Lexie, who is known for always getting parties to say yes in the real estate deals she handles, is sent to her old hometown of Tubac, Arizona, to push through the purchase of a farm. The farm is owned by Coby, who is not willing to sell at all. Lexie takes on the challenge but must also confront her father and her brothers who live on the neighboring farm to the one Lexie is tasked with buying. She left the family ten years ago when her father denied her the opportunity to take an active part in managing the farm. Now, old grievances resurface as she tries to approach Coby to succeed in her mission.

00:03:00Okay Lexi, you are really feeling yourself right now, aren't you?
00:03:04I am feeling my two generous commissions and my glorious self all the way to Christmas vacay in Iceland with my bestie.
00:03:14And I want that for us, I really do, but...
00:03:17Oh no, no, no, no, no, no buts here, okay?
00:03:19We are going to Iceland, we are gonna ride horses, and...
00:03:21And see the Northern Lights, and we will...
00:03:24Simone, we've been busting our ass for months, I'm packed, we're going.
00:03:27This is a big one, Lexi.
00:03:29It's the kind of account we have been waiting for.
00:03:31There's a massive bonus in it for you specifically, and for the company, if we close by Christmas Eve.
00:03:36I don't care.
00:03:38This is your company too.
00:03:39How massive?
00:03:43Puts our little boutique real estate agency into the big leagues massive.
00:03:48Really?
00:03:49The buyer specifically asked for you.
00:03:51That's weird, who's the buyer?
00:03:52Land development company called Scott Islands.
00:03:55We need your magic touch.
00:03:56This potential seller is really stubborn.
00:03:59But the Northern Lights...
00:04:00We'll still be there in two weeks, and our pockets will have a little extra cash while we see them.
00:04:06Where am I going?
00:04:09Well, that's the one thing you're not gonna love about this.
00:04:13The one thing?
00:04:15You're going home.
00:04:19To back Arizona.
00:04:24Simone, I haven't been back in...
00:04:26In ten years, I know.
00:04:28It's time to go home for the holidays.
00:04:30Yeah, I, uh, I swore I would never go back.
00:04:35I'm sure you can avoid your God if you really want to.
00:04:38But, who knows?
00:04:39Maybe it's time to mend fences.
00:04:42Not possible with him.
00:04:44Ten years is a long time.
00:04:46You never know.
00:04:50You'll leave tomorrow.
00:04:51You'll leave tomorrow.
00:05:00You never know.
00:05:01You'll leave tomorrow.
00:05:02You never know.
00:05:05So slow
00:05:06Try and catch the bait
00:05:12Hurry up and wait
00:05:15We all want what we don't have
00:05:21To walk someone else's path
00:05:25And I don't know where to go
00:05:29When there's a fork in the road
00:05:35The other side has pretty features
00:05:39The grass looks tall but it's not greener
00:05:49And everything ain't always what it seems
00:05:55Hey, you're Crenshaw, Lexi
00:05:57Thank you
00:05:58What's unfamiliar can fool your eyes
00:06:05The grass ain't greener
00:06:09On the other side
00:06:12It's a broken hearted Christmas
00:06:28My baby's gone, gone, gone
00:06:32Oh, it's a broken hearted Christmas
00:06:37She did me wrong, wrong
00:06:40Hey there
00:06:40Hi
00:06:42What are you drinking?
00:06:46Um, excuse me, can I get a burger and an IPA, please?
00:06:51Thanks
00:06:51Put it on my tab, will you?
00:06:53No, don't do that
00:06:54Uh, thank you
00:06:55But I'm, uh, fine
00:06:58Okay
00:06:59Thanks
00:07:00Looks like we got the same taste in beer
00:07:06That's a good sign
00:07:07Okay
00:07:10You sure you won't let me pay?
00:07:13I mean, I'm used to paying on the first date
00:07:15Uh, date?
00:07:18Drink, hang, I don't know
00:07:20What are the kids calling it these days?
00:07:22Does this usually work?
00:07:23What do you mean?
00:07:25No, the whole, like, you know, we're on a date thing
00:07:27I mean, do you generally have success with that?
00:07:31I gotta take this
00:07:33Sorry
00:07:34Hey, everything okay?
00:07:37Yeah, yeah, go ahead
00:07:39Hey, baby
00:07:41What do you mean?
00:07:44Oh, come on, darling, I'm out
00:07:45Um, actually, can I get that burger to go, please?
00:07:49Hey, hang on
00:07:50Please, please don't
00:07:51Wait
00:07:52Hey, baby, I can't
00:07:53Okay, I'm in public
00:07:54Okay
00:07:55Okay, okay
00:07:57All right, night-night, ladybug
00:08:10I love you more
00:08:11All right
00:08:13Sorry, my kid
00:08:17We have this nighttime, bedtime routine
00:08:21I just, Linda told you I have a daughter, right?
00:08:25I'm sorry, I truly have no idea what you're talking about
00:08:29You're Michelle, right?
00:08:32I am not, no
00:08:34This is awkward
00:08:37Blind date
00:08:40Yeah
00:08:41Do you, uh, do you have a description?
00:08:44Maybe I, uh, can help you find her
00:08:46I'm not so sure I want to be found now
00:08:49No, no, seriously, this will be fun
00:08:51All right
00:08:52The only thing I got is that she's really pretty and she ain't married
00:08:59Okay, well, Linda's not much on details, huh?
00:09:03She's my mother's best friend, basically an extension of her
00:09:07So, if she's got a pulse, she's gonna send her my way
00:09:11And she's not gonna be here for another hour
00:09:17An hour?
00:09:19Sorry, if something came up, I'll be closer to maybe eight
00:09:23Gross
00:09:24God, that's not good
00:09:25What should I say?
00:09:27Well, I mean, how bad do you want to meet this not married pretty friend of Linda's?
00:09:32Not too bad, no
00:09:36All right, well, then give me your phone
00:09:37Seriously, come on, someone has to correct this terrible behavior
00:09:42New phone, poo dis
00:09:57Very mature
00:09:59Well, when they go low, you meet them there
00:10:01That's what I always say
00:10:02I don't even think that's a real saying
00:10:04Look, I don't get out often and I'm out
00:10:09And I got my one good shirt
00:10:11You only have one?
00:10:12Yeah, that's it
00:10:14My mom's watching my kid
00:10:18My blind date definitely ain't coming now
00:10:20What do you say?
00:10:23Hang around and keep me company for a little while
00:10:25Let me buy you that burger
00:10:28The closer
00:10:38You own your own company and they call you the closer
00:10:41They do
00:10:42That's some superhero stuff right there
00:10:45Yeah, well, I'm kind of amazing at what I do
00:10:47I don't doubt that for a second
00:10:49What exactly do you do?
00:10:52I get people to say yes
00:10:54That's it
00:10:56Well, it's a lot harder than it sounds
00:10:58But I can get the most stubborn person to say yes to something they swore they would never do
00:11:03Like, for instance, by the end of this night, I will have you up and dancing with me
00:11:08No, I don't dance for anyone anywhere
00:11:12Oh, really?
00:11:14Mm-hmm
00:11:14Okay, so your kid brings you to a father-daughter dance
00:11:18And she's out there on the dance floor
00:11:19Her arms all outstretched
00:11:21And her eyes all doe-eyed
00:11:22And she's pleading, saying, Daddy, dance with me
00:11:24And you're gonna say no?
00:11:27Abby is a different story
00:11:29Okay, so then you can imagine a world where you would dance
00:11:32I guess so
00:11:33See, that's my way in
00:11:34If you can imagine it, I can get you to do it
00:11:38Mm-hmm
00:11:39I bet you 20 bucks that I will get you up on your feet in the next five minutes
00:11:50Five minutes?
00:11:52Mm-hmm
00:11:52That's a bet
00:11:54Incoming
00:11:58What?
00:12:02Hi, um, it's me, Michelle
00:12:04Are you Linda's friend?
00:12:08Well, I don't know who Linda is, but this is my favorite song
00:12:13And my guy here is gonna be in a lot of trouble if he doesn't get up and dance with me
00:12:16Oh, my mistake
00:12:18I thought you were someone else
00:12:19No problem, darling
00:12:21You coming, baby?
00:12:27Damn, Ciguro
00:12:29You are good
00:12:32I told you
00:12:33And I don't want your money
00:12:34Keep it
00:12:35What do you want?
00:12:48So I am staying around the corner
00:12:51I can't believe
00:12:58I'm gonna say this, but
00:12:59I gotta go
00:13:01Did I do something wrong?
00:13:04No, no, it's just
00:13:05This wouldn't be good for me
00:13:08You're leaving tomorrow
00:13:09And tonight could be
00:13:12Oh, I know what tonight could be
00:13:14Believe me
00:13:15But
00:13:16I'm not a one-and-done kind of guy
00:13:19And you are
00:13:21You wouldn't be good for me
00:13:25I promise not to fall in love with you
00:13:27It's not what I'm afraid of
00:13:29Thank you for keeping me confident, my man
00:13:36It was a pleasure meeting you
00:13:38You too
00:13:39Hey, uh
00:13:43What's your name?
00:13:47Yeah
00:13:47Let's not do that
00:13:49Okay
00:13:51I hope you get what you came for
00:14:15It's gonna take you longer than one day to close this deal
00:14:16Buyers have been trying to get Kobe Mason to sell for the better part of the decade
00:14:20Yeah, well, they didn't have me on their team
00:14:22So tell me about this Kobe Mason
00:14:24Third-generation cattle rancher and horse trainer
00:14:26His father, Jesse, passed about five years ago and left it all to him
00:14:30Business has been struggling, according to the buyer
00:14:33It would be good for him to sell, cut his losses, but
00:14:36He's sentimental
00:14:37Emotionally unable to let go
00:14:39Pretty much
00:14:40All right, I got it
00:14:41Call you when it's done
00:14:50Quack
00:15:03All right, we're not home
00:15:04We'll be happy
00:15:05We're sure exactly how that goes
00:15:06As a woman
00:15:08Ha huge
00:15:08At least
00:15:11Loves
00:15:11Customs
00:15:12Hello?
00:15:25Hello?
00:15:34Hey there.
00:15:36What's going on?
00:15:38Hi.
00:15:39Hey.
00:15:40You nervous?
00:15:41It's okay.
00:15:42I'm not going to hurt you.
00:15:44Hey.
00:15:44You're okay, girl.
00:15:46You're okay.
00:15:48You are good with her.
00:15:51Sorry, I wasn't sure anyone was here.
00:15:53Summershade?
00:15:54She's not that calm with most people.
00:15:57No, she's got a history of jumping out of enclosed places, among other things.
00:16:01Neighbor couldn't get her to take a saddle, so we brought her over here to see what my son might be able to do about that.
00:16:06Is your son Kobe Mason?
00:16:07He is.
00:16:09I'm Millie.
00:16:09Hi, Lexi. It's nice to meet you.
00:16:11I'm really sorry to barge in like this. I tried the front door, but doors are always open around here.
00:16:16Can I help you with something?
00:16:17Yeah, I was hoping to talk to Kobe.
00:16:19Oh, well, that might be a while.
00:16:21I mean, the fence came down out in the southern pasture, and some of our cattle wandered over into Crenshaw's pasture,
00:16:26and he's out there trying to round them up and, you know, fix the fence.
00:16:31Sorry, did you, uh, say Crenshaw?
00:16:33I did.
00:16:34Why? You know him?
00:16:35Yeah, I do.
00:16:36Uh, the last time I was here, their border was 15 to 20 miles west of here.
00:16:41Ugh.
00:16:41Now, the Crenshaw's, they own just about all of the valley, been buying it up ranch by ranch.
00:16:47Yeah, I had no idea.
00:16:50Hey, Lexi, uh, do you ride?
00:16:53Uh, yeah.
00:16:55Ah, well, you know, if you want, you're welcome to head out into the pasture and talk to Kobe out there.
00:16:59You could take Black Diamond. I was just getting ready to exercise her anyway.
00:17:03Um, I don't know.
00:17:06All right, well, suit yourself, but you'd be helping me out.
00:17:09I gotta get the stall mucked, and she needs some exercise.
00:17:15Y'all have a beautiful view here.
00:17:17Yep, the best view in tube back.
00:17:20That's why people keep trying to buy it out from under us.
00:17:22You know what, I think I will, uh, actually take you up on that ride.
00:17:37Ready to go for a ride?
00:17:38Huh?
00:17:39Yeah.
00:17:52I don't already know.
00:17:58So I get up in the morning.
00:18:01I'll saddle up the day.
00:18:05Kick her in the side.
00:18:09She carries me away.
00:18:11I'll take you every single day.
00:18:17And put it to the turn of my way.
00:18:21It's all about faith and fire.
00:18:24Love.
00:18:25The life of a driven man.
00:18:28The life.
00:18:30The life of a driven man.
00:18:33Hey there.
00:18:45You're here to help?
00:18:46My guess is you are, seeing as how you're on Black Diamond.
00:18:50And Mimi doesn't just let anyone ride Black Diamond.
00:18:53Oh, yeah?
00:18:55No disrespect, but I told Daddy he didn't need to call anyone in.
00:18:59I'm a good wrangler.
00:19:00He just doesn't let me get too close to the cows.
00:19:03It's nice to see a lady cowboy, though.
00:19:05Other than my Mimi, I don't see that too often.
00:19:07Is your dad Kobe Mason?
00:19:08Yeah.
00:19:09I'm Abby.
00:19:10Lexi.
00:19:11It's nice to meet you.
00:19:12Did you rope that calf yourself?
00:19:14Yep.
00:19:16But she would have come without me roping her.
00:19:19She's my bud.
00:19:20She looks like a good buddy.
00:19:22I helped birth her.
00:19:23I thought I'd fight her when her mama got an infection.
00:19:25But she's what got us in this mess to begin with.
00:19:29Ah, she's a wanderer, huh?
00:19:31Nah.
00:19:33Just curious.
00:19:35That's why I like her so much.
00:19:37Oh, yeah?
00:19:38Her mama went after her, and a bunch of others followed, and...
00:19:42Well, here we are.
00:19:46Looks like you're a bit too late to get the job done.
00:19:48You stalking me, city girl?
00:19:50She's not a city girl.
00:19:58I can tell.
00:19:59That's Lexi Daddy.
00:20:00Mimi called her to help.
00:20:02Uh, no, that's not exactly...
00:20:04Wait.
00:20:06You're Kobe Mason?
00:20:07It's your aunt, Lexi.
00:20:13Jack?
00:20:16Well, damn.
00:20:17Hey, Wilson.
00:20:18Prodigal sister returns.
00:20:20Sister?
00:20:21Is it Alexandra Crenshaw?
00:20:23I go by Lexi.
00:20:24Her name's Lexi.
00:20:25What are you doing here?
00:20:27If I only decide to come home for Christmas, that's sweet.
00:20:31Dad'll be thrilled.
00:20:33I'm...
00:20:34I'm here on business.
00:20:36With him?
00:20:40As fun as this all is, I gotta get back to work.
00:20:44Jack, maybe you try and keep your cows on your side of the fence, or pay someone to fix that
00:20:49damn gate.
00:20:50Better yet, could just sell the entire ranch to me.
00:21:00Take this fence down altogether.
00:21:01Thanks for the help, Walton.
00:21:07Jack?
00:21:09Won't happen again.
00:21:11Kobe, can I help you?
00:21:12I'm fine.
00:21:13Had enough help from the Crenshaw's for one day.
00:21:15Abby, darling, come on.
00:21:17Jack, I barely recognized you.
00:21:25You're so grown up.
00:21:26Yeah.
00:21:27That's what happens when you disappear for a decade.
00:21:31Well, maybe we can catch up while I'm here and...
00:21:34Oh, what?
00:21:38Okay, then.
00:21:39See you around.
00:21:40Or not.
00:21:41Or not.
00:21:41Kobe, wait.
00:21:47Can I talk to you for a second?
00:21:49Sure, you can talk.
00:21:51Pretty sure you're not gonna like my answer.
00:21:52You don't even know what I'm gonna say.
00:21:54Sure I do.
00:21:55You gotta try to get me to say yes to selling my ranch.
00:21:58You gotta use your tactics, which make you incredible at what you do.
00:22:03This isn't no dance.
00:22:04This is my life.
00:22:06It's my legacy.
00:22:06And no matter what you say, what you do, it's gotta be a no.
00:22:12I'm not selling this place, especially to no Crenshaw's.
00:22:14I'm not working for...
00:22:15Harrison and Walton Crenshaw have spent the better part of the last decade running off
00:22:20all our neighbors out of town.
00:22:23Ain't no way in hell I'm selling to the Crenshaw's.
00:22:25I'm not working for my dad, Kobe.
00:22:27Believe me, all right?
00:22:28I'm here on behalf of a development company called Sky Islands, and if you would just give
00:22:32me the chance to make my case, you could see that this could be really good for all
00:22:35of you. It's an incredibly generous offer, a good deal above market value.
00:22:41Make sure you walk Black Diamond back to the barn.
00:22:44She likes to take off and run.
00:22:46It's not good for her.
00:22:47Well, look what the cat dragged in.
00:23:09Hey, Daddy.
00:23:09Well, you're looking well, Alexandra.
00:23:18It's Lexi, Dad.
00:23:19I prefer to be called Lexi.
00:23:20You know that.
00:23:22Alexandra's a beautiful name.
00:23:23Your mother chose it before you were born.
00:23:26So, what brings you out?
00:23:28I need a place to stay for a few days.
00:23:30I wouldn't ask, but all the hotels are booked, and I've got some business here, so...
00:23:34I'm not surprised.
00:23:35All our rooms are booked up, too, Christmas season and all.
00:23:37You're a hotel now?
00:23:38A lot of things have changed since you left.
00:23:42I can stay in the bunkhouse.
00:23:44Now, why would you do that?
00:23:46Stay in the house.
00:23:46Your room is free.
00:23:48The bunkhouse is fine.
00:23:49You stay in the bunkhouse, you're gonna have to earn your keep just like all the other ranch
00:23:52hands.
00:23:53Yeah, that won't be a problem.
00:23:56Just stay in your room, Alexandra.
00:23:57No, Dad, I don't want to get in your way.
00:24:03Do you remember where it is?
00:24:04Yep.
00:24:08Hey, uh, I'm Lexi.
00:24:18I'm gonna be staying here for a few days, helping out.
00:24:25Uh, grubs on.
00:24:26You look so much like her.
00:24:48Yeah, I'm, I'm here, uh, you could take the top if you want.
00:24:57It's either here or in the common room, but you don't want that gunner snores like a train.
00:25:01Why do you stay out here?
00:25:04Gets too crowded during the holiday seasons.
00:25:06I prefer to be here with the guys.
00:25:08Yeah, that makes sense.
00:25:09Yeah, go grab a plate if you're hungry and let me know if you need anything.
00:25:14Okay.
00:25:15Uh, Jack?
00:25:17Yeah?
00:25:23You're my sister.
00:25:23Lexi!
00:25:44Hey there, Abby.
00:25:45What are y'all doing here?
00:25:46Daddy just started a maverick for Mr. Crenshaw.
00:25:49He'll make a real nice Christmas gift for the ranch.
00:25:52Started?
00:25:52You mean broke, right?
00:25:53No, she means started.
00:25:55I don't break horses.
00:25:56I start them.
00:25:58For my dad?
00:25:59For anyone.
00:26:00Gotta keep the lights on somehow.
00:26:02Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:26:04Easy, girl.
00:26:05You're okay.
00:26:06You're right here.
00:26:07That's it.
00:26:09That's it.
00:26:09My daddy's magic.
00:26:11I can see that.
00:26:13Is that my favorite cowgirl?
00:26:15Mary!
00:26:17Oh.
00:26:18Happy Merry Christmas Eve, Eve, Eve, Eve, Eve, Eve, Eve.
00:26:21Oh, we're on countdown mode now, are we?
00:26:24Morning, Mr. Crenshaw.
00:26:26How's my filly doing?
00:26:27Yeah, she took the saddle easy.
00:26:29I'd like to get her warmed up before you try her out.
00:26:31Of course.
00:26:33So you settling in, Alexandra?
00:26:37Yeah.
00:26:38Good, good.
00:26:39Listen, the fence on the southern pasture needs checking.
00:26:42Kobe knows where it is.
00:26:43You don't mind showing her, do you?
00:26:44Yeah, sure.
00:26:46Hey, there was a calf born late last night.
00:26:48You wouldn't want to come check on her with me, would you?
00:26:51Can I?
00:26:54It's all right with you.
00:26:55It's all right with me.
00:26:56Come along, cowgirl.
00:27:05Come on.
00:27:06Buckle.
00:27:07Deanna.
00:27:09You need some help?
00:27:09No, I don't need any help.
00:27:11I don't think Salsa would agree.
00:27:13Whoa, whoa, easy, boy.
00:27:16Easy.
00:27:18He senses your stress.
00:27:19I know.
00:27:24Sorry.
00:27:26Nothing to be sorry about.
00:27:29The main part of the house has changed since I left, but this part of the ranch is the same.
00:27:33Yeah, but if Walton has his way, it ain't gonna stay the same.
00:27:37Something's never changed.
00:27:38My brother, Walton, being one of them.
00:27:42You still got ride in you, though.
00:27:45Thanks.
00:27:45I love that.
00:27:46What year did you win, champ?
00:27:48Was it 94 or 95?
00:27:4995.
00:27:50What did you?
00:27:50That's a big deal.
00:27:52Junior world champion barrel racer in our hometown.
00:27:55We all kept track.
00:27:57I can't believe I didn't recognize you the other night.
00:28:00Well, I've changed a bit since I was 12.
00:28:02So I'm confused.
00:28:05Yesterday you said you'd never work for your dad.
00:28:09Yeah, well, I didn't need a place to stay yesterday, but my potential seller is proving to be a bit more challenging than I thought.
00:28:16You better tuck in, because I'm not selling.
00:28:18It's in my blood.
00:28:20Third generation rancher.
00:28:21Ain't no amount of money gonna give me to give that up.
00:28:24I get it.
00:28:25Trust me.
00:28:27You left, didn't you?
00:28:29Because my dad named my brother his successors.
00:28:32Shut me out of the family business.
00:28:34Two months after my mom's funeral, so...
00:28:36That was nice.
00:28:38I said some things, he said some things, and then...
00:28:41I took off and...
00:28:43Never looked back since.
00:28:45Jeez, yeah.
00:28:47Family's hard.
00:28:49My dad and Abby seem close.
00:28:51He's always had a sweet spot for her.
00:28:54Yeah, well, I've never heard anyone call him Harry.
00:28:57She just blurted it out one day.
00:29:01We used to be close like that.
00:29:03Especially when we were training.
00:29:05He was, uh, a lot warmer then.
00:29:07I wish I had more time to train, Abby.
00:29:11She loves it.
00:29:12She's good at it, too.
00:29:13But with all the responsibility at the ranch, I just...
00:29:18I guess I got a New Year's resolution I gotta work on, huh?
00:29:21Yeah, don't we all.
00:29:24Ugh, silence here.
00:29:26I forgot how deafening it is.
00:29:27They did tell you this would take longer than one night.
00:29:34Yeah, I know.
00:29:36How's it going?
00:29:37Well, I am staying at my estranged father's ranch hand bunkhouse sharing a bunk bed with my little brother, so...
00:29:44How do you think it's going?
00:29:46I was not expecting you to say any of those words.
00:29:49Are you okay, Lex?
00:29:50Yeah, I'll be fine.
00:29:51I just gotta stick to my work and I'll get through it.
00:29:55I'm here if you need me.
00:29:57I know.
00:29:58Bye.
00:29:59Oh, this smells good.
00:30:11Yeah, your coffee's over there.
00:30:12Oh, bless you, little brother.
00:30:14Can I, uh, help you with anything?
00:30:22No, thanks.
00:30:25Learned that lesson the hard way.
00:30:29Come on, that was one time.
00:30:33Two ingredients of the same color do not make those two ingredients interchangeable.
00:30:38Yes, they were very salty sugar cookies.
00:30:41Surprised you remember that.
00:30:42It was my second great holiday party.
00:30:45I was scarred for life.
00:30:47Come on.
00:30:49Look, I've learned a few things since then, so what can I help with?
00:30:52You could chop up those peppers.
00:30:55Great.
00:31:00So, how are you?
00:31:04Like, how the last thing you've been, or how am I this morning?
00:31:09Both.
00:31:10Either.
00:31:13Fine.
00:31:17I tried to call a few times.
00:31:20I know.
00:31:21Jack, I had to leave.
00:31:22I couldn't stay.
00:31:24Okay.
00:31:28Are you dating anyone?
00:31:30Nope.
00:31:31Okay, can you give me something?
00:31:32Like, anything?
00:31:34Why?
00:31:35What do you mean, why?
00:31:36I want to know how you are.
00:31:39You sure about that?
00:31:39Because you came all the way out here, and the only reason we're in the same room right now is because you couldn't find a hotel room.
00:31:47I don't really feel like making small talk with you, if I'm being honest.
00:31:59Do you want me to go?
00:32:00Those tomatoes need chopping, too.
00:32:05Hi, Lexi.
00:32:25Hey, Abby.
00:32:28What's she doing?
00:32:28Harry needed my help on something today.
00:32:32Hey, honey, why don't you, uh, head down to the southern fence there where they fixed it up, and let me know if it needs tightening up, okay?
00:32:44Hey, looking good out here, Alexandra.
00:32:47She's a cute kid.
00:32:52Yeah, she's natural.
00:32:54Just like you.
00:32:56Is she?
00:32:59So, what do you think of the place, Vita?
00:33:01Chance to look around?
00:33:02You want my opinion now?
00:33:05It's just a question.
00:33:06I liked it better when it was just a ranch.
00:33:11I don't know why it also has to be a tourist attraction.
00:33:13Well, Walton has made some changes.
00:33:15You know, it's not easy to keep a working ranch live these days.
00:33:20Hmm.
00:33:20There's always a way.
00:33:22It's managed, right?
00:33:24Yeah.
00:33:27So, you have any plans to stay for Christmas?
00:33:29Oh, I hope not.
00:33:32I just mean I'm hoping to get my business done sooner than that.
00:33:36Well, you're welcome to stay.
00:33:38I'm sure I can.
00:33:41Jack would like it if you did.
00:33:44Jack would?
00:33:45He's your brother, Alexandra.
00:33:46They both are, and you haven't given them a time of day for years.
00:33:50An invitation drenched in guilt doesn't generally work with me, Dad.
00:33:53I'd like you to stay.
00:33:54You're here, you should stay for Christmas.
00:33:58I'm willing to let bygones be bygones.
00:34:01I'm willing to forgive you.
00:34:04Unbelievable.
00:34:05You cut me out of my family legacy for being female, and you're willing to forgive me.
00:34:10That's not what happened.
00:34:11Ranching's men's work.
00:34:12It's not for you.
00:34:12Well, let's not exaggerate, Alexandra.
00:34:14Lexi!
00:34:15My name is Lexi, Dad.
00:34:16I've asked to be called Lexi since I was 15.
00:34:17I'm trying to have a civil conversation with you, and you just keep getting emotional.
00:34:20Okay.
00:34:22I'm not doing this.
00:34:23Come on.
00:34:36Come on.
00:34:37Come on.
00:34:38Come on.
00:34:39Come on.
00:34:41Let's go.
00:34:42There we go.
00:34:43There we go.
00:34:44Come on.
00:34:44Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:34:46Easy, easy, easy.
00:34:48Okay.
00:34:49Let you rest.
00:34:50Let you rest.
00:34:52Good girl.
00:34:53Good girl.
00:34:54All right.
00:34:55Come on.
00:34:56Pick it up.
00:34:57Oh, let's pick it up.
00:34:59Go.
00:35:00Come on.
00:35:01Come on.
00:35:02Come on.
00:35:04Good girl.
00:35:05Well, that's what I wanted.
00:35:09Thought I made it pretty clear.
00:35:11Not selling this place.
00:35:12You did.
00:35:13My dad sent me over to check on Summer Shade's progress.
00:35:16Oh.
00:35:17She's good.
00:35:18She's just an introvert.
00:35:21An introvert?
00:35:22She doesn't wear her heart on her sleeve, but she'll let you know when she's bothered.
00:35:26She just doesn't broadcast it.
00:35:28But if you don't pay attention to her cues, she'll explode eventually out of frustration.
00:35:35That's probably what's happening with Harrison.
00:35:37She's not listening to her.
00:35:39Wow.
00:35:41What?
00:35:42You just said my dad's not listening to her, not seeing her.
00:35:45That's why she won't work with him.
00:35:48That sound familiar to you?
00:35:51You have no idea.
00:35:54Hey, uh, why don't you grab a few of those apples and go on in with me?
00:36:00Oh, no, I don't think my energy is the energy for an unruly horse right now.
00:36:05Trust me.
00:36:07Grab some of the apples.
00:36:09Come on.
00:36:14All right.
00:36:16Now give her one.
00:36:20There you go.
00:36:21That's a good girl.
00:36:28And give her another one.
00:36:37Oh, gosh, she's so amazing.
00:36:40Yeah, she is.
00:36:41Hey.
00:36:41They all are.
00:36:44They're better than us.
00:36:46You got to meet them where they are.
00:36:48You can't try to make them be what you want them to be.
00:36:51They want safety.
00:36:52They want space.
00:36:54And you just want to feel like they can trust us.
00:36:56What were you doing with her when I came in?
00:37:00I was getting her used to allowing me to put pressure on her.
00:37:03Then I'd release that pressure once she relaxed and connected with me.
00:37:10I'm really good at this.
00:37:12I know.
00:37:12I got my own superpowers going on.
00:37:15Oh, okay.
00:37:18To be honest, horses are a lot easier for me than people.
00:37:23We're always trying to control situations, the future.
00:37:27But with horses, you can't get them anywhere until you stop trying to control them.
00:37:35They force us to surrender.
00:37:38To relax.
00:37:40To be present.
00:37:42To let go.
00:37:46Do you think she's jealous?
00:37:50She's fine.
00:37:52Come here, baby.
00:37:57Horseshoe Christmas tree.
00:38:15Like the one Mom made for us growing up.
00:38:19Yeah, I saw Dad throughout the old one, so...
00:38:22The only problem is I ran out of shoes and I need some for the base.
00:38:24I'm sure there's some extra in the storage shed.
00:38:27Did you check there?
00:38:29Uh, no, but I will.
00:38:32Thanks.
00:38:39Do you need something?
00:38:41What's your deal?
00:38:43What do you mean?
00:38:44Did you change your mind on refusing your inheritance and now you want it?
00:38:47I don't want anything from you or Dad, okay?
00:38:49You don't have to worry.
00:38:50That's what you said ten years ago.
00:38:52But ten years ago, this ranch wasn't worth a fraction of what it's worth right now.
00:38:57Thanks to me.
00:38:58Yeah, I really don't think you should be bragging about turning this place into cowboy Disneyland.
00:39:04Family ranches are a thing with the past, Lex.
00:39:07There's no money in them anymore.
00:39:10Say what you will about tourism, but I got this place back up and running.
00:39:14Me.
00:39:14So what's the play here?
00:39:19There's no play.
00:39:20I'm here working on something that has nothing to do with you.
00:39:23With Kobe Mason?
00:39:24It's none of your business.
00:39:25Everything.
00:39:26And Miss Valley is my business.
00:39:31Wow.
00:39:32You sound just like Dad.
00:39:34There's a reason he chose what he did?
00:39:35Can we not, Walton?
00:39:37Do you have another buyer?
00:39:37Because if that's why you're here, you might as well just go home right now.
00:39:43It's a dead end.
00:39:45No matter how far into death that man gets, he's never going to sell.
00:39:48Believe me, I've been trying for years.
00:39:50Okay, are you done?
00:39:51I need to get some shoes.
00:39:52Hey, Simone.
00:39:59It's me.
00:40:00I need you to do a little digging for me.
00:40:03Check to see if the Mason Ranch financials have recently gone into debt.
00:40:09Oh, there you are.
00:40:12Sorry, that wasn't for you.
00:40:13I'm just talking to horseshoes.
00:40:18Anyway, one more thing.
00:40:19Can you check to see if my family is associated with this development company at all?
00:40:23It's, uh, it's important.
00:40:27All right, bye.
00:40:30Okay.
00:40:31Let's see if you're going to work.
00:40:35And I'm still talking to horseshoes, so that's great.
00:40:49Hey, you are just the girl I was looking for.
00:41:17What you got going on over here?
00:41:19Tulip loves to be brushed.
00:41:21Yeah?
00:41:22Shouldn't she be out in the pasture with her mama?
00:41:24Oh, I'll take her right back.
00:41:27Sometimes you just gotta take a break from your parents, you know?
00:41:31Yes.
00:41:31I do know.
00:41:33So I hear you are a pretty good barrel racer.
00:41:37Clear up your seat.
00:41:49There you go.
00:41:50Okay.
00:41:51Yes.
00:42:00There you go.
00:42:02Great.
00:42:02When you shift your seat over to make that turn, Black Diamond has to compensate for the imbalance that you're creating.
00:42:09That's when you'll hit the barrel.
00:42:11Okay.
00:42:11Try it again.
00:42:12Keep your hips square, and then make sure your hands don't leave where?
00:42:15In this little box right here.
00:42:16Right.
00:42:18What's going on here?
00:42:20They've been at it for over an hour now.
00:42:23I have never seen Abby so happy.
00:42:26You know she's a crenshaw.
00:42:27I know.
00:42:28Trying to get us to sell.
00:42:29I know, and I'm just saying that she's good with Abby.
00:42:33That's not part of her job description.
00:42:35Pull too much on those reins is going to eat away at your time.
00:42:37Make him move with your legs and your seat, not your hands.
00:42:40Got it.
00:42:41All right.
00:42:41Let's try it.
00:42:42And she really knows what she's talking about.
00:42:44You know, I think I remember her as a kid, you know, riding through the pasture.
00:42:48Yeah, she was really good.
00:42:50Even back then.
00:42:52There you go.
00:42:53That was perfect.
00:42:54Come on.
00:42:56So much better.
00:42:58Did it feel better?
00:42:58Yes, that was amazing.
00:43:01Good.
00:43:01That's really good.
00:43:02Proud of you.
00:43:03Good job.
00:43:04And then next time we'll work on looking for the next barrels, all right?
00:43:08There you go.
00:43:09Good girl.
00:43:13Wow.
00:43:14Good job.
00:43:16Put it there.
00:43:18Tire up.
00:43:23Next time.
00:43:24Hey, Daddy.
00:43:25Did you see me?
00:43:25I need.
00:43:26Good work.
00:43:27Lexi gave me a few pointers.
00:43:29Oh, yeah?
00:43:29Did you know she was board junior champion?
00:43:31I did know that, Abs.
00:43:33Why don't you give Black Diamond some treats?
00:43:35She's been working hard.
00:43:36Okay.
00:43:39What are you trying to do, Lexi?
00:43:40There is no ulterior motive.
00:43:42I promise.
00:43:43I found a box of some of my old stuff.
00:43:45He told me he didn't have to have a trainer, so...
00:43:47So who?
00:43:48I like her.
00:43:49You like her?
00:43:50Come on.
00:43:51She's a cool kid, and she's a great student.
00:43:54Well, I can't argue with that, but I can't have you train her for free.
00:43:58Oh, no, I don't want any comfort dinner tomorrow.
00:44:00It's Christmas Eve, Eve, Eve.
00:44:02Um.
00:44:03Will you accept payment in the form of Christmas lasagna?
00:44:06It's her favorite.
00:44:08It's a lot better than it sounds.
00:44:10You know what?
00:44:11I think a Christmas lasagna payment sounds both fair and festive.
00:44:15As long as you guys don't mind me crashing your special dinner.
00:44:17Please, crash.
00:44:18Daddy and Mimi are so boring.
00:44:20Hey.
00:44:21Cowboying suits you, sis.
00:44:35There's nothing better.
00:44:37Hey.
00:44:38Dad wants us at the house tomorrow for a holiday family breakfast.
00:44:427 a.m.
00:44:44Lexi.
00:44:45Don't be late.
00:44:49I suppose I don't have any say in that.
00:44:51Nope.
00:44:52That's what I thought.
00:44:55You looked real happy out there.
00:44:57I love it.
00:44:58I love it so much.
00:44:59You know, Dad never let me wrangle, so.
00:45:02Probably just trying to protect you.
00:45:04That or some good old-fashioned misogyny.
00:45:07Go easy on him.
00:45:09You kidding me?
00:45:11I'm not saying what you did was right, but you didn't see him after you took off.
00:45:16Lost his wife and his daughter in this span of two months.
00:45:18I think he's got real dark for a while there.
00:45:23I'm sorry, Jack.
00:45:25Just in the past.
00:45:26No, you were just a kid.
00:45:28You should have tried harder to stay in touch.
00:45:30I shouldn't have disappeared like that, and I'm sorry.
00:45:32No, you shouldn't have.
00:45:34Well, what can I do to make things right?
00:45:38Stick around for a bit, maybe?
00:45:39For starters?
00:45:40It's for Christmas.
00:45:46Come on.
00:45:54So they're underwater?
00:45:56Yep.
00:45:57Looks like he took out a second mortgage six months ago and has been late on the last two payments, at least.
00:46:02Why wouldn't he just sell?
00:46:04Come on, Lex.
00:46:05You know why.
00:46:06Yeah, I know, but he's got a daughter and a mother to take care of.
00:46:09I mean, what if they go under?
00:46:10All the more reason to get him to sell.
00:46:12Right.
00:46:13And as for the other thing, I looked into the Sky Islands Corporation.
00:46:17Crenshaw name isn't anywhere.
00:46:19It operates out of Minnesota.
00:46:20There's no connection to your family.
00:46:23Okay.
00:46:24Perfect.
00:46:26Bye.
00:46:26She's here.
00:46:36Happy Merry Christmas Evee-beef.
00:46:39Put this on.
00:46:40It's mandatory.
00:46:41Oh.
00:46:42Okay.
00:46:44There she is.
00:46:46Hi.
00:46:47Hi, Abby.
00:46:48Give her some space.
00:46:49Oh, no, I don't mind.
00:46:51You all look very festive.
00:46:53Daddy even put his good shirt on.
00:46:55It's a good shirt.
00:46:59Beer?
00:47:00Uh, yeah.
00:47:01Sure.
00:47:02I remembered you liked IPAs.
00:47:05Uh, same.
00:47:08Well, are you just going to stand there gawking, or are you going to open one up for her?
00:47:18Thanks.
00:47:20Can I help with something, or...?
00:47:22Um, yeah, sure.
00:47:23Why don't you grab a knife and maybe chop up those cucumbers for me?
00:47:26And Abby, if you want those cupcakes after dinner, you better get going with batter.
00:47:36And no one tried to help?
00:47:38Well, what were they going to do?
00:47:40Trigger was bucking like a lunatic.
00:47:42And Mimi was only ten.
00:47:44A whole year younger than me.
00:47:46Daddy wouldn't even let me get too close to a cult who hasn't started yet.
00:47:49Because I'm not eager to recreate that specific moment with you.
00:47:53Your Mimi's lucky she survived.
00:47:56So wait, you're on the side of the road, and people are getting out of the cars to watch?
00:47:59I managed to stay in his seat until he ran out of juice.
00:48:03And then I got him turned around, and we went back up in the hills with the rest of them.
00:48:06And everyone cheered and clocked for her.
00:48:08Don't forget your favorite part of the story, Mom.
00:48:12Tell her about the time you and Trigger leapt off that cliff to rope that cow.
00:48:14Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, okay, okay.
00:48:16I think Lexi's heard enough of Mimi's glory days.
00:48:19Oh, I love it.
00:48:20Why don't you two clear the table and go get those special ornaments that we saved for Lexi,
00:48:25and we'll finish decorating the tree.
00:48:27Oh.
00:48:28Oh, no, no, no, no.
00:48:29You stay.
00:48:29You relax.
00:48:31I don't know if I should leave you two together.
00:48:34Go on.
00:48:36Get out of here.
00:48:38So, what's the offer?
00:48:43Oh, um, I was under the impression the ranch was in Kobe's name.
00:48:47Oh, it is, but he's never going to look at that offer, no matter how many lessons you give Abby
00:48:53or how much he likes you.
00:48:57He's just too attached.
00:48:59He's proud.
00:49:00He's sentimental.
00:49:00He's sentimental.
00:49:04Are you telling me you want him to sell?
00:49:06Do I want to leave the home that his great-grandfather settled on?
00:49:11No, of course not.
00:49:12I love it here.
00:49:13We all do.
00:49:14But I'm not getting any younger, and I hate to see my son so stressed.
00:49:21My husband, he made one bad investment a while back, and we've been paying for it ever since.
00:49:26Then he passed suddenly, a couple years ago.
00:49:31I'm so sorry, Millie.
00:49:33It happens.
00:49:34You live, you die.
00:49:37And my husband, he really lived, but he was crap with money.
00:49:41And now with the purchase price of cattle going straight down into the gutter,
00:49:45and all these rich out-towners moving in and raising up our taxes.
00:49:51If we could get one in flux of cash, we would bounce right back.
00:49:57But, um, I shouldn't be telling you this.
00:49:59Millie, I want what's best for you, for all of you.
00:50:03The offer I have from my buyer is incredibly generous.
00:50:06It'll set you all up for life, but if Kobe won't even look at the paperwork...
00:50:10You let me worry about Kobe.
00:50:12But you have to promise me one thing, that Crenshaw is not the buyer.
00:50:16No one, Walton, you would probably put a damn spot right here where we're sitting.
00:50:20And that is why we have been holding out all these years.
00:50:23I know that's important to you.
00:50:25It's not my family.
00:50:27I promise.
00:50:29Okay.
00:50:30You send me the paperwork.
00:50:34One more thing.
00:50:35You be careful with his heart.
00:50:37Hers, too.
00:50:40Millie, I'm not, I mean, I...
00:50:42I don't even live here.
00:50:45Exactly.
00:50:47Her mama walked out on him when she was still a baby, and it broke him really, really bad.
00:50:56So I'm just asking you, please, please be careful.
00:51:05If you please, it's time for the main event of Christmas EVV.
00:51:08Let us retire to the living room for desserts and decorations.
00:51:16The grown-up drink's right there.
00:51:18I'm too young to serve them for you guys, but please partake if you wish.
00:51:22And Christmas cupcakes prepared by yours truly are here for your pleasure.
00:51:27Yum.
00:51:27Maestro?
00:51:29Maestro?
00:51:35Maestro?
00:51:39Do you, Daddy?
00:51:41Yeah.
00:51:42Okay.
00:51:43Sorry.
00:51:44This Christmas
00:51:53All I want is you
00:52:00Cause near you I found
00:52:05A love
00:52:08So true
00:52:10Lights on the tree
00:52:17Lights on the tree
00:52:17And this angel next to me
00:52:22It warms me through and through
00:52:27Cause all I want is you
00:52:32This Christmas
00:52:37No, don't stop.
00:52:42I'll put her to bed.
00:52:44Okay, should I?
00:52:45Do I have any?
00:52:45No, no, no.
00:52:46Please, please, please.
00:52:47Don't go.
00:52:48Just be a minute.
00:52:49Okay.
00:52:51I won't.
00:52:51Hey.
00:52:52Hey.
00:52:53Play Rudolph, Daddy.
00:52:55No.
00:52:57No, hey, come on.
00:52:58Gotta go to bed.
00:53:01Was I out?
00:53:03Just a little.
00:53:05Well, it's way past my bedtime.
00:53:09Good night, Lexi.
00:53:11Come anytime.
00:53:12Thank you so much for a beautiful night.
00:53:15Door's always open.
00:53:19I'm going to be back in just a minute.
00:53:22I'm going to put her to bed.
00:53:23Okay.
00:53:27Come on, get it.
00:53:37You don't have to do that.
00:53:40No, it's no problem.
00:53:42I'm happy to.
00:53:43Then let me help.
00:53:47Okay.
00:53:49My mom loves you.
00:53:51Yeah.
00:53:52Well, I'm female and I have a pulse, so.
00:53:56Abby's more discerning, but she loves you too.
00:54:02This family, this home, this place, it's, uh, it's really special.
00:54:11I'm lucky.
00:54:12No, it's more than luck.
00:54:13You've worked hard for it.
00:54:15I haven't felt this in a really long time.
00:54:18Felt what?
00:54:19Family.
00:54:25It's, uh, it's beautiful.
00:54:29Jealous.
00:54:29I'm jealous.
00:54:39Are there any other, uh, chores that need to do and I kinda, kinda don't want to leave?
00:54:44Then don't.
00:54:54Are you sure you want to do this?
00:54:55I don't, um, I don't even know how long I'm staying.
00:54:59You're here now.
00:55:02I want this.
00:55:06I want this.
00:55:13Bye.
00:55:15I would, uh, invite you back to my place, but, uh, I'm currently sharing a bunk bed with my little brother, so.
00:55:24I prefer rolling the hay that doesn't involve actual hay.
00:55:54You're a cowgirl wedding.
00:55:56Merry Christmas to me.
00:56:24I'm a cowgirl wedding.
00:56:34Stalker.
00:56:36No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:56:39Don't go.
00:56:40You just called me a stalker.
00:56:42I like it when you stalk me.
00:56:44Good morning.
00:56:54Merry Christmas, Evie.
00:56:56No, no, no, no.
00:56:58Not you, too.
00:57:01I like you in my bed.
00:57:03Mmm.
00:57:04This is not a bed.
00:57:06Details.
00:57:10Daddy, are you in there?
00:57:12Hide.
00:57:13Dad!
00:57:14Back there.
00:57:23Dad!
00:57:25Hey, just a sec, hon.
00:57:27I was just getting on top of some work.
00:57:30I'll be right out, darling.
00:57:32I got her to go back in the house, but you're gonna...
00:57:47Are you going through my stuff?
00:57:49No, I was putting my clothes on and they were just laying out there.
00:57:54This is none of your business.
00:57:55I wasn't going through your stuff, okay?
00:57:56I'm not the enemy here.
00:58:02I've seen this happen so many times, Kobe.
00:58:05Folks don't wanna let go and then they go under and they're left with nothing.
00:58:09I'm not gonna lose the only home I've ever known.
00:58:14It'd break Evie's heart.
00:58:16Okay, I hear you, but what's the plan?
00:58:19I'm gonna take cattle to market after Christmas.
00:58:26That'll be enough to cover the mortgage.
00:58:28It's the worst time of year to sell.
00:58:29You're gonna get bottom of the barrel prices.
00:58:31Yeah, I know.
00:58:33But it'll do.
00:58:34For this month.
00:58:35But then what about next month and the next month after that?
00:58:37You don't have to worry about it, all right?
00:58:39Just leave it.
00:58:40But I do worry, Kobe.
00:58:41I care about you.
00:58:42About all of you.
00:58:43You could start over with this money.
00:58:46What am I gonna do, Lexi?
00:58:48Horses are my life.
00:58:49Ranching is my life.
00:58:51I don't want money.
00:58:53I wanna work.
00:58:55This is the only life Abbie's ever known.
00:58:57Have you thought about what will actually happen to her if you don't accept the reality of the situation?
00:59:00I said leave it, Lexi.
00:59:02Okay?
00:59:03I don't need you to tell me what's best for my daughter.
00:59:05I'm sorry, Kobe.
00:59:07I'm not selling.
00:59:08That's that.
00:59:09I know that means you don't get your commission.
00:59:11And you're probably gonna go back home.
00:59:12So...
00:59:22Okay.
00:59:23Okay?
00:59:25Yeah.
00:59:26Screw it.
00:59:27I give up.
00:59:28Don't sell.
00:59:29Keep fighting, Kobe.
00:59:31This land, this life, it's...
00:59:34It's worth it.
00:59:36What?
00:59:37Your family.
00:59:38Your legacy.
00:59:39It's...
00:59:40It's everything.
00:59:41I'm still broken to pieces from losing mine, so...
00:59:42I get it.
00:59:43Alright, I'll tell the buyer it's done.
00:59:44Okay?
00:59:45Yeah.
00:59:46Okay.
00:59:47Yeah.
00:59:48Okay.
00:59:49I will bring it again.
00:59:50I gotta get back inside and make happy breakfast.
00:59:54Okay?
00:59:55Yeah.
00:59:56Okay.
00:59:57I will bring it again.
00:59:58I will bring it again.
00:59:59I gotta get back inside and make happy breakfast.
01:00:05Okay.
01:00:06What time is it?
01:00:08What time is it?
01:00:15She's up to something.
01:00:18Alton, she's not some villain.
01:00:19She's our sister.
01:00:21And she has reason to want to screw us over.
01:00:24Has she told you what her business is here?
01:00:26Nope.
01:00:27I didn't ask.
01:00:28Because she may have another buyer.
01:00:29And if Kobe goes with her, then they could snake this real estate deal right out from under.
01:00:33Told her 7am, right?
01:00:34Yes.
01:00:35Dad, I don't think you're taking this seriously.
01:00:37Sorry.
01:00:38Sorry, I blinked.
01:00:44Sorry.
01:00:45Where were you last night?
01:00:47I went out.
01:00:48All night?
01:00:50Walton?
01:00:51Dad?
01:00:52Alexandra?
01:00:53Oh, Lexi.
01:00:54You like to be called Lexi now.
01:00:55For the past 20 years or so, yes.
01:00:58Want some breakfast?
01:00:59Oh, no, I'm good, thanks.
01:01:01You should eat something.
01:01:02I'm not hungry.
01:01:05Well, I'm glad you're home for Christmas.
01:01:07I haven't had all three of you under the same roof in quite some time now.
01:01:11And now that you're here, I'd like to discuss some changes I'm making to the family business.
01:01:16What kind of changes?
01:01:18I'm not a part of the family business, so I don't really know what I'm doing here.
01:01:22My thoughts exactly.
01:01:23I'll get you that.
01:01:24Jack?
01:01:25I'd like you to take over management of the working ranch.
01:01:29Yes, sir.
01:01:30I won't let you down.
01:01:32I'm pretty sure that I've done a great job of keeping track of both the dude ranch and the working ranch on my own.
01:01:38Well, it's time for Jack to step up.
01:01:39And quite frankly, he's got the heart for it, and you don't.
01:01:42Focus on your strengths.
01:01:43Drawing in people and expanding the property.
01:01:47Well, I was trying, but maybe we should ask Lexi what she was doing here with Kobe Mason.
01:01:53Maybe we shouldn't.
01:01:54Maybe we shouldn't.
01:01:55Well, I'm gonna get back to work since none of this has anything to do with me.
01:01:59I've got a role I'm setting up for you, but I'm just working out the details right now.
01:02:03What kind of role?
01:02:04She's made it very clear that she wants nothing to do with this business.
01:02:08That's not how any of it went down, Walton, and you know that.
01:02:10Guys, can we just have a nice meal together?
01:02:12Okay, I'm gonna go.
01:02:15Sit down, Alexandra.
01:02:16Excuse me?
01:02:17You're under my roof.
01:02:19Yeah, and I'm working for my keep.
01:02:20The least you can do is hear me out, for your mother's sake.
01:02:26What?
01:02:27The state of this family would have broken her heart.
01:02:31Dad.
01:02:32And you blame me for that?
01:02:34You're the one that walked out.
01:02:35Damn it, Alexandra, why can't you just let things go?
01:02:39Because you took the one thing I loved the most.
01:02:42The thing that I was best at.
01:02:44The thing that made me feel the most alive.
01:02:47I was a shell of a person when Mom died.
01:02:50So I had that.
01:02:51And then you took that from me, too.
01:02:52So for you to sit there and blame me for our brokenness?
01:02:57You did this, Dad.
01:02:58You did.
01:02:59And you have never acknowledged the pain that you caused me in that decision.
01:03:03So no, I'm not just gonna let it go.
01:03:06All right.
01:03:33Go, go, go, go, go.
01:03:34Go, go, go, go, go.
01:03:37Well, lookie there, you got a saddle on her.
01:04:05Oh, yeah.
01:04:07She's easy.
01:04:09Terrison is going to need the training if he wants to ride her.
01:04:11She's getting her used to me shifting my weight, but she should be good.
01:04:18You should take the offer.
01:04:20What are you talking about?
01:04:23It's a lot of money.
01:04:25Nobody else is going to come even close to that offer.
01:04:29She showed it to you.
01:04:30Now, don't go getting all heated about Lexi.
01:04:32My girl wants nothing but the best for you, and I asked to see it.
01:04:37No, there's no shame in doing what you have to do to take care of your family.
01:04:41We can't dig ourselves out of this whole baby.
01:04:44You know that.
01:04:46Yeah, but Abby, she's...
01:04:47Abby?
01:04:48She'll be okay.
01:04:49She's strong.
01:04:50She's resilient.
01:04:51We'll just buy a small ranch.
01:04:55You can focus on the horses.
01:04:56Honey, we're going to be okay.
01:05:02Hey, Kobe.
01:05:29Hey, Kobe.
01:05:30Good morning.
01:05:33And this is what you want?
01:05:45Whoa, whoa.
01:05:51Are you sure?
01:06:04Yeah, it's a good offer.
01:06:07I didn't know how my mom felt about it.
01:06:10I'm so sorry.
01:06:13Just don't tell Abby.
01:06:14I want her to have one last happy Christmas.
01:06:17You're a really good dad.
01:06:22I hope so.
01:06:23I know so.
01:06:44Didn't you hear?
01:06:59The storm's coming in faster than we thought.
01:07:01High wind, lightning, thunder.
01:07:03I know it's Christmas Eve, but I'll pay you double.
01:07:07You know it's going to drop below 20 by midnight.
01:07:14Yeah.
01:07:16No, I get it.
01:07:17Okay.
01:07:18No one's available.
01:07:21I called all our usual hired hands, and they're either with family or on other ranches, doing what I need them to do here.
01:07:27God, I should have looked at the forecast earlier.
01:07:30Can't lose those cattle, Mom.
01:07:32I can help, Daddy.
01:07:32No, this lightning's going to be too dangerous, especially with the wind picking up.
01:07:39Go to the Crenshaws, ask for help.
01:07:42What choice do we have?
01:07:44What?
01:07:47What?
01:07:58Oh, that was nice.
01:08:01Christmas Eve dinner at the main lodge.
01:08:04Dad's making me go.
01:08:06Want to come?
01:08:07Are you less awful?
01:08:08Um, no.
01:08:09Sorry.
01:08:14Everything okay?
01:08:16Yeah, just good news.
01:08:17It just doesn't really feel so good anymore.
01:08:26Hey, I thought you'd been moving out your cattle.
01:08:28Yeah, me too.
01:08:30I don't have enough help.
01:08:32Look, I hate to ask.
01:08:33Do you have any hands free?
01:08:34I could maybe pay something.
01:08:36They're all gone, but I'll get my jacket.
01:08:38I'll grab mine, too.
01:08:39Oh, God.
01:08:40You're such a lifesaver.
01:08:41Both of you, thank you.
01:08:43There he is.
01:08:45The man right there.
01:08:46Woo!
01:08:47You made the right decision, Mason.
01:08:49I don't know what you're talking about, Walden.
01:08:51You thought you'd never sell.
01:08:52Guess you just needed something or someone to sweeten the deal?
01:08:56What?
01:08:57You promised me, Nancy.
01:08:58You swore to me.
01:08:59His name's not adding any of the paper.
01:09:00The company operates out of Minnesota.
01:09:02I'm an idiot.
01:09:03Colby, I swear, I didn't know.
01:09:05Congratulations on a job well done, Lexi.
01:09:08Seriously, your manipulation tactics were perfection.
01:09:11I was not manipulating you.
01:09:12I didn't know.
01:09:13Did you know?
01:09:15Of course not.
01:09:16I didn't know either.
01:09:17Dad did a great job of keeping all this under wraps, but I don't know why you're so upset
01:09:20right now.
01:09:21You just scored a huge bonus.
01:09:23For Dad's money, no less.
01:09:25You must feel pretty good about this.
01:09:26None of this feels good, Walden.
01:09:28None of it.
01:09:28We can't move them, just the two of us.
01:09:42You know that.
01:09:44Please let me help you.
01:09:45You need another set of hands, and I can do it.
01:09:48I'm big enough, Daddy.
01:09:49No, Abby.
01:09:50You're not going, and that's that.
01:09:52Colby, what has gotten into you?
01:09:55I'm sorry, baby.
01:09:56It's too dangerous.
01:09:58Okay?
01:10:00You stay put.
01:10:05Lexi, Jack, thank God.
01:10:07We don't need you to.
01:10:08Turn right back around.
01:10:09The hell we don't.
01:10:11Thank you very much.
01:10:28I bet you want to get out there, too.
01:10:37I want to smell shade.
01:10:41You thinking what I'm thinking?
01:10:46Let's show them what we're made of.
01:10:47Tilda!
01:11:00Tilda!
01:11:00Tilda!
01:11:01Tula! Tula!
01:11:29Abby?
01:11:31Abby, we're back!
01:11:37Abby!
01:11:44I can't tell you how grateful we are for all your help.
01:11:47Of course.
01:11:48Anytime.
01:11:49I don't see her. I'm going to go in the house and check.
01:11:55So, you want to tell me what happened?
01:11:57Apparently, our father is the buyer.
01:11:59And we didn't know.
01:12:01And Coby doesn't believe you?
01:12:02I swear, I had no idea, Millie. He hid this behind the shawl company.
01:12:05Sneaky bastard.
01:12:07I would never hurt Coby like this, and it kills me that he thinks I was manipulating him.
01:12:11She's not in the house.
01:12:15What?
01:12:16Where's Summer Shade?
01:12:17No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
01:12:23Oh, there's Summer Shade.
01:12:25Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
01:12:26Where's Abby?
01:12:27Hey, hey, hey, hey, come here, girl.
01:12:28Well, where could she go?
01:12:29Let's go find her.
01:12:30Uh...
01:12:33Hey, stay here.
01:12:34Okay.
01:12:35Stay here in case you go.
01:12:36Okay.
01:12:37Come on.
01:12:38Dad.
01:12:39We need your help.
01:12:40It's Abby.
01:12:42Okay.
01:12:43Come on.
01:12:44Dad.
01:12:45We need your help.
01:12:47It's Abby.
01:13:12It's Abby.
01:13:13I hate you, Abby.
01:13:14I hate you, Abby.
01:13:15It's Abby.
01:13:16I hate you, Abby.
01:13:29This stupid book is stuck.
01:13:31Help!
01:13:42Abbey!
01:13:43Abbey!
01:13:44Abbey!
01:13:45Abbey!
01:13:46Abbey!
01:13:47Abbey!
01:13:48Abbey!
01:13:49Abbey!
01:13:50Abbey!
01:13:51Abbey!
01:13:52Abbey!
01:13:53Abbey!
01:13:54Abbey!
01:13:55Abbey!
01:14:12Abby, is that you? Abby?
01:14:16Here! We're here!
01:14:19Abby!
01:14:24Tulip? Where's Tulip?
01:14:25Here, Daddy and Lexi are right behind it. Don't worry.
01:14:27We have to get her back to her place.
01:14:29Don't worry about Tulip. We have to check you out first, honey.
01:14:31How'd you cut your hand?
01:14:33I cut it on the barbed wire.
01:14:35Okay.
01:14:37It's so cold.
01:14:38Ow! Ow!
01:14:40Abby? Daddy?
01:14:47She cut her hand on the fence.
01:14:51Okay. She's okay.
01:14:54Hey.
01:14:58What were you thinking, Abs?
01:14:59I wanted to show you that he could do it.
01:15:02We need to get her inside. She's freezing.
01:15:04I'm not leaving Tulip. I'm staying here.
01:15:06Or we have to take her home.
01:15:08You can't sleep in the barn, honey.
01:15:09She'll be fine here in some morning. We'll set her up in a warm stall.
01:15:12Okay.
01:15:27I think you all should spend the night here tonight.
01:15:29Walton, why don't you make up a couple of guest rooms?
01:15:31I appreciate the help, Harrison, but I gotta get her home.
01:15:35Abby could have froze out there tonight.
01:15:37Please, you can hit me tomorrow. Just spend the night.
01:15:39I think I know what I can or can't do for my own daughter.
01:15:41Kobe, he's right. You should stay here till the freeze lets up.
01:15:44You've all done quite enough for my family.
01:15:46Kobe, he blindsided all of us, okay?
01:15:48I swear to you, I didn't know, and I'm just as upset as you are.
01:15:50For heaven's sake, Lexi, I did it for you.
01:15:54What?
01:15:54You wouldn't have taken the job if you knew I was involved.
01:15:57It was the only way I could get you home.
01:15:59I was trying to make things right.
01:16:00I bought it for you.
01:16:02Wait, you're giving it to her?
01:16:04Stay out of this, Walton.
01:16:05All of it?
01:16:07Daddy, what are they talking about?
01:16:08What the hell has she done to earn one single square foot of this land?
01:16:12It's family stuff, baby.
01:16:13I thought you'd be happy.
01:16:16How could you think this would make me happy?
01:16:18You lied to me.
01:16:19You manipulated me.
01:16:21Stop it. Stop yelling at each other.
01:16:23It's Christmas, and you're family.
01:16:29This isn't how you treat each other on Christmas.
01:16:37You're so right.
01:16:39I'm sorry.
01:16:46We're sorry, but please just stay.
01:16:53I don't know.
01:16:55All right.
01:16:58Lexi.
01:16:58I don't even know where to begin with how profoundly screwed up this is.
01:17:02Isn't this what you want?
01:17:03To run your own ranch?
01:17:04No.
01:17:05And certainly not by taking it away from someone I love.
01:17:09Love?
01:17:10I don't know.
01:17:11He was going under.
01:17:13You know that.
01:17:15I did him a favor.
01:17:16You know that, too.
01:17:17Can you not see how controlling this is?
01:17:20I gave you what you want at great expense to myself, I might add.
01:17:23You got me here under false pretenses and then manipulated me into selling the Masons a lie.
01:17:27But did you just tell me what to do?
01:17:29I'm trying here, Lexi.
01:17:31Just tell me what to do.
01:17:31I want you to see me, Dad.
01:17:34You have never seen me.
01:17:36I had the head for managing the ranch.
01:17:38I had the love for it.
01:17:39But you never saw that.
01:17:40You just decided it wasn't for me.
01:17:44Because we knew you were made for more.
01:17:48What do you mean, we?
01:17:49Who's we?
01:17:51Your mama.
01:17:53She gave up a lot of her dreams to live on this ranch with me.
01:17:57She knew you were smart and talented.
01:17:59She just wanted you to have options, just in case this life wasn't for you.
01:18:04And I promised to give you those options.
01:18:06By pushing me out?
01:18:07You wouldn't have found out what you were made of if I hadn't.
01:18:12And look what you built for yourself all on your own.
01:18:16You're beautiful.
01:18:18You are brilliant.
01:18:19And you are powerful.
01:18:21And I am so proud of you, Lexi.
01:18:26I do see you.
01:18:29That wasn't your decision to make.
01:18:31I know that now.
01:18:33And I'm so sorry.
01:18:35I wish I could have done it differently, but I can't.
01:18:37I know it caused you a lot of pain.
01:18:39I have to move forward.
01:18:41So please just tell me what to do.
01:18:45I've lost ten long years of my life without you.
01:18:47And I can't stand the thought of losing a single second more.
01:18:51I just want my daughter back.
01:18:53We'll be back first thing.
01:19:05Yeah, she's got a deep cut on her hand, but she'll be fine.
01:19:11Thank you, Mom.
01:19:12If we stay here tonight, will Santa show up even if we aren't home?
01:19:21I think Mimi's got it under control.
01:19:24She's a pro at leaving out milk and cookies.
01:19:28Daddy?
01:19:29Yeah, baby?
01:19:31I really like Lexi.
01:19:34Yeah, I know you do.
01:19:36Don't you?
01:19:37Yeah, I do.
01:19:40But it's complicated.
01:19:44Then figure it out.
01:19:51Go to sleep.
01:19:52There you are.
01:20:10Is Abby still sleeping?
01:20:13I suppose.
01:20:17Look, I really don't have time for this, Lexi.
01:20:19I really just need you to hear me out.
01:20:21Okay, I've been up all night with your mom and...
01:20:23My mom?
01:20:23Yes, she showed me the books, which were kind of a mess, by the way, but...
01:20:28I have a plan.
01:20:30For what?
01:20:31I have a plan to save your ranch.
01:20:34It's not my ranch.
01:20:35It's your ranch, which I still can't quite believe.
01:20:37I really need you to open that, please.
01:20:39I'd like to sell your ranch back to you.
01:20:51Why does it say the purchase price is for $1?
01:20:54Because that's all I want for it.
01:20:56And with the price that my dad just paid you for your property,
01:20:59you can pay off your debts and make some improvements to get your place in the black again.
01:21:03I've run the numbers, and I've put together an action list in order of importance.
01:21:06In exchange, I'd like to run your place with you.
01:21:11We'd be partners 50-50, but it would remain in your name.
01:21:14So I'd manage the ranch, and you'd do the work you love to do.
01:21:19Once we're profitable again, we'll split the profits.
01:21:23You don't live here.
01:21:25What about your job?
01:21:26I'm thinking about expanding, maybe opening an office in Tubac.
01:21:30I don't know if you heard, but I just landed a pretty huge bonus.
01:21:33Lexi.
01:21:36I'm not going to be here full-time, but I'll be here enough to get your place back in shape.
01:21:39This is crazy.
01:21:40Why would you give me back your ranch?
01:21:43I'm not.
01:21:43We'd be partners, and I don't want it any other way.
01:21:48Come on, Lex.
01:21:49This is everything you ever wanted.
01:21:51No, Kobe.
01:21:52I never wanted my own ranch.
01:21:54I just wanted to be a part of my family's legacy.
01:21:56And last night, my dad agreed to bring me back into the fold.
01:22:00So, say yes, Kobe.
01:22:02Please, let me help you get this place back up and running.
01:22:06I mean, you're unbelievable.
01:22:09Say yes.
01:22:12I got it.
01:22:14Say yes.
01:22:16Damn, city girl.
01:22:18You're good.
01:22:20Is that a yes?
01:22:21Oh, man.
01:22:22Are you sure you want this?
01:22:24Well, Cowboy, it's not all I want.
01:22:28Yeah?
01:22:30What else do you want?
01:22:32I want you.
01:22:34You got me.
01:22:37I do?
01:22:39Absolutely.
01:22:42Desperately.
01:22:45I'm all yours.
01:22:47Merry Christmas, Lexi.
01:22:49Merry Christmas.
01:22:54I will be always, always, always yours.
01:23:02I will be always, always, always, always yours.
01:23:13Always.
