Wow, so much about this episode that was just...good. The real Hope Valley is back, and wow, I am ecstatic. I enjoyed every minute, even more than I thought I would. Reminiscent of early seasons, but even better. Kudos to the new Show Runner, Lindsay Sturman, and the writers for bringing back the heart and the hope to Hope Valley.
Okay, a few highlights: I liked seeing Lucas and Nathan work together. (But did Elizabeth look worried when they said that Nathan would be at the Governor's side?). Mei and Mike Hickam are adorable together - give us more, please. Rosemary and Lee are once again "couples goals", thank you for that!
Dear costuming: Just have to give you a well-deserved shout out. All the dresses were amazing. (Special mentions to Fiona, Minnie, Elizabeth, and Florence, Just. Wow!) And the way Elizabeth loans out so many, like a "remembrance" of sweet moments in the show, over the years, when she wore them. Such a great idea, thank you, wardrobe!
Great medal ceremony, thank you for finally giving some recognition to our selfless, humble, noble Mountie. I loved the way Elizabeth sought him out before hand, saw him and his little struggle, and offered such great advice. And then she's the friendly face he seeks out, once he's up there on stage. Wow, so poignant! He speaks right to her. How did she stay on her feet? Lol. And, what a speech it was. So touching and just right, so Nathan. Loved every word.
Quote of the Episode: Elizabeth's "Be safe". Just one question: is "be safe" the new "I'm in love with you"? Because she totally is. Will she realize it?
Yes, the wrong dress is definitely a sign that something is not right with this upcoming wedding. Yes. She made the wrong choice. Will she realize in time?
And wow, that moment when Nathan sees her in said "wrong dress". He doesn't even care that she looks like a "meringue". Lol. Oh, that a man would look at me like that.
Chris McNally was incredible this episode. I didn't believe for a minute that Lucas was teaming up with the governor, I knew he was playing them, even if he is a great bluffer. But, the writers have given us enough of a redemptive arc for him this season (one that makes sense and happens onscreen) that we know he is now one of the "good guys". (Thank you, writers, for that! Finally! You have shown us that he is a good guy instead of just telling us.) He has become the "hero behind the scenes" that we can get behind. And wow, that speech. So courageous and just selfless. I hope he gets the recognition he deserves for putting himself out there, on the front line of this fight, and standing up for what's right.
Even if I still don't think Lucas and Elizabeth belong together, I am truly coming to appreciate Lucas as a character, and I can't wait to see what's next for him. It's evident that this couple's paths are diverging, but I am totally onboard for that "larger stage" for him!
