- Hey. - Morning, boss lady.

Good morning, Ella.

Ooh, did that new dryer come in yet?

- Next week. Mm-hm. - Okay.

Did I beat Miss Kimmy in?

Mm-hmm.

And it's Monday.

You know what that means.

Fresh pastries!

- I can't wait. - Oh!

- Who loves you? - Ooh!

- Miss Kimmy! - Mm-hmm.

Oh!

And all of my favs are in attendance.

Oh, I thought we were gonna have to take that thing down for a minute.

I thought so too,

until I got my email this morning.

Oh, ye of little faith.

When has the ball committee never come through?

Okay, don't get cocky just cause you've got insider info.

Oh, whatever. Get to work. We open soon.

Mm.

- See you in two weeks. Bye. - Thank you. Bye.

Let's see.

Hey, Mom, what are you doing here?

- Ooh, afternoon, Ms. Georgia. - Hey, Georgia.

Hello, all. Good, you have a minute.

Uh, actually, my next appointment…

She's late anyway.

Let's talk.

Okay, Mom. What's up?

I ran into Greg at the store the other day.

And?

He has a new woman.

And she ain't cute.

Even if she was, that would be perfectly fine

because he and I are divorced.

I left him, remember?

I know.

And have been thriving

without him for the past five years.

Has it been that long already?

Yes, Mom. Is that what you wanted to talk about?

No. So…

You know how you don't have a date for the ball?

Because I don't need a date for the ball.

Just a partner for the spotlight dance. And I have one of those.

And Kyle is a very good friend.

And a professional choreographer and dancer.

Sienna, trust me.

This is the night you wanna spend with…

Someone special.

Mom.

Special is in rare supply these days.

Do you wanna know what's not?

- Broke, needy, raggedy, untrustworthy. - Now, honey.

I may have mentioned to my neighbor's son that you were in need of a date.

Mom! You did not.

I can't believe you sometimes.

Baby, listen. I did.

And, baby girl, he's single and very interested.

We talked about boundaries before, right?

Fine.

But just think about it.

'Cause, girl, that boy grew up good.

Looks like a young Denzel…

If you squint.

That's great, Mom.

- Thank you. - You're welcome, baby.

Well, if-if that's all, I'm expecting a client soon.

- Sweetie, what's this? - Oh!

You finally settled on a design for your hair care line?

No, no, I'm…

Considering a few options.

Well, I can't wait to see what you go with.

I'm excited to see your line in stores.

Mom… I have a client coming in.

And I really need to get back to work.

Oh, it's the committee.

It's been non-stop with these people all morning.

I don't even want to know what's wrong now.

Hello.

Did Noah get approved for his military leave yet?

I mean, is he gonna make it for Christmas?

All I know is he put the request in.

I'm just praying he gets home in time for the ball 'cause my dress is gorgeous.

I mean, it would be a sin if he didn't see me in it.

Well, I still haven't bought a dress.

Maybe…

He can bring it from Dubai.

- Yeah. That'd be cute. - Mm. Okay.

Uh, Sienna…

Hey, hi.

Oh!

Ah-hm!

Hi, welcome to Divine Beauty. Can I help you?

Yeah, uh, my name is Lawrence, I own the tasting room

that's opening up a couple doors down.

I was just going door to door just to… …meet my work neighbors.

But uh, there you go.

Oh.

Hi, I'm Sienna.

- Nice to meet you. - This is my salon.

- It's nice to meet you. - Yeah, you too.

I'm not interrupting anything, am I?

No, no. It's-it's fine.

My next client is running late anyway.

Um, so your timing is actually perfect.

All right. This is…

It's lovely. I like your style.

Has an elegance to it.

It's kinda like the owner.

Hm?

- I appreciate that. - Yeah.

Uh, we haven't officially opened yet

but when we do, I hope you come through, check us out.

- Yeah, sure. - Okay.

Oh, feel free to have your wife or girlfriend stop by.

Uh, I'm actually married to my work at the moment, but thank you.

Uh-huh? Okay.

Good looking young man like yourself. I don't even believe that, sugar.

- Seriously? - Oh!

I just got off the phone with the committee.

Did they tell you where I was?

Dear, I promised I'd get back to you on your suggestions.

- Uh, Mom, no. He, um… - Wait, no, no, no.

This is your mother?

Yes, this is my daughter.

- Mr. Carter's company... - No, please, uh, call me Lawrence.

Mr. Carter's company is co-sponsoring the ball this year.

- Oh, co-sponsoring. - Yeah. Yes.

You know, thought I'd step in and help keep the ball rolling.

You know, 'cause… it's a ball.

- Right. - You get it.

- Yeah. - Okay. Good, good, good.

His company has created

some holiday wines they'll be promoting at the ball.

- Oh! Okay. - Yeah.

So if not for me,

what are you doing here?

Um…

Oh!

You wanted to give your number to my daughter.

- Oh, no. - No?

- No? - I mean, yes.

But not like that. I'm sure she is wonderful.

I'm sure that you are wonderful.

I just didn't know that she owned the salon.

Uh…

He does now.

- There you go, neighbor. - Thank you.

Very nice to meet you, Sienna.

And, Ms. Johnson, I'ma see you at the next committee meeting.

- Sounds good. - All right.

- You take care now. - Yeah.

- All right. - Bye.

Hm!

- Mom, everything okay? - That man!

Let me tell you.

He may have saved the ball

but now we have to work together.

And I don't think he's meaning to be a headache, but he is.

Well, the new ballroom is gorgeous, Georgia.

Well, the venue isn't the issue.

It's all these new ideas this man is coming up with.

And the committee didn't think he'd be this involved

with every little aspect of what we're doing.

But didn't he just spend a whole bunch of money on the new ballroom?

Not that that entitles him to having any opinion.

Well, just tell us what you said, Ms. Georgia.

I told him, "Thank you for your suggestions,"

I assured him that we'd consider them,

and then I forgot everything he asked for.

- Oh! - You ain't right, Georgia.

Mom, you cannot abuse your power like that.

Who's abusing their power?

It's two weeks before the ball. We can't make any major changes.

And plus, there was a smugness to him.

Like he thought he could boss us around

because of the money he gave and I didn't like that.

Well, why don't we talk about something you do like?

Like our girl Sienna being honored this year.

- Aw, thank you. - Oh, okay.

Well, you all know I wouldn't be able to do what I do

if it weren't for you guys, so, if I could...

Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.

First of all, we are proud of you.

And we're always glad to help out.

- That's right. - Come on.

Well, I am grateful.

You know, I was thinking about my first Tinsel Ball the other day.

Oh yes. Honey, that's where I first met you.

Mm-hm.

You had that French roll with the bangs swooped to the front.

Okay, Miss Kimmy.

- She was looking good. - Swooped?

You know what I do what I do when I can, okay?

I remember my first Tinsel ball.

I was obsessed with Diahann Carroll on Dynasty,

but my mama refused to perm my hair.

So she took a hot comb to my hair

and threw a roller set in there.

And I don't know how she did it,

but I was looking like Dominique Deveraux soon enough.

Okay…

You know, I-I-I don't know what it is, you know,

seeing the young girls come in here,

especially the first timers, to get their hair done.

I-I-I just get so excited for them.

Well, it's a big deal for the guys too.

They take it very seriously.

Especially, learning the formal dance.

Speaking of, how's the spotlight dance going for you?

Well, I haven't started practicing yet,

but I did watch the choreographer video.

- It's a waltz. - Oh.

Your father and I danced a waltz when I was an honoree.

I know, Mom. Don't worry.

I won't taint the legacy by falling over.

Oh well, it's not you I'm worried about.

Just one of the other honorees has two left feet.

Oh, mm.

I mean, who can't do the electric slide?

Oh, no!

♪ Being a lonely one this year ♪

♪ And I've been missing you baby ♪

Kyle, it has been too long.

Too long.

Oh, I see you've met our co-sponsor.

Yeah, um, he stopped by the salon.

Nice guy, right?

I mean, we haven't met, but between us,

I heard he was kinda bossy with the committee,

like the ball was all about his wine or something.

Seriously?

Huh!

I mean my mom, she said the same thing but I thought she was overreacting.

Well, you know, she is good for a story.

But not this time.

I mean, don't get me wrong, he is hell a fine.

But he's definitely got an agenda.

- Hm. - What?

Were you hoping to have a real date for the ball instead of being stuck with me?

Your best friend?

No.

Yeah, right, sis.

Hey, did you watch the dance video I sent you?

- I did. - It's nothing too complicated, right?

No crazy lifts, just beautiful lines and turns.

Look, you are gonna look like Cinderella.

The Brandy version. Of course.

Well, I wasn't aware there was another.

I love that we have the same taste.

Okay, so, if we can't put the wine display in the lobby,

how about right over there?

- What do you think? All right. Good. - Now that works better.

But I know you want your goods out front and center

but the focus should be on the honorees.

I understand, I'm not trying to take anything from anybody.

But I would like to get a little shine on our new wines. That's all.

Now, have you given any thought to the menu changes that I suggested?

I did.

And my opinion remains the same.

I know everything on the menu doesn't pair perfectly

with your wines.

But our local caterers, they have their specialties

and we need to stick with what works.

Ah, question. Now is this the opinion of the committee…

Or is it just yours?

We all agreed.

Okay. Well, maybe, just maybe seeing or tasting in this case is believing.

Now, what I'd love to do,

I love to bring in some samples from this little French Bistro that I found.

- I met the chef... - Whoa, whoa, whoa!

You met with a chef?

I did, I just wanted to get the idea...

The vendors we already have under contract

are depending on the checks from the catering.

We can't cut them out.

I'm not saying we cut them out.

I just wanna supplement the menu,

I don't wanna completely change it, Mrs. Johnson.

I think we're making a bigger deal.

You know what, it's fine.

- It's fine. We'll just... - No don't.

Cross that out.

Wow, you must be proud.

She deserves it.

She works so hard

but still finds time to help others.

Something tells me she gets that from you.

I'm just glad she's got it.

You know, that thing on the inside

that compels you to look beyond yourself?

Yeah. That's why events like this are so important.

They remind us of the good being done.

In fact, my parents co-founded this ball back in '64.

- Really? - Mm-hm.

During the Civil Rights movement.

It started as just a community potluck at Christmas.

It was a fun way to support small businesses

and community leaders

when we really needed to be lifted up.

It's grown more lavish,

but it's always been rooted in charity

and honoring the people out in the street.

Yeah.

Oh!

It's truly inspiring, the work that these people do.

And all I ask…

Is that you remember that

while we keep working together.

It's a deal.

All right.

Hey, where's Sienna?

Dropping supplies at the shelter. What's up?

I have a video chat scheduled with Noah in like two minutes.

Can you just finish my client up for me? I'll just be a few minutes.

- I got you. Don't worry. - Thank you.

Oh, and let Sienna know her special conditioner is almost empty.

- We need a new batch already? - Oh, yes.

Oh, and whatever happened to that manufacturing deal?

That's all she would talk about last year.

Well, from what I heard, the timing wasn't right.

- The timing? - Mm.

Please. Good hair care is needed every day.

Ha! Period, sis.

Hey, how you doing?

Oh, girl.

You look a little tired, sergeant.

Are you getting enough sleep?

I'm fine.

Don't worry about me.

Well, that's an impossible ask.

You know that.

Okay.

Then let me give you something else to focus on.

I finally got a response to my request for leave.

And?

I really like your hair like this. It's cute.

Okay, Noah. Do not play with me right now.

Are you clear to come home?

I take it Noah will be home for Christmas.

My man gets home two days before the ball.

That's good.

'Cause now you guys can have a little bit of time

to try to learn one of them group dances.

Yup.

- Now, Miss Kimmy… - Hm?

I know this is your first Christmas without Mr. J…

Have you given more thought to going to the ball with anybody?

- Maybe a friend? - You're not gonna let this go, are you?

Ella, I told you, I don't need a plus one.

Well, that doesn't change the fact that there's someone

who wants to be added to your equation.

Okay, you gonna stop playing with me, little girl.

What, we just gonna pretend Mr. Terry doesn't have a crush on you?

Uh, he doesn't.

- Oh. - Okay.

It's not like he's some scrub.

He is the owner of Terry's Soul.

That's one of the best restaurants in town.

I mean, when's the last time you paid for a meal there?

Okay, you know what?

You betta get her.

She's a trip.

How you doing?

Hey, hi.

- I'm good. - Yeah.

- You mind if I... - Yeah, please do.

- You sure? I don't wanna… - Yes.

- No. - Okay, all right.

- This is crazy, right? - Yeah.

Hey, Mr. Terry, how are you?

Oh, thank you. Thank you very much.

♪ I heard the bells go off the… ♪

Oh, this looks amazing.

Mm-hm.

How long have you been vegan?

No, no, I'm not vegan.

I just think the food here slaps.

- So… - So…

- Where'd you move from? - California.

Yeah, my family's vineyard is in Napa.

And so, I've been here, God, like a month.

- Napa? - Mm-hm.

My grandfather started the company.

We're like, three generations in at this point.

- Wow, that's impressive. - Yeah.

My roots will always be in Napa

but setting up shop in Atlanta, it was just, it's a no-brainer.

I mean, I like the food here

the-the art, the history,

it's like a whole Black cultural experience.

I just, I wanted my company in the mix of all that.

- It's called Uzuri, right? - Mm-hm.

- Am I pronouncing it correctly? - Yes, you are.

It means beauty in Swahili.

It's actually what my grandfather would call my grandmother.

He'd always say that their love strengthened the vines.

- So he was a romantic. - Mm-hm. He was.

Mm.

Um, so how is the ball prep coming?

Uh, good. I was able to catch up on some of the honorees.

You know the grooming van that you take to different shelters,

that's just, God, Sienna, it's incredibly kind.

- Thanks. - Yeah.

It's gotta be hard.

Oh, yeah. It is, but…

Seeing what it does for their spirits makes it so worth it.

And then your mother told me

that your grandparents co-founded the event.

It actually makes sense

because she is such a stickler for all the ball's traditions.

She's just trying to preserve what your family created.

I get it.

You have a beautiful smile.

Hmm.

- Thank you. - Yeah.

So, uh, we're doing a couple of holiday wines this year.

Uh, one red and one white.

A good bottle makes a great gift.

Yeah. So, I would love for you to come by the shop tonight.

And I just wanna get your opinion on the wines.

- What-what, uh, tonight? - Yeah.

Um…

I, uh… I wish I could

but I have a lot going on so, uh,

maybe some other time?

Sure. No worries, I'm not going anywhere.

♪ For the holidays ♪

Nice. Do a really nice wash…

All right. And it's best to wrap it every night.

Bye.

Oh, I'll take that.

Thank you.

It's for me.

Oh my God! It's from Noah.

He got us Christmas ornaments.

- Us? - Yes.

- Okay, wait. Excuse me. - Oops! Excuse me. I'll be right back.

Hey, he already had our approval,

but I don't mind a young man that keeps trying.

- Right? - Oh, wow!

- Oh! - Oh, that's beautiful. What in the...

- Aw! - That's beautiful.

Let me get this box for you, babe.

What we got here?

Oh, wow!

This is for you.

Bless his heart.

Aw!

Oh!

Child. This is from Memorial Day.

Boy, we had a good time that day, didn't we?

- We had a time. - Oh my God!

This was y'all rescuing me from that terrible date.

And I told you that guy's profile was sketchy.

Yes, you did.

But Noah was such a saint to come with you.

This was two years ago.

The night I met his parents.

- Oh! - Mm.

Let's put them on the tree.

- Okay. - Okay.

If anyone can cure your two left feet, it's Kyle.

- What? - Ha ha ha!

Hey! I know how to dance.

Oh.

- You gonna try that? - What?

- I don't know how to dance? - I'm not saying nothing.

Ooh, girl. Good day.

- See you tomorrow. - Okay.

- Drive safe. - You too.

Hm.

Oh, oh!

Sienna.

Sienna, I can see you.

What are you doing?

- Hi. - Hi.

Um, uh…

I, uh…

You, um, had asked me, um, to stop by the other day.

Uh, but I didn't think I'd have enough time.

Just, stop. Please come in.

- I can't stay too long. - That's okay.

I'll take whatever time I can get.

- Come on, get in here. - Okay.

- Thank you. - How long have you, uh, been out here?

Um, yeah, I'm still waiting on a few shipments to come in, but…

It's really nice in here.

Thank you.

So, what do you recommend?

♪ Every year for Christmastime ♪

All right, now listen, if we are gonna do this

we're going to do this properly, okay?

Because there is an order to things and we are not savages.

So, we start, we see it

we swirl it, we smell it,

we sip it, and finally, we savor it.

So I want you to grab the wine.

- Okay. Okay. - Yeah, just lift-lift it up.

- Like that? All right. - Yeah, just like that.

What we're looking at, we're looking at the wine's color.

-You're looking at its clarity -Ah!

And from that we can actually tell, the age of the wine,

we can even tell what kind of grapes were used to make it.

Yeah, just give it like a gentle swirl.

Yeah. Kind of waking up the aromas.

- Like this? - Yep. Yep.

And what do you smell?

- Yeah. - Okay.

Um…

I'm getting peach.

Right.

Honey.

And something else. Uh…

- Is it plum? - It's apricot, but very close.

Yeah, now we sip

and uh, no, before you sip,

uh, I just want you to pay close attention

to how those flavors combine.

Okay, uh…

- Ooh! - Hm. It's good?

This is really good.

From the smell I thought it might be too sweet but it's not.

Yeah, there you go.

You have a very keen sense of smell. There you go.

Water, to cleanse the palate.

Oh, scent is very important in hair care, you know.

The way your hair smells, it leaves an impression.

Yes, you know, it's kind of like a fine wine.

Uh, now this is our red blend.

- Hm. - I want you to try that.

- Um… - Let me see what you got.

And I'm watching you.

- So serious. - Yeah, you know.

Wine is, uh, it's a very serious business.

- Mm-hm. - Okay.

- Swirl. - Mm-hm. Now smell.

- Yeah. - Ooh.

I'm getting berries…

And maybe some spices.

That's not bad.

Mm.

- Ptch! I love that. - Yeah.

Good, it took years to perfect that.

Well, not that I doubted it, but…

…I can tell, you genuinely love your job.

Oh, I do. Look, I know most people, you know, they…

I'm aware, they look at me and they don't think wine connoisseur

but my dad, he, he had me train, he had me work as a sommelier for years,

and um, yeah, I think he just, you know, he wanted to be sure that he could trust

passing the company reins to me.

- Wait, so you're in charge now? - Mm-hm.

This is my first official year in the boss's chair.

- Wow! - Yeah.

- Congratulations. - Thank you very much.

So, have the parents started micromanaging yet?

How did you know?

No, I did, I listen, I…

I broke away from tradition when I moved here

but we needed more visibility if we were gonna last.

You know, brand recognition is so important.

And it was so difficult in such a, such a overcrowded industry.

- Does that make any sense? - Yeah, no.

I could totally relate to that.

I'm developing my own hair care line.

- Really? - Yeah.

And it's just so many other brands out there.

- The market is too saturated. - It is.

And it is really hard to find ways to stand out.

That's why promoting the wine at the ball

I think is a great way to introduce this place to the community.

And convince my parents that I'm not trying to run our company into the ground.

Well, I'm no expert, but you've created something really beautiful here.

- Yeah? - Yeah.

People are gonna love it.

Oh! My gosh, and this is, this is so good.

I thought I was gonna have to lie to be nice, but…

- To the ball. - To the ball.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

- I just need you to sign. - Here? Okay.

Chin up. Eye contact.

I wanted to ask you, now this number here, uh, uh, is this a typo?

- Because this is... - No, no, no, no.

She's been with us since day one.

- And this what she makes. - That's what she makes.

Sienna.

- Hey, booboo. - My queen.

Thank you so much for partnering up with me on this.

- Of course. - All right, that does it.

Do you think you got the choreo down?

Yes. Yes. Good to go.

- Right, let's get started. - Okay.

They've known each other since high school.

- Mm. - They're really good friends.

Yeah, he seems like a, a really nice guy.

He is.

We used to call him, Ella, and Sienna The Three Musketeers.

They've always had each other's backs.

So you know how much I adore you, right?

Yes.

Well, I fear Ella more than I adore you.

What?

I just want you to know who to blame for what's about to happen.

- Aah! - Oh my God!

- Kyle, are you okay? - Kyle?

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Whoa!

Are you all right?

It's just an old dance injury. It flares up from time to time.

Lawrence, get him a chair, please.

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

Lawrence, um…

I, actually like you to stand in for me.

You want me to stand in for you?

Yeah, well, she has no time to waste. She has to learn this dance.

No, no, no. Kyle, you and I can just...

It's actually better this way.

I can see what you guys are doing.

It's easier for me to make adjustments.

- Okay. - Look, I know you're very busy.

But Miss Georgia is a veteran at putting on the ball.

You can trust her. She'll take care of things. Right?

Well, he's not wrong about that.

Um, okay, sure, yeah. I'll do it.

Great. Okay. So, this is a Waltz.

So, let's get into our hold.

- Okay, I'm sorry. - Okay.

This is… Okay.

- Yes, I know. - Okay. Okay.

- Beautiful. I'm gonna restart the music. - Okay.

I am so sorry.

Usually, he is…

Really healthy.

Yeah, no, it's okay, I don't, I don't mind.

- All right. Are we ready? - Yeah.

- Ready? - And…

One, two, three. One, two, three. Turn, two, three.

Turn, two, three.

Ah-huh.

Wow!

This isn't your first Waltz.

I may have seen an online tutorial or two.

Now, don't laugh I gotta be prepared.

Oh, I'm sorry,

I was just picturing you at home alone practicing.

- Who says I was alone? - Yes, yes, that's it, that's it.

Hold that eye contact.

And rise to standing.

I was.

Whoa!

So, um…

Do you have a date for the ball?

You know what, I just haven't had any free time to find one yet.

Do, um…

Honorees get a free bottle of wine?

You. Which one would you like?

And both is not a option.

I'll leave that up to you then.

All right.

- Oh! - Very nice, Lawrence.

Thank you, thank you.

If it wasn't for this knee, I'd have to list you as an alternate.

- Hey, I'm here if you need me. - Really?

Yeah.

Well, better safe than sorry.

- Might as well just have you... - No, no. Kyle.

Sienna, this is a once-in-a-lifetime moment.

It's for everyone to see you shine.

And it's meant to be shared with someone important.

Well… We've barely just met.

Didn't look like that to me.

I have a feeling you're gonna recover just fine.

Do you not see the condition of this knee?

Can you think about someone else other than yourself for two seconds?

Yes. This is the whole reason I'm being spotlighted, Kyle.

Okay, you stop making sense. I'm getting an ice pack.

- Lawrence? - Hm?

- You're taking my place. - Yes, sir.

- Oh. - Oh.

I'm gonna murder Ella.

- What was that? Oh. - Nothing.

Um…

Wha…

You really do not have to do this.

So, wait, you don't, you don't want me to?

- No. - Oh. Well, good.

Sienna?

Hey. What's up?

Is there something going on between you and our co-sponsor?

What? No. Mom…

Kyle. He is just being messy.

Maybe.

But there definitely seems more to it than that.

- I'm not trying to pry... - Yes, you are.

Mom, Lawrence and I, we're…

…we're dance partners.

- Ah-huh? - Mm-hm.

Careful. He might just two-step right into your heart.

Mom.

Oh girl, please.

Come on, walk your mother to the car.

- Mother is always right. - I cannot believe you.

Girl…

I cannot believe you told Kyle…

Hey. What's wrong?

Noah…

Something happened.

Some emergency.

His unit's out there tending to a mission and…

There's nothing he can do. He's okay, but he's not coming home.

I am so sorry.

It's okay.

I already knew this could happen. It's just the reality of it.

You know he would be here if he could.

I do.

It's just…

I don't know if I can keep doing this long term.

I mean, there's another year left in his current tour, and…

I don't know where they will assign him next.

Ella…

You two love each other so much.

And if there was anyone

that could weather the distance, it's you two.

I used to believe that.

But sometimes…

Oh!

Sometimes I miss him so much it hurts.

Listen.

You will get through this.

I'm here anytime you need to talk.

- Okay? - Mm-hm.

I got you.

- Morning, ladies. - It's okay.

Okay, what's wrong, Ell?

Noah's leave's been canceled.

- No! - Yeah.

It's okay.

- I'm okay. - Well, then why are you crying?

- Because I'm not okay! - Oh, baby!

It's gonna be okay. Mm-hm. Noah's gonna be all right, honey.

And you know, you got this to lean on.

Well, I can tell you all something that'll…

Make you feel better.

- What? - Y'all were right.

Mr. Terry asked me to the ball.

No, calm down.

No, not doing that. I said no.

Hasn't even been a full year Mr. J done passed.

I still can't believe he had the nerve to ask me.

I can.

He's been eyeing you for years.

Mm-hm. I get a headache, honey, thinking about dating.

Oof! I don't know how y'all do it.

All these apps and I seen that show Catfish.

Oh, it is a jungle out there.

Mm-hm.

You know what would really make me really happy?

What?

One of your famous Christmas pies.

Normally, you would've had two brought to the salon by now.

Is your oven broken?

No. Just, um…

I'll take a break from baking.

A break from baking?

At Christmas?

- What's going on? - Nothing. Nothing.

Miss Kimmy.

I'm just not in the mood right now. Okay?

You're still coming to Christmas dinner with my family though, right?

Yes, and I've already told your mom

not to expect a pie this year.

- And she took it pretty hard. - I understand her pain.

Look, I know y'all like to give me all the credit.

But that's because he let me have it.

We both came up with that recipe.

It was our Christmas tradition.

We'd put on those holiday aprons.

And he always insisted on putting on one of those Santa hats.

That was his uniform. Okay.

And you know and, we'd always have the music playing

'cause you can't bake without the proper playlist.

Mm-hm. I know The Temptations made the cut.

- Mm. - Little Stevie Wonder.

Always.

But his favorite was Nat King Cole.

- Mm. - Yeah.

That was our Christmas bakes.

Pies, cookies, cakes.

I'd have to pull a teeth to get that man to make dinner

but a gingerbread house?

Oh, yeah, I guess somehow that was his lane.

Look, I know we can't replace him,

but we would love to help you keep tradition alive.

Yeah.

And when Noah does get home I need him to try that pie, Miss Kimmy.

Okay, that pie could get me a ring.

Yeah.

Oh, mm.

You know you can talk to us about anything, right?

And I know, I make jokes to keep things light,

but… I see how sad you are sometimes.

Yeah, me too.

We are here for you…

Just as much as you are for us.

I know that.

And I appreciate it.

Well, maybe I should share the recipe.

I think he would want me to pass it down the family.

- Mm-hm. - My family.

- Aw. My babies. My babies. - Aw, you know, we love you.

I love you. Thank you, babies.

Thank you. Thank you.

All right, well, let's get to work soon.

Oh!

Mhm.

Mm.

Mm.

- Hello. - Hi.

It's Lawrence.

Hi.

- How are you? - I'm good.

Uh, listen, I hope you don't mind

but I got your cell from the, you know, honoree info sheet.

Um, how are you doing?

I'm… I'm good.

And thanks for the save the other day.

I… I really appreciate you stepping in the way you did.

That's no problem. I was glad I could help.

Um…

So, listen I was uh,

I was calling because, um…

I thought we should go out to dinner tonight.

- Dinner? - Dinner.

Yeah, I've been dining solo ever since I got here.

And I figured, you wouldn't be the worst company.

So, yeah, dinner.

Wow!

What an invitation. How could I possibly turn that down?

All right, I figured since we're dancing partners

it, you know, might help if we get to know each other a little better.

You know, improve our… our chemistry on the dance floor.

Okay, yeah, um…

Okay, it's a date.

Sure, dinner sounds great.

I, uh, I-I gotta go.

Uh, text me the details?

Okay. All right, bye.

Your client just got here.

Great. I'll be out in a minute.

You look a little flushed.

- Are you all right? - Um…

Yeah, I'm fine.

Okay, boss lady, what are you up to?

I just got off the phone with Lawrence.

- Oh! - I know.

He invited me out to dinner.

Okay, first date. Let's go!

Calm down.

I'm not trying to rush into anything, but…

I'm not gonna lie, I'm… excited.

You know, I love this for you.

He seems to really have his stuff together.

My gosh!

The butterflies are starting to rise,

which is crazy because I haven't felt this way in forever.

Crazy good.

Sienna, enjoy this moment.

Aw!

I'm gonna try.

Ouch!

Don't think I forgot about that foolery you pulled with Kyle.

Okay, I'm sorry. It's just…

After your little late night rendezvous...

Ouch!

I mean, wine tasting session,

that he piqued your interest.

And I was right!

I gotta stop telling you things.

No, you don't.

You're worse than my mother sometimes.

And you love it!

This is... Oh, this is... Oh, hey.

Thank you very much.

- All right. - Thank you. Ah.

- Love this place. - I know.

Kyle may have mentioned it to me.

Of course he did.

What else has he told you?

Why, are you scared?

- Oh. - No.

- Is everything okay? - Yes, everything is fine.

It's just, it's exhausting having

every decision that you make second-guessed.

It's like, you start doubting, you know, "Am I making the right choices," you know?

- Is that your dad? - Yes, it is my dad.

It's like he wants me to do everything exactly the way he did it.

But I'm saying, we're not gonna last if we don't evolve.

- Mm-hm. - You know, risks are necessary.

But also scary.

Maybe, he is just a little worried.

What, even so, you know, it would be nice to feel supported.

That's all I'm saying.

Well, I understand what it's like to be a boss.

From what you told me before, you didn't just move out here on a whim.

You know what you're doing,

and soon enough you'll prove that to him.

- Just trust your instincts. - Hm.

You know what my instincts are telling me right now?

My instincts are saying that there is no way a woman as beautiful as you are

should have been bringing a friend to the ball.

How does that happen?

Well, I'm divorced.

That was five years ago, so, I'm well over it.

But I don't know, I've just been unlucky

with the men I've been dating recently.

You sound like me.

I mean, not the divorce part but just really bad luck with women

and just, it's tiring trying to find...

The one?

Exactly. Yeah.

And then it's hard to just keep putting yourself out there.

Tell me about it.

I don't know if it actually was,

but I do remember dating being much easier when I was younger.

Yeah. I don't know, maybe we just, we're getting old

and we're just too lazy.

Maybe? I don't know.

Just, I don't know.

So, what happened in your marriage?

And if it's too personal, you know, I…

No, no, it's fine. Um…

I just wasn't getting the same level of support I was giving.

He didn't want me to start my own business.

He discouraged me whenever I brought it up.

Hm.

You know, I think some men are just intimidated by successful women.

But good for you, for not giving up your dreams.

Ptch! Aw!

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

So, where you at with the hair care line?

Ah, nowhere.

I keep going back and forth.

I mean, I've crunched the numbers,

I've done the research

but honestly, I don't know if I'm ready to take on the stress of it all.

But you love what you do, right?

- Right? - Yeah.

So, let's say, for me, right,

the company wasn't just something that I inherited.

Like, wine is my passion

so, why wouldn't this new hair care line

be, you know, like an extension of what you love?

It would.

At first I just wanted to make quality, affordable hair care products,

especially after I started the grooming van service.

So many of the shelters we visit

rely on donations of toiletries.

That's where I come in.

- What? - Nothing.

It's just, it's something that your mother said.

What do you mean?

Uh, she said, how did she put it?

Uh, she said that you have a selfless side

that creeps into everything that you do.

Well, that's a mother's love for you.

Yeah. It's also the truth.

I mean, listen, I've… I've never started a business from scratch

but you and I both know how hard it is to do, right?

What you wanna do with this hair care line,

Sienna, it would help so many people.

I just don't wanna see you abandon your dream.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

I think this dance partner thing might work out better than I thought.

Wait a second, are you saying that I'm exceeding expectations?

I'll do my best not to step on your toes.

That's okay, I can handle it.

I'm a lot to handle.

Then, I'd get a gym membership quick.

So, you don't mind putting in the extra work?

Ooh, not for the right person.

Okay.

I'll toast to that.

Mm. It's not as good as yours.

Definitely not.

So, have you fallen in love yet?

- Oh, with Atlanta. - Oh.

Yes. I am falling hard for Atlanta.

Good, because I think it's a great fit for you.

I bet you do.

Come on.

You feeling good about the spotlight dance?

You know, I'm a little nervous about that.

I got you.

Thank you.

Oh.

Wow.

- This is beautiful. - Right?

Um…

By the way…

You know, Kyle was faking his injury.

Yes.

Do you know I saw Kyle jogging to his car

like two seconds after he limped away from us.

Ah! He couldn't help trying to play cupid.

Mm, kinda glad that he did though.

Otherwise who knows how long it would've taken

to get you into my arms.

We do make really good dance partners.

Hm, but the question is…

Is that all?

I knew it!

Lawrence done snatching my girl's whole heart right up outta her chest.

- Stop it. - Why?

You literally have been glowing for the last few days.

The boy got you floating around the salon like Tinker Bell.

Okay, okay. Fine.

I will admit it.

Things have been going great between us.

I mean…

…amazing.

- I feel a "but" coming on. - Mm-hm.

But…

I think that's what has me a little nervous.

I mean, I haven't felt this way about a guy since Greg,

and we all know how that turned out.

Okay, Sienna, you can't measure every man by your ex's toxic traits.

I know, it's just the way he switched up on me

that has me questioning my judgment right now.

Okay, you are not the same woman.

Your priorities have completely changed.

And you know exactly who you are and exactly what you want.

Ah!

I know.

But a part of me is waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Either Lawrence has no red flags…

Or they're extremely well-hidden.

Okay, it's… it's natural

for you to be fearful after you've been burned.

But you gotta be brave with love. Be bold.

I'm trying.

I am.

I'm doing my best not to be too much in my head about things

and just enjoy this feeling.

As you should.

And the timing couldn't be more perfect.

You'll get to share the one night out of the year

that we get to dress up like royalty and be treated like it too.

That part, mm-hm.

Is it dumb to wanna coordinate our outfits?

Uh-uh!

- What? - No way.

Okay, no, baby, no. It's not, no.

It's old, but it ain't dumb.

Okay, but…

What do you feel about him?

Yeah, Sienna. Is he about to be your new man or what?

I think I want him to be.

I really like him, y'all.

Okay, okay, so, what we have to do next

is we have to make him one of my Christmas pies.

Oh, honey, one bite and his stomach won't let you go.

- Okay, let's get started. Come on, girls. - Oh, wait, wait, wait, hold up. Hold up.

- What? - Ah!

- That's right. The aprons. - There you go.

We had to get in uniform.

- Mrs. Claus. - Thank you.

- Ooh, I've got the tunes. - All right. Okay, all right.

Time to get that man, Sienna.

Let's grab a bowl, grab some flour.

Yes, let's make it happen. Okay.

You do know how to crack an egg now, don't you?

- Can she crack a egg? I don't know. - What?

Okay. All right. Yes.

- I'm not sayin' nothin'. - Okay. Okay, yes.

I like what you're doing over there.

Can I say something, what I think you need to… Hey, question.

Why do you think I chose the ball?

Do you know how many influential people will be there?

The company is my priority.

Look, I have zero issues, I will pack up, I will leave tomorrow if need be.

Yeah, are you ser… Sienna, are you serious?

Listen, and she is not a distr...

I already told you, Sienna is not going to be a prob...

I… I gotta go.

Look, I gotta go. I'll call you back.

Um…

Hey, listen, Sienna.

- So, I won't be a problem? - No, no, no, no, no, no.

It's not how it sounded, okay? I… I... Let me just explain.

Oh, explain how easy it is for you to just up and leave?

Please! Please explain.

Because stupid me was believing that this thing between us

actually might mean something to you.

Especially after last night.

I know you're upset, okay, but please know last night wasn't nothing to me.

- You know that. - I'm still waiting for an explanation.

Okay, I was on the phone with my dad. We got into it over the financials.

He doesn't truly trust the new direction that I'm tryin' to move in.

And basically, he threatened to replace me

with my brother if the launch doesn't go well.

Guess, the numbers for the holiday wine are off...

Does it look like I care about your sales figures?

Using the ball to launch the wine, that was my idea.

Okay, do you… do you have any idea how much pressure I'm under right now?

Right.

So I may not be a distraction

to your business plans as you said,

but I am a good way to pass time

while you see if this expansion experiment works.

That was just my way of doubling down.

And what if it doesn't work, huh? What then?

But it will.

It will. You just have to trust me. Okay, listen, if this relationship...

What relationship?

Don't do that. Please, don't do that.

Don't pretend like you don't know how I feel.

Don't pretend like I don't have a reason to not trust you.

But you don't. You know you don't.

I don't know, like what this is

but I am being completely honest with you right now.

It's almost like you need me to be a bad guy or something.

What? That's not true.

I came here to tell you that…

You came to tell me what?

What were you gonna say?

It doesn't matter anymore.

Sienna!

What were you gonna say?

"Be bold," you said, "It'll be fine," you said.

Look, he sounds stuck between a rock and hard place.

He's obviously being pressured.

Well, I know that.

But why start a relationship

if it's not something you can truly commit to?

But did he say that?

'Cause I don't think that's what he was saying.

Uh, I'm sorry. Are you taking his side now?

Okay, don't be ridiculous.

I'm just usually a really great judge of character.

You know that.

But hon, you know what?

At the end of the day, we still got each other, right?

So okay, no Noah, no Lawrence…

No problem.

I would love to be your date for the ball.

Aw. I love you so much.

Okay, sis, I'm gonna need you to slow down on that pie.

Yeah, you still need to fit into your dress.

I'm not mad, just disappointed.

I thought you saw this ball as more than just a stepping stone.

Mrs. Johnson, I do.

Look, I… I understand what this ball means to your family,

I understand what it means to the city.

I respected every decision

that the committee made.

Okay, because this is not just another opportunity

for me anymore.

I don't know what Sienna told you, but, uh, she...

Kyle requested that he be listed as Sienna's dance partner.

And I can see you're just as upset as she is.

I just wish I could fix it.

You know?

I just feel misunderstood, Mrs. Johnson.

Ptch! Lawrence…

I know you're a good man.

I've seen that.

But I think you just have to decide…

If it's worth trying to clear things up.

We did that, boss man.

- Oh! - Lord.

Billie Holiday always looks so elegant in this style.

I've always wanted to try it.

Mm.

Ooh! Yes, yes.

- It suits you. - Mm-hm.

I hate seeing her like that.

Tonight's supposed to be her big night.

You know what, it'll be fine.

We're all gonna be there with her.

And Kyle's doing the spotlight dance with her.

Yeah, but I feel kinda guilty for pushing her toward Lawrence.

- Well, don't. - Hm?

Georgia, do you know something we don't know?

I know my daughter is stubborn

and she should have picked up the phone when he called.

Oh!

It's not like he doesn't know where she works.

Uh, not with you two standing guard.

He isn't stupid.

Miss Georgia, I'ma need you to spill the beans.

Or you're about to be walking out here looking like buckwheat.

Ooh!

Okay, you know, I'm not serious. But come on.

What's going on?

One second.

Mom, what are you doing?

Me?

What are you doing?

I'm only going to say this once

and then you're gonna do what you're going to do.

Mom...

There are no perfect men women, or conditions when it comes to love.

They're either someone worth fighting for or they're not.

And, baby, I think you're just too scared

to get back in the ring.

Which is a shame…

Because I've waited a very long time

to see you as happy as Lawrence makes you.

Okay?

Now, Ella is just about finished with my hair,

but I didn't want to forget

to give you this.

Mom, is that...

It's the necklace your grandmother gave me the year I was an honoree.

I thought it'd be nice for you to have something

from the both of us tonight.

But you don't have to wear it if you don't want to.

Thank you.

Don't let anything spoil how special tonight is.

It's Christmastime.

We're all together and I promise you, Sienna,

you will remember this night

for the rest of your life.

Aww, that is so sweet.

Little mama-daughter b...

- Uh, Kimmy? - Mm?

I know that is not your Christmas pie.

It is.

The same Christmas pie you said you wouldn't be bringing to Christmas dinner?

The same Christmas pie

I had to mentally prepare my heart and my body not to receive?

That Christmas pie?

Yes, one and the same.

But thankfully…

Uh, had a little help

pushing me through that baker's block.

And uh, I can assure you

that you will have a fresh pie on Christmas day.

Oh! Thank God for that.

Listen, dear. I know this season has been hard for you.

But this pie on our table

brings him there with us.

Him and all the good memories.

He loved your sweet potato pie too.

You know, I've been getting into pumpkin pie lately.

What?

I didn't say it was better.

All right.

Chop-chop, belles, we've got a ball to get to.

Yes.

- Let's get ready, ladies. - All right.

Uh-huh. I know what you doing.

Hello, darling. How are you?

You look beautiful.

Thank you. Thank you for coming.

Hey, sweetie.

Oh, smoked salmon.

I will. Thank you very much.

Mr. Terry.

- Hey, Sienna. - Oh.

- Hey. - You look blindingly beautiful tonight.

Aw, thank you.

And you look amazing as well.

Yes. Yes, I do.

Well, the committee really stepped it up this year.

- Mm. - They had some help, of course.

I'm just really glad everything came together.

Have you seen our co-sponsor yet tonight?

Not yet.

Because you're avoiding him or…

No, no, I just…

I just haven't ran into him yet.

But I'm sure, when I see him it'll be fine.

I mean, we're both adults. Right?

This event is bigger than the both of us.

Right.

So, let's celebrate.

Yes, let's.

Hm! This is good.

Have you had this before?

- I have. - Hm.

- I'm gonna go. - Yeah.

Yeah. Okay.

Hey, get up.

You have paid too much for this dress

for everyone not to see it.

Listen, I know Noah is not here.

But he can't miss out on how beautiful you are.

Come on, let's go.

We're gonna take a picture. Stand right in front of the Christmas trees.

- Okay. - Ah.

Ah, right here?

To the right.

Uh, like this?

Um, maybe to the left a little bit.

- Here? - Perfect.

Oh wait, does my hair look good?

He's gonna love it.

Okay. Cheese.

Here, take a look.

Okay. Let me see.

Hey, did I get photo bombed?

- Noah? - Sorry, I'm late.

- Wait. Did you know that he was coming? - Uh, I had no idea until now.

I swear.

How are you even here right now?

The mission was handled quicker than we thought it would take.

I rushed home as soon as I could. I wanted to surprise you.

I love you.

I love you too.

Aw!

Good evening.

Oh, and Merry Christmas.

Um… Wow. It's great to see everybody here.

Y'all look beautiful.

Um, co-sponsoring this ball has just been a…

It's been an absolute joy

and I know that um,

well, our partnership, it… it happened suddenly but um…

Boy, I've really, really treasured this time.

You know, here in Atlanta, um…

Uh, I think I found the type of beauty that my grandfather found

when he started this company.

It's the type of beauty that, uh,

that strengthens the vines of our vineyards.

So, it's my hope, it's my wish

that Uzuri Wines will continue to be a part

of such an amazing tradition for years and years to come.

A tradition that the ball committee worked really hard to make happen.

So let's give it up for them.

And we love to bring up our lovely host for this evening,

Mrs. Georgia Johnson. Please, let me help you.

Whoo!

Whoo-hoo!

- There you are. - Thank you. Thank you so much.

Well, this town…

This town has always has shown up and shown out.

Thank you so much for the generous donations

that have already been made

to support our local charities.

And a huge thank you to our co-sponsor.

We could not have done this without your support this year.

- Thank you. - Give him a hand, guys.

Now, the people that are being honored

give of themselves all year round.

Their acts of kindness,

they make our community stronger.

And they remind us of the positive change

that every single person in this room can make possible.

Well, the party is just getting started, y'all.

So, let's have a good time and Merry Christmas!

Now did you pick up what Lawrence was putting down?

I did.

Good, because he's standing right over there.

Oh and quick word of advice…

Please bring down one of those walls that are guarding your heart.

I don't think he means to break it.

- Hi. - Hi.

Wow, you look incredible.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

It's so crazy.

- Ah… - Okay, stop.

- No… - Ooh, I want you to try this.

- All right. Mm-hm. - Okay. Ready? All right.

- Mm! This is good. - Mm-hm. I told you.

It is not as good as Kimmy's Christmas pie though.

You've been gassing this pie up for months.

That's because it's true.

- I missed you. - I missed you too.

You know, I called.

I know. I just…

I wasn't in the right headspace to listen.

Hm.

What about now?

- Now? - Now.

Well, I've had some time to think

and our last conversation didn't have to be what it was.

I feel like the smartest thing for both of us,

is for you to…

…have some time

to figure out what's best for your company.

Wow!

And I don't want to add to the stress of any of that.

And now for the first of our spotlight dances.

Please welcome to the floor

Sienna Johnson and Kyle Harris.

I um… asked Kyle after...

I know.

You're gonna do great.

Thank you.

You look so beautiful out there, Sienna.

- Thank you. - Congrats.

No, I really appreciate that.

- I just... - So, I've...

- No, you-you, you go ahead. - And...

- I don't wanna… You wanna go... - No, please.

Okay, I'll go.

Um…

I wasn't expecting to meet someone so quickly

after I moved here and then there you were.

And I can't help that I wanna spend more time with you.

I can't help that I wanna be more than just friends. I…

And look, I know that you have doubts about how serious I am about you

but what you heard the other night, that's no reflection...

No, no, no, I… I know.

The thing is, you were right about me needing something to be wrong.

I'm just so used to the worst case scenario being true

when it comes to men.

I was just trying to get ahead of the heartbreak.

Hm.

And that wasn't fair for you.

I'm sorry.

Okay, I'm gonna say it

and I know you think it's too soon

but, Sienna, I know how I feel.

- Listen, I... - I really like you.

You do?

That's what I was coming to tell you that night.

That's what you were gonna say?

And I think that's why

I was reacting as strongly as I did.

I understand. I would've done the same thing. I…

Yeah.

So you feeling me?

- I am. - Wow.

Well, that's good.

That is good.

Because I…

Am feeling you too.

Okay, okay.

- Say I'm old. Mm-hm. - Yeah, mm-hm.

You know, I am so happy that Noah made it back.

Aw, me too. They're so sweet together.

They are, mm-hm!

Miss Kimmy.

Mm, what's up?

Mr. Terry has entered the chat.

Hey.

Won't you give it up already?

Girl, he is hoping for a Christmas miracle.

Hm! Looks like Lawrence already got his.

Okay.

- Hey. - Hey, Mr. Napa. How you doing?

- I'm doing well. Thank you for asking. - Hey.

- Is everything okay? - Oh, it's better than okay.

Pics from the ball are trending all over social media.

The amount of mentions the company is getting

it's just, it's insane.

Traffic on the web page is just blowing up.

And the preorders for the new wines are pouring in.

I know.

- Wow! Lawrence! - I know.

Congratulations. Aw.

Wait, wait, you know what's really wild? My dad calls me to apologize.

Like I'm still kind of in shock about that.

It's like he's finally starting to get a little more confidence in me.

- As he should. - Mm-hm.

- We tryna dance a little bit? - Yes. Key-key.

Get in here. Let me get in here. Hey, there. Just hop with it.

Hop with it. Hop with it.

And now, for our final honoree.

It is my absolute pleasure

to give this award to Sienna Johnson,

owner of Divine Beauty.

- Congratulations. - Thank you so much.

Uh!

- Aw, thank you, Mom. - You're welcome.

- I love you so much. - Congratulations.

Thank you.

Gosh, this is beautiful.

Um…

Thanks to everyone who nominated me.

You know, I get to go to work every day

grateful for the opportunity to help some of the most vulnerable people

in our community feel cared for and safe.

People the world too often forgets

who are worthy of being heard and seen.

But I can't do this alone.

So, to my incredible team…

Miss Kimmy…

Ella…

Thank you so much for your support.

Kyle, booboo, my booboo…

What would I do without you?

And…

I'd also like to thank

our co-sponsor

Lawrence as well.

Next year, I will be launching my hair care line.

- Wow! - Yes! Oh!

Oh I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Sorry.

Thank you. And that's thanks to you, Lawrence.

For reminding me why I created it in the first place.

I will be making sure that every shelter we visit

will be fully stocked with products for the people they house.

I mean, who says Christmas can't be all year round.

So, thanks to everyone. Thank you.

Ha ha!

You know I love Christmastime!

You do too.
