Showtime's hit drug dramedy "Weeds" returns tonight for its 7th season. When we last left matriarch Nancy Botwin, she had turned herself in to the police for the murder of corrupt Mexican politician Pilar, who was actually killed by her son Shane, who was ... you know what? Maybe this would be easier if we started at the beginning.
