Synopsis[]
After being threatened by U-Turn and The Armenians, Nancy goes in search of Silas and her hijacked pot. Meanwhile, Celia has Silas arrested for stealing her 'Drug Free Zone' signs. Nancy visits him in jail only to discover that the pot is still in his car - the one that Celia has just driven away in.
Plot[]
Part One of the 3rd Season Opener picks up where season 2 left off: Nancy is staring down the barrel of five guns as she desperately tries to find her drugs to salvage her deal-gone-wrong and/or survive. Silas' run-in with Celia and the police causes his car, with its precious cargo, to fall into the wrong hands; U-turn buys Nancy's debt from the Armenians, meaning she has to deal with him now; Kat abandons Shane at a diner, but at least she leaves him the van; Celia does something for Nancy's own good that may kill her - literally.
