Jax and the guys get to work getting poor Dawn out of the box so Tig can bring her with them.  Back at Gemma’s, Juice and Clay have shown up to assess the damage to the house and Unser.  When Unser repeatedly tells Clay that he doesn’t know where Gemma is and just came over to feed the bird, Clay doesn’t believe him and Unser lets him know that Gemma doesn’t share the details of her life with him like she used to do.

And I’m fine, by the way, Clay, thanks for asking.

Clay surmises that this is additional retaliation from the Oakland gangs, and Unser agrees that this makes sense.

Back at the scene of multiple crimes, Jax and Chibs are pouring some green flammable liquid (I thought it was engine coolant, but that doesn’t make sense) into the Box of Bodies, presumably to erase all forensic evidence that Tig and Dawn were there.  Though Jax wants to take off right away, Bobby asks him to give Tig a minute, who’s rocking his daughter’s charred body back and forth.  No fun in this … perfect time for the credits.

Jax lets Bobby know he’s called Luis and Romeo, their CIA undercover connections, trying to set up a meet, but hasn’t heard back.  Bobby suggests calling Alvarez, but Jax nixes it, saying Romeo’s the only one who can save them from these charges.  Jax gives Nero some walking around money, apologizing for disrupting his business with their shit, and Jax notes to Bobby that they might be in the wrong business, seeing how busy Nero’s escorts are.

We get to see Mr. Pope’s office, and I’m impressed …

The Mad Men set had some leftovers, so we jumped on that shit.

Art comes in to the office to report the shit that went down at the railyard, and the fact that the SoA “suspects” are still on the loose.  He promises Pope that between their muscle and the Oakland PD, Jax, Chibs & Tig will be arrested soon.

Back at Diosa International, SoA has lawyered up and brought in Ally to review their case and find out what their options are:

Calamity Jane, I’ve missed your face!  You look so nice on SoA, you know, when you’re sober and in makeup.  Too bad Maureen Ashby isn’t in this season or we could have a real Deadwood reunion with Utter/Unser.

To the point:  the guys have no options.  Ally can buy them some time to scramble some protection for when they’re inside, but only if they turn themselves in by tonight.  Jax gets a call from Clay, which he ignores, sends Chibs off to call Clay back, and then orders Gemma to go check on Tig, who’s practically catatonic over on the Diosa sofa. 

For Tig’s sake, I hope that’s not a “therapy” sofa — if it is, he should probably lay down some plastic before sitting on it.

    I am obsessed with this show and I am so happy it’s being recapped!! The wedding scene made me tear up a little. Supposedly someone important is going to die next week, any thoughts on who?

    Great recap. I’m obsessed with this show. Sidenote- Am I the ONLY person who cannot understand a fucking word Chibs says? Seriously. Not one single word. Lastly, I just loved how Clay says to Unser “good thing Gemma wasnt here” (reguarding the break-in/assault). I guess Gemma getting beat up is only ok when HE does it. Clay is such a tool, and I get more pissed off every time another member has a “I give you credit for admitting you killed piney cause it had to be hard” heart-to-heart with him. Ugh. No one even questions his self-defense defense! They seem to have forgotten about the gazillion innocent people the club has mistakenly murdered under Clay’s leadership INCLUDING OTHER MEMBER’S OWN FAMILY MEMBERS.

    Tmurda – I can’t understand Chibs either. I feel like I need the captions on!!

    Question – Clay is lying about the whole “I killed Piney in self defense” thing? I can’t remember how it actually went down last season. I think Clay is trying to make himself look weak b/c he has some plan in his head about how to get back on top.

    I can’t tell if Nero is a good guy or a bad guy. I hope he isn’t undercover b/c we already have that story line, and I like that him and Jax bonded.

    “Paging Dr. Boner” LOLOLOL!!

    Chibs is Irish. I thought he came from the SoA gang in Ireland, or whatever gang they were working with 2 seasons ago.

    What a surprise to see that the new guys are the ones that are beating up people affiliated with the Sons. I can’t wait to see where that goes and how Jax handles it.

    Thanks for the great recap, AP!

    Clay is lying about killing Piney in self-defense. He killed him because Piney was threatening to tell the club about the letters and how Clay killed J.T.

    Thanks for the great recap! Love this show!

    Tmurda- I just said the exact same thing last episode about Chibs. Can’t understand a single word he ever says. Ever!

    Mia- I think Tara’s cast appears to be on the wrong arm in the screen cap because she is looking in a mirror. Pretty sure the cast is always on her right hand.

    Hi everybody! Thanks for all your comments and answering all the questions. As plockeness stated, Chibs IS Irish. I can’t believe I forgot the plot about his Irish baby momma and teenaged daughter being held hostage by Jimmy O’Phelan, played by Titus Welliver, who also happens to be a “Lost” alum (The Man In Black). How did I forget that Katey Sagal was Helen on Lost? That explains why Kurt Sutter is so Lost-cast friendly, too.

    Chibs has a Northern Irish accent, which does sound more Scottish than the southern “top o’ the morning” leprechaun speech we usually hear on tv. I am so grateful you’re recapping this show because I always had these plot questions from past episodes and now I see I’m not the only one.

    CHIBS IS NOT IRISH!!!!
    My god he IS Scottish, he grew up in Belfast Ireland but he was born in Scotland- he IS Scottish. His accent is Scottish. He is not Irish, but Fiona was Irish.
    Honestly if you’re obsessed with the show you should know that.
    I mean seriously Tommy Flanagan (a.k.a Chibs) is Scottish!!! Born is Glasgow just like Chibs! I don’t think he’d appreciate you guys telling him he’s Irish.
    He isn’t that hard to understand either. Except when hes whispering-at those times even I have a hard time. But seriously SCOTTISH NOT IRISH.

    HW: Thanks for the clarification. Being Scotch-Irish myself, I can see how this distinction CAN DRIVE YOU SO CRAZY YOU NEED TO CAPITALIZE EVERYTHING!!! Also, I think Chibs would be more pissed that I called him Catholic! Please check out my newest re-cap, and correct my mistakes there. I do make a lot of them, and you seem to know more than me about the show.

    Whoa you’re a Scot-Irish? No f-ing way seriously? Awesome! I think Chibs is Catholic just not majorly hes very uh loose? I dunno a relaxed Catholic? Something like that he’s not as big on all the rules and regulations, I could be wrong.
    And yeah I’m a little (that means a lot) obessed with SoA so…..I get a little tochy when people mess up- but mostly just on Tig and Chibs.
    I shall check the new recap.
