Women’ journey tensions and the aftermath
The episode started with a significant setup for battle when Nathan invited Amy to a dinner date at his place, promising to prepare dinner for her. Amy was very enthusiastic about their date, however issues took a flip when Lou advised her about an pressing weekend journey to Vancouver they wanted to take.
Lou wished to pitch Heartland Beef’s new bison enterprise to Crown Buyers, a significant grocery chain. Nonetheless, Jed, the CEO, advised Lou throughout a video name that he doesn’t do enterprise pitches himself anymore; as an alternative, he simply wished Amy’s assist together with his grandson’s dressage horse.
Nonetheless, Lou, being the wonderful businesswoman she is, managed to speak him into permitting her to pitch him Heartland Beef in return for Amy agreeing to work with the horse. So, Lou needed to get Amy on board with going to Vancouver.
Amy was hesitant, after all, particularly since she didn’t need to postpone her date with Nathan. However when Lou revealed the dire state of Heartland Beef’s funds after their funding within the bison herd, telling her that in the event that they didn’t get this deal, Heartland may not make it to the top of the yr, Amy reluctantly agreed. And Lou even roped Lisa into happening the journey, hoping her appeal and enterprise prowess would assist safe Lou the deal.
But, as soon as they arrived at Jed’s property, issues didn’t go easily in any respect.
Don’t need to learn the recap? You possibly can take heed to it as an alternative right here:
Amy realized Lou hadn’t disclosed the complete reality about why they had been there: Lou hadn’t advised her that they had been going to Vancouver not just for Lou to safe a brand new enterprise deal and Amy to assist with a dressage horse but additionally to pitch Crown Buyers of all companies a collaboration with Heartland Beef. One thing that actually upset Amy seeing that Crown Buyers had an unique settlement with Pryce Beef, Nathan’s household enterprise, and he or she didn’t need Lou to attempt to steal enterprise from Nathan.
So, as soon as Amy met Jed’s grandson and his horse and Lou and Lisa had time to pitch Jed, who couldn’t promise them something as a result of market being danger averse in the meanwhile, they received again to Peter’s condominium in Vancouver, and Amy lastly voiced her anger in direction of Lou.
Amy accused Lou of making an attempt to sabotage Nathan and hurting somebody she cared about. Whereas Lou defended herself, claiming she was solely making an attempt to avoid wasting Heartland. And Lisa was caught in the course of all of it.
Lisa tried to play mediator and calm Lou and Amy down. However to no avail, so Lisa determined to depart the 2 to it as soon as Amy began evaluating Nathan to Peter when Lou and Peter first began courting and he was “the enemy,” to which Lou took offense.
The stress remained thick for the entire night. However as soon as Lisa received them some scrumptious Thai meals and managed to get each Amy and Lou to return all the way down to get pleasure from it, she determined that she needed to do one thing about it and made the choice to inform them a private story about her estranged sister Tammy.
Lisa recounted how once they had been younger, she was very shut along with her sister. Nonetheless, they misplaced contact after Lisa confronted Tammy concerning the man Tammy was then courting, who seemingly was after Lisa’s household’s cash, just for that to trigger a rift between the 2 sisters that by no means healed.
Lisa’s story actually struck a chord with each Amy and Lou as a result of it led them to rethink their anger and really open up to one another.
Amy shared that Nathan’s dad has Alzheimer’s and that his sickness was inflicting problems for Nathan. Whereas Lou apologized for making assumptions about Nathan and advised Amy that because the older sister, she feels protecting of Amy, particularly after Ty’s demise.
Amy ended the dialog by telling Lou and Lisa how she’s afraid to like once more and that she would actually admire Lou’s help in all of it. They usually sealed their reconciliation by dancing round and at last absolutely having fun with their woman’s evening.
Amy: “You had been proper about one factor. Nathan is hiding one thing. His dad has Alzheimer’s. And Nathan’s been making an attempt actually onerous to maintain every part collectively, however his dad’s getting worse. And it’s actually troublesome for him. And it’s not my place to share that, so please simply preserve it between us.”
Lisa: “In fact.”
Lou: “I shouldn’t have made assumptions about him, Amy. I simply… I can’t assist myself typically. , I’m your large sister, and when Mother died, that took on much more which means, you realize? I do know I don’t do the very best job of it, however I attempt to defend you. I do, particularly because you misplaced Ty.”
Amy: “I do know… And I don’t need anybody to return between us, Lou. However regardless of what all people thinks, there’s something good about Nathan that I haven’t felt in a very long time. I’m scared to like somebody once more. I don’t know if my coronary heart’s prepared…however I’m going to want your help.”
In the long run, Jed even agreed to hold Heartland’s bison alongside Pryce Beef in Crown Buyers, which was a giant win for Heartland Beef.
However simply when issues had been trying up, Lou made a vital mistake: she unintentionally disclosed Nathan’s father’s situation to Jed, despite the fact that Amy particularly advised Lou to not inform anybody about Nathan Sr.’s Alzheimer’s.
In Lou’s protection, she felt actually unhealthy about her error. But, even when Lisa warned Lou to inform Amy immediately, she hesitated, understanding the fallout might be extreme.
And it was! On the very finish of the episode once they received again to the ranch and Amy lastly went to have their date at Nathan’s place, she discovered Nathan frantic. He was frazzled and burdened as a result of Pryce Beef’s greatest shopper, Crown Buyers, was dropping them.
Nathan defined that Jed had in some way came upon about his dad’s Alzheimer’s and, since Jed thought-about it a breach of belief that Nathan hadn’t disclosed that his father was now not in control of working the ranch, they had been terminating their unique take care of Pryce Beef.
Dropping Crown Buyers meant Nathan’s complete enterprise may collapse, and he may lose the ranch altogether. So, Amy was understandably shellshocked listening to all this and seeing Nathan so anxious.
I’ve a sense that Amy suspects that Lou might need one thing to do with Jed discovering out concerning the Alzheimer’s. However we didn’t see her saying something to Nathan on this episode.
Now I’m wondering if Amy will confront Lou about it and the way that can influence their already fragile relationship, particularly after their blowout in Vancouver. And what is going to Nathan’s response be as soon as he finds out that Amy sort of unintentionally was the rationale Crown Buyers dropped Pryce Beef?
It’s a troublesome scenario, for certain. However hopefully, it gained’t find yourself destroying the connection between each Amy and Lou and Amy and Nathan.
Path and belief
Even her anger in direction of Lou and her questionable enterprise ways didn’t cease Amy from serving to yet one more shopper horse.
As I discussed earlier than, Amy needed to go to Vancouver with Lou to work with a dressage horse belonging to Jed’s grandson, Reggie.
And whereas the stakes had been excessive – if the horse’s points couldn’t be resolved, Jed was able to eliminate the horse attributable to his worry of the horse throwing his grandson, a prospect that terrified Reggie – that solely fueled Amy to discover a resolution.
When Amy first met Reggie, he defined how a lot the horse, Sushi, meant to him.
Reggie had been moving into bother earlier than shifting in together with his grandfather, however working with Sushi had given him goal and helped him discover one thing he was good at. Nonetheless, lately, Sushi had change into simply spooked and was trembling rather a lot, making Reggie anxious that he may lose the horse that had change into his anchor.
Amy noticed Sushi and requested Reggie if something traumatic had occurred to the horse lately. And Reggie talked about an incident the place Sushi had reared and hit his head on the roof of a trailer after being spooked by a barking canine. This info led Amy to suspect that Sushi’s habits may be linked to a bodily situation.
So, the subsequent day, after some additional commentary, Amy found out the issue: Sushi had gone deaf.
Explaining her findings to Reggie and Jed, Amy emphasised that Sushi’s worry and nervousness stemmed from his lack of ability to listen to, which made the horse really feel weak and on edge. However Amy reassured them that Sushi may nonetheless dwell a satisfying and profitable life, at the same time as a dressage horse. The important thing was for Reggie to change into Sushi’s “ears” by staying calm, assured, and clear together with his cues.
Reggie took Amy’s recommendation to coronary heart and labored on being a robust, reassuring presence for Sushi.
And by the top of the episode, Reggie and Sushi carried out superbly, proving that with endurance and understanding, even probably the most difficult obstacles might be overcome.
Jed was additionally deeply impressed with Amy’s work. And in a satisfying conclusion for everybody concerned, we noticed Reggie’s bond with Sushi develop stronger than ever.
Though Sushi wasn’t Amy’s most troublesome shopper horse, the added stress of Amy working with a horse belonging to one in every of Heartland Beef’s potential purchasers was an fascinating twist to the standard shopper horse storyline. And it was so good to see Reggie genuinely excited for Amy to work with Sushi.
Jack’s well being struggles
Whereas Amy, Lou and Lisa had been in Vancouver, Jack confronted his personal challenges.
Firstly of the episode, after working with their new bison herd, Jack injured himself whereas closing the gate of the bison pen and needed to ask Lou for assist over the walkie-talkies.
It turned out that Jack had tweaked his again, and in true Jack vogue, he refused to go see a physician. So, Lisa, anxious about her husband’s well-being, recommended that he not less than see her therapeutic massage therapist, Michelle.
Jack initially resisted, feeling irritated by everybody fussing over him. However whereas the ladies had been away, he lastly gave in and arrange an appointment with this Michelle.
And to Jack’s shock, Michelle turned out to be a big, muscular man, not the petite feminine therapist Jack had anticipated.
The comedic second supplied some much-needed levity in an in any other case emotionally heavy episode. And whereas it was unhappy to see Jack injured, it helped to remind us that we’re all mortal and that typically overworking can result in damage.
Surprising heartbreak
Regardless of being injured, Jack nonetheless managed to assist Logan in Heartland season 18 episode 6.
After the native newspaper featured a photograph of Logan standing triumphantly on his horse at the final episode’s colt beginning competitors, Logan modified his thoughts about second place not being ok.
However whereas Logan was enthusiastic about seeing his image within the paper and was creating all these plans about getting publicity and build up his title by doing cold-starting clinics, his girlfriend Miley was beginning to doubt the power of their relationship.
She appeared delay by Logan’s have to impress her, despite the fact that she’s already happy with and impressed by him. So, when the 2 determined they wanted to speak, it appeared that that they had two very totally different conversations in thoughts.
Driving excessive on his newfound success, Logan determined it was time to take their relationship to the subsequent degree. He even requested Jack for recommendation on easy methods to suggest to Miley whereas he was serving to Jack repair a fense.
And whereas it was humorous seeing Jack inform Logan that he didn’t actually have any good proposal concepts since he proposed to Lisa on the sofa, they nonetheless managed to develop some form of plan for Logan’s proposal.
Seeing how Miley loves tenting, with the assistance of Jack’s tenting provides, Logan deliberate an elaborate tenting journey to a distant spot Jack and Lisa had discovered, the place he meant to suggest to Miley.
Nonetheless, the romantic proposal didn’t go as Logan had deliberate.
First, Logan had forgotten to verify the climate so it was raining once they arrived on the tenting spot. After which, when Logan truly received down on one knee and requested Miley to marry him, she confessed that she thought they had been on the verge of breaking apart.
Understandably, Logan was bowled over by Miley’s declaration, and the proposal shortly was an precise breakup after Miley advised Logan that whereas she beloved him, she additionally felt that he was at all times making an attempt to be somebody he wasn’t and thought he wanted time to determine who he was.
Logan: “God, I’m such an fool. I assumed we beloved one another.”
Miley: “No! I do love you! I like you for who you might be, however I don’t assume that that’s sufficient for you since you’re at all times making an attempt to be someone else. It’s like all people is aware of how superb you might be aside from you.”
Logan: “I’m so superb you’re… going to interrupt up with me?”
Miley: “I’m sorry, Logan. I simply assume that you just want a while to determine who you might be.”
Later, Jack discovered Logan heartbroken on the campsite when he turned as much as give the couple some further rain cowl for the tent. So, Logan confided in Jack, saying that he by no means actually felt like he was ok for Miley.
In return, Jack advised Logan about how intimidated he was by his first spouse, Lyndy, and shared some knowledge about how we as persons are usually drawn to those that have one thing we would like in ourselves however that these issues aren’t one thing others can provide us, they’re one thing we will solely give ourselves.
Jack: “Issues didn’t go as you’d hoped?”
Logan: “Apparently, I want extra time to determine how nice I’m which is absolutely simply code for I’m not that into you. No, I get it. , she’s unbelievable, and I by no means actually felt I used to be ok for her.”
Jack: “, I bear in mind how impressed I used to be after I met my first spouse, Lyndy. She was very confident. An actual folks particular person. She simply received ’em. She may learn anybody like a ebook. Me included. The reality is we’re usually drawn to individuals who have one thing we would like in ourselves. Extra confidence, braveness, success. The issue is these aren’t issues they can provide us. These are issues we will solely give ourselves.”
It seemed just like the dialog actually struck a nerve with Logan. However will that translate into Logan and Miley getting again collectively? It’s onerous to inform as a result of I believe Logan first must go on his personal journey of discovering his self-worth earlier than he might be in a wholesome, nurturing relationship with anybody.
The crossing from childhood to maturity
Lastly, now we have Katie’s storyline, who was coping with her personal dilemmas.
Katie was actually struggling to provide you with a narrative a few memorable coming-of-age second for her artistic writing class. She was so misplaced and annoyed that she ended up making an attempt to fabricate one, solely to finish up hurting somebody.
Early within the episode, we noticed Katie and Parker speaking. Apparently, Parker’s Astronomy Membership had misplaced their spot for watching the Perseid meteor bathe, so Katie recommended internet hosting the occasion at Heartland.
However after Parker advised Katie about how she had her first kiss at one of many Astronomy Membership’s different occasions, Katie had an thought – she may invite Brandon to look at the meteor bathe and create a romantic second that she may write about for her class. In spite of everything, what’s extra romantic than stargazing?
Peter, who got here dwelling to assist out with Katie and Lyndy whereas Lou, Lisa and Amy had been away, since Jack was injured, agreed to oversee the occasion and so Katie’s plan was in movement.
When Brandon lastly arrived, she managed to discover a non-public spot for them to stargaze, practically getting caught by Peter within the course of.
However when the second turned romantic, and Brandon leaned in to kiss Katie, she panicked and ran away.
The following morning, Peter discovered Katie desperately making an attempt to name Lou, however when her mother wasn’t selecting up, Katie determined to open up to her dad about her conflicted emotions.
Katie admitted to Peter that she had solely requested Brandon out on a date to put in writing concerning the expertise.
Peter, being the nice dad that he’s, assured Katie that she didn’t owe anybody something and that she was allowed to alter her thoughts. However he additionally suggested her to be sincere with Brandon and never use folks only for a narrative sooner or later.
Katie: “I believe I turned a very nice man right into a casualty of my writing task.”
Peter: “OK. Wow, how does that even occur?”
Katie: “Principally, I requested him out on a date for one thing to put in writing about. After which on the final minute, modified my thoughts, bailed on a kiss, and left him hanging.”
Peter: “I simply need you to know that you just by no means should rush into something like this, OK? And also you by no means should do something simply to please someone else. And you might be at all times, at all times allowed to alter your thoughts about issues like this. You don’t owe him something. Hey, you hear me? Good. You take heed to your individual inside compass, OK? If one thing doesn’t really feel proper, that’s all that issues. That’s fantastic. OK? And possibly, you realize, sooner or later, simply don’t use somebody only for a narrative.”
Katie: “Yeah, I understand that now. However I do care about him. And I believe I actually harm him.”
Peter: “Nicely, then possibly you simply owe him just a little little bit of honesty.”
Katie: “I’m fairly certain I’ve misplaced my likelihood.”
Peter: “Nah. I’m certain he’ll be fantastic. Simply wants just a little little bit of time.”
Katie: “Thanks, Dad.”
Peter: “Don’t develop up too, too quick, OK?”
So, taking her dad’s phrases to coronary heart, Katie went to the filth biking observe to attempt to apologize to Brandon. However he didn’t cease when Katie referred to as his title, leaving Katie with much more remorse.
No less than this complete expertise did assist her break her author’s block and write the story.
Katie: “There are numerous methods to cross the murky river from childhood to maturity, however it’s at all times a crossing. You allow a bit of your innocence behind to realize a bit of self-awareness on the opposite facet. However typically, it comes at a worth. I by no means thought my first time hurting somebody would break my very own coronary heart, too.”
Nonetheless, I do hope she’s going to get the prospect to apologize to Brandon and clarify the scenario since their friendship appeared actually vital to Katie.
Additionally, I at all times love the episodes when Peter comes dwelling. Gabriel Hogan, who performs Peter, at all times provides a lot humor to the episodes, whereas additionally managing to play the intense moments so effectively. And this episode was no totally different.
