Weeds 6x07

Weeds, Pinwheels and Whirligigs, on Showtime
After leaving Esteban an emotional voice mail message, Nancy drives off with her family. She gives the reigns to Andy, the guru of off-the-grid, Randy Newman, you can keep the hat on, Sly and the Family Stone. But once they hit Montana, Nancy wants to spend the day at a fair, guilty as she feels about the never-ending shit she drags her children into, a trip to the carnival, pinwheels and whirligigs. Apparently, Nancy’s deceased husband Judah was a roller-coasters designer. They spot a Winnebago, the grand price in a butter sculpture competition. Obviously, Andy and Silas sign up, only to find out that the contest is to eat the sculpture! And even after Silas wins, they can’t take their new home on wheels on the road, because they are required to fill out tax forms and take pictures. Nancy leaves baby Stevie with Doug, certainly a poor choice for a babysitter, but he sure enjoys the carnival fun. Meanwhile, Shane bonds with his mother, practically bleeding for approval, for affection, for attention. For her part, Nancy is worried sick Shane will turn into a psychopath. After all the light-hearted recreation, they return to the road. Will someone find Cesar’s wallet, Nancy left in a trash bin? Will the FBI get to them before Esteban’s goons?
