Nip/Tuck: Shari Noble
We start with Sean confessing to Christian about boinking the babysitter, and feeling sorry about it. Christian deletes the babysitter's number from Sean's phone, and tells him that unlike Sean, he can resist temptation. Then, Sean is shown with Michelle being completely unable to resist temptation. That's irony, kids.
Julia is having trouble breast feeding, and her coach upsets her. At least Sean won't sleep with the lactation coach. Julia is upset, and admits she's having post-partum depression. Tom Cruise would disagree, wonder if sudden Scientologist Matt will take that crusade?
Ouch! We have our first missing nipple of the year, as Melissa Gilbert takes one for the team. For possibly the first time ever, we have a former head of the Screen Actors Guild doing a partial nude scene. Thank God this didn't happen when Ed Asner was in charge.
Christian goes with Liz to a lesbian bar, which to him is like window shopping at a store that will never open. Liz winds up with a 10, in something that's so out of the ordinary it has to be a setup. Yep, she wakes up alone with a kidney stolen.
A kidney stolen? You're kidding me. One of the oldest urban legends comes to life, and we get a bad guy for this year's show. What next? A gang of people who dry off their poodles in the microwave, and then give away Neiman-Marcus' cookie recipes?
Jacqueline Bisset makes an appearance, and it seems that Michelle is/was a call girl. And Bisset displays a mean temper, caving in the side of one of her girls' faces.
Christian and Michelle perform surgery on the callgirl, with serious overtones of passion. It really seems this season as if they've run out of ways to make sex sexy, and now are just making in weird.
Sean fires Marlo, and implies he is upset because he doesn't get women. Then the midget runs down his blackbook, and puts Sean to shame. He's nailing ballet dancers, and Sean is boinking babysitters. Midget 1, Sean 0.
While Christian is in with Mrs. Ripnipple, her husband comes in. He lets the moment breathe for just long enough before he drops the bomb, and reveals his wife was using peanut butter to be amorous with the dog. I'm not saying they're running out of ideas on this show, but that's two urban legends in less than an hour. Perhaps Liz will be comforted when she gets a big paycheck from Bill Gates for forwarding an email, but then be killed when she flashes her highbeams at gang members driving by with their lights out.
Sean finds prescriptions in Julia's purse, which apparently gives him free reign to go after the babysitter again. He eats a hash brownie and hallucinates Hell, complete with the bad guy from the first season, and a soundtrack by Animotion. He summons his inner strength, and is able to leave without sleeping with the babysitter. However, he's still weak enough to drive home all high. Hope he doesn't get stopped, the police won't accept his lesser-of-two-evils apology.
Christian finally gets the truth out of Michelle. And sleeps with her. Good enough to keep the plot going, I guess.

I haven't seen this episode yet, but it's waiting at home on my Tivo (which is the greatest invention ever, BTW).
Even though I feel a need to take a shower once I watch it, I'm always drawn back to this show. As perverse and twisted as some of the plot lines are, I'm addicted, which is rather ironic don't you think? Or maybe I'm just a freak!
I use the DVR, myself, and I'm always depressed when I get back to the real world, and I lose that ability to stop time.
And yeah, I know what you mean. Although it really seems like they're going out of their way to make the dirty stuff too dirty to enjoy this year.
