The Man in the Moon is the twenty-third episode of the Season 2 of Dr. Quinn: Medicine Woman, and the fortieth episode of the series.
Hank goes into a drunken rage and shoots up the town in response to Myra leaving the Saloon. Due to his actions, he ends up in a coma. While he's in a coma, Myra is by his side praying, despite all of the mistreatment from Hank, angering Horace, and all of this convinces Horace he needs a gun to protect Myra in the future. They call off the engagement. But not for long.
