Where the Heart Is (1)
Mike receives an emergency telegram from her sister Rebecca -- her mother is gravely ill. Mike rushes to Boston to her mother's side, the Cooper kids in tow, where Dr. Mike and her "roughhewn" children are met with raised eyebrows by Dr. Quinn's own family. While consulting with Elizabeth Quinn's attending physician, Dr. Mike meets a handsome and progressive Doctor, Dr. William Burke. Dr. Mike's prognosis of her mother (hepatitis) differs with Mrs. Quinn's doctor, Dr. Hanson, who diagnoses cancer. Dr. Burke, however, believes Dr. Mike may be onto something. They have a lot in common and develop a strong mutual admiration for each other. They work together to cure Mrs. Quinn and some of Dr. Burke's other patients. Meanwhile, Matthew chafes at being stuck in Boston away from Ingrid, while Colleen appreciates the learned and cultured atmosphere and Brian adores the candy stores. Just when everyone has settled comfortably into the Boston routine, Sully shows up, unannounced and in buckskins, just in time for a formal family dinner.
Where the Heart Is (2)
Sully arrives in Boston and discovers that he's facing worthy competition for Mike's affection in the form of Dr. William Burke. Sully at first settles uncomfortably into Mike's Boston surroundings, but later, with prodding from the kids, submits to a grand makeover. Later, Sully romances Mike with dining and dancing, even attending an opera together. At an all-male medical society, Dr. Burke steps aside so that Mike can present a paper on Indian medicine, while Sully looks on. Afterward, Sully overhears Dr. Burke proposing marriage to Mike and heads back to Colorado, but not before confessing his love to Mike. In the end, Mike declines Dr. Burke's marriage proposal and Mike and the kids return to Colorado, where Dr. Mike returns Sully's declaration of love with a vow in kind.
Giving Thanks
Mike and Sully have trouble adjusting to the new status of their relationship, "courtin'". Sully introduces Mike to his world, taking her into the woods, showing her how to track and hunt. Mike pressures Sully into coming to a town meeting, where tempers flare over the scarcity of water. Later, Sully takes Mike to his home, a simple lean-to, and she wonders how they can make a life together when they're so different. Horace's attempts to divine for water fail, and Hank decides its time to pull up stakes and take Myra with him. Robert E and Grace also consider leaving. Mike and Sully persuade Cloud Dancing to share his methods for water conservation and farming with the town, only to be rebuffed by Loren and Jake. Loren and Jake take water from an Indian pond which Cloud Dancing warns is poisonous, but they sell the water to the townsfolk anyway. Everyone gets sick from the contaminated water and Dr. Mike must treat them. Afterward, the town pulls together to create a Thanksgiving feast. Sully arrives with Cloud Dancing, the Indians, and food for all. During the dinner with the town and the Indians, Hank returns, and, later, it begins to rain. Everyone rejoices and Sully and Mike reaffirm their commitment in the rain.
Best Friends
Colleen and Becky become best friends when, at Bray's store, Alice, another friend, insists on taking Colleen's favorite fabric to make a dress for the Sweethearts' dance. Dorothy fears she may be pregnant when she faints in the general store. Mike assures her she is not, but she is beginning the "change of life". Later, Mike is frustrated when she tries to teach Sully to dance the Sweethearts' reel. Mike confides to Dorothy her fears about a physical relationship and Dorothy guesses Mike is a virgin. Meanwhile, Becky asks her new best friend, Colleen to ask Richard, a boy she likes, if he likes Becky. He asks Colleen if "the girl," (he thinks it's Colleen) will meet him at the kissing tree. Colleen misunderstands, thinks he knows it's Becky. She tells Becky where to meet him, but Becky chickens out and Colleen goes in her place, to explain. Richard, assuming Colleen is there to meet him, kisses her. Becky finds out and is heartbroken. Becky and Alice team up against Colleen and spread rumors about her. Meanwhile, Sully visits Dorothy for dance lessons without telling Mike, which causes Mike to suspect something's going on between Dorothy and Sully. Later, Mike must perform emergency, albeit minor, surgery on Dorothy to staunch her hemorrhaging. There, Dorothy tells Mike she knows what she's thinking, and that it's silly. Sully's crazy about Mike. Mike's suspicions are partially allayed, but the question remains -- what was Sully doing in Dorothy's room? It all gets sorted out when, at the Sweetheart's Dance, it's revealed that Miss Dorothy was merely teaching Sully to dance as a surprise for Mike. Becky and Colleen reunite when Richard shows up stag at the dance and kisses Alice, Becky and Colleen's nemesis.
Sully's Choice
Mike is called away to Soda Springs to help with an outbreak of influenza and Sully promises to stay with the children. Sully plays "Mr. Mom" but the kids grow restless. While out exploring caves with Brian, Sully is shot trying to intervene between the Indians and the cavalry. When the smoke clears, Brian can't locate Sully and goes to town for help. The Reverend helps the kids hide Sully, who now has a bounty on his head. They take Sully to the cave for safety. Colleen enlists the Reverend's help to bring supplies from the clinic, but he is spotted by Hank and Jake, who are out for the bounty. They knock Hank out and tie him up, but when Colleen is forced to remove the bullet, she must employ Jake's assistance to save Sully's life. When finally they ride back into town, the Cavalry tries to arrest Sully for blowing up the railroad, but the townsfolk provide Sully with an alibi preventing his arrest.
A Christmas Tale - Dr. Mike's Dream
Mike's Christmas Eve gets off to a bad start, triggering a personal crisis for Mike. Through no fault of her own, a patient dies of a heart-attack on the operating table as Mike performs a routine operation on Christmas Eve. The deceased man's family blames Mike. Later, at home, the Cooper kids bicker. Next, as Mike, Sully and the kids are on their way to the town's Christmas Eve party, Robert E comes to ask Mike to deliver a baby for a couple who's just come into town. The couple, married against their parents' wishes, are on the run. Robert E offers them the use of his stable for the birthing, as the couple's fathers, who're in close pursuit, will certainly find them at the clinic. Mike goes to attend the delivery, which causes her to miss the event. As Mike, melancholy at missing yet another social function thanks to her career, falls asleep, an angel, the kids' deceased mother, Charlotte Cooper, visits her. Charlotte takes Mike to her Boston past, where Mike, as a young intern, relives yet another Christmas Eve missed as she baby-sits a young doctor's hospital ward. Next, Charlotte takes Mike to the present, where, as invisible entities, they watch townsfolk discuss Mike's various virtues and failings. Finally, Charlotte takes Mike to Christmas future, where Mike sees her beloved, adopted children grown and doing well, and -- evidence that she'll be happily married, though the identity of her future groom is not revealed. Mike, "awakens," counts her blessings, and vows with her children that henceforth, they'll never be apart on Christmas again. The young couple-with-the-baby's fathers show up, and Mike mediates a truce between the families. Also, the Cooper kids are very disappointed that a mail-order gift ("from a 'real' store in Boston") for Mike doesn't show up in time to give to Mike in time for Christmas, but Mike impresses upon them that, "it's the thought that counts."
Crossing the Line
Miners gather in front of Loren Bray's store to protest Loren's not extending credit to striking miners, and for doing business with the mine owners. A budding union leader, Conrad, is there trying to organize the workers. At the same time, Travis Stone, the mining boss, rides up, hands out flyers advertising for scabs. An angry miner throws a stick of dynamite onto Loren's porch, which Sully, who gets knocked out in the subsequent fray, comes to just soon enough to put out. Matthew takes a flyer -- decides he'll take the job to augment building costs on his homestead. By doing this, he's at cross-purposes with Sully and Mike, who try to talk him out of it. Grace tells Loren she won't be buying anything from him until the strike's over, due to his unfair trade practices with the striking miners. Matthew finds, to his dismay, that Loren charges 10 cents on every dollar of "scrip" (miner's credit) for "bookkeeping" costs. Later, as Mike administers some bicarbonate of soda (Brian's got a tummy-ache from too much candy purchased at Loren's store), Brian comes to the conclusion that Mr. Bray's trading practices are unfair and that he will boycott him as well. As town tensions gather, there's a cave-in at the mine, which re-unites the strife-torn townsfolk. Conrad, the union leader, even agrees to help dig out the miners when Sully tells him they'll probably be happy to join his union afterward. Sully, Mike, Robert E and Horace go down into the mine. Robert E and Horace find an unconscious miner and go back; Sully and Mike end up saving Matthew in the nick of time, though they thought they'd have to amputate his leg to get him out from under a rock and a rising water line. Fortunately, Sully, who used to be a powder man, finds some dynamite and blows the rock off Matthew's leg. Meanwhile, outside the cave, Loren confronts the mine boss, Travis Stone, and decides to mend his avaricious business practices with the mine owners and miners in response to pressure from Brian, who boycotts his store, and Dorothy, who writes an article about unsafe mining conditions. As the episode concludes, Matthew tells Stone he doesn't want the job. Stone replies, "... plenty of men to take your place." Mike retorts, "... not here, Mr. Stone. Not today."
The Offering
Mike and Sully work to treat a typhus epidemic at Black Kettle's camp, which begins after Mike and Sully unwittingly convince Black Kettle to accept government blankets infected with the virus. Mike is heartbroken and guilt-ridden as she battles the tribe's typhus epidemic. When Matthew comes down with typhus, the town panics and locks the children in the clinic alone with Horace. Colleen treats Matthew and Horace contrives to send the kids out to the reservation to be with Mike. Meanwhile, the town prepares for the Fourth of July, ironically missing the point entirely that the first Americans, the Indians, are being systematically wiped out and further, that the newest Americans, the Immigrants, have just had their camp destroyed by the typhus-fearing townsfolk
The Circus
A ragtag circus, consisting only of Heart and Atlantis, a mother-and-daughter team, arrives in Colorado Springs. Heart, the mother, enlists the townsfolk to participate as performers. Everyone accepts but Mike, whom Heart tries to engage as a trapeze performer. Later, in the homestead, Colleen reveals her fear of being in the limelight, and Brian asks Sully if he'll perform on the trapeze, per Heart's request. Sully says to Mike, "I will, if you will," upon which Mike says she'll perform if Colleen will. Colleen reluctantly accepts the challenge. Heart engages the Reverend to be a magician, with Miss Dorothy as his lovely magician's assistant. Brian and Loren are the designated clowns. Colleen, Atlantis and Matthew do a tightrope act together, and Jake is pressed into service as the ring announcer. The town happily embraces their various roles in the circus, but friction occurs between Mike and Heart when Mike discovers that Atlantis, Heart's daughter, has webbed fingers. Mike wants to fix them, but Heart, so-named because of a heart-shaped birthmark on her face, thinks Mike shouldn't meddle with God's creations. Meanwhile, Colleen is working on the tightrope with Atlantis and Matthew, albeit reluctantly. As Atlantis strives to bolster Colleen's courage on the rope, Colleen engages in a campaign to boost Atlantis' self-esteem by remaking a dress for her, and by suggesting the family, including Matthew, compliment her. As a result, Atlantis develops a crush on Matthew, which makes her more and more self-conscious about her hands. When Ingrid shows up and Atlantis sees her and Matthew kiss each other, she becomes very upset and in a frenzy of self-hatred, takes a knife to the webbing between her fingers on one hand. Mike does emergency surgery, successfully (with Heart's blessing) separating both hands from their webbing. Later, Colleen screws her courage to the sticking and overcomes her fear of making mistakes and/or performing in front of crowds as she, with all the other townsfolk/entertainers, performs her act in front of a sell-out Colorado Springs crowd. This episode has a cute scene between Mike and Sully, where Mike asks, "Sully, do you think I'm...." and he interrupts her with, "bossy? Not for me!" Another scene has Mike wishing Sully good luck before they perform, to which he replies, "You're my luck."
Another Woman
Catherine, a beautiful blond woman captured by and raised with renegade Indians, is brought to Colorado Springs by soldiers when her tribe, which includes her husband, is wiped out, leaving her the sole survivor. She initially earns the townsfolks' sympathy, then their contempt when she rejects their gestures of kindness, doesn't know the language, and falls down into an epileptic fit. Indeed, her Indian name was "Shivering Deer" thanks to her grand mal epileptic seizures. Mike takes her in, but the only members of the family she trusts and feels comfortable with, especially with her faltering English, are Sully, then Brian. Brian, however, becomes decidedly less enamored of her when he accidentally glimpses Catherine kissing Sully. Later, when Brian confronts Sully, he doesn't understand Sully's distinction between "being kissed" and "kissing someone," and troubled, tells Mike about it. Meanwhile, Jake, in a conversation with Loren and Dorothy about what marauding Indians do to white women, declares that he'd "die protectin'" Miss Dorothy in the advent of Indian attack, whereas Loren condones women be "blowed up rather than be taken captive by Injuns." This prompts Dorothy to flirt with Jake, which prompts him to ask her out. When the night for the fateful date occurs, however, Dorothy meets Jake, not to go to dinner with him but to tell him she doesn't want to go out with him because of the way he treated Catherine. (He was rude to her at church). Jake's very upset and reveals some of his back-story, which leads Dorothy to plant an impulsive kiss on him, kicking off a romantic triangle between he and Dorothy and Dorothy and Loren. Loren, who thought he'd had squatter's rights to Dorothy, is understandably jealous. This triangle is ongoing until further notice. During a friendly chat, Catherine confesses her love of Sully to Mike. Mike confronts Sully about Catherine, but Sully turns the tables on Mike, asking why it is that Catherine is unaware of their courtship -- is Mike less demonstrative than she could be? Later, when Catherine confides that she's afraid to go to her family in the east (whom Dorothy helped locate), Mike offers to let her stay with them. Catherine tells Sully about this, at which point Sully tells Catherine he's in love with Mike. Catherine's crushed, but understands, and deeply appreciates Mike's noble offer. Catherine leaves, but the damage is done -- there's a rift between Sully and Mike, to be cured during the next episode...
The Orphan Train
Eight orphans arrive on the train. The Reverend takes them in at the church and Mike nurses their ailments. When no one in the town wants to adopt the orphans, the Reverend extends a proposal of marriage to Mike so that they can raise the orphans together. Mike briefly considers the offer, and Sully confronts her about it, asking her if she loves him. She accuses him of not making any kind of committment to her, whereas the Reverend has, to which he replies, "If marriage is all you want...." leaving his meaning clear without being spoken that he's possibly willing to offer more. Considering this, Mike turns the Reverend down, much to the relief of Sully and the Cooper kids. Eventually, the orphans board the train and leave town, but each orphan boards the train a more complete person as a result of their interaction with the townsfolk. Dr. Mike confronts the fact that she can't save the world and she and the Cooper kids emerge as a more united family. Hank offers to let Myra out of her contract if she'll recruit a young orphan girl as her replacement. She refuses, and ends up extending her existing contract to cover the young orphan girl's debts to Hank.
Buffalo Soldiers
A troop of black cavalry soldiers ride into town intending to cover themselves in glory by eradicating hostile Dog Soldiers who've been attacking the railroad. Mike commits an act of civil disobedience by tipping off the Indians, which results in carnage on both sides and the defeat of the Buffalo soldiers. She's accused of treason, and jailed, but the arrogant black cavalry leader, Sergeant Zachary Carver, manages to exonerate her when he's made to realize, through the combined efforts of Sully and Mike, that his beloved troops are nothing more than pawns in the U.S. Army's policy of genocide against the Indians. Returning the favor, Mike manages to medically fake the Sargeant's death, and he escapes court martial. Meanwhile, Colleen cheats on a test and by doing so manages to win a school trip to Washington. Mike must then explain the concept of "good lying;" that is, civil disobedience for a principle, and "bad lying," that is, Colleen's self-serving actions regarding the test. In the end, Colleen confesses her transgression to Miss Dorothy, her instructor, and forfeits the trip, earning her the respect and admiration of Mike, Brian, Matthew and Sully.
Luck of the Draw
When Julius Hoffman rides into town and engages Matthew in a poker game, Matthew thinks he's found a great way to earn money to finish he and Ingrid's homestead, although Mike and Sully disapprove. At first, Matthew wins steadily, though he and Ingrid get into a terrible fight when, after missing an elaborate dinner she cooked for him (he was in a game), he confesses he used her hard-earned laundry money, which she gave him for building supplies, as a stake. Though Ingrid and Mike disapprove heartily, Matthew continues playing the game, even after he gets beaten up and robbed of his earnings. Eventually, townsfolk become so confident in Matthew's abilities that everyone but Mike, Sully and the Reverend back Matthew in the big poker game. The Reverend pulls Mike aside and confesses that he was once a gambler, knew Julius, and suspects that the town's been set up. As Matthew makes his way to the big game, Ingrid breaks up with him over his poker playing. In the process, she returns the engagement ring which Mike gave to Matthew for her. The Reverend wants Mike to intervene, but Mike, realizing that this is one lesson Matthew must learn for himself, refuses. Ultimately, Matthew loses the big game, but before he does, he throws Ingrid's engagement ring into the pot. The town's disappointment and disillusionment is palpable. Later, in a climatic confrontation between Julius and the Reverend, we learn that the Reverend was a gambler in his former life. Sully and Robert E help the Reverend get Matthew's stolen money back from Julius. Matthew donates the money to the church and, bent (and with broken ribs from his beating) but not broken, painfully makes his way out to his homestead, intending to carry on by himself. Mike, Brian, Sully, Colleen and Brian join him at the site to help him. He painfully confesses to Mike that he gambled away her engagement ring gift. She presents it back to him with a simple, "I know." (Sully bought it back from Julius). Mike declares that she'll always want to protect him, and that they'll always be a family. At this, the family sets the eagle loose and he soars majestically into the nethers. Matthew and the family work on, and Matthew's unspoken resolve to win Ingrid back shows plainly in his face. Meanwhile, Brian decides to buy a caged eagle which Loren has on display at the general store, and takes on several chores to earn the money to do so, intending the eagle's freedom to be a surprise for Mike. Brian tries to set the eagle free, but it scratches pathetically in the dirt, refusing to seize the opportunity to fly free. Brian's heartbroken and dejected that the eagle refuses to "take the Cheyenne prayers" to the heavens, and collapses, crying, in Mike's arms. Sully comforts Brian by telling him that the Cheyenne believe the eagle's powers to heal are in its feathers and that "maybe it's staying around for a reason."
Life and Death
Tom Jennings, Dorothy's son, shows up in Loren's store one day when Mike and the kids are there shopping. He's a Civil War Veteran with an old war injury -- his leg was almost blown off.
