Plot

Ty's old friend Joe unexpectedly visits. Amy thinks he's suspicious but Ty defends him. Ty and Joe go out drinking with Caleb; Caleb sees Joe steal money off a table, causing an argument with Ty. When Ty tries to talk about this the next morning, Joe asks to borrow $5000. After getting advice from Caleb and Jack, Amy talks to Ty about Joe and their disagreement turns into an argument. When Ty tells Joe that he can't get the money, Joe mentions Ty's past and tries to make him feel guilty and Ty stands up to him. Nicole returns to start running the Dude Ranch and Maggie's, which already have problems with a horse and generator. Nicole tells Caleb that he will have to provide a new horse if his can't be fixed. Caleb offers Nicole a generator to smooth things over. Amy determines what is wrong with the horse after Caleb tells her where the horse came from.
