Heartland (CA) s04e13 Episode Script
The Road Home
Previously on Heartland: You have to admit we're really good together.
Yes, yes we are! I let Chase put a claim in on Dexter and Ty was right there.
Any reason I should worried about my boyfriend giving my best friend such expensive gifts? It wasn't a gift.
I was gonna do some clinics with him.
What're you doing? Amy and I called it quits.
Thanks for meeting with me, Amy.
No problem.
I've been selling horses to police departments for quite a while now.
I can't seem to keep up with the demand lately; that's where you come in.
Well, I'm glad I can help.
I need you to completely bomb proof these guys for me.
Make sure nothing can spook them.
You've come to the right place.
I've desensitized lots of horses.
This here is Legend Hey, bud.
Karma and Goliath.
They've spent most of their lives hauling plows in a Mennonite colony.
They're pretty sturdy, so don't go easy on 'em.
So you're dropping off all three? That was the plan.
I can take a couple back if you don't think you can handle 'em.
No, no, I can handle it.
I can totally handle it, no problem.
There is no way I can handle this.
What were you thinking? Well, I just thought if I turned him away, it would be unprofessional.
No, what's unprofessional is making promises you can't keep.
I mean maybe if Ty and Caleb here, but you're alone.
Alone.
Great.
Thanks for reminding me.
That is not what I meant.
You know, maybe this is an opportunity.
Sometimes you just have to challenge yourself; push your own boundaries.
What are you? A motivational speaker? You're scaring me.
I'm just trying to be positive.
Aren't you the one who's always telling me to be that way? Hey, I'm all for positive vibes, but you have to be realistic here.
Are you sure about this? I know how much you hate going into the city.
Are you kidding? What could be more fun than hanging out in a bookstore? Other than doing my taxes, or taking a long drive through the prairies Okay, I get it.
We really don't have to go.
No, no, no, I want to.
You're like a kid in a candy shop when you're buying books.
Pretty adorable.
Have I told you you're like the best boyfriend in the whole world? Yeah, I kind of am.
All right, you get that.
I'm gonna go grab my stuff.
Well, well, well, isn't this a surprise.
Uh No, I'm not busy today.
I'll be right over.
All right, I'm ready to go.
Um Hello? Is anybody home? Hey.
Hey.
Is Amy here? Or She sent me a text message, said I should come by the house, so Yeah.
Yeah, she left you something.
Did she say anything? Or No.
No, I'm sorry, Ty, she didn't.
Hey, Chase.
Thanks for coming.
I had a feeling we'd be working together again.
Well, I wouldn't have called, but I got a little in over my head.
No, don't worry.
We can totally handle this.
I brought some stuff to help us finish the job.
Yeah.
Looks like you brought your entire bag of tricks.
Well, there aren't exactly any riots in Hudson, so I figured we'd create a bit of our own urban chaos.
All right.
Hey! Can you grab these? Got it? Where should we set up? I was thinking maybe the back pens.
Sounds good.
Well, that wasn't very friendly, was it? Come on.
Let's get started.
And at the break of day you sank into your dream you dreamer oh, oh, oh you dreamer you dreamer Hello? Hey.
Uh The Hancock's mare had her foal this morning.
It was a difficult labour.
Could've used your help.
I forgot, Scott.
This is the third time in a row.
I know, I just, uh I've been busy.
You know, I turned down a lot of other students who applied for your job.
Well, maybe you'd be better off with one of them then.
What are you saying? I don't know what I'm saying.
I just, uh Things are sort of complicated right now, and, um Well, I'd sure hate to lose you, Ty, but I need somebody I can rely on.
So you better make up your mind.
All right, just a few more steps.
- Almost there - Okay You ready? I'm ready.
Ta da! Oh my God! What do you think? Wow, it's Oh my God, it's incredible.
You like it? Are you kidding? Lou, I I can't believe how much work you got done since I was here last.
Well, I had a lot of help.
I couldn't have done it without Lisa.
Well, thank you very much, Lisa.
We wanted to have the crib done by the time you got here, but it turned out to be a little trickier than we thought.
Guys wow, honey.
Listen, I would love to stay and help, honestly, I would, but I got a meeting at the bank.
No, go.
I justI couldn't wait to show you.
See you tonight, okay? Okay.
Okay.
Lisa, thank you, again, so much.
Hey, don't mention it.
Bye.
You know what? It came together beautifully.
I feel kind of bad about how much money it cost.
Don't think about it.
It's worth every penny.
Just think about how much time you're gonna be spending in here, especially during mat leave.
Mat leave? I'm not taking mat leave.
No? No.
Oh, I just assumed that you would be taking a year off from the dude ranch after the baby was born.
I might take a few weeks off, but I won't need a whole year.
Does that mean you're getting a nanny? No, I don't think so.
Lou, I mean, between Heartland and the dude ranch, it's, it's more than a full-time job.
Which I will be perfectly capable of doing after the baby's born.
Okay.
Okay.
Now, uh, hand me that screwdriver.
Oh, Jack! Sorry about that.
Scott.
What's the rush? I'm late for a call.
I just can't seem to keep up.
Well, at least business is good.
Yeah, sure is.
Ty sure picked a hell of a day not to show up though.
Oh.
Doesn't sound like Ty.
Yeah.
Normally, I'd agree with you on that, but lately I don't know what's going on with that guy.
He was talking about quitting.
Really? Well, I'm sorry to hear that.
Yeah, me too.
Talk to you later.
Yeah.
Hey, Jack.
Um, I probably shouldn't say anything, but Work is not the only thing Tyâs been skipping out on.
I haven't seen him at school for the last few weeks.
Are you sure 'bout that? Pretty big campus isn't it? Well, it's not that big.
You know, desensitizing police horses ainât exactly horse whispering.
Yeah, I know.
Things might get a little crazy.
A few balls and a tarp is hardly what I'd call crazy.
Well, wait 'til we walk those horses between these two oil drums.
That doesn't sound very challenging.
I'm not done yet.
When we're done with all this, we're gonna walk those horses through fire.
Are you serious? Yeah, we gotta prepare 'em for anything: Riots, protests, natural disasters - you name it.
And if they can't handle a little bit of fire, they got no business being police horses.
Oh, you're not flaming out on me are you? No way.
Why are you hanging Scott out to dry? It's good to see you too, Jack.
And Soraya seems to think you're not going to school either.
I just need some time off.
Well, how much time? I don't know.
A few weeks.
What about your classes? I don't know, okay? I just need some time to figure some stuff out.
Well, what kind of stuff? Like maybe this whole vet thing was a bad idea.
Maybe I don't wanna be here anymore.
What? You're just gonna move away? Maybe.
Uh I'm gonna stay here 'til Caleb and Ashley get back from their honeymoon, and then, um And then, I don't know.
I just need some time to think.
Yeah, well, you better think fast With all due respect, Jack, the day I moved out of that loft, my life became none of your damn business.
All right.
Come on, through the curtains here.
Good job, Karma.
Alrighty.
There you go.
All right.
Come on, Legend.
It's okay, it's okay.
It's all right.
Legend, come on, let's go.
Come on, Amy, you gotta push him harder than that.
Well, I'm not gonna force him, all right? These things take time.
These other two horses went through the curtains just fine.
That guy's way too much of a squirrel.
Chase, I can get him to go through, all right? So just relax.
I am relaxed.
But you're the one with the reputation on the line, not me.
Jack? Well, come on, get your stuff.
You and me, we're going on a road trip.
- A road trip? - Yeah.
You're joking, right? Does it look like I'm joking? Where'd you get the bike? I borrowed it.
Now, come on, get your stuff.
No, I'm not going anywhere.
What do you want from me, Jack? I wanna know what happened to the guy who used to live up in my loft? Amy and I broke up and we're not getting back together.
Yeah, well, we're not talking about Amy here; we're talking about you.
Well, I don't wanna talk about me, so maybe you should just go.
Oh! Aw, I've got all day.
If we're not gonna go on our little road trip, well, I'll just hang out here with you.
Hey, you got any food? I am starving.
Maybe you could whip us up a couple of grilled cheese; that'd be good.
Put on some music.
Hey, do you think Caleb's got any Dolly Parton? I love Dolly.
I could listen to her all day.
Fine.
Let's go.
Come on.
So it looks like we have three couples checking in, and the Davidson's are bringing their grandson - Again.
- Uh huh.
The one who's allergic to everything.
Okay.
So no nuts or dairy for breakfast.
- Yes.
- And - A hypoallergenic pillow.
- Of course.
Cabin three.
Um, you know, there's one more thing.
I was thinking a lot about our discussion yesterday about me running the dude ranch after I have the baby.
And I want you to know that I'm gonna make it work, so you don't have to worry.
Mm-hm.
I had an idea.
Why don't we bring Soraya in full-time next summer and then you just have more flexibility with your days.
Right, but I don't see how we can afford Soraya full-time.
I mean, we can hardly afford her part-time as it is, right? Frankly, I don't know how we can afford not to.
Okay, just because I'm having a baby doesn't mean I'm suddenly useless.
Look, your life is changing in a huge way, and you kinda need to accept that you can't do everything on your own.
How do you know what my life is going to be like? I don't even know what my life is going to be like yet.
I mean, maybe if you had kids of your own, but you don't.
Right, so How could I possibly know what I'm talking about.
Lisa, that's not Lisa That is not what I meant.
That's all right.
Let's talk about it later.
Legend, come on, let's go.
Hey.
Come on, Amy, he's a lost cause.
Matthew hired me to train three horses, not two.
No, Matthew hired you to turn to these plow horses into police horses, and if that guy's not up to the task, then there's no sense wasting his money training a dud.
So what am I supposed to do, give up on him? Some horses just aren't meant to be police horses.
It's simple as that.
Maybe you're right.
'Course I'm right.
Now why don't we put him in the barn and concentrate on the other two.
Okay.
Come on, bud.
Whoa, whoa! Easy, easy, easy All right.
Well, these two are doing real good.
I think we should take 'em for a walk by the highway tomorrow.
Get them used to being around traffic.
All right.
Sounds good.
What do you say, boss, we all done for the day? Yeah, I think these guys have had enough.
Why are we stopping? Well, it's the end of the road, or maybe the beginning.
Depends on how you look at it.
Oh, that's deep, Jack.
Just hush up and listen.
I brought you out here to make you an offer.
What kind of offer? An offer that's gonna change your life, whether you take it or not.
Oh, this should be good.
I'm offering you the chance to move back into the loft.
You brought me all the way out here to ask if I wanted to move back into the loft? I'm not finished yet.
There'd two conditions.
One, you get back on track at school, and two, you work for Scott.
Wow, that's tempting, Jack, especially with those conditions attached, but I'm gonna have to pass.
Well, if you're not coming back to the loft, then do me a favour: Shove off.
Take that road to the highway, see where you end up.
Maybe the grass'll be greener, maybe it won't.
Maybe it'll just be hell, but at least you'll be moving on.
Why would I do that? Because I just spent the last three years watching you get your life together.
I'm not about to watch you throw it all away.
I can't, and I won't.
You got overnight to think about it.
If you don't show up at the ranch by tomorrow morning, don't show up at all.
So, uh Hey, listen.
Soraya and I, we're going to a movie later.
You want to come with us? Uh No, thank you though.
Why? You got other plans? I'd just rather not be the third wheel.
Well, it beats sitting around at home moping about that guy that used to live here.
For your information, I am so done with the moping.
Good.
Then come out with us tonight.
Have some fun for a change.
Come on, you know you wanna.
Oh my God.
You're kidding me.
Hey, guys.
You all right? Look at you.
What? You look amazing.
Got a date? No, just going to the movies with soraya And Chase.
And Chase? Yeah.
That sounds complicated.
It's not complicated.
Okay? There's no rule that says we can't just be friends.
You're right, there is no rule.
You know, after all this drama with Ty, I just wanna go out and have some fun for a change.
Well, I think that's a great idea.
Just don't get too taken by the thrill of the chase.
I'm butting out.
Just go have fun.
Careful, cautious fun.
Lou.
Butting out.
Butting out.
Aw, come on.
Wow You clean up pretty good.
Thanks.
Where's soraya? Oh, soraya can't make it, actually.
What happened? Something about studying for a test.
It looks like it's just the two of us.
Amy, wait up.
Chase, maybe we should do this another night, when soraya can come.
You know what your problem is? No, I don't know.
Why don't you tell me? You carry the weight of the world around with you.
You're always so serious all the time.
Would it kill you to have just a little bit of fun every now and then? You know what? I have lots of fun.
Okay, my whole life is non-stop fun.
Yeah right.
When was the last time you had actual fun that didn't involve working with a horse? That's what I thought.
So, come on, this is your chance to change that.
Let's go eat too much popcorn and put our feet up on the seats and annoy the people in front of us and We could even go see one of those vampire movies you girls like so much.
What do you say? Who the hell are you? Hey.
Look, I just I found these guys on the side of the road.
Whoa, wait, what're you doing? What do you think I'm doing? Look, they're in really rough shape, okay? I didn't know what else to do.
Could you Please, you don't have to call the cops.
Fine.
But you see this? It's pepper spray.
If you make one wrong move, I will use it.
Do you understand? Okay, fair enough.
Where did you learn to administer subcutaneous fluids? I used to work for a vet.
Look, I should probably get going.
Uh, no, you're not going anywhere.
You see this nasal discharge? It's a sure sign of infection.
These guys are gonna need antibiotics, and I'm gonna need another set of hands.
You're it.
Hi.
Hi.
Lisa, I feel terrible about what I said earlier.
Don't, it's fine.
I was upset and, you know, the truth is sometimes I forget the dude ranch is your business too.
I blame it on baby brain.
You can't imagine what it's like.
That came out wrong.
Look, Lou One point, yes, I thought I was gonna have kids when I was with Dan It just didn't happen.
And then after the divorce I thought, "you know what? I like my life just the way it is.
" And I still do.
I love it.
I don't have kids.
But I don't make any apologies for it.
Nor should you.
I'm the one who should apologize.
Lou, please don't.
So if these guys survive, what do you plan on doing with them? I don't know.
I hadn't really thought about it.
Well, they can't stay here.
I mean, it's a clinic, it's not an animal shelter.
Well, I don't know what you expect me to do.
I don't live around here, so.
Where did you say you were from? At least that's where I used to live.
And you're a student? Yeah.
Um well, no.
Not anymore.
I was planning on going to vet school, but I can't seem to get through the first year science, so Oh, excuse me.
Hi, Mrs.
Healey.
Yes, I'm sorry, I got stuck at the clinic.
What? Okay, look, I will be there as soon as I can.
I'm sorry.
Well, thanks to you, I have a very angry babysitter and a three year-old who somehow managed to lock himself inside the bathroom.
Sorry.
I hope I don't regret this.
I'm gonna make you a deal.
You don't have anywhere to stay, right? So, you might as well just spend the night here, looking after these guys.
And if they make it through the night, then I promise I will find homes for all three of them.
Sure.
Okay.
Um, remember to stay awake.
I'll stay awake.
These guys need milk every two hours, and this guy has to stay on fluids.
Okay.
Okay? I'll be back in the morning.
And I'll see how they're doing.
Um hey, thank you for trusting me and not calling the cops.
For all you knew, I could've been some psycho off the street, so Yes, it's a risk, but from what I understand, psychos don't usually rescue puppies from the side of the road.
Good night, Ty.
Good night.
Good luck.
There you go, buddy.
I had fun tonight.
Me too.
We always have fun though, don't we? Yeah.
You ever noticed when we're working, it doesn't even feel like work? You're right, it doesn't.
It's like I know exactly what you're thinking.
Chase What? I should go.
Then why aren't you leaving? We can't do this.
Do what? You're dating my best friend.
And if I wasn't? This was a bad idea.
Amy, we can't keep avoiding what's happening here.
You know what? I don't think we should work together anymore.
What about the police horses? We've got a lot of work to do.
Chase, you're fired.
You can't fire Chase Powers.
I quit! Hello? Amy.
Ty.
This a bad time? No.
I didn't know who else to call, so.
Is everything all right? Yeah.
Um I've just been having a bit of a weird night.
Me too.
Ty, what is going on? I screwed everything up.
What? School, our relationship, everything.
I I couldn't even keep a stupid puppy alive.
What are you talking about? What puppy? Ty, where are you? I shouldn't have called.
Uh No, wait.
Just tell me where you are and I'll come meet you.
No, you can't.
It's too far.
What do you mean? When're you coming back? Ty? You're not, are you? I think I need to start over.
I've made a lot of mistakes.
No, you always do this.
Whenever things get hard, you just run away.
You're the one who put my stuff in a box, like you wanted me to go away.
What was I supposed to do? I was just trying to move on.
I thought it would make things easier.
Did it work? No.
I gotta go.
Lou.
Honey, what're you doing? You know what it is? This says that we need eight barrel nuts, and we only have six.
So how am I supposed to finish the crib with six barrel nuts? Honey, why don't we go to the hardware store in the morning, okay? Come to bed, sweetheart.
I'm a horrible human being.
I said something to Lisa and now she hates me.
I'm sure you two will work it out.
You know, the thing is that she's right.
It makes perfect sense to hire soraya full-time next summer.
I just can't help feeling like I'm being declared surplus in my own business.
Well, I don't think Lisa would do that.
And you know, honey, um Lisa's not just your business partner.
All right? She's family.
And you never know when you might need to lean on family when things get tough.
Are things getting tough? Hmm? No.
No, no, no, it's No, that's not what I'm saying.
I just Um you never know what's gonna happen, right? And it's just good to know that Lisa's in our corner.
That's all.
Yeah.
Now come to bed.
Okay.
These two are doing really well.
You did a great job.
You know we can't save every animal that walks through that door.
Yeah, right.
The one you lost, he was the runt of the litter and there was really nothing you could've done.
I better get going.
Well, you guys be good, okay? Find 'em a good home.
Listen, Ty.
I'm looking for an assistant at the clinic.
The position wouldn't pay much, but it would be enough for you to get by.
And I know Nelson lake is a really small town, but there are worse places for you to call home.
U-um I don't know what to say.
Well, think about it and give me a call when you've decided.
You're looking for a fresh start, right? This could be it.
Thank you.
You bet.
Thank you.
See ya.
Where are you going, hey? Why? Why are you barking so loud, hey? Your coffee's getting cold.
Yeah, sorry.
I I'm just, you know, thinking about all the work that needs to be done before winter and So you haven't been standing here all morning waiting for Ty to come home? Is it that obvious? Mm-hmm.
I guess I woke up with a bad feeling.
You did what you could; What you thought was right, and now you just have to leave it up to him.
Yeah, I know.
I can't help thinking that I pushed him too hard.
I should've left well enough alone.
Hello, Dr.
Burton.
I'm good, thanks.
Um, I've made a decision about the job.
I told him that we wouldn't be working together anymore.
Soraya, I'm so sorry.
I I don't know what else to say.
Yeah, neither do I.
When Chase said you couldn't come to the movie, I should've just gone home.
What movie? When you were studying, last night.
Oh, soraya, I'm I never meant I didn't know that Soraya Hey.
Hi.
Um Lisa, Peter and I wanted to ask you something.
Okay.
Look, I know you and I haven't exactly seen eye to eye lately.
Lou, if this is about yesterday, honestly, I'm so over that.
It is about yesterday, but it's also It's about the future.
You've been so good to Lou and I, and we were saying, we wouldn't even have met if it wasn't for you.
Yeah, exactly.
And you've been a huge part of our life and we're hoping you'll also be a huge part of our child's life.
Well, of course I will.
Good.
Because Peter and I were hoping that you would be the godmother to our baby.
Really? Yeah.
Well, there is nothing that I would love more.
Thank you.
So, I hope you don't mind being the baby's favourite aunt.
Lisa is the perfect choice.
That kid is gonna be so spoiled.
I know.
So how are things going with the police horses? Terrible.
You were right about Chase.
I can't believe I thought it would be a good idea to work with him.
He's just a total jerk.
What happened? Well, I guess "thrill of the chase" got tiring.
Not only that, I got a really weird call from Ty last night.
Lou, he said he's moving away and he's not coming back.
What? I mean, I think it's all my fault.
Why'd I have to go and put his stuff in that box? It's just so stupid.
Amy, breathe.
It's going to be okay.
I don't think it is.
I just feel like everything is out of control.
You know that feeling you have right now? It's called growing up and it sucks.
I know.
But things just have a way of working themselves out.
I promise.
When? Maybe sooner than you think.
Now that you're the godmother, don't go thinking you have to spend gobs of money on baby gifts.
That is exactly what I'm going to do.
Come here, there's something you should see.
I guess whatever you said worked.
I can't remember the last time I felt so relieved.
How's Amy gonna deal with Ty moving back into the loft? Oh, they'll figure it out.
They always do.
Come here.
Jack said I could move back into the loft.
I thought you were leaving town.
I changed my mind.
Oh.
So how is this gonna work, you and I living on the same ranch? I don't know.
I mean, I could find another place in town, if it's easier.
No.
The loft's free.
Someone might as well use it.
So what's that guy's story? Ah Legend.
I'm supposed to be training him as a police horse, but Chase thinks he's too skittish.
Chase.
How's that going? I fired him.
You did? Well, if anyone can turn Legend into a police horse, you can, and you don't need Chase's help to do that.
This doesn't belong to me.
I know it looks scary.
Come on.
You're okay.
Good boy.
Good boy.
That's it.
So? You all settled in? Yeah, just keeping my end of the bargain.
I got my job back with Scott too.
Good.
Well, welcome back.
Hey, Jack? Next summer What do you say you and me, we do another road trip? This time though we can skip over the part where you leave me in the middle of nowhere.
You're on.
All right.
And that is it! We're done? Yes, we're done, and it's perfect.
You ready for this, Legend? You can do it.
You're a good boy.
You are deciphering me for I am a mystery Good boy.
Come on, you can do it.
Hey, hey, I'm right here.
We're gonna do this together.
Oh, can you feel the gravity falling calling us home oh, did you see the stars colliding shining just to show we belong oh, can you feel the gravity falling calling us home we belong
Yes, yes we are! I let Chase put a claim in on Dexter and Ty was right there.
Any reason I should worried about my boyfriend giving my best friend such expensive gifts? It wasn't a gift.
I was gonna do some clinics with him.
What're you doing? Amy and I called it quits.
Thanks for meeting with me, Amy.
No problem.
I've been selling horses to police departments for quite a while now.
I can't seem to keep up with the demand lately; that's where you come in.
Well, I'm glad I can help.
I need you to completely bomb proof these guys for me.
Make sure nothing can spook them.
You've come to the right place.
I've desensitized lots of horses.
This here is Legend Hey, bud.
Karma and Goliath.
They've spent most of their lives hauling plows in a Mennonite colony.
They're pretty sturdy, so don't go easy on 'em.
So you're dropping off all three? That was the plan.
I can take a couple back if you don't think you can handle 'em.
No, no, I can handle it.
I can totally handle it, no problem.
There is no way I can handle this.
What were you thinking? Well, I just thought if I turned him away, it would be unprofessional.
No, what's unprofessional is making promises you can't keep.
I mean maybe if Ty and Caleb here, but you're alone.
Alone.
Great.
Thanks for reminding me.
That is not what I meant.
You know, maybe this is an opportunity.
Sometimes you just have to challenge yourself; push your own boundaries.
What are you? A motivational speaker? You're scaring me.

Are you sure about this? I know how much you hate going into the city.
Are you kidding? What could be more fun than hanging out in a bookstore? Other than doing my taxes, or taking a long drive through the prairies Okay, I get it.
We really don't have to go.
No, no, no, I want to.
You're like a kid in a candy shop when you're buying books.
Pretty adorable.
Have I told you you're like the best boyfriend in the whole world? Yeah, I kind of am.
All right, you get that.
I'm gonna go grab my stuff.
Well, well, well, isn't this a surprise.
Uh No, I'm not busy today.
I'll be right over.
All right, I'm ready to go.
Um Hello? Is anybody home? Hey.
Hey.
Is Amy here? Or She sent me a text message, said I should come by the house, so Yeah.
Yeah, she left you something.
Did she say anything? Or No.
No, I'm sorry, Ty, she didn't.
Hey, Chase.
Thanks for coming.
I had a feeling we'd be working together again.
Well, I wouldn't have called, but I got a little in over my head.
No, don't worry.
We can totally handle this.
I brought some stuff to help us finish the job.
Yeah.
Looks like you brought your entire bag of tricks.
Well, there aren't exactly any riots in Hudson, so I figured we'd create a bit of our own urban chaos.
All right.
Hey! Can you grab these? Got it? Where should we set up? I was thinking maybe the back pens.
Sounds good.
Well, that wasn't very friendly, was it? Come on.
Let's get started.
And at the break of day you sank into your dream you dreamer oh, oh, oh you dreamer you dreamer Hello? Hey.
Uh The Hancock's mare had her foal this morning.
It was a difficult labour.
Could've used your help.
I forgot, Scott.
This is the third time in a row.
I know, I just, uh I've been busy.
You know, I turned down a lot of other students who applied for your job.
Well, maybe you'd be better off with one of them then.
What are you saying? I don't know what I'm saying.
I just, uh Things are sort of complicated right now, and, um Well, I'd sure hate to lose you, Ty, but I need somebody I can rely on.
So you better make up your mind.
All right, just a few more steps.
- Almost there - Okay You ready? I'm ready.
Ta da! Oh my God! What do you think? Wow, it's Oh my God, it's incredible.
You like it? Are you kidding? Lou, I I can't believe how much work you got done since I was here last.
Well, I had a lot of help.
I couldn't have done it without Lisa.
Well, thank you very much, Lisa.
We wanted to have the crib done by the time you got here, but it turned out to be a little trickier than we thought.
Guys wow, honey.
Listen, I would love to stay and help, honestly, I would, but I got a meeting at the bank.
No, go.
I justI couldn't wait to show you.
See you tonight, okay? Okay.
Okay.
Lisa, thank you, again, so much.
Hey, don't mention it.
Bye.
You know what? It came together beautifully.
I feel kind of bad about how much money it cost.
Don't think about it.
It's worth every penny.
Just think about how much time you're gonna be spending in here, especially during mat leave.
Mat leave? I'm not taking mat leave.
No? No.
Oh, I just assumed that you would be taking a year off from the dude ranch after the baby was born.
I might take a few weeks off, but I won't need a whole year.
Does that mean you're getting a nanny? No, I don't think so.
Lou, I mean, between Heartland and the dude ranch, it's, it's more than a full-time job.
Which I will be perfectly capable of doing after the baby's born.
Okay.
Okay.
Now, uh, hand me that screwdriver.
Oh, Jack! Sorry about that.
Scott.
What's the rush? I'm late for a call.
I just can't seem to keep up.
Well, at least business is good.
Yeah, sure is.
Ty sure picked a hell of a day not to show up though.
Oh.
Doesn't sound like Ty.
Yeah.
Normally, I'd agree with you on that, but lately I don't know what's going on with that guy.
He was talking about quitting.
Really? Well, I'm sorry to hear that.
Yeah, me too.
Talk to you later.
Yeah.
Hey, Jack.
Um, I probably shouldn't say anything, but Work is not the only thing Tyâs been skipping out on.
I haven't seen him at school for the last few weeks.
Are you sure 'bout that? Pretty big campus isn't it? Well, it's not that big.
You know, desensitizing police horses ainât exactly horse whispering.
Yeah, I know.
Things might get a little crazy.
A few balls and a tarp is hardly what I'd call crazy.
Well, wait 'til we walk those horses between these two oil drums.
That doesn't sound very challenging.
I'm not done yet.
When we're done with all this, we're gonna walk those horses through fire.
Are you serious? Yeah, we gotta prepare 'em for anything: Riots, protests, natural disasters - you name it.
And if they can't handle a little bit of fire, they got no business being police horses.
Oh, you're not flaming out on me are you? No way.
Why are you hanging Scott out to dry? It's good to see you too, Jack.
And Soraya seems to think you're not going to school either.
I just need some time off.
Well, how much time? I don't know.
A few weeks.
What about your classes? I don't know, okay? I just need some time to figure some stuff out.
Well, what kind of stuff? Like maybe this whole vet thing was a bad idea.
Maybe I don't wanna be here anymore.
What? You're just gonna move away? Maybe.
Uh I'm gonna stay here 'til Caleb and Ashley get back from their honeymoon, and then, um And then, I don't know.
I just need some time to think.
Yeah, well, you better think fast With all due respect, Jack, the day I moved out of that loft, my life became none of your damn business.
All right.
Come on, through the curtains here.
Good job, Karma.
Alrighty.
There you go.
All right.
Come on, Legend.
It's okay, it's okay.
It's all right.
Legend, come on, let's go.
Come on, Amy, you gotta push him harder than that.
Well, I'm not gonna force him, all right? These things take time.
These other two horses went through the curtains just fine.
That guy's way too much of a squirrel.
Chase, I can get him to go through, all right? So just relax.
I am relaxed.
But you're the one with the reputation on the line, not me.
Jack? Well, come on, get your stuff.
You and me, we're going on a road trip.
- A road trip? - Yeah.
You're joking, right? Does it look like I'm joking? Where'd you get the bike? I borrowed it.
Now, come on, get your stuff.
No, I'm not going anywhere.
What do you want from me, Jack? I wanna know what happened to the guy who used to live up in my loft? Amy and I broke up and we're not getting back together.
Yeah, well, we're not talking about Amy here; we're talking about you.
Well, I don't wanna talk about me, so maybe you should just go.
Oh! Aw, I've got all day.
If we're not gonna go on our little road trip, well, I'll just hang out here with you.
Hey, you got any food? I am starving.
Maybe you could whip us up a couple of grilled cheese; that'd be good.
Put on some music.
Hey, do you think Caleb's got any Dolly Parton? I love Dolly.
I could listen to her all day.
Fine.
Let's go.
Come on.
So it looks like we have three couples checking in, and the Davidson's are bringing their grandson - Again.
- Uh huh.
The one who's allergic to everything.
Okay.
So no nuts or dairy for breakfast.
- Yes.
- And - A hypoallergenic pillow.
- Of course.
Cabin three.
Um, you know, there's one more thing.
I was thinking a lot about our discussion yesterday about me running the dude ranch after I have the baby.
And I want you to know that I'm gonna make it work, so you don't have to worry.
Mm-hm.
I had an idea.
Why don't we bring Soraya in full-time next summer and then you just have more flexibility with your days.
Right, but I don't see how we can afford Soraya full-time.
I mean, we can hardly afford her part-time as it is, right? Frankly, I don't know how we can afford not to.
Okay, just because I'm having a baby doesn't mean I'm suddenly useless.
Look, your life is changing in a huge way, and you kinda need to accept that you can't do everything on your own.
How do you know what my life is going to be like? I don't even know what my life is going to be like yet.
I mean, maybe if you had kids of your own, but you don't.
Right, so How could I possibly know what I'm talking about.
Lisa, that's not Lisa That is not what I meant.
That's all right.
Let's talk about it later.
Legend, come on, let's go.
Hey.
Come on, Amy, he's a lost cause.
Matthew hired me to train three horses, not two.
No, Matthew hired you to turn to these plow horses into police horses, and if that guy's not up to the task, then there's no sense wasting his money training a dud.
So what am I supposed to do, give up on him? Some horses just aren't meant to be police horses.
It's simple as that.
Maybe you're right.
'Course I'm right.
Now why don't we put him in the barn and concentrate on the other two.
Okay.
Come on, bud.
Whoa, whoa! Easy, easy, easy All right.
Well, these two are doing real good.
I think we should take 'em for a walk by the highway tomorrow.
Get them used to being around traffic.
All right.
Sounds good.
What do you say, boss, we all done for the day? Yeah, I think these guys have had enough.
Why are we stopping? Well, it's the end of the road, or maybe the beginning.
Depends on how you look at it.
Oh, that's deep, Jack.
Just hush up and listen.
I brought you out here to make you an offer.
What kind of offer? An offer that's gonna change your life, whether you take it or not.
Oh, this should be good.
I'm offering you the chance to move back into the loft.
You brought me all the way out here to ask if I wanted to move back into the loft? I'm not finished yet.
There'd two conditions.
One, you get back on track at school, and two, you work for Scott.
Wow, that's tempting, Jack, especially with those conditions attached, but I'm gonna have to pass.
Well, if you're not coming back to the loft, then do me a favour: Shove off.
Take that road to the highway, see where you end up.
Maybe the grass'll be greener, maybe it won't.
Maybe it'll just be hell, but at least you'll be moving on.
Why would I do that? Because I just spent the last three years watching you get your life together.
I'm not about to watch you throw it all away.
I can't, and I won't.
You got overnight to think about it.
If you don't show up at the ranch by tomorrow morning, don't show up at all.
So, uh Hey, listen.
Soraya and I, we're going to a movie later.
You want to come with us? Uh No, thank you though.
Why? You got other plans? I'd just rather not be the third wheel.
Well, it beats sitting around at home moping about that guy that used to live here.
For your information, I am so done with the moping.
Good.
Then come out with us tonight.
Have some fun for a change.
Come on, you know you wanna.
Oh my God.
You're kidding me.
Hey, guys.
You all right? Look at you.
What? You look amazing.
Got a date? No, just going to the movies with soraya And Chase.
And Chase? Yeah.
That sounds complicated.
It's not complicated.
Okay? There's no rule that says we can't just be friends.
You're right, there is no rule.
You know, after all this drama with Ty, I just wanna go out and have some fun for a change.
Well, I think that's a great idea.
Just don't get too taken by the thrill of the chase.
I'm butting out.
Just go have fun.
Careful, cautious fun.
Lou.
Butting out.
Butting out.
Aw, come on.
Wow You clean up pretty good.
Thanks.
Where's soraya? Oh, soraya can't make it, actually.
What happened? Something about studying for a test.
It looks like it's just the two of us.
Amy, wait up.
Chase, maybe we should do this another night, when soraya can come.
You know what your problem is? No, I don't know.
Why don't you tell me? You carry the weight of the world around with you.
You're always so serious all the time.
Would it kill you to have just a little bit of fun every now and then? You know what? I have lots of fun.
Okay, my whole life is non-stop fun.
Yeah right.
When was the last time you had actual fun that didn't involve working with a horse? That's what I thought.
So, come on, this is your chance to change that.
Let's go eat too much popcorn and put our feet up on the seats and annoy the people in front of us and We could even go see one of those vampire movies you girls like so much.
What do you say? Who the hell are you? Hey.
Look, I just I found these guys on the side of the road.
Whoa, wait, what're you doing? What do you think I'm doing? Look, they're in really rough shape, okay? I didn't know what else to do.
Could you Please, you don't have to call the cops.
Fine.
But you see this? It's pepper spray.
If you make one wrong move, I will use it.
Do you understand? Okay, fair enough.
Where did you learn to administer subcutaneous fluids? I used to work for a vet.
Look, I should probably get going.
Uh, no, you're not going anywhere.
You see this nasal discharge? It's a sure sign of infection.
These guys are gonna need antibiotics, and I'm gonna need another set of hands.
You're it.
Hi.
Hi.
Lisa, I feel terrible about what I said earlier.
Don't, it's fine.
I was upset and, you know, the truth is sometimes I forget the dude ranch is your business too.
I blame it on baby brain.
You can't imagine what it's like.
That came out wrong.
Look, Lou One point, yes, I thought I was gonna have kids when I was with Dan It just didn't happen.
And then after the divorce I thought, "you know what? I like my life just the way it is.
" And I still do.
I love it.
I don't have kids.
But I don't make any apologies for it.
Nor should you.
I'm the one who should apologize.
Lou, please don't.
So if these guys survive, what do you plan on doing with them? I don't know.
I hadn't really thought about it.
Well, they can't stay here.
I mean, it's a clinic, it's not an animal shelter.
Well, I don't know what you expect me to do.
I don't live around here, so.
Where did you say you were from? At least that's where I used to live.
And you're a student? Yeah.
Um well, no.
Not anymore.
I was planning on going to vet school, but I can't seem to get through the first year science, so Oh, excuse me.
Hi, Mrs.
Healey.
Yes, I'm sorry, I got stuck at the clinic.
What? Okay, look, I will be there as soon as I can.
I'm sorry.
Well, thanks to you, I have a very angry babysitter and a three year-old who somehow managed to lock himself inside the bathroom.
Sorry.
I hope I don't regret this.
I'm gonna make you a deal.
You don't have anywhere to stay, right? So, you might as well just spend the night here, looking after these guys.
And if they make it through the night, then I promise I will find homes for all three of them.
Sure.
Okay.
Um, remember to stay awake.
I'll stay awake.
These guys need milk every two hours, and this guy has to stay on fluids.
Okay.
Okay? I'll be back in the morning.
And I'll see how they're doing.
Um hey, thank you for trusting me and not calling the cops.
For all you knew, I could've been some psycho off the street, so Yes, it's a risk, but from what I understand, psychos don't usually rescue puppies from the side of the road.
Good night, Ty.
Good night.
Good luck.
There you go, buddy.
I had fun tonight.
Me too.
We always have fun though, don't we? Yeah.
You ever noticed when we're working, it doesn't even feel like work? You're right, it doesn't.
It's like I know exactly what you're thinking.
Chase What? I should go.
Then why aren't you leaving? We can't do this.
Do what? You're dating my best friend.
And if I wasn't? This was a bad idea.
Amy, we can't keep avoiding what's happening here.
You know what? I don't think we should work together anymore.
What about the police horses? We've got a lot of work to do.
Chase, you're fired.
You can't fire Chase Powers.
I quit! Hello? Amy.
Ty.
This a bad time? No.
I didn't know who else to call, so.
Is everything all right? Yeah.
Um I've just been having a bit of a weird night.
Me too.
Ty, what is going on? I screwed everything up.
What? School, our relationship, everything.
I I couldn't even keep a stupid puppy alive.
What are you talking about? What puppy? Ty, where are you? I shouldn't have called.
Uh No, wait.
Just tell me where you are and I'll come meet you.
No, you can't.
It's too far.
What do you mean? When're you coming back? Ty? You're not, are you? I think I need to start over.
I've made a lot of mistakes.
No, you always do this.
Whenever things get hard, you just run away.
You're the one who put my stuff in a box, like you wanted me to go away.
What was I supposed to do? I was just trying to move on.
I thought it would make things easier.
Did it work? No.
I gotta go.
Lou.
Honey, what're you doing? You know what it is? This says that we need eight barrel nuts, and we only have six.
So how am I supposed to finish the crib with six barrel nuts? Honey, why don't we go to the hardware store in the morning, okay? Come to bed, sweetheart.
I'm a horrible human being.
I said something to Lisa and now she hates me.
I'm sure you two will work it out.
You know, the thing is that she's right.
It makes perfect sense to hire soraya full-time next summer.
I just can't help feeling like I'm being declared surplus in my own business.
Well, I don't think Lisa would do that.
And you know, honey, um Lisa's not just your business partner.
All right? She's family.
And you never know when you might need to lean on family when things get tough.
Are things getting tough? Hmm? No.
No, no, no, it's No, that's not what I'm saying.
I just Um you never know what's gonna happen, right? And it's just good to know that Lisa's in our corner.
That's all.
Yeah.
Now come to bed.
Okay.
These two are doing really well.
You did a great job.
You know we can't save every animal that walks through that door.
Yeah, right.
The one you lost, he was the runt of the litter and there was really nothing you could've done.
I better get going.
Well, you guys be good, okay? Find 'em a good home.
Listen, Ty.
I'm looking for an assistant at the clinic.
The position wouldn't pay much, but it would be enough for you to get by.
And I know Nelson lake is a really small town, but there are worse places for you to call home.
U-um I don't know what to say.
Well, think about it and give me a call when you've decided.
You're looking for a fresh start, right? This could be it.
Thank you.
You bet.
Thank you.
See ya.
Where are you going, hey? Why? Why are you barking so loud, hey? Your coffee's getting cold.
Yeah, sorry.
I I'm just, you know, thinking about all the work that needs to be done before winter and So you haven't been standing here all morning waiting for Ty to come home? Is it that obvious? Mm-hmm.
I guess I woke up with a bad feeling.
You did what you could; What you thought was right, and now you just have to leave it up to him.
Yeah, I know.
I can't help thinking that I pushed him too hard.
I should've left well enough alone.
Hello, Dr.
Burton.
I'm good, thanks.
Um, I've made a decision about the job.
I told him that we wouldn't be working together anymore.
Soraya, I'm so sorry.
I I don't know what else to say.
Yeah, neither do I.
When Chase said you couldn't come to the movie, I should've just gone home.
What movie? When you were studying, last night.
Oh, soraya, I'm I never meant I didn't know that Soraya Hey.
Hi.
Um Lisa, Peter and I wanted to ask you something.
Okay.
Look, I know you and I haven't exactly seen eye to eye lately.
Lou, if this is about yesterday, honestly, I'm so over that.
It is about yesterday, but it's also It's about the future.
You've been so good to Lou and I, and we were saying, we wouldn't even have met if it wasn't for you.
Yeah, exactly.
And you've been a huge part of our life and we're hoping you'll also be a huge part of our child's life.
Well, of course I will.
Good.
Because Peter and I were hoping that you would be the godmother to our baby.
Really? Yeah.
Well, there is nothing that I would love more.
Thank you.
So, I hope you don't mind being the baby's favourite aunt.
Lisa is the perfect choice.
That kid is gonna be so spoiled.
I know.
So how are things going with the police horses? Terrible.
You were right about Chase.
I can't believe I thought it would be a good idea to work with him.
He's just a total jerk.
What happened? Well, I guess "thrill of the chase" got tiring.
Not only that, I got a really weird call from Ty last night.
Lou, he said he's moving away and he's not coming back.
What? I mean, I think it's all my fault.
Why'd I have to go and put his stuff in that box? It's just so stupid.
Amy, breathe.
It's going to be okay.
I don't think it is.
I just feel like everything is out of control.
You know that feeling you have right now? It's called growing up and it sucks.
I know.
But things just have a way of working themselves out.
I promise.
When? Maybe sooner than you think.
Now that you're the godmother, don't go thinking you have to spend gobs of money on baby gifts.
That is exactly what I'm going to do.
Come here, there's something you should see.
I guess whatever you said worked.
I can't remember the last time I felt so relieved.
How's Amy gonna deal with Ty moving back into the loft? Oh, they'll figure it out.
They always do.
Come here.
Jack said I could move back into the loft.
I thought you were leaving town.
I changed my mind.
Oh.
So how is this gonna work, you and I living on the same ranch? I don't know.
I mean, I could find another place in town, if it's easier.
No.
The loft's free.
Someone might as well use it.
So what's that guy's story? Ah Legend.
I'm supposed to be training him as a police horse, but Chase thinks he's too skittish.
Chase.
How's that going? I fired him.
You did? Well, if anyone can turn Legend into a police horse, you can, and you don't need Chase's help to do that.
This doesn't belong to me.
I know it looks scary.
Come on.
You're okay.
Good boy.
Good boy.
That's it.
So? You all settled in? Yeah, just keeping my end of the bargain.
I got my job back with Scott too.
Good.
Well, welcome back.
Hey, Jack? Next summer What do you say you and me, we do another road trip? This time though we can skip over the part where you leave me in the middle of nowhere.
You're on.
All right.
And that is it! We're done? Yes, we're done, and it's perfect.
You ready for this, Legend? You can do it.
You're a good boy.
You are deciphering me for I am a mystery Good boy.
Come on, you can do it.
Hey, hey, I'm right here.
We're gonna do this together.
Oh, can you feel the gravity falling calling us home oh, did you see the stars colliding shining just to show we belong oh, can you feel the gravity falling calling us home we belong
