Jax asks Clay to stay alone …
O! How the mighty have fallen!
Jax questions Clay’s motive and wants to know what his real intentions are. Clay turns the tables on him and asks Jax why he hasn’t killed him yet in retaliation for J.T.’s murder. Since Jax isn’t telling him about the ultimate plan to leave the club behind forever, they both wallow in the “it’s best for the club” reason to lie, murder, etc.
Outside, Gemma confronts Jax about the kids attending daycare at the hospital instead of spending time with her. Jax says he and Tara made the decision together, but she explains to him how their family, being so high-minded and all, doesn’t let “other people raise our children”.
Unless they’re prospects and we can order them to watch the precious darlings while we go beat someone’s ass or get drunk.
She sees Clay and tells Jax she doesn’t understand why he’s still walking around, all alive and such, and Jax lets her know he’s biding his time. Nero calls to check in on her and she’s happy to hear from him.
Back at the railyard, Art tells Darnell and his posse to lay their guns on the hood of a car in preparation for the Jax Teller meeting that Mr. Pope was supposed to have with Jax. Before Jax rides up with some SAMCRO for the meet, Art gives Darnell a handgun and tells him that Mr. Pope wants him to prove his worth by killing Jax. As Jax approaches, and is leery that both Pope and Leroy aren’t there, Art asks the guys to lay out their guns and all the Niners lift the front of their shirts to show they’ve laid out their weapons on the hood too.
Maybe they’ll be so blinded by my abs that they’ll forget to ask me to turn around.
Assured of his safety, and Darnell’s authority to deal as decreed by Art, Jax approaches Darnell who quickly draws on him and pulls the trigger a few times. Empty clicks … Jax beats the shit out of him. Art feigns ignorance of the hidden weapon, and promptly blows Darnell’s brains out. Before leaving, Art tells Jax that Pope will be in touch soon. Jax gets the message. Holy Shitballs Again!
Back at Clay’s, Juice has finished the unpacking and tells Clay he knows it took guts to admit to Piney’s murder and the guys won’t vote him out of the club. Tig walks in and, after Juice leaves, confronts Clay about lying and forcing Tig’s hand in the Veronica Pope murder. Clay mutters his “good for the club” bullshit, and Tig doesn’t buy it. He questions why Clay never told him while Tig sat by his side every day in the hospital for three weeks. Clay says he didn’t know how and says he’s sorry. Tig gets a call: his daughter, Dawn, has been picked up for DUI by an Oakland detective. If he comes up there and gets her himself, they’ll drop the charges. As Tig leaves with their relationship still up in the air, Clay looks at a picture of them together when they were younger.
Photoshop cannot cure ugly. And who decided a young Tig should look like Joaquin Phoenix?

The peg leg close up was actually Greg the Peg, the Nomad member they just voted in.
BTW, SO excited that this is being recappd!
OMG! I haven’t watched the season premiere, but I am soooooooooo glad someone at the ‘Gasm is recapping it. YAY AP!
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!
Great recap, love SOA! I have never missed an episode.
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.
