As the fifth season of Weeds continues to go on in Ren Mar, the Botwins continually lose morals which is what this episode is about. It is an examination of how little morals you can possibly have and still substain a successful life.
The episode opens with Nancy shooting deer as part of a game in a bar. She's still wearing an odd thing on her head from last episode and it still isn't working out for her. Andy comes up beside her and instructs her not to hit rabbits and yet, would it matter? Nancy has left a trail of humans behind her including a few husbands and a drug lord or two, so why should it matter if she hits a fake rabbit? Andy brings her home. Shortly after the family sits down, Esteban arrives with a new bodyguard for Nancy named Ignacio. He's funnier than the last two and tasers Andy on arrival because Andy has called him a thug. Here's a change. A Mexican other then Esteban who understands English. Of course, Shane, being a pubescent youth, doesn't react to this well and gets mad at Esteban for "sticking his penis in her vagina". I guess she never told them about when he raped her two days ago.
Shane sees his teacher smoking in the environmental garden. His teacher asks him for more 'product' and Shane promises he'll give him more. He goes home and puts a few 'sandwiches' from last season into a bag. Andy sees this and makes a remark on the depreciating morals of the Botwin family. He's one to talk. Plus, those sandwiches are probably already rotting. I think they've been in that refrigerator for a few weeks on that show. I really don't think you would want to smoke any weed that was in those. He comes back to school and gives it to his teacher, but the teacher drives away without paying him. Shane just stands there in awe.
Meanwhile, Silas and Doug investigate space for selling in their medical marijuana club. The go to an angry Asian lady who argues with them for awhile. She asks them what they're even planning to sell anyway and Silas says that he's going to be selling 'compassionate care'. She thinks that they're some kind of Jesus freaks. Silas has already gotten with Mary Kate Olsen in Season 3. Been there, done that. With the help of the corrupt police officer, they make a bargain with her and get the space.
While Nancy is at home, she receives a baby swing from Andy and has trouble putting it together. While she is trying desperately to put it together without the manual, Ignacio brings in Roy Till who has been watching Nancy from across the street. Ignacio has tasered him which has cause Roy to pee in his pants. Nancy tasers Ignacio which causes him to pee in his pants as well. Since Nancy is the best person at solving difficult situations, she handcuffs both of them to her bed. They explain to her that she has to make a choice for who lives and who dies. Someone rings the doorbell. Of course, it's Celia who wants to live with Nancy. Nancy says no and slams the door on her face.
While this crisis is going, Nancy takes a little break and goes for a stroll. She finds Andy working out in her garage. She calls him stupid politely. He looks inside a boxing glove and finds some information about Judah's 30 year old bank account. The teller at the bank explains that money is continuing to pile up in the account and that she'll let him have it on one condition--he goes on a date with her.
Esteban arrives to a stressed Nancy who is looking to a Magic Eight Ball for help. It probably makes better decisions than Nancy ever would anyway. To forget all the stress, he walks with her on the beach. I guess true love outweighs for Nancy.
