Let’s start with Amy - she gets a letter from Lily with a cheque for “alot of money”. The decision she made to invest in the centre, a centre that Clint will be overseeing (yay more clint!) and can help more teens like Ty to continue his “legacy” was the best move (of course after putting away enough for Lyndy’s future - hopefully she invests it and doesn’t leave it in a chequing account!). And not just because this means we get to see more of Logan in future seasons. it is also a good opportunity for Amy to spread her wings, get out from the fam home and meet new clients.

I’ve really enjoyed Logan’s season arc. Kind of reminds me of Ty’s but more condensed which is always a nice change. With Amy and Clint by his side, helping to nurture him into a brighter future and helping him hone is skills, he is sure to grow into a better person.

After hemming and hawing, Lou FINALLY FINALLY (with the help of Rick), admitted her feelings and her and Peter got back together. She accepted that it won’t be perfect, and that they will continue living separate (for now I assume, with lots more visits) and honestly? I do think they work better when they have the space to do their own shit but also can visit more often. Maybe in the future they’ll decide to move in together, move closer .... etc but for now I think they reached a good arrangement. I’m glad Katie approves since shes the one living at home but I did find it kind of funny that they were then going to take a family trip to Florida to tell Georgie in person.

Speaking of Georgie, she was largely absent and I didn’t miss her. Like i said earlier, if Alisha wants less time for the show, that’s fine. I do wish that they included some facetime footage, or some video footage of the family watching her races on tv (like they did for Lisa), just so we feel like the family still remembers Georgie is apart of the family (bc ya know i kind of forgot).

And At the end of the episode, i wish we saw a montage of peter/katie/lou in florida telling georgie (even if its as simple as like a 5 second scene of them as a family sitting down)

LISA! LISA! we saw so much Lisa this episode - im so glad we got to see her work and her interact with the family more. If the price to pay for less georgie was more Lisa, i’ll take it. i love that the entire family was there for her when she needed it (for a second i thought amy would take over as jockie-ing haha). I would definitely love to see more Lisa storylines in the future.

Tim and Jessica with her health scare gave me vibes of Jack and Lisa. I’m glad it turned out to be insignificant and I do like them as a couple. I however, also think they should move out of the loft, let Lyndy/Amy move there and get her own place (ya know like her NYC loft), however logistically i do get why having everyone under the same roof for filming makes sense. ALSO THE LOFT SHOULD GET A DAMN DOOR.

If there is a S16, my hope is that:

- Alisha comes back (even if its only for 1-2 episodes or facetime). Or if she isn’t coming back, more of an explanation as to why she’s gone. What has she been up to? How is her training going? Is she still with whats his face Jordan Burtchett’s character? (i forgot his name okay)

- a few episodes with side characters getting a story B about their own personal lives - and not in relation to other Fleming-bartletts. for example, caleb only getting a story because it relates to Tim/Amy. I want to hear about his life with Cass/his son, stories about Scott’s life as it is now

- IF ALISHA doesn’t want to come to CGY to film, then lets film something in vancouver (where she lives) and show footage of her visiting peter. Michelle morgan also lives in vancouver, so even if its stock footage, lets see the 4 of them hanging out in vancouver and that way they (the actors) could stay close to home

- For amy to grow more professionally and for her to get some female friends (or friends other than caleb/sam)

- More Lyndy footage! And Rick!

- I love seeing the Spencer twins get older and be more talkative. The scene with Amy riding and holding into the reins when with the smaller horse for Lyndy was adorable (and how I picture them when they're at Ambers)

- More Lisa and Jack storylines, I LOVE!

- Sam's place got robbed and a wild stallion got out (apparently its been a thing - robberies. Good thing they have guard dog Remi at Heartland no?)

- We get a subtle Cass mention from Caleb when he says to listen when your wife tries to tell you about her day. Now can we get a Cass appearance? Maybe a Cass/Amy kids playdate? Ps. what is Caleb and Cass's kids name anyways.

- Tim is back at the rodeo, and it appears that Caleb has been doing just fine without him - in fact people have actually been improving, perhaps to Tim's chagrin that he perhaps isn't as needed as he requires.

- Caleb moved everything online, including waivers (seriously, a good move). He doubled the amount of students, and even has run the rodeo pretty smoothly. Honestly, i'd say he did pretty good but Tim doesn't seem like he seems to appreciate it. IMO Tim needs to be way more appreciative of Caleb keeping his clinic running

- Jack has promised that Lisa that he would be at the auction, but Lyndy gets thrown onto J/L when Amy goes to try and rescue the horses. I don't what i'd do if i was Jack- Amy is doing the right thing by helping Sam but at the same time, Jack and Lisa did have plans. hey maybe Katie could babysit if its just a few hours?

- Katie wants to babysit but Lou says she seems too young (how old is katie supposed to be??). If Katie has taken the babysitting course and can do child CPR, I don't see the harm especially if it's only for a few hours and it's Lyndy, her cousin. Maybe Katie babysitting could help alleviate jack and Lisa's and the family in general from babysitting duty?

- The wild stallion that escaped ends up getting captured by some other guys who, figuring out its a wild, decide to sell it with the rest. Will sam and Amy find the wild stallion time? (my spidey senses say that they will haha)

- in other news, while updating and writing, i noticed that tumblr had an update. in totally unrelated issues.

- Lisa on the phone while babysitting, while Lyndy is writing a song for Lisa and the other two are practising CPR. My thoughts - Lyndy is adorbz, the two practising CPR is funny and i kind of feel bad for Lisa who got stuck for babysitting duty. Again, i don't see why Lyndy cant be watched by Parker and Katie in the interim, but whatevs. Also, i'd imagine it was so fun filming it for the kids.

- this asshole tells amy and tim that he sold the stallion - he literally was not apologetic. Look while i'm sure that they'll get back this wild horse (does he have a name?)

- lou agrees to show jessica's photos in hudsons diner - and then asks her for a more prominent spot to show her photos -> i think Lou felt like she had to say yes but i do understand Lou's hesitancy with all the sudden demands - Lou doesn't want to seem like she's playing favourites but also wants to show support to her... uhhhh... step mother???

- OMG HEY SCOTT!!!!!!!!!!! hes bald, hes alive and hes IN SEASON 15. Anyways, seeing scott is never good because it means a horse, a horse Lisa bought for a shit ton of money perhaps, may be in trouble or injured. Nice to see scott is alive and well I guess.

- Tim negotiating to get the horse off the truck for a Sam selfie and a baseball was great. i like this Tim. (oh and he acknowledged caleb's great job at managing the rodeo which was great)... except for the fact that the black stallion wasn't... there????

- love the shot of the black stallion running across the fields - its a gorgeous shot

- anyways i think that the crew needs to figure out this whole babysitting situation... they need to hire a babysitter or have a back up plan if people have their own plans because family may not be there all the time. i hope lou lets the kids babysit lyndy

- I like this compromise, that caleb is there to be friends and build up the guys and provide confidence but tim is there to push them and make sure that they don't slack. i like this duo.

- is it just me or does KATIE NOT NEED BABYSITTING????? shes like what? 12 or something, older? she can probably stay home herself - i did when i was that age (for short periods of time). anyways i LOVED jack standing up for his wife and saying that the family be there for her this time. LOVED. if georgie being out of this season means more jack/lisa im here for it.

- i loved amy and lou saying sorry to lisa and letting her know that she won't be the main babysitter and that they appreciated her being for them all these years and showing that they were there for her. i love love love these moments.

- jessica opening up an art market and saying that any profits (10%) would go to lou (i guess as an idea fee or like, a "hey we're on your property" rent fee) and lou being completely okay with it after a talk with amy was so great to see. i love to see these moments, the women of heartland bonding and lisa/jack moments.

- oh yeah, and they find the wild stallion.

honestly overall a great episode. my not so hot take? i don't miss georgie.

- the spencer twins are more talkative than ever and its just so great to see! you can really see their bond with amber off camera coming through

- has it really been 10 years since dark horse?? imagine marvel-esque what if episode - what if amy had accepted renaud’s job haha. anyways, i love a good flashback (or two)

- amy doesn’t want to celebrate her birthday - and while i’m sure there are other factors such as ty not being there for her birthday for the first time, i’m with her. i never make a big deal of my own birthday. 

- lyndy is going to “school” or pre-school prep and i just want to see footage of that please

- tim and jessica are... MARRIED???? i guess the only way for couples to actually get married is for it to be off screen (ahem, caleb and cass)

- they went to macchu picchu? colour me jealous!!!!

- tim has “changed” and doesn’t want to be tied down and wants to keep life simple, while jack wants to take on more responsibility. bets on how long this will last?

- one of the horses is named juniper? why does that make me think of juniper and dagwood from riverdale hahhaa

- i understand, story wise why jack is ramping up and buying mitch’s herd BUUUUUT i kind of want to see lisa and jack travelling together

- no mention of georgie?? does this mean alisha is never coming back? is it just temporary? what does this mean? did I miss her? not really, but the episode was just really good and heartwarming overall. though i do hope we get some kind of explanation of where georgie is at some point , or else people may think she just perished into heartland lore like so many other characters.

- lyndy asking sylvie to dance with harley... and then seeing it by the end of the episode was SO CUTE!!!! the twins have come so far and are speaking so much more now. how many takes did you think they did so that each twin got to try it?
