Already on the ragged edge, barely accepted back into the club after ratting them out in previous seasons, and previously suicidal on two separate occasions, Juan Carlos Juice Ortiz must be close to the biggest nervous breakdown California has ever seen. Seriously, if hes anywhere near the San Andreas Fault when he goes off he could take the entire state into the sea with him. Desperate to curry favour with the club after his betrayal, Juice was instrumental in helping to take down his surrogate father Clay for Jackson, as well as directly responsible for the murder of Darvany Jennings, the junkie mother of one of the high school kids who murdered his classmates with one of the Sons' KG-9s. The fact that he did all this on his boss orders didnt make it easier for him though, and he spilled the beans to Nero that Jennings accidental overdose wasnt as accidental as all that. Nero mentioned Juice confession to Jax, and that sealed it: as far as the SAMCRO president was concerned, that was yet another betrayal. The season six finale saw him go to Jacksons home (presumably to dig himself out of yet another hole) only to witness sheriff Eli Roosevelt witnessing the bloody aftermath of the Tara Knowles-Teller murder. Murdering the sheriff, cleaning up the crime scene and disposing of the evidence to protect Gemma, Juice is now in no mans land: unable to return to the MC for fear of Jacksons retribution, and unable to tell anyone the truth of what occurred in that kitchen. According to the trailers, the beginning of season seven sees Ortiz on the run and in hiding, convinced that Jax will kill him and warned by Gemma to keep what he knows to himself. One thing's for sure Juice isn't getting out of this in one piece. However, he may go out with a bang: scuttlebutt (like gossip with its freak on) says that there are some smokin hot scenes featuring our Juice in the premiere episode that will make a lot of straight female and gay fans very, very happy.
