At first, I think this scene is included to make Jax look presidential again, ordering people around, but then I realize he just wanted Gemma and Chibs gone so he could talk to Ally with just Tara and Bobby.  Jax lets Ally know that they need to get the local charges dropped ASAP so they can be free to work with the feds and get off the chopping block for RICO (past crimes) and hopefully, the gun running (current crimes).  Chibs comes over to tell them about the break-in at Gemma’s and Jax assumes it’s Pope again.  He sends Bobby to bring Gemma home, assess the damage, and put club members on alert, and then tells Chibs they need to get Fawn’s Oakland address so they can protect “Tig’s spawn”.

Fawn and Dawn are Tiggy’s spawn.  If Tig had a son, he would name him John.

Jax tells Ally to let Sheriff Roosevelt know that he, Tig, and Chibs would turn themselves in that evening at the club house and he would double her retainer to work on the Otto angle, proving Otto’s statements about Bobby were wrong so that she could get the RICO charges dropped.

Roosevelt comes to Clay & Gemma’s to file a report about the break-in, and asks again about this being retaliation for a slight against Pope or the Niners.  Clay and Gemma claim ignorance, and Clay asks the sheriff to find his safe, which was taken by the thieves and had some cash in it, but mostly important documents, like birth certificates.

Back at Diosa, Jax tells Tara, “I gotta fix this.”  Unfortunately for the viewing public, Jax is not referring to his hair.

 

Chibs comes over to report that they finally have the address where Dawn is staying, and it’s only 40 minutes from Diosa.  Tara wants Jax to stay put, and off the radar, but she recants when she remembers the “bros before hos” thing.  Jax thanks Tara for being such a supportive old lady, and asks her to marry him that day, at the brothel, with no fanfare, no party, no cake, just the two of them.  Tara is hesitant at first, but then realizes …

… saddled with two sons and a gimpy arm, he’s probably the best I’m gonna get.  Let’s do this!

Back in Charming, Unser visits Sheriff Roosevelt to find out if there any other details available about the investigation into the string of break-ins.  Unser lets him know that he doesn’t believe this was “black retaliation”,

It felt more white to me.

Unser really said that.  He does explain by letting Roosevelt know that getting punched by these unidentified creeps felt like it was obligatory, not a rage-fueled revenge punishment which is what a beating from the Niners or Pope’s men should have felt like.  He tells Roosevelt he’ll be conducting his own personal investigation because he doesn’t believe it’s a revenge thing, and Unser hopes he and Roosevelt can share information.

    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.
