Original subtitles

- Previously on Heartland... - Come on, Phoenix.

What do you say we give them one last show?

A stable in Austria wants me to ride for them.

Really? When do you have to go?

A few days.

This is your dream,

and I’m so proud of you for going after it.

Still gonna miss you.

I’m happy to make the trade, but it looks like

too much bull for your rider.

He’s just learning.

At the end of last season, I got run by a guy.

Put my head into the post.

Hit me so hard, he messed up my eye.

AGH!

Damage is permanent.

Nobody wants a goalie who can’t see the puck.

You look like a movie star.

Oh, no. Your mom is the star.

She saved the day. - It was a joint effort.

Tammy’s boyfriend tried to pull a move on me last night.

I was up half the night talking to Nathan about it.

- You told Nathan? - Why wouldn’t I?

He’s a million miles away,

and there’s nothing he can do about it.

We agreed to be 100% honest with each other.

I win!

Stetson and I would have beat you if it wasn’t for that

highly illegal start. - Sure, sure.

But honestly, you two are looking good.

Thanks.

Actually, I was toying with the idea

of us entering Lisa’s endurance race this weekend.

What? Really?

Are you surprised because you don’t think we’re fit enough?

No!

I’m surprised because you haven’t mentioned it

until right now.

But I think you guys would be great.

You should enter with me. It’ll be fun!

I can’t. I already told Lisa I’d volunteer.

It’s going to be sweep or hand out water,

help with the horses.

You know, I don’t think she thought it was going to be

this big of a job.

Why didn’t she ask me to volunteer?

Because you are busy!

Just... stick with the point, Lou.

You should enter the race.

Am I hallucinating or is that...

Georgie!

Find your focus point.

Ready?

Whoa!

Oh, shoot! Ah!

Whoa! Oof! Oh...

- You okay?! - Yeah.

Well, that was the best one yet!

Does that mean I can finally graduate to a real bull?

Well, don’t get all fired up about it.

We’re building the foundation here.

You can’t rush the foundation.

- What the blazes? - What a jerk!

There he is!

Hayden?

What are you doing here?

I take it you two know each other.

This is my... was my agent.

Hayden, this is Jack. - A pleasure, sir.

Sorry I rolled in here unannounced.

Well, you roll up just in time for breakfast

if you’re interested.

- Good to see you, man. - Good to see you too.

Just once, could you give me

a heads up that you’re coming?

It really was spur of the moment!

I missed Phoenix.

And you guys, obviously.

How is it going in that new barn?

Last time we talked, you were...

you know, you had more horses to ride than you could handle.

That’s a good experience.

Riding multiple horses makes for better riders.

Yeah, it’s been good, but every time I start

to really gel with a horse

is exactly when the owners decide to sell them

or send it off to a new circuit.

It’s just like getting your heart broken over and over.

Honey, I hadn’t thought of it that way.

Yeah, that’s got to take its toll.

I’m ready for a change.

I think it’s time to start looking for a new horse.

That’s a big decision and... a big purchase.

It is, but I’ve been saving,

and a new horse is an investment.

My--my last investment sure paid off.

What I’d really like is

if Amy could help me find a new horse?

I would love to.

I’ll make some calls when we get back.

Awesome.

So what are you doing here?

Not that I don’t like seeing you.

This.

It’s a clinic in Colorado.

Best cutting-edge vision care in the world.

They’ve had fantastic results with injuries similar to yours.

Like with fixing them?

100% restoration.

The surgeon is gonna be at a conference in Calgary.

I’ve convinced him to take a look at you.

You’re saying there’s a chance he could get me back on the ice?

Back on the ice, back in the game, back in the money.

- ♪ And at the break of day ♪

♪ You sank into ♪

♪ Your dream ♪

♪ You dreamer ♪

♪ Ah-ah-ah-ah ♪

♪ You dreamer ♪

♪ You dreamer ♪

♪ Ah-ah-ah-ah ♪

Well, that is exciting, but private in the States,

that means expensive, and you’re paying out of pocket.

We’ll figure that out. No stress.

If this works, they’ll be paying us

just to slap Dex’s comeback story on their website.

Are there potential side effects, though?

I mean, it is surgery, right?

No, it’s... a procedure.

They use lasers or something.

Right. Okay, so there are no risks, then?

What wouldn’t Dex risk to get his full vision back?

Look, we meet with the doc. He says you’re a candidate.

I can have you in that clinic in two weeks.

Signed and back training in six.

The Lightning still want you!

I’m just having a hard time wrapping my head around this.

The takeaway here is...

it’s hope.

You think about it for 24 hours, and I’ll set up the meeting.

Okay.

Okay.

I think I’m more nervous now than before a horse show.

Just try to have fun.

You don’t have to make a decision today.

Just think, my future horse could be

right behind those doors.

Yeah, or it could be right in front of you.

Lucky number one.

That’s it! Keep your leg on.

He’s got a bit of a shorter stride.

Help him through it.

Good boy.

Nice work.

He’s just not forward enough for me.

I think I need a horse with a little more energy.

Lucky number two?

He’s just not careful enough.

I don’t like his conformation. He’s too downhill.

Not sure about this one.

He felt off in his hind end.

He’s too big.

Too small.

He felt sour in the mouth.

It’s a chestnut mare.

There we go! Nice work.

How’d that feel? - Well, he’s...

responsive, careful.

But his heart’s just not in it.

Okay.

All of these horses are perfect on paper,

but none of them are really what I’m looking for.

That’s all right. It’s okay.

I said this was supposed to be fun, right?

So, why don’t you describe to me

what your next horse looks like?

That’s the thing. I don’t know.

Needs to love to jump.

Honestly, I just thought I’d be able to feel it.

But maybe I can’t because...

none of these horses are Phoenix.

I’m looking for the same connection I had with him,

but maybe that’s just... not possible.

Georgie, it’s possible.

We’re not trying to replace Phoenix, okay?

Look... this next horse is gonna be special

in its own way, and we will find it.

I hope you’re right.

Hey, is there something I should know?

A reason why you’re hesitant to buy another horse?

It’s my next partner. Isn’t that reason enough?

I can’t afford to make a mistake.

Hey.

Nice job on that new gate.

Oh, thanks.

So that agent of yours, that was quite the bomb

he dropped on you.

Yeah.

I’ve read this six times. It’s like science fiction.

This stuff didn’t exist when I got hurt.

Science, it moves pretty fast.

And I know Hayden wants you to move fast, too,

but don’t let him pressure you.

You get all the information you need.

Hayden’s a good guy. He wouldn’t steer me wrong.

Well, I’m not saying he would, but it’s not his health...

or his pocketbook on the line, either.

As long as I get back to hockey...

that’s all I care about.

You mind if I head into town, see River?

I can stop by the hardware store after,

pick up the parts you ordered.

Sounds good.

Hey.

Hey.

We just put in 10 miles,

and Stetson’s feeling great.

Good.

How’d it go with Georgie? Any contenders?

No, and I’m a little worried.

Why?

Well, Georgie’s putting so much pressure on herself

to find a new mount, but she’s still so attached to Phoenix,

she can’t even visualize what she wants in a new horse.

Well, Phoenix was one in a million.

Yeah, an underdog.

Like Georgie, and definitely not

what you’d expect from a championship jumper.

Yeah.

Maybe we won’t find her next horse in a show barn, either.

- Lisa! - Georgie!

Hi! Oh, my gosh!

Thank you for making this happen, Lisa.

I know how busy you are with the endurance race.

Oh, are you kidding?

I am so excited for you to meet this guy!

Hi!

Oh, hi, Phoenix.

Love you, bud.

- Ladies, this is Sprite. - Wow.

He’s one of my homebreds, so I have

a real soft spot for him.

Thank you.

- He’s beautiful. - He is.

And he made money on the track

until he lost interest in racing.

And then six months ago, I sold him to Greg Sims.

Oh, I know Greg. He’s got a nice strain.

Yes, and he wanted to turn him into a jumper.

Says he has no brakes.

So I’m really hoping the two of you

can make strides with him

because this might be his last chance at a professional career.

And I...

it’s important to me.

Hi, bud.

It sounds like we both need a fresh start.

Maybe some faith. Huh?

Nice to see you two so happy.

Any special reason you’re walking on air?

Dex maybe share some news?

No, just a typical ice cap and walk through the park.

I think I might really like him.

Like him, like, love him, like him?

Oh my gosh, Katie, I’m a goner!

He--he makes me feel beautiful, he makes me laugh,

like, I feel safe when we’re together.

And he has dreams, dreams that he’s, like,

really working towards, not just playing video games

in his parents’ basement.

So yeah, I...

I love him.

Have you... have you told him?

Because I appreciate being in the know...

I’m afraid of what he’ll say.

Or won’t say.

What do you think?

I think that you have to do what feels right in the moment.

I mean, we talk about everything

except for how he feels about us, about our future.

Did he, um, did he tell you

that his ex-hockey agent showed up?

Sure. I mean, I think he’s here on a scouting trip.

He might take Dex out to dinner on the weekend. Why?

I just thought it might be difficult

for him to see someone from his old hockey days.

Remember what happened when Shim showed up?

Hard to forget.

But I think he’s okay.

I’ll check in on him, though.

But...

where did we land on me dropping the L word first?

He feels good and balanced.

Definitely a lot more forward than Phoenix.

I can tell he just really wants to go.

Okay, well, this exercise is all about keeping him

slow and collected.

This is usually a three stride in between these two fences,

but I want you to try to make it a four, okay?

Nice and easy.

Okay.

Why don’t you come around to the wall and try that?

Oh, honey, are you okay?

Yeah.

Yeah, that’s going to leave a bruise tomorrow,

but I’ll--I’ll be fine.

Unfortunately, I can tell why Greg decided

Sprite’s not a jumper.

It’s just not a good fit.

Wait a minute, Georgie.

I don’t think we should leave it at that.

Hey... Sprite’s years on the track

only taught him to run.

It would be unfair to think he’s magically gonna forget that.

That’s kind of what I’m looking for.

A little magic.

Phoenix wasn’t magic, Georgie.

I know.

You know, Sprite has all the characteristics you need.

He’s bold, he’s athletic.

We just have to teach him that he doesn’t have to run

to get over the fences.

Give him a bit more of a chance.

Come on.

Doesn’t even want to touch the poles!

I wonder if he’s got the scope for a little more height.

- Let’s raise ’em up. - Okay.

Okay. - That’s good.

Come on, Sprite!

Hey. What are you doing?

You’ve got a lot to learn still, but I think we can

figure it out together.

Lisa, if it’s okay, I’d like to buy your horse.

Oh, nothing would make me happier!

And you know what? I might cut you a deal.

- Hey. - Hey.

Why do you look like the cat who ate the canary?

I don’t know what you’re talking about.

This is just my face.

And I entered the two of us

in the charity endurance race this weekend.

Uh, by this weekend, do you mean tomorrow?

Yeah.

Amy thinks Stetson and I could do really well.

And it’s, you know, it’s for charity.

I’m so sorry, Mom. I can’t.

I mean, I have multiple short stories.

I need to finish my portfolio, and the Wilds have practice.

Plus, River and I are going to train, just the two of us.

Maybe River would let you blow off practice just this once

for your mom.

I doubt it.

But we’ll do the next one, all right? Promise.

Okay, okay, wait. I am springing it on you

last minute, so it’s... it’s fine.

I’ll just... do it on my own.

Hey, you.

Hey, beautiful. You look happy.

I am happy. I had a really great day.

How about you?

Are you wearing a new shirt? What’s the occasion?

Yeah, I’ll be right there. - Where are you?

Uh, sorry, Amy. I’m just running to my truck.

Carter’s trying to wrangle us all.

We’re going to some famous barbeque spot

that always has an hour wait.

What? You are gonna wait an hour

in line for a restaurant?

Yeah, Carter pulled some strings,

got us a reservation.

Hmm, this Carter seems pretty handy.

When do I get to meet your circuit friends?

They all want to meet you too.

Uh, I’ll call you later. - Yeah, sure.

Sounds good. Have fun.

- Love you. - I love you...

...too.

- You got that, honey? - Yeah.

Hey, did you, uh...

Did you know that Mom wants to ride Stetson

in the race tomorrow?

No. Are we against this?

She’s just, um...

She’s been a little extra lately.

Mom extra or extra, extra?

Well, she’s turning the dude ranch

into a Nordic spa,

and there were a couple days where she was actually thinking

of breeding quarter horses.

Now, she wants to do a 25-mile race by herself.

I’m just...

I’m worried she’s biting off more than she can chew.

- Mm-hmm. - Yeah.

Well, no worries.

I think I have a solve.

I have a sleepover

at my friend Ellie’s house tomorrow.

She has a new puppy. - Aw! Jealous!

Would you pass me that?

I, uh...

I’m gonna need to take some time off early next month.

Any particular reason?

I’m pretty sure I’m gonna get the surgery.

It’s happening next month?

Wow. They got you in fast.

Yeah. Then I’ll head to Vancouver.

Hayden’s got me lined up with a goalie coach

who’s willing to get me in shape.

So you’re not asking for time off. You’re leaving.

I mean, if all goes well...

What did River say when you told her?

I haven’t told her.

What, are you just gonna wait until your bags are packed?

Katie.

This is exciting news for Dex.

I mean, he could have his vision restored.

Yeah.

Sorry, Dex.

It’s okay. I’m gonna talk to her.

I was just waiting for the right moment.

Well, since everyone’s sharing their good news,

I have some of my own.

Doesn’t top a sleepover and a puppy, but...

I found a new horse.

His name’s Sprite.

That’s fantastic, Georgie.

I heard you guys had a bit of a rough start, though.

He crashed through half a jumping course?

Lou, it’s gonna take a little while for them

to figure each other out.

Yeah, and on that note,

I’ve decided to join you and Stetson in the race tomorrow.

Oh! I love the idea of the company,

but is that a good idea?

Yeah, I don’t know, Georgie.

He hasn’t really had any trail experience.

I know, but I think it’d be a great way for us to bond.

Why don’t you just take one of the other horses?

I’m sure Katie wouldn’t mind you riding Dodger.

Mom, if you expect a horse to fail,

that’s when he’ll fail.

I’m taking Sprite.

Okay.

Nice, Katie! That was stellar!

Thanks! Yeah, I still get a little dizzy, though.

Whatever you do, do not dismount right away.

Do not recommend.

Oh, hey, have you, uh, found a new sponsor for the flag team?

I heard there’s a tack store in Diamond Valley opening up.

I have a pretty good lead.

It could be a huge get, but I don’t want to jinx it.

Dex is truly befuddling to me.

Befuddling?

Thursday, we talk on the phone three times,

and today, all I get are single emojis.

You didn’t say anything to him about the L word?

No! No, absolutely not.

I--I would never-- - No, of course!

Sorry! I don’t even know why I went there.

Yes, you’ve been very helpful. Thank you.

I appreciate it.

All right. Bye now.

Hey. Who were you talking to?

The Horizon Neuro-Optic Clinic in Colorado.

- Oh, Dex. - Yeah.

Yeah, they let me chat with one of their consultants.

And I’m guessing they think you’re a future patient

and not an employer poking around on behalf of an employee?

Well, I might have fibbed a little.

I bet you did.

What’d you find out? Anything?

She says they’re having terrific results.

Terrific meaning

a whole 50% of their clients

experience significant restoration of vision.

Okay. The other 50?

No improvement whatsoever.

Some even experience side effects,

headaches, vertigo.

You gonna pass that on to Dex?

I don’t know.

Well... be delicate.

Sometimes, the truth does not set people free.

It pisses them off. Take it from me.

Tammy still hasn’t returned your calls?

No, not a one.

I’m throwing myself into organizing this race

just to distract myself, and it’s not working.

All I can do is...

keep running this conversation that we had over and over again,

thinking I sh...

I wish I’d said things differently.

You said what she needed to hear.

Lise, just...

give it time.

Yeah.

All right, I’m off.

Gonna raise some money!

- Do you want a hand with that? - Oh, woulda, coulda, shoulda!

- Hey. - Hey.

So Lisa assigned me to the midway point,

so I’ll meet you there with water and electrolytes.

- Great. - And, uh, you got a map, right?

Because there’s no cell service. - I got it.

Hey, is that Winn over there?

Hi!

Yeah, uh, you know, this is something

that she would jump at the opportunity for.

It’s great optics for her brand, I’ll give her that.

She’s savvy.

Well, even if some of her followers donate,

then that’s a win.

True.

All right.

Hey, well, I should probably hit the road.

Good luck. Be safe. - Thanks.

- Is Sprite okay? - Yeah. He’s fine, Mom.

Just leave your worries at the start line.

Okay, well, it’s time to go. Come on.

Welcome, riders.

Thank you so much for joining us

on our very first Stride for a Cure

charity endurance race.

Okay, so we have marked the trail.

Please stick to the designated path and be safe.

Take care of each other and, of course, have a little fun.

All right, are we ready? On your mark, get set, go!

Go, Sprite!

Georgie, hold him back!

Don’t worry, Mom! Woohoo!

Okay, seriously,

I cannot talk the whole time. I need to finish this polish!

I’ll get the shakes.

See what I mean? Something’s up.

Hey, you’re River, the Wilds’ captain?

Yeah, I am.

I knew I recognized that pretty face.

Thank you? Sorry, but who are you?

Oh, man, I’m coming off like a creep.

I’m Chet. We spoke about my stock branch...

- Oh! - ...Rockwood’s, sponsoring

the flag team this year? - No, Chet!

It’s so nice to meet you.

I think it would be a match made in heaven.

I agree in more ways than one.

Hey, I’m glad I spotted you.

I’m throwing a bit of a party tonight.

It’s great food, great music.

All the ladies like to get dolled up.

You should join us and we can chat more.

We’ll think about it. Thanks.

It’s a very nice invitation. Thank you, Chet.

Um... I never say no to a good party.

Great. I’ll text you the details.

Oh, my gosh!

You guys know that jerk?

Yeah. He’s the Wild’s new sponsor.

If I can get him to commit,

he could really kick us into the next level.

Hmm. I doubt it. That guy’s a class-A scumbag.

Oh, he’s a scumbag with a lot of money, okay?

Money that could get us new show shirts,

flags, hotel expenses.

He invited us to a party tonight.

Maybe you want to come? Be my arm candy?

Actually, River, I was hoping to talk to you about something.

On that note, I think I should probably go.

No, it’s--it’s cool. Stay.

Okay, you’re freaking me out! What is going on?

Amy warned you not to let him just take off like that.

I’m in control, Mom. I’m just having fun.

I’m taking the opportunity to school him, that’s all.

Okay, Sprite.

Let’s try a natural obstacle.

Georgie, are you kidding me?

We have a lot of ground to make up,

and it’s not gonna happen if you keep getting distracted.

Nice job, Sprite!

Okay, you happy now?

Good.

Good boy!

I think he gets so excited about the jumps,

he forgets I’m on his back.

And we are officially dead last.

I haven’t had this much fun on a horse since Phoenix.

And the best part is, is no crazy owner

can sell Sprite from under me.

Wow. You sound like you were more unhappy

at that new barn than you let on.

No, just... it was time to move on.

Time for a new partnership.

Now she picks up the pace.

That’s why I’m out here

at the Stride for a Cure endurance Race.

But y all know I will take any opportunity

to show off Aria’s Best.

These Aria Western trousers are fabulous,

and they have enough stretch to ride.

Plus, these rose details? Hand-embroidered.

Finished it off with the Aria fringe necklace.

Are you sponsored by Aria?

What was your first clue?

So is this just, like, another photo op,

sort of like the Calgary Tower?

No, actually.

My mom passed away from cancer three years ago.

I’m sorry.

Everybody at Stride were lovely.

They helped me pay for hotel rooms...

got my mom hot meals when she needed

a break from hospital food.

Were you two close?

Very.

She was the one that got me my first riding lessons.

Dad was a deadbeat, so it was just the two of us, but...

she was my compass.

Yeah, she still is, I guess.

Um, every big decision I...

am faced with, I mentally ask...

what would Mom say?

Sorry. - No, don’t be sorry.

You know, I lost my mom when I was 15.

I’ve been living without her

longer than I was with her.

It still hurts.

Oof.

Do you still miss her? I mean, um...

That was not the right question.

I think I mean...

Does it get easier?

Yes.

And yes.

I think about her every day.

And... especially on days

when Lindy is being a challenge.

Lindy? Can’t imagine how.

Okay, so that’s

why your ex-agent actually came to see you?

Yeah, he’s the one...

And you decided to tell me in public, so what?

So I wouldn’t cause a scene? Like...

No, Riv, I was hoping you’d be excited for me.

This could be the best thing to happen to me

since getting scouted for the first time.

Yeah, I am happy for you, Dex, okay?

If this is what you want, then I want that for you, too,

but, like...

I would have liked to be included in the decision.

I mean, it feels like you intentionally didn’t tell me.

I didn’t want to stress you out.

Or maybe did you not want to face what this means

for our relationship? - No!

Baby, I wasn’t even thinking about our relationship.

Right. You didn’t even think about it.

That came out wrong.

When I had to decide to move to Calgary

to be closer to school or to stay in Hudson,

I involved you.

I considered you.

You’re right.

I’m wrong. I’m sorry.

Maybe we’re not on the same page.

We are on the same page! Just stay.

- We can talk about this. - No, I don’t want to talk!

Okay? I’m too angry.

I’m gonna say something that I’ll regret.

Katie and I, we’re gonna go to this party tonight,

and we’re gonna get a sponsor for the Wilds, and...

you and I can just... figure things out tomorrow.

Georgie!

Yeah, what’s wrong?

When was the last time you saw a trail marker?

Uh, I don’t know, like half an hour ago?

GPS won’t load.

I have a feeling that we went the wrong way.

Oh, jeez.

Yeah.

We got to go back the way we came.

Find that marker.

Isn’t there a way we can just keep going

and get back on course later on?

That would be called cheating.

All right, if we go back now,

we’re going to lose at least an hour.

Yeah, but we’ll finish.

And at this point, that’s all I care about.

Come on, pick up the pace.

Are you sure you don’t want to talk about it?

I’m sorry.

I just...

I didn’t feel it was right to go behind Dex’s back

and tell you until he was ready.

I don’t blame you, Katie.

You were in a terrible position,

and it was absolutely Dex’s information to share.

I guess I wanted to know how he felt about me,

and now I do.

- Here you go. - Thank you.

You’re welcome.

Hey. Contraband?

Ah, thank you.

You waiting for a call?

Uh, just, uh, Nathan’s in Wyoming,

and we keep missing each other, so...

Could I see a photo of the elusive cowboy

that won your heart?

Yes.

Huh.

Not really the reaction I was expecting.

No, sorry. I just, I--I realized

I’ve actually seen him before.

Oh?

I follow this pretty awesome cowgirl named Emma Carter.

Nathan’s shown up on her feed a couple times.

Emma Carter. He’s mentioned a...

Carter before, I just assumed it was a guy.

Definitely not a guy.

I mean, it’s not like he hasn’t mentioned her before.

He talks about Carter all the time.

All the time?

Well, like a normal amount, I guess.

I shouldn’t have shown you.

But you did.

How well do you know her, this Emma?

I’ve met her once, IRL.

Other than that, I just follow her on socials.

Does she have a boyfriend?

Tends to have a new guy every season.

Which, I mean, hey, I get it, girl.

Zero judgment.

So what, you just thought that Nathan was, like,

the next... cowboy of the month?

It’s not real.

Like, this?

It’s all for the cameras. It doesn’t mean anything.

You don’t strike me as the jealous type.

No, I’m not... normally. I...

It’s just other people are gonna think what you did.

That’s why you brought it up, right?

There’s the marker.

Finally!

Mom, there’s no way we’re finishing this race.

We haven’t even reached the midway point.

Well, we’re not giving up,

if that’s what you’re suggesting.

I so knew something like this was gonna happen.

Like what? What do you mean?

Just...

that a lot of your ideas tend to go off the rails?

You haven’t taken this race seriously since we got here!

Mom, the only reason I’m here is for you!

Because Katie is worried about you.

Worried? Why?

Because you’re doing that thing where you spiral

and take up a bunch of new projects

instead of facing the actual issue.

The actual issue? What issue?

I think you’re scared of what life’s gonna look like

when Katie goes off to university.

Why did you say when? Did she say something to you?

You know what? Here I was thinking you wanted

to spend some time with me.

You know, and that maybe you’d be a little bit proud

of what Stetson and I are trying to do.

So Katie tells me River isn’t too happy.

Oh.

No offense, but I don’t really want

one of your famous...

follow-your-gut, be-all-you-can-be,

love-is-a-battlefield speeches right now.

Well, I’m glad you said so,

because I had a real doozy all ready to go.

I’m sure you did.

I really messed up.

I should have talked to her sooner.

So what stopped you?

I didn’t want any more opinions

about what I should do.

My mind’s already made up.

So did you ever call that clinic,

talk to a consultant yourself?

No.

Hayden’s been keeping me informed.

He’s gonna pay for it, by the way.

Then, I’ll pay him back with my player’s salary.

Dex, if this surgery isn’t successful,

that is a mountain of debt to take on.

You’ll be digging yourself out for decades.

But if it is successful, I can pay him back

in a couple seasons.

I like my odds.

Your odds are 50-50 that you stay exactly the same.

This treatment isn’t foolproof.

In fact, some patients are worse off.

Vertigo, headaches.

It’s rare, but not impossible.

- Did you call the clinic? - I did, yes.

I wanted to know the facts and the risks.

And I want you to know the facts and the risks.

I’m not saying you should or shouldn’t do this, Dex.

Truly.

But could be you’re laying both your hockey

and your bull riding future on the line here.

But Hayden’s right.

What wouldn’t I do to get hockey back?

Isn’t the scarier road the one where I don’t

at least try to get back the thing I love?

Why would the universe give me this, like,

miracle of an opportunity

if I wasn’t supposed to do something with it?

Sounds like a decision made.

I’m sorry.

You know nothing about our relationship.

I know it must be built on an amazing level of trust.

It is. And he’s earned it.

Okay, well, the thing is, I am the jealous type.

I’m jealous of what you and Nathan have.

My last boyfriend cheated on me with my best friend.

I’m sorry. That’s awful.

Even good people cheat on good people.

It happens and it sucks,

especially if you don’t see it coming.

That’s where I’m coming from, I guess.

If Nathan had feelings for someone else, he would tell me.

He’s had a tough past, too,

and he wouldn’t betray me like that.

You know, I am so tired of other people just

projecting their relationship damage onto us.

- Hey, Lisa. - Hi, honey.

You can probably start packing up.

We’re just waiting for three riders to cross the finish line.

Yeah, number seven just went by a little while ago,

but we haven’t seen Lou or Georgie cross yet.

I know. I noticed that. I don’t like it.

They should have checked in with you by now.

Okay. Um, how about I take Shadow out?

And if you hear from them, just let me know.

All right.

I totally lost track of the remaining riders.

Me too. Okay.

Well, um, you stay here in case we miss them,

and, uh, let me know if you see them.

You got it!

Are we carpooling or something?

I wanted it to be a surprise,

but Chet said he’d send us a limo.

Oh, but his ranch is, like, 10 minutes away.

Yeah, we’re not going to his ranch!

We’re going to his hunting lodge,

and it’s further north.

He doesn’t want us driving in the dark.

Okay, yeah, but we’ll also be

stuck in the middle of nowhere without a ride.

He said he’d have the car take us back whenever we want.

Oh, come on! This isn’t seriously worrying you?

I just, I don’t love the idea of having to rely

on Chet to get home.

Come on, please!

I feel like it would be rude to turn it down at this point.

Come on! - Okay.

Yeah, I guess.

Thank you.

Hey...

What’s wrong?

Whoa.

You okay, Shadow?

Got a rock in your foot, buddy?

No, you blew the whole shoe.

Okay, come on, let’s hurry, go find it.

Where is it?
