Last night's Nip/Tuck should have been titled was full of absolute craziness and I loved every minute of it. Besides all the craziness, the whole episode was basically about separation, whether it was between business partners, lovers, or even ventriloquist and dummy.
First things first: Thank God James didn't kill Wilber. The whole episode had me nervous and worried, because I seriously wouldn't put it past Nip/Tuck to have a little child butchered, especially in a season that keeps topping itself with outrageous moments (remember Melissa Gilbert's close relationship with her dog?. But Wilber did have to suffer through a visit from the crazy Gina. She is quite possibly the least likable female character to have ever been on the show. I still don't get how a mother could just not want their child, it just doesn't make sense to me. Thankfully her screen time was limited, although she did manage to briefly abduct Wilber off the playground. It looks like she won't be around much, as Christian and Michelle have agreed to raise Wilber together. They actually make a pretty cute family. I am also very surprised with Christian. He has really grown this season and I enjoy seeing him happy with his new family.
Christian's happpiness makes me feel bad for Sean, though. He's so lonely that he's considering moving and establishing a life away from Christian. That would probably be good for him, but I doubt it will happen. The show just wouldn't really work without the partners' close interaction. But who knows on this show? Weirder things have happened. (See the Melissa Gilbert reference above.)
Now let's turn to a family that's far less cute than Christian's new one: Matt, Kimber, and their future baby. Matt, sensing that Kimber was unhappy with their sex lives, decided to seduce his wife by hiring a porn crew to film their lovemaking. This was probably the greatest moment of the night as they played doctor for the cameras. Unfortunately, their little tryst made it onto a website, and now it's affecting Kimber and Matt's status within the Scientology world. Their whole storyline was a mixture of hot, crazy, and hilarious.
Now we can't possibly leave out the two biggest names of the night: Jacqueline Bissett (James) and Alanis Morissette (Poppy). Let's do Alanis first. Did I kind of felt a little shortchanged by this story line. I mean Poppy and Liz just broke up suddenly without much of an explanation. But you do have to love Liz's parting words to Poppy: "You are the most beautiful woman that I have ever kissed who didn't steal one of my organs afterward." I would have liked a little more info on what these two were like in private and what instigated the break-up.
And then there's James. She is one nasty girl, and not in the good, Janet Jackson way. I can't believe she even considered selling Wilber's organs. But at least we found out what made her so coldhearted: James had a son who died from kidney disease, and she's never gotten over the loss. Still, the villain has to perish, and James shot herself. The big twist ending, though, was that Escobar surprised Michelle by hiding in her car, where he revealed to her that he was actually James' boss. Now Escobar wants Michelle to take over James' work. So it looks like James still screwed over poor Michelle even while dead. Through it all, I really feel bad for poor Michelle. She is someone that is trying to put a normal life together with Christian and now Wilber and put her horrid past behind her. Unfortunately, she keeps facing so many obstacles and knowing this show, it will only end badly.
Next week is the season finale. Will Sean dissolve the partnership? Will Christian discover Michelle's secret? What will happen between Matt and Kimber?
