11x02 - Highs and Lows

[bunniefuu]

Amy: Previously on "Heartland:" I've got a horse I want you to look at.

- (Loud whinny)

- Whoa!

Val: His name's Flame.

(Flame snorts)

- I'm impressed.

- Thanks.

I'd like you to keep training with him, and who knows?

Maybe you'll be the one to ride him in the Okotoks show.

Mitch: Nice seein' ya, I'll see you around.

Ty: Okay, all right, see 'ya.

Could you believe that?!

Acting like that, after what he put Lou through.

(Val chuckles)

What do you say, are you in?

I'm in.

(Sighs)

(Ducks quack)

(Spartan nickers)

(Remi barks)

(Hooves thud, horses whinny)

Amy: Hup!

Hup!

Chh!

Chh!

Chh!

Chh!

Chh!

(Whistles)

Come on, come on!

(Whistles)

(Hooves thud)

(Horse whinnies, Amy whistles)

(Whistles)

Come on, Remi!

(Gate clangs)

I am so sorry I'm late!

Hi, sweetheart!

- It's okay.

- Oh!

It's not okay.

It's your first day back at work.

Well, if I leave right now, I'll be fine.

Although I'd much rather stay here with you two.

How am I gonna get through a whole day without seeing this pretty little face, huh?

Or this one.

- Call if you need anything, okay?

- Okay.

There's beet and blueberry puree in the fridge - for her lunch.

- Okay.

And if you run out, there's more in the freezer.

Got it.

But don't defrost it in the microwave - Ty - Okay.

Send me pictures if she does anything really cute.

- Or even mildly cute, or - You are I will!

(Laughs)

- I love you.

- I love you, too.

(Sighs)

No Lou, like I said, you're good to go.

The dude ranch is going to be all Yeah, okay, no worries.

Good, I love you, bye.

- Oh oh no.

- Yeah, let me guess, you haven't started cleaning up the dude ranch yet.

No, Lou's got three guests booked next week.

Yeah well, I guess you've got a busy day ahead of you.

What's with the flowers?

Delivered here for Lisa.

- From who?

- I don't know.

Well, it's not her birthday, it's not a special occasion.

You're not curious?

No.

- What're you doing?

- I'll put it back.

Oh!

French.

Signed by Fernand.

Fer-(imitates French accent)

"Fernand.

" Does that name mean anything to you?

No Gimme that!

Don't you have work to do at the dude ranch?!

Yeah.

Well then, I suggest you go do it.

(Door shuts)

Arghh!

(Car door shuts)

Agh.

(Sighs heavily)

(Sheets rustle)

(Squawking sound, Tim gasps)

(Squawks, sheet rustles)

(Squawking, chittering)

(Chittering)

(Screeches loudly)

(Door slams)

(Squawking)

(Wind rustles)

(Hooves thud)

(Horse snorts, pants)

- Hey, Georgie.

- Hey.

So where do you want to go today?

Change of plans, I don't really feel like going out for a ride today.

Oh, are-are you okay?

Yeah, yeah, I've just got a lot on my mind.

Is it Val Stanton?

I'd be a stress case too if I had to jump her horse.

- She's extremely intense.

- No, it's not Val.

Okay, so what's going on?

(Sighs heavily)

(Paper rustles)

My brother sent this to me a few days ago, I guess he's had it for a while.

He was waiting until I was old enough to read it.

That guy in the photo he's a drunk driver that k*lled my parents 14-years-ago.

His name's Charles Thackery.

Georgie I don't even know what to say.

I looked him up online yesterday, and I found some stuff.

- What?

- His address.

He lives just outside Hudson; I'm gonna go see him.

I don't think that's such a good idea.

No, I-I already made up my mind.

I'm gonna go see him later today.

I need to see him with my own eyes.

(Horse snorts)

S11E02 Highs and Lows And at the break of day you sank into the dream You dreamer Oh oh oh oh You dreamer You dreamer (Hooves clomp)

(Truck rumbles)

Lisa: Okay, so Mr.

Davidson's gonna come and pick up Midnight tomorrow, let's have him all cleaned up, - and the papers ready to go.

- Mhmm.

- Thank you.

- Jack: Morning!

- Wow!

- Delivery for Lisa Stillman.

Well, that's a lovely surprise, You didn't have to buy me flowers!

Well, I didn't, they're not from me.

Oh well, who are they from?

I don't know.

Let's see oh.

Oh, it's Fernand, he's a local from Toulon, We talked investments last time I was there, that's very sweet of him.

Very thoughtful of whatever you said his name was.

- Fernand.

- Yeah, him.

So that's all I came by for, so we'll see you at the ranch for dinner.

Oh, you know what?

I don't think I can come.

It's-it's-it's foaling season, and everything's so crazy here.

Well, shouldn't I be giving you a hand?

No, no, no, no, I mean look, we've got-no, it's fine, and I have to go.

I'm sorry.

(Sighs)

- Pete!

- Pete: Yes, Ms. Stillman?

(SUV rumbles)

Jade: I don't know this doesn't feel right.

You didn't have to come with me.

Yeah, like I was gonna let you do this alone?

(Sighs)

I just want to see him, that's all.

Okay well, you've gotta have something to say when he answers the door, and I don't think "hey, aren't you the guy who k*lled my parents" is gonna go over very well.

I'll just tell him I have the wrong house or something.

Okay Be right back.

(SUV door slams)

(Footsteps thud)

(Knocks)

(Door creaks open)

Hey there.

Can I do something for you?

Who is it, Charles?

I don't know.

Sorry, wrong-wrong house!

(Charles and his wife laugh)

What happened?

(Engine turns, tires screech)

Georgie!

(Engine revs)

Georgie, slow down!

(Splintering)

Georgie!

Charles: Hey!

(Revving, tires screech)

Jade: What are you doing?

Hey, stop!

(Revving)

(Birds chirp)

- Who's this guy?

- Cass: He's a stray.

Someone brought him in a few days ago.

I only thought I should play with him because you know, it's important for his adolescent development.

Right, that's a relief, 'cause for a second there I thought you were playing with him because he's absolutely adorable.

Hardly, I see a lot of so called adorable animals here, trust me, I am immune to melting into a puddle.

Come here.

You know, Cass, you could always adopt him.

I think you and Caleb would make great pet owners.

I don't know maybe one day.

Now is definitely not the right time.

I get it, puppies are a huge commitment.

It's like having a kid.

It's not something you wanna rush into.

Right.

Exactly.

(Puppy whines)

(Knocking)

Caleb: Hey Amy, you home?

Caleb, shh!

She's sleeping.

I'm sorry, I just came to drop something off.

Oh, you didn't have to do that.

Cass picked it out, I hope she likes it.

Oh, she's gonna love it, thank you.

You're welcome.

- Well, I should get going.

- Actually, um I really hate to ask, but I promised Georgie I would do a schooling session with her this morning, and my dad was gonna look after Lyndy, but then he got stuck at the dude ranch, and I was thinking Yeah, for sure.

It would just be for half an hour or so.

There's nothing I'd rather do than hang out with my favourite miniature cowgirl.

I just put her down for her nap so she shouldn't wake up, but if she does, just text me, I'll be right outside.

Okay, I got this.

Relax.

(Door opens)

(Tupperware thunks)

(Sniffs deeply)

(Lyndy cries)

Amy?

(Lyndy wails)

(Crying)

(Truck rumbles)

All right, I'm here, what's this big emergency?

There's a skunk in that cabin.

A skunk?

I just drove all the way from Calgary for a skunk?

You realize I don't work here anymore?

And you do realize that we paid you to winterize the dude ranch, and you cashed the cheque.

But if you had've done the job correctly, the skunk never would've gotten inside.

So I figured the least you'd wanna do - is come out here and help me.

- Jack could help you.

That's not why you called me, so tell me why I'm here.

Allow me to repeat myself, we paid you to do a job you didn't do.

Call a pest control company.

I'm not paying another guy $300 bucks to fix your mistakes!

Now let's do this.

I don't have all day.

Close that.

(Frustrated exhale)

(Slams)

(Flame snorts)

(Clatters)

(Frustrated sigh)

(Clatters)

(Flame snorts)

That was terrible.

Your head doesn't seem like it's in it today.

Is everything okay?

Yeah, of course.

The jumps are higher than you're used to, do you want me to lower them?

No, I've jumped these high oxers before.

Okay, so what's holding you back?

It's not me, it's Flame.

He just needs some time to adjust.

Well, nobody said this was gonna be easy, right?

I should go relieve Caleb anyway, why don't we try again tomorrow.

Thanks, Amy.

(Sighs heavily)

So what's your deal?

What do you wanna be when you grow up?

You know, I'm bettin' since Amy is your mom, probably not gonna be into the whole rodeo queen deal.

Yeah, not for you.

Championship barrel racer?

I could see that, the next Jade Virani.

Those are some big cowgirl boots to fill, but I'd put my money on you any day, kid.

(Laughs)

(Lyndy coos)

(Laughs)

(Thuds)

Mitch: Marshmallows?

- Have you done this before?

- What?

They love these.

If you don't have anything good to say, don't say anything at all.

Look, you know, I didn't have to come here today, right?

I'm well aware of that.

And your fancy new job in Calgary.

How's the corporate world treating you?

It's good it's really- it's really good.

It couldn't be better.

- Is it casual Friday?

- (Scoffs)

Lou's doing great, by the way.

Her Maggie's franchise is about to take off thanks to a new investor.

Yeah, I know, Peter.

No, not Peter, she turned Peter down.

Not that you'd care, based on your little disappearing act.

(Trap clatters)

I think we are all set here.

We'll just come back tomorrow, and see if it worked.

Oh, I'd love to come back tomorrow, but I think I already have plans.

Yeah, you do, you're trapping a skunk.

Dress appropriately.

(Sighs)

(Jeep rumbles)

(Sighs heavily)

(Door slams)

What're you doing here?

I was worried about you.

Jade, please don't make a big deal out of this.

I'm pretty sure tracking down the drunk driver who k*lled your biological parents is like, the definition of a big deal.

It's done, so why do we have to keep dwelling on it?

And Lou's truck is fine, there's not a scratch on it, so it's like it never even happened.

Georgie, this isn't the type of thing that you can just pretend didn't happen.

I think you should talk to somebody about it.

Your parents, or Jack.

No!

And you promised you wouldn't say anything.

- I know, I just - A promise is a promise.

(Sighs)

Georgie: You're not gonna k*ll the skunk, are you?

Strictly a relocation operation.

(Knocking)

Oh!

Right in the middle of dinner.

You better stock up on tomato juice.

Actually, that's an old wives' tale.

We get calls at the clinic all the time when pets get skunked.

We recommend just bathing them in diluted peroxide.

Good advice.

So, we all remember Constable Jones.

I'm sorry to interrupt your dinner folks, but uh, there's a bit of a situation.

Amy: What kind of situation?

There's been a complaint from a property owner just outside Hudson.

He says that an SUV caused some damage on his acreage.

Now, we ran the plates, and the vehicle's registered to Lou Fleming Morris.

I didn't mean to.

I accidentally took a wrong turn, and ended up at this guy's place.

I must've hit something on my way out.

- It was an accident.

- Why didn't you say anything?

I don't know, I wasn't thinking.

Jack: I'll say you weren't.

The guy who made the complaint said there were two girls in the SUV.

Both with brown hair.

I was there.

This has nothing to do with Jade, though.

Georgie It was my fault, I was driving.

I'm sorry.

I'll pay for the damages I've caused.

All right then, I'll uh I'll explain the situation to the property owner, and see what he says.

- We'll talk in the morning?

- Yeah.

Thanks, sorry about that.

I'll see you out.

(Sighs)

(Police car rumbles away)

Jack: Well, that wasn't too pleasant.

Are you sure you told him everything?

- Not everything.

- Jade, don't.

Georgie, is there something that you're not telling us?

The property owner his name's Charles Thackery.

Amy: How do you know him?

I-I don't know him.

Show them the article.

(Paper rustles)

Where'd you get this?

My brother sent it to me.

What's it say, Jack?

It appears Mr.

Thackery is the drunk driver that who k*lled Georgie's parents.

(Knocking)

Come in.

I'm gonna turn in for the night.

Jack, I I can't tell you how sorry I am.

It's okay.

I can't imagine what it was like for you to read that article.

I promise I'll never try and contact Charles ever again, I swear.

You just get some rest.

Your dad's flying in from Vancouver - first thing in the morning.

- You called him?

He's your dad, Georgie, of course I called him, he's worried about you, so is your mom.

They don't need to be.

It was a stupid mistake, I wanna forget it ever happened.

I understand why you might feel that way, but you can't put the genie back in the bottle now, you're gonna have to deal with this.

You all right?

Okay, good night.

(Door creaks shut)

(Sighs heavily)

You know, before she came to Heartland, Georgie was in the foster system.

That couldn't have been what her parents wanted.

Well, her parents probably didn't have a legal will.

Neither do we.

Yeah, but we got plenty of family, if anything ever happened to us, Lyndy would have lots of people to look after her.

I'm sure that's what her parents thought, too.

You're right.

We'll make an appointment with a lawyer soon.

- Like, tomorrow.

- (Laughs)

So then, who are we going to appoint as our legal guardians?

Uh, I don't know, maybe Jack and Lisa?

Grandpa's not exactly as young as he used to be.

Well, there's always Tim and Casey.

- Or your sister.

- Hmm Yeah, but she's kind of all over the map these days.

What about Caleb and Cassandra?

- Seriously?

- Yeah.

Caleb was over here today, he helped me look after Lyndy when I was out coaching Georgie.

He was really great with her Ty, it was pretty cute.

Well, there is a big difference between babysitting and raising a child.

(Half laughs)

Just today at work Cass was saying that they're not ready to adopt a puppy, so I'm thinking a kid's out of the question.

Yeah, I see your point.

We don't have to decide tonight, we can sleep on it, you know?

Okay.

(Lyndy cries)

(Amy laughs)

If only sleep were an option.

Hey, I've got it, I got it.

(Amy sighs)

(Drill whirs)

(Truck rumbles)

- Hello there.

- Howdy.

- You must be Charles Thackery?

- I am.

- My name's Jack Bartlett.

- Nice to meet you, Jack.

Well, it seems my great granddaughter - paid you a visit yesterday.

- Look I think I'd rather let the police deal with this.

And that's your right, I suppose, but I'm hoping you'll change your mind.

I don't think so.

Well, just let me explain.

Our family adopted Georgie about five years back.

Her birth parents are Matt and Mary Crawley.

I think you should go.

(Coughs)

No, I-I please.

(Truck door slams)

(Truck starts, rumbles away)

(Sighs heavily)

Peter: Knock, knock.

- Oh!

Dad!

- Hey So I talked to Constable Jones this morning.

Apparently Charles is gonna drop the complaint about the property damage.

Really?

Why?

I don't know, he didn't say.

That's good, I mean, I know you're probably still gonna ground me, but at least the police aren't involved anymore.

Whoa, hey, hey, hey!

I didn't come here to punish you, you realize that, right?

I came here to make sure you're okay, sweetheart.

I'm fine.

You didn't have to come all the way from Vancouver just to check on me.

I know that you didn't know your birth parents, but it must've come as quite a shock to read that article, right?

I'm late for my shift, so if I'm not grounded, then - No, you're not grounded.

- Okay.

- I'll give you a ride.

- I can drive myself.

Wait-oh right, I forgot.

Yeah, see 'ya.

(Birds chirp, horse whinnies)

- Gait looks pretty good.

- Yeah.

Thank you so much for lending a hand today, it's been so crazy around here, I need all the help I can get.

You know I'm more than happy to pitch in.

Besides, I wanted to give Peter and Georgie a little time on their own.

Oh yeah, how is Georgie?

Oh, I think she'll be okay, at least now that Peter's here.

- Sure.

- Man: Lisa!

Oh, sh**t!

sh**t!

- Who's that?

- Mr.

Davidson.

He's picking up a horse, but he's two hours early.

- Lisa: Hi!

- Mr.

Davidson: Hey.

(Cell phone rings)

Hah!

It worked!

I mean-I mean, of course it worked.

Yeah great.

It worked.

Now what are we gonna do?

If we get near the thing, it's just gonna spray us.

You just uh you cover the cage with a blanket.

(Skunk hisses, screeches)

Both: Ugh!

Oh!

Ewww!

Oh!

Ohhhh!

(Coughs)

Oh ho!

Oh, that is nasty.

Yeah well, it's on the blanket and not on us.

So stop being a baby, get in there and get the cage.

What?!

Ohhh!

Okay (coughs)

All right well, where are we gonna put this thing?

"We?" We're not going to put it anywhere.

You are gonna take it out to the wildlife reserve and you're gonna set it free.

Oh!

Wait!

Oh-(Skunk sprays)

(Coughs)

And you're not coming with me?!

I have plans, I've got a date with my youngest granddaughter.

Bring the cage back when you're done.

Tim-oh-(coughs, gags)

Oh!

Ti (Gags)

(Retches)

Hey, Jack.

- Peter!

- Hey.

Sorry, good to see you!

- Yeah, you too.

- How'd it go with Georgie?

Uh Yeah, not too good, honestly.

She told me I should've stayed in Vancouver.

I'm sure she'll come around.

Tim: General!

Nice of you to drop in, and help with your daughter's crisis.

Really not in the mood, Tim, honestly.

You stink.

- It's not that bad.

- It ain't good.

Honey, where's Lyndy?

I thought I was gonna take care of her while you coached Georgie.

She's just napping, and Georgie's not back yet, anyway.

You smell worse than a bag of dirty diapers!

I got a skunk out of a dude ranch cabin, and saved 300 bucks, okay?

Any luck finding anything out about Fernand?

Fernand?

(Sighs)

Fernand's a French guy.

He sent flowers to Lisa.

You're making it sound way worse than it is.

Hey, the flowers were just a thank you gift.

For what?

I don't know, it's none of my business.

And it's none of yours, either!

You know, Jack, you can look people up on the Internet these days, and find out all about them.

And Peter has a laptop, you should look up Fernand.

- No, no, I don't think so.

- Look up Fernand, just do it!

No.

No, he does no.

And you need more than just a first name to do a search.

You can't just search "Fernand.

" Jack: LeForte.

Fernand LeForte, with an "e.

" In Toulon, France, is that enough to go on?

Yeah, no yeah, sure, we can yeah, that's totally enough.

- LeForte.

- Yep, I got it, Tim.

- With an "e.

" - Thank you.

(Sighs, keys click)

(Computer beeps)

Oh, hmm, yep, there we go, uh it looks like Fernand here is a real estate agent.

Yeah, the world's best looking real estate agent.

What?

(Lyndy grunts)

I'll-I'll do that, I'll look after her.

Yeah, I'm gonna I'm joining you.

Wait (Sighs heavily)

(Knock on door)

I'd like to talk to Georgie.

Just hold on.

I'm not sure you should be here.

Look, I'm sorry about before.

But I just want a chance to make amends with Georgie, Or or at least try.

Okay, look.

That's how you get in touch with me.

I'm not making any promises.

Yep.

(Keys jingle)

I'm gonna make some more coffee, Jack, you want some?

You need to see this.

Where'd you get that?

From Charles, he was just at the door.

- What'd he want?

- To meet with Georgie.

He said he wants to make amends.

Ty: What's going on in here?

Hey!

Well, Cass was talking about this little guy so much, I decided to come see what all the fuss was about.

If it's not too late, we'd really like to adopt him.

Please tell me it's not too late.

It's not too late.

Oh my God, that's so great!

Yeah!

You're coming home with us, Jasper!

Yes, you are!

We're um We-uh, we named him Jasper.

It's a good name, it suits him.

(Laughs)

Thanks, um Okay, well, I have to go.

I have a vet call, but I won't be too long.

All right, well, take your time.

We'll just be here getting to know each other.

Okay, bye.

- Bye.

- Bye!

- Bye, bye, mamma!

- Bye.

(Both chuckle)

(Flame pants)

(Squeals, whinnies)

Georgie: Hey!

Easy.

(Flame whinnies)

(Hooves thud)

(Clatters, Georgie groans)

- Okay Georgie, bring it in.

- I wanna go again.

We haven't made much progress since yesterday.

Maybe we should wait until you have a little less on your mind.

I wish everyone would stop assuming I'm a wreck!

I can do the jumps, we just need to school Flame harder.

Georgie, Flame can make these jumps.

And so can you.

But something's holding you back.

I'm not the problem, Flame is, anyone can see that.

I've got some homework to do, I'm going back to the house.

Hey.

(Flame nickers)

(Flame whinnies)

(Hooves thud)

(Flame snorts)

(Door slams)

(Footsteps thud)

(Crow crows)

(Sighs heavily)

Hey Tim, I dropped that skunk off at the wildlife reserve.

I put the cage over by your truck.

The duvet is there as well, but honestly, you're gonna wanna throw that thing out, - it stinks to high heaven.

- Good job.

Look, maybe you could do me a favour too, and not mention to Lou that I was here.

I'd rather let sleeping dogs lie.

You know, just 'cause things went south with you and Lou didn't mean you had to quit your job.

Well, it was just it was time to move on.

So I moved on.

Hmm, too bad.

Jack really liked having you around.

Thanks for your help, Trooper.

(Crickets chirp)

(Wind howls eerily)

(Sighs heavily)

(Water rushes)

(Crash)

(Light clank)

(Gasps)

- Looking for this?

- (Gasps)

(Panicked breathing)

(Sighs)

(Sighs)

Hey - What are you doing up?

- Can't sleep.

(Sighs)

Well, join the club?

(Laughs)

(Sighs)

Tell me something, when was the last time you had a good night's rest?

I don't know.

I just keep thinking about how different things could be.

If he didn't decide to drink and drive that day.

(Sighs)

So Charles actually came by the ranch earlier.

Now I've been debating whether or not to even say anything to you about this, but he wants to know if you'll give him a chance to make amends.

Now, you 100% don't have to do that.

I mean, I'm not even sure how I feel about you doing it.

But I do know that sometimes in order to get past something, the best thing to do is just to face it head on.

But it's your call, sweetheart.

Okay?

Whatever you want to do is fine.

It's definitively not gonna be Tim.

I agree.

He is an amazing grandfather, but he's not the right choice for the legal guardian.

So we've ruled out Jack and Tim now.

So I guess that leaves Lou.

Yep.

- Although - What?

Something happened yesterday at work, and I'm starting to lean in a different direction.

(Lyndy coos)

Lisa: You seem very quiet today.

Oh, well there's something I need to get off my chest, I guess.

Okay.

I have been trying real hard not to let the fact that another man bought flowers for my wife bother me, but I am failing miserably.

- (Laughs)

- Now I know that may seem petty and jealous, but I'm hoping you'll cut me some slack, since I don't think you've been completely honest with me.

(Sighs)

I am broke.

What?

Not totally, but very nearly.

And I'm having a hard time keeping my business afloat.

People just aren't buying expensive horses like they used to, so My accountant has suggested that I lay off some of my trainers and my stable hands, and I don't want to, I can't!

They have mortgages, and they have families, and I-so So you're selling your house in France, and he's your real estate agent.

He sent me the flowers because he was hoping for a big, fat commission.

- Oh!

- That's it!

But why didn't you tell me this in the first place?

Well I-it's difficult to talk about money with you, I feel like it's an elephant in the room, and you know what, it doesn't even matter because I'm not selling the house, I'm going to rent it instead, And I'm gonna use all the rental money to keep the lights on here, and so really, nothing's changing.

Well, that's not true, you can't live in a house that's rented out.

And I know how much your time in France means to you.

Well, I'm not expecting a lot of sympathy from people that I have to rent my house in France, boo hoo!

Cry me a river, right?

Times are tough for a lot of people right now.

Well, the very fact that you're keeping your business going, and all your staff employed doesn't make me feel sympathy for you, it makes me feel proud.

Thank you.

(Sighs)

Okay, yeah I will, Lou.

I promise.

Okay, I love you too.

Bye.

Okay, are you ready?

Listen, you don't have to go downstairs if you don't want to, you know that, right?

No, I I'm ready.

Okay.

(Floorboard creaks, readying exhale)

(Sighs)

(Peter sighs)

Hello, Georgie.

I don't know how to begin.

I'm not here to make excuses.

I was 19-years-old when I got into my car drunk.

Old enough to know better.

And uh I'm sure the two years I spent in jail don't seem like enough to you.

And you're right.

I deserved worse.

But I'm not the same person I was 14-years-ago.

And I know what I took away from you and your brother is unforgivable, but I want you to know how sorry I am.

Was that your kid?

The one I saw when I came to your door?

Yeah.

That's my daughter.

She's 14-months-old, her name is Jillian.

That's a pretty name.

Thank you.

I guess I was just a little older than Jillian when my when I lost my parents.

I don't remember my life with them in it.

I only remember my life without them, and it was it was pretty bad before I came here.

(Sighs heavily)

I can't forgive you for something I don't remember, but you can make me a promise instead.

(Deep, tearful breath)

Yeah, all right.

Promise you'll tell Jillian you love her, every day.

Even when she stains the carpet with her grape juice, or puts in the dry wall because she did three cartwheels in a row.

And when she's a teenager, be the kind of dad that'll fly in from anywhere, just to be there for her.

Even when she pretends she doesn't want him there.

Because the truth is she needs him, and she loves him, even though she doesn't say it enough.

(Sighs)

I I promise.

(Sighs)

(Sighs)

So you're probably wondering what all this is about.

We wanted to ask you something.

You see, Amy and I are putting together a will right now, And we need to appoint a legal guardian for our daughter just in case anything should happen to us.

So we were hoping that you two would agree to be Lyndy's guardians.

- Yes, of course.

- Yeah, definitely.

Not that anything would ever happen to you guys.

Of course not, but if it ever did, we'd love her like she was our own daughter.

Yeah.

(Lyndy coos)

Aw, you hear that?

Did you hear that?

Thanks, Caleb.

(Lyndy laughs)

Yep, that's right, Lou.

I saved us 300 bucks getting rid of that skunk on my own.

Nope!

No, it doesn't smell like skunk in here.

Well, I covered it with a blanket over the cage before it sprayed.

Just the one from the bed.

Duvet, blanket, whatever you wanna call it.

Yeah, I can replace it.

(Laughs)

$600?

No, I'm not replacing the whole bed.

$600 for the duvet?!

If you don't let go You're never gonna know Don't be sad And never look back If you don't let go You're never gonna know Don't be sad And never look back (Hooves thud, Flame snorts)
