Last week, on the fifth season opener of Sons of Anarchy, we were in for a bit of shock, and so was Tig, who unfortunately had to witness his daughter Dawn's gruesome muder. She was burned to death by newcomer Pope, the father of the woman Tig killed in season four.
A brutal start to a brutal season? Most likely, yes.
Let Tig Mourn, at Least for a Minute: While Jax and Gemma are away in the safe-keeping of Nero's whorehouse (remember, Nero is the nice-seeming pimp played by Jimmy Smits. Still having a tough time getting over that one? Because we are), word comes of Tig's misfortune, and the gang rushes off to the man's side. Once there, the men burn the Niners responsible for the deed in the pit where Tig's daughter was killed. And, yes, revenge is as gruesome and bloody on this show as ever.
Let's Get Married: Gemma and Clay are in the unfortunate position of having to deal with police after their place is trashed. "Do you have any idea who would do with such a thing?" the police ask. And the usual response of "hell no" is all the response anyone with a badge will get in return. Meanwhile, Jax hears of the ransacking and makes sure all the guys are aware of the risk the Niners possess. But he's also aware of the threat as well, so he has a proposition for his ladylove, Tara: "Let's get married. Today." Sure, they happen to be standing in a brothel when he says it, but love is love, right? "I'll make the arrangements," she replies. Big kiss.
