   Hilarious freaking recap, Apple! It would take me too long to type the funniest lines b/c there were so many! BRAVO!!!!!!!

   This week, the Gemma/Tara relationship irked me. Gemma totally baited Tara into doing her dirty work (beating up Carla). Tara has developed a mind of her own, and she took two steps back with taht ass beating.

   I cried and cried during the wake. So sad.

   Gah, I wish Clay would get off of the oxygen tank. It makes him look weak, and that makes me feel sorry for him and that is the last thing I want. Clay is a Skeevey McSkeeversons. That is one death I am looking forward to (although I doubt it happens before the last season, which is supposedly season 7).

   Note to Tara: Girl, that thing is NEVER going to heal if you keep slamming it into people’s heads.

   Okay, I could be wrong (it has been known to happen occasionally), but I think Jax got both infiltrated and owned in this episode. I think that this whole thing played out exactly the way Nero intended it to do. That whole, ‘I am just like you, I am a father too, I have an endgame too, I am trying to make X dollars to get out too, I just want to have a future for my son too, I want to buy him a farm in Norco, I don’t like unnecessary killing, I want to help poor Emma Jean, get her out of town, I am just like you, Jax, I have a conscience, too, Jax…’ conversations are Nero trying to make Jax feel comfortable and connected to Nero. They’re brothers, man. They want the same things! Nero has been drawing Jax further and further into his web and Jax has no one else he can feel close or equal too any longer, no one he can really relate to as an equal who gets it, and Nero’s been playing that all along.

   And no way is Nero suddenly interested in someone like Gemma, that just seemed wrong to me from the start. She’s a close to sixty year old biker old lady and he has a stable including a pretty hot bottom bitch already. He doesn’t view women in a romantic way, that’s not his game. No, he knew who she was when he picked her up in that bar, he was playing her too to get a natural ‘in’ with the Sons. And I think he has a connection with the Nomads who apparently are behind the home invasions of the Sons and who you noted objected a lot during that meeting. They may have found themselves in some deep shit with someone and be playing their own game for survival by being used by Nero now. After all, they robbed Gemma’s house but it was some lowrider-types who seemed to have the safe and those documents which looked like birth certificates etc although it was hard for me to tell what exactly they all were from the quick scene they gave us. The Nomads do the home invasion, but some hispanic low-riders have the proceeds. Telll me that doesn’t mean something.

   Now I have no idea what the endgame is, whether it’s a norteno versus surteno situation, or Pope versus Mexican Mafia, or if the CIA is a player or a target, a rival cartel, what. But Nero is a player and he has maneuvered Jax into position the way he wants him to be. I am certain of it. There’s some serious game going on with him and Jax has no idea yet.

   Now I just have to see how right I am or how delusional. It’s a fifty-fifty proposition.

   @andyourlittledogtoo that does make sense. Something has always seemed off with Nero to me. That might be why he had no problem leaving Gemma’s ass alone. I don’t think he would have got this far being so nice.also suspect Emma Jean will be found dead somewhere.

   I don’t know, I think Emma Jean’s in on it. I think Nero used her – and she knew it and played the part – to get Jax to think he was part responsible for the brothel closure (due to Gemma and Clay) and also to set himself up as a ‘good’ guy with a conscience who wouldn’t want poor Emma Jean killed. Emma Jean may be his real bottom bitch for all we know. But somehow I don’t think she was ever in any danger. And it was interesting how Nero knew EXACTLY where Jax would find Emma Jean and what she’d have hanging on her doorknob. If Emma Jean just ‘took off’ and called the cops, how would Nero know where to find her in a heartbeat? And his boys just happened to come up on them just in time for a car chase, no sooner no later? The whole thing smacks of manipulation by Nero. I think Emma Jean is going to appear again, and it’s going to be at Nero’s right side.

   I think you’re all right … and I hate it! I want EJ to be gone for good. I LOVE getting bitch slapped by the plot twists I didn’t see coming in this show. However, if the Pope storyline becomes a subplot to Nero’s hidden shenanigans and plans, I will be one pissed off bottom bitch! I want Pope to SUFFER, and I want it to happen by the end of this season!
