"Giving Thanks" is one of my favorite episodes in this season. The story line begins where the previous two-part episode left off-"Where the Heart is".
Dr.Mike, the children and Sully are coming back to the homestead, and they decide to start courting. They have their own doubts about having enough in common, but,meanwhile, they have news of a drought in town. Horace tries to find water with an old-fashioned stick Jake and Loren haul infected water from a pond, in spite of Cloud Dancing's warnings. People get sick and Dr.Mike has to treat them. A storm comes up, but it still doesn't rain- Dr Mike's barn catches fire and when Sully comes, it is out, but she takes out her anger on Sully, thus causing a grater rift between them. Everyone begins to wonder what do they have to be thankful for this thanksgiving, without enough food. They refuse the Indians' help with food. Hank leaves the town without letting Myra stay.
That's where the main lesson of this episode comes in: sometimes we forget to be thankful for what we have, and we only ask more of the Lord. We have so much to be thankful for...we're alive and we have people to love. With that in mind, Dr.Mike decides to make amends with Sully,and he shows her his favorite spot, where they watch the sunset together. Then the town decides to have a Thanksgiving meal with what they have, when the Indians come riding in with a food. So they all sit together, bow their heads and thank the Good Lord/Mother Nature for their bountiful feast, and Hank comes in with his girls. Horace and Myra couldn't be happier.
At last, the greatest gift of all comes: Rain. Everyone is happy with joy..never mind if the food is getting wet, Dr.Mike... It was beautiful and full of joy...This was also the first episode where Dr.Mike and Sully begin courting...season 2 is my least favorite, but it has great episodes , like this one, so check it out.
