T.O.! I love T.O. a lot and want to see more of him. It looks like his club will be working with SAMCRO to take care of the MC trying to move into Lodi.

Man, Jax is going to try to start a war with the Irish, isn't he? But damn, Opie reach out and putting that hand on his shoulder -- I love their friendship so much. Don't really slash them, though, despite what this season is giving us. Damn, Opie, walk around with her hands on her vest some more being all confident and shit. That's goddamn hot.

I watched last week, but I think I missed some shit due to a phone call from my brother, because I have no clue who the hell Maureen is -- though I'm catching on. She has Abel, she loved John Teller, etc.

DUDE TARA IS WITH GEMMA NOW? I wish to see more of them being together. Solving problems, like Nate taking off with the Caddy and the hunting rifle. Wait, they have the caregiver tied up in the basement? OKAY OBVIOUSLY I NEED TO REWATCH LAST WEEK'S EPISODE GODDAMN.

(I will answer the phone for only a few people if I'm watching something I love and can't record it [no dvr at this place between moves], but my parents and siblings top this list.)

I love Amelia trying to bargain with Gemma and Gemma threatening to kill her and all the ways she could hurt her. And Tara in the background, making these horrible faces and really not prepared for this. Oh, honey, you thought you were prepared to play with the first string, but you're not ready to come off the bench.

God, the racist and ableist threats really fucking suck, Gemma. Damn.

Opie does not look happy about providing Cara Cara girls for entertainment, at least in that it involves Lyla. (I'm guessing it wasn't Lyla's son that was shot in the first episode of the season, either.) Last episode, did he get upset that Lyla was still doing porn or just at seeing it? I'm a little confused by that too.

Piney comes in and clears the barber shop. The town's upset with SAMCRO, obviously. This is going to be interesting.

Jacob Hale and Unser maybe making deals together, I do not know what to do with this. Damn, Hale's death really shook things up.

SAMCRO is going to hire a mercenary to track down Abel.

Lowen. A lawyer? Another woman? I'm shocked to see her, but hope we get more of her. This show needs more women. Jax doesn't want everyone to skip on bail and can't ask them to do it, but Clay says he can and takes a vote. God, ROADTRIP. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THIS SHOW NEEDS! ROAD FUCKING TRIP! And finally they're going to tell Gemma about Abel.

God, Gemma's really not taking her father leaving very well at all. His illness, her ability to take care of him -- she even calls herself a stupid bitch.

OH SHIT. Gemma's dad is thinking about killing himself. JESUS FUCK. This storyline is killing me, the deterioration of a parent, the heartbreak of losing your memories and mind and self. God.

Lyla wants to do the entertaining, too, without even getting paid, because she wants to help. Opie just doesn't want her to end up sad, and she says she could never be sad, she's with Opie, he's her guy. Can we get some naked Opie soon? We get a lot of Jax, after all. And way to go Clay, clapping and whistling and ruining the moment.

Jax: Looks like you guys are working things out.
Opie: You can never tell. Every time I try to talk to her, we end up naked.
Me: GODDAMN SHOW WHY MUST YOU TEASE US WITH NAKED OPIE?

Tara and Amelia in the basement, Tara providing wound care. And now Tara is cutting one of her hands free to let the circulation back in. I can see this ending badly. Sure enough, she grabs a cannister and knocks Tara out, then tries to cut herself free. Gemma's coming downstairs, but then Tig calls out that Nate returned and she doesn't see that Amelia is freeing herself.

Nate says he got rid of the gun and asks if he killed someone. Gemma says he didn't and just the shooting itself was an accident. Oh, god, poor Nate. Oh, Nate, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry that the days when you can remember everything you normally forget are the worst days. God, this story is heartbreaking. Absolutely heartbreaking. And he's going to have to leave his home and that's so frustrating and sad at the same time.

OH SHIT. Amelia attacks Gemma, Tara tries to knock her out, Gemma slams her into the wall, and Amelia is fucking dead. GODDAMNIT. Another woman dead, a woman of color. I am tired of this bullshit. Why are you SO GOOD and SO BAD at the SAME FUCKING TIME?

Tara and Gemma working together to clean up the mess is going to be interesting, right down to Gemma holding back Tara's hair while she throws up. And Tara wanting to keep Jax from knowing -- oh, dude.

CHERRY! CHERRY'S BACK! And god, she's going to find out about Prospect. Oh SHIT and she works for Maureen? Goddamn. Does she know about Abel? Surely fucking not -- except now Maureen's going to have her do some work to reach out to Gemma. DAMN. And now she is going to learn that Prospect is dead.

Oh, man, Clay and Jax talking about how much they miss Gemma (and Tara, I think), and Clay even saying "I love you too, son." GOD. Created families SO MUCH LOVE. And now Jax calls Tara and she has to try to get through the conversation without letting onto anything.

STEPHEN KING! FUCKING STEPHEN KING ON A RED FUCKING MOTORCYCLE! COME TO BE CREEPY AND GET RID OF THE BODY. WHILE HE LISTENS TO 80S MUSIC.

AND NOW OPIE BEING ALL ~EMO AND THEN FIGHTING MAD OVER LYLA AT WORK. Hahaha, I do not think a bar brawl was the kind of entertainment they wanted, OPIE. It's the entertainment I want, though! I love when you hit things. And Clay snarking he hopes someone is filming it. Love it.

That is a good point, Lin, why was Opie there if he is still adjusting to Lyla's career. And now Clay has to find some other way to get money and guns from Lin. Damn. Opie you really really fucked up.

Oh no, Cherry knows about Prospect and found out Maureen's cousin killed Prospect. She got Gemma's number though. Poor Cherry.

And now Maureen is calling Gemma. Damn. Though Gemma's phone is in Charming still. Shit.

Tig, Tara, and Gemma all sit around in awkward silence while STEPHEN FUCKING KING gets rid of the body and then creepily leaves. LOVE IT!

Opie apologizes to Jax but not to Clay? Well, true, the money was to find Abel.

OPie thinks maybe Tara's leave of absence is the best thing, after everything she's been through. Jax references his Dad's manuscript (my favorite character!) and says there's only two ways for an old lady to make it, you tell her everything or you tell her nothing. Opie says he didn't tell Donna anything, with the implication that look what happened to her. He's not yet sure about what he'll do with Lyla.

Damn, I miss Donna.

More "I love yous" in this episode; Jax and Opie just told each other that too. I can see why people might be slahing them this season in particular. I love their friendship SO MUCH.

So now they know Cameron was in Ireland and have no idea where Abel is. Poor Jax.

So, I've been watching Criminal Minds this summer and I would like some fic recs. In particular, I would like Garcia/Derek. Anyone?
