Previously on, When Calls the Heart. Mrs. Thornton, could Jamie come to

school with us? I'm so delighted at how he's just come to life since we've been

here. This is a long way from home. Which would mean we'd have to plan to

stay here. Maybe even move here.

Let me guess.

Henry, what does he, you gentlemen, want to talk about?

The healing power of working with your hands.

I thought you could build something for the town. I have felt a lot of things in

my time with Rosemary, but I have never felt this helpless.

Hi, you two.

I mean, three.

Do you want to hold her?

Yes, please.

Why does the world look so different because she's in it?

Madeline? Bill?

Two coffees, cream and sugar.

Thank you for making my life easy.

You're welcome, Mike.

Lovely weather this morning.

Should be a good day.

A good day to sell me the town land?

As I've said, it's not my land to sell. You'd think the mayor would have a

little pull around here.

You'd think.

Of course, any old land with palatial views and a mountain stream would do.

Or just a stream.

Off to school. Bye, Mother.

Thank you so much for letting me sleep in. Oh, but who needs sleep when you can

spend every minute just looking at her?

Oh, goodness.

Whoa.

Hard to believe it's been three weeks already, huh?

What was that?

Oh, that, I, what?

The ladies. What ladies?

The ladies were going to come and drop off food, but that wasn't until... Nine?

No. Oh,

just a minute. We're coming. Oh, the place.

I'm going to help. I'm helping.

Not that.

We're coming.

Yep. Hold on.

Okay. It's not so bad. It's not too bad.

Sweetheart, what do you think? Ready? Door? No.

Hold on. Just a minute. Almost there.

Food delivery.

Okay.

We good? Yes. Okay, all right.

Ladies, right on time.

Please, do come in. Please.

Thank you.

She gets more precious every day. Look at those rosy cheeks.

She's just waking up. Ladies, can I interest you in a tea, perhaps?

Lee, don't you even dare. Rosemary, sit. Both of you. I've got the tea.

We've all been there.

Thank you. It really is such a pleasure having you visit. Now, have the two of

you decided on a name? Oh, yes. What do we call the little sweetheart?

Well, Lee and I haven't quite decided.

There's just so many options, and some good, many, many bad.

Hey. Well, she's just so perfect, and we want to find the most absolutely perfect

name. The perfect name.

for the perfect baby girl.

This is coming along nicely.

Yeah, up and down.

Henry, I don't think I've ever heard you make a joke before.

I suppose I'm not exactly known for my humor.

Seems you're discovering all sorts of new talents.

Well, Joseph was right. I am enjoying working with my hands.

Could you take on one more project?

I thought I was the project.

Two jokes.

This is becoming a habit.

What can I do for you?

Well, we're working on a project at school growing plants.

We could use some garden boxes.

Well, I'm sure I can muster up some wood around here and make that for you.

Wonderful. Great. I will bring the children by tomorrow to help you build

them. Thank you so much, Henry.

You want me to build them with the children?

If that's all right. Well, I might be more efficient if I...

I'll see you tomorrow.

It took my carrot seed 16 days to germinate into a sprout. And in another

two months, it'll be ready to eat.

I can't wait.

Thank you very much, Emily.

So now that each of you have presented your seedlings, it's time to move on to

the next step, planting them.

Yes, Sarah.

Well, Mr. Gowan has offered to build us some garden boxes at the playground

where there's lots of sunshine for your plants to grow big and strong.

Each of you will plant your seedling and then track its progress as it grows.

What about my pumpkin?

It'll go in the garden with the rest of the vegetables.

But will it be safe?

Yes, very safe.

We'll make sure of that.

All right, everyone.

Class dismissed.

I'll be back in a second.

All right.

Hi.

You ready for your big excursion?

Two days in the wilderness, just me and Allie and a bunch of unsuspecting trout.

Thank you for giving her the day off school.

It's not a problem.

The class is doing an outdoor project, so your trip is the perfect complement.

You know, to be honest, I'm a little nervous.

Our conversations really haven't been as easy as they used to be.

Just... teenagers.

Dad, can Angela come on our camping trip with us? Oh, Allie, I wouldn't want to

be in the way. No, uh, yes.

Please. If it's okay with your parents.

And, um, Mrs. Thornton, of course.

Of course it is. You girls have fun. Thank you. You're welcome.

All right.

Tell me again, how exactly does...

Applying mud to my face cleaned my face. Not mud.

Clay. May says it draws the impurities out of your skin.

Lung bean, green tea, and honey ginseng.

My grandmother's traditional medicine journals describe the properties.

The recipes have been used for hundreds of years.

Huh.

Food is skin care.

It's brilliant.

May's a genius.

No, my grandma Sue's a genius.

I really wish you got to know her better.

I'd like to make a hair appointment.

Oh, all right.

Oh, what do you have there?

It's our premier spa treatment, a face and body mask made straight from the

waters and clay of our very own hot springs.

Well, how are you enjoying it?

Oh, well, in fact, this is my second treatment this week.

I can't get enough.

How splendid. I think I'll try it.

Three o'clock tomorrow?

It's a date. Wonderful. Thank you.

I think we just got our first customer.

Going camping for two days and missing school on Friday? We don't want you

getting hurt all the way up there. I'll have my guide stick, and I'll be with

Constable Grant.

He'll help me.

I don't know, sweetheart.

What if Dad comes?

Well, I'd love to go, but I have work at the sawmill, I have to fix the railings

on those fences, not to mention my sermons. Just because you're busy

shouldn't mean I don't get to go.

Next time, I promise.

Please? It's really important to me.

I know you're looking at each other.

All right, you can go.

If you finish your homework beforehand.

And you promise to always listen to Constable Grant.

Yes, yes, I promise. Thank you.

I love you. Love you. Love you.

Don't look at me.

That's not why I'm looking at you.

This town has given a whole lot of good things to our family.

I got a to-do list a mile long.

I don't want to let people down.

You are giving a lot of good things to this community and our family.

Maybe it's time to do something good for yourself.

Think about it.

Joseph came by with your lumber quote. I put it on your desk.

Good. Thanks, Mike.

Lumber? Are you building something, Lucas?

I thought you said we were done with renovations in the saloon.

It's a personal project.

Oh, I see.

Cabin in the woods, perhaps.

Maybe he's building a boat. You have to think a little bigger, gentlemen.

Keep this between us.

I'd like to build Elizabeth a house at the edge of town, at the end of North

Road.

Does she want that?

It's meant to be a surprise.

A surprise.

Well, good luck with that.

That's asking for trouble.

It's a logical move.

Plus, it'll have the newest and most innovative features.

I think Elizabeth will quite like it. Well, in my experience, it's best to

discuss this type of thing amongst the two of you.

Well, maybe Elizabeth will surprise us all.

It's your bet.

I'm all in.

Well, she's all tucked in.

Hey. Oh.

I'm so sorry. I didn't realize you were sleeping.

I didn't realize either.

Not again.

Hello. Hello.

We brought more casserole. Wonderful.

Here from Gustav.

Come in.

Please come and eat.

You know, I am always happy to watch the baby and give you two a break.

Oh, well, let me move the diapers. We're eating now.

Thank you.

Oh.

Oh, that looks so good. Thank you. Oh.

Lee.

Sorry.

Lee, that's a diaper.

Uh, right.

At least it's clean.

What if I arrange a dinner for the two of you tomorrow night at the saloon? Our

treat, a grand four-course meal. We'll have wine, candles.

Lucas, that is very thoughtful, but...

it may be hard to leave the baby so soon exactly we couldn't possibly but what if

we could but we couldn't Right, no, no, of course, no, we couldn't. All we'd be

doing is worrying about her, and to be totally honest, I think we would fall

asleep at the table. You two should go.

What? Us?

Yes. I mean, it must be hard for you to find time to see each other. Yes, you

two need a night out. Not just a night out, a date night. A romantic date

night. Date night would be nice. Don't be ridiculous.

I'm not being ridiculous. You could leave little Jack with us. Two is just

as easy as one. That's what I always say. Don't I always say that? Are you

sure about that, Rosemary? Of course. Let me do this.

For you. I would love it. We would both love it. Think of it as a little pre

-honeymoon honeymoon.

Well, it's settled. Well, look at the time. I don't want to keep you.

Thank you so much for dinner.

And there we go. There you go.

So we'll see you tomorrow, 6 p.m. Thank you again so much.

So, now we're going out and they're babysitting.

That's what Rosemary said.

Well, I guess I can't complain.

Bill,

what are you packing for?

A camping trip.

Got something on your mind?

Who said anything's on my mind?

Well, if you're free, actually. There's a widow and a boy.

They're tourists in town.

Tourists that want to move here.

To St. John's. Oh, yeah. She's stuck on buying town land.

She won't consider anything that doesn't have a stream on it.

Real picky.

That is, uh... The truth is, my land has a stream on it. A river, in fact.

But I'm looking to move up there someday and retire.

Live a quiet life.

A quiet life.

You? Well, I like the quiet.

And I like that land.

Bill, you've been trying to sell that land for years. You tried to sell it to

me. Well, that's different.

I know you.

I could never sell it to a stranger. A stranger?

Mike says that she's been having breakfast with you every morning.

She sits in my booth.

Does she?

Yes. Well, it's a tricky situation. I think... Good chat.

Good chat.

All right, everyone, set your seedlings down. This is going to be fun.

Oh, you've got quite the brood here.

I did mention it was the entire class, didn't I? You might have left out that

detail.

All right, everyone, now pay attention to Mr. Gowan. He is going to teach us

all how to build homes for our seedlings.

Who knows how to use a hammer?

Here, go ahead and take one.

All right, there you are. Here, just choke up on it a little bit.

There you are.

Oh, that makes sense.

All right, I'll tell you what. Here's the important thing is when you're just

starting it, just tap a little so you don't go too hard and it bounces back on

you. All right?

Here, somebody want to try it?

Can I?

Go ahead.

Can I hit it hard? You bet. Hit it.

I know it's been four weeks, but...

No, you don't need to remind me of my situation.

I'm well aware.

I'm working on it. I just need a little more time.

I understand.

The new customer, I wanted to see how she likes it. So it's all natural, made

with many local ingredients.

It's simply divine.

Wherever did you come up with such an idea?

Well, May here at- Was top of my class in pharmacology school.

Mixing compounds is my specialty.

Truly fascinating.

I have to finish filling my prescription orders. I'll see you girls later in the

cafe.

Nice work.

I didn't even know I could do that.

It feels good to do something you didn't think you could do. Yeah.

Mrs. Thornton, can we plant our seedlings now?

Uh, I'm afraid that's all for today, Emily. It's getting late.

Sorry.

I'll be here tomorrow if anybody wants to come by. On a Saturday? Are you sure?

Well, I mean, it's all right with you and your parents. Can we please? Please,

Mrs. Thornton.

Anyone who'd like to can come back. Just check with your parents first, and don't

forget to bring your seedlings.

Thank you, Henry. That was very kind of you.

Well, I don't like to leave a job unfinished.

Right.

That's it.

Not that you were actually having a good time.

Still looking for land?

Yes.

And I'm in a bit of a hurry.

The lawyers want me to commit my late husband's holdings.

Anything else you can think of with a stream?

Just bills.

Bill! Bill!

Nice to see you both.

I need to be someplace.

I have some news.

I have found some land for you. A man named Paul Harper is looking to offload

some acreage. Now, it doesn't have a stream.

but it has some great mountain views.

Oh, but without a stream, it won't work for me.

Well, for someone who's looking to move quick, you're awful picky.

I know.

My late husband used to take Jamie fly fishing.

I wanted to bring back some good memories.

Stream and fly fishing, huh?

Oh.

I'm sure something will turn up.

Sadly, time doesn't appear to be on my side.

Bill, I appreciate everything you've done.

Really, I do.

You know, this will be Scout's first camping trip. Really?

Mm-hmm.

Hold up.

I'm coming, too.

You are?

Well, if that's okay with Consul Grant, that is. Of course.

Yes, but more the merrier.

Ah, just in time.

Uh, well...

How's this for a campsite? What do you think?

Looks great to me.

I think that's the best castle I've ever seen.

Would you ever want to live in a castle someday?

Mommy, look. I drew a castle. Lucas, I can live there.

What a lovely place to live.

May I come too?

Absolutely.

Maybe we'll get one for both of you.

A castle in Hope Valley?

That I would like to see. I'll keep that in mind.

Here you go, buddy.

Thanks, buddy.

That was very sweet.

All right, Jack.

Oh, we'd better get going.

We are going over to see Auntie Rosemary and Uncle Lee, and you're going to see

the baby.

Are we still on for tonight?

Six o'clock?

Mm-hmm. Feel free to dress up.

I will.

Well, they've given up.

Already? Yeah.

You know, honestly, I don't even like fishing. It's just an excuse to spend

some time with Allie.

I'm starting to think that's her angle, too.

It's nice to see the girls having such a great time together.

You know, um... Allie talks about Angela a lot.

That's good to hear.

Angela had a tough time making friends in the past.

Allie, too.

I owe you one.

We're coming out here.

What's that?

Two days in the woods with two teenage girls. I mean, if you weren't here, I'd

have nobody to talk to but myself.

I gotcha.

You know, I actually didn't know how it was going to go, looking after two

babies, but I think it's going swimmingly.

I'm not a baby.

You are not. I stand corrected.

You're a big boy.

Oh, uh...

Diaper change. Oh, diaper change. Okay, that's me. It's my turn. I'm on diaper

change duty, pal.

Oh, come here, precious.

Oh, daddy's watching.

Oh, there you go.

Be right back.

This is for my mommy.

It is?

Well, she's going to love it.

This can be for your mommy.

What's her name?

Are you sad, T. Rosemary?

No, I'm not sad.

I'm the happiest I've ever been.

Been.

Been. Been.

I

remember

this dress.

I thought I remembered you liking it.

And Rosemary insisted.

Well, it's not often you and I get a night out on our own.

So might as well take advantage.

After you.

Oh, Lucas.

Please.

Thank you.

Thank you, Mike.

You know, you didn't have to close down the whole saloon for our date.

That's all right.

I know the owner.

I hope you'll thank him for me.

Dinner was fit for a queen.

Speaking of, well, I was wondering how you feel about castle living.

I think anyone would be lucky to live in a purple castle.

Then perhaps I will gift you one as a wedding present.

That sounds like you.

What are you up to?

I want to give you the world.

I would get you the moon right now if I could.

Not sure where I'd keep it.

Then maybe I'll start a little smaller.

A house on a hill with the most beautiful view.

A castle for you and Jack.

Lucas, uh... There's no need to give me an answer right now. It's just, you

know, something to think about.

Of course.

One question.

Would it have a moat?

Of course there would be a moat. Absolutely.

With the drawbridge and everything.

Thank you for tonight. You made it very special.

It's hardly over.

Elizabeth, may I have this dance?

Yes, you may.

Well, let's get to work.

What are you doing?

Getting it done.

Yeah, yeah.

You're doing a great job.

Thanks.

Sarah?

Something wrong?

I don't want my plant to be lonely.

Well, why would your plant be lonely?

Because if I have to leave Hope Valley, you'll miss me.

I see.

I suppose you'll miss your pumpkin too, huh?

But I don't think you'll be leaving.

And since you'll be staying here for a good long while, why don't we look for a

way to make your pumpkin happy in Hope Valley too?

Shall we ask Mr. Gowan?

You, uh, you got a pumpkin there?

Here's the thing about pumpkins.

They like to be together, pollinate, and so that they can grow together.

Really, in a way, they need their friends.

What do you say I scare up some friends for your pumpkin?

Okay.

I would put it here.

I can be a very good pumpkin.

I do too.

To a future where my heart's forged a lyrical bond with no cracks like a

porcelain vase as flowers bloom by the light.

of the shimmering moon.

That's beautiful.

You should submit to the Union City Herald Poetry Contest.

Didn't Mrs. Thornton tell you to?

Yeah, she did.

I don't know.

I'll think about it.

Do you ever sing along?

Well, sometimes.

When I'm alone.

I bet you sound great.

You'll never know until you try.

How about this?

I'll try if you try.

Deal. Rosemary? Yes.

Yes. I'm so sorry. Were you dozing?

No. No, not at all. I was catching up on some laundry while she had a nap.

Thank you again for watching Little Jack last night.

I hope we weren't back too late. No, not at all. How was it?

Uh, good.

Full of surprises.

Lucas tried to ask.

You know, never mind. You should come over for tea as a thank you. I'm sure

you haven't been out of the house in days.

I wish I could, but Lee is napping. He was up all night with the baby, and I am

more tired than I have ever been in my whole life.

You need to take some time for yourself.

It's important for both you and the baby.

And you can start by going upstairs and joining Lee.

No. I'll watch her.

You... You rest.

Are you sure? I'm sure.

Thank you.

What would I do without you?

You'd be very sleepy.

Girls all set up at the lake.

Surely it's nice out here. Yeah.

Been a while since I've been out of town.

Well, you have like 17 jobs, don't you?

Only three, but sometimes it surely does feel like 17.

How'd you manage to get away?

Mm.

Many.

To remind me that a man's life is not just about his vocation.

It's important for me to take time for me.

That must be tough juggling all that.

It surely can be.

I have a tough time saying no.

Well, I think it's good to say no.

Because then you can focus on the things you said yes to.

I didn't take you for the philosophical type. Honestly, I surprised myself with

that one.

All right.

Elizabeth, I'm so sorry. I only meant to close my eyes for a minute. Oh, my God.

Goodness.

How long were we asleep?

Where's the... Baby's with me.

See you at seven for tea.

Love, E.

Huh.

Hey.

What's all this?

Mother says we're leaving.

The car is on the way to take us to the train.

Leaving? Why so sudden?

She says there is no place for us here.

Just hold on.

Hickam, where can I find Madeline St. John?

She's still upstairs.

Said she had to leave.

Maybe you should have sold her your land.

I can see that.

Oh, hi.

Hi, I'm good. I'm glad I caught you.

I wanted to tell you there's a piece of land, rolling fields and

mountain views and, of course, a stream.

Really?

Where in the world did you find it?

It's my land, and I want to sell it to you.

Bill, I... Are you sure?

Well, I'm not using it, so really you'd be doing me a favor.

well since i'd be doing you a favor i accept

what's the deal i'll call my attorney in union city and have him

draw up the deed of sale

Welcome. My goodness.

My precious girl.

I thought you said it was going to be tea.

There will be tea after dinner.

How was she? Good as gold.

She may need a nap.

We set up Little Jack's old crib upstairs just in case.

Well, that's a good idea.

We'll be right back.

Of course.

Great. Oh, please, yes.

You'd think these tourists would know how to push in a chair.

No, no, we're on vacation, darling.

Oh, thank you. You're welcome.

May? Hmm?

Can I ask you, why didn't you tell that tourist that the clay mask is your

grandmother's recipe?

Oh, it's just simpler crediting my pharmacy training.

People ask a lot fewer questions.

Is that all?

It's complicated.

I like complicated.

Being born here, having never been to China, I always felt like such a

stranger to my own culture.

My mother gave up so much to come over, and she wanted me to fit in.

So, I tried to be like everyone else.

And then when I discovered my grandmother's journals, I felt this

overwhelming desire to connect to her and to my roots.

And I felt comfortable using my grandmother's knowledge.

Because I knew I'd be accepted here.

And you are.

Everyone loves you here.

But the tourists.

People like to hear that I've been practicing this knowledge since I was a

little girl, but I'm still figuring it out.

It's okay not to have everything figured out.

Sometimes you just have to focus on what you know.

I know that studying my grandmother's journals and using her recipes is the

happiest I've been in a long time.

And please never apologize for who you are.

Because I think who you are is pretty great.

I guess we needed a break a little bit more than we thought.

I must admit, I have felt like we needed to do everything ourselves, that we

wouldn't be good parents if we asked for help.

Even when our dear friends have told us otherwise.

You two.

have shown us that it is more than all right to ask for help. In fact,

sometimes... it makes all the difference.

Well, on that note, I would like to propose a toast to our wonderful

neighbors. Thank you so much for a splendid evening.

I know that we're both very lucky to have you as friends.

No, wait.

Not friends.

Family.

Your family.

A toast.

To family. You're here.

So what did you two young ladies get up to today?

We found some good skipping rocks by the lakeshore.

Angela almost caught three skips.

And Allie decided to submit to the Union City Herald Poetry Contest.

I did? You did?

Yep. Well, that's great, Allie. What made you decide to submit?

Angela promised to sing for us. I did?

Yep.

just pretend you're alone in your room we aren't even here

this little light

of mine i'm gonna let it shine this little light of mine

i'm gonna let it shine this little light of mine i'm gonna

let it shine let it shine let it shine let it shine

Oh my gosh, that was beautiful.

You sound just like your mama did singing choir back in St. Louis.

Thanks, Daddy.

I'm so glad I was here and I didn't miss this.

Me too.

Well, they got home safe.

I don't want to live in a castle.

Pardon me?

I don't want a house on a hill.

Being here is where I feel happy.

Are you sure?

It would be brand new.

The latest of everything.

Lucas.

It would never feel like home.

This place, I... I have so many memories here.

I have a community here.

I have Rosemary and Lee next door.

Having my best friend over while our babies sleep upstairs.

There's just no house on a hill that could make up for that.

This is what's important to me.

And I hope to you, too.

I did it again, didn't I?

You're a dreamer.

You have these grand ideas, and I would never want to deny you of them, but...

But this is my home.

Our home.

I understand.

I do.

However, even if you don't want to live in a castle, it doesn't mean I won't

stop treating you like a queen.

Good night, milady.

This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine.

This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine.

Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.

What? What?

You didn't think your old man could sing?

This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine.

This little light of mine.

Hello. Hi.

Ned said to tell you that the jars for the face masks arrived today.

Oh, good. You know, once we package these masks for sale, we'll really be in

business. So exciting.

So have you thought of a name?

I had a thought. We could name it after my grandmother.

That way we could honor everything she's taught me.

I think that's a wonderful idea.

I drew up a label. I hope you don't mind. No, of course not.

Her name Lynn means lotus flower.

It's beautiful.

Excuse me.

What is that for?

It's the name of our new botanical-infused clay mask, formulated

from a family recipe passed down to me from my grandmother.

Nathan!

Looks like you survived.

Joseph came along last minute. He more than saved me.

Who caught the biggest fish?

Yeah, believe it or not, we didn't catch a thing. Really?

Yeah.

Let me guess.

Ghost stories.

Hot chocolate.

Catching fireflies. Singing.

Really? Singing? Yeah.

You?

Sounds like this trip might have been good for you.

It was.

Yeah. More ways than one.

It's good to be home, though.

Yeah.

What do you have there? Is that muffins?

Freshly baked.

Would you like one?

Pure offering.

Actually, I'll take one more for him, too.

Horses don't eat muffins.

Oh, yeah, that's right.

I guess I'll eat it.

Thanks. Welcome home.

Good morning. Good morning. How did we all sleep?

Four-hour stretch.

Oh, my goodness.

Well done, little one.

Thank you so much for last night. It was just what we needed. I think we should

do it every week. Brilliant idea.

How was the rest of your evening?

Reassuring.

How so?

Lucas had another one of his grand ideas.

And?

He was planning on a house for us to move into after the wedding. Oh.

Where?

Just across town.

Up the north road.

Who would want to live all the way up there? I can't imagine that you would be

happy. I wouldn't.

And after having you both over last night, I'm more sure than ever.

I think he sees that, too.

That neighbors and friends are what matter.

Mm-hmm.

I'm sorry. I don't know why I'm so emotional. I'm happy. I'm very happy.

anywhere.

I'm staying right here.
