Cordell hesitantly lets his son August help him move into the converted barn/workshop, but gets furious at brother (Wil)Liam when he hears the perfect uncle considered filing for custody in his absence, but make sup and spends a night there with the kids, despite Stella constantly getting into trouble at school and with the law. the new boss having turned rule stickler, Cordell must renew his ranger certificate by just the same tests as Micki to obtain hers, but just mounting his horse, which comes naturally in his cowboy family, proves impossible as it rekindles too strong memories of his murdered wife. They investigate a fire at Ed Manchester's award-winning stud farm, where a prize stallion is involved, and a stable-hand's criminal record isn't the only lead.
