If Sons of Anarchy is about Jax's heroic journey, I can foresee him coming back to struggle with things, and in the end choosing to lead a better life for both him and his family.

If the events of this week's episode ring true to his actual motives, it seems Jax has chosen the dark side for the time being. He then struggled for a couple of seasons with what he wanted for his life and the life of his children. Jackson started the series as a guy that didn't really want the outlaw life. The big question is what does this do to Jax. No matter what the reason, I hold John Teller in such high esteem that I automatically dislike these two characters much more than I already did. Because he wasn't into the outlaw ways of the club? Was he a rat? Jax's comments about not being like his father make it seem that way. He was murdered, or at least ordered to death, by Clay and Gemma. The man that this whole series may well be about. It was implied since the beginning, but stated here that the leaders of the club we are supposed to have feelings for murdered the founder of Sons of Anarchy. So what will Jax's mindset be next season? He's committed to Gemma and Clay more than ever, making the dilemma of what he'll do when he learns the truth about their past with his father utterly fascinating to ponder. Now that Jax has made his choice to say 'screw you dad, I'm going with Mom and Clay,' I thought Opie was my only hope of a Son staying semi-straight. I know Stahl is an awful human being, who played a large role in the death of Donna, but I did not want to see Opie as an executioner. Now, I was not surprised at all to see Chibs slice up Jimmy with scars not unlike his own before murdering him, but I was a bit shocked by Opie's murderous ways. I really had forgotten that Chibs and Opie were not with the rest of the crew up until I saw them arrive to the scene in the school bus. It was nice to see SAMCRO, and the show itself, let those who had been hurt by Jimmy O and Stahl, respectively, be the ones to finish them off. I don't get why the club would have been so outraged with Jackson. I understand that ratting anything or anyone out to the Feds is a huge no-no in the outlaw business, but Jax was getting Gemma out of prison, severely shortening SAMCRO's sentence, and screwing over some Irish that none of them were close to. At the same time ,though, as for a majority of the season, I wondered what the big deal was. Nice acting by both Charlie Hunnam as Jackson Teller in that moment, as the ATF thought they had won, Jimmy O thought he was escaping death, and I thought Jax was screwed with his club. Neither Stahl, the Russians, nor I knew what was going on.
