Once again I find the episode flying by as tempers flare and secrets spill out into the light. Again I’m happy to report that Opy has that stupid hat off a small detail yet it made me very happy. Our girl Gemma’s heart breaks and aches for her father who is vanishing before her very eyes suffering from late stage Alzheimer’s disease. The moment is poignant reminding us no matter who you are in the spectrum of life, tragedy happens. Beyond that I can only assume that the writers lost their minds for a moment when they wrote into the script that Gemma would call agent Stahl to turn herself in. Remember this is the Gemma that offed the caregiver and Sobel’s daughter. Other than Unser it is a real stretch to think that a woman like Gemma would ever make that decision. I call foul here.
With the info last received concerning little Abel Opy sells the panhead offering to pay for the mercenary tracker needed to find the wee one in Canada. It looks like Jax gut doesn’t trust the Irish and you get the sense he knows Jimmy O. is a liar. However he gives in to a certain logic which we believe is going to lead him on more of a wild goose chase. We also learn that the Son’s in Ireland can be bought and paid for even against one of their own. Dear Cherry reappears drowning her grief poised on the crotch of this traitor of an Irish SON. Our little crow eater however is not a dumb girl. When she innocently stumbles onto the cash hidden in this SAMCRO member’s vest it appears to make her more than a little suspicious. For me Cherry is the wild card in the mix here. Her loyalty is all about the club and this could play out in a lot of different ways.
Aw the Irish and the Catholic Church are rightfully taking a hit in this episode. Molly’s brother the priest defiantly has an agenda. We quickly learn he cares for nothing and no one but the cause feeling many involved may have strayed off course. It becomes painfully obvious that long ago he shamed his collar and his arrangement with his god trading it for his own sense of the greater good. Now poor baby Abel hangs in the balance as we see he’s been whisked off to what looks like a black market baby clearing house. Now the wayward priest wants Molly to call Gemma to tip her off as to the babies’ whereabouts. He apparently knows of her failed attempt all of this giving us pause. I can’t help but wonder does the naughty priest want to give the baby back? Is he holding Abel hostage in order to have SAMCRO take out the gangster Jimmy O in the name of the cause of course? Or is there yet another plot twist coming our way?
The crew passes off the guns at the Oregon border as planned while Clay and Jax go to retrieve Gemma. Happy, Bobby and Piney head out to locate an old friend and prescription drug dealer needed to help with mounting drug costs. Upon arrival they find a group of “pecker woods” trying to rip her off. In a scene right out of the gang that couldn’t shoot straight a gun battle ensues at very close range. No one hits anyone as they shoot the hell out of the little house. It was comical and magically there are no causalities. Just like LAPD the Son’s call for backup bringing the Oregon chapter and Clay on scene with Tigs and Jax in tow. Clearly surrounded the pecker heads give up. Piney gets his needed meds and a suggestive kiss from the lady drug dealer to an orchestra of cat calls from his brothers. Bobby gets the much needed inhalers for his son and Happy gets the pain meds he needs to ease the pain for his dying Mom. The pecker woods learn the unity of SAMCRO and head for higher ground.
Meanwhile Gemma on the lam once again running leaving our frustrated wannabe ole lady Tara in the lurch. Quickly they realize that Gemma is headed back to where else but Charming to see her Grandson one last time. The club races back in hot pursuit. Gemma fly's threw Jax house not finding baby Abel anywhere. She then heads for the clubhouse where once again she finds no bay and no answers. Just as she’s ready to bolt once more her cellphone rings. It is only then that she learns of her grandson’s whereabouts. The club pulls into the lot only to witness Gemma’s collapse from the shock, grief and the loss. End episode.
Yes I still wanted more. No they didn’t fix Clay’s top rocker. Yes I liked the episode but… Gemma turning her self in I think not. Unless it was meant to save someone in her family I call bullshit. Also since our boys can’t hit shit. I think a firearms training course is in order. If you can’t hit your target then a gun is not much better than a rock. I give this episode four out of five shots.
