Oh my God! What happened?
Sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you guys.
- What's going on? - Just, uh, another dumb bar fight.
- Okay, let me take a look at that. - No, I'm good.
It's just… just a bloody nose.
What are you doing here, man?
Forgot my wallet.
Went to the store to get some supplies to get cleaned up and couldn't pay for it.
- Let me get you some ice. - No, really, I'm good, Mel.
Thank you. I don't need ice. Just some sleep.
Okay.
I'll see you guys tomorrow.
Right.
Another bar fight?
Yeah, I don't buy it either.
Okay.
Jack, look.
I get… I get that you like Clay.
Mmm.
But what do you really know about the guy?
Not a hell of a lot.
I mean, I'm pretty sure he's had a rough life, but…
he seems like a good kid.
Okay, well, is it safe to have him work here?
I mean, this is our home. This is where we plan to have a family.
Like, if there's something going on with him…
I will get to the bottom of it before he starts work tomorrow.
I promise.
We just… We need to trust the people that we let into our lives.
You know? And right now I'm feeling pretty low on trust.
I get it.
Listen, you have every right to be concerned.
Okay?
And if I feel that Clay is a threat to our home in any way,
he's gone.
Thank you.
Come on. Come here.
Any word?
We got Wild Bill last night.
Real name is Harry Dupree.
Did he confess to anything? Did he confess to killing Calvin?
Uh, he hasn't given me anything yet, but I'm gonna work him.
God, it feels like the longer this goes on,
the less likely we are to find Charmaine.
Hey, hang in there. We're gonna find her, okay?
Will you be around later?
Yeah, I got a deposition in Clear River, but I'll leave my phone on.
- All right, keep you posted. Bye. - Okay.
Man…
Hey, Preach.
Hey!
- Didn't expect to see you this morning. - Yeah.
I just wanted to try and catch you before you got too busy.
Sorry I took a while to get back to you.
I've just been a little crazy.
Yeah.
Yeah, I can imagine.
So have you, um…
have you given any more thought about the expansion?
Yeah, I have, actually.
Listen, man, so much of my life is up in the air right now.
I just, uh…
I just want to leave the bar the way that it is.
And look what we got here. You know, this is more than just a bar.
It's the heart of this town, you know?
I don't want to mess with that.
I want to keep it going.
As it is.
Yeah, I, um…
You know, I get that.
And if you think it's what's best for the town,
then you should keep it the way it is.
You know, I have another proposal.
I'd like you to buy me out of the bar.
- What? - Yeah. Everything stays the same.
You keep the menu. It's just someone else will be cooking.
It's no big deal.
Come on, that is a big deal. This is our bar.
This is your bar, Jack.
It always has been.
And, yeah, you know, I have loved being a part of it.
But I… I, um…
You know, I think that maybe it is time that I try to build something on my own.
Right.
Yeah, okay.
Um…
Makes sense. Uh…
I'll, uh, talk to Mel about how possible it is to
buy you out, and…
I'll get back to you.
Just as you left it. Reclaim your seat, Dr. Mullins.
Oh yeah.
Damn, you look good behind that desk.
Feels good.
- Feels right. - Yes!
Oh, it's not enough I have to walk in on you two at home,
but I have to worry about it here too?
Welcome back, Grandpa.
Thank you.
- Here is your patient schedule for today. - Ah!
First, back-to-work coffee for our esteemed doctor.
Oh, thank you, Muriel.
How are you feeling today?
Back to my old self again for now.
My doctor says my white blood cell count is good,
so there was no way I was gonna miss out on this moment.
Well, you got through your first round of chemo like a champ.
Hear, hear.
So! Scram! We've got a clinic to run.
I'm off to Roland's ranch to scout Founder's Day. Oh, joy.
- Good luck. - Thank you.
All right!
- Hi, Mel! - Oh, hey.
I'm sorry, who are you?
Hey, Mel. Lizzie's in the birthing center. We're ready whenever you are.
Okay, I'll be right there.
I can't tell you how happy I am that you're back.
I mean, I know the whole town missed you,
but no one more than me.
Oh, you are the best.
Thank you.
Hey.
Where are you heading?
It's just not working out here, Jack.
What's going on, Clay?
Look, I appreciate you giving me this job, Jack.
I really do.
But I can't work here anymore.
Okay.
You wanna tell me why?
Look, you and Mel are good people.
And I just don't want you involved.
Involved in what?
Look.
I know last night was not a bar fight.
No.
What happened?
Couple guys followed me back to my apartment and jumped me.
What'd they want?
Last month, I borrowed some money from this guy I knew during my rodeo days.
Someone who'd…
…made a lot of money betting on me.
Now he wants that money back.
With interest.
The problem is I spent most of it hiring someone to help me find my sister Layla.
This is all I got left.
Okay. And this… guy you owe.
You think he's just gonna let it slide?
That he's not gonna come try to find you? Because you know he will.
And let's say you do find your sister, he catches up to you.
You're gonna have a target on both your backs.
What do you want me to say? I got no other options.
- How much you need? - I'm not taking your money.
There's gotta be some other way to get this guy off your back,
so why don't you and I try to figure that out together?
There might be another way.
But…
But what?
I would need your help.
After the scene I made in the bar,
I'm sure the whole town is talking about how crazy I am.
Really, they're not.
And having postpartum anxiety does not mean you're crazy.
We're gonna get you feeling better, I promise.
Based on your symptoms, I put together a plan.
Um, but first I think it's really important that you understand
what's going on in your body.
After giving birth, the rapid drop in estrogen and progesterone
can increase your sensitivity to stress,
which is most likely why you're having mood swings.
So how do I get back to normal?
Well, serotonin is a neurotransmitter, and that helps regulate your mood.
So I'd like to put you on an SSRI,
which will help to raise your serotonin levels while your body's readjusting.
No meds. Sorry.
I get not loving the idea of going on medication,
but what I'm recommending is safe.
- Even while you're breastfeeding. - I'm not going on meds.
Can we at least hear about what Mel is suggesting?
You know what? Why don't we do this?
Why don't I give you a list of medications that I think will help,
and you can read up on them.
You and Denny can… You can talk about them and figure out
what you feel comfortable with.
And in the meantime, there's other things we can try.
Like what?
Well, there's breathing exercises, and outdoor activities, and… meditation.
Those are all excellent ways to reduce stress.
I could teach you shinrin-yoku.
That's the meditation you told Jack about, right?
Yeah, that's a great idea.
So, how does that sound?
Sure.
Okay.
Here we are. Meatloaf sandwiches all around.
And call me if you need anything else.
Thank you.
I think what you need just walked in the door.
Why didn't you tell me you were coming home?
Mmm.
'Cause I wanted to surprise you.
And tell you that I miss you and that I love you.
But I want to tell you why I left, if you've got some time to talk later.
I will make time.
Mmm.
Kaia, welcome back!
Come, tell us how it went.
I'm gonna hang around here before I go to the station,
catch up on all the gossip.
But I will see you at home.
Hey.
So, tell me, how close did you guys come to dying out there?
Um, close enough.
Makes you realize what's most important.
And, uh…
Well, for Kaia,
it's you.
- Welcome home, brother. - Thanks.
In Okains Bay
Oh, I could have stayed
And never went home
Might have been brief
But at least I was free From all of my ghosts
'Cause I know there's a room Where I'm happy
But I can't find my way to the door
Tell me who wins the war Between my heart and my head?
I forgot what I'm suffering for
I surrender to dark When it all falls apart
At least I won't have to pretend
And I know there's a room Where I'm happy
Let me in, let me in
I know there's a room where I'm happy
But I can't find my way to the door
We could do the staging area there, put the food stands over there.
How's it feel being back on the ranch?
Like sitting on a dead cactus. Can we stay focused?
Okay, uh, pony rides we can… we can do out here.
Aww! She's a beauty.
Yeah, she sure is.
You miss riding?
You know, you used to live out in that paddock.
I'd go out there to escape you.
We had our last fight standing right here, remember?
I have a feeling we'll have a lot more fights in our future.
We were young.
And never should have gotten married.
Hey, Eddie. Eddie, bring her over.
Don't think I've ever loved a horse like I do this one.
Aww.
She has got a mischievous streak in her a mile wide.
Hi.
Breaking her nearly broke me.
She's gentle as a lamb now.
Yeah, looks can be deceiving.
I'm showing her off at the Trinity County Rodeo later today.
I can leave a few extra tickets at the ticket booth if you want to come.
You and Doc, of course.
I'll think about it.
Rodeo? Today?
Yeah. Yeah, Clay's entered the bull riding competition.
Wait.
Back up.
Clay's a bull rider?
Well, used to be. He's gonna ride one more time.
Okay, well, I don't understand why you need to go.
Well, he wants me to place a bet for him
because he's putting every dime that he has left on himself.
Now, if he wins, he's gonna make enough money
to pay back the debt that he racked up looking for his sister.
I'm sorry for his sister. I really am.
I just…
Come on, Jack, why are we getting involved in Clay's business?
Especially after what happened last night.
Look, I get it, okay?
And I will not do this if you don't want me to.
It's just…
What? What?
He kinda reminds me of myself when I was his age, you know?
Yeah, but you weren't getting into bar fights, and…
Okay, don't…
I am not gonna go there.
I know guys like this from my platoon, okay?
They're just scared, but they're too proud to show it.
He is no saint, but I got a gut feeling.
Yeah, well…
Our gut feelings have really been putting us through the wringer lately, so…
Fair enough.
Okay, listen, I might not trust Clay, but I do trust you.
So if you believe in him, I will support you.
Yes!
- On one condition. - What's that?
I'm gonna go to the rodeo with you.
- Oh yeah? Really? Okay. - Mmm-hmm.
I've never been to one, and it might be fun, like a date.
- Yeah. - Help us forget about the baby stuff.
I love that idea.
- Okay. - Okay.
- We can get dressed up. - Yeah.
- Okay. I'll meet you at home. - Okay.
- And, Mel… - Hmm?
Thank you.
The idea is to engage with nature.
Keep 'em closed. She's asleep.
Try to calm your breathing.
And clear your mind.
Baby shark, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
What are you doing?
I don't know.
You said to…
clear my mind, and that just popped in.
Sorry.
Now that song is just stuck in my head.
Ugh.
Baby shark, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo Baby shark…
Baby shark, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Baby shark, doo-doo-doo…
Stop it! You're making it worse!
Baby shark, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo Baby shark
God.
I can't remember the last time I laughed.
Can I ask you something?
Why are you so against taking medication?
When I was acting out in high school,
my parents wanted to put me on antidepressants.
When I refused, they… shipped me off to Aunt Connie,
who actually cared about me.
I ended up being fine.
Without meds.
So you feel like… they're not useful?
I feel like it'd mean I'm weak.
Being open to something that could be helpful,
that's not weakness, Lizzie, that's strength.
I would never force you into anything.
But what do you think about just looking into the medications
that Mel recommended, just to see?
Okay.
We can do that.
Grant!
- Brie Sheridan. - Oh.
Yeah, of course! How are you?
- Uh, is there any news on Charmaine? - Not yet.
But the police did pick up that guy your receptionist saw outside the salon.
Well, that's good news. Did he say anything about the murderer?
He's being questioned.
Do the police have any idea where Charmaine is?
They're doing everything they can to find her.
I can tell you care a lot about her.
I do. I do.
Uh…
Well, I… I care about everyone at the salon.
They're the only family I have.
Well, then I promise I will let you know as soon as I hear anything.
Please do.
Um, I'm sorry, I have to run. I have a client, so…
Please.
Hey, you've reached Mike. Leave a message.
Hey, Mike. It's me.
Uh…
I just ran into the owner of Charmaine's salon.
And he told me he doesn't have any family.
But then I saw something in the back of his car that would imply otherwise.
It might not be anything, but, um…
You know what? I'm gonna call you back.
- You surviving? - Barely.
But I have to admit, it is the perfect spot for Founder's Day.
Well, you are just gonna have to be the bigger person
and admit that to him and the council.
I don't know if I can say it to him, but… maybe you can
at the rodeo he invited us to.
Oh, the one in Trinity County. Yeah, Mel said she and Jack were going.
- Could be fun. - Wait.
Wait, I thought you told me that Roland spoiled rodeos for you.
Well, I wouldn't mind seeing the barrel racing.
If we leave soon, we'll be there in time.
- Incoming. - Okay.
Look, I may get stuck here,
so why don't you go on ahead, and I'll catch up.
Okay… bye. I guess.
Poison Ivy. I warned them, Doc.
Hey, guys.
Calamine lotion and baking soda, lots of it. Hey.
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls,
welcome to the 45th annual Trinity County Rodeo!
You'll see some of the top names in romp riding, bull riding…
No, I was just shocked.
I mean, Preacher walking away from the bar?
Yeah. Well, it sounds like he's looking for a change.
Without Preacher, the bar's gonna need a lot more attention.
I'm worried… if we do buy him out, we're not gonna have enough money
to get the farm up and running.
Yes…
but my main concern is that this could come between the two of you.
Yeah, I know, but…
Ah, this is such a big ask.
I mean, he's really putting me in a spot here.
Yeah.
But, Jack, listen, I know that you love… you love the bar the way that it is.
I do!
I'm just worried that if you hold on too tightly,
you might end up losing Preacher altogether.
Let's go find Clay.
No.
No, not like that.
- Not like what? - You need a hat!
- Oh, I do? - Yes!
My cowboy cannot go to a rodeo without a hat.
- Oh, okay. - Okay?
Come on, I'll buy you one. Last time you wore mine, you stretched it out.
Ooh! That's what you remember from that night?
That's not all I remember.
I'm gonna ask you again.
Where's Charmaine Roberts?
Like I said, I don't know.
What were you doing hanging around her salon
the same day that she went missing?
- I don't know what you're talking about. - I think…
you were tailing Charmaine to get to Calvin, right?
You followed her home,
he showed up, you killed him, and because she saw that…
Wait! You think I killed him?
I didn't kill Calvin.
I was working for him.
Doing what?
I needed cash fast, and Calvin needed someone to keep an eye on Charmaine.
- What for? - He was crazy about his boys.
He didn't trust that guy that was obsessed with Charmaine.
- Which guy? - The salon guy.
Her boss.
Welcome to barrel racing,
one of the few rodeo events where women take center stage.
Yes, she's off to a great start.
That's a good run around that first barrel.
Hey, Clay! I just wanted to wish you luck before…
- Is that from last night? - No, it's nothing.
No, that's not nothing.
Can I please take a look?
Yeah.
Listen, Clay, you could have a cracked rib.
- You can't ride like that, man. - I'll be fine.
No, it's not fine.
If you get on a bull, you could do some serious damage.
I've competed hurt before. It's just part of the game.
We can find another way to pay back your debt.
You said it yourself. If I don't pay, I'm on the run.
I'm telling you… I can ride.
I have to.
I'll just… I'll wrap it up. I'll be good to go.
No, don't use that. That's gonna restrict your breathing. Um…
I have some tape in the truck.
- I'll go get your bag. - Thanks.
Well, let's… join your buddies, okay? Come on, down you go.
Yeah.
Thank you, Dr. Mullins!
You are very welcome, boys.
Oh, thank you.
Pickleball, Doc. I'll be calling.
Okay.
- Okay, guys. Follow me. - See you!
Aww.
So, how did your first day back at work feel?
It was good. It was just different, I…
Are you missing pickleball?
I actually do. I mean, I enjoyed spending time with the guys,
and my great-granddaughter, and going on dates with Hope.
And, oh, speaking of which, I should be rushing
to be with my beautiful wife at the rodeo.
Muriel, would you mind closing up for us?
Of course not!
- Okay, thanks. - Off you go. Have fun.
Some of the best's still ahead with top riders warming up now.
Women who've spent years training for moments just like this.
Every second they shave off…
Hey, Hope!
Glad you took me up on my offer. Like the old days, huh?
Two of us kicking up our heels at a rodeo.
Yeah. Vernon's on his way. He… He got delayed.
Okay, sure! Sure. Hey, come. Come sit.
Uh-oh. This is nothing like the old days. We always were in the cheap seats.
Well, a lot has changed since then.
Hey! Hey, CJ!
Run over to the food truck, grab us a couple beers,
a plate of brisket, and some fries, would you?
And, uh, extra barbecue sauce for the lady.
Yes, sir, Mr. Russell.
What? You think I don't remember what you like?
Thank you, but I'm cutting back on red meat.
However, I'll make an exception today.
- Okay. - Ah-ha!
That was a nice run. That was a nice run.
Remember me teaching you how to barrel race?
As I recall, I used to kick your ass at it.
Once. You beat me once.
Once? You are delusional, old man.
I'm sorry about your sister.
You must have been really close.
Yeah, we were.
No one could make me laugh the way that she could.
Yeah, she was all I had.
I would do anything for her.
I'm gonna win for her tonight. No matter how much it hurts.
Well, as long as you understand the risks.
Ah, screw the risks.
I mean, you still gotta go for it, right? If it's something you believe in?
Yeah.
- Does it feel better? - Yeah, it's way better.
- Good. - Thank you.
Clay, this gentleman's looking for you.
How you doin', Clay?
Let's see which bull you're riding tonight.
Number three.
Hellbent.
- Sounds ominous. - Meanest bull we got.
- Oh. - Have fun out there, son.
- Is that a good thing? Or… - It is.
- It is? - Yeah, you want 'em mean.
The harder the ride, the higher the score.
Oh.
Great.
Hellbent. Sounds fun.
You sure you're up to this?
Bet it all to win.
All right.
Good luck!
We'll be rooting for you.
How about we put some of our own money on Clay's bet?
That way, when he pays off his debt, he can…
still look for his sister.
Aww.
What made you change your mind?
Well, you did.
- Me? What? - Yes.
Don't stop betting on the things you believe in.
Right?
Right.
- My wife is awesome. - Oh…
Well, folks, that'll do it for today's barrel racing.
What a showcase it's been!
- She was really good! - The last one, especially.
- Yeah. - Even the ones before.
Vernon! Hi!
Oh! There he is.
- Hey, Roland. - It's been a long time, Doc.
Yeah. Listen, thanks for the tickets. Very thoughtful.
My pleasure. Here. Your rightful place.
Now, um, you two enjoy. Duty calls.
Hey! Hungry?
No. Thanks.
So, when did you and Roland get so close?
- You're kidding, right? - No.
You're the one who's been pushing me to get along with him.
There's getting along with him, and then there's sharing french fries.
Don't be ridiculous!
I'm playing nice to get through Founder's Day.
It's not your motives that I'm worried about.
Next in the arena
is one of the longest-standing patrons of this event,
a true giant in our ranching community,
Roland Russell,
riding his prize horse, Esperanza!
Oh jeez.
This is a remarkable animal.
Powerful, yet graceful, with a presence unlike any other.
Esperanza has been…
You do know
that "Esperanza" means "hope" in Spanish?
She is truly one of a kind.
Jeez.
Mel! Jack! Come sit with us.
- Hey. - Hi.
Why aren't you at work?
Well, I snuck out early so I could be here when you got home.
Wasn't sure what you wanted for dinner,
so I brought you a little bit of everything that is on the menu tonight.
- You're amazing. - Mmm.
Wow!
- Dig in… - Thank you.
…while it's hot.
Wow.
- Are you just gonna watch me eat? - Yep.
You know, you, uh…
you said you were sorry for leaving the way you did,
but I am the one that owes you an apology.
You know, I've just been so damn busy with the bar and this whole new menu…
Yeah, you've been busy doing what you love.
Yeah, I know, but I've also neglected what it is…
…that I love most.
I wasn't totally honest with you about what I was feeling when I left.
When I went chasing those fires, that's how I used to roll with Jay.
But I don't want to do that with you.
I did feel left out.
With Jamie and…
You know, everything you guys were working on
made me question what I was even doing in Virgin River.
- Yeah, but Kaia, that is… - It's not…
It's not on you.
When I was gone, I realized that I want to be here.
For me. I want to commit to building a life in this town.
And that means, I don't know…
Finding more for myself here.
And I will… figure it out.
Because I want you to expand the bar
and be the chef that you want to be.
I know how much work that's gonna take on your end, so…
Yeah. Yeah, about that.
Um…
You know, Jack…
Jack doesn't want to do the expansion.
So I've… I've asked him to buy me out.
- I want to open up my own place. - Wow.
I can't imagine you leaving the bar.
Or Jack, for that matter.
Yeah, me either, but, you know, if I…
You know, if I want to grow, right?
I… I really don't see any other option.
So Jack needs to, um, sign off so that I can move forward.
Well, if he has your best interests at heart,
he will do whatever it takes to support you.
I hope so.
You shouldn't have followed me, Brie.
Grant…
I know how much you care about Charmaine.
But if you know where she is, you have to tell me.
- Who else knows you're here? - Nobody.
Grant, you and I, we both want what's best for Charmaine and the twins.
Right? We do.
So you don't have to do this alone.
Wait, Brie!
Charmaine?
- Charmaine? - Brie, is that you?
- Step away from the door. - What is going on?
- Move away from the door, Brie. - I need to know she's okay.
Get away from the door!
Grant, please!
- Brie? - Grant…
- Leave her alone, please! - I just need to know that she's okay.
Okay? I… I would never hurt them.
But you would hold them against their will?
Grant, look. You said Charmaine was family.
She is. I love her.
Is this the way that you treat someone that you love?
You lock them in a room?
Grant, I just… I promise you, I just want to talk to her.
Can you at least just show me that she's okay?
Come out. They're fine, see?
Charmaine, are you okay? Are the babies okay?
Yeah. We're okay. We're okay.
Please don't hurt her, Grant. I just want to take them home.
There's no going home because of what happened with Calvin.
- How many times do I have to tell you? - Hey! Hey, look…
Whatever happened with Calvin… I'm sure it was justifiable.
Because Calvin was a bad man.
You know, whatever she tells me is covered by client-attorney privilege.
So, if I know the truth, I can help her.
I… I can help you both.
Next up, shootin' tight now, we got Kicking Horse!
And he's down!
Ouch!
- Wow! - Yeah, it's not for the faint of heart.
Well, how do they keep score?
Rider can get up to 50 points. Bull can get up to 50 points.
Wow. So, I guess the meaner the better.
Yeah, but the rider has to stay on past eight seconds to even get a score,
and… that's harder than it sounds.
Judges coming back with an 84-point score!
- Whoa! - What a ride!
Yeah. That'll be hard to beat.
Grant, you gotta trust me.
Okay? Letting me in on what really happened,
this is your best shot.
Tell her. Tell her.
Uh…
Calvin thought something was happening between me and Grant.
- You are not supposed to be here! - I do what I want in my house!
- These are my kids! - Calvin, get off of me! Get off of me!
He didn't want any man around me or the twins,
and he came to take them…
And I tried to stop Calvin, but he was just…
If Calvin was threatening you,
then whatever you did, Charmaine, was in self-defense.
I didn't shoot Calvin.
I was protecting her.
Get off of me!
- Get away from her! - What do you want?
Calvin!
God! Oh my God!
- Okay, I had no other choice. Tell her. - I don't know. It happened so fast.
No, no, no! You can't say that.
Please. Calvin would never have stopped trying to get the boys away from you.
Okay? I was protecting them too.
You meant well, and things got out of control.
- I didn't know what else to do. - Well, this…
- This is not it. - She tried to run away, get new IDs.
If I hadn't found her at that motel, who knows where they'd be now?
I just wanted a fresh start.
A fresh… What about me? I can't go to jail!
Hey, hey, hey, you did what you had to do.
- Right? - Exactly.
You were trying to protect somebody that you love, and nobody…
nobody should hold that against you.
I know. I know you did not mean for any of this to happen.
I… I didn't.
This is not who you are.
I know that.
- Exactly! - Yeah.
How about you let me and Charmaine, we will go get the twins,
and we'll calm them down, okay?
And then the three of us, we'll sit down together,
and we'll figure this out.
All right?
You believe me?
Yeah, I believe you.
Police! Drop the gun!
I said drop it!
- I'm sorry. - Okay. It's okay.
You're okay.
Lonely shadows followin' me
Lonely ghosts come a-crawlin'…
And up next, in the chute, is Clay Crawford riding Hellbent.
- He's up! - Yeah.
He's mounting up on top of one hell of a bull.
And my mother told me "Son, let it be"
Sold my soul to the calling
Sold my soul to a sweet melody
Now I'm gone, now I'm gone Now I'm gone
Oh, give me that fire
Burn, burn, burn
Oh, a thousand faces staring at me
Thousand times I've fallen
Thousand voices dead at my feet
Now I'm gone, now I'm gone Now I'm gone
And my mother told me "Son, let it be"
Sold my soul to the calling
Sold my soul to a sweet melody
Now I'm gone…
And Crawford is up! He's okay!
87 points!
That's a winning score, folks!
Oh, give me that fire
- Whoa! - Yeah! Whoo-hoo!
Oh, give me that fire
Yeah!
Oh, give me that fire
Whoo!
Burn, burn, burn
Child Services says they have what they need for Charmaine's twins.
Okay, I'm gonna drive her to the station and get her processed.
- As soon as I can talk to her… - I will let you know.
What about Grant?
He's gonna be booked for Calvin's murder, and…
kidnapping Charmaine and the twins.
God, all in the name of love.
Nah, if he really loved her, he would've let her go.
You know, we, um…
We made a pretty good team.
Right, Sheridan?
Yeah, that we did.
It was nice being your partner.
It was nice being yours too.
See ya.
Man, that bull? Sure lived up to its reputation.
Yeah, I'm just glad everything worked out.
And you have to promise me you're gonna follow up on that rib with Doc.
- I will. - Okay.
I promise.
Good.
Hey, um…
So my winnings from tonight were a bit more than I thought they would be.
Did you guys…
We wanted to make sure you could pay back your debt and keep looking for Layla.
Yeah. Yeah.
And you're welcome to stay on at the farm while you do.
Yeah, you're a handy guy to have around, man.
Yeah, that'd be good.
It's great, actually.
I just, uh, never had anyone believe in me before, so…
Thank you, guys.
Yeah, you deserve it.
- I, uh, should get going. - Yeah.
Alrighty.
- See you. - Thank you.
Yeah, well done.
- See you. - See you.
Uh…
I'll be back in a bit.
Yeah.
Hey, Preach, you, um…
You got a minute?
Yeah.
Yeah, sure.
I don't want to let you go.
This bar is not gonna be the same without you.
But I know that that is just me being selfish,
and I think something got lost in all this… expansion talk.
And that is how much I believe in you.
And you're right, this is your time. And I made a promise to you.
I told you I would support you in any way that I can, and I want to…
I want to make good on that.
So I will have Brie draw up the paperwork to buy you out, so that
I'm not standing in your way.
I appreciate that.
Okay.
Hey, you ready to get going?
Yeah, how'd it go?
Good.
Don't stop betting on the things you believe in, right?
Yeah.
Hey.
Oh, hey.
I tried calling you, but you probably couldn't hear the phone
over the music and the machismo.
Ah.
Wasn't expecting company.
You didn't tell me you were back.
Didn't know I was supposed to.
Are you…
Um…
Are you okay?
Yeah.
Yeah, just, uh…
Just busy.
What's up?
Um…
I came to give you the good news.
We got Calvin's killer.
And we found Charmaine. And the twins.
And they're safe.
Yeah. Good.
That's, um… That's great.
Happy to hear it.
You don't sound happy.
That's 'cause I'm not.
I'm not happy.
I don't think I can do this.
- Do what? - Be the friend you tell good news to.
I don't think…
I don't think I can be your friend at all.
- I almost died in the fire. - Oh my God! Brady, what?
No, when I was trapped, when I thought I was gonna die,
the last thing that crossed my mind was you.
And it's not because you're my friend.
Okay?
It's 'cause you're…
…everything.
I thought if I can't have all of you,
having part of you would be enough, but it's not.
It hurts.
It hurts more than losing you.
Brady, I don't want to hurt you.
- But closing the door completely… - What are you doing here?
I told you.
What are you doing here?
I don't know.
Then go.
Walk away.
'Cause… clearly, I can't.
Okay.
You okay?
Yeah, I was just thinking about Clay.
How he trusts that he's gonna find his sister one day.
Yeah, that got me too.
We need to trust that Marley is gonna make the right decision.
Mmm-hmm.
But if we sit around here waiting for her to decide, we're gonna go nuts.
That's what I said.
So, what are you suggesting?
Uh, we go on our honeymoon.
- What, now? - Mmm-hmm.
Just go?
- Just go. - Come on.
What? Well…
You know, Marley has a new OB.
So my delivery schedule is clear.
And if she does pick us, then…
I mean, we're not gonna be able to go on one for a long time, so…
And if Preacher leaves, I'm not gonna be able to leave the bar.
- Mmm-hmm. - Let's do it.
- Whoa.
Wait, are we…
talking Hawaii or Italy?
Oh my… Are you serious?
No, come on. We never officially decided. I was humoring you.
Okay, you know what? I'm putting an end to this one right now.
- What are you doing? - You.
Okay.
- What are you doing? - Wherever my finger lands.
Oh.
- That's where we're gonna go. - You're serious?
I'm so serious.
Oh wow.
Well, you are feeling lucky tonight.
Okay.
- Close your eyes! No cheating. - Oh sorry! Yes, yes, yes.
- Ready? - Yep. Why would I cheat?
Go! Just don't look.
