15x06 - Happy Ever After

Post by bunniefuu »

Previously on "Heartland"...

- Look at that one!
- Yeah.

His markings are so cool.

I'm gonna gentle him for my dad's wife.

Peter!

What are you doing here?

I think we should probably talk, right?

Yes.

To what?

To the party that you
were talking about. To...

to celebrating our
marriage with the family.

Small and simple, right?

Yeah.

Well, did you mean what you said?

Yes, I meant it.

- Does that scare you?
- No, I'm here, aren't I?

Hup! Hup! Come on! Get up!

Hup! Hup! Hup!

Good boy. Get up. Hup!

Hey, easy.

Easy.

Hey, what's this?

It's not gonna hurt you, okay?

It's all right. I know.

I'm gonna put this on
your back, all right?

It's okay.

Good boy.

Good. There you go.

Okay. Come on.

Hey, Amy.

Whoa. Whoa. You're okay.

What're you doin' here, Dad?

Well, hi to you, too.

I just mean I thought you had
to prepare for this weekend.

Aren't you the
self-appointed party planner?

I, I am planning, as we speak.

That's why I came to see what
the progress was on this horse,

this wildie.

Peter?

Peter?

I just still can't believe that Tim

is committed to this
wedding ceremony thing.

It's not a wedding or a ceremony.

He and Jessica just want an evening

with the family to celebrate.

A small barbecue at the Dude Ranch.

That is what Tim has promised me,

and I am holding him to it.

Well, if there's anything I
can do to help, you let me know.

He said he's got it all taken care
of. It's not gonna be a big thing.

A few steaks, little bit of
wine, little conversation,

very casual.

See? Next step is to get him
comfortable with the saddle.

But I think we've come a long way.

Yeah, I was,

I was hoping you'd made
a little more progress.

Dad, this is a wild horse.

- You don't gentle them overnight.
- Right, I know, I get it.

To do this properly, it takes months.

Why are you so impatient?

I wanted to give him to
Jessica as a gift at the party.

The party this weekend.

Ah, it's a big ask, I know.

Dad, I just don't think I can do that.

I just, I just wanted it
to be a surprise and...

Oh! And this.

- Uh... an engagement ring?
- I was walking past the jewellery store.

I, I don't know what came over me.

Spoke to me.

Back to business.

I have full faith that if
you put your mind to it,

you're gonna have this wildie ready.

It's gonna mean so much on the big day.

So, now this is the "big day?"

Yeah! Yeah, good luck.

Hey!

You came back.

Yeah, I was just doing a Maggie's run.

I mean, I thought that when
you stayed in the Dude Ranch

it was complete breakfast service, but,

- you know, maybe I'm mistaken.
- Right. No, no, no, it is. I'm sorry.

Oh, oh, I'm just kidding. Are you okay?

Yeah, I, I kinda thought
you changed your mind

and made a break for it.

What? No! Gosh, no.

You really think I'd
do something like that?

We haven't even had a
chance to talk yet. I mean...

with the kids and family
around all the time,

it's been a little difficult, you know?

Yeah, well it's also hard
to concentrate on anything

- with you around.
- Oh yeah?

Mm-hmm.

But... we really do need to talk.

- Yes. Yes.
- Right? Okay.

- We do.
- Let's do it.

Lay all our cards on
the table and just uh...

- get it figured out, you know?
- Right.

- Yes, absolutely.
- Good.

So, Tim, Jessica,

I've decided to stay for
the party this weekend.

But I thought you had to go
back to Vancouver for work?

I was able to move some meetings
around, sweetheart, so...

Well, that's great, Peter. I hope
that you didn't move your schedule

around too much because it's
just gonna be a small thing.

- You wouldn't be missin' much.
- I wouldn't say that.

No, I... I really wanna be there.

I mean, it's family, right, so.

Yeah, I mean, especially
since Georgie couldn't get out

of her jumping competition to come home,

I think it's great Peter can be there.

- Here.
- Sure!

Oh! Hey, let me give you a hand uh...

- Sure!
- with that.

Thank you, sir!

Hey, everybody, I think
we should have dessert

in the living room around
the fire. And hurry up.

Hey, what're you doing?

Are you crazy? Cut it out!

- Hey!
- What's up with you guys?

Nothin'. Just grabbin' these.

I'm gonna bring them in to... dessert.

- What IS up with you guys?
- Nothing!

Oh, goodness!

I, uh, wanted to say...

a few words tonight about my...

my beautiful wife.

I want you all to know,

in case you didn't already, just

how happy she makes me.

Okay. Save it for the party, honey.

There have been lots of special moments

and celebrations around
this pile of stones,

and tonight, I just
wanted to add one more.

You know you mean the world to me.

First time I saw you,

I knew I wanted to be with
you the rest of my life.

Jessica Cook,

will ya marry me?

Yes, Tim, I will marry you.

Again... 'cause I already did.

- Wow.
- You like it?

Uh... yeah, it's beautiful.

Aw!

Well, I hope ya didn't
mind the grand gesture.

You know, I just wanted people
to be a part of the proposal,

since they missed it in the first place.

I get it.

I ju... I just don't know why

a ring was necessary.

I mean, now I have this crazy
diamond on my finger and...

I never asked for that.

What's wrong with letting
people know we're married?

I'm proud to be married.

Well, I am too, I just didn't
think that we were doing rings.

I mean, we did our bracelets and...

Well, now you have both.

'Kay, so I told you, I
don't want a big fuss,

and you promised that this weekend

was just gonna be a
small, family affair.

- It will.
- 'Kay.

It will.

I promise!

No more grand gestures.

- Mm-kay?
- It is really nice.

I know, right?!

Jessica says the water pressure

in the shower isn't great.

- I came to see what I could do.
- I fixed it already.

Fine, she's gonna love it.

Just, you wasted your trip. Thanks!

Ah, what's wrong with
you? What are you hidin'?

I tried it on.

And all kinds of memories of my wedding

to Marion came flooding back.

I still remember her

coming down the aisle...

with you.

She was so beautiful,

and your face looked
like a thundercloud.

I alternately feared you
and loathed you back then.

Well, the feeling was mutual.

Well, we've come a long way.

For better or for worse.

Mostly for better.

Jack.

You're basically my best friend.

So, I was wondering if you would...

stand up for me;

be my best man.

Wasn't this supposed to
be a little family party?

It is, exactly. It's,
it's... exactly what it is.

I, I was hoping you'd stand up with me.

I'd be honoured.

That's it, Logan.

Yeah, just get him used to
how it feels on his back.

All right.

Here we go, he's doing pretty good.

He doesn't seem phased with
that. We'll try the saddle.

- Okay.
- Are you ready?

Yeah.

Whoa.

Ho... good boy. It's okay.

- Look at you! Good boy!
- Hey.

- Good boy.
- All right, that's all we'll do for right now.

You're a good boy.

Hey, Logan!

Wow, you almost got him saddled.

You're amazing.

Is it true that Tim's giving
him to Jessica as a wedding gift?

Well, it's not a wedding, but...

Come on, Katie told me
Tim proposed last night

and there was a ring and everything.

It's so romantic.

So, are you going to the wedding?

Oh, I'm not really big
into wedding crashing, so.

Guys, this is not a wedding.

And yes, Logan, you're coming.

You have helped me with this horse.

We're giving him to Jessica
and I want you to be there.

I don't wanna butt in.

I mean, isn't it just gonna be family?

Well, I'm going and I'm not family.

All right, if you're going, I'll go.

Okay!

Hey.

I got this...

this thing running
around my head, a melody.

- Does that ever happen to you?
- Oh yeah, I've had that.

Yeah, except this is
a melody I made up...

like, myself.

So...

and I thought, I wondered...

if Jack could take it and
write a song for Jessica and me.

A song?

Well, you could play it at the party.

Like, like you did with Amy
for Ashley and Caleb's wedding.

- Remember that?
- Yeah.

If you've forgotten, that
marriage ended in divorce.

Well, I'm just sayin',
this could be great.

You know, if... if you can do it.

I'm, I could help.

Like I said, I've got a
melody, but I have words.

- Oh.
- So, you'd just expand on, on those.

It sounds like... what
I have sounds like this.

♪ In the long days of summer ♪

♪ We still have each other ♪

You know, it's almost there.

Yeah. Have you shared
this idea with Jessica?

No. She's gonna love it.

Yeah, okay. Listen,

I'm gonna tell you,

as your best man,

I feel I need to share
something with you.

It's not always time for Tim.

This party is not all about you,

and neither is marriage.

Marriage is a compromise;
it's meeting your wife halfway.

I think you need to have
a refresher course on that.

- A song?
- Yeah.

It's bad enough that Dad
wants me to train this horse

for Jessica on his crazy schedule,

and now he wants us to sing a song.

No, first he wants me to write the song,

and then, he wants us to sing it.

Well... I mean, what, does he want us

- to put on a little dance routine, too?
- How do you think I feel?

I'm trying to run a cattle business

with a guy who has the
attention span of a gnat!

- Hey.
- Oh, look who it is.

Right here.

Lyndy and I have a proposition.

You do, do ya? What's that?

Well, we heard that
GG's gonna be a best man,

and there's a ceremony,
now a song, so...

Best man and a ceremony?

So, this is officially a wedding, right?

Well, I've always wanted
to be a bridesmaid,

and Lyndy wants to be...

- A flower girl.
- Ooh!

So, would it be okay?

- Would you guys mind?
- I...

I think it'd be great. Right, Jess?

Yes, of course.

That's very sweet.

Girls, we'll have to pick
out some very nice dresses.

What's your colour scheme, Jess?

Uh, I don't know. Ask Tim.

Hey, where were you? You missed dinner.

Yeah, I know, um,

but I had to work late
and then Peter came by,

so we went and checked
out this cute, new bistro.

- It's so good.
- I hope you know what you're doing.

About what?

Okay. Okay, fine.

The last few days with Peter
have literally been perfect.

Like, I'm, I'm giddy. It's, it's crazy.

It's like we're high school
sweethearts or something.

And I am happy you're
happy, I am, but...

But what?

Just be careful.

I'm goin' to bed. You comin'?

You okay?

No, I'm not.

This whole thing has
gotten out of control.

First, it was diamond rings,

and then it's best men,
and now bridesmaids?

The girls just wanna
dress up, that's all.

Well, of course! And
I'm not gonna say no!

But now this is officially a
wedding, Tim, and I told you,

I told you that that was
exactly what I didn't want.

Well, what's the big deal?

Do you know how many fancy
weddings I have been to in New York?

And almost all of them
have ended up in divorce.

I don't want us to be like that.

Our wedding in Machu Picchu was perfect.

But this?

This, I mean, do you have any idea

how much pressure your crazy
plans are putting on me?

I got carried away. I'll pull back.

No, no. We're not just gonna pull back.

We are calling off this
party, or this wedding,

or whatever it is, completely.

I hate these curtains. I hate them.

Thank you very much.

Great room service, by the way.

Well, as Dude Ranch manager,

I would like to personally apologize

- for my previous oversight.
- Oh really?

- Mm-hmm.
- Hmm, well, apology accepted.

- I guess.
- Oh.

This is so great you were
able to sneak away like this.

Yeah, it is.

You know, we do need to be careful,

at least until we tell the girls.

Tell the girls?

Yeah, about this, about everything,
us getting back together.

They're gonna need to know.

Yeah, but don't you think
it's just a little bit

too soon, though? I mean,

I love this, this little bubble,

you, me, this cabin.

Maybe we should just keep
this to ourselves a bit longer.

Hmm, okay.

I feel like I'm kinda in
a time warp a little bit.

You remember when we
first met and you hid me

from your entire family,
in this very cabin?

You saying you wanna do that again?

No, I'm not saying that. I'm saying...

that I just want this to be
ours for a little bit longer.

Is that so bad?

- Yeah.
- Besides, we can't tell the girls now,

right before the party,

wedding thing, you know, whatever it is.

That would take away from
Tim and Jessica's celebration.

That sounds a little
like an excuse, to me.

Okay, because it is.

Because I wanna keep you to myself...

for as long as I can.

- No, okay, fine, we'll wait.
- Okay.

But this conversation's not over.

No, but it is for now.

- Yeah?
- Mm-hmm.

Jessica, you here?

Yeah, yeah, come on up, Jack!

How's the water pressure in that shower?

Oh, it's good. Yeah, it's fine.

Just checking.

Hey, you got a minute?

We haven't had a chance to talk much,

one-on-one,
you and me.

Yeah, of course. Can I get
ya a cup of coffee or... ?

Nah, I'm good.

Have a seat.

So, how's everything goin'?

It's fine. It's fine.

'Cause I admit I have sensed

a bit of growing reluctance on your part

about this upcoming celebration.

Well, I never figured
Tim for a Bridezilla,

but here we are.

- I'm a little overwhelmed, Jack.
- Yeah, I know.

But I gotta say,

I've never seen Tim so happy,

and that's because of you.

He just wants everyone
else to know, too.

Yes, he has his failings
and his weaknesses, but...

you know, when it matters, he's all in,

and this matters to him a great deal.

See, Tim didn't come from a big family.

He married into this one,

and despite a tonne of...

things,

he's become a very important part of it.

I'm an only child so I don't
have a lot of family either.

My parents split when
I was pretty young so,

I saw first-hand how a
marriage can go south and...

this is all just a
little new to me and...

scary.

Well, the good news
is, you're not alone.

You got the entire
clan in your corner now.

And Tim.

Always.

Thank you, Jack.

- Sure.
- I appreciate it.

You're okay. You
handled that really well.

Good boy.

All right, just like I
was doing, send him around.

- Use this to keep him going.
- Come on. Come.

There we go.

- Okay, step back this way.
- Yep.

- There ya go.
- Go.

- Should we try the next step?
- Sure.

Okay, take the pressure off.
Ho. You gonna be a good boy?

You two ready for this?

Ho.

Whoa. Hey.

Good boy! See?

Good boy.

All right, Logan.

- Okay.
- Good boy!

That's it.

Wow, look at that!

See? This is a much better place to have

- a serious conversation, right?
- Oh, yes.

- Yeah, it's great. No, it's official.
- No distractions.

No, we really do need
to get on the same page.

Right, so if we were
to get back together,

- what would that look like?
- Uh, great?

Pretty great? Really great?

- Peter.
- Amazing?

We need to focus.

- No, I know. I know.
- Just a sec.

Uh, Rick, I told you
to hold all my calls.

No. No, I absolutely
can't see anyone right now.

Excuse me, I just wanted to tell you,

you look really hot
when you do mayor stuff.

Stop it.

No calls 'til I say.

Peter. Oh, stop, stop, stop.

Do you have a second?

Oh! Uh... I, I knocked.

- I'll go!
- No! No, no, no. It's fine.

Yeah, I'll just go
grab some, uh, coffee.

Yeah.

I, uh, I can explain.

I'm, I'm so embarrassed.

No, it's good. It's none of my business.

Okay, so the reason why I'm here is...

I've been thinking that I would
like you to be my maid of honour.

Your maid of honour? What?

- I... I thought this was just gonna be...
- A small thing?

Yeah, no, it's, it's
officially a wedding.

Wow.

Well, I would be honoured
to be your maid of honour.

Thank you.

That means a lot.

And what happens in the mayor's
office stays in the mayor's office.

Thanks, but really, I um...

I just... I, I don't want anyone
else knowing about this yet,

especially Katie.

You're a good mom for putting her first.

Thanks, Lou.

Jess?

- Ah!
- Je... Wh... ?

- Hey!
- Are you okay?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was
just getting in the shower,

I just, you just startled me.

Um...

I'm so sorry about last night.

No.

I'm the one that needs to apologize.

Let me make something clear.

The reason that I've gone so overboard,

with the exception of Lou
and Amy's mother, Marion,

I have never,

ever truly wanted to
wear another wedding band.

And now I really wanna
wear a wedding band.


I can't wait to wear a wedding band.

And I just wanna tell
everybody important to us.

Everybody I love.

I want them to know it,
I want them to see it.

I can't wait to marry you again.

Thank you for telling me that.

- I can't wait either.
- Ah, no!

You can't see the dress
before the day. It's bad luck!

The dress?!

Yeah, I got a dress.
That's what I was doing,

I was trying it on when you came in.

- You bought a dress?
- I did, and you can't see it.

Did you say wedding bands?

I mean it. I think we should
just keep our distance today

and not let on that anything
is going on between us,

at all.

- Not yet.
- Yeah, and I agreed to that.

I don't wanna give anyone
the wrong impression, okay,

and it's a wedding, Peter, you know us.

We'll get carried away.

I can't believe you're doing this.

I don't wanna get
Katie's hopes up, okay?

Not when we don't know what we are yet.

And we have to do
what's best for our kids.

What's best for our kids
is being together. Wh...

What's going on? I'm not
seeing it. You have to...

Okay, sure. Yeah, I'll, I'll...

do my best to pretend I don't know ya.

Hey, Jade.

- It's good to see you.
- You, too!

I'm proud of you.

Thank you.

Hey, Caleb. Thanks for coming.

What's the matter?

He's not here.

- Who's not here?
- My date.

- Your what?
- My date!

Logan. The boy I told you about.

Where is he?

Hi, sweetie.

Jessica,

in you I have met my match.

I promise to surprise you
the way you surprise me,

to amaze you,

to make you laugh.

I love you...

and I love...

how you are a woman

full of dreams,

and ambitions,

and adventures.

I can't wait to spend the
rest of my life beside you...

through it all.

Tim,

you may love me for my dreams
and my adventures, but...

you are my greatest adventure,

and my best dream.

And not only do you push me

and challenge me, but you support me...

and you shelter me.

And I promise to never
stop doing the same for you.

You are my soul mate.

You are my true partner,

and I can't wait to see

where our journey takes us.

I can't wait to see what
our journey together will be.

Thank you.

Thank you, honey.

Good job, sweetheart.

You did it!

- Woo! Beautiful!
- That was a beautiful ceremony!

- Awesome.
- Wonderful vows.

Yes!

Woo! Woo-hoo!

I can see what's going on here, man.

- Oh yeah, you can?
- Yeah, I can. You and Lou.

Dude, just, just go for it.

- Yeah?
- Do you remember

when we babysat the kids that one night?

Uh, Lou was still engaged to Mitch?

Anyway, you told me that
you hoped that I'd never

have to share my kid with another guy.

And now, this is your
chance to have that for you.

You can have it all
back, man, just go get it.

Yeah. Tell Lou. She's the
one with cold feet, man.

I will. I will tell her.

'Kay, go ahead. No, I
mean, wait, wait, wait.

I don't really need you to um...

I'll talk to her.

- Thanks, buddy.
- Anytime.

Okay, everybody, I've got
a surprise for my wife.

Oh, I think I've had all the
surprises that I can handle for a week.

Is that the wild horse from the herd?

It's yours.

That's him!

Isn't he amazing?

He's great. I think he's great.

He's so calm. He's
saddled, how did you do it?

It was Amy.

And Logan.

They're magicians.

Thank you both so much.

Good boy.

It's okay. Good boy.

Thank you.

Well, that was somethin',
huh? Beautiful horse.

Okay, what's wrong?

Wedding, not a funeral.

Come on.

I feel like a stranger.

Obviously, I've been on
the circuit for way too long

and all I have to show
for it are a few buckles.

I'm the only woman
competing against the boys,

- and I'm winning.
- Hmm.

It's just,

it's tough.

None of the guys will talk to me.

It's like I'm operating on the edge.

I'm sorry. Boys can be jerks.

And meanwhile, I'm
realizing I have no life.

You could try doing it with a baby.

Don't get me wrong, having a kid,

it is the most wonderful
thing in the entire world.

Cass and I,

pretty much all we do
is spell each other off.

I mean, when she's working, I'm on duty,

and on top of that, I've
been running the rodeo school

for the last six months
while Tim has been...

But... guy's in love.

Yeah, no, it seems like everyone is.

Except me.

Hi. Jade, right?

Do you, uh, do you wanna dance?

That's really sweet,

but do you see my sister over there?

Do you think you could dance with her?

All right, let's you and I dance.

Just until the right
partner comes along.

And you know what? He will.

Look around you for a
minute. See all this?

This is your clan.

You have a lot more to show
than just a few buckles.

Well, it's actually a lot of buckles.

- It's a lot of buckles.
- It's many buckles.

It's a very lot of buckles.
Should we do the dip?

Whoa!

- Would you like to dance?
- Oh, Peter,

- I don't think we sh...
- No more words. Let's...

let's just dance.

Okay.

Oh!

You know we're not gonna
solve this tonight, right?

Yes, I know that.

You happy?

So happy it's scary.

Kinda bummed we didn't
book a honeymoon now.

Think I actually would've
forgot about that?

Jack was right.

When it matters, you
are all in, Tim Fleming.

You bet! You bet.

So, who knew that Tim
was the sentimental type?

But he asked me to write
a song for the occasion.

Oh, come on, I helped!

Oh yeah, you were a big help.

Here we go.

I wrote that part.

That was sweet.

- Bravo!
- That was great!

Way to go, Amy!

I looked for you last night.

Why did you leave early?

Oh, you know, I figured
I'd let the family

have some fun on their own.

You know I couldn't
have gentled this guy

in that amount of time by myself, right?

Now it's done, so...

guess I am, too.

What do you mean you're done?

Look at this guy.

Lovin' his new family,

his new home.

He belongs.

Logan. Hey...

you belong, too.

You really think I'm just gonna let

a great horse trainer walk away?

Well, I mean, if
you're smart, you won't.

Well, I say we get this
guy back to Heartland,

get him settled into his new home.

You wanna ride him
there? I'll take Shadow.

Really?

You think he'll let me?

I'd bet on it.

Well, you know, you always get the first

and the last word, and usually
the ones in the middle, too,

- so, I'm gonna start, okay?
- Okay.

I think you know how I feel.

I've never stopped loving you.

Ever.

From the moment I proposed to you

right here, on this very dock, to now,

all the time I've spent
with you and the kids

has meant more to me than
anything else in my entire life.

And I want us to get
back together. I mean,

I hope I made that pretty clear.

You know, when you called me

all those months ago,

I felt like my whole world imploded.

Do you know how long I'd been
waiting to hear you say those things?

So long, that I'd given up.

Though, every time I saw you,

or heard your voice,

these crazy emotions would
come welling up inside of me.

And then you called.

And I'm so glad you did,

because I couldn't deny
these feelings anymore.

But if we do this, it
has to be for keeps.

This isn't just about us anymore.

I mean, we can't risk hurting the girls,

making frivolous choices, right?

But what about us getting
back together seems frivolous?

I just mean we have to be certain.

Okay, yeah. Are... are you not certain?

I just have to make sure

it's the right choice
for everyone, not just me;

that I'm not just being selfish.

Okay, um...

well, I just need you to know

that I am a hundred percent certain

that this is the right
choice for everyone involved.

Because we've been through that, right?

We're not gonna make
the same mistakes twice.

I know this is gonna work.

I'm, I'm just not sure that you do, yet.

I don't.

I'm sorry.

Okay. Uh...

when you're ready,

- you just let me know...
- Mm-hmm.

And I'll be with you in a heartbeat.

Okay.

Okay. It's okay. Come here.

I'm sorry.
