Previously on Heartland.

I appreciate the enthusiasm,

Caleb.

Does that mean that you'll

let us take over your school?

- Yeah, sure, you earned it.

- I did? Woo!

Was that Finn Cotter's truck

I saw driving out of here?

He's moving back to Kindersley.

He just came to say goodbye.

About your rodeo school,

I'd like to help out

once in a while

on a volunteer basis if I could.

Well, that actually might be

a deal I don't lose money on.

Any time, Sam.

There's something going on

between you and Finn Cotter.

I don't know if there's

a possibility of something, but

- I I kind of hope there is.

- You put

too much hope

in people changing, Amy.

It's a recipe for getting hurt!

I won't see you hurt!

No, you're the one who's doing

the hurting here, Grandpa.

Stand. That's enough, Lexi.

Ho Stand.

Hey, easy now. Come on.

Ho. Hey, hey, hey.

So, you need to be firm.

Let her know that you're not

gonna mount up until she's

standing still.

Sometimes, this takes

a bit of patience.

All right, come on.

Hup.

There. You can see

she's less spooky

every time I do this.

Good girl.

Let's try this again, okay?

- Good girl.

- Wow.

Good girl.

Wow.

Wow.

Thanks for fixing

Lexi's spinning.

I'm so glad I don't have to use

that other technique

- to mount up anymore.

- What other technique?

Get her in the corner of a pen

then quickly step up

onto a saddle

before she starts spinning.

Well, that doesn't work.

Not only that,

but it's dangerous.

Yeah. I learned that

the hard way.

Who told you to do that?

- The other Miracle Girl.

- Other Miracle Girl?

She has a website

and does house calls.

I reached out to her

because I thought she was you.

I'm glad I got the right

Miracle Girl this time.

Haha!

Hey, girls. You're hiding out

from your mother in here?

You know how she is

with screen time.

Yeah. Let me see that.

We're not watching

anything inappropriate.

No, no, I know. I just

I need to look something up.

Apparently, there's

this horse trainer

who calls herself

the Miracle Girl.

But you're

the Miracle Girl.

This must be her site.

Is that you?

No, but she kind of looks

Exactly like you.

— Subtitle formatting by Alice —

- So, uh we're rolling here?

- Yeah.

We're-we're

just checking stuff.

Okay, eh, uh, get busy.

Like, coach something,

- someone.

- Okay.

- All right.

- We're good to go.

- Yeah.

- So I, uh

I thought we would, uh,

begin with you

just giving us

a little bit of a rundown

-of what–

- No, it's okay, it's all right.

Listen, I already prepared

my answers, so tchk.

But, uh, you don't know

- what I'm gonna ask.

- Well, I'm real busy,

let's just

let's just do this.

Okay, uh

What can you expect

to see here tomorrow?

Uh, well,

I guess you could call it

an extravaganza

of young talent,

kind of a showcase

of all of our young riders

and and everything

that they do here

at the rodeo school.

And what exactly

are we–

Why now? Good question.

Um, well, recently,

I got into the barrel racing

business, so I'm hoping

that maybe we can attract

and inspire some new riders

and show them

the top-notch level

of coaching that we have

available here.

So

Sorry? The culmination of

my life's work? That's another

good question. I I've never

thought about that. I guess

you could say,

yeah, I think so.

I mean, I'm very proud

of everything

that I built here.

And I think

that the best is yet to come.

We're really starting

to hit our stride.

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Easy! Easy!

- Easy!

- Sam, just let

- Oh!

- Let go of the rope, Sam.

You-you you can

you can cut that, right?

That's it.

Hi, GG.

- Amy has an impostor.

- What?

This horse trainer is totally

pretending to be Amy.

Well, she didn't

actually claim to be me.

But she calls herself

the Miracle Girl

and look at all these pictures.

Wow!

- She really looks like you.

- Yeah.

And check this out.

Lyndy, get back in the truck!

I thought Paula got

that video taken down.

It's the Internet, you can

never really take anything down.

What's the point

in all of this?

Seems like she's trying

to trick clients who are looking

for Amy. I mean,

if you search up Amy Fleming,

this website is

the second link that pops up.

This is misrepresentation.

And a few people have posted

really bad reviews

- about Amy.

- She's damaging your brand.

And she could also be

damaging horses

if she doesn't know

what she's doing.

Yeah, Grampa's right.

There was this woman

at my clinic, and she got

thrown from her horse because

of this trainer's bad advice.

Well, there's no address

on here,

but you can message

to set up a home visit.

we're suing you.

- She's not gonna reply to that.

- Well, we have to make contact,

Amy, we need to shut

this down right away.

Why don't we make up

a horse problem.

Good idea. What's a horse

issue she couldn't resist?

I don't know,

maybe something

with a Gypsy Vanner.

- Ooh, good one.

- Yeah.

Gimme that.

Yeah,

I like to stay positive

for my students,

keep their spirits up even

when they're down in the dirt.

Whoopsie!

Ugh!

Keep it up!

- Nice ride, you're getting there.

- So when did that bronc–

What? That that bronc?

His name is Hagler.

Yeah, he's been

with us for a while. He, uh,

he's got a special role

to play tomorrow

in the showcase, so

I wanna give the students

a little surprise, prove to them

that you're never

too old to rodeo.

All right.

I'll let the cat out of the bag.

I'm gonna unretire my chaps

and ride that guy myself.

Tomorrow.

You got a death wish?

You haven't ridden

a bronc in years.

Caleb, it's a big deal.

I mean more students,

more sponsorships.

We gotta put on

an amazing show.

I don't really want to

see my husband

- in a spectacular wreck, thanks.

- Oh, Hagler's a crow hopper.

It'll be like watching

Wayne Gretsky go

for a public skate.

Or Barry Bonds take

batting practice.

You know, it's just for show.

It's all good, I promise.

Wow!

Someone has a high opinion

of their rodeo legacy, huh?

I got some errands to run;

can you, uh, tend the horses,

groom the field

for tomorrow?

Aye, aye, Captain.

Seems like Tim's

rubbing off on you.

I got a lot going on

here and at home.

Just do it.

Yeah, you got it.

Not loving

the stressed out Caleb, though.

Oh, my gosh, Parker, this is

so cool. We have to do this.

I think you girls have had

enough screen time

for today.

- Are your parents like this too?

- Doesn't matter.

They're out of town,

so my rules go for both of you.

Well, we weren't

on TikTok or Instagram.

There's this online

short story contest,

- and its theme is hauntings.

- Are you gonna enter?

And plant a week's

worth of nightmares

in my subconscious?

No thank you.

I'm totally gonna write one. You're

supposed to set it in your hometown.

Fine.

Hey. Maybe it's

fake Miracle Girl.

- It is. It's her.

- What did she say?

She's interested

in helping us.

- But she wants our address.

- Oh no, no, no.

Uh, there's no way

she's coming here.

Um, tell her we're on the road

and we'll go to her.

Lou, I don't like

all this lying.

Amy, she has a video of your

daughter on her website. It's creepy.

And we're just fibbing a little

to snuff out a complete fraud.

"Don't usually give out my

address, but I've always wanted

- to work with a Gypsy Vanner.

- Ha!

She lives in Glidden,

somewhere in Saskatchewan.

Glidden. Okay.

If we leave now,

we can be there by 3.

- What, this afternoon?

- Yeah. Amy,

I have a free day,

there is nothing left

to clean in this house, and

we need to confront her ASAP.

- Lou, we'll get back really late.

- So we'll stay the night.

- If that's okay with you girls.

- I don't mind.

What about Lyndy? I'm not

gonna impose.

Parker and

I can look after her.

GG just has

to supervise.

Yeah, I'm fine with that.

It is your dad's

big showcase tomorrow.

Right. We will come back

first thing.

Amy, we need to deal with this

before any more horses

or people get hurt.

All right.

- Tell her we're on our way.

- Yes.

Oh!

Thanks, girls.

Hey, Kitty-cat, it's Dad.

Do me a favour,

tell Mom to come

to the dude ranch, okay?

Tell her it's an emergency,

like there's

a guest complaint or something.

'Cause I'm here right now,

I'm gonna surprise her.

Glidden in Saskatchewan?

What? No, no, no, it's okay.

I'll call her. Okay, sweetie.

Can you put that on speaker?

Yep.

Hey, babe, I'm just

on the road with Amy.

- Hi, Peter.

- Hi.

What's what's going on?

Katie said something

about an impostor or something.

Yeah, it's a long story,

but we're gonna shut her down.

- How are you?

- Uh, I'm good.

I'm actually at the dude ranch

right now.

- Haha!

- What?

Yeah. Um,

I was, uh

I was gonna surprise you

with a romantic date

night I booked

the cabin under a fake name,

I told Rick to

cancel all your appointments

and

Peter, that is so sweet!

- Okay, we should go back.

- No, no, no, don't do that.

Don't be crazy. This sounds serious.

Go and deal with that.

It's fine. I'll spend some

time with Katie, it'll be great.

Hmm

Parker is

staying over with her tonight.

Okay. Uh, so scrap

the one-on-one time

with Katie then.

- I'm sorry.

- No. It's it's fine.

Uh, you and I can spend the day

here together tomorrow, right?

- Yes, for sure.

- No.

- Lou.

- Oh, sh**t.

It's my dad's showcase tomorrow.

Or we'll go to a rodeo.

I'm gonna make this

up to you,

I promise. I love you.

Okay, no problem.

Love you too.

Bye, Peter.

Bye.

Hey, man!

- Hey, man.

- What are you

- doing here?

- Well, solo vacationing

it looks like. Haha! You?

Uh, apartment

is being painted; Lou said

- we could spend the night.

- Okay. No Cass?

Oh, she's with her mom

and dad. So yeah, it's just, uh,

me and Carson that needed

to escape the fumes

- tonight. Hey, buddy?

- Yeah.

So we got boys' night, yeah?

Give me a high-five.

Yeah!

All right,

you go explore.

This should be fun.

I feel so bad.

He came all the way out to surprise me,

and I wasn't even there.

Well, we can

go back, you know.

No. We're doing this.

- Who are you texting with?

- No one.

Which means totally someone.

- Why are you being so secretive?

- Oh, because I don't need

any more family judgments

and opinion.

- You're talking about Grandpa?

- Did he say something?

No, but I can feel

a chill in the air

every time you two

are in the same room.

- What's going on?

- Grandpa has issues with Finn Cotter.

- Al Cotter's grandson?

- Mm-hmm.

Is that who you're texting with?

-Amy, are you two–

- No.

Lou, nothing is going on.

Uh-huh?

Nothing at all.

Haha! Ah

Tim?

Tim? Is that you?

Okay, I think

this is it up here.

Oh, yeah.

6205 right here.

Go left.

- Okay, you ready?

- Yeah.

Okay. Let me do

the talking.

Well, I'm the one

she's pretending to be.

Yeah, exactly.

You must feel so violated.

I can do this

with a cooler head.

Oh, my God,

it's you!

- Um, I'm–

- Amy Fleming, I know.

And you're her sister, Lou.

I'm Jolene.

What are you doing here?

Uh, we saw your website, okay?

We know what you're up to.

- I don't understand.

- Oh, come on.

Calling yourself the

Miracle Girl, so people think

you're Amy?

All those photos

on your site look

exactly like her.

You even have a link

to that video of my daughter.

If you don't shut down your website, we're

gonna be forced to take legal action.

I never claimed

to be Amy.

I post a lot

of inspirational

horse videos, and I can call

myself whatever I want.

Nobody owns the rights

to the name Miracle Girl.

It's misleading, okay?

People are bringing you

their horses

because they think you're Amy,

and then they're

leaving her bad reviews.

That's enough.

I'd like you to leave now.

Not until you agree to stop

lying about who you are.

I'm not the one here

under false pretenses.

I'm sorry, but if you don't

leave right now,

I'm gonna have to press

charges for trespassing.

Come on.

We'll be back.

What if I set it

at Maggie's?

Um, kitchen staff

are going missing

'cause there's

a a demon snake

- living in the drainpipes.

- I might read that.

Which means

it's not scary enough.

Why is this so hard?

Dad, can you think

of something terrifying?

What about the wrath

that impostor's gonna feel

when your mother

gets to Glidden?

Well, you put gas

in a diesel tractor, bud.

Well, then who else

could it have been?

What do you mean,

they're all over

Okay, just-just hang tight,

I'll be there

as soon as I can.

Got crazy stuff happening

at the rodeo grounds.

Tractor's broke down, toilets in

the washrooms are overflowing.

- Oh, maybe there's ghosts out there.

- What?

No, it's not a ghost.

Listen, I gotta get down there

and get things back on track

for the showcase.

You think you could watch

Carson for a little while?

- Oh, um.

- Thanks, man,

- I really appreciate it.

- Okay. I mean, sure.

Haha!

At least, I got you girls

to help, right?

Ghosts at the rodeo,

that's it!

Come on, Parker, let's go

inside. I need to bounce

my ideas off you

to Gauge the fear factor.

Seriously?

- Thanks for the idea, Dad!

- Anytime, sweetheart.

- Oh, hey.

- Tag, you're it!

- Tag, you're it!

- Oh Hahaha!

Okay.

- Yikes.

- Oh!

Maybe we should

drive back tonight.

- No, I like it.

- Prff!

Come on, Lou. Oh, there's even

one those little things

that give you a massage

for a quarter.

Charming.

Hey, you were the one

that wanted to stay,

so that we could give her

that cease and desist letter.

Can you believe

that this place couldn't print

an e-mail from my lawyer?

They had to send a fax.

You know, maybe we don't

even need the letter.

Maybe I should go back

on my own

and try playing good cop.

Oh, so I'm the bad cop

in this scenario?

Well, you did come off

a little hot.

- I was protecting you.

- I know, I know,

and I appreciate that,

but maybe I should just

try one-on-one.

And I stay here

cooped up in 1976?

- Mm-hmm.

- Pff!

You know, Jolene,

she wants to be me

- which is really weird.

- Yep.

But maybe I can show her

that she's acting

in a way that is so not me.

And come on, why don't you

just relax a little.

- I'll go give this a sh*t.

- Okay, but at least,

take the letter

in case your plan doesn't work.

Fine.

And you can enjoy

- a very luxurious massage on me.

- Haha! No.

Really.

Wow! That was

extremely disappointing. Haha!

- Okay, good luck.

- Thanks.

Hoo! Hoo! Oh my God!

Oh my God! Hoo!

- We got a problem.

- Yeah, I can see that.

- How did they all get out of the pen?

- I have no idea. I went in

to deal with the plumber;

when I came back out, they were

- all over the grounds.

- Okay, okay. Um,

we have to deal

with this before–

Hey, what?!

What the hell is going on here?

We gotta round

them up. Fast!

Tch, tch, tch!

Psst. Come on. Psst, psst.

Come on!

Come on!

Come on! Come on!

Hup!

Hey, come on!

Hup! Hup! Yeah!

All right, that's all of 'em.

No, it's not.

Where's Hagler?

I got an interview

in a half an hour

with a radio station.

Damnit!

Oh, go, we'll find him.

No. That's the horse

I'm riding tomorrow.

Let's split up and search

every inch of this place.

Okay.

No need to call the authorities,

I left my sister at the motel.

- She was a bit much.

- I thought it might go better

if we just chat

one-on-one,

trainer to trainer.

So, what's the deal

with this guy?

His name is Blaze.

Just started working with him.

Lots of spirit.

His owner is hoping

I can turn him into a jumper.

- Does he seem to have potential?

- Oh, yeah.

He's a gamer.

We've been doing

some groundwork,

but he's chomping at the bit

to try the jumps,

literally.

Yeah, I've worked

with horses like that.

But you know, sometimes

I have to remind myself

that it's me who decides

what comes next, not the horse.

Yeah.

But you want to make sure

the horse feels

they're being heard, that we're

reading their signals.

True, but sometimes

we can misread

their signals.

Like, with Lexi.

Her owner brought her

to me to

fix the spinning issue.

I could get up on her

just fine.

That was obviously

a rider issue.

You're not the only one

who can connect with a horse.

No, not that fast.

Whoa! Whoa!

- Whoa, whoa!

- Slow down. Slow

Oh! Oh!

- Oh!

- Hey, you okay?

I'm fine!

I could swear

he wanted to jump.

Well, your instincts

aren't completely wrong.

He definitely has

a competitive edge.

I have a hunch.

Come on.

Was Blaze his name

when his new owner bought him?

- I think so.

- Sounds like

a pretty good name

for a racehorse, doesn't it?

You think he's

from the track?

Only one way

to be sure, I guess.

Every horse from the track has

- one of these tattoos.

- I know.

I just didn't think

to look for that.

It's okay. I mean, you're

still new at this, right?

No. I've been working

with horses my whole life.

Probably just needs

a different bit.

Jolene?

What are you doing in here?

Um I-I was just

For the second time,

please get off my property.

Not until I give you this.

What is it?

It's a cease

and desist letter.

If you don't take down

that website,

we will press charges

for identity theft.

You'd do that to me?

I have to stop

this somehow.

You're not who you're

pretending to be,

and you're hurting

horses and their riders.

Fine. I'll take it down.

I didn't want to hurt anybody.

I was just trying

to be like you.

- You found him.

- Yeah,

I found him, Caleb,

but I missed my interview.

sh**t. Well,

at least we got the news story

on TV tonight.

Caleb, we gotta get

as many people here

as possible, the more publicity,

the better, so I'm

gonna have to go into town

and start spreading the word.

You and Sam make sure

nothing else goes wrong today.

Okay.

What's all this?

Well, the kids want

to roast marshmallows and

and then camp out tonight.

- Carson is sure excited about it.

- Okay! Hang on!

That's great, uh

- Thanks for watching him.

- Yeah, no problem.

I got nothing else on my plate.

Lou's off in Glidden, so

Well, at least

she's coming back.

What did that mean?

Cass is leaving me.

She wants a divorce.

- Daddy!

- Coming, buddy!

Honey, you barely touched

your sandwich.

- Not hungry.

- That's a first. Haha!

- Been a bit of a rough day.

- That's an understatement.

It was a gong show.

Anything that could go wrong

went wrong; it doesn't

bode well for tomorrow.

Tomorrow is gonna be

amazing. I'm gonna take

a bunch of great pictures,

you're gonna use 'em

to promote the school.

- I just got a bad feeling.

- Maybe that's about you

getting on a bronc

at your age.

Says Father Time.

Tim, hear me out and don't

let this go to your head,

but you've done

a good job at that school,

you made a real difference

in those kids' lives.

And that's gonna

come across without you

trying to relive

your glory days.

It's gonna

be okay, Jack.

I handpicked a bronc

that we use for beginners.

It's all gonna be good.

We just have to put on

a great show for the fans.

Would be nice if you helped

set up my saddle

- and turn him out for me.

- Haha! I think you're nuts.

I just hope

people show up,

I mean, and that

the kids perform.

We just can't look

like hacks.

Okay, what's

with all this doubt?

You always say to me,

"Just put your fears aside

and go for it." So take your own

advice, take your own advice.

I have so much invested

in this expansion.

I mean, if this showcase

doesn't go well,

I'm driving down a road

that heads straight off

a cliff.

Tim, your showcase

is gonna be great.

It's gonna be great.

I think maybe I should go back

and see Jolene tomorrow.

What? Why?

You got through to her.

I know, but she just seemed

really upset.

- Gin.

- Aww!

Ah, you win.

Another game?

No. I'm ready for bed.

- How's the texting going?

- Lou

Come on, Amy,

give me the goods.

I said I don't want

to talk about it.

I already have to deal

with Grandpa in all this.

What is Grandpa's problem

with Finn anyway?

He just thinks that he's

like his grandfather.

In what way?

He just says

you can't trust a Cotter.

- Weird.

- Oh, doesn't matter

anyway. Finn's gone back home.

But you miss him?

Yeah.

Before he left, we

we kind of shared a moment.

What kind of moment?

It's no big deal.

Did you kiss?

Hey, um, I'm sorry.

I I didn't mean to press.

You really like this guy?

I do, but

Hey, you shouldn't

feel guilty.

But I do.

You know, every time

I feel those butterflies

or I feel any kind

of connection, I–

Amy, it's normal.

You probably haven't had

feelings like this since Ty.

Well, it doesn't

matter anyway.

Finn had family obligations

back in Kindersley, so

Wait a minute, Kindersley?

Isn't that only

a couple of towns

away from here?

He's the one you should go see

before we go back.

I have to admit the thought

has crossed my mind.

But what would I

even say to him?

What you just said to me.

Just be honest.

Hey, if you don't

put yourself out there,

you'll never know

what might have been.

That is the last

marshmallow, you guys.

You guys ready

to hear my story?

- Yeah!

- I guess.

- Let's go to the tent.

- I call the pouf!

So, ahem, uh

sorry about dropping that b*mb

on you guys earlier.

It's, uh it's just

You okay?

No. No, I'm not.

Our marriage has been

on the rocks for a while, but

We just been so busy

in our own worlds,

and everything at home

obviously revolves

around Carson and

I guess we just grew apart.

- We're like roommates.

- Well, maybe it's just

you know, a rough patch.

No. She's done.

I tried,

and we're here

'cause she's actually packing up

and moving out tomorrow.

Well, I'm sorry, Caleb.

Yeah, me too.

Ending a marriage is tough

under any circumstances, so

You know, the hardest part

about this is just

what it's gonna do to Carson.

I really don't understand

how Cass can

just rip our family apart

like this. I want to make sure

that Carson does understand

that I had absolutely nothing

to do with this decision.

You know, Caleb,

you're given me some

some pretty good advice

in the past.

I mean, you were the one

who told me to put my heart back

- out there with Lou.

- Yeah.

Don't blame Cass,

not in front

of Carson.

She's his mom,

and she will always be his mom.

And if you run her down in front

of him, it's only gonna hurt

your son. And even if you're not

a a couple anymore,

you can still be

a nice, tight parenting unit.

I think I really need a drink.

Well, I do happen to have

a bottle of champagne.

Tonight, that would be

just fine.

- Yeah.

- Haha!

Why not?

"Under the light of the Moon,

she crawls closer

"and closer towards

the closed chute.

"She listens

for hooves pounding,

"the snorts and grunts

from behind the gate,

"but she hears nothing.

"Nothing except

the still silence of the night.

"But she's sure this must be

"where the zombie bronc

is hiding, it has to be.

"When she finally gets there,

she summons

"all of her strength

and pulls herself up

"onto her feet, ready to face

"whatever it is

on the other side

"of the gate. Her hand

"quivers over the latch.

She takes a deep breath

and pulls the gate open."

Woo!

The zombie bronc is here!

A zombie bronc is here!

What's happening,

buddy?

- We heard a loud bang.

- Did you?

Aha!

- You okay?

- It's ghost stories.

What do you want now?

You won, you got

what you wanted.

I didn't like

how we left things.

Can you just leave me alone?

I'm working with Blaze.

- I know I can still train him to be a jumper.

- You might be right.

Really?

I have an idea.

I'd like to give it a try

if you'll let me.

Hey.

Good boy.

Well, he's reacting really well

to my prompts.

He's starting to learn

how to control his speed.

Good boy.

You wanna

give it a try?

- I guess, yeah. Sure.

- Okay, just stay

relaxed, all right?

Sit deep.

All right.

Now, just get him

into a nice trot.

That's it.

Now remember, you're in control.

Ask him to walk again.

There you go.

It doesn't have to be a race.

You know, we just need

to take it back

to the basics.

That's good. Okay now, stop him.

That's it.

Now, go forward again.

Trot a little bit.

There you go.

That's good.

There you go. Good!

Ho.

I was in complete control.

It's a pretty great feeling,

isn't it?

Stay away from

the jumps for now.

Just let Blaze find

his own confidence

and work on his patience

and discipline.

You must think I'm nuts.

All the pictures in the barn

and the website and everything.

But I love horses,

and I've always felt like

working with them is my purpose.

So when I saw that video of you,

I'm serious, Amy,

the way you are with horses,

you're everything I want to be.

I'm flattered,

I I really am,

but just like Blaze, you have

to take this one step at a time.

You you have

to build yourself

as a trainer and create

your own identity;

otherwise, horses and people

are gonna continue

to get hurt,

and I can tell

- that's not what you want.

- Of course not.

I'm sorry for using

the name Miracle Girl.

Already taken

the website down

and all the pictures

in the barn.

Are you gonna do this or what?

We should probably just

get on the road. I mean,

I don't want to be late

for Dad's showcase.

Mm-hmm. Nice try.

We have plenty of time.

Did you tell him

you were coming?

No, in case

I changed my mind.

Right.

Well, we're already

here, so

Fine.

Be right here.

Take your time.

Hey. Um, I'm sorry,

I must have the wrong address.

Oh, it's a small town.

Who are you looking for?

Um, Finn Cotter?

Oh. Then you have

the right place.

Finn, hon?

Um, looks like

his truck's gone,

so he's probably out

on a client call.

Did you want

to leave a message?

No, it's it's okay. Thanks.

Welcome, everyone,

to the All 'Round

Rodeo School Showcase!

Hey, Grandpa.

You're back. How was Glidden?

Well, I think you'll be happy

with how it all turned out.

We'll catch up

with you in a minute.

Yeah.

Amy, you can't keep

doing this, okay?

- There's gotta be an explanation.

- Lou–

No. I know you don't want

to talk about it, but–

Whoever she was,

Finn never mentioned her.

That's why you need to call

him and ask him who she is

- straight up. Just call him.

- No.

- I'm done talking about this.

- Amy, just

- Lou!

- Hey, honey.

Hey, hey. Hey, Amy.

Hey. Thank you

for looking after Lyndy.

Yeah, no problem. I, uh

What's going on with her?

Is she okay?

No. There's this guy,

but he's not

- who she thought he was.

- Ah

Woo!

Woo!

Let's give it up for one

of our young aspiring stars,

huh?

Wow!

Now listen up.

If any of you young ladies

or young men

think that barrel racing is

something that you might want

to try, we're gonna offer you

a free session.

Okay. Next up, our bronc riders

are gonna strut their stuff.

But first,

we're gonna give you all

something that these kids aspire to.

We're gonna give you

a classic bronc ride

from their coach.

Yours truly, Tim Fleming.

- Only Dad.

- Let's go, Tim!

Honey, your grandpa's about

to ride a bronc

for the first time in decades;

can you please put that away?

You need to check out

the impostor's website.

What? I thought

she took it down.

Well, she did remove

all the pictures

- and the link to our video.

- And she's

not calling herself

the Miracle Girl anymore.

Let me see this.

Oh, what's this?

Hi, I'm Jolene.

Looks like she's taking it

back to the basics.

She's going down

her own path.

Hi.

Good.

- You got it?

- Yeah.

Let's go! Let's go, boy!

- Are you sure about this?

- Yeah. Yeah.

Kids are doing great.

Here we go.

- Hoho! Wow.

- Easy in, Sam. Easy in.

Hoho!

Oh! Oh! Whoa! Whoa!

Oh! Oh!

- Get out of there now!

- No, something's wrong!

It's not good, Tim!

Get out of there!

Oh! Yep! Yeah!

No!

Let's go.

No!

Jack! Jack! Open the gate!

Open the gate!

Open the gate! Open the gate!

Jack!

Jack!

Jack? Jack, talk to me, come on.

Jack, you okay?

Come on, Jack. Jack?

That bronc just went crazy,

what happened?

I don't know.

Hagler's never done

anything like that before.

I found something weird. There

was a bag of rocks in the chute.

That's why he went crazy.

Someone must have put that

- under his saddle.

- Why would someone do that?

- We're headed to Foothills ER.

- Yeah. I'm-I'm going with them.

- Okay. Let's go, let's go.

- Tim, you need to see this.

Take these. I'll meet you

at the truck.

Mike!
