Gemma runs off, finishes sobbing, and asks herself, “What the hell’s happening to us?” with crazy eyes.  Hmmm … the old phrase, “chickens coming home to roost” comes to mind.

At the nondescript hotel, Jax and Chibs believe they have found Emma Jean’s place of business. 

Two hearts on the door guarantees genital sores.

Just FYI, I’m going to try not to show any pictures at all this ep of Emma Jean because I hate most ex-Disney Channel actors with a passion, and Ashley Tisdale especially.  Jax & Chibs burst in on EJ and her current “client” who, for some reason, is wearing two pairs of underwear and nothing else but leaves in a hurry when the two SoA’s make their entrance.  Jax & Chibs convince EJ that she’s in danger and that they need to get her out of town.  Just as they’re saddling back up on their bikes, the two bangers in Nero’s crew drive up in a sweet-ass low-rider and say they’ll take Emma Jean. 

Did someone call for delivery of danger with a side of “oh shit”?

Chibs and Jax ride off in response and an enjoyable chase ensues down busy city streets, set to music and the sweet sound of Ashley Tisdale’s screams of terror.  The chase ends when EJ burns her calf on the exhaust pipe and her squirms of pain cause Jax to dump the bike in someone’s front yard.  The bangers pull to a stop and pull out their guns

And they mean business … you can always tell by the sideways gun hold.

Chibs convinces everyone to lay down their guns and have a quick discussion.  Jax explains to them that the Sons have just as much claim to revenge on EJ as the bangers, and promises to give them the proof they require to scare the other “escorts” into permanent silence:  one finger and one breast taken from the corpse of EJ after the Sons have killed her.  After that gruesome promise, the bangers leave, and Chibs tells Jax that this was a set up — someone must have sent the bangers to the hotel to intercept Jax and Chibs during their rescue of EJ.  Guess Carla wasn’t calling Domino’s when she picked up the phone, though I would completely understand the need for a large pepperoni after the night she had.  Anyway, Jax tells EJ they’ll keep her safe at the clubhouse and tells Chibs to call Nero and tell Nero to bring Carla to the clubhouse so they can talk about this.

As they arrive at the clubhouse, Nero and Carla get out of Nero’s truck and approach a very pissed off Jax and Chibs.  Jax fills Nero in and asks who could have told the bangers where Emma Jean was.  Gemma walks up to hear Carla confessing that she told the bangers were Emma Jean was, because she wanted her dead before EJ could destroy everything that she and Nero built together.  Nero brushes her off, implying that she didn’t build anything with him and apologizes to Jax.  Jax says it’s okay and that it sounds like “a move someone else would pull”, looking pointedly at Gemma.

No Oedipal complex here!

    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!
