So when they said they were going to kidnap Matt to deprogram him, I didn't think like full-on blackened window van and guys jumping out to snatch the kid. And it's my own fault for underestimating this show' ability to fly over the top. I also underestimated HK Jackson's ability to kick some ass. He's like Michael Jackson at the end of the Black or White Video (or Hello Kitty on crack) and is able to slip away from the men trying to "help him".
Finally, he sneaks back into his Scientology building where the rest of his brothers in nuttiness protect him from his attackers. Side note: Why are these guys dressed like Mormons?
It seems like HK Jackson isn't the only one with unwanted visitors, as Christian answers a knock on his door from distraught Dawn Fudge. She likes Christian's apartment but thinks the black thing is a little gay (TEE HEE! DRINK!). This leads to an uncomfortable Indecent Proposal, of Rosie telling Christian that she wants to have sex with him for money. Sure, it's not as gross as Demi Moore and Robert Redford (and his sandpaper face), but it's up there. Dawn wants to teach her husband a lesson, and Christian needs the cash. So for $400,000 he'll screw her for 10 minutes. I don't want to be amused by the following scene, in which Dawn chats about everything from Mac & Cheese to Britney & K. Fed during the romp, but I can't help it, it's funny.
And it ends with this!
Dawn is still upset about her cheating husband, who used to adore her. Christian tells her like it is, saying that she's a mean bitch, who didn't give the people she loved what they wanted, but rather what she wanted them to want. Rosie may not be the best actress in town but she does heartbreak rather well. I genuinely feel for her, when she responds to Christian, asking why he helped her if he thinks that of her. Christian very matter of factly tells her he needed the money. Dawn Fudge has the last laugh as she tosses him a check for $400,000 telling him that skinny thighs is an easy thing to buy, but love is much more difficult. Sadly, when Dawn gets back to her McMansion, there is a note: Her husband and daughter moved back to Pensacola.
At the house, Sean of course has overreacted (kind of like when he tried to kidnap his own son), and tells Julia that he'll be leaving after breakfast. DRAMA QUEEN! I don't know which personality it is, but Julia tells Sean not to leave. She even admires that he is trying to do something to help Matt. She then proposes to Sean with his old wedding ring.
Jackie B. is paid in full by Christian and receives the negatives and photo of him and Michelle being naughty. However, Jackie B. is no dummy, as she then takes another set of pictures and re-blackmails Michelle back into service as a happy hooker. Say what!?!?!
Sean and Julia finally get remarried in a simple backyard ceremony. And yesssss! Annie is there. Oh evil spawn! What will you do next!?!?! I'm just waiting... I know it's coming... I just know it. Oh by the way, Christian is there and he stares longingly at the happy couple, wishing that he was the one marrying Sean (DRINK!)
We are left with Michelle at a bar, picking up some random dude as her first client in a good long while. Next thing you know it Jackie B. is heading into a hotel room with a cooler where Michelle is waiting and the guy she picked up is unconscious. That's right! Jackie B. is the mastermind behind the whole prostitute and black market organs ring that got the best of Lez a few weeks ago! And Michelle is one of her many accomplices! Who knew!?!?!?
So did you see that little twist coming? I certainly didn't but I'm completely dumbed down after so many years of watching television. And is it just me or is Nip/Tuck slowly but surely washing away all of the memories of last year's craptastic season?

I actually liked this episode. Rosie's [Dawn Fudge] character was pretty interesting and we got to see Kimber! But isn't the girl who played Dawn Fudge's daughter on some sitcom? I swore I saw her on like the CW network or something. Michelle & Jackie B. stealing organs?? Wow..

TOTALLY did not see the black market organ thing coming! of course, i missed the episode where Lez got it, so i was completely thrown...
Yes, I've all but forgotten the Carver. I hope to some day fully forget, cause damn that shit was disturbing. I'm getting a kick out of the Scientology aspects of the show right now. The writers are doing a good job of making it look crazy and cult-like, yet still somehow not as psychotic as the 'normal' people on the show... that takes talent! = )

YES! That last scene was awesome! Nip/Tuck is totally redeeming itself! Rose O'Donnell was hilarious too.
I'm also impressed with how they are showing Scientology. I'm not going to sign up by any means but maybe they just don't want to piss off the Scientology mafia. They might want a Tom Cruise cameo.

Great recap Umnata. I was grossed out by Matt, amused by Dawn, sickened by Sean, and surprised by Michelle. Just what I want out of Nip/Tuck.

The Jackie B. storyline is just as surprising and twisted as I'd hoped. I honestly thought the Michelle/Jackie B. relationship was going to turn out to be the standard madam/whore relationship with Michelle being the hooker with the heart of gold who wants out and Jackie being the pimp who pulls her back in. This organ stealing story line is much more promising. I love how Jackie B. took Christian for $500K and still made Michelle steal organs anyway. Right now, she's my favorite of all the dislikable characters on this show.

Great episode, great recap! I too was Rosie O fan. (Her show was pure entertainment and tears)
This season seems so much better than last. I was totally surprized by the organ stealing thing!
Jackie B.'s evilness is awesome!
A Porche would solve a few of my problems! Too bad my parent's aren't that messed up!

I found this episode to be deeply disturbing but nonetheless entertaining. I too was thrown by the organ stealing thing, I Definitely wasn't expecting that. Great recap :)
