Weeds 5.7 “Where the Sidewalk Ends”

WEEDS 5.7

“WHERE THE SIDEWALK ENDS”

weed

…And now, the continuation of Weeds.

Nancy’s packing her things as Esteban tries to prevent her from leaving.  She wants to know who the stiletto-heeled Mexicunt was who is preventing their holy matrimony. It turns out that the lady is very well connected, and Esteban needs her in order to win the next election in his political scheme . He assures Nancy that they will indeed get married – after the election.
Meanwhile, back at the medicinal marijuana shop in Ren-Mar, Silas is still attempting to run a respectable business as Doug wanders around the store completely wasted, eating laced ice cream cones.  Deputy Jones enters the store out of uniform, having recovered in his car from his blow to the head last week, and he’s back to extorting Doug and Silas for 10K to keep him from filing assault charges.
Back at Esteban’s home, Nancy-who is very close to her due date finds out the house is being set up with a birthing room so she never has to leave the house for any reason.  So who does Nancy turn to? Andy, of course. And of course Andy shows up driving one of his new toys: one of 17 General Lee cars used in The Dukes of Hazzard in season 4. Or at least that’s what the guy he bought it from told him. He paid enough for it, so it better be. He drives Nancy away from Esteban’s Mansion, and admits he still loves her even though she is poison.  They go to see Dr. Alanis Morissette and induce labor, so she can have the baby on U.S. soil with a U.S. birth certificate. And may I add right here, that with all the hype of Alanis Morrisette appearing in this show, her character has had hardly anything to do. Of course that may have something to do with the fact that she can’t act, but I digress.

Meanwhile, we find Celia attending a motivational seminar given by the You’re Pretty! Cosmetics lady Raylene. Afterwards, Celia tries her hand at selling cosmetics to her co-workers from the mall, fails, and returns to the Botwin house, dejected.  Shane is there to meet her, since he was told by his mother to go there after school as part of their escape plan.  He wants Celia to tell Nancy she will take care of him so he can stay there. She’s not too keen on the idea until he starts giving her a foot massage. Then he tells her she’s selling the wrong product. She should sell what people really want. Drugs, for instance.

At the pot store, customers are all decked in full costume as part of Comic-Con, which is taking place nearby. Dean comes in to see Silas, who has hired him to dissolve his business partnership with Doug. They compromise – Doug will keep away as long as he gets a morning bowl every day. As soon as that’s decided, the DEA bursts into the store, and orders everyone down on the floor. They’ve come to arrest Jones for theft, extortion, and falsifying documents. Turns out the quiet, unassuming guy Silas hired to help them in the shop – whom Doug tried to fire earlier that day so he could hire a hot chick he wanted to bang – is an undercover cop.

Esteban and his goon come busting into the hospital. He bursts into Nancy’s room, where she is lying in bed talking to Andy and Shane. Thinking she is still pregnant, he starts to throw her clothes on the bed for her to get ready to leave. At this point, the door opens and a nurse brings in the newborn baby and puts him into Nancy’s arms. “He has your eyes,” she says.

What Next?

Stay tuned!!

Nurse Jackie: Season 1; Episode 7: “Steak Knife”


NURSE JACKIE: 1.7

“STEAK KNIFE”

Jackie tells Dr. O’Hara that they decided to send their daughter Grace to the private school “Immaculate Virgin”. Dr. O’Hara offers to pay for the school, but Jackie refuses. Before they enter the hospital, Jackie notices that Dr. O’Hara is wearing two different shoes and asks if everything is alright, O’Hara shrugs it off as if it was not a big deal.

A new patient named Zak is brought to the ER with multiple stab wounds to the chest. The patient’s date, a young woman named Lori, reveals that they were on their first date when her ex-husband showed up despite a restraining order and stabbed her date.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Akalitus discovers a baby in a baby car seat. When she asks for its parents, no one answers.

Dr. Cooper joins Dr. O’Hara and Jackie who take care of the stab wound patient. Jackie wants to send him away, but Dr. O’Hara tells a surprised Jackie that she prefers him to stay. Soon later, she tells Dr. Cooper to take over for her and leaves the room.

Jackie visits Eddie who texted her several times. He has a present for her, a bracelet, because it’s their anniversary. Jackie gets the date wrong (apparently she mixed up her and Eddie’s 1 year anniversary of having sex together, with her and Keith’s wedding anniversary), and when she doesn’t want to wear the bracelet, Eddie gets angry, apologizing that it’s not made of  Vicodin, and takes it back from her. This pisses Jackie off and she tells him to keep his bracelet AND his pills. 

Elsewhere, a child molester has been admitted, and Zoey needs Jackie’s help because she can’t take out the man’s katheder. When Jackie finds out the man is a child molester, she removes the katheder with a quick yank, causing the patient to scream in agony. Mo-mo who witnessed Jackie’s behavior orders her to go for a walk. She reveals she is upset because she had a fight with her boyfriend after she forgot their anniversary. Mo-mo, stunned to find out Jackie has a boyfriend, asks why she never told him. “Because you do all the talking, hun.”BRACELET

When Dr. Cooper is in Eddie’s dispensary for lunch, he swoons over the bracelet Eddie got for Jackie, and tells him to keep it. Later, Jackie talks to Lori, the friend of the steak knife victim Zak. She reveals that Zak is the first nice guy she met and after what happened she believes he won’t want to go out with her anymore. While this is all happening around her, Mrs. Akalitus walks through the hospital, still looking for the baby’s parents, and
Jackie notices that Dr. Cooper is wearing the bracelet Eddie wanted to give to her.

Jackie seeks Dr. O’Hara in her office to pour her heart out to her. Jackie tells her about the bracelet and the anniversary she forgot. Meanwhile, Dr. O’Hara takes a Xanax and Jackie wants to know what’s going on, but Dr. O’Hara still refuses to tell her. However, she offers Jackie a Xanax pill. While Dr. O’Hara looks away, Jackie takes more han one pill out of the box and hides them in her pocket. After Jackie has swallowed the pill, O’Hara advises her to clean up her mess.  Jackie goes to see Eddie and apologizes. She asks for the bracelet, but tells him that she doesn’t want to wear it at work.  Eddie agrees and takes the bracelet away from Dr. Cooper, who for my money was strangely too enamored with it in the first place!

Mrs. Akalitus still hasn’t found the baby’s parents, but is trying to keep it entertained by shaking a paperclip holder as a rattle, when Jackie approaches her and takes a paper clip out of the baby’s mouth. It’s at this time Mrs. Akalitus announces that she is informing social services about the baby.

Jackie checks on the steak knife victim Zak. She asks him to let Lori see him, but he refuses because he thinks it’s too dangerous. Jackie decides to increase his morphine dose. While he’s floating on his morphine cloud, she talks at Zak and tells him to see Lori and gives him Eddie’s bracelet to give it to Lori. Jackie sends Lori to his room, when O’Hara appears and tells her that her day wasn’t easy and she will be alone after work while Jackie will be going home to her family and Jackie invites her over.

At home, over a bottle of scotch, O’Hara talks about her trouble with her step father that has bothered her all day. The next morning, Fiona is making coffee for her, when O’Hara notices an unpaid bill from the water and power companies on Jackie’s kitchen table and puts it in her purse.  Soon after, Jackie and Kevin enter the kitchen, as well as Grace in her uniform of her new school.  While O’Hara helps Grace with her hair, Kevin spies the bill in her purse and takes out. Without saying anything, Jackie asks Kevin not to make a scene, but it’s pretty obvious to me that he was pissed.

So what’s up with Dr. O’Hara? How long can Jackie keep up her affair with Eddie before Kevin finds out? How will Grace cope in Catholic school? Will Mrs. Akalitus ever find the parents of the baby left at the hospital?

Keep it here!

And Until Next Time, thanks for reading and your comments are encouraged and more than welcome!

Weeds Season 5, Episode 6 “A Modest Proposal”

weeds_a_modest_proposal_s05e06“A MODEST PROPOSAL”

Weeds: Season 5 Episode 6

As we see on our screens as episode 6 opens, it is

SIX MONTHS LATER…

And I’m thinking to myself, “Not another Desperate Housewives moment!”, but as they only went 6 months into the future, I guess that’s better than 5 years, and it’ll help the story line along nicely.

Well, anyway, here we are 6 months later, at Esteban’s mansion, Nancy in the shower, and quite pregnant,and the proud papa Esteban reading a book on baby names.  She gets out of the shower and he hands her a box, saying “I’ve decided that we will get married.”  Quite the romantic, although the ring is big and purple and well, downright ugly. Turns out THAT ring was the championship ring of the soccer team he owns and with that he gives her the real deal. What is she going to say? No? I didn’t think so.

Shane has been picking up some spanish here and there hanging out with Ignacio, and drinking coffee, because Esteban told him it will put hair on his chest.  Shane decides to play hooky from school so he and Ignacio end up at a driving range and decide it will be fun If Ignacio honks the car horn every time someone tries to hit the ball, until one irate golfer decides to give Ignacio the finger, which of course ends up with Ignacio taking the man’s driver and beating him to a pulp, ala Tony Soprano, which makes Shane think twice about what “Fun” is.

Andy, in the meantime, is taking Nancy’s exit a bit harder. Growing a full beard and putting on some weight. He’s also gone through almost all of the $180,000 he got from Judah’s secret bank account and spent it on slot machines, pool tables, and a Ms. Pac-man video game. Oh, yeah, and he bought the General Lee car from the Dukes of Hazzard. He has not returned any of Nancy’s calls and she even goes to see him even when she goes to see him and talks to his voice mail in person.  He refuses to talk to her, even when she tells him she misses him and thats she’s engaged, but instead later shows up at Esteban’s to give the couple his blessings. And to inform Nancy that when things go wrong, and they will, and she becomes widowed once more, he will not be around for her.  But, as sure as I’m sitting here, she’ll end up in trouble, and as always, he’ll be there for her.

Celia, in the meantime, is still living in the garage, and has managed to find work at an athletic shoe store called “Super Sneakers” (referee style uniforn shirt and all) yet insists on wearing her high heels to work even though she has to run for the bus, which of course in pure Celia fashion, she misses. Good thing for her, because a beautiful blonde in a “You’re Pretty” Cosmetics car pulls up to the bus stop and liking Celia’s shoes, offers her a ride. We can only assume where this is going!

Oh, and Nancy finds time to go to the prison to visit Guillermo and rub her engagement and ring in his face. Why? I’m not sure, unless to prove he was wrong about Esteban, or that maybe the actor’s contract doesn’t run out until the end of the season?

Doug and Silas’ medical marijuana dispensary is up and running but with Deputy CP Jones always hanging around and helping himself to the merchandise, seeing as the boys have been coming up short lately with their payments, customers are not buying up the stock. Doug is on this George Hamilton kick as well, after reading his autobiography, even going as far as to having himself spray tanned. With Doug’s new “What would George Hamilton do?” attitude, he gets into an altercation with CP in the store trying to get him to leave and when CP takes a swing at Doug, missing, falling and taking a knock to the noggin, there’s no telling what will happen next.  We next see Doug scraping off his spray-on tan, saying that “George Hamilton can ‘Love at First Bite ‘ MY ASS!”

And just when you think things couldn’t get any worse, some crazy woman, barges into Esteban’s house, confronts him on the patio, and with Nancy over hearing, rattles off some stuff in spanish, leaves, and when Nancy confronts him, he tells her that things have changed and he cannot marry her.  HUH???

SPOILER ALERT!!!

If you want to know what was said to Esteban, here it is, as far as I know.

“You loved me good, until you got your BOY with her. But Marry her? Are you crazy? All the eyes of Mexico will be on you. All my hopes, my effort, my money, my time – I put into YOU?
You should have killed the f-in white b*tch when you had the chance! What I’m saying is you have to choose between me and the white woman.”

Is this woman his wife? Is he still married?  Is she the “Boss” so to speak of whatever mob, if that’s what it is, he is in? My guess is he truly loves Nancy, since he was supposed to have killed her already. But, we’ll see.

NEXT WEEK!!

So, Until Next Time!

Happy Viewing!!

Weeds 5.5 “Van Nuys”

WEEDS 5.5 “VAN NYUS”

The 5th episode of the 5th season, “Van Nuys”, begins with Andy and Nancy at the Women’s Health Center, to meet with her obstetrician Dr. Audra Kitson (played by guest star Alanis Morissette) to discuss the option of aborting her baby. Is this obstetrician someone Esteban picked out for her? I can’t imagine why she would want to do this, because she would be signing her own death warrant if Esteban ever found out, and if Dr. Kitson employed by Esteban and Nancy decided to abort the child, she could rat her out to Esteban.

Would she seriously consider an abortion, or as Andy put it, “go to Van Nuys”, or “You’ve gotta abort that gopher, Nance!” And she scolds a pregnant woman for eating junk food in the waiting area, even though the woman is there to have an abortion herself.  She must care something about the baby, right?  She leaves without having made her mind up but instead decides to plant a garden of nice smelling herbs to help curb her hyper-sensitivity to smells. Her garden is killed by grubs, as if almost symbolically by the end of the episode.

Meanwhile, Andy makes good on his promise by impersonating his dead brother Judah and going out on a date with the far from normal “Mags”, and they go for fondue, re-enacting her and Judah’s first date, and before Andy can enjoy dinner, she asks him, as Judah, to take her virginity, which of course causes Andy to do a spit take. Before their date is over they end up in the midst of a bunch of homeless guys and Andy ends up having sex the whack-job mags.  But, he ended up with Judah’s money and continues to try to convince Nancy to run away with him, with the baby or without,  as he tells her “These are very dark waters you’re swimming in, even for you.” But, it seems that Nancy hasn’t made up her mind about moving in with Esteban yet.

Elsewhere, Nancy finds she has a squatter in her garage. Celia! Complaining that she has no place to go, and she was left to die in Mexico, Nancy gives her two days to get out. She even asks Nancy if there’s any chance she can get her old job back at the mall. WEEDS (season 4)Gotta love that Celia. Poor

girl, nothing seems to be going  right with her these days. And,  best yet, when Celia looks in the  freezer in the garage, we finally  find out what happened to Sucio!  Celia runs up to Nancy’s      bedroom yelling “Dead  Mexican!!”  Nancy has to call  Esteban telling him, and he send  two of his thugs out to retrieve  the body.  Celia is there when they arrive and watch as they proceed to put Sucio’s body in a barrel of acid.  When Celia tells Nancy she is going to take a bath, Nancy tells her that if she does, the toaster will go in after her. But, it seems for the time being, Celia has all she needs to hold over Nancy’s head as she took pictures of the thugs disposing of Sucio’s body and that it’s taking place in Nancy’s garage.  Looks like Celia will be staying indefinitely. Although I’m not sure how the pictures will hold any water. She’s done plenty of things Nancy could come back with.

After getting ripped off by his teacher in the last episode, Shane, Isabelle and Ignacio pay a visit to Mr. Sandusky. Shane takes back the weed but also takes several items from the apartment and when Ignacio tells Shane to “shoot him in the leg” he shoots his pet cockatoo, thinking he meant to shoot the bird, not his teacher.  Later, Nancy makes Shane return all the items and bring over a new iguana to replace the bird, telling him birds carry disease and this would be better with the ladies. But, he retaliates against Shane, telling he is going to fail him, and knocking him to the floor. Nancy goes ape over this, picking up a baseball bat and using it to cut off his air supply tells him it’s not nice to steal from a child and makes sure he won’t take advantage of her son again before they leave and grounding Shane, including “no more tweetering.” There are still signs of the badass Nancy Botwin I’ve always loved.

Not a whole lot of Doug and Silas in this episode, although they do visit a “Weed  Agent” by the name of “The Wizard” as recommended by Deputy Jones (guest Larry Joe Campbell) to supply their “medical marijuana” store.  After some haggling over price with Doug counter offering with “suck my balls” they reach an agreement with some coaxing by “The Wizard’s” sword wielding “associate.” Doug did manage to throw a few one-liners in there as he and Silas were setting up shop. “I think I’m slightly retarded in the mouth,” says Doug after he and Silas hurl insults and then hug it out after Doug takes a punch in the mouth after blaming Silas for killing his father, and then recanted it by saying “you didn’t kill your father, Shane did.”

But, to me the biggest surprise came when Andy seems to have convinced a teary-eyed Nancy to run away with him, leave a goodbye note to Esteban saying he’ll understand if he truly loves her, and drive off and escape his evil, it goes the other way, Andy gets the goodbye note instead, and she and Shane end up moving in with Esteban.

Does she really like the guy?

Or is she just afraid he’ll come after her, which, of course, he would.

Will Andy be her knight in shining armor to rescue her from the so-called evil clutches of Esteban?

Has Esteban changed for the sake of his unborn child?

It’s going to be very interesting what happens now that she has moved in with Esteban.  I’m sure we’re in for some very interesting episodes to come!

Stay Tuned!

Until Next Time,

Weeds Season 5: Episode 4

weeds_super_lucky_happy_s5e4cWEEDS SEASON 5: EPISODE 4

“SUPER LUCKY HAPPY”

Another great episode of Weeds! This show, I don’t care what anyone else thinks, just keeps getting better and better!!  I don’t know if it’s the writing, the acting, or both.

Continuing where episode 3 left off,  Esteban meets Nancy, and the rest of the family at the house after he calls them to say it’s OK to come home. Unfortunately, Esteban’s first meeting with Silas and Shane doesn’t go as well as planned:

Silas: “So you’re the mayor of Mexico or something?”
Esteban: “Or something, yes.”
Shane: “And you stuck your penis inside my mother at least once.”
Nancy: “Ok, then. Good night, Shane. Go upstairs.”

But, on the bright side, if you can call it that, Esteban got the pregnancy results back and he is absolutely thrilled that it’s a boy. And HIS boy. Not THEIR boy, right?  And even after he threatened to kill Nancy, Esteban starts getting all lovey-dovey sticky sweet and offering to move Nancy and the boys–even Andy into his home. Nancy seems to be good with it. Then again, what choice does she have??

I thought this episode especially funny when Celia showed up at Nancy’s door begging to stay only to wind up having her booted out with all her stuff behind.  Makes me kinda wonder why Celia wouldn’t just move back to Agrestic and just start her life over.  It’s obvious that no one cares enough about her for her to stay.

One of my favorite scenes was when Andy gets zapped by Esteban’s thug, Ignacio, pissing his pants and ends up in the garage to work out dressed like he came right out of Olivia Newton John’s “Let’s Get Physical” video.  As always,  some great Andy segments in this episode, as Andy finds a bank book hidden in a pair of boxing gloves in the garage belonging to his dead brother and Nancy’s late husband Judah.  Trying to impersonate his dead brother and get access to the money in Judah’s secret account is another thing altogether.  The bank teller Margaret he tries to con into thinking he was Judah turns out to be a former lover of Judah. She agrees to help Andy gain access to the account if he will go out with her. But, he has to pretend he is Judah.  Whack job or not, Andy will do it to get access to Judah’s money.

Shane has some serious issues this season. And why not, when his mother tried to leave him with her sister in the previous episode.  Now, he’s taken to selling pot to his English teacher, telling Andy in one particularly thought provoking scene, “I’m a Botwin. We’re not responsible for anything we do.”  Shane meets with his English teacher who plans to spend $4,000 for Shane’s pot only to have the teacher drive off with the pot and Shane penniless.  Esteban’s goon Ignacio turns out to be the same goon who caused the death of Captain Roy Till’s lover last season and while Roy decides to pay a surprise visit to Nancy, ends up being tazed, pissing his pants and drug into the house.

When Nancy realizes Ignacio is Till’s target she has no other choice but to use the tazer on Ignacio, tying the both of them to her bed.  She knows that no matter which one she would untie, they would kill the other and most likely her as well, so she turns to her Magic 8 Ball, which is no help. But thankfully Esteban arrives to check on her and he handles the situation.  What we see as a result is Ignacio emerging from the bedroom alone, leaving us to the conclusion that Captain Roy Till is no longer a threat to anyone, especially himself.The final scene was bittersweet with Nancy and Esteban walking along the beach and Esteban pitching the Magic 8 Ball into the ocean, then cutting to Andy in the final scene at home putting the finishing touches on a baby swing that Esteban presented Nancy as a gift at the beginning of the episode.

As we saw in the first scenes of this episode there is definitely some sparks between Andy and Nancy, especially when Andy asks her to kiss him when he could tell it bothered her that he had sex with her sister. The look she gave him said it all, but she just had to remind him she was having a baby.  It’ll be interesting to see who she ultimately ends up with: Andy, Esteban, or maybe no one at all??

Until Next Time!!

Happy Viewing!

Nurse Jackie Season 1; Episode 5

Nurse Jackie Season 1; Episode 5

“Daffodil”

Well, fans, Nurse Jackie and staff are pulling the Night Shift in episode 5. Daughter Grace is still having emotional problems, which worries her. At work Jackie gives Zoey the run-down on night shift duties, deals with a stroke victim and his squabbling family and a ten-year-old girl comes to the ER with her Lupis afflicted mother.  The girl claims her grandmother is coming to pick them up, which turns out not to be true.  This poor girl is her Mom’s sole caregiver. Mom is admitted to ICU but Mrs. Akalitus won’t allow the girl to be with her mother in the ICU because she is underage, but of course, Jackie sneaks her in.

Dr. Cooper forms an unlikely bond with Eddie, much to the dismay of Jackie, who is in desperate need of some pain killers, but when she goes down to the Pharmacy, she finds Eddie there with Dr. Cooper enjoying a Quizno’s dinner.  Dr. Cooper confesses to Eddie that Jackie can be kinda bitchy at times, but he grabbed her boob once, and she was cool with it.  This did not sit too well with Eddie and even when Dr. Cooper explained that it was a neurological disorder, Eddie could see right through him.  Momo has an unwelcome admirer in fellow nurse Thor, and tries to avoid him at all costs.  Jackie is too busy to join Dr. O’Hara for dinner, so Zoey takes her place instead and O’Hara takes her to a 4-star restaurant, where the conversation gets a little uncomfortable until Zoey happens to mention that her father was in jail for manslaughter.

Edie Falco is Nurse JackieStephanie is able to take her Mom home, and Jackie makes sure they don’t leave without a goodie bag from the pharmacy, and her cell number in case Stephanie ever has any problems with Mom. Jackie’s stroke patient’s family becomes to hard to handle and they don’t think she’s doing enough for her husband, so Jackie makes up some notecards for the man so he can tell his nagging wife to “Shut the F**K UP! Seriously.”  Mrs. Akalitus accidentally tasers herself when she finds a taser lying about the hospital floor.  Back at home Kevin informs Jackie that Grace had a complete meltdown when her pencil lead kept breaking, and receives a call on her cell from Stephanie that her Mom was having problems moving her arm.  Jackie instructs her to take one of the Percocets (little blue pills) she gave her, cut 1 in half and give it to her with some juice.  As we see Jackie talking Stephanie through the procedure, we see Jackie doing the same thing at home, and afterwards tells Stephanie, “She’ll be fine!”

Keep it here for your Nurse Jackie recaps every week.

Until Next Time!

Nurse Jackie Season 1 Episode 4

Edie Falco is back in another exciting episode NURSE JACKIEof Showtime’s original series, Nurse Jackie. In Episode 4, or “School Nurse”,  a 7-year-old boy is rushed to All Saints Hospital after falling from playground equipment. Zoey tries to comfort the boy’s mother and twin brother, which stirs up memories for “Mo Mo” whose twin brother died when he was 1-year-old.

Grace’s school calls and wants to have a conference with Jackie and Kevin to discuss Grace’s unusual behavior in class and when they get to the school, Jackie receives a text message from Eddie that he says he is horny.  Jackie passes it off to Kevin as a patient dying.  Grace’s teacher, school nurse and school psychologist are fearful that grace may be suffering from Chronic anxiety disorder because the picture she drew of the family had dark colors and no sun up in the sky. Also that Grace has to walk around her desk in class three times before sitting down or “planes will fall out of the sky”.

It is suggested that Grace be evaluated and possibly put on medication which sends Jackie up the wall that just because a kid acts a little differently, right away it automatically means they need to be on medication.  Afterwords, Kevin and Jackie discuss tightening their belts and putting Grace in a private school.  One more text from Eddie later and Jackie tells Kevin she needs to get back to the hospital, where en route she buys a second cell phone just for Eddies calls.

Edie Falco is Nurse Jackie

Edie Falco is Nurse Jackie

Back at All Saints, Dr. O’hara has some good news for the mother and twin brother of the boy who suffered his playground injury, thereby incurring the uncomfortable (for her) gratitude from his twin brother.

Nearby, Zoey is complaining that she never gets to treat any patients of her own, so when the next patient, an elderly woman from a skilled nursing facility comes in, she finally gets her chance.  The woman has a DNR and depite all her best efforts, Zoey gets and loses her first patient.  Jackie notices this and offers, “It’s never easy. And if it becomes easy it’s time to quit.”

That’s life in Jackie’s world!

Until Next time!

Nurse Jackie Season 1 Episode 3

Nurse Jackie is back with episode 3 “Chicken Soup”. Kevin is worried that their oldest daughter Grace may have a problem when all she wants to do is watch documentaries about world war NURSE JACKIEand disease. An elderly man with congestive heart disease and a triple bypass in 1994 refuses treatment and instead his wife comes in to sit with homemade chicken soup from home and feeds him, saying it’s the only medicine he needs.

Jackie sees Eddie for more meds for her troubling back and he informs her that he is going to be replaced with a pill dispensing machine, which ticks Jackie off to no end prompting her to turn to the least likely of people for help:  Doctor “Coop” Cooper. She asks him if he will vote against the hospital replacing Eddie with a robot, which of course makes “Coop” assume she has a little crush on Eddie.  Boy, if he only knew!

A young couple visiting New York from Ohio make an emergency visit when the girlfriend starts suffering from abdominal pains, which leads Jackie to order a pregnancy test only to have the results come back negative for pregancy but positive for opiates.  The girl had gotten hooked ever since she had wisdom teeth pulled and her doctor put her on vicadin for the pain.

Dr. O’Hara borrows Zoeys brand new thethoscope that her mother bought for her to check a paitents heart and never returns it, prompting Jackie to remind her that it is part of her uniform and she better have it on her at all times. Little does she know Dr. O’Hara is pulling a prank on her.  After several unsuccessful  attempts to try and ask for it back, Zoey runs into O’Hara sitting in the hall apparently taking a catnap, sunglasses on and all.  Zoey manages to get the thethoscope back and as she turns to walk away we see a sly grin come over O’hara’s face proving that she was aware of it the whole time.

Chicken soup man ultimately passes away, his wife telling Jackie that she knew all along of the pain he was in even though he didn’t thinks she knew, but as she said, “We were married for 100 years. How could I not know.”

Back at home after a long day at work, Jackie trys to console Grace as she asks if there could ever be another disease or flu that could wipe out the population. She confidently tells her no. Not with todays medicine. Then trys to get Grace to try some soup. It is good for her. It will help what troubles her.

Need I have to tell you what kind of soup that was? Hmmmmmmmmm?

I didn’t think so.  Once again, a wonderful episode.

Until Next time!

Weeds S5; Ep.3 “Su-Su-Sucio”

In Episode 3 “Su-Su-Sucio” Nancy gets a new body guard when Cesar can’t take anymore of her and brings in Sucio, who hasn’t showered in probably a month but is, as Cesar puts it, “comfortable with his man smell.” Andy returns to Ren Mar and Nancy knowing that Shane is safely tucked away with sister Jill. Nancy starts to bleed in the bathroom and they rush to the hospital where Esteban’s doctor advises Nancy to avoid all stress of any kind. Easier said than done.

In Mexico, meanwhile, Celia is still playing house with her Rebel host helping to organize his operation and even going so far as to try critiquing his ransom notes and trying to rewrite them and making a general nusiance of herself that she is drugged–AGAIN, and wakes up on a bus that drops her butt off in Texas!

Meanwhile, Doug and Silas return and Silas has a proposition for Nancy: he wants to start a legitimate retail business selling medicinal marijuana which is perfectly legal in Ren Mar.  Nancy reluctantly agrees to fund his venture as long as he promises to keep Doug away from the inventory.  And if this wasn’t stressful enough, sister Jill pays a surprise visit with Shane in tow. Turns out Shane threatened to show the pictures of her and Andy having sex to her husband and she had no choice but to bring the little pervert back home, refusing to let him move back in with her. Nancy pleads with her sister to reconsider since it is too dangerous for Shane to be there. Jill’s visit is as much a surprise to Andy and the two end up in Andy’s room to continue where they left off.

With Nancy’s blessing, Silas and Doug apply for a business license for their medical marijuana store, but hit a snag when they are informed that their application cannot be accepted without signed consent from a law enforcement official.  Of course they end up meeting a crooked cop who demands monthly payments in exchange for his signature!

Nancy, meanwhile has become fed up with Sucio’s filth and drags his butt to the yard where there is a shower and forces him to clean up his act, so to speak. But when she goes to retrieve the hopefully clean bodyguard, she finds he has disappeared with only his discarded clothes and a puddle of blood in his place. Totally freaked, Nancy grabs everyone and flees the house.  Nancy tries to convince Jill that they are in mortal danger and begs her to catch the next flight home. That is until Nancy receives a call from Esteban on her cell making sure she is following doctors orders and taking it easy.  She tells him what happened to Sucio and fears that it is a sign from Guillermo and that he knows she ratted him and his tunnel out to the DEA and it’s payback time. Esteban tells her if it was Guillermo, he would have killed her and not Sucio and to go someplace safe and wait for his next call.

And all of this is happening under the watchful eye of Agent Roy Till from a nearby car.

Did Agent Till have something to do with the disappearance of Sucio?  Did Sucio at least get a shower?  What has become of Celia?  Will Doug and Silas’ medicinal marijuana store be a success or will Doug smoke all the profits away?

Weeds S5;Ep.2 “Machetes Up Top”

TCDWEED EC094In “Machetes Up Top”, Nancy receives a message from Guillermo and must visit him in prison without Esteban finding out.  That means ditching the goon that Esteban has keeping Nancy “company”.  During her visit Guillermo blames her for the DEA finding ans shutting down his magical tunnel, which she denies.  When he finds out that she is “with child”, namely Esteban’s, he tells her she is doomed to find herself dead in some landfill with her lady parts cut out, since she is not Esteban’s wife and only the knocked up whore whose life and the life of her unborn child are of no meaning.

Elsewhere, at Nancy’s estranged sister Jill’s house, Andy tells Jill that Nancy would like her to take Shane in to live with her and her husband and twin daughters and that it is for his own safety.  Reluctant to do anything for a sister who only talks to her when she needs something, Jill agrees.  After Jill and Andy knock off about a case of wine, and Jill pours out her feelings about how both she and Andy are so unappreciated, they end up getting it on. And Shane captures all the action on his cell phone camera!

In the National Forest, Doug and Silas run into some trouble finding a place to grow their weed and narrowly escape with their heads intact, minus their weed which was taken by some goons who had the same idea of growing pot in the forest.

Somewhere in Mexico, now that Quinn was kicked to the curb by her rebel leader boyfriend, Celia is given her freedom.  But, with nowhere to go and all her friends and ex-husband caring less about her well-being, she decides to stay, and organizes her captors weaponry with “Machetes Up Top” of the shelves.

Elsewhere, fearful for her life, Nancy pays Dean a visit to have him draw up a last will incase something should happen to her, naming Silas as Shane’s legal guardian. Nancy ends up in a Japanese restaurant, drinks herself silly and pays Esteban a surprise visit.  She confronts him with her new found information and asks when she will wind up in a landfill.  Esteban tells her he hasn’t decided that yet, and in turn she pulls a gun, points the barrel at her tummy, puts the trigger in his hand and tells him to decide NOW!  Bad move Nancy!  Esteban throws her on a table,  pulls down her skirt and reminds her who is in charge!!

Stay tuned for Episode 3!!

Happy Viewing!!
