Before anyone can make sense of this, Roosevelt is pulled away because some of the guys start beating on the deputy who came in to escort the would-be pisser. Very mysterious … Clay tells Gemma to leave, and that he’ll come back later to make sure none of the other seized property is theirs.
Back at Biancone’s, the guys say goodbye to Venus and try to re-arrange Allen as he was before he passed out. He wakes up, disoriented, and gives Tig some terrible deja vu … Allen bites his ass. Being that he’s serious eater, Allen’s able to bite through Tig’s jeans and draw blood.
It feels like the first time … it feels like the very first time (or second).
The guys lay out Tiggy on the table for Tara to review. She says she can stitch him up, and that’s when Jax notices her new cast. He asks about her appointment, assuming that the soft cast is good news, but Tara demurs, saying it only offers more mobility. I’m sure she has her sane, logical reasons for keeping the good news about her hand to herself. Perhaps during her nightly smokes, she’s rethinking the vows she made and considering running off with the boys for her spin-off series.
Tara Teller, Medicine Woman
Jax leaves Tig in Tara’s shaky but capable hands and picks up the blackmail pictures from Juice on his way out of the clubhouse. Gemma meets him in the parking lot and yells at him about Nero and unresolved issues and other stuff. Jax is a tad busy but takes a few moments to tell her she’s a shitty mom and grandmother.
And you never got me that Red Ryder BB Gun for Christmas you promised me in 1983.
He gives her a firm “no” on the Nero banging but, as a consolation prize, asks her to go inside and help Tara stitch up Tig. I guess that makes sense: she still gets to stare at some naked man-ass. Inside, Tara’s on-the-mend hand begins to fail her, so Chibs volunteers to step in, if she’ll talk him through it. First, though, he’s got to put on his reading glasses so he can see better. Man, SAMCRO is turning into an AARP convention — I still love me some Chibs, though!
Mo chuisle, could you get me my teeth out of that glass so I can bite through the thread when I finish here?
Jax surprises the Mayor as he’s getting into his car in a private alley and offers him the compromising pics of Allen, who happens to be the one city council vote the Mayor needs to push Charming Heights through. Jax tells Jacob that he’s willing to do all the dirty work of the blackmail so if the scandal broke, it would never touch the Mayor. Jake isn’t interested but Jax tells him to call him if he changes his mind.

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.
