When Calls The Heart (2014) s06e09 Episode Script

1 Previously on "When Calls the Heart" Rosemary, Elizabeth told me you could use some help with the festival.
This is Spencer.
He's been through so much.
That's why the orphanage asked us to take him.
I want to make you happy.
For me to be happy, You have to be happy.
I know how much you want a child of your own.
What if it doesn't happen for us? We face it together.
Wow, it's really coming along in here.
I know.
I can hardly believe that the grand opening - is right around the corner.
- Yes.
I think you should have the honour at the ribbon cutting ceremony.
But you are the inspiration.
I'm looking for Lucas Bouchard.
Elizabeth? - Drop the weapon! - Ugh! [GRUNTS.]
[KNOCKING.]
Oh, Julie! How long has it been? How are you doing? Well, I'm good now.
You were meant to arrive yesterday.
I was beginning to worry.
I was waylaid but I wouldn't miss this for the world.
Imagine me, godmother.
I promise I'll be a great one.
I'm sure you will.
Where is little Jack? He's upstairs.
- May I see him? - Of course you may.
All right.
Now, you'll need to speak with Ned.
He's supplying the balloons.
Oh, he's waiting on the helium tank.
Oh, all right, and what else Jill Hayes has lemonade and doughnuts.
- Check.
- Oh, what about your hairstyling station? Oh, I'm teaching Clara the style tonight.
She's going to help me out with the hair booth so I have time to help you during the festival.
- Excellent.
- [GOAT BLEATS.]
Oh, Jed, Laura! Ohh, we are so excited about the petting zoo.
Now, how many of these baby animals do we have? We have two lambs, a couple kids, rabbits, puppies, and Princess, our miniature horse.
Now are you sure they're gonna be okay? 'Cause Laura's going to be helping Elizabeth for part of the day and I can't be away from my farm.
Have no fear, I already have the perfect person lined up to look after these little darlings.
[GIGGLES.]
Find me someone.
Mr.
Bouchard.
Good afternoon, ladies.
How are the library preparations? It's gonna be ready.
I see your cider tent is coming along.
Mm-hmm.
And you're still planning on entertaining the crowds with cards and magic tricks? Looking forward to it.
I just hope there are no unexpected surprises.
[SMALL LAUGH.]
Only the fun kind.
I promise.
Oh, Bill! We have you down as a judge for the pie-tasting contest.
Well, who's baking this year? Uh, well, we have Bertha and Florence confirmed, if she has time.
Oh, and I heard Wilma say she was going to enter - her apricot rhubarb pie.
- Oh.
Hmm.
Apricot rhubarb.
Well, that sounds interesting.
So, I can definitely count on you as a judge, Judge? [GIGGLES.]
Sure.
How bad can it be? Ah.
There's the spirit.
Speaking of spirit, I will see you at the christening this afternoon.
Yes, you will.
Only eight more booths to inspect.
Okay.
[KNOCKING.]
Hi.
Hi.
Sorry if I'm interrupting.
No, not at all.
I was just starting to set up for the christening.
Will you and Allie be there? Oh, yeah, we wouldn't miss it.
I I made you this.
You made that? I just-I wanted to give you something to say thank you.
You know, for everything you've done with Allie.
It's for the library.
It's perfect.
It's Emerson.
I remember you told me you liked Emerson.
Thank you, Nathan.
[BABY BABBLES.]
[LAUGHS.]
Hi.
(BABY VOICE) How are you? [LAUGHS.]
I wasn't expecting you to be here.
I was just finishing up.
I find that to be both inspirational and potentially reckless at the same time.
Like rushing into a burning building to save a friend? I just reacted.
Lucas.
I have a son.
And your past ties could have taken me from him.
I wouldn't have let anything happen to you.
Without fear and without hesitation.
I would have done whatever it took to keep you safe.
I mean, being a hero is kind of my thing now.
I really should be going.
- You have a big evening.
- Yes, I do.
Will we see you there? Yes, you will.
Good.
(LEE) The pleasure is all mine.
No, absolutely.
Well, we're always here for your lumber needs.
Okay, until then.
They received the final shipment, the contract is complete.
- We did it.
- We did it.
And I couldn't have done it without you.
Which leads me to my next order of business.
It's good he went down for his nap.
He'll be in better spirits for the christening.
Come sit.
You know mother, father and Viola all wished they could be here.
I know.
This christening came together so last minute.
But I didn't expect them to just magically appear from their trip to England.
The reason I was delayed was because when mother and father heard about it, they wired me very specific instructions to bring something for you.
Ohhhh Oh! Is this? The gown we wore to all our christenings.
Ohh.
They wanted little Jack to wear it on his special day.
Thank you.
Then you tuck it and pin it, like that.
Got it? Got it.
I can't thank you enough for helping me with the hair booth.
Oh, are you kidding? It's my pleasure.
Plus, now I have a spiffy new hairdo for the christening.
- Mm-hmm.
- Oh, and are you going to the dance tomorrow? I was planning on it.
Hmm.
That'll make Kevin very happy.
Kevin? - Mm-hmm.
- The blacksmith? Yes.
In case you hadn't noticed, he kinda likes you.
Hmm.
Well, he's very sweet.
Just a terrible dart player.
[LAUGHS.]
Clara! Oh, sorry, am I interrupting? We're just finishing up.
What's going on? - Lee gave me a promotion.
- [GASPS.]
You're looking at the new manager for Coulter Lumber.
Oh, Jesse, that's wonderful.
I'm very proud of you.
Thank you.
What's all this? Clara has graciously offered to help me with the hair booth at the festival.
Fancy, huh? You look beautiful.
[GIGGLES.]
[CHURCH BELL TOLLS.]
My name is Pastor Simon, and we are here today to partake in the holy sacrament, and to celebrate our happiness for this precious child.
Elizabeth.
Oh, I just wanted to thank you all so much for being here to share in this moment of joy.
And I look forward to your help in little Jack's life in the years to come.
Have you chosen guardians for your child? I have.
Have you chosen godparents for your child? I have.
Please, come forward.
With the help of God, will you aid and assist Elizabeth in raising her son? - I will.
- I will.
Will you be upstanding examples for little Jack? - I will.
- I will.
Will you walk with him through the way of Christ? (BILL & JULIE) I will.
And will you care for him and help him to find his place in life? (BILL & JULIE) I will.
Eternal Father, we ask that you pour your blessings into this water and sanctify it for our use today in Christ's name.
I baptize you in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
(CONGREGATION) Amen.
Little Jack, let me be the first to say that I wish you a long life.
And much happiness.
Go in the light and the peace of Christ.
Amen.
(CONGREGATION) Amen.
You did it.
Beautiful ceremony.
[CROWD CHATTERS HAPPILY.]
Somebody's getting tired.
Yeah.
Excuse me, I have some more presents.
Thank you so much.
Just over there.
I'll talk to you later.
Can I get you anything? Yes, actually, a coffee would be great.
It would.
Hi! Hey.
Um - Sorry, I'm late.
- No, it's fine.
Um, where's Allie? She's at a sleepover with Opal and a bunch of the other girls.
I am so happy she's making friends.
Yeah, well, me too, and that's thanks to you.
Well, I know it isn't always easy raising a child on your own.
Yes, it definitely has its challenges, as well as its joys.
Yes, I know.
This little man doesn't want to stay in his carriage.
I haven't been able to put him down all night.
Yeah, the ceremony was beautiful.
Thank you.
(ROSEMARY) Elizabeth, come over here.
Uh, I can watch baby Jack, if you want.
- Are you sure? - Yeah.
I mean, I think I could manage.
I am a Mountie.
Oh, right, I forgot babysitting was a part of your training.
Yeah, well, how hard can it be? Hi.
Thank you, I'll be right back.
Hey, it's okay.
Mom's gonna come back soon.
(NATHAN) Do you like funny faces? [SILLY SOUNDS.]
- [LAUGHING.]
- [SILLY SOUNDS.]
Hey, you like that? [SILLY SOUNDS.]
Peter was so glad that he rose from the floor and flew to the window.
"Where are you going?" "To tell the other boys," said Peter.
"But don't go, Peter.
"I have lots of other stories.
" I think it's time for you to go to bed.
No.
I'm not tired.
Please read some more.
Are you sure? Please? Okay, I'll get to the end of the next chapter, and then it's off to bed.
- Deal? - Deal.
Okay.
"Peter did it both slowly and quickly.
"I've got it now, cried Wendy" That was a big day for you, wasn't it? Sleep well, young man.
He will.
And so will I.
[LAUGHS.]
Oh, we're so lucky to have you both in our lives.
Not to mention right next door.
Same as us.
A thousand times over.
- Good night.
- Good night.
Sweetheart? You okay? Fine.
Remembering to count my blessings.
Hmm.
(ELIZABETH) All right, everyone.
Gather round for the grand opening of our library.
Counting down from three? [CROWD.]
Three, two, one [APPLAUSE.]
Come on, I want to show you the shelves I built.
Uh sure.
I'll take him from here, Laura.
Hi.
What do you think, Jack? Look at all the books.
I think he'll like this one.
Ohh "The Tale of Peter Rabbit".
Come on.
Look at the bunny in the watering can.
Come on, it's perfect, don't you think? There's my godson.
Do you have a cowboy section? Sure do.
It's right over there.
You're gonna love it.
[GIGGLES.]
[GIGGLES.]
Hi.
Okay, here you go.
These came in today.
Remember, for his size, one a day.
Got it.
All right, Spencer, you ready to go to the festival? Wait a minute.
Yup.
It's just as I thought.
He's running very low on fun.
Is it serious, doctor? It's way too serious.
Hmm? Nothing a good day at the festival won't fix.
Okay, let's go.
[CROWD CHATTERS.]
Rosemary, the second helium tank just arrived.
Oh, finally! Why, what's wrong? The whole town wants a balloon.
I'll fill, you tie.
Okay.
- Hey, Henry.
- Lee.
Thank you.
What's up with Henry? Looks like a man with two wet socks.
I stopped trying to figure Henry out a long time ago.
Besides, you and I have things to celebrate.
Yes, we do.
To little Jack's guardian.
To little Jack's godfather.
Both important jobs.
Very important jobs.
One's just as important as the other.
Absolutely.
He's gonna come to you for guidance.
And you'll be there to take care of him if Elizabeth needs your help.
That's right.
[CLINK.]
Is there anything else we're supposed to do? I have no idea.
Hey, Lee.
Oh, there he is.
- Did you get it? - Sure did.
Hey, thanks for letting me borrow your car.
Oh yeah, no problem.
So this is really happening, huh? Yeah.
Tonight at the dance.
Good man.
- Okay, go back to work.
- All right.
- See you then.
- All right.
Thank you.
[LAUGHS.]
Great throw, Allie.
Try it again.
That looks like fun, Spencer.
Do you want to try? Ah! This one is my favourite.
Hi.
All right.
Used to be really good at Nope.
You almost got it.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
You're pulling too fast.
You want to try it? [LAUGHS.]
Nice one Spencer.
Way to go.
Okay.
Let me see.
All right.
So, there you go.
Sheriff Spencer.
Now, you can bring this with you tomorrow when we go to Brookfield and you can show all the other kids what you won.
Spencer, Grace and her sister, Lillian, are gonna take really good care of you.
Plus, you're gonna have a bunch of kids to play with.
All right, step right up, folks.
Hi.
[BOTTLE CLINKS.]
I thought you were supposed to be part of the entertainment.
I'm just taking a little break.
Hey little guy.
How would you like a teddy bear? Oh, well that would mean you'd actually have to win one first.
I accept that challenge.
Three more rings, my good sir.
This game is all about technique.
I see.
Wow.
It's just all in the wrist.
Oh, my goodness! And it just so happens that I have a magician's wrist.
Did you mean to bounce it off that other bottle? I absolutely did not.
Lady luck is with me today.
Here you go.
Say thank you, Jack.
Do you like the teddy bear! Yeah, a teddy bear.
Oh, my goodness! Did you take a little spill? Yes? Let me take a look.
It doesn't look that serious.
Just in case Is that all better? - Yes.
- [GIGGLES.]
Where are your parents? Alright.
Here you go.
Off you go.
Thank you.
Oh, there you are, Bill! What are you doing? Well, I need a place to work.
Alright, well, I need to discuss the pie tasting contest with you.
We have a problem.
Robert and Harper thought the tasting was open to everyone and they have now eaten almost all the pies.
For the record, they did think that Bertha's was the best.
Okay.
Well, give me about five minutes and I will go out and make it official.
Problem solved.
It's ok you can go in.
I just wanna look.
I love goats.
Thank you.
What? What's that you say? This little boy here? Spencer, this fuzzy little guy's name is Snowball, and he wants to be your friend.
What do you say? So cute.
[LAUGHS.]
He's fuzzy, right? [GIGGLES.]
Ha! One moment.
Uh Emily.
Can you find Fiona and get here to come to the hairstyling station immediately? - Sure.
- Right over there, hm-mm.
Wow.
So, what do you think? It's almost there.
- Oh, let me see.
- No! Uh, not until it's finished, because it is going to look fantastic.
Oh.
Well, speaking of fantastic, you have done a marvellous job with the festival.
Thank you.
You know, I can't take all the credit.
Fiona has been a great help.
Oh, here she comes.
Ah, Fiona! Uh-huh, yep.
It's yep.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
(ROSEMARY WHISPERS) It's a disaster.
[FORCED LAUGHS.]
Oh.
Okay.
This just needs a couple minor adjustments and you'll be on your way.
And make sure you tell her what she's doing wrong.
Doing what? Oh, it's okay.
(WHISPERS) Sorry.
(WHISPERS) It's okay, it's okay.
You look fantastic.
May we please have some cotton candy? We most certainly can.
Oh, what a cute little bear.
Did you guys win him? Over there? Where? Which event? Oh, good try, sir.
Good try.
Thank you.
All right, step right up, test your strength.
What do you win if you hit the bell? Any one of these prizes.
[LAUGHS.]
A fishing pole! All right.
That'll be one nickel.
Thank you.
Thank you, sir.
It's okay, Uncle Nathan.
Nice try.
You know what, I'm just getting warmed up.
Ooh, that was closer.
"A" for effort.
What is the pot, so to speak? It's a fishing pole for Allie.
A worthy cause.
Mind if I give it a shot? Uh, sure.
Why not? That'll be one nickel.
Yes sir.
- Thank you, sir.
- Mm-hmm.
I've seen you with a hammer.
This isn't gonna end well.
Ye of little faith.
You do it with momentum.
A combination of mind and muscle.
Careful.
It's about creating torque.
Close, but no cigar.
But I certainly saw the torque.
What's going on here? They're trying to win a fishing pole for Allie.
Ah.
Do you mind? Sure.
I need to stretch a little anyways.
Okay.
[BELL DINGS.]
[APPLAUSE.]
We have a winner! Alright.
- Thank you! - Sure thing.
Carson! Spencer's missing, I can't find him anywhere.
Grace, what happened.
He asked me to get cotton candy for him and I turned my back for one minute, and Who is this Spencer? He recently lost his parents and I was taking him to our orphanage.
We need to spread out and look for him.
I'll need some help on the roads and the woods.
I'll help.
Thanks.
Allie, I'll be back in a minute.
There's lots of places to hide in the saloon.
I'll go check it out.
Let's go.
Spencer! Come on! Spencer! Spencer! Spencer! Spencer!! (CALLING) Spencer! Spencer!! I'll head south.
Okay.
(CALLING) Spencer! Spencer! Spencer! Where are you?! Spencer? Spencer? Spencer! Spencer? Spencer? [SNEEZES.]
Spencer, where are you? Spencer! Spencer! Spencer, come back.
Hey, Spencer, whatcha doing? You want to come out? I miss my mommy and daddy.
Yeah.
I know you do, buddy.
Spencer! Spencer!! Over here! [SIGH OF RELIEF.]
Oh, Spencer, you scared me.
Allie, your uncle's back.
- You okay? - Uh-huh.
They found Spencer.
Yes.
I see that, it's great news.
Yes, it is.
And now the festivities can continue.
Yes, the founders would be proud.
Mmhmm? What did you mean by "the founders will be proud?" I have no idea, it just came out.
Thank you.
Henry! What is it? You tell me.
This is old correspondence.
Regarding mine safety.
"Dear Henry, after careful review we feel your concerns "regarding any safety issues are unwarranted.
"Please consider this matter closed.
" What is this? What does it look like? It looks like you knew this mine was unsafe six years ago before it collapsed and killed 47 people.
I had my concerns, I mentioned it to the company and this was their response.
Well, either they were lying or they were wrong.
I know that now.
But did you know then? No! Maybe I should have insisted upon an inspector, maybe I should have gone to the newspaper, maybe I should have shut down the mine.
That's a lot of maybes.
It is a lot of maybes! And I have to live with each one of them every single day, Bill.
I didn't do enough! The company told me to shut up and I did! - Henry! - You know and you go ahead and tell everybody in this town how I screwed up.
I chose the company over my friends and neighbours in this town.
Lord knows I have it coming.
Bill? Is all that true? Here you go.
You're not mad? How could I be mad.
I know how you feel? Did you know that I lost my mom and dad when I was little too.
You did? I was only five.
And I remember feeling so afraid and confused.
And I felt like I had a big hole inside of me.
I know exactly what it's like to feel like you have no one and no hope.
But that is why my sister and I have a place in Brookfield that is full of boys and girls just like you and me.
And we take care of each other.
We eat together, we learn together, we have fun together.
Fun? How? We play games, we build stuff, I put on a puppet show.
You definitely have to see my puppet show.
What kind of shows? I have dragons and pirates and knights and princesses.
Princesses? More pirates and knights.
And I'm thinking of adding a sheriff.
Spencer, will you give our home a shot? I really want you to come live with us.
Okay.
I'd like that.
Yay.
Me too.
Oh, good try sir, good try.
All right, step right up, test your strength.
Well, now we are dressed and ready for the dance.
Another successful event pulled off by my beautiful wife.
Well, it wasn't without its moments.
Yeah, but you handled it all with such elegance and poise.
My balloon! - Oh.
- Woah.
Woah! [LAUGHS.]
That was amazing.
Yeah, do it again! Oh, I think once is quite enough.
Thank you, Mrs.
Coulter.
Today was the best day ever.
Oh, you're very welcome, Opal.
[GIGGLES.]
Bye.
What is that little smile? Nothin'.
You know, you may not see it, but I do.
What's that? How you touch everyone's lives, not just mine.
Lee.
No, no, no, it's true.
You know, these may not be our children, but here in Hope Valley, we're a part of everyone's family.
Because of you.
It's such a wonderful family.
Yes, it is.
Should we go to the dance? Yes.
Oh, you look beautiful.
Shhh.
Oh, okay.
(WHISPERS) Thank you.
Are you sure you don't want to go to the dance? What? And miss this opportunity to spend time with my favourite nephew.
He's asleep.
I was thinking of waking him up.
Okay, fine.
But if he wakes upon his own, then maybe we can play some more.
Fortunately for you, he still wakes up several times a night.
[SIGHS.]
I can only hope.
Have fun.
Henry Oh.
I believe this letter belongs to you.
Henry, when I first came to this town six years ago, everyone blamed you for the mining accident.
So they should.
But no one has ever known that you tried to do the right thing.
Well, I tried and it I didn't save a single one of those men's lives.
It's not your fault.
I didn't do enough, Elizabeth.
It is not your fault.
Henry you are not the man people think you are.
I'm sure you mean that as a compliment.
I do.
I think it's time you stopped living in the past.
It's time to move on from that terrible tragedy.
I don't know how.
I understand that.
I really do.
Are you coming to the dance? No, I don't' think so.
Please stop by.
It will be festive.
Yeah, maybe I will.
[GIGGLING.]
So, where's Jesse? I'm not sure.
He said he'd meet me here.
Hey.
Hey, I was afraid you might've had a change of heart.
No way, just couldn't get the tie on right, you know? Huh, all right.
Do you mind? Yeah, yeah, please, go ahead.
Thank you.
Woah, woah, woah.
I can see why you had trouble tying the tie.
Here, let me give you a hand.
- Okay.
- Oh boy.
You can do this.
Good luck.
All right.
[GIGGLING.]
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
We're running low on cider, I just It's gonna happen.
[GASPS.]
Yeah.
- Well, it's about time.
- Yeah.
Will you dance with me? Certainly.
[GIGGLES.]
No.
I mean For the rest of your life? [GASPS.]
You've been as patient as a saint.
And I promise I will never stop trying to deserve your love.
Clara Will you be my wife? [GASPS.]
Well, I haven't been working two jobs not to be your wife.
[LAUGHS.]
Yes.
[LAUGHS.]
We're engaged! [APPLAUSE.]
Whoo! - Yeah, good man.
- It's about time.
Thanks, Bill.
- Congratulations.
- Thank you, Carson.
You are one lucky man.
Luckiest man on the face of the earth.
So, what are you doing here? Go dance with her.
Fiona?! I just wanted to say thank you for all of your help with the Founders' Day Festival.
- Oh, you're welcome.
- It was fun.
Really, was it? It wasn't too crazy? No, in fact, I was thinking we should shake it up even more.
Well, what were you thinking? (WHISPERS) Have you ever heard of "Ladies Choice"? [LAUGHING.]
Oh, yes! I got a wonderful idea.
- This song.
- Oh, that one, yeah.
Everyone, we're going to do something a little different now.
The next song will be Oh, no.
Ladies' choice.
So ladies, pick your dance partner.
Ned? I should check in on Lee.
Absolutely.
[BOTH LAUGH.]
So funny.
So funny.
Would you like to dance? Absolutely.
