She takes off her blouse and Christian remarks about how big they've gotten because of lactation. Within minutes of the party, Gina takes Christian aside and tells him to milk her so it won't stain her blouse. In the wake of the FCC crackdowns, worrying that Nip/Tuck would go soft had some weight. We also learn that she is an accomplished writer and that Christian had a thing for her, which he quickly skirted away from after he said it. She doesn't bother him, so he'll serve as the intermediary. Erica believes that Julia has excluded her from their family. It also serves as a good reminder of how everyone was at the end of last season, which is interesting to watch after seeing what everyone undergoes this season.ĭuring the party, Julia tells Sean that her mother, Erica, will be coming. Everyone is smiling, cracking jokes and enjoying themselves. This confirms what Sean had said, that his life is going along very well. Later that night, everyone (except for Grace, who came down with Chuck Cunningham syndrome late last season) greets him for "surprise" birthday party. Christian embraces it, believing that it goes with the job, like a personal trainer staying fit. It's ironic that he is denying himself what he does for hundreds of people. Sean claims that he would rather age gracefully with help from a healthy lifestyle instead of plastic surgery. Christian gives him a shot of Botox as a present, but Sean refuses. They talk about Sean's 40th birthday and the difficulty in hiding age. Checking out his reflection in the toaster oven, Christian surprises him. Though Sean's life is good, he is growing insecure about his looks. Christian and Sean have been able to avoid it until now. Some blame the plastic surgery industry for worsening people's insecurity about their bodies. Their careers are a major cause behind it, since they "sell youth for a living". Both are about to hit a major age, forty, which triggers many feelings of misspent life and the dread over age. Murphy escalates the drama this season by featuring both leading men having mid-life crisis. Last season started with Sean's mid-life crisis. This season turned out to be even more fearless than its predecessor was, but it still was dramatically defendable. Nip/Tuck would lose either way, so they decided to push the boundaries even further. Fans feared that graphic and vivid shows like Nip/Tuck would go soft. Janet Jackson's stunt at the Super Bowl sent many networks running for cover at the risk of high FCC fines. Since that season had aired, the pop-culture landscape would change dramatically regarding what is indecent. It proved that the fledgling FX network could compete with the hottest cable networks regarding quality original edgy programming. Nip/Tuck exploded in its volatile first season.
