      Chucky Marstein: [When Gemma checks the fundraiser chili recipe] I may have gotten in over my head.

    • Alternate versions
      The Blu-ray/DVD contains a 'Creator's Cut' version of this episode, which features four minutes of additional footage:
      • Before Jax (Charlie Hunnam) and Opie (Ryan Hurst) discuss the upcoming presidential vote, Chuck (Michael Ornstein) carries a pot into the clubhouse. Jax explains he is making chili for Gemma's fundraiser, and Opie says that Chuck creeps him out.
      • After Torres (Benito Martinez) says he is going to use Sodium Pentothal on the Lobo solider (Daniel Moncada), Gemma (Katey Sagal) and Tig (Kim Coates) are in her kitchen. Tig asks what happened to her previous parrot, which she says died of a heart attack. He asks the name of the new one, and she says it is Clay. When he expresses surprise, she smiles and says "Long story." She asks him his opinion about the Galindo situation and he says he believes Clay will sort it out. When she asks him if Clay can handle it, he says as far as he can tell, but he doesn't know for certain as Clay doesn't trust him with anything important anymore. Gemma jokes that that's why he's been assigned to watch her, before quickly assuring him that Clay still loves him and wouldn't trust her safety to anyone else.
      • After SAMCRO discuss the situation with Gallindo, Jacob Hale (Jeff Kober) is in Roosevelt's (Rockmond Dunbar) office. He says he wants the fundraiser canceled, but Roosevelt assures him there is no need. Jacob says he knows what happens when SAMCRO's business spills into the town, as it got his brother killed. Roosevelt points out that Jacob has been beating that drum since it happened, and Jacob says he is out of line. Roosevelt then accuses Jacob of being more interested in his property development than the town itself, and Jacob says he is going over Roosevelt's head to get the event canceled.
      • During the fundraiser, before Roosevelt asks Rita (Merle Dandridge) how things are going, Rita approaches Tara (Maggie Siff), Tig, Chuck and Gemma, introducing herself to Tara. She thanks her for being a member of the committee. Upon seeing Clay arrive, Gemma excuses herself, and when Rita leaves, Tig asks Tara if she knew she was on the committee, and she says she had no idea.
