The new Minister at Waltons Mountain just moves into his new home, when he has to move out again, due to a skunk which has taken up residence under his floor. He moves into the Walton home. During his time here he becomes aware that Elizabeth has a crush on him. At first he thinks that it is Erin who likes him, but gradually he comes to realise that it is Elizabeth. He talks to her telling her that she is like a sister to him and that the gifts she left for him made him feel like he was being visited by a little elf. Needless to say, Elizabeth is mortified!
