It’s official. “Weeds” creator, Jenji Kohan, has set the record for the shortest TV pregnancy in history. Okay, that may be debatable. But, from the time Nancy Botwin started “showing, until the time she popped out Esteban’s newborn baby boy spanned all of two episodes. At San Diego Comic Con, Kohan stated that their sexy-lead actress, Mary-Louise Parker, did not want to be pregnant for the entire season.
After Esteban decided to call off the wedding under threats from Mexican powerhouse Pilar Zuazo, Nancy decides to call Andy up and escape. Who can blame her, especially when Cesar unveils a dungeon like birthing room for Nancy to conceive in? Andy swings by the Esteban estate, under the premise that Esteban is dead. Alas, he’s been duped by Nancy, who just needs a ride in Andy’s “Dukes of Hazzard” General Lee.
Nancy’s under the opinion that Esteban will have her give birth in private so that he can kill her after the baby is born. To avoid this “unfortunate outcome,” she goes to her gynecologist Audra to induce the pregnancy. Despite Esteban’s anger, he couldn’t be happier to see his newborn son.
As for Celia, the cosmetics business does not seem to be her thing. “I’m Willie Lowman,” she says after a botched sales pitch. Wondering what the future hold for Celia, now? Enter Shane.
Shane is afraid he is going to lose his mother to Esteban and is looking for someone to be his guardian. Of course, Shane, ever the moral compass, decides to steer Celia towards a business she may be more suited for: marijuana. After Silas and Doug’s medicinal marijuana debacle and fall out with local authorities, the “Weeds” odd couple will try to get their dispensary back on track. Expect Celia to seize the opportunity.
In this clip, Andy, after shaving his scruffy beard, asks Nancy’s gynecologist Audra if she’d like to get dinner. It was only a matter of time before fan-fav and all-around-male whore, Andy Botwin, went after Alanis Morissette.
In “Weeds Season 5 Episode 8, “A Distinctive Horn,” The tension between Nancy and Esteban mounts as Pilar adds to the conflict. Nancy looks to Andy for help, just as he begins to focus on his relationship with Audra.
