Nathan visits Elizabeth at the school to give her an apple and tell her Allie will be going home with Opal since he'll be a witness in a trial outside of town.

Of course, just as he's leaving, Lucas is on his way in to see Elizabeth.

Lucas invites Elizabeth to go to Union City as his guest to see a reading by Virginia Woolf.

Lucas wants to borrow Henry's car, too.

Jesse carries Clara over the threshold.

Lucas is not up for being amusement where Elizabeth is concerned. And she has a "but" to her acceptance. She will not accompany him if he wants to consider the event a date.

It will be his pleasure to escort her in any way she finds acceptable. She's thrilled, but his heart is going to be broken.

Nobody is acting normal as they encounter Nathan.

Lucas has the kitchen prepare them some food for the road before they left, and the twosome shares a roadside picnic.

She's thinking about Little Jack, but also very excited about what Virginia Woolf will have to say. He went to quite a bit of trouble to secure the tickets because he really believed she would enjoy it.

Allie visits Nathan to deliver the news nobody else wanted to share with him.

Things get awkward at the hotel.

Rosemary cannot find Dog, so Jack will not go down for a nap. They think they might have lost Dog somewhere in town.

Bill wonders why Jesse didn't take much from his old house. Jesse thinks his things would be in the way, and Clara likes a tidy house, so he doesn't want to mess anything up.

Leland is looking all over town for Dog and gets a call from Rosemary at the store. She's panicking.

Lucas hasn't finished the book she's just written. In fact, he's not a fan of Virginia Woolf at all.

Neither Lucas nor Elizabeth likes mushrooms, but they love the dish they're eating.

He wonders if she misses the life she once had. Yes, but she can't imagine being anywhere else now. And Lucas admits that he chose Hope Valley because he was looking for someone and somewhere to settle to raise a family.

Rosemary and Leland notice how quiet it is without Little Jack around. They miss him.

Nathan and Allie run into Elizabeth and Jack on the street. He isn't a gentleman and welcomes her back rather sarcastically. Of course, it upsets Elizabeth.
