Sons Of Anarchy: 20 Most WTF Moments
7. Pope Sets Tig's Daughter On Fire In Front Of Him
Tig is not a nice guy. Out of all the members of SAMCRO who do terrible things (which is to say, all of them), Tig seemed to do more than others; and he did it with a terrifying relish. Still, even he didn't deserve the nightmarish fate he's cursed with in the season five opener “Sovereign”, which introduced new bad guy, Oakland mob boss Damon Pope.
Pope had never been seen on-screen before, but he and Tig's paths had crossed before – when the SAMCRO member accidentally ran down his daughter. By Pope's logic, it's only fair he then murders Tig's daughter. To kick it up a notch, however, he does so by setting the poor girl on fire, and by forcing Tig to watch the whole thing happen in front of him.
Safe to say nobody saw that coming. Not only is it a truly cold-blooded way to kill somebody, and incredibly despicable to make Tig watch, but it's the way the show depicted it that was really insane: the camera stays on Donna, the burn victim in question, as she flails around until she finally, tragically dies. So, so upsetting.
