At Piney’s memorial, Jax walks up to Opie to thank him for having the service, so they could all get closure.  Opie reminds Jax that the matter is not closed, and he’s still not thrilled with Jax, not to mention Clay.

All this grief is giving me a bad hair day.  Dude,  you haven’t had good hair since Remember the Titans.

Gemma returns home to find Clay picking up the rest of his stuff with Unser and a few of the SoA guys, since they figured Gemma would be at Piney’s memorial.

I forgot about Piney’s shindig.  Oh well, just another bad decision to blame on Nero and his dick.

Gemma goes into the bedroom to check on Clay, who asks for a ring Rusty gave him.  Gemma finds the ring and listens as Clay, with stooped shoulders and an oxygen tank, apologizes without apologizing for everything he’s done.  She almost falls for it too, but pushes Clay down when he attempts to console her.

Grow some huevos, cabron!  My new guy isn’t this pathetic.  Good luck giving yourself those arthritis shots!

Jax meets with the undercover CIA agents (and may I say this is my favorite Danny Trejo role evah!) and brings them up to speed with the problems with the Niners and the Irish.  Jax and Danny Trejo both put their dicks out on the table, decide that the relationship is still mutually beneficial, and Trejo releases Bobby Elvis to Jax in exchange for the promise that Jax will not tell SAMCRO about his promises to the feds, nor out Trejo’s CIA affiliation to the street gangs.  Bobby is just happy to be out and is scared to ask why he’s now free.

Bobby obviously enjoyed prison food.

While Jax is picking up Bobby, Sheriff Roosevelt is happily passing some time harassing the SoA boys at the clubhouse, asking about the two recent home invasions in Charming, the victims of which were both friends of SAMCRO.  Roosevelt wants to know if the crimes were retaliations from Pope’s guys or Niners in response to the Veronica Pope killing.  The guys claim ignorance, but Roosevelt warns the guys to put on a lid on their shit because if their wars spill over into Charming itself, he will make “Pope look like an altar boy”. 

Happy is not impressed, but he doesn’t strike me as a regular churchgoer.  Now, if Sheriff Roosevelt promised to outlaw BJ’s, Happy might feel a little threatened.

Roosevelt’s threats are interrupted by Bobby’s triumphant return, but not before the Sheriff has a quick side conversation with Juice, exchanging a request for insider information if the war will hit Charming in trade for keeping quiet about Juice ratting out the club during the RICO sting.

    The peg leg close up was actually Greg the Peg, the Nomad member they just voted in.

    So happy you are recapping SOA especially since I missed the first half hour watching Dance Moms. Pretty sure Abby and the moms could kick SAMCRO’s asses in a fight.

    At the end with the home invasion it’s implied that the nomads are responsible. The peg leg was one of the nomads that was inducted into the club earlier. Very interesting twist mr. Sutter. So glad as well someone is recapping this show as I love it so very much. The scene with Tig broke my heart and he said in interviews it was difficult to shoot and it weighed heavy on him.

    Isn’t the middle-age chola Jimmy Smits wife in real life?

    @poochie, you’re right! She’s Jimmy Smits’ old lady. Awkward! Thanks, @Nikki … I knew I was missing something. Guess that’s why Greg is “The Peg”.

    Great recap. I’m so excited this show is finally being recapped on this site. I only wish you could recap the earlier seasons, so much great stuff happened. I’m looking forward to spending the season with you VA

    I still love this show even after I realized it is just a soap opera about a motorcycle gang. Didn’t like the baby kidnapping and off to Ireland. I must say Katey Segal looks fantastic. Bummed I can’t read the recaps as I need to catch up on season 4.

    Great recap, so happy it is being recapped this season. And it is being done with someone who likes the show but knows the perfect times to add some snark. The title of this recap is great, and it was what I was totally saying out loud while watching, that and a bit of ‘what the f***’.

    Is Jimmy Smit’s part of a gang? Or is he just a pimp?

    I really like how this show is actually filmed in California. It is supposed to be in the central valley, I think towards Chico somewhere. It actually has the feel and look of CA, the dry hills, etc. Aren’t the Niners from Oakland? I know those scenes are probably filmed in Long Beach, but they really do look like Oakland.

    What…huh….what….Holy shitballs is right!

    I am so glad this show is being recapped here and I am even more glad to see it back. Every episode stresses me out so much and I’m not even living it, I can’t imagine keeping track of all of those deals and double deals and death threats and family crap in real time in real life. I’m exhausted just watching it.

    Loving Jimmy Smits, he is my secret crush. And my personal favorite scene was Tara turning off the baby monitor while she smoked weed – yeah Tara, Gemma is totally unfit to care for your kids.

    Tig’s daughter’s death, especially knowing how much of a sucker he was for her her whole life, was breathtakingly gruesome and heartrending.

    Yay! They’re baaaaaack!

    And as horrifying and gruesome as Dawn’s murder was, it wasn’t even the most horrible murder we’ve seen on this show. The most heart-rending, but not the most horrible.

    I am trying to determine what is really up with Tara. She is obviously very bitter about her hand and what her association with SAMCRO has cost her personally. She loves Jax but… she’s very bitter. She’s become much harder and more cynical. She’s smoking weed and ignoring her baby’s cries and has to keep a gun on hand at all times for protection (with a toddler at hand no less, how do you manage that, getting high with a gun by your side and a toddler in the house? That can’t be good.). Is this a phase she is passing through and she’ll come out okay – well, relatively – and be more like the old Tara again? Is she becoming Gemma 2.0 but with perhaps less maternal instincts (turning off the baby monitor to get high doesn’t seem like something Gemma would have done and Gemma was pretty hostile to Abel’s drug using mother first season, but we’ll never know what younger Gemma really did as a mom I guess. She’s awfully defensive, perhaps she failed in some ways and is making up for it by being super grandma now, who knows?) Or has Tara just been broken? I love her storyline so far, the progression. And I’m glad she was injured and has a baby now, it completely transforms her identity in ways she may not have wanted it transformed and throws her into turmoil. I want to know which Tara comes out on the other side.

    I think we will see Tara going closer to the dark side for much of this season.
