Heartland (CA) s16e09 Episode Script
True Colours, New Tricks
1
- Previously on Heartland.
- If Finn is anything like
his granddad, he's not worth
your anger or your time.
- I'd just walk away.
- Hudson is gonna be
crowded with evacuees within
hours. I mean, of all the times
for Lou to be absent again.
Uh,
everything is fine here,
just fine, under control.
Okay. Look, I am so sorry,
- I can't be there.
- Ezra put my name forward
to shoot an advertising campaign
for some big designer,
Grayson Bolt.
Supposed to be
a big up and comer,
- like the next Ralph Lauren.
- I got the gig!
Grayson said they were exactly
what he was looking for.
(guitar music)
Good boy.

(horse snorts)
(horse neighs)
That's it. Come on.
(clicking her tongue)
Good boy.
(horse snorts)
Why someone wants
to turn a bronc
into anything but a bronc
is beyond me.
Well, he only bucked a little
in our first session.
He's really smart, Grandpa,
and he wants to try.
Well, weaving
around a few logs,
that doesn't prove he can be
a reliable trail horse.
It's been a long time
since you've been worried
about one of my client horses.
I'm not worried
about the horse;
I'm worried about you.
You be careful.
I will.
Grayson called yesterday
with an update
and he's weeks behind
on his designs.
I thought the guy
was supposed to be
- the new Ralph Lauren.
- He's amazing, but he's
creatively blocked,
and if he doesn't finish
the collection,
then I have nothing to shoot.
So I invited him to Heartland.
Okay, that's good.
Sounds a good plan.
I'm busy with the rodeo school
all week every day,
so next weekend.
Well, you know, he was
thinking a little earlier.
(car honks twice)
He just called from the road.
He took the first flight out
this morning.
I'm sorry. I love you.
Hello, country living!
(Jessica): Hahaha!
♪♪♪
- Hello! Welcome!
- Ohhh!
- Hi.
- Hello, gorgeous!
(both laughing)
- Aaah!
- Oh, it's so good to see you.
- You too. You too.
- I'm so glad you're here.
- (Grayson): Thank you.
- (Jessica): Ah, of course.
(Grayson chuckles)
♪♪♪
Oh, my God!
Ezra, what are
- you doing here?
- Surprise!
(Ezra laughs)
- Well
- Hi, Tim.

And at
the break of day ♪
You sink into a dream ♪
You dreamer ♪
You dreamer ♪

— Subtitle formatting by Alice —
You'd given us
a little bit of warning,
we would have had
lunch waiting.
No, I like
to surprise people.
No chance to tidy up.
We're honest.
Thanks.
So what are you
doing here, Ezra?
Ezra is babysitting.
He's an investor
in my new label,
so he came to make sure
that his investment gets
his creative groove back.
You're putting money
into the new line?
Come on now, I'm also here
for moral support
and to see my best friend.
It's all right that
I'm here, isn't it?
Yes, of course.
Of course it is.
It's lovely that you're here.
We're gonna get you both set up
- at the dude ranch.
- Is that her?
- Yeah.
- The horse whisperer, yeah?
Yeah, yeah.
That's Amy, my daughter. She
- You'll get used to him.
- You'll get used to him.
(Ezra and Jessica laughing)
(together): Cheers!
Alexa, what is the weather
forecast for Saturday?
(male voice):
The forecast is sunny with
cloudy periods
and 18 degrees Celsius.
Why does your Alexa sound
like Crocodile Dundee?
Because I like
the soothing laid-back tones
- of an Australian accent.
- Ha.
I'll try not to take
that personally.
Can we double-check your
calendar? It says that there's
- a town event on Saturday.
- Yeah, there is.
It's a, um, thank you lunch
at Maggie's
for the flood volunteers.
Well, this is the first
I'm hearing of it.
I definitely told you
about it, didn't I?
Anyway, if you have plans,
cancel them. I need
- my CAO.
- Of course, but get me
up to speed.
Who are the honourees?
It'll have to be later;
I have a meeting with AgriTech.
AgriTech, but I've been
in talks with them for weeks.
They might sponsor one of
our new charity initiatives.
Yeah, and I'm gonna
close the deal.
You know, there is something
you can handle for me:
Lonny Hardwick.
He's been emailing for weeks
about the town flower pots,
and I cannot take another
five-page email about mulch.
You want me
to negotiate with the
florist?
(Amy): Grayson Bolt,
I've heard a lot about you.
- Ditto.
- You're here to help Jessica?
I thought she was going to
New York for that photoshoot.
Uh, well, there may
not be a photoshoot.
I sit down to sketch and
nothing.
Jessica thought
a change of scenery might help,
- so here I am.
- You spent
- much time around horses?
- Every summer
at my grandparents' farm
till I was 17.
- Loved it.
- Hmm.
And then I went away
to college in the U.S.,
moved to New York.
Haven't ridden since.
Hmm. Well, maybe it's time
you start back up.
I usually find that a long ride
helps me clear my head.
Okay.
(sighs)
(indistinct song
playing in the background)
Why isn't
Rick here helping?
Because this is
one event where I need
Rick to be hands off
and take a break.
Sandwiches are finished.
You know, Parker and I were
part of the flood relief too;
- shouldn't we get a break?
- You and Parker were
absolutely wonderful, and you're
still serving sandwiches.
- Fine. We're taking 15.
- Great.
Rick? What are you doing here?
Lonny had
some truly fabulous ideas for
- the town's autumn flower pots.
- Okay.
And he gave me roses.
I thought we could use them
for the luncheon.
Oooh!
"Guest of honour."
Who might that be?
- It's a surprise.
- Is it the CEO of AgriTech?
- (Lou sighs)
- What do you not understand
about surprise, Rick?
Look, I have this
all under control. You just
show up with the guests, okay?
Oh, but I thought
they would look really cute
in little mason jars.
You're gonna melt your eyes.
Sabrina Lafleur
texted me.
Sabrina?
Like, the coolest girl
in school, Sabrina?
I didn't know
you were even friends.
Neither did I.
He does not look happy.
What's wrong, Rick?
Your mother is shutting me out
of this event entirely.
Seems like she's lost
confidence in me.
She's been taking
over meetings, giving me
- ridiculous tasks at the office.
- Well, we told her
how amazing you were when she
was away looking after Georgie.
Could we have made him
sound too amazing?
- Maybe Lou's jealous.
- I don't think she loved you
being on the front page
of the paper.
Clearly, I need
to remind her
that what's important to her
is important to me.
Katie darling, I need
your key to Maggie's.
(horse neighs)
Mmm.
You do eat meat, right?
Hmm not usually.
But then again,
I don't usually eat carbs
or dairy or sugar
or anything for pleasure.
So what's left? Lettuce?
New York fashion crowd, you
know, they love their roughage.
- I won't tell if you don't.
- Oh, thank you.
(Grayson chuckles)
Nothing to see.
(Jessica chuckles)
Thank you for making
Grayson feel so welcome.
I like the guy.
So you really
didn't know
that Ezra was an investor
in Grayson's label?
No, I didn't.
Okay. Well, I don't love
the fact that my wife is
in business with her ex.
Okay, one, he is not my ex,
we went on a few dates.
And two, I'm not
really thrilled
about him being
financially involved either.
Makes me think
that the only reason
that I got the job in the first place
was because Ezra opened his wallet.
You got the job
fair and square.
You deserved it.
So, we'll do
what we have to do
to get Grayson
back to work.
And Ezra?
He's part of the team, so
(both chuckle)
so he's welcome too.
Thank you. Come on.
- Thank you.
- Mm-hmm.
- Ah. Thanks, Tim.
- (Jack): So you're Grayson?
- Mm-hmm.
- Pleasure to meet you.
- Grab a seat.
- Thank you.
Mommy, look.
This is my new dress
for my new school.
- Oh classic silhouette!
- Classic "sil-oh-wet"?
(Amy): Haha! Honey, you can't
wear this, okay?
Look how stained it is.
We'll find you
a new one, okay?
But it's special
for my first day.
Oh, indeed,
you have excellent taste.
So no matter what you decide
to wear on the first day,
you're gonna look amazing.
He's right. Come on,
let's find another one.
(woman): Hello.
Lou, where are
the girls?
They're upstairs.
Something has them in a tizzy.
- Grayson Bolt, right?
- Mm-hmm.
I've heard your new line
is supposed to sell out
before it hits the rack.
(Lou chuckles)
It's such a pleasure
to meet you.
This looks great,
I'm starving.
I bet Sabrina wants to join
the Social Justice Committee.
Or she wants to invite you
to her end of the summer
pool party.
It's always this weekend.
Maybe this year
will be different.
I can make new friends,
expand my network.
Still nothing.
So, what do you have planned
for your creative retreat?
- Well, nothing yet.
- I have an idea.
I'd love to do
an overnight trail ride.
Hmm? You know,
sleep under the stars,
really connect
with the authentic
cowboy lifestyle. Yeah?
Oh Haha!
An overnight,
that sounds like a
like a lot of organizing.
We don't want to put you out.
I think
if Jack and Amy ride along,
it shouldn't be a problem.
Amy, what do you say?
You know,
I've been told
that long rides
can really clear the mind.
Yeah. Actually,
your timing is perfect.
I have this trail horse,
Vegas, and I need
to put some miles on him,
so I think yes
as long as you and Katie
can pick Lyndy up from
her day camp and look after her.
Yeah, yeah. I wish
I could come, but I have
- this luncheon at Maggie's.
- Yeah, okay. Grandpa?
Nah. I got plenty to do
around here.
No, no, no, no.
Jack, you have to come along.
It wouldn't be
the same without you.
Well, there wouldn't be
any of that
what's it called,
glamour camping.
Grandpa, I think
you mean "glamping."
In your case, you might
want to call it "gramping."
Whatever.
None of that.
If you want
the authentic cowboy
experience, it'll be a long ride
and cold beans
around a campfire.
Big sky, fresh air,
cold beans?
This is exactly the holiday
I've been looking for.
Personally, I prefer
memory foam and Merlot.
♪♪♪
Okay. We ride out first thing.
Hi. You've reached
Finn Cotter. Leave a message,
and I'll get back to you.
(beep)
Finn, uh, it's Amy. Um,
I was just calling
to remind you
about those invoices
that you owe to the Centre.
And I guess just get them in,
so that Clint can
write you a cheque.
Hope you're doing well.
Um
I just want you to know I
I've been thinking about you.
Uh, uh Goodbye.
(beep)
I, uh I didn't know
you were up so late.
Yeah. Yeah,
I'm just tuning up my saddle
and getting ready
for tomorrow.
Listen.
Amy, I, uh
Well, I know
that you wanna
take that old bronc
on the ride tomorrow,
but he's still pretty green
- as a trail horse and–
- Yeah, well,
he's gonna stay green
till I get some miles
put on him.
We'll be okay, Grandpa.
Well, I hope you know
what you're doing.
♪♪♪
Your horse likes
to eat grass,
so if he puts his head down,
give him a kick up.
Jess and I have
skied, scuba-dived,
biked the coast
of Ireland;
I think I can
handle this. Come on.
All right. So you want to make
sure this is nice and tight.
Now, this is
one of our dude ranch horses,
so he is very quiet and safe.
Okay. Good
- because I'm a little nervous.
- Oh, you'll be fine.
Even if you don't remember,
your muscles will.
- Okay.
- Haha!
Ah, okay.
Well, Vegas is taking things
all in stride.
Oh, well, just give
yourself plenty of room
and stay alert
in case he decides
to test you.
(guitar music)
Okay, girls, let's hustle.
We are behind schedule.
(cellphone chimes)
(vehicle doors closing)
Hey, you forgot
your phone.
Oh. Thanks.
Are you okay?
Did Sabrina text you back yet?
I'm fine. No texts.
No nothing.
(Lou): Come on, girls.
Rick?! You did all this?
Katie passed on your diagram
and slipped me a key.
I thought I'd take a little
off your shoulders.
- This looks amazing.
- Yeah, it it really does.
- It's almost like you read my mind.
- Well, I made
some slight adjustments
just for traffic flow.
(cellphone chimes)
Wait. Uh
Coffee! I totally forgot
to pick some up.
Rick, you'll have to get some.
- Don't we have a bunch?
- It's all decaf.
Uh, Rick, please? We can't
have dessert without coffee.
Haha!
(guitar music)
Well, you look like
you belong in that saddle.
I didn't realize
how much I missed it.
Hahaha!
So did you always want to be
a fashion designer?
No. No,
I actually wanted
to be what you would call
a park ranger.
Oh. Oh. Well, that's
that's not the same
- at all.
- No. Heh.
- Uh-uh.
- Ha!
Kid me feels
like a stranger.
But then again, the man looking
back in the mirror lately
he's looking like
a stranger lately too.
You're not happy
doing what you do?
No, no.
No, it's
Designer is what
I'm meant to be;
it's just
all the people
wanting to be wowed.
- Yeah, I get that.
- I'm sure you do, Miracle Girl.
Hmm
So, what's
Vegas' story?
Oh, he used to be
a bucking horse actually.
- Like, in an actual rodeo?
- Yes.
Last season, his heart wasn't
in it, so his new owner
decided to turn him
into a trail horse.
Is that a thing?
Making a bucking horse
into a regular riding horse?
It seems like an invitation
for trouble,
like wearing latex boots
on a hot summer day?
You sound exactly
like my grandpa.
Well, the New York version.
Do I? That's exciting.
Hahaha!
(indistinct song playing)
(indistinct chatter)
- Don't tell me what?
- Here, Kevin, please.
Coffee, as ordered.
Where shall I put it?
Maybe with the rest of it.
Hahahaha!
You are not serious.
I had accepted that this was
a make-work situation,
but I didn't think
Lou was actually lying to me.
- Maybe she just forgot we had extra.
- Katie,
come on. I mean, I've basically
become your mother's errand boy.
Well, no more.
I am no sidekick.
Yeah. You're
your own person.
I think you should
just talk to her.
Yeah. Tell her
how you really feel.
- Honesty is the best policy.
- You're absolutely right,
both of you.
The truth will set me free.
Don't you think you should
take your own advice?
What advice?
"Honesty is the best policy."
Parker, I know Sabrina has been
texting you all morning.
- You snooped on my phone?
- You lied to me! Why?
Are are you secretly going
to the party without me?
No! You want the truth?
Sabrina only messaged me
to get your number.
Like, I'm your secretary
or something.
(Ezra): No. The saddle
- is not that comfortable.
- Would you quit complaining?
Try to keep some space
between you.
All I'm saying is
the loungers at the Soho
would be a lot more comfortable.
Oh!
(horse snorting)
Argh!
And watch out
for overhanging branches.
- Is Ezra all right?
- Yeah. He's been waiting
for an excuse
to get a nose job.
- (Jessica chuckles)
- Can't believe
- I was talked into this.
- No one talked you
into anything.
Accidents happen.
Accident? Your husband was distracting
me while I was trying to ride.
Seriously? That's the story
you're sticking with?
(Amy): Loosening the cinch
- just gives him a little bit of a break.
- Mm-hmm.
But just don't forget
to tighten it up
before you get back on again
or you will eat dirt.
Oh, and, uh, I think
there's a hoof pick. Yeah.
You remember how to use
one of these, right?
Okay.
(piano and violin music)
Don't you miss
the city?
The art and the fashion
and the energy?
Yeah, of course I do,
all the time.
This isn't you, Jess.
Heartland, It's just
a temporary escape.
How are you doing, Ez?
Ready to ride.
Do you need help
with your horse?
Oh no, I'm good.
Amy showed me what to do.
- Yeah. I'll be there in just a sec.
- Okay.
- Thanks.
- (Tim): Keep that.
(horse snorts)
Yeah, let's back up.
Back up. There you go.
There you go.
Hey, this probably shouldn't be
loose either.
(horse snorting and neighing)
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Está bien.
Está bien. Está bien.
Grayson!
That's not your horse!
All right.
(whinnying)
Oh! Oh, hey!
Oh! Oh! Oh! Aargh!
Ugh! Ah!
Ah
- (Grayson moaning)
- Grayson, hey.
No, just don't get up
- too quickly, okay?
- I'm okay, I'm okay.
Can you move everything?
Is anything broken?
Ah, I'm I'm afraid so.
Ah. We can get you
another one of those.
It retails for $6000.
Oof.
It was a gift from Donatella.
Well, nice of her.
I am so sorry.
That horse was supposed to be
- calm enough for a beginner.
- That wasn't his horse
he tried to get on.
It was Vegas.
(Grayson laughing)
Well, at least I have
a new story to tell
at the cocktail parties.
The time I got bucked off
a bronco. Huh?
(Jack): Amy, we better go get
that bronc.
The rest of you,
set up camp here.
We're not going
any further today. Let's go.
- Are you sure you're okay?
- Yes, I'm cool.
- Okay.
- I'm sorry.
- I'm sorry I ruined the day.
- No, you didn't.
Yeah, I'm good. Thank you.
(Katie): Parker,
talk to me.
What did Sabrina want
to text me about anyway?
She wants you
to come to her party.
What? That's why you decided
not to tell me.
(indistinct conversations)
But I'd love to go to Sabrina's,
you know that.
Fine.
Go to the stupid party.
Tell me how it was.
She didn't invite you?
She said there's only
room for one guest. You.
(door closes)
(footsteps)
Shh. It's my mom.
If she finds us here, she'll
send us back to sandwich duty.
(Lou): Okay, it can stay
hidden here until I call him up.
(footsteps)
What is it?
I don't know,
and I don't want to find out.
Politics is
a dark, dark world.
- Girls? What are you doing?
- Is this why
you've been sending Rick
on all those crazy errands?
Yes. Okay, you guys are in
on the secret now.
Just, um,
make sure he doesn't
come back here, okay?
Grandpa?
I told you that horse
isn't to be trusted.
Wha? It was an honest mistake.
- Grayson just got confused.
- Maybe, but it happened
because you were distracted,
not paying attention.
Your head was somewhere else.
I just stepped away
for one second.
With a horse like that bronc,
it's all it takes.
Hey.
There he is.
Hey, Vegas.
You all right?
Easy.
Good boy. That's it.
Oh. Well, that explains
why he bucked.
The back cinch is tight.
Poor guy. Gonna have to work
with him under saddle again.
Amy, you're wasting
your time.
You of all people
should understand.
Blue used to buck
every time you got on him,
- and now look at him.
- It's different.
- How?
- Blue wasn't a professional bronc.
Vegas is a trained bucking
horse. It's what he knows.
It's in his blood.
He can't help
who he is
no matter what you do
or how much you like him.
What is this really about?
Last night in the barn,
I heard you on the phone
to Finn Cotter.
You're waiting for him
to call you back.
You're glued to your phone
like a teenager.
That's not fair.
(Vegas snorting softly)
(Blue snorts)
(sighs)
Something wrong
with our firewood?
No, it's
I can't get my ideas
onto the page.
Everything looks terrible.
Well, let me make you
a cowboy coffee.
(Ezra): Okay, I know I'm not
exactly Mr Outdoorsy Cowboy.
I think I'm capable
of setting camp.
- (Jessica): Yeah
- I admire your security.
A lot of people couldn't handle
Ezra's closeness to Jessica.
(Ezra speaking indistinctly)
Yeah, well
I don't love the guy,
but he's been
a good friend to Jess.
Not by choice.
Yeah, yeah, I shouldn't
have said that.
Well, you did.
Now, Jessica said
they decided that
- they worked best as friends.
- Jessica decided, yes,
but Ezra is still
holding a torch for her.
He settled for friendship
when she was in New York,
but then came you, Heartland,
so
Are you telling me that
Ezra came back here
to try to win Jessica
back to New York?
Tim, the man has probably
never camped a day in his life.
He doesn't need to be here.
He's the money.
Okay.
(horse snorting)
Amy, hold up!
(horse snorting)
Is there something going on
between you and Finn Cotter?
You be honest with me now.
I like him.
And he likes me.
We're staying in touch, and
I don't know if there's
a possibility of something,
but I I kind of
hope there is.
You may not be asking for my
advice, but I'm giving it to you
anyway. Getting involved
- with a Cotter is a mistake.
- You hardly know Finn.
I know enough.
I can tell he's got plenty
of his grandfather in him.
(Amy scoffs)
I don't know
what you have against Al Cotter,
but what happened?
You you dislike him so much.
Can you tell me
that Finn's trustworthy?
Can you tell me
he's reliable?
'Cause from what I've seen,
he's selfish and careless.
Where is he now anyway? He's
going in and out of your life
as he pleases,
probably for one vague reason
- or another. Am I right?
- Finn is not
his grandfather.
Oh, well
You've based
your opinions off Al,
but why can you just base them
off me, off my feelings?
Because you put too much hope
in people changing, Amy.
It's a recipe for getting hurt.
I won't see you hurt.
No, you're the one who's doing
the hurting here, Grandpa.
You're stuck in the past,
and I won't be.
(horse snorting)
(clinking)
Welcome, everyone. I am
so grateful
that you're all here today,
and I'm even more grateful
that during
our neighbours' hour of need,
you represented Hudson
with such generosity.
In a moment, I'm gonna bring up
our guest of honour.
But first, I would like
to thank my daughter Katie
and her friend Parker
who really stepped up to help.
Let's give them
a round of applause.
I would also like to thank
the Hudson Rec Centre,
the Hudson County Hospital
and the Crossroads Inn.
And now,
a special announcement.
The wonderful people
at AgriTech and I
have been in talks for weeks,
and we have established
the Hudson Emergency
and Refuge Fund.
Let's give them
a big round of applause.
Where is Rick going?
- Um
- Just, uh set up the cake.
I'll be right back.
Thanks, everyone.
Rick! Rick!
- What are you doing?
- I'm going home.
- You don't need me, I'm sure.
- Yes, I do, I need you.
You can't you can't
miss dessert!
- Come on!
- I'd really prefer
not to lose it
in the middle of the street,
but maybe it's best
I be honest now.
You can you can
always be honest with me.
You've been shutting me out,
lying to me, not even
thanking me when you had
the opportunity to moments ago.
- I didn't mean to–
- Even AgriTech, a company
who I've been
wooing for weeks, Lou,
- you just swept in and took over.
- Okay, Rick,
- that's my job. I'm the mayor.
- Sure,
when it's convenient to you,
but you obviously
want someone who will
stay in your shadow and not
steal the spotlight
or make it to the front page.
I can't do this anymore.
I'm offering my resignation.
You're the guest of honour.
You.
(people inside):
♪For Rick's a jolly good fellow ♪
For Rick's
a jolly good fellow ♪
For Rick's a jolly good fellow ♪
Come on.
Which nobody can deny ♪♪
(applause)
- Hip, hip
- Hurray!
- Hip, hip, hip
- Hurray!
Woohoohoo!
(crowd cheering)
Woo!
So, uh, the thing about having
an amazing right-hand man is
that when you try
to do anything without him,
even organize
a surprise for him,
it never goes as planned.
(crowd laughing)
Rick
(sighs)
Neither words nor cake
can fully express
my gratitude to you
for stepping in to lead
when I couldn't.
So on behalf of the town
and the volunteers you led
and the people you helped,
thank you.

Everything is better

Jack
these beans
are, I must say,
the best baked beans
I've ever had,
though you did promise
they'd be cold.
I'm surprised
you made the trip, Ezra.
Weekends are busy for
real estate agents, aren't they?
- Sometimes.
- But I guess your investment
in Grayson's line is probably
worth getting eaten by mosquitoes
and having a campfire dinner
with us backward country
folks.
I think he came to Heartland
for more than just
- Grayson's sake.
- I know why he came. He came
to see you, even though
he saw you last month
- 'cause he's a good friend.
- Tim
He's a great friend. It's right?
Right, good friend, right?
Isn't that what
you call yourself?
(Ezra sighs)
Jack, I'd love
some more of these beans.
You know, you're wearing
a lot of hats around my wife.
Are you kidding me?
I thought we were past jealousy
at this point.
- Hey, just a second.
- Don't you dare follow me!
Whoa, you are about
as subtle as these beans.
I wasn't trying
to be subtle.
Well, that's enough excitement
for one day.
Grayson.
Amy.
Good night.
Call me clairvoyant,
but it seems like
there's a little tension between
you and your grandfather.
Grandpa thinks I'm wasting
my time trying to retrain Vegas.
But you've seen many horses
- that are more difficult, no?
- I guess he thinks
it's different
because he's a bronc.
You know,
he he was trained
to buck. It's his job
to get people off his back.
I'm trying to change
who he is.
Oh, he seems like he's
speaking from experience.
Doesn't mean he's right.
You know
when I first moved
to New York,
I designed and sold
t-shirts on the streets.
- T-shirts?
- Yeah.
Trust me, they were
exceptional t-shirts. (Amy laughs)
But every time I told people
that I wanted to be
in high fashion,
they would always respond
the same way,
"But you design t-shirts."
(Amy chuckles)
And they they didn't think
that you could do anything else.
Exactly.
And now it's the same.
I'm Ralph Lauren
for the next generation.
People think they know
exactly who you are,
exactly what they should expect.
But Heartland has reminded me
that I let a whole part
of myself go because it didn't
fit with the brand.
I don't want to be
the next Ralph Lauren.
Well, I'm not ready to give up
on that bronc yet.
Well, you better
trust the process
because reinvention is
painful.
(gentle music)
But it's possible.
Yeah?
Yeah.
- I'm gonna have some more beans.
- Haha!
Ez, I'm sorry.
Tim just can't seem
to wrap his head
around us being friends
and only friends.
Tim is a smart man.
Careful, that could be
taken the wrong way.
He's right.
Jess, when you left
New York, I
I thought that the space
would somehow
erase my feelings for you,
but it's
it's just the opposite.
I love you.
I'm married
- to Tim.
- But you belong
in New York, with me.
You and I are
a much better match
than you and that cowboy.
I think that cowboy might have
something to say about it.
I need to handle this.
No offence, but I think
it'll hurt more if I hit him.
Do you trust me?
How could you do that?
I am in love with him.
And up until a minute ago,
I thought I had
a really great friend
who was happy for me.
- I needed you to hear the truth.
- Yeah.
You. You needed.
All of this, this is about
you, Ez, and what you want.
Not me.
I have exactly what I want,
and I am exactly
where I need to be.
I don't need to choose
between Heartland and the city,
and I don't need to choose
between my life here
and my career.
You owe my husband an apology.
That's not happening.
Well, if you're gonna diminish
Tim's importance in my life,
then our friendship is over.
(sad music)
(sighs)
Thank you for trusting me
to sort it out on my own.
You need help

Rick I'm sorry. I

Why someone wants

is beyond me.
Well, he only bucked a little
in our first session.
He's really smart, Grandpa,
and he wants to try.
Well, weaving
around a few logs,
that doesn't prove he can be
a reliable trail horse.
It's been a long time

I'm not worried

I'm worried about you.
You be careful.

Grayson called yesterday

- Yeah, there is.
It's a, um, thank you lunch
at Maggie's
for the flood volunteers.
Well, this is the first
I'm hearing of it.
I definitely told you
about it, didn't I?
Anyway, if you have plans,
cancel them. I need
- my CAO.
- Of course, but get me
up to speed.
Who are the honourees?
It'll have to be later;
I have a meeting with AgriTech.
AgriTech, but I've been
in talks with them for weeks.
They might sponsor one of
our new charity initiatives.
Yeah, and I'm gonna
close the deal.
You know, there is something
you can handle for me:
Lonny Hardwick.
He's been emailing for weeks
about the town flower pots,
and I cannot take another
five-page email about mulch.
You want me
to negotiate with the
florist?
(Amy): Grayson Bolt,
I've heard a lot about you.
- Ditto.
- You're here to help Jessica?
I thought she was going to
New York for that photoshoot.
Uh, well, there may
not be a photoshoot.
I sit down to sketch and
nothing.
Jessica thought
a change of scenery might help,
- so here I am.
- You spent
- much time around horses?
- Every summer
at my grandparents' farm
till I was 17.
- Loved it.
- Hmm.
And then I went away
to college in the U.S.,
moved to New York.
Haven't ridden since.
Hmm. Well, maybe it's time
you start back up.
I usually find that a long ride
helps me clear my head.
Okay.

- shouldn't we get a break?
- You and Parker were
absolutely wonderful, and you're
still serving sandwiches.
- Fine. We're taking 15.
- Great.
Rick? What are you doing here?
Lonny had
some truly fabulous ideas for
- the town's autumn flower pots.
- Okay.
And he gave me roses.
I thought we could use them
for the luncheon.
Oooh!
"Guest of honour."
Who might that be?
- It's a surprise.
- Is it the CEO of AgriTech?

how amazing you were when she
was away looking after Georgie.
Could we have made him

the fact that my wife is

Okay, one, he is not my ex,

And two, I'm not
really thrilled

that the only reason

Oh! Oh, hey!
Oh! Oh! Oh! Aargh!
Ugh! Ah!
Ah
- (Grayson moaning)
- Grayson, hey.
No, just don't get up
- too quickly, okay?
- I'm okay, I'm okay.
Can you move everything?
Is anything broken?
Ah, I'm I'm afraid so.
Ah. We can get you
another one of those.
It retails for $6000.
Oof.
It was a gift from Donatella.
Well, nice of her.
I am so sorry.
That horse was supposed to be
- calm enough for a beginner.
- That wasn't his horse
he tried to get on.
It was Vegas.
(Grayson laughing)
Well, at least I have
a new story to tell
at the cocktail parties.
The time I got bucked off
a bronco. Huh?
(Jack): Amy, we better go get
that bronc.
The rest of you,
set up camp here.
We're not going
any further today. Let's go.
- Are you sure you're okay?
- Yes, I'm cool.
- Okay.
- I'm sorry.
- I'm sorry I ruined the day.
- No, you didn't.
Yeah, I'm good. Thank you.
(Katie): Parker,
talk to me.
What did Sabrina want
to text me about anyway?
She wants you
to come to her party.
What? That's why you decided
not to tell me.
(indistinct conversations)
But I'd love to go to Sabrina's,
you know that.
Fine.
Go to the stupid party.
Tell me how it was.
She didn't invite you?
She said there's only
room for one guest. You.
(door closes)
(footsteps)
Shh. It's my mom.
If she finds us here, she'll
send us back to sandwich duty.
(Lou): Okay, it can stay
hidden here until I call him up.
(footsteps)
What is it?
I don't know,
and I don't want to find out.
Politics is
a dark, dark world.
- Girls? What are you doing?
- Is this why
you've been sending Rick
on all those crazy errands?
Yes. Okay, you guys are in
on the secret now.
Just, um,
make sure he doesn't
come back here, okay?
Grandpa?
I told you that horse
isn't to be trusted.
Wha? It was an honest mistake.
- Grayson just got confused.
- Maybe, but it happened
because you were distracted,
not paying attention.
Your head was somewhere else.
I just stepped away
for one second.
With a horse like that bronc,
it's all it takes.
Hey.
There he is.
Hey, Vegas.
You all right?
Easy.
Good boy. That's it.
Oh. Well, that explains
why he bucked.
The back cinch is tight.
Poor guy. Gonna have to work
with him under saddle again.
Amy, you're wasting
your time.
You of all people
should understand.
Blue used to buck
every time you got on him,
- and now look at him.
- It's different.
- How?
- Blue wasn't a professional bronc.
Vegas is a trained bucking
horse. It's what he knows.
It's in his blood.
He can't help
who he is
no matter what you do
or how much you like him.
What is this really about?
Last night in the barn,
I heard you on the phone
to Finn Cotter.
You're waiting for him
to call you back.
You're glued to your phone
like a teenager.
That's not fair.
(Vegas snorting softly)
(Blue snorts)
(sighs)
Something wrong
with our firewood?
No, it's
I can't get my ideas
onto the page.
Everything looks terrible.
Well, let me make you
a cowboy coffee.
(Ezra): Okay, I know I'm not
exactly Mr Outdoorsy Cowboy.
I think I'm capable
of setting camp.
- (Jessica): Yeah
- I admire your security.
A lot of people couldn't handle
Ezra's closeness to Jessica.
(Ezra speaking indistinctly)
Yeah, well
I don't love the guy,
but he's been
a good friend to Jess.
Not by choice.
Yeah, yeah, I shouldn't
have said that.
Well, you did.
Now, Jessica said
they decided that
- they worked best as friends.
- Jessica decided, yes,
but Ezra is still
holding a torch for her.
He settled for friendship
when she was in New York,
but then came you, Heartland,
so
Are you telling me that
Ezra came back here
to try to win Jessica
back to New York?
Tim, the man has probably
never camped a day in his life.
He doesn't need to be here.
He's the money.
Okay.
(horse snorting)
Amy, hold up!
(horse snorting)
Is there something going on
between you and Finn Cotter?
You be honest with me now.
I like him.
And he likes me.
We're staying in touch, and
I don't know if there's
a possibility of something,
but I I kind of
hope there is.
You may not be asking for my
advice, but I'm giving it to you
anyway. Getting involved
- with a Cotter is a mistake.
- You hardly know Finn.
I know enough.
I can tell he's got plenty
of his grandfather in him.
(Amy scoffs)
I don't know
what you have against Al Cotter,
but what happened?
You you dislike him so much.
Can you tell me
that Finn's trustworthy?
Can you tell me
he's reliable?
'Cause from what I've seen,
he's selfish and careless.
Where is he now anyway? He's
going in and out of your life
as he pleases,
probably for one vague reason
- or another. Am I right?
- Finn is not
his grandfather.
Oh, well
You've based
your opinions off Al,
but why can you just base them
off me, off my feelings?
Because you put too much hope
in people changing, Amy.
It's a recipe for getting hurt.
I won't see you hurt.
No, you're the one who's doing
the hurting here, Grandpa.
You're stuck in the past,
and I won't be.
(horse snorting)
(clinking)
Welcome, everyone. I am
so grateful
that you're all here today,
and I'm even more grateful
that during
our neighbours' hour of need,
you represented Hudson
with such generosity.
In a moment, I'm gonna bring up
our guest of honour.
But first, I would like
to thank my daughter Katie
and her friend Parker
who really stepped up to help.
Let's give them
a round of applause.
I would also like to thank
the Hudson Rec Centre,
the Hudson County Hospital
and the Crossroads Inn.
And now,
a special announcement.
The wonderful people
at AgriTech and I
have been in talks for weeks,
and we have established
the Hudson Emergency
and Refuge Fund.
Let's give them
a big round of applause.
Where is Rick going?
- Um
- Just, uh set up the cake.
I'll be right back.
Thanks, everyone.
Rick! Rick!
- What are you doing?
- I'm going home.
- You don't need me, I'm sure.
- Yes, I do, I need you.
You can't you can't
miss dessert!
- Come on!
- I'd really prefer
not to lose it
in the middle of the street,
but maybe it's best
I be honest now.
You can you can
always be honest with me.
You've been shutting me out,
lying to me, not even
thanking me when you had
the opportunity to moments ago.
- I didn't mean to–
- Even AgriTech, a company
who I've been
wooing for weeks, Lou,
- you just swept in and took over.
- Okay, Rick,
- that's my job. I'm the mayor.
- Sure,
when it's convenient to you,
but you obviously
want someone who will
stay in your shadow and not
steal the spotlight
or make it to the front page.
I can't do this anymore.
I'm offering my resignation.
You're the guest of honour.
You.

So, uh, the thing about having
an amazing right-hand man is
that when you try
to do anything without him,
even organize
a surprise for him,
it never goes as planned.
(crowd laughing)
Rick
(sighs)
Neither words nor cake
can fully express
my gratitude to you
for stepping in to lead
when I couldn't.
So on behalf of the town
and the volunteers you led
and the people you helped,
thank you.
The people of Hudson
are so lucky to have you,
and and I'm
so lucky to have you.

- Lou, I
- Shhh
Everything is better
with cake.
(crickets chirping)
Jack
these beans
are, I must say,
the best baked beans
I've ever had,
though you did promise
they'd be cold.
I'm surprised
you made the trip, Ezra.
Weekends are busy for
real estate agents, aren't they?
- Sometimes.
- But I guess your investment
in Grayson's line is probably
worth getting eaten by mosquitoes
and having a campfire dinner
with us backward country
folks.
I think he came to Heartland
for more than just
- Grayson's sake.
- I know why he came. He came
to see you, even though
he saw you last month
- 'cause he's a good friend.
- Tim
He's a great friend. It's right?
Right, good friend, right?
Isn't that what
you call yourself?
(Ezra sighs)
Jack, I'd love
some more of these beans.
You know, you're wearing
a lot of hats around my wife.
Are you kidding me?
I thought we were past jealousy
at this point.
- Hey, just a second.
- Don't you dare follow me!
Whoa, you are about
as subtle as these beans.
I wasn't trying
to be subtle.
Well, that's enough excitement
for one day.
Grayson.
Amy.
Good night.
Call me clairvoyant,
but it seems like
there's a little tension between
you and your grandfather.
Grandpa thinks I'm wasting
my time trying to retrain Vegas.
But you've seen many horses
- that are more difficult, no?
- I guess he thinks
it's different
because he's a bronc.
You know,
he he was trained
to buck. It's his job
to get people off his back.
I'm trying to change
who he is.
Oh, he seems like he's
speaking from experience.
Doesn't mean he's right.
You know
when I first moved
to New York,
I designed and sold
t-shirts on the streets.
- T-shirts?
- Yeah.
Trust me, they were
exceptional t-shirts. (Amy laughs)
But every time I told people
that I wanted to be
in high fashion,
they would always respond
the same way,
"But you design t-shirts."
(Amy chuckles)
And they they didn't think
that you could do anything else.
Exactly.
And now it's the same.
I'm Ralph Lauren
for the next generation.
People think they know
exactly who you are,
exactly what they should expect.
But Heartland has reminded me
that I let a whole part
of myself go because it didn't
fit with the brand.
I don't want to be
the next Ralph Lauren.
Well, I'm not ready to give up
on that bronc yet.
Well, you better
trust the process
because reinvention is
painful.
(gentle music)
But it's possible.
Yeah?
Yeah.
- I'm gonna have some more beans.
- Haha!
Ez, I'm sorry.
Tim just can't seem
to wrap his head
around us being friends
and only friends.
Tim is a smart man.
Careful, that could be
taken the wrong way.
He's right.
Jess, when you left
New York, I
I thought that the space
would somehow
erase my feelings for you,
but it's
it's just the opposite.
I love you.
I'm married
- to Tim.
- But you belong
in New York, with me.
You and I are
a much better match
than you and that cowboy.
I think that cowboy might have
something to say about it.
I need to handle this.
No offence, but I think
it'll hurt more if I hit him.
Do you trust me?
How could you do that?
I am in love with him.
And up until a minute ago,
I thought I had
a really great friend
who was happy for me.
- I needed you to hear the truth.
- Yeah.
You. You needed.
All of this, this is about
you, Ez, and what you want.
Not me.
I have exactly what I want,
and I am exactly
where I need to be.
I don't need to choose
between Heartland and the city,
and I don't need to choose
between my life here
and my career.
You owe my husband an apology.
That's not happening.
Well, if you're gonna diminish
Tim's importance in my life,
then our friendship is over.
(sad music)
(sighs)
Thank you for trusting me
to sort it out on my own.
You need help
burying the body?
(Tim chuckles softly)
Just so you know
I've never doubted us
for one second.

Alexa, what is the definition

(man's voice): Overdramatic is
an adjective usually defined as
dramatic to excess.

(phone ringing)
- Lou, I'm I'm so sorry.
- No.
Rick I'm sorry. I
I never meant to make you
feel unappreciated.
I just wanted you
to be surprised.
I shouldn't have spoken to you
that way. It was rude,
- and I was mean.
- Maybe a little.
But we both know you wouldn't
have said those things
if it was just
over a weekend.
I've been taking over,
micromanaging.
Which is
what you should do.
- I'm not the mayor.
- But we are a team. You're

I shouldn't have lied

- You got jealous.
But I can't talk
'cause I did too.
You fit with Sabrina better

Parker, you're
smart and kind,
you care about so many things.
One hundred Sabrinas
couldn't equal to one Parker.
Good thing it's not
scientifically possible

or my riding helmet
wouldn't fit.
All right, Lyndy, it's time

He has to go back

- Absolutely.
But can I make
