Riley and Teddy enjoy the breakfast that Gus made them before he left. Emmy calls to check on Teddy on her first day. Teddy enjoys being with Riley but worries about leaving her father alone even though she coordinates with his caregivers for when she’s gone. Teddy notices that Gus has straightened up and cleaned the house since she was last there. Riley shows her to her room, which Teddy notices is close to Gus’s. Gus has made up the couch bed for her and placed wildflowers in a mason jar.

Teddy and Riley spend the day happily exploring the property, and Gus arrives home later than expected. Despite her dislike of him, Teddy cannot help but notice Gus’s handsomeness and tries to look away while he removes his chaps and shirt. Seeing Gus with Riley warms her heart. Gus plans to cook Teddy dinner even though she insists that she can get something on her own. Gus reminds her of when she entered all the county fair eating contests to get free meals, something she was unaware he knew.
