Follow-up Question

I can see that it's correct to have a hydride shift from a secondary carbocation to another secondary carbocation in this case. I guess what I'm saying is, doesn't hydride shifts only occur when it only produces a more stable carbocation? For instance, secondary carbocation does a hydride shift to a tertiary carbocation. Is it correct to do a hydride shift from a secondary carbocation to another secondary carbocation in this case because the pi bond shifts to produce a tertiary carbocation? And this shift (from a secondary carbocation to another secondary carbocation) only plausible if the pi bond shifts afterwards to create the tertiary carbocation?
