And unlike Hill, theyre oblivious to its ominous presence.

So while it may be sunny southern California outside, indoors is anything but, as episode 3 proved.

She wants out, Andy blurted to all who would listen, taking the lead on the euthanasia subplot.

Albert Brooks, Weeds, …

Another character desperately wanting out?

Celia, who sat down with the man who holds her freedom in his hands.

Celias laughable flirtation with said police officer notwithstanding, it sure beats being a jailhouse Cheetah Girl.

It seems Nancys last border run was rife with rookie mistakes.

Guillermos expert advice went something like this: less coffee, more J.

Crew, and always be one step ahead.

He really does have a way with words, that Guillermo.

After all, Shane is the one who talks to dead people, Silas noted.

For Andy, it was a rare moment of profound introspection.

What she didnt expect, however, was the extra cargo one semilegal alien with a criminal record.

Hey, at least its not heroin.

Would you wanna kill your mom?

Turns out Bubbie also killed his dog two of them!

When Shane reached to yank the respirator cord, he couldnt go through with it.

Lets hope not, but at least these two provided some much-needed comic relief to this somber episode.

Only one problem: She was still breathing.

Nothing a little suffocation cant take care of.

Shane, get Mommy a pillow.

With Albert Brooks committed to only four episodes, are we nearing the end of this story arc?

And what did you think of the shows new beginning, sans theme song?
