Here's how Jax made his exit on Sons Of Anarchy's final episode. Following a stint writing for The Shield, Kurt Sutter went on to create biker series Sons Of Anarchy for FX. This gritty show followed the motorcycle club SAMCRO, which was run by Ron Perlman's Clay. Jax Teller's (Charlie Hunnam) late father used to run the club and is drawn into conflict with Clay over his leadership - which is made all the more complex since Clay is married to Jax's mother Gemma (Kathy Sagal, Married With Children).

Sons Of Anarchy is a dark, violent show that also featured fantastic characters and writing. The concept of the series was inspired by Shakespeare's Hamlet and the show certainly carried themes of tragedy throughout, which the eye-wateringly high bodycount can attest to. Sons Of Anarchy came to an end with season 7 in 2014, though Kurt Sutter would later return to the world of the show with spinoff Mayans MC. In late 2019 it was confirmed Sutter had been fired from the series following production on season 2, with his behavior cited as the main reason.

The final season of Sons Of Anarchy was a particularly bleak ride for Jax and SAMCRO, with a whole load of major characters dying horrible deaths. The final episode of season 7 is called "Papa's Goods," and ends the only way it could have for Jax. This episode saw Jax set up ex-wife Wendy and his two sons financially and visiting the graves of both Tara and Opie. He also pays a visit to the D.A. to explain Gemma's role in killing Tara, shoots drug kingpin August Marks in revenge for the death of Bobby and - after quite a bit of drama - said his goodbyes to SAMCRO, with Chibs becoming the new club President.

The final scenes of Sons Of Anarchy saw Jax visit the same highway where his father died. After making peace with his past, an officer drives up and orders him off the bike. Jax then takes off, leading to him being chased by more and more cops. Of course, this is what he wants and when a truck appears coming down the highway, he closes his eyes and rides right into its path. The impact isn't seen, with the camera lingering on a piece of bread on the road as Jax's blood starts pouring into frame.

It was a more than suitable ending for Jax and a final touch of irony is added by the fact the driver of the "Papa's Goods" truck is Milo (Michael Chiklis), who encountered Gemma is the previous episode. Chiklis also gets to utter the fitting final word of Sons Of Anarchy.
