If you saw what I saw in this action packed episode you’re dying to know what will happen to the Teller-Morrow clan next. Beyond that it got me thinking about the things we don’t know. The things left unanswered since the very first season. Things like why did Jimmy O. do that to Chibs face? Why is Jimmy O holding Chibs family virtually hostage? More importantly why did the MC allow it? Think about it there’s more. Why was John Teller really get knocked off and by who Gemma or Clay? What drove Teller into the arms of Molly Ashby? I bet that’s an interesting story.
Coming into the third season I wonder why Opie is still wearing that stupid hat. What is it like his childhood blanket? I wondered why typically smart men would leave Salazar X-bullshit MC boy alive. The scene in the park men’s room was all too real. Just like the vendetta Salazar will surely want to implement. All these questions ultimately deserve answers that we can only hope will be forth coming.
Jax is busy dipping his wick in order to push Tara away not very original but seemingly affective. The club prepares to leave for Ireland finding Opie and Jax with questions of the heart. Later Clay, Jax and Tig go to say their final good-bye to Gemma before she’s driven off to the county clink. Of course her volunteer escort is Sheriff Unser who for the moment seems to have truly separated him self from the MC. Ah, but grandma Gemma has plans of her own. Promising to keep Tara’s secret about the next baby Teller. She enlists Tara's help with her escape plan. The two women pull it off and Tara bids Gemma a heartfelt good-bye. She more than willing lies to the cops. Thanks to her uptight straight ass hospital administrator who returns the slug to the face from seasons past making Tara's story far more believable. She was right of course no one would have believed that she hadn't helped Gemma unless she had knocked her out with a crushing blow.more willingly Tara's payoff was receiving Gemma’s silence. Are you buying that? Gemma keep a secret that she does not believe is secret worthy, who are they kidding there?
It appears that under duress the two women are good together and their plan goes off without a hitch startling Clay, Jax and Tig who are shocked to see Gemma exiting the building. With everyone searching for her inside it is Unser that finds her outside drawing his gun in a sheriffy way. I saw a plot twist in the making. Tig too has gun in hand ready to defend his family. Ah but Gemma stole the moment and ended her relationship with the fatherly Sheriff. Walking directly towards him standing in front of him defiantly while his gun pointed at her chest undaunted she asks “what are you going to do shoot me Wayne?” Then without a flinch walks past him getting into the getaway truck. It was a telling moment for both sides everyone suddenly realizing what side they are actually on.
With the cops on the way the chase commences and Tig driving the decoy vehicle heads for Modesto while the club with Gemma securely in tow, fly off to Ireland. From what we’ve learned about the Irish MC it is disloyal from the top down. Both Magee the president and O’Neil are on Jimmy’s payroll. They offer up Clay’s travel plans showing us where their loyalty actually lays. Naturally this led me to more questions. Why would the Irish MC jump in the sack with Jimmy O? Why turn their back on their club and their brotherhood? Does Magee know he plays second fiddle to the dead John Teller in Molly’s heart? Does he know that Molly's daughter Trinny is John Tellers daughter and Jax half sister? We saw earlier that Gemma had no idea.
This episode left me with more questions than answers. There are certainly many directions in which the plot can twist and turn and like millions of other Americans I will be glued to the next episode waiting for them to be reveled. It’s true the hour goes by much too fast leaving all of us wanting more which says the writing and acting have not faltered. I applaud cast and crew it is interesting television especially in this lack luster season of copycat duplicates. I can’t wait for Tuesday night. I give this five shots out of six mostly because I had to look at that stupid hat if only for a moment!
