Later, Jax admits everything to Chibs, and says that he has to go and it's what's best for the club. Then Jax talks to Nero and tells him that he's giving Wendy the houses, garages, and everything else that he owns. He wants Wendy to sell everything, and use the money to take his kids out of Charming.
He tells Nero that he's leaving and that he killed Gemma. He says that Wendy and his boys need to know the truth about him. Then he rides off on his father's motorbike.
Jax requests a meeting with the D.A. He asks her to record his confession, and he says, "It wasn't the Chinese that killed my wife … It wasn't anyone outside the club. It was my mother, Gemma Teller, who killed Tara in a fit of rage, and then Juice killed Eli to protect Gemma."
Later, the club meets to vote, and through tears, they all vote on Jax meeting Mr. Mayhem.
Jax continues to tie all his loose ends. He kills Barosky, then he meets a homeless woman who helps him to disguise himself so he can kill August Marks.
Returning to the club, he removes his President patch and gives it to Chibs. Chibs gives his VP patch to Tig. When it was time for Chibs to pull the trigger, he shoots Happy in the arm to make it looks as though Jax got away. Jax hugs each member and says goodbye, and rides out to the rock where JT died.
He apologizes to his father and tells him he loves him. He rides away and is followed by the police who want to arrest him, but he doesn't stop. Jax looks up and sees a tractor trailer. As the tractor is about to hit him, he revs the engine, lets go of the handles, spreads his arms wide and smiles.
The final shot is of two blackbirds, eating bread and wine on the ground, while a pool of blood seeps into the frame.
