In the prior scene, Gemma said, "It's a different time. We can't look at Jax in the same light as John," and in this one, Jax goes to visit John's grave. His "SO" ring is still sitting atop the headstone. After a few minutes of intense deliberation, Jax takes off his "NS" ring and puts it next to its partner, then walks away.
Over at the SAMCRO clubhouse, Lowen (aka Counselor Calamity Jane) hands over a sheet of equations that Lenny the Pimp's lawyer forwarded her. "Don't know what it means, don't really want to," she says, then hands over the sheet. "Give us a minute to do the math," Clay asks. "Take a few -- they're big numbers," Lowen says wryly, then leaves the church to go hang with the day-shift croweaters in the bar area. The upshot: they have a latitude and longitude for meeting up with the Russians and handing over the $2 million it will cost to buy Jimmy O. For the broke club, this is not good news. Tig rolls his eyes and asks why they can't just go in there and get Jimmy, since they do have about ten guys and ten times that many guns. Bobby Elvis points out that it's not a matter of knocking over the safe house, and any place where they make an exchange will be host to a small army of Russians.
Tig changes his line of inquiry: "Where the hell are we getting two million? We robbing banks now?" Clay just rolls his eyes.
Jax rolls up and Chuckie darts over to ask, "Can I show you something? It's real important. You really ought to know about it." Jax blows him off with a "Not now, bro," and walks over to Opie, who fills him in on the latest. Jax swears under his breath about this, then Tara waylays him with "I need a minute." Jax gives it to her; in the background, we see Chuckie sprinting for the office. Tara really just wants to know what's going on, but before she can successfully lean on Jax to answer, Chuckie comes out with one of his boxes, opens it, and says urgently, "Look!" Jax and Tara do, and both of them gape in delight.
Cut to the church, where everyone is brooding over the lack of foresight shown in not salting away $2 million for a rainy day. Jax and Chuckie come in with a box, and Clay asks, "What's this?' Jax lets Chuckie tell them: "After Tara got kidnapped, I tried to tell you guys about this. When I was running the counterfeit operation for Lin, I was supposed to throw away all the misprints and dirty runs. Well, I didn't!" Jax flips open the box and we see that Chuckie's been sitting on $5 million in counterfeit currency. Everyone's delighted. Tig pulls Chuckie onto his lap and says giddily, "I'm going to lend you my hand so you can jerk yourself off. Go on! Take it!" Oh, Tig, you are a libidinous enigma wrapped in a mystery and covered in a fine layer of motorcycle grease and dog hair.
