03E02 - Oiled

Due to Hale's death, killed by a drive-by shooter at Half Sack's wake, Unser is forced to temporarily postpone his retirement. When SAMCRO investigate the shooting, they get some unexpected news concerning the Calaveras, a small Mayan-affiliated MC in Lodi, led by Hector Salazar (Jose Pablo Cantillo). As a result, they turn for help to a friendly Lodi club, the Grim Bastards, led by Taddarius Orwell 'TO' Cross (Michael Beach). Tara makes a decision about her professional future, finding Margaret extending an unlikely hand of friendship. Jacob tries to secure Unser's support in his bid to become mayor. Gemma and Tig try to deal with Nate's Alzheimer's. In Northern Ireland, Cameron takes refuge with his cousin, Maureen Ashby (Paula Malcomson), and seeks council from her brother, Kellan (James Cosmo), a priest with close ties to the Real IRA. Worried that Jimmy thinks he's a rat, Cameron asks Kellan to help him make his case. Back in Charming, Jimmy meets with SAMCRO, and despite already knowing Cameron and Abel are in Northern Ireland, he assures Clay they must still be in the US.
