You think Piney is actually dead? Come on, he will turn out to be a CIA agent in deep cover an alien and will get Sutter out of whatever hole he has written himself into.

How was the Juice race issue resolved anyway?

Since his birth certificate says Hispanic, Chibs told him it didn't matter who his father is. Plus, the sheriff guy let him destroy the only copy of that information to apologize for what he put him through.

It was all a very stupid and contrived way to make him less of a dick. It didn't really work.

- Tig and Clay blah blah blahed. Clay asked him if they were cool, Tig didn't know.

- He went to get his daughter from the cop but the cop shackled him and Pope showed up. Pope burned his daughter alive in retaliation. The cop was then to bring him in for the murder of Pope's daughter but Tig got free and killed him and cried over his daughter's body.

- Gemma and Tara argued. Blah blah blah. "He's my son, he's my husband." "They're my grandchildren, they're my sons." "I'm smarter than you, don't mess with me." Same old poo poo.

- Pope had someone accuse Jax and Chibs of killing the Niners. They deduced that it was a ploy to get them in prison so they could be killed and Pope's hands would be clean. They decided to run and Gemma took them to Jimmy Smit's whorehouse.

- The sheriff also kind of reasoned out that the Sons' warrants were orchestrated by Pope.

- We got some quick shot of Opie putting a For Sale sign on his bike.

- Unser was beaten, the victim of another home invasion. We saw that one of the attackers had a prosthetic leg and sneakers matching Greg the Peg, one of the Nomads the Sons voted in earlier in the episode.

I think that's pretty much it.

Holy poo poo. Thanks for the recap.

And Jax thinks he has some kind of leverage over the CIA now?

Of all of the absurdities of this show, I felt that this one was surprisingly grounded. Remember the whole Fast and Furious debacle, or the Iran-Contra affair? Imagine a violent biker gang comes out and says that they brokered gun deals and smuggled coke into the States for one of the most powerful cartels in North America, who just happened to be supported by the CIA. There is no telling what kind of poo poo storm that would unleash.

Also, can anyone refresh my memory as to the WTF from last season? I remember that the kooky fed and the sherrif pushed tagging this for the benefit of people still catching up to the end of Season 3 hard on Otto and when they had him convinced that Bobby Elvis either got Luann killed, banged Luann, or didn't kill the dude that banged Luann he implicated Bobby and everyone else. Or something. Then poo poo HAPPENS and bobby is in jail, Otto says some words, and it all looks dire for our motorcycle bros. The MORE poo poo HAPPENS and it all gets reset.

I remember the cartel dudes actually being Feds, and they explained as much in the season premier. Although, I can never remember if Machete and his buddy were Cartel dudes that got handed badges by the Feds or if they were just really deep undercover guys. However, all that other stuff and the end of last season is just a hazy alcoholic blur for me.


They are legitimate cartel guys being backed by the CIA. You didn't miss much. Absolutely everything bad that the Sons had coming to them was put to an end by the CIA bullshit.

Also, Tara accepts her role as chief old lady during a final scene with some really heavy handed symbolism. That's about it.

Also, didn't Sutter say that he has a "7 season plan" in mind for the show? Meaning we'd still have two seasons after this anyway? But, on the bright side, we might see Goon Prospect take on a bigger role in "SoA:TNG" since he's probably the only one to not get himself killed somehow. We'd get to see him fill the Piney role with a trike stocked with Mountain Dew and Cheetos... Until Opie kills him.

Given Sutter's track record with (former) prospects, I wouldn't be surprised if Goon Prospect was killed off as part of some utterly retarded subplot.

Well storywise it should be clay but since this is sutter it will be Opie

Honestly, since Sutter would never kill Clay, I would actually be fine with it being Opie. I honestly don't care about him anymore. He has just always seemed like a sort of reserve character who comes in and out of plot lines and spends the rest of the time just not giving a poo poo about anything. Even when he was getting married or killing Stahl, he just seemed really "meh" about the whole thing. I just can't stand it anymore.

Gemma has always been a little nuts when it comes to family. It's not too absurd to imagine that she might flip a poo poo over that if she thought Tara was trying to push her out.

Honestly though, Tara looks seriously unhinged. Someone else really needs to be watching those kids for a little while.

I don't want to overstate it, because god knows where this will end up, but I did like that thing Jax said about throwing Tig to the wolves whenever he ceases to become useful. I just hope it wasn't just a thing he said to placate Pope. It's a pretty big change from "the sons are my family and family got to stick together bro".

He was definitely incredibly pissed at Tig during the "you owe me" speech, so I don't have trouble believing that he was serious.
