Weeds 6x13

Nancy and her family have been on the road, off the grid, on the run from Esteban – not to mention the FBI – for the death of his PR manager Pilar. Now Esteban, with the help of Guillermo, has finally caught up. All Esteban seems to care about is his son and he will do whatever it takes to get him back. We all know Nancy will do all and everything to keep him from hurting her children. With Doug still in Regrestic, Andy is in charge to take Silas and Shane to the airport and board for Europe, Warren in tow. Silas, however, prefers to stay with his newfound bio dad, his sperm father – as he calls it. Shane keeps up his I’m-so-cool-I don’t-care attitude. “I’m going to Europe, you’re sitting here in Dearshit, Michigan, in a garage” he replies when Silas asks if he’s going to miss him. “Please, please, choose to not be a dick,” are Silas’ parting words. when Esteban and Guillermo arrive with Nancy at the airport Andy, Shane, Stevie and Warren have already checked in. She is able to get away from them, when airport security asks Esteban a few questions. She signals Andy by cell phone it’s time for Plan C. She meets them in the waiting area, takes little Stevie, and says goodbye as they board the plane. Silas had a change of heart and shows up at the airport. Esteban and Guillermo trade him for Nancy and Stevie. While Silas boards, too, Warren gets arrested for robbing the post office, but he leaves his pillow with Shane – which is filled with wads of the stolen cash! And then, as the plane takes off, Nancy walks out of the terminal – with Esteban and Guillermo watching her every move – straight into Plan C: the FBI is all over the place. She is arrested for the murder of Pilar! What a turn of events – this whole season actually! It has been at times touching, at times bizarre, but most of all it has been a fun ride. The tone was lighter than the previous season, even if the driving factor has been Pilar’s death, and Nancy was finally trying to get a grasp of her life, even if ultimately she failed to escape from her estranged husband’s clutches. It’s a nice little show. I wonder what will happen next season.
