Heartland (2007–…): Season 10, Episode 7 - Riding Shotgun - full transcript

Amy helps Lou form a connection with a new horse. A crisis at the wildlife reserve bring Georgie and Adam together. When Jack faces a deadly threat it prompts Mitch to open up about his past.

Amy: Previously on "Heartland"...

Georgie: It might be nice
to have some space, you know,

give us a chance to miss
each other a little.

- Right. Okay.

(Camera clicks)
- Adam, hey.

I thought you would be
at the Science Centre.

- And I thought you wanted space.
I didn't think that meant ditching me

to hang out with him
for the whole weekend.

- You should get one.

- A horse?
- Yeah, a horse.

What woman lives on a ranch,
doesn't own her own horse?



(Fishing line whips)

Lou, I think you should go.
(Water sloshes)

- What?
- I came up here to be alone

and I don't know
why you can't respect that.

(Chain clinks)

- I'm sorry. This is obviously
a mistake.

(Soft music)

it's your love ♪

(Truck rumbles)



(Bottles clink)

- You planning on checking
on the cattle?

- Yup. Mitch and I are headin'
out as soon as he gets here.

- Yeah, where is he, anyway?
He wasn't at the dude ranch.

- Said he had somethin'
he had to do.

- You know, I told Lisa to put him
on a strict schedule.

Shouldn't you be keeping better
tabs on him?

- Don't need to, Lou.
He'll be along.

- Yeah, but he can't just show up
whenever he wants, Grandpa.

There are things I need to get done
before I leave for New York tomorrow.

- Come on, Lou.
He's a good hand.

You're getting plenty
of bang for your buck,

if that's what
you're worried about.

- (Sighs) I know, I'm just
feeling stressed, that's all.

- Ah, you don't say.

- I have a lot of ducks to get
lined up before I take off.

- Chance one of those ducks
is named Peter?

- Don't remind me.

- I'm drawing Mommy a special
picture to take with her.

- That's nice.

- Abraham said there's lots of big apples
where Mommy's going.

- (Chuckles) Actually, New York
is called "The Big Apple."

(Phone beeps)

(Sighs)

- What's wrong, Georgie?

- Adam's busy, again.

It's like he's trying
to avoid me.

- But I thought he was
your boyfriend?

- (Sighs heavily)

So did I.

(Truck rumbles)

- Just who I was looking for.

- Yeah, I, uh, want to talk
to you too.

So, uh, you're... you're
headin' out tomorrow.

Lou: Yeah, just 24 more hours

'til you can start having
50 percent more fun.

- Ouch. You know
I didn't mean that, right?

Lou, about the other day
at the river--

Lou: I don't really have time for that,
Mitch, and you know what, neither do you,

because I have a bunch of things
I need done at the dude ranch

if you have time in your busy schedule.
- What's that supposed to mean?

- None of us knew where
you were this morning, okay?

Grandpa was waiting for you
to go to the summer pasture.

- Uh, you ever hear of one
of these things?

(Door shuts)
I told Jack I was gonna be late.

It's not like I was slacking off.

Besides, I got you a surprise.

- For me?
(Latch clanks)

(Taxi rumbles)

(Hooves clop)

- Found you the perfect horse.

Her name's Venus.

- (Grunts)
(Door shuts)

- You don't like her?
- No, no, no, I, I do.

You bought me a horse?

Mitch, she's... beautiful.

Peter.
Peter: Hey.

- Hi.
- Nice lookin' horse.

- Yeah, it's just a horse.
It doesn't matter.

It doesn't mean anything.

- (Bemused chuckle) Okay.
Katie: Daddy!

Peter: Hey, hey, hey! Awl

(Grunts with effort)

Oh, it's so good to see you!
Georgie: So glad you're back!

- Hmm, good to see you too!
What are you doin'?

What are you doin'
to get so big, huh?

- He bought me a horse?

(Theme song)

♪ And at the break of day
you sank into your dream ♪

♪ You dreamer
Oh, oh, oh, oh ♪

♪ You dreamer ♪

♪ You dreamer ♪

(Gate clanks)

- Well, what do you think?
Will she do?

- I don't know what to say.

-I, uh, I should get going.
Jack's waitin' on me.

- Okay.

- But, uh, why, why don't you
take her out while I'm gone?

You know, let me know
what you think,

and then maybe
when I get back, um...

(Gate clanks)

Maybe we can talk.

- Talk? Yeah. I think that's...

that's a really good idea.

- Great.

(Door opens and closes)

- What was all that about?
- What was all what about?

- Out front with that Mitch guy.

- Nothing. I was just going
over things I want done

at the dude ranch
while I'm gone.

Hey, Peter, you know,
we should probably talk

about some things
at some point.

- Sure. Talk right now.
(Door shuts)

- Hey, Peter.
- Hey! Whoa, look at you!

Holy smokes!

- Yeah. (Sighs tiredly)
- How're ya feelin'?

- Great, actually,
except that I'm always hungry.

- Amy--
- Lou, where are those muffins you made--

- You ate the last one this morning.
- Are you sure?

Lou: Uh-huh.
Amy: You're kidding me.

Peter, are you okay here for a minute?
I need to talk to Amy for a sec.

- Yeah, yeah, I got this.
- Just about pregnancy stuff.

- Okay.

- He bought you a horse?

- I know, right? It's crazy!

- Where is this coming from?
- Mitch and I were talking

and he said he doesn't get
how I can live on a ranch

and not own a horse of my own.

- So, what, you asked him
to buy you one?

- No, Amy, of course not. I...

I think it's sort
of an apology.

- What for?

- Mitch was being a real jerk
at the river the other day.

I think this is his way
of making up for it.

- I don't know. Seems like
an awfully big apology.

Lou: Well, he's obviously
trying to send me a message.

I mean, her name is Venus, right?
The Goddess of Love.

What do you think I should do?

- Well, if you have time,

I think that we should see
if you two are a match.

I'm talking about you
and the horse.

- You want something else,
honey?

- No, no, I'm just not hungry.

- Everything all right?
- Georgie has boy problems.

- You have ballet. Why don't you go
and get yourself ready, okay, please?

- Okay.
- Thanks, honey.

(Receding footsteps)

- Is that true?

- No, uh, it's nothing.

- I'm guessing it's about Adam.

- Yeah. We're not really talking.
I think I kinda messed things up.

- What happened?

- Well, I asked for space and he gave it to
me and now I haven't seen him in days.

- Needing space is not a bad thing.

- Yeah, but now I really miss him.

I, I wish I hadn't said anything.

Maybe I'm just not good
at relationships.

- You were honest with him.
You told him what you needed.

That's...

You did the right thing, sweetheart.
There's nothing wrong with that.

You're wondering about taking
relationship advice from me.

- No, no.
- Well, I don't blame you.

I tell you what I do know,

is that there is no magic formula
for making a relationship work.

There isn't,

but just talking helps.
- But he's avoiding me.

He doesn't ever want to come
over or be around me.

- Well, then you just find a
way to get yourself around him.

- You have to admit,
it's pretty flattering, right?

I mean, Mitch obviously kept
thinking about our conversation.

He said I needed a horse,

so he went out and did
something about it.

I'm sorry. You know, I just
keep going on and on about me

when I should be...

Oh my God! I completely forgot.

Today was your mid-term
ultrasound, right?!

So? Am I getting
a niece or nephew?

- I didn't ask.
- Why not?

- 'Cause I'm not sure I want to know.
- O-kay.

Well, you might want
to reconsider that, Amy,

because knowing ahead of time
makes planning a lot easier.

And, hey, did you look
at that link I sent you

for the prenatal class?
- No, not yet.

- Amy!

You're gonna have to do that,

'cause Margo's classes
fill up really fast.

Amy: Okay, Lou, enough!
(Venus snorts loudly)

- Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Amy: Lou!

You okay?
- Yeah, I'm fine.

But I have no idea
what just happened!

Jack and Mitch: Yip! Yip!

Mitch: (Clicks tongue) Ha!

- You know, I've been meanin'
to clear the air

about somethin' Tim said.

- Tim's had a lot to say,
but I assume you're talkin' about

how he figures I'm using Georgie
to get close to Lou?

- Well, I want you to know
I never agreed with Tim's take on that.

- I'm glad to hear you say that, Jack,
because there's nothin' to it.

Georgie, she's just a good kid.
Period.

- Well, I have to agree
with you on that.

- But?

- Well, I'm just gonna
come out and ask ya:

is there somethin' goin'
on between you and Lou?

Now if you said to me it's hone
of my business, you'd be right.

- Lou's an amazing woman and I...

I can't deny that there
was something there, but...

it’s all in the past.
It's too complicated.

- Huh, ain't that the truth.

(Birds caw loudly)

Mitch: What do you think
that's all about?

- I don't know.

(Clicks tongue) Get up.

- Who's this? I saw Mitch
drop her off.

- Her name's Venus.

- Yeah, Mitch thought I was
looking for a horse

so he dropped her off
for me to check out.

- That's cool. So, are you?

- Am I what?

- Looking for a horse?
- Oh, no, I'm not.

Maybe.

I don't know. I'm not sure.

- Well, is there something
wrong with her?

- I tried to ride her...
- She was just really skittish.

- Well, it's not because
she's in any pain.

She checks out medically.

There must be somethin' else
going on with her.

I guess that's where you come in.
- (Chuckles)

- She seems pretty calm now.

Lou: Yeah, she does,
doesn't she?

Amy: Well, thanks
for coming out, Scott.

I just wanted to rule out
anything physical first.

Scott: Ah, no problem.

I was on my way to
the wildlife reserve anyway.

- Is one of the animals sick?

- No, I'm just keepin' an eye
on the place for Bob.

- I thought that Bob had a guy looking
after things while he was away.

- Well, he did, but the guy
flaked off so--

- You know, I might be able
to help.

I volunteer at the wildlife
reserve sometimes,

you know, feed, water the animals.

Actually, I, I might be able
to have someone tag along.

Scott: Well, that sounds great.

Uh, if you're free,
I'll be there this afternoon.

- Can I?
- It's fine by me.

- Thanks, Scott.

- Yeah. Guess we'll see
ya later. See ya.

(Buttons click on phone)

Mitch: Hep! Ha!
(Clicks tongue)

(Cows moo)

Jack: Get over! Get over!
(Cows moo)

- Hey!

Is that a calf?

- Yeah, what's left of one,
anyway.

(Flies buzz)
- What do you think did that?

- Well, I've been hearin' that coyote
attacks are up in this area.

That's why I came prepared.

(Sighs) Damn it.

(Flies buzz)

- Hey, Dad, can I get a ride?!

(Hooves thud)
- (Clicks tongue)

(Clicks tongue)
(Hooves thud)

- How’s it goin'?

- Good. She seems focused
and relaxed now.

Whoa. Good girl.

I think it's time you two
gave it another try.

You up for it?

(Llama bleats)

(Car turns off)
(Keys clink)

Peter: I'm impressed.
You're a really good driver.

- Thanks, Dad.

- Hey!

Adam: Hello, Mr. Morris.

- Hey.

Peter: Oh, Scott.
- Peter.

- How are ya?
- Very good.

- All right.
- Thank you for comin'.

- Yeah, absolutely.
They're all yours.

- Let's go, guys.

(Pig snorts)

- This is Petunia.

- A pot-bellied pig?

- She's adorable!

- Yeah, she just arrived
an hour ago.

I haven't even had a chance
to examine her yet.

- Is she friendly?

- Oh yeah. She is a family pet.

- Seriously?

- Apparently, her former family

even used that leash
to take her for walks.

- How can someone
give up their pet?

- They had to move away.

They tried to look for a new
home, but they ran out of time.

- That's so sad.
(Pig snorts)

(Cows moo)
Jack: Keep 'em comin'!

Mitch: All right!
(Clicks tongue) Come on!

(Calf moans)

Jack: This calf's had somethin'
nipping at his heels!

(Cows moo)

- Hey, Jack!
(Cows moo)

Come here!

(Hooves thud)

(Cows moo)

- Yeah, this one wasn't so lucky.

Mitch: Coyotes are pretty
territorial.

Jack: It actually could be
wolves from the look of that.

Mitch: What's the plan?

Jack Well, there's no choice.
(Gun clicks)

Get rid of 'em.

Let's go.

Scott: Okay, I'll leave now.

See you soon.
(Door shuts)

Sorry, guys, I gotta go.
- What's up?

- I gotta make a field call.

I might be gone a while.
You guys'll be okay?

- We've worked here
oh our own before.

- Well, you won't be able
to reach me,

so if anything comes up...

you can use the phone in the cabin
to call Cass at the clinic.

(Keys clink)
(Animals mew)

- Pretty cool we get to work here
for the afternoon on our own.

- We should get to work.

- You two got off to a rough start,

but it looks like
you're starting to build a bond.

- (Chuckles)
- What's so funny?

- Well, it's like me and Mitch.

Talk about a rough start,

but I guess now he's having
second thoughts.

- And what about you? I thought
you wanted to be on your own for a bit.

- Yeah, so did I, but...

now I'm not so sure.

-I get it. It's like Ty.
I told him to go

and now I'm really missing him.

It gets a little bit harder
every day.

- Honestly, I don't know why
you agreed

to this whole Mongolia thing
in the first place.

- It's better now than later,
right?

This part I can handle
on my own,

but once the baby comes

that's gonna be a whole
different story.

- How are you doing with that
baby book I gave you?

- My reading's kinda
fallen off.

- Well, pick it up again, Amy!

Knowing what's going on in your own body

will help you feel
more confident and in control.

- Yeah, maybe knowing what's
going on in your own brain

will help you feel more
confident and in control.

- Yeah, you're right.

I have my own mess to sort out.

Hey, Venus?

- Well, you two seem fine on the ground,
let's get you in the saddle.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
- (Chuckles) Okay.

- I read that pigs
are really smart.

- Yeah. I think they're
the fourth

smartest animal group
on the planet.

- Do you think she misses
her human family?

- Yeah. Pot-bellies
are affectionate.

They get pretty attached,

and despite appearances,

they're actually really clean.

- Adam, look, okay--

-The llamas are next.
We should go.

- Careful or you'll get covered
in spit again.

- Don't remind me.

(Llamas mew)

- I know you've been
avoiding me.

- Just trying to give
you some space.

- I'm sorry about the whole
archery thing.

- It's just.. we had plans.

You said you wanted to go

and then you bailed
at the last minute.

That hurt my feelings.

- Believe it or not I was actually trying
not to hurt your feelings.

- I know we don't like all the same
things. I'm sure if you didn't see the inside

of a science centre again,
you'd be okay with that.

- Yeah, and you just don't want
to start trick riding,

but isn't it okay if we do
our own things

and still do a lot of other
stuff together?

I really miss hanging out
with you.

- What about that Clay guy?

- He was just there
dropping stuff off!

He saw the archery
and wanted to try it.

It was all about Jade anyway!

He even stopped to take
a stupid selfie for her.

So, are we okay?

- Yeah, we're fine.

So what mutually agreed upon
shared activity do you feel like doing now?

- Do you want to go take
Petunia for a walk?

- (Chuckles)

Yeah, let's go.

- This is a good spot to keep
an eye out for 'em.

(Foliage rustles underfoot)

I'm gonna head down
to these trees

and I'll call 'em from there.

- You can make predator calls?

- I'm not bad if I do say so myself.
- Well, let's see whatcha got.

(Gun clatters)
- Just be ready.

(Truck rumbles)
- (Exhales nervously)

- Okay, how are you feelin'?
- So far so good.

- (Chuckles)
(Door shuts)

- Hey, Lou?
- Hey.

- Just headin' into town
to pick up Katie soon, but uh...

I got a couple minutes now
if you want to talk.

-Now? I, I, I can't 'cause...

Amy needs help with this horse.
- (Sighs)

- Okay. Later it is.

- (Whispers) I know!
I panicked!

(Truck door opens and closes)

- All right.

(Truck starts up)
Let's give this a try.

(Hooves thud)
(Truck rumbles)

Just go easy.
(Clicks tongue)

- Whoa!
Amy: Lou, slow down!

- Whoa! Whoa, whoa!
Venus, stop!

Whoa!
- Whoa.

Lou: Whoa! Whoa!
Amy: Lou, hey!

- Okay, that's it!

Venus clearly has
a problem with me!

Maybe it's a sign!

- A sign? What kind of sign?

- Well obviously we're not a good match,
Amy, so maybe Mitch and I aren't either!

- This is not about you and Mitch, Lou!
This is about you and the horse!

You guys just need time!

- You know what, Amy,
we don't all have time like you

to just sit back and watch
how the world unfolds!

- What are you talking about?
- I'm talking about your pregnancy!

- Oh, don't turn this around on me!
- No, no!

Amy, you are not the least bit prepared!
- No, Lou, stop!

- Do you even have a birth plan?
- No. I don't know.

I was thinking maybe
I'd give birth at home.

- Amy, you can't give birth in a barn!
Are you crazy?!

Do you know what I would
have given

to have been in a hospital
when Katie was born?!

- I'm the one having the baby, okay,
so this decision is mine and Ty's!

- Yeah, that's right.

That requires you to actually
make a decision though, Amy,

and so far, I'm shocked
by how few you've made!

- Maybe I haven't made enough
decisions, but neither have you!

(Pig snorts and wheezes)
Georgie: I don't get. Why didn't she eat?

Adam: I don't know.
Pigs have a big appetite. It's weird.

- Whoa. What's up with her breathing?

- Not sure.

She doesn't look very good.
Something's definitely wrong.

(Pig wheezes and strains)
Georgie: I'll call Cass!

(Phone beeps)

Cass, hi, it's Georgie.

We've got a pig at the reserve
here and we think she's sick.

She's not eating
and her breathing's all off.

She's really wheezing.
(Pig wheezes and snorts)

Okay, well how fast
can you get here?

Okay. Okay, yeah, we'll get
her there as soon as possible.

Thanks. Bye.

Cass thinks Petunia might have
swallowed something and it got stuck.

- So why isn't she coming?
- She can't. She's got surgery!

(Pig wheezes and strains)
She says she could be in a lot of pain.

She could even die!

We need to get Petunia
to the clinic now!

- How?

-Um...

Bob's truck! The keys are in the cabin.

I'll drive.
- You only have your Learner's!

- I know I only have my Learner's,
but the clinic isn't that far!

(Metallic clank)
Where are the cabin keys?!

Last time I had them was
when we fed Petunia.

What if they fell into her pen?

What if she swallowed them?

Oh my God!

Petunia's sick because of me.

- No one is answering!

It's up to us.
We've gotta do this.

Adam: What are you doing?

Georgie?
(Window rattles)

Georgie!

- (Sighs)

- Got 'em. Let's go!
(Door shuts)

(Pig squeals)

You okay? She looks heavy.
- Don't worry I got it.

Open the tailgate.

No, no! What are you doing?!
She's sick!

Put her in the front with me.
Come on!

- Okay.

- It's okay.
- You got it?

- Yeah, I got her.
Just get in.

(Pig squeals)
I know.

(Truck starts up)

(Pig squeals)

(Tires crunch on gravel)

- Hey.

- Hey.

What's that?

- Peace offering.

- You made more?

(Gate clanks)

(Chuckles)

- These are a healthier version.
I used maple syrup instead of sugar--

- Oh, Lou, just let me enjoy this, please.

- I shouldn't have blown up
at you like that,

but you do need to get better
prepared, Amy.

- I know.

I'm just not as excited about
doing baby stuff without Ty.

- And I get that, but I worry.

You know, pregnancy
is a crap shoot,

and the more that you can do
when you're up to it the better.

And really, I'm just sorry that
I'm not here to help out more.

- Hey, hm-hm. You've got
a lot going on yourself.

- Yeah.

You know, I still haven't told Peter
about this new Maggie's deal.

This Mitch thing has really
thrown me off.

Georgie asked me if I want this
horse, and I think I do.

Argh, you're right, my head's a mess.

- Honestly? I think that's why
you're not connecting with Venus.

- Come on, Amy.
- No, I do.

- Well, a big part of me does want to see
where things go with Mitch,

but I'm leaving again, and
I have the girls to think about,

and Grandpa, he likes having
Mitch around.

So what if things don't work out
between us?

- See there's your head
talking again.

Maybe you should listen
to your heart.

(Truck rumbles)

- We'll only take
the back roads, promise.

- There are no back roads
in Hudson!

- It'll be okay.
I drove here today.

My dad said I was a good driver.

(Pig squeals quietly)

(Birds chirp)
(Grass rustles)

(Thunder rumbles)

- (Squeaking sounds)

(Thunder rumbles)

(Squeaking sounds)

(Whispers) Stay ready!
(Menacing grow)

(Vicious growl)
(Gun clicks)

(Vicious growl)

(Vicious growl)

(Vicious growl)

Jack: (Whispers loudly)
Shoot him!

(Vicious growl)
- (Heavy breathing)

Jack Come on, Mitch!

(Thunder booms)

(Shaky breathing)

(Thunder rumbles)

What the hell?!
He was standin' right there!

- I know. I...

I'm sorry, Jack. I just...

I just, I froze.
- Yeah, no kiddin'.

(Gun clatters)

- Thing is I haven't touched
a gun since Afghanistan.

- Yeah, well...

It's probably for the best.

Georgie wouldn't have
forgiven me, so...

What happened over there?

- Uh, Zack and I,
we served together.

- Zack? You've mentioned him.
Your cousin.

- Well, he was more like
a brother, really.

- I take it he didn't make it back.

- No, he did.
(Horse whinnies)

But um...

- What happened?

- He shot himself.

(Truck rumbles)

(Pig wheezes)
- See? I told you it'd be fine.

- Oh, no, no, that's my dad!
It's a roadblock!

- Come on in. Right here.

Well, look who it is.
License, please.

- Hey! How was ballet?

- It was awesome!

Peter: Apparently the best.

Oh, my gosh.

I can't believe these actually fit Katie.
Look at how small they are.

- Yeah, Amy hasn't really
bought anything for the baby

so I was gonna give them to her
if you're okay with that?

- Yeah, yeah, of course.
Whatever... whatever she needs.

- You know, I actually have
some exciting news.

Uh, this whole Maggie's thing,
it's really taking off,

and the investors want
to open more locations.

- Wow, that's... that's a big
undertaking.

- Yeah, it is, and Nicole and I
are seriously considering it,

but it would mean I would have
to be away more than I planned.

- How much more?

- I'm not sure,

but if I did it you would have
to spend more time at Heartland.

- (Bemused sigh)
- What?

- Nothing it's just, uh,

it's just what you've always
criticized me for -

putting work before family.

It's what you said blew up
our marriage.

- Okay, well that's one way
of looking at it.

- No, it's the only way of looking at it,
Lou. Why's it suddenly okay

for you to do it?
It's a little hypocritical, that's all.

- Peter, who stood behind you
all those years?

Katie: Daddy, I need you!

- Well, this is a first.
(Pig squeals)

- Look, Dad...
- I can explain!

- I hope so. Aren't you supposed
to be at the reserve?

You only have your Learner's?

Okay, you two out of the car now!
- We were on our way to the vet clinic!

- There is no excuse for you to be driving
without a licensed driver present.

It's illegal.
You know that, right?

- I do, but Petunia
swallowed keys!

- Yeah, she's really sick.

(Pig squeals)

- You mean the pig?

- We called for a ride,
but nobody picked up.

- And this is the best plan
you two could come up with?

- No, don't blame Adam!
This was my idea!

- Look, I know it looks bad and
I'll face the consequences...

- But we have to get her to
a vet clinic! She could die!

Please!

- Let's go.

(Mutter police radio chatter)
(Door shuts)

(Car starts up)

- (Pig snorts)

(Knock at the door)

- Hey.
- Hey.

Peter: Listen, I'm sorry, okay?

It's a fantastic opportunity

and of course you should do it
and I will step up.

- Thank you.

- Our marriage may have failed,

but I'm not gonna fail
at being the best dad

I can possibly be for our girls.
- That means a lot.

And I'm excited, but I'm also
worried about being away more.

I honestly don't know
how I'm gonna juggle it.

- No, you'll figure it out,
you... And I'm here.

I'll be here to support you, you know,
whatever you need, you and the girls.

There is something I've been
meaning to ask you. Uh...

It's been sorta kicking around
in my head a little bit.

Um...

What's really going on with you
and this ranch hand?

- It's nothing official,
but things have changed.

There's something between us
and I want to see where it goes.

I'm sorry, Peter, I'm not
telling you to hurt you.

I just want to be honest.

- No, yeah, that's uh...

I hope that works out for you
if that's what you want.

(Receding footsteps)

(Birds chirp)

(Paper CD case crinkles)

(Approaching footsteps)
Lou: Incoming!

- Hey.

What do you got there?

Lou: Ah, just some of Katie's old clothes.
- Oh.

Oh, Lou, they're adorable.

Are you giving these to me?

- I've been saving them for you,
and it's a good thing too,

or else my niece or nephew might
not have anything to wear.

- Very funny. Actually,
you'll be happy to know

I just signed up for that
prenatal class you told me about.

- Amy, that's great.

You're gonna love Margo.
She's the best.

- Yeah, yeah...

It's just I don't...

I don't have a prenatal partner
right now.

So I was hoping maybe
if you had time...

- Yes! Yes, Amy,
I would love that!

And I will do everything I can

to make sure I'm here
to make that happen.

- Thanks, Lou.

- Oh my gosh,
I remember this one.

- Wow, that it so tiny.

(Laughing)
- It is.

- (Sighs)

You seem more relaxed.

- Um, well, I told Peter
about the expansion plans,

and then he came right out
and asked me about Mitch.

- What did you say?

- I admitted there's something there,
and I told him I want to see where it goes.

- And how did that go over?

- He was great about it,
actually.

And I've been thinking...

I want to keep this horse.

I want Venus.

- But you know there's one more
thing we have to do first, right?

- (Exhales)

- You ready?

- Yeah, I am.

Good girl.

Good girl, Venus.

- You got this.

- Okay.

(Hooves thud slowly)

Amy: That's it.

(Hooves thud a bit faster)

- Amy, she's amazing!
- (Laughs)

(Hooves thud faster)

(Soft music)

- For what it's worth I know
what it's like to lose someone.

It makes you feel like...

well, you're helpless,

like you should have been able
to prevent it.

The thing is, you can't take
responsibility

for the choices that
other people make.

Now if Zack had his mind made up
to go down that road

there's nothin' you or anybody else
coulda done to change his mind.

- Yeah, I know, you're right.
It's just...

I'm the one that persuaded him
to sign up in the first place.

If I'd left well enough alone,
he'd probably still be alive.

- Okay. I didn't know Zack,

but if he's half the man
you say he was,

he wouldn't want you
blamin' yourself.

He'd want you to move on.

(Soft music)

(Car rumbles)

Georgie: Did Cass say she'd call
when she finds out what's going on?

Jim: You've got other things
to worry about.

(Door opens and shuts)

Peter: Jim... thanks for bringing her home.
- Of course.

- I wish I could say
it's nice to see you,

but here we are again.
Jim: Yup.

- What are we gonna do with these two?
- I don't know.

- Look, I know what
you're going to say--

- No, we don't want to hear it.

There is no excuse
for this behavior, Georgie.

You're grounded
until further notice.

- And that goes for you too.

- No, it's not his fault! He only did it
because I made him!

Lou: Georgie, there were
a lot of other,

safer choices you two
could have made.

- I honestly thought
it would be okay.

The clinic wasn't that far, and even Dad
said I was a good driver!

- Seriously? Your dad lets
you practice driving

and suddenly this is his fault?
- No!

You're right. Okay, I'm sorry.

Peter: This isn't the first time
you've taken a vehicle

without permission either, is it?

Jim: Do you know what that's
called in my line of work?

- A repeat offender.

- What if somebody got hurt?

What if you hurt yourselves?

Jim: Look, I know they had
the best of intentions,

as you two always do.

You could have been charged,
you know, but I'll let it go this time.

Okay?

Good.

Now I do have to say...

that's the first time I've ever
taken a pig into custody.

- (Chuckles)

(Rooster crows)

Peter: Katie's got a surprise for ya.
- You do?

- This is you having a big apple!

- (Laughs) Honey, I love it!

Mommy's gonna look at this
every night.

- Can me and Daddy
go have ice cream?

Lou: (Chuckles)
That's up to Daddy.

- You go get your sneakers on,
okay?

I'll be in in a sec to help with the laces.
Katie: Okay.

- Look, I just -I want to thank you
for stepping up to make this happen for me.

- Yeah, absolutely.
You... you deserve it, Lou.

You know, this is my time
to, uh, stand behind you.

(Chuckles)

Georgie: Lou, Scott's here!

- Petunia's gonna be okay?

- Yeah, she's on the mend.

Turns out there
wasn't any blockage.

(Keys clink)

- (Laughs) Where'd you find those?

- Llama enclosure.

- Look, Georgie,
I know you felt responsible,

but that doesn't excuse
the risk you and Adam took.

- So, what is wrong with Petunia?
She is sick, right?

- Well, she has pneumonia.

After a round of antibiotics
she's already improving,

So you probably saved her life.

- And thanks for coming, Scott.
- No problem.

- (Sighs)

- Hey, how's Venus doing?

- Really great, actually.

- That's good to hear.

Okay, I'm outta here.

- Thanks, Scott.

- See ya.
Scott: Later.

- And where are you going?
- I've gotta go make a call.

- And I need to talk to Mitch.
Have you seen him?

- Yeah, he's out exercising Harley.

I just watched them take off.

- Did you see which way he went?

- No way! He said we saved her life?

- Pretty much.
Makes all this worth it, huh?

- Yeah.

It's just too bad we can't
celebrate together.

- Yeah, I know. It sucks.
I'd like that.

- Okay, then, We'll celebrate...
when we're not grounded anymore.

- (Laughs) If that ever happens!

- Hey, Amy, how are ya?
You look a little tired.

- Actually, I'm, I'm great.

I sighed up for a prenatal class.

- I wish I could be there
with you right now.

- Me too.

- How was the appointment?

- (Chuckles)

- Is that the ultrasound?
-Yup.

I've been waiting to look at it with you.

The nurse said that a trained eye
might be able to tell

if it's a boy or girl.
- Well do you want to know?

- I don't think I want to know.

Is it okay with you
if we keep it a surprise?

- To be honest,

as long as our baby is healthy
I'm good either way.

♪ It's your love,
it's your love... ♪

Mitch: Lou!

Lou: Hey!

Mitch: Hey, what are you doin' here?
I thought you had a plane to catch?

-Yeah, I do, but I, uh,

I wanted to see you first,
to thank you for Venus.

- I'm glad she's workin' out.

You know, I, uh, I wanted
to do better this time.

See now the last time I bought
a horse for the dude ranch,

she ended up being pregnant with twins.
I'll send you the invoice.

- Invoice?

- Yeah, don't worry.
I got a killer deal on her.

- Yeah, sure, that's... great.

We needed a new trail ride horse
for the dude ranch.

- Lou, about what happened
the other day at the river...

Um, I feel like I owe you an apology.

My head was in a dark place.

It was the anniversary
of Zack's death,

and, you know,
to tell you the truth I...

I still find it... hard.

- Mitch, ho wonder you wanted
to be alone...

I'm so sorry.

- Well, I think this guy's had
enough for one day.

Come on, let's get you back.

I wouldn't want you to miss
your flight.
