A FIRE-BREATHING DRAGON IS JUST THE BEGINNING OF ELI'S PROBLEMS, ON ABC'S "ELI STONE"

"Heal the Pain" - THURSDAY, MARCH 13 (10:02-11:00 p.m., ET), on ABC's "Eli Stone," Eli adjusts to his new position at the law firm without an office, a secretary or the ability to try cases himself -- all in the same week that he's being chased by a fire-breathing dragon. The dragon fly-bys prompt him to take the case of a 15-year-old boy whose mother was killed by the medical malpractice of a DR. Agon.

Unfortunately, Agon used to work at the same hospital where Eli's brother, Nathan, is employed -- the hospital that Eli must sue. Making matters even worse is the fact that Jordan assigns Maggie as lead counsel and Eli has to follow her instructions. The roll-reversal, ironically, brings them closer together -- a fact not lost on Taylor, who tries to reconcile with Eli through a surprisingly live performance by none other than... special guest star George Michael.

"Eli Stone" stars Jonny Lee Miller as Eli Stone, Victor Garber as Jordan Wethersby, Natasha Henstridge as Taylor Wethersby, Laura Benanti as Beth, Loretta Devine as Patti, Sam Jaeger as Matt Dowd, James Saito as Dr. Chen, Matt Letscher as Nathan Stone and Julie Gonzalo as Maggie Dekker.

Guest stars include George Michael as himself, Tom Amendes as Martin Posner, Jason George as Keith Bennett, Patrick Breen as Paul Sweren, Steve Harris as Jayson Turk, Allen Lulu as Frank, Kenny Baumann as Peter Johnson, Barbara Tarbuck as Betty Johnson, Tom Lenk as WPK assistant, Greg Christopher Smith as Ball Player #1, Cleo King as Deborah Brehe, Jodi Long as Judge Phelps, Bruce French as Terrence Snyder, Robert Noble as Judge Teufel, Jean Louisa Kelly as Julie Lazer, Ron Butler as Jury Foreman and Kevin Kilner as Dr. Agon.

"Heal the Pain" was written by Alex Taub and Moira Walley-Beckett and directed by Sandy Smolan.
