The last scene of the Season 11 finale of When Calls the Heart has caused a frenzy among fans, with numerous theories for Season 12 emerging.
Fans have been in a state of anticipation since the end of Season 11 of When Calls the Heart, as the unexpected final scene has left them wondering about what could potentially occur in the future.
The highly addictive TV series has been centering on Elizabeth and Nathan’s romance following her breakup with Lucas in Season 10. Everything seemed to be going smoothly until the season finale when Andrew Hargraves unexpectedly appeared as the couple made their first public appearance together.
Nathan takes them to his office, under the belief that his superior wants to speak with him. However, he is completely caught off guard when Hargraves reveals, “Mrs. Thornton, it’s regarding your deceased husband.”Fans of When Calls the Heart have mostly dismissed the possibility of Jack coming back to life, but they have speculated about what the announcement might be.
According to one fan’s input on Reddit, next season will likely focus on E and N (and possibly Bill) as they search for the truth behind the Ft Clay incident, which resulted in Jack’s death. Specifically, they will likely uncover Hargraves as the culprit responsible for the entire disaster.

“Nathan will finally be absolved of his guilt, Elizabeth will learn the truth, and they will start their marriage with a clean slate.”
“A second person agreed that Jack had been targeted, while a third speculated that it was due to something insignificant such as the depletion of his pension.”
Nathan, who is now stationed in Fort Clay, is in the same location where Jack was last seen in Season 5 before being killed by a landslide. The circumstances surrounding the death of Elizabeth’s ex-husband have always been shrouded in mystery, and even more so now that she has grown closer to Nathan.
Despite being portrayed as a minor and recurring event, fans remain convinced that further details surrounding Jack’s death will eventually be revealed. The only glimpse we caught of him in Hope Valley was during his posthumous memorial, evoking strong emotions.
“Another fan theory suggests that Jack’s death may not have been accidental, as new information has come to light. The fan questions how this information could have been discovered six years later, and wonders if Jeanette may have revealed something during her custody following the shooting of Lucas that led to this theory.”
Hargraves is attempting to falsely accuse Jack of being involved in Mountie corruption in order to protect himself. N&E will have to put in effort to prove Jack’s innocence. Additionally, an individual whom Jack had previously arrested has been released from prison or has escaped and is making threats against Elizabeth and little Jack.
“In Episode 1, something seemingly insignificant may arise and be quickly resolved, such as Jack receiving a posthumous medal. However, this could potentially lead to a larger problem for Nathan with the return of Hargraves.”
Although When Calls the Heart fans have not received any definitive answers, actor Kevin McGarry, who plays Nathan, did provide some cryptic clues in an interview with TV Guide.
“As he stated, this sets the stage for the early conflicts in Season 12. After finally reaching the honeymoon phase, the couple’s relationship will continue to grow despite a significant obstacle that arises in the final moments of Season 11. It remains to be seen how Elizabeth will handle the situation and where she will stand in the end.”
