During Sunday’s episode of When Calls the Heart, viewers were on the edge of their seats as Nathan faced possible punishment as the subject of an inquiry surrounding the death of a Mountie that was killed during a prisoner transfer gone-wrong in the season 7 finale. Amid the heated inquiry, Allie makes an impromptu decision to interrupt the hearing to defend Nathan’s character. Her tearful plea was compassionate and moving -- and ultimately led to Nathan’s vindication and a heartfelt embrace between the uncle-niece pair. Only ET spoke with stars Jaeda Lily Miller about filming the emotional scene and what it means for Nathan and Allie’s bond moving forward.
