After months of self loathing, his brother Evan (who is not exactly serious and responsible) takes him to the Hamptons for a break. While there, Hank prevents its local doctor from making a mistake during a medical emergency. Wealthy resident Boris asks if Hank would consider being the town’s g.p. or concierge doctor, and soon everyone in town begins calling Hank to treat them. He is also approached by a woman named Divya who wants to be his physician’s assistant, but only after meeting Jill Casey, the administrator of the local hospital, does Hank decide to stay, moving with Evan into Boris’ guest cottage. Timothée starred as Luke, a teenage geeky and awkward boy showing some questionable behavior. His run lasted for 4 episodes during seasons 3 and 4. INFORMATIONRated: TV-PG |

It’s time for Carlos Casseras Kuester Von Jurgens Ratinecz’s christening and Boris asks Hank to be the baby’s godfather, a somewhat scary proposition given the recent actions of Boris’s “crazy, murderous” family, as Evan puts it. When Claudette, a cousin from the Von Jurgen side of the family, interrupts the christening proceedings with an olive branch in hand, Boris sends her away. But she’s not giving up so easily. She asks Evan to deliver a mysterious package to Boris at exactly 5pm. Scared as to what the package contains, Evan immediately hands it off to Boris’s security guards, even though he hopes that it’s proof that Claudette comes in peace and not another attempt on Boris’s life.
