Weeds is an American black comedy-drama television series created by Jenji Kohan and produced by Lionsgate Television, which began airing on the Showtime cable television network in 2005. The show revolves around Nancy Botwin (Mary-Louise Parker), a widowed Southern Californian mother of two boys—Silas (Hunter Parrish) and the younger, Shane (Alexander Gould)—who turns to selling marijuana to support her family after her husband unexpectedly dies. Over the course of the show, Nancy becomes involved in illegal activities on an escalating scale. The title is a double entendre: it plays on the word "weed", a slang for cannabis, but also refers to "widow's weeds", the black garment worn by mourning widows.
On November 5, 2007, Showtime ordered 13 new episodes for a fourth season of Weeds. The fourth season started on Monday, June 16, 2008 and concluded on Monday, September 15, 2008. The season opener "Mother Thinks the Birds are After Her" was the last episode with "Little Boxes" as the theme song. The opening credits of subsequent episodes, after a recap of previous episodes, begin with a video title card unique to each episode. For the second episode of the season, for example, a highway sign reads "Weeds", "Created By", and "Jenji Kohan"—the embedded text used for all title cards since the show's inception. Each title card also has a prop or part of the setting morph into a marijuana leaf. In the highway sign example, a downward arrow designating a lane becomes a slightly larger pot leaf. In season 4, Silas was 17 and Shane was 13.
Having lost both her Agrestic grow house and her residential house in fires, Nancy relocates her family to the fictional California town of Ren Mar immediately north of the San Diego/Tijuana border. They move in with Andy and Judah's father in Ren Mar, while Guillermo has Nancy smuggle asthma inhalers over the border by car, but Nancy discovers that it was a dry run to test her abilities. Celia, in jail for being the official lessee of Nancy's burnt-down grow house, and implicated by all involved, bargains for her release in exchange for spying on Nancy. After Guillermo's men catch Celia spying, Nancy convinces them to spare Celia's life. Andy enters a coyote partnership with Doug, who has recently moved to Ren-Mar to evade questions about Agrestic's finances. Isabelle, unenthusiastic about moving with her father to Detroit, pesters her mother Celia until she agrees to let her live with her in Ren Mar. Silas sets up a grow room in the rear of a gourmet cheese shop owned by his new ten-year-old neighbor's mom. She is an attractive woman, who is in her thirties, and despite being aware that Silas is underage, consummates their business and sexual relationships. After revealing that her interest is purely financial and physical, a heartbroken Silas spurns her advances and ends their business relationship. Meanwhile, at his new school, 13-year-old Shane attacks without provocation the most popular boy at school and acquires a fearsome reputation, attracting the admiring attention of Simone and Harmony, two of the more dangerous girls at school, to whom Shane loses his virginity in a threesome.
Guillermo's as-yet-unidentified boss sets up Nancy in a maternity store in a San Ysidro mall, through which she thinks she can launder money. But in the back of the store Nancy finds an underground tunnel opening, and is told it is exclusively an endpoint for transporting marijuana from Tijuana. But Nancy later learns that it is used for smuggling other controlled substances as well as guns and apparently trafficking in women for what looks to be unwilling prostitution. A shocked Nancy informs DEA Captain Roy Till of the tunnel despite an ongoing sexual relationship with Guillermo's crime boss Esteban Reyes (Demián Bichir), who is also Mayor of Tijuana. The resulting DEA raid and shootout at the maternity shop ends with most of the Mexican drug runners arrested.
While working at Nancy's store, Celia's polysubstance abuse disorder is worsened by the easy availability of drugs from the back of the store. Isabelle and Dean stage an intervention leading Celia to embrace rehab and vowing to make amends to her family. Dean rejects her apology and insists that she apologizes directly to her oldest daughter, Quinn, whom Celia sent during the show's first episode to Casa Reforma, a Mexican boarding school. Since graduation, Quinn has been living with a Mexican revolutionary, Rudolfo. Celia agrees to travel south to make amends, but upon her arrival, an unforgiving and violent Quinn has her drugged and captured. Quinn plans to ransom her mother for $200,000, telling Rudolfo she would give none of the money to his "faggy revolution", but would instead move to Belize.
In the season finale, Esteban discovers that it was Nancy who had alerted the DEA to his smuggling tunnel, and he captures her—probably to be followed by killing her as a lesson to others. But he lets her live after she tells him that she is pregnant with his child, and that it's likely to be a boy (he has only daughters.) At home, Shane steals Silas' weed and, with Simone and Harmony, begins selling it to classmates at school. Doug had fallen for an illegal alien he names "Mermex" as she unsuccessfully tried to enter the United States by beach. After much searching, Doug locates her and uses his coyote enterprise to get her into California. Instead of gratefully rewarding Doug's efforts, Mermex is repelled by his unapologetic nature and his genital warts. She instead falls in love and sleeps with his Coyote partner Andy, who has become a folk hero known as "El Andy". Scorned and hurt, Doug turns Mermex into immigration. Realizing that poverty denies those pursuing anything of any money, Doug writes his estranged wife, daring her to take him to court in a pseudo-suicidal note, and then prepares to hang himself. Andy wonders if he is in love with Nancy and questions why he has stayed with the family for so long.
