Every week, this show gets closer and closer to becoming a soft-core porno film. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing because this quasi-porn, unlike the real deal, has an unbelievable story line. If there were ever an episode to sell you on why getting into this show is worth your time, then this was the one. It's television crack and I'm a full blown addict.

Christian consults and operates on our title character, Abby Mays. She wants to feel beautiful and with the current shape she's in, that isn't going to happen. Keep in mind that Christian is still dealing with the fact that Kimber ditched(?) him at the aisle and this leads to a very well done scene, reminiscent of the first time he met Kimber in the pilot episode. Christian has Abby strip down to her lingerie and, using bright red lipstick, he marks her entire body with the areas that need work. However, a side of Christian we haven't seen in a while (remember when he dumped Natasha in season two?) comes out, and he's incredibly demeaning to Abby. He describes certain parts of her as "cottage cheese" and "mud flaps." When he's done, he refers to her body as a roadmap to hell while noting that her face is a lost cause. As disturbing as the verbal abuse was, what's bothersome is that Abby takes it and seems to relish it. After the surgery, Christian invites Abby over. They go at it, but Christian makes her wear a paper grocery bag over her head. The sex is rough and Abby cries, but later she admits they weren't tears of pain but rather of joy because she had her first orgasm.

While Christian is rediscovering his not so sensitive side, Sean and Quentin are having a full on war with each other. Q has been getting freaky with Julia, and this doesn't rest so well with Sean, because he knows Quentin is bi-sexual. Remember at the frat party, when both of them were in the same room getting a little oh-la-la when Quentin started winking at Sean? Anywho, the two of them are operating on a soldier returned from Iraq - the left side of his face is full of shrapnel. Post operation, Quentin examines the patient and he ends up receiving an examination of his own as the soldier shows Quentin how to, um... reconnoiter and survey a dark cave? Sean walks in and sees what's going on, but he slips out quietly to go warn Julia to make sure she has plenty of condoms. She does have plenty and apparently she gives lots of them to Matt who does nothing except play naked Olympics with Ariel in his room all day. They're in love, but between all the sex, do they have the time to be committing the hate crimes that have been occurring all of a sudden?

The last ten minutes were just about as good as it gets. Quentin makes on offer to Sean and Christian - buy out his contract for half it's worth. Sean eagerly agrees and, after the papers are signed, Quentin tells them he already as a new job as the plastic surgeon in residence at Julia's spa. This may put a damper on the business agreement they had going. Abby comes back to see Christian in her office. She wants to see him again and claims she's a masochist and Christian is a textbook sadist. Like two stray Legos in a sea of Lincoln Logs, they're a perfect fit. He tells her to come by his place again at nine.

Then everyone's speculation finally gets confirmed. Christian receives a Dear John letter from Kimber, so it looks like she left him... but then it happens. The scene cuts to a dark room, cement floors, with Kimber sitting on a ratty blanket. She's still wearing her wedding gown and she's bloody as she writes the letter that Christian now reads. Then a freight elevator comes into view and the Carver steps off it. He approaches Kimber and we see her face - butchered as we've seen the Carver do before. He flicks on his creepy voicebox and asks Kimber for the letter as it cuts back to Christian crying. It's safe to say we know what kind of tears those are.
