Amy returns home from her three month European tour with Prince Ahmed. When Amy came home she changed because she had seen the world and the way she thought about where she lived had changed. " ' We took side trips to France, Paris, Rome. The history the beauty and the culture. It's so unbelievable. I was flying in today and I remember thinking everything is so bleak, I mean the suburbs but it was nice seeing the mountains. ' " Lou was piling food on Amy's plate at dinner but she told Lou to stop. Her meal size had changed since she had gone to Europe. " ' Oh Lou, not that much.' 'But you love my mashed potato?' 'Well the servings in Europe weren't quite as generous.' " Georgie has changed the way she treats Amy. She used to treat Amy like an older sister but now she treats her more like a celebrity. This gets on Amy's nerves and just wishes she would go back to normal. Jack and Lisa decide that when Amy gets home they will tell the family they eloped. At dinner Amy is saying how Europe was an amazing experience and Lisa says " ' speaking of amazing experiences. Jack, do you want to tell them?' " But jack changes his mind abut wanting to tell the family and decides not to. The next day Amy complains to Jack about the barn. She thinks it is un professional to have a 4 stall barn. " ' Grandpa can I talk to you about the barn?' ' Sure what's to talk about?' 'Well it's too small I can't run a business out of it they way it is.' 'Well you've done pretty well so far.' 'I don't even have room for Ahmeds horse and he cannot stay out side. I have to be realistic, we need to build on. I made a bit of a name for myself in Europe and I might be getting in some really expensive horses to train. I have to be prepared grandpa. What would clients think bringing they rough end animal to a 4 stall barn?'
