It’s amazing just how evil Holly is, worming her way into the family simply to get money. This is how the situation appears as since the possibility of Ryan coming into the fore has emerged she is evidently covering her (financial) ass…
Kevin aiming to become partner at the firm continued in this episode with him facing a dilemma of being asked to leave Scotty at home as his boss didn’t know whether or not the client was gay-friendly or not. His boss dangled the partner prospect in front of Kevin’s nose putting him in a very difficult place. He ended up getting advice off Robert who said the “end justifies the means”. Is it right to say it’s fine to do what you need to do to make partner as once you are at the top you can make sure no other employee will have to do immoral things to reach the top again? I don’t think so and that kind of judgement from a politician is worrying…
Sol makes a decision which significantly effects Sarah. An argument ensues which for me Sarah has the right to be angry as if he had left another day he would have been able to help Sarah through the touch meeting which was becoming a mini showdown against Holly although perhaps he agreed with Holly’s arguments. I think this will propel Sarah to make her own momentous decision and I look forward to seeing where this takes her…
Justin is going through a tough time opening up to Rebecca about Iraq. He lapsed and had a drink but saw his sponsor who clearly persuaded him to tell Rebecca the bigger issue. They seem like a really good couple and as time goes by, I am getting less disgusted at them being together as there clearly is chemistry between the actors as well as the characters…
All in all, another cracker of an episode although still with an alarming amount of wine drinking!

BS 0302 Book Burning
As usual things with this show don’t get going until the family get together and in this episode Kitty has read a book and the whole family end up sharing snippets from the book, faxing it to one another and getting increasingly pissed that Kitty has written about them with easy-to-crack pseudonyms. An argument ensues at Kitty’s dinner party when there can’t be such an argument as it is for the social worker who is responsible for their adoption. It isn’t until after they have read it that they realise the book is really good. That was the mock-drama going on whilst the real drama was behind the scenes…
Holly entrusts Rebecca with full access to her two million dollar trust which makes Rebecca question her mother’s motives – Rebecca is oblivious to William’s other child, Ryan and I suspect she is doing this to cover her back and to ensure her daughter gets the money – something which is understandable as a mother. I cannot however believe that she is going behind everyone’s back and is trying to gain information on Ryan!! Bitch!

WD 0413 If You Work For a Living, Then Why Do You Kill Yourself Working? [Finale]
The DEA brings Nancy in for questioning which gets complicated by the chief investigator’s boyfriend being killed by Esteban’s men horrifically – he has no face. EUGH!
Then Nancy must explain things to Esteban and a lovely scene where you see so much of Nancy’s character as she is driving to what she thinks will be her death is on the phone ordering her son a gift basket. It’s so sad.
We make it to the finale and they have photos – photos of her meeting the DEA but Nancy has a photo to trump that – WOAH!

WD 0412 Till We Meet Again
Nancy can’t take it anymore so ends up speaking to the DEA and persuading them to bust the tunnel. Nancy plays it cool with Esteban and keeps a low radar so as not to get caught.
Celia sets out to find her elder daughter Quinn who I had forgotten even existed.
Things spiral downwards for Silas as Lisa’s ex husband comes into play… Shane starts drug dealing.
But at least Nancy has it all under control – until – wait – no – the ending is horrific. If you are a nervous disposition get the remote handy to pause the show – looks like things will finally catch up with Nancy… I have no idea how she will get out of this one…

WD 0411 Head Cheese
Nancy must deal with the aftermath of Shane’s (s)exploits, her out of body trip and more confrontation with Guillermo who is getting more and more anti-Nancy.
Celia moves from an expensive, good, luxurious rehab facility to a new, cheap, run down one. The statement about attitude is a classic Weeds moment.
Doug and Maria struggle with their relationship (as I thought they would) and they both turn to Andy for help.
Things are moving more and more quickly now and the usual build up of uneasy feelings is well underway.

WD 0410 The Love Circle Overlap
Nancy discovers the tunnel is being used for more than drugs – a fact which she is very uneasy about however Esteban allays her fears. Celia’s family stages an intervention after Isabel finds her with a needle sticking out of her forehead which was a horribly funny scene – the kind where you feel bad for laughing…
Andy locates Doug’s love, Maria and brings her across the border.
At home, Silas baby-sits whilst Shane loses his V with his two new girlfriends.
Things are falling apart, whilst Nancy is having an out of body experience with Esteban to cure him of headaches. Even though her character is likable, she has always been justifiable however now she really isn’t – she is a despicable mother.

WD 0409 Little Boats
Nancy and Esteban struggle to fit each other into their busy schedules with both of them having lots going on. Following Nancy’s absence from family life for the past few episodes things are running amok on the home front and there are a lot of issues to which she needs to attend… First, she isn’t happy with Silas’ new girlfriend as she doesn’t feel like this will end happily. Silas defiantly continues the business and starts selling the sandwiches from the cheese shop. Shane however has to have an awkward talk with Nancy about his new fantasies…
Andy and Doug continue to search for Doug’s love in Mexico where they are confronted by El Coyote, the bastardo of a coyote from earlier this season. I can’t help thinking what will happen if Doug finds his girl – they really cannot be a match – I mean who can be a match for Doug??
Really good as Nancy realises she is losing control of the whole family and she isn’t in control of where she is at. I get the impression she is worried… She should be.
