Plot[]
Jack asks Miranda to talk with Tim since he is drinking again. She confronts Tim at Heartland but he yells at her, and Jack warns Tim that he could lose his daughters along with Shane. Lou confronts Tim and bans him from seeing Katie. When Amy learns that Tim is drinking, she gives her father a hug and tells him that she loves him. Tim sits and talks with Miranda about Shane and how to handle everything. He quits drinking. Amy encourages Ty to finish his veterinary school applications. Amy finds Lobo with a gunshot wound (mistaken for a wolf) and rushes him to Ty at the clinic. Lobo deteriorates and Ty must deal with it in the veterinarian's absence. With Amy's help, Ty saves Lobo's life, and the on-call veterinarian tells him that he did the right thing. Ty mails his applications. Mallory raises money for an apartment so she can stay in Hudson. She steals one of her father's guitars and sells it but the cheque bounces. Jake gets the guitar back but Jack makes Mallory tell her parents the truth.
