Since there are children involved, getting involved is more complicated. In many ways, Nathan, Elizabeth, Allie, and Little Jack seem like a comfortable family, but it's hard to blame Nathan for wanting their relationship defined.

Whatever Elizabeth decides will alter their lives because being in limbo isn't fair to any of them.

Elsewhere in the episode, our favorite investigative duo finds some new clues that may trigger Lucas's memory.

Seeing Rosemary and Bill team up has been so entertaining since they think alike and care about Lucas. Hopefully, we'll soon learn who hired Clayton Pike and their motives for having Lucas out of the way.

At the end of When Calls the Heart Season 11 Episode 4, it appeared Mayor Maisy and Mike had brokered an uneasy truce.

However, while she may like Mei, she still has thoughts about letting Hope Valley have its resort, making things difficult for Mike and Lee.

Both Lee and Mike have experience dealing with opinionated and controlling older sisters, so seeing how they deal with her demands will be interesting.

Apparently, if they can't reach a mutual decision, Henry also has an idea to broker peace between both sides. Sometimes, Henry's ideas work, and sometimes, they are disasters.

While Mike has to fight with his sister over the business, he also has to deal with her and his girlfriend bonding.

Maisy and Mei develop mutual respect for each other. To help Mike, Mei gives Maisy one of her infamous mud masks to try to relax his overdriven sister.

They touched on this before, but if Mei and Mike become more serious, that includes introducing them to their cultures and their families. While she's rough around the edges, bringing in Maisy was a good addition.

I'm excited to see the three of them interact and see some sibling rivalry in the series.

Apparently, I got my wish, and the Canfields feud and road to reconciliation will continue, but Joseph is just as stubborn as his brother.

As pastors often say, these two were cut from the same cloth. Neither will explain why they are angry but expect the other to apologize.

Cooper's plan almost worked, but Joseph knows he didn't write his brother a letter, so it's only a matter of time before the kids get caught.

Or will Minnie join her children in this plan to reunite the brothers? For once, their childish schemes are for a good cause.

Let's end on an encouraging and hopeful note. Anna returns from the teacher's college and teaches in Hope Valley.

With a long-running series, you can watch the students grow from young children to successful young adults. Anna last appeared on When Calls the Heart Season 9 Episode 8 when she moved in above the cafe and worked for Miinnie to earn money for college.

It would be exciting to see her again, but it was always tricky with these schoolhouses when so many students were the same age as the teacher. Anna grew up with several of these students. Will she feel comfortable teaching them?

I can't wait to hear how she's been and how she fares as a new teacher. These are the stories with heart because viewers have grown invested in these children's journeys.
