The True Lifesaver Cars version

It starts a while after Sheriff Saves Lightning, he refuse to take Lightning's offer to help him with stuff. Lightning pleads him to do so since it's part of the Rookie Code, but Sheriff says that Lightning already owes that to someone else. He reminds him of someone who looked out for him and was always there for him, and that he can call that car not just a family, but also home. Lightning figures out it's Doc Hudson that Sheriff is talking about and decides that he's right and goes to talk with Doc.

Lightning goes to Doc's clinic and asks him if he has a minute. Doc says he does and asks what Lightning has to say. But before Lightning can talk, he begins to cry as he drives over to Doc and leans against him. Doc nudges him and asks what's wrong, and Lightning responds that he's so glad he has him. Doc is tearfully touched as he nudges Lightning closer to him as they embrace each other.
