Bobby and Jax are on the phone together. Jax has the money ready and he needs his faithful and loyal friend to get Chibs back home safe.
"I have the money for Chibs to get out. Come pick it up."
"Sure, Jax. I'm glad this is going to work out."
"I couldn't do this without you and your help, Bobby," Jax confides to his friend.
With the ten grand, Bobby is on his way to get Chibs out on bail. Chibs is relieved when he sees Bobby appear and glad that he's finally getting out. He's been waiting too long for his freedom. He wants to be able to help the SONS once again in any way possible.
"Bobby! It's good to see ya."
"You too, Chibs. Jax and Nero came up with the money."
"Good. I need to get out of this dump," Chibs says annoyed.
They catch up and go out to the bar for a few drinks.
Meanwhile..
Mikaila and Jax are sitting down to dinner. There are candles lit, enchiladas, and tacos. It's one of their favorite meals. They are enjoying each other's company and some alone time. The dinner passes with no interruptions and with little conversation, more eye contact. After they finish, Jax does the dishes. They sit down after to talk.
"I know it's not my business, except those journal entries. You can tell me what happened. I'm not judging you. I just would really like to know why you wrote them."
"Sure. It started with my real father. When I was little before I was adopted, he'd come into my room every night and he would touch himself. He'd touch me too. He'd also hit me, call me names. I never told anyone until now. I grew up bullied in school, called every name in the book," she says with dismay and yet with some relief.
She feels so much better getting that off of her chest. There's more to the story though.
"I'm sorry that happened to you. But you became stronger and persevered. You are a good person and even though you've been through hell, you've done great things, become a better you. If I ever had a minute alone with your father though I would make him pay for what he's done to you."
"That's not all. It got even worse. I suffered a miscarriage, I had an abortion. I was a call girl. I never contracted any STD's though so don't worry I didn't give you anything I've been tested. I was a call girl for mainly women. When I couldn't get a job, even with a degree, I had to resort to desperate and risky measures. The women weren't the problem, it was their husbands. One time one of the woman's husbands came home early and caught me and her together. He beat me. Another time, a woman's husband watched us and then decided to use us both as a punching bag."
"Jesus Christ, fuck those guys! They are a bunch of cowards. I would never hurt you or cheat on you or make you do anything you didn't want me to do ever. I know I've made mistakes but I would never support hurting women," he tells her with sincerity.
"What I've been through led me ultimately to write some dark things but I decided to take those names and degrading words and turn them into something strong. I've never told anyone else the full story before. I couldn't bring myself to do it and I never trusted anyone enough to do it. Now I'm pregnant again and I'm with someone I love. I feel that I can get through whatever else life throws at me now," she tells him with confidence.
Her past was killing her and she was letting it eat away at her. She has finally found something to live for.
"I need to tell you something. My widow, Tara faked a pregnancy and miscarriage, blamed my mother, and then she planned to get away and take my sons with her. I hated her so much for it. I cheated on her again to get back at her because I was so angry and I let it build up inside of me. Looking back on it I kind of see why she went there and felt trapped and did what she did. A part of me will always care for her but I want you."
"That's a lot to take in. I'm here for you and I'm staying. I won't leave you. This is all happening for a reason and I want to stay. Even though things can get complicated with this gang business and even with us, I already love this baby and I love you," she tells him with conviction.
"I can promise to try and I will be there for you. I'll provide you with everything you need. I'm so glad that you're in my life. I'm grateful for us meeting and becoming so involved with each other's lives. I'm far from a perfect person but I can promise to be there for our baby," he says with pride.
They spend some time watching a movie and holding each other, kissing. They have finally revealed some of their deepest secrets to each other. Both of them feel as if a weight has been lifted from their shoulders. Jax reads a story to his sons and they fall fast asleep. Mikaila is sitting there, watching him and feeling so in love.
Cut to-Tig at Saint Thomas hospital.
Tig is distressed and at wits end. His precious girlfriend, Venus has been brutally shot by two neo-nazis. She has been shot by mistake; they meant to take out Tig. She's in critical condition and badly hurt. The bullets unfortunately hit a major artery in her arm and neck. Tig calls Jax.
"Jax, I'm at the hospital. Venus is hurt. She's been shot. Will you come?" he asks distressed.
"Yes of course. God what happened?"
"I'll explain when you come down here. Some shit went down. The bullets were meant for me. She was shot instead."
"Ok I'm there."
