Synopsis:



Per Wiki, Gilead means "hill of testimony or mound of witness," so make of that what you will. We're now halfway through the season.

Wow.

That scene between Jax and the Fed was out of this world. He's going to win this battle with Clay in the end.

Loved the fight with Clay and Jax. Glad Juice didnt have to take one for the team.

The last scene was good.

I like Opie and the porn chick, hopefully sje'll bring Opie out of his haze.

"You ever hear from Kohn? Being a Fed sure is dangerous" (or something to that effect)... real nice finish to that scene.

She's gotta be pissed off that the club keeps getting the upper hand and she's not able to manipulate them. It will be interesting to see how things with the SAMCRO/IRA/Zobelle triangle play out.

Great great episode, really enjoyed it

Loved the prison scenes.

Not sure why Clay laid into Jax after the interview with the FBI Lady ??

I don't like the Jax v Clay stuff as much. I want them to sort out Zorbelle first before worrying about their beef

Jax is starting to annoy me now .

Kohn was that dude who was stalking Jax's girl right, the ATF guy?

My guess is because her knowing about Jax's dissension in the ranks means other outsiders might know. Top that off with Jax working with Hale and it makes the club look weak because it's being pulled in two directions.

Clay laid into Jax because it was a fast and brutal reminder to the club, the FBI chick and Jax who is in charge.

Didn't like the jail scenes, they jammed too much (no pun) into what was apparently their first (and only) day of jail time. Arranging protection, jax out in the yard setting up the dude in the infirmary, juice getting shanked, clay & jax fight, stahl there to interview them, opie setting up that chick etc..They should have spread those events over a few days at least.

Because of FBI Lady's comment about Donna

Dave i agree the prison dynamics could have taken 3-4 eps, in a 22 ep season that may have been possible

I loved the episode! This show just gets better and better.

The scene with Jax and Stahl was awesome, especially his comment about Kohn.

I'm not crazy about the stuff between Jax and Clay, but if they're going to do it, I hope they don't drag it on too long. I agree with OD about the club taking care of Zobelle first. That should be top priority.

(However, within the club, if it's not going to work out, I want to see Jax take control. But that would also change the show completely, because it would change the club I think, so maybe that's not such a good wish.)

when i saw the Episode title, i immediatelty thought of Roland from Stephen King's 'Dark Tower' books. He was from a place called Gilead

when i saw the ep title, i thought Jihad ! i thought it was a funky way of saying it and we were gonna get a huge showdown

Well, Im not too big on the Jax and Clay stuff either, but I think we have to get used to it because this is what the show is all about... Its always going to be the main, underlying theme going on. But another stellar episode.

I love the Clay/Jax stuff - I think the 'politics' of the club has been very interesting.

I do agree that the prison stuff was rushed.

I think that there is no easy way to resolve the Jax/Clay without the "big reveal". I am pleased that I have no idea where they will do with this.

I do like the very slow, gradual development in the relationship between Tara and Gemma. The change from adversaries to allies has been well done.

Thos.

prison stuff was good, although the continue to perpetuate my pet peeve in that they wouldn't be locked up in a prison. they'd be in a jail. outside of that, was great episode.

Yeah - I could have nitpicked that. No way you go to state pen like that 1 day after arrest.

I couldn't figure out why there were so many people doing hard time in county lockup. The unis were marked SJCCF for San Joaquin County Correctional Facility. Just another facet of the show that it's best to overlook I guess.

Yeah, I thought they said they were at county lockup, but it sure didn't look like it.

This beat Jay Leno in the ratings.

The Clay/Jax conflict is a copy of a plot line from The Shield which was used towards the end of its run though.

brilliant.
