The De-Clawectomy - 
by Umnata
What is up with the return of the Nip/Tuck Season 1 guest stars? First we had Manny Ramirez - I mean drug dealer Escobar and Sean's ex-lover Megan showing up as Sean's conscience while he was grappling with psycho-nanny Monica. Now it's time for the return of Plastic Surgery addict, Mrs. Grubman. You remember her? She had all sorts of entanglements with Christian, including blackmailing him into the boudoir. Even better she looks like the bastard love child of Vicki Lewis and the teacher from Teen Witch . In other news, two sad developments occur this week in terms of the recap: 1) this is the second week in a row where dirking for Christian's gayness is all but non-existent (don't worry, I'll try to whip something up for those of you eager to imbibe); 2) Baby Connor is getting his lobster claw removal surgery. If it is a success does that mean I can no longer call him Sebastian?!?!?! I don't even want to think of it... Those are actually the only two things that happen this week. Mrs. G returns with nurse Monique in tow, and Julia and Sean try to find some common ground for their son Connor's claws. Lackluster doesn't even begin to sum it up...
The aforementioned Mama's Family star/Mrs. Krabbappel hybrid is back in the form of Mrs. Grubman. The story with her ended with her suffering a stroke or some such nonsense, and becoming a total recluse. Christian hasn't seen her in years, but here she is with sassy pants McGee Monique as her nurse. Oh Monique will your cutting barbs never cease!?!? Remember when Monique was held up at the airport for carrying a hair dryer? That was the most random celebrity news of last year, I think. And boy does these two how a colorfully dysfunctional relationship! Monique calls Mrs. Grubman: "Driving Miss Crazy; Mrs. Grubman calls Monique: "Star Jones." Umnata calls them Rosario and Karen Walker.
So now that Mrs. G.'s (no, not Mrs. Garrett) ready to get back into society, she wanted Christian to perform a few surgeries on her to spruce her up. Alas, there is no time for a party, as she has Stage 4 lung cancer. Downgrade. This doesn't mean she wants to cancel the surgeries, she just wants them speeded up. Christian refuses, considering her delicate condition, so Mrs. Grubman asks for the surgeries after she dies. She'll be the best looking corpse around! Well, second best looking corpse. That honor belongs to Mike Delfino on Desperate Housewives (look at me cross promoting my recaps!). Christian can't be bothered by these nutty requests. He's a surgeon, a whore and an asshole, NOT an undertaker.
At the McNamara's Julia is breast feeding little Sebastian, not minding the little pinches that his claws inevitable cause on her boobie. In walks Marlow who dramatically says that Motherhood becomes Julia. I think Marlow's right. Motherhood does become Julia. It's parenthood she doesn't wear too well.
Sean had been working late on procedures for Sebastian. Turning a claw into a hand is no easy task. Julia, however, is getting frustrated because Sean is thinking too much like a surgeon and not enough like a husband or father. Julia can't ask the questions she wants, like how will he heal? Or what do we do with all the rubber bands that we've been using to keep his claws from getting loose? You know the usual concerns. Sean is too preoccupied with having his head up his ass, that he doesn't even realize that talking to his wife about baby cadavers he's practicing on might upset her. Baby cadavers, huh? What parent donates their baby's dead body to science? Maybe that's what Madonna does with the kids that don't work out...
