‘Weeds’: Catfight!

Yes, the Tarantino-esque lunacy continued in a how-will-it-end kind of way. Nancy owes a boatload of cash, and Conrad is readying himself for a lifetime of MILF-weed farming servitude. But in between it all, there were some really sweet and really funny moments giving us hope that maybe our wacky, robust suburban satire is back on track. "Where were you trying to go?" big brother Silas asked recently rescued little brother Shane, the two sitting side by side in jail. "I don't even know anymore," Shane replied. True dat, nodded Silas, later extending a very touching pat to his possum-eyed bro. Meanwhile, Celia's plus-size daughter, Isabelle, by far the sassiest, savviest, quickest-evolving character, is getting the best lines and scenes: "Dad, Mom's passed out in the atrium," she announced before flopping on the couch with a giant hot-fudge sundae. That's the kind of disturbing we can get into. —Emma Pearse
