As long as it's clear.

I think he's over the guitar.

Hey! Behave yourself.

Oh, it's all right. It's all right.

I'm just glad to see that at first it's all rejuvenated.

Now it gets safer for him to return to school.

Hallelujah.

Thanks, Doctor.

Katie's down for a nap. Oh, thank you.

Ma, I was thinking maybe after school I could go out and help Sully with this

survey.

Oh, Brian, I was hoping you'd help me in the garden this afternoon.

And what with school and working at the Gazette, we hardly get to spend any time

together anymore.

All right.

I'll see you later.

Hey, Miss Dorothy. Morning, Brian.

Hey, Kayla.

Join me for lunch today.

Well, that'd be nice.

I just put Katie down for a nap, but as soon as she wakes up, we'll join you.

Look forward to it.

Come in.

Can I help you?

Are you the doctor?

Yes, I'm Dr. Michaela Quinn.

Hang on.

Oh, my God.

Get out of the way.

Somebody give me a wagon.

We need a wagon.

We got to get her, Andrews.

Hurry up.

What's up, where's your moon driving?

Hang on, Michaela!

Okay.

You're losing a lot of blood.

The bullet must have hit the subclavian artery. Is she going to die?

Take the bottle on the top shelf on the right, carbolic acid. I want you to

first wipe away the blood with a clean cloth, then spray the wound with the

acid.

It's not dead.

There's fresh linens on the top of that shelf.

Damn. What?

I'm going to need very fine suturing thread to sew up the artery.

You don't got any?

Preston didn't think it was necessary at a health resort.

I've seen Michaela use sewing thread to stitch up horns. I guess what I'm unsure

of. I'll get them.

Does anyone have sewing thread? Dr. Cook needs sewing thread.

Oh, I think I have.

Oh, now,

I'm sure I have some black thread in here.

There's the artery.

Just behind the clavicle.

The bullet creased it.

A fraction of an inch further and the laceration would have been irreparable.

You alright?

You alright?

I've just never done this kind of procedure before.

Any word yet?

Nothing yet.

I found Matthew.

He said Sully's up in the hills on a survey.

He's written out after him.

Anybody seen who shot her? Yeah, Hank did.

Horace gave Daniel the description. He's riding out to get the man.

She has survived the operation.

Is she going to live?

Andrew says it's too soon to know.

Can I see her?

Yes. They were moving her to one of the rooms.

Tell Horace to wire Colleen. She'll want to take the next train out.

Colleen!

What's wrong?

Dr. Mike.

She's been shot.

They're taking her out to Andrews Clinic.

I'll be just outside if you need me.

Oh.

It's me.

He was well -dressed as if he just stepped off the train.

He... He asked if I was the doctor.

And that was really... I remember Hank

coming in and carrying me out of the clinic and then...

Your pulse is strengthening.

It's been three days. There's no indication of further bleeding or

I think it's safe for you to go home now.

But you still need rest.

Two weeks at least, all right?

She'll get her rest. I'll make sure of it.

Good.

Go get her wagon ready.

Andrew.

How are you feeling?

Better now that I'm home.

Easy.

Talk to Mike!

Sally!

Tell him Ram came!

It's from Daniel.

He says he was heading south on the old post trail there, about a mile out of

town, maybe two miles, couple of hours anyway, and all of a sudden... He caught

the man that shot you. He caught him?

Yeah, and that's not all.

Turns out this man is wanted for murdering three other doctors in the

His wife, see, died during an operation in Denver. Made him so mad, he killed

the doctor that operated on her. Then he started taking revenge on all the other

doctors in the territory. Don't worry, Dr. Mike.

Daniel has him.

Took him into Denver for a trial. He'll be swinging on a rope before the week is

over.

Well, it's really good to see you feeling so much better, Dr. Mike.

Thank you, Lauren.

Appreciate you bringing us the news.

You go right ahead.

Get all the red you can get.

Come in.

It's all over. It's all over.

It's going to hurt you.

I think it's by the fireplace.

I'll get it.

You sure you're up to this?

Well, Andrew says that I'm fit to return to work. I have to admit, after two

weeks of being cooped up in bed, I'm looking forward to getting out of the

and back to my patients.

Thank you, Brian.

Well, you should be thinking about getting back to school yourself.

Um, I might wait a few days. Make sure everything's all right here.

I want to thank you for helping me get through this.

I love you all very much.

Baggins ready.

I'll be late for your first date back.

Good to see you back, Dr. Mike. Thank you, Jake. It's good to be back.

Want me to stay here with you today?

No, no, of course not.

Tell you what.

How about I leave Wolf with you? It's all right. I'll be fine.

I'm just nervous about that.

It's only natural. We'll stay back.

Look, Sam.

I know there's been a lot of bad blood between us lately.

But I just want to thank you for saving Kayla's life.

That was Andrew's, too. Not mine.

But you found it and brought it to him.

So I say I'm grateful.

That's all.

Good morning, Lord.

Welcome back, Dr. Mike.

Sure is good to see you up and around again.

Good to be back at work.

So, are you all right? Is there anything you need?

No, no, I'm fine.

Well, I'm just over the way here. If you need anything, just holler.

I will. Thank you.

You're back.

Oh, you look wonderful.

Thank you, Dorothy.

Remember, take it easy. Don't push yourself too hard.

I won't.

Thankfully, it's a full day.

Well, maybe we can have lunch later.

That would be nice.

How was your first day back at work?

It was very nice.

The whole town was talking about you.

Everybody was glad to see you back.

They were all very kind.

What about ready here?

I, uh... I may have rushed myself in going back to work.

I've been feeling a little lightheaded, especially this morning when I came down

for breakfast.

You want me to go get Andrew? No, no, I'll be fine.

Another day's rest should suffice.

That's a good idea.

Why don't you go lie down?

Are you the doctor?

No!

Mom? Are you all right?

I must have been dreaming.

Want me to get you something?

No.

A glass of water would be nice.

Going to work today?

Yes, of course.

Good.

Colleen's got breakfast right downstairs.

I'm going to go saddle the horses.

Nellie? Yeah?

Perhaps... Perhaps just one more day. I feel a little tired.

You have another bad dream?

No.

Colleen told me about the one you had yesterday.

Nellie, I'm all right. I'm just...

Feeling a little lightheaded, that's all.

I'm going to go get Andrew and bring him out here.

No, that's not necessary.

Kayla, please.

I'm worried about you.

Your heart is strong, Michaela.

And the incision is completely healed.

As far as I can see, you're perfectly healthy.

She's been real tired.

Well, that's to be expected after a two -week convalescence.

As you know, in time, your strength will return.

But if you want to, I see no reason why you can't return to work now.

That's relief.

Well, I thank you for coming out here and checking in on her.

My pleasure.

I only hope Michaela's reassured by it.

Sometimes healing the body is just the beginning.

She's been having nightmares.

Well, nightmares are not uncommon following such a trauma.

They should dissipate over time.

But they seem to be getting worse.

I've been reading about soldiers in the war having nightmares that get so bad

sometimes they can't even set foot in places that remind them of a

I think the same thing back in the mining camps after Keevan.

And rather kill themselves than go back in.

Mikayla's purposely avoiding going back to the clinic.

I think she's scared.

Just doesn't want to admit it to anyone, including herself.

She probably thinks if she doesn't talk about it, it'll just go away somehow.

Problem is, it won't go away until she does talk about it.

Morning, Ma.

Morning, Tommy.

Anything interesting?

Dorothy's written a wonderful article about Jason and Charity's wedding.

She's such a talented writer.

I should try my hand at writing. I might enjoy that.

I got the wagon all hitched up.

You ready?

Yes.

Don't worry, Ma.

Oh,

what do you say, Katie?

You ready to go to work with your mom?

Mm -hmm.

She feels warm. I think she's running a fever.

She feels all right to me.

She's definitely warm.

Perhaps I should stay home with her today.

Michaela. She could be coming down with the guitar. I just don't want it to get

any worse.

Michaela.

You can't keep going like this.

I know you've been through something terrible, and I know you're scared, but

can't keep making excuses.

Jesus.

Ellie, Katie, it's feverish. I can't. We've got to talk about this.

There's nothing to talk about. It's over.

No, it isn't.

You've been avoiding going back to the clinic and making excuses.

No.

And I know you've got every right to be afraid, but it's not going to get any

better until you talk about it. Katie is sick.

How can you stand there and expect me to ignore my daughter's well -being?

There's nothing wrong with Katie.

Are you questioning my judgment?

Yes.

Listen to me.

You don't have to go back to the clinic if you don't want to make... Kayla, but

if there's something wrong with you, you've got to talk about it.

There's nothing wrong with me.

You haven't been out of the house in three days.

You can't pretend like that fear's not there. If you do, it's only going to get

worse.

Morning, everyone.

Morning. Brian,

would you settle up flash for me, please?

Sure, Ma.

Colleen, would you watch Katie for me while I'm at work today?

Yeah, of course.

I was awake most of the night thinking.

You were right.

I was making excuses.

Looking for a way to avoid going back to the clinic.

But I'm not going to let the incident destroy my life.

Time to stop hiding.

Time to go to work.

Ma, you don't have to go.

I have to do this.

I'll go with you, Michaela.

No.

Come on, we'll take it nice and easy. Excuse me.

No. Kill it.

What's wrong with her, Pa?

Why can't she do it?

She's scared, Brian.

They caught the guy that shot her.

She doesn't have to be afraid anymore.

Sometimes things like this are hard for people to put behind them.

It's not like Ma to be afraid.

I know that, Brian.

She knows that, too.

I'll continue to look after Michaela's patient.

I must say, it's becoming increasingly difficult.

Preston doesn't quite understand why Michaela's unable to resume her

She's still not ready to come back?

I don't know.

I don't get it.

She's already been to the clinic once since the shooting. Why can't she come

back? She just doesn't feel safe there anymore.

Oh, Christine.

I can only imagine how frightened she must be.

What's she going to do? Keep herself locked in the house the rest of her

That ain't going to come to that.

Dr. Mike is a tough lady.

Once she realizes there's nothing to be afraid of in the clinic, she'll be back.

I hope you don't mind us coming out and visiting you.

No, no, no, of course not.

It's just that folks in town are worried about you, and we want to help.

Please, let us know what we can do.

She wouldn't even leave the house to go get the eggs this morning.

Colleen, what happens if she doesn't get better?

That's not going to happen, Brian.

She's going to get better real soon.

I know it.

You're doing a wonderful job.

Thanks.

Tomato seed wounds are coming up.

They're coming up early.

Thank you, Brian.

I'm sorry, Mom. I'll put them back. Don't cry.

What?

It's all right. Shh. It's all right.

Shh.

It's just a dream. It's just a dream.

I can't.

I can't do it, silly.

I can't go back there.

I'm going to have to quit the practice.

What?

I'll start writing. I always wanted to write. That way I could be at home with

Katie if she needs me.

Michaela. Especially now. Now with your new job.

Clean up. Clean up. Michaela, look at me.

Are you scared that this is going to happen to you again?

I know you're scared and you just want to feel safe.

But I also know that you are a very strong person.

No. Yes, you are.

You're the same woman who left home to come out here in the middle of nowhere

become a doctor.

You're the same woman who stood in front of the charging army.

You're the same woman who jumped off a cliff with me.

I'm not that woman anymore.

Katie's bath is ready. Do you want me to go ahead and get her started?

No.

No, I'll do it.

There you go, sweetheart.

Nice warm water.

Oh, don't worry about the thunder.

It's miles away from here.

Let's get you out of here.

Come on.

Take you over by the fire.

Get you nice and warm.

Matthew and Stahlia are taking the horses in the barn.

The wind's picking up. I better close the shutters. Be careful.

There you are.

Nice and clean.

Fine, we closed up.

Brian's outside helping Matthew with the shutters.

You all right?

I'm fine.

I just had a little... Oh, no!

That needs to shut the oaks a little bit.

Are the rest of the windows shutters? Yeah.

All right, Brian, come over here and help clean up the rest of this broken

glass. Matthew and I will go outside. Get that branch out of the window. Sure.

Morning, everyone.

Good morning. Good morning.

Brian, do a saddle up flash for me, please.

Sure, Ma.

What happened last night?

The storm in the window.

I finally realized something very important.

I'm standing right here, bathing Katie in the basin.

The safe, the comfort of my own home.

If we'd remained just a few moments longer, that branch would have... That

branch would have crashed through the window, possibly killing us both.

Now I realize it doesn't matter where I am or what I'm doing, whether I'm at

home or in town or... or even at the clinic.

There are things in this world that you just can't control.

You have to live your life and hope for the best.

Sounds like good advice.

Bye sweetheart.

You want me to ride with you, Ma?

No, Brian, I'll be fine.

When you get home, maybe we can work in the garden together.

I'd like that very much.

See you all later.

Morning, Michaela.

Morning, darling.

Oh, Dr. Mike.

You are back.

How are you feeling?

Why, fine. What happened to you?

He cut me with his razor is what happened to me.

How was I supposed to know you were going to sneeze?

You've got to let me know these things.

What, am I supposed to make an announcement every time before I sneeze?

Lucky I wasn't shaving your neck at the time. It doesn't look too deep, but it

will need a stitch or two.

Well, you can just forget about that tip I was planning on giving you.

The town really missed you, Dr. Mike.

It's good to have you back, Dr. Monk.

Thank you.

It's good to be back.
