Lou actions up to the challenge
The episode grabbed simply one week after the occasions of period 17, as Heartland Beef started to really feel the stress of their previous choices.
If you keep in mind, in the Heartland period 17 ending, we saw Lou, Jack and Tim go to the Garland Foods HQ to pitch an originality however the entire collaboration with Garland Foods broke down after the brand-new chief executive officer of the business disregarded them prior to Lou could also begin her pitch and Lou stated that Heartland Beef does not require Garland Foods to endure.
So, currently they are left without their major supplier stimulating Lou to function more difficult than ever before to maintain business afloat and secure Heartland’s tradition.
Do not have time to review the entire wrap-up? Not a problem! Currently you can pay attention to the wrap-up podcast-style on YouTube:
Throughout the episode, we saw Lou in her component, seeking brand-new methods to market and offer their item. Which was particularly crucial to her, Jack, and Tim after they learnt that Pryce Beef had actually handled to take Garland Foods right out of under them and is currently Garland’s major provider.
This was a large impact to Heartland Beef, however it made Lou even more figured out to make it function. And she handled to find up with 2 significant chances for their organization.
To start with, Lou connected with Sunup Calgary, a prominent early morning program that had an interest in doing a section on the Heartland Recipe book and also desired them to make Jack’s well-known beef stew reside on air. However the catch was that they desired Jack to be the one doing it considering that they believed that a cowboy making the stew would certainly look extra fascinating and, for that reason, would certainly discuss much better with their target market.
Naturally, Jack originally declined, liking to avoid of the limelight. However Lou did procure Jack to guarantee to consider it.

Secondly, Lou had a conference with a supervisor of a friendliness team that has dining establishments throughout Canada and procured them thinking about making Heartland their special beef supplier. The only point was that they would certainly require Heartland to give bison in addition to beef, which is an issue considering that Heartland Beef does not increase bison.
Lou was positive concerning them having the ability to begin elevating bison. She also created a thorough rundown of just how much whatever would certainly set you back. Nevertheless, Jack and Tim banned the bison concept immediately, which indicated that the handle the friendliness team was dead, also.
That obtained Lou actually distressed. Nevertheless, what she really did not recognize was the actual factor Jack and Tim declined to also consider elevating bison– Heartland was dealing with a major water lack.
Jack declined to inform Lou concerning their diminishing water materials due to the fact that he really did not wish to fret her. However, ultimately, both cowboys came tidy to Lou concerning their reduced groundwater degrees and Lou ultimately recognized why they were so versus her bison concept.
.
Lou: “Why really did not you inform me ?! I. I would not have actually recommended the bison concept if I would certainly understood we were lacking water.”
Jack: “Your father intended to state something, I informed him not to. I think I was attempting to secure you.”
Lou: “Shield me from what? You believe I can not take care of problem?”
Jack: “I do not desire you and your sis to fret for no factor. 3 weeks of rainfall will certainly fix whatever.”
Lou: “However there isn’t 3 weeks of rainfall in the projection, exists?”
Jack: “No.”
Lou: “Grandfather, you can not simply think about me as your granddaughter that requires shielding. I’m your organization companion, I require to recognize whatever concerning this beef organization, the great and the poor, or I can not do my work!”
Jack: “I recognize that currently. So from currently on, we’ll load you know the huge photo, I guarantee.”
Luckily, it was additionally the driver for some much-needed actual talk in between the 3 organization companions. Jack and Tim ultimately recognized that Lou was severe concerning becoming part of the livestock organization which they must treat her appropriately. And, by the end of the episode, Jack also concurred to do the section on the early morning program.
At the end of the episode, the household collected around the television to enjoy Jack’s television look. Jack had a couple of find air, however his all-natural appeal swayed, and the section wound up being a success.

One of my favored components of this episode was seeing Lou placed her entire heart right into Heartland Beef. From rounding livestock and doing duties with Jack and Tim to discovering brand-new advertising chances and markets for their beef, Lou would certainly resolution repaid.
Nevertheless, with the dry spell, the cattle ranch could be dealing with among its hardest periods yet, so it will certainly be actually fascinating to attend what sizes Lou, Jack, and Tim agree to go with the survival of their organization.
The ideal cattle ranch horse
As with every Heartland episode, we saw Amy collaborating with a customer steed. This moment about, it was Tim’s rodeo institution steed, Stetson, a once-great roping steed that is having a hard time to do in the sector.
After Amy and Logan had time to check Stetson and collaborate with him, Amy swiftly recognized that Stetson would certainly do much better with a modification of occupation– he might not be suitabled for rodeo life any longer, however he still has plenty to supply as a functioning cattle ranch steed.
Nevertheless, encouraging Tim to approve this was no very easy job.
Actually, Tim just contradicted that Stetson’s finest days in the sector lagged him, informing Amy that he can not manage to retire the steed from the rodeo circuit.
However by the end of the episode, Tim occurred to Amy’s concept and located the ideal brand-new function for Stetson– to be Lou’s brand-new cattle ranch steed.
Throughout Heartland period 18 episode 1, we saw Lou obtain equines from Amy and even Lyndy to do her cattle ranch duties, which, honestly, had not been lasting. So, currently Lou will certainly have her very own cattle ranch steed to ride whenever she requires.
It was a win-win for all the entailed celebrations.
And this, in addition to Jack accepting take place the early morning program, were such good motions from both cowboys, not just revealing their development, however additionally apparently signifying that Lou is ultimately a full-fledged participant of Heartland Beef.
Connection complications
Now, onto the subject that a great deal of you were possibly questioning (I recognize I was!)– Amy’s connection with Nathan.
Actually, Amy invested fairly a great deal of time in the episode with Nathan. Their chemistry actually is obvious, yet it had not been without its problems– and there were a pair huge ones that were highlighted in this episode.
Just one week had actually passed considering that we last saw them in episode 1710, cloud staring with each other, and their connection was virtually at the very same factor as it went to completion of period 17– gradually expanding. So, it was not a surprise that Nathan asked Amy out on a correct day.
.

However, points swiftly obtained made complex.
After Tim, Jack, and Lou discovered Pryce Beef taking their area with Garland Foods, Amy believed that it was no more an excellent concept for Nathan to choose her up for their day at the cattle ranch. This is where the initial issue was available in– the competition in between both household companies.
After that, their day failed due to the fact that Nathan’s canine Molly obtained kicked by a cow, and he needed to hurry her to the veterinarian. However when Amy mosted likely to Nathan’s home that evening to see just how he and Molly were doing, she once more obtained a preference of just how secured Nathan is. Thus, the 2nd issue– Amy’s wariness of Nathan’s closed-off nature, particularly after her experience with Finn.
Throughout the episode, we saw Amy being open to the concept of obtaining closer to Nathan, just for Nathan to draw back whenever Amy attempted to obtain him to open. So when Nathan transformed the subject as opposed to relying on Amy concerning what was actually troubling him when she visited him that evening, it irritated Amy to no end.
They still had some wonderful minutes with each other, like when Amy made it feasible for Nathan to collaborate with Molly on lamb when Molly declined to herd livestock after her crash. Or when Amy recommended that Nathan do a sheepdog competitors to develop Molly’s self-confidence back up and after that aided him conquer his anxiety prior to his turn.
However Nathan’s psychological absence was ending up being to be a warning for Amy, making her second-guess their aspiring link. Which just came to be extra clear when Nathan’s ex-wife, Tristian (the very same ex-wife that ripped off on him and obtained him forgo connections completely prior to he fulfilled Amy), turned up at the very same competitors with her brand-new hubby.
.

It not just noticeably trembled Nathan considering that it brought old injuries to the surface area, however Tristian’s quick discussion with Amy just validated Amy’s uncertainties concerning Nathan’s psychological wall surfaces.
.
Tristian: “I rejoice that Nathan has a pal. He does not make those quickly. You should believe I’m a dreadful individual.”
Amy: “I do not recognize what you imply.”
Tristian: “Ripping off on him is my largest remorse. However when we were wed, also prior to after that, Nathan was … He was constantly a shut publication. He never ever allow me in. Beforehand, I believe I was brought in to the secret, however ultimately, it simply obtained so lonesome that I.”
Amy: “No, this is actually none of my organization.”
By completion of the episode, after a discussion with Lou throughout which Lou suggested Amy to trust her digestive tract concerning Nathan, Amy transformed Nathan down when he asked her on one more day.
So, it resembles, a minimum of in the meantime, Amy has actually made a decision not to seek a partnership with Nathan. While, sure, there’s capacity for love, Nathan’s failure to share his sensations might simply be a dealbreaker for Amy.
Are you favoring Amy and Nathan? Or would certainly you instead see her with someone else? Allow me recognize in the remarks listed below! I wish to listen to all your ideas and concepts on Amy’s lovemaking!
Logan’s dilemma
In this episode, Logan had a truly fascinating story, too.
After last period’s unpredictability, in Heartland period 18 episode 1, Logan was strongly back at the cattle ranch and assisting Amy with customer equines. Nevertheless, he encountered a brand-new problem.
Logan’s vehicle had actually damaged down, and to repair it, he required some additional cash money. Amy, obviously, provided to pay his breakthrough early, however when Logan informed her that he would certainly require 5 of those to cover the price of the repair work, he had no option however to look for part-time work somewhere else. That somewhere else, sadly, going to Pryce Beef.
And, as you could picture, Tim was not pleased concerning this.
When Tim learnt, he faced Logan concerning his brand-new work and made Logan a deal: spy on Pryce Beef and collect intel, and in return, Tim will not inform Jack concerning Logan helping their major competitors.
.
Chris Potter as Tim and Drew Davis as Logan on Heartland period 18 episode 1.
Logan, obviously, had no option however to concur considering that, in spite of being uneasy with the concept of snooping, he really did not desire Jack to discover his job at Pryce Beef extra. Yet Tim’s confident plan was temporary due to the fact that Logan was swiftly discharged.
Why, you ask?
Well, it ends up Logan was so anxious concerning the entire snooping point that he wound up backing a tractor right into a fencing, which obtained him tinned.
However all wound up well and also provided us a touching minute in between Tim and Logan. When Logan informed Tim concerning what occurred, Tim not just provided to assist Logan out by repairing his vehicle however additionally informed him to maintain it in the household and come operate at the rodeo institution the following time Logan required some additional money.
It resembles cash battles are pestering greater than one Heartland personality this period. I question if this was a one-off story for Logan or if we will certainly see even more of him and his battles this period. I sure would certainly like to see Logan expand also better in period 18!
Katie’s brand-new innovative journey
Finally, allow’s speak about Katie’s arc in this episode.
Over the last couple of periods, we have actually seen Katie uncover her interest for creating, so it’s no surprise that in this episode, we saw her start a brand-new trip of innovative self-discovery.
At the beginning of the episode, we saw a lady entered Maggie’s to upload a flier for an imaginative creating course that she’s using at the public library. Katie had an interest in it at once.
Nevertheless, when the moment involved participate in the course, she recognized that the course was indicated for grownups matured 18 and over. So, Katie swiftly left the collection prior to the course might also start.
However it feels like Katie actually captured the interest of the female instructing the course– she also provided Katie Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier to review after she saw Katie reviewing Brontë’s Wuthering Levels when she initially strolled right into Maggie’s to upload a flier for her writing course.

So, with that said as inspiration, at the end of the episode, we saw Katie returning to the collection and, this time around, she remained for the course, also responding to the educator’s inquiry appropriately when no one else offered a solution.
The only point is, the educator appears to believe that Katie mores than 18 considering that when she initially saw Maggie’s, Katie informed her that she’s the assistant supervisor of the restaurant, and after that the educator presumed that Katie remains in university.
I liked this story for Katie due to the fact that it showcases her expanding freedom and need to discover brand-new passions. I simply wish that her not being 18 (and the educator not recognizing it yet) will not influence her possibility of totally discovering her innovative abilities.
Last ideas on Heartland period 18 episode 1
One of the prettiest scenes in this episode came when Nathan asked Lyndy concerning Amy’s favored foods when Amy needed to tip away to take a phone call.
.
Nathan: “I obtained a concern for you. If you were, uh … state, you were preparing an unique dish for your mama, like, state, for her birthday celebration or Mom’s Day, what would certainly you make her?”
Lundy: “That’s very easy. Blueberry waffles and clementines. They’re her much-loved.”
Nathan: “All right. Appears great. All right. Well, thanks significantly.”
At that phase, they had not fulfilled Nathan’s ex-wife yet, so their connection was still packed with pledge.
However the actual impact was seeing Nathan rest by an outing with waffles and clementines set out on the outing covering and asking Amy out on one more day, just for Amy to transform him down.

Spencer Lord as Nathan on Heartland period 18 episode 1.
It appears that in spite of Nathan maintaining his feelings near to the vest, he actually suches as Amy and wants seeking something with her.
Currently, all that is left is to see if Nathan can conquer his psychologically secured nature and really open to Amy or if their connection actually is doomed.
What did you think about this episode?
This period best actually established the phase for one more amazing and psychologically billed period of Heartland. With the cattle ranch dealing with competitors, dry spell, monetary stress, and your reasonable share of individual problems, the Bartlett-Fleming household will need to integrate once more to weather the tornado. And I can not wait to see just how all of it unravels!
