Nancy has been brought out of her medically-induced coma and is on the road to recovery but it's not been a cheap one. After 77 days in hospital, her bill stands at $420,770.12. She does have a new roommate, though. One who tells her that her story has been going around and has apparently become embellished to say that she's been mixed up with the Italian Mafia (as opposed to the Mexicans) who have killed her whole family in horrible ways. Shane comes to see her and they take a walk through the halls. He has drawn a map of people who might want her dead. Her doctor (Stoney Westmoreland) tells her that if she can walk up the stairs, he'll discharge her. She tries to do so, telling Shane to stop looking for the shooter. He refuses, worries that he will come back but Nancy tells him that he won't, that he regrets it. She can't make it up the stairs and resolves to try again later.
At Jill's house, Andy and Jill are interrupted by her ex-husband, Scott (Mel Fair). He's back from India and wants to have dinner with Jill to talk about things. He leaves and Andy tells Jill to just have dinner with him and hear him out.
Nancy makes the rounds with Shane, delivering snacks and alcohol to her friends on the ward. They then visit Butters the Clown (Billy Merritt), who sells weed lollipops at massively inflated prices. Nancy wonders if she was a "gougey douche" as well and tells Shane that she was a bad person and doesn't want to be like that any more. She dubs the family the "after Botwins" and sends Shane to buy some lollipops.
Doug and his friend Whit Tillerman (Bruce Nozick) are still running the weed-dealing business in New York City. Silas meanwhile is with Kiki (Kat Foster), who is tied up over a bench and clad in leather. She tells him that his "uncles" Doug and Whit have been dipping into the weed supply and they have to stop. She also tells him that she's running low and needs Nancy to grow more. Silas isn't interested and spanks her until he gets a call from his mom. He tells her he can be there in a couple of hours and Kiki laughs from behind her ball gag.
Shane is at the academy, talking to fellow trainee Angela Mullen (Daniele Watts) before a session on the obstacle course. They talk about what happens to kids who lose their father and how most of them end up "off the rails".
Silas has made some extra-strength weed cookies for Nancy, who is bagging them up in fancy packages. She chastises him for thinking like "before Silas" for asking how much they will charge. She intends to give them out pro bono to the sick people on the ward.
Jill is getting ready to go out with Scott. Andy tells her to flaunt it and think of what's best for her kids. Back in the hospital, the patients are enjoying Nancy's cookies. That night, she gets a visit from Butters who tells her to back off. Andy, meanwhile, walks in on the twins packing. He's confused but they explain that every time their parents split up, they have dinner and end up getting back together. Andy dismisses them but looks worried.
Back at the hotel, Nancy pays a visit to the clown and plays up her supposed "Mafia connections" and tells him that after she leaves, he can no longer charge hospital patients for weed. At dinner, Scott is reading a pre-prepared speech to Jill who is not paying attention when Andy shows up and gesticulates behind Scott. They slip off to the bathroom to have sex. Andy tells her not to leave him and Scott walks in on them, telling her that he doesn't want her back and storming out as they go back to having sex.
At the hospital, Nancy makes it to the top of the stairs and is released, reminding Butters what she told him earlier. At the academy, Shane is looking at Tim Scottson's Facebook profile with a grin on his face.
So, Nancy's out of the hospital and Shane knows who tried to kill her. She has apparently had an epiphany and wants to do good. Well, as much good as a drug dealer can. I liked Jill and Andy's scenes in this episode but we could have used more Doug, I felt. Nice to see Kiki back, too. Even nicer to see her getting spanked. Nancy's "Mafia connections" were pretty funny but overall this episode wasn't anything special.
6 out of 10.
