He went on to say these two, along with other writers, perfectly do their jobs by planting pins, like the Sons of Anarchy cameos. Everything is a pleasant surprise from the way they had invited Ornstein to reprise his role as Chucky.

Vento even teased fans would continue to see more easter eggs in the new season, as it will address EZ's heartbreaking connection to Happy. Mayans M.C. Season 2 Episode 1, "Xbalanque," is set to be out on Tuesday, Sept. 3, on FX.
