Len comes through and allows Nancy and crew to stay, opening up himself and poor Bubbie to a host of potential entanglements, both legal and otherwise. But at least Nancy has the decency to acknowledge that they're on the run and avoiding a paper trail. Len assumes Andy's the culprit, while Shane and Silas brace for Act 3 of the thug life.

Back to police headquarters, where Doug and Dean are closing the door on Celia's freedom without a hint of remorse. As for Sanjay, the prospect of jail leaves one lingering thought: ''I'm gonna get raped and it's gonna make me hate being gay!'' But most shocking is that even little Isabelle is in on the conspiracy to nail her mom for the grow op. Indeed, Celia's prospects are looking grim with no amount of between-the-glass flirting getting her out of this jam.

Which leaves us with Guillermo, Nancy's new main man, at least in business (anyone wanna bet on whether she'll end up boning him?), who has some grandiose plans of his own. Nancy's responsibilities, however, are fairly straightforward. Look pretty for the border guards while you smuggle massive amounts of drugs inside the country. But no heroin, Nancy insists, prompting Guillermo to make perhaps the most incisive remark of the episode: ''You got some arbitrary rules you live by.''

Where do we go from here? Gangster-territory, where moving mota (Mexican term for marijuana and the name of an Offspring song — see page 97 of Pot Culture) is a source of livelihood for many a drug peddler (and the path to early retirement for a small few). Does Nancy have what it takes to bro-down with Guillermo and gang? Or will she soon crash and burn — again?
