A woman inherits a Napa Valley winery from her estranged father, but learns that the competition is fierce in this drama featuring Christopher Lloyd. Wendy and her father hadn't spoken for years when she learns that he has died and left her the Chateau Meroux. Yet despite the winery's location on one of America's top Viticultural counties, the Chateau Meroux is in danger of closing its doors. When amiable local Chris offers to school Wendy in the art of wine-making, it starts to look as if she's finally gaining ground against her fierce rival Nathan, who has been relentless in his efforts to drive her out of business. But it all starts to fall apart when Wendy learns that Nathan is Chris' father, and begins to view their relationship in a new light. Meanwhile, Wendy begins looking inward for the answers to all of her most pressing questions. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

When the lone survivor of the original excursion to The House on Haunted Hill dies under suspicious circumstances, her sister returns to the foreboding mansion to solve the mystery of her sibling's death in the feature directorial debut of former make-up special effects artist Victor Garcia (Hellboy). Back in 1931, malevolent doctor Richard Vannacut and his entire staff at the hilltop asylum were killed when the patients revolted and set the institution ablaze. Ever since then, rumors have persisted that the spirits of those consumed in the inferno still haunt the hospital. Those rumors seemed to be confirmed when, in 1999, billionaire Steven H. Price and his guests were viciously slaughtered in the refurbished mansion. Though the authorities officially blamed Price himself for the gruesome massacre, survivor Sarah Wolfe insists that there was indeed a supernatural element at play. Now, eight years have passed since that fateful night, and Sarah's sister Ariel - a successful editor at a popular men's fashion magazine - has just received word that Sarah has committed suicide. Immediately sensing foul play, Ariel's suspicions are confirmed when a strange book arrives in the mail shortly thereafter. Sent by Sarah just before she died, the book proves to be Vannacut's personal diary. According to the diary, which Ariel manages to translate with a little help from archeologist Richard Hammer, an ancient Baphomet idol is hidden somewhere deep within the sprawling estate. In her last days, Sarah had become convinced that the idol was the source of the house's evil. Richard, too, shares this belief, and with the help of graduate students Michelle and Kyle he is determined to find the idol. But Ariel isn't about to go on a ghost hunt in the same mansion where so may atrocities have occurred, at least not until she is kidnapped by Desmond Niles and his vicious band of mercenaries. They too seek the Baphomet idol, and they too will soon discover why few people who venture into the former asylum ever come out alive. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

(Linda Lavin) guest stars as Sophie Cohen, mother of Newport lawyer Sandy Cohen (Peter Gallagher) and grandmother -- or "nana" -- of Seth Cohen (Adam Brody). Arriving at her son's house with some sad news for Passover, Mrs. Cohen has a galvanizing effect on Seth's girlfriend, Summer (Rachel Bilson), who is worried that "Nana" will hate her on sight. Elsewhere, Jimmy (Tate Donovan) draws closer to Hailey (Amanda Righetti), and Marissa (Mischa Barton) goes into hiding after finding out the truth about Julie (Melinda Clarke) and Luke (Chris Carmack). ~ Rovi

The impending marriage between Caleb (Alan Dale) and Julie (Melinda Clarke) affects different people in different ways at the O.C. Having been asked to be maid of honor, Caleb's daughter Kirsten (Kelly Rowan) helps organize the wedding shower with Julie's daughter Marissa (Mischa Barton). Angered by recent events, Marissa schemes to spoil the wedding by inviting a most unwelcome guest. And Julie's ex-husband, Jimmy (Tate Donovan), ends up in a ticklish situation with Kirsten's wild sister, Hailey (Amanda Righetti). Elsewhere, Seth (Adam Brody) has an uncomfortable meeting with Summer's (Rachel Bilson) father, and Theresa (Navi Rawat) seems curiously anxious to avoid Ryan (Ben McKenzie). ~ Rovi

When this final episode of The O.C.'s first season originally aired in May of 2004, producer Josh Schwartz refused to reveal any plot details, though he made a tantalizing promise: "I think people will be upset, but they won't be disappointed." As expected, most of the episode is taken up with the wedding of gold-digging Julie Cooper (Melinda Clarke) and scheming Caleb Nichol (Alan Dale). However, there is still time aplenty to deal with other major plot developments -- not least of which is Theresa's (Navi Rawat) announcement that she is pregnant, and that Ryan (Ben McKenzie) is possibly the father. ~ Rovi

Flamboyant Hailey Nichol (Amanda Righetti) finds out the hard way that she is not entirely welcome in the Newport home of her sister, Kirsten (Kelly Rowan), and brother-in-law, Sandy (Peter Gallagher). Seth (Adam Brody) and Anna (Samaire Armstrong) are nervous about revealing their relationship to Summer (Rachel Bilson). And while attending a concert where Rooney is performing, Oliver (Taylor Handley) gets into big trouble; will Ryan (Ben McKenzie) come to the rescue despite Oliver's suspiciously close friendship with Marissa (Mischa Barton)? ~ Rovi

As Valentine's Day approaches, the O.C.ers prepare for a big "Singles" benefit bash. And speaking of singles: Luke (Chris Carmack) may have a new love in his life (or so he thinks); Seth (Adam Brody) acts upon some interesting romantic advice in his dealings with Summer (Rachel Bilson); and newly divorced Jimmy (Tate Donovan) is in for a surprise. The most prominent crisis of the heart occurs between Ryan (Ben McKenzie) and Marissa (Mischa Barton); still hoping that Ryan will forgive her about her episode with Oliver, Marissa reveals her true feelings when Ryan's former Chino girlfriend Theresa (Navi Rawat) shows up to cater the benefit. ~ Rovi

New Year's Eve promises to be a chaotic occasion for the O.C.ers. To start with, Kirsten's (Kelly Rowan) rebellious sister, Hailey (Amanda Righetti), has returned, hell-bent on throwing the wild party to end all wild parties. Meanwhile, Ryan (Ben McKenzie) and Marissa (Mischa Barton) find that their plans to spend a quiet evening at home are threatened by the presence of the redoubtable Oliver Trask (Taylor Handley), who is arranging a New Year's bash of his own. And Seth (Adam Brody), who seemingly lost both Summer (Rachel Bilson) and Anna (Samaire Armstrong) when he was unable to choose between them, gets a surprise visit from one of them for the big midnight celebration. ~ Rovi
