Take Away This Ball and Chain

Chibs comes by with the news about Unser and the home invasion at Gemma's, and Jax's eyes bug out. He's convinced this is Pope's doing, but Bobby Elvis cautions him, "This is not about payback, brother." Jax, listen to your VP. He's got strategy for days. After a few minutes of fuming, Jax comes up with a plan: "Put the club on alert. Wives, kids, everyone should be looking out." Why not just have a big SAMCRO sleepover in the clubhouse, as in Season 2? Pope's tactic make the neo-Nazis look low-key by comparison. Jax sends Bobby to handle recon at Gemma's home retainer, makes promises of sweet, sweet cash to Lowen if she looks into the RICO business, then tells Chibs they have to find Fawn Traeger before Pope does. Tara takes this all in, looking less than pleased. And... girl. Either you're all in -- as you keep telling Jax -- or you're out, but the "I'm in, but only if I can look petulant most of the time" option is eroding any good will the audience has toward you.

Over at the Morrow spread, Roosevelt is practically chortling over this home invasion, if only because he so plainly feels that these violent crimes could not happen to a more deserving group of people. "You know this is retaliation," Roosevelt says, and Clay mumbles, "I don't know nothin'. I leave the crime fighting to the professionals." He then tells the professional crime fighter that whomever broke into the house absconded with his personal safe and its contents (personal documents like marriage licenses and birth certificates). Before Roosevelt can follow up, Gemma and Bobby come in, making all sorts of appalled noises, as one would do if one's tidy if taste-challenged house had been ransacked by thugs. Roosevelt sighs and smiles inwardly all, Here we go... because Gemma's now pulling her favorite defensive maneuver, snapping angrily at anyone around her so they can leave her alone long enough for her to pull herself together. Roosevelt says, "Okay. Well, I told the other guys, so I'll tell you: If this feud blows back on any innocents, I will call Gang Task Force and have Charming locked down. If you remember anything, give me a call." Roosevelt stalks off.
