They say you have to get back on the horse.
What they don't say is you have to get back on the horse
that bolted with you at a zillion miles an hour,
then train for a county show.
I guess it's less catchy.
Ready?
Yeah, can we take it slowly?
Who are you and what have you done with Zoe?
- Please? - Sure.
Don't look so worried.
Let's start with a walk around, hmm?
That's it.
Take him for a walk.
Jump on, canter, and hop over that meter-high fence there.
I'm kidding.
Ugh. Marcus.
We're going to get you comfortable around Raven again.
You just need to start from the beginning.
First your horse, now Marcus.
Is there no stopping that girl?
Darcy's really dirty, don't you think?
- I only groomed her this morning. - Well, you've done a dreadful job.
I think Darcy needs a bath.
- How's that feeling? - Good. I think.
- Oops. Sorry! - What the hell, Mia?
- It was an accident. - You know he doesn't like water.
You okay?
I just need a minute.
He probably just picked up on your nerves.
He gets like that around beginners.
Let me know when you want to try again, Zoe.
That wasn't helpful.
I said sorry, didn't I?
I was just distracted.
I haven't been able to focus since Firefly was stolen.
Maybe being a cover girl will cheer me up.
- Is the magazine out today? - Yeah.
Daddy's even more excited about it than I am.
He canceled this huge meeting on the mainland
just to take me out for lunch.
That's typical Daddy. He's always putting me first.
You're happy for me, aren't you?
Guys, I'll just get Raven...
"On quiet nights when the moon is waning,
listen for the trit trot of the hooves as the Ghost Pony appears,
looking for its lost master,
waiting for his soul to be released."
I should put these into albums. Keep them safe.
Don't you have them backed up online?
These are from before online.
There's a before online?
It means they're very precious.
Emerald's the Ghost Pony? No way.
Zoe, you got a sec?
I know. I know, I totally blew it.
What kind of a rider can't even stand next to a horse?
Hey, it's okay. It's okay to be scared.
Uh, Zoe. I was actually thinking, uh...
Were you...
Are you...
The dance...
- You going with anyone? - Yup.
- Oh. - Jade and Becky.
Oh. Right, well, the thing is...
We figured it'd be better to go with friends.
I mean, who wants to go to a dance with, you know, a date
and annoy everybody with how cute you are together, right?
Guess I'll see you there then.
Oh. Hey, guys.
- Hey? - Hey.
Is that all you can say?
Look at her. She has no idea.
What? What happened?
Hot Marcus just totally asked you to the dance is what happened.
No, he didn't. He's going with Mia. I saw him kiss her
after she deliberately splashed water on Raven to make him freak out.
Mia must know Marcus likes you.
Guys, Mia has a problem with me because of Raven, not Marcus.
- Raven's got issues. - Big-time.
I can't ride him until I figure out what his problem is.
I think Ted and Pin know more than they're saying.
Yeah, well, it is weird that Pin never told you he owned Raven.
- Right? - Yeah.
Pin's an enigma wrapped in a mystery, wrapped in a... tortilla.
Hmm. Mystery tortilla.
Maybe if we stop treating Pin like an outsider,
he'll stop acting like one.
You should ask him to the barn dance.
As if. Pin never comes to the dance.
Well, maybe he should.
I mean, the guy needs to loosen up.
I feel sorry for him being stuck out on the moors with his dad,
- being all moody. - Thinking about you.
Pin is a friend. A friend who knows more about Raven than he's telling us.
You said we were going for lunch together.
I know, but James invited me to his house in the country for a few days.
It's golf, isn't it? Again.
But you promised.
I'll tell you what, keep the reservation at the restaurant. Take Susie.
And here. Buy a few dozen copies of that magazine.
I want to show everyone my cover girl.
Bye-bye.
Are you okay?
- Of course. - We'll still have fun.
I've always wanted to go to Chez Elle.
Oh. I don't really think it's your kind of place, Susie.
Oh.
Anyway, I've got a much better idea.
Come on. Let's go shopping.
I didn't hear a horse.
I walked.
How's he doing?
He's off his food. I'm really worried about him.
Pin...
where is Raven from?
No idea.
I know you owned him when he was a foal.
- So? - So, why didn't you tell me?
Are you accusing me of something? Again?
No, I'm really not.
But what I don't get
is why you're still keeping stuff from me. I thought we were friends.
Why would you be friends with me when I'm clearly up to no good?
- I didn't say that. - You didn't need to.
Just go, Zoe.
I think you and me need to have a little chat.
That is... so gross.
Well, hello there, fair lady.
- Couldn't keep away? - I need someone's help with this.
Who can tell me about Ghost Pony?
I know just the person. Follow me.
So, would you say his mane was long and scraggly, or pristine and well kept?
Long and scraggly.
He has this death stare that can turn any person into stone...
And would you say he would roam the moors or is he more likely to be seen in town?
- Can you stop encouraging her? - The moors.
Although Kitty Walsh swears she saw him in the supermarket once.
Which is why she totally forgot to pay for her shopping.
A likely story.
Well?
The description fits.
No way!
G.P.'s in an actual book!
And a photograph?
It's okay.
I know who the Ghost Pony is and how to get rid of him.
But first, my gramps told me to speak to this man.
Edward Hawthorne, where can I find him?
We'd had storms for weeks...
so on the first calm day, I went down to the beach
to see what the sea had washed up.
Never thought I'd come back with a foal.
Raven.
- I told Pin not to name him. - Everyone needs a name.
I thought someone would turn up looking for him, but they didn't.
When he bolted, he took me to the beach.
Tell her.
This crate... was washed up near where I found him.
We think he came to the island inside it.
No wonder he's afraid of water. Imagine being in here, in the sea.
It's amazing he has the courage to do anything at all.
I never planned on selling him.
But Elliot made me an offer I couldn't refuse.
It was a hard time for Peter and me.
The money helped.
So, now you know.
You lied for your dad.
I didn't want to cause any trouble for him. Didn't want to hurt him.
- You wouldn't understand. - But I do.
I do. I... I guess you don't always know what people have been through.
- Susie, be careful. - Sorry, Mia.
- Oh, my goodness. - What?
That woman is reading Pony People magazine. It's out!
- Mia. - What?
I think you should prepare yourself for the fact
that you might not be on the cover.
What?
The photographer was awfully interested in Zoe that day.
Zoe won't be on the cover.
But if she is, she'll be sorry.
- Excuse me, can I just... - Um...
Get me my phone.
Why aren't you riding?
Um... I am.
- I mean, I plan to. - Are you scared?
Maybe.
But knowing who Raven is will really help.
He's been through so much, and if he can be brave... I can, too.
Anyway, I'll see you later, Peter.
- That's your name, right? - Only my dad calls me that.
Oh, so, Pin's a nickname?
- What does it mean? - It's not a nickname.
It's my name.
Pin it is.
I want to know who this random girl is and what's going on.
But then who...
I see...
- Okay. - What did they say?
Something really weird is going on.
I know.
I know what happened to you.
But I'm never gonna let anyone hurt you ever again.
I swear.
Never again.
Do you think she'll tell anyone?
I know she won't.
Tedward Hawthorne?
Who's asking?
Rosie Phillips.
- Maggie's daughter. - Another one?
Save me from the Steel girls.
I need your help.
Hey.
You're back.
I want to train on him properly. To start at the beginning,
and keep going till we get to the county show. Then I want to stop
and probably sit in an ice bath.
Hmm. Okay.
But this time, we're following the rules.
Well, if you would have stuck to the rules in the first place...
You are unbelievable.
Okay.
Come on, Raven.
Let's do this.
And now walk him.
Good.
And again, Zoe.
Nice.
- Relax those hands. Clench your feet. - Right.
Easy. Aim for the middle.
I'm gonna lower the jump for you.
Okay, Raven, we got this. You have to be ready.
- Are my hands okay? - Relax them.
Yes.
Go on, go on.
Come on, Zoe.
- Very nice. Okay. Now the water jump. - What?
- No way. Raven will never go for it. - Just see what happens.
Okay, come on, Raven. We can do this.
Come on, Zoe. Come on.
It's okay.
Little idea. Let's pretend this whole water-jump thing doesn't exist.
There's a water jump in the county show, Zoe.
We're the alternates.
Be ready just in case. If you're chosen on the day and you can't do it,
Bright Fields could be disqualified.
No biggie, then.
But there's something I have to do first.
Just a little further.
And there's definitely a spa up here?
Sure.
They're coming.
What's this?
What's going on?
This is the place, Maggie.
- It's where Ted buried him. - This is where Emerald is?
Mom, Emerald is your horse.
- He was. - But now he's a ghost pony.
He's still out there. Roaming the moors.
Seeking revenge.
I think what Rosie's trying to say...
If you don't say goodbye to your horse properly, then...
Then you'll never set his spirit free.
We'll all be doomed.
I see.
It's time to let Emerald go, Mom.
Ted...
this place is...
Is perfect.
You should see it in the spring. It's all yellow with buttercups.
Emerald loved buttercups.
I know I hurt you.
You did.
But maybe it's better for all of us if we just let that go.
Okay, people.
That's enough.
Rosie, what are you doing?
It sounds simple, doesn't it?
Let go.
But the problem with letting go is...
you could fall.
- Hey. - Hey.
- Your mom okay? - She will be.
We just need to give her a little bit of time.
At least the Ghost Pony's been laid to rest.
I'm not so sure.
- Please don't. I can't bear it. - Emerald was a ghost pony.
He's not the Ghost Pony.
As long as the long-lost treasure's there, so is the Ghost Pony.
Darling, I'm back!
Guess what.
I stopped at the office.
My secretary gave me a copy of your magazine.
Where are you?
I'm not on the cover.
Oh. Oh!
- I told all my people you were. - There was a mix-up.
I called the magazine and they've never heard of Bright Fields.
- Wait, what? - The photographer was a fake.
I know you're upset. You thought you were gonna be on that cover.
We need to find out who he was.
He could've been part of the horse thieves.
Oh, don't start, Zoe.
We've all had enough of your crackpot theories.
You didn't get the cover, get over it.
- First of all, Mia, what I'm gonna need... - Hang on.
Now, Mia, Zoe's right.
It is strange.
I'll ask Derek to look into it. See what he makes of it.
She's such an attention-seeker. Making it all about her.
- Again. Will you be okay? - Yeah.
I didn't get the cover, but there's something else I want.
And I'm not gonna let him get away.
- Knock, knock. - Hi.
Hey.
- Here you go. - Thanks.
Hey, Rosie, did you see this?
Look.
"The light will come through again. Love, Mama."
That's Grandma's handwriting.
Mom had a tough time, didn't she?
She did.
And she held onto that hurt for a very long time.
But, thanks to you, the light is coming on through.
Mom can move on.
Rosie... what is it?
Nothing, it's...
It's just that Mom seemed awfully pleased
to see that Tedward guy again, don't you think?
Rosie, we've been through this before.
Mom is not gonna run off with some other guy.
- She just needs space. - She has space, Zoe.
And time.
She'll get there.
Thanks.
- Come on, then. - I can't.
I haven't ridden outside the arena yet.
Zoe, I've been watching you. You're ready. I know you are.
- Wait, I... - Ah.
- You're worried you're not gonna keep up. - Uh-uh.
No, you're gonna eat my dust.
Come on, then.
Prove it.
When I was little...
I couldn't say "Peter."
So, my mom called me "Pin."
She left when I was five, but by then I wouldn't answer to anything else.
My name's kind of all I have left of her.
Where did she go?
Don't know.
Dad said he always knew that she'd run away, but...
still broke his heart.
Is that why you stay away? It's safer?
Well... who wants to be safe?
Come to the barn dance tomorrow night.
Come on. Come and be with people.
Be with me.
Yeah. All right.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
Let's go.
Keep up, Pin, or Ghost Pony's gonna get you.
Sure, Zoe.
Mia.
What are you still doing here?
Checking what time you're picking me up tomorrow.
- Tomorrow? - For the barn dance, silly.
Uh-oh. Serious face.
Listen, about tomorrow, I was thinking of asking someone else.
I heard Zoe's asking Pin.
Did I say anything about Zoe?
No, I just thought it was funny.
I mean, can you imagine?
Marcus... don't be difficult.
Everyone's expecting us to go together.
Now that Zoe's going with Pin,
- there's really no reason not to... - This isn't about Zoe. It's about you.
You've changed, Mia.
That water thing with Raven the other day, it's not cool.
I'd rather go on my own than go with you.
Oh.
Well... maybe it'll be more fun if we go as a group.
- She's doing it again. - Doing what?
Can't you see it, Susie?
Everything that I've got, Zoe wants.
She's... She's toxic!
What are you gonna do about it?
Give her a taste of her own medicine.
