06x09 - Two of Hearts

[bunniefuu]

Previously on "When Calls the Heart"...

Rosemary, Elizabeth told me

you could use some help
with the festival.

This is Spencer.

He's been through so much.

That's why the orphanage
asked us to take him.

I want to make you happy.

For me to be happy,

You have to be happy.

I know how much you want
a child of your own.

What if it doesn't happen for us?

We face it together.

Wow, it's really coming along in here.

I know. I can hardly believe
that the grand opening

- is right around the corner.
- Yes.

I think you should have the honour

at the ribbon cutting ceremony.

But you are the inspiration.

I'm looking for Lucas Bouchard.

Elizabeth?

- Drop the w*apon!
- Ugh!

[GRUNTS]

[KNOCKING]

Oh, Julie!

How long has it been?

How are you doing?

Well, I'm good now.

You were meant to arrive yesterday.

I was beginning to worry.

I was waylaid but I wouldn't
miss this for the world.

Imagine me, godmother.

I promise I'll be a great one.

I'm sure you will.

Where is little Jack?

He's upstairs.

- May I see him?
- Of course you may.

All right.

Now, you'll need to speak with Ned.

He's supplying the balloons.

Oh, he's waiting on the helium t*nk.

Oh, all right, and what else...

Jill Hayes has lemonade and doughnuts.

- Check.
- Oh,

what about your hairstyling station?

Oh, I'm teaching Clara
the style tonight.

She's going to help me
out with the hair booth

so I have time to help
you during the festival.

- Excellent.
- [GOAT BLEATS]

Oh, Jed, Laura!

Ohh, we are so excited
about the petting zoo.

Now, how many of these
baby animals do we have?

We have two lambs, a couple kids,

rabbits, puppies, and Princess,
our miniature horse.

Now are you sure they're gonna be okay?

'Cause Laura's going to
be helping Elizabeth

for part of the day and I
can't be away from my farm.

Have no fear, I already have
the perfect person lined up

to look after these little darlings.

[GIGGLES]

Find me someone.

Mr. Bouchard.

Good afternoon, ladies.

How are the library preparations?

It's gonna be ready.

I see your cider tent is coming along.

Mm-hmm.

And you're still planning
on entertaining the crowds

with cards and magic tricks?

Looking forward to it.

I just hope there are no
unexpected surprises.

[SMALL LAUGH]

Only the fun kind.

I promise.

Oh, Bill!

We have you down as a judge
for the pie-tasting contest.

Well, who's baking this year?

Uh, well, we have Bertha
and Florence confirmed,

if she has time.

Oh, and I heard Wilma say
she was going to enter

- her apricot rhubarb pie.
- Oh.

Hmm. Apricot rhubarb.

Well, that sounds interesting.

So, I can definitely count
on you as a judge, Judge?

[GIGGLES]

Sure. How bad can it be?

Ah. There's the spirit.

Speaking of spirit,

I will see you at the
christening this afternoon.

Yes, you will.

Only eight more booths to inspect.

Okay.

[KNOCKING]

Hi.

Hi. Sorry if I'm interrupting.

No, not at all. I was just starting
to set up for the christening.

Will you and Allie be there?

Oh, yeah, we wouldn't miss it.

I... I made you this.

You made that?

I just-I wanted to give you
something to say thank you.

You know, for everything
you've done with Allie.

It's for the library.

It's perfect.

It's Emerson.

I remember you told
me you liked Emerson.

Thank you, Nathan.

[BABY BABBLES]

[LAUGHS]

Hi.

(BABY VOICE) How are you?

[LAUGHS]

♪

♪

I wasn't expecting you to be here.

I was just finishing up.

I find that to be both inspirational

and potentially reckless
at the same time.

Like rushing into a burning
building to save a friend?

I just reacted.

Lucas.

I have a son.

And your past ties could
have taken me from him.

I wouldn't have let
anything happen to you.

Without fear and without hesitation.

I would have done whatever
it took to keep you safe.

I mean, being a hero is
kind of my thing now.

I really should be going.

- You have a big evening.
- Yes, I do.

Will we see you there?

Yes, you will.

Good.

(LEE) The pleasure is all mine.

No, absolutely.

Well, we're always here
for your lumber needs.

Okay, until then.

They received the final shipment,

the contract is complete.

- We did it.
- We did it.

And I couldn't have done it without you.

Which leads me to my
next order of business.

It's good he went down for his nap.

He'll be in better spirits
for the christening.

Come sit.

You know mother, father and Viola

all wished they could be here.

I know. This christening came
together so last minute.

But I didn't expect them

to just magically appear
from their trip to England.

The reason I was delayed was because

when mother and father heard about it,

they wired me very specific instructions

to bring something for you.

Ohhhh...

Oh!

Is this?

The gown we wore to
all our christenings.

Ohh.

They wanted little Jack to
wear it on his special day.

Thank you.

Then you tuck it and pin it, like that.

Got it?

Got it.

I can't thank you enough for
helping me with the hair booth.

Oh, are you kidding?

It's my pleasure.

Plus, now I have a spiffy new
hairdo for the christening.

- Mm-hmm.
- Oh,

and are you going to the dance tomorrow?

I was planning on it.

Hmm. That'll make Kevin very happy.

Kevin?

- Mm-hmm.
- The blacksmith?

Yes.

In case you hadn't noticed,
he kinda likes you.

Hmm.

Well, he's very sweet.

Just a terrible dart player.

[LAUGHS]

Clara!

Oh, sorry, am I interrupting?

We're just finishing up.

What's going on?

- Lee gave me a promotion.
- [GASPS]

You're looking at the new
manager for Coulter Lumber.

Oh, Jesse, that's wonderful.

I'm very proud of you.

Thank you.

What's all this?

Clara has graciously offered
to help me with the hair booth

at the festival.

Fancy, huh?

You look... beautiful.

[GIGGLES]

[CHURCH BELL TOLLS]

My name is Pastor Simon,

and we are here today to
partake in the holy sacrament,

and to celebrate our happiness
for this precious child.

Elizabeth.

Oh, I just wanted to thank you
all so much for being here

to share in this moment of joy.

And I look forward to your help

in little Jack's life
in the years to come.

Have you chosen guardians
for your child?

I have.

Have you chosen godparents
for your child?

I have.

Please, come forward.

With the help of God,

will you aid and assist
Elizabeth in raising her son?

- I will.
- I will.

Will you be upstanding
examples for little Jack?

- I will.
- I will.

Will you walk with him
through the way of Christ?

(BILL & JULIE) I will.

And will you care for him and help him

to find his place in life?

(BILL & JULIE) I will.

Eternal Father, we ask that
you pour your blessings

into this water and sanctify it for
our use today in Christ's name.

I baptize you in the name
of the Father, the Son,

and the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

(CONGREGATION) Amen.

Little Jack, let me be the first to say

that I wish you a long life.

And much happiness.

Go in the light and the peace of Christ.

Amen.

(CONGREGATION) Amen.

You did it.

Beautiful ceremony.

[CROWD CHATTERS HAPPILY]

Somebody's getting tired.

Yeah.

Excuse me, I have some more presents.

Thank you so much. Just over there.

I'll talk to you later.

Can I get you anything?

Yes, actually, a coffee would be great.

It would.

Hi!

Hey.

Um...

- Sorry, I'm late.
- No, it's fine.

Um, where's Allie?

She's at a sleepover with Opal
and a bunch of the other girls.

I am so happy she's making friends.

Yeah, well, me too, and
that's thanks to you.

Well, I know it isn't always easy

raising a child on your own.

Yes, it definitely has its challenges,

as well as its joys.

Yes, I know.

This little man doesn't want
to stay in his carriage.

I haven't been able to
put him down all night.

Yeah, the ceremony was beautiful.

Thank you.

(ROSEMARY) Elizabeth, come over here.

Uh, I can watch baby Jack, if you want.

- Are you sure?
- Yeah.

I mean, I think I could manage.
I am a Mountie.

Oh, right, I forgot babysitting
was a part of your training.

Yeah, well, how hard can it be?

Hi.

Thank you, I'll be right back.

Hey, it's okay.

Mom's gonna come back soon.

(NATHAN) Do you like funny faces?

[SILLY SOUNDS]

- [LAUGHING]
- [SILLY SOUNDS]

Hey, you like that?

[SILLY SOUNDS]

Peter was so glad that
he rose from the floor

and flew to the window.

"Where are you going?"

"To tell the other boys", said Peter.

"But don't go, Peter.

"I have lots of other stories."

I think it's time for you to go to bed.

No.

I'm not tired.

Please read some more.

Are you sure?

Please?

Okay, I'll get to the end
of the next chapter,

and then it's off to bed.

- Deal?
- Deal.

Okay.

"Peter did it both slowly and quickly.

"I've got it now, cried Wendy..."

That was a big day for you, wasn't it?

Sleep well, young man.

He will.

And so will I.

[LAUGHS]

Oh, we're so lucky to have
you both in our lives.

Not to mention right next door.

Same as us.

A thousand times over.

- Good night.
- Good night.

Sweetheart?

You okay?

Fine.

Remembering to count my blessings.

Hmm.

(ELIZABETH) All right, everyone.

Gather round for the grand
opening of our library.

Counting down from three?

[CROWD] Three, two, one...

[APPLAUSE]

Come on, I want to show
you the shelves I built.

Uh... sure.

I'll take him from here, Laura.

Hi.

What do you think, Jack?

Look at all the books.

I think he'll like this one.

Ohh...

"The Tale of Peter Rabbit".

Come on.

Look at the bunny in the watering can.

Come on, it's perfect, don't you think?

There's my godson.

Do you have a cowboy section?

Sure do. It's right over there.

You're gonna love it.

[GIGGLES]

[GIGGLES]

Hi.

Okay, here you go.

These came in today.

Remember, for his size, one a day.

Got it.

All right, Spencer, you ready
to go to the festival?

Wait a minute.

Yup. It's just as I thought.

He's running very low on fun.

Is it serious, doctor?

It's way too serious.

Hmm?

Nothing a good day at
the festival won't fix.

Okay, let's go.

[CROWD CHATTERS]

Rosemary, the second
helium t*nk just arrived.

Oh, finally!

Why, what's wrong?

The whole town wants a balloon.

I'll fill, you tie.

Okay.

- Hey, Henry.
- Lee.

Thank you.

What's up with Henry?

Looks like a man with two wet socks.

I stopped trying to figure
Henry out a long time ago.

Besides, you and I have
things to celebrate.

Yes, we do.

To little Jack's guardian.

To little Jack's godfather.

Both important jobs.

Very important jobs.

One's just as important as the other.

Absolutely.

He's gonna come to you for guidance.

And you'll be there to take care of him

if Elizabeth needs your help.

That's right.

[CLINK]

Is there anything else
we're supposed to do?

I have no idea.

Hey, Lee.

Oh, there he is.

- Did you get it?
- Sure did.

Hey, thanks for letting
me borrow your car.

Oh yeah, no problem.

So this is really happening, huh?

Yeah.

Tonight at the dance. Good man.

- Okay, go back to work.
- All right.

- See you then.
- All right.

Thank you.

[LAUGHS]

Great throw, Allie.

Try it again.

That looks like fun, Spencer.
Do you want to try?

Ah!

This one is my favourite.

Hi.

All right.

Used to be really good at...

Nope.

You almost got it.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

You're pulling too fast.

You want to try it?

[LAUGHS]

Nice one Spencer. Way to go.

Okay. Let me see.

All right.

So, there you go. Sheriff Spencer.

Now, you can bring
this with you tomorrow

when we go to Brookfield

and you can show all the
other kids what you won.

Spencer, Grace and her sister, Lillian,

are gonna take really good care of you.

Plus, you're gonna have a
bunch of kids to play with.

All right, step right up, folks.

Hi.

[BOTTLE CLINKS]

I thought you were supposed to
be part of the entertainment.

I'm just taking a little break.

Hey little guy.

How would you like a teddy bear?

Oh, well that would mean you'd
actually have to win one first.

I accept that challenge.

Three more rings, my good sir.

This game is all about technique.

I see.

Wow.

It's just all in the wrist.

Oh, my goodness!

And it just so happens that
I have a magician's wrist.

Did you mean to bounce it
off that other bottle?

I absolutely... did not.

Lady luck is with me today.

Here you go.

Say thank you, Jack.

Do you like the teddy bear!

Yeah, a teddy bear.

Oh, my goodness!

Did you take a little spill?

Yes?

Let me take a look.

It doesn't look that serious.

Just in case... Is that all better?

- Yes.
- [GIGGLES]

Where are your parents?

Alright.

Here you go.

Off you go.

Thank you.

Oh, there you are, Bill!

What are you doing?

Well, I need a place to work.

Alright, well, I need to discuss

the pie tasting contest with you.

We have a problem.

Robert and Harper thought the
tasting was open to everyone

and they have now eaten
almost all the pies.

For the record, they did think
that Bertha's was the best.

Okay. Well, give me about five minutes

and I will go out and make it official.

Problem solved.

_

It's ok you can go in.

I just wanna look.

I love goats.

Thank you.

What?

What's that you say?

This little boy here?

Spencer, this fuzzy little
guy's name is Snowball,

and he wants to be your friend.

What do you say?

So cute.

[LAUGHS]

He's fuzzy, right?

[GIGGLES]

Ha!

One moment.

Uh... Emily.

Can you find Fiona and get her to come

to the hairstyling station immediately?

- Sure.
- Right over there, hm-mm.

Wow.

So, what do you think?

It's... almost there.

- Oh, let me see.
- No!

Uh, not until it's finished,

because it is going to look fantastic.

Oh.

Well, speaking of fantastic,

you have done a marvellous
job with the festival.

Thank you.

You know, I can't take all the credit.

Fiona has been a great help.

Oh, here she comes.

Ah, Fiona!

Uh-huh, yep.

It's... yep.

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

(ROSEMARY WHISPERS) It's a disaster.

[FORCED LAUGHS]

Oh. Okay.

This just needs a couple
minor adjustments

and you'll be on your way.

And make sure you tell her
what she's doing wrong.

Doing what?

Oh, it's okay.

(WHISPERS) Sorry.

(WHISPERS) It's okay, it's okay.

You look fantastic.

May we please have some cotton candy?

We most certainly can.

Oh, what a cute little bear.

Did you guys win him? Over there?

Where? Which event?

Oh, good try, sir.

Good try.

Thank you.

All right, step right
up, test your strength.

What do you win if you hit the bell?

Any one of these prizes.

[LAUGHS] A fishing pole!

All right.

That'll be one nickel.

Thank you.

Thank you, sir.

It's okay, Uncle Nathan.

Nice try.

You know what, I'm just
getting warmed up.

Ooh, that was closer.

"A" for effort.

What is the pot, so to speak?

It's a fishing pole for Allie.

A worthy cause.

Mind if I give it a sh*t?

Uh, sure.

Why not?

That'll be one nickel.

Yes sir.

- Thank you, sir.
- Mm-hmm.

I've seen you with a hammer.

This isn't gonna end well.

Ye of little faith.

You do it with momentum.

A combination of mind and muscle.

Careful.

It's about creating torque.

Close, but no cigar.

But I certainly saw the torque.

What's going on here?

They're trying to win a
fishing pole for Allie.

Ah.

Do you mind?

Sure.

I need to stretch a little anyways.

Okay.

[BELL DINGS]

[APPLAUSE]

We have a winner!

Alright.

- Thank you!
- Sure thing.

Carson!

Spencer's missing, I
can't find him anywhere.

Grace, what happened?

He asked me to get cotton candy for him

and I turned my back
for one minute, and...

Who is this Spencer?

He recently lost his parents

and I was taking him to our orphanage.

We need to spread out and look for him.

I'll need some help on
the roads and the woods.

I'll help.

Thanks.

Allie, I'll be back in a minute.

There's lots of places
to hide in the saloon.

I'll go check it out.

Let's go.

Spencer! Come on!

Spencer! Spencer!

Spencer!

Spencer!!

(CALLING) Spencer! Spencer!!

I'll head south.

Okay.

(CALLING) Spencer! Spencer!

Spencer! Where are you?!

Spencer?

Spencer?

Spencer!

Spencer?

Spencer?

[SNEEZES]

Spencer, where are you?

Spencer!

Spencer!

Spencer, come back.

Hey, Spencer, whatcha doing?

You want to come out?

I miss my mommy and daddy.

Yeah.

I know you do, buddy.

Spencer!

Spencer!!

Over here!

[SIGH OF RELIEF]

Oh, Spencer, you scared me.

Allie, your uncle's back.

- You okay?
- Uh-huh.

They found Spencer.

Yes. I see that, it's great news.

Yes, it is.

And now the festivities can continue.

Yes, the founders would be proud.

Mmhmm?

What did you mean by "the
founders will be proud"?

I have no idea, it just came out.

Thank you.

Henry!

What is it?

You tell me.

This is old correspondence.

Regarding mine safety.

"Dear Henry, after careful
review we feel your concerns

"regarding any safety
issues are unwarranted.

"Please consider this matter closed."

What is this?

What does it look like?

It looks like you knew this
mine was unsafe six years ago

before it collapsed
and k*lled people.

I had my concerns, I
mentioned it to the company

and this was their response.

Well, either they were
lying or they were wrong.

I know that now.

But did you know then?

No!

Maybe I should have
insisted upon an inspector,

maybe I should have
gone to the newspaper,

maybe I should have shut down the mine.

That's a lot of maybes.

It is a lot of maybes!

And I have to live with each one
of them every single day, Bill.

I didn't do enough!

The company told me
to shut up and I did!

- Henry!
- You know and

you go ahead and tell
everybody in this town

how I screwed up.

I chose the company over
my friends and neighbours

in this town.

Lord knows I have it coming.

Bill?

Is all that true?

Here you go.

You're not mad?

How could I be mad?
I know how you feel.

Did you know that I lost my mom and dad

when I was little too?

You did?

I was only five.

And I remember feeling
so afraid and confused.

And I felt like I had a
big hole inside of me.

I know exactly what it's like

to feel like you have
no one and no hope.

But that is why my sister and
I have a place in Brookfield

that is full of boys and
girls just like you and me.

And we take care of each other.

We eat together, we learn together,

we have fun together.

Fun?

How?

We play games, we build stuff,
I put on a puppet show.

You definitely have to
see my puppet show.

What kind of shows?

I have dragons and pirates
and knights and princesses.

Princesses?

More pirates and knights.

And I'm thinking of adding a sheriff.

Spencer, will you give our home a sh*t?

I really want you to come live with us.

Okay. I'd like that.

Yay. Me too.

Oh, good try sir, good try.

All right, step right
up, test your strength.

Well, now we are dressed
and ready for the dance.

Another successful event pulled
off by my beautiful wife.

Well, it wasn't without its moments.

Yeah, but you handled it all
with such elegance and poise.

My balloon!

- Oh.
- Woah.

Woah!

[LAUGHS]

That was amazing.

Yeah, do it again!

Oh, I think once is quite enough.

Thank you, Mrs. Coulter.

Today was the best day ever.

Oh, you're very welcome, Opal.

[GIGGLES]

Bye.

What is that little smile?

Nothin'.

You know, you may not see it, but I do.

What's that?

How you touch everyone's
lives, not just mine.

Lee.

No, no, no, it's true.

You know, these may not be our children,

but here in Hope Valley, we're
a part of everyone's family.

Because of you.

It's such a wonderful family.

Yes, it is.

Should we go to the dance?

Yes.

Oh, you look beautiful.

Shhh.

Oh, okay.

(WHISPERS) Thank you.

Are you sure you don't
want to go to the dance?

What? And miss this opportunity

to spend time with my favourite nephew.

He's asleep.

I was thinking of waking him up.

Okay, fine.

But if he wakes upon his own,

then maybe we can play some more.

Fortunately for you, he still
wakes up several times a night.

[SIGHS] I can only hope.

Have fun.

Henry...

Oh.

I believe this letter belongs to you.

Henry, when I first came to
this town six years ago,

everyone blamed you for
the mining accident.

So they should.

But no one has ever known that
you tried to do the right thing.

Well, I tried and it didn't save

a single one of those men's lives.

It's not your fault.

I didn't do enough, Elizabeth.

It is not your fault.

Henry... you are not the
man people think you are.

I'm sure you mean that as a compliment.

I do.

I think it's time you
stopped living in the past.

It's time to move on from
that terrible tragedy.

I don't know how.

I understand that.

I really do.

Are you coming to the dance?

No, I don't think so.

Please stop by. It will be festive.

Yeah, maybe I will.

[GIGGLING]

So, where's Jesse?

I'm not sure.

He said he'd meet me here.
