Happy: Previously on Sons of Anarchy...

Jax: Leland.

Leland: You bring another police escort?

Jax: We had nothing to do with the sheriffs. You g*n them down, so now they're everyone's problem.

Scoot: We hear the bitch lived.

Chibs: But she's not talking.

Gemma: k*lling your mommy was an accident. It was such an awful accident.

Harrison: Abel h*t the kid with a metal lunchbox and put a gash in his head. It was unprovoked.

Gemma: Why'd you h*t that kid?

Abel: It was an accident.

Gemma: Do you understand what an accident is?

Abel: Do you?

Nero: So, I was talking to my uncle. He'll give me his farm if I can come up with 150 cash as a down. It's us having a place that we can run to. I want you with me. We deserve something better, Gemma.

Gemma: Do we?

Jax: It's all gonna come together. I just need to show him the video. Make him think he's getting the leverage.

Grant: What happened? Why do you need more leverage?

Jax: Marks grabbed one of my guys.

( Bobby yelling )

Tyler: For every 24 hours August has to wait, he's gonna cut off another part of your guy. I mean, I'm with you, but I don't know how much longer I'm gonna be able to keep playing double agent.

Jax: Jesus.

August: If you or your mother ever get the idea to betray me, this is what happens.

Jax: No! No!

Grant: What happens now?

Jax: You should find a good lawyer. I'll keep a couple of my guys with you. I'm giving the DA your statement. I'll lead the cops to the pastor's body.

Nero: How's your crew holding up?

Jax: It's brutal. Bobby was... We all leaned on him, you know? I'm not sure what SAMCRO looks like without him.

Nero: Yeah. It really rocked Gemma. Look, I tried to bring this up a few times, Mano, but, uh, you know, with everything going on, you know... I was serious about selling my piece.

Jax: Yeah, I know. I'm just not in a place where I can do that right now.

Nero: Mm-hmm. I figured as much. I've been talking to Alvarez. He's got the cash. I'll sell him my half and he'll let Oso and his crew run the house in Stockton.

Jax: You made this deal behind my back?

Nero: No. Just exploring my options. Nothing's set in stone.

Jax: This about your uncle's farm?

Nero: Yeah. It's time, Jax. We both know that. Hey, I ain't dropping out. I'll be around, make sure the transition works.

Winsome: Hey. Morning.

Nero: Morning.

Winsome: I'm gonna head over to Red Woody. Lyla's gonna help me with all the computer shit.

Jax: Okay, good. The hard copy's in the closet next to the kitchen.

Winsome: Okay.

Nero: You got to take all that data then and re-enter it.

Winsome: I don't really know what that means, but okay.

Nero: She seems to be adjusting to life indoors.

Jax: Yeah. She's a smart girl. A little unstable, but smart.

Nero: Mm-hmm, that's the way we like them. About selling my piece. This ain't about me and you, Jax.

Jax: I get it. I'm okay with Alvarez. I just... I don't know, I... Guess I'm just not ready to lose my partner.

Nero: I'm gonna be around. Uh, I love your mom. And I'm hoping that, uh, she comes down, spends time with me. Your boys, too. Lucius will be there. It's quiet, it's safe. Be a nice little escape.

Jax: Yeah. Okay.

Nero: Seems like you're not the only son who was seeking a little, uh, professional comfort.

Jax: Uh, I guess not. I'll catch you later?

Nero: Yeah.

Jax: No, he's still in County.

Rat Boy: Three days and no hearing?

Rat Boy: Today still make sense?

Jax: Yeah. You all set with T.O.?

Jax: Perfect. Hey? Thank you for hanging out with me.

Winsome: Anytime. Hey. I don't know much about you. Your club or anything. But I can see you're in pain. I know how hard it is to look past the shit we do. I've lost track of all the people I've hurt. Disappointed. But you've been really nice to me. And-and kind. And you kept your word. Not a lot of people do that. You're a really decent guy, Jax.

Montez: We'll know more by the end of the day.

Loutreesha: I talked to the DA and I hired a lawyer. Jax said we could leave after I did all that.

Grant: Look, you need to tell us what's going on. We can't just sit here waiting to find out if someone's gonna k*ll us.

Montez: That's exactly why you're just gonna sit there.

Harrison: Your brother? That's a big scratch for a little brother. Are you sure that's what happened? If someone else did this to you, like an adult or a friend, you need to tell me.

Abel: Why?

Jax: Okay. We're all set to meet with Otis.

Tully: The sit-down is this afternoon. He'll bring everybody up to speed.

Jax: Is there anything I need to know about this guy?

Tully: He was my number two in Tempe. Just got out of Perryville. He's solid.

Jax: Time for the inbreds to move over, huh?

Tully: Yeah. I think Leland isn't so happy about the shift in management.

Jax: We'll help him adjust. But you need to make sure that Juice gets to Lin.

Tully: Well, in the meantime, I'm gonna keep that little Puerto Rican real close. I'll make sure no one breaks his heart.

Jax: Well, he could do with a little loving.

Moses: Not what I need. It's what Mr. Marks needs. Loutreesha Haddem has confirmed her statement with the DA. Secured herself a lawyer.

Tyler: So what happens now?

Moses: Well, Mr. Marks has his hearing the day after tomorrow. And before he posts bail and comes home, I have a task to complete.

Tyler: Yeah? What's that?

Moses: I need to talk to the pastor's family, convince them to rethink their statement. Teller's protecting them. I need you to find out where.

Tyler: We do business together. Ain't like I'm going to no biker barbecues.

Moses: One-Niners have been connected to SAMCRO for a couple of decades. We know how tight you are with Teller. In light of this recent betrayal, that bond concerns Mr. Marks. Makes him wonder where your loyalties lie.

Tyler: I'm here, man. We're with August.

Moses: Prove it.

Tyler: There's a guy that runs their support crew. T.O. He probably knows.

Moses: Grim Bastards?

Wendy: He needs to talk to someone.

Gemma: He's five. Doesn't need a shrink.

Jax: Well, he needs something! I mean, if he did this to himself...

Tig: Well... you're right, baby. About me. About everything. This is my crisscross. Because when I'm with you, I don't have any secrets. I mean, I can't. I-I ha... I have to open myself up for this. And... you see everything. All the things that I hide. All the shit that I hate about myself. You see it all, baby. You see it all. And through all that, you still love me? Wow. I mean, man, I've never had that ever with anyone. In any box, you know? But when I try to get close... you know, to feel...

Venus: Normal.

Tig: Yeah.

Venus: Yeah.

Tig: Yes. I-I, I just, I can't hook it up.

Venus: I-I understand...

Tig: No, let me finish, baby. But I want to. I want to. I want to feel... what it's like... for you to be mine. I want to be able to go anywhere, anyplace with you... being mine. Come on, baby. Why don't you just go get yourself cleaned up. Put on a pretty dress. Put those flowers back in your hair. 'Cause I want to hear your lilt when you say my name. 'Cause you are my, my sweet, my beautiful... Venus.

Gemma: Yeah, you know. At least for a while. Till the shit gets sorted out with Abel.

Wendy: I don't mind. I was gonna make some tea.

Jax: Sounds nice.

(Footsteps approaching) Hey, buddy. What are you doing up?

Abel: May I have some water, please?

Wendy: I got it.

( Water pouring )

Jax: Abel, come here.

Wendy: Here you go, buddy.

Abel: Thank you.

Wendy: You're welcome.

Jax: Why don't you sit down for a minute? I want to tell you something, Abel. And I want you to try to really understand, okay?

Abel: Okay.

Jax: You remember when I told you that me and Mommy got married after you were born? When you were already three?

Abel: Yeah.

Jax: And that you didn't come out of Mommy's tummy the way Thomas did? Well, that's because you came out of another mommy's tummy. Do you know whose tummy that was? It was Wendy's. Wendy was your first mommy. You came out of her tummy. That's kind of crazy, right? You see, Daddy and Wendy, we used to be married. But we realized that we were better off just being friends. But that's why she's here now. To help take care of you now that you need a mommy. Okay? I just want you to know there are so many people that love you, Abel. No matter what happens, you're always gonna have a daddy and a mommy that are gonna do their best for you.

Wendy: Hey. You want to ask me anything, baby?

Abel: No.

Jax: Well, we can talk about it whenever you want. Or not, okay? It's up to you. All right. Why don't you go get back into bed? I'll come in in a minute and tuck you in. All right.

Wendy: Oh, buddy. Good night.

( Sniffles )

(Kettle whistling) Oh, Jesus, Jax. A little heads up would've been nice.

( Kettle continues whistling )

( Whistling stops )

Jax: You okay?

Wendy: Thank you.

(Sniffles) What kind of tea do you want?

Jax: The kind that goes good with a sh*t of Jameson.

( Grunting )

Jax: I love you, son.

Abel: Love you, Daddy.

Jax: All right. Get some sleep.

Abel: Daddy?

Jax: Yeah?

Abel: Is Wendy my first mommy 'cause I came out of her tummy?

Jax: Yeah. That's right.

Abel: So, is that why Grandma k*lled my other mommy? So my first mommy could be here with me?
