Yay "Weeds" remembered it was a comedy this week! Dark humor and irony for all! If you remember, Nancy is completely screwed due to betraying her mobster boyfriend and only his baby in her womb is keeping her alive. Last week she tried to send Shane to her sister's house, but that didn't stick since the creepy youngest child tried to blackmail her with pictures of her sleeping with Andy. Jill shows up at Nancy's house with Shane in tow, and hands him back over, then grabbing Andy's hand and running up to his room. There's a lot of tension when we're not sure if Nancy is jealous or just annoyed. Maybe both? I'm not sure how I feel about an Andy/Nancy romance - seems like a bad idea - but it's definitely giving Andy's actor a lot of hilarious lines to toss out there. He's carrying the comedy on this show now!

Nancy is given a new bodyguard named Sucio who never showers, aims his gun at everyone, and is comically sweet on the inside. He and Nancy establish a somewhat adorable connection, but then he disappears when she forces him to take a shower and blood is everywhere. Whether this means he is dead or just missing is anyone's guess, but I'll miss Sucio. This comes after Nancy started bleeding, and the doctor told her to avoid stress of any kind. Of course that's the funniest advice in the entire world considering her current problems, and everyone secretly gets a laugh out of it. Esteban even threatens her to relax ... or else! Andy looks at him like he's an idiot, but don't get ideas that you can fight for Nancy's honor, Andy. This guy is dangerous!

Silas and Doug want to start a new business: selling medical marijuana. He sucks up to his mother and then offers the idea, and she does agree to it if he keeps Doug away from the stock. They can't get a license for it without a cop's permission, so they get extorted by a local cop and voila, the business will begin. Silas has an interesting way of looking at this, pointing out that he's entering the family business ... but in a legal way. That kid seems to be the only one with a clear head on this show.

Jill's return means a little more information about Nancy, since let's face it, we know very little about her other than her constant need to get into trouble. It seems this has always been the truth about her, and Jill's anger really is about Nancy bailing on the family and leaving her to clean up everything. Both of their parents are dead and Jill took care of them and handled the funerals without Nancy's help. It would've been nice to get some positive information about Nancy; she seems to get more and more awful as a person.

Oh, and Celia was taking over the rebel camp because she's awesome, so Rudolfo drugged her and sent her to Texas. She returns next week. Someone else who is back? Agent Till who was watching Nancy when she was fleeing the house with the family to get 'somewhere safe.' Next week the boys finally meet Esteban, Andy's like 'why is he so great?' and Silas and Doug start their business.
