Danger when you taste brown sugar... or wear peanut butter

You can add Melissa Gilbert to the parade of stars from the 1980s that have guest appeared on Nip/Tuck so far this season. Larry Hagman, Kathleen Turner, Richard Chamberlain, Jacqueline Bisset, Brooke Shields, Tracy Scoggins... we haven't seen this many has-beens on board since The Love Boat. Of course you never saw ship Dr. Adam Bricker treating Charo for a bitten off nipple.

You see soldier's wife Shari (Gilbert) was feeling lonely in her little house on the prarie, so she does what any lonely housewife would do. Play some smooth jazz, (oooh, that's nice,) get situated on the bed (yes, feeling good...) take off your top (I like where this is going,) smear some peanut butter on your body (ooh, now that's getting kinky,) then call in the family dog (what what what?)

Playlist: Nip/Tuck - Ep 404

There actually wasn't any smooth jazz played in the episode (the dog/peanut butter scene only explained, not seen.) However, Gotan Project makes another appearance (more times now then Dr. Troy's white ass) along with a couple songs from Bitter:Sweet, who's "The Mating Game" also appeared on last week's Grey's Anatomy (is Nip/Tuck music playing catchup?)

But the two more interesting songs were saved for last. The Stories' "Brother Louie" is played while Christian lets his sexy African-American boss sit in on surgery. The song's interracial subject matter was a bit controversial back in it's day:

She was black as the night;
Louie was whiter than white,
Danger, danger when you taste brown sugar,
Louie fell in love overnight

Meanwhile, Sean comes back to the scene of last week's infidelity and, while stoned on hash brownies (impossible, I might add, as it takes at least an hour to take affect,) watches Monica dance/strip to Animotion's "Obsession," which alludes to her fixation on the good (now bad) doctor.
