Back to the Frontier

As they settle into their homesteads, the Hanna-Riggs, the Lopers and the Halls face the harsh realities of life without modern conveniences.

After the families attempt to cook their first hot meal, the Lopers bring the community together to help with needed repairs on their home.

After auction tensions between Lopers and Halls escalate, the Hall sisters organize an ice cream social to bring frontier families together.

As the families struggle with the frontier's gender roles, the Lopers and Hanna-Riggs learn what 1880's life would have been like for their families.

As fresh faces arrive at the Hanna-Riggs homestead, the Halls attempt to make up for their huge overspend at the auction.

After weeks of tension, the Halls and Lopers attempt to clear the air, while Mia has a rough first day as the homestead community's new teacher.

With temperatures dropping, the families must focus on fully stocking their winter pantries and harvesting an entire acre of wheat by hand.

Time is running out as the families rush to complete all their homestead goals -- but will they vouch for their neighbors to secure their land?
