Episode Report Card Joe R: B | 0 USERS: N/A YOU GRADE IT The Two Mrs. Scottsons
By Joe R | Season 3 | Episode 8 | Aired on September 30, 2007
Previously: Hey, remember how Nancy got involved with Peter the DEA Agent, and Peter had a son, Tim? And also remember how Andy got his toes bitten off by a dog so now his foot is all deformed? And also remember how Celia had cancer and "the puppies [were] comin' off"? All three of those things are mentioned in the previouslies, and will thus be appearing in this episode, which I guess makes this Continuity Week here at Showtime.
So last week, Agent Wonder Bread's dead body surfaced in a ditch, and now Peter's ex-partner Agent Fundas is answering questions from his superior. Fundas keeps belching, because remember how that's his one character trait? Anyway, the Captain is a grumpy sort of person, though on this particular occasion he's got a reason. He produces a pair of dossiers from Internal Affairs on both Fundas and Peter which say that they were running a dirty, dirty operation. Angry Captain's solution is that Fundas will be taking an early retirement, Peter will be buried as a hero, and this whole thing will be swept under the rug. Which is pretty great news for Nancy!
Speaking of our favorite overwhelmed mother/dealer, Nancy observes Peter's funeral from a distance, making particular note of Peter's son, Tim, and his ex-wife, played by Brooke Smith who is just all over my TV this week. That's a good thing. Brooke's chewing gum all blasé while Peter's coffin is being lowered into the ground, so now I like the character almost as much as I like the actress. Nancy takes a call from Sullivan while she's there -- he's utterly clueless about what's going on in Nancy's life, he just wants to talk dirty to her.
