Nancy in an effort to start up her bakery gets Conrad to come down and he gives her some advice on how to set up her new business venture. Doug pays a visit looking for Nancy and finds Andy at home and it is quite hilarious that he instantly knows what porno is playing in the background. Celia meets Conrad and in a last ditch effort on the eve of having her breasts removed she decides to have sex with him. Nancy meanwhile meets a "businessman" while at the club and Lupita finds Nancy's home stash of hash and bribes her for more money to increase her status.moreless

I watched this episode with a cross between shock and amusement when little Shane was playing terrorist. Just where do these children get their ideas from, Shane is just trying to get attention and grieve for his father.

Nancy's feelings in this episode of being alone and missing her husband are played out better than in most television programmes hitting upon the loss physically as well as emotionally.

Celia in this episode was not very sensitive to Nancy, wrapped up in her own problems whilst Conrad continued to be a somewhat supporting influence.

I can't believe that the woman Andy met has not rumbled him and his lying ways yet, but maybe for now she's leading him on.

Silas seemed to learn his lesson from last week and admitted he was wrong which is a good thing.

Good episode.moreless

Initially appearing to be little more than Housewives clone, Weeds is going from strength to strength. Despite what you see at first glance, this isn't a clone. It's its own baby... and a damned beautiful one at that.moreless

This episode has it all. The humour, the character development, the sad moments, the plot. If Weeds wasn't already considered the best new show, it will be now.

Weeds isn't about monsters, murders and plane crashes. It doesn't need to be. Despite focusing heavily on being social commentry, Weeds manages to keep the viewer entertained.

While this may sound odd considering her occupation, Nancy is a sweet character and it shows. We're not spammed with her sweetness a la Housewives, we're just... shown it. In other words, she's a well written character.

If you're reading the reviews, debating if you should check out Weeds, seriously do it. You won't regret it. The writing and acting are all top notch.moreless

We venture in the questions that further explore the deeper issues regarding grief, how it affects each person differently. Then there is also just the issue of continuing regardless of what life throws at you.moreless

By captainbritain, Jun 09, 2008 Report Abuse

Nancy is missing her husband in the physical and the emotional side of things, so with the aid of the old home movie cam and her battery boyfriend she tries to get some closeness, but fails. Later there are a few satisfaction/battery related comments, that are purely innocent but make Nancy uncomfortable.

Nancy and Celia, together with Conrad go out to a club, where Nancy gets talking to an obviously well connected and important person, as they are in the VIP area and him and his posse entered through the back of the premises. On leaving, Nancy sees the car rocking and recognises that Celia and Conrad are busy. Which made me feel a bit disappointed as I thought that Conrad was just going to wait for the time when Nancy wanted him.

Shanes' grief has him doing weird things around the school, but also him making scarey terrorist type video, but his counsellor/ shrink believes that its just a reaction to grief.

Silas apologises to Megan, they make up and then they make out, then they decide to do a little weed, only to get busted by Uncle Andy, who does not do the responcible uncle thing, but his reaction does make for a more comical and better approach to the subject.moreless

Shane makes scary movies and Silas and his girlfriend make up (and out).

In this strange episode Celia and Conrad hook up. I thought this was an odd pairing as the previous episodes seemed to indicate that Conrad was quite interested in Nancy herself, so I'm not sure why he would go out with her friend.

I feel a bit sorry for Celia, she's obviously unhappy in her marraige and now she's losing her breats to cancer, I can see why she felt the need to act out one last time before the surgery.

Silas and his girlfriend make up and make out and she talks for the first time in the series. Andy catching smoking weed was fun and his reaction should've have come as a surprise yet it did. He is one irresponsible adult.moreless
