Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. How many sisters did Michaela have?

Answer: 4

She had 4: Rebecca, Marjorie, Maureen and Claudette. Rebecca is the oldest.
2. Who was the first death of the epidemic?

Answer: Emily's husband

After realizing someone was sick at Emily's, she ran over followed closely by Sully and Jake. Emily's husband Sam was already laying on the steps dead from influenza. The townspeople called it "the grip".
3. What rank did Michaela accidentally call Colonel Chivington?

Answer: Captain

She was inquiring on how the Indians were faring:
Michaela: "Captain Chivington?"
Chivington: "Colonel Chivington."
Michaela: "I beg your pardon."
4. Where did Michaela decide to house the ill?

Answer: Charlotte's boarding house

It was certainly large enough with plenty of rooms and beds that were sorely needed. The big problem was that when Charlotte died, the bank confiscated the boarding house for the many debts she had. So basically they committed breaking and entering.
5. What body part was taken from Michaela that made people trust her?

Answer: Tooth

Feeling no luck in getting patients Michaela resorted to desperate measures. So she opted for Jake Slicker (played by Colm Meaney) to pull her tooth she claimed was painful. While he was prepping her for the tooth pull she noticed his hand wrapped with a rag and offered to help take care of it. After that patients slowly started to arrive.
6. What did Michaela try to do herself to surprise the children?

Answer: Make dinner

When Loren's sister Olive returned, she took the children to her ranch for a visit. Meanwhile Michaela was trying to make dinner, which wasn't going well for someone who didn't know how to cook. Olive returned the children as this mess was being made with a picnic basket of food.
7. Whose illness prompted Colleen to become a doctor?

Answer: Jake

Jake didn't trust her skills as a woman doctor but he staggered into the makeshift clinic pale and sweating. He half collapsed onto a bed with Michaela giving him a cup of water. Jake started to sip and said, "I really appreciate this." Seeing Michaela take care of a man who clearly didn't trust her prompted Colleen to decide, "I want to be a doctor."
8. What was the cause of death for Charlotte Cooper?

Answer: Rattlesnake

Michaela was arguing with Reverend Johnson about sending another advertisement (pronounced in the show as: "adver-tiz-ment") for a town doctor. Bryan came running saying a rattlesnake got his mother. After extracting a promise from Michaela to take care of her children, Charlotte started to slip away fast. Michaela was prepping medicine when the Reverend simply laid his hand on Michaela's hands.

It was an unspoken but understood: "There's nothing to be done."
9. Who saved Michaela's life?

Answer: Sully

After running out of quinine, Matthew went looking for Cloud Dancing, the Cheyenne medicine man. After chanting some Indian sayings and giving her some tea made from Indian medicinal plants, her fever finally broke.
10. Who stood in between a charging army and the Indians?

Answer: Michaela

After Brian ran away from home, Michaela took off on her own to find him. She was found by some Cheyenne Indians who took her to the camp where Sully happened to be. The Cheyenne Indians offered to help look for Brian along with Sully and Michaela. Michael and Sully had already found him with a broken leg. Cloud Dancing was taking a look at Brian's leg, but Michaela reassured him it was fine. That's when the army started to charge for the Indians. Michaela ran up the embankment and raised her hands up to stop them.

The Colonel told her, "The Indians broke the treaty by leaving the reservation with a number more than 20." Michaela: "That's my fault, sir. Please accept my apology."
