<P> At the beginning of season 7 we see Jax trying to cope with Tara's death . He is shown to be held in Stockton prison on parole violation for the gun he had when he was arrested, as well as for being a suspect for Tara and Eli's deaths . He uses the time in Stockton to viciously beat a rat for the Aryan Brotherhood leader Tully, in order to forge a partnership with them . He is later visited by District Attorney Patterson, who attempts to dissuade him from thoughts of revenge before letting him go, as the police couldn't link him to either murder, and his gun from the scene of the crime was determined to not have been fired . </P> <P> Gemma tells Jax she saw two Chinese men leaving Tara's house the night Tara and Eli were murdered and pins the murder on one of Lin's thugs at a party Jax had organized for the Irish and Chinese . Jax then kidnaps the man, brings him to an empty house, and tells him he will suffer for Tara's death . He then tortures the man with various instruments, including a hammer and by salting his wounds, before killing him by driving a carving fork in his head . </P> <P> In the next episode "Toil and Till", SAMCRO meets with the Indian Hills charter as well as two hired guns brought in as muscle . Jax outlines to Jury his plan to destroy Lin and Lin's club: cut off all sources of Chinese income, isolate and make him desperate, and then end him, slowly and painfully . Jax's team then hijacks a Chinese gun shipment and steals the guns . Later that night, Jax, Bobby, and Chibs drop by the apartment of the locals who helped them hijack the shipment . After ensuring they're alone, the Sons shoot the two men, then stage the scene, planting a kilo of Lin's heroin and making it look like they shot each other . Bobby later calls to report to Lin that they found the guys responsible . </P> <P> In the episode "Playing with Monsters" Jax is visited by August Marks, who had previously warned Jax against retaliating against the Chinese, as it would hurt business . He questions whether or not SAMCRO was involved with the hijacking, which Jax denies . August warns Jax not to cross him, or he will crush Jax's club . To get around this, Jax decides to help the Niners become independent of Marks so they can remove him as an obstacle . SAMCRO gives the Niners a portion of the stolen heroin and kill a gang member who was recruiting competition, in order to get them the Niners on their side . In "Poor Little Lambs" Jax meets with Tully to help the Niners move the heroin, but Tully claims Jax will need to talk to his lieutenant Leland about working with blacks . This goes poorly, as they are followed by two sheriffs who the AB opens fire on, killing one sheriff and leaving another critically injured . Later in the episode, SAMCRO experiences Chinese retaliation when a grenade is thrown outside of the Sons' ice cream shop, and several armed Chinese men enter Diosa and kill the escorts and guests who were present . The Sons also learn that the warehouse where they were stashing the Chinese guns was robbed of the guns and West, the club member guarding it, was killed . </P>
