HBO released a new trailer for episode 3.10 titled "I Smell a Rat". This trailer aired on 8/14/10. Based on the short trailer there will be a lot of action in next week's episode. I believe the "rat" reference may relate to a certain secret mission. Eric does confront Bill to tell Sookie the truth. 

For all the screen caps from the trailer above please click here:

Based on the trailer and screen caps here are my "observations" of what we may be seeing in the upcoming episode.  NOTE SPOILER IN NATURE-----all my "guesses" of course

1. Eric goes to Jason's house (where Sookie is hiding). Not sure this action is first. Eric is wearing a leather jacket. The scene where Eric is talking to Pam I believe takes place first. Eric is wearing the black tank top. screen caps 002-009. 

The caps 002-009 show Pam speaking to Eric about Sookie. (shown above)

2. Next set of screen caps show Bill at Jason's house. Bill is p-o'ed that Sookie is not there. 

(guess Bill had Sookie hiding out there.that's why Bill confronts Jason) screen caps 010-014

3.Sookie and Eric are talking..

(close ups of Sookie and Eric's face). I believe this action must take place at Fangtasia's-looks like the storage room This action must be before? the scene with Eric and Pam? Maybe this is why Pam is talking to Eric about not just protecting Sookie but using her power to help? (all my guesses..) screen caps 015-023. Eric is saying about if he goes to his final death his regret is to not have kissed Sookie. Note Sookie's face in cap 020-there is a softening in her eyes when looking up at him..(no way is she looking at Bill here...)

4. Next screen cap shows a dark haired tall man in a leather jacket (hmm. could be same jacket from the first cap..)

bending down to a woman's neck..screen caps 024-026..Can barely see the woman's face top part of screen cap..I think it is Sookie..the bridge of the nose is similar..this action takes place I believe at the time we see Bill Sookie and Eric together towards the later part of the trailer so yes the action is back and forth (not all sequential..)

5. next caps show Arlene and Terry she is telling him that the baby is not his.(so sad..) 

screen cap 027-030. There is an action in the trailer that shows a pit bull before these caps. They are too blurry so I did not capture but I believe to be Hoyt and Tommy fighting (Tommy must shift into the dog) this fight is shown later on.

6. next 2 caps are of Sam (flashback) with a suit. A man comes in with a gun and hits Sam. screen caps 032 (I think the guy with the gun is the same guy later on that Sam beats up)

7. Jessica running out of the house. The Bon Temps residents are ticked off at all vamps so someone has painted go back to Hell on Bill's house and burnt a cross in the front yard. screen caps 033-035

8. Screen cap 038 is Jason (shown above) .I think this is really the action from his house when Bill asks him where is Sookie and how he promised to keep her safe..Jason's face is one of dispair-afraid that he let his sister down (he probably went off to find Crystal when Sookie went missing-ok the Viking Vamp is keeping her safe I believe..LOL)

9 Screen cap 037-038- Calvin Norris is being tended to by Laffayette, Jesus and Crystal.  

Perhaps Crystal convinced them to take  Calvin back to Hotshot but I think they took him to a curandero's house (Jesus may know Norris is a were) we see Calvin Norris coming too later on (and hitting Crystal) again the action in the caps/trailer may  be out of sequence to how we will see it on air. (the screen caps at the end of this entry show a man performing a ceremony)

We next see Tara for only a few frames too blurry to capture. She appears to be running away from someone..post Franklin shooting?

10. we see another Sam flashback.  I think this one is what happens when Sam comes to after getting hit (screen caps  031-032) Sam goes back to retaliate and take back his money (that he probably stole in the first place) screen caps 039-041.

We then see a shirtless man shooting someone that is on the ground. (Shown below)the location is the same (curved tree trunk in background) screen caps 042-043. It looks like it is a woman? being shot? Not sure if this is Sam or Tommy. Next we see someone shooting that person..Could be Debbie Pelt? 

11. Next scene in trailer is of Hoyt and Tommy fighting (earlier cap..) too blurry to catch as an image but appears in the trailer. 

12. Sookie is on Jason's couch (sleeping) A man is to the right could be Eric..screen cap 045. 

13. Calvin must heal/come around  and is shown hitting  Crystal screen cap 046.

14. Russell is in bed with a male prostitute named Tony (Played by Michael Steger). Russell is shown  staking Tony. If it were a vampire being staked,  he would have disintegrated. Instead we see the blood coming out his mouth and chest. screen caps 047-050

15. Eric makes Bill tell Sookie the truth. I think this is before Eric goes off to "take care of"  Russell and makes sure Sookie knows the real truth on why Bill was in Bon Temps. screen caps 051-057 are of Eric with quite an angry face.  (check out Bill's face caps  061-063..)looks like an OSM to me!!  Sookie is shown in 058, -59 looking puzzled waiting for Bill to speak.shown below:

What is missing from the preview trailer HBO released for Episode 3.10 "I smell a Rat" are some frames that show what appears to be a ceremony being performed by a man (could be a curandero/babaloa/witch doctor). The images below are from a youtube video uploaded last night by user luckylocket 403:

Lafayette and Jesus are shown below and appear to be afraid of whatever the witch doctor is doing (looks like a ceremony of the darker arts. There are human skulls around the cauldron)

Screen caps added to the site for the upcoming episode of True Blood. Episode 3.09 will air on 8/15/10. Titled "Everything is Broken" this episode will bring some answers hopefully. One of the questions Sookie has is why is the King interested in her and also finds out that Bill does know why and what she is. Nan Flanigan visits Fangtasia and it does not bode well for Eric Norhtman (shown above with a bit of blood coming out of his nose post punishment).

The full photo gallery is here click for link  the photos are spoiler in nature so don't click if you don't want spoiling. A few more images are below:

This screen cap shows Claudine doing some light zapping of her own.

In this scene, Pam is speaking with Eric. She is so worried about what will happen (to her maker).
