- "I just pulled my six-year-old out of T-ball because I found out they're giving trophies to every boy on the team for simply playing the game. Trophies should be earned. Teaching children that everyone's equal is a dangerous philosophy."

"Albification"[]
Jacob Hale Jr. invites Ethan Zobelle and AJ Weston to Charming. Zobelle owns a chain of cigar shops and wants to open one in Charming. David Hale, Jacob's younger brother and deputy chief of Charming PD soon arrives, having been invited to the meeting by Jacob as he explains to Zobelle and Weston that David will be chief of Charming PD soon enough, then the Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club will no longer have a grip on Charming. Zobelle presents David with a business card and David soon figures out that Zobelle and Weston are white supremacists, acting under the League of American Nationalists. David sarcastically asks Zobelle how many black/latino businesses are protected by the League. Zobelle hesitates before explaining that he isn't a white supremacist, just trying to look out for his own, and the League will assist David if they require it, after all, they all want the same thing; get SAMCRO out of Charming. David angrily storms out and Jacob follows him, attempting to persuade him but David is uninterested.
Weston visits Ernest Darby, a crank dealer in Charming and fellow white supremacist, Weston wants to pair up with Darby and get him to join the League. Darby isn't too sure and receives a stern talking to by Weston for hiring Mexicans for his woodworking business. Weston says that money should never come before race, he gives Weston $5k to get him operational inside of Charming again. Darby is understandably concerned what happens if Clarence "Clay" Morrow, President of SAMCRO finds out he is dealing drugs and prostitues inside of Charming again. Weston tells him to call the League any time and they will back him up.
The League head to the SAMCRO clubhouse. The Sons approach them with Clay telling them that the garage is closed. Zobelle explains that he isn't there for repairs, he is there to give some advice to the Sons to stop selling guns to the Mayans Motorcycle Club and the One-Niners. The Sons laugh at him, with Clay giving the classic response that they are just motorcycle enthusiasts. One of the Sons, who Zobelle identifies as Alexander "Tig" Trager whispers to Clay that one of the men is a Nordic and Zobelle confirms this, explaining that they are business partners with Darby. Clay looks Zobelle up and down, realising that they are white supremacists. Tig draws his gun and Zobelle addresses him by name, saying that he isn't going to shoot him with all these witnesses. He tells Clay that his cigar shop will be opening in a few weeks and leaves him with a gift of a cigar box until then, stating that he knows they are his favourite.
After they leave, Weston and two other League members tail Gemma Teller-Morrow, Clay's wife and using Polly Zobelle, Zobelle's daughter, they are abl to kidnap Gemma. The trio mask up and sexually assault Gemma and Weston warns Gemma to tell Clay to stop selling guns to the Niners and Mayans, or they will find her and do this again.
"Small Tears"[]
Weston tails Tig and Clay to a meeting with Laroy Wayne, the leader of the Niners, he photographs them and also sees Wayne Unser, chief of Charming PD also arrive and briefly talk to the men.
An angry Weston arrives at Impeccable Smokes, he tells Zobelle that Gemma didn't mention anything to Clay, he found out that she said she was in a car accident and SAMCRO are none the wiser. Zobelle plays it cool, telling Weston to be patient.
"Eureka"[]
Zobelle and Weston are at the cigar shop when Gemma arrives. They had sent her a package with one of the masks that Weston wore when he assaulted her. They knew the bag would lead her to the cigar shop, where it used to be before Impeccable Smokes. The pair are friendly with Gemma who all but realises they are responsible.
"Smite"[]
Weston stands outside the cigar shop as the Sons arrive. Clay enters and threatens Zobelle to pay protection money, he exits moments later with a stack of stolen cigar boxes. Weston then enters, telling Zobelle that Stockton is a go, Zobelle says that Clay must be humbled.
Weston and Zobelle visit David Hale, they explain Clay has tried to extort them for protection money. Hale is supplied with a DVD of the Sons blowing up the crank house Darby was running, which was also financed by Zobelle, he says he cannot take evidence that will not stand.
In town, Weston sees Polly being chased by Gemma, he quickly picks her up and the pair drive to Zobelle's church, the plan ready to be set in motion.
Across the street, Weston spots the Sons in the barbershop, he approaches them, trying to instigate a fight. Jax suddenly arrives, driving in front of Harry "Opie" Winston and trying to stop him from attacking Weston. Weston responds by pushing over Jax's bike, causing Jax to attack him and Tig and Opie jump in too as Clay watches on.
Everyone is arrested, Hale comes to free them all and tells Weston if he is caught fighting again, he will do a month for public disturbance.
"Falx Cerebri"[]
Weston and Zobelle meet with Cameron and Edmond Hayes, they are True IRA arms dealers and supply SAMCRO with guns.
Later on, SAMCRO attack a church service held by Zobelle, this was part of their plan, once the Sons are inside, Weston fires a shot, causing everyone to scramble, Zobelle and Weston flee as SAMCRO are arrested.
On Zobelle’s orders, Weston makes contact with an AB shot caller inside Stockton State Prison to organize an attack on incarcerated SAMCRO member Otto Delaney. Zobelle and Weston visit Deputy Chief David Hale, attempting to make a partnership. Weston provides him with two discs: one has evidence of SAMCRO member Opie Winston blowing up the Nordics’ meth lab, and another has Hale receiving what looks like a bribe from Darby. Weston later picks up Polly, who is being chased by Gemma, and takes her to her father, confirming that their plan involving Polly leaving an explosive-rigged van, is in place. Shortly afterwards, Weston and two other Aryans provoke SAMCRO into a fight when Weston pushes over Jax Teller’s bike. They are arrested but quickly released.
Weston and Zobelle meet with Cameron Hayes, SAMCRO’s Irish gun supplier, and convince him to sell guns to them instead. Meanwhile, SAMCRO breaks into his house, frightening his children and stealing his laptop. They hack into his computer and find out about a meeting at the Morada Christian Center. When they attack the supposed AB recruitment rally, which is actually a Christian family dinner, Weston fires off a gun to cause a panic and make the Sons look even worse.
Weston picks up a delivery of guns from the Irish, but he is attacked by SAMCRO and nearly robbed. He is saved when fellow AB member Ule arrives with backup and forces the Sons to flee. Ule is openly insubordinate, telling Weston to return to the cigar shop and that he is taking over the delivery. Unbeknownst to Weston, Zobelle and Ule betray him by delivering the guns to the Mayans Motorcycle Club, a Hispanic gang.
Weston and Zobelle give up the addresses of the Nordics’ meth lab and brothel to Hale. Afterwards, Weston, Ule, and several other Aryans go with Darby to burn down SAMCRO’s porn studio, Cara Cara. They officially break ties with the Nordics, knocking out Darby and leaving him to die in the fire. However, Chuck Marstein witnesses the arson and hears Weston’s name.
By this point, Ule has effectively supplanted Weston as Zobelle’s lieutenant, and, behind Weston’s back, the two have begun dealing heroin with the Mayans. SAMCRO informs Weston of this, enraging him. He shuts down the heroin distribution center, killing two Hispanic cookers and shooting Ule in the head. Weston confronts Zobelle at gunpoint, effectively severing the AB’s ties to L.O.A.N., but leaves immediately after receiving a phone call from his son, Cliff. He arrives just in time to see his kids being taken away by child protective services after being alerted by SAMCRO. Enraged, Weston challenges Jax Teller to a ten-on-ten brawl to the death in the woods. He attempts to break the rules by showing up with twenty armed Aryans, but is quickly checked by Jax’s reinforcements - the One-Niners and the Lin Triad. They then start the fistfight they had agreed upon, with Weston directly engaging Jax Teller and brutally holding his own. The melee is broken up by Hale, who arrests Weston for arson.
Zobelle and Polly are arrested for heroin possession and placed in a cell next to Weston. Because the arson witness is unreliable, Weston is released, but not before Chief Wayne Unser informs him that Zobelle is an FBI informant. Weston calls Polly and tells her that her father is a dead man. Weston is allowed to go on a supervised visit with Duke (Cliff is in psychiatric evaluation), and takes him to a tattoo parlor. The tattoo artist, Irish Freddy, who is in league with SAMCRO and is visibly offended by Weston’s “I Kill N*****s” tattoo, “accidentally” stabs him with the needle and tells him to wash it off in the bathroom. He does, and walks directly into an ambush. Weston’s main priority is keeping his son safe, and is allowed to give him some final words. Weston tells him to never talk to the cops and sends him away, willing to allow himself to be killed if his son never sees his corpse. Jax Teller nods in agreement and AJ Weston calmly sits on a toilet, bowing his head. Jax shoots him six times with a silenced pistol, killing him.
