08x12 - Broken Heartland

[bunniefuu]

Ty: Previously on "Heartland"...

Lou: If Peter could get a job in Calgary, our biggest problem would be solved.

And Tanner Gunn is the perfect guy to make that happen.

So when is this meeting supposed to be?

Amy: Tomorrow.

Lou: Oh, Amy!

Lou: And?

No formal offer or anything though.

Just more of a let's-keep- in-touch kind of thing.

Amy: Tanner told me that he made Peter a great offer and that Peter just said no.

If what you're saying is true, then Peter didn't just avoid telling me about the offer and the meeting, he totally lied to me.

Our entire marriage is based on nothing but dishonesty and deceit. (Crying)

(Van rumbles)

(Truck rumbles)

Ty: Sorry about taking time off last minute, Cass.

Cass: Have fun on your trip and stop worrying about the clinic.

I'm perfectly capable of running things without you.

Ty: Hey, uh, don't forget about Georgie.

She's coming into the clinic to volunteer today.

Cass: Right. So, on top of doing your work, I'm babysitting too.

Ty: I owe you one, Cass.

Cass: Yeah, you do.

Which is why you're taking all of my night shifts next week.

Ty: Wait, what?

Cass: I said you're taking all of my night shifts next week.

Ty: Uh, uh, Cass... you're breaking up. I can barely hear you.

Cass: Ty?

Ty: Sorry, w-what?

Cass: Ty! (Line goes dead)

(Laughing)

Peter: Okay, more for me then, missy.

Katie: Can I have some?

Peter: Mmm... now you want some? I thought you didn't like it?

Katie: But I do!

Peter: You hear that, Lou? She likes kiwi now.

(Chopping)

Lou? We need more kiwi.

Hmm?

Peter: Here, honey.

Hey, what's up? Everything okay?

Lou: Yeah, I'm... feeling tired today, that's all.

Oh, Amy, the "save the dates" for the wedding need to go out this week.

Amy: (Sighs) This week. Got it.

Lou: And have you and Ty finished finalizing the guest list yet?

Amy: Mmm... (Sighs)

Lou: No. Okay, Amy, it's really important.

I know you guys are going to Montana for the horse clinic or whatever, but it'll only take a minute.

Amy: Yes.

Lou: And, when you get back, we should really start talking about venues.

Amy: Okay.

Lou: Okay?

Amy: Okay!

Lou: Good morning!

Georgie: Morning!

Can I get a ride into town today.

Peter: Why? What's up?

Georgie: Well, I'm volunteering at the vet clinic.

You know, for extra credit in science class.

Peter: Oh. Yeah, sure, I can take you in.

Lou: Uh, it's all right. You stay here with Katie and help her get ready for ballet class.

Come on, kiddo. Let's go.

Georgie: All right.

Peter: See ya!

(Screen door opens and closes)

Ballet? All right! (Hands clap)

(Car rumbles to a halt)

(Door opens and closes)

Jade: Check out my new ride? Pretty sweet, huh?

The best part about my parents getting the "big d" is the sudden outpouring of generosity.

Nothing like a guilty conscience to get the parents to loosen the purse strings a little.

My mom called you a week ago? She's at a medical conference.

You said I could stay here for the day.

Lou: Mm. Yeah.

Jade: You forgot, didn't you?

Lou: No, no, no. I did not forget. I just...

It's been a busy morning.

I'm gonna drop Georgie at the vet clinic and I will get you settled in, okay?

Wait. What's going down at the vet clinic?

Is it time for your annual check up?

Georgie: No. I'm just volunteering.

What, like feeding cute animals and stuff?

Georgie: Yeah, I guess.

I want in.

You wanna volunteer?

Well, it beats mucking out stalls here at the ranch.

Okay. Hop in.

Well, I can drive.

Lou: Uh, no. No. That's not a good idea.

No, Georgie, come...

Georgie: Come on, Lou. I mean you said you had a busy day.

If Jade takes me, you won't have to worry.

Jade: I promise to obey all traffic laws and shoulder check before changing lanes.

Georgie: See? Now that she actually has her license, she's a lot more responsible.

Lou: Okay. But no speeding and no texting, and go straight there!

Jade: don't worry, Lou. Your daughter is in safe hands.

Catch you on the flip side.

(Doors bang shut)

Buckle up. (Engine starts)

(Car rumbles away)

Amy, I thought we were supposed to be keeping this small?

Amy: Yes, I know. 'Kay, well, let's just go through and pull some names out.

Okay, um...

How about Lily Borden and Wade Dalton?

Your parents? (Laughs) What do you mean?

Of course we're inviting them.

Ty: Are you sure about that? Every time I see my mom, it seems like disaster strikes.

Why should we tempt fate?

Amy: You can't be serious.

Come on, Lily would be devastated if we didn't invite her.

Why do we have to invite anybody at all?

Amy...

We should just get married in mustang meadows, just the two of us, under a poplar tree.

If we did that, Lou would bury us under that same tree.

Ty, let's just start from the top and work our way down.

Or... we could pack up the trailer and hit the road.

Come on, Amy. We deserve this trip.

This guest list can wait.

Amy: 'Kay.

Ty: 'Kay?

(Amy and Ty giggle excitedly)

(Approaching footsteps)

Peter: Do you know where Katie's, uh, ballet costume is?

Lou. Hey, you okay? What's going on?

Lou: Actually, I'm not. Um...

"It was a let's-keep-in-touch kind of thing"?

Peter: What?

Lou: Your interview with Tanner Gunn, you said "it was a let's-keep in-touch kind of thing."

But it wasn't, was it?

He offered you a job, didn't he?

A good one, in Calgary, where your family lives, and you turned it down.

But what's worse is you lied to me about it and I wanna know why.

(Screen door opens and closes)

Jack: Look who I found.

Lisa: Hey, Lou! Hey, Peter, how are you?

Peter: Hey!

Lisa: Good to see you.

Peter: Yeah. Long time no see.

Lisa: Yeah, how are you?

Peter: Good, good.

(Lisa chuckles)

(dogs bark and cats meow)

Cass: Ty, it's Cass.

You didn't tell me I'd be babysitting two children today.

Do I look like Mary Poppins?

You are now officially taking all of my night shifts for a month.

Enjoy your trip. (Phone beeps off)

He's so cute.

He also has worms. A real nasty case.

Georgie: Ew! Should we give him some medicine?

Cass: Nope. Already done.

Just need you to hold him still while I give him his yearly booster injection.

Georgie: Okay...

What's wrong with the snake? Is she sick?

What makes you think it's a she?

Jade: A female ball python's tail is shorter and thinner than a male's.

I did a project on pythons back in junior high.

Well, her name's Cordelia and she hasn't eaten in a few weeks, so we're keeping her here to see what's going on.

Jade: Can I hold her?

Cass: No.

I don't wanna cause her anymore stress until we find out why she's not eating.

You can put him back in his cage now.

Georgie: Okay. (Cat meows)

Cass: Okay, next, I want you two to take Monty here for a walk.

(Monty pants)

Georgie: He's adorable.

Cass: He's a handful.

Georgie: (Laughs) Here, Monty, come here.

Cass: And when Monty does his business, I need you to collect a urine sample.

Jade: Seriously?

Cass: Seriously.

Welcome to the glamorous world of veterinary medicine.

Oh! And while you're out, can you pick me up a coffee?

One coffee, one urine sample - no problem.

I'll try not to get the two of them mixed up.

(Truck rumbles)

(Crows caw, woman sighs heavily)

Why are you driving so slow?

(Chuckles)

My future father-in-law lent me his truck.

There's no way I'm returning it with even a scratch on it.

I'd never hear the end of it, Amy.

(Amy laughs, phone rings)

Oh... Lou.

You know, she's probably freaking out about wedding guest lists. (Sighs)

You're not gonna answer it?

We only have until tomorrow together.

Lou's just gonna have to wait.

(Ty and Amy laugh, phone continues ringing)

Peter: Hey. So, uh, first of all, I didn't lie.

We did say we'd stay in touch at the end of that meeting.

You just left out the part where he made you a damn good offer.

Okay, you know, it's funny because... There was only two people in that meeting, so I don't know how could know all that information, but-

Oh, that's right, you sent your sister to spy for you.

She was hardly spying.

Manipulating, spying, - whatever, Lou.

She was putting her nose where it didn't belong.

You know what? This is not Amy's fault.

I was the one who asked her to work for Tanner Gunn in the first place.

Oh, I'm well aware that you were the one pulling the puppet strings there, Lou.

Something that you didn't tell me until after the interview, by the way.

So I guess we both lied by omission, right?

Okay, I admit it.

We haven't exactly been honest with each other lately.

And maybe I shouldn't have set up the interview behind your back, but that doesn't change the fact that you turned down a job offer in Calgary.

I looked for a job in Calgary, Lou.

I looked and looked after we got back from Dubai, but no company would touch me, not after a failure like that.

That was ages ago. People have short memories.

I've spent years building up my career in Vancouver, Lou.

I'm not about to just throw it all away because Tanner Gunn says I'm back in the club.

He said that was the best offer you'd get in this town.

Oh, okay. Yeah, look, it was... It was a good offer.

But I like the job I have and I cannot stand Tanner.

He's a world class jerk. I don't wanna work for him.

I just wish you would at least talk to me before you made up your mind about something so important.

Oh, right. Like the way you always... talk to me before you make up your mind about things.

Lou: don't do that. don't even...

Peter: Don't mention, uh, the house that you bought without talking to me first?

Or the specialist you sent Katie to just because some overrated private school says that she needed it...

A school I didn't even think she needed to go to in the first place.

Lou: That is not fair, okay?

I thought I was doing what was best for Katie.

Peter: Oh, and what about what was best for Georgie and how you thought that she should contact her aunt.

Peter: You remember her aunt, right? The one that called child services on us...

Lou: Stop it!

And said that we were abusing our children?

Remember that?

Lou: Just stop it!

Katie: (Humming happily) Peter: (Gasps) Gosh, look at you!

Katie: Ta-da!

Peter: You look awesome!

Lisa: She is all ready for dance class.

Peter: Thanks.

Lisa: Yeah.

Peter: I'll take her.

Lou: Have fun!

Lisa: Everything okay?

Lou: Yeah, yeah...

(Door closes)

Jade: Is this dog ever gonna pee?

Georgie: (Amused sigh)

Georgie: Can you hold him for a sec?

(Monty barks)

Jade: Okay. Hey, where are you going?

Georgie: Yeah, um...

(People chatter)

(Birds chirp, people chatter)

Jade: What just happened?

Georgie: Nothing!

Okay, come on, Monty, let's go.

Jade: Uh-uh. You're not getting out of explaining this one.

You just saw that boy and then you bolted.

Details. Now.

Georgie: Okay, well, there's a Sadie Hawkins dance at my school... you know, girls are supposed to ask the boys.

Sounds kind of dumb, but... I guess it could be good for a laugh. Go on.

Okay, well, I'm worried Stephen thinks I'm gonna ask him to go with me.

Jade: Are you?

Georgie: No.

Well then what's the problem?

Unless... You wanna ask him, but you're just too chicken to do it.

No! We're just friends, okay? That's all.

Why can't a girl and a guy be friends without it getting all weird?

(Truck rumbles)

Amy: Oh, Ty, pull over. Just... just right up here, pull over.

(Truck rumbles to a halt)

(Engine shuts off) Ty: Why are we stopping?

Amy: There's a riding trail not too far off this road.

I used to come here all the time with my mom.

(Truck doors close)

It is such a beautiful spot, Ty.

I was just thinking... Since we don't have to be at the horse clinic until tomorrow, there's no rush to get there.

Let's go on a trail ride.

Ty: Sounds good.

(Footsteps crunch)

Jade: Here's your caffeine fix.

Cass: Thank you.

And did you get the urine sample?

Jade: It was a no go. Either the pipes are broken or Monty's dehydrated.

That's okay. You can try again in the afternoon.

I have to head out on a vet call, but while I'm gone, I want you to clean out all the kennels.

We'll get right on it, Dr. Lee.

Cass: Well, I'm not a Dr. yet, but I did like the sound of that.

You know what? You can call me Dr. Lee just for today.

Whatever you say, Dr. Lee.

Georgie: (Sighs) All right, well, let's get started.

Jade: Cheer up, kid. It's not that bad.

Georgie: Cleaning kennels and taking urine samples isn't exactly what I imagined when I volunteered.

Jade: Well, look on the bright side.

Cass forgot to ask for the change back from her twenty, so it's practically a bonus.

And now that she's gone...

Georgie: Hey, should you be doing that?

Cass said we shouldn't touch her.

Jade: I just wanna hold her for a second.

Wanna give it a try?

Georgie: No!

No thanks.

Jade: You're not afraid of a harmless ball python, are you?

Georgie: No. It's just... she said we should leave her alone.

Jade: Looks like fearless Georgie isn't as fearless as we thought, hey, Cordelia?

(Birds chirp, hooves clop)

Ty: You were right, Amy. This place is incredible.

Amy: Ty, you weren't really serious about not inviting your mom, were you?

Ty: Well, I didn't mean it to sound cold, Amy.

It... it's just that uh...

Amy: What?

Ty: It's just the last few times I talked to my mom on the phone, she uh... she sounded drunk.

I think she's fallen off the wagon again.

Amy: Are you sure?

Yeah. I know my mom.

I... used to live with her when she was drinking and high on pills and I can hear it in her voice.

I don't really want her at our wedding when she's like that, but I know it would k*ll her not to be there, so...

I'm not really sure what to do right now.

Well, whatever you decide, I'll stand by you.

Thanks, Amy. Thank you.

But you know what? I don't really want... to talk about our wedding or my mom.

I just want today to be... to be about you and me.

Amy: (Chuckles) Okay.

I have something I wanna show you.

(Birds chirp, hooves clop)

(Amy laughs and her breath catches)

Ty: Wow...

Amy: I know.

We should just stay out here.

Pitch a tent in the woods, camp out till the wedding's over. What do you think?

Amy: What about food?

We could live off the land.

What about bears?

I got bear spray. (Laughs)

(Laughs) Well, what about Lou?

Like I said, I got bear spray.

Amy: (Laughing) Ty...

Ty: (Laughing)

(Crows caw, footsteps crunch)

(Birds chirp)

(Door clicks open)

(Keys jingle)

(Door bangs shut, trucks starts)

(Gearshift clunks, truck rumbles away)

Amy: Ty, where's the truck?

This... this is where we parked it, right?

Ty: This is definitely where we parked it.

Someone stole my dad's truck?!

(Frustrated sigh) Do you have your cell phone?

No, it's in the truck.

Mine too.

Amy: Okay, um... I say we ride to the nearest town and we'll call for help.

(Laughs incredulously)

What is funny?

Ty: (Laughing) From now on... at Christmas, at birthdays, at family gatherings... your dad is gonna tell the story of how his idiot son-in-law lost his truck.

I'm never gonna live this down.

(Laughing)

(Cage door clunks open, spray squirts)

So what's going on with you and that boy, Stephen?

Georgie: Nothing's going on.

Well, you like him.

Georgie: No, I told you. We're just friends.

Jade: If you are friends, you should just go with him.

It's just a Sadie Hawkins Dance... it's not like... you're proposing marriage.

Oh my God, Jade!

Jade: Look, I know it's none of my business, but I do have some experience with this type of thing...

No! Look!

Oh no...

(Trowel scrapes through dirt)

(Rooster crows in the distance)

Peter: Lou...

Lou: (Exhales shakily)

Can you stop weeding for a second?

I'm not weeding.

Katie was playing out here yesterday and she buried her plastic cupcake, and I'm trying to find it.

Well, I'll give you a hand.

(Trowel scrapes in the dirt)

(Sighs) She wanted to plant a cupcake tree.

I didn't have the heart to tell her it's too cold up here for cupcake trees to grow.

(Chuckles)

Listen, um...

I was really angry and I said some things that...

We both said some things.

I'm leaving for Vancouver tonight and I don't want our last time to be spent arguing.

Neither do I.

(Trowel scrapes, Peter groans softly)

Both: (Chuckling)

Peter: Is this what you're looking for?

(Chuckles) That's the one.

Amy: Ty...

(Traffic rumbles)

Ty: Are you kidding me? Tire's flat.

Whoever jacked the truck must have taken off.

(Hooves clop on pavement)

Amy: Our cell phones are still here.

Well, I guess we lucked out.

(Foliage snapping, running footsteps)

Ty: Hold it right there!

Hup! Yah! (Hooves thunder)

Hey, stop! (Hooves thunder)

(Hooves thunder)

Woman: Look, I'm really sorry.

I've never done anything like this before.

And I tried hitchhiking, but nobody would pick me up.

And then I saw your truck...

I'm not a criminal, I swear.

Please don't call the cops.

Jade: Okay, pythons usually look for dark, soft places to hide... like underneath couch cushions.

(Items thump and clatter, Georgie screams)

(Laughs)

Man, the only thing that scares you more than snakes is having to ask a boy to a dance.

Okay, well, maybe that sort of thing comes easily to you, but not me.

Wanna know what I think?

Not really.

Jade: I think the only reason you're scared to ask Stephen is because you're afraid he'll say no.

Georgie: Oh my God, there she is!

Jade: Where?

Georgie: Right there!

Jade: Where?

Georgie: She went behind the fridge.

Jade: Oh, crafty girl. She's toying with us.

All right, Cordelia, have it your way.

Hide and seek. Ready or not, here we come.

(Peeler blade jingles)

Thank you again for taking Katie for ice cream.

She was thrilled.

Lisa: Aw...

Jack and I are happy to do it.

Hey, Lou? don't mean to pry, but you're okay, yeah?

Yeah, yeah, why wouldn't I be?

I just heard you and Peter having a bit of disagreement earlier and just... not wanting to pry, just...

It's okay. We did have an argument, but everything is good now.

Good. Glad to hear it.

Lou: Hey, Katie, that's a really pretty picture.

Katie: That's mommy, that's Georgie, and this is me and the house we live in.

Lou: Wow! But where's daddy?

Katie: He's up there in the airplane where he lives.

Lou: Can I see? (Paper rustles)

(Sighs heavily)

(Truck roars by)

So what're we gonna do with her?

What do you mean?

Well, we can't just leave her at the side of the road.

(Laughs) That's exactly what we're gonna do.

Amy, she's lucky we didn't call the cops.

Besides, this is our one weekend together and I'm not gonna let that girl ruin it for us.

Ty, she's just a kid, okay?

We can at least drop her off at the nearest town.

(Sighs)

Hi, I'm Amy.

Brook: Brook.

Amy: That's my fiance, Ty.

So where are you headed?

Brook: (Sighs) Not sure yet.

I guess I'll figure it out when I get there.

Amy: Priddis is not that from here.

We can drop you off if you like.

Brook: Well, I was hoping to go a little further.

Where are you guys headed?

Amy: We're going across the border to Montana.

Brook: That's perfect. Can I get a ride with you?

I won't be any trouble, I promise.

You can even put me in the trailer with the horses.

You wouldn't even know I was there.

Please, I'm begging you.

(Approaching footsteps)

Lou: (Sighs) Your daughter thinks you live on an airplane.

(Drawing flutters)

Peter: What?

Lou: You know, kids have a funny way of getting at the truth sometimes.

But you don't live on an airplane, Peter, you live in Vancouver.

And I thought it was because you had the great job there, but... that's not the real reason, is it?

I thought we were gonna let this go until I came back?

Lou: I wanna talk about it now.

Peter: Okay.

Well, you know why I didn't take the job in Calgary, Lou.

Yeah, I thought it was just about a job, but... but maybe it's not. I mean, maybe...

There's something else. There's something keeping you in Vancouver, away from me and away from your family.

Something or... maybe someone?

Oh... how could you even suggest that?

Then what is it? Help me understand.

(Knock at the door, door creaks open)

Jack: Uh... Lisa just put lunch on the table.

Oh, great. We'll be there in a second.

Jack: All right. (Door creaks closed)

Peter: (Laughs) That's awesome.

We don't even have enough privacy to argue.

Amy: Doesn't it scare you?

Brook: What?

Amy: Not knowing where you're going?

(Laughs) Are you kidding? I've never been happier.

I do what I want. I go where I want.

No rules, just endless possibilities.

What about your home?

Don't have one. Not really.

My mom pretty much kicked me out of the house a few months ago.

I lived with a boyfriend for awhile, but, of course, he turned out to be a total jerk, just like my mom said.

Now I'm free as a bird.

Amy: (Chuckles politely)

Ty: Hey.

Amy: Hey.

It's gonna take about an hour to patch the tire, so we might as well get something to eat while we wait.

Lunch is on me. It's the least I could do since I stole your truck and all.

But first, I need to make some money.

Ty: What?

(People chatter nearby)

I was thinking of a roast beef for dinner. Everybody all right with that?

Jack: Mm! That sounds good to me.

Lou: You can count on some leftovers though because Peter is headed back to Vancouver, as usual.

Aren't you, Peter?

Probably just grab some dinner at the airport, right, honey?

Lisa: That's fine.

Leftovers are no problem. We'll have them for lunch tomorrow.

Good sandwiches.

Jack: Mm-hmm.

Lou: There's watermelon in the fridge for dessert.

Does anyone want some?

(Chair scrapes back)

Peter: I'm just gonna give her a hand. We'll just be one sec.

(Plate thuds on table)

Do you mind telling me what you're doing? Wh-wh-what's going on?

Do you wanna keep your voice down?

Peter: What?

I'm just making sure everyone is aware of your very complicated schedule.

Did I say something that wasn't true?

You are headed back to Vancouver now.

Yeah, Lou. I'm headed back to my pied-a-terre in Vancouver where I throw wild parties and have illicit affairs every night, yeah.

Oh, you said it, not me.

I ask for one thing... to keep my job in Vancouver, Lou, and you accuse me of having an affair?

Lou: I did not accuse you.

Peter: Oh, it's implied!

Please, don't-don't even!

Jack: So we're not very hungry on account of the ice cream, I guess, so...

Katie wants to see her pony. We'll take her out.

Lou: That sounds like fun.

Lisa: Yeah, we'll be back in a bit.

Thanks.

(Door closes, Peter sighs)

Lou: I did not mean to accuse you of having an affair.

Peter, all I want is for you to put your family before whatever it is in Vancouver that is so important!

Peter: "Whatever it is"? My job, Lou?

Is that what you're talking about?

What about you? We could move to Vancouver.

Remember that? Why am I the only one who has to give up everything?

I have given up just as much in this relationship and you know it!

I moved my entire life to Dubai when we got married.

Peter: Right. There it is, and you'll never let me forget it, will you?

Lou: What?!

That's what this is all about, right?

Lou: No!

Peter: I screwed up over there and you will never let it go.

Lou: No!

That's why you won't move to Vancouver, that's why you're stuck here clinging to your life at Heartland... because you're terrified that Peter's gonna screw everything up again!

Lou: That is not true!

Peter: It is true!

(Angry exhale)

Yes it is.

I moved on with my life after Dubai. I ca-I can't...

You're stuck living in the past and I... I can't take it. I don't...

Peter...

(Exhales slowly) We can't go on like this.

Lou: No. No, we can't.

I think that's the first thing we've agreed on all day.

Crowd: (Clapping)

Brook: Thanks. Thank you. Thank you very much.

Ty: Not half bad - for a truck thief.

Amy: (Chuckles)

Georgie: You're right.

Jade: Of course I'm right.

Wait, what're you talking about?

Georgie: (Sighs) The dance.

I do wanna ask Stephen to go with me, but...

What if he says no? It would be so awkward.

Jade: I'm gonna tell you something, and if you ever repeat it, I swear I will totally deny ever saying it.

But, Georgie, you are smart, and brave... except when it comes to snakes... and kind of beautiful in a diamond in the rough kind of way, and there is no way that that skinny, awkward, pre-pubescent boy is ever gonna say no to you.

And if he does, he's not worth the price of those cheap sneakers he wears.

(Gasps) Cordelia, there you are!

I have been looking everywhere for you.

Oh, look, she even has a little bump in her belly.

She must've found something to eat.

Do you know what this means? I cured her.

I totally deserve an honorary vet degree.

I'd be Dr. Jade - super model slash vet.

They'd be all like, "Dr. Jade why were you late for your swimsuit sh**t?"

And I'd be all like, "I was saving a tiny koala bear."

Georgie: Jade, you know that tiny chihuahua Cass was giving the sh*t to?

Jade: Yeah.

Georgie: He's gone.

Jade: What do you mean, gone?

Georgie: Well, his kennel is open and he's not there.

No... you don't think...?

Jade: Well, actually, ball pythons can eat almost anything up to double their thickness.

Don't say that.

And they can dislocate their jaw.

Georgie: (Worried sigh)

We are in so much trouble...

Jade: Bad Cordelia!

(Change clinks)

Brook: Thanks, guys. I've... I've got one more song.

It's not well known, but it's one of my favourites.

(Crowd claps and cheers) All right! Yeah!

Amy: Wow.

Brook: I thought I was the only one who knew that song.

Amy: My grandmother used to sing that song to me all the time when I was a kid.

Get out! Your grandma was a fan of Lyndy Bartlett?

No. My grandma was Lyndy Bartlett.

(Amy chuckles, brook gasps)

Lou: I need to explain something to you.

When we lost everything in Dubai and we had to rebuild our lives and everything was so bleak, and I was pregnant with Katie, I did what I had to do, Peter, and moving back here was the right thing to do.

And then Georgie came into our lives...

And she's so attached to this place.

You know that.

You might think I'm stuck in the past, but I've only ever done what is best for this family's future.

Peter: (Sighs) This living here, this was all supposed to be temporary, remember?

And... somewhere along the line, we started living separate lives and... we stopped making decisions together.

(Sighs heavily)

I think what we have to ask ourselves is...

I mean, aside from Georgie and Katie, what do we...

What's keeping us together?

(Sighs heavily)

I cannot believe I am eating lunch with Lyndy Bartlett's granddaughter.

How wicked is that?

I'm just surprised someone your age even knows who she is.

Brook: Well, I found her album at a used record store.

Her lyrics are insane, and her voice...

It was like a cross between Kitty Wells and Tammy Wynette.

I always imagined her traveling the country, singing in dive bars, really living life.

Amy: I'm sure she did that for awhile.

But then she met my grandpa and her life changed.

They settled down, had a kid, my mom.

And she never stopped singing, just not on a stage anymore.

You know, we should go on the road together. We'd make a k*ller duo.

(Laughs) Thanks for the offer, but I just got back from tour...

Not singing - training horses in Europe.

I thought that's what I wanted, but I guess I'm a bit like my grandma 'cause I realized everything I want is right here.

(Birds chirp)

Jade: And... that's when we noticed the chihuahua wasn't in his cage.

Georgie: Look, we're really sorry.

We didn't mean for any of this to happen.

Jade: On the bright side, Cordelia's hunger strike is over.

Are you two finished?

Jade: Yeah, that's pretty much it.

Cass: You'll be relieved to know Mrs. Blatchford stopped by to pick up her dog while you two were out getting coffee.

(Jade sighs with relief)

Georgie: Well, what about the bump in her belly?

She obviously ate the food I put in her enclosure before she escaped.

Jade: Well, that's great news.

I mean, no harm no foul, right?

I guess Georgie and I'll be on our way now. Thanks for everything, Dr. Lee.

Mm. Not so fast. I think I was very clear when I told you not to touch Cordelia.

But since she appears to be fine, I'm gonna let it go.

I will however need my change back from the twenty I gave you for coffee.

(Clothing and cash rustles)

And I still need that urine sample from Monty.

This time don't come back empty handed.

Georgie: (Sighs)

(Kennel door opens)

Peter: Give me a kiss. Mm... Muah!

Here.

Lou: Here.

(Lou and Peter groan)

Okay, uh...

So tell Georgie that I'll call her from the airport, okay?

Please? Thanks. Um...

Give her a hug for me.

I will.

And uh... we'll talk when I get back.

Lou: Okay.

Peter: Okay.

Bye, guys.

Lou: Bye, daddy.

(Door opens, taxi engine starts)

(Door bangs shut)

I think it's time for your nap.

Why don't you go pick out a storybook, 'kay?

(Sniffs)

(Running footsteps, screen door opens)

Jack: You okay, Lou?

Lou: I don't know... (Door snaps shut)

Lisa: We have to do something.

I know what you're gonna say that we shouldn't metal, but I just-I can't stand to see her like that.

Jack: Neither can I.

Do you have your phone on you?

Lisa: Who are you going to call?

Jack: Reinforcements.

Ty: How long you been running for?

What makes you think I'm a runaway?

Well, it takes one to know one.

When I was your age, I was all over the map.

Anytime things got tough, I'd run the other way.

Well, I'm not running away from anything.

I'm running towards something.

Oh. Okay. And what's that? Fame and fortune?

Yeah, why not?

I deserve it just as much as anybody.

Ty: Hmm.

What about... What about your parents?

Do they must miss you.

It was just me and my mom. We never really got along.

We haven't spoken in months.

Ty: Well, you know, I didn't speak to my mom for years.

She uh...

Well, she can be a bit of a train wreck sometimes.

Earlier today, I was actually thinking about not inviting her to my wedding.

Well, if she's anything like my mom, I don't blame you.

Ty: You know, it's funny, I...

Here I am not wanting to invite my mom, and Amy, on the other hand, she'd do anything to have her mom there.

But that's never gonna happen.

Why not?

Her mom's dead.

Oh... Oh, that's so sad.

Ty: Yeah, but... at least she had a good relationship with her before she passed away.

You and me, we got some stuff to work out when it comes to our moms.

But I guess we're lucky 'cause it's not too late for that.

It is for me.

Ty: Are you sure about that?

Amy: I just got off the phone with grandpa. We've gotta go back home.

Ty: Why? What's going on?

Amy: I'll... explain on the way.

Brook, I am really sorry we're not gonna be able to take you to Montana.

Ty: Uh, brook, maybe we can, um, drop you off at your mom's place.

No... no, I'll uh... I'll find my own way south.

Amy: You sure?

Brook: Yeah.

Thanks for everything.

And sorry I stole your truck.

Ty: It's okay.

Amy: Just be safe.

Ty: See you, Brook.

Here, I got it. (Door clicks open)

(Door bangs shut)

Brook: Wait!

Come on Monty. Give us a break.

You've been drinking water all day.

Just pee already!

Stephen: Hey, Georgie. (Monty barks)

Georgie: (Brightly) Oh, hi!

Steven: I got your message. What do you wanna talk to me about?

Jade: I'll give you two a minute. Come on. Come on, Monty!

You know the Sadie Hawkins Dance?

Stephen: Yeah.

Well, are-are you going?

I don't know. Maybe. Are you?

Georgie: Yeah. I think so. I mean it's kinda dumb, but it could be a good laugh.

So I was wondering um... If you wanted to go with me?

Like only if you want...

Stephen: Yes!

I mean... yeah, that'd be totally cool.

Georgie: Okay. (Giggles)

Jade: Georgie! I got the urine sample!

Georgie: (Laughs) I don't even know who that is.

Stephen: I gotta go.

Jade: Good boy. Good boy.

Georgie: Seriously?

Jade: Well...

(Truck rumbles to a halt)

Brook: (Sighs nervously) Okay.

(Truck idles loudly)

(Door bangs shut)

Congrats by the way on getting married and all.

If you need somebody to sing at your wedding, keep me in mind.

Amy: We'll do.

Ty: Good luck, Brook.

(Truck idles loudly, brook sighs nervously)

(Door opens)

Brook's mom: (Sobbing) Welcome home.

(Crickets chirp)

Lou: You were really looking forward to that horse clinic.

There'll be lots of other clinics, Lou.

I only have one sister.

(Crying) Thank you.

Ugh, it's that...

Peter and I have had terrible fights, but never anything like this.

I just wanna talk to him about it. He says we'll talk when he gets back, but I don't think I can wait that long.

Should I call him?

I think this is the type of conversation that you should have in person.

Yeah, but what am I supposed to do? Hop on the next flight to Vancouver?

I need to go to Vancouver.

(Emotional sigh)

(Truck rumbles)

(Door bangs shut)

(Mailbox door squeals open)

Ty: (Sighs heavily)

(Door squeals shut)

Lou: It's just a few days, okay?

Georgie: Okay.

And I'll be back before you know it.

Georgie: All right, have fun.

Lou: And you... you be a good girl for grandpa, okay, and have fun.

Amy: Hey, Lou, we gotta leave now, or you're gonna miss your plane.

Lou: Okay. Bye, honey.

Jack: You go ahead, Lou.

There's nothing to worry about, is there, Katie? (Quick kiss)

Lisa: Everything's under control. Have a good trip.

Lou: Thank you.

Lisa: Yeah.
