Christian, trying to show that the McNamara-Troy partnership is worth something, tells Sean that he wants him to fix his nose. Gina tells him that he looks hideous, so Christian decides to operate on his nose himself, which goes terribly wrong. Christian and Gina have sex, but she gets upset when Christian tells her that he's imagining the female plastic surgeon instead of her. He consults a rival (female) plastic surgeon across town. Sex gone wrong causes Christian to break his nose, but Christian is worried that Sean's medical condition will keep him from performing the corrective surgery. She gets upset on how Christian can't handle his own responsibilities, and snaps at him for sleeping with her mother. Later that day, Christian is having problems with Wilbur, so he calls Julia to come help him. Christian is having some trouble too - he's slept with Erica, the night of Sean and Julia's wedding. We learn that Chad and the woman were planning on shooting each other, but she couldn't pull the trigger, so Chad was left unharmed.ĭuring Erica's facelift, Sean panics and can't do it. The two are having problems because the woman loves Chad, but Chad doesn't love her in that way, because he's in love with his boyfriend.

They perform surgery on a woman who was shot in the face nine months earlier. Christian tries to convince Sean to have botox, but he refuses (at first). Christian decides to hire a nanny, who he ends up having sex with, and later learns that she is giving the baby drugs to keep it from crying.

Having his own problems with age, he is rejected by a 25-year old at a bar. Meanwhile, Christian is having problems with picky Gina, who is trying to keep Christian away from baby Wilbur, because it isn't his baby. Sean would prefer that Christian do it instead. Erica tells them that she wants a facelift - and she wants Sean to do it. Julia breaks the news to Sean that her mother, Erica, is coming to visit. His body is aging, and he has developed 'the yips', making his performance during surgeries decline.

Sean has just turned 40, and he is already noticing it.
