Season 1, Episode 0: Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman

1 January 1993
After the sudden death of her father and mentor Dr. Michaela Quinn, also known as Dr. Mike, left her home in Boston to practice in the Colorado territory in a little town called Colorado Springs. Since the practice with her father was gone she had no where to work in Boston so she responded to an ad for a doctor on the new frontier. After the long journey she found that Colorado Springs was no better at welcoming a woman doctor as Boston was, but was determined to stay and show people that she was just as good as any man. She is befriended by Charlotte Copper and they become very close friends. Dr. Mike decides to look for permanent housing and receives an offer from a local man, Sully, to stay at his old homestead since no one was using it now. Charlotte calls on Dr. Mike to help deliver a baby and Dr Mike enlists Charlotte help to clean the homestead along with her sons Matthew and Brian, and her daughter Colleen. After she is bitten by a rattle snake she finds out that there is nothing that can be done to save her, she asks Dr. Mike to take care of her children. Matthew, Colleen and Brian move out to the homestead with her. All four of them were having difficulties adjusting and Brian decides to run away and live with the Cheyenne. Dr. Mike goes to search for him but is taken to a Cheyenne Indian camp and happens to find Sully there. Back at Dr Mike's Sully later shows up with an unexpected guest.

Season 1, Episode 1: Epidemic

2 January 1993
Miss Olive arrives back in town and believes that she should be the one looking after Matthew, Colleen and Brian. She brings with her a sick cowboy who had contracted influenza but everyone is unaware of the exact nature of his illness. Michaela attempts to try her hand at cooking but is unsuccessful. After the cowboy dies and his child becomes ill with the same thing Dr. Mike discovers that it is influenza. People in the town were dying and Dr. Mike wanted to quarantine people who are sick in Charlotte's boarding house. Brian comes down with the influenza and Colleen begins to think that Dr. Mike only wants to treat people instead of being their guardian and starts to resent her. Dr. Mike is running out of medicine and Sully suggested Cheyenne brewed tea but she does not want to administer a drug she is not familiar with. Dr. Mike uses the last bit of medicine for Jake, Brian and Horace. Brian's fever finally breaks and Dr. Mike is relieved but she herself now has influenza. Sully had Matthew go for Cloud Dancing, Medicine Man. Will they get back in time?

Dorothy believes her late husband Marcus still got her pregnant, but Dr. Mike Quinn finds on the contrary it's the transition in adult womanhood; she gets a suspicious bleeding, which just might be a malignant tumor. Everybody is talking about the approaching annual ball; the doctor also hints at it- Byron Sully just calls it all silly but finally asks her anyway, so she tries to teach him the local folk dances he doesn't know, but he's only interested in physical contact with her and walks off saying people don't change. The silly girls consider the amorous potential of cute new schoolboy Richard, who has the latest novels, but misunderstand which one he fancies, and get socially messed up. The doc reassures Dorothy and her beau, shopkeeper Loren, she'll probably be all-right, not shriveling up, but thinks Sully has an affair with Dorothy after seeing him enter he closed shop...
