They go into the office and Clay tells Jax he knows about Otto and the RICO sting. He says he met with Romeo and that he and Luis will kill Jax if he gets SAMCRO to stop running drugs and guns for the cartel and the Irish. Clay wants him to hang on for awhile longer, just so that the CIA gets the evidence they need for the bigger players. By then, the legitimate businesses Jax is setting up (Diosa Norte, the Charming Heights automotive service contract, etc.) will be in full swing and able to make up for the money the charter will lose by abandoning the muling. Jax is getting angrier and angrier and as Clay calls him “son” for the second time in three minutes, Clay yells (he does that a lot this episode!) “Stop calling me son!”
It’s condescending and we’re not supposed to reveal that secret until the season finale.
Bobby knocks and comes in to tell Jax they need to leave. Jax thanks Clay for looking out for him but says he is “tired of being crushed under the weight of greedy men who believe in nothing” and he needs to change that. Man, is Jax a disillusioned WWE wrestler, or is this just another deep thoughts diary diatribe?
I have to go so I can join Occupy Charming.
As soon as Jax leaves the office, Clay calls Romeo to ask for one more day to convince Jax. Romeo allows it, a little too easily, and then when he hangs up, he tells Luis that Clay couldn’t change Jax’s mind, so Luis needs to make a phone call. Uh-oh!
Jax and Bobby ride off to meet with Lin and Nero walks out of the clubhouse, heading toward his truck. Gemma walks him there and tells him she can’t come see him later at Diosa. He’s a little confused and wants to make sure everything’s all right between them.
Did I do something wrong? ‘Cause we can go kill some people or knock over a liquor store if you need some more bonding time to be sure about me.
Gemma tells Nero she’s fine and kisses him good-bye. Clay walks out of the club just in time to see the affectionate gesture, and he and Nero spit nails at each other with their eyes as Nero drives away.
At St. Thomas, Tara meets with the doctor from Providence and tells her that she accepts the job offer
and she’s really excited about it
but she wants to keep it quiet so she can work on getting Jax on board with the move. Sneaky, sneaky …
Not a bad career move for an accessory to murder!

I think the actress who played the nurse is Donal Logue’s real life sister. So I guess, he is also portraying her brother here. And I’m a little confused about the whole documents situation. If these documents could prove, that Clay is Jax’s Dad – why would Gemma help Jax to find those documents? That wouldn’t help her building a better relationship with her son again.
To the Bobby-Clay situation: a lot of people are speculating that JT isn’t dead. Maybe the whole death situation was a setup to let JT walk away from the club without any harm and Bobby is one of the very few who know about this. Maybe he wants to protect Jax to kill Clay over something that never happend. Clay has done all kinds of wrong, but killing JT might not be one of those things.
I think Donal Logue’s character is related to the nurse that Otto killed..they both were listed with the same last name in the credits. Thanks for the recap..the show is so violent but your recaps make me laugh!
I wonder if Jax is going to try and save Tig from Pope ..can’t wait for this Tuesday!
I don’t think JT is alive, because I think Maureen over in Ireland would be aware of that. I can’t belive that if Clay was Jax’s father that they would have put it on the birth certificate so not sure what else that paperwork will prove. (beside the tie to the Nomads)
I agree with you, Violet, they wouldn’t be so stupid to put Clays name on those birth certificates if he was Jax’ real father.
I also think, the father-son storyline is a distraction from something else. There are hints since Season One, that Clay MIGHT be Jax’ biological father. But this season is really rubbing it in. So I think, it would to obvious to take that road. It is getting tiresome just like the whole paperwark storyline in general. Really? There is no other way to prove (or at least convince everyone) that Clay was behind the home invasions? Okay, it took a complete stranger to point it out to Jax that he should be looking inside the club. Is it just me or would an earlier seasons-Jax have been smarter and figured it out by himself?
But I’m not so sure about JT. If he isn’t dead and he was able to walk away from the club, maybe he wanted to cut off all the ties to it – even Maureen. Maybe that was even a requirement. I’m just grasping at straws here. This season is so confusing and I’m trying to put some sense into it – for my own inner peace.
If Jax is smart he will convince Clay to kill Pope (promising to step down as president or whatever …). This way he will have his revenge for Opie and, because of Pope’s own kind of life insurance, he would also get rid of Clay. And if he kills Clay in the aftermath of Popes death, Jax would also be rich…
There is a spoiler on the EW recap that says who Donal Logue’s character is in case you can’t wait.
I wonder what Jax is going to do about Tig, their exchange this week made my stomach turn… “Still love me Tiggy?” ACK! Can’t wait for next week.
I really hope that Clay isn’t Jax’s bio father, but there are too many context clues to ignore!
Can’t believe Gemma told Nero she lived him. I live their storyline and I hope K. Sutter keeps it going into next season.
Greenmonster – I agree with you. If John is still alive, he would probably have to cut ties with everyone, including Maureen. Maybe if she knew he was alive, it would put her in danger.
