What I’m Watching: Weeds

Weeds: Season 7, Episode 9 “Cats! Cats! Cats!” (B+)

Nancy officially makes the worst informant ever, mostly because she can’t keep anything to herself. Telling Foster that they’re going to indict him negates the help she’s been giving to the SCC. Clearly she has quite the pull over people, since Foster still invites her to come away with him on his plan C to a mysterious island starting with a B. That whole informant business shouldn’t be much of a problem anymore now that Doug came in and eviscerated the agents about their retirement funds, going so far as to compel one of the agents to purchase pot from Nancy on the spot for the price of the lost recording device. I enjoyed seeing Andy figure out a way to get Zoya very angry by claiming that he wants to come to Vermont, and it’s good that Nancy was able to take serious steps to get Zoya out of their lives for the time being. Shane using the police computer to dig up info on the competition was ballsy but ultimate proved to be rather stupid since he got himself caught by his extremely disappointed internship supervisor. The dumbest Botwin family member, of course, is Silas, who tries to woo Emma and introduce her to his business without realizing that she was playing him the whole time and that she’s actually the head of the rival operation. The sight of all those bikes on the ceiling is just bad news, and I have a feeling things aren’t going to get any easier or better for the Botwin clan anytime soon.
