Summer chats with Willa on the phone and tells her about almost kissing Rhett again, and Willa jokes with her about “riding the cowboy.” Summer joins Harvey and Cade at the breakfast table. Cade half-heartedly apologizes, saying that he regrets having put Rhett in a potentially compromising situation. When Rhett arrives, Summer makes more coffee, and as their hands touch, she detects something odd in his demeanor, as if he is trying to avoid her. Cade launches into a calculated tirade on his hatred of rodeos and asserts that bull riding has nothing to do with ranching. Harvey intervenes, forcing Cade to back off, but the damage is done, and Rhett knows that he has once again been humiliated by his family. When Rhett leaves, Summer tells Cade that he should apologize to Rhett because Rhett rides bulls to support the ranch. She then follows after Rhett.

Summer watches Rhett as he sits for an interview in Blackwood Creek and answers questions about his next competition. He candidly describes his upbringing and his life on the ranch, which makes Summer proud. Even though Rhett has been grumpy all morning, she catches him looking at her butt in her new Wranglers, which she bought to better fit in at the rodeo.
