AMY: Previously on "Heartland": Grandpa, Dad, meet Jessica Cook.
Life isn't fair, but it's the only we've got, right?
So live it.
I can stay, if... if that's what you need.
You know, what I need is for you to grab every opportunity that comes your way.
Just get out there and be amazing. Grandpa, when will I stop dreaming of Ty?
Amy, I can't promise that's gonna stop, but what I can tell you is, pretty soon those dreams and memories of Ty won't haunt you anymore, they'll bring you comfort.

So I've been to a couple weddings here.
It's, it's classy, not too pretentious.
- Pricy.
- I agree.
Besides, I've already decided to have my reception at the Dude Ranch.
But that's where you wanted to have your first wedding.
Yeah, but that never actually happened.
Okay, but you're keeping an open mind.
Yes.
My mind is very open to planning my dream wedding and the reception I never actually got to have.
- Right.
- Well, you deserve it, honey.
You know, you can have your wedding at the Dude Ranch
- and not pay a cent in rent.
- I'm curious, Tim, what your sudden interest in wedding planning is?
Normally you would avoid this like the plague.
It's true.
You were unusually eager to tour venues with us today.
What's the deal?
I'm just...
I'm trying to help.
Jessica.
- Tim.
Ah, ladies, thank you so much for letting me tag along.
I got some really, really great sh*ts.
- Good.
- There must be something better to photograph than polo.
It's so boring.
(LAUGHS DRYLY)
Yeah, well, it's one of my favourite sports,
- so I guess that makes me really boring.

Sorry we're back so early, but Lyndy didn't want ice cream and she kept asking for you.
That's okay.
Hi, sweetheart.
Oh!
Thank you.
(HUGGING GRUNT)
Lately, she hasn't wanted to leave my side.
- Ah.
- I love you.
You didn't want ice cream?
What little girl doesn't want ice cream, huh?
You must not be my daughter.
- No.
- BOTH: (GIGGLE)
- (HOOVES CLOP)
- I'm not trying to diss polo.
It's just that rodeo requires a certain level of skill and grit.
Polo's just showy.
- Rodeo isn't?
- Well...
Rodeo's blood, sweat, and tears.
You know, that's about as real as it gets.
You don't think all those oversized belt buckles there and the rodeo queens, you don't find that
- a little bit showy?
- That's different.
I mean, there's some spectacle, sure, but the people that go to rodeos, they're the...
they're the real deal, you know?
Salt of the earth.
Polo's just an excuse for rich people to get together and drink champagne.
See, I don't think you would say that if you actually played, 'cause polo is a lot harder than it looks.
Well...
I know that it's hard to watch, but it's probably easier to play.
(LAUGHS)
I think I'd pick it up pretty easily.
Jessica, do you have a moment?
(LAUGHS)
Absolutely.
This is Roland, my very dear old friend, and he was asking who was taking the pictures, so I thought I'd make a quick introduction.
This is Jessica.
She's from New York.
Nice to meet you.
I'd really love
- to see your photos sometime.
- Yeah, of course.
I would love to show you my work.
Roland organizes all the practice matches.
If anyone wants to join us, we're short a player next weekend.
Well, it's funny you say that, because Tim here was just telling me that he's basically a professional polo player.
- Uh...
- I didn't say professional.
Now, Tim, don't be modest.
You should play.
- Uh...
- I'd owe you big time.
Yeah, well, it's kinda last minute.
I'd hate to cancel.
If you could...
Unless the thought of a friendly polo match
- makes you nervous.
- Not nervous.
Not nervous.
I'm...
yeah, okay, sure, I'll play.
Really?
That's fantastic.
Yeah, I'll see you at the game.
- Match.
- The match.

I can hook you up with one of my contacts at the polo club.
- No, not a good idea.
- Why not?
Well, I might've left the impression with some of the polo club members that I'm not a complete novice.
(LAUGHS)
Okay, well, if you're not willing to talk to anyone at the polo club, how're you gonna get access to polo ponies?
- Just thought I'd use Champ.
- No, you can't use Champ.
These polo ponies are specifically trained for this.
And besides, you're gonna need at least three of them.
What?
Why?
Well, you need to switch horses after each chukker.
Um, a chukker, it's like an inning or a period.
(LAUGHS)
A chukker.
(LAUGHS)
You asked for the help.
(DRESS RUSTLES)
I love that dress on you.
You looked so beautiful on your wedding day.
Oh, this isn't my old dress.
This is the new dress.
Oh!
It is?
Um...
I just thought it took months to order a wedding dress. Uh, there was a sample sale.
I just sorta bought it on impulse.
You don't think it looks the same as my old dress, do you?
No, of course not.
I'm uh...
I'm sure it'll look way different when it's on.
Well, I've got a load of laundry to do. Just let me know if you wanna throw anything in.
- Okay.
- (RECEDING FOOTSTEPS THUD) JACK: Polo?! Tim?
Are you sure?
I was there when he volunteered.
- Tim Fleming?
- Yes.
Tim's never played polo in his life.
I think he's trying to impress Jessica.
I'm not gonna go into too much detail, but Lou and Amy witnessed a "moment" down at the Dude Ranch.
- I think he's quite smitten.
- Ugh...
Thanks to your wife, I made a fool of myself today.
The one thing you're good at doing all on your own is making a fool of yourself.
I'm sure Lisa had nothing to do with it.
She's the one that introduced Jessica to Ritchie Rich Roland and now I gotta figure out a way to get out of a polo game.
'Scuse me, match.
So you're not gonna play then?
Turns out polo's a lot more complicated than I thought.
- You're chickening out.
- Self-preservation.
Aren't you the one who said to me, "Jack, you're being a stick in the mud." That's when I wanted to drop out of that Hunt Club Ride.
That's different.
Yeah, it's different because it was me.
Now that it's your turn to trade your chaps for a pair of breeches, you're chickening out.
No, I'm not.
Fine.
You're right.
Why risk making an even bigger fool of yourself, especially in front of Jessica.
Dropping out is the right thing to do, even if it is cowardly.
So... do they look the same?
Be honest.
Uh... there are certain similarities, but they're not exactly the same.
Are they similar because they're both white dresses or because they look identical?
Uh...
Oh my God, Amy was right.
How could I have been so blind?
Well, it's okay.
We can fix it.
There's plenty of time to buy a new dress.
We could go to the bridal store right now.
I'm sure they're still having the sample sale.
Lisa, it's just like you said.
I've been planning the exact same wedding I wanted to have with Peter, right down to the dress.
How sick and twisted is that?
Whatever has been done can be easily undone.
We can still even book Hillhurst.
I make one phone call, it's done.
(SIGHS)

I don't know what I would do without you.

(MONTY WHINNIES)
Well, she's a real chip off the old block, isn't she?

But I was actually just thinking it might be time for a more challenging horse.
You know, Stumpy's got a real nice kid's pony, and I know he'd let Lyndy have it for a while
- 'cause it'd save him on feed.
- (LAUGHS)
Grandpa, we've got enough horses around here, and...
I think that Lyndy's ready for, you know, a full-sized horse.
Yeah, which one did you have in mind?
I was thinking about Harley.
Well, that's a pretty big jump from a miniature.
You sure she's up for it?
I was riding a full-sized horse at her age.
Besides, Harley's totally bombproof and he was her dad's.
I think it's perfect.
All right.
How about you hang out with Grandpa,
(GRUNT OF EFFORT)
and I will go get Harley tacked up.
Come on up here, you.
(GRUNTS)
Okay.
(SIGHS HEAVILY)

- You're an artist.
- I don't know about that.
Uh, hey, Tim.
- Hey.
- You remember Roland?
Sure.
I'm just showing him some of my photos.
Yeah, too bad you can't make it this weekend.
Uh, it was turning out to be a heck of a match.
Yeah, well, I just, I couldn't get out of that commitment.
But maybe next time.
- Yeah, next time for sure.
- (LAUGHS)
Yeah.
Well, I should be going.
I'll leave you guys to your...
your meeting.
- Good to see you.
- Good seeing you, Tim.

(HARLEY'S HOOVES CLOP)

I'm gonna take her in for a snack.
What, right now?
Well, she seems done with riding for the day, and... and we don't wanna push her.
Well, this won't take long.
Lyndy, Honey, um, how about we ride Harley and then we can have a snack after?
Well, I've already promised her a treat and I don't wanna go back on my word, so.
- Let's go, honey.
- Grandpa, what're you doing?
We can try with Harley on another day.
There's no reason to rush into anything.
That's a big horse for her, and she's got all the time in the world.

- Well, that's good news.
- Yeah, yeah, it's great, but...
It's a little odd, don't you think?

But throwing Lyndy into the deep end like that, I couldn't do it.
Do you really think I would put my daughter on Harley if she wasn't ready?
No, I know you wouldn't, - but she's four years old.
- Exactly.
Just about the same age I was when my dad left.
Mom never coddled me.
She taught me how to stand on my own two feet.
But what does that have to do with riding Harley?
(SIGHS HEAVILY)
Ty was an amazing father, you and I both know that, but it's also no secret he bubble-wrapped her.
(CHUCKLES)
He worried about Lyndy so much that he built her a treehouse on the ground.
(LAUGHS)
Yeah.
(SIGHS)
Look, I loved the way he doted on her, but it's my job as her mother to help her stand on her own two feet, just the way my mom did with me.
Well, she's adjusting fairly well, all things considered.
Maybe, but lately, she won't leave my side.
She won't sleep through the night in her own bed.
Grandpa, I am not gonna let her do anything that she's not ready for, I promise you that.
But she's strong.
She's so much stronger than she looks.
Oh, of course she is.
She gets that from the Bartlett side of the family.

And I wish he was, but he's not.
And I know that makes you sad. It makes me sad, too. And I think maybe Harley's sad as well, because Daddy can't ride him anymore.

Please, can I tell them?

Georgie has been performing extremely well on the circuit in Florida.
So well, in fact, that she's within inches away from securing her spot in the North American Youth Championship.
It's not for sure.
I'm just, I'm on their radar. They're considering me. Oh, they're more than just considering... Georgie's gonna play this down, but the North American Youth Championship is an extremely high level of competition.
She'd be competing against future Olympians.

she could be a future Olympian.

Oh, Quinn and I are having breakfast in the morning.
- I thought you had your business meeting in the morning?
- Uh, yeah.
I shuffled some things around, so that...
we could do breakfast.
So your business here is obviously very important, but not so important that you can't take time off to have breakfast with my dad?
Cool your jets, Lou. I...
I asked him to move his business meeting.
And why is that?
Because, uh, he's teaching me to play polo, and we've been practicing at his friend's all day.
You've got to be kidding me.
I needed someone who would be discreet, 'cause it's a small town.
Wait.
Am I'm missing something?
Why do you need discreet polo lessons?
Because Tim is participating in a practice polo match this weekend.
I thought you dropped out.
- I dropped back in.
- But you hate polo.
I have a new respect for it.
It's also Jessica's favourite sport.
Ah, now I understand.
- Who's Jessica?
- I'll explain it to you later.
Quinn, I think Tim has taken advantage of your kindness.
No, I was in town for a business trip anyways, and, uh, it turns out
- that Tim's a pretty decent polo player.
- Gah!
No, he is not!
Well, this I would really like to see.
- Me too.
When's the match?
- It doesn't matter.
It's tomorrow, isn't it?
I think we should all make a day out of it, don't you?

- He crossed the line of play.
- And that's bad, right?
- Right.
So now the other team gets a penalty sh*t.
Okay.
That's, that's all right.
You'll get 'em next time, Dad!
LISA: (LAUGHS)

(HOOVES THUD)
(HARD WHACK, BALL THUDS)
- Yay!
Nice!
Good job, Roland!
- Yay, Roland!
- (MALLETS CLACK)
- PLAYERS: Good sh*t!
Good sh*t!
You know, he's doing all right, all things considered.
Well, he sure is entertaining me, I'll tell you that.
- Oh yeah...
- (SIGHS)
- Thank you.
- Good job, Tim!
(CLAPPING)
- Doing great!
- (WHISTLE BLOWS)
Hey.
- Great news about Georgie.
Oh, yeah.
I'm really proud of her.
Mm-hmm.
And the best part is, the two of you have your entire lives ahead of you, you know?
You can just take your time.
No need to rush into anything, you know what I'm saying?
(HORSES WHINNY IN THE ARENA)
- No, I have no idea.
- I would just hate to see the two of you make a decision about the future that you might regret later.
You know, you're very young.
Georgie especially is very, very young.
I think I know what you're getting at.
- You do?
- Yeah.
- You think it's too soon.
- Way too soon.
You know, I used to worry about that too, but these past few weeks I've realized that...
she's never been more ready.
She is -years-old, Quinn.
I know.
You're right, she's young, and it is a huge commitment.
Huge.
Massive.
Life changing really.
- Right.
But...
- (WHISTLE BLOWS)
we've talked it over and...
I promise you, it's what she wants.
- It is?
- I've never met somebody who's so focused and determined to going after her dreams.
(WHISTLE BLOWS)
Uh... what dream exactly are you talking about?
The Youth Championship.
What... what are you talking about?
Uh, same.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, we're talking about the same thing.
We are completely simpatico.
You know, I'm glad we could hash this out.
(KNOCKS ON TABLE)
Good chat.
(SIGHS)
(LYNDY AND AMY GIGGLE)
- Look, he licked my coat.
- He did lick you.
I think he likes you.
I think he does like licking.
Maybe this horse will give you a kiss.
Hi!
There you are.
We wondered where you went.
Lyndy wanted to see the horses.
- How's the match going?
- Not too great for Tim's team.
May be better in the second half.
You know what I saw?
(WHISPERS)
A puppy.
- (GASPS)
You go see the puppy.
- I wanna show you.
I'll bring her back.
Come here, come here.
Let's see, where'd it go?
Listen, Amy, I...
wanted to tell you that, the way you handled Lyndy yesterday, - I admired that.
- (HORSE GRUNTS)
You shouldn't.
I'm such a fraud.
Why would you say that?
I've been trying to donate Ty's clothes, and I haven't been able to go through with it.
Well, I don't see how that makes you a fraud.
Well, how can I expect my daughter to be so strong when I'm obviously not?
There's no timeline on what you're going through.
You'll donate Ty's things when you're good and ready.
What if I'm never ready?
You will be.
Just like Lyndy will ride Harley and sleep through the night in her own bed, when she's good and ready.
Every moment...
that I witness between you and your daughter is an act of...
profound strength, and I couldn't be more proud of you.
(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)
(HOOVES THUD, POLO PONY SNORTS)
Hey, Tim, I'm glad you were able to make it out today.
I'm just sorry you're having a bit of a rough go.
Yeah, well, I'm just getting warmed up.
Well, best of luck in the second half.

It's those fluid motions.
Woo!
(LAUGHS)
- Good effort, Tim.
- Pleasure.
- Tim!
- Really nice.
Sorry.
Hey.
You were great out there.
- I was terrible.
- (LAUGHS)
Yeah, turns out polo is a lot tougher than it looks.
Well, I could've told you that.
I think I did, actually.
Yeah, well, I should've listened.
You know, I always thought I was a good rider 'til I got on a polo saddle.
And you and Roland make hitting the ball look so easy.
Your team, you... you deserved to win.
All right, well, we're sharing the champagne with everyone, so come on.
- Ah, I can't.
- Tim, come on, it's a fun match.
Don't be a sore loser.
I mean I can't drink.
I...
I don't drink.
I'm a recovering addict.
And also, it's, it's just not my scene.
My life could not be further from polo and champagne celebrations.
Why are you telling me this?
'Cause I like you.
Why do you think I came out today?
But instead of trying to prove something, I should've just put my cards on the table.
ROLAND: Jessica! Hurry up!
We're about to open the good stuff!
Yeah, I'm coming.
I'll be right there.
- (CORK POPS)
- Yeah...
I should go.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
(DOOR BANGS SHUT)
(FOOTSTEPS CRUNCH IN THE SNOW)
(CLEARS HER THROAT)
So...
you gonna tell me what happened to my dress, or do I have to drag it out of you?
I'm really sorry.
I'll pay for the dry cleaning out of my allowance.
Is this because you don't want Mitch and I to get married?
No.
Why does everyone keep asking me that?
I didn't mean to do it.
It just happened while I was... trying it on.
It would not have gotten that dirty if all you did was try it on.
Okay, fine.
I've always wanted to wear a long flowing dress...
while riding a horse.
Like Arwen in "Lord of the Rings." You went riding in my wedding dress?!
(BURSTS OUT LAUGHING)
This is not funny.
Does... this mean I'm not grounded?
(LAUGHING)
Come on.
(LAUGHING)
You're crazy, you know that?
- It was a lot of fun though.
- (LAUGHING HARDER)
- Did you feel like Arwen?
- Yeah.
(LAUGHING)
- Thank you.
- TIM: You guys decent?
Oh, uh, yeah.
(FOOTSTEPS THUMP ON STAIRS)
I wondered if I could have a word with our coach.
Okay, yeah, absolutely.
I'm sorry, I couldn't be at the match today.
I had an online course I couldn't miss.
Oh, you didn't miss a thing.
Trust me.
(LAUGHS)
Okay.
I'm gonna head to the house then.
- 'Kay.
- Night.
- Night!
- (FOOTSTEPS THUMP ON STAIRS)
I just wanted to thank you for everything today.
You know, if it wasn't your help, I would've made a complete fool of myself out there.
(LAUGHS)
You did well.
Hey, a few more lessons, you'll be a real pro.
No, I don't think so.
I think I'll be hanging up my mallet.
But I also appreciate you moving that business meeting of yours so that you could teach me a couple lessons. Don't mention it.
I had a fun time.
Okay, well, if I don't see you tomorrow, - have a safe trip.
- Thanks.
You know, you and I both know that Georgie's a pretty incredible rider all on her own, but having a coach like you in her corner, it doesn't surprise me that she's doing so well.
Take care.

And I thought that maybe tonight, we could leave it right here with you.
Does that sound okay?
Okay.
(JACKET THUMPS LIGHTLY, LIGHT PAT)
Now, I want you to close your eyes and try to get some sleep, okay?
- Okay.

Okay.
(SIGHS HEAVILY)
You know, actually, there was one more thing I was hoping to talk to you about.
Um, (CLEARS THROAT)
it's, it's kind of embarrassing, but the first night you were here, I, I couldn't help but notice...
Well, I saw inside your bag there was a ring box.
Oh!
Yeah, it...
- you mean this?
- Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, that's the one.
- Yeah.
- (BOX CLICKS OPEN)
Oh... cufflinks.
Yeah, that makes a lot more sense.
Oh, what did you think it was?
Um, you know what?
It's not important.
Oh, you, you didn't think that I was...
I'm just gonna go ahead and get outta your hair, let you finish packing.
Better hurry up.
You don't wanna miss your flight.
Okay, yeah.
Thank you.

Hi.
Thanks for coming.
So I guess it's time for me to put my cards on the table, right?
The truth is, I really like you, too.
(LAUGHS UNCOMFORTABLY)
I've been a nomad for months now, and... I love it.
It's a freedom that I have never experienced before.
You know, I'm living my life one day at time.
You know, today, I'm in Hudson.
Tomorrow, who knows where?
So...
I just, I don't wanna make you a promise that I can't keep.
Mm-hmm.
Well, I wasn't looking for promises, I was looking for an hour...
for coffee.
Well, a coffee date sounds nice.
What're you doing right now?
Think you can find a couple mugs?
Yeah, I think I can do that.
I got a tin pot and some coffee beans in my truck.
I can make you a cowboy coffee over that fire you'll never forget.
Best cup of Joe, guaranteed.
Now this, I gotta try.
All right, let's do it.

I can't believe Katie pulled this stunt.

I know I probably should be, but...

- Or the one before it.
Or...
the venue we picked.
I just...
(SIGHS)
I'm sorry, I don't know what's wrong with me.
(INHALES DEEPLY)
(SIGHS)
Honey, when I married your grandfather, it was the definition of a low-key event, but it was perfect for me.
It didn't matter what I was wearing or the location, it's how I felt.
I hope you can find your way to that feeling on your wedding day.
It doesn't matter how you do it.
(SIGHS)
I hope so too.
