BRAN’S WHEN CALLS THE SEASON (SEASON 13 EPISODE 5) SYNOPSIS

Elizabeth is talking to little Jack about how brave he is, but he says he doesn’t want to be “little Jack” anymore. From now on, he wants to be known as LG. Our boy is all grown up.

Lee shows Gwen his plans to rebuild Benson Hills. Rosemary bought Gwen a pair of overalls—and she actually loves them.

Nathan notices how much time Allie is spending with Ollie, and he is not thrilled about it.

Gowen is talking with his son, who has great news: he got a promotion at the electric company. He also asks Gowen to give the father-of-the-groom toast at his wedding, which makes Gowen incredibly happy.

Cooper and Toby show up late to class without their assignment done—and their shoes are covered in dirt. What are those boys up to?

Lee makes his pitch to the council about rebuilding Benson Hills, and it goes really well.

Later, Lee and Nathan check out the fire pit in the woods that may have started the wildfire when Ollie suddenly finds a fossil. He’s pumped. Bill is even more pumped.

But they also find some cement nearby. Could that mean something? They bring Gowen in to take a look, and he brushes it off as probably nothing.

Elizabeth sees the boys heading into the woods with gear, so she follows them. Turns out, they’re planting trees—trying to make things right after the fire. Elizabeth joins in to help.

Nathan is in full grumpy dad mode this episode because of how much time Allie and Ollie are spending together. When he catches them talking during work hours, he lectures Ollie about responsibility and being worthy…of a job.

Lee comes home with great news—he got the contract to rebuild! Gwen gives him a drawing of her old house and asks him to rebuild it exactly as it was, cracked window and all.

Allie, Ollie, and Bill head back into the woods to dig for fossils, which makes Allie late for dinner. Nathan snaps at her, immediately regrets it, and goes to talk things through with Elizabeth.

Meanwhile, Lee is showing Rosemary more building plans when he suddenly drops his pencil and doesn’t feel right. She rushes him to see Faith.

Nathan and Allie make up, and Allie’s like, “I don’t know why you think I’m in love with Ollie.”

At school the next day, Elizabeth sends all the kids outside to plant trees—for the lesson, of course.

At the doctor’s office, Lee is relieved to learn he didn’t have a heart attack. Faith thinks it was an anxiety attack and tells him he needs to slow down. Apparently having 100 jobs isn’t great for your health.

So Lee decides his version of “rest” will be helping plant a ton of trees.

The episode ends with Gowen noticing his son packing up in a hurry. He claims he has a meeting—but Gowen spots cement in the trunk of his car.

Uh oh.
