Weeds: The Dark Time

by Erin Martell, posted Oct 30th 2007 8:21AM

Mary-Louise Parker and Elizabeth Perkins(S03E12) To paraphrase George Costanza, worlds collided in this week's Weeds. The growers and the dealers set up shop in ultra-religious Majestic, which could mean all sorts of trouble. Andy remembered that Dean existed, Nancy and Conrad picked up where they left off (romantically speaking), and Isabel was in the same room with Heylia. Isn't that a sign of The Apocalypse?

Celia's Majestic house is the new base of operations for Aguatecture, and the transition made for some strange conversations. For me, the most bizarre part of the move was seeing Isabel talk to Heylia and Vaneeta. I would never have predicted that Isabel would cross paths with them, and now I can totally see them getting along.

Weeds: The Two Mrs. Scottsons

Tonye Patano(S03E08) Only on Weeds will an episode begin with a funeral and end with a mammogram. I love how this show is able to balance tender, emotional elements with humorous and vulgar ones. The show's writers spread the wealth around this week, devoting time to underused characters like Heylia and Shane. Weeds has an incredible ensemble cast, and this episode served as another example of that fact.

At long last, Peter's death was neatly wrapped up. It turned out that Peter's dirty dealings went beyond blackmailing Nancy and Conrad. I really liked that, for once, all signs didn't point to Nancy. The DEA higher-ups knew that Peter was corrupt, and were more than willing to let his murder go unsolved. I liked the use of newspaper headlines as added details in this episode. After the funeral scene, there was a quick cut to Heylia reading the following headline: "So long honey." Later, there was a newspaper article that linked Peter to U-Turn. How convenient! Personally, I'm ready to say goodbye to Peter, and I'm glad the writers didn't keep his corpse hidden until the end of the season. It's time for Nancy to get down to business.
