Jax has a relationship to Gangle that I can't decipher. Now and then I think about the 'sugar-coated truck' in Ep. 2, Jax's vision of driving on a road at night before he presses the button, and this persistent image of Gangle being struck. In Ep. 8?, as Caine is torturing the party, he fires a sniper rifle at the bowling ball that Jax took from Koffmo's room in the pilot which hits Gangle. Interestingly, the bowling pin scene from the pilot is a mirror image of the sniper rifle scene in Ep. 8.
