When Calls the Heart

Previously on When Calls the Heart.

- I want you to be... - We want you to be our bridesmaid!

Of course I will.

You have quite the way with words.

Ms. Carter I have good news.

They've agreed to enrol you in the upcoming semester.

I'm going to Chicago in a week.

You've had an impressive career.

I try not to dwell on the past.

You're a partner in his oil business.

- That's right. - Did it give you pause

to go into business with a man convicted of stealing?

Huh!

Let me handle the food then?

- You are going to be far too busy. - Well, how is that?

Because you're going to be walking me down the aisle.

Good morning. Good morning.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

What are you doing here?

It's such a beautiful day

I thought I would take a walk and return your latest chapters.

Good morning, Mrs. Thornton.

Good morning, Anna.

Thank you for bringing these.

My pleasure.

Now, I'm very excited about...

- Good morning. - Good morning, Emily.

- Sorry, um... - That's ok.

You were saying.

I am excited about the dynamics between...

Good morning, Robert.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

Good morning.

Good morning, Allie.

Hello.

Hello.

Uh... uh...

I should probably start school.

Right.

Bye.

Ah, perfect.

You're in a good mood.

Well, I like when things go according to plan.

Oh, what plan?

My plan.

I read a short legal brief, I make the eggs.

I read a long brief,

I make the dinner special.

The law is way too dry to do it non-stop.

- What? - Oh.

Oh, by the way, I have a pre-trial conference later today.

Am I supposed to know what that means?

It means that I need you to cover for me.

Oh, so what you are really saying

is your plan only works when I help.

But now you have help too.

Still, it's a good thing I quit my job at the saloon.

Thank you for that, Clara.

Now, if only those plates would deliver themselves.

I was very pleased with your book reports.

Excellent work every one.

Robert, your paper on Freud's dream analysis

was pretty ambitious.

Do you remember your dreams, Mrs. Thornton?

Only the strange ones.

Well, I can try and interpret them for you.

Thank you. That's very nice of you.

Allie, did you enjoy learning all about Queen Victoria?

I did. But it was sad when Prince Albert died.

They really loved each other.

Yes, they did.

Nice work Emily.

You know, Paul Cezanne is one of my favourite artist as well.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

Opal, are you alright?

My arms itch.

Well, I can see that.

Here, let me have a look.

Oh, that ain't good.

You were right, chicken pox.

How dangerous is it?

Not dangerous at all for kids her age.

Highly annoying and highly contagious.

There is a good chance every kid will catch it.

Class, may I have your attention please.

How many of you have had chicken pox?

Oh, my.

I am going to need all of you to go straight home

and tell your parents that you have been exposed.

Yes, Allie.

Can I catch it again?

No. Once you've had it, you are immune.

What happens with chicken pox?

We all get to stay home is what happens.

I will be stopping by all of your homes later

to check on you.

And I will be bringing by all of your homework

assignments for the next few days.

But I was going to go fishing.

I'm sure it will take at least an hour for me

to organize all of the homework assignments

and then another few hours to deliver them.

I'm sure you'll have plenty of time to catch your fish.

Thanks Mrs. Thornton.

You are welcome.

Class dismissed.

Should I be worried about Little Jack?

Have you had chicken pox?

When I was seven.

Ah, he's perfectly safe with you.

I would prefer it if Jack waited a few years before he caught it.

Keep him away from anybody who may be contagious.

Opal. I will be by later to check on you.

Thanks Mrs. Thornton.

Ready to go?

Let's go.

All right, who wants to start?

He cheated me.

The crude was top quality.

Mr. Murphy why don't you tell me what this law suit is about.

I paid for high-quality crude.

Henry's oil is sub-standard.

That is an untruth.

I thought oil is oil.

No. High-quality crude is sweet.

Low quality, like Henry's, is sour.

Sweet and sour? How is that?

It's all about the sulphur content.

The more sulphur, the more sour.

And I paid top dollar for the higher grade.

And you received the higher grade.

Well, my test show it is not.

- Excuse me. - What?

I am just a silent partner here.

Is there any way I can have my name removed from this law suit?

It doesn't work that way, you're in.

I'd like to see all of you work this out amongst yourselves

but I can see that's not an option.

Trial starts 9:00 am tomorrow.

I am going to need more time than that.

You've had time, Henry. This has been on the books for a while.

I mean, if word gets out that my crude is low quality,

well, it's going to ruin me.

You mean us.

Us.

Do you have proof that shows that your oil is sweet?

Yes, and my clients will say so.

Well, then present it all as evidence.

9:00AM tomorrow.

We want a jury.

Well played.

Doesn't buy you much.

We'll find a jury by tomorrow.

The trial starts 9:00AM the next morning.

Alright.

Good work.

Yeah.

It should only take me a couple of hours

to deliver the homework.

It's fine Mrs. Thornton, you don't need to rush.

And just to be safe, be sure to check

with anyone who comes to the door that they've had chicken pox.

I don't want to take any chances with Little Jack.

I understand.

I'm just glad I had them when I was young.

Me too.

We are going to have some time together.

We're going to play with your blocks and read.

We are going to have so much fun.

- Bye. - Bye.

Oh, what's wrong?

Have you had chicken pox?

Never. I was one of the lucky ones.

I'm not sure how lucky that makes you.

We've had an outbreak at school.

Oh, no.

I'm afraid Little Jack is off limits now.

Doctor's orders.

No, of course, I understand.

Bye.

We already have a couple of patients in the infirmary

with symptoms so the odds are the town has been exposed.

Oh.

Good news is the contagion period is only two days.

So you both have had it, right?

- Oh, yes. Ages ago. - Me too.

Okay. I would appreciate it if you would tell everyone in town

- just to be safe. - Of course.

- Absolutely. - Thank you.

Carson, there you are!

What's the matter?

I can't stop itching.

Let me take a look at your arm.

I just can't stop itching. It's terrible.

Chicken pox?

You've never had them before?

I was one of the lucky ones.

Rosemary, chicken pox for adults can be very dangerous.

So this has to be taken seriously.

Are you certain?
