The past five seasons of Nip/Tuck have been a roller coaster for the doctors of McNamara/Troy and their loved ones. When it seems as if something good may happen, a bomb is dropped into their lives. At the end of last season, we saw Dr. Christian Troy (Julian McMahon) heading out for his honeymoon with Liz, who he married only because he thought he was dying, only to get the news that his cancer was in remission. Sean (Dylan Walsh) had a rather eventful year that seemed to be getting better at the end of the season with his new girlfriend, Teddy (Rose McGowan). One can only guess what will happen to these men in the upcoming year.
The episode is told in documentary style.
It concerns mostly the monetary troubles of McNamara/Troy and the individual doctors. Apparently plastic surgery isn’t booming during the current economy. Sean is paying for Julia and his children in New York as well as the expenses of Teddy as his girlfriend while Christian is going through a divorce with Liz who wants half of everything he owns.
In an effort to bring up their financial situation, they bring on a third doctor (Mario Lopez) that has an expertise in vaginal rejuvenation. The doctors decide this is the way to go and even use Kimber to film their own infomercial to air on television in the early hours of the morning.
Matt decides that he wants to be a mime for a living. After this fails he unwittingly finds himself robbing a small coffee shop with a fake, plastic gun. Uh oh. Matt screws up seriously once again, but at least he will be able to pay his half of the rent.
Teddy gets down on one knee and proposes to Sean after promising him that she would sign a prenuptial agreement. Sean agrees and says he would never ask her to do that. Silly Sean.
The episode ends with Sean finally deciding to take a sleeping pill in order to get a night of sleep. In the morning, Teddy can’t wake him and she runs screaming for Christian.
It seems that the men of Nip/Tuck are in for some serious storms this season, as is to be expected from the show that we viewers have grown to love. Maybe we get some sort of twisted satisfaction out of their obvious dilemmas, but at the same time I think we secretly hope that something, anything good will happen to the good doctors.
