01x12 - The Promise of a New Day

Post by bunniefuu »

Beyond Black Beauty on

Welcome to Belgium.

My best friend, former.

You're the reason Hilde

is getting a divorce.

You were all miserable well

before anything ever happened.

Looks like you still are.

She's here. Hey.

Um, she seems a bit skittish.

We doing some shopping?

Yeah, I'm here for

an engagement ring.

For Ester.

You have no idea

what we're capable of.

Can't wait to see.

Maybe you'll surprise me.

Everything is fine.

This is not real, Jolie.

You've got this.

Just breathe.

Breathe.

Breathe!

Hey, you

know what to do.

You have to come, we've been

planning this party

since she was born.

The waitlist for

Ruisbroek is two

years long, how did you manage?

You only turn 16

once, and Dede and

I would do anything

for our petite fille.

I find adult juice

solves everything.

I know this isn't the vacation

you envisioned.

I mean, if it's not drama

with Beauty, it's my in-laws.

I'm sorry it's never-ending.

But I finally get to see

my niece in her element.

- Mm.

- I'm not complaining.

Well, I promised fun, so

whatever you wanna do, we'll do.

You wanna check

with your girl first?

I don't want the best friend

to feel left out.

A'ight petty. I want to maintain

peace. Like the adult that I am.

While you figure out

what's on the Parrish agenda,

I'm gonna go check on the kid.

Make sure she's ready.

- Hey. Does he know you're here?

- Hey.

Not yet, no.

You know Eckerd doesn't want

you here, yet you're

poking the bear?

I've already missed too much.

Hey. It's just me

girl, what's wrong?

Mon amour?

Jolie? Jolie.

Talk to us.

You're okay, you're okay,

you're okay. Just

keep breathing.

That's good, just breathe, girl.

Just breathe, baby girl.

Up next,

we have two-time

Olympian, Gretchen

Müller on Silver Lake.

It's okay,

it's okay, it's okay.

You competing against yourself,

Jolie. Don't worry

about her, okay?

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Mom, I I don't

think I'm ready.

Are you kidding?

Baby, you were born ready.

After all you've accomplished

in your almost 16 years.

We're already so proud of you.

You got this.

Okay.

You okay, Jolie?

We are not surprised

this Olympic team has completed

in a record 68.71.

From the United States,

Jolie Dubois on Black Beauty.

This Belgian native won

her first Grand Prix last year.

Not the first time I've

been anxious,

probably not the last.

That's the price for trying

to make your dreams a reality.

It's never been easy,

and I've had to sacrifice a lot.

Even be my own role model.

But it was worth it.

I'm finally here,

and with Beauty by my side.

Her 10-year-old mare

is less experienced.

When you're

competing at this level,

one might ask, why

this partnership?

This course is

next level. There's

very little time

between each sector.

But Jolie's pacing herself

for that double combo.

The

athleticism we are seeing

right now. This is a

brave, model jumper.

70.25. They did not beat the

Olympian. But in second place,

Jolie and Beauty are still in

the running for the qualifiers.

You did great.

Thank you, Beauty.

Sorry you lost,

but the basics matter, Dubois.

That's how you make

the American team.

Beauty and I are

still in the running,

so don't worry about us, Müller.

See you in Italy.

Ronnie, I'm not sweating it,

so why are you?

I just know how hard you guys

worked to get here.

- You're really not disappointed?

- No.

We have a long road ahead of us,

and we're ready for it.

She okay?

She's

probably just tired.

I'll keep an eye on her though.

It's your birthday.

Finally, we gonna

get lit at this castle party.

It's a château.

Château Ruisbroek.

My bad, Lady Mary.

It's Alvin How do I look?

Cute, but not trying too hard?

Unavailable, yet coy?

Uh, it's giving desperation.

With a pinch of

Le Thirsty.

- Rude.

- Relax, Belgium, he loves you.

Hey.

- Hey.

It's, uh, nice to see your face.

I saw you on IG,

you and Beauty k*lled it, man.

I knew you'd show 'em

how it's done. Congrats.

- And happy born day.

- Thank you.

I'll be home next week.

Any chance we can hang out?

Uh

As friends.

Yeah, that's not a good idea.

Look, this isn't

easy for me either.

But it doesn't change anything.

I'm not allowed to come

to the ranch no more.

It ain't right,

but I gotta do what I gotta do.

I'm sorry. What can I do?

I think you've done enough.

Uh, what?

You stuck your nose where it

didn't belong, and

now my whole

I love you, but you that doesn't

mean you get to

treat me like crap

because you're in pain.

You're in this position because

your father put you there.

Maybe don't speak on things

you know nothing about.

Stick with that silver spoon

you love so much.

Let's just go back

to not speaking.

- Works for me. Good.

- Good.

Good.

Yeah, I'm playing for keeps. ♪

Yeah, I'm playing for keeps. ♪

Yeah, I'm playing for keeps. ♪

Alright, Megan Markle, shake off

the blues Ain't nobody

got time for that.

Check, now fix your ta-tas.

- Check. Booty poppin'.

- Check.

Now let's have some fun.

So, um, we'll make do?

It's one way to celebrate 16.

We are so proud of you.

A year is a long

time to be without you.

- We've missed you.

- I've missed you.

Thank you for this. I forgot how

much I missed Belgium too.

Oh, I'm happy to hear that.

Maybe you'll

stay a little longer?

At least the summer?

Give your grandparents

some more time.

You really feel

like flying back and

forth like that?

Traveling is exhausting.

And we can give

you what you need

here. Quality time

and convenience.

That does sound nice, but I

should talk to my parents first.

Where is Papa?

Jolie, we don't want to spoil

the moment with

unnecessary drama, do we?

Tonight is about you.

Yeah.

I'm calling it a night.

- Not happening.

- No.

Happy Birthday Jolie!

How did you pull this off?

Well, every party

needs an after-party.

And we've got all night to

get into the right

kind of trouble.

You are the birthday girl, yeah?

- Yup.

- Ok.

That's cool, I like a challenge.

You didn't get the memo? That's

what we call toxic masculinity.

Noted.

And now you are just

enjoying the party so?

Yeah, music could

be better though.

I'm Sebastian, but all my

friends call me Bash.

Ok, well let's see

what you got Sebastian.

Hi.

Hey.

Listen to me. You're a good man.

And an even better father.

Don't let him convince

you otherwise.

Hey, our kid needs you.

The best version of you.

Eh, easier said than done.

But I hear you.

What about you?

I know about the offer my

parents made. Summer in Belgium.

Yeah, not happening.

She's not staying.

They love her. Adore her.

She excelled beyond

their expectations.

Yeah, and that's the problem.

She's a child.

She's going to make mistakes.

And what happens when

she falters, huh? What then?

Your parents

love is conditional.

Yeah, maybe.

But for now

What's best for Jolie?

You're ok girl.

She doesn't

seem like herself.

Maybe it's a cold, or allergies?

Vet came by this

morning, said it

was exhaustion. I'm

monitoring it though.

Good thing your grandparents

have insisted you two stay.

You won't have to schlep

her back and forth.

No, you were right.

I have eyes,

I can't just pretend they're not

making life miserable for Papa.

Your grandparents

are complicated.

- But they love you.

- You're defending them now?

I just don't want

you in the middle

of a fight that

doesn't belong to you.

It's becoming a habit of yours.

I'm allowed to

stick up for family.

Plus, I need to go home.

I can't just abandon my lessons.

The kids depend on me.

And since the clinic,

the ranch has been

busier than ever,

there's too much to do.

Jo, it's just for

the summer, and I

know how much you miss it here.

Wow. You're trying

to get rid of me?

Never.

You're my greatest

accomplishment.

But you're sixteen now

and a little freedom won't hurt.

Just promise to come home.

I promise.

I know it's been a little while

since we've had some romance.

Life just kinda got in the way.

Or I just fell short.

But I love you, Ester Chambers.

I can't imagine

my life without you.

You're the kindest man I know.

You like 'em?

They felt like you.

Yeah Me

Thank you.

But I can't accept them.

Why?

Because I don't

think we fit anymore.

You're breaking up with me?

Look, I know you

were ring shopping.

I was with Janelle when you

were at the jewelers.

But something obviously made

you change your mind.

I I didn't know

if you'd say "yes."

Rashaad, on some level

I know, you know,

that I'm not your person.

And If we haven't figured

it out after four years,

We never will.

Time is short

So, find the thing that really

makes you happy.

I smell feelings.

Come here, baby girl.

This view doesn't

get old, does it?

Not at all.
