In season 10 of Hallmark’s “When Calls the Heart,” Bill Avery uses the hot springs to help him avoid a serious illness and regain his power and vitality. However, he is caught off guard by the unexpected appearance of the enigmatic Madeline St. John and her son, Jamie. He finds himself curiously attracted to her despite his reluctance and initial distaste, but she appears to have her own purpose. Fans are understandably interested to learn if there is any chance that Bill and Madeline will wind up as a pair given their chemistry and developing friendship. Let’s talk about the potential outcomes for the same, shall we? Spoilers follow!
Will Madeline and Bill End Up Together?
While taking a hot springs bath, Bill discovers a remarkable cure for his respiratory disease, but he is reluctant to tell anyone about it. He feels forced to reveal his discovery, but when word of the hot springs spreads and visitors begin pouring into Hope Valley, he gets frustrated. One such group of visitors that irritate Bill on their very first day in town is Madeline St. John, a wealthy young widow from Philadelphia, and her little son Jamie. He is compelled to share his booth at the saloon in addition to the hot springs with her.
Bill gradually becomes friends with Jamie and realises that Madeline is not as entitled as he had made her out to be, which causes his opinion of her to start to shift. She is also unquestionably stunning and endearing, and his buddies Mike and Nathan begin to see that he is beginning to feel a little awestruck by her. However, Bill disproves their ideas and maintains that he doesn’t have feelings for Madeline romantically. Additionally, he initially withholds information about his own available land from her when he discovers she wants to purchase land in Hope Valley because he suspects her intents after discovering her exact needs.
Bill, however, gradually changes after witnessing Madeline’s ostensibly challenging circumstance, and when she wants to flee the city, he swoops in to save her by proposing to give her his land. Despite getting everything she desired, she still tells Jamie that they would be leaving Hope Valley and returning to Philadelphia. Bill attempts to be friends with her, but all of a sudden she acts strange and is distant. But after seeing her kid happy in the community, Madeline once more changes her mind and decides to stay longer.
Regarding Madeline and Bill’s equation, there are still many obstacles in their way even if there are undoubtedly numerous chances that they will end up dating. The main one is that she has managed to keep Bill from knowing her true motives for visiting Hope Valley so far. Given her phone discussions with an enigma, Madeline is obviously concealing a sizable secret regarding her genuine reasons for coming to town. In addition, the caller even cautions her to finish her work quickly, but she begins to show signs of warming up to the locals and shows reluctance to hurt them.
Even though Bill and Madeline are close, their possible relationship will not be happy if her secret is ever revealed. The former is also a man of the law, thus if she is actually involved in any shady dealings, it will severely put them against one another in addition to the romantic hurt. Additionally, Bill may believe he is not ready for another relationship due to his unpleasant experiences with his ex-wife and Abigail’s departure from Hope Valley.
Nevertheless, Bill follows Nathan’s suggestion and approaches Madeline, but she doesn’t seem eager to develop a romantic relationship with him. This is probably because the young widow is caught between her obligation and her developing affections for him, and she may find it difficult to decide which to choose. However, for the sake of her son’s happiness and her sudden love to Bill, she might decide to change her mind about her initial plan, which is claimed to not be in the best interests of Hope Valley.
Not only that, but Madeline might even decide to tell Bill the truth about her motivations; however, it is up to him to decide whether to honour her candour or punish her. In conclusion, even though it is yet unclear if the two would act on their newly discovered sentiments and pursue each other openly, one thing is certain: the timing and manner of Madeline’s arriving to Hope Valley will have a significant impact on her relationship with Bill.
