Watching Showtime

Finally, with this new episode there might be some reprive for Nancy! From Andy being home to figuring out how to get U-Turn off her back to her “real” job going better and better, I’m hoping this episode is officially the turning point in the season for her. For the play-by-play, keep reading!

Andy’s cooking juevos rancheros in his undies. Nancy shows him the heroin U-Turn is asking her to hold for him. Once she figures out she’s got hundreds of thousands of dollars in heroin in her house, she freaks out even more, while Andy pops a woody at the thought. Gross.

Her boss calls and wants to throw a party for the Agrestic city council, and asks her to plan it all. She’s got 5k, but is to make it look like 10. First way to cut the money? Have the party at her house. She’s trying to keep 4 out of the 5k she’s getting for the party.

Celia gets to see her new house, and finds out it has to be kept in the corporation’s name for at least six months. She and Sullivan are definitely flirting super huge. While they’re checking out the great room, Doug shows up and starts shooting golf balls through her windows that say “whore” and “cunt”.

Nancy heads to talk to U-Turn, and he’s at a boxing match. She wants him to get the heroin out of her house, and he’s talking about grooming her to be his next in command. Granted, she doesn’t want it, but he’s not taking no.

MK!! She’s leading bingo at the old folks home, and Silas is there, dealing his weed to the residents. She’s definitely checking Silas out.

Andy’s testing out his food on Shane, who’s home from summer school. Shane’s pissed that he’s stuck in the religious summer school, and tries to convince Andy to talk to Nancy about it. He’s no good at that, so he tells her to talk to Nancy. Gross Andy for jerking off to the lions having sex

Conrad and Heylia are arguing about how they don’t have a security system yet, and Nancy shows up with U-Turn. Heylia blames Nancy, but it’s U-Turn that brought Nancy there. He wants his weed, but Conrad’s telling him it isn’t ready yet. U-Turn wants Nancy to knock over a plant, bust some shit up, and Nancy argues with him before finally doing what he says. Only Heylia seems to be able to stand up to him, but it pisses him off so much he knocks over some more plants and breaks a light.

After watching her windows get broken out, Sullivan takes Celia to break ground on some of his houses. He asks her to be his date to the party Nancy’s having. Just as they’re about to break ground, Doug shows up with the Wildlife guys, halting construction until they can decide what to do about the dirt shrew issue. Seems he just wants more stuff, pissed as he is that Celia got a house out of the deal and all he got was a country club membership!

Nancy is still hanging out with U-Turn, and poor Marvin’s upset he’s been pushed aside after getting shot. It’s so strange that she’s getting meaner and meaner, taking direction from U-Turn and turning into his second in command. Unfortunately, she can’t really not become his second in command or he’ll kill her.

Back at the old folks home, Tara and Silas are talking, and she busts him out for selling weed. She promises not to tell on him if he smokes her out, despite her Jesus lovin’ cross. They agree to meet the next day for their super strange date.

Finally the party is happening at Nancy’s house. Sullivan likes the food enough that he tells Andy to cator one of the movie sets. Sullivan then puts Nancy to work getting his guests drunk so he can get them to sign stuff and do his bidding. Celia and Nancy head to the laundry room, as Celia’s worried that Nancy hates her. Once she convinces Celia that she doesn’t hate her, Celia asks if Sullivan’s mentioned her at all. While sitting on the box with all the heroin in it. Sullivan, while flirting with Celia, tries to kiss her even though she won’t let him. It would appear she wants to take things slow.

Next day, after working with the old people, Tara and Silas meet to smoke up. She’s super flirty with him, and explaining her strange beliefs. She doesn’t drink (except wine … Jesus drank it) and smokes pot but not weed (because it’s all natural and made by god himself). And despite her staying a virgin until she’s married, she’s got no problem dry humping Silas on the jungle gym. (disturbing … very disturbing. Mostly because it doesn’t look like acting.)

U-Turn, Nancy and Marvin go running up a hill, and while Marvin’s taking his sweet time, U-Turn’s having a heart attack or something. He’s got high blood pressure and he sends Nancy to get a banana for him or something. While she’s gone, Marvin smothers him with is big fat arm as payback for all the shit he’s done to him. Just as Nancy’s heading back up the hill Marvin starts acting all sad, crying and holding him. Does this mean Nancy’s free?!
