Christian and Sean agree to rehabilitate a stalwart, optimistic Somali woman, Manya Mabika (Aisha Tyler), who was genitally mutilated as a girl in her home country. After they surgically rebuild her clitoris, Manya asks the perfectly willing Christian to help her have an orgasm, but even he cannot succeed, causing the doctors to worry that the operation was a failure. However, with some kind words and encouragement from Liz, Manya discovers for herself that she can experience sexual pleasure. Sean and Christian also perform a body hair graft onto a white man who is outraged to learn that the hair came from a black person. Meanwhile, Julia admits to Sean that he no longer pleases her in bed. After meeting with a "life coach," Ava Moore (Famke Janssen), Julia realizes that her visiting mother, domineering Erica Noughton (Vanessa Redgrave, real-life mother of series star Joely Richardson), is making her very tense. Following an unproductive argument about long-festering issues, she orders her mother to leave, which allows Julia to relax and enjoy sex with Sean--she finds it helpful as well to fantasize about Christian making love to her. Also, Christian feels fulfilled by being a "father" and contemplates demanding legal custody of Gina's (Jessalyn Gilsig) baby son. He asks a conflicted Julia to help him raise the boy. (Warner Bros.
