Almost all Peter Benton ... this episode focuses on dr. Benton signing up for a."locum tenens," which is when a doctor goes elsewhere to fill in for another doctor. At the last minute, he finds out he's going to a very small southern town. Upon arrival, his rental car breaks down, and he soon learns racism is very much alive in this area. As he meets the woman he's supposed to replace, and starts taking care of the community, you see a personal growth in peter benton. He faces some hatred, even danger, but learns to do his best despite the challenges. When he saves a white boy, the people start coming around. And when he delivers a breach baby, more respect is gained.

To me, this episode takes a cold surgeon and turns him into a better human and doctor. I liked this episode for that.
