## Synopsis

*Bailey and the Haywoods make the best of bittersweet news as Beau prepares to replace his late wife's mare. Brody reconnects with an old friend.*

## Plot

Beau apparently is off his gluten free, dairy free, soy free diet that Summer had him on. He’s upset and he’s emotionally eating because he is going to have to replace his wife’s mare because she is no longer able to reproduce and that is the way that they make their money. But Melody, she’s one of the last things that they have from their Mom and Beau has from his wife.

Bailey is worried about Beau and wants to make sure that he’s okay. Whereas Cassidy tells her dad that he told not too long ago that she has to deal with her feelings and he again reiterates that he is fine.

While Beau is asking for a name for the horse, Brody is upset because whether it’s intentional or not, he feels like a loser when it comes to girls. He’s at that age where he’s discovering girls and he has to deal with his older brother who gets all the girls and steals all of the attention away from him.

Cassidy is trying to cheer him up and reminds him that his best friend is returning from France.

Jo is apparently like his bro-friend. Only she’s a girl. She’s one of the guys to Brody and he’s excited that she’s coming back but he wants a girlfriend. Not a girl who is a friend.

The lucky thing for Brody is that everyone is drawn back to Beau every five minutes because he’s over there having a nervous breakdown. Sure he was the one eating all the donuts, but his “being okay” makes him lash out at Bailey and remind her not to buy so much sugar.

The day continues and Brody is still pouting. Cassidy reminds him that pouting on the couch doesn’t help. Chloe is trying to get him off that couch and reminds him that Jo is coming back and she wants to know when. Of course, this reminds him to lash out about wanting a girlfriend, not a friend. Beau reminds him that Jo was a good friend and that he needs to appreciate that.

Brody is over it and wants to get the horse. After all, he knows that it is a girl that will come home with him. But when he opens the door and Jo is there. Brody is shocked to see how much Jo has changed since the last time he saw her, and Cassidy is the first to recognize her.

Chloe just wants presents. Brody is tripping over his words to try and say what is on his mind but he can’t. But unfortunately he just continues stumbling over his words.

He’s embarrassed and runs to his room. Bailey goes to talk to him to try and explain young love to him by using Dawson’s Creek and the relationship with Joey and Dawson as a guide book on relationships.

Bailey says he should tell Jo how he feels about her. But Brody admits that he’s never had a problem talking to her before. He continues by saying he missed the window when she was best friends, totally out of league. Brody says he can’t talk to girls. Bailey says he should sing his feelings out.

Later, Bailey drops hints to Jo that someone likes her, and she thinks that Jo likes Brody, but finds out that she likes Tucker instead.

Brody eventually comes down and sings a song that he wrote for Jo. Meanwhile, Bailey and Beau are fighting over who is gonna tell him.

When Dylan and Tucker arrive back home, Dylan tells them Jo asked Tucker out. Brody is crushed and as usual Tucker is oblivious. Bailey tells him that Brody likes Jo and Tucker makes this big show about how he’s gonna back off.

Bailey tells Beau everything is fine. She brought out the forget about it lemonade. Beau continues to say that he doesn’t want to talk about it or anything at this moment. Bailey breaks into song. Beau keeps telling her that he’s fine and eventually yells at her, which results in Bailey stopping her singing.

She keeps saying she knows, but he tells her she doesn’t know how hard it is. Eventually Beau breaks down that she doesn’t know what it’s like to lose your best friend. She lets him speak and tells him he’s a great Daddy.

Bailey tries to comfort by saying that there is more to life. She tells him that he’s been consumed with making sure his kids are okay that he hasn’t taken the time to grieve himself. It’s now his time to allow himself to feel. She is there, she loves the kids and she’s gonna be there while he takes time for himself.

He says she’s the worst nanny ever, but she’s got a heart the size of Texas. In that moment, Beau lets down his walls and lets his kids know that he hasn’t been okay, but he will be.

Unfortunately, when the whole family gets to the barn, they all end up seeing Tuck and Jo kissing inside the barn.
