90 full minutes of Sons of Anarchy? Can you see me jumping up and down and squealing like a 1980s teeny-bopper at a New Kids on the Block concert?

As we know from the culmination of last week’s episode, Jax (Charlie Hunnan) has decided to go nomad. When he announces this to Piney (William Lucking), he’s met with frustration. Piney lays out his rationale easily: “If you’re not number two when Clay’s hands freeze up, who becomes leader then?” Sam Crow is Jax’s father’s legacy, and he needs to think things out before he jumps to any rash decisions.

On a happier note, Chibs (Tommy Flanagan) has been released from the hospital and is pretty much good as new. But his sunny disposition quickly becomes stormy when he’s told about Jax’s decision to go nomad.

Agent Stahl (Ally Walker) trains her feelers on Jax after she finds out he’s leaving SAM CRO, and I have to say—this chick annoys me.

She takes sharp breaths before she speaks, and I want to yell at her to breathe normally. Maybe that’s just my OCD kicking in. Stahl also reaches out to Chibs in an effort to get IRA, while the IRA threatens Chibs in an effort to get back on good graces with Sam Crow.

Tara (Maggie Siff) tells Gemma (Katey Sagal) the news, and mama’s not happy about her son’s decision. She’s scared for him, and she doesn’t want him to get hurt—or worse—as a nomad. She sits down with Jax, and they have a heart-to-heart, where she reveals her belief that Jax’s father’s death was not an accident.

After a chat with Unser (Dayton Callie), Jax is convinced that Clay was not responsible for the fire at Caracara. What follows is a calm conversation between the stepfather and stepson, with Clay owning up to the fact that he wants Jax to go nomad. For some reason, I don’t think Gemma would approve.

The vote regarding Jax going nomad is unanimous. Yays all around, but the majority of them are reluctant.

At the end of the episode, Gemma sits down with Clay, Jax and Tara and recounts what happened the night of Bobby’s party—the night of the gang rape. As she calmly tells her family about what was probably the worst night of her life, I cried like a baby. Especially when Clay cupped her face and looked at her with a mixture of sorrow and love. Overall, this was the most honest episode of Sons of Anarchy I’ve seen.
