Holy cow, I thought this would be just another cliffhanger, and it kept baiting me into thinking that throughout this episode. However, that's just one of the ways it surprised me, it brought so much to a close that I feel is effective. There are so many wonderful plot twists that make the admittedly slow pacing of this season completely worth it, and plenty of emotionally satisfying moments in this one, something you wouldn't hear me say I'd expect of Sons of Anarchy years before. Also, this is a complete turn around from the last season's cliffhanger, using that cliffhanger to tie up pretty much everything in the show, tying up loose ends that had been in the show for years. I'm so glad they didn't end the show here, but this is how you properly end a season.
