This episode was a tense and shocking ride through Jax's plan to get the motorcycle club out of the gun business. The pressure between SAMCRO and Gaalan had been building all season, and it all came to a violent end when Jax's real plans made themselves known.
I must admit that I did not at all expect Sons of Anarchy to take its courage in both hands and finally face what we have been waiting for for quite some time now. Especially since Clay, since he is in prison, is not necessarily of much use but I must admit that there are still quite a few very good ideas here and there. Especially from the point of view of how Clay sees his last moments coming. I've already thought about the fact that Clay has to die, especially because it ultimately happens at an almost unexpected time. I didn't expect Sons of Anarchy to dare to kill Clay at all. Especially because Ron Perlman was for a long time one of the emblematic figures of the series. Seeing him die at the hands of Jax was even more impressive but that's just the twist in something else. In any case, Sons of Anarchy delivers a breathtaking scene, gripping the guts thanks to a sober and rapid staging, and a leaden silence. The death knell being sounded by the gunshot.
The pathos that the show tries to manage during Clay's final moments was brilliant. Especially because Sons of Anarchy is not just a violent series with action scenes on motorcycles, it is also a drama. It's a story of friendship, love and encounters. This season is also the most emblematic from this point of view with the story of Tara which allowed the series to make us discover another aspect of her personality.
