Episode Report Card Joe R: B | 0 USERS: N/A YOU GRADE IT He Taught Me How To Drive By
By Joe R | Season 3 | Episode 7 | Aired on 2007.09.24
Conrad and Nancy meet in her car, tension still thick in the air between them. He's still pissed at her for fucking up the Armenian deal, and she's still pissed at him for allowing her to become U-Turn's indentured bitch. He admits-without-admitting that he was behind Marvin getting shot, the better to ignite a gang war that would kill everyone else and leave Conrad and Nancy freed from their debt. He seriously tells her not to go to the meeting with the Mexicans. Nancy thaws a bit at being able to talk to her friend again and apologizes for knocking over Conrad's plants.
At home, Shane won't stop bitching to his mom about the right-wing crazy school he has to attend, but I'm thinking once he gets to "pedagogy," his argument is already lost. Nancy enters the kitchen to find Silas and Tara, and Shane wastes no time in ratting them out for spending last night together. Nancy tells Silas she's not going to go through the whole mom-lets-son-have-sex-in-her-home thing; "Not after Megan and Quinn." Considering how oblivious Nancy can be, I have to give her credit for at least recognizing the pattern here. Tara, however, assures Nancy that she's a virgin: "I honor God with my abstinence, until the day I join my husband in marriage." Shane starts to freak that the fundies are everywhere, like he's in Invasion Of The Body-Snatchers, but Nancy's in a much more "making the crazy work for you" frame of mind, and she encourages Tara to "keep savin' it for the Lord!" Shane and Tara get into a "debate" on evolution, insofar as that "debate" can include the statement "that's why they call it the 'theory' of evolution, not the 'fact' of evolution." Perhaps realizing that all this talk of teen sex, virginity, and monkeys has gone on for about five minutes without somebody saying something truly disgusting, Nancy wonders where Andy could be.
