Sons Of Anarchy 7.2 - 5 Talking Points From "Toil And Till"

1. The Betrayal Of Jury

Jury and the Indian Hills charter have always been the gentler cousins of the Redwood boys. They were patched over as a means of protection from the much-larger Mayans and since then have been somewhat indebted to their Charming brethren. The charter€™s president is a former Vietnam war buddy of Jax€™s father and has always been loyal to the Tellers. When Jax recruits Indian Hills to help with the hit on Lin€™s deal, Jury questions the motives of such a move, realizing that it€™s going to ignite a powder keg, which goes in direct contradiction to the earlier plans for the club that Jax laid out for everyone. You can almost see his spirit deflate when Jax tells him he no longer has a vision, but because he€™s loyal he goes along with the plan anyway. And it costs him the life of his son. They never come out and say that one of the two men the Sons killed to frame was actually Jury€™s son, but his visceral emotional reaction to his death, mixed with the dogtags the young man was wearing and the brilliant juxtaposition of the final scene are all the visual cues we needed to make that deduction. So what happens next? Is Jury still at the house when Lin€™s men arrive? And if so, does he come clean about what really happened, does the Triad kill him on sight, or does he pretend to be the point man sent by SAMCRO to meet with them, and instead make a ploy to exact revenge from the inside? The one thing that looks to be a sure thing is that this is yet another of the club€™s moves that€™s going to come back and bite them in the *ss, likely in a bad, bad way. What did you think of episode two? Sound off in the comments below.
