When Calls the Heart.

How are those
insurance claims coming?

I am hosting a legal clinic

at the schoolhouse
tomorrow night.

I would love to come.

That's MacGinty.
What are we still doing here?

Let's go arrest the guy.

We'll know if it's arson
in a day or two.

I'm right about this one.

We stopped to have
some stew for lunch

with just a small cooking fire.

If we were responsible for--

Starting the fire.

Boys, why don't you
tell Constable Grant

what you told
your parents and me?

Here you go, fellas.

Thank you.

When we went out
to set trail markers,

Toby and I decided to make
a fire.

Uh...

We wanted to heat up some stew,
but then we put it out.

I doused it
with water, buried the coals.

From what Cooper told me,
they did everything right.

Where exactly
did you light this fire?

Do you remember?

Up the north side,
just past Bellrock.

Uh, we could take you there.

No.

It's okay, we know Bellrock.

As soon as the fire site
is safe,

we'll head up to inspect.

Did either of you

actually see this fire start?

No.

We didn't notice anything until
we were almost down North Ridge.

That's when we smelled smoke.

And just like that,

we were surrounded by fire.

I promise, I thought it was out.

We must've missed a step.

We're so sorry.

It's all right.

You both did great in there.

I'm so proud of you boys
for telling the truth.

I wish we never made that fire.

So, we still don't know
what caused the fire.

And if it was the boys?

Well, they're minors,

so this will go on their record.

They may have some
community service, but...

they won't serve any jail time.

I do have to warn you
that if Cooper and Toby

are found responsible,

your family could be liable for
all property loss and damage.

And that's half the town.

We can't possibly pay for that.

What do we do?

Well, you can certainly
fight it in court.

So, my advice

is to get the best lawyer
you can.

The sooner the better.

♪

Edie, I'm so sorry.

I got...

I got stuck at this
ridiculous dinner,

and by the time I ran over
to the meeting,

everyone had left.

Well, once people realized
the Governor wasn't joining,

as I had promised,

no one saw a reason to stay.

I really am sorry.

It was an important

last-minute meeting
for my campaign.

You know what?

In my work in Capital City,

I spend a lot of time
around politicians.

And they always complained
about the same thing.

The compromises,

the tough choices,
the games.

But deep down,

in their core,

they loved it.

Edie, I can assure--

I thought maybe
you were different.

That you wanted
to change the rules.

I guess I was wrong.

Now, if you'll excuse me,

my clients expect
my full attention.

Not compromises.

Whoa! New saddle.

Newton is gonna love it.

Actually, this is for Oliver's
official service horse.

We get him in on Monday.

I thought he didn't get
a horse until he's 18.

Well, after Sunday,
he'll be 18.

Sunday?!

Oh, my goodness.

I have so much to do.

Uh...

Bye, Dad!

Oh! Sorry, Judge Avery.

Where's she off to
in such a hurry?

I think I might have just
released the hounds on someone.

It's Oliver's birthday
this weekend.

Well, at least someone
will be enjoying themselves.

Yeah, huh... I know.

I really hate
this part of the job.

Well, we still have MacGinty
we can look into.

We bring him in for questioning.

All right,
I'll get him in today.

Anything so we don't
have to charge those boys.

Here you go.

Oh! Well, I had wondered where

you two scampered off to
after breakfast.

Yep. Just wanna show you
what we've been working on.

I thought Goldie could use it
for her dolls.

Mm-hmm.

This is fantastic!

- And I made this for myself.
- Oh!

-Goodness.
-Arr!

Oh! Oh, oh, oh.
All right now, just...

-Arr!
-Oh, gosh. Ahh.

Well, I can tell
the craftsmanship is quite good.

Can I walk Goldie
to daycare again?

Gwen, of course.

Thank you.
That's very helpful.

Gwen's gonna walk you
to daycare, all right?

Off you go.

Hm.

Bye-bye!

- Arr!
- Oh, oh...

That's enough.

It was good for me to get back
to making something again.

Which...

-got me thinking.
-Hmm.

You know how last night
at the meeting,

a lot of people were
complaining about

the construction companies
jacking their prices

to profit off Benson Hills
and their tragedy.

-Yes, it's terrible.
-It-it's reprehensible.

So, what if we expand

Coulter Lumber into
Coulter Construction?

A one-stop shop for
the Benson Hills rebuild.

What do you think?

Well, Lee, I...

I think it's wonderful.

My mom says it was arson.

I heard it was Old Man MacGinty.

That's why Mayor Coulter
went after him.

Focus on your reading, please.

What does arson mean?

Someone did this to us.

A fire like that
doesn't just happen.

I know how difficult
this is for you all.

Though it may be tempting,

until we have
all of the answers,

we shouldn't be sharing
unfounded rumors.

Now, let's turn our attention
to science, please.

We have a witness
that saw you

entering the park
with a can of fuel

the day of the fire.

Oh, yeah? Who?

We're asking the questions.

Your history with the park
makes you a person of interest.

Now, you can choose to withhold
information or not cooperate.

But that didn't serve you
very well last time, did it?

Look, A.J.

we know you lost
your ranch in the fire.

We don't wanna drag this out
any more than we have to.

But if it was you entering
the park with a can of fuel

on the day of the fire...

What do you expect us
to think?

It wasn't fuel,
it was a cat.

Excuse me?

I was burying my cat.

So, the...

the can was a cat?

I buried the cat in the can
to protect it from wildlife

so he could rest in peace,
all right?

Do you expect us to--

His name was Mr. Mittens.

He was a Maine Coon and
the best mouser I ever had.

Well, I'm inclined
to believe you.

Because I don't know why anybody
would make up a story like that.

But it still puts you
in the forest

the day of the fire.

And you could have set
that fire after the...

burial.

Fine.

Ask the barkeep
at Shivering Timbers.

-Hold on. Shivering...
-Shivering Timbers.

In Benson Hills.

I was there all afternoon.

Toasting the memory of Mittens?

Mr. Mittens.

And there you are,
15 cents change.

Thank you, Denise.

Oh. Good afternoon, Minnie.

Good afternoon, Ned.

- Florence.
- Minnie.

How are the jam sales going?

-Oh...
-Pretty good, I suppose.

More folks are buying
provisions since the fire.

-Mmm. And they do love the jam.
-They do.

Oh. That's wonderful.

Would you be able to sell more
if I brought in a double batch

this week and
the next few weeks?

We wouldn't be able to...
to-to pay you up front.

But of course, um...
you'll keep

all the-the proceeds
of what we sell.

All right, I'll bring some
more jars.

-Very good.
-Minnie, are you all right?

Yes. Yes, of course.

Uh... see you both tomorrow.

-Cheerio.
-Good day.

All right.

-Hmm.
-Hmm.

Oh. Back already?

Yeah.

Found the barkeep.

He's been living in Buxton
since the fire.

So did A.J.'s story check out?

Seems so.

MacGinty talked
the poor guy's ear off

about Mittens all afternoon.

I think you mean Mr. Mittens.

Yeah, well,
without another lead,

that just leaves--

I know.

We keep looking.

Hi.

Hi.

Oh, no.

Bad day?

Started bad
and then it got worse.

We cleared MacGinty.

-So, Cooper and Toby?
-Yeah.

It's looking like it
more and more.

Oh, those poor boys.

And their families.

Well, is there anything
we can do to protect them?

I can't withhold
our strongest lead

from my report, but...

I can redact their names
because they're minors.

- It's not much--
- But it's something.

Yeah.

Have I told you lately

how impeccable
I think you are?

Not lately.

Hey there, you two.

You seem awful chipper.

I'm planning a surprise party.

Oliver turns 18 on Sunday.

And it'll be his
first birthday party.

-Ever?
-Ever!

And hear me out...

I'm thinking... circus.

Okay...

Maybe a circus
is a bit overboard.

Well, what do you think
Oliver would want?

Probably something smaller.

More personal.

Sounds about right.

I don't know, I just...

I really want it
to be special.

Allie, I think whatever you do,
it's going to be special.

Do you think
you could both help?

Yes.

Oh!

You're the best.

Maisie...

Those aren't the clothes
we put out for donation.

Well, I made some
executive decisions.

You know, I must say, Mei.

You and Michael are two peas
in a pod.

Neither one of you
has much fashion sense, hm.

Oh...

I'm all for donating
for a good cause.

But she's even taking
the matching hats

we got on our honeymoon.

And your blue suit.

You wore this at our wedding.

She's never liked me in blue.

But... Mike.

You're not gonna say anything?

I found with Maisie,
it's best to just...

pick your battles.

Well, in order for that to work,

you actually have to pick
some battles.

Enjoy.

Hi, Allie.
The usual?

Not today.

I just came by to give you this.

Ooh.

It's a surprise party
for Oliver.

Thanks anyway,
but I can't come.

Why, are you working?

Maybe the Yosts can cover
your shift.

I don't think I should go.

But everyone's gonna be there.

It was me and Cooper.

We lit a fire in the woods

when you and Opal
were off and...

Obviously, that must've been
what started the fire.

Oh, Toby.

We told the Constable,

so everybody's gonna know
soon enough.

So, I don't think
you want us at your party.

Hey, so I talked to everyone,

and they're all on board
for the expansion.

What? What is it?

I read the most recent
RCMP report about the fire.

A.J. MacGinty was in the woods
on the day of the fire.

I knew it!

He did not start it.

He didn't?

He was burying his cat,
one Mr. Mittens.

He was back in Benson Hills
and accounted for

by the time the fire started.

Well...

Back to square one.

Still have no idea
who started the fire.

Well...

There is one more thing
in the report.

Mm-hmm?

The only lead now is two kids
from Hope Valley.

An accidental fire
that got out of control.

The kids who went hiking.

Yes.

You're not gonna publish that,
though, right?

No, I will not.

But I'm sure
the Benson Hills Beetle will.

Have you seen this?

Don't want to.

Can you do me a favor?

There's something missing
from this shepherd's pie,

and I don't know what it is.

Basil.

I already put some in.

-Hmm.
-Pepper, maybe.

-Elizabeth.
-I know.

I know.

If you had heard the children
whispering in class today,

everyone's just looking
for someone to blame.

Once they figure out
it was those boys...

You just find a way
to stop the speculation.

Well, maybe if people
heard it directly from you,

then you could answer
their questions.

Call a meeting.

At least for the people here
in town.

I think gossip is always worse
than the truth.

That is a great idea.

Hmm.

Paprika.

Paprika!

Baby, I just heard from
Nathan and Elizabeth.

They're calling a town meeting
about the fire investigation.

Are they gonna talk
about Cooper?

I don't know.

But we should go.

I need to focus
on what I can control.

Baby, what's...
what's all this?

I called that defense lawyer
Bill recommended.

And he's not cheap.

What about Edie?
Can't she help us?

No, she's one of the victims
of the fire, too.

So, it's a conflict
of interest,

and we need the best.

I know it's hard.

But what Cooper did
was an accident.

We're gonna be all right.

I have faith.

How can we pay for
Angela's tuition

and a good lawyer for Cooper?

Joseph, you can put
all your trust

in God's hands.

But right now,

I need to use the hands
God gave me.

I can do both.

Put me to work.

Thank you all for being here
on such short notice.

Now, we know that
the fire investigation

is a topic of great interest.

I'm sure many of you
have read the article

in the Benson Hills Beetle.

So, we're here today
to give you the facts

of the investigation,

quell any rumors,
and answer any questions

that you may have.

Is it true that you questioned
A.J. MacGinty?

Why hasn't he been arrested?

- Yeah!
- Yeah, why?

A.J. MacGinty had a verified
alibi during the fire.

He's no longer a suspect.

But we are still looking--

The Beetle says two kids
from Hope Valley

started the fire.
Is that true?

What?

Calm down, everyone.
Calm down.

It's true that there was
a group of kids

hiking in the woods
at the time,

and they lit a small
camping fire.

But it is still
under investigation.

There's no proof yet that
that is what caused

the wildfire.

But that is what you suspect.

Under investigation does not
mean arrested or convicted.

Is it true that your daughter
was one of those hikers?

All right, let's just remember
that the people of Hope Valley

took us in during our time
of need.

Now, what we need right now
is a little trust.

Right.

We wanna believe that you are
telling us all you know

and not putting your kids...

and your jobs ahead of closing
this out.

You all get to sleep
in your own beds.

It's easy to forget that
some of us have nothing.

Mayor Hickam...

we are working
as quickly as we can,

but not quicker.

Well, it sure sounds like
you're keeping secrets.

It sure does!

We want answers!

We need to know
what's going on!

I know how hard it is
waiting for answers.

You all have lost so much,
and everyone is just

looking for "why".

But what if

it does turn out

that all of this happened
because some kids

lit a campfire?

What if your suffering
isn't caused by anyone

trying to hide the truth
from you or hurt you?

What if it really was
just a terrible accident?

As much as you're hurting,
finding blame today

isn't going to bring back
your homes

or restore your businesses.

When you all showed up
in Hope Valley

with the few things
you could carry,

we became a community.

And that's the only way
we're going to get through this.

I just feel
so helpless, Nathan.

I know.

I mean, if it was our kids,
what would you do?

I would make sure they felt
loved and supported

No matter the outcome.

Well, then that's exactly
what we're gonna do

for Cooper and Toby.

Cooper!

Cooper! Cooper Canfield!

What do you think you're doing?

I don't wanna
burden you anymore.

I read that,
and it's nonsense.

I heard you and Dad last night.

I know I'm ruining
everyone's lives.

It's better if I go.

You listen to me.

You have never been
and will never be a burden.

You and Dad have so much
to worry about.

With Angela, with the church.

I'm supposed to be the easy one.

If Angela has to leave school

because of my mistake...

I won't be able
to live with myself.

Cooper.

Please hear this.

You've brought us light and joy

since the day you were born.

And this accident,
this mistake...

it changes nothing.

You are known.

And you are loved.

Okay?

After all the business
I've done at your bank,

this is what you pull?

Forget the loan.

I'll do it on my own.

There you go.

I got no ranch,
no insurance,

and no loan.

I'm ruined.

You got your wish.

So, after we check
on the cupcakes

and pick up the balloons,
we'll be all set to decorate.

Hi Maxine, Rupert.

Um, maybe this whole party
is a mistake.

What?

It's not too late to cancel it.

Why would you say that?

Well, I thought it would be good
to try and have fun together.

Mm-hmm.

But I invited the kids
from Benson Hills,

and none of them are coming.

Allie. Listen.

Everyone heals
at their own pace.

And you are doing something
beautiful for a friend.

Oh.

There's the birthday boy now.

Do you mind if I...

Of course.

Thanks.

Oliver!

Wait up.

Hey, Allie.
Where you headed?

Oh, just doing errands.

Um, how is everything today?

I mean, after that town meeting.

About the same.

Rupert's mother
wouldn't even look at me.

People want answers.
It'll take time.

I know who it was.

Toby told me yesterday.

Then why did you
defend yourself

at the meeting last night?

You let everyone think
it could be you.

It's like Mrs. Thornton said.

It shouldn't matter who it was.

It was an accident.

I taught them
to skip stones this summer.

Now it feels like it'll
never be like that again.

Hey, wanna meet later?

Maybe go for a ride.

Uh, yeah. O-okay. Sure.

Meet at the stables?

Actually, meet at the café.

3:00.

I, uh, gotta bring something
to Mrs. Canfield.

Okay. Yeah, sure.

So, it... it's a date.

Well, it's not a date,
but... a plan.

It's a plan.

I'll see you later.

Can't wait.

Mikey, I am trying
to breathe some life

back into this so-called
garden of yours.

What is it?

Well, Maisie...

You remember how you taught me
not to overcrowd the bulbs,

or else they won't bloom?

Yes, and it doesn't look like
you've been taking that advice.

Well...

Uh, what I'm trying
to say is...

we'll all flourish
if we have our own space

that we respect.

This is our house,

and Mei and I are very happy
to have you here

as long as you need.

But...

Well...

You're not the mayor here.

So, what are the terms?

I'm going to wear blue.

Powder.

-Royal.
-Oh...

Navy.

-Periwinkle.
-Oh, periwinkle.

All of them.

All of them.

All right.

And?

And...

uh, Mei and I would like you
to join us at a birthday party.

A birthday party?

These are your terms, Michael.

Our young Mountie
is turning 18,

and everyone is invited.

Oh, I highly doubt that
some young man is gonna miss

an old lady mayor.

You're exactly who
we need right now.

I saw you at that meeting.

People follow you,
and they always have.

If you show a little
community spirit right now,

you'll inspire everyone else.

Just think about it.

Uh, only if you want to.

Mei, I did it!

Am I, uh,
am I interrupting?

Not at all, my friend.

Good.

Didn't see you at
the town meeting last night.

Wasn't sure if you'd heard
that MacGinty had been cleared.

I did hear that.

Rosie told me about Cooper
and Toby and the campfire.

And I'm so sorry for those boys.

That is a...

terrible weight
to have to carry.

Mmhmm.

How about you?

How you holding up?

-If I'm being honest...
-Mm-hmm.

I don't know right now how
we're gonna get through this.

Yeah.

Aw, Joseph.

It is so hard to sit
in the unknown.

I think that's why I was in
such a rush to blame MacGinty.

I needed to hold
someone responsible

for everything that I'd lost.

You are not alone in that.

Yeah.

Guess I'm no better than
anybody else at that meeting.

Demanding names,
needing someone to blame.

I wouldn't go that far.

-Come on now.
-No, no, no.

You're willing to forgive
Cooper and Toby.

Maybe you can find some
forgiveness for Mr. MacGinty.

He didn't start the fire.

I was...

wrong about that.

That's as far as
I'm willing to go.

You know, Lee.

Mercy means the most
when it's hardest to give.

I hear you have an exciting
announcement to make.

Hmm?

Yes, I do.

I am officially seeking
my second term as your Governor,

and my re-election
campaign begins today.

Well, you heard it
here first, listeners,

on the Valley Voice Radio Hour .

But now tell us,

why would people
give you another term?

I will continue
to think broadly,

and locally,

for all the people
in the territory.

We will be helping
the people of Benson Hills

rebuild their community.

That is a top priority.

In fact, I promise
that the rebuild

of Benson Hills will be
completed within one year.

One year? Governor...

The territory famously
carries a deficit.

How can you make
a promise like that

without money to do it?

You're right.

We do need revenue.

Does that mean raising taxes?

That is...

one way for us to secure
the necessary funds, yes.

Look.

I can tell people
what they wanna hear

about not raising taxes,

and then do exactly that
when I'm in office.

But I'm not going
to lie to you.

I am going to do
everything in my power

to bring our community
back onto its feet.

Allie!

Everything looks incredible.

You pulled it off
in record time.

Thanks for all your help.

Aww.

Well, Oliver will be here soon.

There's no one here
from Benson Hills.

I know you did your best,
kiddo.

But it looks like
somebody showed up.

Maisie. You made it.

Thank you for coming.

Thanks for the nudge.

We so appreciate you coming,
Mayor Hickam.

Oh, my gosh.

Look!

Oh!

Oh, my goodness.

I am so happy you're here.

You were right.
This is our community now too.

Oh.

Hi, Allie.
You look really nice.

Ready to go?

Actually, there's something
I wanna show you first.

Come with me.

Surprise!

Happy birthday, Oliver.

You did all this?

Well, I know you never
got to have a party, so...

Something for
every birthday you missed.

It's sort of like
18 birthdays in one.

What do you think?

I think this is
the best thing ever!

Thank you.

Well, were you surprised?

More like shocked and amazed.

Glad to hear it.

Let's get this party started.
- Yes!

Cornhole?

Where's Cooper?
He's the master.

Where is he?

And Toby?

I invited them, but...

I guess they decided
not to come.

You know.

Yeah.

This is all incredible, but...

I promise I'll be right back.

Remember what
Oliver said.

Loosen your wrist a little more
and then fling it.

It's not just the wrist,
you also gotta snap the elbow.

Oliver,
what are you doing here?

Yeah, isn't your
birthday party now?

It is, but you guys
weren't there.

Trust me, that's how
you want it.

Yeah. We set the fire,
and you're a Mountie.

You shouldn't be
hanging out with us.

You didn't do
anything on purpose.

You're not criminals.

Anyway, the whole point
of a birthday party

is being with
your friends, so...

if you're not going,
I'm not going.

Okay.

But we have one condition.

He's not back yet.

Gather round, everyone.

I just wanna say
something really quick.

Thank you all for coming to
my first ever birthday party.

Before I came to Hope Valley,

I didn't really
have friends, but...

now I do.

And I feel like
the luckiest guy.

Because friends
are always there for you.

I'm glad I was able
to convince my two pals,

Toby and Cooper,
to join me here today.

They have something
they wanna say to all of us.

Our cooking fire
sparked the wildfire.

It was a horrible accident,
and we're both really sorry.

So, so sorry.

Well.

The first time I convinced
my parents to let me

babysit all of my siblings,

baby Mikey went missing.

Missing!

First rule of babysitting
is don't lose the baby, right?

Oh, I panicked.

Called in the town Mountie,
started a search party.

And do you know
where we found him?

Asleep in the cupboard.

That's our Mikey.

That's right,
even an old mayor like me

has made plenty of mistakes.

I'm pretty sure
everyone here has.

I could keep you all here
most of the night

talking about
all my mistakes, but...

this is a party!

Let's get back to having fun!

♪

Well done.

Constable.

Happy birthday.

-Thank you, Mayor Hickam.
-Mm-hmm.

Isn't that your tie?

I left the blue tie for you,
Michael.

Even if it does wash you out.

-Well, it's a start.
-Yeah.

Good luck.

Elizabeth.

We heard about
your beautiful speech

at the town meeting.

Thank you for
inspiring all this.

I just said the truth.

Cooper is an incredible kid.

He's the inspiration.

And he deserves
everyone's support.

Well, just knowing
we have that support

is enough to see us through.
- Mm.

Oh, my goodness!

All right!

That was the best party
I've ever had.

Oliver, it's the only party
you've ever had.

I, um...

I didn't get a chance
to give this to you.

You didn't have to get
me anything.

This collection made me
fall in love with poetry.

Thank you.

I got something for you, too.

You're not supposed to get
other people gifts

on your birthday.

It's actually from
your birthday.

I didn't get to give it to you
last year.

I hope now's okay.

You kept it all this time?

Go ahead.

Oliver.

It's a wolf.

'Cause, well...
you love nature.

And you're so...

Brave.

It's really beautiful.

Thank you.

Here, you have to...

Allie really did a great job
on that party.

Yep. It's a special group
of kids.

I tend to think that
all kids are special.

That's because of you.

You know that, right?

Those kids being generous today

and showing up for
Toby and Cooper, that's...

That's because of you,
Elizabeth.

You inspire them.

I'd say it was more
of a team effort.

Well, I'm proud to be
on your team,

Elizabeth Thornton.

Disaster has a way of breaking
things down beyond recognition,

shattering the world around us.

You look around
and you think your life

will never be whole again.

But when you accept
a little help,

you can start to put
the pieces back together.

There we go.

Got it?

You may be surprised
to find what you end up with.

A.J.

I've come to apologize.

I never should've accused you
of starting that fire,

and I definitely...

Well, I shouldn't
have lost my temper.

So, I am here today to humbly
ask you for a favor.

Would you be willing to

let me launch my
construction company

by building you a cabin here?

I don't need your charity.

Well, that's good news, because
this wouldn't be charity.

I would be using the cabin as
a model for prospective clients.

I guess that could work.

Good.

There is one more thing, Lee.

Right. Yes, of course.

Uh, the most important thing,
as a matter of fact.

May
we suggest the name...

Dr. Socks?

Oh, my...

Because loss...

always comes with
a hidden gift.

And when we lean on
our community,

there are greater riches
to be found.
