When Calls the Heart Season 10 Episode 8: What Is and What Should Never Be

At the saloon Bill is lost in thought in his booth when Elizabeth joins him, and he tells her a woman he barely knew bought land from him and she happens to have a fiance.

Lucas says he checked in Madeline's fiance Bernhardt Montague yesterday, and when Bernhardt greets them Elizabeth mentions Jamie and Bernhardt looks at her blankly, leaving her confused and concerned.

At the mercantile Rosemary is frustrated that Governor Balfour's campaign tour does not include Hope Valley, and she suggests an elaborate reception to attract him while Lee proposes Fiona broadcast it on the radio and Minnie offers a choir.

Elizabeth and Lucas walk through town and Elizabeth says it does not make sense that Madeline never told Bill about her fiance, and Lucas says she is searching for trouble.

Rosaleen tells them she has been placed in the nursing program and credits Lucas for the scholarship, and as she runs off Lucas and Elizabeth wonder whether Henry will ever tell the truth about it.

At the jail Jed tells Nathan he heard loud noises from the property Bill sold to Madeline and suspects trespassing, and Allie then asks Nathan if she can babysit Little Jack and he agrees.

At the saloon Elizabeth questions Bernhardt about Madeline and Jamie and about Jamie's previous school, which Bernhardt does not recall, and Lucas interrupts and later tells Elizabeth he does not trust Bernhardt but it is better to keep enemies close.

Nathan goes to the property and finds Bernhardt flanked by men, and Bernhardt says they are building a well, and Nathan challenges him because Bill put in a well a few years ago while Bernhardt says it has gone dry.

Nathan tells the crew to keep the noise down.

Outside the mercantile Elizabeth tells Nathan that Allie is excited about babysitting and brings up Bernhardt, and Nathan says the man is eager to whip the land into shape to impress Madeline.

Elizabeth spots Henry walking a horse and he tells her he has not spoken to Rosaleen, and when Elizabeth invites him to join the choir he laughs off the invitation.

At choir practice Angela plays the piano and Minnie leads everyone into 'Oh, Happy Day' while an already nervous Rosemary wants everything to be perfect.

Leaving Allie to babysit Little Jack, Elizabeth and Lucas have a night out and Elizabeth says something about Bernhardt is off, and Lucas reminds her she once felt that way about him when he moved to town and Elizabeth apologizes.

At Elizabeth's, Allie searches for Little Jack during a game of hide and seek and cannot find him, and she panics and calls for Nathan.

At the lumber offices Richard tells Rosemary and Lee that a big rush order has come from Union City to build a trestle bridge with new engineering, and Richard says something about the order is suspicious even though it will keep many men employed.

Allie and Nathan search the house and Nathan finds Little Jack under a chair laughing hysterically, and Allie calms down.

At the saloon Henry sits with Bill and Bill says it would be easier if Bernhardt and Madeline left town, and then Molly and Rosaleen enter to Henry's dismay.

Elizabeth comes home to find Nathan with Allie and hears that Allie panicked during hide and seek, and Elizabeth says she should have told Allie that Little Jack loves to hide and she promises to hire Allie again.

Nathan asks how Little Jack has been with questions about his father and Elizabeth says she tells him stories to keep his father's memory alive, and she mentions seeing Nathan dance with Faith.

Nathan says Faith ended things before the dance and he says he should be done with love, and he leaves Allie to sleep and goes.

Elizabeth sees Jack's hat and visits his gravesite, where she apologizes for not visiting in a while and gives him updates on Hope Valley and Little Jack.

At the church Joseph finds Henry and Henry tells him about the burden he carries and that he feels terrible about the disaster, and Joseph encourages him with scripture.

At the cafe Rosemary and Minnie assign Mei and Mike to a duet in the choir.

Rosaleen confronts Henry and he says he wants to help, and she says Henry is the one behind the scholarship and refuses to accept it.

Elizabeth goes to the property and a worker tells her it is private property and they are building a new well, so she moves along while staying suspicious.

Mike gives Mei tips on posture and mindset while they practice their duet.

Elizabeth visits Nathan at the jail and says she is concerned about the activity on Madeline's land and she is going to get to the bottom of it.

Rosaleen tells Molly she wants to leave Hope Valley because of Henry and Molly pleads with her to forgive him, saying he is a changed man who has done good things for the town.

Elizabeth and Lucas walk to church and Lucas apologizes for putting his business first instead of trusting her instincts about Bernhardt.

Rosaleen finds Henry in the stables and apologizes to him, and he tells her she does not need to and apologizes to her for everything, and when she invites him to hear the choir he is overwhelmed.

At church the choir performs and Henry comes in and sits next to Rosaleen as Elizabeth looks on with a smile.

The episode resolves the Rosaleen and Henry thread. She refuses the scholarship money but then apologizes to Henry in the stables and invites him to hear the choir, and at church Henry comes in and sits next to her while Elizabeth looks on with a smile. Little Jack is found safe under a chair, and Lucas apologizes to Elizabeth for putting his business ahead of her instincts about Bernhardt.

Bernhardt Montague's purpose is left unresolved within the episode. His claim that the existing well went dry is challenged by Nathan, and Elizabeth is told the crew is building a new well on private property, but what they are actually doing there is not confirmed within the episode. Whether Rosaleen ends up accepting the scholarship is also not settled here, since she refuses it even while forgiving Henry. The Union City trestle bridge rush order that Richard flags as suspicious is introduced but not explained within the episode, and Governor Balfour's reception is still only a plan, with Rosemary wanting everything perfect before the governor arrives.
