I should mention the sweet little moment that preceded the make-out session, where Andy suggested he and Nancy say ''thoughtful things about each other'' just in case they died that night. Finally, Nancy gave Andy some long-overdue praise for being a good person, stepping up for the kids, and making her laugh. Andy didn't exactly return the kind words, saving his thoughts for long-lost love Yael, but the suggestion was good enough, and hell, he makes us laugh, too, especially with lines like this one: ''Police moving drugs? It's so corrupt. We gotta move to Mexico!''

I counted eight sacks of weed dumped at Nancy's feet and was dumbfounded to see that all that can fit into a Prius, even with Andy knocked to the curb, scared, alone, and probably wondering whether there was something creepy about his kiss with Nancy, or the fact that they both seemed to enjoy it.

But while Nancy was dropping her cargo off, Silas was forced to make an unexpected pickup. His van, complete with a high-tech grow room, had been impounded. Fortunately for him, the garage attendants were a couple of stoners easily bought off to the tune of four ounces. Will Nancy's enterprise soon expand to Botwin and Son? Silas does ''have a gift,'' as several people have noted by now.

Looking to take advantage of the situation, Len, in the few hours that had passed between his first discovery of Nancy's business, had already concocted an elaborate plan that would solve all his problems. He could jet off to Paris for a poker tour, taking with him Nancy's $15,000 and charging her rent while waiting for the housing market to pick up. In his words: ''My mother dying was the best thing that ever happened to me.'' As for whether Len will be back later in the season, it would only take ''Not-Francie'' missing one payment for that to happen, and knowing how bad Nancy is at holding on to her profits, that's not out of the realm of possibility.

We were left with one final cliff-hanger of a scene: Celia being dragged by the hair into thug central. The expression on her face once she spotted Nancy standing a few feet away? Priceless.

But it looks like we're in for another wacky turn, folks. Nancy's ''promotion,'' Guillermo's cryptic instructions to meet at the outlet mall by the border, Doug's exile, and now Celia's second tour of duty with the Botwins could lead to a whole mess of entanglements, most of them sure to be illegal. How are you all feeling about the latest twists?
