List of episodes

The second season of the American television drama series Sons of Anarchy premiered on September 8, 2009, and concluded on December 1, 2009, after 13 episodes aired on cable network FX. Created by Kurt Sutter, it is about the lives of a close-knit outlaw motorcycle club operating in Charming, a fictional town in California's Central Valley. The show centers on protagonist Jackson "Jax" Teller (Charlie Hunnam), the vice president of the club, who begins questioning himself.

Sons of Anarchy is the story of the Teller-Morrow family of Charming, California, as well as other members of the Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club, Redwood Original (SAMCRO), their families, various Charming townspeople, allied and rival gangs, associates, and law agencies that undermine or support SAMCRO's legal and illegal enterprises.

Plot

White separatists called the League of American Nationalists (LOAN) arrive in Charming.[1] LOAN's leader Ethan Zobelle and Zobelle's enforcer, A.J. Weston, seek to drive the Sons of Anarchy from Charming. To send a message to SAMCRO, Zobelle orchestrates to have Gemma kidnapped and gang raped by Weston and two others. Due to the improper handling of an internal problem, the rift between Clay and Jax continues to widen as Jax challenges most of Clay's decisions and comes to a head when a lone car bomb nearly kills another member of SAMCRO. The second season sees SAMCRO battling LOAN for control of Charming, Jax and Clay veering further apart in their individual visions for the club, and evading the ever-present threat of the ATF.

Production

Although Sons of Anarchy is set in Northern California's Central Valley, it is filmed primarily at Occidental Studios Stage 5A in North Hollywood. Main sets located there include the clubhouse, St. Thomas Hospital and Jax's house. The production rooms at the studio used by the writing staff also double as the Charming police station.

External scenes were often filmed nearby in Sun Valley and Tujunga.[2]

Kurt Sutter, series writer and creator, said that Half-Sack was killed off in "Na Trioblóidí" because Johnny Lewis wanted to leave the show due to creative differences; He said: "We decided we'd find some noble way for him to go. It wasn't my intent to try to be sensational and kill off a main character."[3]

IGN gave the second season an 8.4/10.0 rating, giving praise to Henry Rollins' character, AJ Weston, saying, "A decidedly stronger second season sees the gang unravel and knit back together."[6]

Writing for Chicago Tribune, Maureen Ryan called the second season "engrossing". She elaborated that "the pacing is better [and] the plotting is tighter" and commended Sagal and Perlman for their performances.[7] Variety’s Stuart Levine called the new season "compelling" and complimented the acting skill of Perlman, Sagal, Hunnam, and Siff.[8] James Poniewozik of TIME called Sagal's performance "devastatingly powerful" and named the series on his list of Top 10 Shows of 2009.[9]

SAMCRO is divided in the wake of Donna's death. Clay sets up a new gun deal with the IRA. Meanwhile, a white separatist group takes root in Charming and threatens more than just SAMCRO's control over Charming; the Michael Myers-like masked L.O.A.N. gang kidnaps and gang rapes Gemma, and tells her to stop SAMCRO from selling guns to blacks and other non-white gangs in Charming.

Police Chief Wayne Unser finds Gemma at the warehouse. Gemma calls Tara to her home for medical care. Unser crashes Gemma's car to make her injuries seem like the result of an auto accident. Luann Delaney's porn production company Cara Cara is raided by the ATF at the behest of Agent Stahl, who was attacked by Luann's imprisoned husband Otto months earlier. A rival producer, Georgie Caruso starts stealing Luann's talent, and after Jax and his men tell Caruso to back off, he hits one of her former girls, sending her to the hospital. In retaliation, the boys destroy Caruso's set. Jax has the idea to offer Luann the club's vacant warehouse as the site of a new studio with SAMCRO reaping half of the profits. The Mayans and the One-Niners both come to SAMCRO for weapons after the body of the Mayan Opie killed is discovered. A.J. Weston covertly photographs SAMCRO's initial meeting with the Niners. Zobelle informs the Mayans of SAMCRO's sale to the Niners and the Mayans ambush the exchange, and Bobby is shot in the process.

Jax and Tara's romantic day off is interrupted by a phone call from Luann, who is upset that Clay has sent Bobby to manage her bookkeeping without prior notice. Clay and Gemma also arrive on the scene, where they have a loud and public fight before Gemma breaks down crying. Bobby finds out that Luann has been skimping on payments to the club for years, and she sleeps with him to keep him quiet. Tara becomes protective of Jax when Ima, one of Luann's starlets, starts acting overly familiar with him. Zobelle and Jax each try to play Deputy Chief Hale against the other. Opie and Half-Sack discover that the Nordics are selling crystal meth in Charming, and shake down one of Darby's dealers to find out where the crank is coming from. When Hale decides not to move on the meth lab, the Sons of Anarchy do, and Opie barely makes it out after rigging the place to explode. Jax chides Opie about his death wish, reminding him that he has kids.

SAMCRO joins the rest of their club on a ride up to Oregon for a charity blood drive, and pick up handguns from Cameron Hayes to deliver in the process. When Bobby's malfunctioning bike drives Tig off the road, Tig is taken to a hospital, and after a nurse runs a background check on him, he is kidnapped by bounty hunters for an outstanding warrant. Jax argues that they rescue Tig, while Clay plans to continue with the gunrunning mission. After Tig incites the bounty hunters into attacking him, they take him to a motel, and Jax and Clay argue again over whether to rescue Tig immediately or at night, to avoid being seen. Jax rallies several of the men to leave immediately, and Piney drives a flatbed truck through the motel's wall to pull off the rescue. After the guns are delivered, Clay castigates Jax for his constant second-guessing, to which Jax reminds him of Donna's killing, which resulted from Clay's decision to kill Opie without a club vote. Clay tells Jax that if he ever mentions the incident again, Clay will kill him.

Clay and the boys make an appearance at Zobelle's cigar shop, Impeccable Smokes, to demand protection money. In response, Zobelle has Aryan Brotherhood associates attack Otto Delaney in Stockton State Prison, gouging out his one good eye. The Sons brawl with Weston and his cronies in the street. Weston gives David Hale a DVD containing video footage of Hale accepting a gift certificate to Impeccable Smokes from Ernest Darby, and another with evidence that Opie destroyed their property. Hale and Unser fight about their respective connections to Zobelle and SAMCRO. Hale's brother Jacob has a state connection threaten to seize Elliott Oswald's real estate through eminent domain under pretenses of building a highway, and then makes a lowball offer on the property. Hale recognizes his brother's tactic and notifies Jax and Clay, who interrupt Jacob's meeting and tank the deal. Hale also warns the MC that Zobelle and Weston are surveilling them. Outside a store, Gemma recognizes the woman who abducted her and attempts to chase her down, but she is picked up by Weston. Tara then startles Gemma, and Gemma accidentally breaks her nose. As punishment, Tara tries to make her see a therapist to talk about her rape. Tara has doubts about her place in the club, and Jax shows her his father's manuscript. When Chibs tries to start a van at the auto shop, it explodes, and Chibs is sent flying.

Chibs is hospitalized in critical condition with a subdural hematoma. Unser and Juice Ortiz try and fail to scrub the evidence from the lot of the auto shop. Gemma gives Tara shooting lessons, and the two destroy Ima's car outside of Cara Cara. Zobelle moves on SAMCRO's gun connection, meeting with Cameron Hayes and his son Edmond. Clay is hasty to retaliate, and Jax, who fears a trap, capitulates, as he knows that the majority will want payback. Opie tells Jax that he is on Clay's side in their dispute. Unser provides Clay with the home addresses of Zobelle and Weston. Hale, who has resolved to help the club in their war on Zobelle, accompanies SAMCRO on a raid of Weston's house, but they only find his two sons. A frustrated Clay trashes Impeccable Smokes. Gemma tells Hale about the blonde woman who abducted her, and Ernest Darby identifies her as Zobelle's daughter, Polly. At Impeccable Smokes, Hale threatens to frame Polly for aggravated assault, and she tells Hale that her father is hosting a rally at a church in Morada. He brings her into the station to keep her from warning her father. SAMCRO storms the gathering expecting to find the equivalent of a Klan rally, but they instead find a quiet gathering with several families, who flee at the sight of the heavily armed Sons of Anarchy. Jax stops Clay from killing Zobelle on camera. The San Joaquin County sheriff's department arrives and arrests everyone but Opie, who is able to slip away.

Agent Stahl returns to Charming on the heels of Cameron Hayes and the IRA, and Hale reluctantly catches her up on things, including the fracture between Clay and Jax. Behind bars, SAMCRO is eager to make alliances, and Laroy Wayne's cousin Russell offers the protection of the Black Guerrilla Family in exchange for the lives of two traitors. The gang use Juice as sex bait for the first traitor: Juice lures him to the infirmary where he is beaten by members of the Family. Upon his return to the prison yard, Juice is shanked by members of the Aryan Brotherhood. Opie frames the second traitor by planting cocaine in her car, then tipping off a SAMCRO ally, Sheriff Vic Trammel. When Trammel attempts to arrest the target, he is shot. Stahl interrogates Clay on the IRA, and wounds his ego by suggesting that Jax is the real brains behind the club. Upon returning to lockup, Clay slugs Jax, and Bobby stops the others from breaking up the ensuing fight so that Clay and Jax have the chance to sort things out. Stahl watches the fight with amusement until it is broken up. When Stahl interrogates Jax, he gives her nothing, but asks about Agent Josh Kohn, warning her that "it's dangerous to be a fed." Opie starts getting close with Lyla, a pornstar in Luann's employ. Gemma turns to Elliott Oswald for help posting the club's exorbitant bail, but he declines. Gemma shares a heart-to-heart with his daughter Tristen, who was also raped. Eventually, Elliott comes around, but he tells Gemma that Charming won't stay a small town forever.

Clay thanks Elliott Oswald by returning the bloody knife with Oswald's fingerprints. Oswald informs Clay that he'll be running against Jacob Hale for mayor of Charming, and asks for SAMCRO's support. Chibs' estranged wife, Fiona, shows up at his hospital bedside. Henry Lin and the Chinese mob are in the market for a new gun supplier, as the Mayans are quickly encroaching on their territory with weapons supplied by Zobelle's League of American Nationalists. They also foist Chucky Marstein back onto the Sons, who reluctantly take him to replace Bobby as Cara Cara's accountant. Clay visits Edmond Hayes to buy guns, but he is out of stock; the last of their supply was sold to the League, and Edmond is dating Zobelle's daughter Polly. SAMCRO attempts to steal the guns from Weston, but fail. Georgie Caruso's thugs rob Luanne's studio, stealing a camera and rough cuts and murdering Cara Cara's guard dog. Jax and his men retaliate, breaking into Caruso's studio with the help of Chucky, and steal back Luann's things. Caruso and his men retaliate by murdering Luann and dumping her body on the side of a road. Gemma plans a dinner with Tara and Lyla in hopes of burying the hatchet between Jax and Clay. At the dinner, Clay and Jax fight: Clay blames Jax's escalation for Luann's death and his absence for their failure to reclaim the guns. Jax retaliates that he isn't "the one murdering women." Gemma breaks up the fight by smashing a large platter on the table.

Ernest Darby's brothel is busted, but two of his girls also work for Cara Cara. With pressure mounting on the porn production, Clay decides that the club will shut the business down and shift its attention back to gun smuggling, by helping the Chinese mafia re-establish their connection. Jax believes that Clay is trying to undermine his attempts to legitimate the club. Clay says that the porn business has already cost the club "an old lady," and Jax brings up Donna once again. Clay reminds Jax of his promise to kill him should he say her name again, and Jax offers him the chance, claiming that Clay needs a majority vote to close Cara Cara for good. Clay sends Opie, Jax, Bobby, and Tig to intimidate a customs judge who is overseeing the mafia's gun runner's case. Unser and Gemma attend church services together. Zobelle gives Hale the location of Darby's other brothel and meth lab in the hopes that he will back the League in their dispute with SAMCRO, but Hale lets SAMCRO take care of them. Darby, angry that he has been sold out, demands that Zobelle take action against SAMCRO. Zobelle sends Darby and Weston to burn down the warehouse where Cara Cara operates, and Weston knocks Darby out before leaving him for dead in the burning warehouse. The next day, Jax arrives at the fire, and believing it to be Clay's handiwork, declares that he is leaving the club and going nomad.

Knowing that Weston will see this as the ultimate betrayal, Jax brings the information to a meeting. Clay and an unhappy Chibs meet with Jimmy O'Phelan and renew SAMCRO's gun deal with the IRA.

At the chapter meeting, Opie announces that he will stay with the club to help it change, but demands that the truth about Donna's killing not trouble his family again. He also relays that he saw Chibs with the ATF, but demands that the club hear him out. Chibs enters and comes clean of his own accord, and the group assures him that they will protect his family if he makes things right with Jimmy.
