When Calls the Heart

Previously, on when calls the heart...

Jack! I just got this telegram...

Tom and Julie were in an automobile accident.

Nurse Carter, this is my brother.

Mr. Avery.

I wish you the best of luck with everything.

Jack? What's happening?

I'm not sure.

I talked to his physician.

He said there's no legitimate reason

to keep him here any longer.

Can you make something up?

Like what?

A case of temporary insanity?

Have him committed?

That might work.

Does it run in the family?

Well, only when it comes to women.

If you two are talking about me,

I'd like to hear what you're saying.

I'm just saying

I know you'll be happy to get out of here.

The first thing we're gonna do

is get something to eat.

No offense,

but the food here is terrible.

We're famous for it.

The first thing we need to do is convince Mr. Thatcher

not to press charges.

How are we going to do that?

Well, getting you a job

out of town would be a start,

and agreeing not to see Julie would help.

My uncle is a foreman at a quarry in fort mcneil.

They're always hiring.

I could contact him, put in a good word.

That's a great idea.

And don't even think about arguing with me.

I wasn't going to.

I think it's a good idea.

You do?

I've had enough trouble around here.

Starting over sounds okay to me.

I got to say I'm a little surprised.

Well, maybe getting knocked on the head

knocked some sense into me.

You're looking at a new man.

I'll get in touch with my uncle.

Now, as this is going to be my going-away dinner,

looks like you're buying.

Florence?

Are you all right?

I can't do it anymore.

I'm sorry. Do what?

I am not cut out for this.

Do I need to get you something to drink?

I don't drink, but I'm thinking of starting.

Oh, no. Is it the children?

You mean the little monsters?

Where are they?

Lunch.

But isn't it 10:00?

Who's counting?

Come now, Florence. It can't be that bad.

They're only children.

I am never going back there.

Never!

What about the founders' day play?

They're gonna have to find somebody else

to direct those little miscreants.

You poor thing.

Don't you worry. I just have an idea.

Because of my professional experience,

- I can take over the play. - And the children?

You'll take on teaching the children as well?

Sure. Why not?

I love children.

You'll get over that.

But I won't be able to start right away.

- I have a deadline to meet. - That's fine.

After lunch...

I'll send them home.

Excuse me, ladies.

- Oh! - Hi, Florence.

Rosemary, look at that.

Wow! Oh, it's heavy! Is it real?

Of course it's real! It's solid gold.

What is it?

It's a railway spike.

You drive it into the wooden cross ties

that hold down the iron rails.

It's customary to use a gold one

when you're setting down the last rail.

I'm gonna use that one when I finish my spur line.

I was thinking maybe we could have a ceremony or something,

and you could help me.

Oh! I would love to. And i wouldn't be surprised

if it makes the front page of the paper.

Excellent.

Julie! Let me in!

Just a minute!

Why is the door locked?

I have no idea.

- What's happening? - Nothing.

Then what are those clothes

doing on your bed?

I was just sorting out some things

to give to charity.

Julie, we need to talk about what happened

between you and tom.

You already know what happened.

I'm not sure I do.

When the car went off the road,

who was driving?

What a strange question.

You know I have no idea how to drive.

Well, you could've convinced tom to let you try.

Please. Do you really think I'd do something that reckless?

Yes.

Well, that's simply ridiculous.

- Julie! - If we don't hurry...

We're going to be late for the bridesmaids fitting,

and you know how viola gets if anyone's late...

Julie! There's evidence.

Jack found it.

Now, will you please just tell me the truth?

Promise me you won't say anything to father.

I'm not gonna say a word.

Thank you.

Because you're going to tell him yourself.

- I can't! - Why not?

Because he'll kill me!

Julie, what's important

is that you take responsibility for what happened.

It won't matter! Father will just be more angry

because tom let me drive in the first place.

Then you'll tell him it wasn't tom's fault.

He won't listen!

Then you'll make him listen!

I remember the time

you faced off against them whiskey-runners.

They were mad as hornets, and it was 10 against 1!

Well, thank you, Jonas,

for making the story better than it was,

but I believe it was only five.

And you told 'em

the odds were still not in their favor!

Jonas?

This seems to help.

I'm fine, I'm fine.

Ain't this somethin'?

I sure never thought I'd end up like this.

You'll be back to your old self

before you know it.

Probably time for me to get some shut-eye.

I'm sure...

You two have a lot to talk about.

What did the doctors say?

He's getting better.

It's just so expensive with all the medical bills.

That's not your worry.

The important thing is you're here.

Nora...

We can't just pick up as if nothing's happened.

Why not? The past is in the past.

Do you have any idea how hard it was for me?

I lost a son, too.

Wasn't the same for you as it was for me.

Yes, it was!

I was there when Martin was born.

I held him in my arms when he took his first breath,

and I watched him grow.

And I held him in my arms when he took his last breath.

I don't want to talk about this.

We have to talk about it.

First, Martin was gone

and then you.

Do you have know what that was like for me?

I did what I had to do.

Maybe you did.

But it was something we needed to go through together.

I think we need

to take in the sides a little more, Julie.

"We"? I'm the one wearing it, and it's tight enough already.

I won't be able to eat anything at the reception!

Someone's in better spirits.

Especially for someone whose life

was "in ruins" a few hours ago.

Oh. I'm over all that.

And are you over tom?

Yes.

I am!

I should've listened to both of you.

When I really thought about it,

I realized he wasn't right for me.

Never would've worked out.

Really?

Really!

In fact, I was going to ask you if Lionel has any cousins.

What a dreadful...
