In last week's episode, Henry Lin vowed that if he found out the Sons of Anarchy were crossing him he would make sure the streets of Charming ran red with blood. One week later he lived up to his promise. It began with the grenade being tossed into the storefront window of the ice cream parlor, the makeshift clubhouse of SAMCRO. Miraculously no one was killed, but Sheriff Jerry is furious that their war has spilled over onto Main Street. That was bad enough, and something that would have been much more difficult to pull off with the Sons still headquartered at TM, but that was the only the first shot to be fired. Next Lin's men show up at Diosa with cases full of automatic weapons, and the phone call to Nero tips Collete off to what's about to go down. Nero, Jax and the guys arrive to find everyone at Diosa lying dead between the blood-splattered walls of the house of sin. This was an attack on SAMCRO's business, but it was intensely personal as well, and something that can be directly traced back to Gemma and her lie. So where do we go from here? Will the Sons retaliate and continue to escalate the cycle of violence until there's no one left, or does the truth come out about what really happened to Tara before any more blood is shed? We have so many questions going into next week, and counting the days until we get them answered is nearly as stressful as dodging bullets.
