Alas, Tara does not say, "I hear Maine is lovely." Instead, she asks, "How do I tell my sons I'm the one who turned on their father?" You don't say a thing, Tara. DUH. Oh, this woman. I realize we're supposed to see that she's grappling with her love for Jax, etc., but you'd think that all this free time in prison would have given her the chance to assess how her life's gone since she returned to Charming. At this point, "Having sex with my smokin' hot ex while my stalker's body cools in the corner" is the HIGH POINT. Tara. Girl. In the last three years, you've reconciled with your ex while your other ex went into rigor mortis not two yards away, been held at gunpoint by a baby-stealing Irish terrorist, been cheated on, been held hostage, been fake-abducted by the government, lost your ability to do surgery, witnessed some really sick stuff, AND had Gemma for a mother-in-law … I mean, we all enjoy what Jax looks like with his clothes off, but he has them on just enough to make him more trouble than he's worth.

Anyway, Toric's all, "Not my problem!" He points out that Tara's got two weeks to decide whether his offer's good. Tara decides not to dither and says, "I don't need two weeks. I'm not guilty and I'm not a rat." Toric leaves with, "You take care of yourself, Doctor," and that little reminder of everything Tara has pissed away in the last three years is what breaks her once Toric leaves the room. But the minute the guard comes for her, Tara instantly stops crying, pulls herself into a tight knot of hostility and walks boldly, without a backward glance.

The boys are shooting the breeze down at the docks -- not literally, which is a refreshing change from the way they usually operate -- when Jax comes over, draws Chibs aside and tells him that Juice is back. Chibs says, "I wasn't sure he had the balls to come back here. What are we going to do with him? I mean, we tied up all the loose ends. I mean, we can't ignore all the shit he's pulled. He's a risk, Jackie." Jax shrugs that maybe Juice can earn back their trust. Chibs thinks that's a decision for church, but Jax disagrees: "Our table is in pieces. The shit that Juice pulled? That knowledge crushes the brotherhood even more. Let's give him a chance to prove himself, then decide." Chibs looks skeptical, but he's not of a mind to go against his MC's president.

Anyway, we move into act II on Nero's news that he and Jax will have a meet-and-greet with Barofsky's lady friend in a bit, Tig is to go let one Persian pornographer out of the cage, and the rest of the men are to head back to Charming. Before Jax rolls out, he asks Tig to check out the production equipment. "You thinkin' more Caracara?" Tig asks. "I'm thinkin' you don't need to know," Jax replies. Oooh, ya burnt!
