to reply to your comment... I really don't think he's dead. I really feel that Sean and Christian's relationship is a symbiot around which the whole show is based. One probably can't stand without the other. Other than the obvious ratings ploy of the stabbing itslef, it seems like the writers have set up strong continuing storylines for almost every main character. Julia doesn't remember anything... (and yes, i do agree with you, she couldn't have been simply coerced into amnesia), Eden appears to get off scot free, and of course Sean's stabbing. I almost feel that within the story, all the characters have to forge a new identity, which makes it rather interesting. Probably most interesting of all, there's really no clear indication of where everyone is heading within the story. It's all upside-down now and I'm pretty excited to see where all the pieces will land. You know one thing that bugged me, there was an episode where an elderly dr. claimed to have alien technology implanted in him. Sean and Christian removed an unidentifiable device from his body and then someone who claimed to be his daughter picked him up claiming that he wasn't well. Then at the end of the episode the real daughter comes and asks where he's gone. And then you never hear anything about it again. Might seem insignificant, I guess. Just wondered what you thought about it.
Well yes, obviously Sean can't be dead. I do think you're right that all the characters are at pivotal points in their lives and could all go in some different directions, breathing new life into the series for another season. I just hope that's what the writers are intending to do, and not just use all the shocking happenings to grab our attention and make sure we tune into next season to see what happened. And I'm with you, I thought that alien abduction episode was a very interesting idea, and they could've at least mentioned it again. But I guess in the Nip/Tuck universe where all the characters are so self-involved in their own shaky lives, they just don't always have time to deal with details like aliens and patient liability. lol Thanks for taking the time to reply to me and maybe we can talk again in the future.

I think the story is going back to Miami. Where it all began. And they do a look back on all the past issues. Sean and Julia get back together. Christian will eventually find someone. Kimber will crawl back to Matt. And a house will fall on Eden. It gonna be something of those lines. They have us all so bent on these guys never settling down.
