Blair Stanley (Robert Collins) has just come back from his trip and his little girl Sara (Sarah Polley) is so happy to see him. Suddenly, Mr. Stanley receives the bad news that he is under house arrest for a financial matter. he must protect Sara at all costs during this ordeal. He sends Sara to her mother's side of the family on Prince Edward Island to Avonlea. On the train with Nanny Louisa (Frances Hyland) she meets a boy, Andrew King (Joel Blake). When Alec King (Cedric Smith) arrives at the Bright River train depot to pick them up, he notices that Andrew and Sara are indeed cousins.
At the King home, they meet their new island relatives, Alec's wife Janet (Lally Cadeau) and their two children, Felicity (Gema Zamprogna) and Felix (Zachary Bennett). The King children do not take to kindly to Sara and Andrew. The Kings just simply so not have room for Sara and her well-to-do nanny. So they recommend that they stay with Hetty (Jackie Burrough) and Olivia (Mag Ruffman) on their farm at Rose Cottage. Sara's time at Rose Cottage is an emotional one due to the separation from her dad and her nanny. However, her mother is buried there and her mother's piano is there and she has her mother's side of the family to be blessed by.
