In the final moments of the episode, Tara’s death was a devastating twist that left viewers shocked and heartbroken. It was a culmination of a series of misunderstandings and miscommunication between Tara, Gemma, and Jax.
Throughout the season, Tara had been struggling with her loyalty to Jax and the club. She had been contemplating leaving Charming with their two boys and starting a new life away from the violence and danger. However, her plans took a drastic turn when she found out about Gemma’s involvement in the death of her close friend, Tara’s mentor, and fellow doctor, Pamela. This revelation made Tara realize that she needed leverage to protect herself and her children from the dangers of the club and Gemma’s influence.
Feeling trapped and desperate, Tara made a difficult decision to secure immunity and witness protection for herself and her children by offering information to the authorities about the illegal activities of the club. She hoped that this drastic measure would ensure their safety and remove them from the toxic environment in Charming.
However, Tara’s plans were unknown to Jax and Gemma, leading to a series of tragic events. Gemma, already paranoid and fearing betrayal from Tara, discovered letters that Tara had written to her lawyer outlining her intentions to turn on the club. In a fit of rage and desperation to protect her son, Gemma jumped to the conclusion that Tara had indeed betrayed Jax.
In a heart-wrenching scene, Gemma confronted Tara in the kitchen, and in a moment of violent confusion, she brutally killed Tara with a carving fork. It was only after the act was done that Gemma realized the truth – Tara had not betrayed Jax at all. She had been trying to secure their safety and escape from the cycle of violence that had consumed their lives.
The aftermath of Tara’s death was devastating for Jax, who realized the truth too late. He was left shattered and consumed by guilt, blaming himself for not being there to protect Tara and failing to understand her true intentions.
The death of Tara was a turning point in the series, setting off a chain of events that would lead to further tragedy and chaos within the club. It was a stark reminder of the consequences of miscommunication and the destructive power of assumptions.
Tara did not betray Jax. Her actions were driven by a desperate desire to protect herself and their children from the violence and danger of the club. The misunderstanding and subsequent murder were the result of a series of events and miscommunication, leaving both Jax and Gemma devastated by the tragic loss.
