Post by bunniefuu »

AMY: Previously on "Heartland"...

- How much time do you have?
- TIM: I don't know.

The doctors at home

think that I might have cancer.

Now let's welcome this beautiful baby,

and bless her with her name, and stone.

AMY: Yay! (ALL LAUGH)

I was just calling to make sure that you hadn't gone

- on the gossip site.
- No, I haven't.

ILENA T.: She'd even hurt her horse to win!

SCHMEDLY: Nobody likes you, Georgie!

I mean, this is only the beginning

of your American expansion, you guys are planning

on opening up other locations, right?

- Yeah, we have discussed it.
- The bottom line is that...

you're not gonna be around here,

and I'd never be happy in New York.

ANNOUNCER: The winner of the Fall Finale,

Georgie Fleming-Morris...

Way to go, Georgie!

ANNOUNCER: on Phoenix Rising.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)

I promised I'd keep you in the loop about my health.

- I'm clear.
- LOU: Dad!

AMY: Good news, such good news!

- There she is!
- Mommy!

Hey Grandpa, I'm so sorry that time got away from me.

- JACK: No problem.
- Hi, sweetheart!

(LOUD WHINNY) No, no, no.

We don't wanna get too close to this horse, okay?

We have to be quiet and gentle with Bandit.

He's not like Spartan.

He's not used to people.
(LOUD WHINNY)

Hey! What's the... what's the deal with this guy, anyway?

I went to make friends yesterday,

and he tried to bite me!

He has big trust issues with both people and horses.

And of course, his owner wants to see results fast.

Do you know Dean Woodley?

Yeah, the-the polo guy, right?

Well, he wants to gift Bandit to his daughter

for her birthday, as a trail horse.

And of course, I'm running out of time.

Well, you know, I hated to even call you,

but I've got this thing with Ty.

No, Grandpa, I really appreciate you

- looking after her.
- Anytime.

It's okay, you know, Lyndy and I, we had fun today, didn't we?

Okay, well, thank you, Grandpa.

(PHOENIX SNORTS) GEORGIE: Whoa.

(PHOENIX SNORTS)

Lookin' good, Georgie!

Thanks.

(SIGHS) More thanks.

(TRUCK RUMBLES)

Hi!

- (LYNDY COOS)
- Bye bye!

Hi! Bye.

(LOCK CLICKS)

Uh, Lyndy, honey?

No, you-you can't lock the door!

Ty: Hey, girls!

Can you let Mommy in?

How's your day going?

- (SIGHS)
- Is Lyndy in there?

- Yeah.
- (LYNDY LAUGHS)

How? Why?

It's a game we play, and she loves it,

but she's never actually locked the door before.

Lyndy, honey? (KNOCKING)

- Daddy's home.
- (LYNDY COOS)

Open the door, sweetheart!

Ah!

Hey, there you are!

Good girl, good girl.
(AMY CHUCKLES)

Boy, that Lyndy loves horses.

She just wants to reach out and touch 'em.

Aw, well, she's her mother's daughter, isn't she?

Just like Amy was Marion's.

Oh look, our Emerald Lake reservations got confirmed!

Oh, great!

Isn't that pretty?

A little you and me time, I am lookin' forward to that.

Oh, you and me both.

It's been a very busy few months.

This is weird.

What?

Well, Aunt Evelyn's housekeeper is asking

if I've heard from her, she usually checks in

every couple of days when she's traveling,

haven't heard from her in a week.

She's probably just run off

with some half-baked billionaire.

What?! I told you, she has a boyfriend.

- They're travelling together.
- Okay.

Where is she, anyway?

Istanbul, I think.

Oh, well, that's a good place for her.

Well, I asked Amy to rush home

'cause I'm meeting with Ty, so where is he?

I don't know.

Yes, I've been working with Bandit, Dean.

And he's doing a bit better.

Mhmm, yeah.

Yes, mhmm.

Yep.

I know that there is a deadline, Dean,

and I-I'm working hard to meet it.

I'll give you a call tomorrow, and let you know our progress.

Okay, thanks. (PHONE BEEPS OFF)

(SIGHS HEAVILY)

Okay, I've gotta go meet Jack, I'm gonna be late!

(THUDDING)

I'll help you clean up when I get back, all right?

Amy?

What's going on?

I'm fine, you just go.

(FOOTSTEPS THUD)

No, tell me, what's going on?

Okay, um...

sometimes I just feel like I'm not getting done

what I need to get done. I...

I just feel torn.

How so?

Well, with my business, and looking after Lyndy,

I... it's hard.

I know. I know it is.

- Do you?
- Yeah.

Ty, for you, nothing has really changed.

You still get up and go to work at the clinic every day.

Well, of course I go to the clinic, I mean, that's my job.

I have a job too. I mean, I've got several.

I'm-I'm trying to be a good mom,

I'm trying to work with my client horses,

and I'm trying to coach Georgie,

but I know that I'm not spending enough time with her.

Georgie's doing fine.

She's winning every show she's entered into.

Yeah, maybe, but if it wasn't for Grandpa and Lisa,

I wouldn't have time for her, or anything else.

We rely on them too much, Ty.

And I'm starting to hate asking them for help.

I feel guilty, and...

I don't know what I'm gonna do while they're away.

We'll manage, Amy.

Um... I... (STRESSED EXHALE)

Okay, listen, I know we need to talk about this more, but...

- But you gotta go.
- I gotta go.

- Yeah, I know.
- It's about our land!

Hey, we're meetin' with the surveyor.

I know, and I'm sorry for venting.

But if I can't say this to you, who can I say it to?

And I'm listening. I am!
(FOOTSTEPS THUD)

Ty! (SIGHS)

This is not who we are.

(SIGHS)

We always said we wouldn't be a traditional family

where the mom stays home, and the dad goes to work.

But somehow I feel like that's exactly what's happened.

Amy, I would give anything to stay at home,

look after Lyndy, and do my work here.

But I can't.

I know that.

I just was hoping that we could share this more

- like we said we would.
- We are!

No, we're not, Ty!

Not really.

(LYNDY GIGGLES)

Hey... hey.

Hey.

- (BABBLES)
- Yeah.

I'll be back soon, okay?

Okay, yeah. Come here, sweetheart.

(GATE BANGS)

- Oh! Mommy.
- Yeah.

(CELL PHONE RINGS)

(COWS MOO)

MITCH: Oh! Oh! Go, go.

(CELL PHONE BEEPS ON)
Yeah? Charlie?

No, that's-oh no, that's good news.

That's good news, keep that deal alive.

Oh yeah, no, you can reach me whenever.

Yeah, okay, thank you.

(CELL PHONE BEEPS OFF)
Ha ha! Yes!

What? Good news?

(SIGHS) Mitch.

You know, half the stuff that we have, we don't need.

The important thing is to know when to...

when to let it go.

Yeah, I know all about that.

What do you mean?

What do you got? You got a horse.

A-a trailer.

A tin can of a trailer.

Whoa. You-you can't afford to give away

half the stuff you have, you're still in a position

where you need to hold on to what you got.

Believe me, I know when to fold 'em,

and when to hold 'em better than any poker player.

Oh, please.

Tell me this isn't about Lou.

(CATTLE MOO)

(HORSES SNORT)

(FOOTSTEPS THUD)

(SIGHS)

(ZIPPER RASPS)

(CELL PHONE RINGS)

(PHONE BEEPS ON)

Hey, Mom. Where are you?

Oh, nice. Is your flight on time?

That's good, I can't wait to see you.

Uh, no, no. Nothing is new.

It's the same old.

(TRUCK RUMBLES)

Is there somethin' bugging you?

Uh, Amy and I had a, um...

kind of a discussion.

(CHUCKLES) A discussion, huh?

Yeah, she's um, you know, she's finding it hard

to balance work, and Lyndy, and, you know.

Well, she's always got a lot on her plate.

Yeah.

Thanks for helping her out the way that you do.

- Well, I'm happy to.
- I appreciate it.

No, but, Lisa and I,

you know we're taking a little road trip here.

Oh yeah, yeah, you guys deserve it.

It's gonna be fun.

I should talk to Scott, get some time off.

Oh, speaking of Scott,

he said he was talking to someone,

and they saw a "for sale" sign at Big River.

- No way.
- No?

Tim couldn't keep news like that quiet if you paid him.

He'd be jawing about it to anyone who'll listen.

Oh. Yeah, you're probably right.

Whoa, Jack! Can you stop for a second?

What?

(TRUCK RUMBLES)

TY: Look at that.
(HORSE WHINNIES)

(ENGINE SHUTS OFF)

(HORSE WHINNIES)

It's injured. Look at all the blood.

Must be wild, way out here.

- TY: Whoa...
- JACK: Hey! Over here.

(HORSE SNORTS)

(JACK WHISTLES SOFTLY)

Easy... easy, easy.
(PANICKED WHINNIES)

Whoa, whoa, whoa.
(NERVOUS SNORTING)

There's something on that bridge.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

- I'm gonna go take a look.
- Yeah-yeah.

(WHISTLES) Whoa.

Stay there. Stay there!

(PANICKED WHINNIES)

It's a foal, Jack.

(LOW, PAINED WHINNIES)

Easy now, I'm not gonna hurt you.

It's all right.

(SHRILL WHINNY)
- Whoa! Whoa!

Ty! Ty, look out!

(MARE GRUNTS)

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

(MARE WHINNIES)

(SHRILL WHINNY)

(BIRDS CHIRP)

"Premier Equestrian?"

Wow, "Future Olympians, The Ones to Watch."

This is pretty exciting.

- When is this happening?
- In a few days.

But I'm not gonna do it.

Why not? It's no wonder they wanna interview you,

Georgie, I mean, you've been doing so well this year.

I don't know, it's embarrassing.

(SCOFFS) It is not.
It's a compliment.

Here you go. Have you told your Mom yet?

Mmm...

You need to, she's gonna be so excited.

Would it be bad if I just...

didn't tell her at all?
(PHONE CHIMES)

(SIGHS)

Okay, I know, you're right.

(PHONE BEEPS ON)
Hey, Ty.

Hey, Amy?

We've got a bit of an emergency here with a foal.

- Can you bring my vet kit?
- What? A foal?

W-where are you? What happened?

Okay, no, I will hook up the trailer,

and I will be right there.

(PANICKED WHINNY)

- JACK: Easy.
- Ty: It's okay.

(MARE SNORTS NERVOUSLY)

Hey, are you guys okay?

- Yeah.
- Where's the foal?

It's got its leg stuck in the bridge.

Can you get it out?

Not unless we can keep the mom away.

Okay. Easy...

(SIGHS)

JACK: Easy, easy, whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Go on through, Amy.

- TY: Hey, hey. Thanks.
- Amy: Oh.

I have to get to that foal.

Okay, I'll try to keep her here.

Okay.

(MARE SNORTS)

- You got her?
- Yeah.

- You go.
- Okay.

(SHRILL WHINNIES)

Hey, easy! Easy!

You're okay.

Whoa.

We're trying to help your baby, okay?

You're gonna have to trust us.

Easy.

(SIGHS)

What's goin' on?

Her leg's gone through the bridge.

Jeez, is it broken?

Well, I can't tell.

Well, what's the plan?

Well, we're gonna have to get her back to Heartland.

Okay.

- Okay? You all ready?
- Yeah.

Here they come!

(DOOR CLANGS, HORSES WHINNY)

Hup! Hup! (MARE SNORTS)

(AMY WHISTLES)

(HOOVES THUD)

(GATE CREAKS, LATCH CLANKS)

- JACK: So, we good here?
- Yeah, thanks, Jack.

(MACHINE BEEPS)

(WHIRRING)

Yeah, that's a clear image.

- Okay.
- Thanks.

Well, she's pretty dehydrated.

She must've been stuck on that bridge for a while.

Okay, I'll go get her some water.

Well, why don't you stay here with the foal?

- I'll go get the water.
- Okay.

Thanks, and then we need to treat the mare.

Sounds good.

You're okay.

(HORSES SNORT)

TY: Come on now, hup!

Block this corner. Hey, hey!

(SIGHS) I've gotta try to get this lead on her.

Easy...

(MARE WHINNIES SOFTLY)
Come on...

(FOAL WHINNIES)

Hey, hey.

(FOAL WHINNIES)

Easy...

All right.

Easy.

Good.

(HORSES SNORT)

(LOW WHINNIES)

(NICKERS SOFTLY)

Thanks for the pain k*ller.

It's messy, but it's working.

It's one of my mom's recipes.

You're gonna be okay, girl.

Easy... that's it.

We'll get you back to your baby as soon as we're done here.

(BIRD SCREECHES)

(MITCH CLUCKS TONGUE)

LOU: Here, just keep the change.

Hi!

How've you been?
I haven't seen you in months!

I'm-I'm good.

I'm really good.

How are you?

Can't complain.

- Why don't we...
- We should probably...

(BOTH LAUGH)

Why don't we get together, have a coffee or...

- something, sometime?
- Yeah, I'd like that.

Sooner than later.

- (EXHALES HAPPILY)
- How's Katie?

She's great, she's all grown up,

She um, flew to Vancouver to see her dad all on her own.

- Wow, big girl.
- Yeah.

Hey, anyway, I should probably get to the house, but...

Yeah, do you want me to help get those bags?

Oh, no, I'm good.

I'll text you.

(TAXI RUMBLES)

And Ty just eased that foal's foot right out of the bridge.

Oh, poor thing.

Luckily, nothing was broken.

Yeah, just some pulled muscles and tendons,

but she'll bounce back.

You guys are amazing.

That mare was pretty b*at up,

do you think she got kicked out of a herd?

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised.

So there's something I want to run by everyone.

I wasn't gonna mention anything,

but it's about Maggie's in New York.

Oh, here we go, it's always something.

That's not true. It's good news.

Speaking of news, did Georgie tell you about her article?

What article?

I'm sorry, I thought you told her.

Okay, this magazine wants to write an article about me.

Yeah, a whole thing about "future Olympians!"

- Really?
- Lisa: Wow!

But don't get your hopes up,

because I've decided I'm not doing it.

- Of course you're doing it.
- No, I'm not!

But why, honey?

I don't wanna put myself out there like that.

I'd rather stay under the radar.

Speaking of under the radar,

Tim,

someone said there was a "for sale" sign on Big River.

LISA: What?

Hm. Yeah, well, that someone would be right.

It was for sale, but I sold it.

- Today.
- You sold Big River?

Why didn't you tell us?

- Well, why would I tell you?
- Because you just do.

What if I upped and sold this place,

you wouldn't have a problem with that?

Well, you can't compare the two.

Big River hasn't been in the family for generations.

And what about our cattle?

Well, I leased back the property.

I just don't need the ranch house,

I don't need the whole thing.

What?
Don't look at me like that!

I... it's a big house!
I don't need a big house.

I made a list of things that I need,

things I don't need, and the ranch, Big River,

was on the list of things I do not need.

I've got more important things goin' on in my life.

Okay, maybe, but where are you gonna live?

Yeah. Good question.

I've got a plan.

A plan. What kind of plan would that be?

Uh, it's a temporary plan.

And when-when it's more permanent,

uh, you'll be the first to know.

So...

(CELL PHONE CHIMES)

Dean, hey, how are you?

Wait, tomorrow? No!

Uh, I-I'm not ready.

Well, I haven't even started to mix Bandit

with the other horses yet.

Because like I said, I need him to trust me first...

I understand, and...

a-a few days, definitely before her birthday.

Okay. Thank you.

Bye.

Dean Woodley. Not impressed.

Well, you'll get the job done,

I know you will.

So the foal's hydrated,

they both seem a lot more comfortable now, actually.

(SIGHS)

So, your Dad and Big River. Can you believe that?

No, actually.

I just can't believe that he didn't tell any of us

that he was selling.

Oh, it doesn't actually surprise me.

Going through what your Dad did,

It makes you stop, and reconsider your goals.

Maybe we should reconsider ours.

Is this about what you were...

talking about earlier?

Not really, but...

kinda, I guess.

Just, today.

You know, working with that mare and foal,

together, I really love that.

Well, so did I.

Maybe that's what I'm missing.

Well, just sharing.

- (SMALL LAUGH)
- (SIGHS)

And sharing experiences, not just with Lyndy,

not just with being parents, but...

with everything.

I just, I don't wanna lose us.

Well...

(SIGHS)

(HORSES WHINNY)

(NERVOUS SNORTS)

(AGITATED WHINNIES)

(PANICKED WHINNIES)

(SNORTING AND WHINNYING)

(LOW SNORTING)

Good job, Bandit, you're a good boy!

Good boy, yeah.

It's okay, it's okay...

You're all right, we're here.

(FOAL PANTS SHALLOWLY)

Oh, she's still breathing.

Oh, she's breathing,

but she's in shock.

(GATE CLANKS)

I heard all the bellowing. What's going on?

What can I do?

We need to get her in the barn.

It'll be much easier to keep her warm in there.

Okay, little girl, let's do this.

- Hey, easy.
- Here we go.

Easy, you can do it.

(PANICKED WHINNYING)

(NERVOUS SNORTS)

(FOAL SQUEALS)
There you go, good girl.

Good girl! All right, let's go!

It's okay, there you go.
Easy, easy.

- Yeah.
- (WHINNIES)

(MARE SNORTS NERVOUSLY)

(BANDIT NICKERS)

You need to do this interview.

- (SIGHS)
- It's a big deal.

I don't care!

Well, maybe you don't care, but what about Amy?

You know, she's been coaching you so well,

don't you think she deserves some credit, too?

You don't have to be shy about it.

This isn't about being shy.

Well, what then?

You don't get it.

Then explain it to me, Georgie.

(SIGHS) Okay.

I'm scared.

Does this have to do with the online bullying?

I don't wanna do anything that's gonna lead

to negative crap like that again, I couldn't handle it.

It took months for things to go back to normal,

you know that.

This is just gonna stir things up again.

Maybe. Maybe not.

You know, you can't let that hold you back, Georgie.

Regardless of whether or not
someone else

might be put out by it.

Trust me, I know how hard it is to make that kind of decision.

(SIGHS)

When do you have to let the magazine know by?

Tomorrow.

Okay, I get why you're hesitating, I do.

And whatever you decide is good with me, okay?

Night.

Goodnight.

(SIGHS)

(ROOSTER CROWS, BIRDS CHIRP)

(FOAL SNORTS QUIETLY)

- (LOW WHINNY)
- Yeah...

(FOAL SQUEALS)

(FOAL SNORTS)

It's still inflamed,

but it's way better than last night.

Think we can put her back with her Mamma?

(FOAL GRUNTS)

(WHINNIES)

Good, it's okay.

Look at that, you're doing well.

(GATE CREAKS, LATCH CLANKS)

It's okay, there you go.

Good girl.

(FOAL WHINNIES)

You got your baby.

(SIGHS) Look at Bandit.

(BANDIT NICKERS)

He's just staring at them.

You knew she was upset, didn't you?

It's okay, it's fine now, she has her baby.

You're a good boy, yes, you are.

Yeah! Do you wanna come say hi?

It's okay, Bandit's not gonna hurt you.

(MARE NICKERS) (FOAL WHINNIES)

(AMY LAUGHS)

Oh! (LAUGHS)

Wow, I've never seen Bandit take any interest

in another horse before.

Look at that.

(HORSES SNORT QUIETLY)

A step in the right direction.

(HORSES SNORT)

I better head to the clinic.

Wait, you haven't even slept yet.

I know, but I'm on the early shift, so...

(SIGHS DEEPLY)

Here's Mommy and Daddy!

Good morning, Pumpkin!

Hey! (LYNDY COOS)

AMY: Thanks, Georgie.

- Hey! Hey!
- (LYNDY LAUGHS)

- Down.
- TY AND AMY: Down?

Okay, if you have any trouble with the foal,

- give me a call, all right?
- Okay.

You know, I didn't mean to be so down.

I really wouldn't change anything.

Except maybe having you around more.

I think you made that loud and clear.

(DOOR OPENS)


Bye, Daddy. (DOOR SHUTS)

(ENGINE TURNS)

(ENGINE ROARS)

(BIRDS CHIRP)

(SUV RUMBLES)

(CUSTOMERS CHATTER QUIETLY)

What're you doing here?
Did you follow me in here?

How could I follow in here?
I was here first.

What're you doing here?

Lou! Oh.

- Hi.
- Oh...

- Thanks. Hi.
- Hi.

What... what was Mitch doing here?

What? I don't have a clue.

Well, more to the point, what are you doing here?

Oh...

Oh my gosh! Are you kidding me?!

(GASPS)

Is this what you meant last night,

about realizing what's really important in life?

What? No! Yeah. What?

Are-are you looking at engagement rings?

Are you? (GASPS) You are!

I knew it! Oh my gosh!

Of course that's what you're doing!

It makes so much sense!

I'm right, aren't I? I'm always right about this stuff.

All right, stop talking!

I'm gonna... propose to Casey.

I'm-I'm gonna ask her to marry me.

Dad!

Oh my God!

Is Casey gonna come back from the rodeo circuit

and then you guys move into her place?

Or... oh! You guys are gonna buy a place together!

Lou, stop it, please, I never should've told you.

- You can't tell anyone!
- Can I get some help, please?

No one! I don't even know why I told you in the first place,

you can't keep a secret if your life depended on it.

Dad! I swear I will not tell a soul.

Can we just see this whole tray, please?

I'm just excited, you know?

And... but why was Mitch helping you choose?

Why would I need Mitch's help?

Thank you. Well then, why was he here?

And why did he run away from me like that?

Why was he looking at jewelry?

No! No-no-no. No.
It can't be that.

I mean, that's crazy.

For a minute there, I thought... but no, that's ridiculous.

I mean, we've been keeping in touch, and texting, but...

Oh, don't go there, Lou.

But Dad, he said he wants to see me.

Sooner rather than later, and I haven't even phoned him yet.

I guess I should.

But no, that's ridiculous, right?

Yeah, this is ridiculous.

Okay, but the point is,

you are not buying this ring for Casey without my input.

So we'll look at these,

and then we'll go for a nice, celebratory lunch.

I have something really important

I wanna talk to you about.

But what could be more important

than this teardrop-shaped ring? It is gorgeous, I'm thinking...

(WATER RUNS, DISH CLATTERS)

- (SIGHS)
- A little jumpy?

You okay?

Okay, so I've decided to do this interview,

and it's probably the most stupid decision I've ever made,

and it's all your fault!

Oh, it's my fault, is it?

Yeah, you and Mom.

She guilted me into doing this because she says

you're my coach and you deserve the credit,

which is true, you do, but...

now I'm doing it!

Georgie, don't do this for me, okay?

I don't need the credit. Do it for you.

Absolutely, honey. When is it?

This afternoon. The writer's coming with a photographer.

- Good.
- You're gonna be there, right?

They're gonna wanna talk to you.

I will try, okay?

But I have so much to do today.

I've got Bandit's owner breathing down my neck.

I have to watch out for that foal,

and I have to find a way to calm down the mare.

LISA: Well, don't forget that Lyndy and I

are spending the entire day together.

- I appreciate that.
- Yeah.

Hey, this interview is about you.

Not your coach.
You're gonna be great.

- (PUPPY WHIMPERS)
- Okay, okay.

All right, all right.

Okay...

(PHONE BUTTONS BEEP)

(SIGHS)

Hi Mrs. Wagner, it's Dr. Borden calling.

Yeah, Sushi's fine, he's right here.

I updated him up on all his vaccinations,

so you won't have to make another trip in.

Yeah, you can pick him up first thing in the morning.

All right, I'll see you then.

(SUSHI WHIMPERS)

(BEEPS PHONE OFF)

(SUSHI BARKS)

LOU: It's perfect.

I mean, look how it catches the light.

She's gonna love it.

So, how are you gonna propose?
And where?

- You should probably do it soon.
- Lou, that's it!

- Please, stop.
- What?

I've already told you enough, okay?

And I'm starting to regret it.

Now you asked me to come here 'cause you had something

you wanted to discuss, what is it?

Okay. I have a bit of a dilemma.

- You know Nicole, my partner?
- Yeah, I know who Nicole is.

So you know this past year hasn't exactly been easy,

and she's seen how torn I've been,

running back and forth, trying to be all things to everyone.

So, Nicole has offered to buy me out

of the Maggie's franchise in New York.

- Buy you out?
- Yes.

How would that work?

- Cash settlement?
- Exactly.

And I would still be considered an investor,

so I would get a percentage of all future profits.

I mean, she's making me a very generous offer.

It would a bit of a windfall,

but to walk away from a project I've worked so hard on,

and sacrificed so much for, I just...

I need your advice.

And I know you're probably gonna tell me

- to just stick with it.
- No, take it.

Let her take over.
Let her take control.

We know how hard you've worked, and what you've sacrificed.

Give yourself a bonus.

- Really?
- Yeah.

Step back, take the deal.

Now, a year ago I might've had a different opinion, but...

- I know, but still...
- And think of the upside.

Huh? The money? Both of us, me selling Big River,

you selling your share in Maggie's in New York City,

- whew!
- It's tempting.

I mean, just stepping back into my life,

being with my daughters day to day,

you know, just getting back to normal.

And maybe getting back to normal with somebody else,

considering I saw them shopping for rings...

and jewellery.

Hey, I'm kidding, I'm just kidding.

(CELL PHONE BUZZES)

Oh good, Georgie's gonna do that interview.

Okay, I've gotta go.

But thank you for the advice.

Keep me in the proposal loop,

because this is very exciting.

- Lou.
- Oh!

There you go. Bye!

(BOX SNAPS CLOSED) (DOOR OPENS)

(TIM SIGHS)

(DOOR SLAMS SHUT)

(REMI BARKS, TRUCK RUMBLES)

Hey.

You're home early, is everything all right?

(DOOR BANGS)

You wanna take a walk?

So I've been wrapping my head around what you said.

How I walk out the door, go off to work,

and I leave all my parental responsibilities to you.

Ty, that's not what I meant.

You were right though, Amy.

And that's gotta change.

I feel pulled in all directions, too.

- Ty...
- Just hear me out, okay?

'Cause I got an idea.

The last two years, I've loved my work.

Traveling, helping causes that are important to me,

causes that make a difference.

I gained a lot from it, I really have.

But there was a price.

I miss spending time with you.

And with Lyndy.

And now, my work at the clinic, it's...

it's just standard stuff, I mean, I'm inoculating cats,

and dogs, and maybe the odd surgery.

And that's great.

I just don't feel like I'm contributing

the same way anymore.

But yesterday,

when you and I were working with that foal,

bringing her back to health...

Yeah.

I realized I can make a difference right here,

on my own doorstep.

Do you remember that dream that we had when I graduated

from vet school?

Why don't we make that a reality?

What do you mean?

I talked to Scott.

I asked if I could cut my hours back,

so I could spend more time working with you,

and helping out with Lyndy, and he agreed.

But Ty, you're gonna take a huge pay cut.

- This...
- No, I'm not.

Because you and I are going to build a business.

I want us to be partners!
I want us to work together.

Like we dreamed about.

- Are you sure?
- Yes, I'm sure.

This is exactly what I want.

We're in this together, okay?

Yeah, okay.

(BOTH EXHALE HAPPILY AND LAUGH)

So Georgie tell me a little about your horse.

I mean, I understand Phoenix here

came in as a bit of an underdog.

- He sure showed everybody.
- Yeah, he did.

(CAMERA SHUTTER SNAPS
REPEATEDLY)

Phoenix is amazing.

We both got here around the same time.

I guess you could say we were both strays.

INTERVIEWER: Who would you say is your biggest supporter?

Your role model?

GEORGIE: I could never choose just one person.

My adopted family is filled with a long line

of strong, independent women.

My grandmother, Marion, was a renowned horsewoman,

just like my Aunt Amy, who is also my coach.

I couldn't have achieved anything without Amy.

She helped me through the good times and the bad.

All these women are my mentors.

And I know I have very big shoes to fill.

(PHOENIX SNORTS)

GEORGIE: And then there's my Mom, Lou.

She's amazing.

She never gives up.

Hey.

Hey!

Thanks for coming out here.

I'm glad we could meet up.

Me too.

Well, are you happy to be back?

Even if it is just for a short visit?

Actually, I'm in a position right now

to decide whether to take a step back.

Right yeah, I've heard that before.

No. Really.

Okay, I'll believe you this time.

(SMALL LAUGH)

Actually Lou, I'm-I'm glad that we were able to...

stay in touch, even if it was just over text.

Me too.

I love that we can just reach out to each other,

no matter where we are, and...

stay in touch.

You know, but I think there are some things

that you can't say over text.

That you have to say in person.

I agree.

And that's why I'm glad you came up here.

Because...

well, because I wanted to tell you...

I'm dating again.

I'm seeing people.

A-a person, I'm-I'm seeing a person.

I'm dating someone.

Oh. Oh!

Wow, that's...

- (EXHALES) that's amazing.
- Really?

Yeah, no, I'm so happy for you.

This is such a relief to hear you say that.

(RELIEVED EXHALE)

GEORGIE: I'm especially proud of my Mom,

because she is so strong and centered,

and she knows exactly what she wants.

(TRUCK RUMBLES)

TIM: Casey? Hi, honey, I got you on speakerphone,

I hope you can hear me.

Um, if traffic's good, I'm gonna be down in Kalispell

in about three hours, okay? So I'll see you then.

Love you!

(PHONE BEEPS OFF)

(CELL PHONE RINGS)

Hello?

Hello?

Aunt Evelyn, is... hi!

Oh my, I'm-I'm so glad to hear from you!

I've been worried! What's going on?

Oh no, oh dear.

I'm so sorry to hear that. Well, can I...

Oh, you... join you?

I don't-I don't know if I can...
I can pull that off.

No, of course I wanna come see you.

I-I... can you, I'm just, I'm gonna...

let me check my commitments, and then get back to you,

is that all right?

Okay, I'll... I-yes, I promise.

I promise. Okay, I love you.

You take care.

All right bye, bye.
