Reid About It

Mrs. Grubman is back, and her plastic surgery addiction appears to be continuing even though she's going to die.

Julia and Sean discuss Connor's upcoming operation, and she gets upset. Sean gets so upset a Public Service Announcement takes place in his head.

Sean takes the kids to dinner at what seems to be an IHOP, and we get a rare daylight fistfight at a pancake place. I didn't even know that IHOP's were open at anytime other than the middle of the night.

Afterwards, Sean tracks down the family he had the fistfight with. Not sure how, they don't specify. He didn't have the name of the guy, and bolted after punching him, but somehow is able to find him in a city of five million people. That kind of magic tracking you normally associate with Wolverine or Dog the Bounty Hunter.

Julia is not pleased with the surgeon's plans for Connor, and storms out of the meeting.

Mrs. Grubman refers to Bo-Tox as "the elixer of life," then drops dead. I guess irony can be pretty ironic sometimes.

Julia midget housekeeper quits. Then they make out. At this point, there is no possible sexual plotline that could surprise me. So far this season, we've seen Sean bang the babysitter, Christian pork the psychiatrist, Sean and Christian make out in a dream, Christian having sex as Larry Hagman's proxy. With Mrs. Grubman's corpse still on the table, I'm quite afraid of what happens next.

Burt Bacharach shows up. I halfway expect him to climb up on his piano and have a three-way with Kimber and the midget.

Sean reveals that he had a cleft pallet as a kid, and the incident drove his parents apart. Not sure which is stranger, that he's never mentioned it, or that the writers would take a shortcut like having a child with a deformity becoming a plastic surgeon.

No one comes to Mrs. Grubman's funeral. To make matters even shallower, she leaves all of her money to plastic surgery. That's even worse than leaving it to her cat.

They go ahead and do the surgery on Connor. Sean wants to do it so his child will turn out normal and loved like his other kids, whatshername and the crazy bowl-headed one who only shows up every few episodes.
