DESPERATE ABBY LOOKS FOR DISTURBED AND AWOL BROTHER; OSCAR WINNER SALLY FIELD
RETURNS TO GUEST-STAR - Abby's (Maura Tierney) family nightmare continues when she and her
mother (Oscar-winning guest star Sally Field, "Norma Rae") go in search of her
AWOL brother (Thomas Everett Scott) -- whom she suspects is suffering from serious mental
problems -- and the two women meet at a Midwestern air force base in hopes of preventing

family of patients who are severely struck by a truck driver while building a snowman.
Meanwhile, Corday tries to help the father (guest star Jeff Kober) make a life-or-death
decision while she sympathizes with the troubled Dr. Nathan (guest star Don Cheadle) as he
struggles with his increasing symptoms of his physical handicap. Laura Innes, Goran
Visnjic, Sherry Stringfield and Sharif Atkins also star. TV-14

happiness include a dastardly Duke who demands Satine's favor in exchange for his business
with the club's owner (Jim Broadbent). But the bohemians' code of truth, beauty, freedom
