Thanks for conferring me.

I love doing it. Makes you feel grand.

Oh, I can't believe you're finally here.

It's been too long.

I know, I know.

I'm so sorry, Aunt Frida.

It's harder to take time off than it used to be.

But I'm ready for our Christmas get -together.

Wonderful. I'm going to enjoy every minute of it. Me too.

That's yours, you know.

I know.

But it makes me happy to know it's here with you.

I have to admit, I didn't miss the freezing cold.

But I did miss you.

Terribly.

I missed you, too.

More than you know.

Ellie is a television personality with her own talk show.

I think I told you I auditioned to be her on -air fitness guru.

Oh, yes, that's right.

So will I see you on TV now? Or rather, Leonard's TV. I gave mine away.

Unfortunately, no, I didn't get the job. But she did like me enough that she

wants me to train her one -on -one.

Well, as long as you're happy, dear. You know, life is too short to spend time

on things that don't bring you joy. I remember him, Frida.

Little Treasures Eclectic hasn't changed a bit.

Well, why would it?

I sell one item, then I replace it.

With another.

Don't you ever want to retire, Frida?

Why don't you talk, Kimberly?

If I did that, I might as well be six feet under.

But you could travel. Travel where?

I'm happy here in Forestbrook. But there's a big world out there.

I know.

But Little Treasures is the only destination that I need.

Now, we'd better get you settled in my place out back, and then we'll get some

food going. Sounds good.

So, you meet anyone interesting in that busy city of

yours? Not really.

L .A. is not the best for dating.

Plenty of choices here in Forestbrook.

Plenty?

Name one.

Oh, you know.

And Frida?

Mm -hmm.

I asked you not to mention him.

Oh, all right.

I know. I'm sorry, Kim. I didn't mean to upset you. It's just...

You two seem so perfect together.

Well, clearly we weren't.

Can I help you with the dishes?

Oh, no, no. No, no.

You go and unpack. I'll clear up and then I'll go and get your surprise.

Surprise? What surprise?

Well, if I told you what it was, it wouldn't be a surprise now, would it?

For you.

Aunt Freda.

You don't have to get me gifts.

Visiting you is my gift.

I know.

And I am the best gift there is, of course, but I just couldn't resist it.

You can't resist anything.

Well, that's what makes life fun.

I love you. I love you, too. Now open my present.

So beautiful and personal.

It's a dancer.

Thank you, Frida.

You can always come back here, you know.

I've moved on.

It's too late.

One day it will be.

What do you mean?

Oh, nothing.

Don't mind me.

Just wish you could stay here with me.

Me too.

It's freezing here.

I wish I could convince you to move to L .A. with me instead.

I can't tell you what a horrifying thought that is for me.

Kim, the event is in three days and I still can't fit. What am I going to do?

Ellie, I told you, maybe consider buying a dress in your actual size.

Absolutely not. This is the size that I was meant to be.

Just a reminder, I'm going back to Forestbrook, so we won't have sessions

the next few weeks.

I cannot believe you're abandoning me.

I told you, my Aunt Frida and I always spend Christmas together.

We've done it every year since I was a little girl. I can't disappoint her.

Fine.

Maybe I'll just eat my way through the holidays then.

I'll be back in no time, Ellie.

I'm eating a grape an hour. One single grape.

Please, just follow the workouts.

Remember, slow and steady.

But I need fast and easy.

Fast and easy will never get you where you want to go.

This is why you hired me. Right.

Fine. Go.

Say hi to your Aunt Frufu for me.

It's Frida. Whatever. Just hurry back because I don't want to find myself at

some greasy drive -thru at midnight.

The breathing process during exercise, which flushes out carbon dioxide.

and brings in oxygen, is essential for cellular respiration and energy.

What does all that jargon mean?

Don't forget to breathe.

Hi, Aunt Frida.

Oh, uh, you aren't my Aunt Frida.

I'm not.

I'm Leonard Perez.

Oh, okay.

Your Aunt Frida's gone, honey.

What?

How I, uh... I just spoke to her yesterday.

I know how close the two of you were.

She was everything to me.

I'll be on the next one.

Mr. Perez, I really appreciate you meeting me here.

Thank you.

My great pleasure, my dear.

And please call me Leonard. I don't think Frida even knew I had a last name.

And again, I'm sorry for your loss.

Frida was one of a kind.

Yes, she was.

I'm very happy you're the one in charge of her estate.

It's an honor. Believe me.

Freda was my favorite client and my best friend.

So you know, she specifically demanded no funeral or services of any kind.

Right. She hated sad events.

Exactly.

I hope you don't mind, but I asked the realtor if he would meet up with us at

office tomorrow when we finished up, so we could get everything done at the same

time.

Ready?

Yes.

He already has a buyer, apparently.

I would ask.

Unless you want to take the place for yourself, of course, but you said

No.

My life is in Los Angeles now.

Is the buyer in much of a rush to get the sale wrapped up?

Well, I don't know the exact timing, but we'll find out soon enough.

Because the seller is.

I need to get back to L .A.

and...

The money from the sale means I can finally buy my own studio.

Frida would be so pleased to know she was making your dreams come true.

It's all she ever talked about.

She was the most generous person I ever knew.

Agreed.

I honestly don't know how she managed to make a living out of all this.

Well, don't overlook these things just because they're old.

They're little treasures.

You sound just like Aunt Frida.

Compliment indeed.

Well, I think that's the last of the bogus date stuff.

Thank goodness.

I had no idea there'd be so much to go through.

I mean, look at this.

No rhyme, no reason.

Well, I'll see you at my office for the rest tomorrow.

And if you want a good dinner, the Forestbrook Cafe should still be open.

Free to save, right?

Thank you, Leonard.

You've been a good...

Hi. I'm April. I'll be your server today.

You see anything you like?

I'll get the garden salad with the vinaigrette and water's fine.

Yeah, you got it.

Hey, April.

Yeah. Do you know what happened to Sandy?

She always waited on my aunt and me when we came.

Oh, she retired a few months ago. Moved to Florida, I believe.

Oh, thanks.

It's cute, huh?

A really sweet lady named Frida brought it in from her shop. Since we keep

getting mail for folks that don't actually live in town, now they have a

to receive it.

That's a great idea.

Yeah.

Very you, Aunt Frida.

Did you have a good night's sleep, my dear?

I didn't sleep much.

But it was comforting to go to the shop when I couldn't.

Thank you, Nancy.

Send him in.

Mr. Price, we spoke on the phone from Dudley Collins Real Estate.

My dad sends his apologies for not being here today.

But rest assured, I will be able to walk you all through every step of the

selling process.

What are you doing here?

Actually, he was personally requested to be the realtor by Frito.

I was going to talk to your father about that.

I was?

You were.

No.

No, no, no. No. You're the realtor?

I'm the realtor.

Hi, Kim.

Look, I know things didn't end the way we wanted, but I'm

truly sorry for your loss.

And Frida, she was the best.

I'm sorry, Leonard. This is not going to work. Kim, please. I have a hard offer

here to review with you. I'm not interested in any offer you might have.

Ah, perhaps you two would like a moment to chat?

Just our time.

I had no idea that you were still so upset, Kim.

Really?

We were engaged and ready to move to the city together, and you changed your

mind at the last minute and decided to stay here instead.

Without me.

You're still angry?

Of course I'm still angry.

It's been years, Kim.

Seriously?

It's not like you changed what you were going to eat for dinner, Scott.

I am truly sorry about that.

Too little, too late.

Please, Leonard.

Anyone else?

I wish I could accommodate you, Kim.

But... Freda made a specific request that Mr. Scott Collins be the realtor on

this and no one else.

Of course she did.

She also left one more specification.

That before you can transfer ownership of the property, you must take care

of unfinished business on her behalf.

What do you mean, what unfinished business?

If you don't take possession of the property yourself, we have to move on to

Clause 18 -2.

18 -2?

This is Frida's writing.

A riddle?

Frida loved games.

Gosh, you decided to play just one more.

Sorry. Just thought I could... No, no. As

long as you're here, you might as well make yourself useful.

Makes no sense to me.

Things are put inside me, but I'm not a box.

Now and then a bit heavy, but not with rocks.

I can sport a window, but I'm not a house.

I sometimes get shredded as a bed for a mouse.

What if I can't solve it, Leonard?

Is this going to affect the sale?

Possibly.

The clause stipulates that unless these instructions are followed, I can't

transfer ownership of the property to you.

I'm really failing to appreciate my aunt's wicked sense of humor at this

We can do it.

We? There's nothing in the clause that says you can't get out.

She couldn't just write a will like an average person.

There's never anything average about Aunt Frida.

You know, no one asked you to stay and help, Scott. I can figure this out on my

own and have you notified when it's done.

Look, look.

You're going to need all the help you can get.

So I'll stay.

Let's do this.

Oh, no.

This is an envelope.

Right.

Wow.

Good job.

Not so fast.

Frida wants you to think this will be easy, but don't be fooled.

She's just getting started.

Really?

Yeah. Once it took me a month to solve a clue.

Please tell me you're joking.

Well, this is going to take a month.

I'm going to need some food.

You eating yet?

Not yet.

That's it.

What's it?

Take me to the cafe.

Yes, ma 'am.

You need a key.

A key?

Yeah, just so that, you know, people don't pick mail that isn't theirs.

I think there's a letter in there for me.

Frida was my aunt.

Oh, I heard. I'm so sorry for your lot.

Here, let me open it for you.

There you go. Thank you.

You book.

I'm not sure where else to go if I'm wrong about this.

You were right.

One item for each in need.

One item for each in deed.

Is that another clue?

An easy one.

She wants us to give each thing we find to someone who needs it.

Well, now I'm starting to like that thing.

Wait a second.

I'm there when it's cold, but I'm not a fire.

I can be closed with a bow, but not one of wire.

Don't think me a car, though I can have a hood.

Made of many materials, but not of wood.

You're right.

This is getting harder.

Where to next?

I'm not sure.

Maybe we should go to the store.

Lord knows it's full of a ton of possible clue items.

Maybe something will spark.

Good thought.

Can I get a club sandwich to go, please?

Yeah, sure, of course.

Your prom dress.

I had no idea she kept it.

You haven't changed a bit.

Don't be silly.

Seven days is a go.

It was a special night.

We were so in love.

Kids, we didn't know any better.

I guess we can move this trunk to the back now. Obviously the clue isn't in

here.

Careful, Kimmy.

This coat tree is magical.

It's helped put coats on hundreds of bats.

But that's impossible, Aunt Frida.

Everything's possible when you set your heart to it.

Remember that.

I got it.

The clue is a coat.

She wants you to deliver a coat?

No. She wants me to bring the golden coat tree to Gloria.

Gloria? I'm sorry.

Who's Gloria?

You'll see.

It's the finest of your life.

Well, it looks abandoned.

She must have moved.

I'm trying to think.

Janet.

Gloria's daughter would know.

Do you know how to reach her?

Not yet.

Bingo.

We found Janet on social media.

She owns a dog grooming service nearby. I'm going to send her a message asking

for her mom's address.

Well, let's hope she gets back to us quickly.

In the meantime...

Okay.

Come on.

You didn't eat lunch.

Thanks.

So, do you work out now?

I have a treadmill.

I hit it a couple times a week.

What about you?

I do online workouts and fitness consulting now.

And my client list has really grown.

That's awesome.

I thought you wanted

to be a dancer.

Well, yeah.

But it's harder to book gigs at my age, and I like helping people live a

healthier lifestyle.

Speaking of clients.

Oh, take it. No problem.

Ellie, what's up?

Kim, an evil donut bringer has come to the set.

I'm sorry, a what?

Brought donuts to the studio.

And? And I'm staring right at it.

Okay.

You need to tell me not to eat it.

Ellie, you can have a donut if you really want one. There are no bad foods.

I want it, but I can't.

If you deprive yourself of the donut, it's all you're going to think about.

And it's the holidays. You can have one.

Really?

Go! Go!

It's delicious.

I'm glad you like it. I have to go. Are you okay?

Never been better.

Thank you, Kim. You are the best.

Sounds like a handful.

She is, but her sessions essentially pay my rent.

In LA, it's so easy to forget that the holidays are just a couple days away.

I never thought I'd say this, but I kind of miss the cold here sometimes.

It's not the same without it.

I can't believe I won't get to spend Christmas with Aunt Frida this year.

How long has it been since you've been back to town?

Not as often recently.

But I've never missed Christmas.

I didn't realize that you still came to visit.

I haven't seen you.

Whose fault is that?

You ready, Ted?

Yeah.

Yeah, 15 minutes from here. Go.

Oh, my goodness, Kim.

I can't believe it. You're all grown up. I'm so beautiful. Aw.

I'm so sorry for showing up out of the blue, Gloria.

But when Frida died, she left me this message.

Oh.

That's just like Frida.

And I believe she wanted you to have her coat tree.

Hi. Is this a good spot? Oh, it's wonderful.

Oh, my.

Just get a look at him.

Um, that's my realtor, Scott Collins.

It's very easy on the eyes.

May I ask why you need a coat tree?

Well, I could tell you, but it would be better just to show you.

Your Aunt Freda was the sweetest thing.

I keep trying to tell her she needed to open a clothing section in the store. I

mean, who doesn't love a good deal?

But she always insisted on giving them away for free.

Oh, here we go.

Yeah.

Janet hasn't worn this in years, and I think it would look great on you.

Much warmer than that skimpy little jacket you're wearing now.

Are you sure?

She'd be happy to know she saved you from frostbite.

And I'm afraid that coat tree won't get much use anymore.

I mean, there's no way I can carry on the drive without Frida. She was the

brains and heart of the whole operation.

I was just the right hand.

Wait. You two did the anonymous Christmas coat drive?

Yes. Wow.

I always wondered.

Every year we...

Place to stand down in the town square and people would come and put their

on it.

And anyone who needed one could just take it without being embarrassed.

Rita called it the Golden Coat Tree.

Janet always loved that name.

Oh, how is Janet?

She married her high school boyfriend, didn't she?

Yep. I guess when you know, you know.

What happened to that fellow you were dating?

You were so much in love. I was sure you were going to get married.

What was the name again?

Scott.

Scott. Scott.

Collins.

Ah.

Interesting.

Complicated. Yeah.

There's a... Oh, is that talking to me?

Yeah.

Let me make some hot chocolate. I'll show you some pictures of the grandbaby.

Come on.

Actually, we should probably head back.

I've really got to wrap this up this week.

Can't afford to have the buyer wait.

Fine. I'll pack you back to my car.

Sounds wonderful.

Love hot chocolate.

He'll be going to kindergarten in the fall.

I can't even.

Oh, it'll happen for you too, honey.

When the time is right.

Oh, I almost forgot. Wait.

Before you go, I have something for you.

What is she doing now?

It's a half hour back to the office and I have to look to get you back to

present bread?

Another envelope.

Another one?

I knew it.

Aunt Freda doesn't play lightly.

The last time I saw your Aunt Freda, she gave me this for you.

I knew it was probably another one of her games. I just never expected it to

a post -mortem one.

We're all going to miss her.

She really meant a lot to this town.

Okay. Well, let me walk you out.

I'm so happy you came by.

Pat -a -cake, pat -a -cake.

She's a baker, but not a man.

Help her bake cookies as fast as she can.

Nursery rhymes now?

Please tell me you know what this means. Do you know the names of all the

bakeries in town?

Wait.

Doesn't someone in your family own a bakery just a couple doors down from

Treasures Eclectic?

Yeah. Yeah, my cousin Paul.

He took it over after my grandpa passed.

But it can't be him.

His wife, Joanna, she helps him out a lot, but she does not know a thing about

baking.

I'm...

Terrible at baking, too.

Well, maybe she wants you to learn how to bake?

That doesn't sound like Aunt Freda.

Can't be.

You did?

Yes. I remember one Christmas, Frida took me to her friend's house where this

cookie baking competition was taking place.

Who is it?

Go there.

Uh, yeah. Um, hold on a sec.

Who is calling at this time of night?

I'm so sorry for calling so late. I'll let you go.

Kim,

you know Scott won't wait for you forever, right?

There's nothing to wait for.

I live in L .A. now and he didn't want to leave Forestbrook.

We're finished.

The heart doesn't care about location.

I just hope you don't discover what you've lost when it's far too late.

Hello? Mary Beth Nichols.

Wait, that name sounds familiar.

No, that's the woman who hosted the cookie baking competition with Frida.

That's the connection. I just realized Aunt Frida has this set of really cool A

&C cookie cutters.

That has to be it.

What do you say we go visit her first thing tomorrow?

We?

Well, if you don't mind me taking along, my family, we used to go to our cookie

baking competitions when I was a kid.

I was kind of the reigning champion for a while, actually.

I totally forgot about that.

I think that's the first time I ever saw you.

Really?

I'll look for those cookie cutters and see you tomorrow.

Sounds good.

Coffee.

What's that?

Coffee.

I could pick us up along the way.

Sounds good.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Any luck?

No. I've looked for hours. Where could they be?

Well, maybe this will help.

Best coffee in Forestbrook.

Thanks.

Remind me again what they look like?

I remember they're quite old.

And they're in a circular metal pen.

But they just aren't here.

Could she have told them?

No way.

They were passed down by my great -grandmother.

Freedom had to put them away and wanted her friend Mary Beth to have them.

Well, I'll keep searching.

It's cold in here.

I'll go get my new, well, old coat and join you.

Wait till they cool, Kimmy. Now, these have been in our family for generations.

One day, they're going to be yours.

But if you don't like to bake, try and find someone who is

worthy of them.

Santa would be extremely disappointed.

If we don't get his cookies.

They were in the kitchen.

Finally. I remember seeing her using them when I was a kid during the

You know, maybe Aunt Freda made this little trip down memory lane so I don't

someone take all the contents here without properly sorting through

Could be.

Yeah, you know, I've just been thinking about what Leonard said.

These aren't just old things.

They're the pieces that make up the fabric of my Aunt Frida's life.

I like that.

But it could take some time.

I just hope it doesn't cost us our deal.

I know. Don't worry.

It's just a thought.

It's really good coffee, hey? Yeah.

Yeah.

It's my third cup already.

It was a late night.

I'm sorry. I really didn't mean to interrupt. My dad's not doing so well,

Oh, no. I had no idea he was unwell.

I know.

It's not something we advertise.

Of course it has.

If there's anything I can... Thank you.

Well, let's get your find over to Marybeth.

Sure. Let's do it.

I haven't thought about Mary Beth in so long.

I forgot how much fun her Christmas decorating parties were.

I hate to brag, but I won that contest three years in a row.

Well, you didn't win the year I was there.

Well, that's because my parents insisted that I help my sister out.

She even made fun of me for it last night when I brought it up.

Your sister?

Last night?

Megan!

Yeah, how is she?

I have to say hello.

Yeah. Yeah, she'd love that.

She still hasn't forgiven me for our breakup.

Well,

you know, you may be quick at decorating, but if Mary Beth ever

based on design, you'd be in last place.

Are you dissing my award -winning cookie?

I remember they tasted great, actually. It was the presentation.

So the bit off is off.

Presentations. Presentations.

have to cool first.

These are for you, Mary Beth.

Now, I'm certain that your Aunt Freda would have wanted you to have them, Kim.

They're precious antiques. I know.

But she knew that you were the person who would appreciate them the most.

Cookie cutters.

They're so beautiful.

Oh.

Dean.

She found that we had to cancel the contest this year.

What? How come?

Well, I can't do it without Frida.

It was our thing.

We always did it together.

I didn't realize how involved she was in it.

Oh, yeah.

It was her idea to make it a fundraiser.

Yeah.

A different cause every year.

The two of you would have made a great team, by the way.

Oh, really?

Your speed, Scott, and your attention to detail, Kim.

I wish I could have seen that.

Frida would have been so happy to see you two together again.

Oh, we're not back. You know, we would have made a great team if Kim

didn't object to my presentation.

I just, I can't do it alone. It's too much for one person.

But, uh, please come and see me anytime.

Unfortunately, I'm going back to Los Angeles as soon as the deal closes on

Little Treasures Eclectic.

Oh, but do you need to go so soon? I didn't

realize that you were leaving Forestbrook for good.

It's hard to imagine this town without Frida and her shop.

It's so magical.

Oh, and before I forget, Frida left you an envelope.

Another envelope.

Well, let's hope this is the last clue.

I'm worried that we're going to lose this deal.

I get it.

I'm waiting for that money to finally turn my life around.

Turn your life around?

I thought that's why you left.

Well, things haven't exactly gone the way I was hoping.

I guess you're glad you didn't move to LA with me now.

Of course not.

I've always wanted the best for you.

You left me right as we were starting our lives together.

I stayed because I didn't want to hold you back.

Back from what?

I didn't want to keep you from your dreams.

It was exactly the opposite.

You always made me feel like I could do anything.

And then when I lost you, I didn't have that same kind of confidence anymore.

Here we go.

It took me a minute to remember where I put it.

Boney Traveler in the Dark.

searching for that tiny spark.

Didn't know which way to go until, of course, you made it so.

Does that mean anything to you?

I'm afraid not.

It's my sister.

Yeah, I'll be right there.

It's my dad.

I'm sorry, Mary Beth. We have to go.

No, of course.

Thank you.

Bye. Thank you.

I can't believe you're here.

Look at you. You're a full -grown woman now.

The teenager last time I saw you.

I... I am so sorry about Frida.

I'm really going to miss her.

Me too.

How is life?

It's... It's good.

You hesitated.

You haven't changed at all. Always poking, prying.

I like to be nosy.

It really is good.

Did you get your big L .A. dream?

Sort of.

Things kind of changed a little bit.

Is there any special guy in your life?

Not really.

L .A. isn't ideal for meeting Mr. Perfect.

Especially when Mr. Perfect for You is right here in Forest Brook.

Megan, your brother's great, but I think we've crossed that bridge.

It's okay.

Life goes on.

Are you sure about that?

There you go, Pops. Nice and easy.

There you go.

Sorry I wasn't here earlier.

I had some business to take care of.

It's no matter.

There's no rush to move from the bedroom to the living room.

I don't know why Megan called you to disturb you.

Dad. Dad, you're never disturbing me.

How are you, Mr. Collins?

It's good to see you.

Kim asked her.

Is that really you?

It is so good to see the two of you back together.

You know...

Scott, it was never the same since you left.

Pops, we're not back together.

I'm helping Kim sell her Aunt Freda's property.

Freda was an amazing woman.

Pops, what do you need?

Kim, dear, in the cabinet there,

How do you have that?

When did you get it?

Well, Frida came by a couple of weeks ago.

Told me to hang on to it for you.

I had no idea.

I remember her coming by, but I didn't know that she left anything.

Frida was always helping people and making their lives better.

Always liked playing games.

So the other clue must have been for you, Mr. Collins. I'm sorry.

Well, what does it say?

Maybe we can help.

Lonely traveler in the dark, searching for that tiny spark.

Didn't know which way to go until, of course, you made it so.

Does that mean anything to you?

Sorry, guys, but he needs to rest.

OK.

I'll come see you later, Pop. All right?

I didn't realize your dad was so bad.

Yeah.

It's getting worse.

Is there anything I can do to help?

There's not anything anyone can do right now.

But, thanks.

What's the next clue?

I am used to the door, but I am not a blocker, IP pole, or brassy knocker.

I'm used in both day and night.

I have some teeth, but do not bite.

Jeez, this is getting harder.

I feel like I'm failing, Frida.

Actually, I think I know what this clue is.

You know, if you tell me what you're looking for, maybe I can help.

Freeze car keys.

I think my gift is there.

Well, wouldn't they be by the register?

She hid them in a different part of the shop each day for safety.

Interesting. Mm -hmm.

This reminds me of something.

I just can't place it.

Frida left that music box.

It's just too bad the other dancer's missing.

Missing?

I think that there's a woman that used to go there.

I can't do this again.

I don't need Freda's car keys anymore.

I think this is what I was looking for.

Used to hang from her rearview mirror, but she wrapped it for me.

I think that this gift may be the last clue.

Frida called it Santa's key.

I would leave it out for him every Christmas Eve I was here since Aunt

didn't have a chimney.

That's clever.

As a kid, I was always worried he'd get stuck.

The key represents so many happy memories for me.

I think Christmas is here in Forestbrook with my aunt.

Having family dinners with anyone who had nowhere to go.

Freedom tradition.

I remember that.

Some of the best times of my life.

I think I get it.

She meant for you to have the key to this place.

To her kingdom.

Coming back here.

Coming home is what Aunt Frida wanted for me.

It was her final wish.

So you're rethinking the tale.

Forget about the deal for a moment.

What do you want?

I'm not cut out for a life of selling vintage trinkets in a small town, Scott.

There's more to Forestbrook than that.

Didn't your aunt's treasure hunt teach you anything?

Ellie, I couldn't wait. I have something amazing to tell you about.

Now really isn't the best time. You have been so awesome with me. I've been

thinking about ways I could have you closer to me at all times, and then it

me. What hit you?

I talked my producers into having you do the fitness segments on my show.

You mean a fitness segment, right? I mean twice a week, every week.

But if you want it, you have to be in L .A. Dad, we're filming, baby.

Oh.

Um.

I've got some unfinished business here.

Well, finish it. Because you are Ellie Frazier's new on -air fitness guru.

I think it's going to be amazing.

Call me as soon as you get back.

I'm going to sleep, Megan.

I'll get him to bed.

Okay.

I am tired.

How is he?

Same.

Don't talk about me like I'm not here.

How are you feeling?

Sick.

From the look of things, maybe better than you.

You mess things up with Kim again?

Probably.

Please, son.

Don't tell me you're going to let this girl get away twice.

All right.

Time to get out the big guns.

I may have something that will help.

Kim.

We need to talk.

Scott.

Yes? We do.

I was going to call you, actually.

Listen, I'm going back to L .A., and I'm hoping you and Leonard can handle

things from here.

What?

You're leaving?

I got a great opportunity to get my own fitness segment on a TV show.

But I think you're right about your aunt wanting to keep the store and see it

live on.

I don't understand.

You've been so focused on getting this deal closed. I'm confused.

I was.

I wanted to close the deal.

But I want you to stay more.

You too.

Kim, I ruined things for us once.

And I can't let that happen again.

I know you.

I don't see that excitement when you talk about L .A.

I think that your aunt, she did this whole treasure hunt to show you that you

belong here with me.

I don't know, Scott.

I've been waiting for an opportunity like this for a long time.

It's my dad's.

How does he have... It's not my story to tell.

Now, the treasure hunt is complete.

There's nothing stopping you from selling.

Not even me.

Hi, Kim.

Hey. If you're looking for Scott, he's at the real estate office.

I'm here to see your dad, actually.

I knew you'd come and see me.

Mr. Collins, I'm confused why you have this piece that used to belong to my

Freda's music box.

The thing about getting older is that secrets weigh on you.

When I was a young man, Frida and I were madly in love with each other.

What?

She dreamed of making it big on Broadway,

and I let her go, just like you and Scott.

How come you and Frida never told me any of this?

I think it hurt too much. We just kept it to ourselves.

But before she left, she gave me this.

And I kept it with me, near me, so that she would be near me always.

I see.

But things didn't work out the way she planned in New York.

She realized that she could have a better impact on people's lives here in

Forestbrook than in the big city.

So she came back.

And then what happened?

Well, by then, it was too late for us.

I didn't think that Freda was coming back, so by then I'd already met and

married Scott and Megan's mother.

It freed another clue, the one we couldn't figure out.

Lonely traveler in the dark, searching for that tiny spark.

Didn't know which way to go.

Until, of course, you made it so.

I think she saw the same spark in you and Scott that we had.

And she wanted to make sure that you didn't lose your way from it like we

Welcome back. Hi.

What can I get you?

A pink lemonade would be great, thanks. You got it.

Hey, did you ever find what you were looking for with that letter?

Yeah.

I think I did.

Long ago, I lost my light, looking to be famous overnight.

Now I have a second chance, thanks to a figurine who loves to dance.

Never again to travel far.

I'll be waiting for you, where the eclectic things are.

Kim.

Hey.

You got my rhyme. I thought I tried to pull a Frida and see if you could get

You think?

Say it again.

I'm staying.

I would have given anything to hear those words years ago.

They're even sweeter now.

I learned a lot from Frida's little hunt.

Hopefully that love is more important than anything else.

Scott?

I know this sale meant a lot to you.

I should have told you why I needed the money from the beginning.

I was counting on this sale to help my dad get a new trial drug he's in line

for.

They've had good results in the past, but it's not covered under insurance.

I'm so sorry.

I had no idea.

How could you?

But... The medical trial starts in a week, and if we can't get the payments

then... And you're the reason I've been torn about this whole thing.

There's got to be something we can do.

Believe me, I have tried every bank, every other option I can think of.

And selling the store, it seemed like a Christmas miracle.

Until I realized that I can't lose you a second time.

Wait a minute.

Maybe... Maybe you won't have to.

What are you thinking?

It could work.

Kim, you're killing me here.

Everyone in this town cares about each other.

It's one of the things Frida loved most about living here in Forestbrook.

And one of the reasons...

She helped everyone she could.

Right.

So, I think I know a way we can raise money for your dad.

Mary Beth, I really appreciate you coming. It means so much to me and the

Collins family.

I would never miss this.

As a matter of fact, I would like to buy some antique cookie cutters, please.

Oh.

Um, well, we... I've already taken them.

But we did agree to $100.

Thank you, Mary Beth.

My pleasure.

Oh, um, I will be right back.

Hey.

Give me the darn phone.

How's it going there, son?

It's going great, Dad.

It was a brilliant idea from Kim.

One of the best things anyone's ever done for their family.

I'm proud of you, son.

I love you, Pops.

I'll call you later.

Now, back to work, you.

Drill sergeant.

I almost

forgot these.

That is so generous, Mary Beth.

It's not for nothing.

I expect you and Scott to be paired together for my next baking party.

We'll be there.

I'll come early to help set up, too.

In Frida's place.

Of course you will.

That's why I'm doing it.

Gloria,

it's good to see you.

Oh, how much for a dozen?

Can you do 15?

How about 40?

I'll pick them up later.

Thank you, Gloria.

Frida did so much for so many.

Feels good to give back.

Oh, don't forget, we have to place the golden coat rack out tomorrow.

I'll be there. All right.

Bye.

You're distracting me.

That was the idea.

It feels so good to be a part of a community that bands together, helps

out in a time of need.

I know exactly what you mean.

About 2 ,000.

2 ,000 over our goal.

What? Yeah.

You know, with all these items sold in here,

and a little rearranging of the display cases, there's going to be a lot of

extra room in here. What are you getting at?

Well, it could be...

A great space for fitness training.

There's nothing like it here in Forestbrook.

Yet. And clients could do their shopping on their way in or out.

I love it.

And I love you.

That there was no one better than the king, singing, I'm a blue Christmas.

Did you finally solve

Freda's treasure hunt?

We did.

But we couldn't have done it without you.

And we got you something.

For me?

Open it, Don.

I'll treasure it always.

Megan, why don't you help me make some eggnog in the kitchen?

But you hate eggnog.

Let's just go.

And you, come with me.

What? Why?

Oh, God.

I don't know what to say.

Since you came to town, permanently, things have

finally felt right.

Your aunt said that his keys opened every door in town.

Even one to the front.
