We all send a big thank you to Dish Network for paying up so that SOA fans can enjoy the rest of the season. I also would like to send along my personal thank you to the writers and producers of the show for finally and hopefully forever striping Opie of that terrible hat. The man has a nice head of hair. I say let it hang down!
As we left off last week our boys are still in Ireland hunting baby Abel. They have discovered that priest Ashby has him squirreled away for safety’s sake. Naturally this isn’t sitting well with the family. The whole thing reeks as in smells bad and I think there’s more to this story. Jax reaches out to our favorite love to hate, gay agent Stahl for info on the revered priest. Unfortunately his hopes are dashed when he learns Ashby has managed to remain squeaky clean all these years. It appears there’s nothing in the win column there. He moves on requesting info on O’Neil the SOA, Belfast rat. O’Neil has made our boys suspicious since Jimmy handed the phone over to him a few episodes back. It seems strange to me that they continue to follow both he and McGee around the Irish countryside like a pack of blind mice.
As the Charming pack is separated from the Belfast bunch at a police blockade; everything should have become more suspect. I guess their American street smarts were dulled on the long plane ride over. Falling for that crap once but twice? Surprise! They make it through continuing to follow the weapons delivery to the army. It is there they hope to meet up with Jimmy O where they plan to get to the bottom of things. Jax appears to be the only member trying to keep his eye on the ball. Or in this case the wandering rat O’Neil. Juice and Happy are dispensed to keep an eye on him and fail miserably at the task.
It’s all hands on deck loading the weapons cache into the truck. When suddenly the barn doors are slammed shut by the army brats. Quickly they chain and padlock it before making a clean getaway on Jimmy’s instruction of course. The loaded truck has been secretly armed with explosives. It appears even our dodgy McGee doesn’t appear to know what’s about to happen next. With that said our boys quickly do the math realizing the truck is going to blow. What they don’t know is who is holding the detonator? It wasn’t a stretch or even a surprise that this prick wouldn’t mind blowing up his Irish brothers. When the fiery blast sub side’s although the concussion is still ringing in everyone’s ears the Redwood Originals are thankfully intact. However five of their Irish brothers including Chibs nephew did not fare so well.
Back in Belfast our other villain Jimmy O along with his dim witted henchman storm into Maureen Ashby’s house with guns drawn. The priests bodyguard left behind to protect Fiona and the girls is dispensed with quickly with a silenced bullet to the head. In a tricky turn of events well planed and equally well executed. Trinity working downstairs hears the commotion upstairs. She races up the back stairs gun in hand. She fires wildly at the henchman. This allows her quick thinking mom to stab Jimmy O while our girl Gemma retrieves his gun. There is a momentary standoff as the henchman points his gun at Gemma. However she wins the stalemate and Fiona takes position of his gun.
It’s easy to see that Gemma is bent on answers and then murder. This man has cost her, her grandson and in her mind he needs to die. Shock registers on her face when Fiona places the gun to her head. Remember Gemma once described her as the one woman that she was afraid of well now we know why. Fiona assures her that her actions are for her own good and just as I began to question her loyalty... She vividly explains to Jimmy O what will happen to him if he comes near her or her daughter ever again. Whether he believes that or not is entirely another matter. Moments later Gemma slugs Fiona who returns the favor quenching Gemma’s anger. Then Fiona quietly explains that Jimmy O has grown so enmeshed in the violence that whoever killed him their entire family would be hunted down and all of them would be wiped out.
At the end of another action packed day on the Emerald Isle Chibs has had enough solemnly vowing to kill Jimmy O. The club urges him to take the girls back to Charming but he refuses to remove his daughter from her homeland. We all know Jax can’t allow that to happen. He’s promised to ship him gift wrapped to agent Stahl. The plot just became a bit thicker. At three am we see Jax placing his arm around Trinity’s lovely shoulders. When out of the shadows steps momma Morrow the impact of the scene is not lost on her. It looks like the ladies better let the cat out of the bag before there are any more surprises.
Meanwhile back in Charming things aren’t much better. Tig and Piney quickly figure out the Mayan Intel is bogus in light of their chat with the X Nord Lord. Informing Sheriff Unser doesn’t yield them any joy but it does put a bee in his bonnet. Unser learns a bit more after talking to Oswald that some entity is buying up all the property around the gym. After a little digging, Unser gets his hands on the investors list and what do you want to bet that he finds Hail’s name there. Our favorite sheriff might just be feeling a little duped. Maybe the bad guys aren’t the one’s wearing leather after all.
Salazar much like the ever ready pain in the ass he has become will not fade away. He cleverly blackmails Hail into telling him where Jax ole lady works. It’s no surprise being the punk that he is Hail gives up Tara’s information. She is on her way to an abortion clinic in Modesto accompanied by her hospital supervisor. Her boss’s car is rear ended by Salazar and his well trained Akita of an old lady. Tara is clearly confused as questions about Jax are thrown out. Her boss is suspected of being an ole lady too. Salazar’s bitch checks for ink and finds some. I nearly fell off the couch. This tight ass biker hating straight laced bitch or so it seemed has a huge freaking back piece. You could have knocked me over with a feather. I never saw that coming. So maybe there is more to her disdain for all things SAMCRO than has yet to be revealed. Interesting!! We must wait until next week as we watch Salazar load the women back into the car speeding away.
As before I’m left with a number of questions bouncing around in my head but as is always the case I can’t wait for next week. You got it. This gets five out of six shots. Mostly for making our boys seem a lot more passive than we know they actually are.
