Pilot

Well I am a "Weeds" fan, nothing like the Botwin dilemmas to keep you guessing right. Its only natural that when Showtime came out with Tara that I would be hooked immediately.


The Pilot is my favorite. The scene where Buck whoops the boyfriend and Marshy gets his kick in on it too it awesome. They may be disfunctional but they protect each other.
The episode starts with a frantic Tara (Toni Collette) explaining to a camera that she is under stress due to her job and discovering her teenage daughter's morning after pill prescription. After, she takes off all her clothes walking down the hall. Kate (Brie Larson) comes home to find her mother in her room as T, high on marijuana looking through Kate's clothes. Kate is friends with her and says “I love you the best out of all the alters”. Max (John Corbett) comes home, not surprised to find his wife as T, and neither is their son, Marshall (Keir Gilchrist). Kate has a role in the dance recital due to the original girl being in the hospital for an eating disorder. Charmaine comes over, annoyed that plans with her sister are broken since T has taken over. In the garage with Max, Charmaine expresses that she doesn't feel her Dissociative identity disorder is legitimate. Later that night, T and Max talk on the sofa where they share a brief moment of lust. Max stops it and makes T go to the shed, where she calms down and change back. Marshall turns on some loud music so the neighbors won't hear T have a temper tantrum in the shed. Kate meets up with her gothic boyfriend and explains her mom's condition to him, where he shows no sympathy. Tara drives by Kate's school and catches her boyfriend pushing her around, where he shares he knows about her condition. Kate doesn't welcome Tara's help, due to embarrassment, so she transitions into Buck from the stress. When Marshall and Max find Buck, they are intimidated, but convince him to go to Kate's recital. After the show, Buck hits on Kate's friends and gets in a fight with her boyfriend for what Tara saw earlier. Marshall discovers why Buck is beating him up and joins. The episode ends with the family bowling, pointing out Buck is the only left handed alter.
