Happy Halloween, and welcome to the recap season for the scariest show on TV, "Nip/Tuck"! For those of you not in the know, let me fill you in:
Previously: The show got even more ridiculous than usual , as last season's central arc focused on an organ theft ring headed up by Jacqueline Bissett and Christian's chick Michelle. Lesbian nurse Liz got her kidney stolen and dated Alanis Morrisette. Julia slept with a dwarf and skipped town. Sean's kid Matt ended up impregnating Kimber, and they become Scientologists. When the season wound down, Sean and Christian moved their practice from Miami to L.A.. Where I'm sure there is no shortage of grotesque plastic surgery fodder.
Lights up, it's showtime. The new plastic surgery clinic is vast. Gigundous if you will. The foyer is uh, there's a lot of wood paneling. And Liberace coffin looking sofas. That are blue. Is this what the interior decorating is like in L.A.? Who is determining this motif? Eleanor Roosevelt?
Sean and Christian are playing b-ball in one of the operating rooms. Yes, they have an actual basketball hoop set up in an operating room. I hope it's removable because there is no way I am getting wheeled into surgery when there's an opportunity for the guy shoving a knife in me to get distracted working on his three point shot. I'd sue. I'd sue the dickens! Christian asks Sean if he thinks Sean can get inside of him now. He's talking basketball, but didn't we tackle this theme last season? There's gay, there's gayer and then there's this show. "Face it, partner, you just can't dominate me" says Christian. Why don't they just decorate the operating room in rainbows?
Keep reading for more Nip/Tuck recap, after the jump.
