Heartland (CA) s19e07 Episode Script
Fall Down, Get Back Up
1
- Previously on Heartland
- There's something I need
to tell tell you
about our halftime show.
- We're revealing our new sponsor.
- (DEX) Jack! Jack!
What?!
Sorry, dude.
I didn't mean to scare you.
I said your name, like, three times.
You nearly killed my horse!
You know, I think people
need to hear about this
because next time,
the horse may not be so lucky.
(JACK) I brought you into my world
and you made a joke of it.
Now get off my ranch.
I don't need to see you back here.
I think maybe Gracie
had something to do
with the colic outbreak.
Putting horses' lives in danger?
That doesn't make any sense.
(GENTLE MUSIC)
- Hey.
- Hi, Amy.
- Hi.
- (ALL CHUCKLING)
Oh, wow.
- That is a really big horse.
- (WOMEN LAUGH)
Nathan mentioned that you might be
a little bit afraid.
You don't have to do this, Parm.
Yes, I do.
Riding up to the wedding venue
on a white horse is tradition.
Amy, after we got engaged,
my grandmother mentioned
a traditional baraat
and I said how much I loved the idea,
but that was before I knew
you didn't like horses.
Well, it's more that
they don't like me.
You could ride in on a unicycle, Parm,
and I wouldn't care, OK?
Just as long as I get to marry you.
A unicycle, huh?
Well, maybe I should have
a big red nose,
some floppy shoes
(COUPLE LAUGHING)
You'll have to excuse me
for just a minute.
- I'll be right back.
- OK.
(TENSE MUSIC)
Sorry to drop in like this.
Nobody was at the house.
I'm actually
in the middle of something.
It won't take long.
I, um
I need to show you something.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
(LAUGHING)
- Thank you.
- Thanks.
OK. You should invite
your whole flag girl team
over to the ranch this weekend.
We'll have a big barbeque
and celebrate your performance
at the rodeo.
- Sounds like a great idea.
- Sounds fun.
And just so you know,
I'm around all weekend
so if you need any help,
you let me know.
- Awesome. Thanks, Lise.
- OK. I'm gonna head out.
I've got to pick up a shirt
at the dry cleaners.
Did you hear me, Jack?
- Yeah.
- I'm going to
the dry cleaners to get a shirt.
No, I don't want dessert.
(LISA) Mm
OK.
I've got some errands to run.
- I'll see y'all later.
- OK.
Polaris had an abscessed tooth.
We just discovered it yesterday.
Are you here to blame
me for that, too?
No. No.
He had the abscess
long before I dropped him off.
Possibly for several weeks.
An infected tooth
could explain the colic.
My vet said the exact same thing.
It seems I
owe you an apology.

You dreamer ♪
I was thinking,
before we get to the riding,
you two should just
get to know each other.
(PARM SIGHS)
My parents sent me to
a camp when I was a kid.
They put me on a horse named Pal,
but he wasn't much of a pal
because he bucked me off.
And I've avoided horses ever since.
Well, I promise you
that Powder is a sweetheart.
OK?
(POWDER SNORTS SOFTLY)
Go ahead.
Just like this?
Yeah.
It's OK. Good boy.
Yeah, that's it.
Once you relax, he will, too.
So, uh, how do you know Nathan?
Shop class.
We spent all of high school
trying to restore
a 1962 Ford Ranchero.
Finally got it working
the day before graduation.
It lasted all of an hour
before the head gasket blew.
Oh, no.
Well, I think it's pretty cool
that you two stayed in touch.
Oh, yeah.
Well, we got married
around the same time,
divorced within a few years
of each other.
We both swore off
relationships after that,
not to mention marriage.
So what what made
you change your mind?
Mina. She's smart and funny,
and I don't know if you've noticed,
- but she's a total goddess.
- (AMY CHUCKLES)
Not only am I getting married again,
but I'm moving all the way to
Vancouver just to be with her,
and I'm learning how to ride a horse.
I know Mina said that the horse part
of the baraat isn't
a big deal, but
tradition is important to her.
And this is
my wedding gift to Mina.
I just hope I don't mess it up.
(GENTLE MUSIC)
(WOMAN SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)
(SNORING)
- (THUD)
- Ah!
Hey, Jack!
Living in your car now?
Well, I'd been
couch surfing at a friend's,
but I overstayed my welcome.
I thought your parents lived here.
They moved to the West Coast.
Well, you might want to come up with
a better life plan than couch surfing.
I do have a plan.
I was serious when I said
I want to be a bull rider.
I'm going to find a coach
and start training.
If I were you, I'd head for the coast
and move back in with your folks.
Well, I was thinking,
maybe I could spend a night
or two in your barn loft,
just until I get things figured out.
No, sir.
You broke my trust.
That is not something
I can just forget.
(TENSE MUSIC)
Well, I'm not leaving!
I've got plenty of
friends I can stay with.
Hey, Dad!
Hey, Kitty Kat!
Hi.
Ooh, I picked a good
weekend for this, hey?
- The barbeque's gonna be awesome.
- Mm-hmm!
Yeah, um, about that,
please don't freak out,
but it turns out
Gracie Pryce is throwing a barbeque
for the team tomorrow.
I don't I don't understand.
It was super last minute,
and we couldn't say no.
I mean, Pryce Beef is our sponsor.
OK, but did she invite
the team before or after
she found out I was gonna host?
Mom, please don't make
a big deal out of this.
Hey, I, uh, I can take Katie.
You can sit this one out if you want.
Uh, no! Let's all go,
and I'll even bring dessert.
OK.
(CELL PHONE RINGING)
- Hey, stranger.
- (NATHAN) Hey.
Did you get Parm up on a horse?
Um, not yet.
We're taking it slow,
but I plan to this afternoon.
Really appreciate you helping 'em out.
Yeah. No worries.
It'll actually be fun
to have another wedding
at the dude ranch.
So how is
the competition life going?
It's OK. I'm a little bit rusty.
- I miss you.
- I miss you, too.
I just
I can't stop thinking
about how we left things off.
I know.
I'm going to have a chat
with Gracie when I get back.
Oh, um, actually, please don't.
It turns out that Polaris
had a tooth abscess.
So the colic didn't have
anything to do with your sister.
And Spartan?
Maybe just bad luck?
I'm so sorry.
I shouldn't have
accused Gracie. I just
I don't know, I guess
I needed someone to blame.
No, no, no, no.
You don't have to apologize.
I appreciate you being honest with me.
So you're still coming
to that 4-H barbeque, right?
We're signed up to grill burgers.
Yeah, yeah.
I'll be there, armed with a spatula.
I, uh, I better get going
or I'm going to miss my event.
I love you.
I love you, too.

- (POWDER NEIGHS SOFTLY)
- (PARM GRUNTS)
There you go.
OK, stay nice and relaxed,
I'm gonna move him forward.
(AMY CLUCKING)
Maybe you can teach me some
of that Nathan Pryce swagger.
- What do you think?
- (AMY LAUGHS)
Well, swagger comes from confidence,
and confidence comes
from practice, so
Got it.
Let's do this!
- Mm-hmm.
- (AMY EXHALES HEAVILY)
OK. Come on. (AMY CLUCKING)
- Relax your shoulders.
- Hey
Straighten your back,
just nice and easy.
- (PARM) Whoa!
- Whoa, whoa.
Easy. It's OK. Just try to relax.
Whoa! Oh, no.
Hey, hey, hey, ho.
- You're fine.
- (PARM SIGHS HEAVILY)
It's OK. We'll take it slow.
Take a deep breath.
(INHALES AND EXHALES DEEPLY)
(SIGHS)
Guess I don't have
a lot of swagger, huh?
Well, I think he's just
picking up on your nerves.
Let's try again.
That's it. (POWDER FLUTTERS HIS LIPS)
"She placed her name tag
on the counter
"next to the ketchup bottle
she had filled and refilled
"countless times,
"and then she walked out the door.
Diana didn't look back."
- (APPLAUSE)
- (WOMAN) That was incredible!
Does anyone have any thoughts?
Dex?
What are you doing here?
I saw your poster at Maggie's.
Cool story, by the way,
except for the main character.
She was sort of boring.
- Boring?
- Yeah.
She was just so perfect.
She wasn't perfect.
I mean, she steals
money from her employer.
Yeah, but then she puts it back
in the cash register the next day.
Well, her decision
to return the money is
the entire point of the story.
I don't know, it just felt sort of
basic to me, you know?
I think your note is pretty basic.
Sorry, just my opinion.
Um that's
all we have time for today.
I'll see everyone next week.
- (MAN) Thanks, Katie. See you.
- (INDISTINCT CHATTER)
I should have kept my big mouth shut.
Just forget what I said, OK?
Look, I came to ask for a favour.
I know it's probably not
the best timing, but
I need a ride to the ranch.
So Taya recommended me
on her social media.
She said that I'm the reason
Polaris is headed
back to the Olympics.
It is the least she can do
after badmouthing you all over town!
Four new clients signed up
after she made that post.
So I can officially say
that I have my good name back.
What about Spartan?
He didn't have a tooth abscess.
I just think you're letting
Gracie off the hook too easy.
Yeah, well, Nathan and I are
in a good place right now.
And I just want to
leave that behind us.
What are you making a cake for?
A Hudson Wilds team barbeque
hosted by their sponsor, Pryce Beef.
- I'm surprised you're going.
- I guess
you're not the only one
working on letting things go.
You should come. It'll be fun.
We'll work on letting go
of our negative feelings
- towards Gracie together.
- Hmm. When is it?
Tomorrow.
Well, that's Lyndy's 4-H barbeque.
You had a miserable time last year.
I did not have a miserable time.
I'm just getting kind of used
to being the only single mom
at Lyndy's events,
and it gets a little lonely.
But Nathan's coming with me this year,
so I'm actually kind
of looking forward to it.
Perfect. OK.
Now, would you please
help me make this icing?
No! But I will lick
the spoon when you're done.
(LOU CHUCKLES)
(JACK SIGHS)
(PASSENGER DOOR SHUTS)
(SOFT MUSIC)
I know I broke your trust,
and I'm sorry.
I don't have anywhere
to sleep tonight.
I'd be really grateful
if I could stay here.
I'll be on my way in the morning.
(TILE CLATTERS)
All right.
After you get settled,
come in the house.
We'll feed you.
Thank you.
(RECEDING FOOTSTEPS)
(GRASS RUSTLING)
(PETER, MUTED) I played
all through high school.
(MUTED) I was never
good enough to be recruited
by a university or anything,
but, you know, it was all right.
So, Lyndy got to spend the day
with a pot-bellied pig.
- (LOU) Aww, I'm jealous!
- What position did you play?
Centre, mostly.
(LISA, MUTED) Pot-bellied pigs
are so adorable!
- Her name was Daisy.
- (AMY LAUGHS)
(MUTED INDISTINCT CONVERSATION)
You know, I asked GG for one
when I was your age.
- Really?
- Really!
And I wanted it to live
in the house, not the barn.
And he wanted to know
what I planned to do with it
- (MUTED INDISTINCT CONVERSATION)
- (AMY) Yeah!
So I told him that
it could wear it in a diaper.
And that was where
Grandpa drew the line.
(AMY LAUGHING)
Right, Grandpa?
- Mm.
- Mm-hmm.
Lou was reminiscing about
how she wanted
a pot-bellied pig as a pet.
(LOUDLY) Oh, yeah!
(LOUDLY) Remember you wanted
to put it in a diaper?
(JACK LAUGHS)
Auntie Lou already said that.
She did?
Well I guess I missed that.
You've been missing kind of
a lot lately, Grandpa.
(LISA) Mm. Maybe not the right time?
(LOU) Well, it's never the right time.
OK, we'll we'll talk
about it later.
No, we can't talk about it later,
'cause there's nothing to talk about.
Well, honey, you have
to admit you've been
having a hard time
following conversations
(LOUDLY) Oh, I miss
the odd word here and there.
(LOUDLY) You're all making
a mountain out of a molehill.
If you'll excuse me.
(TENSE MUSIC)
(SOFT MUSIC)
(POWDER FLUTTERS HIS LIPS)
- Oh!
- You missed our lesson.
Is everything OK?
I I didn't even realize.
Sorry, I I should have called.
Mina and I sort of got into a fight.
Parm, I'm sorry. We can reschedule.
Yeah.
Or maybe not. I don't know.
I don't even know if I want
to go through with it.
You just had one lesson.
I assure you,
it gets easier after this.
No, I I meant the wedding.
Oh.
Yeah, it was stupid.
She wanted dahlias for tomorrow,
and I ordered carnations
by accident, and
I just
We never fight.
Not like this, not over flowers.
My ex and I used to fight
like this all the time,
and in her eyes, I was
I was never good enough.
Well, it sounds like
your fear has more to do
with your previous marriage
and not this one.
Maybe.
But I just can't put myself
through that again, you know?
Just need some time to think.
If you change your mind,
I will be waiting at the ranch
for your lesson.
And I do hope I see you there.
(RECEDING FOOTSTEPS)
OK
- How's it going?
- What?! Oh!
- What?!
- I
- Ee
- Peter, I was almost done.
- Now, I have to fix it.
- Sorry, sorry, sorry.
Wow! That is
quite the cake, though.
You put a lot of effort
into that, huh?
It's a great design.
(PETER SIGHS)
So this isn't just
because Gracie's sponsoring
the girls' flag team, is it?
Of course not.
It's just a fun design.
OK.
Yeah, 'cause, of course,
it'd be pretty petty if
this was just some retaliation
for not being able to host
the barbeque at Heartland.
- Mm-hmm.
- Mm-hmm.
(LOU SIGHS)
And the whole idea is
Katie hangs out with her team
and bonds with them and doesn't feel
divided loyalties
between Heartland and her team.
Right?
Peter, it's just a cake.
- OK. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
- Yeah. Yeah.
- Looks great.
- Good. Thank you.
(LOU SIGHS)
(SIGHS HEAVILY)
(CELL PHONE RINGING)
(AMY) How's the drive going?
Uh, I haven't left.
I, uh, I did well in the last round.
Really well, actually,
and they invited me
to another competition, filling in
for a last-minute drop out.
Wow. That's great, Nathan.
- (THUD)
- Uh it's in Comox.
It's kind of a big deal
to get invited. Um
And I could really use
the prize money.
Only thing is, it is tomorrow.
- Tomorrow?
- Yeah.
It means I'd have
to head out there tonight
and I'd miss the barbeque.
But I, uh, I should make it in time
for the wedding, if I leave
right after the last round, so.
(SUCKS LIPS) What do you think?
I think you should do it, Nathan.
And don't worry about the barbeque.
There's always next year.
Thanks, Amy.
(THUDDING) I got to go.
Uh talk to you soon?
Yeah. Yeah, good luck.
Oh, um, do you think maybe you
could give Parm a call?
I think he could use
a friend right now.
- Everything OK?
- Yeah, just
call him when you get
a chance, please.
Yeah. Sure, will do.
Bye.
Nathan can't come to the barbeque?
- Yeah.
- Are you OK?
Yeah.
I'm pretty used to flying solo.
Long distance is hard.
I would know.
Can he at least
make it to the wedding?
If there even is a wedding.
Last time I saw Parm,
he was getting cold feet.
What? No wedding?
He knows he's not getting
his deposit back, right?
Ugh!
(SIGHS)
(RHYTHMIC KNOCKING ON DOOR)
- You ready to go?
- Just give me
a few more minutes.
OK. What are you working on?
I'm trying to revise
a short story, but I'm stuck.
You want a second set of eyes on it?
Thanks, but I'm OK.
I got some feedback
from my writing group already,
but it wasn't very helpful.
It was actually pretty annoying.
Huh.
Yeah, not always easy
to hear criticism, is it?
No.
You know what I think is,
if it's not helpful,
just ignore it.
But sometimes when something
rubs you the wrong way,
it's because there's
a little truth to it, maybe.
And good advice can come from
unlikely places.
I guess.
No, it's true.
Remember when I tried
to grow that moustache
and Lyndy said I was trying
to copy her GG?
It was at that moment that I realized
I should just stick
to the Morris classic,
which is milk moustache.
(KATIE CHUCKLES)
I'll think about it.
OK.
Hmm. Give me 10 more minutes?
I'll see you out there.
Thanks, Dad.
(RECEDING FOOTSTEPS)
- (JACK GRUNTS)
- (OBJECT CLATTERS)
(JACK GROANS)
- Hey.
- (ROOSTER CROWS)
Give me a hand with those, and I'll
I'll give you a ride
back into town when I'm done.
So listen, Jack, I have
a proposition for you.
I want you to be my bull riding coach.
You know what it takes
to be a rodeo champion.
And if you help me
I could be one too.
No.
No? Come on!
- I said no!
- Why not?
Look, you rode a bull
for one whole second,
and now you think
it's your life's work?
- Get a grip!
- It was more than a second!
You're lucky you're not dead.
Maybe
but I've never felt more alive.
The last time I came even
close to feeling like that
was back when I could still
call myself a hockey player.
It was a tied game,
and we were down to the shootout.
Either we were going to
the last round of the playoffs,
or we were going home.
It was up to me,
and I stood on my head
and made every single save.
Best game of my life.
But that's all over now,
and I
I need this, Jack.
Please.
(JACK SIGHS)
(BRIGHT MUSIC)
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
(LAUGHING)
Tag!
(LYNDY LAUGHING)
Surely, you have room for dessert?
I know I'm not the hot date
you were hoping for,
but I come bearing gifts.
What are you doing here?
I didn't want you
to have to do this alone.
Thanks, Lou.
Of course. That's what family's for.
And besides, I realized
this cake is a little obnoxious.
(AMY LAUGHS)
The last thing I want is
for Katie to have to pick sides.
I'm sure they'll have
a great time without me.
Lou, you are a good mom
and a great sister,
and, apparently, an excellent baker.
I'm wondering,
how are your grill skills?
Are you kidding me? Step aside!
The people of Hudson better be hungry!
I got this.
- Oh, hello! There you go.
- (AMY LAUGHS)
A perfectly cooked burger for you.
What am I looking at?
- (LOG THUDS)
- It's a bucking barrel.
It's as close as
you're gonna get to a real bull
until I decide you're ready.
Hold on, hold on!
That is step two.
First, you work on your balance.
I'm an athlete, Jack.
I have pretty good balance.
Well, then show me.
(RHYTHMIC MUSIC)
Easy.
Yeah, "easy."
- Take that.
- Oh!
(DEX GRUNTS)
Not so easy now, is it?
You stay like that
until I say you can stop.
Yes, Coach!
Can you believe
that woman asked me to put
her patty back on the grill?
"Undercooked."
Sure, if you want it
dense and inedible.
- (LOU SCOFFS)
- Lou.
Hey. Thank you for coming.
Of course.
Nathan missed out.
I'm happy that he's
following his dream.
And I want to be supportive.
But?
(AMY SIGHS)
I just feel like he's
already been gone for so long.
And now with this new competition,
who knows when I'm going to see him?
He says that he'll be back
in time for the wedding,
but he's cutting it so close.
I mean, I don't think
he's going to make it.
And I'm happy
that he's on this path,
but I wonder
Where does that leave you?
You know, Lou,
if he can't even commit to
a barbeque
(SENTIMENTAL MUSIC)
Hey.
How can he commit to us?
I just
Parm said that
both he and Nathan
swore off relationships
after their divorce, and now
Parm's calling off his wedding.
Wait, wait. Just because
Parm is second-guessing
his commitment doesn't mean Nathan is.
No, I know.
If you go into this relationship
expecting him to disappoint you,
he probably will.
You have to give him
a chance to prove he's changed.
Since when have you
become Team Nathan?
- I am Team Amy.
- (AMY CHUCKLES)
There's a difference.
But it's clear he cares about you.
Both of you.
(MOOING)
It's not enough to just hang
on to a bull for eight seconds.
You gotta be balanced
and in control of your body.
You gotta be a cowboy,
and you, sir, are no cowboy.
At least not yet.
OK, you can take a break.
Oh! Ah
What is going on here?
I don't know! I'm trying to teach Dex
what it takes to be a bull rider.
Wow, you're lucky.
The great Jack Bartlett doesn't
just take on any student.
Give me a few years, you'll be telling
stories about the great Dex Cashman.
(LOU CHUCKLES)
Can I stay and watch, Mommy?
Uh, well, that's
entirely up to your GG.
Well, there's not much to watch,
but of course, pumpkin.
- You be good.
- (AMY KISSES)
Lyndy doesn't want to watch
me lick the salt lick.
She wants a real show.
Let me try the bucking barrel.
- (JACK CHUCKLES)
- You're not ready.
Bull riding requires
discipline and focus.
And a little humility wouldn't hurt.
- I've got all that.
- Yeah? Prove it.
Climb up on that fence over there.
Come on.
Hold it right there.
Take this.
Ever heard of dumbbells?
Just take it!
(INTRIGUING MUSIC)
(DEX GRUNTS)
Oh! Ah!
- This is stupid.
- No.
It's hard. There's a difference.
- Now get back up there.
- (DEX SIGHS)
(BRIGHT MUSIC)
No!
Uh-oh
(LYNDY GRUNTING)
Ah
GG, help!
(GROANS)
Help, GG!
- GG!
- Did you hear something?
Stop making excuses
- and stay in the game!
- (LYNDY) GG!
Jack, where's Lyndy?!
What, you're giving up already?
GG, help!
- (DEX) Oh, no!
- (LYNDY WHIMPERS)
- (LYNDY WHIMPERS)
- I got you, Lyndy.
There we go. You all right?
(LYNDY CRIES SOFTLY) Oh, it's OK.
Here, come on.
- You're OK.
- (LADDER CLATTERS)
What happened?
Oh, Lyndy had
a little rooftop adventure.
It's not safe to climb
onto the roof like that, honey,
especially when there are
no grown-ups around.
I called a grown-up.
Why didn't you answer, GG?
Oh, no harm done.
You were really brave and strong.
I don't know if I could have
held on there like that.
Come on. Let me see those muscles.
Whoa! (DEX LAUGHING)
Remind me not to challenge you
in an arm-wrestling match.
Come on.
(PENSIVE MUSIC)
(LIGHT MUSIC)
- How late am I?
- (AMY) Well
I'm so sorry.
I didn't think you were coming.
Well, it's the strangest thing.
Nathan called not
long after I saw you.
I didn't tell him anything, I swear.
Just that you could use a friend.
Well, you were right.
Nathan told me that Mina's not my ex
and I should stop being such an idiot,
which was exactly what you said.
Well, I didn't call you an idiot.

Yeah, not always easy
to hear criticism, is it?
No.
You know what I think is,
if it's not helpful,
just ignore it.
But sometimes when something
rubs you the wrong way,
it's because there's
a little truth to it, maybe.
And good advice can come from
unlikely places.
I guess.
No, it's true.
Remember when I tried
to grow that moustache
and Lyndy said I was trying
to copy her GG?
It was at that moment that I realized
I should just stick
to the Morris classic,
which is milk moustache.
(KATIE CHUCKLES)
I'll think about it.
OK.
Hmm. Give me 10 more minutes?
I'll see you out there.
Thanks, Dad.

(JACK GROANS)
- Hey.
- (ROOSTER CROWS)
Give me a hand with those, and I'll
I'll give you a ride
back into town when I'm done.
So listen, Jack, I have
a proposition for you.
I want you to be my bull riding coach.
You know what it takes
to be a rodeo champion.
And if you help me
I could be one too.
No.
No? Come on!
- I said no!
- Why not?
Look, you rode a bull
for one whole second,
and now you think
it's your life's work?
- Get a grip!
- It was more than a second!
You're lucky you're not dead.
Maybe
but I've never felt more alive.
The last time I came even
close to feeling like that
was back when I could still
call myself a hockey player.
It was a tied game,
and we were down to the shootout.
Either we were going to
the last round of the playoffs,
or we were going home.
It was up to me,
and I stood on my head
and made every single save.
Best game of my life.
But that's all over now,
and I
I need this, Jack.
Please.
(JACK SIGHS)
(BRIGHT MUSIC)
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
(LAUGHING)
Tag!
(LYNDY LAUGHING)
Surely, you have room for dessert?
I know I'm not the hot date
you were hoping for,
but I come bearing gifts.
What are you doing here?
I didn't want you
to have to do this alone.
Thanks, Lou.
Of course. That's what family's for.
And besides, I realized
this cake is a little obnoxious.
(AMY LAUGHS)
The last thing I want is
for Katie to have to pick sides.
I'm sure they'll have
a great time without me.
Lou, you are a good mom
and a great sister,
and, apparently, an excellent baker.
I'm wondering,
how are your grill skills?
Are you kidding me? Step aside!
The people of Hudson better be hungry!
I got this.
- Oh, hello! There you go.
- (AMY LAUGHS)
A perfectly cooked burger for you.
What am I looking at?
- (LOG THUDS)
- It's a bucking barrel.
It's as close as
you're gonna get to a real bull
until I decide you're ready.
Hold on, hold on!
That is step two.
First, you work on your balance.
I'm an athlete, Jack.
I have pretty good balance.
Well, then show me.
(RHYTHMIC MUSIC)
Easy.
Yeah, "easy."
- Take that.
- Oh!
(DEX GRUNTS)
Not so easy now, is it?
You stay like that
until I say you can stop.
Yes, Coach!
Can you believe
that woman asked me to put
her patty back on the grill?
"Undercooked."
Sure, if you want it
dense and inedible.
- (LOU SCOFFS)
- Lou.
Hey. Thank you for coming.
Of course.
Nathan missed out.
I'm happy that he's
following his dream.
And I want to be supportive.
But?
(AMY SIGHS)
I just feel like he's
already been gone for so long.
And now with this new competition,
who knows when I'm going to see him?
He says that he'll be back
in time for the wedding,
but he's cutting it so close.
I mean, I don't think
he's going to make it.
And I'm happy
that he's on this path,
but I wonder
Where does that leave you?
You know, Lou,
if he can't even commit to
a barbeque
(SENTIMENTAL MUSIC)
Hey.
How can he commit to us?
I just
Parm said that
both he and Nathan
swore off relationships
after their divorce, and now
Parm's calling off his wedding.
Wait, wait. Just because
Parm is second-guessing
his commitment doesn't mean Nathan is.
No, I know.
If you go into this relationship
expecting him to disappoint you,
he probably will.
You have to give him
a chance to prove he's changed.
Since when have you
become Team Nathan?
- I am Team Amy.
- (AMY CHUCKLES)
There's a difference.
But it's clear he cares about you.
Both of you.
(MOOING)
It's not enough to just hang
on to a bull for eight seconds.
You gotta be balanced
and in control of your body.
You gotta be a cowboy,
and you, sir, are no cowboy.
At least not yet.
OK, you can take a break.
Oh! Ah
What is going on here?
I don't know! I'm trying to teach Dex
what it takes to be a bull rider.
Wow, you're lucky.
The great Jack Bartlett doesn't
just take on any student.
Give me a few years, you'll be telling
stories about the great Dex Cashman.
(LOU CHUCKLES)
Can I stay and watch, Mommy?
Uh, well, that's
entirely up to your GG.
Well, there's not much to watch,
but of course, pumpkin.
- You be good.
- (AMY KISSES)
Lyndy doesn't want to watch
me lick the salt lick.
She wants a real show.
Let me try the bucking barrel.
- (JACK CHUCKLES)
- You're not ready.
Bull riding requires
discipline and focus.
And a little humility wouldn't hurt.
- I've got all that.
- Yeah? Prove it.
Climb up on that fence over there.
Come on.
Hold it right there.
Take this.
Ever heard of dumbbells?
Just take it!
(INTRIGUING MUSIC)
(DEX GRUNTS)
Oh! Ah!
- This is stupid.
- No.
It's hard. There's a difference.
- Now get back up there.
- (DEX SIGHS)
(BRIGHT MUSIC)
No!
Uh-oh
(LYNDY GRUNTING)
Ah
GG, help!
(GROANS)
Help, GG!
- GG!
- Did you hear something?
Stop making excuses
- and stay in the game!
- (LYNDY) GG!
Jack, where's Lyndy?!
What, you're giving up already?
GG, help!
- (DEX) Oh, no!
- (LYNDY WHIMPERS)
- (LYNDY WHIMPERS)
- I got you, Lyndy.
There we go. You all right?
(LYNDY CRIES SOFTLY) Oh, it's OK.
Here, come on.
- You're OK.
- (LADDER CLATTERS)
What happened?
Oh, Lyndy had
a little rooftop adventure.
It's not safe to climb
onto the roof like that, honey,
especially when there are
no grown-ups around.
I called a grown-up.
Why didn't you answer, GG?
Oh, no harm done.
You were really brave and strong.
I don't know if I could have
held on there like that.
Come on. Let me see those muscles.
Whoa! (DEX LAUGHING)
Remind me not to challenge you
in an arm-wrestling match.
Come on.
(PENSIVE MUSIC)
(LIGHT MUSIC)
- How late am I?
- (AMY) Well
I'm so sorry.
I didn't think you were coming.
Well, it's the strangest thing.
Nathan called not
long after I saw you.
I didn't tell him anything, I swear.
Just that you could use a friend.
Well, you were right.
Nathan told me that Mina's not my ex
and I should stop being such an idiot,
which was exactly what you said.
Well, I didn't call you an idiot.
No, you were much kinder.
I think I was just afraid
that I'd keep messing things up
and she'd start to hate me.
You can't let your fear ruin
what you have with Mina.
You're right.
By the way, whatever you've
done to Nathan, I approve.
- What?
- (PARM LAUGHS)
He's been my friend for a long time,
and he's never been happier.
- (AMY LAUGHS)
- (POWDER SNORTS SOFTLY)
Guess it's time for me
to jump back on the horse.
We got a lot of work to do.
Hey.
You can grab the end there.
(SOFT MUSIC)
(JACK SIGHS)
I'm losing my hearing.
- I know.
- (JACK SIGHS)
It's nothing to be ashamed of.
I'm not ashamed, I just
can't help seeing down the road.
I mean, how long until
I can't get on my horse?
Now, time is precious.
We're not gonna waste
it thinking about
all the horrible things
that could go wrong.
- Yeah.
- You're losing your hearing.
Meh. We'll handle it.
And we'll handle the next thing
that comes along, too.
You're always taking care of
all of us in the family, and
now, sometimes, you have
to let us take care of you.
OK?
Thank you.
(GENTLE MUSIC)
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
(FRONT DOOR SHUTS)
Lou
I want to talk to you.
Sure, Grandpa.
Actually, you might as well
stick around for this, too.
Look, if this is about
last night, I went too far.
I shouldn't have pushed you
like that, and I'm sorry.
No, no.
No, I wanted to thank you
for caring enough to say it,
even though I wasn't
ready to accept it.
I know my hearing isn't what it was,
but if I want to keep being
here for the family,
I figure I better do
something about it, so
We are making an appointment
first thing in the morning.
That's great, Grandpa.
(JACK AND AMY CHUCKLE)
- Hey.
- Oh.
- I'm proud of you.
- OK, OK. Enough, enough.
Hi!
Sorry. You said
I can come in for dinner.
I can come back after.
No. No, that's all right.
Uh, give me a hand, would you?
(LISA CHUCKLES AND HUMS)
(LOU, SOFTLY) Good job!
I, uh, I just wanted to say thanks
for helping Lyndy back there.
No problem.
But if you're wanting
to offer me a reward,
I wouldn't mind crashing here
for a couple nights.
Not as many couches in town
as there used to be.
How about I do you one better?
(DISHES CLATTER ON COUNTER)
How would you feel about
a job here at Heartland?
Seriously?
I can't pay you,
but you'll get room and board.
And since you made it
through our first session
without too much whining,
I'll be your bull riding coach.
Yes!
As long as
you learn to cowboy some.
Yes, Coach.
I'll be up tomorrow,
bright and early, ready to work.
See if you can find
a bigger bag of feed this time.
(JACK LAUGHS)
Oh, and maybe we can go
into town after to grab my car?
Sure thing.

- Uh-huh. Whoa!
- (POWDER SNORTS)
- Ah
- Oh.
Not off to a great start, are we?
It's OK.
Easy, Powder.
I want you to do something for me.
What makes you feel calm?
Mina.
I can't even see her.
I wish I was actually
on a unicycle right now.
(AMY LAUGHS)
Do you trust me?
Sure?
I want you to close your eyes.
Is it too late to take that back?
I'll be right here, I promise.
Close your eyes and picture Mina.
(CALM JOYFUL MUSIC)
(BIRD CHIRPING)
I want you to take a deep breath.
Just think about her.
That's it.
OK. Open them.
