‘Sons of Anarchy’ Series Finale: The Return Of The Homeless Woman, Her Story Explained
Played by actress Olivia Brunette, the homeless woman in FX biker drama series "Sons of Anarchy" returned for the last time in the show's Season 7 finale. Brunette appeared seven times before episode 13's "Papa's Goods" where she made her final appearance as the mysterious "Sons of Anarchy" homeless woman who helped Jax (Charlie Hunnam) get to August Marks (Billy Brown).
Known as the angel of death based on fans speculations, the homeless woman appeared on Season 1 when Jax found out that Tig (Kim Coates) and Clay (Ron Perlman) are responsible for Donna's death. Her second appearance was in Season 2, where she appeared twice with Gemma, first was in the church after Gemma was raped and second time was in the doctor's office when the SAMCRO's matriarch was seeking professional advice after her horrible experience with the white supremacist.
Next, she appeared in Belfast on "Sons of Anarchy" Season 3 when Jax was desperately looking for Abel who was kidnapped by a gang rival. In Season 4, she appeared again as if giving the tattooed biker a warning before Tara's was kidnapped and broke her hand in the process. Her last appearance before the show's finale was in Season 5 when she was seen "petting" a doll in a garbage bin, while Jax walked away confused after seeing her.
On his latest interview with Yahoo! TV, executive producer Paris Barclay mentioned the homeless woman as she is still mystery for most of the fans. When asked about her part for the "Sons of Anarchy" series finale, Barclay stated that her role in the story is not yet done.
Series creator Kurt Sutter revealed in his video blog WTFSutter that he has no intention to explain the woman's arc and encouraged the fans to make their own theory. Other fans believed that she is a guardian angel for Gemma and Jax while others think that she is a representation of Jax's internal conscience.
"She may be part Grim Reaper, she may be a spiritual guide," the "Red Rose" director told TV Line on Jax's final scene with the homeless woman where she said, "It's time." "It's a story that's constructed to create certain feelings, and that's what that lady is all about. I do love that something like her bread ends up on the side of the road at the end."
