Things to Do in Dublin When You're Dead
In a hurry? Read the recaplet for a nutshell description!

Previously: Tara and her boss lady got abducted by Salazar, the SAMCRO B-Team wondered how they'd scrounge up the quarter mil for her ransom, Clay killed traitorous Original 9 club member McGee, and Jax found out that this season-long quest to rescue his son is boiling down to a lesson in good Catholic social work.

Jax has been trying to reach Agent Stahl on the phone, but no dice so far. He spots Trinity re-stocking the shop from afar and decides to bite the bullet and actually talk to this girl who he now knows is his sister. You can't un-ring a bell, so things between these two is never going to be completely un-creepy, but it's nice to see that Jax can share a bond with a sister. Even if she's, as she says, "A sister [he] nearly shagged." (Jax: "You say that like it's a bad thing.") He kisses her on her forehead -- again, it's big brotherly except for how our memories stretch back longer than six days -- and she encourages him to go out and rescue her nephew.

Jax finally gets the call back from Stahl. He tells her that Ashby basically used the club to prove Jimmy O was a traitor, and now they've got him marked for death. Stahl reminds him (and thus us) that their deal was Jimmy O alive, in exchange for Gemma's freedom, as well as the club's. Jax makes sure she knows his first priority is finding Abel. He gets called back inside and tells Stahl he's "handling it." Whatever the holy fuck that even means anymore.

Tara and Margaret are still tied up in the attic at Salazar's. Margaret's losing it, breaking down and talking about her husband and kid. Tara, stone-faced, says that the police must've been notified by now, surely they're on the case. Margaret sniffles that Tara seems to be taking this all in stride. Tara pauses, perhaps wondering what that says about the last couple years of her life.

Officer Eglee gets startled when she comes into work to find Wayne asleep on the couch. It saves them both on time, because Eglee was at the bar talking to a friend who works in the Mayor's office and she learned that city council had an emergency meeting tonight to incorporate the Charming PD into the county sheriff's department. Just like Jacob Hale told Wayne he wouldn't let happen. If I told you this leads Wayne to hunch over looking world-weary and beleaguered, would you believe me?

With the club assembled, Maureen hands Clay a scrap of paper she found in McGee's dresser. It's got an address on it, though she's not sure if it's Jimmy's or Donny's or what. Clay solemnly thanks her, then apologizes for what happened to her old man. He hands her McGee's "FIRST NINE" patch, which she accepts with a "keep it together" look on her face. Like I said last week, this would all be quite powerful if we had any kind of grasp of what McGee really meant to either of these two.
