^^^all of jax's actions or non actions are due to the hanging rico case. thats why he had tara giving inadvertant handjobs to otto and all this manuevering. kill clay and the club woulda been dead because the irish wont deal w/ anyone else but the old man, thus squashing all leverage w/ the feds. i get clay not being dead YET, but if rico goes away, unless the feds bring something else into play to hold over the SONs heads (which you kinda expect. its just how cops/the law works. they keep on using all your continuous dirt against you---just look at juice---and keep you on a string.
jax really being clay's son really would be a mindfukk.
