It seems so long ago since ATF Agent Kohn strolled into Charming, obsessed with Tara and willing to go to extreme lengths to ensure she be with him. Suitably creepy, Kohn provided the first season with an extra layer of building tension, as his misguided efforts to win Tara back managed to strike a rather realistic, uneasy chord. After an effectively suspenseful scene in which Kohn broke into Taras home and attempted to force himself on her, Tara shot him before calling Jax, who arrived suitably pissed. Rather than shut his mouth and await potential police arrival and medical attention, Kohn pushed their buttons, causing Jax to mercilessly kill him right then and there. Kohns death was the first hugely satisfying death on the show and helped to define Jaxs character and reshape the Jax/Tara relationship going forward. The fact that the two decided to have sex with one another despite the presence of his dead body in the room only helped to add a perverse sense of humor to it all that made the whole sequence one of the first seasons most memorable.
