Eli Stone Heartbeat

Season 1,  Episode 10 | Original Airdate: April 03, 2008

The firm is taking on the "Asbury divorce case," and Taylor picks Maggie as her second chair in order to avoid Matt. Matt keeps hitting on Taylor, who tells him that she can"t date him with the both of them working for her dad and all. When Matt ends up working with Jordan on some grunt work, and when Matt "hypothetically" asks how Jordan would feel about him pursuing Taylor, Jordan says he would "hypothetically" crush said person, which: hee. Jordan also "hypothetically" tells Eli about Taylor and Matt, and Eli freaks out on Taylor, and there"s a whole brouhaha with Eli, Taylor, Matt, and Maggie, and also Maggie"s engaged and Taylor and Jordan have words and there"s a really, really Smurfy ending to the Asbury case and whatever. Matt, however, totally calls Taylor out on having feelings for him, which, since I love him, is awesome. In more interesting news, Eli wakes up in a stranger"s apartment with a strange nurse -- and realizes he"s inhabiting his brother"s body. The vision is from over ten years ago, but that"s not the biggest problem for the Stones, as Nate is getting sued. Turns out he bumped a woman down on the heart transplant list who ended up dying, and her husband is just the teensiest bit miffed about that. Eli"s visions of himself as Nate, however, have some big significance -- he gets to see what Nate saw on the day their father died. As it happens, Eli was studying for the bar exam right then, and didn"t come home, so he has no idea what happened. Nate gets accused of giving the woman"s heart away because she had a drinking problem, and Eli wonders if it might be true, given their dad"s addiction. But he learns that his father didn"t die from a drunk-driving accident, but in fact had a heart attack, and could have been saved by a heart transplant, which was available -- but Nate passed the heart on to someone else. Nate turned it down because his dad was an alcoholic with a bad liver, and Eli agrees with his reasoning. Nate also, it seems, finally, FINALLY, gets it in his head that Eli"s visions are for real -- and also tells Eli that it was the woman herself who decided she didn"t want the transplant. The Stones win, of course, and Nate finally, FINALLY, tells Eli that he shouldn"t have the operation to remove his aneurysm, because something amazing is happening to him. And speaking of amazing, in the last scene, Eli-as-Nate tells his dad that his family is okay, and his dad in turn tells Eli -- not Nate, but Eli -- that he"s sorry. I"ll go into a lot more detail in the recap, but for now: SNIFF!
