The antics surrounding ATF Agent Cole finally came to a close this week, though he left a mark on Jax in the process.
How much truth Clay and company reveal at any one particular time is never entirely clear. Truth and lies are always a big part of this show. Samcro needs to keep its secrets, but some of them were unburied when an excavation crew came upon three bodies along a highway. Clay’s initial story was that they were three Mayans that were killed during the wars of 1993. The story changed once Jax learned that one of the bodies was that of a member of Samcro.
Lowell’s old man, it seems, was a low-down dirty junkie and rat and had to be dealt with. Jax didn’t know all of this, of course. Clay only told Lowell about this. I was very happy that Clay didn’t kill Lowell this week. Clay promised Lowell’s father that he would look out for his boy and here we see Clay about to do the same with Lowell, over a decade later. It’s good that Clay decided to stop this trend. I hope Lowell is ready to get his act clean.
Johnny Lewis as Half Sack
Half-Sack put on quite a show for the club this week. Never would I have expected him to be a brawler. He looks like more of a scrapper, barely able to take care of himself, but the writers seem to have given him a new image, even if it’s for one episode. I found the incident in the ring rather funny. Clay’s timing his approval of Cherry’s stay came at a rather bad time.
Agent Cole kept going overboard this week. His urinating in the baby’s room was beyond anything anything I expected he would do. I never thought he’d go that low. By the end of the episode, he was being squeezed out of town by just about everyone.
I liked the brief scene between Jax and Tara towards the end. Between the feds and his mother, the actions and intentions of Jax and Tara are being questioned, so it only seemed natural for Jax to ask Tara about what her intentions are. Still, I don’t see the two of them getting together again anytime soon. There may still be something there, but there’s not much of a spark there anymore.
“Old Bones” was a very good episode. There may not have been quite as many funny moments as I would like to see, but the constant action kept things moving at a steady pace. Also, trying to determine who’s being truthful and how truthful is something that’s always keeping my mind working as the show goes forward.
