I see you, Gemma, he said.
Jimmy Smits delivery was disarmingly sincere.
Gemma and Nero then took Carlas ashes to the cemetery.
Gemma: Well, heres Carla.
Damn, it all comes down to this, huh?
Gemma: Come in cryin, go out in Tupperware.
Nero: [Chuckles] You make me laugh, Gemma.
Gemma never did that as a kid?
No, Im not Tig… Nevermind, she said.
The way she kicked in the door made me wonder what shehadbroken into during her youth.
They sat down inside, for a second.
Alright, this ss creepin me out.
Can we dump little sister, yo?
Nero put Carlas ashes in the vase along with the new flowers.
yo dont let that ever be me, he said.
They walked out holding hands.
It was oddly romantic.
Later, Gemma went to see Jax and Tara to return their house key.
She likes Nero, she said.
She hasnt felt light in a long time.
If she goes back to Clay, she cant do both.
She needed Tara to tell her that Jaxs deal is real.
(And yes, Gemma did nearly kill Taras boys.)
Jax asked Gemma if she was good, and she admitted she wasnt.
Im glad shes not pretending, for Jaxs sake, that what hes asking her to do is okay.
Nero asked what was going on.
They kissed, like he knew itd be a while before he saw her again.
Im here, he said.
Gemma didnt go home she went to Clays.
She showed up with shots for his hands after the long ride well be discussing next.
He put down the gun he was holding when she came in symbolic of him putting down his guard.
My hands missed you, he said.
The hands that used to touch her, the hands that beat her.
Jax took Frankies fate to the club.
So Jax said once they find Frankie, hed insist on pulling the trigger himself.
He and Bobby would splinter off to do it and take Frankie somewhere where Eli could intercept him.
Bobby thought that was a lot of moves; we knew Clay would never let them happen.
Clay had payed for his own private intel and got a call that Frankie was in a cabin.
But Clay told Juice theyd check it out first to check that the tip was accurate.
Reluctantly, Juice agreed.
At the poker club, a fight broke out almost immediately between SAMCRO and Pirellis crew.
Somebody sneezes, you throw a fist?
How do you get any business done?
Frankie shot and killed him.
Juice and Clay showed up just as Frankie was fleeing.
Juice fired some shots, and Clay sent the van careening into the cabin.
Frankie told Juice the truth about Clays involvement in the home invasions.
Then Clay came in with a shotgun.
Pirelli told Jax if SAMCRO covers the damage to the club and cabin, theyd call it even.
Only problem: They dont have Frankie to make the case against Clay or trade with Eli.
They need evidence (which is why Gemma is now key).
Clay found Bobby in the clubhouse and asked him if there was anything he should know.
Bobby asked him the same question.
Im not sure why Bobby brought up Clay setting the nomads in motion.
Maybe he figured Clay wasnt dumb enough to think Jax would let this go.
Bobby: I really hope youre as smart as you think you are.
I am tired of burnin friends.
Clay: Me too.
But Jax told him he already knew who it was.
There was only one person who made sense, the guy who tried to hang himself.
Eli tried to tell Jax that Juice had no choice, but Jax said we always have a choice.
So what happens to him now?
He just reloaded the gun that Eli had emptied for him at the start of their meeting.
How many of us yelled, Nooooo!
Cut to Gemma showing up at Clays house with those shots and Juice excusing himself.
He rode away from Clays with Jax tailing him in the SUV.
Will Jax kill Juice?
I dont think so.
We feel protective of fragile Juice.
NEXT: Tara and Otto dowhat?
Because the officials didnt know she was his wife.
So Tara had to make another trip to Stockton now.
Good thing the primary physicians there all came down with the flu and requested her.
How about that worried look on Taras face after Jax kissed her and walked away foreboding.
She brought him the perfume he used to insist Luann wear to remind him of what he loves.
Tara told Otto she knows why he wants to die, and its not just because of losing Luann.
Its also because of the guilt he feels turning on the club.
Otto: You a shrink now, too?
Im an old lady.
Just like Luann would have done for you.
Otto asked her to put some of the perfume on her wrist and to bring her wrist closer.
Is he gonna bite her, I wondered.
She pulled away when someone finally came in to take his blood.
Afterward, Tara told him to recant his statement to kill the RICO case.
Otto asked her to unhook his right hand.
He promised he wouldnt hurt her.
Oh god, hes going to masturbate, I thought.
Then he put his hand down his pants.
Tara objected, but far more calmly than I would have.
I just want to feel a womans hand on me, one more time.
She let him continue.
He started to cry, and she gently ran her hand through his hair to comfort him.
(He had to go meet Eli with Frankies body and stalk Juice.)
Hold that thought, he said softly.
Im here, she answered.
She dabbed on some of Luanns perfume, smelled it, and then slid her hand down her pants.
How did you read that scene?
What are your theories for how things will play out with Juice and Jax?
How should we interpret Taras alone time?
A little milk on the side.
Comin right up, Jax said.
Man, this is a good season for Charlie Hunnam.
