Dr. Mike (Jane Seymour) faces the breakup of her adopted family when Ethan Cooper (Ben Murphy), father of Matthew (Chad Allen), Colleen (Erika Flores), and Brian (Shawn Toovey), shows up in Colorado Springs. Promising not to desert the kids again, Ethan fills their heads with fanciful stories of a wonderful future in San Francisco -- and the youngsters are inclined to believe him and bid Dr. Mike farewell. Elsewhere, Sully (Joe Lando) finally learns how to ride a horse...sort of. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
