12. The Culling

Complete story — includes the ending

The members of SAMCRO bring their families to the clubhouse in preparation for war with the League. Chuck Marstein also shows up, having survived the Cara Cara warehouse fire, and testifies to the police about what he saw there. When the administrator of Tara's hospital gloats over Tara's impending hearing before the medical board, Tara punches her in the face and tells her to drop the charges, lest SAMCRO pay her a visit. Stahl and her new informant Edmond Hayes attempt to trap Jimmy and SAMCRO during a gun deal at the Army/Navy surplus store the IRA uses as a front, but seal the deal in Edmond's garage while Jimmy sends a decoy crate in an SUV to the surplus store. When SAMCRO arrives at the surplus store, the ATF attempts to bust their deal. Jimmy is nowhere to be found, and when the ATF and Edmond open the decoy crate, all they find are two dead rats. Jax tells A.J. Weston that Zobelle is in league with the Mayans; when Weston finds drugs in the League safehouse, he turns on Zobelle, killing his liaison to the Mayans and two Hispanic drug packagers. Jax has Unser call Child Protective Services on Weston's kids. Jax and Weston schedule a ten-on-ten brawl to the death at a warehouse in Charming, but it is broken up midway through by the police, who arrest Weston for the arson of Cara Cara. They head to Zobelle's cigar store, but the police meet them there as well and arrest Zobelle and his daughter Polly when the former reveals that he has stashed narcotics in the store.
