Heartland (CA) s09e12 Episode Script

The Real Deal

Previuosly on "Heartland" (Hard landing thud) Jade: (Pained grunt) - Ow! It really hurts! - Jack: You're gonna be okay.
There you are, you slippery sucker! (Branch snaps) (Hard thump) When we were in Vancouver at Dad's condo, we met his new girlfriend.
You know she's a younger, prettier, more stylish me.
She's Lou 2.
0.
You need to move on, Lou.
So what, you think I should start dating again? Actually, yeah.
(Steers moo) (Tack jingles) (Steer bellows) I'm still mad at you.
(Steer bellows, huffs) (Hooves pat) (Rope whooshes) (Stirrup clinks) (Gate unlatches, horse whinnies) (Hooves thud) (Effort Grunts) (Hooves thunder and stomp) (Horse whinnies and snorts) Wow! It's like she never even broke her ankle.
(Tack jingles, horse whinnies) (Effort Grunts) She's coming along, huh.
(Horse snorts) (Tim laughs) Not too bad, huh? You don't see that everyday, a female bronc rider.
Especially one that rides like you.
Great job.
You know what, I think it's time to find you a sponsor.
Okay.
I mean, I know I've done all right in a couple of rodeos, but seriously? C'mon, Tim.
I haven't even been repped since Longview beef jerky.
I don't think you can consider someone who pays you in dehydrated beef a sponsor.
Anyway I got somebody in mind.
It's a guy I used to rodeo with.
His name is Turner Keith.
And he owns Tracker Western Wear.
Really? Does he know who I am? No.
But I've invited him to come see you after practice.
So we're gonna show him what you got.
What do you think? - Okay.
- Okay.
I think this is realistic.
Really, Lou.
(Door shuts) Hey! - Where's Jack? - He's out with the herd, why? (huffs) I've been calling him all morning, and he's not answering his phone.
It's driving me crazy.
Well, is everything all right? Yeah.
We're just, we're trying to book a ranch in Arizona for the winter, and we're about to miss out on a killer deal.
(Both groan sympathetically) - Ooh, a wish list? - Yeah.
- What's that for? Oh, this is just everything that Lou could ever possibly want in a guy she might potentially date.
That's quite a start.
It's just some criteria to help me think through what I'm looking for.
Let's see what we got here.
Tall, 5'10 to 6'1.
Obviously.
Good looking, family focused, likes kids, fit Come on, Lou, like really if anyone is gonna stack up to all of this.
Can't wait till you find Mr.
Perfect? Ah, what about online Lisa, what is it with you and internet dating? You're the one who pushed me to email Peter before I even met him.
Yes, and that worked, didn't it? You married him.
That's not the point.
Well, you know what, sites have come a long way since then.
I've had a number of friends have real success.
Really? More than just wish list; matches with real guys.
So (Amy clears her throat) - Hey, sweetie.
- Hey.
- What? - Nothing Oh, no.
We're just working on some dude ranch stuff.
Okay, you and I need to go exercise Trouble and Phoenix.
If you don't mind helping me with some of the other horses I'm just getting behind.
Yeah sure.
- Bye.
- See ya.
Oops.
(Door opens and slams shut) - Amy.
- Hey, Cassandra.
Hey.
Sorry for just dropping by.
I'm running low on deworming paste at the clinic.
Ty said he had some extra stock? Yeah, I'm sure there is some in the barn office.
- Thanks.
- Yeah.
How's it going with Ty and Scott away at that conference? Clinic can seems a little empty.
I know the feeling.
Easy, Trouble.
Come on, Phoenix.
Come on, get up.
Hey, that's pretty cool.
Yeah, they've really got that part down.
If only we could just get this new element worked out.
We're trying to add a bit of a wow factor to the jump, but Trouble can't stick the landing.
- Trouble? - He's the horse on her right.
It's almost like he's afraid of the water or something.
Cass: Do his front legs look a little stiff? (Nervous snorting) (Water splashes) (Whinnies) - Oof! Agh! - Oh my God! - Amy: Are you okay? - Yeah.
Hey, boys.
I'm fine.
Trouble still isn't getting it, though.
Because he's hurt.
From what I can see, Trouble's in a lot of pain.
S09E12 The Real Deal And at the break of day you sank into your dream You dreamer Oh, oh, oh, oh You dreamer You dreamer How much has he been training? I guess we've stepped it up a bit lately.
Well, I don't see any signs of an injury, but I'm sure with the added workload has caused some wear and tear.
(Pained snort and whinny) Whoa! Why's he doing that? I'm pressing key trigger points.
Seems pretty sore in his back muscles.
Which makes sense with the roman riding and trying to land those jumps.
Well, do we have to stop? Well, I think he could use some rest, but we can do other things to help.
Like anti-inflammatories? Yeah.
Maybe some acupuncture.
Well, I'm not sticking needles in him? It's okay, Georgie, Cassandra knows what she's doing.
Ty told me you did acupuncture with some dogs, and I'm totally open to it, if you think it'll help.
Well, can't hurt to try.
Oh, you convinced her to sign up, did you? Yeah And she's turned this profile into a full on biography.
How am I supposed to find a good match if they don't know who I am? Do you think they're gonna reads this? It's all about the picture, come on.
- Well, I've already chosen one.
- Oh! - (Disappointed) Oh.
- Really? - What? - Well, it's just a bit Conservative I mean, you're not applying for an office job, honey.
Yeah.
Maybe you should chose one with like a little more um Personality! Why don't you show how fun you are.
- This is very buttoned up.
- Oh, I get it.
So by "fun" you mean show some cleavage.
I didn't mean that, of course that couldn't hurt.
I want someone looking for more substance then that.
Well, it's hard to find what someone's about if you can't get past the picture enough to wanna ask them out.
(Lou grunts, they chuckle) (Door opens then shuts) Look who it is! Why have you not been answering my phone calls? Yeah.
I wondered if it rang a couple times.
- A couple? - But, then it would quit Doesn't matter, it's dead now any way.
The battery isn't lasting too long these days.
You can buy a new one.
No.
You know how expensive they are? Not as expensive as missing out on a great deal on a winter ranch because I couldn't get you on the line to ask you about dates.
I'm sorry.
Okay, I-I'll get a new battery.
(Truck rumbles to a halt, honks) Tim: Hey, Turner.
Hey, big man.
How are you? Good.
Good.
How you doin'? - I'm great.
- Excellent.
I haven't seen you in a while.
No, I gotta say I was surprised to hear from you after so many years.
Oh, I'm not so good at keeping up and stuff.
But hey, you've done well.
- Uh, not too bad.
- Yeah.
So this the one you got in mind for me? No.
No, no, no I'd like you to meet Jade Virani.
Jade is the best Well, probably the only female bronc rider on the circuit.
- Really? You ride broncs? - Yes sir.
Yeah, she is tearing up the amateurs right now, and I thought you might wanna scoop her up before she goes pro.
Oh, sorry, but to look at you, I gotta say, I just don't see bronc rider Let me show you what I can do.
Naw, that's okay I'm sold already.
- Tim: Yeah? - Yeah.
Boom! Like that.
See I told you! A girl who can actually rodeo that sends a positive message to other young women.
Yeah and you gotta see her ride? Do you wanna see her ride? Later.
I'll come by tomorrow work out all the details, okay? Okay.
Oh and hey, great.
You have the makings of a real star, young lady.
- Good to see you, bud.
- You too, man.
Who's welcome? - Me! I am! - You're welcome? Mr.
Keith, pretty good decision back there going with Jade.
Could work out well.
Might work out even better if you were to bring on a second rodeo champ.
Yeah? Got someone else in mind? Well, I don't know.
Maybe someone who's done it all Broncs, bulls, roping You can stop selling, Caleb.
I'm well aware of your pedigree.
Thought Tim brought me out here to push you.
But he's right.
Jade's more unique.
Yeah I've seen your ads.
Typically they feature a cowgirl and a cowboy.
Can't help to think that me and Jade both might make a pretty good fit for tracker.
(sighs) Let me noodle on it, okay? All right.
Do you like his facial hair? That's kind of, I don't know, But it's a little bit Wow are those all your matches? Yeah.
I took forever to enter them onto the spreadsheet.
Into a spreadsheet? Yeah.
I've rated each guy against my wish list.
And they had to measure out And surprisingly not one single guy has measured up.
(Chucking) Okay.
How about that guy? Well, I mean, he's in the right height range, we have some mutual interests, you know, he keeps his facial hair in check, but he rides a motorcycle so too reckless.
Hm-hm.
Definitely.
Okay.
How about that one? Lisa: See this guy is really well rounded He's into literature, and cooking and athletic.
And look, plays the cello.
- Exactly.
- Exactly what? Either he's lying, trying to pretend he's some renaissance man or he actually plays the cello.
- I'm going crazy - Okay.
Really, Lou? I think you need to tone down your expectations? Grandpa, do you hear this? I shouldn't have to settle, right? No No, you shouldn't.
Thank you.
But I suppose it's possible that maybe you setting the bar so high might be your way of avoiding an actual date? Just sayin'.
- Fine.
I'll pick one.
- Okay.
(Exhales) I guess he seems okay.
- Lisa: And handsome.
- Amy: "Strong family values".
His favorite band is Nickelback.
- Both: Lou! - Okay, okay.
(Phone chimes) Hey Ty.
Yeah.
Well, I'm all ready for our skype date.
(Sighs) Oh no.
That's okay.
Yeah.
You go to your cocktail reception thingy.
That's fine.
We can just We'll skype tomorrow night.
Okay.
I love you.
Bye.
(Sighs) (Shuts computer) (Sighs) Hey, um, are you expecting Jade? No.
Why? I thought I just saw her car pull in.
No.
Hey I was just driving by and had to tell you the news Guess who just landed her first big sponsorship? No way.
That's awesome! Yeah.
Tim set it up with tracker western wear.
- That's so cool.
- I know, right? - Yeah.
Congrats.
- Thank you.
Well that's all! So Good night.
Wait.
Seriously? That's all you came over here to tell us? Yeah Well Oh, and don't worry I won't forget you guys when I'm all famous n' stuff.
Good night.
(Heavy sigh) What? I don't know It's just Jade just started as a bronc rider, I hope my dad is not putting too much pressure on her.
But isn't a sponsor a good thing? Yeah, but it also brings on a lot of expectations.
I don't know, I just hope Jade is ready for it.
(Flames crackle) I don't know how I feel about all this online dating crap.
Well, you remember the time Mallory signed you up to find your perfect match? And the first person that came up was me.
That was kinda bang on, wasn't it? I just don't know what happened to meeting someone under normal circumstances? The way people used to.
Singles bars? I was thinking more along the lines of oh, I don't know, a nice barbecue.
Like one I remember.
(Lisa chuckles, glasses clink) Hey, speaking of old timey notions, have you found a battery for that archaic flip phone of yours? Uh, no But No, no buts.
You're getting a new one But, actually actually turns out they don't make that battery anymore.
Of course they don't.
Well, I tried.
Lou: I wanna be completely honest and upfront with you.
Okay Um, I get that there have been lots of changes lately and I don't want to add to all that.
This really isn't a big deal.
But I get that you may have mixed emotions about it so Can you just spit it out? I've decided to start dating again.
No one in particular, just kind of putting myself back out there.
Wait, so that's all this is about? You're okay with this? Well, Peter already has a girlfriend so Yeah, and I know that that was shocking for you to come face to face with that with her.
And I just don't want you to go through that all over again.
So I'm gonna keep you in the loop every step of the way.
Uh Okay.
Sure.
Okay.
(Kiss) (Door clicks shut) (Sighs) Hey there.
- Hi, Lisa.
- Hi.
Oh, look at you.
Are you all excited for your big date? Hmm.
Terrified is more like it.
Oh, come on now, relax and enjoy yourself.
You have back-up matches, don't you? She even got more this morning when she logged in Some that were even spreadsheet-worthy.
I would not go that far.
Hello you.
I have a present for you.
- You do? - Yes, I do.
- Hmm.
- It's a new smart phone.
C'mon no, Lis, you know I like the one I've got.
Yeah.
I don't.
Actually this one works.
Well I like the holster.
Okay.
C'mon, this has some very cool functions and great apps.
And it's more than just a phone, it's like a whole lifestyle.
Enjoy your new lifestyle, grampa.
(Sighs) You wanna sign Caleb? You don't have to sound so surprised.
I thought you wanted to sign Jade? No, I am.
I just think these two would work well together.
Sort of a beauty and the beast kinda thing.
- Hmm.
- I'm really excited about this.
I'm already setting up a photo shoot.
And if it goes well I might consider doing a TV spot.
- Tv? - That would be really cool.
Yeah.
First things first.
I need you both to sign off on these contracts.
That sir is not a problem.
I'm gonna read that that.
Well, suit yourself.
But I wanted to get the photo shoot done in a couple of days so chop chop.
Well, you haven't even seen her ride yet.
I mean, I brought stock and everything today.
But I gotta start lining things up.
Besides, I've had my ear to the ground.
And the word is, she's great! All right.
(Trouble snorts) Georgie: It's okay, Trouble.
He's fine, Georgie.
Horses actually enjoy this.
It causes a real endorphin release.
(Harley snorts uneasily) What's with him? Oh, that's Ty's horse, Harley.
He's been a little bit more restless than usual.
Maybe he could use some acupuncture.
(Chuckles) Well, all he needs is some exercise.
Everybody's been so busy lately we haven't got the horses out enough.
(Trouble snorts) Look at that.
He's seems pretty relaxed.
Told you.
They love this.
So Nickelback.
Really? On your profile? (Chuckles) And yet you still messaged me.
Oh, well, let's just say your "strong family values" made up for it.
Funny, that was actually the biggest issue between my ex and me.
Oh? How so? I guess I thought we were both on the same page.
Once kids came along that Well, let's just say she spent a lot of time at the office.
Oh, yeah.
It's tough to strike a healthy work-home balance, isn't it? Yeah, but work didn't have to be part of the equation for her.
I mean, I made more than enough money for both of us.
So you wanted her to stay home? I know it sounds old fashioned, but when you start a family I just think someone needs to be there as a constant.
Hmm.
And by "someone" you mean the woman? Whoever earns less money.
Just makes sense.
Not really.
Since women still aren't paid on par with men.
Yeah, but that's just because woman aren't as, you know, career-focused as men are.
That's not true! We just have to "focus" on doing our jobs and most of the work at home.
You know what, I actually can't believe we're sitting here debating gender roles I think I'm gonna get out of here.
But we just got here.
I mean, what time is it? Oh, I don't now, I'd say about half past 1965.
(Hay rustles) Hey Tim, what's the hold up with my contract? Just Come here.
Jade: (Exasperated sigh) (Contract rustles) I read it over, you're not signing this.
What are you talking about? Turner's trying to pull a fast one on you.
He's trying to control what rodeos you ride in.
Why would he want to do that? Because he wants you to win the second rate rodeos, but he's not gonna let you get anywhere near the tougher horses or any real competition.
But that doesn't make sense.
All the people are at the big rodeos.
- Why wouldn't he want me there? - Well, he does want you there, but he wants you there on a promotion capacity.
You're gonna be standing by a booth hawking his good.
You're never gonna ride, Jade, You're gonna be a glorified spokes-model.
We're walking away from this.
- We? - "We" I'm your coach, I got you this far.
No.
The photo shoot's tomorrow.
I could be on magazine covers, billboards, and maybe even on tv Why would I walk away from this? I mean, it was your idea to get a sponsor in the first place.
Yeah.
It was-it was my idea.
That's right.
But you need the right sponsor.
And I gonna help you find it.
Do you think he cares about your career? He doesn't even wanna watch you ride.
I'm eighteen now I don't need you or anyone else to signing off on this.
Hey, Ty.
Looks like I missed you again.
Just give me a call when you get this.
I hope everything is going well.
Love you.
Seems like they're pretty busy at that conference, huh? Seems like.
Yeah.
You're all done with Trouble? Yeah, he responded really well.
Completely pain-free.
- Good.
That's amazing.
- Yeah.
So, can we start training again? Well, I would start with some light exercise, see how he feels.
And then we'll go from there.
Okay.
Well, thank you.
Yeah, no problem.
He was a great patient.
Uh, you know, I have a few field calls to do around here tomorrow.
Maybe I could drop by for tea or something? Yeah, uh yeah, sure.
I'll be around.
Okay.
Cool.
I'll see you then.
Okay.
Cool.
(Phone rings) Oh look, how it is.
Your GG is using his new phone.
So you figured out how to use it, eh? Jack? Hello? (Hay rustles, Jack grunts) Jack? Jack! (Sighs) (Beeps off phone) Hmm.
All right.
(Phone rings) (Chuckles) Hello? Jack! Jack!!! Oh no! (Beeps phone off) What's going on? Oh, I think Jack is "butt dialing" me.
- Butt dialing? - Oh no! (All laugh) Oops.
- Oh Hi! - Hey guys Oh! Hey, uh, now that you're finished this, why don't you go get the other one with the fuzzy bear on it, we'll start that one? How about that? - Katie: Okay.
- Okay.
How was it? (Sighs) Okay.
That bad? I don't even know where to start.
Um, I think I'm gonna go help Katie find that puzzle.
All right.
Well, it's the first match.
You can't let one bad apple spoil the whole barrel.
Oh my God.
That's what this is like, isn't it? It's like shopping for produce online.
(Chuckle) No, it's more like finding a perfect home.
You can't expect the first time out you're gonna find the right one so Come on, Amy said that there were other matches.
Let's look at them.
Come on.
(Grunts) Fine Jack: Nice timing.
Yeah, well, I had business with Jade.
Yeah, I noticed.
What was that all about? - Oh, I screwed up.
- No? You? I'm trying to help her get a sponsorship deal with this clothing company.
I don't think the guy that owns it cares what she can do on a bronc.
He just sees another pretty face.
Well, you could've seen that coming.
Yeah.
Well, now she won't listen to me.
She thinks he's gonna make her a big star.
I don't know, I don't think I get through to her? - Well, I doubt you can - Great.
Thanks.
Oh, no, I'm not saying that she can't be turned around on this, but I just don't think you're the guy to do it.
Should be someone a little closer in age.
A talented and attractive young woman who's also had to deal with sponsors trying to capitalize on that.
Amy.
(Approaching footsteps) - (Knock) Hey - Hey I was kind of surprised to get your call.
Yeah.
This sponsorship deal sounds pretty exciting.
I just wanted to hear more about it.
- Oh really? - Yeah.
Like this photo shoot? Tim talked to you, didn't he? (small laugh) Yeah, he did I'm outta here.
Wait! He's just looking out for you.
Jade, hey! Can you at least hear me out? A few years ago I went on this thing called "The ring of fire" tour.
We went from town to town, making a show out of gentling colts.
And I was approached by a few sponsors.
You know, they said they didn't want some random model to push their product.
They wanted someone with a little more cred.
But the thing was, there was lots of people with more experience than I had at the time.
They just weren't the right "look".
And that's how they put it.
So I decided to turn them down.
Because it was more important to me to be respected by my peers than be the girl with "the look".
Well good for you.
But that was your decision.
- She just wants to help you.
- Yeah, right.
She probably just regrets not going for it while she had the chance.
And Tim, he just feels threatened that he doesn't have complete control over my rodeo career.
Do you really want to be some kind of poster-girl? I can't believe it.
You're jealous too? No.
I'm just trying to be your friend.
This is the most exciting thing that's ever happened to me and you're all ruining it.
If this is your idea of friendship, then you can keep it.
So did you have any luck with Jade? I'm sorry.
I tried, but she's really got her heart set on it.
Dammit.
She's just gonna regret this deal.
I know it.
- Okay.
You gotta come with me.
- Where? To this photo session thing.
Amy please, I know she's gonna dump me as her coach, but I can't stand by and just watch her screw up everything she's worked so hard for.
Please, will you help me? Dad, I can't.
I've got too much to do around here.
And besides, I don't think there is thing else I can say.
I'll go.
Okay.
Ian: Thanks for agreeing to meet up.
I have to admit, I'm kind of new to this online dating thing.
Yeah.
Me too I know, it's an old picture.
I guess you could say that I've evolved since then Yeah.
So has your hair.
(Chuckles) Yeah.
So, your profile says you have a fine arts degree? Yeah.
I'm a glass blower.
Oh, that sounds like a cool career.
You know what, it is.
You know, especially since I quit my job.
Oh Really I worked in a factory making beakers and test tubes.
Hm.
I guess that's not the most interesting use of your training.
Yeah, Amen.
So I decided to get back to feeding my creative soul.
Making art.
Well, I'd love to see your art.
Where do you sell it? Well uh, I actually haven't put it out there yet.
It's hard to explain, I just feel like I need enough pieces to tell a story.
Okay.
What kind of story? (Chuckles) It's a good question.
I-I'm not sure actually.
I'm still working on it.
Uh-ha.
(Chuckles) But I better figure it out soon.
My ex-wife's support payments they're killing me.
They're hardly enough for me to get by on.
(Awkward sigh) (Camera shutter clicks rapidly) Do you think we can take a break for a minute? Photographer: Sure.
I wanna run an idea past Turner anyway.
If you guys came here to gang up on me it's too late.
I already signed the contract.
(Sighs) You-you look amazing.
Tough, but really pretty too.
- Glad I have your approval.
- Turner: Hey, Jade Oh hey, buddy.
We've got a change of wardrobe before the next setup.
I want to feature our new line of jean shorts.
I don't know, man, those shorts they're pretty short.
I know.
We used to call them "daisy dukes".
But I'm a bronc rider.
I'd never wear these.
Oh, I get that But in this shot we're gonna have Caleb on a horse in the chute and then you're gonna be on the fencing, turned back towards camera.
Something a bit more artistic No, no.
This is bull.
Turner this is the only reason you signed her, isn't is? You didn't care that she was a great bronc rider you just wanted her to be one of your cowgirl barbie dolls.
No! You know what, that's my business, isn't it? And if you want me to sponsor you you put on the damn shorts.
Jade, come on! No Tim, this is my decision, okay? Not yours.
Could you please just go? (Sighs) All right, let's get to work.
(Music paying, patrons chatter, dishes clink) Hi.
Lou, right? - Yeah.
You must be Mitch.
- Yeah.
Hi.
Shall I grab us a table? Um, you know, I could really use a change of venue.
Yeah, I'm game for that.
Something about sitting across a table on a first date it feels like a job interview anyways.
- (Chuckles) Yeah.
- How about a walk? - Sure.
I'll get my jacket.
- Sure.
(Door clicks open) Thanks.
(Hooves thud lightly) (Trouble pants and grunts) (Amy clicks her tongue) Cass: How's he doing? - Amy: Seems like a new horse.
- Cass: That's great.
And I'm happy to check up on him as you pick up the training.
Hey, um, about that tea You still up for it? About that My day is way busier than I thought I'm so sorry, but can we Yeah.
No, you know, it's okay I mean, it's fine you have to do this.
Do what? I don't know if Ty talked to you or if you just feel sorry for me, but I'm okay.
Honestly.
You don't have to go out of your way to hang out with me.
Oh O-kay I appreciate the offer.
But, you know, I'm pretty good on my own.
(Retreating hooves, Trouble snorts) (Hooves clomp) (Phone beeps) I already put in my password.
- What did I make a mistake or - Oh! What are you two up to? Well, I'm trying to look at this farmer's almanac app thing.
But my fingers are so clumsy I can't push the right buttons.
Oh, you're right.
Let me take a look at it.
You know, I'll deal with it later.
I just, I gotta get going.
All right.
Katie: No more butt dialing, GG.
(Laughing) (Chuckles) Come on, let's go clean your room up.
- Okay.
- Bye.
I can't believe you went to school in New York.
Really? Why? It's just so not Hudson.
Well, I knew I wanted to go away, so I made a short list of the best business schools and Well, I did up this spreadsheet - A spreadsheet? - Yeah, you know Factored in everything that would go into my decision and then Columbia won out.
- Wow, that sounds so - Logical? I was going to say anal retentive - Thanks a lot.
Thanks.
- Yeah.
Okay.
Full disclosure A spreadsheet is actually why I agreed to go out with you today.
It worked for choosing a school, why not finding a guy? You know how crazy that sounds, right? Yes, because if I knew a guy ranked women on some ridiculous spreadsheet, he wouldn't even make mine.
(Both chuckle) Oh.
Whoa, whoa, whoa - Sorry, I thought - No, I'm not-I'm not ready for that.
I For what? It was just a kiss.
I know.
I'm just I'm just easing back into this.
So I'm-I'm looking to take things slow, But if you're cool with that, then I'd like to see you again.
Yeah.
I had-I had fun too It was really great meeting you, I just, I think I think we're both looking for different things right now.
Oh.
Okay.
Good luck with that spreadsheet.
(Scoffs in disbelief) You're really gonna wear that? (Sighs) I don't know.
Turner hasn't given me much of a choice.
But it's just not me.
I'm a bronc rider.
I mean, how is anybody supposed to take me seriously? Yeah.
I'm sorry, Jade, this is all my fault.
What? Yeah, If a hadn't pushed to be a part of this.
It'd be you on that horse if I wasn't here.
No.
It would be some other cowboy.
Turner clearly has his own ideas of a women's place in the rodeo and that's looking pretty, make that trashy, standing on the sidelines cheering on the guys.
Well, maybe we should show him just how stupid this looks.
What do you mean? I got it covered.
Please call me back when you get this, I just like to know if you talk to her at least.
I love you.
(Sighs) Everything okay? Yeah.
I think I might have offended Cassandra.
Oh? She suggested that we hang out, but I thought it was only because Ty put her up to it because he felt guilty for being away.
But what if he didn't? I totally just blew her off.
Oh? Well What are you guys looking for? We are looking for Katie's markers.
Oh.
Well, maybe grampa knows.
You should text him.
Oh, you think he'll respond? You never know.
(Small chuckle) So what do you think that I should do? 'Cause I feel bad.
I would just apologize, she'll understand.
You didn't want her to feel sorry for you or whatever.
(Phone chimes) Yeah, I guess.
Oh somebody is embracing technology.
- Um - What? Oh, it just He I gotta Can you just wants Katie for a minute please.
Yeah, sure.
But you're kinda freaking me out! What's going on? (mocking) Good luck with your spreadsheet.
(Door clicks open) Hey, sweetheart.
Hey Dad.
What's with him? Don't get him started.
She told me to get lost.
- Who did? - Jade.
You know, I get it.
You know, she wants to be a star, right? But she's naive? She can't see through that sleezeball.
What sleezeball? I'm telling you, I'm not gonna let him get away with it.
Okay, I have no idea what this is about.
But is sounds like you're gonna do something stupid.
I did something stupid when I introduced her to him.
Wow.
I didn't think anyone could be having a worse day than me.
Let me tell you something about internet dating - Actually, maybe just don't.
- Oh Okay.
It's fine, it's just I rather talk about something else anything else.
Right.
Honey, I'm sorry.
I should have realized I mean, you must hate the idea of your parents dating other people.
No, No.
That's not it at all.
I want you to be happy you deserve that, But all the details No kid wants to hear that.
Right.
(Grunts) (Approaching truck engine roars) - Jack!? Are you okay? - Jack: Yes!? Well, you said you were having chest pains.
- No.
- In your text.
- What text? - You wrote.
Chest bad pain.
No.
No.
no.
You asked where Katie's markers were and I said "check back pack".
Stupid auto correct.
Auto correct? What is that? Seriously? Just never mind.
All right, I'm ready for this shot.
No.
That's not the outfit I told you to put on.
There's been a change of plans.
We thought, you know, you might wanna show off your men's line shorts.
Boom! Okay.
That's real cute, you two.
But this shoot is costing me money.
So let's stop wasting everybody's time, huh? I'm not gonna wear the shorts.
So if you wanna take the picture I'm gonna sit on the horse.
You're really telling me how this is going down? Oh c'mon.
You have the chance to do something provocative.
To thumb your nose at what a girl's supposed to do.
What a girl's supposed to look like.
This could really set your brand apart.
Now, you think you know my brand better than I do? Okay.
You don't have to wear the shorts but if you don't, I'll tear up both your contracts.
Eh.
Not the first sponsor who's drop me.
You know, I get what buckle bunny fantasy you're selling here, but that's not who I am I'm the real deal.
I'm a bronc rider.
You're making a huge mistake.
(Small laugh) (Snapping fingers) Amy? You're decent? - Yes.
- Hey.
What's up? Oh, nothing.
Just this whole online dating thing has been a complete disaster.
I need to get away for a little while.
What, like take the kids to another beach? No.
Lisa said she'd watch them.
I'm going to New York, to visit some girlfriends.
Uh, you know they still have the internet in New York, right? Yeah, and I plan on going no where near it at least not to meet guys.
- Because of one bad date? - Try three Okay? And you know what they say Three strikes, I'm out.
I took my profile down this morning.
I guess, that's probably for the best.
You're the one who pushed me to try it in the first place.
I didn't think it would hurt.
But Lou, the truth is, when you meet the right guy you know, you don't need some online dating site or a spreadsheet to tell you he's your match.
You're just gonna know.
I hope so.
Hey, don't go meeting Mr.
Perfect in New York.
(Small laugh) (Water pours) - Hey.
- Hey Cassandra.
I'm glad you dropped by I don't feel sorry for you, okay? And for the record, Ty didn't ask me to hang out with you.
I'm sorry.
It just it came out of the blue and I thought I know.
But people Well, they need friends.
Wow.
You're giving me quite the complex I didn't think I seem that pathetic? I'm not talking about you.
Look, Caleb is on the road all the time.
And every time he's away I feel pretty lonely.
Makes me realize I've invested so much time into my career, and now my relationship I don't really have any friends.
That sounds familiar How about a raincheck on that tea? I know I'm the one who suggested that but the thing is sitting around and gabbing over tea not really my thing.
Yeah, me neither.
Well, how about I help you exercise your horses sometime.
- I didn't think you rode? - I'm learning That's what happens when you date a cowboy, you know.
(Laughing) (Hooves clomp) Whoa.
- Hey.
- Tim told me what you did yesterday - That's pretty cool.
- Yeah But the stuff I said to you the other night not so cool.
It's okay.
Don't worry about it.
I know you didn't mean any of that.
Besides, it was kinda good seeing you act like that.
- Really? - Yeah.
'Cause I know I never wanna be that big of a diva when I'm a huge trick riding star.
(Small laugh, light tap) C'mon, you gotta check out our new jump.
(Happy sigh) (Tack jingles) Okay.
(Clicks tongue) Okay.

Step into the cold daylight And see it for the first time (Steadying) Whoa.

Whoa! (Loud landing thud) - All: Wooo! (clapping) - Georgie: Good boy.
Cass: Wow, that was incredible.
Georgie, they look amazing.
Oh, they did so good.
I wish we could give them some type of reward or something.
Well You know what these two love more than anything And we've got a few others that could use some exercise.
