Reality TV

It was a pretty mild season finale last night on Nip/Tuck. The show started off with the consultation for the feature surgery. It was with a couple of “vampires”. The girl wanted to get her neck repaired because her boyfriend took things a little too far and hit her artery. They had gone to the emergency room, but they did a poor job of closing up the wound, hence their trip to McNamara/Troy. They realize that their bloodlust may be too dangerous and want to wean themselves off of the blood. After the surgery, Christian walks in on them at night, and they raided the McNamara/Troy blood supply. Instead of calling the cops, Christian just gives them a bag “for the road” and kicks them out.

Kimber gets dumped by Ram Peters and is out on her own. She stops by to drop the kid off with Matt for a couple of weeks, and finds out that Christian is getting married to Liz. She flips out and decides she still loves Christian and that he loves her. Kimber goes to confront Liz and tells her that Christian still fantasizes about her and really loves her, then calls Liz “Butch”. Liz tells her to stay away from her and Christian or she’s going to find out how “butch” she can get.

Christian tells everyone that he has found out how to live forever, and wants them to have him cryogenically frozen so that he can be brought back when they have a cure. Everyone laughs at the idea, but Christian is dead serious. Sean goes with him to check the place out, and it kind of looks like a storage unit, not a nice place at all. It was going to cost Christian something like two or three hundred thousand dollars up front, plus five thousand a month. He was ok with that until he found out he was going to have to share a chamber with another body. Christian asks what happens if they cure the other guys disease first and they have to open it up, to which they reply, “I’m sure we’ll figure something out.” That was the deal breaker and Sean and Christian walk out. Christian then breaks down, knowing that was his one hope of cheating death.

The crazy anesthesiologist is just that, crazy. Apparently she moonlights as another person in Las Vegas, still an anesthesiologist though, and she sleeps with the surgeon of that practice as well. She ends up killing that surgeon with nitrous oxide, as she tells him it helps heighten the orgasm during sex, and she uses it herself, though a “safe” amount I guess. She purposesly overdoses him. To make matters worse, she gets Sean interested in nitrous oxide as well, and his character actually ends the show going into the surgery room and trying it out himself. Will he become hooked on it? Is she planning on killing him as well?

Christian and Liz do get married, and Kimber shows up and it looks like she is actually going to interrupt the wedding, but instead it appears she is about to cry and then walks out. Liz and Christian finish their vows and all is well. They then go home and start packing for their honeymoon when Christian gets a phone call from his doctor. He explains that there was some kind of mix up with another patient and that his cancer is actually in remission. Christian is obviously shocked and maybe a little terrified. Sure he wanted to marry Liz when he only had 6 months to live, but does he want to spend what could be 50 more years with her?

So, just to sum it up, Sean is dating what appears to be some kind of nitrous oxide killer, Christian isn’t going to die, but is married to Liz, Kimber has been kicked out and is on her own and apparently wants to be with Christian again, though that could have just been because she wanted the money when he died.

What are your thoughts on the season finale?
