As the third episode of Showtime's Weeds opens, Agrestic is being terrorized by a wild cougar which Shane (Alexander Gould) has taken it upon itself to trap and shoot with his BB gun. Silas (Hunter Parrish) puts a clumsy move on the rumor-plagued deaf girl, Megan (Shoshannah Stern), who makes known her lack of interest with a can of spray paint. At the Hodes house, Celia (Elizabeth Perkins) accuses young Isabelle (Allie Grant), who has been placed on a strict diet, of sneaking food. Celia goes to abusive extremes to curb this behavior, surreptitiously replacing the girl's chocolate stash with a chocolate-flavored laxative. This leads to an extremely embarrassing incident in school, and when Isabelle learns that her own mother was responsible, she takes a very fitting revenge. Nancy's (Mary-Louise Parker) budding business has been suffering and Doug (Kevin Nealon) lets her know why -- medical marijuana. There's a perfectly legal, cheap, and well-stocked supplier in the city, run by the effusive Craig X (Craig X Rubin), and all his clients need is a prescription. After a visit to this "weed boutique, " which Nancy refers to as "the Whole Foods of pot," she realizes that Heylia (Tonye Patano) and company have been selling her skank weed. With a little help from Conrad (Romany Malco), Nancy learns just what strains of marijuana to order, and how to cook them down into some delicious baked goods and candy. ~ Josh Ralske, All Movie Guide
