Shark Season One

Pilot
An arrogant big-shot defense attorney is guilt-ridden after the client he just helped get off commits another murder, so he decides to become a prosecutor. After a shocking outcome in one of his cases and a personal epiphany, Sebastian Stark decides to leave his job as a defense attorney. Now looking for a new job, he has been offered the position of director of the Los Angeles DA's high-profile crime unit, but with a twist - he will have to train a new team of inexperienced lawyers.
LAPD Blue
Stark prosecutes a drug dealer accused of killing an undercover police officer. However, the defense attorney in the case once worked for Stark's old law firm but was fired. Stark has a new case, the murder of an undercover narcotics detective by a drug dealer. He will have to deal with the murdered cop's partners, who are hesitant to trust or help him because he often used questionable means to win acquittals for his often-guilty clients when he was a defense attorney.
Dr. Feelbad
The office prosecutes a prominent doctor accused of killing his wife. However, the case rides on the testimony of his young son, who may be afraid to tell the truth and convict his dad. A heart surgeon is accused of murdering his missing wife. The fact that Stark doesn't have any proof, or even a body, doesn't stop him. He asks his team to find creative means to secure evidence from Dr. Mitchell Sterling's home and obtain testimony from his eight-year-old son, Ethan.

Russo
When the prosecutors' evidence in a murder trial is ruled inadmissible, they are forced to turn to the testimony of an unscrupulous private investigator--a man who has an uneasy past with Stark from his days as a defense attorney. A couple is shot to death in a Malibu beach house, which they rented from a private investigator who knows dirty secrets about almost everyone in Hollywood - including Stark. The PI is under investigation by a grand jury and Stark uses that threat to squeeze information from him. Back at home, Julie helps a guy on whom she has a crush research a term paper while she lets her own studies fall behind.
In the Grasp

Stark prosecutes three college football players accused of raping a female student at a campus athletic house. One of the players is the team's starting quarterback and is considered a first-round pick in the upcoming NFL draft. The case takes a hit when Stark learns the victim was in a relationship with the quarterback. Back at home, Julie tells her dad she is being suspended from school because she's been accused of plagiarism.
Fashion Police
The office is told to go after a sweat shop owner after an electrical fire kills four people. But since Martin feels so strongly about the case, they instead go after the clothing manufacturer that hired him. Four Latino women are killed in a garment-factory fire and the police rule it an accident, but Martin leaks false information to the press to force the DA's office to investigate. Sebastian isn't happy about it and says the case can't be won, but he gets pumped up when he learns a rival is defending the fashion company his office is going after. The probe reveals the company supports sweatshops and may be liable for the fire. Also, Julie gets readmitted to school.
Déjà Vu All Over Again
Stark wants to try a suspect in a child murder for a similar murder from 15 years ago. He lost the original case as a defense attorney, and has always believed his original client was innocent. After an 8-year-old girl is kidnapped from a park and murdered, Stark believes this new case could be linked to a similar crime committed 15 years ago. In the former case, the main suspect had been defended by Stark himself and prosecuted by Jessica Devlin, and the man had been convicted of the murder. Meanwhile, a young man tells Julie he believes his late father and her mother had an affair while she was still married to Stark.

Love Triangle
The office prosecutes a white teenage girl for the hit-and-run death of an African American girl who was involved with her boyfriend.

Dial M for Monica
Stark prosecutes an expensive Hollywood madam for ordering a hit on one of her former prostitutes, and she responds by releasing a book of her clients which includes his name. An assistant district attorney is gunned down along with a high-priced hooker in the prostitute's car. The investigation reports the victim had wanted to prosecute narcotics cases and not domestic disputes, and she may have been working the call girl on targeting a drug dealer with whom she had a relationship. Meanwhile, Julie considers going to the next step with Eddie.
Sins of the Mother
An L.A. socialite goes on trial for killing an ex-con, and Stark's investigation reveals some shocking information about the woman's past and true identity.

Stark goes after a millionaire arms broker who is supplying explosives to L.A. gangs that have caused three car bombings and nine fatalities over the past five months. Making things more difficult is the FBI, which wants to take over the case, but Stark won't allow it because Casey has been kidnapped and may be killed if the arms broker escapes the country.
Wayne's World
Shark goes up against a serial killer, but the conviction may not be as easy as he thinks and may put his daughter in danger. Sebastian's new case seems to be the easiest one he could get.

Trivia For Shark

• During the first meeting between Stark and Russo, there is a scene with a bus passing the D.A.'s office. On this bus is a sign that reads "Studio 60" and can be seen if it is freeze-framed
• The crash expert on the stand also shows his lack of credibility by saying "ninety-nine point thirty-seven" no engineer, physicist, or mathematician would say it that way. All decimals are spoken point by point so a true expert would say "point three seven".
• Text Message on PDA Phone at Beginning of Episode: Alert 6:33 pm. New Text Message from D.A. Office (M). Double homicide Mulholland overlook. Arrive ASAP.
• The watch Stark is wearing in the opening scene is a Chronoswiss Klassik Chronograph.
• When Stark dismissed the jury during the arrest of Judge Bennett, his pose with arms upright in the shape of a "V" was an homage to Richard Nixon.
• When Stark's team is explaining the oil residue, the right-top corner of the laptop screen says "Mute" in bright green letters, but strangely enough, the application makes sound.

• After Tim Matheson, Gary Cole is the second actor that played a Vice President in The West Wing to appear on Shark. Matheson played Vice President John Hoynes, Cole played Vice President Bob Russell. Curiously, they showed up in consecutive episodes (Tim Matheson guest-starred last week), they both played figures from Stark's past, and they were both implicated in a murder case.
• Right before Masters shoots the surveillance camera, he speaks directly to the authorities, saying, "If we're not on that copter in 29 minutes, everyone dies." There is even a reaction from Jessica Devlin as if she heard it. The camera is video-only and there is no open phone line in the courtroom. There is no way those words could have been heard.
• This episode reveals that Sam Page's character of Casey Woodland has left the DA's office to work on his father's political campaign.
• Stark's unit is supposed to handle high-profile cases only, and yet the crime in this episode was committed by what he called a "two-bit burglar." There was no explanation of why he was trying the case.
• It is revealed that Madeleine Poe has a brown belt in aikido.

• When Raina asks Stark to look at the Geneva Conventions for torture, she should have known that the Geneva Conventions only cover the treatment of non-combatants and prisoners of war during war times. Laws about torture in the United States are under the federal government's jurisdiction.
• Shark was in jeopardy of getting canceled before it even started, but James Woods gave the legal drama new life once he signed on to star in the pilot. Woods has spent most of his career focusing on feature films, not television.
• Shark is slightly inaccurate in implying that the Los Angeles County District Attorney is controlled by the City of Los Angeles. The District Attorney is actually an independently elected official of the county government. If anyone could pressure the D.A. to hire a former criminal defense attorney like Sebastian Stark, it would be the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, who control the county budget. The City of Los Angeles does have a City Attorney, but that official prosecutes only misdemeanors and files a variety of civil lawsuits against criminals, rather than the high-stakes felony prosecutions depicted in the show.
• Stark has three rules, which he refers to as his "Cutthroat Manifesto:" * "Trial is War. Second place is death." * "Truth is relative. Pick one that works." * "In a jury trial, there are only twelve opinions that matter and yours [speaking to his team] is not one of them."

• The Bennets' address is 9 Juniper Lane.
• Adrian Pasdar, who plays Milo Ventimiglia's brother, auditioned to play his father in the proposed "Gilmore Girls" (2000) spin off. The casting director at the time made the comment that Adrian could pass for Milo's brother because of their strong resemblance
• Milo Ventimiglia was one of the few actors considered for "Smallville" (2001)'s Clark Kent. The part, however, was given to Tom Welling.

• The license plate on Kaito Nakamura's car is NCC-1701. George Takei, who plays Kaito, was Mr. Sulu in the original incarnation of "Star Trek" (1966) and NCC-1701 is the registry number of the USS Enterprise.
• The premiere episode on NBC attracted 14.3 million viewers overall and received the highest rating for any NBC drama premiere in five years.
• The casino that Hiro, Ando, Niki and Nathan visit in the early episodes of season one is the Montecito, the fictional casino featured in the NBC TV series "Las Vegas" (2003). The scene where Hiro and Ando are seen coming down an escalator, having used betting profits from the casino to suit up, pays a very strong homage to a similar scene in the movie Rain Man (1988).
• The type of watch Hiro has is "the Connect" made by Nixon Watches.
• Tawny Cypress (Simone) originally auditioned for the role of Ali Larter's character (Niki).

• It was originally intended for Claire's friend Zach eventually to be revealed as gay, and to have his coming out serve as a parallel to Claire's coming to terms with her secret abilities. However, when the manager for Thomas Dekker (the actor who played Zach) discovered that this development was in store for the character, she first insisted that a line identifying Zach as gay be deleted from a script, and then pulled Dekker from the show altogether. Heroes producer and writer Bryan Fuller gave an interview in April 2007 in which he explained that Dekker "was up for the John Connor role in _"Sarah Connor Chronicles, The" (2007)_ and [the manager] didn't want him playing a gay character because it might affect FOX's interest in hiring him. It got really ugly." Fuller also said that through Zach's last appearances on the show, "in all of our minds, the character was still gay but we couldn't say it explicitly."

• Mr. Bennett's business card has no name, no phone number, and no other contact information. All it says is "www.primatechpaper.com". If you go to the URL, you'll find a rudimentary website for the Primatech Paper company, including a brief company history, a phone number (1-800-PRIMA-16), and an online job application, complete with personality test.
• In the German dubbed version the passages where a foreign language is spoken (i.e. Hiro and Ando speaking Japanese, Maya and Alejandro speaking Spanish) were not subtitled (as in the original version) but instead dubbed, too.
• "Kirby Plaza Building" is a tribute to the famous comic book artist, Jack Kirby.
• James Kyson Lee cannot speak a word of Japanese. He has to be taught it phonetically.
• According to Heroes' creator, Tim Kring, Mr. Bennett has a distinct pair of glasses due to the fact he had very few lines in the beginning of the series, and needed to be recognizable by the audience. Also, Kring said the horn-rimmed glasses were chosen because they had a distinct "early days of the CIA" look.

Sean imagines his cadaver head starts talking to him about Megan and Julia, which convinces him to help Megan commit suicide pain-free by OD, but then guilt ruins his concentration so he walks out at the exam: fighter Christian passes, he the perfectionist fails. After Megans memorial service, Sean confirms Julias suspicions they had an affair- she says she couldn't actually commit her intended infidelity, and is too heart-broken to take him back.
Montana/Sassy/Justice
Patience Miss Montana Caine?Keane wants her 'tankls' fixed, a contraction for 'tank-ankles', alias piano legs or suspension bridges, and her visible veins. Her irrational tantrums while being prepared for the OR lead to consultation of her shrink Dr. Reed, who explains she had over 20 personalities, of which only Montana and Sassy, the gate-keeper who controls the appearance of all others, remain 'in harmony'. Grace Santiago is angry not to have been consulted earlier, Sean reminds her she has no equal position, and neither he nor Dr. Troy had feelings for her while having sex. When she tells Montana operating is only the last option, Sassy attacks her and an aggressive third personality reappears, Justice, who threatens to raise numerous 'us'. Christian gets a visits from his nymphomaniac ex Gina Russo, who announces she's pregnant- from him; she demands his support, threatening with an abortion otherwise after a week; at AA he accepts to pay, but is a day late, so she calls him heartless and an unfit father, apparently having had an abortion.

Julia returns the bird to Christian because it doesn't fit in with Annie's present pet Frisky and asks him about Megan; she steals his hairbrush for a DNA test without telling him about is, and brings it and Sean's razor the lab, which announces a margin of error just under 1%. At a new visit, Russo tells Christian she's not aborted - they intend to come to 'realistic' terms. Henry is hyper-stressed, confused and preparing to tells Cara the truth, to Matt's horror. Julia comes tell Christian the test result, but Gina is still there and blurts out her arrangement, so she doesn't tell him, yet hopes he'll be a good father ...

Antonia Ramos
The plastic surgeons operate a Latino woman with bad breast implants, but find out these are just a customs deception devised to turn would-be immigrants into couriers by their spooky acquaintance, Colombian drug baron Eduardo Escobar, who forces them to 'harvest' more of those cocaine packages, in addition to paying him a fortune they can't raise so fast, even selling precious assets. At the same time nymphomaniac Gina Russo bleeds Christian financially and emotionally in the name for her/their baby. Meanwhile Julia is the only member of her Pilates class that doesn't blackball Sophia, the transsexual.
Escobar Gallardo
The surgeons are still forced to harvest drugs from breast implants for Colombian cartel monster Escobar Gallardo.

Sean buys a gun, but is unable to shoot Escobar, who offers him one way out: operate him a whole new identity. Mr. Parks' damage lawsuit puts Bobolit out of business, the partners back on the map. Escobar is surgically transformed into Mr. Armand Otiz; four months later he finds out the face is that of a real wanted criminal, Jorge Barco, when the FBI arrests him.

Nip/Tuck Season Two

Erica Noughton
Julia McNamara gets a surprise visit from her glamorous mother, successful child psychology author Dr. Erica Noughton, who has various reasons to want plastic surgery and insists that Sean should operate her; that even worsens his worries about an unsteady hand, and the specialist tells him it's a fashionable psychosomatic condition without a medical cure. Christian wrestles with his instincts- while resenting Gina Russo emotionally blackmailing him with her halfbreed baby, he is determined to become a good father, but swears to keep his mundane (sex-)life, so he looks for a nanny and hires Linda, the candidate with the sexiest 'fringe-benefits', but finds she's neglecting the child... Meanwhile the doctors operate on Libby Zucker, whose face is so horrible she'll need at least five major, risky operations and is most uncertain in her 'steady' relationship with attractive Chad Myers who she knows to have affairs.
Christian Troy
Christian was enjoying sex with a young model, but an allergy caused her to sneeze so her butt crushing down broke the Casanova's killer face's nose, which must be operated. Sean hoped his anxiety was over after mother in law Erica Noughton's operation, but it suddenly returns during pro bono surgery on Mr. Unger, who nearly gets butchered. Matt is interrogated after the police arrested his mate Henry in the Cara case; he denies to know anything. After a visit from Henry's shocked father, Sean suspects the truth, but Matt still denies any part in the car hit. In Dr. Monica Jordan's waiting room, Christian meets adolescent patient Calvin Murray, who says his third nipple prevents any sex life, agrees a male doctor is less embarrassing, and is eager for the gorgeous girls in Dr. Troy's waiting room. When Sean finds out Christian booked another surgeon and attacks him, he gets reminded of his list of grave errors and looses confidence again, handing the scalpel to Christian for the nipple job. Erica explains to Julia how parents, unable to accept their own failing, unconsciously transfer their ambition to their children, who thus come under excessive stress, which probably caused Matt and Henry to go overboard. Then Sean tells her his nervous disaster. Christian cheerfully stripped for Dr. Jordan who was to check him for melanoma, but was told his love handles need preventive action at age 40; to re-boost his self-confidence, he demands his next 'ride' to call him sexy, but even Gina finds that too weird and tells him he's becoming as ugly outside as inside. Henry tells Matt at a prison visit the incessant pressure was what got to him, he snatched when Cara rejected him and now fears to be raped in jail. Frustrated he operates on his own nose in front of the mirror- now he realizes and Sean sees what a shaky second can do to a surgeon; terrified Sean must fix the face of their common future, without general anesthetic so the patient can verbally assist and boost his confidence, which works.
Manya Mabika
Manya Mabika, a Somalian model, wants the surgeons to give her an orgasm by reverting her traditional female circumcision as a girl, even if the experimental technique for an artificial clitoris is highly unreliable. Macho Christian proves a far better 'parent' for Wilbur then his nymphomaniac mother Gina; when he refuses to have a baby with her, she uses Wilbur as blackmail leverage. Sean and Julia have good sex, but he cannot accept she doesn't get an orgasm. Patient Elias Perri has absolutely no body-hair, and is pushed by his life-coach, Ava Moore, to try a donor-hair transplant to erogenous zones. Sean makes an appointment for Julia with Ava, who gets into a row on the value of therapy with Julia's mother, Dr. Erica Noughton. Once she has her fake clitoris, Maniya asks Dr. Troy to be her 'true healer' in bed- when she gets no orgasm, he insists with Sean to revise her clitoris, but all it really takes is a lesson in female self-pleasing by Liz. Christian is shocked to find Gina has Sexaholics lined up for 'hetero-insemination' to give Wilbur a sibling.
Mrs. Grubman
As Julia and Sean's daughter, Annie, faces puberty, they must both face the harsh realization of maturity and deal with their own issues about getting older. When Gina tells Christian he can no longer be involved in Wilbur's life, Christian is forced to reach out to an old flame in order to build a case to gain sole custody of Wilbur.
Joel Gideon
Now both biological parents have teamed up to demand the court full and exclusive custody over 'his' baby, Christian Troy is ready to throw in the towel- but for once worst-mother-ever Gina Russo motivates him positively, so they still engage the probably hopeless legal fight. While holding and talking on his cell phone while he is driving at the same time, Sean McNamara causes a serious car accident, but without serious harm, except that his attitude towards life is shocked. He now wants to taste life to the full, and first accepts an offer to earn a luxury car by advising crash dummy tests with a corps; next he seeks adventure, but when he goes as far as to encourage Matt, who shows still to love him as his daddy, to eat a potentially lethal sushi in a Japanese restaurant, Julia walks out with his offspring. Joel Gideon is a patient whose love of danger in mountain-climbing caused him to get such bad frost bite that a facial zone including his nose is now dead tissue, and is determined to return to the same mountain after his reconstructive surgery.

Bobbi Broderick
Roberta 'Bobbi' Broderick, a ripe lady, wants plastic surgery to compete with younger women for her dream job, selling clothes. Julia sends Matt for therapy to life coach Ava Moore, but she abuses trust games to seduce the teenager; uncle Christian must bail him out after jerking off outside her window; she won't be told off, threatens to disclose he's the biological father and demands free botox. Allegra Calderello has her burned lips replaced by skin from the homonymous part of her vagina, provided her old-fashioned Sicilian husband thinks it's from another organ.
Naomi Gaines
Dissatisfied ex-liposuction-patient Bobbi Broderick scares others away even right in the doctors's waiting room, demanding a public admission on TV, or she'll sue them. Life coach Ava Moore 'professionally motivates' Matt between the sheets, to the anger of her own, allegedly jealous, also 16-year old son Adrian, who she regrets not to have aborted. Sean and Julia are not amused when Matt sets off the brand new alarm, sneaking in at night after 'studying together with Adrian' they didn't even know existed. Serial raper-mutilator 'the Carver' sends the doctors both patients, now model Naomi Gaines, and scary packages. Christian decides to offer his alternative pro-bono story to bitch Bobbi's journalist, Andrea Hall, who happily lands in his bed before she even knows his professionally relevant name and succeeds. When the McNamaras invite the Moores for dinner, Adrian sort of hints at the truth and kisses startled Matt in the kitchen, then blurts it out after Ava lies never to have denied him anything; Julia throws the child-rapist out. Bobbi now promises a class-action law-suit, but after Naomi sides with the doctors admits she herself did everything wrong, even missed her job interview on purpose. When Matt goes break up with Ava, she tells him about Julia's infidelity; finding ma searching his room 'you'll have to earn your privacy now' he makes her confess Christian sired him, but when Sean walks in doesn't tell but falls in daddy's arms after confessing his just ended relationship with Ava.
Agatha Ripp
The doctors accept to operate pro bono the whore Agatha Ripp, who claims her greatest sin was to have inflicted stigmata to herself and asks them to convince St. Olav shelter and the parish they are fake. The surgeons must reassure pregnant Liz and Julia, who even gets psychosomatic shingles. When the news lands them with a baby's congenital caudal appendix, also pro bono, Sean fails to convince the archdiocese's Father Maley Agatha can't have miraculous stigmata. While still recovering from the operation, Agatha gets unexplained new ones, now claiming they're real but she doesn't want them and the blood is not hers. When Julia tells him Christian is Matt's father, Sean is shattered, furious, throws her out and attacks his partner. Liz also has shattering news for Christian.

Then Agatha Rose and Raven Rosenberg
After finding out Christian and Julia are Matt's biological parents, Sean is hell-bent to dissolve his partnerships with both, despite professional advice it would be utter disaster for the surgery. Matt and Sean remain tight as son and dad. The doctors still fly together for what is now likely to be their last case, a historical pro bono multi-disciplinary operation: the oldest Siamese twins ever separated, teenage sisters Rose and Raven Rosenberg, who are joined at the forehead. Neither dreamed of being alone, but it's necessary to give one sister chemotherapy. Having to share a dorm room makes the partners reminisce their past and complementarity. Julia's "I gave everything up for you" routine has lost all effect on Matt, who feels no connection with her and even returns to Ava, so she calls the 'fathers', but neither wants to make sonny study hard now. The operation kills Raven, Rose seems to have lost the will to live and dies too. Sean hits the Scotch and pays prostitute Renée for a threesome with 'Julia' and Christian, the one thing they never quite shared. Only now, mother Rosenberg admits neither girl wanted to survive alone; the sisters are re-joined posthumously. The sole survivor is- the surgeons' partnership, Sean has come to his senses.
Kimber Henry
Ike Connors is a unique client: he is an author who writes books about extreme experiences, and his newest book contract is for the experience of having breasts, which the plastic surgeons must create, just like his wife's, whose mastectomy made them aware how important boobs are for the female (self-) image. Sean is ready to continue working with Christian as they need each-other business-wise, but won't consider forgiving or understanding Julia to any degree, so he doesn't want her to disturb daughter Annie's routine. Christian's ex, actress Kimber Henry, has finally become a porno starlet and consults the doctors to correct the vagina on a sex doll after her image which should be a financial goldmine; Sean takes the prototype home and has sex with both the silicon - and the natural versions. After his operation was a success, Ike changes his mind because of the pain and as it feels lesbian, to his wife's fury. Julia picks up a non-local businessman Roger in a bar, but he is a masochist who took her for a hooker; now Sean rescues her but returns straight to Kimber's doll.
Natasha Charles
Natasha Charles is an unusual patient- her whole body is attractive, but since birth her eyes are blind, covered with a 'scary' white-blue membrane, as Christian puts it when she asks him to make her attractive to him, so the doctors operate to implant artificial eyes from an expert. Afterward Christian follows her when he hears she has an Internet date, finds out that's a blind man who still asks him whether she's attractive and even dumps her when he lies she's much older; so he's happy to fill in and enjoys sex with a woman who can't be after his gorgeous body. Meanwhile Sean remains merciless on Julia, who has her breasts enlarged by a female surgeon and gets unwanted visitors- lice on Annie's head from some classmate and her own mother Erica, who tries in vain to make Sean and Christian do an intervention with Julia and rushes off again to another lecture; when Sean is unmoved by her improved balcony she overdoes her painkillers and has a bad fall trough a glass wall...
Julia McNamara
Now Julia McNamara has crashed trough a glass wall after having OD'ed out of frustration with her shattered family since Sean knows Matt isn't his biological son, she is dreaming an alternative reality, where just about everything is different and everyone plays an amended part, e.g. Christian Troy is a loyal husband- and still it is far from perfect for her.
Oona Wentworth
Christian and Sean discover a maid's horribly mutilated forehead is the result of the systematical sale of 'Bobotox', a scandalous 'cheap Botox', by their former associate Dr. Merril Bobolit, who is now a drug addict; Christian gets him into addicts anonymous, where he falls in love but is rejected as a loser. Matt sees how Adrian Moore helps himself to lots of opiates from his mother Ava's stock, to sell to school kids, hiding it in his jacket; the boys fight, and the bitter old lady principal won't budge for Ava's threats or Christian's offer to donate to the school, but accepts plastic surgery. Shortly after, Adrian urinates in a soap dispenser at school just before Matt will use it, but innocent school mate Trevor Hayes suffers the same fate- his parents demand punishment, and since Matt doesn't rat, Sean, who has claimed his parental role back from Christian, makes him come straight from school to his office 'for meaningless chores'. Ava punishes Adrian by giving all his clothes to her Salvadorian new toy-boy, Alfonso Tehon Jr. Now Bobolit and his lay partner, a massage parlor owner gone bust, even operate, but the patient dies; they plan to dispose of the cut-up corpse; Christian accidentally finds out and is knocked out and strapped down, about to have his face 'stolen' by the madman, who fortunately passes out trying to operate on himself simultaneously. Matt uses his surgery chores to make up with Sean. Adrian and Ava make up and pass straight to incestuous kissing.
Trudy Nye
Because of the loud music Christian's blind girl friend Natasha Charles notices nothing when two brats first moon her and then steal half of his sports car while she's waiting in it for him to return from the video store. Ava Moore continues to exasperate Adrian. Kimber Henry believes a palm reader that prolonging her hand lines can improve her faith and is angrily embarrassed when Julia and her date Kevin Hodgekiss greet Sean and her in the restaurant where the then couple celebrated Valentines day last year; in bed Sean promises her the absurd operation. Trudy Nye has the doctors repair her nose, broken 13 years ago by her about to be released from jail abusive husband Stan, who semi-accidentally killed their five-year old son Tyler for leaving toys all over the house; when the reconciled couple returns to have his face made unrecognizable, Christian refuses any form of complicity. Christian stands in for Sean to operate Kimber, and gets her to have sex there, so Sean can walk in on them end break up with her as he wanted. When Sean and Julia confront Ava about her incest while doing it with Matt, she says Adrian was given up for adoption because of a mental handicap; he runs away. Christian dumps Natasha after she forgave him 'too nobly' for fucking Kimber. Trudy returns to have her newly broken nose fixed, pregnant but denying Stans guilt.
Sean McNamara
Christians hedonistic world comes crashing down when his crazy sex-addicted ex Gina calls him because she has tested positive for HIV, so he fears to be positive too. After confiding into Sean, he gathers the courage to inform his numerous sexual contacts who need to be tested too, including baby Wilbur and his father. Kimber is surprisingly understanding, even tells him he won't be alone and abandoned by everyone. Sean is attacked by a masked unknown, drugged and slashed in the face. Julia helps nurse him but stays with Kevin. It's probably the doing of the madman who attacked a girl at Matts school, and her parents asks him to help personally, which doubtlessly would arouse his utter anger; yet he operates her. Christian visits Gina in a crappy clinic, and finds she's not on the necessary cocktail, lacking health insurance; he can now tell her to have tested negative himself.
Joan Rivers
Joan Alexandra Molinsky asks the surgeons to undo all the plastic surgery she ever had as actress Joan Rivers, being ashamed she started the fashion of plastic surgery, especially to her lovely loving grandson Cooper, and pointing out it's a superb publicity stunt for her and the surgery firm. Ava says even besides Matt in bed, she'll never be happy again as long as people judge her; he proposes to start again in Paris and promises her anti-depression drugs- Christian surprises him stealing and sees trough his pretense it's for him; when he confronts her, she dares him into sexual power play, but he suddenly walks out during a fuck and tells Sean Ava is a male transsexual, which explains his shopping list for Matt who risks irreparable psychological damage if he finds out. The serial slasher's victims seem butchered even worse; it gives Sean nightmare hallucinations, as if talking to Colombian drug mafioso Escobar Gallardo who says he must kill the slasher, so he gets a better security firm. Adrian buys a gutting knife. The surgeons fly to Cara Nelson in Baltimore, searching the only surgeon who could have done a perfect sex change on Ava 17 years ago, pretending she's their patient, and learn her file was passed on to a colleague, retired Dr. Barett Moore, who now breads orchids and tells them Avery Tanner was a pretty gay boy who actually lusted him enough to choose a sex change, but the following marriage was a lie despite Adrian's birth. Julia tries threatening Ava to back off, and learns her price is the finishing touch-vaginal operation, which the doctors give her- with Barett, to her delighted surprise. Afterwards she tells Matt he's a hopeless boy needing a mother and refuses to go to Paris with him. Joan doesn't even like the idea of seeing what her inverse operations idea would make her look like, the computer simulation makes her change her mind- to another face-lift. While Ava is packing to leave alone, Adrian turns up; she fails talking and kissing him into joining her to Paris: being lied to too often, he stabs- himself to death. Matt is welcomed back home, Sean sleeps with a loaded revolver in hand, but the slasher surprises Christian...
