Meanwhile, Clay is expanding his mind by reading Flatland as he waits to see what's going on. Lee Toric helpfully shows up at that moment to fill him in. Toric says, "I know you didn't kill Damon Pope. A man with your skill and experience wouldn't be so careless as to toss a weapon with prints a few hundred yard from a murder scene. My guess? Jax Teller took out Pope. From what I heard, he blames Pope for the death of his friend in the catacombs here. But then he pins the murder on you. Why? Maybe you just didn't love him enough as a kid.
"Outlaws on other outlaws is nothing new, but an old lady turning on her old man is a serious breach of protocol. What happened there?" Clay turns a page and mumbles, "Maybe I just didn't love her enough." Toric smirks and says, "As the proud owner of three ex-wives, that unfortunately makes sense." So now that the guys have bonded over the perfidy of women, Toric gets to the main point: "Next shift puts you back in gen pop. You know what happens then." "Black pope takes white pawn?" asks Clay. Toric appreciates the attempt at a chess metaphor and asks for SAMCRO. He explains, "Otto Delaney ripped open my sister's throat to beat RICO for Jax and your club. This isn't about a case, or my career. This is very personal." He hands Clay a business card: "If you want to live, let the guard know before the next shift." Clay uses the card as a bookmark in Flatland, then begins mulling his options.
We're in Bobby's new digs. As Filthy Phil maneuvers a refrigerator into place -- it looks like a toy next to his giant frame -- he frets that Bobby lacks an oven. Bobby's pretty sure he'll be okay. Quinn -- who is even bigger than Filthy Phil -- helps settle the fridge, and while he's dancing the dolly back out from under the appliance, Bobby delicately extracts the admission that Quinn misses being a Nomad biker every day. "Let's talk later," he says. "I want to bounce something off you."
In Stockton, the four main SAMCRO riders turn a corner, interrupting the perambulations of the small blond boy we saw earlier. He stops, watches them ride by, then continues on his way.
Back in Charming, Wendy's just pulled into the Teller-Morrow parking lot. She notices Abel romping on the play structure with Unser and stops for a moment to just watch him. Gemma comes out and asks, "What are you doing here?" Wendy says mildly, "Looking for you. I heard about Tara." Gemma says, "I guess that puts a wrench in your little guardian plans," and Wendy's all, "Guard in the what now?" Gemma reminds us all, "Tara put together a will that named you as the guardian to those boys?" and Wendy's all, "No, that doesn't ring a bell…" Oh my gosh, I really hope that one of Tara's first calls in prison was to Wendy all, "Hey! So about taking the boys and getting out? Something's kind of come up. I'm reasonably sure the two of us might be able to out-think Jax so …"
