You're right, this is a real honey.

All you do is find a few parts for it and she's gonna rock.

I'll get your wheelchair.

No, um could you just grab my crutch?

Yes, Caleb you can stay at the dude ranch

until your cast comes off or I get a paying customer.

I told you it was bad luck for me what do you do but show up?

Let's just call it a day.

Fine.

You're not committed to me.

You want proof, you want proof?

Then marry me damn it.

Let's see what's for breakfast today.

Hey, hey, hey.

Those are for Caleb from Lou.

The guy's been doing nothing for weeks.

Maybe it's time for him to get his own breakfast.

You'd think you'd be a little more

understanding considering everything

you went through with Scott.

Maybe I would be if one made me muffins.

All right, here.

[chains jangling]

What the hell?

How did they find me?

Hey, hey what are you doing?

I only missed two payments.

Oh I'm mad.

Well, the doctor said he was doing great,

but it would be a miracle if he was moving back on his feet.

That's Caleb's truck.

Get back here.

That's my truck.

He gets around pretty good.

It's a miracle.

So I've got the invitations for the engagement party.

I booked the rehearsal dinner.

So I think I've got everything under control.

Except Grandpa, I need to talk to you about Lisa.

Lisa?

Yeah, um, actually about you and Lisa.

Why?

Did-- did she say something to you?

I don't want to cause any problems.

But you know that really nice reception

room Lisa has at Fairfield?

What are you talking about?

The out-of-towners brunch for our wedding.

I know it's a huge imposition, but it

would mean so much if you and Lisa could host it for me.

I'm on my way to see her right now, so I suppose I could--

No sure.

Take your time.

I love you.

What did you do?

So how did Lou and Amy take the news?

Well to tell you the truth uh, I still haven't told them.

You promised you would.

What's really going on here?

Oh well, you see the problem is Lou.

I-- I made a fresh pot.

Oh, great, thank you Soraya.

I just don't want to rain on her parade and I--

uh, maybe we could keep this thing

to ourselves a little longer.

This thing?

Our engagement?

That thing?

Walk in front of me so she won't notice.

Can't keep avoiding her Mallory.

Hey Mallory, I saved you a seat.

I'm sitting with Amy.

You know my friend Amy right?

She's in year 12.

Oh come on Mallory, can't still be mad at me.

The rodeo club trials start tomorrow and Rachel

and all her friends are really into pull-bending.

So?

It's like so much fun and all the girls you want

to get in with are trying out.

No, all the girls you want to get in with.

Just come tomorrow.

I know you'll have a really good shot at it.

Whatever.

Jamie just asked me to join the rodeo club.

I thought you didn't like Jamie and all her cool friends.

Yeah, that's why have to get really good really fast.

What?

So you can show them how much you don't care?

Exactly.

Amy please, you gotta help me.

Hey, in case you actually decide to change your sheets.

Hey, don't worry Lou.

I promise I'll it once a month,

whether I need to or not.

Great.

Sorry to hear about your truck.

Yeah.

I don't know how the hell they found me out here.

Look, I was wondering next time you're in town if you can

put this up at Maggie's for me.

Sure, no problem.

Sure about this?

Yeah, 100%.

Okay.

So uh, what's Jack been up to these days?

Jack?

Like, Grandpa?

Yeah, like is there anything special going on with him?

No, um, well he was talking about putting

snow tires on his truck.

Why?

Um, it's just he was in here this morning with Lisa

but it doesn't matter.

I shouldn't have mentioned it.

But you did.

What's up?

All right, they mentioned something about an engagement.

Lou's engagement?

Yeah, except-- no, I'm pretty sure it was their engagement.

Grandpa and Lisa, getting married?

Jack and Lisa?

Ooh, I want details.

There are no details Ashley.

It's just something I thought I heard.

So, there's no reason to me a big deal about it.

Right.

I get it.

Because your grandfather isn't marrying one of the richest

women in Hudson County.

That's right, so no need to alert the media.

Or my mother.

Looks good Mallory.

Good.

Come on Copper.

Okay.

Keep your outside leg on him around the turn.

Just weave through the poles.

Yeah well, he doesn't turn very well.

What's the point of trotting?

Isn't all about the speed?

Okay.

Try it at a lope then.

Oh--

Amy, this sucks.

Yeah.

You know I think Copper might be a little too old and stiff

to be a pole-bending horse.

Great, what am I supposed to do now?

Well, um, if you want to keep writing Copper you could--

could try something else. Like what?

I don't know.

Goat tying?

And commit social suicide.

Like a could see Jamie and Rachel tying goats.

So what is this I hear about an engagement party?

It's what people do when they get engaged Dad.

Some people do.

And you know, it's a nice chance for us

all to meet Peter's family.

I think it's a great idea.

Celebrating your engagement with the people that you love.

Don't you think so Jack?

So how is Caleb doing?

Uh, he's getting better I think.

I didn't see his truck at the dude ranch.

Well--

Got repossessed.

Yeah, you know I'm kind of worried about him.

He looks like hell and uh, check this out.

He's selling his horse?

What?

But Caleb loves Shorty.

This all sounds very familiar.

Get in a wreck, sell your horse and your rodeo career is over.

And he broke up with Ashley.

He might have had a streak of bad luck,

but he hasn't said a word about quitting.

So I suggest we all just calm down and take a wait

and see at it.

If feel like I've heard that a few times lately.

Hey, what's with Grandpa and Lisa?

They're acting weird.

Uh, Lou?

If I tell you something, you promise not to freak out?

Yeah, I promise.

Soraya told me she thought she heard them

talking about getting married.

Yeah, right.

Come on, as if Grandpa is going to do that to me now.

I'm the--

Just think about it, you guys could

have like a double wedding

Get-- get out--

Save money.

Yeah, get out.

[knocking] Just a sec.

[knocking]

Yeah, just hold on would ya?

Mr. Flemming.

Hear you're selling your horse.

Yeah.

Why, you wanna buy him?

Well I don't know.

A horse like that doesn't come along every day.

Well, I trained him myself.

Oh, really?

All by yourself?

For a second I was almost interested.

He's the best horse I ever rode.

So why are you selling him?

Sore back, went sour on ya?

I got my truck repossessed.

Can't afford to haul to any rodeo's, can't afford

to keep a horse I'm not using.

So you're broke, you're not working, you're not competing.

Just living here like it came free of charge

on my dude ranch.

How many of these are you taking?

Just what it says on the label.

One every four hours for pain as needed.

As needed.

That's kind of a gray area isn't it?

May need a little less, may need a little more.

I've got a doctor's prescription for those.

I used to use that one.

Well I'm still hurting.

And I used that one too.

I'm going to do you a favor.

I'm going to start to charge you the regular rate

for staying here.

What kind of a favor is that?

Well it's not really a favor.

Consider it more of an intervention.

Intervention?

What are you talking about?

It's very simple Caleb.

Here's the deal, you pay up or you get out.

If I had any money I'd still have my truck.

That's your problem, not my problem.

Deal with it.

♪♪

I did not kick him out.

I just negotiated a new deal.

Come on Dad, the whole reason we put Caleb at the dude ranch

in the first place was because couldn't manage on his own.

Well maybe if you top babying him.

Ah, I get it Dad.

Your response to everything, tough love.

Tough love. That's right.

You know when I had my rodeo accident

and Jack kicked me out, it was a real wake up call.

Sure was and 10 years later you woke up.

Well we all deal with things at our own speed Jack.

♪♪

You're a lucky man there Caleb.

I'm in no mood for jokes Jack.

Neither am I. Seems you've got the Flemming

sisters on your side.

What are you saying?

You can stay.

But you got to start pulling your weight, get back to work.

Well I'm not ready for that yet.

The longer you sit around doing nothing,

the harder it is getting back in the saddle.

Yeah, well I think I'm quitting rodeo.

Get a job in the oil patch or something.

Make some real money.

Well there's an offer on the table and the meter's running.

Okay.

Maybe I should ease back into it on a part-time basis.

You start now full time or you don't start at all.

Promise you won't tell anybody what happened?

Come on Mallory, it's an important job.

So how did the tryout's go?

Well I kind of blew the pull bending,

but they let me join anyway.

That's still great.

I mean just being a part of the rodeo club is awesome.

What do they have you doing?

The rodeo clown.

It's pretty awesome.

♪♪

Hey Caleb.

Look, um, I know it must be difficult getting back to work

so soon after your accident.

So I, I thought I could give you a hand.

Sure.

No, I mean I could give you a hand with Shorty.

I-- I'll look after them for you.

Okay.

What's the catch?

Mallory.

She just tried out for the high school rodeo club.

That's how I got my start too.

As rodeo clown?

Ooh.

Yeah.

She really wants to get into pole bending,

but she needs a good horse, good rodeo horse.

You mean Shorty.

Yeah.

No she can't ride Shorty.

She'd ruin him.

Are you kidding me?

Caleb, you know what?

He's for sale so you're going to have to get used to the idea

of someone else riding him.

It might as well be Mallory.

Hey, Jack.

Jack, I hear you decided all on your own

to let Caleb stay at the ranch, free of charge.

If you've got a better idea, go for it.

Well he obviously looks up to you the way

he's following in your footsteps.

Thanks for noticing.

Drinking beer for breakfast, sleeping until noon, talking

about quitting the rodeo.

That's the only thing he's good at.

And getting a job working on the oil rigs.

Yeah, pretty big shoes to fill.

Hey Val.

Hey Tim.

Good to see ya.

Jack, I was going to call you.

I hear there's news.

You and Lisa.

Me and Lisa what?

Come on.

You've taken the plunge, right?

And come up gasping for air by the looks of it.

You know we're hoping to keep it kind of quiet t--

till the time is right. Oh, so it's true.

Wow.

Think I had to hear it from Ashley,

my closest and dearest friend is engaged.

I haven't even told the girls yet.

Yeah, well you're doing the right thing stepping

back and letting Lou shine.

No, I'm I'm really happy for you Jack.

I guess I'm having a little trouble imagining

Lisa living at your place.

Talk about downsizing.

That'll be quite a lifestyle change huh?

For both you.

Lisa.

Great gal.

Good looking.

And at your age, getting married.

What were you thinking?

Kind of a wasn't thinking, that was more like yelling.

Well I wasn't yelling.

You know what?

It's going to be just fine.

Sounds like true love.

Probably your enthusiasm that swept her off her feet.

♪♪

You know, it's actually looking pretty good.

Yeah, I got some work to do on the breaks tonight

and then I'm putting on a new exhaust system.

Well, you're going to have to let it all for a ride

some time.

No way.

Hey, don't touch, all right?

Geez, what's your problem man?

Let's say I wanted to borrow your hat.

No.

A man's hat is kinda like his girl you know?

Same deal with my motorcycle.

So I guess you heard about me and Ashley huh?

Yeah.

Guess you still got your hat right?

Yes I do.

Mallory, you have a death grip on your reins.

He's going too fast.

He has to go fast.

It's a speed event.

Whoa.

Mallory.

Don't get up.

Are you okay?

I guess.

Why did he stop so fast?

Because you don't know what you're doing.

She's going to ruin him.

She keeps yanking on his mouth, he's going to start rearing up

- and if that happens-- - Okey.

If you're so concerned about Shorty,

why don't you ride him and show her yourself?

How do you expect me to do that?

He's right.

We should just forget about the whole thing.

Uh, no.

You know what you're supposed to do when you fall off a horse?

Quit?

Caleb quits.

Yeah.

And look how that worked out for him.

He's selling Shorty, I don't believe it.

Maybe it's another one of those rodeo superstitions.

Have a wreck, sell your horse, oh and blame

your girlfriend for everything.

Have you talked to him at all?

Like I need the aggravation?

So you're totally over him?

Yep.

Besides, he should apologize to me for being such a jerk.

You know, you're totally right.

It's just maybe you should make the first move.

You mean like call him?

Yeah, you know just see if he's okay.

And pretend I care.

Yeah, okay.

Why not?

Look, I borrowed his motorcycle.

You borrowed it?

Without asking?

It kind of went into the ditch.

It took me half the night to wheel it back.

Caleb, you know how much that motorcycle means to him.

I know.

I wasn't thinking clearly, all right?

I'll pay for everything, I promise.

Just please.

You've gotta help me square things over with Ty.

No, I'm not getting involved in this.

What's all this?

Um, just surprise Jack with his favorite Saskatoon Berry

pie.

Beef bourguignon, Saskatoon Berry pie.

What's the occasion?

Nothing.

Just uh, just a nice dinner, while we still can.

I'm sure Jack hasn't mentioned it, but I think--

I think he's having a bit of a hard time with the idea

that you're getting married to Peter

and then you're not going to be here anymore.

Yeah, me too.

I mean I'm crazy about Peter, but I'm not so crazy about the

where we're going to live part.

Yeah.

I know exactly what you mean.

I've lived at Fairfield my whole life and--

And?

And I--

And I've, shoot, forgot my flour sifter.

Mallory, what are you doing out there?

Come on, you've gotta cut it closer.

Move it Mallory.

Caleb.

She's holding back.

She's gotta let him run.

Caleb, well she's just scared.

She doesn't want to go too fast.

Gosh, she's barely moving.

Because she's afraid.

You know maybe you could just talk to her

instead of yelling at her.

Build up her confidence.

I know that sucks.

Not a bad rider Mallory.

Buy you've got to loosen up on the reins.

Let Shorty do his job.

Yeah right.

If I let him go, how am I supposed to control him?

You don't have to.

Hell, he knows what he's doing out there better than you do.

A little more time and you two will be a real team.

Oh.

Hi Lisa.

Didn't expect to see you here.

Hi.

But then again, now that you're engaged I guess--

Oh.

Well I guess it's true what they say.

Good news travels fast.

Val, it would be great if you could keep that under wraps

for a little bit longer.

Sure.

But you know as I said to Jack, I'm just--

I'm just so happy for both of you.

And we're going to be neighbors.

Neighbors.

I don't-- I don't know, I don't think so.

So you'll be living at Fairfield then?

Wow.

Jack did hit the jackpot didn't he?

No-- no Lisa, I'm sorry.

I'm just kidding.

I'm sure you'll have an ironclad pre-nup.

You know, just in case it doesn't work out

or something right?

You know I would love to chat um,

but I really do have a lot to do Val.

Sure. Another time.

I'll just leave the pie.

No, I actually made dessert, so you can

Spent half my life listening to that story.

Yeah, well it's true.

I mean, even pole bending.

It might be a girl's sport, but still...

split-second timing.

Can't even show Mallory how it's done

if I don't have a clear head.

Hand me that's screwdriver?

Okay.

Thanks.

But you should know, I never would

have spun out on that turn if you'd gotten the brakes right.

If you knew anything about motorcycles,

you wouldn't have braked on a turn.

Hey, that's--

My truck.

How did you get it back from the repo-man?

All it took was some money.

Forget it Ash.

It's real generous and all, but you know I can't accept. I'm not that generous.

When you get back on the circuit, you can pay me back.

Yeah, well that may might be a while yet.

Well, that's okay.

I won't charge interest.

Thanks.

Go Mallory.

Go Mallory.

Yeah.

Woo, bring him home.

Bring him home.

Okay, so maybe Grandpa isn't getting married.

But one way or another, things are

gonna change around here.

And I don't know, Lou's leaving.

That's for sure, right?

I'm graduating high school and you're going off to college

and--

Those are all good things Amy.

How come it doesn't feel like it?

Amy.

Even if all those things do happen,

one thing is never gonna change.

You love that damn bike more than me?

It's that obvious he?

Hm mm.
