Ep 5. Corporate Cowgirls

In Heartland season 2 episode 5, titled "Corporate Cowgirls," viewers are introduced to a group of women who work in the corporate world but long for the simple life in the country. Jack hires a group of these women to help with the cattle drive, much to Amy's dismay.

The episode opens with Lou working hard on the Dude Ranch, trying to generate more business. She receives a call from a group of women who work in the corporate world but yearn for the cowgirl lifestyle. Lou sees this as an opportunity to get more business for the ranch and convinces Jack to hire the women to help with the cattle drive.

Amy is not happy about this decision, as she feels that the corporate cowgirls are not qualified to handle the cattle. She worries that they will put the animals in danger and slow down the drive. However, Jack is confident in the women's abilities and believes they can handle the job.

As the cattle drive begins, tensions start to rise. The corporate cowgirls struggle with the physical demands of the job and the rough terrain. They also clash with Amy, who is in charge of the cattle drive. Amy is frustrated with the women's lack of experience and their seemingly frivolous attitude towards the work.

Despite the challenges, the corporate cowgirls start to bond with the horses and the land. They slowly begin to understand the hard work and dedication it takes to live the cowgirl lifestyle. Lou sees this change in the women and realizes that they are making a genuine connection with the ranch and the animals.

In the midst of the cattle drive, Amy receives news that Ty has been injured in a rodeo accident. She is torn between staying with the cattle and rushing to be by Ty's side. Jack encourages her to leave and tend to Ty, while he stays behind to lead the cattle drive.

As Amy rushes off to be with Ty, the corporate cowgirls step up and prove their worth. They work together to keep the cattle moving and safe, and ultimately prove to Amy that they are capable cowgirls.

Overall, Heartland season 2 episode 5 is a heartwarming story about the power of hard work and determination. It showcases the struggles and rewards of living the cowgirl lifestyle, and highlights the importance of community and teamwork. The corporate cowgirls may have started out as outsiders, but by the end of the episode, they have become an integral part of the Heartland family.
