Complete story — includes the ending

Agent Stahl returns to Charming on the heels of Cameron Hayes and the IRA, and Hale reluctantly catches her up on things, including the fracture between Clay and Jax. Behind bars, SAMCRO is eager to make alliances, and Laroy Wayne 's cousin Russell offers the protection of the Black Guerrilla Family in exchange for the lives of two traitors. The gang use Juice as sex bait for the first traitor: Juice lures him to the infirmary where he is beaten by members of the Family. Upon his return to the prison yard, Juice is shanked by members of the Aryan Brotherhood. Opie frames the second traitor by planting cocaine in her car, then tipping off a SAMCRO ally, Sheriff Vic Trammel. When Trammel attempts to arrest the target, he is shot. Stahl interrogates Clay on the IRA, and wounds his ego by suggesting that Jax is the real brains behind the club. Upon returning to lock up, Clay slugs Jax, and Bobby stops the others from breaking up the ensuing fight so that Clay and Jax have the chance to sort things out. Stahl watches the fight with amusement until it is broken up. When Stahl interrogates Jax, he gives her nothing, but asks about Agent Josh Kohn, warning her that "it's dangerous to be a fed." Opie starts getting close with Lyla, a pornstar in Luann's employ. Gemma turns to Elliott Oswald for help posting the club's exorbitant bail, but he declines. Gemma shares a heart-to-heart with his daughter Tristen, who was also raped. Eventually, Elliott comes around, but he tells Gemma that Charming won't stay a small town forever.
