What I’m Watching: Sons of Anarchy


Sons of Anarchy: Season 4, Episode 11 “Call of Duty” (A-)

Just when this show seems like it can’t get any more intense, it does just that. The condition of Gemma’s face is appalling to everyone who sees it, yet no one really does all that much about it, save for Unser, who tells Clay he’ll kill him if he ever hurts her again, and Tig, who feels compelled to turn in his sergeant-at-arms patch. Wendy’s return couldn’t have come at a worse time, and it upset Tara enough for her to damage her hand even more. Hopefully, Tara’s Providence job will still come through, though something tells me Jax isn’t getting out of this anytime soon. Kozik’s death was a startling moment, over so quick and not mourned until long after the Sons and the cartel had vacated the minefield. Juice’s quick trek back through the minefield was frightening, and I was surprised that he came clean with Chibs about his father’s identity. It’s a good thing that Chibs didn’t mind, but Juice calling in to check in with Linc right after that means that his loyalties are now divided. The club has to worry much more about Otto, who wants his execution moved up as part of his terms and also wants to be able to talk to Bobby face-to-face. Georgie was never going to survive for long, but his death was still chilling, as Bobby promised not to kill him before having Opie and Tig shoot up the trunk. Opie’s frustration with learning the truth about Jax wanting to get out is understandable, and he’s about to be a hell of a lot more mad. Unser telling him that Clay killed him was a smart move, but I just hope that this doesn’t lead to too many more dead bodies.
