Lean In, Jax! Farther In!

ANYWAY. Wendy says, "I didn't ask her to do that." And she adds, "Look, Gemma. I'm done fighting. The shit that went down last week? Almost cost me three years of sobriety. I can't do it. Abel's with his dad. If I try to change that, either I'm going to get killed or he's going to get hurt. Just keep them safe. Please." Gemma's giving Wendy the side-eye, as if wondering what Wendy's game is here, but she graciously accepts Wendy's seeming defection from The Land Of Dysfunction. As Wendy walks off, Gemma calls, "What if Tara pushes that will on Jax?" "I am not going to let her make me a guardian," Wendy says. But then she adds ominously, "If I think about it, I think I kind of miss this place."

Hey, it's torture porn central, and the guys who are busy violating a woman on the bed are using circa-2004 rhetoric, I guess because the show already did masked men gang-raping a woman back in season two and they want to mix it up a bit. The SAMCRO boys plus a few of Nero's crew catch the attention of the Ghanazi brothers, they muscle their way in through a combination of professional networking ("We're pornographers too!") and weaponry, and then Jax attempts to exorcise his guilt over Opie by getting all self righteous with, "You hurt one of our girls. A friend of mine, Lyla Winston. The Saffron sisters … she said you weren't real clear about the gig. She had no idea she was going to get cut, burned and beaten."

The Ghanazi brothers protest that in this economy, workers should be grateful for any job. Jax says menacingly, "I'm trying to handle this in a calm, professional manner, but unless you want to be the one on that mattress while four white boys go jihad on your ass, I suggest you pay these girls and let them go."

Tig, by the by, is having a hard time emotionally with seeing one of the women manacled inside a cage, and Chibs has to come over and help him open the cage to free the woman. It's a wonderful bit that shows how Chibs has everyone's numbers, and how Tig is not ever going to be fully "himself" again.

Anyway, the Iranians take this about as well as can be expected, which is to say that they attempt to pull guns on everyone, but we are dealing with SAMCRO and Nero, and not only do their cuts have magical bullet-deflecting powers, they're all in the credits so you know they're going to be okay. Anyway, Jax is kind of horrified by the entire bathtub of pee the brothers have just chilling in a corner, but before he can make someone else pull the plug, a bunch of cops descend and make everyone put their hands on their heads.
