Hello, Gasmii!  Hope you’re all having a great week!   Let’s get our motors running:

Jax is writing another letter to Abel & Thomas.  Apparently, he HATES a lot of people, and it’s keeping him up at night.  He’s riding around on his motorcycle when he should be sleeping next to the woman who used to be a pretty nice girl.

I’ll sleep when they’re dead … when they’re all dead!!!

During the voiceover, we get to see Gemma is getting less picky about her bedroom partners as the season continues.

A little Vitamin P, a little pot, I’m golden.

Clay’s got only his guns (lots of guns) to keep him company.  As one of you mentioned in the comments awhile back, Clay may not be as sick as he seems, since he’s sans oxygen tank in this scene.  Anyway, Jax writes that he buried a part of himself in that box that holds Opie, but each new day is a box, and it’s up to each person to decide whether that box is a gift or a coffin.  Symbolism has never been subtle with Mr. Sutter, but we’ll get into that later.

Jax, Bobby and Chibs surprise the Mayor of Charming (Jacob Hale, brother of former Deputy Chief David Hale, who was killed in a SAMCRO-related incident in Season 3) with a little visit during his breakfast at the local diner.  The Mayor mentions the home invasions, and says the Charming community is starting to think that SAMCRO is responsible. 

Home invasions?  Please, Jake, don’t insult us.  Coke, guns, whores … we’re big boys.

Jax propositions the Mayor with helping him secure the votes he desperately needs for his plans for “Charming Heights”, a new community he wants to build on local land that he owns.  Jacob needs one more councilman to vote “yes” to Charming Heights on the soon-to-be-voted-on motion, or the land will revert to the town for agriculture.  In return, the Mayor must lease the old Elks Lodge building he owns on the edge of town to Jax and Nero for the Diosa Norte business.  Jacob Hale is surprised that they would think he would be open to that, especially given their history, but Charming Heights is his crowning glory, and he is tempted. 

Do you think we could put in a Diosa Norte Dos in Charming Heights?

Jax says he’ll be in touch, and the guys leave.  Credits.

At church, Jax tells everyone that he’s set up the three-way meet between SAMCRO, Galen, who is their IRA contact for the guns, and the cartel, to whom the IRA will be selling some big guns with SAMCRO as the delivery men.  All the former Nomads — Frankie, Greg, and Go-Go — are more concerned about the locals blaming SAMCRO for the home invasions.

We’re actually more worried about YOU guys finding out that we’re the home invaders, but whatevs.

    O M G!

    “Nero sends them Venus Van Dam, a transgender escort played by Justified‘s Walton Goggins, who worked with SOA creator Kurt Sutter on The Shield (where Goggins’ character, Shane Vendrell, used the alias Cletus Van Damme). ”

    That was about the awseomenest ‘guest’ visit I have ever seen. We simply could not stop laughing. And poor horndog Tig. Just when things start getting a bit too dark and turgid, they whip out a character like Venus Van Dam.

    And what is up with Clay? Is he behind the home invasions? Is all his weird behavior to try to regain control of SAMCRO? Still, he and Gemma may get back together if the thing with Nero or the thing with chicks doesn’t work out for her. Sadly, she’s starting to act as though she enjoys a little pre-coital beatdown.

    OMG! Walter Goggins was AWESOME! I think Clay is behind the home invasions. I think he is doing everything in his power to make Jax look bad. That’s why he pushed to vote so soon on the escort thing too.

    Venus Van Damme made my entire week. Here is a great article with the great Walton Goggins about his cameo: http://tv.yahoo.com/news/sons-anarchy-justifieds-walton-goggins-jaw-dropping-cameo-030000662.html

    I loved the Sheild, I love Justified and my jaw dropped when I realized who was playing Venus. Amazing…and some much-needed levity.

    Ugh, the Nero storyline is killing me! This week, I think he’s on the same side as the Sons. When he told Gemma about his plan for his kid, I was convinced. I am sure next week, I will think he’s undercover or something like that.

    You would think a cop’s wife would be able to fire a gun better…

    Observation: When Tara beat Carla’s ass, I swear I thought she used her cast hand.

    OMG! The box! I was convinced there was a bomb in it.

    She used both hands – amazing ahe didn’t re-break everything. Was it just me or did she seem disappointed to have the air cast? Guess it’s tough to do a serious beatdown on someone with a hand encased in, essentially, bubble wrap as opposed to plaster.
