![]() ![]() As he returns home, Liz breaks the news that there were complications, and Kimber is now sterile. The two women bond, since Liz had aborted a previous child created by Christian. With no one else to drive her home, she calls Liz. When that fails, she decides to go for the procedure. Kimber contacts Mike, almost seducing him into a proposal. ![]() He even proposes to her, on the condition that there are no more babies. With Wilber wetting the bed and Jenna becoming a spoiled brat, Christian does not want any more children. On the homefront, Kimber admits to Christian that she is pregnant. Clovis is killed, but the girl’s father admits to Sean that he doesn’t feel satisfied by her killer’s death. The prison doctor denies stitches after Clovis’ surgery, and withholds pain medication the night before the execution, even though the incision is obviously infected. His only hope is that he can outlast Clovis, so he can see justice done before facing his daughter in the afterlife. During Clovis’ fifteen years on death row, the mother has already passed away, and he has a terminal disease. Sean gets a visit from the father of Clovis’ victim. Matt hopes that this will save Sean and Christian from further guilt. But when Sean and Christian arrive to pick him up, he lies about the conversation, saying that Clovis bragged about the killing, and said he would do it again.

Christian bargains for a full pardon for Matt, but Sean has ethical issues in prepping a patient for death. Scheduled for death by lethal injection, the prison doctors are concerned that Clovis’ obesity will interfere with the chemicals used, making the procedure more painful and inflicting “cruel and unusual punishment”. The DA office comes to McNamara/Troy with an offer to reduce Matt’s sentence if they will perform liposuction on Wesley Clovis. Some are obvious (the buried jailhouse confession, Clovis strapped down in a Christlike pose), but the overall irony of the plot becomes the most powerful tool. Make no mistake…The death penalty is condemned here in as many ways as the writing staff can dream up. While you can’t call this a “very special episode” of Nip/Tuck, it’s clearly the most political stance the show has taken. Sean: “You trying to convince me or yourself?” ![]()
