Tim subsequently blames Amy for making him look like a fake. Tim loses the election by a wide margin and is fired from the rodeo. Ty moves back to the trailer, saying that he is healed and wants to fix his motorcycle. Caleb comes home having failed to reconnect with Ashley. Ty pushes Amy away, but Caleb tells Amy that Ty needs her. Amy asks Jack to intervene when Ty won't ride his repaired motorcycle. Jack helps Ty get back in the saddle, and Ty starts teaching Amy how to ride. Lou and Peter's house is being built which causes issues with Lisa and the Dude Ranch. Jack gets caught in the middle of the conflict and creates his own problems with Lisa.
