Cam answered a late-evening knock to find Gus on her porch, explaining that Riley had forgotten her blanket for a team sleepover. Cam invited Gus in while the blanket finished drying, and they moved to the kitchen to talk.

Gus brought up work, explaining Rebel Blue’s expanding responsibilities—cattle operations, Baby Blue, and the sanctuary—and admitted he lacked his father’s legal fluency. He formally asked Cam to serve as Rebel Blue’s lawyer, noting that his father supported the idea and that he valued Cam’s expertise and trustworthiness. Cam was surprised and suggested she could potentially keep her firm job and help Rebel Blue, even saying she would do it for free.

Gus made clear he wanted Cam’s full time and focus rather than her splitting between roles. As Cam’s phone buzzed with a text from Dusty, Gus inferred that Cam and Dusty were back together and asked if she was happy. Cam admitted she was, describing how her life’s upheaval after the broken wedding had settled into a better shape: a home, their family, and a partner who cared deeply.

Gus encouraged Cam, saying she deserved a real partner who would support her and love Riley. He shared that Teddy’s presence had shown him what true partnership meant and offered his approval of Cam and Dusty, acknowledging how much Cam’s earlier approval of him and Teddy had mattered. He called Dusty a good, loyal man who had looked at Cam the same way for fifteen years and would extend that devotion to Riley, recalling Dusty’s protective behavior at Riley’s soccer game.

Cam was moved by Gus’s support. Gus emphasized again that Dusty is a good man and expressed gratitude for the night that made them co-parents, saying that parenting Riley alongside Cam, Teddy, and now Dusty would be one of his greatest accomplishments. They shared an emotional hug.

When the dryer buzzer sounded, Gus offered to get the blanket and asked Cam to consider the job offer. Cam thanked him and agreed to think about it as he left with the blanket.
