Previously onWildfire:

Anyone who loves horses as much as you do has a place at Raintree.

Mr. Betart says he's prepared to offer you a job

at the Raintree Thoroughbred Farm.

Nothing personal, Furillo, but I don't want to see you back unless it's on visiting day.

So what are you gonna do?Give parties.

The first party's next Saturday night, and I want you all to be there.

You can't rent this space. I have a lease.

You broke that. You're out of it, buddy.What if you went in with my dad?

I'll put up a hundred grand.50.

You got yourself a deal.

They're so happy.They know how it feels to miss someone.

Kerry Connelly, K.D.J. Sports Management.Raise your right hand.

I, Kerry Connelly...Solemnly swear to always give Kris the straight scoop.

Spin the bottle this way and drop it just a little lower. Atomic Hot Sauce. Action!

Come over to my house for dinner.I-I can't.

Yes, you can.No.

I'll see you at 7 then.

Let's get to know each other just a little bit at a time.

You're expecting someone.Lover boy!

Heading now into the second turn, 1-carat Calloway

brings himself back into the mix.

Who is it?Hey.

Hey, it's me. You busy?

It's a little late.

Okay. Some other time.

Hey, where were you the other night?

You were supposed to come over to my place, and you never showed up.

I was gonna cook us dinner and everything.Sorry.

You know, it just... felt like it was taking a step backwards.

All I wanted to do was show you my new apartment.

Yeah, well, you found some other girl to show it to.

What are you talking about? What girl?You tell me.

Or did you already forget her name?

Oh, her?

That was Isabelle. My mother.

How about you make it up to me by coming to the club's opening?

Sure.

I'll be there.Great. We'll grab an early dinner or something.

Hey, I think it's

a little too early for us to hang out

as... just friends.

In other words, you're afraid you won't be able to resist me?

I've done a pretty good job so far.

Okay. Look me in the eyes and tell me

that you don't have any feelings for me anymore

and that you just want to be friends.Please.

See? You can't do it.

I don't have feelings for you anymore,

and I just want to be friends.

Well...

okay, then.

Friends it is.

Oh, look.

Atomic Hot Sauce. It's really hot.

♪ With the morning light got your mind in sight ♪

♪ And I want to be there all my life ♪

♪ With the morning light got your mind in sight ♪

♪ And I want to be there

♪ You're all I ever dreamed of ♪

♪ Your stars align in threesomes ♪

♪ Oh, let your light

Okay, so we can either move slow, do a couple more

low-profile races like Golden Sierra or Rio Robles,

or-- and this is what's getting me really excited--

we just roll the dice, go straight for the Duxbury Classic.

I said, "Duxbury Classic."

Yeah, got it.

Tell me something. Am I even on your radar here?

What?No, I...

just recognize that bus over there.

Are they friends?Not exactly. Um, it's from Camp Lagrange.

You mean, jail?

Is there a problem?

I hope not.

We'll get it worked out.Okay.

Hey, Kris, you got a minute?Hey, Furillo.

I told the camp the could bring a few girls for a tour, but I can't now. Can you?

That's it?Yeah.

Yeah.Great. Thanks.

Kris. Hi.Oh, Leanne.

Look at you. Girl next door!

Boots, jeans, everything but a straw hat and a corncob pipe.

Yeah, I left those back at the farm.

Saw your commercial. He's a cute guy.

You get to do more than kiss him?Long story.

Hey, at least you got a cool t-shirt out of it.

That's more than I got after 2 years of raking.

Got any more of these? Maybe you could sign one for me.

Yeah. Um, pink, red or black?

Pink.

I'm gonna have to smack some street back into that pretty head of yours.

Whatever. I'm still have enough street to kick your sorry ass.

Hey! An invitation to a party.

I haven't been to a party in ages.

Oh. Your father's invited me to the opening of the club.

You thinking of excuses not to go?Well, Charlie's not in town.

So what? Why don't you come by for a drink?

Maybe, if I can stay up that late.

Mom, you lived with Dad for, what, 15 years?

Another hour will not kill you.

That has nothing to do with it. I get along fine with your father.

I do!

Hi!Hi.

Am I interrupting?No, no, not at all.

Dani, come on in. I was just going upstairs.

Hey. Uh, you coming to the equestrian center fundraiser?

When is it?

Pablo didn't tell you?Uh-uh.

Well, next week there's a lunch

to raise money for the riding program.

You should bring Wildfire. It would help.

How would it help? Nobody knows who I am.

Are you crazy? You're the girl who made good.

You're the one who shows 'em all with the money.

I wish I could. I really do.

I can't.

Oh. Okay.

What?

You know, I can't stop thinking about the other night.

That was a really good kiss.

Yeah?

Kind of wish it wasn't.

I'm not sure where we go from here.

There's always the barn.

Yeah.

But then we'd just be repeating past mistakes.

Some of those mistakes were the best part of my life.

My life is...

just crazy right now.

If found out so much stuff about myself.

Nothing is what I thought it was.

I need to slow down. Does that make sense?

Yeah.

Yeah, it makes sense.

We'll go slow.

Slow.

I got you a first-aid kit, some Band-Aid's, aspirin...

What is it with you kids? You think you're never gonna get sick?

Hey, when you and my dad split up,

did you ever have any other kids?

Why? Am I overdoing this whole "mother" thing? I am, aren't I?

No, no. It's just,

you never know when you're gonna need a kidney.

No. There's just you.

Okay.

Hi!Oh, Dani. Hey! What's up?

I brought you something for your kitchen.Thank you.

Check it out.Wow!

Looking good!Thanks.

He had a little help. Hi, Dani.Hi.

Look, coffee mugs! Cool!Oh, how cute.

I love these. Junior really did need new kitchenware.

In fact, I stopped by a pottery shed and got him a few things.

Nice.I really had to get rid of that horrible old stuff he had.

Oh, you mean the stuff that I bought him?

Oh, Dani, I'm s-sorry. I didn't--

Nah. No worries. On second thought, maybe I'll just keep the mugs.

Thanks for helping me out.

Yeah, no problem.

You know, they want me to go to some fundraiser.

I can't go. I have way too much work.

If it wasn't for the equestrian center, you wouldn't be here.

I know. I know I owe it to them,

but I can't go back there.

I still feel like I belong with all of them.

But you don't. You're a different person now.

It's so hard to let it go.So don't let it go.

Make a deal with it.

After I spent those 4 years in jail,

I thought if I could help just one person

not waste their life in jail,

maybe my time spent there wasn't a total loss.

You know they want me to bring Wildfire.

Trailer's ready to go.

Hey.Hi.

Listen, I'm glad you're going back to the facility and everything.

It's a terrific photo-op and a great message for the kids.

But I just really wish you'd consulted with me first.

I talked to Jean and Pablo.Whoa, I'm your agent.

Yeah, but this isn't about horseracing.

Listen to me. The Ritters are wonderful people,

but now you are a professional athlete.

You need professional advice. That's why I'm here.

I'm your shrink, I'm your priest, I'm your home-room teacher,

and I'm like family now.

But to be that, you got to let me in.

I'll try.Okay.

Go get 'em.

Hey, "Pabs." Lookin' sharp.

Is he okay with this?

All right, let's go.

Hello.

Hey, Jean?Hey, Pete, listen,

thank you for the invitation,

but I'm not sure Charlie's gonna be back in time.

Jean, I'm about to leave for Texas. My mom had a stroke.

Oh, my God.

Oh, I'm-I'm so sorry. Is she gonna be okay?

I don't know. It's hard to tell on the phone.

But could you do me a favor? I need proof that my mother was a nurse in the Navy.

Insurance reasons. Should be with the birth certificates in the barn.

Yeah, of course. I'll find them.Thanks.

Yo, Pete!Okay. I got to go.

Wait. How are you? You okay?

Yeah, yeah, I'm fine, thanks for asking.

I'll pick that stuff up on the way to the airport, okay?

Okay. Bye. Thanks.

Well, I'm on my way to the market. The fridge is empty,

and there's a clean load of clothes in the dryer.

By the way, I cleaned out your lint trap. It was a mess.

Thanks.You're welcome.

Is that woman ever not here?

Hey, I don't see you offering to dust or fluff pillows.

Seems like having a mother isn't so bad after all, huh?

It's got its perks.Weren't you the one that said you didn't want a mother?

Maybe I spoke too soon.

Hey, you still trying to find your mom?Not at the moment.

I have enough to deal with with your mom.

But that's all you used to talk about-- how bad you wanted a mother.

Yeah, well, now that I don't want one, she should be showing up any minute.

Hey.Hey.

Thanks for coming.Yeah, I wish I could stay longer.

I told my dad I'd help him out.

Found out my grandma is pretty sick.

Sorry. Please step forward, arms out.

It must feel pretty weird to be back, huh?

Yeah.

Okay. Here you go.

Thank you.

So much for my commercial money.

Yo.

Hey, dude, it's me. Listen, um, my grandmother had a stroke.

Oh, man. I'm sorry. Is she gonna be all right?

Yeah, I think so. But my dad has to fly to Texas to deal with it.

He's still worried about this occupancy permit we don't have.

I guess the fire department can't send anybody out until next week.

Hey, don't worry about it.

My dad's best friends with the fire chief.

I'll give him a call and try to work something out.

Good, good. Hey, are you bringing anybody opening night?

No. Solo.

Well, then I guess you're in luck. My dad asked if you could hire the waitresses.

Okay.

So here's the deal. You're up next.

After your talk, a little 10-minute break.

Then a photo session with the girls, and done.

Good luck.Okay.

Kris...Got something for ya.

Check this girl out. I knew you wouldn't let me down.

This means a lot to me.

Okay, Rebecca.

Hi.

Hi. Nice to meet you. I'm Junior.

I know. We've already met.

Oh. Uh, was it at a party?Yeah.

Was I nice?Not really.

Oh. Okay. Was I dressed?

Yes. But, um, I wasn't.

Okay, I think you have me confused with someone else,

because I would definitely remember seeing you naked.

But it was dark.

And besides, I doubt you were looking at my face.

What party was this?Freddy McCracken's birthday party.

You and Matt Ritter got caught spying on the girls

changing in the playroom, remember?

You had to give back your ninja stars.You're kidding.

Wait, you were there? What's your name? Rebecca? Rebecc--

Oh, my God. Becky Braces?

Yeah, well, the braces came off during boarding school.

Well, your teeth are looking great.

Now I'm just taking time off before college

and trying to save money for a trip to Italy.Cool.

Okay, so, um, let's talk about the job.

Where else have you been a waitress?

Um, nowhere.But you've worked a cash register before.

Never.How about a cappuccino machine?

Nope.You like to bake?

Not really.

Okay, you're hired!Great.

Awesome.Yeah, awesome.

All I know is that when I first came here,

I had little to no options.

My future was just hopeless.

And after I was introduced

to the equestrian center program, my perspective started to change.

I had to learn to trust, let my guard down,

and regain some sort of control over my life.

So please, support the equestrian center program

so that other girls can have a chance.

Um, I guess that's it, so thanks.

Well done.Thanks.

It's hard to believe I saw you riding right here,

only a couple of years ago, for the first time.

Yeah, it seems a bit longer than that.Something wrong?

No. I'm fine, thanks.

I'll see you in 10 minutes.Okay.

Yes, Chief Schaffer, I'm helping Pete Ritter out with this club,

and we can't get the fire marshal out here

before opening night.

Any chance you could persuade him?

Thank you. I appreciate that.

Dad? He's doing great.

Bye.

Hey. What are you doing?Hi.

Checking out my new shirt.

Couldn't wait to get back to Camp Lagrange to try it on.

After all that prison food, I'm still small. What do you think?

I think you'd better take that Camp Lagrange shirt out of the trash and go back.

What?Come on.

I know you put on that shirt 'cause you're gonna make a run for it.

Don't do this to me, Kris. We're on the same side here.

I know that you're upset about Frankie, but running away

is gonna ruin everything that you've worked for.

You're right. It's a stupid move.

But the last few days, things got so bad,

I had to try.

But like you said,

I'm just trying to gain control over my life.

Leanne! Stop!

Leanne!

What are you doing? Are you crazy?

I can't explain, okay? It's about my family. I've got to go.

No. You don't. You can go back. You still have another chance.

No. I got a crisis.

I got to go deal with it. Then I'm coming back here, I swear! I'm serious!

I'll turn myself in and do the extra time! Somebody's life is in danger.

Oh, you expect me to believe that?You asked me for the truth.

That's it. Now, you got to trust me!

Hey!

I understand, Chief Schaffer, but the club opens tomorrow night.

We really need that permit.

I thought you said it wasn't gonna be a problem.

You didn't realize what? That my father and I aren't speaking?

Did he call you? Yes, I know you're busy, but I...

Hey, Matt, you seen Kris? We're ready to start.No.

Okay, ladies, let's line upI need your help. Come on.

and get ready for these photos.

1, 2, 3, 4,

5, 6, 7. Who are we missing?

Hello.Oh! Hi.

Sorry. There's no more room left in the fridge.

But don't worry. I got all the stuff that Junior likes--

ice cream, waffles, macaroni and cheese.

How thoughtful of you.

Hey, where did, uh... Where did all this come from?

Oh, that's just an old set of Davis family china. It's boring.

But it's still better than that middle-of-the-road pottery shed junk.

I gave that to the thrift shop. Must be somebody out there who wants it.

Hey.

You up for an after-work drink?

Um, no, thank you.Wait, are you serious?

Yeah, I think so.

Wait. No, I'm...

I'm positive, actually.

Are you still mad about that birthday party?

Look, I swear I saw hardly any of you naked. My light saber was low on batteries.

It's not about that. It's just...

everybody knows that you broke up with Kris Furillo.

I've got to go.

Yeah, but that's over.

I saw that commercial. Please don't tell me that was acting.

Oh, come on. Remember how good I was in Pippin?

Face it. You're looking for some tawdry,

shallow fling to get over Kris,

and while that doesn't sound all bad,

I'm not your rebound girl.

Hey.Hey.

You want some coffee?Yeah, I could use something.

How's Myrna doing?

Doctors said that she's gonna need more therapy than they thought.

Whatever that means. I guess I just go there,

figure it out.

Uh, Navy papers?Yep, right there.

Thank you. I'm sorry to bother you about this.

Oh.

Hey, does your brother know what happened?

Patrick? Yeah. He says he's gonna be there Saturday.

Is he still...

Little finger cymbals and the head and... Yeah.

Hare Krishna?Mm-hmm.

Oh, my God! She's gonna have another stroke when she sees him.

Well, it it Patrick, and he said Saturday, but he didn't say

which Saturday of which month of which year.Of which month of which year.

I could just...

Oh, my God.

Patrick.

Yeah. Anyway, I'm gonna have to go stay with my mom in Dallas for a while.

Look, you just do what you need to do.

I'll tell Matt.

Thanks.

You've been really good about this. Thank you.

Kris, where have you been?I was just checking out some of the old horses.

I wanted to see who was still here.Leanne's missing.

She disappeared right after your speech.

You haven't seen her, have you?No.

Sure about that?

You were missing for 20 minutes,

roughly the same time Leanne disappeared.

Did you see her after your speech?No.

We got a security-camera picture of her leaving the premises.

Looks like she's wearing your shirt.I gave it to her.

Leanne asked Kris for one.Kris, do you know any of

Leanne's friends, family?

I knew some, but--

Do you know she left Lagrange shortly after you? She violated her parole

3 months later so she could be with her family.

Being with your family isn't a violation of your parole.

No. Her family is a gang-- 101st Street in Oakland.

The warden said he had some good leads in Oakland, so I think we're done here.

For now.

You better hope we come up with something.

This girl got out on my watch, and if you had anything to do with it,

your parole officer won't be cutting you any breaks.

I wish that I could come to the opening tonight,

but I have to fly to Richmond to look at a horse.

You're not kidding about this, are you?

No. I want something for myself.

If you depend on people you already don't trust, you're just a fool.

Right here?

Your dad?Anybody. In the end, people are always out for themselves.

You don't think of me that way, do you?

Matt, did you ever think about going out on your own?

And I don't mean, like, backpacking around Europe or something.

I mean, doing what you're good at.

Mixing music-- I guess I never looked at that as a career.

Why can't you see what everybody else does?

You're good at doing exactly what you do already.

You know everything about horses and everything about the track.

I know more about the track than I'd like to.

I'm not talking about gambling. I'm talking about setting up your own outfit.

But Raintree...Belongs to your mother.

And she's partnering in more horses with Pablo. Where are you in all this?

I've seen you work a colt. You're as good as he is.

Matt, you need to believe in yourself.

I believe in you. Help me set up my stable.

Like I don't have enough stuff to do already.

Yeah. Maybe I will.

I got to catch my plane.Want me to walk you to the door?

I know my way out.

Mom, what are you doing here?Oh, my God!

Oh, look at this. I just put up this glitter ball.

and the sound system? Dad and I wired it ourselves.

The subwoofers are... gonna boom!

Matt...And the deejay...

He's gonna play hip-hop, but he's also gonna play your kind of music too.

Oh!

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Damson Academy's

very own queen of 1978,

My mother,

Jea-ea-ean Ritter!

Pretty cool, huh?Yeah, it's cool.

Matt, you don't make it easy.

I've got bad news. Gram took a turn for the worse,

and Dad has to stay longer than he thought.

But... what about the opening?

He's not gonna make it. I know. It's just...

It's rotten timing,

and you and Junior have put in

so much work, but...

you two just can't open the club by yourselves.

Yeah.

Which is why your dad sent me down here--

to help the two of you get it up and running.

What?Yeah.

Thanks.

Thanks, Mom.Where do we start?

You're holding out.

I thought we've been through this. You've got to trust me.

You talked to Leanne, didn't you?

Yeah. But she said she had an emergency to take care of.

She's coming back.What?

Listen, she is not coming back. You need to talk to a lawyer.

Are you with me or not? You know, you said you wanted

to be my priest and all that sort of stuff...

It's not such a great job, is it?

Dude! You can't pull out on us now! We hired you!

I never signed, all right? Now I'm not available,

Junior, I can't find the "final occupancy" permit anywhere.

We have that. Somewhere.

Anyway, we have a bigger problem. DJ Tim just quit.

He got a better-paying gig at Roadrunners.What?

I'm gonna give 'em a call.We had a deal.

Read my lips: No contract.

Yeah, but you said you'd do this.I said I was available.

And now I'm not.Can I see this?

Yeah.Excuse me.

Hi. This is Jean Ritter over at Pete's.

Yeah, I just wanted to let you know that DJ Tim

was about to breach his contract with us.

Yeah. California state law

recognizes verbal agreements as binding,

so if you hire DJ Tim, your state business license will...

Oh, I see.

It was a misunderstanding. I-- Of course.

No, of course.

Thank you so much. All right. Bye, bye.

Good news. You're available.

All right.

Hello?Hey, it's Kris. Where the hell are you?

At Frankie's girlfriend's old place.

I swear I'll be there. Just give me a few more hours.

What is with you? I can't keep doing this.

They're gonna question me. Please, don't give 'em this number, Kris.

I know that's asking a lot, but you're all I've got.

When are you coming back?

I can make it as far as the Mission Street exit off the interstate.

After that, I'm gonna need a ride. Can you meet me in 2 hours

in the parking lot by the off ramp?

You okay? You look pensive and reflective,

and I'm worried.Should be.

We don't have a fire permit.You better say something to Matt and Jean.

I'm not gonna ruin their opening night.

If we get busted, I'll deal with it myself.

You mean, your dad will.No. Me.

Dad and I aren't speaking. And unfortunately,

neither are our accountants.

He's pretty much cut me off.

Well, uh, it was... it was great

hanging with you, but I'll see you around.

Gotcha.

Nice one.So what happens?

Oh, long story.

In the end, he gave me a choice between the family and...

Kris.

I chose her.

Even though I totally pissed off my dad,

I think I did the right thing.

That's pretty impressive.And then we broke up.

Anyway, better get back to work.

Hear there's a party tonight.

Hi. It's Kris.

Yeah, I guess it's kind of a surprise.

Look, I need your help.

I've got a problem.

So tell me something. What am I doing here?

You're helping out a girl who's a lot like me.

Cool.

That's not what I meant, though. I meant, what am I doing here?

Rather than someone else?

Because you said that you'd have my back.

I do.

Here we go.

It's been over an hour.She's not coming.

Let's go.

Home?

Could you drop me off in town?

Yeah.

Hey!What's up? You guys having fun?

Oh, yeah!Yeah, man.

What's up, dude? Deejay!

We did it! We just hit 200,

and there are 50 more waiting to come in outside!

Hey, hey!

Hey, what's our capacity, anyway?

Oh, I'll check the permit.Okay.

Dude! Hot party! How you been?

What's up, man? Hey, you see that football game last Friday?

We could've used you. Green Valley crushed us.

Oh! Should have gone for that fourth down. I don't know what Coach was thinking.

I know, man. Hey, let me grab a brewski for ya?

I can't. I'm working... for the fire department.

You got a permit for this place?

Hey, come on. You can let it slide just once.

I wish I could, bro. Sorry.

Sure, no, I get it.

Hey, look, um...

What's it gonna take to make this go away? Just tell me.

Hey, great turnout.Hey.

You okay?Yeah.

Just had to pay off the fire inspector. Not a proud moment.

And just the sort of thing my dad would do.

It's a drag.

You look exhausted. How about I go

grab us a couple of drinks?

No one has ever made me a more generous offer.

Hey-hey-hey! What's up?Hey.

Congratulations.Thanks. I'm really glad you could make it.

I was starting to think you were avoiding me.

No. Not within my power.

Hey, I got to go check in with some stuff,

but I'll check in with you later, all right?Yeah. Go.

Bye.

Hey! What about our drinks?

Um, I got to go home. My shift's over,

and I have a huge day tomorrow, so...

Wait. Did I do something?

No. Oh, God, no.

It's just, um, I'm so exhausted.

It was a great party, though. So, I'll see you.

I just saw the napkins. Where'd they go?

Right here.Ah! Thank you.

I just talked to Dad on the phone.Oh, how's Gram?

Complaining. So I guess she's doing a lot better.

Yeah.

I think Dad's gonna be there for a while.

Yeah, that's what he said.

He also said he was sorry for canceling the opening.

What's that about?

I made an executive decision.Thank you.

You worked really hard on this. I didn't want to see you disappointed.

Did you do this for me... or for Dad?

Matt!

Thank you.

Kris, you got to take some of these chicken wings home.

You can have them for lunch tomorrow.Thanks, Pablo.

No problem.

Hey, Kris, what's wrong?

I'm gonna... turn myself into the warden first thing.

What?What are you talking about? What happened?

I spoke with Leanne.

She was going to help her family, and she was going to come back,

but she just never showed up, and... I am so stupid.

Oh, my God, Kris! What were you thinking?

She's my friend, and she was in trouble.

This is really serious.I know. My career, my parole, everything.

I really screwed up!Yes, you did.

Why did you lie?

Because I had faith in Leanne, like you had faith in me.

I'll see you in the morning.

Hey. I think this time I'm actually leaving.

I'm sorry.

But I was just trying to help out an old friend, do what I thought was right.

But you're used to it here. Be good.

No biting.

I said, no biting.

And keep on winning.

Kris, time to go.

Yeah, I'm almost ready. Give me a minute.

I'm sorry about yesterday. My ride flaked, I hitched all night...

Forget your stories! Do you have any idea how much trouble I'm in?

I'm sorry. I got here as fast as I could.

"Sorry"? I'm going back to jail.

Look, I was gonna tell you--Thanks!

But I found out all the information I need to know from the police.

No, you didn't. They didn't know about this.

No one did.About what?

Oh, my God.This is Carlos.

My son.

Want to hold him?

He's beautiful.

Frankie didn't want to keep him

'cause he's not the dad.

He just took off with his new girlfriend and left him all alone.

I had to get him. Otherwise he would have been put into the system.

Why didn't you tell me?

I couldn't. If you told the cops, they might have stopped me before I could get to him.

I gave my sister your number here.Yeah. Gina just called.

She's on her way.

I should have asked her in the first place.

She'll take good care of him till I get out.

I wanted you to hold him.

Thanks.

I'm glad you did.

We need to get to the warden.

I don't think the warden needs to talk to Kris.

I mean, I'm the one he's looking for. I'll keep her out of it.

That's not your call.

Jean?

You and Pablo better get going.
