on Beyond Black Beauty
- Good luck getting to Belgium.
- Watch me.
So, you don't regret
walking away from
your syndicate?
No regrets!
Ana
She wants to help Beauty
and Jolie get to Belgium.
- What does she want?
- Beauty.
Your father committed fraud.
- Did you know?
- Know what?
Turns out he's the reason
my parents have been fighting.
Is he coming?
When it comes to my son,
I don't expect much.
I'm gonna take the bar.
It was my dad's gun.
I took it.
Why?
- To protect my mom.
- I think he's in trouble.
We could contact
Child Protective Services.
I know you're the reason CPS
showed up at my house.
I don't think I can
see you anymore.
Why are you trying
to take Beauty from us?
I'm not.
I know you're skeptical though,
but I promise I just wanna help.
You know what I've learned?
Help comes with
strings attached.
So no thank you. Beauty and I
will figure it out on our own.
Jolie I just want to see
you and Beauty get to Belgium.
Nothing more.
My family's worked very
hard to make this
a home for her.
So, she's not just mine.
She belongs here.
And it'll stay that way.
You know, more than anyone,
that a competition
horse requires
more money and care.
I know it's easier
for you to own Beauty,
but I don't feel
good about that.
I hated hearing
about Beauty's past.
How she was treated
especially since she was there
for me when I need her most.
So all I wanna do
is the same for her.
She's been
underestimated
time and time again,
and yet she keeps proving
everyone wrong.
And I bet you know a
thing or two about that.
This could be life-changing for
all of the girls
that look like us.
So, how about we do it for them?
And for us.
You ready, Beauty?
We're headed to Belgium.
Aww
Hey, looks like you've got
a "Fairy God Benefactor"
and you're headed to Belgium.
Congrats, cuz.
Felicidades, Jolie.
Thanks. And we finally get here
and all I want to do
is share this with
Alvin?
- Still hasn't responded?
- No.
And I told him when
I was leaving, but
Radio silence, which feels great
considering he said he loved me.
Guess that counts for nothing.
Maybe he just needs time.
Yeah. And I need to focus
on the competition.
Exactly. You're finally
going back to Belgium.
You'll get to see your old
friends, live your best life.
Let's hope. There's another
person not talking to me.
Maybe I'm the problem?
Are you dramatic? Yes.
Are you problematic? Nah.
Just reach out to Norah.
That's the plan. Make things
right between us again.
If only I had a wingman.
Mm? What? No
No, thank you, ma'am.
I have no desire to travel.
Everything I need
is within ten miles.
I can't believe you're gonna
pass up the chance
to see Europe.
Europe.
What? I go to
Mexico every summer.
You need to brush
up on your culture.
I agree, it'll be
fun. An adventure.
An adventure!
Flying? Terrifying. And plus
I got too much to do.
Couldn't even go if I wanted to.
Boo.
You want me and
Ronnie to go to Belgium?
You musta fell
and hit your head.
Babe, I just overheard
our daughter say
she's resigned herself to living
in Baltimore.
She deserves to see the world,
don't you think?
Of course, but
we can't afford it.
The clinic was a success.
Extra lessons means extra money.
You can afford to
take a break. Go!
Khalil has a point.
You could use a break.
And Jolie could use her cousin
by her side.
You're back on the road soon.
What about the ranch?
Rashaad and Ester can take care
of the ranch.
Lil' Man can stay with your
parents. Baby,
it's okay. Go live.
Oh, thank God. I wasn't sure how
I was gonna face
my life by myself.
I need you there.
It'll be our first
sisters' trip!
Okay, as soon as I get back
from the registrar's office,
we're gonna discuss logistics.
Nervous?
About returning to school
to take a two-day exam
that only forty percent
of people pass?
Hell yeah. But nothing
can stop me now.
I can't believe I just signed up
for the bar review.
I haven't been in a classroom
in, like, a hundred years.
Thank you for coming with me.
I needed the moral support.
Of course. When's the exam?
End of summer.
Time to get crackin'.
- Mm-hmm.
- Yeah.
What is that boy up to?
One guess. Do you
want me to find out?
We doing some shopping?
Yeah, I'm uh here for an
engagement ring for Ester.
Is long-time bachelor
Rashaad Edwards
finally taking the plunge?
You're not too
good at this, huh?
Want some help?
Actually, I bought one for
someone a long time ago.
But that's another life.
That one says Ester.
It's simple, yet elegant.
I may not be the best person to
say this since my
marriage imploded,
but if it's coming
from the core of you,
do it with intention.
You can't go wrong.
Good luck, Ra.
Good luck to you, too, Jan.
Back to Belgium.
So, I guess I'll see you in
what another 20 years?
Well
I have a lot to come home to.
- Bye.
- Bye.
Is this the one, sir?
Beauty's on her way? She's okay?
Yes, she got her
vet test and is in
the trailer is en
route to the airport.
Loaded up. Just
call when you land.
- Don't worry.
- With you, I don't. You're fam.
It's
beautiful. Be happy.
Hey Ronnie, you better bring
me back something good.
And nothing from
the airport neither.
Okay.
Mhmmm
You both better come back.
We've done this before.
What she means
is that we love you.
He made his choice.
You're off to
Europe to make your
dreams come true.
Okay? Stay focused.
This is
how you were living?
Technically,
it's my grandparents' house.
Mansion.
It's a mansion, Jolie.
We're home.
Welcome to Belgium.
I think Isabel and I were right.
You're loving this.
Relax, okay? We just got here.
There's still time
for you to be wrong.
As always.
Oh this is the airport
calling about Beauty.
Fix your face.
I had a plan. Staying
with my in-laws wasn't it.
But of course, Eckhert insisted.
I mean I'm sure the
hotel was nice, but
I'm not mad at this.
Plus, you're with your Auntie J,
nothing can go wrong.
What happened?
Customs won't release Beauty.
Why?
They got word that she
was exposed to a virus.
They're sending her
back to the States.
She was healthy before we left.
Beauty's the only one
with Equine Herpesvirus,
and the other
horses in transport
weren't exposed?
It's impossible!
It's okay, ma puce.
None of it makes sense.
And who made the call about the
Chambers Ranch being infected?
I have the same question.
Someone's clearly
spreading false information.
Yvonne's on the phone now triple
confirming that
none of our horses
were ever exposed to EHV.
I know you're worried,
but we're gonna figure this out.
Beauty must be so scared in
a new place. What do we do?
There must be a mistake.
Let me see if I can get a vet
for another test
to verify, okay?
With what connections,
and what money?
Better to stay out of it.
I'll make the call.
I have a contact at Customs.
Let your Grand-Père handle this.
It'll be over before
you know it. Allez.
This is your season ♪
You know it's yours ♪
Eyes open, jump in ♪
I know you're
worried about Beauty
and the competition
is around the corner
but your grandparents seem
to know what they're doing.
Can we take a second
to talk about this place?
You left out the
fact that you grew
up a von Trapp. The
hills are alive, girl.
I mean, it's nice.
See, this is why rich folks
can't have nice things.
They never appreciate it.
Jolie! Your Grand-Père has news.
Grand-Père, she's here!
So my contact had
another test done.
It proved the initials
results were false.
Ma petite fille,
Beauty is cleared to compete.
Thank you.
She seems a bit skittish.
Long flight, new
environment. I mean
She's just fled horse prison.
Don't worry, girl.
You're safe now.
So, my love, all is better?
Oui, Grand-Père. Te mon héros.
We'll always support you.
If you weren't taken so abruptly
to the States,
you would know that.
Yvonne, Ronnie,
excited to see Belgium?
Yes! Elle and I are headed
to Bruges this weekend.
I'm dying to see the canals.
I'm dying to sleep in.
Can't remember
the last time I didn't
have to wake up
at the crack of dawn.
Thank you, Ester and Rashaad.
When you go to Bruges,
you must visit the market.
Oh, okay! Yeah.
You okay?
Now that Beauty's okay.
I forgot how nice it is
to have, you know
Resources.
Makes life a lot easier.
Your grandparents
are helpful,
but their "easy"
isn't always best.
Just be mindful, okay?
To celebrate Jolie
and Beauty's health,
we'll all go to
Carré for dinner.
Translation, please?
It's an exclusive club.
It's kind of a thing.
Jolie, please
understand that I can't go.
I don't want anyone to chill
with the memories I've got.
It's best you get very busy
planning things with Norah. Huh?
Hopefully. I texted her.
Haven't heard back.
This place is something.
Is that Hilde on the end?
Yeah. My best friend.
Former. Before my husband stole
from her husband. Fun.
- Drink?
- Mm.
You know private clubs
are traditionally elitist?
They perpetuate
social inequality.
I agree.
But when in Rome.
Hmm.
Look at you, you're actually
enjoying Belgium.
If all goes well,
you could love Italy.
Oh, don't stop there. You ever
compete in the motherland?
Mhmm.
Jolie?
Say the word. I got your back.
Hey.
Hey.
Got your message.
I'm really happy to see you.
Yeah. Figured I'd come
since my mom was already going.
Right.
You remember my cousin Ronnie?
The realist.
- I just
- I've been dying to
That is not true!
Is that my mother?
Coincidence? No.
You probably helped him.
I'm surprised you have the
audacity to show your face here.
Look, I'm sorry for everything.
Honestly, I never
meant to hurt you.
Especially you, Hilde.
Hilde, don't listen to her.
- Can we be adults about this?
- Oh, that's rich.
You're the reason Hilde's
getting a divorce.
Ladies, you were all miserable
well before anything
ever happened.
Looks like you still are.
So do us all a
favor and go throw
stones at another glass house.
Thanks for meeting
me at our spot,
even though you think it's so
Touristy.
About earlier
I wanted that to
go very differently.
- I never meant to
- Jolie, arrêt.
You don't need to apologize.
I don't?
It was unfair to blame you.
Maybe easier.
Especially when
my parents split.
I wish I was there for you.
Divorce sucks.
Adults suck.
Distance sucks.
I missed you.
I have so much
to catch you up on.
Yeah, like the
Belgium qualifiers!?
Always knew you'd make it.
Thanks. So, any
chance you'll come?
No pressure.
Well, someone's gotta
keep you grounded.
- Love you.
- Mean it?
Janelle, would you
have a moment?
About last night
I heard your apology. I just
I just couldn't respond then.
- So, instead you left her?
- What could you say?
It was tense for everyone.
It was. And, you know
Veronike and Rita,
they love to make a scene.
- They do, don't they?
- Right?!
I'm just happy it
meant something to you.
It did.
You know, did
you want to join us?
I'd love to.
What happened to the woman
who's "done caring"?
C'mon, Beauty. It's
time to do our thing.
What's wrong, girl?
What's wrong?
You made it.
Told you I would.
And on our own terms.
I heard an unfortunate rumor
that she was exposed to EHV
and wasn't eligible to compete.
You made the anonymous call.
Jolie, don't make accusations
you can't prove.
And don't underestimate
Beauty and I.
You have no idea
what we're capable of.
Can't wait to see.
Maybe you'll surprise me.
