Warning: Spoilers
Not disappointed by this episode again. It once again so well combines all the elements of the show that I loved. There is brutality and yet so much beautiful moments.

I am one of thee people who has made the prediction that pretty much nobody will survive this show. So seeing all the important characters being killed one episode before thee end was not all that shocking. Yet all their deaths were so incredibly moving.

Juice, he is one of my favorite characters. I knew he will be out a long time ago, actually he survived a quiet a long time after I predicted his death first. His death showed him knowing that there is no need to fight for survival anymore. He knew he has no chance. So he got his death just as free of torture as he could after eating his pie. It was indeed moving.

Seeing Wayne die was also pretty sad. I first didn't think of him as a big character but his involvement grew. And the more we knew about his attachment to Gemma the more we could understand it. This is also how he went out, trying to protect her. Great scene. Great acting. Was kind of chilling though to see Jax taking him out so easily without remorse. I guess he is just used to it.

And of course Gemma. This episode is all about her getting ready for her death. She saw the house she as born in in the last episode. And now she makes this journey back to her dad and old family home. As they say before we die we go through our whole life again. This is in a way what she did, go back to her purer times and have the memories and feel the innocence. The death scene was intense. Jax's emotions and all she was saying to him. I just don't know why he HAD to do it as she said it, not that there is such a rule.

Now up to the last episode. I am just not sure what else is left to be resolved. Will let myself be surprised.
