YES! I was so happy that he didn't wuss out.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Not in TV terms. In TV world, he's supposed to cave and tell the truth and believe his dad, who then has a hard time handling it but then handles it okay. For a sympathetic character to sit down on something so horrible, something he tried to hide and smooth over, I thought it was different.

Sean's kid was involved in a hit-and-run where he (I think he may have been driving) hit a schoolmate and left her for dead in a ditch. When they found out she survived (with amnesia), he convinced his dad to do free plastic surgery on her and became her friend. The friend with him during the accident got completely messed up with guilt and channelled it in insane ways (converting from Judaism, and eventually falling for and raping the girl). He's in jail for rape, and is trying to get plead temporary insanity caused by the accident, thus implicating our cutie. Who's, in the face of a heartfelt explanation of upcoming compassion from his dad, is flat out lying under oath.

We're talking Nip/Tuck the son of one of the two plastic surgeons (although, he could be the bio. son of Christian and then really, he'd be the son of both of them) who last year was driving while high and ran over a girl from school. Now I cannot remember whether he was driving or his buddy. . . but he convinced his dad to re-construct her face and he did and then Matt and his buddy made friends with her, convinced her that she had forgotten that they were friends before. . . it's an incredible, complicated mess.
