HBO has released the synopsis for True Blood season 6, episode 9 “Life Matters,” which teases Bill and Eric’s plans to save the vampires from extinction.

The synopsis for True Blood season 6, episode 9 “Life Matters” is:

A desperate Bill (Stephen Moyer) tries to ferry Warlow (Rob Kazinsky) away from the faerie plain, but Sookie (Anna Paquin) is having none of it. Meanwhile, Eric (Alexander Skarsgård) arrives at vamp camp, looking to inflict serious human damage. In Bon Temps, friends and family take emotional turns remembering a fallen neighbor. Bill feels the pull of Lilith’s (Jessica Clark) sirens.

Written by Brian Buckner; directed by Romeo Tirone.

“Life Matters” will premiere Aug. 11 at 9 p.m. EST.

Today, Kristin Bauer van Straten spoke with Access Hollywood about the possibility that Eric could die in his attempts to seek revenge on humans.

“It is a fear of mine for a couple of reasons. I love being around him,” the actress said while tearing up.

Bauer went on to explain her tears saying, “It’s a family. You know, I’m around Alex often for 70 hours a week and we laugh and laugh. It’s my favorite part of the job … So I could cry thinking about whenever — if it’s 10 years from now and I’m not next to Alex, I’ll be sad.”

What do you think will happen to Eric when he goes back to the vamp camp on ‘True Blood’?
