Previously, on "Heartland"...

- [neighing] - Oh!

- Who's this? - Name's Blue.

I figured we could use another horse around here

with some cow sense.

[neighing] Ah!

Thought I'd introduce myself.

Sam Langston, I just bought Big River Ranch.

- What happened to Gerald? - They sold them that place last year.

Well, I think he realized he was in over his head with the property.

He was pretty eager to sell.

You know, I can't help but notice you have a few new horses out here.

Ah... there's a few.

[Jack] Hey there, Blue. [neighing]

My name is Jack,

nice to meet you.

[laughing]

[soft music]

You're something else, Blue. That's what you are,

you're something else.

Great, got him all warmed up for me.

- You're not riding Blue. - Well, yeah, I'm...

I'm giving Champ a rest today, so yeah, I'm riding him.

No, no, no, probably better you take Buddy.

- Blue can be a lot to handle. - What are you saying?

What, I can't ride Blue? I can't handle him?

Come on, I've handled tougher horses than this.

Fine, if you think you're up for it, be my guest.

Come on!

♪♪

Come on, boy.

Good morning, boys.

Hey!

What are you guys up to?

Sam here is donating some hay to rodeo school.

That's nice of you, Sam.

It's no big deal, plus I got way more here

than these guys will ever eat. [laughing]

You know, some of these horses...

are pretty young to be turned out to pasture.

Yeah, they probably should be doing something other

than nibbling on hay all day.

I bet I could turn a few of them into rodeo horses.

- Seriously? - Yeah. I mean, that guy over there,

he's a good candidate.

His name is Hawk.

Andre Dawson's nickname.

He was my favourite baseball player when I was a kid.

It's a good name.

But Caleb's right, he's kinda built like a rope horse.

We happen to be looking for a few of those at the rodeo school.

Do you mind if I give it a shot?

Sure. It'll be fun watching you try.

Oh, no, no, this ain't free entertainment.

If I can do it, you owe me lunch.

You got it.

Before you get on him, there's a few things you should know.

I'll figure them out. [laughing]

Just listen to me, it ain't that easy.

Jack, it's not my first rodeo, literally.

Okay.

You asked for it.

Well, he's broke.

Looks like he knows how to get under himself.

Hawk seems to have taken a liking to Mr. Odell.

It's gonna be a piece of cake,

which I'm gonna have after you buy me that lunch.

The proof is in the pudding! [laughing]

Ooh, pudding! I'm gonna have that too, I love pudding.

[laughing]

Hey, Caleb, I wouldn't do that just yet.

All horses spook a bit when you start swinging the rope,

but he'll catch on quick.

[neighing]

- [neighing] - Wow! Easy!

Wow, settle down, Blue.

- [neighing] - Easy!

Wow!

- [neighing] - Hawk, easy.

Easy, easy. Just relax. Just relax.

- Come on, Blue, easy! - Blue, relax, relax.

Come on. There you go. Easy now, easy now.

- [neighing] - Nice and easy!

Wow, wow! Wow, wow, wow!

- Easy! - [neighing]

Ah!

- [groaning] - Caleb? You all right?

- Ah! - Okay, woah.

- I knew this was a bad idea. - Oof!

You're gonna ruin my horse.

Clearly, that horse wasn't trained right.

He's fine with the right rider.

Now, you take Buddy, like I suggested in the first place.

[sigh]

[neighing] Wow, wow, wow, easy! Easy.

Oh, easy.

It's okay, it's just a rope. It can't hurt you, all right?

- Hey, are you okay? - I'm fine,

this guy is spooky, though,

not exactly an ideal quality for a roping horse.

Really? So, you're gonna give up that easy?

I'm not giving up on Hawk,

it's just gonna take a little more time than I thought.

Amy, would you... mind helping out?

Because I'd love to watch somebody who actually knows what they're doing.

I would be happy to.

Ow! That's... where I fell. [laughing]

And my mom, you should see the way she acts on the phone.

I mean, she keeps showing all the awesome views

of the ocean or the mountains, or...

people roller-skating in neon spandex.

What's wrong with all that?

I've been to Vancouver before,

I don't need a tourism video, just talk to me.

I swear, she's so distracted lately.

The only reason she calls me is because she feels like she has to.

Come on, Katie, it's not true.

Hey, Logan!

It seems like I'm getting everyone's attention these days.

Everything okay?

Yeah. Yeah, I just got off the phone with my friend Myles, he...

bailed on our plans to celebrate grad.

- Oh, that sucks. - Mm-hmm.

Yeah, we were supposed to go rafting.

Graduation's a big deal, you have to do something.

Why don't we... go on a picnic?

Picnic? Uh... sure, I guess.

You know what would be even better?

We could go rafting with you.

Yeah? You'd be up for that?

Yeah, of course, I've always wanted to try.

Okay, I guess I could teach you.

Plus, I've already rented all the gear.

So sure, why not?

Yeah, why not?

We should have let Amy train him,

then we could lend him to hired hands like we bought him for,

but right now, nobody can get near him but you.

Where are you going with this?

I think we got to admit that this isn't working out.

- We're not getting rid of Blue. - Just hear me out, Jack.

Hear me out. Blue's got a lot of potential, okay?

Maybe he's better with one rider who he's comfortable with.

Some rancher who could make him his full-time horse

and doesn't pass him around.

This isn't about what's best for Blue,

this is about him bruising your fragile ego.

Whatever you say,

but what if the next person he throws

bruises more than my fragile ego?

We don't need that kind of trouble, you think about it.

[sigh]

- See you soon. - Bye, Logan.

River rafting, seriously?

What was wrong with my picnic idea?

Sorry, but this is way more exciting.

I'm not getting into some dingy to speed down some white water rapids.

You're not gonna come?

Do I look like I've got a death wish?

Besides, I'm sure my parents wouldn't let me go

even if I wanted to.

Yeah. I guess I will have to ask my mom.

Exactly. Can't imagine Lou's gonna love this.

Good luck with that.

And... what did you have for dinner?

Shepherd's pie, I already told you.

Right, sorry. I... What did you get up to today?

How's the start of your summer vacation going?

What are you doing, Mom?

I'm sorry, I... I just got a bunch of work e-mails dumped on me

and I have to answer a couple of them, but I'm...

I'm listening, I promise.

Okay. Well, I met up with Parker for lunch at the diner.

Oh, that sounds nice.

There was a roach in our fries.

Cool!

Yeah? That sounds good to you?

Totally.

Hey, you know, if it's not raining tomorrow,

I was thinking of maybe going rafting.

It hasn't rained here all week.

That's nice.

So, you'd be okay with me going, then?

Uh... yeah. Yeah, sure.

- Mom? - Yes?

Uh... I think I'm gonna let you go answer those e-mails,

I should get ready for bed anyways.

I'm so sorry. Uh...

I love you, don't forget to floss.

Love you too. Bye.

Oh, look at you.

You gave Tim a hard time today, why'd you do that?

[grunting]

Then again, we didn't get off to a great start either, did we?

We're friends now.

Then, the rainbow fairy knocked on the little fairy door

at the bottom of the tree, the door opened

and she couldn't believe who was standing in front of her.

Da, da, da!

- End of chapter. - Another one, please, Mama.

No, not tonight, sweetheart, it's past your bedtime.

We'll find out who was in the little fairy tree house

- tomorrow, okay? - Aw!

Come on, you go brush your teeth, get ready for bed.

Okay.

Good night, GG, love you! [chuckling]

I love you too, pumpkin. Good night.

You call me when you're ready for bed, okay, sweetheart?

[sighs]

- Horses all settled in? - Yeah, all is good there...

except we did have an incident with Blue today.

He dumped your dad.

Oh. Well, what was Dad doing riding Blue?

Oh, you know. He's trying to prove something...

then he got embarrassed and now he thinks I should sell Blue.

Well, that's not his decision.

No, but I bought that horse because...

Well, because I liked him.

And because we needed another horse

we could loan out to hired hands and...

And he's still too unpredictable for that?

Little bit.

Right now, if we paired Blue with another rider,

I'm afraid that he'd get the same treatment your dad got.

You know, I could work with him, Grandpa,

- I would be happy to. - No, no.

No. I'm the one who took him on, this one's on me.

I'll keep working with him,

see if I can get him comfortable with other riders.

Yeah.

Hum... what if it doesn't work?

And what if Blue is meant to be paired with just one rider?

I'll get him sorted.

- Okay. - I'm ready!

Okay, I'm coming, sweetheart.

- Good night. - Good night.

[neighing]

Good boy, Hawk. There's nothing to be worried about.

Why is he scared of the rope?

Well, see, that's all Caleb's fault.

Right. [laughing]

We just took things a little too quickly before,

so now, we're slowing down the process.

Good boy.

That's it, good work, Caleb.

Okay, why don't you come around? Pass me the rope.

You're sure?

No, I kinda hope you go flying through the air again.

[chuckling] Yes, I'm sure.

Good boy. Easy, Hawk. Good boy.

[indistinct whispering]

Thank you. Good job, boy.

Swing it slowly.

That's it. And when you're ready, throw it at the dummy.

Hey! What are you doing? [laughing]

Oh, you meant rope the... the steer dummy,

not the dummy, dummy. [laughing]

Don't encourage him.

You guys, look! Hawk didn't even move.

Way to go, Hawk.

Good job, Amy.

What about me? I just threw a perfect strike, ball boy.

I found us the perfect spot, Raven River, okay?

It's close by and it's got some nice slow currents

- that lead up to the rapids over here. - Rapids?

Yeah, but don't worry, we're gonna pull out

and have our picnic right here before we even hit them.

Okay, well, I hate to burst your bubble,

but I will not be joining.

And I seriously doubt Lou will let Katy go either.

- Hey! - Hey.

Great news, my mom said I can go.

- This is totally gonna happen. - Awesome!

- So, where are we going? - All right,

- this is called Raven River. - Okay.

- Hello! - Hey, Dad.

Hi.

Just need some milk for the loft, we're all out.

Ooh. Yeah, Grandpa's gonna love that.

Ah, he won't even notice. Hey, what's uh,

with Tweedledee and Tweedledum out there?

Caleb and I are training one of Sam's horses to be a rope horse.

- Really? - Mm-hmm.

We need one of those at the rodeo school.

Well, I heard that's part of the reason we're doing this.

Ah. Well, I hope Sam's not planning to get rich off that sale.

Hey, Dad, speaking of selling horses,

Grandpa says that you're pushing him to sell Blue.

- Oh, is that what Grandpa says? - Mm-hmm.

Well, it's the right thing to do.

Blue needs to be partnered with somebody who can

- work with him on the regular. - But...

this isn't what's good for Blue, Grandpa thinks that--

I know what Grandpa thinks.

I don't have a personal vendetta against Blue.

Well, whatever it is, Grandpa gentled Blue

and there's something special about that process.

He has a bond with him and he's upset about the idea of selling him.

I get it, but Blue can't do his job here.

We need a horse that can, simple as that.

No, it's not simple as that

because he's not just a ranch horse,

Blue is Grandpa's horse.

You got your mom to say yes? How? How did you do that?

She doesn't seem too concerned with what I'm up to these days.

Well, I hope you and Logan have a great time.

Jealous much?

I'm just saying, it seems like you might still have a crush.

Maybe you're the one with a crush.

Whatever.

I mean, Logan's a nice guy, but more like a cool brother.

I just want his graduation to be special.

Yeah? By doing something that doesn't include me?

I'm sorry, I forgot about your irrational fears before I blurted it out.

Irrational fears?

Do you know how many injuries and deaths there are

on the water every year?

It's like someone took a deep dive

down the Google rabbit hole last night.

Look, how about this? We meet up for a picnic at the end of the river run.

Fine. I still can't believe Lou is letting you go rafting.

- What happened to taking things slow? - Well, I mean...

Actually, we got to see what he can do on the move, so...

I was hoping to build his confidence a little more before we got to that.

[sigh] He's had a great day,

- I think he's ready for a shot. - Oh, you do, do you?

I mean, I'll be miracle boy, but I do have some horse sense.

Okay. Well, if you're going to do this,

then please, just take it really slow.

I'm down for that.

Fire it up, Sam.

[groaning]

Wow, easy. Easy! Wow! Wow.

[groaning]

Easy, come on, we're not doing this again.

Relax, relax. Good boy.

Seems like somebody's horse sense is a little off.

[sigh]

This is just a lot of new information

for him to process all at once.

Okay, well, eventually, he just got to hit the ground and run.

Yes, Caleb, and sometimes, you need to take a step back

before you can take a step forward.

What did you have in mind?

Would guys be able to watch Lyndy for a minute?

I... think I want to take Hawk on a field trip.

Sure.

[mooing]

Well, this is a pretty smart idea,

getting that horse comfortable with...

with a few steers in a peaceful setting.

Yeah. I figured it would relieve his jitters,

help him focus on his new job. [laughing]

[mooing] You go, get back here, cow.

[mooing]

[laughing]

Attaboy, Blue. Attaboy. [laughing]

Well, I can tell why you don't want to sell that horse.

You two are like a well-oiled machine.

[laughing] Yeah.

Ah, we do pretty good together.

Your dad hasn't brought up the idea of selling,

not today, anyway. Maybe he'll give it a rest.

Yeah. Sounds just like my dad.

[laughing]

Then, we go around this bend in the river

and we end up in that clearing,

that's where we're having our picnic.

Ooh, picnic!

You make sure you keep your balance while you're paddling.

I know, I've watched a ton of YouTube videos on rafting.

- Mm. - You got a good life Jacket?

- Of course. - And a helmet?

- Yeah. - I'm actually very surprised

that Lou is letting you do this, it just doesn't seem like her.

Yeah, well... I mean, I was a little surprised too,

but I guess Mom is just getting more and more comfortable

giving me all the independence I want these days.

Okay, see you tomorrow, Russ.

Good. Russ? Who's Russ?

He's helping us out tomorrow.

We don't need an extra hand tomorrow.

Well, we're sorting heifers from steers,

it'll go better with three.

- Is this a test? - No.

To see how Blue does with another rider?

No, I'm not gonna risk a hired hand being thrown and us being sued.

Russ will ride Buddy, I'll ride Champ, you ride Blue.

All right.

[phone ringing]

Uh-oh, it's my mom.

So? Answer it.

Yeah. Be right back.

[phone ringing]

- Hi, Mom! - Hi, sweetie!

Hey, did you get those photos I sent you

from Whistler yesterday? - Uh... yeah.

Sounds like you had another epic day.

It was. Hey, where... Where are you?

Are you in a forest or something?

Uh... yeah, I'm gonna meet up with Parker and Logan for a picnic.

Fun! Close to home?

Uh... yeah. Look, can I call you back later?

Sure. Oh, actually, your dad and I are going for a hike

at Deep Cove later, but...

I don't know if we'll have reception. Maybe tonight, okay?

- Okay, bye. - All right, love you!

- Everything okay? - Yeah.

That wasn't your mom having second thoughts about us going rafting, was it?

No. She and my dad are too busy living their best life

to care about what I'm doing.

Oh, I'm glad she's on board because she kinda scares me.

You think he's ready to try roping one?

I think it seems possible.

Awesome! Okay, uh...

let's get a steer loaded in the round pen,

maybe I could take the first one.

Yeah, it'll save us from hauling your butt out of the dirt again, so...

No, you have been helping out.

[chuckling] Hardly.

I mean, it's been fun hanging out and being a small part of it,

a nice switch up from my usual routine...

- or lack of routine. - What do you mean?

Oh, nothing. It's just... you know,

I've been here for a few years now and sometimes,

it just feels like I'm watching the time creep by,

like those horses out on my field.

You still like it here though, right?

Yeah, I love it.

You know, I bought that big ranch

for some privacy and a quieter life and...

sometimes, I think maybe it's just too quiet, you know?

Like my life doesn't have much of a purpose anymore.

You need to feel a part of something again.

I hope you're not gonna suggest I host another slow pitch tournament.

No. No, no. No. Ah!

This time, I was thinking maybe I'd pull you into my sport.

What would you think about helping us out with the rodeo school?

[laughing] Yeah, right.

I... I like to watch rodeo as much as the next guy,

but I don't know any of the ins and outs.

Who cares? You played a sport at the highest level,

the kids will totally look up to you,

plus, you got a pro athlete's mindset

and you can open a gate and pull a steer dummy now.

It's actually not a horrible idea.

Jeez, thank you, Amy. [chuckling]

Maybe after lunch, we can teach you how to swing a rope.

- I'd be up for that. - Okay.

- Sure is a nice guy, isn't he? - Yeah, he is.

- What? - Nothing!

I just think it's awesome that he feels safe with you

and he opens like that, like back there, it's...

Can you not be such a subtle matchmaker there, cowboy?

In all fairness, I've actually done very well in that department.

Single-handedly responsible for getting Lou and Peter back together.

No, that's a bit of a stretch.

And when it comes to me and my personal life,

can you curb any urge to play cowboy cupid?

- Yes, ma'am. - Thank you.

- How is it? - Good!

You know, I know what it's like.

What what's like?

My mom died when I was really young and so,

it was just my dad trying to make a better life for me,

but... [sigh]

All I really wanted was his time.

Instead, he was always off working odd jobs

and when he wasn't working,

he was getting caught up in these get rich quick schemes that...

well, finally landed him in prison.

And here I am, complaining about my life.

I'm not comparing, it's just...

[sigh] I really shut him out

and I don't want to see you do that to your parents,

because the truth is...

if I could, I wish I'd tried harder with him

when I still had the chance.

[groaning] Yeah!

Getting the circular motion down.

Just a little further out to your right, about your shoulder.

Yeah. And now, when you aim at your target,

you want to release at the end of your extension

but I've had a gut instinct about Blue

ever since I started working with him and...

Well, I've made a decision.

I agree that Heartland Beef should sell him.

- Really? - Yeah.

To me.

For the same amount I paid Stumpy for him

in the first place.

There you go.

- 100 bucks? - Yeah.

Hey, just be thankful I'm not charging the company

for all the work I put into him.

You should have seen her, Caleb.

Amy was as cool as the other side of the pillow,

threw the perfect rope.

[chuckling] You didn't do so bad yourself. That current was strong,

those kids were lucky you were there to help them out.

Seems like you guys make a pretty good team, uh?

So... what's with the trailer?

Oh, uh... Amy and I... Well, mostly Amy,

she trained Sam's horse, Hawk, to be a roping horse.

Hum, yeah, I heard that was in the works.

Ah, he's exactly what you're looking for.

So, he got what it takes, Amy?

Yeah, he's pretty green, but he's got all the tools.

All right. Well, I just happen to have...

some spare cash. [chuckling]

Yeah. Yeah, I don't know a lot about roping horses,

but I know they're worth more than that.

I'll write you a check when we get back to the rodeo school.

Yeah, about your rodeo school,

I'd like to help out once in a while on a voluntary basis if I could.

Well, that actually might be a deal I don't lose money on.

Any time, Sam.

Caleb, why don't you load him up?

- You got it. - Nice work, you guys.

You too.

So, you and Amy are getting along pretty good, uh?

Yeah, I like to think of Amy as a pretty good friend.

And... maybe a little more?

Come on, man, don't make things awkward.

Like I said, we're just friends.

- All right. - I think I'm losing my touch.

That was so scary.

I thought you guys were gonna get sucked under that tree

- and never come back up. - Well, we're safe now.

And thanks for making those calls, you rocked.

And I'm sorry I messed up with the turn-off,

- I should have been-- - Stop apologizing.

If you hadn't pulled me back onto that tree...

- Well, that was all you. - No, it wasn't.

And getting me to breathe... really helped calm me down.

Well, I'm glad because on the inside,

I was totally freaking out too. I mean, it felt like...

you know, it felt like we were on the grips of like a river monster

that was pulling us down or something.

That's exactly what it felt like.

All I could think about was how much my arms were burning,

but that I couldn't let go or I'd never come back up.

Did Parker just leave? What's up with that?

So, that was quite the crazy stunt you two pulled today.

The rapids, what were you thinking?

I'm sorry, GG.

The worst part is you shouldn't have been out there rafting at all,

- not without your mom's permission. - Wait, what?

I mean, I told her when we talked.

I guess it's possible she wasn't listening, but...

Or it's possible you took advantage of the situation.

Anyway, it's not even me you need to worry about.

[phone ringing]

Oh, I wonder who that could be.

I think I'm... gonna go check on Parker.

Are you taking him out again? After all that excitement today?

Oh, yeah, he's still a little restless from all that.

Just a short ride to... cool him off.

You know, you guys were pretty incredible at the river today.

Well, we're a good team, aren't we, Blue?

[groaning]

He's not going anywhere.

Your dad tried to run an end round on me today.

Turns out his heart might actually be in the right place.

But Blue and I...

We forged a special kinship,

the kind that doesn't come around that often.
