"Season of Miracles" is the thirteenth episode of season 5 of Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman.
The Reverend suddenly loses his sight due to optic neuritis and this urges Brian to start preparing the town for a Christmas Miracle infecting the town with faith. However after Dr. Mike is unable to find a cure, Brian begins to lose faith in God, and in turn so does the Reverend. Dr. Mike is given advice from Sully and Cloud Dancing and goes to church to pray for help in guiding the Reverend back to his faith and helping him lead a new life as a blind man.
This episode provides examples of:
- Christmas Episode: Downplayed, in that the Christmas Miracle never happens.
- Christmas Miracle: Averted when the Reverend remains blind.
- Crisis of Faith: First Brian loses faith in God, and then the Reverend does as well.
