Not fair.

You know my sweet tooth
7
00:00:26,291 --> 00:00:27,833
can't say no
to a 9:00 a.m. cookie.

00:00:27,917 --> 00:00:29,041
I need to know

No, no, no, Sarah.
It's good.
13
00:00:38,583 --> 00:00:39,708
Just...
14
00:00:39,792 --> 00:00:40,917
maybe less peppermint?
15
00:00:44,875 --> 00:00:46,082
I think I ruined
my tastebuds last night.

00:00:46,166 --> 00:00:47,542
I ate a dozen already.

Don't tell
your dentist boyfriend that.

Oh, periodontist,
and it was just one date.

No sparks?
20
00:00:53,667 --> 00:00:55,249
Oh, no sparks, no butterflies,
21
00:00:55,333 --> 00:00:56,875
no skipped heartbeats.

I'm sure you'll get praise
27

She'll come around eventually.
31

She promoted me
32
00:01:15,583 --> 00:01:16,957
because she said she liked
my vision for things,
33
00:01:17,041 --> 00:01:18,458
but the more time that goes by
34
00:01:18,542 --> 00:01:21,458
the further away this site gets
from actual journalism.
35
00:01:21,542 --> 00:01:23,583
Why don't you just quit
and go freelance?
36
00:01:23,667 --> 00:01:25,625
Pay is good
and I know what to expect.
37
00:01:25,709 --> 00:01:26,833
Why risk that?
38
00:01:26,917 --> 00:01:29,166
Plus, if you left,
you'd miss me too much.
39
00:01:29,250 --> 00:01:30,374
Well, yeah.
40
00:01:30,458 --> 00:01:31,500
That's mainly it.
41
00:01:33,542 --> 00:01:35,166
First off,
just want to say, Kendra,
42
00:01:35,250 --> 00:01:37,041
great regift piece.
43
00:01:37,125 --> 00:01:39,875
So far, it's the highest-clicked
list of the season!
44
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:41,333
Peter, still getting
great traction
45
00:01:41,417 --> 00:01:42,541
on your article from last month
46
00:01:42,625 --> 00:01:45,207
on the development heiress
Sandra Evans.
47
00:01:45,291 --> 00:01:47,416

leads to a thriving business.

49
00:01:48,333 --> 00:01:50,041

50
00:01:50,125 --> 00:01:52,207
Would love to get
a follow-up with her ex,
51
00:01:52,291 --> 00:01:53,875

from having it all?
52
00:01:53,959 --> 00:01:55,875
Apparently,
he has fallen off the map.
53
00:01:55,959 --> 00:01:56,708
Keep looking.
54
00:01:56,792 --> 00:01:58,082
And as far as this month,
55
00:01:58,166 --> 00:01:59,708
our marketing team reports
56
00:01:59,792 --> 00:02:01,124
that the Friday
before Christmas
57
00:02:01,208 --> 00:02:03,708
is the highest online traffic
day of the season,
58
00:02:03,792 --> 00:02:05,291
so we need to get
all our Christmas content
59
00:02:05,375 --> 00:02:06,207
up by then.
60
00:02:06,291 --> 00:02:07,875
That's the 22nd, people!
61
00:02:07,959 --> 00:02:10,666
So, let me hear

Personal, love it!
64
00:02:14,834 --> 00:02:17,833
Celebrity influencer
slash rapper, Zigzag,
65
00:02:17,917 --> 00:02:19,249
is attempting
to set the world record
66
00:02:19,333 --> 00:02:20,708
for largest national toy drive.
67
00:02:20,792 --> 00:02:22,875
How would you make
a listicle of that?
68
00:02:22,959 --> 00:02:25,666
Oh, it would be
more of a human-interest piece,
69
00:02:25,750 --> 00:02:28,333
an introspective
on Zigzag's community relations
70
00:02:28,417 --> 00:02:29,499
and the labor required
71
00:02:29,583 --> 00:02:31,333
to organize
a toy drive of that scale.
72
00:02:31,417 --> 00:02:32,458
I know you're itching
73
00:02:32,542 --> 00:02:34,333
to expand what we publish
here at Quizzer,
74
00:02:34,417 --> 00:02:35,541
but I just don't think
our audience
75
00:02:35,625 --> 00:02:36,875
wants to read about
76
00:02:36,959 --> 00:02:38,875
the ins and outs
of organizing a toy drive.
77
00:02:38,959 --> 00:02:41,166
Now, if Zigzag was doing it
to impress his ex, Carmella,
78
00:02:41,250 --> 00:02:42,207
that would work.
79
00:02:42,291 --> 00:02:45,916
Right, well, then how about...
80
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:47,541
"what kind of elf would you be
in the North Pole?"
81
00:02:47,625 --> 00:02:49,458
Perfect!
Do that one.
82
00:02:49,542 --> 00:02:50,833
And don't worry,
83
00:02:50,917 --> 00:02:52,667
when the right story
comes along, it'll be a go.
84
00:02:54,291 --> 00:02:56,375
All right, everyone, get to it!

[Sarah] Another lunch hour,
another antique market.
86
00:03:01,834 --> 00:03:03,667
Are you sure your mom's ring
isn't with your dad's things?
87
00:03:04,959 --> 00:03:06,124
I think
it may have been misplaced
88
00:03:06,208 --> 00:03:07,583
with the stuff
for the estate sale.
89
00:03:08,792 --> 00:03:10,541
Oh, here.

00:03:10,625 --> 00:03:12,207
What can I do
for you ladies today?
91
00:03:12,291 --> 00:03:13,999
I wanted to take a look
at your watches.
92
00:03:14,083 --> 00:03:15,125
And she will browse your rings.
93
00:03:16,333 --> 00:03:17,583
Oh, the rings
are right up front here,
94
00:03:17,667 --> 00:03:19,625
and the watches are
just that way right there.
95
00:03:19,709 --> 00:03:21,333
Okay.
96
00:03:21,417 --> 00:03:22,124
Would you like to see one?
97
00:03:22,208 --> 00:03:24,041
Actually, um,
98
00:03:24,125 --> 00:03:25,917
have you seen any rings
that look like this one?
99
00:03:27,166 --> 00:03:28,207
Oh...
100
00:03:28,291 --> 00:03:29,541
It was my mom's
engagement ring.
101
00:03:29,625 --> 00:03:30,625
Oh...
102
00:03:30,709 --> 00:03:31,791
She died when I was 17,
103
00:03:31,875 --> 00:03:33,999
and she gave it to my dad
to keep for me,
104
00:03:34,083 --> 00:03:36,333
but after he passed last year,
it was lost.
105
00:03:36,417 --> 00:03:38,291

with a similar cut.

Oh...
109
00:03:51,792 --> 00:03:52,959
My mom's didn't have
an inscription.
110
00:03:54,333 --> 00:03:57,166
"Forever My Christmas Love,
1948."
111
00:04:00,041 --> 00:04:01,291
I wonder who this belonged to.
112
00:04:01,375 --> 00:04:03,957
I feel the same way.
113
00:04:04,041 --> 00:04:05,499
I wonder what the story is
behind it.
114
00:04:05,583 --> 00:04:06,458
What's this?
115
00:04:08,208 --> 00:04:10,791
That is the jeweler's insignia.
116
00:04:10,875 --> 00:04:13,291
A lot of hand-made jewelry
from that time has it.
117
00:04:13,375 --> 00:04:15,333
It's sort of like
an artist's signature.
118
00:04:15,417 --> 00:04:16,416
So this is traceable?
119
00:04:16,500 --> 00:04:17,417
The jeweler is.
120
00:04:19,375 --> 00:04:21,875
Okay, I'm between these two.
121
00:04:21,959 --> 00:04:23,125
Earth to Kendra?
122
00:04:25,083 --> 00:04:26,875
Oh, yeah, um,
that one for sure.
123
00:04:28,041 --> 00:04:28,875
I think I'm going to get it.
124
00:04:28,959 --> 00:04:30,791
I'm sorry, what?
125
00:04:30,875 --> 00:04:32,541
You're going to buy yourself
an engagement ring?
126
00:04:32,625 --> 00:04:34,541
Yes. But not for me,
for the story.
127
00:04:34,625 --> 00:04:35,666
What story?
128
00:04:35,750 --> 00:04:37,875
Who did it belong to?
129
00:04:37,959 --> 00:04:41,708
What was so special
about Christmas in 1948?
130
00:04:41,792 --> 00:04:44,249
How did it end up
parting ways with its owner?
131
00:04:44,333 --> 00:04:45,207
Okay, so for fun?
132
00:04:45,291 --> 00:04:47,875
No, this is it--
133
00:04:47,959 --> 00:04:48,916
the human-interest piece
134
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:49,957
that is perfect
135
00:04:50,041 --> 00:04:51,499
to take Quizzer
to the next level.
136
00:04:51,583 --> 00:04:53,500
What if
there's no story behind it?
137
00:04:55,083 --> 00:04:56,750
If someone found
my mom's ring,
138
00:04:56,834 --> 00:04:58,000
I'd want them to track me down.
139
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,417
Great.
140
00:05:04,500 --> 00:05:07,625
It's pretty,
but I don't think so.
141
00:05:07,709 --> 00:05:09,916
It would be
more of an investigative piece,
142
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:11,458
following me
as I return the ring
143
00:05:11,542 --> 00:05:12,541
to its owner
144
00:05:12,625 --> 00:05:14,291
and uncover
the love story behind it.
145
00:05:14,375 --> 00:05:15,458
I just don't think
there's enough to go off of.
146
00:05:16,959 --> 00:05:18,625
Ever since I found out
my mom's ring was gone,
147
00:05:18,709 --> 00:05:19,916
I've felt like...
148
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:21,999
part of me was missing.
149
00:05:22,083 --> 00:05:23,124
What if someone out there
150
00:05:23,208 --> 00:05:24,957
feels the same way
about this ring?
151
00:05:25,041 --> 00:05:26,041
I think that's something
152
00:05:26,125 --> 00:05:27,041
our readers
would be interested in.
153
00:05:27,125 --> 00:05:29,082
And the Christmas inscription
154
00:05:29,166 --> 00:05:31,249
makes it on theme
for our December posts.
155
00:05:31,333 --> 00:05:32,124
Sorry.
156
00:05:32,208 --> 00:05:33,333
It's a nice idea,
157
00:05:33,417 --> 00:05:34,458
but it feels more like
wishful thinking.
158
00:05:35,625 --> 00:05:37,207
Maybe if I did some digging?
159
00:05:37,291 --> 00:05:39,166
I hope one day
you find your mom's ring,
160
00:05:39,250 --> 00:05:40,249
I really do,
161
00:05:40,333 --> 00:05:41,916
but going on a wild goose chase
162
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:43,625
and hoping there's
a clickable tale attached
163
00:05:43,709 --> 00:05:44,791
just isn't enough for me.
164
00:05:44,875 --> 00:05:45,792
I'm sorry, Kendra.

for a minute, please?

00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:13,999
She did.
183
00:07:14,083 --> 00:07:15,499
Um...
184
00:07:15,583 --> 00:07:17,375
But I am going
to have to prove her wrong.
185
00:07:18,417 --> 00:07:19,291
What about your elf assignment?
186
00:07:19,375 --> 00:07:20,916
Finished it.
187
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:22,082
I did a similar one last year
188
00:07:22,166 --> 00:07:23,541
called "what kind
of reindeer would you be?"
189
00:07:23,625 --> 00:07:24,499
Just sorta modified it.
190
00:07:24,583 --> 00:07:25,916
Oh, right.
191
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:27,833
I was inexplicably a Dasher.
192
00:07:27,917 --> 00:07:28,791
So what's the plan here?
193
00:07:28,875 --> 00:07:29,833
I'm going get
194
00:07:29,917 --> 00:07:31,166
the story on the ring,
195
00:07:31,250 --> 00:07:32,416
write a great piece,
196
00:07:32,500 --> 00:07:33,625
show it to Linda,
197
00:07:33,709 --> 00:07:34,833
change her mind,
198
00:07:34,917 --> 00:07:36,541
and publish it on Quizzer.com,
199
00:07:36,625 --> 00:07:39,166
hopefully forever shifting
the landscape of our site.
200
00:07:39,250 --> 00:07:40,417
That is a lot to process.
201
00:07:41,875 --> 00:07:43,541
Well, look, I haven't taken
a day off in three years.
202
00:07:43,625 --> 00:07:45,499
I have plenty
of personal days saved up.
203
00:07:45,583 --> 00:07:47,499
Manage your hopes.
204
00:07:47,583 --> 00:07:49,708
If it turns out
it's just some ring,
205
00:07:49,792 --> 00:07:50,833
promise me you'll
let this go?
206
00:07:50,917 --> 00:07:52,082
Yeah. Of course.

Hi.
212
00:08:16,875 --> 00:08:18,875
Do you know where
the Pine Grove jewelry store is?
213
00:08:18,959 --> 00:08:20,249
Uh...
214
00:08:20,333 --> 00:08:21,416
Well, Pine Grove doesn't have
a jewelry store,
215
00:08:21,500 --> 00:08:22,625
but the...
216
00:08:22,709 --> 00:08:23,541
the Jones General Store
down the street--
217
00:08:23,625 --> 00:08:24,541
they sell earrings.
218
00:08:24,625 --> 00:08:26,833
Isn't this 415 Main Street?
219
00:08:26,917 --> 00:08:27,625
Yeah, that's right.
220
00:08:27,709 --> 00:08:28,791
415.
221
00:08:28,875 --> 00:08:29,957
It's the bakery.
222
00:08:30,041 --> 00:08:32,166
Well, I see
that it's the bakery,
223
00:08:32,250 --> 00:08:33,750
but it's supposed to be
the jewelry store.
224
00:08:33,834 --> 00:08:36,124
Oh, is that
what it's supposed to be?
225
00:08:36,208 --> 00:08:37,291
Yes.
226
00:08:37,375 --> 00:08:38,583
Well, I'm sorry
227
00:08:38,667 --> 00:08:40,416
our Main Street's
not the way it's supposed to be.
228
00:08:40,500 --> 00:08:41,666
Uh...
229
00:08:41,750 --> 00:08:43,750
You know, I think that
230
00:08:43,834 --> 00:08:45,333
there's a complaint box
around here somewhere.
231
00:08:45,417 --> 00:08:46,374
Don't worry about it.
232
00:08:46,458 --> 00:08:48,708
I'm gonna let you
get back to, um...
233
00:08:48,792 --> 00:08:50,207

234
00:08:50,291 --> 00:08:51,666
but you have been
a great help.
235
00:08:51,750 --> 00:08:52,750
You know, actually,
236
00:08:52,834 --> 00:08:54,082
I'm finished
measuring the sidewalk,
237
00:08:54,166 --> 00:08:55,250

Hi! Yes.

I'm trying to find
the right address,

Well, what are you looking for?

00:09:20,125 --> 00:09:21,499

247
00:09:21,583 --> 00:09:23,625
Ah, well, you've got
the right address,
248
00:09:23,709 --> 00:09:25,000
but you're about
40 years too late.
249
00:09:26,166 --> 00:09:26,999
My grandfather
used to be a jeweler.
250
00:09:27,083 --> 00:09:28,333
This was his shop.
251
00:09:28,417 --> 00:09:31,708
But I didn't get that gene,
hence the bakery.
252
00:09:31,792 --> 00:09:32,875

How about a box?
257
00:09:39,291 --> 00:09:40,541
50% off for new customers.
258
00:09:40,625 --> 00:09:42,458
Oh, no thank you.
259
00:09:42,542 --> 00:09:44,625
I actually tracked down
this address
260
00:09:44,709 --> 00:09:46,875
because I was researching...
261
00:09:46,959 --> 00:09:48,250
where this ring was made.
262
00:09:52,250 --> 00:09:53,374
Huh.
263
00:09:53,458 --> 00:09:54,583
Grandpa did nice work.
264
00:09:54,667 --> 00:09:57,374
I'm a writer
for Quizzer.com
265
00:09:57,458 --> 00:09:59,666
and I wanted to find out
who the ring was made for.
266
00:09:59,750 --> 00:10:01,374
I love their quizzes.
267
00:10:01,458 --> 00:10:03,374
Did you know that,
personality-wise,
268
00:10:03,458 --> 00:10:04,917
I most resemble
the reindeer Prancer?
269
00:10:06,625 --> 00:10:07,417
I could see that.
270
00:10:08,583 --> 00:10:09,750
So the ring?
271
00:10:09,834 --> 00:10:12,458
Unfortunately, I did not take
my wife's advice
272
00:10:12,542 --> 00:10:14,458
and digitize Grandpa's records.
273
00:10:14,542 --> 00:10:15,791
Oh.
274
00:10:15,875 --> 00:10:17,499
But I do have
his old ledger here.
275
00:10:17,583 --> 00:10:18,499
I could check that?
276
00:10:18,583 --> 00:10:20,082
That would be great.
277
00:10:20,166 --> 00:10:21,750

00:10:21,834 --> 00:10:23,000

00:10:32,333 --> 00:10:34,124
Oh, here we go.
281
00:10:34,208 --> 00:10:35,416
Diamond engagement ring.
282
00:10:35,500 --> 00:10:37,249
Ordered by...
283
00:10:37,333 --> 00:10:38,166

284
00:10:39,166 --> 00:10:40,708
Do you know him?
285
00:10:40,792 --> 00:10:43,957
Yeah, he and his wife, Pearl,
used to own the general store.
286
00:10:44,041 --> 00:10:45,416
Unfortunately,
they're both deceased.
287
00:10:45,500 --> 00:10:46,541
Oh.
288
00:10:46,625 --> 00:10:48,207
Is that the store down the road?
289
00:10:48,291 --> 00:10:50,666
Yeah, but it's after 5:00,
290
00:10:50,750 --> 00:10:51,999
so they're probably closed.
291
00:10:52,083 --> 00:10:53,082
Oh.
292
00:10:53,166 --> 00:10:54,333
You know, Pearl's house
293
00:10:54,417 --> 00:10:56,041
is just a couple
of blocks from here,
294
00:10:56,125 --> 00:10:58,124
and her grandson, Michael,
lives there now.
295
00:10:58,208 --> 00:10:59,916
Maybe... Maybe he might know
something about the ring.
296
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:01,957
Great.

in small-space living.
365
00:13:54,417 --> 00:13:55,791
Oh, right.
366
00:13:55,875 --> 00:13:57,207
Although this was
Evans' first venture
367
00:13:57,291 --> 00:13:58,750
outside of her family's
development empire
368
00:13:58,834 --> 00:14:00,499
and Jones
was an unknown architect,
369
00:14:00,583 --> 00:14:01,916
Forbes magazine
370
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:03,499
soon deemed them
the next company to watch.
371
00:14:03,583 --> 00:14:04,791
Eight months ago,
372
00:14:04,875 --> 00:14:06,207
Jones abruptly left the company
373
00:14:06,291 --> 00:14:07,416
and all his shares
374
00:14:07,500 --> 00:14:09,082
after the two
ended their engagement.
375
00:14:09,166 --> 00:14:10,875
Huh.
376
00:14:10,959 --> 00:14:13,416
Seems like tons of sources
have statements from Sandra,
377
00:14:13,500 --> 00:14:15,041
but nothing from Michael.
378
00:14:15,125 --> 00:14:17,374
This interaction is making
so much more sense now.
379
00:14:17,458 --> 00:14:18,750
What are you going to do?
380
00:14:18,834 --> 00:14:19,957
I just need more time
381
00:14:20,041 --> 00:14:21,541
to show him
382
00:14:21,625 --> 00:14:22,583
that I only want to know about
his grandma's ring, that's it.
383
00:14:22,667 --> 00:14:24,458
Good luck.
384
00:14:24,542 --> 00:14:26,708
He seems like
a very private person.
385
00:14:26,792 --> 00:14:27,709
Can I get you anything else?
386
00:14:29,750 --> 00:14:31,916
Actually, yeah.
387
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:33,957
Can I get the address
to your wife's inn?
388
00:14:34,041 --> 00:14:35,583
No problem.
389
00:14:35,667 --> 00:14:36,917
Glad to hear
you'll be staying in town.
390
00:14:38,375 --> 00:14:42,291
[♪]
391
00:14:57,291 --> 00:14:58,625
[ding!]
392
00:15:02,083 --> 00:15:03,291
Good evening.
393
00:15:03,375 --> 00:15:04,750
Hi. I was hoping you had room
here for tonight?
394
00:15:04,834 --> 00:15:06,708
Your husband
pointed me here.
395
00:15:06,792 --> 00:15:07,833
We sure do!
396
00:15:07,917 --> 00:15:09,458
Hi, I'm Cathy.
397
00:15:09,542 --> 00:15:11,333
I'm Kendra.
Nice to meet you.
398
00:15:11,417 --> 00:15:12,499
Are you in town
399
00:15:12,583 --> 00:15:13,541
for the Main Street
Christmas Festival?
400
00:15:13,625 --> 00:15:14,750
Tree lighting is tomorrow!
401
00:15:14,834 --> 00:15:17,666
No, actually, I'm here
402
00:15:17,750 --> 00:15:20,458
researching the origins
of an engagement ring.
403
00:15:20,542 --> 00:15:22,458
Turns out
Paul's grandfather made it.
404
00:15:23,834 --> 00:15:25,875
I found it
at an antique sale in Boston
405
00:15:25,959 --> 00:15:27,957
and I was hoping to write
an article on its backstory
406
00:15:28,041 --> 00:15:29,082
for the website I work for.
407
00:15:29,166 --> 00:15:30,458
Beautiful.
408
00:15:30,542 --> 00:15:32,041
Paul was able to find out
409
00:15:32,125 --> 00:15:33,666
that it was made
for Pearl Jones.
410
00:15:33,750 --> 00:15:35,875
I loved Pearl,
such a sweetheart.
411
00:15:35,959 --> 00:15:37,249
You knew her?
412
00:15:37,333 --> 00:15:39,291
I took over as chairwoman
of the Christmas Festival
413
00:15:39,375 --> 00:15:40,791
from her.
414
00:15:40,875 --> 00:15:41,916
Would you mind if I asked you
some questions about her?
415
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:43,207
Not at all.
416
00:15:43,291 --> 00:15:44,666
Here, let me show you
to your room
417
00:15:44,750 --> 00:15:45,791
so you can get settled in,
418
00:15:45,875 --> 00:15:47,833
and I'll make us some cocoa.
419
00:15:47,917 --> 00:15:49,583
That sounds lovely.
420
00:15:49,667 --> 00:15:50,750
Thank you.
421
00:15:52,959 --> 00:15:56,082
My dad actually proposed
with his grandmother's ring
422
00:15:56,166 --> 00:15:57,458
in front of the Eiffel tower.
423
00:15:57,542 --> 00:15:58,667
Family heirloom.
424
00:16:00,083 --> 00:16:02,875
Knowing it's lost feels like...
425
00:16:02,959 --> 00:16:04,875
I've lost my parents
all over again.
426
00:16:06,125 --> 00:16:07,583
That's why it's become
a habit, really,
427
00:16:07,667 --> 00:16:09,875
to check any antique store
I come across.
428
00:16:09,959 --> 00:16:12,541
But this time,
I found someone else's ring,
429
00:16:12,625 --> 00:16:14,833
and I couldn't help but think,
430
00:16:14,917 --> 00:16:17,875
just maybe someone out there
might be missing it.
431
00:16:17,959 --> 00:16:19,499
I wish it looked
more familiar.
432
00:16:19,583 --> 00:16:21,249
How well did you know Pearl?
433
00:16:21,333 --> 00:16:22,791
I didn't really know Pearl well
434
00:16:22,875 --> 00:16:25,082
until I started helping out
with the Christmas Festival.
435
00:16:25,166 --> 00:16:27,833
You mentioned that before
and I saw the banner downtown.
436
00:16:27,917 --> 00:16:28,916
What is that?
437
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:30,166
Every year
for the past 80 years,
438
00:16:30,250 --> 00:16:32,750
the town hosts events
along the main street.
439
00:16:32,834 --> 00:16:35,166
It leads up
to a big Christmas Eve dance.
440
00:16:35,250 --> 00:16:36,708
Tomorrow kicks it off
441
00:16:36,792 --> 00:16:38,374
with the tree lighting
in the town square.
442
00:16:38,458 --> 00:16:40,333
That sounds so fun.
443
00:16:40,417 --> 00:16:41,499
Growing up,
444
00:16:41,583 --> 00:16:43,124
my parents went all out
every year.
445
00:16:43,208 --> 00:16:44,124
I miss those days.
446
00:16:44,208 --> 00:16:45,709
Then you have to come.
447
00:16:47,834 --> 00:16:48,875
Oh.
448
00:16:48,959 --> 00:16:51,207
Speaking of
the Christmas Eve dance,
449
00:16:51,291 --> 00:16:52,541
I just thought of something
450
00:16:52,625 --> 00:16:53,959
that might be
of interest to you.
451
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:01,458
The Christmas Eve
Decorating Committee
452
00:17:01,542 --> 00:17:02,458
from a few years ago.
453
00:17:02,542 --> 00:17:05,124
Pearl's last one with us.
454
00:17:05,208 --> 00:17:06,541
She looks really happy.
455
00:17:06,625 --> 00:17:08,333
She loved the dance so much.
456
00:17:08,417 --> 00:17:10,791
Apparently, that's where
her and her husband first met.
457
00:17:10,875 --> 00:17:12,208
Really?
458
00:17:13,625 --> 00:17:15,041
Do you know what year?
459
00:17:15,125 --> 00:17:16,082
You should ask her grandson.
460
00:17:16,166 --> 00:17:17,458
He be able to tell you
more about it.
461
00:17:17,542 --> 00:17:19,082
I tried.
462
00:17:19,166 --> 00:17:22,207
Michael made it very clear
he did not want to talk to me.
463
00:17:22,291 --> 00:17:24,291
Try her other grandson, Scott.
464
00:17:24,375 --> 00:17:27,625
He took over running
the family's general store.
465
00:17:27,709 --> 00:17:29,458
He'll be my first stop
in the morning.
466
00:17:31,375 --> 00:17:35,499
[♪]
467
00:17:35,583 --> 00:17:37,291
There we go.
468
00:17:38,417 --> 00:17:39,291
[Kendra] Whoa!
469
00:17:40,792 --> 00:17:41,583
I didn't know anyone was--
470
00:17:43,125 --> 00:17:44,541
It's you again.
471
00:17:44,625 --> 00:17:46,082
[Kendra] Yes, it's me.
472
00:17:46,166 --> 00:17:47,916
Sorry, I didn't see you there.
473
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:49,333
What are you doing here?
474
00:17:49,417 --> 00:17:51,041
I thought
I'd made myself clear.
475
00:17:51,125 --> 00:17:52,957
Well, actually,
I am not here for you.
476
00:17:53,041 --> 00:17:53,999
Okay, good,
477
00:17:54,083 --> 00:17:55,207
because I'm on my way out
478
00:17:55,291 --> 00:17:56,999
and I wouldn't want
to talk to you anyway.
479
00:17:57,083 --> 00:17:58,207
Okay.
480
00:17:58,291 --> 00:17:59,542
- Bye.
- Bye.
481
00:18:14,959 --> 00:18:17,959
[♪]
482
00:18:19,458 --> 00:18:20,333
Good morning!
483
00:18:20,417 --> 00:18:21,499
Hi.
484
00:18:21,583 --> 00:18:22,957
Hi. I was just making
a cup of coffee.
485
00:18:23,041 --> 00:18:24,249
Would you like one?
486
00:18:24,333 --> 00:18:26,833
Oh, yes, please.
Thank you.
487
00:18:26,917 --> 00:18:28,041
Can I help you find anything?
488
00:18:28,125 --> 00:18:29,583
Um, in a way.
489
00:18:29,667 --> 00:18:31,416
I'm from out of town.
490
00:18:31,500 --> 00:18:32,666
My name's Kendra.
491
00:18:32,750 --> 00:18:34,041
Well, it's good
to meet you, Kendra.
492
00:18:34,125 --> 00:18:35,207
Welcome to Pine Grove.
493
00:18:35,291 --> 00:18:36,499
I'm Scott.
This is my wife, Trish.
494
00:18:36,583 --> 00:18:37,957
- [Kendra] Hi.
- Hi.
495
00:18:38,041 --> 00:18:41,709
I write for Quizzer.com,
and I was hoping we could talk.
496
00:18:43,792 --> 00:18:46,041
Look, my brother's business,
is just that,
497
00:18:46,166 --> 00:18:47,207
his business.
498
00:18:47,291 --> 00:18:48,666
We have nothing to say about it.
499
00:18:48,750 --> 00:18:49,833
Oh, no, no.
500
00:18:49,917 --> 00:18:51,041
I'm not here about Michael.
501
00:18:51,125 --> 00:18:53,291
Actually, I found
this ring in Boston,
502
00:18:53,375 --> 00:18:54,875
and I think it belonged
to your grandmother,
503
00:18:54,959 --> 00:18:55,999
and I was wondering
504
00:18:56,083 --> 00:18:58,333
if you had
some more information on it.
505
00:18:58,417 --> 00:19:00,249
What makes you think
this was my grandmother's?
506
00:19:00,333 --> 00:19:01,166
I tracked
the jeweler's insignia
507
00:19:01,250 --> 00:19:03,207
to Pine Grove.
508
00:19:03,291 --> 00:19:04,750
It was made for William,
your grandfather.
509
00:19:07,083 --> 00:19:08,249
Hmm.
510
00:19:08,333 --> 00:19:09,291
I don't recognize it.
511
00:19:09,375 --> 00:19:11,374
So you never saw her wear it?
512
00:19:11,458 --> 00:19:12,625
Not even on special occasions?
513
00:19:12,709 --> 00:19:13,999
No. I don't think so.
514
00:19:14,083 --> 00:19:15,082
Are you sure it was Pearl's?
515
00:19:15,166 --> 00:19:16,166
No.
516
00:19:16,250 --> 00:19:17,416
That's what
I'm trying to confirm.
517
00:19:17,500 --> 00:19:18,333
The description
in the jeweler's ledger
518
00:19:18,417 --> 00:19:19,333
was the same,
519
00:19:19,417 --> 00:19:20,625
but, so far,
520
00:19:20,709 --> 00:19:22,207
no one seems to remember
Pearl having this ring.
521
00:19:22,291 --> 00:19:24,041
Hmm. You asked Michael?
522
00:19:24,125 --> 00:19:25,791
I did.
523
00:19:25,875 --> 00:19:28,791
Um... right before he asked me
to leave his property.
524
00:19:28,875 --> 00:19:30,875
Yeah. He's had
a pretty rough year.
525
00:19:30,959 --> 00:19:31,875
There must be
something we can do
526
00:19:31,959 --> 00:19:32,792
to look into the ring.
527
00:19:34,250 --> 00:19:36,208
I was hoping to maybe
look through some family albums?
528
00:19:38,041 --> 00:19:39,333
Those are all with Michael
at the moment,
529
00:19:39,417 --> 00:19:41,124
and I really don't think
he'd be up for that.
530
00:19:41,208 --> 00:19:42,708
I want you both to know
531
00:19:42,792 --> 00:19:44,541
I didn't realize who Michael was
until I got here.
532
00:19:44,625 --> 00:19:47,166
I'm the editor in chief
at the Pine Grove Gazette.
533
00:19:47,250 --> 00:19:50,124
We have a whole back room
of old newspapers and microfilm,
534
00:19:50,208 --> 00:19:51,750
and the benefit
of being in a small town
535
00:19:51,834 --> 00:19:53,375
is that everything
makes the newspaper.
536
00:19:54,500 --> 00:19:55,583
Maybe you'd like to come look
537
00:19:55,667 --> 00:19:56,416
and see if there's
something helpful there?
538
00:19:56,500 --> 00:19:58,499
Yes, that would be great!
539
00:19:58,583 --> 00:20:00,124
Great. I'm going right now
if you're free?
540
00:20:00,208 --> 00:20:01,708
I am!
541
00:20:01,792 --> 00:20:02,999
Thank you so much.
542
00:20:03,083 --> 00:20:04,000
Of course.
543
00:20:05,166 --> 00:20:06,458
Oh, thanks again
for the coffee.
544
00:20:06,542 --> 00:20:07,208
Yeah, you're welcome.
545
00:20:08,542 --> 00:20:10,082
[Kendra] Yeah.
546
00:20:10,166 --> 00:20:11,250
[Scott] Bye, honey.
547
00:20:14,625 --> 00:20:17,207
[Kendra] I love that Pine Grove
still has a printed newspaper.
548
00:20:17,291 --> 00:20:18,666
Me too.
549
00:20:18,750 --> 00:20:20,374
It was one of the reasons
I moved here after college.
550
00:20:20,458 --> 00:20:21,458
So you're not from here?
551
00:20:21,542 --> 00:20:22,499
No.
552
00:20:22,583 --> 00:20:23,791
Became editor
about 10 years ago,
553
00:20:23,875 --> 00:20:24,833
I met Scott,
554
00:20:24,917 --> 00:20:26,041
and now it's home.
555
00:20:26,125 --> 00:20:28,041
- Did you know Pearl?
- I did.
556
00:20:28,125 --> 00:20:30,666
I was lucky enough to know her
for a few years, actually.
557
00:20:30,750 --> 00:20:31,583
She gave the best hugs.
558
00:20:33,667 --> 00:20:34,875
Do you know if there was ever
559
00:20:34,959 --> 00:20:36,583
a break-in or a robbery
at Pearl's residence?
560
00:20:37,709 --> 00:20:38,500
Not that I know of.
561
00:20:40,458 --> 00:20:42,333
You really are just here
just to investigate the ring.
562
00:20:42,417 --> 00:20:43,999
Ever since I found it,
563
00:20:44,083 --> 00:20:47,709
I've had this overwhelming need
to uncover the story behind it.
564
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:50,207
I've been like that
my whole life.
565
00:20:50,291 --> 00:20:52,957
Always curious
to figure things out.
566
00:20:53,041 --> 00:20:55,583
My dad used to call me
"Nellie" as a nickname.
567
00:20:55,667 --> 00:20:56,750
As in Nellie Bly?
568
00:20:56,834 --> 00:21:00,249
"Energy rightly applied
and directed
569
00:21:00,333 --> 00:21:02,166
will accomplish anything."
570
00:21:02,250 --> 00:21:03,957
Wow.
571
00:21:04,041 --> 00:21:05,416
She's the reason
I went into journalism.
572
00:21:05,500 --> 00:21:06,375
Me too!
573
00:21:08,250 --> 00:21:09,083
Let me show you something.
574
00:21:12,834 --> 00:21:15,041
This is our microfilm reader.
575
00:21:15,125 --> 00:21:16,791
Now, the Gazette's
been in print since 1902
576
00:21:16,875 --> 00:21:18,250
and everything
is organized by year.
577
00:21:19,417 --> 00:21:20,957
The ring inscription
says 1948,
578
00:21:21,041 --> 00:21:22,541
so I'll start around there.
579
00:21:22,625 --> 00:21:25,249
This is more
than I could ask for.
580
00:21:25,333 --> 00:21:26,374
I'll just be down the hall
if you need some help.
581
00:21:26,458 --> 00:21:28,333
Thank you again, so much.
582
00:21:28,417 --> 00:21:29,583
Of course.
583
00:21:29,667 --> 00:21:31,082
I'm just so excited
to see what you find.
584
00:21:31,166 --> 00:21:32,375
I'll let you know.
585
00:21:39,125 --> 00:21:41,291

586
00:21:56,333 --> 00:21:58,458
"War veteran and railroad worker
William Jones
587
00:21:58,542 --> 00:22:01,875

588

589
00:22:04,208 --> 00:22:06,500

592
00:22:24,291 --> 00:22:26,041
[Kendra] Oh, great,
the tree lighting!
593
00:22:30,500 --> 00:22:32,541
Oh!
594
00:22:32,625 --> 00:22:33,875
I mean, now it just feels like
you're following me around.
595
00:22:35,500 --> 00:22:37,124
I promise you, I'm not.
596
00:22:37,208 --> 00:22:38,916
I was just doing some research.
597
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:40,124
Right, on that ring
598
00:22:40,208 --> 00:22:41,500
that you claim
belonged to my grandmother.
599
00:22:42,542 --> 00:22:44,207
Um...
600
00:22:44,291 --> 00:22:45,291
not a claim anymore.
601
00:22:51,500 --> 00:22:53,124
I've never seen
this picture before.
602
00:22:53,208 --> 00:22:54,791
[Kendra]
They made a cute couple.
603
00:22:54,875 --> 00:22:57,374
And see?
604
00:22:57,458 --> 00:22:58,542
The ring.
605
00:23:03,542 --> 00:23:04,666
Where did you say
you found the ring again?
606
00:23:04,750 --> 00:23:06,082
Antique sale in Boston.
607
00:23:06,166 --> 00:23:08,708
How'd it wind up in Boston?
608
00:23:08,792 --> 00:23:09,959
That's what I want to know.
609
00:23:11,083 --> 00:23:13,416
They seem like they were
very much in love.
610
00:23:13,500 --> 00:23:14,750
You know, after he died,
611
00:23:14,834 --> 00:23:16,333
she'd go on and on
about how great a man he was.
612
00:23:18,125 --> 00:23:18,999
I mean, maybe it was stolen?
613
00:23:19,083 --> 00:23:20,082
Maybe.
614
00:23:20,166 --> 00:23:21,207
I sometimes wonder
615
00:23:21,291 --> 00:23:22,583
if that's what happened
to my mom's.
616
00:23:22,667 --> 00:23:25,208
I was searching for her ring
when I found this one.
617
00:23:26,375 --> 00:23:27,916
Kendra!
You left your laptop.
618
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:29,375
Oh, you're a life saver.
619
00:23:31,250 --> 00:23:32,166
Thank you so much.
620
00:23:32,250 --> 00:23:33,708
- Michael, hey.
- Hey.
621
00:23:33,792 --> 00:23:35,082
Did Kendra show you
what she found?
622
00:23:35,166 --> 00:23:37,249
Uh, yeah, she did.
623
00:23:37,333 --> 00:23:38,999
So, how's the set-up coming?
624
00:23:39,083 --> 00:23:40,333
It's getting there.
625
00:23:40,417 --> 00:23:42,416
The newspaper sponsors
the Main Street Festival,
626
00:23:42,500 --> 00:23:43,708
so I wrangled
this builder extraordinaire
627
00:23:43,792 --> 00:23:44,666
to set up the booths.
628
00:23:44,750 --> 00:23:45,666
Oh!
629
00:23:45,750 --> 00:23:47,666
I am happy
to put my skills to use.
630
00:23:47,750 --> 00:23:48,957
The best architects
are the ones
631
00:23:49,041 --> 00:23:50,082
who know how to build
with their own two hands.
632
00:23:50,166 --> 00:23:51,374
Do you have a firm
here in Pine Grove?
633
00:23:51,458 --> 00:23:53,499
Uh, no.
No, I don't.
634
00:23:53,583 --> 00:23:55,041
Well, it's something
to consider.
635
00:23:55,125 --> 00:23:56,082
You know what,
636
00:23:56,166 --> 00:23:57,124
I haven't really decided
637
00:23:57,208 --> 00:23:58,082
what my future
business plans are,
638
00:23:58,166 --> 00:23:59,207
but in the time being,
639
00:23:59,291 --> 00:24:00,999
I should probably
get back to these booths.
640
00:24:01,083 --> 00:24:03,207
From everything
I've read and heard,
641
00:24:03,291 --> 00:24:04,916
the Pine Grove
Christmas Festival
642
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:06,374
seems like the place to be.
643
00:24:06,458 --> 00:24:07,583
[Trish] So you'll come?
644
00:24:07,667 --> 00:24:09,166
Um, sugary treats,
645
00:24:09,250 --> 00:24:10,207
Christmas-tree lightings,
646
00:24:10,291 --> 00:24:11,791
a chance to ask around
about Pearl?
647
00:24:11,875 --> 00:24:12,750
Oh, I'll be there.
648
00:24:12,834 --> 00:24:14,249
Great!
649
00:24:14,333 --> 00:24:15,416
Actually, if you need
a hand with anything,
650
00:24:15,500 --> 00:24:16,875
I'd love to help out.
651
00:24:16,959 --> 00:24:18,166
It's just been me
the past couple of years,
652
00:24:18,250 --> 00:24:19,207
so it's been a while
653
00:24:19,291 --> 00:24:20,875
since I've had
a proper Christmas.
654
00:24:20,959 --> 00:24:22,207
We would love that!
655
00:24:22,291 --> 00:24:23,291
I'll go get the sign-up sheet.
656
00:24:23,375 --> 00:24:24,500
- Okay.
- Okay.
657
00:24:33,208 --> 00:24:34,583
[Sarah] I've gotten up
to talk to you twice now
658
00:24:34,667 --> 00:24:36,750
before remembering
you're not here today.
659
00:24:36,834 --> 00:24:37,833
I miss you, too.
660
00:24:37,917 --> 00:24:39,374
Find anything out?
661
00:24:39,458 --> 00:24:41,124
I found out
where they got engaged,
662
00:24:41,208 --> 00:24:42,583
when they got engaged.
663
00:24:42,667 --> 00:24:44,374
I know that no one remembers
Pearl having the ring,
664
00:24:44,458 --> 00:24:45,499
but...
665
00:24:45,583 --> 00:24:48,625
she is pictured
right here wearing it.
666
00:24:49,750 --> 00:24:50,750
And Michael Jones?
667
00:24:50,834 --> 00:24:51,833
Any luck with him?
668
00:24:51,917 --> 00:24:53,834
I think he's slowly
coming around.
669
00:24:55,250 --> 00:24:56,541
Michael Jones?
670
00:24:56,625 --> 00:24:58,708
Development heiress
Sandra Evans' ex, Michael Jones?
671
00:24:58,792 --> 00:25:00,666
Hi, Linda.
672
00:25:00,750 --> 00:25:02,791
Well, I hope you're enjoying
your personal days
673
00:25:02,875 --> 00:25:04,541
because we need you
back here pronto
674
00:25:04,625 --> 00:25:05,999
for a list
of the most popular names
675
00:25:06,083 --> 00:25:09,041
given to babies
born in December.
676
00:25:09,125 --> 00:25:10,541
Right. I'll be back tomorrow.
677
00:25:10,625 --> 00:25:12,416
I was just doing
one last thing before I--
678
00:25:12,500 --> 00:25:13,750
Where are you?
679
00:25:13,834 --> 00:25:15,041
Is that a painting of a fish?
680
00:25:16,375 --> 00:25:18,166
Um, actually,
I'm in Pine Grove.
681
00:25:18,250 --> 00:25:20,166
Doing what?
682
00:25:20,250 --> 00:25:22,416
I traced that ring,
683
00:25:22,500 --> 00:25:24,124
and it turns out
it was made right here.
684
00:25:24,208 --> 00:25:26,374
You are one stubborn writer,
you know that?
685
00:25:26,458 --> 00:25:27,374
Spending your days off
686
00:25:27,458 --> 00:25:28,750
researching a story
I said no to.
687
00:25:30,250 --> 00:25:31,750
So, have you solved
the great ring mystery?
688
00:25:31,834 --> 00:25:34,041
Not yet, but getting traction.
689
00:25:34,125 --> 00:25:35,833
And how does Michael Jones
play into all of this?
690
00:25:35,917 --> 00:25:37,082
Funny coincidence,
691
00:25:37,166 --> 00:25:38,500
the ring belonged
to his grandmother.
692
00:25:39,792 --> 00:25:40,667
Have you interviewed him?
693
00:25:41,667 --> 00:25:43,499
Not officially, no.
694
00:25:43,583 --> 00:25:45,374
You know what?
695
00:25:45,458 --> 00:25:47,041
I should have trusted
your instincts with this ring
696
00:25:47,125 --> 00:25:48,041
from the start.
697
00:25:48,125 --> 00:25:49,625
Really?
698
00:25:49,709 --> 00:25:51,875
Yeah, I think
there's a story there.
699
00:25:51,959 --> 00:25:53,499
So...
700
00:25:53,583 --> 00:25:55,082
I can keep
looking into things here?
701
00:25:55,166 --> 00:25:57,082
Get as much information
as you can.
702
00:25:57,166 --> 00:25:58,124
Stay a few days.
703
00:25:58,208 --> 00:25:59,374
Quizzer will pick up the tab.
704
00:25:59,458 --> 00:26:01,333
I appreciate that.
705
00:26:01,417 --> 00:26:03,333
Just find out everything
about the family.
706
00:26:03,417 --> 00:26:04,625
And the ring.
707
00:26:04,709 --> 00:26:05,583
Of course.
708
00:26:05,667 --> 00:26:07,082
Broken engagements, lost rings,
709
00:26:07,166 --> 00:26:08,166
perhaps a parallel
710
00:26:08,250 --> 00:26:09,916
holiday-heartbreak storyline?
711
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:13,249
Well, I'm not sure
if that's the exact angle,
712
00:26:13,333 --> 00:26:14,666
but I'll find out
the whole story.
713
00:26:14,750 --> 00:26:16,082
But whatever you find,
make it fit,
714
00:26:16,166 --> 00:26:18,000
and remember, I need it
by midnight Thursday.
715
00:26:20,750 --> 00:26:21,750
At least now Linda's on board.
716
00:26:21,834 --> 00:26:23,166
Well, she seemed to perk up
717
00:26:23,250 --> 00:26:25,583
when I mentioned the ring's
connection to Michael.
718
00:26:25,667 --> 00:26:27,416
If that's what it takes
to get her to back you,
719
00:26:27,500 --> 00:26:29,708
then just maybe mention him
in a sentence or two?
720
00:26:29,792 --> 00:26:32,291
Or...
721
00:26:32,375 --> 00:26:34,500
I'll just have to show Linda
more what I had in mind.
722
00:26:36,166 --> 00:26:37,291
See ya.
723
00:26:40,125 --> 00:26:41,458
Hmm.

725
00:26:48,542 --> 00:26:50,250
Merry Christmas.
726
00:26:51,709 --> 00:26:54,499
Oh, everything looks so good.
727
00:26:54,583 --> 00:26:55,959
Please, take one on us.
728
00:26:57,583 --> 00:26:58,625
Which one?
729
00:26:58,709 --> 00:27:01,291
Mini trifle cup.
Hands-down.
730
00:27:02,709 --> 00:27:03,791
Coming right up.
731
00:27:03,875 --> 00:27:05,625
Michael, the booth
looks amazing this year.
732
00:27:05,709 --> 00:27:07,166
Good. I'm glad I could help.
733
00:27:07,250 --> 00:27:09,999
Actually, while you still have
your toolbox on you,
734
00:27:10,083 --> 00:27:11,458
do you mind hanging
the extra garland
735
00:27:11,542 --> 00:27:12,666
around the stage platform?
736
00:27:12,750 --> 00:27:13,583
It just looks a little bland.
737
00:27:13,667 --> 00:27:14,666
Say no more.
738
00:27:14,750 --> 00:27:15,916
Paul, do you want
to give me a hand?
739
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,750
Sorry, I have to get
more snowman eclairs.
740
00:27:18,834 --> 00:27:19,750
I can help you.
741
00:27:21,041 --> 00:27:22,750
Uh, yeah, okay. Sure.
742
00:27:24,667 --> 00:27:25,583
One for the road?
743
00:27:29,500 --> 00:27:31,000
Oh.
744
00:27:33,333 --> 00:27:35,000
Oh!
745
00:27:36,750 --> 00:27:38,499
So, when you were
measuring the sidewalks,
746
00:27:38,583 --> 00:27:41,041
it was to help you
set up for all this?
747
00:27:41,125 --> 00:27:42,041
Yeah.
748
00:27:42,125 --> 00:27:43,625
Well, it looks great.
749
00:27:45,333 --> 00:27:46,833
I can't tell
if you're mocking me.
750
00:27:46,917 --> 00:27:48,250
No, I'm serious.
751
00:27:48,375 --> 00:27:50,166
It's beautiful.
752
00:27:50,250 --> 00:27:52,291
My grandma served
753
00:27:52,375 --> 00:27:53,583
on the town's
Christmas committee,
754
00:27:53,667 --> 00:27:54,999
every single year--
755
00:27:55,083 --> 00:27:56,791
the group that puts together
the Main Street Festival.
756
00:27:56,875 --> 00:27:59,291
You should have seen the store
back in those days.
757
00:27:59,375 --> 00:28:02,041
I mean, people would come in
from all over.
758
00:28:03,625 --> 00:28:04,750
She always volunteered
me and Scott,
759
00:28:04,834 --> 00:28:06,041
so...
760
00:28:06,125 --> 00:28:07,166
helping out, it just--
761
00:28:07,250 --> 00:28:08,583
it's...
762
00:28:08,667 --> 00:28:10,499
just a way for me
to feel connected to her.
763
00:28:10,583 --> 00:28:12,041
How come there's really not
764
00:28:12,125 --> 00:28:13,207
that much decoration
at the store now?
765
00:28:13,291 --> 00:28:14,750
That's Scott's jurisdiction.
766
00:28:14,834 --> 00:28:16,541
I mean, we both
inherited the store,
767
00:28:16,625 --> 00:28:17,916
it's just...
768
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,041
after I moved to New York,
769
00:28:20,125 --> 00:28:21,041
it became his thing.
770
00:28:22,625 --> 00:28:23,875
I don't know.
771
00:28:23,959 --> 00:28:24,708
I haven't really been home
for a few Christmases,
772
00:28:24,792 --> 00:28:25,833
so I wouldn't feel right
773
00:28:25,917 --> 00:28:26,917
telling him what to do
with the place.
774
00:28:28,875 --> 00:28:30,916
And it seems like
Pearl's Christmas shoes
775
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:32,082
would be hard to fill.
776
00:28:32,166 --> 00:28:34,750
If this town had crowned
a Christmas queen,
777
00:28:34,834 --> 00:28:36,583
it would have been grandma.
778
00:28:36,667 --> 00:28:37,750
What was her favorite part?
779
00:28:37,834 --> 00:28:39,207
Oh, hands-down,
the Christmas Eve Dance.
780
00:28:39,291 --> 00:28:40,708
Where she met your grandfather.
781
00:28:40,792 --> 00:28:41,666
That's right. Yeah.
782
00:28:41,750 --> 00:28:42,667
Pass me the--
783
00:28:45,792 --> 00:28:47,583
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
784
00:28:51,583 --> 00:28:52,959
You seem more at ease
when you're working.
785
00:28:54,917 --> 00:28:57,833
Well, you know, manual labor
was always my forte.
786
00:28:57,917 --> 00:28:59,583
I just never really got around
to doing much of it in New York.
787
00:28:59,667 --> 00:29:00,708
It's rare that you see
788
00:29:00,792 --> 00:29:02,666
architects
actually doing the building.
789
00:29:02,750 --> 00:29:04,291
Normally, we're expected
to pose in hard hats
790
00:29:04,375 --> 00:29:05,957
on magazine covers.
791
00:29:06,041 --> 00:29:07,499
I have a hard time
seeing you modeling.
792
00:29:07,583 --> 00:29:08,542
I'm gonna take that
as a compliment.
793
00:29:10,125 --> 00:29:10,999
So...
794
00:29:11,083 --> 00:29:12,499
So.
795
00:29:12,583 --> 00:29:13,750
What were Pearl and William
like together?
796
00:29:13,834 --> 00:29:15,291
You don't give up, do you?
797
00:29:15,375 --> 00:29:17,666
No.
798
00:29:17,750 --> 00:29:20,207
I was about 10
when my grandfather died,
799
00:29:20,291 --> 00:29:21,458
so I don't really have
800
00:29:21,542 --> 00:29:23,249
too many memories
of the two of them together,
801
00:29:23,333 --> 00:29:25,124
but from
all the stories I've heard
802
00:29:25,208 --> 00:29:27,708
and the pictures I've seen,
803
00:29:27,792 --> 00:29:30,917
they seem like two people
who were very much in love.
804
00:29:32,667 --> 00:29:35,333
But it's hard growing up
with that as a measuring stick.
805
00:29:35,417 --> 00:29:38,124
I mean, my parents were...
806
00:29:38,208 --> 00:29:40,166
the perfect example
of soulmates.
807
00:29:40,250 --> 00:29:41,833
- They made it look easy?
- Yes.
808
00:29:41,917 --> 00:29:43,833
They set some
pretty high standards
809
00:29:43,917 --> 00:29:47,124
that, um...
810
00:29:47,208 --> 00:29:48,625
I still seem to be chasing.
811
00:29:48,709 --> 00:29:50,083
If only we knew their secrets.
812
00:29:55,875 --> 00:29:57,207
I'd say the garland
looks pretty good.
813
00:29:57,291 --> 00:29:59,291
I'm gonna focus on the speakers
and the microphones,
814
00:29:59,375 --> 00:30:00,875
see if I can get them ready
before the countdown starts.
815
00:30:00,959 --> 00:30:01,999
Okay.
816
00:30:02,083 --> 00:30:04,041
And, um,
that roasted-chestnut booth
817
00:30:04,125 --> 00:30:06,625
has been calling my name
all night.
818
00:30:06,709 --> 00:30:07,791
All right.
819
00:30:07,875 --> 00:30:09,249
Well, listen,
thank you for your help.
820
00:30:09,333 --> 00:30:11,791
Thanks for actually
letting me ask you a question
821
00:30:11,875 --> 00:30:13,249
without telling me to get lost.
822
00:30:13,333 --> 00:30:14,916
- All right.
- See ya.
823
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:16,000
Bye.
824
00:30:21,458 --> 00:30:22,541
Mic hooked up
for the countdown?
825
00:30:22,625 --> 00:30:23,666
Just about.
826
00:30:23,750 --> 00:30:26,082
You and Kendra
seem to be getting along.
827
00:30:26,166 --> 00:30:27,082
Thank you so much.
828
00:30:27,166 --> 00:30:28,291
Yeah.
829
00:30:28,375 --> 00:30:29,249
She... she gave me a hand.
830
00:30:29,333 --> 00:30:30,750
She seems nice.
831
00:30:31,875 --> 00:30:32,666
She is.
832
00:30:32,750 --> 00:30:34,625
It's...
833
00:30:34,709 --> 00:30:36,207
What?
834
00:30:36,291 --> 00:30:37,291
Part of me can't help but think
835
00:30:37,375 --> 00:30:38,625
it's one big ruse
836
00:30:38,709 --> 00:30:39,499
to get the scoop
on my break-up with Sandra.
837
00:30:39,583 --> 00:30:41,833
She did find Pearl's ring,
838
00:30:41,917 --> 00:30:43,541
and she drove all the way here
to look into it.
839
00:30:43,625 --> 00:30:45,207
I don't know,
that seems genuine to me.
840
00:30:45,291 --> 00:30:46,666
[Scott] Look, I know
841
00:30:46,750 --> 00:30:47,750
you don't like to talk about
what happened in New York,
842
00:30:47,834 --> 00:30:48,875
but I hope you know
843
00:30:48,959 --> 00:30:51,333
we're here for you
if you want to.
844
00:30:51,417 --> 00:30:52,875
All you need to know
845
00:30:52,959 --> 00:30:55,999
is that I fell
for the wrong person...
846
00:30:56,083 --> 00:30:57,249
and I'm not eager
to do that again.
847
00:30:57,333 --> 00:30:58,541
We want you to know
848
00:30:58,625 --> 00:30:59,709
that we think
it's possible to trust again.
849
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:04,374
Maybe try showing her
some of grandma's things?
850
00:31:04,458 --> 00:31:06,667
Let her prove she's here
for the right reasons.
851
00:31:09,542 --> 00:31:10,834
Merry Christmas.
852
00:31:13,667 --> 00:31:14,875
So, ever since
we've parted ways,
853
00:31:14,959 --> 00:31:16,750
you've just been going around,
854
00:31:16,834 --> 00:31:19,625
asking strangers
about my grandparents?
855
00:31:19,709 --> 00:31:20,708
Pretty much.
856
00:31:20,792 --> 00:31:22,957
Mrs. Katz was just telling me
857
00:31:23,041 --> 00:31:24,416
that Pearl was
the three-time winner
858
00:31:24,500 --> 00:31:26,249
of the Fourth of July
Hot Dog Eating Contest.
859
00:31:26,333 --> 00:31:27,625
Actually, she won four times.
860
00:31:27,709 --> 00:31:29,041
Impressive.
861
00:31:29,125 --> 00:31:30,374
She was an impressive woman.
862
00:31:30,458 --> 00:31:31,583
That's what I'm gathering.
863
00:31:33,125 --> 00:31:34,291
[Trish] Hello, everyone!
864
00:31:34,375 --> 00:31:37,124
[Kendra] They're starting.
Come on.
865
00:31:37,208 --> 00:31:38,416
Welcome to
the Pine Grove Gazette's
866
00:31:38,500 --> 00:31:40,541
annual Christmas-Tree-lighting
ceremony.
867
00:31:40,625 --> 00:31:42,542
[applause]
868
00:31:45,458 --> 00:31:47,124
Now, a very special thanks
869
00:31:47,208 --> 00:31:48,833
goes to
the Christmas Festival Committee
870
00:31:48,917 --> 00:31:50,750
and everyone here
who helped set this up.
871
00:31:50,834 --> 00:31:53,041
[applause]
872
00:31:56,875 --> 00:31:59,041
And now
for the very best part,
873
00:31:59,125 --> 00:32:01,041
I want to hear you
all count along loudly with me.
874
00:32:01,125 --> 00:32:02,041
Ready?
875
00:32:03,500 --> 00:32:04,374
10...
876
00:32:04,458 --> 00:32:05,291
9...
877
00:32:05,375 --> 00:32:06,916
8... 7...
878
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:08,833
6... 5...
879
00:32:08,917 --> 00:32:09,875
4...
880
00:32:09,959 --> 00:32:11,625
3, 2...
881
00:32:11,709 --> 00:32:13,291
1!
882
00:32:13,375 --> 00:32:14,667
[applause and cheering]
883
00:32:19,250 --> 00:32:20,917
This place is so special.
884
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:29,207
Look, if you want
to come by tomorrow,
885
00:32:29,291 --> 00:32:30,750
I could show you
some of my grandparents' things.
886
00:32:32,250 --> 00:32:34,708
I mean, it might be useful,
you know.
887
00:32:34,792 --> 00:32:36,041
For the story.
888
00:32:37,291 --> 00:32:39,166
That would be wonderful.
889
00:32:39,250 --> 00:32:40,625
Thank you.
890
00:32:40,709 --> 00:32:42,583
- Sure.
- Okay.
891
00:32:42,667 --> 00:32:43,875
Okay.
892
00:32:43,959 --> 00:32:45,916
I'll see you tomorrow.
893
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:46,875
Great.
894
00:32:51,166 --> 00:32:55,583
[♪]
895
00:32:59,750 --> 00:33:01,333
[saw whirring]
896
00:33:07,500 --> 00:33:08,499
I hope I'm not too early.
897
00:33:08,583 --> 00:33:10,249
No, you're good.
898
00:33:10,333 --> 00:33:11,625
I...
899
00:33:11,709 --> 00:33:12,957
was just trying to finish
updating the back porch
900
00:33:13,041 --> 00:33:14,000
before another snow storm.
901
00:33:16,375 --> 00:33:17,583
What's under that blanket?
902
00:33:17,667 --> 00:33:20,333
That is actually
my grandfather's old car.
903
00:33:21,709 --> 00:33:22,708
It stopped running
before I was born,
904
00:33:22,792 --> 00:33:23,957
but my grandmother kept it.
905
00:33:24,041 --> 00:33:25,916
I've been tinkering with it
here and there,
906
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:27,417
trying to get it going again.
907
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:29,917
Wow!
908
00:33:32,458 --> 00:33:33,416
A '51 Chevy Deluxe?
909
00:33:33,500 --> 00:33:35,458
Yeah. You know your cars.
910
00:33:35,542 --> 00:33:38,499
It's that whole
mid-century Christmas era.
911
00:33:38,583 --> 00:33:41,541
I've always been obsessed
with anything related to it.
912
00:33:41,625 --> 00:33:42,666
I think it started
913
00:33:42,750 --> 00:33:44,458
because all my best
Christmas memories
914
00:33:44,542 --> 00:33:46,083
were inspired
by that time period.
915
00:33:47,250 --> 00:33:48,625
Listening to Nat King Cole
916
00:33:48,709 --> 00:33:50,124
while decorating our tree
917
00:33:50,208 --> 00:33:53,166
with those old-school
"Shiny Brite" bulb ornaments.
918
00:33:53,250 --> 00:33:55,416
I love Nat King Cole.
919
00:33:55,500 --> 00:33:56,708
And my dad inherited
920
00:33:56,792 --> 00:33:58,082
my grandfather's collection
921
00:33:58,166 --> 00:34:00,416
of these comic books
called the Christmas Almanacs.
922
00:34:00,500 --> 00:34:01,583
I loved flipping through them,
923
00:34:01,667 --> 00:34:02,750
not for the stories,
924
00:34:02,834 --> 00:34:04,458
but for the ads inside
925
00:34:04,542 --> 00:34:06,750
depicting
the picture-perfect Christmas.
926
00:34:08,125 --> 00:34:09,207
I get it.
927
00:34:09,291 --> 00:34:10,833
It's like...
928
00:34:10,917 --> 00:34:13,291
It's like a feeling of nostalgia
for a time we've never been to.
929
00:34:13,375 --> 00:34:14,957
Exactly.
930
00:34:15,041 --> 00:34:16,791
Yeah.
931
00:34:16,875 --> 00:34:18,833
Maybe that's why I was so drawn
to Pearl's ring.
932
00:34:18,917 --> 00:34:20,792
In that case,
shall we go inside?
933
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:23,499
Because there is
a bunch of stuff in the attic
934
00:34:23,583 --> 00:34:25,959
that I think you are going to be
very interested in.
935
00:34:27,875 --> 00:34:28,791
Okay.
936
00:34:28,875 --> 00:34:30,291
Thank you.
937
00:34:30,375 --> 00:34:31,333
It's mostly the same
938
00:34:31,417 --> 00:34:33,833
as when my grandmother
lived here.
939
00:34:33,917 --> 00:34:35,625
You know,
minus the Christmas decorations,
940
00:34:35,709 --> 00:34:37,166
obviously that's all me.
941
00:34:37,250 --> 00:34:38,499
I just--
942
00:34:38,583 --> 00:34:39,999
I haven't had the heart
to take anything down yet,
943
00:34:40,083 --> 00:34:42,041
plus...
944
00:34:42,125 --> 00:34:43,499
you know, I don't know
how long I'm staying.
945
00:34:43,583 --> 00:34:44,666
Did you grow up here?
946
00:34:44,750 --> 00:34:45,709
Yeah.
947
00:34:48,875 --> 00:34:52,374
Our parents died in an accident
when we were very little,
948
00:34:52,458 --> 00:34:53,666
so we came to live here.
949
00:34:53,750 --> 00:34:54,999
After Grandpa died,
950
00:34:55,083 --> 00:34:57,625
it was just Pearl
and the two of us, so.
951
00:34:57,709 --> 00:34:59,458
That's a lot to take on.
952
00:35:00,750 --> 00:35:01,917
She didn't think
twice about it.
953
00:35:04,375 --> 00:35:07,999
I love the old-school
Greek-revival architecture.
954
00:35:08,083 --> 00:35:10,666
Talk about being transported
back in time.
955
00:35:10,750 --> 00:35:13,041
[Michael] Well, actually,
it's called Colonial.
956
00:35:14,875 --> 00:35:16,666
Because it was built
in the 1890s.
957
00:35:16,750 --> 00:35:18,666
I guess growing up
in a house like this
958
00:35:18,750 --> 00:35:21,207
really fueled
your passion for design.
959
00:35:21,291 --> 00:35:22,374
That's funny,
960
00:35:22,458 --> 00:35:23,249
you know,
I never thought of it that way,
961
00:35:23,333 --> 00:35:24,499
but, yeah, you're right.
962
00:35:24,583 --> 00:35:25,750
Plus, Grandpa was super handy.
963
00:35:25,834 --> 00:35:27,666
In fact, he built
that whole Christmas village
964
00:35:27,750 --> 00:35:28,792
up on the fireplace.
965
00:35:33,875 --> 00:35:35,709
Oh, the detail is amazing.
966
00:35:37,667 --> 00:35:38,959
It's like he shrunk
a whole town.
967
00:35:40,291 --> 00:35:41,666
Wow.
968
00:35:41,750 --> 00:35:43,208
Look at the school.
969
00:35:46,500 --> 00:35:48,333
Wow, I don't think
I've ever seen an attic
970
00:35:48,417 --> 00:35:49,667
so beautifully lit.
971
00:35:50,959 --> 00:35:51,916
Pearl made sure
there was a touch of Christmas
972
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:52,959
all year round.
973
00:35:55,125 --> 00:35:56,416
You know, Scott and I
974
00:35:56,500 --> 00:35:57,916
haven't really had a chance
to go through all these.
975
00:35:58,000 --> 00:35:59,041
We've been so busy
976
00:35:59,125 --> 00:36:00,291
trying to get the store
ready to sell.
977
00:36:00,375 --> 00:36:02,416
Feel free to take a look around.
978
00:36:02,500 --> 00:36:03,834
- Thanks.
- You're welcome.
979
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:07,875
Oh...
980
00:36:10,208 --> 00:36:11,458
What's this?
981
00:36:13,542 --> 00:36:15,499
That is our old dress-up chest.
982
00:36:15,583 --> 00:36:16,875
Oh...
983
00:36:20,333 --> 00:36:21,750
It seems so much smaller.
984
00:36:22,917 --> 00:36:24,666
- I'll show you.
- Okay.
985
00:36:24,750 --> 00:36:25,875
- May I?
- Yeah.
986
00:36:27,166 --> 00:36:29,374
Grandma used to make
all our costumes.
987
00:36:29,458 --> 00:36:30,333
Wow. Okay.
988
00:36:32,542 --> 00:36:33,708
This is from
our school Christmas play.
989
00:36:33,792 --> 00:36:35,166
You played a reindeer?
990
00:36:35,250 --> 00:36:36,625
Comet to be exact.
991
00:36:36,709 --> 00:36:39,124
I would have pegged you
more as a Blitzen.
992
00:36:39,208 --> 00:36:40,875
Okay, that's really weird
993
00:36:40,959 --> 00:36:42,207
because I actually took
a quiz online one time
994
00:36:42,291 --> 00:36:43,041
that said I was
more of a Blitzen.
995
00:36:44,208 --> 00:36:45,041
What?
996
00:36:45,125 --> 00:36:46,458
I wrote that quiz.
997
00:36:46,542 --> 00:36:47,458
Really?
998
00:36:47,542 --> 00:36:48,583
Mm-hmm.
999
00:36:48,667 --> 00:36:49,750
Because that feels
very different to me
1000
00:36:49,834 --> 00:36:51,375
from investigating
the origins of a ring.
1001
00:36:52,875 --> 00:36:56,082
Well, lists and quizzes
are Quizzer's bread and butter.
1002
00:36:56,166 --> 00:37:00,708
My hope with doing this article
is to expand its horizons,
1003
00:37:00,792 --> 00:37:03,666
focus on
more substantive pieces.
1004
00:37:03,750 --> 00:37:05,166
- I like that.
- It's risky, though.
1005
00:37:05,250 --> 00:37:07,041
If this fails,
1006
00:37:07,125 --> 00:37:08,625
I'll be back to writing
"which tree topper are you"
1007
00:37:08,709 --> 00:37:09,833
full time.
1008
00:37:09,917 --> 00:37:11,666
How did you end up
at Quizzer to begin with?
1009
00:37:11,750 --> 00:37:12,957
Well, it turns out
1010
00:37:13,041 --> 00:37:15,291
journalism jobs
are hard to come by.
1011
00:37:15,375 --> 00:37:16,333
Quizzer was one of
the only places hiring
1012
00:37:16,417 --> 00:37:17,374
when I got out of school.
1013
00:37:17,458 --> 00:37:18,750
Have you thought about leaving?
1014
00:37:18,834 --> 00:37:19,875
I've gotten comfortable there.
1015
00:37:19,959 --> 00:37:21,166
The pay is great,
1016
00:37:21,250 --> 00:37:22,999
and, oddly enough,
1017
00:37:23,083 --> 00:37:25,458
I'm good at writing quizzes
about elves and reindeers.
1018
00:37:27,917 --> 00:37:28,916
Even after I graduated
1019
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:30,291
from Cornell's
architecture program,
1020
00:37:30,375 --> 00:37:31,458
I ended up spending six years
1021
00:37:31,542 --> 00:37:34,499
working as an assistant
at a design firm.
1022
00:37:34,583 --> 00:37:35,708
They kept promising
this promotion.
1023
00:37:35,792 --> 00:37:36,791
It never came.
1024
00:37:36,875 --> 00:37:39,124
So, one day, I just woke up,
1025
00:37:39,208 --> 00:37:40,708
and that was it,
I'd had enough.
1026
00:37:40,792 --> 00:37:41,666
I walked away.
1027
00:37:41,750 --> 00:37:42,875
Wow.
1028
00:37:42,959 --> 00:37:44,166
I started my own company.
1029
00:37:44,250 --> 00:37:46,916
That sounds freeing.
1030
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:49,082
What I'm trying to say is that,
I mean, you could do that.
1031
00:37:49,166 --> 00:37:51,708
Right? You could start
your own online magazine,
1032
00:37:51,792 --> 00:37:54,207
you could focus on the stories
that you want to write.
1033
00:37:54,291 --> 00:37:56,208
Talk about taking a risk.
1034
00:37:58,792 --> 00:38:00,750
Pursuing anything you love
usually comes with...
1035
00:38:00,834 --> 00:38:01,709
comes with risks.
1036
00:38:10,291 --> 00:38:11,667
Um...
1037
00:38:12,834 --> 00:38:14,333
How cute is this?
1038
00:38:14,417 --> 00:38:16,875
That is an elf that I made.
1039
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:19,583
In art class.
1040
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,166
Well, I'm so glad you went into
designing buildings
1041
00:38:23,250 --> 00:38:24,458
and not ceramic elves.
1042
00:38:24,542 --> 00:38:25,333
Okay, you know what,
1043
00:38:25,417 --> 00:38:26,499
how about you and I,
1044
00:38:26,583 --> 00:38:28,416
we grab a couple boxes,
1045
00:38:28,500 --> 00:38:29,999
and we go through them
downstairs?
1046
00:38:30,083 --> 00:38:31,333
I'll make some hot chocolate.
1047
00:38:31,417 --> 00:38:32,458
Are you sure this is
1048
00:38:32,542 --> 00:38:34,833
so I don't find
any more elf statues?
1049
00:38:34,917 --> 00:38:36,249
No.
1050
00:38:36,333 --> 00:38:39,333
I just think that maybe
a sugar boost is in order.
1051
00:38:41,458 --> 00:38:42,417
Can't say no to that.
1052
00:38:46,583 --> 00:38:48,416
Grandma's debutante gloves.
1053
00:38:48,500 --> 00:38:49,416
[Kendra gasps]
1054
00:38:49,500 --> 00:38:52,041
Oh...
1055
00:38:52,125 --> 00:38:54,208
and her invitation
to the debutante ball.
1056
00:38:55,792 --> 00:38:57,125
- So elegant.
- Right?
1057
00:38:59,083 --> 00:39:00,417
What's this?
1058
00:39:02,208 --> 00:39:03,959
My grandfather's pay stubs
from the railway.
1059
00:39:05,583 --> 00:39:08,291
So she was a debutante
and he worked at the railroad?
1060
00:39:09,375 --> 00:39:10,583
Yeah.
1061
00:39:10,667 --> 00:39:12,499
Huh.
1062
00:39:12,583 --> 00:39:14,333
Though they were from
two different worlds,
1063
00:39:14,417 --> 00:39:16,374
they still found each other.
1064
00:39:16,458 --> 00:39:18,666
You make it sound
very romantic.
1065
00:39:18,750 --> 00:39:20,375
It is very romantic.
1066
00:39:22,750 --> 00:39:23,959
Can I see them?
1067
00:39:31,041 --> 00:39:33,291
- Strange.
- What is it?
1068
00:39:33,375 --> 00:39:35,249
Well, these pay stubs
are in chronological order,
1069
00:39:35,333 --> 00:39:37,000
but then there's
this huge gap in the dates.
1070
00:39:38,333 --> 00:39:39,291
Maybe some of them are missing.
1071
00:39:40,417 --> 00:39:41,208
What is this?
1072
00:39:42,250 --> 00:39:43,249
Blueprints.
1073
00:39:43,333 --> 00:39:44,709
Of the general store.
1074
00:39:46,667 --> 00:39:48,250
Wow. Unbelievable.
1075
00:39:49,625 --> 00:39:50,583
What's this?
1076
00:39:52,208 --> 00:39:53,792
"My dream for us. W."
1077
00:39:55,417 --> 00:39:56,708
Well, that's interesting.
1078
00:39:56,792 --> 00:39:58,708
I didn't know that
he designed the general store.
1079
00:39:58,792 --> 00:40:00,124
I always just assumed
1080
00:40:00,208 --> 00:40:01,291
that it was something
they bought together
1081
00:40:01,375 --> 00:40:02,333
after they got married.
1082
00:40:02,417 --> 00:40:03,458
Is there anything else with it?
1083
00:40:03,542 --> 00:40:04,500
- Maybe in that box?
- Um...
1084
00:40:10,792 --> 00:40:12,583
A deed for the property,
1085
00:40:12,667 --> 00:40:14,166
dated the same year
they got engaged.
1086
00:40:14,250 --> 00:40:15,583
- [Michael] 1948.
- [Kendra] Uh-huh.
1087
00:40:15,667 --> 00:40:18,333
The store didn't open
until 1951.
1088
00:40:20,500 --> 00:40:21,916
A structure the size
of the general store--
1089
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:23,583
that shouldn't have taken them
three years to build.
1090
00:40:27,667 --> 00:40:28,957
Did Pearl ever mention anything
1091
00:40:29,041 --> 00:40:30,583
about her parents
not liking William?
1092
00:40:32,625 --> 00:40:34,333
No. I mean,
not that she ever told me.
1093
00:40:34,417 --> 00:40:35,416
Why?
1094
00:40:35,500 --> 00:40:37,041
I'm just wondering
1095
00:40:37,125 --> 00:40:39,416
if her parents weren't happy
with her dating William.
1096
00:40:39,500 --> 00:40:40,957
Being a debutante,
1097
00:40:41,041 --> 00:40:42,207
she was supposed to date men
of a certain class, you know?
1098
00:40:42,291 --> 00:40:44,166
And William's job
at the railroad
1099
00:40:44,250 --> 00:40:45,999
would have been considered
working-class.
1100
00:40:46,083 --> 00:40:46,957
Where are you going with this?
1101
00:40:47,041 --> 00:40:48,333
Oh, I just think
1102
00:40:48,417 --> 00:40:50,291
it's an interesting facet
to the story.
1103
00:40:50,375 --> 00:40:51,583
So you're thinking
1104
00:40:51,667 --> 00:40:53,583
William only wanted to be
with my grandmother
1105
00:40:53,667 --> 00:40:54,709
because of her family's money?
1106
00:40:56,291 --> 00:40:57,999
Oh, no, not at all,
I didn't say that.
1107
00:40:58,083 --> 00:40:59,750
To me, it looks like
1108
00:40:59,834 --> 00:41:03,708
my grandpa was trying
to make something of himself.
1109
00:41:03,792 --> 00:41:04,999
Right?
1110
00:41:05,083 --> 00:41:06,207
He wasn't a gold digger.
1111
00:41:06,291 --> 00:41:08,124
I agree completely.
1112
00:41:08,208 --> 00:41:09,291
All I'm saying is that
1113
00:41:09,375 --> 00:41:11,207
it's possible
her parents didn't like him
1114
00:41:11,291 --> 00:41:13,541
based on his status in life,
that's all.
1115
00:41:13,625 --> 00:41:15,333
Yeah, I'm sorry, I just--
1116
00:41:15,417 --> 00:41:16,374
I don't know why I overreacted.
1117
00:41:16,458 --> 00:41:17,374
No.
1118
00:41:17,458 --> 00:41:19,833
It's okay.
1119
00:41:19,917 --> 00:41:20,917
You don't need
to explain yourself.
1120
00:41:23,959 --> 00:41:25,583
You know what I think?
1121
00:41:25,667 --> 00:41:29,709
I think our marshmallows
need replenishing.
1122
00:41:39,667 --> 00:41:42,375
[♪]
1123
00:41:44,583 --> 00:41:46,416
- Good morning.
- Morning.
1124
00:41:46,500 --> 00:41:47,750
Do you need a hand?
1125
00:41:47,834 --> 00:41:49,291
Oh!
1126
00:41:49,375 --> 00:41:50,333
Putting up more lights?
1127
00:41:50,417 --> 00:41:51,875
Oh, these aren't for here.
1128
00:41:51,959 --> 00:41:53,416
They're for the bakery.
For Magnify Main Street night.
1129
00:41:53,500 --> 00:41:55,416
Magnify Main Street?
1130
00:41:55,500 --> 00:41:57,875
As part of the Main Street
Christmas Festival,
1131
00:41:57,959 --> 00:41:59,666
all the businesses
along Main Street
1132
00:41:59,750 --> 00:42:00,916
go all out with Christmas decor.
1133
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:02,875
You think the street's
decorated now?
1134
00:42:02,959 --> 00:42:03,999
You should come back
Monday night.
1135
00:42:04,083 --> 00:42:05,417
People get pretty into it.
1136
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:07,959
Hmm.
1137
00:42:12,542 --> 00:42:14,082
Merry Christmas!
1138
00:42:14,166 --> 00:42:15,625
You're in jolly spirits.
1139
00:42:15,709 --> 00:42:18,124
I was helping Paul get ready
for Magnify Main Street,
1140
00:42:18,208 --> 00:42:19,666
and he was telling me
1141
00:42:19,750 --> 00:42:22,291
how all the stores on the street
get decked out to the nines.
1142
00:42:22,375 --> 00:42:23,999
Yeah, people get into it.
1143
00:42:24,083 --> 00:42:25,541
Michael mentioned
1144
00:42:25,625 --> 00:42:27,249
that you two used to help
decorate the store with Pearl.
1145
00:42:27,333 --> 00:42:29,082
We did.
1146
00:42:29,166 --> 00:42:30,041
Yeah, unfortunately,
1147
00:42:30,125 --> 00:42:31,374
I haven't had a chance
this year.
1148
00:42:31,458 --> 00:42:32,458
Trish is busy at the paper
1149
00:42:32,542 --> 00:42:34,833
and it's a tough job
for one person.
1150
00:42:34,917 --> 00:42:35,791
Hmm.
1151
00:42:35,875 --> 00:42:37,333
Also, as of yesterday,
1152
00:42:37,417 --> 00:42:39,500
we just got our first offer
on the place, so...
1153
00:42:41,250 --> 00:42:42,708
Must be hard
to sell something
1154
00:42:42,792 --> 00:42:44,041
that's been in the family
for so long.
1155
00:42:44,125 --> 00:42:45,833
Yeah.
1156
00:42:45,917 --> 00:42:47,750
It just hasn't been
doing as well
1157
00:42:47,834 --> 00:42:49,791
since we lost Grandma.
1158
00:42:49,875 --> 00:42:51,458
I thought I had
what it took to run this place,
1159
00:42:51,542 --> 00:42:52,583
but...
1160
00:42:52,667 --> 00:42:53,875
Hey.
1161
00:42:53,959 --> 00:42:55,875
Come on, it's not your fault.
1162
00:42:55,959 --> 00:42:57,417
Everybody's just buying
everything online these days.
1163
00:42:59,125 --> 00:43:00,082
I would have loved
to have seen this place
1164
00:43:00,166 --> 00:43:01,499
all decked out
back in its heyday.
1165
00:43:01,583 --> 00:43:03,833
Grandma was always
trying to outdo herself
1166
00:43:03,917 --> 00:43:05,333
year after year.
1167
00:43:05,417 --> 00:43:06,875
Do you remember the time
that she rented that kid train
1168
00:43:06,959 --> 00:43:07,750
to give rides around the store?
1169
00:43:07,834 --> 00:43:09,082
Yeah, or the time
1170
00:43:09,166 --> 00:43:10,417
she set up an ice rink
right out front?
1171
00:43:12,083 --> 00:43:13,458
Well, if it's a matter
1172
00:43:13,542 --> 00:43:14,583
of needing
an extra pair of hands,
1173
00:43:14,667 --> 00:43:15,458
I can help you.
1174
00:43:16,709 --> 00:43:18,041
We'll spruce up the store
Pearl-style!
1175
00:43:18,125 --> 00:43:19,333
We?
1176
00:43:19,417 --> 00:43:21,708
Oh, I'd love to be part of
the Pine Grove magic
1177
00:43:21,792 --> 00:43:23,166
and experience it all
first-hand.
1178
00:43:24,542 --> 00:43:25,541
I'm sure there are
1179
00:43:25,625 --> 00:43:26,583
some great decorations
around here.
1180
00:43:26,667 --> 00:43:28,791
Yeah. Sounds good to me.
1181
00:43:28,875 --> 00:43:29,957
I don't know.
1182
00:43:30,041 --> 00:43:31,124
I mean, Grandma set the bar
pretty high.
1183
00:43:31,208 --> 00:43:33,416
It seems daunting.
1184
00:43:33,500 --> 00:43:35,124
So then in every decision,
1185
00:43:35,208 --> 00:43:37,207
we just have to ask ourselves
what would Pearl do?
1186
00:43:37,291 --> 00:43:38,166
There you go.
1187
00:43:38,250 --> 00:43:39,333
Come on.
1188
00:43:40,792 --> 00:43:41,875
It's in your DNA.
1189
00:43:41,959 --> 00:43:44,541
You know, you are
the most effectual person
1190
00:43:44,625 --> 00:43:45,541
I have ever met.
1191
00:43:45,625 --> 00:43:46,583
Is that a yes?
1192
00:43:48,667 --> 00:43:49,583
Yes!
1193
00:43:49,667 --> 00:43:51,083
Yes...
1194
00:43:52,417 --> 00:43:53,250
All right.
1195
00:43:55,625 --> 00:43:57,124
You know, for someone who just
got an offer on the store,
1196
00:43:57,208 --> 00:43:58,833
Scott didn't seem that happy.
1197
00:43:58,917 --> 00:44:00,625
I think Scott blames himself
for the store not doing well.
1198
00:44:00,709 --> 00:44:01,625
He'd rather sell the place
1199
00:44:01,709 --> 00:44:03,124
than feel like
he failed Grandma.
1200
00:44:03,208 --> 00:44:03,916
He shouldn't feel like that.
1201
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:05,291
Times change,
1202
00:44:05,375 --> 00:44:06,499
and a store like this
1203
00:44:06,583 --> 00:44:08,124
is difficult to sustain itself
this day in age.
1204
00:44:08,208 --> 00:44:09,541
I know.
1205
00:44:09,625 --> 00:44:11,875
And I wasn't much help either.
1206
00:44:11,959 --> 00:44:13,458
I left town first chance I had.
1207
00:44:13,542 --> 00:44:15,124
I left Scott
to figure it all out on his own.
1208
00:44:15,208 --> 00:44:16,500
Everyone has their own path.
1209
00:44:19,333 --> 00:44:20,249
What is that?
1210
00:44:20,333 --> 00:44:21,208
Wow.
1211
00:44:22,750 --> 00:44:24,750
We are going to rock
Monday night!
1212
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:28,750
Oh, come on!
1213
00:44:30,792 --> 00:44:33,416
My grandfather and I built this
when I was 7 years old.
1214
00:44:33,500 --> 00:44:35,875
I had drawn a picture
of Santa's sleigh,
1215
00:44:35,959 --> 00:44:39,666
and he said, "Hey, do you want
to make it come to life?"
1216
00:44:39,750 --> 00:44:42,625
- It's beautiful.
- Right?
1217
00:44:42,709 --> 00:44:44,833
Figure it could use
a coat of paint.
1218
00:44:44,917 --> 00:44:47,082
We could put it out front.
1219
00:44:47,166 --> 00:44:48,249
Think it will look really nice.
1220
00:44:48,333 --> 00:44:49,249
What do you say?
Want to give me a hand?
1221
00:44:49,333 --> 00:44:50,416
Of course.
1222
00:44:50,500 --> 00:44:51,583
All right.
1223
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:54,125
Oh.
1224
00:45:01,709 --> 00:45:03,291
- Michael.
- Yeah?
1225
00:45:03,375 --> 00:45:04,875
What's this?
1226
00:45:09,083 --> 00:45:10,499
Initials.
1227
00:45:10,583 --> 00:45:11,542
Your grandparents.
1228
00:45:12,959 --> 00:45:13,916
I've never seen this before.
1229
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:15,333
Huh.
1230
00:45:15,417 --> 00:45:18,041
1949?
1231
00:45:18,125 --> 00:45:19,542
I've got to get this.
[takes a picture]
1232
00:45:26,667 --> 00:45:27,666
You know,
the last thing I want to do
1233
00:45:27,750 --> 00:45:29,041
is criticize
your painting ability,
1234
00:45:29,125 --> 00:45:31,250
but you're dripping a lot.
1235
00:45:36,250 --> 00:45:39,333
Okay, so the initials
in the cement said 1949.
1236
00:45:39,417 --> 00:45:40,625
Uh-huh.
1237
00:45:40,709 --> 00:45:42,833
That means they started
laying the foundation
1238
00:45:42,917 --> 00:45:44,916
the year after they bought
the land for the store.
1239
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:46,541
I guess, yeah.
1240
00:45:46,625 --> 00:45:49,291
I wonder what that means
in terms of our timeline?
1241
00:45:49,375 --> 00:45:51,708
Just that they waited a year
before they started construction
1242
00:45:51,792 --> 00:45:52,583
for some reason or another.
1243
00:45:54,750 --> 00:45:55,791
Hey, listen, I don't mean to be
a downer here,
1244
00:45:55,875 --> 00:45:57,124
but is there a chance
1245
00:45:57,208 --> 00:45:59,249
that you're just reading
a tad far into everything?
1246
00:45:59,333 --> 00:46:01,583
I'm just gathering
all the information.
1247
00:46:01,667 --> 00:46:03,333
It's just I don't want you
to be disappointed
1248
00:46:03,417 --> 00:46:04,333
if there's no big mystery here.
1249
00:46:05,542 --> 00:46:06,417
You don't feel it?
1250
00:46:07,750 --> 00:46:09,333
Feel what?
1251
00:46:09,417 --> 00:46:11,541
That there's more to all this.
1252
00:46:11,625 --> 00:46:13,041
I can feel it.
1253
00:46:14,208 --> 00:46:15,625
Two people this in love,
1254
00:46:15,709 --> 00:46:17,667
they wouldn't just misplace
an item so special.
1255
00:46:18,959 --> 00:46:21,125
There's a reason
for all of it.
1256
00:46:23,458 --> 00:46:25,291
I think love can look
very different from the outside.
1257
00:46:27,458 --> 00:46:28,458
There's no real way
to know what happened.
1258
00:46:28,542 --> 00:46:30,416
I just...
1259
00:46:30,500 --> 00:46:31,625
I don't want to infer too much.
1260
00:46:34,250 --> 00:46:36,250
The way people inferred
about you and your ex?
1261
00:46:42,208 --> 00:46:45,250
You know, my ex came from
a property-development dynasty.
1262
00:46:47,709 --> 00:46:49,417
So everybody just assumed
I was with her to get ahead.
1263
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:52,041
But the simple truth is
1264
00:46:52,125 --> 00:46:53,791
that I fell in love
1265
00:46:53,875 --> 00:46:55,875
with the girl that I met
in my design class.
1266
00:46:57,875 --> 00:46:58,791
I had these ideas
1267
00:46:58,875 --> 00:47:00,374
for these
small-space living hubs
1268
00:47:00,458 --> 00:47:01,583
in the city,
1269
00:47:01,667 --> 00:47:03,625
and she had
all of this business experience.
1270
00:47:03,709 --> 00:47:05,249
So we joined forces,
1271
00:47:05,333 --> 00:47:06,791
and her parents invested,
1272
00:47:06,875 --> 00:47:08,208
and we created Upward Design.
1273
00:47:09,625 --> 00:47:10,959
We built something that was...
1274
00:47:12,333 --> 00:47:13,416
really special.
1275
00:47:13,500 --> 00:47:15,207
So what happened?
1276
00:47:15,291 --> 00:47:17,791
Well, despite
accepting my proposal,
1277
00:47:17,875 --> 00:47:19,957
I guess she didn't really feel
the same way I did.
1278
00:47:20,041 --> 00:47:21,291
She met somebody new.
1279
00:47:21,375 --> 00:47:22,666
Oh...
1280
00:47:22,750 --> 00:47:25,082
She said she had to follow
her heart,
1281
00:47:25,166 --> 00:47:26,458
but wanted to remain
business partners
1282
00:47:26,542 --> 00:47:28,249
because, you know,
we had such a great thing going,
1283
00:47:28,333 --> 00:47:29,416
but I just--
- I couldn't,
1284
00:47:29,500 --> 00:47:31,750
I couldn't bring myself
to do that,
1285
00:47:31,834 --> 00:47:33,458
so...
1286
00:47:34,542 --> 00:47:36,333
I walked away.
1287
00:47:36,417 --> 00:47:37,250
That sounds awful.
1288
00:47:38,375 --> 00:47:39,750
I'm so sorry.
1289
00:47:40,917 --> 00:47:43,625
Yeah. Listen...
1290
00:47:43,709 --> 00:47:48,583
Taking this deep dive
into my grandparents' love,
1291
00:47:48,667 --> 00:47:50,249
I think part of me
is just scared
1292
00:47:50,333 --> 00:47:52,499
that you're gonna
uncover something
1293
00:47:52,583 --> 00:47:53,541
that's gonna make me doubt
1294
00:47:53,625 --> 00:47:54,999
the strength
of their relationship.
1295
00:47:55,083 --> 00:47:58,041
Whatever I uncover or learn,
1296
00:47:58,125 --> 00:47:59,124
it doesn't change the fact
1297
00:47:59,208 --> 00:48:00,458
that they clearly
loved each other.
1298
00:48:01,959 --> 00:48:03,083
And you.
1299

1301
00:48:11,166 --> 00:48:12,499
Hi, Kendra.
1302
00:48:12,583 --> 00:48:13,875
I found something
1303
00:48:13,959 --> 00:48:16,957
you might find
very interesting.
1304
00:48:17,041 --> 00:48:17,834
I'll be right there.
1305
00:48:20,166 --> 00:48:21,917
Paul has some information
on the ring.
1306
00:48:24,166 --> 00:48:25,333
Do you want to come with me?
1307
00:48:25,417 --> 00:48:27,041
You think there's a reason
for all this?
1308
00:48:28,959 --> 00:48:29,791
Let's go see if you're right.
1309
00:48:29,875 --> 00:48:31,291
Let's.
1310
00:48:35,208 --> 00:48:37,041
[Paul] I was looking through
my grandfather's old records,
1311
00:48:37,125 --> 00:48:39,124
hoping to find something
to help you with your search,
1312
00:48:39,208 --> 00:48:41,708
when I found this note
1313
00:48:41,792 --> 00:48:44,666
written by William
to my grandfather, Carl.
1314
00:48:44,750 --> 00:48:46,082
Wow.
1315
00:48:46,166 --> 00:48:47,541
"Carl,
1316
00:48:47,625 --> 00:48:48,708
I was thinking more about
1317
00:48:48,792 --> 00:48:49,999
the engagement ring
we discussed.
1318
00:48:50,083 --> 00:48:51,083
This is what I was envisioning."
1319
00:48:54,458 --> 00:48:55,416
"Pearl's parents
1320
00:48:55,500 --> 00:48:56,916
are talking about sending her

to live with her aunt
in St. Louis after the New Year.
1322
00:49:01,834 --> 00:49:04,499
Do you think the ring
could be ready by Christmas Eve?
1323
00:49:04,583 --> 00:49:05,541
It seems building my store
1324
00:49:05,625 --> 00:49:07,499
will have to wait
a little longer.
1325
00:49:07,583 --> 00:49:08,875
Can't lose my girl!
1326
00:49:08,959 --> 00:49:09,916
W."
1327
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:11,082
See! Pearl's parents
1328
00:49:11,166 --> 00:49:12,833
didn't approve
of her dating William.
1329
00:49:12,917 --> 00:49:14,374
They were going
to send her away,
1330
00:49:14,458 --> 00:49:16,041
so he had to propose
sooner than he thought.
1331
00:49:16,125 --> 00:49:17,291
And the money
1332
00:49:17,375 --> 00:49:18,124
he was going to spend
building the store...
1333
00:49:18,208 --> 00:49:19,583
He spent on the ring.
1334
00:49:19,667 --> 00:49:21,708
That's why he had to wait
to break ground.
1335
00:49:21,792 --> 00:49:23,333
He put his dreams on hold
1336
00:49:23,417 --> 00:49:24,417
so he wouldn't lose
your grandma.
1337
00:49:27,125 --> 00:49:28,000
He was a smart guy.
1338
00:49:29,875 --> 00:49:32,166
[Kendra] Oh, I am loving
these retro ornaments.
1339
00:49:32,250 --> 00:49:34,833
They're absolutely stunning.
1340
00:49:34,917 --> 00:49:36,082
Speaking of retro,
1341
00:49:36,166 --> 00:49:37,708
I can't believe
Grandma kept this.
1342
00:49:37,792 --> 00:49:39,041
Of course she did.
They're beauti--
1343
00:49:39,125 --> 00:49:42,124
Wait, what is that?
1344
00:49:42,208 --> 00:49:44,666
This is an ornament
that I made in...
1345
00:49:44,750 --> 00:49:45,916
first grade.
1346
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:48,916
Right, but what was it
supposed to look like?
1347
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:50,291
You can't tell?
1348
00:49:50,375 --> 00:49:51,291
Mm-mm.
1349
00:49:51,375 --> 00:49:53,124
It's a...
1350
00:49:53,208 --> 00:49:54,916
- It's a snowflake?
- Oh.
1351
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:56,875
- It's abstract.
- Like the elf.
1352
00:49:58,542 --> 00:50:00,124
It's so sweet that she kept it.
1353
00:50:00,208 --> 00:50:02,750
Clearly,
Grandma was sentimental.
1354
00:50:02,834 --> 00:50:05,416
So then why wouldn't she keep
her engagement ring?
1355
00:50:05,500 --> 00:50:07,291
The one William spent
his life savings on?
1356
00:50:08,875 --> 00:50:10,041
Popsicle ornament
for your thoughts?
1357
00:50:11,875 --> 00:50:13,041
Okay...
1358
00:50:13,125 --> 00:50:14,625
After William bought the land
for the store,
1359
00:50:14,709 --> 00:50:16,291
he spent the rest of his money
on the ring,
1360
00:50:16,375 --> 00:50:17,666
that's why he had to go back
to work on the railroad.
1361
00:50:17,750 --> 00:50:18,791
Sure.
1362
00:50:18,875 --> 00:50:21,207
But the initials in the cement
say 1949,
1363
00:50:21,291 --> 00:50:22,750
so how did he get enough money
1364
00:50:22,834 --> 00:50:25,333
to start building the store
only a year later?
1365
00:50:25,417 --> 00:50:27,416
Based on those pay stubs,
he wasn't making that much.
1366
00:50:27,500 --> 00:50:29,166
You really are way too talented
1367
00:50:29,250 --> 00:50:30,875
to just be writing
lists and quizzes.
1368
00:50:32,750 --> 00:50:34,542
It's always nice
when someone has faith in you.
1369
00:50:38,750 --> 00:50:41,041
Not too shabby.
1370
00:50:41,125 --> 00:50:43,041
I think Pearl would be proud.
1371
00:50:43,125 --> 00:50:45,791
I wish my parents
were here for this.
1372
00:50:45,875 --> 00:50:47,333
My mom would have loved
Pine Grove.
1373
00:50:49,208 --> 00:50:50,166
You know, even though
1374
00:50:50,250 --> 00:50:51,374
you were looking for
your mom's ring,
1375
00:50:51,458 --> 00:50:52,458
I'm really happy
that you found my Grandma's.
1376
00:50:54,834 --> 00:50:55,750

00:51:06,333 --> 00:51:07,416
Just checking in.
1383
00:51:07,500 --> 00:51:08,458
I haven't seen

00:51:08,542 --> 00:51:09,833
any drafts from you yet.
1385
00:51:09,917 --> 00:51:12,458
I'm still piecing it
all together.
1386
00:51:12,542 --> 00:51:14,041
It turns out William bought
the ring for Pearl
1387
00:51:14,125 --> 00:51:15,374
so he wouldn't lose her,
1388
00:51:15,458 --> 00:51:17,249
even though it meant
putting his dreams on hold.
1389
00:51:17,333 --> 00:51:18,458
Okay, and Michael?
1390
00:51:18,542 --> 00:51:19,499
Have you had a chance
to interview him?
1391
00:51:19,583 --> 00:51:20,875
Oh...
1392
00:51:20,959 --> 00:51:22,041
I've been focusing

00:51:22,125 --> 00:51:24,082
more on the grandparents
and the ring first.
1394
00:51:24,166 --> 00:51:25,791
I trust
you'll cover everything.
1395
00:51:25,875 --> 00:51:27,041
Will you send me
what you have so far?
1396
00:51:27,125 --> 00:51:28,333
Well, it's pretty rough,
1397
00:51:28,417 --> 00:51:30,166

I need to see your progress.

00:51:34,166 --> 00:51:35,374
Now, don't let me down.
1401
00:51:35,458 --> 00:51:37,416
Okay.
1402
00:51:37,500 --> 00:51:39,041
I will send you what I have.
1403
00:51:39,125 --> 00:51:40,291
Thank you.
Gotta go, talk soon.

A human-interest piece
1405
00:51:50,041 --> 00:51:52,416
is supposed to be
an emotional, relatable story,
1406
00:51:52,500 --> 00:51:54,458
not spilling the gossip
on someone's break-up.
1407
00:51:54,542 --> 00:51:56,541
I know that,
and you know that.
1408
00:51:56,625 --> 00:51:58,875
You just need to show Linda that
through your writing.
1409
00:51:58,959 --> 00:52:00,333
I really feel like
1410
00:52:00,417 --> 00:52:02,499
if she would just let me finish
the path I'm on,
1411
00:52:02,583 --> 00:52:05,082
it could be
a really meaningful article.
1412
00:52:05,166 --> 00:52:07,291
Do you think you'll have
everything you need by Thursday?
1413
00:52:07,375 --> 00:52:09,499
Honestly, I don't know.
1414
00:52:09,583 --> 00:52:11,291
What happened to the ring
is still a mystery.
1415
00:52:11,375 --> 00:52:13,458
If anyone can figure it out,
it's you.
1416
00:52:13,542 --> 00:52:15,207
Thanks.
1417
00:52:15,291 --> 00:52:16,750
Michael's been
a huge help, too.
1418
00:52:16,834 --> 00:52:18,291
I don't know
what I'd do without him.
1419
00:52:18,375 --> 00:52:20,207
He seems like a great guy.
1420
00:52:20,291 --> 00:52:22,166
You know, I wasn't sure
at first,
1421
00:52:22,250 --> 00:52:23,959
but he's since surprised me.
1422
00:52:25,041 --> 00:52:26,916
He even suggested
1423
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:29,082
that I should start
my own online magazine.
1424
00:52:29,166 --> 00:52:31,166
Did he now?
1425
00:52:31,250 --> 00:52:33,374
Oh, no, no, no,
it's not like that.
1426
00:52:33,458 --> 00:52:34,666
The sparkle in your eye
1427
00:52:34,750 --> 00:52:35,625
when you talk about him
1428
00:52:35,709 --> 00:52:36,791
is blinding.
1429
00:52:36,875 --> 00:52:38,999
Is the connection bad?
1430
00:52:39,083 --> 00:52:40,207
Because you're a little blurry.
1431
00:52:40,291 --> 00:52:41,916
I should go.
1432
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:43,708
I'm not letting you
get away with it that easily.
1433
00:52:43,792 --> 00:52:44,916
You totally have a crush.
1434
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:47,041
I should get back
to writing, okay?

00:52:47,125 --> 00:52:48,333

00:52:54,375 --> 00:52:55,207
[door entry bell jingles]
1438
00:52:55,291 --> 00:52:56,333
Hey!
1439
00:52:56,417 --> 00:52:57,291
Paul had some extra lights
1440
00:52:57,375 --> 00:52:58,374
and I thought we could
1441
00:52:58,458 --> 00:53:00,000
put them on the sleigh
for tonight.
1442
00:53:02,917 --> 00:53:04,333
Is everything okay?
1443
00:53:05,500 --> 00:53:06,375
Yeah.
1444
00:53:08,041 --> 00:53:08,791
The guy who put in
the offer on the store
1445
00:53:08,875 --> 00:53:10,333
just came by.
1446
00:53:10,417 --> 00:53:12,291
I was all excited to show him
these original blueprints,
1447
00:53:12,375 --> 00:53:14,041
but...
1448
00:53:14,125 --> 00:53:15,750
he said they're just gonna
tear down the store...
1449
00:53:16,917 --> 00:53:17,625
put in a Coffee Max.
1450
00:53:18,834 --> 00:53:20,499
That's a big change.
1451
00:53:20,583 --> 00:53:21,499
I mean, don't get me wrong,
1452
00:53:21,583 --> 00:53:22,625
the place is in need
of a change,
1453
00:53:22,709 --> 00:53:24,374
but...
1454
00:53:24,458 --> 00:53:25,791
you know,
1455
00:53:25,875 --> 00:53:27,542
I think there's better ways
to maximize the space.
1456
00:53:28,542 --> 00:53:29,333
You see this wall?
1457
00:53:29,417 --> 00:53:31,124
Mm-hmm...
1458
00:53:31,208 --> 00:53:33,374
He could knock this down,
1459
00:53:33,458 --> 00:53:34,875
just open
this whole space outward.
1460
00:53:36,750 --> 00:53:37,959
And see this
on the blueprints?
1461
00:53:40,375 --> 00:53:42,207
Originally, my grandpa wanted
to put in a loft,
1462
00:53:42,291 --> 00:53:44,875
with books and chairs,
1463
00:53:44,959 --> 00:53:46,291
some place for people
to sit and read.
1464
00:53:47,417 --> 00:53:48,916
Apparently, he didn't have
the room for it,
1465
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:51,207
but one thing I did
at Upward Design
1466
00:53:51,291 --> 00:53:53,166
was make the most
out of small areas.
1467
00:53:55,625 --> 00:53:56,499
We could move these beams,
1468
00:53:56,583 --> 00:53:58,416
make the ceiling higher
1469
00:53:58,500 --> 00:54:00,625
put in
that loft-slash-library-cafe.
1470
00:54:00,709 --> 00:54:02,166
If we rewire through here,
1471
00:54:02,250 --> 00:54:03,750
we could actually make it
a computer lounge.
1472
00:54:03,834 --> 00:54:05,499
And look at this!
See this?
1473
00:54:05,583 --> 00:54:06,957
This over here--
1474
00:54:07,041 --> 00:54:08,333
this used to be
a soda-fountain counter.
1475
00:54:08,417 --> 00:54:10,124
They tore it down
for more shelving,
1476
00:54:10,208 --> 00:54:12,791
but Scott doesn't need
the retail space.
1477
00:54:12,875 --> 00:54:14,291
We could rebuild
using these plans.
1478
00:54:16,041 --> 00:54:17,166
Make it a WiFi hotspot.
1479
00:54:17,250 --> 00:54:18,999
Sounds like
you're having second thoughts.
1480
00:54:19,083 --> 00:54:21,375
My grandfather wanted this
to be more than just a store.
1481
00:54:23,834 --> 00:54:26,625
He wanted it to be a place
where people came together.
1482
00:54:26,709 --> 00:54:28,708
Have you talked to Scott
about this?
1483
00:54:28,792 --> 00:54:29,499
I don't know
if he'd be interested.
1484
00:54:29,583 --> 00:54:30,875
You're his brother.
1485
00:54:30,959 --> 00:54:33,083
I'm sure he'd want to hear
what you have to say.
1486
00:54:36,625 --> 00:54:40,875
[♪]
1487
00:54:50,208 --> 00:54:51,875
You got it working!
1488
00:54:51,959 --> 00:54:54,416
Thought I'd transport us
to a different time.
1489
00:54:54,500 --> 00:54:55,625
Oh! Wait!
1490
00:54:55,709 --> 00:54:56,875
Oh, hold on.
1491
00:54:59,667 --> 00:55:00,583
It's perfect.
1492
00:55:01,875 --> 00:55:02,833
The past meets the present.
1493
00:55:02,917 --> 00:55:05,333
Pearl and William
would be so proud.
1494
00:55:05,417 --> 00:55:07,207
[Michael] I think they'd love
what we did to the store.
1495
00:55:07,291 --> 00:55:08,208
[Kendra] I hope so.
1496
00:55:09,458 --> 00:55:10,875
They both had
such a great sense of style.
1497
00:55:12,500 --> 00:55:14,291
Do you just carry that
around with you everywhere now?
1498
00:55:16,125 --> 00:55:16,957
It's part of my job.
1499
00:55:17,041 --> 00:55:17,999
Your job.
1500
00:55:18,083 --> 00:55:19,583
That's right.
1501
00:55:19,667 --> 00:55:20,541
You know, I keep forgetting this
is a work assignment for you.
1502
00:55:20,625 --> 00:55:23,999
I mean, yeah, it's work, but...
1503
00:55:24,083 --> 00:55:24,917
I care about this story.
1504
00:55:26,333 --> 00:55:29,291
After all, I'm putting
my job on the line for it.
1505
00:55:29,375 --> 00:55:31,750
- [door opening]
- [Trish] Hi. Hot chocolate?
1506
00:55:31,834 --> 00:55:33,666
- [Kendra] Yes, please.
- [Michael] Thank you.
1507
00:55:33,750 --> 00:55:34,916
Thank you so much.
1508
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:36,791
The store looks
better than ever.
1509
00:55:36,875 --> 00:55:38,458
I'm so glad we did this.
1510
00:55:38,542 --> 00:55:40,000
I'm so glad
Kendra made us do it.
1511
00:55:41,250 --> 00:55:42,583
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
1512
00:55:42,667 --> 00:55:43,957
Oh, Trish,
1513
00:55:44,041 --> 00:55:45,041
that reminds me,
1514
00:55:45,125 --> 00:55:45,999
I wanted to ask you something.
1515
00:55:46,083 --> 00:55:47,041
Is there a way to get a list
1516
00:55:47,125 --> 00:55:48,333
of banks and lenders
1517
00:55:48,417 --> 00:55:50,041
that have been in Pine Grove
over the years?
1518
00:55:50,125 --> 00:55:52,374
Specifically ones around 1949?
1519
00:55:52,458 --> 00:55:54,041
I can ask at the newspaper.
1520
00:55:54,125 --> 00:55:55,708
I'm sure
those records exist. Why?
1521
00:55:55,792 --> 00:55:57,541
William broke ground
on the property
1522
00:55:57,625 --> 00:55:59,458
the same year he went back
to work for the railroad
1523
00:55:59,542 --> 00:56:01,916
because he spent all his money
on the ring,
1524
00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:03,541
so where did the money come from
1525
00:56:03,625 --> 00:56:05,750
to start building the store?
1526
00:56:05,834 --> 00:56:07,458
So you think
he took out a loan?
1527
00:56:07,542 --> 00:56:09,416
But the only people
who could have afforded that
1528
00:56:09,500 --> 00:56:10,833
would have been Pearl's parents,
1529
00:56:10,917 --> 00:56:12,207
and they weren't on board
with the marriage,
1530
00:56:12,291 --> 00:56:13,791
so I figured he'd had
to have looked elsewhere.
1531
00:56:13,875 --> 00:56:15,082
Right.
1532
00:56:15,166 --> 00:56:16,207
Well, I'll ask
first thing tomorrow.
1533
00:56:16,291 --> 00:56:17,791
That would be great.
1534
00:56:17,875 --> 00:56:20,916
Okay, now I am going to get us
some of Paul's Christmas cookies
1535
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:21,875
before they sell out.
1536
00:56:21,959 --> 00:56:23,583
My treat.
1537
00:56:23,667 --> 00:56:24,458
You'd better make it quick.
1538
00:56:30,417 --> 00:56:31,417
[Trish clears her throat]
1539
00:56:33,250 --> 00:56:33,999
What?
1540
00:56:34,083 --> 00:56:35,166
Nothing.
1541
00:56:35,250 --> 00:56:36,583
I just haven't seen you
smile this much
1542
00:56:36,667 --> 00:56:37,500
in a very long time.
1543
00:56:38,834 --> 00:56:39,833
- It's Christmas.
- [Scott] Right.
1544
00:56:39,917 --> 00:56:40,875
Wasn't it a few weeks ago
1545
00:56:40,959 --> 00:56:42,082
you were saying
1546
00:56:42,166 --> 00:56:44,041
you couldn't wait
to get through the holidays?
1547
00:56:44,125 --> 00:56:45,583
You know what--
1548
00:56:45,667 --> 00:56:47,666
I am learning to appreciate
everything they have to offer.
1549
00:56:47,750 --> 00:56:49,458
Well, I think you should
learn to appreciate
1550
00:56:49,542 --> 00:56:51,249
asking Kendra
to the Christmas Eve dance.
1551
00:56:51,333 --> 00:56:52,416
I think that's a terrible idea.
1552
00:56:52,500 --> 00:56:53,666
Why not?
You like her.
1553
00:56:53,750 --> 00:56:55,833
Yeah. Liking her
isn't the issue.
1554
00:56:55,917 --> 00:56:56,833
He admits it!
1555
00:56:56,917 --> 00:56:58,333
Then what is the issue?
1556
00:56:58,417 --> 00:56:59,625
Okay, look,
1557
00:56:59,709 --> 00:57:01,541
not everybody can be as lucky
as you two, okay?
1558
00:57:01,625 --> 00:57:04,416
Or Grandma and Grandpa.
1559
00:57:04,500 --> 00:57:05,416
Actually...
1560
00:57:05,500 --> 00:57:07,750
yes, they we can.
1561
00:57:07,834 --> 00:57:08,917
How will you know
unless you try?
1562
00:57:15,542 --> 00:57:16,957
[Kendra]
Thank you for the ride.
1563
00:57:17,041 --> 00:57:18,416
Thank you for the fun night.
1564
00:57:18,500 --> 00:57:19,834
[sighs happily]
1565
00:57:21,333 --> 00:57:22,166
It's sure going to be
a change of pace
1566
00:57:22,250 --> 00:57:23,499
going back to Boston
1567
00:57:23,583 --> 00:57:25,333
after being in a town
like Pine Grove.
1568
00:57:25,417 --> 00:57:27,708
Well, you know,
maybe if the article is a hit,
1569
00:57:27,792 --> 00:57:31,708
you could find more
human-interest stories here.
1570
00:57:31,792 --> 00:57:32,750
I think we have
1571
00:57:32,834 --> 00:57:34,957
the highest number
of maple trees
1572
00:57:35,041 --> 00:57:36,082
outside of Vermont.
1573
00:57:36,166 --> 00:57:37,750
Oh, yeah,
1574
00:57:37,834 --> 00:57:39,458
my boss is gonna love
the click potentials
1575
00:57:39,542 --> 00:57:40,416
with that headline.
1576
00:57:40,500 --> 00:57:42,082
You never know,
1577
00:57:42,166 --> 00:57:43,333
she's letting you
write about a ring, right?
1578
00:57:44,875 --> 00:57:46,499
Um, actually...
1579
00:57:46,583 --> 00:57:47,666
It's funny
you should mention that
1580
00:57:47,750 --> 00:57:48,791
because there's something
I wanted to--
1581
00:57:48,875 --> 00:57:49,916
[Michael] Look.
1582
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:50,916
[Kendra] What?
1583
00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:52,417
It's a shooting star.
1584
00:57:54,208 --> 00:57:56,499
Oh...
1585
00:57:56,583 --> 00:57:57,875
I missed it.
1586
00:58:00,959 --> 00:58:01,834
We should make a wish.
1587
00:58:03,834 --> 00:58:04,709
[Kendra] Okay.
1588
00:58:18,125 --> 00:58:22,000
[♪]
1589
00:58:25,333 --> 00:58:26,249
I should go.
1590
00:58:26,333 --> 00:58:27,750
Yeah.
1591
00:58:27,834 --> 00:58:30,291
Because, technically,
I'm still on the clock.
1592
00:58:30,375 --> 00:58:31,499
Okay.
1593
00:58:31,583 --> 00:58:32,833
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
1594
00:58:32,917 --> 00:58:33,792
- Goodnight.
- Goodnight.
1595
00:58:43,583 --> 00:58:45,458
So there was only one bank
in town at the time,
1596
00:58:45,542 --> 00:58:47,082
but they didn't have
a loan record in William's name.
1597
00:58:47,166 --> 00:58:48,166
Oh...
1598
00:58:48,250 --> 00:58:49,916
But I did find an old directory
1599
00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:52,041
that listed a company
on the edge of town
1600
00:58:52,125 --> 00:58:53,666
called Barney's Loans and Bonds.
1601
00:58:53,750 --> 00:58:55,207
Anything there?
1602
00:58:55,291 --> 00:58:56,541
Well, they closed in the '60s,
1603
00:58:56,625 --> 00:58:58,333
and because they were
a private-lending company,
1604
00:58:58,417 --> 00:58:59,458
there's no public records.
1605
00:58:59,542 --> 00:59:00,708
Hmm.
1606
00:59:00,792 --> 00:59:01,833
I wonder
if their private records
1607
00:59:01,917 --> 00:59:04,333
even still exist?
1608
00:59:04,417 --> 00:59:05,833
Well, they were bought out
by Star Credit Union,
1609
00:59:05,917 --> 00:59:06,957
so there's a possibility
1610
00:59:07,041 --> 00:59:08,083
they might have
some information.
1611
00:59:09,917 --> 00:59:11,207
Thank you so much
for all of this.
1612
00:59:11,291 --> 00:59:12,666
I'm happy to help.
1613
00:59:12,750 --> 00:59:15,041
I feel like
we're getting closer.
1614
00:59:15,125 --> 00:59:16,375
Me too.

What is this?
1617
00:59:23,291 --> 00:59:25,041
Well, Michael and I started
looking through the storage
1618
00:59:25,125 --> 00:59:26,249
to find you some more
1619
00:59:26,333 --> 00:59:28,041
of those retro
Christmas ornaments you like,
1620
00:59:28,125 --> 00:59:29,416
and we actually found
1621
00:59:29,500 --> 00:59:30,833
some really great photos
of the store over the years.
1622
00:59:30,917 --> 00:59:32,291
Yeah, you know,
besides the soda fountain,
1623
00:59:32,375 --> 00:59:33,667
this place really hasn't changed
that much since it opened.
1624
00:59:34,959 --> 00:59:36,374
The prices sure have changed.
1625
00:59:36,458 --> 00:59:39,207
Well, everything could use
a good makeover once in a while.
1626
00:59:39,291 --> 00:59:40,875
- Trying to do that with Quizzer.
- [Scott] Yeah, I know.
1627
00:59:40,959 --> 00:59:43,458
It's just Grandma made it work
for so many years as it is,
1628
00:59:43,542 --> 00:59:44,708
I honestly don't even know
where to start
1629
00:59:44,792 --> 00:59:46,583
when it comes to updating.
1630
00:59:46,667 --> 00:59:49,416
Michael had some great ideas
for repurposing the space.
1631
00:59:49,500 --> 00:59:51,708
You should tell Scott.
1632
00:59:51,792 --> 00:59:53,374
- Oh, yeah?
- Uh, yeah.
1633
00:59:53,458 --> 00:59:54,750
Just, you know,
1634
00:59:54,834 --> 00:59:56,666
some ideas inspired by
Grandpa's original blueprints.
1635
00:59:56,750 --> 00:59:59,333
But, listen, you know the store
better than anybody else,
1636
00:59:59,417 --> 01:00:00,583
so if you think
it makes sense to sell,
1637
01:00:00,667 --> 01:00:01,458
then that's
what we're going to do.
1638
01:00:01,542 --> 01:00:02,875
Maybe your ideas make sense.
1639
01:00:02,959 --> 01:00:03,875
I'd love to see them.
1640
01:00:03,959 --> 01:00:05,333

[Michael] Not that I knew of.

Is there a date on this?
1644
01:00:09,542 --> 01:00:10,750
No.
1645
01:00:10,834 --> 01:00:12,333
I didn't realize
the store ever hosted events.
1646
01:00:12,417 --> 01:00:13,708
You know what,
it must have been part of
1647
01:00:13,792 --> 01:00:15,041
Grandpa's original vision
for the store
1648
01:00:15,125 --> 01:00:16,082
as a community hotspot.
1649
01:00:16,166 --> 01:00:17,833
We should do this!
1650
01:00:17,917 --> 01:00:19,041
One last cookie exchange.
1651
01:00:19,125 --> 01:00:20,708
I love that!
1652
01:00:20,792 --> 01:00:22,166
A way to say goodbye
to the store
1653
01:00:22,250 --> 01:00:24,667
in the perfect William and Pearl
Christmas fashion.
1654
01:00:26,208 --> 01:00:27,541
And there are no festival
activities planned for tomorrow.
1655
01:00:27,625 --> 01:00:29,416
It's kismet.
1656
01:00:29,500 --> 01:00:31,041
Okay, I'll post it
on the newspaper's site--
1657
01:00:31,125 --> 01:00:32,374
and the social-media accounts
1658
01:00:32,458 --> 01:00:34,416
will really get
the word out there fast.
1659
01:00:34,500 --> 01:00:35,541
Okay, I guess we're doing this.
1660
01:00:35,625 --> 01:00:37,957
Did Pearl have
a favorite cookie recipe
1661
01:00:38,041 --> 01:00:38,957
that you knew of?
1662
01:00:39,041 --> 01:00:39,916
Oh, yeah.

Michael, do you
still have the recipe?
1666
01:00:44,709 --> 01:00:45,666
Yeah, I think
it's in the kitchen somewhere.
1667
01:00:45,750 --> 01:00:46,708
I'll find it.
1668
01:00:46,792 --> 01:00:47,625
I love whoopie pies.

I can give you a hand?
1670
01:00:50,125 --> 01:00:51,666
Because peppermint
can be tricky.

I've eaten my fair share,

whoopie pies from scratch.

gotta be around here somewhere.

Okay, recipes...

1684
01:01:20,291 --> 01:01:21,291
This is it--
1685
01:01:21,375 --> 01:01:22,625
"Pearl's Peppermint
Whoopie Pie."
1686
01:01:22,709 --> 01:01:24,792
Looks like
it's on its last leg.
1687
01:01:26,125 --> 01:01:27,999
What's this?
1688
01:01:28,083 --> 01:01:29,999
"My dear Pearl,

but this needs to stay
in the family.

gave that to her.

William to marry Pearl,

01:05:16,583 --> 01:05:17,957
Looks just like ours.
1791
01:05:18,041 --> 01:05:18,957
I don't know if it was
the first one,
1792
01:05:19,041 --> 01:05:20,708
but it was probably close to it.
1793
01:05:20,792 --> 01:05:21,833
Look.
1794
01:05:21,917 --> 01:05:23,458
Pearl's not wearing
the ring anymore.
1795
01:05:25,250 --> 01:05:28,333
[♪]
1796
01:05:28,417 --> 01:05:29,708
What about the fact
1797
01:05:29,792 --> 01:05:30,957
that they came
from different backgrounds
1798
01:05:31,041 --> 01:05:32,583
but overcame that?
1799
01:05:32,667 --> 01:05:35,541
Or the fact that they met
at a Christmas Eve Dance,
1800
01:05:35,625 --> 01:05:37,708
and then got engaged
exactly one year later
1801
01:05:37,792 --> 01:05:39,082
at the same dance
1802
01:05:39,166 --> 01:05:40,916
right before
Pearl was going to be sent away?
1803
01:05:41,000 --> 01:05:42,499
[Linda] That's all great,
1804
01:05:42,583 --> 01:05:43,625
but I know that
Michael and Sandra's break-up
1805
01:05:43,709 --> 01:05:45,082
is the hook for our readers,
1806
01:05:45,166 --> 01:05:46,875
and you have enough of his story
to focus more on that.
1807
01:05:46,959 --> 01:05:48,207
I know you think
1808
01:05:48,291 --> 01:05:49,791
our readers want to hear about
bad break-ups,
1809
01:05:49,875 --> 01:05:51,499
but I think that they'll also
want to read a story
1810
01:05:51,583 --> 01:05:53,166
about family and love
1811
01:05:53,250 --> 01:05:55,499
and a ring
that brought people together.
1812
01:05:55,583 --> 01:05:57,207
You are a great writer.
1813
01:05:57,291 --> 01:05:59,541
I know you can figure out
how to include both.
1814
01:05:59,625 --> 01:06:00,708
You get
your human-interest piece,
1815
01:06:00,792 --> 01:06:02,041
I get my clicks.
1816
01:06:02,125 --> 01:06:04,458
Kendra, I let you
follow this story,
1817
01:06:04,542 --> 01:06:06,041
and I want to publish it.
1818
01:06:06,125 --> 01:06:08,207
Can't you just
be happy about that?
1819
01:06:08,291 --> 01:06:10,791
Now, work on making Michael
the focal point.
1820
01:06:10,875 --> 01:06:12,541
how his failed engagement
is in juxtaposition
1821
01:06:12,625 --> 01:06:14,207
with his grandparents' love.
1822
01:06:14,291 --> 01:06:15,374
That's the interesting part.
1823
01:06:15,458 --> 01:06:16,500
Good luck.
1824
01:06:20,583 --> 01:06:24,625
[♪]
1825
01:06:30,417 --> 01:06:31,999
[Kendra]
Thanks for coming here with me.
1826
01:06:32,083 --> 01:06:34,625
[Michael] Why do you think
a jewelry dealer in Willow Brook
1827
01:06:34,709 --> 01:06:35,917
is going to know something?
1828
01:06:37,333 --> 01:06:39,541
Okay, every picture of Pearl
had her wearing the ring
1829
01:06:39,625 --> 01:06:41,333
until 1954.
1830
01:06:41,417 --> 01:06:42,583
Now, that was
around the same time
1831
01:06:42,667 --> 01:06:44,124
the loan was due.
1832
01:06:44,208 --> 01:06:45,082
I asked Paul,
1833
01:06:45,166 --> 01:06:46,499
did he think
1834
01:06:46,583 --> 01:06:48,957
that Pearl or William
ever sold the ring back to Carl.
1835
01:06:49,041 --> 01:06:51,124
He said his grandfather
never bought jewelry back,
1836
01:06:51,208 --> 01:06:53,542
but he referred people
to a dealer here.
1837
01:06:54,792 --> 01:06:55,917
It shouldn't be much further.
1838
01:06:57,834 --> 01:06:59,000
I don't think
Scott should sell the store.
1839
01:07:01,625 --> 01:07:03,207
Seeing the place
all decorated again,
1840
01:07:03,291 --> 01:07:04,708
and seeing what it's like
when people gather there,
1841
01:07:04,792 --> 01:07:06,041
talking about
1842
01:07:06,125 --> 01:07:06,916
all these amazing things
we could do to the place--
1843
01:07:07,000 --> 01:07:08,291
I kind of feel like...
1844
01:07:08,375 --> 01:07:09,583
I don't know, I feel like
maybe we gave up too soon.
1845
01:07:11,208 --> 01:07:12,249
Well, I hope
me doing this article
1846
01:07:12,333 --> 01:07:14,458
hasn't thrown
a wrench in anything.
1847
01:07:14,542 --> 01:07:16,541
Are you kidding?
1848
01:07:16,625 --> 01:07:18,541
You writing this article
was a good thing.
1849
01:07:18,625 --> 01:07:20,207
I mean, I've never felt
this close to my grandparents
1850
01:07:20,291 --> 01:07:22,041
or to Scott.
1851
01:07:22,125 --> 01:07:24,124
Um, speaking of this article,
1852
01:07:24,208 --> 01:07:27,291
there's something
I need to talk to you about.
1853
01:07:27,375 --> 01:07:28,249
Okay.
1854
01:07:28,333 --> 01:07:29,708
Okay...
1855
01:07:29,792 --> 01:07:32,041
Um...
1856
01:07:32,125 --> 01:07:35,166
I promise this article
is not going to be about you,
1857
01:07:35,250 --> 01:07:37,625
but I might
have to use your name.
1858
01:07:39,083 --> 01:07:42,374
You've been such a big part
of my experience here,
1859
01:07:42,458 --> 01:07:44,709
and it might be weird
if I used a pseudonym for you.
1860
01:07:46,208 --> 01:07:48,208
But I won't
if you're not okay with it.
1861
01:07:51,166 --> 01:07:53,541
No, it's okay.
1862
01:07:53,625 --> 01:07:54,458
I get it.
1863
01:07:54,542 --> 01:07:56,374
I mean, they're my grandparents.
1864
01:07:56,458 --> 01:07:57,542
It makes sense.
1865
01:07:58,583 --> 01:07:59,833
Just... you know,
1866
01:07:59,917 --> 01:08:03,291
maybe don't mention
that I'm "that" Michael Jones.
1867
01:08:03,375 --> 01:08:04,458
Right.
1868
01:08:04,542 --> 01:08:05,833
I'm just getting to that point
1869
01:08:05,917 --> 01:08:06,791
where I feel like I've put
all that all behind me.
1870
01:08:06,875 --> 01:08:08,833
Of course.
1871
01:08:08,917 --> 01:08:11,541
Thank you.
1872
01:08:11,625 --> 01:08:13,458
I think this might be it.
1873
01:08:13,542 --> 01:08:14,374
Oh.
1874
01:08:14,458 --> 01:08:15,416
Should we go take a look?
1875
01:08:15,500 --> 01:08:16,333
- Yeah.
- Okay.
1876
01:08:17,542 --> 01:08:19,166
Merry Christmas.
1877
01:08:19,250 --> 01:08:20,750
Can I help you find anything?
1878
01:08:20,834 --> 01:08:22,416
Hi. Um...
1879
01:08:22,500 --> 01:08:23,750
This may sound a little bizarre,
1880
01:08:23,834 --> 01:08:26,625
but I'm wondering
if this engagement ring I found
1881
01:08:26,709 --> 01:08:31,041
may have come through here
around 1954.
1882
01:08:31,125 --> 01:08:32,333
We definitely
don't have records
1883
01:08:32,417 --> 01:08:34,374
going back that far,
1884
01:08:34,458 --> 01:08:35,957
but my great uncle
has worked here forever.
1885
01:08:36,041 --> 01:08:36,916
Maybe he could help?
1886
01:08:37,000 --> 01:08:38,416
Is he here?
1887
01:08:38,500 --> 01:08:39,750
No, he's retired,
1888
01:08:39,834 --> 01:08:41,916
but he loves when I call him
from the store.
1889
01:08:42,000 --> 01:08:43,416
If you guys have a second?
1890
01:08:43,500 --> 01:08:45,041
Yeah, sure.
That would be great.
1891
01:08:47,875 --> 01:08:49,999
[phone rings]
1892
01:08:50,083 --> 01:08:52,750
Cady my dear,
you need help pricing an item?
1893
01:08:52,834 --> 01:08:53,708
No, actually,
1894
01:08:53,792 --> 01:08:54,708
there's this couple
1895
01:08:54,792 --> 01:08:56,166
who's got a question
1896
01:08:56,250 --> 01:08:57,583
about a ring
we may have bought
1897
01:08:57,667 --> 01:08:59,417
a long time ago?
1898
01:09:00,750 --> 01:09:02,124
Hi.
1899
01:09:02,208 --> 01:09:03,999
I'm trying to trace
the history of this ring,
1900
01:09:04,083 --> 01:09:05,249
and I wanted to know
1901
01:09:05,333 --> 01:09:06,957
if it was sold to you
in the early 1950s?
1902
01:09:07,041 --> 01:09:09,041
I know it's a long shot,
1903
01:09:09,125 --> 01:09:11,041
but this one has
a very unique inscription.
1904
01:09:12,750 --> 01:09:15,041
"Forever My Christmas Love,
1948."
1905
01:09:16,458 --> 01:09:17,667
You found it!
1906
01:09:19,542 --> 01:09:22,166
I've been keeping my eyes
peeled for that ring for years!
1907
01:09:22,250 --> 01:09:23,124
A woman came in--
1908
01:09:23,208 --> 01:09:24,166
gosh,
1909
01:09:24,250 --> 01:09:27,957
must have been 65 years ago.
1910
01:09:28,041 --> 01:09:29,291
Said she had sold it to us
1911
01:09:29,375 --> 01:09:30,625
to keep
her husband's business afloat.
1912
01:09:32,333 --> 01:09:34,333
Broke my heart when I told her
it was already gone.
1913
01:09:34,417 --> 01:09:35,708
She must have come back for it
1914
01:09:35,792 --> 01:09:38,041
after the store
started doing well.
1915
01:09:38,125 --> 01:09:39,458
At different times
in their lives,
1916
01:09:39,542 --> 01:09:41,458
they both sacrificed
what was most important to them
1917
01:09:41,542 --> 01:09:42,708
for their love.
1918
01:09:42,792 --> 01:09:44,583
They knew that being together,
1919
01:09:44,667 --> 01:09:46,791
following their dreams,
1920
01:09:46,875 --> 01:09:48,083
meant more than a ring.
1921
01:09:52,834 --> 01:09:53,959
After you.
1922
01:09:57,125 --> 01:09:58,250
Oh, looking good, bro.
1923
01:10:01,500 --> 01:10:02,291
I don't think we should sell.
1924
01:10:03,250 --> 01:10:04,291
You don't?
1925
01:10:04,375 --> 01:10:06,499
I've been thinking a lot
about your ideas,
1926
01:10:06,583 --> 01:10:08,499
and you're right,
1927
01:10:08,583 --> 01:10:09,791
with some changes,
1928
01:10:09,875 --> 01:10:11,041
this store
could be viable again.
1929
01:10:11,125 --> 01:10:12,374
I mean, Grandma and Grandpa
1930
01:10:12,458 --> 01:10:14,041
put so much of themselves
into this place.
1931
01:10:14,125 --> 01:10:16,583
They left it behind for us.
1932
01:10:16,667 --> 01:10:19,541
Selling would kind of feel like
losing them all over again.
1933
01:10:19,625 --> 01:10:20,999
I agree.
1934
01:10:21,083 --> 01:10:23,082
I think this place could
really be something unique.
1935
01:10:23,166 --> 01:10:24,458
Listen, I'd love to show you
1936
01:10:24,542 --> 01:10:25,666
some of the modifications
I made to the blueprints.
1937
01:10:25,750 --> 01:10:27,499
- Yeah. Let's do it.
- [Michael] Yeah?
1938
01:10:27,583 --> 01:10:29,041
We just have to get to
the newspaper Christmas party.
1939
01:10:29,125 --> 01:10:30,207
Right.
1940
01:10:30,291 --> 01:10:31,249
We'll talk later?
1941
01:10:31,333 --> 01:10:32,750
I'm looking forward to it, bro.
1942
01:10:34,333 --> 01:10:35,291
- Me too.
- All right.
1943
01:10:35,375 --> 01:10:36,541
Bye.
1944
01:10:36,625 --> 01:10:37,917
- Bye.
- Bye.
1945
01:10:40,667 --> 01:10:42,416
Thank you.
1946
01:10:42,500 --> 01:10:43,750
- For what?
- For everything.
1947
01:10:43,834 --> 01:10:45,000
None of this would have
happened without you.
1948
01:10:46,625 --> 01:10:48,083
You really reconnected us
to our legacy.
1949
01:10:51,709 --> 01:10:52,791
What are you doing?
1950
01:10:52,875 --> 01:10:55,249
Well, with my article
being due tonight,
1951
01:10:55,333 --> 01:10:56,458
I want to be able to say
1952
01:10:56,542 --> 01:10:58,041
I returned the ring
to the family in the end.
1953
01:11:04,667 --> 01:11:06,041
Hey, um...
1954
01:11:07,500 --> 01:11:08,709
Would you like come to
the Christmas Eve dance with me?
1955
01:11:10,458 --> 01:11:11,416
I mean,
with the article finished,
1956
01:11:11,500 --> 01:11:12,666
I figure...
1957
01:11:12,750 --> 01:11:13,959
it wouldn't be
a conflict of interest anymore.
1958
01:11:16,375 --> 01:11:18,124
I would love to go with you.
1959
01:11:18,208 --> 01:11:20,166
- Great.
- Great.
1960
01:11:20,250 --> 01:11:22,166
Now, um...
1961
01:11:22,250 --> 01:11:23,499
- I'd better go finish writing.
- Uh, yeah.
1962
01:11:23,583 --> 01:11:24,625
Oh, yeah.
Thank you.
1963
01:11:24,709 --> 01:11:25,875
Bye.
1964
01:11:25,959 --> 01:11:27,041
Goodbye.

01:11:35,250 --> 01:11:37,082
Hey.
1967
01:11:37,166 --> 01:11:38,416
Just calling
to see how it's going.
1968
01:11:38,500 --> 01:11:39,833
It's going.
1969
01:11:39,917 --> 01:11:41,916
I mean,
I have the perfect ending.
1970
01:11:42,000 --> 01:11:43,666
Are you doing
the article you want
1971
01:11:43,750 --> 01:11:45,625
or the one Linda wants?
1972
01:11:45,709 --> 01:11:48,374
I'm doing the article
on The Christmas Ring,
1973
01:11:48,458 --> 01:11:49,875
and what true love really takes.
1974
01:11:50,917 --> 01:11:52,458
- I admire you.
- Thanks.
1975
01:11:53,875 --> 01:11:55,458
I'm hoping the words
speak for themselves.
1976
01:11:55,542 --> 01:11:56,791
Can't wait to read it.
1977
01:11:56,875 --> 01:11:58,041
Talk soon.
1978
01:12:02,000 --> 01:12:02,875
[knocking on door]
1979
01:12:02,959 --> 01:12:04,375
Come in.
1980
01:12:06,000 --> 01:12:07,750
Thought you could use
some nourishment.
1981
01:12:07,834 --> 01:12:09,208
You're too kind.
1982
01:12:10,667 --> 01:12:13,291
I'm so glad you found out
what happened to the ring.
1983
01:12:13,375 --> 01:12:15,166
And I'm sure Michael and Scott
are glad, too.
1984
01:12:15,250 --> 01:12:16,750
I'm glad I could return it.
1985
01:12:16,834 --> 01:12:17,957
Maybe someday,
1986
01:12:18,041 --> 01:12:19,249
somebody will find
your mom's ring
1987
01:12:19,333 --> 01:12:20,957
and they'll return it to you.
1988
01:12:21,041 --> 01:12:23,041
Maybe,
1989
01:12:23,125 --> 01:12:26,416
but I realized
I wanted the ring back so bad
1990
01:12:26,500 --> 01:12:27,709
because I wanted my mom back.
1991
01:12:28,917 --> 01:12:30,875
But the truth is,
1992
01:12:30,959 --> 01:12:33,875
I don't need a piece of jewelry
to have my mom with me.
1993
01:12:33,959 --> 01:12:36,291
As long as I hold her
in my heart and my memories,
1994
01:12:36,375 --> 01:12:38,124
she's always with me.
1995
01:12:38,208 --> 01:12:41,249
Maybe the search for it
was all I needed.
1996
01:12:41,333 --> 01:12:44,291
After all, it led me here
and it led me to--
1997
01:12:47,417 --> 01:12:48,667
The story.
1998
01:12:51,125 --> 01:12:52,750
Well, I'll let you
get back to it.

[phone buzzes]

[Sarah] I'm so sorry, Kendra.
2003
01:13:29,458 --> 01:13:30,666
Linda ruined it.
2004
01:13:30,750 --> 01:13:32,374
Your version
was so much better.
2005
01:13:32,458 --> 01:13:33,333
Call me.
2006
01:13:41,208 --> 01:13:42,458
No, no, no, no, no.
2007
01:13:46,208 --> 01:13:47,750
This isn't my article.
2008
01:13:47,834 --> 01:13:50,333
Oh, no! This is all wrong!

2010
01:14:03,625 --> 01:14:04,542
Michael.
2011
01:14:07,291 --> 01:14:08,124
You lied to me.
2012
01:14:08,208 --> 01:14:09,916
No.
2013
01:14:10,000 --> 01:14:12,583
Michael, my boss did this.
2014
01:14:12,667 --> 01:14:14,499
She took my words
and she twisted them.
2015
01:14:14,583 --> 01:14:15,999
You made me believe
2016
01:14:16,083 --> 01:14:18,041
that you were writing this story
about true love...
2017
01:14:19,250 --> 01:14:22,291
about how love
takes sacrifice and risk...
2018
01:14:24,000 --> 01:14:25,458
and instead, you used me.
2019
01:14:26,500 --> 01:14:27,750
You have to believe me.
2020
01:14:27,834 --> 01:14:29,583
This isn't what I wanted.
2021
01:14:29,667 --> 01:14:30,750
This isn't what I wrote.
2022
01:14:30,834 --> 01:14:32,249
You should leave.
2023
01:14:32,333 --> 01:14:33,709
Michael.
2024
01:14:35,208 --> 01:14:36,083
I need you to leave.

2026

Kendra!
2027
01:14:49,709 --> 01:14:52,041
You completely changed it.
2028
01:14:53,750 --> 01:14:54,833
I colored it up a bit,
2029
01:14:54,917 --> 01:14:56,416
but that's my job.
2030
01:14:56,500 --> 01:14:57,708
I'm your editor.
2031
01:14:57,792 --> 01:14:59,791
Your article is good,
2032
01:14:59,875 --> 01:15:01,374
but the heartbreak
of a man licking his wounds
2033
01:15:01,458 --> 01:15:02,583
after losing it all
2034
01:15:02,667 --> 01:15:03,999
to an ex who falls in love
with someone else
2035
01:15:04,083 --> 01:15:05,499
is way more juicy.
2036
01:15:05,583 --> 01:15:07,333
I told him it wasn't about him.
2037
01:15:07,417 --> 01:15:08,666
Well, it was
his grandma's ring,
2038
01:15:08,750 --> 01:15:09,957
he was part of the story
the whole time.
2039
01:15:10,041 --> 01:15:10,957
I'm sure he knew that.
2040
01:15:11,041 --> 01:15:11,999
No, he didn't.
2041
01:15:12,083 --> 01:15:13,124
I know you want to write
2042
01:15:13,208 --> 01:15:15,291
these articles
on the human experience
2043
01:15:15,375 --> 01:15:16,541
and meaningful moments,
2044
01:15:16,625 --> 01:15:19,916
but I want to sell ad space,
2045
01:15:20,000 --> 01:15:21,666
and that's where Quizzer is
at the moment.
2046
01:15:21,750 --> 01:15:23,291
Now, I gave you a chance,
it just didn't work.
2047
01:15:24,709 --> 01:15:26,291
You're right.
2048
01:15:26,375 --> 01:15:27,625
Well, good, I'm glad
we're on the same page.
2049
01:15:27,709 --> 01:15:29,917
You're right
that this isn't working.
2050
01:15:31,875 --> 01:15:34,708
I've been so scared
to leave this place
2051
01:15:34,792 --> 01:15:37,999
and lose out
on a good-paying job,
2052
01:15:38,083 --> 01:15:40,792
but I love to write about
what actually matters...
2053
01:15:42,709 --> 01:15:43,709
and sometimes...
2054
01:15:46,625 --> 01:15:48,666
real love takes sacrifice.
2055
01:15:48,750 --> 01:15:50,125
What are you getting at?
2056
01:15:52,583 --> 01:15:53,667
I quit.

Please, please, pick up.
2059

Kendra, hi.
2060
01:16:09,000 --> 01:16:10,999
Trish, I'm so glad you answered.
2061
01:16:11,083 --> 01:16:13,082
I have been thinking
about you non-stop.
2062
01:16:13,166 --> 01:16:14,207
You're not mad at me?
2063
01:16:14,291 --> 01:16:15,124
Look, call it
journalistic intuition,
2064
01:16:15,208 --> 01:16:16,708
but I don't think you had
2065
01:16:16,792 --> 01:16:17,708
anything to do
with that article.
2066
01:16:17,792 --> 01:16:19,957
I wish Michael understood that.
2067
01:16:20,041 --> 01:16:21,875
I know, I tried, I did.
2068
01:16:21,959 --> 01:16:24,416
He's...
he's just too upset right now.
2069
01:16:24,500 --> 01:16:25,666
None of this would have happened
2070
01:16:25,750 --> 01:16:27,124
if I hadn't interrupted
his life.
2071
01:16:27,208 --> 01:16:28,416
Perhaps,
2072
01:16:28,500 --> 01:16:30,416
but you brought
Michael and Scott together,
2073
01:16:30,500 --> 01:16:32,625
and you reconnected them
to William and Pearl.
2074
01:16:32,709 --> 01:16:34,750
I want to make this right,
but I need your help.
2075
01:16:34,834 --> 01:16:36,249
How can I help?
2076
01:16:36,333 --> 01:16:37,708
Would the Pine Grove Gazette
2077
01:16:37,792 --> 01:16:39,875
run the real story
of The Christmas Ring?
2078
01:16:39,959 --> 01:16:40,999
The one I wrote?
2079
01:16:41,083 --> 01:16:42,708
We would be honored.
2080
01:16:42,792 --> 01:16:44,541
Okay, I need
to make some changes,
2081
01:16:44,625 --> 01:16:45,833
but I will send it
to you tonight.
2082
01:16:45,917 --> 01:16:46,875
Great.
2083
01:16:46,959 --> 01:16:48,291
I'll make it
front page tomorrow,
2084
01:16:48,375 --> 01:16:49,583
just in time for the dance.
2085
01:16:49,667 --> 01:16:50,834
Thank you.

[Kendra]
My dad proposed to my mom
2087
01:16:56,125 --> 01:16:57,957
with a ring that had been
passed down in his family
2088
01:16:58,041 --> 01:16:59,375
for four generations.
2089
01:17:01,291 --> 01:17:02,750
I know this
2090
01:17:02,834 --> 01:17:04,207
because when I was little,
2091
01:17:04,291 --> 01:17:05,666
I used to sit
on my mother's lap
2092
01:17:05,750 --> 01:17:07,291
and turn the ring
around and around
2093
01:17:07,375 --> 01:17:08,791
while she told me
2094
01:17:08,875 --> 01:17:10,208
that they were blessed
with the legacy of love.
2095
01:17:14,125 --> 01:17:16,124
After my mom passed away,
2096
01:17:16,208 --> 01:17:17,541
my dad held onto the ring,
2097
01:17:17,625 --> 01:17:19,000
promising
it would be mine one day.
2098
01:17:20,625 --> 01:17:22,791
Last year, he joined my mom,
2099
01:17:22,875 --> 01:17:25,250
and I was left
with a hole in my heart.
2100
01:17:28,500 --> 01:17:30,333
A few weeks after his funeral,
2101
01:17:30,417 --> 01:17:31,750
I realized
I hadn't seen the ring
2102
01:17:31,834 --> 01:17:34,082
in any of my father's things.
2103
01:17:34,166 --> 01:17:35,333
It was gone,
2104
01:17:35,417 --> 01:17:36,666
and it felt
2105
01:17:36,750 --> 01:17:37,750
like I lost them both
all over again.
2106
01:17:39,417 --> 01:17:42,124
So I made sure to check
every antique shop I passed,
2107
01:17:42,208 --> 01:17:43,666
but time and time again,
2108
01:17:43,750 --> 01:17:45,417
my search turned up short.
2109
01:17:46,667 --> 01:17:48,957
That was until two weeks ago,
2110
01:17:49,041 --> 01:17:51,416
when I found
someone else's engagement ring
2111
01:17:51,500 --> 01:17:53,041
at an antique market in Boston.
2112
01:17:54,625 --> 01:17:56,666
The ring was stunning,
2113
01:17:56,750 --> 01:17:59,124
and the inscription inside
moved me.
2114
01:17:59,208 --> 01:18:00,875
I had to know the story
behind this ring.
2115
01:18:02,166 --> 01:18:03,999
And so I began my quest,
2116
01:18:04,083 --> 01:18:06,082
and it led me
to Pine Grove, Massachusetts,
2117
01:18:06,166 --> 01:18:08,833
a town so full
of Christmas magic,
2118
01:18:08,917 --> 01:18:10,208
I felt like a kid again.
2119
01:18:12,750 --> 01:18:13,999
William Jones
2120
01:18:14,083 --> 01:18:15,541
worked on the railroad
in Pine Grove
2121
01:18:15,625 --> 01:18:17,374
and was saving up
to open up his dream store,
2122
01:18:17,458 --> 01:18:19,166
but in 1947,
2123
01:18:19,250 --> 01:18:22,124
at the Main Street Festival's
Christmas Eve dance,
2124
01:18:22,208 --> 01:18:23,499
his plans changed
2125
01:18:23,583 --> 01:18:24,750
when he met
2126
01:18:24,834 --> 01:18:27,499
a beautiful debutante
named Pearl.
2127
01:18:27,583 --> 01:18:29,333
Although they were
from different worlds,
2128
01:18:29,417 --> 01:18:30,333
the two quickly fell in love.
2129
01:18:32,166 --> 01:18:34,207
He decided
to put his dream on hold
2130
01:18:34,291 --> 01:18:35,583
and order a very special
2131
01:18:35,667 --> 01:18:37,709
custom engagement ring
for Pearl.
2132
01:18:41,166 --> 01:18:42,833
Not one to wait,
2133
01:18:42,917 --> 01:18:46,041
William soon took out a loan
and began building the store,
2134
01:18:46,125 --> 01:18:47,999
but as most businesses do,
2135
01:18:48,083 --> 01:18:50,041
it struggled
in the first couple of years
2136
01:18:50,125 --> 01:18:51,249
and William and Pearl
2137
01:18:51,333 --> 01:18:52,375
were in danger
of losing it all.
2138
01:18:54,125 --> 01:18:55,708
So Pearl did
the only thing she could do
2139
01:18:55,792 --> 01:18:58,416
to help keep
her love's dream alive--
2140
01:18:58,500 --> 01:18:59,750
she sold the ring.
2141
01:19:03,875 --> 01:19:06,791
The Jones General Store
is still in the family,
2142
01:19:06,875 --> 01:19:09,833
owned by William and Pearl's
grandsons, Scott and Michael.
2143
01:19:09,917 --> 01:19:12,374
Even they didn't know
the story behind the ring,
2144
01:19:12,458 --> 01:19:13,583
but, together,
2145
01:19:13,667 --> 01:19:15,124
we discovered
2146
01:19:15,208 --> 01:19:17,791
that it was so much more
than a circle of gold,
2147
01:19:17,875 --> 01:19:19,916
it was a symbol of family,
2148
01:19:20,000 --> 01:19:21,625
of sacrifice,
2149
01:19:21,709 --> 01:19:23,291
and, above all...
2150
01:19:23,375 --> 01:19:24,583
a symbol of true love.
2151
01:19:27,125 --> 01:19:29,416
While uncovering the story
behind the ring,
2152
01:19:29,500 --> 01:19:31,375
I started to fall in love
with Michael.
2153
01:19:33,500 --> 01:19:36,333
I realized it was time
to take a risk,
2154
01:19:36,417 --> 01:19:38,917
time to quit my job
and follow my own path.
2155
01:19:42,125 --> 01:19:43,583
So here I am now,
2156
01:19:43,667 --> 01:19:46,583
sharing the true story
of the Christmas Ring,
2157
01:19:46,667 --> 01:19:50,041
a story I didn't realize
I had become a part of.
2158
01:19:53,834 --> 01:19:55,166
That is why I'll be
2159
01:19:55,250 --> 01:19:56,750
at the Pine Grove
Christmas Eve dance,
2160
01:19:56,834 --> 01:19:59,207
where Pearl and William
first met,
2161
01:19:59,291 --> 01:20:00,916
and I'll be there
waiting for Michael,
2162
01:20:01,000 --> 01:20:03,166
in the hopes that he feels
the same way
2163
01:20:03,250 --> 01:20:04,708
and can see that even though
2164
01:20:04,792 --> 01:20:06,124
I went to Pine Grove
2165
01:20:06,208 --> 01:20:08,625
looking for answers
about a stranger's ring,
2166
01:20:08,709 --> 01:20:09,957
what I found
2167
01:20:10,041 --> 01:20:11,542
was the missing piece
to my own heart.
2168
01:20:15,166 --> 01:20:19,417
[♪]
2169
01:20:24,500 --> 01:20:25,583
Hi.
2170
01:20:25,667 --> 01:20:26,666
It was a lovely article.
2171
01:20:26,750 --> 01:20:28,458
Thank you.
2172
01:20:28,542 --> 01:20:29,666
I hope everyone feels that way.
2173
01:20:29,750 --> 01:20:31,291
Have faith.
2174
01:20:31,375 --> 01:20:32,625
I'll try.
2175
01:20:38,375 --> 01:20:39,291
Any sign of him?
2176
01:20:39,375 --> 01:20:40,499
I tried calling.
2177
01:20:40,583 --> 01:20:41,499
There's still time.
2178
01:20:41,583 --> 01:20:42,541
Whatever happens,
2179
01:20:42,625 --> 01:20:44,499
I want to thank you both
so much,
2180
01:20:44,583 --> 01:20:46,041
for everything.
2181
01:20:46,125 --> 01:20:48,000
No, Kendra, thank you.
2182
01:20:49,291 --> 01:20:50,124
I'm going to go get us
some cider?
2183
01:20:50,208 --> 01:20:51,208
Okay.
2184
01:20:53,583 --> 01:20:54,792
I'll have another look around.
2185
01:21:05,166 --> 01:21:10,833
[♪]
2186
01:21:10,917 --> 01:21:13,291
You look beautiful.
2187
01:21:13,375 --> 01:21:15,541
Michael, I'm so sorry.
I should have--
2188
01:21:15,625 --> 01:21:17,041
No, no. I'm sorry.
2189
01:21:17,125 --> 01:21:18,834
I should have believed you.
2190
01:21:20,375 --> 01:21:25,249
[♪]
2191
01:21:25,333 --> 01:21:26,834
Would you like to dance?
2192
01:21:31,333 --> 01:21:34,125
[♪]
2193
01:21:42,000 --> 01:21:44,207
So is it true
you walked away from Quizzer?
2194
01:21:44,291 --> 01:21:46,124
I did.
2195
01:21:46,208 --> 01:21:48,124
I decided to take you up
on your suggestion
2196
01:21:48,208 --> 01:21:50,791
of starting
my own online magazine,
2197
01:21:50,875 --> 01:21:53,207
strictly human-interest pieces,
2198
01:21:53,291 --> 01:21:55,041
like "The Christmas Ring."
2199
01:21:56,625 --> 01:21:57,708
I think that's a great idea.
2200
01:21:57,792 --> 01:22:00,750
Have you decided
where will your offices be?
2201
01:22:00,834 --> 01:22:02,333
Right now?
2202
01:22:02,417 --> 01:22:03,625
Out of my apartment in Boston.
2203
01:22:05,041 --> 01:22:07,124
That is a funny coincidence.
2204
01:22:07,208 --> 01:22:09,999
I'm actually
moving to Boston soon.
2205
01:22:10,083 --> 01:22:11,125
You are?
2206
01:22:13,041 --> 01:22:14,207
You know,
redesigning the store
2207
01:22:14,291 --> 01:22:16,041
completely inspired me.
2208
01:22:16,125 --> 01:22:18,082
I'm starting a new firm.
2209
01:22:18,166 --> 01:22:20,166
One that focuses on
taking buildings of the past
2210
01:22:20,250 --> 01:22:21,500
and updating them
for the future.
2211
01:22:22,583 --> 01:22:25,124
It's gonna be a brand-new start.
2212
01:22:25,208 --> 01:22:27,124
And what better place
for both of our goals
2213
01:22:27,208 --> 01:22:29,041
than Boston?
2214
01:22:29,125 --> 01:22:31,541
What about Pine Grove?
2215
01:22:31,625 --> 01:22:33,583
It's not too far.
2216
01:22:33,667 --> 01:22:36,666
It's where I'll spend
my weekends...
2217
01:22:36,750 --> 01:22:38,000
and you can join me
if you want to.
2218
01:22:39,458 --> 01:22:41,250
After all,
you're a part of the story now.
2219
01:22:43,583 --> 01:22:46,207
Which is why, I think
2220
01:22:46,291 --> 01:22:49,166
Pearl...
2221
01:22:49,250 --> 01:22:50,875
would want you
to hold on to this.
2222
01:22:57,834 --> 01:22:59,166
May I?
2223
01:22:59,250 --> 01:23:00,417
Yes.
