“It’s Time” couldn’t have been a more appropriate title for Weeds‘ series finale, which aired Sept. 16 on Showtime. After eight seasons of selling pot, smuggling weapons, and God knows what else, Nancy Botwin (Mary-Louise Parker) and her merry band of hemp lovers have earned themselves a long retirement. But before the characters peaced out forever, we were given a long glimpse into their distant futures — and it was quite the trip.

Here’s a quick recap of the biggest events that went down — or rather, will go down — in Nancy’s future:

>> A once-again-widowed Nancy receives an offer from Starbucks to buy her chain of weed cafés, and after a nudge from Andy (Justin Kirk), she agrees go ahead and sell — as if she knows how to do anything else.

>> Oh, did I mention Andy has a baby with another woman? If you were hoping he and Nancy would finally hook up on the finale, you were probably pretty bummed.

>> Shane (Alexander Gould) becomes a cop. And an alcoholic. I’m not sure in which order, but he definitely becomes both.

>> Silas (Hunter Parrish) reunites with and marries his deaf ex-girlfriend, Megan, and they have a baby girl.

>> Doug (Kevin Nealon) develops a massive following of disciples, all clad in purple jumpsuits. And just to make sure the finale includes every character ever, he also reaches out to his estranged son Josh.

Nancy Botwin (Mary-Louise Parker) may have spent the past three years in prison, but don’t expect to see the iced-coffee fiend emerge a changed woman when Weeds returns for its seventh season. “She’s emotionally unscathed,” Mary-Louise says of Nancy, who finally gets released on tonight’s premiere. “She’s affected, but not wildly rearranged.”

In fact, aside from Shane (Alexander Gould) growing out a ridiculous pair of mutton chops, it doesn’t look like any of the Botwins have undergone too many changes while the marijuana mama was behind bars. Which is good, because I couldn’t handle a season without Andy (Justin Kirk) cooking up schemes and Silas (Hunter Parrish) brooding in the corner. It just wouldn’t feel like Weeds!

So grab yourself an iced coffee — making sure to clutch it from the top, Nancy-style — and watch a sneak peek at the new season of Weeds below:

The upcoming sixth season of Showtime’s Weeds picks up right where last season left off, with Esteban’s political guru Pilar floating face down in her pool, dead as can be. The killer: Nancy Botwin’s (Mary-Louise Parker) son Shane (Alexander Gould.) The question: What to do next?

Nancy decides to flee, grabbing Shane and hopping into the limo. Before hitting the road, she packs the essentials (aka her high heels and all of evil hubby Esteban’s cash) and sweeps the kids in the car. The Botwin family is off! But where to go?

First stop: Pick up Uncle Andy, played by Justin Kirk. (Go figure. He’s always down for an adventure!)

In order to calm her nerves, Nancy gets drunk and remains so throughout the entire first episode. With the whole Mexican mob on her trail this season, she’s definitely got a few reasons to be nervous.

The character to watch this season is definitely Shane. He ‘s developed into a very dynamic young man, someone who believes that murder and defying the law is the only way to protect his family. He’s definitely following in his mother’s felon footsteps. But unlike Nancy, he doesn’t seem to feel any remorse for his actions — even when he takes someone’s life!

Be sure to check out the season premiere of Weeds at 10 p.m. Aug. 16 on Showtime!
