Jade wants to bronco ride at the rodeo, though Tim is concerned whether she is ready. Peter returns to spend time with the kids and learns Georgie is failing math. Scott offers Ty a partnership. Tim ridicules the thought of Amy and Ty starting their own business. Georgie asks Peter to tutor her instead of Lou. Georgie devises a new trick to perform. Casey names the cancer-charity rodeo after her deceased husband Hank. Lou learns Georgie lied to Peter to use a calculator, and talks to her about her attitude and lying. Jade gets a bad draw at the rodeo but won't let Tim pull her. Jade gets hurt and Tim discovers she lied about the permission form she gave him. Casey books the Extreme Team for the rodeo. Georgie completes a roman riding jump at the rodeo. Ty tells Scott he's not sure about accepting his offer, because it could affect him and Amy working together. Tim lets Casey know why he doesn't take pain killers. Peter talks to Lou about Georgie not wanting to go to Vancouver and says he will visit every chance he gets.
