Boston Public Season 3 Episode 10

Anne Archer plays willful and sultry Patricia Emerson, whose daughter Becky is a student in an English class taught by Colin Flynn. At a home-tutoring session for Becky, Mrs. Emerson comes on to Flynn. It’s an attempted seduction that really heats up when Emerson—who says she’s related to the poet-essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson—begins interpreting Emily Dickinson’s “”The Sea”” for him as a poem rich in sexual metaphors. Elsewhere, Winslow’s basketball coach denies charges that he illegally recruited a star player—who’s enamored of Harper’s daughter.
