gauze110906Those of us Nip/Tuck watchers who are thankful that the Carver is a thing of the past, yet confounded by this show's inability to cohesively move current plot strands along in a timely manner, are not going to be too pleased with this week's episode. For some reason there has been a continuing a misbegotten trend of returning former storylines (and by former I mean storylines that concluded three years ago) to the front line. Ever wondered what happened to Dr. Meryl Bobolit or Drug Kingpin Escobar (not just a figment of Sean's imagination anymore)? Well, then this ep is for you. But, if you're like me, and thought that those storylines ended quite satisfactorily when they first aired, you'll be annoyed. VERY VERY ANNOYED. Ehh, at least Kimber was in this one...

They're not messing around tonight, and just getting right into things: Kimber and Matt are married and Kimber is preggers. If you think you hear the sound of a shotgun in the background, you're mistaken; apparently Kimber and Matt love each other. It's hard to believe because Kimber has reverted back to her old self, leaving the sweet, good natured Kimber of earlier this season in the dust. We can tell this because she seems to be channeling her inner Catherine Trammell. Needless to say Matt's Two Dads are none too pleased about this latest predicament HK Jackson has gotten himself into. And by predicament I mean Kimber's vagina. The reason that they are at Mac/Troy is not to only spread their joy (it's not all Matt was spreading - RIMSHOT!), but to ask for a breast transplant removal surgery for Kimber. Happy wedding! It seems that Kimber will not be able to breast feed her baby with her fake boobies. Two other things of note in this scene: Kimber is being a controlling bitch toward HK Jackson; and 2) Christian is trying out a new messy hairstyle that makes him look even more like a 40-something trying desperately to still be a 20-something.

At the MacNamara house Sean is painting over Marlow's beautiful, yet slightly creepy Garden of Eden mural in Sebastian's nursery. Something tells me that Sebastian might have been more comfortable with an Under the Sea scene on his wall. ZING! Julia is obviously pisst off about this, but Sean doesn't care. He doesn't want any memory of Marlow around, as his suspicions of a Julia's (tiny) affair are all but confirmed by her rant.

Back at the office the docs are performing surgery to the "Don't Worry, Be Happy," possibly the most offensively annoying song of all-time. Sean inquires about Michelle, and Christian informs him that she is in Houston with lawyers, spreading her late husband's ashes. Apparently, no one from the EMT to the police to the coroner found it odd that when Burt died he was sans one kidney. If anyone has a truck I can borrow, I'd really like to drive it through this show's plot holes.

On another note, Christian asks if Sean has mentioned to Julia the unholy union of Hello Kitty Jackson and Kimber Trammell. Julia is obviously upset about HK Jackson's decision, but is that really surprising? Does Julia have any other emotions other than anger? Oh yeah. She does a mean Righteous Indignation. Silly me. Sean also confides in Christian that he suspects Julia had affair with Marlow. Christian is shocked, but suddenly Sean leaps to Marlow's defense (and probably trying to soothe his own ego) with a Size doesn't matter comment that is particularly relative when discussing the diminutive Marlow. Christian doesn't believe that Julia had an affair with the Manny, mostly because he echoes what we're all thinking. It's just too damn cliché. I mean, two people in the same house having affairs with their two nannies within weeks of one another? That just doesn't happen. Of course while Christian is saying this someone is getting carved up by a penis-less serial rapist who is having an affair with his sister, so I guess it's all to do with perspective on this show. Christian submits that its just Sean's guilty conscience about banging Monica which has him suspicious of Julia. Sean admits that he doesn't have any proof, just his gut. The same gut that told him having an affair with a crazy nanny would be a good idea in the first place? So as far as logic barometers are concerned I suppose his gut isn't the best bet, although in this case it happens to be dead on.

Christian also mentions that he isn't that worried about Kimber's child being HK Jackson's, since he and Kimber had a little tete-et-cock recently. According to Christian, his sperm knows its way around Kimber's uterus, so it must be his. Isn't Christian a doctor? Shouldn't he know that this makes no sense? This does lead Sean to ask Christian if he's ever had a baby someone else didn't think was his.
