on Beyond Black Beauty...

- Good luck getting to Belgium. - Watch me.

[Ronnie] So, you don't regret

walking away from your syndicate?

- No regrets! - [Yvonne] 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.

[Alvin] It was my dad's gun.

- I took it. - [Jolie] 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.

[Jolie] 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.

[Jolie] My family's worked very

hard to make this a home for her.

So, she's not just mine. She belongs here.

[Ana] And it'll stay that way.

You know, more than anyone,

that a competition horse requires

more money and care.

[Jolie] 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.

[Jolie] 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.

[upbeat music]

You ready, Beauty? We're headed to Belgium.

Aww...

[theme music]

[hip-hop music]

[chuckles]

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?

[snickers]

Are you dramatic? Yes.

Are you problematic? Nah.

Just reach out to Norah.

That's the plan. Make things right between us again. [sighs]

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!

[laughing]

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.

- [chuckles] - 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?

[chuckles]

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?

[chuckles] Well...

I have a lot to come home to.

- Bye. - Bye.

[jeweler] 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.

[sigh of relief]

Loaded up. Just call when you land.

- Don't worry. - With you, I don't. You're fam.

[chuckles] It's beautiful. Be happy.

Hey Ronnie, you better bring me back something good.

And nothing from the airport neither.

- Okay. - [chuckles]

- [chuckles] - [Doris] Mhmmm...

You both better come back.

We've done this before.

What she means is that we love you.

[dramatic music]

He made his choice.

You're off to Europe to make your

dreams come true. Okay? Stay focused.

[Ronnie] This is how you were living?

[Jolie] Technically, it's my grandparents' house.

[Ronnie] Mansion. It's a mansion, Jolie.

[Jolie] We're home.

Welcome to Belgium.

[Ronnie laughs]

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. - [cell rings]

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.

[intense music]

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... ♪

[sighs]

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.

- [Beauty neighs] - She seems a bit skittish.

Long flight, new environment. I mean...

She's just fled horse prison.

[Beauty snorts]

Don't worry, girl. You're safe now.

[jazz music plays]

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?

[tinkling of glasses]

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.

[jazz music plays]

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.

- [speaks foreign language] - But when in Rome. [laughs]

- [laughs] - Hmm.

Look at you, you're actually enjoying Belgium.

[Ronnie chuckles]

If all goes well, you could love Italy.

Oh, don't stop there. You ever compete in the motherland?

- [laughs] - Mhmm.

- Jolie? - [tense music]

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.

[Jolie] Right.

You remember my cousin Ronnie?

The realist.

- I just-- - I've been dying to--

[Janelle] 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.

[scoffs]

Thanks for meeting me at our spot,

even though you think it's so--

[both] 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?

[music plays]

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.

- [Beauty neighs] - What's wrong, girl?

- What's wrong? - [Beauty brays]

You made it.

[Jolie] 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.
