Last night’s episode much like the previous episodes flew by far too quickly leaving me begging for more. This is do to the fine acting and shows off the many talents of these dedicated writers. Unlike several season openers that began this week. After five minutes I was bored and changed the channel. As for my peeves which are becoming less and less I note only one. Clay Morrow’s top rocker is too low. There’s too large a gap from the top of his vest to the rocker. It looks funny please fix it! I was happy to see Opies face with that ridiculous Rastafarian cap off his handsome head. Now if he can only keep the damn thing off.
While the MC is trying to track down leads concerning Abel’s whereabouts they must contend with protecting Charming form the Mayan heroin traffickers. Calling in and on everyone. They are collecting Intel from the black MC, while buying guns from the Asians, as they simultaneously run down any and all information on Abel. Meanwhile they learn their bail may be revoked just before they plan to leave for Canada. It’s a damn mess no doubt.
However the real focus of this episode is "girls to the rescue". First Tara heads north coming to Gemma and Tigs rescue. Gemma has the Guatemalan caregiver tied up in the basement while Doc Tara tends to Tigs minor gunshot wound. All goes well til dear old Dad goes off the rails and missing. Tara’s kindness nearly gets her killed. Misguidedly and without Momma Gemmas permission I might add, she releases one of the caregiver’s hands to allow the blood to flow to return. Naturally the ungrateful bitch cracks her over the head with an oxygen bottle knocking Tara unconscious while she frees her self.
Out in the lovely garden Gemma and her Dad have a lucid and touching reunion when he finally returns home. However peace does not reign for long. Armed with a knife the angry “Guat” threatens Gemma’s life holding it to her throat demanding the car keys. “DA-Ta-Da”. Tara to the rescue! She rushes in cracking the woman with a large figurine allowing Gemma to get the upper hand. During the ensuing struggle for the knife the woman accidentally stabs herself and dies right there on Daddy’s floor. Tig enters the scene with the best line of the night. Looking at the dead woman and the girls faces he says something like “I can’t leave you girls alone for a moment”. It’s comical.
In the panic that follows it is decided to hire “A Cleaner” to dispose of the body. You gotta love this. The part is played by none other than the famous author of eeriness Stephen King. Who would have thought! While Gemma, Tara and Tig wait patiently for the disposal to be complete across the pond we learn a few more details.
Next its Opies squeeze Lila who comes to the clubs aid financially. She brings in her porn star friends to do a little slap and tickle with the Chinese. This is in order to get up the money they need to purchase the MP-5’s that the black MC needs to divert the heroin mules. It’s a great scene causing the jealous Opie to lose his mind when he witnesses first hand his ladies lips wrapped around someone else's egg roll. A good old fashioned fist fight breaks out resulting in Clay to offer up a piece of SAMCRO’s business in order to get the pissed off Asian to play ball.
The third and maybe the most telling scenes of last nights show has the two women across the pond trying to help the MC. Sweet Butt or Cherry, Half Sacks wannabe ole lady was shipped to Ireland by the club last season. She reappears working for, get this, the old squeeze of the now dead John Teller founder of the Son’s on both sides of the water. We knew from the previous episodes that the blond woman named Molly Teller’s X squeeze is the baby steeling Cameron’s cousin. After all he’d given her baby Abel to care for. We also knew that she is heavily involved with the murdering priest who seems to spend a lot of time in her kitchen.
We now learn that her Cousin Cameron’s body was left by the train depot with the sign of the cross carved into his forehead. What a nice touch. It must have heavy symbolism in the IRA movement over there but was lost on me. Anyway we also learn that the priest is going to take the baby to some family elsewhere in Ireland. None of which is making Molly very happy, not her dead cousin, and especially the baby not being returned. From the look on her face she’s not happy with any of it. Later she presses Cherry who is working for her now to get her Gemmas telephone number on the sly. This forces Cherry to call the now departed half Sack sadly learning of his fate and her loss. However Cherry is a true crow eater not to mention a real trouper and comes through. Sadly Grandma Gemma is on the run and her cellphone is not in her position.
This also gives us our first view of the Irish Son’s of Anarchy. When they find out about Cameron’s death they quickly forward the gruesome photo to the Redwood Originals. That one snapshot lets the MC know that their gun connection in the US the devious Jimmy O is a lying sack of shit. It leaves the MC to wondering why and what’s next? They pack up the Irish guns headed for the Oregon border and Gemma.
Yea, you guessed it this gets another six out of six shots. you're right I’m hooked!
