13x01 - Snakes and Ladders

Post by bunniefuu »

AMY: Previously on "Heartland" Do you remember that dream that we had when I graduated from vet school?

Why don't we make that a reality?

I want us to be partners.

I want us to work together.

TIM: This is a working cattle ranch, Jack.

Where are we gonna put a whole herd of wild horses?

Those horses meant everything to Will and I'm not about to let my friend down.

ANNOUNCER: 55 seconds!

And that's your fastest time of the day, folks!

- She's going to Europe!

- (LAUGHING)

When I saw these trees, I knew they were perfect for a swing.

And this is the door that we're gonna bring our Christmas tree through.

- Guess we're building a house.

- Lisa and I think that well, since you spend so much time in the house already, - you might as well move back in.

- Thank you.

It doesn't mean a weekend in the country.

We can give him a home.

So maybe we're asking ourselves the wrong question.

We should be asking ourselves if we have space in our life for Luke.

- I think I do.

- I think I do too.

(GIGGLING)

Look at the horses!

(GIGGLING)

- Look at you!

You're flying!

- (GIGGLING)

Not too high, Luke.

I won't.

Good job!

Both: (LAUGHING)

PA: Attention all passengers (MUFFLED ANNOUNCEMENT)

We are now boarding priority passengers.

Ty: Can you believe it?

We're standing in our living room right now.

- It's pretty amazing.

- Right?

I'm gonna be looking at this view, drinking my morning coffee.

BOTH: (LAUGHING)

- Hey, guys!

- Hey!

So progress, huh?

Yeah, it's looking great, Lee!

I love it!

Can you please let your father know that, 'cause Tim keeps coming over and checking on things and giving me that uh "look".

Yeah, we know that "look".

Don't worry about Tim, okay?

Ty, we should probably get going.

I still have a bunch of horses to work with.

- Right.

- So business is good?

- Yeah.

- Better than ever.

- Great news.

- Okay, guys, let's head out!

- 'Kay.

Thanks!

- See ya.

(GATE CLANKS)

Do you mind saddling the Paint?

I think I'll start working with the Bay.

Yeah.

(TRUCK RUMBLES)

Are we expecting a client?

Whose truck is that?

Ah, it's Kirk Jackson.

What?

No.

His horse has a problem, Amy.

He's here now, - we might as well talk to him.

- I told you, I've got a gut feeling about him.

- It's business.

- I know, but Ty, I mean, he calls at all hours of the day and night.

I tell him we're booked solid and he doesn't listen.

He just a total bully!

We're not treating Kirk, we're treating his horse.

- (ANNOYED SIGH)

- Okay?

It'll be fine.

Hey, Kirk!

Sorry we've had a hard time booking you in.

Don't give me excuses.

You've been ignoring my calls, putting me off.

No, that is not true.

Like I told you You know what?

I just took the bull by the horns and came over.

Like I said, I need you to look at Sarge, and I need you to do it now.

And I told you that we are so busy with our other client horses, I couldn't possibly spend the kind "Kind of time that you would wanna spend with him.

" Yeah, I heard you the first time.

Maybe we can book you in in a couple of weeks.

That's not soon enough.

(LOUD BANGING AND THUMPING, HORSE WHINNIES)

Whoa!

(SARGE WHINNIES)

Whoa!

Sarge!

Easy!

Easy!

Calm down!

Calm!

This horse is crazy!

He won't let anyone ride him!

He bites me!

And I finally found some joker who's interested in buying him, so I need him to rideable by next week.

A week is not enough time, Kirk.

Are you gonna take him or not?

I'm sorry, Kirk.

We can't right now, okay?

Just please, bring him back in a week.

(SARGE GRUNTS)

No.

Forget it.

I've had it with this operation.

Come on!

(SARGE GRUNTS AND SNORTS)

Sarge!

- Whoa.

Hey, let me help you.

- I got it!

I'm fine, thank you!

(LOUD BANGING)

You know what?

You guys have gotten way too big for your boots, and it's gonna come back and bite you.

(LOUD CLANG)

It's gonna bite you hard!

(SARGE WHINNIES, AGITATED)

And at the break of day you sank into Your dream You dreamer Oh, oh, oh, oh You dreamer You dreamer (TRUCK RUMBLES)

GEORGIE: I can't even describe how amazing Switzerland was!

We traveled all over Europe, too.

It was amazing.

(CHUCKLES)

Well, I'm glad you had such a good experience.

We did sure miss you.

Look at all those guys.

- Clients?

- Yeah, yeah.

Amy and Ty, they can barely keep up.

Great!

Maybe I can help out.

(SIGHS)

Good to be home!

LISA: Georgie, tell me more.

How were all the other riders?

Um, they were really nice.

Most of them anyway.

There was a lot of stiff competition, but I learned a lot.

Good!

And you must have had a really fun time with your mom and Katie the last week.

- Yeah!

- I thought that you were gonna travel around a little bit more with them.

I wanted to, but I needed to make sure I was home for Phoenix's flight.

You can still help me pick him up from the airport tomorrow, - right?

- Yeah, of course.

I will make time for that.

Oh good, lasagna.

Again.

A Lisa special.

(CLEARS HER THROAT)

Uh, Tim, have to have a toast before we eat, remember?

Oh, right.

There's a, uh, order to these things.

I forget.

Toast!

And eye contact.

Wouldn't be a good toast without a little Eye contact.

(GLASSES CLINK)

Welcome back, Georgie.

- Welcome home!

- Welcome home, Georgie!

Cheers.

How's that house of yours coming?

Well, I guess you can't really call it a house since it's all plywood and concrete.

- Dad - Well, I told you from the beginning gotta have the right contractor.

And we have.

- Don't give me that "look".

- The way that guy's going, he's not gonna have that house finished until Lyndy's ready to move out and go to college.

Right, Lyndy?

I don't know how you all are living together in that tiny little loft.

Must be driving each other crazy.

(CRICKETS CHIRP)

(KEYBOARD KEYS CLACK)

(SIGHS)

You know, I really hate to admit this, but I think my dad was right.

We were naive to think the four of us could live in here until our house was built.

(SIGHS)

I know.

It's been bugging me too that Luke has to sleep in the living room.

We have to figure out something.

Yeah We do.

Amy.

Look at this.

Kirk.

(TY READS)

"Just experienced the most unprofessional treatment ever.

After a crazy wait for an appointment they still turned me away.

They've obviously become a bit too elite for everyday folks with horse problems.

I give them a big fat zero for service.

MY ADVICE: stay clear of Amy and Ty Borden and their so-called business!

" (DISGUSTED SIGH)

GEORGIE: "Don't be fooled by this 'fake' service they're offering.

They're inexperienced and flailing, not to mention, rude.

" So the guy's name is Kirk Jackson?

- Yeah.

- I knew his dad.

Did odd jobs around the rodeo grounds.

Terrible guy.

There's comments.

"Thanks for the heads up.

I was thinking of taking my horse to them, - but no way!

" - Great.

Amy, I know you're not gonna agree with me, but But what?

I think we should take a step back on this and take Kirk on.

If he keeps this up, he could ruin us.

Maybe he'll stop if we just ignore him.

I wouldn't count on it.

Take it from me.

I just hate the idea of groveling.

I hate the thought of losing clients.

Yeah, because even though you're doing well now, most small businesses fail in the first year.

So you don't wanna take any chances.

Little bad publicity magically opened up a space, huh?

That's good thinking.

Anyway, let's make sure we're on the same page.

If your wife can't help me out here, I'm gonna have to get rid of ol' Sarge.

One way or another.

Right, boy?

Huh?

Is that meat truck gonna come and get you?

Huh?

(CHUCKLES)

Oh, what?

Is that too much information?

You think he understands what I'm talking about?

No way.

This horse is as dumb as that hitching post.

He needs to be told what to do and when to do it.

And that's your job.

Let me know when you done it!

(LIGHT TAP)

(ANNOYED EXHALE)

Look, I am only doing this for the horse.

I know.

C'mon, Sarge.

Hey, hey, easy easy (SARGE WHINNIES)

(HOOVES THUD, SARGE GRUNTS AND SNORTS)

Come on, now.

Ho Ho Let's try something else.

(EXHALES)

All right, come on!

(CLUCKS TONGUE)

If you wanna run, you can run.

Let's go!

Ha!

Hey-yah!

Hey, hey, hey.

Come on.

Let's go!

Let's go!

Yeah, you're watching.

That's it.

(CLUCKS HER TONGUE)

Hi!

That's better.

There you go (CLUCKS HER TONGUE)

Come on.

(CLUCKS HER TONGUE)

(MOTORCYCLE RUMBLES)

Good boy (MOTORCYCLE BACKFIRES, AGITATED SNORTS AND GRUNTS)

(SIGHS HEAVILY)

Sorry.

You still working with him?

(SIGHS)

Yeah, but I gotta go take Georgie to the airport, so I should probably put him in one of those back stalls.

Do you mind grabbing that shank for me?

- Yeah.

- This horse is such a bully.

He is just like Kirk.

I've got ten other client horses that I'm supposed to be working with right now.

And I know it's not Sarge's fault he is the way he is, so I'll keep working with him.

Thanks.

- Whoa, whoa!

- Ty, it's okay.

Just let him go.

Maybe the other horses will teach him some manners.

You drink too much coffee, Tim.

Why don't you try some of this uh nice organic tea of mine.

It's really wonderful for the digestive system.

Nothing wrong with my digestion.

Oh, I don't know.

We share a bathroom.

- (REFRESHED SIGH)

- Please don't drink milk straight from the carton, Tim, or wipe your mouth with a tea towel that I dry dishes with!

Tim!

I'm not asking, I'm telling you.

You know, you might've grown up on a fancy horse-breeding farm, but you'd think by now you might've dropped some of those airs and graces.

Airs and graces?!

Oh sure, that is so me.

- Airs and graces - I I would say that we need to get along.

We're all under the same roof here.

We invited him to stay, remember?

I don't care.

I-I have tried to be patient, but I've just about had it with this living situation.

This cannot go on.

He needs to find his own place, and you better tell him.

Now!

(MUMBLING)

I better What?

(COFFEE MACHINE PERCOLATES)

(FOOTSTEPS ASCENDING STAIRS)

I needed a quiet place to have a coffee.

You don't mind.

Okay.

So let me tell you about my roommates.

It's true what they say about old people getting set in their ways.

Everything's gotta be done just so.

Especially Lisa.

She's driving me crazy.

There's not room in that house for the two of us.

Yeah, well, try living in a loft with two kids.

You should move back into the house.

Well, you'd love that.

Even more people under foot.

Nuh-unh.

No.

I'm tired of walking on eggshells.

I gotta live on my own again.

That's the bottom line.

But I don't know, how do I tell them?

They'll probably be insulted or something.

(SIGHS)

Huh.

Here's an idea.

You should move back into the house, and then this place would be available, right, and I could move in here.

And that way Jack and Lisa wouldn't be hurt 'cause I'd be around.

I could I could help them, you know?

- Uh I, I don't - No, that could work.

I can see that.

Like bachelor pad.

(CHUCKLES)

Right?

Thanks for the coffee.

It's okay.

Luke, have you seen Tim?

He was upstairs with Ty, but he left a few minutes ago.

Oh (INHALES DEEPLY)

You know, I can't help but see the terrific bond between you and this horse.

You must want to ride him.

- I can ride him.

- Yeah?

That's funny, 'cause I've never seen you ride him.

Swear you won't tell?

Yes, I swear I won't tell.

I love Boots and I wanna ride him, it's just I don't know, I You're scared.

That's okay.

It's good to have a healthy respect for any horse.

It's not respect; it's fear.

'Kay, well, let me tell you something.

I have made it my job to teach every member of this family how to ride and you are no exception.

Starting today.

- Today?

- That's right, today.

I'll tell you something else.

No one, not one child, not one adult, has ever failed the Jack Bartlett cowboy boot camp.

(SCARED, SHALLOW BREATHS)

Now we already talked about how you make him go and how you make him stop, right?

Right 'Kay, now I'm gonna stand in the middle here and you can ride around me.

You ready?

'Kay, kick him up.

Yup.

That's nice.

That's real good.

That's real good.

Now, you can see I've still got him, so you're not going anywhere.

Yup, yup.

Now you wanna be real clear with the signals you give to your horse.

Okay What signals?

Well, that's a good question.

If you want Boots to turn, you need to use your reins.

So left rein for a left turn.

And at the same time, give him just a little nudge on his side with your right leg.

Left rein right leg.

(BOOTS GRUNTS NERVOUSLY)

Whoa!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

You see, now there, I think you gave him a little too much pressure with your leg.

You gotta think of it as the same amount of pressure you use when you pet a dog.

Come on.

(BOOTS GRUNTS NERVOUSLY)

Ahh!

Whoa!

Whoa - You got this.

- No!

I don't like it.

Okay.

Stay up there.

You're all right.

No.

I want down!

Fine.

You want off, get off.

I taught you how to dismount.

Ungh!

(PHOENIX WHINNIES)

Phoenix!

Hey, bud!

Easy easy it's okay.

Dr.

Sharma.

I'm the resident vet here.

Hi.

Amy Fleming.

This is Georgie.

It's her horse, Phoenix.

It's okay, we're gonna get you home.

I'm sorry, I'm afraid your horse can't go home.

- Not yet.

- Why?

There's been an incident.

What incident?

I'm afraid all three horses being transported were exposed to a contaminated feed bucket.

Contaminated with what?

The handler was in previous contact with a horse with suspected equine influenza.

But he's vaccinated for that!

The vaccine only protects against certain strains of the virus.

So your horse has to be quarantined for at least 21 days.

- 21 days?

No!

Phoenix is so stressed already.

Amy, we have to do something!

My husband is a vet.

Could we quarantine Phoenix at our ranch?

I'm sorry, I don't think so.

He-he has quarantined horses for clients in the past.

You understand I have to do the necessary bloodwork first.

And, of course, I need your husband's credentials and proof that you have the proper facilities to handle this.

Otherwise, I can't release your horse to you.

I understand.

We'll wait for you to do the bloodwork, and I'll make sure to get you all the paperwork you need.

Okay.

(HORSE WHINNIES)

Thanks so much for doing this, Ty!

It means a lot.

It's fine.

I'm glad to help.

All the horses are in the field or in the back stall, so barn's clean and we're good to go.

'Kay, great.

Thank you, guys.

Okay, honey.

(HOOVES CLOP)

(FOOTSTEPS SCUFF)

(LATCH RATTLES)

(HEAVY EXHALE)

(METALLIC CLANGS)

We need to talk.

Yeah, we need to talk.

I'm not quite sure how to say this, but I've been thinking about it a lot.

What?

What have you been thinking?

Amy and Ty living up there.

They shouldn't be living up there in that loft with two kids, crowded together like that.

They should be livin' in the house with you guys.

That's what they want.

They just hate to ask you and Lisa.

Why would they hate to ask us?

Oh, come on, they're embarrassed.

After all you've done for them so far?

But it's gonna be crowded in there too, so Well, with me living there, I think I think I'm gonna move out.

I think that I've been a guest long enough.

It's time.

- Wait, are you moving out?

- Aw.

Don't get your feelings all hurt.

Well, where are you gonna go?

I mean You know you're welcome to stay.

Ah, don't worry about me.

Just don't say anything to Ty and Amy, please.

It's in confidence.

So if you're gone, there is more room for Ty and Amy and Lyndy, but there's Luke.

What about Luke?

Oh right, Luke.

Yeah, he wasn't part of the plan.

Is he gonna be around here much longer?

Well, it doesn't matter, he's here now.

Well, let me think.

Katie's got a big room.

It's huge.

We could make that into two bedrooms.

I could build a wall.

See, Lyndy and Katie could live in the one bedroom, Luke can live in the other one.

That's perfect.

That's perfect.

(LATCH CLANKS, GATE GROANS)

(HORSES WHINNY, GATE CLANKS)

(WHINNYING)

Hey!

Get away from him!

Hey!

(SNORTING AND GRUNTING)

Hey!

Go on!

Shh!

Get away from Champ!

Hey, how're doin', boy?

Easy (WHINNIES WILDLY)

Whoa!

Ungh!

Ahhh!

Easy, easy, easy (SNORTING)

Easy Oof.

Oh, the gate.

Where's Sarge?

(LATCH CLANKS)

Ugh!

Get away from him!

(SARGE WHINNIES WILDLY)

Oh hey, hey.

Easy!

(SARGE SCREAMS)

Ugh!

Go on!

Go on!

(SARGE GRUNTS AND SNORTS)

Are you sure Phoenix only had contact with him for a few minutes?

That's all I saw.

Just a nose touch, that's it.

Okay.

Well, like I said before, we're not gonna know for sure that Phoenix isn't sick until I get the results back from his bloodwork.

So until then, we're gonna have to keep a close eye on both - Sarge and Phoenix.

- So how am I gonna work - with Sarge?

- Let's not worry about that until we have to worry about that, okay?

New subject.

Lisa and I have been thinking.

You kids are awfully crowded up there in that loft of yours.

Now wouldn't it be better if you considered, well Moving in here again, until your new house is finished.

You two can take Amy's old bedroom and Lyndy can share with Katie 'cause there's plenty of room in there.

- Um - I-I agree that we're crowded.

I mean, we have talked about that for sure.

But if we moved in here, where would Luke sleep?

Well Can I be excused?

Sure.

All right, well, here's the plan for Luke.

I'm gonna take Katie's huge room and turn it into two.

I'm gonna build a wall.

A wall?

A wall.

Okay.

Well, does that mean the loft will be free?

'Cause maybe I could move in.

Ooh!

That's great.

Then Luke would have a room, we could all fit, and we wouldn't have to build a wall.

Yeah, okay, okay, but Dad, if we take over my old bedroom, that kicks you out.

You could stay in Lou's room for a couple weeks, but then she'll be back, so Well, actually, I was kinda thinking about moving into the loft.

Oh, well, you take it then.

- You're sure?

- Yeah.

Really.

It's yours.

I'll stay in the house.

Okay then, I'll build a wall.

(SIGHS HEAVILY)

Hey Hey!

Just thought I'd check on him, take his temperature.

Oh.

Uh is-is that normal?

The froth?

Uh, it's probably nothing, but I'll do a blood test and nasal swab and have it analyzed in the morning.

He does have a bit of a fever, Georgie, but that just might be the effects of the flight.

Okay.

Hey, it's okay.

(SPRING PEEPERS PEEP)

(PHONE VIBRATES AND DINGS)

Who is that?

It's from the airport vet office.

They got the results from Phoenix's bloodwork.

It's not equine flu.

He's been exposed to vesicular stomatitis.

That's a reportable disease.

And that means It means the whole ranch is under quarantine, not just Phoenix.

AMY: Yes, the ranch is under quarantine, but I just wanted to reassure you that your horse was never in contact with the affected horse.

So what is vesicular stomatitis?

It's a virus.

It's extremely contagious, so you need to make sure you wear gloves at all times, and if you're up close, Georgie, you gotta wear a mask.

Well, we're not quite sure how it happened, Jim.

It could have been a handler not decontaminating a feed tray.

How did he get it then?

Do you think it was the feed tray, like they thought?

I don't know.

I talked to Dr.

Sharma this morning and they're still trying to figure out the source - of the contamination.

- Mrs.

Grant.

Please.


We have it under control.

The quarantine will be lifted two weeks after the last affected horse shows any symptoms, and then Goldie will be free to go.

I'll give him some anti inflammatories, and a dose of antibiotics will help with any secondary bacterial infection.

No, she's doing fine, and we're keeping a close eye.

I'm sorry too.

The most important thing is we keep the environment sterile and he has zero contact with other horses.

(PHONE BEEPS OFF)

(SIGHS HEAVILY)

Hi.

Look.

Froth.

Yeah, that's a symptom.

I'll do the bloodwork.

I was just about to call Kirk Jackson.

Honestly, I don't know how this could get any worse.

(KEYPAD BEEPS, AMY SIGHS)

Hey, Kirk.

This is Amy Fleming.

Can you give me a call as soon as you get this message?

Thanks.

I guess I'll just email him.

Look, we've done all we can, Amy.

All right?

You let the clients know about the outbreak, and I'm sure they're confident that we're gonna keep their horses safe.

It'll be fine.

- Okay.

- All right.

I want my horse.

I want her now!

My daughter has a show this weekend.

I'm sorry, Mrs.

Grant, but we can't let you take her.

- The ranch is under - Quarantine!

I know that!

How did you let this happen?

It was an in-flight problem, okay?

A horse traveling from the Tropics had been previously exposed to vesicular stomatitis.

Now the palette wasn't properly decontaminated before Phoenix was boarded.

Now, a federal vet has already come to our ranch and cleared all the horses of any diseases.

So far.

I am horrified that your horse was quarantined here to begin with.

He should've been kept in a proper clinic where he didn't endanger other horses.

Mrs.

Grant, we have done everything we can.

We have taken all the necessary steps.

We have notified all the pertinent authorities.

- Doesn't help the situation!

- Look, I understand how upsetting this is, okay?

I get it, I do.

Amy and I are gonna do everything we can to keep you updated on this situation every step of the way.

Please, believe me.

I guess I don't have a choice.

We'll be in touch with any news that we have.

I promise.

Come on, Phoenix.

You gotta drink some, bud.

Come on.

(PHOENIX GRUNTS, DISINTERESTED)

(WORRIED SIGH)

And now he's got a blister.

He's getting worse, isn't he?

Georgie, we can flush his mouth out with an antiseptic solution.

That'll help the blister.

Amy, uh, could you just stand over with Jack.

You gotta wear a mask and gloves otherwise.

This is all my fault.

I was the one who convinced you guys to let us quarantine him here.

It was my idea too, Georgie.

You just did that to make me feel better.

I should've let them keep him at the airport like they wanted.

He's gonna get over this, you'll see.

(MUFFLED CRYING)

(CRYING)

- Hey.

- (GASPS)

What's up?

It's Boots.

What if he gets sick?

He won't.

As long as he's well away from the barn, he'll be fine.

He's just out in the field standing there.

Yeah, well, (CHUCKLES)

he's probably bored.

Maybe a trail ride would perk him up.

How can we go anywhere?

The ranch is under quarantine.

Oh, this is a big ranch.

Anyway, I told you.

I'm afraid.

Yeah, and I told you we'd get you past that.

- I don't really see why.

- Well, I'll tell you why.

It's 'cause anyone who lives at Heartland knows how to ride.

Who knows how long I'll live here?

My mom's gonna get better.

Of course she's gonna come back, but you're here as long as you need to be and want to be.

- You know that.

- No, I don't.

I heard Tim talking to you.

About what?

About Amy and Ty moving into the house.

He wasn't sure where I'd fit.

Well, you'll fit just fine.

And while you're living here, you are family, right?

Come on, let's go for that ride.

(TRUCK DOOR BANGS SHUT)

How stupid can you be, huh?

Tell me!

You let my horse come in contact with some incurable disease?

It's not incurable, Kirk.

- I'll tell you how it happened.

- I don't care how it happened, it happened!

And now my horse is sick!

Sarge is fighting it off, Kirk.

He was in good physical condition when he came to Heartland, okay?

He's doing a lot better than the horse that was carrying it.

Oh, that's supposed to make me feel better, is it?

I'm getting Sarge out of here!

Open this gate!

- Open the gate!

- I can't.

The ranch is under quarantine.

Sarge stays.

No.

No way!

I'm so done with you guys!

I'm taking him with me!

I can't let you do that.

It's against the law.

If anything happens to my horse Why does he even care?

You're looking good.

- I am?

- (CHUCKLES)

Yup.

You know, Luke, I've been thinking about you and this fear you have.

I think maybe you've been used to looking after your mom, like it was your responsibility.

And she's your mom of course you wanna take care of her, but maybe - now it's just my opinion - but I think you might feel like you need to control every situation you come up against.

And when you can't control something, well, you kind of lose it, right?

I think that's probably why you're so worried about about riding Boots.

You don't think you can control him and that makes you feel pretty darn vulnerable.

You don't like to feel that way, do ya?

I wanna help you see that riding, like many things in life, has a lot to do with trust.

So I want you to do something.

I want you to close your eyes.

Go on.

Close your eyes.

I'm right beside you.

I'm not gonna let anything bad happen to you.

I want you to feel your horse movin'.

'Kay?

Here we go.

Feel your horse movin' and feel the trust that your horse has in you.

(EXCITED BREATHS)

He's okay with me, isn't he?

Yes, he is.

Boots doesn't want me to be afraid of riding him.

He wants me to like it.

That's exactly right.

See, you two have a bond and Boots is not about to break it.

(RELIEVED SIGH)

Okay.

Yeah, thanks for letting me know.

All right.

Bye.

(PHONE BEEPS OFF)

What was that about?

Caleb, he's at Maggie's right now, and, apparently, Kirk's going around telling anyone who will listen that we're putting our client horses in danger.

Kirk's blaming the whole quarantine on us, saying we're k*lling his horse and everyone else's.

(SIGHS)

This is getting way out of hand.

And you know what, Ty?

I told you.

I instinctively knew that we shouldn't have taken on Kirk or his horse, but you didn't listen and now it's a disaster.

You're right.

We shouldn't have taken him on.

This is my fault, so I know why we did it and I agreed to it too, so let's just move past this, okay?

I'm-I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to Ah, you don't have to apologize, Amy.

You should (LOUD THUNK)

Oh!

(EXASPERATED SIGH)

I told Luke to keep this in the barn!

Ty, hey, hey.

Maybe grandpa's idea isn't so bad.

We need more room, clearly, and I feel bad for Luke.

He really should have a space of his own.

More privacy.

(LYNDY BABBLES)

Guess who's up?

Hi, sweetheart.

Oh You wanna go see Papa?

(LYNDY BABBLES)

Yeah, you love your bunny.

Yeah, you're right.

We should take Jack and Lisa up on their offer.

Let's do it.

Yeah, Tim can have his bachelor pad.

His what?

Those are his words, not mine.

Oh, the thought of my dad in a bachelor pad - Come on, let's pack up.

- (LAUGHING)

(BIRDS CHIRP)

This is all Heartland?

Yeah.

It's so big!

It's like having your own kingdom.

Well, I don't know about that, but the family and the property, it goes back generations.

Over a hundred years.

Whoa Come on.

There's something I want you to see.

So Georgie's still good with this, right?

Uh, yeah.

But to be honest, I don't think she's thinking about it right now.

(SIGHS HEAVILY, STAMPS FOOT LIGHTLY)

(GLOVES SNAP)

How's it going?

Phoenix isn't getting better.

He's worse.

Well, he's hanging in.

He'll pull through.

You gotta hang in, too.

Moving in?

Uh, starting to.

I hope you don't mind me camping out down here.

I've gotta be with him in case anything happens.

No, I don't mind a downstairs roommate.

And Georgie, you gotta put that mask back on.

I don't want you catching this.

Yeah, I know.

(SIGHS)

(SIGHS)

Hey, why don't you stay in the loft tonight.

You need your rest.

This is important.

Well, if you're sure.

I'm sure.

Thanks.

Mask.

That's a big hill for these guys to climb, hey?

We'll just park 'em over here, Luke.

Well, this is the family cemetery.

Really?

Your own cemetery?

That's so cool!

- (CHUCKLES)

Finnamore Bartlett?

Finnamore?

Yeah.

That was my great-great uncle, but everybody called him Finn.

No surprise there, huh?

(CHUCKLES)

Mary Bartlett.

My great-grandma.

That's so sad.

She was only seventeen.

Who's June?

It's time we headed back.

(LATCH CLANKS)

Hey, buddy.

(BUCKET CLATTERS, PHOENIX GRUNTS)

You wanna drink some?

Come on, Phoenix.

Come on, baby.

(GRUNTS)

Come on!

(GRUNTING)

Phoenix You gotta get better.

Morning.

Oh man this is really weird.

It is, isn't it?

BOTH: (CHUCKLE)

We'll make it through this.

I know.

- (KNOCKING)

- Amy!

Ty!

Yup?

Hey, I think Phoenix is getting better!

Can you come see?

- Yeah, yeah.

- Okay.

- Okay.

- (SIGHS)

You were right.

The worst is over.

Well, that is real good news.

Looks like Sarge is on the mend too.

Good.

That's real good.

Now, if y'all have a minute, there's something else I want you to see.

Good boy, Phoenix.

Hey, Georgie I was thinking that maybe um well, if it's okay with your mom, that maybe you should move upstairs into the loft, permanently.

You know?

You could use the privacy.

And we all know that's something you can't get inside that house.

Really?

You don't mind?

No.

Well thanks.

Tim.

Lee.

Thought I'd let you know that I'm gonna be living on site.

On site?

Yeah.

In my RV.

- Really.

- So I'll be around just to watch everything you do for the foreseeable future.

- Just thought I'd tell you that.

- Great.

Show 'em your stuff.

(GIGGLES)
