Plot

Ten days after the events of season 6, Jax is in prison due to parole violation. He is seen coping with the loss of Tara by beating up a prisoner, which later turns out to be doing a favor for the neo-nazi prisoner, Ron Tully. Jax is released from prison and Gemma picks him up. Meanwhile, Wendy - who stayed in rehab nine days later - decides to persuade Jax by helping Gemma to take care of Abel and Thomas daily. Wendy discovers Juice in her apartment, which later turns out that Gemma helped Juice by hiding him from the club due to his betrayal. The club, lead by Bobby and Chibs, discover Jax is released and head over to Scoops to greet him. Jax tells the club that since his mistakes caused Tara's death, he wants payback to whoever's responsible and the club accepts his need for vengeance. Later the same day, Nero, who has been with Mayans, has been participating as a negotiator to avoid casualties in Stockton since the Mayans killed the One-Niners and stole their guns. Nero greets Jax and the two discuss business with the Mayans and Chinese and invites both groups to Jax's homecoming party at Redwoody (porn studio). Wayne Unser stops by Wendy's apartment, and discovers an SOA bag. Growing suspicious, Unser stops by again to see what was in the bag, only to be put at gunpoint by Juice, and tied up and gagged in the bathtub. Later that night, the Sons greet the Grim Bastards, with the feud ended. Jax and Gemma reveal to T.O. that the Chinese "killed" Tara. The Grim Bastards grab one of Lin's guys and drop him off at Jax's house. Gemma is comforted by Nero, as Jax kills the man by putting a carving fork into the back of his skull.

SAMCRO enlists help from Indian Hills President Jury White and two young men named Renny and Gib O'Leary. They intercept the drugs that are being held by Lin's men by killing everyone and take two kilos of cocaine. With their task done, Jax, Chibs, and Bobby kill Renny and Gib and plant the cocaine at their house. Unknown to them, Jury checks in on the boys, only to find them dead. Jury is seen cradling Gib in his arms. Meanwhile, Juice decides to release Unser, only for him to make a deal with Juice if he gives intel on Tara's murder. Unser then helps Juice escape from Charming. At the same time, the new Sheriff Althea Jarry is introduced ito Charming, with her first case being to find the person(s) responsible for Tara and Eli Roosevelt's deaths.

Gemma, Wendy, and Unser agree that the longer Juice stays in Charming, the more he is becoming unstable. Juice enlists Unser for help by getting him to call Chibs and arranging a meeting with at the diner, only for him to be cornered by Juice. Juice offers redemption for his actions, but Chibs tells Juice, "If I were you, I'd take my gun, put it in my mouth and pull the trigger." Feeling lost, Juice says goodbye and leaves. Gemma, Unser, and Wendy check Juice into a motel to make sure he leaves Charming.

With everything going SAMCRO's way, SAMCRO makes a heroin trade with the Neo-Nazis. Sheriffs Cane and Eglee observe the trade, but one of Tully's men sees them and kills Cane and critically injures Eglee. As SAMCRO deals with the setback, one of Lin's men throws a grenade and blows up Scoops, but SAMCRO and Jarry survives. Realizing it was retaliation, Jax goes to see if the guns are still safely stored, but they have been taken by the Chinese. SAMCRO member Orlin West was killed in the process. A number of Lin's men arrive at Diosa and their leader Nero and tells him that the attack is intended for SAMCRO. SAMCRO and Nero race to Diosa only to find the Diosa girls, the customers, and Collette have all been killed.

Feeling responsible for everyone's death, especially that of Collette, Jax decides to speed up his quest for revenge. As SAMCRO talk about their next move against Lin and finding the person who gave up intel about the warehouse, Nero decides to get answers of why Lin killed everyone at Diosa by talking to Barosky, however, Lin and his men are already there. Lin tells Nero that Jax has lied to both of them and that SAMCRO has stolen their heroin. He then tells Nero either he gives up Jax and SAMCRO or he kills Nero and his disabled son. Feeling frustrated, Nero confronts Jax about why he attacked Lin. Jax tells him that Gemma "witnessed" Lin's men leaving Jax's house the night Tara was murdered. Nero meets with Lin and tells him that Jax and Chibs will be alone and they will be surrendering the heroin they stole. As Lin takes Jax and Chibs prisoners, Stockton police confront Lin and his men and free Jax and Chibs, a trap set up by SAMCRO. Jax and Lin begin to brawl with Jax gaining the upper hand over Lin and pressing him about killing Tara. As Lin keeps denying any role of Tara's murder, Jarry gives Chibs heads up that Charming sheriffs will be in Stockton. With no other option, Jax and SAMCRO abort their plan for revenge to evade arrest as Charming sheriffs arrive to arrest Lin and his men for possession of heroin. SAMCRO later kill the remaining Chinese that weren't with Lin.

With Gemma and Wendy at Redwoody due to a lockdown and Unser investigating the case of Tara's murder along with Jarry, Juice temporarily stays at a motel. He hears about the massacre at Diosa and grows increasingly paranoid that an Asian man at the motel is working for Lin. When the man enters his room, Juice knocks him out and kills him. However, it turns out the man works at the front desk and had a master set of keys. Knowing that Juice would become more unstable and dangerous if he stays, Gemma decides to take Juice to Oregon to stay at her father's home. When he notices Gemma took a different direction and said Nero would help him, Juice reveals the truth of why the club wanted him dead. He knows that Gemma lied to him and is secretly planning to kill him. The two have a brief scuffle and Gemma crashes the truck. Gemma tries to run for it, but Juice stops her. She pleads for her life. Meanwhile SAMCRO make their way back to Charming.

Gemma, alone in the middle of nowhere, goes to a diner and calls Unser and Wendy to pick her up. As Gemma bonds with a waitress who's a single mother, Unser and Wendy arrive and asks Gemma why Juice would want to kill her. Unser shares the information with Gemma that Lin was arrested and he wants Gemma to identify Lin as Tara's killer. Gemma refuses, but later Jax tells her that the DA wants Lin to make a deal. Reluctant, Gemma identifies Lin as one of Tara's killers.

Juice, now on his own, is desperate to find any means of transportation. He turns to the Mayans for transport to Mexico in exchange for intel on SAMCRO. Interested, the Mayans decide to take it to the table. However, it turns out that the Mayans have called SAMCRO and explain that they have Juice. Jax and Alvarez work out a deal whereby if SAMCRO hands over the gun business to the Mayans instead of August Marks, then the Mayans will hand over Juice. Nero is also a prisoner of the Mayans due to his role in helping Jax set up Lin in prison. He is being held in the same room as Nero. Wondering why Juice is there, Juice explains to Nero that due to revealing he killed Darvany to him, the club wants him but couldn't face them because he was afraid to die. Nero was free to go and notices Gemma's truck in the garage. Nero goes to T-M and tells Gemma of the situation he was in, and that Juice was captured as well and to be collected by SAMCRO, making Gemma nervous. With the deal worked out, Alvarez hands over Juice to SAMCRO.

The next day, Jax gives Juice his vest back, with Juice purposely shooting at the cops and being arrested. It is revealed that Juice made a deal with SAMCRO if he kills Lin, then he would be pardoned of his crimes and back into SAMCRO. If unsuccessful, then Tully would execute Juice. It is also known that throughout this season, SAMCRO were helping a single mother named Loutreesha Haddem and her son named Ajay McQueen. by keeping them alive from August Marks. As SAMCRO and the Mayans are making their move against August Marks, Bobby has been attacked by a mercenary named Moses Cartwright, who is hired by August Marks. He tortures Bobby for information on the location of Loutreesha and Ajay. Moses carves Bobby's left eye and sends it to SAMCRO, leaving them distraught.

With Juice being captured by SAMCRO, Gemma grows increasingly nervous due to Juice might expose her secret to the club. Happy and Rat, two SAMCRO members, tells Gemma that Jax needs her for club business, but won't explain why. Thinking Juice exposed the truth to Jax and wants to kill her, Gemma goes to her house and places a gun in her purse. Before she left with Happy and Rat Boy, she holds Thomas and weeps by telling him, "Killing your mommy was an accident." Unbeknownst to her, Abel overhears her conversation with Thomas. When Gemma arrives at the cabin, Montez shows her Loutreesha and Ajay, and tells her that she was here to take care of the mother and son. Feeling misunderstood and relived, Gemma happily decides to play her part by helping the family.

Feeling responsible for Bobby's torture, Jax plans to give up his desire for vengeance to rescue Bobby, but Chibs reassures him that everybody, including Bobby, knew the risks and Tara was the reason why Jax wanted revenge. After finding information of Gib O'Leary's whereabouts, SAMCRO heads over there, only to find Gib's mother, her boyfriend, and her son shooting at them as a misunderstanding. Gib's mother reveal to SAMCRO that Gib's father is Jury White. They later confront Jury to see if he sold SAMCRO out to Lin due to killing his son. Jury tells Jax that despite wanting to kill Jax himself, he would never betray the club. Jax wasn't convinced, but Jury tells Jax that he became the "poison" that his father didn't want him to be. Jax tells Jury that he wasn't a club member when John was still alive. Jury reveals to Jax that although it was true, John trusted Jury more than anyone, and Jury became suspicious on the day that John died. He also reveals that even though Clay sabotaged his bike, John would've noticed it from the moment he started it, speculating that John died by suicide, not homicide. Jax doesn't believe Jury, but Jury tells him it doesn't matter how he died just as long as John never sees what Jax had become. A fight between Jax and Jury breaks out, leading to Jax killing Jury. Gaines, The VP of Indian Hills, wants answers of what has happened, as Jax explains that Jury admitted to Jax of selling out SAMCRO to Lin. Gaines, with no other option, is forced to head back to Indian Hills, but he will report all the details of what has happened to the other SOA charters. Jax and Chibs talk about what has happened that lead to much chaos, with Jax seeing it as self-defense, Gaines seeing it as murder, and the rest seeing it as total confusion between the two.

Meanwhile, Moses explains the situation to Bobby and offers him information on the mother and son, or Moses and his squad will torture Bobby again. Bobby refuses to give up intel, but Moses gives Bobby 24 hours for Bobby to give up. With the deadline almost up, SAMCRO calls Moses just in time to negotiate. However, Moses and his squad tortures Bobby again due to SAMCRO thinking their deal is negotiable. Moses sends another package to SAMCRO, this time sending Bobby's fingers from his left hand.

Now left with no other options, Jax brings Ajay and the pastor's body to August Marks in exchange for Bobby. With SAMCRO and Marks' crew leaving, Jax and August stay to make the exchange. Before Bobby is returned to Jax, August pulls his gun out from Bobby and told Jax there would be consequences if he betrays him. August then shoots Bobby in the head, killing him. Devastated by Bobby's death, Jax has August arrested by putting the blame on him of killing the people from church.

Unser and Jarry continue to investigate the mystery of Tara and Roosevelt's murders. The two become baffled that Gemma and Juice identified Dunn, one of Lin's men, as the killer. They later become suspicious after finding out Dunn was arrested in Las Vegas on the same night Tara was murdered. The two agree not to tell anyone about finding out about the lie.

Moses decides to kill SAMCRO on Marks' behalf by confronting Tyler, the leader of the One-Niners, of any intel on SAMCRO. They capture Rat Boy and T.O., and torture them the say way they did to Bobby. T.O gives in after being told that he would lose his left eye. Once Moses and his men reach to the location he was told, it turns out to be trap set by SAMCRO and the Aryan Brotherhood. They kill all of them except for the wounded Moses, who Jax and Chibs torture the same way he did to Bobby, and kill him.

Abel, who is trying to deal with Gemma's confession, self-inflicts scratches on his face but blames it on his little brother Thomas. This acting-out takes a more drastic step when he uses a fork to cut himself, but this time, blames it on Gemma. Confused, Jax asks why Abel would lie and inflict pain on himself. Nero and Wendy suggest that since losing Tara, he may have felt Gemma was trying to replace her in order to become a "new mommy". Due to the school calling child services, Jax tells Gemma that she can no longer be alone with Abel, otherwise they may take Abel away from him. After talking with Nero, Gemma decides to go with him to Norco to let things calm down with Abel. At home, Jax tells Abel the truth that Wendy was his "first mommy" and he and Wendy will always be just friends, making Wendy joyfully tear up. After being tucked into bed, Abel asks Jax if that is why "grandma killed my other mommy" so his "first mommy" could be with him. Jax is stunned.

Jax stays up all night thinking about Abel's question. Feeling guilty after Jax reveals the truth to Abel, Wendy tells Jax that Juice was staying at her apartment while she was in rehab, and that her, Gemma, and Unser were trying to help him get out of Charming. Now totally confused, Jax heads over to Unser and asks him to set up a meeting with Juice. Unser agrees, but not before threatening Jax that if he sabotages anything involving the case, he would stop helping SAMCRO and the family. Jax meets with Juice who has already killed Lin in jail. Lin had told Juice that it was Barosky who had revealed the location of Lin's stolen guns not Jury White. Jax tells Juice he knew about him staying at Wendy's and asks why would Gemma be helping him. After Jax tells Juice about Abel's self-inflicted wounds, Juice tearfully describes the events surrounding Tara's murder to Jax, who sobs and is visibly shaken up. He thanks Juice for telling him the truth and states, "I'll make sure it's quick."

Juice later calls Gemma from his cell and tells her that he has told the truth to Jax, leaving her stunned and devastated. Unable to face Jax, Gemma packs her luggage and goes to see Nero one last time. Gemma declares her love for Nero as Nero asks her what's going on just as Jax calls Nero asks him of Gemma's location, also telling him the truth of Tara's murder. Heartbroken, Nero tells Gemma to go as he cries over the fact that Gemma killed Tara.

Jax receives word from the SOA Indian Hills that there would be a forum involving the SOA organization on whether Jax was defending himself from Jury or if he committed the murder of the SOA president. Jax fills in the rest of SAMCRO with the truth, leaving them stunned as well. Jax and Nero talk about how to come out from this tragedy, with Nero tells Jax that a son killing his mother would be a "wound too deep to heal". Jax sobs while asking how Gemma could kill Tara as Gemma drives to an unknown place.

Gemma sleeps in the stolen car at the truck stop overnight. She meets a truck driver named Milo, and after bonding, she asks him to take her to the nursing home to see her father, Nate. He accepts, and drops her off as they wave goodbye to each other. Gemma goes the front office in order to see Nate; however, there was no record of Gemma due to Tara checking Nate in and giving the nursing home her information. Gemma later sees her father after giving Wendy's information. She apologizes to Nate, but is told by Nate that God forgives everyone. After saying goodbye to Nate, he later says his daughter used to play with flowers when she was young, therefore remembering who Gemma was. Gemma smiles before leaving the nursing home.

Meanwhile, Juice, who was beaten by security guards who are really Tully's men, is sent to an emergency room, but he is confronted by Lin's men and was tasked to kill Tully in exchange for protection, but not before being raped by Lin's men. During lunch, Juice confronts Tully, but tells him the Chinese tasked Juice to kill him. Juice then tells Tully if he were to kill Tully, then it could impact the relationship between SAMCRO and the Aryan Brotherhood. Juice gives the knife to Tully, and a fight breaks out with Tully repeatedly stabbing Juice in the neck and leaving him bleeding out.

As for Jax (who is wanted for assaulting Unser), he arranges a meeting with Unser, and reveals the truth to Unser, leaving him tearfully stunned as well. At Redwoody, the SOA organization with SAMDINO president Packer rules the forum. Jax tells the truth of killing Jury and lying about Jury being the rat. Not wanting a president killing another president to reach out to other charters, they demand a Mayhem vote, to which Jax agrees in exchange for the "unwritten bylaw" to be thrown out. Jax receives a call from Wendy, who tells him Gemma was visiting her dad at a nursing home. Jax decides to head over to Oregon to see Gemma. Wendy also reveals this to Nero, with Jax already knowing her location. Knowing Jax would kill Gemma, he sends Unser to arrest Gemma in order to save Jax's soul. Unser arrives in Nate's home and see Gemma looking at her pictures and recollecting. Unser tries to persuade Gemma to come with him, but she refuses, knowing her fate has already been sealed. Before Unser can call for backup, Jax arrives and persuades Unser to leave, but Unser refuses by stating, "This is all I got left." Jax understands his statement, then kills him by shooting him in the heart. Jax and Gemma talk, with Jax asking Gemma about his brother's birth and death certificates as well as his father's manuscript. Gemma asks Jax if they could go outside in the garden, to which he agrees. As Jax is prepared to kill Gemma, he is having a hard time going through with it, but Gemma reassures him that he has to do it, "because it's who we are". Now having his mother's confidence, Jax shoots her in the back of the head. Jax goes home and is comforted by Wendy as the two have sex later that night.

Jax wakes up and begins to burn everything relating to the Sons of Anarchy. He goes to the cemetery and places his "SO" "NS" rings on Opie's tombstone and his wedding ring on Tara's. SAMCRO patches in T.O., making him the first African American to be patched in SAMCRO. They later confront Jax about the other SOA charters still being in Charming, but Jax promises them they would know soon enough and that everything would be alright. As SAMCRO leaves, Jax pulls Chibs aside and fills in the details of the forum. Chibs is heartbroken that Jax will face Mayhem, but Jax tells him that leaders are faced with tough choices in life, and he will do what is necessary. Chibs is left with no choice but to trust Jax. SAMCRO has been helping the Mayans and the One-Niners to end their feud by killing the remaining Chinese. They also plan to deliver the gun pipeline to the Mayans, while the One-Niners take control of the heroin trade. They lure Connor into a trap by having Deacon pretending to escape from Real IRA. As Roarke prepares to execute Connor for his betrayal, Jax kills Roarke and his men as they explain to Connor that he will be giving the gun pipeline to the Mayans while they protect him.

Jax goes back to T-M to recover his father's motorcycle. Before he rides out, Nero and Wendy show up as Nero and Jax have a conversation about the whereabouts of Gemma. Jax explains to Nero that he's leaving and he wants Wendy and his sons to leave Charming as soon as they sell his house and stay at Norco. Jax also says that due to him being a criminal and killer, he can't be with his sons and he wants Nero to be their father figure for them. Jax says goodbye to Abel, Thomas, Wendy, and Chucky before he leaves.

Jax visits DA Patterson at her office as he reveals the truth behind Tara's murder and gives her the location to find Gemma and Unser's bodies. He also reveals to Patterson that by the end of the day, the violence in Stockton will be over. When Patterson asked what will happen after today, he replies, "The bad guys lose", and he leaves.

Jax kills Barosky for his betrayal to SAMCRO, and he waits outside the courthouse and kills August Marks and his assistant, fulfilling his revenge for Bobby. Jax goes to see SAMCRO (after they were forced to have a Mayhem vote for Jax), and he is prepared to be executed. However, it turns out to be a ruse after Chibs shoots Happy in the arm and they make up a cover story about how Jax escaped. Jax then cuts off his president patch and gives it to Chibs, only for him to gives his VP patch to Tig. Jax shares an emotional goodbye with SAMCRO. Jax says to them "I got this", the last words Opie said to Jax. SAMCRO sees Jax ride off one last time while elsewhere, Jarry puts out an APB on Jax.

Jax visits the site where his father was killed and points out that although it was too late to save Jax, it wasn't for Abel and Thomas, and that the boys wouldn't find out about "this life of chaos". As Jax prepares to ride, he is spotted by the police and Jax purposely shoots at them and begins a chase. Elsewhere, SAMCRO awaits news about Jax. Patterson finds Barosky's body while thinking about what Jax said to her earlier. The forensics zip up Gemma's corpse in a body bag. Nero takes Wendy and the boys to Norco. While on the way, Abel is seen playing with his "SON" ring, which Gemma gave him before she left Charming. During the chase, Jax sees a semi-trailer truck (the truck driver turns out to be Milo) on his opposite, and he smiles, lets go of the handles, and spreads out his arms as he shares a fate similar to his father's. The last scene is two crows eating wine-soaked bread and flying away once they hear a crash, and blood begins to seep onto the road and bread.
