00:06 Lucas, please wake up.
00:08 Well, he may never be able to identify the shooter.
00:11 So you don't think Clayton Pike did it?
00:13 Mrs. Watson.
00:14 Lily.
00:15 What's gonna happen to Grandma?
00:16 Your grandma is sick right now.
00:19 You're safe with us.
00:21 I'm proposing to build popular tourist attractions
00:23 across our region,
00:25 the first of which will be in Hope Valley.
00:27 Lately, I've just been feeling there's a change in the air
00:30 and inside me.
00:31 That's quite the change, Elizabeth.
00:33 Wow, you look-- you look great.

00:42 Bye.
00:44 Goldie was a little out of sorts this morning.
00:47 I hope Robert doesn't have his hands full
00:49 looking after her and little Jack.
00:52 I'm sure he'll be fine.
00:53 Ali has done it before.
00:55 That is right.
00:56 I just hope he doesn't do a practice haircut on either one.
00:59 No, he wouldn't.
01:01 I'm teasing.
01:03 Well...
01:04 [chuckles]
01:07 Ali must be glad to have Nathan home.
01:12 Mm-hmm.
01:13 Of course.
01:14 Aren't we all?
01:16 Of course.
01:18 Especially given that it's his birthday.
01:21 Well, this weekend.
01:23 I keep a calendar of birthdays for local luminaries,
01:26 just in case I have a slow news day.
01:28 [gasps]
01:29 Someone should throw him a birthday party.
01:32 Oh, I don't think he'd like that.
01:34 Of course he would like that.
01:36 A casual dinner amongst friends at the saloon.
01:38 A chance for us to share with him how much we appreciate him.
01:41 That does sound more his speed.
01:42 Yes.
01:44 I'm so glad he's finally home.
01:46 ♪ ♪
01:48 What?
01:49 Oh, nothing.
01:51 ♪ ♪
01:55 Okay.
01:56 How do you divide these two fractions?
02:00 Here, let me show you.
02:04 Come on, Toby.
02:08 You gotta learn this stuff for the quiz.
02:10 You know me, I don't understand it like you do.
02:13 But don't worry, I've got a plan.
02:15 I'll memorize the answers to the homework problems.
02:18 I'll ace it, just like the geography quiz.
02:22 Geography's different.
02:23 With math, you have to, you know, solve the problem.
02:26 This'll work.
02:27 As long as the answers are right, I'm golden.
02:31 So, about your birthday.
02:36 Yeah, let's-- let's not make a big fuss about that.
02:40 I wasn't.
02:42 I was just thinking, I owe you a fishing trip.
02:47 I could pack us a lunch,
02:49 and we could head up to that fishing hole we used to go to.
02:52 Sounds perfect.
02:54 [doorbell rings]
02:56 Good morning. Hello.
02:58 Good morning, Mrs. Thornton.
02:59 Good morning, you two.
03:00 I hope you're ready for the math quiz.
03:02 If you did your homework, it'll be a piece of cake.
03:04 We're ready.
03:05 Morning.
03:07 Good morning, Allie.
03:08 Morning.
03:09 Morning.
03:10 Uh, am I misinformed,
03:13 or is it someone's birthday this weekend?
03:15 You're misinformed.
03:17 Oh, that's too bad.
03:19 Because Rosemary had this idea that I could--
03:22 that we, um-- that a small group of us
03:26 could have a casual dinner at the saloon tomorrow night
03:29 to celebrate.
03:30 Oh.
03:32 Oh.
03:34 Oh!
03:36 What?
03:37 Allie's throwing a surprise party.
03:39 Not that I've heard.
03:41 Oh, you're just gonna get a small group of people together
03:44 for dinner at the saloon?
03:46 It's happening.
03:48 Nathan, no.
03:49 Yeah, I-- I just told her I wanted to keep things simple.
03:52 I'm not a party guy,
03:54 specifically when they're thrown for me.
03:56 Well, then you're gonna have a great birthday,
03:58 because as far as I know, there's really no party.
04:00 She had quite the cover story, too.
04:02 She wanted to go fishing.
04:04 When was the last time she asked me to go fishing?
04:06 What, when she was 12?
04:07 Nathan.
04:08 Oh, you know, no, no.
04:10 I'm gonna play along.
04:12 You do that.
04:13 Oh.
04:15 [music playing]
04:19 [music playing]
04:22 [music playing]
04:26 [music playing]
04:53 Lucas says he wants to talk to me.
04:55 Well, you, me, and Lee.
04:57 Well, I want to talk to him.
04:59 He can't go around announcing that he's building a resort
05:01 without consulting with town leadership.
05:03 And why didn't Lee say anything about these shenanigans?
05:05 Well, didn't want to put the cart before the horse.
05:08 So I'm the horse?
05:09 Or are you the cart?
05:11 Anyway, as mayor, you should be--
05:13 I should be consulted.
05:14 I should weigh in.
05:15 Well, me too, as manager of the saloon, Lucas's saloon.
05:19 Eh, I'd like to be on the call.
05:22 How does he know about the call?
05:23 Well, I set up the call.
05:25 Well, maybe the whole town should be on the call.
05:30 Bill, Mike, Lee, it's good to be talking to you.
05:34 I hope you can hear me clearly.
05:35 I can hear you loud and clear.
05:36 Yeah, I can hear you clear as day.
05:38 So can I.
05:39 Mike here.
05:40 Good to hear your voice, governor.
05:41 Mike for the last time.
05:42 It's Lucas.
05:43 So gentlemen--
05:44 I thought I should be included too.
05:45 It's, uh--
05:46 It's Ned.
05:47 Uh, Yost.
05:48 Well, certainly.
05:49 I didn't mean to leave you out, Ned.
05:51 So gentlemen--
05:52 Oh, and lady, Rosemary here as a representative of the press.
05:56 Certainly.
05:57 I suppose you all have a lot of questions.
05:59 The hotel is at capacity already.
06:01 This is quite high-handed, Lucas.
06:03 Let the man speak.
06:05 I will address all of your concerns,
06:07 and they are all important.
06:09 But most of all, this is about Hope Valley
06:11 and what we want for our town.
06:13 Now, if anyone has any doubts, Hope Valley
06:16 doesn't need to be the location.
06:17 Well, hold on a minute.
06:18 No one said that.
06:19 It goes without saying.
06:20 It definitely has to be Hope Valley.
06:22 Well, I can't do it without your help.
06:24 Lumber, supplies, hospitality, and legal advice.
06:28 Speaking of which-- and I apologize, Mike.
06:30 This call is meant to give you a heads up.
06:32 I have been advised I'll need to divest my interest
06:35 in the hotel and the saloon.
06:36 Divest?
06:37 You mean you're-- you're selling it?
06:40 Yes, it would be seen as a conflict of interest
06:42 if the new resort boosts profits at the Queen of Hearts.
06:44 But Mike, I will do my best to get the new owner
06:48 to keep you on, whoever the buyer may be.
06:51 Now, for the sale, Bill, could you handle the legal end?
06:53 Consider it done.
06:54 And Mike, you know the books more than anyone.
06:57 Would you agree by putting together a prospectus?
06:59 Yeah, absolutely.
07:00 Anything you need, Lucas.
07:01 Of course.
07:02 And Rosemary, while I have you, I'd love to run an ad.
07:04 Of course.
07:05 Our readers are eager to learn more about your grand vision.
07:09 But first, while I have you on the phone,
07:11 I would like to ask you again about the recent arrest
07:14 of Clayton Pike.
07:15 We don't have to get into that now.
07:17 Lucas will let you go.
07:18 Ned, sign us off.
07:19 Right.
07:20 Right.
07:22 Well, I had more to ask him.
07:26 You should be excited.
07:28 Really?
07:29 About what?
07:30 All the lumber that's going to be required
07:31 to build the new resort.
07:33 Sawmill is going to be going gangbusters for months.
07:36 You live for a challenge like this.
07:38 Well, I have other things to live for these days,
07:41 like you and Goldie.
07:44 Yes, we know.
07:47 But I have a feeling things are about to get a whole lot busier.
07:53 I, for one, could certainly go for one of Minnie's scones
07:56 to shore me up.
07:57 OK.
07:58 Sweetheart, our breakfast date.
08:06 You forgot.
08:08 Our breakfast date?
08:10 Leland Coulter.
08:13 We never get a chance to talk anymore.
08:16 For once, I wanted to share a meal with you,
08:19 preferably one that didn't end up on my blouse
08:21 or on the floor.
08:22 I'm sorry, sweetheart.
08:23 I promised Richard I'd go over these numbers,
08:25 and now there's the whole saloon business.
08:28 But I'll tell you what.
08:30 Lunch is a far more romantic meal anyway.
08:33 So what do you say?
08:34 Cafe, 1230?
08:38 1230.
08:40 You had better not forget.
08:42 OK.
08:43 Are you heading out so soon?
08:49 I thought we could do the crossword together.
08:51 Oh, sorry, Mike.
08:52 I have a lot of prescriptions to get out today.
08:54 Oh, of course.
08:55 Rain check?
08:56 Sure.
08:57 How are the newlyweds doing?
09:00 Uh, I should get going.
09:02 Long day ahead.
09:04 We'll do the crossword tomorrow.
09:07 Can't wait.
09:11 How's that going?
09:12 Swell.
09:14 There was a shocker about the saloon.
09:16 Seems Lucas has bigger fish to fry.
09:19 What if he sells to the wrong person?
09:21 Real despot.
09:22 Should I be out looking for a new job?
09:24 I think you may be getting ahead of yourself, my friend.
09:27 [car horn honks]
09:29 Can I stay with you all day?
09:33 Unless I'm seeing patients.
09:35 But then who will look after me?
09:38 Don't worry, Lily.
09:39 Molly will be there, and I'll be nearby.
09:41 Meet you there.
09:43 Oh, no, Lily, watch out for cars!
09:46 How's that going?
09:48 Swell.
09:50 That wasn't so bad, was it?
09:56 As math quizzes go.
09:58 Thank you.
09:59 Thank you.
10:00 All right, everyone.
10:02 Time for lunch.
10:05 [chatter]
10:07 Mrs. Thornton?
10:11 Do you think Jack would want to help me collect worms tonight?
10:14 My dad and I are going fishing tomorrow.
10:17 Right, I heard.
10:19 For his birthday?
10:21 Right.
10:22 His birthday.
10:24 You know, it's been ages since I heard you talk about fishing.
10:28 Well, it is his birthday.
10:31 He likes fishing.
10:33 Wait, so you actually are just going fishing?
10:37 Yes.
10:39 And nothing more?
10:41 No.
10:43 Well, uh...
10:46 splendid.
10:48 Oh, Lucas giving up the saloon.
10:58 That was a surprise.
11:00 Mm-hmm. You know, it seems to me there was a time when you were interested in buying a note.
11:04 That was years ago. Now I like to keep things simple.
11:07 Uh-huh.
11:09 Except for the shooting of a certain governor, of course.
11:12 What has Rosemary been saying?
11:14 Oh, nothing. Nothing at all.
11:16 Just that, uh...
11:18 you think there's more to it.
11:21 Your wife is persistent, if nothing else.
11:24 Bill...
11:25 Be warned.
11:27 My wife is an unwavering force of nature.
11:30 These are the last of the letters. The most recent ones.
11:36 Thanks, Hickam.
11:37 So when do you think the place will sell?
11:39 I really like it here.
11:40 I don't know.
11:42 Whoever buys it, it'd be crazy not to keep you one.
11:44 I knew it was gonna be a big year for the hotel with the hot springs opening up,
11:47 but this place has turned into a gold mine.
11:49 Nice work, young man.
11:51 Well, I offer a restaurant voucher to our hotel guests.
11:54 They try the food once, and they're hooked.
11:57 Smart idea.
11:58 And then there's the grilled cheese sandwiches.
12:00 Yeah? What about the grilled cheese sandwiches?
12:02 Well, they outsell our higher-end dishes by 20% at one-tenth the cost.
12:06 The only person not happy about it is Gustav.
12:09 [chuckles]
12:10 [speaking in foreign language]
12:14 Excuse me.
12:23 Henry?
12:25 Elizabeth.
12:27 It's you.
12:28 Look at you.
12:30 When did you get back?
12:33 Just this morning.
12:34 Oh, it's so good to see you.
12:36 Lovely to see you.
12:37 Tell me everything. How's Abigail?
12:39 She is fine.
12:41 She is as fine as she has ever been.
12:44 She wrote to me.
12:45 Said you had an awful lot to say, which is unusual for you.
12:49 Sometimes things need saying.
12:51 Part of me wondered if you'd even come back after seeing her.
12:55 She said that she wanted me to be happy.
12:58 So happy is where I'm headed.
13:01 Well, that is something we should all work on, shouldn't we?
13:04 I don't think you need too much work in that area.
13:06 Only because I'm glad to have you back.
13:09 Afternoon.
13:12 [music fades]
13:14 That Randall Rockwell, he always gets the scoop.
13:25 And so fast.
13:26 You gotta get up pretty early in the morning if you're gonna beat Randall Rockwell.
13:29 Did he mention Nathan's name?
13:31 Uh...
13:32 Hope Valley's constable, Nathan Grant,
13:35 was handpicked to join the investigation team
13:38 due to his first-hand knowledge of the events leading up to the shooting.
13:43 All Rockwell has done is quoted Clayton Pike's confession word for word.
13:47 You call that investigative reporting?
13:49 Well, he got an exclusive, it says so right here.
13:51 Because he has a source!
13:53 Big deal.
13:55 Hey, maybe you should get a source.
13:57 Yeah.
13:58 Thank you, Ned.
14:03 I'll take that under advisement.
14:06 [music]
14:08 Why are you printing?
14:14 Am I?
14:16 Is that about the guy who shot Mr. Bouchard?
14:21 Yeah.
14:22 Just re-reading his confession.
14:24 Apparently somebody leaked it to this reporter.
14:26 Hmm.
14:27 You had a lunch break?
14:29 Yep.
14:30 So, what should I get for your birthday picnic?
14:34 I thought we were going fishing.
14:36 Yeah?
14:37 Unless you want to do something else.
14:40 No.
14:42 No, no, no, no. Fishing is, uh...
14:44 Fishing is good.
14:46 What was that?
14:49 Hmm?
14:50 What was what?
14:51 You just winked.
14:53 About fishing.
14:54 I did not wink.
14:56 [music]
14:59 [footsteps]
15:01 Don't tell me you got scooped again.
15:12 [sigh]
15:13 I don't even mind as much about that.
15:17 I just can't let go of something Bill said.
15:22 About?
15:23 About this all being too easy.
15:26 Pike's capture followed rapidly by his confession.
15:30 Bill seems to believe it's all pretty convenient.
15:33 Why does Bill think that?
15:35 Oh, well, he won't say.
15:36 He refuses to take me seriously.
15:38 But Lucas isn't still in danger, is he?
15:40 Oh, I'm sure he is under all sorts of protection in Capital City.
15:45 Bill seems to be the lone voice.
15:47 [grunt]
15:49 I just need a source like Randall has.
15:52 He's always one step ahead.
15:54 He managed to get hold of Pike's full confession.
15:58 Without an exclusive like that,
15:59 how am I ever going to get to the bottom of the biggest story this territory has ever seen?
16:05 If anyone can make things happen, it's you, Rosemary.
16:08 Hi, Allie.
16:12 Everything okay?
16:15 [sigh]
16:17 I'm not sure.
16:18 Dad's being weird about going fishing for his birthday.
16:22 Same as you.
16:25 Is there something I should know?
16:28 Your dad has it in his head that you're planning a...
16:32 surprise party for him.
16:36 A surprise party?
16:37 [laughs]
16:38 That's fun!
16:39 He's expecting a party?
16:41 Yes, but he doesn't actually want one, Allie.
16:43 He told me so.
16:44 Elizabeth, of course he wants one.
16:46 Who doesn't want a surprise party?
16:49 Nathan.
16:50 Well, if he's expecting a party, don't I have to give him one?
16:54 No, honey, you really don't.
16:56 Don't you worry, Allie.
16:57 You know who is wonderful at planning surprises?
16:59 Mrs. Thornton.
17:01 Will you help me?
17:03 Of course you will.
17:05 And the whole town will want to celebrate your dad.
17:08 The whole town, huh?
17:09 Thank you so much.
17:12 I'll go make the invitations.
17:17 If anyone can make things happen, it's you, Elizabeth.
17:20 I see what you did there.
17:23 [laughs]
17:24 Hi.
17:36 Saw you ride past.
17:38 Hi, Mike.
17:39 I'm always afraid of what I'll find when I've been out on deliveries.
17:45 May, did I do something wrong?
17:48 No, of course not.
17:54 How would you think that?
17:56 It wasn't that joke that Bill made, was it?
17:59 That? No.
18:01 I've just been busy.
18:03 See you later, okay?
18:05 Sure.
18:08 [door creaks]
18:09 Are you still waiting?
18:16 Lee said lunch at 12.30.
18:19 It is now almost a quarter to one.
18:21 Where on earth could he be?
18:23 Some coffee, Rosemary?
18:25 No, Minnie. No, thank you.
18:27 Lee has obviously forgotten all about me.
18:29 I'm sure he'll be along soon.
18:31 There must be a good reason he's late.
18:33 It had better be better than good.
18:35 It had better be brilliant.
18:36 That's a lot of "B" words.
18:38 No, you're right, Minnie.
18:40 You're absolutely right.
18:41 What am I right about?
18:43 Well, what is it you always say about forgiving and being humble?
18:46 Oh, forgiveness is to be humble during trying times.
18:49 Yes. That's it?
18:51 That is it. Thank you.
18:52 That is exactly the advice I needed right now.
18:54 [sighs]
18:55 It just happened again.
19:04 What did?
19:06 People treat me like I'm supposed to be this fount of wisdom
19:09 just because I'm married to you.
19:11 Ah. A lot of the pastor's wife is never easy.
19:14 Everyone wants advice.
19:16 Florence is upset her daughter doesn't visit enough.
19:18 Molly worries about Rosaline living in the city.
19:21 And Mike Hickam, well, you are--
19:23 Worries about everything.
19:24 [both laugh]
19:25 So what'd you tell him?
19:27 I tried to think what would be useful to me
19:29 under the same circumstances.
19:31 But what if I'm wrong?
19:32 Well, nobody's perfect.
19:34 But you're pretty darn close.
19:36 [chuckles]
19:37 I know I don't tell you this often enough, but...
19:41 thank you for everything you do.
19:44 [chuckles]
19:45 [kisses]
19:46 Hey, sweetheart.
19:54 Oh.
19:55 Lunch date.
19:57 Uh, I was just on my way.
19:59 I--I wish it was just on my way.
20:02 I'm sorry I got distracted.
20:03 I didn't.
20:04 I did not.
20:05 If I have learned anything in this life,
20:06 it is to never be stood up by a man.
20:09 Sweetheart, I'm just going over Lucas' books.
20:11 Oh.
20:12 No, remember from the phone call this morning?
20:13 He's being forced to sell the hotel?
20:15 Actually, I'm glad you're here.
20:16 Sit down. I want to learn something about you.
20:19 You can still scowl at me.
20:20 Just do it sitting down.
20:22 Please?
20:23 I'm listening.
20:31 Okay.
20:33 I'm going over these ledgers,
20:34 and there is a lot of profit in here.
20:37 Michael is running a top-notch operation.
20:39 And what has that got to do with you standing me up?
20:42 Uh-huh.
20:43 Okay. [clears throat]
20:45 So I'm sitting here, and I'm thinking...
20:49 maybe this is too big an opportunity to pass up.
20:52 I'm--I'm sorry.
20:53 Did I just hear you suggest that we buy the hotel?
20:56 Well, keep in mind, Lucas is being forced to divest,
20:59 so I think we can get it for a fair price,
21:01 but it's not just that--
21:02 Lee!
21:03 No, no, no, just hear me out.
21:04 Lee!
21:05 I'm sorry.
21:06 Lee!
21:07 I barely see you as it is.
21:09 Come on.
21:10 You see me every day.
21:12 Sorry, sweetheart, that I forgot our breakfast date.
21:14 Sorry, sweetheart, that I just stood you up.
21:16 Is that what you're referring to?
21:17 Lucy, you're not listening to me.
21:19 Leland Coulter, I believe it is you who is not listening.
21:23 [door opens]
21:25 [door closes]
21:28 [sighs]
21:36 Here we are.
21:38 Okay.
21:40 Oh!
21:41 I will be one minute, Lily.
21:44 Do you get to come here whenever you want?
21:47 Yes.
21:48 Ms. Sue gave me a set of keys
21:50 so that I can come in when she's away.
21:53 Ah...
21:54 ♪ Da-da-da-da-da ♪
21:56 [phone beeps]
21:57 Oh!
21:58 Hey, silly, you're gonna make yourself dizzy.
22:01 I like being dizzy.
22:04 Whoa!
22:06 Come on.
22:08 [gasps]
22:10 You know, there's only one cure for being dizzy.
22:15 What is it?
22:17 An extra large scoop of strawberry ice cream.
22:20 Yay!
22:21 I'm gonna get even dizzier.
22:23 [laughs]
22:25 Bill!
22:26 Are you Friend Rosemary or Reporter Rosemary?
22:29 Did you read Pike's Confession in the Beatle?
22:31 They printed it word for word, or so they say.
22:34 Reporter Rosemary.
22:35 So?
22:36 I saw it.
22:37 The governor is depriving the common man
22:39 of the dignity of honest labor
22:41 by shutting down the water project?
22:43 Read this.
22:44 Oh, someone wrote it for him.
22:45 And believe me, I know prose fiction when I see it.
22:48 Bill!
22:50 I think you are right.
22:52 I think there is more to this story.
22:54 Could someone else be involved?
22:56 No, that's what I think,
22:58 but I don't have proof of anything.
23:00 Well, maybe if we work together,
23:02 we could find the proof.
23:04 Are you doing this for a headline?
23:05 I am doing this to get to the bottom
23:07 of the attempted murder of our friend,
23:09 who may still be at risk
23:11 if the person who put Pike up to it
23:13 is running around free.
23:15 Well, what can I say?
23:19 You know as much as I do, Rosemary.
23:21 Henry Gow.
23:28 Many saw you from the window.
23:31 Aren't you a sight for sore eyes.
23:33 Welcome back, friend.
23:35 Good to be here.
23:37 What are you doing hiding away in the back?
23:39 It's a nice spot.
23:41 Abigail used to tend to these trees.
23:43 She used to use the hazelnuts
23:45 in some of her baking.
23:47 These trees, they weren't doing well when we took over.
23:49 I wish I had the time to tend to them.
23:52 I have the time.
23:55 Well, be my guest.
23:59 Does that mean you're back here to stay?
24:01 I'm not quite sure about that,
24:03 but I have some time.
24:05 You seem different.
24:10 Maybe I am.
24:12 A little more?
24:16 Thank you.
24:18 Grading some tests, I see.
24:20 Mm-hmm. Before I go home for the night.
24:22 Fractions.
24:24 Oh, Cooper got another perfect score.
24:27 He really does seem to enjoy math.
24:29 He's even been helping Toby.
24:31 Has he?
24:34 I don't want to speak out of turn,
24:38 but I overheard Toby saying
24:40 he doesn't need to learn how to solve the problems.
24:42 He can just memorize the answers from his homework.
24:45 That explains quite a bit.
24:47 Mrs. Thornton, Angela came up with the best line
24:50 for the invitations for Dad's party.
24:52 Oh, it's his birthday?
24:54 Mm-hmm. Tell her, Angela.
24:56 Come celebrate a surprise for Hope Valley's favorite Mountie.
24:59 And we're not horsing around.
25:01 So now we just need the details.
25:05 So where, when?
25:08 Girls, I--
25:10 His birthday's tomorrow.
25:12 I can make a cake if that helps.
25:14 Elizabeth, if you're organizing, put me to work.
25:16 Okay.
25:19 Uh, sure.
25:21 Tomorrow. 6 p.m.
25:24 All right, let's go.
25:27 [door opens]
25:29 Peanut butter and jam is the one thing I can manage
25:39 that Lily actually likes,
25:41 as long as I cut the crusts off.
25:44 That's good, and you're getting to know her likes and dislikes.
25:47 Yeah, the only problem is, what she likes changes by the day.
25:50 Lily!
25:52 Dinner's ready!
25:54 I'm getting dressed!
25:56 I don't even want to know what she's doing up there.
25:59 Hey.
26:03 Is everything all right?
26:05 Oh, Faith.
26:07 Oh, I feel like a terrible person.
26:10 The worst.
26:12 [laughs]
26:14 It's Mike.
26:16 I thought things were going great.
26:18 They are.
26:20 Were.
26:22 I'm so confused, and I don't know why.
26:24 He's so kind and funny.
26:27 But I'm finding myself pulling back, and he sees.
26:30 Oh, Faith.
26:32 The way he looked at me today.
26:34 I feel like I was breaking his heart.
26:36 You care about him.
26:38 So much.
26:41 It's scary when things get serious, isn't it?
26:44 It's easy to feel afraid.
26:48 So if I'm afraid...
26:50 That means...
26:52 Things are getting serious?
26:54 Serious has never worked for me.
26:58 Well, maybe it will this time.
27:01 I'm ready for dinner!
27:07 [laughs]
27:18 Well, may I see your card yet?
27:21 Not yet.
27:23 Oh, my goodness.
27:25 I have never seen anyone take so long
27:27 to make a birthday card before.
27:29 It's from Auntie Nathan.
27:31 I want it to be just right.
27:34 Well, what do you think of my banner?
27:37 It's good, Mama.
27:39 Thank you.
27:41 I want it to be just right, too.
27:43 She'll love it.
27:45 I hope so.
27:48 Now may I see your card?
27:50 Yes.
27:53 Thank you.
27:55 It's from Auntie Nathan with me, you, Allie.
27:59 Let's go.
28:00 Do you think he'll like it?
28:02 I know he will.
28:15 Hey, Nat.
28:17 Hello.
28:18 Am I too late to get some eggs?
28:20 No, of course not.
28:21 Come in.
28:22 Oh, I've just finished today's tally.
28:25 Take the eggs on the house.
28:27 An early birthday present.
28:29 Oh, you heard about that, huh?
28:31 Well, Allie's been in every day
28:33 waiting for your new tackle box to arrive.
28:35 What?
28:36 Oh, I'm sorry.
28:37 Hey, it's all right.
28:38 You know, I'll leave an extra prize at the party.
28:40 What party?
28:41 There's a party?
28:42 Why weren't we invited?
28:44 Thanks for the eggs.
28:46 You're welcome.
28:49 Rosie.
28:57 We need to talk.
28:59 Oh, everyone wants to talk,
29:01 but no one wants to listen.
29:03 You, Bill.
29:05 It's about the hotel.
29:07 I'm surprised you could drag yourself away from the place.
29:09 Hey, this is a great opportunity.
29:12 To be away from me.
29:14 What?
29:16 What are you talking about?
29:18 You just don't want to share an office with me anymore.
29:21 That's it. I knew it.
29:22 No, it's...
29:24 Look, I just hate the paperwork.
29:26 The hotel, the saloon, that's more paperwork.
29:28 Less paperwork.
29:29 More early mornings.
29:30 No early mornings.
29:31 More late nights.
29:32 Sweetheart, I don't want to run the hotel.
29:34 I want Michael to.
29:35 Well, then let him buy it.
29:37 Sweetheart, he can't afford to do that,
29:39 and you know it.
29:40 But if we own it
29:43 and keep him on to manage it,
29:45 then the Queen of Hearts is owned by locals
29:48 who want to see that it's run the right way,
29:50 and Michael gets to keep his job.
29:52 No headaches for us.
29:54 And keep in mind,
29:56 I want Richard Wolfe to take more responsibility of the mill,
29:59 which means...
30:01 Go ahead. I know you want to say it.
30:04 More time with the family.
30:06 So what are we arguing about?
30:09 [both groan]
30:12 I love you so much.
30:17 I love you, too,
30:18 and I'm sorry I lost my temper.
30:21 I simply had the most frustrating day.
30:24 I hate that I've contributed to that,
30:27 but I'm all ears now.
30:29 Can I help you with this stuff?
30:31 Oh, be my guest.
30:33 Nothing would make me happier.
30:36 [sighs]
30:37 Hmm. You know what?
30:39 I think I know exactly what you need.
30:42 Lucas must have said something to you
30:55 when you saw him in Capital City.
30:57 He doesn't remember anything.
30:58 We didn't really get into it too much.
31:01 Finding the gun,
31:04 the capture, the confession.
31:06 Like dominoes in a perfectly straight line.
31:09 So Pike was sporadically employed,
31:11 supported his elderly mother,
31:13 a few small run-ins with the law in his youth,
31:16 shoplifting.
31:17 Mm-hmm.
31:18 But nothing since then.
31:20 Why would someone who seemingly got their life on track
31:22 suddenly commit an act of violence with no apparent motive?
31:25 This story has so many holes,
31:26 it might as well be a pair of old socks.
31:28 No, it doesn't add up.
31:29 I have a good sense about these things.
31:32 I still think Montague's involved somehow.
31:34 Horse manure.
31:36 What?
31:37 You know how he gets 'em.
31:39 Manure?
31:40 I mean, a lot of it.
31:42 What on earth are you reading?
31:44 Oh.
31:46 Hazelnuts?
31:48 Mm.
31:49 So I'll have the cake ready for tonight.
31:58 And Florence and I pulled whatever birthday decorations
32:00 we had on the shelves.
32:01 Even though our invitation was very last minute.
32:03 Well, it was last minute for everyone, Florence,
32:05 but I'm sorry.
32:06 Lee and Hickam are planning the food with Gustav.
32:08 Great.
32:09 All that leaves is the music.
32:11 Uh-oh.
32:13 Well, back to the old salt mine for me.
32:17 Yes, I have an important call.
32:19 And I've got to start, Tina.
32:20 As do I.
32:21 So there is a party.
32:28 Maybe.
32:29 But there wasn't supposed to be.
32:31 No.
32:32 Allie really just wanted to take you fishing.
32:34 But then she heard you expected a party, and--
32:37 She asked you for help, and you felt obliged.
32:40 Well, I wouldn't say obliged.
32:42 Oh.
32:43 I messed things up, didn't I?
32:45 No, you didn't.
32:47 But would it really be so bad to endure
32:49 a small party with friends?
32:51 [scoffs]
32:53 Allie has--
32:55 she's been so distant since I got back.
32:59 Does she want this?
33:01 She really does.
33:04 I guess I could play along.
33:07 I mean, you said it's a small party, right?
33:09 Barely a party.
33:10 More like a gathering, really.
33:12 And you will have fun.
33:15 I promise.
33:18 Thank you for helping her out with this.
33:21 Happy to.
33:23 I should, um-- I should go kit out my new tackle box.
33:26 Those trout don't stand a chance.
33:29 And, um, don't worry.
33:32 I'll-- I'll act surprised.
33:34 Nathan?
33:40 Yeah?
33:42 Happy birthday.
33:44 Oh, thanks.
33:57 I'm sorry the fish weren't biting.
33:59 Oh, who needs fish when I get to spend my birthday with you?
34:03 I just wanted it to be special.
34:05 Hey, this was plenty special.
34:07 By the way, I love this.
34:08 It's exactly what I wanted.
34:10 [chuckles]
34:12 Are you sure you're not disappointed
34:15 about not having a party?
34:17 Disappointed?
34:19 No.
34:20 Did my mom hate parties, too?
34:25 Your mother was the life of the party.
34:28 She loved to dance, loved to sing.
34:30 She had-- she had the most beautiful singing voice.
34:33 That's probably where you get your singing voice from.
34:36 So between the two of you, she was the fun one.
34:41 Hey, come on.
34:43 Since we didn't catch anything,
34:50 how about dinner at the saloon?
34:53 That's a good idea.
34:55 Great, wide, beautiful, wonderful world,
34:58 with the wonderful water round you curled
35:01 and the wonderful grass upon your chest.
35:04 World, you are beautifully dressed.
35:08 That was my favorite line when I was young.
35:12 What are this girl's parents?
35:15 Well...
35:20 In this story, Rebecca comes from a very large family
35:26 with lots of brothers and sisters,
35:28 and her parents needed help raising her.
35:31 So she went to live with her aunts.
35:35 Have you heard from Grandma?
35:38 I spoke with the doctors in Union City,
35:42 and they're making her better.
35:44 When?
35:47 You know, Lily, when I'm missing someone,
35:51 I squeeze my eyes shut,
35:54 and I try to picture them.
35:57 Shall we drive?
35:59 Okay.
36:01 I see Grandma. Who did you see?
36:05 I saw my friend Fiona.
36:14 This was a good idea.
36:17 Happy birthday, Dad.
36:20 Surprise!
36:27 [cheering]
36:30 You call this a small gathering?
36:33 I'm sorry, you have a lot of friends.
36:36 ♪ Happy birthday to you ♪
36:41 ♪ Happy birthday to you ♪
36:45 ♪ Happy birthday, dear Nathan ♪
36:50 ♪ Happy birthday to you ♪
36:55 Thank you, thank you, thank you.
36:58 By the beard of Zeus, that's big.
37:08 Well, you really pulled it off.
37:12 Who would have thought you could be so devious?
37:15 Devious?
37:17 More like thoughtful.
37:19 Mm-hmm.
37:20 Deviously thoughtful.
37:22 [laughs]
37:24 Nathan looks happy.
37:31 He does.
37:33 [indistinct chatter]
37:36 ♪
37:39 Yeah.
37:41 ♪
37:44 [laughs]
37:46 Well, it won't be long before there's a new owner to the saloon.
37:49 Mm-hmm. What have you heard?
37:50 Should I be looking for a new job?
37:52 Oh, you're not gonna get out of here that easy, my friend.
37:54 What do you mean?
37:55 Molly and I have been talking,
37:57 and we think we've found the perfect buyer for Lucas.
38:00 Already?
38:01 I haven't had a chance to prove myself yet.
38:03 What if they don't want me?
38:04 Oh, they do.
38:06 I can assure you the new bosses
38:09 know a good investment when they see one.
38:11 Mm-hmm.
38:12 You see, it's not just the saloon and the hotel, Michael.
38:15 The real investment here is you.
38:20 Thank you, but when do I meet them?
38:24 You two?
38:29 [laughs]
38:31 Yeah, well, we'll figure out the details later,
38:33 but rest assured,
38:34 Rosemary and I will remain completely hands-off,
38:38 won't we?
38:39 I might add, there was discussion some time ago
38:42 of adding a stage to the corner over there.
38:46 I'd be happy to resume that conversation.
38:49 But of course, the final decision
38:50 will be entirely yours, Hickam.
38:53 How can I thank you?
38:54 Well, you just keep doing exactly what you're doing.
38:58 Mm?
39:01 Right.
39:02 Yes, um...
39:03 Hey, tell you what,
39:04 why don't I pour some drinks for a while?
39:06 You take a little break.
39:07 Well earned.
39:09 [laughs]
39:11 Are you having fun?
39:13 Yes, um, you throw a great party.
39:15 Thank you.
39:16 Everyone pitched in.
39:19 I wanted to ask you something--
39:21 Mike, I know what you're gonna say.
39:23 If I've been cool with you, it's not your fault, it's me.
39:26 I'm nervous and scared.
39:28 When I first came into town,
39:29 I was running away from someone very controlling.
39:31 But that's not you.
39:32 You're wonderful and kind
39:34 and everything that I've ever wanted.
39:37 So, if you're wondering what's going on with me,
39:40 that's it, nothing more.
39:44 Um...
39:46 What did you want to ask me?
39:48 I was going to ask you if you'd like to dance.
39:52 Okay.
39:55 [dance music playing]
39:58 It's a good party.
40:14 Didn't see you there.
40:17 Escaping the throng.
40:21 Yeah, you know me too well.
40:24 You're a good sport.
40:26 Allie was beaming.
40:29 I was so sure I had you guys figured out.
40:32 Oh.
40:33 At least I had Allie figured out, I thought.
40:36 Bet you'll never make that mistake again.
40:40 Elizabeth, you...
40:47 There's...
40:49 something.
40:53 [dance music playing]
40:56 Ah, it sounds like the man of the hour is being summoned.
41:08 Oh, boy.
41:10 Well, uh, it's Alvin.
