Heartland (CA) s11e15 Episode Script

Strength of Bonds

1 Previoulsly on "HEARTLAND" I know you're struggling with this decision about whether to take the scholarship or not, - and I understand.
- Well, I've decided.
- (SIGHS) I'm gonna go.
- I'm gonna miss you.
Yeah, me too.
You have to meet my daughter.
Uh, Peyton? Lainy, meet Georgie.
So, how do you two know each other? Oh, we just met.
Her trainer's the one who's been working with my horse.
Oh, you mean the one who thought he should be a rodeo bronc.
(GIGGLES) I'm feelin' better, so I can be cautiously optimistic.
That's what Dr.
Virani told me.
- We love you.
- I love you.
(HOOVES CLOP) (SIGHS) (RIDERS CHAT QUIETLY) WOMAN: Okay, I think you're all warmed up, one more lap, and then bring it in.
Time to do the course.
(PHOENIX HUFFS SOFTLY) (HORSES SNORT) PEYTON: Don't worry, he's not here.
Dylan.
He's out of town for a few days.
Oh, I wasn't worried about running into him or anything.
I just, I was looking for your mom, I wanted to thank her.
It's amazing she's letting me train here.
Yeah, I'll let her know.
She usually only lets family and close friends train in our arena, but I guess she made an exception.
(SIGHS HEAVILY) (GATES CLANG, HORSE WHINNIES) (COWS MOO) (ROPE WHOOSHES) TIM: Yup! Wait on the corner! You're too tight! See? What'd I tell ya?! - MAN: It was that close! - Hey, well, the header screwed up too, he slowed the steer on the corner.
What're you doing here? Well, it's nice to see you, too.
You're supposed to be in Texas.
- It's Thanksgiving weekend.
- Right! Good to see ya! Hey You wanna stick around for the rest of the practice? I could probably use your help.
Yeah, sure, these guys look like they could use - a couple pointers.
- Yeah.
Okay, guys! Come on in! Come on in here.
(CLAPS) Listen up! - Look who's back.
- GUYS: Jade! Hey, Jade! Huh? She's a big shot now.
On a rodeo scholarship at a big school in Texas, so if she's got any advice, listen to it.
- MAN: All right, we gotcha.
- Okay, who's next? - LET'S GO.
- MAN: Oh, yeah.
Hey Jade, good to see ya.
Oh, hey! Aww! - (SIGHS HEAVILY) - Oh? What? You all right? Oh, I just got off the phone with Lou, and she can't make it home for Thanksgiving weekend.
- What?! - Oh dear, well I mean, with Ty at the conference and now this, maybe we just put it off to another weekend.
No.
No.
We always have dinner on Thanksgiving Sunday.
- It's tradition.
- Okay.
Yeah, but Grandpa, Lou always cooks dinner.
- And that's tradition.
- Yes, and as I recall, she doesn't let anybody in the kitchen on that day.
We'll all pitch in.
We can make this work.
Right, Lyndy? (HOOVES THUD) PEYTON: Come on, Tyson, let's go.
(TYSON SNORTS) (LOW WHINNIES) (HOOVES THUD) (SNORTS AGITATEDLY) (SNORTS, WHINNIES) - Whoa! - Tyson! Easy, boy! - Watch out! ANDREW: Control your horse! - Whoa, Tyson! Hey! Oh! Oh! Ah! - PEYTON: Whoa, whoa! - WOMAN: You all right? - Tyson! - Dammit! - Oh! Whoa - Do you want me to take him? Yeah.
Oh my god, are you okay? - What is it with that horse? - I am so sorry.
(BREATHING HEAVILY) I'm gonna lodge an official complaint.
To who? You do know I live here, right? - You're training at my place.
- Yes, I know your mother very well.
I'm an official with Equestrian Canada, and I'm not gonna let personal relationships get in the way of what I need to do.
- What're you talking about? - I've seen this kind of behaviour from your horse before.
He's far too dangerous to have around other horses and competitors.
I'm gonna recommend he be barred from future shows.
(SHOCKED MURMURS) - Are you okay? - That guy can't do that.
Tyson's an amazing jumper.
Yeah, well, he was great on course, But why'd he go after that other horse? He was totally out of control.
It's all the other horses coming in and out of here.
My mom needs to stop letting just anybody into our arena! S11E15 Strength of Bonds And at the break of day You sank into your dream You dreamer Oh, oh, oh, oh You dreamer You dreamer Well, thanks for hanging out.
You know, these guys kinda think you're a big deal.
- They all look up to you.
- Yeah, whatever.
I do really miss being here.
So what else is up? In Hudson? Come on, I wanna hear about Texas.
What's your new coach like? He's really good.
Better than me? Ah, well, I wouldn't go there.
(LAUGHS) What about your teammates? They're good, everyone's been super friendly.
Yeah, and your classes? You're going to class, right? Yes, and I've been doing very well so far.
Well, then it all sounds great.
Yeah, so is this the part where you tell me - you told me so? - I did, didn't I? Yeah I guess.
- Hey, welcome back.
- Hey.
(DINERS CHATTER, CUTLERY CLANKS) - Is it okay that I did that? - Yeah.
Cool.
So, um, how was practice? Are things still going well with Phoenix? Yeah, things are good.
We were over at the Westfield's today.
Oh wow, look at you.
Westfield Estate.
Running with Hudson elite.
Hardly, I still feel super uncomfortable around people like the Westfields, but - I better get used to it.
- Yeah.
Just don't go and become like, one of them, you know? Are you kidding? Never.
I do kinda wish that I didn't feel like such an outsider, though.
Yeah, I get that.
So um was Dylan there today? No, he's out of town or something.
- Nice castle.
- Thank you.
(BOTH LAUGH) Hey, what's going on for Thanksgiving? Is Lou really staying in New York? Uh, well, she said she couldn't get away, but told us to go ahead with dinner anyway.
So who's gonna make Grandma Lyndy's stuffing? - Well, I can give it a shot.
- No, only Lou can make it.
Well, I can certainly follow a recipe.
No, there's no recipe.
Grandma Lyndy taught Lou how to do it when she was a little girl so she would carry it on.
I don't think Marion even knew the recipe.
No, it's-it's a tradition.
Lyndy never let anyone see the recipe except for Lou, and now Lou is the keeper of the recipe, so.
Holy smokes.
Did you come all the way out here to talk about stuffing? No, actually I need your advice on something.
Oh, well, that's a first.
What's up? Jade's home for the weekend, from Texas.
And I just think it's a bit weird that I haven't said anything about, you know, me.
But I don't see the point.
I mean, why bother? I'm starting to feel better.
And she is, she's a big girl.
Right? She can take it.
It's not like she's my real daughter.
But I-I feel protective of her, and she's doing so well down in Texas, you know, I don't want to distract her.
I won't tell her.
No.
No, why, why make her worry? It could be nothing.
So Decision made.
I'm not gonna say a thing.
Not 'til I'm out of the woods.
(SNAPS FINGERS) Thanks, good chat.
Well, I'm glad we could offer our opinion.
Yes, we were a lot of help there.
You're welcome! - Hey.
- Hey! How'd it go at Westfield's? Oh good, but something happened.
- To Phoenix? - No, no, he's great.
- But you remember Peyton, right? - Um, Paula's daughter, right? Yes, her horse totally blew up in the arena.
And then there was this Equestrian Canada official there that said he was gonna get him banned from competing.
Yikes, he must've been really out of control.
Yeah, but not on course, just around other horses.
Well, that's not good.
Yeah.
But there's something different about him.
I-I don't know, he seems like a really great horse, so I got thinking maybe you could work with him? Georgie, do you remember the last time I worked with a Westfield horse? You made them realize what he was meant for.
No, I made them realize how they could make more money off him.
Okay, well, I-I just, I really think this horse could use your help.
Why do you all of a sudden wanna go out on a limb for Peyton? I know, Peyton's not my favourite person, but believe me, I-I think she really cares about this horse.
Okay.
Well, have her bring the horse by, all right? I will take a look at it, that is, if she wants me to.
Thank you.
I'll try.
(SIGHS) Hey.
You know Thanksgiving is Lou's big day.
Are you absolutely sure she's okay with us - going ahead without her? - Oh, of course I am.
Well, at least we can't always be in the same place at the same time, and we have to keep traditions alive.
Like Lyndy's stuffing? The signature family Thanksgiving dish that uh, Lou is not super keen to give me the recipe for.
What? She said that? No, but I did text her right after Tim left and I haven't heard a peep.
You texted? Why don't people wanna call, and just have a conversation anymore? (SIGHS) I'm sure she'll get back to you.
Okay.
(CRICKETS CHIRP) Hey, kid.
Jade! Welcome back! Thank you.
It feels so good to be home.
I went by the rodeo grounds this afternoon, and Tim seems to be back on his game.
- What do you mean? - Well, I have to admit, I was starting to wonder if something was up with him before I left.
He just seemed so I don't know, not himself, you know? You must've noticed that too.
Yeah, maybe a little.
Okay, now you're acting weird.
- What're you talking about? - I don't know, you tell me.
Is something up with Tim? Okay, you're kinda freaking me out! What is it? It's nothing.
It's probably nothing.
Georgie, what're you talking about? I'm not supposed to say anything.
Well, too late now! Just tell me.
(SIGHS) Okay, like I said, it's probably nothing.
But these weird things were happening, so he had an MRI done.
He had a brain scan? Yeah.
And they found something.
And they're still not sure what it is.
You can't tell him I told you anything! (SIGHS) (FOOTSTEPS THUD) - What's going on? - Well, apparently, these are for you.
Oh, Wyatt.
Seriously? Well, that boy is not afraid to go over the top, is he? Yeah, I don't know what to say.
I think it's very sweet.
What do you want us to do with them, honey? Uh, I dunno.
Amy's out there training Peyton's horse.
Okay, well, go, and we'll put them in vases.
- Oh, are you sure? - Yeah.
And don't be overwhelmed, he's just showing you - how much he likes you.
- Okay, thank you.
(PAPER RUSTLES) (TACK JINGLES) (TYSON SNORTS) (HOOVES THUD) (TYSON PANTS) - Hey.
- PEYTON: Hi.
- How's it going? - I don't know.
Amy watched me ride for awhile and then she wanted to go back to the barn, said she wanted to try something.
Hopefully she doesn't wanna turn Tyson into a rodeo bronc as well.
Amy's good at what she does, and she was right about Holloway.
Yeah, I guess.
- Hey, can I ask you a question? - Yeah, sure.
- Why are you doing this? - Doing what? Being so helpful, or whatever.
I just, I think Amy could really help your horse, that's all.
I've gotta go, I'm meeting my boyfriend.
Oh, you have a boyfriend? Yeah, it's kind of a new thing.
Oh, Dylan'll be sorry to hear that.
(SIGHS) (TYSON WHINNIES AGITATEDLY) Tyson! Easy! (GROANS) Whoa, buddy! Easy! - What do I do? - Georgie, come take this horse.
- Calm down.
Amy, help! - Whoa You're all right.
Whoa Whoa Easy.
- Whoa! Easy, buddy.
- Hey, easy.
You're okay.
- You're okay.
Hey.
Hey.
- Easy.
See? This is what he does.
It's okay.
He's calming down, you need to do the same.
Yeah, but I can't! I just I get so freaked out when he does that.
The sooner you can control your emotions, the sooner you can control your horse.
You make it sound so easy, but how am I supposed to stay calm when he gets like that? I wanna try a technique that'll help you connect with him.
I'm gonna put some of our horses in the pen there.
What're you gonna do? I'm gonna ride Tyson around with them.
Yeah, but you just saw what happened.
Gonna need you to trust me.
(HORSES WHINNY) (DOOR CLANGS) Hey.
I thought you were gonna help me again today.
- I slept in.
- Seriously? Well, I was up late last night, and ever since I've been home, I've been thinking, and I don't know.
You don't know what? Where I should be right now.
What're you talking about? Well, I miss my friends, and I miss U of C, and I, I miss this rodeo school.
Hold on! Where is this comin' from? Because yesterday everything was great in Texas.
Yeah, it's fine but this is my home.
You're not thinking of quitting, are you? Are you homesick? Is that it? We talked about this.
It's part of the process, you know that.
You can call me, you can talk to me, you can talk to me about anything.
- Really? - Yeah.
- Anything? - Yes! I know, Tim! You know what? I know about your MRI.
I can't be in Texas, while you're dealing with all this here! - (SIGHS) All right - No, just I just feel like such an idiot.
You know, why should I even care? You didn't even tell me! Just Ugh! (SIGHS) Okay, so what was that? All the flowers? You're my girlfriend now, prepare to be spoiled.
One bouquet would've been enough.
Yeah, I just thought two would be nicer.
It was a lot.
Uh, I don't know what to say.
- Maybe, "thank you?" - Okay, thank you.
I love them.
It was very sweet.
Okay, wait 'til you hear what I have planned for us - for tonight.
- Really, what? I'm gonna take you for dinner in the city, to this place called, "La Maison.
" - Oh, it sounds fancy.
- It is! It's supposed to be amazing.
Nothing but the best for you.
- Okay, we could check it out.
- It's gonna be good.
I'll pick you up at six, okay? Maybe in a horse and a carriage.
- Wyatt! - Fine.
One horse.
My Mustang.
But I'm gonna keep the top up to protect your hair.
See? I'm classy now.
- Very classy.
Nice.
- Yeah.
(NERVOUS SNORTS, WHINNIES) Tyson, easy.
Easy, easy.
Hey, hey, hey.
See how I'm taking control of the situation by circling him around? I'm keeping his mind off the other horses.
There you go.
Easy, hey.
Hey.
(TYSON WHINNIES) That's enough.
There we go.
The more I do this, the more he realizes that his behaviour won't be tolerated.
I'm just redirecting his energy.
Okay, so what're you saying, I'm the problem? That's not the point.
There is no one to blame.
I just want you to see what's possible.
You can do this, okay? You can take control of your horse in any situation, but you need to believe that.
(SIGHS) Hey.
Georgie.
You told Jade? Why? She was all over me.
She noticed the way you were acting before she left and she knew something was up, so she asked me point blank.
What was I supposed to do, lie about something this serious? No.
No.
- I just couldn't do it.
- Georgie.
I'm sorry.
I-I shouldn'tve put you in that position, I should've told her myself.
(HORSES HUFF AND SNORT) See, those horses aren't gonna hurt you.
Let's try that again.
(TYSON CHUFFS) - Hey.
- Hi.
- Amy's really good.
- Yeah, I know.
Hey, so um, a couple of the girls from my riding club are gonna go out tonight, maybe make some junk food, and rent a bad movie, if you wanna join.
Oh, um, that sounds fun, but my boyfriend has this big dinner date planned.
Oh yeah? Maggie's? Uh no, a French restaurant in Calgary called "La Maison.
" Oh, really? My parents go there a lot.
It's supposed to be incredible.
That's impressive.
- Oh.
(LAUGHS) - Hey, Peyton, you wanna give it a try? Yeah.
(HOOVES CLOMP) AMY: Okay, I want you to take it slow.
Walk Tyson as close to the other horses as you can.
(PANICKED BREATHING) Whoa, Tyson! Don't let him do that, Peyton.
- Take control.
- Tyson! Oh! All right, circle him around.
Easy, buddy! (WHIMPERS) Peyton, you need to be confident in your commands.
He needs to know what you're asking him to do.
- (WHIMPERS) Whoa, buddy! - Peyton! - Easy, you're fine.
- No, Amy! You're okay.
You need to settle down.
Settle down.
- Easy.
- Whoa, boy.
(TYSON WHINNIES) - Easy.
Easy, Tyson.
- There we go.
He needs to know that you're the boss.
Easy Whoa, Tyson.
(TYSON HUFFS) - Easy.
- There you go.
Okay.
Easy, buddy.
Okay, once more.
No, forget it! I'm done! Peyton, come on.
You did it! No, you did.
If you weren't there, he probably would've attacked your horse.
I completely froze up again.
Okay, don't be so hard on yourself.
It's not easy to change the dynamics of any relationship, but we'll get there, right? I can help put Tyson in the trailer, if you want.
Okay, thanks.
(SIGHS HEAVILY) Hey! How's it goin' with that jumping horse? Well, I thought we were making progress, - but then he just blew up again.
- Oh? I just hope I'm not pushing them too fast, you know? How do you mean? Well, the horse has aggression issues with other horses.
And I think it stems from the rider's lack of confidence and her frustration with him.
So I tied a bunch of our horses off in a pen, and just threw them in.
Where'd you get the idea to do that? I read it in mom's journal.
I'm not surprised.
You know what horse she used that idea with the first time? - Paint.
- Really? Yeah, he had the same issues when he was young.
Huh.
I I didn't even know that.
Yeah, well, it had got to the point where I wanted to spur the hide right off him, make him know who's boss.
- Grandpa! - I know.
I know.
That's exactly how your mom felt.
So she did this exercise where you tie the horses off in the pen.
Did it work? Not at first.
He was pretty high strung.
I was frustrated, but well, funny thing.
Once I calmed down, Paint calmed down.
So you think I'm goin' about this the right way? Well, it sure worked for me and Paint.
I guess I should know better than to question Mom's ideas, right? Or your own.
(CHUCKLES) Okay, I'm here, what do you wanna tell me? All right, first, I wanna apologize.
But Jade, I hope that you can understand why I didn't say anything.
I've been waiting for test results.
I figured, why tell anyone anything unless the news is bad? But my symptoms are getting better, everything's starting to point in the right direction.
Your mother even said so herself.
Okay, but what if this thing in your brain, what if it's really bad? And what if it doesn't go away? And what if I never found out? And you set this whole thing up, and you pushed me as far away as possible.
And how do you think I would've felt if I was in Texas, clueless, having the time of my life, while you're back here, - possibly - Dying.
Yeah, I-I didn't think it through.
Yeah, I never would've forgiven myself! (FOOTSTEPS THUD) (CARS RUMBLE DISTANTLY) (DINERS CHATTER) (SOFT MUSIC PLAYS) Thank you.
Thanks.
(SIGHS) Wow.
This place is fancier than I expected.
You know, even Peyton was impressed you were bringing me here.
Sounds like you guys are getting pretty friendly.
Um, no, I wouldn't go that far.
But I think I'm starting to see a whole new side of her.
Maybe there's more to her than meets the eye.
Bonjour, welcome to "La Maison.
" May I suggest the chef's inspired three-course meal this evening? It starts with a choice of a house salad, or our delicious butternut squash soup, followed by bruschetta and canapes, and finally, a beautiful filet mignon for your entree.
Wow, I don't think I've ever had any of that before, but it all sounds so good.
Excellent choice, mademoiselle.
With the soup or salad? The soup, please.
- And for you? - Um the salad.
With the three-course meal as well? No, just-just the salad, please.
Can I get you both started with something to drink? Um, I'll have the Italian soda, please.
- Just water, please.
- Sparkling or still? - Tap? - Of course.
(SILVERWARE CLINKS) The filet mignon for mademoiselle.
- Thank you.
- And for monsieur, - the salad.
- Thank you.
- Fresh cracked pepper? - No, thank you.
Um, no thank you.
But can I just have, uh, - some more bread, please? - Of course.
Okay, let's dig in.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
(LAUGHS) Ooh, Lasagne! It smells delicious.
It really does, doesn't it? Yeah, well, it's Lou's recipe.
I hope she doesn't mind I used it.
She still hasn't replied to your email? No, not a word, and I think her silence is her answer about how she feels about me in this family.
No! No, don't overreact, it's just a recipe for stuffing! You said yourself, it's a very important family tradition.
I don't think Lou thinks I'm worthy of carrying it on.
(BOTH SIGH) Wow, the steak was so good.
Almost as good as Grandpa's.
Do you want the last bite? - No, I'm good, thank you.
- Are you sure? The salad was pretty small.
This? No.
The-Oh, pfft! This was great.
The-the leaves and the, um, pomegranates, and the tomatoes, so filling.
- All finished? - Mm-hmm.
Would you like to hear about our dessert features - this evening? - Yes, please.
Tonight we're offering a white chocolate creme brulee, and a tarte tartin.
That's a caramelized upside-down apple pie.
They both sound delicious.
What would you recommend? Both.
Oh, that's a great idea, we'll share.
Yeah Great.
Um Thanks.
(DINERS CHATTER SOFTLY) I hope I didn't miss anything too important.
- Jade, what're you doing here? - This is rodeo school, right? Yeah.
Yeah, these boys are in training, so no spectators.
Oh, I'm not here to watch, I'm here to learn how to ride a bronc.
This is rodeo school.
What, you don't think a girl can ride a bronc?! I didn't say that.
That's not very progressive of you, Mr.
Fleming.
Okay.
(GATE CLANGS) (HORSE WHINNIES) - Oh! Oh! Oh! - What the hell?! Jade! - Oh! Whoa! (HOOVES THUNDER) Oh! Oh! - Ohhh! - Tim: Jade! - Ah - Jade? Ah.
(GROANS) Come on.
Come on.
Ah.
Oh Beat that, boys! (SPOON CLINKS) Good night.
(DINERS CHATTER QUIETLY) (SIGHS) Wow.
He wasn't lying.
Those were delicious.
Thank you so much For the amazing dinner.
You're welcome.
You know what? You didn't have to take me somewhere this fancy, but I'm really glad you did.
It's like I said, it's nothing but the best for you.
Just gonna run to the restroom.
No rush, and just so you know, a 20% gratuity is automatically added, but you're welcome to leave anything over and above that, - if you wish.
- Okay.
- Thank you.
- Of course.
What?! I just-Sorry, I expected it to be more expensive, Everything was so good, right? (DOOR BANGS SHUT) - TIM: Hey! - Hey.
Hey, uh, is Georgie around? Nope, she's out with Wyatt tonight.
Oh, too bad.
I need her advice about Jade.
Oh, just like you wanted our advice the other day? Well, Georgie knows Jade better than anybody.
So you are gonna tell her.
Nope.
Georgie already told her.
And now Jade's angry with me for not telling her first.
Did you not learn anything from the fact that Georgie didn't hear the news from you directly and they're, they're best friends? You must've thought she would tell her at some point.
I thought I was doing the right thing.
(JACK SIGHS) (DINERS CHATTER) (SILVERWARE CLINKS) (MINTS RUSTLE) Hey, let's go.
What, you don't want an after-dinner mint? - No, I've got some in the car.
- What? Seriously? - Yeah, yeah, come on.
- (SIGHS) - (SIGHS HEAVILY) - Let's go.
Hey What's up with you? You're acting so weird.
No, it's just getting late, you know, and um I know Jack keeps track of that sort of thing.
Watch out.
(DOOR SLAMS) - GEORGIE: Wyatt! - Hey! (TIRES SCREECH, ENGINE REVS) Hey, get back here! You didn't pay! - Hello, Jade.
- Jack.
Thanks for coming by.
I, uh, I understand you're pretty upset with Tim.
Yeah.
Of course I am.
And maybe you have good reason to be.
But I wanna say something here.
Tim doesn't know if this is just some little shadow on an x-ray that's gonna go away on its own, or if it's something that could be well, you know the scenario.
Yeah, well, that's exactly why he should've told me.
Yeah, maybe.
I had a health scare in the past, so I know how it can affect you, and everyone around you.
You feel this responsibility to to protect the people that are close to you, and well, sometimes, you make mistakes.
Now, keeping this from you, was probably one of 'em.
But I can tell you this for certain.
His heart was in the right place.
He was only doing what he thought was best for you.
He cares, Jade.
He cares a lot.
Well, so what should I do? You might start by trying to see this through his eyes.
(PEOPLE CHATTER) I can't believe we dined and dashed.
I know, and for the millionth time, I'm so sorry.
I-I had no idea how expensive it was gonna be.
And like I said, I went back this morning, and I paid the bill.
So humiliating.
I loved the dinner, and the flowers the other day, but where did you get all these crazy ideas that I'm into all that? No, I know you're not.
It's just, you're my girlfriend now, and you're spending all this time in this world with like, a bunch of rich people.
Like Dylan.
So you're trying to keep up with a guy I don't even like? I know.
It's stupid.
Yeah, it is stupid! I like you because of the Wild West photo shoots, and the road trips to gopher museums, and going on trail rides instead of formal dances.
I have so much fun with you, and I'm not in this for the things you can buy me.
Please, go back to being yourself.
Okay? Okay.
So, since it's official that Lou isn't giving the recipe out What? She said that? No, she hasn't said anything at all.
Oh well, she didn't get your text, then.
It says "delivered" right beside it.
So I went ahead and I bought these, and this is how we're doing it this year, - and it's gonna be great.
- No, just give her a call, Lisa.
I don't want it to be any more awkward than it is! Well, I don't see how it can get any worse than this! You know, you have dreamed up this scenario for why Lou won't give you the recipe, and you haven't even talked to her yet! Okay, I will, I'll text her again.
No, Lisa! Call her.
AMY: That looks great.
Just keep that forward momentum.
That's the positive thing we wanna reinforce.
Don't let him pay attention to the other horses.
(HOOVES THUD) - GEORGIE: Hey.
- Hey.
- How's it goin'? - Pretty good, actually.
Peyton seems to have a much better connection with him today, and he's not even reacting to the other horses.
He feels like a different horse.
That's because you're a different rider.
Thanks.
Hey, can we go back to my place? I wanna show the equestrian official - that Tyson's a safe horse.
- Do you mean today? Well, yeah, maybe he hasn't lodged his complaint yet.
Sure, but I don't know how you're gonna get him to come out there at such short notice.
Never underestimate my mother, She can be uh persuasive.
(GATE CLANGS) I hope you have some top flight broncs here today.
I'm staying, so you better have some stock that's up to my new standards.
(SIGHS) Okay, you can train with us today.
But Jade, you and I both know that you need to go back to Texas.
No, actually I don't think that's what I need.
The school is fine, but I like U of C more.
And the competition is just as good here, and if you wanna know the truth about that coach, he's good, but you're better.
- Jade - No.
I've made up my mind.
And I wanna be a part of this again.
And if you really want what's best for me, then you won't get in the way of that.
(HORSE WHINNIES LOUDLY) All right, then.
So as luck would have it, I have a nasty bronc right here.
Stubborn as a son of a gun.
I think he'd be a perfect fit for you.
ANDREW: Okay, what have you got? Thank you for coming out.
I know that you're gonna see a big improvement.
Well, I have to warn you, I'm not a person easily swayed.
Especially from what I've seen from that horse in the past.
Wait see? He's not even reacting to the other horses.
(TYSON PANTS) (DOOR BANGS, HORSES WHINNY) - AMY: Hey, Peyton! - Oh no.
Circle him! It's okay.
Easy, Tyson.
- AMY: Nice! - Easy, boy.
(LAUGHS) - Did you see that? - Yeah! You were amazing, you both were.
They've come a long way, haven't they? Yeah, they have.
So what'd you guys do, sedate him? No, we didn't.
Peyton has learned how to control her fear, and in doing so, Tyson now completely trusts her.
So will you reconsider? Yeah.
I'll hold off filing a report for now.
But I'm gonna keep an eye on that horse.
That's fine, we got this.
No, I'm sorry for the misunderstanding.
I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions.
Yes, I do, I have it all.
I know, we're gonna miss you, too.
Okay.
Yep, okay, bye.
(PHONE BEEPS) - I have it! (LAUGHS) - Have what? That was Lou.
She didn't even get my text, and she said she certainly would've given me the recipe right away, 'cause I've been in the family for so long, and she thinks I'm great in the kitchen.
- She actually said that.
- Nice! Yeah, and she thinks that I am the one that should share in the secret of the recipe.
Well, I think that is beautiful.
- Yeah, me too.
- So, let's get started.
Oh! Oh! No, no! These are for my eyes only.
- What?! - Yeah! It's tradition, haven't you heard? Thanks for everything, Amy.
Georgie was right, you're amazing.
Well, you were willing to put in the work, that's the most important part.
- You gotta keep it up, though.
- I will.
- I have to say I'm impressed.
- Thanks.
And thanks for being so cool about this.
I feel like I don't really deserve it.
I wasn't very welcoming to you at first.
- Don't worry about it.
- No! I plan on making it up to you.
And I'm gonna start by letting you in on something.
My friend Lainy is the one who made that post about you and Dylan, and it was so not cool, but I promise I'm not gonna let anything happen like that ever again.
Deal? - Thanks for having my back.
- That's what friends are for.

I thought we were gonna stop with the expensive stuff, and I saw it at a craft store, and I couldn't resist.
