Description: SEASON PREMIERE
OFFERS DIFFERENT TAKES A LA 'RASHOMON' AS GREENE CONFRONTS FATAL
DECISION; MARY MCDONNELL AND MICHAEL GROSS GUEST- STAR
-- The season premiere offers multiple points-of-view of the same events
a la "Rashomon" as Dr. Greene (Anthony Edwards) ministers to a
sobbing young woman (guest star Jessica Townsend) who was injured during
a confrontational television talk show melee where she learned bitter
family news -- but Greene has to face his own demons when a board of
inquiry investigates the curious death of his serial killer patient.
Meanwhile, a stoic Dr. Carter (Noah Wyle) must attend a family funeral
which reunites him with his detached rich parents (guest  stars
Mary McDonnell, "Dances with Wolves" and Michael Gross,
"Family Ties"). Dr. Benton (Eriq La Salle) keeps a watchful
eye on the recovering Cleo (Michael Michele) while he deals with his
grieving sister's (guest star Khandi Alexander) attempts to cope with
her teenaged son's death. While Greene helps with others injured on the
talk show, he also works on a homeless man (guest star Jefrey Alan
Chandler) who was mugged. A nervous Dr. Weaver (Laura Innes) returns
from her "African" sabbatical and warily waits to see how her
colleagues react. Alex Kingston, Goran Visjnic, Maura Tierney, Paul
McCrane, Erik Palladino and Ming-Na also star.
