Geary returned to the big screen opposite Luke Perry in "8 Seconds" (1994), the biopic of rodeo rider Lane Frost, and played a small role as a gymnast in the Sundance favorite "Smoke Signals" (1998). She returned to series TV headlining the very short-lived (only two episodes aired) "You're the One," a 1998 midseason replacement sitcom on The WB.
