Morning, Mrs. Bray.

I'm ready to start work today.

Sure you're feeling well enough?

Dr. Mike says she's all healed.

Well, I guess you're going to set up over here.

Here it is, folks.

Fresh from Dorothy's Behemoth Press, the latest edition of the Gazette with a

detailed preview.

What's so special about it?

What's special, Sheriff, is the announcement of the groundbreaking

my spring chateau and health resort.

Food? Music?

Sounds like a big party.

Big is an understatement, Lauren. It is going to be the social event of the

year.

Hear it? Here we go.

Morning.

Time to get up.

Oh, I finally got to sleep.

It took me all night to find a comfortable position.

The train will be here.

Soon.

Me?

I don't have any pregnancy for you.

Not much longer.

You've been saying that to me for ten years as well.

I'm tired.

Tired.

Fat. Ugly.

And that's a good thing.

Remember?

Train's on time.

Should be here any minute.

Tonight? What?

I told you Preston needs me to stay late to help prepare for the groundbreaking

ceremony. What's to prepare?

Oh, Horace, if I don't have time for this, I'm going to be late for work.

It's just a groundbreaking.

Uh -huh.

All's you need's a shovel.

You all right?

Well, we grew so much closer the last time she was here.

I only hope we don't have to start all over again.

Mother?

Michaela.

Will you come all this way?

Not yet.

What could be more important than the birth of my grandchild?

Hello, Sally.

Is Quinn going to see you again?

Becca! Michaela, you look positively radiant.

And Marjorie?

Is that you? Can you believe it? She insisted on wearing costumes like this

our entire journey.

despite the countless whispers of fellow passengers.

I must admit, I'm quite surprised.

The pantaloons.

They're called bloomers, Michaela, after Amelia Bloomer. She's pioneering this

brave new way of dressing.

And why not?

Women are entitled to move about with the same freedom as men.

And the color, quite striking. Well, it is springtime, Michaela, when all

flowers bloom.

Speaking of blooming...

I hardly recognize these children.

Ryan, you look so handsome and mature.

Matthew, I do hope you're being careful, Sheriff.

Yes, ma 'am.

Colleen, every year you become more beautiful.

And she'll be going to college soon.

College?

They do grow up so fast.

And now another one will soon be with her.

Judging by her size, it could be her any minute.

Still got another two weeks.

And as you know, first babies often come late.

Whenever your baby comes, I have made certain that you will be adequately

prepared.

Andrew!

I would like to introduce you to my daughter, Dr. Michaela Quinn.

Great honor, ma 'am.

This is Andrew Cook.

Dr. Andrew Cook.

He will deliver your baby.

Beautiful little town you have here.

Hey, doggy.

Take it.

It's all right.

Everyone take the spill now and then.

He's the son of Edward Cook. You remember him? A dear friend of your

Of course.

No. Wait, wait. Not little Andrew with the missing front teeth. One and the

same. He was just a little boy. Who's grown up to become a very fine doctor.

will be. He's only recently graduated from medical school. Harvard Medical

School. First in his class.

I asked him to come along after I received your letter, Michaela, about

need for help.

Well, I said that I was considering getting help.

I was going to ask Dr. Bernard in Denver to come out with the delivery.

Well, now you won't have to ask him.

Andrew's very excited. He practically leapt at the opportunity to travel west.

He agreed to assist you in the clinic for as long as you think necessary.

And after the baby's born, if you decide to return to your practice... When she

decides to return to her practice. He will then return to Boston.

I only want to make certain that your needs are attended to, Michaela.

We're here to ease you through these last few weeks.

which can often feel like years.

Well, well.

She's back.

Let me see if I remember correctly.

Hank?

Marjorie?

Preston, I've only got two hands. Do you know how hard it is to work that press?

Another hundred copies isn't too much to ask for, Dorothy.

Who's that?

Michaela's sister, Marjorie.

From Boston.

So, I suppose I'll be seeing you around town from time to time? I certainly hope

so, Hank.

Is there a problem?

Just keeping an eye on things.

Hasn't been a fight since Cloud Danson's trial.

Finally got some peace around here, huh?

It's gone before the storm.

They're just talking.

That's the problem.

They're up to something, and I aim to stop it before it starts.

How many places do we set? Only eight. Matthew can't make it. Too much to do at

the sheriff's office.

That's a big knife.

Yep.

I don't suppose Michaela uses that for her operation.

Make quite an incision.

Where is that sweet little poodle that I sent you for Christmas?

You mean Fifi?

I gave her to a girl whose paw died.

She takes real good care of her.

Do you need any help, Michaela? I'll make it down.

Sorry, but surely.

Oh, how's dinner coming along? Good. Almost done.

A nice month. I know it well.

Five times I endured it, along with five arduous labors, especially Michaela's.

Just hours of sheer torture.

Dinner is served.

Oh, look at that beautiful shirt, baby. Where's Marjorie? She's not back yet?

Sorry I'm late, everyone.

Michaela, I hope you don't mind, but I brought along a friend for dinner.

Perky. My favorite.

The divorce papers arrived three months ago. Marjorie signed them, making it

official.

She hasn't been the same since.

She certainly has changed.

She joined that group.

The National Suffrage... something.

The National Women's Suffrage Association.

She has become an uncontrollable activist.

She's even encouraging Rebecca to join.

Marjorie and the woman's suffrage movement.

I can hardly believe it. Well, I still can't believe it, even though I do try

best to understand.

This is not how I thought my daughters would turn out.

This is not how I planned it.

Good morning.

I'm the new seamstress. Can I help you with something?

Horace, we need to talk.

About what?

Well, what is it?

Well, Horace, don't take this the wrong way, but I regret to inform you that as

of last morning, you're late for our loan payment on the 3rd. You...

Regret to inform me.

I just don't want to incur a penalty.

Incur a penalty?

Well, that's what happens when you don't make your loan payments on time.

Horace, I hate to do this, but it's part of my job. Fine.

You tell the bank they'll get their payment tomorrow.

I wouldn't want you losing your job.

and sisters bringing the doctor from Boston to deliver it.

I'll tell you what, Brian.

You write this story. I'll print it.

Can you come help with it?

The press is so big, it's difficult for one person to operate it.

Maybe I could help you.

Be your assistant.

Assistant? Sure.

I could do lots of things.

Write stories, print the paper, even deliver it.

Assistant?

Unfortunately, I can't afford to hire one right now.

Money's still a little tight.

That's all right. You can pay me whenever you can.

Your first supported pad.

The job is yours.

I've calculated the delivery date at two weeks from tomorrow, so a few days

prior, we'll be moving here to the clinic to avoid riding into town during

labor. I have the shins in the cabinet.

As you can see, Colorado Springs is a far cry from Boston.

And cleanliness is a challenge with all the dust blowing in from the street.

Have you delivered a lot of babies, Dr. Cook?

Sure. Well, actually, three.

Three? That's all?

I can assure you he is fully qualified, Sally.

What if something goes wrong?

Well, I have all the equipment that's necessary in the event that a cesarean

section would be needed.

And surely you are familiar with that procedure.

Oh, yes.

Well, I've never actually performed one, but I've assisted in several.

I'm quite familiar with it.

Well, I'll write you a list of all the instruments and medicines that are

available in the clinic, and Colleen can assist you.

I doubt it will come to that, Michaela.

Of course it won't.

I delivered five daughters without complication.

There's no reason to believe that this delivery will be any different.

After all, women have been having babies since the beginning of time.

Carmen, Dorothy, Myra, and Grace, of course. You'll be there, won't you?

Where? We're having a little social tomorrow.

A party to honor Michaela and offer gifts for the baby.

Ain't that bad luck, giving gifts to a baby before it's born?

It's only bad luck if you believe that it is.

Will you help with the food?

Well, I'd love to.

Really indulge. Spare no expense.

Well, I'll get started right off.

I believe that's everyone.

What about Emma?

Emma?

Isn't she the prostitute that Michaela wrote me about? She doesn't do that

anymore. She does dress work for Mr. Bray now.

Of course she's invited, Brian. No, she isn't.

I will not have a woman of such character in attendance.

A woman of such character, Mother, is merely the direct result of the men who

exploit her.

Please don't start that again. Men who share none of the shame and degradation,

who insist on enslaving us. All right, all right, inviter.

Just cease with the fanaticism.

All right, nine o 'clock your investors arrive on the train, and we'll meet them

right after the ceremony by ten -third. Perfect.

Grace,

I was hoping you'd do me the honor of catering my groundbreaking ceremony.

Cater? Really indulge. Spare no expense.

I want this to be an event no one will ever forget.

Can you handle that?

I'll see what I can do.

Excellent.

How did he get the hernia?

Fletching a pig.

A big pig.

I must say, this is all very impressive.

How you manage under such conditions is nothing short of miraculous.

You make do. You have to.

There.

All that remains is to close.

Would you mind?

It's becoming difficult for me to stand for a long time.

I could really use a rest.

Certainly.

Harvard Medical School. It's very prestigious.

My father wanted me to have the best education possible.

With all the changes occurring in the medical world, it's good to be at the

center of it all.

That's what he said.

Unfortunately, I found the school repeatedly difficult.

It was all I could do to keep up with the rest of the students.

You certainly managed.

Rest in your class.

Oh, I can see why.

It's very nice.

Wanda, you made it. Many more like it.

They wanted me to talk to you about Sully and his and the train station.

Good idea.

Agent Sully, can I have a word with you?

Right back.

Well, you're finally getting what you've been asking for.

High Command has ordered a reassignment of the district. We're splitting warring

tribes into separate reservations.

I didn't ask for that.

You wanted them to stop fighting.

And they did.

And I'm making sure they don't start again.

We're keeping the Utes and the Pawnees here at Palmer Creek.

Arapaho and Cheyenne are moving out.

Cheyenne? Who authorized this?

General Woodman.

What about Hazen? He agreed.

You went behind my back.

I'm just doing my job.

You ought to thank me for restoring order.

For cleaning up the mess you made.

Just what I was afraid of. Nobody's buying from her.

You're doing a good thing, Lauren.

Don't you worry. Folks will come around.

Well, I just hope I'm still in business when they do.

What can I do for you?

I've come for the supplies I ordered.

Oh, yeah, I got them right here.

Oh.

And I'm also going to have to cancel the new sign I ordered for the Gazette.

Why? Well, money's a little tight right now, but with the loan payment and the

cost of running the new press...

Just going to take a little time, Dorothy.

Always does when you're starting a new business.

This is $12

.32.

Twelve.

All I got is nine, so I'll take some things out of here. Nonsense.

You take these supplies and keep your money.

I'll bill you for them another time. I am not asking for credit. And I'm not

giving it to you.

I'm just going to hold off charging you a few months.

Thank you, Lauren.

Why don't Hazen get a temporary help for the reassignment?

Do you think he'll agree to it?

I don't know.

I'm hoping it'll just give me a chance to file a protest.

You all right?

I'm just trying to find a comfortable position.

You able to get some rest today?

Um, Andrew helped me with Mr. Barth's hernia operation.

He even closed for me.

He's actually quite talented.

Is something wrong?

No, nothing.

I don't know it.

Tell me.

No.

I don't have trouble you've got enough to worry about.

Nothing is more important than you and the baby, you know that?

I know it's silly, but I've been having dreams lately.

Frightening dreams.

About what?

About things going wrong.

Something happening to the baby.

Nothing's going to happen.

I know. I keep telling myself, don't worry.

It's not you.

Don't worry about everything.

The delivery.

How it's going to feel.

I'm going to be up with Steph. You will do fine.

Whether I'm even ready to be a mother yet.

You know, I said women have been having babies since the beginning of time.

Quite a lot of food.

It's going to be quite a party.

Where's Mother and Rebecca?

Oh, they've gone on ahead to prepare.

What is it?

You... I can't get over how much you've changed.

Mother's still convinced I've taken leave of my senses.

She worries about you.

As did I, for a time.

After the divorce, Michaela, I was afraid to even step foot outside the

The doctors called it melancholia.

How did you overcome it?

I began reading.

Anything and everything.

Especially the writings of Elizabeth Cady Stanton.

And then I thought of you.

Me? Yes. How you just dropped everything and came out here to forge your own

life.

I remember how angry I was with you.

How envious I was.

I've really grown to admire you.

And your courage.

And I'm beginning to find some of that courage inside myself, Michaela.

I started writing, pursuing my own career, steered only by the moment.

I've come to expect the unexpected and embrace it.

Oh, I'm sorry.

May I help you?

This food looks delicious. Oh, it's not for you.

It's for Dr. Mike's party.

What about my groundbreaking ceremony?

I'll get to it. Don't worry.

First things first.

So you're the man behind this groundbreaking ceremony I keep hearing

about? To celebrate the construction of my spring chateau and public court.

Marjorie Quinn.

Preston A. Lodge, the third.

Oh, yes.

The banker from Boston?

I'm staking my claim in the new frontier, much like your sister.

What an enchanting family you have, Michaela.

I'm not surprised.

Will you be attending the groundbreaking ceremony?

It's tomorrow morning.

Well, I'm really not sure.

Perhaps. My resort is going to be quite luxurious.

Pride of the town.

I offered Michaela the job of running the medical clinic.

Though she declined.

You did?

Why? It's a long story.

Perhaps one I can relate to as I escort you to the ceremony.

Like that?

The unexpected.

Three days and not a single order.

Don't you worry. We have some time.

Pretty soon, ladies are going to be lining up outside that door to get your

dress.

And then... And then maybe we can start thinking about making some other plans.

Like what?

Like getting married.

Harry? Emma, hey.

You asked to see me.

Yeah, I heard you're doing some dress work.

Well, I think it'll lock a little weight.

Think you could take it in a few inches for me? Sure. I need it by tomorrow for

the groundbreaking ceremony.

We ain't talked about this yet.

Horace. I've got to go.

I work for Brifton.

But you're married to me. Don't that count for nothing?

Of course it does.

I want you and Sam to be there.

Horace, Brifton relies on me.

He gives me all kinds of responsibilities. I've got to be there.

Excuse me, Horace.

Any telegrams come from Superintendent Hazen?

Nothing yet, sir.

I'd like to send another one, but keep on until he answers me back.

Sure thing, sir.

I'll get this right after Dr. Mike's party. I'll have it for you first thing

the morning.

Thank

you,

Dorothy. You're welcome.

Who's it from?

I made it. Oh, thank you, Emma.

Emma?

Well the final gift

Mother

made it all by herself you never knitted before

It's no trouble, really.

Thank you, Mother.

With the cold Colorado nights, you want to keep your baby warm so you can bundle

her up in that blanket and tell her it's from her grandmother.

Her? The baby's going to be a boy, Mother.

I can sense it.

No, no, it's going to be a girl. I say it's a boy. I can tell by the way she's

carrying her. A girl.

Trust me.

What would you like it to be, Michaela?

I just want the baby to be healthy.

It will be.

I want his hands tied.

Get him over here.

Let's go.

What's going on here? Nothing that concerns you, Reverend.

Why are you tying his hand to keep him from escaping out on the trail mount up

Let's go See

a

bit better now Sully telegram just come in from Hazen

He's agreed to halt the reassignment. Give me two days to lodge a formal

protest.

Thanks, Horst.

What's cloud dancing?

He's gone.

I thought you knew about that.

Knew about what?

Sergeant O 'Connor took him and all the Arapaho to a different reservation.

When?

Several hours ago.

He said that you knew about it. Did he say what reservation?

No.

But I think I heard one of the soldiers say that they were going south to Tanner

Flats.

No sign of him yet?

Here we go again.

Just like before the wedding.

Billy often works late at the reservation, Mother.

Sometimes he doesn't come home till the late hours of the evening.

I'm sure he'll be along any minute.

Shall we continue waiting?

No.

Any news yet, Reverend?

No. This came back from the reservation.

Sully hasn't come back yet.

Now, I'm sure that he's made it to Tanner Flats by now, so he'll be

soon. I'm going to go back out there. I will let you know the minute he returns.

Thank you, Reverend.

Good morning, lady.

Good morning.

Here we go.

Will you be attending the ceremony?

I'll stay here in case Sully's trying to reach me. I'll stay with you. How about

you?

Go ahead, Rebecca.

Looking good this morning, Marjorie.

Well, thank you, Hank.

How are you?

Jake Slicker.

Danced at the wedding? Oh, yes, the man.

Are you going to the groundbreaking ceremony?

I was thinking about it.

May I... I mean, would you consider doing me the honor of... Allowing me to?

Yes.

I would love to go with you.

I'll cover the speech as you talk to people in the crowd. We want to make

we cover all the sides of this story.

Ladies and gentlemen, honored guests, current mayor, before

we begin, I'd like to thank you all for coming here and giving me your support.

You mean our money.

Several months ago, when I first came to town, I had lofty dreams.

Now one of those dreams is about to become a reality.

This hotel is going to be a great addition for Colorado Springs.

An addition which will benefit us all.

I only think benefit us all if he's on a train out of here.

I've got a right to voice my opinion.

I'll talk as loud as I like.

Embarrassing you? What about me? Having to come here in the first place so you

can impress that thief.

Horace. Horace. And what about the time I let you run around with Hank in front

of the whole town pretending you were married? You don't think that

me? Leave her alone, Horace.

Don't you talk to me.

Gentlemen, can you bring this discussion elsewhere, please? Leave her be and

shut up or I'll make you shut up. Mind your own business.

Hank, Horace, you're disrupting the...

They come from the Tannerplatz Reservation.

Reverend said you were going there.

Change of plan. Taking them to East Fork now.

We're taking them anywhere.

From Hazen.

Authorizing a halt order.

Does General Wooden know about this?

Hazen's in charge.

Keep moving!

What do you think you're doing?

I take my orders from General Wooden. Until he tells me to stop, I keep going.

You're taking these people back to Palmer Creek. Now.

Back away, Agent Sully.

I said back away.

Run,

Clyde Anson!

Your shoulder.

I'll stop the bleeding. Don't worry. The wound must be sewn.

Listen to me.

I'll be all right, but you've got to get out of here. I want to help you.

Staying here ain't going to help me.

As long as I can come back for you.

Go on.

I'll be all right.

Miss Michaela, isn't that when you were supposed to stop working?

I'm almost finished.

I'm just making a list of the instruments and medicines available for

use during the delivery.

Not easy.

Waiting and the worrying.

You wonder what kind of a mother you'll be.

I try not to think about things going wrong, but still do.

On one hand, you can't wait to have it over.

And on the other, you can't help but feel that you're about to lose

Very special.

For nine months, you have carried that life inside of you all safe and warm.

Soon that will all change.

These things are normal, Michaela.

As is the joy that you are going to feel when your child finally arrives.

There was no greater moment in my life than

the moment when I gave birth to you.

Dr. Mike.

What is it?

One of O 'Connor's soldiers just rode back to the reservation for

reinforcements. The Indians that they were transporting escaped.

Sully?

He's still out in the woods.

He's been hurt.

Robert E.

Get it.

See where Sully is? No, but I think it's somewhere south of the reservation

towards Tanner Flats. I'm going with you. I should go, too. He needs me.

be silly. You're in no condition to ride out there. Don't worry. We're going to

find him.

All right, Michaela, can I get you anything?

No, no, I'm fine.

You really didn't have to stay here tonight.

Well, we're concerned for you. We didn't want you to be alone.

You should have seen Mother working on that blanket, reading books on knitting,

practicing over and over till all hours of the night. I thought she said it was

no trouble.

It's getting late.

You should get some sleep.

I will.

Cloud dancing?

Only it's hurt.

His shoulder is cut, bleeding heavily. Where is he? I will take you to him. Get

your medicine. We do not have much time.

Get the wagon.

I'm sorry.

We will be there by morning.
