The Road Through Charming Is Paved with Good Intentions

Jax has come to the hospital with Chibs to grab Tara and the boys for lockdown -- an Irish goon sneaking in behind him -- and on the way to Tara's office, he notices Wendy chatting with Abel by a vending machine. Jax skids to a halt in the hall and you can see the thought bubble reading, "What the actual f***?" floating over his head. He calls out to Abel -- who runs to him -- and barely manages to keep his temper in check when he tells Tara to buckle up for the conversation they're about to have outside. Jax heads back to daycare and Tara heads out past Chibs, who looks like he is not so keen on Jax's decision-making here. As Wendy walks out, she passes right by the Irish goon, who follows her.

In the parking lot, Chibs asks Jax, "You really want to do this now?" as tires squeal in the background. And whoops, guess who just got abducted? Jax speaks for us all with, "Shit."

Tara enters her office and Lee Toric introduces himself. (Creepy! Delightfully so!) He says, "My family and I are out here for the funeral. I knew you were there when it happened. I just wanted to talk to you." Tara murmurs, "Of course. Please, sit down. What can I do to help?" Toric then says he just wants to fill in the blanks on what happened. Tara says, "He threw her into a wall and knocked her out. She was unconscious when he... he stabbed her in the throat. I'm sure she didn't feel anything." "And he did that with a cross?" Toric asks. Tara says, "Yes. She bled to death from puncture wounds. I wish I could have done more." Toric continues to ask questions, Why did Otto attack Pam Toric, how many times Tara had treated Otto, how well did Tara know Otto, how well did Jax know him? Tara asks, "Who are you?" and Toric says, "I already told you. I'm the guy who lost his little sister." He also happens to be a U.S. Marshall, and this was the point in the episode where I exclaimed involuntarily, "Please let there be a Justified crossover!"

Anyway, Toric is retired and now that Tara realizes the grieving relative has a huge background in legal loopholes and investigations, she is suddenly harder and colder. Toric tells her, "Tomorrow Otto tells his side to ISU. What do you think that's going to sound like? Maybe he tells them he murdered my sister to protect his MC from a pending RICO investigation, and maybe he tells them he got the murder weapon from the wife of the club president." Tara protests, "I had no idea what he was going to do with that crucifix." "I believe you," Lee says, but he's still got the wrath of God burning across his face. He adds, "I also believed my niece and nephew would grow up with a mother." He leaves.
