00:07:01do
00:07:01you know about horse feed i got about six of them they can't get enough of the stuff perfect thank
00:07:05you so mine haven't been worked a lot lately and so i was thinking they couldn't handle such rich feed
00:07:10i ordered something new from high water tack and feed but they sent the wrong stuff and i just didn't
00:07:15know it's got a lot of corn here's probably better suited for roughing right i was thinking high
00:07:20fiber low sugar maybe a balance repellent you certainly know your stuff well i grew up on my
00:07:27grandparents ranch in arizona and they would bring me to the giddy up gala every summer when i was a
00:07:32kid i brought my daughter here we love it so i'll just call the high water and switch probably should
00:07:38go in person why's that it's the new owner he's a little more hat than he is cattle
00:07:45he's learning the ropes he messed up my supply of salt slicks uh i'm still waiting on the right ones
00:07:51so okay thank you i'm heading there tomorrow if you want to join yeah yeah that'd be nice

00:08:17whoa hello i'm hope morgan um how can i help you county inspector dave weaver welcome to riudoso
00:08:24thanks thanks thrilled to be here but i sort of thought that the ranch already passed inspection
00:08:29last owners they rebuilt that whole barn and i mean turned it into an amazing event space
00:08:34i love how they kept the old facade on the outside but when you go in it's brand new
00:08:38oh it did pass so uh the giddy up gala the mayor said you were planning on bringing back our
00:08:44beloved
00:08:45tradition yep sure do miss it had some of the best times of my life on this very land yeah
00:08:50i feel the
00:08:50same way and i think a lot of other people do too because i have so many reservations to stay
00:08:54here for the gala that's great really um the barn definitely passes but the house and the stables
00:09:00the last owners never got around to retrofitting anything else oh here is an inspection checklist
00:09:07that i'll cross off before the big day
00:09:13um parking needs to be away from mud holes and lighting the pathways shouldn't be too much to do
00:09:21before the giddy up gala if you get a couple of uh helping hands you know now let's see when
00:09:26i can
00:09:26schedule you in for how is the morning of the 25th oh no that's the day of the gala oh

00:09:39opening i've got i'm sure you're planning on passing the inspection it shouldn't be a problem
00:09:47right right you're right i'm sure it'll be fine so that'll be great really looking forward to it

00:11:25Don't get mad.
00:11:33All right, ranger, when you're ready, you can come join us in the pasture.
00:11:44Well, you were right about Inspector Dave.
00:11:46He is nice, but very strict.
00:11:48He gave me a whole to-do list of things I have to accomplish before the gala.
00:11:51Yeah.
00:11:52This looks great.
00:11:54Oh, thank you.
00:11:56You're welcome.
00:11:58Hi, welcome to High Water.
00:12:00The smell of pine and leather, huh?
00:12:03Nothing like it.
00:12:05Add the aroma of Southern barbecue in the mix, and it smells just like home.
00:12:10Do you cook?
00:12:11I'm no Michelin chef, but I know my way around the grill.
00:12:14I got this secret family recipe for barbecue sauce you'd have to taste to believe.
00:12:19I look forward to it.
00:12:22I'll feed straight ahead.
00:12:23Oh, right.
00:12:24Oh, great.
00:12:26I think this is it.
00:12:30Yeah.
00:12:32You check the ingredients.
00:12:33I'm gonna go see about my salt licks.
00:12:35Okay.
00:12:39Anything I can help you with?
00:12:40Hi there, partner.
00:12:41Welcome to High Water.
00:12:43No.
00:12:44Okay.
00:12:45No problem.
00:12:45No, no, sorry.
00:12:46The no wasn't for you.
00:12:47The no is because-
00:12:48Sorry about that.
00:12:49You must be living alone.
00:12:50Yes, sir.
00:12:51That's me.
00:12:51Welcome to town.
00:12:52I'm Tom Grayson.
00:12:54I'm Jack.
00:12:55Nice to meet you.
00:12:56You're welcome.
00:12:57I hate to complain first time meeting you, but-
00:13:00If you're looking for grooming brushes, we have-
00:13:02Shhh.
00:13:02I'm here about some mineral block where we were some time ago.
00:13:05Under Grayson?
00:13:06Mineral blocks under Grayson.
00:13:09Take a look here.
00:13:12Now is that Hope Morgan?
00:13:18Jack Bennett.
00:13:21You two used to know each other?
00:13:24No.
00:13:25I mean, we used to.
00:13:27Well, you haven't changed a bit.
00:13:30I've changed a lot.
00:13:32You're the one who hasn't changed.
00:13:37I'm gonna go back to the stock room.
00:13:42Okay.
00:13:45Yeah, I'm gonna go talk to someone.
00:13:50Sounds good.
00:13:52Huh.
00:13:53That's weird.
00:13:54No one out there.
00:13:55I don't know what he's doing.
00:13:55What are you doing here?
00:13:56Came here to win you back, Hope.
00:13:58No, seriously.
00:13:59What are you doing in Ruedozo?
00:14:01Oh.
00:14:01You were looking at the new proprietor of High Water Tack and Feed.
00:14:06Did Lori tell you that I had moved here?
00:14:09No.
00:14:10No.
00:14:10Oh.
00:14:12Okay, listen.
00:14:13She mentioned it, but it-
00:14:14She let something slip and then you got the whole story out of her.
00:14:16No, Hope.
00:14:17What happened was, when we opened up our second office in Denver, it became obvious to me-
00:14:21Obviously, you're still running.
00:14:23For what you want, when you want it.
00:14:25Well, I don't want to be in that race.
00:14:27I never did.
00:14:28No.
00:14:29You were always the finish line, Hope.
00:14:33Listen.
00:14:34Hi.
00:14:34Hi.
00:14:35Welcome in.
00:14:38When I sold my share of Pinnacle Finance to Simone, I took a road trip to New Mexico,
00:14:43I stumbled upon this Tack and Feed shop that was for sale and I thought, I've arrived.
00:14:48You are looking at Ruedozo's newest citizen, Hope.
00:14:51That's crazy.
00:14:52Don't you think?
00:14:53Don't you realize that that's just totally reckless and completely-
00:14:56Romantic?
00:14:59Is that what you were going to say?
00:15:01I mean, you were always the one, Hope.
00:15:03And look at this.
00:15:03It's like they brought us together or something.
00:15:05The timing's right.
00:15:06We're both here.
00:15:07Timing?
00:15:08You always loved a sequel.
00:15:09You know, we haven't even exchanged Christmas cards in a decade.
00:15:14Oh.
00:15:15But you do love big romantic gestures, right?
00:15:17And this is pretty big.
00:15:18So you thought you'd just buy this place, move to Ruedozo, and then I'd come in one day
00:15:22and, what, throw myself in your arms like at the end of Dirty Dancing?
00:15:26Uh, wait.
00:15:27So is that- is that a no?
00:15:29Yes!
00:15:29I mean, no!
00:15:30You!
00:15:30I mean-
00:15:32Do you know what I mean?
00:15:33Okay.
00:15:33Okay?
00:15:34The point is, that's why it didn't work the first time.
00:15:37And that's why it didn't work the second time when we tried the long distance thing.
00:15:40And that's why it wouldn't work now, because there's never any communication with you!
00:15:44Okay.
00:15:45I mean, I could-
00:15:46I do need to order two 50-pound bags of the Meadow Mix horse feed.
00:15:50Two 50 of Meadow Mix.
00:15:52You got it.
00:15:57And technically, it would have been a trilogy.
00:15:59Oh.
00:16:00Right.
00:16:03Trilogy.
00:16:04You hear that?
00:16:05She wants a trilogy.
00:16:27Mm-hm.
00:16:36Eh-ck.
00:16:36Hello?
00:16:38Your brother moved to Ruidoso.
00:16:40Ugh, I know.
00:16:41Are you sleeping?
00:16:42I sleep in on Sundays.
00:16:45Tuesdays are my Sundays.
00:16:46Why didn't you tell me about Jack?
00:16:48Ugh, I'm sorry.
00:16:51I know.
00:16:53I know, but after you two broke up, he would not stop asking about you.
00:16:58He asked about me?
00:17:00All the time.
00:17:01Is he wearing the cowboy boots?
00:17:02And a hat, and a buckle, and his jeans are too tight.
00:17:08He's still in love with you.
00:17:09He always has been.
00:17:11Don't you wonder what it could have been if you two would stay together?
00:17:14No.
00:17:15No, I don't, because I know exactly what would have happened.
00:17:17It would have been a mess.
00:17:18And look, here we are now, in a mess.
00:17:21All right, I have a million things to do for the Giddy Up Gala,
00:17:24and I should get started.
00:17:25No, I can come early and help.
00:17:27Oh, no.
00:17:28One Bennett in this town is enough for now.
00:17:30But I can't wait to see you in a few weeks.
00:17:32And you're not going to tell him that we talked about this, right?
00:17:35I would never.
00:17:36I'm serious.
00:17:37Talk to you later.
00:17:38Bye.
00:17:39Toodles.
00:17:48How did you get out?
00:17:51Or in?
00:17:54Pleading the fifth, I see.
00:17:57All right.
00:18:00Let's get you back to your friends.
00:18:02Come on, girl.
00:18:06Are you kidding me right now?
00:18:08The coop is so closed.
00:18:10How did you get out?
00:18:11It's okay.
00:18:14It's okay.
00:18:20.
00:18:32Chokeberries.
00:18:48Well, Ranger, look who decided to join us.
00:18:52Aww.
00:18:56Hi.
00:18:57You want to try a chokecherry?
00:19:00No.
00:19:01Okay.
00:19:02I thought you might like it.
00:19:08Well, you guys enjoy your graze.
00:19:10I've got work to do.
00:19:29What's this, a command post?
00:19:32Hey, this is private property.
00:19:34Sorry, I brought your feed, ma'am.
00:19:36Same-day delivery?
00:19:37Is that a new service the High Water is offering?
00:19:39Yeah, yeah, just for our VIP clients, so.
00:19:42Besides, I didn't want you to hurt yourself trying to move this 250-pound barrel of feed.
00:19:46I ordered 250-pound bags.
00:19:49Yeah.
00:19:49I know.
00:19:50Two...
00:19:51Oh, my gosh.
00:19:52250.
00:19:53That.
00:19:54The difference between hearing and listening.
00:19:56No, that's actually what you call an honest mistake.
00:19:58That's what that is.
00:19:59What's going on here?
00:20:00A lot of paperwork, huh?
00:20:02I know how you love that.
00:20:03You want a hand or something?
00:20:04No.
00:20:05I am happy to be doing this, and I don't need help.
00:20:07Okay.
00:20:08Not that you'd ask if you did, right?
00:20:11Rui Doso is a special place to me.
00:20:13I came here for a fresh start, and now you're here.
00:20:16Bringing back what we thought we'd lost?
00:20:20Okay, okay.
00:20:21I'm just kidding.
00:20:22Hey.
00:20:22I will be back with the proper allotment of feed, okay?
00:20:25No!
00:20:26Don't come back!
00:20:26You don't have to deliver it!
00:20:27I want to, though.
00:20:28I mean, if you want me to.
00:20:33Okay, I'm going.
00:20:35Can I just say, this is great, though.
00:20:37You're great.
00:20:37You look great.
00:20:39Ranch life suits you.
00:20:40It really does.
00:20:41It suits me, too, right?
00:20:42Well, that's what you were thinking, but you just weren't looking at me.
00:20:45Right?
00:20:46There she is.
00:20:47Ha ha ha ha ha!
00:20:49Woo!
00:20:50I'll be back!
00:20:53Help me.
00:21:10Everything tastes better when you grow it yourself.
00:21:12Ha!
00:21:13Yeah.
00:21:14I think that's true.
00:21:16Hello.
00:21:16Um, I'm getting to work on planning a bunch of stuff, but I already have choke cherries growing in the
00:21:22pasture.
00:21:22My favorite.
00:21:23Mine, too.
00:21:24Eventually, I hope I have enough to feed everyone on my ranch.
00:21:27It's fantastic.
00:21:29Hi.
00:21:30I'm, uh, I'm Hope.
00:21:31Hi, Hope.
00:21:32It's so nice to finally meet you in real life.
00:21:36I'm Mayor Winona.
00:21:37Oh, you're the mayor?
00:21:38Yeah.
00:21:38Wow.
00:21:39Hi.
00:21:39Thank you so much for your very welcoming emails.
00:21:42Of course.
00:21:43It's always exciting to have a new resident, but the one that's going to bring back the biggest party of
00:21:47the year, I am thrilled.
00:21:50Me, too.
00:21:50So, I heard our inspector made his way over to you.
00:21:55Wow.
00:21:55You already heard about that.
00:21:56Small town word gets around, plus, you know, Dave's desk is right next to mine.
00:22:01Of course.
00:22:02Of course.
00:22:02Well, don't worry.
00:22:03I have it all planned out.
00:22:04I have a to-do list charted so that I can get everything up to code and pass the inspection.
00:22:09You are organized.
00:22:10It comes from working in PR for a long time.
00:22:13Well, I hate to add to your to-do list, but, um, unfortunately I have to.
00:22:18Let's see.
00:22:18Event permit, food and beverage license, regulatory insurance for accommodation, and zoning permits.
00:22:24Oh.
00:22:24Just, you know.
00:22:26All that for a couple of hayrides and a bonfire?
00:22:28The Giddy Up Gala is going to attract everyone from Rui Doso and beyond.
00:22:33It's been ten years since we had one, and we all have such amazing memories of it.
00:22:38Yeah.
00:22:38Well, I'm hoping this is the best one yet.
00:22:40And it will be- and I'm sure you have plenty of help.
00:22:43I mean, I heard your ex-husband just bought the high water.
00:22:46Is that-
00:22:48Word does travel past-
00:22:49Yeah.
00:22:50Um, he is my ex, but we were never married.
00:22:53Don't you worry.
00:22:54I don't need help.
00:22:55I can handle it.
00:22:56Great.
00:22:56Thank you so much.
00:22:58You bet.
00:22:59Have a great day.
00:23:00Me too.
00:23:06All right, Ranger.
00:23:07It is you and me, buddy.
00:23:08They were-
00:23:12They're gone.
00:23:14Oh, good.
00:23:21Bye.
00:23:32Okay.
00:23:33Oh, good.
00:23:37Oh, good, Brady.
00:23:40You've got one, who knows?
00:23:41Oh, good.
00:23:41Oh, good.
00:23:41There is no one.
00:23:41Okay.
00:23:41Bye.
00:23:41Hey, good boy.
00:23:42Oh, good boy.
00:23:45Thank you so much. I so appreciate this.
00:23:47Anytime.
00:23:50You ready?
00:23:50Yeah, I'm ready.
00:23:53Hey, guys.
00:23:55Jack.
00:23:56Hey, Jack.
00:23:59Hope, I got your feed. Just point me towards the horses.
00:24:02Oh, well, I can't do that because they've escaped the pasture.
00:24:05Oh, yeah, we're heading out right now to wrangle them.
00:24:08Wrangle them, huh? Real cowboy stuff. All right.
00:24:10Well, if you need a hand, I'm happy to help.
00:24:11Oh, you don't really ride, and I don't have a horse to lend you.
00:24:14I got old Betsy here. I can keep up.
00:24:17Horses don't like loud machines.
00:24:19Right.
00:24:20Listen, I'm so sorry. Will you just put the feed in this table for me?
00:24:23Thank you so much.
00:24:24Uh-huh, yeah, for sure.
00:24:49There.
00:24:50Yep, that's you.
00:24:51Come on. Let's go get it.
00:24:57Oh, boy.
00:24:59Just relax.
00:25:00You're okay.
00:25:01You're okay.
00:25:04All right, put your hand up.
00:25:06Oh, boy.
00:25:08Oh, boy.
00:25:09That's my boy.
00:25:11See? Now you're safe and sound.
00:25:14Oh, one down, three to go.
00:25:16You know Ranger's not going to give up without a fight.
00:25:18Ah, he'll come around.
00:25:20You have a way with difficult ones, I can tell.
00:25:27Let's take it back, and then we'll go look for Ranger.
00:25:34All right, good boy.
00:25:36You could be training horses at Ridoso Downs and skills like that.
00:25:39Well, I could certainly use the purse from that race.
00:25:43Now, look who I found.
00:25:47I don't know what y'all are talking about.
00:25:48Ranger's the best horse out there.
00:25:50Of course he listens to you.
00:25:52He's just misunderstood.
00:25:53Isn't that right, buddy?
00:25:54Hmm?
00:25:57Hey, Gus.
00:25:58Hey, your feed beside the stalls.
00:26:00Thank you, Jack.
00:26:01Happy to help.
00:26:07He's, uh, my ex.
00:26:09I mean, we were never married,
00:26:10and I don't know what he's doing in Ridoso.
00:26:17Um, anyway, thank you so much for everything.
00:26:20I'm sure I should let you get back to work.
00:26:22And I'm gonna head out, hand out some invitations.
00:26:24Invitations?
00:26:25Yeah, I thought I'd go introduce myself to our neighbors
00:26:27and invite them to the giddy-up gala in person,
00:26:30let them know it's back on.
00:26:31And that nice, shiny new SUV?
00:26:35Yeah.
00:26:35Uh, what?
00:26:37Well, they may not take you too seriously.
00:26:39You have a better idea?
00:26:43Wow!
00:26:45Good.
00:26:45It's still here.
00:26:55This is so cool.
00:26:57Want me to check out of the hood
00:26:58and make sure it's still breathing?
00:27:00Oh, no.
00:27:01I've got to figure out how to do these things on my own.
00:27:03If I don't do it now, I never will.
00:27:06Okay, well, I'm out.
00:27:08Hey, um, thanks for your help today.
00:27:12What are neighbors for?
00:27:13Huh?
00:27:21Whoa!
00:27:22Hey!
00:27:23How did you...
00:27:24All right.
00:27:26I guess we'll just have to stop by the chicken coop.
00:27:29On our way.
00:27:30Out.
00:27:31I'm gonna hold you up the keys.
00:27:34No?
00:27:35Oh.
00:27:37Got it.
00:27:49Well, it makes noise.
00:27:50Let's hope this thing drives.
00:28:32Oh, hi.
00:28:33I wanted to invite you to the Giddy Up Gala.
00:28:36I hope I see you there.
00:28:47Oh, hi.
00:28:48Please come to our Giddy Up Gala.
00:28:50It would be thrilled to see you there.
00:28:52Have a nice day.
00:28:58Hello, sir.
00:28:59I hope you'll meet us at the Giddy Up Gala.
00:29:02Hi.
00:29:03We're bringing Giddy Up Gala back,
00:29:05so we hope to see you there.
00:29:08Oh, sir.
00:29:09We would love to have you join us
00:29:10at Hope Ranch for the Giddy Up Gala.
00:29:17Oh, no.
00:29:20What the...
00:29:21What's going on?
00:29:45What are you laughing at?
00:29:52Oh, no.
00:29:54Oh, no.
00:29:57Oh, no.
00:30:00Oh, no.
00:30:05No.
00:30:06No.
00:30:06You're going the wrong way.
00:30:07Come on.
00:30:08Over here.
00:30:10Oh, got you.
00:30:11This way.
00:30:12Hello.
00:30:16You don't want to be picked up.
00:30:17Then you're going to go.
00:30:19Look back down.
00:30:19Yes.
00:30:21Oh.
00:30:21You.
00:30:22Go back.
00:30:24Okay.
00:30:24Look at that.
00:30:25Are you kidding?
00:30:30How did you do that?
00:30:32Okay.
00:30:33Okay.
00:30:34I think you need your own name.
00:30:37You know, you're small and mighty,
00:30:38but you're very good at magically appearing out of nowhere.
00:30:44You're an expert at escape.
00:30:46You're a beanie.
00:30:48That's perfect.
00:30:53Okay.
00:30:55Okay.
00:31:04Okay.
00:31:07Okay.
00:31:12Bye.
00:31:18Bye.
00:31:22Bye.
00:31:25Bye.
00:32:02Oh, sorry.
00:32:19Oh, hi.
00:32:20Hi, Mom.
00:32:21Big day.
00:32:22You excited about homecoming?
00:32:23I don't think I'm going to go.
00:32:24What?
00:32:25You were so excited about it.
00:32:27Yeah, and then this week happened.
00:32:28I've got like two exams next week and three more after that.
00:32:32Okay.
00:32:33So what do you want to do?
00:32:34Like find a tutor?
00:32:36No, I'll be fine.
00:32:38You can talk to me, Max.
00:32:40Just taking all these extra classes was a lot, a lot more work than I thought it was going to
00:32:44be.
00:32:44Hey, you got this, okay?
00:32:47And I'm here for you.
00:32:49Whatever you need.
00:32:50I'll be fine.
00:32:51I'm just having a moment.
00:32:56What are diamonds made of?
00:32:59Cole.
00:33:01Maggie?
00:33:03Pressure.
00:33:05That's right.
00:33:06You can only take one test at a time.
00:33:08You can work with a tutor all the way.
00:33:10Yeah, but I can't exactly bring the tutor into the exam room with me, Mom.
00:33:13I know that.
00:33:14But you could work with someone all the way up until the last minute, right?
00:33:18Listen, don't be afraid to ask for help.
00:33:21I'm okay.
00:33:22I think I've got it.
00:33:23But thanks.
00:33:25I should probably get back to my books.
00:33:28All right.
00:33:28Well, I love you very much, and I can't wait to see you next weekend.
00:33:33Yeah.
00:33:35Love you.
00:33:37Love you.
00:33:44All right.
00:33:46I guess we should get to it.
00:33:49Okay.
00:33:50No.
00:33:52Ranger, come on.
00:33:53Come on, we're going to go out and get some grass.
00:33:56Oh.
00:33:58I'm sorry.
00:33:59All right.
00:34:00Okay, you hold on, and we'll go in a second, okay?
00:34:03You just stay right here.
00:34:05Ranger, don't you want to come out with us?
00:34:10All right, you can stay here.
00:34:11You don't have to.
00:34:12You just come out whenever you're ready.
00:34:19Come on, Jackie.
00:34:20Let's go.
00:34:49Come on, you.
00:34:58Wash day.
00:34:59It's actually turning into wash week at my pace.
00:35:03Hadn't seen you in town much lately.
00:35:07There's a lot to do around here.
00:35:10And truthfully, I've been trying to avoid run-ins with Jack.
00:35:15No better place than out here.
00:35:16I want to be alone.
00:35:18Truth is, every time I try to leave,
00:35:20ranch just pulls me back in.
00:35:23It's coming together, though, right?
00:35:25Yeah.
00:35:26Yeah.
00:35:26It's not falling apart at the seams.
00:35:31I mean, there's a lot I've been working on.
00:35:35I did reinforce the beams in the barn,
00:35:37cleared out some spots for parking spaces out front,
00:35:40laid out the solar lights for the pathway,
00:35:42I hired the caterer.
00:35:44All this while running a ranch.
00:35:46Some real cowboy stuff.
00:35:48It's less than a third of my to-do list.
00:35:51Wish I could tell you it gets easier.
00:35:55Every night at 8 o'clock,
00:35:56I am totally fast asleep,
00:35:58exhausted.
00:36:00But I couldn't love it more.
00:36:03But sometimes it's nice to have a break.
00:36:05Right?
00:36:07What about a trail ride?
00:36:08You want to come with me?
00:36:09Show me the lay of the land?
00:36:10You in?
00:36:11Absolutely.
00:36:13I'll get the horses.
00:36:21Trail gets narrow up here,
00:36:22but the view's worth it.
00:36:23You know, I've been on a few trail rides,
00:36:25I haven't seen you out.
00:36:26Diving season.
00:36:26Oh.
00:36:27Yeah.
00:36:28It's like an alarm clock that never quits.
00:36:31Up before dawn,
00:36:32checking the herd,
00:36:33gotta make sure the mamas are okay.
00:36:36Every once in a while,
00:36:36I gotta pull a calf at 2 a.m.
00:36:38Wow.
00:36:38And you do that all yourself?
00:36:40Just like you.
00:36:43I mean,
00:36:43it would be easier to have a partner.
00:36:46Yeah, I, uh,
00:36:48it's been a while since I've had a partner.
00:36:51I'm probably better with cows than I am crowds.
00:36:54I didn't mean that the way that it sounded.
00:36:56I'm happy with the way things are for me.
00:36:58I'm happy on my own,
00:36:59but it would be nice to share ice tea sometime.
00:37:02I'd like that.
00:37:13Wow.
00:37:15Bet you'd never get tired of this.
00:37:19I haven't yet.
00:37:27All right, ladies.
00:37:29Come on.
00:37:29Come on.
00:37:30Come on.
00:37:31Bed time.
00:37:31Time for bed.
00:37:34Go on.
00:37:36You got this.
00:37:37You got this.
00:37:37Yes.
00:37:38Good job.
00:37:39Good job.
00:37:40Okay.
00:37:42And you,
00:37:43Dini.
00:37:46Chicken.
00:38:03Oh.
00:38:04Ow.
00:38:05Hey, buddy.
00:38:06Come on.
00:38:06Let's just be friends.
00:38:08Don't you think we could be friends?
00:38:09Come here.
00:38:10Come here.
00:38:11All right.
00:38:12Come here.
00:38:12I'll just give it time.
00:38:15Not so easy when you're on the other side, huh?
00:38:24What?
00:38:27Come on, man.
00:38:32All right.
00:38:33Jack, what are you doing here?
00:38:34How are you doing?
00:38:36Oh, I got something for you.
00:38:39I can't be bought.
00:38:41I didn't buy it.
00:38:42I made it.
00:38:44What?
00:38:45Wow.
00:38:46I don't know what to say.
00:38:48Yeah, well, I figure people are going to want to know they're in the right place when
00:38:50they show up next weekend, huh?
00:38:52It's beautiful.
00:38:54It's beautiful.
00:38:58It doesn't mean we're getting back together.
00:39:00It doesn't mean we're not, though.
00:39:03You know, I don't have the energy for this right now.
00:39:05I just have to deal with the animals and get ready for the gala and go back out and fix
00:39:11the fence in the pasture.
00:39:12What?
00:39:12Again?
00:39:13Yeah.
00:39:13Again.
00:39:14All right.
00:39:15Well, I'll give you a hand.
00:39:16Let's go do that.
00:39:17I don't need your help.
00:39:18Yes, you do.
00:39:19You just don't want to ask for it.
00:39:21Oh, what?
00:39:21Is Tom helping you?
00:39:23No, he has his own ranch to take care of.
00:39:26I just, I have this under control.
00:39:28It's fine.
00:39:29Okay.
00:39:30It's okay.
00:39:31Saw a big stack of paperwork by the front door.
00:39:33Is that under control, too?
00:39:34Now you're snooping?
00:39:35No.
00:39:35I showed up with the sign.
00:39:37I knocked on the front door, and I happened to notice it.
00:39:39That's all.
00:39:39Right.
00:39:40Oh, this was, that was taped to your gate, too.
00:39:46Property tax.
00:39:51Agricultural exemption?
00:39:52I got the same thing at Highwater.
00:39:54See, farmers, they'll defer the payments, but once the land transfers, they'll come due,
00:39:59so.
00:39:59I didn't know this was a thing.
00:40:00Yeah, year after year, it can really add up, too.
00:40:03I can't come up with this kind of money in a month.
00:40:05Should have been a clause in the sales closing agreement.
00:40:07Did you?
00:40:08I didn't see it.
00:40:11There was a lot of paperwork.
00:40:13All right.
00:40:13Well, tell you what we're going to do, Hope.
00:40:15I'm going to go back.
00:40:16I don't need you to figure this out for me.
00:40:17I know.
00:40:17I'm just, just saying.
00:40:18Listen, there were plenty of times I did need your help, and you weren't around.
00:40:21Could have just called me.
00:40:22We had broken up.
00:40:23You moved to New York.
00:40:25I stayed in Denver.
00:40:26I can do it by myself.
00:40:27I don't need your help, and I definitely don't need you showing up here acting like
00:40:31you're saving me.
00:40:32I don't need saving.
00:40:34I know.
00:40:36I never said you did.
00:40:38Never.
00:40:44You know, sometimes you just got to back off, let them come to you, Hope.
00:40:50Talking about the horse.
00:40:56You know, Dad.
00:40:56Okay.
00:41:21Let's do it.
00:41:48How did you even get in here?
00:41:51You know what?
00:41:52I'm just too tired.
00:41:53Help yourself.
00:42:11What did I get myself into?
00:42:31Stables.
00:42:32Okay.
00:42:47Whew.
00:42:49Whew.
00:42:50Whew.
00:42:51Whew.
00:43:07Whew.
00:43:37Will this be all for you today?
00:43:38Yes, thank you.
00:43:38All right.
00:44:09We're out of oat milk, so you get 2%.
00:44:23You have a plumbing issue or something I can help you with, ma'am?
00:44:27The water tank is fine.
00:44:28My livestock has water.
00:44:30It's just the house.
00:44:32It's a pump.
00:44:33Plumbing?
00:44:34Uh-huh.
00:44:34Pump.
00:44:35Might need to call in a professional for that, honestly.
00:44:39Plumber's charged by the hour.
00:44:41I hope that just has Tom.
00:44:43Yeah.
00:44:44Tell him to the rescue.
00:44:45That could work.
00:44:45Uh-huh.
00:44:46It's just because he's my neighbor.
00:44:48No.
00:44:48100%.
00:44:49Listen, I'm happy you have someone you can call for help.
00:44:51I truly am.
00:44:52Whatever you need, put it on our tab.
00:44:54Jack.
00:45:08Hey there.
00:45:09Hey.
00:45:09Well, that's all of them.
00:45:12Amazing.
00:45:13Thank you so much, man.
00:45:14I appreciate it.
00:45:14Well, if you want to thank me, you can come to the tumbleweed two-step tonight.
00:45:18Oh, yeah.
00:45:18I need some newbies on the dance floor.
00:45:21Everybody else already knows all the steps.
00:45:22Okay.
00:45:24While you're at it, ask Hope.
00:45:28She needs a night out more than she knows.
00:45:32Is that right?
00:45:36Well, not with me she doesn't, I don't think.
00:45:39Well, maybe not now, but that doesn't mean never.
00:45:42You're in Ruby Doso.
00:45:43Things take time here.
00:45:45We got lots of it.
00:45:48At least while you're dancing, you can put it all down for the night.
00:45:52Okay.
00:45:53Is that right?
00:45:54Yeah.
00:45:55Okay.
00:45:56Thank you, Mayor.
00:45:56You bet.
00:46:01Uh, Tom?
00:46:02Hey.
00:46:03How did you know I was having issues with the water?
00:46:06I ran into Jack in town.
00:46:07He got the blueprints to all your water stuff here.
00:46:10Said you're having trouble and asked me to drop them off to you.
00:46:13There you go.
00:46:14Oh.
00:46:15The previous owners, they never did fix this thing, right?
00:46:19There's only so much that duct tape can do.
00:46:22Right.
00:46:23You don't mind me being out here, do you?
00:46:24No.
00:46:25No.
00:46:26Actually, it's great.
00:46:28If there's anything I can do to help, I will.
00:46:32No.
00:46:33Um.
00:46:35Hey, I meant to ask you about the honky-tonk in town.
00:46:38Yeah.
00:46:38Uh-huh.
00:46:38There's apparently like a two-step party today.
00:46:41Is it good?
00:46:42Yeah.
00:46:42It's only the best time in Rio, so I'm going.
00:46:46Are you going to go?
00:46:47Well, only if I get this whole pump thing fixed.
00:46:51Well, I mean, it ties into my place, so if I get it fixed, it only helps the both of
00:46:55us.
00:46:58You are the best neighbor ever.
00:47:01Sure.
00:47:01But, um, I could probably use some help out here.
00:47:04Oh, yeah, of course.
00:47:06Uh, no, uh, you wouldn't happen to know anybody with some long gangly arms that could help me out?
00:47:12Just one.
00:47:14Mind if I give Jack a call?
00:47:17No, but, but I'll do it.
00:47:20I'll call.
00:47:21Okay.
00:47:29High water, tack, and feed.
00:47:31We got what you need.
00:47:32Is that a new slogan?
00:47:33I like it.
00:47:35Yeah, I'm trying out a few different ones.
00:47:36High water, tack, and feed for your horse and your steed.
00:47:40We get a tea with speed.
00:47:45Listen, I just wanted to say thank you for the blueprints.
00:47:48Yeah, I thought, you know, they might be of assistance to you.
00:47:52Didn't want to interfere.
00:47:54You just wanted to help.
00:47:56You say that like it's a bad thing, Hope.
00:47:59Cause, you know, I hate asking for help.
00:48:01I know, and I know where that comes from.
00:48:04But you're not that five-year-old girl making mac and cheese on her own anymore.
00:48:08Raise an amazing daughter on your own.
00:48:11You got it right, Hope.
00:48:12Just like you wanted to.
00:48:23But, uh, um, you know, actually I, uh, well, I did call because, um, I need to ask for your
00:48:33help.
00:48:35Oh.
00:48:37Uh, listen, I know that was probably tricky to say, but I just gotta hear it one more time.
00:48:40What did you say?
00:48:41Sorry?
00:48:44I need your help.
00:48:45Uh, oh boy.
00:48:46Just once more.
00:48:48No way.
00:48:49Now you're pushing it.
00:48:51Yes, I'm happy to help.
00:48:52I will be right over.
00:48:54Looking forward to it.
00:48:55And I got a new tool belt.
00:48:56I can't wait to break it in.
00:48:59I'm hanging up now.
00:49:01Okay.
00:49:01Hey, next time just call my cell.
00:49:13Wait.
00:49:14No, that can't be right.
00:49:16Uh.
00:49:19Oh no.
00:49:21Oh no.
00:49:23I'm overbooked.
00:49:26Double booked.
00:49:29Uh, um, uh, problem with booking.
00:49:34Okay, okay, nevermind.
00:49:36Speak to a representative.
00:49:38Forty-five minute wait!
00:49:40Come on.
00:49:41Come on.
00:49:41Okay.
00:49:42It's fine.
00:49:43Just wait.
00:49:44Oh, I'll take the neighbor some flowers.
00:49:48That'll be perfect.
00:49:52What?
00:49:54Are you a desert mirage?
00:49:55I'm not a mirage.
00:49:56Best friend.
00:49:57Hi.
00:49:58I can't believe you're here.
00:50:00What?
00:50:00No flowers?
00:50:01Oh yeah.
00:50:02Well, I'm still working on it.
00:50:03No, these are actually from my neighbor, Mr. Miller.
00:50:05Because my horse got out of the pasture and trampled his garden.
00:50:08Oh dear.
00:50:08Where?
00:50:08Yeah.
00:50:09His name is Ranger.
00:50:10He's a little bit complicated.
00:50:12I'm not sure he likes me.
00:50:13But there is one person he loves and you know who it is.
00:50:17Did he call you and tell you I need to be rescued?
00:50:19Who?
00:50:20Ranger?
00:50:22No.
00:50:23No.
00:50:23No one told me to come.
00:50:24I just missed you.
00:50:25What?
00:50:26Do you need to be rescued?
00:50:27No.
00:50:27But actually Jack and Tom are fixing a water issue right now.
00:50:32Who's Tom?
00:50:33I have a lot to fill you in on.
00:50:35Come with me.
00:50:37To the gardening.
00:50:38To the garden we go.
00:50:47I get it.
00:50:49Sirens and a horn.
00:50:50You can hear the birds.
00:50:52Yeah.
00:50:53It is really peaceful here.
00:50:55You can really hear yourself think.
00:50:59Which isn't always a good thing.
00:51:01No?
00:51:01How so?
00:51:02I don't know.
00:51:03It can sometimes be lonely.
00:51:05Well, you're an empty nester now.
00:51:07That's a big change.
00:51:09Yeah.
00:51:09Yeah.
00:51:10Maybe that's it.
00:51:11Maggie's come into the Giddy Up Gala though, yeah?
00:51:13She said she would.
00:51:14I spoke to her last week and she's feeling a little overwhelmed at school.
00:51:18And of course she won't ask for help.
00:51:21Now you know how we all feel.
00:51:23The support the Morgan Women's Support Club.
00:51:26I am not that bad.
00:51:29You don't have to prove anything to anyone.
00:51:32You're out here actually doing it.
00:51:34I know.
00:51:35But every time I patch up a leak, I feel like another one springs up right away.
00:51:39I'm like the Three Stooges.
00:51:40Only I am Larry Moe and Curly.
00:51:43Well, you got me and Maggie and Tom, whoever Tom is.
00:51:49You know, real strength comes from letting people in.
00:51:53Eve and Jack.
00:51:56It's not like I haven't thought about it.
00:51:58But Jack and I tried again.
00:52:00And then we hit the same wall.
00:52:02And instead of breaking through it, we break up again.
00:52:04It's been over a decade.
00:52:05You're both different now.
00:52:07I could have told him not to move to Rio Doso.
00:52:09That it was a bad idea.
00:52:11Hopeless.
00:52:12But he was, he was so convinced that moving here would win you back.
00:52:17And, you know, I was kind of hoping he could win you back too.
00:52:21Okay, well I can't really think about my love life right now.
00:52:24You know, I have to focus on figuring out how to get this gala all sorted out.
00:52:28Ugh.
00:52:29Making sure there's enough rooms, cause you know, I'm overbooked.
00:52:32Oh, well I can stay with Jack.
00:52:34Oh, thanks.
00:52:34How'd that happen?
00:52:35I have no idea.
00:52:36The website glitched or something, and it double booked every room.
00:52:39If I knew who had made the reservation first, I could just cancel the other people, but-
00:52:43No, no, no, no, no.
00:52:44We'll figure it out.
00:52:45We got this.
00:52:48But for now, let's go apologize on Rangers behalf.
00:52:53I forgot about that.
00:52:55Let's do it.
00:53:10What if we build out some extra accommodations?
00:53:13I mean, that's definitely part of my five year plan, but I can't do it now.
00:53:16I don't have time or money.
00:53:20Oh, that's Houdini.
00:53:22Never mind her.
00:53:22She's just my executive assistant.
00:53:25Hey, Houdini, these numbers are not great.
00:53:28So, you're not drowning.
00:53:30You just don't have any water.
00:53:31Right.
00:53:32You know, I went over all of that with the realtor.
00:53:35Maybe I should have hired a lawyer too, huh?
00:53:36You know, even the pros make mistakes.
00:53:39Okay, the deferred property taxes can be paid in installment, so no worries there.
00:53:43We just have to focus on the gala permits and licenses.
00:53:46Right.
00:53:47Okay, so I just have to fill out all these applications and then woo some signatures out of people.
00:53:51Heavily stuff.
00:53:51My specialty.
00:53:56Who's that?
00:53:58That is Tom.
00:54:00Lori, what are you doing here?
00:54:03Hey, I'm Lori Bennett.
00:54:06Jack's sister, younger sister.
00:54:07I'm here for the gala this weekend.
00:54:09Tom Grayson.
00:54:10I'm Hope's neighbor.
00:54:11That's right.
00:54:11And my partner in plumbing.
00:54:13Neighbor.
00:54:13Convenient.
00:54:14Yeah.
00:54:15Hope, your gate's still askew.
00:54:17I thought I fixed it.
00:54:18Good news is though, water's back on.
00:54:21Yeah, the pump rod had just slipped its collar, but it's enough of a little elbow grease and teamwork couldn't
00:54:26fix.
00:54:27Amazing.
00:54:28Hey, you should turn on tap inside just to make sure it's running up here.
00:54:30Oh, yes.
00:54:31Yes, I will.
00:54:35It worked.
00:54:36You're my hero.
00:54:37That's what I'm talking about.
00:54:39Hero, is that on your business card or just psychic?
00:54:42Okay.
00:54:43She's subtle, huh?
00:54:44Yeah.
00:54:44Charm ends the family.
00:54:49It's Maggie.
00:54:51Amazing.
00:54:52Hi, honey.
00:54:53Guess who's here?
00:54:54Hi.
00:54:55Hi.
00:54:56Auntie Lori.
00:54:56Hey, Matt.
00:54:57Are you okay?
00:54:58I'm glad you're there this weekend because I won't be.
00:55:02What?
00:55:03Honey, what are you talking about?
00:55:05There's just so much schoolwork and I'm not used to being this behind before.
00:55:10Okay.
00:55:10Well, just tell me what I can do to help.
00:55:12No.
00:55:12This is something I have to do on my own.
00:55:14Honey, you are never on your own.
00:55:16But don't worry about it, okay?
00:55:17There'll be a million fun weekends for us together on the ranch.
00:55:20You promise?
00:55:21I promise.
00:55:23And if I can do anything, please just...
00:55:25No, you can call me anytime, okay?
00:55:27Bye.
00:55:28I love you.
00:55:29I love you.
00:55:35Hey.
00:55:36Everything okay?
00:55:37Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:55:38It's just Maggie's not coming to the giddy-up gala.
00:55:40She's got too much schoolwork.
00:55:42Oh, no.
00:55:43I'm sorry.
00:55:44You know?
00:55:45So much to do, so little time, eh?
00:55:47Right.
00:55:49So, Lori just asked Tom if she could go see his cattle.
00:55:54Of course she did.
00:55:57Hey, should we go fix your fence?
00:56:00Yeah.
00:56:02Thanks.
00:56:02All right.
00:56:03You ready?
00:56:04No, I kind of need you to...
00:56:06Yeah, yeah.
00:56:07There.
00:56:07I got it.
00:56:08Wait, hold on.
00:56:09One more second.
00:56:09One more second.
00:56:11Wait, hold on.
00:56:12Hold on.
00:56:13Okay.
00:56:17Okay, you want to tighten that?
00:56:20Okay.
00:56:23Feels good to fix something, huh?
00:56:25Yeah.
00:56:26It's been a long time coming.
00:56:28Think it'll hold?
00:56:30I think it'll hold just fine.
00:56:36You know, I do realize that moving to your ex's new town and buying a business just to try to
00:56:42win her back would come off a little, uh, unhinged.
00:56:48But I'm for real about this, Hope.
00:56:50I am.
00:56:51I thought it through, and I think if you're willing to give us a second chance, we could, uh, we
00:56:56could have that forever kind of thing.
00:57:01No pressure.
00:57:02No pressure, of course.
00:57:04You always made me laugh more than anyone else.
00:57:06Well, that's what I'm here for.
00:57:09You also drive me crazy more than anyone else.
00:57:11A little less of that then, maybe.
00:57:16I know I pushed you away, but I didn't want to be the one to stand in your way of
00:57:20following your dreams.
00:57:22And then, you never called.
00:57:25Well, now, Lori always kept me in the loop about Maggie.
00:57:28She said you wanted no contact, so I didn't want to...
00:57:30No, it's true.
00:57:31I did tell her that.
00:57:33I was mad at you.
00:57:35And I was mad at me.
00:57:36And I just thought it would be easier to stay angry at you for ten years.
00:57:42And that's right.
00:57:43Ten years.
00:57:46Wow.
00:57:48Ten years, a city of eight million people, and I've never found anyone as beautiful or brave.
00:57:57Go on.
00:58:00As wonderful a mother.
00:58:02I never found someone who was a perfect partner for me as you.
00:58:09What if we fight?
00:58:10We will.
00:58:12We'll make up.
00:58:14What if we break?
00:58:16Then we'll fix it.
00:58:19Just like the fence.
00:58:25Okay.
00:58:33I'm...
00:58:34I just...
00:58:36I don't know if I'm ready.
00:58:39For this?
00:58:41For anything.
00:58:43No.
00:58:44For us.
00:58:46It feels right.
00:58:49I just don't know if it is.
00:58:51You know, we're not 25 anymore.
00:58:54Well...
00:58:56You know what I mean?
00:58:57You know what I mean?
00:58:58That I just...
00:58:59I'm scared.
00:58:59I'm scared of, uh...
00:59:01Of letting this matter...
00:59:03Again.
00:59:06You...
00:59:06You come back into my life.
00:59:08Like nothing ever happened, but it did.
00:59:10It did happen, and it...
00:59:13It makes me afraid...
00:59:16To trust this feeling.
00:59:18Hey.
00:59:21If you can't trust yourself...
00:59:24You can go ahead and trust me.
00:59:27I don't know if I can.
00:59:34Okay.
00:59:37Um...
00:59:38I gotta get back to the shop.
00:59:39Uh...
00:59:40The day's kinda getting away from me.
00:59:41Are you good here?
00:59:42Yeah.
00:59:43Jack.
00:59:43It's okay.
00:59:45Yeah.
00:59:46Okay.
00:59:47Jack.
00:59:48Jack!
01:00:06Captain's so great...
01:00:07Right?
01:00:09I mean...
01:00:10Pumped something and wasn't Ethan.
01:00:12Hopefully he's here for the...
01:00:16Oh!
01:00:17I think he's there!
01:00:17Yeah, come on!
01:00:26Hi, Tom.
01:00:26Hi.
01:00:27Hi, y'all.
01:00:28Oh, Mayor, hi.
01:00:29Ladies, you look fabulous.
01:00:31Thanks.
01:00:32Hope, still need that paperwork.
01:00:34Right.
01:00:34Yes, I'm working on it.
01:00:35Well, you can get Jim's sign-off tonight.
01:00:37He's in a good mood.
01:00:38He only works half a day on Fridays.
01:00:41Laura, she's over there, but I wouldn't ask her at the two-step.
01:00:45Best to wait until she's in our office.
01:00:46Appreciate the advice.
01:00:48You're back.
01:00:49Hope, you're going to hang right here for a second for me, please?
01:00:52Sure.
01:00:53Can I have that?
01:00:54Thank you so much.
01:00:56Hey, everybody, can I have your attention, please?
01:00:59Before we get this party started, we all know that our old barn was remodeled a few years ago,
01:01:06and it's been empty ever since.
01:01:08I want to introduce you to Hope, someone who's literally bringing back Hope to Rui Doso.
01:01:15Hope.
01:01:18Thank you so much.
01:01:21Thank you so much.
01:01:45Well, howdy.
01:01:46I want everyone to come, bring your family, bring your friends.
01:01:48Come on down to Hope Ranch for the Giddy Up Gala.
01:01:54Yeah.
01:01:55All right, enough talk.
01:01:56Let's dance.
01:02:01Hey there.
01:02:02Wow, you look, uh, great.
01:02:05Should we just put our problems aside and kick up our heels?
01:02:07What do you say?
01:02:08Well, I didn't bring any heels.
01:02:11Oh, that's a shame.
01:02:12Oh, my God.
01:02:15Oh, my God.
01:02:17You say it's fate.
01:02:21Five, six, seven, eight.
01:02:24Great fine.
01:02:25Oh, my God.
01:02:26Maybe it comes because you're caught.
01:02:29And back.
01:02:31Spin, yeah.
01:02:33Yeah.
01:02:34Great fine.
01:02:41You dance?
01:02:43Uh, sometimes.
01:02:46Well, you are tonight.
01:02:48Let's go!
01:03:00So, just right there, that one that's kind of red, is Antares.
01:03:06I'm part of the scorpion.
01:03:08Okay, oh.
01:03:09Scorpion, huh?
01:03:10Mm-hmm.
01:03:11Yeah, that tracks.
01:03:15You have the hardest elbows ever, still.
01:03:18Yeah, yeah, I pride myself.
01:03:21I didn't know you could dance like that.
01:03:24Yeah, see?
01:03:25There's a lot of stuff you don't know about me.
01:03:28I guess that's true now.
01:03:32Tell me about New York.
01:03:35Well, I'll tell you what New York doesn't have with skies like this.
01:03:40This is incredible.
01:03:41It really is.
01:03:43What else doesn't I have?
01:04:00Hi-ho!
01:04:07Thank you!
01:04:09Thank you!
01:04:22Hi!
01:04:23Will you come to a gala?
01:04:24Oh!
01:04:25I hope you'll come to the Giddy Up Gala.
01:04:31Thank you!
01:04:47Wow, you weren't kidding, Hope.
01:04:48This looks amazing.
01:04:50I know.
01:04:50When I saw the photos online, I realized this would be the perfect place to have the Giddy Up Gala.
01:04:55So is this where all the lucky cowboys get to take the pretty girls for a twirl?
01:04:59Well, let's test it out.
01:05:00Yeah.
01:05:01Perfect.
01:05:01That's pretty good.
01:05:02Yeah.
01:05:06Come here.
01:05:13It's Maggie.
01:05:14She's the only one who can ping my phone like that.
01:05:16She's...
01:05:17Alright, well, I heard it.
01:05:21She's here.
01:05:26That's so romantic.
01:05:28Just like the notebook.
01:05:29Did that one end with a happily ever after?
01:05:32Are you kidding?
01:05:33They got back together.
01:05:35That's like the happiest ever after.
01:05:39So, are you and Jack getting back together?
01:05:42Would you be okay if we did?
01:05:43Jack is the best.
01:05:45Even after you guys broke up, he still sent me a birthday card every single year.
01:05:50Wait, he did?
01:05:52Yeah.
01:05:53Auntie Lori would sneak it in with her card.
01:05:56Oh, she would, would she?
01:05:57Hmm.
01:05:58Yeah.
01:05:59I loved Jack, even when he was gone.
01:06:03That love.
01:06:05You know, it doesn't just end.
01:06:11You're right about that.
01:06:13It doesn't.
01:06:15So, do you still love Jack?
01:06:18It's complicated.
01:06:19It doesn't have to be.
01:06:21When did you get so smart?
01:06:23In college.
01:06:26You're okay to be here with all your school work and everything?
01:06:29Yeah.
01:06:29I joined a study group.
01:06:31Really?
01:06:32It's the weirdest thing.
01:06:34It's like, I help them and they help me.
01:06:38Right.
01:06:39That is how that works.
01:06:40Just because you can do everything by yourself, doesn't mean you have to.
01:06:47I never thought I'd hear you say that, Mom.
01:06:51Well, I guess we're both still learning.
01:06:53And there's one more thing.
01:06:54I think I've decided I want to become a veterinarian.
01:06:58You do?
01:06:59Yeah.
01:07:00And with animals out here.
01:07:01Like horses, cattle, chickens.
01:07:05You'll be really good at that.
01:07:09You're okay staying here with me tonight?
01:07:11I had to give up the extra bedrooms for the guests since I overbooked.
01:07:14Yeah, of course, Mom.
01:07:15I'll get ready for bed.
01:07:20Happy Giddyup Gala Eve.
01:07:21You too.
01:07:40Oh, nice to see you here this morning, Houdini.
01:07:43Now stay put.
01:07:49Go out there.
01:07:51Okay.
01:07:51It's your turn, Ranger.
01:07:54Yeah.
01:07:55Yeah.
01:07:55How are you feeling?
01:07:58Are you my friend today?
01:08:00Are we finally friends?
01:08:04So...
01:08:04Yeah.
01:08:22Yeah.
01:08:23Yeah.
01:08:24Yeah, I'm just gonna get up here.
01:08:24Or...
01:08:32You too.
01:08:35Yeah.
01:08:37Yeah.
01:08:38Yeah.
01:08:40Yeah.
01:08:41Yeah.
01:08:41Yeah.
01:08:43Yeah.
01:08:43Yeah.
01:08:44Yeah.
01:08:45Yeah.
01:08:46Yeah.
01:08:55Oh, today's the day.
01:08:58I can't believe it.
01:09:05Morning.
01:09:15Oh, oh, great.
01:09:17Thank you so much.
01:09:18You know, you can take everything out to the back of the barn.
01:09:34Okay.
01:09:48Knock, knock.
01:09:49Oh.
01:09:50Smells good in here.
01:09:52I thought you were the caterer.
01:09:54Uh-huh.
01:09:54Sorry to disappoint.
01:09:55No.
01:09:56These scones probably won't disappoint, though.
01:09:58Is this your Grandma Mary's famous recipe?
01:10:00Yes, it is, actually.
01:10:01But I was hoping to add fresh strawberries from my garden for the scones, but the deer ate
01:10:07my entire garden, so I have nothing homegrown to share with my guests.
01:10:10Mm-hmm.
01:10:11Those are better than I remember.
01:10:12Aw.
01:10:12I feel like a lot of things are kind of better than I remember them.
01:10:15Do you feel that way, too?
01:10:17Oh, I do feel...
01:10:17Inspector Dave.
01:10:18What?
01:10:19The inspector.
01:10:20He's here.
01:10:21That's his car.
01:10:21I have to...
01:10:24Okay.
01:10:25Hey, man.
01:10:26Just in case you want one.
01:10:31I'm taking one of these.
01:10:33Inspector, good morning.
01:10:34Wow.
01:10:35You're here early.
01:10:36I know you got the gala today, so I thought it'd be good to get this out of the way.
01:10:40Yeah, you're absolutely right.
01:10:41But I bet you didn't have time for breakfast.
01:10:43Would you like to try a scone?
01:10:44It's my grandmother's recipe.
01:10:45They look delicious, but I can't accept any goodies until after your inspection.
01:10:51Of course.
01:10:51Of course.
01:10:52I totally understand.
01:10:53Well, I'll be around if you have any questions.
01:10:55Just pretty much everywhere.
01:10:58Who are they?
01:11:01Guests?
01:11:03Oh, they're crummy.
01:11:07Well, hello.
01:11:08Welcome to Hope Ranch.
01:11:23That's good form, girl.
01:11:25Thanks.
01:11:26It feels so good to be back in the saddle.
01:11:30Everything good with the guests?
01:11:31Yeah.
01:11:32They were actually really happy to have the rooms inside the house.
01:11:34It's perfect.
01:11:35Amazing.
01:11:39I, uh...
01:11:40Of course.
01:11:41Well, well, well.
01:11:43Look who it is.
01:11:44Hi, Jack.
01:11:45Like riding a bike, huh?
01:11:46Never gets old.
01:11:47Well, looks good on you.
01:11:48Oh, I missed you.
01:11:49I missed you too, kid.
01:11:51It's good to see you.
01:11:52It's good to see you too.
01:11:52Hey, Hope.
01:11:57So, how'd we do?
01:11:59So, you added support to your structures, made pathways visible, provided the facilities and
01:12:06clear exits.
01:12:07Mm-hmm.
01:12:07But.
01:12:08But?
01:12:09One of your livestock, a chicken, was roaming where she shouldn't.
01:12:15Houdini.
01:12:16She was, uh, wandering near the proposed food prep station.
01:12:20That is a big no-no.
01:12:22However, I looked at your coop, and your fencing is secure.
01:12:27I don't know how she slipped out.
01:12:29She's a master of escape.
01:12:31Lucky for you, I admire a hen with guts.
01:12:36You passed, Hope.
01:12:38I'll see you tonight for the gala.
01:12:40Great.
01:12:40Keep that chicken in line.
01:12:42Yes, absolutely.
01:12:43She will be on lockdown.
01:12:45Thank you so, so much for making this happen.
01:12:47I, I really appreciate it.
01:12:51Oh, hi.
01:12:53Yeah, I can let you in the gate.
01:12:54Oh, stop.
01:12:55Wait.
01:12:56What?
01:12:58But the gala is tonight.
01:13:00Okay.
01:13:05Look at this.
01:13:06What do you think, Rooster?
01:13:08I'll be back in a minute.
01:13:09Okay.
01:13:11No, I mean, I understand.
01:13:13I'm just sorry that it was all spoiled.
01:13:16Thank you for letting me know.
01:13:22Hey.
01:13:23You left like Cinderella at midnight.
01:13:25Everything okay?
01:13:26No.
01:13:26No.
01:13:27It's not okay.
01:13:29All right.
01:13:30Can't be that bad.
01:13:31What's going on?
01:13:32Yes, it can.
01:13:33It is that bad.
01:13:33It's worse than that bad.
01:13:35It's bad.
01:13:37What happened?
01:13:38The caterer called and let me know that someone left the door to the walk-in refrigerator open
01:13:44and all of their food for tonight spoiled.
01:13:48What do you need?
01:13:49I need food.
01:13:51The entire town of Ruidoso is showing up here in three hours.
01:13:54And I have literally no food to serve them.
01:14:01Make some scrambled eggs, maybe.
01:14:04Time for your humor.
01:14:05Okay.
01:14:06Oh, yikes.
01:14:08I...
01:14:09Sorry, sorry, sorry.
01:14:10I got it.
01:14:11I got it.
01:14:11I got it.
01:14:11No, would you stop?
01:14:13Just stop.
01:14:14I can't even think with you standing here making jokes and telling me that it's all going to be okay
01:14:18if I just smile and ask for help.
01:14:20Because it's not.
01:14:21What?
01:14:23Okay.
01:14:25No problem.
