[HORSE NEIGHING.]
- [HORSE NEIGHS.]
- Easy! Easy, girl.
It's not long now.
Hey.
I still can't get hold of Pin.
I think we need to call the vet.
And have her risk telling the mayor that we're hiding a wanted horse? No way.
Okay, I'll call Zoe.
I don't think Zoe knows any more about delivering a foal than we do.
Well, she might know where Pin is.
Fine.
Yeah, I'll call her.
[ARIEL NEIGHS.]
[ARIEL NEIGHS.]
[MARCUS.]
Easy, easy.
Uh, no answer.
Looks like we're delivering this foal on our own.
[CLATTERING SOUND.]
[THUDDING.]
[CLATTERING SOUND.]
What the heck? - [FRANK.]
Who goes there? - What's going on? Aaron? It's nearly foal o'clock, and Zoe's gonna miss it if she doesn't hurry up.
Look, Gaby's called her.
- She'll be here, okay?? - Ta-da! Look! [LAUGHS.]
I made the foal a sign.
I was thinking a welcoming party, or a mother-foal pampering session.
Winnie, slow down.
All Ariel needs right now is some space.
Down to one member today? Aaron texted in sick, Heather's a no-show.
You don't think she's plotting her revenge, do you? Oh, my goodness! What if she tells her mum? Oh! That poor little foal.
Winnie, positive thoughts.
Actually, there is something I need you to do.
I'll do it.
What is it? Our little foal's gonna need a name.
I'll make a list! It can't be Bob.
[WINNIE.]
Back to the drawing board! Can I help you? I'm not here to mess about, Arthur.
I know my son's in there.
Let me in.
[TED.]
Pin? Dad.
- What are you doing here? - Looking for you.
What happened? Uh it got late.
I wasn't feeling so good.
I must have fallen asleep.
Your phone's been ringing all morning.
- Zoe? - Gaby.
I suppose all the girls are interested now that you're the duke.
Come on, Dad.
I can give you a lift into the yard if you want.
I'm not going in today.
Pin I was pretty horrible to everyone last night.
I'm the last person they're gonna want to see.
I think I'll stay.
Arthur? My son would like to see the north hall.
You know, when I said I wanted to find my horse, I didn't exactly mean a fugitive, pregnant, unrideable wild one.
[GIGGLES.]
But I reckon you'll do.
- [ARIEL NEIGHS.]
- Oh, whoa, easy, easy.
Raven is just outside, and I'm not going anywhere.
[NEIGHING.]
[ARIEL GRUNTS.]
[GASPS.]
Ariel? You should tell my mom what I did.
You know I wouldn't do that.
I'll do it for you.
I should be back at home anyway, getting ready for boarding school.
[SIGHS.]
Is this 'cause of what happened yesterday? The mayor had no right to talk about you like that.
She's just a nasty lady who doesn't care Neither do you! You guys don't want me here.
Grandpa can't even be bothered to clear the junk out of this room.
Have you seen the rest of this house? Trust me, you got off lightly.
It's 'cause he knows I won't last the summer.
Everyone does.
That mayor lady was right, I'm a punk.
So I may as well act like one.
Careful.
That piece of junk is the just about the most interesting thing in this house.
Mm-hmm.
He's right.
You guys are making fun of me! Oh, no, we're deadly serious.
So what is it? [ZOE.]
Show him, Grandpa.
Mia.
Mia! Mia, just stop.
Look, I'm late for work.
For an office job! Since when was that ever part of the plan? Sorry? The internship's a great opportunity for me, and for Dad.
Mia, you've done some pretty crazy things in your time, but selling Firefly? I just don't have time to ride him anymore.
Mia, I'm your oldest friend, and I really care about you.
So please, just tell me the truth.
Is it money issues? Susie? - Bright Fields? - No, no.
- No, it's none of those things.
- Then what? [SIGHS.]
I thought it was horses and it is, in a way, but it's worse than that.
Mia [STAMMERS.]
I'm scared, Marcus.
I'm scared of Firefly.
[FIREFLY SNORTS.]
I've fallen off hundreds of times before, but this was different.
He wouldn't listen.
He was scared.
I already told Dad, but I'm not going to tryouts.
But it's more than that.
Uh I don't think I ever want to ride again.
[GABY.]
Help! Marcus, quick! Ariel needs us.
Will you come help? I have to go.
[AARON.]
Horse code? Is this how you talk to Raven? [ZOE.]
No, it's a Morse code machine.
It was a way of sending messages in times of war.
How? So basically, it's a way of spelling out words.
Oh.
Spelling.
We'll start with something simple: SOS.
I don't know! - Huh? - I don't know what that word is, okay? SOS isn't a word, it's a call sign, and it stands for "save our souls.
" Come on, have a go.
Three dots for S.
Three dashes for O.
[MACHINE CLICKS.]
And another three dots for the other S.
Like this? [GRANDPA.]
We'll make a proper boy scout of you yet.
Kind of makes you want something terrible to happen so you can send a message! Yeah, careful what you wish for.
You're not a bad kid, Aaron.
You're just having trouble getting your message through.
[PHONE BEEPS.]
[PHONE BEEPS.]
It's Ariel.
- The foal's coming! - You should get down there.
[SIGHS.]
I can't.
I messed everything up yesterday.
I don't know if I can fix it.
If I can go back, so can you.
Horses solve everything, right? [ARIEL GRUNTS.]
She shouldn't be lying down.
Yeah, I know.
I'm scared.
Yeah, there might be a complication.
We can't do this on our own, we need Pin, but he's He's at the castle.
Mia.
[MIA.]
Pin's at the castle.
I saw Ted heading over there this morning.
[GABY.]
Thank you.
[MIA.]
Um what can I do? Just stay here with us.
Stay here with me.
Peter the Elder.
Peter the Younger.
Peter the Wise.
Peter the Mad.
Oh, no, I do beg your pardon, that's Peter the Persuader.
Peter the Mad is there.
And what's through there? My quarters.
They're out of bounds.
Thought this was my castle.
We're here.
This used to be the ballroom, where I met your mum.
All the best parties happened here.
'Course, I never got an invite until Eliza asked me.
Troublemaking, as usual.
I'll never forget the look on your grandfather's face when I came through the door.
He came over here he looked me right in the face [CHUCKLES.]
And he called me a peasant.
So we left.
And she never came back.
Your granddad cut her off, just like that.
The last person that actually gave a damn about him.
Whatever happened with your friends last night, you can make it right.
Face them.
Say sorry.
Or you'll end up on your own as well.
Becky Marcus thinks Ariel is having difficulties.
I wish Zoe was here.
I feel like nothing can go wrong when she's around.
She'll be here.
She has to be.
[ZOE.]
Come on! Pin! What is it? It's Ariel.
You need to come now.
Gaby! Why didn't you call me? I did.
Honestly, I did.
[SCOFFS.]
Whatever, there's no time.
You guys we'll catch up.
Go.
Let's go.
Has Zoe replied? No.
Not even a hug emoji.
Well, you can get the real one right here.
[RAVEN NEIGHS.]
Oh, Raven's here.
We brought him here because we thought he'd keep Ariel calm.
Quickly, Pin, it's this way.
We think the foal might be in the wrong position.
What's wrong? Everyone just expects Duke Pin to swoop in save the day, but what if I can't, Zoe? I couldn't yesterday.
Well, forget about yesterday.
Listen to what's in your heart.
And to her.
I could do with a hand.
[ZOE.]
Pin, wait.
Gaby's got this one.
Ariel needs you.
Okay.
Right.
Good girl.
What is it, Pin? Is she breech? What's the problem? She's fine.
Then why is she lying down? It happens sometimes when they haven't foaled before.
She's just tired, and she doesn't know what's going on.
She's just resting before the big push.
[ARIEL GRUNTS.]
[ARIEL GRUNTS.]
Which is coming now.
[ARIEL NEIGHS.]
We don't have to do a thing.
Are you sure? Are you totally sure? Because I couldn't bear it if I lost her.
I'm sure.
Just be there for her.
- [ARIEL NEIGHS.]
- [PIN.]
I think she's ready.
[SIGHS.]
I'm going in.
I don't know what's taking so long.
Guys there's someone I think you should meet.
[GIGGLES.]
[GASPS.]
Is it a he or she? A he.
He's perfect.
His coat, it's almost black.
Yeah, just like [ZOE.]
Raven! He looks just like Raven when he was a foal.
[GIGGLES.]
Raven's the father.
[RAVEN GRUNTS.]
[LAUGHING.]
That's why Ariel came back to Bright Fields, she was she was looking for Raven.
[ZOE.]
She knew he'd be there when times got tough.
The perfect family.
[JADE.]
Guys emergency.
- The mayor is here.
- What? Please, Mum, don't do this.
I'm begging you.
The mayor looks so mad.
So does my dad.
You told her then? It wasn't me, I swear.
[ELLIOT.]
Darling, the funniest thing Claire seems to think you're hiding a wild horse at the yard.
You're not, are you? I'm sorry, but it's true.
Oh.
That horse is dangerous, and I want it off my island.
Look, it really is very simple.
Now, where is it? She is this way.
Thank you.
Zoe, what are you doing? Please tell me this is an elaborate plan involving a secret passage and a time machine.
Look, you guys, the mayor is the mayor, but she's also a mom.
Just Just trust me.
This is the wild horse that attacked your daughter.
She was pregnant and scared.
She came to us because she knew that we would protect her.
And her foal.
Raven's foal.
Well Thank you for making my job easier.
Claire I'm sure the kids thought they were doing the right thing.
[SCOFFS.]
Exciting times at Bright Fields! A wild foal has been born here at the stables, and of course the mayor is here to welcome it.
Darling, what are you doing? [JADE.]
We're going live on Becky's vlog.
How many subscribers have you got, Becky? Three.
Million! Tell me again what you were saying about Ariel and her tiny, helpless foal? [LAUGHS.]
This birth is great news for the island.
As you know, I've been interested in the wild horses for quite some time now, and I am committed to protecting this new addition.
Oh, and, um what about Ariel and the wild herd? Well, I'll make sure they're all protected, too.
If my daughter can forgive, then so can I.
Thank you, your services will no longer be required.
And what about Jade's pony project? Has my full support.
We want to register the herd.
Check them for diseases.
We need to track them, run blood tests, and work out why they've been behaving so strangely.
[MAYOR.]
I'll fund it all.
Whatever you need.
This little foal is a new beginning for all of us.
[PHONE BEEPS.]
Are you coming? You told me a summer at the stables would be good for me.
Maybe you were right.
[ZOE.]
Nice one, Heather! Ah! We did it! [LAUGHTER, CHATTER.]
We did it.
Go team BCPS! Breakfast Club and Pony Squad.
Obvs! - Where are you going? - Home.
I guess.
I know you didn't tell.
Your mum had this.
I'm sorry for doubting you.
I made you doubt me, with all the blackmailing.
I reckon saving a wild horse and her foal just about makes up for everything.
So I'm back in Breakfast Club? You never really left.
[HORSE NEIGHS.]
Oh, my Bob! We still need to name the foal! How about Scout? - Scout? - Like a boy scout? Yeah, sorry, it's probably a stupid idea.
- Forget I even - I like it.
It suits him.
It's perfect.
[FOAL SNORTS.]
[NEIGHS.]
[WHINNIES.]
You were amazing today.
I was terrified.
Every time I looked at poor Ariel, I wanted to run away.
But you stayed.
Even though you were scared, you stayed.
Do you know what that says to me? You will ride again.
And I'll be there to help you every step of the way.
You are a dark horse, aren't you? [RAVEN GRUNTS.]
Secret girlfriend, secret family.
Look I know I couldn't be there for you when you were a foal [RAVEN GRUNTS.]
But I promise I'll be there for your baby.
Hey.
Whatever it takes.
Come on, little legs.
- You nearly missed everything.
- Yep, thanks to Gaby.
I can't believe she'd do something like that.
A lion never changes its spots.
Leopard.
Where? [LAUGHS.]
Nobody's perfect.
I don't know, that foal comes pretty close.
I can't believe we finally got through to the mayor.
I know, we did it! Ariel's saved and the wild horses are protected.
Pony Squad mission - accomplished! - Yes! I guess Ariel is the first horsepital patient? - Horsepital? - Yeah! Becky came up with that name for this place.
Oh, it's gonna be great.
Yeah, when it's finished.
Hey, um, Pin, you know you can be straight up with me, right? Like, if I'm making you do something you don't want to do, like the tea party, I'd rather you tell me instead of talking to Gaby.
I didn't talk to Gaby.
I wouldn't, not about something like that.
- But she said that you told her - Look.
She probably just overheard me talking to my dad or something.
Stop worrying.
You twisted the stuff about Pin yesterday.
- Did I? - Yes, you did.
And you tried to get me to miss the foal's birth today.
I have done nothing but defend you and give you somewhere to live.
And take over! I don't take over.
You do.
I don't think you mean to, but you do.
Every time.
Look, I love Ariel.
And I just wanted to be there for her today.
I get that, Gaby, I do, and I'm so glad that you got your moment.
But a friend wouldn't lie like that.
But you're not really my friend, are you? I've just been kidding myself this whole time.
Think what you want.
Hey.
I need a training partner.
Any hours, any horse.
I'll take whatever you've got.
Worried I'm gonna beat you at try-outs? This isn't about you.
I have to beat her.
I have to beat Zoe.
[ZOE.]
And so the sun sets on Bright Fields.
And on mine and Gaby's friendship.
But at least the wild horses are safe! Now nothing and no one can cause them any harm.
