01x11 - A Change Would Do You Good

[bunniefuu]

- 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 g*n.

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.
