She claims that she's off The alcohol and drugs.

She's got a new apartment, New job, she's turned over a new leaf.

You believe her?No.

When I asked her if She was in any kind of program, she wasn't.

She tried way too hard To convince me she'd changed.

You know, I've heard it all before.

I was married To it.

What about kris?

Barb has petitioned The parole board,

And they may agree With her-- she is the mother.

You said she's unfit.Yeah, but I--

I don't have any Real proof of that.

Yes, I...

Yeah, it's more Than a gut feeling.

But what if I'm Overreacting because I want kris to stay?

You're not overreacting.Well,

If the parole board Okays it,

Kris is the one Who has the final say on this.

What if she can't Turn her mother down?

Let's just wait and see What the parole board says.

She might not be Forced to decide.

Yeah.

Did you take Jean's ring?Did I?

Well, honey, Let's face it.

You stole a horse From an auction pen,

And...

'cause that's What a mother is supposed to do.

Everyone wants that.Yeah, and so does she, But it's never enough.

No, and it never will be. That kind of need

Is a bottomless pit.

Kris, you're doing The best you can.No, I'm not!

If I was there for her-- I mean, what if she takes some pills and dies?

No, do you see that It won't be my fault but I know that it will be.

One of these days You're gonna see

That what she does Is not your fault.

How? How can I be sure?You're gonna have to Believe me, okay?

I have been through this. It's a choice

That your mother made,

And she has to choose To end it.

Yeah, but my mom's alone.I know.

And that's not your fault. Really tough to understand, but it's true.

You figured it Out yet?Nope.

Well, we've got nothing

But a gate And a clear, straight--

No.Where is she?

Do I know you? You have a faint resemblance

To my long, lost brother Who hasn't spoken to me--where is she?

What do you think will happen If jean's ring's not found?

The sheriff will Get called in.

Oh. That's bad news For whoever stole it.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Easy, wildfire.

He won't go.

What are you waiting for?He's waiting For what isn't here.

Our goat?

I realized that wildfire Doesn't have a problem with the starting gate here.

His problem is With the view.

The view ?Of his buddy.

At this point, I'll try anything.

How about you?Yeah. I'll try anything.

The horses are in The starting gate.

Ready?Yeah.

Yes!All right!

Way to go, kris.

I love you!

And wildfire Loves you too.

Great work, todd.

Saying your last good-bye?

Just wondering when Life got so tough.

Yeah.

Well, they say The good lord never doles out

More than he knows We can handle.

Just wish he'd dole out A little less right about now.

You found it, huh?What?

What?

Ohh!

Who do you think Took it?

No questions asked. Remember?

Hey, kris, good news.

Whoever took my ring Brought it back.

That's great.

When?A little while ago.

Can you, uh, excuse me Just for a sec?

Oh, honey. Listen. I've been doing some thinking,

And if I expect you To come home,

I need to show you That I've really changed.

So--I threw out the pills.

And?Well, the rest Is up to you.

I meant the ring. It's back.

Well, that must be A relief.

I'm sorry that I accused you Of stealing it.

I was-- I was high.

And that is a reason To stop.

Now, what do You think, hmm? Can I help you pack?

Honey, with you home, I can kick this thing.

I am this close To changing my life. Can't you feel it?

Do you listen to yourself?

I mean, you can't just get Clean up and then get trashed,

Humiliate me, steal a ring, Give it back and then say you're clean again.

I mean, where does it end?When you come home?

I don't believe you.

So I lost you, right?

I lost you because I'm a horrible mother.

You didn't lose me.

I found myself. It's not about you.

Can't you understand?

See ya later, alligator.

Hey.Hey, you.

Can I talk to you About something?

That doesn't sound good.

I took your ring.

What?

Do you have any idea

Of what's been going on At this ranch because of this?

Why in the world Would you take my ring?I don't know--

Oh, no, no, no. That's not gonna cut it. Why?

What if dad comes back?

Matt.

Selling my engagement ring Has nothing to do with dad.Yes, it does.

No, no.It has everything to do With what happened.

Everything with dad Wasn't bad. Oh, my god.

He gave me you and todd.

I don't wanna erase him From our history any more than you do.

But you never gave him A real chance.

If I had had... Any alternative,

I never would have taken you And todd away from your father.

He's an addict, And I had to make a decision

That wasn't popular With anybody.

And I have to live with that.

So do I.

She's cleaned herself up Like a million times, so why is it my problem?

Besides, I said that I'd stay here with you anyway.

Talking to horses?

Yeah. He's a great listener.

The strong and silent type. Yeah.

The ring--

It was my fault.Your fault?

I took the ring And I hid it.Why?

It was a gift from my dad, And my mom was gonna sell it.

So? She's an adult. It's her ring.

I know, but there's Better answers. She panicked.

And you didn't?I'm telling you, I was wrong.

I'm sorry for all The trouble I caused.

You have no idea The trouble that you've caused.

Mom?

Need a lift To the bus station?How do you know?

Matt called. Said you're mad at him.

And to give you a ride. Come on.Why is this your problem?

Because I don't want your mother Leaving town without talking to you.

What?My mom left in a taxi.

That's all I remember.

I was so young I had nothing To say about it. You do.

When I think of all the times I wanted this goat dead.

Like when he ate The vegetable garden.Yeah.

So we'll just keep moving This can crusher down the track

Until wildfire can start Without him being there.

You saved the day, todd.Not really.

I mean, kris got him Into the starting gate.Is kris here with you?

No.What about her trailer?

No.Have you seen barb?

I have. She was walking Down the driveway with her blue suitcase.

Do you think kris Left with her mother?

Hey, superstar.I rang the doorbell.

The doorbell's broken, Along with my blender and my lava lamp.

You want something To drink?No.

I'm just here to place Another bet, and collect on today's winnings.

I sort of left in a hurry.And missed some sick action.

Oh, yeah. Speaking of action, I should probably warn you.

Well, hi, matt.

Daiquiri?

all passengers holding tickets may now board.

all passengers may now board.mom?

Mom, wait!

Mom, I'm sorry. Matt took the ring. I should have believed you.

Does that mean You're coming with me?

I can't. I-- I just--

Hey, you are grown up.

I should grow up too, right?

You'll do great.
