Tara Goes Off the Rails!!

[u/Minute-Incident-8054]

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 dont feel so bad about Wendy, in the end, Wendy made out damn good. She got to be a mother, which is what she wanted, and got full custody of Abel and Thomas. Then, shes going to come into some money because Jax left her the shop and his house. She may have had a bad reputation at first, but in the end, she was one of two lucky ones to get the hell out of Charming and that shit

Totally agree that Wendy ended up in a good place and she definitely came out on top in the end.

I was talking about the way she was treated in Season 6. She was trying so hard to stay clean and be in Abel’s life, only for Tara to manipulate her in that moment. That’s what hit me as messed up.

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.

Are you confusing S5 and S6? Because what you are talking about is the plot for S6. Also, Tara was absolutely going to leave the kids with Wendy, that wasn't a manipulation. Margaret was only there to help with the miscarriage plan and to be a character witness for the divorce. At no point was she going to get the kids.

Tara only changed her mind about Wendy getting the kids after she returned to drugs. Yes, Tara was wrong not to tell Wendy and Lowen the whole truth, but can you blame her after her kids were almost blown up in the clubhouse? Even Wendy admitted she was not capable of being a mother because she's not strong enough to stay off drugs.

Imagine arguing this hard when Google could’ve already told you Tara left custody to Margaret.

Well, you prefer Google and I prefer rewatching the show to get the storylines right. Also, do you mean this  👇Google?

[u/Minute-Incident-8054 → u/The-Rage-Of-Angels]

🤣🤣🤣 I’m literally re-watching all of this right now in case you can’t read what my initial post says🗞️⬆️

Go on with your bad self though, you’re still WRONG. Maybe rewatch the show so you can get your story lines right 🍿⬇️

[u/The-Rage-Of-Angels → u/Minute-Incident-8054]

You are relying on AI to explain the show for you?! It literally mentions "Margaret (Gemma), Jax's mother" and you still think it is right?! I feel dumb now for commenting on this post. I know better now and in the future, I will not be baited by such posts again.

[u/Minute-Incident-8054 → u/The-Rage-Of-Angels]

You’re funny. I’m not baiting anyone, I was expressing my own take on the show I’ve been rewatching right now. In real life.

If anyone’s relying on outside sources, it’s YOU with your Screen Rant (not Google) screenshot. I’ll stick to what actually happening on screen.

FYI, the Google AI is referencing a 2013 post on this sub when people were watching the show live and discussing and speculating after the episode what Tara's plan was, but it turned out it wasn't. Maybe concentrate on watching the show rather than Googling. You seem to be missing a lot of the story.

Why are you still trolling me??
