Distressed by his apparent inability to form an intimate adult relationship, Christian entered psychotherapy with Dr. Faith Wolper (Brooke Shields) — and eventually had sex with her. Dr. Wolper also suggested that Christian's relationship block exists because he is really in love with Sean. During that time Christian begins dreaming about having sex with Sean. She later tells Christian that she is a recovering sex addict, and realized after their tryst that she still had a problem. She then asks him to remove a tattoo an ex-lover had forced her to get as a means of degrading her. Christian eventually realizes the dreams are the result of his own personal identity crisis, and resolves his problems with Sean. He also begins an affair with Michelle Landau (Sanaa Lathan), the wife of McNamara/Troy's new owner. Soon after they meet, Christian suspects her of having a relationship with a woman named James (Jacqueline Bisset) who is smuggling organs out of the clinic. Christian finds out that James is Michelle's former pimp and pays her off to leave Michelle and McNamara/Troy alone.
