Nero throws in a little Spanish here and there, just to show us that he’s a real vato.  He tells Jax that a stint in Chino caused him to re-evaluate his life of crime and turn it into a life of managing crime.  When Jax asks Nero about seeing the big picture, Nero throws out the soon-to-be Hallmark card phrase, “Every picture’s pussy, ese.”  Awwww … just a romantico at heart, this one.  Nero pulls to a stop in front of a group home for disabled children, and Jax waits in the car. 

Back in Charming, Unser’s interviewing Wade at the club/shop, and Gemma calls him in to the office to find out what he’s doing.  Ally interrupts to ask Gemma to run Tara’s requested marriage license up to Oakland for her, since she has other commitments.  Gemma is none too happy about being left in the dark about her son’s wedding.

What does the mother of the groom wear to a secret wedding?  Brass knuckles!

Nero has a tender moment with a little mohawked guy walking toward him on leg braces and crutches.  It’s sweet and sad at the same time.

I know I’m not taking care of you and all, but here’s a rabbit.  Orale.

As Jax looks on at the Hispanic version of his own fatherhood, we see a close up of a Suburban, driven by some black guy who must be tailing them at Pope’s behest.  Back in the pickup, Nero and Jax discuss Lucius, Nero’s son, and his spina bifida.  Nero says spina bifida is caused by neglect (which may have been true in his case, but is NOT true of all babies born with spina bifida), since Nero wasn’t paying attention to his baby momma, who was using drugs while pregnant with Lucius. 

One more thing we have in common.  You ARE my brotha from anotha motha.

Nero picks up on their tail, and instead of dumping Jax out on a side street, like Jax suggests, Nero leads them on a car chase followed by a bad-ass game of chicken, which the Suburban loses, thereby solidifying his bond with Jax.

In the sexiest hospital in the world,

Paging Dr. Boner

Opie has come to visit Lyla on set and beg her to watch his kids, Ellie & Kenny, for about a month, while he takes care of some things.  She grudgingly accepts, since the kids love her and Opie sweetens the deal with $20,000 in cash.  I’m starting to think Father’s Day is not a real special time in central California.

Gemma shows up at DI with Jax’s marriage license and decides to have a “come to Jesus” meeting with her very soon-to-be daughter-in-law. Tara feels like she won the war, and she’s pretty much a sore winner,

Point won by the lady with the cast!

    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.
