‘Sons of Anarchy’ Season 7, Episode 12 Spoilers: Nero’s Conflicting Relationship With Jax And Gemma, Will He Remain Loyal To SAMCRO’s Matriarch [VIDEO]
There is no doubt that episode 11's "Suits of Woe" are one of the show's most powerful episode in its entire Season 7. With two more episodes left before its final ride, "Sons of Anarchy" is gearing up for an explosive ending with Nero's (Jimmy Smiths) loyalty is torn between Jax (Charlie Hunnam) and Gemma (Katey Sagal).
Will he protect the SAMCRO's murderous matriarch to the very end, or will he help Jax to find Gemma to settle their dispute? On his latest interview with Entertainment Weekly, Smiths revealed the emotional moment when Nero desperately asked Gemma for the truth about Tara's death.
"From this guy who I really perceived as being somebody who's very solid in a lot of ways in this kind of outlaw world, there's a sensitivity to him but he's a kind of guy-guy, that was an interior little boy moment that was able to kind of peek through," he told the publication during a phone interview. "When two people are in love-real love-you're able to let down all of those guards that you put out there for the world."
With so many emotions going to his head, the final moment when Nero learned the truth about Tara's murder is one of the most powerful scenes of the show. Although he still wants to protect Gemma, but part of him wants to help Jax as he tried to warn him that killing his own mother will not give him the closure that he needs.
The former "NYPD Blue" actor also revealed how Nero and Jax are similar in many ways as they are both a father who lives in an outlaw world but still wants the best for their children. SOA fans are already speculating that Jax will end up on Nero's farm after the final ride but Smiths believed that the bond between the troubled biker and Nero "operates on a lot of different levels."
Family is still the utmost importance for Jax but Gemma's lies somehow turned him into someone he despise and cost the lives of many people close to his heart. Season 7's "Red Rose" will showcase a rollercoaster ride of emotion as the son haunts for his own mother.
"Sons of Anarchy" Season 7, episode 12 returns to FX on Dec. 2 at 10 p.m. after "Sons of Anarchy" Thanksgiving break. Check out "Red Rose" trailer courtesy of TvShow News Previews.
