00:03 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:05 - Previously on "When Calls the Heart."
00:06 - I'm so sorry for interrupting.
00:09 - I'm going to fail every math test.
00:11 I just can't get it.
00:13 - The base of the mountain belongs to the township
00:15 of Benson Hills, not Hope Valley.
00:17 - I don't think in good conscience
00:18 we can rule out Montague as a mastermind.
00:21 - I couldn't have said it better myself.
00:23 - I just hope we're able to go back to being friends.
00:25 - I believe in this resort wholeheartedly.
00:27 I need to stay in Hope Valley until this is all sorted out.
00:31 I'm not going anywhere.
00:32 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:36 - The governor's Easter address.
00:38 It all sounds very official.
00:40 - I don't even know why he invited us.
00:42 This is a radio speech.
00:43 What does he need a live audience for?
00:45 - He said it's to remind him he's
00:47 speaking to real people, including his constituents
00:50 listening at home.
00:51 - Mom, could I come listen to my speech
00:54 instead of going to daycare?
00:56 - No, honey bear, there won't be any other children there.
00:58 And then mommy has to go to school.
01:00 - Then can I come to school with you?
01:01 Next year I'll be big enough to go all the time.
01:04 - Oh, he's right.
01:07 Somebody's growing up.
01:10 You know, today we're decorating Easter eggs at school.
01:12 So I think it would be a egg-cellent morning for you
01:15 to come.
01:15 But then straight to daycare, all right?
01:17 - Yay.
01:18 - Yay.
01:18 - Yay.
01:19 - Yay.
01:19 [LAUGHTER]
01:21 [CHATTER]
01:22 - Thank you.
01:23 - You're welcome.
01:23 - Thanks.
01:24 - Thank you.
01:24 - Thank you.
01:25 [CHATTER]
01:28 - So do you think there'll be a Thanksgiving speech too?
01:30 - Yeah, a Christmas one.
01:32 - Oh, don't forget New Year's.
01:33 [LAUGHTER]
01:35 - What do you think this is about?
01:37 - Might have something to do with a certain Easter bunny.
01:40 [CHATTER]
01:42 - Excuse me.
01:46 - Oh, Bill.
01:48 I meant to tell you I have an idea on how
01:50 to get Lucas to remember.
01:53 - Remember what?
01:54 - Well, how he was shot, of course.
01:56 What else?
01:56 - I thought that pike guy shot him.
01:58 - Well--
01:59 - If you believe the papers.
02:00 - You mean the Beatle.
02:02 Far be it for me to cast aspersions
02:04 on a fellow journalist.
02:05 Where was I?
02:06 Yes.
02:07 We could try hypnosis.
02:11 - Oh, hey.
02:11 It worked for Sherlock Holmes.
02:13 - Rosemary, hypnosis is frowned upon in medical circles.
02:16 It's unreliable and potentially even dangerous.
02:19 - So he's having a murderer running around free.
02:21 - Murderer?
02:22 - What?
02:22 - An attempted murderer, sweetheart.
02:25 It's just a theory.
02:26 - Ladies and gentlemen, the governor
02:31 is ready to begin his broadcast.
02:34 [APPLAUSE]
02:37 - Thank you, everyone.
02:39 - Three, two--
02:40 - This is Governor Lucas Bouchard speaking to you
02:46 from my hometown of Hope Valley.
02:48 Easter is a time of new beginnings.
02:51 And on that theme, I am pleased to announce the building
02:55 of 1,000 new homes, apartments, and row houses
03:00 affordable to working people who will
03:02 be part of the expansion of the Cape Fullerton Harbor.
03:05 [APPLAUSE]
03:09 And closer to home, we are accepting proposals
03:12 to build one of the most ambitious developments ever
03:15 seen in our great territory, the Hope Valley Resort.
03:19 [APPLAUSE]
03:23 But I'm not forgetting our youngest citizens.
03:26 I'm delighted to proclaim the first annual Governor's Easter
03:30 Egg Hunt right here in Hope Valley.
03:33 I know it will be a turnout the likes of which
03:35 we have never seen.
03:37 Thank you, everyone, and happy Easter.
03:39 [APPLAUSE]
03:46 - Should we go congratulate him?
03:47 - Yes.
03:47 - Yeah.
03:48 - Well, look at that.
03:50 - I have to hand it to those two.
03:52 They're being very adult about this.
03:54 Seems like they moved on amicably.
03:57 - Yes.
03:57 Yes, it does.
03:59 - Although I know things would be easier for you
04:01 if Lucas was in Capital City.
04:06 - Makes no difference to me.
04:07 [MUSIC PLAYING]
04:11 [INAUDIBLE]
04:14 [MUSIC PLAYING]
04:18 [MUSIC PLAYING]
04:22 [MUSIC PLAYING]
04:25 [MUSIC PLAYING]
04:54 - So you seem to be in the know with this whole Easter Egg Hunt.
04:58 - Lucas consulted with me about it.
05:00 He had some pretty grand notions.
05:03 - Such as?
05:05 - Oh, picture Edwin in a giant bunny costume.
05:10 - I love it.
05:11 I would love to see that.
05:12 - Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you,
05:14 but I convinced Lucas not to do that.
05:17 - What?
05:18 Oh, you're no fun.
05:19 - Excuse me.
05:20 I am a lot of fun.
05:22 But it is my job to remind Lucas to keep things simple.
05:27 - So he gave you like an actual job?
05:31 - It's more self-appointed.
05:33 - Let's see.
05:34 Well, in that case, I would like to thank you.
05:37 Your constituents would like to thank you.
05:39 The great town of Hope Valley thanks you.
05:41 I know Edwin thanks you.
05:44 You're going the wrong way.
05:45 School's back this way.
05:46 - I have to go to the daycare to pick up Jack.
05:48 I'm bringing him with me to school today.
05:50 - Oh, well, lucky him.
05:52 [MUSIC PLAYING]
05:55 - Um, you, uh, you let me know if you need
05:57 any help with, uh, with the hunt.
06:00 - That would be nice.
06:01 Thank you.
06:02 [MUSIC PLAYING]
06:05 [SIGHS]
06:06 [MUSIC PLAYING]
06:10 - Let's just say for the sake of argument
06:13 that Montague was involved in the shooting.
06:16 - Mm-hmm.
06:16 - What would be your next step?
06:18 - Well, that would be up to Lucas.
06:20 - What's up to me?
06:21 - Lucas.
06:22 Don't suppose you've remembered anything?
06:24 - You will be the first to know, Rosemary.
06:26 But currently, I'm focusing on the future and not the past.
06:29 Bill, I need you to attend a meeting
06:31 with the mayor of Benson Hills.
06:32 - Mayor of-- is this about the resort?
06:35 - I warned Edwin that half of the property
06:37 who sold the territory was in the township of Benson Hills.
06:40 - I'm sure he took full responsibility
06:41 for the misunderstanding.
06:43 - Which is why we need to get them on board pronto.
06:46 And you're the mayor of Hope Valley.
06:47 - Acting mayor.
06:49 - Well, I'd still like you to be there.
06:50 - Well, I don't want me to be there.
06:52 It sounds like a bunch of hot air.
06:54 - Well, Michael is still officially the mayor,
06:57 aren't you?
06:58 - Oh, but I can't meet with the mayor of Benson Hills.
07:01 - Why not?
07:02 - Have you not heard any of my stories
07:04 about my five overbearing sisters, one of whom
07:06 was just elected mayor of Benson Hills?
07:09 I was just complaining about this last week at poker.
07:12 - No one listens during poker.
07:14 - Listen, Mike, this is perfect.
07:15 You have a family in.
07:17 - You don't understand.
07:18 Maisie is impossible to reason with.
07:21 - What, are you afraid of her?
07:23 - Yes.
07:24 Yes, I am.
07:25 - I know.
07:26 Lee will go with you.
07:27 - I will?
07:29 Good idea.
07:30 - Sounds like a dream team to me.
07:32 Mayor Maisie will be here this afternoon.
07:34 - All right, you two have fun.
07:38 - But, hey.
07:39 (gentle music)
07:45 (children chattering)
07:49 - All right, Jack.
07:51 Now we just leave it there for a minute to dry.
07:54 - Is this what you do at school every day, Mom?
07:57 - No, not exactly.
08:00 Most days we're learning about reading
08:02 and arithmetic, science.
08:05 - More eggs?
08:07 - Thank you so much, Minnie.
08:08 Just in time.
08:09 We've already gone through the first batch.
08:10 - Oh, I'm very impressed.
08:13 - Sarah, your egg isn't dry yet.
08:15 You're going to turn the yellow into orange.
08:18 - Girls, is there a problem over there?
08:20 - Talia's egg will make the dye green.
08:23 - Jack, I'll be right back, okay?
08:24 - But I need your help.
08:26 - I'll help you, Jack.
08:27 - Thank you, Allie.
08:28 Now, girls, have we tried listening
08:35 to each other's point of view
08:36 to see if there's a compromise to be had?
08:39 - What if we divide the yellow
08:42 and make a green bowl and an orange bowl?
08:46 - That is a great idea.
08:49 - Deal.
08:50 - You know, that is pretty good advice
08:54 for Pop and his brother, what Miss Soten said.
08:56 - I completely agree.
08:58 - Toby.
09:06 Oh my goodness.
09:08 These are so beautiful.
09:11 - This is how my mother showed me to decorate Easter eggs.
09:14 The way they did it when she was growing up
09:16 in the old country.
09:17 I brought some to copy.
09:19 - Do you think you could show us how?
09:20 - First, trace a wax circle making two halves.
09:24 And then add one more circle making four parts.
09:29 - Like quarters?
09:30 - Right, quarters.
09:31 Then trace a wax circle going through the middle.
09:34 - And how many parts is that?
09:36 - Eight.
09:37 And then divide it one more time.
09:40 - How many is that?
09:41 - 16.
09:42 - So each wedge is?
09:46 - 116.
09:47 - Toby, you just divided fractions.
09:51 So what do you think of school?
09:58 - It's fun.
09:59 But.
10:02 - But?
10:03 - It's like you're everybody's mom.
10:09 - I may be everyone's teacher, but I am only your mom.
10:13 And that is the most important thing I will ever be.
10:16 Love you.
10:18 - Love you too.
10:19 - Jack, there's gonna be an Easter egg hunt.
10:24 - I know, I can't wait.
10:26 - I like your wings, Lily.
10:28 Is it a special occasion?
10:29 - Oh no, she just insisted.
10:32 - There you two are.
10:33 Wanna come play with the other children?
10:35 - Sure, bye mom.
10:36 - Bye Jack.
10:37 - Bye Auntie Faith.
10:39 - Have fun.
10:40 - Lily seems to be adjusting well.
10:44 And you?
10:45 - Oh, I'm fine.
10:47 Although did I just make the right decision
10:49 letting her wear her fairy wings to daycare?
10:51 I know she loves them,
10:52 I just wanna make sure the other kids don't tease her.
10:54 - I'm sure they won't.
10:56 A little individuality is a good thing.
10:58 - No, I think so too.
10:59 I don't know what I did before Lily.
11:03 - Being a working parent isn't easy.
11:07 - I can hardly call myself a parent.
11:10 - Caregiver then.
11:11 Either way, it's just as much work and joy.
11:15 - You know, Elizabeth, I've never had so much fun.
11:19 (laughing)
11:21 - You're a lot of fun.
11:22 - Bill.
11:28 Ned said a package arrived for you
11:31 from the mountains in Capital City.
11:33 So do tell, what's in it?
11:34 - Remind me to have a conversation with Ned about privacy.
11:37 - This all looks very intriguing.
11:38 - I called in a favor.
11:40 Got ahold of the case file on Pike.
11:43 - Well, that is great news.
11:45 This is a real scoop.
11:48 Bill, we are going to get to the bottom of this in a jiffy.
11:50 I just know it.
11:52 - These are the fingerprints that were found
11:53 in the gun that was used to shoot Lucas.
11:55 - Well, how do we know?
11:56 Can we be sure this is the gun?
11:58 - The ballistics check out.
12:00 The prints belong to Clayton Pike.
12:02 - So you're saying he did it.
12:05 - Look again.
12:06 (suspenseful music)
12:08 These fingerprints, they're only on the grip.
12:12 - Well, that doesn't make any sense.
12:14 If Pike loaded the gun,
12:15 his prints would be all over the chamber and the barrel
12:17 from cocking and loading.
12:19 I once played Annie Oakley off-Broadway.
12:22 - Someone claimed this gun.
12:24 At best, there'd be a partial print left,
12:26 not a perfect set like we have.
12:28 - So someone tampered with the prints on the gun.
12:31 - To make it look like Pike was the shooter,
12:33 which would indicate he wasn't.
12:35 - So you're saying Pike was framed or took the fall.
12:40 For whom?
12:42 Let me guess.
12:44 Montague.
12:46 - Or someone he hired.
12:47 (dramatic music)
12:56 (car engine rumbling)
12:59 - Excuse me, but you can't park there.
13:10 - Oh, I'm so sorry.
13:11 Only I'm a close friend of the owner's.
13:13 Surely I'll be all right.
13:14 - Oh, you're a friend of Lee's?
13:17 - Lee?
13:18 - Yes, he just bought the place from Governor Bouchard.
13:21 - Aren't I behind the times?
13:23 (gentle music)
13:26 - So how long have you known Lucas?
13:29 - Oh, we go way back.
13:33 - It's funny he doesn't talk much about his past.
13:35 - I suppose that's only why,
13:37 especially since becoming governor.
13:40 - And where did you say you know him from?
13:42 - How would I go about getting a room?
13:45 - Hickam, this lady would like to check in.
13:48 - Oh, of course.
13:49 Welcome.
13:53 Please sign here.
13:54 How long will you be staying?
13:56 - A few minutes.
13:58 - She's a friend of Lucas's.
13:59 - Oh, really?
14:00 Welcome, Miss O'Con...
14:05 - O'Quinn, Jeanette O'Quinn.
14:10 - I know that name.
14:13 The old widow Jeanette?
14:14 - Not sure I'd use those words.
14:18 - Lucas's friend from New Orleans.
14:19 - Oh, right.
14:21 New Orleans was ages ago.
14:23 - Jeanette?
14:25 - Surprise, sherry.
14:30 It's me.
14:32 - It's so nice to finally meet you.
14:33 We've heard so much about you.
14:35 Or, well, not that much, really.
14:39 - Don't you two have that thing
14:40 that you need to take care of?
14:42 - I'd be interested in hearing more.
14:43 - Not today, gentlemen.
14:45 Jeanette, would you follow me?
14:47 - It's nice to see you too.
14:50 (gentle music)
14:52 - Say, who's that?
14:57 Jeanette O'Quinn?
14:58 - Lucas's old friend.
15:00 - You don't say?
15:03 (gentle music)
15:10 - You could at least have given me a warning.
15:14 - You used to love surprises.
15:16 - Only when I'm the one doing the surprising.
15:18 - That was when I saw a photo of you and your fiance
15:22 in one of your cute local papers.
15:24 Were you going to invite me to the wedding?
15:26 - Oops.
15:27 - No.
15:28 It was called off, wasn't it?
15:30 - Let's leave Elizabeth out of this.
15:32 Last I heard, you were working for the Treasury Department.
15:37 - Let's just say we had mutual interests.
15:40 - So you were an informant.
15:42 - You know how that goes, darling.
15:45 Thank you for leaving me at the least opportune moment.
15:48 - Couldn't be helped.
15:50 - So, what kind of trouble can I bail you
15:55 out of this time, Jeanette?
15:56 - Actually, I'm here to bid on your resort.
15:59 - And why would you be doing that?
16:01 - As it happens, I was in Cape Fullerton on business.
16:04 I represent a group of high net worth investors there.
16:08 - I've heard that before.
16:09 - Lucas, I've gone straight, just like you.
16:15 I swear it, this group is completely on the level.
16:19 (laughing)
16:21 So if I have this right, you supply the land,
16:28 we build the resort and run it,
16:30 then we split the profits?
16:31 - Yes, that's correct.
16:35 However, this really isn't a good time.
16:38 The train leaves in 20 minutes.
16:40 - I came by car.
16:41 - Even better.
16:42 Let me walk you out.
16:45 (gentle music)
16:47 - Oh, look.
16:48 Seems I've already checked in.
16:51 - Hi, Mike.
16:55 Have you seen Lucas?
16:57 I need to stop him from going overboard
16:58 with chocolate bunnies.
16:59 - You know Lucas, he thinks big.
17:03 - Right, that's what I was afraid of.
17:04 Sometimes less is more.
17:06 - Just try telling him that.
17:08 Oh, he's right.
17:12 About one thing, everybody loves chocolate.
17:15 - I'm just gonna go see if he's in his office.
17:19 - Isn't it weird that Easter involves bunnies and eggs?
17:24 - Now that you mention it, I suppose.
17:28 - Yeah.
17:28 Well, I'll make sure to let him know
17:32 that you were here about the bunnies.
17:34 - Thanks, Mike.
17:36 I appreciate it.
17:39 - Elizabeth, hi.
17:41 - There you are.
17:42 About the chocolate bunnies.
17:45 - Yes, I've already ordered them.
17:46 Don't worry, 100% done.
17:48 - Right, but Florence mentioned
17:50 that you ordered the large ones.
17:51 - Yes, I certainly did.
17:53 - The children would really be happy
17:54 with ones half that size, as would their parents.
17:57 So if you don't mind calling Florence, I'm sure-
17:59 - I'm on it.
18:00 - Why are you acting so nervous?
18:04 - I'm not acting nervous.
18:06 I'm very busy.
18:09 - All right, then I will see you at the egg hunt.
18:12 - Great.
18:13 I'll make that call.
18:14 - Thank you.
18:15 - What was all that?
18:21 - If anyone asks, anyone, I'm unavailable.
18:24 - To hold you over until dinner.
18:31 - Oh, thank you.
18:32 I'll try not to be too late.
18:34 - Seems they always have a lot to say
18:35 at the Jameson Bible class.
18:37 - They do like to argue.
18:39 - Mrs. Thornton says every argument
18:41 can be settled if people listen.
18:43 - I think that's true.
18:45 - Have you ever tried listening to your brother?
18:47 - Can't listen if you won't speak to me, coop.
18:51 I'll see y'all later tonight.
18:52 - Bye. - Bye.
18:54 - Bye, kids.
18:55 - Bye. - Bye.
19:07 - Oh, Michael, come on.
19:09 You're gonna wear a hole in the carpet.
19:10 Your sister cannot possibly be that bad.
19:13 - Don't say I didn't warn you.
19:14 I have a feeling this whole thing
19:16 is going to be a huge waste of our time
19:19 to say hello to my sister, Lee.
19:23 - Oh, Michael, how many times have I told you
19:24 that blue simply washes you out?
19:26 - Gee, Maisie, I don't know, 150 million?
19:31 - Oh.
19:32 - Mary Hickam, pleased to finally meet you.
19:35 Lee Lynn Coulter.
19:36 - Nice to meet you.
19:38 - Afraid to take me on by yourself, Michael?
19:40 (Michael laughs)
19:44 - Well, on that note,
19:44 why don't we have a seat and get started?
19:47 - Let's do that.
19:48 The new access road replacing the hiking trail
19:57 will come through on the Benson Hillside
19:59 of the mountain, of course.
20:00 - So you'll get all of the tourists?
20:03 - Exactly.
20:04 - Maisie, you can't just make pronouncements like that.
20:07 This is supposed to be a negotiation.
20:09 We can build two roads, one from each side.
20:14 - Sorry, this one is non-negotiable.
20:16 - Okay, why don't we just table that one
20:21 for the time being and move along?
20:24 - The name will be the Benson Hills Resort.
20:27 - That's ridiculous.
20:28 The resort site is on the Hope Valley side of the property.
20:31 - Oh, you can't expect me to sit here
20:33 and agree to the Hope Valley Resort.
20:36 - You know what, I'm beginning to think
20:37 I can't get you to agree to anything at all.
20:39 - And I think that this has been a colossal waste of my time.
20:44 - Michael, can you reason with her?
20:45 She's your sister, do something.
20:47 - Oh, believe me, she's going easy on you.
20:50 - It is a colossal waste of my time
20:53 because it seems that none of you
20:54 have considered the downside to this resort.
20:57 - What exactly is the downside?
21:00 - Who's to say that this does not become a magnet
21:03 for undesirables?
21:04 - Oh.
21:05 - And criminals and rum runners.
21:08 - Rum runners?
21:09 - This resort is for families.
21:12 - And that's what they thought in Louis Creek
21:14 and look what happened there.
21:16 Decent person can't walk down the street in safety anymore.
21:19 I wanna know what guarantee you can offer
21:23 that the same won't happen here.
21:24 So I suspected none.
21:35 (gentle music)
21:37 - Why don't we take a break?
21:40 For the evening.
21:42 - A week?
21:43 - How about a year?
21:44 - What's the point in writing Uncle Jacob a letter?
21:48 He probably doesn't even know who we are.
21:50 - That's why I'm writing it like it's from dad.
21:53 - Oh my gosh, my dad would be so mad at me if I did that.
21:56 - I'm sure ours will be too.
21:58 - What's the worst that can happen?
22:00 They're already not talking to each other.
22:02 - Your dad could stop talking to you
22:05 or he can wind up thanking me.
22:06 My mama told us he lives in Aberdeen.
22:09 Are you sure you can find the address?
22:11 - The telephone exchange there should have it.
22:14 Ready to head home?
22:15 - Coming, mama.
22:15 - Hey, guess who checked into the hotel today?
22:24 Do you remember the name Jeanette?
22:26 - Jeanette? No, it doesn't ring a bell.
22:28 - Okay, how about Amos?
22:29 - Oh, Lee, it's too late for this.
22:31 - Come on, you remember when Elizabeth
22:32 was held hostage in the saloon?
22:34 - Yes, Lucas's Jeanette.
22:39 - Yes.
22:40 - Oh, Amos Dixon.
22:41 Oh my goodness, I must be tired if I forgot about that.
22:44 Now, Jeanette called Lucas to warn him
22:48 about that awful fellow.
22:50 She's an old widow from New Orleans
22:52 that he knew he got her out of some jam, I think.
22:54 - Believe you me, the widow Jeanette
22:57 is no helpless little old lady.
22:59 - Oh, well, do tell.
23:00 - She could be a screen czar.
23:02 - Leland, Colter.
23:04 - What?
23:04 - I'm the screen czar in Hope Valley.
23:07 - I think what I meant to say was she could be an actor,
23:10 like a character actor, where you,
23:12 is you would be the leading lady.
23:15 (laughing)
23:17 - Oh, all right.
23:21 Well, hmm, that is interesting though.
23:25 So Lucas was not being entirely truthful
23:29 about his damsel in distress.
23:32 I have to go talk to Elizabeth about this right now.
23:35 - You do realize, of course,
23:39 that it is the middle of the night
23:40 and you're wearing your nightgown.
23:42 - Yes, when has that ever stopped me?
23:43 - That's a good point.
23:44 However, Elizabeth might be sleeping
23:47 and Jack most certainly will be sleeping.
23:50 - Ah.
23:53 (sighing)
23:55 (phone ringing)
23:57 - Good day.
24:09 - Hello, may I help you?
24:11 - I don't often indulge myself like this,
24:13 but I wonder if I might have a cup of vanilla ice cream.
24:17 - One of my favorite breakfasts.
24:19 - Mm.
24:20 - Are you in town for the Easter egg hunt?
24:22 - No, no, I just happen to be passing through.
24:25 You obviously can't spot a stranger.
24:27 - Sorry, I didn't mean--
24:29 - No, think nothing of it.
24:31 It speaks highly of you that you know your clientele
24:34 well enough to, hmm, spot a newcomer.
24:37 - Well, getting to know people is what I love
24:40 about this job.
24:41 - And have you been doing it long?
24:43 - A couple of years.
24:44 I came from Chicago.
24:46 I am the town pharmacist
24:47 and I also run the salon temporarily for a friend.
24:51 We do facials and mud masks.
24:53 - Mud masks?
24:55 - Yeah, my grandmother's recipe.
24:57 - Ah, oh, how simply divine.
25:00 Huh?
25:01 A generational sharing of wisdom.
25:03 - Here.
25:05 Mike.
25:08 Is everything okay?
25:11 - What are you doing here?
25:12 - Mike, this nice lady is a customer?
25:15 - No, she is not.
25:16 - I haven't properly introduced myself.
25:20 I'm Maisie Hickam.
25:21 - Oh, you're--
25:25 - Maisie, why are you here?
25:27 We don't meet again until next week.
25:29 - What kind of girl enjoy treat?
25:31 So you're not here by accident.
25:34 - Mom, she told you about me, didn't she?
25:40 - You told your mom about me?
25:43 - Well, yeah.
25:46 Is that okay?
25:47 - Sure, of course, yes.
25:49 (gentle music)
25:52 - Michael, you should really bring me home to meet mother.
26:00 - I used to love hunting for Easter eggs.
26:09 - Oh yeah?
26:10 I bet you were good at it.
26:12 - My basket usually had a few more eggs than my sister's,
26:15 but I was always willing to share.
26:19 Nathan. - Yeah?
26:25 - That is way too high.
26:26 - Well, you can't make it too easy for them.
26:28 - You can't make it too hard either.
26:30 How are the smaller children supposed to reach that high?
26:33 - I think if somebody wants something bad enough,
26:40 they'll figure it out.
26:45 But if there's a chance they could get hurt.
26:48 - Well, I guess they just have to decide
26:52 if it's worth it or not.
26:53 - Well, a chocolate egg definitely isn't worth it.
27:01 So if you would excuse me.
27:04 - Yeah, I...
27:04 Elizabeth, I can do that.
27:08 - I got it.
27:09 - Well, just be careful.
27:09 I...
27:14 (all gasp)
27:17 - Sorry.
27:21 - Dad?
27:23 Mrs. Thornton?
27:24 - Back here.
27:26 - Hi.
27:27 Hi, Allie.
27:31 Where's Jack?
27:32 - In the cafe with Angela and Cooper.
27:36 He wants to know when the Easter egg hunt's gonna start.
27:40 - Oh, that'll be... - So...
27:43 - Soon. - Soon.
27:45 (gentle music)
27:46 - Okay.
27:47 - I should... - Yeah.
27:58 - Yeah, yeah.
27:59 Okay.
28:04 (gentle music)
28:07 (Jack chuckles)
28:16 - I'll get that.
28:17 - Good morning, sherry.
28:20 - Still here, I see.
28:23 - Just until I make my bid.
28:26 - I wouldn't bother making a bid if I were you.
28:29 - Why not?
28:30 - Because I know what kind of people
28:32 your investors are.
28:33 - I told you, my investors are on the level.
28:38 - I'm sorry, but this project
28:40 will be completely above board.
28:42 I've changed, Jeanette.
28:45 I'm not like you.
28:47 - I've told you.
28:49 I've changed too.
28:53 - No.
28:55 - Hello.
29:01 Jeanette O'Quon, I presume?
29:03 Rosemary Coulter of the Valley Voice.
29:05 - Pleasure.
29:06 Rosemary, I apologize, we're just--
29:07 - You've become quite a legend around Hope Valley, you know?
29:10 - Have I?
29:11 What on earth have you been telling people about me?
29:14 - Nothing, I assure you.
29:16 Rosemary's are something I can help you with.
29:19 - You haven't seen Elizabeth.
29:24 Have you?
29:28 - I have not.
29:30 - Oh.
29:31 Fine.
29:34 Elizabeth.
29:44 She's a school teacher, isn't she?
29:48 Your erstwhile fiance.
29:52 - That's really none of your concern.
29:54 Submit your bid if you must.
29:58 Then you can be on your way.
30:00 (gentle music)
30:03 - Children, the Easter economy is starting soon.
30:13 - Elizabeth. - What?
30:14 - Oh, there is someone who has come to town
30:16 that I think you might be interested in knowing about.
30:18 Someone connected to Luke.
30:21 - Who? - Mama!
30:22 - Sweetheart, you look so handsome.
30:26 - We'll have to wait until later.
30:30 - Okay, but we do need to talk about Anneche
30:33 at the Alunce.
30:35 - But Rosemary-- - Oh!
30:36 - Mama!
30:37 - I tried to get the ears on her,
30:39 but she wouldn't go for it.
30:40 - Oh my goodness, our little Easter bunny.
30:42 - Oh, there he is. - You look so cute.
30:45 - Oh. - Lily and I are ready.
30:48 - Hey, very cute.
30:51 You do realize, of course,
30:53 that the Easter egg hunt is for the kids.
30:55 - Of course.
30:58 - Two baskets?
31:00 - That just means you'll have to fill both of them up
31:05 with all the eggs.
31:07 - Okay, Auntie Faye.
31:08 Can we still hunt together?
31:10 - Of course.
31:12 - The sooner we start hunting--
31:13 - The sooner we get to the chocolate.
31:14 (children cheering)
31:17 - Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls,
31:23 welcome to the first annual Governor's Easter egg hunt.
31:28 May I present Governor Lucas Bouchard.
31:30 (audience applauding)
31:33 - Thank you, thank you everyone, thank you.
31:40 This is a great turnout on a beautiful day.
31:43 Kids, are you ready?
31:45 - Yes. - Yes.
31:46 - Woo! - Yeah.
31:47 - Without further ado, I declare the Easter egg hunt
31:50 open.
31:53 (children cheering)
31:55 - Oh, look at the eggs, look at the Easter eggs.
31:59 - Okay, okay.
32:00 - Okay, we have just a minute, Jack.
32:03 - Lucas, is there something I should know about?
32:07 - No, no, I don't think so.
32:12 Hey, have fun, buddy.
32:13 We'll find those eggs.
32:22 (upbeat music)
32:25 - Yes!
32:31 - Don't you need to help the other kids,
32:34 like at school, Mom?
32:36 - No, sweetheart, right now I am all yours.
32:39 - Goldie, Goldie, I have some eggs over here.
32:43 Come here, sweetie pie, come on.
32:45 Take Daddy's hand, there you go, come on, come on.
32:50 - Rosemary, what was it you wanted
32:51 to talk with me about earlier?
32:52 - Hi, Jack.
32:55 - Lily.
32:55 - Oh, sorry.
32:56 - Ooh.
33:01 Ooh.
33:02 There you go.
33:06 - Oh, honey.
33:07 - Good girl.
33:10 - Mike, your sister's great.
33:17 - You don't think it was a little nosy of her
33:18 to come all the way from Benson Hills to spy on you?
33:21 - Well, when you put it that way,
33:23 it's kind of flattering, and I like her.
33:26 - Well, I could tell she likes you too.
33:28 But who wouldn't?
33:31 You make me feel like I can do everything right.
33:35 She makes me feel like I do everything wrong,
33:39 down to the color of the shirt I wear.
33:41 - Hmm.
33:44 You listen to me, Mike.
33:47 Your problem is that you don't know how wonderful you are.
33:52 And capable.
33:55 And brilliant.
33:57 And handsome.
34:01 And lovable.
34:05 - May.
34:09 I really wanna kiss you right now.
34:14 Would that be okay?
34:15 (gentle music)
34:18 Under here?
34:29 - Maybe.
34:30 I think I see one.
34:32 - Take that egg.
34:36 What do you think, anything in it?
34:38 Yeah.
34:40 Nothing.
34:42 - Nothing in there. - Nothing in there.
34:45 (footsteps thudding)
34:48 - A receipt showing your bid has been duly received?
34:53 - When should we expect to hear?
34:56 - Very soon.
34:58 Assuming your investors can pass a background check.
35:00 - Lucas, take this seriously.
35:03 - Why are you really here?
35:06 - Believe it or not, I still care about you.
35:13 I'm no longer living that life.
35:15 I'm sorry.
35:17 - Thank you for your bid, Mr. O'Quinn.
35:19 (door thudding)
35:20 (gentle music)
35:23 (engine rumbling)
35:41 (gentle music)
35:44 - I'm going to go help Olive.
35:57 - Have fun.
35:58 - Wait for me.
35:59 - Elizabeth.
36:03 - Hello.
36:05 Have we met?
36:06 - No, but it's high time we did.
36:08 I'm Jeanette.
36:09 You're...
36:11 Jeanette.
36:13 We have so much in common.
36:14 Well, at least one thing.
36:17 Lucas was showered.
36:19 You see, I was once engaged to him too.
36:22 Ah, I suppose it's time I go.
36:31 - Well, it was so nice to have finally met you.
36:35 Safe travels.
36:36 (gentle music)
36:38 (gentle music)
36:41 (speaking in foreign language)
36:50 (gentle music)
36:53 (car door thudding)
37:05 (gentle music)
37:07 - Poor widow Jeanette.
37:12 So this is why you've been acting so strange?
37:25 - Acting strange?
37:26 No, I am.
37:27 - You didn't want us to meet.
37:29 - I think we got 'em all.
37:31 Can we get our chocolate bunnies now?
37:34 - Of course.
37:35 I declare the hunt officially over.
37:39 (whistle blowing)
37:40 (crowd cheering)
37:42 (gentle music)
37:45 - Oh, I do hope that Lee is able
38:03 to get Jack and Goldie down for a nap.
38:05 After all that excitement, ay-yi-yi.
38:07 Elizabeth, I must say,
38:12 you're handling all of this very well.
38:14 I mean, just think, Lucas was in love with that woman.
38:19 - I suppose I always knew he had a past,
38:22 but finding out he wasn't honest with me about Jeanette,
38:26 I just, I don't understand why he felt
38:29 like he couldn't give me the whole truth.
38:32 - I bet he was probably afraid of what you'd think of him.
38:35 He does put you on a pedestal.
38:38 - Maybe that was part of our problem.
38:42 I don't want to be on a pedestal.
38:43 I prefer my feet on the ground, thank you very much.
38:46 No, I think I'm happy to have met Jeanette today.
38:50 Now I don't have to feel--
38:53 - Guilty for breaking his heart?
38:55 - Rosemary, I think his heart
38:56 is a bit more resilient than that.
38:58 After all, I wasn't the first.
39:01 - But you're certainly the best.
39:02 - Thank you so much for offering to cover for me, Allie.
39:09 I have a pot roast, I am very eager to get started.
39:12 - No problem at all, Mrs. Yost.
39:14 Oh, if there's a problem, call Mr. Yost.
39:18 - Will do.
39:19 Bye. - Bye-bye.
39:21 - Okay, guys.
39:25 (gentle music)
39:28 - Oh, hello, Aberdeen Exchange?
39:36 Can you help me find an address?
39:38 The name is Jacob Canfield.
39:42 25 Linden Street?
39:48 Thank you.
39:48 Got it? - Got it.
39:52 25 Linden Street, Aberdeen.
39:55 - Sure you guys aren't gonna get into trouble?
39:57 - It's worth it if we do.
39:59 Cooper's right, it's too important.
40:01 (knocking)
40:14 - Hi. - Hi.
40:22 - Hi.
40:23 I'm sorry to bother you so late, it's just I...
40:27 You were right, it was way too high.
40:34 None of the kids could get it.
40:35 (laughing)
40:38 I thought it best to go back to the person
40:40 who risked life and limb for it.
40:43 (laughing)
40:45 (gentle music)
40:47 (gentle music)
40:50 - I guess sometimes a chocolate egg is worth the risk.
40:56 - So, Jeanette?
41:03 - Jeanette?
41:03 Not what I expected.
41:08 I have to admit, I was a little shocked.
41:12 - Yeah, I bet.
41:16 - And I have to admit that I felt bad for Lucas.
41:19 Just being caught out like that in front of everybody.
41:22 - Mama!
41:23 I have to-- - Yeah, no way.
41:32 I know.
41:33 - Goodnight.
41:36 - Goodnight.
41:37 (gentle music)
41:40 (gentle music)
41:42 (gentle music)
41:45 - I will...
42:00 Firmly believe.
42:03 Jeanette, she's with you.
42:08 (gentle music)
42:10 (gentle music)
42:33 (gentle music)
42:35 (gentle music)
42:43 (gentle music)
42:50 (gentle music)
