NIP/TUCK AGAIN






Okay, so I know I just talked about how this show is losing me, but the last episode totally redeemed it. Wait, not totally redeemed, but enough that I don't want to jump off the roof and light my crotch on fire.

Speaking of crotches, Christian really needs to stop thinking about his. He wants to hook it up with his boss, the married Sanaa, who's name I'm forgetting. Of course, Christian wants to hook up with anything female. The gay thing has been dropped recently, besides some looks Christian gives no one, when Sean's around sometimes. I sorta liked the maybe gaybe thing but then again, he's not gay. I know some people will be destroyed by this notion, and I kinda am too. That would have been hot. I was hoping him and Mario get back into the shower together. Whoa.

His story did get a little anti-Christian. Haha, anti-Christian get, it, er, anyway. So Sanaa came over to his house because really, who wouldn't. She actually thought Sean was going to be there, but silly girl, Christian has a plan. He tries to seduce her, but she's devoted to her husband, Larry Hagman. I'll say that again, she denied Christian for Larry Hagman. Seriously. Anyway, she invited Christian and Sean to a dinner, before Christian's little suggestion, but rescinded it the next day. At some point she comes home to find Christian checking out Larry Hagman's balls. I know that sounds bizarre, but Larry got his balls enlarged by McNamara/Troy and Christian came over to "check on him". Oh, and screw his wife.


See, Jacqueline Bissett is blackmailing Sanaa. A few episodes ago she felt Sanaa up in the parking lot and Liz saw it. She tried to fire Liz but the boys stood up for her. Sanaa gave JB a bunch of stacks of money which I thought was just ridiculous. Fortunately, we don't have to wait too long to figure out what's going on. Sanaa tells Christian, the night he comes to her house, that JB is blackmailing her because she used to be an escort at JB's company. Larry Hagman doesn't know that, and she hopes he doesn't find out. Christian says he won't tell, and makes Sanaa have sex with him for his silence. Now, this is a form a rape to me, and not very Christian like. Haha, again. I mean, I know she must want him in a way, but it's just not right.


Something else not right is Sean. Wait, before we get to his ridiculousness, let's talk about Liz. So Liz is a lesbian, good for her. Unfortunately, since she saw Sanaa and JB hook up, she almost gets fired. After Christian throws himself at Sanaa and he starts flirting with her at the office. Of course Liz is upset because Sanaa's not trying to fire him. She wants what Christian has, balls. With the ladies at least. They got to a lesbian place and Christian's upset, to say the least, that he can't have any of these women. There is one woman staring him down and he goes after her, but she wants Liz. Huh? I mean, good for her. Anyway, she takes Liz home. They must do it because the next thing we know, Liz is waking up with her cell phone taped to her hand. It rings and the chick on the other ends says that her kidney was surgically removed. Really? At least she was nice enough to call. Liz isn't as upset about that as she is about having no one to take care of her. Sean and Christian are there and decide to take her back to McNamara/Troy to recuperate.




Okay, on to Sean. Last time we saw him he was banging the slutty night nurse. Sure, he felt bad about it but he told Christian that he wanted to do it again. What's wrong with him?! It's been awhile since the baby was born, all lobster hands and all. Not only is Sean freaking out about it still, so is Julia. She can't seem to get Conor to attach to her breast. Put some beer and chips on it, that's what I do. Peter Dinklage is their night nurse and he's been painting a mural in the baby's room. He tries to help Julia, puts a warm compress on it. Sean sees this and like anyone who's a cheater, he becomes all jealous and fires Dinklage. Before Dinklage can go though, he tells Sean that he knows he doesn't want Julia on anti-depressants either and gives him some tips. This makes Sean realize he's a tool. Sean, not Dinklage.

Unfortunately he's still a tool because slutty night nurse comes back. She tells Sean that she can't stop thinking about him, she wants to do him again and invites him over. At first Sean's against it, but then he goes home and sees Julia picked up some pills. Because he has issues and blames Julia for everything, he goes to SNN's house. She has some hash brownies (I could totally go for some hashbrowns right now) and Sean starts eating some. I don't think it was weed in there. He starts hallucinating and the tattoo guy comes back!!! I love him!!! He plays "the devil" and that cancer chick who died that he was in love with comes back too as "the angle" and they have a great scene with Sean as they tell him what he should do. Then "the devil" starts doing SNN and then the cancer chick, and then she turns into Julia. He realizes his mistake and tells SNN he doesn't want to be with her. Once home, he finds out that Julia didn't even take the drugs. Dinklage helped her out and made her realize her fears, and blah blah blah. Okay, so your kid has lobster hands, SFW. Really, get over it. He's healthy regardless of that, and his hands are kinda cute.

So I'm not totally all in, some of the stories are still a bit stupid. Stolen kidney? Come on. But the fact that the Sanaa thing didn't drag out, and that Sean came to his senses, for real, with SNN, makes me feel better about it. I'll keep watching, if nothing else then to see Christian's ass again. Yowza!
