Weeds 6x12

This season the twists and turns on Weeds, as Nancy and family meander on and off the road, have been hilariously entertaining. Now the season is drawing to a close already. Last week we were left to wonder why on earth Nancy would tell her side of the story to this nebbish journalist guy Vaughn. When we pick up the story, we find Nancy murmuring about swing parties until he breaks her off and gets to the point: who killed Pilar? He seems to know a lot, and runs the theory be her that Shane killed Pilar. She doesn’t reply. Andy has shot a fake video to convince Daoud Mahmud he’s killed Hooman Jaka. But the video is not enough. Before Mahmud will give them their passports, he wants Jaka’s dick. Andy and Hooman walk into a morgue and ask, well, for a dick! The attendant cuts it off, hands it to Andy with the wise words, “enjoy that cock.” A scene ensues when Mahmud still doesn’t believe Andy. Out of spite Mahmud’s wife is willing to give him the passports for $5,000.

Meanwhile, Doug has returned to Agrestic (renamed Regrestic) to collect his passport so he can join the gang to Copenhagen. The scene in the living room when he discovers his wife has remarried is funny beyond description. (Kevin Nealon is such a comedic talent!) His wife’s new husband is good-looking for his age, an architect, a great cook, a jazz pianist, he used to know Jack Kerouac a little and he’s friends with Sidney Poitier. Hilarious! For his part, Sileas learns who his real father is and decides to stay in Dearborn, rather than join his family abroad, while Shane and Warren plunder the storage room filled with undelivered mail for Christmas cards money. Will Nancy leave for Copenhagen without Silas? Well, there was that cliffhanger in the last minute...
