The Gist:
Myra adjusts to her new life outside of the saloon. On a bender, Hank shoots up Myra and Horace's engagement party. To prevent him from killing Myra, Sully has to knock Hank out. Although he initially recovers, he winds up in a coma. And Dr. Quinn has to operate on him. When Myra demonstrates concern, Horace gets possessive and clingy ... so she has to tell Horace HOW IT'S GONNA BE.
Meanwhile, Colleen is wicked jealous when Brian gets a special package from Grandma Quinn featuring a telescope and a probably-boring-anyways Jules Verne novel about sending a man to the moon. She winds up breaking his telescope before the big eclipse.
Commentary:
1. I do love it when Dr. Quinn and Hank interact. There were some great moments between them, particularly where he confronts her for being cold and when she answers his accusations as he lays unconscious.
2. I love Myra for making it clear to Horace that while she left Hank in part so she could be with him, she will not obey him the way she did Hank. And I love her for standing by Hank, even as he's hurt her. Grace, too.
3. I love Horace for accepting and meeting Myra's needs.
4. I love these characters. While Dr. Quinn and family are clearly the centerpiece of the series, I really like that the writers put a lot of care and effort into developing the supporting cast. They're real people -- a real community.
