Happy Halloween!  Dia de Los Muertos!  All Souls Day!  … whatever you’re celebrating this week! Any holiday’s a good day to spend with the Sons … let’s get started.

We open with paramedics at the scene of Gemma’s one-car accident. 

The Escalade fought the tree and the tree won.  The Whomping Willow strikes again.

Gemma’s regaining consciousness and her first thought is for the boys.

Unfortunately, Gemma has woken up in worse places.

We see that Thomas is unharmed, safe in the arms of a paramedic, but Abel is being carried to the ambulance on a backboard, with an IV in his arm and his head immobilized.  Gemma’s understandably feeling guilty upset.

At the scene of Jax’s and Chib’s accident, Jax and Chibs are loading the corpse of the man who shot at them into the back of Tara’s car with Tig, while she waits patiently in the passenger seat, silently praying.

Thank goodness I paid the dealership extra for the ScotchGuard.

We find out Bobby’s on his way, and the guys are going to return to the cabin and figure out what to do next.

Clayenstein is riding through the dark streets of Charming, and his arthritic fingers seem to be giving him no trouble at all.  He returns to his bachelor pad to find Juicy, on the edge of tears, like he’s always been recently, who tells him about Jax’s attack and Gemma’s accident.

At the cabin, Tara and Jax are in the bedroom and are discussing who could be behind the Jax/Chibs attack.  He tells Tara he’ll take care of it and warns her to stay inside the bedroom, with the iPod/Bose system turned all the way up, while he, Tig, Chibs, and Bobby figure out who the dead guy who shot at them is and what they should do with his body.  Chibs checks the guy for identifying tattoos, but only finds a few prison tats, and nothing that signifies an affiliation with Pope or the Niners or anyone else.  Too bad these bad guys don’t carry wallets with i.d.  When Tig asks Jax how he wants to dispose of the body, Jax goes the King Solomon route.

Hands are pretty much gratuitous at this point, anyway.

Jax tells Chibs to give one chopped-off hand to Unser so he can run the fingerprints through the system and see what he comes up with. 

Even Tig thinks this method is a little sick.

At the same time, Jax wants Pope to get the other hand and figure out who the guy is so Jax can test Pope’s trustworthiness and see if he comes up with the same info Unser will deliver.  If only Dexter were here, with his trusty smartphone fingerprint app.

Yes, I stole this pic from JalleytoCali’s (holla!) Dexter recap on tvgasm.  Still, it would be convenient for Jax.  Much less chopping involved.

    “Get used to living in a brothel.” I loved that Jax told Gemma what she could look forward to if she didn’t do as he asked and worked Clay (so to speak). And I don’t for a minute believe he means for her to get back in their good graces, I think the new dark Jax has had it with his mother and Clay and will leave her to her fate if she does follow through and get him the info on Clay. She does deserve it.

    Chibs isn’t dead, he just got conked on the head. I have no idea why Frankie didn’t shoot him other than as a plot device to keep us guessing without actually killing Chibs. I also think that although Frankie could have more easily taken Lyla hostage he also probably assumed that the club wouldn’t have balked at following him in order to save a whore but would be much more careful of one of their brother’s lives. Frankie doesn’t really know Lyla or see her as the old lady of a member, just as a whore/porn actress working for Nero. I still wish they’d killed Chibs in jail instead of Opie because although I like the guy I still can’t understand a thing that handsome Irishman says any more.

    Sutter: either tone Chibs accent down some or give us subtitles. I’m missing a lot of dialogue here. Thanks ever so.

    All in all a good episode. Feel a little cheated that Abel had a ‘slight cut on his head’ and the big problem was his ‘heart rate’ or whatever that is easily not a problem quite quickly. He was in a surgical bay and Tara said something about ‘a line from his leg to his heart’ I think so it’ a little unclear to me what they were doing to that baby in there and why after all of that it wasn’t really any big deal after all. Very confused by Abel’s injury and treatment.

    @ApplePie I’m so with you on the love for Happy! He and Chibbs are my favorites

    I think the heart issue with Abel may have some significance that isn’t being revealed yet. Probably will allude to the “family flaw” e.g. the heart condition that killed Thomas (Jax brother) and maybe Abel has it.

    Best line of the night was when Jax was watching the procedure on Abel and said “Hasn’t this kid been through enough?”

    I don’t think they are going to kill Chibbs. I think that Juice just sealed his fate though. Probably will be killed off in the season finale.

    I think Abel was born with a hole in his heart from the meth bender Wendy went on, but it was repaired. I think that was why they were concerned with his heart rate being irregular.
    Clay is totally setting Juice up so it can seem like he discovered the rat, so he can get back in good with the club once his plans with the nomads is made public to everyone.

    Great recap, AP! I love how detailed you are.

    Ughhhhh, I want Clay to just die already. I hope that Jax has some other intentions w/ Gemma and Clay getting back together. Maybe they will take each other out and Jax won’t have to get his hands dirty??

    Totally on the Chibs train. My other fav is Filthy Phil – they big, curly haired guy who has like, 2 lines every episode. He’s like a big teddy bear w/ a gun and a motorcycle.

    My fav scene was Jax taking Thomas from Gemma so Tara could punch her. I knew that was coming and I loved it!!!

    I thought the Sons weren’t SUPER racist. Juice is half Puerto Rican and half black, what’s the big deal about his dad being black??? Latinos are okay, but not so much black people????

    I don’t Chibs is dead, but I did NOT like the fact K. Sutter made us hold our breath. That scene scared me!!!

    the club doesn’t allow black members that is why it was a big deal when Juice found out his father was black

    In one of the last WTF Sutter video blogs (sutterink.com S5 Ep 34 blog to be exact) they are talking about they just finished wrapping the season. Juice is in the video and said he hasn’t worked for 11 ish days but said that would be a spoiler if they said which episode (see around 5 minute mark). Think Juicy bites it soon……
