As numerous shows conclude their fall/winter seasons, frequent television viewers have seen shocking conclusions, killings, drugs, cliffhangers and more. Sons of Anarchy saw it all. We left off with Jax on a mission to get his club out of the cartel business and convinced he had to kill his president, his step-father and mentor all in one. If that doesn’t make for a great finale, I don’t know what does.
The episode begins with the surprise of the season. The cartel, which we have seen kill, distribute cocaine, buy guns and participate in many other illegal activities, turned out to be undercover agents. Unlike other shows talked about on this blog, I don’t think viewers could have seen this coming. This changes everything. No more RICO. In addition, after Clay’s shooting, the Irish refuse to do business with Jax at the helm. The cartel refuses this solution. Since the Irish are the main target, they force Jax to stay in Charming and get another deal going. In order to do this, they need Clay. No killing and no exit from Charming for Jax.
The next scene that caught my eye was Jax and Tara with their baby boy. Jax needs to tell Tara that all plans are off. He tells her everything, including the situation with the undercover agents and that Clay. I first thought she wouldn’t believe him. Yes they are husband and wife, but after all she has gone through, I figured this would be enough. During their chat, Jax explains why he must stay.
“I can’t let it die,” Jax tells Tara explaining that without him, the Sons are no more. “It’s a part of me.”
Recalling last episode, during the scene of the season, we saw Jax and Gemma talking about the letters and the club. As you can see in my last Sons of Anarchy post, Gemma tells Jax, “It’s in you. It’s who you are…. “You take your seat at this table; where you belong.” Seems like the words were taken to heart.
Side Note: I love how the directors decided to play the song “House of the Rising Sun,” except subbing in house in Charming town. Great touch.
The season ends with Jax at the head of the table. No surprise Tara decides to stay in Charming with her new top hubby. The last scene shows Tara standing over her husband at the head of the table, just like the picture of Gemma and JT when he was president. Looks like there is a new queen B in town. Look out for a character transformation next season.
Great season Sons. We saw death, near suicide, drugs, guns, explosions, chases, some old characters, a RICO investigation, cartel and so much more. You surely did not disappoint.
