Andy develops a relationship with an attractive, sexually formidable administrator, Yael Hoffman, at his rabbinical school, but they break up once he tells her he is planning to drop out, due to an incident at the grow house where a dog bites off two of his toes; he thinks this will invalidate his military obligation.

Silas takes out his frustrations through vandalism, most notably by stealing Celia's drug-free zone signs and cameras to help his mother.

Following the incident, Heylia and Conrad pressure Nancy into quitting the business and persuading Peter to stop the DEA's investigation.

The season concludes with a complex series of betrayals, as an enraged Peter demands from Nancy and Conrad all of the cash from a quick sale of their crop.

Under Heylia's orders, the Armenian mobsters kill Peter and arrive following the murder, expecting the proceeds from the big sale to pay for their hit.

The site's critical consensus reads: "Weeds' sophomore season elevates the series' satire to a new high, complemented by a perfected balance between suburban ennui and life-or-death stakes.

"[5] James Donaghy of The Guardian also praised the balance of comedy and drama, writing "Season two takes us into darker territory while still managing to be funny, shocking and occasionally inspiring.

"[6] Linda Stasi of the New York Post wrote "Weeds hasn't dropped a petal or missed even a beat this season," and praised the comedic performances of Renee Victor as Lupita and Tonye Patano as Heylia.

Romany Malco, playing Conrad, received a nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series at the NAACP Image Awards.
