The Weeds Season Premier
So I’ve been mulling over what to say about the “Weeds” season premier. Basically it was good to have it back, but I guess I was expecting a little more.
Nancy’s life was spared by the Mexican mayor/drug lord because she’s pregnant. However he has his second hand man Caesar basically following her like a dog. Andy and the others found out she was pregnant and weren’t too happy. Nancy wants Andy to take Shane to stay with her sister, aka “Bitch Face,” while Silas, Doug and Andy are planning to grow pot in the cover of a national forest.
Celia meanwhile was held by her estranged daughter and her boyfriend, who called everyone they could to try and ransom her off. Nobody would pay for her. The daughter decided to just kill her and sell her organs, but because she had chemo they wouldn’t take that. In the end the daughter’s boyfriend dumped her because she was a mean nasty women, probably setting him up to be Celia’s new love toy for a few episodes.
The Celia stuff was great, the Nancy stuff . . . not so much. Next week Jennifer Jason Leigh joins as Nancy’s sister, so their interaction should be great. I still miss Conrad and Helia, who apparently won’t be back this season either.
I miss Helia and Conrad too! Helia’s character was one of my faves…and the tension between Nancy and Conrad was great! It’ll be interesting to see what happens with the rest of the season. I read in a magazine that Nancy and her youngest will move into the mayor’s house in Mexico.

I’m really sad they won’t be back another season – that trio was my favorite 🙁
