Alternate Reality Episode: The second season has an episode where Julia dreams what life would be like if she'd married Christian instead of Sean.Aesop Amnesia: Christian consistently 'learning' not to be a selfish, coldhearted monster and immediately forgetting all about his lesson by the time the next episode rolls around, even though it always appeared he had made amends to start a new life the week (or season) before.Primarily because it's such a common procedure for the two main characters, and more bizarre cases were usually the subject of the week. A-Cup Angst: Well, yes, there are several characters who have gotten breast implants on the show due to not liking their old ones, but it didn't happen as often as you might think for a show that focused on plastic surgery.She does it, but the procedure goes wrong and leaves her unable to have kids. Abortion Fallout Drama: Christian tells Kimber that she has to have an abortion because he doesn't want any more kids.Basically, every one of the core characters, and most of the supporting ones, are people you want to reach through the screen and slap at least once per episode.
