Everwood

After the death of his wife, Dr. Andrew "Andy" Brown (series star Treat Williams) trades his career as a world-renowned neurosurgeon for an opportunity to be a better parent and move his two children, 9-year-old Delia (series star Vivien Cardone) and 15-year-old Ephram (series star Gregory Smith) to Everwood, Colorado. The sudden shift is hardest on Ephram, who resents all the years his father lavished on his career at the expense of his family. When Andy opens a free medical clinic for the citizens of Everwood, people think that he is crazy, but a local woman, Edna (series star Debra Mooney), quickly applies for a job as his nurse and office manager. Edna's son, Dr. Harold Abbott, the only other doctor in town, is disturbed by the competition and forbids his children, 15-year-old Amy (series star Emily VanCamp) and 17-year-old Bright from associating with the Brown family. Traditions transform overnight for the residents of Everwood, as recounted by the school bus driver, Mr. Irv.

Andy and Ephram's fragile relationship is further strained when it appears that Andy is once again giving priority to his work instead of his family. Meanwhile, as the town of Everwood celebrates its annual Fall Thaw Festival, Ephram's interest in Amy continues to develop, and Delia gets into trouble at school for questioning her teacher's antiquated rules.

Amy is heartbroken--and Ephram is furious--when Dr. Brown decides against performing a risky operation on Amy's comatose boyfriend. Meanwhile, Delia is forbidden from playing with her only friend, Magilla (recurring guest star Bret Loehr), after his parents witness them playing dress-up. And a traveling psychologist, Dr. Trott (Jane Krakowski - "Ally McBeal"), creates an uproar in the Everwood community.
