Plot Overview

Nancy and Conrad go to the grow house on the day after the big drug bust. They find Sanjay and Andy in separate closets; Andy urinated on the mother plant during the night. Conrad wonders how four grow houses around them got busted but they weren't touched.

Isabelle starts off her modeling career. Celia gets kicked out of the studio for criticizing the hair and makeup people. Isabelle goes to Doug hoping he will be her accountant. Doug tells her that they need a parent's signature; she picks Dean. Celia finds out and goes to Doug with pictures of him using a bong and blackmails him for changing the signature, but he tells her that it was Isabelle's idea.

Silas won't come out of his room since finding out that Megan got an abortion. He finally comes out after Andy suggests to Nancy that she buy him a car. They go car shopping and talk about Nancy's business. Later he tells her that he's fine with what she does.

Nancy arranges a meeting with Peter and Conrad because Conrad became concerned that he wasn't protected in Nancy and Peter's marital arrangement. Though both are distrustful of the other, Peter says that if they don't expand past the grow house and sell only to the medical marijuana community, they will be left alone.
