The fourth season of Weeds continues to keep viewers on the edge of their seats.

The past seasons of Weeds focused on smaller dilemmas that Nancy and her family faced. For example her teenage son purposely getting his deaf girlfriend pregnant, followed by Nancy falling in love with a DEA agent. This season of Weeds has introduced more mature plot scenarios that venture out of the rather safe, suburban storyline it had previously followed.
