Julia is sick

Warning: Spoilers
I love this show, now rewatching it after 10 or more years but - Julia is sick. Underachiever with high self-image, toxic person. And yeah, she wanted to kill her mother.

Perfect execution
JermaineM28 August 2020
I'm only writing this as testament to David Nutter, the writers, and to all those who remember what television was like 2005. It was a good year for medical dramas, House MD, Grey's Anatomy, ER, but only Nip/Tuck was allowed to really cut loose. To had been sitting there, watching this till the end in complete disbelief that you've allowed yourself to be so invested in a fiction, and that this series just pulled off one of the most brilliant conclusions to an episode. What a feeling.

I'm sure there's a long story as to how they got David to direct the episode. May we one day find out.

Hate it and love it

I only hate these episodes because they are a bottle episode in one location, it is not my personal favorite. I do love that the situations reflect their character moral positions they currently are in life. I also do not like the plane crash trope in TV shows but in that case didn't seem over done, episode flowed. Julia left the victim who Christian thought was her mother and her being a dead corpse. Julia comes back home at the end of the episode finding that Erica is laying on the couch.

Lost me!
manipool27 April 2012
Oh man, this show had me until I reached this episode. 1. Christian was a complete and utter a**hole to that patient. Who was that? At least before this he had some redeeming qualities, but in "Sal Perri" that person totally disappeared. 2. The whole situation with Julia was totally unbelievable and absurd. As soon as she thought what she thought had happened to her mother I didn't find it believable. Why? Because the writers didn't have the mother even hint that she might take her daughter's suggestion. 3. Matt's newest girlfriend...what is wrong with that boy? He's a disaster on two legs and makes the most insane choices. Rebellion is one thing, total and complete idiocy is another.

I lost all love for the characters mentioned with this episode, the only one who came out of it okay was Dr. Sean. Now I'm waiting to see if the writers come back to their senses beyond this episode or whether it's as I've read, more ridiculousness and out of character behavior. Maybe shows that have been on a while should just let the fans write the episodes in later seasons, they might be more watchable.
