Previously on When Calls
the Heart...

Lucas.

Please wake up.

Well, he may never be
able to identify the shooter.

So you don’t think
Clayton Pike did it.

Mrs. Watson!

Lily.

What’s gonna happen
to Grandma?

Your grandma is sick right now.
You’re safe with us.

I’m proposing to build popular
tourist attractions

across our region, the first
of which will be in Hope Valley.

Lately
I’ve just been feeling

there’s a change in the air,
and inside me.

That’s quite the change...
Elizabeth.

Wow, you look...
you look great.

Bye!

Goldie was a little out
of sorts this morning,

I hope Robert doesn’t have
his hands full

looking after her
and little Jack.

I’m sure he’ll be fine,
Allie has done it before.

That is right.

I just hope he doesn’t do a
practice haircut on either one.

No! He wouldn’t!

I’m teasing.

Well...

Allie must be glad
to have Nathan home.

Mmhmm.

Of course,
aren’t we all?

Of course.

Especially given that
it’s his birthday...

Well, this weekend.

I keep a calendar of birthdays
for local luminaries

just in case I have
a slow news day.

Someone should
throw him a birthday party.

Oh, I don’t think
he’d like that.

What? Of course
he would like that.

A casual dinner amongst
friends at the saloon,

a chance for us to share with
him how much we appreciate him.

That does sound more
his speed.

Yes.

I’m so glad
he’s finally home.

What?

Oh, nothing.

Ok, how do you divide
these two fractions?

Here, let me-
let me show you.

Come on, Toby.

You gotta learn this stuff
for the quiz.

You know me, I don’t
understand it like you do.

But don’t worry,
I’ve got a plan.

I’ll memorize the answers
to the homework problems.

I’ll ace it just like
the geography quiz.

Geography is different.

With math you have to,
you know, solve the problem.

This’ll work.

As long as the answers
are right I’m golden.

So, about your birthday...

Yeah, let's... let's not
make a big fuss about that.

I wasn’t.

I was just thinking I
owe you a fishing trip.

I could pack us a lunch

and we could head out to that
fishing hole we used to go to?

Sounds perfect.

Hmm.

Good morning. Hello.

Good morning, Mrs. Thornton.

Good morning, you two.

I hope you’re ready
for the math quiz.

If you did your homework
it’ll be a piece of cake.

We’re ready.

Morning.

Good morning, Allie.

Morning.

Morning.

Uh, am I misinformed

or is it someone’s birthday
this weekend?

You’re misinformed.

Oh, that's too bad,

because Rosemary had this idea
that I could- that we um...

that a small group of us
could have a casual dinner

at the saloon tomorrow night
to celebrate.

Oh.

Oh... oh!

What?

Allie’s throwing
a surprise party.

Not that I’ve heard.

Oh, you’re just gonna get a
small group of people together

for dinner at the saloon?

It’s happening.

Nathan, no.

Yeah, I- I just told her I
want to keep things simple.

I’m not a party guy.

Specifically when
they’re thrown for me.

Well, then you’re gonna
have a great birthday

because as far as I know
there’s really no party.

She had quite the cover
story, too.

She wanted to go fishing.

Wha- when was the last time
she asked me to go fishing?

When she was 12?

Nathan-

Oh, no, no.

No. I’m gonna play along.

You do that.

*

*

Lucas says he wants
to talk to me.

You, me, and Lee.

Well, I’m gonna talk to him.

He can’t go around announcing
that he’s building a resort

without consulting
with town leadership.

And why didn’t Lee say anything
about these shenanigans?

Didn’t want to put the cart
before the horse?

So I’m the horse?

Or are you the cart?
Anyway, as mayor you should be-

I should be consulted.
I should weigh in.

Me too, as manager of the
saloon... Lucas’s saloon.

Eh?

Uh, I’d like to be
on the call.

How does he know
about the call?

Well, I- I set up the call.

Well, maybe the whole town
should be in on the call.

Bill, Mike, Lee, it’s good
to be talking to you.

I hope you can
hear me clearly.

I can hear you loud
and clear.

Yeah, I can hear
you clear as day.

So can I.

Mike here, good to hear
your voice, Governor.

Mike, for the last time,
it’s Lucas.

So, gentlemen-

I thought I should
be included, too.

Uh, it’s Ned.

Yost.

Well, certainly. I didn’t mean
to leave you out, Ned.

So, gentlemen-

Oh, and ladies.

Rosemary here as a
representative of the press.

Certainly.

I suppose you all have
a lot of questions.

The hotel is
at capacity already.

This is quite
high-handed Lucas.

Let the man speak.

I will address
all of your concerns,

and they are all important.

But most of all this
is about Hope Valley

and what we want
for our town.

Now, if anyone has
any doubts,

Hope Valley doesn’t need
to be the location.

Well, hold on a minute.

No one said that.

It goes without saying-

It definitely has
to be Hope Valley.

Well, I can’t do it
without your help.

Lumber, supplies, hospitality,
and legal advice.

Speaking of which,
and I apologize Mike,

this call was meant
to give you a heads up.

I have been advised I’ll need
to divest my interest

in the hotel and the saloon.

Divest?

You mean you're...
you're selling?

Yes, it would be seen
as a conflict of interest

if the new resort boosted
profits at the Queen of Hearts.

But Mike, I will do my best
to get the new owner

to keep you on,
whoever the buyer may be.

Now, for the sale, Bill,
could you handle the legal end?

Consider it done.

And Mike, you know the books
more than anyone.

Would you and Lee mind
putting together a prospectus?

Yeah, absolutely.
Anything you need, Lucas.

Of course.

And Rosemary, while I have you,
I’d love to run an ad.

Of course, our readers
are eager to learn more

about your grand vision.

But first, while I have
you on the phone,

I would like to ask you again

about the recent arrest
of Clayton Pike.

We don’t have
to get into that now.

Lucas, we’ll let you go.

Wait...

Ned, sign us off.

Right, right.

Well, I had more to ask him.

You should be excited.

Really? About what?

All the lumber that’s going
to be required

to build the new resort.

The sawmill is going to be going
gangbusters for months.

You live for a challenge
like this.

Well, I have other things
to live for these days,

like you and Goldie.

Yes, we know.

But I have a feeling things are
about to get a whole lot busier.

I for one could certainly go
for one of Minnie's scones

to shore me up.

Ok.

Sweetheart?

Our breakfast date.

You forgot!

Our breakfast date.

Leland Coulter.

We never get a chance
to talk anymore.

For once I wanted to share
a meal with you,

preferably one that didn’t
end up on my blouse

or on the floor.

I’m sorry, sweetheart.

I promised Richard I’d
go over these numbers,

and now there’s the whole
saloon business.

But I’ll tell you what.

Lunch is a far more
romantic meal, anyway.

So what do you say?
Café, 12:30?

12:30. You had better
not forget.

Ok.

Oh, are you heading out
so soon?

I thought we could do
the crossword together.

Oh, sorry Mike, I have a lot of
prescriptions to get out today.

Of course. Rain check?

Sure.

How are the newlyweds doing?

I should get going.
Long day ahead.

We’ll do the crossword tomorrow.

Can’t wait!

How’s that going?

Swell.

It was a shocker
about the saloon.

Seems Lucas has bigger
fish to fry.

What if he sells
to the wrong person?

A real despot.

Should I be out
looking for a new job?

I think you may be getting ahead
of yourself, my friend.

Can I stay with you all day?

Unless I’m seeing patients.

But then who will
look after me?

Don’t worry, Lily.

Molly will be there
and I’ll be nearby.

Beat you there!

Oh, no- Lily,
watch out for cars!

How’s that going?

Swell.

That wasn't so bad, was it?
As math quizzes go.

Thank you.
Thank you.

Alright, everyone...
Time for lunch!

Mrs. Thornton...

Hmm?

Do you think Jack

would want to help me
collect worms tonight?

My dad and I are going
fishing tomorrow.

Right, I heard.
For his birthday?

Right. His birthday.

You know, it’s been ages since
I heard you talk about fishing.

Well, it is his birthday,
he likes fishing.

Wait, so- so you actually
are just going fishing?

Yes.

And nothing more?

No.

Well, uh... splendid.

Lucas giving up the saloon,
that was a surprise.

Mmhmm.

You know, it seems
to me there was a time

when you were interested
in buying it, no?

That was years ago.

Now I like to keep
things simple.

Uh huh.

Except for the shooting of a
certain Governor, of course.

What has Rosemary
been saying?

Oh, nothing.
Nothing at all.

Just that uh... you think
there's more to it.

Your wife is persistent
if nothing else.

Bill, be warned.

My wife is an unwavering
force of nature.

These are the last
of the ledgers.

The most recent ones.

Thanks, Hickam.

So when do you think
the place will sell?

I really like it here.

I don’t know.

But whoever buys it would
be crazy not to keep you on.

I knew it was gonna be
a big year for the hotel

with the hot springs
opening up

but this place is turning
into a gold mine.

Nice work, young man.

Well, I offer a restaurant
voucher to our hotel guests.

They try the food once
and they’re hooked.

Smart idea.

And then there’s the grilled
cheese sandwiches.

Yeah? What about the grilled
cheese sandwiches?

Oh, they outsell our higher-end
dishes by 20 percent

at one tenth the cost.

The only person not happy
about it is Gustave.

Huh.

Un autre
fromage grille?

Touristes de mauvais gout!

Excuse me.

Henry?

Elizabeth.

Look at you.

Look at you!

When did you get back?

Just this morning.

Oh, it’s so good to see you.

It's lovely to see you.

Tell me everything.
How is Abigail?

She is fine.

She is as fine as
she has ever been.

She wrote to me.

Said you had an awful
lot to say,

which is unusual for you.

Sometimes things need saying.

Part of me wondered if you’d
even come back after seeing her.

Well, she said that
she wanted me to be happy,

so happy is where I’m headed.

Well, that is something

we should all work on,
shouldn’t we?

I don’t think you need
too much work in that area.

Mmm, only because I’m glad
to have you back.

Afternoon.

That Randall Rockwell,
he always gets the scoop.

And so fast.

You gotta get up pretty
early in the morning

if you’re gonna beat
Randall Rockwell.

Did he mention Nathan’s name?

Uh...

"Hope Valley's Constable
Nathan Grant was hand-picked

"to join the investigation team

"due to his first-hand knowledge
of the events

"leading up to the shooting."

All Rockwell has done
is quoted

Clayton Pike’s confession
word for word.

You call that
investigative reporting?

He got an exclusive,
it says so right here.

Yeah.

Because he has a source!
Big deal!

Hey, maybe you should
get a source.

Thank you, Ned. I’ll take
that under advisement.

Why are you frowning?

Am I?

Is that about the guy
who shot Mr. Bouchard?

Yeah. Just re-reading
his confession.

Apparently somebody leaked it
to this reporter.

Hmm.

You on a lunch break?

Yep.

So, what should I get
for your birthday picnic?

I thought we were going fishing.

Yeah.

Unless you wanna do
something else.

Nope.

No, no, no, fishing is
uh... fishing is good.

What was that?

Hmm? What was what?

You just winked...
about fishing.

I did not wink.

Don’t tell me you got
scooped again.

I don’t even mind
as much about that.

I just can’t let go
of something Bill said.

About?

About this all being too easy.

Pike’s capture followed
rapidly by his confession.

Bill seems to believe
it’s all pretty convenient.

Why does Bill think that?

Oh, well, he won’t say.

He refuses to take
me seriously.

But Lucas isn’t still
in danger, is he?

Oh, I’m sure he is under
all sorts of protection

in Capital City.

Bill seems to be
the lone voice.

I just need a source
like Randall has.

He’s always one step ahead.

He managed to get hold of
Pike’s full confession.

Without an exclusive like that

how am I ever going
to get to the bottom

of the biggest story
this territory has ever seen?

If anyone can make things
happen it’s you, Rosemary.

Hi, Allie.

Everything ok?

I'm not sure.

Dad's being weird about
going fishing for his birthday.

Same as you.

Is... is there something
I should know?

Your dad has it in his head
that you're planning a...

a surprise party for him.

A surprise party?
That’s fun!

He’s expecting a party?

Yes, but he doesn’t actually
want one, Allie.

He told me so.

Elizabeth, of course
he wants one.

Who doesn’t want
a surprise party?

Nathan.

Well, if he’s expecting a party,
don’t I have to give him one?

No, honey,
you really don’t.

Don’t you worry, Allie.

You know who is wonderful
at planning surprises?

Mrs. Thornton.

Will you help me?

Um...

Of course she will!

And the whole town will want
to celebrate your dad.

The whole town, huh?

Thank you so much. I’ll go
make the invitations.

If anyone can make things
happen it’s you, Elizabeth.

I see what you did there.

Hi.

I saw you ride past.

Hi, Mike.

I’m always afraid of
what I’ll find

when I've been out
on deliveries.

Mei? Did I do
something wrong?

No. Of course not.

Why would you think that?

It wasn’t that joke
that Bill made, was it?

That? No.

I’ve just been busy.
See you later, ok?

Sure.

Are you still waiting?

Lee said lunch at 12:30.

It is now almost
a quarter to one.

Where on earth
could he be?

Some coffee, Rosemary?

No, Minnie, no thank you.

Lee has obviously
forgotten all about me.

I’m sure he’ll
be along soon.

There must be a good
reason he’s late.

It had better be better
than good.

It had better be brilliant!

That’s a lot of “b” words.

No, you’re right, Minnie.
You’re absolutely right.

What am I right about?

Well, what is it
you always say

about forgiving
and being humble?

Oh, forgiveness is to be
humble during trying times.

Yes, that’s it.
That is it.

Thank you.

That is exactly the advice
I needed right now.

It just happened again.

What did?

People treat me like
I am supposed to be

this fountain of wisdom just
because I’m married to you.

Ah.

The lot of the pastor’s
wife is never easy.

Everyone wants advice.

Florence is upset her
daughter doesn’t visit enough,

Molly worries about Rosaleen
living in the city,

and Mike Hickam, well,

he worries
about everything.

So what’d you tell him?

I try to think what
would be useful to me

under the same circumstances.

But what if I’m wrong?

Well, nobody’s perfect,
but you’re pretty darn close.

I know I don’t tell you
this often enough but...

but thank you for
everything you do.

Hey sweetheart.

Oh... lunch date.

Uh, I was just on my way.

I wish I was just on my way.
I’m sorry, I got distracted.

Lee, you stood me up.

I did not stand-

If I have learned
anything in this life

it is to never be
stood up by a man.

Sweetheart, I’m just going
over Lucas’s books.

No, remember? From the phone
call this morning?

He’s being forced
to sell the hotel?

Actually, I’m glad
you’re here.

Sit down, I wanna run
something by you.

You can still scowl at me,
just do it sitting down.

Please?

I’m listening.

Ok, I’m going over
these ledgers

and there is a lot
of profit in here.

Michael is running a
top-notch operation.

And what has that got to do
with you standing me up?

Uh huh.

Ok.

So, I’m sitting here
and I’m thinking,

maybe this is too big
an opportunity to pass up.

I'm... I'm sorry.

Did I just hear you suggest
that we buy the hotel?

Well, keep in mind Lucas
is being forced to divest

so I think we can get it
for a fair price.

-But it’s not just that, it’s-
-Lee.

-No, no, no, just hear me out.
-Lee!

-Darling, you’re not-
-Lee!

I barely see you as it is!

Come on! You see me
every day.

Oh.

"Sorry, sweetheart, that I
forgot our breakfast date."

"Sorry, sweetheart,
that I just stood you up."

Is that what you’re
referring to?

Rosy, you’re not
listening to me.

Leland Coulter I believe it
is you who is not listening!

Ah, here we are.

Ok.

I will be one minute, Lily.

Do you get to come here
whenever you want?

Yes.

Miss Tsu gave me
a set of keys

so that I can come in
when she’s away.

Oh, hey silly!

You’re gonna make
yourself dizzy.

I like being dizzy.

Woah.

You know, there’s only
one cure for being dizzy.

What is it?

An extra large scoop
of strawberry ice cream.

Yay! I’m gonna get
even dizzier.

Bill!

Are you friend Rosemary
or reporter Rosemary?

Did you read Pike’s confession
in The Beetle?

They printed it word for word.
Or so they say.

Reporter Rosemary.

So?

I saw it.

“The Governor is depriving
the common man of the dignity

"of honest labor by shutting
down the water project”?

It reads as if someone
wrote it for him.

And believe me, I know
prose fiction when I see it.

Bill!

I think you are right.

I think there’s more
to this story.

Could someone else
be involved?

Well, that’s what I think but
I don’t have proof of anything.

Well, maybe if we work together
we could find the proof.

Are you doing this
for a headline?

I am doing this to get
to the bottom of

the attempted murder
of our friend,

who may still be at risk

if the person who put Pike up
to it is running around free.

Well, what can I say?

You know as much
as I do, Rosemary.

Henry Gowan.

Minnie saw you from the window.

Well, aren’t you a sight
for sore eyes?

Welcome back, friend.

Good to be here.

What're you doing hiding
way in the back?

It’s a nice spot.

Abigail used to tend
to these trees.

She used to use the hazelnuts
in some of her baking.

Hmm.

These trees, they weren’t
doing well when we took over.

I wish I had the time
to tend to them.

I have the time.

Be my guest.

Does that mean you’re
back here to stay?

I’m not quite sure about
that but I have some time.

You seem... different.

Maybe I am.

A little more?

Thank you.

Grading some tests I see.

Mmhmm. Before I go home
for the night.

Fractions.

Hmm.

Oh, Cooper got another
perfect score.

He really does seem
to enjoy math.

He’s even been helping Toby.

Has he?

I don’t want to speak
out of turn,

but I overheard Toby saying
he doesn’t need to learn

how to solve the problems,

he can just memorize the answers
from his homework.

That explains quite a bit.

Mrs. Thornton!

Angela came up with the best
line for the invitations

for dad’s party.

Oh, it’s his birthday?

Mmhmm.

Tell her, Angela.

Come celebrate a surprise for
Hope Valley’s favorite Mountie.

And we’re not horsing around.

So now we just need the details.
So, where? When?

Girls, I...

His birthday is tomorrow.

I can make a cake
if that helps.

Elizabeth, if you’re
organizing, put me to work.

Ok. Uh... sure.
Tomorrow. 6:00pm.

Alright, let’s go.

Peanut butter and jam is
the one thing I can manage

that Lily actually likes,

as long as I cut
the crusts off.

That’s good that you’re getting
to know her likes and dislikes.

Yeah, the only problem is what
she likes changes by the day.

Lily! Dinner’s ready!

I’m getting dressed!

I don’t even wanna know
what she’s doing up there.

Hey, is everything alright?

Oh, Faith...

I feel like
a terrible person.

The worst.

It’s Mike.

I thought things
were going great.

They are.

Were.

Oh, I’m so confused,
and I don’t know why.

He’s so kind and funny,

but I’m finding myself
pulling back and he sees.

Faith, the way
he looked at me today,

I feel like I was
breaking his heart.

You care about him.

So much.

It’s scary when things
get serious, isn’t it?

It’s easy to feel afraid.

So if I'm afraid,
that means...

Things are getting serious?

Serious has never
worked for me.

Well, maybe it will
this time.

I’m ready for dinner.

Well? May I see your card yet?

Not yet.

Oh my goodness.

I have never seen anyone
take so long

to make a birthday card before.

It’s for Mountie Nathan.
I want it to be just right.

Well, what do you think
of my banner?

It’s good, Mama.

Thank you.

I want it to be
just right, too.

He’ll love it.

I hope so.

Now may I see your card?

Yes.

Thank you.

It’s Mountie Nathan with me,
you, Allie and Scout.

Do you think he’ll like it?

I know he will.

Hey, Ned.

Hello.

Am I too late
to get some eggs?

No, of course not.
Come in, come in.

I’ve just finished
today’s tally.

Take the eggs on the house.
An early birthday present.

Oh, you heard
about that, huh?

Well, Allie’s been
in every day

waiting for your new
tackle box to arrive.

Ned!

Oh, I’m sorry.

It’s alright. I’ll even
act surprised at the party.

What party?

There’s a party?
Why weren’t we invited?

Wha...

Thanks for the eggs.

You’re- you’re welcome.

Rosy, we need to talk.

Oh, everyone wants to talk
but no one wants to listen.

You and Bill...

It’s about the hotel.

I’m surprised you could drag
yourself away from the place.

Hey, this is a
great opportunity.

Ha. To be away from me.

What? What’re you
talking about?

You just don’t want to share
an office with me anymore.

That’s it, I knew it.

No, it’s- look, I just
hate the paperwork.

The hotel, the saloon,
that’s more paperwork.

Less paperwork.

More early mornings.

No early mornings.

More late nights.

Sweetheart, I don’t want to run
the hotel, I want Michael to.

Well, then let him buy it!

Sweetheart, he can't afford
to do that and you know it.

But if we own it and
keep him on to manage it,

then the Queen of Hearts
is owned by locals

who want to see that
it's run the right way.

And Michael gets
to keep his job.

No headaches for us.

And keep in mind I want
Richard Wolf to take more

responsibility at the mill
which means...

Go ahead, I know
you want to say it.

More time with the family.

So what’re we arguing about?

Awe.

I love you so much.

I love you, too, and I’m sorry
I lost my temper.

I’ve simply had the most
frustrating day.

I hate that I’ve
contributed to that.

I’m all ears now.

Can I help you
with this stuff?

Oh, be my guest.
Nothing would make me happier.

Hmm.

You know what?

I think I know exactly
what you need.

Lucas must have said
something to you

when you saw him
in Capital City.

He doesn’t remember anything.

We didn’t really get
into it too much.

Finding the gun, the capture,
the confession.

Like dominos in a perfectly
straight line.

So Pike was sporadically
employed,

supported his elderly mother,

a few small run-ins with the law
in his youth... shoplifting.

Hmm.

But nothing since then.

Why would someone who seemingly
got their life on track

suddenly commit
an act of violence

with no apparent motive?

This story has so many holes

it might as well be
a pair of old socks.

It doesn’t add up.

I have a good sense
about these things.

I still think Montague’s
involved somehow.

Horse manure.

What?

Do you know where
I could get some?

Manure?

I mean, a lot of it.

What on earth
are you reading?

Oh.

Hazelnuts?

Yeah.

So I’ll have the cake ready
for tonight.

And Florence and I pulled
whatever birthday decorations

we had on the shelves.

Even though our invitation
was very last-minute.

Well, it was last minute
for everyone, Florence,

but I’m sorry.

Lee and Hickam are planning
the food with Gustave.

Great. All that leaves
is the music.

Uh-oh.

Well, back to the old
salt mine for me.

Yes, I have uh,
an important call.

And I’ve got
to start dinner.

As do I.

So there is a party.

Maybe.

But there wasn’t
supposed to be.

No.

Allie really just wanted
to take you fishing,

but then she heard you
expected a party and...

She asked you for help
and you felt obliged.

Well, I wouldn’t say “obliged”.

Ah, I messed things up,
didn’t I?

No, you didn’t.

But would it really be so bad

to endure a small party
with friends?

Allie has- she’s been so
distant since I got back.

Does she want this?

She really does.

I guess I could play along.

I mean, you say it’s
a small party, right?

Barely a party.

More like a gathering, really.

And you will have fun.

I promise.

Thank you for helping
her out with this.

Happy to.

I should um, I should go
kit out my new tackle box.

Those trout don't stand
a chance.

And um... don't worry,
I'll- I'll act surprised.

Nathan?

Yeah?

Happy birthday.

Oh, thanks.

I’m sorry the fish
weren’t biting.

Oh, who needs fish when I get
to spend my birthday with you?

I just wanted it
to be special.

Hey, this was plenty special.
By the way, I love this.

It’s exactly what I wanted.

Good.

Are you sure
you’re not disappointed

about not having a party?

Disappointed? No.

Did my mom hate parties, too?

Your mother was the life
of the party.

She loved to dance,
loved to sing.

She had the most beautiful
singing voice.

That’s probably where you get
your singing voice from.

So between the two of you
she was the fun one?

Hey, come on.

Since we didn’t catch anything,
how about dinner at the saloon?

That’s a good idea.

"Great, wide, beautiful,
wonderful world,

"with the wonderful water
around you, curled,

"and the wonderful grass
upon your chest.

"World, you are
beautifully dressed."

That was my favorite line
when I was young.

Where are this
girl’s parents?

Well, in this story,

Rebecca comes from
a very large family

with lots of brothers
and sisters,

and her parents needed
help raising her.

So she went to live
with her aunts.

Have you heard
from Grandma?

I spoke with the doctors
in Union City

and they’re making her better.

When?

You know, Lily,

when I’m missing someone
I squeeze my eyes shut

and I try to picture them.

Shall we try?

Ok.

I see Grandma.
Who did you see?

I saw my friend Fiona.

This was a good idea.

Happy birthday, Dad.

Surprise!

You call this a small gathering?

You have a lot
of friends.

* Happy birthday to you, *

* happy birthday to you, *

* happy birthday dear Nathan, *

* happy birthday to you *

Thank- thank you.
Thank you.

By the beard of Zeus,
that’s big!

Well, you really
pulled it off.

Who would have thought
you could be so... devious?

Devious?

More like... thoughtful.

Mmhmm.

Deviously thoughtful.

Nathan looks... happy.

He does.

Well, it won’t be long

before there’s a new owner
of the saloon.

Mmhmm.

What’ve you heard?

Should I be looking
for a new job?

Oh, you’re not gonna get out
of here that easy, my friend.

What do you mean?

Well, Lee and I have
been talking

Mmhmm.

We think we’ve found
the perfect buyer for Lucas.

Already?

I haven’t had a chance
to prove myself yet.

What if- what if
they don’t want me?

Oh, they do.

I can assure you
the new bosses

know a good investment
when they see one.

Mmhmm.

You see, it’s not just the
saloon and the hotel, Michael.

The real investment
here... is you.

Thank you.

But... when do I meet them?

You two?

Mmhmm.

Well, we’ll figure out the
details later but rest assured

Rosemary and I will remain
completely hands off, won’t we?

I might add, there was
discussion some time ago

of adding a stage to
the corner over there.

I’d be happy to resume
that conversation.

But of course the final decision
would be entirely yours, Hickam.

How can I thank you?

You just keep doing
exactly what you're doing.

Hmm?

Right. Yes. Um... hey,
tell you what.

Why don't I pour some drinks
for a while?

You take a little break,
well-earned.

Are you having fun?

Yes, um, you throw
a great party.

Thank you.
Everyone pitched in.

I wanted to ask you something-

Mike, I know what
you’re gonna say.

If I’ve been cool with you
it’s not your fault, it’s me.

I’m nervous and scared.

When I first came into town

I was running away from
someone very controlling.

But that’s not you.

You’re wonderful and kind,

and everything that
I’ve ever wanted.

So if you’re wondering what’s
going on with me, that’s it.

Nothing more.

Um, what did you want
to ask me?

I was going to ask you
if you’d like to dance.

Ok.

*

It’s a good party.

Didn’t see ya there.

Escaping the throng?

Ah, you know me too well.

You’re a good sport.

Allie was beaming.

I was so sure I had
you guys figured out.

Oh.

At least, I had Allie
figured out, I thought.

Bet you’ll never make
that mistake again.

Elizabeth, you...

there's something...

Ah, sounds like the man of
the hour is being summoned.

Oh boy.

Shall we?

* For he’s a jolly
good fellow, *

* for he’s a jolly
good fellow, *

* which nobody can deny. *

* Which nobody can deny, *

* which nobody can deny, *

* for he’s a jolly
good fellow, *

* which nobody can deny. *
