Previously on heartland.
Georgie had an accident during her show,
And she's in the hospital. You're in charge.
[man] I feel for him.
He's being pulled in different directions.
It's two sides to him, wild and tame.
Well, you're battling between wild and tame, too.
I just know what it's like to be stuck between two worlds.
[lyndy] maybe he wants to dance, too.
I think he's going a little too fast for that.
Whoa, copper. Whoa. Whoa.
Whoa, it's okay. Good boy.
[thunder crashing]
Momma, momma, can I sleep with you?
Yes, of course, sweetheart. Come here.
It's okay.
There's nothing to be afraid of, all right?
[crying]
It's okay.
[shutter banging]
[storm raging outside]
[grunts]
[strained grunts]
Well, lou's worried about all the food in the freezer.
Oh, tell lou that I'm working as fast as I can.
Grandpa, this thing is ancient.
Are you sure it's even going to work?
Oh, she's gotten us through
More than one power outage over the years.
I'll have her up and running in no time, you wait.
Okay, well, I'm gonna go check the fences,
See if they held up in the storm.
Good girl.
Come on, honey.
[grunts]
Son of a gun!
Spartan, hey, no, no, no.
We have to stay on this fence line.
Hey, hey, hey, no.
-What's the matter, buddy? -[neighs]
What are you doing?
[sighs]
All right, we'll go your way.

[chugging]
Oh...
[motor starts]
[chuckles]
Well, it took some tinkering, but she's rolling now.
You okay?
It's copper.
Yeah, it looks like lightning hit that tree there
And horseshoes are an unfortunate conductor.
Poor copper.
Not the first horse we've lost,
But it never gets easier, does it?
You know, when I was up here earlier,
There was a herd a whole herd of horses standing vigil over him.
Now it's just harley.
They were good buddies, weren't they?
Copper's been here for so long,
I-- I just can't believe he's gone.
He had a good life, amy.
That's the important thing to remember.
I suppose we should let mallory know.
She used to love that horse more than anything.
When we get back to the ranch, I'll give her a call.
I was thinking, you know,
Maybe we could hold a little memorial or something.
[chuckles softly]
I think that's a terrific idea.
It's a good thing we flew in before the storm last night.
Yeah, although, I wouldn't have minded
Being stuck in florida for a few more days.
Nice to have the whole family together.
It was.
And georgie seemed good, right?
Yeah, she seemed great, back to her old self.
I just still can't get over the fact
That she was almost paralyzed or worse.
But she wasn't, right?
You heard what the doctor said.
If she had landed even two inches...
[both sigh]
-Listen, let's not go there. -I know.
Okay? Our daughter's fine.
She's happy. She's healthy.
Yes.
And that's all that matters, right?
I know. Thank you.
Hey, grandpa.
Hey.
There's, uh, something we need to talk about.
There you go.
Lyndy wanted to see you.
Hey. Did you hear about copper?
I think harley's pretty upset.
Maybe you could try to give him this apple.
Might make him feel better.
Here you go, harley.
He's just been standing by that gate
Waiting for copper to come back.
Poor guy.
Do you remember when mom first brought copper home?
I remember he was so skinny
That you could see every rib in his body.
And I remember that we didn't think he was going to make it,
But mom refused to give up.
I just feel like every time we lose a horse that mom saved,
We lose another piece of her.
I know. Come here.
Harley doesn't want the apple.
That's okay, sweetheart, we can try again later.
[sighs]
Katie.
Hey, sweetie, just grabbing your dirty laundry,
And now I'm off to bed.
-Goodnight. -Goodnight.
[whispers] peter.
Peter!
Are you awake?
Yeah, I am now.
I need to tell you something.
Can it wait 'til tomorrow, though, please?
Uh, okay, fine, I suppose.
Thank you.
[light clicks off]
[exhales loudly]
[click]
Peter, I need to tell you what I saw in katie's room
Or I am absolutely going to burst.
Why? What's wrong? What happened?
Okay, completely by accident,
I very unintentionally read a few lines of katie's journal.
What? Lou.
I know.
Why would you do that?
It just happened, okay, it was there, I glanced,
But now I know that katie has a crush on an older boy.
[scoffs]
Okay, first of all, I can't believe
You would invade our daughter's privacy like that.
Secondly, who is this boy? How old is he?
What's-- what's going on?
I only read the one sentence. I don't know.
What?
Great, I'm never gonna get to sleep now.
[chugging]
[electric zap, chugging stops]
[knocking]
[groans]
[sloshing]
Great!
All right, all right, I'm comin'.
Jack.
Mallory.
Oh, I am so happy to see you.
Oh.
I can't believe copper's gone.
I know. Sad news.
Jake.
Hey, jack.
I drove all night. Did we miss the memorial?
No, no. You're here in plenty of time.
Come in, come in.
You two must be exhausted.
Oh, yeah.
♪
Katie, you're so tall, and lyndy, you are so grown up,
I barely recognized you.
I'm going to grade one.
Grade one? How's that even possible?
Hey, katie, do you mind helping her get dressed?
Yeah, sure. Go get your clothes on.
Come on, get up.
So, catch us up on your lives.
What have you guys been up to?
We travelled in the motor home
'til it finally kicked the bucket.
And, uh, we ended up in colorado just outside of walden.
It's a really beautiful spot.
Wow.
And jake has a great job as a ranch foreman,
And I'm taking online business classes
And working at the restaurant part-time.
Oh, and we just bought a piece of land
That we can't wait to settle down on.
-Right, jake? -Yep.
Well, sounds like you guys are doing really well.
-Yeah. -We are.
Okay, how'd it go with the generator?
Uh, not too great.
Oh, I just need to get a few parts in town is all.
Yeah, or, you know, you could buy a new one.
Have you met jack? That's never going to happen.
"no use in throwing something out just because it's old."
You see, mallory gets me.
Yeah, okay, but if you don't figure out the generator
Before dinner, I'm gonna have to figure out
How to barbecue a roast.
Oops.
I'm so happy to be here.
The last time we were here was...
For ty's funeral.
Next time we visit, it will be
For happier reasons, I promise.
Why don't I get you two settled in the barn loft?
Dad and his wife are out of town so it's all yours.
Tim is married?
Why weren't we at the wedding?
It's a long story.
I'll tell you on the way.
Come on.
Okay.
Oh, yeah, sorry for the mess up here.
It's, uh-- they just delivered all of this yesterday.
What is it?
Jessica's a photographer.
She just had a big show in new york,
So I guess they sent back what didn't sell.
Wow.
I've never seen tim look so in love.
Yeah, he's in a really good place these days.
You guys have a couple hours to rest and freshen up
Before the memorial, so make yourself at home.
Thanks, lou.
Yeah, thank you.
So, why'd you lie to everyone?
I didn't mean to, it just sort of slipped out, okay?
I'm sorry.
I'm gonna take a nap.
Okay.

♪
Do you think that this older boy
Is the reason that katie's been so distant lately?
I don't know. Maybe. Why?
Why, is that what you think?
I don't know. It-- what should we do?
I don't know.
I think we should just ask her, right?
I mean, we're her parents, that's our right.
We could just ask her who this boy is.
What, no, peter, we can't do that because then she's gonna
Know we read her journal so that's not an option.
I'm sorry, "we"?
That "we read her journal". Don't--
-Hey, sweetie. -Hey, honey.
You ready to go?
Yep.
Hey, um, you know, you can talk to us
About anything at all, right?
If anything's on your mind, you can just...
This about copper?
Um--
Look, it's sad and everything but I'm gonna be okay.
I'm not a little kid anymore.
That's great.
My daughter rescued copper
From-- from a farm that had fallen on hard times.
And-- and even though he'd had a bit of a rough upbringing,
Copper was always a kind, gentle horse.
And for the longest time,
He found a great friend in mallory.
Would you like to say a few words?
Sure, I'd love to.
Some of the best years of my life
Were spent here riding copper.
Sometimes I wish I could go back
To when things were less complicated.
When I was just a horse-crazy little kid
Before I had to grow up.
[sighs]
When I think back to when I was happiest,
It was here,
With copper,
With all of you.
Goodbye, old friend.
[thunder rumbling]
You know, jack,
You're the only person I've ever met
With a sentimental attachment to a broken-down generator.
I thought you were on my side.
I am,
But some things are too broken to be fixed.
Oh, I don't believe that.
You can fix almost anything if you don't give up on it.
I noticed that lisa isn't here.
Is everything okay between you two?
Everything's fine.
I wish she didn't have to travel so much,
But that's just the way it is.
Can't be easy.
It's not, but her job's on the road.
My job is here, so we make it work best we can.
At least that's what I think marriage is sometimes,
Working at making it work.
Easier said than done.
Yes, it is.
Okay.
Let's give this old girl another try.
Watch yourself.
[cord rasps]
[chugging]
Come on, now.
Yeah.
Don't get me wrong, I love a big country dinner,
But stewed chicken and roast beef seems like a lot.
I know.
Most of the stuff in the freezer defrosted
And I don't want it to go to waste.
Tomorrow we're having pork loin and salmon,
So I hope you brought your appetite.
You're not vegetarian now, are you?
No, don't worry, I'm still a meat-and-potatoes kinda gal.
Briefly, I did go through a pescatarian phase
When I was a teenager, but that didn't last.
Teenage phases never do.
You, um, you never had a crush on an older boy
When you were a teenager, did you?
Uh, hello.
I was obsessed with ty for years.
Of course, I forgot.
And I had a big crush on this guy, jeremy.
I was powerless to his brooding eyes and sculptured cheekbones.
But, of course, it turned out
He killed his horse for the insurance money and framed ty.
Boy, I picked the wrong guy.
I was not a smart teenager.
Mallory, I wish you hadn't told me that.
Why, what's wrong?
I think katie has a crush on an older boy.
And now I'm scared he's a psycho horse killer.
Did she tell you who he is?
No.
Well, in that case, I'll have a chat with her tomorrow
And get to the bottom of it.
I don't think that's a good idea.
Lou, I babysat katie.
I'm practically her slightly older sister.
We have a rapport.
Look, it's a delicate situation, okay?
I kind of read about it in her journal.
Not on purpose.
It just happened and I really don't want her to find out.
I'll be discreet.
No, I-- just don't bring it up.
Lou, trust.
Mallory.
I got this. Don't worry.
Come on, harley, let's go. [sighs]
I know, buddy.
[truck stops]
[truck door slams]
-Hey. -Hi.
He's looking a little rough.
Yeah, um, we lost a horse in the storm.
It was harley's companion.
I'm sorry to hear that.
Boy, I have bad timing.
Why?
I need to tell you something.
I'm, uh, I'm going back to kindersley.
For how long?
A while.
I thought I could make the move here,
But I have to get back to my family.
Is everything okay?
They just--
They need me to step up.
And after I just got you the job at the centre,
Not to mention all your other clients.
They'll be fine without me.
I can't believe you're doing this again.
I wish things were different, I really do.
When do you go?
Tomorrow.
I should get harley in the barn.
Amy, wait.
Don't be mad.
I'm not mad at you. Finn.
I just don't un-- I don't understand.
I thought that we were friends.
Amy, we are.
If that were true,
Then you wouldn't leave with no explanation.
But please don't let me stop you.
If you need to go, just go.
[emotional music]
That's the guy from the photo.
What photo?
The photo in the loft. Who is he?
Finn carter.
What's going on between you two?
Nothing.
Clearly, that's not true.
I heard the tail end of that conversation,
It got pretty heated.
Nothing's going on, okay, mallory.
And even if there was, it doesn't matter,
Because he's leaving for kendersley tomorrow, so...
Why's he moving?
I don't know. Okay?
He hardly ever tells me anything about his life.
He's pretty vague, so I don't know.
I'm really good at finding stuff out.
I can look into it if you want.
Please don't.
You should at least look at the photo, though.
There's definitely sparks.
Everybody have seconds and thirds.
I don't want any of this food to go to waste.
I am so stuffed.
[lyndy] me, too.
Can I be excused?
Yeah, sure, sweetheart.
Come on, lyndy, I'll read you a story.
Mallory, that's my stew and you haven't even touched it.
I was saving the best for last.
Yummy.
That's it?
I'm used to heartier praise.
It's really great.
I just, I think I'm full.
Um, jake, tell us what it's like being a ranch foreman.
It must be a lot of responsibility.
Uh, yeah, it is.
What's the name of that ranch?
I know some folks down that way.
It's, uh, well...
Jake got laid off.
I lied about that earlier.
Sorry, I didn't mean to. Just kind of slipped out.
Well, there's no shame in being laid off.
No, absolutely not. I'm-- I've been through it.
Yeah, and plus, you guys still have that piece of land.
I mean, you could start your own cattle business.
I lied about that, too.
The land is actually inheritance from jake's uncle.
We can't afford to really do anything with it.
And the property taxes are killing us,
So we put it up for sale,
And we got an offer right before we left.
An offer we should accept.
No, jake, we can't. It's our home.
Oh.
I, uh, guess dinner's over.
Come on, harley, please.
You got to eat something, bud.
I miss copper, too.
[sighs]
Hmm. I remember that. Ttouch, right?
Yeah.
Helps restore emotional balance.
I like watching you work, reminds me of old times.
I'm glad some things don't change.
Look, I know you asked me not to get involved
In the whole finn thing, but--
Mallory.
...I couldn't help do a little google search.
Just let it go, okay?
You won't believe what I found.
[scoffs] I know what you're doing.
You're sticking your nose into everyone else's business
So that you can forget
About what's happening with you and jake.
That's not true at all.
Maybe jake and I are going through
A little rough patch, but this isn't about me.
I'm more worried about you.
Yeah, well, I can take care of myself.
[sighs] finn is lying to you.
About what?
He doesn't have family in kindersley.
It just took a few social media clicks to figure that out.
I'm surprised you haven't done the same.
But there's more.
I found an article about him.
It's a few years old, but it explains
Why he's been so evasive about his past.
Mallory, just stop.
All right? I asked you not to do this.
Fine, but I'm going to send you the link to the article.
Ignore it if you want, but you really shouldn't.
[emotional music]
[gentle music]
Is harley still sad?
A little. But he loves being ridden, especially by you.
So, I think by the end of this ride,
He'll be a whole lot happier.
Are you sad too, mommy?
Yeah, I miss copper,
And my friend finn is moving away,
So that kind of makes me sad.
Maybe you could go visit him.
Yeah, maybe I could.
[mallory] hey, girlfriend.
Hey.
Is it just me or are there a lot of stairs to get here?
Let me help you.
I need to sit.
Okay, um, you want a glass of water or something?
I'll be good.
I just need a second to catch my breath.
Oh, hey.
Cool room, by the way.
Thanks.
So, do you remember when I used to babysit you?
No, not really.
We had so much fun together.
You know, you really used to look up to me.
I was pretty much your mentor.
Cool.
So, give me the deets.
What's going on in your life?
Who are you dating?
No one.
Really? Not even a crush?
Because when I was your age, I had the biggest crush...
Excuse me a second.
[hurried footsteps]
Uh, yeah, I will send over the revised budget in the morning.
Yes. Mm-hmm.
No, the schedule looks good.
I have a few questions about the union meetings,
But we can go over that tomorrow.
Okay. Yeah.
Thanks, rick, bye.
You're on your own with the whole katie situation.
I tried to get some info out of her
But I must be off my game.
Mallory, you don't look so good.
Yeah, it's weird, I never get sick.
Everything tasted weird last night.
I dunno what's going on.
Well, I hate to point out the obvious,
But you might be pregnant.
That's not possible.
Well, you probably want to take a test just to be safe.
[computer keys clack]
[melodic guitar music]
[paper rustles]
[indistinct chatter]
Um, do you two have a sec?
-Yeah. -Or is this a bad time?
No, no, this is a great time.
Yeah, absolutely. What's up, sweetheart?
Okay, well, there's something that's been on my mind,
But I've been afraid to bring it up.
Honey, you don't have to be afraid
To talk to us about anything.
Yeah, absolutely.
Just, whatever's on your mind, we're here to listen.
And we are-- we're just going to listen,
And-- and we're not gonna judge or-- or get upset.
Okay.
Well, I've been thinking about this
For a while and I want to get my ears pierced.
Oh.
Wow.
Uh, okay, um, that's...
Uh, yeah, lou, what do you think?
I-- I think I was about your age
When I got mine pierced, so why not?
Really?
Yeah, we'll go sometime next week.
It'll be fun.
Thank you. Thank you.
And-- and, you know, if there's ever anything else
You want to talk about, we're here.
And, um, it's just you're at that age
Where you might start having feelings for boys or-- or girls,
And you might even end up having a crush on someone.
It's funny, mallory was just in my room
Talking about the same thing.
Really? That's weird.
You read my journal?
No, I didn't read it. I glanced at it, I swear.
I knew you were acting weird
When you were in my room the other night.
Honey, I read one sentence, I promise.
I will never forgive you for this, mom.
Wait, katie.
[solemn music]
[sighs]
[truck stops]
[truck door opens and shuts]
I, uh, spoke to another farrier about taking over at the centre.
He's good. His prices are reasonable.
Here's his card.
I guess that's the least you can do.
Look, you have every right to be upset with me,
I know I'm letting you down.
I just don't understand why you can't tell me what's going on.
Look, it's because it's just--
It's-- it's complicated.
I read the article about that night.
Just because you read the article
Doesn't mean you know everything about me.
Maybe not, but I know some things.
You don't have family in kindersley,
And that you were in a car accident two years ago
And your friend died.
And when we met, I opened up about losing my husband
And I-- I could sense that you understood that kind of loss.
But you never once mentioned your friend.
Why?
I-- I'm not one of your broken horses.
I don't need you to fix me.
Mallory? Mallory?
Hey, I got your text.
Is everything okay?
So, it turns out you were right.
I am pregnant.
[dramatic music]
[amy] knock, knock.
Okay, so they had, uh, salted caramel toffee
And toasted s'mores.
They were all out of the regular flavours.
I got this.
I'll take a scoop of each.
Yeah, me, too.
So, um, why the sudden craving for ice cream?
I just figured the three of us haven't had the chance
To hang out, yet.
I miss you guys.
I miss you, too.
I do.
And I am sorry about what I said earlier.
Don't be. You were right.
I was trying to solve everybody else's problems
So I could avoid my own.
Mallory, you don't have to paint a rosy picture of your life.
Nobody here is judging you.
I know, but I'm kind of judging myself.
I'm a waitress at a diner.
That's what I was doing when I was a teenager.
I had to quit business school
So I could take on more shifts because jake got laid off.
We fight all the time about money.
Oh, and...
I'm pregnant, so there's that, too.
Are you serious?
Mallory!
That's amazing.
Thank you.
But jake and I are not in the best place.
There literally could not be a worse time to have a baby.
No, I got you beat for bad timing.
Okay, when I was pregnant, peter was in dubai, I was here.
Our marriage was already on life support.
I mean, trust me, things never work out the way you plan.
Yeah, I can confirm that 100%.
Oh, amy, I'm sorry.
I-- I feel so silly freaking out about this
When you have been through so much worse.
No, I-- I'm not going to lie, it hasn't been easy,
But lindy has been the bright light through all of this.
Have you told jake yet?
No.
I think that that might be a good place to start.
Mm.
This is good.
[lou] it's really good.
We really don't need this new generator.
I'll fix the old one eventually. But lou insisted.
So, that was, uh,
Quite the dinner last night.
Yeah. Dinner and a show.
[laughs] you know, jake,
I've been exactly where you are.
When lyndy and I got married,
We didn't have two pennies to rub together.
And we had some hard years,
But I never lost sight of what I wanted,
Which was to make a life right here
With the woman I love.
And I fought for it every day.
So, you gotta ask yourself, jake, what do you want?
Mallory.
She's all I've ever wanted.
Well, you already married her,
So that's a pretty good start.
Now you just got to figure out what comes next.
All right, let's see if we can get
This fancy new generator running.
[light zaps on]
Knock, knock.
Um...
Hey, can we talk to you for a second, sweetheart?
Look, I messed up, katie, I--
You deserve your privacy,
And I promise I'm gonna try harder
To respect it from now on.
Yeah, and we totally overreacted
About the whole older boy thing, I...
I know the difference between a crush and the real thing.
Then you're a lot smarter than I was at your age.
Do you trust me?
Yeah. Yeah, we trust you.
Look, we know you're a good kid.
We just want you to be in such a big rush to grow up.
Is it the new busboy at maggie's?
Dad.
Is it-- is it the kid
At the deli counter?
[lou] peter.
With the glasses? Is it---
We love you, we're going now.
He always gives her extra samples.
I know, yeah, we gotta go.
[sighs]
[emotional music]
I wanted to say one last goodbye.
Losing copper feels like the end of an era.
I'm really not a kid anymore.
There's no going back.
We should take that offer on the land.
It's the smart grown-up thing to do.
I, uh, already turned down the offer.
You did?
Yeah, jack, he put in a good word for me
At his friend's ranch,
And they're gonna hire me on as a foreman.
You can go back to business school.
Oh, that's such great news!
I, um-- I have some news of my own.
Um, in eight months, give or take,
There's gonna be three of us.
Really?
Yeah.
Okay, okay, careful I will throw up.
[birds twittering]
You drink too much coffee, jack.
Oh, I know.
I still remember the grand speech
You gave me about it when you were 12.
I was such an annoying kid.
Nah.
Nah, you were a breath of fresh air,
And you still are.
So, um,
Next time I come to visit,
I'll have someone for you to meet.
Hopefully, you'll think
They're a breath of fresh air, too.
Are you saying what I think you're saying?
Yeah.
[both chuckle]
Well, isn't that somethin'?
Our little mallory's gonna have a little one of her own.
And now I feel really old.
Yeah.
I hate long goodbyes.
So, jake and I are just going to slip out.
But thank you for everything, jack.
You bet.
And thank you for bringing me home.
Don't be a stranger.
I promise I won't.
Here you go. That's it.
Feeling better?
[car door shuts]
Good boy.
I thought you'd be halfway to kendersley by now.
It's, uh--
It's hard for me to talk about what happened.
Yeah, I get that.
Like, I-- I don't even know where I'd start.
Well, the article said your friend's name was jay.
Why don't you tell me about him?
Jay was-- he was always the life of the party.
We were opposites, but we clicked.
He sounds like a great guy.
The best.
And the night of the accident?
We were at a bar.
Uh, I didn't drink, but jay did.
I, uh-- I took his keys and-- and I drove him home.
It was the last thing I remember.
The article said that you were cleared of any wrongdoing.
I was driving the car.
I should have got my friend home safe.
I'm sorry.
Jay's, uh-- jay's dad got sick last year
And he needed some help around the farm.
So, that's why you went back there?
Then he got better, I came back.
But he's having another operation,
And I--
You need to be there.
Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
I understand now.
Thank you for telling me the truth.
Mm-hmm.
I'm gonna miss you.
I'll miss you, too.
Can... You should go.
Yeah. Goodbye, amy.

So, was that finn carter's truck
I saw driving out of here?
Yeah, he, um--
He's moving back to kendersley.
He just came to say goodbye.
Well, that didn't take long, did it?
Figures.
He has his reasons.
-Ready. -Hey.
Ready to go, mommy.
You know what, sweetheart?
Change of plans,
We're not going to take harley on a trail ride.
We're not?
No, we're going to do something
That harley loves even more, because thanks to you,
He's not as upset, and he's even eating again.
He's not sad anymore?
No, no.
And I know something that will really cheer him up.
What is it, mommy?
I'm gonna show you.
