All language subtitles for Spotlight On Christmas [2020]

O come, all ye faithful, joyful and

triumphant, O come ye, O come ye to
Bethlehem.

You wouldn't think we're only three
weeks away from Christmas with these

temperatures. And speaking of Christmas,
Captain Colossus Girl will hit theaters

Christmas Day.

But it looks like film star Olivia O
'Hara will be going to the premiere

Ryan Wrangler stated in a recent
interview that he would be taking a

the relationship to focus on his music.
With a new release expected any day now.

Miss O 'Hara, excuse me.

Miss O 'Hara, may I bother you for an
autograph?

Oh, you won't bother me at all. It's a
pleasure.

Thank you, my hero.

alone at Christmas.

Hey, it's Liv.

I booked a last -minute flight back to
Valley Hill, so if anyone's looking for

me, mum's the word.

Merry Christmas.

Captain Colossus girl?

Hey.

Who's this guy?

Santa. Is he your favorite?

Yeah. What does he say?

Ho, ho, ho. There you are. Mom!

Thank you.

I turned my back for one second.

I'm sorry.

Have we met before?

Oh. You know what? That's me.

Merry Christmas.

Olivia? Jamie!

Hi!

Come here!

Oh!

I didn't know you were coming for
Christmas.

Me neither.

You know, I think you've grown an inch
since you last visited me in L .A.

I'm actually the shortest of fifth
grade.

But I make up for it in spirit.

I believe it.

Mr. Porter says it's not the size of the
player that counts. It's the size of

their game.

Oh, thank you.

Mom, look what...

We didn't realize that you were coming.
Oh, I wanted to see you guys. I missed

you. Well, we missed you, too.

How are you doing with everything?

Uh, great.

You know, single and ready to jingle.

Just, you know, I'm happy to be home.

Maybe Liv could stay in my room. We
would have sleepovers every night. I

your sister might need a little space to
recover after her travels. We kept your

room exactly the same. Oh, thank you,
Mom. I'm sorry. I should have called.

No, don't worry. This is...

The best surprise.

Oh, and you can help us bake a pie. Oh,
I would love to.

I'm so glad you're home.

Everyone's home for the holidays!

Okay, come. Yes, okay.

Wow, it looks amazing.

So, A -list.

Oh, go ahead. Try it on.

Oh, wow, wow, wow.

Do these look good? They sure do.

Hey, and feel free to borrow anything.
It's the sister rule.

Is this for me?

Uh, maybe. I guess you'll have to wait
and see.

Okay, I know this isn't for me.

What is it for?

Sorry.

Okay. Turns out, it's not for me either.

I know.

You do?

Yeah.

Did Mom tell you?

And the girls at school talk about it.

At Twitter, my Facebook news,

Mrs. Taylor down the street.

Well, they'll forget about it by
Christmas.

Are you staying until Christmas?

Yeah, of course I am.

Yeah. Let me just unpack a little more,
and I will meet you in the kitchen.

I'm so happy you're here. We've missed
you so much.

Oh, I miss you too.

So we need to make sure we have enough
flour.

Not too much flour. Kind of perfect.

Okay. Now the secret is to work the
pastry as little as possible so that it

stays tender and flaky. Okay?

What are you making, Grandma Mary's
pumpkin or my personal favorite, North

pie?

Pumpkin. That North Pole pie, I begged
your dad to give me the recipe, but it

was his secret.

But maybe your sister and I can figure
out how to cook it while you're here.

I love a challenge.

There's eight days until Christmas, so
once Janie perfects her pie crust

we can start putting in orders.

This is just my practice, Pi.

Well, I hope we get to practice eating
it.

Hang on a second.

Does this recipe call for regular milk
or condensed milk?

Uh,

condensed.

Oh, that's what I was afraid of.

Well, I mean, I can just go to the
store.

It's kind of a special ingredient. Maybe
get two cans?

You can use the truck while you're here.
Wait, Dad's truck?

You still have it?

expect me in this.

Oh,

Dad.

I really miss these old titties.

Strike and swell when I'm fast asleep.

Down that chimney, broad and black, with
your pep, your greed.

Oh, the starry... Rumor has it our very
own Olivia O

'Hara is in town for the holidays. If
you're lucky, you just might spot her

around. Welcome home, Olivia, and Merry
Christmas from all of us here at Valley

Hill.

I found you.

Olivia O 'Hara?

Hmm?

Take your own.

We went to high school together.

Oh, my gosh.

Casey. Hi. Of course I remember you. How
are you? I'm good.

Thanks. How are you?

Me?

Yeah. I mean, I'm great. Things are
great.

That's great.

You look great, perfectly framed.

Okay.

What's it been, 10 years?

Um, 12.

Wow, time flies.

So you're home for the holidays?

Um, yes, yes, the holidays. Yeah, I'm
definitely home for the holidays.

Well, uh, happy holidays.

Happy holidays.

Okay. Will that be all?

Yeah, that's everything.

Oh, and the hat.

Hi,

Gordon. It's Olivia.

I know.

I'd recognize that smile anyway.

How's your family?

Well, the kids have kids now, and
they're all home for Christmas.

Wow. Well, tell everybody that I said
hello. I'll do that.

That's $14 .75.

Thank you.

Oh, and one for you and one for your
sister.

Merry Christmas, Gordon.

Must be my lucky day.

Need a hand?

Hey. Hey.

Pop this for me?

Uh, yeah.

Sounds like it's not turning over, which
makes me think it might be the starter.

Yeah. I think you're going to need a
tow.

Let's just go from bad to worse.

No good and see already?

Oh, no, it's not that.

What? I'm sure you've already heard.
It's kind of all over the entertainment

shows.

I don't watch much TV.

I've got three channels, and two of them
are the weather.

Hey,

Jim, it's Casey.

Yeah, I'm at Gordon's Groceries with an
old friend, and she needs a tow.

An hour.

Yeah, no, no, I understand.

Okay, thanks, Jim.

Well, um, better get walking. I'm on a
bit of a timeline, so... Pretty dark.

Can I walk you home?

Um... Yeah, that'd be great.

Perfect.

Hey.

Funny I bumped into you. I was just
thinking I needed some expert advice.

Expert? You know I only play a genius in
the movies, right?

Good enough for me.

So how would you get a classroom to
focus on Shakespearean classics?

I'm finding it challenging.

But the language, it's so beautiful. It
reads like a song.

I know.

The kids today, they're different than
when we were born.

than you are.

How do you mean?

I saw you in all your plays. You were
incredible.

You know all the words.

Not their fault, though. They're
distracting.

Literally every answer is at their
fingertips.

So analyzing the Shakespearean sonnets,
that's tough.

But Shakespeare isn't about answers.
It's about an experience.

Well, when you say it like that, they
might actually listen.

Your family sure loves getting in the
Christmas spirit.

Yeah, they sure do.

Is it too much?

No, never too much Christmas.

You should see my place.

Well, I better get going.

Where's my finu?

Violet.

Uh, Kathy.

Yeah.

Thank you for helping with the truck.

Maybe I could visit your students to
repay you.

Classroom 120, Monday to Friday, pretty
much all the time.

120, anytime.

Got it.

What day is it today?

17th. Only eight days until Christmas.

Oh my gosh. So pretty.

There you go. Thank you.

Mom! Dad!

Liz back!

Olivia, welcome.

John, hi.

Your mother was worried.

I was not.

What happened?

Oh, the truck broke down.

Oh, honey, I'm sorry. It's had problems
starting over the last little while. No,

it's okay. I really enjoyed my walk
home. And the tow truck company will be

giving you a call tonight.

Well, thank you for sorting that all
out.

And the fire patrol calls.

There is a certain young baker who is
thrilled to have you home.

We all are.

Hey, Mom, how many pairs of Clarice
Christensen boots do you own?

Who?

That is what I thought.

Thank you for getting the groceries. Oh,
yes, it was really nice being out just

shopping. Yeah? Did anyone recognize
you? No. Well, actually, everybody

recognized me, but not because they've
seen me, because they know me.

Oh, well, that must be a welcome change.

Yeah, it really was. Good.

Well, I'll do this in half an hour.

You know, Janie has not stopped talking
about Permanator.

We were so lucky that she could come and
go to the premiere with you and walk

the red carpet.

Well, we loved it.

We saw it five times. We saw a movie
about a supergirl who uses a curling

to fight evil five times.

I thought it was full of remarkable
messages for young girls Janie's age.

You have to fight for what you believe
in, and our favorite, you can still kick

butt on a bad hair day.

I actually wrote that line in. I was
trying to add some depth, I guess. I

it. Didn't I say? Some of those lines
sound just like Olivia. You have always

been so talented.

So, Terminator 2?

Yeah, maybe in the summer.

You're not excited?

I mean, don't get me wrong, those movies
are great, but truthfully, they're just

not feeding my soul anymore.

My manager, Laura, keeps telling me that
my dream role is right around the

corner. It just feels like a very long
corner.

Judge, I present to you, in the
tradition of Grandmother Mary.

Thank you, Mom.

Thanks.

Janie Wilson, were there any particular
difficulties you had to overcome in this

pumpkin pie challenge?

Yes. At a crucial step in the recipe,
halfway through, I found myself missing

key component.

Do you mind if we... Luckily, I was able
to keep myself and my dough chill

enough while my assistant was able to
secure the secret ingredient.

Well, and I just have to say that I find
the presentation of the whipped cream,

like, not just on top of the pie, but
almost entirely covering it, is a brand

-new technique for me.

Thank you. I like to give all of my
dishes a little step of my personality.

Judges, if you will.

Uh -huh, uh -huh.

Firm, yet silky texture.

A delicious combination of spices.

And a rich, flaky crust.

Janie Wilson, this might be the best
piece of pie I've ever had.

I second that.

Grandma Mary, look out.

Want to try it?

Whoa!

So what do you think?

Red plaid?

Blue plaid?

Enjoy.

There we go.

It's looking pretty good.

What do you think?

I like the red blood better anyway.

I can't believe this.

Could Ryan Wrangler and Olivia O 'Hara
be getting back together?

Or is it split -seas for both of them?

Join us for an OKLA exclusive as to
what's in store for the ex -power

Ryan and Olivia.

Here's what he had to say.

Olivia and I remain the best of friends.

She's a wonderful woman. I wouldn't be
where I am without her.

She fully supports me in my career and
your relationship.

What? In fact, she called me last night
to wish me a Merry Christmas.

And to tell me how much he loves my new
thing.

It's called Christmas Cutie, and it's
dropping tomorrow. Download your copy at

midnight. Guys, I've got to run. Merry
Christmas. Thank you, Ryan.

Well, you heard it from Ryan Wrangler's
side.

We'll let you know Olivia's when we find
her.

I can't believe you kept...

Good morning, Mrs. McMillan. I'm here to
visit Casey, Mr.

Rollins' English class. Room 120.

Great. Do I need a... You'll need a
visitor. Thank you.

Olivia O 'Hara.

Hi, Mrs.

McMillan. Olivia O 'Hara!

Oh, I haven't seen you in years.

I mean, I see you in all your movies. I
love all your movies. Oh, thank you.

My favorite one is... the one where you
lead that group of misfit astronauts

to... Pluto.

That's right, Pluto.

The people on the Plutonian.

I just loved you in that when you were
so fierce.

To what do we owe the honor of your
presence?

I'm actually at the school to try and
get Shakespeare the attention he

Well, if anyone can do that, it's Olivia
O 'Hara.

We'll always remember you as our Juliet.

Oh, such passion.

Get down there and show the kids what
it's like to never give up on their

Oh, yeah

Hero, not thy image doth appear in the
rare semblance that I loved it first.

What's he mean?

Anybody?

That's okay not to understand it the
first time. It's a great thing about old

Willie Shakespeare.

Makes us do our own thinking.

Makes us ask questions.

Makes us go digging for that truth.

You know, Shakespeare isn't about the
answers, guys.

An experience.

Well, I couldn't have said it better
myself.

What fire is in mine ears? Can this be
true?

Contempt. Farewell.

No glory lives behind the phone of such.

I will requite thee.

Thank you. Thank you.

In the meantime...

Some necessary question of the play be
then to be considered.

Act four, scene one.

And I'm sure you remember the beer.

Oh, it never gets old.

You know, I think every movie I've ever
made has been an attempt to recreate the

feeling I first had right here.

And that is?

Gallop apace, you fiery -footed thief.

I miss it. The community, the
creativity.

Oh, it's magic.

Well, you're not going to like this,
then.

We had to cancel the Christmas Eve play.

First time in school's history.

I'm sorry.

Cancel the Christmas Eve play? Why?

Nicole, our drama teacher, she's on
maternity leave.

Our teachers, we tried to rally
together, but we couldn't pull it off.

There's no drama teacher right now?

No, the kids just use it as a study
block.

Well, that won't do.

Thank you again, Liv.

You're really inspiring.

Oh, any time.

I hope you mean that.

This went well, I take it?

It did.

Lovely seeing you again, Mrs. M. Our
door is always open.

Bye, Casey.

Bye, Liv.

New shirt?

Oh.

Yeah, you like it? I do.

Nice to see a blossoming friendship
between you two.

I have a feeling Olivia could use that
right now.

Could you please take these to
recycling?

As long as she's here, I don't want any
unpleasant reminders.

You know what that girl could use right
now?

A gorgeous old friend to take her down
memory lane.

Nothing cures heartbreak like ice cream.

Ice cream, well.

Vernon,

you keep?

Um, if you could call it that.

Think you can sneak away for a little
break?

What do you have in mind?

Well, to thank you for your active
service this morning.

They are serving festive -flavored
milkshakes at the diner.

Well, that was me thanking you for
yesterday.

Milkshakes, some will call it even.

Deal.

I'll take that. Oh, thank you.

I'll meet you in the truck.

Okay.

If

there

is ever an option, eggnog is the only
answer.

Oh, no. I agree to disagree. Chocolate
and peppermint together?

There's nothing better.

Really? Want to try it?

My dad used to bring me here all the
time.

This place has not changed.

Win or lose, you treat the whole team
after every game.

He's a great guy.

Incredible coach.

He's an incredible father.

So, how long did you stay here in town
for?

Um, just until things calm down in L .A.
Or until they find me.

That paparazzi.

Right now, my personal life's a bit,
well, let's just say Shakespeare would

it a comedy of errors, and that sells
magazines.

I'm sorry to have to think for you.

You have to go through everything so
publicly.

Like breakups.

Hey, you're up.

And that is why I cannot wait for this
cheeseburger. I'm looking forward to it

almost as much as my mom's Christmas
marshmallow, you know.

Marshmallows on yams. Oh, absolutely.

It's an O 'Hara specialty.

Sounds delicious, actually.

And not too difficult.

Do you cook?

I reheat.

Really well.

Okay.

Honestly, I'm just so busy.

The team practices most nights, and then
on the weekends we're traveling, so...

So, I mean, do you have someone special
in your life?

Yeah, you could say that.

Amazing, Casey, and you should.

We met a year ago when I got back, and
we have been inseparable ever since.

We don't speak the same language, but we
have a deeper connection.

A teacher?

Not exactly, but I do learn from her
every day. How to play, how to love

unconditionally, and how to hide milk
bones in between the couch cushions.

Oh, you're talking about your dog.

What did you think I was talking about?

I work with Teach for America, so I get
transferred to a new city and a new

school every two years.

It's really rewarding.

But it's a little hard to give a
relationship what it deserves when

always on the move.

Yeah, I get that.

I travel for work, too, a lot.

It's a juggling act, career and love.

I've always been so driven. I think it's
something that people find

intimidating.

No, it's not intimidating.

It's inspiring.

as inspiring as what you're doing at
Eagle Heights.

Now, that takes bravery.

I just hope I can do enough for those
kids.

John was the first to go, but with all
of our busy schedules, he's not the

Look, I know it's only a week before
Christmas, but I have an idea.

Maybe I could... Maybe I could pick up
where Nicole left off and help get the

Christmas Eve playback on its feet.

Yeah?

Yes. Yes.

I'm in.

That is fantastic.

Double cheeseburgers, double cheese, no
tomato.

Cooked to perfection. That looks
amazing.

I'm sorry to bother you, but can we have
your autograph?

Obviously, dinner is on the house.

Of course, and thank you, darling.

I'm your biggest fan.

Well, enjoy you too.

Thank you.

Hey, I didn't say that fame didn't have
a subset.

So, 6 .30 a .m. pickup.

Maybe wear comfortable shoes.

What is wrong with these? They're
Clarice Christensen.

Olivia O 'Hara, no one from Colorado
should be wearing shoes like that in the

middle of winter.

Of course not.

Get some rest.

You're going to need it.

Hey, Liv.

How are the milkshakes?

Oh, they were just as good as I
remember.

How's Mr. Rollins? Mr. Rollins is
actually driving me to school tomorrow.

I'm hoping to fill in at the drama
department and possibly direct the

Eve play. Well done, Liv. Back on the
boards. That's wonderful, honey.

Thanks. I made this one for you.

It's a star, like you.

It's beautiful. Thank you.

Hey, where should I put it?

Somewhere by a Christmas light so it
sparkles.

How about there?

That's perfect.

Huh. Is this the hotel key card?

Yeah. It's the weirdest thing. I don't
know how it ended up in our backyard.

The Pine Point Hotel.

Where is that?

Pine Point. I think that's the new hotel
that just opened downtown Fancy.

The paparazzi might know I'm here.

No way.

Hi.

Yeah, just let me grab a pen.

Laura. Hey, it's Olivia.

There's a paparazzi named Stephanie
Mitchell from Universal Star Magazine in

hometown.

Whatever story she's writing, end it.

End it now.

Morning,

Mr. Rector. How was your sleep?

Oh, I just, you know, need a coffee.

Thank you.

So nice.

Olivia! Hi,

how are you?

Better now.

There's no way I could ever thank you
enough. You are a Christmas miracle.

But, cookies?

Oh, my gosh. Two boys and one on the
way. Where do you find the time to make

these? During the holidays, we turn them
into an assembly line. One cuts the

shapes and froths, and the youngest one
mostly just makes the mess.

So, I talked to Nicole last night. They
were halfway through rehearsals, so you

can just pick up where she left off.

This is the most amazing thing that's
happened all year.

The students will love you. Oh, we'll
see about that. They will. This whole

loves you, ever since you stole our
hearts in the spring play. Are you

me? I looked up to you. You were the...
heart of that show, I remember being so

moved by your solo.

Well, at the time I could hit the high
E, but I don't know. When you stepped on

stage, you just had it.

This is the Christmas Eve playbook, tech
cues, and everything else you'll need.

I can't wait to see what you come up
with.

And of course, if you have any questions
at all, I'm only a phone call away.

Thank you, Olivia.

Well, thank you for the cookies.

Thank the boys.

Bye, Nicole.

I'm just down the hall.

You're gonna do great.

Break a leg.

Ms. O 'Hara, I'm Gabby. I was Mrs.
Hudson's assistant, and I'd be really

to continue doing that job.

Oh, sure.

Great. I will take this and put this on
your desk, which is right here.

Here is the class list. Oh, thank you.

Hello, everyone.

My name is Ms. O 'Hara, but you can call
me Olivia.

Great. Okay.

Well, we have Gabby.

Is there Brittany?

Brittany. Hi, Brittany.

Chris.

Chris. Yes, I like it.

Jack.

Jack Carson.

Well, Jack Carson comes whenever he
wants.

Okay. Well, most of you are here.

So, you know what?

Let's get started with a warm -up. If
everyone can take off their bags and

meet me on stage.

You must be Jack. We're just getting
started if you'd like to join us.

All right.

Okay.

So, there's something else we have to
take off. Our cool.

This is a place to be open, to be free,
to be you.

Nicole did a great job with the play
already. They're almost off book. I

them a little trick to help them
memorize their lines, and they seemed to

it.

You are a natural.

Well, I couldn't get Jack Carson to join
in, but...

Yeah, Jack's a tough one to get through
to.

He lost his dad last year.

You know, I think he might be the one
who can finally reach him.

Me?

I want to show you something.

Your mom presented it right here.

You were so supportive and generous.

Well, the apple doesn't fall far from
the tree.

I'll see you tomorrow.

See you tomorrow.

Hey, do you have the tape?

Are all of these for Janie?

I know.

I just can't help myself.

I hope my online shopping makes it on
time. I managed to bring a few things

L .A., but your present is our present.

I forgot how special it feels to be home
for Christmas.

Yeah. Hawaii was nice with everyone a
couple years ago, but the surfing Santas

don't really cut it, do they? No.

You know, I just had this story in my
head that I couldn't be at home at

Christmas without Dad.

Yeah, I understand.

I mean, you know, I've learned that
Christmas really is a time when we can

with everybody again, even if it's just
in memories or, you know, traditions.

How can that be?

Whoa.

John has good taste.

They're for you.

They're from Ryan.

I haven't heard from him since he broke
up. Our engagement over text.

Honey, I'm so sorry.

It's okay.

We had been drifting apart for a while
and...

Our schedules were never really matching
up.

He wasn't always so into being famous.
He was really sweet and humble, and he

would write these songs. But now he's
just... So, are you going to let him

that you got his flowers?

I... I don't know how I feel about all
this. I just... You know what? I want to

be home for Christmas and focus on the
students and the play.

You know, whenever life has handed you a
challenge, you have always managed to

turn it into something just magical.

And that is exactly what you're doing
with this play at the school.

I hope so.

Oh, it is, honey.

I can feel it.

You want a hot chocolate?

Yeah, I'd love that.

Welcome back.

I'd like to have a spectacular ending. I
want the audience talking about the

finale into the new year, and I'm open
to suggestions.

Oh, maybe we could have snow falling on
the stage.

That's a great idea.

Yes, Brittany.

Um, well, I'm just hoping I don't freeze
and forget everything.

You won't. We'll keep practicing. It's
going to be fantastic.

I'd be willing to sing a solo.

Or two.

Okay.

Jack, you could at least applaud every
now and then if you're just going to be

an audience member.

Jack, can I see you in the hallway,
please?

Now?

I'm just, you know, keep practicing,
everyone.

elective you selected for the semester
if you don't want to participate then

are you here eda okay well right now
you're on track for an edf whatever

look i know high school isn't easy for
anyone and i i

know it's hard to put your heart into
anything after it's been you don't know

okay you're right i don't but i think i
might be able to relate to what you're

going through

Have you ever heard of the Michael O
'Hara Memorial Scholarship?

Of course.

That's my dad.

We lost him in your year, right around
that time.

I miss him every day.

If you don't want to perform in the
play, that's fine.

But you can't just sit in the back.

You have to move forward, even if it's
with small steps to start.

What am I supposed to do?

Well, um, we could really use a hair and
makeup person or a costumes captain.

I like music.

Okay. Yeah. Okay, music. That's great.

Um, we could really use a soundtrack.

Christmas carols?

Okay, yeah. I don't know. Uh, I make
beats.

Yeah. Okay. How about some carols and
some original music?

Yeah, maybe.

Okay, and maybe you could bring in some
recordings for maybe the end of the

week. Sure.

We'll be right back.

I need a

Christmas tree

that don't mean a thing to me. All I
want is you right

next to me.

Santa Claus.

The jolly old thing they can bring I
need a Christmas tree

That don't mean a thing to me All I want
is you right next

to me All I want is you right

next to me All I want is you

The show's tomorrow and we don't have a
Santa costume.

The school doesn't have any costumes in
storage.

Maybe I can make a beard with cotton
balls.

I will go out and pick up everything we
need. We need a lot.

It'll be my Christmas present to the
class.

Okay.

Hey, everyone.

Thank you so much for all your hard
work.

I am so excited to see you up there on
the big stage of the community hall.

Whatever your department needs, write it
down on Gabby's list and I will take

care of everything.

Got this.

And kiss you too. Have a Merry
Christmas.

Thank you. Take care.

First one and last one, I'll miss you,
Roland.

I'd squeeze in one last practice.

And... Merry Christmas.

Thank you.

We're coming out on Saturdays for our
games.

Oh, Casey, you shouldn't have, but I'll
take it. Thank you.

Is there anyone else special on your
list this year?

Like?

Let's see, the way you and Olivia look
at each other.

I'm not a celebrity, and she's a movie
star.

She's also just a girl trying to find
her way in the world.

You're a great guy, Casey, and I know
teaching fulfills you, but I'm afraid

don't know what you're missing.

I stopped by the rehearsal room.

She wasn't there.

I'd check the diner if I were you.

Some things are worth fighting for.

And there's no better time than
Christmas for a little magic.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Hi there, Stephanie.

Hand over the camera.

No.

Thank you, Starla.

No one messes with our Olivia.

You got this?

Yeah, I do.

Oh, this is heavier than I expected.

It feels expensive.

Yeah, so expensive.

Can I have it back? I think I'll keep
it.

If I don't get a story to my editor by
Christmas, I will lose my job.

Then you should have chosen another line
of work.

I went to journalism school. I wanted to
tell stories of hope and humanity.

But this is what everyone wants.

To watch along as my life implodes.

It's not right. It's not.

But the only stories that sell more
magazines are ones of redemption, which

why I was trying to get some shots of
you and your new boyfriend.

He's not my boyfriend.

You can have the camera back.

If you turn over everything you have on
me, photos, journals, digital copies,

tell your editor that I didn't come
home, I wasn't here.

Please.

Come on, this is my life.

Okay.

Deal.

Deal.

Clarice Christensen boots aren't made
for Colorado winters, are they?

Tell me about it.

Thank you, Stephanie.

Oh, thank you for the backup, Starla.
I'll take the check, please.

Okay.

Don't take too much work home with you.

Casey!

Yeah, well, you know, big show tomorrow
night.

Hey, listen.

Since you're going to be busy for the
next couple nights, maybe you'd like to

out.

Tonight.

Tonight. Like... Like a real date.

Yeah, tonight.

Like a real date.

Yeah, I'd love to.

No, I have got this.

Technically, you got the last one. I
will pick you up at eight.

Eight? I'll be ready.

Uh,

no.

Oh, hi.

Sorry.

I thought it was your mom.

You know, she always knows when I'm
going to get her. Every year.

I don't know how she does it.

She holds the gift.

She looks at it.

She knows.

This year, my goal is to actually
surprise her.

Wow. Well, I mean, whatever it is, she's
going to love it.

Well, good, because I love her.

You really do.

Yeah.

Thank you for being there for her when I
couldn't.

And for making her so happy again.

I envy the kind of love that you two
have.

It'll happen for you too, Liv.

Thank you.

Anytime, kid.

Honey, close the door.

Yes, of course.

Smells good.

I hope Olivia likes it.

Ooh.

Sea doll?

Getting ready for a date with Mr.
Rollins.

He's so nice.

He really is. But I don't know what to
wear. I don't know if it's going to be

inside or outside.

Better to always be prepared.

Boots. Check.

What's up?

Bored, Mom.

Scarf? Glove?

Earmuffs?

Hmm.

Hang on.

I was going to wait for Christmas
morning, but this seems like the perfect

moment. Are you sure?

I love them. Thank you.

Merry Christmas Eve Eve.

Merry Christmas Eve Eve, Jamie.

Good luck on your date.

Thank you.

You look beautiful.

So I'm taking you to the newest
restaurant in town.

Opening night.

Ooh, I love a premiere.

Welcome to Casa Rola.

Oh, hi, darling.

Is the house that you grew up in?

It is.

I'm house -sitting while my parents are
away.

Casey, this place is... Christmassy? I
love it.

Dolly and I are spending Christmas this
year with my parents in Florida, so you

really get into decorating before it's
all white sand instead of white snow.

Oh, I didn't know that you were leaving.

Tomorrow night.

After the play.

Booked a Christmassy red -eye flight
months ago.

So I was thinking I would bump up
Christmas dinner a couple of nights.

Two hearts by the fire, one bottle of
wine. Three hours doesn't feel

like enough.

You made my favorite yams?

My mom walked me through it over the
phone.

I even added the mini marshmallows.

I don't know what to say.

To old friends and new traditions.

That turkey was perfect.

I'm glad you liked it.

Room for dessert?

Full disclosure, I sort of hired a
pastry chef.

North Pole pie?

Only my dad knew how to make it.

I talked to your mom.

Her and Janie were practicing to
surprise you.

I lucked out.

So how are you feeling about the show
tomorrow?

Um...

Pretty good thing. We just have to sync
up Jack's music with the finale.

Jack's music?

Yeah, he composed an original score.

He's really come out of his shell. It's
amazing to watch. And I was hoping that

you could help him with the soundboard
or maybe the light.

Of course.

I'd love to help out.

You know, I almost wish that I could
just stay on as drama teacher and just

leave Hollywood behind for a bit.

I don't imagine this is how you picture
your life right about now.

No. But there's no other place I'd
rather be.

Okay, I have a confession.

I said that my dad made us watch all
your games, but it was really just

I had the biggest crush on you.

Really?

I was crazy about you.

I would search for you in the stands.

My dad actually asked me to stop
attending so much.

That actually makes sense.

I would get so nervous, I couldn't even
shoot the ball.

Wow. I only knew back then.

Well, I mean, you know now, and here we
are.

I know peppermint chocolate's kind of
your thing.

That was a lovely evening and an amazing
meal.

Thank you for sharing it with me.

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

Liv!

Ryan, what are you doing here?

I miss you.

Oh, good.

I know.

I deserve to feel like this.

Get my flowers?

Yes, but why are you here?

I made a mistake.

I thought Laura was the answer.

Laura, my manager.

I know, I know, I'm sorry. I messed up.

I should have known no one compares to
Olivia O 'Hara.

What if I wasn't her?

What do you mean?

What if I wasn't Olivia O 'Hara?

Movie star, no studio deal, no movie
franchise. What if I was just Liv, a

from Valley Hill?

What is your single chart?

Didn't. But that's not why I'm here.

Okay, but... Ryan, I'm not... I am not
going back to L .A. with you.

I am home for Christmas.

Lydia, I love you.

I want us back.

I want you back.

I'll do whatever it takes.

We had a deal.

We have a deal. We still have a deal.

There are photos on every magazine, on
every website.

You lied to me.

Olivia, it wasn't me.

What? I called my editor, just like you
said. I told her you weren't in town. I

fly out tonight.

Olivia, I didn't write the story.

Okay, then who wrote the story,
Stephanie?

Ryan Wrangler.

Ryan has a deal with the network media.

He arranged for them to follow him to
Valley Hill, and he staged the photo op.

Wait, last night I was... staged?

I don't know what he said for you, but
he knew there were cameras taking your

picture because he paid them to be
there.

I... I can't even... I'm so sorry,
Olivia.

Uh, I think I'm just gonna stay here
tonight.

I have to... I need to lay down.

Oh, good girl. Thank you.

This packing's gonna have to wait.

Oh, thank you for coming.

I opened the theater door, but the
students need supervision.

No problem.

I'll do my best to help them with the
run -through.

She's probably just running behind movie
stars. You know, they're always late.

She'll be here.

Don't hang up. Guess what?

We're trending.

I don't care if we're trending, Ryan.

Ryan and Lydia, back together for
Christmas.

We can release a joint statement.

Let's give the people what they want.

It's not what I want.

It's not?

You're a great musician, Ryan.

But you want the whole world to love
you. I just want to be with the one who

just wants me.

The real me.

So we're not getting back together?

Never.

I really hope you find what you're
looking for.

Goodbye, Ryan.

Room service.

Hi. Eggnog, fruitcake, and gingerbread
man.

Where would you like it? Um, you can
just, you can leave it here. Thank you.

Can you just sign here? Yeah.

I just

wanted to say thank you.

My kid brother, he's been having a hard
time since her dad passed.

And, well, it's just been nice seeing
him enjoying something again.

You're Jack's older brother.

That thing that you told Jack, that we
can't sit in the back row of life, we

have to keep moving forward, it made an
impact.

You've made a real impact.

Oh, I mean, I don't know. You have.

Being there, even showing up, it
inspired them to show up for themselves.

I'll see you at the show.

There you are. I was looking for you.

Every year I put it up for sale.

And every year I just can't bear to see
it go.

The sound of a revving engine still
brings me back to Saturday mornings as a

kid.

When I left, it wasn't my plan

to never come home for Christmas.

Oh, I know, honey.

broken faucet and everything was pouring
out of me i didn't know how to manage

it just turned it off and i had to let
you go but you were always close to

my heart and if you hadn't left then you
would never have become the wonderful

woman that you are today and i don't
love you because you're a movie

star i love you because you're my
daughter

I love you too, Mom.

You know, I have watched you in awe for
years.

Your determination, your confidence,
your strength.

But nothing has made me more proud than
the Olivia that has emerged over the

course of you putting together this
play.

Well, I failed on everyone.

You know, they needed me to be there and
I just ran away again.

Casey took the student through the run
-through, but I still don't have time to

get all the costumes that we need.

I have a ton of decorations.

And finding costumes shouldn't be too
difficult.

Now, I'm sure that Casey is covering for
you, but we should hurry.

Oh, Casey.

Are you worried about the front page?

Is it true?

Is Raylivia back on?

No.

But how do I explain this?

I'm all out of places to run to.

Then stop running, honey.

You tell him what is true.

Then if the world is making up stories
about you, then you go out there and you

show them who you really are.

Okay?

Olivia, I think I figured out a way that
you can keep your job.

Redemption. It's the best -selling story
you can get.

Are you giving me an exclusive?

A front -row exclusive.

Valley Hill Community Hall, 6 p .m.
You'll get your story.

And what do you get?

My life back.

The show will start in 10 minutes.

Ladies and gentlemen, the show will
begin in 10 minutes. The show's just

to start. Take your seat.

Enjoy the show.

It's a full house.

I'm glad you made it.

Your students are going to be thrilled
to see you.

Casey, I... You don't have to explain
yourself.

If you're happy, I'm happy.

But it's not true.

I saw the paper, Liv.

And you're telling me that didn't
happen?

Okay, it's true, but it wasn't real.

Brian ambushed me, and that picture was
just a publicity stunt to sell his

album.

He staged the whole thing. It is over
with him.

But this... I mean, this is real.

Your dad would be so proud of you.

Thank you, Mom.

Hey, you've got to cast a pep talk.

I'll see you after the show.

Break a leg.

The show must... I don't have a Santa
hat.

As they say in the biz. I can't remember
my line.

Has anyone seen a Santa hat?

The show must go on.

No hat.

No line.

No director.

No problem.

The show must go on.

She's right.

Hey, guys.

How you feeling? Good?

Okay, you know what? Sometimes on stage
and in life, you get set back with

unexpected challenges.

Life doesn't have a dress rehearsal.

You go out and you give it everything
you've got.

You're moving forward, right, Jack?

Chris, you stand a hat?

Brittany, you've got this.

Trust yourself.

It is okay to be nervous. Dig deep and
let it fuel you.

These are the moments that define you as
artists.

And your acts of courage will inspire
others in theirs.

You've all worked so hard, and I'm
already so proud.

All the world's a stage, and tonight,
the stage is yours.

I'll be watching from the wings.

Now, let's get your costumes on.

It was the night before Christmas, but
didn't feel near it.

Why can't I hear it?

One little girl had lost her Christmas
spirit.

No mistletoe?

No big red bow?

If I don't find Christmas... There won't
be a show.

Maybe it's closer than Hillside or
Brook.

It isn't outside you. Just trust us.
Please look.

Hold on.

I'm getting something.

It's very... It's close. I think my
journey has come to an end.

The spirit is here in the warmth of a
friend.

Our friend hadn't misplaced or forgotten
the source.

It was right there inside her.

Friends, family.

Of course.

Take the hands on your left and the
hands on your right.

That spirit you're holding, that's
Christmas. Good night.

I'd like to welcome to the stage our
director who led us with passion,

inspiration, and overall unwavering
dedication.

Eagle Heights very own, Olivia O 'Hara.

It was such an honor working with these
courageous students.

Being back home for Christmas and
reconnecting with my roots.

It means more to me than you can
imagine.

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Bravo.

You did it. I think I like this
directing thing.

Hands down, the best Christmas Eve play
ever.

Oh, well, thanks to you.

Cafe party at the diner.

I mean, if you're not busy, then you're
invited to, Mr. Rollins.

Well, usually I can't turn down an
invitation to the diner, but I've got a

flight to catch.

Right, of course.

What is this?

You're incredible, Olivia Hara.

Merry Christmas.

Oh, thank you.

Live. Beautiful.

Your mother cried.

Wow.

You really pulled it off, sweetheart.
Fantastic.

Thank you for coming.

We'll warm up the car.

And here's a big one for... Oh, this one
is from me.

Is

this?

The original Captain Claus girl jacket I
wore in all three films.

I love it. Thank you so much.

Oh, you know, I'll get it.

I changed my flight.

I don't want to spend another day, let
alone Christmas, without you.

Christmas is the time to be with the one
you love.

So here I am, hoping that you feel the
same way about me too.

Being back home made me believe in
myself again, but...

Being with you made me believe in love.

If life is anything like the movies,
then you're my happy ending.

So I guess this would be the part
where...

Would you like to come in and meet your
fans?

I would love to This feels like the
merriest Christmas ever It does now

Let's take a walk
