When Calls the Heart

Previously on when calls the heart...

Charles? It's so wonderful to see you again.

You as well.

Is there something wrong?

You tell me, Mr. Avery.

What happened to bill?

He's married, with a child.

Tom Thornton,

at your service.

Will we be seeing you again?

No, I'm leaving Hamilton in the morning.

Jack!

How was the big city?

A change of pace.

Well, I'm sure you and Elizabeth are glad...

Oh...

Pardon me.

No Elizabeth?

Her mother's still not doing well.

I'm so sorry.

What does her doctor say? Will she recover?

Well, it's too soon to know.

I'll keep her in my prayers.

And Elizabeth too.

Lots of changes since the trial.

All for the best.

And a new name, too.

Hope valley.

Hope valley.

It fits.

Maybe this isn't a good time

to bring this up,

but school's about to start,

and if Elizabeth isn't going to return,

well then, we'll need to find a new teacher.

You're right.

This isn't a good time to bring it up.

Remember this?

How could I forget?

It took you half an hour to carve,

and you nearly cut off your thumb.

I was only nine at the time.

And very impressive.

Especially when you said,

"as long as these letters endure,

so shall our friendship."

I said that?

Mm-hmm.

What a poet I was.

And a prophet.

Here we are, after all these years.

Some things are meant to endure.

Still the poet.

But even better.

I still have my thumb.

Charles!

Mother, did Dr. clement leave already?

Yes, it was a short visit.

What did he say?

The same as always.

Make sure I take my medication and get plenty of rest.

Honestly, I don't know why i even bother with that man.

I should help you to your room.

Oh, no, I'm fine, darling.

I'd like to stay and read a while longer.

Well, is there anything I can do for you?

As a matter of fact, there is.

Cecile Kensington is chairing an event

for the charity league,

and I promised I would help.

If you could...

Take a basket to the shelter?

Mm-hmm.

Charles already volunteered to drive me.

He is such a dear.

To say nothing of the fact that he is quite handsome.

And comes from a wonderful family.

Goodness, mother, if i didn't know any better,

I might think father had something to worry about.

How you tease your mother...

Fellows, fellows, please.

Look, I can't make any guarantees,

but my goal is to find jobs

for each and every one of you.

My trade is mining.

I don't know the first thing about timber.

Well, we'll train you then.

As soon as the mill is up and running,

any one of you fellows who used to work for the mining company

will get first crack at any job

my foremen can teach you to do.

All right?

Tell that to these fellows.

We've got a right to work for a day's wage, same as you.

Okay, fellows, take it easy.

Everyone here is going to get a fair chance.

Now, form a line.

Single file.

Any arguing, you go straight to the back.

I appreciate the help, constable.

Just doing my job.

Leland coulter.

Lee,

and if there's anything i can do to return the favor,

please let me know.

Actually, I could use a hand

getting the church building finished.

The school term starts soon.

So if you could spare a few men, I'd be grateful.

Done.

And I'll be there myself.

I like your attitude.

Well, thank you.

I came to hope valley to make a profit,

but if I can,

I'd like to make a difference, too.

Fair enough.

Let's go, young man.

I think you should wear your hair up.

And I just bought a splendid new hat

I can lend you.

Julie, please.

I'm just going to drop off a charity basket with Charles,

not attend a society ball.

It must be so exciting

to have two men pining over you.

I don't know where you get these crazy notions.

No one is pining over me.

You kissed Jack,

and I'm sure if you gave Charles

the least bit of encouragement...

Don't you have anything more important to think about?

Well, as a matter of fact, I do.

I received a letter from an admirer.

Would you like to know who it is?

No, but I suppose

you're going to tell me anyway.

Tom Thornton.

He says he'd like to see me.

I really don't think that's a good idea.

Why not?

Because he's dangerous?

You don't know anything about him.

I think he's just... misunderstood.

And I suppose Mr. tolliver,

who robbed a bank

and held you hostage at gunpoint

was also "just misunderstood"?

Well, that was different.

This is Jack's brother.

Yes, and he's also the black sheep of the family.

He said so himself.

Don't you want me to be happy?

Of course I do,

but there are a lot of other men out there

who will make you happy besides tom.

I can't imagine who.

Please, promise me you won't see him.

Just think.

If I were to marry tom, and you were to marry Jack,

well, we'd be sisters-in-law as well as sisters.

Now then,

just make sure you check in on mother while I'm out.

Are you sure I can't go with you?

How about this...

Once father gets home,

you and I can go into town for a concert at St. James hall.

Could we?

Oh, that would be completely divine.

I just love musicians, don't you?

They're so...

Bohemian.

I better find something to wear.

Something avant-garde.

Ooh! Maybe a head scarf!

Where is she going?

To marry a musician.

Bite your tongue.

You know, it's really so much nicer

when you put the napkin in the glass

like a fan.

Voila.

Rosemary, I really appreciate you volunteering to help,

but I hate to impose on your time like this.

Oh, it's no trouble at all.

I know how busy you are

with all the new workers in town.

And I was thinking today we should make corn muffins

instead of biscuits.

But we should charge more.

They're really so much better than...

Than what?

Than the run of the mill biscuits served...

By other people.

Oh, constable,

we're not actually open yet.

Thank you, Rosemary,

but I'm here on a personal matter.

I'll start the oven.

Don't mind me.
