Episode Report Card Jacob Clifton: A+ | 1 USERS: A+ YOU GRADE IT Sins Of The Mother
By Jacob Clifton | Season 4 | Episode 7 | Aired on 07.28.2008
Nancy sucks down the end of her soda in the back of a limo, and when Esteban comes in she shares all her research with him. "Esteban Carlos Reyes. You come from money in Mexico City, attended Columbia University -- Go Lions -- in 1990 you bought the largest zoo in Mexico. Tragic story with the mauled panda, very upsetting. You moved to Tijuana in 1995 to build and manage a casino. You now own three malls and five hotels, all very highly rated on hotels.com, you'll be glad to know. In 2004 you were elected mayor and then you set up the Esteban Reyes Foundation which offers scholarships to underprivileged children and you once dated Liz Hurley." She smiles hugely. My dad has a saying in these times: "Fuck me? Fuck you."
He's amused and says he didn't really date Liz, they were just friends; Nancy wonders what didn't make it onto the "interweb" and they discuss their blood donations. He says she can't call him "Carlos," and she asks for a piece of the action. "There's a chain of command," he says, and she explains that she had to ignore that and fuck everything up because Guillermo is pissed at her. But, Esteban explains, he's right to be pissed at her for making trouble in the tunnel in the first place, and she still deserves to be punished. Ugh. She agrees, but not by Guillermo, and also can she have a bunch of weed? He responds by putting her over his knee and spanking her like crazy. She is ambiguous about this, because it's Nancy, and when he sits her back right-side-up, her hair is again like a lunatic's. "Thank you for your time, Mr. Mayor," she says, as the guys whip her out of the car.
I feel like we've already done the "punishment" thing, with Modine. I don't even understand what, at this point, Nancy feels the need to be punished for. All she's done so far is kill an old lady. Well, and pistol-whip a bitch. Okay, now that I'm thinking about it, she's kind of being a total shit here so maybe she needs a spanking. Because she was free and clear. "My cover business becomes my real business" was always the goal, and Guillermo basically handed that to her, and she fucked him over like five times and for what? Because she wanted an extra bathroom. She's putting her entire family -- all of whom are now fucking her by proxy, which is troubling in and of itself -- in extra super jeopardy, again, because... Doug has gas. It's the middle of the season, which means all of this is about to bite her in the face, but it's still sad.
