AMY: Previously on "Heartland:"

Ty!

AMY: I miss you, Ty, but I
will do my best to move on,

because I know that's
what you would want,

and that's what our
daughter and I will do.

It's been amazing being in
business with you guys, but...

I gotta do this.

- I'm buying the herd.
- PETER: I still have feelings for you, Lou,

and I just wanted you to know.

I think we need to take a break.

TIM: You know, I meant what
I said about you travelling.

You want to get to know me better,

what do you think about tagging along?

Yes, I... I guess you are. But that's...

that's not really school,

it's a day camp, it's just for a week.

But Auntie Lou says it's school.

Yeah, she does, doesn't she?

It's um,

it's what Auntie Lou calls
"preschool prep camp."

It's still school.

They're a couple of divas.

That's what happens when

- For?
- Ah, Dark Horse.

It's an equestrian show.

LYNDY: Mama? Is that

I think it is.

And I think I know who it is, Lyndy.

It's an old friend of mine.

I feel like I've been driving forever.

I didn't realize your
ranch was so far away.

It's like it's in the middle of nowhere.

It's quite pretty, though, isn't it?

I'm sorry. I'm Renard's lead trainer.

- He insisted I come see you.
- Really, his trainer?

I'm hungry, Mommy.

Oh. Um... how about you run inside,

- and ask Lisa for a snack.
- Okay.

- Okay, see you in a minute.
- (LYNDY LAUGHS)

- Your daughter?
- Yeah.

Tell me more about Renard, how is he?

He's fine, getting on, of course,

everyone thinks he should
retire, but he won't listen.

He did send you an email, right?

Why I'm here?

No, I haven't heard
from Renard in years.

Okay. He forgot.

- That's why he should retire.
- (LAUGHS)

Okay, so, here I am. At his bidding.

Let me show you why.

That is Zeus. He is the
star of Dark Horse.

Wow, he's beautiful.

And this...

this is his partner, Juniper.

A word of advice, keep your distance.

These two have worked
together for two years,

but in the middle of a recent show,

they att*cked each other, and myself.

And Renard seems to think
that you, and only you,

can figure out what the
problem is, and fix it.

Of course, if you choose
not to work with them...

Oh! No, I... I would love to.

But really, you don't have to stay here.

No, I have to, it's my job, apparently.

All right, well, let's
get them settled in.

How long have you been
working with Renard?

Oh, almost ten years. Oh
my, is it really that long?

I can't believe it.

- (APPROACHING FOOTSTEPS THUD)
- Hey.

So, listen to this.

- Garland calls me up,
- (WATER RUNS)

and he's wondering why Tim
doesn't return his calls.

And he wants to talk to him.

- Yeah?
- To Tim. He's doesn't wanna talk to me.

So when I ask him why,

he says, well,

because since...

I've always been adverse to
expanding the Heartland herd,

he thought he'd have better
luck convincing Tim to buy 'em.

Oh, t... I'm sorry. To buy what?

- Mitch's herd.
- Oh!

Mitch is selling his herd?

Well, yeah, and the
property at Aspen Grove.

You must have known.

No. No, I didn't know.

- (RECEDING FOOTSTEPS)
- (JACK EXHALES)

- What else did Fred say?
- Oh, more of the same.

He figured I was happy just being
the figurehead of Heartland beef,

and that I might be wrapping
up my involvement by now.

What does he mean, "by now"?

I'm guessing that he means at this point

in some people's
career, some men would...

want to take a step back.

Ah, you mean, some men my age.

No, I don't mean age. You're successful.

So maybe he thinks you wanna
stop and smell the roses.

Oh! "Smell the roses."

I don't mean literally
smell roses, Jack.

(BIRDS CHIRP)

So, your mom tells me you're
going to school in the fall?

No, I'm going to school tomorrow.

- No, honey, that's not school.
- Yes, it is.

(AMY CHUCKLES)

There's this wonderful
program for kids like Lyndy

who don't have daycare or
nursery school experience.

It teaches them how to
behave in the classroom.

It's the summer!

Kids need to be outside playing,

and making their own adventures,

not learning to sit at a desk.

They've got plenty of years
ahead of 'em to be doing that.

I would agree, I think
it's a little bit premature.

It's not! And you know what?
It'll be good for you, too.

You need to learn to let
the baby bird leave the nest.

Sylvie, please, tell us about travelling

with this amazing show, Dark Horse.

- What is that like?
- It's wonderful.

I've been all around the world,

met interesting people,

not to mention the beautiful
horses I get to perform with.

- It must be incredible.
- It is.

It's exhausting, you
know, all the rehearsing,

and travelling, and
press and training, but...

I love it. It's my dream job.

What do you do?

I dance with horses.

Do you like horses?

I love them.

Oh! (LAUGHS) So do I.

(ALARM BEEPS)

Oh! Um... but I must excuse
myself. I have to get my sleep.

I get up early to do my own workout,

and then another
workout with the horses.

Thank you so much for dinner.

We have an extra room if
you would like to stay there.

Oh! Um, no, no, no, I'm
used to life on the road,

so I have a very comfortable
setup in my trailer.

I prefer it.

- LOU AND LISA: Goodnight.
- Bonsoir !

(RECEDING FOOTSTEPS)

(SIGHS, LAUGHS WRYLY)

So, tell me how you really feel

about the preschool prep
camp I went to all the trouble

of finding out about.

Well, you're probably right.

It'll be good for both of us.

And, I'm gonna be busy
working with Sylvie,

- so the timing is good.
- See?

I think that she took
the job I turned down.

(SMALL LAUGH) I would
be travelling the world,

hanging out with famous
people if I had've accepted

that offer, just like her.

Do you regret it?

No. Not at all.

Ten years ago, working with Renard,

and those liberty horses,

that was my dream.

(SIGHS)

Well, I get that.

I've had my own dreams
that slipped away.

Mitch is selling Aspen Grove

and his herd,

and he didn't even tell me.

Yeah, but you guys broke up
six months ago, why would he?

Well, we still talk sometimes, I mean,

you'd think he would've
told me something like that.

I mean, it's pretty...
life-changing. (SIGHS)

I just, I don't understand men at all.

And Peter?

Have you talked to him lately?

Yeah, I talk to him all the time.

Yeah, but he still hasn't
mentioned that weird

late night phone call that
you said changed everything?

It's like it never happened.

I mean, we talk about everything,

we talk about kids, work,

everything else in
the world except that.

The most important thing.

Why don't you just bring it up?

No. No, I can't.

I can't let Peter think
that he's the reason

I broke things off with Mitch.

(SIGHS)

(PENSIVE SIGH) Anyway, your birthday.

- No, no, no, no.
- It's comin' up.

Do you want to do something special?

I'd rather just forget
about it, to be honest.

Amy.

I know, I used to love birthdays, but...

now...

with Ty, I ju...

Please don't let Lisa
do anything big, okay?

We already know you
want it to be low-key.

Thank you.

Please stay.

Please?

(SMALL LAUGH)

OPERATOR: The person you are
calling is not available.

Please leave a message.

Mitch, it's Jack.

I understand you already
sold your herd, good on ya.

Now, listen.

The fact is I've realized now that...

(LAUGHS)

well, if I want something,
I gotta go get it,

and I made a mistake in...

in not buying your cattle
when I had the chance.

And I just want you to know that

if that deal happens to fall through,

I'll buy that herd in a heartbeat.

And it'd be good to... (SIGHS)

you know, just...

well... (LAUGHS)

you know, keep it in
the family, and just...

sorry for the long-winded message.

And... see ya.

Now what is going on here?
It's dinner time, you know.

- Don't tell.

- Okay...
- Mr. Bartlett,

would you like to try something magical?

No, no.

You know what they say about
old dogs and new tricks.

Oh, come on.

I don't see any old dogs around here.

Come! Try.

Oh, you are very welcome. (LAUGHS)

Renard is really lucky to have you.

You know, it was hard on Renard

when you turned down his offer.
Most people can't say no to him.

(SIGHS)

I've spent a lot of the last ten years

trying to measure up to you.

I've sometimes felt like
I was his second choice.

- I'm so glad you turned him down.
- (BOTH LAUGH)

Your life is so exciting.

I mean, travel and performances.

Maybe I missed out on a once
in-a-lifetime opportunity.

I don't think so. I envy you.

Your beautiful daughter,
your incredible family,

and your amazing talent.

Being here made me realize
just how much I've given up

for a life on the road.

It was a good experience
working with you.

You have helped me to remember
that it's all about the horses,

- not the spotlight.

Well, I think we both
made the right choices.

Great picture.

God, I just, I have to

Mitch is leaving, he's
getting on with his life,

And if it's not gonna be
with Peter, either, then...

I just have to deal with that.

It's time I learn to be on my own.

Oh! You think I would've
figured that out by now.

Hey, don't be so hard on yourself.

I learn from you every day.
