In my opinion, except for the season premiere, this has been the best episode so far. It was never boring, and the characters that we love so much finally came to terms with a couple of things. Andy realized that Jill's a bitch and should move on, and Nancy learned that she needs to stop trying to control everyone that is close to her.
I have a feeling that that's not the only things Andy realized, either. I think he was starting to think of Nancy when he was walking about moving on. I forgot when, but he had this look of realization that quickly went away. He then saw the woman he would marry, and I doubt that would go well.
Nancy and the Rabbi are back together (were they ever apart?) now. The whole pool thing was cute, but it's something old Nancy would not appreciate. I think the new-new Nancy, who's a hybrid of the two, does appreciate the small things like that, but they are definitely not a match made in heaven. Drug-selling slut and guilt-ridden rabbi. I wonder how that will play out. I think through all that, Nancy and Andy will finally realize the only way to fill the giant gaping hole in their lives is each other. (Yeah I know, I'm puking just writing it)
Nancy's storyline with Silas was interesting, but the stereotypical southern guy was annoying as hell. I'm someone who though Silas was being a whiny bitch when he was all pouty about the weed being destroyed, so I don't even know why he feels the need to shop for a new job. What did you think happened with the weed, Silas? Lazy writing, Jenji, too forced.
Another thing I didn't like about this week's episode was the whole storyline (or a continuation of last week's episode) between Angela and Shane. Two annoying characters played by bad actors. It's not that Alexander Gould is a consistently bad actor, it's just in this episode all of his lines were poorly delivered. Their over-the-top and unrealistic sex scene did not help either.
Doug's storyline still is dumb enough to pose the question: why the hell is he still on the show? He has had nearly no interaction with the other characters this episode. If Celia's storyline was deemed "unnecessary" how is he still here? Celia should have gotten her own spin off or something, and Doug should have just gone with that show. All of his storylines are only there because the writers have no idea what to do with him. Also, is it just me or are his storylines in the past couple of episodes left where nothing is resolved? Last episode, it ended with him sucking dick, and now he's giving away money so a homeless lady can have a sex machine? I know he's stupid, but he used to be funny and somewhat likeable.
However, the good outweighs the bad is this episode. This is the beginning to what looks like it's going to be a great ending. Don't disappoint me, Weeds! I'm sad already with both Weeds and Breaking Bad ending this season. I'm almost happy this is ending, because it's not only setting itself up for a great ending, it was also starting to over stay it's welcome in the seventh season. This season has been a huge improvement so far.
