At St. Thomas, Gemma takes another ride on the guilt train when Tara comes in to make sure she’s doing okay after being run off the road, and to thank her for doing her best to protect her babies.

When you tell one lie, it leads to another … and a hug.

 Jax pops in, to quiz Gemma on what she remembers, since Ray has planted a Whomping Willow of doubt in his mind that Gemma was run off the road by Ray’s van.  She vaguely guesses that the van was brown, and Jax is none too happy with her answer.

Guess I can’t gut shoot my mother on a hunch, but I’m considering it.

Jax gets interrupted by a phone call, and walks out his mom’s hospital room.  I guess it’s Nero, since he refers to the person on the other end of the phone as “ese“. 

He, Bobby, and Chibs walk into Diosa Norte and call for Nero.  He’s in the back and they walk in on him tied to a chair.  Frankie Diamonds yells at them from the other side of the room to drop their weapons and clips.  He’s holding his gun inside Lyla’s mouth.

Don’t be fooled by her expression:  Lyla’s used to this position.  She can hold her mouth like this for hours.

Frankie wants money, but Jax says the club doesn’t have the $200,000 Frankie is politely requesting at the moment.  Nero says he’s got $130K in his safe in the other room, as well as a couple of nice watches, which Frankie agrees to take instead.  Frankie orders Bobby to go get the money and Frankie tells Jax that the only reason he’s doing this is because Clay reneged on his part of their bargain: to pay the Nomads handsomely in exchange for doing his get-me-back-to-club-president dirty work.  Jax asks if Clay ok’ed Frankie attacking Gemma and the kids and Frankie tells Jax he didn’t do it.  Bobby returns with Frankie’s money and watches, and he gets Nero’s truck keys, but he’s not done.  He decides to take Chibs with him as insurance, and as a kicker, shoots Lyla in the leg on the way out. 

When we return from commercials, we see Lyla moaning on the couch with Bobby

and not in a good way.

Nero comes in and tells Jax he’s got a doctor — who’s also a client (just like The Hair Club for Men!), so he’ll keep quiet — on the way to fix up Lyla.  They walk outside and have it out.  Nero’s pissed that, once again, the club has negatively interfered with his upstanding escort business.  Jax insists he’s got it handled, but Nero disagrees.  Nero warns him that the club is crumbling around him and asks about Gemma.  Jax tells him to stay out of it, and Nero tells Jax the truth about Gemma’s accident, and how she went along with Clay’s lie because it seemed easier.  Jax tells Nero he’s welcome to Gemma and all the baggage she drags with her.

    “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……
