Heartland (CA) s14e04 Episode Script
Through the Smoke
Previously on "Heartland":
- Hi, munchkin!
- What're you doing here, Lily,
- after all this time?
- I came to apologize.
I don't know why I let
you talk me into this
in the first place. I
must've been out of my mind.
- What? What're you doing?
- I got a horse to exercise.
- What's his name?
- Howler.
I remember that you said that
Howler wasn't ready to race
I told Wade that,
but there was a race this
morning and he entered him.
You've gotta be kidding me.
Do you even know what I'm dealing with?
Yeah, maybe the mayor of Hudson
is here, but not my sister,
and that's who I really need!
I didn't choose to
be away from you, Amy.
I lost my son and I needed help.
So why can't you understand
that need in people
when you can see it so well in horses.
Mickey! Come back! Mickey!
911. What's your emergency?
You need to get a fire crew out here
to Highway 7 and Foothills
Pass at the railway tracks.
- Is there a fire?
- Yup.
Yeah, no, there's been an
explosion. Like a derailment.
Fire's burning out here outta control.
- Highway 7 and Foothills?
- Yeah, I would
- as fast as you can.
- Units are responding.
- Okay.
- They're on their way.
Yeah.
Hey, hey, hey! No!
No, you gotta go! I
called the fire crew.
Just keep moving.
Dad. Did you hear that explosion?
Hear it? I was driving back into town,
and it happened right in front of me.
A train's derailed, a car exploded.
- What?! Where?
- It's by the rodeo grounds.
Uh, you know, the railway tracks?
The fire's spreading fast, Lou.
You better, you better stay on this.
And, and do what?
I I don't know. Is there something
a mayor's supposed to
do in this kind of thing?
Right. Yeah, yeah,
yeah. Of of course.
Look, I gotta go. I gotta go.
What's going on?
Hey, did you guys hear that noise?
I'm trying to find the news right now.
A train car exploded near
the racetrack. Dad saw it.
Yeah, there's like a
huge fire there now.
Um, do you mind watching Lyndy for me?
- Of course.
- Where are you going?
There was a race at the
rodeo grounds this morning.
A lot of the horses are
probably still stabled there,
including Howler.
I should probably get a hold of Rick.
Well, call him from the road.
I'll drive, okay? Do you mind
- Katie? Yes, of course. Of
- Thank you.
Jack
- They'll be fine.
- No, not them. Where's Parker?
Mickey?! Where are you?!
Mickey?!
Mickey!
- Tim?!
- How're you doing?
- What're you doing here?
- What was in that tanker?
- Ah, it's just propane.
- Propane?
It could be much worse.
We're trying to nail down
what's in those other ones.
- You need to get outta here.
- No, I can help you.
I can, I can stay in
touch with my daughter.
I'll be in regular contact with Lou.
Please just leave the fire zone, hmm?
It's okay.
Lily, what're you doing here?
Well, I came to get Howler.
I was hoping that one
of the other owners could
take him in their trailers,
but no one's got any room.
There's, there's a whole
bunch of horses here.
I can see smoke! Are the
other owners gonna come?
I doubt it, not at this point.
The fire's headed towards
the front entrance.
- Are we trapped?
- No. I just came from there.
If you go now, you'll be fine.
If anything happens to this
horse, Wade is gonna kill me.
'Kay, well, I'm gonna take
him and the other horses,
there's a creek just
to the north of here.
I'll get them out that way.
- You can do that?
- Well, those are pony horses.
I'll ride one of them and push the rest.
Well, then I'm gonna
stay 'cause I can help.
- I wanna help.
- Lily, I need you
to go back to Heartland
and wait for me there.
- I'm not leaving you here on your
- Lily, I need you to go. Please!
Okay. Okay. Please be careful.
Okay.
Please tell me you're
familiar with all of Hudson's
emergency response procedures.
Yes. I mean, I read them
a while ago, but uh
It's fine. Luckily, I know
them backwards and forwards.
I've been through my
share of wildfires, floods,
- wind storms and
- O okay.
Can you just tell me what
I need to know right now?
Wait to hear from Mark
Devers, he's the Fire Chief.
- And the Chief of Police is
- Jim Parker.
- Yes, I know them both.
- Well, Jim is already setting up
the emergency control center.
Already? We don't even
know how big this fire is.
We need to prepare for
the worst-case scenario.
Okay. Well, then I should be at
the emergency control center, right?
Uh, wrong. You'd only get in the way
of all the response professionals
who actually know what they're doing.
Your most important role in all of this
is to relay what's going
on here to the community.
Tell them what they need
to know and do it gently.
- Very gently.
- What does that mean? Uh
You'll wanna make sure everyone's
feeling calm, safe and secure.
Of course, we'll have
call in town council,
in case anything needs to go to a vote.
- Like what?
- Oh, I don't know,
possibly calling a state
of emergency, for example.
Well, hey, maybe we should
all congregate at Maggie's.
Uh, Maggie's? Why?
You said you wanted Lou
connected to the community.
I mean, that's the spot, right?
Yeah, and town council
always meets here.
No, Peter's right. At Maggies's,
we can stay accessible to
everyone through all of this.
It's Mitch.
Hey, babe. Um, no, no, no.
We're all fine, we're
fine. Just just one sec.
Call the councillors,
ask them to meet us at Maggie's ASAP.
Hey.
No, it's just stay put.
The fire will be out by
the time you get here.
Okay.
Yup. I gotta go.
Yeah, I I love, I love you too.
Okay.
Parker!
Parker!
Lily, what're you doing back here?
Fire reached the entrance,
I couldn't get out.
So just tell me what we have to do.
Okay, uh you can ride
the other pony horse.
- Okay.
- We'll get him tacked up
and we'll push these other
horses down to the river.
We're still not sure what
caused the propane explosion,
but our firefighters are concentrating
all of their efforts to put out the fire
at the railway crossing, okay?
What about the rodeo grounds?
My cousin said he saw the fire
getting closer to that, too.
Well, we have more crews coming
from Black Diamond and Okotoks, okay?
So we're just, we're
gonna get you more updates
as soon as we're able. Just, please,
- everyone be patient.
- Okay, thank you.
Lou, what's going on?
Yeah, Amy, are you still
at the rodeo grounds?
Yeah, there's still a
bunch of horses here.
No, Amy, the fire is coming.
I know, that's why I gotta get them out.
There is no time. You need to
leave the horses and get out.
I know what I'm doing, Lou,
okay? You focus on your job
- and I'll do mine.
- Amy!
Amy!
There's another fire crew
on the way from Bragg Creek,
but it still doesn't seem like enough.
You know, I've got some
friends at Middleton Oil.
They have their own
emergency response team,
- including a full fire crew.
- Really?
Yeah. I mean, they're close by, too.
- I think that's a great idea.
- Of course you would.
You'd love nothing more
than to have big oil
come out looking like
the hero in all of this.
Hey, guys, can we leave
the politics aside?
Lou's right, but I do
think we should hold off
on using any private emergency services.
Why? The more fire crews the better.
This isn't like asking
other towns to pitch in.
We have reciprocity
agreements with them.
Middleton will charge
us through the nose.
Well, then we'll pay it.
Look, we have to do whatever
it takes to protect Hudson.
I know you've been
at this almost a year,
but I've been doing
this for over a decade,
and I'm strongly advising
you not to jump the gun.
Our duty to Hudson also includes
protecting its financial well-being.
Okay. We'll hold off on
calling Middleton Oil for now.
Okay.
Everybody should stay right there!
Why are you still here?
We gotta find out what's in this tanker.
We? Huh!
Man, you're just as stubborn
as you were back on the circuit.
I got all the compounds to match
these universal ID numbers in this book.
Yeah, well, they're all online too.
- Okay, here it is.
- What is it?
You tell me.
Heads up! We got a problem!
Mark, how's it going?
Okay
Yeah.
All right. Right, right away.
What's happening?
There is a tank full of
chlorine on those tracks.
If the fire gets anywhere
near it and it blows
There'll be a lethal cloud of gas.
How big an area would it cover?
They're sending us a map with
a projected radius right now,
but at least a couple
miles in every direction.
We need to evacuate the
entire town of Hudson. Now.
We need to call Lisa. And Amy is
I'm on it, I'm on it.
We can get an emergency alert
out to people's phones, right?
Yeah. And you need
to give a live address
that goes out on TV,
radio, and all social media.
Okay.
And remember, be gentle
with the messaging.
We don't want anyone to freak out.
Why not? They should be freaking out.
I am freaking out. If that thing blows,
- this could be a major disaster.
- Shh
that's the kind of wording
you should stay away from.
Be firm on the evacuation order,
but refer to this as
a precautionary measure
to address a potential threat.
Same messaging, softer delivery.
I'll get the camera crew in ASAP.
Parker!
- I haven't found her yet.
- I just talked to Peter.
There's a full tank of a
chemical on those tracks.
- What kind of chemical?
- Chlorine.
Okay. You need to get the girls
and get on the highway. Now.
What about you and Parker?
I'll find her and
we'll meet up with you.
No, we're not leaving without you.
That gas will be deadly. Go. Now.
Okay. I'm, I'm gonna
meet you in Okotoks.
- Can you please hurry?
- I I will.
- Just, just get moving.
- Okay.
Parker!
- Uh
- Is everything okay?
Yeah.
- Uh we're gonna go on a picnic.
- Really?
- Yeah.
- What about GG and Parker?
They're gonna meet us at Shandling Park.
But that's so far.
Well well,
just a change of scenery.
That's not bad, right?
I'm happy with the scenery here.
- Katie
- What's really going on?
It's, it's because of the fire, okay?
So we need to get on the road,
and I need you to help get Lyndy ready,
as fast as you can, without scaring her.
Okay, try to keep them tight together.
I'll lead, you push 'em.
C'mon, Amy, answer your phone.
Grandpa, I can't talk right now.
Amy, you need to leave
the rodeo grounds.
There's a tank of chlorine
gas on those railroad tracks.
If it goes up, it won't be good.
Where's Lyndy?
Lisa's taking her and Katie to Okotoks.
I'm getting Parker and
we'll all meet there.
Okay, I just gotta, I
gotta get these horses
down to the creek and
then I'll meet you there.
Amy, leave the horses!
You need to move as quick as you can.
You're not leaving our horses, are you?!
- No, of course not. I'll
- Okay.
Just tell Lyndy I'll
see her soon, all right?
I gotta go, Grandpa. So do you.
Amy!
It's an emergency alert.
Yeah, I know. Grandpa just filled me in.
We gotta get these horses
down to the river. Fast.
She's at the rodeo grounds?!
The fire's headed that way.
Yeah, I'll take care of Amy, Jack.
'Kay, I gotta go.
- All right.
- Thanks for your help, Tim,
but you need to get on the road now.
My daughter is at the rodeo grounds
and the fire's headed that way.
- You gotta get some people over there.
- I can't.
The Okotoks crew is taking forever
to get here, so I need all my guys
to make sure that tank doesn't blow.
- Just get some people there!
- Tim, don't!
You won't even be able to
get in there at this point!
With the potential of this threat,
we have decided to take proactive
and precautionary measures
of evacuating a 10-mile radius
around the town of Hudson.
Please, gather up your family members
and immediately get on a
highway out of this zone.
We anticipate that everyone
will be able to return home
within a few hours once this
potential danger has been averted.
And keep checking in for
further details and updates.
- Oh, come on.
- Thank you.
- Great job. You nailed it.
- I just, I
Okay, just make sure that we
can keep the updates coming
while we're on the road to Okotoks,
- and then we'll set up there.
- No problem.
I'll let the councillors know.
- Good job.
- I don't know,
I don't really feel like I nailed it.
No, you did. You were
calm, cool, collected.
- It was great.
- Exactly.
Look, they obviously didn't get
the gravity of the situation.
Yeah, well, um
Um, everyone, you need to
go, okay? We all need to go.
Just please get in
your vehicles and drive.
That chlorine cloud
I was talking about
it's lethal, so Do you understand?
Thank you.
Mickey!
Parker!
- Jack?!
- Yeah!
Yeah, Parker! I'm here!
I'm on the trail. Where are you?!
There you are! What are
you doing down there?
- Where's Mickey?
- I can't find him.
There was this really loud noise
and he got all weird and ran off.
I couldn't hold onto him.
Okay, well, we gotta get outta here.
I'm coming down there. Don't you move.
Here. Give me your hand,
get up on this horse.
Uh, no. There's no way I'm going
anywhere until we find Mickey.
What you heard was an
explosion, on a train track.
You smell that? That's smoke,
and that's coming from a fire
that's getting way too close
to another train car that's
filled full of chlorine,
- and if it explodes
- What would happen?
- Just get on the horse.
- Okay, okay.
Come on up.
- 'Kay, you on there?
- Yeah.
You hold tight now.
Git.
They don't have a choice, Jim.
Just do what you can. Please.
We're almost ready to go.
Yeah, that was the Police Chief.
He said a lot of people
aren't leaving. They wanna stay
and protect their homes and
their businesses from the fire.
He must have also told you
that we can't actually
force anyone to leave.
You've already given
the evacuation order,
that's all we can do.
Now, let's get on the road.
Does everyone feel
confident with the plan?
My address was way too
soft. People aren't leaving.
I knew I should've been more blunt.
Rick was way off base on our messaging.
Hey, Lou, last time I checked,
the people of Hudson voted you in
to be their leader in times like this.
Not Rick.
You're right.
You know what? Let's get
that camera crew back,
and this time I'm doing it my way.
- There you go.
- Change of plans.
Call up Middleton and any
other oil company in the area
and get them to send all of their
emergency response crews here ASAP.
- I don't care what it costs.
- You got it.
We need to set up take two
on that evacuation order,
and then all of you should get going,
but I'm staying right here
until every last citizen has left town.
Got it.
All right, let's go.
The smoke is getting thicker.
You're doing great, Lily.
Just keep moving them
along the tree line, down to the river.
- We're almost there.
- Okay.
Parker, c'mon, get in.
This says that chlorine
gas kills horses, too.
We gotta go!
But you have a trailer for them.
I don't have time to load
the horses in the trailer,
'cause I need to get
you out of here. Come on.
My life is no more
valuable than the animals.
Agh! Will you just get in the truck?!
No! The only reason you
don't have time to load them
is because you had to go looking for me.
Amy would never forgive us if
anything happened to them
and I'd never forgive myself either.
Amy's lost way too much already.
Parker!
Look, I get it.
You don't want to leave behind
your businesses, your homes,
everything you have
worked so hard to build.
Neither do I.
But we must leave.
That is what we need to do.
I know it's scary, I'm scared.
If that chlorine tank blows,
it will be nothing short
of a major disaster.
But that said, we can
come back from anything
if we have our most
valuable resources intact:
You. The people of Hudson.
More fire crews are on the way,
so you need to trust that
we're doing everything
in our power to put out the fires.
Please, do the most courageous
thing that you can do
for your family and
loved ones and evacuate.
Right now.
Thank you.
'Kay, I'll open the gate.
I want you to push them in
and we'll take them
down towards the river.
Come on, boys.
Howler!
Howler!
I'll go get him.
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Howler, stop!
Hey, no, no, Amy! Wait.
We don't have time.
- We've gotta get outta here.
- No, you just stay with the other horses.
- I'll be right back
- No, Amy. Please, stop.
Think! Lyndy needs you.
You are all she has now.
Don't you talk to me about family.
Come on.
Whoa Howler?!
- It's okay.
- Amy!
I told you, I'm not leaving him behind.
'Kay. What do you want me to do?
I want you to go around behind him,
hold him there steady, and I'm gonna try
and get a loop on him.
Okay, I'll try.
It's okay, Howler.
All right, you gotta trust me.
I just wanna get you outta here.
Ho Good job, Lily.
Bring him back to me. Come on.
You got him!
I'm gonna take him
down to the creek, okay?
I want you to ride behind
and push him. Just gently.
Good boy, Howler. Come on.
Three oil and gas emergency
crews are on the scene.
That's double the firefighters.
Thank you. That's great.
The Police Chief says people
actually seem to be leaving now.
Well, you got through to them.
Yeah, she did. Nice work.
Town council have left. I'll
stick around as long as you do.
I think it's time for us
to follow our own orders.
- You're the boss.
- Hmm.
Hey, um
Please tell me Amy got out
of the rodeo grounds by now.
I haven't been able to
get through to her yet,
- but don't worry.
- The last time we spoke,
we were at each other's throats.
If anything happens to her
Hey. Amy's gonna be fine, okay?
She's a Fleming girl. I happen to know
that they rise to the occasion
in the midst of a crisis.
Right? We'll meet up with her
and everyone else in Okotoks.
C'mon.
I can't believe Mickey
is still out there,
and it's all my fault.
No, it's not. He got spooked.
I should've held onto the rope.
Now he could die.
There must be something
about me that drove him away.
- Parker
- It's true.
Mickey bolted off just
like my parents did.
My mom picked a book tour over me,
and my dad chose the longest honeymoon
in the history of humankind.
- Come on now
- Let's face it, Jack,
they wanted to get as far
away from me as possible.
And after a few weeks of me being here,
I'm sure you can relate.
You probably can't wait for me to leave.
Then why did I come looking for you?
And why was I scared out of my wits
when I couldn't find you? Huh?
You were? Really?
Okay, okay, okay
Now will you get in the truck?
Amy!
Huh
Amy!
Come on now.
Come here. You're okay.
Lily? Lily?!
Amy?!
Lily?! Where are you?!
- Can you find the trail?
- I'm trying!
I can't see anything.
Okay, just follow my
voice. I'm right here.
Lily!
I'm right here!
Agh!
Ho you're okay.
Lily?!
Lily, what happened?!
Can you hear me? Lily?!
Ty
Wait! Ty?!
Ty?
Oh Lily. Hey
It's okay, it's okay.
- I'm gonna help you up.
- I can't
- No, it's okay.
- I can't breathe.
- Gotta get you up.
- No.
Go for Lyndy.
S save the horses.
Look at me. It will be all right.
We're gonna get out of here.
That's what Ty would want.
But you're gonna have to help me.
So I need you to sit up. On three.
One, two, three.
You can do it.
Come on, you can do it. Okay.
It's not too far. I got you.
Mickey!
Jack, stop! It's Mickey!
Mickey!
Mickey, you came back!
Jack, he came back!
Looks like he's happy to see you, too.
Hey, boy
Okay, that's enough.
Bring him over, we'll load him up.
Amy?!
Amy?!
Okay, we gotta keep
moving. Can you get up?
Amy?!
Dad?!
Dad, what, what're you doing here?
- You okay?
- Yeah. You all right?
- Yeah.
- Okay.
What's she doing here?
Come on, we gotta move these
horses across the creek.
You can ride this one, and Lily,
why don't you come and
you can double on my horse.
Come on! Hup!
No, that's right.
Foothills Pass, yeah.
North of the rodeo grounds.
Right. As fast as you can, please.
That's right. Thanks, Terry.
Hey, I owe you big time, bud.
I got us a ride. We
just gotta get these guys
out to the end of the highway there.
There'll be a transport
truck waiting for us.
'Kay.
Okay.
No, thank you, Mark.
Yes, okay.
We're going back.
- Wait, wait, wait. What?
- That was Mark.
He said those extra
crews made the difference,
and the fire at the tracks
has been extinguished.
So wait, that?
The chlorine tank is safe and uh
the the crews are moving
on to the rodeo grounds.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
- Have you heard from Amy?
- Yes. No. Uh, but, uh
my dad texted while I
was on the phone with Mark
and he's with her and they're okay.
Everyone is gona be okay.
Oh my God
Hey, hey, hey come here.
It's okay. You did it. You did it.
So I know the fire wasn't actually
at the entrance when you got there.
Otherwise, my dad wouldn't
have been able to get in.
You could have left.
But thank you, I couldn't
have done that without you.
I don't know about that.
I figured if there was
any way I could help,
it's the very least I could do.
- I'm sorry, Lily.
- No, please,
- you don't owe me an apology.
- Yes, I do.
For the way I've treated you
for how angry I was that
you missed Ty's funeral.
But addiction isn't a choice,
and I know that you
didn't choose to be away.
I also, I need you to
know that I wasn't
I wasn't just angry at you.
I'm angry at how unfair it all is
- we lost him.
- I know.
I know.
We're gonna get through
that together, too.
Yeah.
He's watching us, you know he is.
All of us.
Um, I'm gonna shove off, get my bag.
I'll come with you. I need
to check on the horses anyway.
You do know the real reason that
I came back is that I couldn't
I couldn't lose you.
You're like a daughter to me.
Closest thing I've got to Ty.
You know, Parker, today,
thought you were really
Stubborn, defiant, difficult?
Well, I could think of
a couple more words, too,
but I was gonna say brave,
despite your blatant
disregard for my authority.
I'm sorry, Jack.
Well, I will forgive you
if you forgive me
for getting mad at you earlier. I, uh
I kinda flew off the handle a bit there
and it had nothing to
do with solar panels.
I had a couple
issues of my own going on
and I took it out on you.
It's a deal.
Good.
I'm glad we can clear the air.
And, you know, you
you might wanna think of doing that
with your mom and dad, too.
You know, to tell them how you feel
and tell them what you
really want them to know.
Yeah? You don't think
that would be out of line?
Well, you do it with everybody else,
especially me, so
Spartan, hey
Amy, I did it! I rode a horse today.
You did? Really?
Well, I rode on a horse, with Jack.
But still.
Well, I'm really proud of you.
I'll tell you what
else Parker did today.
She refused to leave the ranch
until she'd made sure
that every one of these horses was safe.
Parker, that was a big risk,
- but thank you.
- No worries.
She's a good kid.
She's, uh, completely
stubborn and willful,
but, but still
Grandpa, you and Parker
should've just left the horses
and gotten to safety.
And I I should've, too.
Oh, probably, but it all
worked out for the best, so
Yeah, but what if it didn't?
You know, things are different now,
and the minute I heard
about that chlorine, I
it should've hit me.
You know, I'm not just
I'm not risking my life anymore,
I'm risking Lyndy's too.
She needs me more than ever,
and I just got caught up in the moment.
I was irresponsible and
I'm I'm all she's got now.
Well, Lyndy still has
you now, doesn't she?
Now, you saved those horses today
because that's who you are.
And you're also a terrific
mom. Don't you ever doubt that.
It was a crazy day today,
so don't beat yourself up too much.
You know, Amy,
if Ty had been here
he'd have done exactly the
same thing that you did.
The two of you probably would've
run into that smoke together.
Yeah, we probably would've.
So let's just be grateful
that we're all home
and we're safe and sound.
Boy, it's been one hell of a year.
We need a a win every
now and then, don't we?
Yeah, we do.
Hey. I'm just heading out and
I wanna thank you so, so much,
coming through all that
fire and smoke, finding us.
Well, Amy was never
gonna leave those horses.
No.
What is it with you Flemings?
I don't know.
But whatever it is,
it's rubbed off on you.
Well, Jack told me how hard it
was for you to come back here,
but you came back.
Twelve steps, right?
Getting around to the
making amends part.
You did the rounds.
I know it's a long time ago.
I don't know, whatever
you said or you did,
it obviously worked.
What do I do next?
Well, that's sort of up to you.
You know, if you're
honest with yourself,
you'll find the answer.
I gotta leave Wade.
I know I can't keep blaming him
for everything that happened,
and I should've left a long time ago.
I just keep using him as a crutch.
It's time for me to
stand on my own two feet.
- I know that's gonna be tough.
- Mm-hmm.
It will, but you're tough.
You're tough as they come.
Hey! Hey you! Hey you!
You gonna come and say goodbye to Nana?!
Mm!
What have you got all over you?
- Look at that?!
- You okay?
Yeah.
Thank you for today.
Honestly, I don't know
how I would've gotten
- through it without you.
- You don't have to thank me.
You did it all you,
you really came through.
Well, nothing can prepare you
for something like that.
You did what you needed to
do and trusted your instincts.
Lately, my instincts have
been all over the place,
especially when it comes to Amy.
I have to make things right with her.
What should I do?
I do what you did today.
You know, just be honest.
Be you.
- We went for a picnic!
- You did?!
- I missed you so much.
- Yeah.
Hey!
- Hey!
- Hi!
Your daughter was helping
us make brownies for dinner.
Yes, I can see that.
Hey, uh, can I borrow
your mom for just a minute?
Sure.
'Kay, thanks, honey.
I was so worried about you today.
I shouldn't have snapped
at you on the phone.
No, it's okay.
Lou, you had you
had so much going on.
That was the last thing you needed.
How are you?
Probably the most
stressful day of my life.
But I I wanted to talk to you
about what you said earlier.
I don't think now's the right time.
Maybe not, but there's
no good time to admit
that I've been a terrible sister to you.
- Lou
- No, it's true.
I completely threw
myself into being mayor,
into my work
because I didn't know
how to deal with it, Amy.
I didn't know how to
how to deal with just how
unfair this has been to you.
I completely checked out on you
and I'm so sorry for that, Amy.
I'm really sorry.
Hey you're here now.
It's okay.
Are we okay?
- We're good.
- Good.
That is so good to hear because
there's been something I have
been dying to tell you about.
Something you would
normally be the first person
- I would talk to about.
- What is it?
Mitch asked me to marry him
and I said yes.
You're you're getting married?!
I'm so happy for you.
Are you sure? Are you
totally good with this?
I'm so happy for you.
That is so good to hear.
C'mon, let's go inside.
I can finally tell everyone else.
I think we could all use
a reason to celebrate.
Yeah, no, um I
I should check on Spartan first.
- I'll be right there.
- Okay.
I'll just make sure the
girls haven't like floured
and sugared the whole kitchen, okay?
- Hi, munchkin!
- What're you doing here, Lily,
- after all this time?
- I came to apologize.
I don't know why I let
you talk me into this
in the first place. I
must've been out of my mind.
- What? What're you doing?
- I got a horse to exercise.
- What's his name?
- Howler.
I remember that you said that
Howler wasn't ready to race
I told Wade that,
but there was a race this
morning and he entered him.
You've gotta be kidding me.
Do you even know what I'm dealing with?
Yeah, maybe the mayor of Hudson
is here, but not my sister,
and that's who I really need!
I didn't choose to
be away from you, Amy.
I lost my son and I needed help.
So why can't you understand
that need in people
when you can see it so well in horses.
Mickey! Come back! Mickey!
911. What's your emergency?
You need to get a fire crew out here
to Highway 7 and Foothills
Pass at the railway tracks.
- Is there a fire?
- Yup.
Yeah, no, there's been an
explosion. Like a derailment.
Fire's burning out here outta control.
- Highway 7 and Foothills?
- Yeah, I would
- as fast as you can.
- Units are responding.
- Okay.
- They're on their way.
Yeah.
Hey, hey, hey! No!
No, you gotta go! I
called the fire crew.
Just keep moving.
Dad. Did you hear that explosion?
Hear it? I was driving back into town,
and it happened right in front of me.
A train's derailed, a car exploded.
- What?! Where?
- It's by the rodeo grounds.
Uh, you know, the railway tracks?
The fire's spreading fast, Lou.
You better, you better stay on this.
And, and do what?
I I don't know. Is there something
a mayor's supposed to
do in this kind of thing?
Right. Yeah, yeah,
yeah. Of of course.
Look, I gotta go. I gotta go.
What's going on?
Hey, did you guys hear that noise?
I'm trying to find the news right now.
A train car exploded near
the racetrack. Dad saw it.
Yeah, there's like a
huge fire there now.
Um, do you mind watching Lyndy for me?
- Of course.
- Where are you going?
There was a race at the
rodeo grounds this morning.
A lot of the horses are
probably still stabled there,
including Howler.
I should probably get a hold of Rick.
Well, call him from the road.
I'll drive, okay? Do you mind
- Katie? Yes, of course. Of
- Thank you.
Jack
- They'll be fine.
- No, not them. Where's Parker?
Mickey?! Where are you?!
Mickey?!
Mickey!
- Tim?!
- How're you doing?
- What're you doing here?
- What was in that tanker?
- Ah, it's just propane.
- Propane?
It could be much worse.
We're trying to nail down
what's in those other ones.
- You need to get outta here.
- No, I can help you.
I can, I can stay in
touch with my daughter.
I'll be in regular contact with Lou.
Please just leave the fire zone, hmm?
It's okay.
Lily, what're you doing here?
Well, I came to get Howler.
I was hoping that one
of the other owners could
take him in their trailers,
but no one's got any room.
There's, there's a whole
bunch of horses here.
I can see smoke! Are the
other owners gonna come?
I doubt it, not at this point.
The fire's headed towards
the front entrance.
- Are we trapped?
- No. I just came from there.
If you go now, you'll be fine.
If anything happens to this
horse, Wade is gonna kill me.
'Kay, well, I'm gonna take
him and the other horses,
there's a creek just
to the north of here.
I'll get them out that way.
- You can do that?
- Well, those are pony horses.
I'll ride one of them and push the rest.
Well, then I'm gonna
stay 'cause I can help.
- I wanna help.
- Lily, I need you
to go back to Heartland
and wait for me there.
- I'm not leaving you here on your
- Lily, I need you to go. Please!
Okay. Okay. Please be careful.
Okay.
Please tell me you're
familiar with all of Hudson's
emergency response procedures.
Yes. I mean, I read them
a while ago, but uh
It's fine. Luckily, I know
them backwards and forwards.
I've been through my
share of wildfires, floods,
- wind storms and
- O okay.
Can you just tell me what
I need to know right now?
Wait to hear from Mark
Devers, he's the Fire Chief.
- And the Chief of Police is
- Jim Parker.
- Yes, I know them both.
- Well, Jim is already setting up
the emergency control center.
Already? We don't even
know how big this fire is.
We need to prepare for
the worst-case scenario.
Okay. Well, then I should be at
the emergency control center, right?
Uh, wrong. You'd only get in the way
of all the response professionals
who actually know what they're doing.
Your most important role in all of this
is to relay what's going
on here to the community.
Tell them what they need
to know and do it gently.
- Very gently.
- What does that mean? Uh
You'll wanna make sure everyone's
feeling calm, safe and secure.
Of course, we'll have
call in town council,
in case anything needs to go to a vote.
- Like what?
- Oh, I don't know,
possibly calling a state
of emergency, for example.
Well, hey, maybe we should
all congregate at Maggie's.
Uh, Maggie's? Why?
You said you wanted Lou
connected to the community.
I mean, that's the spot, right?
Yeah, and town council
always meets here.
No, Peter's right. At Maggies's,
we can stay accessible to
everyone through all of this.
It's Mitch.
Hey, babe. Um, no, no, no.
We're all fine, we're
fine. Just just one sec.
Call the councillors,
ask them to meet us at Maggie's ASAP.
Hey.
No, it's just stay put.
The fire will be out by
the time you get here.
Okay.
Yup. I gotta go.
Yeah, I I love, I love you too.
Okay.
Parker!
Parker!
Lily, what're you doing back here?
Fire reached the entrance,
I couldn't get out.
So just tell me what we have to do.
Okay, uh you can ride
the other pony horse.
- Okay.
- We'll get him tacked up
and we'll push these other
horses down to the river.
We're still not sure what
caused the propane explosion,
but our firefighters are concentrating
all of their efforts to put out the fire
at the railway crossing, okay?
What about the rodeo grounds?
My cousin said he saw the fire
getting closer to that, too.
Well, we have more crews coming
from Black Diamond and Okotoks, okay?
So we're just, we're
gonna get you more updates
as soon as we're able. Just, please,
- everyone be patient.
- Okay, thank you.
Lou, what's going on?
Yeah, Amy, are you still
at the rodeo grounds?
Yeah, there's still a
bunch of horses here.
No, Amy, the fire is coming.
I know, that's why I gotta get them out.
There is no time. You need to
leave the horses and get out.
I know what I'm doing, Lou,
okay? You focus on your job
- and I'll do mine.
- Amy!
Amy!
There's another fire crew
on the way from Bragg Creek,
but it still doesn't seem like enough.
You know, I've got some
friends at Middleton Oil.
They have their own
emergency response team,
- including a full fire crew.
- Really?
Yeah. I mean, they're close by, too.
- I think that's a great idea.
- Of course you would.
You'd love nothing more
than to have big oil
come out looking like
the hero in all of this.
Hey, guys, can we leave
the politics aside?
Lou's right, but I do
think we should hold off
on using any private emergency services.
Why? The more fire crews the better.
This isn't like asking
other towns to pitch in.
We have reciprocity
agreements with them.
Middleton will charge
us through the nose.
Well, then we'll pay it.
Look, we have to do whatever
it takes to protect Hudson.
I know you've been
at this almost a year,
but I've been doing
this for over a decade,
and I'm strongly advising
you not to jump the gun.
Our duty to Hudson also includes
protecting its financial well-being.
Okay. We'll hold off on
calling Middleton Oil for now.
Okay.
Everybody should stay right there!
Why are you still here?
We gotta find out what's in this tanker.
We? Huh!
Man, you're just as stubborn
as you were back on the circuit.
I got all the compounds to match
these universal ID numbers in this book.
Yeah, well, they're all online too.
- Okay, here it is.
- What is it?
You tell me.
Heads up! We got a problem!
Mark, how's it going?
Okay
Yeah.
All right. Right, right away.
What's happening?
There is a tank full of
chlorine on those tracks.
If the fire gets anywhere
near it and it blows
There'll be a lethal cloud of gas.
How big an area would it cover?
They're sending us a map with
a projected radius right now,
but at least a couple
miles in every direction.
We need to evacuate the
entire town of Hudson. Now.
We need to call Lisa. And Amy is
I'm on it, I'm on it.
We can get an emergency alert
out to people's phones, right?
Yeah. And you need
to give a live address
that goes out on TV,
radio, and all social media.
Okay.
And remember, be gentle
with the messaging.
We don't want anyone to freak out.
Why not? They should be freaking out.
I am freaking out. If that thing blows,
- this could be a major disaster.
- Shh
that's the kind of wording
you should stay away from.
Be firm on the evacuation order,
but refer to this as
a precautionary measure
to address a potential threat.
Same messaging, softer delivery.
I'll get the camera crew in ASAP.
Parker!
- I haven't found her yet.
- I just talked to Peter.
There's a full tank of a
chemical on those tracks.
- What kind of chemical?
- Chlorine.
Okay. You need to get the girls
and get on the highway. Now.
What about you and Parker?
I'll find her and
we'll meet up with you.
No, we're not leaving without you.
That gas will be deadly. Go. Now.
Okay. I'm, I'm gonna
meet you in Okotoks.
- Can you please hurry?
- I I will.
- Just, just get moving.
- Okay.
Parker!
- Uh
- Is everything okay?
Yeah.
- Uh we're gonna go on a picnic.
- Really?
- Yeah.
- What about GG and Parker?
They're gonna meet us at Shandling Park.
But that's so far.
Well well,
just a change of scenery.
That's not bad, right?
I'm happy with the scenery here.
- Katie
- What's really going on?
It's, it's because of the fire, okay?
So we need to get on the road,
and I need you to help get Lyndy ready,
as fast as you can, without scaring her.
Okay, try to keep them tight together.
I'll lead, you push 'em.
C'mon, Amy, answer your phone.
Grandpa, I can't talk right now.
Amy, you need to leave
the rodeo grounds.
There's a tank of chlorine
gas on those railroad tracks.
If it goes up, it won't be good.
Where's Lyndy?
Lisa's taking her and Katie to Okotoks.
I'm getting Parker and
we'll all meet there.
Okay, I just gotta, I
gotta get these horses
down to the creek and
then I'll meet you there.
Amy, leave the horses!
You need to move as quick as you can.
You're not leaving our horses, are you?!
- No, of course not. I'll
- Okay.
Just tell Lyndy I'll
see her soon, all right?
I gotta go, Grandpa. So do you.
Amy!
It's an emergency alert.
Yeah, I know. Grandpa just filled me in.
We gotta get these horses
down to the river. Fast.
She's at the rodeo grounds?!
The fire's headed that way.
Yeah, I'll take care of Amy, Jack.
'Kay, I gotta go.
- All right.
- Thanks for your help, Tim,
but you need to get on the road now.
My daughter is at the rodeo grounds
and the fire's headed that way.
- You gotta get some people over there.
- I can't.
The Okotoks crew is taking forever
to get here, so I need all my guys
to make sure that tank doesn't blow.
- Just get some people there!
- Tim, don't!
You won't even be able to
get in there at this point!
With the potential of this threat,
we have decided to take proactive
and precautionary measures
of evacuating a 10-mile radius
around the town of Hudson.
Please, gather up your family members
and immediately get on a
highway out of this zone.
We anticipate that everyone
will be able to return home
within a few hours once this
potential danger has been averted.
And keep checking in for
further details and updates.
- Oh, come on.
- Thank you.
- Great job. You nailed it.
- I just, I
Okay, just make sure that we
can keep the updates coming
while we're on the road to Okotoks,
- and then we'll set up there.
- No problem.
I'll let the councillors know.
- Good job.
- I don't know,
I don't really feel like I nailed it.
No, you did. You were
calm, cool, collected.
- It was great.
- Exactly.
Look, they obviously didn't get
the gravity of the situation.
Yeah, well, um
Um, everyone, you need to
go, okay? We all need to go.
Just please get in
your vehicles and drive.
That chlorine cloud
I was talking about
it's lethal, so Do you understand?
Thank you.
Mickey!
Parker!
- Jack?!
- Yeah!
Yeah, Parker! I'm here!
I'm on the trail. Where are you?!
There you are! What are
you doing down there?
- Where's Mickey?
- I can't find him.
There was this really loud noise
and he got all weird and ran off.
I couldn't hold onto him.
Okay, well, we gotta get outta here.
I'm coming down there. Don't you move.
Here. Give me your hand,
get up on this horse.
Uh, no. There's no way I'm going
anywhere until we find Mickey.
What you heard was an
explosion, on a train track.
You smell that? That's smoke,
and that's coming from a fire
that's getting way too close
to another train car that's
filled full of chlorine,
- and if it explodes
- What would happen?
- Just get on the horse.
- Okay, okay.
Come on up.
- 'Kay, you on there?
- Yeah.
You hold tight now.
Git.
They don't have a choice, Jim.
Just do what you can. Please.
We're almost ready to go.
Yeah, that was the Police Chief.
He said a lot of people
aren't leaving. They wanna stay
and protect their homes and
their businesses from the fire.
He must have also told you
that we can't actually
force anyone to leave.
You've already given
the evacuation order,
that's all we can do.
Now, let's get on the road.
Does everyone feel
confident with the plan?
My address was way too
soft. People aren't leaving.
I knew I should've been more blunt.
Rick was way off base on our messaging.
Hey, Lou, last time I checked,
the people of Hudson voted you in
to be their leader in times like this.
Not Rick.
You're right.
You know what? Let's get
that camera crew back,
and this time I'm doing it my way.
- There you go.
- Change of plans.
Call up Middleton and any
other oil company in the area
and get them to send all of their
emergency response crews here ASAP.
- I don't care what it costs.
- You got it.
We need to set up take two
on that evacuation order,
and then all of you should get going,
but I'm staying right here
until every last citizen has left town.
Got it.
All right, let's go.
The smoke is getting thicker.
You're doing great, Lily.
Just keep moving them
along the tree line, down to the river.
- We're almost there.
- Okay.
Parker, c'mon, get in.
This says that chlorine
gas kills horses, too.
We gotta go!
But you have a trailer for them.
I don't have time to load
the horses in the trailer,
'cause I need to get
you out of here. Come on.
My life is no more
valuable than the animals.
Agh! Will you just get in the truck?!
No! The only reason you
don't have time to load them
is because you had to go looking for me.
Amy would never forgive us if
anything happened to them
and I'd never forgive myself either.
Amy's lost way too much already.
Parker!
Look, I get it.
You don't want to leave behind
your businesses, your homes,
everything you have
worked so hard to build.
Neither do I.
But we must leave.
That is what we need to do.
I know it's scary, I'm scared.
If that chlorine tank blows,
it will be nothing short
of a major disaster.
But that said, we can
come back from anything
if we have our most
valuable resources intact:
You. The people of Hudson.
More fire crews are on the way,
so you need to trust that
we're doing everything
in our power to put out the fires.
Please, do the most courageous
thing that you can do
for your family and
loved ones and evacuate.
Right now.
Thank you.
'Kay, I'll open the gate.
I want you to push them in
and we'll take them
down towards the river.
Come on, boys.
Howler!
Howler!
I'll go get him.
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Howler, stop!
Hey, no, no, Amy! Wait.
We don't have time.
- We've gotta get outta here.
- No, you just stay with the other horses.
- I'll be right back
- No, Amy. Please, stop.
Think! Lyndy needs you.
You are all she has now.
Don't you talk to me about family.
Come on.
Whoa Howler?!
- It's okay.
- Amy!
I told you, I'm not leaving him behind.
'Kay. What do you want me to do?
I want you to go around behind him,
hold him there steady, and I'm gonna try
and get a loop on him.
Okay, I'll try.
It's okay, Howler.
All right, you gotta trust me.
I just wanna get you outta here.
Ho Good job, Lily.
Bring him back to me. Come on.
You got him!
I'm gonna take him
down to the creek, okay?
I want you to ride behind
and push him. Just gently.
Good boy, Howler. Come on.
Three oil and gas emergency
crews are on the scene.
That's double the firefighters.
Thank you. That's great.
The Police Chief says people
actually seem to be leaving now.
Well, you got through to them.
Yeah, she did. Nice work.
Town council have left. I'll
stick around as long as you do.
I think it's time for us
to follow our own orders.
- You're the boss.
- Hmm.
Hey, um
Please tell me Amy got out
of the rodeo grounds by now.
I haven't been able to
get through to her yet,
- but don't worry.
- The last time we spoke,
we were at each other's throats.
If anything happens to her
Hey. Amy's gonna be fine, okay?
She's a Fleming girl. I happen to know
that they rise to the occasion
in the midst of a crisis.
Right? We'll meet up with her
and everyone else in Okotoks.
C'mon.
I can't believe Mickey
is still out there,
and it's all my fault.
No, it's not. He got spooked.
I should've held onto the rope.
Now he could die.
There must be something
about me that drove him away.
- Parker
- It's true.
Mickey bolted off just
like my parents did.
My mom picked a book tour over me,
and my dad chose the longest honeymoon
in the history of humankind.
- Come on now
- Let's face it, Jack,
they wanted to get as far
away from me as possible.
And after a few weeks of me being here,
I'm sure you can relate.
You probably can't wait for me to leave.
Then why did I come looking for you?
And why was I scared out of my wits
when I couldn't find you? Huh?
You were? Really?
Okay, okay, okay
Now will you get in the truck?
Amy!
Huh
Amy!
Come on now.
Come here. You're okay.
Lily? Lily?!
Amy?!
Lily?! Where are you?!
- Can you find the trail?
- I'm trying!
I can't see anything.
Okay, just follow my
voice. I'm right here.
Lily!
I'm right here!
Agh!
Ho you're okay.
Lily?!
Lily, what happened?!
Can you hear me? Lily?!
Ty
Wait! Ty?!
Ty?
Oh Lily. Hey
It's okay, it's okay.
- I'm gonna help you up.
- I can't
- No, it's okay.
- I can't breathe.
- Gotta get you up.
- No.
Go for Lyndy.
S save the horses.
Look at me. It will be all right.
We're gonna get out of here.
That's what Ty would want.
But you're gonna have to help me.
So I need you to sit up. On three.
One, two, three.
You can do it.
Come on, you can do it. Okay.
It's not too far. I got you.
Mickey!
Jack, stop! It's Mickey!
Mickey!
Mickey, you came back!
Jack, he came back!
Looks like he's happy to see you, too.
Hey, boy
Okay, that's enough.
Bring him over, we'll load him up.
Amy?!
Amy?!
Okay, we gotta keep
moving. Can you get up?
Amy?!
Dad?!
Dad, what, what're you doing here?
- You okay?
- Yeah. You all right?
- Yeah.
- Okay.
What's she doing here?
Come on, we gotta move these
horses across the creek.
You can ride this one, and Lily,
why don't you come and
you can double on my horse.
Come on! Hup!
No, that's right.
Foothills Pass, yeah.
North of the rodeo grounds.
Right. As fast as you can, please.
That's right. Thanks, Terry.
Hey, I owe you big time, bud.
I got us a ride. We
just gotta get these guys
out to the end of the highway there.
There'll be a transport
truck waiting for us.
'Kay.
Okay.
No, thank you, Mark.
Yes, okay.
We're going back.
- Wait, wait, wait. What?
- That was Mark.
He said those extra
crews made the difference,
and the fire at the tracks
has been extinguished.
So wait, that?
The chlorine tank is safe and uh
the the crews are moving
on to the rodeo grounds.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
- Have you heard from Amy?
- Yes. No. Uh, but, uh
my dad texted while I
was on the phone with Mark
and he's with her and they're okay.
Everyone is gona be okay.
Oh my God
Hey, hey, hey come here.
It's okay. You did it. You did it.
So I know the fire wasn't actually
at the entrance when you got there.
Otherwise, my dad wouldn't
have been able to get in.
You could have left.
But thank you, I couldn't
have done that without you.
I don't know about that.
I figured if there was
any way I could help,
it's the very least I could do.
- I'm sorry, Lily.
- No, please,
- you don't owe me an apology.
- Yes, I do.
For the way I've treated you
for how angry I was that
you missed Ty's funeral.
But addiction isn't a choice,
and I know that you
didn't choose to be away.
I also, I need you to
know that I wasn't
I wasn't just angry at you.
I'm angry at how unfair it all is
- we lost him.
- I know.
I know.
We're gonna get through
that together, too.
Yeah.
He's watching us, you know he is.
All of us.
Um, I'm gonna shove off, get my bag.
I'll come with you. I need
to check on the horses anyway.
You do know the real reason that
I came back is that I couldn't
I couldn't lose you.
You're like a daughter to me.
Closest thing I've got to Ty.
You know, Parker, today,
thought you were really
Stubborn, defiant, difficult?
Well, I could think of
a couple more words, too,
but I was gonna say brave,
despite your blatant
disregard for my authority.
I'm sorry, Jack.
Well, I will forgive you
if you forgive me
for getting mad at you earlier. I, uh
I kinda flew off the handle a bit there
and it had nothing to
do with solar panels.
I had a couple
issues of my own going on
and I took it out on you.
It's a deal.
Good.
I'm glad we can clear the air.
And, you know, you
you might wanna think of doing that
with your mom and dad, too.
You know, to tell them how you feel
and tell them what you
really want them to know.
Yeah? You don't think
that would be out of line?
Well, you do it with everybody else,
especially me, so
Spartan, hey
Amy, I did it! I rode a horse today.
You did? Really?
Well, I rode on a horse, with Jack.
But still.
Well, I'm really proud of you.
I'll tell you what
else Parker did today.
She refused to leave the ranch
until she'd made sure
that every one of these horses was safe.
Parker, that was a big risk,
- but thank you.
- No worries.
She's a good kid.
She's, uh, completely
stubborn and willful,
but, but still
Grandpa, you and Parker
should've just left the horses
and gotten to safety.
And I I should've, too.
Oh, probably, but it all
worked out for the best, so
Yeah, but what if it didn't?
You know, things are different now,
and the minute I heard
about that chlorine, I
it should've hit me.
You know, I'm not just
I'm not risking my life anymore,
I'm risking Lyndy's too.
She needs me more than ever,
and I just got caught up in the moment.
I was irresponsible and
I'm I'm all she's got now.
Well, Lyndy still has
you now, doesn't she?
Now, you saved those horses today
because that's who you are.
And you're also a terrific
mom. Don't you ever doubt that.
It was a crazy day today,
so don't beat yourself up too much.
You know, Amy,
if Ty had been here
he'd have done exactly the
same thing that you did.
The two of you probably would've
run into that smoke together.
Yeah, we probably would've.
So let's just be grateful
that we're all home
and we're safe and sound.
Boy, it's been one hell of a year.
We need a a win every
now and then, don't we?
Yeah, we do.
Hey. I'm just heading out and
I wanna thank you so, so much,
coming through all that
fire and smoke, finding us.
Well, Amy was never
gonna leave those horses.
No.
What is it with you Flemings?
I don't know.
But whatever it is,
it's rubbed off on you.
Well, Jack told me how hard it
was for you to come back here,
but you came back.
Twelve steps, right?
Getting around to the
making amends part.
You did the rounds.
I know it's a long time ago.
I don't know, whatever
you said or you did,
it obviously worked.
What do I do next?
Well, that's sort of up to you.
You know, if you're
honest with yourself,
you'll find the answer.
I gotta leave Wade.
I know I can't keep blaming him
for everything that happened,
and I should've left a long time ago.
I just keep using him as a crutch.
It's time for me to
stand on my own two feet.
- I know that's gonna be tough.
- Mm-hmm.
It will, but you're tough.
You're tough as they come.
Hey! Hey you! Hey you!
You gonna come and say goodbye to Nana?!
Mm!
What have you got all over you?
- Look at that?!
- You okay?
Yeah.
Thank you for today.
Honestly, I don't know
how I would've gotten
- through it without you.
- You don't have to thank me.
You did it all you,
you really came through.
Well, nothing can prepare you
for something like that.
You did what you needed to
do and trusted your instincts.
Lately, my instincts have
been all over the place,
especially when it comes to Amy.
I have to make things right with her.
What should I do?
I do what you did today.
You know, just be honest.
Be you.
- We went for a picnic!
- You did?!
- I missed you so much.
- Yeah.
Hey!
- Hey!
- Hi!
Your daughter was helping
us make brownies for dinner.
Yes, I can see that.
Hey, uh, can I borrow
your mom for just a minute?
Sure.
'Kay, thanks, honey.
I was so worried about you today.
I shouldn't have snapped
at you on the phone.
No, it's okay.
Lou, you had you
had so much going on.
That was the last thing you needed.
How are you?
Probably the most
stressful day of my life.
But I I wanted to talk to you
about what you said earlier.
I don't think now's the right time.
Maybe not, but there's
no good time to admit
that I've been a terrible sister to you.
- Lou
- No, it's true.
I completely threw
myself into being mayor,
into my work
because I didn't know
how to deal with it, Amy.
I didn't know how to
how to deal with just how
unfair this has been to you.
I completely checked out on you
and I'm so sorry for that, Amy.
I'm really sorry.
Hey you're here now.
It's okay.
Are we okay?
- We're good.
- Good.
That is so good to hear because
there's been something I have
been dying to tell you about.
Something you would
normally be the first person
- I would talk to about.
- What is it?
Mitch asked me to marry him
and I said yes.
You're you're getting married?!
I'm so happy for you.
Are you sure? Are you
totally good with this?
I'm so happy for you.
That is so good to hear.
C'mon, let's go inside.
I can finally tell everyone else.
I think we could all use
a reason to celebrate.
Yeah, no, um I
I should check on Spartan first.
- I'll be right there.
- Okay.
I'll just make sure the
girls haven't like floured
and sugared the whole kitchen, okay?
