'Dancing With The Stars' Season 14 Dream Casting
What To Watch On TV This Week
Weeds: Yes I Can
(S04E07) Nancy hasn't completely left her old self behind, has she? After only a short time at Maternity World, she was ready to take on her old operation. Many of the pre-Ren Mar folks emerged from various parts of California. I was strangely excited to see the Botwins' old housekeeper, Lupita, along with Sanjay (now a father to Clinique's baby) and Marvin (10 pounds lighter). Have the good old days of pot dealing returned, or will Nancy have trouble working within someone else's organization?
Guillermo's face when he was delivering the pot worries me. I can't tell if he's upset because Nancy went over his head, or if her power play means that he's losing status within the organization. Either way, things don't look good. Guillermo could try to regain control of his employee, or he could lose status within Esteban's business. Nancy needs to find away to make this up to him. He got her out of hot water with the bikers last season and brought her into the "company." How much longer will he tolerate Nancy's disloyalty? Will he get back at her by messing with her salespeople? Nancy was a little too confident when she told Marvin not to worry about territory disputes with Guillermo.
Mark my words: Nancy's addiction to trouble will ruin her someday. It's clear that she's not in this business just for the money. She's making a significant, unnamed sum working in a low-risk job. Most people would be thrilled with this arrangement. Perhaps she's not satisfied being a mid-level employee in someone else's operation. She wants the high that comes with being in charge and the constant possibility of losing it all. Nancy looked relaxed and happy as she reassembled her team. I guess her breakthrough a few weeks back was short-lived.
I'm glad that Celia's criminal charges were finally dealt with, but that storyline fell flat. It seemed like they brought Till back merely for the surprise of seeing him in bed with the DEA agent. Is that really it for Till? Perhaps he isn't so determined to arrest Guillermo now that he's less lonely. A little romance can make a big difference on your mood; Nancy demonstrated that this week. She was extremely (and hilariously) cranky at the start of the episode, and I can't blame her. No one wants to watch a naked man cut her off on the way to the bathroom. I couldn't believe what I was seeing at first. All it took was a spanking from Esteban to put a smile on her face.
I am so disappointed in Shane. He kept the infamous bowler hat photos and "scratched his fleas" in bed after looking at them. Why? The mere thought of the inevitable discussion between mother and son is enough to make me cringe. I hope that, instead of Nancy, Andy discovers the photos and has a funnier heart-to-heart with his nephew. Sock Talk 2.0!
My favorite lines of the night:
- Nancy calling the guys "Delta pledges."
- "You're the mom-and-pop shop that got swallowed by the megacorp." --Guillermo's warning to Nancy
- Andy's spontaneous remodeling rant
Next week--Nancy has lunch with Esteban, Andy and Doug officially become coyotes, and Nancy dodges bullets.
