A mysterious stranger arrives in town
In the previous episode, Carson told Abigail and Frank, the pastor, about his wife.
She died, and heartbroken, he left to start a new life. Abigail and Frank seem satisfied until a new visitor comes to town. She is the sister of Carson's wife, and she claims that Carson killed her sister. Carson was a doctor, and he performed an operation on his wife. She died on the table. Bill Avery contacts the medical board to get information about what happened. Carson was cleared of all charges, but his sister-in-law insists on pursuing charges against Carson. When he returns to town after an overnight trip, Abigail is cool toward him. Eventually, she admits that Carson's sister-in-law is in town and wants to press charges.
Cody's sister Becky also comes to town as a surprise for Cody. Opal, one of Elizabeth's students, has a grandmother who is sick and her parents have to leave town. Elizabeth offers to take care of Opal while her parents are out of town. She also comforts Phillip because Phillip is worried that his dad will forget about him because his dad likes the local nurse, Faith. Elizabeth has an idea to make Phillip comfortable with Faith, and he suggests she take Phillip out to find caterpillars for a project he's working on for school.

Later at the school, Elizabeth, Faith, and Abigail discuss Carson's situation. Abigail mentions that Cody isn't doing very well as he hasn't been eating or sleeping well.
