Weeds 6x05

What is Karma Boomerang? That’s when shit hits the fan for all the bad things you’ve done before. Nancy and Andy were walking out of the alternative medicine supplier’s house when two cops stop them. Their minivan is registered to a license plate with $6,000 worth of parking violations. They lie that the car isn’t theirs – and eventually get away with it. But now they don’t have a car – plus, what’s worse, Andy had unthinkingly registered the car under Shane’s name. The Botwins need to pack up and leave again. “Goodbye Seattle,” Nancy sighs, “It never even rained. What a rip-off.” Meanwhile Doug is literally digging his own grave pleading to god for a miracle – one of those hilarious and deeply troubling moments. “This sucks so much,” Doug cries. Then Andy’s cell phone rings (to inform Mr. Botwin that his car’s is experiencing loss of tire pressure), “remind me where I lost my car,” Cesar replies. The comedic scenes that ensue are too good to summarize without ruining the fun: Nancy has to plea Andy to stay with them, even though she has nothing to offer him; Silas has to leave college and steal his date’s car; Shane’s mommy group inform the authorities to check on little Stevie’s living conditions; Nancy’s co-worker Latrice steals all her drug money; Cesar and Ignacio duct-tape Doug in their car; and that doesn’t even cover half of it. So, what is going to happen next? Will Nancy keep running from Esteban or will she confront him? How long will she be able to keep bringing Andy and Silas in tow? Terrific show!
