I was suprised by how good this episode actually was. This season got off to a rocky start, but it really has evened out and is starting to return to its old witty dialogue. It seems that Weeds has found its legs in a new location.
The episode opens with Nancy sitting in a waiting room. She is sitting with Andy conversing. While she is doing this, a woman eating an extremely unhealthy snack. This disgusts her and she confronts the woman about how it may unhealthy for the baby. If she said that to someone in New York, they'd probably punch her in the face. I guess it's a good thing she lives in SoCal. The woman gives her a "does-it-look-like-I-care" look, says something witty, and continues eating. Nancy goes into the OB-GYN's examination room. The OB-GYN walks in and it's...Alanis Morisette! She's actually quite a good actress. I really don't care for her music, but I have to admit, her "My Humps" video on YouTube is hilarious! If you haven't seen it, search it up. She sings it as if it's a ballad. It's pure musical genius. Morisette examines Nancy and says everything is fine. Nancy asks her if she can still abort the baby. Morisette says there's still time. Nancy asks what she can do in the mean time. She tells her to just relax a little and buy some coriander. Ah, the theme of plants in this show.
Shane is throwing things at plates in the backyard and listening to screamo metal. Isabelle stands there watching and pretends that she still has a part on this show. Oh well, at least she got a few lines this episode. Ignacio comes over and shoots one of the plates. He goes over to the iPod and turns it off. Shane explains that he's mad because his teacher stole his weed and Isabelle is just there because she likes watching. What a bitch. Ignacio tells them he has other plans.
Nancy and Andy are walking to her house with all the coriander and other plants that she has bought. Andy tries to convince Nancy that the plants won't help and that she should get an abortion. Nancy pretends not to listen. She goes into the garage and hears someone walking around. She says that she has a gun (she doesn't). Knowing Nancy's stupidity, she would probably shoot herself in the foot by accident if she actually had a gun. Celia crawls out and says "It's me and I know you don't even have a gun". They get into yet another bitch fight over her staying in her house. Finally, Nancy comes to an agreement and lets her stay for two days, but two days only!
Ignacio, Isabelle, and Shane burst into Shane's teacher's apartment. It's not too shabby either. Shane threatens him with a gun while Ignacio takes the weed. Then Ignacio holds him at gunpoint. He tells Shane to take other things as a trophy as well. Shane takes a theremin, a Zune, and rollerblades as well. As they are leaving, Ignacio tells Shane to shoot his teacher in the leg, but Shane shoots his bird instead. Ignacio bursts out crying and says "No! Not the birdy!".
The next day, Celia brings home groceries for herself. The refrigerator in the garage is too small for her, so she opens a box that is refrigerated. Inside the box is Sucio. Celia is terrified and runs around shouting "DEAD MEXICAN!!!!". She goes upstairs and wakes up Nancy. Nancy leaves a message for Esteban telling him to retrieve the body.
Andy/Judah goes on a date with Margaret. The two share a meat fondue. She makes him quote all sorts of books he's never read (because that's what Judah did when they went on their date). She then says to him "I want you to take my virginity". Andy spits out his food. They go to a beach. She goes "Isn't this just beautiful?". The camera pans around and there's a bunch of hoboes lying around. They start kissing (of course, unwillingly from Andy). Eventually it gets to the point where Andy goes "You know what? I don't think this is the way Judah did it?". She goes "Oh, you're right" and bends over. Andy tells her he's not going to have sex with her, but he remembers he wants the money. He has sex with her in front a bunch of hoboes who are taking shits and jerking off.
The least interesting storyline award goes to Silas and Doug. The odd couple plus one corrupt police officer realizes that they don't have enough pot to support this operation. The police officer tells them to go to a dealer named The Wizard, an old friend of his. Silas and Doug go to him, but while they are trying to make a deal, Doug badmouths him and the deal is off. Silas and Doug get into a fight and then make up with each other. See? Wasn't that a pointless paragraph.
Nancy finds out that Shane robbed his teacher. She talks to Ignacio about it and he says sorry, but laughs it off later. She makes Shane return everything he stole and apologize. He does, but his teacher still is mad and tells him that he will get an F for the year. Nancy gets all mad and knocks him around a bit verbally. Shane says "Cool", but then Nancy tells him he's grounded.
The two men take care of Sucio's body by dumping it in acid while Celia watches. Celia tells her that she's staying for as long as she needs to because she took pictures of the incident. Oops.
Andy returns home and sits with Nancy on a bench. Nancy asks why an armageddon always has to fall into her lap. Andy tells her that it's all her fault. The more concise answer would have been that she is a slut who has two dead husbands, is pregnant with the mayor of Tijauna, and is a drug dealing morther with no values. That's why. They talk about moving away and agree to. They return to their rooms to pack. Nancy writes something down which is later revealed to be a letter to Andy.
In the letter, she tells Andy that she has moved to Esteban's mansion in California with Shane. Andy is pissed. Excuse me, but she left her other son behind. What was she thinking!? Bad mommy!
