- Hearts break, mend, and open as relationships develop in New Bedford on Valentines Day.
- Valentine's Day 1936 is approaching and Max is directing this year's edition of the Valentine's Follies. Against this backdrop, romantic relationships are formed and broken. Toppy is not feeling much in a romantic Valentine's mood as she has just returned from Toronto with her signed divorce papers in hand. Archie, however, has other ideas. He proposes to her that he, when appropriate, will ask her to marry him. Although she knew that he would eventually ask her, she was not prepared to actually hear the words. She is also not prepared for her encounter with Mother Attenborough, which not only threatens the unofficial proposal (to which Toppy did not really answer), but also Toppy and Archie's relationship altogether. Alice gives birth to a baby boy, who she names Jacob. She nor her family have the means to keep Jacob, and everyone, including Dr. Barlow and her mother, convinces her that she does need to give him away to a family that can take care of him. When that time comes, she refuses and does whatever she can to keep him. When all avenues are exhausted, she comes to some realizations including that she does need to give him away and needs to leave New Bedford to start a new life. With the former, she chooses a couple with whom she thinks she can trust. With the latter, Hub tells her his true feelings as she departs town. Female shy Jim is facing his sixth Valentine's Day without his deceased wife, Kathleen, but he does have Pritchard and unfortunately for him his in-laws, Louey and Rose Pritchard, who are coming for a visit to New Bedford from Niagara Falls. The reason for the Pritchard's visit is to take Pritchard back to Niagara Falls with them as they feel Jim is an unsuitable parent for their grandson. Pritchard does whatever he can to stay with his father including enlisting Grace in a ruse, the ruse which ultimately backfires. However, Rose, away from the arguments between Louey and Jim, confides to Jim about his father-in-law and convinces him that after six years without Kathleen he needs to get on with his life. Resulting from this talk between Rose and Jim, perhaps Grace will get her first ever Valentine's Day card from a real beau, and perhaps Jim and Grace can get beyond calling each other "Miss Bailey" and "Mr. Flett".—Huggo
