Previously on Heartland.
I was toying with an idea.
Us entering Lisa’s endurance
race this weekend.
- Hayden?
- This is my was my agent.
It’s a clinic in Colorado.
Best cutting-edge vision care.
You’re saying there’s a chance
to get me back on the ice?
I’m ready for a change:
I think it’s time
to start looking for a new horse.
- Ladies, this is Sprite.
- Wow.
He’s mentioned a Carter.
- I just assumed it was a guy.
- Definitely not a guy.
It’s not real. Other people
are gonna think what you did.
That’s why you brought it up, right?
I’m Chet. We spoke
about my stock branch
Rockwood’s, sponsoring the flag team.
I’m throwing a party tonight.
Great food, great music.
Ladies like to get dolled up.
You should join us.
I never say no to a good party.

You know, I can’t remember the
last time I was this mad at you.
Maybe it was when
you punched that girl.
- What was her name?

Olivia. You punched her in the face.
I’ve definitely seen you
more mad since then.

Sounds like Amy.

Over here!
Amy. What happened?
Just be careful. There’s a snake.
I got off to get Shadow’s shoe,
he pulled it,

Oh my gosh, we gotta
get you to a hospital.
You can’t move
or the venom will spread.
They’ll need to airlift you
out of here.
I don’t have a signal.
Why don’t I have a signal?
Amy, where’s the nearest medic tent?
Um, I don’t know, like 2.5 to 3 miles
that way is the midway point.
- Winn should still be there.
- I’m gonna go.
Okay. Um, rattlesnake bite.
Grandpa taught us
about this once, right?
Uh, we gotta keep the wound,
um, um, above the heart.
Oh, is it below? It’s above!
- It’s below.
- It’s below. Yes, yes. Okay.
Try not to move too much
and stay calm.
- Right.
- Focus on your breathing.

It’s gonna be okay.

No.

Uh like there. I think.
Okay, well, it’s pretty rough terrain,
but it’s not too far from the highway.
Sprite can’t make it that far.
He’s already tired from the
race, and we got here so fast.
- I can do it!
- Really?

I’m always looking
for new opportunities to expand.
Investing in the future,
not just the present.
I’m even looking at providing
livestock for movies.

are due for a rematch.
Thought you were done with all that.
What? No way. Just ’cause
I’m going back to hockey
doesn’t mean I’m quitting bull riding.
Bull riding’s not a hobby, Dex.
Yeah. You’re right.
I should start training
for hockey season anyways.
Some of these new goalies
coming up are really good.
- So were you, I hear.
- I was.
But I haven’t seen a puck
in almost a year.
Meanwhile, these guys
haven’t stopped training,
and they won’t be recovering
from a major surgery.
So I got some catching up to do.
It might not be an easy road,
but it’s not like you to back
down from a challenge either.
I mean, it can’t be any harder

Georgie, I just wanted
to make it to the finish line.
But you refused to take it seriously.
You were taking it too seriously.
- If you just relaxed a little

The whole reason we got so off course
is because you were so relaxed.
- I mean, look what happened.
- Enough.
This is petty nonsense,
girls, and you know it.
Taking it out on each other

Are you the family of Amy Fleming?
Yes, I’m her sister. Is she okay?
It’s good that you got her

We administered the antivenom

many successes together.
Can’t wait to see where the
sponsorship takes the two of us.
(RIVER COUGHS)
Sorry, I’m not much
of a bourbon drinker.
You’re adorable, you know that?
Whoa!
I think you got the wrong idea here.
Relax, I’m just kidding.
I know you have a boyfriend.
Yeah, this isn’t really
a "boyfriend" thing.
It’s a "not into guys
with inflated egos
and questionable taste
in interior design."
Now that wasn’t very nice.
There you are.
- It’s time to leave.
- Yeah, right behind you.
Hey!
Leave us alone! Get out of our way!
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hold up!
Just stay! You can’t leave.
You can stick your sponsorship
where the sun don’t shine.
- GG.
- Are you girls okay?
We’re fine. We just want to go home.
- Did he do something to you?
- No.
- If you touch my girlfriend
- Dex, don’t be an idiot.
Nothing happened, okay?
Can we just go home, please?
Dex, why don’t you escort
Katie and River to the truck?
And I’ll be right out.
♪
You heard her, Jack. Nothing happened.
I was just having fun.
You’re a fun guy, uh?
You know, Katie’s
my great-granddaughter.
And River’s her best friend.
If I hear that you’ve been
anything but a gentleman tonight,
this will be the last party
you’ll ever throw.
Do you understand me?
Yes, sir.
See, I’m a fun guy too.
You really don’t have
to stay here tonight, Lou.
I am not leaving you alone.
You should be home
spending time with Georgie.
You don’t get to see her very often.
Well actually, Georgie and I
could probably use a little break.
We’ve been at each other’s
throats all day.
It’s not like you two to fight.
She treated the endurance race
like it was a schooling
session for Sprite.
The whole thing was just
a big joke to her.
I thought it was supposed to be fun.
Yeah I mean, of course.
But (LOU SIGHS)
The truth is I’m
I’m staring down an empty nest.
You know, and I’m trying to figure out
who I am without my kids.
And I know it sounds silly,
but I thought
maybe I could try
being an endurance racer.
- Who says you can’t?
- Well
I’d have to finish a race,
first, to find out.
Lou, you are so many things.
You’re a
a rancher, a businesswoman.
Thank you.
I know I contain multitudes.
So why can’t I shake the feeling
that something’s missing?
(GROAN OF PAIN)
Oh, I’m gonna call the nurse.
No, no. No, it’s okay.
- Are you sure?
- Yeah.
(AMY SIGHS)
It’s okay. It’s almost past.
I would be a lot worse off
if it wasn’t for you.
Well, I can’t take all the credit.
It was Winn who got you
to the ambulance.
What, you don’t remember?
No.
I know you two have had
your differences, but
she was kind of amazing.
(CALM MUSIC)
I just don’t understand
why you were alone with Chet
in the first place.
We were talking about the sponsorship.
It’s not my fault he’s such a creep.
You’re right.
It’s not your fault.
I’m sorry that happened to you.
We’ve all had a long day.
Let’s call it a night.
See you in the morning.
Thank you for having my back.
Of course. Always.
(GENTLE MUSIC)
I’ll see you up there.
I’m so sorry, GG.
Well, you know that your mom
is gonna have plenty to say
about all this in the morning.
So until then, get some sleep.
If you can.

Hey.
Sweetheart. I love you.
You don’t have to worry, okay?
The doctor said
I’ll be good in no time.
- Promise?
- I promise.
How was your sleepover?
Good. I met Ellie’s puppy.
- He was so cute.
- I bet!
Well, let’s go to the barn
and check on the horses
No, you don’t, Amy.
You are going straight to bed.
Yeah, I’d do what she says

I’ll go check on Spartan and Shadow.
Thank you. You give them
an extra treat for me, okay?

The surgery only works
for about half
the patients that get it.
There’s even a chance
my eyesight could get worse.
You’ve done your research.
That’s good.
But I hope this doesn’t mean
you’re getting cold feet.
No. Of course, I’m not.
Do you remember
what you told me you’d do
with your first pay cheque
after you got drafted?
Replace my junker of a car.
Now, if I recall correctly,
you were deciding
between a Porsche 911 or a
- Lamborghini Huracán.
- That’s right.
You could probably afford both
if you play your cards right.
Sure, it’s possible
the surgery won’t work,
but truthfully, you won’t be
much worse off than you are now.
And more than anything:
I miss the old Dex!
That funny kid who used
to pull pranks on his teammates.
I was actually
kind of a jerk back then.
I disagree.
You were the life of the party.
Everyone loved you.
Now you just seem so serious.
And no wonder,
you’re being worked
to the bone on that ranch.
But life doesn’t have to be this way.
Have a little faith.
Everything’s gonna work out.
Have I ever steered you wrong?

I gotta take this.
Big deal in the works.

You keep telling me how
mature and responsible you are,
and yet everything you did
yesterday suggests the opposite.
I know. I know.
As soon as that limo pulled up,
I knew that something bad
was going to happen,
but River was so intent
on going to that party, and
and I didn’t want her to go alone.
I’m really sorry, Mom.
- I know that I messed up.
- Yeah, you did.
And I’m very disappointed in you.
- But I’m also proud.
- You are?
(LOU SIGHS DEEPLY)
You know, it keeps
a mother up at night
worrying if her daughter’s
gonna be prepared
for the Chets of the world.
And trust me, there are a lot of them.
But you stood up for yourself.
And for River. And that took guts.
And though I don’t condone violence,
he certainly deserved
your little parting gift.

That said
you’re still very grounded.

(SHE SIGHS AGAIN)
How’d you make out with your mom?
I’m grounded.
- Ouch.
- Yeah.
I am trying to look at it
as an opportunity
to finish a short story
I’ve been neglecting.
Sort of like a forced writing retreat?
Exactly.
I’ve been calling River.
She hasn’t been picking up.
Yeah. I
I think she’s still
processing your big news.
To be honest, so am I.
It’s gonna be weird
not having you around.
I’ll visit all the time.
You’re not getting rid
of me that easily.
- You’re not going to visit.
- Sure, I will.
Aren’t hockey players
on the road all the time?
Doubt you’ll be in Hudson much.
Well
There’s always a trade-off,
isn’t there?
Your dream comes true, but
you have to lose
something along the way.
Living here, riding bulls
it’s all stuff I stumbled into.
It was never part of the plan.
Most guys don’t get
a second chance like this.
I should be counting my lucky stars.
I should be happy.
(SOFT MUSIC)
How come I’m not?
I should be buying you flowers.
You’re the one who saved my life.
If the roles were reversed, you
would have done the exact same.
Besides, these aren’t
get-well flowers.
They’re more of a peace offering.
For what?
I feel really bad that I made
you paranoid about Emma Carter.
(AMY SIGHS)
Truth is
I have never had much luck
in the guy department.
Much prefer horses. Way less drama.
I hear you on that one.
Anyway, just don’t let
my relationship baggage
make you doubt your boyfriend.
You two clearly
have something special.
Yeah.
No, I
I thought so too.
If Carter is just a friend,
then why didn’t he mention her?
Have you tried
asking Nathan that question?
I’m too terrified.
What if he’s not the person
I thought he was?
There’s only one way to find out.

You two are looking great.
That endurance race really
brought you two together.
Thanks. Unfortunately,
it feels like it
did the opposite for us.
Still not sure
I understand what happened.
I don’t know if I understand
either, to be honest.
The truth is, I’m
I’m going through
kind of a tough time right now.
What happened?
A few weeks ago, I
- I thought I might be pregnant.
- What?
It turns out
it was just a false alarm.
That must have been a huge relief.
At first. But then
I was a little disappointed.
It left a bigger hole than I realized.
Mom
You and Katie don’t need me
as much anymore.
Which is a good thing.
You know, I’m
I’m glad you two are so independent,
and you’re moving on with your lives.
But I think I just somehow
got it in my head that
finishing this race would prove
that I could move on with my life too.
- Now I feel terrible.
- Don’t.
How could you possibly
have known, honey?
Thanks for telling me.
You know, one of the perks
of your kids growing up
is you don’t have to protect us
from what
you’re going through anymore.
(MOVED) I appreciate that.
Next time I’m going through
a midlife crisis, I’ll just
take up pottery or go to a spin class.
Way less chance of someone
being bit by a snake.
If I leave now,
I can be there by the morning.
There’d be nothing for you
to do but watch me sleep.
Well, that doesn’t sound so bad.
Honestly, I’m fine.
Don’t miss your competition tomorrow.
- You sure?
- I’m sure.
So, how was your dinner
with Carter last night?
Pretty uneventful.
Hard to compete
with a rattlesnake bite.
So, you and Carter
had a good time then?
That’s twice now you mentioned Carter.
Is something on your mind?
(AMY SIGHS)
I saw a picture of you two together.
Right.
I guess I should have mentioned
that Carter’s a woman.
Well, I’m
not a jealous teenager, Nathan.
I know that you’re gonna meet
other women on the circuit.
If you’d just called her Emma,
I probably would’ve let it go.
Well, there’s nothing going on
with Carter Emma.
That’s why I didn’t say anything.
We promised to be truthful
with each other.
You’re right.
I’m sorry.
If it’s any consolation,
Emma’s got a pretty serious
fella in her life right now.
PDAs are actually out of control.
Oh, wow. Good for Emma, I guess.
Actually, reminds me
of us not so long ago.
When we first fell in love.
Couldn’t get enough of each other.
I remember the feeling.

Wow, you guys,

Everyone is being very secretive.
Are you gonna tell me what’s going on?

Okay
What do you say we pick up
where we left off?
Are you serious?
Yeah, I think we both
deserve a redo, don’t you?

Oh, you are so on! No, you’re on!
Call me if you reconsider.
Bye, Hayden.
Hey, we’re all
headed over to the race.
You’d be more than welcome to come.
No thanks. I better stick
around in case River calls.
(ENGINE REVVING)
So your agent’s leaving in a
hurry. Is everything all right?
Yeah.
I, uh
I told him I’m not
gonna get the surgery.
He wasn’t very happy about that.
What changed your mind?
When I was a 17-year-old kid,
I used to believe
everything Hayden told me.
He was so certain I was gonna make it
to the big leagues, but
That turned out not to be true.
He seems to think you could
be headed back there again.
Nobody can predict
the future. Not even Hayden.
The 17-year-old me wants
to believe him, but
I’m just not that kid anymore.
For better or worse,
I’m on a new path now.
And I want to see where that goes.
So, bull riding practice

Bright and early.

talked to you about the surgery,
but it doesn’t matter anymore:
I’m not going through with it.
So everything can go
back to the way it was.
You made two life-changing
decisions without me, Dex.
First to get the surgery,
and now not to?
I just needed space
to figure things out.
Yeah, but you must have
confided in someone, right?
I just wish that person was me.
