on Beyond Black Beauty...

Beauty's more wild mustang
than warm bloods.

Certainly not the partner
you hitch your dreams to.

[Jolie] Stonepointe
is the missing piece.

I need this.

Welcome to the
big leagues, Jolie.

Maybe we should do some clinics.

Stonepointe Equestrian Center

partner with the
Chamber's Family Ranch.

That is not our
decision to make.

This kind of partnership
doesn't make sense.

We're nothing like Stonepointe.

I gave you and Jolie everything.

Everything isn't
what I asked for.

[Janelle] I want
you to be happy.

[Eckert] I wanted
things to work so badly.

[sobbing]

[Eckert speaking
indistinctly on video]

Horse nerd! Best daughter ever!

[Jolie laughs on
video] Papa, I had

such a plan. I
need to concentrate.

[Eckert] That's the point.
I have to keep you on your toes.

Shoulder back.

- Eyes forward. Chin up, babe.
- [cell phone dings]

[melancholy music playing]

[sighs]

[knock at door]

- Dinner?
- Not hungry.

[melancholy music continues]

[night chirping]

It's, uh, real quiet.
Not like anybody died.

Just Auntie J's marriage.

[door opens]

[sighs]

No Jolie?

She's in a space.

And you? How you doing?

Short answer?
I'll recover. Right

now I'm more
worried about Jolie.

What she's going through,
you don't just get over.

You've both suffered a loss.

And that changes you.

I know what can
bring back the old Jolie.

Let's partner with Stonepointe
on that clinic.

Uh-- you want to
do what with whom?

I know. I didn't have
a great impression

of them either,
but this is for Jolie.

Have you ever seen anyone

that looks like us
at Stonepointe?

[laughs]

They're usually
janitors or stable hands.

That's not who we are.

Pride is important
to this ranch.

- And so is family.
- Mm-hmm.

Look, this would give Jolie

something to focus
on besides her dad.

And the community would have

something new
to look forward to.

Mom, come on, please?
This is a great idea.

Baby, a joint
venture ain't so bad.

It's the kind of
exposure that could

bring more folks
out to the ranch.

More folks on the ranch,
more food on our table.

Aren't you tired of
just breaking even?

Surely you have something to say
about this?

[scoffs] If I say something,

they'll accuse me
of starting a fight.

Sometimes we're a family

that prioritizes
past over future.

But, uh, you gotta
decide what you

want the legacy
of this ranch to be.

[thoughtful music playing]

[sighs]

[horse neighs in distance]

I know how you're feeling.

Great, so you'll
close the curtains

and shut the door
on your way out?

Or you can come
see what you've done.

What I've done?

[upbeat music playing]

The clinic?

Your father and
I want to support

your dream, no matter what.

“Your father and I.” Isn't that
kind of past tense? Permanently?

I won't lie. I'm hurting, too.

But, we're a family, Jo.
That part doesn't change.

And family uplifts one another.

We think you've
sacrificed enough.

And I know you want
this. So go be great.

It could help. It's not like
Ronnie knows what she's doing.

Actually... while
we set up the clinic,

you'll be training
with Gretchen today.

[upbeat music continues]

[theme music playing]

[tranquil guitar music playing]

It's okay, you got this.

[Yvonne] We'll
see about that. Hi,

Gretchen. What
are our next steps?

Over the next couple of days,

our employees
will work with yours

to put the course together.

A publicist will reach out to
schedule a press conference,

and the ranch will need
just a minor refresh.

Uh... Refresh? What
does that mean?

Don't worry. It won't be much.

A tidy here, a
coat of paint there.

Marissa here will
manage all updates.

Oh, and then lastly, our vet,

Dr. Bell, will
assess the horses.

Any questions?

None, thank you so much.

My pleasure.

Baby, we're fresh.
But we could look fresher.

And they'll save
us a coat of paint.

[TRINIX x Rushawn's
"It's A Beautiful Day" plays]

Hey. I heard you've
been through a lot.

But your family's
really stepped up.

Yeah, they're all right.
I guess I'll keep them.

Good spirit. You're
gonna need it. We

have to focus on
the Belgium qualifier.

- I'll go get Beauty.
- Oh...

When I said you made the

shortlist, I meant
you, not Beauty.

You will be training
on Silver Lake.

I'm grateful for the
opportunity, but Beauty...

Isn't a champion, Jolie.

The only reason I even made it
on your list is because of her.

No, you made the list because
of your international ranking.

You have the talent. Not Beauty.

Don't let sentimentality
hold you back.

Winners are created by design.

And... with the right resources,

you're a force to
be reckoned with.

So, Jolie, do you
want to be a winner?

Or do you want
to be left behind?

[horse neighs]

- [Janelle laughing]
- Thanks, Janelle!

You with me today?

We're gonna have to be. Can't

leave you alone
with your two left feet.

Oh, whatever. I can still
get down on the dance floor.

All right, Carlton.

[both laugh]

How's my cousin doing?

She still can't ride, but, uh--
This won't kill her.

- It won't.
- Yeah.

Plus, we got a lot
to look forward to.

Such as?

That's all I get?

Hey, I know how
this family works.

Y'all are the young
and the restless.

What? [laughs]

Next thing I know,
Mom and Doris will be

calling, asking when
we're due. [laughs]

- [horse grunts]
- You? You okay?

- I'm okay.
- Yeah.

Hey Big Time, chin up.

Sorry, girl, it's just me today.

Gotta stay on that short list.

I know. It's not fair. But I
don't want Gretchen to cut me.

What do you need me to do?

You'll be in good hands, Beauty.
Be good to Mom.

Good luck with
the exam, you two.

[upbeat music playing]

Y'all ever consider
lining these with silk?

You know, to protect my tresses.

Aren't you glad
you reconsidered?

This place is gonna look bomb.

Mm-hmm.

[sighs] Okay, Nana and Pop Pop

went on a strategic
shopping trip,

but they trusted me
with some wisdom

to pass on should
you start freaking out.

“Change is hard, but when you're

doing something
good for the community,

- it's necessary.”
- [scoffs]

Hmm?

So, we removed some of the junk
that was hanging around,

the couch, which
I guess is décor?

It's all tucked
away safely, in case

you have some attachment to it.

We're also taking
a look at which of

the facades is gonna
need a paint job.

Ooh.

Breathe, Mom, just breathe.
It's not that serious.

[sighs] It's not gentrification.
It's beautification.

Hello, Judas. What have
you done with my child?

[thrilling music playing]

Let's begin the assessment.

She's got a great frame.

Wonderful strength. I imagine
this horse can do quite a lot.

Solid find. What's her history?

Says here she was born
on a breeding farm in Virginia.

Her name is Jackie.

[Ana] Come on,
Jackie. Come on, girl.

You're going to do great things.

[Jolie] One, two, three, four...

[Gretchen] What's
wrong? Why'd you stop?

I thought we were here to do
Olympic training. I'm a pro.

Give me the hard stuff.

[Gretchen] You think you're
too good to measure the jumps?

Natural talent only
gets you so far.

And the difference
between any athlete

and an Olympian, is work ethic.

That means showing up every day
to do the basics.

Consistency matters.
Consistency wins.

- Now, let's get to work.
- [thrilling music continues]

[Gretchen] Keep on your legs.

Again!

Better. But more forward.

[Gretchen] Don't you move back.

Again!

Stay off your leg!
Think about your horse!

That's it! Enough!

No! No, I can go again.
I can do it.

No! I won't let you injure him
because you can't get it right.

I... I just need--

Need what, Jolie?

You're getting everything
handed to you right now.

More than most... so what
else am I not giving you?

[Eckert on phone] I see the
back. Watch your timing, huh?

I guess I've made some mistakes,
but I'm good.

I know I'm good.

Why did I blow it so hard?

Who blew it? You?

Gretchen's probably crossing my

name off the
shortlist as we speak.

I think that's your
inner perfectionist talking.

I couldn't even get
the basics right, Mom.

I don't get what's blocking me.

New trainer, new environment,
new horse, even...

It's natural to be nervous.

Yeah, but now's not the time
to be showing nerves

to someone who designs
champion athletes for a living.

I couldn't even
ride Silver Lake.

Do you know how many horses
I've competed with?

It was... It was embarrassing.

I should be able to do
what Gretchen does effortlessly.

But you're not Gretchen.

I don't mean you're not skilled.
I'm just saying...

maybe you found
your heart-horse.

The way you've
bonded with Beauty,

it's rare.
And maybe, what's blocking you

is that you know you
want to do this with Beauty.

She is capable of more.
I know this.

But Gretchen was clear,

if I want this, I have
to do it their way.

No, you don't.

Look, there's a
reason she wants you.

And she's shown you
a financial commitment.

Your father would say, "A Dumont
never accepts a first deal.

We set the terms."

Honey, you can
set the terms, too.

I'll go get Beauty ready for
her exam. Her stall's this way.

All that's left now
is her medical.

You've come a long way, Beauty.

Anything you can
tell me about her?

She's had a lot of owners
for how young she is.

But... she is
surprisingly sound.

I've never felt
these indents before.

Do we know where they're from?

Not exactly,

but we did find out
Beauty was a worker horse

for an historical fair
and a traveling circus.

Both were clearly
hard on her body.

I was surprised to see she's
been microchipped for competing.

You used to compete, Beauty?

I've never heard of this horse.
And I've been tracking

the competition circuit
for the last five years. But...

based on her history, it's
likely she just didn't excel.

Beauty may not have been bred

to compete, but she
was born to do this.

She just needs the right rider
to give her a chance.

[Beauty neighs]

[intense music]

[applause]

I always knew you had it in you.

[exhales]

One bad day doesn't
determine my track,

the same way breeding
doesn't determine Beauty's.

I'm meant to be
on that shortlist.

And so is she.

So... you take us as a team,

or you take neither of us.

I was worried you were
cracking under pressure,

but this was the kind of grit
I was looking for.

Can you two
perform like that consistently?

Absolutely, Coach.

Then I look forward to seeing

more. See you and
Beauty tomorrow.

We did it, girl!

What have you done?

What's the problem?

Is painting over family history
part of a refresh?

What family history?
It was just a fading old wall.

Why would I expect anything
different from someone like you?

Hey, why all the yelling?

Your minion
destroyed our mural!

- How were we supposed to know?
- It's your job to know, Marissa.

Yvonne, I'm so sorry.

How's sorry gonna fix this?

It doesn't. But
we will do better.

What does Stonepointe
get out of this anyway?

I think we can both agree that

this sport needs
to be shaken up.

It needs new blood.

But, creating new connections,
that's not something

we have been successful at.

We would have never been able
to do this without you.

You're not off the hook.
You need to make this right.

Of course, and I plan to.

Partners?

You better not leave me hanging
when you make it big-time.

Never. I couldn't make it big
without you anyway.

I know what you did for me.

That, my dear cuz,
is what loyalty looks like.

I want my ten percent.

- Hurry up--
- No!

- Come here. Come here--
- No.

- Okay. Come on.
- Come here! [laughs]

[smooches]

Uh-uh! No, thank you.

- [groans]
- What's wrong?

Just some leftover
pain from the rodeo.

I could have looked at
that for you ages ago.

But it's been so long since
we've seen each other.

For a second, I
was worried Coach

Shipp was trying to
keep you away from me.

My dad can't keep me
away from you. My bad.

[Janelle clears throat]

I'll text you later,
monsieur. [laughs]

Didn't think it was possible for
Beauty to ever be a third wheel.

I saw you stand up to Gretchen.

It felt good.
Thanks for having my back.

[phone dings]

[emotional music playing]

[Jolie] You and Papa...

it's weird. But also kinda nice.

Your father and I will always

love you. And
that'll always be true.

No matter what happens,
we're still family.

[both chuckle warmly]

It feels good for others
to finally see you.

I hope you see me
the way I see you.

Let's get to work, partner.
