This episode was both powerful in some aspects and unrealistic in so many others.
The scenes where Jack was revisiting his relationship was powerful.
Every other storyline was unrealistic.
Ty would never have risked his vet license by doing something below board.
Lou's immorality and the low levels that she somehow manages to go somehow always surprises me. With the Dude Ranch to go to, as well as the Loft being available to go to since Tim was evidently out of town, not to mention Mitch's trailer she has no need to be sneaking someone into her room.
And Katie. A little girl who had been on a horse since at least four, and who at seven who on her own - al be it with also seven year old friend Brick - was riding a horse all on her own a half mile to the dude ranch, would not suddently at age eight either be afraid of riding, let alone having forgotten how to ride. With her messed up here and there childhood, being raised by anyone and everyone, it is maybe possible that she could have some jealousies or insecurities when it comes to Luke, but I doubt it. Growing up at "Heartland" she knows that people coming and going is a part of the life at the ranch. And an eight yearold would definitely NOT have been using the phrase "I grew up on a ranch."
I was shocked when I found out that Megan Follows had directed this episode. Yes, the scenes with Jack are totally Megan, the rest was not.
