*** This review may contain spoilers ***

This episode is noteworthy for being the first in which a couple of recurring characters appear. They are "Adam" who is played by Adam Arkin and "Bernard Stevens," played by Richard Cummings Jr. A very magical episode with possible influences from Shakespeare's "Midsummer Night's Dream." Each character goes on a journey or experiences a crisis. Joel (Rob Morrow) must visit a forest ranger, braving the woods that are supposedly haunted by Bigfoot--who turns out to be named Adam. Meanwhile, Chris (John Corbett) feels compelled to build a curious sculpture and is visited by a stranger who has way too much in common with him. They find that they have a shared history despite never having met before--Bernard is Chris's long lost brother!
