The Morning After "Weeds"

Season 4 Finale


"If You Work for a Living, Why Do You Kill Yourself Working?"





Roy Till and the DEA bring Nancy in for questioning. At first Till goes easy on her, but when he finds out his partner has been killed, he begins to threaten Nancy.

Later, after being released by the police, Nancy must explain things to Esteban. Although it is Silas' 18th birthday, Nancy agrees to go meet with Esteban. But first she must have a bath.

It's the bathtub scene that almost made me lose it. Nancy almost has a total breakdown, spilling her deep dark secrets to Andy - while she's naked in the tub. Later, I think Andy comes to the realization that he is in love with Nancy.

Celia travels deep into Mexico to make amends with estranged daughter Quinn. Then we learn why Celia and Quinn could never get along - they're both bitches! Quinn drugs her mother and then plans to sell her back to Dean.

Meanwhile, Silas meets Lisa's ex-husband and when the ex starts taking pictures of a naked Silas, Lisa finally breaks off their relationship. This was one coupling I was glad to see end. Lisa was entirely too old to be with Silas!

Because Lisa and Silas' business arrangement has come to an end, Silas brings the remaining "head cheese sandwiches" back to the house and stores them in the refrigerator. Unfortunately, Shane finds the sandwiches and he and his two girlfriends start selling to friends. I didn't like the direction that Shane's character took this season. Shane was the only sane person in the whole family, but now he's headed down the same self-destructive path.

After Andy accuses Doug of still being in love with his wife, Doug finds a new reason to live. I seriously thought Doug was going to kill himself - I should have known he had something else in mind.

In the very last scene of the season, I was afraid Nancy would get her face "sanded" off, but instead, she makes a shocking revelation to Esteban.

I'm already jonesing for the next season of Weeds, but I know it will be a year down the road. Now what am I supposed to do on Monday nights? Oh yeah, Terminator is back, and Heroes returns next week.

And Sundays have Dexter back in two weeks, along with Californication. Plus there's always Bones on Wednesday nights. Maybe I'll manage ...
