Heartland (CA) s15e10 Episode Script

1
Previously on "Heartland":
Well, good for Ezra.
Do I detect a bit of
jealousy, Mr. Fleming?
Kinda goin' out of his way to help ya.
You have nothing to worry about.
- We dated for a while.
- And you dated.
- What's his name?
- Howler.
I'm not taking this, Lily.
If you think that money can make up
for everything that's
happened in the last year,
then you are out of your mind.
Up next, we have Platinum Bow.
$800,000, Now eight and a half.
Sold! $800,000.
Even though we don't live together,
you're both always
there when I need you.
I love my life just the way it is.
I I wouldn't want anything to change.
That's you, Mom.
Aw, is this the man in the moon?
No, that's Dada.
That's where he said he'll be.
I thought I might find you here.
Nothing like a ride to clear your head.
'Kay, spill.
Have you talked to Peter yet?
Is that why you're so stressed?
No, I haven't,
and I know I can't let
this go on any longer.
I have to let him know what I
wanna do, one way or the other.
- But ?
- But I'm torn.
I mean, that camping trip with Katie,
she made it perfectly
clear that she's fine.
Better than fine. I mean,
she's certainly not hoping
Peter and I will get
back together, so
If she's fine, then maybe
I shouldn't rock the boat.
Well, that's great,
Lou, but are you fine?
Ha. No, clearly, I'm not.
I know this isn't a fair question, but
how would you feel if you lost Peter?
Oh shoot, Amy, I gotta get to work.
Come on.
Jack! Look who's back!
Welcome home, Jessica!
No, do what you need to do, Lise.
I understand. We'll
see ya when we see ya.
Yeah, I love you, too.
Hey, thanks for the talk. It helped.
Bye, Grandpa!
Okay, so however it
was that you helped her,
maybe you can do the same with Lisa,
because this race that she's
entered Platinum Bow in,
it's got her all wound up.
- When does she leave?
- In a few days.
This is for you.
- It's from Lily.
- Well.
So, Lily and Wade separated.
Yeah, and as part of their agreement,
Lily got to keep
Howler, and his winnings,
and he's continued to win.
Look at this.
That is a lot of money.
I know. And I didn't tell you this,
but last year, when Lily was here,
she tried to pay me
part of Howler's purse,
- but I refused.
- Oh?
Because I told her that
he was not ready to race
and Wade convinced her
to enter him anyway,
and I was, I was mad at them!
And now she wants you to accept this
because she figures you're the reason
- Howler's doing so well.
- Yes,
- but it is too much money, Grandpa.
- It's a lot.
I'm just afraid that I'll
feel like I owe her something.
What should I do?
I'm glad the condo sale went well.
Yeah, it did. It closed without a hitch.
I put so much stuff in storage
that I know I'm never gonna use,
but I just, I couldn't part with it.
Well, it sounds like you had fun.
I did.
I went to galleries, I
caught up with friends,
I walked a lot. It was so hot.
I forgot what Manhattan
was like in the summer.
And how's Ezra?
Ezra was great.
I couldn't have done it without him.
I treated him to a
ridiculously expensive meal
to say thank you.
He thought all the
lumberjack photos were great,
- by the way. Everyone did.
- Mm.
- Glad I measured up.
- You did.
It was, it was sad to say goodbye,
but I'm kinda ready to close
the door on that part of my life.
Well, I'm glad to have you back.
Mm.
Um, I'm just, I'm gonna
take a shower and freshen up.
Yeah!
Okay.
Okay, you can do this. You can just
Where did this come from?
Oh, I bought it for you.
Meet Alexa.
I figured you could use
some relaxing music,
from time to time, of your choice,
just to, you know, take the edge off.
- Now, will you make the call?
- What call?
The one you've been trying
to make for the last week.
Wait, sorry, the last month.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Yeah, you do! And to be honest,
it's driving me a bit mad.
Not to mention your concentration level
is on par with my golden retriever.
Oh, wait I'm insulting Penelope.
Thanks for that, Rick.
- Will you just call Peter?
- You know what?
I wish I had never told
you anything about my life.
Yeah, but you did, and now
I've gotta live with it.
Please leave a message after the tone.
Mommy?!
- Hi, sweetheart!
- Hi.
Unnggghh!
How many days until kindergarten?
Um, four more sleeps. Are you excited?
Just a minute.
- Hello?
- Amy.
- Hi, Clint. Um
- Hey, did you get my message?
Yeah. No, I can come over
to the Centre right now.
- Okay.
- Great, see you soon.
All right, we are gonna go find Katie,
and see if she wants to
practice her babysitting skills.
Ungh!
If he does that in Kentucky,
Platinum Bow will be a star.
He's one in a million.
I certainly hope so.
Lisa, this is my cousin, Carlos.
He's working with me now.
- Welcome aboard, Carlos.
- Good to be here.
All right, gentlemen, thank you. Um,
let's give my beautiful, new horse
a little bit of a well-earned rest
and that'll be it for today.
Hmm. For Bow, maybe.
I've got another horse
I'd like you to breeze.
Absolutely!
Hey!
- Come on, boy!
- Hey, Clint, how are things?
Good, all things considered.
Your protégé has been my saving grace.
- He's really stepped up.
- That's great.
Logan's a huge help with the other kids.
He's a natural born leader,
and he's really starting to
make a bond with Challenge.
Well, I told you, he's
a natural with horses.
- I'm worried about him.
- Why?
He's talking about not going
back to school in the fall.
Really.
Says it's a waste of time,
wants to get outta
there, make some money.
I can't tell him what to do.
I'd like him to stay here
at the Centre to help me out,
but there's too many things
up in the air right now.
Have you talked to Cooper?
Yeah, I've been in touch with him.
I think there's more than a
good chance he might not be back.
I can't oversee things indefinitely.
And I think this place has
too many financial problems
to sustain itself.
- Uh
- You take that. I'm gonna go talk to him.
- Come on!
- Hello.
Hey, how's it goin'?
Oh, it's good!
- And how's this guy doin'?
- He's great.
Yeah, you know, he lets
me ride him whenever now,
- no problem.
- That's good.
Yeah. I'm just, uh, you know,
trying to get as much time
as I can with him while
while I still can.
Challenge isn't going anywhere.
Yeah, I mean, he might not be,
but let's face it,
you know, I heard the talk,
this place is goin' down.
- You don't know that, Logan.
- No, it doesn't matter.
I mean, either way, I
gotta make a plan, right?
Can't be at the group home forever.
So yeah I gotta face
facts and get a job.
All right. Come on, boy.
New guy on the block.
Lisa just bought him.
I think he's got great promise.
You take him out and
start him slow and easy,
- and then, see what he can do.
- You got it.
Chuck?
That horse hasn't been proven.
Could you not have
used a different jockey?
It's fine. He's just breezing him.
But
Oh no!
Ow! Agh!
Agh!
- Relax.
- Hold on, I'm getting the van.
- Just breathe.
- Bring the van to the track, right now.
Right now.
Okay, what's goin' on?
Well,
my jockey, Platinum Bow's only
jockey, Eddie, was doing some
extracurricular activities
today and broke his foot.
- Oh no.
- Yeah, so,
days before I have
to leave for Kentucky,
I have to find a new jockey and I was
was thinking, it's just going too
well, something bad is bound to
- That's going a bit far.
- No, it's not!
It's true! I mean, I bought
this beautiful horse -
it was fortuitous, I was over the moon,
and then, remember,
he got Potomac fever.
- But you got him better.
- Yes, we did,
and he is in peak condition.
And the new trainer, Chuck,
is amazing, except for today,
and Eddie, a perfect
match for Platinum Bow and,
and look! Look!
The worst thing that
could possibly happen,
days before this important race,
would put Platinum Bow on the map
and I knew it!
I knew everything was going too well.
That's a ridiculous superstition.
I own racehorses, Jack!
I get to be superstitious.
You're not hungry?
Uh, I'm always just a little
out of it after a long flight.
Uh, would anyone mind
if I turn in early?
- Not at all. Get some rest.
- Okay, good night.
- Night.
- Well, I'll
No, stay. Have some
dessert, 'kay? I'm fine.
I I have to go back to Fairfield
and find someone to ride my
horse. So, I'll see you later.
Wish me luck.
You know, I totally get
what Lisa was talking about.
You get too happy, things go bad.
- Oh, come on, Lou.
- It's true.
I mean, look at me and
Peter. We were so good,
and then it's all just gone kaboom.
The only reason it's gone kaboom
is 'cause you haven't followed through
- and made a decision yet.
- It's not that easy.
It's also not that hard!
You just have to make up your mind.
- Ugh.
- Make up your mind about what?
Nothing. Um, you must
be happy Jessica's back.
Yeah, I am. I'm not sure
she feels the same way.
Why would you say that?
Well I don't think it's easy for her
to come back and live in a loft
above a barn. I heard her
condo in New York was pretty big.
No, it wasn't just big,
it was like a mansion in the sky.
I went there a couple times
for corporate cocktail parties.
It was like something out
of "Architectural Digest."
Thanks for that.
Actually, I think someone did say
it was featured in a design magazine.
Our little girl starts
kindergarten in a few days, Ty.
I'm not sure how I feel about it.
It is such a big step.
And I wish you were
here to share it with me.
I love you.
- You okay?
- I'm fine.
You comin' to bed?
Can I ask you something?
What?
Are you happy?
Yes, I am happy
to be here with you.
Too happy.
You're happy living
in a loft above a barn
instead of a penthouse on Park Avenue?
Yeah.
Do you have a moment?
Yeah, yeah, of course.
Um, so I've been thinking about it,
and the more I do,
the more I realize I
might have upset you
on our camping trip.
Why do you say that? We we had fun!
We did. It was awesome.
But I said some things I
probably shouldn't have
about you and Dad.
Do you mean about the arguments?
No.
I know I said I was fine
with the way things
are between you and Dad,
but I'm not always fine, Mom.
I'm completely confused
about what I want.
Because I saw the two of you
together at the wedding
and I thought
I really did
that you might get back together.
That we could be a family again.
I didn't wanna get my hopes up and
Come here. Come here.
Hey, it's okay, it's okay.
- Good morning, Lou!
- Hey, you.
Is, uh, Tim around today?
Tim is up in the loft.
So
how are things?
- You know, life?
- Uh
Life is okay. Uh, why?
I know about you and Peter.
- You do.
- Uh-huh.
Look, Peter and I, we had
a big talk at Tim's wedding.
Hey, look not that he
needed to tell me anything -
the look on his face.
- I'm not stupid.
- Caleb
The guy's still in love with you, Lou,
after all these years.
So? Are you guys back together?
It's complicated.
It doesn't need to be.
I'm rooting for you guys.
Who's that?
Uh, wrong number.
Hey, Tim, you up there?
Hey, guys, sorry. Glad
you're both decent.
- Yeah, we are glad, too.
- You coulda knocked.
Well, I thought I did.
Hey, do you have the
saddles for the school?
I got time to drop 'em
off now, if you want.
- You should knock.
- You should get a door.
Uh, hi, it's Lou Fleming.
Yeah, hi. Is, um, is Peter around?
He didn't answer his cell phone.
He's where?
Oh.
No, no, he um he didn't mention it.
Mm-hmm.
Okay, thank you.
Okay, there's been a
change in your schedule.
Yeah, you bet there's been a change.
Complete 180.
I made the call!
To Peter.
And guess what?
- He wasn't there.
- So?
So, just when I decided
to talk to him, needed
needed to talk to him,
he's away on business.
Didn't even bother to
tell me he was going.
Did you know he was
always away on business
when we were married?
Like, all the time,
and obviously, he always will
be. Like what was I thinking?
Do you know where he is?
- Paris.
- Ontario?
No! Ugh! France!
And, and and, and he was
supposed to propose to me there,
but it turned into a business trip.
Okay, but like, how
many years ago was that?
It doesn't matter! Nothing has changed!
God, why? Why did I
think it would change?
- Lou, come on, you're overreacting.
- No. Do you know, I'm not.
I am just back where I
started, which is abandoned.
I
I can't I gotta get outta here.
No, no, no, you can't. You've,
you've got a meeting in an hour.
- Cancel it.
- I can't!
Okay. Alexa,
cancel my meeting for 4:00 p.m. today.
Delete your meeting at 4:00 p.m. Right?
- Right.
- Okay, done.
See, I like her. She listens to me.
Lou, come on, just call Peter.
Fine!
Alexa what time is it in Paris?
In Paris, it's 11:13 p.m.
Oh, shoot!
Way too late to call Peter.
Slow time. Not even close to Eddie.
I'm so sorry.
No, it's bad luck and a plastic bag.
- It's not your fault.
- It doesn't matter whose fault it is.
We're going to Kentucky
and we don't have a
we don't have a jockey, so.
Carlos!
Could you give my cousin a shot?
He's the one who exercises Platinum Bow,
and they're good together.
Carlos has a feel for him.
- Are you a jockey?
- Yes,
I apprenticed in Buenos Aires.
Oh! Well, yes, let's
let's see what you got.
Well?
- Oh my goodness!
- He's okay?
Oh, he's incredible!
He's You are lucky!
You are very lucky!
Oh my goodness, it's so exciting!
Finding it hard to believe ♪
I couldn't be feeling any better now ♪
You can't quit school.
And I don't wanna live forever now ♪
Why not?
Because. Not when you're
this close to graduating.
Look, I was never an
A-student, but I stuck it out.
And I've always regretted
not going further.
Did I ever tell you
that my husband went back
and finished high school,
and then went on to
college to become a vet?
Yeah. Yeah, Clint told me all about Ty.
You know, he um
says I remind him of him.
You do. You know
you can do anything
you put your mind to.
Right, like I'm gonna
get to go to college.
Why not? Have you ever
even thought about it?
Why would I?
You know, I'm gonna go find
Ty's college course books
and you can see how many amazing
options there are for you,
but only if you finish high school.
You never give up, do you?
I don't,
and neither do you.
"Dear Amy,
I have a hard time
writing things like this,
but you need to know how
you've changed my life.
How Heartland changed my life.
I was a kid who didn't know who he was
or what he wanted to do.
I was lost.
I didn't think I had a future.
And now I have you and
our beautiful daughter.
I have a life I never
dreamed I would have.
I think you and I can do anything.
Let's leave a legacy together.
I love you always. Ty."
All right, just make sure
he's settled properly.
I'll be right there.
- I love you.
- I love you, too.
- Wish me luck.
- The best luck.
And, um, you know watch the race!
Maybe I will.
Thank you.
Hey! What's goin' on? Where's Lou?
Hey, Peter. Uh, it
is so good to see you.
How was your flight?
It was long and turbulent, Rick.
Can you tell me what happened,
please? Is Lou all right?
Of course, she is!
- She is.
- Yes!
You told me it was an emergency;
that I had to get home right away.
I just grabbed the first
flight out of Paris, Rick.
And perhaps that's the best decision
- you ever could have made.
- Rick!
Let me explain. Her Mayorship,
she may not be the
easiest boss to work for,
and for the last month alone
she has been near impossible.
I mean, I cannot tell you how many times
I've been this close to quitting,
- and I, sir, am no quitter.
- Stop, Rick. Stop, please.
I haven't slept in two days.
Can you get to the point, please?
The point is Lou may drive
me absolutely bonkers,
but she's my friend and I couldn't
just sit here and watch her suffer.
And you think that I'm the
cause of that suffering.
You did leave, didn't you,
just when Lou needed you the most,
when she was making a big
decision about her life?
Yeah, I would've made
that decision with her,
if that's what she wanted,
Rick, but she didn't.
She wanted to make it on
her own. Do you unders
What do you even know about any of this?
Everything. I mean, I realize
it's none of my business
- No, it isn't, actually.
- Yeah, and I've tried my best
to stay out of it, I really have,
but Lou means a lot
to me and so do you.
I mean, it's no secret I've
been Team Peter from the start,
but you both obviously need
someone, an outside person
to help, you know, put things in motion.
Right.
And you think you're just
the person to do that?
Well, unfortunately, it
has fallen upon me, yes.
- I mean
- Peter?
Hey.
What're you doing here?
- You were supposed to be in Paris!
- Yeah, I was,
but I was under the impression
that you were in trouble,
or that you had some sort
of accident, or something.
Somebody led me to believe
that there was an emergency situation.
What did you do?
What I had to. I made a call.
So, you two are gonna figure
things out, face to face,
and you're gonna make a
decision before it's too late.
Before you both end up losing.
So, I'm gonna leave you to
it and you both are welcome.
Hi.
I've decided what I want to
do with the money Lily gave me.
I'm going to invest it in the Centre.
Oh, wait a minute.
From what's been said about
the financial situation there,
- I don't know.
- Not all of it.
I will put some aside
for Lyndy's future.
But Grandpa, when
I see a kid like Logan,
I know what I have to do.
Logan needs that place.
It's like it's like
what Heartland was for Ty.
That centre could be a
haven for so many kids,
if it's allowed to grow.
And Ty and I can leave
a legacy together,
just like he wanted.
And I think Lily would approve, too.
So will Clint, I'd wager.
I'm gonna call them.
Lily, hi, it's Amy.
I wanna talk to you
about your generous gift.
Amy always says a trail ride is
the best way to clear your head.
My head has been the farthest
thing from clear ever since
- you left.
- Well, I didn't leave. Just waitin'.
And I've kept you
waiting, and I'm sorry.
No, don't apologize. I told ya
I was gonna give you time to
make a decision.
Do you mind if we stop for awhile?
Yeah, sure.
Whoa.
You know, when you were here last,
that time we had together,
it was magic. I
I've never been happier.
But then, I was on my own,
and I started questioning everything.
What would it look like
if we got back together?
How would it work? The pros, the cons.
- You know me.
- I do.
But I realized something.
I realized that all
throughout our marriage,
I had this picture
perfect idea in my head
of what it should be,
what it should look like.
And I was so aware of our flaws, I
I would look for them. I created them.
But I don't care about
perfect anymore, Peter.
I mean, look at us,
we've been doing this
all of these years,
raising our girls together.
And I'm more in love with you now
than I have ever been.
Me, me too.
So, if we do this again,
I wanna do things differently.
Yeah. No, exactly. Yeah, th-th-that
I mean, that's what's
I've been saying. We
Right. We don't, we don't
need to be traditional.
We're better when we're not.
Okay, so, um
so what are you saying?
I'm saying yes.
I think we should give
ourselves a new beginning.
I think we deserve it.
And I know it won't be perfect,
but it'll be perfect for us.
I'm a hundred percent sure.
- A hundred percent?
- Yes!
- A hundred, hundred percent?
- Yes!
Are you sure?
Yes.
Thank you. I'll I'll
I'll pass the message on.
All right.
Did I leave my phone up here?
Oh!
Thank goodness. I thought I lost it.
What's wrong?
I just picked up a call.
It it was your doctor, from New York.
I told him I was your husband and
he just wanted to know why you
hadn't answered any of his calls.
Apparently, his office had left
a number of messages
while you were in New York.
And he wanted me to ask
you to make an appointment
with a Dr. Wilson, in Calgary.
Wh why didn't you
go to your appointment?
I did.
And then I had some follow-up tests.
And, uh, they said that if I
didn't hear anything,
that everything was fine,
and if I did that
you know, that wasn't a good sign.
So, the day before I left to come home,
I got a message to call.
And you didn't.
Why?
'Cause
I got a message, so.
Well, you know, that's not good news.
It's just, I got scared, okay?
Everything from my first diagnosis,
it just came rushing
back. I just, I couldn't,
I just couldn't do it.
I get it.
But that's that's important.
I know.
You know, I was just,
I was so happy. I just
All I wanted to do was
to come back here, to you,
and then, I got that message
and I just knew that
something bad was gonna happen
because obviously, I was just too happy.
Wh why would you think that?
'Cause that's the way that it works.
You know, you're on top of the world,
you think that everything
is gonna stay that way,
and then, all of a
sudden, something happens
and it's the universe saying,
"Jessica, you are not gonna
get your happy ending "
- Okay.
- "Because you because you took it for granted."
I'm scared.
We're gonna make the appointment.
And no matter what news we get,
we're gonna deal with it.
Together.
Okay. Okay.
Sweetie, you got a second? Um
- Dad? What's up?
- Um
we just wanted to uh
tell you something.
- Yeah.
- Um
We've thought about
this for a long time,
and uh uh, we wanted to make sure.
Uh, we took our time, I took my time.
Right, Mom took her
time. Well, we both did,
because we wanted to
be absolutely certain
- we're doing the right thing.
- And we are.
- We're a 100 percent certain.
- Right.
Can you guys just cut to the chase?
Because I know what's coming.
I mean, I do know, right?
Yeah, I I think you know.
We love each other very much
and we've decided to give
ourselves a second chance.
But it's not just a chance
- because we know we can make it work.
- Right.
We're getting back together
is what we're saying.
So, how is this gonna
work? Are you moving back?
No, our living situation won't change.
Your dad will stay in Vancouver.
Right, and Mom will
will stay here, of course,
but, um, but we are gonna be together,
you know, as a family,
from now on, I-I promise.
And I think we should start by
all taking a trip down to Florida
to tell Georgie the good
news. How's that sound?
It sounds perfect!
- It all does!
- Yeah?
Come here.
Well, here we are.
Look, I just wanna say a few
words about this young woman
who's, uh, standing beside me here -
a few words about her generosity.
A young woman who has been here
for this Centre since it began,
and even before that,
and now this amazing donation
to help keep it alive.
We can't thank you enough.
Amy.
First, I'd like to say
what a difference Clint made
to my husband, Ty Borden.
You changed his life.
Completely turned it around.
Well, I think, I think
your mother, Marion,
and Heartland had
something to do with that.
Not to mention the fact that Ty met you
and then fell head over heels.
Well, you were a great influence
and inspiration to him.
Don't forget that.
Uh, I don't wanna
make a big speech here.
I I just want to tell you
about something I found recently.
A special gift that Ty
was planning to give me
on our sixth anniversary.
It's a horseshoe.
I know, romantic, right?
It's engraved with the
words, "Stronger Together."
And I hope that now this
centre only gets stronger
and continues to thrive.
I want this to be Ty's legacy,
and mine.
And Lily, Ty's mom, she
she wants this, too.
And, deep in my heart, I know
that Ty would be
thrilled to do his part.
I'm looking forward to staying on here,
help things run smoothly.
Yeah, it was great to hear that.
Well, turns out the powers that be,
- they have faith in this place.
- And so they should!
I was glad. I'm sure he is, too.
Hey, Logan!
How'd you like to move
out of the group home
and bunk in here at the Centre?
Oh wow!
- Really?
- Yeah,
but I'm actually offering you a job.
- Okay.
- You know, you'll look after the horses,
and the kids who come through here,
but there is one condition:
that you finish high school in Hudson.
All right.
Yeah, no, I think I could stick it out.
You know, there were
actually some cool things
in that college book Amy gave me, so
- Yeah, I'll do my best.
- Okay. Duly noted.
I'm gonna hold you to that.
Okay, should be starting any minute!
a horse for this race.
The field is very tightly matched.
There's New Fangled,
one of the favourites.
I'm kinda nervous about this.
I don't get nervous at horse races.
Uh, they're announcing it.
- Lou!
- I, uh, I have to go.
- Sorry.
- Lou!
- Sorry.
- Lou, come on!
Look, it's startin'!
You've gotta watch this!
And they're off!
Yes.
Yeah, I will.
I understand.
Okay, thank you.
I'm clear.
- I'm fine!
- Yes!
- Oh!
- Oh
Oh!
Oh
Leaping Year has taken over first place.
- Look at him go!
- Platinum Bow is picking up speed.
- Come on, Bow! Come on!
- Come on, come on!
And they're making the final turn.
And there they are,
and it's a close one!
- Come on, Platinum Bow!
- Look at him! Oh my gosh!
And it's Platinum Bow taking the lead!
Come on! Come on!
Leaping Year is making a final push.
Go, Bow! Go, Bow!
Whoa! No, it's Platinum
Bow across the line!
Oh, I'm so happy! He did it!
- He did it!
- Hello, honey!
Congratulations! We just saw the race!
It was beautiful!
Absolutely amazing!
You remember these?
Of course.
Our second anniversary.
What do you think?
Shall we make another wish,
send it out to the universe?
To new beginnings?
Yes.
- To our future.
- The second time around.
- I love you.
- I love you, too.
- To us.
- To us.
The best is yet to come.
And there we go.
Hi, sweetheart. You should be asleep.
It's your first day of
kindergarten tomorrow.
I know.
- Are you excited?
- A little.
But I'm a little scared.
Hey, it's okay to be
a little bit scared.
But I think you are gonna be just fine.
Lyndy, look!
A falling star.
Make a wish.
