Potter has set Act II into motion: He pressures Roosevelt to lean on Juice, and so Roosevelt does. He bids Juice to get one of the tracking stickers(!) the cartel uses to monitor the progress of its cocaine shipments. Juice, however, is terrified by the task and ends up stealing an entire brick of the stuff. The theft is not unnoticed by the episode's end, but we'll have to wait to the next episode to see how it's explained away.

More Potter-iffic fallout: Big Otto tasks Gemma with getting the club to find out who killed Luann. (Both of them refuse to countenance the “sheriff's” implication that it was very probably Bobby Elvis who did.) Next thing we know, Clay and Jax are bringing the issue into church, but they've changed the story to protect Bobby Elvis: Although there was semen in Luann's pants, it's a mystery as to whose (cut to Bobby Elvis sweating a few bullets), and they like Georgie Caruso (Tom Arnold) for it. Since the club's all paranoid about Sheriff Roosevelt finding anything on them he can, they decide to handle Caruso first. They do, with an assist from David Hasselhoff, and Clay decides to keep Caruso alive because he can hook them up with perverse Asian investors that can flirt with the Charming Heights project, then cruelly dash Mayor McCheese's hopes at the last minute. This will not backfire on SAMCRO at all, I am sure. Then Bobby Elvis goes and lies to Big Otto about killing Georgie.

(Honestly, it's a shrewd move on Clay and/or Jax's part: By protecting Bobby now, they're insulating themselves against suspicion should anything happen to him later. And given Bobby's very obvious disapproval of the cartel move, something's going to happen … and that's when the “Oh, it turns out he was having things to do with Luann” story will come in handy.)

The hunt for Georgie provides an excuse for a Lyla-related subplot. I know – it was hard to curb my elation enough to type steadily, but here we are. While hanging out in her dressing room, Opie discovers Lyla's taking birth control, which would be quite counterproductive to the whole “Let's have a baby” thing they supposedly had going on. Opie reacts as any rational man would: he sleeps with Ima.

Piney has a talk with Clay: He knows that JT was trying to get the club out of the gun business right before he was killed, he's pretty sure Clay engineered JT's death, and he has the letters to prove it. He says, “You kill the drug muling or you let the rest of the club read those letters.” Rather than remembering that the club is made up of men who have been known to throw porno mags across the room if the captions were too wordy, Clay freaks out at the prospect of the letters surfacing. Gemma vows to find the letters for his and her peace of mind. She also knows that if she doesn't spin the situation carefully, both Tara and Piney will end up dead. Her idea is to have Unser find the letters in Tara's office and hand them over to her. Unser finds the letters – or copies of them, anyway – and reads them. Then he and Clay have a vicious argument, during which you can actually see Unser strip away decades of self-deception and justification, and the upshot is that Clay wants to find the original letters and launch into Operation Cover My Arthritic Ass, Collateral Damage Be Damned. When Gemma checks in with Unser, he lies to her about having handled the letters. So Gemma feels free to lie to Clay the next morning about having found the letters in Tara's desk drawer.

Line of the night:
Clay, to Gemma: I had John Teller killed while I was bedding his wife.
