Previously on When Calls
the Heart...

[gasps]

Dad? Mrs. Thornton?

The name is Jacob Canfield.

Are you sure you guys aren’t
going to get into trouble?

It’s worth it if we do.

Michael, help me out here.
Can you reason with her?

She’s your sister.
Do something!

Sorry, this one
is non-negotiable.

We have so much in common.

You see, I was once engaged
to Lucas Bouchard.

Dad, can I ask you something?

Yeah, shoot.

What’s going on between you
and Mrs. Thornton?

Nothing.

We’re just friends.

The other day in the orchard

it seemed like you were more
than that.

Allie...

She's amazing, and she's super
important to me, but...

But what?

I just don’t want you
to get hurt... like before.

That was a long time ago, ok?
A lot’s changed.

If you say so.

Look, I appreciate your concern,
alright? I do.

I am telling you there’s
nothing to worry about.

Ok.

Have a good day at school.

I promise, no more surprises.

You always have surprises
on your tests.

That’s not true.

Some surprises, maybe.

I’ll flunk this one,
I just know it.

Hey. Maintain a positive
attitude.

We’ve been practicing this.

When you visualize how to solve
the problem, you succeed.

Like with the Easter egg.

Egg-zactly.

Except, use a baseball
or some other object.

Don’t try to answer the problem
like everyone else.

Do you know why?

Why?

Because you are unlike
anyone else,

and that’s what makes
you special.

I’ll see you at school?

Thanks, Mrs. Thornton.

Elizabeth.

Hi.

I’m glad I ran into you.

I owe you an apology.

I’m listening.

I’m very sorry that Jeanette
ambushed you like that.

And more than that,

I’m sorry I didn’t tell you
the entire truth about her.

So were you engaged?

We talked about it.
Mostly she talked about it.

There was never a ring
or anything like that.

Mm.

When we had to leave
New Orleans

she, of course, wanted
to stay together.

By then I’d realized my heart
wasn’t in it.

Then I came here,
I met you.

Lucas, you needn’t have worried.

Thank you for the apology,

but I’m really not bothered
by Jeanette.

I just wanted to leave
my past behind me.

But it keeps finding you.

It would seem that way,
wouldn’t it?

As far as I’m concerned,

you and I will always
be friends.

I’m very relieved
to hear that.

[laughing]

[melancholy music]

[theme music plays]

♪

♪

I thought I might find you here.

I like it out here better than
in an office.

Hmm.

You know, I find it hard to
believe that growing hazelnuts

will be enough for you for long.

Well, I aim to find out.

Henry-

Lucas, if you’re gearing up

to ask me to come work
for you again,

you’re wasting your breath.

I need your help, Henry.

If we can’t settle this land
dispute with Benson Hills,

the resort could fall through.

Why is this so important to you?

It’s not about me.
This is about Hope Valley.

Ok.

Look, our other initiatives
are looking promising.

The harbor renewal
in Cape Fullerton,

various housing developments...

but this is about making sure
that my hometown can benefit

from my administration as much
as those other places.

You know what?
Never mind.

Look, I’d like to help,
you know, I just- I can’t.

I understand the position
you’re in but-

Help me, Henry.

I promised myself I’d take
a different route.

Good morning.

Good morning.

We made soup yesterday,
I saved the bone for Scout.

Uh, he’s not in today.
Decided to take the day off.

Oh, ok.

Well, maybe you could
take it to him?

Uh... he’ll love it. Thanks.

Is everything alright?

Yeah, of course.

Nathan?

I... I really have to get
this paperwork done, Elizabeth.

Right, of course.
Don’t let me distract you.

[closes door]

[Maisie] You’ll see we have
a list of requirements

for our participation in this
resort, Mayor Hickam.

Thank you, Mayor Hickam.

Oh, brother.

Uh... so Benson Hills wants
Hope Valley to build you

a new train station?
And a railroad extension?

Mmhmm.

And you want us to build you
a town dump?

It’s only fair, Mikey.

Considering the extra refuse

that all those tourists
are going to create.

Eh...

Ok, we can agree
to build you the dump.

- And a bandshell?
- Mmhmm.

- A baseball diamond?
- Mm.

And a new public
transportation system

with ten passenger buses?
Really?

And that’s a must.

Well, to carry all the tourists
from our new train station

to the resort. Hmm?

Oh, haha!

And remember,
the new access road

has to go through
Benson Hills.

Maisie, why does everything
always have to be your way?

Because if the Governor insists
on this pipe dream going ahead

then we want to be
in control of it.

That ought to do it.

No more dripping tap?

Mmm-mmm.

Mama will be happy.

If Mama’s happy then I’m happy.

Joseph, you have a letter.

Oh, can you just place that
on the table for me, sweetie?

Thanks.

You’re gonna wanna read this.
It’s from Jacob.

Oh.

Jacob?

So? What did he say?

He said it’s been too long.

He’s open to a visit.

Well, that’s wonderful.
Isn’t that wonderful, kids?

That’s great.

That's wonderful.

How did he get our address?

Maybe he talked to your
Aunt Margret.

Hmm.

What is it?

He said he got my letter.

He's looking forward to...

To what?

He’s looking forward
to my apology.

Has he lost his mind?
I never wrote him.

It’s always the same
old problem.

How am I supposed to apologize

if he won’t tell me what
I supposedly did wrong?

Did he really say that?

This makes me so mad.

I’m- children, listen.

Our doors are always open
to family.

The Lord says welcome
thy visitor.

Love him as I love myself.

But if- if Jacob thinks
he’s got a blanket apology

coming from me, he’s got
another thing coming.

Nathan!

We found something.

In Pike’s confession he claims

that he shot Lucas
from a distance.

But it doesn’t track with
the angle of the bullet.

You showed Rosemary
the case file?

Well yeah, I had to.
We’re a team.

We certainly are.

Alright Bill, show him
what we found.

Alright, if you look at the
medical report at the angle

of the wound in Lucas’s leg,

basically he had to be inches
from the shooter.

And the only way
that could happen-

Is if Lucas and the shooter
struggled for the gun,

and then it went off
in a downward trajectory.

But if the shooter was
that close,

then Lucas had to see
his face.

If only Lucas can remember.

Alright, time’s up, everyone.

Please pass your
quizzes forward.

How was that, Toby?

Hope my baseball did the trick.

I'm sure it did.

Thank you very much.

Thank you, Opal.

So now that we have finished
our quizzes,

I have a very special surprise
for all of you.

All the way from teacher's
college in Capital City...

Come on in!

- Anna!
- Oh my gosh!

It’s so great to see you!

- Anna!
- We missed you.

How’s teacher’s college?

It’s great, thanks.
It’s so good to see all of you.

Anna is going to be with us
for the next little while.

She’ll be doing what’s called
a practicum.

Does that mean you’re going
to be teaching us?

I’m going to try,

but I won’t be anywhere near
as good as Mrs. Thornton.

I don’t know about that.

I think you’ll find
you’re a natural.

She is an immovable force,
that’s for sure.

Who’s an immovable force?

- Maisie.
- Yeah.

She knows she has me
over a barrel.

We’re supposed to be
negotiating, mayor to mayor,

and every time I’m around her

I just feel like her
little brother.

She called me Mikey.

She did.

Ah, Lucas...

I need to talk with you.

Can it wait?

Not really.

We learned something new
about the shooting.

Bill, I have bigger problems.

Speaking of which, join me.

[Hickam] Maybe I should use
Maisie's nickname?

No, no.

How did it go this morning?

Same old Maisie.

Sounds like she needs
a pampering.

Yeah, I have agreed to meet her
later this afternoon

but I don’t think she’s taking
these negotiations

very seriously.

Just stand your ground,
Hickam.

That’s what I’ve been trying
to do.

I’m not sure if pitting Mike
and Maisie against each other

is going to achieve
the outcome you want.

[Lee] Well, he’s the only
mayor we’ve got.

Besides you.

No, no. I made it very clear
I was acting mayor,

subbing for Hickam here.

Plus, I prefer my life
headache free.

What about you?

What about me what?

Well, you’ve always wanted
the job.

[chuckles sarcastically]

If Lee wants to be mayor,
be my guest.

You only lost
by a little bit.

Guys, come on.
Not like this.

You can’t just
declare me mayor.

Why not?

We’ve got the Governor
right here.

Your eminence,
what say ye?

Mike?

I officially resign.

In that case,
until a date is set

for an interim election-
if Lee agrees.

Well, I just-

[Bill] He does.

[Lucas] I could appoint you
mayor Pro Tem.

Oh, that has a nice
ring to it.

[Bill] Mmhmm.

Excellent.
Lee, you’re appointed.

Congratulations, Lee.

Yeah. Well done.

Sure.

Tag, you’re it.

Ok.

It sounds like you’re really
enjoying Capital City.

Everyone’s really nice.

And how about your courses?

Teacher college is a lot harder
than I thought it would be.

Oh.

You make teaching look so easy.

Well, in my experience,

there’s a difference between
how they teach you to teach

and what you learn
by actually doing it.

I feel I’m so much
further behind

than the other student teachers.

Anna, you are one of
the younger enrollees,

and you will be amazed how much
more confident you feel

at the end of all this.

I hope so.

I know so.

I do have tests to mark,
so what do you say?

Sure.

Alright.

Mrs. Thornton,
is something wrong?

No, not at all.
Shall we?

- Hey.
- Hmm.

So um... I have news.

Oh, in the nick of time.
I need a headline for tomorrow.

Now, before I tell you, I want
you to know that I will not

let this get in the way
of our family life.

You and Goldie
always come first.

Oh no, did we buy
another saloon?

[chuckles] No.
No, nothing like...

well, actually it is kind of
on that scale of-

Lee?!

Lucas just made me mayor!

What?!

I know! It’s crazy.

I mean, it’s only until the next
election, but sweetheart,

I really want a shot at this.
I think I can make a difference.

You know?

Mmm.
Not that I’m complaining,

but what exactly did I do
to deserve that?

Lee Coulter, you were made
to be mayor.

I think it’s perfect.
I’m so proud of you.

And I always thought I would
make a wonderful political wife.

Ah.

Holding salons,
debating issues of the day,

driving conversation towards
a better world for all of us.

Yep, I can see it now.

[chuckles]

Everyone, the results on
this morning’s math quiz

are excellent.

Every one of you.

Congratulations.

And, on that note, we will see
you all tomorrow.

[rings bell]

Thank you so much.

I knew you could do it, Toby.
Well done.

Today, fractions.
Tomorrow, algebra.

That’s the spirit.

Thank you.

Wow, your dad sounds really mad
at your uncle.

He’s gonna be really mad
at us when he finds out.

So what’re you gonna do?

I don’t know.
What can we do?

Do about what?

We did something
not very smart.

Our dad hasn’t spoken to his
brother in a long time

so we wanted to bring
them together.

So we found his address.

And wrote him a letter.

And signed it from our dad.

I see.

And our uncle wrote back and
wants an apology from our dad.

Oh dear.

And dad’s even madder now.

Well, it’s certainly
a sticky situation.

And I think we can all agree
that you may have overstepped.

But your hearts were
in the right place.

You were just trying to help,

so I’m sure your father
will understand.

So you think we should
tell him?

I think you already know
the answer to that.

Mind if I sit?

By all means.

You got that dark cloud again,
Henry.

What’s bothering you?

I want peace, Joseph.

Business is war for me
and I want peace.

Why do you feel you can’t
have it?

Lucas wants me to help
with that resort.

I just don’t know
if I can do it.

Business doesn’t
excite you anymore?

It’s not the business.

What doesn’t excite me
is the person that I become

when I’m doing the business.

Henry, you’ve grown.
You've changed.

You’re wiser now.

I’m grayer now.

I wouldn’t say
that I’m any wiser.

I would.

Henry, you know all this.

You’ve been called upon
to share your wisdom.

It’s up to you if you want
to do it.

Ooooh, this feels delightful.
Thank you for suggesting it.

Oh, the tingling.
And the aroma.

That’s ginseng.

We grow it in our
community garden.

Hmm.

Now, if you could only do
something for this shoulder.

Why, is it bothering you?

It always seems to act up
in moments of stress,

which usually either means
politics or family.

And in this case...
huh, it’s both.

Well, I can make you a salve
at the pharmacy or,

if you’re open to it,
I could try acupressure.

It’s been known to relieve pain

and I studied it in my
grandmother’s journal.

Oh, well I’m willing
to try anything.

Ok.

[sighs]

Oh! What’re you doing?

Chi flows through your body
via meridian lines.

I’m applying pressure
to your chi meridian point.

Oh, pressure works wonders.

[chuckles]

Oh!

I guess I’ll just have to keep
making unreasonable demands

until Mayor Mikey
and the Governor give up

on this ridiculous resort.

Oh, you haven’t heard.

Oh! Oh! Oh!

That feels good.

Maisie, if you are
so against it,

why not just say no?

Oh.

Well, because unfortunately
not everyone sees it my way.

The Governor has dazzled

the good people of
Benson Hills with-

[gasps]

- ideas of this resort.

Oh.

Sh!

[mumbling]

You don’t have to give her
special treatment

just because she’s my sister.

She’s very nice when she has
her guard down.

And she’s been confiding a lot.

For instance, did you know she’s
intentionally being difficult?

She wants you to give up.

What?

Why not just walk away
from the table?

Why is she making us
suffer like this?

Because she knows
she doesn’t have support

from her constituents.

She said that?!

[whispers] She said that?

You should talk to your sister
and I should get back inside.

So everything’s fine
between you and Lucas?

Yes.

I think all either one of us
wants is to be friends.

Well, great.

Everyone needs fabulous friends

who endeavor to do
great things.

Looking back, there was love,
just not-

The love you had with Jack.

Or that you have with Lee.

Is it asking too much to want
that kind of love again?

No.

It’s written in the stars.

I know it is just waiting
for you.

Well, I’m just not sure the
stars always have it right.

Elizabeth... what is
going on?

Sometimes it’s just hard
to know what’s going on

in other people’s minds
and hearts.

Nathan’s.

Trouble is, minds and hearts
don’t always agree.

[Lee] So Maisie’s being
obstructionist on purpose?

I think she’s trying to
get us to pull the plug

because she knows that
the people of Benson Hills

want the resort.

So this negotiation-

Isn’t actually a negotiation.

Henry, are you hearing this?

I am.

Well, could you throw us
a bone, please?

Well, she has a point.

I mean, look what happened
to Louis Creek.

Oh, no, that developer
was a tax cheat.

That project was doomed
from the start.

Yeah. Not much of a creek, either.

She’s trying to paint you
into a corner.

You gotta take the paintbrush
away from her.

Ok. And how do we do that?

I have a thought.

Sounds like you might be
on board, Henry.

We’ll see about that.
Let’s talk tomorrow.

Gentlemen.

Henry.

Excuse me.

Mmhmm.

Care for a small wager
on Around the Clock?

Against you?

I don’t trust my luck.
[chuckles]

Suit yourself.
And it’s not luck.

Skill.

Yeah, that too.

You seem upbeat.

Some things may have shifted
in my favor.

And I cleared up a small
misunderstanding with Elizabeth.

You mean about Jeanette.

You heard about that, too?

Who hasn’t?

You can’t put your socks on
in this town

without everybody
hearing about it.

Well, you were engaged to her,
if I’ve got that right.

You have that wrong.

We were together briefly,
a very long time ago.

But anyways, turns out Elizabeth
hardly batted an eye

so I suppose that means
she’s well and truly moved on.

And you’re ok with that?

I’d rather have her
as a friend

than not have her
in my life at all.

Hi, kids.

- Hi pop.
- Hi daddy.

Want some pie, pop?

I would love some, Coop.
Thank you.

Thank you.

How’s my baby girl doing?

Fine, daddy.

[chuckles]

What’s going on with you two?

We have something to tell you.

Ok. Shoot.

Come on, now.
Out with it.

We sent Uncle Jacob a letter.

That’s why he wrote you.

But we didn’t mean
to cause trouble.

It's just- after
what you told us,

about how important
siblings are

and how Cooper and I were
taking that for granted,

we just thought...

We thought that you might be
taking it for granted, too.

[exhales]

You may be right.

It’s ok, baby girl.
It’s alright, Coop. Come on.

It’s alright.

[birds chirping]

It didn’t take very long.

Opal, that is so good.

Thanks.

That’s exactly how
I picture it.

Good morning, ladies.
What do we have here?

Opal has made a drawing
of the resort.

How I imagined it could be.

May I see?

Oh, my goodness.
I’m speechless.

When did you draw this?

After we went up the mountain
with Governor Bouchard

he really made me see
what it would look like.

His GV.

His what?

Governor Bouchard’s
grand vision.

Oh.

My goodness, this is just
so precise.

Opal, you really have
the makings of an architect.

You really think so?

I really do.

Or maybe an engineer?

Mrs. Thornton, could you give it
to Governor Bouchard for me?

I would be happy to.

Thank you.

Nice work, Anna.
You helped give Opal a GV.

[door opens]

Governor.

I see you’ve decided to join
our little discussion.

I thought my presence
might be helpful.

Maisie, before we start-

Business first, Michael.

But you should know that-

Let’s get on with this,
shall we?

Certainly.

We have come up with a solution

that we feel will be beneficial
and fair to both parties.

Henry, would you care
to explain?

We accept all your demands.

You do?

But we, uh, feel that we have
an idea that can benefit

both Benson Hills
and Hope Valley.

And what might that be?

We merge the towns.

[laughs incredulously]

You can’t be serious.

We’re very serious.

If this is an attempt to push me
out of office-

No. Not at all.

Until the next election
we’ll have co-mayors.

Hmm.
Co-mayors, you say?

But you should know that-

Mikey, I’m speaking
with the Governor.

And if one of these
co-mayors manages

to persuade the other one
to oppose the resort?

That would be most unfortunate.

But I can’t see moving forward

unless we have the full support
of at least one mayor.

Hmm.

Then I agree.

Excellent.

Gentlemen.

Thank you, Madam Mayor.

Oh, and by the way,
Michael is no longer mayor.

Mr. Coulter is.

And I look forward
to our collaboration.

[laughs]

Sorry, Maisie.
I tried to tell you.

[stammers]

[slams door]

[Nathan] Elizabeth!

Hello.

Hi.

Um, can I- can I talk to you?

Listen, um...
about yesterday.

I owe you an apology.

It was obviously
just bad timing.

No, it- it wasn’t that.

Then what was it?

I thought that...

I thought you and Lucas
were still...

Nathan, no.

There’s nothing going on
between Lucas and me.

We’re just friends.

I know. I know.

But... what am I to you?

I mean... are we just friends?

[romantic music]

Elizabeth, there’s an emergency
meeting of the town council.

Nathan, you may wish
to join us too.

You want to merge the towns?

You mean we won’t be
Hope Valley anymore?

What would we be called?

Maisie’s never gonna go
for that.

She won’t have a choice
but to go along.

She’ll still have a chance
to express her views.

We will be co-mayors.

But all of you have to agree
on it... unanimously.

So what are our options?

We merge the towns
or we kill the resort

and it can be built in the hills
of Jameson or Buxton.

Buxton?!

Jameson doesn’t have
half our charm.

But there is one
potential downside.

Merging the towns means
our school will fall

under the jurisdiction of
The Valley School District.

We’ll lose our independence.

I don’t like the sound of that.

[Florence] Remember
the last time the school
board came knocking.

If it affects Elizabeth’s school
then I say no.

We’ve had our issues
with the school board before

but we’ve always overcome them.

This could mean more benefits.

A larger school district
could mean

better opportunities
for our kids.

Better resources.

Are you saying you’re in favor
of the merger, Elizabeth?

You really believe in this?

I do.

Economically, it will mean
a better future

for the whole valley
and for everyone in it.

Then I say yes.

[hopeful music]

So the towns are merged?

When we last met you were
in agreement.

Well, that was before-

Before you found out that I was
going to be your co-mayor

instead of Michael?

Try pushing Lee around.

We would like to work
with you, Mayor.

And we promise to compromise
on your demands in good faith.

But yes, it is fait d'accompli.

This is a terrible idea and will
bring trouble to this valley.

I promise you, as Governor,
that won’t happen.

Mmm.

Like your predecessor promised
the valley’s water was safe?

Hmph.

I may be a lone voice

but I will continue to fight
this monstrosity.

And maybe the voters will turn
against me in the next election.

But at least I will be able
to sleep at night.

Can you say the same?

Maisie, your own council agreed.

Ugh, Mike, you are being fooled.

Maisie, you’re wrong.

I know you’re not used to
hearing it but you’re wrong.

[chuckles]
This isn’t over.

I’m sorry, Lucas.

No, I’m sorry to cause
a family rift.

Oh, don’t worry about that.

As Hickam rifts go,
this was mild.

Well, in the end, thanks
to Henry, you got your deal.

Congratulations, fellas.

Thank you.

Well played, Henry.

I knew I needed you on the team.
Welcome aboard.

[door opens]

[knocking]

Am I disturbing you?

Not at all, come on in.
Would you like to take a seat?

I can’t stay.

Well, I want to say I’m sorry
about the blindside today.

That’s alright.

I suppose it was inevitable we’d
have to join the school board.

I promise I’ll do everything
in my power

to make sure you
maintain independence.

Thank you, Lucas.
I appreciate that.

Um, Opal really wanted you
to have this.

I think she was inspired
on the hike.

This is even better
than I imagined.

[laughs]

She really believes
in the Bouchard GV.

The GV?

Grand vision.

At least that’s what the
children are calling it.

And I believe in it, too.

That means a great deal to me.

Well, I’m sure you have
lots to do,

merging towns and all that,
so I will leave you to it.

I meant what I said yesterday.

About how much your friendship
means to me.

Me too.

Would you make me a promise?

If you have the opportunity
to be truly happy,

you jump in with both feet.

You deserve that.

Thank you.

I will.

They were only trying to help.

I know. But now I gotta deal
with this.

You and Jacob used to be close,
very close.

I remember when I first saw you.

You were side by side singing
in the church choir.

He used to love to harmonize.

Hmm.

Granddaddy taught us.

And then he decided
that somehow I crossed him

and he didn’t want to speak
to me anymore.

I don’t recall you beating down
his door.

Minnie, he’s impossible.
And difficult.

And stubborn.
He's so stubborn, Minnie.

I guess that runs in the family.

[scoffs]

It’s been a long time.
Remember what you told the kids.

There’s nothing more precious
than family.

You have nothing to lose
and everything to gain.

The angle at which the bullet
entered your leg is clear.

The shooter was inches from you.

Ok. So what you’re saying is-

You saw the shooter.

Who I assume was Clayton Pike,
who confessed.

We’re concerned that Pike
didn’t act alone.

In fact, he might not have
even been there.

If the real culprit is still out
there you could be in danger.

I appreciate your concern.

However, if anyone else
was involved

they’ve had five months
to finish the job.

I would think they would have
tried by now.

We’re all just trying
to keep you safe.

I know, Rosemary.
And thank you.

If you remember anything...

Of course.

Oh, wait.

[gunshot]

I do remember something.

I grabbed the gun.
Just before it went off.

Did you see his face?

for me.

Thank you.

So what’re you gonna do?

Well, I’m thinking of taking
Scout out for a walk,

work off some of this dinner.

About Mrs. Thornton?

Well, that, Allie, is...
complicated, really.

Goodnight.
