weedsFinally it is back, perhaps minus the bang a lot of fans were looking for, but it is back nonetheless, and those suffering Weeds withdrawals can breathe a hefty sigh of relief.

A quick refresher of season 4, and then we are lead straight into the office of Esteban Reyes, mayor of Tijuana and Mexican Mafia boss. Picking up where we left off, Esteban and his associate are arguing about whether or not to kill Nancy now they are faced with the news she is pregnant. In order to keep silence, the two guards are shot dead (isn't the news going to get out anyway?). Esteban then sends Nancy home, and we get the sense that although she has won for now, it won't be for long.

If Nancy is going to provide the drama for this episode, then the comedy is once again coming from the Celia storyline. Dean and Isabelle Hodes are innocently playing cards when Quinn's boyfriend calls, demanding a ransom for tied up and drugged by her own daughter, Celia. In typical Dean style he passes her off as his ex-wife and quickly gets back to more important things at hand, like Gin. Angered by this, and obviously bitter after years of putting up with her mother, then being shipped off, has clearly taken a toll on Quinn and she lashes out at her Mexican boyfriend, screaming and kneeing him in an inappropriate place (poor guy).andy-botwin

Finally it is time for some Doug, Andy and Silas stoner moments. It opens around the kitchen table, bongs are flying and they are eating the birthday gift basket Nancy sent to Silas last season. Their topic of choice is unsurprisingly growing weed, and where to do it. Shane arrives and is quick to start a debate on who should take Nancy's room if she doesn't return from her meeting, she walks in unnoticed on their conversation, and another reference to Doug's noose scene makes me laugh and gag at the same time again (possibly the funniest yet most disturbing scene in Weeds to date).

A sleepy looking Nancy awakes to a phonecall from Quinn's boyfriend, this time demanding $40,000 for the safe return of Celia, mirroring Dean's response Nancy claims they are not friends, and hangs up on the kidnapper.

Andy then bursts into Nancy's bedroom, with ramblings of a plan. A plan to stop being played for the mouse by the Mexican Mafia cats, and to escape by fleeing to Denmark. Andy declares his all too obvious love for Nancy and doesn't get the response he was hoping for, she drops the bombshell on him that she is pregnant (poor guy can never catch a break).
