Rebecca applies her medical knowledge when Nash breaks his leg.

April 9, 2026 | Hallmark Channel

• Bethany Joy Lenz as Rebecca Clarke
• Benjamin Ayres as Tom Moore

The prospectors are trying for gold. Some are lucky. Others like ol' Lars Yost…not so much.

Tom's crew is out there when a rattlesnake appears and causes a horse to freak out.

Rebecca brings Sarah over to Peggy's house to play. When they get there, Tom's there cutting some wood. The workers come flying up because Nash fell off the horse in the snake scare. His leg is badly broken. If only there was someone who had some medical experience.

Alexander & Olivia have some flirty flirty fun time.

While Lars is working in the boarding house, some of the upstairs caves in. Bad news.

Rebecca agrees to try to help the leg situation, trying to remember how her doctor husband used to handle stuff like this.

Alexander is feeling a bit bored with the lack of action, so when an ol' buddy shows up and asks him to help find this outlaw on the run, he jumps at the opportunity.

After fixing the leg and making the cast, Rebecca agrees to go back to Tom's place for dinner, just the two of them. He opens up about how he was once engaged to a city girl. It didn't end well.

She tells him about the roof. And he's like we all have our issues - I gotta plow the field. She's like that's easy compared to my roof. So they hatch a deal - Sarah will plow his field and he'll get her the wood she needs. When she tells Hattie about the deal she's like….good luck out there.

The next day, Rebecca gets out there. Turns out, it's hard.

Alexander and his buddy are out in the woods and come across a trip wire. Someone is out to get 'em!

The kids are trying to help with the farm chores with Nash being out but it's not going great. A goat gets loose and goes nuts.

Alexander helps catch the bad guy. He absolutely loves it.

Rebecca works tirelessly all day and into the evening to the point of tears. Tom comes and tells her that she wins and that he'll provide the wood.

He brings it the next day and Alexander comes out to ask if he can be her first boarder when she opens. Tom asks if she's ok with that and she says she'll have to be.

Lorelai and Max's relationship gets more serious. Luke's girlfriend Rachel returns. Meanwhile, Rory tries to win Dean back.

May 10, 2001 | The WB

• Lauren Graham as Lorelai Gilmore
• Alexis Bledel as Rory Gilmore

The episode kicks off with Luke coming over to fix Lorelai's railing...at 6:30a. She's not thrilled. Rory's not thrilled. THE DISRESPECT!

Rory finds the Dean box in the closet. Lorelai explains why she kept it and she thanks her, takes the box into her room to look through all the stuff. Later, when hanging out with Lane, she decides to go into the market to talk to Dean. When she walks in, she's shocked to find out that Dean isn't there. He should be there!

At school, Tristan asks Rory out on a date to a concert. She says we can't date. Womp womp.

Rachel asks Lorelai if she knows where Luke is. He's not really been around. Lorelai goes to talk to Luke and he's like I'm freaking out man. She's always around. I'm a loner. Uh oh.

Rory goes to Dean's house to go see if he's there. His little sister opens the door and Rory makes her cry.

It's time for family date night with Max Medina and it's a big one - they take her to a town hall meeting. Serious stuff is on the docket - like why there's more than 1 town troubadour. Rory stands up and says that he should be able to sing his songs because it's how you express your feelings!

Paris gets mad at Rory because she heard from Tristan that Rory is going to a concert.

Rachel breaks up with Luke because she can tell that he has feelings for Lorelai. He's like I don't know what you're talking about but then promptly goes to talk to Lorelai, but Max is there. This turns into a whole thing. After Luke leaves, they argue which leads to Max proposing.

Meanwhile, at Chilton, Tristan tries to convince Rory to go to the concert by taking her books and refusing to give them back until she says yes. Dean shows up and sees him holding the books and assumes they're a thing. Rory convinces him that they're nothing by telling him that she loves him! And they kiss BIG ONESSSS!

The next day at work, Lorelai walks in to 1000 daisies. She calls Max and he says I want to marry you. Think about it.

Episode ends with Rory and Lorelai running to each other and jumping and screaming.

It's Tuesday which means there's a new Hallmark movie to review!

When a piano appears in the park gazebo, interfering with important work, city manager Allie joins forces with rookie cop Ryan to remove it, only to find both music and love are hard to resist.

April 11, 2026 | Hallmark

Director: Peter Benson

Cast:

• Laci J Mailey as Allie
• Beau Mirchoff as Ryan
• Everett Andres

Allie is a city manager who talks to people constantly while she walks. The park is about to be demolished. We then meet Officer Ryan Pruett. He's new in town and is insanely detailed. So detailed that he was transferred from traffic because he took too long with the details of the tickets.

He gives Allie a jaywalking ticket because rules are rules. She can't believe it.

While walking to the office, she sees a piano in the gazebo. It's literally never been there before.

So she goes to the police but unfortunately for her, Ryan is on the case. He insists on doing an investigation which gives no answers but that's enough for him to approve having the piano moved.

Much to her surprise, the piano is back the next day. But since it's a different one, they gotta reopen the case. They investigate some other people that may be interested but no hits. Let's move that piano!

To make sure another piano doesn't show up, they decide to spend the night together in his truck doing a little stake out! They have a great night together, getting to know each other more, and ultimately falling asleep. When they wake up, there's a piano. Wtf!

She notices how much people love the piano so she talks to the mayor but hands are tied. There's grant money attached to demolishing the gazebo and putting in a fountain.

He is up for a job in Seattle and does an interview and is now able to talk about how much he loves community because of Allie.

They figure out who put the pianos there - a woman who got married at the gazebo and didn't wanna see it torn down.

But this is life sometimes. It's almost demolition time but another piano shows up. Who is this! The town is pumped!

The mayor finally realizes maybe the piano is good for the town. Allie tries to figure out a way to make this work.

And she does. Change what the town square is. The gazebo and piano are now just a park. A little park music.

He shows up and implies he put the piano there and also he's staying. They kiss.

Fast forward 3 months and the gazebo is still crushing it.
