Synopsis:

A "cowboy capitalist" moseys into town with a tasty offer for Silas; and rumors spread about Rabbi Dave having an amorous encounter with a nonmember of the synagogue.

Forgot to make this last night.

4 more episodes left until it's done for good.

Wow what a terribly stereotypical and totally inaccurate portrayal of North Carolina, and especially Durham.

Andy getting hitched to a waitress he met hours ago is evidence the writers had no idea how to wrap up Andy's story. At least she's cute.

The relationship between Shane and the black girl feels forced. No chemistry between the two.

I just watched the episode before this one the other day.

You can so clearly tell they have no idea what to do this season.

Just get Nancy naked again.

Honestly, even a half hour of her skinny-dipping in the pool would be better than this.

At least there is still some humor in Doug's world. Although that it pretty ridiculous as well.

It's beyond that, they strung Andy along for many seasons (and Doug especially). Since he help grew weed in Agrestic, he's been just jumping jobs... food caterer, porn star, coyote, hotel laborer, chef, bike shop owner, and whatever the hell he's doing now. And he gets mixed up in all sorts of shit that really doesn't do much for the overall storyline.

That seemed to be the case since Season 4.

It's like the writers have been making shit up as they go along for 5 seasons. Doesn't seem like they have anything planned/written beyond a few episodes and no grand plan.

What was the point of Doug's sleepwalking/shitting storyline? Silas has a job at that company for only one episode? Just a mish-mash of crap.

Soooo grateful the show will be over soon.

The upsetting thing is the dramatic downfall of quality between seasons 1 - 3 and the rest of the series. Alas, I only have myself to blame for sticking around.

I think we can all agree that this show is a hulking, abusive husband, and we're the clueless wives who stick around despite knowing it won't get any better.

At least it's dying this year.

Btw, finally got through this episode... yep, terrible. Total shit. How do you even edit something so incoherent?

Has there ever been a main female character in a show as slutty and damaged as Nancy?
