When Calls the Heart Season 10 Episode 12: Starry Nights

Elizabeth and Rosemary are at Elizabeth's house discussing the wedding that was not to be, and Elizabeth says it was hard to say goodbye to Lucas but she will be fine.

At the schoolhouse Elizabeth's class tell her they feel conflicted about voting for Mr. Bouchard, and she says he is a good man and that sometimes people find they are not meant to be together.

Elizabeth thanks the class for being protective of her.

At their house Lee tells Rosemary he wants Henry as Goldie's godfather, saying Henry is wiser because of his troubles, and Rosemary is surprised but agrees.

Lee meets Henry at the community garden and nominates him, and Henry says he is not the right man while Lee asks him to think about it.

In town Elizabeth and Rosemary see the Vote for Bouchard posters and run into Mike, who is sympathetic, and Elizabeth asks him for fliers to give her students.

Mike is surprised she can still take part despite their separation.

Heading to the saloon Elizabeth wishes everyone would forget she was meant to marry tomorrow, and she says she is sad but also happy for Lucas.

Elizabeth tells Rosemary about her disagreement with Nathan over her true happiness and Rosemary hints that Nathan has a point.

Bill rides along with Nathan after a report of Pinkertons, and Nathan says he has not seen much of Elizabeth while Bill wonders whether that is on purpose.

Nathan asks Bill about Madeline and Bill says it is the life of a bachelor for him, while Nathan says it is the life of a dad for him.

Joseph finds Henry at the stables and Henry says he does not feel equipped to be Goldie's godfather, but Joseph encourages him and says it will be good for him.

Outside the mercantile Mei helps Mike with a stack of canned goods and they arrange to meet at the hot springs so Mike can help her collect clay for her masks.

Lucas calls Elizabeth from Capital City and says the campaign has not been easy, and she offers him her support.

At the saloon Ned suggests a button for everyone who votes and Rosemary says the vote is neck and neck with moral clarity and the press on their side.

Mike wonders whether Elizabeth should be included in the campaign effort, and Elizabeth overhears, interrupts, and says Lucas wants his speech broadcast in the saloon and quoted in the Valley Voice.

She reveals she just spoke with him, Rosemary says everything is fine between them, and they all tune in to the speech and cheer.

Outside the rowhouses Elizabeth sees Henry and reassures him that he would make a great godfather.

Inside Abigail's cafe Minnie finds Joseph working on his baptism speech with Henry on his mind, and she tells him to rest because everything will be okay.

It is Election Day and the voting booths are set up in Bill's office, where the ballot lists Bixby Balfour and Lucas Bouchard.

Elizabeth and Rosemary take the desk while Bill and Mike open the doors for voters.

Inside the saloon Mike handles Election Day alone because his wait staff are out voting, and when he remembers his meeting with Mei, Bill and Lee offer to take over.

Mike arrives to meet Mei and she is no longer there, and she tells Fiona and Faith at the beauty shop that he stood her up and she takes it as a sign he is not interested.

Back at Bill's office Rosemary says the line is moving slowly and they create more voting booths, and later she targets voters who are not wearing buttons.

Elizabeth notices Nathan has not voted and goes to the jail, but he is not there.

As the last voter leaves, Nathan arrives to vote and Elizabeth says she was worried he would not show up and wondered whether he was avoiding her.

Nathan apologizes for overstepping and says he had no right to question her, and Elizabeth appreciates his words.

At the saloon Mike expresses regret about missing Mei and explains he lost track of time, and Fiona tells him she will not get between them but gives him advice.

Elizabeth and Little Jack head to the baptism and Jack wants to wear his father's Mountie hat, and Elizabeth suggests he wear it after the ceremony.

Everyone gathers for church and searches for Henry, who is not among the crowd.

As the choir sings Henry appears saying he could not find a tie, and with Minnie's encouragement Joseph puts his paper away and speaks from the heart before baptizing Goldie in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

At the saloon everyone erupts in applause when the announcement is made that Lucas has won.

Elizabeth finds Henry in his old Gowen Petroleum offices and he confides that he is trying to make sense of his past troubles from the explosion as well as his future, and she comforts him.

At the victory party Fiona tells Mei to give Mike a break and Mei decides to tell Mike how she feels, and they approach each other, speak over one another, and learn they really like each other.

Mei forgives him and they dance as Fiona and Faith look on.

Bill spots Madeline at the saloon and follows her outside, where she says they were in Buxton when they heard Lucas won and Jamie insisted they drive up to celebrate.

She says Bill probably will not forgive her but wants him to know that he and Hope Valley have meant a lot to her.

In Capital City Lucas leaves his campaign headquarters at night and a shadowy figure approaches him, and Lucas asks what the figure is doing there.

Elizabeth visits Jack's grave and says she is afraid to get hurt again and cannot risk that pain again, and that Lucas deserves to have a great love.

Henry approaches a house, builds up his courage, and knocks, and when the door opens he greets the person by name as Abigail.

Elizabeth is lost in thought when Nathan approaches and she asks what he is doing there, and before they can continue Bill arrives urgently.

Bill says something has happened to Lucas and he needs both of them now, and they all take off on their horses.

The episode resolves the election and the town's domestic threads. Lucas is announced as the winner to applause at the saloon, Goldie is baptized with Henry present as her godfather, Joseph sets his notes aside and speaks from the heart, Mei and Mike admit they like each other and dance, and Madeline returns to Hope Valley with Jamie and tells Bill what he and the town have meant to her.

The season ends on an unresolved cliffhanger. Bill arrives urgently and tells Elizabeth and Nathan that something has happened to Lucas and that he needs them both, and they all take off on their horses. What has happened to Lucas is not revealed within the episode. Earlier in the evening a shadowy figure approaches Lucas outside his Capital City campaign headquarters and he asks what the figure is doing there, and that encounter is likewise not explained within the episode. Henry is shown building up his courage and knocking on a door, greeting the person who answers as Abigail, and who she is or what his visit means is not confirmed within the episode. Whether Elizabeth and Nathan resolve what Nathan raised about her happiness is also left unresolved within the episode, since Bill interrupts before they can continue.
