until Gemma twists an emotional knife and offers her a shoulder to cry on about their miserable lives as SoA president old ladies (somehow, I can’t picture Laura Bush and Michelle Obama having this conversation in January 2009).  She brings the win home by offering Tara the wedding rings from her marriage to J.T., since Jax & Tara obviously didn’t have time to get rings.

Point won by the lady with the scar!

The wedding itself is short and sweet, capped off by an Irish blessing by Chibs (or is he Scottish?).

Happily Never After

Romeo finally calls to meet with Jax, and at the meeting, Jax asks Romeo to get rid of the local charges as soon as possible and to use his connections inside make sure they have protection while they are in jail.  Romeo says he’ll do his best, and then, after Jax leaves, tells Luis that, if he can’t get them out from under the murder charges, the CIA may have to abandon the Sons to the Niners/Pope and come up with Plan B to catch the Irish with the guns.

Back at the clubhouse, Jax gives Bobby final instructions and says his goodbyes.  The guys all walk outside to meet Roosevelt and his arresting team, where Opie rides up on his steel horse to save the day.

There’s more than one way to save the day.

By assaulting Roosevelt and a couple of other deputies, Ope ensures that he’ll be inside at county with Jax and offer 6-plus feet of protection to his president. 

Finally, we see the Nomads, Frankie, Go-Go, and Greg the Peg, driving up in an alley.  Frank is going through some birth certificates/wedding licenses, while the other two dump Clay’s safe in a dumpster.  I guess the official paperwork is the point of them breaking into Gemma and Clay’s house, but to what end?  Hopefully we won’t have to find out in 30-second increments over the next 12 episodes.  Any theories, Gasmii? 

We close out with Gemma visiting Nero for some “comfort.”  I don’t think this is going to end with another Diosa wedding, but we’ll see.

See you next week!  Love to see my SoA homies in orange!  Here’s hoping there’s a lice outbreak in the jail so they have to shave Jax’s and Opie’s heads.  Thanks for all your comments, and remember to correct my shoddy memory and questionable powers of observation so all the new SoA fans can get correct info.  Have a great week!

    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.
