“Nothing is exactly as it seems. Nor is it otherwise.”
The words may sound like a Battlestar Galactica prophecy, but in actuality it’s the latest smack-in-the-face foreshadowing in the Weeds Season 5.
The test results are in: Nancy is the mother of Esteban’s son. However, fans still have the looming doubt in their minds after Nancy mutters the words “nothing is exactly as it seems” inscribed on a pre-baby shower gift from her baby’s daddy. In case you missed the words being spoken, the director provided a close up on the box for an added taste of foreshadowing humor.
Ignacio, Esteban’s latest “goon guard,” moves in with Nancy and the family. He’s a taser happy goon, and gives Andy a few thousand volts to the back. Our favorite promiscuous Botwin lover passes, out wetting his pants. Wetting your pants in front of Nancy, the girl you can’t have, is enough to drive a man mad. Or, if you’re Andy, put on your best short shorts, headband and tube socks and start a nerdy workout regime.
Capt. Roy Till shows up, stalking Ignacio. After quoting a line from Dirty Dancing, “Nobody puts Baby in the corner, Till tries to storm the Botwin. Unfortunately, Ignacio is one step ahead of him with his now notorious taser.
“I’m going to burn his clothes, drain his blood, and null his balls with acid.” Ignacio is head-over-heels to dish out some malicious punishment to Till. Where does Esteban find these people – the U.S. Post Office? Nancy, very nonchalantly, uses Ignacio’s taser to put him to sleep, on his own urine. Tasing may now be America’s number one pastime.
Nancy handcuffs Till and Ignacio to the bed; she is unable to figure out what to do with the two quarreling foes. When Nancy leaves, Ignacio and Till engage in a vicious round of “foot fighting.” But, all quarrels are put aside when Ignacio points out Till just caught a boner playing battling-footsies him. Till states, “It’s a perfectly normal reaction to the adrenaline of combat.” Ignacio cries out in horror like a child, “I don’t want to fight no more with you.”
Andy tries to impersonate Judah Botwin in an effort to get the money from his brother’s bank account. When he asks Shane if this is the morally right thing to do, to help the family, Shane turns over his father’s passport and leaves with several thousand dollars worth of marijuana to sell to his teacher. Shane’s moral compass may have gone south, but he is still the voice of truth. “I’m a Botwin, we’re not responsible for anything we do.”
The laughs haven’t stopped since Weeds Season 5 began. Fans also caught a funny scene where Nancy threw lighted matches at Celia for asking to move in with the Botwins.
In the next episode of Weeds, Nancy visits her obstetrician Dr. Audra Kitson (Alanis Morissette) to discuss the possibility of aborting the baby. Meanwhile, Shane goes to get his pot back from Mr. Sandusky with the help of Ignacio. But, what fans will really want to know is, will Nancy and Andy hook up? And, if so, how will Esteban take the news?
In this clip from Weeds Season 5 Episode 5, ” Van Nuys,” Celia, who has been secretly living in the garage, is finally discovered by Nancy.
