This was a horrible episode.
Not as in horribly done, it was one of the best this season, but the events were horrible.
The good parts were few:
Jax standing up for Alvarez. He had every right to get revenge against LeRoy for that.
Roosevelt Apologizing. It was nice to see him not only man up and apologize, which was really hard but he is also starting to come around a little bit, and show he's human, and may even help SAMCRO at some point, as he offered. He'll never go as fa off track for the sons as Unser did, but i wouldn't be surprised to see him help a little in the near future.
The bad parts were many:
The Tara Kidnap (Obviously). This was traumatizing for her, obviously. She knew what she was getting into when she got with Jax, he even warned her, but I still feel for her. She's a target and doesn't know why. You can tell the stuff she was saying in the hospital bed is just rationalization, she's trying to convince herself of the bright side. Her dreams were crushed, and she gave up her life for the club. I felt really bad for Jax this episode too.
This will either break her and Jax up, or strengthen them like never before. I'm pretty sure this is the beginning of the end for them though.
The Beef with the niners - Nothing really big but its the last thing they need right now.
The "lobos" getting blamed for the attack on Tara will only bring one more enemy to the sons, once they retaliate. Clay sure knows how to stir up shit.
Gemma getting beat. I have to admit, i had a tough time watching that. I really like Gemma and don't like seeing any woman get beat, especially her. It was hard to watch. The fallout from this is going to be bad.
I don't know ... who Clay's hitting, except for you. I'm sure he's hitting you, cause you're his wife and all.
