Original subtitles

And now, time for our cutest event,

Edgewater's mutton busters.

Holding on for dear life.

Now, don't be sheepish.

Ooh.

All right, all right, that was actually ten.

So, the FFA girl in you is still kicking, huh?

Yep. You know how many hours I did this

behind my dad's barn growing up?

Same barn we used to sneak beers into?

Oh, no, you snuck beers.

- Hmm. - I snuck BB guns.

To outshoot me with.

Oh, don't blame me, blame the beers.

Okay. All right, that's fair.

- You know what? I'll give you that. - Okay.

Leone and MacKenzie.

- Oh. - Takes me back to Edgewater High.

Feels like just yesterday I was

cutting class to practice riding.

Yeah, with Bode covering for you.

Always.

Damn right.

Now look at you, world champ bronc rider Buck Benson

gracing us here with his presence.

You shut your mouth.

Rodeo keeps me on the road 200 days a year.

Got you tickets to this one, though, didn't I?

Thank you.

- Good to see you, Chlo. - Long time, Buck.

Long time.

I, uh, I heard about Tyler.

Yeah, it's not as straightforward

- as it sounds, I... - Hey, look,

you don't owe me answers. All right?

The hell we put our mothers through, back in the day?

You just, you got that look about you. Sorry to see it.

Yeah, it's just nonstop negotiating his deal

through lawyers and...

First she's seen the sun since Tyler's release.

- Yeah. - Yeah, you twisted my arm.

You deserve one day of fun.

I do.

Yeah, I... Oh, God. Hold on.

- Yeah. - All right.

Oh, it's Tyler's lawyer. I got to... I'm so sorry.

- I... - No worries.

Hello? Hi.

Yeah. Yes.

You finally pulled the trigger, huh?

On what?

Okay, so we're gonna pretend, are we?

Like all you talked about in the ninth grade

wasn't Chloe MacKenzie.

Ninth grade was a long time ago.

I'm-I'm helping a friend.

Oh, friend? Is that 'cause she wants it that way

or 'cause you're too chicken?

Like in high school?

What you waiting on, cowboy? Why not now?

- I appreciate you coming. - Yeah. Bet.

Eve, we're gonna be late.

I'm here, I'm here. I had to restore Three Rock's hot water.

Ooh, look at that, George.

Baby's first rodeo.

No. No, it's not.

No, let me hear you say it, coz.

It's not my first rodeo.

Your side of the family has always been corny.

That's the first thing I'm changing,

now that I'm in charge of the ranch.

Okay, well, listen.

So grateful that you are keeping it in the family, coz.

Truly.

Don't. Your brothers already got sentimental on me.

Now, you're making us even more late.

Wait, what's that?

A horse, Eve, to sell at the rodeo.

Well, you're not selling that horse. That's LJ.

Lucky Junior. Lucky's girl.

Yeah, I delivered her with my own two hands.

Hey, girl.

Well, now you can help deliver her

to the highest paying customer.

I absolutely will not, George. She's family.

And see, this is why you're not a rancher.

- You're too sentimental. - Okay.

Horses are meant to be sold. It's-it's her time.

Well, her name is LJ.

And I call her 10K in my pocket.

- George... - Eve, get in the truck.

LJ, you didn't hear that. And this ain't over.

So what are you gonna say for your grand entry?

"Welcome to the Edgewater Rodeo."

You've got some really big shoes to fill.

I think you need some sizzle.

Okay, well, then, I'll throw in a smile and a wave.

Oh, that should help absolutely no one.

How about,

"After the year our community has been through,

we need this rodeo as an emblem of our healing"?

I like it. Hand me my phone.

I'll take some notes.

- Really? - Mm-hmm.

Oh, my God. You joined a dating app?

- Look at Jessica. - Okay, no, give it to me.

- Come on. - Ooh, Jessica looks like a lot.

Uh, Sandra wants kids. Nope.

- Look at Camille. She looks smart. - Okay.

- No... - Thank you.

I don't even want to be on this thing.

Gabriela's the one who told me,

"Hey, Dad, you should give it a shot."

All the kids are doing it.

Well, that's just it, man. I'm not a kid.

What ever happened to meeting people in real life?

Like at a bar, you know what I mean?

Yeah, how's that going for you, Grandpa?

You reeling 'em in at Smokey's?

Oh, man. So how's it going with you and Bode boy?

Oh, you know...

In three weeks, my son and I have...

completely ignored the elephant in the room.

Chloe and Tyler?

Yeah. Every day, I

bite my tongue, but who knows?

Today might be easier, if you will just let me pick

the next love of your life on a dating app for you.

No.

I'm not your reality TV.

All right, thank you so much.

Now, these are my favorite every year.

- All right... - Yo, hey. Sorry we're late.

Oh, late? Did we have plans, man?

We were busy, uh, doing a thing.

Oh, nice.

What, like your second tier?

- No. Well, it wasn't that. Uh... - You sure?

We were at a open house. Took longer than we thought.

- Huh. - Yeah, there was a steam shower.

- Oh. - It hurt to leave, honestly.

Where's Chloe?

She's on the phone with Tyler's lawyer.

- Mm. - Hold up. Wait, wait a minute. Wait.

Y'all up in here making me the fifth wheel?

Uh, no.

'Cause you're over here dating Chloe...

- Except I'm not. - Okay.

Are you sure?

Yeah, no, you-you dating.

And then, you over here crashing with Violet

while Chloe and Tyler are crashing at your place,

- and now you house-hunting? - We're not buying a house.

Well, we might be, soon.

- With what down payment? - Your signing bonus.

Violet applied to a firm that consults Cal Fire.

- Congrats. - Welcome. I love that.

- Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. - I don't have the job yet.

Okay, no, but, look, when you do,

then we will get a bigger place to host the whole family.

I mean, look, the apartment is tight quarters

right now with everybody, plus Malcolm,

- Margot... - That's sweet.

Um, I've always had an eye on Jake's apartment.

But he was telling me that your studio has

better lighting than his place.

And he's right. I do have better lighting.

- Well, sign me up. - Please take your seats

- I got you. - That's cool. Whatever.

- You do. - I'm-a just let it slide.

You know what? The grand entry is starting now, so let's go.

- I'm gonna, um... - You're gonna wait

for your date, Chloe?

'Cause y'all cute or whatever.

- All right. - We'll save y'all seats.

Let's go.

Put your hands together for Edgewater's own Buck Benson.

And now, entering the ring,

your Grand Marshal, Cal Fire Battalion Chief

Manuel Perez!

Yeah!

How we doing, Edgewater?

I said, how we doing?

Man, after the year we've all gone through,

ain't it great to be back?

Tyler's lawyer likes to talk.

- What's the update? - Um...

The trial is in a week, unless we strike up a deal.

The D.A.'s optimistic.

Then today, how about you put that thing away?

Be here with me.

Yeah.

So, let me be the first person to say...

Okay.

Welcome to the 58th Annual

Edgewater Rodeo and Stock Show.

Yeah.

You know...

I always wanted to take Chloe MacKenzie to the rodeo.

You did not.

Record shows that

we may have spent some time in your dad's barn, yeah?

- Yeah. - Well,

one night, we were shooting targets...

Oh, record shows that I kicked your ass.

Established.

- Yeah. - And in that barn,

I said the rodeo could be fun.

And then, you said...

Bode Leone wouldn't be caught dead at the rodeo.

I know, 'cause you wouldn't.

But I would have.

With you.

Oh, I get it now.

Pretending to look out for Tyler just to steal my girl.

She's not your anything.

And you want to get out of here, for everybody's sake.

Hey. Hey.

I-I'm just trying to enjoy the rodeo, like everyone else.

All right, well, then get to it.

She's not worth all this trouble, man.

She's not that special.

Keep running your mouth,

you're not gonna like how this ends.

I wouldn't underestimate me, Leone.

Landon, enough.

- Synced and corrected by synk - - www.addic7ed.com -

Okay, well, that was, uh,

that was fun while it lasted. I-I-I-I'm leaving.

Because of Landon? No. Don't let him win.

Buck is about to ride.

He-He's the one who invited us. I...

If you want to leave after that, I'll drive you home.

Yes? Say yes.

Okay, yes.

- Chief Perez? - Yeah?

You guys need some fir... first aid?

We'd love a photo with the hot chief.

Oh. The hot... Okay, yeah.

Excuse me, ladies.

Um, hey, there's a line.

Oh. No. I'm not... Uh, no.

Not here for the kissing booth.

It's not... Uh, no, it's just a photo op with the chief.

Want one?

Oh, no, I'm good. Okay, um, I don't...

Why is that happening in front of my medical tent?

- Your tent? - Yeah.

I'm Dr. Camille Thurston.

- Oh, wait, y-you're the rodeo doctor? - Mm-hmm.

- Yeah. You surprised? - Not at all.

You're just not really dressed like one, so it threw me off.

Oh, well, looks can be deceiving.

I mean you're giving more, uh, Backstreet Boy

than battalion chief.

- Hey, um, we've been waiting... - Are you're saying I'm cute?

- Sorry. - I'm so sorry. I'm sorry.

I'll let you get back to your... your fan club here.

- My fan club... - Excuse me, ladies.

Just need to get through here.

Yeah.

Yeah, let's, uh...

Rodeo!

Next up in chute three,

four-time World Champion,

Edgewater's own Buck Benson.

Yeah!

Let's go, Buck.

Let's go.

See, now, that is a horse

that deserves to be sold. Not LJ.

George was right. You're getting soft.

- Don't listen to George. - Just saying.

He's just standing there.

It's eerie. I thought bucking broncos bucked.

- Yeah, that's not a good sign. - Yeah, Eve's right.

I've been around horses enough to know that

- he's not gonna be an easy ride. - All right, buckle up, Buck!

Buck's about to take on a devil-eyed bronc

from High Bluff.

Put your hands together for Titan!

Was the popcorn line crazy? You were gone forever.

No, the line was fine. I, uh,

I just had to take care of some business.

That sounds ominous.

Not ominous. Fruitful.

- Fruitful? - Throw it again.

Okay. All right, look,

let's just say that I see a bathroom...

with a steam shower in our future.

- What? - Yup. That's right. Uh-huh.

Did you put in an offer on the house without me?

Uh, no.

No, I just made a call.

- What kind of call? - Well,

as Cal Fire captain,

I called in my recommendation to get Violet the job.

Oh. As someone...

Like, as a person who can speak on the

merits of my legal expertise?

Mm, no.

I mean, as your boyfriend.

Oh, my God.

- You did not... - Dude.

Your heart was in the right place, so that's sweet.

You don't have to say that

just 'cause you're new to the group.

Stop. Stop.

All right, listen, is it, is it that bad?

Jake, my boyfriend, called to influence

the decision of my prospective employer's choice to hire me.

- Yeah. - Who, technically,

as Cal Fire captain, is a client of that employer.

Oh, yeah, no, that-that's... that's bad.

Buck and Titan hit 88 points up in Centralia.

Can they beat 88 today?

About to give the nod.

There you go. There you go.

Let's give 'em a show.

You got this.

And...

the gate is open!

Four seconds. Five.

But it looks like Titan isn't done with Buck Benson.

Come here, Buck.

We're all right.

We've got to stop meeting like this.

I think it's a tradition now, Lindsey.

I mean, since you did find your way

onto the back of an animal

last year also.

You know, you don't have to hurt yourself, Nelson.

You can just come to my tent and visit me.

Took my eyes off him for one minute,

and he snuck onto a sheep.

- Just had to try mutton busting. - Well,

next year, you can try riding backwards.

It's way harder to fall off that way.

Oh, there won't be a next year.

I'll just do it when you're not looking.

Nelson.

Kids are gonna be kids.

At any age.

See you next year.

Same time, same place?

Say thank you.

Nelson. Thank you.

Does she look familiar to you?

I think she's one of my matches.

Oh, yes, that's smart-looking Camille. Check it.

Where-where'd she go? She was here.

She un-matched me.

That's a thing?

I mean, I had a match,

and now I don't. I guess so.

Why would she un-match me? I mean... Right?

Mm, I don't know.

I don't know what it means, but it feels

a little embarrassing, doesn't it?

- Yeah, a little bit embarrassing. Thanks. - Mm...

All right, here I go.

Thanks for that hand, brother.

- Hey. - Titan was on one today, huh?

Ah, you know. Got the juices flowing a little bit.

Leone.

- Oh, yeah. - What you pulled off back there, man...

What a guy.

Here, have a beer on me.

I don't drink.

This a buddy of yours?

Definitely not.

No. No, no, no, no, no.

Go on. Take it.

Landon, cut it out.

- Take it. - Get off me, man.

What the hell, man?

Easy, easy! Easy!

LJ! Whoa, whoa, LJ!

- George! - Out of the way!

Out! Move, move, move. Everyone, out of the way.

Greencrest, Division 1501.

I'm on scene at Edgewater Rodeo,

and I have multiple patients with traumatic injuries

from rogue horses.

I'm declaring an MCI. I'm gonna take I.C.

I need Animal Control and PD.

Uh, folks, listen up. If you can

get up and walk, please do so.

And if you can't, we will come and get you.

- Chief. - Oh.

- Ms. Sharon. - You okay?

I'm all right, yeah, yeah.

Things got crazy quick.

Uh, they got one of the broncs roped already,

and my guys are all over trying to corral Titan.

That's great. And there's a third horse?

Uh, yeah.

She got away with George on top of her.

They could be anywhere.

- I'm gonna go help with Titan. - Okay.

Grab a med bag. You find George.

Let's get a vet bag, too.

- Good idea. - Okay.

- There you go, Chief. - Thank you. Thank you.

You okay? You're bleeding. You all right?

Oh. Yeah, I'll just go to the medical tent. It's fine.

- I'll go with you. - Cal Fire rodeo support,

on-duty and off,

we can use all the support we can get now.

Stay here, just do your thing.

I'm-I'm-I'm gonna go. I'm a big girl, promise.

Chief Perez, I think you have 15 to 20 patients incoming.

Copy, Chief. We're ready for them.

Where do you need me?

I can't find my mom.

Hey, Nelson. It's me, Sharon. Remember?

I gave you that earlier. This is my son.

We can help you find her.

- Come with us, yeah? - Yeah. Come on, buddy.

We'll find her. Don't worry.

All right, Landon. That someone we should worry about?

He doesn't feel like a "water under the bridge"

- type of guy. - Nope.

You overstepping Violet, should we worry about that?

I was helping, all right? She wants the job.

Well, she became a lawyer on her own, without you.

You're inserting yourself.

Me? You the one that's been telling George

how to run the damn ranch all day.

Yo, you hear that?

There he is.

George.

Hey, I.C., we found George.

Send a medic to the horse chutes for transport.

- Copy. - What the hell happened, man?

Got caught in the reins when she took off.

Managed to get loose, but

she stepped on my arm pretty good on the way down.

Well, look like LJ is not trying to be sold today.

- Hmm. - Yeah, I know.

- Ah. - Come here, G.

Let's see what we got.

Yup. Looks like a compound fracture.

Okay. Let me prep a sam splint before we get him moving.

Look, don't worry about me. Go after the horse.

She ran off outside

towards the riding trail.

Well, you know, I love LJ,

but she's not my priority. You are.

You don't understand.

Look, we need the money from her sale

for Elroy's glaucoma surgery.

Insurance won't cover it.

I didn't want to worry you.

Well, I'll find LJ. I promise.

All right, y'all. I need a sam splint here.

Compound fracture.

All right, bud, let's move.

This way.

All right, we're gonna find your mom any minute, okay, buddy?

Uh, there she is.

Okay, Nelson, you're gonna hang out with my friend here, okay?

All right. Yeah.

While we're gonna go help your mom, all right?

Thank you.

Get him to the reunification tent.

It's Chief Leone from earlier.

Can you tell me where it hurts?

My chest.

In the stampede, I got run over.

Hey, I need, I need a med bag.

Gurney. Bring the gurney, too. Thanks.

Where's Nelson?

He's with our firefighters. He's safe.

Okay.

I just saw them, two seconds ago,

- and they were fine, and now... - Now what?

Are you implying that now she's not because of me?

I tried to hold on to him, but

everyone was pushing. I...

- His hand slipped. - He's a, he's a brave little dude.

Um, do you have any pain anywhere else you feel?

- Nothing? - No.

Just your chest? Okay.

Can you squeeze my fingers?

- Good. - Excellent. Okay.

No signs of paralysis, but we're still gonna take you

to the med tent to do some further exams. Come in.

Hey, I just talked to Sharon, still no sign of LJ.

Yeah, well, she's 1,200 pounds and 15 hands tall.

I mean, she couldn't have disappeared.

Oh, LJ.

Okay.

Hey, girl. Hey. I'm so sorry.

I take it you know your way around a patient,

Mr. Grand Marshal.

Oh, you don't have to worry about me.

You know, I never imagined that I would meet

a dating app match in real life.

Scratch that, a former match.

Didn't make the cut.

Lindsey here was injured in the stampede.

Blunt force trauma to the chest.

Hi, Lindsey. I'm Dr. Thurston.

Chief Perez and I have you now.

It seems like there's something you want to say.

Bode, I...

I've tried to make peace

with your decision to house Tyler and Chloe, but...

It's been three weeks. Today, it bothers you?

No, it bothers me every single day,

but then you have to bring Chloe here publicly, too?

Am I only supposed to do the right thing when it's easy?

How is you bringing Chloe here the right thing?

Everyone knows Tyler's part in the fire.

That's-that's not temporary.

It's for the rest of her life.

So, what, is she supposed to just hide forever?

Of course not, but why is it you that has to bring her here?

Do you not get what people think?

I'm not gonna worry about what other people think.

What about all those innocent people that got hurt?

Yeah, I-I feel terrible about that,

but that was because of Landon. That's not on me.

And it sure as hell isn't Chloe's fault. Uh...

Uh, Chief, I found LJ.

She's on the west side of the arena, by the riding trail.

She fell through the walking bridge.

I'm gonna initiate a large animal rescue.

Legs look good, just wrapped in wire.

LJ, I'm so sorry.

Okay, Eve, we got to find a way

- to get her to calm down. - Um...

Okay, give me half a dose of tranq,

blindfold, and, uh, the thermometer.

Okay. Go put this on her.

Mm-hmm.

I'm so sorry, girl.

I told George that I would protect you, and I just...

Hey, hey.

And you will.

Hey.

You thinking what I'm thinking?

Tell I.C. I need wire cutters, recip saw, webbing,

and a tractor. Now.

Good girl.

Easy, now.

Okay.

It's getting dark. I just hope this kicks in soon.

Hey, Jake. Wait for the tranquilizer to kick in

before using the recip saw.

All right. Ready whenever you are.

All right. Good girl.

- Good girl. - All right.

Okay.

The tranq has kicked in. Go ahead.

- Hey, what's up, bud? - What do you need?

I'm gonna need the wire cutters over there,

so I can get this fencing off of her.

There you go.

Here.

Thanks.

- She sedated? - Yeah, had to

'cause she was cutting herself on the wood.

That's gonna make getting her up and out of here...

A pain in the ass?

What?

Deadlifting 1,200 pounds?

Y'all can't do that with your muscles?

But for real, though, I don't know if I'll forgive myself

if we don't get her out of here in one piece.

Hey.

I told you, we got you.

LJ means a lot to you, huh?

Well, birthing her last year was...

first time I felt like I was back on the ranch.

We all came together. I mean...

she's family.

All right, Jake.

We got all this wire out of here.

- Toss me some webbing. - Let me get the hoses.

There, go.

All right, Lindsey, you just hang in there.

You're gonna be on the next ambulance out of here.

You caught me.

I unmatched you.

Yeah.

My pride, ouch.

It's not your pretty face, don't worry.

Oh, so you admit I got a pretty face.

I just don't date firefighters.

Hmm.

But you do know we are universally desired, right?

- They make calendars about it. - Oh, that.

That calendar energy, and that energy with your little

- fan club earlier... - My fan club?

Yeah, that's frat boy energy.

I did that. I did that before.

I'm now looking for something more, um...

adult.

Her pressure's dropping.

Heart sounds are muffled. We need to check her neck.

Her jugular's distended. Cardiac tamponade?

Yeah, the force of the fall must've injured the sac

around Lindsey's heart. Now, it's filling with blood.

Making it difficult for her heart to beat.

Greencrest, what's the ETA on that next ambulance?

20 minutes out.

Can't wait that long.

- Pericardiocentesis? - Yes.

And as the one of us with a medical degree,

I don't need you challenging me on my call.

And as the one of us with a radio,

I just want to know if you'd like me to speed up the ambo.

Yeah, that'd be great.

Greencrest, Battalion 1508.

We need a Type I ambulance to the Edgewater Rodeo ASAP.

- Copy, 1508. - Yeah.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Thought she was tranq'd.

No, it's-it's wearing off.

Hey, Jake, how much longer for the tractor?

'Cause this tranq is wearing off.

It's got, like, five more minutes.

- Yup, we ready to roll. - Good.

There you go, okay?

All right, I'm coming to you guys.

All right. Up.

Hey, hey, hey. I'm-I'm tipping.

I got an idea. Bode, you say with LJ.

Hi.

Um, they'll fix you up real quick in the medical tent.

Um...

Uh, uh... I'll go once everyone

who's seriously injured gets... gets seen.

Then I'll go.

Let me see what I can do.

Landon was the one that provoked those horses to-to freak out,

to hurt all these people.

Bode cleared that up for me.

Why does he get to wreak havoc everywhere he goes

and never have to answer for it?

Just keep light pressure on that till you get to the other tent.

Okay.

Thank you.

Okay, there's the pericardium.

You good with more than just a radio?

- What do you need? - Hand me the needle.

And you take this.

Okay. Got it.

All right.

Okay. A little bit to...

The left. Got it.

All right, there's the needle.

Don't move.

Hang in there, Lindsey.

We're losing her.

Don't doubt me, Chief Perez.

Pressure's stabilizing.

Pulse is bouncing back.

- Nice. - Thanks.

Hang me the gauze.

Here you go.

Let's get her moving.

- Nice work. - Thank you.

All right, we're good.

Counterweight of that should give us enough balance

to get LJ out.

Look at you knowing how to do this stuff.

You know, perks of growing up on a ranch.

LJ's waking up over here.

All right, Jake, let's give it a try.

All right, I got you.

- Ready? - Yup.

All right, bring it up.

All good.

Up.

All right, start moving over.

Easy.

All right, now, bring it, bring it down.

Bringing.

Bringing 'em down.

Easy. Easy.

- There you go. Down. - Easy, easy.

Ah, you're good.

I told you I'd get you.

Good job. Good job.

Good girl.

Jake, Buck's pursuing Titan.

They're headed toward the walking bridge.

Keep your heads on a swivel.

Yeah, all right. Copy, Chief.

Hey, uh, B, you're up.

We need eyes on Buck.

We don't need them running through this rescue.

- Eve and I'll take care of LJ. - We got it.

Yeah.

Bode. Bode!

I need another rope. Try to cut him off by the eastern corral.

Come on.

Hey. Shh, shh, shh...

Yah! Yah!

- I'm coming up behind you! - He's headed towards the ambulance.

Bode!

Everyone, get out of the way.

Bode! I need that rope!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

- Hyah! - Hyah!

Tie the anchor.

I got him. I got him.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

You good, Chief?

Yeah, it was close, but we're good.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

You big brute. Hey, hey, hey.

You gave us a show, hey? Yeah.

Good work.

Some fancy riding for a fireman.

- No, lucky. Lucky for us. - Yeah.

Good job, guys.

Hey, if you have something to whisper about back there

in the corner, maybe you should tell the whole class.

I...

I mean, it doesn't really sit well with some of us,

cheering on Bode, when...

when he's the one that caused this mess.

Like, he came after me.

Oh, so you're the victim here?

You, who came into my station and threatened me.

And then destroyed a young man's life through abuse.

Who showed up here today to intimidate that boy's mother.

At a rodeo, where people in this town are trying

to find their way back to joy, but not with you here.

Not with you here to ruin things.

A small man who needs to hurt others to feel good.

So I'm the aggressor now? Me?

I don't know. Should we go to the surveillance tent

and see who started this whole thing?

'Cause if you need somebody to blame,

take my word for it and blame him.

Hey, bud.

Got you some rib tips from Mabel's.

No one should be forced to eat

the chicken from the can they serve in the cafeteria.

- I'm not hungry. - Why not?

A compound fracture, it'll heal in a few months.

But the ranch, Eve.

Triple E needs me now, and...

Elroy gave me this opportunity, and...

I'm letting him and all of you down.

I'll do it.

I'll run the ranch.

How? I mean, what about Three Rock?

I'll worry about that. You worry about healing.

I'll take the reins until you, uh, get back on your feet.

You're serious.

Now, see?

Over here making my food cold.

Lindsey's at Edgewater Memorial.

Oh. Well, I'm sure I'll see her tomorrow.

- What? - Oh, I work in the ER.

Yeah, my-my, uh, rodeo-doctor gig,

it's just a moonlighting situation.

Kind of like my grand marshaling.

I... Well, less flashy, but yeah.

I think I tweaked my back dodging that horse.

I can get you a 'scrip, if you need.

Painkillers?

Not unless you want to see me at a casino

after a five-day bender.

I'm in recovery.

- Just being careful. - Yeah.

Got bucked off a few years back.

I broke my hip, and...

shaking oxycodone, that was, that was no joke.

You a bronc rider?

Bulls.

- Bulls, come on. - Yeah.

Oh, let me guess, I don't look like I do that.

Wasn't the only one making assumptions today.

Okay.

Yeah, I-I don't know many frat boys

who can go beat for beat with me

on a pericardiocentesis, so, yeah.

I was wrong about you.

Yes, you were.

So, vet me.

What do you want to know?

I... You tell me.

I love my job.

Probably a little too much.

Everyone told me that I, uh, I needed to get a life.

So, I thought joining the apps

would give me a shot at doing that.

So, the-the kissing booth earlier...

- Wasn't a kissing booth. - Mm.

- Wasn't even a photobooth. - Oh...

- It was respecting the firefighter. - Okay, come on.

But you enjoyed that, at least a little bit, didn't you?

- Little bit. - Yeah.

Did you just re-match me?

I did.

Do you want to go grab a bite sometime?

I do.

What?

What?

Okay, two-two out of three.

So she can beat you again?

Eve. How's George?

His arm's gonna take a few months to really heal,

so we're gonna have a little bit of a leadership problem...

thanks, bud... at the ranch.

And my brothers don't want to step up

- for that added responsibility. - So

you want to do it until George heals.

I know it sounds crazy, but, you know,

and Three Rock's a full-time job.

- I just... - So, don't do it alone.

We'll help.

- For real? - Well,

it's a family business, isn't it? We're family.

Whatever you need.

- Tell me you have cows. - Of course.

Two of my favorites: Tabasco and Shy Barbara.

Aw.

And you know what? Violet can also be...

Actually, let me double-check with Violet

before I volunteer her.

Good man. See my boy over here? He learning.

- Do you have pics of Shy Barbara? - Of course I do.

- I want to see. - This is the screensaver.

Okay, thanks.

Yeah, I'm so looking forward to it.

Okay.

Bye.

Did you get it?

- You-you got it? You got it? - I got it.

- This-this calls for champagne. - Wait.

Wait?

What do you, what do you, what do you mean, wait? No.

No. Okay. Listen to me.

You did not get this because of my call.

Okay?

You got this because of you.

Thank you.

But...

No, that's not it.

Um...

This job means counseling all Cal Fire stations,

including 42.

Yeah, well, that's the upside.

Right?

You know, working together?

Yeah.

I mean, I thought so, but, um,

according to company policy...

we can't be a couple if I take the job.

Dating you is a conflict of interest.

And my call flagged our relationship loud and clear.

Uh, pretty much. Yeah.

They said they would give me some time

to get my affairs in order before I start.

They can't make us not date.

Can they?

No. No.

But...

they can rescind my job offer.

That, uh, rodeo really went sideways today, huh?

I don't know about that. I mean,

I got to see you and Buck reunite, and, uh...

...Landon got outed.

So, that's a pretty good rodeo in my book.

- I do want to, I want to know something. - Hmm?

If you had taken me to the rodeo, uh, back then,

what were you picturing?

I don't know.

You, me, rodeo. Fun.

Yeah?

And then?

Suppose then we would've...

came back to Smokey's and...

sat at a high top, shared a...

plate of fries.

And then?

Then I would've stolen a beer

for you behind the bar, trying to impress you.

Oh, well, that-that would've, that would've impressed me

very much.

'Cause while you were taking a sip,

I'd finally work up the courage to kiss Chloe MacKenzie.

Hmm.

Then do it.
