Previously on When Calls
the Heart:

Mrs. Thornton, Nathan Grant.

A pleasure to meet you.

Lucas Bouchard, at your service.

You cheated me out of my land.

I'm going to get what's mine.

Judge will be here
first thing in the morning.

I think you'd make a good judge.

I'm the judge.

Sworn in last night.

You are not the man
people think you are.

I think it's time you
stopped living in the past.

(Nathan) I see you've met
my niece.

(Elizabeth) I believe she
pushes people away

before they have the chance
to get close to her.

Alright, well,
what do you suggest?

Do you think they're onto us?

They are now.

I know how much you
want a child of your own.

What if it doesn't happen
for us?

We face it together.

We're engaged!

[applause]

If life has taught me anything,

it's that nothing ever
stays the same.

Change happens.

Sometimes we don't think
it's happening fast enough.

Other times, we think
it's happening too fast.

But the future,
however it unfolds,

always makes an indelible
mark on our lives,

leaving us excited
about what lays ahead.

Or worried about what doesn't.

The fact is, we never know
what surprises

life has in store for us.

But if we're open,

the future can bring wonderful
new experiences.

Experiences that we never
could have imagined.

I, for one, am ready
to embrace change,

to enjoy the wonder of it
with all of my heart

and for the rest of my life.

Because change
can be beautiful.

Oh, it's great.

That's good, thank you.

Oh, Laura, could you,
just for one moment.

Thank you so much.

Nathan.

Good morning.

Allie is so excited about her
book report on Queen Victoria.

That's great.

Between her friends,
and the projects,

I've never seen her
so engaged with school.

That's good, you know.

I was... I was never
like that.

Probably because you never
had a teacher like Elizabeth.

That, that's true.

I just received a brand-new
shipment of books

for the library.

More?

Yes, and there are some
real gems in this one.

Well, that's great.

I was just on my way there.

-Great.
-Great.

Great.

(Boys arguing)
Give it back now!

No, it's mine!

I should see if I can
resolve that.

Alright.

Boys!

Are we behaving like
little gentlemen?

(Boys) No.

I didn't think so.

Now, please give him back
his ball.

(Boy) Sorry, Mrs. Thornton.

I'm sorry.

Ah...

Lee.

Uh-huh.

What do you think?

It's nice.

Lee, come on, you didn't
even look.

Aren't you excited
about our vacation?

I'm sorry, sweetheart.

I just... The paper mill exec
is coming tomorrow,

and if we win this bid, it's
going to be our biggest client.

Yeah, that's nice.
That's really fancy.

Well, I want to look my absolute
best for our anniversary.

Not to mention, Los Angeles
is one of the glamour capitals

of the world.

And I know plenty
of matinee idols

from back when they were
wanna-be stage actors.

I'm pretty sure the only matinee
idols we're going to see

are on the screen
at a movie theatre.

Oh, speaking of which,

I read that Gloria Swanson's
latest picture

is going to be playing at
Tally's Electric Theatre.

Okay, add it to
the itinerary then.

Mmmhmm.

Along with concerts,
world-class dining,
some vaudeville.

And then I thought we could take
a jaunt down Sunset Boulevard.

I hear that is the place
to be seen.

Absolutely, yes.

Oh, Lee, you really do need
a vacation

especially after all this work
you've been doing.

I gotta admit,

I am looking forward to
a little sun and sand.

Lee, I have designed
bathing suits.

-Oh, no.
-For us.

I can have them done
by the end of the day.

Be prepared to be on the cutting
edge of fashion.

Oh, yeah, that's pretty.

Mmmhmm.

Ahhh!

What?!

What do you mean, "what"?

Your's is so pretty
and... this!

I look like an escaped convict.

An escaped convict on a beach
with me wearing this.

Hmm?

You're right.
That's a good point.

[laughs]
I knew you would see it
my way.

I'll have them done today.

Mmmhmm.

♪

Both are about Queen Victoria.

This one is shorter
and has more pictures.

But this one is probably
the better book.

'Course. The longer one.

It's your choice, Allie.

Don't forget to sign it out.

Thanks, Mrs. Thornton.

You're welcome.

So here they are.

Where did you get all of these?

My mother sent a lot of my
favourite books from home.

Oh, I used to love this one.

I'll tell my mother,
she'll be flattered.

She edited it; actually she
edited quite a few of these.

Your mother was an editor?

Helen Bouchard.

Now, I see where your interest
in books came from.

Been around them
for most of my life.

So, what was it like,

having a mother who did
this for a living?

I remember sitting with her
when she read manuscripts;

she would quote
Benjamin Franklin:

"Either write something
worth reading

"or do something worth writing."

Huh?

She never took an interest
in writing herself?

It wasn't her calling;

besides, she saw how difficult
it was to get published so.

No kidding.

That sounds like
experience talking.

I tried to get something
published a few years ago.

It didn't work out.

Was this a passing fancy
or something more?

Ever since I was five-years old

I wanted to be a teacher
and a writer.

So, you were a force to be
reckoned with even then.

How many publishers
did you contact?

Two.

Just two?

I'm sure my book needs
some work.

Okay, well, first of all,

there are dozens of good
publishers out there.

And second, I would be more
than happy to read your book

and give you my thoughts.

That's very kind of you,

but I wouldn't want
to put you out.

You wouldn't be...

Look, I learned a lot
about books growing up.

Did not make me the most
popular kid,

but I might as well put that
to use.

I appreciate it, I do.

And I will think about it.

Okay.

That should do it.

Do you mind?

Go ahead.

Nice suit.

Thank you. I got it
in Benson Hills.

A magazine reporter is coming
to interview him this morning.

Really?

Florence, please try calling
Mr. Gowen's office, thanks.

[phone rings]

Okay, we have a problem.

Hold on.
Hello?

Good morning.

'Morning.

You must be Henry Gowen.

Marion Landers.

A pleasure.

Did I come at a bad time?

Oh, no, no, no.
That's quite fine.

I'll be done in a jiffy.

Mr. Gowen is just having
a second phone installed.

You're installing it?

I've installed almost all
the phones in Hope Valley.

So, I hear Mr. Gowen
is quite the celebrity.

That's why my editor
sent me.

One of the rising stars
in his industry.

Try calling again.

[phone rings]

Victory!

It's working now,
thank you.

Alright.

I'll get out of your way.

You know he must be important.

This is the first place in town
with two phones.

[small laugh]

Thank you.

Please sit.

Oh, thank you.

I got word that you had
a call for me.

Patching you in.

Thank you.

[phone ringing]

This is Dr. Shepherd.

Hi Carson.

Faith, how are you?

I just wanted to hear
your voice.

I miss you.

Do you?

What I wouldn't do to see
you right now.

Is that really true?

Yeah, absolutely.

Then turn around.

Excuse me?

Turn around, Carson.

Why didn't you tell me
you were coming home?

I wanted to surprise you.

Surprise!

[laughter]

Um, maybe we should go
to the infirmary

to let Florence and Ned
get back to work.

Sure. Come on.

You've made quite the splash
in the oil industry.

How did that come about?

Well, I took a chance
on myself

and I was very fortunate
that it played out.

And now you're a major employer
in the valley.

With a lot more potential
for growth.

Hmm. You ran the coal mine,
you became the mayor,

you worked in management
for the railroad and now this.

You've had an impressive career.

You could say that.

You're quite the leader
in this town.

I definitely wouldn't say that.

And then there's the conviction

for misappropriation
of public funds.

Yes, there is that.

I think it's a fantastic story.

A powerful man falls from grace
and builds himself back up.

I kind of feel like
that's old news.

I mean, what's happening now
is the kind of jobs

that this new venture is
providing for the valley.

Surely, you can see how readers
might be interested

in your history.

Well, I try not to dwell
on the past.

What's going on?

Oh. You won't believe it.

I heard that Henry
is being interviewed

for a magazine story.

That's wonderful!

I know.

Wow.

Anyway, are you ready
for your big trip?

Oh. No, no, not at all.

No, there is nothing
more stressful

than planning for
a relaxing vacation.

[laughs]

Good morning, Lucas.

Ladies.

Hi.

Have you thought about it yet?

Still thinking.

Still thinking about what,
may I ask?

[sighs] I told Lucas about
the book I wrote.

He grew up around publishing.
and so-

What? I didn't know that.

Surprise, surprise.

Lucas keeping secrets again,
who would have guessed.

It isn't a secret.

And he offered to help me.

Well, perhaps you should
consider it.

I don't know.

Elizabeth, you never know

where a good idea is going
to come from.

Maybe.

I remember meeting this young
English actor in New York City.

He was struggling.

I told him he should focus
on comedy.

And did he?

Yes.

And I hear this Chaplin fellow
is doing quite well these days.

Hmm?

Well, I don't know how much I
can tell you about Henry Gowen.

Frankly, Judge, I'm hoping
more than he told me.

All the man wants to talk about
is oil.

Well, isn't that what
your article is about?

That's the jumping off point.

Our readers want to know
about more

than the price of crude.

They want interesting
characters.

Well, Henry's that,
for sure.

Is he?

Tell me more.

Like what?

Would you say you know
him well?

Our paths have crossed.

Hmm.

Would you describe him
as a town leader?

Did he say that?

No, no.

But, as a town leader yourself,

I thought you might provide
some insight.

Oh.

[sighs]

Well, I'll say this.
Henry is a complicated man.

Business comes first with him.

But the town benefits
because of it.

Are you going to use that
in your article?

Well, that's the idea.

The name is Avery.

A-V-E-R-Y.

Thank you.

Beef stew is a hit,
Gustave.

The bouillabaisse,
not so much.

[In French accent]
Why do I bother?

That's okay.

What's with the new cook?

Oh, he's a not a cook,
he's a chef.

Just bringing some big city
to our little town.

Well, careful, those big city
prices will drive people to me.

We'll see.

Excuse me.

I was interviewed by that
magazine reporter.

You talked to her?

As a town leader, she sought
out my opinion.

A nickel.

I'm sure you gave her
an earful.

She's going to quote me
in the article.

What did you say?

Well, mostly good things.

I had to parse
my words carefully.

I didn't want to violate
my oath of office.

Of course.

Enjoy your dinner.

What's that you got there?

Here.

Okay.

I love the illustrations.

My late husband drew them.

I'll get right on it.

And be honest.

I would never be anything
but honest with you.

I mean it though.

I don't want you to feel like
you have to spare my feelings

or anything.

Got it.

Thank you.

I talked to my dad today.

He's settling in with my brother

and he's loving spending time
with his grandkids.

Did you enjoy your time
with him?

Between his at-home care
and his trips to the hospital,

it was a lot, a lot of work,
but it was worth it.

It really brought us closer.

That's great.

Oh, I didn't tell you
about the hospital.

Everything was brand new.

And guess what, I knew
the administrator.

How?

We used to work together.

And, on my dad's last visit,

he offered me the position of
head nurse

for the entire hospital.

That... whoo...

What did you tell him?

That I would think about it.

But it's so far away,
and then there's us...

Anyway, he gave me a couple
of weeks to decide.

But I wanted to talk to you
about it.

We're in this together,
aren't we?

Absolutely, 100 percent.

Ned, please tell me that
my package arrived today.

Well, yes, it did.

It's right here.

Ohh!

I have to fit in when I arrive
in Los Angeles.

Everyone there wears them.

Oh! Mm!

Is it true you're going to see
a picture show there?

Yes.

And it's called
a motion picture.

I wish I could see one someday.

(Children) Me, too!

How do they make pictures move?

Well, I hear that the best
motion pictures

have a little magic in them.

[giggles]

Will there be anything else?

You're Lucas Bouchard,
are you not?

I am.

Sit. I'd like to discuss
Henry Gowen.

Please.

I'm a little busy.

Can I ask, you're a partner
in his oil business.

That's right.

And how has that been?

It's been very profitable.

Did it give you pause
to go into business

with a man convicted
of stealing?

Ha!

Well, I can't speak
to what he did,

but I can say that he has been
an ideal business partner.

Hmm.

What time is he coming?

Uh, four hours.

Imagine if we get this contract.

The world's always going
to need paper, right?

Exactly, very exciting.

When he get's here, I want to
take him on a tour of the mill,

so we have to make sure
everything is...

[phone rings]

...Uh, perfect.

Hello.

I have a Mr. Bill Simmons
calling for you.

Oh, ok.

Fiona, great, put him through.

Mr. Simmons, uh yeah,
that's so funny,

we were just talking
about you.

Yeah, looking very forward
to your visit.

...Next week?

Ah... Well, actually, I was
planning on being out of
town next week.

No, no, of course, I understand,
I do, it's just um...

I'm going to have to get back
to you on that one, okay?

Um, I do appreciate
the call though.

Thank you. Bye.

That didn't sound good.

Not good at all.

He's enjoying something.

I am not sure if it's my book
or your coffee.

I'm sure it's your book.

Okay, maybe it's both.

♪ I love you, ♪

♪ Land of Sunshine ♪

♪ Half your beauties
are untold ♪

♪ I loved you
in my childhood ♪

♪ And I loved you
when I'm old ♪

♪ I... ♪

[laughing]
Oh, Lee!

You're home early.

No. Lee...

Mr. Simmons can only meet
with me next week.

But don't worry, we're still
going to go to Los Angeles.

Life is too short.

I don't need his business.

No, Lee.

His business is important
to you.

So, it's important to me.

You are the most important
thing to me.

I know.

You show me all the time.

You sure?

Mmmhmm.

I am going to pay for this,
aren't I?

[laughs]

You have no idea.

I think I do.

(Elizabeth) Great job today!

Have a good dinner!

Bye! Bye!

And don't forget to read
at least 20 pages tonight.

I read 220 pages.

Well, you get an 'A'
for effort.

Thank you.

I think your stories and your
characters are wonderful.

Really?

Yeah, they're quite good.

Well, I'm so glad you feel
that way.

But...

There's a but?

In order to publish these, I
think you need to go deeper.

What do you mean, "deeper"?

The school teacher, Elsa,

she's strong, feisty,
independent, a lot like you.

She's a character though.
She isn't me.

I guess what I'm trying
to say is

I didn't feel enough from her.

I wanted to feel
that internal struggle.

I see.

Well, thank you very much
for reading these.

You've certainly given me
a lot to think about.

I guess I should be going back
to the saloon.

This was really nice of you.

My pleasure.

Elizabeth...

Your stories are good,
but they could be great.

My mother always used
to tell me,

'that the best writing comes
right from the heart.'

Thank you.

Ladies.

Hey Bill.

Hey.

Why the suit?

What?

I wear a suit from time to time.

No, you don't.

Aren't you supposed
to be on a train?

That was postponed

Everything ok?

Ah, just work.

Hmm.

How's Rosemary with that?

Ugh. She was really looking
forward to this trip.

Lee, the whole town has been
talking about the movies,

and the sand, and the sun.

I hope you have a plan
to make it up to her?

You're right.

I need a plan to make it
up to her.

Gotta hold onto
that wedded bliss-

Marion!

What do you think about
something like this?

It's nice.

Don't you just love the lace?

Mmmhmm, yeah.
It's nice.

Don't you have anything
to say but 'nice'.

I don't know anything
about dresses.

But I do know you could be
wearing a potato sack

and you'd still be the most
beautiful woman in the room.

Oh, that's really sweet.

But I still want your thoughts
on these dresses.

Okay.

Well, it looks like you're
partial to long sleeves.

Because I was thinking of having
an outdoor wedding.

Outdoor?

-Mmmhmm.
-Sure.

That way we could invite
the whole town.

The whole town, wow.

See, I was thinking we'd limit
it to family and close friends.

But I've always dreamed
of having a big wedding.

Your first one was small?

Smaller than small.

Then we're going to make this
the wedding of your dreams.

What about...

[typewriter clacking]

You can't be serious?

As if my job wasn't
hard enough.

Fine.

Everything okay?

Not really.

My publisher told me we're going
to print right away

and I need to file
my story tonight.

Haven't you already interviewed
a bunch of people?

A few, but everyone's been
pretty tight-lipped

about Henry Gowen's past.

I don't like telling
half a story.

You know, people here
have their differences,

but I've found they usually
stick together.

You've been in Hope Valley long?

Not long at all.

I came here from San Francisco.

What brought you here?

The town had trouble getting
their telephones to work.

And you fixed them?

Uh-huh. It was easy as pie.

Oh, that's fantastic.

Oh, and we'll need somebody
to operate it too.

Okay, great.

I'll wire you the money
right away.

Thank you so much, bye.

Something going on
at the mill?

No, no, no. Much more important
than that.

Elizabeth.

Hi.

Sorry about the other day.

We were interrupted
mid-conversation.

No need to apologize.

Besides, Lucas had to tell you
all about his books.

Actually, I was referring to
the quarrel between the boys.

Of course,

Uh... can I help you
with something?

I am just about to do my rounds.

I just wanted to say that Allie
seems really happy

you've made Hope Valley
your home.

I am too.

Anyway, I should let you get
to your rounds.

Elizabeth...

I, um, wanted to say...

Never mind.

What?

Cat got your tongue?

Yeah maybe... or
my better judgment.

Well, let me know
when you figure it out.

That reporter wanted
to talk to me.

Well, I'm guessing,
she just wanted some dirt.

Well, what she wanted
and what she got,

are two different things.

Hello?

Elizabeth.

Hi.

I was just- um, excuse me.

So, what did you do now?

I offered her some
free advice.

You want some free advice?

What's that?

Don't offer free advice.

Thank you so much.

Thank you.

Rosemary, are you alright?

Oh, I'm trying to be.

I'm really disappointed.

I was looking forward
to that vacation.

I just have to remind myself
Los Angeles will still be there

in a couple of weeks.

It sure will.

Mmmhmm.

Oh, what about Lucas?

Did he talk to you
about your stories?

He did.

Not very helpful.

Oh, dear.

Everyone is entitled
to their opinions.

Some opinions rub you
the wrong way.

Say no more.

Well, the problem is now
it just feels awkward.

Well, Elizabeth,

when it comes to sharing
something as personal

as your writing,

I always say,
proceed with caution.

Wait a minute, I thought
you said you never know

where a good idea
will come from.

Well, I say a lot of things.

[laughs]

Aces and eight's.

Flush.

You're having a worse night
than usual.

The cards will turn my way.
They usually do.

Really?

Week started off right.

I mean, Faith came back.

That's right.

Things still going okay
with you two?

Yeah.

Then why the 'look'?

What look?

That look you get
when you got a bad hand.

What?

I've got a 'look'?

A little one.

Faith was offered this great job
in Hamilton.

and she doesn't know
if she's gonna take it or not.

So if you don't ask her to stay,
she may leave you.

And if I do ask her to stay,

she might miss this
great opportunity.

Well, I wouldn't want to be you
right now.

(Bill) Deal 'em up, Bouchard.

Biscuits, I like those ones.

Oh, there it is.

There you are.

Thank you, Ned.

Mr. Gowen.

Ned, could you post this for me?

Certainly.

Did my drill bits
or chain tongs come in?

I haven't seen anything for you,
Henry.

Oh, my.

Fiona!

Well, I'll be.

(Ned) You gotta see this!

What's going on?

She just asked to take
my picture.

I had no idea.

Am I still quoted?

-Hey.
-Hi.

Did you know that Fiona
has eight siblings?

I read the article.

Everyone is talking about it.

How are you doing?

I'm good.

I'm sorry.

You must be so disappointed.

I just thought that she wanted
to talk to me

about the business.

But all she wanted to talk about
was the past.

And you didn't.

Well...

Look, Fiona just told
her whole story.

Maybe that's what
readers want.

I think Fiona's whole story

might be a little more sunny
than mine.

[laughter]

You agreed to the interview,
didn't you?

I did. I did.

I don't know, I think I just
have to accept that some folks

are not going to look beyond
the past with me.

Do you know how I know
that's not true.

From what I hear this reporter
interviewed plenty of people

around town and not one of them
brought up your past.

They protected you.

[sighs]

We take care of our own,
Henry.

And that includes you.

Lucas, everything in place?

It's happening.

You're sure?

It's gotta be special.

Oh, it will be.
Don't worry.

Ok.

Maybe it was just a dream.

Maybe I'm not cut out
to be a writer.

Hello.

Oh, sorry.

I didn't- I didn't know
that you were busy.

Not at all.

[baby giggles]

The kid's got quite an arm.

He sure does.

Hey, what are you reading?

"A Collection of Frontier
Stories" by...

Elizabeth Thatcher.

That's you, isn't it?

Mmmhmm.

I didn't know you were a writer?

I am not.

I think that book
says otherwise.

Well, I've been told that my
writing should be deeper, so.

What does that mean?

Apparently, the best writing
comes straight from the heart.

So, what's in your heart?

Mum!

You'll know when
you figure it out.

Want to say bye-bye
to the horse?

Sweetheart.

Uh, yes.

Oh, there you are.

I was actually hoping maybe
you would wear

your Los Angeles dress tonight.

Oh, Lee.

That's too fancy for the café.

Ok. I am going to let you in
on a little secret.

We're not actually going
to the café.

I bought out the saloon
and Lucas is arranging

to have a nice little dinner
just for the two of us.

So, since it's our anniversary,

it would mean a lot
if you would wear this.

What do you say?

Of course, I will.

Thank you.

There you go.

There we go.

Do you think Lucas
will be disappointed

that I'm not surprised?

Oh, I'm sure he'll get over it.

Because believe me,
I could act surprised.

How's this?

[loud gasp]

Convincing, but unnecessary.

Well, I could go bigger,
or I could tone it down.

[small gasp]

Why don't we just have a nice
meal together, how's that?

If you insist.

Thank you.

(All) Happy Anniversary!

[applause]

Oh, Lee, what have you done!

Happy anniversary, sweetheart.

We're going to Los Angeles soon,
I promise that.

But in the meantime,

I thought I would bring a little
bit of Los Angeles to you.

Oh!

Come on, this way,
come on.

A movie projector!

Ok. Everyone.

I would like to first of all
thank Lee

for bringing the first motion
picture to Hope Valley.

[applause]

Oh, my goodness!

Very exciting.

This is going to be quite
a treat.

Mr. Bouchard?

Everyone ready?

(All) Yes!

Yes!

We're ready.

Lights.

Projector.

Music.

Oh!

Ooh.

[applause]

Oh, Lee.

It really is like magic!

Thank you so much,
that was wonderful.

You're very welcome.

Wasn't it?

-It's incredible.
-It was.

A dog?

I know the dog!

You're very welcome,
you're very welcome.

Oh, Lee!

You are the best husband ever.

I don't know about that, but
if I am it's because of you.

Happy anniversary, sweetheart.

Happy anniversary.

Lucas.

Elizabeth.

I just want to say-

You're right. What do I know
about writing?

Look, my mother is the expert
in the family, not me,

and apologies for sticking
my nose

where it didn't belong.

I'm really glad that you did.

You... you are?

You were right.

I'm sorry, can you repeat that?

I do need to go deeper with
my writing and I'm going to.

I can't wait to see what you do
with your stories.

Oh, no, no. I'm not
rewriting them.

Oh, I thought...

I'm putting away my short
stories away

and I'm writing a novel.

That's great.

Thank you.

So, what did you think?

I loved it.

Especially the music.

What's wrong?

I think you should take it.

The job.

It sounds too good to pass up.

We can have a long-distance
relationship.

It's been done before.

That's true.

What do you think?

Welcome back!

Oh, thank you.

And how is your father?

Much better.

Oh, good.

And how have you been?

I've been well.

I missed it here.

And we all missed you.

Especially Carson.

Did he?

Absolutely.

One hundred percent.

(Lucas) Can I have everyone's
attention?

Because we all had
so much fun tonight,

how does everyone feel about
a movie night once a month?

[applause]

Yeah?

Alright!

Faith!

Faith, why did you leave?

I just needed some fresh air.

We didn't finish
our conversation.

I thought we had.

No, there's something I need
to tell you I haven't said yet.

I want you to hear what I have
to say loud and clear.

Okay.

I love you, Faith Carter.

You have to choose
what's right for you.

But I just hope that choice
includes me.

I love you, too.
