Episode Title: Antonia Ramos
Air Date: 14-Oct-2003
Christian and Sean operate on a South American woman with grotesquely huge breasts and discover that she is being used to carry liquid heroin into the U.S. in her implants. Ruthless Colombian drug lord Escobar Gallardo, whom the doctors previously encountered when they created a new face for one of his former henchmen, blackmails them into removing the implants and handing them over. Escobar knows about the dead body that Christian and Sean deposited in the Everglades—and he knows where Sean's family lives. The frightened surgeons must agree to continue performing the operations on poor, misguided young women who want to immigrate to America but end up putting their lives in danger.
Meanwhile, Julia's judgmental classmates at a fitness center object to Sean's transsexual patient Sofia Lopez joining. Julia refuses to sign a petition and, after having a poignant talk in which Sofia persuades her to try staying with Sean despite his affair, staunchly defends Sofia. The wealthy housewives quit the class, forcing it to be canceled, but Julia gains a surprising new friend and confidant in Sofia.
And Christian struggles with unfamiliar paternal instincts when his well-meaning and lonely ex-girlfriend Gina Russo, who is six months pregnant with his baby, continues her reckless lifestyle. Christian sympathetically asks her to move in with him so he can take care of her and his child.
