Jax grows weary of the increasing lawlessness of the motorcycle club he is involved with. His life becomes more unstable when he discovers his late father's true vision for the Sons of Anarchy, and his crank-addicted ex-wife gives birth to his son.

Jax suggests a non-violent way to deal with the town's new deputy police chief.

When the young daughter of a prominent family is assaulted at a carnival, the Sons of Anarchy take the law into their own hands.

When a government agent takes an interest in the gang, the club decide to stash their guns in Nevada, running into rivals the Mayans along the way.

A former Samcro member, who was the cause of Opie's arrest, creates tension at a town fundraiser. In an attempt at a huge pay-off, Clay must protect a parolee. Meanwhile, the club is still under investigation.

A small favour for Piney's old war buddy turns into a big problem for SAMCRO, and with Clay detained, Jax must step up to handle the situation.
