SOMEBODY DIES.
A young mother is recuperating in a San Francisco hospital when she is suddenly gasping for breath. The call button fails to bring help in time. The hospital’s doctors, some of the best in the nation, are completely mystified by her death. How did this happen?
APOCALYPSE NEARS.
This is not the first such case at the hospital. Just as patients are about to be released with a clean bill of health, their conditions take a devastating turn for the worse. Accompanied by the newest member of the Women’s Murder Club, Yuki Castellano, Lieutenant Lindsay Boxer probes deeper into the incidents. Could these cases just be appalling coincidences? Or is a maniac playing God with people’s lives? When someone close to the Women’s Murder Club begins to exhibit the same frightening symptoms, Lindsay fears no one is safe.
THE 5TH HORSEMAN RIDES.

In Love Smart: Find the One You Want - Fix the One You Got, Dr. Phil tells people who are dissatisfied with their love lives to stop making excuses (All the good ones are taken; I’m too fat/skinny/boring/unpredictable for anyone to love me; I should stick with the relationship I have, I’m not going to do any better) and start taking action!

First though, you need to determine what you want in a partner, plot your course, and get out there and create velocity in your pursuit of a loving connection.

Love Smart explores new possibilities, new places to meet people, including the Internet, and new activities to get involved in where you’ll find interesting people. Or if you are simply looking to rekindle the relationship you are already in, Dr. Phil will tell you how to turn up the flame.
