Coming Together, Coming Apart - Episode #2006 – Saturday, June 6, 2015
Spoiler Alert - Do Not Read If You Prefer to be Surprised
In Coming Together, Coming Apart, Elizabeth (Erin Krakow) and Jack (Daniel Lissing), still upset after their fight, separately set out to help their younger siblings move toward a better future—apart from each other. But when Tom (Max Lloyd-Jones) and Julie (Charlotte Hegele) stubbornly run off together, Elizabeth puts her argument with Jack aside to enlist his help to find them before they make an even bigger mistake. In Hope Valley, Gowen (Martin Cummins) is still reeling from his loss in the poker game, and begins pressuring Abigail (Lori Loughlin) to sell the café to a new investor. When a tough Abigail refuses to let go, Gowen can’t contain his anger as he conspires with Dottie (Erica Carroll) to threaten Abigail into understanding the consequences. Then, a concerned Abigail looks to Pastor Frank (Mark Humphrey) for guidance and finds the spark of something new with him, even as his past remains a mystery. At the same time, a charming Lee (Kavan Smith) hopes to move his flirtation with Rosemary (Pascale Hutton) into something more, but the dramatic actress’s independent streak proves she isn’t ready to settle down, making Lee reconsider his approach. And in Hamilton, Jack realizes Tom’s troubling behavior has roots in their past as he helps his brother say an emotional farewell. Then, a calculated offer from William (Garwin Sanford) makes Jack realize Elizabeth’s family might never accept him for who he is, and Jack and Elizabeth’s different worlds suddenly seem farther apart than ever before.

Heart and Home - Episode #2005 – Saturday, May 30, 2015
Spoiler Alert - Do Not Read If You Prefer to be Surprised
In Heart and Home, Elizabeth (Erin Krakow) and Jack (Daniel Lissing) are at a crossroads in their relationship when they each get troubling news: Tom (Max Lloyd-Jones) and Julie (Charlotte Hegele) have been in an automobile accident. As they prepare to travel to Hamilton together, Abigail (Lori Loughlin) is avoiding Bill Avery (Jack Wagner) at all costs. But when Bill shows up at the café and makes his final plea to be honest with her about his unforgivable mistake, an angry Abigail agrees to listen at the urging of friendly Pastor Frank (Mark Humphrey), and makes a surprising decision. Meanwhile, Lee (Kavan Smith) confides in Rosemary (Pascale Hutton) about Gowen’s (Martin Cummins) latest scheme to run the sawmill out of business with his new railroad deal, and they both worry about the future of Hope Valley. Then, when a visiting railroad tycoon takes Gowen on in a heated poker game, Lee sees one last opportunity to outsmart Gowen, and conspires with Rosemary to beat him at his own game. In Hamilton, tensions are high as Jack visits a hurt Tom in the infirmary and immediately connects with his pretty nurse, Faith (Andrea Brooks). With her help, Jack discovers Tom and Julie are hiding the truth about the crash. As Julie’s furious father threatens to press charges against Tom for his reckless behavior – and prevent the Thornton men from coming near his daughters at all – Jack and Elizabeth must defend their own relationship. But when the fallout from the accident inevitably pulls them apart in a heated confrontation, they are left to wonder if their future is worth fighting for.

Fun Live Tweeting Last Night
The people behind the wonderful family drama When Calls the Heart are truly amazing. They really care about the #Hearties, the show's fans. How many actors, writers, producers, etc. actually communicate with the fans? These fine people do.
Going through last night's tweets, I made a list of creative people involved in the twitter conversation.
During last night's four-hour live tweeting event, several questions I had about the show were answered by the show's executive producer, Brian Bird (#PapaHeartie) and the show's costume designer, Allisa Swanson.
Me: What products/methods do you use to clean the costumes? Can't imagine trying to get out mud/muck stains. #Hearties
Allisa Swanson: The mud splash dresses were splashed with actual paint- so they are still neatly bagged like that- no getting those out.
Me: The magic of TV production. Would never have thought the mud was paint. Thanks for the answer. :) #Hearties
Me: Who are the corporate sponsors/advertisers of @WCTH_TV? Would like to use the companies' products/services. #Hearties
Brian Bird: The #Hearties keep a list of sponsors, addresses updated on their Facebook fan page 4 just such an occasion.
Me: Dumb question: Does Hope Valley just sit there in Canada between seasons or is it torn down and reassembled each season? #Hearties
Brian Bird: Not a dumb question. It stays there. All the props and furniture R put in storage in hopes there will B more seasons.
Me: Clara is Hope Valley's Allisa Swanson!
Allisa Swanson: That's cute! #hearties
Me: Approx. how many outfits are made for each hour of the show?
Allisa Swanson: Wow... I never did a full count, but we kept our workroom very busy - and a lot of contract seamstresses as well!
Me: I shed a tear when Elizabeth's outfit got splashed with muck. #Hearties
Allisa Swanson: That's why we made 4 of them. We did multiple takes for that!
Me: @erinkrakow @LoriLoughlin Your outfits are beyond gorgeous! #Hearties
Erin Krakow: We have @allisa_s to thank for that!
Brian Bird @brbird: Thanks #Hearties for the great night of tweeting. From Cast & Crew of @WCTH_TV, we love you! Watch your DVRs. See you next Sat night!
Brian Bird @brbird: #Hearties, here is my Hope Valley pledge to you. Every Heartie matters and we do our best to answer every one of your questions.

Awakenings & Revelations - Episode #2004 – Saturday, May 23, 2015
Spoiler Alert - Do Not Read If You Prefer to be Surprised
In Awakenings & Revelations, Elizabeth’s (Erin Krakow) conflict of the heart follows her to Hope Valley when she is surprised with a visitor from Hamilton, Charles (Marcus Rosner). Although Charles has new business with Lee (Kavan Smith) at the sawmill, Elizabeth knows it is more than just a coincidence that her father sent him to town—and so does a wary Jack (Daniel Lissing). As the two men attempt to hide their thinly veiled fight for Elizabeth’s affections, Clara (Eva Bourne) meets a charming suitor and is left uncertain about how her new courtship could affect Abigail (Lori Loughlin). Sensing Clara is upset, Abigail goes to Pastor Frank (Mark Humphrey) for advice. Meanwhile, Rosemary (Pascale Hutton) promises Lee an evening he’ll never forget as she aims to get what she desires. Then, Bill Avery (Jack Wagner) returns to Hope Valley, and begins evading Jack’s questioning about a gang of counterfeiting criminals in the region. Elizabeth has reservations about her romance with Jack—and confusion about Charles—puts her relationship with the beloved Mountie at an emotional impasse.
