And speaking of crazy plans, guess where Nancy's dragged Marvin? Over to Heylia's house, where it's tense as ever. Marvin chows down on pie while they discuss the situation. Heylia offers that she should have killed Nancy when she had the chance, which gives Nancy the entrée to accuse Heylia of bringing this whole situation about in the first place, by making the Armenian deal even though Nancy thought she had her bases covered. She demands Heylia get all her pot together and take it to U-Turn in return. Not liking her tone, Heylia drops her ass to the floor with a well-timed slap. Nancy trips her up and they go down, slapping and biting and shouting. Vaneeta sends Marvin in, but he gets a kick to the gut. He shouts at them to chill, reminding everybody that Conrad is going to die if they don't work this out. Heylia grabs a gigantic knife, causing Nancy to wilt like so much milfweed in the microwave, and starts cutting into a pale green La-Z-Boy, where she's stashed a bunch of cash. She loads it all up and then screams at Nancy and Marvin to get going back to the grow house.
Celia, having bathed and sobered up, finds Isabelle and Dean eating their ice cream and hatefully ignoring her altogether. She takes off without even getting a goodbye from them; on the news, they're talking about the Amber Alert, even though Shane's already been found.
The suspicious NASCAR couple watches bloody Andy get some chocolate milk before heading back to the station to pick up Shane. They menace and grill him about the Amber Alert, and he tries explaining how he called it in, then found the van abandoned when they picked Shane up. Andy swears that he's on the way to pick up the kid and doesn't have him stashed in the van or anything, but they don't believe him. They promise to call the cops and double-check...but only after they beat the crap out of him. You know, if you'd asked me a year ago how I'd feel about two solid episodes where Andy Botwin drives around getting the hell beat out of him, I'd have applauded and then asked when that smokin' Israeli chick was coming back. But now?
