Eden Lord

Eden Lord is a fictional character in the fifth season of the series "Nip/Tuck", portrayed by AnnaLynne McCord.

Eden is the daughter of Julia McNamara's new lover, Olivia. She made her first appearance in 5.03. After a consult seeking to reconstruct her hymen, she begins to make strong sexual advances towards Julia's ex-husband Sean. He responds in disgust, calling her a "disturbed sociopath". He later finds himself having sexual fantasies about her. Sean soon becomes unnerved when he learns his 12-year-old daughter Annie has developed an admiration for her. However, Eden appears to be more interested in manipulating and corrupting Annie than forming a friendship. She manages to convince Annie she is over-weight and advises her to get liposuction. After Sean forbids it, Annie is expelled after Eden teaches her about oral sex, which Annie then uses on the boy she likes. [Nip/Tuck 5.04]

Eden then blackmails Sean's friend and business partner Christian Troy and threatens that she will tell Sean he slept with Sean's wife Julia. At first, she wants Christian to operate on one of her friends but she then asks for a liposuction. Instead, Christian gives her several prescription diet pills only to tell Eden's mother she stole them from the office. She is sent to a rehab center for six weeks, swearing she'll take revenge [Nip/Tuck 5.05] . When she comes back she claims she has been attacked in rehab and has Christian and Sean operate on her arm. After failing to tear everybody apart by revealing the affair and Sean's attraction to her, she shows a more vulnerable side and Sean engages in a short-lived affair with her. [Nip/Tuck 5.06] In the Christmas episode, Eden gets Julia to eat a fruitcake that has been laced with a vial of mercury. Julia becomes increasingly unwell, suffering from frequent nosebleeds, fatigue and hair loss. While Julia is ill, Eden also goes into the pornography business with Kimber Henry. Following Julia's discovery of the cause of her sickness, Eden claims that she will turn herself over to the police, only to retrieve a handgun and shoot Julia in the head. It is revealed in the season finale that Julia has survived but has lost all memory from before the shooting.
