Episode Guide - Season 6, Episode 8
After finding a new RV, Doug, Nancy and her family reach Pioneer Town, a former western movie set. While her family tries to set up a mobile hash making shop inside the RV, Nancy starts looking for customers.
10/11/10.

Andy takes the wheel of the Botwins’ new motor home and brings them to a frontier town movie set in the “Gentle Puppies” episode of WEEDS. I had the chance to watch the episode early and I have to wonder what’s in the air lately. Glee, Modern Family, and Community tackled religion last week and now Weeds has its own, wackier, take.

This feels like another mainly filler episode, but with more wacky Andy hijinks. I tend to like Andy’s schemes anyway and this one goes just enough over the top to make me laugh. Nancy grates on my nerves more than usual this episode and I wish the writers could find a real use for Doug, but there are some funny moments in the midst of the malaise that seems to be taking over our road-weary crew.

If you enjoyed the Shane-Nancy scenes last week, you should be happy to hear they get some more one-on-one time in “Gentle Puppies,” and while it isn’t quite as touching as last week, it is meaningful, and I almost wish Nancy would listen to Shane and do what he suggests.

Silas doesn’t have a lot to do in “Gentle Puppies,” but no joke, he’s really starting to break my heart. Where he was once a delinquent, he now just longs for an ordinary life that gets farther away the longer the Botwins stay on the road, and with one simple line (incredibly well-read by Hunter Parrish), his pain is palpable. If any of the Botwins get anything resembling a happy ending when Weeds finally closes up shop, I want it to be Silas.

Andy is driving the new motor home when he’s pulled over for speeding and he apparently takes the cop’s out of nowhere question as a sign from God that he’s found his latest money-making scheme. It’s one that oddly and hilariously suits him.
