Firstly, HOLY SHIT!!!!! I literally screamed and burst into tears twice in the space of three minutes. Wow, just....wow! I was thinking that the beginning of this episode was a bit slow and normal for an SOA finale... and then BAM! I am in shock...

What a season for Tara! I applaud Maggie Siff for an amazing performance, especially in the last few episodes. She will be missed and I really did feel for Tara's plight this season with being jailed and stalked, trying to get the boys out of the never ending shitsplosion that is the club, and then to finally have the solution right there, ready to go, only to be stabbed by a carving fork over a misunderstanding. Shit eh?

I knew as soon as Gemma (Katey Sagal) took Unser's (Dayton Callie) truck that she was off to find Tara... I actually thought she would have a gun ready to shoot her with but I have to say the kitchen cat fight was better. What I want to know is, did Juice (Theo Rossi) just clean up all the mess or is he planning to take the fall for this after Jax (Charlie Hunnam) just confronted him with the betrayal to Nero (Jimmy Smits) about that Dominique woman? He might take the fall just to get away from the clubs justice and to protect Gemma who saved his life when he took all those oxy last ep.

Was the DA (CCH Pounder) looking at Jax's gun as the murder weapon then? What happens now to the musical game of deals? Tara doesn't need to be cleared of that murder now so all the DA needs is someone to take the fall for the guns, right? Jax can't turn himself in and leave the boys with no one now, especially with Gemma all screwy and Wendy (Drea de Matteo) in rehab. How long will Gemma be able to hide this one?

I was so happy when Tara and Jax worked things out. That scene at the park was brilliantly shot and portrayed. Tara was so scared and the look on Jax's face was definitely something to be afraid of... and then he said something like "Be a good mother. You don't have to run anymore." Cue swoons.

I find it really hard not to blog about this show every episode - I like to keep it fresh for ya'll - but it has to be one of my favourite shows. Kurt Sutter does an amazing job writing, keeping us constantly guessing and his season long plot lines never fail to impress me. I can't wait to see what he has planned for us for the final season of this fantastic show and what he will come up with next.

If you need me I'll be the one in the corner sobbing into my pillow until next season..

Well, Kurt Sutter has done it again! His writing and filming style constantly grabs me; the way he can build the story up and then shock us is just brilliant. I think I love him...

Now, I know me and the hubs weren't the only ones screaming for Clay's (Ron Perlman - Hellboy!) death last season, and I remember posting this quote from Sutter saying that as long as people tune in to watch Clay die, he will never be getting killed off. Then this season he goes to prison and he gets a little softer around the edges and just when you start to feel a little bit sorry for the bastard - BAM - Sutter kills him off! You ass Sutter!

It was done so well though, Clay knew what was happening the moment Jax (Charlie Hunnam - Green Street Hooligans!) killed Galen (Timothy V. Murphy). I have to say I didn't see that one coming at all... well, not right that second anyway. I thought Jax was going to go through with the plan to hand Galen over to the DA (played by CCH Pounder from Warehouse 13!). I think I even screamed out loud when Jax shot him and my immediate thought was; Well there goes those deals with the DA. Maybe when Jax found out about what Tara (Maggie Siff) was up to, his plans with the deals changed?

Speaking of Tara... wow, hasn't she turned into Gemma (Katey Sagal) this season? Faking a pregnancy and miscarriage so Gemma can't have custody of the boys. I think she was on the right track, after Gemma had the car accident stoned with the boys in the car and the Tara's trial with a possibility of prison... I would be worrying about who was looking after the boys too. But I think Gemma has gotten a bit better from being with Nero (Jimmy Smits), who I absolutely love! I mean, look at how she's looking after Wendy (Drea de Matteo - The Sopranos) right now. Can I just mention the Nero and Unser (Dayton Callie - Deadwood) banter from the last episode? Those two... poor Unser, so in love with Gemma but can't stop himself from actually liking Nero. He's a good guy Unser, and unless you (and Sutter) have forgotten, you are terminal...

Galen and Clay are dead but the DA isn't going to keep Jax's deals on the table. Tara and Jax look like they might be able to mend something unless Tara takes the DA's new deal... will she? What will that mean for the club? Just when the idea of getting out of guns looks like it might actually work... Well, we know there will be at least one more season after this... so what's going to happen? Will next season be all about the Sons in prison and the trial? Who knows with Sutter at the helm.

I cannot help but think about this show for days after every episode, that's a good thing right?

I've figured out who are doing the home invasions! If you don't know and don't want to know, you should probably stop reading this post now but I will tell you that I'm not giving anything away, the clues are all there I just missed them until I had a conversation with a friend about it. Ready.... it's the newly initiated members of the MC who were from another charter... remember when they were first approved and one of them put his leg up on the table? That leg was the same as the one we saw when they broke into Gemma's (Katey Sagal) place and beat up Unser (Dayton Callie). Go back and take another look eh? Sheriff Eli (Rockmond Dunbar) is going to go on a freakin' rampage now that his wife has been injured and very likely lost their baby... bring it I say!

I need to give a very special mention to Walton Goggins (The Shield) who guest starred in this episode as Venus, and boy did he have the best set of boobs I've ever seen or what? I would have loved to have been in the room when they attached those knockers to him! And Tig's (Kim Coates) reaction to her? Brilliant! I did a double take when the kid walked in on Venus and the boys taking photos... it's Marshall Allman who you might recognise as Tommy Mickens from True Blood! Wonder if he's going to stick around for a bit? New prospect maybe? Speaking of guest roles who might stick around, is that the last we've seen of Emma Jean (Ashley Tisdale)? That was quick!

Also good to see Mayor Hale (Jeff Kober) again, seems like him and the MC will have a better working relationship in this season, especially now Jax (Charlie Hunnam) has something to hold over him...

So now they have their new place of business with Nero and even though both Gemma and Nero (Jimmy Smits) are struggling with the no contact rule that Jax has set, it looks like this might work. The MC could get out of the guns and coke and into something more straight laced like Jax has been trying to do since the very beginning, what his father was trying to do before him. Wonder what Clay (Ron Perlman) will do this time? He is being eerily quiet at the moment... makes me wonder whether the guys pulling the home invasions are on his pay role? What do you think?

Tara (Maggie Siff) be careful of that hand will you? You use it too much before the docs say you can and you'll damage it! Trust me, I've got wrist problems, I know what I'm talking 'bout! The Irish discussion between Jax and Galen (Timothy V. Murphy) was a definite highlight.

This show is the highlight of my TV week! Thanks Kurt Sutter!

Clay: "Just a little Irish discussion."

Romeo: "Should I be worried?"

Clay: "Nah. It will all end in Guinness and manhood."
