What does this mean for that ominous trunk of heroin in Nancy's house? The mind twitters with possibilities: Nancy could sell it; the newly badass Marvin could swipe it; the Tres Seis could get wind of it; heck, Andy looked like he could use it. But for now, Nancy's just trying to hide it. Still in nervous possession of those blocks of dope, she and her house played host to Sullivan's party for the Agrestic city council. (The ever-unemployed Andy, previously seen making eggs in his underwear, catered the affair. Welcome back, old friend! You're truly at your best when you're being a stay-at-home schlump and de facto parent to Shane.) Sullivan will really need to suck up to the council since the houseless, spurned Doug has launched a full-on war against Majestic, using the elusive dirt shrew as leverage to erect a roadblock on S--- Highway. I wish Sully the best of luck, because we all know Doug never truly loses. At least one positive development came out of Sullivan's blatant attempt at suck-uppery: Between gratuitous bouts of flirting with him, Celia managed to patch things up again with frenemy Nancy. Or so it would seem.
Meanwhile, over in Majestic, Silas was forging his own kind of bond with guest star Mary-Kate Olsen. While dealing at a local senior-citizen center, he met the God-and-ganja-loving girl and hooked up with her. (By the way, I'm using every ounce of self-restraint here not to crack a joke about twiggy M.K. and the munchies.) Mary-Kate put forth a valiant effort to play it cool and dry, yet mostly came off as a bit stiff. I'm willing to let this slide because, honestly, I was transfixed hearing the expressionless, bag-lady-esque tabloid moppet actually speak. But I really didn't need to see wee Michelle Tanner dry-humping a young man. Still, I guess in context of former child stars' forays into adultish TV appearances, a guest spot on the edgy Weeds totally beats playing Amy Fisher in a movie-of-the-week, starring in a VH1 reality series about your destructive life, or hosting Pants-Off Dance-Off.
So what do you think? How did Mary-Kate do? Were you sad to see U-Turn die? Are you happy to see Andy back home? What will become of the heroin? And do you think Celia will succumb to Sullivan's advances?
This week the theme song, ''Little Boxes,'' was covered by the Shins. On a scale of 1 to 10, I give it an 8.5.
