Previously on Everwood: There are no previouslies, which comes as no surprise to anyone who saw last week's episode. Anyway. We fade up on a giant close-up of Colin's giant head, as Irv tells us: "They say that patience is a virtue; that good things come to those who wait. Of course, they also say, 'He who hesitates is lost.'" The FUCK? I can't believe Irv made me bust out with profanity this early in the recap. Pan down Colin's body, which is lying on one of them big fancy CAT scan thingies. A nurse's disembodied voice asks Colin if he's all right. He says he is. We see Treat and Colin's dad watching through a window. Treat tells Daddy Hart some medical blah blah about what caused Colin's seizures. Basically, Colin has a big clot in his brain that needs to be removed, but it's a dangerous procedure and might kill him. See how easy that was? Too bad it took Treat seven million words to say the same thing. Daddy Hart isn't sure if they want to do the surgery, because he's also got a brain problem. Treat tells him to talk to Colin and his wife and let him know what they decide. We pan back to Colin as Irv finishes, "Unfortunately, sometimes what looks like patience on the outside is only fear underneath, like so much sheep's clothing wrapped around a very clever wolf." Uh, okay. Poor Irv. I think they just played a trick on him and made him read every other word from an Aesop's fable or some shit. Credits.

Treat's Office. Irv and Feisty Nurse Edna are arguing. Irv says he couldn't change his "time." Edna says a man in his condition can't go alone. They argue all the way into the reception area, where Treat is just coming in. He says, "Sorry, didn't mean to...uh, walk into my own office. Everything okay?" Edna tells Treat that Irv wants to go play "Jeremiah Johnson," fresh from a coronary. Irv says that Everwood has been running a timeshare for this cabin way out somewhere for twenty years, and this is his weekend. He says he just wants to do a little fishing. Edna: "Split some wood. Pull-start a rusty Evinrude. Have a heart attack." We get it, Edna. You're concerned. Now shut it. Edna says she'll just cancel her trip with "Grey Thunder" (hee) and go with Irv. Irv says she'll do no such thing, because it keeps her from being surly the other 363 days a year. Edna says she doesn't see any other alternative. But we do, don't we, Rest Of The World? Why, Treat will go! It could be a Guys' Weekend! It would be fun! Irv tells him that he doesn't mean any offense, but he likes the peace and quiet. Edna cuts in, "It's him or me, Cowboy." Irv begrudgingly tells Treat, "We leave at eight sharp." Edna tells Treat she owes him one. Treat agrees.
