00:01Previously on When Calls the Heart.
00:03How are those insurance claims coming?
00:05I am hosting a legal clinic at the schoolhouse tomorrow night.
00:08I would love to come.
00:10That's McGinty. What are we still doing here? Let's go arrest the guy.
00:13We'll know if it's arson in a day or two.
00:15I'm right about this one.
00:17We stopped to have some stew for lunch with just a small cooking fire.
00:21We were responsible for starting the fire.
00:25Boys, why don't you tell Constable Graham what you told your parents and me?
00:31Here you go, fellas.
00:38When we went out to set trail markers, Toby and I decided to make a fire.
00:43We wanted to heat up some stew, but then we put it out.
00:47Doused it with water, buried the coals.
00:50From what Cooper told me, they did everything right.
00:52Where exactly did you light this fire? Do you remember?
00:56Up the north side, just past Bell Rock.
00:58We could take you there.
01:00No, it's okay. We know Bell Rock.
01:02As soon as the fireside is safe, we'll head up to inspect.
01:05Did either of you actually see this fire start?
01:09No. We didn't notice anything until we were almost down North Ridge.
01:12That's when we smelled smoke.
01:15And just like that, we were surrounded by fire.
01:18I promise I thought it was out.
01:21We must have missed a step.
01:23We're so sorry.
01:25It's alright.
01:26You both did great in there.
01:36I'm so proud of you boys for telling the truth.
01:41I wish we never made that fire.
01:47So we still don't know what caused the fire.
01:49And if it was to boys?
01:51Well, they're minors, so this will go on the record.
01:54They may have some community service, but they won't serve any jail time.
01:59I do have to warn you that if Cooper and Toby are found responsible, your family could be liable for all property loss and damage.
02:07That's half the town.
02:09We can't possibly pay for that.
02:11What do we do?
02:12Well, you can certainly fight it in court.
02:14So my advice is to get the best lawyer you can.
02:17The sooner the better.
02:19Good night.
02:20The next day, we will be.
02:21The more I wish maybe to get to the next day, the better.
02:23This was a good night.
02:24And the better.
02:25The more I wish our friends had the choice.
02:26The better.
02:27The better.
02:28The better.
02:29The better.
02:30The better.
02:31The better.
02:33The better.
02:34The better.
02:35I'm so sorry I got I got stuck at this ridiculous dinner and by the time I ran over to the meeting
02:58everyone had left well once people realized the governor wasn't joining as I had promised
03:03no one saw a reason to stay I really am sorry it was an important last-minute meeting for my campaign
03:11you know what in my work in capital city I spent a lot of time around politicians
03:18and they always complained about the same thing compromises tough choices the games but deep down
03:26in their core they loved it I thought maybe you were different that you wanted to change the rules
03:35I guess I was wrong now if you'll excuse me my clients expect my full attention not compromises
03:46whoa new saddle Newton is gonna love it actually this is for Oliver's official service horse
04:03we get him in on Monday I thought he didn't get a horse until he's 18 well after Sunday he'll be 18
04:09Sunday oh my goodness I have so much to do I sorry judge Avery
04:18where's she off to in such a hurry I think I might have just released the hounds on someone
04:25it's Oliver's birthday this weekend well at least someone will be enjoying themselves
04:29yeah I know I really hate this part of the job
04:33we still have McGinty we can look into
04:35we bring him in for questioning all right I'll get him in today anything so we don't have to charge
04:40those boys here you go oh I had wondered where you two scampered off to after breakfast yep
04:49just want to show you what we've been working on I thought Goldie could use it where it all's
04:54hmm this is fantastic and I made this for myself goodness
05:00oh oh oh all right now just oh gosh oh well I can tell the craftsmanship is quite good
05:08can I walk Goldie to daycare again Gwen of course thank you that's very helpful
05:16Gwen's gonna walk you to daycare all right off you go
05:20bye bye bye
05:24that's enough
05:37it was good for me to get back to making something again
05:41which got me thinking you know how last night at the meeting a lot of people were complaining
05:46about the construction companies jacking their prices to profit off Benson Hills and their tragedy
05:50yes it's terrible it's reprehensible so what if we expand
05:54colder lumber into colder construction
05:57a one-stop shop for the Benson Hills rebuild what do you think
06:00Lee I I think it's wonderful
06:04my mom says it was arson I heard it was old man Nikinti that's why Mayor Colter went after him
06:16focus on your reading please
06:18what does arson mean
06:22someone did this to us a fire like that doesn't just happen
06:29I know how difficult this is for you all though it may be tempting
06:37until we have all of the answers we shouldn't be sharing unfounded rumors
06:41now let's turn our attention to science please
06:45we have a witness that saw you entering the park with a can of fuel
06:59the day of the fire oh yeah who we're asking the questions your history with the park makes
07:03you a person of interest now you can choose to withhold information or not cooperate but that
07:08didn't serve you very well last time did it look AJ we know you lost your ranch in the fire
07:13we don't want to drag this out any more than we have to but if it was you
07:16entering the park with a can of fuel on the day of the fire
07:19what do you expect us to think
07:21it wasn't fuel it was a cat
07:25excuse me
07:27I was burying my cat
07:29so the
07:30the can
07:31was a cat
07:32I buried the cat
07:34in the can
07:36to protect it from wildlife
07:37so he could rest in peace
07:38all right
07:39do you expect us to believe
07:44his name was Mr. Mittens
07:45he was a Maine Coon
07:46and the best mouser I ever had
07:48well I'm inclined to believe you
07:53because I don't want anybody to make up a story like that
07:56but it still puts you in the forest
07:59the day of the fire
08:00and you could have set that fire after the
08:02burial
08:04fine
08:06ask the barkeep at shivering timbers

12:52we lit a fire
12:56in the woods
12:56when you and Opal
12:57were off
12:58and
12:58obviously that must have been

13:06so
13:06everybody's going to know
13:07soon enough

13:28and they're all on board
13:29for the expansion
13:30what
13:31what is it
13:32I read the most recent RCMP report
13:36about the fire
13:37AJ McGinty was in the woods
13:39on the day of the fire
13:40I knew it
13:41he did not start it
13:43he didn't
13:44he was burying his cat
13:46one
13:47Mr. Mittens
13:48he was back in Benson Hills
13:50and accounted for
13:51by the time the fire started
13:53well
13:55back to square one
13:57still have no idea
13:59who started the fire
14:00well
14:01there is one more thing
14:04in the report
14:05the only lead now
14:07is two kids from Hope Valley
14:09an accidental fire
14:11that got out of control
14:12the kids who went hiking
14:14yes
14:15you're not going to publish that
14:20though right
14:20no I will not
14:22but I'm sure
14:24the Benson Hills beetle will
14:25have you seen this
14:27don't want to
14:28can you do me a favor
14:30there's something missing
14:31from this shepherd's pie
14:32and I don't know what it is
14:33basil
14:36I already put some in
14:38pepper maybe
14:40Elizabeth
14:41I know
14:42I know
14:43if you had heard
14:45the children whispering
14:46in class today
14:47everyone's just looking
14:48for someone to blame
14:48once they figure out
14:50it was those boys
14:51you just find a way
14:52to stop the speculation
14:53well maybe if people
14:54heard it directly from you
14:55then you could
14:56answer their questions
14:58call a meeting
15:01at least for the people
15:02here in town
15:03I think gossip
15:05is always worse

30:10Allie, everything looks incredible.
30:15You pulled it off in record time.
30:17Thanks for all your help.
30:22Well, Oliver will be here soon.
30:24There's no one here from Benson Hills.
30:29I know you did your best, kiddo.
30:35But it looks like somebody showed up.
30:41Maisie, you made it.
30:44Thank you for coming.
30:45Thanks for the nudge.
30:48We so appreciate you coming, Mayor Hickam.
30:51Oh, my gosh.
30:53Look.
30:58Oh, my goodness.
31:01I am so happy you're here.
31:03You were right.
31:04This is our community now, too.
31:06No.
31:10Hi, Allie.
31:20You look really nice.
31:22Ready to go?
31:24Actually, there's something I want to show you first.
31:27Come with me.
31:27Happy birthday, Oliver.
31:48You did all this?
31:49Well, I know you never got to have a party, so it's something for every birthday you missed.
31:57It's sort of like 18 birthdays in one.
32:03What do you think?
32:05I think this is the best thing ever.
32:09Well, were you surprised?
32:11More like shocked.
32:12And amazed.
32:13Glad to hear it.
32:14Let's get this party started.
32:16Yes!
32:17First time!
32:28Cornhole?
32:29Where's Cooper?
32:30He's the master.
32:32Where is he?
32:34And Toby?
32:34I invited them, but I guess they decided not to come.
32:40You know.
32:41Yeah.
32:43This is all incredible, but I promise I'll be right back.
32:51Remember what Oliver said.
32:52Loosen your wrist a little more and then fling it.
32:54It's not just the wrist.
33:04You also got to snap the elbow.
33:06Oliver, what are you doing here?
33:07Yeah, isn't your birthday party now?
33:09It is, but you guys weren't there.
33:12Trust me, that's how you want it.
33:14Yeah.
33:14We set the fire, and you're a Mountie.
33:17You shouldn't be hanging out with us.
33:18You didn't do anything on purpose.
33:19You're not criminals.
33:21Anyway, the whole point of a birthday party is being with your friends.
33:23So, if you're not going, I'm not going.
33:32Okay.
33:33But we have one condition.
33:42It's not back yet.
33:49Gather around, everyone.
33:50I just want to say something really quick.
33:53Thank you all for coming to my first ever birthday party.
34:00Before I came to Hope Valley, I didn't really have friends, but now I do.
34:03And I feel like the luckiest guy.
34:09Because friends are always there for you.
34:12I'm glad I was able to convince my two pals, Toby and Cooper, to join me here today.
34:17Maybe something they want to say to all of us.
34:18Our cooking fire sparked the wildfire.
34:24It was a horrible action, and we're both really sorry.
34:31So, so sorry.
34:33Well, the first time I convinced my parents to let me babysit all of my siblings, baby Mikey went missing.
34:50Missing.
34:51First rule of babysitting is don't lose the baby, right?
34:54Oh, I panicked.
34:59Called in the town, Mountie.
35:00Started a search party.
35:01And do you know where we found him?
35:05Asleep in the cupboard.
35:09That's our Mikey.
35:10That's right.
35:12Even an old mayor like me has made plenty of mistakes.
35:17I'm pretty sure everyone here has.
35:21I could keep you all your most of the night talking about all my mistakes, but this is a party.
35:27Let's get back to having fun.
35:40Well done.
35:44Constable.
35:49Happy birthday.
35:53Thank you, Mary Hickam.
35:54Mm-hmm.
35:57Isn't that your tie?
36:00I left the blue tie for you, Michael.
36:05Even if it does wash you out.
36:10Well...
36:11It's a start.
36:12Yeah.
36:20Good luck!
36:24Elizabeth, we heard about your beautiful speech at the town meeting.
36:29Thank you for inspiring all this.
36:31I just said the truth.
36:34Cooper is an incredible kid.
36:35He's the inspiration.
36:37And he deserves everyone's support.
36:40Well, just knowing we have that support is enough to see us through.
36:43Oh!
36:44Oh!
36:45Oh!
36:46Oh!
36:47Oh!
36:48Oh!
36:49Oh!
36:50Oh my goodness!
36:51Oh, God!
36:59That was the best party I've ever had.
37:02Oliver, it's the only party you've ever had.
37:08I, um...
37:10I didn't get a chance to give this to you.
37:13You didn't have to get me anything.
37:15This collection made me fall in love with poetry.
37:26Yeah, some for you too.
37:29You're not supposed to get other people gifts on your birthday.
37:33It's actually from your birthday.
37:35I didn't get to give it to you last year.
37:37Nope, now's okay.
37:40You kept it all this time?
37:42Go ahead.
37:48Oliver.
37:49It's a wolf.
37:51Because, well, you love nature.
37:53And you're so...
37:57brave.
38:01It's really beautiful.
38:13Here, you have to...
38:19Allie really did a great job on that party.
38:33Yep.
38:34It's a special group of kids.
38:36I tend to think that all kids are special.
38:41That's because of you.
38:44You know that, right?
38:46Those kids being generous today and showing up for Toby and Cooper, that's...
38:51That's because of you, Elizabeth.
38:54You inspired me.
38:57I'd say it was more of a team effort.
39:00I am proud to be on your team.
39:02Elizabeth Thornton.
39:03Elizabeth Thornton.
39:09Disaster has a way of breaking things down beyond recognition.
39:15Shattering the world around us.
39:34You look around and...
39:36You think your life will never be whole again.
39:40But when you accept a little help...
39:43You can start to put the pieces back together.
39:46There they go.
39:48You got it?
39:50You may be surprised to find what you end up with.
39:55AJ?
39:57I've come to apologize.
40:00I never should have accused you of starting that fire, and I definitely...
40:05Well, I shouldn't have lost my temper.
40:09So I am here today to humbly ask you for a favor.
40:14Would you be willing to let me launch my construction company by building you a cabin here?
40:21I don't need your charity.
40:22Well, that's good news, because this wouldn't be charity.
40:25I would be using the cabin as a model for prospective clients.
40:34I guess that could work.
40:43Good.
40:45There is one more thing, Lee?
40:47Right, yes, of course.
40:49The most important thing, as a matter of fact.
40:53May we suggest the name...
40:55Dr. Socks?
41:13Because loss always comes with a hidden gift.
41:16And when we lean on our community, there are greater riches to be found.
41:21It is to be found.
41:51It is to be found.
41:52One more.
41:53The most important thing is, on the way, the history of our community.
41:56It is to be found.
41:58If we feel that God is a key, the power of our community.
42:00It is to be found.
42:01And when we bring about ourselves, the people in the world lose our lives.
42:06It is to be found and love ourselves.
42:07We can be found together.
42:08It is to be found.
42:10And everyone feels good.
42:12It is to be found in our country.
42:14It is to be found.
42:16It is to be found in our Lord.
