09x08 - Hope Valley Days (2)

[bunniefuu]

Previously on When Calls the Heart...

BILL: I think we all have
reason to be concerned

about the possibility
of the mines reopening.

I need you to trust me on this.

I just hope you haven't
overplayed our hand.

If it be your will for
us to buy into this café,

then we'll do our best
to honor you here, Lord.

It's the folks at the
bank that I worry about.

They wouldn't give us the loan.

I'm a fugitive of sorts.

I believe my wife's in Hope Valley

and I'd like her arrested.

We all still have so much to celebrate.

While I officially declare
these to be Hope Valley Days.

Hope Valley Days.

The inspiration of our very
own mayor, Mike Hickam.

On that first rainy day
he talked with pride

as he pointed to each
of the four corners

at the center of town,

which he said would represent
the best qualities in all of us.

The spirit of giving,

of hope, fun, and above all, love.

As we listened, we were inspired, too.

Now, as we enter the second
week of Hope Valley Days

with other celebrations still ahead,

the festivities continue,
bringing us closer together,

grateful for where we live,
and thankful for one another,

since there is nothing more uplifting

than sharing joy and laughter together.

Constable.

Should I assume you'll be leaving?

Hmm, without getting
ahead of myself, or Mei,

since we haven't talked,
I might just stay here.

I'll be approaching the
Yosts about the job Mei took

under false pretense
while using my name.

Hey, we might even manage
the pharmacy together.

I trust remaining in Hope Valley
wouldn't be a problem for you?

Have a nice day, Mr. Lewis.

Ned, there he is.

Who is that, Florence?

You know, that man Bill and
Nathan told us to watch out for.

Really? Where?

There. He's at the pharmacy.

Right, right, right.

Look away in case he looks at us.

What should we say if he comes in here?

Do you mind my asking who
it is you're talking about?

Uh, Geoffrey Lewis.

The man claiming to be Mei's husband.

Lucas.

Hi.

- I just heard that Mei Tsu...
- Is married, possibly?

And you didn't say anything to me?

I thought Nathan told me in confidence.

- Good morning.
- Morning.

- Hello.
- Hi.

Honestly, I don't know what's
what when it comes to Mei Tsu.

And I wouldn't tell you, even if I did.

- Is that so?
- That's so.

Then I suppose I'll be going.

Hmm.

Imagine the kiss you might
have gotten had you told me.

Well, I hope you will
come for dinner tonight

and another night of Hanukah.

Jack and I wouldn't miss it.

Great.

Oh, what the heck.

Bye.

Hi.

How are ya?

Uh, I posted a Thanksgiving
list at the school,

with ways of helping families in need.

When you come by to pick up Allie,

if you want to sign up.

I'll be sure to do that.

Nathan...

Lucas told you about Geoffrey and Mei.

Nope.

At least not until I'd heard about it

from someone else first.

Listen, I don't like
being the talk of the town.

People care about you, Nathan.

And it seems as though
you care about Mei.

Even if only as a friend.

You don't have to worry about me.

[THEME MUSIC PLAYS]

♪

Who is he?

If he's not your husband, who is he?

I apprenticed at Geoffrey's
pharmacy while I was in school,

and everything was fine.

Then after graduation
he offered me a job.

But it wasn't long
before Geoffrey wanted

more than just a friendship.

When I refused,

eventually he began telling
people that he proposed.

And later that we
eloped and got married.

When Geoffrey learned I
was looking for another job

things only got worse.

So, you were never engaged?

I never had feelings for him.

I'm sorry I was so secretive
when I came to town.

And I should never have let
things get so out of hand.

But what about this marriage
license that Bill uncovered?

As soon as I discovered
Geoffrey filed a forged document,

that's when I left.

And you headed here.

I intercepted a letter.

Faith recommended Geoffrey for this job.

I wrote Ned as Geoffrey,

and when Ned offered this position

I rode to Hope Valley fast as I could.

I don't know how Geoffrey found me.

You believe me, don't you?

Yes.

Yeah.

Unfortunately, it's...

it doesn't matter whether
or not I believe you.

We need proof against Geoffrey.

Now, did you all remember
to tell your parents

about our Thanksgiving dinner
we'll be having in town?

ALL: Yes.

Very good, thank you.

The other day I asked
you all to think about

the meaning of Thanks Giving.

Not to be confused with Thanksgiving.

- But instead...
- [CLASS CLAMORING] I know! I know! Me!

Oh! How wonderful.

Angela.

To me, it means giving out of thanks,

and not just giving thanks.

Very good.

So, then another way of
celebrating Thanksgiving

is by thankful giving.

How then might we be able
to celebrate that year round?

Anyone?

[CLASS CLAMORING]

... Thank you very much.

[TAPPING]

Oh, Michael, I see you uh,
bought a fire pumper, huh?

From the town's discretionary fund.

Yeah, of course, I
wasn't implying anything.

You've taken issue with
everything I've done as mayor,

and then you put it in
the paper for all to see.

Michael, just give me a minute. I...

Maybe later, Romeo.

"Romeo, Romeo, wherefore
art thou, Romeo."

- You ruined your surprise.
- Sorry.

Well, Ta-dah!

Typing tutorials included.

- [DING]
- Oh.

It's a real beaut, hon. Thanks.

Lee. What's wrong?

I don't know.

I guess... I guess I didn't
realize how much mightier

the pen was than the sword

when I wrote those
editorials about Michael.

When it comes to the newspaper

it's not as easy to do
that in black and white.

- Yes.
- I know.

We have been trying to
give the Valley Voice...

a striking identity.

But I think I underestimated the
impact the newspaper would have.

Hmm.

This is a real responsibility.

It really is. I had no idea.

I wouldn't give it up, though.

Would you?

No. No, not at all. Of course not.

I might, however,

have played my part just
a little bit differently.

But nothing compares to being with you.

"My bounty is as boundless as the sea,

My love as deep.

The more I give to
thee, The more I have,

for both are infinite."

Now, "I will kiss thy lips."

Mmm-hmm.

"Happly, some poison
yet doth hang on them

to make me die with a restorative."

Mmm-hmm. Ok, you go do that.

I'm gonna get started on this editorial.

"Parting is such sweet sorrow."

Oh...

[SIGHS] Ok.

Mom, did you find the
note you posted about books

and other school supplies you need?

Not yet, sweetheart.

Excuse me. Hello there.

My sisters are shy.

I can be shy, too. My name is Lucas.

I'm Brynley. This is Maylee and Kayson.

- Hi. Hello.
- Hello.

- Mary Albers.
- Hi.

I happen to know somebody

who might be able to
give you some assistance.

She's the local school
teacher here in town.

My mom's a school teacher.

Really? That's wonderful.

Would you like to speak with her?

Yes, please. We'll wait here.

You're more than welcome to
wait in the Queen of Hearts.

- All right, why not?
- Great. Right this way.

Is there a way of verifying that?

Yeah, I'll call back later,
see if you turn anything up.

I don't wanna interrupt.

Oh, you're way past interrupting.

I would like to have Mei arrested.

On what charges?

The same charges that brought
me all the way up here.

And all those charges were false.

Will you do as I ask or should
I make a few phone calls?

Failure to do your job would be
considered dereliction of duty.

Ok, Mr. Lewis.

But you better not be
here when I get back.

I think it's terrific.

It's not April Fool's now.

No, no, I couldn't be more thrilled.

- Here you go, you two.
- Ah, thank you.

Bill, we had no idea
this would happen so fast.

But if you're open to it,

I'd like to make a few
changes around here.

Nothing big, not at first, anyway.

I have seen your handiwork, my friend,

so you just knock yourself out.

So, to the café.

BOTH: The café.

[COUGHING]

Mmm.

[COUGHS]

Cider went down the wrong pipe?

I think so. [COUGHING]

- Will you excuse me?
- Mmm-hmm.

[COUGHING]

[COUGHING]

Why are you two giving me that look?

I came here, didn't I?

You should have gone to Union City.

Let me speak with Mei about
either a nebulizer or epinephrine.

They're in the saloon eating lunch

but they may be going home soon.

Lucas, I can't just leave my class.

You won't be long. I'll watch them.

All right, thank you.

Uh, everyone, Mr. Bouchard will
be minding you while I'm gone.

Good luck.

Ah, Mei, I need to speak with...

Nathan, what's going on?

I'm taking Mei into custody.

Geoffrey found me.

He's filed charges to have me arrested.

That is ridiculous!

Nathan, you can't let this happen!

I don't have a choice, Faith.

If you need to speak to Mei,
you can come by the jail.

Your daughters are lovely.

Thank you. You have children?

Mmm-hmm. A little boy, Jack. He's three.

- They grow so fast.
- So fast!

- Thank you for offering to help.
- Oh, it's my pleasure.

We live too far away
from town to make it here

with any regularity for materials.

We were hoping that's
something you could help with.

I had the same problem

when I came to Hope Valley to take over.

Oh, Mary has done such a wonderful job

starting her own school.

So far it feels more like
a collective home school,

but I'll take the compliment, thank you.

Finding books for rudimentary
subjects is one thing but-

Finding books for upper level students?

It's nearly impossible.
You run into the same issue.

It can be quite the
challenge, but there is a way

and I think I might be able to help you

by sharing some of the tricks
I've picked up along the way.

That would be wonderful.

Great!

Well, then I'll get to work figuring out

how to get you the materials you need.

I have a lot to learn from you.

I can say for sure,

just from the short time
we've spent together,

that you are well ahead of where I was.

Bill?

I was just resting my eyes.

[WINCES IN PAIN]

Bill, that bruise wasn't
there the other day

when Faith examined you.

I might have cracked a rib.

How would that have happened?

I had a disagreement with someone

who barged into my office.

He had the drop on me.

April Fool's, Bill.

Well, this may be more
serious than we thought.

When's Faith due back, anyway?

I don't know,

but you are not going anywhere
until she takes a look.

[SIGHS]

[TYPEWRITER CLACKING]

Geoffrey must have put it together

from the message I left
him after you first arrived.

I am so sorry, Mei.

Don't be.

Of all people, I should have
told you what was happening.

I just didn't want to get you involved.

[SIGHS]

Well, I should get
back and check on Bill.

I'll visit soon.

Ok.

I knew it.

You knew what?

The first time I came to see you.

I said jail seemed depressing.

Well, you're better off here.

Hey, can I ask you, how did
you put up with this guy?

At one time I think I
felt sorry for Geoffrey.

He always wanted to be a
doctor. Like his father.

But, when it became clear
that wouldn't happen,

he grew bitter.

That's no excuse for what he's done.

No.

All I'm saying is there is a
time when he was very different.

How is it that we think we know someone

only to find out we don't?

For me, it begins with
understanding who I am

and being honest with myself and others.

Uh... what've you been working on?

I'm writing a telegram to Chicago

requesting more information.

It's a long sh*t, but
I'm hoping it pays off.

Thank you, Nathan.

Do you know the price of
sugar has gone up again?

Joseph?

Minnie.

What do you have in there?

Just a little visitor I found upstairs.

Well, whatever it is, take it outside.

It must have gotten in the open window.

- Yeah, have a look.
- Joseph!

You'll like him.

I'm serious now.

It's just a fuzzy little squirrel.

- Oh, very nice.
- [LAUGHS]

Goodbye, Mr. Fuzzy.

You know, you were right.

We can rent out those rooms
upstairs, make some income.

Maybe Mr. Fuzzy would be interested.

Joseph, take Mr. Fuzzy
out of my kitchen.

Goodbye.

If the dog is the
subject of the sentence,

what is the predicate?

- Barked.
- Coop-a-loop!

Yes!

Now, with a little more difficulty,

the dog barked loudly.

Loudly. That's an adverb.

Yes. Next time wait for the ball.

Sorry. I was so excited to answer.

That's good.

What happened to the predicate?

It's still there.

Do you care to remind us where, Emily?

A predicate is the part of
the sentence containing a verb.

Yes. Angela, can you add to that?

Not without the ball.

Excellent point. Here you are.

The predicate always says
something about the subject.

Indeed, it does.

The dog says something. Bark.

Yes! Opal, very good!

Wait, I didn't throw the ball yet.

I'm afraid I got too excited.

Here. Right here, Angela. I'm over here.

Hey! Way to go!

[CLASS APPLAUDS]

Mrs. Thornton, welcome back.

Mr. Bouchard.

You and the children seem
to have worked yourselves

into quite the state.

We like Mr. Bouchard's teaching.

- He's fun.
- And funny.

Oh.

Shall we invite him back sometime?

CLASS: Yeah!

Watch this.

Impressive.

Doesn't anyone knock around here?

Well, I shouldn't be surprised

you're encouraging Bill to leave.

I didn't have anything to do with this.

How long was I supposed to wait?

You Mounties are the
most mulish patients.

- How are you feeling?
- I'm fine.

I think she means me.

If you start coughing take a
spoonful of this once an hour

only as necessary.

Any other symptoms, you call me.

And come back in a day or so.

I wanna check on that bruised rib.

Mmm-hmm.

I think you're right.

This telegram's a long sh*t, but
hopefully we'll hear something

before Lewis calls accusing us
of wasting time and stalling,

which, of course, we are.

Bill, I'm serious.

No, no, I know.

Cough syrup once a
day only if necessary,

call if needed, come
back in a day or so.

I got it. I got it. I got it.

You know, it really
could be a cracked rib.

And while it's good
his bleeding stopped,

I can't make a diagnosis
without an x-ray.

Let alone the way you two are behaving.

I'll keep an eye on him.

And whenever possible we should stand up

for what we know is right.

Whatever would make your parents proud.

And if you can, maybe do what's
called a mitzvah, a good deed.

Thank you, Robert.

Allie, would you like to light
the last candle on the menorah?

And remember, Hanukah is
about hope and miracles.

And miracles do happen.

Sometimes on their own,

but sometimes we need
to help make them happen.

Thank you, Allie.

There you go.

[SIGHS] You know, this

I said I would teach you.

Just keep proofing.

We need to get this to Norman
in time for him to set his type.

If he can even read this.

Hey.

It's just because you left
it until the last minute.

Had you started your editorial sooner,

well, we wouldn't be rushing.

What can I say? Old habits die hard.

- I was always late with my homework, too.
- [KNOCKING] Trick or Treat!

Oh, Lee. Come and see.

CHILDREN: Trick or treat!

Well, now who do we have here?

We have a pirate, a
ghost, and another ghost.

Hmm.

Ghosts seem to be very
popular, don't they?

So, they seem to be.

Well, "My bounty is as
boundless as the sea,

my love as deep, the
more I give to thee."

I think she means help
yourself, kids. Go ahead.

How art thee, me pirate?

Arrr!

So, Juliet's a pirate, now?

- Yes.
- Oh, ok. Great.

- CHILDREN: Thank you!
- You're very welcome.

- Bye!
- Bye, guys. Be careful.

Awe.

Oh, those little ones are so precious.

I would have loved
to have had a picture.

My last page.

Well, Arthur Brisbane.

Yeah, you've mentioned that name before.

- Who's Arthur Brisbane?
- Where is our camera, Lee?

The camera? The camera is at home.

Arthur Brisbane. Who's Arthur Brisbane?

He's a brilliant newspaper publisher.

I told you about him.

He said "use a picture,
it's worth a thousand words."

I really need to finish proofing.

I'll explain later.

Ok. I'll be back in a
minute, sweetheart, um...

Hey, Michael, I uh, I just
finished that piece about you

and I want you to know that it had
nothing to do with us being friends.

Are we?

Friends, I mean.

Well, I... aren't we?

You watching out for Geoffrey?

Yeah. Have you seen him?

Actually, I was curious
so I knocked on his door

but no one was home.

Listen, I just um...

I just wanna say how much I
appreciate what you said earlier.

About Mei.

- Hi, you two.
- Hi.

I just left Jack with Allie.
She's so good with him.

Now she asks when I might get married.

I'm sure she just wants you to be happy.

No, what she wants is a
little brother or sister.

Well, you never know.

No, you never know.

But what I do know is that
love is the greatest gift

since it can't be
forced only free to give.

Nathan, that's lovely.

Yeah.

That's what I thought
too when I read it.

Good night.

- It is lovely.
- Mmm-hmm.

I'm not kidding.

My ex-wife followed me
here to Hope Valley, too.

She showed up out of the blue one day

just like this Geoffrey guy.

She wanted to get back together, too.

Oh.

What're you doing here?

I had a little cough syrup

and I thought I should
lay down for a bit.

Bill's been very talkative.

Well, that's 'cause
you're so easy to talk to.

[GROANS]

Ok, why don't we lie back down?

[GROANS]

Where's my cough syrup?

I hope I didn't drink
it all. I really like it.

[PHONE RINGING]

I'll get that.

Goody!

Hope Valley Station.

- Chief Inspector Hargraves.
- Don't tell him I'm in jail!

No. No, but I'm happy to take
a message for Inspector Avery.

Shh!

Yes, I've spoken with
the woman in custody.

Yeah, the... the charges are
serious, but if I may I...

Yes. Yes, it's a problem for the
law enforcement back in Chicago.

Yes sir, with haste.

Hargraves just received
a call from the mayor.

I'm assuming you don't mean Hickam.

- No.
- Hmm.

William H. Thompson.

The newly re-elected mayor of Chicago.

I told you the Lewis family is
very powerful and well-connected.

We've been ordered to arrange
your transport to Chicago

or Bill and I will face
disciplinary action.

You're earlier than expected.

Oh, Elizabeth. You're early, too.

Yes, well I know there's
still a lot left to prepare

for Thanksgiving dinner

and I wanted to see Anna's reaction.

My reaction?

You've made such a
difference here already,

even just by offering
to help make the desserts

for tonight's Thanksgiving
dinner at the saloon.

It's my pleasure.

I'm glad.

Because Mr. Canfield
and I and Mrs. Thornton

have been remarking how
we're gonna miss you.

I wish I could stay.

We know.

And that's why we spoke with
your mother and she agreed.

If you'd like to stay, you may.

How?

By working here at the café
while renting a room upstairs.

Are you serious?

I have a few more things to finish,

but you can have your
pick of the rooms upstairs.

Oh my gosh, Mrs. Canfield.

Thank you.

You are so welcome, Anna.

And, if after working her for a while

you still wanna go to college...

You know that's my dream

and I'll work as hard
as I can to afford it.

Oh, Mrs. Thornton, I knew
you'd find a way to help me.

[LAUGHING]

Romeo.

Lee!

Hmm?

Right. Romeo. Yeah, the costume.

Sweetheart, in or out of costume,

I will always be your Romeo.

[GIGGLES] "What's in a name?

"That which we call a rose By any
other name would smell as sweet."

Well, what I was actually going
to say is I really hope people

turn out tonight to finish Hope
Valley Days off in a grand way.

Oh, I think they will.

I think people are looking forward
to Elizabeth's Thanksgiving dinner.

Mmm-hmm.

Your editorial about Mike
Hickam is very strong.

Well, thank you, sweetheart.

I know you didn't believe in
Hickam, at least not at first.

- You said he didn't have a plan.
- He didn't.

That he lacked vision for
Hope Valley and it's future...

He did.

- But if you ask me...
- And I did not.

I would say he has turned out to
be the unqualified best choice.

The right mayor for the right time.

After all, who else would
have thought of putting

on a celebration at a time
like this, let alone four

or, well, I suppose five if you
count Bill Avery's April Fool's.

I completely agree.

And thank you, sweetheart,

for gently nudging me in that direction.

I feel like I can
contribute from the paper

and from the town council, as well.

And who knows? Maybe
you'll run for office again.

Oh, no, no. I think once was enough.

I feel like I belong
right here in this office.

Well, I'll vote for that.

Hmm.

Hope Valley Hope.

I have to admit, you
do seem a lot better.

Well, they don't make
them like me anymore.

Thanks for your concern, Faith.

Faith, would you accompany
me to church service?

That sounds nice.

Bill, will we see you there?

Oh, I don't think so.
I've gotta get some rest.

- All right.
- Doctor's orders.

Oh, hey, I'm sorry you
didn't get to surprise us

with at least one April Fool's joke.

Yeah, you never know. I
may have fooled you all.

She asked you to build
shelves and cupboards?

Oh, yes. Elizabeth
drew up detailed plans.

She thought this through.

Well, if someone can't
come to the library

I guess she'll bring
the library to them.

Well, she'd have me make more than
a book wagon out of this if I could.

Thanks, Joseph.

She's always determined to help people.

You know, I admire what she wants to do,

and the lengths she'll go
trying to make it happen.

Thanks again.

You got it.

You sent for me?

Yeah. I'm releasing Miss Tsu.

But not to go with you.

See, word came back from Chicago

that the marriage license
for you and Mei is fraudulent.

You can't prove that.

- Well, it may take some time.
- Mei.

But what I can prove

is that your other marriage
license is authentic.

You'll be happy to know I
found your wife, Mr. Lewis,

in Evanston where you abandoned her.

Geoffrey, just go. Please go.

Mei, please.

All I've ever wanted to be was with you.

I can't help you. I'm sorry, Geoffrey.

I don't love you.

So, I suppose you're staying now?

Thank you, Nathan.

As I finish, I'd like
to thank Mayor Mike

for suggesting Hope Valley Days.

Here, here.

[APPLAUSE]

Worried about our town feeling
the effects of trying times.

He thought what better
reason to celebrate

than by coming together and
he turned out to be right.

Now, as we roll into the actual holidays

I want to encourage us all

to try holding fast to
the spirit of last week.

The spirit of giving.

Of hope.

Of fun.

And most important, love.

Remember, we're made in the image of God

and meant to display his character.

The way we treat one another
calls attention to that.

Don't look to see
yourself in one another.

Instead, look to see
someone God uniquely created

to be themselves.

Now, if you all head on over

to the Queen of Hearts for dinner...

Let's eat!

[LAUGHING]

- Well done.
- Thank you, mayor.

- For the record...
- Yes.

[LAUGHS]

- Am I too heavy, buddy?
- No, you're just fine.

- That was such a lovely service.
- I thought so, too.

Oh, thank you for offering the saloon

for tonight's Thanksgiving dinner.

You're right, we do have a lot to give.

But I think I'm about to give out

because maybe you are
getting a little heavy.

Lucas, what is that?

- Merry Christmas!
- Merry Christmas, buddy.

Wow, look at that tree.

Yes, Merry Christmas, but not yet.

Because then it would be your birthday

and I'm not quite ready.

Oh, it's absolutely stunning.

All we're missing is some snow.

Lucas, did you do this?

How could I have? I've been with you.

Oh?

Well, then it must have been Mike!

Oh, I wish I could take credit.

This seems like something
Rosemary and Lee might have done.

- No.
- No, no, it wasn't us.

Although this would have
made for great publicity

- for the newspaper. Hmm.
- Yeah.

So nobody knows who did this?

The Canfields.

- Oh yeah, it's gotta be.
- Of course.

ELIZABETH: Thank you, Canfield family.

- Oh, not for this.
- Oh, no, it wasn't us.

Well, then who did it?

[CROWD MURMURS]

- I don't know.
- I guess it's...

April Fool's.

LEE: Okay, you two. Now get ready.

Hold it. Perfect!

Oh!

[LAUGHS]

You're gonna love that
picture. Ok, who's next?

Oh, come on.

You can't tell me nobody wants
to get their photograph taken.

Well, step right up, have
your photograph taken,

give you and your families
this wonderful gift

to remember this joyous
festival for years to come.

Who's next?

All right, all right, come this way.

All right.

- Lee.
- Yeah.

I read your editorial.

I really appreciate
what you said, thank you.

I meant every word I said.

Lee did mean every word he wrote.

And not just about Mike.

Lee wrote about every one of us, warning

with so much mistrust these days

it's easy to become bitter and cold,

all before actual winter arrives.

[CLAPPING]

Say "prunes"!

Prunes!

Come on. Come on!

Okay, okay. Should we?

- Ready?
- Yeah.

BOTH: Turn around?

But along with the other
holidays being celebrated

during Hope Valley Days,

it seems that Christmas
has arrived early

and Santa Claus is none
other than Mayor Mike Hickam.

And what a happier world this might be

with more like the mayor.

LEE: Smile!

- Here we go.
- Say "prunes".

- Prunes!
- Prunes.

Your honor, would you do the honors?

- Ok.
- Thank you.

... your vest.

- Don't fidget.
- I'm not fidgeting.

People who set aside the
tangible things in life

for those that are surely
of greater value...

Those things that make
us smile and laugh

and shout with excitement.

That fill us with joy and wonder.

Giving us comfort and peace,

or just reassurance
that we're not alone.

I clipped Lee's latest piece

and saved it to read from time to time

to help me recall that special week

we joined hands and celebrated
one another, together.

- Say "prunes".
- Prunes!

[SHUTTER SNAPS]

Wyman Walden is back.

Next Sunday, on an all-new
When Calls the Heart...

Is there something that you want?

The Queen of Hearts Saloon.

To catch a crook...

So what do we do?

We let Walden buy the Queen of Hearts.

... you need to set a trap.

- You think this plan will work?
- It's gotta work!

There's just so much at stake here...

It's kind of like a... a mystery novel.

Were you followed?

When Calls the Heart is
all-new, next Sunday night at ,

only on Hallmark, where love happens.
