I really enjoyed this episode. I think it's pivotal to how the rest of the season will play out. You can see how the club is beginning to chose sides in the Jax v. Clay debacle, which I think will be key in future episodes. Also, I think with the church scene, Gemma's secret is beginning to wear on her, and I forsee her spilling in the near future, which will make for very good television, I believe. The only complaint I have is that I think this fued needs to be resolved in the very near future. It's been dragged out long enough, and it's time to figure it out, and go one way or the other. I would prefer the club reconciles, but we will see.moreless
