At Stockton, No-Nonsense Nurse is bringing Tara up to speed on Otto. He complained of meningitis symptoms so they brought him in to the infirmary. After the nurse leaves, Otto and Tara have a philosophical conversation about God and whether either of them believe in God. Tara looks confused. Otto tells her that he hasn’t cried like he did with her yesterday in years, and he looks at it as a type of religious experience.
Why aren’t you playing with yourself? I need more fodder for my girl spank bank.
He does say he’ll recant his RICO statement, and Tara is relieved. Otto wants one more thing from Tara, though. He wants her to get a crucifix that he gave LuAnn, and he wants it today, in case Tara can’t get it to him later because the blood work will reveal that there’s nothing wrong with him and no reason for him to see Dr. Knowles-Teller again.
Clay walks in with a Visitor sticker to the Stockton visiting room and chats with a elderly gentleman with a tracheotomy tube that he has to push on to speak (treatment for throat cancer?). We’ve seen this guy in a previous season, he’s always got solid information from inside for SoA, but I don’t remember his name or specific connection to the club. As he and Clay shake hands, I realize that I forgot about the guns Clay always brings to every meeting.
Yowza! BTW, I never called you a wife beater, Clay. I’ll keep quiet now.
Clay asks the old inmate if he knows anything about the RICO sting, and whether Otto has anything to do with it. The old guy says he doesn’t know anything new, only that Otto talked to the feds, like he told Jax “last time”. Clay looks like he got punched in the stomach when he realizes that Jax has been on top of this for some time now. Clay realizes this is a dead-end for new info, and asks Grandpa Inmate if there’s anything he can do for him on the outside. The old guy answers “There is no more outside”. Sad …
At Teller-Morrow, Unser drives up in his truck and walks in the office to talk to Gemma, who wants to know where he’s been, since she couldn’t find his Airstream when she went to the trucking company to visit. He tells her the new owners kicked him off the property after the shooting, and he’s been moving around ever since. Gemma tells him that he can park his trailer on the edge of the garage property until he finds a new lot.
After all he’s done for the club, it’s the least she could do. The very least.
Gemma asks Unser if he knows any inside info she can give to Jax about Clay’s role in the break-ins/Rita’s murder, etc. so Jax can bring it to the table. Unser says he doesn’t have anything he can think of off-hand, but he’ll think about it.
Please do … I don’t want to ever lay under Clayenstein again if I don’t have to.

The elderly gentleman’s name on the show is Lenny “the Pimp” Janowitz, one of the First 9, and in prison for killing some ATF agents. He’s also played by Sonny Barger, the former president of the Oakland chapter of the Hell’s Angels, and pretty much the most famous/infamous biker of all time.
Imdb.com. A recapper’s best friend.
I don’t fully understand how Tara can get blamed. The guard got knocked out so he didn’t see where the crucifix came from. Can’t she blame the nurse and say her took it off of the nurse? Stole it from Tara is some way? There seems to be several ways to get around this framing. Hell just have Otto killed in prison in some way if it’s an issue. That takes care of everything once he recants his statements.
I like Juice, he was one of my favorites but this episode he was driving me nuts! How guilty can you look!? There’s no way he’s going to survive this season.
The problem Tara has is that she was under the radar. Now that Otto has done this in contact with her the most cursory investigation will out her as the wife of the pres of SAMCRO, the last people that should have any contact with Otto and have a vested interest in trying to get him to recant the RICO testimony. She’s out now and smack dab in a murder probe inside the prison. The job in Oregon she can kiss goodbye too, they’ll never hire her now that this is on her plate. The way I see it this is the first time Tara has really had to own up to her deal with SAMCRO and being Jax’ old lady. Up until now she was playing at being the badass old lady and getting singed around the edges without really paying the price. She was always a victim or a bystander and got away with whatever was going down. She never really paid the price, not really. I mean bad stuff happened TO her but it was victim bad stuff. This time she will be the focus of the LAW, they might charge her, they might jail her, they might even convict her. She will have paid THAT price, the actual legal price. To me that’s different than just the victim price. Anyway you look at it she is pretty messed up in her head too. Her relationship with Thomas is very weird. She ignores him, she wakes him up on purpose to meet her own needs. She could have just picked him up while he was sleeping and held him but she didn’t, she had to actually wake him up and upset him so he would need her. That’s weird. Add that to the increasing amount of time she spends at home getting her smoke on and she’s losing it. She can’t deal any more, she’s just fronting. It’s interesting to me. I wonder if they’ll do anything real with that or just leave it be. I hope they work that angle more.
@Suburbint, thanks for getting that info! I love to use imdb.com, especially because I can never remember that Danny Trejo’s character’s name is “Romeo” (a mug like that does not conjure the name Romeo in my brain). Somehow, I still missed the Lenny/Sonny info, so much appreciated. @missV, I’m hoping there’s an easy way out of this crucifix/accessory thing, too. I agree that they should blame the dead nurse; it’s not like she’s going to care and they already did that with Miles and the brick of coke. @yourlittledogtoo, I know, right? Why not just hold Thomas and rock him while he’s still sleeping? Is there a disorder in the DSM that covers people who cause pain just so they can be the ones to end the pain? Are there meds for that … besides THC, I mean?
OMG, Apple! “Jax smells a half-Puerto Rican, half-Black rat.” and the pic…LOLOLOL!
I also thought the fact that Tara woke up Thomas was weird.
This episode of SOA was just insanely powerful. I had a feeling that the deal with Tara and Otto wouldn’t end well. He feels cheated by the MC and wants a way to get back at them for everything they’ve done to him over the years. Bringing in the crucifix was a bad idea and honestly Tara and Gemma should have known better. Now she could possibly be an accessory to murder and Tara’s hopes of moving on from Charming are done. You just never know with SOA so I’ve got my Hopper from DISH recording the show each week. It’s four times more recording space than all the other DVRs out there which means I don’t have to rush to watch everything I’ve recorded. I’m not surprised that Jax found a way to still kill the guy that gave up the other guys involved in Opie’s death. He is determined to get revenge anyway he can. My DISH co-worker pointed out that the rage over Opie is understandable but he just tore down a 20 year relationship with another MC. That’s true but at the same time you have to wonder what the other club would have done in Jax’s position. I thought for sure that Juice was about to meet his maker. Regardless of why he did what he did Jax won’t forgive him that easily.
How could Tara not have known after she saw the crucifix that it had enormous potential to be a deadly weapon… I’m a little slow on the draw with this show, things sneak up on my all the time, but even I knew it was no ordinary crucifix. I need these recaps, I seem to miss things in every episode that prove necessary to the plot.
I was almost relieved to see Otto reveal his intentions despite it’s brutality because his interactions with Tara have been freaking me out.
Waiting to see what he was going to finally do was really hard to watch, like a horror flick.
It’s a testament to the writing and acting that Clay became a sympathetic character to me in this episode, I wanted him dead for a while and this episode shifted me around into feeling empathy and compassion for him.
I’m so glad you mentioned the crying voiceover, cuz I too was like “WTF?” as I watched the completely still, sleeping baby in his crib as I was hearing him angrily cry. And no, you do not wake a sleeping baby. I have forbid my fiance from eating breakfast before work on certain mornings because i’m afraid the sound of opening/closing cabinets and dishes being moved around will wake his daughter. That bitch must REALLY be lonely.
Great recap, keep it up!!!
