Tara is finally fed up with people barging into her office and snaps, "Most civil people would knock." "I'm not most people," Gemma says serenely. "And she's definitely not civil," Chuckie says, materializing at her elbow. Gemma whirls on him and asks, "What are we, George and Gracie now?" She turns away and Chuckie grins, all relieved that nobody made a Howdy Doody joke about puppet hands. As Piney tries to go, Tara's like, "No, you hang on. I'll get to you," then takes Gemma to the hall to see what her eventual mother-in-law wants. Gemma says, "I want to sign you up for a committee -- Charming Central Gardens. We need to raise money to save it." Tara demurs, pointing out that she's already on three hospital committees and refraining from adding that she's also raising two children under the age of three. Gemma says, "I just need your name. It means a lot to get a doctor involved. It attracts donors. It's a chance to help this town." I am still stuck on the conceit that Tara's name would somehow attract donors, because if Charming is all that small, then surely everyone knows Tara's associated with SAMCRO, and that's not exactly a money-dragger. Tara gives Gemma a skeptical look and cuts to the chase: "What's your angle on this? Why do you give a shit about an overgrown park?" Gemma pulls the daddy card, but before she can really work herself into a button-pressing monologue about family and its importance, Chuckie interrupts them. Something's up with Piney.
