When the key witness against him fails to appear, Gowen reassumes his position as mayor and, without warning, summarily fires Elizabeth as the school's teacher, citing a hidden scandal from her past. With nearly the entire town's support, especially the children, and Abigail at her side, she travels to Cape Fullerton in hopes of resolving the false allegations. Bill lays out a plan to learn what underhandedness is going on between Gowen and Ray Wyatt. Following days of instruction under Mr. Stoneman, the school's strict new teacher, Cody takes a stand in defense of Emily and leads the students in a walkout. When Jack delivers the Tate brothers to Mountie Headquarters, he receives bad news about the young Mountie he mentored.
