What happened last week had a lot of impact on what took place here. The attempted hit on Clay and Ernie came back to hurt the Mayans. The failed hits cost another Mayan his life.

A lot of this first season has showed the struggle Jax has had. He’s really not into all of the violence that the club has been involved with. This week, Jax had to deal with the fact that he killed the ATF agent. It wasn’t made any easier when he stayed with Tara and didn’t go to the club when he learned of the attempted hit on Clay. It was very balsy (crazy) for Tig to put his foot and then his hand on Jax’s bike. It was very disrespectful.

Jax’s commitment to the club has come into question from a few people, as has Opie’s. He and Donna aren’t doing very well because Opie’s about to lose his job and they still have money problems. Opie may love being in the club, but he’s killing his family by not committing to his job. I feel sorry for Donna in all of this. Opie doesn’t seem like the killer type and when it came down to it, he proved he couldn’t get it done when he choked on the hit. He’s not cut out for this work anymore.

There were a few surprising moments in “Hell Forward,” but none better than the Mayans giving up one of their own in exchange for peace. It’s hard to imagine a father sacrificing his son like that. Wow.
