1. Review the official synopsis: "Incited by Zobelle, Clay sets a course for retaliation, forcing Jax to turn to an unlikely source to save the club from destruction. Gemma shows Tara how an old lady handles her anger."
2. Let's take a look at the preview for tonight's episode
3. Since last week's title had revealing implications on the episode's story line, let's review our high school biology class for this week. A falx cerebri is "also known as the cerebral falx, so named from its sickle-like form, is a strong, arched fold of dura mater which descends vertically in the longitudinal fissure between the cerebral hemispheres."
And let us not miss the overall Hamlet skull reference in the title. Our dear Hamlet contemplated life and the mystery of death while holding Yorkic's skull in the graveyard. I wonder if we might see Jax hold a model skull in the hospital while learning about Chibs' prognosis.
My speculations for Falx Cerebri are:
- Clay is going to go off and retaliate against Zobelle whether he has majority support or not. I think the temper tantrum he appears to throw in Impeccable Smokes alludes this.
- Jax will either go along on the retaliation trip reluctantly or he will abstain entirely out of principle.
- Jax will probably turn to Hale and Darby. Kurt Sutter's recent blog post hints at the working class/elite divide amongst hate groups.
- I have no idea how an old lady handles anger but I'm interested in picking up any tips I can.
- I'm going to assume that the title of this episode will have multiple meanings which may include: a member of the MC serving as the division between the two hemispheres of the club, the role that Darby and Hale play in separating SAMCRO from Principal Zobelle's white separatists, the duality of Jax's temperament that we saw a bit in Smite - ranging from thoughtful/pensive to explosive/impulsive, and I suspect that Chibs will have damaged his falx cerebri in the explosion
