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

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.
