Celia finds and destroys the entire harvest; U- Turn pays the mobsters to leave Nancy and him alone; Silas is arrested and sentenced to community service; Sanjay comes out of the closet, but U- Turn forces him to have sex with a woman who becomes pregnant with his child. During season three, Silas and Shane remain the same age, however, as the season proceeds Shane turns twelve. During the first half of the season, Nancy works to pay off her debt to U- Turn, owed because U- Turn saved her life, and because Celia destroyed an entire harvest. Nancy also gets a legitimate job working for Sullivan Groff, a crooked developer from the neighboring community of Majestic, and soon becomes his lover.

Since Showtime is a pay-for-view cable channel, the execs aren’t tied to the ratings like regular commercial channels. However, they still have to run programs that. Celia, who has also been intimate with Groff, resents Nancy for this. Silas begins selling pot for his mother using the alias Judah, and meets Tara, an evangelical Christian who enjoys smoking pot and helps him to sell it. Shane and Isabelle become outcasts at the heavily- religious Majestic summer school and form a friendship. As familial stress increases, Shane begins having conversations with his dead father and insists Judah is really there. Nancy gets called in by the DEA and is terrified that her arrest is imminent. It turns out that her marriage to Peter Scottson has been discovered, and a hefty life insurance payment awaits. At U- Turn's behest, Conrad and Heylia start a grow business. U- Turn sees talent in Nancy and trains her to be his lieutenant, while simultaneously starting a war with rival Mexican dealers. When U- Turn has a heart attack while jogging, Marvin suffocates him and becomes the new boss. Marvin then botches an attempted truce with the Mexicans, allowing Nancy to clear all debts for her and Conrad and end the gang war. Debt- free, but feeling lonely, Nancy attempts to befriend Peter's ex- wife, Valerie. The two bond over their troubled lives. Their friendship turns sour when Valerie demands Peter's life- insurance money. Valerie feels it is rightfully hers, due to her longer marriage to Peter and the child they had together. Nancy promises to give it to Valerie, but has to first use most of it to replace the money Doug . Despite receiving several payments, Valerie believes that Nancy will never give her the full amount, and also believes Nancy knows the location of Peter's hypothetical secret stash of cash. She hires a private investigator to trail Nancy. The investigator discovers Nancy is a drug dealer and blackmails her for most of the remaining life- insurance money, in exchange for not telling Valerie or the DEA. Nancy pays him, then ensures the investigator won't come after her again by blackmailing him for blackmailing her. Nancy confronts Valerie, telling her that she would have got the money, despite Nancy having no obligation to give it to her, but that now Nancy no longer has any money, thanks to the investigator Valerie hired. Meanwhile, the nearby community of Majestic has been attempting a hostile takeover of Agrestic, with Doug leading due to the large amount of money it would bring in. But Groff's gift—a new house in Majestic—to Celia leads to jealousy, and Doug begins sabotaging the Majestic city infrastructure, although it is already too late, as Celia puts it to a public referendum. To get back at Groff, Doug steals the giant cross from Majestic's megachurch, eventually putting it inside the grow house. Meanwhile, Dean has a motorcycle accident, which forces Celia to take care of him against her will. Heylia and Conrad are forced to move the grow operation and Nancy negotiates the use of Celia's off- the- books house in Majestic. Andy has a brief excursion into the pornographic film industry, at the same house, and later befriends a group of bikers while trying to score with one of its female members; they want him to start selling their weed. Nancy and Conrad become lovers while hanging out at the grow house, but Conrad realizes he has no future with her. Nancy turns to Guillermo—the leader of the Mexican dealers—to get protection when the bikers threaten her family after she refuses to sell their low- quality . Guillermo decides to burn down the bikers' marijuana field, causing a huge fire which spreads to the Agrestic area. At that time, thermal cameras spot the stolen cross and the DEA moves in. Nancy takes advantage of the fire and pours gasoline throughout her house and lights it with a match, ensuring that she and her family will be leaving and moving on, and there will be no evidence of their drug activities.

While Kohan is never one to plan upcoming storylines too far in advance, the showrunner who's at work on her upcoming Netflix original series Orange Is the New Black is unclear just how Weeds will end. The Hollywood Reporter caught up with Kohan to discuss how and when she found out about ending Weeds, how much the final season will resemble the show's early days - - the ! Was it your decision? Jenji Kohan: It wasn't really my decision. I think we're expensive; Showtime doesn't own us, Lionsgate TV does. I hope one of his new shows will be under my banner, too. But my show is from a former regime . And we got over 1. I'm very sad. Could you see Weeds going beyond Season 8? Did you have plans for Season 9? I never ever plan a year ahead ever because as far as I know and the show has gone, every year could be our last; we never really know. We were really a different show every year, so if we had gone on, we'd reinvent again. It certainly gets harder the longer you go on; you don't want to repeat yourself. It's a challenge (laughs). Did you know in November when the show was renewed that it would be its final season? We didn't know until we started writing and we got a call. It was quite respectful: . We don't want you to go out with whimper, we want you to go out with a bang, and we know that we're probably ending it, so take this time and figure it out.? Did you have to alter your initial trajectory for the season? It was early on. I spoke to David. Every year we come back and say, . I've got to figure it out and mull it. It did change how we talked about the season so far. We're building toward something different than we might have built toward had we been in the dark. Have you ever had an idea of what the final scene of the series would look like? No, I never think about the end. I tend to take it season by season because we've lived in that limbo for so many years where we don't know how it's going to end or if it's the last season or if we'll get picked up. How did Weeds help set the tone for the female anti- hero on TV? I'm really proud of what we've made, and I do think it was new and different. It was a new form of comedy- drama. My obsession when I wrote the pilot was with those gray areas and with people who weren't all good or all bad, heroes and villains - - flawed, complicated, human beings in all their glory. I wanted to write an outlaw show, and I got to write it; it was a dream come true. PHOTOS: THR'S Cover Shoot With the Stars of Showtime. How far along in writing the final season are you? We are shooting Episode 6, prepping 7, editing 4 and 5, breaking 1. It's a lot of balls in the air - - and I'm starting a new show at the same time, so I've got a new writers room downstairs on a new series. It's been absolutely bananas. I'm keeping my head down and working and trying to make it great. What were the conversations with Mary- Louise Parker like? Did you make the call? That did not come from me. We haven't talked about it. We keep saying we need to go to dinner, and the truth is we're busy and we haven't gone. I don't think we want to talk about it that much; I think we're both sad. Nurse Jackie has a similar anti- hero who after three seasons of getting away with everything, faced a lot of consequences under the guidance of David Nevins. Will Weeds change under his purview? No, he's been nothing but respectful and said, . Bob let us do our thing, too. That was the gift of Showtime in this whole experience: Once they felt that we had a plan and we were delivering something we both felt good about, they left us alone. It's the highest compliment. I think why I'm so sad and why I'm so afraid of letting it go is I know how rare this situation is; I know how lucky we were, and I don't know if it'll ever be this good again (laughs). It's very bittersweet. STORY: TCA: 'Real Possibility' That Season 8 of 'Weeds' Could be its Last. There was a time jump in last season's finale. Will there be a second jump this season as well? There's no time jump in the first episode; we pick right up where we left off - - pretty much (laughs). Over the course of subsequent episodes, we do skip ahead three to four months to get back to our lives. It's nothing crazy: They're all 9. And Nancy is the queen of it! Will it have a similar feel to the first year? We're back in a suburban community, and there are a lot of echoes of the first season in this final season that we're having fun with. Not Agrestic mentions, just similar things keep coming back into Nancy's life that existed when she was in her past bedroom community. Might there be some returning cast members, maybe Elizabeth Perkins (Celia)? Jeffrey Dean Morgan (Judah)? We would like to have some old faces back; it's just a matter of being able to make deals, and they're all up in the air right now. I'd love to see Elizabeth, Romany Malco (Conrad) back. I'd love to see Allie Grant (Isabelle), I doubt we'll get her because she has her network show now . I really have warm feelings toward all our characters that we've lost and I'd love to resurrect some, but I can't. Jeffrey Dean Morgan has ! We're back in a little box, so we thought it was appropriate to bring back . I don't know what we're going to pick yet, but I know we're going to use Ben Folds and the Mountain Goats, but those are the only two we've placed so far - - and Steve Martin and Kevin Nealon did a duet that we're going to use where they're singing and playing banjos. It's awesome. Have you decided who's going to perform the theme in the finale? Maybe I'll sadly sing into a microphone! No, that would be punishment for everyone! Is there a theme for the season? We will know who shot Nancy by the end of the first episode. It's a very spiritual season with a lot of big questions: Is there a God? Is there destiny in karma? There are a lot of big questions about the shape of the world and existence. It's getting a bit metaphysical and religious this season. A lot of the writers are starting to ask big questions - - we've been here for eight years, so we're all getting older. It's the natural evolution to get to those macro- concepts through these little stories. Everyone is exploring it in their own way; there's always the theme for Weeds of can people change, and so far the answer has been no, people don't change. But we're trying to ask that in a louder way this season. VIDEO: New 'Weeds' Season 8 Teaser Tracks Nancy's Wicked Ways. Might Andy's romantic feelings for Nancy be further explored this season? I think we've always explored that, it's been an ongoing theme. I think we owe it to our audience to try and work that out this season. Beyond Weeds, how does the Netflix process for Orange Is the New Black compare with Showtime? The Netflix process has been equally delightful; it's that level of trust that they've given me that I could not be more thrilled about. Their opening statement was: . Which is why I said if David doesn't want old Jenji, how about new Jenji (laughs). It's a show I wrote with . So there's that. And I did a bunch of projects this year, and we're developing some other things that I'm not ready to talk about. I'm a busy girl. What would you like to see in the final season? Weeds returns at 1.
