12x02 - Hearts Run Free

Post by bunniefuu »

AMY: Previously on "Heartland:"

TY: It's injured, look at all that blood.

Her leg's gone through the bridge.

I'm dating again.

Oh... wow.

Dean Woodley. Not impressed.

He wants to gift Bandit to his daughter for her birthday.

I'm gonna propose to Casey.

I'm-I'm gonna ask her to marry me.

Dad!

Wow, I've never seen Bandit take any interest in another horse before.

I want us to be partners!
I want us to work together.

Like we dreamed about.

- You sold Big River?
- Today.

(HOOVES THUD)

(MARE SNORTS)

(FOAL WHINNIES)

(HOOVES THUD)

(HOOVES CLOMP)

AMY: Good boy, Bandit.

(BANDIT NICKERS)

DEAN: He's looking good, Amy!

He's totally fine being ridden now.

I had Ty ride him, Georgie took him on a trail.

Your daughter is gonna love him.

What a change!

And look at him with other horses.

Yeah, he's doing really great.

Aren't you, Bandit?

You wanna go see your friends?

Unbelievable, you did it!
I mean, that is fantastic.

Well, it wasn't just me.

Ty and I are working with this wild mare and her foal that we rescued, and Bandit totally bonded with the mare.

She was a big help in his recovery.

So, you two are working together now?

- We are.
- Well, that's interesting.

A vet and a horse whisperer joining forces.

That's a one-stop shop. (LAUGHS)

That's good to know.

(DOOR LATCH CLICKS)

Here's my card.

I'm gonna keep in touch.

I have a whole stable full of my own horses, I board polo ponies, I have a ton of contacts, I can make sure they all know about your enterprise.

- All right.
- Do you have a card?

Um, not yet.

- We're um...
- No worries.

I've got your contact info.

- Okay.
- All the best.

- Thanks, Dean.
- Thank you.

Thank you, you did it!

(TY AND AMY CHUCKLE)

(TRUCK ENGINE TURNS OVER)

- AMY AND TY: We need a card.
- GEORGIE: Guys!

They're not there! The mare and foal.

- I can't find them anywhere.
- Oh no, not again.

(GATE CLANGS)

(HORSES SNORT)

(HOOVES THUD)

Thanks, Georgie.

(SIGHS)

(HOOVES THUD)

(HORSES SNORT)

(BIRDS CHIRP)

(HORSES PANT)

TY: This is the third time they've gotten out.

(SPARTAN BLOWS NOISILY)

That mare is like Houdini.

A total escape artist.

(HORSES SNORT)

- (DISTANT SHRILL WHINNY)
- Ty!

(FOAL WHINNIES AGITATEDLY)

(WEAK WHINNY, SNORTS)

♪ And at the break of day

♪ You sank into your dream

♪ You dreamer

♪ Oh oh oh oh

♪ You dreamer

♪ You dreamer

- (GASPS)
- Oh...

Whoa, whoa.

- Easy.
- Easy, girl.

It doesn't matter what size field I put them in, they're gonna try to escape.

(MARE SNORTS) You're okay.

Oh! Oh! Whoa, whoa. (MARE WHINNIES)

Well, they're wild horses.
That's what they do.

(SIGHS HEAVILY)

(MARE SNORTS, TY GRUNTS WITH EFFORT)

She could've seriously injured herself, Amy.

I know.

(FOAL NICKERS)

- (MARE WHINNIES)
- Whoa, whoa.

They can't stay at Heartland.

Whoa...

(MARE AND FOAL GRUNT SOFTLY)

You can get up.

(MARE SNORTS)

(WHINNIES)

(SNORTS)

(SNORTING)

(BIRDS CHIRP)

So when did you hear from her?

A couple of days ago, or so.

But we are talking, and she really does want me to come as soon as possible.

So Dear Aunt Evelyn wants you to trek halfway across the world to Istanbul to be her traveling buddy?

(CHUCKLES)

(SIGHS) Well, what about our own getaway?

We were heading up to Emerald Lake for a few days.

Yes, I know, and you know how excited I was about that.

And that's why I haven't talked to you about this before now.

But... I thought it was gonna blow over, I guess she's having some troubles with her new boyfriend.

Shocking.

And she's alone, and needs me, and I feel badly!

Isn't she always bragging about how she likes to travel alone?

Lis, you know I made peace with your aunt, but you don't need to be at her beck and call.

I mean, she's a grown woman.

Okay, so, so...

I'll say no?

(RADIO PLAYS ROCK SONG)

(CELL PHONE RINGS)

Ugh, Lou. Stop calling!

(CELL PHONE RINGS)

(TRUCK RUMBLES)

(TIRES CRUNCH ON GRAVEL)

Dad! Where are you?

How did it go with Casey?

Just call me back and let me know what happened, because you're making me crazy!

And by the way, did you know about Mitch?

That he's seeing someone?!

Hey, where's Amy?

I thought you guys had a coaching session.

The mare and foal escaped. Again.

She and Ty are out looking for them.

Tell me I'm not a horrible person.

You're not a horrible person.

Why do I need to say that?

There's this coach I heard about, Kim Price, and she's...

amazing, like, so amazing.

And she has an opening right now, but... if I don't go for it right away, then I'll miss out.

You're thinking about switching coaches?

See? I told you, I'm a horrible person.

I've never imagined switching, but I just think that Amy feels guilty about not having enough time for me, and I don't wanna be a burden.

(SIGHS) This coach never has openings, so I'm thinking maybe it's a sign.

I think I should at least give it a shot.

And she probably won't even accept me, She only coaches top riders.

You are a top rider, Georgie.

(HOOVES THUD)

Hey, I'm so sorry I took so long.

Did you find them?

Yeah, but Ty's still with the mare.

She got into some barbed wire.

If it's okay, I'm just gonna run and check if Grandpa's good with Lyndy.

And I'll be right back as soon as I can, I promise.

(SIGHS HEAVILY)

AMY: I don't know what to do, Grandpa.

I mean, they're wild, they're meant to be free,

I don't wanna tame them.

Well, it sounds to me like they need to be adopted by another herd.

That would be ideal.

What about those wildies up at Pike River?

I'm pretty sure Will still looks in on them.

That's the perfect home for them, Grandpa.

Well, I'll give him a call.

And see what he has to say about the situation.

Thanks.

I've been meaning to get a hold of my old friend anyway.

If you're serious about this coaching decision, then you need to tell Amy sooner than later.

I mean, who knows, maybe she's gonna be relieved.

Just make sure that you're clear that it's not because she's a bad coach.

No, it's not about that.

Okay, well, I'll let you guys get to it.

What's up?

(SIGHS)

Look Georgie, I know that I haven't been able to give you the training time that you need, and for that, I'm sorry.

No! It's not that! Not at all!

You've been amazing, you haven't done anything wrong.

I'm gonna choose to believe that.

And Georgie, I've seen this Kim Price.

She is as amazing as everyone says.

So maybe this is the next logical step for you to take.

Because in the end, I just want what's best for you.

You're what's best.

You are, I mean that.

And if this trainer doesn't take me...

She's gonna take you, she will.

(SIGHS)

(SIGHS HEAVILY)

(BIRDS CHIRP)

AMY: So we may have a solution for the mare and her foal.

- Oh yeah?
- Yeah, Grandpa talked to Will.

And he thinks that it's a good idea to try and mix them in with his wild herd.

Oh. Are you sure that's a good idea, though?

I mean, herds have a pretty crazy hierarchy.

I'm sure they got kicked out of the last one.

Yeah, it can work.

My mom actually wrote a lot about it in her journals.

I was thinking we could give it a try.

Yeah, I'd be down with that.

When does he want us to drive out?

Whenever works for us.
He said he'd be happy to help.

Okay, well, I'm thinking sooner rather than later, before that mare attempts another prison break.

Yeah...

Hey, Amy.

You okay?

Georgie fired me as her coach.

(LAUGHS) She fired you?

Well, I haven't had the time to spend with her.

And she's absolutely right to find someone else, but it still kinda hurts.

Hey.

Let's get Lou to babysit Lyndy for a few days, And you and I will go to Pike River.

We'll do this thing together.

What do you say?

Maybe we could stay in our cabin.

You remember that? I do remember that.

That was the wedding that never happened.

Yes, and thank goodness we didn't elope.

Can you imagine Lou?

(LAUGHS)

(SIGHS HEAVILY)

(BAG AND BOX CLATTER)

JACK: Where did you disappear to?

I've been trying to get in touch with you for a few days, and what are you doing with all that stuff?!

I'm moving in.

Moving in where?

Here.

To Heartland.

(SCREEN DOOR BANGS) Hey, Lisa!

- Hey.
- Wow, what is going on here?


- Ask him.
- I sold Big River.

I told you, that's what's going on.

Selling that ranch was your decision, not mine, so you can't just...

- we need to talk about this.
- Oh, we'll talk about it.

But could we eat first, please?

Thank you, everybody, come on.

- Dad!
- I got your voice-mail.

I want to know what's going on with you!

- What?!
- What happened with Casey?

I can't say anything in front of the others!

Oh, I'm surprised you haven't spilled the beans

- to everybody already.
- Dad,

I said I wouldn't say anything, and I haven't, but it just about k*lled me.

Okay, now tell me what happened! Dad!

Never mind that.

Have you made a decision about Maggie's, and Nicole yet?

No, and don't say anything.

I haven't told anyone about that, either.

So many secrets, Lou.

Your head must be ready to explode.

(SCOFFS)

AMY: Okay, but what I don't understand is, why did you have to move out of Big River so fast?

There's a lot of things I don't understand.

My buyer wanted a quick close and I was fine with that.

Yeah well, you know what?
I'm not fine with it.

What makes you think you can just move in here?!

Relax Jack, it's temporary.

(CELL PHONE CHIMES) Oh, sh**t. Sorry.

That's rude, I have to actually take this, excuse me.

TY: Hm.
We should probably get going too, I'd love to stay for some cherry pie,

- but we gotta get goin'.
- Yeah.

- Where you going?
- Pike River.

We're leaving first thing in the morning.

Well, given the new living circumstances,

I'll move into the loft so I can take care of Lyndy.

- Okay.
- Great, I'll take your room.

'Cause the bed in Amy's old room is way too small, so...that's settled.

I think I'll just hit the sack.

(COYOTES HOWL)

JACK: Do you believe that guy?!

I still can't believe it!

Hey? Tim, moving in here like that, Who does he think he is?

So that call during dinner was from Evelyn, and uh, it turns out that she is very sick.

And that's why she wants me to come.

- She's sick?
- Yes.

She's manipulating you.

She's not manipulating me Jack, she's ill!

No, she says she's ill.

Evelyn is Evelyn.

She's just goin' back to her old ways.

You can't change a leopard's spots.

Well, I'm going to take her at her word.

Okay?

It's because Tim's moving in.

That's why you suddenly wanna go!

Hey, I don't blame you.

I get it, I'll just tell him he can't move in, and that'll be the end of it.

Actually, Tim has nothing to do with this.

I-that whole thing, I... it does not factor in to my decision at all.

(KEYS TAP)

So you already made the decision, then?

Yes, I think I should go!

So I-no I, yes, I have, I've made my decision.

Fine, go.

And I'm going too.

To Istanbul? Don't be silly!

You don't wanna go to Istanbul!

You got that right, I'm going to Pike River with Amy and Ty.

And I'm telling him he better have alternate plans by the time I get back.

(TIGHT INHALE)

(BELL DINGS)

(CLOTHES RUSTLING IN THE WIND)

You be a good girl for Mom, okay?

You're sure you're gonna be all right with her?

Of course, we're gonna have so much fun!

- Aren't we?
- Mommy.

Yeah, you guys have fun too, okay?

- I hope it all goes well.
- Okay.

I'm coming with you.

Why?

Well, you'll need a hand with the horses, and...

Oh Jack, we're fine, really.

No, no, it's settled.

- (LYNDY COOS)
- Okay.

(LAUGHS WRYLY)

- (TOASTER POPS)
- Oh! That's me.

- Whoop! Ah! Ow! Ow! Ow!
- So they're off?

LOU: Yes, I'm not sure they were totally thrilled about Grandpa going along, but Amy and Ty are off.

Oh hey, so there's a couple of voice messages on the landline for you two, Nicole called again.

And Kim Price, for you.

- Kim Price? Really?
- Yeah. Yeah.

Said she can meet you today for lunch.

There you go, she's interested.

- Well, you have to go with me!
- Uh...

I'll babysit, that's fine.

TIM: I can babysit. I live here now.

I wanna be useful, I'll babysit.

I need to call Kim back!

Hm. You gonna call Nicole?

- No.
- Why?

It's complicated, okay?

Um, Auntie Lou is gonna be right back, you go with Grandpa.

Does that complication have something to do with Mitch?

Okay, I have to ask.

Did you know that he was seeing someone?

Seeing someone?

He is?

(AGGRAVATED EXHALE)

(DEEP INHALE)

(MESSAGE CHIMES)

(DISHES CLINK, MUSIC PLAYS)

Are you okay?

This is a terrible idea.
Kim Price is in crazy demand.

I'm sure I'm not good enough.

Kim Price would be lucky to have you as a client.

Okay, just present your best self.

If you don't believe in you, nobody else will.

(DOOR BANGS)

Hi, I'm Lou, Georgie's Mom.

Hi, so nice to meet you.

Georgie, hi, so nice to finally see you in person.

- Please, sit.
- Thanks.

Great you could meet us.

Oh, how I've looked forward to it.

I've been following Georgie's career, and I must say, I'm very impressed.

I'd be more than happy to coach you.

And it just so happens, I have a spot open.

Amazing.

But there is one condition.

Okay.

I'll only coach you if you ride a horse of my choosing.

Um, no. I can't do that.

Georgie, we should consider...

I've been down that road before.

Phoenix and I are a team.

I can't compete on any other horse.

Now, hold on, just let me explain.

Georgie, I see huge potential in you, but I believe, having watched playbacks of many of your show performances, that Phoenix is holding you back.

I'm absolutely certain that when you start competing at a higher level, you'll find your competition is much faster.

I'm sorry. Look, I know my horse.

I know he's fast enough.

And I-I can prove it if I have to.

Okay. How?

Well, we could... set up a course at Heartland.

You could ride it, and name the time I have to beat.

And if we go clear, and I beat or meet your time, will you train Phoenix and I?

(LAUGHS) Okay.

It's a deal.

O-okay!

- Good luck.
- Thank you.

- Nice to meet you, thanks.
- I'll be in touch.

GEORGIE:
That was like an out-of-body experience!

Did I really just say that to Kim Price?

Why? Why did I do that?!

What if I can't make the course fast enough?

I'm gonna make a complete fool of myself!

Honey. Georgie.

Just stop panicking, and start practicing.

I'll wait in the car.

Oh hey, Georgie.

- Hi!
- What's goin' on?

I've been texting you, you haven't responded.

I just did.

(SIGHS)

Okay well, up until now you haven't responded.

What's up?

I just, I wanna to make sure you're okay after what we talked about the other day.

What we talked a...

yeah, that?

Of course, I'm totally fine.

Okay, good.

There was one thing I was just like, curious about.

You said you were... dating again, is that serious, or is it just casual?

Well, I mean, we're not putting labels on things.

We're just gonna see how this goes.

See how it goes? That's good.

That's smart.

Yeah, well, I mean, what about you?

Didn't-you said something about taking a step back from New York?

No, I'm just, I'm not putting labels on that, either.

I'm just gonna see how it goes.

- So, then we're good?
- Oh yeah, we're good.

We're good, yeah.
If you're happy, I'm happy.

Are you? Happy?

(SIGHS) Yeah, Lou, I'm happy.

That is so good to hear. That's great.

Anyway, Georgie's waiting, I'll see you later.

(BIRDS CHIRP)

(SINGING, HUMMING SOFTLY)

(HORN HONKS)

Come on right down the road.

(TRUCK RUMBLES)

(TRUCK RUMBLES)

(GATE CLUNKS)

(LAUGHS)

How you doing, Ty?

- Hey!
- Long time!

What can I say? Here, hug me. (CHUCKLES)

No one told me the old man was gonna get drug up here.

Who you callin' old?

(WILL CHUCKLES)

(HORSES WHINNY)

JACK: Will, you look great.

WILL: Well, of course I do, what do you expect?

(HOOVES THUD)

JACK: With you, I never know what to expect.

(HORSES SNORT, WHINNY)
(JACK AND WILL CHUCKLE)

JACK: Well, look at that.

(HOOVES THUD)

Oh Will, they're so beautiful.

(HORSES WHINNY)

Thanks for giving us this chance.

Oh, it's nothing to do with me, I'm just the guy with the food to them.

- (JACK CHUCKLES)
- No, it's gonna be the herd that's gonna decide the tale in here.

Well, let's get a look at your wildies.

Okay.

What if we put the mare and foal on this side of the fence, So that they can see the herd, and the herd can see them.

Oh, and they're still protected, that makes sense.

- Okay, you're the boss.
- Okay.

- All right.
- That's what I say.

Here we go, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Look out!

(MARE AND FOAL SNORT, WHINNY)

(HORSES SNORT, SNUFFLE)

(HORSE WHINNIES)

(STALLION SNORTS, WHINNIES)

WILL: There he is.

I knew that would happen.

(STALLION WHINNIES)

(AGITATED WHINNY)

You remember this black stallion, I'm sure.

AMY: Yes, I sure do.

Okay, well, he still rules the roost.

And he's got even more set in his ways over the years.

He's the one you'll have to win over.

But you've done it before.

Okay, well, we'll take things slow.

We'll introduce the mare and foal to the herd horses, just a few at a time.

I'll worry about the stallion later.

Sounds like a plan.

Jack, Will? Can you help us push a few of them forward?

- Absolutely.
- Sounds good.

(HORSE SNORTS)

(TACK JINGLES)

(HOOVES THUD)

(TACK JINGLES)

(HORSE SNORTS)

(KIM EXHALES)

- seconds.
- I can match that.

You're gonna have to show me what you've got by tomorrow.

I can't keep the spot open for very long.

I have another candidate vying for it.

- I hope you understand?
- Of course, I can do that.

(WORRIED EXHALE)

AMY: Once these two get settled,

- then we'll introduce some more.
- TY: Okay.

- (CLUCKS TONGUE) Come on.
- (HORSES WHINNY)

(HORSES NICKER SOFTLY)

(LOUD WHINNY)

Well, they seem pretty comfortable with these two.

JACK: Uh-oh, watch it!

(STALLION GRUNTS) Whoa, easy, easy.

(SNORTING, HOOF THUDS)

AMY: We've gotta get that stallion separated from the others.

(AGITATED WHINNYING)

Will, do you have a paddock or something we could put him in?

Well, we can put him up in there, but I don't think he's going to like it very much.

AMY: Okay, let's do it.

(TACK JINGLES)

LOU: Beautiful!

(HOOVES THUD)

(PHOENIX GRUNTS)

(GEORGIE SIGHS)

You're only five seconds behind Kim's time.

That was good, let's do it again.

(STALLION GRUNTS)

There you go.

(WHINNIES, HOOVES THUD)

AMY: Get the gate, Ty! Ty: Yeah!

Yah!

(AGITATED WHINNIES)

(AGITATED SNORTING)

LOU: Keep your pace up, honey.

(TACK JINGLES)

Atta girl! Yep.

(PHOENIX PANTS)

(HOOVES THUD)

Nice, okay.

You're three seconds over, you're gettin' there.

(SIGHS)

(HORSE WHINNIES)

(HOOVES CLOMP)

All right, that's the last two.

Ty: Okay.

Let's try this again.

(GATE CREAKS)

(STALLION WHINNIES)

(AGITATED WHINNIES)

(LOW SNORTS)

Whoa...

This isn't going to work.

Let's get him back in.

Whoa.

(STALLION SQUEALS)

Shh! Shh! Shh! Shh! Shh!

(WHISTLES) Hup!

(GATE CREAKS)

(STALLION WHINNIES)


(HOOVES THUD)

Come on, boy, don't you remember me?

(SNORTS)

(GRUNTS)

(SIGHS)

Come on.

LOU: Okay, let's keep the pace up.

- Oh!
- Beautiful!

Georgie, cut on the inside on this one!

There you go, nice!

(HOOVES THUD)

Oh... here, too!

Cut along the inside!

(HOOVES THUD)

- How was that?
- That was amazing.

But you're still about two seconds too slow.

(SIGHS) Are you kidding me?!

How am I ever gonna get this? Kim comes tomorrow!

Come on, you're gonna get there, we can do this.

(SIGHS)

(STRUMS A TUNE ON THE GUITAR)

Hey.

Sounding good.

(CHUCKLES) Here you go. Thanks.

- Ah...
- Cheers.

- Is this lemonade?
- Yeah, I'm off the booze, eh?

Apparently, it made me cranky.

Well, you know, I have noticed that my normally morose and cynical friend has been unusually upbeat.

That's 'cause it's your fault.

It's my fault? How's that my fault?

You remember the last time we saw each other?

Of course, you inducted me into the Cowboy Hall of Fame.

I'll never forget that.

And then, the next day, when I was leaving, you handed me a piece of advice.

You remember what you said?

You said I should make amends with my... with my ex.

Well sir, I did just that.

No kidding.

I mean, it didn't happen overnight, oh my God.

I mean, my lady and I have smoothed things over.

We have managed to re-establish a friendship.

A really rock-solid friendship.

Well, that is terrific, Will.

And it obviously agrees with you.

Well, thanks, she has to kinda clean me up a little bit, sure, yeah. Yeah, yeah.

And how's uh, your lovely wife, Lisa?

What's goin' on?

Well, Lisa and I, we're good.

- That's excellent.
- Yeah.

Yeah, we're good.

We've hit a few rough spots here and there.

Some growing pains, you know.

I think she's going away soon, too,

Traveling with her Aunt Evelyn.

Oh, it sounds to me like this aunt isn't exactly your favourite person.

Ah, she's all right.

But I just think that, you know, Lisa gets manipulated by her.

And I just wish that she could say no to her, and...

You're not gonna go turning into some kind of morose househusband, or something here, are you?

'Cause trust me on this, it's not attractive.

I can promise you that.

You're a cowboy, Jack.

You always have been, you're always gonna be.

And Lisa loves you for that.

So don't go changing into someone else.

Especially when that someone else sounds an awful lot like the idiot I used to be.

Yeah, you wish.

No, I'm serious.

Now, quit feeling sorry for yourself.

If Lisa here, if she wants to go on this trip, what you gotta do is just let her.

And just relax. Have you still got that fishing cabin?

Yeah, yeah, I do.

Well, that's what you do, then.

You take yourself up there.

As a matter of fact, we both should go up there.

I mean, we kinda owe ourselves one of our famous fishing expeditions.

Maybe make some music together like we used to, you wanna do it?

Come on, how many songs did we write in that cabin?

Oh my God.

Some of them were God-awful too, weren't they?

(CHUCKLES) That is true.

(LAUGHS)

I agree with you, Will.

A fishing trip is due, let's set a date.

That's right, I got a social calendar, I'm gonna fit you in.

(BOTH LAUGH)

Yeah.

AMY: What if I can't get the stallion to accept the mare and her baby?

I don't even wanna think about that,I can't just turn them out in the wild, they'd be such easy prey.

You'll do it.

I've seen you with that stallion before.

Was that four years ago, during the cull?

Yeah.

You saved him and his herd.

I think he'll remember you.

I remember something about that time, too.

You proposed.

Again.

- Yes, I did.
- (LAUGHS)

And now we're married.

We have a beautiful baby girl.

We're starting our own business together.

I'd say we're doing pretty good.

Yeah. Yeah, we are.

Yeah.

You know what?

This is all gonna work.

Because you're the miracle girl.

(BOTH LAUGH)

(HORSES WHINNY)

(AGITATED HUFFS, WHINNIES)

(HOOVES STOMP)

- Are you okay with this?
- Mhmm.

- All right.
- AMY: Okay, let him out.

(STALLION WHINNIES)

(HOOVES THUNDER)

(LOUD WHINNIES)

(HOOVES THUD)

- JACK: Amy!
- Whoa!

(AGITATED WHINNIES)

I need you to do something for me.

To help me.

- You see them?

They don't have a home.

(STALLION BLOWS SOFTLY)

And you can give them one, okay?

(STALLION SNORTS)

Please?

(STALLION NICKERS) There you go.

Go on now.

You be nice to them.

(HOOVES CLOMP)

(JACK SIGHS)

We did it.

(JACK CHUCKLES)

Thanks for all your help, Will.

My pleasure, always.

And thank you for taking on two more mouths to feed.

Well, like I always say, to them, I'm just the guy with the food.

(ALL LAUGH) See ya.

- You take care.
- I will.

- Okay.
- Thank you.

- See ya.
- See ya later.

- Drive careful.
- Yep!

Oh, I guess it's my turn to say thank you for the advice.

That's right, the shoe is on the other foot for a change, it's kinda nice, isn't it?

I'll see you at the fishing cabin.

Yep, it's on my social calendar.

I'm definitely gonna see you there.

Oh, hang on a second. Oh, I totally... here it is, I come up...
I've been working on something.

Okay, it's a song.

It's my ex's birthday coming up, and I'm okay, I think the lyrics are pretty good, but I'm stuck a on the hook.

I wonder if you could just take a look at it, and make it good?

- I mean, you're the music guy.
- Oh, no, I'm not.

You definitely are. Please help me.

You know, I think this new "romantic Will" has lost his mind, but sure, I'll have a look at it.

- Thank you, buddy.
- It's good to see you.

It's always good to see you.

(BOTH LAUGH)

See ya, Jack.

(TRUCKS RUMBLE)

(TRUCK SHUTS OFF, KEYS JINGLE)

Hey, you know, now's not the best time,

Georgie has this important thing, so...

Just stop, all right? We need to talk.

- KIM: Head up. Head up.
- Okay.

I don't know how to act around you right now, you just, you're being weird.

I am not being weird, and you're the one walking around me like you're on eggshells.

I'm fine. I was a little taken aback, you know, this whole dating thing just kinda caught me off guard a little bit, but I'm... I'm fine.

- You're really okay?
- Yeah.

Because if you can't handle being friends, I-I don't know how this...

Can't handle being your friend?!

Don't be ridiculous, of course I can handle it.

I mean, to tell you the truth,

I'm dating too, okay?

If you wanna know, I'm dating a lot, actually.

So, the truth is, we were never really cut out as boyfriends and girlfriends go, anyway.

I mean, look how many times we tried to make that work.

That-that is what's ridiculous, so.

I think we dodged a b*llet there.

And we are just way better off being friends, so that's what we should be, friends.

Great, well, I guess we're just friends!

Great.

So what is so important with Georgie, I mean...

Kim Price.

She is very big in the show jumping world, and Georgie has a huge opportunity to be coached by her,

so she has this audition thing.

And we're total nervous wrecks, if you wanna know.

Sounds like she could use another fan in her corner.

Yeah, I bet she could.

KIM: Okay, Georgie, are you ready?

I'm gonna time this!

We've got this!

Let's go!

Come on!

Come on, honey.

(TACK JINGLES)

(PHOENIX SNORTS)

(PHOENIX PANTS)

Atta girl!

(PHOENIX SNORTS)

(PHOENIX PANTS)

Good! Excellent!

I did it? Really?

Okay, well, you may have been a second over my time, but I'm sure not going to be picky about that.

I would be proud to coach the two of you.

Good boy, Phoenix!

(LAUGHS) Thank you!

(LOU AND MITCH CHEER)

She did it! Oh!

(CLAPS) Woo! Good job, honey!

(LAUGHS) Good boy!

(BIRDS CHIRP)

AMY: It was a little touch and go there for a while, but finally the mare and foal were accepted into the herd.

Thanks to Grandpa and Will, and my wonderful husband.

I knew that you guys would be successful.

And I'm-and I'm really proud of the way the two of you are putting your business together.

- Well, thanks, Lisa.
- And in keeping with that, I would like to be one of your first full-time clients.

What?

I've decided to turn all Fairfield vet duties over to the new partnership.

- That's amazing!
- Thank you!

My pleasure.

Georgie had a big triumph today too.

She totally won Kim over.

Ty: Hmm, that's great!

I thought what you did for Amy and Ty tonight was very thoughtful.

Oh, well yes, of course.

I'd rather keep it in the family.

Because family is very important to me.

I've been a bit of an ass, and I'm sorry.

I know what a loyal person you can be, especially when it comes to family.

And I want you to know, I do understand why you need to be with Evelyn, and I support you.

Okay.

Good, 'cause I, I booked my ticket already.

(LAUGHS) Of course you did.

I wouldn't expect anything less from my strong, independent wife, who I'm going to miss very much.

Well, haven't you come a long way this week, cowboy.

(CRICKETS CHIRP)

(HORSES SNORT)

- Hey.
- Hey.

Look, I'm really sorry about Kim.

Maybe it was a really dumb thing to do.

No, don't think like that.

Honestly, Georgie, you're so advanced now, maybe you do need someone like Kim to take you to the next level.

- Are you sure?
- I'm sure.

But don't think that I'm not gonna keep watching you like a hawk.
I'll never stop being there for you.

(SIGHS) Are you sure I can't just drive you to the airport?

No honey, I just, I prefer to drive myself, and park the car there, and I hate...

I hate airport goodbyes.

(SIGHS) I'm gonna miss you.

I'm sorry to leave. I'll be fine.

Give my best to Aunt Evelyn.

- I mean that!
- I will, I will.

But most important, you take care of yourself.

Because I won't be there to help you fend off all the boys.

Oh, the boys. Mhmm. Okay.

I gotta go.

(CLEARS HER THROAT)

(EXHALES)

(SIGHS)

I love you.

I love you more.

Don't have any fun without me.

(LAUGHS)

TIM: What's that?

It's nothing, it's a song that Will wrote,

I'm just helpin' him out, is all.

Wow, a love song?
Kinda bad timing for that.

With Lisa gettin' out of dodge, right?

Are you still here?

I was kinda hoping you'd be gone by now.

Relax, Jack.

It's temporary.

- Hey.
- Hey.

I-I honestly did not know about Mitch.

But I warned you.

Not to go down that road, I know.

I know.

Sometimes the head'll take that good advice, right?

But the heart...

Well, you kept your promise, so... I guess...

I guess I owe you the truth.

About what happened with Casey and me.

I drove down to that rodeo she was putting on, and it gave me a lot of time to think.

Maybe too much time.

You know, I pretty much decided that...
