Meanwhile, Tim and Jack have their own issues as they both bid on the same piece of land which they want to develop into an RV park. Meanwhile, Amy is struggling with her work life balance when she receives a call from the school counselor who tells her that Lou's daughter, Katie, is starting to get anxious and is behaving oddly in school.
During the episode, we see Ty trying to fix up the old truck but he struggles with it as it is in a pretty bad condition. Amy offers to help him but Ty insists that he wants to do it alone in order to prove himself. Ty, who is already struggling with his own issues, gets frustrated with the truck and starts to lose hope. He takes a break and goes for a ride on his motorcycle to clear his head.
Meanwhile, Jack and Tim are both determined to get their hands on the piece of land but they cannot seem to agree on the terms. Jack thinks it's a good investment, while Tim just wants to make a profit. As they fight about it, they both get frustrated with each other and start to act immaturely.
As Amy struggles to figure out what is wrong with Katie, she starts to investigate and finds out that Lou is pushing her too hard. Lou is trying to make her daughter excel in every aspect of her life, from sports to academics, which is causing Katie to feel a lot of pressure. Amy confronts Lou and tells her to ease up on Katie and let her be a kid.
Towards the end of the episode, Ty manages to finish fixing up the truck and impresses Amy, who offers to buy it from him. Jack and Tim finally agree to both invest in the land and work together on the project. And Lou takes Amy's advice and decides to let Katie take a break from her intense schedule.
