(from ABC's press release) To help Marin get rid of issues that weigh her down, Cash takes her to visit a guru. On the way back down the mountain trail, an arctic cyclone erupts.

Mai and Buzz argue over his first choice of a wife, the engaged Patrick and Annie see her competitive spirit at work, Celia and Dick take their relationship to a new intimacy level, and Sara tells Ben about her mysterious court summons much to the chagrin of wife Theresa -- on the season premiere of "MEN IN TREES," FRIDAY, OCTOBER 12 (10:00-11:00 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network.
