Emily misses Aunt Elizabeth, Aunt Laura takes to her bed as her laudanum intake increases, and Uncle Malcolm is coming to New Moon to claim what is his.
The girls pray to St. Agnes to help them end up happily married, but to everyone's surprise it is Cousin Jimmy who falls in love with Eve Kinch, whose family seeks shelter at New Moon after a fire.
Jimmy Murray faces being hung for the murder of Abner Kinch because of the testimony of Mrs. Stuart, who is eager for the opportunity to pay back the Murray clan for their slights.
Oliver Murray leaves his son at New Moon to make his fortune on the Klondike. Perry, Ilse and Emily attempt to find Maida Flynn to return her son to her but are instead tricked by a travelling mystic lady.
In a surprise ending for the season we watch four separate outcomes for Laura's wedding day. Each is seen in the imagination of Emily but which is the real one.
