In 2007, the Writers Guild of America, the Screenwriters Union, hit an impasse in their contract negotiations with the Studios. At the center of the dispute was jurisdiction over the internet. Unable to make progress, the WGA called a strike which brought Hollywood to a halt for 100 days.

Based on the book series by Janette Oke comes When Calls the Heart: A Telling Silence. Elizabeth and Jack help the Coal Valley residents cope with the fatal mining accident while learning to overcome their own differences. Elizabeth takes a special interest in one of her students affected by the mine disaster, Rosaleen, while Jack investigates a mysterious fire that burned down the town's church. Suspicion hangs over widow and rival spiritual leader Cat Montgomery, who may have turned to arson out of anger towards the Pacific Northwest Mining Company, which also owned the church. While Jack questions Cat about the fire, he is summoned to Elizabeth's aid when Rosaleen goes missing. Jack and Elizabeth must unite to find the troubled girl and uncover evidence of Cat's innocence.
