‘Sons of Anarchy’ season 6, episode 12 preview: Charlie Hunnam, Kim Coates, and a standoff

Due to the Thanksgiving holiday, FX waited a little while longer before releasing their new promotional photos for Tuesday’s “Sons of Anarchy” episode entitled “You Are My Sunshine.” This is the first new episode in two weeks, and one that clearly looks to be setting the stage for a finale that fires on all cylinders.

The photos that we have here tease some sort of violent showdown, and at least a few members of SAMCRO are involved. You have Tig (Kim Coates), Chibs (Tommy Flanagan), Happy (David Labrava), and then Jax (Charlie Hunnam) coming up in the background. Who else out there is left for the MC to battle with? While at least part of the Irish may be handled at this point, that hardly constitutes all of them gone for good. Not only that, but there are still problems with the Chinese, and there may be a few complications still with the police. The bloodbath that transpired during “Aon Rud Persanta” is hardly the deal that Patterson agreed to with Jax earlier this season, where he promised to bring Galen to the table.

In the wake of Clay’s death, this is the time to tie together a few of this season’s loose ends, and also to leave a substantial thread hanging for the final season next fall. One of the more intriguing issues still at play here is Tara, and whether or not she is going to just roll over now and give in after her plan to take the children away from Jax and Gemma failed miserably. She is desperate for help and this could lead to all sorts of trouble. While she may not be the most violent of characters on the show, and we hardly believe that Chibs is pointing a gun at her in this photo, her next move is what we are personally the most interested in seeing Tuesday.

We will have more of a Tara-focused preview article up on Tuesday morning, and of course a standard “Sons of Anarchy” review / finale preview up on Tuesday. Be sure to bookmark the link here, since that is where we will continually have updates on all things related to Kurt Sutter’s epic drama.
