After seasons of backstabbing, secret deals, intrigue and more drive-bys than you can point a gun sideways at, the tentative peace is off. From all reports, the Chinese, the Byz-Lats and the Mayans have got the knives out. Jacksons always tried to steer the club clear of this kind of conflict in the past. Whether struggling to keep his family safe or scheming to get the Sons Of Anarchy clear of the illegal arms trade, the young MC boss has kept his dancing feet firmly out of the way of all-out gang warfare, pirouetting past beefs with uber-gangster Damon Pope, the IRA, and every rattlesnake-mean criminal with a Glock and an attitude in northern California. That all seems to be over now. Jacksons going to war, and all bets are off. If the only thing he has left to protect is the club itself, hes going to turn it into an army: and woe betide anyone that gets in SAMCROs way. Theres going to be blood on the streets, and Byz-Lats head honcho Nero, Jacksons friend and father figure (now that Clay is out of the picture), is going to be in the thick of things. Already on the outs with SAMCRO thanks to Juice confession of Jax orders to kill the Jennings woman something Jackson lied to him about Nero is also Gemmas lover, committed to his relationship with Jacksons volatile mother a mother who killed Jacksons wife and widowed him. Yeah, thats not complex at all. Jerry Springer would have a field day. But at this rate, Neros going to be the third paternal role model that Jax loses courtesy of his mother.
