The Morning After "Weeds"

"Yes I Can"

Oh man, there were just soooo many things that were sooooo wroooong with this episode - I loved it!!!


When Nancy is denied a share of the incoming pot by Guillermo, she decides to go over his head to Esteban. She ends up with a spanking - literally - but also 300 pounds of weed. It may have been worth it, but the look on Guillermo's face during the last scene - he scared me! I don't know what Esteban did to him, but it wasn't good.

Celia discovers the cheap medication at Mexican pharmacies, plus she is off the hook with Captain Till. In a strange twist of fate, after trying so hard to get Celia in bed, Capt. Till is shown in bed with a man! Didn't see that one coming. And Isabelle is starting to doubt her decision to move in with her mother.


Silas and Lisa get intimate, I mean, underage down and dirty. Did they pay Hunter Parrish to buff up for this season or what?!!! OMG!!! Talk about jailbait ...

Shane and Isabelle discover some shocking photos - the nude ones of Nancy! Isabelle sees Nancy in a whole new light, while Shane "scratches his fleas" to his mom's photos!

Andy and Doug begin interviewing for their human smuggling operation, bringing their market research home for lunch. The very opening scene of tonight's episode had a naked Andy running to the bathroom! Two nude Botwins in one episode - be still my heart!

We also got to see our first glimpes of Sanjay and Clinque's baby - and he's a whopper. Lupita returns for the first time since Nancy fired her early in Season 3. And Marvin's back after having lost a staggering 10 pounds. Still no sign of Conrad or Heylia but they are listed as "guest stars" for Season 4. And who other but the Six Million Dollar Man - or the Fall Guy, depending on which generation you are - Lee Majors had a tiny guest part in this episode as a border patroller.

How did they cram so much into a 25 minute episode? I don't know, but if the previews of next week's episode are any indication, things are only going to get hotter!

2 thumbs up - way, way up!

I haven't seen this show, but it does sound exciting, to say the least. My husband will probably bring home the whole season from work eventually - he works at Blockbuster. That's how I end up seeing most TV. In DVD box sets.

By the way - with 'Robin Hood' - don't spill the beans over at my blog next week...because I've only just introduced some of my friends to the series, and they're beginning with season 1. But I'll be racing over to your blog to see what you think.
