'Sons of Anarchy' recap: An attack of the heart

Episode Four made me want to bust out a bottle of Jameson -- and smash it over the head of Father Ashby. Then join Jax for a shot -- or three -- of Johnnie Walker and help him hunt for his son.

I hear the Irish highlands are quite lovely from the saddle of a well-tuned bike. And so is the Europa, the most bombed hotel in Belfast, and possibly all of Europe.

The 10 Gs Opie got for his Panhead probably won't cover a night's pub crawl in Northern Ireland, considering how SAMCRO drinks. But it's looking less and less likely the MC will head to Vancouver, Canada, now that Gemma has sent her dad packing to the old folks' home and stolen Tara's car to get back to Charming only to find an empty crib.

Hopefully Tara's got the proper meds in her doctor bag to treat Gemma's heart attack so the club gets the message and can book their flights out of Dodge. If Tara doesn't, I'm sure SAMCRO, with its massive substance abuse issues, knows someone who does and can wheel it up to the clubhouse, stat. If the club's skipping bail, they might as well skip it big. Or, as Katey Sagal sings over the closing montage of this week's show, they have to find their way to be free.

Check Show Tracker later Wednesday for an interview with Sagal about her singing contributions to the show.

Good show - except for the house shootout scene which was a little cheesy and unconvincing - but overall very suspenseful. I truly enjoy this series more each time I watch it. It is improving with age.

And the previews clearly show Gemma in a hospital bed . . .

FX ROCKS!

I agree, another great show. The shootout at the Rx ladies place was a little on the "seriously..." side, however the show still seems to be getting better and better.

Can't wait for the MC to say hello to Father Ashby in Belfast, as I see it playing out something how the Weston storyline ended up last season, bloody.

...This is what constitutes as a recap? Wow, good 5-10 minutes you spent on it. The show has a lot going on, you'd think there'd be more to write about.
