Speaking of bad parents, this episode gave us an opportunity to get to know Olivia (Portia de Rossi) a little better. First of all, I gotta say that de Rossi and Joely Richardson would make a striking couple. Also, their combined body weight would still probably not top out at more than 200 pounds. Them's some slender lesbians! Olivia is quite fond of PDA, while Julia seems to be a little more hesitant about displaying their love. This led Liz to speculate that Julia isn't truly gay but just experimenting. I agree. She just seems so uncomfortable with Olivia. Christian even tried to seduce Julia back to heterosexuality, but she at first rejected his advances. To be fair, it might have been her dislike of Christian's newfound love of man necklaces. I'm not sure which is more of a turnoff: men who wear jewelry or hot tub diarrhea. Kind of a toss-up.
Finally, Julia and Christian did sleep together, completely catching me off guard. It was like a car accident I couldn't turn away. But thankfully Julia told Christian that she only slept with him to get it out of her system. And it was Olivia's idea! That Olivia is one sneaky bombshell. But I love her! How are they going to keep her in the mix if she and Julia go back to New York? I guess at least we'll still have Eden around, since Annie will be going to the same school as the seductress.
I have to say that the episode kind of went out on a bizarre note: Christian ended up in a bar, being approached by an older woman named Valerie who thought he was a male escort. She paid him to sleep with her, which, of course, he did. But the whole thing seemed a little too easy. Is he really going to start moonlighting as a gigolo?
What did you think of last night's Nip/Tuck? Are Julia and Olivia going to stay together? Are you looking forward to seeing Rosie O'Donnell next time? And which other characters from previous seasons would you like to see return?
