Next scene: the SAMCRO compound. Tara's just loitering, Clay and Gemma are leaning against Lowen's car, hugging, and Lowen (who is rocking the rebel JD look) is standing around and calculating how much money she's going to make just by hanging around. Jax pulls in, and then right on his tail, Stahl and an ATF van. Unsurprisingly, nobody's happy to see her. She, in turn, charms the crowd by asking for Jimmy O and promising, "I can have a dozen agents here inside 20 minutes and they'll shred this white trash shithole." Clay rolls his eyes, looks resigned, then orders Tig to go get Jimmy. He does, and as Jimmy's unfolded from Tara's trunk, un-blindfolded and released from his duct tape bonds, he quips, "Thank goodness for the American justice system." The ATF agents hustle him away

Yeah, well, the native Americans in the parking lot are not nearly so grateful for the aforementioned justice system. Number one on the non-fan list: Jax. Stahl tells everyone: "Your VP made a deal." Jax charges toward Stahl screaming, "Son of a bitch!" and everything gets a little chaotic: Clay acts confused ("What is she talking about?"), Gemma is rooted to her spot in horror, Tig is about to lay a world of hurt on Jax, and Bobby Elvis smacks Jax around while yelling, "You ratted? You ratted?" Jax protests that he had no choice, and nobody is buying it. Gemma pushes her way through the circle of men to plead, "It wasn't his fault, she made him do it --" but the guys force her back out again. Well, there's your visual metaphor for how gender relations work in SAMCRO's world. Clay promises Jax that he's a dead man. Cut to Tara looking horrified. As ATF agents hustle Jax into a holding van, he tells Stahl, "You just signed my death warrant." She says coolly, "I'm sorry, but you know what? Your mother was right. This could never have worked out. There's no trust. I had to make sure the prince had turned rat." Jax's reply: He spits on her shoes. Tara quickly hugs Jax. Gemma's just devastated. Lowen walks over and glares at Stahl. The ATF agent, in turn, signs the deal and tells Lowen that if the SAMCRO boys can keep their stabby impulses to themselves, they could see their three-year sentence reduced to 14 months. (And I guess this is how we'll find out which actors are on the outs with the Sons of Anarchy team next season -- they'll be the ones whose characters are serving the full three years.)
