Sons of Anarchy, Season 3, Episode 3, Caregiver Preview

What do we have in store this week for Sons of Anarchy, entitled Caregiver? Well, for once the official official synopsis from the FX website is not irritatingly vague this week. It is as follows:
To secure weapons and raise money for Abel's search, the club exploits its porn connections to entertain Henry Lin's clients, which doesn't sit well with Opie. Jax's decisions to search for Abel in Canada gets derailed. When Gemma's dad goes MIA, her prisoner makes plans to do the same. 
It seems as if we're about to get some more insight on that bit of foreshadowing about tensions in Opie and Lyla's relationship. Is the Opester really okay with his old lady being a porn star? Are there boundaries like no coke and no anal? I guess we'll find out.

Now, on to the preview that has seemingly nothing to do with the synopsis.

It looks like we're going to spend a good bit of time at what @TVKel calls the "Gemma Annex" in Nate Madoc's house. I wonder if everyone is going to converge at the Gemma Annex because of Nate's disappearance. Don't forget that Stephen King makes a guest appearance to... ahem... clean up a particular situation. Maybe it's Tig's Guatemalan Hottie. Maybe it's someone who was found at the wrong end of Nate Madoc's rifle. Your guess is as good as mine. If this photo is any indication, shit isn't going to be pretty (BTW, I got this from Daemon's TV you can see this pic and a few others from the episode here.)
While you're wasting time at work on Tuesday anticipating Caregiver, you can check out some of my favorite reviews of Oiled, including Alan Sepinwall's review that includes some good thoughts on the hospital administrator, Mo Ryan's review breaks it down by location, and Kel Kendrick has a great breakdown of the Tarjaxa dynamics. Finally, The Crow Blogger has a brand-spanking new post up about mothers, sons, and Sons of Anarchy, and the Watchers of Anarchy and Girl of Mayhem are podcasting their hearts out and recapping the episodes in audio format

Also, is Gemma finally going to find out about Abel during this episode? What do you think her reaction might be?

  1. I hope Tara can come to Gemma's rescue with the 'Guatamalan hottie.' She needs some redemption. Maybe ease the Abel guilt a bit. I say Gemma doesn't find out until next week or so. I'm totally having a hard time believing that if anyone was REALLY looking for Gemma, they wouldn't have made a stop at her parents' house already. But... eh. We'll see.

  2. I'm really disliking the Guatemalan. And the whole Gemma Annex storyline...I want to see Jax kicking ass around North America and Europe to get his son back!

    But, then again, I am a man.

    I'm also REALLY interested in 1) Kozik/Tig beef, and 2) Jimmy O's "plan" to "push out" the Sons...

    On item #2, I am assuming he is either meaning A) from gun-running in general or B) Pushing Sam Bell from Belfast. From small comments in Season 2 it seems that SOA figures themselves in control of Belfast, and therefore in control of the IRA's freedom to move.

  3. Agreed, Allie. Tara totally needs some redemption. I could give a rat's ass if Jax blames her or forgives her of whatever but the girl needs to forgive herself.

    How much longer can they continue keeping Gemma in the dark? I agree that ATF doesn't seem to be looking for her very hard. At all. Wonder if it's a weakness in the plot or there is something else going on.

    Brian, I'm sure the ass-kicking will come but seriously, you are not liking the Gemma Annex story line?

    I'm interested to see what the Council/Jimmy's plan is to push SAMCRO out of.... well.... something.... idk.
