In Texas, after everyone makes a final toast to Asa, Jessica and Nash wonder what's going on with Natalie and Chuck -- who are MIA. When Jess jokes about Chuck being one fine ranch hand, Nash laughs and reminders her that she's a married woman. "Didn't stop her before," Jared says, causing Nash to immediately haul off and punch him! Once Clint breaks up the fight, Nash claims, "I'll keep my distance from him if he keeps his distance from us!" Though Clint has no clue what's going on between them, he warns, "Deal with it!"

Later, sitting on a bench, Jared is still steamed about Nash and tells Renee how he feels like an outsider being there. However, although Renee has been a Buchanan a few times over, she confides to Jared that unless you are 'really' a Buchanan, you never will be one.

Just then, Jared comes in laughing and joking about not wanting to missing the tractor pull, leaving Cris asking, "Is that Jared? What's he doing there?" Sarah has no choice but to admit she invited Jared to go to Texas with her! Cris doesn't waste any time snapping on Sarah for not thinking of her family by bringing that 'jerk' down there then ultimately hangs up on her! Sarah explains to Jared that Cris is upset and worried about Natalie's feelings by the fact that she brought Jared with her. Laying it on the table, Sarah confronts Jared about having a thing for Natalie to which he denies! Changing the subject, they both wonder what was in the envelope Asa left with Nigel!

Back in Llanview, just as Cris is leaving the gym, an old friend approaches him asking if he'd like to go out on a date sometime, which quickly boosts Cris's mood!
