Sons of Anarchy: 6 Ways the Biker Drama Could End

Sons of Anarchy has officially kicked off its seventh and final season, and Jax (Charlie Hunnam) and the rest of the club are plotting and scheming to take down the Chinese as revenge for Tara's (Maggie Siff) murder, not realizing that Gemma (Katey Sagal) is actually the one who's responsible for putting everyone off BBQ for life. And with Jax's saga hurtling toward its last chapter, we've been doing a bit of brainstorming and theorizing with regard to how the violent biker drama might end. Since there's literally zero chance of Jax not discovering the truth about Gemma, and since Juice (Theo Rossi) murdered Sheriff Eli Roosevelt (Rockmond Dunbar) to cover up her involvement in Tara's murder, we feel pretty confident in assuming that the series will end with an epic bloodbath. But how, exactly, will that come about? And what will series creator Kurt Sutter and SOA ruin for us in the process? Probably a lot, so let's get to discussing the possibilities...

Option 1: Everyone goes out in a blaze of glory

This could actually be the best outcome for everyone, except for maybe Bobby. As the most level-headed member of SAMCRO, he's often the voice of reason and probably doesn't deserve to die—but would you really put it past Sutter to just kill EVERYONE? So what if he said that only two club members will die in Season 7? We're not buying it. The world in which SAMCRO operates is poisonous to everyone, and sometimes the only cure is to set fire to it all, so don't be surprised if everyone connected to the club perishes in a giant fireball at the official opening of the new porn studio as punishment for the club's many sins.

Option 2: J.T. returns to Charming to find everyone dead

The series began with Jax discovering his father's manuscript, The Life and Death of Sam Crow: How the Sons of Anarchy Lost Their Way, which is what initially inspired him to get the club out of the gun-running business and restore his father's original vision of a brotherhood. So it's plausible that J.T.'s ghost will return, for symmetry's sake. But what if he's not a ghost? What if J.T. didn't die in that motorcycle accident, but is actually alive and well? What if he's spent the last few decades chilling in San Diego, smoking a lot of pot, learning to surf, and becoming one with the universe? It's not too difficult to imagine a finale where J.T. shows up out of nowhere to preach the good ways of peace, only to discover that everyone is dead. Then he takes over the ice cream shop and Juice's weed shop, raises Abel and Thomas, and becomes an upstanding model citizen giving SOA the feel-good ending it needs.

Option 3: Gemma, Juice, and Tig pay for their sins

Look, there's no way Gemma is going to make it out alive. She's rotten to the core and she ruins everything she touches, like a cancer that can't be stopped from spreading. Of all the awful stuff that's ever happened to Jax, most of it can be traced back to his overbearing, meddling mother—and there's no way she can escape that. Instead of allowing her a quick and violent death, we're betting that Jax will make sure Gemma suffers; maybe a slow-acting poison is in order?

As for Juice, he's done some horrible things to cover up his own mistakes, as well as the mistakes of others. He's done Jax's dirty work as penance for his own transgressions, but now he's gone too far in helping cover up Tara's murder. It'll be a sad ending for his character, but death might finally give him the release he obviously needs. He'll go out with a single shot to the head that he never sees coming, and we'll shed a single tear (J/K we'll weep like a baby, Juice is one of our faves).

And Tig, well, he's done a lot of effed-up stuff over the years, and if Sutter's telling the truth about "only two club members dying," he's definitely in danger just based on karma. His death has to come at the hands of one of SAMCRO's enemies, right?

Option 4: Everyone dies except Juice

The dude is a cockroach. Wouldn't it be amazing to see him outlive everyone and eventually go on to star in Sons of Anarchy 2: Juicier, in which he becomes Charming's reluctant sheriff? Naturally, he'll then have to face off against a rebuilt SAMCRO, with Abel and Thomas presiding as prez and vice prez.

Option 5: Sons of Anarchy turns out to be a prequel to Wild Hogs: The Series

As Jax and the rest of SAMCRO prepare for the ultimate final battle against the Mayans, a dentist named Doug (Tim Allen) sees the gang ride by and is inspired to live life to the fullest. He gathers his friends Woody (John Travolta), Bobby (Martin Lawrence), and Dudley (William H. Macy), and they embark on a life-changing and eye-opening motorcycle ride around the Southwest. FX orders Wild Hogs: The Series as a 10/90 multi-camera sitcom, and it becomes the most successful show in the network's history.

Option 6: MONTAGE!

Sons of Anarchy says goodbye with a two-and-a-half-hour montage that's set to the tune of some dusty biker ballad written by one of Sutter's pals. As the song plays, the camera shows us what everyone's up to now: working at the new Men of Mayhem Music Mausoleum, Northern California's premiere destination for up-and-coming gritty Country & Western acts.

How do you think Sons of Anarchy will end? How do you WANT it to end?
