Synopsis- New miners arrive in Coal Valley to help with the final stages of reopening the mine and the town decides to celebrate with a dance at the end of the week. One of the new miners, Billy Hamilton has taken a special interest in Elizabeth and she is flattered by the attention. Meanwhile, pregnant widow Carla Noonan has moved in with Abigail and Elizabeth so the women can keep and eye on her for the remainder of her pregnancy. As Elizabeth and Billy's relationship develops, Jack becomes suspicious of Billy's motives for pursuing Elizabeth so persistently.



My Take on the DVD
My wife and I have enjoyed watching this series. At first we were a bit skeptical because we had watched the pilot prior to the series and liked the actors in that, only to find that the actors had been changed in the series. As we got into the series though we ended up falling in love with the characters and the writing. The series is well written and directed with strong acting and characterization. This DVD really brings you into the series and you get to see the start of some of the love that begins between Elizabeth and Jack as well as a catch when Billy comes on the scene. The two episodes were fun and engaging and leave you wanting to watch more, or at least they did for my wife and I. All-in-all this was a well done DVD, and I for one am looking forward to the next season!
