Meanwhile, Lucas, the mysterious new owner of Abigail's cafe, arouses suspicion when he dodges questions about his past. And Rosemary decides to play matchmaker for Carson and Faith. Will she succeed?

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Daniel Lissing (Jack) left the series voluntarily, making his death a permanent exit—hence the unusually heavy grief arc for a Hallmark property.
When Calls the Heart survived the 2019 college admissions scandal with Lori Loughlin edited out of several episodes, making this film a fascinating pre-controversy artifact.
