Sons of Anarchy: Season 7, Episode 6 “Smoke ‘em If You Got ‘em” (B+)
Some things end up being much more drawn-out and harrowing than expected, and others sort themselves out much more quickly and easily than anticipated. Juice didn’t waste any time in returning to Charming after escaping from Gemma, and he delivered himself right into the hands of Marcus Alvarez, who traded Juice for what may well be the only lasting truce that SAMCRO is able to negotiate before the series signs off next month. Their meeting with the Aryan Brotherhood didn’t go as planned, but it seems that all they needed was to vent their collective frustrations with each other by throwing a few punches. The body count continues to rise in a way that’s just out of control, best exemplified by the literal pile of bodies that SAMCRO brought to the AB as a twisted peace offering. Gemma’s trip north featured this season’s third very special guest appearance after Marilyn Manson and Courtney Love, from Lea Michele of “Glee” fame. I’m not sure why it was a necessary guest spot other than to show compassion for a clearly crazy Gemma, but there was nothing bad or excessive about it. As Gemma is telling her story to the police to ensure that Lin won’t get out of prison, it seems like Nero is firmly on her side despite his being kept in the dark constantly getting him into trouble. It’s just a question of how many more people have to die before Gemma – or likelier Juice – comes clean about who really killed Tara.
