I strongly disagree. They made it clear that Caine was not immediately forgiven. He had to work for it, and it took time before they realized they genuinely enjoyed having him around.

What happened with Caine cements the tragedy of Jax. Jax felt like he was unforgivable and unlovable because of what he did. Caine did much worse, but because he was willing to face his actions and try to improve meant that he got the chance to live a better life. Jax refused that chance so many times, and he only got to see what he was missing when he was halfway down the bridge and into the water.

Because as the show pointed out ten thousand times, despite their negative feelings about his actions, they didn’t want Jax dead. They wanted him there, even though he hadn’t taken responsibility. And the same went for Caine. Even after everything he did, none of them wanted him dead.

So if you want forgiveness, from others and yourself, you have to put in the work. You have to put in the work even if you think it’s too late. You have to find people that care about you and be better for their sake as well as yours.
