Are you a loser or a closer?

Only Nancy Botwin could get away with calling someone a Stiletto Heeled Mexicunt. If you are opposed to vulgar language and culture bashing, just rememeber, she said it not me. I wonder what it is like to sit at the round table with the writers who come up with this stuff. Well the girl was from Mexico.. and she could be a slut..no a cunt..ohhh Mexicunt! Genius! That was just ONE of the craziest lines that was said on this weeks episode. Andy's "I'm not rapey enough for you" was a close second to making me almost fall off the couch.

Time is moving quickly in Weedsy Land as Nancy's due date approaches. When Esteban has an at home hospital room prepared, Nancy senses she better have this baby NOW and on her own terms before her family doesn't live to see another day.

In an ending that was so good it very well could have been a Season Finale, Esteban barges into the hospital room demanding Nancy leave the hospital. To my shock, there is a knock at the hospital door and a nurse rolls in a tiny baby. Nancy then proclaims to Esteban how the baby has his eyes. Damnnnn.... I did not see that coming!

A few other things I am dying to mention is the brilliant opening of every episode. Every episode displays the Weeds Logo and Producer information in some funky fashion. Sometimes it is carved into a bar of soap..or the shadow of a Cannabis plant, this time it was a pseudo Wiki page. I wonder if they have an entire team to fashion these creative openings and I wish I could sign up for a job doing this.

The original theme song "Tiny boxes" was finally played during the intro of this episode and many references to the past were made reminding viewers how far everyone has come. It seems that everything is coming full circle and I can't even imagine how this will all go down now that the Hemptress and her baby are here.

I don't want to end this blog without saying what an incredible role the entire cast is doing. The portrayal of each character - Doug, Silas, Andy, Shane and Celia are all so damaged yet so endearing you just really want them to come out on top.
