Previously on Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman. You invited Mother for Thanksgiving. I

don't need your permission.

He's burning up, and I don't know what to do.

The woman that was in your story, Lauren, had to keep the medicine for her

fever. He had diphtheria.

You got it. Ask Andrew for the new O'Dwyer instrument.

It's a new method of keeping the larynx open called intubation. There's still a

great deal of controversy surrounding their use, Michaela.

Put her on bed.

It's my fault. You could have saved her, and I wouldn't let you. No.

Doctor, my... She's feverish. I'm not.

Well.

Come back here, you two. Mother, stop it.

Marjorie's sick.

She's got the diphtheria. I gave up my post with Preston to help you in any way

that I can.

Intubation is most successful and performed at this stage.

I cannot go against my better judgment.

Well, neither can I.

There is some place.

Now what?

Now we wait.

I don't want you working for at least a week.

Your only job now is to rest and eat three nutritious meals a day.

But the mail must be backed up pretty bad.

The train hasn't run for at least a week, so you have nothing to worry

I'll look in on you twice a day to see how you're doing and to make sure you're

following doctor's orders.

Thanks for taking such good care of me, Rebecca.

And thanks for saving my life, Dr. Mike.

I'm afraid I can't take credit for that.

Well, all I can say is healing sure runs in your family

Rebecca good morning mother

Horace Quinn you are looking well feeling well, too. Thanks to your

I'm sure their father is proud.

I'm sure their mother is proud

I'm not always approved.

But I'm always proud.

Lauren.

Mr. Bray.

Would you please excuse us?

No.

He won't.

Yes, he will.

No, he won't. Would you two kindly stop talking about me as if I was not here in

the room?

Now, Elizabeth is your mother.

And you are her daughter.

And it's long overdue that the two of you had a talk.

I'm delighted that you're feeling better.

It was Mikhail's procedure that saved me, Mother.

Yes.

I suppose I deserve better.

I suppose I deserve a lot of what you feel about me.

But you deserve a lot of what I feel about you.

Like what, Mother?

You know, my opinions about your unorthodoxy are

not expressed simply to annoy you, even though you may believe that.

Then why do you express them?

Why can't we just be different?

Do you really feel that I can't tolerate your being different from me?

Then what is it?

Oh, Marjorie.

You know, when you were a little girl, you... You always have to play with

The stove, the hearth.

Even the matches that your father used to use to light his pipe.

And it was my job not to let you get burned.

I really appreciate your desire to protect me, Mother.

I really do.

There just comes a point in life when that's no longer your job.

A point when the child's on her own.

And if she still wants to play with fire, so be it.

No.

As Lauren said, I'm your mother.

And you are my daughter.

And that's forever.

And I will forever.

Try to protect you. From what you believe to be harmful.

Yes, that's correct. Mother, I love

Lauren.

Then marry him.

You know that I don't wish to get married again. You can't be his

I'm not his mistress.

And even if I were, it's my life.

I'll be the mistress.

of whomever I please.

That's disgusting.

And more importantly, I'll be the mistress of...

Good morning, Mr. Quinn.

Please take me to my grandchildren.

I'm afraid that's easier said than done.

I have the proper clothes.

I don't think the Army really cares what you're wearing, but they do care. Worth

belly -tiding. I'm quite willing to take whatever risk is necessary.

We walk from here.

Daniel was kind enough to bring me to you.

Even Michaela could see the wisdom of her children being with their

at a time like this.

I hope you can see it, too.

Sure. It's good that you're here.

Yeah.

It's a relief.

I was afraid you might try to stop me.

Why would I do that?

Well, I know how you felt about Boston in the past.

Well, so what are you talking about?

Now that Marjorie is well, I think it best if I take everybody back to Boston.

We're safe.

Wait, wait a minute.

You said you wanted to see Brian and Katie.

They're safe from the diphtheria right where they are. What about the soldiers?

The Indians?

Winter's coming. There have always been soldiers and Indians, Elizabeth.

And winter comes this time every year.

Sully's right, Mrs. Quinn. You cannot break up this family.

I hardly think that I'm the one responsible for breaking up the family.

Look, I know I'm to blame.

But I made a promise to get us together again, not let us get further apart.

And I'm going to make good on that promise. And how do you plan to do that?

Cloud Danson and I are working with the tribes.

Trying to get him to stop from war and go north.

Then Matthew can get Sully cleared.

Brian, with all due respect to Matthew, there are far better lawyers in Boston

that I can hire to defend Sully.

As for the Indian Wars, all the more reason to leave.

No, ma 'am.

You are welcome to stay here with us if you'd like.

But nobody's leaving here.

Unless it's you.

Stay, Grandma.

You can feed Katie, and I'll play checkers with you.

It's so hot in here.

Not really. You're just right over the heat of the stove.

I have high fever.

She was the perfect candidate for intubation.

You were right, Michaela.

No, I wasn't. Yes, you were.

I would have chosen her as an optimum patient for the procedure.

But you wouldn't have done the procedure.

What am I doing?

You made a valid medical decision.

You can't blame yourself.

We'll simply have to repeat the drainage.

Would you like me to do it?

Michaela.

Her lung, it's spilling fast. I can clear it.

I suggest we do everything possible to revive her.

You're right.

At least you'd have the opportunity.

I love you, Michaela.

I love you, Margarita.

Michaela is with her.

And you're not supposed to come tonight.

Sorry if I scared you.

It's all right. I just wasn't expecting you till tomorrow night.

Yeah, well, uh... Something's happened that I figured you ought to know about.

It's Marjorie.

She's taking a turn for the worse.

Thank you.

Thank you.

We'll be leaving in the morning.

Leaving?

For Boston. We can't go home now, Mother.

We can, and we are.

But Michaela needs our help.

Michaela needs no one's help.

If you mean to blame me for Marjorie's death, Mother, you're too late. I've

already blamed myself.

But it's not a question of blame.

Are you denying that Marjorie might still be alive if it hadn't been for the

pneumonia? We have no way of knowing that.

If it's true, she might.

If you want to leave, then leave. No.

We came for Thanksgiving.

There's nothing to be thankful for.

How can you say such a thing?

You have four healthy daughters and ten healthy grandchildren.

We've all just suffered a horrible loss, but we mustn't blame each other or

ourselves.

We are still among the living, and the living in this town need our help.

We should give thanks that we're able to provide it.

If you go home to Boston, you go alone.

We're closed.

You two, go on, get out.

No, I mean it.

I mean it. Go on.

Go.

It's all right?

No. I cry for myself. It's not all right. You've been through a lot.

So have you.

Brian told me of your father's death.

Look, it ain't easy getting these poor souls ready for their kin to see him for

the last time.

I think I ought to take you to town, get you away from Mr. Wallace. No, I want

to stay here with you.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I want you here with me

That's Marjorie.

Michaela, how's she?

She's holding up.

Colleen and Matthew?

Well, there's a lot of sadness, Brian.

But they're healthy.

So is your grandma and your Aunt Rebecca.

Wish I could have brought you better news.

I'm sorry.

Better stay away.

Go back into the cave.

Throw all the stuff that Daniel brought tonight.

You should be back by morning. Go on.

Daniel, come on.

We've got to get you into town.

Hey, hey, hey.

Hey, hey, hey. Oh, ho, ho, ho.

Get him inside.

Get his ankle, Matthew.

Got it. Got his leg.

Got his leg. Got it.

Mr. Bray, please, I need flour.

Can't you read?

It's for bread for my children.

All right.

Wait here.

Good heavens, you startled me.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. The reverend let me...

Put it on your account.

Lauren, I need to talk to you.

Go ahead. I'm listening.

Well, you're not making this any easier.

Why should I?

You didn't make Marjorie's last hours any easier.

If you're looking to blame someone, I'd start with Michaela, if I were you.

Well, you ain't me, are you?

Dr. Mike did her best to save Marjorie. Yes.

What she thought was her best.

Well, that's all it is, isn't it?

Doing what you think is best?

Oh, tell me you thought you were doing your best.

Fighting with your daughter on her sickbed.

Telling her that what she felt for me was disgusting.

It wasn't.

Here, let me do that.

Aren't you going to go to sleep?

Not right now.

What's wrong?

I mean, I know everything's awful with the diphtheria epidemic, but you seem

different.

The truth is, I...

Feel pretty bad sitting out here when your mom needs my help our family needs

help My best friend needs my help

I Know what you mean?

Michaela, come here.

He's getting worse.

What about the breathing tube?

I don't know.

I do know there was still time to perform the procedure on Becky.

Without it, she died.

I do know I performed the procedure on Marjorie before it was too late, and

it, she died. I just don't know what to do.

Yes, you do.

You're a good doctor, so there must be a good reason why you believed it was

right for Marjorie.

Michaela, why?

Well, I... I believe the procedure was the most advanced treatment,

and I believe it will be proven to be the correct choice.

Then make it.

Michaela, what would you do if the patient were you?

Your lungs are clear. No infection.

It's five days since I removed the tubes, so... There's no longer any

concern.

Michaela.

Thank you.

You made the correct choice, Michaela. Remember that.

Thank you, Matt.

Excuse me.

What do I owe you?

Well, since most of the patients were unable to pay, we've been asking those

more fortunate to give as much as they possibly can.

Well, thank you, Preston.

Now it is I who should thank you and Andrew.

Is the epidemic over?

It appears to be no new cases in three days.

So you won't be needing Andrew's services anymore?

Well, if you're asking me if I require his assistance... Preston, if you're

asking me to reconsider... There's nothing to reconsider. We have a

I expect to see you first thing tomorrow morning.

Holding a hand of each.

and watching the two young faces wistfully.

Mrs. March said in her serious yet cheery way, I want my daughter to be

beautiful, accomplished, and good.

To be admired, loved, and respected.

To have a happy youth.

To be well and wisely married.

And to lead useful, pleasant lives.

With as little care and sorrow to try them.

As God sees fit to tend.

I've been doing a lot of thinking.

I was wrong to blame you for Marjorie's death.

I am the one who made the decision?

Exactly.

Making decisions is an important part of your job.

Having the courage to choose a course of action and to take it.

There's a big difference between taking the blame and taking the

responsibility.

I understand that now.

plans for Thanksgiving?

Plans?

Well, the family. I mean, we're always together.

But this year was Sully away.

I understand.

Colleen!

I'm coming.

Could you help me, please?

Colleen, there's something you need to know.

I made up my own mind about Becky that night.

I influenced you, Ma.

You tried to influence me, but there's a difference.

Ultimately, I did what I thought was best at that moment in time.

And I would do the same again under the same circumstances.

You would?

Yes, I would.

I wonder if Andrew has any plans for Thanksgiving.

No, he doesn't.

I think we should invite him to join us.

You do?

Yes, I do.

Does that mean that I won't? That means that I think that Andrew earned this

family's trust.

Don't you?

Michaela.

I'm so glad it's over.

Only two patients left. They'll be home for Thanksgiving.

Oh, speaking of Thanksgiving, I've decided to spend it with Lauren.

He shouldn't be alone.

No, he shouldn't.

I know you'll be missing more, Trita.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Just all the patients I have to...

Zully!

Daniel!

Hello, Brian.

You're all right.

Yeah, I got a clean bill of health from Iman and Andrew just yesterday.

Good.

What about Thanksgiving?

Oh, don't you worry.

I got a plan.

Stay here.

What have you got back there?

Just some food and supplies.

Come on, fellas, it's Thanksgiving.

Well, thank you for looking to that tarp.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Dear Lord, let us give thanks to God our Father for all of his gifts so freely

bestowed upon us.

For the beauty and wonder of your creation in earth and sky and sea.

For our daily food and drink.

Our homes and family and friends.

For minds to think and hearts to love.

And hands to serve.

For health and strength to work.

And leisure to rest and play.

for the brave and courageous who are patient in suffering and faithful in

adversity, and for all valiant seekers after truth, liberty, and justice.

We thank you, dear Lord.

Amen.

Intubation was deemed highly experimental by the medical community in

and did not come into favor as a treatment for diphtheria and other

distress until 1880.

Today intubation is widely used by physicians as an important life -saving

procedure.
