When Calls the Heart season 8 episode 9 is coming this weekend on Hallmark Channel, with the title "Pre-Wedding Jitters." The title alone suggests that the story is going in a different direction, with the focus shifting on Faith (Andrea Brooks) and Carson's (Paul Greene) storyline.

In When Calls the Heart season 8 episode 9, Faith and Carson might be taking their relationship to the next level. After having some second thoughts about his future, it looks like the latter is ready to accept the fellowship offer in Baltimore to further his career.

This opportunity will allow Carson to have more resources and knowledge once he returns to Hope Valley. Now that he's seemingly ready to go, Faith is ready to support him in the new chapter of his life. The promo of this week's episode hints that the two are planning to tie the knot before he leaves.

In episode 8, titled "A Parade and a Charade," Carson and Faith debated on whether they should stay in Hope Valley or he should accept the offer at John Hopkins. While they couldn't get on the same page at first, it looks like they started to agree on certain things in When Calls the Heart season 8 episode 9.

As seen in the clip, Carson told Faith that they should get married. If she agrees, this would let them make more specific plants for their future. They've been together for quite some time already and now that they've talked about the wedding, everyone in Hope Valley will help them prepare for the celebration.

Meanwhile, Elizabeth's (Erin Krakow) complicated love life will continue to play out in When Calls the Heart season 8 episode 9. She and Lucas (Chris McNally) are getting closer as days go by, but the doors aren't closing in for Nathan (Kevin McGarry) despite the huge revelation in the previous episode.

In episode 8, Nathan told Elizabeth that he "kind of" played a part in the death of her husband, Jack (Daniel Lissing), years ago. This is something that she may not be able to accept anytime soon and it could further complicate the love triangle between the three.

After the revelation, Elizabeth goes to Lucas and he comforted her. The two shared a sweet moment in his office and even hold hands. This is a bold move for Krakow's character, especially since she's been careful with her decision when it comes to her romantic life.

When Calls the Heart season 8 episode 9 airs on Sunday, April 18, on Hallmark Channel.
