Plot[]
Ty and Georgie take an interest in the plight of critically endangered Gobi bears in Mongolia. Bob finds that he and Ty could go with Veterinarians Without Borders to help the bears. Ty feels that he needs more information before telling Amy about helping the bears. Bob says Ty will have to decide about helping the bears, as they should be back before Amy delivers. Without talking to Amy, Ty decides not to go to Mongolia because he wants to be there for his family. Adam is stressed about a math test and feels bleak when Georgie receives a better grade than he does. Casey tells Tim she is tired of him acting like a child; she asks Tim to help coach her nephew Clay McMurtry, who makes a bad first impression at the rodeo school and forms a rivalry with Jade. Amy works with a bronco named Hellion with Jack's help. To teach Jade and Clay a lesson, Tim asks them if they can ride Hellion. Casey is upset about the planned bronco ride. Hellion's owner watches and is unimpressed with Clay's ride, but decides to keep the horse after it throws Jade. Casey lets Tim know she cares for him and wants to date him.
