This weeks episode was another turbulent trip along the bloodstained road that is the Sons of Anarchys final ride. The premiere showed us a more ruthless, less calculating side of Jax than what were accustomed to, and the events that unfolded only served to the further that, as he told Jury he no longer has a vision other than whats right in front of him and then proceeded to back that statement up with actions that will thrust them headfirst into more violence and carnage. Toil and Till wasnt a groundbreaking episode, but it was solid enough and served to move along the already established plot threads while leaving even more dangling and tugging at the house of cards that Jax is building around himself and the club. The fragile alliances he has worked so hard to build appear to be crumbling all around him, and hes as yet oblivious to it. When it does come crashing down, its not going to be pretty. One of the most interesting scenes from this episode was August Marks speech to Jax about controlling his emotions and not letting personal matters overtake business. When you read the subtext regarding having patience when seeking vengeance, one cant help but wonder if that was a veiled threat aimed at Jax (one he was too oblivious to grasp) that Marks knows Jax was behind Damon Popes death. Itll be very interesting to see how that relationship progresses, especially considering The SAMCRO president is testing the strength of that alliance with some of his moves. Were going to look at the five major talking points from this weeks episode and what their impact may be on the show going forward. The body count is piling up, and eventually the Sons are going to have to answer for their actions. But who will come to collect the debt?
