At first, the footage seems innocent enough. It’s a shot of Charlie Hunnam riding his bike down the highway. We’d point out that he looks pretty angry, but he always looks that way as Jax.

Fans have from now until September to try and figure out what it means.
Is it death coming for SAMCRO, or is it that Hunnam has become death after his devastating loss at the close of Season 6. Perhaps no one will survive this final ride.
