In this nice tale, an old friend of Lucas, Jake Striker, has just purchased some land in North Fork and is ready to settle down. Upon arriving we learn that Jake has brought his daughter, Abbey, with him to make the place their home. What we find out about the beautiful Abbey is that she has been deaf since birth and therefore cannot speak nor communicate with anyone. It seems that Jake has been protecting her from everything outside even though she is now growing up and needing to be a part of society.
Meanwhile, they hire a young man, Brice, to take care of running the ranch. At first Brice is a bitter man due to some gambling problems but as he works at the ranch he develops a relationship with the beautiful Abbey. Much to the chagrin of her father, Abbey is growing up and is experiencing all things young women feel. But when Abbey is attacked, the father thinks that Brice is behind the assault. The protective father wants blood.
In any story such as this episode, the writer tries to make the viewer care about the people at hand. A perfect job was done with Abbey as the viewer really felt for the deaf and mute young woman. But how the beau, Brice, was written left the viewer shaking their heads. At first he was made out to be a bitter and problematic young man but all within a minute he was in a lovers chase with the fleeting female. So when the plot was near its climax, the plot could have played out in a number of ways. But perhaps that is exactly what the writer wanted. Overall, a very nice tale that is worthy of the series. Good watch.
