Elizabeth is feeling caught between overprotective Jack and new miner Billy Hamilton. When Jack tells her he has proof Billy lied to her, Elizabeth has had enough. Abigail, sensing Jack's feelings for Elizabeth go beyond his protective duties as Coal Valley's Constable, suggests Jack try a gentler approach to reach her.

Elizabeth and Abigail emotionally move out of the row house and into the rooms above Abigail's cafe, starting a new chapter and leaving many memories behind. Elizabeth learns that she and her students must put on the Coal Valley Founders' Day play. While rehearsals begin, Jack surprises Elizabeth with some special talents, and has an even bigger gesture in mind to help her more than she could have ever hoped.
