Lupita's search for bud continues, unsuccessfully, in the bedroom. Shane's still a ball of energy, and he asks her if she wants to build a pillow fort. Figuring if she hasn't found it by now, it's not there to be found, Lupita goes off to find more pillows. And it's there, inside one of the pillows from the closet, that Lupita finds a big bag o' weed.
Andy's convinced Sharon to come over (or to let him come to her place, it's tough to tell), and he spins a bullshit yarn about his ex (Valerie or Veronica, he can't keep the name straight) and how they had dynamite sex while high. Sharon falls for it (moron) and says she gets it: she can only climax if she's high.
Outside the club, Nancy spots Celia and Conrad doing it in the back of an SUV. This triggers a Sexy Time montage, where we cut from Celia and Conrad in the car to Andy taking Sharon from behind to Silas and Megan having sex by candlelight.
Much later, Andy's laughing his ass off at Shane's terrorist video and tries to show it to Nancy, and she finally, finally takes three seconds to pay attention to the weird-ass shit her kid's been up to. Nancy tallies up the mountain lion thing and the gangsta rap thing and now this and wonders what the hell she's supposed to do with Shane. Andy reassures her that this is just what little boys do, especially when they want attention. Though I'm not sure Nancy should be comforted by the fact that Andy did similarly fucked-up things in his youth. Because...Andy. Look how he turned out. Anyway, as Nancy's heading for the stairs, Lupita passes by, hands her the incriminating pillow, and cheerfully requests a raise. Heh.
Nancy finds Shane buried in pillows up in her bedroom. She tells him she saw his video, and he peeks his head out. "And?" he asks, clearly thinking he's about to get punished. "And the infidels are ready to meet your demands," Nancy smiles. And then Shane smiles. And then I smile. And tell you all to shut up.
Post-coital, Silas and Megan stare at each other for a while, and then Silas signs "I love you to her." "You fucking better," Megan says -- says! -- to him.
Finally, Nancy sits next to her bed and watched a video she and Judah had made of them having sex. It is, I am not ashamed to admit, quite hot. Nancy watches, and she smiles, and she cries, and she misses him. And then she turns it off. It's the last we'll see of Judah Botwin on this show.
