[phone line ringing]
- Hey, cowboy. - Hey!
I'm just about to feed your chickens.
They eat better than we do, you know that?
Which is why my eggs are the best in the county.
Thanks for taking care of them for me.
Yeah, it's my pleasure,
as long as the little dinosaurs don't bite me.
So, how are things out there?
Great. [chuckles]
Another beautiful day in New York.
Good. And how's Erin?
She's good.
I'm dropping her off later at James' baby shower.
Well, that's good for her.
Spend a little time with her dad.
Yeah.
How are things there?
Ah, another beautiful day in Big Sky, Montana.
There is one gray cloud looming over everything, though.
Oh, no!
Tara Kendall isn't here... and I do miss her.
I miss you too, Boone, so much.
Only two more sleeps.
I'll be here waiting.
All right, I'm gonna enter the fray. Wish me luck.
[laughs] I told you,
they don't really bite.
Yeah, tell that to my ankles.
Okay, bye.
[laughs] Bye.
[***]
[laughing]
Oh, come on!
You had a great time at Christmas.
Not going crazy
isn't the same thing as having a great time, Mom.
Your dad loves you, Erin.
He does!
And it's important that you spend
as much time as you can with him.
I know.
Come here. [chuckling]
Mm.
Have a wonderful party.
Thanks.
[sighs]
[***]
[indistinct chatter]
Erin! You made it!
Hi, Bethany.
Hi! I'm so glad you're here.
Hey, hey! Look what the cat dragged in.
- Hi, Dad. - Hi, honey.
Uh, come on, we're about to get started.
We'll get you settled in later, okay?
- Okay. - Let's get the show on the road.
For the baby.
That's so thoughtful. Thank you.
[loudly] Uh, okay, everyone,
I just wanted to thank you all for coming.
It means so much to Bethany and to me.
To become a parent--
to bring new life in this world
is-is such a blessing, it's such a-a gift.
Most of you, including James,
have already experienced this miracle.
I'm so excited to be joining your ranks,
and if the doctors are right...
We're always right.
[laughs]
I'll be delivering this little miracle
in six weeks and three days,
but who's counting?
[all chuckling]
All right, should we get to it? To the matter at hand?
All right. Drum roll, please!
Would you like to do the honors?
["drums" rolling]
- [popping] - Whoa!
[laughter and applause]
What?
[laughs] Come on!
You didn't think we'd make it easy for ya, did ya?
All right, all right, all right. For real this time. For real.
- Ready? - Oh, yeah.
[popping]
- [Erin gasps] - [guests applaud]
The son I've always wanted.
[***]
Hey.
Hey, you!
- So? - "So?"
The gender reveal?
Oh. Yeah, they're having a boy.
A baby brother? That's fantastic.
Did your dad make a big production out of it?
Yeah... huge.
They must be so excited.
Pretty psyched.
So, how was yesterday?
It was great.
Bethany invited some of my girlfriends,
and we went for brunch, and then had a spa day.
That does sound pretty great.
Yeah, Bethany's cool.
Let's grab this cab.
[***]
JFK.
[***]
Tara! Erin!
Well, hello there!
- Hey, guys! - Hi!
Dawson's on his way with pizza.
Let's go. We gotta get ready!
Whoa.
Welcome back.
Oh, it's so good to be home.
How was your flight?
Blessedly uneventful.
- For you. - [gasps]
[Boone chuckles]
- And just so you know-- - Mm-hmm?
...The pizza's not for us.
- Oh? - Mm-mm.
No, I have other dinner plans for us.
Oh, do you?
Mm-hmm.
[exhales]
[country song begins playing in distance]
* I miss your fingers caressing *
* The back of my head *
* I miss that extra blanket you'd always bring to bed *
* I miss watching you getting ready to go out *
* And I miss feeling like there was never any doubt... *
[chuckles]
Sorry. I didn't have a...
- [turns speaker off] - ...boom box!
What in the name of St. Peter's Gate?
Well, I just figured...
why work over Zoom
when we could just work face-to-face?
[chuckles]
How'd you get through the security gate?
Uh, you use your birthday for all your passcodes,
so yeah, you might wanna rethink that.
Right.
Where are you staying?
Um, I was gonna stay...
in town.
You know I have a guest wing, right?
Yeah, it looks like you have room for guests, yeah.
Uh...
just...
so you know, uh...
me and Deanna are divorced now,
so...
So I heard.
[Peter chuckles]
Peter Alan Crowe, you--
"...You beautiful sight for sore eyes"?
[chuckling]
[***]
[Boone] Sorry you had to make do
with cheese and sourdough.
[Tara] I am devastated.
[Boone laughs]
[Tara laughs along]
You know, the boys missed you.
Did they, now?
Oh, yeah. Somethin' fierce.
But, uh...
not nearly as much as I did.
Ditto.
Mm.
So, how was New York? Fun?
Yeah, wonderful.
Not too wonderful, I hope?
No regrets?
"Regrets"?
Well, you know...
about staying here with me.
Oh. No, not a single one.
Good.
'Cause I've gotten kinda used to seeing your mug every day.
Mm, me too.
A habit I have no intention of breaking.
I-- [words catch]
Ee, no.
- What? - No, no.
I was gonna say something but it's just--
it's too cheesy.
Okay, now, now you have to tell me.
Okay, fine, I will.
Waking up every day, knowing I get to be with you,
is pretty much my definition for a reason to live.
I told ya.
Cheesy?
Okay.
[laughing]
It was!
Well, let's keep doing that, then.
You'd be okay with that?
Yes, I would... Sheriff Taylor.
Mm.
[***]
[Tara] "Peter Alan Crowe"?
Should I know him?
Yeah, the one about "The One Who Got Away",
"Dancin' Rings Around My Heart..."
"Ask Me In"?
[sighs] I know your hits, Casey.
I wrote all those songs with Peter.
I didn't know you had a songwriting partner.
Well, most of the time, I don't,
but two albums ago, I did,
and five of those tracks went top 10.
All written with Peter?
And he produced the record. I mean, don't get me wrong--
I had plenty of hits before him, and plenty after,
but together?
You make beautiful music.
Oh, the man's got a magic touch.
I've been waiting for him to be free
so we could work together again.
And now he is.
In more ways than one.
Go on.
There was a real chemistry between us
when we made that record.
I was mighty tempted to...
blur the lines
between the professional and the personal.
But you didn't?
He was married at the time.
Not happily-- everyone knew that,
so I didn't even step up to that line--
but it was in the air.
I'm guessing the marriage is over?
And now he's staying in the guest wing
while we write my next record.
For how long?
As long as it takes.
Any of that chemistry left?
Oh, yeah.
[sighing] A trainload.
You got a picture?
Wow... he's cute!
I know.
What am I gonna do?
[laughs] Casey,
I'm the one who comes to you for relationship advice.
You don't need it anymore!
You're all squared away.
Mm, is that what Boone and I are?
"Squared away"?
Go on.
He makes me so happy, but...
Is he ever gonna pop the question?
I guess I'm just an old-fashioned girl.
I want my man to propose.
Well, so does everyone else in this town.
And we all say the same thing--
"He darn well better."
[***]
You're back!
We are back.
Uh, Tara, Erin, I want to introduce you to Mateo--
he's an exchange student from Madrid.
Oh, nice to meet you, Mateo.
Nice to meet you both.
Hey, guys!
They met while you were away.
We could show you to your class.
Okay. Hey. Really nice to meet you.
You too.
What's up?
[girls giggling]
Okay, yeah. I figured he'd get some hearts racing--
new kid in town.
Is he only here till the end of the semester?
Yeah, and then he'll help out on the ranch through the summer.
It's a study-work program.
Well, it's nice of you and Hutch to host him.
Yeah, we do it every once in a while,
and after a couple months,
we remember why we didn't have children of our own...
on purpose.
[school bell ringing]
[sighs]
Mateo was a surprise.
Yeah, he's pretty cool.
I guess.
Do you wanna hang out after school?
We haven't caught up in a while.
Yeah, sure.
Um, I wanted to hear all about New York anyways.
Awesome. I'll text you.
[***]
Hey.
Hey!
Chickens thirsty again?
Always.
So... how was your day?
First day's always a bit of a transition, so.
Oh, whoa, hey, hey. I got that.
Such a gentleman!
Oh, you know it.
[chuckles]
So, how about you?
Catch any bad guys?
Nope. Not a single one,
which means I'm either really good at my job,
or really bad.
Now, I wanted to ask you.
Do you remember how to fish?
It hasn't been that long.
It feels like forever.
Anyway, I was thinking maybe this weekend.
Yeah, sign me up.
Good! It's a date.
I think maybe I'm gonna... leave the chickens to you.
What, you're still scared of a few chicken bites?
If one gets away, then I've gotta rescue it.
It's a big production, you know?
I loved it when you did that.
My knight in shining armor.
Oh, yeah?
Hmm! Yeah, I was pretty brave that day, wasn't I?
Should I let another one loose?
Maybe one day of bravery's enough.
Scaredy-cat!
[chuckles]
That is "Sheriff Scaredy-Cat" to you.
[smooch]
Mm.
[smooch] All right.
Have fun!
[***]
Well, I guess that's pretty common, right?
Guys wanna have sons?
Do you wanna have sons?
[laughs] Oh, I haven't really thought about that yet.
Dad's never been interested in me
or anything I do.
I mean, that's why I live here.
Well, if that's the reason, then maybe it's not so bad.
You don't want me to be happy?
No! No, sorry. I didn't mean it like that.
It's just that...
you know, I like you being here.
You're like my...
best friend.
You too.
[chuckles] Cool.
[guitar strumming]
[***]
[she begins humming]
[he stops]
Why'd you stop?
[resumes picking] * All I need *
* Is you *
* Don't need glitter or gold *
* Ain't nothing can be sold *
* That'll make me feel like you do *
* And those bright city lights *
* Can shine for someone else tonight *
* 'Cause all I need is you *
* Oh *
[together] * All I need is you *
I believe we got something, Ms. Elfman.
I believe we do, Mr. Crowe.
S-So... ahem.
Under the new rules of romantic engagement,
I believe
I'm supposed to ask if it's okay first
before I kiss the lady?
Yes, you are.
Would it be...
okay?
I'll have to get back to you on that.
[chuckling]
All right.
[chuckling]
All right.
We-We need to get back to this before we lose it.
Yeah. Yeah.
Whew! Run those lyrics by me again.
All right. Ahem.
[***]
[Tara sighs contentedly]
I think this is gonna be
one of those "fishing is meditation" days.
Oh, I do hope so.
Mm.
Thirsty?
Yeah.
Yeah, that'd be great. Please.
- Here. - Got it.
- Yup? - Yup.
[abruptly] Oh, um...
I think I got some sandwiches in there, too.
Okay.
Uh, you might have to root around at the bottom there.
[Tara] All right.
[Boone] Whoa! Whoa!
Ooh! I got something. I got a live one here!
- Oh. - I got something.
[Boone] Whoa!
[Tara] What is that?
[Boone] I... have no idea.
What is it?
- [Tara] I don't know. - [splashing]
[plop]
What the--?
[***]
Tara...
...I love you.
I want to spend the rest of my life with you.
Will you marry me?
[blurts] Yes! Yes, yes, yes.
Yes, I'll marry you.
You had me worried there!
I thought I was gonna have to wait forever.
Well, and I thought I was rushing things!
Thought maybe you were getting cold feet or something.
Oh, Boone, I haven't had cold feet in quite some time.
Ah, look at that.
It's my mother's.
I mean, the stone is my mother's.
I wanted to get the perfect band for it,
but the-the shop in Denver was backed up.
That's why it took so long.
It's beautiful.
Yeah...
but not nearly as beautiful as the woman wearing it.
The fact that you want me to wear your mother's diamond...
it means the world to me.
Well, I hope it means as much to you
as it does to me.
It is gorgeous...
just like you.
[sighing] Ah...
this is quite the romantic setting--
- Mm-hmm. - ...Sheriff Taylor.
Well, thank you.
I chose it because...
this is where I first wanted to kiss you,
and...
knew that you wanted me to.
[Tara] Oh, Boone.
Erin? You home?
[Erin] In here!
[exhales anxiously] Okay.
[Boone] Guys, there's something I wanna talk to you guys about.
Tara and I have some...
very important news.
Okay.
We're gonna get married.
Like when you and Mom were married?
Yes, exactly like that.
So, she'll be like our mom?
And Erin would be--
...Our sister?
Well, y-yeah, essentially.
I mean, it's complicated, but, um...
yeah.
So, what do you guys think?
Engaged?
Uh-huh.
When?
He just asked me.
And you said yes?
I did.
Wow.
He's a good man, Erin.
And I really do love him.
Oh, Mom...
I know.
And he loves you, too.
So much.
I'm really happy for you.
I really like Tara, Dad. And Erin.
Good. I'm glad.
So do I.
But married?
Yeah.
Yeah, it'd be bit of a change, I know.
Does Erin know?
Yeah, Tara-- Tara's telling her right now, as a matter of fact.
Cool.
It is cool, right?
- Yeah. - Yeah.
Hey.
You good?
[***]
[chuckling warmly]
[Kendra] Well, hallelujah!
[laughing]
Aw...
about time he stepped up to the plate.
Boy, did he.
Oh!
Well, congratulations to Boone Taylor for making
one of the two best decisions of his life,
and good on you for saying yes.
Aw, it was an easy call to make.
Mm... now let's see that ring.
Oh, it is picture-perfect on your hand.
It sure is.
Mm. [gasps] You know what?
I'm gonna bring you my old wedding binder.
Yes, it's old,
but it is filled with classic flower ideas,
and cakes, and...
you name it.
Wow, thank you.
Yeah. Have you set a date?
Uh, honestly...
we haven't really given it much thought.
I mean, um, we've both been super-busy.
Uh, well, even if you're trying to keep things simple,
there's still a million things that you need to plan.
Oh, my first wedding? What a production!
And all for the benefit of James and his family and friends.
Our wedding was a big to-do, also.
At least yours lasted.
Yeah, you don't need a big wedding to make it last--
you just need the right guy.
And gal.
That is correct.
Yeah, Hutch is doing okay.
- Mm-hmm! - [both laughing]
This being your second round...
you a little bit scared?
A little.
But you know?
I've got-- I've got the right guy this time.
You do.
You really do.
[both giggling]
[Tara] Well, since we're gonna be a blended family,
we should do this as often as we can.
Yeah? You wanna cook dinner for us every night?
Sure!
Not what I was saying.
I know. I was just joking.
The kids seem to get along okay.
I guess we can see if they can keep it up
when they're always on top of each other.
Yeah, we're lucky they get along so well.
"Lucky".
That is the word that I would use
to describe all of this.
Who wants more popcorn?
[Fletcher] I do!
[phone rings]
- [beep] - Hello?
Hey, Tara.
It's Erin.
Oh... hi, sweetheart.
Sorry, I-I thought I called Tara's phone.
You did.
So, how are you?
I'll go get her for you.
Oh, no, that's--
[sighs]
...Really fun.
Yeah.
Oh, someone's coming.
It's Dad.
My old dad.
James, hi.
Hey, how are ya?
Well... I have some news.
Boone and I got engaged.
Really?
Um... [chuckles]
Wow, that's...
I'm happy for you.
Thanks. How's Bethany?
She's-- She's doing good.
Please give her my best.
I will.
Uh, look, I hate to drag you into this,
but Erin's not talking to me.
She won't answer my texts, she won't return my phone calls.
Weren't you talking to her just now?
Is she mad at me about something?
Not that I know of.
Could you find out?
[sighs] You should really talk to her about it.
How can I? She literally will not talk to me.
Okay, I'll-- I'll check in with her.
Thank you.
- Sure. - Oh, and hey...
congrats again on your big news.
Thanks.
[sighs]
Everything okay?
Yeah, just, um...
father-teenage daughter stuff.
I can relate.
You don't have a teenage daughter.
But... I will soon enough.
[quietly] And quite frankly, it terrifies me.
Smart man.
Yeah.
[***]
[indistinct chatter over background music]
Casey, you did not have to throw us a party.
Oh, yes she did.
Oh, she can't help herself.
It's true. I can't help myself.
[all chuckling]
Oh... look who's here.
Oh, good-lookin' guy.
Ah, a friend of yours, Case?
He's staying at her place.
[gasping] What?
We're writin' an album together.
Collection of love songs, is it?
One or two.
[gasps]
Oh, it is showtime, ladies.
Now, I better see you dancin' out here.
- Yeah. - Hey.
- Whoo! - [applause builds]
[cheering and applauding]
Howdy, Parable!
[crowd] Howdy!
Welcome to the Tara and Boone "Makin' It Real" Celebration!
Now, let's get this party started!
[cheering and applauding]
[band starts to play]
[***]
* My friends Say that I'm crazy *
* They'll never understand *
* Their boys Will drop 'em at midnight *
* But you're here holding my hand *
* Talking for hours there in the drive *
* When I close my eyes *
* I'm still sitting right next to you *
[together] * They don't See you like I do *
* You're painting my sky blue *
* Sun shining brighter when you come around *
* Got that tough kinda silent The rough in the diamond *
* The way that you shine out from the rest of the crowd *
* They don't see you like I do, I do, I do *
* They don't see you like I do I do, I do *
* They don't see you like I do, I do, I do *
* They don't see you like I do I do, I do *
[Boone] It's delicious. Thank you.
- There you go. - Well, I don't like beets.
- Oh-- - Hey!
[sighs] I don't care for beets.
That's better.
Right. I gotta remember that.
And you... didn't get any ribs.
I don't eat beef.
Well, then you're in luck then, because these are pork ribs.
I don't eat pork either.
- Wait! Since when? - Okay.
[Erin] Mateo's vegetarian.
I mean, he eats fish,
but he's been telling me how horrible factory farming is.
But these are ribs from one of the Barlows' pigs.
Um, I'll take some salad, if you don't mind.
- Here you go. - Thank you.
Oh, yeah, and I almost forgot, um...
tomorrow, I've got a budget meeting,
so I might be a little bit late.
Okay, so who's where, when?
Uh, I have baseball till five.
I have dance.
Just homework,
unless the teacher doesn't give us any!
- Yeah. - Yeah, dream on, buddy!
Dream on. Okay.
We all meet after school at the SUV.
I'll drop Griffin at the rec center,
Erin at dance class,
and Fletcher, you'll come with me.
If I'm done before five, I can get Griff from baseball.
And me. Dance is right around the corner.
Of course, because dance is right around the corner.
[Tara] And if not, then I'll circle back and get 'em.
There we go. Think we got a plan.
For tomorrow.
- Sorry! - [clattering]
Griffin!
Oh, you're such a klutz!
Sorry.
Hey, pal, it's okay. It's okay.
Just leave it. We'll clean it up later.
Just eat your dinner.
That was fun last night, singing with you at the saloon.
Yeah, you looked like you were enjoying yourself.
You should step up more often.
Nah.
No, I'd just start to like it.
I wouldn't want to steal thunder from all you stage-hogs.
Oh, is that what I am? A stage-hog?
[chuckling] Yeah.
World-class.
Yeah, since I was seven,
and the pastor asked me to lead the congregation in song.
[chuckles]
Amazing how many singers I know who started out that way.
Yeah, well, the way it's going,
we'll be singing together a lot on this record.
That's true.
Bet the fans would love to hear it live.
Well, your crackerjack backup singers will nail it,
I'm sure.
Look.
I like to sing.
I have a good voice.
You... have a great voice.
And helping you sound
as magnificent as you should,
that's more than enough for me.
That's so sweet.
Straight from the heart, babe.
[stew bubbling]
[inhales sharply]
I think your stew's goin' over.
Oh! My stew!
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh...
Hey.
Sorry about the jeans.
They'll dry.
If you have a minute, I thought that...
we could pick out some onesies for the new baby
to send to your dad and Bethany.
Did you take a look at the link I sent you?
You can pick something out.
All right. [sighs]
You're mad at your dad about something.
[laptop clicks shut]
Dad never wanted me.
Never wanted you?
He wanted a boy.
No, he didn't.
Yes, he did! He said it.
- When? - At the gender-reveal party.
Oh... you must have misunderstood.
I didn't misunderstand anything.
He said it, and he meant it.
You need to talk to your dad.
Why would I do that?
To clear the air.
I don't want to talk to him about it.
I don't want to talk to you about it.
I have homework.
Okay.
Well, I have got to say... that was delicious, Boone.
See?
You don't need to put meat in lasagna
for it to taste good.
It tastes better with it.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Easy there, tiger. Come on.
Not so nice.
Anyway, you guys have a good night, okay?
All right, bye.
- See you in the morning. - Okay.
Well, that was fun, huh?
Yeah.
Do we have to have dinner with them every night?
Hey...
we gotta get used to it, don't we?
I mean, we're gonna be with them all the time
once we're married.
But you're not married now.
[sighs]
Okay. Um...
I guess we could ease off
on the blended-family thing a little bit.
Where are we gonna be staying together every night?
Uh, gee, I don't know. I haven't thought about that.
I'm assuming here?
Like, "here" in, like, our house,
or "here" in, like, Tara's house?
Because we're kinda in both of 'em now.
Look, pal, I don't know, 'kay?
I haven't thought about it.
I'm tired.
Let's just go in and finish the homework,
and we'll-- we'll think about that later, okay?
Deal?
[***]
[snorts and nickers]
[Tara] I just assumed that we'd live at your place,
because my place isn't really my place.
It's the Barlows',
and I don't think they're planning on renting it
for much longer.
Well, my place is too small.
Fletch and Griff already share a room.
Where are we gonna put Erin?
Ah, that's a good-- good question.
Maybe our family hasn't stopped growing.
[Boone chuckles]
Wow, that's a...
Possibility?
Yeah, um...
Is that something that interests you?
I love being a mom, Boone,
and I've always wanted to hold a baby of my own.
I'd-I'd love to hold a baby of ours.
Well, that's a very sweet thought.
So, you're not opposed to the idea?
No, ma'am.
Not one little bit.
But we're definitely gonna need a bigger house.
You know, I still have those drawings
that I did for the addition.
I remember, yeah.
Yeah, I mean, it'd disrupt things for a spell, but...
How much of a spell?
Well, probably...
I'd say...
a month?
Maybe more? A couple months?
I was hoping for a summer wedding.
We'll still get married.
And keep living like this? In two separate houses?
Yeah, we'd make it work.
We do make it work.
I suppose.
You suppose, huh?
Okay.
[sighs] Okay.
Yeah, you're right.
Our lives are a little...
too chaotic as it is.
The last thing we need is a major house renovation,
and instead of adding on to what we already have,
I think our new lives should be...
exactly that--
new.
You have so many memories at your house.
You know, of you and Corey and the boys.
That's nice of you to say, thank you.
But...
I think we need to create our own memories,
in a place of our own,
and truth is,
I don't want to wait months or more to be with you.
I want to be with you right now.
I do, too.
So?
So...
guess we're lookin' for a new place to live.
[chuckles] Yeah.
I'm not so sure finding one and moving into it
is gonna make our lives any less chaotic.
No, but it gets us to married quicker.
Ahem.
Yeah.
But...?
[her words catch]
The boys aren't gonna like it, Boone.
I mean, you know they won't.
Yeah, but... they'll adapt.
Kids are good that way.
We're asking a lot of them.
Or I am.
They loved their mom so much.
They might not be ready for a new one...
and a new house.
[***]
This is Travis and Sarah McQuillan's old place.
They snowbirded to Boca for good in November, so...
I'm surprised it's still on the market.
It's a beautiful place for a family.
It is.
It's a nice place, don't you think, Griff?
I guess.
There's so many bedrooms.
Yup, everyone gets their own bedroom.
No more bunk beds.
But I like my bunk bed.
And also, there's lots of property,
so lots of room for Bert and Ernie
to stretch their legs, which is nice.
Yup, and maybe we can add to the herd, you know--
- get a couple horses of our own? - Mm-hmm.
Bert and Ernie wouldn't like that.
Just a thought.
Now, come on, let's go look at the house.
So...
what'd you think?
It's nice.
When would we move in?
I'm not sure.
I mean, Boone and I have to talk about it.
We haven't even signed a lease yet.
Morning, sleepyhead.
[grunts groggily]
[exhales]
Something wrong with the bed in your room?
[chuckles]
Mm. No.
I got a... [deep breath]
...visit from the muse last night.
Ah.
I had to heed the-- heed the call.
You wanna hear?
Yeah.
Ahh.
All right. Uh...
uh, yeah.
Ahem.
- [begins strumming] - * I could fix that fence post *
* Wrench on that farm truck tire *
* Punch a clock at a dead-end job *
* But I can't hold back this fire *
* Somewhere in a memory *
* There's a road that always leads me *
* Back to you *
* And I'm coming home to you *
* There's a voice in my head *
* Song in my soul *
* Keeps pulling on my heart *

[***]
Would it be all right if I kissed you?
That'd be just fine.
[***]
I don't understand why we have to move.
Well... our place isn't big enough.
Where is Erin gonna sleep?
On the sofa in the living room.
Like when we have visitors.
Guys...
she's not gonna be a visitor.
She's gonna be a member of this family.
How about cookies?
I'll get the milk.
Do not drink out of that bottle, young man.
- No promises. - Argh.
Dad, we like it here.
It's home.
I know,
but we'll make the new ranch home, too.
Won't be the same.
This is where we lived with mom.
I know...
...but there is something about your mom
that you guys don't know.
She always wanted to have a bigger house.
When we move,
will she still be able to see where we are from heaven?
Oh, pal.
Listen.
This is very important, both of you.
Your mom
always knows where you are.
Okay?
Good.
I don't want to move.
I know. You're making that very clear.
I get it, believe me.
Part of me doesn't want to move, either,
but a big part of life is moving forward,
and doing whatever you gotta do to get there,
and I think,
as your father,
that this is something that we need to do.
We'll be taking most of home with us, Griff.
Yeah.
Like, these cups, and the furniture...
and stuff like that, right, Dad?
Absolutely, yes!
You can take anything you want.
I still don't want to move.
Hey, pal, come on.
[dryly] Kids.
[***]
I know we have to move into a bigger house,
but I still don't like it.
How come?
Well, I already have, like, two families, you know,
with Dad and Bethany.
Now I'm gonna have three.
Well, don't you like Boone and the boys?
Sure, a lot.
So, then what's wrong about that?
I'm just spending less and less time with Mom--
Mm.
...And this is only gonna make it worse.
Well, maybe not.
I think you're pretty lucky to have three families.
It's kinda awesome.
Do you always see the positive side of things?
I try to.
[truck rumbles past]
I wish I could be like that.
Well, talk to me when you're bummed out.
I'll cheer you up.
- You always do. - [horn toots]
[beeps twice]
Erin! Hola!
Wow... Mateo can drive?
It's no big deal. I can drive.
With a permit.
I'll be 16 soon.
Well, in October.
[Boone] Kendra wasn't lying. She's got everything in here.
[Tara] Yeah, I knew she was organized,
but this is, like, next level.
Ooh... I like that dress.
Maybe if I was 25.
[Boone laughs]
Did you see the price tag?
Ooh, hate that dress!
[Tara laughs]
But do I really need, like, a "wedding" wedding dress?
I...
I've got some great things I could wear.
Yeah, you wear whatever you want,
as far as I'm concerned.
You can wear a clown costume, or a bikini.
- Ooh! - Oh. There's an idea.
A bikini?
[both laughing]
Yeah, but I would like to see you in a tux.
Ooh... no, no, no. I don't do tuxes.
I haven't worn a tux since senior prom.
You didn't wear one to your first wedding?
Nah, I didn't want to pony-up for it.
We didn't-- We didn't have a
whole lot of money back then, so.
[text message chimes]
Mm.
Is everything okay?
Yeah.
Yeah, the realtor said the place is ours if we want it.
That's great.
Not only that, but there's another family
that might be interested in this place.
Wow.
Everything's moving so fast.
Well, we can slow it down, if you want.
We could see what else is out there.
No. No, no, that-- that place has exactly what we need.
And room to grow.
Are you sure you're okay with selling this place?
[deep breath]
[sighs heavily]
It's hard.
I'm not gonna lie. It is hard.
But I know we need to,
and I want to.
I really do want to.
It's just that it's...
It's hard.
It is hard.
Yeah.
How are the boys doing?
Well...
Fletch is okay with it, but, I mean, he's okay with anything.
Griffin, on the other hand, is...
dead-set against it.
[sighs]
Yeah. I thought he might be.
Yeah, but you know what?
When the rubber hits the road, I think he's gonna be just fine.
Yeah. Yeah, and...
we'll deal with it.
Thank you for saying "we".
Well, it's you and me all the way, Boone.
- Mm-hmm. - Yup.
Through better or worse, through sickness and in health.
And through the giant pain in the you-know-what
packing up two households is gonna be?
Mm-hmm, and no matter what the world throws our way.
Yeah.
On the topic of kids...
Mm-hmm?
Um, I need you to pick everyone up from
- after-school stuff tomorrow. - Yup.
I have parent-teacher conferences all afternoon.
Locked and loaded. Like a steel trap.
I will let Joanna know that she's gonna need new tenants,
and we need to start making some decisions.
Yeah, I know.
Um... ahem.
Look.
Would you mind if we did this another time?
It's getting a little bit late.
I should probably get the guys to bed.
- Okay, sure, yeah. - Okay.
Uh, but we do need to set a date.
I know. You're right, we do.
I just...
I don't know, maybe we should, uh...
keep things a little flexible, just for the time being.
But we-- we need to figure something out.
I know... and we will!
We don't even know where we're gonna have it!
We don't know anything!
[sighs]
[ball hits glove]
[Tara] Nice throw, Fletch!
[Fletcher] Thanks.
All right. Just a few more, and then we'll go to school.
Hey. Is everything all right?
Well...
I've been wondering...
um, after you and Dad get married,
and we're living at the new ranch together,
are you gonna want us to call you "Mom",
me and Griffin?
I... I hadn't really thought about it.
Do you want to call me "Mom"?
Well, um...
I think so?
You don't have to, if you don't want to.
Well, here's the thing.
I want to,
but I'm not sure Griffin does,
and I should do what he does, right?
That makes sense.
It's just...
You had a mom,
and it might be weird calling somebody else that.
Yeah, it kinda might.
Well, I think you know
that Erin's not my biological daughter.
Her mom died when she was a little girl.
But she calls you "Mom".
She didn't at first.
It took her a while before she wanted to--
and that's the thing, Fletch,
it's-- it's what you want that matters.
So, you won't be mad
if we still call you Tara
and "Miss Kendall"?
When we're at school, of course.
No, I won't be mad at all.
Come here.
[laughs]
All right, now that that's settled,
let's go get ready for school, or we're gonna be late, okay?
- Okay. - All right.
[Erin giggles]
[***]
[Erin giggling]
[Erin] You got me.
[dispatch over radio] Sheriff Taylor, do you read me?
Yeah, go ahead.
Overturned 18-wheeler on the westbound 94,
about a mile outside of Forsyth.
They're calling everybody in.
Okay, I'm on my way.
Yeah. Yeah. All right, Kev.
All right, yeah. All right, I got it.
Yeah, I am, too. All right.
[laughs]
Okay, bye-bye.
Well?
What'd the label think of the demo?
"That Elfman-Crowe magic is back.
We're going platinum again. You heard it here first."
His exact words.
Ah, from his lips to God's ears.
Yeah. He's booked us Studio "C"--
four weeks, starting July 15th.
The usual drill?
He wants me back in a week to start prep.
A week?
Yeah. Sooner, if we're done here.
[abruptly] Yeah?
You can come with me,
if you want.
There's plenty of room at my place in Franklin.
Well, I won't be needed until late July.
I'll be needing you.
[Casey sighs softly]
I've been so caught up in our creative process,
I haven't even thought about what--
...What comes next?
What does come next?
[sighs]
I don't know.
This just feels so right to me, Case.
You know?
So real.
Yeah, for me, too.
I mean, I hate the idea of being apart,
but I gotta go back to Nashville.
It's where my career is.
I know.
Well, can you see yourself being there again?
When I left-- what was it, 10, 12 years ago?
I swore I'd never go back.
I get too crazy there.
Pretty quiet up in Franklin.
No.
We would be in the heart of the business,
every day, all day.
You know we would.
I got lost there, Peter.
I had to come here to find myself again.
Well... [exhales]
...that was then,
and now you've found me.
I'm gonna have to think on it.
Yeah, I understand.
[text alert chimes, phone buzzes]
Amelia's wonderful with the other students.
[alert chimes, phone buzzes]
If there's an area that she could work on,
it's her focus.
[chiming]
Sorry.
Excuse me one second.
[beep]
[call auto-dials, line rings]
[ringing]
[sirens wailing]
[phone buzzing, multiple sirens wailing]
Hey, there. You've reached Boone Taylor.
Please leave a message at the beep.
Thank you.
Boone, where are you?
The kids are texting me.
Are you all right?
Please, call me when you get this.
[***]
Boone? Where have you been?
I know.
I know, I blew it.
Why didn't you return any of my calls?
Sorry, my phone died.
There was a giant tri-county emergency,
and the interstate was shut down,
and traffic was backed up for miles. I'm sorry.
Why didn't you just tell me what was going on?
You left the kids stranded.
I know, I'm sorry.
I just-- I lost track of time. I...
I forgot.
If there's one thing we can't forget, Boone--
it's the kids.
You're right. You're right.
They're okay?
Yeah, they're-- they're okay, now, yeah.
I'm, uh...
I'm sorry I made you worry.
I thought something had happened.
Something like a car crash, or worse.
Sometimes, I forget that my job is dangerous,
and I apologize for that.
I don't know what I'd do if I lost you, Boone.
Oh, come on, you're not gonna lose me.
You just found me.
[chuckling]
Don't ever do that again.
Yes, ma'am.
Not ever?
Never.
Okay.
All right.
Hey!
You look nice.
Thanks.
You know, it's your dad's birthday today.
Oh, yeah.
I know he'd love to hear from you.
- You should call him. - Yeah, sure. Whatever.
- Hey, Mateo! - Hey.
- [toots horn] - Hola,Ms. Kendall.
Hi, Mateo.
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hold on, young lady.
You can't go in the car with him.
I'm sorry, I don't understand?
Well, in Montana,
you have to be 17 to drive with other teenagers.
I am 17, Sheriff Taylor.
Almost 18.
Erin asked me if it was okay.
[dubiously] Uh-huh.
Um, and how did she know--
I mean, Mr. Carmody knows that you're driving his car?
Of course.
Boone, please?
I talked to Hutch.
He says that Mateo
is an excellent and experienced driver.
I'm sure he is.
Okay, fine.
But you drive carefully, young man.
[Mateo] ¡Claro que sí!
And make sure you're wearing your seatbelts, kids.
- [beep-beep] - Got it.
- [sighs] - Mm-mm.
Don't you look at me like that.
In my line of work,
I have seen plenty of teenagers get hurt,
or worse, from reckless driving.
Boone, they are just going into town for some ice cream.
[blows air tensely]
[***]
[Erin] They have cappuccinos at the saloon.
They have a cappuccino machine.
I'm not sure they know how to use it.
I like their cappuccinos.
"Cappuccini," if you want to be precise--
and wouldn't you want
a movie theatre with a bigger screen?
I don't mind.
I know Parable isn't perfect, but it's pretty darn good.
You just like it here
'cause you know how to ride horses.
And you don't?
They frighten me.
They should.
I mean, I could teach you, if you want to learn, though.
We have two horses.
I mean, the Taylors have two horses,
but we're almost family.
Okay, sure. I could give it a try.
And you gotta admit, this ice cream is pretty good.
[scoffs] It's pretty good...
but there's this gelato shop in Firenze called "Vivoli",
and the ice cream there is fuera de este mundo.
I'm kind of a snob, aren't I?
[laughs] You think?
Oh, puedo hacer eso.
[car door shuts]
Okay, so I put together a list
of the things I thought we would need,
and that we could afford.
Mm-hmm, that's a pretty long list.
Well, it was twice as long before I cut it down,
but, um, I mean, some of things--
like flowers and invitations, we can do online,
but other stuff, like catering,
will take a bit more work.
Okay, well, what do you want to do about that?
I don't know, what do you feel like?
Like, chicken? Pasta?
Uh, rainbow trout?
Yeah, sounds good to me.
Any preference?
[sighs uneasily]
I don't know, can't we just, uh...
get the caterer to figure that out?
Yeah, we can, if we tell them what we want,
and when we want it.
We have to set a date, though.
I know, I know. I just...
I mean, come on, this is just not my thing.
Do you think it's my thing?
[laughs]
Well, I mean, yeah, you know, you're a...
A woman?
And this is the sort of thing a woman takes care of?
That is not what I meant.
Mm-hmm.
That's exactly what I was saying.
but listen, I-I-- catering and flowers?
I'm just gonna mess that up.
Well, I don't wanna be thinking about this stuff, either.
You know, I've got a school year to wrap up,
a house to pack, a high-maintenance teenager.
Well, why don't we just go to a notary
and be done with it, then?
A notary?
Yeah, in Montana, a notary can marry you.
Seriously?
Yeah. Well, my dad was a notary.
A lot of ranchers are.
I know, but is that what you want?
Just run off and get married?
Well, when you say it like that...
no, but come on.
Neither of us seem to be into this big wedding thing.
But I want a wedding.
You know, with our kids and our friends and...
don't you?
Well, yeah, sure.
Of course!
- Okay, well, then... - Okay.
Work with me here.
All right.
School year's over second week in June.
Mm-hmm.
How's July 1st?
Yeah. Yup, that sounds good, um...
but it's up against the Fourth of July.
- Okay. - Okay.
July 8th?
Yeah...
that sounds good, um,
but what if it's the weekend we're moving?
Okay, are you trying to drive me crazy?
You're already there.
[laughs] Come on.
Lighten up. I'm just kidding around.
You're right.
July 8th.
Done.
Finally.
[***]
[gate thuds]
Ready to roll.
Drive safe.
Are we gonna talk about it, or...
I can't leave Parable, Peter.
It's home now.
Okay, so we'll have a mid-coastal relationship
and see if that works.
No, it won't. Not for me.
Well, you won't know till you try.
Yeah, I do.
That's the one thing Parable has taught me--
to be honest with myself about what I want.
Guess I thought you might want me.
I do.
I'm not enough.
This time together with you has been so wonderful,
and if that's all the angels have carved out for us, then,
I'll cherish it forever...
...and the beautiful record we're gonna make.
Me too.
[***]
[voice cracks] I'll see you in late July.
[***]
We're leaving for dinner soon.
There's still time to call your dad.
Fine.
[phone buzzes and rings]
Ahem.
[ringing]
[beep]
Hi, sweetheart.
Hey, Dad. Happy birthday.
[chuckles] Thanks, honey.
You-- You remembered.
Well, Mom did.
How's Bethany?
She's good. She's sleeping.
You know, she, uh, she does that a lot these days.
Tell her I say hi.
I will. Um, I will.
So, what about you? How are you doing?
Fine. You know, busy.
Right, yeah, the wedding, the move...
Yeah, so I gotta go have dinner now.
Wait, don't-don't hang up. Please.
Erin, what is it?
I know you're upset with me about something.
N-No, I'm not.
Just tell me.
It's what you said.
The gender-reveal party?
What did I say?
How happy you are to finally have a son?
Yeah, I am happy.
The one that you "always wanted",
which isn't me.
No, Erin.
Honey, me wanting to have a son
doesn't mean that I didn't want you.
My dream of having a daughter has already come true.
You're just saying that.
I'm saying it because I mean it.
Yeah.
Okay, well, I gotta go now.
Hey, Erin, I...
I love you.
So much. Please believe that.
And thanks for calling me on my birthday.
It means the world to me.
Yeah.
[deep breath] Bye.
Bye.
[sighs]
[chuckles softly]
Mateo's driving me to dance, so I'll see you later?
Okay.
[car starts]
- Hey. - Hey.
[***]
[buckle clicks]
[engine starts]
[engine roaring]
[radar beeping]
[click]
[siren starts wailing]
[siren wailing distantly]
[***]
Dawson?
[demo playing] * Ain't nothin' can be sold *
* That'll make me feel like you do *
* And those bright city lights *
* Can shine for someone else tonight *
* 'Cause all I need is you *
* All I need is you *
[shuts stereo off]
Yeah?
Wow, Casey... that's beautiful.
[sighs] Thanks for taking a listen.
Are you kidding? I'm honored!
I just really wanted an unbiased pair of ears.
Well, I'm hardly unbiased where you're concerned.
But that was...
sensational.
So, you've set a date?
Yes.
Well... [stammering]
We're targeting July 8th.
Targeting isn't setting.
I know.
Is everything okay?
Yeah, everything's fine. Why wouldn't it be?
I don't know. You tell me.
[laughs]
I-- well, okay.
When we were dating, everything was perfect.
Ah.
And now it's getting complicated?
Mm-hmm, yeah.
We're gonna get through this unscathed, Tara.
Both of us.
Promise?
I promise.
- Okay, play it again. - Yeah?
[chuckling]
* Some people seek fortune and fame *
* Some of them... *
Pal, what were you thinking?
Do you have any idea how fast you were going?
I wanted to surprise Erin.
Drive her home from dance class.
That was a really bad idea.
Yeah. I'm sorry.
I just...
you have a right to be mad at me.
I'm not mad at you.
I know you're a good kid.
I'm just...
I'm disappointed, that's all.
Here's your mother.
It's not gonna be good.
- Hey. - Hey.
[sternly] Get in the car. I'm taking you home.
Your dad will pick up the truck.
So, how bad is it?
Well... it's not great.
Driving without a license, excessive speeding...
Will he have to go before a judge?
Yeah, juvenile. It's just a formality.
Little slap on the wrist-- that's all.
Okay, good.
He needs to learn this lesson.
So, one question.
- Hmm? - Why?
I think he was trying to impress Erin.
Because?
Because Erin thinks boys who drive cars are cool.
Well, she is not wrong there.
No. No, unfortunately, I guess not.
Anyway, good luck.
- Thank you. - See ya.
[Boone clears his throat]
[gate bangs shut]
Thank you for dropping Fletch off at baseball.
Of course, no problem.
And how's your season going, by the way?
I wanna play shortstop,
but Coach keeps putting me at first base.
Yeah, that's 'cause you're a lefty, dude.
Yeah, I know, but it's boring at first b--
[snaps] You arrested Dawson?
Uh, where did you hear that?
From everyone! My phone is blowing up!
Well, I didn't exactly arrest him.
He's going to court!
Erin, why don't you sit down? The pizza's getting cold.
You can't do that!
He broke the law.
It's my job to uphold it.
Yeah, but he's our friend!
I know he's our friend,
but the law applies to everyone.
I can't play favorites.
You are unbelievable!
First, you give Mateo a hard time,
and now Dawson?
- Erin. - [snaps] What?
You have to fix this!
- Hey. - Dawson is not a criminal
and you can't--
That's enough! Stop!
You don't know what you're talking about,
so please, sit down, and eat your dinner.
Hey!
[door slams]
[Boone sighs]
So, if Erin's not eating, can I have another slice?
Not the right time, pal. Not the right time.
[sighs heavily]
All right, tell ya what, you head home,
and I'll catch up with you, okay?
- Okay. - All right.
[Boone takes a breath, sighs deeply]
You can't talk to her like that.
Excuse me?
You're used to dealing with boys.
Girls are different.
Okay, granted,
I shouldn't have lost my temper--
And you shouldn't have yelled at her.
Well, somebody needed to,
because she gets away with murder.
No, she doesn't!
Yes, she does.
I mean, driving with Mateo when he doesn't know the roads?
But she does.
She wasn't driving.
Making Dawson jealous
so he drives a truck just to impress her?
She didn't ask him to do that!
She needs to take responsibility for her actions.
She's barely 15!
Well, then it's high time.
I think it's high time,
and you need to demand more of her.
Okay, don't tell me how to raise my daughter.
Oh! Oh, okay, well, if-- if I'm not mistaken,
she's about to become my daughter, too, right?
Maybe not.
What?
Maybe we were crazy to think that this was ever gonna work.
No, no, no, no, no. Don't say that.
Neither one of us wants to plan a wedding.
I mean, it took us forever to set a date,
if we even have.
You don't want to move.
Look.
Things have been a little crazy between us, I get that, but--
Maybe things aren't crazy at all.
Maybe this is exactly who we are,
and it's... just not working.
Come on, that's not it.
I am trying to make this work!
Is that what we are for you? Work?
No. That's not what-- That's not what I'm saying.
Then what are you saying?
Tara, I am trying to give you everything you want.
You know what I want?
A break.
A break?
A break from what?
From me?
From all of this.
[sighs darkly]
Tara, wait. Come on!
[***]
[door creaks]
So, I don't understand.
Why aren't Griffin and Fletcher coming with us?
I'll tell you on the drive.
[***]
Yeah, I mean, it all happened so fast,
I can't even really remember the details,
but I'm just glad it's over.
Yeah.
[background chatter]
- Morning, boys. - Morning.
So, um, Dad told us some stuff in the car just now.
He said him and Tara blowed up.
Well, "broke up."
Well, I don't know about that,
but yeah, they're having issues.
What are "issues"?
When grownups are acting crazy.
Which is what they're doing.
Anyway, we should be going.
Fletch.
Well, I know it feels like it took forever,
but those essay books you ordered
finally came in.
What?
Oh, honey.
Come here.
[sniffling]
[***]
Boone.
Hey there, Hutch.
I was talking to Kendra. What's going on?
Honestly, pal, I have no idea.
You and Tara broke up?
Maybe, yeah?
I don't know.
Uh, we had a fight.
A fight?
Yeah, we had a fight.
A really big fight.
Things have been a bit tense lately.
Tense enough to break off an engagement?
I mean, I guess?
If that's what she wants? I don't know.
Boone, what do you want?
Well, I'll tell ya this, pal, right now, what I really want,
is for yesterday to have never happened.
[***]
[Casey] But you and Boone are perfect together.
Maybe not.
Because you had a dust-up?
That happens to everyone.
We have to be on the same page when it comes to the kids.
You are.
He has to love Erin as much as I do,
or it's just-- it's just not gonna work.
Tara, darling...
Erin has her faults, just like the rest of us.
You may not have liked the way that Boone talked to her,
but him calling her out
doesn't mean he doesn't care about her.
It means he does.
[***]
Okay, guys. I hope you're hungry.
Dinner... is about to be served.
What?
Griff and I have talked it over.
And...
we're ready for Tara to be our mom.
I'm even ready to call her "Mom".
And Erin to be our sister.
So, whatever it is that's bugging you guys--
Work it out.
[exhales thoughtfully]
Hmm.
[sets plate down]
[***]
[footsteps]
[Tara] Erin? Dinner's ready.
[click]
Hey.
[Erin sobs softly]
It's all my fault.
I ruined everything.
No, you didn't ruin anything.
You and Boone are fighting,
and now we might not move into that great new ranch
and become a family?
I got Dawson in trouble,
and I was totally wrong about Dad.
How can you live with me?
Oh, sweetheart.
I couldn't live without you.
If you and Boone don't get married because of me,
I would never, ever forgive myself.
Sweetheart, it's okay.
[Erin sobs]
It's okay.
I'm sorry.
It's okay. [smooch]
[***]
Hey...
Hey.
[sighing]
I said some things last night that I'm really regretting.
Yeah, me too.
It was awful-- fighting like that.
We weren't the best versions of ourselves, were we?
No.
It's gonna happen again, though...
and again...
'cause that's what happens
when you share your life with someone.
Do you still want that?
You know I do.
More than anything in the world.
Me too.
[chuckles warmly]
Good.
[***]
I guess we're gonna have to dust off that wedding list.
Mm-hmm.
I think there's somebody
I need to speak to first, though.
[***]
[Boone takes a deep breath, sighs]
- Hey, there. - Hey.
It's pretty, huh?
Yeah. I really love it here.
Good. I'm glad.
Look, uh...
I guess maybe I...
do some things a little differently.
Yeah, I guess.
You know...
it's not because I don't love you.
It's because I do.
I know...
Dad.
[amused] Oh? So, we're good then?
Yeah, we're good.
Come here.
[Boone sighs contentedly]
[***]
Dad!
What?
We need your help.
Okay.
Oh, no, what are you guys up to?
The pry bar's stuck.
Oh, I see what you're doing here.
[grunts] Okay, all you gotta do is just...
jimmy it around,
and the nails should pop right out,
just like that.
There ya go.
[chuckles]
Is this your idea?
Yeah.
It's a good idea.
It'd be a shame to leave that behind.
I already picked a spot at the new house
where we could put it, Dad.
I'll bet you did.
And once it's there,
we could put Tara and Erin on it.
Yeah, the whole family.
[Boone chuckles]
"The whole family."
Ohh, what am I gonna do with you two, huh?
Mm!
[sighs]
Boy, you guys have gotten tall.
- Almost as tall as you. - That's not saying much.
[Boone] Ouch!
[music begins to play nearby]
* I miss your fingers caressing *
* The back of my head *
* I miss you singing every song *
* I miss getting to sing along *
* I miss... *
I still have that boom box.
* ...hearing your voice soar above mine *
[turns song off]
I, uh...
gave it some thought.
I can work remote, most of the time.
I'll just go to Nashville when I'm needed.
You're planning on doing that from here?
Yes, ma'am...
if you'll have me.
Let's...
start with forever...
take it from there.
We can certainly talk about that...
...but first,
we got us a potluck to get to.
[chuckles]
[***]
Hey...
Hey.
A kiss-and-make-up party.
Is this, uh, an American tradition?
Yeah, I guess.
How are you?
We haven't talked in a while.
I'll, uh...
go see if they need help setting up.
It hadn't really seemed like
you've been much interested in talking to me lately.
I know. I'm sorry.
I'm really, really sorry.
Well, maybe we can do something next weekend,
like, a date?
Yeah, I'd like that.
You look really pretty, by the way.
[phone rings]
It's my dad.
I'll talk to you later.
[ringing]
[phone continues ringing]
Hi, Dad.
Hi, sweetheart!
Bethany and I have some big news...
your brother John is here,
and he can't wait to meet his big sister.
John is perfect, Erin, just like you.
As soon as you can,
we want you to come to New York.
I will. I can't wait.
Okay, just let me know when it's a good time,
and we'll make all the arrangements.
I love you, Erin, and so does Bethany--
- [John cries] - ...And so does little John!
Love you, too, Dad.
You too, John!
- [crying] - Oh...
[indistinct chatter]
Hey, superstar!
- Hey. - Nice to see you.
Yeah, wait till you taste these beans--
you'll be saying "megastar".
Speaking of stars, where is, uh, Boone and Tara?
Oh, they're late for their own kiss-and-make-up party.
Ah, nope, they're right on time...
and actually, they're going to be doing a little more
than kissing and making up today.
[***]
[gasping] Oh... guys!
[***]
This is perfect!
[guests gasping and chatting]
You knew?
[laughs]
[***]
Ladies and gentlemen...
you have been invited to the wedding of--
...Boone Taylor--
And Tara Kendall.
Come on!
- Yes! - Come on, let's go!
Let's go!
[***]
Shall we?
[***]
All right, you got something for me? Nice.
Thank you.
Thank you!
Wait, is he marrying them?
Apparently so.
How?
Well, he is a notary. It's his little side gig.
Uh-huh, gotcha. Gotcha.
- The rings? - The rings! Right.
There you are.
There you go.
- All right. - Perfect. Thank you.
Okay, we're good?
All right, boys, let's go. Hutch, we're comin'!
[***]
[chuckling]
Sit close to your brother. Thank you.
[***]
[Boone exhaling deeply]
[***]
[quietly] Wow!
[exhales deeply]
- Please be seated. - Okay.
Dearly beloved,
we are gathered here today to join in matrimony
this man and this woman.
Marriage is a sacred vow--
a promise to share someone's life
through the good, the bad, and the indifferent,
a pledge not to be taken lightly.
So, I ask you, Boone Taylor,
are you prepared to take this vow today?
I certainly am.
Tara Kendall...
...I once told you
that waking up every day knowing I get to be with you
is pretty much my definition of a reason to live.
I meant it then,
and I mean it now...
and I will mean it every step.
And you, Tara Kendall...
are you prepared to make this vow?
Boone Taylor...
I am crazy in love with you.
You make my heart race and my knees weak.
You're kind and gentle,
thoughtful and strong.
The kind of man a woman can dare to build a life with...
and...
I'm taking that dare
with my whole heart and soul,
every step of the way.
Erin...
Fletcher, Griffin--
are you prepared to welcome and embrace
the vows that your parents
- are taking today? - We do.
We do.
[grumbles playfully] Yeah, you better do.
[guests chuckling]
Now, is there anyone here who objects to this marriage?
And there better well darn not be!
All right!
Well, let's make this thing official.
Boone?
Tara Kendall...
with this ring...
I do thee wed.
Boone Taylor...
with this ring,
I do thee wed.
By the power vested in me in the great state of Montana,
I know pronounce you husband and wife, but...
it's not official-official until you--
Oh, come on!
- Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo! - [applause breaks out]
Yeah!
[laughter and applause]
I love you.
I love you, too.
Come on, everybody, get up here!
Let's go.
Come on!
[***]
* Don't need glitter or gold *
* Ain't nothin' can be sold *
* That'll make me feel like you do *
* And those bright city lights *
* Can shine for someone else tonight *
* 'Cause all I need is you *
* All I need is you *
