Weeds, Season 3, Episode 12, "The Dark Time".
What's more beautiful than Alexander Ovechkin scoring a goal on Tampa's empty net with just ten seconds left in the third period? I didn't think the Caps could top that, but they did when they played the Leafs tonight. Final score? Caps seven, Leafs one.
I screwed up, and forgot to set record Weeds on the DVR. I only missed the first minute or two, so I feel comfortable writing up this weeks episode. I was relieved to find out that this is not the season finale, and there are three more episodes left.
Missing the first couple of minutes was a blessing in disguise. Tuning in and seeing Nancy pressing a knife to Celia's throat was shocking. It really drove home the fact that Nancy is a criminal, whether or not she can admit it to herself. Later on in the episode, Nancy asks Conrad how Silas is doing, and she looks uncomfortable when Conrad says Silas has a future in their business.
The other big surprise this episode was the realization that Sullivan is really shady and sleazy. It wasn't the fact that Sullivan smashed Doug's bong with a golf club that clued me into this. It was the shot of the sign on his office building. The sign reads like this on the building:
ATM has two meanings. It can mean Automatic Teller Machine, but it also has a slightly less common usage, Ass To Mouth. Sullivan is sleazy and shady enough to appreciate a pungent double entendre such as that. I suspect Sullivan is being set up for a big fall at the end of season three or the start of season four. Celia is letting Nancy use one of his homes as a grow op, and if the house werer to be busted by the feds, all of Sullivan's assets could be forfeited.
The show started with a bang, and ended with a bang, quite literally - Conrad and Nancy finally got it on. I suppose it was eventually going to happen, but I thought the writers were going to string us along until the end of the fourth season. With some deft twists and turns, it's too hard to predict where the storyline is going, but it's starting to look like one hell of a toboggan ride.
