Rosie O'Donnell returned as Dawn Budge for last night's episode of Nip/Tuck, which is fitting given the recent news that she's signed on for a N/T spinoff. Before last night's episode, I was pessimistic about the idea, but seeing her more nuanced second performance made a believer out of me.Playlist: Nip/Tuck - Episode 4.07

O'Donnell's Dawn gets ear-jacked; that is, her ear is cut off (warning: suspend disbelief) in a motorcyle drive-by robbery of an expensive earring Dawn's wearing. To replace her ear, Sean recommends using genetic engineering to grow an ear on the back of a mouse named Vincent. That's for Van Gogh, the painter (Dawn: "I know who Van Gogh is, I bought one for my bathroom. Every time I take a dump now, I feel artistic"). The music played while Dawn is introduced to the mouse is Ekvat's "Babu Amgelo," which is a good example of how music can make a scene funnier.
Elsewhere, The Rolling Stones make another appearance (their fourth song in the last three episodes), contributing "Under My Thumb" to Christian's evil seduction of Kimber. Then, with a knowing wink, Don McLean's "Vincent" is used as the mouse with the same name gives his life for Dawn's surgery.
