Heartland (CA) s03e15 Episode Script
Second Chances
Previously on "Heartland": I'm gonna recommend you on our Heartland website.
We get a ton of hits and I'm sure it'll fill up your stable.
Why would you do that for me? 'Cause you care about horses; That says a lot about a person.
What's wrong with her? I think it's strangles, and you know what that means.
You're under quarantine.
You can't come.
Why not? I know it sounds stupid, but it's bad luck.
Look, the last time I brought a girl, I lost like every event.
Go, Caleb! Come on! Ungh! But the quarantine was lifted weeks ago.
And you do know that humans can't get strangles, right? Fine.
I understand.
But your first night's deposit is not refundable.
Okay, thanks.
Bye.
So, have you picked your bridesmaid or maid of honour yet? Are you kidding me? I'm too busy trying to piece back together this business.
Well, you should've nailed that by now.
So who are you thinking of asking? It says in this wedding plan thing, that your bridesmaid should be someone you've known for a really long time, someone who is loyal, responsible.
Someone who will help you through the inevitable ups and downs leading to your big day! Someone, in fact, that is like Well, Amy's gonna be my maid of honour, right? Uh wrong? What? Why not? Well, because you and I wouldn't be speaking to each other by the wedding day.
But you have to be, you're my sister! And I'll be your bridesmaid.
Just not maid of honour.
What?! I'm sorry, Lou.
Gotta go.
Ty and I are seeing Caleb at the hospital.
So Amy is a bridesmaid.
And it says here that you should have two bridesmaids and a maid of honour.
Well, I can make a suggestion Can you believe that? Turned down by my own sister! Now what do I do? You want me to be your maid of honour? You're the first person I thought of.
What about Amy? Ah, she's a little young to handle all the responsibilities.
Wow, uh I'm touched.
And I would love to be your maid of honour.
Fantastic.
Yeah.
That's great.
Well, it looks like Caleb's in a good space.
Yeah.
Amazing, considering what happened.
At least he'll be out soon.
Yeah.
Ty! Ty, look out! Hold on! And at the break of day you sank into your dream, you dreamer.
Oh, oh, oh You dreamer, you dreamer.
Hey.
Hey.
Good boy.
Good boy.
Ty, these horses aren't in great shape.
Yeah, this guys ribs are showing.
I think these are Mr.
Hanley's fields.
They must be his horses.
Huh, let's get them back.
'Kay.
So there's just a few things that you can help me with to get started If you don't mind? No.
Not at all.
Great.
Number one on the list is probably the engagement party, since you'll be hosting.
And, uh, it is so hard working around Peter's crazy schedule.
He's got this flight.
Unbelievable! Another cancellation at the dude ranch.
Business is bad? People will not believe me when I say that humans cannot get equine viruses like strangles.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I really need an idea to get business rolling again 'cause After I had Jerry Junior, I felt totally out of the picture, work-wise.
But then I met these other moms at Gymboree.
Gymboree? Yeah.
Turns out they all missed work as much as I did.
But they had terrific ideas about starting their own small home businesses, so I formed "WWAHH.
" W-W-A-H-H: Women Working At Home in Hudson.
Cute.
You should join us.
Oh, thank you, but I don't see how making quilts and seasonal door wreaths is really gonna help my business right now.
Lou These women, they're lawyers, graphic artists, accountants.
It's been great for networking.
My catering business has gone crazy as a result.
But, you know, if you're not interested.
No, I'm I'm interested.
I'm very interested.
So, I hear Caleb's due back any day now.
Yes.
Yes.
And he's insisting he's fine to live in that trailer of his.
I'm here to tell you he's not ready for that.
I told him he could stay at Briar Ridge For a little while anay.
But you know Caleb.
I mean, he's almost as stubborn as you are.
So, uh, how's Ashley holding up? Well, I gotta hand it to her, Jack.
I mean, she's been by his side practically 24/7, ever since the accident.
You know Caleb was pretty down at first, right? Well, understandable.
Yeah, but Ashley She is such a positive force for him, I can't tell you.
Who knew my daughter channelled an inner Florence Nightingale, huh? Don't you worry about Caleb.
Between the two of us, we'll make sure he's looked after.
Thank you, Jack.
I appreciate that.
- - - sa: Hello?! Lisa! I thought you weren't coming back till next week? Yeah, no, I came home early and, uh Came straight from the airport to surprise you, which it seems that I certainly did.
It's good to see you back safe and sound, Lisa.
Um I know Jack has missed you.
And, uh, I was just leaving.
So, I'll see you, Jack, and thanks for the coffee.
- Bye.
- Bye.
Oh, look at you.
You just made my day.
- Hi cowboy.
- Hi.
Mr.
Hanley? Mr.
Hanley?! You find him? Uh, no.
Well, he's not in the house.
And his truck's not here.
So I'm thinking he's in town.
I did a patch job on the gate.
But it needs to be fixed properly.
Okay.
And there's a cat that's dying to be fed.
All right.
All right, let's go.
Still no answer at Mr.
Hanley's.
Well, maybe he got stuck somewhere overnight.
Well, if he's not back by morning, we're gonna have to go check on his horses again.
So nice to see you have all the time in the world for Mr.
Hanley, practically a total stranger, yet you don't have a minute for your own sister.
What's she talking about? Oh, she didn't tell you? She flat out refused to be my maid of honour.
You'll thank me later, believe me.
Besides, I'm sure you've found someone.
I already did - Marnie - and she's thrilled.
Oh, well, that's great.
Not only is she gonna be my maid of honour she introduced me to WWAHH.
- WWAAH? - WwWWAHH? Women Working At Home in Hudson.
Don't laugh! It's clever.
That is awesome.
It's a pretty powerful networking group, okay? And you've probably already joined? Yes, and I'm hosting their first meeting.
Stop it.
It's a great way to get the word out the equestrian connection is up and running.
I'm sure.
Hello? Uh, yeah.
Just a sec, Marnie.
Hey, I was just gonna call you.
So, why didn't you wanna be her maid of honour? Well, you know what? I was actually thinking for the bridal shower more of a goddess theme.
That's why.
Yeah.
I never thought my trailer could look so good.
I'll get your wheelchair.
No, um Could you just grab my crutch.
Yeah.
- Here you go.
- Thanks.
You smell that? That's fresh air.
No more hospital smell for me.
You know, there's a- I'm I'm good.
It's all right.
There's fresh air at Briar Ridge, too.
You know, you can't stay here out here on your own.
Ash, been looking after myself since I was 16, and I'll be damned if I let a couple of broken bones change that.
Okay.
Well Gotta admit, cowboy, your positive attitude is really amazing.
I'm so proud of you.
It's good to have you back home.
Thanks.
Hey, boy, come here.
Look what I got for you.
I won't forget you either.
Here you go.
Excuse me, who are you? What are you doing here? I'm Amy Fleming.
I'm a friend of Mr.
Hanley's.
I'm just looking after his horses.
Oh.
Oh, I'm a friend too.
Is he around? No.
Uh Have you seen him? We were actually wondering- No, I haven't.
Not for a while.
Oh.
I guess I'll be going.
I checked the water pump in the field.
There's a reason the horses broke out yesterday.
They were looking for water.
Huh.
What about the troughs? They were empty.
I had to fill them by hand 'cause the pump isn't working.
I think the power's off.
That explains why there's no lights on in the barn.
Ty, it's supposed to drop below zero tonight, those troughs are just gonna freeze.
I know, I know.
And there's not a lot of hay left either.
Where is Mr.
Hanley? What's going on here? I found these earlier.
They're bills.
All unpaid.
I hate to say it, but it wouldn't surprise me if he's taken off.
That's what I think.
No.
There's no way.
It's happening a lot right now.
Running a ranch is a struggle at the best of times.
Throw a recession into the mix and A sad story, but I have heard cases where the owners have shot their horses before they left, rather than let 'em starve to death.
That's awful.
Hey! I wouldn't put it past Mr.
Hanley.
That guy is creepy.
Mr.
Hanley may be a little bit eccentric.
But he loves his horses, okay.
He wouldn't abandon them.
I hope you're right.
Hey, uh I think we should board his horses here until he shows up.
Absolutely not.
Please tell me that this has nothing to do with me not wanting to be your maid of honour.
No, this has to do with the fact that we can't take that kind of risk.
I mean, all we need is a bunch of horses we don't know anything about to bring a virus like strangles to us again.
She's right, Amy.
Absolutely.
You should just listen to Lou, Amy.
Okay.
Okay.
But until he shows up, we are gonna have to go and feed them everyday.
Coming.
Aren't you glad I backed you up on that, Lou? Yeah.
So, have you made a decision on your second bridesmaid? The clock is ticking.
- Hey there! - Hi! I was hoping that I could convince you to come on a little drive with me.
I have to look at a couple of horses, and I would love your opinion.
Sure thing.
Just let me get cleaned up a bit.
Hi! Hi, Lisa.
Val.
Well, Caleb's back.
Yeah, where's he staying? In his trailer.
Like I told you, he's crazy.
Yeah, tell you what.
Why don't you invite Ashley and Caleb over here for supper tonight, and you come, too, and we'll give him a proper welcome back.
That's really nice, Jack, thank you.
I'll run it by the kids, and I'll bring my shepherd's pie.
You loved it the last time.
Mmm! I'm off for a ride on Electra.
See ya later.
Have fun.
She seems to be spending a lot of time here.
Yeah, well, she's taken up show jumping again, if you can believe that.
Amy's training her.
Why is she not using the trainers at Briar Ridge? Doesn't want 'em to know, I guess.
Says she's embarrassed.
Okay, I will come with you to look at that horse on one condition.
What's that? That you promise me that you will stay for supper tonight.
Oh, I get an invitation too, do I? Well, this should keep 'em for awhile.
Knock, knock.
Hi.
Hi.
Uh, can we help you? Yeah, I'm Peace Officer Wharton from Alberta SPCA.
We received a call from a concerned citizen who thinks that the owner, Levon Hanley, may have abandoned his horses.
No, that's not true.
Oh, is he here, then? Well, no.
He's not, but- But he wouldn't do something like that.
He loves his horses too much.
There's gotta be a good reason why he's not here.
There are no good reasons to leave horses to starve.
Okay, but we're looking after the horses until he gets back, so there's no problem here.
Yeah.
Look, I think what you guys are doing here is great, and I'll pass that along to my superiors.
But Levon Hanley could be in big trouble.
Now here is a warning notification.
Now, there's a good chance he'll be charged for neglecting his animals and these horses may be seized.
Well, I spent one week at my place in France and then flew to Austria to check out some horses.
Then the very last week was in Rome.
Just Rome, fabulous.
No business, just visiting old friends.
Sounds wonderful.
Too bad you can never convince this one to go with you, huh? Yes.
It is.
Let's not go there.
Does anybody need sugar for their coffee? I do.
You kids, can you start cleaning up this table? Oh well, you know, for purely selfish reasons, I am really glad Jack is a homebody.
I can tell you, I don't know what I would have done without him these past few months.
He couldn't do enough for me.
Hmm.
Well, I think I think I'm gonna go.
Oh, you're leaving? Already? Yeah, I think I'm just wiped.
It must be jet lag, or something.
Good night, everybody.
Good night.
I wish you didn't have to go.
Well, it seems like you're in good hands.
Eh? Oh.
Well, get some sleep.
And, um, I'll see you tomorrow.
Yeah.
Table.
We're on it.
Hey, so what's the word? They think you're gonna make a full recovery? I go in for X-rays in a few days, so I'll know more about it then.
Ah, he's been so incredible.
The doctors are amazed how fast he's back on his feet.
Totally amazing! Ashley Stanton, everyone.
My personal cheering squad.
Oh, he'll be back competing in no time, good as new, like the whole thing never happened.
Right, sweetie? Yeah.
Well, we'd better hit the road.
It's time for you to go to sleep.
Hey Mom, you ready to go? Is it just me, or are Caleb and Ashley acting a little weird? You mean, aside from the fact that she's acting like a Stepford wife? Yeah.
Ty, I think we should turn these guys out today.
That's a good idea.
Mr.
Hanley! Thank God you're okay.
We were worried sick about you.
Where have you been? It doesn't matter where I've been.
Well, yeah.
It does.
We were looking after your horses for days.
Thanks for that.
There's no water and the power's off.
I know.
Look, I need you to understand.
I depend on my boarders.
They keep me Well, they keep the place going.
But They couldn't make their payments.
Okay, so What do you think? One by one, they pulled out.
You know what it's like when the money dries up but the bills keep coming in? So, these aren't your boarders? No.
They're from a farm a couple of roads over.
They were gonna put them down.
Couldn't stand that.
So I brought them here.
You rescued them? Yeah.
I rescued them all right.
And I left 'em.
I was scared.
So, you abandoned your animals.
I came back.
You're a little late.
Animal Welfare was already here.
They're deciding what to do with your horses.
And, you know, the only reason we found them was 'cause they'd escaped - they were looking for water.
They could have been killed on that road.
And I defended you.
Caleb? Caleb? Oh my God! Caleb! Caleb! Wake up! Oh my God Are you okay?! Caleb?! Oh.
Val, hello.
Hi, Lisa.
How are ya? Oh, that's a nice bridle.
Jack tells me you're show-jumping again.
Yeah.
I guess I'm trying to prove the adage wrong: You can teach an old dog a new trick.
Or At least a trick I haven't tried in a long, long time.
Mm-hm.
Val, I wanted to thank you for keeping Jack company while I'm away.
It's my pleasure.
I'm sure it is.
Oh, and you're working with Amy now, so you're gonna be at Heartland a lot more? I guess so.
Yeah.
I guess if we time it right, you could be at dinner every night.
What's that supposed to mean? Nothing.
Lisa I'm not gonna lie to you.
When I was sick, I made a bucket list, and item number four on that bucket list says "spend more time with people I care about.
" And Jack is one of those people? Well, as you should know better than anyone, Jack is a really great guy and I've known him for a very long time.
So, yeah, as long as he'll let me, I plan on keeping him in my life.
Great.
How many women are coming to this WWAHH thing? 50? Twelve.
Rule number one of being a good hostess: Never let your guests go hungry.
Excellent rule.
Oh, Mallory, you used the wrong serving platter.
I said, round for the veggies, square for the mini-quiches.
Who cares what platter? Not a problem.
I'll just start all over again.
"Helpful" is my middle name.
Okay Any progress on the bridesmaid issue? I don't know, I left a message for Mackenzie but I haven't heard back from her yet.
Mackenzie? Crazy neurotic Mackenzie who you barely know? Yeah.
I just remembered I have to go home.
What about the veggies? There's no way I'm moving.
See what I mean? Jack, tell him.
He can't stay at the trailer by himself, it's way too dangerous.
Look, Ash I'm not staying with your mom.
Why not? Why are you being so stubborn?! Oh, will you two knock it off, please?! Caleb, you can't stay in the trailer by yourself, not until your cast comes off.
Thank you! And Ashley, Caleb does not have to stay at Briar Ridge.
Thank you! You can stay here with us.
Uh, Jack, look, I know you're just trying to help, but you gotta understand.
Look, I spent weeks cooped up in that hospital.
I need some privacy.
I can't just be bunking here with everyone.
Yeah, I get that.
So stay in a cabin at the dude ranch then.
Well, they are empty, aren't they? Thanks for the reminder.
Yes, Caleb, you can stay at the dude ranch until your cast comes off or I get a paying customer - whatever comes first.
Okay.
I accept the offer.
Thanks, Jack.
Thanks, Lou.
What's your problem with Mr.
Hanley? You're kidding, right? He came back, Amy.
I know he never should've took off, but he did come back.
Yeah.
How he could've ever left them in the first place? It's like abandoning a child.
Hey.
I just came by to thank you for all you did for me.
It's no problem.
How're the horses? Animal Welfare called.
They've charged me for neglect.
They're taking the horses.
and now it's all gone.
Well, I'm sure things will get better.
No, it's too late.
Bank's foreclosing.
Thanks for everything.
Poor guy.
He didn't look too good.
Yeah, well, he brought it on himself.
He made some mistakes.
Those horses are probably gonna be put down - because of him.
- Amy! We all make mistakes.
And Mr.
Hanley made a big one, there's no question about it.
But how can we really know what it was like for him? You give the horses you work with hundreds of chances.
Mr.
Hanley loves those animals, you know that as well as I do.
And he's about to lose everything that's important to him.
And so I've been strategizing about the best way to spread the word about our various home businesses and I have come up with this.
Placemats.
Wow.
Yeah, I thought I'd talk to Maggie about putting them on the tables at the diner.
Um I know I'm new, but I actually have this little concept that I would like to share.
Marnie, do you mind? Absolutely.
Great.
So, when I started the Equestrian Connection I built this little website and it grew, and grew and Well, I can show it to you.
It's right here.
Oh.
It's beautiful.
Wow.
That's so professional.
You did this yourself? Yeah, and I thought WWAHH could do something similar.
You know, just build a killer website and then link it up to social networking sites like, um, Facebook, linkedin, even Twitter.
And then obviously to all your own websites as well, if you have them.
That's fabulous.
What is this? Just something I was noodling with.
POWER: Professional Organization of Women Entrepreneurs Registry.
I thought it packed a little more punch.
It's great.
I love it.
New blood.
It's always good.
I've always wanted to start my own website but I never knew how.
Oh, it's really easy.
I could show you how to set it up.
Great.
What's your line of work? I'm a lawyer.
I worked for a big company in Calgary for years, but I've moved back to Hudson and hung up my own shingle at home.
I know that story.
Are you enjoying it? Yeah.
I'm loving it.
I'm gonna give you my card.
Thank you.
May I? Mm-hm.
Caroline Hanley? Do you think they're related? I don't know.
I'm gonna find out.
Hi.
Caroline.
We've actually met.
Can I help you? Are you Levon Hanley's sister? And now he's about to lose his animals, the farm, everything.
Why are you telling me this? 'Cause you're his sister.
It's a family farm.
I just thought maybe you'd wanna help if you knew.
Let me explain something to you.
Levon and I We haven't spoken for years.
He's your brother.
And as for the "family farm"? I have no connection to it any more.
I couldn't care less what happens to it.
He needs your help.
C-can't you just- if you'll excuse me.
I have a lot of work to do.
Certainly.
Thanks.
Pretty good, huh? I've already had two calls thanks to these.
Yeah.
Hey, we should get some made with "POWER.
" I really think POWER is better, don't you? We could take a vote on it at the next meeting.
Marnie.
I have to thank you - May I? I have to thank you so much for introducing me to your group.
They've been so great! So supportive.
And they're totally sold on my website idea.
But hey, we are not here to talk about business.
Let's order something fattening and talk about the engagement party.
I've been thinking about it and I have a lot of ideas.
I'm sure you do.
I actually have one, too.
Great.
Let's hear it.
Find yourself another maid of honour 'cause I quit.
Mr.
Hanley? Amy, what're you doing here? I spoke with your sister.
Caroline? I thought maybe she could help.
You shouldn't have bothered.
You know I just don't get it.
It's no wonder Caroline won't speak to me.
What do you mean? She hates me for having this place.
My dad left it for me, you see, not her.
She's the eldest.
Sometimes I swear I can feel my dad looking down, shaking his head, saying, "I shoulda left the farm for Caroline after all.
" 'Cause all I did was botch it up.
I let 'em all down, Amy.
Didn't I, boy? I got some supplies.
From Lou.
Thanks.
It's a little early for that, isn't it? A celebration.
Ashley just brought me back from the doctor's office and Well, the X-rays says everything's healed up nicely.
That's great news, man.
Yeah.
Be back on my feet in a month or two.
Awesome.
So, uh You sure everything's all right? Yeah.
Couldn't be better.
Yeah, hi, Lise.
It's me, again.
Uh, call me back.
She's avoiding your calls.
Now why on earth would she do that? Uh, she's jealous.
Jealous? Of what? Of Val, duh! That is ridiculous.
Lisa knows Val and I are friends.
Just friends.
Jack, Jack, Jack, wake up! Ever since Lisa's been home, all she's seen is you with Val, you talking about Val, Val working with Amy, Val staying for dinner, Val talking about how awesome you are.
How can you even think that? I don't think, I know! God, this family can be so dense sometimes, you guys don't even see what's right before your eyes! Excuse me? I've had just about enough criticism for one day.
Yeah, well, that goes for you, too! Me? What're you talking about, Mallory? See? You're oblivious to the pain you're causing me.
What pain? What do I have to do? What do I have to say? I have been dying for you to ask me to be one of your bridesmaids.
I've dropped a million clues, and do you get a hint? No! I need a mental health day.
This family is driving me crazy! Mallory? Look, Mallory, can you let me explain? It didn't dawn on me to ask you to be a bridesmaid because Because? I've always thought of you more like a little sister.
Like a flower girl.
A flower girl? Am I six years old?! No you're not six years old.
Look, you've grown into a wonderful young woman and a good friend and I would be honoured if you would agree to be one of my bridesmaids.
Offer accepted.
Thank you.
Now, as your bridesmaids, can I make a suggestion? You should really make up with Marnie, else your caterer is out the window.
How did you know about Marnie? Like I wouldn't know.
Thank you! Thank you very much! Caleb? Are you there? Put your coat on and get out here! Just a minute, Ash.
I have a surprise for you.
Come here.
I rode here and I brought a friend.
Ta-da! What's Shorty doing here? I thought you'd like to see him.
You think this is helpful? What? I might never rodeo again and you shove it in my face! What are you talking about? The doctor said you'd be good to go in a month.
Yeah, sure, the injuries might heal.
I'm never gonna rodeo again.
Yes, you will.
Of course you will.
Caleb I'm trying really hard here.
The last few weeks haven't been easy.
You think they've been easy on me? Huh?! You taking care of me, being Little Miss Sunshine? Caleb, look.
I know you're in a bad place right now- Yeah, it's been great.
Real easy to put up with.
Especially since Since what? Since it's your fault.
My fault?! I told you not to come to that rodeo.
I told you it was bad luck for me, and what do you do but show up.
I showed up because I care about you! I can't believe this! How dare you blame me for that accident! You know, you're lucky I was there.
You know, who was the one that stayed with you at the hospital day and night? Who held your hand? Who smuggled in food for you? I did everything for you! You know, I can't believe how selfish and thoughtless you are! You don't get it And you never will.
Let's just call it a day.
Fine.
You know what? You got it! Caroline? Look, I know you said it didn't, but this place still means a lot to you, doesn't it? It's all just bad memories.
They can't be all bad.
I mean, you keep coming back here, don't ya? We had fun here when we were kids.
We had the run of it.
This place was supposed to be given to you, wasn't it? Yeah.
Dad knew I loved this place.
He always said it would be mine, but I was at law school when he died and Next thing I knew, he'd given it all to Levon.
I was the eldest, I was the most responsible.
He should have left it to me.
But I was a girl And a girl wasn't capable of running a ranch.
Great, huh? Now look at it.
It's falling apart.
It sounds like your fight was never with your brother.
It was with your dad.
Amy? Caroline? No, Caroline.
Please, just Just leave it be, Amy.
Please.
Don't get involved.
I'm glad you came.
Thanks for the invitation.
It was unexpected.
I know I haven't been very attentive since you've been home.
Well, you've had other things on your mind.
If by "things" you mean Val Your words, not mine.
Look, Lise Val and I We are just friends.
End of story.
I know that.
She knows that.
Please.
Val may know it, but she doesn't accept it.
Take it from me, Jack, as a fellow member of the female persuasion, I know a lot more about the inner workings of Val Stanton than you do.
I don't think so.
Oh, I do! I mean, look, you're entitled to your friends, of course - Male or female.
But if you don't know what Val is up to, - then - Then what? Then you're naive.
- Oh! I am not naive! - Yes, you are.
She's a vulture, Jack.
She's just waiting to swoop down at the first sign that whatever we have is roadkill.
Roadkill? What're you talking - Roadkill? - It feels to me like, since I got back, whatever it is that's going on between us could just go splat at any moment.
Splat? Roadkill splat! Splat! You realize that in two years Not one thing has changed about our relationship? Think there's a reason for that? Well, of course there's a reason foe that! It's fine the way it is.
Well, okay Maybe it's fine for you.
And not for you? Face facts.
Just admit it, Jack, you're not committed to me.
Oh, I damn well am committed to you! Well, I haven't seen a lot of proof of that lately! You want proof? You want proof?! Then marry me, dammit! I totally overstepped my bounds with WWAHH, Marnie.
It's your group, you created it, you're the leader.
Yeah, I am.
And I promise that I'll back right off.
I'm truly sorry.
Apology accepted.
Did you find another maid of honour? No, not yet.
But don't worry, you're still excused from the job.
Just please Please tell me you'll still cater my wedding.
Oh my God, I know I'm gonna regret this.
Nice.
All right, let's see here.
Hi.
I, um I thought about what you said - About my fight being with my dad and not Levon - And you were right.
I don't want us lose the family farm.
And I I don't wanna lose you.
- Caroline - I'm gonna help you out.
Hi.
I'm Caroline Hanley.
Barb Wharton.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Levon's sister, and I'm gonna make sure that these horses are taken care of.
Well, if these horses are gonna to stay, I'm gonna need to see proof of that.
Yeah.
Of course.
I have a good practice in town and I've just made arrangments with Levon's bank manager.
Here's a letter from him.
Well, looks good to me.
I'm gonna have to make a call, first.
Until one fine day my fortune changed I was standing at the station Hey.
Hey.
I hear you're back in the market for a maid of honour.
Yeah.
Turns out I'm a bigger pain in the butt than I realized.
Yeah.
You know, if you'll have me, I'd love to take the job.
Seriously? Yeah.
I mean, only a sister would do it right.
But I get to pick the dress.
Okay.
And the colour.
Don't push it.
Okay.
Jack? What you said in the kitchen About getting married? Were you serious? I wouldn't have said it if I wasn't.
True believer true believer in our love
We get a ton of hits and I'm sure it'll fill up your stable.
Why would you do that for me? 'Cause you care about horses; That says a lot about a person.
What's wrong with her? I think it's strangles, and you know what that means.
You're under quarantine.
You can't come.
Why not? I know it sounds stupid, but it's bad luck.
Look, the last time I brought a girl, I lost like every event.
Go, Caleb! Come on! Ungh! But the quarantine was lifted weeks ago.
And you do know that humans can't get strangles, right? Fine.
I understand.
But your first night's deposit is not refundable.
Okay, thanks.
Bye.
So, have you picked your bridesmaid or maid of honour yet? Are you kidding me? I'm too busy trying to piece back together this business.
Well, you should've nailed that by now.
So who are you thinking of asking? It says in this wedding plan thing, that your bridesmaid should be someone you've known for a really long time, someone who is loyal, responsible.
Someone who will help you through the inevitable ups and downs leading to your big day! Someone, in fact, that is like Well, Amy's gonna be my maid of honour, right? Uh wrong? What? Why not? Well, because you and I wouldn't be speaking to each other by the wedding day.
But you have to be, you're my sister! And I'll be your bridesmaid.
Just not maid of honour.
What?! I'm sorry, Lou.
Gotta go.
Ty and I are seeing Caleb at the hospital.
So Amy is a bridesmaid.
And it says here that you should have two bridesmaids and a maid of honour.
Well, I can make a suggestion Can you believe that? Turned down by my own sister! Now what do I do? You want me to be your maid of honour? You're the first person I thought of.
What about Amy? Ah, she's a little young to handle all the responsibilities.
Wow, uh I'm touched.
And I would love to be your maid of honour.
Fantastic.
Yeah.
That's great.
Well, it looks like Caleb's in a good space.
Yeah.
Amazing, considering what happened.
At least he'll be out soon.
Yeah.
Ty! Ty, look out! Hold on! And at the break of day you sank into your dream, you dreamer.
Oh, oh, oh You dreamer, you dreamer.
Hey.
Hey.
Good boy.
Good boy.
Ty, these horses aren't in great shape.
Yeah, this guys ribs are showing.
I think these are Mr.
Hanley's fields.
They must be his horses.
Huh, let's get them back.
'Kay.
So there's just a few things that you can help me with to get started If you don't mind? No.
Not at all.
Great.
Number one on the list is probably the engagement party, since you'll be hosting.
And, uh, it is so hard working around Peter's crazy schedule.
He's got this flight.
Unbelievable! Another cancellation at the dude ranch.
Business is bad? People will not believe me when I say that humans cannot get equine viruses like strangles.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I really need an idea to get business rolling again 'cause After I had Jerry Junior, I felt totally out of the picture, work-wise.
But then I met these other moms at Gymboree.
Gymboree? Yeah.
Turns out they all missed work as much as I did.
But they had terrific ideas about starting their own small home businesses, so I formed "WWAHH.
" W-W-A-H-H: Women Working At Home in Hudson.
Cute.
You should join us.
Oh, thank you, but I don't see how making quilts and seasonal door wreaths is really gonna help my business right now.
Lou These women, they're lawyers, graphic artists, accountants.
It's been great for networking.
My catering business has gone crazy as a result.
But, you know, if you're not interested.
No, I'm I'm interested.
I'm very interested.
So, I hear Caleb's due back any day now.
Yes.
Yes.
And he's insisting he's fine to live in that trailer of his.
I'm here to tell you he's not ready for that.
I told him he could stay at Briar Ridge For a little while anay.
But you know Caleb.
I mean, he's almost as stubborn as you are.
So, uh, how's Ashley holding up? Well, I gotta hand it to her, Jack.
I mean, she's been by his side practically 24/7, ever since the accident.
You know Caleb was pretty down at first, right? Well, understandable.
Yeah, but Ashley She is such a positive force for him, I can't tell you.
Who knew my daughter channelled an inner Florence Nightingale, huh? Don't you worry about Caleb.
Between the two of us, we'll make sure he's looked after.
Thank you, Jack.
I appreciate that.
- - - sa: Hello?! Lisa! I thought you weren't coming back till next week? Yeah, no, I came home early and, uh Came straight from the airport to surprise you, which it seems that I certainly did.
It's good to see you back safe and sound, Lisa.
Um I know Jack has missed you.
And, uh, I was just leaving.
So, I'll see you, Jack, and thanks for the coffee.
- Bye.
- Bye.
Oh, look at you.
You just made my day.
- Hi cowboy.
- Hi.
Mr.
Hanley? Mr.
Hanley?! You find him? Uh, no.
Well, he's not in the house.
And his truck's not here.
So I'm thinking he's in town.
I did a patch job on the gate.
But it needs to be fixed properly.
Okay.
And there's a cat that's dying to be fed.
All right.
All right, let's go.
Still no answer at Mr.
Hanley's.
Well, maybe he got stuck somewhere overnight.
Well, if he's not back by morning, we're gonna have to go check on his horses again.
So nice to see you have all the time in the world for Mr.
Hanley, practically a total stranger, yet you don't have a minute for your own sister.
What's she talking about? Oh, she didn't tell you? She flat out refused to be my maid of honour.
You'll thank me later, believe me.
Besides, I'm sure you've found someone.
I already did - Marnie - and she's thrilled.
Oh, well, that's great.
Not only is she gonna be my maid of honour she introduced me to WWAHH.
- WWAAH? - WwWWAHH? Women Working At Home in Hudson.
Don't laugh! It's clever.
That is awesome.
It's a pretty powerful networking group, okay? And you've probably already joined? Yes, and I'm hosting their first meeting.
Stop it.
It's a great way to get the word out the equestrian connection is up and running.
I'm sure.
Hello? Uh, yeah.
Just a sec, Marnie.
Hey, I was just gonna call you.
So, why didn't you wanna be her maid of honour? Well, you know what? I was actually thinking for the bridal shower more of a goddess theme.
That's why.
Yeah.
I never thought my trailer could look so good.
I'll get your wheelchair.
No, um Could you just grab my crutch.
Yeah.
- Here you go.
- Thanks.
You smell that? That's fresh air.
No more hospital smell for me.
You know, there's a- I'm I'm good.
It's all right.
There's fresh air at Briar Ridge, too.
You know, you can't stay here out here on your own.
Ash, been looking after myself since I was 16, and I'll be damned if I let a couple of broken bones change that.
Okay.
Well Gotta admit, cowboy, your positive attitude is really amazing.
I'm so proud of you.
It's good to have you back home.
Thanks.
Hey, boy, come here.
Look what I got for you.
I won't forget you either.
Here you go.
Excuse me, who are you? What are you doing here? I'm Amy Fleming.
I'm a friend of Mr.
Hanley's.
I'm just looking after his horses.
Oh.
Oh, I'm a friend too.
Is he around? No.
Uh Have you seen him? We were actually wondering- No, I haven't.
Not for a while.
Oh.
I guess I'll be going.
I checked the water pump in the field.
There's a reason the horses broke out yesterday.
They were looking for water.
Huh.
What about the troughs? They were empty.
I had to fill them by hand 'cause the pump isn't working.
I think the power's off.
That explains why there's no lights on in the barn.
Ty, it's supposed to drop below zero tonight, those troughs are just gonna freeze.
I know, I know.
And there's not a lot of hay left either.
Where is Mr.
Hanley? What's going on here? I found these earlier.
They're bills.
All unpaid.
I hate to say it, but it wouldn't surprise me if he's taken off.
That's what I think.
No.
There's no way.
It's happening a lot right now.
Running a ranch is a struggle at the best of times.
Throw a recession into the mix and A sad story, but I have heard cases where the owners have shot their horses before they left, rather than let 'em starve to death.
That's awful.
Hey! I wouldn't put it past Mr.
Hanley.
That guy is creepy.
Mr.
Hanley may be a little bit eccentric.
But he loves his horses, okay.
He wouldn't abandon them.
I hope you're right.
Hey, uh I think we should board his horses here until he shows up.
Absolutely not.
Please tell me that this has nothing to do with me not wanting to be your maid of honour.
No, this has to do with the fact that we can't take that kind of risk.
I mean, all we need is a bunch of horses we don't know anything about to bring a virus like strangles to us again.
She's right, Amy.
Absolutely.
You should just listen to Lou, Amy.
Okay.
Okay.
But until he shows up, we are gonna have to go and feed them everyday.
Coming.
Aren't you glad I backed you up on that, Lou? Yeah.
So, have you made a decision on your second bridesmaid? The clock is ticking.
- Hey there! - Hi! I was hoping that I could convince you to come on a little drive with me.
I have to look at a couple of horses, and I would love your opinion.
Sure thing.
Just let me get cleaned up a bit.
Hi! Hi, Lisa.
Val.
Well, Caleb's back.
Yeah, where's he staying? In his trailer.
Like I told you, he's crazy.
Yeah, tell you what.
Why don't you invite Ashley and Caleb over here for supper tonight, and you come, too, and we'll give him a proper welcome back.
That's really nice, Jack, thank you.
I'll run it by the kids, and I'll bring my shepherd's pie.
You loved it the last time.
Mmm! I'm off for a ride on Electra.
See ya later.
Have fun.
She seems to be spending a lot of time here.
Yeah, well, she's taken up show jumping again, if you can believe that.
Amy's training her.
Why is she not using the trainers at Briar Ridge? Doesn't want 'em to know, I guess.
Says she's embarrassed.
Okay, I will come with you to look at that horse on one condition.
What's that? That you promise me that you will stay for supper tonight.
Oh, I get an invitation too, do I? Well, this should keep 'em for awhile.
Knock, knock.
Hi.
Hi.
Uh, can we help you? Yeah, I'm Peace Officer Wharton from Alberta SPCA.
We received a call from a concerned citizen who thinks that the owner, Levon Hanley, may have abandoned his horses.
No, that's not true.
Oh, is he here, then? Well, no.
He's not, but- But he wouldn't do something like that.
He loves his horses too much.
There's gotta be a good reason why he's not here.
There are no good reasons to leave horses to starve.
Okay, but we're looking after the horses until he gets back, so there's no problem here.
Yeah.
Look, I think what you guys are doing here is great, and I'll pass that along to my superiors.
But Levon Hanley could be in big trouble.
Now here is a warning notification.
Now, there's a good chance he'll be charged for neglecting his animals and these horses may be seized.
Well, I spent one week at my place in France and then flew to Austria to check out some horses.
Then the very last week was in Rome.
Just Rome, fabulous.
No business, just visiting old friends.
Sounds wonderful.
Too bad you can never convince this one to go with you, huh? Yes.
It is.
Let's not go there.
Does anybody need sugar for their coffee? I do.
You kids, can you start cleaning up this table? Oh well, you know, for purely selfish reasons, I am really glad Jack is a homebody.
I can tell you, I don't know what I would have done without him these past few months.
He couldn't do enough for me.
Hmm.
Well, I think I think I'm gonna go.
Oh, you're leaving? Already? Yeah, I think I'm just wiped.
It must be jet lag, or something.
Good night, everybody.
Good night.
I wish you didn't have to go.
Well, it seems like you're in good hands.
Eh? Oh.
Well, get some sleep.
And, um, I'll see you tomorrow.
Yeah.
Table.
We're on it.
Hey, so what's the word? They think you're gonna make a full recovery? I go in for X-rays in a few days, so I'll know more about it then.
Ah, he's been so incredible.
The doctors are amazed how fast he's back on his feet.
Totally amazing! Ashley Stanton, everyone.
My personal cheering squad.
Oh, he'll be back competing in no time, good as new, like the whole thing never happened.
Right, sweetie? Yeah.
Well, we'd better hit the road.
It's time for you to go to sleep.
Hey Mom, you ready to go? Is it just me, or are Caleb and Ashley acting a little weird? You mean, aside from the fact that she's acting like a Stepford wife? Yeah.
Ty, I think we should turn these guys out today.
That's a good idea.
Mr.
Hanley! Thank God you're okay.
We were worried sick about you.
Where have you been? It doesn't matter where I've been.
Well, yeah.
It does.
We were looking after your horses for days.
Thanks for that.
There's no water and the power's off.
I know.
Look, I need you to understand.
I depend on my boarders.
They keep me Well, they keep the place going.
But They couldn't make their payments.
Okay, so What do you think? One by one, they pulled out.
You know what it's like when the money dries up but the bills keep coming in? So, these aren't your boarders? No.
They're from a farm a couple of roads over.
They were gonna put them down.
Couldn't stand that.
So I brought them here.
You rescued them? Yeah.
I rescued them all right.
And I left 'em.
I was scared.
So, you abandoned your animals.
I came back.
You're a little late.
Animal Welfare was already here.
They're deciding what to do with your horses.
And, you know, the only reason we found them was 'cause they'd escaped - they were looking for water.
They could have been killed on that road.
And I defended you.
Caleb? Caleb? Oh my God! Caleb! Caleb! Wake up! Oh my God Are you okay?! Caleb?! Oh.
Val, hello.
Hi, Lisa.
How are ya? Oh, that's a nice bridle.
Jack tells me you're show-jumping again.
Yeah.
I guess I'm trying to prove the adage wrong: You can teach an old dog a new trick.
Or At least a trick I haven't tried in a long, long time.
Mm-hm.
Val, I wanted to thank you for keeping Jack company while I'm away.
It's my pleasure.
I'm sure it is.
Oh, and you're working with Amy now, so you're gonna be at Heartland a lot more? I guess so.
Yeah.
I guess if we time it right, you could be at dinner every night.
What's that supposed to mean? Nothing.
Lisa I'm not gonna lie to you.
When I was sick, I made a bucket list, and item number four on that bucket list says "spend more time with people I care about.
" And Jack is one of those people? Well, as you should know better than anyone, Jack is a really great guy and I've known him for a very long time.
So, yeah, as long as he'll let me, I plan on keeping him in my life.
Great.
How many women are coming to this WWAHH thing? 50? Twelve.
Rule number one of being a good hostess: Never let your guests go hungry.
Excellent rule.
Oh, Mallory, you used the wrong serving platter.
I said, round for the veggies, square for the mini-quiches.
Who cares what platter? Not a problem.
I'll just start all over again.
"Helpful" is my middle name.
Okay Any progress on the bridesmaid issue? I don't know, I left a message for Mackenzie but I haven't heard back from her yet.
Mackenzie? Crazy neurotic Mackenzie who you barely know? Yeah.
I just remembered I have to go home.
What about the veggies? There's no way I'm moving.
See what I mean? Jack, tell him.
He can't stay at the trailer by himself, it's way too dangerous.
Look, Ash I'm not staying with your mom.
Why not? Why are you being so stubborn?! Oh, will you two knock it off, please?! Caleb, you can't stay in the trailer by yourself, not until your cast comes off.
Thank you! And Ashley, Caleb does not have to stay at Briar Ridge.
Thank you! You can stay here with us.
Uh, Jack, look, I know you're just trying to help, but you gotta understand.
Look, I spent weeks cooped up in that hospital.
I need some privacy.
I can't just be bunking here with everyone.
Yeah, I get that.
So stay in a cabin at the dude ranch then.
Well, they are empty, aren't they? Thanks for the reminder.
Yes, Caleb, you can stay at the dude ranch until your cast comes off or I get a paying customer - whatever comes first.
Okay.
I accept the offer.
Thanks, Jack.
Thanks, Lou.
What's your problem with Mr.
Hanley? You're kidding, right? He came back, Amy.
I know he never should've took off, but he did come back.
Yeah.
How he could've ever left them in the first place? It's like abandoning a child.
Hey.
I just came by to thank you for all you did for me.
It's no problem.
How're the horses? Animal Welfare called.
They've charged me for neglect.
They're taking the horses.
and now it's all gone.
Well, I'm sure things will get better.
No, it's too late.
Bank's foreclosing.
Thanks for everything.
Poor guy.
He didn't look too good.
Yeah, well, he brought it on himself.
He made some mistakes.
Those horses are probably gonna be put down - because of him.
- Amy! We all make mistakes.
And Mr.
Hanley made a big one, there's no question about it.
But how can we really know what it was like for him? You give the horses you work with hundreds of chances.
Mr.
Hanley loves those animals, you know that as well as I do.
And he's about to lose everything that's important to him.
And so I've been strategizing about the best way to spread the word about our various home businesses and I have come up with this.
Placemats.
Wow.
Yeah, I thought I'd talk to Maggie about putting them on the tables at the diner.
Um I know I'm new, but I actually have this little concept that I would like to share.
Marnie, do you mind? Absolutely.
Great.
So, when I started the Equestrian Connection I built this little website and it grew, and grew and Well, I can show it to you.
It's right here.
Oh.
It's beautiful.
Wow.
That's so professional.
You did this yourself? Yeah, and I thought WWAHH could do something similar.
You know, just build a killer website and then link it up to social networking sites like, um, Facebook, linkedin, even Twitter.
And then obviously to all your own websites as well, if you have them.
That's fabulous.
What is this? Just something I was noodling with.
POWER: Professional Organization of Women Entrepreneurs Registry.
I thought it packed a little more punch.
It's great.
I love it.
New blood.
It's always good.
I've always wanted to start my own website but I never knew how.
Oh, it's really easy.
I could show you how to set it up.
Great.
What's your line of work? I'm a lawyer.
I worked for a big company in Calgary for years, but I've moved back to Hudson and hung up my own shingle at home.
I know that story.
Are you enjoying it? Yeah.
I'm loving it.
I'm gonna give you my card.
Thank you.
May I? Mm-hm.
Caroline Hanley? Do you think they're related? I don't know.
I'm gonna find out.
Hi.
Caroline.
We've actually met.
Can I help you? Are you Levon Hanley's sister? And now he's about to lose his animals, the farm, everything.
Why are you telling me this? 'Cause you're his sister.
It's a family farm.
I just thought maybe you'd wanna help if you knew.
Let me explain something to you.
Levon and I We haven't spoken for years.
He's your brother.
And as for the "family farm"? I have no connection to it any more.
I couldn't care less what happens to it.
He needs your help.
C-can't you just- if you'll excuse me.
I have a lot of work to do.
Certainly.
Thanks.
Pretty good, huh? I've already had two calls thanks to these.
Yeah.
Hey, we should get some made with "POWER.
" I really think POWER is better, don't you? We could take a vote on it at the next meeting.
Marnie.
I have to thank you - May I? I have to thank you so much for introducing me to your group.
They've been so great! So supportive.
And they're totally sold on my website idea.
But hey, we are not here to talk about business.
Let's order something fattening and talk about the engagement party.
I've been thinking about it and I have a lot of ideas.
I'm sure you do.
I actually have one, too.
Great.
Let's hear it.
Find yourself another maid of honour 'cause I quit.
Mr.
Hanley? Amy, what're you doing here? I spoke with your sister.
Caroline? I thought maybe she could help.
You shouldn't have bothered.
You know I just don't get it.
It's no wonder Caroline won't speak to me.
What do you mean? She hates me for having this place.
My dad left it for me, you see, not her.
She's the eldest.
Sometimes I swear I can feel my dad looking down, shaking his head, saying, "I shoulda left the farm for Caroline after all.
" 'Cause all I did was botch it up.
I let 'em all down, Amy.
Didn't I, boy? I got some supplies.
From Lou.
Thanks.
It's a little early for that, isn't it? A celebration.
Ashley just brought me back from the doctor's office and Well, the X-rays says everything's healed up nicely.
That's great news, man.
Yeah.
Be back on my feet in a month or two.
Awesome.
So, uh You sure everything's all right? Yeah.
Couldn't be better.
Yeah, hi, Lise.
It's me, again.
Uh, call me back.
She's avoiding your calls.
Now why on earth would she do that? Uh, she's jealous.
Jealous? Of what? Of Val, duh! That is ridiculous.
Lisa knows Val and I are friends.
Just friends.
Jack, Jack, Jack, wake up! Ever since Lisa's been home, all she's seen is you with Val, you talking about Val, Val working with Amy, Val staying for dinner, Val talking about how awesome you are.
How can you even think that? I don't think, I know! God, this family can be so dense sometimes, you guys don't even see what's right before your eyes! Excuse me? I've had just about enough criticism for one day.
Yeah, well, that goes for you, too! Me? What're you talking about, Mallory? See? You're oblivious to the pain you're causing me.
What pain? What do I have to do? What do I have to say? I have been dying for you to ask me to be one of your bridesmaids.
I've dropped a million clues, and do you get a hint? No! I need a mental health day.
This family is driving me crazy! Mallory? Look, Mallory, can you let me explain? It didn't dawn on me to ask you to be a bridesmaid because Because? I've always thought of you more like a little sister.
Like a flower girl.
A flower girl? Am I six years old?! No you're not six years old.
Look, you've grown into a wonderful young woman and a good friend and I would be honoured if you would agree to be one of my bridesmaids.
Offer accepted.
Thank you.
Now, as your bridesmaids, can I make a suggestion? You should really make up with Marnie, else your caterer is out the window.
How did you know about Marnie? Like I wouldn't know.
Thank you! Thank you very much! Caleb? Are you there? Put your coat on and get out here! Just a minute, Ash.
I have a surprise for you.
Come here.
I rode here and I brought a friend.
Ta-da! What's Shorty doing here? I thought you'd like to see him.
You think this is helpful? What? I might never rodeo again and you shove it in my face! What are you talking about? The doctor said you'd be good to go in a month.
Yeah, sure, the injuries might heal.
I'm never gonna rodeo again.
Yes, you will.
Of course you will.
Caleb I'm trying really hard here.
The last few weeks haven't been easy.
You think they've been easy on me? Huh?! You taking care of me, being Little Miss Sunshine? Caleb, look.
I know you're in a bad place right now- Yeah, it's been great.
Real easy to put up with.
Especially since Since what? Since it's your fault.
My fault?! I told you not to come to that rodeo.
I told you it was bad luck for me, and what do you do but show up.
I showed up because I care about you! I can't believe this! How dare you blame me for that accident! You know, you're lucky I was there.
You know, who was the one that stayed with you at the hospital day and night? Who held your hand? Who smuggled in food for you? I did everything for you! You know, I can't believe how selfish and thoughtless you are! You don't get it And you never will.
Let's just call it a day.
Fine.
You know what? You got it! Caroline? Look, I know you said it didn't, but this place still means a lot to you, doesn't it? It's all just bad memories.
They can't be all bad.
I mean, you keep coming back here, don't ya? We had fun here when we were kids.
We had the run of it.
This place was supposed to be given to you, wasn't it? Yeah.
Dad knew I loved this place.
He always said it would be mine, but I was at law school when he died and Next thing I knew, he'd given it all to Levon.
I was the eldest, I was the most responsible.
He should have left it to me.
But I was a girl And a girl wasn't capable of running a ranch.
Great, huh? Now look at it.
It's falling apart.
It sounds like your fight was never with your brother.
It was with your dad.
Amy? Caroline? No, Caroline.
Please, just Just leave it be, Amy.
Please.
Don't get involved.
I'm glad you came.
Thanks for the invitation.
It was unexpected.
I know I haven't been very attentive since you've been home.
Well, you've had other things on your mind.
If by "things" you mean Val Your words, not mine.
Look, Lise Val and I We are just friends.
End of story.
I know that.
She knows that.
Please.
Val may know it, but she doesn't accept it.
Take it from me, Jack, as a fellow member of the female persuasion, I know a lot more about the inner workings of Val Stanton than you do.
I don't think so.
Oh, I do! I mean, look, you're entitled to your friends, of course - Male or female.
But if you don't know what Val is up to, - then - Then what? Then you're naive.
- Oh! I am not naive! - Yes, you are.
She's a vulture, Jack.
She's just waiting to swoop down at the first sign that whatever we have is roadkill.
Roadkill? What're you talking - Roadkill? - It feels to me like, since I got back, whatever it is that's going on between us could just go splat at any moment.
Splat? Roadkill splat! Splat! You realize that in two years Not one thing has changed about our relationship? Think there's a reason for that? Well, of course there's a reason foe that! It's fine the way it is.
Well, okay Maybe it's fine for you.
And not for you? Face facts.
Just admit it, Jack, you're not committed to me.
Oh, I damn well am committed to you! Well, I haven't seen a lot of proof of that lately! You want proof? You want proof?! Then marry me, dammit! I totally overstepped my bounds with WWAHH, Marnie.
It's your group, you created it, you're the leader.
Yeah, I am.
And I promise that I'll back right off.
I'm truly sorry.
Apology accepted.
Did you find another maid of honour? No, not yet.
But don't worry, you're still excused from the job.
Just please Please tell me you'll still cater my wedding.
Oh my God, I know I'm gonna regret this.
Nice.
All right, let's see here.
Hi.
I, um I thought about what you said - About my fight being with my dad and not Levon - And you were right.
I don't want us lose the family farm.
And I I don't wanna lose you.
- Caroline - I'm gonna help you out.
Hi.
I'm Caroline Hanley.
Barb Wharton.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Levon's sister, and I'm gonna make sure that these horses are taken care of.
Well, if these horses are gonna to stay, I'm gonna need to see proof of that.
Yeah.
Of course.
I have a good practice in town and I've just made arrangments with Levon's bank manager.
Here's a letter from him.
Well, looks good to me.
I'm gonna have to make a call, first.
Until one fine day my fortune changed I was standing at the station Hey.
Hey.
I hear you're back in the market for a maid of honour.
Yeah.
Turns out I'm a bigger pain in the butt than I realized.
Yeah.
You know, if you'll have me, I'd love to take the job.
Seriously? Yeah.
I mean, only a sister would do it right.
But I get to pick the dress.
Okay.
And the colour.
Don't push it.
Okay.
Jack? What you said in the kitchen About getting married? Were you serious? I wouldn't have said it if I wasn't.
True believer true believer in our love
