Remember Me is the eighth episode of Season 5 of Dr. Quinn: Medicine Woman, and the one hundred-first episode of the series.
Lucius Slicker, Jake's father, comes into town, and is recognized by Jake after a haircut and shave. Dr. Mike tries to reunite the two of them before Lucius dies.
Lucius claims he doesn't remember Jake, but Jake is sure he's faking the memory loss. However, Dr. Mike sees signs of senile dementia. Seeing how Jake is feeling hurt, reminds Brian and Matthew of how their own father deserted them, just like Jake's did.
While he's in town, Lucius shows off a gold nugget he found. This results in the town looking for gold, and Horace believing that if he can get rich, he'll get Myra back.
