When Calls the Heart Season 12 Episode 5 “Mom’s the Word” Recap
Nathan Goes Undercover in a High-Stakes Poker Game
This episode adds more intrigue to the mystery of the gold coin! Jed Campbell shares that he used the coin at Yost’s shop, but he insists he has no idea about its link to the notorious Garrison gang or the train robbery. He shares that he won the coin in a secret poker game in Union City, guiding Rosemary and Bill to Toddy Davis, an estate dealer who once owned the coin.
Rosemary and Bill, eager to take on the role of detectives, are looking forward to joining the poker game themselves. Nathan jumps in, saying it’s too risky for them. The twist? Nathan isn’t really the most polished poker player. With a quick makeover and some helpful tips from Rosemary and Bill, he turns into “Danny DeMarco,” a serious businessman.
Nathan stays relaxed at the poker game, drawing Toddy’s interest. With a clever backstory, he manages to get Toddy’s contact info, paving the way for the next steps in the investigation. Do you think Nathan’s undercover work will pay off? Let’s wait and see what happens!

Lucas and Lee have been experiencing some tension lately since Lucas changed his mind about the National Park plans, which has left Lee feeling a bit let down. It looks like both men are having a tough time admitting their mistakes, and their friendship might be facing some challenges.
Here comes Fiona, back in Hope Valley after chasing her dreams in San Francisco. She brings along a hitchhiker named Ava, and her arrival leads to some surprising changes. Fiona’s influence encourages Pastor Joseph and Mike Hickam to get involved—just a bit. They create a scenario that brings Lucas and Lee together for some time in the woods.
Stuck together and with no other option but to chat, the two finally share their thoughts. Lucas understands that his desire to please others has affected those he cares about, and Lee acknowledges that he shouldn’t have pushed Lucas away.

Nathan asks Elizabeth to have a chat with Allie, but Elizabeth understands that teenagers don’t always take advice to heart. Things take a turn when Elizabeth spots Wyatt having a playful moment with Ava at the hotel. It seems that Allie’s feelings are definitely more intense than Wyatt’s.
Even with Elizabeth’s warnings, Allie chooses to take a leap of faith and asks Wyatt out. Sadly, he kindly lets her know that she’s not quite “his speed.” Allie faces a challenging moment as she discovers an important lesson about love. But there’s a bright side: the experience brings her closer to Elizabeth, making their bond even stronger.
