Weeds returned to old form with a strong episode plotted with dark humor throughout. The usual comedic greatness from Andy and Doug did not disappoint as they attempted to further up on the idea of their coyote business. The uproarious Nancy also had some gems with her apparent lack of respect for the marijuana industry and the people she works with.
The show was not without its flaws though, which are always glaring and bringing the program down. Shane continues to be a really annoying person and you'd think for an untalented child actor who reads straight from the script the writers could actually pen a funny line for him. Celia's storyline is boring, as is her personality.
The current story arc with Nancy Botwin and the mayor is also ridiculous. The show claimed to be moving to a more dramatic direction, but it's almost like a burlesque, a parody of how a serious drama would unfold. This was a great episode by Season 4 standards, but the show just seems like a guy at a party being bawdy. You won't remember him the next day, but it was fun to watch. Although I don't think many people will forget the image of Mary Louise Parker getting spanked anytime soon.moreless
