Calls the Heart.

## Background

Born into a wealthy family in Hamilton, Elizabeth is the middle daughter of William and Grace Thatcher. She has two sisters, one of them being Julie and the other Viola. Her birthday is June 3rd.

In her early twenties, she headed out west to Coal Valley (now Hope Valley) to be a schoolteacher. She originally taught students there in a saloon and housed with a local widow, Abigail Stanton. She is married to the love of her life, Constable Jack Thornton. Charles Kensington, and old friend of hers, proposed to her at the end of the second season, but she ultimately refused. She and Jack then went on to date for the third and fourth season, getting engaged to Jack midway through the fourth season and marrying him in the fifth.

In the final two episodes of season five, it was revealed that Jack was killed in an avalanche while serving in his capacity as a Mountie training other Mounties. Soon after his death, Elizabeth begins to experience pregnancy symptoms and Abigail informs her that she is pregnant with Jack's child.

In the Christmas special of season 6, she gives birth to Jack Jr. named after her late husband. While she initially struggles with Jack's absence, she eventually becomes thankful for little Jack as a way to remember him. In season six, a new mountie, Nathan Grant, comes to town. While he is initially cold, he warms up to Elizabeth and begins to have feelings for her. However, Elizabeth is interested in another newcomer in town, Lucas Bouchard. In the season six finale, Elizabeth chooses to dance with Bouchard in a Ladie's Choice dance.

Lucas and Nathan confess to Elizabeth that they (Lucas & Nathan) were in cahoots together and they were planning a "fake" relationship to Elizabeth. Elizabeth gets mad and slaps both Lucas & Nathan in the face. Lucas and Nathan leave Hope Valley (they didn't see or hear Jack coming back to Hope Valley).

Jack comes back to Hope Valley and he is reunited with his friends, dog Rip & horses Sarge and Jack III.

Elizabeth kisses and hugs Jack while Jack declares "I'm home!" to Elizabeth. Elizabeth introduces Jack to their son, Jack Jr. Jack becomes emotional during this meeting.

Elizabeth explains to Jack about the goings on in Hope Valley, including Lucas and Nathan.

Then, Elizabeth and Jack kiss and resume their romantic reunion (well, you can imagine what was going on so we'll just leave it at that). :) :)
