Previously on Heartland.
Oh, my.
What happened? Did you not do
a safety check on the trailer?
Give me the horse, you idiot.
Those kids arrived here
at exactly the same time
the break-ins began.
Coincidence?
I think not.
I might have to take some
time off for paternity leave.
Rick, it's amazing!
I know that you and I
have a little bit
of history between us, but none of
the trainers can handle Moondance.
I need your help.
Can you please take us on?
Yeah. Let's get him
out of the trailer.
Thank you.
Let's go, Moondance.
Come on, boy, come on.
Come on, Moondance,
let's go, baby.
Moondance used to be a dream
in the jumping ring,
and now, he doesn't even
want to try.
Well, he could be injured.
Sometimes, if a horse is
hurting, they'll refuse to jump.
No, I had the vet check him out
as soon as the accident happened.
There's nothing wrong
with him physically, I mean.
I do have a theory, though.
Okay? Let's hear it.
Moondance has always had
a big personality,
he's been kind of challenging,
but I know how to deal with him,
I don't know about
the trainer at Westfield.
He seems to not like him
and I feel like he might be
using cruel techniques on him.
What kind of cruel techniques?
It's not like I've ever
seen him do it,
- I would fire him immediately.
- Hmm.
Well, that's a pretty
big accusation.
I know. Like I said,
just a theory.
But maybe you can use your Scooby-Doo
thing to get to the bottom of it?
That is what
I'm paying you for, right?
Yeah.
So, your mom kicked you
out of the house?
Ha! Yeah, she said I was
spending too much time
in my room, or on my phone.
It was either this or spend
the day at her office.
Well, pretty easy choice,
I'd say.
Yeah, no contest.
Well, I'm glad you came out here
to help me check on the calves.
They're pretty cute.
Yeah, they're a lot like you
kids too, they grow up fast.
Hey.
Good boy.
What's Peyton Westfield
doing here?
I'm working with Moondance.
Why?
Because he's refusing to jump.
No, I mean why are you
working for the Westfields?
Her mom tried to shut down
the centre, remember?
- She called us criminals!
- Okay, but this isn't about
the Westfields, alright?
This is about Moondance.
Right.
Hey, if you don't want
to work with her horse,
that's fine, I've got plenty
of other client horses
you can help with.
No thanks.
Logan
Why is that calf all alone?
What happened to his mom?
Oh, once in a while,
a cow will reject her calf.
Especially if it's
her first one.
Is he gonna be okay?
We'll take him home.

Sign right here.
Can I help you
with something, Rick?
In fact, there is something
that you can help me with,
or rather, something
something I wanted to ask you.
- Okay?
- Would you be interested
in having coffee with me?
My treat, of course.
- Sure, okay.
- Excellent.
That is really excellent.
Stupendous!
Stupendous, that's a
that's a really strange word,
I don't know why
I said that.
Oof, is it hot in here?
No. No, not really.
No? No.
No, of course, it isn't.
Anyway, you just finish up
what you're doing there,
and then, we'll
- We'll go for coffee, okay?
- Stupendous.
Well, he's got an appetite,
that's for sure.
That's a good sign, right?
He's gonna be just fine.
I can take over for you
if you're getting tired.
No, I've got this.
Well, it's sure nice to have
you back at the ranch.
This last trip to Vancouver,
it seemed like a long one.
Way too long.
Happy to be back?
Yeah, for the most part,
except things have been
sort of weird.
Oh?
How so?
It's hard to explain.
Well, try me.
Well, I'm glad that
my parents are back together,
but when we're in Vancouver,
it just
doesn't feel like my home.
I feel out of place.
Yeah, a country mouse
in the city.
No, not like that.
If I'm honest, I don't really
feel like I belong here either.
Why would you say that?
I don't know.
Like I said,
it's hard to explain.
Well, maybe you
just need a hobby.
You ever thought about
team-roping or some other event?
Rodeo is not really my thing.
Well, Amy could
introduce you to jumping,
she's a real good coach.
Why?
So I can be more like Georgie?
You know what,
I should go study.
Can you take over?
Yeah.
Peyton thinks
your techniques might be
too forceful for Moondance.
Oh, is that so?
You don't seem
surprised by that.
I've been training horses
here for a long time,
I've pretty much heard it all.
Okay, so any idea
why the horse won't jump?
Well, it's not because of
my techniques, that's for sure.
Okay, but you still haven't
answered my question.
And I'm not going to.
Look, you know what they say about
biting the hand that feeds you.
Well, I'm not
gonna tell Peyton.
I promise, I'm not here
to get anyone in trouble,
I just want to help the horse.
The reason Moondance isn't jumping
is simple, he doesn't want to.
That horse is a spoiled brat,
just like his owner.
I know,
it sounds like sour grapes,
but give it some time,
you'll see what
I'm talking about.
So, why haven't you just
told this to Peyton?
Because the truth gets you
fired around here,
and when you get fired
from Westfield stables,
they make sure that none
of their rich friends
will hire you either,
so I keep my mouth shut.
And if you know what's good
for you, you'll do the same.
There you are.
You don't have to be interested
in rodeo or jumping,
forget what I said,
it's not important.
If I was more like Georgie,
I'd fit in a lot better
around here.
That is not true.
Yes, it is.
You know who you remind me of?
Your great-grandma Lyndy.
She always felt like
a bit of an outsider.
She used to write about it
in the lyrics of her songs.
Wait, I thought
she wrote love songs?
Most of the ones
she recorded, yeah.
That's what all
the record label folks
think everyone wants to hear.
But she would spend hours
writing in her notebooks,
trying to put words
to the way she was feeling.
She was always lost in thought,
sort of like you.
So, I'm just gonna
cut to the chase.
Oh, thank goodness,
I thought we were going
to have to sit here and talk about
the weather another ten minutes.
Sorry, I'm just
a bit nervous.
Really?
I couldn't tell.
You seem stupendous.
Will you be my reference?
You reference?
For what?
You are applying for other jobs,
I knew it, I knew it.
- I told Amy
- No, for the adoption.
I need a personal reference
and I realized that all my friends
are actually Carl's friends.
When I think of the person
that I'm closest to,
for better or worse it's you.
Please, say something.
My gosh, Rick, of course
I will be your reference.
Are you kidding me?
I'm I'm just so honoured
and touched that
you would ask me.
Well, it looks really good
that you're the mayor.
Plus, I know that you and Peter
went through this process
with Georgie.
The social worker is gonna
meet you at the office tomorrow.
Hope that's okay?
This is a big moment
for us, Rick.
I mean, I
- I think I'm going to cry.
- No, no, no, no,
you need to hold it together
and save those tears
for when I'm actually approved.
My happy tears are
officially on stand-by.
- Katie?
- Yes, Lyndy?
He said you'll show me how
to bottle-feed the calf.
Yeah, of course,
but I have some homework
to do first,
- so maybe after dinner.
- Hey, that's my name.
L, Y, N, D, Y!
Yeah, that's right.
This stuff belonged to
our great-grandmother,
that's who you're named after.
She's in heaven
with Daddy, right?
Yeah.
That's right.
Let's see what we got here.
Ooh, it looks very nice,
although we might need to cut up
some eye holes so you can see.
You know what?
My homework can wait.
Let's go feed the calf.
I thought you didn't
work here anymore.
I wanted to talk to you.
You know, well
I was just about to head out.
Yeah, I can see that.
I thought you had
a final to study for.
Yeah, I just
only have one left.
It's chemistry, but
I'm barely passing the class,
so I probably won't write it,
what's the point?
Isn't your job here
conditional on you graduating?
- Yeah, I guess.
- So, what
You're just gonna
throw it all away?
I mean, we made a deal.
Is that what you
came here for?
To nag me about school?
No, I came here because I didn't
like how we left things off.
I'm over it. I get it,
you need to cash in
on your miracle girl fame.
Strike while the iron's hot
and there's no family with deeper
pockets than the Westfields.
No, you got it all wrong.
So, you didn't leave the centre
to be a famous horse whisperer?
No, I left because I wanted
to focus on what I do best.
Right, helping rich girls
with their horses.
- Logan, no.
- Don't let me stop you.
- I got to go.
- Hey!
You don't really work
here anymore, Amy!
You can stop pretending
you care.
See if he wants
to take some of that.
- Look, Mama.
- Great job, sweetheart.
I see someone's made
a new friend.
Don't worry, I told her
not to give him a name,
she knows he's here
just for a little while.
So, what is your plan?
I'm not sure yet, I'll probably
try to graft him onto another cow,
but until then,
we'll be spending
a lot of time in here
doing this.
Well, at least
you have no shortage
of volunteers.
Yeah.
Hey, so, what happened
to Logan tonight?
I thought he was
joining us for dinner.
Yeah, we had a bit
of a disagreement.
About what?
I'm working with
Peyton Westfield's horse,
- he wasn't exactly on board.
- Yeah.
Well, can you blame him?
I mean, the way her mother
treated Logan and those kids
at the fundraiser
last year was pretty awful.
And do you remember
when Peyton posted
all those horrible things
online about Georgie?
- Yeah.
- The apple doesn't fall
far from the tree.
Look, I understand
why Logan would be upset
about the Westfields,
but it's not just that.
He said he wasn't writing
one of his finals.
What? I thought he was
planning on going on to college?
So did I!
Logan would have such a bright
future working with horses,
but not if he throws it
all away.
He seems like a smart kid, I'm
sure he'll figure things out.
Yeah, I hope so.
Peyton can be such a bully, and maybe
I should have just turned her down,
but Moondance is innocent in this
and I just want to help the horse.
Amy, you're just
doing your job.
You made a commitment, and now,
you're gonna see it through.
As for Peyton Westfield,
yes, she may be a bully,
but all I see is
a scared little girl.
As far as I'm concerned, she
needs more help than the horse.
Yeah.
Have fun at school today.
Bye, GG.
Mister Bartlett,
I'm so glad I caught you.
I just wanted to say, you were
right about that video of Lyndy.
I made way too big
a deal of it.
I'm sorry if she
felt singled out.
Morning, Miss Clarissa,
and no need to be sorry.
I'm sure the whole world
has moved on from that video
by now and we should too.
Agreed.
You know, I used to go
to school right here,
a long, long time back.
And now, you're here dropping
off your great-granddaughter.
- Yeah.
- I can't get over
how remarkable that is,
like, such longevity.
What is your secret?
No secret, I just
keep on not dying.
Mister Bartlett,
you're too much.
Oh! I almost forgot.
The kids were supposed to take on
their little grad outfits yesterday,
and somehow, Lyndy's ended up
in the garbage,
I'm sure it was just
an accident, but
you might want to give it
a wash before the big day.
Okay, bye now.
Bye.
Let's go.
Hey, come on.
Let's go!
It's not time to be lazy.
You need to work, let's go.
Come on, come on.
Seriously?
Here we go, there's something.
Come on, Moondance.
Come on, you got to work a bit
for this.
Moondance! Come on.
Well, that horse
has a bad attitude.
Oh.
His trainer thinks
he's a spoiled brat.
What do you think?
I think he's probably right.
All the trainers at Westfield
are terrified of Peyton
and her mom.
They know something's wrong
with Moondance,
- but they won't speak up.
- Ah yes,
so I guess
that's up to you, now.
Yeah, but how do you tell
someone that they're
coddling their horse?
Well, very delicately if
their name is Peyton Westfield.
Yeah. Uh, excuse me?
Now, you want a treat?
Yeah, I don't think so.
That doesn't work with me.
You need to learn some respect.
Well, I'll leave you be.
Oh, by the way,
Lyndy's graduation outfit
ended up in the garbage
at school,
it's covered with some
something real sticky,
I'm thinking maybe melted Popsicle.
At least, that's what I hope it is.
How did it end up
in the garbage?
Well, Miss Clarissa thinks
it was just an accident,
I'm sure there's
nothing to worry about.
Okay.
- Thanks.
- Yeah.
What was the Treaty
of Paris also known as?
The Royal Proclamation.
That's right.
So, this is how you study
for your finals?
Yeah, I'm a huge nerd.
Yeah, but in a good way.
Thanks.
So, I haven't seen you around
the ranch much lately.
Yeah.
I I've been avoiding
Peyton Westfield.
Never actually thought Amy would
work with that family, but
I guess everyone's
got a price, right?
Amy doesn't care about money.
Yeah. Yeah, right.
I'm serious, this isn't
just a job for her.
I used to think that too.
I basically wanted to be Amy.
But not if it means working
with people like Peyton.
Anyways, I should get going.
I'll see you later.
You're wrong about Amy.
Okay? She has a gift.
She's known her whole life that
she's meant to work with horses.
I can only dream of having
a gift like that.
But I'm just ordinary.
Although, from what I've heard,
it sounds like she thinks
you have a gift too
and I know it's none
of my business, but
it really sucks
that you're wasting it.
No, you're right.
It is none of your business.
All right, let's let's eat.
- Lyndy.
- I'm gonna go feed the calf.
Hold on. Come here.
GG says that Miss Clarissa
found your graduation outfit
in the garbage.
You don't know how it
got there, do you?
This doesn't have anything to do
with the other kids, does it?
I know that they were acting
kind of jealous
when they saw you in that video.
Okay.
Maybe it was just
an accident, then.
I'll put it in the wash and
it will be as good as new, okay?
Can I go feed the calf now?
Yeah, come on.
You know, lots of people
are good at starting a project,
but they don't follow through.
Not Rick, he is a finisher.
He's 100 percent committed
and if he says he's gonna do
something, he does it.
Sounds like he's very
dedicated to his work here.
I don't know what
I would do without him.
That kind of dedication
requires a certain amount
of sacrifice, doesn't it?
- Sacrifice?
- Working evening and weekends,
- for example.
- Oh, that's just
the nature of the job.
But but, I have kids myself,
so I like to make sure that
we keep the workload manageable
so that we can spend time
with our families.
It's so important, isn't it?
- Time with family?
- Absolutely.
So, you'd say Rick has struck
a good work-life balance?
No one is more balanced than
Rick, you can write that down.
Right, but you said earlier
that he works evenings
and weekends?
I just meant
that he is dedicated.
To his work?
You know, I have no doubt
that Rick is gonna be just
as dedicated
to being a parent,
and he's gonna do whatever
it takes to be there
for his family, no matter what.
Very nice. Just relax.
Yeah.
Oh!
Moondance!
Hey, that's not nice.
I know what you want.
Here, baby.
That's a good boy.
Do you always give him treats
when he pushes you like that?
Oh, he didn't mean it.
He's just a little skittish
from the accident,
the treats help him feel better.
Have you been giving him
a lot of extra attention
- since the accident?
- Yeah, of course.
I mean, he was traumatized
and who knows what the trainer
is doing to him.
I think it's best
that you lay off the treats
until he's actually earned it.
I just don't really understand
what the big deal is.
I've been working
with Moondance all afternoon,
he's completely
disrespectful, Peyton.
He just has a big personality,
I told you that.
Peyton, it's more than that.
What do you mean?
Let me show you.
I'm heading into town,
you you need anything?
I'm good, thanks.
What's all this?
Oh, well, you mentioned
GG Lyndy the other day and I
I saw those boxes
in my closet,
I guess I just got curious.
I hope that's okay?
Of course.
What is it that
you're looking for?
I'm not sure.
I've heard her songs,
but I still don't really know
what she was like.
Oh, she was beautiful,
of course.
Sensitive.
But she could also be fierce,
especially if somebody
wronged the people she loved.
And she'd never make a bet
that she couldn't win.
I learned that the hard
way more than once.
You said she sometimes felt
like she didn't belong?
Yeah.
You see
Lyndy always had these
big dreams,
and because of that,
she often wondered
if this was where
she was meant to be.
But dreams change and she found
her happiness,
right here.
I wish I could have met her.
I do too.
She was a remarkable woman.
And she would've been so proud
of the young woman
you are becoming.
All right, we're gonna start
with something easy.
I want you to take his lead
and just walk him around.
Ugh.
Come on.
That's okay.
Just remember, he should be
your shadow,
he should walk behind you,
not in front of you.
Come on, Moondance.
Don't let him be in control.
Let's go, boy, follow me.
Moondance, this way, come on.
Stop, Moondance!
Ugh.
Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
This doesn't prove anything.
He's always been
a little difficult,
but that doesn't mean
he's a bad horse.
I don't believe there
are bad horses.
Just bad owners, right?
I didn't say that, Peyton.
I can tell you care
about Moondance,
but you're coddling him,
and ever since his accident,
you've been doing it more.
If he doesn't get what he wants,
he becomes aggressive.
Okay, but it was
just a little push.
He's a thousand pounds,
Peyton.
Next time, it could be a lot
worse than a little push.
You know what?
I don't think this is working.
I'm gonna get a stable hand
to come and pick up Moondance.
Okay, wait, look,
I can give you
some groundwork exercises
that might help.
No.
I think we're done here.
And by the time I'm finished
telling everybody
what a phony you are,
you're gonna need a real
miracle to get a client.
Hey, Amy.
Hey. I was just dropping
some stuff off for Clint.
I just wanted to say
that I'm sorry
for saying that
you were cashing in
on your miracle girl fame.
That wasn't cool.
I just I still
don't understand
why you're working
for the Westfields.
I mean And don't say it's
just about the horse, it's not.
They have been shadowing you
long enough
to know the owner's
a big part of the equation.
No, you're right.
And for some reason, the more
damaged the owner is,
the more I want to work
with their horse,
but I should have
considered your feelings
before I took on Peyton
as a client,
and for that, I'm sorry.
It's okay.
You know, to be honest
I don't even think that's
the real reason
I've been giving you
such a hard time.
I think I'm just freaked out.
High school is ending,
you're not working here
as much, it's
It's a lot of change
all at once.
But Logan, just because
I'm not here all the time
doesn't mean that
I'm turning my back on you.
I just want to take
some more time to do what I love
and that is work
with client horses.
And I still want you to help
with that, that hasn't changed.
Thanks.
Well, I got some
free time right now,
we could head back to the ranch
together if you want.
Okay.
And you won't even have to
worry about running into Peyton.
Oh yeah, why is that?
Well, um she fired me.
Yeah.
Come on, I'll explain
on the way.
Okay.
Hey, listen,
do you still have that
Jersey cow in your back pen?
Because I've got an orphan calf
here that needs a mom.
Oh, that's real good of you,
Stumpy, I'll bring him by
tomorrow.
Yeah, okay.
You bet.
Yeah, see you.
So, the interview went well?
You you gave me
a glowing review?
Of course, I sang
your praises.
And the social worker, she
she seemed impressed?
Mm-hmm.
Oh my God,
something went wrong?
No, Rick, it's fine.
Fine is not
a reassuring word, Lou.
You have nothing
to worry about, okay?
She asked a lot of questions
about your commitment
to your job
and it's possible
I may have talked myself
into a bit of a corner,
but I'm sure it's fine.
There is that word again!
Listen to me, I'm confident
that in the end,
I was able to get
the interview back on track.
You know, we ended
on a very positive note.
Okay. Well, that's a relief.
For a second there, I thought
you accidentally painted me
as some kind of workaholic
with no time for a family.
No!
No, that is definitely
not what happened.
Okay, well, if you need me,
I'm gonna be in my office
trying to not hyperventilate.
Easy, boy.
Easy. Come on.
Okay, hang on.
I got him.
There we go. Come on!
It takes three people
to pick up one horse?
We've been having so many
problems with Moondance,
I didn't want
to take any chances.
It's only gonna get worse
if Peyton doesn't take
responsibility
for what's going on.
You're right.
Pretty much all the staff
have been bitten
or stepped on by him.
Last week, he charged at me,
I barely got
out of the way in time.
Why don't you say something?
You mean like you did?
Look how that turned out.
Are there any security
cameras in the barn?
Yeah. Paula installed some
after the robberies last year.
Okay, great,
can I see that footage?
I don't even know
if they work.
And even if they do,
what difference would it make?
Peyton can't argue with proof
that her horse is dangerous.
We'll force her to face
what's really going on.
I could lose my job
if Paula finds out
I gave you access
to that footage.
But how much longer can this go on
before someone really gets hurt?
I'll see what I can do,
but no promises.
Shh! Don't tell GG.
I know it's sad
he has to leave,
but he's gonna be a lot happier
where he's going.
He's happy here.
At his new home, though,
he's gonna have a mama cow
that'll provide all the milk
he needs to be big and strong.
- I'll miss him.
- Yeah.
Well, it's hard saying goodbye.
Just like it's hard saying
goodbye to kindergarten.
I don't want to graduate,
I want to stay with my
friends and Miss Clarissa.
Well, yeah
Is that why you threw your
grad outfit in the garbage?
- I'm really sorry.
- Yeah, I know.
It's okay.
Change is scary, you know?
And it's a big change,
graduating,
but I bet you'll love
grade one just as much
as you love kindergarten,
maybe even more.
I'm scared.
Yeah.
- You want to know a secret?
- Yeah.
I get scared too, sometimes.
- You do?
- Yeah.
Change is scary,
even for grownups.
But you want to know what else?
It's also very exciting.
So many amazing things
are going to happen next year
and you're gonna miss out
on all of them
if you don't graduate.
So, I need you to be just a
little bit brave for me, okay?
I don't feel very brave.
Yeah, well, how about
we be brave together?
It's a lot easier than
being brave alone.
Okay.
There you go.
Any chance I can borrow
some of those index cards?
I I got a chemistry final
tomorrow, I thought,
you know, maybe I'd give
your study method a shot.
Listen, about what I said
at the diner
You know, you were right,
I shouldn't have been
so hard on Amy.
Yeah, well, I probably
shouldn't have given you
a whole speech about
wasting your talents.
I'm glad you did.
It was something I
needed to hear.
You were wrong about
one thing, though.
You're not ordinary,
you're anything but.
Anyways, thanks for the cards.
- Good luck on your final.
- Yeah.
Thanks, I'm gonna need it.
Hey, Logan!
Gerald just sent the footage
over from Westfield.
- Seriously?
- Yeah,
you're not gonna
believe what's on it.
Uh excuse me? Hi.
Sorry to chase you down
like this, I just
I needed to follow up
with you about Rick.
It's really not necessary, I
got everything I needed, thanks.
No, no, I don't think you did.
Um look
Rick works a lot, okay?
I mean, that's just a fact,
but so do I.
I mean, I am the mayor
and that's more
than a full-time job,
not to mention
the two businesses
I run on the side,
so I happen to know first-hand
that the idea
of a work-life balance,
it's it's a myth.
You know, there are never
enough hours in the day,
but a good parent just makes
the most of the hand
they've been dealt
and that's what I've been doing
ever since my daughters
came into my life and
and that's exactly what Rick and Carl
will do once they become parents.
- Mayor Fleming.
- Please!
- I agree with you completely.
- You you do?
I've already approved
their application.
You have?
Great speech, though.
Thank you!
How are you today, Moondance?
- Are you feeling better, boy?
- Hey.
Hey. Amy, um
I thought I made it pretty
clear that we were finished.
I needed you to see this, it's footage
from your surveillance cameras.
It's not all of it,
but it's the most recent.
And what it doesn't show is any of your
staff mistreating Moondance in any way.
In fact, it's the opposite,
your horse
is mistreating the staff
because he has no respect.
Oh, boy, whoa!
Why didn't you say anything?
I didn't think
you'd believe me.
Everyone who works here
is afraid to speak up
and I don't blame them.
What is going on here?
Careful!
Where did you get this?
It was me, I gave it to them.
This is a major
breach of trust.
It's not his fault,
I asked for the footage.
I needed to show Peyton
that her horse
was becoming dangerous.
Well, if Moondance
is dangerous,
I would question
the skill of his trainer.
Last I checked,
that was you, Gerald.
- No, Mom, don't.
- Let me handle this.
I think it's time you and I
had a chat in my office.
You throw a lot of blame
around, don't you?
Excuse me, who are you?
I'm Logan, you accused me
and my friends of robbing
your place, last year.
Yeah, we're still waiting
for an apology, by the way.
I don't appreciate
being bombarded like this
in my own stable.
You should go.
And if you don't want
to hear from my lawyers,
I suggest you erase
that surveillance footage.
My office, now.
Peyton, let's go, sweetie.
Hope I'm not interrupting.
Not at all.
I found something I thought
you might find interesting.
What's this?
These belong to
your GG Lyndy, you know?
The notebook she was
always writing in.
She must have filled a hundred
of them just like these ones.
Thank you.
I have a feeling that
you'll find them
a little more inspiring
than an old box of hats.
Do you think Gerald
is gonna get fired?
Probably.
I feel terrible.
It's not your fault.
You know, besides,
it's better he gets fired
than trampled to death
by Moondance.
Yeah, I guess that's
one way of looking at it.
Thanks.
You know, at least he tried
to do something.
He didn't just stand by and let
the Westfields walk all over him.
Yeah, you're right.
And I wanted to say, I was really
proud of you for standing up to Paula.
Yeah. It didn't do
much good, did it.
So, um
I've been watching the surveillance
footage over and over again.
I didn't realize how bad it got.
I guess the question is what
are you gonna do about it?
Well, um
I was hoping that maybe you
would take on Moondance again.
I might, but there
are conditions.
Okay, yeah.
First, you have to make sure
that Gerald doesn't get fired.
His job is safe,
I'll make sure of it.
Okay. And secondly,
you need to ask your mom
to apologize to the kids
at the centre publicly.
Um okay.
That might be a little tough.
You know what would be
better than an apology?
A generous donation
to the centre.
I'm sure that could
be arranged.
And for the record,
I'm really embarrassed by the way
my mom treated you and your friends.
She says she's a pillar
of the community,
but she doesn't always
act like one.
So, what do I got to do to get
Moondance back on track?
Bring him
to the ranch tomorrow,
and in the meantime, no treats.
No treats, I got it.
Thank you.
"Sometimes, I look out
the window
and I see a place where
the blue sky goes on forever.
Sometimes, I look out
the window and I see you and me
running through
the golden fields together."
Whoa.
No, stop that.
No treats, not until we're done.
That's great, Peyton.
He's starting to act
like your partner, now.
- Okay, now, keep going.
- Come on.
Come on, Moondance.
- Yeah.
- I'll be right back, okay?
Good boy.
"Sometimes, I look out across
the pond and I wonder,
will it ever feel
the same again?"
Well, have they
posted it, yet?
No. No, I
I don't know
what's taking so long.
Hold on, they just
updated the page.
I passed.
- I'm gonna graduate!
- Congratulations.
- I have to go call my dad.
- Yeah.
"We were so young,
not a care in the world.
We weren't afraid
of anything, back then."
Rick? What
what are you doing?
What's what's wrong?
I got a phone call
this morning.
Carl and I were approved.
That's great news!
I mean
What do I know about
being a parent?
I'm a workaholic, I
I basically live here.
I shouldn't have a kid,
I'm not qualified.
No one is qualified
to be a parent, you just
you just do your best.
I'm I'm terrified.
You should be, okay?
Being a parent is the hardest
thing I've ever done.
But it's also
the most rewarding.
Hey
You're gonna be a dad!
"The seasons changed
and the year went by
and everything started
to look different than before."
I'm gonna be a dad.
Andy Bonamassa.
"But the sky was still blue
and the fields were
still golden.
I'm the one who's not
the same anymore."
Lyndy Borden.
"Sometimes, I ask the wind
to take me back,
to a time when I was young
and never felt alone.
But then, I look out
the window and I see you,
and I realize no matter how much
things change, I'm home."

Previously on Heartland.
Oh, my.
What happened? Did you not do
a safety check on the trailer?
Give me the horse, you idiot.
Those kids arrived here
at exactly the same time
the break-ins began.
Coincidence?
I think not.
I might have to take some
time off for paternity leave.
Rick, it's amazing!
I know that you and I
have a little bit
of history between us, but none of
the trainers can handle Moondance.
I need your help.
Can you please take us on?
Yeah. Let's get him
out of the trailer.
Thank you.
Let's go, Moondance.
Come on, boy, come on.
Come on, Moondance,
let's go, baby.
Moondance used to be a dream
in the jumping ring,
and now, he doesn't even
want to try.
Well, he could be injured.
Sometimes, if a horse is
hurting, they'll refuse to jump.
No, I had the vet check him out
as soon as the accident happened.
There's nothing wrong
with him physically, I mean.
I do have a theory, though.
Okay? Let's hear it.
Moondance has always had
a big personality,
he's been kind of challenging,
but I know how to deal with him,
I don't know about
the trainer at Westfield.
He seems to not like him
and I feel like he might be
using cruel techniques on him.
What kind of cruel techniques?
It's not like I've ever
seen him do it,
- I would fire him immediately.
- Hmm.
Well, that's a pretty
big accusation.
I know. Like I said,
just a theory.
But maybe you can use your Scooby-Doo
thing to get to the bottom of it?
That is what
I'm paying you for, right?
Yeah.
So, your mom kicked you
out of the house?
Ha! Yeah, she said I was
spending too much time
in my room, or on my phone.
It was either this or spend
the day at her office.
Well, pretty easy choice,
I'd say.
Yeah, no contest.
Well, I'm glad you came out here
to help me check on the calves.
They're pretty cute.
Yeah, they're a lot like you
kids too, they grow up fast.
Hey.
Good boy.
What's Peyton Westfield
doing here?
I'm working with Moondance.
Why?
Because he's refusing to jump.
No, I mean why are you
working for the Westfields?
Her mom tried to shut down
the centre, remember?
- She called us criminals!
- Okay, but this isn't about
the Westfields, alright?
This is about Moondance.
Right.
Hey, if you don't want
to work with her horse,
that's fine, I've got plenty
of other client horses
you can help with.
No thanks.
Logan
Why is that calf all alone?
What happened to his mom?
Oh, once in a while,
a cow will reject her calf.
Especially if it's
her first one.
Is he gonna be okay?
We'll take him home.
— Subtitle formatting by Alice —
Sign right here.
Sign right here.
Can I help you
with something, Rick?
In fact, there is something
that you can help me with,
or rather, something
something I wanted to ask you.
- Okay?
- Would you be interested
in having coffee with me?
My treat, of course.
- Sure, okay.
- Excellent.
That is really excellent.
Stupendous!
Stupendous, that's a
that's a really strange word,
I don't know why
I said that.
Oof, is it hot in here?
No. No, not really.
No? No.
No, of course, it isn't.
Anyway, you just finish up
what you're doing there,
and then, we'll
- We'll go for coffee, okay?
- Stupendous.
Well, he's got an appetite,
that's for sure.
That's a good sign, right?
He's gonna be just fine.
I can take over for you
if you're getting tired.
No, I've got this.
Well, it's sure nice to have
you back at the ranch.
This last trip to Vancouver,
it seemed like a long one.
Way too long.
Happy to be back?
Yeah, for the most part,
except things have been
sort of weird.
Oh?
How so?
It's hard to explain.
Well, try me.
Well, I'm glad that
my parents are back together,
but when we're in Vancouver,
it just
doesn't feel like my home.
I feel out of place.
Yeah, a country mouse
in the city.
No, not like that.
If I'm honest, I don't really
feel like I belong here either.
Why would you say that?
I don't know.
Like I said,
it's hard to explain.
Well, maybe you
just need a hobby.
You ever thought about
team-roping or some other event?
Rodeo is not really my thing.
Well, Amy could
introduce you to jumping,
she's a real good coach.
Why?
So I can be more like Georgie?
You know what,
I should go study.
Can you take over?
Yeah.
Peyton thinks
your techniques might be
too forceful for Moondance.
Oh, is that so?
You don't seem
surprised by that.
I've been training horses
here for a long time,
I've pretty much heard it all.
Okay, so any idea
why the horse won't jump?
Well, it's not because of
my techniques, that's for sure.
Okay, but you still haven't
answered my question.
And I'm not going to.
Look, you know what they say about
biting the hand that feeds you.
Well, I'm not
gonna tell Peyton.
I promise, I'm not here
to get anyone in trouble,
I just want to help the horse.
The reason Moondance isn't jumping
is simple, he doesn't want to.
That horse is a spoiled brat,
just like his owner.
I know,
it sounds like sour grapes,
but give it some time,
you'll see what
I'm talking about.
So, why haven't you just
told this to Peyton?
Because the truth gets you
fired around here,
and when you get fired
from Westfield stables,
they make sure that none
of their rich friends
will hire you either,
so I keep my mouth shut.
And if you know what's good
for you, you'll do the same.
There you are.
You don't have to be interested
in rodeo or jumping,
forget what I said,
it's not important.
If I was more like Georgie,
I'd fit in a lot better
around here.
That is not true.
Yes, it is.
You know who you remind me of?
Your great-grandma Lyndy.
She always felt like
a bit of an outsider.
She used to write about it
in the lyrics of her songs.
Wait, I thought
she wrote love songs?
Most of the ones
she recorded, yeah.
That's what all
the record label folks
think everyone wants to hear.
But she would spend hours
writing in her notebooks,
trying to put words
to the way she was feeling.
She was always lost in thought,
sort of like you.
So, I'm just gonna
cut to the chase.
Oh, thank goodness,
I thought we were going
to have to sit here and talk about
the weather another ten minutes.
Sorry, I'm just
a bit nervous.
Really?
I couldn't tell.
You seem stupendous.
Will you be my reference?
You reference?
For what?
You are applying for other jobs,
I knew it, I knew it.
- I told Amy
- No, for the adoption.
I need a personal reference
and I realized that all my friends
are actually Carl's friends.
When I think of the person
that I'm closest to,
for better or worse it's you.
Please, say something.
My gosh, Rick, of course
I will be your reference.
Are you kidding me?
I'm I'm just so honoured
and touched that
you would ask me.
Well, it looks really good
that you're the mayor.
Plus, I know that you and Peter
went through this process
with Georgie.
The social worker is gonna
meet you at the office tomorrow.
Hope that's okay?
This is a big moment
for us, Rick.
I mean, I
- I think I'm going to cry.
- No, no, no, no,
you need to hold it together
and save those tears
for when I'm actually approved.
My happy tears are
officially on stand-by.
- Katie?
- Yes, Lyndy?
He said you'll show me how
to bottle-feed the calf.
Yeah, of course,
but I have some homework
to do first,
- so maybe after dinner.
- Hey, that's my name.
L, Y, N, D, Y!
Yeah, that's right.
This stuff belonged to
our great-grandmother,
that's who you're named after.
She's in heaven
with Daddy, right?
Yeah.
That's right.
Let's see what we got here.
Ooh, it looks very nice,
although we might need to cut up
some eye holes so you can see.
You know what?
My homework can wait.
Let's go feed the calf.
I thought you didn't
work here anymore.
I wanted to talk to you.
You know, well
I was just about to head out.
Yeah, I can see that.
I thought you had
a final to study for.
Yeah, I just
only have one left.
It's chemistry, but
I'm barely passing the class,
so I probably won't write it,
what's the point?
Isn't your job here
conditional on you graduating?
- Yeah, I guess.
- So, what
You're just gonna
throw it all away?
I mean, we made a deal.
Is that what you
came here for?
To nag me about school?
No, I came here because I didn't
like how we left things off.
I'm over it. I get it,
you need to cash in
on your miracle girl fame.
Strike while the iron's hot
and there's no family with deeper
pockets than the Westfields.
No, you got it all wrong.
So, you didn't leave the centre
to be a famous horse whisperer?
No, I left because I wanted
to focus on what I do best.
Right, helping rich girls
with their horses.
- Logan, no.
- Don't let me stop you.
- I got to go.
- Hey!
You don't really work
here anymore, Amy!
You can stop pretending
you care.
See if he wants
to take some of that.
- Look, Mama.
- Great job, sweetheart.
I see someone's made
a new friend.
Don't worry, I told her
not to give him a name,
she knows he's here
just for a little while.
So, what is your plan?
I'm not sure yet, I'll probably
try to graft him onto another cow,
but until then,
we'll be spending
a lot of time in here
doing this.
Well, at least
you have no shortage
of volunteers.
Yeah.
Hey, so, what happened
to Logan tonight?
I thought he was
joining us for dinner.
Yeah, we had a bit
of a disagreement.
About what?
I'm working with
Peyton Westfield's horse,
- he wasn't exactly on board.
- Yeah.
Well, can you blame him?
I mean, the way her mother
treated Logan and those kids
at the fundraiser
last year was pretty awful.
And do you remember
when Peyton posted
all those horrible things
online about Georgie?
- Yeah.
- The apple doesn't fall
far from the tree.
Look, I understand
why Logan would be upset
about the Westfields,
but it's not just that.
He said he wasn't writing
one of his finals.
What? I thought he was
planning on going on to college?
So did I!
Logan would have such a bright
future working with horses,
but not if he throws it
all away.
He seems like a smart kid, I'm
sure he'll figure things out.
Yeah, I hope so.
Peyton can be such a bully, and maybe
I should have just turned her down,
but Moondance is innocent in this
and I just want to help the horse.
Amy, you're just
doing your job.
You made a commitment, and now,
you're gonna see it through.
As for Peyton Westfield,
yes, she may be a bully,
but all I see is
a scared little girl.
As far as I'm concerned, she
needs more help than the horse.
Yeah.
Have fun at school today.
Bye, GG.
Mister Bartlett,
I'm so glad I caught you.
I just wanted to say, you were
right about that video of Lyndy.
I made way too big
a deal of it.
I'm sorry if she
felt singled out.
Morning, Miss Clarissa,
and no need to be sorry.
I'm sure the whole world
has moved on from that video
by now and we should too.
Agreed.
You know, I used to go
to school right here,
a long, long time back.
And now, you're here dropping
off your great-granddaughter.
- Yeah.
- I can't get over
how remarkable that is,
like, such longevity.
What is your secret?
No secret, I just
keep on not dying.
Mister Bartlett,
you're too much.
Oh! I almost forgot.
The kids were supposed to take on
their little grad outfits yesterday,
and somehow, Lyndy's ended up
in the garbage,
I'm sure it was just
an accident, but
you might want to give it
a wash before the big day.
Okay, bye now.
Bye.
Let's go.
Hey, come on.
Let's go!
It's not time to be lazy.
You need to work, let's go.
Come on, come on.
Seriously?
Here we go, there's something.
Come on, Moondance.
Come on, you got to work a bit
for this.
Moondance! Come on.
Well, that horse
has a bad attitude.
Oh.
His trainer thinks
he's a spoiled brat.
What do you think?
I think he's probably right.
All the trainers at Westfield
are terrified of Peyton
and her mom.
They know something's wrong
with Moondance,
- but they won't speak up.
- Ah yes,
so I guess
that's up to you, now.
Yeah, but how do you tell
someone that they're
coddling their horse?
Well, very delicately if
their name is Peyton Westfield.
Yeah. Uh, excuse me?
Now, you want a treat?
Yeah, I don't think so.
That doesn't work with me.
You need to learn some respect.
Well, I'll leave you be.
Oh, by the way,
Lyndy's graduation outfit
ended up in the garbage
at school,
it's covered with some
something real sticky,
I'm thinking maybe melted Popsicle.
At least, that's what I hope it is.
How did it end up
in the garbage?
Well, Miss Clarissa thinks
it was just an accident,
I'm sure there's
nothing to worry about.
Okay.
- Thanks.
- Yeah.
What was the Treaty
of Paris also known as?
The Royal Proclamation.
That's right.
So, this is how you study
for your finals?
Yeah, I'm a huge nerd.
Yeah, but in a good way.
Thanks.
So, I haven't seen you around
the ranch much lately.
Yeah.
I I've been avoiding
Peyton Westfield.
Never actually thought Amy would
work with that family, but
I guess everyone's
got a price, right?
Amy doesn't care about money.
Yeah. Yeah, right.
I'm serious, this isn't
just a job for her.
I used to think that too.
I basically wanted to be Amy.
But not if it means working
with people like Peyton.
Anyways, I should get going.
I'll see you later.
You're wrong about Amy.
Okay? She has a gift.
She's known her whole life that
she's meant to work with horses.
I can only dream of having
a gift like that.
But I'm just ordinary.
Although, from what I've heard,
it sounds like she thinks
you have a gift too
and I know it's none
of my business, but
it really sucks
that you're wasting it.
No, you're right.
It is none of your business.
All right, let's let's eat.
- Lyndy.
- I'm gonna go feed the calf.
Hold on. Come here.
GG says that Miss Clarissa
found your graduation outfit
in the garbage.
You don't know how it
got there, do you?
This doesn't have anything to do
with the other kids, does it?
I know that they were acting
kind of jealous
when they saw you in that video.
Okay.
Maybe it was just
an accident, then.
I'll put it in the wash and
it will be as good as new, okay?
Can I go feed the calf now?
Yeah, come on.
You know, lots of people
are good at starting a project,
but they don't follow through.
Not Rick, he is a finisher.
He's 100 percent committed
and if he says he's gonna do
something, he does it.
Sounds like he's very
dedicated to his work here.
I don't know what
I would do without him.
That kind of dedication
requires a certain amount
of sacrifice, doesn't it?
- Sacrifice?
- Working evening and weekends,
- for example.
- Oh, that's just
the nature of the job.
But but, I have kids myself,
so I like to make sure that
we keep the workload manageable
so that we can spend time
with our families.
It's so important, isn't it?
- Time with family?
- Absolutely.
So, you'd say Rick has struck
a good work-life balance?
No one is more balanced than
Rick, you can write that down.
Right, but you said earlier
that he works evenings
and weekends?
I just meant
that he is dedicated.
To his work?
You know, I have no doubt
that Rick is gonna be just
as dedicated
to being a parent,
and he's gonna do whatever
it takes to be there
for his family, no matter what.
Very nice. Just relax.
Yeah.
Oh!
Moondance!
Hey, that's not nice.
I know what you want.
Here, baby.
That's a good boy.
Do you always give him treats
when he pushes you like that?
Oh, he didn't mean it.
He's just a little skittish
from the accident,
the treats help him feel better.
Have you been giving him
a lot of extra attention
- since the accident?
- Yeah, of course.
I mean, he was traumatized
and who knows what the trainer
is doing to him.
I think it's best
that you lay off the treats
until he's actually earned it.
I just don't really understand
what the big deal is.
I've been working
with Moondance all afternoon,
he's completely
disrespectful, Peyton.
He just has a big personality,
I told you that.
Peyton, it's more than that.
What do you mean?
Let me show you.
I'm heading into town,
you you need anything?
I'm good, thanks.
What's all this?
Oh, well, you mentioned
GG Lyndy the other day and I
I saw those boxes
in my closet,
I guess I just got curious.
I hope that's okay?
Of course.
What is it that
you're looking for?
I'm not sure.
I've heard her songs,
but I still don't really know
what she was like.
Oh, she was beautiful,
of course.
Sensitive.
But she could also be fierce,
especially if somebody
wronged the people she loved.
And she'd never make a bet
that she couldn't win.
I learned that the hard
way more than once.
You said she sometimes felt
like she didn't belong?
Yeah.
You see
Lyndy always had these
big dreams,
and because of that,
she often wondered
if this was where
she was meant to be.
But dreams change and she found
her happiness,
right here.
I wish I could have met her.
I do too.
She was a remarkable woman.
And she would've been so proud
of the young woman
you are becoming.
All right, we're gonna start
with something easy.
I want you to take his lead
and just walk him around.
Ugh.
Come on.
That's okay.
Just remember, he should be
your shadow,
he should walk behind you,
not in front of you.
Come on, Moondance.
Don't let him be in control.
Let's go, boy, follow me.
Moondance, this way, come on.
Stop, Moondance!
Ugh.
Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
This doesn't prove anything.
He's always been
a little difficult,
but that doesn't mean
he's a bad horse.
I don't believe there
are bad horses.
Just bad owners, right?
I didn't say that, Peyton.
I can tell you care
about Moondance,
but you're coddling him,
and ever since his accident,
you've been doing it more.
If he doesn't get what he wants,
he becomes aggressive.
Okay, but it was
just a little push.
He's a thousand pounds,
Peyton.
Next time, it could be a lot
worse than a little push.
You know what?
I don't think this is working.
I'm gonna get a stable hand
to come and pick up Moondance.
Okay, wait, look,
I can give you
some groundwork exercises
that might help.
No.
I think we're done here.
And by the time I'm finished
telling everybody
what a phony you are,
you're gonna need a real
miracle to get a client.
Hey, Amy.
Hey. I was just dropping
some stuff off for Clint.
I just wanted to say
that I'm sorry
for saying that
you were cashing in
on your miracle girl fame.
That wasn't cool.
I just I still
don't understand
why you're working
for the Westfields.
I mean And don't say it's
just about the horse, it's not.
They have been shadowing you
long enough
to know the owner's
a big part of the equation.
No, you're right.
And for some reason, the more
damaged the owner is,
the more I want to work
with their horse,
but I should have
considered your feelings
before I took on Peyton
as a client,
and for that, I'm sorry.
It's okay.
You know, to be honest
I don't even think that's
the real reason
I've been giving you
such a hard time.
I think I'm just freaked out.
High school is ending,
you're not working here
as much, it's
It's a lot of change
all at once.
But Logan, just because
I'm not here all the time
doesn't mean that
I'm turning my back on you.
I just want to take
some more time to do what I love
and that is work
with client horses.
And I still want you to help
with that, that hasn't changed.
Thanks.
Well, I got some
free time right now,
we could head back to the ranch
together if you want.
Okay.
And you won't even have to
worry about running into Peyton.
Oh yeah, why is that?
Well, um she fired me.
Yeah.
Come on, I'll explain
on the way.
Okay.
Hey, listen,
do you still have that
Jersey cow in your back pen?
Because I've got an orphan calf
here that needs a mom.
Oh, that's real good of you,
Stumpy, I'll bring him by
tomorrow.
Yeah, okay.
You bet.
Yeah, see you.
So, the interview went well?
You you gave me
a glowing review?
Of course, I sang
your praises.
And the social worker, she
she seemed impressed?
Mm-hmm.
Oh my God,
something went wrong?
No, Rick, it's fine.
Fine is not
a reassuring word, Lou.
You have nothing
to worry about, okay?
She asked a lot of questions
about your commitment
to your job
and it's possible
I may have talked myself
into a bit of a corner,
but I'm sure it's fine.
There is that word again!
Listen to me, I'm confident
that in the end,
I was able to get
the interview back on track.
You know, we ended
on a very positive note.
Okay. Well, that's a relief.
For a second there, I thought
you accidentally painted me
as some kind of workaholic
with no time for a family.
No!
No, that is definitely
not what happened.
Okay, well, if you need me,
I'm gonna be in my office
trying to not hyperventilate.
Easy, boy.
Easy. Come on.
Okay, hang on.
I got him.
There we go. Come on!
It takes three people
to pick up one horse?
We've been having so many
problems with Moondance,
I didn't want
to take any chances.
It's only gonna get worse
if Peyton doesn't take
responsibility
for what's going on.
You're right.
Pretty much all the staff
have been bitten
or stepped on by him.
Last week, he charged at me,
I barely got
out of the way in time.
Why don't you say something?
You mean like you did?
Look how that turned out.
Are there any security
cameras in the barn?
Yeah. Paula installed some
after the robberies last year.
Okay, great,
can I see that footage?
I don't even know
if they work.
And even if they do,
what difference would it make?
Peyton can't argue with proof
that her horse is dangerous.
We'll force her to face
what's really going on.
I could lose my job
if Paula finds out
I gave you access
to that footage.
But how much longer can this go on
before someone really gets hurt?
I'll see what I can do,
but no promises.
Shh! Don't tell GG.
I know it's sad
he has to leave,
but he's gonna be a lot happier
where he's going.
He's happy here.
At his new home, though,
he's gonna have a mama cow
that'll provide all the milk
he needs to be big and strong.
- I'll miss him.
- Yeah.
Well, it's hard saying goodbye.
Just like it's hard saying
goodbye to kindergarten.
I don't want to graduate,
I want to stay with my
friends and Miss Clarissa.
Well, yeah
Is that why you threw your
grad outfit in the garbage?
- I'm really sorry.
- Yeah, I know.
It's okay.
Change is scary, you know?
And it's a big change,
graduating,
but I bet you'll love
grade one just as much
as you love kindergarten,
maybe even more.
I'm scared.
Yeah.
- You want to know a secret?
- Yeah.
I get scared too, sometimes.
- You do?
- Yeah.
Change is scary,
even for grownups.
But you want to know what else?
It's also very exciting.
So many amazing things
are going to happen next year
and you're gonna miss out
on all of them
if you don't graduate.
So, I need you to be just a
little bit brave for me, okay?
I don't feel very brave.
Yeah, well, how about
we be brave together?
It's a lot easier than
being brave alone.
Okay.
There you go.
Any chance I can borrow
some of those index cards?
I I got a chemistry final
tomorrow, I thought,
you know, maybe I'd give
your study method a shot.
Listen, about what I said
at the diner
You know, you were right,
I shouldn't have been
so hard on Amy.
Yeah, well, I probably
shouldn't have given you
a whole speech about
wasting your talents.
I'm glad you did.
It was something I
needed to hear.
You were wrong about
one thing, though.
You're not ordinary,
you're anything but.
Anyways, thanks for the cards.
- Good luck on your final.
- Yeah.
Thanks, I'm gonna need it.
Hey, Logan!
Gerald just sent the footage
over from Westfield.
- Seriously?
- Yeah,
you're not gonna
believe what's on it.
Uh excuse me? Hi.
Sorry to chase you down
like this, I just
I needed to follow up
with you about Rick.
It's really not necessary, I
got everything I needed, thanks.
No, no, I don't think you did.
Um look
Rick works a lot, okay?
I mean, that's just a fact,
but so do I.
I mean, I am the mayor
and that's more
than a full-time job,
not to mention
the two businesses
I run on the side,
so I happen to know first-hand
that the idea
of a work-life balance,
it's it's a myth.
You know, there are never
enough hours in the day,
but a good parent just makes
the most of the hand
they've been dealt
and that's what I've been doing
ever since my daughters
came into my life and
and that's exactly what Rick and Carl
will do once they become parents.
- Mayor Fleming.
- Please!
- I agree with you completely.
- You you do?
I've already approved
their application.
You have?
Great speech, though.
Thank you!
How are you today, Moondance?
- Are you feeling better, boy?
- Hey.
Hey. Amy, um
I thought I made it pretty
clear that we were finished.
I needed you to see this, it's footage
from your surveillance cameras.
It's not all of it,
but it's the most recent.
And what it doesn't show is any of your
staff mistreating Moondance in any way.
In fact, it's the opposite,
your horse
is mistreating the staff
because he has no respect.
Oh, boy, whoa!
Why didn't you say anything?
I didn't think
you'd believe me.
Everyone who works here
is afraid to speak up
and I don't blame them.
What is going on here?
Careful!
Where did you get this?
It was me, I gave it to them.
This is a major
breach of trust.
It's not his fault,
I asked for the footage.
I needed to show Peyton
that her horse
was becoming dangerous.
Well, if Moondance
is dangerous,
I would question
the skill of his trainer.
Last I checked,
that was you, Gerald.
- No, Mom, don't.
- Let me handle this.
I think it's time you and I
had a chat in my office.
You throw a lot of blame
around, don't you?
Excuse me, who are you?
I'm Logan, you accused me
and my friends of robbing
your place, last year.
Yeah, we're still waiting
for an apology, by the way.
I don't appreciate
being bombarded like this
in my own stable.
You should go.
And if you don't want
to hear from my lawyers,
I suggest you erase
that surveillance footage.
My office, now.
Peyton, let's go, sweetie.
Hope I'm not interrupting.
Not at all.
I found something I thought
you might find interesting.
What's this?
These belong to
your GG Lyndy, you know?
The notebook she was
always writing in.
She must have filled a hundred
of them just like these ones.
Thank you.
I have a feeling that
you'll find them
a little more inspiring
than an old box of hats.
Do you think Gerald
is gonna get fired?
Probably.
I feel terrible.
It's not your fault.
You know, besides,
it's better he gets fired
than trampled to death
by Moondance.
Yeah, I guess that's
one way of looking at it.
Thanks.
You know, at least he tried
to do something.
He didn't just stand by and let
the Westfields walk all over him.
Yeah, you're right.
And I wanted to say, I was really
proud of you for standing up to Paula.
Yeah. It didn't do
much good, did it.
So, um
I've been watching the surveillance
footage over and over again.
I didn't realize how bad it got.
I guess the question is what
are you gonna do about it?
Well, um
I was hoping that maybe you
would take on Moondance again.
I might, but there
are conditions.
Okay, yeah.
First, you have to make sure
that Gerald doesn't get fired.
His job is safe,
I'll make sure of it.
Okay. And secondly,
you need to ask your mom
to apologize to the kids
at the centre publicly.
Um okay.
That might be a little tough.
You know what would be
better than an apology?
A generous donation
to the centre.
I'm sure that could
be arranged.
And for the record,
I'm really embarrassed by the way
my mom treated you and your friends.
She says she's a pillar
of the community,
but she doesn't always
act like one.
So, what do I got to do to get
Moondance back on track?
Bring him
to the ranch tomorrow,
and in the meantime, no treats.
No treats, I got it.
Thank you.
"Sometimes, I look out
the window
and I see a place where
the blue sky goes on forever.
Sometimes, I look out
the window and I see you and me
running through
the golden fields together."
Whoa.
No, stop that.
No treats, not until we're done.
That's great, Peyton.
He's starting to act
like your partner, now.
- Okay, now, keep going.
- Come on.
Come on, Moondance.
- Yeah.
- I'll be right back, okay?
Good boy.
"Sometimes, I look out across
the pond and I wonder,
will it ever feel
the same again?"
Well, have they
posted it, yet?
No. No, I
I don't know
what's taking so long.
Hold on, they just
updated the page.
I passed.
- I'm gonna graduate!
- Congratulations.
- I have to go call my dad.
- Yeah.
"We were so young,
not a care in the world.
We weren't afraid
of anything, back then."
Rick? What
what are you doing?
What's what's wrong?
I got a phone call
this morning.
Carl and I were approved.
That's great news!
I mean
What do I know about
being a parent?
I'm a workaholic, I
I basically live here.
I shouldn't have a kid,
I'm not qualified.
No one is qualified
to be a parent, you just
you just do your best.
I'm I'm terrified.
You should be, okay?
Being a parent is the hardest
thing I've ever done.
But it's also
the most rewarding.
Hey
You're gonna be a dad!
"The seasons changed
and the year went by
and everything started
to look different than before."
I'm gonna be a dad.
Andy Bonamassa.
"But the sky was still blue
and the fields were
still golden.
I'm the one who's not
the same anymore."
Lyndy Borden.
"Sometimes, I ask the wind
to take me back,
to a time when I was young
and never felt alone.
But then, I look out
the window and I see you,
and I realize no matter how much
things change, I'm home."
