Tyra Danielle

Having been replaced at Raintree by the jockey she hired Kris feels lost but she and Junior have an idea. She’s going to ride Tamarac as Davis Farm’s new jockey. Kris clashes with Davis over the racing schedule but luckily Junior has finished his deal and is there to back her up. Dani and Matt decide not to try a relationship again. When she learns Matt is entering Flame against Tamarac, Dani wants to enter Tigress Eye too, but hoping for a unified front against Junior and Kris, Matt talks her out of it. Kris steps into an argument between Davis and Junior. Davis has setup another eco-project for Junior, which would take him away from Kris. Kris tells Junior to go for it and he does, leaving her alone with Davis. Davis tells Kris he plans to take Tamarac and her all the way to the Kentucky Derby. When Pablo and Jean learn about Matt’s plans they try to talk him out of it, saying that the horse needs resting time, but Matt is too angry with Kris to listen. Junior has bad news for Kris. The eco-project requires him to live in Alaska for a year but Kris wants him to do it so bad she offers to go with him. Davis tries to talk Junior out of taking Kris to Alaska but Junior won’t listen. Pablo discusses the move with Kris and how hard it will be to leave Wildfire. Flame flames out and Matt has to scratch him. Kris admits to Junior that she’s having second thoughts but despite that still wants to go with him to Alaska. Davis fires Kris off Tamarac leaving Junior furious. Kris asks Matt if she can ride Wildfire in Flame’s place. Jean and Pablo are shocked at first but when Wildfire has a strong practice race they all three get behind him and Kris. Dani is angry that Tigress Eye wasn’t chosen but Matt makes it clear that despite choosing Wildfire he supports Dani. At the pre-race party Davis is shocked to learn that Junior and Kris plan on getting married at Davis Farms. Kris asks Jean and Pablo to walk her down the aisle. Matt confronts Junior about taking Kris to Alaska but Junior points out that Kris will do what she wants to and Matt has to admit that he’s right. Dani and Matt bond over their love of racing and Matt kisses her. Davis confronts Kris. In order to keep Junior he has to be nice to her but he knows she’s just a opportunistic ex-con. Junior overhears that tirade and tells Davis he’s out of their lives for good. After the party Junior takes Kris back to Raintree and they get terrible news. Wildfire is missing and the chain on his stall has been cut. It looks like he’s been stolen.

Kris has undergone a desperate search for Wildfire since his disappearance in 4012. Having checked everywhere for miles around Raintree with no luck, Kris is left exhausted. Even if they find Wildfire he may not be in a condition to race in the upcoming Tucker Stakes. When another slot opens up, Dani enters Tigress Eye in the Tucker Stakes and Matt supports her. Davis comes to Dani for comfort after being rejected by Junior. He realizes he needs Junior in his life but Dani warns him that the best thing he can do is leave Kris and Junior alone. Kris gets a tip on a barn that is supposed to have stolen horses but when the others express some doubts she goes alone. She breaks into the barn but doesn’t find Wildfire. The others find her and explain that the barn belongs to a family that would never steal Wildfire. Kris thinks that Wildfire might be running with the wild mustangs and makes the others go out with her to find them. Kris spots the mustangs but when she sees Wildfire isn’t among them, she’s forced to accept that he’s gone for good. They return to Raintree in sadness. She looks up to see Wildfire racing towards her. One of the handymen left the stall unlocked and when Wildfire ran away he made it look like a theft. After seeing how much she missed Wildfire Junior has decided he can’t split them apart. He’s going to Alaska alone and they will get married when he gets back. Plus there’s a crisis in Alaska and he has to leave right away. Matt drives Junior to the airport and he and Junior become friends again. Davis apologizes to Kris before the race. Junior watches the race on an airport TV. The race ends in a triple photo finish. When the tape is reviewed Wildfire is declared the winner. After the race Kris says goodbye to Wildfire. She’s going to follow Junior to Alaska. Matt invites her on one final ride around Raintree. He leads her into the meadow where everyone is waiting. Jean produces a wedding dress and Junior appears, dressed in a tux. Junior put together an entire surprise wedding for Kris. Jean and Pablo give Wildfire to Kris as a wedding present and Junior tells her he has changed the plans. He’s canceling the project and not going to Alaska. At Kris’s urging Junior calls and invites Davis to the wedding. It’s an emotional moment as father and son embrace. The wedding starts and Kris and Junior exchange their vows. They are now man and wife. Then the blood drains from Kris’ face as a mysterious stranger makes a sudden appearance.
