Previously on When Calls the Heart Something's not quite right. Well then

what I recommend is a healthy dose of communication.

Good luck. Every town needs a library.

I'd like to buy your land. $1,500. $1,200.

That's my final offer.

Constable Grant!

It's about Allie. I was hoping to talk to you. Okay. I'll come by.

I feel truly blessed to have Jack.

It's the little things.

His morning smile.

That sparkle in his eyes.

His beautiful laugh, it fills my heart with profound joy.

Love comes in many forms, especially in Hope Valley right now, where new love

blossoms.

Enduring love grows even stronger.

There's a reason love inspires great poetry and song.

It stirs something deep within us, bringing us comfort, bliss, and most of

all, hope in what tomorrow may bring.

Look at him.

All smiles.

Don't I look like the sucker?

Jesse. Lee, he swindled me. You don't know that.

He couldn't afford nine grand to buy the saloon.

So how is it you can spend a bunch more on this oil business?

Henry has a lot of contacts in the mining world.

I'm sure he could find a backer.

Still, why was he so eager to buy my land?

Isn't Cat's Cradle more fun with two people?

Here you go.

I meant maybe some of the other kids would like to play with you too.

What? I thought you were making friends.

I am, I guess.

These kids are tough nuts to crack.

Really?

Ally, you're one of the funniest kids I know.

You can make me laugh, and I am a tough audience.

All right, why don't you get out of here? It's two nights a day for us both

to be cooped up in here.

Here's your share of the oil proceeds.

Solity really isn't your strong suit, is it?

Is there a problem?

Let's just say that being associated with you doesn't exactly boost my

standing in the community.

I'm quite sure I could say the same thing.

It's this.

You cheated me out of my land.

I figure the old profits belong to me now.

Let me tell you something about court, son, as I've seen the inside of one a

few times. Save your lectures, Henry.

I'm going to get what's mine.

Judge will be here first thing in the morning.

See you then.

Right this way.

It's seen better days, but I think under all the dust and cobwebs, this place has

a lot of potential.

And why are you showing this to me?

Welcome to your new library.

Very funny. It shouldn't be.

Well, as I said, there isn't any room in the town budget to rent space for a

library. There's no need to rent a space when I'm donating this place.

You bought this building for the new library.

Well, actually, I bought it three weeks ago as an investment property.

But I guess a library will just have to do.

You mean to tell me that out of the goodness of your heart, you are donating

this whole building to the town?

Business has been going very well.

And imagine all the books that you'll get to read in here.

I don't know what to say.

I can have a crew start building shelves in here today.

No, I would save that money for what's important, the books.

So we're on.

I could have my students handle the repairs.

I'll take that as a yes.

Where are you headed?

Oh, to court.

Jesse's suing me. It's an open-and-shut case. I don't think he's got a shot.

You are slick, Henry, but one day that may be your downfall.

Well, perhaps so, just not today.

Let's head inside, shall we? I'm just gonna wait for the judge.

I am the judge.

Sworn in last night.

First dispute.

Is it one about a dry cow?

Now remember, everyone, we're organizing the books by genre. What have you got

there? Opal?

Wuthering.

Wuthering? Wuthering Heights.

Yes. That's a tragedy.

Can I read it?

Perhaps in a few years.

How's everything going with the shelves?

Very well. Thank you.

I hope you use dowels.

Excuse me?

Dowels? Little wood things? I know what dowels are.

Books are heavy.

These nails will just bend.

I think these nails will be just fine.

Suit yourself.

But just out of curiosity, if one were interested in using dowels, how might he

go about doing that?

I spoke to my father again.

He was playing with one of my little nephews.

Sounded like they were having so much fun.

I'm surprised to hear that. The way you described your father, he was a bit more

reserved than that.

I guess I made a lot of assumptions about him that aren't really true.

Again, thank you so much for putting us in touch.

So, I didn't overstep.

Yes.

But I'm glad that you did.

I think we made quite a bit of progress.

So impressed by how well the children did. Yeah.

How's your thumb?

I'll survive.

Thank you again. I still can't believe you did all this.

It's my pleasure.

So I... I'm sorry.

You go ahead.

No, please.

Well, you must be starving.

Can I interest you in a bite at the saloon?

To discuss library business.

That's very kind of you, but I should be getting home to my son.

Of course.

Henry, how long have we known each other for? Don't ask questions I know the

answers to.

Okay.

Why did you make an offer on my land?

Well, like I told you, I wanted to drill for oil.

And this geologist who told me there was only a 40% chance of striking oil, who

hired him?

I knew him from my time in the mining industry. See?

They're friends.

I didn't say that.

Where are you going with this, Jesse? I'm saying Henry hires the geologist,

the guy who basically advises me not to drill.

He then buys my land, and what do you know?

Oil.

I think Gowan and this geologist were in cahoots.

Well, that doesn't sound like a stretch, but do you plan on sharing anything

other than accusations?

What else have you got?

Um... One second.

Uh...

It's getting late. We'll reconvene in the morning.

Court's adjourned.

You did good.

Are you kidding me? I'm losing.

I saw Henry and Lucas talking yesterday.

And Henry handed him some money.

A tad money?

A lot more than that.

Thank you, Robert.

All right, everyone.

Why don't you start filling the shelves and I'll go collect the last of the

books from the schoolhouse.

Before you know it, this place is going to start to feel like a real library.

The fall of the House of Usher. That was ours. My mom gave it away because she

said it would give us nightmares.

Let's read it.

During the whole of a dole.

dark and soundless day in the autumn of the year when the clouds hung

oppressively low in the heavens.

I had been passing alone on horseback through a singularly dreary track of

country.

Judge, I'd like to call Lucas Bouchard to the stand.

Now, Mr. Bouchard, what do you do here in Hope Valley? We all know that Mr.

Bouchard owns the saloon. Move on.

Okay. Did you invest in Gowan's oil business?

There you go.

Good question.

Thank you.

Your answer?

Yes.

I own a 30% stake in Gowan Petroleum.

Why'd you keep it a secret?

I had my reasons.

Well, that's not good enough, Mr. Bouchard. It's time for you to start

giving some straight answers.

Go on, Jesse.

When Henry approached you, what did he say the odds of finding oil on my land

were?

40%. Why would you put money on the line when the odds of striking oil were so

low?

Compared to poker, 40% odds sound pretty good to me.

I mean, I am a gambler. The fact is, I don't know who or what you are, but I do

know your partner's a convicted criminal, and it doesn't smell right

from here.

There was an iciness, a sinking, a sickening of heart. What was it that so

unnerved me in the contemplation of the house of Usher?

Aren't you supposed to be shelving?

But you said a library was for reading.

First we shelve, then we read.

Now let's see how much we can get accomplished before it's dinner time.

I know where a real haunted house is.

Where? In the woods.

All the Mounties know about it.

Frank wasn't supposed to tell me, but he did.

Where is it?

Court them all at Frenchman's Creek.

All right, so what do we do now? We could go.

That would be great. Let's go. You're going, aren't you?

I am, too.

We're too young.

You stand, Henry.

Henry, I want you to answer me a question.

If the geologist said you had 40% chance of finding oil on Jesse's property, why

would you buy options all around it?

Well, it only stands to reason that the more property under my control, the

better chance I have of striking oil.

I'm not going to apologize for taking a huge risk and having a payoff.

Sit.

Well, I used to be able to rest people on my suspicion.

With this job, I need more.

Jesse, I'm sorry.

You have no proof that says Henry did anything fraudulent.

Case dismissed.

No horror feelings.

Still isn't fair.

You think this is it?

Must be.

Who do you think lived here?

Don't you mean who died here?

Who's there?

You thought I was a ghost.

Opal, what are you doing here?

Did you follow us?

Did you guys see that?

Harper?

Opal?

Oh, he likes this one, doesn't he?

Pears are his new favorite.

Mrs. Thornton.

What's wrong?

We went into the woods and there was this ghost. Everyone ran, but I don't

know where they are.

Slow down. Just start at the beginning.

Okay. Allie told us about this haunted cabin up Frenchman's Creek.

Allie did?

Me and Harper went to see it, but Opal followed us.

Mrs. Thornton, there's a real ghost. And when I ran, I thought Harper and Opal

were behind me, but they weren't.

What if the ghost got them?

I'll watch Jack.

Robert, hurry on home. Understood?

Whoa, whoa.

Constable. Do you know where Allie is?

Yeah, she's at home.

I'll get some lanterns.

Harper!

Opal!

That cabin Allie was talking about is a quarter mile in. We found it while we

were fishing together one time.

You know, I don't know what gets into her head sometimes.

Children seem to make it their job to keep adults guessing.

Hey, sweetheart.

Shh. Oh, sorry.

Thought I might find you here.

Elizabeth just had an emergency.

Oh. Hope it's nothing too serious.

Oh, I'm sure she's handling it.

Hi.

Listen, um, I know something's on your mind.

And I know what it is. And I just want you to know that we can talk about it.

Lee, I... I can't. Yes, you can.

We're in this together, right?

I see you with little Jack, and...

You would make a wonderful father.

I know that's what you want.

I

don't

think I can give you a child.

You deserve to be a father.

You do, and I know... I know it's my fault. You don't know that.

You don't know that at all. It could just as easily be me.

The truth is, it doesn't matter.

Because no matter how much I may want a child, the only thing in the whole world

that I really need is you.

Every day with you is like a gift.

I am the luckiest man in the whole world because your face is the first thing I

get to see every morning when I wake up.

I love you.

And I see you with baby Jack, too. And I know how much you want a child of your

own.

What if it doesn't happen for us?

We face it together.

Just like we always do.

You and me.

Thank you.

Oh, what happened?

Opal tripped when we were running.

Oh, let me see, sweetheart.

It hurts.

I think it might be broken.

We're going to take you to go see Dr. Shepard, all right?

As far as what you're doing out here, we'll talk about that later.

Allie, come here. You're with me.

Thank you.

I'm really sorry.

Here you are, Opal.

Lift up a little bit.

There you go.

Beef stroganoff sounds good.

Oh.

Yes, I might have that.

Something's on your mind.

Am I that easy to read?

Only because we've been spending so much time together.

Too much time?

I would take every minute that I can get.

Well, I'm glad to hear that.

Because I spoke to my father again, and he's invited us to Thanksgiving.

He wants to meet the man who put us back in touch, and he wants to thank you in

person.

I can tell him that you have other plans.

I would love to meet your family.

I'm sorry to interrupt, but you have a patient.

It was just supposed to be a joke.

You know, Allie, when I say that you were funny, this is not what I meant.

How is she?

Fortunately, it's just a sprain.

You got the idea from that book in the library, didn't you?

The library?

How come every time Allie's in trouble, Bouchard is somehow involved?

Now, Allie, I know you didn't expect Opal to follow those boys, but being out

in the woods at night, that just isn't safe.

I won't ever do anything like it again.

Can I go see Opal?

Go ahead.

Don't blame the library or Lucas for what happened.

There's nothing wrong with being a book lover.

Yeah.

He's a lover, all right. I'm just not sure about the book part.

I am sorry.

For what? If your job makes you believe the worst in people.

I'm sorry you got hurt.

She'll be as good as new in a couple of weeks.

I really thought you were a ghost.

Oh, thanks.

How did you make the rocking chair move?

That wasn't me.

My eyes had a string to it.

How's that?

Not too tight?

Madam Librarian, what keeps you out so late?

There was an emergency with one of the children.

Everything's fine, just a case of literature being taken too literally.

They say a little learning can be a dangerous thing.

I don't believe that.

I'm on the fence.

Why are you so interested in setting up the library?

Hope Allie needs one.

Is that the only reason?

Because if I have in any way led you to believe...

Never mind.

Now, I'm not going to deny that I was aware of your beauty.

But as I got to know you, I became fascinated by your goodness.

Dangerous Liaisons.

One of my favorites.

I wanted a library because it seemed like a good thing.

No disrespect.

Hello? I have the Benson Hills Mountie Station on the line.

Put it through.

You are connected.

This is Constable Grant.

You'll never guess who was spotted outside your town.

Gentleman Johnny Boone.

I heard about Johnny Boone. Yeah,

there's reports that he was spotted at Rock Creek. I'll be joining you.

Bill, you're not the sheriff anymore.

As territorial judge, I hereby deputize myself.

See how easy that was?

Besides, you don't know this guy like I do. Between the newspaper articles and

the dime novels, everybody knows this guy.

Not like I do.

He's got a lot of tricks up his sleeve.

Last time I caught him was outside the woods near Coyote Pass.

But he escaped.

Within a week.

How long ago was that?

Nine years.

Oh, hold on.

Stay down.

Hey, Johnny.

It's been a while.

Yeah, but not long enough by my account.

Fiona, take a look at this. It's my latest design.

Yeah, it's pretty.

But not for you.

You know, Fiona, I can design anything.

There's this skirt I saw in this advertisement.

Right here.

It's beautiful.

I love the detailing.

I've never designed anything quite like it before.

Why? I don't think the women here would go for it.

Maybe if you offered these styles, women would buy them.

And maybe you'd get some new customers.

Hmm. A whole new market.

Hurry up, hurry up.

What in the world?

Carson,

what's going on?

Come on, come on.

Speed up.

He's here.

Give us some room.

How's it feel to be famous?

Well, it's not something I experience very much.

Enjoy it while you can.

It's famous fleeting, and your prison term won't be.

Well, little Jack and I have a full day ahead of us.

Oh, Mary, you don't have to do that.

It is never too early for Jack to experience the best of music and

literature. Maybe a little finger painting. Yes, yes. Thank you, Rosemary.

Oh, of course. It's my pleasure.

Clara can watch the shop today, can't she?

Yes.

Is everything okay?

Um, I just called my dad.

And a strange voice answered.

He said he was a neighbor.

My dad had a heart attack two days ago.

Faith. He's fine.

He's recovering.

But I still think I should go see him.

Absolutely. I can handle everything here.

Your mistake was not changing up your routine. I change it plenty.

You both just got lucky.

Well, I think I'd call it skill when I anticipate your next move.

Was it skill at Edgewood?

When you walked in the barn and fed your horse and didn't even see me up there in

the hayloft?

You were up there the whole time?

Oh, yeah.

Okay, I'm gonna go do my rounds while you two continue down memory lane.

Judge?

Did I just hear him right? Well, that's what happens when you don't live the

life of crime. You get promoted.

Well, how'd it go?

Everyone's just talking about Gentleman Johnny.

Yeah, well, he's, uh... He's sort of famous, so that's understandable.

Robert called him a legend.

Is he? A legend? I don't know.

There's a lot of stuff written about him.

Somebody said that he's never hurt anybody, and that he's pulled off

amazing crimes.

But Ally, you know if you steal from someone, you are hurting them, right?

Yeah, I do.

Good. I think you should be the legend, not him.

You know, the fact that you think that is enough for me.

Oh, sorry.

Jack,

look who's home. Hello, my sweet boy.

Hello.

How did everything go today?

Oh, we had just a perfect day. We went over the alphabet and we listened to

some songs. We did a little artwork.

And a gift for you.

Thank you.

Oh, and look at those.

Oh, well, I had a little time on my hands while Jack was napping.

Rosemary, they're beautiful.

Thank you. I just have to convince the women in town to love them.

Elizabeth, how would you like to be on the cutting edge of fashion?

Oh. Hmm?

I got you some lemon drops for your trip. It can get pretty dusty.

Thank you, Carson.

We've got a shipment of supplies that we're having Thursday.

I'll take care of it. And if you see Mrs. Galuzzo in town, remind her she's

got an appointment on Friday. She's always forgetting.

Don't worry.

Have a safe trip.

You're all set.

Don't forget to call.

Oh, don't you worry. Lee will join us shortly.

You just want to come out, don't you?

Yes, yes.

He just loves you so much. Well, I'll let you in on a little secret.

I'm crazy about him, too.

Rosemary, what is it?

Elizabeth, there's something I haven't told you.

I don't think I can have children.

Are you sure?

Maybe it just hasn't happened yet.

I think it would have happened by now if something wasn't wrong.

I'm here for you.

You've already done so much.

Every day.

Truly, I have so many blessings to be grateful for.

Amazing friends.

And a man I love.

A wonderful career. And best of all, I get to be this little guy's

auntie. Yes. Who's your favorite auntie? Who's your favorite auntie?

Hi.

Let's go.

Can't a man get a good night's sleep around here?

Your escort's here. He can sleep on the way to Union City.

It's a bit late to go traipsing around the country, isn't it?

Couldn't this wait till tomorrow?

Since when do you care what time it is?

Since I had those pancakes this morning.

Pancakes? Yeah, best I ever had.

Ah, come on, let me have one more good meal.

You're a judge now. You can order them to transport me tomorrow.

For old time's sake.

He's just so adorable.

And he's talented.

I am quite certain he has an ear for music.

Just imagine if our little Jack turned out to be the next Chopin. Or maybe the

next Ty Cobb. Look at the hands on that kid. Well, exactly. Perfect for playing

the piano. Or for holding a baseball bat. Or playing a violin.

Or throwing a baseball.

Well, whatever he decides to do, one thing is for certain. Little Jack will

always have you two in his corner.

Absolutely. Yep.

Good. because there's something I'd like to ask you both. Oh, what is it?

Well, it's for little Jack.

Well, of course. Anything for little Jack. Of course we'll do it. Don't you

want to know what it is first?

Oh, I'm with Rose Brown. That's one. If it's to do with you guys, we are in.

I'm glad to hear it.

Now, I've thought about this, and I'd like the both of you to be his

guardians.

Oh.

Do you think I'd make a good mother?

I think you'd make a great one.

I just, I, uh, I don't know what to say. Well, yes.

Absolutely.

Positively, yes.

Yes.

Allie, I don't mean to pry, but is everything all right between you and

your uncle?

I noticed he seemed pretty upset yesterday.

Oh. Yeah, he just gets a little cranky whenever there's criminal in town.

Why?

I think it's because of Grandpa.

Uncle Nathan won't talk about it, but I did overhear him with Grandma one night.

What does it have to do with your Grandpa?

He's in prison.

Oh.

There are latest designs.

The fabric is so light and soft. And you would not believe how much cooler it is

on a warm day.

So far, so good.

Rosemary, you never cease to amaze me. Well, let's see if we actually sell any

skirts. And I'll happily agree with you.

Ready to settle up?

Ready, sir. How was your breakfast?

Humble pie don't exactly agree with me.

Oh.

Mrs. Thornton.

Is there something I can help you with?

It's about Allie.

What has she done this time?

Nothing. It's just I spoke with her, and I thought you should be aware that she

knows about your father.

What?

How? She overheard you and your mother.

I had no idea.

Well, she's got... Questions.

Yeah.

Don't we all?

For what it's worth, my advice, talk to her.

I would appreciate it if you didn't say any of this to anyone else.

It's not my story to tell.

Thank you.

You're welcome, Constable Grant.

Wait.

I think it's time that you start calling me Nathan.

Elizabeth.

We'll have that ready for you next week.

I'm calling this my Fiona collection.

Well, that has a nice ring to it.

Now, what can I get for you?

You want this one?

You're connected.

Faith? I wanted to surprise you.

Well,

you certainly did.

How is your father?

Faith?

He's on the mend, and so is our relationship.

But something like this might take a while.

Well, how much longer are you planning on staying?

I don't know, Carson.

Mrs. Thornton told me today that you were asking about Grandpa.

Is there something that you would like to ask me?

Is he a bad guy?

He's in prison.

Why? Well, Grandpa deceived people.

He thought that that was the only way he could provide for his family.

Was it?

No.

It wasn't.

Is that why you became a Mountie?

To be different than him?
