Biography[]

Chibs is originally from Glasgow, Scotland, but grew up in Belfast, Northern Ireland and served as a medic with the British Army; his military service, however, lasted only five months, ending in a court martial. His army experience has led to him becoming the club's medic for backdoor emergency surgery. He was married to Fiona Larkin and has a daughter named Kerrianne. However, when he was thrown out of the True IRA, the group's leader, Jimmy O'Phelan, took his family from him. O'Phelan also scarred his face and told him never to return to Ireland, leaving Chibs with a scarred face and a lifelong nickname. He became SAMBEL’s first prospect, who eventually patched over from SAMBEL to SAMCRO, becoming the liaison between the two charters. Chibs was an outlier in the club, being Scottish whilst the rest of the club were American. He is also SAMCRO's connection with the True IRA, who sell guns to gangs in the United States. He has been heard speaking Scottish Gaelic. His first kill was for the True IRA, killing a police constable in Omagh, Northern Ireland at a very young age. He quotes 'we could have been in the same school together'.

Due to his age and life experience, Chibs is calmer and more level-headed than most other Sons, preferring to use less bloody methods in his approach, though he has no problem using violence when it is needed. He had a good relationship with Jax, calling him "Jackie" or "Jackie Boy" and backing every decision Jax made after he became President. His unshakable loyalty towards Jax is repaid by the young man with the Vice President patch. Chibs is also more tolerant than the other members; accepting Juice and being willing to give him another chance in the club.

Season 1[]

"Pilot"[]

Filip "Chibs" Telford is at the Teller-Morrow garage and clubhouse, Jackson "Jax" Teller, Vice President of SAMCRO speaks to Chibs and Kip "Half-Sack" Epps, the club prospect. The pair are trying to remove a deer from a windshield. Jax instructs Half-Sack to use a chainsaw to get the deer out. Chibs pulls Jax aside to ask about the warehouse explosion that happened last night and he explains that it was the Mayans Motorcycle Club and they stole the One-Niners shipment of guns. Jax says that Clarence "Clay" Morrow, club President and his stepfather, is going to meet with Laroy Wayne, the leader of the Niners.

Back at the clubhouse, Half-Sack shows the club his ballbag, which contains only one ball, as the other was blown off by a landmine in Iraq. Clay tells Chibs to find Jax and inform him they are sitting at the table.

At the table, Clay lays out the situation, the club have one more day before Laroy brings his men to Charming. The Niners have a heroin shipment coming in and they need the guns for protection. Jax is adamant that a big problem is going to occur if the Mayans attempt to steal the Niners heroin with their own guns but an angry Clay shuts down the idea, saying it isn't going to happen. The club decide they are going to track down where the guns are and retrieve them, destroying the Mayans warehouse in the process. Robert "Bobby Elvis" Munson is going to be absent as he needs to go to Tahoe to deal with his ex-wives, he is the club's usual explosive expert. Clay suggests they bring in Harry "Opie" Winston, an on and off member of the club who has recently gotten out of prison after serving 9 years for. Jax insists that Opie is "leaning straight" but Clay tells him he doesn't care, Opie will have to help them.

The club exit Church and Gemma Teller-Morrow, Clay's wife and Jax's mother furiously drives in to the parking lot. She tells them that Wendy Case, Jax's pregnant ex-wife has overdosed and is in hospital. Clay, Jax, Gemma, Bobby and Chibs head to Saint Thomas Hospital. Gemma explains that the heroin Wendy OD'd on had marking on the packaging, the club realise it is the work of the Nordics, a white supremacist gang in Charming who frequently peddle drugs.

They find Wendy and they quickly realise that her baby bump has gone. Dr. Tara Knowles exits the room and speaks to them. She explains that an emergency C-section had to be performed and that the baby is 10 weeks premature. He is also very unwell due to being born with the Teller heart defect and all the drugs Wendy was shooting up. He is given a 20% survival chance.

Jax leaves the hospital as Clay orders Chibs and Bobby to stay with him. The trio head to the Hairy Dog, a Nords bar. Inside Jax assaults a member, Izzy, impaling him with a pool cue and is eventually dragged away by Chibs as Bobby holds the other Nords at gunpoint. Jax leaves the other two, saying he is going to find Opie.

At the table, the club go over the situation with the Nordics and their plan to retrieve their guns. They are joined at the table by Opie, and Happy Lowman, a member of the Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club, Tacoma charter. Piermont "Piney" Winston, Opie's father and co-founder of the club speaks up and congratulates Jax on the birth of his son, and they are all here for him if they need him.

Later that day, the club put the finishing touches to their plan to raid the Mayan warehouse and retrieve their guns. Clay is impressed with the club's work.

The club hit the Mayan warehouse and are able to locate their guns, they work on wiring the place up with explosives when Mayans arrive. They stay quiet as Jax and Clay head out to deal with the problem. They argue about what should be done as Clay insists on blowing the warehouse up but Jax isn't so sure, not wanting to start a war with the Mayans. Clay says that they would be long gone if it wasn't for the delay with the explosives which is ultimately Jax's fault, not believing his story about Opie having to take his daughter to the hospital. They are able to outmanoeuvre the Mayans which ends with Clay and Tig both killing one and Jax being left to execute the last one. Suddenly, he is shot in the back but is able to return fire and hit his attacker, the last remaining Mayan attempts to draw a knife from his belt and finish off Jax, but he is gunned down by Clay. SAMCRO check the bodies of the deceased, realising one if a Nordic, meaning the Mayans and the Nords have a new partnership. The club put the finishing touches to their explosive work and detonate the Mayans warehouse.

"Seeds"[]

Clay announces that the gun deal with the Niners has finally gone through, giving the club a decent chunk of change. Juice soon arrives and says that Deputy Chief David Hale has a warrant to search one of the Sons' warehouses where they store guns.

Inside Church, the club are planning what to do after Clay and Tig admitted that Tig had been having sex with the two dead Mexicans at the warehouse. Juice and Jax theorise that Hale is going to borrow a forensic team for the Lodi PD. Otto "Big Otto" Delaney, an imprisoned member of SAMCRO's sister works for the Lodi PD and perhaps she can let SAMCRO know if a forensic team is coming their way. Clay says that he is going to speak to Chief Wayne Unser, the corrupt Chief of Charming PD who the club have a long history with and see if he can get Hale to back down.

Back in Church, Juice explains that the forensic team will be in Charming tomorrow. Clay says the only way to stop them is to divert their attention with another murder. Jax is unsure, saying that Hale is already on high alert and it could bring more trouble with the Nords and the Mayans. Clay insists they need to do it to protect Tig and Jax eventually relents. Tig says they should kill some Nords and Clay agrees. Tig leaves to go and set things up but Jax stops him. He says he has a plan to fix their issue without killing anyone. He says they should call in a favour with Skeeter, an undertaker who can easily be bought out; Jax states that all they need is a body and a crime scene for a murder, of which they can fabricate. Clay agrees, telling Jax to not make him regret going with his plan.

Jax, Chibs, Juice and Half-Sack head to Skeeter's crematorium. The club explain that they need two bodies from Skeeter but he tells them he isn't interested in a deal right now. He says he has quit gambling and doesn't want SAMCRO's money. He admits that there is something they can do for him, however. He wants them to set him up with Emily Duncan, a crow eater and Jax says to consider it done.

Jax, Chibs and Juice head back to the cemetery, they find that Half-Sack has finished digging up the dead body, unfortunately, he's quite a big guy. Nevertheless they load the bodies in to two cars and head to Lodi.

Things turn sour when Jax and Chibs are pulled over after a cop notices some damage to their car. Juice and Half-Sack are behind and Juice thinks quickly and rear ends the cop car, the two then bailing and running from the two cops as they give chase. This gives Jax and Chibs ample time to burst the tyres on the cop car and steal their radio. They then head back to their car and pull a quick u-turn, driving back down the highway and picking up Juice and Half-Sack as they leave the cops in the dust.

The four then finish setting their murder scene, with Jax adding some finishing touches, making it look like a Nord and a Mayan murder.

As they had back to Charming, they spot a hot rod at a gas station, Jax recognises it as the same guy who cut them off earlier, subsequently damaging their vehicle and getting them pulled over by the cops. They head inside the gas station and Jax beats the guy down, who then pulls a gun and starts firing. Jax wrestles with the driver before the gas station employee steps in, killing the driver with an axe.

"Fun Town"[]

The club regroup that evening to meet the True IRA for a gun deal, whilst they wait, Clay asks everyone's opinion on Half-Sack's prospect period. Everyone is in agreement that Half-Sack is doing an amazing job and is an asset to the club. Clay calls him over as their shipment arrives. Disassembled guns inside of oil barrels. Michael McKeavey, the driver of the truck and IRA member is frustrated to hear that the Sons won't be placing another order with the IRA for a few months whilst they recover from the warehouse fire. McKeavey says they have no choice but to look for another buyer.

The club agree to front McKeavey his money to keep their business arrangements, Chibs is ordered by Clay to go with McKeavey whilst he makes a trip up north, Clay wants to know who he is meeting.

Elliott Oswald, a local businessman drives in to the lot, demanding to speak with Clay.

Later in Church, the rest of the club learn about Oswald's situation. His 13 year old daughter was raped and beaten the previous night, and he wants SAMCRO to find the perpetrator. Some members of the club are unsure about assisting Oswald as he has no real affiliation to SAMCRO and it isn't their business. Clay is able to rally the troops however, and everyone is in agreement they will assist Oswald. The club believe that the Nords are a good place to start to try and find the rapist.

Jax and Chibs meet with Half-Sack who has been tailing Hale's leads. They end up back at the carnival to speak to some workers but aren't able to get much information out of them.

The club briefly return to the clubhouse to pick up some of the AK's Juice was handling, unable to find him, they leave without him to confront Johnny Yates, a man they suspect could be the rapist after getting some intel from Darby. They find where Yates is supposed to be, a large house out in the woods with armed guards outside. They attempt to arm up, but find the AK's have no magazines inside of them.

The club subdue the guards and breach the house, where they stumble upon a church group. After speaking to Yates, they realise that he is a changed man and is not the rapist. The club extend their apologies and quickly leave.

Jax returns to the clubhouse with the identity of the rapist, the club return to the carnival and beat up the carnival workers, finally finding the rapist. They escort him to the woods and hold him until Oswald arrives. Oswald arrives with a blade and demands they remove the rapist's trousers. As Clay oversees, he reminds Oswald they had a deal, he must deliver the justice himself. Oswald drops the blade, unable to do it, he quickly flees the scene.

Clay gloves up and does the job himself, castrating the rapist. He passes Jax the blade as they realise it was all about blackmail, they have Oswald's prints on a murder weapon and now they can use it as leverage when they want to do business with him in the future.

"AK-51"[]

At the table, with the club whole again. Juice has returned from Nevada and Chibs has returned from up North. Chibs brings news about their Irish contacts and explains they need to pay them on time or they will buy from the Russians instead. The Sons will also continue to sell guns to the Niners at a discounted price. Jax and Piney also made a sale of some weapons to a local militia earlier in the day.

Half-Sack suddenly bursts in to Church and tells Clay he is needed outside. The club head outside and find Agent June Stahl of the ATF and Hale. Stahl asks who the owner of the garage is and Clay admits it is him, he is immediately arrested. Clay asks what the charge is and Stahl says he isn't being charged yet, she is just looking for some information about Nate Meineke. Clay states he doesn't know who that is and Stahl informs him that he is responsible for holding up a prison transport and killing three people. The last call on his phone is from TM.

The club scramble to keep things in check. Piney tells them that Nate has reached out and told Piney his location. Jax tells Piney that he has to setup a meet so that they can take care of the militants, they lead the feds right to the Son's front door. Bobby also announces that the feds have a warrant to search the clubhouse. Piney is sent back to the cabin with Opie whilst Jax attempts to handle the situation.

Jax tells Bobby to meet with Laroy and collect the money for the guns, they will have them by the end of the day. Chibs questions how Jax is going to get the guns out of the clubhouse with the pending search warrant.

Jax strikes gold with a genius idea to use a septic tank to get the guns out of the clubhouse. A company is at the clubhouse clearing out the drains. Not all is well however, as Bobby returns with news that Laroy is refusing to buy the guns due to the heat associated with them.

The warrant finally comes through, hordes of armed ATF agents storm the clubhouse and quickly detain all the Sons. The Sons laugh to themselves as they know the feds won't find anything they can be charged with.

The feds leave empty handed and Chibs, Juice and Half-Sack head out to retrieve the guns from the septic tank.

Clay heads up to the cabin with the rest of the club, he is happy to hear that Jax managed to get the guns out of the warehouse and the ATF have uncovered nothing in their search except for the Irish oil barrels which the club receive their guns in, which the club believe could pose a threat if the ATF investigate hard enough. Clay says it won't be a problem once the gun warehouse is rebuilt and they don't need to store anything in the clubhouse anymore. Jax attempts to tell Clay that they are handling the militia but Clay insists Jax will handle it find and heads to bed.

"Old Bones"[]

At the clubhouse. Half-Sack is boxing with Lowell Harland Jr. a mechanic at TM and a recovering drug addict. The club scheme on entering Half-Sack in a bare knuckle boxing circuit to win some big money for the club to help pay the Irish. Jax tells Bobby and Chibs to train Half-Sack, take $50k and triple it. Half-Sack is now on a strict diet of no weed, booze, or pussy. Clay also tells Bobby to try it on with Cherry, Half-Sack's girlfriend, get Half-Sack real angry for his fights.

At the table, the club discuss the bodies that were found, to the newer members of the club. Clay explains they are Mayan bodies, if they get ID'd it could bring heat back to the club. They need to stop the bodies getting ID'd or trouble could be brewing.

Half-Sack is informed that he will be boxing for $15k for the Sons. Clay has put him on a diet of no drink, drugs or Cherry, much to Half-Sack's dismay. Cherry will also be staying with Bobby until the fight is over, an agreement neither Half-Sack or Cherry are happy about.

Half-Sack performs in his first fight, he is able to win the fight with ease and nets the Sons a nice payday.

Clay arrives at Half-Sack's boxing match. Clay then sits with Cherry, she tells him she isn't interested in Bobby, only in Half-Sack. Clay tells Cherry that she is more than welcome to stick around if Half-Sack patches in. This earns him a kiss on the cheek from Cherry, who is grateful for his kindness. Half-Sack sees this and quickly becomes enraged. Clay stands and yells out for Half-Sack to drop but he pummels his opponent knocking him out. Clay rushes up and apologises to Bobby, Chibs and Tig, admitting it is his fault Half-Sack acted out. The club bail before things get out of hand.

Half-Sack apologises to Clay, Clay sarcastically remarks that at least he got the girl. He does however owe the club $35k according to Chibs.

"The Pull"[]

At the table, the club have almost pulled together enough money for the IRA guns, they are very close to the $200k they need. The club briefly discuss the various ways they have pooled together the money before Clay announces they can get the remaining money from Luann, if Gemma talks to her first. She is making a lot of money from the porn industry. Jax also announces that his son is getting out of the hospital today, the club are excited and pleased for Jax.

Jax returns to the clubhouse and informs the club of his crank discovery, he assisted at a roadside accident and discovered the drugs on the driver, he suspects it is the Nords. Juice confirms if it definitely Nord product and Tig says they should teach Darby a lesson. Jax says that he and Opie will go and speak to the driver of the truck and see what he has to say about the meth. Clay says that Luann is also fronting the club $55k, meaning they only need $15k more by the end of the day. Chibs tells Half-Sack that if he ever wants to get patched in, he needs to find them the remaining money.

At the clubhouse, the club mock Half-Sack for stealing an ambulance, claming they can easily sell it for $100k. When asked where he can sell it to, he isn't able to answer, realising the many flaws in his plan. The club laugh at Half-Sack's expense and Clay tells Chibs to get rid of the ambulance after dark. Jax soon arrives, he briefly wonders why there is an ambulance in the garage but upon learning Half-Sack is responsible, he asks no further questions. Clay asks if Jax was able to learn anything from the truck driver, to which he quickly tells them about how he learned the Nords are dealing crank in Pope, where the driver fills up his tanker with diesel, Opie and Jax stole the tanker, and Jax flipped it to Unser at a cheap price. Meaning they now have enough money for the IRA.

Chibs, Juice, Jax, Opie and Half-Sack soon arrive at the bar where Clay and Tig were meeting the IRA. They learn that a shooting went down and Cameron Hayes, the Sons' new contact after McKeavey was killed by port commissioner Brenan Hefner for not wanting to pay more tax has also just been shot by Mayans who attacked the bar. The barman says he will take care of the Mayan body whilst the rest of the club get Cameron back to the clubhouse, in Half-Sack's very convenient ambulance.

Back at the clubhouse, Chibs says that they need real medical tools or Cameron will die, the bullet hit an artery and it being lodged inside of him is the only thing stopping him from bleeding out. Gemma soon arrives and is relieved to see everyone in one piece; Clay informs her that other charters are coming down and the clubhouse needs to be stocked. Jax says that he will speak to Tara and see what medical equipment she can assist them in getting.

Later that night, Chibs and Juice try their best to patch up Cameron.

"Hell Followed"[]

At the clubhouse, Gemma is concerned as they haven't been able to locate Jax last night and today, Gemma wants to try and find him but Clay tells her to stay put. Piney and Opie agree to ride to St. Thomas to see if he may be there. Chibs then enters to inform Clay that he and Juice are still patching up Cameron, but Chibs is concerned he may have sepsis.

Chibs and Juice continue to work on Cameron, eventually being able to pull one of the slugs from him causing a fountain of blood to spray out of the wound. Tig and Gemma rush in before the pair swiftly leave the clubhouse.

Cameron eventually comes to and is horrified to see that Juice has his finger buried in his ass cheek, essentially keeping him alive. Chibs soon returns and Cameron tells Chibs that Hefner must be dealt with and dealt with swiftly. On Monday he is going to set dogs loose on cargo and the IRA shipment will be discovered. Chibs assures him that the club will deal with it.

At the table, Clay addresses SAMCRO and the other charters who have come down. He states that what happened the previous night can never happen again, no more bodies can drop in Charming. Tig speaks up and says that SAMCRO did not attempt to kill the Nords, it was Alvarez who tried to kill Clay and Darby. However, if they retaliate, war is certain. Clay admits that he sat down with Alvarez, causing shock to ripple across the table. Clay says that he made a deal with Alvarez, the Sons will sell guns to the Mayans and all beefs will be ended, in Charming and out of state, no Sons will have issues with Mayans anymore. Juice enquires about the Sons deal with the Niners and selling guns to them, but Jax insists they have no real loyalty to the Niners and they also buy guns from other sources. Bobby admits he has concern that a deal with the Mayans could trigger something else with the Niners. Tig says that the Mayans still tried to kill him but Clay says that debt will be settled too, by another charter, he asks if Happy will do the deed and he of course agrees. The club vote on the deal and the majority are on board.

"Better Half"[]

At the table, the club, joined by Unser who has been kicked out of his office to make way for the ATF discuss the recent return of Stahl. So far she has had Luann arrested on drug charges and Cherry on theft and arson. Unser says that Stahl is trying to use the RICO act to bring down the club, which will affect all of them, hence why he is sitting at the table. Jax says that Tara will never turn on the club and they have nothing to worry about regarding her. Bobby says that they can't get through to Otto, they have him on federal watch and he isn't allowed any phone calls. Jax theorises that Stahl is pressing Otto for history and using Luann as leverage. The club begin to grow concerned, knowing that Otto would do anything for Luann and Cherry also knows a lot of information about Indian Hills. The club devise a plan to use Unser and get Jax and Opie in to the police station to pass a message to Luann to warn Otto about Stahl using the RICO act, as the pair will most likely be allowed to see each other as some sort of leverage deal. They will also work on finding out where Cherry is. Clay, running out of ideas quickly agrees to Jax's plan, as does everyone else.

"Capybara"[]

Clay receives a call from the SAMCRO lawyer, he announces that Luann is clear of any charges, but Otto isn't. In a final meeting with Stahl, he attacked her, smashing her face in to a table and breaking her nose, proving he is loyal to the club. The celebration is very short lived as suddenly Juice sees an army of armed police at the front door of the clubhouse, within seconds Stahl has strutted in as the club are forced to the floor. Bobby is grabbed and told he is under arrest for the murder of Hefner.

At the table, the club is very concerned about Bobby being arrested, Jax insists he is sure there was no witness and nobody could've seen them carrying out the murder. The club notice the mysterious absence of Opie and minds begin to race as Tig states that only two other people saw the murder, one is in jail and the other is in the wind. This causes Jax to jump to his feet as he and Tig almost begin to fight at Tig's accusation. Piney also steps up, saying Opie isn't here is because he doesn't know what is going on. Jax heads out to find him.

Jax meets up with Opie as the pair are going to travel to the clubhouse to clear Opie's name. They arrive at the clubhouse and everyone is happy to see Opie, they head in to Church. Opie speaks, telling the table that Stahl tried to set him up as a rat, he doesn't know who the witness is but it isn't him. Donna Winston was also targeted but she turned down Stahl's deal, wanting to stay loyal to Opie. Tig then enters as Opie finishes his piece, he asks if he is good with the club and Clay confirms he is, banging the gavel as everyone stands to leave except for Tig and Clay.

"The Sleep of Babies"[]

At the table, Clay expresses concern about the club's current lack of cash. If they need to fund Bobby's legal defense, they are in trouble. He suggests selling the club's personal gun surplus to the Mayans and there is a level of disagreement. Clay says that if they sell the Mayans the guns, it will appear as a goodwill gesture and they will get a good payout. Jax protests but Clay admits he is out of ideas. They formulate a plan and will do the deal in two separate locations, Tig and Opie drop off the guns in one location and Jax and Clay pick up the cash in another. Piney wants in also but Clay refuses, causing Piney to angrily storm out of Church.

With news of a shooting, SAMCRO race downtown, they find Donna dead. Opie arrives at the traffic lights where he sees the bloodied corpse of Donna, he drops to his knees and sobs as he holds her. Chibs and Jax drag him away.

Chibs and Juice later drink silently at the clubhouse.

"The Revelator"[]

At the table tensions run high for obvious reasons. Clay tells the table that he is responsible, organising the deal with the Mayans that led to Donna's demise, others speak up and say they all agreed on the deal. Piney says they track down Laroy and kill him and becomes enraged at Clay, saying if it happened to him there would be instant retaliation, Piney leaves and Jax goes after him.

Rosen drops by to speak to SAMCRO, he says the name of the witness is being released and the ATF is presenting evidence agaisnt Opie for his part in the murder of Hefner, he expects it to be a resident or neighbor that saw the hit and if Opie comes in, he probably won't be leaving again. Clay reminds Rosen that Donna'a funeral is tomorrow and Rosen says he will do what he can to delay and reminds Clay that his payment is due soon. The club decide they need to deal with the witness before they can testify against Opie or Bobby. They realise the witness is under watch 24/7 and it will not be easy getting to them. The club agree they will contact Trammel to try and get information about safehouses in San Joaqiun. Jax receives a call from a frantic Half-Sack who has been tailing Piney, he tells Jax that Piney is heading in to a Niners bar, probably looking for Laroy, another issue for SAMCRO's ever growing list of problems. Jax and Chibs head out to retrieve him whilst Tig and Clay go and speak to Trammel.

Jax and Chibs race to the Niner bar and finds Laroy outside, they head inside and find Piney with a gun to the head of one of Laroy's men. Piney tells Jax to go, telling him that it doesn't involve him, one of them killed Donna and he is going to make it right. Laroy chimes in, asking what Piney is talking about. Jax pleads with Laroy, asking him that if Piney puts the gun down do they all walk out of the bar alive, Laroy agrees and Jax approaches Piney, signalling to Half-Sack to assist, Half-Sack elbows Piney, causing him to drop the gun and Jax to snatch it away. Jax, Piney and Laroy sit down and talk. Jax explains to Laroy what happened to Donna but Laroy tells them it was nothing to do with the Niners. Yes, the Niners and SAMCRO need to work out their issues but if their beef took him to the streets of Charming to start killing women, would they all really still be alive? Laroy suggests they be on their way quickly.

Tig, Chibs and Happy head to the safehouse, they have got the location of the witness, they immobilise the cops outside and break in, the trio are shocked to find a young girl inside, she is the witness. Happy says that he will kill the girl but Tig steps up, saying he must do it, he escorts the terrified girl when suddenly Jax arrives and tells Tig to put the gun down. Tig refuses, raising his gun to the girl's head and Jax counters by doing the same to Tig, saying he will kill him. Jax tells Happy and Chibs to get out, angering the pair, saying this wasn't part of the plan. They leave.

The following day, the club ride with Donna's funeral procession to the graveyard. Many associates, friends and family are also present. Jax arrives late, looking worse for wear, Tara stands and places his kutte on him, before kissing him passionately. Jax briefly pays his respects to Donna before taking off.

Season 2[]

"Albification"[]

The Sons test weapons they are purchasing from the True IRA, Cameron and his son, Edmond Hayes watch on. The Sons are interested but when Cameron proposes a different type of deal with the Sons running the guns instead of reselling them, nobody is too sure. The club briefly discuss and it soon realise that they have little options, they need the money and the IRA business, they will have to play along. Jax barters the Irish in to a bit of a sweeter deal and an agreement is made.

In Church, the club discuss revenge for Opie as Tig and Clay bring new evidence that it wasn't the Niners, this is backed by Clay and Piney who went to speak to Laroy directly. They concur that the Mayans are responsible. Opie says he wants to kill the Niner responsible, Opie, Tig, Chibs and Jax will head out to handle the business, everyone leaves.

The Sons track the Mayan that Trammel supplied them intel with, he is Elian Perez. They follow him and are able to knock him off his bike and after a brief chase, they capture him. Opie puts a gun to Perez' head and demands he tell the truth about what he did to Donna. Perez pleads for his life, telling Opie that he isn't responsible, Jax drags an angry Opie away and tries to talk him in to killing the Mayan quickly, Opie wants to remove any doubt that he is responsible, however. Opie isn't interested in discussion and says he wants the truth, Jax would do the same for Tara. The trio return, having left Tig with Perez and see that Perez has been shot in the face by Tig. Tig frantically explains that he reached for his gun and he had to shoot him. Jax tells Opie that should be all the proof he needs, he draws his own pistol and finishes Perez before cutting an anarchy symbol in to his chest, saying that he wants Alvarez to know.

A car rolls in to the lot and a group of men emerge, the Sons approach them with Clay telling them that the garage is closed. The lead man, Ethan 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 and the Niners. The Sons laugh at him, with Clay giving the classic response that they are just motorcycle enthusiasts. Tig whispers to Clay that one of the men is a Nord and Zobelle confirms this, explaining that they are business parters 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.

The celebrations rage on as Bobby is dropped off at the clubhouse by Stahl, finally free from prison after all the cases against him were dropped due to lack of evidence.

"Small Tears"[]

The Sons arrive at St. Thomas, Tara soon arrives to speak to them and informs them that Gemma was in a car accident, her face is pretty beaten up but she will be fine after they run some further tests. Unser approaches the Sons, telling them that Luann's porn studio has been hit and the feds have taken everything.

Jax, Bobby, Chibs, Juice and Half-Sack head to Luann's studio. Luann tells them about Georgie Caruso, a rival producer who is going to poach her girls, Luann says she needs the money she loaned the club back so she can pay her girls to keep them. Jax says it won't happen today but he will get Georgie off her back. They head to Georgie's studio and threaten him, Georgie says that he is trying to help Luann's girls but SAMCRO don't buy it. A very hungover Bobby throws up on Georgie's bodyguard and the club leave.

Jax and Chibs return to St. Thomas, they find Luann there with Lyla Dvorak, one of Luann's girls, she has been beaten by Georgie who threatened the Sons right back. Luann is furious at Jax, telling them he bought this problem upon her and her girls. Jax rallies the crew and they head to Georgie's studio, they beat him, his crew and break his equipment.

At Church, Jax propses an idea to make Luann an official partner, they rent out the unused gun warehouse, they provide the muscle and split the profits with Luann, it's easy money, and it's a legitimate business, the club take a vote and it passes unanimously.

Later that night, SAMCRO head to the gun deal with the Niners, they are selling them 12 AK's after the Niners believe the Mayans will soon be acting against them. The trade is jumped by the Mayans, Bobby is shot and the weapons are stolen, Clay returns the money to Laroy, telling him they will get him more guns.

Back at the clubhouse, Tara is tending to Bobby. Jax is summoned by Clay, presumably for a scolding.

"Fix"[]

Later on, Juice has finished gathering intel on Zobelle and the League, a white supremacist organisation that paid the Sons a visit on the night of Bobby's party, they threatened the Sons and warned them to stop dealing guns to the Mayans and the Niners. As expected, Juice has discovered that Zobelle is a saint, he owns 5 cigar shops named "Impeccable Smokes" and he is a deacon at his church, he is widowed and has a daughter. Jax notices that the last place Zobelle had a cigar shop was in San Bernardino and a local MC called the War Boys Motorcycle Club attacked Zobelle's shop, causing them all to get arrested and the club to crumble. Clay mentions that the War Boys ran guns prior to being taken down. SAMCRO realise that Zobelle is trying to take down MC's to prep his own organisation for a race war, Jax becomes concerned that perhaps he has already gotten to Hale, Hale has never taken a bribe from the Sons before but perhaps Zobelle has what he wants, the key to get rid of SAMCRO from Charming. Opie is also tasked with tracking down Darby's meth labs, out on a reposession job earlier, he and Half-Sack found Darby was dealing again inside Charming.

Tig, Chibs, Juice and Opie head out to deal with the Darby issue, Juice poses as a buyer and is able to lure one of the dealers away, the Sons ambush him and are able to get information about where Darby's crank house is.

In Church, Opie explains what they discovered after pressuring the crank dealer, they know where Darby is cooking. A discussion over how to deal with the problem comes up and the club theorise a good way to tell if Hale is working for Zobelle is if he ignores the tipoff that the Sons are going to give him. If he does nothing with it, they handle the problem themselves by blowing up the house.

Under the cover of darkness, SAMCRO head to the crankhouse to deal with it, Hale did indeed bury the info. They lay explosives and then bait the occupants in to coming outside and fleeing, Opie then lights the explosives from the inside and barely makes it out in time as the house erupts behind him.

"Eureka"[]

At the clubhouse, the club prepare to go on their blood drive charity ride, which is really an excuse to run guns for the IRA. The Sons mock Half-Sack as he explains that he is getting a testicle implant, he lost one of them during his time in Iraq.

The club meet up with Cameron and Edmond to collect their guns. Emond mentions that Jimmy O'Phelan, the de facto leader of the True IRA may be coming to the US soon. The club looks uneasy as they stare at Chibs, he says, "Their day will come". Chibs has history with the True IRA, and specifically with Jimmy.

As the club ride out again, Bobby has trouble with his vintage bike and accidentally crashes in to Tig, sending him flying off the road and down an embankment, his leg is badly injured. An ambulance is called for Tig who is too injured to ride and he is transported to a local hospital. Clay is furious with Bobby, telling him that he has to wipe Tig's ass if necessary. Jax says they will call Piney to bring the flatbed to transport Tig's bike home. Inside the hospital, a nurse explains to Bobby that Tig's insurance won't cover an out of town visit and he needs to be transferred. The club are furious as Tig and Bobby begin dishing out abuse at the hospital workers.

Clay receives a call from Bobby, he has even more bad news, Tig has been picked up by bounty hunters, Half-Sack is trailing then. Clay says if Tig had any warrants he would know about it, Jax says that it could be an out of state warrant. The clug argue about if they should rescue Tig or deliver the guns. Clay is hellbent on doing so, but his arthiritis gets the best of him as he tries to ride away and he falls from his bike. He staggers away clutching his hands. After Opie speaks to him privately, they agree that Tig should be saved.

Happy, Half-Sack, Piney and Bobby rejoin the rest of the club. Half-Sack has tailed the bounty hunters and he knows where they are keeping Tig. He explains they beat him up on the side of the road and they took him to a local motel, most likely to patch him up, otherwise they cannot turn him in. An arguement breaks out between Jax and Clay. Clay wants Tacoma to come down and grab the guns before they get Tig, Jax says they should go right now as they don't know how long they are going to keep Tig in the motel for. Jax says Clay must call a vote and Clay shoves him, the others jump in to separate them as Bobby steps between them, explaining this is all his fault and everyone needs to calm down, then they will figure out what to do.

Jax storms off and finds Piney pulling away in the flatbed, passing him a shotgun he tells him to jump on and they can save Tig right now, Jax orders Chibs, Happy and Half-Sack to join him and they agree, jumping on the back of the flatbed as Bobby, Opie and Clay stare on.

As they arrive at the motel, Piney chooses the plan for himself, he rams the back of the truck through the wall of the motel room where Tig is being held, they hold the bounty hunters at gunpoint as Tig dives on to the flatbed, they taunt the bounty hunters and Piney speeds away.

The club reunite after Tig is saved. Tensions continue to run high as Jax accuses Opie of taking Clay's side. The drop off is completed and they meet the Joilette Charter halfway, delivering the guns.

Later on as the club party with other Oregon charters, Bobby states that when they're home, he is going to lock Clay and Jax in a room and get them to settle their beefs. Chibs says Clay can't handle getting older and Jax pushing him out. Opie chimes in and says Jax needs to get over his father issues and that Clay isn't going anywhere.

"Smite"[]

The Sons ride to Zobelle's cigar shop, Clay enters and threatens Zobelle, telling him he will need to pay protection money if he is going to operate inside Charming. He exits, having stolen a stack of expensive cigar boxes and begins to dish them out to the other Sons as he exits.

At the table, the decision to vote on retaliation after Otto was attacked in prison has to be made. Clay says that he knows they are trying to lay low after just losing the ATF, but Zobelle has been underestimated, he can do real damage to the club. Clay continues, saying if they don't act now, they will appear weak. Jax speaks up, saying he agrees with Clay, but retaliation right now is not a good idea, the League aren't fools and they are protected on both sides of the law, they will be going in blind. Blowing up the crank lab was planned, he presents a DVD which has footage of Opie doing the deed on it that was supplied by Hale. Zobelle isn't like their other adversaries, he is using the law to get to them, rather than taking it in to his own hands. He expects and wants the Sons to retaliate. The Sons should be patient and wait to learn more before attacking back. The vote is called. Clay, Tig, Opie and Juice land on retaliation, Jax, Chibs, Bobby and Piney land on no. It ends with 4-4, no majority, meaning no retaliation.

Outside the clubhouse, a broken down car is being wheeled in, Chibs jumps inside to try and start it but hears a sound which causes him to dive out of the car and run for his life, the car explodes behind him, sending him flying through the air, he lies in a pool of blood as everyone surrounds him.

"Falx Cerebri"[]

In the immediate aftermath of the explosion, Chibs is carted off to hospital.

"Potlatch"[]

In hospital, Chibs finally comes around, he is shocked to see Fiona Larkin, his estranged wife has come to visit. She kisses him, saying it is from Kerrianne, their daughter. Chibs says Fiona coming here was a bad idea, before drifting back to sleep. Fiona is currently with Jimmy O and usually resides in Ireland as an active member of the IRA.

"Fa Guan"[]

Jax visits Chibs who is slowly recovering in hospital, the pair discuss the death of Luann, who was found murdered yesterday. Chibs admits that Fiona came to visit him yesterday. Chibs explains that Jimmy would never let Fiona travel alone, so he must be in the states also. Jax theorises that the Irish pipeline is now gone as Stahl had showed them proof of the IRA doing business with the League whilst the Sons were inside jail. Jax heads out as Tara arrives. Tara tells Chibs that his insurance has lapsed and he will needs to recover in Stockton. Chibs becoems irate, telling Tara that he won't be protected anywhere outside of Charming.

Later on, Tara and Chibs fake his condition worsening to ensure that he stays put at St. Thomas.

"Balm"[]

The club head to St. Thomas, Chibs is finally being released after weeks of recovering from his explosive assassination attempt.

In the van ride home, Half-Sack explains to Chibs that Cara Cara has burned down and Jax is blaming Clay, citing his efforts to refocus the club's vision on the gun trade. As a result of their ever brewing tension, Jax has decided to go Nomad. Chibs is horrified to hear this. Chibs reaches in to the glove box and pulls out a gun, he cocks it and demands Half-Sack hang a left, to which he obliges. The pair drive to Edmond's storage shop and Chibs kicks open the door, firing a few shots at Edmond before grabbing him and slamming him down on the counter with the gun to his head. Chibs demands to know why the IRA have been selling guns to the League. Cameron soon arrives armed with a shotgun, which he points at Chibs, demanding he let Edmond go. Chibs obliges and in another twist, Jimmy O appears from the back of the shop, Chibs informs him that the Sons have a new gun pipeline, to which Jimmy sternly tells Chibs that he doesn't. Jax bursts through the door with his own gun drawn, the situation is calmed by Jimmy who greets Jax and gets him to put the weapon down. Jax tries to coax Chibs to leave, who marches up to him and tells him that he isn't his VP anymore, now he is going Nomad.

The trio return to the clubhouse, everyone else is glad to see Chibs safe and sound. Chibs is immediately confrontational to Clay, demanding to know why he wasn't informed of the recent developments surrounding the IRA, the League and Jax going Nomad. Clay tells him that they wanted him to heal, to which Chibs replies that he is all better. Tig says they can discuss it all at the table later.

Chibs takes a drive to clear his head, he is cut off by an SUV and sees Stahl emerge from it. Stahl first taunts Chibs about the current state of SAMCRO and then says that she wants Jimmy O, she knows all about their troubled history. Stahl gives Chibs a card and says perhaps they can help each other.

Chibs meets with Fiona at a bar, he is disappointed to see Jimmy is there, Fiona apologises as Chibs and Jimmy sit to talk business. Jimmy tells Chibs that he wants to sit down with Clay to try and repair their relationship after Edmond and Cameron decided to partner up with the League. Jimmy tries to convince Chibs that he didn't know about this, but Chibs doesn't buy it. Chibs head to leave, ultimately refusing to speak to Clay about Jimmy's proposition, until Jimmy all but threatens to assault Kerrianne, saying that she is reaching a good age and besides, she isn't actually his daughter. Jimmy's devastating threat leaves Chibs reeling as he exits.

Chibs' head spins as he meets with Stahl, cornered, he has no other play to make. He lays out a list of demands to Stahl, SAMCRO are not to be touched, the assault charge currently pending over the Sons gets dropped and Fiona is given immunity as Jimmy will kill his family if he finds out Chibs conspired. Stahl tells Chibs she is going to need something to go on and Chibs agrees to give her the location of the IRA gun storage safehouse, Stahl agrees.

At the table, Jax's Nomad vote is up, there are plenty of hesitant responses but the vote eventually goes through. Jax seems stoic, telling the table he will speak to Quinn before standing and cutting off his SAMCRO flashes from his kutte.

"Service"[]

The following morning at Church, the table is full, plenty of people are surprised to see the SAMCRO patches back on Jax's kutte as he sits at Clay's side once again. Jax explains that he isn't going Nomad and Clay explains why, Gemma was assaulted and raped by the League. The table is furious at Clay's bombshell and voices begin to raise demanding blood. Jax and Clay silence their brothers, explaining that they need to be patient and find a weakness, their gun charges are still pending and a show of force will land them right back in jail, exactly what Zobelle wants. Clay demands SAMCRO swallow the urge to kill any League members until they have a final plan. The topic of their gun problems arise, with Clay explaining there has been a delay in getting the Chinese guns, they will need to tap in to their personal stock.

Stahl and Chibs meet, Stahl displays paperwork saying that in exchange for Chibs' cooperation, immunity for Fiona and protection for her and Kerrianne, Chibs' daughter. Chibs tells Stahl that wasn't the deal, he wants immunity for SAMCRO. Stahl explains it cannot happen as their other charge is still hanging over them. Chibs stands to leave, refusing to help. Stahl tells Chibs that Edmond has already caved and is going to turn informant, if Jimmy finds this out, he could figure out that Chibs got the ball rolling in the first place. Stahl leaves Chibs with the paperwork, telling him he has until she leaves to sign it or there's no telling what will happen to his family.

SAMCRO later meet with Jimmy, they attempt to fix the relationship, Chibs and Jimmy's hatred for each other certainly makes it difficult but a deal is eventually struck. Jimmy assures Clay that he will be receving Zobelle's next gun shipment and he is done dealing to the League. Clay and Jimmy shake hands.

Chibs is later found crying by Gemma in the garage, he tells Gemma that he has done something very wretched and doesn't know how to dig himself out of it. Gemma tells Chibs that whatever it is, he needs to fess up to the club, it is the only way out.

Chibs enters Church and asks to speak to the table. He confesses to the club that Stahl approached him and offered him a deal, Chibs has foolishly accepted but nothing is official, Stahl offered immunity for Chibs' family and the club. The deal hasn't gone through as Edmond turned on Cameron already; if Cameron gives up Jimmy, Stahl is going to tell the IRA that Chibs started everything, putting his family in danger. Clay tells Chibs that he didn't make any deal, things can still be fixed. The meeting is interrupted when without warning, Piney bursts through the doors and begins shooting at Clay. He misses and is quickly restrained, Clay stands and attempts to attack Piney back but he is held back also. Opie asks for the room.

Opie approaches Clay after and says that Piney did what he had to do as he thought that Opie would be trying to kill Clay also, he didn't want that burden to be on him. Clay hisses that there is probably some truth to that and Opie agrees. Opie says that he wants Clay to give Piney a pass, he has nothing without the club. Piney goes to leave, Clay tells him that he should never enter the clubhouse again without his kutte, Piney retorts that it won't happen again.

"The Culling"[]

With a war with the League fast approaching, SAMCRO go in to lockdown, families and friends pile in to the clubhouse to keep everyone safe whilst the Sons handle business. Clay speaks to the masses, telling them the club is embarking on a mission that could put members in danger, everyone is safe under SAMCRO's roof. SAMTAC have also come down to provide backup.

In Church, the club discuss their plan to deal with the ATF heat and Stahl breathing down their necks. Chibs is still concerned that Jimmy is going to hurt his family after Stahl exposes him as a rat, Jax tries to reassure him. Unser steps forward and gives the club some images of Zobelle meeting with the IRA, with these images they should be able to convince Jimmy that the betrayal is from Edmond and Cameron, not from SAMCRO.

Chibs meets with Fiona, he tells her that she may be in danger as the ATF is threatening to make him look like a rat. Kerrianne is safe however, SAMBEL will be looking over her. Chibs tries to convince Fiona to come with him to the clubhouse to keep her safe. The pair kiss.

Using Chuckie as a distraction, the Sons are able to lead the ATF away from Edmond's stash house, they meet Jimmy there and pick up their guns.

The Sons then ride to the camping shop, knowing the ATF is on them. They enter the business and Stahl isn't far behind, they are all detained and the box in the SUV that left with a 'fake' Jimmy in is bought inside. Edmond is also dragged in by the ATF, confirming to the Sons that he has turned. The crate is opened and two dead rats lie inside, symbolosing Edmond and Cameron. With no Jimmy, no guns and no choice, Stahl lets the Sons go.

The Sons ride out to meet the League for their fight night, organised earlier by Jax and Weston. As expected, Weston has turned up with numerous men and weapons. Weston scoffs at them telling them "Fair is for losers, I'd rather win". Niners and Triad members armed to the teeth emerge from the trees, outnumbering the Aryans at least 4 to 1. Weston submits, telling his guys to drop their weapons. Jax suggests they stick to the plan and a mass brawl breaks out between the 20 men, every member of the Sons wins their 1 on 1 as sirens begin blaring. Hale arrives on the scene, furious at the Sons and the AB for getting in to it inside Charming. Weston is then arrested for arson by Hale. Clay tells Tig to call Unser and get him to move on the cigar shop.

SAMCRO soon arrive at the cigar shop and Clay hits Polly Zobelle, Zobelle's daughter. Unser jumps to his feet but Clay assures Unser that Polly is just as guilty as the rest of them as he takes his gun to her. Zobelle, hearing the commotion runs to the front of the store and is quickly restrained by the Sons. Clay puts his gun to Zobelle when suddenly Hale arrives with backup. Zobelle immediately tells Hale that the Sons are threatening his life. Unser pulls rank, telling Hale that he is still the Chief and he has the situation under control, he and the other deputies need to leave. The deputies comply, as Hale prepares to leave, Zobelle shouts that he and Polly are in posession of narcotics, one of the deputies pulls out a brick of heroin and Hale arrests them both. Jax tells Zobelle that they are going to kill him as he is taken away.

"Na Trioblóidí"[]

The Sons anxiously wait outside Charming PD, wanting to know the fate of both Zobelle and Weston. Unser exits and tells them that Stahl is in a meeting with the FBI and Zobelle, he has no more news.

Unser later approahes the Sons again, he tells them that both Zobelle and Weston are walking out today. Chuckie's eye witness testimony will not hold up as he is a convicted felon and Zobelle has been working with the FBI all along as an informant, giving them dirt on individuals that join L.O.A.N, allowing him to continue his illegal deeds with protection from above. The Sons prepare to tail Zobelle as he leaves, when suddenly Mayans arrive, they escort Zobelle away, looking to protect their business partner.

A stalemate is happening on main street in Charming. The Mayans are posted up outside Impeccable Smokes with Zobelle inside and SAMCRO wait on the outside. Jax speaks to the rest of the crew and Unser tells them that Weston has now been released, he is stopping off to see his kids and then he is getting out of town. Jax, Chibs and Opie head out to deal with him.

As the trio track down Weston, they see that he is actually taking his son out with him, this concerns them and Jax orders for Unser to be called to find out what is going on. They make plans to deal with Weston when he has been separated from his kid. Weston is in a tattoo parlour but fortunately, the owner, Irish Freddy is a friend of the club and Opie gives him a call and asks him to assist in dealing with Weston. Opie gives Freddy a call and Freddy agrees to help, sending Weston to the bathroom is 5 minutes where the club will deal with him.

They make their way to the bathroom through a back door and wait for Weston's arrival. To the Son's shock, Weston enters with his son. Weston realises his time is up and accepts his fate. Weston’s main priority is keeping his son safe, and is allowed to give him some final words before telling him to never talk to the cops and sends him away. Weston calmly takes a seat in the toilet stall and bowing his head; Jax shoots him six times with a silenced pistol, killing him.

Back at the clubhouse, Jax tells the rest of SAMCRO that Weston is dead, the Sons make a toast, knowing only half the battle is won.

Soon, Juice calls Clay, telling him that Alvarez and Zobelle are on the move, SAMCRO arm up, ready to face the remanants of the League and the Mayans.

Soon, Juice calls Clay, telling him that Alvarez and Zobelle are on the move, SAMCRO arm up, ready to face the remanants of the League and the Mayans. They chase the Mayans and Zobelle on to the highway, using one of Unser's trucks, Happy, Piney and other Sons are able to get the jump on the Mayans, killing a few of them and sending Alvarez packing as Clay warns him this is his only chance to flee, Alvarez gathers his crew and races off, leaving Zobelle to flee in the car.

Jax receives a call from Tara, she begins to explain that Gemma followed Polly Zobelle before Tara begins to yell on the other end before the line goes dead. Jax is concerned, telling Clay that he needs to return home and see what is going on. Opie and Chibs go with him. The trio race back to Jax's house and are met with the sight of Half-Sack dead on the floor, stabbed to death. Chibs briefly drops to his knees, deeply saddened to see his prospect killed. They find Tara in the nursery tied up, she frantically tells them that Cameron has kidnapped Abel. A devastated Jax makes a call to Clay, explaining what has happened.

SAMCRO link up and give chase to Cameron who is heading for the docks, the Sons are too late and stand on the dock as Cameron races away in his boat with Abel on board.

Season 3[]

"SO"[]

The club head over to Jax's house, he is understanbly a wreck, barely moving and drunk and high. His son, Abel was kidnapped by Cameron and Half-Sack was stabbed to death. Tara explains to Clay that he has been like this since Abel's kidnapping. Chibs tells Jax that they have some information on a guy that made the fake ID for Cameron, they finally have a lead.

The club meet up with the document forger and are able to get some more information, it seems like Cameron is trying to leave the country but the forger says he didn't have a baby with him when he visited him. The club try to keep Jax hopeful as it means that Cameron is still in the states and they can get to him. The Sons then head to a marina to scout out a boat that could belong to Cameron, they find nothing of value and begin to look for evidence. Two men arrive and appear shifty, the Sons give chase and catch up to them and their large crew, guns are quickly drawn but Jax is able to diffuse the situation, explaining they just wanted some information. One of the men explains that Cameron traded some AK's and the boat for quick cash, Cameron didn't have a baby with him, however.

The club head to the Church for Half-Sack's wake. Kozik is present and he explains that he was hoping to jump charter to SAMCRO but he knows that Tig is likely to downvote him. Clay tells Kozik that they can handle Tig and get him on board. The club pay their respects to Half-Sack, upon his coffin is his kutte, addorned with Half-Sack's full colours, posthumously making him a full patch of the Sons.

As everyone regroups outside the church, a van pulls up and begins firing at the crowd, people dive for cover as bullets fly through the air. Numerous people are hit, including Chucky and a young boy, the most notable casualty of all being Hale, who was run over by the van driver and dragged along the street, Unser and Jacob rush to his aid but quickly realise that he is dead, his brains leaking on to the road. One of the shooters fell from the fan after Charming PD exchanged fire with the van. Overwhelmed with emotion and rage, Jax attacks the shooter, bursting through the cops and slamming the man's face against the road.

"Oiled"[]

Jax exits jail with Unser and meets the rest of SAMCRO outside. Unser tells them that there have no information on the funeral shooter, he isn't a Mayan and has no obvious affiliation. Unser says that his crew aren't handling the shooter's security at the hospital.

Eager to gain some information about the drive by. The club visit St. Thomas where the shooter is being held and with assistance from Chuckie gain access to his room and rough him up a little but are unable to get any information out of him. Partly, because Jax broke his jaw. Jax and Opie are able to deduce however that he is a member of the Calaveras Motorcycle Club. A puppet club for the Mayans.

SAMCRO then head to a sit down with Jimmy to clear the tension. Clay states that Gemma didn't kill Edmond, it was Stahl. Jimmy thinks about what he has heard and seems to believe them. The Sons then ask about Abel and Jimmy claims that his intel tells him that Cameron is still in the US, despite the Sons believing otherwise. Jimmy says if he hears anything, the Sons will hear.

The Sons link up with the Grim Bastards Lodi charter, their President, Taddarius Orwell "T.O." Cross agrees to help the Sons look for a Calaveras shotcaller whom they can interrogate about the shooting.

They enlist the help of a bounty hunter to get information on Cameron, they assist him with a capture and he agrees to work with them and find them something on Cameron.

With information gained about the Calaveras, SAMCRO pay a visit to the home of Hector Salazar, the President of the Calaveras, they beat him and his girlfriend, Luisa but he refuses to give up information about his club's partnership with the Mayans. After some convincing, Salazar gives up that his club is being patched over so they can push heroin for the Mayans in to Stockton prisons. The Sons contemplate killing Salazar but realise it will cause another war which they cannot get in to right now, they have too much on their plates.

In Church, the club learn that Cameron is in Vancouver with Abel after the bounty hunter supplied them with some images.

Chibs actively joins the search for Abel along with the rest of SAMCRO. His history with Jimmy O causes him to lack trust in Jimmy's information about Abel's location. When SAMCRO goes to Belfast, Chibs is reunited with his estranged wife and his daughter. He is seemingly glad to see many of his former SAMBEL club mates. Sadly, Chibs suffers the loss of his nephew Padraic Telford, who is killed in an explosion set up by Liam O'Neill on Jimmy O's orders. The explosion also kills several other members of SAMBEL. Chibs and SAMCRO later get revenge by killing O'Neill, while also discovering Keith McGee's betrayal. Back in Charming, Chibs finally gets his revenge on Jimmy by giving him the same Glasgow Smile that Jimmy gave him and subsequently stabbing him to death. He then uses Jimmy's own blood to paint a True IRA symbol on the rear windshield of Stahl's cruiser to make it look like the True IRA committed the hit.

Season 4[]

Along with Opie, Piney and Kozik, Chibs coordinated the day-to-day operations of the club while the others were in prison and organized the setup of increased IRA hardware traffic. Chibs was at Stockton State Prison‏‎ welcoming Clay, Jax, Bobby, Juice, Happy, and Tig after they were released from prison and later attended Opie's wedding. Chibs, Bobby, Happy, and Juice snuck away from the meeting to the Russian hardware, eventually double-crossing and murdering the Russians, as well as an undercover FBI agent. Along with the rest of the club, Chibs is reluctant to enter into a deal with the drug cartel, but points out that the high volume of guns being moved will keep the IRA happy. However, he votes against the deal when it comes to a final decision, stating he doesn't trust the cartel.

Chibs, along with Juice and Happy, takes part in the interrogation of Filthy Phil and Ratboy after a kilo of cocaine is stolen from the stash that was muled up from Tucson for the Mayans. Chibs and Happy are adamant that one of the two prospects is responsible and has to be punished, while Juice tries to be merciful, since he is the one who actually took it. Juice is blackmailed by Sheriff Roosevelt and Assistant U.S. District Attorney, Lincoln Potter. Roosevelt told Juice to get him a sample of the cocaine. Juice did so to save the club finding out about his father. During all this, Juice was doubtful about his future in the club because of Roosevelt and Potter. This led Juice to attempt to end his own life. Later on in the same episode, Chibs found out and became a very strong 'father' figure towards Juice. Worrying about his situation and his status with the club if they ever found out his father was black, he asks Chibs for his views on the rule forbidding African Americans from being part of SAMCRO, since Chibs's wife and daughter are both black. Chibs remarks that the rules have been there since day one of SAMCRO, and while he doesn't necessarily agree with all of them, picking and choosing which rules to follow and which to not will cause the entire organization to fall apart.

Season 5[]

Chibs is shown to sticking closer to Jax than ever in his new position as Sergeant-at-Arms. When the Sons are attacked by Niners during a muling run, who are scorned by Tig trying to kill Laroy Wayne and accidentally killing his girlfriend Veronica Pope, he attends a meeting between the Sons, the Niners, and powerful gangster Damon Pope (Veronica's father) to cease hostilities. He along with Jax is charged with the highway shooting of one of the Niners and Tig with running down Veronica, when they are identified by witnesses bought by Pope, who wants them inside so they can be killed by black prison gangs he controls. The three are arrested, along with Opie (who assaults Roosevelt) and sent to Stockton. They are initially protected by Mexicans thanks to the Cartel, but Pope demands a dead Son for the Niner and cop killed by them as well as Tig to stay inside forever. Opie takes the fall and Chibs screams in horror as he watches Opie beaten to death. When they get out, Jax makes a new deal with Pope to cut his gang in on the muling business for a bigger payment. He also gives them the identity of address of the prison sergeant who had Opie killed. They track him down and Jax beats him to death with a snow globe, until Chibs pulls him off. When it's revealed the three Nomads Gogo, Greg, and Frankie are behind the break-ins they try and track them down. GoGo and Greg are killed when they try to kill Unser. They later find Frankie who robs Nero of $150,000 of cash and watches and kidnaps and injures Chibs. He is later told by Jax and Bobby of the RICO case facing SOA and the rat who helped the Feds set it up: Juice. He is enraged at the betrayal and embarrassed at the leverage; Juice's dad is black. When they find the man who beat Opie to death, he is revealed to be Grim Bastard President T.O.'s cousin. Jax promises not to kill him, but after questioning him on the others, Chibs shoots him in the head with a silenced pistol. He states they did what they had to do. Since Bobby disagrees and it could come to a head, Jax asks Chibs if he is in his corner, to which he states "I've always been there and I always will. I love you kid. You understand that?" and then goes to clean up from the shooting.

Season 6[]

ChibsvJax2

Chibs confronts Jax

After Bobby resigned as Vice President, Chibs was promoted by Jax to the position, his former rank of Sergeant-at-Arms going to Happy. Chibs advised Jax on all of his affairs, initially being less vocally opposed than Bobby had been as VP. Later, after a school shooting that was performed using one of the guns the Sons sold, Jax decided to tell the Irish that he was wanting to get SAMCRO out of guns, telling them they'd no longer be delivering their weapons. Chibs grew frustrated with Jax, warning him that they had weapons that needed to be delivered. Things grew worse when Galen and the Irish told Jax that he wasn't getting out guns, leading to a physical altercation between Galen and Jax. Jax told him that they were done being the Irish's delivery men and as vengeance for what he saw as betrayal, Galen killed Filthy Phil and V-Lin and mutilated their bodies. The Sons then focused on getting into contact with the Irish Kings, leaders of the IRA, to tell them what had happened between the Sons and Galen. When Chibs learned that Jax offered to hand over the distribution of the Irish weapons to August Marks, a black gangster and the crime kingpin in Oakland, he was furious with Jax for making that decision behind the Sons' backs and for his foolishness in thinking the Irish would agree where instead it just insulted him. He continually told Jax that he had to bring big decisions to the table and had no right to make them on his own. Jax's decision to pull out of the guns convinced Galen and the Irish Kings that they should sever their ties with SAMCRO. When they planted explosives in the clubhouse, they planned on killing every member of SAMCRO along with their families who were there under lockdown. Jax discovered a pen belonging to the Irish though and discovered the plot only mere minutes before the bombs were set to go off. Jax rushed to get Abel out of the bedroom and Chibs waited loyally to make sure his president was out before being the last to flee the clubhouse as it exploded behind them.

Chibs and Jax avoid the explosion

Season 7[]

In season 7, Chibs has a brief romantic relationship with Eli Roosevelt's replacement, Lt. Althea Jarry. With Chibs and Unser at a diner (Juice was holding Unser secretly at gunpoint), Juice asks what he had to do to be right with the club again. Chibs responds with: "If I were you, I’d take that gun, put it in my mouth, and pull the trigger."

Jax, after being voted to "meet Mr. Mayhem" for killing the SOA Indian Hills president, Jury White, hands over SAMCRO's presidency to Chibs.

Murders Committed[]

Motorcycles[]

Like Bobby 'Elvis' Munson, Chibs has more than 1 motorcycle, but uses his Dyna more often. This is a Harley Davidson Dyna Street Bob. It has matte black painted custom Z-Bars with risers. Along with Bobby, Chibs is one of the only two members of the Charming chapter not to have the front drag fairing. He has the Saltire embroidered on the rear of his seat to show his true roots back to Scotland. The Dyna was blown up by Galen, along with Jax and Happy's bike, when he was showing the Galindo cartel their weapons.

Chibs' other bike, like Bobby, is a Harley Davidson Touring Street Glide, which first appeared in season 3. He uses this instead of his Dyna for long runs with the club.

In the Mayans MC episode "Kukulkan", Chibs now owns a black roadking with ape hangers, and a large grey anarchy symbol on the gastank.

Trivia[]

  • Chibs states that "Chibs" is Scottish slang for "street blade".
  • In the season two episode "Falx Cerebri", it is revealed that Chibs is 36 years old.
  • In Seeds, when Clay gives everyone money, Chibs says "All about the Benjamins", which is a movie that Tommy Flanagan starred in in 2002.
  • After the episode Red Rose, during which Juice is killed in prison, Chibs, along with Jax and Tig, were the only remaining original members of SAMCRO from Season One. By the end, he and Tig are the only members left, due to Jax's suicide in the finale.
    • Likewise, he and Tig are the only main cast members from season one to survive the series.
  • Chibs is the fourth President of SAMCRO, and the first President not from the First 9 or a member of the Teller family.
  • Chibs has held more positions than any other known member of the Sons of Anarchy. He held the title of Sergeant-at-Arms, then Vice President, and later President of a charter. He also went through the most ranks out of any other member, starting the series off as just a Full Patch, though he was officially known as the club medic, until Tara stepped in around this time as well.
    • Bobby is the only member to contend with him in terms of positions held, being the Club Secretary, Vice President, and acting President, albeit very briefly.
  • Arie Verveen, who played Liam O'Neill in Season 3, appeared along side Tommy Flanagan in the movie "Sin City," appearing as a group of Irish mercenaries.
  • Happy revealed that Chibs was the one who betted on Chucky in a card game against Coco in "Xbalanque".
  • When Chibs appears on Mayans M.C., he seems to be wearing Clay's golden air force pin on his kutte. This makes little sense as Chibs was never in the US military, Clay has been dead for about 5 years and he had been excommunicated from the club, Chibs would not have been wearing the pin as a sign of respect.
