Nip/Tuck: 2x15

Sean McNamara

Beauty is a curse on the world. It keeps us from seeing who the real monsters are.

Another victim of the Carver shows up to have his face fixed – this time it is a male, who was both raped and carved. They agree to fix him. A local news station does an interview with Sean about the pro bono work on Carver victims. The Carver finds his way into Sean’s home. After Sean gets out of the shower, the Carver drugs him up and has a conversation with him. He slices his right cheek, and tells him that if he fixes another one of his “masterpieces”, he is going to kill him. Julia helps him recover, and Sean tries to win her back – but she reminds him that she is happy with Kevin.

Meanwhile, Gina tells Christian that she is HIV positive, meaning that Christian may be also. He calls his past lovers, including Manya, Erica, and Grace. He visits Kimber on the set of a porn movie, which she is directing. She tells him that she got tested quite recently because she’s in the business, and that she’s clean, which slightly relieves Christian. He has one more call to make – James and Wilbur (now known as Gabriel). They both come to visit, and Christian becomes very emotional. Christian’s tests come back negative, and he visits Gina in the hospital with the good news. He lies down next to her in her hospital bed after a heartwarming conversation, and they fall asleep together.
