| Summary |
Critically-acclaimed and award-winning drama Masters of Sex returns with season 2. Season one of Masters of Sex received both Golden Globe(R) and WGA nominations and was honoured as one of AFI's Top Ten Television Programs of the Year. The show stars Emmy nominated actor, Michael Sheen (The Queen, Twilight) and hugely popular film and television star, Lizzy Caplan (Bachelorette, Mean Girls) as real-life pioneers of human sexuality, William Masters and Virginia Johnson. Their research started the sexual revolution and took them from a teaching hospital in St. Louis to the cover of Time magazine.The second season sees the return of stars Caitlin Fitzgerald, Allison Janney, Teddy Sears and Annaleigh Ashford, with Emmy-winning comedian and actress Sarah Silverman, taking up a recurring guest role.While Nate and Francine Bombeck's new baby is genetically male, he's born with both male and female sex organs. Though Masters encourages them to take some time to think it over and then he can authorize a surgery to see that the baby can be raised as a male, Nate doesn't want the child to grow up under the cloud of sexual ambiguity and insists that the male organs be removed. In the wake of his showdown with Bombeck, Masters heads to the Chase Park Plaza Hotel where he and Johnson have become regulars posing as Dr. and Mrs. Holden. With the Archie Moore-Yvon Durelle light heavyweight championship boxing match playing in the background, Masters vents his anger with Bombeck as he and Johnson prepare for another evening of sex. When Johnson expresses surprise at his interest in boxing, Masters admits to learning how to box while at boarding school as a way to avoid the bullying he experienced at home. Meanwhile, unbeknownst to Masters, a surgical team is preparing to operate on the Bombecks' son in compliance with his father's demand to make him a girl.
