[edit] Plot Summary
Nancy has Megan take a pregnancy test to confirm she is pregnant. After the confirmation, Megan feels she should tell her parents by herself. That night, she receives a long list of baby name suggestions from Silas, which she deletes from her computer.
Nancy meets Peter for lunch, and finally admits to him that not only is she still a dealer, but also a grower, and wants Peter's help by getting rid of her competition, the Armenian drug cartels that live in the neighborhood where her grow house is located. Peter, depressed and feeling betrayed, walks out.
Dean takes Isabelle to a tryout to be a plus-size children's clothing model while waiting for Celia. Celia arrives as Isabelle is doing her audition. She gets the part right as Celia walks in to take her out of the audition stage. Dean leaves to help prepare Doug for his rally speech.
Shane gets into trouble after the principal overhears him having a conversation in the library where he tells his friends that Andy took him to get a handjob. Believing it was child abuse, the principal calls in Andy to have a talk with him. Andy lies and convinces the principal Shane made up the story to impress his friends.
Nancy gets a call from Silas, who is shaken up. Nancy arrives and finds Silas sitting on the curb in front of Megan's house with a bloody nose. Silas tells Nancy that it was Megan's father who hit him. Nancy confronts Megan's father, who tells her Silas had broken a window and stabbed him when he wouldn't let Silas see Megan. Silas persists that he was there to see Megan, who hasn't been in school for two days and whose parents took her to an abortion clinic. Nancy threatens Megan's father, and drives off with Silas in tow.
Meanwhile, late at night, Sanjay spots the DEA agents outside the grow house as he is leaving for the night. With Andy's help, thinking their house is getting raided, they proceed to attempt to flush the plants. The show ends with Peter Scottson getting a surprise gift for Nancy, the arrest of the Armenian drug cartel living in her neighborhood. He ends by calling her "Mrs. Scottson"
