With only a
few minutes remaining in the episode, the drama has picked up substantially.
The daughter revealed to SAMCRO that her assailant was....the clown from the
dunk tank! I have to admit that I did not see that one coming, although
I'm assuming that 30 seconds that SAMCRO dunked his head under water will
probably pale in comparsion to what they (or the victim's father) will do to
him. As the episode continues, SAMCRO heads out to the carnival where they are
confronted by the carnival workers, who are cooperating with the SAMCRO
"investigation." In case you were also wondering, a brawl between
a biker gang and carnival workers is about as entertaining as you can
imagine. Also as you would probably assume, the biker gang won the
fight pretty handily and left the workers bloodied and battered at the
carnival grounds. Maybe it might be time for them to consider a new
profession?
SAMCRO kidnaps the clown (who thankfully is not dressed in his costume) and
delivers him to the father of his victim. The father is holding a tool that is
used for "removing testicles from farm animals." I'm not an expert,
but that has to be the most painful form of torture for a man, right? If it
isn't, please I don't even want to know what else is out there that could
be worse then "removing testicles." Moving on, the father is
holding that device and staring right into the eyes of the person that raped
his daughter. What is he going to do? Is he going to use the device to remove
the testicles? Is he just going to stab him with the device? Is he going
to punch him? Once again--- what would you do?? Well......the father did
nothing. He just dropped the device and is walking away. I'm honestly in a
state of shock. On one hand, I have to respect the restraint that the man had.
He was someone with dignity, honesty, respect and wealth before the incident
with his daughter occurred. Clearly, he did not want to lose all that or he
just did not have it inside of himself to seek revenge the way he wanted to
originally- through violence. This shows the discrepancy between this father
and SAMCRO. SAMCRO participates in violent actions and illegal activities on
the daily without as much as batting an eyelash. However, a father literally
experiences one of the worst things that a father possibly could, and THAT does
not even push him to those extrememes that SAMCRO embodies. I have to admit- I
don't think I would have showed that same amount of restraint if I was a father
in that situation. Hopefully I- or none of you- will have to be.
Further encompassing the difference between the father and SAMCRO, Clay just
picked up the device to remove animal testicles that the father dropped when he
walked away. And guess what--- he just used it. The camera shows the
excruitating pain on the face of the rapist and the screams that accompany it,
before flashing down to the ground where we actually see the testicles. Clay
had no issue with picking up where the father left off, and finishing the job
that the father could not. I actually am happy that the rapist got what he
deserved, especially for such a horrific crime. However, I am also wondering if
there is a boundary that can stop SAMCRO from getting what they want- whatever
that may be. I guess I'll just have to wait and see...
