FULL EPISODE SYNOPSIS (spoiler!)

Kris tells Junior she just wants to be friends with him. He is disappointed but accepts her decision. Just then their Atomic Hot Sauce commercial comes on and shows their kiss, making the situation awkward. Dani and Matt also talk about their relationship. Dani feels she needs to slow down because a lot is going on in her life right now. Matt understands. Later, Dani hires Matt as a trainer for the stable she is setting up.

Kerry tells Kris about her options when a bus from Camp LaGrange drives up to the Raintree farm. Kris is worried until she finds out that Pablo invited a few girls to the farm to give them a tour. However, Pablo’s duties take him elsewhere and he asks Kris to show the girls around. Kris is reunited with an old friend called Leanne. Leanne asks for one of the Atomic Hot Sauce T-Shirts Kris is wearing. Leanne tells Kris about a fund raiser for the riding programme of Camp LaGrange and suggests it would help if Kris came and brought Wildfire. Kris feels like she can’t go there because she feels she belongs there still. Pablo tells her she is a different person now and that she should do it. Kerry is in favour of Kris going to the fund raiser but he tells her that he must be involved in these decisions from now on.

Jean gets an invitation from Pete for the opening of the club. She is undecided.

Isabelle brings Junior some stuff for his apartment. Dani comes by with a few coffee mugs. When she finds out that Isabelle already bought him some kitchen ware and threw out the other stuff Dani had bought for him, Dani picks up the mugs and leaves.

Pete needs to leave for Texas because his mother had a stroke. He needs some papers he asks Jean to find. Matt calls Junior to let him know that Pete is leaving and tells him Pete wants Junior to hire the waitresses for the club.

At the Equestrian Center Kris gives Leanne the T-Shirt she asks for before she gives her talk, telling the audience how her work with the Equestrian Center Programme changed her life for the better and appealing to people to donate. After her talk Kris notices Leanne walking away with the T-Shirt in her hand. She discovers Leanne wearing the new T-Shirt, Leanne runs off. Kris runs after her, trying to convince her to come back. But Leanne insists she needs to go because of a crisis at home. She promises to return soon, turn herself in and do the extra time after she has dealt with the crisis. When the warden realises Leanne is missing Kris is questioned about her disappearance. Kris is lying to give Leanne a chance.

Junior tries to get a fire permit before the club opening using his father’s contacts but it doesn’t work out. He flirts with Rebecca, the new waitress he hires, but she heard about him and Kris and does not want to be just a substitute.

Jean comes into the club. She is amazed and impressed with how the club has turned out. She informs Matt that Pete has to stay in Texas longer and seeing his disappointment she tells him she is there to help to help him and Junior open the club. The club opening is a great success. The fire inspector shows up. He happens to be a friend of Junior’s and he bribes him. A little later Kris shows up at the club, Kerry had dropped her off. Rebecca who started to like Junior sees them together and she decides to go home, as her shift is over.

Kris is calling Leanne. They set up a date for Kris to pick her up in two hours. Kris calls Kerry to give her a ride. Two hours later Kerry and Kris wait at the parking lot but Leanne does not come. Kris tells Jean and Pablo that she will turn herself in over Leanne in the morning. She knows that her future is at risk. Pablo and Jean are surprised but supportive.

In the morning Kris says good-bye to Wildfire. When they are about to leave Leanne shows up. It turns out that Leanne had a son she needed to pick up because her boyfriend left with his new girlfriend, leaving the baby behind. Leanne now called her sister to pick up her son and take care of him until she gets out of detention.
Kris is relieved when Leanne tells her she will take full responsibility about leaving and keeping Kris out of it.
