Nip/Tuck Keeps Shocking Audience

Last night's episode of Nip/Tuck was shocking. After Gina's unfortunate demise a couple of episodes ago and the strange demise of the CAA agent by the crazy-teddy-bear-making-Sean-obsessed-wannabe-agent, I really did not think this show had any boundaries left to cross. But, I was wrong, the writers found another line to cross and cross it they did. This time it is a major taboo. After we see Matt in bed with the young woman from Georgia I was happy that he had finally found a 'normal' girlfriend. That is until she mentioned that she had finally met her 'father'...who just happened to have performed laser treatment on her several days before. Yes, that would be Christian who is blissfully unaware and happy that Matt has found a 'normal girlfriend'. Yikes!!!! Okay, they're half-siblings, but it's still so weird. Ewwwww!!!

On top of all this strangeness, Julia finally realizes that Eden has been slipping mercury into the fruitcake and confronts her. Eden just happens to find Julia's gun and fires a shot at her accuser. Is Julia dead? Will anyone find out that Eden has been poisoning Julia? Kudos to the fearless writers on this show for never ceasing to surprise, and sometimes offend, their audience.
