Original subtitles

Previously on Heartland... There's something I need to tell you about our

halftime show. We're revealing our new sponsor.

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. 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

the colic outbreak.

Putting horses' lives in danger? That doesn't make any sense.

Hi, Amy. Hi.

Oh, wow.

That is a really big horse.

Nathan mentioned that you might be a little bit afraid.

I 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

thought 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.

Okay, just as long as I get to marry you.

A unicycle, huh?

Maybe I should have a big red nose, some floppy shoes.

You'll have to excuse me for just a minute.

I'll be right back. Okay.

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, need to show you something.

Thank you.

Okay.

You should invite your whole flag girl team over to the ranch this weekend.

a big barbecue and celebrate your performance at the rodeo.

Sounds like a great idea.

Fun. And just so you know, I'm around all weekend. So if you need any help,

let me know. Awesome. Thanks, please. Okay. I'm going to head out. I've got to

pick up a shirt at the dry cleaners.

Did you hear me, Jack?

Yeah. Going to the dry cleaners to get a shirt.

No, I don't want dessert.

Okay.

I've got some errands to run.

I'll see you all later.

Okay.

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 color.

My vet said the exact same thing.

It seems I owe you an apology.

At the break of day, you sank into the dream.

You dreamer.

You dreamer.

You dreamer.

I was thinking before we get to the writing, you

two should just get to know each other.

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, uh, boy did horses ever since.

Well, I promise you that Powder is a sweetheart.

Okay?

Go ahead.

Just like this?

Yeah.

Okay. Good boy.

Okay, 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. 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 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.

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 broth 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.

Hey, Jack.

Living in your car now?

I've been couch surfing out of friends, 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,

was thinking, maybe I could spend a night or two in your barn loft, just

get things figured out. No, sir.

You broke my trust. That is not something I can just forget.

Well, I'm not leaving.

I've got plenty of friends I can stay with.

Hey, Dad.

Hey, kitty cat.

Hi.

I think it's a good weekend for this, hey? The barbecue's gonna be awesome. Mm

-hmm.

Yeah, um, about that.

Please don't freak out, but it turns out Gracie Price is throwing a barbecue for

the team tomorrow.

I don't understand.

It was super last minute, and you couldn't say no. I mean, Price Beef is

sponsor. Okay, but did she invite the team before or after she found out I was

going to host?

Mom, please don't make a big deal out of this.

Yeah, yeah, I can take Katie. I can fit this one out if you want.

Uh, no, let's all go, and I'll even bring dessert.

Okay.

Hey, stranger.

Hey. Did you get Parm up on a horse?

Um, not yet. We're taking it slow, but I plan to this afternoon.

I really appreciate you helping around.

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 okay. I'm rusty.

I miss you.

I miss you too.

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 his sister.

And Spartan? Maybe just bad luck.

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 barbecue, right?

We're signed up to grill burgers.

Yeah, yeah, I'll be there, armed with a spatula.

I better get going or I'm going to miss my event.

I love you.

I love you too.

Yes, I'll always be lonely and blue.

One love, just one love, and that is me.

If I can't have your love, then I'll stay blue.

Lou, you startled me.

Sorry, why was the music so loud?

I didn't think anyone else was home.

Okay, I'm headed to the grocery store to pick up some baking supplies. Do you

need anything?

No, thanks.

foot in the stirrup and swing your other leg over.

There you go.

Okay. Stay nice and relaxed.

I'm going to move him forward.

Maybe you can teach me some of that Nathan Price swagger. What do you think?

Well, swagger comes from confidence and confidence comes from practice.

Got it.

Let's do this.

Okay.

Come on.

Relax your shoulders.

Straighten your back. Just nice and easy.

Whoa. Whoa, whoa, easy. It's okay. Just try to relax. Whoa. Oh, no. Hey, hey,

hey, ho.

You're fine.

It's okay. We'll... Take it slow.

Take a deep breath.

Just, uh...

Don't have a lot of swagger, huh?

Well, I think he's just picking up on your nerves.

Let's try again.

Not bad.

She placed her name tag on the counter next to the ketchup bottle she had

and refilled countless times, and then she walked out the door.

Diana didn't look back.

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.

I should have kept my big mouth

shut. Just forget what I said, okay?

Look, I came to ask for a favor.

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

is headed back to the Olympics. It is the least she can do after bad -mouthing

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?

Hudson Wild's team barbecue, hosted by their sponsor, Prince Beef.

I'm surprised you're going. I guess you're not the only one working on

things go.

You should come. It'll be fun. We'll work on letting go of our negative

towards Gracie together.

When is it? Tomorrow.

Well, that's Wendy's 4 -H barbecue.

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 Lindy's events.

And it gets a little lonely.

But Mason's coming with me this year, so I'm actually kind of looking forward to

it. Perfect. Okay, now would you please help me make this icing?

No, but I will lick the spoon when you're done.

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.

All right.

After you get settled, come in the house.

We'll feed you.

Thank you.

I played all through high school. I was never good enough to be recruited by a

university or anything, but, you know, it was all right. Lindy got to spend the

day with a pot -bellied pig. What position did you play?

Center, mostly.

Pot -bellied pig is so adorable.

His name was Daisy.

You know,

I asked Gigi 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.

So I told him that he could wear a diaper. And that was where Grandpa drew

line.

Right, Grandpa?

Mm -hmm.

Lou was reminiscing about how she wanted a pot -bellied pig as a pet. Oh, yeah.

Remember you wanted to put it in a diaper?

Auntie Lou already said that.

She did?

Well, I guess I missed that.

You've been missing kind of a lot lately, Grandpa.

Maybe not the right time? Well, it's never the right time.

Okay, well... I'll talk about it later. No, we can't talk about it later because

there's nothing to talk about. Well, honey, you have to admit you've been

a hard time following conversation. Oh, I missed the odd word here and there.

You're all making a mountain out of a molehill.

If you'll excuse me.

Everything okay?

I didn't even realize.

Sorry, I should have called.

Nina and I sort of got into a fight.

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.

Are you sure it gets easier after this? No, I meant the wedding.

Oh.

Cupid, 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.

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.

Okay.

That's enough. What?

Peter, I was almost done. Now I have to... Like this. Sorry, sorry, sorry.

Wow, that is quite the cake, though. You put a lot of effort into that, huh?

It's a great design.

So this isn't just because Gracie's sponsoring the girls' flag team, is it?

course not.

It's just a fun design.

Okay.

Yeah, because, of course, it would be pretty petty if this was just some

retaliation for not being able to host a barbecue at Heartland.

Mm -hmm.

Mm -hmm.

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.

Okay. Yep.

Looks great. Good. Thank you.

I haven't left.

I did well in the last round. Really well, actually. And they invited me to

another competition filling in for a last -minute dropout.

Wow. That's great, Nathan.

It's in Comark.

It's kind of a big deal to get invited.

And I could really use the prize money. The only thing is, it is tomorrow.

Tomorrow? Yeah.

It means I'd have to head out there tonight and I'd miss the barbecue.

But I, uh...

I should make it in time for the wedding if I leave right after the last round,

so... What do you think? I think you should do it, Nathan.

Don't worry about the barbecue. There's always next year.

Thanks, Amy.

I gotta go.

Talk to you soon?

Yeah, yeah. Good luck. Oh, do you think maybe you could give Parm a call? I

think he could use a friend right now.

Everything okay?

Yeah, just call him when you get a chance, please.

Yeah, sure will do.

Right. Nathan can't come to the barbecue?

Yeah. Are you okay?

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 Parme, he was getting cold feet.

No wedding?

He knows he's not getting his deposit back, right?

You ready to go? Just give me a few more minutes.

Okay.

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 okay.

I got some feedback from my writing group already, but it wasn't very

It's 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 mustache and Lindy said I was trying to

her Gigi? It was at that moment that I realized I should just stick to the

Morris classic, which is milk mustache.

I'll think about it. Okay.

Give me ten more minutes.

I'll see you out there.

Thanks, Ed.

Hey.

Give me a hand with those and 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

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

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.

Surely you have room for

dessert.

I know I'm not the hot date you were hoping for, but I come bearing gifts.

are you doing here?

I didn't want you to have to do this alone.

Thanks, Lou.

Of course. My family's four.

And besides, I realize this cake is a little obnoxious.

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. Perfectly cooked burger for you.

What am I looking at?

The buck and barrel.

As close as you're going to 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.

Then show me.

Easy.

Yeah, easy.

Take that.

Not so easy now, is it?

You stay like that until I say you can stop.

Yes, coach.

You believe that woman asked me to put her patty back on the grill?

Undercooked. Sure. If you want it dense and inedible.

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?

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.

I'm happy that he's on this path, but I wonder...

Where does that leave you?

I don't know. He can't even commit to a barbecue.

How can he commit to us?

Carmen said that both he and Nathan swore off relationships after their

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

will.

You have to give him a chance to prove he's changed.

When have you become Team Nathan?

I'm Team Amy.

There's a difference.

But it's clear he cares about you.

Both of you.

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.

Okay, you can take a break.

What is going on here?

I don't know. I'm trying to teach Dex what it takes to be a bull rider.

Wow, well, you're lucky. The great Jack Bartlett doesn't just take on any

students. Give me a few years, they'll be telling stories about the great Dex

Cashman.

Can I stay and watch, Mommy?

Uh, well, that's entirely up to your Gigi. Well, there's not much to watch,

of course, Punk.

You'll be good.

Lenny doesn't want to watch me lift the salt lick.

She wants a real show. Let me try the bucking barrel.

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.

This is stupid. No, it's hard. There's a difference. Now get back up there.

Did you hear something?

Stop making excuses and stay in the game.

Jack, where's Lindy?

Are you giving up already?

Gigi, help!

Oh, no.

I got you, Lindy.

You all right?

Oh, it's okay.

You're okay.

What happened? Oh, Lindy 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, Gigi?

Oh, no harm done.

You're 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. Remind me not to challenge you in an arm wrestling match.

Come on.

How late am I? 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.

But you could use a friend.

Well, you were right.

Nathan told me that Mina's not my accent. I should stop being such an

Which was exactly what you said. Well, I didn't call you an idiot.

Well, 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?

He's been my friend for a long time, and he's never been happier.

Guess it's time for me to jump back on the horse.

We've got a lot of work to do.

You have the end there.

I'm losing my hearing.

I know.

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 going to waste it thinking about all the horrible things that could

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

to let us take care of you.

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

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.

Okay, okay, enough eating.

Hi.

Sorry, you said I can come in for dinner. I can come back after.

No, that's all right.

Give me a hand, would you?

I just wanted to say thanks for helping Lindy back there.

No problem.

But if you're wanting to offer me a reward, I wouldn't mind crashing here

couple nights.

Not as many couches in town as there used to be.

How about I do you one better?

How would you feel about a job here at Heartland?

Seriously? I can't pay you, but you'll get room and board.

Since you made it through our first session without too much whining, I'll

your bow -riding coach.

Yes. As long as you learn the cowboy song.

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.

Oh, and maybe we can go into town after to grab my car?

Sure thing.

You ready?

Uh -huh.

Whoa.

Not off to a great start, are we? It's okay.

Easy, powder.

I want you to do something for me.

What makes you feel calm?

Nina.

I can't even see her.

I wish I was actually on a unicycle right now.

Do you trust me?

Sure.

I want you to close your eyes.

Too late to take that back?

I'll be right here, I promise.

Close your eyes and picture Nina.

I want you to take a deep breath.

Just think about her.

That's it.

Okay, open them.

There she is.

She's so beautiful.

Amy?

I think you can let go.

Always.

I love it.

I lost the bank. I was pushed until after lunch.

I ditched it.

That was important to you.

That is important, isn't it?

I'm sorry I invited you. I know.

I'm glad you're here now.

Well, what do you think?

Let me see.

Oh, you can hardly see them, Jack. Just hold on a second.

So, how did it go at the clinic?

Come join us.

Let's just listen.

What are we doing here?

You know that it's harder with an audience.

I came to apologize.

For what?

I wasn't very nice to you the other day.

I thought a lot about it, and you were kind of right.

I was trying so hard to make the main character likable that I forgot to make

her human.

Anyways, I rewrote it, and the story's a lot better now.

Thanks to you.

Cool.

Can I read sometime?

Sure.

But only if you bring your own work in.

You've clearly got good instincts.

Yeah, maybe.

Does that mean I'm invited back?

We meet every week.

Stop by if you get a break from whatever this is.

You actually made it.

Oh, well, I'm not going to miss my friend's wedding. It only happens twice.

look beautiful.

Thank you for everything.

And did you see me on powder?

I did.

Pretty impressive. Yeah. You look so handsome up on that horse. You actually

pulled off that Nathan Price swagger pretty well. Hey, hey, that was no Price

swagger. That was all me.

Thank you. Thank you both for coming. I really appreciate it.

And hey.

Great to see you happy.

I'm happy. And you are.

I'm happy you're here.

You ready?

I was ready ten minutes ago. I'm practically falling asleep. I

wasn't ready. You pulled the cord before

I even finished answering your question.

Can you even hear what I'm saying?

Loud and clear, but you're making me wish I couldn't.

Unless you'd rather go back to your balance exercise. No, no.

Go again.

Just get on.

Be a little more gentle next time.

I got you something.

What? I saw it on the road. Let me think of you.

It's beautiful.

I think so.

One day.

Good to know.

Would you?
