That pretty much sums up one of the funniest scenes on the show so far as Andy schools Shane on the art of masterbation. Just classic. I didnt expect Nancy's cover to get blown so early by the D.E.A. guy. I thought the writers would play that out over the course of the season and instead they take us there head on and I like that. It's a different approach to take and its another example why the show is so good.moreless

An extremley well written funny episode. This is an episode not to missed. Staring with Nancy realising she is way over her head when her 'business' is threatened by her personal relationship with Peter, whom is a DEA agent and knows she is a drug dealer.
The best lines come from Andy's well informed frank discussion with Shane about puberty issues.
Nancy has had tried to keep her family stable by enforcing the importance of the family dinners and this episode marks the slipping of it's importance as she is late for the family dinner. Nancy also realises as she is late for family dinner and where everyone answers that there day was fine, that they may be covering up something, as she also answers that her day was 'okay' and doesn't let on that she eloped and married Peter in a quick wedding.moreless

Peter is still in the picture and on Nancy's mind. Shane and Andy discuss the issue of puberty, masterbation and methods!!! Silas gets even more of a jerk in a bizarre way. Isabelle and Celia have words and so does Dean and Conrad.moreless

Nancy is still trying to come to terms with Peter and his unexpected bombshell, she gets hit with a problem with the house plumbing thanks to Shane and his arrival into puberty. Andy comes out with his best set of lines in this series, when he talks through the issue of masterbation with Shane, the methods and how not to be embarrassed regarding this issue, but also how to incorporate this harmlessly into his day to day life, as Andy believes that if he manages to perform solo to a high level, when it comes time for duets, he will be magnificent.

Well Silas did not do as i initially thought he might, which was to propose marriage to Megan following last weeks episode, but he stoops to an all time low by trying to get her pregnant by putting holes in the condom, it's usually the girls trick for entrapment, but I suppose it can work both ways. The writers must have had a field day on these two characters, they surely had the best story and lines upto this part of the series.

Conrad and Dean come face to face and the result is a lot of banter, good humoured banter is a must and is used to excellent use throughout Weeds. Isabelle and Celia storyline grows with maturity, they both work off each other very well, but thats the skill and talent fo the young actress who plays her.moreless

Nancy is moving on, businesswise and in her private life.

What a magnificent episode in which a lot, and I mean A LOT happens but for me it was defined by three scenes. One hilarious, one disturbing and one shocking.

The hilarious scene, of course, is the fabulous scene where Andy gives young, slighly-less-innocent Shane tips on masturbation That scene is an instant classic full of wit and colourful language. The lines were perfect and the delivery was masterful. The Andy character is a freeloader, but this was certainly so for his greatest moment, excellent acting.

The disturbing scene was Silas pricking holes in a condom. That is a truly despicable act quite apart from the health issues. When the aim clearly is to prevent your girlfriend from leaving town and going to PRINCETON by getting her pregnant it is unforgivable. To think I liked Silas.

The shocking scene was of course the marriage. I for one did not see that coming in episode 3 of this season!moreless

Trivia
ADD TRIVIA
- When Joseph comes over to visit Heylia, she hurriedly gives Nancy her stuff in an effort to quickly get rid of her. In alternating shots of Nancy, as she tries to make conversation with Joseph, we first see her purse looking neat and then we see a large bag of grass conspicuously sticking out of the top. It goes back and forth like that for several shots. Edit
- Goof: Peter says there are only 400 DEA agents in the entire country, and that Nancy is flying below his radar. In fact, the DEA has 5,500 agents, nearly 11,000 employees, and $2.5 billion budget. Edit
- During their family dinner Nancy takes a beer, sits and puts it on the table, you can see it's not opened. Then she pops a pill, the camera shows the uncle for a moment and next thing you see is Nancy drinking from her beer. Edit
