To try to understand the concept, and what drives people to do it, Joel (Rob Morrow) joins Holling (John Cullum) and Chris (John Corbett) on their annual hunting trip. Holling no longer carries a gun, he shoots with a camera, but Chris and Joel, the New York doctor, are armed and ready to go.

After he misses his first opportunity, he convinces the pair to stay until he bags something, and slowly comes around to the thrill of it. But when he’s confronted with the fact that he may have to physically kill the animal with his hands, he changes his tune pretty quick.

While the guys are away Maurice (Barry Corbin) takes over the radio station, and, of course, not everyone enjoys his broadcasts as much as they like Chris’.

A Hunting We Will Go was written by Craig Volk and debuted on 18 November, 1991.

Meanwhile, in town, Ed (Darren E. Burrows) is worried that Ruth-Anne (Peg Phillips) may die soon after he learns that she’s seventy-five, but she reminds him that she’s only as old as she feels. But that’s not going to worry constantly, and share his concerns with the rest of the town. He also wants to organize some gifts and maybe a party. He ends up getting her a very unique gift, and she appreciates all he’s done, but she’s not planning on dying anytime soon.

Both stories are coming-of-age tales in their way, but of course, as all things in Cicely, it’s told in it’s own way.

First broadcast on 9 December, 1991 Get Real was written by Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider.

Things take a turn for the odd (more so than usual) when a bus carrying circus performers (portrayed by Cirque de Soleil) find themselves stranded in Cicely. They seem to have an effect on everyone. Marilyn (Elaine Miles) gets some romance, and Chris is bewitched by the magic.

But while all this is going on, Shelley (Cynthia Geary) and Holling have a fight, when he notices her large feet. Shelley leaves him long enough to sort things out, and figure out that they both really love one another, and they’ll have to accept one another as they are, not as they wish they were.

Joel after finding out where his classmates are and what they are doing decides to knuckle down and develop a new sub-specialty. Maggie (Janine Turner) worries about her future, and love.

Marilyn and Chris’ character pieces are the most enjoyable in the story, and I like to see her getting a little but more attention, and her relationship is something wonderful to watch, and Miles proves she’s a wonderful actor. I love it.

And Chris, well he just continues to be my favorite. And in this episode, he’s not only intrigued by the magic, but there’s also a nice dialogue about quantum physics.
