Weeds 6x08

Weeds, Gentle Puppies, on Showtime
Weeds is too hilarious for words! If I would try to describe the opening scene of this episode even a full transcript of the dialog would fail to capture all the incredible details: the Winnebago, the dildos, the Jewish gay porn, the speeding ticket narrowly evaded by referencing the good lord, and gentle puppies – and that doesn’t even include Shane’s chutzpah suggesting he and Nancy take off with little Stevie in Ignacio’s car without Andy, Silas and Doug. But they’re off the grid – so much so, Andy takes them to some “deep outlaw” scab city called Pioneer Town that used to be a western movie set. Once again, the comedic entertainment is beyond description: Doug and Shane steal water from Grandma Sugar Pops, Silas and Andy buy a washer to produce more hash, Nancy gets laid by saloon owner Jack, Andy does his best Evangelical performing a baptism with Doug as his assistant, they make wads of cash, but have to run off when it transpires that Jack’s married ... with children. So, on the move they go, on the road again. Doug doesn’t have many lines, but he doesn’t need them to be funny, just the looks on his face makes you laugh out loud. It was nice to see Dean again, another hilariously sweaty scene, but it means the FBI is still investigating Pilar’s death. How long can they keep this up? When will the FBI catch up with them? Or will Esteban get to them first?
