The more compliments Leroy gives to Maybelline, the faster she runs, and the happier he is. As the sun begins to set, Leroy tells Maybelline that they should go home, but the horse slows to a stop and whinnies. Leroy realizes that she does not know the way, so he dismounts and leads her by the reins while Maybelline nudges him gently with her nose.

They arrive at Leroy’s home, the Garden Glen Apartments Number 12. However, Maybelline is too big to get through the door. After unsuccessful attempts to push her inside, Leroy is on the brink of tears until he remembers that cowboys do not cry. Pausing, he contemplates Patty LeMarque’s advice, and he tries to compliment the horse through the door. This does not work either. Then, Leroy recalls that Maybelline likes to eat a lot. He decides to make her food and then deal with the door later. The horse loves this idea, and Leroy admires her some more.

When Leroy opens his refrigerator, he ponders what a horse is supposed to eat. Unfortunately, he does not have hay or oats. Hearing Maybelline whinny, Leroy decides to make a pot of spaghetti, thinking that everyone likes pasta, so Maybelline must too.
