While filled with anxiety about Sully (Joe Lando), Dr. Mike (Jane Seymour) begins to experience symptoms indicating that she may be pregnanat again. She tries to keep her suspicions a secret and is deeply embarassed when word leaks before she can tell Sully.
Before she has a chance to send word to Sully, she miscarries and is emotionally comforted by the support of her friends, Dorothy (Barbara Babcock), who has had two miscarriages, and Grace (Jonelle Allen), who is unable to have children. Mike realizes she does not have to maintain the facade of always being strong and independent.
Meanwhile, the town's citizen's bicker over what items to include in a time capsule. The subject becomes especially important for Mayor Jake Slicker (Jim Knobeloch), who is attracted to the new school teacher, Teresa Morales (guest star Alex Meneses).
