[Toni] Bri, come over here
and help me finish these.

Do these mugs look uneven?

They feel uneven.

They're not as uneven
as they're gonna be

if I break them all
because you won't get over here

and help me finish these.

Come on, it's due by 4:00.

So bossy.

You trying to be manager
or something?

[laughing]

Don't curse me.

Oh...

Did you read these?

No, I never read them.

Just put them in the box
so they can be delivered

like a robot.

Mm, you gotta hear this one.

Bri...

"Mr. and Mrs.

Charleston David Ashford III

invite you to join us

for a night
of Christmas canapés,

caroling, and conversation."

Oh, boy.

Ooh, at least they've got
St. Jack-Jean

catering the party.

-"The" St. Jack-Jean?
-Yup.

Oh, I bet you
there's gonna be great gifts.

I love swag.

It'll be good swag, too.

Trips, electronics, jewelry,

and not just the plated stuff.

Must be nice.

Did you go to
a lot of these fancy parties

when you were
at Haltward Law?

Enough to know
they're all the same.

[Bri chuckles]

Hello, Gus.

Either of you got
a driver's license?

Does it look like
we ride the bus?

Don't answer that.

What's up, Gus?

Delivery guy
just called in sick,

and I promised the Ashfords

I'd get them these last-minute
invitations out today.

I'll go.

You can drive a van?

Absolutely, Gus.

However,

for safety reasons--

you know,

a woman alone in the city--

it's probably best
you send us both.

-Yeah.
-Right?

Okay, okay, calm down.

Compo Beach
in Westport, Connecticut

is hardly the big city.

Fine,

but no diversions in my van.

I know how you two are.

On it.

She can drive a van, right?

Oh, Bri? Oh, yeah.

She can drive anything.

Uh!

-I got it.
-Uh-huh.

At least the bread delivery
truck I drove

was automatic.

Who doesn't have
automatic anymore?

-Gus.
-Gus.

Wait, when did you drive
a bread-delivery truck?

Oh, when you were
in law school.

Oh.
Oh! Brebner's Bread and Buns.

How could I forget?

You were studying.

That I would like to forget.

Oh!

That's a new one.

Are they ever really new?

Oh, I like them.

They make me laugh.

You didn't grow up getting
teased for them.

No, I defended you.

Yes, you did.

Okay, we're going into traffic.

Yeah. Okay...

Oh. [groaning nervously]

[***]

-Here we go.
-Oh, there we are.

-Ooh!
-Great.

Looks like
they're having a party.

Great, nice, okay, we made it.

And... stop.

So, did Gus say
where to put the invitations?

I think we're supposed to
go around back.

We're not the help.

We're not even the help.

We're delivering "to" the help.

Well, I'm not gonna let
these fancy-pants people win,

I'm going through the front.

Bri...

-I'm going through the front!
-Bri...

Bri! Bri!

Come on!

Bri!

[bustle of conversation]

[whispering] Bri!

-Mm!
-[whispering] Bri!

Don't mind if I do.
[chuckling]

-We've gotta get out of here.
-Shh!

Oh, gosh, if this is just
the dinner party,

imagine what the Christmas party
will be like.

Okay, but--

[camera snapping]

Oh...

I'm so sorry, excuse me.

Did Gus send you?

Oh, yes. Hi.

I'm Toni.

I'm Anita.

Ashford house manager.

Oh, did you want to look
at the invitations?

I would.

They're in the foyer.

Thank you.

[laughing]

[man] Excuse me.

Oh!

Oh, I'm so sorry.

No problem.
[patting arm]

-Bye.
-[chuckling]

[chuckling airily]
Oh, yeah, Formula One

is far better
from the pit, trust.

...and then these
are for the family.

[laughing]

Oh, excuse me, boys.

Ah, there you are!

Oh, yes. Oh--

-We should go.
-Terribly sorry, gotta go.

So many deliveries.

-Thank you!
-Thank you so much.

What a rush.

-That was fun, right?
-It was kinda fun.

Oh, it's nice to be looked at,
not looked past.

Wait, what did you say
to those guys?

You had them
eating out of your hand.

That I'm a race-car driver.

Formula One, obviously.

Good thing they didn't see you
drive the van.

[***]

Toni!

Hey, Mom.

He'll be right with you.

-Hey.
-Hi.

I saw you two days ago.
[chuckling]

I will always be excited
to see my baby girl.

He's hangry.

Oh, look.

[Lou] No!

No, that is not good enough.

[whispering] Hi!

Abel Keselowski's
got four kids,

and now,

because of your client's
defective seatbelt,

he's never going to be able
to hold those children

in both his arms ever again.

Do you know what it's like

to change a diaper
with one arm? Huh?

Or to hang a baby's first
Christmas ornament on the tree?

No, I didn't think so.

Look, call me back

when you got a better offer.

Oh, and tell Marla
thank you for the gingerbread.

Hey, pumpkin.

What brings you by?

Pastrami on rye.
Two pickles.

This could be
my last pastrami from Olie's.

What? Are you okay?

Oh, my blood pressure
didn't come back too good.

It's this case.

What, someone lost their arm?

Oh, no,

broken elbow,

but those things
never heal right.

But, you know, Tone?

This could be my white whale.

This could be the one

that finally puts me
in the big time.

-Mm...
-No, no, come on, I know,

but this one's different.

This could be
a huge class-action suit.

It's Skyline Motors,

and they practically admitted
that they knew

that their seatbelts
were defective.

I think there could be a--

a-a really big recall coming

soon,

maybe.

Hmm, have you filed?

Oh.

[groaning in delight] Oh...

It's the sauerkraut.

It never disappoints.

Mm!

Oh, thanks. [chuckling]

A-and, no,

not yet.

I'm gathering
as many plaintiffs as I can,

and I'm hoping to find
the evidence

that'll really nail 'em,

but soon, pumpkin, soon.

You know, this could've been
a great father-daughter case.

Dad, can we just
get through one meal

without you bringing it up?

But you're so much better
at the law than me!

I...

Well, you could have been.

I'm just taking a pause.

Yeah?

Well, it's been quite a pause,

and what, now you work
at a letter shop?

Invitations.

We print invitations.

Toni, you're a lawyer.

I was a law student
who graduated.

I'm not a lawyer.

Okay, pumpkin.

Thank you.

Did you see that Jets game?

[both groaning] Ugh!

[***]

You free to work
Christmas Eve?

You don't have any plans,
right?

I have plans.

You know I spend Christmas Eve
with Toni and her family.

So, no plans of your own then?

Well, those are technically
plans of my own, Gus.

Okay, fine,
I'll work until 5:00.

What's that?

Oh, one of, uh, Ashford's
Christmas invites fell out.

Good thing we make
a couple extra in each batch.

Add it to the shred stack.

So, Skyline Motors.

What's the report from legal?

Last four quarters check out.

Solid profits
and no pending litigation.

I'm expecting their draft
in a couple days.

Should have the review
by next week.

That's great,

'cause
I'd like to have this deal

all but closed by Christmas.

And the board will be happy
to have it early as well.

Which helps
keep the lights on.

Amen to that.

[Sebastian] Stalker?

Excuse me.

Stalker's Cafe.

For lunch?

Oh. [exhaling]

Uh, yes, that would be great.

I will be right there.

[laughing]

[***]

Where are we going tonight?

St. Moritz.

We're at après-ski

having just finished
killer runs.

I'm on break
from Doctors Without Borders,

and you're preparing
to go to the space station

early next year.

-Nice.
-Yeah.

I know, we gotta decorate it.

It looks sad.

I feel like
we just took it down.

Ten months ago.

[sighing]

Time is flying by.

What?

[sighing]

What are we doing
with our life, Bri?

We are having fondue
at the Swiss chalet.

Don't you like
my themed dinners?

Of course, I always have.

Me too.

My mom started
these themed dinners,

and I think the first one
we did

was Christmas at the North Pole.

I was like, seven, maybe.

Everything was red and white,

and she did such an amazing job.

We had no money,
she had to get creative,

and that was
when the tradition was born.

Voilà.

Hey, what's going on?

[sighing]
It's just my dad, you know?

Same old, same old.

I know things
have to change, Bri.

I know.

I just don't know how.

I don't even know
who I want to be anymore.

Why do you have to pick
one answer?

You're being cryptic.

That's always dangerous.

What's that?

Our new lives.

Well, at least one,

on Friday.

We're not invited to that.

Well, no, on the contrary,

what are we doing
to change our situation?

Nothing.

Maybe a little distraction
will make us feel better.

Gosh, a distraction from life
does sound nice.

No, we'll get in trouble.

Nothing we can't handle,

my little
Christmas-crashing confidante.

I'm just saying,

put on a dress.

[groaning]

[***]

-Oh!
-Okay?

Mm... nope.

Uh, okay, we're here--

Nope.
No, I don't wanna do it.

[laughing]

We're gonna get caught.

-We're not gonna get caught--
-We might get caught.

No, this is a local
Christmas party,

it's not the Met Gala.

Repeat after me.

Fun, food, dancing,
distraction.

"Fun, food,
dancing, distraction."

Fun, food, dancing...

Yes. Oh!

Yes, um...

Yup, please hold.

[laughing]

Uh, staying or leaving?

We're staying.

Right, Annie?

Yeah.

[chuckling]

Oh, we are so late.

Kiki from Soul-Cycle
is never gonna forgive us.

Well, better not
keep Kiki waiting.

Right.

Let's get this over with.

[***]

Oh, there's Kiki!

Ah, Kiki.

-Kiki!
-[laughing]

Oh... [chuckling nervously]

Oh, hello, and welcome.

So glad you could make it.

I'm Deborah Van Clout,

chairwoman
of the Westport Garden Society.

Welcome to my home.

It's beautiful.

Becky Hinkenbottom,
financial analyst,

and this is my cousin,

Annie Fleurnernak.

Hello.

Nice to meet you both.

Annie, are you in finance, too?

-Uh, I'm--
-Annie is a doula.

I am a doula.

Oh, what an honorable
profession.

Isn't it?

Do you have a bar here?

Oh.

Excuse me.

[chuckling awkwardly]

Um, no pressure,

but feel free to put
your generous holiday donation

into the box

as soon as you get a chance.

Absolutely, Deborah.

No one more generous
than we are.

[quietly] She has old money.

On her mother's side.

[***]

Here.

That's going to take forever.

How do I know
I can trust that?

[chuckling]

Excuse me.

Thank you.

Works?

Works.

[clinking glasses]

So why do they have a cash bar

if they're giving away
free champagne?

Well, because
they're squeezing every penny,

and the champagne company's
a sponsor.

It's a good thing
they're not sponsored

by a fertilizer company.

[laughing]

I'm Justin Harrison.

Weren't you at the Ashford's
cocktail party last week?

Maybe, maybe...

There's just so many parties
this time of the year.

That's true.

And you are?

Annie! I saw some caviar
going around.

She loves caviar.

I don't love caviar.

Nobody likes caviar... Annie.

Becky Hinkenbottom.

Justin Harrison.

Nice name.
That's a nice name.

-Such a nice name.
-Thank you.

I had nothing to do with it.

Well, props to your parents.

I'll let them know.

I should check out
this caviar,

make sure I still don't like it.

Excuse me.

Goodbye.

Why'd you do that?

You two were hitting it off.

Yeah, but then what?

I'm lying.

I mean, who even am I?

What's my name?
Annie.

Remember, it's "fun, food,
dancing, and distractions."

Not romance.

I mean, we didn't shake
on that part.

That's true.

Does that mean
you're all in on this?

Lead on, Becky.

All righty, Annie.

[***]

Okay, do it with me.

[dramatic exhaling] Ah! Hoo!

Really go back, yeah, yeah,

and don't be afraid to scream,

'cause it's gonna really hurt.

Five fingers, right?

We're gonna spread those out
like yoga on a mat.

You wanna make it like this,

almost like
you're diving into something...

* It's a holiday for two

* As long as I'm with you

* I don't care what we do

Like, you want
a lion's breath, try it.

* A cozy fire
snowflakes under the moon... *

So we just offer,
and then we offer.

Oh, my god, I see kicking.

It's kicking!

[squealing]

* When you're around
it's Christmas *

* The whole year through

* Oh, I don't want
nothin' melancholy... *

Don't mind if I do.

* Just a little eggnog
and holly... *

Deb!

Just a little something
for the garden society.

-Okay, let's go.
-Whoo!

I'll get that.

Thanks again!

Whoa.

Hi.

Hey.

Oh, thank you.

Get everything you wanted?

I hear they put in the sterling
silver pine-scented candles

in the bag.

The large ones.

Smells like... Christmas.

We need to have
new identities.

I wanna be a pilot next.

Wait, what did you put

in that donation envelope
anyway?

Because I know
it wasn't a check.

Better than a check,
my little elf. Advice.

Whoever set up the room
had it all wrong.

The food needs to be flowing
from the bar.

That's why everyone
was all bunched up,

and why did they have
black cocktail napkins?

No one can write
on black cocktail napkins.

To maybe write
their phone number on it

and hand it to a cute valet guy
with a Rudolph nose?

I mean, just for instance.

I don't know
what you're talking about,

but that is a good example.

As is Justin Harrison.

I'll never see him again.

You would have if you stayed.

As what, Annie the doula?

It's not possible.

[scoffing] Ugh.

Ah-ah-ah-ah.

That's too much, it's clumpy.

Yes, Christmas tree police.

You know how I get
about the details.

So very, very much.

Which is why

we need to get
our story straight before we go.

We're not actually thinking
of doing that again, are we?

Why not?

It's harmless.

We get to have
an unforgettable Christmas.

Here.

Is that the shred stack?

I swiped the shred stack.

Does Gus know
you swiped the shred stack?

No, and he never will,

because we're gonna shred
the shred stack

after we're done
using these invites.

You're crazy.

This is a terrible idea.

All my good ones
usually are.

No, not gonna do it.

No.

Come on, Tone.

We're gonna crash Christmas.

[***]

Whoo!

[all cheering] Happy Chanukah!

Happy Chanukah!

[***]

To the queen!

The king-- To the king!

Merry Christmas!

[all cheering]

[***]

NASA?

What do you do there?

That's classified.

[whispering] Aliens?

Hannah Wilstein,

and this is my sister, Yaffa.

Eli's cousin
on Benjamin's side.

Gigi Combs, pet therapist,

and this is my adopted cousin,
Willow.

[whispering]
She sees dead people.

Uh... [chuckling nervously]

[***]

I never knew
that you could have a career

as a ski instructor,

but once I was
in the Olympics...

Oly-Olympics?

Wow!

[***]

Lola Vandershoozen,
chocolatier!

Tess Perambaler, park ranger!

Imports, exports.

Tchotchkes.

Tchotchkes...

-Tchotchkes!
-[laughing]

[***]

You know, I actually
played football in junior high.

Pretty big deal.

[whispering] They got me, too.

[***]

Your grandmother's
famous mincemeat pie recipe

is hidden in the...

in the...

Oh, lost it.

[***]

[laughing]

It's unnerving
how easy it's getting to lie.

Right? Oh, and I just loved
the Olympic wrinkle,

that was good.

No, I really,

I have always wanted
to go skiing.

Maybe I will one day.

[laughing]

Merry Christmas!

-Merry Christmas!
-Happy Holidays!

[laughing and giggling]

Careful, careful...

You got it.
Watch the wreath!

Whoa. You okay? Whoa!

Hang on.

Hang on, let me get the door.

Hang on.

D'oh! Come on.

Come on,
you gotta lift your end.

I'm lifting.

Are you using your knees?

I'm using my knees!

Okay. Whoa!

Jeez...

I feel like Santa's
always staring at me in here.

I can't believe Mom
still has this creepy thing.

I don't know.

She loves him.

Objection. Hearsay.

Enough, you two!

You are supposed to be
having fun.

Yeah, it's a barrel of laughs.

Have a cookie.

Ooh, thank you.

What's Santa's injury
this year, Mom?

A broken leg.

Oh...

[chuckling]

I'm making a meatloaf
for dinner tonight.

I can't stay that long.

I have a thing with Bri.

You've been doing a lot
of things with Bri lately.

It's December.

'Tis the season.

You know, you haven't done
this many things

since you were in school
networking.

[gasps] Are you networking?

No, Dad, it's not like that.

Oh.

Well then,
what is it like, Antonia?

'Cause your mother and I,
we've been very patient,

giving you your space

ever since
you gave the bar exam

the old Irish goodbye.

Lou...

Well, give us an explanation.

Fine.

I had a panic attack, Dad.

Is that what you wanna hear?

A panic atta--?

-What?
-Yes!

I was on day one of the exam.

I was killing it,
I knew I was gonna pass,

and then....

and then I just saw
my whole life

flash before my eyes.

Except it wasn't my life,

it was yours, it was your life.

It was the busses, the benches,
the commercials.

And what's wrong with that?

'Cause people
make fun of them, Dad!

They're a joke!

You think I'm a joke?

No, I didn't say that.

You kinda did.

But I didn't mean...

I messed up.

Just be better next time,

and don't judge
someone else's shoes

until you've walked around
in 'em,

or whatever that saying is.

He's a good man, Antonia.

Yeah, I know he is.

Have fun at your thing
tonight, okay?

Okay.

Thanks, Mom.

[***]

Manufacturing
crash-test dummies

is a lot more complicated
than you'd imagine.

-Really?
-Totally!

It's a lot of responsibility.

I do not take it lightly.
Right?

[clearing throat] Yes.

Uh, very responsible.

And what is your name?

Antonia!

Oh... Oh, Latisha!

Oh, my gosh!

[gasping]

-Wow. Wow!
-[Latisha laughing]

Hi! What are you doing here?

Well, I wanted to try
to get in one Christmas party

before...

hello?

Yeah!

And this is my boss's club.

Oh...

Well, well, well.

If it isn't
the mysterious Annie.

Justin Harrison

is your boss?

You two know each other?

We met at a--
at another Christmas party.

Is Annie your doula?

How did you know
about the doula?

I may have asked about you
after you left.

Deborah,

she told me you're a doula.

Antonia Andretti
is not a doula.

She graduated near top
of our class at law school.

You're a lawyer?

-Mm...
-[Bri chuckling nervously]

It's a long story.

-Um...
-Long, funny story.

It's funny.

She tells people all the time
she's a doula

to avoid giving out
free legal advice.

That's so true. [laughing]

Smart. I was just
talking with someone

about our upcoming deal
with Skyline Motors,

and the next thing I know,

he's peppering me with questions
about pre-nups.

What do I know about pre-nups?

I do mergers and acquisitions.

Did you--Did you did you say
Skyline Motors?

My company's
about to acquire it.

What about the seatbelts?

What about
the seatbelts?

Uh...

[Latisha] Spill.

You know something.

I mean, uh,

I may have heard about

a potential class action coming

about the seatbelts,

that they could be defective.

Have you heard anything
about this?

Not a word.

You wouldn't have

because they haven't filed yet.

You can plan for it
if you want to go forward,

just make sure
that the deal documents

have a representation,

that the seller
has no knowledge

of pending or potential
material litigation now,

or in the aggregate--

--that could result
in material impact

in the overall
business revenue--

--which could result
in the seller

including significant cost.

Exactly.

[laughing]
[wincing] Ah!

Oh, sorry to break up
this riveting conversation

about seatbelts and aggregates,

but it looks like
she's going into labor?

Oh, code purple.
[gasping]

Text my husband
and tell him "code purple".

Text husband,
"code purple".

[Latisha wincing] Ah...

I'm sure he's by the shrimp.

-Okay, whoa, careful there!
-Whoa, whoa, easy.

Phew! Okay...

Okay, here we go.

Oh, you again.

[gasping] Rudolph.

-Uh, Vinny.
-Ah!

She's in labor.

Oh. O-Oh!

Uh, uh, ticket.

-Ticket!
-Ticket!

Uh, ticket.

Nope, this way.

Ooh, here.

-Hi.
-Hi!

You got this.

Love Bean!

Aw...

How you doing?

I'm okay, Pookie.

Oh, I'm sorry, Justin.

Looks like
I'm gonna miss the retreat.

This is far more important.

Skyline Motors, though--
the deal.

Yeah, we'll figure it out,
somehow.

Antonia, can you take over?

I'm sorry, what?

What are you doing
this weekend?

N-Nothing.

Take Antonia to the retreat.

She's far better
at this kind of deal than I am.

Don't ever quote me on that.

Oh, no, I-I don't think
I-I should--

Did you or did you not
intern at Holland & Gatz,

one of the biggest Mergers
and Acquisitions firms,

right next to me?

Well, yes, that's true.

Could you come to our retreat?

You could go to his retreat.

[stammering]

Uh... I'm not licensed
in Connecticut.

You could act as a consultant.

Tisha, we need to get going.

Okay.

Please, Toni,
you'd be doing me a solid.

How can you say no
to a woman in labor?

We'd obviously compensate you
for your legal services.

No. No, no, no, no, no, no.

-[wincing] Ooh...!
-Come on.

The retreat's a lot of fun.

We're going to my lodge
in Vermont.

We have Christmas games, skiing.

St. Jack-Jean's our chef.

You should go.

We were gonna do something,
remember?

-She can come along.
-I can come along!

I'll have my assistant,
Sebastian,

send you all the details,

and I've hired Wanna Go
for everything travel related.

-You'll be there?
-I'll be there.

-Ah!
-Okay, okay.

I'll-- We'll be there.

[clapping] She'll be there.

Thank you.

[Justin] Drive safe.

[muttering] I'll be there...

Vermont, huh?

I'm not going.

[Bri] You're going.

What do you think of this one?

Hmm...

I'm still not going.

I think I like
the other one better.

But you owe me!

Owe you?

Owe you for what?

You're the one
who got me into this big mess!

He actually thinks I'm a lawyer!

[Bri] Well, we made up
other lives this whole time.

For fun, Bri.

This is real life.

I could get into
serious trouble

for practicing law
without a license,

and I absolutely
cannot get compensated

for legal advice
that I'm not allowed to give.

It's illegal!

[sighing]

Oh, yeah, that.

Yeah, that.

Well, at least you're going
as a consultant.

Because he thinks
I'm a lawyer.

You almost were.

Well, I will be sure to tell

the Connecticut
Bar Association that

as they're blackballing me.

"Oh, so sorry that
I pretended to be a lawyer,

but my best friend and I

were busy
crashing Christmas parties--"

under fake identities,

which I also
shouldn't have done--

"...things
just sort of happened,

but it's totally fine,

because I would
have passed the bar

had I not completely panicked."

You're forgetting
one big thing.

-What?
-You like Justin.

Don't deny it.

Like I could.

[giggling]

And he knows your real name--
Antonia, okay,

and that you're
in the lawyer arena-ish.

So, like,
you really didn't even lie.

I'm kind of lying, Bri.

Eh...

Besides,

you just wanna go
so you can see Rudolph.

Yeah, I do,

and get a free vacation.

I've never been
on a real vacation,

at least not like this.

Come on, Tone.

One last big distraction.

Fine,

but I am going to tell him
that I'm not an actual lawyer.

Yeah, no, you do you,

and I'm gonna pack
all your outfits,

because this woolly-mammoth look

ain't it.

Just sayin'.

[***]

But make sure we send flowers
and a gift to Latisha.

Already done.

Did you want me to book you
a flight to your sister's

for Christmas?

That would be a negative.

Um...

Look, I love my family,

but, uh, sometimes,

being the single brother
to three married sisters

is a lot.

Besides, I want to figure out
this Skyline deal

by Christmas.

I know Toni and Latisha said

we can plan
for potential litigation,

but should we?

And how much are we talking?

You're sure you don't want me
running due diligence

on Ms. Andretti?

No, she's only
a consulting attorney.

Plus, I trust Latisha,

and Latisha trusts her.

Don't you?

Fully.

Besides, Antonia knew

about the upcoming
class-action lawsuit,

which you found to have merit.

It hasn't been
completely confirmed,

but I did hear
there was something brewing.

Sebastian, you're protective,

which I appreciate,

but let's just see

what Ms. Andretti
can come up with,

and, in the meantime, relax.

Try and have some fun.

But I am gonna need
those numbers.

Hey,

I'm glad you all
could make it...

[***]

Welcome to Vermont.

Wow, what a ride.

I feel like
I'm on top of the mountain.

Oh!

Why did the top of the mountain
have to be so windy?

Are you okay?

Uh, here, Ms. Andretti.

Uh, this one has ginger.

It'll help you settle.

Thanks.
My friends call me Toni.

And, uh...

one for you.

-Wow--
-Hello!

Excuse me. Welcome.

I'm thrilled you both
could make it.

[clearing throat]

Are you feeling all right?

I just got a little carsick.

Oh, I hear you. That last turn?

It gets me every time,

and the altitude doesn't help,

but come on,
let's get you inside.

Let's get you warm.

I want to show you around.

Uh, Vinny, do you mind--

Yeah, I'll make sure

their luggage
gets to their room.

Great, thank you, sir.

As I said,

we have the whole place
to ourselves.

Uh, the dining room,

it'll be serving all day.

Uh, this is
my personal favorite,

the hot chocolate station.

It's a little embarrassing

how much I've been
looking forward to that.

Did St. Jack-Jean do that one?

I believe so,

but my assistant, Sebastian,

he's in charge of
most of the setup details.

Have you heard from Latisha?

Yes, I have,

and she sent me this.

Aww...

Ooh!

What did they name him?

Calvin.

You seem to have a thing
about names, don't you?

Well, they're the first thing
you learn about someone.

They can be really revealing.

That's funny,

because your itinerary

has you listed as Bri,

but you introduced yourself
to me as Becky.

Did I?

-Yeah, you did.
-Huh.

Becky is the--

Becky's the nickname
that I gave her, the-- uh--

-so long ago.
-So long ago.

-It's really stuck.
-Yeah.

Like Annie has for you.

That's right, yeah.

Annie, or Toni,

Antonia when her parents
are mad at her, whatever.

[giggling]

You've known each other
a while then, I'm guessing.

Since first day
of first grade.

When Logan Styler
put glue in her hair,

and I punched him in the nose.

It-It resulted in
a parent-teacher conference.

And a lifelong friendship
was born.

-Right.
-You guys hang out,

I'm gonna--
Just keep at it.

-Okay.
-Sure.

I'm glad that you came.

I know the invitation
was a little unorthodox.

That's one way to put it.

Yeah,

but maybe it was fate.

I mean, what are the odds

that at the exact moment

I lose my legal counsel,

I find an Ivy League lawyer

who can step in
and save the day.

No pressure.

Oh, none at all.
[chuckling awkwardly]

-Would you excuse me?
-Mm-hmm.

Make yourself at home.

[wincing quietly] Oh...

Enjoy and be safe.

Hey.

Ms. Cassidy.

Bri.

Oh, not, uh,
Becky from SoulCycle?

No, that was just, like,
a silly thing

that my friend and I
were doing that day.

[laughing] All right.

Well, you don't owe me
an explanation.

You know, I'm just glad

whichever version of you
is here now.

-[alert chimes]
-Oh.

Ah, duty calls.

Will I see you later?

You'll see me all weekend.

Lucky me.

Love the pants.

Oh.

It's just-- Yeah.

That's fine.

[***]

So, did you tell Justin?

No, I chickened out.

He was looking at me so...

so...

Hot?

Trusting.

He was talking about s'mores,

and he had this adorable,
boyish air about him, and...

You got it bad.

Says the girl
who practically sprinted

across the lobby to Vinny.

No, I did not sprint.

I walked in as elegant
a fashion as one would

in faux-leather ski pants.

[knocking on door]

Oh.

Hi!

I don't believe
we've formally met.

I'm Sebastian Burke,
Justin's assistant.

Hi, I'm Toni.

Um, and-- and--
and that's Bri.

I'm glad to see
you're all settling in.

Would you like some?

These have rum in it.

No.

Thank you.

I've come to drop off the files

for the Skyline Motors
acquisition,

as well as their most recent
draft of the contract.

Wonderful.

I will-
I will get right into this.

And here is
this weekend's itinerary.

Justin said the both of you

are more than welcome
to participate

in all the activities.

-Hmm.
-Sweet.

Thank you, Sebastian.

Don't thank me.

Thank Justin,

and Latisha.

Who you went
to university with?

Haltward Law.

Impressive.

Well, if you need anything,
don't hesitate to ask.

Welcome to
Harrison Economic Ventures,

at least
for the next three days.

And that is a...?

I'm making a snowperson.

That's a great foundation.

I think I'll make a reindeer.

[Toni, gently] Thanks.

[Justin] That's nice progress.

[Toni chuckling]
I'm still doing a circle.

[Justin]
It's a great circle.

-And there you go.
-Thank you.

Something wrong
with your hot chocolate?

Hmm.

You spit it back into the cup.

Uh, I know,
it has nothing to do with you.

Everything to do
with the chocolate?

You really wanna know?

I really do.

Okay, you asked for it.

Uh, you used
filtered chocolate--

American--

and filtered chocolate

just tends to be
a little thinner,

more bitter.

I think if you switch
to Swiss dark,

it would just really mix better
with the cream.

That's interesting.

Yeah.

Anything else?

Well, I mean,
we're in Vermont.

Wouldn't it be nice to pull in
some, like, local ingredients?

Maybe a little maple syrup,

or caramel cream
from a local farm,

or you could even do, like,
an orange zest with chili.

Wouldn't that be fun?

Also--

Oh, there's more?

Oh, yeah, um, I just think

if you moved the cart
over there,

the line of customers
would be off the main path.

That way, the guests aren't,
you know,

crossing through them.

Are you an event planner,
or...?

No, no.

I'm just a girl
with, like, a lot of ideas.

Hmm.

Now, the tree is perfect.

All it needed
was an avant-garde snowman.

What? This is
a regular snowman.

I-I might have messed up
a little bit.

Faces are overrated
on snow people.

Hey! [chuckling]

Sebastian came by

and dropped
the Skyline Motor files off

last night.

-Great.
-Yeah.

You find anything interesting?

Uh, I'm still reviewing.

Let me know when you're ready
to go over it,

but, for now, I just...

I kinda want to have some fun.

I'm surprisingly okay
with that.

[Vinny] There you are.

Here I am.

Um, could I interest you
in seeing the best

and weirdest
Christmas puppet show

in the whole world?

The whole world?

Right, Tiny Tim in town
at North Pole Village.

Life-changing.

[laughing]

I don't know whether
to report you or marry you.

[sighs, chuckling]

[Toni sighing]

Oh, love Christmas winters
in the woods.

The way the cold air
just hits your lungs.

It's like, um...

um...

A reset?

Yeah.

It's like a reset on life.

I've always felt like

the holidays
were a perfect time

for a reset.

Christmas is a week away.

Big plans?

[chuckling ruefully]

Well, if you consider me,
and Chinese food,

and It's a Wonderful Life
big plans, then yeah.

Really?

It's just easier
than the Christmas chaos

at my sisters's.

-"Ss's"?
-Mm-hmm.

How many "Sr'ses"
do you have?

I have three older "Ss's".

Ah.

And don't get me wrong,
I love my sisters,

and I love Christmas, but...

Well, someday,
I hope to have a Christmas

with my own family,

and, until then,

this retreat
is my family Christmas.

And Moo Shu.

[laughing]

Yes, and Moo Shu.

[audience applauding]

[tearfully] He gave him
the money for the operation!

[tearfully] And they now
have a holiday meal

with the turkey and trimmings.

[laughing]

That was bizarre
and amazing.

Yeah, I wasn't sure

how you would take
the puppets' part.

[laughing]
No, I love those things.

My mom actually got me
a reindeer puppet

for one Christmas
when I was, like, ten.

Oh, where's your mom now?

Mesa, Arizona.

Her and her sister
retired there,

so I don't get to see her
very much,

but you know how it is.

Oh.

Thank you, Mr...

I don't know your last name.

Vishwana.

Oh.

And is Cassidy
your real last name?

What do you mean?

Listen, I've been working
my job for a long time,

and I can spot
a Christmas-party crasher

a mile away.

'Cause, you see,

you're the ones
having the most fun.

[giggling]

That's just it.

It was just fun.

Right.

So, I'm Sabrina Cassidy.

I work at a gift
and print shop,

which is by far

the most boring job
I've ever had,

and I've had a lot of jobs,
okay, trust me... [chuckling]

...'cause I've had to.

Well, nice to meet you,
Sabrina Cassidy,

gift and print shop caretaker.

Oh.

That's how we got the invites.

You know, like, the print shop.

"We"?

Yeah, Toni and I,
we both work there.

I thought she was a lawyer.

I mean, she should be,

but she had
this epic freakout, um,

when she was taking the bar,

and she just never finished it.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

She's lying to Justin?

No, technically,

she didn't tell him
that she was an attorney,

and she's gonna
tell him the truth,

so please don't tell your boss.

Justin's not my boss.

Right, right,
he hired your boss,

but you know what I mean.

I do.

Well, okay,

what about you?

What do you want?

Um...

Well, that's just it.

I haven't really
figured out what I want.

I've been in survival mode
most of my life,

working so many jobs
since I was 13.

I had to support
my mom and sister,

so I really didn't
have the luxury, growing up,

to figure out what I want.

Well, that I understand.

You know, being
first generation in my culture,

overachieving
is the expectation.

My brother is a cardiologist,

and my sister is an attache
to the ambassador to India.

Wow.

[laughing] Yeah,

but I wanted
to choose my own path.

That's really brave.

When I was younger,
I had someone tell me once

to "Do what you love,
and the money will follow."

Well...

I know what I like.

What's that?

You.

Well, good.

Because I...

like you...

too.

[***]

Okay, well, if you ever
don't want to be a CEO,

you could be a s'mores chef.

[chuckling]

I'll keep that in mind.

So how did you go from
a college dropout to here?

I thought you read up on me.

I did.

Must have missed that part.

Well, condensed version,

I got an internship
at Halshford Industries

after delivering pizza to them
while I was still in school,

and the owner, Ted Carlingson,

he believed in me,

and, uh...

well, he taught me everything
I know about business.

He was a real gem of a guy.

Unfortunately,
his kids were not,

and when they took over
after his passing,

they changed everything
completely.

How?

Started doing
hostile takeovers,

like buying companies
and chopping them up,

selling them for parts.

Corporate raiders.

Exactly,

and the worst part was...

they lied about
what they were doing.

That was a deal-breaker for me.

I grew up with my dad
lying to me

about anything and everything,

and...

it's just not
something I tolerate,

ever.

He said "deal breaker"?

His exact words.

Oh, that's not good.

How can I tell him
the truth now?

He's never going to
speak to me again,

and what if he tells
the bar association?

Oh...

I'm sorry, Tone,
this is all my fault.

I didn't think

that there would be
real consequences.

No, it's not your fault.

I-I went along with it,

I liked the rush.

-Yeah.
-Gosh,

it was nice not to think
about reality for a bit.

Yeah.

Then reality came in.

I just wanted more
for you and me.

Yeah.

What if Gus finds out?

I mean, I don't like the job,
but I need the job.

I-I-I still help my mom,
you know?

I know, I know you do,
but you know what?

You are...

You are a great daughter,

always.

Thanks.

Justin hates liars, Bri.

You are a lot of things,
Antonia Andretti,

but you are not a liar.

Yet I'm lying.

Kind of makes me one.

Why don't you just
talk to Justin

and see what he says?

What if
he kicks us out of here?

What's that gonna do
for your chances with Vinny?

I think my chances with Vinny
are pretty good.

[man] Yo! Olympics?

[chuckling]
I knew I recognized you.

Doug Myers.

We met at the Chamber
of Commerce Christmas party.

Oh, hi.

Hi!

You're that ski instructor

who qualified
for the Olympics, right?

You remember that part.

Olympics?

Justin...

Morning.

Hey, boss, I met--

Uh, sorry,
I'm terrible with names.

Antonia.

I said-- My name is Toni.

Huh.

That is not...

Anyway, we met
at a Christmas party last week.

How many Christmas parties
have you been to this year?

Says the guy
I've seen at three of them.

Touché.

Do you guys work together?

Mm.

Doug's one of
our worst paralegals.

[sighing] Guilty.

Hey, are you guys going
on the afternoon ski run?

Hadn't planned on it.

Oh--

I mean, you have to,

that's your thing.

Plus, you can give me tips
so I don't hurt myself.

She is a superstar
on the slopes.

A lady of hidden talents.

So hidden.

Um, you know, I think
that I need to do, um,

the Skyline Motor files.

Oh, there's plenty of time
once we get back.

Come on, you have to come.

No more excuses.

Shuttle leaves at noon.

See you there.

Hey, boss,
come check out my new gear.

[Justin] You got it.

[Toni squeaking nervously]

Don't panic.

I'm so panicking.

Oh, Justin, I got that.

Thanks, Vinny.

No worries.

What's this?

Heated vest, water pouch,

protein bars,

extra pair of gloves,
extra pair of underwear,

and an emergency alert

for when you fall or get lost.

He's not wrong.

Oh, gee, thank you.

Thank you for your support.

What's up?

I know you told me
not to bother,

but I did some digging
into Ms. Andretti.

Did you find
anything concerning?

I didn't find anything at all,

other than the fact

that she went to the same
Ivy League law school

as Latisha.

So exactly
what we already knew.

Right, but I couldn't find
any post-graduate work,

nothing in New England.

You don't think that's strange?

Just because you couldn't
find it online

doesn't mean she hasn't
practiced somewhere,

and she might work for herself.

Did she say that?

Did she say she worked
for herself?

It hasn't come up
in conversation.

Justin, we both know

how important
the Skyline deal could be.

Okay, come here.

What's this really about?

I'm worried this is gonna be
another Juliette situation.

It's not.

I'd know.

Right, except for last time,
you didn't,

until she had her hooks in you

and drained
over half your bank account.

We had to threaten
to get the police involved

to rectify those funds.

Thank you for that painful
and thrilling recap,

but Toni and Juliette
are completely different.

You've known her for two days.

And I can't even get her
to give me a quote

on her consulting.

That's a big clue right there.

I'm just saying--

Sebastian...

let it go.

Toni!

Let me give you
a hand with that.

Oh...

thanks.

My pleasure.

[***]

Casual Corner.

Nice easy green,
wraps around the whole mountain.

Sounds good to me.

Toni can lead us.

Toni, you good for that?

You don't need me to lead you,

you guys got this.

Um, besides, you know,

I was thinking of trying
Widow's Chute.

Yeah, double black diamond.

Looks good.

You guys wanna join me on that?

Huh. No.

No, I-I think I'll....

I'll stick with the, uh,
scenic easy route.

Thanks.

[Justin] And I think

I'll stick with Doug on that.

So I'll see you at the bottom?

Hour and a half?

Sounds great.

Last one there buys.

Tell me your drink orders now.

-Hot toddies.
-Ooh...

Sounds good, guys.

See you later, hotshot.

Have fun.

[***]

Oh!

Oh, hey, I meant to tell you,

I love what you did
with the hot chocolate.

Is it better?

Much, and the chili
gives the perfect kick.

Good advice is always welcome,

and look,
we fixed the line problem.

Yeah, I saw that.
It looks great.

Hey, if you have
a few minutes,

I'd love to show you the setup
for the Christmas party.

Oh, are you working
on that one, too?

Yeah, well, I'm a Jane
of all trades, that's me.

Same.

Uh, meet you in the lounge
in ten minutes,

and I'll show you the plans.

Yeah, sure.

I'd love to see it.

That was
an un-casual conversation.

Yeah, well, I gave
the barista some advice

on how she should relocate
the hot chocolate bar

and up the quality
of the product

to maximize guest satisfaction,

and she took it.

Is that all?

That looked like a nice tip.

This should be
a good weekend for you, huh?

I'll do fine.

Hmm.

Well, gotta go, sundar.

Uh, will I see you
at the party?

"Sundar"?

It means "beautiful" in Hindi.

Hmm.

Well, in that case,

I think you have
a very strong chance.

-Yeah?
-Yeah.

Good.

[snoring]

[***]

[startling awake]

Oh, gosh.

Okay.

Okay...

[Doug] I'm just saying
that it's etiquette

to wait for your buddy
when you get to a fork.

I'm just saying my buddy
should be a little faster.

-Okay, I'm--
-Hmm.

[***]

[breathing hard]

[sputtering]

...etiquette
to wait for your partner...

-I thought--
-Phew!

-Hey...
-There she is.

Sorry I'm late, guys.

Third run's the charm.

Hot toddy for you?

Oh, thank you so much.

Started a tab under your name.

[laughing] Cheers.

Cheers.

-[laughing]
-[clinking glasses]

Hey, you got, like,
a little chip

or something there.

Oh, I was having a snack
on the way down,

it was so easy.

Smart.

[***]

[sighing]

[dialing]

[phone ringing]

Hello.

Is everything okay?

Yeah, everything's fine.

Oh, okay, well,
do you want me to get your mom?

No, Dad,
I called you on your phone.

Oh, yeah.
[chuckling] Okay.

Well, what's up?

Um, I wanted to talk to you
about something,

but... hey, first,

I-I really wanted
to say I'm sorry

for how I spoke with you before.

It was completely out of line.

No, it's okay.

No, it's not okay.

I...

I very much respect
what you do,

and I very much
respect you, Dad.

Well, that's nice to hear.

I love you, pumpkin.

I know.

I love you, too.

You know, everything I do,

I do for you and your mom,

and I know
I get a little one-note

about your law future,

but that's because

I know you'd be
so much better than me.

I can see it clear as day.

Thanks, Dad.

Uh, funnily enough,
that's why I called,

to talk to you about your case,
Skyline Motors.

Really?

Yeah.

It's, uh,
kind of a long story,

but I'm consulting
for Justin Harrison

of Harrison Economic--

--Ventures?

Yeah, they're in the middle
of trying to buy Skyline.

Yes. Yes, they are,

and-and that's the problem.

I haven't told him
that I heard from you

about the seatbelts.

I'm kind of just trying
to give them

a fuller picture
of the company,

but I think I found a way
to help you and Justin.

Justin?

Oh, it's "Justin",

is it?

Focus, Dad.

Do you think I could take
a look at the files

on the class-action lawsuit?

It's totally okay
if you don't--

Uh...

Toni, I...

I guess, technically,

you're still an employee
of Andretti Law

from when you interned
that summer,

so there's
no client privilege snag,

but, um...

[sighs heavily]

Okay, Tone,
I'm going to trust ya.

I will upload the files
to the company portal,

and the password
is the same one as before.

Yeah, "big payout"
with three money symbols.

[chuckles]

One for you, your mom, and me.

I remember.

Thanks, Dad.

You're welcome, pumpkin.

[beeping phone off]

Hey, Bri, I'm back!

Saucy Santa or Snow Princess?

Snow Princess.

That makes you Saucy Santa.

Wait, what?

I called my dad.

You made up with Lou?

Yeah, I should have
done it earlier.

People forgive others
when they make mistakes.

Okay, you've never been
good at subtlety,

so you might as well be blunt.

I'm just saying, I don't think
it would be as bad with Justin

if you were to just tell him
the truth.

Why do you think that?

Okay, don't kill me...

Oh, no.

...but I sort of,
like, kinda totally

told Vinny the truth earlier.

Which truth?

You know, the whole truth.

You know, about you and me.

Me?

Yeah, it's cool,

but he was cool with it all.

-Bri!
-Don't worry,

he's not going to say anything.

Which he could,

and he probably totally should
tell Justin!

Yeah, okay,
but that's why I think

Justin would be fine with it,

because Vinny was.

He says that there's
at least two party crashers

every year at Christmas parties.

So just don't worry,
people do it all the time.

Bri, what I'm doing right now
is different.

I trust Vinny
not to say anything.

You just met him.

You just met Justin.

You're going to tell me

that you don't think
he's trustworthy?

That's different.

Why, 'cause Justin's
a rich CEO

and Vinny's a valet?

You know
I don't think like that.

Okay, I know.

I know.

[sighing]

You're my best friend,

and you've always
had my back, so...

if you trust Vinny,

so will I.

Okay.

Now give me
that Saucy Santa dress.

No problemo.

[***]

* It looks a lot like
Christmas to me... *

[laughing]

Excuse me.

-Cheers!
-Cheers.

[Bri giggling]

That looks delicious.

It's a Frosty Cocktail.

Bri helped them
with the recipe.

Really?

Are those coconut flakes?

Good eye.

Here.

Oh, thank you.

It is delicious.

Be back in a bit.

Toni, you look...

absolutely beautiful.

Uh, you look--

The same as I always do?

Which is very handsome.

You think I'm very handsome?

Um, I should--

So, I was--

-I didn't--
-I'm gonna go, uh--

-Yes, absolutely, um--
-Okay.

You can have-- Um--

-I--
-Okay, I'll take it.

-[chuckling awkwardly]
-Yes.

I'll get another one.

What do you think?

Mm, it's beautiful.

It's because of your tips.

They really helped.

Are you sure?

Not everyone loves
when I meddle.

No, that's just
their ego talking.

When I hear good advice,

I take it.

[chuckling]

-Excuse me.
-Yeah.

You look beautiful.

[Doug and friend shouting]
What? He was offside.

He was offside!

A replay, let's get a replay.

No, no, no, no, no, no,

that's not a goal.

[Doug and friend laughing]

[sighing]

Ms. Andretti.

Hey.

So, um...

You know, we leave
for Westport tomorrow,

and-and we still haven't talked
about Skyline.

And that's entirely on me,

but once I got here,

the idea of work,

it just kinda went
out the window. [chuckling]

Okay.

Well, um, when did you
want to talk about work?

How about Tuesday afternoon,

at the office?

Okay.

Great,

and we're gonna finally
discuss your fee.

No.

No, no, no.

Yes, yes.

It's only fair.

Well, let's put a pin in that.

Um...

but, uh, I did do
a little bit of digging,

and I think I might have found
something of interest.

Would this
something of interest

change anything

or have negative implications

if we waited until Tuesday
to discuss it?

No.

Good.

Because I have to admit,

I've very much enjoyed
not talking about work,

and I have you
to thank for that.

I really appreciate

not having
any stress or drama--

[music of commercial playing]

[laughing] Oh, ho, ho,
this dude's such a clown.

Oh, yeah, this guy...

* Up on a rooftop
Slip and fall *

* Got no insurance
Who do you call? *

[Doug, laughing]
"Who, who, who?"

* Who, who, who?
Lou, Lou, Lou! *

* Who, who, who? *

* Lou, Lou, Lou!

* Who, who, who? *

* Lou! Lou! Lou!

[laughter] "Lou! Lou! Lou!"

-[guffawing]
-Oh, wait, wait, wait.

Lou!
[laughing hysterically]

He so got his degree online.

[laughing] Totally!

You okay?

They're mocking him.

The guy on the commercial?

[Doug giggling]

Do you feel cool right now?

Mocking him
make you feel superior?

To who? That guy?

-Easily.
-Yeah! [laughing]

"That guy"?
You know, "that guy"

worked his way
through law school

while living out of his car,

and he still passed the bar
on the first try.

How many times
did it take you, huh?

Oh, you didn't pass the bar.

You know, God forbid
you ever get in an accident,

but if you did,
you'd be so lucky

to have Lou Andretti
on your side.

Toni...

I just need some air.

You know, this is
the first time

I haven't seen you
in your uniform.

Well,
we'll have to change that.

Oh...

and how's that, Mr. Vishwana?

Go on a date with me.

We're kinda on one.

Mm-mm, I don't want "kinda".

I wanna pick you up
at your place,

and take you
to a fancy restaurant,

and buy you champagne.

Oh, you don't
have to do all that.

I want to.

Vishwana,
wanna go on a date with me?

Very much.

Wait, Vishwana--
"Wanna Go..."

Any relation?

Well, um...

It's like your family's
company?

Well, no.

It--

It's mine.

Yeah, I started it
when I was still in college

in Connecticut,

and that's where I met Justin
before he dropped out.

I like to stay in touch
with how I started.

Keeps me connected,

and I get to meet
interesting people.

Um... what's wrong?

I feel stupid.

What?

Why?

I don't know, I just do.

Bri...

Oh, Vinny, hey!

Uh, sorry to interrupt.

I just saw a couple of guys
get on your snowmobiles.

Looks like
they're trying to race them.

[Vinny] I'll handle it.

[***]

[sighing]

[sighing heavily]

So Lou Andretti's your father?

Yup.

"Christmas fall,
who do you call?"

I'm sorry they were jerks.

Oh, it's not that,

or it's not only that.

You know, a week ago,

I-I would have been
just like them.

I would have been
making fun of him,

or at least not supporting him,

if I'm being honest.

I love my dad,

but he's been the butt of jokes
my whole life.

The benches, the commercials.

You've seen 'em.

Not that I'm in any position
to judge anyone.

What do you mean
you're not in any position?

At least he's authentically
who he is.

Authenticity.

-Yeah.
-Toni, I--

-Justin, I--
-Can I say something?

Okay.

I have had
the most insane crush on you

since we bumped into each other,

and I probably, uh...

...I definitely...

invited you here
as an opportunity

to spend more time with you.

Wait, so you don't want me
to consult?

No, I do, I very much do.

Your help is going to be
a godsend,

and I appreciate it
more than you know.

Okay.

But I just want to be upfront.

I'm equally glad
to spend time with just you,

and I hope that's okay.

It...

It's more than okay.

Justin, I-- I have to--

[Bri calling] Toni! Toni!

Oh, man.

I'm sorry,

-It can wait.
-Go.

-I'm sor-sorry.
-It's okay.

I don't think Vinny
lied to you.

Well, he could've told me
a dozen times

that he owned the business,

and he didn't.

Well, did you ask him
why he didn't tell you?

No.

I pulled a Toni Andretti,
and I bolted.

Here I am.

I thought I found
someone like us,

or like me,
on my playing field.

Hey, he is
on your playing field.

No, he isn't.

What do I have to offer
a rich guy like that?

Hey, listen to me,
Sabrina Becky Cassidy.

You are the smartest,

most fearless, determined person
that I know.

You're the one who came up with
the whole themed dinners

in the first place,

since high school.

You're the one who helped me
through my post-bar-exam gloom,

and you're the one

who came up with the whole
Christmas Crashers

to begin with.

Which was probably a mistake,

because now you're stuck
on what to do about Justin,

who I know
you totally kissed,

so don't deny it.

It was the single best kiss
of my life.

Well?

What are you gonna do about it?

[***]

Thank you so much.

Have a good one.

How are you?

Psst!

Okay.

Thanks.

[knocking on door]
Hey.

Have you heard from Toni?

She was, uh, a little quiet
on the flight home.

Perhaps she's trying to find
a way out of the mess

that she's made.

What are you talking about?

My due diligence
on Ms. Andretti.

For the record,

there's no need to apologize
for doubting me.

I am sorry, Justin.

[dropping file on desk]

Okay, let me
get this straight.

You pretended to be a doula,

a ski instructor,

and a crash-test engineer.

No, that one was Bri.

That is one way to deal
with holiday boredom.

Yeah, well, let's not forget

when she pretended
to be an attorney.

I never said that I was.

That's semantics.

You knew that they thought
that you were,

and a court
would rule in their favor.

Probably.

You could be in a lot
of trouble, Tone. So could he.

I promise,
I never received payment.

At least that's something.

Did your father tell you

that he now has 47 plaintiffs

for the Skyline lawsuit?

Wait, really, Dad?

Are you serious?
That's great!

I know,

but I'm still looking
for the smoking gun

that'll seal the deal.

You will find it, you will.

[clearing throat]

What's that?

Where'd you get this?

I interviewed
everybody I could find

-connected with Skyline.
-I know,

but when I looked over
your interviews,

there was a lawyer
who mentioned his intern,

Penny Blevins.

I went to law school with her.

Okay, so?

So, I remember something that
she said to me at the time.

Something
that I thought was odd.

She wanted to buy a car,

but she adamantly

did not want to buy
from Skyline,

and I thought,
you know, that's weird,

'cause she gets an employee
discount, probably, right?

[Lou] Yeah, makes sense.

Except she didn't care.

She said that the car
wasn't safe enough for her,

and at the time,

I thought it was, like,
an overall rating thing, but...

It was something specific.

Exactly.

So I contacted her,
and I was right.

She even kept copies
of some of the Skyline files,

despite the fact that
that's not exactly kosher.

That's all right,
we can work around that.

That's right.

What is it?

Th-this is an internal memo

ordering new seatbelts.

For all their models!

[Toni] Proof that Skyline knew

that their seatbelts
were dangerously defective,

which is why
they changed manufacturers.

And they never did a recall.

No, they stuck their heads
in the sand,

hoping for the best.

[chuckles in disbelief]

Thank you, pumpkin.

D-do you know what this means?

Do you know how many people
we can help now?

Yeah, Dad, I do.

[laughing]

Drink.

-Cheers!
-[laughing]

-Cheers!
-Cheers.

[***]

[exhaling nervously]

[tapping message]

Yup.

Too soon?

Yes.

[chuckling]

What time are you
going to meet Justin?

4:00 p.m.

Are you nervous?

I'm terrified,

but it's now or never.

If I want a shot,
I gotta get serious,

about a lot of things.

You've got this.

Thanks.

I'm proud of you.

[chuckling]

You should probably
take your lunch break now.

It's 10:30 in the morning.

[***]

You haven't answered
any of my texts or calls.

I...
I didn't know what to say.

We could figure out
what to say together.

Unless... I don't mean
anything to you--

No.

That's 100% not true.

Well, I don't know
what to think, Bri.

One minute,
I'm head over heels,

and then I'm ghosted?

Look, I'm sorry

I didn't tell you
I was the business owner,

but I wanted the chance for you
to get to know the real me.

Head over heels?

Yeah.

That's how I feel
when I'm around you.

Well, for the record,
I didn't mean to ghost you.

I was embarrassed.

Embarrassed?

Why?

Why would someone like you

like someone like me?

Uh, because you're amazing.

How do you not see that?

I feel like this whole weekend
shined a spotlight

on how I have zero direction.

You have a hugely
successful business,

so does Justin.

Toni is
the smartest person I know.

And you're smart.

Funny, tenacious.

Never boring.

You impressed
St. Jack-Jean so much

that she called up Justin
just to track you down.

I never even saw
St. Jack-Jean.

Who do you think
the hot chocolate barista was?

Seriously?

So serious she asked for
your contact info.

She thought you had
a really unique

and fun way
of looking at the world.

Oh, shucks!

Bri...

no one makes me feel
more like me

than you do
when I'm with you.

Now, please tell me
there's still a chance for us.

I'll only wear the valet jacket
if that's what you like.

[giggling]

I already told you
what I like.

I like you.

[***]

Justin?

Ms. Andretti to see you.

Hi.

Hi.

Can I get you a water?

Oh, no, I'm okay.

Um, I wanted to talk with you
about Skyline Motors--

-No.
-I'm sorry?

No, you will not talk to me
about Skyline Motors.

But--

I can't take any legal advice
from you, Toni,

because you're not
a real lawyer.

You haven't even
passed the bar.

I don't suppose
you'd believe me

if I told you that that's why
I wanted to see you today.

No.

Didn't think so.

You put my entire company

and my reputation
in jeopardy, Toni,

and that's...

that is completely
unacceptable.

I... I know.

I-I completely agree.

It wasn't at all my intention.

I just, I think,
somewhere along the line,

I just, I got so caught up

in how much I liked
being seen as a lawyer,

and...

...to be totally honest,
I got caught up in you, too.

Um...

Skyline Motors is a bad bet
for your company.

They're about to have
a massive wave of debt

coming their way

once the class-action lawsuits
come in,

and they'll lose.

Obviously,

you'll inherit that debt,

with no comparable assets
to counter the blow.

It's-it's all in here.

Bri and I started
crashing Christmas parties

because we were...

were so lost
in our present lives,

and we needed an escape,

and when I met you,

you became part of that escape,

and then when Latisha just
assumed that I was a lawyer,

I didn't correct her,

because...

well, she was in labor,

but also...

it all just, kind of, became

part of the same fantasy,

but then it turned real,

at least for me.

You need to go, Toni.

You know it wasn't all a lie.

[***]

[Toni laughing] Oh, ho-ho-ho!

You didn't waste time
getting those up, did you?

Yeah, well,
I've been planning this

for a lot of years.

I hope I make you proud.

Ah, every day, pumpkin.

Every day.

Same.

Oh, your mom asked me
to give you these.

She made a new batch.

Oh, what's Santa's injury
this year?

Eye patch.

[laughing]

He looks like Snake Plissken
meets The Christmas Chronicles.

That's a lot of Kurt Russell.

There was a marathon
last week.

Uh, tell Mom I'll be around
after all the wedding stuff.

Okay, will do.
Love you.

[Toni calling] Love you!

More billable hours!

You heading home to visit
my favorite pseudo-nephew?

If by that
you mean my adorable son,

then yes.

Well, look what I found for him
at lunch today.

[sighing] You've got to stop
spoiling him.

Never.

[Lou voice-over]
This ad has been approved

by Andretti and Andretti

[together] We got you!

Toni joined Lou's office
a couple months ago.

You're in contact with her?

She reached out
after the retreat

to tell me what happened

and apologize.

We kept in touch.

I haven't talked to her since.

She did save us
nearly two billion

on what would have been
a bad acquisition?

Fair enough.

Justin,

she didn't set out
to trick you.

She got caught up
in a situation,

which, frankly, I helped create.

And is that why
you're trying so hard

to get me to forgive her?

Partly,

but also,

I may have only spent
a short time with you two,

but I could see the chemistry.

Oh, okay.

In the ten seconds
before you went into labor?

Am I wrong?

No,

but that was a year ago,

and I'm sure
she's moved on by now.

She hasn't.

Mm-mm, mm-mm,
no, no, no, I got this one.

Oh, okay.

I'm very curious.

Where's our big adventure?

Here, in this room,

one year ago.

Bold. Explain.

Well, it was here

that we came up with
our biggest adventure ever--

[together]
Christmas crashing!

[laughing]

Which led you to meet
the man of your dreams.

And I'm an event planner.

You've always been
an event planner,

now it's just official.

And you passed the bar.

A Christmas miracle.

Oh!

So...

if we had to go back
and do it all over again,

heartache included,

would you?

Absolutely.

Heartache included.

* My best friend's
getting married *

* My best friend's

-* Oh, yeah!

* Oh, yeah!

[laughing]

No, no, no, no.

You got this.

Love you.

Hello...

sundar.

[guests all applauding
and cheering]

-Wow!
-Yes!

[guests cheering]

Oh, that was amazing,
you guys!

That was amazing!

Oh, my gosh.

Really ruining romance
for the rest of us.

[laughing]

That was so good.

Hey, um, did any of you
invite Justin to the wedding?

I swear I didn't.

No, when my bride
asks me not to do something

with such a fierce look,

I will comply.

Maybe he's crashing.

Well, then how did he know
where it was?

You didn't say
I couldn't talk about it.

Oh...

But-- But-- But--
I didn't invite him.

Are you mad at me?

How could I be mad
at a cute face like this?

[laughing]

[Bri] Come on!

[Justin] Merry Christmas.

Are you crashing this wedding?

Technically.

Hmm. You know,

you could get into
a lot of trouble for that.

That's a risk
I'm willing to take.

Um...

I, um...

I'm not sure
I apologized enough last year.

Um...

You did.

Congratulations
on passing the bar,

and thank you for the help
with the Skyline deal.

Well, thanks, and...

and you're welcome.

Toni, I'm sorry, too.

I'm sorry for at least not
hearing you out.

Well, I don't think
many people would've.

Well, I...

I let past hurt
influence my reaction with you.

That wasn't fair...

...and that's
what I came here to say.

Is that all?

No.

Toni, if you're open to it...

I would really like
to start over,

with a fresh slate.

Hello there.

My name is Antonia Andretti.

I'm a newly-licensed attorney
in Connecticut,

I absolutely hate caviar,

and I couldn't help
but notice you.

Nice to meet you,
Ms. Andretti.

My name's Justin Harrison.

I run
Harrison Economic Ventures,

and I also hate caviar.

[clinking glasses]

That's a pretty good start.

Also, my friends call me Toni.

That's a beautiful name.

Thanks.

Would you like
to dance with me, Toni?

I'd love to.
