When Calls the Heart

Previously on When Calls the Heart:

I was thinking of having an outdoor wedding.

Then we are going to make this the wedding of your dreams.

He offered me the position of head nurse

for the entire hospital.

But it's so far away and we're in this together, aren't we?

Ever since I was five years old

I wanted to be a teacher and writer.

The best writing comes right from the heart.

What's in your heart?

For your weekend reading assignments,

upper grades I would like you to read Chapter 5 of "Huckleberry Finn"

and for you lower grades,

please read Chapter 3 of "The Railway Children".

You want to go fishing tomorrow?

Sure, I will meet you at the creek.

I wish I had something fun to do this weekend.

- Me too. - Yeah.

Hey, you wanna come over to my place for a sleepover?

- (EMILY) Tonight? - (ALLIE) Sure.

Allie, does your uncle know about this?

He's the one who's always telling me to make friends.

I'll take that as a no.

- - It will be fun.

Mmm.

Gustav.

What's the spice you're using in the chowder?

L'annett.

In English dill.

No, no, I taste the dill, it's something else.

Something more earthy and rich.

Ahhh! The smoked paprika.

You have a very discerning palate.

Bill, if I were the suspicious type,

I think you might be spying.

Like the café has anything to learn from you, Bouchard.

No, no.

We're find with our good ol' home cooking.

I completely agree.

My compliments to the chef.

Merci.

Hey, Ned.

How's the goulash?

Delicious.

They say the smart business man never divulges his secrets.

They also say to steal from the best.

I choose to be flattered.

Hmph.

I've got two words, "smoked paprika".

That isn't in this recipe.

Well, so we'll just improvise.

When you started changing the menu you said

you'd eat your hat before you copied Lucas.

Who said anything about Lucas?

Bill.

I tasted Gustav's chowder too.

Clara really wants to have our wedding down by the pond.

Jesse, think carefully about that?

It's so damp down there and mucky.

The things that could go wrong; what if it rains?

Hmm?

Still I kinda like the pond idea.

Me too.

I can't imagine anything more perfect.

- The bride has spoken. -

Here, try this chowder for me.

- Oh. - Oh.

Alright.

Mmm, oh, that's the tastiest batch yet.

Hmm?

No, it's good.

It's good.

But?

I'm sorry Clara, far be it for me to criticize,

there's too much salt.

Just a tad.

I think it's perfect.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Hi, I thought I'd stop by and help Allie carry her books home.

I hear her teacher really ladles on the homework.

Oh, well, I think Allie will manage just fine,

but I'm not so sure about you.

Me? Why? What's happening?

Uncle Nathan could I have a sleepover at our place tonight?

Please!

Uh... yes... Yeah, yeah, that sounds like fun.

Thanks.

It's a lot of fun

Good luck!

What have you decided about Hamilton?

Nothing yet.

I have until next week to tell them.

If you want the job, we'll make it work.

How did the surgery go?

It was pretty straight forward.

Finished early.

So, you've had time on your hands.

Yeah, I found this new camera store.

You should see how compact they are making these things.

I'll see soon enough.

What time does your train leave Union City?

Not 'till 8:00.

Meet me for breakfast tomorrow?

It's a date.

So, uh, no smoked paprika?

I'm sorry Judge.

I only get smoked paprika in

when Lucas places a special order for it.

You can't spare a tin?

He pre-pays.

I suppose I could ask him if he would like to sell you some.

No, no, no. No, don't bother.

Alright. Well if...

Ohhh!

Are you alright?

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

It must be something I ate.

That goulash at the saloon.

Maybe?

I'll be fine.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Hope Valley Central.

How can I direct your call?

Guess where I am calling from?

I don't have to guess. I can see.

What are you doing in Bill's office?

He asked me to do some filing.

Can you chat? What's new?

Well, I just heard Ned got sick eating at the saloon.

Oh, you're kidding?

I'm not kidding.

Tell me more.

- Hi Lucas. - Elizabeth.

I was just going to pick up some typing paper.

I'll be spending a good portion of the weekend

working on my novel.

You sound inspired.

I am.

I am.

Thank you again for your help.

It's all you.

I've had some thoughts about your dress, what do you think?

Flounce around the neckline, sash at your waist.

It would be gorgeous on you.

Uh... I don't know.

Alright. Alright.

Well, how about something a bit more modern?

Perhaps straight skirt just above the ankle,

with some beading... oh, it's all the rage.

Well, at least out East it is.

You could be quite the trendsetter here in Hope Valley.

It isn't really what I had in mind.

Alright, Clara, what did you have in mind?

Well, I was thinking of something not too formal.

No, darling Clara, no.

You missed out on all the trimmings the first time around.

You absolutely must have a formal gown this time.

Mmmhmm.

I guess.

Hi Allie.

You look a little confused.

Uncle Nathan gave me a dollar to buy food for the sleepover.

And all you're buying is candy?

When Opal had a sleepover, her mom helped us make Taffy Apples.

Oh.

Oh, you would like to serve something special as well.

Well, how about cupcakes?

Cupcakes are the best!

But I don't know how to make them.

Well, I have an idea!

How about I help?

I could bake the cupcakes at my house

and then drop them off at yours so

you and your friends can decorate them.

That's even better than Taffy Apples.

Now, then, we are going to need flour and sugar and cocoa powder

and lots and lots of butter for the icing.

Clara, how did the kippers do at breakfast this morning?

- A few brave souls ordered them. - And?

Well, one customers sent them back.

And another left most of them on his plate.

There's no accounting for taste.

I'll say.

Oh, hi Ned.

Faith, is Dr. Shepherd free?

He's in Union City today.

I'm afraid he won't be back until late.

Oh...

Something is disagreeing with me.

Hmm. Where does it hurt exactly?

It's right here.

Can you describe the pain? Dull? Sharp?

It's kind of burning?

When did you last eat?

A few hours ago?

Hmm.

What do you think it is?

I have a suspicion.

You should come back tomorrow morning

so that Dr. Shepherd can examine you.
