- Previously
on "Heartland."

- Oh, no, what happened?

- He just pulled up lame.

- What did Cass say?

- He strained his
suspensory ligament.

- I am humbled to announce,
by way of acclimation,

I will be your next mayor!

- Excuse me, stop!

Excuse me!

And I, too, will be running to
be your next mayor of Hudson.

- What I want is to be here
with you a little longer.

I mean, this could be
something, Georgie.

- This is why I said
goodbye in Europe.

- You ready?

- Yeah.

You've picked Atlas?

Good choice.

- My doctor actually says

that I'm ready to
leave the facility now.

- I don't think you
should rush into anything.

Luke can stay here as long as--

- Yeah, thank you, but
Luke belongs with me.

And the sooner that
we're back together,

the sooner we can all
move on with our lives.

- Back up!

- Come on!
- Oh, jeez!

- Oh!
- Take that!

- Can you get the bubbles?

- You want some of this?!

- Oh!

- Whoa, whoa,
whoa, okay, okay!

- I'm gonna get you!

- You guys!

- Hey, well,
this looks like fun.

- Come on in, there's
plenty of room.

- I'd love to, but
I just came to ask

if you wanted me to
take Spartan for a walk.

- Oh, I would like to, but you
can come with me if you want.

I'd like the company.

- Yeah.

Sure, sounds good.

- Are you good with these guys?

- Yeah, yeah, I got this.

- Okay.
- Georgie.

- I got this.
- Can you take a picture

of us first?
- Yeah, sure.

- Awesome. Thanks.

- Okay, picture time!

Okay, come on, Lyndy.
- All right.

- All right.
- Ready?

- Ready, one--

- Smile!
- Two, three.

Cheese.

- Cheese.
- Are you smiling?

- Are you smiling?
- Are you smiling?

- So you know that
horse Jade was riding, Atlas?

- Yeah.
- Isn't he beautiful?

I just think, with
the right owner,

he could do pretty
much anything.

And I bet Lisa would sell
him for next to nothing

if she knew he was
going to the right home.

- Why do I get the feeling

like you're trying to
pitch me on that horse?

- No, it's not that.

It's just
horses like Atlas

don't come around that often,

and when I saw him at Fairfield,

I thought he'd be
perfect for you.

I get that Spartan's
your main guy, but--

- But?

- But he's not as
young as he used to be.

And now that he's injured,
I think having another horse

could take the pressure
off him a little bit.

- You know, I get what
you're saying, Georgie,

but Spartan's fine.

I'm not ready to put him
out to pasture just yet.

Ho, ho, whoa, whoa.

You're okay.

Easy.

Hey, you're fine.

- What was that?

- I don't know.

We should probably
get him home, though.

- Amy.

- Just stay calm.

- What do we do?

- Just back away, slowly.

Don't make any sudden moves.

- It's pretty unusual
to see a wolf like that.

- Yeah, we could have died.

- Actually, wolf attacks
are extremely rare.

They normally like to keep
their distance from humans.

If it was a cougar
on the other hand,

I'd be a lot more worried.

They attack from above, so
you don't see it coming.

- Well, that's
reassuring, isn't it?

- How is Spartan doing?

- He's good.

The swelling's come
down quite a bit.

- Okay.

I think he's bored
of being hand walked.

I was hoping maybe I
could ride him tomorrow?

- I don't see why not.

- Okay, I just don't
want to re-injure him.

- I know.

He is showing some
signs of arthritis,

but if you take it easy,
I think it should be fine.

I should go.

I got to help Scott at
the clinic today, okay?

- Okay.

Oh, Ty, don't forget
we have that meeting

with Clint tonight.

- Right, see you later.

- You're a good boy.

- Okay, tomorrow at nine,
you're meeting with the HSBA.

- HSBA.

That's the Hudson Small
Business Association, right?

- Right, and then after that,
you're meeting with the HMTA.

- HMTA.

I don't know that one.

- The Hudson Model
Train Association.

You need all the votes
you can get, honey.

You're still 10
points behind JD.

- Why, I was 15 last week.

- That doesn't mean we can
become complacent, Lou.

You still have to be
campaigning every day.

You can't be out here picking
garbage up in an alley.

- I have no choice, all right?

An animal got into
the bins last night.

- Lou, let me help you.

- Here.

- Why don't you pitch in
instead of doing nothing?

- I'm not doing nothing.

I'm campaign managing,
which is pretty obvious.

- You know, I don't know why
you would ask him to do that.

- Because I'm the
obvious choice, Jack.

I'm the only one in the
family with experience

in the election process, right?

Do you remember "Time for Tim"?

- Yeah, I do.

And as I recall, it
wasn't "time for Tim."

- Well, that's beside the point.

- He's doing a great job,
and he's doing it for free,

which is about all I can afford.

- Yeah, well, keeping
Werth out of office,

that's payment enough for me.

I didn't invest in
half of this restaurant

to have him come along and
put us out of business.

Now, let's go over
next week's schedule.

- Okay.

- You have a meet and greet

at the old folk's home
on Tuesday afternoon.

Oh, and good news, they're
gonna let you call bingo.

- Why do you want
to bring Atlas here?

- So that Amy can ride him.

- Mm-hm.

How does Amy feel about you
playing horse matchmaker?

- Well, she's reluctant.

- I thought so.

Your grampa was the same when
Paint started slowing down.

- Exactly, and that's
why I want to help her.

I think I can make this
a lot easier for Amy.

I know Spartan's got a
lot of good years left,

he just can't do all the
same stuff he used to.

- I know, if you bring
Atlas to Heartland,

you have to tread lightly.

You of all people
know that Spartan's

more than a horse to Amy.

- Does that mean I
have your permission?

- Yes, you have my permission,

but I would lower
your expectations

because I don't
think Amy is ready

to have a new horse in her life.

- Well, if it isn't my favoriteranching family from Hudson.

- Well, probably
won't be for long

after Lou beats you
in the election.

- Well, I like your spirit, Tim.

I hear you're managing
Lou's campaign.

- You heard right.

- It's nice to see that Lou

has so much support
from her family.

Of course, to win,
you're gonna need

support from the community,
something you're lacking,

according to the latest polls.

- Well, actually, I'm
up from last week,

so I guess that
means you're down.

- There's always a
little excitement

when a new candidate
enters the race.

Kinda like buying
a brand new car.

Problem is, a few
weeks into campaigning

tends to dent the bumper,
dull the shine a little.

Pretty soon, no one's excited
about that brand new car.

- Okay.

Let's go, Tim, before
this car metaphor

turns into something else.

- Thanks.

- Bye, Dad.

- Good people those two.

Salt of the earth.

- Is there something
I can do for you, JD?

- Well, I just came by to
congratulate you in person

on officially entering the race.

- Thank you.

- Now, believe me, I know
how challenging it is

to enter public life.

I wouldn't be here if it
wasn't for my wife Diane.

She is a true angel raising
little Harper and Max.

When I think of the millionthings that she does every day,

taking them to school, droppingthem off at soccer practice,

baking the homemade
chocolate croissants

for the church fundraiser, Imean, that woman does not rest.

- I have met Diane
and she seems lovely.

- She is.

She's the only reason I even

thought about running for mayor.

It gives me great
comfort to know

that Diane is with ourchildren, even when I can't be.

Unfortunately, the
reality of being mayor

is time away from loved ones.

Being a mother, you
must worry about

what effect that will
have on your children,

especially with no
father in the picture.

- My children have a father.

- Lives in Vancouver,
doesn't he?

- Listen, JD, you're
not the first person

to throw my divorce in my face.

And you're certainly not
the first person to suggest

that my ambition
beyond soccer practice

and bake sales makes
me a bad mother,

so if you're trying
to get under my skin,

you're gonna have to do
a lot better than that.

- You got me all wrong, Lou.

I get that to be successful,

you have to make sacrifices.
- Thanks.

- I just, I hate
to see kids suffer

when their mothers
aren't in the picture.

- You know, here I
was thinking you were

just a real estate developer.

Turns out, you're an expert
on motherhood as well.

Obviously, something
I know nothing about.

I guess I just needed a
man to explain it to me,

so thank you.

- Now, now, Lou, I'd
hoped to keep things

cordial between the two of us.

- Oh, this is me being cordial,

so you might want
to leave my diner

before I stop being polite.

You have a great day now.

- He's pretty great, huh?

I see hundreds of horses
at Fairfield every day

and a lot of them are talented,

but they're headstrong
and hot tempered.

Or the ones that are
really nice and sweet

are usually pretty lazy
when it comes to the work.

Atlas is the full package.

He's beautiful, strong, fast,
athletic, and good natured.

He's everything you
could ask for in a horse.

- That's quite the sales pitch.

- Thanks.

Did it work?

- He is beautiful, Georgie,
but I'm not in the market.

- Well, I think if you
took him for a ride,

you'd see what
I'm talking about.

- Georgie, I need
you to stop, okay?

I think your heart's in theright place, but I'm not ready.

Hey, Ty.

How many?

- Here, I got him.
- That's terrible.

- Thanks.

- Yeah.

No, thanks for letting me know.

Okay, I love you too.

Bye.

- Is everything okay?

- No, we should find Remi.

- Why, what's wrong?

- Well, Ty's been treating
injured animals all day.

He said there's a cougar andmore than one wolf in the area.

We should probably
get Remi inside.

- Yeah, okay.

- What is it, Remi?

- Remi, shush,

I'm trying to read.

What's her problem?

- I don't know, but she
must smell something.

Remi.

Remi!

- Remi.
- Girl, come back!

Come here, girl.

- You want wine with dinner?

Lis?

Would you like wine with dinner?

- Yup.

Yeah, lots of wine.

In fact, I'll have
a glass right now.

- Is everything all right?

- Yeah, just
another Fairfield issue.

Nothing to worry about.

- I'll do that.
- It's okay, I got it.

- No, I'll do it.
- I got it.

- Hey, if something's
bothering you,

I wouldn't mind
knowing about it.

- If I tell you, you have to
keep it between the two of us.

Lou especially cannot know.

- I'm not gonna tell anybody,

but what's Fairfield
got to do with Lou?

- So you remember
that I was having

some cashflow issues
with my business.

- Yeah.
- I brought in some investors

to bridge the gap and one of
them is Werth Developments.

It's a small investment, butnow, his lawyers are telling me

that I have to
repay it, in full.

- Can they do that?

- No, not unless they can prove

that I am mismanaging
my company, which,
of course, I'm not.

- Well, what are you gonna do?

- If I fight it, I
waste money on lawyers.

I want to just repay
him, but the truth is,

I don't know if I can
actually afford it.

- Have you guys seen Rem?

- Oh, she's not in here,
but Katie and Luke,

they're playing
in the tree house.

She might be out there.

- Okay, thanks.

Katie?!

- Luke!

- Where are they?

- Come on, Rem, let's go.

Come on.
- There they are.

Rem, come.

Let's go.
- Hey, you guys.

- Come on!
- Come on, Rem.

- We were looking for you.

Come on, we should
get you inside.

- Come on, let's go.

Go, go, go.
- Wait, what do you mean?

Why do we have to go inside?

- I'll explain on the way.

Come on, let's go.

- Oh.

Thanks.

- Yeah.

- Appreciate you guys
making time for me today.

- Yeah, of course.

Is everything okay?

- Yeah.

Yeah, it is.

You know, as a matter of
fact, I have some good news.

Luke's mom, she's been
making some amazing progress

these past few months.

She's got a good
job, a new apartment.

But more importantly, all
of her doctors are satisfied

that she's at a point right now

where she can go back
to parenting full-time,

so what I'd like to do

is move Luke back in with
Andrea as soon as possible.

Yeah, I know, it's
a lot to take in.

You know I wouldn't be
doing this if I didn't think

it was the right thing for Luke.

- Of course.

We knew this was temporary
from the beginning, so...

It's just Luke's, you know,

he's become a part of
our family and, you know.

- Yeah.

You've made a wonderful
home for him here.

I know this isn't easy.

- You said, "as
soon as possible."

What does that mean?

- This weekend?

Really?

- Yeah, Clint is
gonna pick you up

and drop you off at your mom's.

- That's so amazing.

I know it might be late,

but would it be okay
if I call my mom?

- Oh, yeah, of course.

- Yes!

But I'll see you
guys again, right?

And Lyndy and Jack and everyone?

- Absolutely.

You can come and visit anytime.

- But I won't live here anymore.

Remi will have to find somewhereelse to sleep at night.

- That may be true,

but you can come back
and see her anytime.

- Will she remember me?

- Of course she will.

Remi never forgets a friend.

- Isn't that right, Remi?

- Hi, Mom.

I just heard.

I can't wait.

Okay, I'm gonna start
packing tomorrow.

Okay, bye, Mom.

Love you.

- Hey.
- Hey.

- What a surprise.

- Mm.

- Hey, I wasn't
expecting to see you.

- Mm.

- How long do I have you for?

- Couple days.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

I just hired somebody new
at Aspen Grove to help out.

- Really?
- Yeah.

Well, they're a little green,

so I can't leave them
alone for that long.

- Well, we'll make
the most of our time.

- Mm-hm.

- Sure I can move
some stuff around.

- Oh, yeah?

What kind of stuff?

- Well, I'm in the middle
of an election, so.

- Yeah, that election, kinda
came out of left field, huh,

you running for mayor?

- Well, I told you,
I couldn't just

let JD win without a fight.

- Yeah, I understand that,

I just wish that I was
part of that decision.

I hear some couples
even talk about

these big life changes
with each other.

- Well, I don't
remember you telling me

about turning our
vacation property

into a working cattle ranch.

- Lou, you were part
of that decision.

- No, you told me about
it after the fact.

It's not the same thing.

- Okay, look, I had to act fast,

otherwise I would have
lost the opportunity.

- Well, I had to
act quickly too.

I'm sorry I didn't have time
to ask for your permission.

- Hold, this is not
about asking permission.

- Then what is it about?

- It's about the fact
that you announced

to the entire town that
you're running for mayor

before you told your boyfriend.

That's what it's about.

- Mommy?

- Hey.

Honey, what are
you doing out here?

You okay?

- I had a bad dream.

Hey, Mitch.

- Hey, Katie.

I'm gonna take off.

- Can I sleep
in your room tonight?

- Yeah, sweetie.

Come here.

- Oh, look.

Lou's up a few points.

- Oh, I bet that JD Werth,
he's not so confident now.

- Mm.

- Morning.
- Hi.

- Hey, Lou, take a look at this.

- Good news, hey?

- Yeah, I saw that.

It's great.

- So you left
early this morning.

- I had to meet the health
inspector down at the diner.

Apparently, somebody
made a complaint

about the cleanliness
of our kitchen.

- You're kidding.

- Yeah.

I mean, we passed, but I
sure would like to know

who filed the complaint.

- Hey.

Look what I got in
the mail this morning.

It's a letter from the Hudson
County bylaw enforcement.

Apparently, there's a law that
says you can't live in an RV

for more than six months, even
if it's on private property.

- What?

You haven't been
there that long.

- The complaint was lodged
by a private citizen,

and if I don't move the RV,

they're gonna charge
you a big fine.

- Yeah, we'll see about that.
- Who even knows I live there,

other than Lee the contractor?

Or maybe Sam next door?

- Well, the timing is
pretty interesting.

- What do you mean?

- A private citizen
made the complaint

to the health department
about the diner this morning.

But maybe it's
just a coincidence.

- Well, maybe it's JD Werth.

I'm just saying.

- We shouldn't jump
to conclusions,

but I would not put
something like this past him.

- Either would I.

JD's company invested
in Fairfield,

and now, they want
all their money back.

- What?

Are you kidding?

- Well, my accountant found
a way to pay them out,

and nobody is happier
to be out of business

with that man than me,

but if my financial situation
has been slightly different,

then it could've
been very bad timing.

- That's probably exactly
what he was hoping for.

- I'm starting to
see why everyone

who was running
against JD dropped out.

- So I hear you're leaving us.

Bet you're gonna
miss Boots, huh?

Well, not to worry, you
can come by, visit anytime.

Boots will be right
here waiting for you.

- But it'll be different.

I'll always have to say goodbye,

not just to Boots,
but to everyone.

- Well, it's not really
saying goodbye, is it?

It's more like see you later.

- It won't be the same.

- No.

No, it won't, but that's
not necessarily a bad thing.

No matter what, Heartland
will always be here.

It's been here six generations,

so, trust me, it's
not going anywhere.

- Hey, Jack, do you think
you might have some time

to help me with something?

- Well, depends on what
that something is, I guess.

- I want to make
that for Amy and Ty,

but I don't really
know where to start.

- Well, I think it's prettydoable for guys like you and me.

First thing we have to do

is find the right
material, though.

Help me look, come on.

- You're a good boy, Spartan.

You want to go for a ride?

We'll take it nice and slow.

I'm not gonna let you
get hurt, I promise.

Hey, Georgie, do
you have a second?

- Yeah.

I heard that Luke is moving
back in with his mom.

- Yeah.

- It's gonna be weird
not having him around.

- Yeah, it will.

You know, we were just
getting into a good routine

and now everything's
changing again.

I know how much
his mom loves him,

and I trust that this is
the right thing for Luke.

That's not what I came up
here to talk to you about.

I wanted to discuss Atlas.

- I know what you're gonna say.

I'm sorry for being
so insensitive.

I didn't mean to
push you like that--

- Actually, I was going to say

that I'm glad you pushed
me the way you did.

- Really?

- Yeah 'cause you were right.

Having another horse would
take the pressure off Spartan.

I just don't know if
I'm ready for that yet.

So I guess what I'm saying is

I'm okay for you
to keep pushing me,

but you're gonna have
to be patient too.

- Totally get that.

- Okay.

What are you doing right now?

- Besides cyberstalking Quinn?

Nothing.

- You want to go for a ride?

- Yeah, sure.

- Lou.

I hear you had a visit

from the health
inspector this morning,

but I have no complaints
about this pie.

- Really, and you
wouldn't happen to know

anything about this, would you?

- No, of course not.

But if I were you, I wouldn't
go around showing people

your family's
indifference to the law.

- Do you really think you can
intimidate me with your lies?

- I resent that, Lou.

I've always been
up front and honest

and I expect others
to be as well,

and if they're not,
I cut ties with them.

For example, I recently
had to pull an investment

out of a local stable that
was being run into the ground.

I'm sure you've heard of them.

Fairfield?

- I'm not gonna let
you get away with this.

I'm gonna make sure
everyone in this town knows

exactly the kind of
person you really are.

- Oh, I wouldn't do
that if I were you, Lou.

You see, I play golf with
Fred Garland's dad, Dave.

It's Dave's vision that guides
the Garland food empire.

I've been talking
a lot to him lately

about alternative beef products.

Have you ever tasted them?

They're made with pea proteins,

and they are
absolutely delicious.

I think they're the future.

In fact, I've invested
pretty heavily in them.

Heartland beef could soon
be a relic of the past,

or, for that matter,
Aspen Grove beef.

At least that's what
I'm gonna tell him

at our next golf game.

Now, if you'd excuse me.

- Okay, fold them in half,
leave them at the door.

- Mm-hm.
- Thanks.

- You got it.

- Hi, guys.

Dad?

What's happening?
- Oh.

These people showed up to
help with the campaign.

- Great--
- They're gonna put in signs,

they're gonna knock on doors.

- I need to talk to you.
- Hey, you should give them

a little speech.

- Dad.
- Yeah, no,

to inspire the troops.

Hey, everybody, listen up.

Lou would like to say something.

They're all yours.

- Okay, hey, everybody, thank
you so much for being here,

it truly, truly
means a lot to me,

but I'm sorry to
have wasted your time

because I'm gonna be
dropping out of the race.

I'm not gonna be running
for mayor, so I'm so sorry.

- Lou, wait a minute.

- Dad.
- Wait, wait.

You mind telling me what
just happened in there?

- Werth is gonna
win this election

one way or the other, okay?

- I can't believe that you
would let him intimidate you

with a couple of calls
to bylaw enforcement.

- He knows Fred Garland's dad.

- Well, so what?

- So he threatened
to sour the deal

with Heartland and Aspen Grove.

- Don't believe him,
he's full of it.

- Considering what he's
already done to Lisa,

you really think JD's
not the kind of guy

who's gonna follow
through on his threats?

Anyway, I made the
decision to run for mayor

in the heat of the moment.

I didn't even talk to Mitch
about it, and that was unfair.

And I really hurt him, so.

- You're worried about Mitch,

the guy who betrayed
our family business?

- I care about him,
Dad, a lot, okay?

And I'm not gonna lose
him over this election,

and I'm definitely not
gonna put our family

in JD's line of fire,

so dropping out is
the right decision.

I'm sorry.

- You!

- Listen, I'm just
here to see Lou, okay?

I don't have time to
have another fight

about the cattle business.

- You may not know this,
but if it wasn't for me,

Lou may never have gone after
you the day of your wedding.

But I told her not
to have any regrets,

which is kind of
ironic considering

how much I regret
telling her that now.

You know why?

- Why?
- Because of the way

you're acting over
this election.

I mean, who cares if she
didn't tell you first?

- I was the last
person she talked to.

I didn't even know
she was running.

- Oh.

Well, guess what?

She's not running anymore,

which is a shame because she
would have made a great mayor.

But what do you care, right?

Got what you wanted.

- That's not what I wanted.

- Well, maybe it's not too late

for you to try to
change her mind.

That is, if you can get
over yourself first.

- You know,
I've galloped Spartan

across these fields so
many times I've lost count.

He's just always been so strong.

It was easy to take for grantedhe'd be like that forever.

- You can
treat his arthritis.

- I know, and Ty and I
have talked about that,

but he's never gonna
be like he was.

I think I've known
that for a while.

I just didn't wanna believe it.

- I'm sorry I tried
to make you buy Atlas.

Such an idiot.

- No, Georgie, it's
fine, and we're good.

I told you that.

- Yeah, I know, it's
just I haven't been

100% honest with you.

Half the reason I wanted to
help you with Spartan so bad

was 'cause I needed
a distraction.

- From what?

- Quinn.

- Well, cyberstalking him
probably doesn't help.

- I know.

I hate social media.

Now I know that he's in
Kelowna at a horse show.

He's one province over.

When he's far away, telling
him to leave made sense,

but the closer he is, the
more nothing makes sense.

- Well, maybe you shouldn't
worry about what makes sense.

You're young enough
to make a few mistakes

and take some risks.

I know I sure did.

- Hm.

Is that one of the wild colts?

- Hey, yeah, I know this guy.

That's the one that I
was gonna gentle for Sam.

- Look at that.

I've never seen
anything like it.

- So I had a very interesting
conversation with your father.

He said that he was the
one that convinced you

to come talk to me
on my wedding day,

said something about you
not having any regrets.

Lou, I gotta tell
you the same thing.

You can't drop out
of this election.

- Mitch--
- If you let JD Werth

win by acclimation,

it's gonna haunt you for
the rest of your life.

- I figured you'd be relieved.

- Sweetie, come here.

Listen, I didn't
fall in love with you

because you're somebody
who sits on the sidelines

and waits for somebody
else to speak up.

I fell in love with you
because you're the one

that speaks up, because
you jump in with both feet.

- Well, you didn't
seem to appreciate

my two-footed jump into
politics yesterday.

- That is true, that's true,

but that's only
because I was hurt

because I wasn't part
of your decision.

But now, I'm very
excited to celebrate

when you win that election.

- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah.

In fact, I think
that we should go out

and I'm gonna buy a
bottle of champagne

that we can drink on
the election night.

Mm.

- That's sweet, but you might
just want to save your money,

because even if I did
jump back into the race,

JD is still ahead in the polls.

But if I'm being truthful,
I really want to win.

I would be a great mayor.

- I know.

I know you'd be a great mayor.

- Hey, Lou?

- Hey.

- Sorry to interrupt.

- No, no, no.
- No, hey.

- Listen, I was
just talking to Bob

from the Wildlife Reserve,

and he was telling me his
theory of why there's been

so many reports of increased
wildlife in the area.

- Okay.

- So you know that huge
housing development

being built on the west
side of Gibson Creek?

- Yeah, I've seen
ads in the paper.

Huge mountain view
lots, too much money.

- Right, but what they're
not saying in the ads

is it's being built along
a major wildlife corridor,

so when they started
construction,

all the prey animals fled.

That's why we're seeing
wolves and cougars

wandering into
people's backyards.

Guess who's behind the buildingof this housing development?

- JD Werth.

- Exactly.

- Hey, do you think that
Bob would be willing to talk

to the press about this?

- I'm sure he'd be
more than happy to.

- Okay, I'm gonna pass onto you

a contact at the Hudson Times.

Can you share it with him?

- No problem.
- Okay, thanks.

You know what, on
second thought,

maybe you should buy that
bottle of champagne after all.

Hello, JD.

- Lou.

I heard a rumor you're
dropping out of the race.

- Well, you should know
better than to believe rumors.

I prefer to stick to facts,

like the ones in this article

about your housing development.

- Well, I already
read the article

and frankly, there's not
a word of truth in it.

The only thing more
fictitious than that article

is your chances
of becoming mayor.

- How many bribes does it take

to get houses built on
a wildlife corridor?

- You say that one more time,

I'll sue you so fast you
won't know what hit you.

- I don't have to say it.

Everyone's already thinking it.

So you can try to intimidate
me and my family all you want,

but I'm not scared
of you anymore.

So come election day, my
name will be on that ballot.

Count on it.

- Thanks for your help, Georgie.

- Yeah, no problem.

That was easy.

The hard part will
be gentling him.

- Yeah, that's true.

But the way he connected
with Spartan yesterday,

I know this sounds crazy,

but it's almost like Spartan
was giving me his approval.

- What makes you
so sure this horse

will be a better fit than Atlas?

- I don't know.

Atlas is a pretty perfect horse,

but I don't think I'm looking
for the perfect horse.

Think I'm looking
for the right horse.

- How do you know
he's the right one?

- Just a feeling.

When something feels right,
you have to at least try.

- Now that we're done,
how about a game of chess?

- Definitely.

- All right.

Mm-hm.
- Wow, cool chess set.

Is it new?

- It is, and it's yours.

It's a gift from all of us.

- Thank you so much.

I love it.

But half the pawns are missing.

- Nah, they're not.

- Thank you.

- I've got one right here.

Luke, always take care
of the ones you love.

- And wherever you go,

you take a piece of
this place with you.

Keep it close to
your heart, okay?

- Don't be afraid to take
a risk every now and then,

even if it scares
you half to death.

- I'm totally moving up to
the loft once you leave,

but I'm really gonna miss you.

- Luke, try to let Jack
win a couple games.

It's good for his ego.

Take that?

- Sure.

Luke, your mum is your
family, and now so are we.

And families always
stick together,

no matter how far away they are.

- Your life may change, a lot,

but you're always welcome here.

- It's true.

So you come visit us, okay?

And remember to breathe.

- Thank you so much.

I love it.

It's perfect.

- So we gonna play or what?

- Yeah, let's play.

- All right.

And don't you dare let me win.

- Hey.
- Hey.

- You're not gonna believe this.

- What?

- Well, ever since
that article came out,

there's been a serious uptick
in the number of volunteers.

- Really?

- All these people

are here for me?

- You better believe it, honey.

You feel like saying something?

- Yeah.

Hey, everybody.

Thank you so much
for being here.

Wow.

I just wanted to say

that JD Werth and I
have very different

visions for this town.

He wants to build big
houses and big box stores,

and I know for a fact
he wants to change

the face of our
beloved main street.

He calls it progress,
but progress for who?

For a handful of wealthy people

who want to buy summer
homes with a view?

A view that's already cost

countless wildlife
their natural habitat.

Is that the town we
really wanna live in?

- No.

- For me, Hudson has always
been a hopeful place.

It's a place that welcomes
everyone to the dinner table,

so I say that we
fight to protect that.

And we fight to
keep it that way,

because in Hudson, we're family.

- Are you sure you
have everything, Luke?

- Yep.

- Well, you come visit us
anytime you want, okay?

- I will.

I promise.

- If you need a ride or
anything, you let me know.

- Okay. Bye.

Bye, Lyndy.

Oh!

I almost forgot.

Jack helped me
make this for you,

but you can't open it here.

You have to open it at
the new house, okay?

- Okay.

Thanks, Luke.

- Goodbye, Luke.

Goodbye.

- Goodbye.

- I need this done quickly.

- It should only
take a few days.

Snares will take
care of most of them.

Anything left, I'll
deal with personally.

- I don't need the details.

I just need this wildlife
problem to disappear.

- Consider it done.

Hey.

This isn't the
amount we agreed on.

Where's the rest?

- You'll get it when
you finish the job.

- Okay, now, here is a
list of all the people

who requested lawn signs.

You don't mind dropping
those off today, do you?

- That's gonna take all day.

- What he means is,
no, we don't mind.

Let's go.
- Thank you.

- Yeah.
- Hey.

- Hello, Georgie.

- Hi.

- Hey, Rem.

Mom?

- Yeah, honey?

- Can I borrow the car?

- Yeah, yeah, the
keys are right there.

Where you headed?

- Just to Kelowna.

- I'm sorry, did
you say Kelowna?

Why would you need to go there?

- 'Cause that's where Quinn is.

He's at a horse show there.

I know how it sounds,
but my friend Rachel,

from camp, lives there,
so I can stay with her.

You can call her
mom if you want.

- Yeah, I will.

But, Georgie, I mean,
that's long way to go.

- I've been trying
to ignore my feelings

because I thought it was
the sensible thing to do.

And it turns out, it's not
sensible, it was just safe.

Maybe this thing with
Quinn won't work out,

maybe it's a big mistake,

but I think if something feels
right, then I should try.

- You better call me
every hour to check in.

Every hour.
- I will.

Thank you.

- Do you want to open it, Lyndy?

- Yeah.

- Yeah?
- Come here.

- Okay.

All right.

- This part right here.

- Yup.
- Yeah.

- That's me.

- Yeah.

- That's Lyndy and
Daddy and Mommy.

Who's that?

- Luke.
- That is Luke.

What a beautiful gift.

- "For the new house,
when it has walls.

"Like Jack said, it's not
goodbye, just see you later."

- I didn't think it
would be this hard.

- Me neither.

If you could go back, though,

would you agree to
foster Luke again?

- In a heartbeat.

- Me too.
