Heartland

Amy: Previously on "Heartland"...

Georgie, hey! What're you doing?

He wanted out, so... I'm gonna follow him.

See? That's where he was going.

Hey, buddy, you'll be okay.

Buddy. I like that. Bear and Buddy.

- Are you going somewhere? - Yeah.

To live with my dad for a while in a Manitoba.

Ty!

Back. Back, Bear.

Good boy! Good boy!

Bear might make a good police horse.

You really think he's made of that kind of stuff?

He's a special horse.

Good boy. (Hard pat)

Good boy, Bear.

- Hey, Georgie! - Oh, hey, you're back!

Nice horse. But did you really need a new one?

Well, Bear's not mine.

His owner passed away, so Amy took him on.

He likes to stay active, so I ride him as much as I can.

God, hi.

Um... and this is his buddy.

His name's... well, actually, Buddy.

Cool. Maybe we can take 'em on a ride sometime...

like tomorrow.

Yeah, sure. Um... I'll have to ask Jack's if he's working with Buddy,

but I that sounds good.

Great. It's a date then.

I'll pack us a lunch.

Oh no, you still have to take me out to lunch.

I won that bet fair and square.

All right, we are almost ready.

- Yay! Waffle time! - Thanks, Lisa.

You two are really loving this brunch tradition, aren't you?

My pleasure as always.

I got it! (Door creaks open)

Hello there. Come on in.

Hi. I'm Carson Heatley. I have a meeting with Lou today.

- Is... he in? - Uh-huh.

Uh, You must be the inspector from our insurance company.

I'm Lou.

- You're Lou. - Yeah, it's short for Louise.

Well, let me call you that then.

I have an Uncle Lew, and he looks nothing like you.

Um... (Clears throat)

Uh, we just recently renovated the barn loft,

and we want to have it added to the existing policy.

All right, well, let's scope it out.

Amy, would you mind taking Carson out to the barn?

Um, I'm sorry, but I actually have a client arriving any minute.

I can't.

- And we'll see you soon. Bye! - Bye, Mommy!

- Bye, honey. - Nice to meet you, Carson.

Nice to meet you.

- After you, Louise. - (Sighs) Okay.

(Gate clanks, horses whinny, hooves thunder)

Hey, Casey. Everything all right?

Not really, no.

- What's the matter? - Just another freezing cold shower

followed by an even colder breakfast.

No hot water and no stove... again.

Well, check the propane tanks?

Of course I checked the tanks, they're full.

Well, maybe there's something wrong with the regulator.

I gotta say, I never saw this coming.

Really? 'Cause it keeps happening.

I meant I never saw myself living in a tin can

parked on the rodeo grounds at this point in my life.

Oh, come on, honey.

It's part of your job. You're on the road all the time.

I know, it's just...

starting to feel like I need a real home to come back to, you know?

Okay, calm down. We'll take a look at it after practice.

It'll be all right.

Thanks.

Lacey: Not right now. I'll call him later. Yeah.

- Amy, right? - Yeah.

- I'll be with you in a second. - Okay.

Don't believe it. She's been on work calls all morning.

Is Budget Buster in the trailer?

No. We let him ride up front with us.

Georgie: Hey.

Hey, Olivia. What're you doing here?

I might ask you the same question.

She wants Amy to look at her jumping horse.

No. This was my stepmother's idea.

I actually think that it's a waste of time.

O-kay, I think I'll get going.

- See you tomorrow. - See ya.

Tomorrow, huh?

Okay, Olivia, I'm ready to have a look.

So what exactly is going on?

He just keeps screwing up.

Do you think you could you be a little more specific?

Sure. He cost about a hundred thousand dollars,

has a great coach, the best of everything,

and hasn't come close to winning a ribbon in months.

Maybe it's better if you just show me what's happening.

(Budget Buster grunts, Hooves plod)

- Whoa! - See? That's what he does!

He's going toward the fence!

Okay, just-just circle him around, circle him.

That's it, that's it.

Settle down.

It happened again?

Of course it did. He was supposed to be champion

and this is what we're stuck with?

You're okay?

Yeah. Just go back to your phone call.

Hi. Sorry about that, where were we?

S09E08 Reckless Abandon

You know, that daughter of yours is a real cutie.

Those big blue eyes and dimples.

Yeah, trust me,

she knows how to use them to get what she wants.

It's a pretty sweet deal, having family around

to give you and your husband a helping hand.

Oh, yeah.

Actually, my husband and I separated...

not, uh, too long ago.

Oh, I'm sorry. I... I saw the ring.

Hey, it took me a while to take mine off too.

See, me and my ex, we were... separated about a year ago.

How 'bout you?

Like I said, it was... pretty recently.

Hmm.

It plays with your head, doesn't it?

Being single again.

I haven't even waded back into the dating pool yet.

Pfft! I can't even imagine that.

Well, I... I can imagine it.

I was just beginning to wonder if I'd ever...

find somebody who I actually wanted to ask out for coffee.

Uh... muffins! Uh...

Excuse me?

I just, I left some muffins in the-in the oven.

Oh, okay.

Yeah, so I'm just gonna get back to the house, but you're...

You're okay here?

- Yeah. No problem. - Okay.

Muffins?! Seriously?!

What is wrong with me?!

- How's it going up there? - Oh! Fine. Yup, good.

We're-we were just talking about... the loft.

What else would you be talking to the inspector about?

Exactly. Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

Okay. What's up with her?

You know Lou. Stuff like that really stresses her out.

I still can't believe how harsh Olivia's being on this guy.

No wonder he's having trouble jumping.

You know what? I think Olivia is putting just as much pressure on herself.

You know? There's a lot of expectations

when it comes to riding a high-performance jumping horse.

So you think Olivia's the problem?

Well, I've seen it before,

do remember the jouster?

You know, maybe Olivia's transmitting her nerves onto this guy,

so let's just let him chill out

and then we'll see how he does with a calm rider.

Ungh! Ungh!

Why aren't you using a proper wrench on that?

I've changed a regulator before,

I think I know what I'm doing.

It's a brass fitting, Tim, you're gonna scar it up...

Let me just finish this so we can get outta here

and Casey can stop ranting about her living conditions.

I wouldn't say she was ranting.

I understand her frustration.

You remember what it was like, always being on the road.

She has a way of dropping hints.

I looked it up. It's called passive-aggressive. I hate it.

What hints?

Hints. She's dropping them like bombs.

Jack, she's fishing... for an invitation.

To live with me, to move in.

- She never said that! - Not in so many words.

Then don't jump to conclusions.

I think I know her better than you do.

Just ask her.

There's no sense in both of you beating around a bush.

We had chocolate chips and whip cream!

- (Chuckles) Really? - C'mon! Let's go build a fort!

All right, I'll be right there.

Don't go bouncing on the bed...

or off the walls for that matter.

Sorry. That's a little bit of sugar.

Yeah.

Hey, um, I noticed that the very cute inspector's still here.

Cute? I hadn't noticed.
