When Calls the Heart

Jack and Elizabeth get a fresh start; a surprise guest for Abigail; Rosemary and Lee have an adventure; an unwanted visitor from Pastor Hogan's past; new beginnings for the town make this a very special New Year's celebration.

In the wake of the capture of rogue Mountie James Houston, the townsfolk prepare for the New Year’s celebration. As Elizabeth and Jack come together over Rip, Frank warns Jesse, a young man from his criminal past, to leave town, Cody grows worried over his sister’s declining health, and Lee bends to Rosemary’s will—until he doesn’t.

Elizabeth surprises Jack with a home of her own as Abigail learns of Gowen's latest greedy scheme and Frank's past quickly closes in on him.

Elizabeth, Jack, and Abigail persuade the townsfolk to retain Frank as their pastor after he’s revealed to be a former bandit, and Rosemary has the mistaken notion that Lee is struggling financially and decides to help him economize to comical effect.

Elizabeth helps a new student gain acceptance; Jack helps Elizabeth write and works towards helping a young couple reunite; Frank and Abigail help some settlers; Rosemary helps Hope Valley’s students by arranging a student dance; and Bill helps Lee by detecting sabotage at his mill.

As Jack prepares to take a big step toward building a life with Elizabeth, Abigail welcomes Becky back into her home before making an emotional decision about their future as a family.
