Previously onWildfire...

12 rescued thoroughbreds,

all underweight, all traumatized by fire.

This is Flame?

Raintree is back in the horse racing business.

I'm worried for you.

Don't be!

I'm afraid he's setting himself up

for a major disappointment.

We've always made a great team.

I don't want us to make the same mistakes.

Breaking up was the right thing to do.

I just wish I had handled things differently.

I know it must be hard for you to see Junior get married.

I'm okay with it. Really?

Kris is a friend. She should be at our wedding.

I said you could invite her if you wanted to,

but I didn't really want her there.

You finally found your passion for something great,

and no matter what happens with Laura,

I just don't want you to lose it.

I would love for you to be part of the wedding party.

I turned down a job last month.

Well, why didn't you go?

I didn't take the job because I really like it here.

You can't stay here because of me.

Well, I did, Dani. I stayed here for you.

Are you still in love with my brother?

We are always gonna feel this way about each other.

We can keep torturing each other,

or we can just end it and move on.

These guys are getting bored. I'll see you.

Might want to tell your guests to start aiming at the targets,

not the guy in the Porsche.

Dude, they are aiming at the targets.

And they're complaining that they don't have guns like the real Old West.

Wow.

Where you been, man? You disappeared two weeks.

Oh, just hanging out close to home before the wedding.

How's it coming?

Uh, like, uh--

Sorry.It's all right. Take care.

Like a freight train that never ends, man.

But it-- it's great.

Kris has really brought Flame's times down,

Lucky Lapo is showing real potential,

Hernando, Lynette, Barry's mitzvah

I mean, dude, it's crazy trying to train 12 horses,

not to mention these guys, which in about 20 minutes

are gonna be bored and say, "Hey, Cowboy Matt,

can we go for another trailer ride?"

Actually, I was talking about the reading.

R-Reading?

Yeah, that passage

you're supposed to read aloud at my wedding,

o Best Man o' mine.

Remember that thing Laura gave you?

Uh, yeah, to memorize, yes.

Yeah, it's no sweat, dude.

You lost it already, didn't you?

No, no. I haven't lost it. It's just in--

It's down in the, um--

is-- it's, uh, it's in somewhere.

Just please have it memorized before the ceremony.

Laura wants our wedding

to be the greatest, most unique, most beautiful ever.

It's called being a bride.

Ah.

Junior,

you want to watch Flame?

Uh, no, thanks.

I'm out of here.

Wedding stress.

♪ Oh, that's right

All right, Wildfire, just a few more minutes.

There ain't nothing to worry about.

No need for stitches.

Just daily wash and Thorazine,

and it shouldn't even leave a scar.

Great, thank you.

So what, he jump out of the pasture again?

Third time this week.

I don't even know what he cut himself on.

Just woke up this morning,

and suddenly he was grazing in the front lawn.

He has plenty to eat in the pasture.

I'm not sure why he's not happy in there.

Huh.

Have you tried a companion horse?

Every horse we have.

Nothing seems to make a difference.

I'm just worried that, you know, one of these days

he's gonna hurt himself for real.

All right, it's not really safe to have Wildfire running loose like that.

Until you can find the right companion horse for him,

I'll recommend you keeping him in a stall

and just taking him out for walks.

I don't have time for that.

I can help find the right horse

that'll hold Wildfire's interests

and keep him in the pasture.

You're gonna help Matt train 12 horses

and find a friend for Wildfire?

Anything I can do to help.

That'll be great.

Yellow is friendship, red is love.

Who doesn't know that?

I could always give a call down to--

Daddy, you know that place we always used in Washington?

I'll get the roses you want sent out immediately.

You know, there's this great florist in town--

How 'bout some Kobe steaks while we're at it.

I mean, who ever heard of a vegetarian wedding?

Vegetarian?Dad--

No, Listen. I know, and I'm respecting your boundaries,

but there are gonna be some very important people here, honey--

carnivores, every last one of them.

Cannibals, more like.

Dad, this is my wedding.

Ahem.

And Junior's wedding.

I'm not really digging the swan napkins.

It's 2:00?

Dad, can you stop by the caterer's and taste the soup?

Yes, of course, darling. Right away.

No adding bacon.No adding bacon.

He's out of control.

Well, you know what they say:

women either marry their dads or the opposite.

Well, I'm glad you're my dad's opposite.

He is so type A,

and you...are type Z.

You're never stressed about anything.

Do the napkins really have to look like swans?

Of course they do, darling.

Oh, don't be unreasonable.

Right.

Oh, you two, so in love.

Makes this crusty heart break a little.

The tailor's here for the second fitting.

and Calvin called, he's on his way.

Oh, okay. Ooh, but I need you.

We still have to go talk to the wedding planner.

There are a hundred decisions to make.

I'll go if you let me make at least six of them.

Five, if you're lucky.

Okay. Dad, tell Calvin I'll be right back.

Now, about these napkins.

Oh, I love these swans.See? They're great.

Hey, so I'm trying to find a friend for Wildfire

so he stops jumping out of the pasture.

You're really back at Raintree.

Uh, sort of. I mean, I guess.

They're not paying me or anything,

but it's working out.

Doing things differently this time?

Yeah.

Anyways, um, Wildfire's stuck in the stall

until I can find him the right horse.

That's not good. What's up with him?

Why is he jumping out of the field?

I-- I can't figure it out.

I mean, he's retired, living the dream, right?

You don't have a mare I can try him with?

Betty Lou might work.

Thank you.

You're gonna have to ask Junior, though.

She's his horse.

What's my 10 AM?

Good morning to you, too.

I'm just trying to be professional.

Well, does professional come with an ice scraper?

Dani, you know the job offer over at the Pritzer Clinic?

I decided to take it.

You're just gonna quit on me?

I don't have a contract here.

But--

I can't believe that you would do this.

I took a chance on you, and now you're just gonna leave?

No, Dani, it's not like that.

Hey, Dani.

I'm sorry, I'm-- interrupting.

No, you're not.

I'll be on rounds if I get any calls, okay?

Hey, Laura asked me to drop this dress off for you.

You're gonna look great in that dress, honey.

Gonna have to fight 'em off for a dance.

Thanks, Dad.

Uh, listen. Um...

I can't imagine this has been easy for you.

What?

Junior's getting married.

I mean, for weeks,

talks have been nothing but wedding, wedding, wedding,

and I know that must be--

been a little hard for you.

Dad--Listen,

All right, R.J., I know what he meant to you.

And the thought of what might've been

has gotta be very painful.

But it doesn't mean that maybe there isn't another one--

not to make you forget R.J., but--

but who may be just as right for you

in, um, a completely different way.

Dad, I'll see you at the rehearsal.

Okay, hon.

Hi, Veterinary Staffing?

Hey, Calvin. I'm sorry I'm late.

Sorry, I'm sorry to just to barge in.

It's just that Wildfire's been running away, and--

and Noah thinks that he needs a companion.

Matt asked me to help him, and Pablo suggested Betty Lou,

but he told me to ask you, so--

Fine. Take her.

Thanks.

Dude!

Total brainstorm.

You know how we have to raise 100 grand

for the materials to build the first turbine system?

Well, with all the little lights

that you're putting up for your wedding,

why don't we use the turbine to power them?

This wedding made possible by wind power.

That's a great idea.

Between my Dad's friends and the Congressman's posse,

there's gonna be some serious cash here.

You're a genius.

No, it wasn't me.

While we were waiting for you, she came up with it-- Kris.

Okay, Betty Lou, Wildfire.

Isn't he handsome?

Now your job is to flirt

and convince him not to jump out of the pasture.

Wait, Matt, don't leave.

Uh, can you just stick around

just in case anything goes horribly wrong

and we have to separate them?

Sure.

For an old friend, why not?

Why do you think he keeps running away?

I mean, everything that he wants is right here.

What's up with you and Junior?

Seems a little harsh, you being bridesmaid and all.

Matt, this--

wedding is really hard for me.

Kind of wish you hadn't admitted that.

I-- I guess I figured--

I knew it.

Sorry.

Let's go grab a bite or something.

Kris, I'm glad you tell me what you're feeling.

But I don't think I can be the shoulder

you cry on for this one.

"Love is patient, Love is kind."

What does that have to do with being a cowboy?

Nothing.

I just need to memorize it. Who's first?

That's me.All right, heels down.

Don't let him eat. No passing, no running.

Just give him a kick to get him started.

Thank you.

Okay.

Heels down. Don't let him eat.

No passing, no running.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!Oh!

Are you okay?

Oh, my God! What are you--

I'm sorry.

Is that horse Tupper still out back?

Yeah, his deadbeat owner

abandoned him without paying the bill.

I mean, can you believe that?

Could've at least told us before we stitched him up.

Well, do you mind if I try him with Wildfire?

I mean, he needs a friend

that's a little more interesting than the average horse.

Hey, are you okay?

Do you think that you could be friends with someone

after you break up?

Uh...

apparently not.

Noah and I had a falling out.

Yeah, I noticed that you guys

were acting a little chilly towards each other.

Do you want me to talk to him?

Oh, no, no, no.

I mean, he's just a normal guy, you know?

The kind that wants a normal,

happy, stable relationship.

The kind that leads to marriage and kids and--

I have no idea how to do that.

Me, neither.

Tomorrow we get to be bridesmaids.

It's Laura's way of keeping her eye on us.

Hmm.

Nothing is gonna change.

Everything is gonna be perfect,

but there's gonna be a beautiful, clean,

rose-entwined wind turbine lighting the ceremony

instead of a nasty old, polluting,

unreliable power company. Keep rubbing.

Junior, if this were any other event--

a birthday, anniversary, a bar mitzvah, even--

I would be fine with it.

But this is my wedding.

Hey, it's my wedding, too.

You wouldn't even let me tie bows on the chairs.

Daddy just got to it first.

I would just like to make one decision regarding our wedding.

I promised myself I wouldn't turn into Bridezilla.

And despite the soothing massage,

guess what.

It's not that bad.

Okay.

So I've been a little controlling over the details.

But it's only because together,

we've already made the most important decision of all.

I picked you, and you picked me.

That's all that matters, right?

Yeah.

Hey, Jean.

Hey, Pablo.

Thought I'd pick up Betty Lou.

Sure. Why don't you get a cup of coffee?

Great, thanks.

I'm sorry she didn't hold Wildfire's attention.

That's okay. A gelding named Tupper is.

They're thick as thieves right now.

Oh, great.

Kris has really been helping us out.

You okay with her being back here?

No.

Thank you.

Not really.

I'm trying to let Matt

make his own decisions right now.

That sounds hard.

Yeah, it is.

Thanks.

Sorry.

No, we really should've gotten Betty Lou back to you.

I'm sorry. It's just been nonstop chaos around here,

you know, from morning till night.

Okay, so why don't you make it up to me, then?

Be my date to Junior's wedding.

I would be honored and delighted.

Great.

Go on. Taste this.

It's good.

Oh, my God!

I have a meeting with the ferrier.

We really could use you around here.

Love Will Keep Us Together.

That should be your first dance, honey.

Captain & Tennille-- classic.

I can't believe how some fathers interfere.

How are you doing?

Well, women get married to please their mothers

and escape their fathers, so I'm lucky.

My mom abandoned me, and I've escaped you,

so there's no need to ever go through this nightmare.

Sorry. Can we just not talk about this right now?

It's not as if weddings have great associations for me, either.

Look, I'm alone.

I've been alone a long time,

and I just hope that you don't end up the same way.

Your life's not over, Dad.

You still have plenty of time to meet someone.

Well, I'm all for it if you are.

Oof. I walked right into that one, didn't I?

Just promise me you'll give him another chance.

Who?

The guy you're running away from.

Uh--

Dad, I can carry my own bouquet.

Can we all just focus here?

Junior. Finally. Let's get started.

Everybody, this is the plan. This--

Hey, can I talk to you for a sec?

Dad! Phone off!

Sorry, just the President.

Honey, about the wind turbine--

Okay, you and your dad are gonna go first.

Matt, you're next.

Have you memorized your reading?

Uh, I-- I will. I'll have it memorized.

The wedding's tomorrow.

Yeah, tomorrow. He's got time. Now, back to the wind turbine.

I'm thinking we could put it right outside, you won't even see it.

I mean, it's perfect.

Calvin and Junior have been working so hard on it,

and with all the possible investors tomorrow,

it's-- it's a no-brainer.

A no-brainer. Huh.

Excuse us.

You know how much stress I'm under,

and then you go and get your friends to side against me

at our wedding rehearsal?

Laura, wait.

Wind turbines?

It was a good idea.

They should use them to light the ceremony.

I can't believe you.

I can't believe I felt bad for you.

Why?

You just tried to come between Junior and Laura.

Kris, come on.

It's one thing to admit you're upset,

but what are you trying to do, sabotage their wedding?

Hi, Calvin Hanley.

Do you hate global warming? More and more...

I have to admire his passion.

I mean, he clearly believes in what he's talking about.

Reminds me of Matt.

So he really believes he can take rescue horses

and make 'em champions, huh?

Well, we did it with Wildfire,

with a little help from Kris.

Listen, um...

did you mean what you said the other day?

Is there room for me at Raintree?

Hi.

You look like a jealous man, Dad.

Hi.

Let's get this show on the road, shall we?

Mm-hmm.Come on.

Hey, buddy.

You think I'd go straight to the wedding

without checking up on you?

I can't believe I have to just stand there

and say nothing--

while Junior marries someone else.

Wildfire!

What a day.

It's like a dream come true, isn't it?

Marrying a beautiful girl from a great family?

I gotta tell you, there were times

when I didn't think that you were capable of making, um,

the right decision.

I guess I came to my senses.

Glad I could pull through for you, Dad.

Oh, I couldn't be more proud of you.

Thanks.

I just wish--

What?

I just wish that Laura could see

how important this wind turbine project is to me.

Oh, come on.

It's wind turbines today,

tomorrow it'll be racing Porches

and 12-meter sailboats the day after that.

You're-- You're a restless soul.

Be thankful she loves you in spite of that.

You're right. Absolutely right.

Just 'cause I'm gonna share my life with her,

doesn't mean I have to share my passions.

Right? Right.

Learn from my mistakes.

Passions is essential, but only in small doses.

Otherwise, it tears you apart.

And everyone else gets caught in the crossfire.

She's perfect for you in so many ways.

Yeah, she is a great girl.

I love her.

When you find the right one, you just know.

Hey, we still got some time.

Would you like a little scotch to settle the nerves?

No.

I think I just need a little air.

Your wedding.

Got a feeling they won't start without me.

Hi, Aunt Agnes.

We've been looking for you.

Uh, will you excuse me for a moment?

They're, um, they're right inside.

Hey, what are you doing here?

Your father paged me.

He said he had a horse that was colicky.

Do you know which one?

I'll find out.

Okay.

Oh, hey, he'll be out in a minute.

Just a little wardrobe malfunction. Missing studs.

I don't want your daughter marrying a guy with an unbuttoned shirt.

Yeah, those studs can be hell.

I almost lashed Condoleezza once when two popped.

He can use mine.

No, that's all right. We're on top of it.

Just tell Laura we need a couple extra minutes.

Which horse is colicky, Dad? Rhinestone?

Um...Rhinestone, yeah.

He was all sweaty.

There is no colic, is there?

Um...no.

I admit I brought Noah here on false pretenses,

but I did it for your own good.

He seems like a really great guy.

And I thought I noticed a little spark between you two the other day.

Dad, just stay out of my life.

I can't, honey.

I love you, I want you to be happy, and you're not.

And what's the matter with mixing

a little business with pleasure anyway?

Everything.

Noah and I got personal.

All right? It didn't work out.

And now he's leaving the clinic,

I can't find anyone to replace him,

so I may have to shut my doors.

My life is a disaster.

Honey, I'm sorry.

But... business and romance,

my advice is the same--

If you need that vet,

you find some way to make him stay.

Where the hell's Junior?I don't know where he is.

There's someone else missing, too.

Wildfire! Whoa! Whoa!

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Whoa!

Good boy.

We got some kind of magic, Furillo.

Let me guess: the horse rides in the trunk.

Hal, right?

You work at, uh, Lazy G. The fancy cutting horses.

Yeah, that's our fence line right over there.

You think you could keep Wildfire for the night?

In a stall, 'cause we have a wedding to catch.

Up to his belly in clean straw.

I heard you were getting married.

Best of luck.

You know,

I think two people as crazy as you

definitely belong together.

Hey, I, uh, checked every horse in the barn.

I couldn't find any colic.

Yeah.

No, listen.

I'm really sorry about everything that happened between us.

It's all my fault.

You're a great vet,

and the Equine Center really needs you,

so what can I do to make you stay?

Dani, nothing.

Noah, please be reasonable.

I mean,

I'm sorry if I don't think that you're the guy for me.

Call me a cold bitch, yell at me, anything,

but please don't sabotage the clinic

because you're mad at me.

Dani, I'm not leaving here because I'm mad at you.

You're not?

No.

Well, then, why?

Dani, every day I come to work, I am so happy to see you.

I can't help that.

You are beautiful, smart, strong...

amazing...

impossible.

And I think we could be great together.

But that's not gonna happen.

And I get it.

I do, I get it.

I just can't keep working alongside of you,

having to face on a daily basis

what could've been.

For me that's just too depressing.

Dani, we need you.

Hey, listen, I'm sorry we got you out here on a false alarm.

Please, stick around and join us for a drink afterwards.

No, you know, I should get home.No, no, no, no.

I insist. Come on. Come on.Dad.

Matt.

What's going on?

Um-- Oh, you look beautiful.

Nice try.

Where's Junior?

Oh, Junior. Uh...

To be honest with you, I'm not sure.

But I know him, and wherever he is,

He's trying very, very hard to get here.

And where's Kris?

Kris?

Kris Furillo.

Bridesmaid Kris. Junior's ex-girlfriend Kris.

I'm so sorry about this.

It was a life or death situation.

Well, can you just drive a little faster?

'Cause we're already really late.

It's okay.

Thank you for saving Wildfire's life,

and helping me out,

which is more than I deserve.

Kris--

I tried to break up your wedding, and...

I am so sorry.

I had my chance with you, and I blew it,

and I have to live with that.

Hey.

Remember that time when our lives are falling apart

and we talked about just getting in the car

and driving away together?

No, I can't.

What? Kris?

You already told me how you feel.

I know.

And as much as I wish

it was you and me walking down that aisle today,

we missed our chance, and there must be a reason for that.

It's not too late.Yes, it is.

There are hundreds of people-- your friends and family--

waiting for you to marry Laura.

I don't care!Junior, listen to me!

I know what it's like to lose people's respect.

And more importantly,

I know what it's like to lose respect for myself.

And I have that back now.

I am not gonna be the person to break up your wedding.

Dude, where the hell have you been? Where's Kris?

Kris? No idea.

Hey, does anybody have a--

Wow, you look amazing. I had a flat tire.

I got here as soon as I could. Thanks, Dad.

It's just the way you met. It's Kismet.

Where's Kris?

I'm here. I'm here.

Sorry, Wildfire got loose, and I had to catch him.

Did I miss the wedding?

No. It's fine.

All right, well, let's do this, kids. Come on!

Let's go, let's go.

You have your reading memorized?

Oh, Matt!

Take a deep breath. Ah, you look lovely.

All right, here we go.

We are gathered here today

for the wedding of Kenneth Walter Davis, Jr.,

and Laura Hayes Nichols.

The first reading will be done by Matt Ritter--

best man and the groom's oldest friend.

"Love is..."

kind.

No wait, um...

Love is...

Love is patient.

And it's really, really hard.

In fact, it's-- it's--

probably the hardest thing

that any of us will ever attempt.

But what's the point of life?

To go through it

with the least amount of wear and tear as possible

or to live it?

So...you take a chance on someone.

It's starts with that little spark.

It's the greatest part. Everybody loves that part.

And that person makes the toughest times better.

By helping you out when work makes you crazy.

And then you start disagreeing on what movie you wanna see.

Or you forget a birthday.

You start fighting about...

how you want the napkins to look.

Swans?

And you're mad. And she's mad.

And all of a sudden,

it seems so easy to just get out, run away.

It's weird. It--

The universe always sends you a sign that you're making a big mistake.

A piano lands on your head,

or a horse gets loose and delays an entire wedding.

What the universe is trying to tell you

is that when you find the person

that makes your life a crazy mess,

they're one in a million.

And you can't ever let them go.

You just can't.

Calvin?

We seem to have a small electrical problem.

Just sit tight, and we'll have it fixed

in just a moment, I'm sure.

Yeah, do it. Yeah.

Noah.

Dani, I, um...

will not let the clinic close.

I'll stay until you find a replacement.

No one in my family has ever had a successful relationship.

Ever.

Well, Junior--

Is marrying the wrong girl.

So...

given that the odds

of a Davis maintaining a happy relationship

are as bad or as good as a mule winning the Kentucky Derby.

Are you--

I've seen some pretty fast mules.

No spark.

Can this get any worse?

Yes.

What if there's always another wind turbine with me?

What do you mean?

I know you think it's just a passing phase.

That the project's either gonna take off or bomb,

but in any case, in a couple months

you'll have Horse Farm Owner Junior back.

The guy you met by the side of the road.

But, the thing is,

really, I'm--

I'm kind of serially passionate.

You just happen to meet me in between passions.

And Matt's right. I love crazy messes.

And this whole wind turbine thing--

Laura, wait.

Bet we have time for a glass of champagne.

I'll go get us one.

Laura, please talk to me.

Look, getting married is a big deal.

Having cold feet is normal.

You're scared, and you're using business

as an excuse to push me away.

I won't let you do it,

because I know what you want.

You wanna be one of those old couples

that's never spend a night apart.

You want--

Kris.

Hey, I told you.

I had the wind turbine set up in five minutes.

There's a lot of potential investors here tonight,

and we need to start with him.

Fantastic. I underestimated that little gizmo.

Good job. Now let's get back to the wedding, shall--

Uh--What? What's the matter now?

You know, Dad, when you said earlier

that you just know when it's the right person?

Yeah, and Laura is in every way.

She's not.

I'm sorry, Dad. I know how much you wanted this.

I wanted it?

No, you wanted it.

It was your choice. It's the smart choice.

I'm sorry, um,

but the wedding is off.

Why?

I don't wanna talk about this, Dad.

Just one second, mister.

Look, I'm sorry.

No, no, sorry is not good enough, son.

Sorry is not good enough!
