If you’ve been following the SOA ‘mythology’ over the years if should be pretty clear that Jax Teller’s fahter John, the then-President of SAMCRO died under ‘mysterious’ circumstances when Jax was about 12 years of age. The straight ahead story is that he was ‘run over by a semi,’ as Piney(William Lucking) explains to Tara (Maggie Siff) when queried for details about John Teller’s demise. Piney further offers to Tara that she needs to leave the past alone or risk not only her own safety but that of Jax and both their young sons as well, after Tara admits to reading John Teller’s writing about how he felt in mortal danger from then- SAMCRO VP Clay.
We’ve seen both Clay and Gemma trade knowing glances when this subject has come up before (including via Jax). If Gemma and Clay were involved in her then-husband John Teller’s death they’ve managed to keep it a secret for a very long time. However it is heavily implied that Piney and others know exactly how Teller died –and it was no accident–and certainly no ‘secret.’
Whether the full truth about John Teller’s death comes out this season is debatable IMO, as this story is mapped by creator Kurt Sutter to have a 7-season story arc. To have a reveal of this magnitude in Season 4 would destroy the club…and really, where to go from there? My guess is that we will get further tantalizing tidbits and meaningful looks–but not much of any substance until farther down the road.
