There are a lot of storylines developing in this episode. Things are still a bit awkward for Lucas and Elizabeth in the beginning, but at the end of the episode, we see Elizabeth taking her own advice and reaching out to him first. She apologizes to him and he apologizes to her. She admits to him that she is no longer seeing Nathan. Lucas asks her what that could mean for the two of them and she says they will just have to wait and see.
Nathan's inquiry begins. Superintendent Hargraves tries to twist words around, making Nathan look guilty. Bill confronts Nathan about what happened in Fort Clay and why Hargraves would hold a grudge against him. Nathan tells Bill what happened, but the viewers are left to believe that there is more to the story. Did Nathan know Jack? Bill also has a hilarious scene where he slams his chair "accidentally" getting the attention of the other Mounties in the inquiry. He states his objection, to help Nathan out. Allie has been very concerned for Nathan in the whole episode and finally goes to do something about it. She barges in on the inquiry and tells them how Nathan is all that she's got, and that he's a good man. Very great acting from the actress who plays Allie. Elizabeth witnesses Allies speech. Afterwards, Hargraves recommends that no further action be taken on Nathan so he is free.
Elizabeth welcomes the new family, the Canfields, to Hope Valley! She meets them all and brings books for the children. Cooper is 10 and Angela is 14. It is revealed that Angela is blind. Elizabeth wants to assure Minnie that she will soon be able to teach Angela but Minnie is too protective. These are some very touching scenes, especially when Elizabeth hears Angela play the piano.
Clara and Jesse are working through their money issues. Carson and Faith are on rocky ground but are trying to figure out their relationship. I don't see this relationship lasting much longer, unfortunately.
With Faiths advice, Molly goes to the dress shop searching for the perfect dress to impress Bill. She wears it to the saloon but Bill is so distracted that he barely acknowledges her. Luckily, Molly is still confident. Later in the street, Bill walks by Molly and Florence and comments "that was some dress, Molly." Looks like it got Bills attention after all :)
Lee's sister Susannah and niece Rachel come for a visit. Rosemary and Lee are trying to keep up with Susannahs strict rules but it all comes to a head when Rachel comes in wearing modern clothes/makeup. Susannah takes out her frustration on Rosemary, prompting Rosemary to go for a walk. When she returns, Susannah apologizes and admits that Bellingham is no place to raise a child and wants Rachel to stay with Lee and Rosemary. Rosemary immediately accepts.
In the end, Elizabeth asks Nathan if he knew Jack and again he says he didn't. I think there much more to the story.
Overall it was a busy episode. I'm pretty confident that Faith and Carson will not be a couple for much longer. I also think Clara and Jesse will continue to struggle, too. Rosemary and Lee will be learning how to parent with Rachel now living with them so that will be interesting to see. I think there is significance that Lucas is watching when Allie and Elizabeth storm into Bills office during the inquiry. I'm not sure how to feel about the love triangle just yet. Still seems like it can go either way. Loving the FloMo moments. Great acting from all.
