Wild & Entitled

Daredevil Girl heads inside. Audra's complaining to Crazy Gayle about her bad choices in men, and Gayle is pleading his troth hilariously -- "Let's wash the blood of the unborn off your hands and live together in the light of the Lord! We'll make babies! I have a trust fund!" -- and admitting he's off and on his antipsychotics for reasons of weight gain. Plus, you know, I'm sure it gets lonely when God stops telling you what to do and how you are His special friend. (Although on this show God would follow that up with, "But have you met Nancy Botwin? That girl, I tell you what." And then take a twenty out of your wallet and hand it over to her, just to be a dick.)

"Hey Audra? It's Nance! Just wondering if I could get a quick abortion?" Nancy knows how to make an entrance, for sure. I think that's my favorite line of the whole thing. Audra several times complains about how of course Andy called Nancy when things got hot, and Nancy unconvincingly tries several times to say that it's just a coincidence before going back to just demanding the van keys over and over. Andy finally comes in and starts fighting with Gayle, but of course in the end he misses the bear and Nancy still has to vanquish him. (Maybe I just like Andy better when Nancy's sucked his brain out? What a terrible thing to contemplate.)

While they're doing that, Silas and Shane discuss how they are constantly, constantly waiting on Nancy, and that in the final analysis it's mainly her complete self-absorption that causes this effect. "I'm not sure if it's pure ego or false bravado," says Shane, which is really canny of him because after all, that admits the possibility that she does this shit on purpose. And the whole tragedy and sort of mindbending horror of Nancy Botwin is the possibility -- which even she shies away from, and she's better at hating Nancy than any of us -- that on some level she knows what a dirty fucker she actually is.

"You know why I peed on her leg?" Silas asks, and Shane's hilariously like, "When?" But he also knows exactly why: Because he had to pee, and Nancy was ignoring him. Dick in hand. Shane is in a position now to understand that better than Silas ever did. Does Shane feel different, having killed? Not yet, he says. Which is, again, canny of him. Admitting the possibility. Silas, who is still almost loathe to touch him, says to let him know if Feelings actually show up. Going through the bags of stolen stuff, Shane finds a cock ring. It is uncomfortable.
