Season 4
Season 4 starts a new chapter after the Carver (Quentin Costa) and his assistant (Kit McGraw) were revealed in the finale of Season 3.
Pregnant Julia learns that there is something wrong with her unborn child - a fact that she keeps from Sean as long as she can.
Sean wants regain his sense of family, but his relationship with Matt grows more distant. The biological son of Christian, Matt is isolated and moody, and he projects his anger towards those who love him the most.
Conflicted about his love for former model Kimber - a stunning beauty who became an adult video star and director when her attempts at a legitimate acting career failed - as well as about his friendship with Sean, Christian seeks the help of a psychiatrist.
Having been kidnapped by the Carver on her way to the altar with Christian and tortured by her abductor, Kimber made it safely back to Christian, only to reject him and his ideals of beauty and perfection.
Now she seeks comfort and safety through spiritual means, and tries to help Matt do the same.
Often the only voice of reason in an otherwise unpredictable environment, bright and caring anesthesiologist Liz , a confident and outspoken lesbian who has earned the respect of her physician colleagues, is tough on the surface, yet she shows warmth and concern for her patients and for Sean and Christian.
In this season, with Christian's help, Liz searches for and finds romance - with tragic results.
Also, Sean and Christian celebrate a milestone surgery, and Julia sells her half of Spa de la Mer.
