Summer texts Rhett and suggests that he join her at the gym. Once there, Summer says that she has been researching exercises that could help him. Rhett mockingly calls Summer “Princess” but struggles to match her pace at the gym. Though he can’t stop staring at her in her athletic wear, Rhett is annoyed that she seems unfazed by him. When he doesn’t openly discuss his bull-riding injuries, she asks him to describe the typical injuries that a hypothetical bull rider would sustain. Rhett shares that hand, shoulder, and hip injuries are all common, and Summer can tell that he is struggling with pain. Summer leads him through a brutal core workout that she claims will help to prevent other injuries. While they are stretching, Summer leans over him, and Rhett is so aroused that he struggles to maintain his composure and finally admits to himself that he has a crush on her.
Kip texts Summer and suggests that she convince Rhett to drink a glass of milk in public, but she refuses because she knows that he doesn’t like milk. Summer updates Willa on the phone, sharing that she and Rhett are getting along more easily.
