[edit] Plot
Episode 3 of the second season of Weeds, titled "Last Tango in Agrestic" picks up right where episode 2 left off with Nancy vomiting in response to Peter telling her that he knows she is a Drug Dealer. Peter suggests that they talk in his truck where he explains to Nancy that a "suburban widow dealing dime bags to bored housewives" is way below his radar. He likes to flatter himself in thinking he has better things to do. So Nancy and Peter decide to discuss the recent change of events over a bottle of wine. Peter explains that he has known she was a dealer from the time they first met. He had already "investigated" her, and knew many things about her including the name of her sister, Jill. Nancy, still uneasy, asks if talking over dinner is just a setup. Peter jokes back that that is how he "took down the Santiago brothers", and then explains that he is only interested in having a working relationship with Nancy. Later in the episode, Peter and Nancy fly to Las Vegas, Nevada to secretly be married. Peter marries Nancy so that he cannot be forced to testify against her, and in turn, she will trust him enough to date him.
Celia, always worried about her daughter's weight, rudely wakes her daughter Isabelle at 5:30AM proclaiming "Rise and shine little girl... Boot camp is at 6:00." Isabelle, unpleased, goes along with Celia to "boot camp" which is an early morning exercise group which meets at a local park. Celia informs Isabelle that she will be "waiting in the car." While thumbing through a magazine, and smoking a cigarette in her car, the exercise instructor, Ricardo, asks Celia to join the group. Celia rudely denies his request, but ends out participating when the instructor informs her that he is aware she is running for city council. Celia soon collapses, and proclaims "He bullied me into this." Looking for sympathy, she explains that she has gone through chemotherapy, and has low blood sugar. Much to her dismay, many of the other ladies in the group have also undergone chemotherapy, and have types 1, and 2 diabetes. Celia responds by saying "Oh, fuck you both." The women inform Isabelle that she shouldn't worry, and that her mother will be just fine. Isabelle replies by saying "Please, that bitch will outlive us all." Needless to say, Celia drops out of the group.
Andy begin his studies at the Rabbinical school, and continues to make romantic advances towards Yael, the admissions director. Yael explains that she had a lover who was killed by a Hamas suicide bomber. He was her Commanding officer in the Israeli army. Yael explains that she does not date students of the school.
Upon her return from Las Vegas, Andy, Shane and Silas all question Nancy as to where she has been and what she has been doing. Nancy keeps her little secret, although seeming flustered.
Silas gets back together with Megan, and they agree to remain together until they both must go on to college. They immediately have sex in Silas' room using a total of at least 7 condoms. They begin with Silas having sex with her on the bed, then having sex on the floor, they continue with anal sex, then her riding him on a chair as he's moaning and coming to a climax, and then having sex against the wall, finally ending in the shower, where due to clogged pipes the shower will not turn on. The pipes are clogged because Shane is flushing his socks down the toilet. A plumber Nancy hired discovered the socks, and suggests that a young son may be flushing his "jerk socks." After conferring with Lupita, Nancy decides to talk with Shane who does not appreciate discussing the "changes" his body is going through. Nancy feeling awkward about the discussion asks Andy to "talk to Shane about jerking off."
As Andy is talking with Shane, Nancy, Conrad, and Doug visit a prospective house to use for their grow house. It is in a gated community, and meets their needs exactly. The deal is made and the future grow house is secured. After securing the deal, Dean walks in and suddenly realizes who Conrad is. "You fucked my wife." Dean says. Conrad concedes, and offers Dean one free shot. Dean agrees, but demands that his free punch be exercised at his discretion.
Meanwhile, Nancy's dealer Heylia takes a romantic interest in a man named Joseph who cooks bean pies and sells them for $8.00 each. Heylia acts extremely flirtatious around Joseph. Joseph is a bowtie wearing gentleman with a guarded animosity towards Nancy and Vaneeta.
Considering the amount of time they have left together, Silas uses a safety pin to pierce a condom which he later uses while having sex with Megan. Meanwhile, Celia comes to talk to Nancy in hopes of recruiting Nancy for her campaign. Humorously, Celia explains that she pulled a muscle in her groin while exercising.
