"Prelude to a Kiss" is the twelfth episode in the first season of When Calls the Heart. It originally aired on March 29 in 2014.
Coal Valley is finally going to get some justice for the mine explosion when Circuit Judge Jedidiah Black comes to town. Jack confronts Elizabeth about her teaching offer. Abigail begins letting go of the past and starts looking to the future with Bill Avery. Jack and Elizabeth's relationship changes in a big way.
The rumour mill is working on overdrive in Coal Valley. Among the hottest topics making round is the potential departure of Elizabeth Thatcher. The rumour has even made it's way to the ears of Jack Thornton. Emotionally overwhelmed, Jack musters the strength to confront Elizabeth and ask if she is really accepting the teaching job back East. Elizabeth does not deny that she's been offered the position, but she also challenges Jack to confront his feeling, not just for her, but for Rosemary as well. Jack agrees to take some time to think about his true feelings, but he seems more convinced than ever that Elizabeth has captured his heart. Meanwhile, the investigation into the deadly mine disaster is heating up. While gathering evidence in the destroyed mineshaft, Bill is assaulted by masked assailants. His injuries are not life-threatening but the message has clearly been sent. The assault sends Mountie Jack into the darkness to try and find the culprits. While Jack is searching for the assailants, Rosemary searches the jail for Jack. When she doesn't find him, she decides to take a look at some personal items Jack has left lying on a table. In a stack of papers, Rosemary finds a drawing of Elizabeth. Sensing an opportunity to strike at her rival, Rosemary defaces the image before throwing it into the trash. Later, Jack returns unsuccessful from his search. As he rides back into town he finds Elizabeth sitting outside looking into the distance. While she claims that she's looking for Haley's comet, it's obvious that Elizabeth's true motive is her concern for Jack. Concern for the future of the town has motivated the mine disaster's lone survivor, Mr. Miller, to propose a bold plan to rebuild the church and the schoolhouse.
During the town meeting, Mr. Miller acknowledges that he can no longer work in the mine, but he is confident that his skills with a hammer will enable him to lead the rebuilding of these important institutions. Even Mr. Gowen agrees, but funding seems to be an issue. While the townsfolk are struggling to make ends meet, Mr. Gowen suggests that the company could foot the bill, but for the pending investigation. Mr. Gowen also suggests that Bill’s judgment may be clouded due to his “friendship” with Abigail. When Elizabeth comes to Abigail’s defence, Gowen suggests that her replacement would better be suited to engage in the debate. Having heard the rumour that Elizabeth would be leaving, Gowen effectively silences Elizabeth as a supporter of Abigail. The announcement also sends shockwaves through the parents and students in attendance. The only person who seems remotely pleased is Rosemary, who cracks a wry smile as she watches Elizabeth twist in the wind.
Despite her efforts, however, Rosemary achieves little in the way of winning Jack’s heart. The final act comes in the saloon where, while holding court, Rosemary plays the song that was playing when Jack proposed to her. But instead of bringing Jack back to her, the performance pushes him over the edge. Jack finally confronts Rosemary over his feelings about her and Elizabeth. Saying that her showing up in Coal Valley has brought back old feelings, Jack also has come to realize that his relationship with Elizabeth is the relationship he wants to pursue.
Meanwhile, during the next town meeting, Mr. Miller reveals that an anonymous donor has helped raise the money for the church and schoolhouse. Dottie, the mayor’s wife, assumes that Mr. Gowen is the gracious benefactor and quickly rises to give him praise. Mr. Miller quickly dashes that idea saying that it’s not Mr. Gowen. It’s then suggested that Elizabeth’s father is the donor, but Elizabeth responds saying it’s not her father. Elizabeth then suggests that the donor is a very generous person with fewer resources than her father. As she looks at Jack, it becomes evident that he is the donor. The townsfolk then come to the realization that Jack donated his entire reward for the capture of the Tolliver gang to the rebuilding of the church and school.
While the townsfolk celebrate Gowen takes another opportunity to make another move against Abigail and the pending investigation. Gowen and the company lawyer release documents that implicate her late husband in the mine disaster. Gowen accuses Mr. Stanton of being reckless and says that he was deeply in debt causing him to make deadly decisions. Abigail is devastated as the townsfolk look on in horror. Later, in the café, Abigail reveals to Elizabeth that Noah wanted to start his own business and that his desire may have caused him to do something reckless.The next morning Elizabeth is running late to school. When she enters, Elizabeth is shocked to find all of her students in their seats awaiting her. The students tell Elizabeth that they wanted to get into class before her so they could do something to show how much they love her.
On the chalkboard, they write a poem from their first week together. The students shower her with gifts, including a picture of Haley’s comet and a card from the entire class reading “You Brought Sunshine to our Lives.”
