So off to Texas she goes with her best friend June. They get to the Sweetwater and Aunt Ruby shows up. Aunt Ruby immediately asks if she's seen Luke. June is like and who is this Luke? Olivia just moves on. Olivia can tell that there's something going on with Aunt Ruby. Just then, Luke walks in. He immediately comes over and starts giving Olivia a hard time about not being out on the dance floor. She's not having it.

The next morning, it doesn't take Luke long to show up and start fixing fences and what not, showing off his ridiculous body. Olivia finds out that there's an offer to buy Sweetwater. Aunt Ruby ain't interested.

We got a b-love story, folks! Olivia is actively trying to set June up with Mayor Mason. He tells June about how Sweetwater is really struggling.

Luke shows up and just starts working on Olivia's car without asking.

Olivia bumps into Bryan, who is the one making the offer to buy Sweetwater. He isn't hard to look at and he asks her out to lunch and she agrees.

We finally find out that Olivia and Luke were young love. They were each other's first kiss, first dance partner, and first heartbreak.

Bad news guys - Sweetwater is out of money. They come up with an idea - a danceathon.

Luke decides to tell her that there are some things he needs to tell her - basically he loves her. And they're about to kiss but it's an almost kiss, folks! June bug comes out and tells them that Ruby's had a fall.

After finding out that Ruby is gonna be ok, Olivia finds herself at Sweetwater, remembering her and Luke dancing together as kids. Suddenly, present day Luke shows up and shoots his shot and they kiss big ones, complete with A LIFT!!! She also says she's definitely not selling Sweetwater.

The danceathon is a hit and Luke & Olivia dance dance and kiss big ones again.
