Previously, onWildfire:

As much as I wish it was you and me

walking down that aisle today,

we missed our chance-- I am not going to be

the person to break up your wedding.

I'm sorry, but the wedding is off.

Everyone knows you called off the wedding because of me.

It's a mistake letting Kris back at Raintree.

Kris belongs here with us.No, she doesn't.

I talked to Mom about you coming back here to live.

She doesn't think it's a good idea.

I didn't think it'd be this hard.

To go back to Raintree?

You're going to help Matt train 12 horses

and find a friend for Wildfire?

Anything I can do to help.

I'm not ready to welcome her back into the family.

But she has changed.

She let us all down.

Or we let her down.

Don't even try to tell me how Jean feels.

You have no idea what you put her through.

You're in love with her.

Having a stake in Davis Farms--

It's hard to compete with that.

Any closer on an answer to my offer?

I want my racing license back.

My clinic helped some horses,

and those owners happened to be on the racing board.

Playing the angles. That's my girl.

I'm not sure if racing is the best

or the worst thing that ever happened to me.

I'm still in love with you.

So, if you had to race tomorrow,

Lapo or Kobata?

I don't know. It's a tough call.

So why not both? Both?

Where? I mean, I doubt I can get the slots this late.

Um, hi. Hollywood Park? Yes, this is Dolores.

Yeah. I'm Matt Ritter's personal assistant.

Are those two spots still available

that we talked about for our horses?

The first race and the fourth?

Oh, no, no, no. Thank you.

Mr. Ritter is very pleased

you got us those slots this weekend.

Nice job!

I didn't believe you'd just give up horse racing.

I realized that Flame winning for Raintree

is a lot more important than me being his rider.

Well, it means a lot to me.

Us working together.Me too.

So. Hollywood Park is four hours away.

I mean, we're talking overnight.

No, you're talking overnight.

I'm staying here and still training Flame and the others.

You know what that means. Yep.

Just me and your mom. No Matt Ritter buffer.

Well...

here's to how everything should be.

Please don't make me beg.

As much as I would enjoy that, the answer would still be no.

I'll pay you.

Uh, you know that I'm done with Davis Farms.

You and Dad made sure of that.

So this is my punishment?

Last thing I want to do is go and be Dad's surrogate

at some horse race.

Schmoozing with all his racing cronies all day?

Well, just think.

Someday you'll have your own racing cronies.

For what it's worth,

I think Junior made the right decision.

Laura wasn't the right girl for him.

Which leaves you.

Yeah. It leaves me with the fallout and the blame,

thanks to Laura's dad. Yeah.

He put the brakes on me getting my jockey's license back.

So you know, everything's not where it should be.

You mean, with your license, or with Junior?

Oh, I'll get my license back someday.

And you know, as for Junior--

Maybe there's a real reason it never worked out.

It's not meant to be.Is that the way Junior feels?

It's the way I feel.

I just want to concentrate on Raintree.

Okay.

♪ Oh, I think you should know ♪

Hi, guys. Hey, you guys.

You here for dinner?

No, just drinks. Do you want to join us?

It's getting late, Matt.

We got to go. Okay.

Okay. See you later, guys.Bye.

You know, maybe I've been wrong about this all along.

Maybe those two are meant to be together.

♪ Oh, that's right

Lapo's got a strong finish,

but he may be too comfortable in the pack.

Make sure Julio keeps him forward on the first turn.

You want to come with me, or what?

No! No, I'm just reminding you of stuff.

Like Kobata.

He's a little green in the gate.

Okay, that's it. Enough.

You say one more word, and I'm going to take you

in this truck to take you--Oh, okay! Stop.

You all ready?Ready as I'll ever be.

Although, Kris is making me start to wonder.

I wish I was coming with you.

Yeah, me too. Call you guys when I get there, okay?

He'll do great. Let's hope!

I-I...better get back to the dude ranchers.

Yeah. Me too, right?

I got to keep working Flame and the others.

Good. Okay. I'll...see you later.

Remember, you have to invite Ryan O'Connor

to sit in the box.

All right? He hasn't seen Tamarac in action yet.

I heard you the fourth, fifth, and the sixth time, Dad.

It doesn't hurt to go over the game plan, does it?

Congratulate Bob Skouras. Breakfast with the Fanellis--

Blah, blah, blabbity blah.

If you're just going to micromanage me the whole time,

why don't you just go yourself?I wish I could.

I've got a prospect at a horse auction tomorrow,

otherwise I'd be there, believe me.

I don't have to remind you,

horse racing is the biggest moneymaker here at Davis Farms.

I know. I get it. All right.

Have a productive trip.

Hey pardner. Hey.

Tamarac ready to go?Absolutely. Heading out now.

Remember. Ryan O'Connor.

Okay.

Ready?Um, I'm going to meet you there.

I got something I got to go do. Cool?

I never been near a real racehorse.

Unless you count Churchill Downs, but I was in the stands then.

I saw Seattle Slew win the Derby.

Wow. That must have been amazing.

You would know, right?

You're that jockey, Kris Furillo.

Was. What, change your identity?

Incognito, like some spy?

No, I'm just not a jockey anymore.

Well, get back on the horse, girl. You're a natural.

I'm going to be 70 in a month.

You can believe me when I tell you that

life happens, with or without you.

So, Roy.

You and your family all set? Horses are ready.

If this little lady will join us.

Hey, you all want the Kris Furillo on our ride, don't you?

Yeah! Sounds good.

Maybe next time.

Yeah, and I have to get back with Annanda, so--

Too bad.

My family and me would love having you with us.

So. We're all set.

Remember, with or without you.

Thank you.

Hey. Hi.

What are you doing here?

Um, going out of town for a little while,

and so I just thought, maybe we should talk before I go?

I think we're all talked out.

Kris, come on.

Well, I mean I got my work thing,

and you have, you know, your trip,

I mean, can't we just leave it like that for now?

I can't. Especially after I told you why I didn't get married.

How can you?Junior--

I don't understand why you're acting like this.

Can't we just talk?

Look, there's a lot going on with me right now.

My life is complicated enough.

Wow, now I'm a complication.

Well, compared to Matt, maybe I am.

What? I don't see you

cutting him out of your life.He's my friend.

Oh, kind of like he was when you were living here?

Living here was the happiest time of my life!

And, you know, it's taken me a long time

to even work here again.

Let me figure this out.Maybe you already have.

Hey. Surprise, surprise.

Dad, what are you doing here?

Just happened to be in the neighborhood.

Business is booming, huh?Yeah, it looks that way.

Listen, I'm kind of swamped, so what do you want?

Can't a dad just drop in to say hi to his daughter?

Any other father, yes.

But you? Let's just say there's always an agenda.

You know me too well.

Play hooky with me tomorrow.To do what?

Accompany me to a thoroughbred auction.

That is so not fair. You know how much I love horse auctions.

There's a little colt I'm interested in.

I'd love to have a second opinion.

What's in it for me?

Like father, like daughter, huh?

I don't know. What do you want?

A day without manipulation?

Can you handle it?Try me.

You know, when I heard your family was hanging it up,

I just couldn't figure out why, you know?

It's been a rebuilding year, you know?

With Wildfire retired, you know, we had to start off fresh.

With his heir Flame, and the 11 other horses.

Well, we're happy to have a couple of them making their debut here.

Next time, maybe we'll have your whole stable

out for a weekend-- how's about a six-horse card?

Are you serious?

Let's see how your two colts do tomorrow.

Is your Dad here?Nah, just me.

And Pablo's on his way with Tamarac.

So, go figure. Hatfields and McCoys at it again.

Tamarac's in the first race. How about you guys?

Yeah, the same. Lucky Lapo. And Kobata in the fourth.

Ah. So we got one race against each other.

Let the competition begin.

Yeah. It hasn't already?

You tell me.

So, the dirty dozen's in for the night.

I-- I'm having some iced tea. You want some?

Sure.

Dude ranchers gone?New batch on Monday.

Love the income, but boy--

By the end of the week, it sure feels good

to have the ranch back to ourselves.

Yeah. That was my favorite part of the day,

when I lived here.

Me too.

Um-- Sorry I was so cool before.

I'm still getting used to all this.

You and me, together on our own.

I understand.

You're the reason Junior didn't get married, aren't you?

How do you feel about that?

Confused.

I understand.

I-I ask because--

I was thinking about you.

Wondering how you're doing.

I hope it's okay.

The truth is, I--

I've always considered you to be more of a mom to me than--

than mine ever was.

Top of the 9th, two outs, tying run on 2nd,

I struck you out.No, no, no, no.

There's no way you struck me out. You throw like a girl.

Coming from you, that's a compliment.

Just admit we won.You wish.

You wish I wish.

Can I get you guys anything else?

Um-- No. We're good.

Okay. Thanks.

Why is it

whenever we start ripping each other, it goes back to when we were kids?

I guess because that's the only time where

we, and not our families,

were really competing against each other.

Until now.

It's been a while, man.

What?Since we ripped on each other.

Goofed around. Talked about nothing.

Uh--

Not since your wedding.

You mean, the wedding that wasn't?

You ever regret not getting married to Laura?

She wasn't the right one.

When'd you figure that out?

Uh, the night at my dad's house.

That party he threw.

I walked in the barn, just kind of knew.

But you asked her anyway.

Even though all you wanted was Kris.

Well, not anymore.

Really?Yeah.

That seems to be the way she wants it.

Doesn't it?

Good.

What channel is it on? 50.

Where's the remote? Oh--

Oh, look under the cushions.

Oh. Okay.

It's a beautiful day for racing here in Hollywood Park,

with one horse to go.Just in time.

And they're off!

Charging hard out of the gate is Tamarac--

Tamarac. That's one of Davis's horses.

Yeah. You didn't know they were racing against us?

Mrs. O'Connor's Kid, Lucky Lapo,

and stumbling out of the gate,

Golly Gee quickly falls away.

Oh, my gosh. Look at him go. Come on, Lapo.

Oh, my gosh. Look at him go! Come on, Lapo.

Come on, Lapo. Let's go, Lapo, let's go!

Come on! He's gonna break. I know it, I know it!

I can feel it.

Come on! Yeah-ha-hah!

Let's go, Lapo. Let's go. Come on, buddy.

He's got it. You got it, you got it!

Come on! Let's go, let's go!

He almost beat Tamarac!That's unbelievable!

I mean, he placed on his first race?

I just wish we were there to be with Matt.

Me too.

Hey, when's the next race?Uh, the fourth.

Maybe we can get Matt on the phone before post time.

What?

You, here.

Watching TV. I don't know, it just--

it feels--

Feels like old times.

I missed it.

Didn't want to admit it.

I--

I know that you've been living in Dani's clinic.

And--

What would you say if I asked you to move back?

I'd say yes,

but I never thought you'd want me back.

I do.

This is right.

Whoa, wait a minute. Tamarac beat your horse.

No, no. Point taken, but--

If you remember correctly, I had two horses to race.

Kobata won his race by three lengths.

Oh, Pablo. Help me out here.

We all did good, guys. Just leave it at that.

Come on! I'm talking bragging rights. You're with us now.

No, no, no. Pablo's right.

We all deserve to celebrate.

I can't remember the last time we did this.

Probably when Kris won the Bristol Stakes, with Wildfire.

That was so long ago, I barely remember.

Now I have to grab Tamarac.Good job, Pablo.

Thanks. See you at the ranch.

All right. Thanks.

Better go check on my horses. I'm sure the guys want to take off.

I have a suggestion. Crew deals with the horses,

you ride back with me.

The Porsche? Top down.

No smell of horse manure. Just a thought.

Sure. All right, cool.

Let me drive? Don't push it.

This next horse, Hit number 32,

is out of Denver, Colorado.

Four-year-old--

Mahza's Magic. Boy, this horse can't miss.

Son of Diplomat's Fancy, out of Proud Ways.

Well, that is a hell of a lineage.

But I don't think you needed me to tell you that.

No, but it's nice to have an opinion confirmed.

A beautiful horse.

Here you go.

I think it's a great price for a filly,

but I know you're not into-- Excuse me.

Bidding starts on this horse at 57,500.

Tigress Eye, hmm?

It's a hell of a name.Yeah.

She has Affirmed in her lineage, three starts,

placed twice and showed against Secret Thief.

Too bad she's a filly.

Yeah, that's right. Filly's a dirty word over at Davis Farms.

No. Just never had any luck with racing's fairer sex.

Last time I had a winning filly was--

When? Late '80s?

You like her though, huh?

She's got good lines, that's all.

What?

You miss it.Like a kick in the head.

I have a successful veterinary practice,

thank you very much.

That is more than enough for me.

And Tigress Eye here?

She'll be someone else's champion.

Want something to drink?

Uh, no thanks. I got to get--

Hey. How about a congratulations?

We did so great today.

We did better than great!

Oh. After Kobata won, guess who came up to me? Zach Wright.

He wants us to put together a six-horse card.

You're kidding.No, no, he'll name the date.

I think the dirty dozen's finally paying off.

We're finally getting back to where we used to be.

Pretty much.

Your mom asked me to move in.

Really?

That's incredible!

Yeah. I know how much you wanted this.

Where's Mom?

Oh, she's out at the bunkhouse. Uncle Jesse asked her

to send him something in Tibet.

Well, I'll go get her. Congratulations dinner.

Hey, dude. You want to come?

I-I gotta get back home.

But congratulations. You guys really deserve it.

Yes, we do.

Junior, it's not what you think.

That's funny.

Looks like exactly what I think.

So, game plan, we have Flame, Lapo and Kobata.

There's three other slots.

And nine horses to go.

I think that we should run them in sets.

That's the best way to see who's ready.

So, let's run... Annanda with Pretzel.

We'll work Nicaya with Lancelot's Ghost,

and, uh, Driving--

I'm listening.

Yeah, a little too intently.

Matt, we need to talk.

You, me and the horses, that works, but...

you and me--

That doesn't work?

I'm always gonna care about you.

But I just want to make sure that we have the same goals.

Horses and our friendship.Friendship.

I can't control how I feel, Kris.

I need you to try.

Everything back to the way it used to be.

Okay.

Well, let's get back to these horses, then.

Eat that, I throw like a girl.

Wish you hadn't seen that.

No worries. Yeah, I was just--

...responding to what's bothering you?

Kind of. Yeah, pretty much.

Wedding, Kris-- Doesn't take Dr. Phil.

Okay. I give up.

Apparently, everyone knows why I called off my wedding.

Just everyone with a pulse.Funny.

I never knew you had a sense of humor.

You also probably know that she's getting back with Matt.

I mean, she's moving back to Raintree.

Says who? Jean.

I mean, she asked her back.

She didn't ask her back with Matt, I just

figure...

Isn't that the same thing?

Okay. How come every time I talk to you about Kris,

I feel like I'm asking a dad to go out with his daughter?

You love her.

More than you could imagine.Then do something about it.

Right this way. There you are.

Hi. Hi.

Thanks for coming. Oh.

And accepting another one of my invitations.

It seems I've seen more of you than Junior lately.

Even though he and I live in the same house.

Yeah, well, Junior's been busy.

horse racing, wind turbines--

Well, I don't know about the wind turbines,

but as far as horse racing goes,

he seems to have lost his focus.

Listen, I was going to ease into this,

but I might as well cut to the chase.

What would you think about coming back?

No thanks.

I got a call from a friend at the racing board recently,

congratulating me on your reinstatement.

Yeah, well, racing's way too small of a world.

Why didn't you tell me that you got your license back?

Because "A," it's none of your business,

and "B," I'm not even sure that I care.

Oh, you care. I saw that at the horse auction.

Listen, we both know that

Junior will never fully embrace

his Davis Farms birthright.

You're the real heir.

No. I'm the owner of an equine veterinary center.

You and Junior, you pushed me out, remember?

Frankly, I-- I like my life a whole lot better this way.

Then why did you pursue getting your license back?

I didn't. It just happened.

Racing was bad for me.

I'm happier now. And healthier.

You can't tell me you don't miss it.

You're like me. Racing's in your blood.

Not anymore. You did everything you could to cure me of that.

Come on, Dani-- Dad--

Don't.

Don't look at me like that.

I know I promised you a ride today,

but those colts aren't going to train themselves.

First thing tomorrow, I promise.

I'd say surprise, but, it just didn't sound right.

Hey, um, I just came to apologize about yesterday.

On a scale of 1 to 10, my idiot quota

was around a 15.

I just can't seem to reel in my emotions.

Apology unaccepted. I get it.

Um, all right. Well, there's just one more thing.

Look, I need to ask you a question.

We've been through a lot. Together, and apart.

But before my--

thewedding,

you told me that we had a connection--

and not just a connection, but theconnection--

the one people spend their whole life trying to find.

And yeah, I know that I ignored it,

and told you we couldn't be friends if I got married,

but if you recall, I also kissed you.

And not just kissed you, but kissedyou.

Big. So big, I carried it with me

all the way up to the altar.

I screwed up a million times with us.

So I have to ask you, I--

I just need to know if we have a future together.

What does that tell you?

I just didn't want to believe that you canceled your wedding for me.

Why? You told me I'm the only one for you.

Because I've learned that if something seems

too good to be true, it probably is.

What about now? Well--

I'm ready to believe.

I love you, Junior Davis. I love you so much.

Good boy.

You're up early.

Yeah, I couldn't really sleep.

Just wanted to start the day.

Huh, boy?

What's wrong?I'm worried about you.

I...saw you and-and Junior.

Yesterday. Together.

When I asked you to move back in,

I wasn't expecting this complication,

and we both know, it's a complication.

You mean with Matt.Yeah!

With Matt, but not just him.

It's a complication

with everyone.

You said yourself, this is a really confusing time,

and the emotions are so raw

for both you and Junior--

I just don't want you to jump into something.

Without knowing where your heart is.

That's all.

Hey.

Hey. You got a minute?

Uh, is this about Dad?Dad? No.

Oh.Would you sign that for me?

Well, okay then. What?

It's Kris. I think we're finally getting together.

For real this time.

Okay. Well, I always knew you guys would end up together.

Even when I was totally against it.

So, do we get the Dani Davis Seal of Approval?

Does it matter what I think?

Go ahead. Be happy for a change.

Ah. I just can't believe,

with everything that we've gone through,

this is actually going to happen.

Oh, don't kid yourself. There's still plenty to go through.

There's Dad, and Matt--

Yeah, pretty much everyone, but I don't care.

I feel like I've been waiting for this my entire life.

All I want to do is, just be with Kris.

You don't even realize it, do you?

You never know when it can all just disappear.

I mean, I had that with R.J.,

and it was taken from me in an instant.

Well, what about Noah?

It's different.

I mean, R.J. was the one.

Don't be an idiot

and let her slip through your fingertips this time.

Life's too short.

Okay.

I won't.

Nose Ring. Yeah, I think so.

He's our sixth. Yup.

All right, girl. I'll check him out.

Good stuff, Matt.

Kris has moved back in, huh?

Yeah. Hey. Thanks.

Here we go.

I want her to live at Raintree. You're sure?

Everything she's done since she's come back to town has helped us.

I mean, you've got to admit that.

Yeah. I miss her.

I've had a hole in my heart ever since she left.

I want her to live with us.

She's as much a part of this place as I am,

or Matt is, or you are--

How are things at Davis?

Business as usual.

Because with Kris back,

you're the only piece of the puzzle that's missing here.

Gotta get back to work. Yeah.

Yeah, they need you.

What's wrong?Nothing. It's just--

I'm just so afraid of messing everything up.

What, with you and Matt?

Yeah, I mean, everything's going so well.

Working together, trying to find the right six horses

for Hollywood Park, and--

I mean, me and Jean, it's like I've never left.

Even when she saw us together yesterday--

Whoa. She saw us together?

Yeah, but it's not what you think.

She's just-- She's worried about all of us.

She's concerned that we're rushing into things.

Do you feel that way?

I just--

I don't want to give up everything

that I've just gotten back here.

At Raintree.

You mean,

how can you live at Raintree when you're with me?

♪ Josie's on a vacation far away ♪

What if you didn't live at Raintree?

What if you lived with me?

Marry me.

We talked about getting in my car and driving away.

What if we actually did?

I know it's crazy, and scary,

but--

I want to be with you now.

Forever.

Marry me, Kris.

Yes!

♪ You know I'd do anything for you ♪

Let me get my things.

Ah. Yeah, me too. Um--

Okay. I'll meet you at the Raintree Gate at 6:00?

That should give us enough time, right?Mm-hmm.

Wait.

Is this what you really want?

I should be asking you the same question.

Well, you have the hard choice to make.

Yeah, you're asking me to choose between you and Raintree.

Yes, I am.

Please, choose me.

I do.

You know how much I love Raintree.

But I love Junior just as much.

I'll be back, I promise.

Kris!

Whoa-ho. Easy.

Easy. Ho.

Whoa, whoa.

Whoa, whoa.

Easy, easy!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Easy.

Hey. Been looking for you.

I want to show you that horse I just got at the auction.

Actually, I'm kind of in a hurry.

It won't take but a couple of minutes.

I know. But I've got to be somewhere by 6:00. So I'll just check it out tomorrow.

I'd prefer you'd check it out now.

Listen, horse racing pays the bills around here.

You need to get up to speed with our latest investment.

Besides, Dani's on her way over, and I thought the three of us

could grab a little dinner together, you know?

Like old times.

Dad, I would love to take a trip down Nostalgia Road,

but as I said before, I got plans.

What could be more important than a family dinner?

Actually--

Hey, she's going to be here any minute.

We need to take a look at that horse.

Whatever your plans are, they can wait!

Okay. Are you okay? All right. Whoa, whoa.

Just like Wildfire. He comes straight to you.

We've got to channel all that energy into his racing.

Here, boy. Julio's going to take him out

for a quarter-mile breeze. You want to come watch?

I-I can't.

There's something at the house I have to take care of.

Well, we'll be waiting for you.

They're early.

24 of them, if you can believe it.

Want to help me check them in?

I could really use the help.

Finally. Tell Dad I officially saw you.

Where is he? In the barn.

Good. There's something I need to talk to you both about.

Can't this wait? I really have somewhere I need to be.

Junior, this is important.

I guess you made your decision about Junior.

I'm sorry.

Hey, I--

I admire that you realized you

couldn't live here and be with Junior.

I'll tell Matt. It's better that way.

This place means so much to me. It's okay.

We love you.

Take care of yourself.

Mahza's a late season foal, so I think he needs

another couple of months in the pasture before

Pablo starts training him.

Good plan.

I wanted to talk about our lunch yesterday.

Oh, yeah. So did I.

Listen, Junior. I asked Dani to come back

and run the racing operations for me.

For you? Don't you mean, for us?

Of course. I think you've shown that horse racing's not your thing,

and you have to admit, Dani is the true heir

to the racing legacy here.Stop.

Look. Let's make something perfectly clear.

I'm not coming back.

Why can't you see, Dad?

This is the reason why I never want to be

a part of Davis Farms again.

Come on, you love horse racing. Yeah.

And maybe someday I'll return to it.

But even if I do, it won't be here.

I don't want to be

in competition with Junior anymore.

Not for the family business,

or for your approval.

What are you talking about?

Stop trying to make me and Junior rivals.

That was never my intention.

Could have fooled us.

Well, when you lived here, I admit, I always thought

a little friendly competition brought out the best

in both of you.

That's why I don't live here anymore.

I said I want to do it differently this time.

I know you do. But I also know that you can't.

Even if you tried.

I mean, you are who you are, and I am who I am,

and Dad, I can't come back here.

Not now. Not ever.

All right. Fair enough.

But I hope it doesn't prevent you

from accepting a present from me.

I bought Tigress Eye, hoping you and I could race her together.

But now, listen. No strings attached.

You race her, you don't race her, it's totally up to you.

We can keep her here, right, Pablo?

I'll give her about a week to acclimate,

then start trotting her out.

If and when you're ready to go back to racing

on your own terms, she'll be here waiting for you.

I just got here.

So, we really going to do this?

Yeah. We are.
