Weeds - Nancy vs. Silas' MILF (S4E9) | Movieclips
Movieclips has pulled out a Weeds encounter in which Nancy Botwin arrives at a cheese shop and finds considerably more to object to than the merchandise. Mary-Louise Parker's Nancy discovers her son Silas growing cannabis in the back room, with shop owner Lisa, played by Julie Bowen, involved in both his business and his personal life.
The clip has drawn about 126,000 views in half a day, already many times the channel's usual full-day audience for a short upload. It comes from "Little Boats," a fourth-season episode first aired in 2008, rather than a new installment of the series.
What makes the exchange distinctly Nancy is where she starts. Before confronting Lisa about her relationship with Silas, she offers suggestions for concealing the growing operation. She can spot the business problems immediately; separating those from her objections as a mother takes a little longer.
Hunter Parrish's Silas insists he knows what he is doing. Nancy's response reduces his entrepreneurial confidence to the awkward reality of growing pot with his girlfriend in a cheese shop.
Movieclips has posted several scenes from the same episode, including another unusually fast-starting exchange between Nancy and Esteban, played by Demián Bichir. Here, though, the setting keeps the confrontation pointedly domestic: Lisa introduces herself as a mother, only to discover that the waiting customer is Silas' mother.
