How are you doing?
You survived.

Yeah, we survived, all right.

Got married.

That's Sam, all right.

He was a pro ball player.
Yeah.

I'm gonna buy that herd
with or without Tim.

Okay.

It's not time to retire,
Lise, it's time to ramp up.

- Wow!

It's not exactly roomy now, is it?

I don't know how you did
it for so many years.

Tim and I are tripping
all over each other.

Well, just remember, when
you're feeling that way,

there's 600 acres right
outside your door.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I can
hear your Dad snoring

even from way out here.

[laughs]

[horse whinnies in the distance]

Oh wow. Wow-wow-wow.

So beautiful.

Yeah. He was just a foal

[beeps call on] Hello.

Hi, Sam.

Oh. Yeah. No, I'll be

♪♪

Started seven times last year,

won everything but one race.

Just high-end pedigree.
Endless potential.

Sounds like a good horse, I guess.

Jack, come on, that's like saying

a Maserati is a good car.
Look at him--

Well, you buy and sell
race horses all the time.

What makes this one so different?

Platinum Bow is the kind of horse

that wins the Kentucky Derby.
Oh.

Okay?
And even if he doesn't,

well, his pedigree makes
him an invaluable sire.

I don't know, Lise,

it sounds like a pretty
pricey business venture,

doesn't it?
Oh yeah, yeah. It is.

I had to work my butt off
to get all the investors

I needed on board.

[Look at us] first I buy Mitch's herd,

and now you're expanding
your racing stock.

We're quite the pair, aren't we?

Yeah, we are quite the pair.

And I... remember, I told you,

I'm hosting the whole
auction at Fairfield

and you said you would come with me.

I wouldn't miss it for the world.

All right.

- GG!
- Hello! Look who's here!

- Hi. Hi.
- All right, Lyndy,

can you go wash your hands and
then you can have a snack.

- Okay.
- Thanks, Sweetheart.

Is there any way you guys can
watch Lyndy for a little bit?

I have to go find the wild stallion.

- What happened?
- He escaped last night

when Sam's place was getting robbed.

- [groans]
- Another robbery?

What is going on?
You want me to come with you?

No, it's okay. I should
be back in a few hours.

Are you sure you're okay?
Of course. You go on.

Thank you.

- Jack, what about--
- Oh, don't worry.

Lou said she'd be home early.

So, we'll have plenty of time
to get to your auction.

you don't have to wait 'til practice

to work on these visualization
techniques we're talking about.

You can do this stuff while
you're brushing your teeth

Okay, Gunner, suit up, man.
Let's see what you got.

- Ready? Let's go.
- All right, Boys.

Tim! [laughs]

Welcome back!

Heard you got married.
Congratulations!

Thank you. Yeah.
Big change, but a good one.

So, what? You're about
halfway through class.

Yeah.

Why are you still standing
around talking to these guys?

Well, I actually like to
spend the first half

of practice working on
visualization techniques.

You know, training the
mind as well as the body.

Kind of a holistic approach.

Yeah. Well, I remember
Gunner from last year

and what he needs is to
spend time in the chutes,

not sitting around visualizing it.

Well, actually,

the kids have reacted pretty
well to my technique.

Including Gunner.

Just watch this.
He's improved a lot.

Really sorry about what happened.

Yeah. No worries.

Nothing taken that can't be
replaced. The truth is,

I'm more concerned about
that horse of yours.

Police officer I was dealing with said

he got a report about a black stallion

going over Highway 7.
Is he okay?

Apparently had a close
call with a gravel truck,

but he's fine.

Okay. Well, at least
that gives me somewhere

to start looking.
Yeah, I'll...

I'll saddle up my horse,
and give you a hand.

It's okay, you have
enough on your plate.

I'll be fine.
Oh no. I wanna help.

♪♪

Honestly, Lou was supposed
to be here by now.

Where could she possibly be?

Lise, maybe you should just go ahead

to the auction on your own.

I'll stay here with the kids then.

I'm old enough to babysit Lyndy.

Well, your Mom thinks otherwise, Katie.

But I took a course at school.

I know how to do baby CPR.

Do you guys know how to do baby CPR?

- Hmm.
- Well, no but...

Well, she has a point.

You'll have to bring
it up with your Mom.

[car rumbles up outside]

Oh. Speak of the devil,
she's finally here.

Only over an hour late.

Well, she's got a lot on her plate.

Well, who doesn't?

At least pick up the phone.
[Lou] Sorry I'm late!

You would not believe the day I had.

Katie's gone to her room.
And Amy is out,

so, you have to keep an eye on Lyndy.

And she's got ten more
minutes of cartoons

that's all she's allowed.
Okay.

- We've gotta go, Lou.
- Okay...

Bye... [screen door shuts]

[sighs]

[Caleb] Go on. Get 'em through.

[chuckles] Good job today, everyone.

You should all be very
proud of yourselves.

Thanks, Caleb!

So, Gunner, he's got some moves, huh?

Yeah, he's improved a lot.

What's going on with my
filling system here?

Where are all the signed
waivers for the students?

I moved everything online.

Didn't you get my email?

No, I didn't get your email.

I have a system, don't mess with it.

Well, with all due respect,

I've been running the rodeo
school for six months now,

while you've been MIA, so...

I guess, I have my own system now.

Is that so?

Yeah, and if you'd bothered
to open the email,

you'd see I've doubled the
amount of students enrolled

in the school since you left.
So, a "Thank you"

or a "Atta boy, Caleb"
might feel nice.

What? You want a medal
for doing your job?

Just get my files back.
And on paper.

- I'm not gonna do that.
- Excuse me?!

When I get home, I will resend
you a link to the files,

Yeah...

he lost his home in Pike
River, then he lost his herd.

He just-- Everything he knows is gone.

And I kinda want him to have a,

a quiet retirement.

He deserves that.
Yeah.

A nice, quiet retirement on
the ranch was my idea too,

but really hasn't worked
out that way, has it?

I um...

I hope the stallion is not
overstaying his welcome.

After we find him,

I-I could look for someone else
to take him in, if you like.

No, no. Not at all.
It's okay.

I'm not out here searching

for completely selfless reasons.

I kinda like having the old guy around.

He's pretty good company.

- Buddy, have a heart.

We know that these horses
are on a one-way trip.

Well, look, I just drive the truck.

If your horse is back there,
you need to take it up

with the buyer, not me.

No, we did already, and
he said that I could

pay him for the cost of the horse.

Yeah, I know you!

You're Sam Langston!
Yeah, I was there

when you had that three-home
run game against the Sox.

Oh, man, that gambling thing was crazy.

You had such a promising career!

[horses neigh]

Hey, can I get a selfie with you?

Sorry, man, I don't... really do that.

Yes, he does.

No, I don't.

Yeah, Sam will take a selfie with you,

if you let my daughter get
her horse off your truck.

Uh, I don't know.

And he'll throw in a
baseball. Right, Sam?

Are you kidding me right now, Tim?

Signed! [chuckles] Come on.

I'll help you build that
high fence of yours.

Fine...

a selfie and signed
baseball, for the horse.

Deal!

[horses neigh]

[camera shutter snaps]

[gate clangs open]

[horses neigh]

You see him?

[horses neigh]

No, he's not in here.
[horses neigh]

The guy I talked to said

he loaded a black stallion
on this trailer.

I don't know what to tell you.

Maybe you got the wrong truck.
No, he said it was this one.

[horses neigh and bang on trailer]

Okay, look... don't tell my boss,

but there was a black stallion
kicking up a fuss in the back.

He was gonna hurt himself,
or one of the other horses,

so, I opened up the
back to check on him,

he made a run for it.

[sighs]

Probably halfway to Timbuktu, by now.

Why didn't you tell us
that in the first place?

Because he was a wild, mangy beast.

I didn't think he belonged to anybody.

Well, Dad, what about
these other horses?

We can't just leave them on the trailer.

Don't push your luck, Amy.

[footsteps shuffle away]

I still get my signed baseball, right?

Hello, hello. How's
everybody doing in here?

Hey, how was your meeting?

My meeting was exhausting.

But uh... thank you, again,

for looking after the girls.

I owe you lunch.

- [clears throat]
- For a week.

That's a good start.

I hope you're not too exhausted
to read one more proposal.

Ugh, no, just leave it on my desk.

I will read it tomorrow.

You'll wanna read it now.
Trust me.

They've been working
on it all afternoon,

and it's very well written,
thanks to my expert guidance.

I know you think we're
too young to babysit,

which is, in itself, absurd,

but if you read our proposal,

you'll see that Parker and I
are more than qualified.

And our rates are very competitive.

[Lou] This is impressive work.

I will take this proposal
under advisement.

Thanks, Rick.

And it wasn't that hard.
Turns out I'm uh...

pretty amazing with kids.
[chuckles]

Okay, Girls, I will see you next time.

- Bye!
- Bye!

- Bye, Rick!
- Bye, Lyndy. Bye!

[receding footsteps thud] Seriously?

[Caleb] Okay, Bronc Riding School,

yeah, warming up with the rope.
Good job, Boys!

Hey, Gunnar, at least someone's
doing something right.

Atta boy!

[low hum of chatter]

Caleb!
Excuse me.

[horse neighs] Yeah?

You were right, I really
should thank you

for looking after the
school while I was gone.

You've done an amazing job
and it's obvious that...

that these guys really like you.

Thank you.
Wow, uh...

that really means a lot.

But?

But, I've been going over
our kids' rodeo standings,

and their points are way
down over last year.

Yeah, I'd be lying if I
said I hadn't noticed

they've been bringing home
fewer buckles lately.

You see, the thing about teenagers is,

every once in a while you gotta
light a fire under their butts.

If you're too nice to 'em,
they're gonna slack off.

So, I need to be tougher on them.

No, I think you should do exactly
what you've been doin'.

No, they need a guy like you in
their lives, inspiring them.

But they also need a guy like me.

Who could care less about being liked.

So, if they wanna call
me a "washed-up loser"

behind my back, so be it.

Oh, they call you way worse than that.

My point is... you build 'em up,

You tear them down.

- No, I nudge 'em a little.
- Nudge.

Yeah.

Make sure they're giving us
everything they've got.

So, whadda you say, you
and I go back to running

this school the way we always have?

And make these kids the
best they can be.

I say, it's good to have you back, Tim.

All right, bring it in!

Come on, hustle!
[student] All right. Okay.

Okay!

All right, listen up,
at the end of the day,

one of you guys is getting cut.
I'm not gonna say who,

but I've already made my decision.

However, if that guy can prove to me,

at the end of practice, that he belongs,

then I'll let him stay.

[students] All right. Okay.
Mm-hmm.

- Okay, gimme a lap.
- Okay.

Oh, man!

Well, because of him,

now you can all give me
four laps. Let's go!

Come on, hustle up!
No more complaints.

[footsteps thud] Who are you gonna cut?

Nobody.

They don't know that.
[laughs]

It's good to be back!

[Caleb] Hustle up, Boys!

[Lou] Jessica, you packing up already?

Well, not by choice!
The by-law officer shut me down.

What? You're kidding!

Well, I know people in the office.

Do you want me to make a call?
No, it's okay.

It's my own fault. I should've
applied for a permit,

but it's gonna take weeks.
Well, here's an idea.

Why don't you set up at the dude ranch

while you're waiting for your permit?

I'm sure the guests
would love your work.

Oh, that's really kind of you, Lou,

but there's only a few
guests there at a time,

so, I don't think I'd get
very many customers.

- Just an idea.
- Yeah, okay.

Well, I'll think about it.

Come on!
[Amy chuckles lightly]

Okay, we need to have a talk about Lisa

and this whole babysitting thing.

Look, if this is about
earlier, I promise you,

I'll smooth things over with Lisa.

Yeah, and I, I'm so sorry
I was away so much.

I didn't think it would
take this long to track

the stallion down.

I think you both take for granted

that Lisa will be here
for Katie and Lyndy.

Now, she's so engrained in the
daily life of this place

you forget that she's got a whole stable

that she runs on her own.

When was the last time
either of you asked Lisa

what's going on in her life?

♪♪

Yeah, that's what I thought.

Well, if you'd bothered
to ask, you'd know that

she just took a big risk
on a horse, and now,

that horse is sick and she's
having one hell of a time.

So, maybe, instead of
always counting on Lisa

to be there for you,
maybe just this once,

you can try being there for her.

[bow snorts]

This must be Bow.

[bow nickers]

How's he doin'?

Well, he's been on and off of IV.

Thought it was colic,
then it was laminitis.

Turns out, it's Potomac Horse Fever,

which is quite serious but luckily,

he's young enough, I think
he'll recover quickly.

Good.

Lisa, listen,

I'm sorry about yesterday.

You are not the nanny,

and I should never have
made you feel like one.

Look, I need you both to understand

that I don't resent spending one second

with Lyndy and Katie.
I love those girls.

I love them, it's just, I need to...

create some balance with
work here at Fairfield.

It's important to me.
Of course.

And things are gonna be
different from now on.

Katie and Parker have made a
very compelling argument

about being old enough to babysit.

And Amy and I have decided
to give them a chance.

But more than that, we
wanted to thank you.

We both know we don't say it enough.

- You don't have to say it.
- Yes we do.

You know, being Mayor is
more than a full-time job,

but so is running Fairfield.

And I know you've sacrificed
a lot over the years,

to be there for Katie.

I just want you to know I appreciate it.

And, being a single parent over
the last year and a half,

you have always been there for me.

You've really stepped up,

and I don't think I could've
got through it without you.

So, thank you.

So, any news on the stallion?

Still missing.

But I have posters up everywhere,

I'm sure they will.

Hey, do you mind if we
make a quick stop?

I gotta check up on Jessica.

She's selling her photos
at the dude ranch.

I thought she was selling
them at Maggie's?

She was. But uh...

the local shelf was too small
for her big ambitions.

It's good enough for Mrs.
Beasley's scented candles,

and local authors like myself,

but not Jessica Cook.

You know, if I didn't know you better,

I would think that maybe you
were just a little bit jealous?

I'm not jealous, I just have whiplash.

I mean, gosh, this woman
has gone from being

my nightmare ex-boss,
to my nice ex-boss,

to my stepmother, in less than a year.

I know. I know, I know,
it happened fast,

but... she makes Dad happy.

Happier than I've seen him

her to the dude ranch.

Lou! Amy! Hi!

What's all this?

- It's an art market.
- Yeah! I can...

I can see that, but what's
it doing at my dude ranch?

Well, I figured I wouldn't
get very many customers

with just the guests, but
with multiple vendors,

we could attract tourists from Hudson,

and as you can see, it's
been a huge success.

Yeah.

Of course, it has.

I was thinking we could
do it every weekend.

And the best part is, you
would get ten percent

of everyone's sales.
Oh...

I've overstepped.

I'm sorry.
I can have everyone leave.

It's no problem, Jessica.
Don't do that.

Hey...

this is actually a really good idea.

I just... wish I'd thought of it myself.

Well, it was you who gave me
the idea in the first place.

We make a great team, Lou.
We always have.

Whadda ya say I introduce you

Excuse me, one sec. Amy...

can I show you somethin'?
Yeah.

Jessica has taken about
a thousand pictures

of this wild horse.

Yeah, I remember him
from our trail ride.

How do you feel about gentling him?

I know it's a lot to ask,

but Jessica really needs a horse,

and she's obviously in
love with this one.

Yeah, I'd be happy to.
