“When Calls the Heart” season 13 continues next week, but fans will notice a change in the schedule. Episode 6 will air on Saturday instead of its usual Sunday slot.
The episode, titled “Moment of Truth,” airs Saturday, February 7, on Hallmark Channel, due to the Super Bowl taking place during its regular date and time.
The shift comes as Hope Valley prepares for a major storyline involving new technology and the return of a familiar character.
‘When Calls the Heart’ Episode 6 Schedule Change and Synopsis
Hallmark’s official synopsis previews what’s ahead: “A familiar face returns and brings a fun, new piece of technology with her…the polygraph.”
That familiar face is expected to be Melissa Gilbert, who returns as Georgie McGill. Georgie first appeared during season 12, and Hallmark previously confirmed she would be back during season 13.
The network also teased a moment involving Nathan Grant, sharing,
“Nathan freezes when a playful line of questioning catches him off guard.”
‘When Calls the Heart’ Season 13 Episode 5 Recap
Episode 5, titled “Growing Pains,” moved the wildfire investigation forward while continuing several personal storylines around town.
Lee Coulter presented plans to rebuild Benson Hills and later learned Coulter Construction won the contract. While balancing multiple responsibilities, Lee pushed himself too hard and suffered an anxiety attack. Faith Carter urged him to slow down. Despite the setback, Lee joined Gwen, Toby, Cooper, and other residents to plant trees, turning recovery into a community effort.
Nathan Grant, Bill Avery, and Oliver Garrett continued investigating the fire and uncovered burned cement and unusual rock fragments. Their search raised more questions after Henry Gowen found similar materials in his son Christopher’s trunk, suggesting Christopher may be connected to what started the blaze.
