I love you, Sammy.

Ten...

Nine...

Eight...

Seven...

Six...

Five...

Four...

Three...

Two...

One!

Ready or not, here I come!

You're supposed to hide, silly.

Doesn't the name of the game
give it away?

Well, the name's also reindeer tag, so

you're it!

Ah!

Oh.

Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.

Oh, what is it?

Uh, I.. I lost a contact lens.

Oh, no.

Wait, you wear contacts?

Don't tell anyone.

Oh. Found it!

It's right...

Here.

Sophie Marlow...

Will you marry me?

Yes!

Yes!

She said yes!

I'm sorry, Sophie.

I have some bad news.

Your Great Uncle Henry passed away.

It was quite peaceful.

He went in his sleep.

I spent every Christmas
with Great-Uncle Henry.

Until I was 14.

And, Cut!

Jenny, that was exquisite.

I truly felt the emotion on that last take.

Um, do you mind referring to me
as Sophie?

Just while we're on set?

I want to stay in character
as much as possible.

No problem, Sophie.

All right, let's do another take
where we have more waterworks!

Back to ones people!

Okay.

Thanks.

Isn't this incredible, man?

Your script, my direction.

This is gonna be our biggest hit yet.

Yeah, well, I hope so.

After all the work that we put into this.

And Jenny is the perfect Sophie,
am I right?

Yeah, she's... she's great.

But, I mean,
there's only one perfect Sophie.

Don't do it, Sophie.

Don't look.

No, I am definitely not gonna look.

We haven't even picked a venue
or settled on a date.

No, you are not the kind of girl

who stops to look
every time you pass by.

Oh, who am I kidding?

Oh, good. She's still there.

Thank you.

Lock it up.

We're rolling!

It was quite peaceful.

He went in his sleep.

I spent every Christmas
with Great Uncle Henry.

Until I was 14.

And, cut!

Beautiful.

- That's lunch, everyone.
- That was great.

Hey, Sophie!

- How are you?
- Hi.

- Great.
- Oh.

- Here you go.
- Oh!

Hi.

Is this for me?

For the baby.

Ah. Is it a jolly jumper?

Oh, you'll have to wait
until the baby shower.

The due date's coming up pretty fast.

Yeah, three weeks.

Just enough time to wrap
this bad boy and get home.

Timed it all perfectly.

Mm, I think your wife is the
one that gets credit for the timing.

How is Becky, by the way?

Oh, she's a superstar.

Third trimester, ready to rock.

We can't settle on a name though.

Hey, what do you think
of Quintessential?

For the... the baby's name?

Yeah, I wanted something powerful.

You know, we call her Quinn for short.

Yeah or Tessie.

Or Tessie.

Yeah.

Well, with a name like that,
it certainly makes a statement.

That's what I said and

Uh, speaking of Becky.

This is her. Gotta take this.

Okay.

Hey, sweetheart.

How's it all going?

I mean, like, every day.

Living the dream.

So, what do you think of the set?

I mean, it's surreal.

It's like I'm back at my old job.

Art imitating life.

Well, not exactly.

The character Sophie and Sam
are getting married

before the real ones.

Busted.

I'm sorry.

No, no, I'm just teasing you.

This time, life will imitate art.

It's totally fine.

It's not fine.

Just with the rewrites and everything,

I've been pretty consumed with this film.

Well, it'll all be worth it.

Remember that Great Uncle Henry said

one day you are going to write
something perfect

with that typewriter he gave you.

There he is.

Okay.

Mr. Stackhouse.

Luke, I told you, you gotta call me Sam.

Sorry, Mr. Stackhouse.

By the way, that's a great choice

for Ugly Christmas Sweater Day, I love it.

That was today?

I totally forgot.

Mr. Roberts was wondering
if you have a moment

to speak with him.

I always have time to speak with Evan.

Yeah, absolutely.

Thank you.

Sam, is your number one goal
to make my life miserable?

Uh, it's not my number one goal,

but it's probably in the top ten.

Can you explain to me again
why you insisted on naming

one of the characters
in your script Richard Gere,

a dog character, no less.

Well, because I named him after
my real life dog, who's um

his name is Richard Gere, so.

Why?

Is he an American dogolo?

We had Connor Woods signed on
to play Sam,

a real up and coming star.

But Connor only agreed to play the part

because he thought he'd be working

with the human Richard Gere.

When he found out that his
co-star would instead be a dog,

he dropped out.

You put Chris in a real pickle here.

I just spent the last 24 hours
trying to find a replacement,

which I did. You're welcome.

Who's this?

Oh, this. This is the real life Sophie.

This is who I based the character on.

Hi.

Well, I'm happy to see
that you're not a dog.

Oh, stop. I'm blushing.

Your new male lead arrives today.

I don't want to hear
about any more problems.

Keep up the good work.

That was...

Well, that was the producer, aka
the guy who cuts all the checks.

And he's not here?

No. No, no, he just-
he just works remotely.

Some people are strange.

Present company included.

Let's get some food.

Hey, you two.

Hey, Erin.

How's today going?

Busy as every day.

You know, when they hired me

to do all the coffee and snacks
for this movie,

I did not realize how much work
it was going to be.

It takes a lot of caffeine
to keep a film crew going.

Mm.

I'm having a lot of fun, though.

Well, don't worry, I'm holding
down the fort at the office.

You are the best partner
I could ever ask for.

Hey, Sam, you got a sec?

Yeah, sure.

Be right back.

So how are the temporary digs
at the hotel?

Oh, really nice, but it is
kind of odd to be staying

at a hotel in the same town I live in.

Yeah, that's what film productions do

when they use your home
as a filming location.

As long as they're footing the bill.

Mmhmm.

And if they're picking
up the room service tab,

I'm coming over.

Hey, are they going to shoot the
big finale wedding scene this week?

Mm, Sam doesn't think so.

Speaking of weddings,

any progress on your nuptial front?

Not yet.

Between how busy
Sam has been with the movie

and me getting on my feet
at Barista Barristers

there just hasn't been a lot of time

to figure out what we want to do.

Can't believe it's been almost a year.

There's gonna be plenty of time
to plan the perfect wedding.

I know.

It's just that...

I feel like Sam and I are

a little disconnected at the moment.

Maybe you should get away
together, just the two of you.

Mm.

How's the lead actress?

She's sweet.

But very serious about her craft.

She hasn't stopped staring at me
since I got here.

Mmhmm, yeah.

She's a method actress.

A method actress?

Yeah, it's like this style of acting

where the person convinces themselves

that they're actually the character

that they're playing.

Huh? Why don't they just act?

Film people are strange.

Hi.

Hi!

You must be Sophie.

I am.

So am I.

Oh, well, I'm playing you, anyway.

It's nice to meet you.

It's nice to meet you.

Can you just say that one more time?

It's nice to meet you?

It's nice to meet you?

Sorry. I'm studying you
so I can portray you accurately.

Oh.

I... I just want to say,

I think this story is so inspiring.

When I read the script,

I told my agent I just had to play you.

I recently went through
a really bad breakup.

And someone like you
gives me hope that

real love can still exist.

I'm honored.

Do you think we could
hang out sometime?

Any insight to who
Sophie Marlowe is deep down

would be really helpful
to my performance.

Oh, yes, sure.

Yeah, sure.

What is he doing here?

Oh.

Oh.

What are you doing here?

Me?

What are you doing here?

I thought we agreed
not to see each other anymore.

Yeah, we did.

Still do.

Then why am I seeing you?

I could ask you the same thing.

I think there's been
a little misunderstanding here.

Uh, Jenny, Tom is playing Sam,

and Tom, Jenny's playing Sophie.

I thought Connor Wood
was playing Sam.

Yeah, he was, but he dropped out

because somebody insisted
on putting his dog in the movie.

Tom filled in for Connor
for us last minute.

You expect her and I to

play two people falling in love?

Yeah. I am not making
that mistake again.

Neither am I.

How do you two know each other?

- She's my ex-girlfriend.
- He's my ex-boyfriend.

Ugh.

I'm guessing it wasn't
an amicable breakup.

Not exactly.

Hm.

Uh, well, uh...

That's a wrap for today, folks.

So, uh, have a great weekend!

Hey!

Any updates on the movie drama?

Oh, um...

Sam and Chris are going to talk
to Jenny and Tom

and see if they'll put their
differences aside

until the end of the movie.

Oh, I hope so.

Everyone in Waynesbridge
is so excited about a movie

being shot here, especially at Christmas.

It'd be such a shame if it all fell apart.

Yeah.

Hey, you okay?

Yeah.

I was just thinking about
what you said yesterday.

About Sam and me getting away
after the movie ends.

Christmas holiday, just the two of us.

It's a perfect idea.

Yeah?

I'm meeting Sam for lunch.
Maybe I'll run the idea by him.

Or...

Or?

Or you don't tell him.

You make it a surprise.

Really?

Absolutely.

Surprising your fiancé with
a dream holiday at Christmas,

to plan your wedding, no less.

Mm, I don't know.

Plus, if you and Sam
need time to reconnect,

that is the perfect way to do it.

I'll help you book it.

You know, my sister is a travel agent.

She can get you a good deal.

You can go to Aruba.

Jamaica.

Bermuda.

Bahamas.

Okay, are those suggestions

or are you just quoting that
Beach Boys song.

Martinique.

That Montserrat mystique.

Oh, that song's gonna be
stuck in my head all day.

You're welcome.

But what about your family, though?

Don't they want to see you at Christmas?

Yeah.

But they'll understand.

I'll call them tonight and explain.

Evan and the studio are insistent

that Jenny and Tom
are the leads of the movie,

but I don't even know if
they can work together.

Was it that bad of a breakup?

Apparently.

I mean, I don't think they hate
each other, per se, but

given the history, I think
it's going to be tough for them

to act like they're in love in the movie.

Yeah, well, I guess for
a romantic comedy to succeed,

you need the romantic part
to be believable.

Oh, this one's to your grandmother.

Maybe I shouldn't sign it.

She doesn't like me very much.

She keeps giving me a hard time

because we haven't tied the knot yet.

Well, someone should.

I'm kidding!

Plus, she keeps calling me Stan.

Between this and all my rewrites,

I'm gonna get carpal tunnel.

We have to get these in the mail today

so everyone can
get them before Christmas.

That's true.

And this is good practice
for our wedding invitations.

That reminds me.

For our wedding?

No, for the wedding scene in the movie.

Oh.

Chris should be taking care
of all this stuff,

but he keeps delegating it to me.

I like this.

I... I would do a gold foil print

and maybe the lettering
in Sacramento Green.

Green and gold.

That's interesting.

Yeah, it's a Christmas wedding.

I'd also change the font.

Beloved is really elegant

and I would use a thicker card stock.

That was pretty good.

Yeah, I guess I've given that
more thought than I realize.

I'm sorry.

For what?

I've just spent so much time

working on the fake wedding
in the movie,

that I haven't given one single
moment to our actual wedding.

We'll have time to plan the wedding

once the movie's done.

Yes.

Yes, we definitely will.

I should probably get going.

I'll start working on all those rewrites

for the scene on Monday.

- Bye.
- Bye.

She's got no idea.

None.

Sophie really thinks that
I haven't devoted any time

to planning our wedding.

Little does she know

that the plan is already in motion.

And I know that you are fully
aware of my genius.

But I bet you don't know
the depths of my brilliance.

In fact, I know you don't.

Because I didn't even know
until I came up with this plan.

Here's what's gonna happen.

The last day of the movie
that we're going to shoot

is going to be the wedding scene, right?

I'm gonna make sure

that the real Sophie is there that day.

Then she and the real Sam,

this guy,

are going to get married
for real on the same set.

And I've already made arrangements

for Sophie's friends and family
to be there to surprise her.

It's going to be so beautiful.

I know what you're thinking.

You're thinking, if it's going
to be a total surprise,

how will Sophie be able to choose

everything that she wants
to make it her perfect day?

But I got you covered.

My question for you, Richard Gere, is

will you be my ring bearer?

I just... I gotta make sure
that Jenny and Tom get along,

and the whole movie
just doesn't fall apart.

And I know, I know it won't,

because Chris is a great director

and he knows how to talk to actors, so.

Hey, Chris!

What's up?

Hey, can you meet me in town?

Got to show you something.
I'll text you the address.

Okay. I'll see you there.

The best part about it

is that the wedding is going to take place

on Henry's farm.

The place where it all started
for Sophie and me.

It's the perfect location.

Hey.

Hey, isn't this the perfect location?

For what?

The wedding scene.

I thought we were shooting
the wedding scene at the farm.

But, this is way better
than that dusty old farm.

Well, that's where Sophie and I met, so

it's got sentimental value.

But this place has production value,

and that is way more important.

Well, the farm isn't just a good
place for the movie wedding,

it's also a great location for

the other thing that I'm planning.

What other thing?

My wedding.

Right.

Are you still doing that?

Of course I'm still doing that.

I've been thinking,

not everybody likes to be surprised.

This one time I threw
a surprise party for Becky.

She didn't speak to me
for two weeks after.

Look, if we shoot here
instead of the farm,

that totally frees it up for you.

What's the problem?

The problem is that that's 10 days away.

And if we change locations,
that doesn't give me enough time

to start from scratch
and get everything that I need.

Look, man, it's not just me, okay?

It's Evan.

If I don't do what's best for the movie.

Both of our careers are in jeopardy.

I thought you just wanted me here

to talk about Jenny and Tom.

I'm not worried about Jenny and Tom.

They're actors.

They can act like they like each other.

Hey, here's my latest draft of the script.

Sorry?

Your draft?

Yeah. Did some rewrites.

Chris, you're the director.

You direct.

I am the writer, so I write.

Yeah, I know,

I just needed to put
my director's vision into it

and make some judicious cuts.

Wait a minute.

Where's the whole Fitzy character?

And where's Erin?

We don't need Erin.

This is the scene with Richard Gere.

There's no Richard Gere.

You cut Richard Gere.

I didn't want to annoy
the real Richard Gere.

We might want to work with him
in the future.

Look, don't worry about
the wedding location, all right?

Look.

Sophie will understand.

Now, I have big plans for this scene.

Alright. We're gonna get
rid of this frame.

We are gonna have the trellis up here

150 extras.

Hi. I'm looking for a wedding planner.

I was just wondering
if you might be available.

When am I getting married?

Ten days from now.

Hello?

Hello?

Hi. I am looking for a wedding planner.

Oh, great.

Well, um...

I'm getting married
in 10 days, is that possible?

No.

Okay.

I can hear you laughing.
I'm... I'm actually serious.

Nothing's available.

Okay.

Well, thank you very much.

Have a good Christmas.

Please tell me you're calling to say

you and Sam have finally chosen a date.

You know how mom is.

You're the firstborn,

she relies on you to provide
her with the good news.

Because otherwise it falls on me.

It's like when we get our report cards.

Your A+ would make her
forget all about my C-.

And don't even get me started
on Grandma.

She thinks this whole thing

is a personal vendetta against her.

Grandma hasn't been in a good
mood since Pat Sajak retired.

Oh. Here's Mom.

I'll let her in.

Soph

what date are we saving?

Oh, we don't have one yet.

It's what I'm calling about.

Sophia.

Is Stan waiting until I die
before he marries you?

Is that his plan?

Because I am not giving him
the satisfaction.

I refuse to die before he marries you.

It's Sam, Grandma.

His name is Sam.

And that's why I wanted
to talk to everyone.

Sam and I, we need some time
alone to plan the wedding.

So how would you all feel if
I don't come home for Christmas?

I know we always spend
the holidays together, but...

Sam and I need some time to focus

and I think this is the only way.

That's... that's actually fine, honey.

It is?

Yeah. I mean,
we were planning on having

a very low-key Christmas anyway.

Oh, because, I mean, we've never
had a low-key Christmas before.

You know. That's good for a change.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I, uh, I have so much work
to catch up on,

so that works for me.

Okay.

Well, thanks for understanding.

So, no wedding plans,

Christmas is cancelled.

At least Judge Judy
will never let me down.

Grandma, I'm canceling your cable.

Action!

I love you, Sammy.

Your breath smells like mint.

Ah! Okay.

Cut!

Why does your breath smell like mint?

Is this opposite day?

Was I supposed to gargle
with garlic wash?

Uh, no, if it was opposite day,

I would tell you how lovely
it is to work with you.

What kind of mint did you have?

Green.

Spearmint or peppermint?

I'm allergic to spearmint, remember?

My lips get swollen.

People pay good money for that.

I can assure you that you're not allergic

to any of the mints that we have on set.

Thank you.

Alrighty. Let's do another
take then, shall we?

Back to ones, everyone!

Let's just try to act like professionals.

Why would you have a mint
when you know that I'm allergic?

Okay, enough about the mints, okay?

Let's be in love.

So your family was fine

with you not going home
for Christmas this year?

They were almost too okay with it.

I kind of wanted them
to be a little disappointed.

I'm sure they are.

But they also understand.

Mm, I guess.

It just seemed like no big deal.

As if it were some random visit
during the year, I had to cancel

but it's Christmas.

Do you think people have less
Christmas spirit these days?

Well, I think everyone has
less Christmas spirit than you.

If Santa were president,

you'd be his press secretary nominee.

Hmm.

Or present secretary.

Ooh.

There she is.

There's the Sophie we love.

Just don't worry so much.

Everything's gonna be fine.

I know.

You are gonna have
a beautiful Christmas.

I love you, Sammy.

- Ow.
- Ouch.

Cut!

So much for the actors being able to act.

Evan is calling. He wants an update.

What should we do?

Don't answer.

I tried that once.

Kept calling back so many
times, the tablet melted.

Okay, well, we can do
the whole bad reception trick.

So when I give you the look, just freeze.

Have you ever done this before?

Yeah, I do it all the time.
Mostly when you're asking me

when I'm going to finish the script.

Wow.

Gentlemen.
Everything running smoothly?

Yeah, everything's going great.

We're getting some really
fantastic stuff here, Evan.

I mean, the actors are
doing exceptional work.

Quickly...

You're cutting out.

Oh, well, the reception here...

Okay, now you're frozen.

Sam.

Okay. Okay, so that bought us
a little bit of time.

Not much.

How are we gonna fix this?

That was impressive.

How's that for Christmas spirit?

Not too shabby.

Hi.

Oh, I'll be right there.

Hi. Thanks for coming.

Yeah. What's going on?

Jenny and Tom.

Oh. Not getting along?

Do you want me to talk to Jenny?

That's a great idea.

Maybe I should try talking to Tom.

Yes, yes.

Go. Brilliant.

Go do.

May I come in?

- Yup.
- Mmhmm.

We were really quite happy
when we were first together.

There was even a time where
I thought Jenny was the one.

Do you believe a person
can find the one?

Of course you do.
What am I talking about?

You found yours.

We're making a movie about it.

I guess you're right.

Well, you're lucky.

You're lucky.

What happened between you and Tom?

It's pretty complicated, actually.

Complicated for me.

Less for her.

I felt as though Tom
didn't fight hard enough

for our relationship.

I just don't think love
should be that much of a fight.

He just seems so lackadaisical
about everything.

She just puts so much pressure
on everything.

And in the end, things just

fell apart.

What were some of your...

Best moments together?

I loved her laugh.

We used to have a lot of fun
in the early days.

Did you see what I saw?

Oh, yeah. They're still in love.

I have an idea.

I don't know, I guess
we'll pick it up tomorrow.

I'll call you back.

If you want to spark the chemistry

between Jenny and Tom,

I think there are a few scenes
you need to shoot

before the kiss.

All right.

Let's pretend to fall in love, shall we?

You sure are making that difficult.

Be a professional.

Action!

Five, four,

three, two.

One!

Ready or not, here I come.

One. Ready or not, here I come.

Yes!

Oh, oh.

That is definitely not meant
for two people.

Careful.

Oh, you're standing on my foot.

Your foot is in my shin.

Careful.

Hey, Sammy.

Hey, Soph.

And, cut!

Looks like they rediscovered
their chemistry.

Right?

I mean, that was phenomenal.

The chemistry between
those two tonight was electric.

It was... it was up there
with It's a Wonderful Life,

Love Actually, Die Hard.

I saw that look. Die Hard
is a Christmas movie.

Okay, but romantic?

Between Hans Gruber
and the money he wants to steal.

That's true love.

Sophie, I have to thank you.

You saved our film.

Oh, no.

It was a joint effort
between Sammy and me.

I am just so, so, so happy!

I mean, what could possibly be
better than making movies, huh?

Hi, honey.

Really?

Yeah. I'll... I'll be right there.

Becky... just went into labor.

But wait, she's not due
for another three weeks.

Not anymore.

I gotta get on the next flight home.

Uh.

Get out of the way!

I'm gonna be a dad!

Well, without a director,

there won't be a Home Sweet
Christmas Wedding.

I cannot believe that Chris
up and quit like that.

Well, his wife is having a baby.

Yeah, exactly. He's not having the baby.

The thing, is Chris
had a clause in his contract

that allows him to quit
if his wife goes into labor.

Now the studio's gonna pull the plug

unless we find a replacement
director immediately.

I don't see how that's possible
in such a tight time frame.

We'd have to shut down
over the holidays,

which would mess up
our post-production schedule,

which would push back the release date.

I don't suppose you're also an
accomplished director, are you?

No, I'm a lawyer.

How original.

Can you give us a day or two
to try to figure something out?

I'll give you till tomorrow morning.

Come on, let's go.

I've got it.

I found the clause.

Is this the part where you tell
me a corny legal joke

about a man in a red suit
flying around in a sleigh

delivering presents?

No.

But I will say this.

Nobody's climbing down a chimney

without signing a liability waiver.

When you said corny legal joke,

did you mean something
roughly like that?

I meant something exactly like that.

No, I found a clause
in the contract that stipulates:

"In the event the director needs
to be replaced,"

"an individual possessing
appropriate knowledge"

"of the story and creative elements"

"can assume the responsibilities
of the job."

Sure, but who is that?

You, silly.

Me?!

Yes. Who has more appropriate
knowledge of the story than you?

You not only wrote it, you lived it.

I'm not a director, I'm a writer.

I'm supposed to be alone
in a room with my words

not on set, telling a bunch
of people what to do.

Look, if you want your movie
to be finished,

this seems to be the only way.

Plus, you said yourself
that Chris was making

too many changes.

Now, you can make sure
it's the story you want to tell.

I don't know.

I'll help you.

Don't you want that
wedding scene to happen?

Fortune favors the brave.

The bold.

The bold. Them too.

Yeah.

Thanks again
for letting us use the office

for Sam's casting session.

Are you kidding? This is a blast.

Although it's kind of strange
seeing a bunch of people

auditioning to play me in a movie.

Yeah, now you know how I feel.

I just hope that Sam
can find some local actors

- to play the parts.
- Yeah.

Thank you for your patience, everyone.

We will be starting very shortly.

Samuel Stackhouse!

May I have a word?

Sure, Fitzy.

Come on in.

Looks like someone's
about to throw a Fitzy.

Okay.

Why would you try to cast anyone
other than Fitzy to play Fitzy?

Fitzy, I say this with deep respect.

This is a movie, right?

So we've got to cast
professional actors for these roles.

I am a professional.

I trained at the Rowlett
Shakespeare Company.

The Royal Shakespeare Company?!

No, the Rowlett Shakespeare Company

in Texas.

They've got a renowned theater program.

I've played the Dane, Mercurio, Lear,

all in front of dozens of people.

Oh. Well, that's impressive.

You'll never find a better
Fitzy than the real thing.

Thank you.

We'll be in touch.

- Thanks.
- Yeah.

Okay.

That's... all of them.

Oh.

Well, at least we found
someone to play Erin.

Is she as smart, interesting
and funny as the real thing.

Impossible.

I'm just going to go reset downstairs.

None of these dogs even
came close to nailing

the Richard Gere part.

I guess my four-legged pal
is gonna have to play

himself in the movie.

Hm.

Speaking of playing themselves,

did you like any of the Fitzy auditions?

None of them were really
right for the part.

Maybe we should give the real
Fitzy the chance to play himself

in the movie.

I mean, he did study at the
Rowlett Shakespeare Company.

Mm.

Oh, Jenny's asking if I can meet her.

So, they're fitting her for
the dress for the wedding scene

and I'd love to get your opinion on it.

You know, just to make sure
it's right for the character.

I could really use your
amazing decision-making skills.

Oh, my amazing decision-making skills.

You sure know how to flatter a girl.

Mm.

Oh no.

Hi.

Hey, thanks for coming.

How's Sam doing?

Oh, he's good.

A little nervous, but... but good.

Well, Tom and I are so excited
for him to take over the movie.

We told the studio we didn't want

anyone else to replace Chris.

Well, they listened.

What's up?

Well, I was hoping to get your opinion.

This is the dress they want me
to wear for the wedding scene.

What do you think?

It's gorgeous.

But?

But

well, it isn't the one I would
have chosen for my wedding.

Well, which one would you have picked?

Oh, well, it doesn't matter.
You're playing the part.

Yeah, but I'm playing you.

Okay.

I'm impressed you found
a dress you like so quickly.

That is stunning.

Full disclosure, I have had
my eye on this dress for months.

Hm. So why don't you just buy it?

Oh, I don't know, I guess I...

I just want all of
my wedding plans in place first.

I haven't even tried it on before.

Go for it.

What? Oh, no I... I can't.

You should try it on.
You're playing Sophie.

Yeah, but you are Sophie.

No, I...

Aren't you a method actress?

Yeah, but there are limits.

It's your dream dress. Try it on.

Oh, I... I... I really can't.

You should try it on.

Sure you can. I really think you should.

No, you should try it.

I'm so sorry, but this dress
has already been sold.

It's been sold?

Gingerbread roll right out of the oven.

Okay. Can I tell you something
you don't want to hear?

There are other dresses.

I promise you, by your wedding day,

the dress you're meant to wear
will have found you.

Plus, in the meantime,

we can find the bride
who stole your dress

and tell her that it
totally washes her out.

And then if she's going for

that Morticia Addams bride look,
she's nailing it.

Don't even say that.

I'm sure whoever she is,
she'll look lovely in it.

Oh, you are way too nice.

It's not just about the dress.

It's another reminder
of how little planning

Sam and I have put into
our own wedding.

Well, if it makes you feel any better,

my sister has your trip almost all booked.

Thank you.

Sam and I need that trip
now more than ever.

In the meantime,

we can eat your feelings

and I'll help you.

Cheers.

Oof, okay.

Thank you.

- Hi.
- Hi!

Uh, so, what do you think?

Wow. It is perfect.

Yeah.

Oh. Even down to every detail.

These movie set decorators
really know what they're doing.

Mm.

Maybe we should hire them
for our wedding.

There's an idea.

Good morning, Mr. Director.

I'm not sure I'll ever
get used to that title.

Ah, you're gonna do great.

And we have your back.

And I'm so glad you're putting

the supporting characters
back into the script.

They're really integral to the story.

Who did you end up casting
for the Fitzy character?

Friends, Romans, countrymen,
lend your ears.

Him.

And

action!

Does that mean I'm supposed to start?

Yes, Fitzy.

When I call action, that's...
that's when you act.

Gotcha.

The first person to ever say
lights, camera, action

was D.W. Griffith.

Trivia.

I was waiting for you
to say the first part.

Yeah, we only... we only say
the action part these days, so.

Copy that.

Everything okay?

Yep.

Yeah. I'm just, um...

Just feeling a little overwhelmed.

Okay.

Okay, let's go back to ones, everybody.

Take it from the top.

Let's get the sticks in there.

Thank you.

And

action!

Cut!

You can't look into the camera, Fitzy.

Right.

That's what's called
breaking the fourth wall.

Trivia.

Okay.

Um...

I say we just take five, everyone.

I'm just gonna get some fresh air.

Okay.

Thought I might find you up there.

What's this?

One of Great Uncle Henry's
maple candy canes.

You still have some of these?!

Oh, I have an emergency stash
hidden away for hard days.

Mm.

How are you holding up?

I don't think I really am.

I mean...

I'm so grateful for everything
that you've done for me.

But let's be honest,

I have no idea what I'm doing.

That's not true.

You are so talented.

And yes, you're a brilliant writer,

but it took a lot of hard work
to get to that point.

And directing isn't your forte, yet,

but it will be, if you can be patient

and sacrifice your time

and maybe a few gray hairs
on your head.

Ultimately, it will be.

Listen to me.

Sacrifice.

Getting to direct a movie
about the greatest love story

that happens to be my own.

I mean, if we're talking about sacrifice,

you're the one who's done that for me.

Well, I'd marry you today if I could,

but for the sake of your movie,

I want to see your wonderful
story come to life.

Again.

It's already come to life once.

Mm, right. Again.

You are the most creative person I know.

So you go back in there

and you be creative, Sam Stackhouse.

I got this.

You got this.

Fitzy!

Fitzy.

Do you remember the first time
that you came to the farmhouse,

and you showed Sophie and me

everything that was wrong with it?

I want you to become that
DIY contractor again.

I want you to forget about
everybody else in the room.

Except for those two right over there.

Take them through the house

and you show them everything
that's wrong with it,

and every little tidbit
of trivia associated with it.

You got it?

Put it on the list.

Put it on the list.

Back to ones, everybody.

Thank you, thank you.

Here we go.

And

action.

So, you like to fix up
the old farmhouse, would ya?

Are polar bears left-handed?

Polar bears are left-handed.

Do you like trivia?

I love trivia.

Keeps me sharp.

Shouldn't take more than a few
days to get this place fixed up.

Just in time for Christmas.

I'm a DIY contractor.

DIY stands for 'Do It Yourself'.

Trivia.

The way I work is that
I'm your contractor.

I tell you what to do
and you do all the work.

Oh! Door knob.

Put it on the list.

Doorknobs were invented in 1878,

and all that's because
of the Industrial Revolution.

Trivia.

Oh.

Look at that.

Could come down at any time.

Just like The Phantom of
the Opera by Gaston Leroux.

Trivia.

Chandelier canopy needs to be
tightened a little bit.

Put it on the list.

New electrical wiring for the cooker.

Put it on the list.

Electricity. Nikola Tesla,
1887, not Thomas Edison.

Trivia!

Cut!

Fitzy! Fitzy!

That was amazing!

You... you nailed it!

Thankfully, I had an excellent director.

Aw.

Put it on the list.

I'll be in me trailer.

You don't have a tra...

He doesn't have a trailer.

Right.

Well, I'm not the kind of gal
that says I told you so.

You're totally the kind of gal
who says I told you so.

Only when it's warranted.

And in that case, I told you so.

Aw.

You had nothing to worry about.

You are a natural
when it comes to directing.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves.

It's only been one day.

A very good day.

A very good day.

Thank you.

Thank you for encouraging me to do this.

I told you so.

And thank you for helping Jenny
pick out her wedding dress.

Yeah, no problem.

Oh, there was this dress
we both wanted, but, um...

Yeah, it wasn't available.

But she eventually found
something she liked.

I just can't tell you how amazing it is

that you're helping with all
the wedding stuff.

This is... This is the most
important scene

in the whole movie, and I just...

I just want to make sure
everything's perfect.

Yeah, anytime.

How about right now?

Sure.

One more thing.

Okay.

You are going to sell this

once you move
into the farmhouse, right?

Sell my Airstream?

Yeah.

Well, you're not going
to need it anymore.

Of course I'm going to need it.

This... this is my man cave.

You can have my heart, Sophie Marlowe,

but you will never take my Airstream.

What is it that you needed?

Okay,

so,

for the wedding scene,

I want the actors to...
to say their vows, obviously.

And I have a pretty good idea
of what Sam would say.

Well, I hope so.

But I'm having a tough time figuring out

what Sophie would say.

Can I have your help?

No. No, I'm not a writer.

No, no, just... just jot down
a couple ideas, that's all.

That's all.

Yeah. Um...

Please.

You film people are weird.

I know.

Thank you.

Okay, I gotta call I gotta make,
but I will be right back.

You just pour your heart out into that.

I left what I wrote on your desk.

I'm sure it's perfect.

Thank you so much for doing that.

Mmhmm.

So, I should get going.

I've got some approvals
for the wedding set location.

Oh, well, I can join you.

I'll just grab my purse from the house

and we can head out.

You know, I should probably go
by myself, really.

Because these, um, these
locations can be really kind of strict.

It's really only movie crew allowed.

Oh. Okay.

Yeah. I'll just head back to the hotel.

I have some paperwork
I can catch up on.

Okay.

And I'm sorry that there's
been so much going on.

I'm really looking forward
to just a nice, quiet Christmas

after this is all done, aren't you?

Yeah.

Mmhmm.

Okay.

Bye -Bye.

Okay.

Hi Sam.

Hey. Yeah, I made an excuse
so Sophie wouldn't come.

I think she went back to the hotel.

It's... it's just...

It's so important that
this goes perfectly okay.

No mistakes.

I can't have any distractions at all.

I just hope there's
no more surprises... really.

Because this has got to go off
without a hitch.

It's the most important thing
I've done in my entire life.

So, it's got to be flawless.

And Sophie has to be as far
away from this as possible.

This wedding is more important
than anything.

It's even more important than the movie.

But you're sure that Sophie's
going to be happy, right?

It's the most romantic thing ever.

Okay.

Well, thank you for your help on this.

- Of course, you too.
- Here we go.

Hey.

Hey.

Can your sister cancel the trip?

Why?

This movie's a big opportunity for Sam,

and I think I need to give him his space.

I don't want to be a distraction.

But Sam would never feel as
though you were a distraction.

And you said yourself that you
needed a break after the movie.

Yeah, well, maybe surprising him
with a trip like this

isn't what he has in mind.

But, Sophie.

Please, Erin.

Can you just have
your sister cancel the trip?

Yeah.

I'll take care of it.

Thanks.

Hi. So, change of plans.

I'm coming home for Christmas after all.

Oh, so you're not going away anymore?

No, no, it's a long story.

Sam's really busy,
but he'll join when he can.

And I figured I'd get in
the car and drive home tomorrow.

Oh.

What? What is it?

Well, I am going away tomorrow.

You are?

Where?

Bruges.

Bruges?

It's in Belgium.

Yeah, yeah, I know where it is.

Why are you going to Bruges?

I've always wanted to go.

And when you said

that you weren't coming
home for Christmas,

I figured, well, now it's my chance.

Um, it's... on my bucket list.

Oh.

Okay. You've literally
never mentioned that before.

Is Grandma going?

Nope. It's the silver serenity for me.

Is that a brand of herbal tea?

Oh, no. It's a senior spa.

Hot stone massages
and full body mud baths.

I'm going to look as good
as Jane Seymour by New Year's.

Okay, well, Allie, looks like
it's just you and me.

Oh.

No, no, sorry.

Soph, Keith and I are going

on a rock legends Christmas cruise.

Nickelback and Sammy Hagar
are playing.

We're big fans.

We're so sorry, honey.

Oh, well, none of us knew that
your plans were going to change.

It's fine.

I understand.

Okay, well, I have to go.

I'll talk to you guys later.

- Bye.
- Well, we love you.

Thanks for meeting me.

With the movie wrapping
so close to Christmas,

I won't have time to shop
when I get home.

My family always goes
all out for the holidays.

Oh, that's nice.

Mine too.

Usually.

What are your Christmas plans?

Uh...

I don't have any, actually.

Well, I'm sure something will come up.

Things always do during the holidays.

So how have the last few days
of filming been going?

Oh, good.

So good.

Sam is a truly gifted director.

Thanks to you and Sam,

Tom and I have rediscovered
that connection we had

when we first met.

I'm so happy for you.

Thanks.

In fact, tonight I'm gonna tell Tom

that I think we should get back together.

That's great.

These last few days
have made me realize that

Tom really is the one.

Aww.

Hi. We're meeting at 7:00, right?

Yeah, but can you come to
the studio right now, by any chance?

'Cause...

I want to show you something.

Oh, sure. I'll be right there.

Bye.

I have to go.

Okay.

Hi.

Hi.

Thanks for coming.

So I had an idea,

and I just wanted to run it
by you to get your opinion.

- Okay.
- Okay.

Do you remember?

Of course.

It's our engagement photo.

Yeah.

Well, it inspired me to do this

for the wedding scene in the movie.

Check it out.

I want to use it
when the characters get married.

What do you think?

It's gorgeous.

It's very romantic.

Do you really think so?

Because if you didn't like it,
I wasn't going to use it.

It's perfect for a wedding.

Yeah?

Mmhmm.

I think so, too.

Okay, well, I'll tell the team
to go ahead with it, then.

Mmhmm.

And I just got a couple things I
got to do before dinner tonight.

But I promise that when I get
there, no more movie talk.

I will only be discussing the real wedding

for the rest of the evening, I promise.

I'll see you there, okay?

- Okay.
- Okay.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Okay, well

let's talk about the wedding.

Our wedding.

I don't know.

Maybe we shouldn't.

Shouldn't what? Get married?

Because in that case,

I'm gonna have to ask for that ring back.

If you want this ring back,

you're gonna have to pry it off my finger.

Do not tempt me.

That is a spoon.

Well played.

Hey.

What is it?

Sam, I love you, and
I'm so excited to marry you.

I know we're gonna have
a beautiful wedding, but

just with everything going on
with the movie, I think that

you should focus on that right now.

Sophie, the movie's
almost finished shooting.

I know, but now that you're the director,

you're going to have
a lot more responsibilities

to get the movie finished.

And it's only fair to give you
the space to do that.

We've waited this long
to plan the wedding.

We can wait a little bit longer.

You know that this movie
isn't as important to me

as you are, right?

I do, but it is important.

It's your dream job.

Sure, but I would never let my dream job

get in the way of me being
with the girl of my dreams.

Oh, you know what? I'm sorry.

- Tom...
- I've gotta go.

Oh no.

I told him I was still in love with him

and that I thought we were
meant to be together.

And he just looked at me blankly

and said he didn't feel the same way.

You know, it was just like
our relationship.

One minute he'd be so lovey-dovey

and the next he would just
turn off like a light switch

and leave me in the dark.

I just can't believe I fell for this again.

I'm such a fool.

Excuse me.

It's Evan.

Maybe it's good news this time?

No chance.

Sam, I just got
a call from Tom's agent.

Tom says he's not sure
he can finish the movie,

so I say, what's going on there?

You know, for a new director,

you're not making
a very good first impression.

Fix this. Now.

Guess what scene
we're shooting tomorrow?

The kiss?

Yeah.

You know, the
thing I've come to realize

is that Jenny and I, definitely
not meant for each other.

Nope. Fire and ice.

Oil and water.

Chalk and cheese.

You know, I never really
understood that one.

Chalk and cheese?

Definitely not the opposites.
You know what I mean?

What?

Don't look at me like that.

It's like you're looking into my soul.

Okay, yeah, fine, Rich.

You want the truth?

I love her.

I love her so much, it scares me.

And that is the reason why
we broke up in the first place.

I pushed her away

because I was too afraid to lose her.

Make that make sense.

Please.

Oh, then last night at the restaurant,

she had the courage
to open her heart out to me,

and I did nothing.

And what I should have done was

I should have just
taken her into my arms,

and kissed her.

I should have went up to her,
and I should have said,

I love you so much,
and I feel the exact same way,

But, I couldn't.

- Hi. Sorry to bother you.
- No.

I was wondering if
Richard Gere was with you.

Sam asked me to come by.

Richard's due for his union
mandated walk.

Dog Actors Guild is pretty
strict about those things, huh?

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

Right.

Here we go.

Oh, he's excited to see you.

Yeah.

So, how are you doing?

Oh, great.

Hi.

Good.

Yeah. Sam's been trying
to get ahold of you.

Yeah, I just... I needed a break
for just a second.

It's pretty awkward in there,

Jenny having feelings for me
and me not feeling the same way.

Is that really how you feel?

Why?

Because I just overheard
everything you said.

Oh.

You know, about you
still being in love with her,

but purposely sabotaging things.

Yeah, I remember.

Sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop,

but your window was open.

Okay, look, um...

I am not trying
to screw things up for Sam

or jeopardize this movie
in any way, I just...

I panicked.

I just...

I wish I knew I wasn't going
to get hurt again.

Oh.

Well...

I mean, you're not supposed
to know that.

That's what makes love
worth something.

The risk.

But I think you and Jenny
would be just fine.

I know, because I was in
your situation once.

I can't tell you what to do.

No one can.

But

all I'll say is

you know, it seems like

you've been given
a second chance with Jenny.

Second chances are rare.

And if you pass it up,
you may never see her again.

And, well, you'll have to decide
if you can live with that.

Huh.

Look, I wouldn't worry about the movie

or Sam or anything else.

Just do what you know is true and right.

Merry Christmas, Tom.

Merry Christmas, Sophie.

Merry Christmas, Richard.

I think we need to call Evan.

Call Evan?

Like on purpose?

Sam, why are you calling me?

I'm supposed to call you.

That's how this works.

Not today, Evan.
We got a major problem.

No, you don't.

The only problem you have is me and...

I'm going to resolve that right now.

Jenny.

Hey.

I want to start off by

apologizing to you.

No, there's no need.

I shouldn't have been so unprofessional.

You're an amazing actor, Tom.

And...

I just thought for one second that

maybe something had sparked
back up with us.

And I stupidly felt like

I should say something
before it was too late.

You're right.

I am an amazing actor.

But not for that reason.

It's because I made you believe that...

I was anything other than
madly in love with you.

I even put it on an Oscar
winning performance

as a complete jerk.

Last night at the restaurant,

I should have just told you the truth.

I feel the same way.

So if you give me another chance,

I promise you, I will never hesitate

or waste another moment.

Well, if you're not going
to waste another moment,

then why are you wasting this one?

Kiss me.

Wait, wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait, wait.

That was so beautiful.

Let's save it for the scene.

Okay.

Everybody, first positions!

All right.

Settling.

And

action!

I love you, Soph.

I love you, Sammy.

And, cut!

Woo!

Yes!

I'm crying.

You guys just take your time over there.

Enjoy it.

Great job, Sam.

That was so great.

Hi.

Happy last day of filming!

How's it all going?

Oh, it's going great.

Just perfect.

This is going to be the most beautiful

Christmas wedding ever.

Oh, well, I'm so glad to hear it.

You're still going to show up
right at 3:00, right?

Yeah, that's what I was planning.

Do you want me to come by earlier?

No, no, uh

if you get there any earlier,
it's just going to be...

It'll be too hectic.

So, we'll see you then.

Love you.

Love you.

Good morning.

Morning!

Ooh, those look fancy.

What's the occasion?

Oh, um...

I'm just... I figured last day and all,

do something special.

Why are you here so early?

Oh, I couldn't sleep.

I figured I'd get some work done.

I have some year-end things to wrap up,

but I could come to set
and help you if you need me.

No, no, I got this, I got this.

Um...

Uh, oh!

Sam said you'd be there at 3:00?

Mhm.

That's good.

Yeah, it'll be a mad scramble
there until then.

Oh, I forgot to ask Sam
the address of the location

they're shooting at today.

I have it in my car. I'll text you.

Okay, I better go.

I'll see you this afternoon.

This is
Barb. I will call you back.

Hey, Mom.

I'm not sure what time it is there, but

I just called to see how your trip was.

Merry Christmas.

Bye.

Hey, it's
Allie, wait for the beep.

Hey, Allie.

I hope you and Keith are having fun.

I don't know how the reception
is where you're at, but, um

anyway, Merry Christmas.

Bye.

You've reached
Doris. Leave a message.

Hi, Grandma.

I hope you're relaxing.

Um, yeah.

Call me, um, whenever you get this.

Okay, I love you.

Merry Christmas.

Hello, Sophie.

George Wayne.

What are you doing here?

I am on my way to an appointment.

I thought that I would just
stop in for a cup of coffee.

Well, you look very dapper.

Do you have a Christmas date, George?

Ah, in a manner of speaking.

I've been asked to be an extra
in Sam's movie today.

Oh.

Oh well, I'm really happy for you.

It should be a lot of fun.

I don't have to be there for a little bit.

I'd...

I'd love to catch up with you before I go.

May I join you for a cup?

Of course.

I can tell that there's
something on your mind, Sophie.

What is it?

Oh, well, I guess
I'm feeling a little lost.

You know, ever since
I moved back to Waynesbridge,

I've never felt more at home.

And yet, for some reason, this Christmas

everything feels so disconnected.

And I don't know what happened.

And I don't know what to do.

We always want to have answers.

The true joy in life is not having them.

Now we know why we give gifts
to each other

because of the gift that was given to us.

But there's a reason

that we wrap Christmas presents,
isn't there?

And I wouldn't worry about
your Christmas present, Sophie,

because I have the feeling
that it brings a gift of

a beautiful future.

Oh.

Thank you, George.

It's really nice to be around
someone who feels like family.

I'm honored.

I, uh...

I should be going.

Oh.

Well, I'm headed there, too.

Can I give you a lift?

What a lovely idea.

I didn't realize
they were shooting here.

Your Great
Uncle Henry's old farm.

Where is everyone?

Hm?

Are we too late?

God's timing is never too late.

Sam, hi.

I'm here, now.
Did we miss the big finale?

You didn't miss anything.

Can you do me a favor?

Go to the treehouse.

The treehouse?

Mhm.

Hello?

Oh, this better be good,
Sam Stackhouse.

When Uncle Henry said

one day you will write something
perfect with this typewriter,

I thought it was my script.

But now I know it's

my vows.

Ah, there you are!

We need to get you into hair
and makeup ASAP.

There she is.

There's our Sophie.

Did you know about this?

Of course, I did.

By the way, I didn't cancel your trip.

What?

You're still going.

It was always meant
to be your honeymoon.

May I have the honor?

Did you plan all of this by yourself?

I hope you don't mind.

Anyway, it wasn't totally by myself.

I definitely got a little bit of help.

Even from you.

How long have you been planning this?

All my life.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

We got some things to do
before that part.

Rings.

Good boy!

Good boy.

Sophie Marlowe

when we were kids,

and I was telling you stories
about princesses and dragons,

you used to say to me that
you love my crazy imagination,

even though most of the time

you'd fall asleep during my stories.

And in my life as a writer,
I've had to imagine some

some pretty unbelievable things.

But

never

in my wildest imagination

have believed that I would
get a second chance

to write a misconnection
and be lucky enough

to ask you

to marry me.

And now, I can't imagine
my life without you.

And it would make me

the happiest man in the entire world,

if I could kiss you good night
every Christmas Eve

and wake up next to you
every Christmas morning.

Hey!

What? I'm kidding.

My vows.

Oh.

I got you.

Sam Stackhouse

ever since we reconnected

after so many years,
I remember telling you

that I was waiting for the day.

God would bring me the right
person to love.

And little did I know that
He would lead me back

to where you once spun
your beautiful stories.

Our treehouse.

That little hideaway

was the beginning of our adventure.

And now here we are.

Right where we're meant to be.

I'm so grateful for every
game of hide and seek.

And every twist and turn we
both had that brought us here.

You've shown me what true love is.

And I promise to cherish you every day,

and every Christmas morning,

and every ordinary moment in between.

You are my greatest adventure.

My home and my heart.

Tag, you're it.

I love you, Sammy.

I love you, Sophie.
