Weeds-Suck and Spit-August 3rd, 2009

I can't express to people enough how awesome this show is! Thank goodness there is only violence once in a while. If you are not yet watching this, let me tell you, you are missing out! It is so weird and funny and always keeps you guessing. A little background; Nancy Botwin is a widowed mother of 2 boys. When her husband died he left her with no money. So she started selling pot to pay the bills. This show is a dramedy and one of the best shows Showtime has ever had.

Ok in this episode we start out with Nancy unable to sleep because she is on the couch in the living room where her ex-bro in law/ non-biological brand new baby daddy, Andy, has his loud pacman game, etc all over the place. So she heads upstairs to sleep in his bed, which used to be her bed, where it's quiet. They argue and she tells him if he wants to be a daddy, he's gonna have to get up with the baby. I LOVE their chemistry and I truly hope that when this show is all said and done, Nancy and Andy end up together raising the older boys and the Jewish half Mexican baby named Stevie. Stevie Ray that is. Later in the episode we see them at a restaurant having a drink and it's her first since getting pregnant. Her boobs begin hurting because she forgot to pump before going out. So she proceeds to go into the ladies room to pump and what do you know, the battery runs out. So she calls Andy from her cellphone and asks him to come to the restroom. She begs him to suck out the milk and we see her breast. He sucks AND swallows it instead of spitting it out! She's pissed!
In the meantime, Doug (former friend and former mayor) and Silas (Nancy's oldest son) are told by Dean (another former friends husband) that all their pot is gone. Silas punches him. But Celia Hodes, who his Dean's ex, has the pot and is disguising it in her 'I'm Pretty' makeup line and making a killing in profits. She moves out of Nancy's home and into her own condo. Doug is curious as to how she got rich so quickly. She tells him she been selling a butload of make-up. He proceeds to get some himself to hopefully make a quick profit. Little does he know that his isn't quite the same thing.
At the end Nancy and Andy are sleeping in the same bed but only sharing it, and in walks Esteban, her Mexican drug lord ex lover/ex fiance/biological baby daddy to the Jewish Mexican baby named Stevie. He tells her he loves her and wants to marry her. She's pissed! They go outside and argue. Andy pretends not to care but as we previously learned, he's in love with Nancy. He sneaks downstairs and tells Shane (Nancy's middle son) to go outside and listen although he really doesn't care (not)!. We see a man sneak up and shoot at them. He misses Nancy and Esteban. Cesar, the bodyguard of Esteban, shoots the shooter dead we can assume. The we hear Shane say, "Mom". He's been shot in the arm.

This episode was great just like all the rest. I love Andy Botwin and he has to be my favorite character on the show. He's sexy but stupid and totally lovable.

Next weeks shows Esteban and Nancy getting married but it looks like a dream sequence so we'll see.
