At the end of “Changing Times,” Jesse (Aren Buchholz) was missing and his wife Clara (Eva Bourne) was frantic with worry. There were also reunions amidst the goodbyes. Is this another clue that Lori Loughlin might be returning to When Calls the Heart ? It’s seeming like more of a possibility. Then, he sets out for an unspecified destination, though his face when he looks at Abigail’s Cafe suggests he hopes to reunite with the woman who he’s said encouraged him to be a better person. Henry Gowen (Martin Cummins) leaves Gowen Petroleum in Hickam’s capable hands and gives Bill (Jack Wagner) some information that could help in his investigation of the mine disaster. Gowen says goodbye, Clara and Jesse reuniteĬarson wasn’t the only character saying goodbye to Hope Valley. We didn’t get any resolution to those issues in this episode, though the conflict sets up plenty of interesting storylines for a possible season 9. Hope Valley’s small-town character is a key part of its identity, and it’s understandable people would get nervous when that’s threatened. No one is happy that Wyman Walden (Wesley Salter) is skulking around buying up properties or that a factory might be coming to town. (So far, we don’t know if Carson’s gone for good or if his absence from Hope Valley will be temporary.) He get a touching sendoff from his friends, but the moment is bittersweet. Carson is off to achieve his long-held dream, but it means giving up the woman he loves. With Carson (Paul Greene) having decided against proposing to Faith (Andrea Brooks), they say their goodbyes as he leaves for his surgical fellowship in Baltimore. In other cases, change is difficult, though necessary. Hickam (Ben Rosenbaum) gets a big promotion and moves forward with his plans for an oil pipeline, with a little help from Fiona (Kayla Wallace). Rosemary (Pascale Hutton) has found her calling as the editor-in-chief of her own newspaper.

This season’s finale, which ran about 5 minutes longer than usual, was no exception.Īs with last week, change was a major theme in “The Kiss.” In some cases, it was positive change. When Calls the Heart squeezes a lot of story into each episode.
