Starting this episode knowing that we get 90 minutes of this amazing show is great! Waiting a week for the extra half hour is worth it. We left off last week with the Sons leaving for Belfast. We see the Belfast charter helping Jimmy O, and we have to wonder where everyone’s loyalties lie.

Start out with a beautiful view over Belfast. Sons look just like they are at home on their bikes out in Ireland. We see Trinity and her mother. We finally see Abel after thinking that he had been sold. They have a lot of history with both clubs.

Tig being in jail just cracks me up “Speeding is true but the rest is hear say”. The fact that Tara bailed him out was just kind of goofy. I don’t really get her at the moment. Tig just cracks me up this whole season so far.

The fact that within a split second the cops had the information about the Sons had to be Jimmy trying to get them out of Ireland. He had planned this from the start. Gemma is just showing the fact that she needed to be here. If the Belfast charter

There is an awesome Irish version of the SOA theme song. It gave me chills! Just seeing this start out was incredible. This is just getting us ready for 90 minutes of hell in Belfast!

The Sons questioning the police men was just insane. Happy is showing that he is really a part of the Charming charter. This is going to be a great show.

Finally finding out about Tig and Kozik was awesome. The fact that it was a woman that is causing this issue with them is just stupid.

Seeing the Sons ride into Belfast, right by Maureen was great. Both of John Teller’s women finally meeting was intense. The way Maureen was holding back tears was crazy, and then Gemma holding back the feelings about Trinity was great.

Jimmy is getting irritated because he is losing his rank. He has no chance of holding his position in Belfast with the Sons there.

Everyone being at the club house is great. Both Tara and Lyla being pregnant and right around the same time is just really cool. I love this. Lyla and her actually getting along and having something in common will save them and their children.

Darby not really turning over a new leaf doesn’t surprise me at all. The fact that Hale is trying to sabotage Charming is wrong. I honestly believe that the wrong Hale died in the first episode…At least the Deputy Chief wanted to save Charming by shutting Darby down…Rather than giving him start up money.

Meeting at the table in Belfast was pretty cool. They aren’t the red wood originals but it doesn’t matter what charter you are in that table is part of a way of life.

Chibb’s finally getting to see is daughter and his wife after so long was incredible. The emotion that Kurt Sutter is able to pull out of you in just one scene is great.

Fiona is trying to stay with her husband which is great. She is finally showing how much she really does love Chibb’s. Also in the second season

Maureen and Gemma alone feels almost as tense as Tig and Kozik. Maureen is the balancing force while Gemma is the fight in the relationship.

The half siblings alone in a room talking like friends is just worrying me. We really don’t need them to find out after they do something stupid together.

The fact that there has been two drive bys this season is insane. Everyone in charming and everywhere else in the world wants them gone. It will not end that way though. I believe that with everything that they are going through this season they will be able to turn charming back to the way that it was in the first season when everyone trusted the Sons.

Tara being back in the office is great. Miss Red is honestly just trying to help Tara as much as she can. I knew that she was going to take it as it was Tara.

I guess the parties are the same no matter what charter you are in. The fact that Jax is fighting a SGT at Arms is awesome. I love this. He is showing that he isn’t one to be toyed with. The fact that he won was great.

The new prospect trying to be strong is funny. I knew that he wouldn’t be able to protect Stumpy. The fact that the ex Calaveras president came in and blamed the Mayan’s is going to put a strain on the new relationship between the sons, and the Mayans.

Lyla I think is what is pushing Tara to have hers done. Tara will now have killed two babies. I think that Tara should have listened to Gemma when she told her to wait until she looked into Abel’s eyes and seen what a baby can be in her life.

The boys just sitting and playing cards was great. They are trying to keep themselves at ease while dealing with a major problem. They seem to be happier now that they are closer together. Bobby is trying to be the saving force for Gemma’s sanity. They all love her and they know that she is who keeps the club together.

Finally the priest shows his face in this episode is great. The priest is going to get Jax and the Charming Sons to try and take out Jimmy O. “You kill Jimmy O’Phelan and I promise that Abel goes home in the arms of his loving family”….and then we see Abel being picked up by another family…

With only 5 episodes left I wonder how much more action that they can pack into this season! I cannot wait to see the creativity come out in this next episode. This episode leaves you with a pit in your stomach. This is intense and this will not slow down.

Let me know what you think! leave your two cents below!
