15. Tara's Faked Miscarriage

The two top ladies in Jax Teller's life never did get on well. In their very first on-screen scene together, Gemma looked down on Tara's dismissal of SAMCRO, forcibly revealing the MC tattoo the young doctor has hidden underneath her scrubs. Once Jax and Tara are an item again, the latter's battles with her beau's terrifying matriarch intensified.

It didn't take long for Tara to realise she wouldn't get past Gemma by being nice and reasonable – she had to beat her at her own game. But it wasn't until season six's “Sweet And Vaded” episode that Jax's missus finally did something as manipulative, conniving and downright messed up as Gemma's usual shtick. Namely, faking a miscarriage.

Actually, it was faking a pregnancy, and then pretending like she had a miscarriage thanks to a fight with Gemma she precipitated. Which is enough to get a restraining order taken out against Mama Teller, keeping her out of Jax and Tara's children's lives. “Dire circumstances require desperate measures,” sighs Tara, after being really kinda evil.
