I am your rock.

I am your rock.

I am your island.

I am your island.

I am the echo
of your courage.

Luke!

I am the echo
of your courage.

Luke. Come echo
my courage in here.

I can't get my socks on.

Coming, hon.

Hey!

Oh! I was just, uh--

Doing the same thing you've
been doing every morning

for the past
eight and a half months.

Babe...

Prepared is my middle name.

Everett is your middle name.

Well, Luke Prepared Everett
Brenner is going to be

the best father of three
you ever did see.

With toothpaste on his T.

We have less than a month
before these twins arrive.

All I want is
a nice, relaxing day.

Yes.

- Go to the parent group.
- Mhm.

- Maybe a coffee.
- Mmhmm.

Do a little shopping.

You got it.

And I have
the entire day organized.

- Wow.
- Yeah.

Life is about to get
very busy around here.

I just want to make sure that
everything is under control.

This Christmas
Mighty Mech

with over 150 unique
robotic functions.

Dad, you have to see this.

It's the one
I was talking about.

It's too loud, bud.

You're not even looking.

It's super cool.
Cool buddy.

But we gotta go.

No throwing.

Can we go sledding?

No, we can't go sledding.
We're late.

Get your socks on.

You promised.

I know, and we will.

Mom and dad have
baby stuff planned this morning.

But Gigi is all alone
with Roy out of town

and has an entire day of fun
stuff planned for you, okay?

Rock and roll.

Pointy.

Less pointy.

Pointy.

Less pointy.

Pointy. Less pointy.

I don't know.

So...

neither.

For now.

Okay.

Let's put a pin
in silverware for now.

And while we also debate, place
settings, flowers, vendors,

venue, DJ, and questions like:

Why am I even here
in the first place?

Let's aim for something simple
like cake.

Oh, great.

Do you want to go traditional
like chocolate?

Yummy.

Or vanilla?

Or maybe something
a little more fun,

like pistachio or funfetti?

Oh.

I'm fun.

I like fun.
Let's do fun.

- Great.
- That was easy.

Although, now that
I think about it

I'm- I'm just
wondering if maybe.

Oh, it's just Dad.
I'll call him back.

You were-
you were wondering.

Uh, yeah.
No, I was just--

I was wondering if--

Stephan. Cake. Focus.

Yes, cake.

Do you need to get that?

No.
He just- he does this.

He calls until I pick up.

It's his way
of saying I love you.

Oh, he must really love you.

Maybe we take a break.

Yes.

No, no breaks.
Cake, we need cake.

Any cake!

All right, you know what?

I think maybe this just isn't
the best environment

to be making
huge decisions like cake.

You know, we got phones,

and we haven't
even chosen napkins yet.

This is too orange.

This one's too square.

And that? Is that even
a napkin?

All right.
Maybe we should take a break.

Yeah.

There's something
different about you.

I can't quite put
my finger on it.

You got new ears.

I'm doing a face, you silly.

Oh, you see, I thought
this was just a new look

you were going with.

Now, look, I love you.

He's gonna be back
in a second.

I gotta run.

Wish me luck.

Good luck.

Okay.

It's everything
you ever wanted.

Is he a bit of a strange dude?

Yeah.

Does he have way
too much ankle showing?

Certainly.

This is the big time.

Game face.
Let's do this.

You've been there
for a while, huh?

A little bit, yeah.

This place is insane, Noah.

Silicon Valley, baby.
This is how we do.

So this is the part of
the meeting where I ask,

do you like... money?

We get along.

Good. Because I've got a lot.

What I want,
a foothold in gaming.

What I need,
vision, leadership.

What I'm proposing...

- Fingers.
- Partnership.

That makes more sense.

You. Me. Us.

You would have complete
creative autonomy

with more money
than you can spend.

Well, as awful
as that sounds,

and it does sound awful.

I think I'll be able
to figure it out.

What's the catch?

There's only one.

No suits.

You drive a hard bargain,
Noah.

Oh. You've left.

Imagine this.

Limitless horizon.

Think limitless possibility.

This is yours.

A blank canvas.

Whatever you want.

Starting with
a sick eco smoothie,

oxygen bar to get
the creative juices flowing.

I'm thinking 90-inch
flat screen right here.

Here?

Here, here.

Oh, I didn't realize the
idea was for me to... move.

Synergy, amigo.

Can't fly the plane from
the passenger lounge, right?

We'll get you set up though,
right?

Army of programmers,
massage chairs, cold plunge.

Whatever you need.

You got a family, wife, kid?

Family, yeah.

Girlfriend.

Love of my life.

Problemo.

We haven't really
explored the whole...

move out of state,

start-a-brand-new life
thing yet.

Tricky.

Yeah.

I'll give you some space.

Feel it.

Smell it.

Drink it in.

Airplane, captain, money,
rock star.

That's a lot of nouns.

We also validate parking.

Strange one to end on.

All right.

Twins.

Congratulations.

Mine just turned 26 weeks so...

I speak from experience

when I say I know,
it can seem... daunting.

Not to, uh, prom king
over here.

Seems like he's got
everything under control.

These your first?

We got one, uh, seven.

One is a nap at the beach.

Three is someone left the
gate open at the petting zoo.

Uncontrollable mayhem.

Wait till the babies start
waking up in shifts,

screaming endlessly until
you're so delirious

you can't tell the difference
between the sink and the toilet.

Your lives are about
to change in ways

you're only starting to
realize the chaos is real.

But that's all right, ladies,

because at least we have
help, right?

Wrong.

If your husband
is anything like mine,

he'll become so overwhelmed

his only contribution will be
sitting on a bucket

in the garage, staring blankly
at the wall.

Oh, and birthdays,
anniversaries?

I'm not sure he even
knows we're still married,

but we'll rekindle that
spark someday, won't we, Tom?

It's Tim.

Any questions so far?
Great.

Let's do some breathing.

Such a gift.

You got it.
That's it.

Deeper.

Yeah, you might pee a little.

That's all right.

That was great.

Stephan...

I... love you so much

so I'm gonna say this as
delicately as possible.

I am gonna kill you!

What?

We have been planning this
wedding for six months,

and we are no further along
than when we started.

Well, I know I'm not moving
at light speed,

but, you know, we only
get one shot.

I want it to be perfect.

I think you're focusing
on the wrong things.

April is just around
the corner

and if we don't make
some decisions,

then we're not going
to have a wedding to get wrong.

I think you're just
getting in your own way.

Yep. You're right.

But I can also get
out of my own way.

Heck, I wrote the book on it.

Sure did.

You know what?
I'm gonna take a back seat.

Even better, I'm gonna
get in the trunk.

This is me getting
in the trunk.

Get in the trunk!

Oh, look at me
in the trunk.

I'm just hanging out
in the trunk back here.

Look at all these
linen tablecloths.

I love linen!

Oh, perfect.
Then we're gonna go with linen.

I'm in the driver's seat.

I'm in here.

It's bumpy.

I'm still in the trunk.

Oh!

I love you.

Did you feel that?

No.

What?

Oh.

I felt that.

Not bad, huh?

Fiona?

What are you, uh...

You work here?

Yeah. Six months,
give or take.

What happened to Chicago?

Greener pastures.

It's nice to see you.

You look good.

Did you have something
to do with this?

Just the referral.

Noah's building a team.
I told him you're the best.

And that you would probably
remind him of that every day.

Hm.

Listen, I know the way
I left things was not great.

I hope me being here won't get
in the way of your decision.

A lot to think about.

This is everything
you dreamed about.

Grab it, Taylor.

Uh...

Hey, do me a favor.

Can you tell Noah
that I'll be in touch.

I got a plane to catch.

Tay.

It is, um...

It's really great
to see you.

Yeah.

Okay.

Why?

Why?

Why?

Did you find any paper?

Yep.

So, what should we make now,
a snowflake?

When are my mom
and dad coming?

Oh, soon, soon.

Oh, look at
these booties, huh?

Look at that.

Are you excited about being
a big brother?

Can we do something else?

Oh.

Too much talk
about babies, huh?

Why don't we make a gingerbread
house?

Shouldn't we wait
for everyone else, though?

We always do it together.

Yeah, we do, but
this year, there's-

there's baby planning
and wedding planning.

And Roy is in Spain
with his daughter.

Don't we deserve to have
a little fun ourselves? Huh?

Besides, if we make it now,
then you can eat

all the candy that you want
and I won't tell anyone.

Okay.

Just a moment.

I need your opinion.

Do you think
this is enough candy?

Yes!

Are you okay?

Yeah, yeah.

That meeting was, uh--

Informative, right?

Oh, for sure.

But did it seem like that
lady was a little... off?

She just, you know, painted
a pretty grim picture.

Not everyone's
experience is the same.

No. Of course.

It just seemed like
all that talk of chaos

and forgetting anniversaries

seemed a little
over the top, no?

Sure. I guess.

Oh.

This is the one.

300 bucks for a couple strips
of fabric and a plastic buckle.

Can't just carry them
around in shopping bags.

It would be more economical.

This meeting really
got to you, didn't it?

You know what those other
moms don't have that I do.

Appeal.

A Luke Prepared Everett Brenner,

who's going to be
the best father of three

you ever did see.

You're right.

We got this.

Yes.

Yeah. Get it.

Get two.

We only need one.

But feel free to be
just as generous

when you're shopping
for my anniversary gift.

Okay, babe.

Okay. Yes.

Merry Christmas.

- Well, that was the contractor.
- Mmhmm.

They think it's leaky pipes.

It's gonna take a week to fix.

Oh, you're kidding me?

Well, looks like we're
spending Christmas at mom's.

I will let you take that.

Stephan, you can't
ignore him forever.

I'm not. I just...

I don't think
he likes me very much.

Why on earth would you say that?

Well, the one time
I met him, he said...

"I don't like you very much."

He was joking.

Listen, once you get
to know him better,

you two are gonna be
like this.

Two snakes locked
in a death spiral.

No.

Look, why don't
I finish up here

and you run some stuff
over to your mom's

before this place turns
into a swimming pool.

Okay.

Thank you.

Hi, Daddy.

Is that for me?

Unless you see a bigger dummy.

I'm looking at one.

So how was it?

How'd it go?

Good.

I mean, what did he say?
Does he want to invest?

Partner.

Seriously?

Yeah.

I knew it. I knew it.

What did I--
I told you so.

Babe, this- I mean
this is huge.

I mean, there's still a lot
of details to iron out,

things to discuss.

I'm so proud of you.

You worked so hard for this

and... partnership?

Yeah.

Unreal.

Look...

And I'm double-parked,
so we gotta bust it.

I don't want to get
a ticket.

Okay.

Partnership!

This guy right here!

Oh! Hey, everybody.

Hi.

Finally.

Do you wanna help decorate
the gingerbread house?

- Oh.
- Sure do, bud.

We just, uh, gotta get
your mom off her feet.

Oh. Might have
overdone it a bit.

I'll get you some water.
But how did the class go?

- Very informative.
- Nice.

Wasn't concerning at all.

Great.

Hello.

Hi.

Finally going on
that seniors cruise?

I wish.

No. Crashing temporarily.

We got a leaky ceiling.

Uncle Stephan, can you help me?

Absolutely, buddy.
I'd love to.

- I live for gingerbread--
- Uncle Taylor!

My dude.

Yes.

I can't breathe.

Did you bring me anything?

Uh, I brought myself.
Is that not enough?

I also brought you
a small and expensive drone.

Awesome.

Seriously, Taylor?

That gift is bigger than
what he gets for Christmas.

I missed him.

It creates unrealistic
expectations.

Exactly.

Wait. What are we
all doing here?

- So how did it go?
- Yeah.

- What happened?
- Come on.

Well, why the gingerbread
house is out?

I thought we'd do the
gingerbread house together.

That's what I said.

Is that what he said?

Since when are you
Mr. Gingerbread?

I'm not.

Don't hold out on us.

- How did the meeting go?
- What happened?

It went.

- It went.
- It went?

What does that...?

- Come on.
- Come on.

He wants to partner!

- What?
- He wants to partner.

What does that mean?
What are you talking about?

That's so great.

- What does that look like?
- Spill it, we want the details.

Well...

It's complicated.

Can we talk about the
gingerbread house?

What do you mean,
talk about the gingerbread?

This is incredible!

Thomas.

What have I said
about throwing things?

Ma?

You selling the house?

I was going to talk to you
about it.

This is not exactly the way
I planned to bring it up, but...

yes, I am.

I'm fine.

Honestly. I'm okay.

Well, I've been thinking
about it for a long time,

and, you know,
I love this place,

but it's a lot of house
for one person, so.

Two people.
I'm also in the basement.

And you all are moving on
or will move on.

Going on with your lives.

And it just seems like a smart
time to downsize

so then I'll have money
freed up

for other adventures, you know.

Well, you know what?
I think it's a great idea.

You do?

I do, mom.

Me, too.

If it's what you want, yeah.

Wow. Wow.

No. I thought somebody
was gonna faint or--

No tears, no yelling.

This is-- you're acting
all very grown up.

It's 'cause we are.

Don't do that.

Well, I guess this is the last
family Christmas in the house.

Oh.

Suse, come on in.
Mom's got some big news.

I got some big news
of my own.

Look who drove all the way
from Arizona

to join us for Christmas.

Everyone, this is my dad.

- Hey.
- The more the merrier.

Bob, I can't tell you how happy
we all are to finally meet you.

Stephan has told us about you.

Oh, well...

you look like you've been
hitting the gym

since the last time
we've seen each other, huh?

Oh, no, no, Dad.
That's- that's Luke.

This is my fiancé, Stephan.
Remember?

- Ha.
- Okay.

- Also very strong.
- Of course. Right.

What's in there?

This...

Oh!

That's my friend Jerry.

He's an Australian
Lutino Cockatiel.

Can he talk?

Hello.

Pretty neat, huh?

And he's got a really
good judge of character.

You know, Bob,

I'm a bit of an animal lover
myself, actually.

Hey there, little fella.

Loser.

All right.

Hey. That's my thing.

Dad, you couldn't have
left the bird at home.

You know, over the holidays
with a neighbor or somebody.

Honey...

Jerry and I have spent
all of his Christmases together.

I'd never hear the end of
it if I left him behind.

Besides, him and I need
to get to know

the young man
that my little Susie Bear

will be marrying.

Get the feeling he's been
trying to hide from me.

Hiding? No.

Maybe we should stay
in a hotel.

It's a bit busy here.

With the bird and the ceiling
and the flood and ugh.

Absolutely not.

You will take
the guest house out back.

The guest house?!

That's where- that's-
that's where I-

that's where I would say.

I- I don't want to impose.

Well, don't be silly.
It's Christmas.

We'd love to have you.

It's Christmas.

Stephan, can you help
him with his bags?

And then you can come join us

for some gingerbread
house decorating.

Finally.

You were living here
until when?

Uh, a couple of years ago.

Yeah, yeah.

Pretty common for
your generation, I suppose.

Adults still living
with their moms.

Yeah, still with some
Christmas toys, no less.

Oh, well, I wasn't living
with mom.

This is a free-standing
autonomous dwelling

just it's in her backyard.

You know, by the time
I was 18,

I was training resistance
fighters in northern Somalia.

I was stationed there
on and off

for almost 20 years.

Oh, that's when
he rescued Jerry.

Oh, I actually like to think
that he rescued me, honey.

You know, I didn't even know

those birds could live
that long.

Yeah, up to 30 years.

But only with
the right relationship

and a stable,
loving environment.

I mean, not
every bird is as lucky.

Not every relationship
is right.

You don't have a history
of rodents around here, do you?

Rodents? Uh, no, no.

I mean, unless you count
that giant rat cave in the back.

No, no, no, we don't-
we don't joke about rodents.

We don't joke about rodents.

Dad has a thing about them
from his time in the service.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay, so you get settled

and, um, we'll see you
inside for gingerbread.

Bye Terry.

Jerry.

Jerry.

Do you think that
whole partnership thing

was directed right at me?

No. He was talking to Jerry.

Or was he talking
through Jerry to me.

I think you're
overthinking this.

And also, how come I've
never heard about this bird?

He has a bird.
What's the big deal?

I don't know.

I mean, if my dad had a pet

that was almost older
than I was,

I would like to think that
at some point in our six years

of loving, committed
relationship,

it would come up
in conversation.

- Stephan.
- Yeah.

It's a really great opportunity
for you to get to know my dad.

And I'm getting
in my own way.

Mmhmm.

Okay.

Why don't you get
the luggage out of the way?

Yes, ma'am.

Pretty crazy timing, huh?

What do you mean, Bob?

Yeah, I don't like all that
bird talk to my brother.

No, I mean, you know, your mom
selling this place.

Yeah. Spent my whole...

life here.

Coded my...

first game there.

Put Stephan's head
through the wall... there

during our wrestling phase.

Yeah, this is home.

Babe, you know, we have been
talking about

getting a place together.

If there was ever a sign
from the universe, I mean...

They want me to move
to San Francisco.

Uh, wow.

Like- like you mean,
like, move there, move there.

Yeah. Lots to discuss...
obviously.

A lot of choices to make.

Well, I--

Incoming.

What are you doing?

Basement's ours.

- Since when?
- Since now.

- Says who?
- Says me.

- How is that fair?
- It's not.

- Mom!
- Mom!

Figure it out!

Ah.

What is happening?

Cracked your code.

Hit the road.

All right.

I've got to get to work,
but... to be continued.

Where am I going to sleep?

Thomas...

my man.

Sorry, bud.

You need to make
better life choices.

You're on the floor.

Okay.

Here we go.

Ooh! King's Hawaiian.

Bob, we are so happy
to welcome you to our home.

And pretty soon to the family.

Here, here.

Dig in before it gets cold.

No!

Guests first.

So I understand that you were
in the military.

Uh... Delta Force,
three tours.

- Huh?
- Delta Force?

That's right.

Since, uh, my service ended,

I went into
the industrial tooling.

I forge drill bits.

Um, wedding planning
is coming along.

Is it?

Yeah. I mean, you know, I have
to still formally decide

on a couple of things.

Isn't that breaking tradition,

leaving the bride
to plan the wedding or--

Sure.

Uh, typically, yeah.

Although, you know,

it's actually pretty
normal these days.

This is something you
dreamed about

since you were a little girl.

Surprisingly, yes.

So Mom, is
the house listed yet?

I would also like to know
the answer to that question

given that I still
live here too.

Yes. Yes, the house
has been listed.

It seems fast, but the realtor
tells me that the market's hot,

so it's a good time.

Mom, you have made so many
memories in this home.

I think it's about time we do
the same thing for you, huh?

What do you say, buddy?

Why don't we show Bob here

how the Brenner family
does Christmas?

And if this is going to be
the last Christmas here...

well, then...

let's make it
the best Christmas ever.

Best Christmas ever.

What do you say?
Best Christmas ever.

Uh... best Christmas ever.

Best Christmas ever.

Chief?

The team's getting restless.

They're threatening to make
a wintry display

with the fire extinguishers.

All right. I'll be there
in a minute.

- Mmhmm
- Hernandez?

Hey. Favorite
Christmas memory?

Ooh, I'm a bit of
a caroler myself.

But as a kid,

we used to make Christmas
piñatas full of candy.

Yeah, that was my favorite.

Wrapping paper.

Gotta go.

Yeah.

Last call Bob.
Train's leaving the station.

Come on.

Who doesn't love
Christmas shopping?

Think of it as a great way
to do a little man bonding.

Yeah, I heard that, too.

Please.

- Okay. You know what, sure.
- Great.

I'm not much of a shopper,

but anything
for my little girl.

Hey.

Oh, I have to get some
of that gingerbread tea.

Oh, I forgot my purse.
Can you grab my purse?

Yes.

Hello, Jerry.

Well, I guess you are
pretty cute.

Loser.

You're a loser.

Jerry?

Jerry?

Hey, Jerry.

Oh, no.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
Not good.

Bob!

Uh, wake up.

Hey! Wake up!

Bob, I think you... you probably
want to get back in here.

Jerry. Come on, wake up.

Wake up!

Bob, I think Jerry's maybe
not feeling too good.

Come on! Come on!

Ah!

Okay. Uh...

Bob, a bit of an emergency.

Oh, Jerry, Jerry, Jerry,
Jerry, J--

No!

Charming.

Looks surprisingly
like the ones

by the front door. Mm.

It's the thought that counts.

- Hi.
- Hi.

So I was thinking all night

about your big news
from yesterday,

and I did a little bit
of research,

and, honestly, Taylor, I have
to tell you that I just--

I really think
it could be good for us.

I do, like perfect.

Really.

It's like a big change.

But it's everything
that we've ever wanted.

And there's actually there's
a really good music scene there.

And... check this out.
I found this amazing apartment.

A little expensive,
but that's San Francisco, right?

And look it has everything.

It's next to a park
so we can get a dog.

And cute little kitchen
we'll never cook in.

Wow. See.

This is, um...

This is what?

I just didn't realize
you'd be on board so fast.

Well, why wouldn't I?

This- I mean, this is exactly

what we've been talking
about and--

San Francisco was never
part of the plan, right?

No, but, babe,
this is your dream.

And we've been talking
about next steps.

And here they are, like,
right in front of us, so.

Maybe this job's not the one.

Not the one, but--

What am I missing here?

Because this is exactly
what we've been wanting.

Maybe. Maybe it's not.

Which part?

You mean the job or...

doing this together.

I don't know...

what I... want.

Okay, then.

I- I have no idea
what's happening

- and I really--
- Right. See.

I gotta get back to work.

I have not told any of
my family about this yet.

Of course you haven't.

This really gets
you into the Christmas spirit.

Oh. Luke just sent over
our BCE checklist.

BCE?

Best Christmas ever.

Luke is determined to prove
he can be a super dad.

We've got sledding,
decorating the tree,

- cookies...
- Mmhmm.

-caroling, piñata?

Hi.

I guess we can cross
Santa's visit off the list.

Assuming we get there
before the mall closes.

Keep it snappy, folks.

- Yeah.
- Ma, I need...

Oh, I need you
to stand here with him

while I have mama sit down.

I'm gonna go home
while you guys have lunch.

Get in line.
Stand in line.

- I'm gonna stand in line.
- Thank you, honey.

- Okay.
- Thank you.

Are you excited to see Santa,
Uncle Stephan.

I'm losing my mind.

Uncle Taylor!

What's up T?

Steph, what's on your wish list?
Last altitude.

Hit me.

- Pow!
- Oh.

Hey, just stand in line
for a second, buddy.

Can I talk
to you for a second.

Hey, would you be cool?

I'm cool.

Jerry escaped out the window.

- Okay.
- Tay!

I need you to go to
the house and look for him.

Did he escape or did
you do something stupid

and he got away?

What does it matter?

Well, one's funnier.

I am a dead man.

I have to be here.

But you can go.
No one will miss you.

Oh, wow.
That's flattering.

Not going bird hunting.

I promised T I would be here
for Santa.

It's his turn to go.

Hey, buddy, let's do this.
You ready?

Um...

Nope. Um, no.

I'm afraid Santa
is going on a break.

What break?
There's no break.

There's no break.
Santa doesn't get a break.

Santa magic.
Why does Santa need a break?

What'd you do to the elf?

Nothing. I just--

Look, this young man
has been waiting

for nearly an hour,
all right?

And he needs to get
home soon.

So I would strongly appreciate
if you would ask Santa

to sit right where he is.

Give him a jolly ho ho ho,
and let our little nephew

tell him what
he wants for Christmas.

Please, Mr. Elf, please.

See that?
You can't say no to that.

Fine.

You're a sweet little child.
You may go.

- You got this.
- Make it quick.

What are you doing?

Saving us 20 bucks.

There we go.

Our Christmas obligation to
your child has been fulfilled.

Now, may we go on break?

Is that permissible?
Free of threat, hmm?

Okay. Thank you.
Thank you.

You're welcome.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas, sir.

All right.

Someone's on a naughty list.

Ouch! Oh!

Ah!

Oh.

Ooh!

Right. So how do they differ
from real contractions?

I wasn't sure.

Can somebody play with me?

- Right.
- Shhh.

Mommy's on
the phone, sweetheart.

I'll play with you in just
a little while.

That's great
to hear.

Hey, is everything okay?

Yes.

- Yes?
- Yes.

Was that the doctor?

What'd she say?

Yeah.

I'm fine.

Twins are fine.

Good.

- Just Braxton Hicks.
- Yeah.

Totally normal.

But she wants me off my feet.

Keep these muffins in
a little longer.

Well, that's it.
You're staying here.

All of you
are going to stay here.

There will be someone to watch
you while Luke is working.

Stop it.
What, are you kidding me?

You'll stay in my room.

End of discussion.

Great.

Sleepover.

Well, that was eventful.

That's an understatement.

I think I might just scoot
back over to the--

Jerry!

He's gone.

What?

What do you mean, gone?

As in G-O-N-E.

Yes. Stephan.

As he was here when I left
and now he's... gone.

The window.

Jerry!

Jerry.

God, he's been out
all night, unfamiliar turf.

He's not a cold-weather bird.

If something should happen
to him.

Dad, I'm sure he's gonna
be okay.

He's smart, resourceful.

Remember how
he used to play dead

to get out of his cage.

You don't say.

All right, I'm all set to go.

Who's ready to go sledding?

Oh, you have been so patient,
Thomas,

but I'm afraid you're gonna
have to wait

a little bit longer.

But dad promised we'd go
sledding today.

Oh.

- It's even on the list.
- Yeah.

Uncle Stephan?

Uncle Taylor?

Oh. Sorry, buddy.

We're- we're still
kind of doing

a little detective stuff here.

We'd love to, pal.
Can you give me an hour, though?

Where's the Christmas spirit?

- Barb?
- Yeah.

Do you think that we could open
one of the windows

just in case
he wants to fly back in?

Yes.

- Good idea.
- Yep.

Of course. Yes.

And let me get you
some hot cocoa

to get you warmed up, huh?

No. You know what?
I'm gonna get back out there.

Because odds of finding missing
persons drops 76 percent

in the first 24 hours.

I wonder what it is for birds.

Jerry!

Okay. So where do we start?

We split up,
cover more ground that way.

Oh, I was thinking
if we work together,

we could get to know
each other a little.

You head three clicks south.
I'm gonna go east.

Okay.

- South is that way.
- Right.

You weren't much of a Boy Scout,
were you?

It was mandatory
when I was a kid.

You know, turned boys into men.

Not really much for the outdoors
in general.

I'm allergic to dander, pollen,

cat fur, dog fur,
uh, flowers, snow.

Pretty much everything.

You know, I don't know how
you're still alive.

Jerry!

How far is a click?

You good, Chief?

Yeah. How long have you
been there?

Oh. Long enough.

Just giving my niece and
nephews a little tour.

Guys, say hi to Chief Brenner.

Hi.

What little cuties.

Yeah.

Oh.

Oh, go ahead.

I got it.

You sure, Chief.

Yeah, come on.
Easy-peasy.

Okay.

So... you want
to see the fire trucks?

Yeah!

All right, let's go.

Guys, don't run,
don't run!

Not the red buttons!

Uh, where'd you guys go?

Uh, maybe we shouldn't
put this in here.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no.

Don't- don't- don't-
don't go up there.

Get down here.

Taylor Brenner,
the man, the myth.

You calling with good news?

Should I send the private jet
to come pick you up?

No, no, no, not quite yet.

Listen...

this whole setting up shop
in Silicon Valley thing,

how stuck are we on that?

Non-starter, my man.
I need you here,

boots on the ground,
making magic.

What do we have
to do to close this up?

Tell you what.
You hear that?

It's keys to
an apartment. It's yours.

A signing bonus.

Boom! Let's do this.

The only thing missing
is a yes, baby.

Well, you certainly
make it hard to say no, Noah.

Then don't.

Gonna need
an answer by Christmas.

Don't let me down.

More importantly, Taylor,
don't let yourself down.

Peace out.

I've never seen you
look longingly

at family photos in my life.

I don't think I've ever looked
at a family photo in my life.

Hmm. I got a
trunk full of groceries.

You want to bake some
Christmas cookies

and check it off Luke's list?

Oh. Um...

Yeah.

Yeah, I'd love to.

Oh. It is you.

Huh.

Oh...

Come here. Oh sweetie.

Oh, Taylor.

All right.

Yes.

This is the last of it.

Thank you.

Yes, ma.

- Any luck?
- Nope.

Well, I am making
Christmas cookies.

And Christmas was saved.

What in the world happened
to you?

And why is Thomas with you?

Apparently, he pushed
another kid at the park.

Well, did that kid start it?

It doesn't matter
who started it.

He's absolutely right.

It does not matter
that he started it.

It does.

It's not like you.

No, it's not.

And he's not
very sorry about it either.

So he's going to his room.

No, I'm not.

I beg your pardon?

I don't have a room
here anymore.

Gigi is selling the house.

Oh, well, look, let's just
take a breath here, okay?

You know what I would
really like to do right now?

I would like all of us to
make some Christmas cookies.

Ma. He pushed a kid.

Okay, so he can push some
cookies into the oven.

What does that teach him?

What does any of it teach?

You're not even seeking
to understand.

What?

I'm seeking to understand

why Luke looks like he just came
from a tween music festival.

Oh, yeah.

The lead singer was missing
his fingerless gloves.

You got some he can borrow?

- I do.
- Yeah.

And they give me the power
to do this.

No, no, no, no, no.

Do not put that finger
in my face.

Oh.

You're talking about
these fingers.

Don't.

All day, every day. Bro.

Hey! Don't touch my brother.

Oh, you want to get
chatty, too?

I'm a bit of an animal
guy myself there, Bob.

I am an animal guy.

Jerry, Jerry, he's our man.

If I can't find him,
no one can.

I'm Taylor.

Sometimes, I'm happy.
And sometimes I'm angry.

Knock. It. Off.

Where did Thomas go?

Merry Christmas.
Where do you think?

What kind of an example
are you guys?

Wh- when is he starting fights?

Things are slipping
and that's just with one.

I had three at the fire station
and I about lost my mind.

I don't know how
I'm gonna survive.

Well, you will.
I did.

Dad didn't.

Your dad didn't leave
because he had three kids.

He left because
he gave up on himself.

And that is not anything

any of you will
ever have to worry about.

Because it's not who you are.

You don't give up.

Yes. Three kids can be a lot.

Yes, you will
worry all the time,

three times as much.

But you'll also-

you'll get three times
the love.

You don't give up.

That's it.

Whatever comes at us,
we handle it as a family.

That's who we are.

Got it?

Yeah.

Okay. Good.

'Cause I thought we said
'best Christmas ever'.

And what do we have?
We have a lost bird.

An upset child.

And whatever this is that
you are going through.

And zero Christmas.

We don't even have a tree.

It's on the list.

All right. Okay, everybody...
grab an apron.

Go get Thomas and anyone else
who is in this house,

because we are checking
another thing off the list.

We are making cookies.

And just maybe for
a little while,

we cannot be so grown up.

- Just for a little--
- Ma, Ma!

- Okay, okay.
- Yeah, what?

Just for a little bit.

- Two can play at this game.
- Oh really?

Pa-tah!

Get her!

Sorry. I lost
my patience today, buddy.

It's just been a lot
with everyone around,

and the babies on the way,

and I could have handled
myself better today.

I'm sorry.

Everyone's always busy.

It feels like everyone's
forgotten about me.

Is that what this is about,
Thomas?

That's what you're
worried about?

It's impossible to forget
about you.

You're our whole world.

But you'll have
two more babies to love.

I won't even see you.

You're our first.

Okay, you're the reason
why I'm a dad.

That's yours and mine
and no new babies

will ever take that
away from us, okay?

Hey. I love you a million.

times a billion.

I love you a billion
times a quadrillion.

It's not even a word.

It's a word
if he says it's a word.

What's going on here?

I'm sorry for pushing Eric
at the park

Hey, I'm sorry that you thought
you needed our attention.

Oh, I think we've all been
a little preoccupied

with our own stuff lately.

Yeah. We suck.

What's gonna happen to my room
when Gigi sells the house?

I think Gigi's gonna
get you an even better room.

Mmhmm.

What will happen to yours?

That I am still working on.

You won't go far, will you?

I'll tell you one thing:

You, me, these geniuses,
this is forever.

Yup.

And look, we dropped
the ball, T.

We blew it, okay?

These grumps knew right then
that we'd gotten it wrong.

What made Christmas special

♪ wasn't found in a song. ♪

♪ It was a boy. ♪

Nice.

♪ The most perfect surprise. ♪

♪ Who taught them to love ♪

♪ Was the light
of our lives. ♪

♪ And down in
What Town they say. ♪

♪ These grumps' tiny hearts
grew much larger that day. ♪

What do you say
I play hooky from work tomorrow

and we start crossing
these things off the list?

I got an idea.

Hello?

Milord.

Are you prepared?

Prepared for what?

A game, nay.

A battle.

Forged right here in this
very room when we were your age.

I waited a long time
for this one, boys.

Welcome to...

Medieval...

Christmas.

War.

Chaaaaaarge!

Stab!

As quick as you can
come on out.

Yes!

Oh.

That was awesome.

Yeah.

I love you, bud.

Well, you still haven't told
us what you want for Christmas.

I told Santa.

You don't want to tell us too?

No. Otherwise
it won't come true.

I'm sure that's not
how that works.

It's not how that works,
buddy.

It is.
Trust me, dude.

Trust him, dudes.

So you want to know
what's next on the list?

Charge!

Charge!

Good morning.

Oh, Bob.

- Hi, Bob.
- Hey, Bob.

Good morning, Bob.

Wow!

We're going to pick a tree.

Yeah, we are.

Great.

That is dad's favorite
part of Christmas?

Oh, he loves trekking into the
woods and cutting down a tree.

You should join them.
Yes?

Oh, I would love that.

Uh, yeah. Thank you, sweetie,

but, um,
I think I'll take a pass.

You know what, Bob?

We'll chop one down
in your honor.

We love chopping down trees.

Really?

Mmhmm.

- They love it.
- Yeah.

Especially Stephan.

If trees had nightmares,
they'd be about him.

You- you know that's true.

Yeah. No.
I love chopping trees.

Uh, some-- I'll go out in
the woods sometimes

and just chop them down.

Chop. Just--
That's not true.

I respect nature.

I would never just go
and chop down a living tree.

Son in law?

Son... in awe.

Welcome to the family, Bob.

I think you look cute.

Thanks.

Why did you volunteer us
to chop down a tree?

Because it's cool.
Also, to impress your new dad.

You can always stick around
and explain to him

how you lost his
one and only friend.

What?

Hey, you know what, buddy?

Here, go play with those
for a sec.

Dude!

You lost his bird?

I didn't lose the bird.

It outsmarted him.

It outsmarted--
It didn't outsmart me.

I knew it.

He can never find out. Okay?

I need him to like me.

Does it feel like
he doesn't like me?

Trick question.

Why are you trying
so hard?

Oh, I don't know.
Maybe I'm not great

at the whole father-son
relationship thing

because I've never had a
father-son relationship thing.

Okay. Stop stressing, Stephan.

Well--

Speaking of stress.

When did that go up?

Can we stay focused?

You guys aren't even
torn up about this a little bit.

A tree is not going to
cross itself off the list.

Why don't we just
pull out the fake?

What?

The fake...

for our last Christmas
in the house...

together.

No.

No, it's got to be real.

If you don't want
to chop it down,

then we're gonna do
a pre-cut.

That way, you can still pretend
to be a man.

Offended.

And you can do your unhinged
overcompensating list thing.

Also offended.

And all three of us are going
to go and fix my problem.

Okay.

It's three days
away from Christmas.

- It's gonna be slim pickings.
- Yeah.

What about the guy
who sets up behind the mall?

The Christmas trees,
pets and more guy?

- Yeah.
- Why not?

I'll drive.

Enjoy.

Four children's menus?

Now go.

Using an adorable seven-year-old
to do your bidding.

He is cute.
Is it working?

No.

Plan B.

We would very much like
if you could decorate

Gigi's tree with us
this evening

and forgive
Uncle Taylor for being a...

Dummy.

Oh right, a ginormous dummy.

He added the ginormous part.

It was a choice,
a strong one. I stand by it.

Me too.

Does this mean that he knows
what he wants?

It's a big menu.
Lots of options.

I have some ideas,

but I would love
to hear your...

recommendations.

Okay.

I want to order ice cream.

One ice cream coming up.

Three. Two. One.

- Yes!
- Yay!

Woo-hoo!

You cut that down?

With his bare hands, Bob.

You ever seen this guy
swing an axe?

Rugged. Masculine.
Unnecessarily shirtless.

Okay, that is serious
son-in-law material.

Good job.

You know what?

Not bad.

Not bad at all.

It's fantastic. I love it.
It's beautiful.

It's a beautiful tree.

Can I put up
the ornaments now?

Yes!

Oh, yeah.
Let's go buddy. Come on.

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Jerry!

You came back!

You're safe.

Hey!

And Christmas was saved!

Never gets old.

Come on.

Yeah.

Oh, yes!

This is making out
to be a great Christmas.

Maybe one of the best
Christmases ever.

Jerry, I'm so
happy you're safe.

How did you get
out of your cage?

Stephan?

Uh...

I knew it.

No.

Yeah, I knew it.

Can you really trust a bird?

- Really, Stephan?
- Well...

Rodent.

Well, I don't think name
calling is appropriate.

No, no, no.

Rodent!

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah,
it's in the tree!

Rodent!

It's- it's right there.

I see it! I see it!
I see it!

Why is there a rodent
in the tree!

Get off my table!

Did you see it?

Get it! Get it!

- Thank you.
- Yeah.

Whoa!

It's under the table!

Ow! Ow!

Ah! Ah! It bit me!

It bit me!

It bit me!

I got it.

Christmas is ruined.

This is the worst
Christmas ever.

Buddy.

Wow.

I thought Christmas
at my house was exciting.

Cute guinea pig.

Um...

Babe?

Where is the doctor
with the rabies shot?

Doctor!

Let me make you a little
more comfortable here, Bob.

Sorry.

- Get off.
- Hey.

If it isn't the Brenner boys.

Wouldn't be Christmas
without you.

Doctor MacLaren.

Okay, let me see if I got
this right.

You got attacked by a rat.

A guinea pig.

You got attacked
by a guinea pig.

- Yeah.
- Bit me on the foot.

On the foot.

And you passed out from
seeing a guinea pig.

Fiona.

The guinea pig's name
is Fiona.

Ex-girlfriend,
broke his heart.

Can you not?

Sorry. I'm nervous.
I talk when I'm nervous.

That was your ex-girlfriend?

Plot twist.

I thought she lived in Chicago.

She did, then she moved
to Silicon Valley.

She what?

Would someone please give me
a rabies shot

sometime this century?

So, did you see her
in Silicon Valley?

I didn't see her, see her.

I saw her at the meeting.

What? You what?

Why was she at your meeting?

She works for the company.

She what?!

Are you good?

Look, I didn't realize at the
time that she was the reason

I got the offer to partner,
to move.

To move?
You're moving?

Where was this information
when we were all

sharey-sharey in the driveway.

You want to talk about
sharey-sharey?

Yeah. You want to share,
Stephan?

Not really, no.

Good news, Bob.

You didn't
get bit by anything.

It looks like you stepped
on a Christmas ornament.

I will get you a Band-Aid.

Okay. Is she-

is she the reason why you
don't want to take the job?

Should we examine your head?

Oh, yeah.

He definitely needs
his head examined.

Are you really moving?

Oh. How's your head?
Where's Bob?

They'll live.

It's okay, but I just think I
need to be by myself for a bit.

Like some time--

- By yourself with me?
- No by myself with me.

I just spent the last hour
trying to convince Thomas

that Christmas is not ruined.

It's not ruined.

I mean--

Where's Caroline?

Taylor,
what's going on?

They want me to move there,
and I have until Christmas

to make a decision.

- What?
- Yeah.

But that's three days away.

Yeah.

This is big.

Like this is...

I'm very, very proud of you.

I just didn't realize

I would have to be proud
of you from afar.

Yeah. Neither did I.

Honestly, I think
I've taken you all for granted.

And now that I'm faced with
the idea of losing you, I...

I do not think I can do it.

I've never had the three of you
more than an arm's reach away,

so I don't know.

I don't know if
I like you all grown up.

I take that back. I do.

Yeah?

I like you grown up

just could you do it
a little slower, please?

You know,
this house could change.

The twins, they will come.

Yes, they will.

And Stephan, Bob and the bird,
you'll figure it out.

Taylor, you can move,

but promise me we'll always
have this.

Me and my boys.

Just, you know, keep in touch.

Can we get this Christmas
back on track, please?

I could really use that.

I'm sorry.

Nothing to be sorry for.

Everybody get in.

How's this for...

My back.

Christmas was saved.

Remember last year
when the tree tackled Luke.

I don't.

Remember when mom spent
Christmas at Aunt Louise's

and Thomas got to pick out
his first Christmas tree.

The noble fir is nobler.

I am going to go way back.

Taylor couldn't
have been much more than two.

And Luke always puts
the star on the top of the tree.

Well, Stephan tried once, but
he got dizzy from the heights

and he threw up
all over the tree.

What?

That checks out.

So Luke put Taylor
on his shoulders.

- And Stephan, you spotted them.
- Oh.

Yeah and you could barely-
you could barely reach it.

But you tried really hard

and it really warmed
my heart.

Well, it's a lot of memories.

Yeah.

Well...

Really?

Mmhmm.

Yeah. Okay. Fine.

Yeah.

All right.
All right, here we go.

Brace yourself.

All right.
There he is.

- Reach.
- I'm trying.

Come on.

- Get it up there.
- A little more.

There we go.

Alright. Get him down.
Get him down.

How are we doing, Ma?

Oh. It is perfect.

Perfect.

My Brenner men.
Excellent.

Oh, my gosh,
I wish Roy was here.

Oh, Ma.
We're here.

It's all right.

Oh, I know you are.

- We miss him too, ma.
- Yeah, you do?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

He doesn't...

Where are you?

- Roy's a good guy?
- Yeah.

Yeah.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Good morning.

Morning.

Morning.

Morning, hon.

How's everybody?

Good?

What do you
want to do today, huh?

Ice skating maybe?

Uh...

All right.
Okay. Bad idea.

Um, the Christmas market.

We could do
the Christmas market.

Oh, I don't think so.

- You don't think so?
- Yeah.

Okay. Horse racing. Right?

No. You know what, motorbikes
through a ring of fire?

What's up, guys?

- What?
- What's going on?

You would love it.

Dad. What's this?

Barb, thank you for
your hospitality,

but I'm going to be moving
to a hotel.

Sir, if I could
please say one thing.

Oh, you could, but you
wouldn't change my mind.

Now, this house is a little
more exciting than I'm used to,

so we'll catch up later,
Susie Bear,

Of course.

Enjoy your Christmas.

We will.

Sorry about last night,
uh, about surprising you.

I just thought I'd pop in

and say Merry Christmas
to the family

while I was in town.

Yeah, the old
ex-girlfriend pop in.

Totally normal.

Is your head okay?

Look, three years ago you
disappeared to Chicago.

Ripped my heart out of my chest.

Never heard from you again.

Now you are recruiting me
for a job.

Popping in to say hi.

What's going on here, Fi?

The company is looking for
a strategic partner and...

you're the best.

You are a pain, absolutely,
but the very best there is.

Would you have taken
the meeting

if you knew I was there?

Yeah, I don't know.

What I do know is that I, um,
I've worked very hard

to get to where I am,

and I have also built
a whole new life

that I would very much
like to keep so...

if I do accept,

you need to be okay
with that.

No more pop-ins, promise.

Please.

Knock, knock.

Hey.

Got some breakfast for you.

I am so sorry about last night.

Random animal in
the tree was not the plan.

Thomas is really upset.

I'll fix that.
But Soph...

I need to tell you

how grateful I am for you.

I woke up this morning feeling
so lucky.

And I promise I will never
become Tim.

Who's Tim?

The guy, you know,
from class.

Why are you thinking
about him?

I'm not.

I mean, that's the point?

Okay.

Great.

I feel just as lucky.

And I am so grateful for you.

Oh, babe.

And I have something special
for you.

Really?

Happy anniversary.

Happy anniversary?

Sus! Sus!

Hey.

I am so, so sorry
about the Jerry thing.

I should have told you
and I just...

Got way in your own way.

Yeah, that.

Um... hey, uh,
I was thinking

maybe we could look at
wedding cakes today.

You know, I'm feeling
motivated to lock in.

Wh- wh- where are you going?

Well, I have to smooth
things over with my dad.

Oh, great.
I'll grab a coat.

I'd love the chance
to apologize.

Maybe he can help us
pick out a cake.

I bet he's a vanilla guy.

I don't think he's
interested in an apology.

Look, this- this takes time.

I think maybe you two need a
little time apart for a while.

What's a while?

How would that work
with the wedding?

I'll see you tonight.

Hey, Caroline, still
not answering.

Understandable.

I am the king of the morons.

But look, I'm trying
to give up my throne,

so if you can call me back,

I would love
to explain to you why

you can do so much better
than me.

Garage beers.

It happened.

I become Tim.

How many have you had there,
big guy?

Oh.

I forgot our anniversary.

Never forgotten anything
like this in my life.

Except that time
you forgot a baby.

Christmas is a mess.

And one little guy who should
be loving it more than anyone

thinks it's ruined.

Back alley tree guy,
not a good idea.

That's on me.

I agreed to it.
Father of the year.

Because I was so concerned
with impressing Bob.

Steph...

you are impressive.

I have always looked up to you.

And not just because
you are 100 feet tall

because who you are

is 100 feet tall.

And you, you are the best dad
a kid could ask for.

Watching you with T
over the years

has made me believe
in fathers again.

Made me believe that even
maybe one day,

who knows, maybe
I can do it too.

Now look...

I know I'm the worst brother

and I never tell you guys
how I feel about you.

But the truth is,

you are both...
my best friends.

Hey.

Tay...

You are absolutely...

the worst brother.

I know a thing or two
about fear,

and you can't let it dictate
what you do

when you're chasing something
you love,

worked your whole life for.

I don't think this job
is worth it.

What if it is?

What if it's the best thing
that ever happened to you?

You won't know until you try,
Tay.

And like you said

this right here, it's always
going to be here.

Absolutely.

Okay. This mess of a
Christmas cannot be our last.

Put it on the list.

I gotta fix things with Soph.

I blew it.

You didn't blow it.

Okay, maybe you blew it,
but Sophie knows you, man.

Come on.
You're Luke Brenner.

If perfect was
a person, it would be you.

You square-jawed
firefighting legend.

First thing on the list,

Sophie. Anniversary gift.

Yeah.

Now you.

I mean, if this wedding's
got any chance at all,

I gotta smooth things over
with Susie and Bob.

Love that.

Okay. Next thing
we're gonna do,

Bob over for dinner
tomorrow night.

Yeah. Okay.

That's right.

And we are gonna show him that
you are the ideal son-in-law.

Yeah.

And not just
some bird losing liar.

Go back to the other guy.

- I went too hard.
- Yeah.

You're a legend!

Yeah!

Oh! Ow!

- You'll be all right.
- Yeah.

Wait. How do we
fix things with Thomas?

Yeah.

We don't even know what
he wants for Christmas yet.

We're relying on
some mall Santa

to leave it
under the tree for him.

He's got an idea.

Santa sees a hundred kids a day.

He's not going
to know who Thomas is.

I think he might.

What did you two do?

No, no, no, no.
Once was enough.

Why do you three insist on
trying to ruin my Christmas?

- He's just joking.
- He's kidding around.

- We go way back.
- Yeah.

What's up with this guy?

Yeah, we had
a slight altercation.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Hi.

I want you to stay away
from me.

Hold on.
Hold on now, okay.

I have a question
about my son, Thomas.

That's it.

I know exactly
who your son is,

- Ah, I knew it.
- Mr. B.

Yes. That's right.

After you three maniacs
destroyed my musical last year,

I was forced to take
a sabbatical to reset.

And when I returned
to the school,

they told me they hired
a new drama teacher.

One without a hair-trigger
temper

and an inordinate amount
of upper body tension.

But right now, I'm forced to do
odd jobs just to get by.

I played Hamlet at
the Delacorte Free Theater

in a performance that critics
praised as worth every penny

and stomach-able.

And now I'm an elf

in a mall made for shopping!

Couldn't get
the job as Santa, huh?

It's very political.

It's such a shame.

And who you know.

What is happening?

I just need to know what
Thomas asked for for Christmas.

- You want my help?
- Yes.

Oh.

'Cause I could help you.

I have it written down here
on this list.

Perfect.

Oh, I could do
something of value.

Amazing.

That's exactly what my
therapist said I should do.

But they're not here right now.

And why would I help you?

After all you've done to me.

Security!

No, no, no, no, no!

Escort these out of here!

Get...!

Don't you dare!
Don't you?

That is my clipboard.

This is official Santa business!

I got super strength.

Why is there confetti?!

Okay.

What have you done?

You menaces!

You... plagues!

You want to know what your son
wants for Christmas?

He wants a Mighty Mech.

Yes. The most popular toy
of the season.

Oh, yeah.

The one that, as soon
as it's restocked,

immediately sells out again.

You're too late.

You're too late,
Brenner brothers.

Merry Christmas Brenners.

Hey, this is a big mistake.
Is that necessary?

I'm fragile.

This is great!

Yeah.

What are we gonna do now?

Looks like I found
the nerd convention.

'Cause you guys
would be at it.

Nice. Mark LaClark.

What's up?

We're trying to get a toy
for Thomas.

There was a...

- misunderstanding.
- Misunderstanding.

Misunderstanding
is my middle name.

Uno momento los nerdos.

All right.

We're not waiting around
for... ah!

Ahhhh!
How did you get here so fast?

I never left.
I'm everywhere.

So what toy does the kid want?

Flippers, camel blocks,

vitamix, shop-vac,
samurai sword.

- Mighty mech actually.
- Mighty mech.

- Yeah.
- He's got taste.

You can teach it to do stuff.

It can- it can talk to you.

It can be your best friend.
That's why I'm here.

I'm gonna get one myself.

Well, good luck with that.
They sell out in seconds.

You can't spell LaClark
without luck.

And a couple other letters.

Inventory reports, truck
delivery schedules,

stock clerks, ship rotation.

None of that matters.

We still have to get past
the security

at the front door.

Mm.

They're looking for three
fashionless ding dongs.

We're going to blend
into the chaos.

♪ Well, it's Christmas time
pretty baby. ♪

♪ And snow is falling
on the ground. ♪

♪ Christmas. ♪

♪ Well, you'll be
really good little baby. ♪

♪ Santa Claus is back
in town ♪

Why are you in disguise?

Let me have this.

Okay. The Mighty Mech display
is right around the corner.

Do you guys want
to sync watches

because they're gonna restock
the shelves

in under five minutes?

- Yeah.
- Mine doesn't work.

I only have a cell phone.

Amateurs.

Hey, why do they
have one already?

Oh, no.
Somebody jump the gun.

What?

It's every man
for himself.

Wait, LaClark.

- Wow.
- Traitor.

It's okay boys,
we got this.

As long as we stick together.

Yeah.

Oh, that's Caroline,
I gotta go.

Are you serious?

Yeah. I gotta take this.
Bye.

Oh. Hi there.

I'm looking for
the king of morons.

You found him.

Thank you so much
for calling me.

Oh.

Uh, ma'am, I think
I was here first.

If that were true,
you'd have the toy.

You didn't put on much
of a fight.

She had surprisingly
strong hands.

Oh.

It's empty.

There! It's right there!

Get her, Luke!

Ahhhh!

I'm sorry I didn't tell
you about Fiona, okay?

I just- I wasn't sure
I wanted the job,

and honestly, it
didn't feel relevant.

You can't leave me in
the dark like that, all right?

That's not how
a relationship works.

I should have handled this
a million times better.

And I would really love
to talk about this

in... person.

As much as it pains me
to do this right now given the--

gravity of the situation,
I'm gonna have to call you back.

Seriously?

I know I'm the worst.

I was gone three minutes!

Yeah!

I got it!

Yes.

Ha! Ha!

What seems to be the problem,
officer?

I need to stop letting you guys
help me with my problems.

I need to start listening
to my nephew,

make better life choices.

I need to get better
at making any choices,

and probably not lie
about losing

my soon to not be
father-in-law's prized bird.

You lost a bird?

He came back.

Broke the spirit of Thomas's
kindergarten teacher.

Again.

What did you do to the teacher?

It doesn't matter.
He's an elf now.

We also destroyed a toy store.

A toy store?

And Santa's village.

Forgot an anniversary.

We bought a rodent tree.

And ruined mom's dream

of one last great Christmas
in the house.

You guys are monsters.

This distinguished
gentleman is correct.

This is a new low for us.

And we still don't have a toy
for Thomas.

Things couldn't
possibly get any worse.

- Hi, Ma.
- Hey Mom

Boys, I need you.
Susie, come on in.

- Yeah, Ma?
- Stephan, yeah.

Come on, have a seat, guys.

I need to talk to you.
Please, Taylor.

Yeah.

- I need you.
- Coming.

Thank you.

So, after the other
night's debacle.

Somehow, miraculously, Susie
has convinced her father

to join us again
for dinner tonight.

So I want to be very clear.

We are going to have
a nice and normal dinner.

Do you understand me?

Nice and normal.

So...

Fake it?

Oh, I don't care.

Just get 'er done.

Yeah, Mom.

Sus, Sus. Sus!

Look, I know that this week

has been just one thing
after another.

And I have gotten in my own
way at every conceivable turn.

But tonight,

I'm gonna mend things
with your dad, I promise.

And then we can, you know,
we'll get back

to just planning the wedding.

Stephan, you were
in jail last night.

I suppose that changes my status
to elite bad boy.

I love you and I...

I absolutely want to marry you
one day.

But this- this has
just been a lot.

I think we should put a pin in
the wedding planning for now

and just get through Christmas.

Thank you so much
for coming, Bob.

I know things can get a little
heightened around here,

but this is lovely.

How have you
been enjoying your stay?

Seattle, it's just
beautiful at Christmas time.

Yeah, I'm mostly
just sitting around.

Not much I can do
with this foot.

How's that healing up there,
Bob?

Slowly.

How's your head?

Nice. Normal.

Did you see the tree, Bob?

Came together beautifully.

Oh, right.
Yeah, the one you chopped down.

Did you bring Jerry?

Ah, no. Jerry hasn't really been
himself since the incident,

so I left him
behind at the hotel.

You know, where it's safe.

Dad was in jail last night.

Thanks, kiddo.
We're all caught up here.

And Uncle Stephan and Uncle
Taylor were there, too.

Oh, boy.

Yeah. So I've heard.

If this week is any indication

on how the wedding
is going to go--

Well, you don't have to worry
about it, Bob,

'cause the wedding is on pause.

Oh.

You know, that's
probably for the best.

You know what, Bob?

Ma--

You're new to this family,
so I'll give you a break.

My sons, they love each other.

There's nothing they
wouldn't do for each other.

Are they perfect?
No, they're not perfect.

Far from it.

Stephan loves your daughter more
than anything in this world,

and he has fought
all week to get your approval.

Look, so he doesn't forge
drill bits and chop down trees

or befriend Cockatiels.

Stop listing things.

He has the biggest heart,
the kindest, most sincere,

compassionate man
I have ever known.

His heart is bigger than
all of ours put together,

and the love
that he has for Susie

doesn't need your approval.

It should be embraced.

I don't know what more you
could want for your daughter.

That kind of love doesn't
come along very often.

I know I've spent what feels
like a lifetime looking for it.

We should be doing everything
in our power to protect it,

not fight it.

If you don't like it here,
okay, that's fine.

It's your loss,
but don't stand between them.

Oh!

Are you okay, Soph?

I think-- Oh!

- Okay.
- Yeah.

Twins. Coming through.
Look alive!

It's go time, boys.

I am fired up.

How about mom unloading on Bob?

Ha! Bet you didn't have
that on your list.

Might have been.

- I love you guys.
- I love you guys.

Will you guys shut up?!

What a woman.

What are you doing?

Get in there!

Oh, yeah. Yep, yep.

I brought some- some cookies
if anyone's hungry.

Thanks Daddy.

I owe you all an apology.

I've been unfair,

especially to you
Stephan and I'm sorry.

Susie bear...

you're my little girl and, uh.

I'm just having a really hard
time sharing you.

I know how much you love her,
and I know she feels the same.

And, Barbara, you're right...

that is all that matters.

I would be honored to call you
my son-in-law

and to be part of this-
this spirited family.

If you'll have me.

Um, maybe too soon.

I'll do the handshake thing,
yeah.

We have...

girls.

- Finally.
- Are you sure?

There's a way to tell.
I'll explain later.

Wow, look.

Meet your sister, buddy.

Oh, Lukey three
looks good on you.

It feels good, Mom.

I think everything's
going to be just fine.

Yeah, three's the magic number.

Nothing like a trilogy to
make people happy, am I right?

You're right, doc,
you're right.

Moments like these,

they just don't get any more
perfect than this.

All right.

Let's go check on your mom,
all right?

I love you guys.

Love you too.

Tell her well done.

Oh.

Love you.

Oh!

Mom's right.

They don't.

Moments, they don't-
they don't get any more perfect.

Suse, I have done nothing this
week except get in my own way.

And I would like to spend
the rest of my life

trying to prove to you
that I'm more than that.

Marry me.

Right now.

Marry me.

This- this is as far out
of my own way as I get.

You mean here now?

Yes.

Everybody we love
is here right now.

There's a chapel here.

Sus, I don't want to spend
one more day

not being your husband.

Marry me.

Okay. Yes, I'll marry you.

Oh my goodness.

Hi. It's me.
It's late.

I know I'm the worst,
but it's an emergency.

Come to the hospital,

I know you, you're not
going to want to miss this.

Wait!

No, I can't- I can't get
married without my dress.

Oh, I- I can get your dress.

I mean, I'm not
going to have a tux.

I haven't even begun
to pick those out.

I got an idea.

Stephan, honey, honey,
who's going to marry you?

I think I can help with that.

What?

What are you doing here?

Well, I got a text from
the boys that there's twins.

We have twins.

Hello, hello, hello.

There she is.

I can't believe you are here.

Hello.

How did something so
beautiful come from you?

From something so hideous,
so nice.

Good to have you here, Roy.

Wow.

Oh, I can't even speak.

Babe...

I should have done this
on the day.

Happy...

I'm so sorry it's late...

anniversary.

Luke, it's stunning.

It's an eternity ring.

Five diamonds,
one for each of us.

I love you so much.

New baby, get a ring.

I love you, too.

Oh, there you are.
I came as soon as I could.

Oh, wow!

I know.
Two fresh babies, healthy.

He's getting married.

My suit sucks.

Please, come have a seat.

This can't wait.

Um. Life is happening
at an alarming rate.

Faster than I know
what to do with.

But I do know one thing.

Someone like you does not
happen to someone like me

twice in a lifetime.

I think I've been afraid
of change my entire life.

Clearly, I live in
my mother's basement.

I don't want to
be afraid anymore.

See...

when all this madness is over,

will you...

Yeah.

...move to San Francisco
with me?

I want to start a life together.

The one we've
always talked about.

I was never unsure about you.

I just didn't know
if I could do it...

without them.

And look, I'm going to continue
to fail and implode

in a spectacular fashion
because that's just who I am.

But I would love it if you
were there with me by my side.

I will never
leave you in the dark again.

You're the best thing
that's ever happened to me.

I want the dog.

I want the kitchen

that we're never gonna
cook in.

Sure, I'll take the job,
why not?

I'll take the dreams.

Most of all... I just want you.

Taylor, I- I can't wait to do
all of these things with you.

Oh my goodness.

Okay.

Dummy.

Let's get you married.

I love you.

Thanks Bob.

Dearly beloved and...

various hospital staff.

Thank you.

Okay.

With this ring,

I thee wed.

It's heavy.

With this ring,

I thee wed.

By the power vested in me,

I pronounce
you husband and wife.

You may now kiss the bride.

Yeah.

Woohoo!

Merry Christmas, nerds!

Look!

A Mighty Mech!

Thank you, Santa.

Did you do this?

No. Did you?

This is truly
the best Christmas ever.

Ever.

Oh.

Well, I guess that's it, huh?

I don't know who
the new owners are,

but I sure hope they love
this place

as much as we have.

I certainly hope so.

Yeah.

Because it's yours.

What?

Now you can travel

and do all the things
that you want to do.

How did you...?

I'm rich now,
I do what I want.

Can I come stay in the
basement when I visit?

Did you guys know about this?

It doesn't happen
without these two.

Wow.

Alright Mom, let's go.
Everybody in.

He's rich!

He is rich.
