00:00:03I think that's everything.
00:00:05What? No, I'm gonna help you unpack.
00:00:07You're moving a whole house.
00:00:09Okay, we both have a lot going on right now,
00:00:12but I hope your freshman year is as magical as you are.
00:00:16I'm so proud of you.
00:00:17Thanks.
00:00:24He's always here with me.
00:00:26Well, you got your smarts from him.
00:00:29And he would have loved to have been here.
00:00:31You said you wouldn't cry.
00:00:32I'm not crying. You're crying.
00:00:36It's just desert dust.
00:00:38That's the fault we're not in Denver anymore.
00:00:40Definitely not.
00:00:43You are gonna crush it this year.
00:00:46Thanks, Mom.
00:00:47I love you so much.
00:00:49I love you, too.
00:00:52And besides, I'll see you in a couple weeks for the Giddy Up Gala.
00:00:55Oh, yeah. Wait, what's happening? Are you kicking me out?
00:00:57Never.
00:00:58Oh.
00:00:59Bye.
00:01:00Bye.
00:01:05Let's do this.
00:01:10My heart's telling me to go.
00:01:14Pack it up and head down the road.
00:01:19Take a chance and leave it all behind.
00:01:23Ready to get back some peace of mind.
00:01:26They say that you'll never leave.
00:01:31Well, that's what my heart believes.
00:01:35Don't turn it back.
00:01:37I want to be free.
00:01:40Only time will tell if it's for me.
00:01:44Been gone for way too long.
00:01:48Gonna go where I belong.
00:01:52Gonna go where I belong.
00:01:53No longer the earth's to roam.
00:01:56Headed home.
00:01:59Headed home.
00:02:02Headed home.
00:02:06Where I belong.
00:02:10I'm headed home.
00:02:12Headed home.
00:02:14Where I belong.
00:02:31Headed home.
00:02:36Headed home.
00:02:47Lori's Coffee and Floral Shop. This is Lori.
00:02:49You've got Hope's Ranch. This is Hope.
00:02:51You made it. How was the drive? How was the college drop-off? Tell me everything.
00:02:55The day has been great.
00:02:56But I am standing here, at the gate, literally about to step into my new life.
00:03:02So exciting.
00:03:03I can't believe it. I can't believe it's real. I have dreamed about this for so long.
00:03:07Oh, you deserve it, Hope. You really do.
00:03:10And you know what's exactly like I remember it as a kid?
00:03:12The bright sun, feels warm, and the dusty trails.
00:03:16Cute cowboys.
00:03:17Yes. I'm sure you'll meet one of those at the Giddy Up Gala. You're still coming in a couple weeks,
00:03:22right?
00:03:22Oh, I wouldn't miss it. Are you sure you don't need me to come early, help you move in, set
00:03:26up?
00:03:26I've made a plan. I am totally prepared.
00:03:28You always are.
00:03:31Hey, Hope. Um, sorry. Hey, someone just walked in. I'll talk to you later, okay?
00:03:36Okay. Well, I'll let you go then.
00:03:37All right. Love you.
00:03:42Well, I see you haven't changed your mind.
00:03:46Changed my mind about what?
00:03:48I mean, the boots are a little bit tight, but he said they'd break in.
00:03:52You're really committed to the whole... bit.
00:03:57It's not a bit, Lori. I'm not only a businessman, I'm a business owner now, okay?
00:04:02I'm expecting to look the part.
00:04:03When are you going to tell her, Jack? You've been down there for months.
00:04:05I know. I will. I will. I just want to get everything set up and running smoothly, you know, and
00:04:10it'll all just fall into place.
00:04:11Oh, it's going to fall. One way or another.
00:04:14You know what? You are something else. You're my little sister. You're supposed to be supportive.
00:04:18Well, just tell her, okay?
00:04:21Okay.
00:04:21Tell her.
00:04:22Bye.
00:04:23Bye.
00:04:27Bye.
00:04:50This is the perfect place for the Giddy Up Gala.
00:05:15Hi buddy, do you need a little extra, do you want a little more?
00:05:20You're such a good boy, here you go.
00:05:23We're gonna split this, how about, cause you already had some.
00:05:26Get some too.
00:05:27How about you Ranger?
00:05:29Do you need a little extra breakfast?
00:05:47Ma'am?
00:05:49Oh, careful there.
00:05:51Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:05:56I didn't mean to.
00:05:57My phone?
00:05:57I didn't mean to.
00:05:58Podcast?
00:05:59Country music.
00:06:02Tom Grayson.
00:06:03Oh, nice to meet you.
00:06:04I'm Hope Morgan.
00:06:06Perfect.
00:06:06Hope Ranch.
00:06:07Exactly.
00:06:08Doing this all on my own, so I guess I am taking after my name.
00:06:11I'm hopeful.
00:06:12I'm so sorry.
00:06:13I got...
00:06:13No, you're fine.
00:06:14No, you're fine.
00:06:15Yeah, no.
00:06:16I'm about a mile down the road at Grayson's Cattle Ranchers.
00:06:19Figured we couldn't stay strangers for long.
00:06:21It's nice to meet you, neighbor.
00:06:23Nice to meet you.
00:06:26Do I hear you're getting the Giddy Up Gala back up and running?
00:06:28Yeah.
00:06:29Yeah.
00:06:29I'm really excited about it.
00:06:31It's going to be my first weekend with guests, but I'm excited for the town.
00:06:34I thought I could bring back some of the old magic.
00:06:36Great.
00:06:40Well, listen, you know, or you already are doing, if you need a hand or if you have any questions
00:06:47or anything, I'm down the road.
00:06:50Yeah.
00:06:51About a mile?
00:06:53Yeah.
00:06:54I said that already.
00:06:57Oh, you know what?
00:06:58Actually, I do have a question about how much do you know about horse feed?
00:07:02I got about six of them.
00:07:03I can't get enough of the stuff.
00:07:04Perfect.
00:07:05So, 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,
00:07:15and I just didn't know.
00:07:16It's got a lot of corn.
00:07:17Yours is probably better suited for roughage.
00:07:19Right.
00:07:19I was thinking high fiber, low sugar, maybe a balancer pellet.
00:07:22You certainly know your stuff.
00:07:25Well, I grew up on my grandparents' ranch in Arizona, and they would bring me to the Giddy Up Gala
00:07:30every summer when I was a kid.
00:07:32I brought my daughter here.
00:07:33We love it.
00:07:35So, I'll just call the High Water and switch up with you.
00:07:38You probably should go in person.
00:07:40Why's that?
00:07:40He's the new owner.
00:07:41He's a little more hat than he is cattle.
00:07:45He's learning the ropes.
00:07:46He messed up my supply of salt slicks.
00:07:49Got it.
00:07:50And I'm still waiting on the right ones.
00:07:51So.
00:07:52Okay.
00:07:53I'm heading there tomorrow if you want to join.
00:07:55Yeah.
00:07:56Yeah.
00:07:56That'd be nice.
00:07:59Little Book Weaver.
00:08:01Nice enough guy.
00:08:01Just thinks this clipboard is his badge.
00:08:04I'll see you tomorrow.
00:08:06It's, um, nice to meet you, Hope.
00:08:08Nice to meet you, too.
00:08:17Well, hello.
00:08:18I'm Hope Morgan.
00:08:19Um, how can I help you?
00:08:21County Inspector Dave Weaver, welcome to Ruidoso.
00:08:25Thanks.
00:08:25Thanks.
00:08:25Thrilled to be here.
00:08:26But 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.
00:08:40So, uh, the Giddy Up Gala.
00:08:42The mayor said you were planning on bringing back our beloved tradition.
00:08:45Yep.
00:08:46Sure do miss it.
00:08:47Had some of the best times of my life on this very land.
00:08:49Yeah, I feel the same way.
00:08:50And I think a lot of other people do, too, because I have so many reservations to stay here for
00:08:54the gala.
00:08:55That's great, really.
00:08:57Um, the barn definitely passes, but the house and the stables, the last owners, never got around to retrofitting anything
00:09:04else.
00:09:05Oh.
00:09:05Here is an inspection checklist that I'll cross off before the big day.
00:09:13Um, parking needs to be away from mud holes and lighting, the pathways.
00:09:19Shouldn't be too much to do before the Giddy Up Gala, if you get a couple of, uh, helping hands,
00:09:24you know.
00:09:24Now, let's see when I can schedule you in for, how is the morning of the 25th?
00:09:29Oh, no, that's the day of the gala.
00:09:31Oh, well, how about the afternoon, then?
00:09:33Of the 25th?
00:09:34No, I-I was hoping maybe we could do it before that.
00:09:38The 25th is the first opening I've got.
00:09:42I'm sure you're planning on passing the inspection.
00:09:45It shouldn't be a problem.
00:09:47Right.
00:09:48Right.
00:09:48You're right.
00:09:49I'm sure it'll be fine.
00:09:50So, that'll be great.
00:09:52Really looking forward to it.
00:09:53All of Ruedoso is.
00:09:54It's the, uh, talk of the town.
00:09:56I'll see you in a couple of weeks.
00:09:58Ha.
00:09:59Okay.
00:10:29Good morning, ladies.
00:10:31Come on out.
00:10:32Everybody out.
00:10:35There you go.
00:10:36There you go.
00:10:37Everybody out.
00:10:41Enjoy.
00:10:42Enjoy your breakfast, ladies.
00:10:54Okay.
00:10:56You're all clean.
00:10:58Good boy.
00:11:00Yeah.
00:11:01Such a good boy.
00:11:03Okay, go out.
00:11:03Enjoy the pasture.
00:11:05You too, buddy.
00:11:07You look beautiful.
00:11:09On your mane looks beautiful.
00:11:12Go for it.
00:11:14And you, Ranger.
00:11:17Nope.
00:11:18Still don't like to be pet, huh?
00:11:23All right, all right.
00:11:24Let me just take your halter off.
00:11:25Don't get mad.
00:11:33All right, Ranger.
00:11:34When you're ready, you can come join us in the pasture.
00:11:42All right.
00:11:44Ranger, when you're ready, you can come join us in the pasture.
00:11:44Well, you were right about Inspector Dave.
00:11:45He is nice, but very strict.
00:11:48He gave me a whole to-do list of things I have to accomplish before the gala.
00:11:52This looks great.
00:11:54Oh.
00:11:56You're welcome.
00:11:58Hi.
00:11:58Welcome to High Water.
00:12:00The smell of pine and leather, huh?
00:12:03Nothing like it.
00:12:05Nothing like it.
00:12:05Add it.
00:12:06Add 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 she doesn't 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.
00:12:42Tag and see.
00:12:43No.
00:12:44Okay.
00:12:45No problem.
00:12:45No, no.
00:12:46Sorry.
00:12:46The no wasn't for you.
00:12:47The no is because-
00:12:48Sorry about that.
00:12:49You must be the new owner.
00:12:50Yes, sir.
00:12:54I'm Jack.
00:12:55Nice to meet you.
00:12:56You as well.
00:12:57Hate to complain first time meeting you, but-
00:12:59If you're looking for grooming brushes, we have-
00:13:02I'm here about some mineral blocks I ordered some time ago under 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-
00:13:22You two-
00:13:22Do you 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.
00:13:41Okay.
00:13:44Yeah, I'm gonna go talk to-
00:13:47Someone.
00:13:50Sounds good.
00:13:53That's weird.
00:13:54No one out there.
00:13:55So I 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.
00:14:10Oh.
00:14:12Okay.
00:14:12Listen.
00:14:13She mentioned it, but it-
00:14:14She let something slip, and then you got the whole story out of her.
00:14:17No, 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, you were always the finish line, Hope.
00:14:33Listen.
00:14:34Hi.
00:14:35Hi.
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 gonna say?
00:15:01You 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, so is that, is that a no?
00:15:29Yes!
00:15:29I mean, no!
00:15:30I mean, do 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, I mean, I could-
00:15:45I do need to order two 50-pound bags of the Meadow Mix horse feed.
00:15:50Two 50 of Meadow Mix. You got it.
00:15:57And technically, it would have been a trilogy.
00:15:59Oh, right.
00:16:03Trilogy, you hear that?
00:16:05She wants a trilogy.
00:16:37Hello?
00:16:38Your brother moved to Ruedozo.
00:16:40Oh, 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 of the time.
00:17:01Is he wearing the cowboy boots?
00:17:03And the hat?
00:17:04And a buckle?
00:17:05And his jeans are too tight.
00:17:07He'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, and 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?
00:17:34I would never.
00:17:36I'm serious.
00:17:37Talk to you later.
00:17:38Bye.
00:17:39Toodles.
00:17:46Come on, girls.
00:17:48How did you get out?
00:17:50Or in?
00:17:54Cleaning the fifth, I see.
00:17:57All right.
00:18:00All right, let'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?
00:18:15Okay.
00:18:32Choke cherries.
00:18:48Well, Ranger, look who decided to join us.
00:18:52Aww.
00:18:56Hi.
00:18:58You want to try a choke cherry?
00:19:00No.
00:19:01Okay.
00:19:02I thought you might like it.
00:19:08Well, you guys enjoy your greys.
00:19:10I've got work to do.
00:19:30What'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, I know.
00:19:50Two...
00:19:51Oh my gosh, 250.
00:19:53That is the 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, I will be back with the proper allotment of feed, okay?
00:20:25No, don'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.
00:20:34I'm going.
00:20:35Can I just say that 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?
00:20:42Probably 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-ha!
00:20:49Whoo!
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, I think that's true.
00:21:15Hello.
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.
00:21:27That'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, hi.
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.
00:21:49Me, 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 where it gets around.
00:21:58Plus, you know, Dave's desk is right next to mine.
00:22:01Of course.
00:22:01Well, 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.
00:22:08You 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.
00:22:25All 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.
00:22:38Yeah, well, 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 right?
00:22:48Word does travel past this town.
00:22:50Yeah.
00:22:51Um, 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.
00:23:00You too.
00:23:06All right, Ranger.
00:23:07It is you and me, buddy.
00:23:08They were...
00:23:12They're gone.
00:23:31Look at me.
00:23:45Thank you so much.
00:23:46I so appreciate this.
00:23:47Anytime.
00:23:49You ready?
00:23:50Yeah, I'm ready.
00:23:53Hey, guys.
00:23:55Jack.
00:23:56Hey, Jack.
00:23:58Hope, I got your feed.
00:24:00Just point me towards the horses.
00:24:02Oh.
00:24:02Well, I can't do that because they've escaped the pasture.
00:24:05Oh.
00:24:05Yeah, we're heading out riding now to wrangle them.
00:24:08We'll wrangle them, huh?
00:24:08Real cowboy stuff.
00:24:09All 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.
00:24:15I can keep up.
00:24:16Yeah.
00:24:17Horses don't like loud machines.
00:24:19Right.
00:24:20Hey, listen.
00:24:20I'm so sorry.
00:24:21Will you just put the feed in this table for me?
00:24:23Thank you so much.
00:24:24Uh-huh.
00:24:24Yeah.
00:24:25For sure.
00:24:49There.
00:24:50Yeah, I see him.
00:24:52Come on.
00:24:52Let's go get him.
00:24:58Oh, boy.
00:24:59Just relax.
00:25:00You're okay.
00:25:01You're okay.
00:25:04Hey, put your hand up.
00:25:06Oh, boy.
00:25:08Oh, boy.
00:25:09That's my boy.
00:25:11See?
00:25:12Now you're safe and sound.
00:25:14Oh, one down, three to go.
00:25:16You know Ranger's not gonna give up without a fight.
00:25:18Ah, he'll come around.
00:25:19You have a way with difficult ones, I can tell.
00:25:27Let's take him back and then we'll go look for Ranger.
00:25:34All right.
00:25:34Good boy.
00:25:36You could be training horses every day or so down with 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?
00:25:54Huh?
00:25:57There he goes.
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 Rudeoso.
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 and 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?
00:26:34Yeah.
00:26:36What?
00:26:37They may not take you too seriously.
00:26:39You have a better idea?
00:26:43Wow!
00:26:44Good.
00:26:45It's still here.
00:26:55This is so cool.
00:26:57Want me to check under the hood and make sure it's still breathing?
00:26:59Oh.
00:27:00No.
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.
00:27:07Well, I'm out.
00:27:08Hey, um, thanks for your help today.
00:27:12What are neighbors for?
00:27:21Whoa!
00:27:23Hey!
00:27:23How did you...
00:27:25All right.
00:27:26I guess we'll just have to stop by the chicken coop.
00:27:29On our way.
00:27:30Out.
00:27:31All right, Mom.
00:27:32Do you have 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.
00:27:52For you.
00:28:15Oh, hi.
00:28:16Oh, hi.
00:28:20Oh, hi.
00:28:32Oh, hi. I wanted to invite you to the Giddy Up Gala. I hope I see you there.
00:28:37Thank you, ma'am.
00:28:47Oh, hi. Please come to our Giddy Up Gala. We'll be thrilled to see you there.
00:28:52Have a nice day.
00:28:58Hello, sir. I hope you'll meet us at the Giddy Up Gala.
00:29:02Hi. We're bringing Giddy Up Gala back, so we hope we see you there.
00:29:08Oh, sir. We would love to have you join us at Hope Ranch for the Giddy Up Gala.
00:29:17Oh, no.
00:29:18What the...
00:29:20What's going on?
00:29:45What are you laughing at?
00:29:51Oh, no. Oh, no.
00:29:54Oh, no.
00:30:05No, no. You're going the wrong way. Come on. Over here.
00:30:10Oh, no. Got you. This way.
00:30:16You don't want to be picked up, then just go inside.
00:30:19Like that time. Yes.
00:30:21Oh.
00:30:22You're back. Okay?
00:30:24Look at that. I did it.
00:30:30How did you do that?
00:30:32Okay. Okay. I think you need your own name.
00:30:36You know, you're small and mighty, but you're very good at magically appearing out of nowhere.
00:30:44You're an expert at escape.
00:30:46You're Houdini.
00:30:48That's perfect.
00:30:49Oh.
00:31:00Oh, my God.
00:31:22Oh, my God.
00:32:03Oh, my God.
00:32:05Sorry.
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?
00:32:35Like, find a tutor?
00:32:36No, I'll be fine.
00:32:39You 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.
00:32:55What are diamonds made of?
00:32:58Cole.
00:33:00Maggie?
00:33:02Pressure.
00:33:04That's right.
00:33:06You can only take one test at a time, and you 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.
00:33:34Yeah.
00:33:35Love you.
00:33:44All right.
00:33:46I guess we should get to it.
00:33:49Okay.
00:33:51No.
00:33:52Ranger, come on.
00:33:53Come on.
00:33:54We're going to go out and get some grass.
00:33:56Oh.

00:34:00Okay.
00:34:00You 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.
00:34:11You can stay here.
00:34:11You don't have to.
00:34:12You just come out whenever you're ready.

00:42:47Okay.
00:42:48Whew.
00:42:58Good deal.
00:43:36Will this be all for you today?
00:43:38Yes, thank you.
00:43:41Her horses all got loose week one, ate all George Mueller's petunias.
00:43:46And we're trusting her with her county's most cherished tradition.
00:43:50I think it's better to live on the past.
00:43:52She's got maybe a Winona's full of support.
00:43:54So, hopefully, she's got all the help she can get.
00:43:58She's gonna need it.
00:44:07All right.
00:44:09They're out of oat milk, so you get 2%.
00:44:23Do you 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.
00:44:35You might 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.
00:44:44Tom to the rescue.
00:44:45That could work.
00:44:46Uh, no.
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.
00:44:51Whatever you need, put it on our tab.
00:44:53Uh, Jarek.
00:45:08Hey, there.
00:45:08Hey.
00:45:10Well, 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.
00:45:24And while 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.
00:45:51Oh, man.
00:45:53Is that right?
00:45:54Yeah.
00:45:55Okay.
00:45:56Thank you, Mary.
00:45:56You bet.
00:46:01Uh, Tom?
00:46:03Hey.
00:46:03How did you know I was having issues with the water?
00:46:05I 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.
00:46:15Your previous owners, they never did fix this thing, right?
00:46:19There's only so much that duct tape can do.
00:46:22Right.
00:46:22You don't mind me being out here, though, do you?
00:46:25No.
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.
00:46:34Hey, I meant to ask you about the honky-tonk in town.
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 Rito, 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.
00:47:00Sure.
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 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.
00:47:34Yeah, 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 to do it 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.
00:47:59Because, you know, I hate asking for help.
00:48:01I know.
00:48:02And 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.
00:48:08Raised 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.
00:48:37Listen, I know that that was probably tricky to say, but I just got to hear it one more time.
00:48:40What did you say?
00:48:44I need your help.
00:48:45Ah.
00:48:46Oh, boy.
00:48:46Just once more.
00:48:48No way.
00:48:48Now 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.
00:49:00I'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.
00:49:16Oh.
00:49:19Oh, no.
00:49:21Oh, no.
00:49:23I'm overbooked.
00:49:26Double booked.
00:49:29Uh, um, problem with booking.
00:49:35Okay, okay, never mind.
00:49:36Speak to a representative.
00:49:3845 minute wait.
00:49:40Oh, no.
00:49:41Okay.
00:49:42It's fine.
00:49:43Just wait.
00:49:44I'll just...
00:49:45Oh, I'll take the neighbor some flowers.
00:49:48That'll be perfect.
00:49:52What?
00:49:54Are you a desert mirage?
00:49:55Not a mirage.
00:49:56I'm just a best friend.
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, because my horse got out of the pasture
00:50:07and trampled his garden.
00:50:08Oh, dear.
00:50:08Yeah, his 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 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, but 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 to the gardening.
00:50:38To the garden we go.
00:50:47I get it.
00:50:48No sirens, no horn.
00:50:50You can hear the birds.
00:50:52Yeah, it 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?
00:51:02You know, it can sometimes be lonely.
00:51:06Well, you're an empty nester now.
00:51:07That's a big change.
00:51:08Yeah.
00:51:09Yeah.
00:51:10Maybe that's it.
00:51:11Maggie's come into the giddy-up gullible, yeah?
00:51:13She said she would.
00:51:14I spoke to her last week, and she's feeling a little overwhelmed at school.
00:51:18Of course, she won't ask for help.
00:51:21Now you know how we all feel.
00:51:22The support the Morgan Women's Support Club.
00:51:26I am not that bad.
00:51:30You don't have to prove anything to anyone.
00:51:32You're out here actually doing it.
00:51:34I know, but 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.
00:51:53Even Jack.
00:51:56It's not like I haven't thought about it.
00:51:58But Jack and I tried again, and 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, that it was a bad idea.
00:52:11Hopeless.
00:52:12But he was so convinced that moving here would win you back.
00:52:17And 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.
00:52:28Oh, making sure there's enough rooms, because, you know, I'm overbooked.
00:52:32Oh, well, I can stay with Jack.
00:52:33Yeah, 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 ranger's behalf.
00:52:53I forgot about that.
00:52:55Let's do it.
00:53:04All right.
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 running 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.
00:53:46Okay, so I just have to fill out all these applications and then woo some signatures out of people.
00:53:50Heavily 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.
00:54:10That'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 nothing real.
00:54:25Elbow grease and teamwork couldn't fix.
00:54:27Amazing.
00:54:28Hey, you should turn on tap inside.
00:54:29Just make sure it's running up here.
00:54:30Oh, yes.
00:54:31Yes, I will.
00:54:34It works.
00:54:36You're my hero.
00:54:37That's what I'm talking about.
00:54:39Hero.
00:54:40Hero, is that on your business card or just a side gig?
00:54:42Okay.
00:54:43She's subtle, huh?
00:54:44Yeah, the charm 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, Auntie Lori.
00:54:56Hey, Max.
00:54:57Are you okay?
00:54:58I'm glad you're there this weekend because I won't be.
00:55:03What?
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 know you can call me anytime, okay?
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, so much to do, so little time, right?
00:55:47Right.
00:55:49So, Laurie 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, there.
00:56:07I got it.
00:56:08Wait, hold on.
00:56:09Just one more second.
00:56:09One more second.
00:56:11Wait, hold on.
00:56:12Hold on.
00:56:13Okay.
00:56:17Okay.
00:56:18You want to tighten that?
00:56:20Okay.
00:56:23Feels good to fix something, huh?
00:56:25Yeah.
00:56:26It's got 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
00:56:40and buying a business just to try to win her back
00:56:42could come off a little unhinged.
00:56:48But I'm for real about this, Hope.
00:56:50I am.
00:56:51I've thought it through,
00:56:52and I think if you're willing to give us a second chance,
00:56:54we could have that forever kind of thing.
00:56:58Okay.
00:57:00Okay.
00:57:01No 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,
00:57:18but I didn't want to be the one to stand in your way
00:57:20of following 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.
00:57:37And I just thought it would be easier
00:57:38to stay angry at you for ten years.
00:57:42And I was right.
00:57:43Ten years.
00:57:46Wow.
00:57:48Ten years, a city of eight million people,
00:57:49and I never found anyone who's beautiful or brave.
00:57:57Go on.
00:58:00As wonderful a mother.
00:58:02I never found someone who's 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?
00:58:16And we'll fix it, right?
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, or...
00:58:41For anything.
00:58:43For us.
00:58:46Feels right.
00:58:49I just don't know if it is.
00:58:51You know, we're not 25 anymore.
00:58:56You know what I mean?
00:58:57That 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 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.
00:59:19Hey.
00:59:21If you can't trust yourself...
00:59:24You can go ahead and trust me.
00:59:26I don't know if I can.
00:59:29I 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 kind of 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.
00:59:51Jack.
01:00:09Tom said he was going to be here, so hopefully he's here for the...
01:00:16Oh, oh, I 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.
01:00:31Hope, 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 days 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 her office.
01:00:46Appreciate the advice.
01:00:48You bet.
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
01:01:06ago, and it's been empty ever since.
01:01:08I want to introduce you to Hope, someone who's literally bringing back Hope to Rui Dosa.
01:01:15Hope.
01:01:19Thank you so much.
01:01:21Well, howdy.
01:01:22And I want to thank all of you for being so welcoming.
01:01:25And I just have to say the Giddy Up Gala tradition is something that is so important to every single
01:01:31one of us.
01:01:33So I look forward to all of you coming down to Hope Ranch, and I can meet you all there
01:01:37in person.
01:01:40How much are tickets?
01:01:43They're free.
01:01:44I'm not charging, so I want everyone to come.
01:01:46Bring your family.
01:01:47Bring your friends.
01:01:48Come on down to Hope Ranch for the Giddy Up Gala.
01:01:54Yeah.
01:01:55All right.
01:01:56Now 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.
01:02:21Five, six, seven, eight, break on!
01:02:29And back!
01:02:31Spin!
01:02:33Yeah!
01:02:34And hold your shaky ground and you're all away from me.
01:02:41You dance?
01:02:43Uh, sometimes.
01:02:46Well, we are tonight.
01:02:48Let's go!
01:02:49Let's see.
01:02:50What's meant to be?
01:02:52Hi.
01:02:53Hey.
01:02:55Hey.
01:02:55Hey.
01:02:56Hey.
01:02:56Hey.
01:02:57Hey.
01:02:59Hey.
01:03:01So, just right there, that one that's kind of red, is Antares, the heart of the scorpion.
01:03:08Okay.
01:03:08Oh.
01:03:09Scorpion, huh?
01:03:10Mm-hmm.
01:03:10Yeah, that tracks.
01:03:12Oh.
01:03:13Oh.
01:03:15You have the hardest elbows ever, still.
01:03:18Yeah, yeah.
01:03:18I pride myself.
01:03:21I didn't know you could dance like that.
01:03:24Oh.
01:03:24See?
01:03:25There's a lot of stuff you don't know about me.
01:03:27Mm-hmm.
01:03:28I guess that's true now.
01:03:32Tell me about New York.
01:03:36Well, 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 it have?
01:03:59I hope.
01:04:06Hi-ho.
01:04:07Hi-ho.
01:04:08Hi-ho.
01:04:09Hi-ho.
01:04:12Hi-ho.
01:04:23Will you come to a gala?
01:04:24Oh, I hope you'll come to the Giddy Up Gala.
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?
01:04:58Oh.
01:04:59Well, let's test it out.
01:05:01Perfect.
01:05:01Is it 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...
01:05:17All right, 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.
01:05:38So, 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?
01:05:51Yeah.
01:05:53Auntie Lori would sneak it in with her card.
01:05:56Oh, she would, would she?
01:05:57Hmm.
01:05:58Yeah.
01:06:00I love Jack, even when he was gone.
01:06:02And that love, you 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 schoolwork and everything?
01:06:29Yeah, I 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.
01:06:50Well, 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, and with animals out here, like horses, cattle, chickens.
01:07:05You'll be really good at that.
01:07:09And you're okay staying here with me tonight?
01:07:10I had to give up the extra bedrooms for the guests since I overbooked.
01:07:14Yeah, of course, Mom.
01:07:15All right.
01:07:15I'll get ready for bed.
01:07:20Happy Giddy of Gala Eve.
01:07:22You too.
01:07:40Oh, nice to see you here this morning, Houdini.
01:07:43Now stay put.
01:07:49Go out there.
01:07:50Okay.
01:07:51It's your turn, Ranger.
01:07:54Yeah.
01:07:55Yeah, how are you feeling?
01:07:58Are you my friend today?
01:08:00Are we finally friends?
01:08:03Oh.
01:08:04Yeah.
01:08:13Yeah.
01:08:20Yeah.
01:08:26Yeah.
01:08:55Oh, today's the day.
01:08:58I can't believe it.
01:09:05Morning.
01:09:16Oh, thank you so much.
01:09:18You know, you can take everything out to the back of the barn.
01:09:45Okay.
01:09:47Knock, knock!
01:09:49Oh!
01:09:51Smells good in here.
01:09:52I thought you were the caterer.
01:09:54Uh-huh, sorry to disappoint.
01:09:55No, it's good.
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,
01:10:05but the deer ate my entire garden,
01:10:07so I have nothing homegrown to share with my guests.
01:10:10Mm-hmm.
01:10:11Those are better than I remember.
01:10:12Aw.
01:10:13I feel like a lot of things are kind of better than I remember them.
01:10:15Do you feel that way, too?
01:10:16Oh, I do feel...
01:10:17Inspector Dave!
01:10:18What?
01:10:19The inspector.
01:10:20He's... he'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, he wants one.
01:10:31Taking one of these.
01:10:32Inspector, good morning.
01:10:34Wow, you're here early.
01:10:36I know you got the gala today,
01:10:37so 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,
01:10:46but I can't accept any goodies until after your inspection.
01:10:50Of 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 early.
01:11:07Well, hello!
01:11:09Welcome to Hope Ranch!
01:11:24That's good form, girl!
01:11:26Thanks.
01:11:26It feels so good to be back in the saddle.
01:11:30Everything good with the guys?
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.
01:11:51It's good to see you, too.
01:11:53Hey, Hope!
01:11:57So, how'd we do?
01:11:59So, you added support to your structures, made pathways visible, provided the facilities,
01:12:06and clear exits.
01:12:07Mm-hmm.
01:12:08But...
01:12:08But?
01:12:09One of your livestock, a chicken, was roaming where she shouldn't.
01:12:15Houdini.
01:12:16She was 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.
01:12:37You 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.
01:12:44Thank 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.
01:13:05Look at this.
01:13:06What do you think, Ray Star?
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?
01:13:25No.
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.
01:13:32It 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.
01:13:55And 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.
01:14:07Yikes.
01:14:08I...
01:14:09Sorry, sorry, sorry.
01:14:10I 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
01:14:17to be okay if I just smile and ask for help.
01:14:20Because it's not.
01:14:23Okay.
01:14:25No problem.
01:14:26I'll leave you alone.
01:14:27I'm sorry.
01:14:44I'm sorry.
01:14:59I'm sorry.
01:15:00I was just trying to get you on the phone.
01:15:05Mom, can I give the tour?
01:15:07Okay, yeah.
01:15:08This is my right-hand rancher and also my daughter.
01:15:10Hi, I'm Maggie. Nice to meet you.
01:15:12And she knows this place better than I do.
01:15:13Let's start with the stables.
01:15:14Sounds good. Thank you.
01:15:18This is a nightmare.
01:15:19Hey, what's up?
01:15:21Nothing. I just didn't want Maggie to catch on.
01:15:23To what?
01:15:24To...
01:15:26The caterer called and were cancelled.
01:15:29I have nothing to serve for the entire night.
01:15:32Okay, so what do you want to do?
01:15:35I don't know.
01:15:36I literally have no idea.
01:15:37I just know I'm going to be the talk of the town
01:15:39and Hope Ranch is going to be a spectacular fail.
01:15:42We'll figure something out.
01:15:44You always figure something out.
01:15:46It just has to be better than scrambled eggs.
01:15:47What?
01:15:48That was your brother's joke.
01:15:49He thought he was so funny and I chewed him out
01:15:51and now he's probably halfway back to New York by now.
01:15:53Well, he's not going anywhere this time, Hope.
01:15:55I made such big promises to everyone in Ruedoso
01:15:57and now I'm not going to be able to deliver.
01:15:59Delivery!
01:16:02Mayor Winona!
01:16:03The place looks great, Hope.
01:16:05Thanks.
01:16:06I thought I'd just drop these off
01:16:07before someone in my house eats them.
01:16:10Choked cherry pies, our favorite.
01:16:12Right, right.
01:16:13Of course, thank you.
01:16:14I really appreciate it.
01:16:15It's the least I can do.
01:16:16You're bringing back Ruedoso's Giddy Up Gala.
01:16:20Well, I better giddy up myself, but I'll be back.
01:16:24I can't wait.
01:16:25Mayor?
01:16:27Um, sorry.
01:16:28Uh, I just need to ask you for some help.
01:16:36Welcome to High Water Attack and Feed.
01:16:38Happy to help.
01:16:41Now, that one doesn't even rhyme.
01:16:48Well, I guess not everything's a joke, is it?
01:16:53Hope, I'm sorry.
01:16:55I'm sorry.
01:16:55I...
01:16:56What?
01:16:56Why?
01:16:57I'm sorry.
01:16:58That's what I came here to tell you.
01:16:59I came here to apologize.
01:17:01No.
01:17:01My gosh, you don't.
01:17:03I...
01:17:03I was the one who was being an idiot,
01:17:05making jokes when you were busy in the kitchen.
01:17:07I should have just been listening to you.
01:17:08I was freaking out.
01:17:09And I overreacted.
01:17:11And I was turning into a Giddy Up Gala Godzilla.
01:17:17What?
01:17:19Yeah, which is a terrifying creature.
01:17:21You know what I mean?
01:17:21It's hard to say, too.
01:17:25You know, I ordered a photo booth for the party tonight.
01:17:29I was thinking maybe we could, um, you know,
01:17:32take a new photo for your wall.
01:17:34Yeah, I mean, we could, but, uh...
01:17:39You do look real pretty in that one.
01:17:41I mean, maybe I'll just keep them both.
01:17:47Jack.
01:17:50I'm really happy in Redoso.
01:17:54I like it here.
01:17:58Do you think you could be happy here?
01:18:01Yeah, you know, honestly, I...
01:18:03At first, I thought I'd miss the action
01:18:05and the noise of New York,
01:18:06but I like seeing the same faces
01:18:08come through that door every day,
01:18:10helping people out.
01:18:11It's...
01:18:12I'm happy.
01:18:13I am.
01:18:14I...
01:18:16I'd be a lot happier if you believe
01:18:17that I'm gonna stick around this time, Hope.
01:18:24If we do this,
01:18:27we have to promise that we're never gonna give up again.
01:18:31I promise I won't.
01:18:33Okay?
01:18:36Aren't you gonna kiss me, cowboy?
01:18:40I should never ask.
01:18:50Sorry about that.
01:18:52No problem.
01:18:54Actually, would you give me one second?
01:18:55No, no, no.
01:18:56I have to go.
01:18:57I have to get ready for the gala.
01:18:58I hope you're coming to the Giddy Up Gala tonight.
01:19:00I better see you there.
01:19:02You will.
01:19:06Woo!
01:19:07That has been a long time coming, sir.
01:19:08I'll tell you that for free.
01:19:27First time that I saw the girl,
01:19:29I knew that she changed my life.
01:19:31Oh, hey, Quid.
01:19:32Hi.
01:19:33Bowden family, thank you so much for being here.
01:19:35It's good to see you.
01:19:37Thank you so much for coming, Goya.
01:19:38Oh, and look at this plate, too.
01:19:39I really appreciate that.
01:19:40What a great idea.
01:19:42It's bringing the community together in a whole new way.
01:19:45Guess what, Mom?
01:19:46The buffet table, it's filling up.
01:19:48Yes!
01:19:49Do you think there's space for another plate?
01:19:50We'll make some.
01:19:51Perfect.
01:19:53Woo!
01:19:53This place is rocking.
01:19:54Look at this.
01:19:55Hi, Jack.
01:19:55Hey, darling.
01:19:56How are you?
01:19:56Thanks to Hope's quick thinking, she saved the day.
01:19:59Oh, no.
01:20:00It was actually your choked cherry pie
01:20:01that gave me the idea for the potluck.
01:20:04And she hooked me up with an email
01:20:06to the Ruidoso database.
01:20:08Solved the catering issue
01:20:09and introduced Hope to Ruidoso's town folks.
01:20:13There you go.
01:20:13It turns out this was such a big deal to ask for help.
01:20:16Okay.
01:20:17Something I've always said.
01:20:19I'll take your word for it.
01:20:20Waste and family secret recipe coming in hot.

01:21:53ho, ho, ho.
01:21:53Come on now.
01:21:54All right, all right, all right.
01:21:58Well, first of all, I have to say thank you so much for coming to the Giddy Up Gala.
01:22:07And I just want to say, I have to admit, when I first bought this place, I wanted to bring
01:22:13back the Giddy Up Gala because I had so many great memories from the past with it.
01:22:18And the truth is, being with all of you here tonight just makes me think of how great our
01:22:23future is going to be here in Rudoso.
01:22:26Woo!
01:22:30All right, y'all know what time it is!
01:22:36Let's finish.

01:22:56Good job.
01:22:58Yeah!
01:22:58I've been sweating out in the sun, doing the work till the work was done.
01:23:05All day long I've been thinking about what's waiting for me back at the house.
01:23:12Now this old boy's a man on a mission, wants some country kissing, country kissing, yeah!
01:23:22Oh yeah!
01:23:45All day long I've been designing a program like in the mountains.
01:23:46So, I think that's why I've been there for a long term, being a girl who's just a child who's
01:23:46just in front of us.
01:23:46When I see a girl who steals, I know you are like, I'm alone, I'm like...
01:23:48No, no, no, no, no.
