Weeds – Was that “Little Boxes” we heard?

Nancy a lesbian? I still think it’s more about the sensationalism than anything else … but how sensational was Zoya’s ungraceful barge into the midst of Nancy’s life? The scene in Demetri’s apartment was painful to watch; no one wants to see Nancy treated like that, no matter what your opinion of her. And her bouncing from one sibling to the other was as gross as it was meant to be. Mismatched hickeys? Yeah, that was cute, but it’s easy enough to mentally pretend that she’s just loose — which she is — and not that she’s sleeping with a brother and sister.

But I loved when Zoya entered the guys’ apartment just as Nancy was trying to keep Foster (Aidan Quinn) from being totally inundated with the crazy that is Nancy’s life. Silas’ dismissal of him at the elevator was great, but I didn’t think it could get any better than when Demetri started handing out packages of Afghan weed to Silas and Andy … Zoya introducing herself around and kissing Nancy hard topped that moment, hands down.

Did we even get more than a peak at Doug this week? I’m starting to fear that, once again, Doug’s nothing but a means to an end — in this case the person who introduced Nancy to the firm that she’s now selling out to the SEC. When will it be Doug’s turn to soar like an eagle?

Andy’s at least fighting for his chance to fly solo. I loved the Style Section piece on the Copenhagen Wheel, even if there’s a chance that it, too, isn’t going to amount to more than the way the Pouncy House gang located rival dealer Silas (Michelle Trachtenberg, as Emma, seems destined to join Mary-Kate Olsen and Julie Bowen in the Silas’ girlfriend chorus). But I have a feeling that there’s more to Andy’s story than there might be to Doug’s … Andy’s long overdue after living for Nancy for years, and I think this time he’s going to fight. The wheel’s silly, but as a result it makes even more sense for it to be what Andy finally puts his foot down over.

What’s going on with Shane? The serial killer’s hanging out with a poor slob of a detective who’s too chicken to admit that he’s probably the creep birth father who ran out on the son he’s now trying to win back? Whether my guess is correct or not, I think it’s fair to write Shane off this season. He’s going nowhere fast.

I wonder why Silas is itching to grow too big for his britches. As far as I could tell he was happy modeling, so why’s he so keen on a drug empire now? Is it all about seeking revenge on the mommy who turned her attentions elsewhere when he needed her most? If so, he might be better served with distance, not a head-to-head challenge. Why go down with her consistently sinking ship?

Meanwhile, Nancy’s out on the street now (until she screws up again). Do I smell Gary Anthony Williams’ moment of revenge a’coming?
