Heartland (2007–…): Season 12, Episode 18 - Room to Grow - full transcript

Previously on "Heartland"...

- That is Will's guitar.
- He's gone, Jack.

Our dear Will passed away.

Maya tells me you're bringing Fred...

- as a guest to the wedding.
- I'm not bringing anyone,

'cause um, I don't think I can be there.

I want you at my wedding!

We're trapped, aren't we?

If I miss this event tomorrow,

there is no European tour, okay?!

There's something I need to say.



I know what I put you through, Marion,

what I put our family through.

But today's not about looking back,

it's about moving forward.

- Is everything okay?
- It's Luke's mother.

She doesn't feel that she
can take care of him anymore.

I'm afraid I'm looking into foster care.

- Mm aah.
- Yeah?

I think we should give
this back to Luke.

Why? He wanted us to have it.

Yeah well,
what if we never see him again?

I think he should have it.

Ty, I'm pretty sure we're
gonna see Luke again.

Not if he ends up in foster care, Amy.



He could be in a different city,

Far away from his school,
far away from us.

Luke's a sensitive kid,

this is gonna be a tough
transition for him.

Let's go, sunshine!

Mom? Where are we going?

Um, I don't know, but...

that is why it's so exciting.

It's an adventure.

I'm gonna find a new job,

and a new house.

But I like this house.

Well, we'll find a better house.

Mom, we can't just leave.

Says who?

There is a whole world out there.

Waiting for us to see it!

You and me.

Come on.

Okay.

Okay, good.

Shouldn't we lock the front door?

Hey, Doreen.

What a nice surprise.

Oh!

Mm!

Watch your step there.

What brings you all the way out here?

Oh, I just came out to
check on Will's wildies.

It's something that I...

That's very kind of you.

Yeah.

So, uh...

I see you sold the place.

Yeah,
our family wanted to hang on to it,

but we can't afford the upkeep.

How about the horses?

Winter's coming.

I know.

Doreen?

I'm sorry, I, you know,
we tried to find a buyer

who would agree to protect the horses,
but we failed!

What do you mean?

He's already arranged
for a slaughterhouse.

He lied to us.

Well...

there must be something
that can be done.

It's too late.

He takes possession in a few days.

So the big day's this Saturday,

how you holding up?

You know, I've heard of
the whole bridezilla thing,

but you know,
Maya is just the exact opposite.

She's been so relaxed
for this whole thing.

It's all the yoga and meditation.

Yeah, maybe.

I just wish I was as calm as she was.

I think everybody's kinda
nervous before their wedding.

Really?

Yeah, for sure, I was.

- You were?
- Yeah, who isn't?

Oh, I am so glad to hear you say that.

I am losing my mind here.

I can't help but think
that I jumped into this

just a bit too soon. I love Maya, I do,

but just, promising to spend

the rest of my life with her is...

it's huge.

But I guess that's how you felt, right?

No. I was nervous about
messing up my vows.

Spending the rest of
my life with Marion,

I was certain about that.

But my marriage didn't last very long,
so what do I know?

I'm sure whatever
cold feet Mitch is having

are gonna melt away
the moment he sees Maya

- walking down the aisle.
- I don't think so.

I think he's having second thoughts.

Would you excuse me.

Oh, Lou... Lou, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Come on!

Tim!

Leave her be!

The last thing she needs right
now is false hope about Mitch.

Come on!

Oh, thanks for coming.

I wasn't sure if you got my messages.

Yeah, I-I um...
I just needed some time to think.

Okay. Yeah, I-I understand.

Um, so I just...

I wanted to apologize to you in person

for the way I acted.

It wasn't your fault that
I missed my horse show.

So I... I shouldn't have blamed you for it,

and I'm sorry.

It's okay, I accept your apology.

You do?

Yeah, I do.

Um...

Yeah, I just uh,

I do, just,
I think that we should break up.

- What?
- It's for the best.

You know, like,
you've got this huge opportunity

in Europe, which is great, um...

But I don't know yet,
I still haven't decided.

I know, but the fact is that we're going

in different directions.

We graduate in the spring,

and the day after we're finished...

I'm gonna, I'm gonna pack up my car,

and I'm gonna hit the road.
To a far away place.

And-and if we were together,
than-then yeah,

maybe you would want to come with me,

but then you'd realize that you can't.

Because you have a show,

or you have a, a clinic, or...

or there's a ribbon somewhere
that you have to win.

You, you'd go your way,

And-and I'd go mine.

So let's just save ourselves

a lot of time,

and a lot of heartbreak,

and let's just end it now, okay?

Bye.

What? No. You can't bring 'em here.

Well, it would just be temporary,

until we could find
them a permanent home.

That's a good idea.

That's not a good idea, it's a bad idea.

This is a working cattle ranch, Jack.

Where are we gonna put a
whole herd of wild horses?!

I don't know, we'll figure
that out when the time comes.

Listen, all I know is that

those horses meant everything to Will,

and I'm not about to let my friend down.

Okay, let's do this.

Everyone in favour of
bringing those wildies

home to Heartland, raise their hand.

Georgie, yep. How about you, Katie?

Well, there you go. It's settled.

I'll let Doreen know.

How are you even going to get 'em here?

Well, you're welcome to use a
Fairfield trailer if you like.

Oh no Lise, you don't want those horses

in your nice trailer,
they'll kick the crap out of it.

- I don't mind, I really don't.
- It's a nice gesture.

Thank you, but I'll call Stumpy,
he's got that junker.

Stumpy's trailer holds 10 horses,

where are you gonna put the rest of 'em?

Well, we could make more than one trip,
can't we?

Before the possession date?
Good luck with that.

- I think it's a good idea.
- Oh, I know.

I can't stop thinking about Luke.

I wish there was a way we
could make it easier for him.

How, though?

He likes it here.

He likes us.

Maybe...

I think I know where you're
going with this, Amy.

Is it such a crazy idea?

No, it's not.

I've thought about it too, Amy.

But where's he gonna sleep?

We barely have enough
room for our own daughter.

And even if we did have enough room,

becoming Luke's foster parents
is a big responsibility.

That would completely change our lives.

Do you feel ready for that?

No. You're right.

Wherever Luke ends up,

I hope he's close enough
to come and visit.

But any more than that,

and I just don't think it's realistic.

Okay!
Stumpy says we can borrow his trailer,

we'll pick it up on the way.

Are we really gonna have
time to make two trips?

Not if we don't leave right now.

Dad! Where did you get the truck?

My stock guy owed me a favour.

Wow! Well, there's more than enough room

for the entire herd in that thing.

That's the idea, Ty.

I thought you were
dead-set against this.

Yeah well, I'm not big on it.

But hey, I got outvoted, so...

do you want my help, or not?

Lou!

- Hey!
- Hey, Mitch.

I was just heading to the barber,

- I was getting my hair cut.
- Oh, right.

The big day is just around the corner.

You must be excited.
I'm a little nervous.

I haven't written my vows yet,
I should've done it weeks ago,

but I'm just,
I'm not that great with words.

It doesn't have to be
anything poetic or flowery.

Just... tell the truth.

The truth.

Well, I should uh...

- get going.
- Yeah.

All right, I'll see you later.

Okay.

- Mitch?
- Yeah?

Don't... get your hair cut too short.

What?

You don't wanna look like
your 6th Grade photo day.

You know, in your wedding photos.

It's a common mistake.

Right.

Thanks.

Oh God.

I just keep expecting Will
to come out of the house.

It just feels so different
here without him.

Yep. I know what you mean.

Well, let's get to work.

Jack,
we've gotta do something about Lou.

Are we really talking about this?

I think she's just trying to accept

- the reality of the situation.
- No, she's given up.

Well, do you blame her?

He's getting married in a couple days.

A couple of days. So she still has time.

Have you lost your mind?

Mitch was telling me.

He was telling me about
getting cold feet,

and I started thinking about Marion.

And how I never had a doubt in my mind

that I wanted to spend the
rest of my life with her.

'Til I messed it up.

It's water under the bridge, Tim.

For me. But not for Lou.

I think you best leave
well enough alone.

Lou's a grown woman,

Don't go interfering in her life.

Everything working out? You okay?

Yeah, for the most part.

Good to hear.

Mitch, wait.

Get up there! Hup! Hup!

- There we go.
- Ch! Ch! Get up there, now!

Get up there!

Good!

That's it, you go with them.

Get up! Get up there, now!

Sss! Hup! Hup! Get up there!

Come on!

Space, give him space.

Yep! Yep!

No, you don't! The other way.

Hold. Good boy.

Whoa boy, just get up! Get up there!

Get up there!

Get them in first, Grandpa!

I got him, I got him, I got him!

Get in there!

You okay?

Yeah.

Hey.

You and I, we're old friends.

And you know I'm not gonna hurt you.

I just wanna keep you safe,
to take you somewhere.

You'll like it there, I promise.

You need to come with me now.

Get in there! Get in there!

Wow, that was easy.

Good job!

So, what's the plan?

Where are we gonna put these guys,
in the back field?

Actually, we have a better idea.

You know that land you gifted us?

Yeah...

We think it's the perfect
place for the wild horses.

That's your spot,
are you sure about that?

Will shared his land with those horses,

and we wanna do the same.

What do you think, Tim?

Me?

I think the whole thing's
been crazy from the beginning,

but I think that field's like,
a pretty good choice.

Hey, mom.

I bought some sandwiches.

You should eat something.

I just need some quiet time.

But you haven't eaten anything all day.

Luke, you know how I get sometimes?

Well, it's really bad right now.

So I'll eat later, okay?

Okay.

Did you buy yourself a treat?

No, I didn't have enough money.

Well, there's more money in my purse.

Go and buy yourself some ice cream.

Mom, we shouldn't use all the money.

We have to make it last
until you find another job.

Yeah, you're right.

That's...

that's the smart thing to do.

You take such good care of me.

Where would I be without my sunshine?

It's okay, baby. Come on, baby.

That's it, good girl. Here you go.

Just so we're clear,

these horses are here temporarily,
right?

Yeah. Yeah, sorta like how you're...

parking yourself at
Heartland temporarily.

Oh hey, Clint.

Hi. Look, I'm sorry to drop in uh,

without calling first.

Ah, no problem,
do you wanna join us for dinner?

- We're just sitting down.
- Uh no thanks,

I can't stay. Look, uh...

I have something to tell you both,

and I didn't wanna do it over the phone.

It's about Luke,
you haven't heard from him, have you?

Uh, no.

Why, is everything okay?

I haven't been able to
get in contact with Luke,

or his mother.

I've been trying to track them down.

I have no idea where they are.

Hey, Mom.

Hey... you're not dressed.

Uh no, I'm not going.

- Why not?
- I just...

don't feel like it.

Mitch is gonna be disappointed.

He wanted you there.

You shouldn't be alone today, Mom.

I'm staying.

And there's nothing you
can say to change my mind.

Thank you.

Okay... oh! You're not dressed.

She's staying to...

help me take care of the kids.

- Aww!
- Sorry we're late.

- Hey!
- There she is!

Oh, we are going to have so
much fun today, aren't we?

You be good for Auntie Lou,
okay, Sweetheart?

Okay thanks, we'll uh,
see you guys there, okay?

Bye.

Hello?

Hello?

Luke?

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

It's my Mom.

- I think she's sick.
- All right, Luke,

hey, uh, we're gonna come get you, okay?

- Do you know where you are?
- At a truck stop.

O-okay. Well, do you know
which truck stop it is?

I don't know, but we drove a long way.

Okay, can you look around,
do you see any signs,

or anything?

Yeah.

"Lucky Seven".

All right Luke, stay there,
we're coming to get you.

I got it. It's a long way.

All right.

Mmm! Mmm! Thank you.

What about me, can I have some tea?

- Thank you.
- There you go.

- Thanks for staying.
- Lou?

- Honey!
- What's wrong?

I've been looking all over for you.

Dad, what's going on?

You need to get to that wedding,

and you need to tell Mitch the truth.

Dad, is this some kind of a joke?

No, no, no!
No, you have to tell him how you feel.

Dad, look,
even if I was delusional enough to think

that I still had a chance with Mitch,

it's literally too late, okay?

He's-he's walking down
the aisle as we speak!

It's not too late.

I-I would give anything

to have another chance with your mother,

but I'll never...

- I'll never have that.
- Dad!

And I'm gonna live with it
for the rest of my life.

You still have time,
you don't wanna have any regrets.

You... listen, honey.

You gotta be brave.

But if you love him...

You have to tell him, right now!

If I go into that church and
say that in front of Maya,

everyone's gonna hate me.

If you don't tell him,
you're gonna hate yourself

for the rest of your life.

He's right, Mom.

You should go.

Listen to your daughter.
She's a smart kid.

Mhmm.

I've got the girls.

- Okay, yeah, okay, okay.
- Okay.

Hey, I love you.

This is the right thing.

This is totally insane!

I'm not actually doing this, am I?

Lou, you are doing this.

And nothing is gonna stop you.

Are you kidding me?!

Hello, Hi!

Can these guys go any faster?

It's a sign. It's a sign! Some...

some higher power doesn't want
me to break up this wedding.

It is not a sign, Lou.

It is just a bunch of sheep.

Coming through! Shoo! Shoo!

Oh, thank you! Sorry.

Sorry!

Excuse me. I'm sorry.

Thank you.

Lou?

Mitch!

What are you doing here?

I'm still in love with you.

I ran in here to tell you that

in the middle of your wedding,
which is crazy,

and... and horrible,

but I...
I had to tell you what's in my heart.

Before you got married.

And I got here too late,

so now I'm telling a
married man that I love him

in a church, which is so wrong!

But here I am.

You're not wearing a suit.

Why aren't you wearing a suit?

Because there wasn't a wedding.

What?

Maya and I broke up,
and then we called it off.

You called off the wedding?

Yeah.

Yeah, the minister,
he had to tell all the guests

as they arrived that is was...

so I just,
I came back to apologize to him.

- In person.
- I'm sorry.

Yeah.

I'm gonna go do that.

If you're breaking up with
me because of the way I acted

the night in the parkade, then...

I accept that.

But if we're breaking up
with me because you're afraid

we're travelling in
different directions,

then... you're a coward.

The truth is, Wyatt, life takes everyone

in different directions,
it's just the way it is.

But if two people want to be together,
then...

they make the decision to
travel on the same path

for a while.

I know what I want. I wanna...

go to gopher museums, and...

watch old Godzilla movies, and...

go on trips to far away places.

With you.

The question...

- is, what do you want?
- Uh...

I don't know.

Well, figure it out,

and let me know.

Over here! Over here!

- Ty!
- Luke?

You okay?

- Yeah.
- Yeah?

- Luke, where is your mom?
- She's in the car.

Is that where you've been staying?

Hey.

There's Clint.

Hey.

- Why'd you guys call him here?
- We had to, Luke.

We were worried about you.

But now my Mom's in trouble!

- Well...
- Luke?

It's okay.

It's good to see you.

It's gonna be okay.

- Everything okay?
- Yeah, yeah.

His Mom's in the car.

Hey. Ah...

so, I'm gonna go talk to your mom.

I want you to stay here with Ty and Amy,
okay?

Hey, everything's gonna be all right.

Back in a minute.

Hello, Andrea.

Clint.

What are you doing here?

Well, your son called Ty and Amy,

He was concerned about you.

Andrea, how long have you
been staying in the car?

Not long.

We're on a trip.

Where are you going?

I don't know.

Listen, I'm gonna take you
and Luke some place safe

for the night, okay?

Why don't you get your things together.

Okay.

Mom!

I shouldn't have called them. I'm sorry.

It's okay, you don't have to be sorry.

You did the right thing.

Everything is fine.

Let me just get your bag

and put it in Clint's car,

and I will be right there.

Hey, it's Andrea, right?

I'm Ty, this is my wife, Amy.

We're the couple that's been
spending some time with Luke.

I know, he's told me about the horses.

He really loves them.

He didn't at first,

but now he even has his own horse,
Boots.

I just want you to know something.

You can buy Luke all of
the horses in the world,

but that doesn't change the
fact that I am his mother.

And I'm trying to do
what's best for him,

and that is why I...

thought about putting him in...

care,

but I can't do it.

I can't lose him.

Luke talks about you all the time.

He loves you more than
anyone in the world.

Trust me.

I am sorry to interrupt,

but I really think we should get going.

He's my son!

We know that.

Luke doesn't need a
weekend in the country.

What?

That's what we are to him.

We're just a vacation that he
goes on every once in a while.

It's not enough.

We can give him more than
a vacation from his life.

We can give him a home.

For as long as he needs one.

I thought we decided that
we're not ready for that.

I know, but... it's not like
I felt ready to be a parent

when Lyndy was born.

Neither did I.

I was excited to be a mom, but...

I guess I was scared I
wouldn't be any good at it.

So maybe we're asking
ourselves the wrong question,

We should be asking ourselves

if we have space in our life for Luke.

I think I do.

I think I do, too.

How about a nice cup of tea?

Oh yeah, that sounds lovely.

Thank you.

I'd love one while you're up.

Yeah, you can get that yourself.

Jack! Be nice.

Yeah, be nice, Jack.

I'm being nice!

Remember what we talked about earlier?

Yeah, I think I might change my mind.

All right, Tim.

Lisa and I think that...

well, since you spend so much
time in the house already,

you might as well move back in.

Wow.

Thank you.

Both of you.

Uh, Jack, you know I...

- it'll only be...
- Temporary, yeah, I know.

I've heard that one before.

Hey Jack, wait.

Two sugars.

Oh,
I am gonna put something in that tea,

and it won't be sugar.

I get why you're mad.

And I know that it's hard to understand,

but it's for the best.

I don't want you to be alone!

Who's gonna take care of you?

Lots of people are going
to take care of me.

Clint knows a place
where I can get help.

So you don't need to worry about that.

It is time...

that someone looked after you.

People like Amy and Ty.

And when I am feeling better,

you can come and visit me.

And you can tell me about school,

and the horses.

Will you do that?

Okay.

Okay, good.

During my...

darkest,

and rainiest days,

you're my sunshine,

and I love you...

very, very much.

Okay?

Okay.

You take care of him.

We will.

I didn't think you were gonna show.

Look Mitch, I asked you to come
here because I need to know.

Why'd you call off the wedding?

You know...

I thought...

I hoped that it was cold feet,

but when I sat down to write those vows,

I realized that it was...
something else,

something...

I couldn't lie to Maya.
She doesn't deserve that.

Lou...

what you said in the church,

why didn't you say that six months ago?

I don't know.

- I wish I had, believe me.
- Yeah!

Me too!

Because...

I ruined what was supposed to
be the best day of Maya's life.

And I don't know how I'm
going to live with myself.

I just,
I have to go away for a little while,

I've gotta figure my life out,
and I just...

I can't do this, we can talk
about this another time, okay?

Okay, Mitch, just wait!

Look, I'm sorry how this all turned out,

and I'm sorry I didn't say
something six months ago,

I should have!

But I am not gonna
wait for another time.

Don't you think we've
both waited long enough?

Miss what?

Just wait.

You'll see.

You're a good boy.

Good.

Yeah.
