What I'm Watching: Weeds

Weeds: Season 4, Episode 7 "Yes I Can" (B+)

I'm thrilled with this episode, the best by far this season for this show. The Mary-Louise Parker I know and love is back also, exerting her naive curiosity and getting herself and some other people into trouble. It's fantastic to see some of the old cast members, like Lupita and Marvin, though I wish Sanjay was a bit more like his old self. I'm entirely amused by the prospects of Doug and Andy's coyote business, especially with their immigrants as side contractors for Shane' new bathroom install. I don't know about Shane masturbating to his mother's pictures, as he's already messed up enough. Silas' fling with Julie Bowen's cheese shop owner is harmless fun, for the time being at least. Isabel and Celia do have an entertaining relationship. Roy Till being gay isn't terribly relevant to the show, but I guess it says something about his motives for flirting with Celia? Or her desire and desperation to flirt with anyone and anything?
