TV Review - Sons of Anarchy (Season 7 - Episode 3)

Season 7x3 - Playing with Monsters

Jax's plan, which was only revealed in the last episode, is now in full swing; his hate for Henry Lin knows no bounds. However, a meeting with August Marks at the top of the episode serves to put more hurdles in the way of the club's revenge, not that Jax cares. The vengeful president is now trying to buy the loyalty of the One-Niners gang in their bid to destroy the Triads and hide everything from August... can you say overly complicated?

Like a deadly spider, Jax is spinning a web of lies and deceit. It's hard to keep track of who he is being honest with and who will end the episode with a hole in their head courtesy of the Sons. Charlie Hunnam plays the part so well, it's hard to tell which way the scene will go.

The club finally meet the town's new sheriff. I still don't know what to make of Annabeth Gish in the role but I have a feeling that's Sutter's plan.

The meeting between Chibs and Juice was wrought with emotion. Both actors are superb without going overboard. No long speeches and no large gestures but everything is done with just a few looks. There is no going back for Juice whilst Chibs still has love for his brother despite what he said. It was heartrending when Chibs revealed his true feelings by admitting that Juice needed to leave town; there was no need for further words.

Jimmy Smits is, by far, still my favourite character and it's sad to see his further descent into the gang life. He is too nice to kill off so please Mr. Sutter, let him have a (semi) happy ending.
