Complete story — includes the ending

Tara is suspended from the hospital when the administrator discovers that she coached Chibs on faking symptoms to extend his stay. Chibs is released and has a meeting with Jimmy O'Phelan, who excommunicated him from the IRA decades earlier, stole his wife Fiona, and raised their daughter Kerrianne. Jimmy wants Chibs to broker a meeting between Clay and the IRA to re-establish their gun trade; when Chibs refuses, Jimmy threatens the safety of his ex-wife and Kerrianne. Chibs turns to Agent Stahl, offering to inform on the IRA in exchange for his family's safety. Stahl and the ATF raid the IRA's safehouse and arrest Edmond Hayes. During a routine repossession, Opie and Half-Sack find crates of home-made bullets in a repo'ed car. They trace the bullets back to an Indian reservation, and make a deal with the tribe to buy bullets and psilocybin mushrooms. Tig samples the mushrooms and has a bad trip, breaking down over the guilt of killing Donna. Unser tells SAMCRO that Cara Cara was burnt down by a group of men, exonerating Clay. Jax apologizes for suspecting Clay and asks him if he still wants Jax gone; Clay says that he does. At a meeting, Jax secures the votes he needs to be released from SAMCRO, and Jax cuts the charter's patches from his vest. Desperate to keep her family together, Gemma comes clean about her rape at the hands of Weston. Jax reclaims his charter patches.
