- Nancy has relocated to the border in search of a new life but she soon finds her past to be inescapable. Both problems and people follow her on her journey, but some have finally been left behind.
- "Change" is the name of the game for everyone in the 4th Season Opener as the Botwin family, homeless since their beloved town of Majestic has burned down, hits the road in search of a new place to call home and of course, grow Weed. Their leaving is right on time, as relentless DEA Capt. Roy Till continues to hunt for whomever is responsible for the temporary grow house, now abandoned by Conrad and Heylia. With all the real players gone, everyone fingers Celia as the culprit, but she points to Nancy; the family heads to Ren Mar, where Andy's grandmother lives, but no one is happy to learn Andy's father is in charge; Guillermo offers Nancy a new opportunity in a much riskier end of the drug business.—Alarmanwp
- Suburban Majestic has burned to the ground and Celia Hodes is being interrogated by DEA Agent Roy Till. Celia confirms that she got the house from Sullivan Groff, but says they should be talking to Nancy.
On the road, Nancy is taking the kids and Andy to see Bubbie, the kids great-grandmother. Everyone thinks mom's car smells like gas (probably because she doused their house in it).
She ignores them for a while. Then she blurts out that she spilled gas on herself when she was pouring it on the furniture. Her family looks at her like she's someone who just admitted to arson, which she is.
Meanwhile, Celia is singing like a bird to the DEA, naming Helia and Conrad. "I don't know their last names, but they were black," she tells Roy. Celia wants to go home, to either home. The one with the grow house or the idiot disabled ex-husband. Which ever one hasn't burned down. But instead the DEA guy says she'll be staying.
Shane is mad at his mom for burning their house down, until she tells him she got all the photo albums. They're sitting outside a house by the beach. No one's home, but they hear a dog barking. Rad the neighbor kid tells them she doesn't have a dog, it's her doorbell. He says she's probably in there, she never answers the door.
Andy and Shane break in. Shane opens the door, disturbed. He tells them they can't stay here.
Back at burning Majestic, Doug and Dean smoke up outside the shelter as ash rains from the sky. They make plans to live together. A DEA agent shows up.
Back at Bubbie's house, they find her hooked up to machines and unconscious. Silas calls to learn that the nurse was fired a month ago by a male relative.
Andy is not pleased. Nancy says maybe it's someone else, not whoever Andy is thinking of. They do an inventory of the house. The World Poker Tour is on and the shelves are suspiciously free of tchotchkes. A box of Franzia wine confirms Andy's fears.
A man's voice starts yelling. Andy says hi to his dad.
Meanwhile, Doug and Dean, stoned out of their minds, wait in the DEA lobby with Isabelle and Sanjay, who is worried that going to jail and getting raped will make him hate being gay. Isabelle tells them to get their story straight. "You know the name, use it."
They all name Celia. Doug says it couldn't have been Nancy, she has two kids and was married to a DEA agent. Sanjay says he knows one Nancy, but her name used to be Vince.
At Bubbie's house, Len talks about "Francie," the woman Judah should have married, making Nancy feel right at home. Nancy brings out the food Andy brought for her earlier. Something German. Len objects.
"You're sitting in my mother's living room, eating German food and smelling like gas. She was at Auschwitz for Christ's sake! What kind of a monster are you?" he says. They review that Judah stopped talking to his family because Len would only refer to her as "not-Francie" and that the one time they brought Silas down there and he had eczema Len said it was because Judah had "watered down the gene pool."
Nancy doesn't want to stay in a hotel and leave a paper trail. "That at least I can wrap my head around," Len says. He assumes its Andy's fault, who he always treated poorly. He calls him "not-Judah." "I'm just not sure you're mine, and I want to keep a distance," he says.
Celia tries to get out of being sent to jail. It's not going well.
Andy and Nancy settle in. Andy tells her about time spent there while their dad was at the track. There are pictures of Judah and Francie all over the house.
He asks her what they're doing there. He hopes she has a plan. He asks if he should be nervous. "Of course you should," she says, "it's the drug business, it's dangerous."
Nancy meets with Guillermo. They look at the border. Birds keep pooping on Nancy. She asks what her role is supposed to be. He tells her her role is to be a pretty American lady. She tells him she won't bring heroin. A group of guys carrying bags run across and get in Guillermo's truck. "Welcome to the border," he says, driving off.
