Sons Of Anarchy: 10 Best Episodes

8. NS (Season 3, Episode 12)

Revenge is sweet, particularly when it's against hated characters like ATF Agent Stahl and Real IRA leader Jimmy O'Phelan.

For three seasons, fans had to watch Stahl lie and use every dirty trick in the book to try and bring SAMCRO down, while we found out that O'Phelan was the one who stole Chibs' wife, scarred his face and banished him from Ireland. Although it seemed like they would both get away with what they did, SAMCRO has shown time and time again that they never forget and will always get payback which we got to see in NS.

Both Opie and Chibs managed to gain revenge, with Opie blowing Stahl's brains out in the back of the car the same way Donna died and Chibs slashing O'Phelan's face before killing him. It's a brilliant episode because it gave the fans and the characters the revenge they'd been looking for. Both Chibs and Opie had gone through a lot at this point in the show, so watching Stahl beg for mercy and O'Phelan scream as Chibs exacted his own version of karma made this one of the show's finest and most rewarding episodes.
