In that scene: Lyla admits that "we're struggling a little. A lot of distance. We don't talk much." Gemma says, "It's just lizard brain, baby. It happens to all guys when they get married." Cut to Tara looking at Gemma all, You know I'm engaged to be married to your son, right? She then awkwardly mutters about giving it all some time. Lyla haltingly thanks them, and the club's queen walks off with the queen-in-waiting. Tara hisses, "That felt shitty." "Yeah, not our business," Gemma replies.
Just then, Lyla catches site of Ima's car and turns toward the clubhouse. Bobby Elvis asks Gemma, "Is she -- is she looking for Ope?" Gemma turns back in genuine dismay.
Lyla stalks inside and asks, "Where is she?" "Where's who, darlin'?" Piney asks. (Thomas is in his arms, and it's the cutest damn thing. Is there a member of SAMCRO who does not handle babies well? I ask because every time there's a baby on screen, there's a biker dandling the infant on his knee. I'm going to pass out from shock the day we see Happy soothing a child to sleep with Snow White & the Chainsaw She Used to Sever the Beating Heart from Her Stepmother's Chest.) Ima saunters out, and Lyla asks, "What are you doing here?" Ima pouts, "Nobody says 'Good morning' any more." Again, the contrast between how Ima's kitted out -- little leather jacket, shorts, feathers in her hair -- and Lyla is exquisite.
Anyway, Lyla and Ima have a conversation wherein some things are said that can't be taken back, and the upshot is they're not besties any more. Tig comes in all, "Hey, hey, hey," right as Lyla lunges for Ima, and Ima pulls out a gun for the second episode IN A ROW and threatens to blow a hole through Lyla's "yammy." She then starts waving it around to cover her escape. Lyla sobs, "Why him?" and Ima says, "You want answers, sweetheart? Go ask the cock that was inside of me last night." Lyla runs off, sobbing even harder, and Tig steps between Ima and Dawn, telling Ima to get out, now. As Ima leaves, Tara snarls, "Keep that .38 close, bitch. You're going to need it." If Ima were as badass as she thinks she is, that's when she would have shot Tara in the kneecap.
