Here is a graph of the number of scenes that pass the Bechdel-Wallace test in each episode of True Blood, season 1:
NB I didn't rewatch all the episodes, but have just relied on the HBO episode recaps to jog my memory; so some short scenes may have escaped me. I think though I've got them all.
Note that Sookie's interactions with other women decrease sharply after she loses her virginity (at least I'm guessing that that's the turning point), and in the last 3 episodes there are none. Tara, however, has not yet formed a secure relationship with a man, and in the last several episodes almost all the Bechdel-Wallace passing scenes involve her.
