Once again we are taken to Mexico and this time Quinn is plotting to kill Celia and sell her organs to the black market. Celia suggests a week at a spa as a peace offering but her twisted daughter is having none of it. Quinn goes into a graphic description of which organs they will take, and calmly claims she wants to be there when they remove the heart just to confirm that Celia had one. Quinn's boyfriend is shocked to learn Celia had cancer and chemo, and informs Quinn they won't take her organs as a result, Quinn goes mad and starts kicking her mother and screaming. The long subjcted boyfriend finally cracks and tells her to get out of his life, then breaks down into a crying wreck.

Uncle Andy is making banana bread to help him get over Nancy being pregnant, Doug reveals to Shane his mother is pregnant and Silas goes mad, just another couple of comical moments from the stoner trio.

Andy starts talking to Nancy again and she asks him to take Shane up to her sister's (Bitchface) house to get silas-botwinhim away from everything. At this point Shane and Silas walk in and question her on being pregnant, Nancy admits it to her sons and it does not go down well. She lets Shane know he is going to stay with is aunt and decides to send Silas too, I am guessing a storyling involving Nancy's sister is impending.

Comedy moment of the episode happens now. Silas and Shane start fighting, a pregnant Nancy can't jump in, and Andy is useless to help. Not so quick thinking Nancy grabs one of the piping hot banana bread tins and throws, burning her hand in the process, this sets off Andy who screams "My beautiful love, you ruin everything you touch!".

Up until this point, although it was great to have Weeds back, I didn't think there were any classic Weeds moments in there, the ones you remember, and that which initially feel like they have no place in the story then surprise you. The next moment at the very end of the episode was one of them.  Sitting in town, Nancy is surprised to hear music start loudly, then even more surprised to see what everyone thought were random people start dancing together, it becomes clear it was a street act which encaptures community spirit. Nancy gradually starts to relax and laugh, but her one moment of fun is ruined when she sees Estebans associate watching her from across the street. For me this is when the season really began, at the end of the episode.
