In the library, the Confederacy of Douches is congratulating Shane: "You took down HODES." As if that wasn't bad enough, Gretchen taps him on the shoulder: "That was awesome!" Everyone on either side of the gender divide is abuzz at this brazen declaration.
Jewellery store. Nancy is looking at diamonds, assisted by Max, a salesclerk played by the great Dan Bucatinsky. Speaking in the typical hushed, respectful tones you hear in a jewellery store -- we're buying accessories, not going to church! -- Max pulls out "the diamond blossom," what I think is a rather adorable ring (it has little flowers, and is almost more like a finger clip than a ring, in that it doesn't actually close the circle), droning that the right-hand ring is "a symbol of independence and personal reward." Nancy says that she does deserve a reward, since she has done very well lately. "How well?" asks Max frankly. By way of answer, Nancy pulls a huge wad of bills out of her pocket and lays it on the counter. Max: "Okay, take off that piece of shit. I've got some jewellery to sell you." Ha! Regular character! Spin-off! More Max!
Shopping montage! (That's what the Max spin-off could be called.) Nancy buys jewellery, books, perfume, a Prada bag, and finally a Prius. As she pulls into the driveway, she accidentally crushes Shane's RC car under her front wheel. She apologizes, saying that she's not used to driving so low to the ground. Shane whines that he liked the Range Rover. Nancy makes all the usual anti-SUV arguments, but Shane is unmoved: "Global warming's just God's will! I liked the Range Rover; this car is gay." Hee. As they're talking, Nancy's unloading like eighty bags out of her trunk. Maybe if she's going to make the point that she's such an environmentalist, she could have declined a bag in one or two of the stores she shopped in, putting shit in a shopping bag she already had? Though I guess part of the point is to have the store bags for status purposes. Anyway, Shane asks what's up with all the shopping, and Nancy says that she works hard and deserves it. Shane reminds her that she doesn't have a job, and Nancy sniffs, "I run a family." Yeah, and you're doing a heck of a job. Shane asks whether she got him anything. Nancy asks whether he really thinks he deserves anything after what he did today; Dodge called Nancy about Celia's speech. Shane says that he was making a point: he thinks drugs should be legal, so that nobody gets into trouble. She leans down and, as both of them are careful not to say what they are really talking about, she says that no one's going to get into trouble. She pulls a bill out of her bra and tells Shane to go get himself a new car. Hey, Nancy -- I can be bought too.
