- Any marriage is tough under any circumstances.

- You know, the hardest part about this is just

What it's gonna do to carson. - And that's it.

Rick adderly is the next mayor of hudson.

- Oh! Sorry. - Sorry.

Uh, logan. My name's logan. - Uh, miley.

- If you ever decide

To ask me out to dinner again,

Maybe just clarify that I'm not supposed to bring my child.

- Do you accept our offer?

- Well, someone made a much higher offer.

- Who is it?

- I'm sure you've seen his billboards on the way into town.

Nathan pryce. Sorry.

Hi.

You're a good boy.

- Amy! (amy chuckles)

- Hey, carson! How are you?

Did I know you guys were coming here this early?

- Well, not unless you're psychic.

Need your help with something. - We want to show you donut!

- You brought me donuts?

- Donut is carson's birthday present.

- Okay...

(amy gasps)

Awww! - Hey, buddy boy.

(man clicking his tongue)

- Oh... Ah. - Hahaha!

Good boy, one more step. - What a beauty!

- Okay, buddy, why don't you go find lyndy.

- Yeah, she's in the treehouse making some crafts.

- I love you, donut.

There!

- Well, he seems like a nicely built pony,

One that carson can learn on for a while.

What's the problem?

- I'll show you.

- We heard from pryce's foreman yet?

- I'd told you if I did, so no.

Maybe I ought to call him again.

- Ah, he's just playing hard to get. Just... Look.

We can't act needy. - (jack): We are needy, tim.

Without that lease, those cows are gonna run out of grass

Before midsummer.

- Jack, take it easy. He'll call.

(jack sighs) (loud blender noise)

(muffled music from headphones)

- I'm so sorry. Are you guys having a meeting?

- No. No, we're done.

- What are you doing for the rest of the day, lou,

Aside from drinking whatever is in that?

- Well, for your information,

I have a yoga class in 10 minutes,

And I've just really been enjoying prioritizing self-care.

Because when you're running from meeting to meeting,

You just get into the worst habits.

You know, plus I get to spend more time with you, with katie.

- You can't hang around a ranch in your pjs forever.

Come on, you got beat.

Rick beat you. Gotta get off the mat.

- I'm not. - You're wallowing.

Come on, fleming, shake it off.

Get back out there.

- I'm not wallowing, dad.

And... These are not pjs, they're yoga pants.

(amy sighs)

- I guess he's got more whoa than go, huh?

- Oh, just wait.

(pony whinnying) - oh! Oh!

Oh! Come on!

Easy, easy! Settle down!

Ah! Oh!

Aah! (pony whinnies)

- You okay? That was quite the dirty move.

- It's like this every time.

And the auction house said he was completely broken.

- I think the auction house was wrong.

He's definitely not a kid's pony.

- Well, I need him to be, by the weekend.

- Why?

- Well, I told carson he could have

A cowboy birthday party complete with his very own pony.

He already told cass and his grandparents, so...

So please, amy, would you just work with donut?

Carson's crazy about him.

- He's so cute.

- I know. I love him so much.

- What's got you so jittery? (katie sighs)

- I'm waiting for the results of this competition.

- Ah... Is that the... The fairy tale one?

- Yeah. I did a ton of research, read all the past finals work.

I think my story is exactly what the judges are looking for.

But finalists are announced in the next 24 hours,

And I hate waiting.

- I know the feeling.

It could be a bit like a watched kettle, though.

You won't get the news

Any sooner by staring at your computer screen.

You should go do something else.

- Okay.

(katie sighs) - who's this little guy?

- This is donut; he's supposed to be carson's birthday present,

But he just tossed caleb.

- Well, that can't be good. - No.

- Can I ask you something? - Yeah, of course.

- Do you think miley would like this?

- Logan, it's stunning.

- Yeah, I... I want to get her something special

For her next rodeo,

Something that says, you know, I love her.

- Logan... - I'm crazy, I know.

I know, it's too soon. - You're not crazy.

Sometimes, it happens that fast.

But you could always consider just telling her.

- What if it freaks her out? - It won't.

I mean, she might not say it back, maybe she's not ready,

But you can't deny those butterflies.

- I always thought that description was just a line.

- You always thought that what was just a line?

- Hmm... You know how ponies

Are a huge pain in a small package?

- What are you doing here?

- Okay. Nice to see you too.

I'm here on rodeo school business.

Can I steal you outside for a second?

- Yeah.

- Logan. - Hey.

- This is rocky.

A new lesson horse for the rodeo school.

- He's supposed to be for the beginner barrel racers.

- Yeah, problem is he didn't like barrels,

Keeps veering away from 'em.

I want you to work with him.

- Well, he means if you're interested.

- Well, I'm... I'm flattered, but why not ask amy?

- She's got a full slate.

And you did such a great job with sunshine,

I figured you could do the same with rocky.

What do you say?

- I... I say I'd love, uh...

- Good. - I'm happy to do it.

(miley chuckles) (soft music)

(horse neighing)

- You twisted tim's arm to hire me.

- I did no such thing.

This is all you, your hard work paying out.

- Ah, shadow,

I don't know if we're gonna get out on that ride after all.

- Uh, I'll take him on a ride.

- Yeah? - Yeah.

When I rode with logan and sunshine,

I actually had some pretty great story ideas.

- Okay. Well, if you don't mind.

I know shadow would appreciate it.

So would I. (katie chuckles)

- Hi.

(birds singing)

(distant engine roaring) (shadow snorts)

Come on, shadow, let's go.

(engine roaring growing louder)

(rock music)

(shadow neighs)

Whoa! Whoa!

Hey, jerk! Slow down when you're passing someone.

- Huh? - You were going way too fast.

Did you seriously not see me?

- Okay. Calm down.

You sort of came out of nowhere.

- Then maybe you need to get your eyes checked.

You're not the only one on this trail, top gun.

- Wow, you really know how to cut a guy down to size.

I will be more careful. - Okay, good.

And by the way, instead of telling someone to calm down,

You should try apologizing instead.

(shadow neighing softly) come on now.

- So out of all the ponies at the auction,

What made you choose donut?

- I actually didn't, carson did.

(chuckles)

- Carson picked him out all by himself?

- Yeah, donut was in this tiny stall,

Nose in the corner, away from everybody.

But carson walked right up to him

And the second that pony heard his voice, donut came over

And nickered like you wouldn't believe.

- Aw, it sounds like they have a real connection.

- Yeah, well, I just knew this was carson's pony.

But I... I let him get attached

Before I even made sure he was ridable. Stupid.

- Why are you being so hard on yourself?

- 'cause I should have known better.

Carson doesn't know horses, I do.

Could have picked him an old faithful

Instead of a fuzzy nightmare.

- Well, the fact that donut responded to carson

Gives me hope.

(cell phone buzzing)

- Ugh! It's a call from cass.

I'll... I'll be right back. - Okay.

Oh...

- Cass. Hey.

- Boy, I'm gonna take it nice and slow.

There's a little boy that we don't want to disappoint, okay?

Come on.

Makes me a little nervous.

- It's a good surprise. I think.

Maybe. - Still not helping.

- I've decided I want to open my own gallery

Right here, in hudson.

- Best idea I've heard in ages. - Good.

I'm glad you're on board 'cause this is where I want.

(door closes)

So what do you think?

- It... It looks

Haunted.

- It's character, honey.

Called character.

It's also an historical building,

And the heritage committee is acting like I want

To tear it down to build a cigarette factory,

So the permits could take up to a year.

- What?! Oh, that can't be right.

- I don't know what to do.

On one hand, I could have my dream property,

And on the other, I get a money pit

That I can't do anything with.

- Well, we happen to have somebody in the family

Who knows a thing or two about hudson bureaucracy.

- Do you think it would help? I don't want to burden her.

- Oh, please, burden her. She needs a purpose.

And by the looks of things, you could... Use some backup.

- Hmm... I just... I love it so much!

- Character? Hmm!

- Is everything okay with cass?

- Yeah, sure.

It's her night with carson.

Just checking to make sure I remembered popsicle.

It's, uh, his stuffed polar bear.

Which of course, I didn't.

How's donut?

- Well, he's broke, but I think somebody let him get away

With bolting, and now he knows that gets him out of work.

- Yeah, but you've retrained horses with bad habits before.

- I have, but I don't know if donut is

The right pony for carson, even if he loves him.

- What happened to you being hopeful?

- It's just that spoiled ponies don't make good beginner mounts.

- So he needs a little discipline.

Just... Just spend another day with him.

- It's not gonna be easier on carson

If you hold off telling him, okay?

And-and what? Are you gonna risk your kid getting hurt

Just because you want to win best birthday present?

This isn't about winning anything;

This is about not wanting to break my kid's heart

After everything.

It's new, we're just...

As much as I'd love to talk to you

About my dating life,

We never finished our conversation from before.

You were just being honest, trying to help,

And I was being a big grouch.

- I'm sorry because I know you would never put

Carson in danger and...

Fresh start?

(thump) (donut snorting)

- Donut! - Hey.

- Don't be a brat, buddy, come on.

- You know, I don't know

If that's what he's doing, being a brat; I think

It's more than a spoiled pony.

This is some anxiety.

- You think he doesn't like being cooped up?

- Maybe.

Why don't you take him outside and get him calmed down.

I'm gonna call the auction house and see if they have

Any information on where he came from.

- Okay.

Good boy, buddy.

- Hey, sweetie.

Um, so... What did you want to do with your pd day?

Got a meditation class coming up in a minute.

Did you want to maybe do that or go for a walk

Or... Maybe tell me what's wrong

Before you stab yourself with a butter knife?

- What's wrong is that every time

I try and do something, it gets ruined.

I mean, yesterday was some insensitive dirt biker

Not sharing the trail, and this morning,

I thought I'd make a nice pancake breakfast,

But someone balanced the eggs on the yogurt,

And I dropped the entire thing on the ground, and...

I didn't even make it to the finals

Of my writing competition.

The judges hated my story.

- Okay, they did not hate your story.

- "the writing is too familiar,

"a nice mimicry of other work

And therefore very predictable."

- Well, they said it was nice.

Oh, katie, you are a good writer.

- Mom, I don't want you to comfort me right now!

Okay? I... I just want to be mad!

- Hi.

- Is she okay? - She will be.

She just... She got some bad news.

- Yeah, a lot of that going around this morning.

- Tell me about it.

Took all of two weeks

For rick to become hudson's new favourite mayor.

- Ah, pah!

Don't believe everything you read.

(exhales)

So, uh...

So how are you dealing with this new change of pace?

- I'm good. You know I'm good.

I'm just, uh... I'm just finding my balance,

Um... You know,

Spending a lot of quality time with katie.

Obviously not right now.

Doing a lot of yoga.

Yeah, a lot of yoga and, uh...

But it's... It's good, it's great.

- Mm-hmm.

Uh, well, if you feel like taking a break,

I would love your opinion on a new project.

Feel like taking a drive? - Right now?

- Yeah. It's in hudson. Uh, it's a business endeavour.

- Really? - Yeah. Right up your alley.

- Uh, wow.

That's really interesting, but I...

Like, I did sign up for a meditation class.

It's about to start in... 10 minutes, so...

- Of course. - Oh, god, who am I kidding?

I don't want to meditate.

I want a milkshake.

I want a project that doesn't involve yoga leggings.

He was kept in this tiny shed all alone for months

Until a neighbour intervened and took him to the auction house.

- Where he went back into a tiny stall.

- It's like... It's like someone who's been

In solitary confinement.

- Yeah, well, that would drive me nuts too.

- But the good news is, before the jerk with the shed,

Donut lived with twin six-year-old girls

Who rode him in nothing but just a halter.

- Oh... You're kidding?

I-I am so relieved to hear that.

You're gonna be a good little pony, aren't ya?

To have a great birthday, but you just seem

So worried about him, about both of you.

Being a single parent is hard.

Harder than I care to admit, you know.

- Yeah, I know.

When I pick him up from cass's, when I drop him off at school,

Even when I put him to bed.

And yeah... Yeah, I think he hates me.

He's just a kid going through some big changes right now.

And you love him.

- It's not enough to be a good dad, though.

Amy, I suck at practical stuff.

I forget his dentist appointments.

I sent him to school with a cheese sandwich,

Just cheese and bread.

And I can't even remember his stuffed bear, and...

I'm a failure.

So I buy him stuff. - What?

Like this pony that he just had to have?

- Yep. Mm-hmm.

Cass is a natural mother;

I have to buy my kid's love, so...

I get judged for every mistake.

- Caleb, I have known you through all of the stages,

Through... Through teenagers, through newlyweds,

Through new parents.

And you are a great dad.

I mean, that's not really anyone's fault.

That's just an accident. - Yeah, exactly. Right?

We're all just trying our best,

But sometimes that still leads to a broken bike.

Says they're expanding their herd, they need it

For their own cattle, which leaves us

With only one option.

To sell part of our stock.

- No. No, no.

We're not doing that.

Come on, pryce is expanding;

If we shrink, we won't survive.

It might not be perfect, but I know enough not to push

A horse too fast, even when the client's in a rush.

- Get the job done, no excuses.

- Grandpa, is everything okay?

- Well, pryce's foreman won't renew our lease.

- He won't even negotiate? - No.

I shouldn't have to go through him anyway.

I'm offended that pryce isn't dealing with us directly.

- Well, we all keep saying that he looks like you;

Maybe if he thinks like you, he would rather

Do business over coffee in the living room.

As much as competitors.

- Smart strategy: Connect with your competitor

On an emotional level.

But I'm more interested in those flowers in the kitchen.

He's a dad, so you have something personal in common.

Are like best friends. - Mm-hmm.

I've been here a few times. - Okay.

It can really hurt when someone rejects it.

Maybe that's part of the problem.

You know, you gotta... You gotta write something that's you.

You know, use your own experiences.

You know, take a risk.

We can't succeed if we're trying to be something we're not.

- "we"?

Does that mean no more hanging around in leggings

Moping about the election?

She'll go elsewhere if you mire her in red tape, I promise you.

Okay. Yes.

We can do that.

Haha! You don't have to call me mayor fleming.

Okay. Talk soon, john.

Ooh! Permits will be issued once you submit the designs.

- Really? - Yeah.

- Oh, lou, you're brilliant, thank you.

- Maybe you could bring a little of that bulldog spirit

To our meeting with pryce.

- I gotta call my real estate agent.

- Oh, I did have to make one small concession, we have to use

Their architect.

- Well, I already have an architect.

I based my entire budget on their quote.

- Right, but you said permits were the priority here, so...

This is a win, jess.

- Uh... Yeah, well, that may be,

But that should have been my decision, though.

- I was out of line yesterday.

- It's okay. - No, it's not okay.

I'm frustrated with the business, I took it out on you.

Sorry.

- Thanks.

Well, good news,

Rocky's really improving,

So, uh, miley's gonna ride him later.

- Yeah? Great. Great.

She's been a fantastic addition to the rodeo school.

Don't mess that up.

- Yeah.

(horse snorts)

- Whoa. What's that?

Hmm?

Guess we're both a little on edge today, huh?

- Mr. Bartlett.

I'm nathan pryce jr.

- Hmm.

- Guess I'm a bit of a surprise.

- Well, the last time I saw you, you put your boots

On the wrong feet.

But I admit, I thought we'd be dealing with your dad.

- Ah, he's retired.

I'm running the ranch now.

- You know my granddaughter lou?

- Uh, we went to the same school.

- I was a few years behind her.

- You left too. Suddenly, as I recall.

- And this is my son-in-law

And business partner, tim fleming.

- You're not the old geezer I was expecting.

- Shall we?

♪♪♪

- You're looking great, carson.

(amy chuckles)

- Okay, buddy, let's get you down.

- Yeah! - Waah!

- Lyndy, gonna help him brush his pony?

- Mm-hmm. - You need all the stuff there.

(amy sighs)

- Amy, I don't know how to thank you enough. I thought I really screwed this up.

- Yeah, I kind of thought you did too, but you were right.

That is definitely carson's pony.

- Thank you.

- Caleb, donut is gonna need regular work, though;

He can't just be left on his own.

- Yeah.

I'm not afraid of hard work.

It's like you said,

"sometimes things take effort, even when they're right."

But I-I think

That if something's right and you know it in your gut,

Then you know it's worth it.

- Still easy to fool yourself, though.

- Fool yourself? - Yeah.

Sometimes, you want something to be right,

Even though deep down, you know it isn't.

♪♪♪

- Yeah. Uh... Right. That can happen to you.

(cell phone chimes)

(amy sighs)

- So, nathan, now we're thrilled

To be neighbours with another ranching family, but...

Losing this lease, that's a real blow.

- Jack's trying to say we can't take no for an answer.

- I understand.

I can carve out a few acres for you,

But it'll need to be worth my while.

Double what you were paying sam.

- Double?!

Ha! Not possible.

- It's a fair rate.

- Fair to whom exactly?

- Nathan's right.

Sam was giving us a deal.

- Lou... - Look, we can't expect nathan

To renew the lease unless we have something to offer.

Which we do.

Your herd needs access to the river.

Thanks to a ravine, the safest way to get to water is

Across our land.

- Which you would start charging me to use, right?

- We could, but this isn't really about money.

This is about us remembering that we're neighbours,

Helping each other out.

- Well, you're asking me to leave a lot of money

On the table, neighbour.

- Hey, how about this?

You give us a year,

Same terms as the previous agreement

We had with sam, and that'll

Give us some time to prepare our next move.

- A year? ♪♪♪

And in exchange, you'll grant me a right of way?

- Neighbour.

(lively music) - yah! Yah! Come on!

Yah! Yah!

Come on! Yah!

(horse snorting)

It's like he never had a problem.

- Yeah. Yeah, no, it was good.

I wish I had one more day, though.

- He wasn't even looking at the barrels, but...

You think he needs more time, you're the boss.

- I love you.

I'm sorry if that's out of the blue, I just...

I want you to know.

You don't have to say it back, I-I get it.

(soft music)

- I love you too.

- (tim): So what's the verdict?

- Ahem!

- Well, took him around the pattern as your wishes.

- Well, that's fantastic, logan. Problem solved?

- Uh...

Yeah.

Yeah, he's good to go.

(chuckles)

(neighs)

- Hurry, mommy, I want to see miley ride before my lesson.

- Okay, I'm hurrying.

Are you pryce's foreman?

- No. I'm nathan pryce jr.

- I'm amy fleming.

- Nice to meet you. - Yeah.

- Up close. - Haha!

I would have introduced myself at the river,

But seemed like you had somewhere to be.

- Saw you working that pony earlier.

Can't find a proper horse for that cowboy?

(amy sighs)

- Actually, I think that they are very well suited.

(piano music)

- Remind me not to get on that fella's bad side then.

I'd take a bronco over a pony any day.

- You're a bronc rider?

- A long time ago.

You'll have to excuse me,

My girl molly has been home alone all day, so...

(knocking on door)

- Come in!

(lou clears her throat)

Lou, I appreciate you coming.

- I, uh... I overstepped, I know.

(lou sighs) ♪♪♪

I think... Losing the election really shook my confidence,

And helping you renewed it.

I even started to imagine myself being more involved,

Even say a partner.

But this is your business, it's your baby,

And I should have respected that.

I'm sorry.

- Thank you.

- You don't have to use this, it's just a mock-up,

But... Your name does mean something

And more people should know it.

- Oh, wow, lou, it's perfect.

- Does that mean you forgive me?

- Of course. Of course I do.

I actually really like your idea, us being partners.

- Really?

- Yeah. I mean, I don't want to do all of this on my own.

You have great instincts. You always have.

Like that architect that you agreed to.

She's incredible.

But you already knew that, didn't you?

- Maybe.

- What do you say?

- I say yes.

(jessica laughing) jess!

- It's gonna be great.

(engine revving up)

- Sure you want to do this?

- Yeah. I mean, it's research, right?

First-hand experience is invaluable.

- All right, don't know what that means.

But remember, use the rear brake,

Not the front brake.

Something different for miley?

- Edwin?

- Hey!

- Hey.

- Okay, so initially I was excited when you called me over,

But now I'm seeing your expression.

- I really enjoy spending time with you,

You're a great guy, I just...

I don't think that we're right as anything more than friends.

I think sometimes you just know.

I wish I could explain it.
