WHEN CALLS THE HEART

A fresh start for Jack and Elizabeth, a surprise guest for Abigail, an adventure for Rosemary and Lee, and an unwanted visitor from Pastor Frank's past make for a busy Hope Valley in the days before the New Year's Eve 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 moves into a place of her own and Jack is conflicted since he's been thinking of building a house for them. Pastor Frank's past is revealed when a "Wanted" handbill bearing his likeness is posted in town.

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.

After Hope Valley learns redemption is possible, Abigail and Frank pursue a romance before the heart of the town is tested by the threat of a gang of outlaws. [W Network]
