Previously, on "Heartland"...

You sold Tim a racehorse?

I didn't sell him a racehorse.

I sold him a bit of a headache.

Guess who's jam is sitting a supermarket shelf near you?

Heartland.

It's your mom.

Actually, Ty's hardly mentioned

anything about you at all.

I had nowhere else to go.

It's Wade.

He's found me.

Stay in the truck, Mom.

What are you doing here, Wade?

It's a family reunion.

Turn around, get back in your car, and leave.

Ty, I can handle this.

I can handle this.

Yeah, come on, Ty, I'm not looking for any trouble.

I don't give a damn what you're looking for.

Turn around, and go.

Man, what happened to us, huh?

You know, that's all ancient history.

I'm just really hear to talk to your Ma.

Yeah?

Well, maybe she doesn't want to talk to you.

So leave, now.

We're all adults here, right?

You're a grownup now.

Look at you.

What do you say we make a fresh start.

You've got 10 seconds.

All right.

Okay.

Baby steps then, right?

I'll call you later.

Ty?

Who is that guy?

Is everything okay?

Yeah, it's just some guy who took a wrong turn.

He's going now.

I told you I could handle this.

Is everybody okay?

Yeah, who the hell was that?

Oh my god.

Why didn't anybody tell me that Ty has an evil step dad?

That lunatic that ran me off road.

That was nothing.

They looked like they're about to kill each other.

Where is Ty?

With his mom.

I got to go talk to him.

Maybe you should just give him a moment.

It was so intense.

I thought Ty was going to lose it.

I swear, I haven't spoken to him in months.

Are you sure about that?

We're in the middle of nowhere, Mom.

So unless you said something, there's no way--

Ty.

Not now, Amy.

Okay, I don't know.

Maybe I did mention you were working here some time.

At Heartland?

Mom, they have a website with a phone number and an address.

There's even a map on there.

It doesn't matter.

He would have found me anyhow.

He's never going to leave me alone.

You know, when I was a kid living in Vancouver,

there was this park just down the street from where I lived.

And there was this tree I used to climb.

And I built a tree fort in it, so I

could take my mom someplace safe to live,

somewhere away from Wade.

Amy, would you stop doing that?

Amy, look at me for a second.

I'm leaving, okay?

I'm taking my mom back to Vancouver.

When?

Right now.

How long is he going for?

He doesn't know.

He didn't say.

What about university?

He told me it's got to wait, that this

is something he has to do.

Grandpa, I know he's making a mistake.

Please--

She is his mother, Amy.

Then why can't she see that this is completely

the wrong thing to do?

If you're trying to talk me out of this, Jack,

don't bother. I've made up my mind.

Well, you see, that's the problem,

because your mind doesn't seem to be

working too well right now.

I know what I'm doing.

And what's that?

Other than putting your life on hold?

My mom says she can deal with Wade.

But that's exactly what she used to say when I was a kid.

Your mom's a lot safer here with us, than in Vancouver.

Now, she's welcome to stay in the house for as long

as she likes, in Marion's room.

I appreciate the offer, Jack.

But she' responsibility, not yours.

That's a steaming pile of bull.

You're the next closest thing to family.

And when family's in trouble, we stick together.

Nobody's going anywhere.

To make sure of that, I'm going to lock the gate.

I feel terrible about this, Lou.

I've dragged my dirty laundry right up your doorstep.

Don't be silly, okay?

You're going to be much more comfortable

here than at the dude ranch.

And the clincher, indoor plumbing.

Okay.

But only for a few days.

I don't want anyone going out of their way.

I promise, you can make your own bed, do your own laundry.

You can help out with dinner, if you're up for it, okay?

Thanks, because I don't want your pity, Lou.

Okay.

Not all the years with Wade were bad.

In fact, some of them were pretty good.

When he had money, he treated me pretty well.

It was when he didn't.

One day, he went out for a part for his car.

I packed my bags and I left.

Okay.

No pity.

Amy?

Amy, can I come in?

What time is it?

It's early.

I just want to talk to you before I left for the track.

I know I freaked out yesterday, seeing Wade.

Maybe Jack's right.

Maybe she's safer here than anywhere else.

I just hate to leave.

Hey, don't worry. We'll keep an eye on her.

Go to work.

There's one more thing.

Come on.

I have morning breath.

I know.

[honking]

I don't believe it.

Jack actually did lock the gate.

See ya.

You Amy Fleming?

Yes.

Clay Dawson.

You look pretty young to be a horse whisperer.

Well, I work with horses, no whispering.

My son Cody.

His roping horse has been acting up.

Now, the vet says there's nothing wrong.

But like I told Jack, we got to get him fixed up for the rodeo

in Strathmore this weekend. This weekend?

That doesn't give me much time.

It's all we got.

Cody's older brothers is a three time all around cowboy.

And Cody aims to catch up real fast.

Okay, I'll do the best I can.

Hey, uh, whenever you have time is fine by me.

It doesn't have to be by the weekend.

What about the rodeo?

There's always another rodeo.

Picture it, Grandpa, Heartland Jam in grocery stores

across the country.

I mean, yeah, so far, it's only in one store, in Hudson.

But that's just a start.

Oh, hey, Lilly.

Let me get you coffee.

No, no, please let me get it.

I don't want to interrupt.

Oh, you're not interrupting.

Grandpa is just being closed-minded

about my business plans.

I just thought I was running a horse ranch, not a gift shop,

is all. It's called branding.

That's not the kind of branding I'm used to.

When you're developing a business,

you have to think big.

One day, I'm going to be serving Heartland

jam in the new dining lodge.

What new dining lodge?

The one I'm planning to build.

Yeah, I'm definitely going to have to find a bigger space,

if I want to keep up with customer demand.

If you can find more space around here, fine.

You show it to me.

What?

You two.

You are so much alike.

♪♪

Hey, Tim, I didn't know you were a betting man.

Only on a sure thing, Scott.

Check this bay out, front runner, Lightning Dexter.

That's Lisa's horse, isn't it?

Used to be.

She didn't have the faith in it I have.

Lisa sold him to you.

Yeah, you could say that.

But I think I got the deal of the century.

Check that time out.

You could have a winner on your hands.

I wouldn't get too excited.

It's just an exercise run.

For all you know, the other rider

is holding his horse back.

Trying to psych me out, Lisa?

Yeah.

Working?

Lightning wasn't my first horse or my only horse.

That one out there running with yours,

Alberta Comet, that's mine too.

You're going to remember his name.

Well, looks like we're off to the races.

Yes, it does.

Good luck.

Hey, Allegro, that's Cody Dawson's roping horse, right?

Yeah, I'm going to need your help with him.

What's the problem?

Well, Cody's dad says that his time off,

that he's slow out of the box.

Tell me about it.

What do you mean?

Well, you know how I've been on a bit of a winning streak

lately.

Yes, Caleb, we all know about it.

Thing is, the Dawson brothers were most of the reason

I wasn't doing so good before.

Then Travis had a record.

Cody's horse started coming up short.

It's like somebody put some bad mojo on those boys.

Oh, mojo?

I don't know nothing about any voodoo.

Wow, I thought my mom was a pack rat.

It's a win-win situation, Grandpa.

As soon as we get all this junk out of here,

you can have the kitchen back.

And I'll set up out here.

This junk is my junk.

It's not going anywhere.

We had an agreement.

No, Lou, you had an idea about taking over my shop.

And I'm trying to accommodate you.

Trying to accommodate me?

How about you back up your truck into here

and take all this junk to the dump?

Hey, one man's junk is another man's treasure.

There's nothing wrong with that radio.

It just needs a couple wires, probably.

You guys have a piano.

Yeah, it's been sitting there collecting dust ever

since my great grandma used to play it.

Or was it my great great grandma?

Well, if nobody plays it, why don't you just sell it?

The piano is staying.

[phone ringing]

I bet I know who that is.

Magic.

What do you think that was, five, six, seconds tops?

This is not about you, Caleb.

Okay, fine.

There's nothing wrong with this horse.

Matter of fact, horse this good, I don't know why

Cody is still not beating me.

I can't do it, Wade.

I don't know how to make it any clearer.

No.

No, that's not part of the deal.

You have to stop calling me.

Okay, five minutes, but just this once.

Yeah, that's all I'm asking, Lily.

I'll be the guy drinking coffee.

Okay.

Garbage.

Keeper.

Is there something you're not telling us, Jack?

I bet this must have meant something to someone.

My gum holder.

Amy made that for my birthday.

She was only about six years old.

Started out as a sugar bowl.

But it kind of shrunk.

That's a keeper.

I remember one year, Ty made me

this little house out of popsicle

sticks for Mother's Day.

Oh, little Ty did that?

He even made the furniture inside.

Cool.

Do you still have it?

I wish.

We moved around a lot.

See, Lou, some things are worth keeping.

Yeah, okay, that's what the keeper box is for.

Hey, Ty?

You got a minute?

How'd you like to make a few extra bucks?

Doing what?

I don't want to take any chances

with my four legged money maker before tomorrow's race.

You want me to keep an eye on him for you?

- Yeah, for the whole night. - The whole night?

Yeah, I don't want anybody tampering with him.

People will pull all kinds of scams.

They tranq horses.

They stuff sponges up their noses, nails in their hooves.

Well, I'd like to help you out.

But my mom is still in town.

And I should really be at home with her.

Your mom?

Come on.

This is for one night, more or less.

What do you say?

I'll make it worth your while.

Cash, money.

No, don't worry about it, Ty.

Hey, your mom is perfectly safe here with us.

Yes.

You know you could use the extra money.

Yeah, no, I'll grab something at Maggie's for dinner.

It will be fun.

Okay, bye.

[piano music]

Don't stop on my account.

It's a nice piano.

It needs some tuning, though.

You're the first person to play it in years.

It's way better than the one I used to play at school.

I could ask my sister.

Maybe it's for sale.

Forget it, not going to happen.

My dad's got my scheduled pretty figured out.

It doesn't include playing the piano.

I'm telling you, that damn horse I sold

Tim left my comet in the dust.

It was just a training run, wasn't it?

And I told him that.

But I was keeping track.

He actually shaved two seconds off his previous best.

And that smirk on his face, that money eating grin.

That horse may have a lot going for it.

But it also has one big liability, Tim Fleming.

You see, glad I came over.

I knew you'd give me a reason to smile.

I have to go.

What is all this stuff?

Lou's been a little overboard cleaning out the hut.

I managed to pry a few precious items

out of her cold-hearted hands.

I guess that would explain the mug.

And I thought it was our little secret.

Bye.

Hey, you know Caleb, right?

I thought he could give us a hand,

so I can see how your horse goes.

Hey, Cody.

Hey, man, didn't know you worked hear.

Just part time, so I can kick your butt at the rodeo.

I haven't noticed too much butt kicking, O'Dell.

This might be your lucky weekend.

My horse is not into it.

Really?

Your horse?

Because as a matter of fact, when I worked with it--

Now that we got this all settled, let's get started,

huh?

He's a little jumpy.

I don't think he likes the quad.

He'll get used to it after a few runs.

Yeah, I guess.

♪♪

I told you, he's spooked by that thing.

Well, I don't know if that's the problem.

That's because you weren't riding him.

I don't want to push it.

I don't think that this is going to help.

Cody, why don't we switch places?

Maybe I can show you how it's done.

I think we're going to call it quits for today.

I hear your brother had a real bad wreck.

Just one of those things.

What happened?

Getting close to the calf, through the loop

perfect, but the slack got wrapped around his hand.

You could hear the bone snapping all the way back in the chutes.

That's got to make you think.

Guys get wracked up all the time, just part of the sport.

Yeah, but, if something like that happened to you,

you wouldn't be able to play piano.

What are you talking about?

I don't even have a piano.

See, the thing is, Cody.

I don't think there's anything wrong with your horse.

I mean, Caleb roped off him.

And he had no problems.

I guess he's just a better roper than I am.

No, Caleb is good.

But he's definitely better than you are.

The only difference is he wants to win.

And I don't.

I saw the way you were hanging on horse's mouth.

You were holding him back so he didn't get a decent throw.

That's total crap.

I didn't hire you to tell me how to rope.

I hired you to fix my horse, end of story.

Hey, cowboy?

I need a ride into town.

Are you going that way?

Sure, hop in.

Thanks.

You know, I don't get it, grandpa.

Anyone can see that Cody just doesn't want to rope

anymore, if he ever did in the first place.

Well, his dad was just coming up during my last couple

years of rodeo.

Tough SOB, I'll tell you that, drove his sons hard too.

Got them on a horse before they could walk.

They learned to rope before they learned to read and write.

So if you're a Dawson kid, playing the piano

is out of the question.

Got to be tough taking the road

less traveled in that family.

I heard him play.

And he was just fooling around.

But he was really good.

Better than he was at roping that dummy, that's for sure.

I'd hate to be the one to tell his daddy that.

Oh, come on, Amy.

You know how I feel about getting involved

with other family's problems.

Yes, but you're so good at it, Grandpa.

Don't stop now.

- Hey. - Hey.

What happened to takeout?

I'm starving.

What's wrong?

Promise you won't do anything stupid.

Okay.

No, Ty, really promise me, please?

Come on, Amy.

I just saw your mom and Wade.

They were going into a bar just down the street from Maggie's.

A bar?

Are you sure it was my mom?

Yeah.

Ty, you just promised like one second ago.

You don't know this guy Wade, Amy.

Here.

I'll stay here and cover for you, but Ty--

I promise, nothing stupid.

I have to admit, I never thought I'd see you

drinking black coffee at a bar.

Well, spending a year alone without

the woman you love gives you a little

time to re-prioritize things.

I actually quit drinking.

You--

Yeah, I quit gambling, kicked the pills, got a job.

Oh yeah.

What is this?

One day at a time, or did you go to rehab?

No, no, just inner strength.

I wish I could say the same.

I think you could.

I mean, look at you.

You've changed too.

Your face, the way you dress, the way you carry yourself.

You're beautiful, Lily.

I can't let you slip away again.

I don't know why you're doing this to me.

You keep sucking me back in.

We've got a connection, right?

That sounds a bit corny.

We both know you're the love of my life.

I think you might feel the same way.

Come on. We're leaving.

Ty, what are you doing here?

- Let's go. - Come on, man.

We're just having a coffee.

Why don't you sit down and join us for a while?

Grow up, geez.

I'll take a double scotch, please.

Got it.

Neat.

No problem.

You told me you split from him.

I did.

Then what the hell are you doing in there?

I was talking to him, listening mostly.

Get in the truck!

Evening, Clay.

Got your message, Jack.

Surprised to hear your granddaughter is done

with the horse already, because from what my son tells me,

she never even got started.

Yeah, well, that's what I wanted to talk to you about.

I know she's family, Jack.

And, well, you got a right to be proud of her and all.

But, well, I don't think she has a clue

when it comes to roping horses.

That's not true.

And there's nothing wrong with that horse.

So how come Cody can't rope good anymore?

Maybe he doesn't want to rope.

Maybe he never did.

You got no right to say that.

You don't even know the boy.

All I know is what Amy tells me.

And she does tell me that he plays the piano really good.

As for the roping, his heart is just not in it, Clay.

Well, thanks for the lift.

Come on, Mom.

I'm not the bad guy here.

Do you remember the cuts, the bruises?

The last time, I had to pull him off you.

I know.

I've never forgiven myself for that.

I wish I could have done things differently, Ty.

And I just pulled you out of a bar with him.

Look, I'm glad that you're here and everything.

But you've got to make a choice, him or me.

You want to hang out with Wade, fine.

But then you got to leave me out of your life.

Goodnight, mom.

Lily, hi.

We were worried about you.

I'm sorry.

I should have let you know when I was going out.

I'm fine.

Everything's fine.

So if you don't mind, I think I'll just--

Lily?

We are trying our best to keep you out of harm's.

Way a little cooperation on your part

would be mightily appreciated.

Hey.

Hey.

Your face looks okay.

Let me see your hands.

I didn't hit him.

Okay, you're good.

It took everything I had not to.

So how's your mom?

Oh, she's acting all strong, like she

has everything under control.

But I'm not buying it.

Do you want me to stay tonight?

While I'm working for your dad?

I'll be all right.

Thank you.

Okay.

Goodnight.

Hey buddy.

Get!

Loose horse!

Someone give me a hand!

Whoa, easy boy!

Easy!

Thirsty, buddy?

How's that?

[piano music]

Wow, that was incredible.

I didn't know a cowboy could play classical music.

Well, actually this thing plays pretty good,

now that you got it tuned up.

I have to admit.

I'm kind of embarrassed.

Clay, just because our kids don't follow

exactly in our footsteps.

It ain't that.

You know why my kid never told me?

He thought I wouldn't approve.

Hell, if I could play like that, I wouldn't

want to swing a rope either.

[piano music]

Did I tell you that piano is a family heirloom?

My grandmother played it.

And believe me, they do not make them like that anymore.

So what you're saying is it's old, it's used,

and I can forget about spare parts.

Just give him the piano, Grandpa.

It's not doing anything here but taking up space.

[piano music]

Hey, Ty, how'd it go last night?

No problems.

Good.

So you ready to leave those other guys in the dust?

Lucky number four.

[PA] The current odds have number four, Lightning Dexter,

as your favorite at 3-1.

Number two, Alberta Comet, is the long shot at 12-1 odds.

Hello, folks.

Well, it's a beautiful day for a horse race.

We'll see how beautiful it is when

they cross the finish line.

Yes, we will.

Bet on number two, Alberta Comet.

Jack, I have a tip for you, Lightning Dexter, number four.

The bookies even have him pegged as a winner.

I've gambled enough of my hard earned money on you already.

[announcer] They're at the the post for the 15th annual

running of the Hudson Stakes.

A mile and a quarter for a $15,000 purse.

And they're off!

[cheering]

Come on!

[cheering]

Alberta Comet moves ahead of Lightning Dexter

as they approach the first turn!

[cheering]

Alberta Comet is really moving!

The favorite, Lightning Dexter, is moving dead last!

But Alberta Comet is holding strong in first place!

Go Comet, let's go!

Look at Alberta Comet go!

It seems Lightning Dexter will have to make his move from...

Come on, Lightning!

Alberta Comet is coming on as they move into the final turn.

And it's Alberta taking a commanding lead on the outside!

Alberta Comet is pulling away...

Let's go Alberta Comet!

Woo!

And Alberta Comet wins!

And Lightning Dexter comes in a disappointing last place.

Maybe next time, Tim.

Dad, he did great at the start.

Maybe he's just having an off day.

[PA] So the winner of your 15th annual Hudson Stakes

is Alberta Comet.

Well, good news, there's nothing wrong the horse.

He's just a bit waterlogged.

Waterlogged?

Yeah, his belly is full of water.

His water bucket is completely empty.

He must have drink it all before the race.

Salt. Someone put salt in his hay.

Thank you very much.

Okay.

Lily, hey.

What happened to I've changed?

What happened to I quit gambling?

It's not like that.

This was a sure thing, 100%, no risk involved.

I've heard that before.

Yeah, but Lily, this time it's different.

I got a clear vision.

I got a clear mind.

I know where I'm going.

There's only one thing holding me back.

If I had you by my side, there'd be nothing to stop us.

What do you say, Lily?

I can't.

I promised Ty.

But you promised me too, remember?

Till death do us part.

Come on.

I can work things out with Ty.

I know I can.

Just give me a shot to do that.

This could our fresh start right here.

Wade, you know that never worked with us.

But this time it could.

It could.

It could.

I love you.

Let's go home.

Ty?

You stayed with my horse last night, the whole night?

Yeah, except I had to go see my mom.

So Amy covered for me.

So who am I talking to, you or my daughter?

What is the big deal?

The big deal?

The big deal is that somebody salted Lightning's hay

to throw the race.

I don't get it.

They put salt in the hay.

It makes them drink too much water.

And he was so full of water that he

came waddling out of the gate like a beached whale.

So you're telling me that one of you stayed with him last night.

Well, actually, one of the horses

got out in the middle of the night.

And I had to help round him up.

You picked a great night to be a good Samaritan.

I was only gone for a couple of seconds.

He-- I didn't think--

You didn't think, Ty.

You didn't think.

It wasn't Ty's fault. But Dad's talking like it

was him who salted the hay.

Dad had a lot riding on that horse.

But come on, Lou.

A loose horse in the middle of the night?

It has to be a set up?

You think someone's trying to frame Ty.

I don't know.

What I don't get is why anyone would want

to make sure Dad's horse lost.

Lightning was the favorite.

So if you want to make a lot of money,

you bet on the long shot.

Like Comet, Lisa's horse.

You want to be the one to tell Grandpa that his girlfriend

rigged the race?

Lou, this isn't funny.

Ty could lose his job at the track.

And anyone could have rigged that.

Yeah, anyone looking to make a big payday.

A sure thing, no risk involved.

Come on, Lily.

Answer your phone.

I know who did it at the track, with the salt.

Wade.

Ty, please, you got to believe me.

I just went to see him yesterday so I could

clear things up once and for all.

There he was at the track.

And he starts talking.

He makes everything sound so reasonable,

like we can just put the bad stuff behind us

and have a real future.

So what are you doing here, Mom?

Go.

Go be with him, if you want to.

No.

I made a mistake.

We both know I'm not perfect.

Bringing you into the world was the best thing that I ever did.

So if I have to choose between you and anything else,

I choose you.

♪♪

Get in the house, Mom.

Ty, you don't have to do this.

Get in the house now, Mom!

You know, Ty, I've been thinking.

If it wasn't for you, my wife there,

she'd be at home with me, where she belongs.

Maybe you haven't figured it out yet.

But she's going to choose me every time.

So why don't you just give it up, buddy?

Do yourself a favor, Wade, and leave, right now.

Why's that?

You going to hit me, Ty?

Like you did last time?

What are you going to do?

I got news for you, man.

This time, I'm sober.

And my back's not turned to you.

What the hell, let's make it even Steven.

Come on, give me your best shot.

Come on, tough guy.

You got it in you.

Let's go.

Let's go. Come on.

Come on.

Yeah, okay.

Ready?

Let's go.

Ty!

No!

Ty!

Come on, man, show these people your true colors, man.

Hit me.

No, Wade, you're not worth it.

You never were.

That's some tough talk.

Too bad that's all it is.

You're trespassing on my property, best be moving on.

Yeah, I get it.

Coming Lily, let's go.

Come on, this has nothing to do with you.

Let's go. I forgive you.

I'm not mad at you anymore.

Let's go.

You're not mad at me?

You're not mad at me?

Stay with your son then, have a good life.

Hey.

Don't forget this, in case you have a flat on the way

out of here.

Well, not what I expected to be bringing home.

But I tell you what, it feels just about as heavy as a horse.

Really appreciate this, Jack.

I'm glad your son is going to get

some use out of this old piano.

I don't know how to thank you.

How about a free copy of your first CD?

All right.

I'll see ya.

I am so sorry my coming here caused so many problems.

I'm still glad you came.

I want you to have this.

What is it?

It's the money you gave me.

- Yeah, I gave it to you. - I know.

And it was so sweet of you.

But you told me you want to go to university.

And you're going to need this.

Are you okay, Mom?

Yeah.

I'm just so proud of you.

What's going on?

This is my half.

And that is your half.

But now it's organized.

So you put everything back?

I guess I'd rather share the space with six generations

of junk than be the kind of person

who can put their whole life into a couple suitcases.

So what, you're saying we're roommates?

Sure.

But if any of your stuff crosses this line, I'm throwing it out.

Turns out my mom did have a baby picture of me after all.

Look at those chubby cheeks.

I was pretty adorable, wasn't I?

Yeah.

You still are.
