Homecoming is the twelfth episode of Season 6 of Dr. Quinn: Medicine Woman, and the one hundred thirtieth episode of the series.
After Dr. Mike and Sully return from bringing Black Moon's braves safely to the Northern Cheyenne, they begin the trip home, but come across Chester and Hallie Barnes, a young, married couple who are lost, and help them find the New Hope settlement they're looking for. On the way, Sully teaches them some of what he knows about living in the wilderness. Due to the delay, they don't get home for Christmas quite as soon as they had planned on, but do make it just in time.
Meanwhile, Daniel is offered a job running a mining operation away from Colorado Springs and is tempted to give up being sheriff and take the job.
