As morning dawns in Hope Valley, Faith, Mei, and Fiona are quick to notice Bill's cheerful demeanor. He exudes a revitalized energy as he heads towards Ned’s office to pick up a parcel.

Outside the saloon, Elizabeth is waiting with Rosemary for her family’s arrival. It’s obvious that she is nervous. Rosemary reassures a concerned Elizabeth that her sister and aunt are visiting to help plan the wedding and to see Little Jack, not to judge Lucas. Bill wishes Lucas luck just as Aunt Agatha and Julie arrive. Aunt Agatha attempts to break the ice with a joke, but Elizabeth’s concern remains.

In his office, Lee shares his excitement with Rosemary about an opportune business meeting. Rosemary discusses plans to support Elizabeth through wedding planning with her family. Rosemary recognizes the potential clash between her family's preference for extravagance and Elizabeth's desire for simplicity, so Rosemary wants to be present as an advocate for Elizabeth's wishes.

Back in town, Cooper pesters Bill to allow the kids to swim in the hot springs again. When Bill protests, citing the spring’s safety, Cooper points out that Bill has been going up there every day so it must be safe. Unable to delve into a detailed explanation, Bill swiftly escapes the situation by excusing himself and making his way to his office.

At the pharmacy, Nathan asks Mei to fill a prescription for his shoulder pain. Mei notices that Nathan avoided Faith and saw someone else for his prescription. Nathan denies it, but Mei counters, noting Nathan traveled all the way to another town rather than face Faith. Nathan squirms at the truth.
