Jax tries get full custody of Josslyn which causes problems in Sonny and Brenda's marriage. In June 2011, Jax tells Brenda that he is going to subpoena her to testify to Judge about how bad Sonny's life is. Brenda refuses to do so. In early July Brenda and Alec are shot at while getting in a car. Brenda is visibly shaken, but Sonny dismisses the incident and claims the shooters were not aiming for her or Alec, but simply wanted to warn Sonny that his family is in danger. Sonny tells Brenda not to mention the incident to the judge. On July 15, 2011 Brenda tells the judge about the incident whilst also saying that Sonny is a good father. Brenda later learns that Jax has been arrested for attacking the court mediator, Grace Yand and having drugs in his suite.
