Abigail is preparing the town feast, but it seems like everyone is changing their minds on what they want to cook. When someone tells Abigail they aren’t doing their roast, she’s tasked with the main part of the meal. Just as she thinks she has things under control, a group of orphans come into town with two caretakers named Grace and Lilian. Grace and Lilian reveal they are on their way to open an orphanage in the house where Lilian grew up, but the wheel on their carriage broke down. When Bill asks why they went the path they went, things seem fishy, but they must stay in Hope Sound until after Christmas, because the blacksmith who can fix the wheel is out of town.

The children of Hope Valley embrace the orphans and decide to give them their most beloved toys, knowing that the children don’t have much themselves.
