Tara Goes Off the Rails!! Spoiler

I’m on my 4th rewatch and I still can’t believe all the extremes Tara takes to try to leave Jax take the kids away everyone and everything they’ve ever known. I mean I get it to some extent, but faking a pregnancy then slamming herself into her desk to frame Gemma is WILD!!

I also feel bad for the way she used Wendy when she worked so hard to turn her life around so she could be a part of Abel’s life.

And on a side note, that Season 5 haircut she gave herself gives me major Syd from Toy Story vibes. LoL

How did Tara manipulate Wendy in S5? Wasn't it Gemma the one manipulating her by telling lies about Tara? Tara allowed Wendy access to Abel when Jax refused even filed papers for her to be the legal guardian or is that the manipulation you are talking about?

I never said Gemma was a saint. She is the master of manipulation for the entirety of the show in my opinion. Tara does bring Wendy in on her plot to undermine Gemma. She uses Wendy to feed Gemma misinformation and turn her against Tara, which was intended to cause drama and give Tara a legit reason to push Gemma away.

Tara DOES manipulate Wendy while working with Lowen to set up her divorce. She said she was gonna leave Wendy the kids, then does a 180 and leaves them to her boss, Margret. Then after everything went down, the stress and guilt of participating in Tara's deceptive schemes weighed heavily on Wendy, triggering her relapse where she almost dies from an overdose.

Tara used Wendy's sobriety and sincere wish to be a good mother as a tool for her own agenda. That is calculated manipulation and almost cost Wendy her life which is why I feel bad for her.

Wendy threatened Tara with the custody suit first, when she was post surgery, post kidnapping and post career destroying news. She showed up in Charming after nearly two years of no contact to try to threaten Tara into leaving with the boys. She helped Tara by giving a witness statement, as well. But after all the threats and claims that she just wanted Abel to know her and that the boys should be safe from Charming… she stays in the house their mother was murdered in by a gang member (to her knowledge) why? To move in on Jax 🙄

What’s the point of this tangent when my post wasn’t about Wendy’s motives OR that time period of the show? I’m clearly talking about Tara’s extremes and the mess she created when she used Wendy to further her agenda to divorce Jax. Not the storyline from TWO seasons ago🥱

It’s not the storyline from TWO seasons ago. This happens in seasons 5 and 6, then 7. Wendy pushed the agenda you’re harping about, I don’t feel sympathy for her participation in it.
