Tara Knowles

We know from my previous blogs that Tara is Jax's fiancee. But how exactly does she fit in to Samcro?

Tara and Jax dated in their high school years. Extremely close to Jax, Tara showed her support of Samcro by getting a Samcro related tattoo on her back. In the first few episodes of the show we learn that Tara
eventually left Jax to pursue her medical education in San Diego, later to do an internship in Chicago. This
hurt Jax as he loved Tara. Gemma did not like how Tara up and left Jax, so she ends up holding
a grudge towards Tara. Eventually Tara comes back to Charming as a surgeon. This is when she is
introduced in the show and we learn what really happened while she was gone.

During her time away from Charming, Tara ended up dating an ATF agent, eventually getting pregnant.
She is concerned by his obsessive and abusive behaviour, and has an abortion. She heads back to Charming to get away. Tara had filed a restraining order against the agent but he continued stalking her. One night he ends up in her house and attempts to rape her. Tara goes along with it in order to retrieve his gun, once she gets a hold of the gun she shoots him in the stomach and calls Jax for help. When Jax shows up he is so disgusted that he shoots the agent in the head and disposes of his body.

Throughout the rest of the show we see Tara trying to prove herself to all of Samcro, especially Gemma. Tara often becomes the emergency medical help when member of the club are injured during shoot outs. Gemma eventually see's that Jax and Tara are still in love, and are working towards a long term relationship.
Gemma sees this as a good thing and warms up to Tara by teaching her the ins and outs of being an 'Old-lady'.

Later we learn that Gemma and Tara have different ideas for Jax's future. Now that Tara has given birth to
Jax's second son and is engaged to Jax, Jax promises Tara he will leave the club soon, but Gemma has been
prepping Jax to take over the club as Clays health diminishes.

What does the future hold? Well, you'll have to watch season 5 to find out!
