Sons of Anarchy 4X4: Una Venta
🕑 Added 2025-01-17 20:00:07 +0000 UTCTruthfully, I don't know how I feel about the distinction between selling drugs, and running them. I could be persuaded either way. But, running them, it means that the drugs are setting up shop in Charming, so I suppose that's what Clay is thinking.
Anyway, we head to Arizona to meet up with the cartel. But when we get there and find the Tucson chapter, we find out that they are selling drugs out of the area where we are planning to keep the stolen guns for the night. SAMCRO is upset and Clay tries to forbid them from selling, but the Tucson president tells him he has no jurisdiction there.
However, we find out that it was a close vote to decide to sell drugs. And there were two members planning to vote 'no'. One died and the other stepped down. After looking into it, we find out that the VP and the Sargent at Arms, did this all of their own accord. And killed their own member when he found out. Then, blackmailed the other out. It's not a good look. But, they end up tossing out the two members responsible (I think). That said, after a new vote, they unanimously pass to sell drugs. The money is just too good.
I'm not really sure what Gemma is trying to do with the garden charity thing. Also, is the owner of this flower shop someone we know? I don't think so, but it also sort of feels like we should? Either way, Gemma donates some money in Tara's name (after she asks Tara and she says she can't be on anymore committees). If I understand correctly, and I definitely might not, somehow these donation oppose Charming Heights. I think? Plus, the whole time they were talking, Link was skulking around. Afterwards, he 'runs' into Gemma outside pretending to be on the zoning board, and gives her some info about eminent domain.
Piney goes to see Tara to try get her to talk about what she knows about JT. She's pretty forthcoming about the letters, but then Gemma walks in and interrupts. Once Tara leaves, she warns Piney to stay out of it.
And we're running our first bit of cocaine. Bobby seems highly uncomfortable. I'm very curious how this is gonna play out. Are we gonna keep doing it? Are some members gonna quit in protest? How much money is worth it? Do we think they are gonna get caught doing this?

Oh, that's super helpful. Thank you! It's interesting. I can never seem to tell if Jax is becoming more or less like his father as the seasons go on. It seems to be both. Which, actually makes sense as things aren't always linear. I definitely read that wrong with Tara about the sponsorship. Whoops.

Oh, I don't disagree. This was purely a Dana exercise in thought that did not really need to be a public forum. But, I don't know how to stop talking, so 🤷♀️🤣

Whether there is a distinction between muling or selling, Clay is such a hypocrite. He always does shit behind the club's back. Remember the hit on Opie. And the drug muling is all on Clay. Jax didn't know about it until after the fact. Clay set it all up in prison. Jax knew about it at the vote stage and only agreed to back Clay in the vote for his out.

I do think Tara agreed for her name to be used after Gemma mentioned her dad. I don't think Gemma was lying to the shop keeper when she said that.

What we learned from the Tara/Piney convo was that JT wanted to get out the drug business with the Irish and that be died before the meeting to discuss getting out. Very similar to what went down in Tucson with their charter and their dissenting members.

While the guys were in prison Tara asked Piney about JT and something she found, that's why Piney told Tara to leave history in the past in the first episode of the season. You were confused about what he said, but I knew it would be referenced again so I didn't clear it up. Piney was clear here on what he meant. He said she asked about JT and she said he didn't want to talk about it. Yes, Piney read the manuscript and even gave a copy to Jax, which is probably why Tara felt she could go to Piney. Since Piney seemed more receptive to talking about JT after his issues with Clay, she felt she could disclose she found letters from JT.

That's who she is! Thank you!

The shop owner is Eli's wife. Unser saw her with Eli at the hospital when he was watching Tara's office.
