Update 2! - Sons of Anarchy - Screen Caps - 'The Culling' - S2xE12 - Spoilers - Promo - S2xE11 - 'Service' Recap Video

The screen cap photo in the slideshow of 'Zobelle' (Adam Arkin) being restrained by Opie (Ryan Hurst) whilst Clay (Ron Perlman) gets up close and personal is very cool. I cannot wait to see what becomes of Mr. Zobelle in the hands of the husband of the woman (played by Katey Sagal) whose Zobelle's thugs gang raped. Oh suh-weet vengeance shall be Clay's (and Gemma's)!

The entire SAMCRO family goes on lockdown inside the clubhouse as Jax and Clay prepare to battle The League.   A.J. Weston learns the truth about Ethan Zobelle's business dealings in Charming.  Applying what she has learned from Gemma, Tara ensures her position at St. Thomas Hospital. From: FXnetworksSOA2

.. Symbolically speaking, in the aftermath of Gemma's (Katey Sagal) revelation about her gang rape, the club pulls up the gates, mans battle stations and puts the fortress on DEFCON 1-level war readiness...

Someone's secret is outed in a very public, very dire-for-them way.

From the promo it appears that 'someone' is Adam Arkin's "Zobelle."

EDIT/Now I'm not sure. I thought the big reveal was that Zobelle was dealing drugs to the Mayans behind Weston's back and once Weston found out....well it was not dire for either of them though Weston took out three people in about 5 seconds bang...bang...bang. Weston had a gun on Zobelle and could've killed him--and didn't.

 Someone appears to be granted a long-desired wish.

EDIT/So is this "Half-Sack" getting full status and the Sons geared up for war? I was surprised that they didn't' even call a meeting--just a few words from the more senior members including Clay.

 Bitches get their comeuppance.

Zobelle's daughter, who faked Gemma out, whacked her over the head, and took her to be gang-raped? Or perhaps the 'bitch' is Zobelle himself?

EDIT/ It appears I was half right in guessing Zobelle's daughter, 'Polly'. Though Agent Stahl was stymied in her efforts to arrest Irish drug kingpin, Jimmy O, Tara was not at all stymied in her effort to help along with the comeuppance of the hospital administrator who had been a total nasty bitch toward her. Go Tara! Probably my favourite part in this episode.

It's a huge ep for Henry Rollins, whose A.J. Weston unleashes even more of the virulent fury we've believed to be in him all along.

I would love to see Weston head closer to where we all know he's going--a very special kind of hell.

EDIT/ Welp. He almost got it. Once again Deputy Chief Hale came along and balled things up.

At the beginning of the year, it seemed that season two would be kind of a quiet year for Tara (Maggie Siff) as she became more comfortable with the club and her new found relationship with Jax (Charlie Hunnam). Well, let's just say it's not a quiet year after all. As still waters run deep, it seems our girl Tara was making some significant life choices while appearing to sit quietly on the sidelines. We'll see those choices onscreen for the first time on Tuesday.

I dunno how surprising it will be if Tara, who has not been "sitting quietly on the sidelines"-- Example: lying so Chibs would not get a hospital transfer, facing off with Gemma multiple times, taking target practice with Gemma on a porn chick's car, helping Gemma cover up the gang-rape (arguably doctor -patient confidentiality--but the skinheads were/are a public danger--so I dunno), getting into it with Jax many times over trying to integrate the life of a SAMCRO old lady with the life she had.

Charming Police Chief Wayne Unser (Dayton Callie) is so completely simpatico with the club that we're starting to worry about him. How long can that guy play with fire and not get burned?

Or live with the fatal type of cancer he has, for that matter? One or the other will get the Chief probably sooner than later. I take no cheer in that statement. Besides Gemma, Chief is my fave.

...when Tuesday rolls around and the newly reunified and revitalized members of the Redwood Original take on their enemies, the gang is on their game in a way we haven't seen in a long time...
