Storyline

As Nero is arrested for the murder of the prostitute, the Real IRA bomb the clubhouse and the Kings offer Jax terms - Clay will handle distribution and SAMCRO must ensure all their buyers switch to him, without any kind of percentage or referral fee. When Jax balks, Galen tells him that unless he accepts, every club charter from Charming to San Bernardino will also be bombed. Later, Jax tells Gemma to let Clay know he should accept Galen's offer. When Unser offers to help Tara, she tells him that she's going to ask Jax for a divorce and file for full custody, with Wendy getting the boys if she goes to jail. Meanwhile, at a summit of all local charters, Jax announces that the entire Sons of Anarchy association is now out of guns, not just the SAMCRO charter. He also gets some unexpected news from Bobby.

An episode of SoA that doesn't completely suck
11 April 2015 | by venusboys3See all my reviews

As I binge through SoA this episode was a breath of fresh air. It's relatively free of the ponderous melodrama inflicting so much of the series and feels like it gives the characters a day off to actually ride their bikes and have some fun. They get to mix it up with some crooked cops and Jax has a double dose of good news at the biker meetup as he is supported by other chapters on his moves to separate from the IRA and Bobby comes back to the fold with new recruits. Things feel relatively 'normal' for once. Not that this show ever really established what 'normal' was but I feel that the series could have used a lot more 'lite' episodes like this one scattered throughout rather than trying to turn the Doom and Gloom dial to 11 on every episode... because when there is no baseline of what a good day is like it's hard to really appreciate the depths of pain when the bad days come along.

Anyway, good episode... comparatively.
