Weeds Season Finale: Little Boxes on a Tijuana Hillside

Ever since the weekend I spent locked up in my dorm room, sick and watching every single episode of the first two seasons of Weeds, I have been addicted. This Showtime series is always witty and has the perfect level of mystery so that you could never stop watching.

The Season 4 finale was nothing short of this. SPOILER ALERT. Truly, the most important part of the episode was the last few minutes.

• Ex-cocaine addict, Celia went to visit her estranged daughter in Mexico and is now being held hostage by her daughter, but will Celia's ex-husband even dream of forfeiting the $200k? I would venture to say NO, but then again, it wouldn't be the same without Celia getting herself into one sticky situation after another.


• How does Doug manage to make pretending to hang himself funny? Well, lets just say he makes it sexual, of course. Honestly, I don't care what he has to do, as long as he lives. Between Doug and Andy, the show is always entertaining.


• So the second biggest reason Weeds has us coming back is that Andy is in love with Nancy. He has never been a big charmer, but suddenly he seems completely lovable. But will this work with Nancy's secret?


• Nancy has been found out by her boyfriend, the Tijuana mayor, as an informant. She is the sole reason that part of his operation was shut down by the DEA. The entire episode leads up to Nancy meeting up with the mayor, where she is surely about to be killed, but what do you know? She whips out a ultrasound photo.

FIN.

How could the creator of Weeds, Jenji Kohan, leave us hanging like that? Well, in an interview with E!, she had this to say about the finale and what's coming up.

"When we conclude a season we don't necessarily know where we're headed next season. We figure, if we know where we're going, then the audience will know too, and that's not what we want. So we write ourselves into a corner, take some time off, and then come back and say, 'What the hell do we do now? How do we get out of this mess?''"

Well, that doesn't say much, or actually anything at all, about where the series is going, but Jenji Kohan has the right attitude. If the writers or the audience knew where each of the characters would end up, Weeds would not be the greatness that it is.
