Plot summary
Maggie's interest is aroused after ex-lawyer Mike Monroe ( Anthony Edwards ) relocates to Cicely. Mike has become hyper-allergic to many man-made substances and lives alone in a geodesic dome in the woods. Joel suspects Mike's condition is psychosomatic. With help from Maggie (and Maurice), Mike introduces himself to the town. Ruth-Anne must also cope with a new addition to the community - her investment banker son Matthew ( Joel Polis ), who has been fired, along with the rest of his department, and is in search of a simpler life. Maurice, however, tempts him with a business startup inspired by Mike's arrival.
