Please, don't go. It's Christmas.

This is an amazing opportunity,

and you know it starts in December.

I don't want to lose you,

Baby, you're not gonna lose me.

It's just a year, and we'll talk every single day.

All right, kiddo. We need to go.

Let's start our life together.

When?

Stay. Let's get married.

I can't.

Marry me.

I'm just getting in right now.

Ugh!

No, I'm fine.

No, I'm fine. It's just my allergies.

I know, my love, but it's only gonna be a month,

and this thing needed to happen.

I know. I love you too.

Thank you for understanding.

Ciao.

Hello?

Hey, Stace! Have you arrived yet?

Ugh!

Are you okay?

It's just my allergies. Yeah, I'm here. Uh...

I can't believe mom's old garden gnome is still there.

You're gonna make me cry, Stace.

Hey, do you remember how mom and dad

used to decorate the house for Christmas?

I thought you wanted to sell the house.

I do. I do.

I would just love to see the holiday spirit here

at least once more, one last Christmas home.

Mom and Dad would've loved that,

with the tree, the lights, and the cookies.

I wish I could be there, but with the kids,

the pregnancy, and Charles traveling so much...

It's okay, sis. I got this.

Mommy, mommy! Santa came, Santa came!

We have something for you, sweet girl.

Mommy, sing me a song?

I want you to sing this time

Stacy.

Stace?

It's--it's gonna need a lot of work.

I can do this.

I got this.

Are these the Christmas cookies you baked?

Yeah!

I made it with the S-A-L-T sugar.

Mm!

Delicious, kiddo!

It's just not fair.

What are we gonna do with the house?

I don't know, Mindy. I can't think about that right now.

Maybe sell it?

No, Stace.

It meant so much to them.

Maybe we could celebrate Christmas here every year?

They would've loved that.

I'm so happy to be back!

Tell me everything. How's Italy?

It's amazing. It's so beautiful.

You would love it.

Yeah?

Speaking of, I actually brought you something.

A little piece of Italy.

Stacy!

-It's a pashmina. -It's beautiful!

Thank you. They're my favorite colors too.

Of course. You're stuck in my brain.

That's sweet.

How do I look?

Oh, that looks beautiful on you.

-Yeah? -Yeah.

You look so stylin'.

-Yeah? -Yeah.

Hey, girls.

-Hey. -Hey.

I thought you might be thirsty.

Oh, thank you.

-Thanks. -Thank you.

Tell me your plans.

Are you going back to Italy, or are you staying here?

I'm weighing my options.

Okay.

I've been meaning to ask you, um,

have you talked to James lately?

I think he's ghosting me.

He changed his number.

He's dating someone?

It's okay. I'm happy for him.

And you have your life in Italy.

Hey, Ross.

Yeah, it's me. I'm here.

Wanna come by, maybe order some pizzas?

I don't plan on cooking anything.

I'm on vacation.

At least not until I have a nice bath.

It's a long story.

6:30's perfect. All right, see you then.

Hold on! I'm coming!

You know how to make a fuss!

Sorry. I got stuck.

Come on. Shut that.

Oh my gosh! It's so good to see you!

What?

It's good to be home.

Girl, it's dusty in here!

Allergies must be driving you crazy.

You see?

Why would you even risk it?

Oh my god.

Unbelievable.

You just got here, and you're already all over the place.

Nothing's changed.

Are you like this with all your clients?

No, just you.

Come here.

Oh my god.

This is crazy.

Lucky me.

Man, so many memories.

Yeah.

Are you sure you wanna do this?

Yeah, it's time.

I do have one last request though.

And that is?

I wanna celebrate and decorate the house for Christmas

like my dad used to do, one last time.

One last Christmas.

Yeah. I like it.

I'm gonna need your help.

Yeah, you are.

We got some work to do.

Come, come.

This is delicious.

Yeah, thought you'd like it.

It's a new tea mix, but it's your Christmas favorite.

-Raspberry! -Raspberry!

You remembered!

Well, hey, you're stuck in my mind.

Of course.

Okay, so,

you intend to do all of this in just one month.

I know. It's crazy.

During the holidays.

Yeah.

Even at Christmas?

Oh, no, no, no.

It has to be done for Christmas,

with the perfect decorations.

Oh my. Okay.

That's ambitious.

But I mean, it makes sense.

Your house was the most cozy,

Christmasy home ever.

I know.

It was so nice.

It really was.

Then you're just gonna settle it and leave?

Well, I can't be here in January.

You knew that.

No, that's right, that's right, that's right.

Okay.

Yeah.

Yeah, it can be done.

Um, so you're gonna need a contractor,

which they're hard to book at this time.

You know, the holidays and everything.

It's okay.

I know it's gonna be a little more expensive,

but I have no choice.

Okay, you won't like this.

What?

Oh no.

-No. -He's the best contractor in town.

He's the only one that's gonna be able

to get all of this done in time for you to sell your house.

The only one.

Come on! He's--

Okay, he's not just the best contractor.

He also...

UH, he hired a carpenter

that I wouldn't mind seeing every day.

I see. I see.

Please, I really like him.

Okay, fine.

-Yeah? -Yes, fine.

But you owe me big time.

-Of course. -Big time.

I'll call him tomorrow.

I'll get everything set up. I got you.

Are we sure he's the only option?

Hello?

Hey, are you awake?

No.

How's your allergies?

Ugh, my head is killing me.

I need to get rid of this dust.

Not to mention you must be jet lagged.

I really enjoyed having five years of pajama parties

in those three hours.

Are, are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine. I just need some coffee.

Okay, I'll, I'll come later

with some groceries and supplies. Um...

I don't know if you remember, but you told me to call James.

What?

Yeah, he said he was gonna stop by around 11:00.

Today? What time is it?

Almost 11:00.

Pretty punctual.

Hello?

I heard you needed a contractor, ma'am.

Yes, I did. Does this have caffeine?

Yeah, coffee has caffeine in it.

And that was mine.

Oh.

Why don't you come in?

So.

This is the living room.

As you can see, we've got everything tarped up.

It's gonna be some work.

Yeah.

Um, just a second. I'll be back, okay?

Hi, mi amore.

Hey!

How's everything going?

Is it better or worse than what you remember?

We're gonna need to hire a contractor.

Go measure the shelf!

Hey, don't forget about that wedding, all right?

I can't wait to marry you.

Yeah?

Yes.

I love you.

Oh, how um, how are you enjoying that new ring of yours?

Yes, I'm wearing the ring.

Okay.

Sorry about that.

What do you need, ma'am?

We don't have to pretend like we don't know each other.

I don't know you.

Fine. Maybe it's better that way.

So this room--

Are you getting married?

Were you listening to my conversation?

No!

Can you just be professional, please?

Yeah, no, I can do that, yeah.

Great.

Act like nothing ever happened between the two of us?

I can totally do that. Will that make it better for you?

A little easier to work together?

That's enough!

Nice scarf, by the way. That the latest trend in Milan?

Hey, let's go.

Great house. See you tomorrow.

What was that about?

Nothing.

At least the coffee's good.

Yup!

You forgot your toolbox!

Okay!

We're throwing stuff at visitors now?

It's gonna be an interesting open house.

Oh, and I'm sorry about the doorbell from hell.

I, I forgot.

It's not you. It's okay.

What's wrong? Bad day?

Yeah.

How's your allergies?

They're fine.

That's a nice scarf though.

Is that like the latest trend in Milan?

Okay. I get the scarf now.

Uh, you should leave that on.

Is it that bad?

It's not a big help.

And you still have dark circles under your eyes.

Oh, it's bad. It's really bad.

Yeah, you kind of look like a crazy cat lady.

A cat lady?

Without the cats.

Everybody knows cats are the best part

about crazy cat ladies

Oh, I'm sorry. I can't even wash my face!

The water turns brown!

Hey, it's no fuss. Okay?

Everybody's entitled to have a bad day, right?

At least you didn't hit me with that toolbox.

I'm sorry. I thought you were James.

He left his stupid toolbox.

So I guess things didn't go well with James, huh?

What were you thinking, Ross?

Hey, you agreed.

And when I talked to him on the phone,

he sounded really excited to see you.

Was he rude?

Was he rude?

Sorry.

Do you have a coffee pot?

I don't know.

Okay. Coffee maker?

If I do, it's gonna be in a box somewhere.

I have no idea where.

Okay. That's okay.

This just won't work right now.

So what'd you get me?

Quite the spread.

Delicious, but I am on a keto diet.

You need that.

Your allergies are getting worse.

Besides, do you think you can sell a dirty home?

This is more like it.

Yeah. Right. I also like these.

Ooh!

Oh!

The special Christmas muffins! You remembered!

Of course I did. You're kind of stuck in my mind.

Are you kidding?

Mm!

Good?

So good.

- Good. - I love Christmas.

You rock.

-I rock? -Mm-hm.

Okay.

How old are you?

For real.

Um, Stace?

Yeah?

Okay, let's remember, I rock.

Okay?

-Okay. -What?

He's here.

-Oh, no! -I know.

Told you it was a bad idea to call him!

-Stacy! -Wait--

We don't have an option,

unless you want me to sell your house in the spring.

That is the best apology I could've hoped for.

I wasn't apologizing, so.

One second.

Stacy, we need him bad. Brown water.

Okay? Remember?

You know, you owe me a new toolbox, an expensive one.

Oh yeah, this is gonna cost you.

You know that, right?

What? Why? You don't even know what's needed yet.

Holidays. Take it or leave it.

Okay, okay. But we do want the house ready for Christmas.

You said a month, Ross.

No, I-- We need a month to sell the house,

but we want it ready for Christmas.

I want the tree, the decorations,

everything set up. That's non-negotiable, okay?

Can you do that?

Hm?

Okay.

-Yeah. -Yeah?

Let me take a look around, and then we can talk numbers.

-Gives you two weeks. -I know.

Can you do it? Hm?

Mm-hm.

I mean, whatever you guys want, but the tree...

See?

Broken.

Fine.

I mean, I think it's fair.

Yeah.

I don't know. It's pretty expensive.

Do you think he's worth it?

Look, if you don't get these things fixed,

it's gonna be really hard to sell your house,

and you'll lose thousands in market value.

Yeah, but there's gotta be someone else.

Who?

Anyone else.

I'm not gonna lie to you.

It's really hard to find a good contractor

and cute carpenters that happen to work with them.

But...

Stace, work with me.

Look, I know you two go way back

and now you guys don't like each other,

but he's not just good.

He's the best in town. He's worth it.

Smells really good.

It smells Italian.

Yeah, I was gonna have a truffle from Italy,

but this can of tomatoes will have to do.

Wait, truffles?

You can afford James and his carpenter.

I know. I just...

I don't like how he treats me.

Well, lucky for you,

he's not your boyfriend anymore.

He is your contractor.

Yeah, tell him that.

Are you bleeding?

Yeah, a little bit.

Wait, no, no, no, no.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no!

The the water's brown!

I told you.

Hire him.

You ever think about the future?

Of course.

I wanna do big stuff.

-Yeah? -Yeah.

Like travel around, experience new places.

What about you?

Honestly, I just wanna be with you.

Oh, come on, Stacy.

You gotta have dreams.

Well, I guess I have dreams.

Okay, don't laugh.

I won't.

I wanna be a chef.

I think you should.

Really?

Yeah.

Promise me you will?

Promise.

Seriously, Stacy,

nothing's more important than following your dreams.

But you sure you just want to be a chef?

Yeah. Why? Am I not good at it?

No, no. You're great at it.

I think the, the world deserves your food.

But... What about singing?

Hmm.

That's just something I do with you.

I'm not a singer.

Are you kidding me?

Your voice is like the sun.

It like brightens up everybody's day.

-You think so? -Yeah.

Really?

Yeah.

Will you sing to me now?

Sure.

♪ If I could have My way today ♪

♪ I'd be a happy girl ♪

These two were your mother's favorites,

one for each of her beautiful girls.

Are you sure you can't be here for Christmas?

My program in Italy starts next week.

You know that, Dad.

Yeah. I know.

And you have to follow your dreams.

Well, at least you're here now helping me with the tree.

I wouldn't miss it for the world.

Stacy!

Stacy!

What? What in the world?

Ugh!

Can you unlock the door?

Morning!

Unlock the door.

I'll be there. Okay.

What have I gotten myself into?

I don't know why you keep hitting the button.

It's broken.

Oh, is it?

Whatever. I haven't had my coffee yet.

I figured.

Okay, people, you know what to do!

Let's move it! We are on the clock!

Go, go, go, go!

Move it, move it, move it!

Sorry.

You know, you could have broken my window

Time is money.

You're the one in a hurry, not me.

Okay, it's too early for this.

No, yeah, you were never a morning person.

Okay, I need some me time.

You're in charge.

For now.

All right, guys, let's do this thing!

Come on!

Hey, I'm not here right now.

Leave a message.

Hey.

Hey, just thinking of you, like always.

Um, it's been like three days.

Anyways, yeah, call me back.

I'd love to hear your voice.

All right, love you. Bye.

There you are.

Hey.

Hey, just thinking of you, like always.

It's been like three days.

Anyways, yeah, call me back.

I'd love to hear your voice.

All right, love you. Bye.

Hey!

Hello!

Hello!

What is going on?

What's up?

Kitchen's off limits.

I got a lot of work going on in there,

and I don't want you getting hurt.

Now, I got you your second coffee,

'cause I remembered that you're a better person if you've had one.

Thanks? I need my fuel.

-You do. -Mm-hm.

And I need you to sign this.

I haven't agreed to hire you.

Yes, you did.

All right, now please sign it so we can get started.

I got a lot of work to get done,

and I'm gonna need the first deposit today.

Fine.

By the way, I'm gonna...

go get a Christmas tree for you a little later.

With all this mess?

Yeah. I remember how much it meant to you and your dad.

By the way, I like what you did with your hair.

Just don't break my childhood home.

I will try my best.

Thanks for the coffee!

No promises.

Ah, I forget how magical the mall is at the holidays.

Now you're talking!

All right! Christmas has arrived!

This is nice.

Whoa! Hey, are you okay?

Hey, deep breaths, deep breaths.

Don't panic. Don't panic.

All right. You can't control everything, okay?

Yes.

Breathe. Breathe.

No, look at me, look at me, look at me.

Breathe.

Okay? Yeah?

-Okay. -Deep breaths.

-Okay. -You okay?

Okay. It's supposed looks like this.

It's okay, all right?

Mm-hm.

You got this. Yeah?

-Mm-hm. -Okay. Cool.

All right.

Hey, ladies. How was your day?

Good. We went to the mall.

Oh, did you get me a Christmas present?

Why are you acting weird?

Weird? Who's being weird? I'm not being weird. Um...

But I did think that we could stand here and talk

before we go into the kitchen.

Yeah, no. I'll let you guys talk.

Cool. Okay.

-So um... -What's up?

Some things that

- Wait! No, no! Ross! - Oh my gosh!

Where is my kitchen?

Stacy, this is probably the perfect time

to start making us your famous delicious salad!

I got you a beautiful Christmas tree.

Oh, no, no, no, no!

You're not getting away with this!

Well, if you will just calm down, can explain it to you.

Calm down?

Where is my fridge?

My sink? My stove!

It's gone.

Yeah.

You know, Stacy, I think this is a perfect time to start decorating, right?

Lights, ornaments. Spice it up a bit.

Did somebody drop a bomb in here?

Funny you should say that.

You will fix this in time, right?

Right?

Look, I thought we could get as much done as possible

with the aggressive deadline, and...

And?

And you didn't give me the check.

And I told you that we needed materials.

So I don't give you a check, and you take it out on my kitchen?

I had to pay my guys double to work hard enough to get everything ready

for the materials to arrive tomorrow.

But...

But?

But?

I mean, they needed the check today.

What are you trying to say?

They're closed for the holidays.

We didn't make it.

They're off till January.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Deep breaths, okay?

Yeah. Yeah.

Deep breaths.

It's okay.

Okay?

It's okay.

You feel better? You wanna sit down?

-Yeah. -Okay. All right.

He could have at least moved the tree.

I'm sorry.

It's okay. It's not your fault.

I should have known better.

In his defense,

he did ask you to give him the checks.

James always does this. He always ruins everything.

Why would this time be any different?

I really hope you like it.

You didn't spend a lot of money on it, did you?

I didn't spend a penny.

What is this?

I saw that rag that you're always playing with,

and I took it out of your room and made a bear out of it.

Why?

Why would you do that?

I thought... I thought you'd like it.

I'm such an idiot.

I'm done. Don't call me again.

Merry Christmas.

What just happened?

Hey!

Hi.

-Me? -Yeah. Could you help me move this tree?

-Yeah. -Yeah?

Thank you.

All right. So...

Here's what we should do.

So, I'm gonna grab the bottom.

-Okay. -And then you're going grab the middle there,

and we're gonna lean it back and go this way.

-Okay. -Okay?

Okay.

-All right. -Sounds good.

So like right...

Yeah. So let's, yeah,

let's do that plan we just said.

Hello?

All right.

What are you doing in here?

I didn't think anybody was in here.

- Do you knock? - I knocked on the door.

What time is it?

It's 8:30, Sleeping Beauty.

Ugh. Don't talk to me before my--

Your coffee? Yeah, I know. Here, have mine.

So, I've been thinking about our little problem.

What, What problem?

The problem that you caused with your lack of payment.

Anyway, I think if we change up the plan,

we can still make this happen in time.

Really?

Yeah.

We're gonna have to make some sacrifices,

but... I think we can do this.

Okay, great. Um...

I just have to run some errands, and when I get back,

you can tell me all about your plan.

Great.

Can you get outta my room, so I can change?

Yeah. I...

Yeah.

Yeah. Sorry.

Wow. This is beautiful.

You would've loved this, Dad.

-Hey. -Hey.

-Good morning. -Good morning.

-It looks good, huh? -It really does.

I moved it with Jack.

Who's Jack?

The cute carpenter.

Oh.

Jack.

Hey, I was thinking.

Yeah?

I have an idea.

Okay.

You should move back here.

And open up a restaurant. It would be fun!

You know, I can't do that.

As tempting as it is being back, I just...

I can't.

My life's back in Italy now with Micah and the show.

Yeah, no, you're right.

Can't just leave, as tempting as it is.

-Worth a shot. -Yeah.

Well um, hey, do you mind if I borrow your car keys

to go get some shampoo?

Oh, yeah. Uh...

-I wish you would've told me though. - Oh, yeah...

I would've gotten you some.

That's all good. I wanna get outta this house.

No, I get it. No, do your thing.

-Yeah, for sure. -Yeah.

All right, well, I'll see you later.

-Yeah, for sure. -Okay.

-Thanks. -See ya, for sure.

Hey, Jack?

Has anybody seen Jack?

Having fun wrecking my house?

I'm gonna take a hot shower,

and when I get back, you can tell me all about your plan.

Mm-hm.

Don't work too hard.

Hey, James?

I finished the demo in the kitchen

What else you want me to do?

Yeah, why don't you run out and grab some of that tile

and get a helper to start mixing up some mud.

All right.

Ooh, hey, I meant to ask you this.

So, what's the deal with the real estate girl?

She won't leave me alone.

Sounds like a good problem to have.

Hey, Jack?

You never saw me.

Don't use the shower yet!

We don't have any clean water!

Somebody get me a bucket!

-Look at me, James! -I am so sorry!

You could have at least warned me about the water!

It happened when Jack took the sink out, I think.

You remember talking about the sink?

I don't care about Jack!

My body is covered!

I'm, I'm sorry. I--

I brought some water in a bucket to go and clean up with.

Give me that!

Sorry!

Have you ever made a dream board?

James! You gonna fix this?

Yeah. Um...

It is gonna take me a minute, but I'll take care of it.

Fine. Just fix it.

Please.

I'm sorry again.

It's okay.

Hey, sorry about earlier.

Feeling better?

Yeah.

The water was a little cold, but better than nothing.

Must be Ross. Hope your idea works.

So, we only have a week, but my carpenter's amazing.

Okay.

Now, we do have to modify the kitchen.

Oh, wow. That's actually really good.

That's a great use of the space and very practical.

Yeah, no, it's gorgeous.

I mean, are you surprised?

I learned a lot about functional kitchens from you.

Oh, I don't remember that.

No? You don't remember that?

Okay, it's not important. It's not important.

No, wait. No, now you have to tell me.

Tell me!

Oh gosh.

Tell me.

It is a good story though.

So, she talks me into making it.

This guy is like...

off his finger.

His finger flew off!

It went, woop, out like that!

That happens three times, I think.

Three times.

And that's when I said...

That's when I knew, I have to ask this...

Anyway, so it's going everywhere.

She starts bandaging me up.

I don't wanna do it. I don't wanna do it.

And then...

Yeah, and so I didn't wanna do it.

It's fake. It's a fake finger, right?

Right? So, anyway.

Now it's looking like Christmas!

So you'll be here early in the morning, right?

Um, I have to show a few houses in the morning,

but I can stop by later.

What about the appliances?

Oh, calling them tomorrow.

Should have 'em shipped in a few days, I think.

They'll definitely be here by the 21st?

Oh, yeah, for sure.

When is the water not gonna be brown?

Got the plumber working on it all day tomorrow.

Okay. Okay.

So can we do this?

Let's do it.

Hell yeah.

Oh, that's really cute! I love that!

Oh, I got another Santa. This one' really cute.

Nutcracker.

Aw, the mouth doesn't move though. Look.

Hey, girls! Come here.

All right, so what do we think about this right here

- going right there? - -Uh, that's not what we talked about.

-I don't like that. -Yeah, no. What's this?

That's exactly what I had on the blueprint yesterday.

No, it's not. No, that looks completely different.

-No, no, no, no. -Okay, okay. Hold on.

I don't like that. I don't like that.

Okay. Hold on. Okay, okay, okay.

What about...

-Yeah? -Yes!

-That looks... -With the vent.

-Yeah? -Yes.

-What do you think? -I love it.

Hanging down right there?

-Yeah. Yeah. -Yeah, yeah, yeah.

-All right. -I love that.

-Cool. -Okay. Let's make happen.

So I'm thinking this one right here, right?

Okay. I love these.

I love these for the bathroom and the kitchen.

And then, yeah. I love all these.

-Wait, all of them? -Yeah.

- That's gonna be really pricey. - -Um...

That's fine.

-That's fine? -Yeah.

We'll save money on something else.

I do like...

-I agree. I do like that. -Yeah.

All right then. Let's do it.

So, I have a photographer that takes photos.

-Okay. -I love his work.

I've worked with him on a few different houses,

and he's incredible.

But we're gonna get him to come take photos

once we're finished.

Yeah, this looks amazing.

-It looks good, right? -Yeah, really good.

So, I would like to do an open house.

- Okay. -Um, for the open house, we need like snacks and drinks.

I got you. I can make the food for the open house.

-Good. -Um, I've been looking at some comps, and this is gonna sell.

Are we on track?

Yeah, we're on track.

I'll make the food, You do the real estate,

and together we're a great team.

-Yeah, we got it. -No, we're such a good team.

We got this.

-All right. -We got this!

Yes, okay, perfect.

Thank you.

-Ooh, I like this one. -Awesome.

Yeah, I thought the silver and gold would be really nice.

Yeah.

Here?

Yes!

That's so good!

-There you go. -All right.

-Yeah, there you go. -I like that.

Yeah, I think that's good.

Perfect.

It looks so good.

Yeah, it really does.

Well, if you don't need me, I am exhausted,

-so I'm probably gonna get going. -Yeah.

-But I'll see you tomorrow? -Yeah, for sure. Definitely. You earned it, girl.

Thank you for your help.

-Of course. -I really appreciate you.

-Of course. -I appreciate you.

All right, I'll see you tomorrow then.

Yeah, definitely. Thank you.

-All right, -Have a good night.

Went to three stores to find this thing.

No way.

Yeah.

Reminded me of the ones your dad used to get with you.

Yeah.

If you don't mind, I'm gonna lock up

and head out.

-For sure. -Cool.

Sorry, I gotta take this.

-Go ahead. -Have a good night.

-See you tomorrow. -See ya.

Hi.

Hi, honey.

Hey, can you come over here?

-Hey! -Oh, hey.

Hey, I got some hot chocolate.

Thank you so much. That's really nice of you.

-Ooh! -Oh, yeah, careful.

Okay. Yes.

Do you want...

-No, no, no. -Okay. Okay.

-Thank you. -Yeah.

Pizza's finally here. Sorry for the delay.

No, no. Thank you.

Thanks again for feeding everybody.

You didn't have to do that, you know.

No, for sure. Let 'em know that it's here.

Yeah, totally, totally. You need anything else?

You need me to get drinks or anything?

Um, you can actually do the salad.

Sure. Yeah.

Is this what...

This how you would do it on the show?

Yeah. That's really good, yeah.

I mean, you have limited utensils.

Okay. All right.

So maybe I can be...

Maybe I can be on an episode or something?

-Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, -Yeah, right?

I could see that.

So what's up? Do you actually, um...

Do you actually cook the food on the show or like...

I make it. I make them all.

I don't have anybody else make it.

Oh, no. Hey, I remember how you cook.

Yeah.

Is one like an unmade version, and you're like,

"Let's pop this in the oven for a second"?

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I actually do do that a little.

So, yeah, if you wanna tell them that it's here.

Yeah. Hey, guys, chow time!

What about singing?

I'm not a singer.

That's just something I do with you.

Are you kidding me?

Your voice is like the sun.

- It brightens up everybody's day. - -You think so?

-Yeah. -Really?

Will you sing to me now?

Sure.

I can't believe this is happening.

Hey.

Hey. Hi.

Yeah, morning.

I'm gonna check the kitchen.

James, what...

Wow.

How did you do this?

No way.

This is amazing.

Oh, and this stove.

I wish this was my kitchen.

Is this...

This is amazing.

Yeah, it is.

So where's my coffee?

No coffee. Not today.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

I'm not bringing you coffee anymore,

and you are not my boss.

Technically I am, 'cause I hired you.

To be your coffee boy?

Look, I never said you have to get me coffee.

James, this kitchen is incredible.

All your ideas are amazing.

Well, I am so happy that you're satisfied.

Seriously, what's wrong?

What did I do?

Doesn't matter.

James.

Hey.

Where's James?

I don't know. He just left.

What's up with him? He was fine yesterday, and today he's just leaving?

Oh.

I might have...

Ross?

Ross, what did you do?

I might have said something.

Hey, you can make your own stuff now.

I know it's not coffee.

This kitchen is amazing.

Seriously?

Ross, why did you do this?

I didn't think there would be any issues.

You know, you got Micah.

Stacy, he has a girlfriend.

What?

Yeah.

He never said anything. Why didn't he tell me?

Stacy, you're getting married in January.

Why does it matter?

Right. No, you're right.

I have Micah, I have my career in Italy, have a great life.

Everything's great.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Stacy, rewind.

Do you still have feelings for James?

What? No, no, no. Of course not.

Why? Did he say something?

Stacy, you are getting married next month.

Right.

And you told him.

Well, yeah. He deserved to know.

♪ Chestnuts roasting On an open fire ♪

This is exactly how being home for Christmas should feel.

All the decorations, the lights.

It's so cozy. It makes me just wanna enjoy it.

You know, before it's gone.

You know, you don't have to sell the house if you don't want to.

I know. It's tempting, because it really is beautiful.

But my life's in Italy now.

And my sister, Mindy, lives six hours away,

so it's time.

Speaking of, do you remember those ornaments

that you and Mindy made for your mom?

Oh, yeah.

That's a funny story. Have I ever told you that story?

No, you didn't.

So, you know my mom was really sick.

-Yeah. -So one year for Christmas,

Mindy and I decided to make her some cookies.

But instead of using sugar, we accidentally used salt.

Oh, yuck.

Yeah. So they were not tasty.

Yeah.

So my mom had the brilliant idea of varnishing them

and using them as ornaments.

They were cookies this the whole time?

They were cookies.

What?

And we put them on the tree every year,

until they got left in a box and...

Sorry, the door was open.

Hey. You're here.

I wanted to apologize for yesterday.

I needed some time to think.

I'm gonna go make some hot chocolate.

The house looks great.

It really does. You did an amazing job.

I have to get you something. One second.

Mm-hmm.

Here you go. For you.

Stacy, this is way more than what we talked about.

Well, you did a great job,

and you worked hard during the holidays.

In fact, you did such a good job, I don't wanna leave.

I can imagine.

A lot of memories in this place.

Yeah.

I got something.

I thought you hated this.

I owe you an apology.

I loved it.

That rag was the rag that...

my dad and I used to clean up with

after we made models and stuff.

And after he passed, it...

It always made me feel a little closer to him.

Sorry for how I reacted,

You broke my heart that day.

I know. I was young and stupid.

Didn't know how to deal with my feelings.

I still don't sometimes.

Can I ask you something?

Sure.

Do you still sing?

No, not really.

-Hey. -Hi.

Stacy here?

Uh... you are? I'm sorry.

Her fiance.

I think the last time I sang was with you.

Oh.

That's too bad.

I used to love it when you sang to me.

Stacy!

Stacy, Micah's here.

Baby!

How are you? Come here!

Look at this place.

It's Christmas like what your dad used to do, isn't it?

Man.

Yeah. Honey!

Hi! What are you doing here?

What, do you think I'd spend Christmas without you?

Right.

Honey, this is Ross, my childhood friend.

Hi. Hi.

Ross.

Is helping me sell the house.

And this is my...

Contractor.

I helped your lovely fiance repair the house.

Thank you for everything. This house, immaculate.

Babe, someone's gonna pay top dollar for this house

because of this guy right here.

Well, I'm gonna go.

Congrats again on the wedding.

Thanks. Oh, hey...

I just wanna say

I wish my happiness is your happiness.

Yeah. Same to you, man.

I'm gonna go lock the door and put this somewhere.

Thank you.

Come here.

Babe, look at the size of this Christmas tree!

Are those ornaments or cake pops?

Oh wait, you know what?

You have to gimme the grand tour.

Take me away.

Okay.

Okay. Um...

And this is the kitchen.

Oh, wow.

All right.

You know this is exactly the kitchen

I imagined you would design,

all the way down to the...

Yep, marble.

You're so crazy.

You didn't have to come all this way.

I was gonna be home in a couple weeks.

Crazy like you.

You know, what did you used to say? Um...

Without a, without a screw.

Something like that.

Besides, the thought of spending a holiday

without my future wife?

No. No way.

So, let's sell the house and get back home.

Hey, kiddo. Can I come in?

Are you sure you wanna do this?

It's my dream, Dad. I have to.

I know. But what about James?

I love him.

Never let dreams get in the way of love, okay, kiddo?

Hey.

Is this about the house?

Hey, what's wrong?

We don't gotta sell the house. We can keep it.

We could travel.

We could chase our dreams together

without losing your past.

Love should not get in the way of your dreams.

You're right.

I'll be right back. I just need to get some air.

Yeah.

Hey, Ross.

Everything okay?

Yeah, everything's fine, I guess. Um...

Yeah.

I just need to go for a drive to clear my head.

Okay.

But I'll call you when I get back.

You better.

Okay. Bye.

Micah?

Micah?

Stacy, I'm so sorry I didn't understand

you were so heavy-hearted.

You're the most wonderful person I've ever met,

and I love you more than myself.

I don't deserve to be loveless,

and you don't deserve to be with the wrong person.

This is the hardest thing I've ever done.

But you're free.

Chase your dreams, and don't lose love.

And don't take it for granted.

I'm gonna go back to Italy,

so, you know, don't worry, the wedding's off.

Who knows?

Maybe someday, some years from now we'll meet again,

and I hope we will be able to say to each other,

"I had a good life.

I loved, and I was loved as I deserved."

Be happy, Stacy.

I will. I promise.

Micah.

Micah knew even before I did.

We all knew, sweetie.

Love's hard to hide.

I've hurt everyone.

I need to fix this. I need to make it right.

I'm gonna need your help.

Of course.

Come on, dude! You're late!

It's Christmas, Ross. What am I even doing here?

Hey, I need help with a few things.

With Stacy gone, I need help.

I can't do it by myself.

She, she left?

Yeah, this morning. She went back home. Italy.

Come on. I'm freezing.

Okay, maybe I lied.

So, you didn't go home for Christmas?

I have a home for Christmas because of you.

What are you doing?

What I should have done a long time ago.

What about your fiance?

He's the one that made me realize I should be with you.

Does he know that?

I'm pretty sure this is not what he meant.

My life and my future are with you.

Marry me.

You know, I made that ring for you.

So ask me.

Will you marry me?

Yes. Yes, I will.

Merry Christmas, Stacy.

Merry Christmas.
