Previously, on
"When Calls the Heart"...

I wrote this as a love letter
to my son

and to everyone else
in this town

who's been a source of strength
and comfort.

How's the new pharmacist
working out?

Nathan: He won't come near me.

I think this accident
has affected me

more than I'm willing
to admit it has.

- Judge Avery.
- Hello again.

Is there something you want?

As you're aware, I represent the
concern that's building the foundry.

Bill: Then you know this walden
is crooked.

You're the mayor.
You should act like it.

You strike me as someone
who knows

when they might need a partner.

Good morning, Mei.

Rosemary, when do you and Lee
publish the next edition?

The day after tomorrow.

It's still only twice a week

but we're working to be right
up there with 'the herald'.

Only better.

[laughs]

[Horn honking]

Iucas, you got a minute?

Off to the side, I suppose.

Work's happening down there
at the foundry.

You been out that way?

I've had my hands full,
actually.

Anything in particular?

Little bit of this,
little bit of that.

I read Elizabeth's book.

Tell me, what do you think
of Mr. Gaines?

Well, if her intention
was to base him on me

I'm afraid I fall short
of the character.

Oh, come on, Henry.

You should know Elizabeth
thinks very highly of you.

A lot of people here do.

Be that as it may,

reading the book gave me
a moment of clarity

and, I believe, that I will be
staying with the company

if Smith and his investors
decide to accept the offer.

Oh, I don't see why
they wouldn't now.

Alright.

Say, you know where I might
find Fiona?

I do not.

[Phone ringing]

Good morning, Rosemary.

Hello Florence, it's Elizabeth.
I'm calling from next door.

I was just wondering

if you might be able to spare
Robert today?

Today?

Yes. I just found out
that Laura is sick

and I have no one to watch
little Jack.

Oh, I wish I could help
but Robert's sick, too.

I heard there's an unpleasant
summer cold going around.

Yes, yes, I know.
Well, thank you.

[Clanking]

No, no, no! Jack,
don't touch that!

[little Jack giggling]

Little Jack: ...Do it again!

Now, postage rates are going
down the first of July.

So, it'll be two cents
to mail a letter

and still a penny a postcard.

Who says progress has its price?

Elizabeth doesn't have anyone
to watch Jack.

I was thinking I might offer.

Hmm. Without Robert?

One of us will be needed over
at the pharmacy.

Oh, you're probably right.

- Hello, Lucas.
- Hi.

Alright.

You rang?

No, but uh, it is very nice
to see you.

Right.

You rang Florence who told me
you need someone to watch Jack.

Yes. Do you have anyone in mind?

Me.

Ok, a change of clothes, toys...

Me!

Oh!

Really?

I just assumed you'd have
business to attend to.

Nothing urgent.

Are you sure?

You're in a bind.

And Jack and I are gonna have
so much fun.

- Right, buddy?
- Right, buddy.

[laughing]

Well, if you're sure.

I am.

Have a great day.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you.

Oh, oh, oh.

- No ice cream.
- No ice cream?

At least not for today.

It's starting to become
all he wants to eat.

No ice cream.

Ice cream?

Little pitchers
do have big ears.

Hey buddy, why don't
we play safari?

What sound does
a lion make?

Roar.

Roar!

[laughing]

Theme music plays...

[♪]

[♪]

[Knocking]

Come in.

Olly olly oxen free.

I don't think that's
how jail works.

I've never seen the inside
of a jail before.

It's kinda depressing.

That's how jail works.

Makes you think twice about
doing something to wind up here.

So, then why are you here?

I thought I would work
with Newton

before opening the pharmacy.

Care to join me?

The other day you wanted to work
with Newton alone.

What's changed?

I realized I can hit two birds
with one stone

by teaching you and newt.

Sounds good.

Alright then.

You're just asking
because I approved

pithy print pushes papers.

Oh Lee, stop being so clever.

I'm asking because your first
newspaper piece was quite good.

Hmm.

And because I am
the editor in chief

and I hand out the assignments.

Fine.

But am I ever gonna get to-
to write about something else?

Well, of course, but right now
our new mayor is news.

People wanna know what he has
planned for hope valley.

Fine, I'll do it.

Sweetheart?

Be honest with me.

Do you really think I would have
made a good mayor?

Lee coulter, when have I ever
not been honest with you?

You're my wife.
It's hard to be objective.

Perhaps, but just because
I think

you hung the moon and stars

doesn't mean I wouldn't tell
you the truth.

- Even if it hurt?
- Even if it hurt.

I might just give you a kiss
to make it feel better.

Fine.

This is such a lovely office,
bill.

It seems a shame
to cut it in half.

Well, his honor hickam
needs an office.

I'm just not ready to give up
the entire space.

And what is it you're so busy
doing over here, anyway?

Forensics?

Well, I confiscated
Wyman walden's gun

when he arrived in town.

Really? And why is that?

Just curious as to whether
it's been fired lately.

That sort of thing.

Really?

And why is that?

Molly?

You said you've been interested
in interior design?

[Sighs]

Hold this.

-Well, I'm-
-please?

How's it going?

When Lee asked me to join
his company?

I don't know, I hoped somehow
it'd be more fun.

Isn't that why it's called work?

It's bookkeeping and invoicing.

And with Lee writing
at the newspaper

I've had to take care of things
I didn't expect.

I've been considering asking
for a raise

or maybe even him selling me
a part of the business.

Wouldn't that mean
even more work?

Well, at least I'd be working
for myself.

I understand.

With Clara gone I've been
wondering the same thing

about me and this cafe.

You were right when you said
what's important

is that we're here now.

You can't change the past.

Let's just focus on building
our future.

There was a crooked man
who went a crooked mile.

He found a crooked sixpence
by a crooked stile.

What did he buy?

Well, that looks like fun.

We're out for some fresh air.

I'll be down at the Wells.

You let me know if you hear
anything, yeah?

Of course.

Alright.

See you, little Jack.

A cat. That's it.

He bought a crooked cat
which caught a crooked mouse

and they all lived together
in a crooked little house.

[little Jack laughs]

Should we go one more time?

Yeah.

[Making engine noises]

I'm excited about having
a phone.

Faith, let's try the desk there.

We've tried it there.

We did?

Let's try it again.

Alright.

So, uh, were you able
to help bill?

I'm afraid not.

His office just isn't big enough
to make into two.

There.

What do we think?

That I'm sorry you went
to help bill.

I don't like the desk here,
either.

Oh, Molly-

I'm sorry. Here we go.

I don't think I've found
my true passion yet.

Not like you or Elizabeth have.

What do you think
about forensics?

Well, I think until we get
this office in shape

you should stick
with interior design.

Ah.

Mei: Good job, Newton.

Good job.

Alright, let's go, yeah.
Come on.

What do you think?

That's incredible.

Yeah, he's doing even better
than I expected.

Thank you.

Again.

Considering the bond
you two have,

I can't imagine what this
horse means to you, Nathan.

You know, when I...

I couldn't help him and I
thought that bond was lost...

Like I said, thank you.

We all have limitations.

I think what's important
is learning to accept them,

and to rely on someone we trust
when we fall short.

Hey there, newt.

Everything's gonna be ok,
alright?

Right?

I'll bring him back
to the stable,

but we should plan
for another session.

And something else we see when
we're looking up at the clouds-

Mrs. Thornton, isn't that
Mr. Bouchard with little Jack?

[little Jack giggling]

...Right up there.

What happened to Laura?

She wasn't feeling well

so Mr. Bouchard is looking
after Jack today.

Are you getting married?

[Children clamoring]

Oh! Uh... Um...

Why don't you all gather
your things and head inside?

I'd like to use the chalkboard.

Mrs. Thornton, nice to see you.

Mr. Landis, expecting
another storm?

I'm here on my usual
district visit.

I have news to report.

I recently made a trip
to Hamilton where I tested

and received my certification
to teach Angela.

Well, Mrs. Thornton,
I am so very sorry.

We can't recognize accreditation
from outside the district.

I'm afraid your certification
is worthless.

Well now, look at you
two fine gentlemen

out for a stroll and a roll.

- Are we having fun?
- One of us is.

I'm not so sure
about the other.

Oh. Missing his mama?

- Just getting a little fussy.
- Oh. Time for a nap?

I'm ready for one.
This is hard work.

But uh, no, Jack had
his earlier.

Oh?

Do you have any idea
what it could be?

Well, his eyes are clear and
he doesn't have a runny nose.

He doesn't feel feverish.

Perhaps it's his three-year-old
molars coming in.

Your guess is as good as mine.

When in doubt,
ice cream.

No ice-yay eam-cray today.

Pig Latin, otherwise Mr. Jack
knows what we're talking about.

Oh, yes. Of course.
Jack is very smart.

Well then, ucas-lay, hy-not-way

op-stay and-ay ask-ay aith-fay
ether-way e-shay inks-thay

it ight-may e-bay
ack Jay's olars-may.

I actually speak very little
pig Latin

and I understand even less.

[laughs]

For goodness sake,
go and see faith.

Yes, that is a good idea.

Bye-bye, Jack.

Bye-bye.

Thank you for meeting
with me, and um,

what can I say?
Congratulations.

You too.

Uh, thank you.

Right.

So, what would you say is your
first order of business

as the new mayor of hope valley?

Uh, how to explain?

Well, uh, as you know,

I ran on the platform calling
for fire safety.

Mmm, I remember.

And your platform was-

progress.

Uh, encouraging people to step
boldly into a brighter tomorrow.

That's right.

And bill Avery's-

was about preservation.

Believing that people wanted

to maintain their current
way of life.

Those were darn good platforms.

Well, they certainly were.
Just excellent.

Ok.

Elizabeth: Your next word
is "gravity".

The force that pulls things
to the earth is gravity.

Um, my pencil-

[gasps]

[Class laughs]

Focus on your work, please.

Yes, Cooper?

My pencil broke.

Oh.

Here you go.

I don't like him.

Who?

Him.

Mr. Landis?

Yes, ma'am.

Well, we can discuss that later.

But for now why don't you
head back to your seat?

Faith: Alright, you wait right
here. Good boy.

Uh, Molly, would you step in?

Of course.

How is he?
What do you think?

Permanent first molars
don't typically come in earlier

than five years but his gums
are a tiny bit inflamed.

Ok.

I can write a prescription.

I would wanna check
with Elizabeth.

Of course.

You could always try ice.

He's not allowed.

He's not allowed
to have ice?

Ice?

Uh, yes. We could try ice.

Alright, well come on back
if that doesn't do the trick.

You know, things look much
different here

since last time I saw it.

You-you have a telephone.

Uh-huh.

Yeah. Um...

- Lucas.
- Uh-huh?

Children go through all kinds
of different growing pains.

Some of them big,
most of them little.

Yeah.

Relax.

You are doing a wonderful job
with little Jack.

Do you think so?

I know so.

Thank you.

Molly: Ok. Well done.

Oh, step on in.

Lucas: Hey buddy. You did great.

You ready to go?
Let's go have some lunch.

Well, that was frustrating,
interviewing mayor hickam.

What's going on here?

Wyman walden's leaving town.

Oh. Well, that's good news.

He has to take his gun along.

Ah.

He's gonna be back.

The question is why.
What's this guy after?

Do you know where he's headed?

Brookfield.

Well, I'll check with
my confidential source
up there later.

You have a confidential source?

Yes, one in Benson hills,
one in brookfield,

two in union city and Jameson.

All good newspaper men and women
have their confidential sources.

I'll let you know
what I find out.

Ok.

[Exhales]

Your interview didn't go well?

Michael has no plan!

No vision for hope valley
or its future!

He said that?

Not in so many words.

What did he say?

Not so many words.

Well, it must be daunting
becoming mayor.

Sweetheart, I like Michael.

I like him very much,
you know that.

I... I just don't think
he's cut out for this job.

- In your opinion.
- In my opinion.

I should give him
another chance.

Thank you for reminding me.

Ned?

I need to send this back.

Didn't this just arrive?

The hat's too big.

Oh. Well, I'll make sure
to send it along.

I was just coming to see you.

I wanted to ask you to dinner.

To thank you for helping me
and Newton.

No need, Nathan.
It was my pleasure.

I insist.

I know you've been in town
a few weeks

so you haven't tried
all our restaurants yet.

No more than a dozen times
a piece.

Well, it's your choice.

How about the saloon? Tonight?

I'll see you there.

Uh, the latest
pharmacy invoices.

Oh, thank you, Mei.

Do not mention this to Florence.

Not a word, Nathan.

The children are busy
with their readers.

This would be a good time for
us to discuss my accreditation.

I'm afraid there isn't anything
that I can do.

Why are you being
so unreasonable?

Please don't take
this personally.

Believe me, I'm not
being punitive.

You have no jurisdiction here.

That won't be the case
with the influx-

I understand that things are
going to change

which is why I'm trying to work
with you!

Mr. Landis!

Until there are more students
this is still my school

under my authority.

Please leave.

[Students giggling]

- What?
- His hat is stuck.

[Students continue giggling]

Look at this, Mrs. Thornton.

You see what your students
have done?

Children?

[Students laughing]

Everyone.

Please!

Whoever's responsible
for this should be ashamed.

You should all be!

As you said, Mr. Landis,
these are my students.

Be assured I will handle
this matter.

[Slams door]

I completely lost my temper.

And it wasn't even
that long ago

I had Henry speak
to the children

about resolving their
disagreements peaceably.

Well, it is my opinion

that you have been more than
patient with this land is.

He has no jurisdiction until-

well, if and when you are
required to become part of

the valley school district.

And that is why I've been trying
to work with him just in case.

And now...

[sighs]

Have you heard anything about
when the foundry workers

and their families might
be arriving?

It could be any day now.

Are you sure it was Cooper
who glued down Mr. Landis's hat?

Did I see him do it? No.

[Sighs]

But Cooper has made it
perfectly clear

how much he dislikes land is.

After all, he thinks this is
all about his sister

when actually it's also about...

Well, I don't know what else
it's about.

But it isn't just certification.

I'll walk you back to town.

I saw Lucas and little Jack
earlier today.

How were they doing?

Lucas will make a wonderful
father.

Oh, don't give me that look.
You obviously feel the same way.

Yes.

But perhaps you could slow my
trip down the aisle just a bit?

[Humming wedding music]

Oh.

[Giggling]

Are you leaving for the day?

Yes, I am.

But please, come in.

I need your help.

You said that when you first
arrived in town

but it's been some time since-

what I tell you remains
in confidence, is that correct?

If I were your attorney-

you're hired.

Have a seat.

How can I help?

I'm a fugitive of sorts.

From my husband.

- Well, he's not...
- Husband?

It's confusing.

You may want to take notes.

[Lucas reading to
little Jack upstairs]

[little Jack giggling]

[Lucas continues to read
to little Jack]

[♪]

...It was that very morning,

when on his way to Nottingham

and passing through
Sherwood forest,

that Robin knelt before Richard
the lionheart and declared

"I would rather keep the law
and do good

"than live outside the law, for
you are my lord and my king."

The end.

- Goodnight, buddy.
- Goodnight, buddy.

How long were you listening?

Long enough to know that I feel
more for you than I realized.

And I don't know what
I would have done

if you hadn't offered to help.

You would have thought
of something.

Mmm.

Why don't I go get us dinner
from the saloon?

I'd offer to cook but I have to
admit that sounds pretty nice.

I'll be right back.

Bill: Henry.

Bill.

Where do you stand
with the oil company?

Well, I've agreed to stay if
the investors decide to buy in.

And what do you know
about Wyman walden?

Not much.

I'm staying clear of anything
that has to do with the foundry.

Why, you think that
they're connected?

No.

I just don't like some of
the things going on around here.

- Lucas.
- Good evening.

Little uh, late for a picnic,
isn't it?

Oh, no, I'm bringing
Elizabeth dinner.

- Ah.
- How nice.

Lucas.

Whatever it is, Wyman,
it'll have to wait.

This can't wait.

Well, after you.

You don't think Lucas

is becoming entangled
with walden, do you?

No, he's too smart for that.

Of course he's smart,

but he was behaving
awfully beholden.

I forgot this at the pharmacy.

Thanks for coming.

Happy to be here.

Lodex.

Topical muscle relaxant.

Faith agrees it could help
your shoulder.

I bet her that you'd be
scrapping your sling

any minute now.

You made me a winner.

You didn't say anything

but I noticed you trying
to loosen it up.

Mint.

Just rub it on.

Well, you're the doctor.
Or the... Pharmacist.

[Elizabeth sighs]

Jack is sound asleep.

I love you.

Lucas, darling?

- Oh...
- I'm sorry to wake you.

Have I been asleep long?

No. Not very long.

You two must have had
quite the big day.

[laughs]

It's very hard work being
a mother.

[laughs]

I suppose it's getting late.

I should go.

Are you sure you'll be able
to come back again tomorrow?

Yes, I am sure.

You still need someone,
and besides,

I think I'm going to take up
child sitting

as a way to earn extra money.

- Well, goodnight.
- Goodnight.

[Thud]

[Groans]

[Knocking]

Good morning.

Lucas! Your eye!
What-what happened?

I walked into a door.

I don't think so.
Let me see.

No, it's fine.
Really, it'll be fine.

Hi, buddy. How are you?

So, we're not even gonna
discuss this?

No, we're not, because you
need to go to school

and Jack and I, we need
to go sailing!

[Giggles]

Well, in dry dock, anyways.

Just like the one that
your father had.

That is a very thoughtful gift.

- Thank you.
- Mmmhmm.

Everything will be fine.
I can't even feel it.

Alright.

Then I am casting off.

Hey, maybe we could get some...

[whispers]
...Ice cream.

Later, all of us,
a special treat.

[Sighs]
Why not?

After all the help you've been
you deserve two scoops.

- Bye, sweetheart.
- Bye.

[Knocks]

Here you are.

You saved me a trip.
Thank you.

We also need some aperient
and creosote.

I'll bring those right over.

Mei, how are you?

Hi.

Is this a bad time, or...?

No, not at all.

It'll only take a moment
to get your blood pressure.

Henry gowen,
have you met Mei tsu?

A pleasure.

I think I saw you having dinner
with Nathan last night.

[Small laugh]

Henry, why don't you head
on in... What am I saying?

Let's go in together.
I'll take your BP.

Yesterday, as I think most
of you heard,

I lost my temper with
Mr. Landis.

I will be apologizing to him
the first chance I have.

But what happened to his hat,

what someone thought was funny,
is not.

Now, I haven't asked
who is responsible.

I was hoping that whoever it was
would come forward on their own.

[Sighs]
Yes, Cooper.

Mrs. Thornton, I... I did it.

[Children murmuring]

I want you to know

I'm proud of you for admitting
it was you.

Yes, ma'am.

But I'm not sorry.

And why is that?

Landis doesn't-

Mr. Landis.

Mr. Landis does nothing
but make trouble for everyone,

especially you and Angela.

I appreciate you wanting to help
your sister and Mrs. Thornton

and your classmates, but you
only made more trouble, Coop.

At least I did something.

That doesn't make it right.

Mr. Landis and I will do
our best to solve our problems,

but that isn't going to happen
until we respect one another.

I'd still do it all over again.

I'm sorry to hear you say that.

We'll talk about this more
at home.

Right now you need to know

that you'll need to replace
that man's hat.

What for?

Hush.

Now, you can earn money
working with me.

As for your punishment here
with Mrs. Thornton?

That's up to her.

You'll never understand.

Well, I'll never stop trying to.

And I'll always be here
if you wanna explain.

Thank you, Elizabeth.

I'm sorry if I made trouble
for you, Mrs. Thornton.

I'm sorry!

Gabe, I shouldn't need to hear
about an arrest

made in brookfield from someone
here in hope valley.

Keep me posted.

Well, your informant up
in brookfield was right.

The mounties arrested walden
but they couldn't hold him.

Couldn't hold him?

No one would press charges.

Folks up there are intimidated.
Apparently for good reason.

When walden left town one of
the merchants was found shot.

He's alive but unconscious.

Walden?

No one knows.

But the mounties think

he was running the same
property scheme.

Scam.

Call it what you will.

The same scheme, scam that
he ran on Jesse and Clara.

As far as they understand, yes.

Huh.

When walden returns

I'm gonna get his gun
and run a ballistics test.

[Car engines rattling]

There he is now.

Bill, we want the exclusive!

Out of the car, walden.
Into the street.

Hey, Henry, would you mind
watching little Jack?

Maybe bring him back inside?
I'll be right back.

- Sure.
- Thanks.

Do we have a problem?

Spurlock, the only problem is
that you still don't realize

that there's a problem.

I'll need your gun.

Under what authority are you
asking for his-

stay out of this.

Bill, I'm afraid I can't oblige.

I seem to have lost my gun.

Alright, hands up.

[Spurlock sighs]

I left mine outside town
on foundry property.

I'm only here to enjoy some
refreshments with Mr. Walden.

Now, I assume we can go
about our day?

Gentlemen.

If you intend on sending me
some kind of message

to try and intimidate me
I'm fine with that.

But I'm warning you both

not to go anywhere near
Mrs. Thornton or her son.

Lucas? Everything alright?

Everything's aces, constable.

Hello?

"Join us for ice cream in town."

[Phone rings]

Hello?

[Phone rings]

Hello?

Elizabeth? It's Florence,
of course.

Florence, I have a telephone.

Yes, Lucas had it installed.
I'm just testing the line.

Very good, then.

No, not very good, then.

Lucas, I don't want a telephone.

Alright.

I'll have nothing but endless,
unwanted interruptions.

I understand.

It happened when
Lee and Rosemary

installed their phone and-

I'll have it taken out.

I just...

You will?

Of course.

-I think what bothers me-
-I didn't ask.

It's your house, I understand.
I fully respect that.

Thank you.

Would you like some ice cream?

Yes, please.

Actually, why don't you wait on
having the telephone taken out?

Whatever you like.

- It could come in handy.
- Especially in an emergency.

- You're being awfully agreeable.
- It's the way I like to argue.

- Are we arguing?
- Well, that's up to you.

This is very delicious.

Isn't this ice cream so good?

So good!

[laughs]

Ice cream makes everything
better, even a disagreement.

- Right, buddy?
- Right, buddy.

[laughs]

[Door opens]

Oh, hickam. Come in.

Listen to this letter
from Clara.

"It turns out our goat
doesn't like Jesse.

"Today, when Jesse had
his back turned,

"mags charged him and ripped
the seat out of his pants."

[laughs]

Hickam, I've been thinking about
this office, my office.

I have, too.
That's why I'm here.

Molly stopped by,

tried to find a way to split
this place in two.

Oh, I hadn't considered.

But it's not gonna work out.

And seeing as I've been here
for so long-

bill, I found my own office.

Oh yeah? Well, good for you,
Mike.

It shows real initiative

that you found your own office
here in hope valley.

It's next door.

Next door?

We're gonna be neighbors.

So, you're welcome.

Neighbor.

Were you surprised to hear
Cooper say he'd do it again?

We need to get to the bottom
of this,

and not just when Cooper
says he's ready.

I hear you.

I finished sweeping.

Head on home and start
your homework.

No time to play?

You heard your mama.

- I'll get my books.
- Mmmhmm.

There's more going on
with that boy of yours

than just not liking land is.

What happened to "minnie,
I miss my boy"?

[Engine rattling]

Excuse me, sir?
Is this your car?

Uh, hold up a second.

I, uh, noticed some damage
to the front of your car here.

Sir? Stop!

Wait!

I thought it was
rather ingenious

when ned showed it to me.

So, the object is to connect
the words up and down?

And sideways.

And sideways, based on
the given clues?

That's correct.

Mmmhmm.

What did you say the name
of this game was again, ned?

Interconnected word puzzle.

Interconnected word puzzle.

It doesn't exactly roll off
the tongue, does it?

You really think this could be
a weekly feature

in the valley voice?

Florence, I do.

Oh!

Sweetheart, what do you...
Think?

Wow, pop caught the man
who hit mountie Nathan!

Caught him all by himself!

Woohoo! Yeah, pop!

- Minnie, minnie!
- Yes.

What's going on?

[♪]

I missed all the excitement.

It was pretty much over before
it began thanks to Joseph.

How's your shoulder?

From locking up the cell door?

I mean, are you up to walking
Newton on a lead

or should I come along
just in case?

Yeah, I think just in case,
you should, you know.

So, what did he say?
The man who hit you.

"I didn't do it."

Ah.

I hear that's what most people
in jail say.

Is that right?

Always.

- Everyone's innocent.
- Right.

- Until proven guilty.
- That's true.

You want me to stick around?

Not if you'll only have us
rearranging furniture.

[laughs]

Elizabeth is a lovely writer.

Thank you for letting me
borrow this.

You're welcome.

You know, I don't see myself
in Dr. Hartner.

You think Elizabeth based
that character on me?

Well, not the part

where her seafaring husband
was swept out to sea.

[laughs]

No.

But her relationship with him
seemed so easy.

Too much of the time Carson
and I were together

it never felt that way.

Our love took... Effort.

A relationship might be effort,
but when love's not there,

being together can
be overwhelming.

Or even underwhelming.

That too.

And I don't consider either
of those things to be love.

Hmm.

Are you alright being single?

I am.

I'm happy.

I have a wonderful daughter,
fabulous friends,

a splendid job.

And who knows?

Maybe someday I'll find
love again.

With bill?

We're kindred spirits.

And that seems to be enough
for us.

Hmm.

I think that's where
Carson and I

will find ourselves too,
some day.

I hope so, anyway.

We'll always be close.

I miss him, though.

I do.

Of course you do.

Don't stay too late.

Goodnight.

[Exhales]

[Phone rings]

Hello, Dr. Carter speaking.

Carson!

Oh, my goodness, hi.
