It has been a few episodes since Eli (Jonny Lee Miller) and Jordan (Victor Garber) started their own firm, and things have been going anything but smoothly since.

With the resolution of Eli's crisis of faith having already come (his reluctance to become a prophet was so last season), "Eli Stone" was in need of a larger story arc

Things are somewhat back to normal in San Francisco on Eli Stone. Eli (Jonny Lee Miller) has the aneurysm (and thus the visions) once more, pretty much everyone thinks he is crazy,

When last we left everyone's favorite heartless lawyer turned defender of the defenseless, he had just undergone an operation to remove a dangerous aneurysm from his brain.

Eli's (Jonny Lee Miller) visions take an odd turn as he learns more about his brother Nate's (Matt Letscher) dark past in this week's marginally entertaining installment of "Eli Stone." Nate is being sued by a widower (played by "Oz" alum Blake Robbins!), who claims that Nate made a biased decision when he passed over the man's wife for a heart transplant.

Eli Stone (Jonny Lee Miller) has had a rough couple of weeks. He was demoted at work, broke up with Taylor (Natasha Henstridge), and effectively pushed away nearly everyone else who was close to him. Oh, and he also decided that he would have surgery to remove that pesky aneurysm, only to discover that the side effects of such a procedure could be disastrous, if not fatal. Sad times in Eli land.

It's Thursday night, so you know what that means? Time for another horrendous episode of "Eli Stone," right? In this wild and crazy world that we live in, it's nice to have something to depend upon. Only this week, ol' Eli decided to throw us a little curveball. This week, the episode wasn't terrible. In fact, it actually bordered on decent. Quite shocking.

Every episode of "Eli Stone" begins with a recap narrated by good ol' Eli (Jonny Lee Miller). The spot changes every episode, and this week Eli starts out by proclaiming his story to be something truly different. If by different, Eli means repetitive and sleep inducing, then he's absolutely right. If that is the case, "Eli Stone" is downright unique.

So much for singing and dancing on "Eli Stone." Eli's (Jonny Lee Miller) visions take a grisly turn this week as this time he gets thrust into the middle of a war zone (seems like WW II). Apparently, the not-so-cryptic message he receives is that he is supposed to rescue a Private Swain and take some ridge. That's all well and good; but no George Michael song? What a gyp.

Meet Eli Stone Eli Stone (Jonny Lee Miller) has a pretty nice life. He is an intelligent, sophisticated graduate of Stanford Law who is one of the top associates at a very successful law firm in San Francisco.
