It's the middle of the night and Nancy is swimming. In someone else's pool. Completely naked. God I love this show. A light in the house comes on and a man calls out of his window but Nancy hides. She goes back into her house and sees Stevie slipping into Jill's bed. The next morning, she wants to take Stevie to the zoo by herself but Jill and Andy don't think it's a good idea. Meanwhile, in the bathroom, Shane tells Silas that one day marijuana will be legal but until then to keep his grow-house secret. Doug opens the front door to collect the paper but finds a massive shit on it. He blames the neighbour (Doug McKeon) and his "horse- dog" but the man denies it.
Nancy tells Shane that she still doesn't think the police academy is a good idea and she's just getting ready to leave for the zoo when Silas gets a call from Kiki (Kat Foster). She has a problem and wants to speak to Nancy. Turns out that she's with some dealers who want to sell her hash but she's not interested and they won't let her leave. Nancy gives Stevie to Jill and Andy and takes to save Kiki. Shane, meanwhile, is making out with Angela (Daniele Watts) and invites her to dinner. He tells her that she'd like his mom as they're both very intense.
Silas visits a garden centre and is awkwardly forward about what he needs the supplies for but meets R.J. (Dominic Dierkes), who works there. Nancy finds Kiki and discovers that Demetri won't sell to her any more so she's been forced to find alternative suppliers. They leave and track down Demetri (Pablo Schreiber), who is playing laser tag. Nancy is disorientated by the lasers and tells Demetri that she was shot in the head, asking him to sell to Kiki again. He agrees. Back at the house, Andy is cooking for the family meal that evening but Jill is concerned that he only cares about Nancy. Doug is having problems of his own too. He spray-painted the word "shitter" onto the neighbour's dog, who called the police. He's not broken any law but the cop tells him if he can get footage of the neighbour's dog shitting on his paper, the neighbour will get fined.
R.J. is visiting Silas' grow-house and they talk shop. Shane borrows a ladder to help Doug set up some cameras and when Silas tells R.J. that Shane is in the police academy, R.J. gets worried and tells him it's a bad idea. Nancy comes back to find Stevie fast asleep. At the meal, things are awkward but not uncomfortable until Nancy gives her speech. She prattles on for a while until she calls Stevie "Judah" and then things do get awkward. Jill and Andy argue and she tells him that they're done. The neighbour decides to pick this moment to take his revenge - throwing a bag of dog shit on the table.
Later that evening, Nancy is sat by herself and Andy comes over. She tells him that she had a "moment" at laser tag and now forgot her son's name. He tells her things will get better and leaves to sleep on the sofa. Stevie then comes over and tells her that he can't sleep. She has an idea and they both go and swim in the man's pool. He sees them and they wave at each other. The next morning, Doug finds another shit on the newspaper and reviews the camera footage. What he sees is himself sleep walking outside and then taking a dump on the newspaper.
When the episode opens with Nancy going skinny-dipping, you know it won't be half bad. She's forty-seven and she's got a body women half her age would be jealous of. Nancy's boobs and butt aside, it was a pretty decent episode. Doug's feud with the neighbour was hilarious and Angela's a decent enough new character. She isn't annoying yet, anyway, which is more than I can say for R.J. I hope he doesn't stick around too long because something about him just irritates me. The actor reminds me a little of D.J. Qualls and that's never a good thing. I think they're setting up to write Kiki (or is it Kiku?) out. She was barely in this episode and with Nancy turning away from her life of crime she'll probably disappear sooner or later.
Pretty good episode, the highlights being Doug (as usual) and Nancy's nude night-time dip.
7 out of 10.
