Okay, so this episode won’t make any Game of Thrones fans queasy with its sexual or violent content. It’s a great way of driving home Jax’s struggle balancing raising his children and his violent criminal life. Remember that thumb and breast required for proving Nero’s errant hooker Emma was dead last episode? Yeah, that’s in the cooler resting one room over from some sleeping kids. Then Jax discovers a cooler sitting on his kitchen table. Tara and Gemma are asleep on different couches, with his mother tenderly holding Jax’s son Tommy. Jax comes home and sees a scene of domestic tranquility. Sons‘ final “that’s so up” moment is also its most well-done. I’m really excited to see where this goes next episode.
Though this part seemed like gratuitous shock-value focused violence, it does definitely advance the plot.
It does push Roosevelt and SAMCRO into becoming uneasy allies, as now they must work together to end Charming’s robbery problem. It’s okay though, because following that Sheriff Roosevelt’s wife gets shot in the stomach during yet another home invasion.
Surely a true professional would have better tools for their trade. – The whips used by aforementioned trans prostitute look cheaply made and low quality. Maybe consider this before having one of (if not the only) genderqueer character on SoA be a whore who forces themselves on a civil servant. – So media representation is a big deal to some members of the LGBTQ communities. See also 'Sons of Anarchy' Season 3 Spoilers It’s presented as a hilarious over-the-top scenario, and features rape as something funny. That makes things a bit, shall we say … rapey. – Said transexual/civil servant never consent to sex, as one of them is unconscious. I’m not one for pearl clutching, but there’s so much wrong with that we need a special section about how awful that actually is.
Catch the whole thing on camera, threaten him with releasing the pictures if he votes the wrong way. The Sons of Anarchy solution? Drug the guy, dress him in bondage gear and have a transexual (played by The Shield‘s Walter Goggins) ride the poor fellow. Logical solution would be simply threatening said city council member with physical violence until he changes his mind. Mister Mayor finally agrees he’ll change his tune if the Sons help pass his Charming Heights initiative, currently blocked by one city council member’s vote. Too bad Charming’s mayor owns the property, and he’s surprisingly not keen on turning it into a whorehouse. SAMCRO’s finds their new business partner Nero a perfect location for his brothel. Let’s Awkwardly Transition to the Awkward Trans Part Seriously, if you don’t need a shower after watching it consider getting mental help. It’s this episode of Sons of Anarchy‘s plot and definitely the raunchiest installment to date. No, that’s not my version of “The Aristocrats!” joke. So a trans individual takes advantage of this drugged city council member, a pregnant woman gets shot in her stomach and some guy casually keeps a severed thumb and boob in the same house he raises his toddlers.
