Albification
Tue, Sep 8, 200955 mins
With the disappearance of the witness against him, Bobby is released from prison. Returning to Charming after several weeks away, Opie fully commits himself to SAMCRO, demanding revenge for Donna's murder, which Clay convinces him was perpetrated by a Mayan. Thanks to a tip from Hale, however, Jax is well aware Clay and Tig were behind the murder, but decides that keeping the truth from Opie is the best course of action for now. Although SAMCRO are still in financial difficulty, when Cameron and his son Edmond (Callard Harris) propose a lucrative new deal, distributing fully assembled automatic handguns throughout California, Clay is reluctant, wanting to stick to their usual arrangement - they buy wholesale, assemble the weapons themselves, and sell them on. However, Jax ignores his concerns, and brings the proposal to a vote. Meanwhile, at the invitation of Hale's brother Jacob (Jeff Kober), who is sick of SAMCRO blocking economic progress in Charming, the League of American Nationalists, a white separatist group led by Ethan Zobelle (Adam Arkin), arrives in town, and makes a brutal statement of intent.

After Gemma is gang-raped by members of the League, she finds herself unable to tell either Clay or Jax, instead turning to Tara and Unser for help. When Álvarez finds the Mayan killed by Opie, he mistakenly believes the 9ers responsible and asks Clay to sell him as many AKs as possible.

Fix
Tue, Sep 22, 200955 mins
SAMCRO rent Luann their empty warehouse and become her 50/50 partner in the porn business, meaning they're earning legitimate income, although Clay has some stern advice for Jax concerning the consequences of his decisions. With the Mayans interrupting the Sons' gun sale to the 9ers, Clay becomes concerned about Opie's state of mind after he takes unnecessary risks. Zobelle, who tipped off the Mayans to the sale, elects not to tell his right hand man AJ Weston (Henry Rollins) that he has been in contact with Álvarez. The League then cook up a "temporary problem" to give Hale ammunition to use against SAMCRO, while the Sons develop their own suspicions that Hale may be working with the League, despite Jax assuring them that Hale cannot be bought. Gemma's secret begins to affect her relationship with Clay, but she and Tara continue to grow closer. When Opie and Half-Sack witness a drug deal, they realise the Nords are selling in Charming again, but this time supported by the League. Meanwhile, Clay suggests Bobby should do Luann's book-keeping, much to her chagrin, and one of her porn stars, Ima Tite (Kristen Renton), develops a fondness for Jax.

When Bobby discovers that Luann has been skimming from SAMCRO for over six years, she persuades him to keep it to himself by seducing him. Despite his hatred for Zobelle, Hale finds himself beginning to accept the League's plan to undermine SAMCRO by temporarily flooding Charming with drugs. However, he's unaware that both SAMCRO and Unser know he buried information about Darby's meth-house and is thus complicit with the League to a degree. As Clay's arthritis begins to worsen, tensions between him and Jax escalate when they disagree over strategy for rescuing Tig after he is captured by bounty hunters in Oregon. When Clay makes a decision without taking it to a vote, Opie decides to talk to him about the conflict with Jax.

In an effort to assert SAMCRO's authority over Zobelle, Clay visits his cigar shop to outline how much protection money he expects. When the League bring Hale evidence of SAMCRO destroying Darby's meth-house, he proves unwilling to act on it, but they also have something else to show him. When Clay learns the county is trying to zone off Oswald's land, and he's reluctantly planning to sell it to Jacob to prevent a huge financial lose, he begins an investigation. In prison, the Aryan Brotherhood attack Otto, prompting Clay to call a meeting to decide how to shut Zobelle down.
