With everything in life, there is a season. And they are always changing.  

Maria Wynstone is mostly content with a quiet life at her family's country estate, but as the daughter of a gentleman farmer, she knows that a few bad seasons can make all the difference to one's circumstances. And Maria has had her fair share of bad seasons in Town, to make her never wish to quit there again.  

Arthur Colbourne does not mind the law per se, but an embarrassing bumble in court rattles his confidence to the point where he questions all he's ever worked for. However, when his Uncle Wallace unexpectedly dies and he inherits the estate, Arthur finds himself thrust into a role that he is quite underprepared for, particularly when he meets the daughter of his new neighbour, Miss Maria Wynstone.

Drawn to her quiet charms, Arthur finds himself feeling things he's never experienced before. And when the delightful Miss Wynstone receives startling news about her brother, Gerry, Arthur cannot help but offer his services to help her find the truth of what happened to him. As the hunt for Gerry reaches a critical turning point, both Maria and Arthur are confronted not only for their growing feelings for one another, but also ghosts from their pasts. They must then find a way to move beyond their individual failings, should they want to succeed together.

The sign outside doesn't use the word "eating disorders."

After torpedoing her GPA at UC Berkeley and crash-landing in the ER, Hannah is placed on academic probation and pressured into treatment. The problem is, she's pretty sure she isn't actually sick.

Jess' sons are all off at college now, and her tumultuous modeling career is decades behind her. All that seems to be left are her flaws, and the war she's waged against them since childhood.

If Zoe's parents hadn't found the birth control pills, they might never have figured out their vanishing daughter's second life. But now, she's actually... okay, maybe.

Kai is beyond ready for his surgery, and the excruciating wait for medical clearance is not made easier by the fact that he's the only guy, and only Black patient, in Res.

Everyone in Razia's orbit assumes that, as a registered nurse and new mom, she should "know better." And what sort of mother doesn't do everything to return to her baby?

After 14 years stuck in a revolving door of hospitalization and relapse, Belen is headed for another rematch with her insurance company. If they drop her again, she might be out of options.

Nicole's first year anniversary as a staff therapist is approaching. So is her wedding. Her fiance is losing patience, but she can't help but see herself in one of her most vulnerable clients.

“So you’re… so you’re actually marrying Inej because you love her,” he reiterates.

“No, I’m marrying Inej for the tax incentives,” Kaz repeats, as if Jesper is somehow the stupid one here. “The fact that I love her is entirely separate from the fact that Kerch law favors married partners."

Oliver goes to see the second Triwizard task.

Part II of the Oliver/Cedric Triwizard Trilogy.

Cœur du lion - mon cœur - mon frère, je suis noyé. 

The line between the living and the dead is stretched thin, fragile and breakable like glass; there are ghosts in the stars, ghosts in his head, and everything fades with the dawn. 

They say Regulus is dead. They say Lord Voldemort is fled, a wraith wrapped in smoke. 

They say, they say - but what do normal people know?
