Drama and action never ceases to amaze me every Tuesday night with the Sons. This week is no different. Many different secrets are coming into the light as well as just plain fun. Throughout the episode you see some connections growing stronger while others are growing tenser.

This week’s episode starts out with Gemma and Clay in the hospital. Part of me, and anyone that I have talked to; still do not understand why she would turn herself into Stahl after everything that she has put the club through. She and Clay seem to be the only functioning relationship this season. The fact that Gemma is still trying to be the fierce mother/grandmother really comes out within any scene with her in it.

Jax has this great way of connecting with everyone. He is the lovable and great guy, who loves his family, and loves his club. When they meet in the church at the hospital it feels just like the way that it does when they are in the club house. Meeting that way is like their own form of religion. The way that the secrets are coming out now is almost too much. Everything that is conspiring against the club keeps getting worse.

I wonder why the Irish are continuing to lie; I believe that it is to have Jimmy O killed. I love the visual that Jax is able to give with just a few words about Chibs slicing Jimmy from ear to ear.

Unser turning the other cheek is done… I really do wonder how that is going to play out. Hale used to always say that the Sons are his buddies and that they come over actually being a police officer.

Tig is turning out to be the comic relief of this season. He has this amazing style and ease in his part. He seems to want to do anything for the club. When he and Chuck break into the Mayans/ Calaveras crew store room, it was intense and incredible. This seems to be a real club in this episode with working together and Tig just being himself using a fork lift to get Chuck out of trouble.

Honestly Stahl is the worst woman in the world. She is the only person in the world that makes my skin crawl. I honestly do believe that she might want to help in a way as long as it benefits her. When she threatens to take away Gemma’s deal I could not believe it, especially since the fact that Gemma is a fugitive is her fault in the first place.

This is just a slap in the face. The fact that Juice had his cut taken is horrible as Jax said last season “Pull the trigger man, that’s the only way this cut is coming off of my back.” The cut is like a piece of them. The fact that Juice had his taken is like a part of him being lost. It isn’t enough that in last season he managed to get his rib cracked and got turned into a “Pin cushion” but now his cut was taken by an MC that Clay has already said was a “Bull S**t MC”.

I am still wondering about the relationship between Tara and Gemma. It has seemed to progress as the season. Gemma knows how to act beyond reason. The fact that Tara is pregnant just puts another kink in the mix. Jax has no idea where his first born is and now there is another problem with Tara being pregnant.

I think that Miss Red is trying to make amends for the damage and issues that she called last season by coddling Tara this season. I believe that if Tara ends up having this baby that everything is going to be even further messed up with work and with Jax. This season Jax wants to keep her at a distance because even though he loves her, his flesh and blood means more.

I think that Jax is just using the Irish as a ploy to try and get his club back in line as well as his family. He knows that if he does tell Stahl then she will have no excuse not to help him. The fact that he gave Stahl the Irish is because he needed payback against the Irish for stealing his son in the first place. This week’s episode left a lot more questions than it answered.
