In tonight’s When Calls The Heart episode, Nathan was ready to propose. He has the ring. He has the will. The one thing he needs is the moment. The perfect moment to propose and it took him a while to realize that perfect was overrated. First, there was the trial.

They were taking Pioneer Electric to trial for the Benson Hills Fire. Elizabeth took time off to be there for the trial. Minnie did the same. She couldn’t get her husband to go. Joseph was worried that they wouldn’t get justice and admittedly the case was far more difficult once they lost their star witness.

Christopher was still missing. With him gone, Pioneer Electric were claiming he made it all up. They said they had nothing to do with the fire and that Chrisopher couldn’t stand by his words or show up to court. They failed to mention that ran Christopher off the road.

He was left seriously injured. He feared for his life. He feared for his loved ones. He ran because he thought that way he could keep everyone safe. The defense attorney was twisting that because they knew no on could connect his client to the attempt on Christopher’s life.

Nathan still tried to bring it up in his testimony. It just didn’t matter as much because there was no credible evidence to back the accusation. The car that was used was torched. The license plate was untraceable. It was all hearsay.

The judge in this case needed merely a little bit of doubt to dismiss the charges. The defense attorney was good at introducing that doubt. There was Nathan’s testimony that couldn’t be verified. There were the fake maps and the possibility of why fakes were handed over to the authorities.

The defense could claim that it was man-made error. The error could’ve been on Christopher’s end. There’s no proof that he was forced to put the mechanism where he did. It was only his written statement. It wasn’t like he was there. Or that they could question him in any way.

It’s why the defense attorney tried to get the statement tossed. The maps themselves was something they could claim was a mistake, but they couldn’t say the same about the supposed controlled burn on some farm. The one that the mounties made up.

They did a “drip test”. They wanted to show a tie between Pioneer Electric and National Insurance. They fed the insurance company false information. Pioneer tried to bring it up in court. Only they didn’t do their due diligence. They never investigated this farm.

They would’ve realized it wasn’t real if they had. They instead relied on information fed to them illegally in what was a conspiracy. Bill proved that in court when he called Rosemary up to the stand. She corroborated feeding false information to her insurance adjuster.

The defense attorney knew that it looked bad. The same for the judge. The judge ruled it was inadmissible because it was entrapment. He sided with the defense on this one.

It was the prosecutor’s ace in the hole. They were suddenly left without after the judge’s ruling and so Nathan was right when he told Allie that they were facing a fight with Pioneer. It was a fight they were losing when Elizabeth came up with an idea. Elizabeth went to Christopher’s father, Henry. Henry had a similar story with his morals that his son was currently fighting.

Henry went on the radio. He sent out an open call to his son. He asked him to come home. He said it was never too late to do so and Christopher heard him. Christopher returned to Hope Valley. He also brought the mechanism that started the fire.

He showed in open court that he had been right with his claims. He said it was his boss’s orders. He was ready to defend his word and he didn’t need to because just showing up with it was enough for the judge. He made a ruling. He found Pioneer Electric guilty of the fire that burned down Benson Hills.

They were suddenly liable. National Insurance’s conspiracy with Pioneer Electric was also up for debate. Rosemary naturally let the whole trial become front page. The one story she didn’t break was Bill and Georgie who kissed at the afterparty.

She said she already called it months ago. Nathan had Allie babysit LJ. He made dinner for him and Elizabeth. He was going to propose when they got interrupted. LJ was sad he couldn’t go hiking/camping tree with the older boys from school. He was too young to spend a whole night away from his mother.

Elizabeth tried to tell him as much. Only he didn’t like it. He climbed up a tree hoping to still get the same view of Hope Valley as he would on the hike and he got stuck up there. Nathan had to help him down because Allie was too short to do it. It also interrupted the proposal.

LJ was really upset afterwards. He wouldn’t eat dinner. Nathan cheered her up. He could’ve proposed then and he didn’t. They were dragging this out all the way to the season finale.

And maybe then there will be Lucas’s reunion with Edie Martell.

THE END!
