$4,000.

$4,000?

It's gonna need that much in repairs.

$2,000.

I'll pay $4,000.

- Oh, now we're talking. - Wait wait wait. Wait a second.

Are you gonna pay $4,000?

No, but...

Sold to the lady in the red coat.

I have a client, New Rochelle Classic Cinema.

They're looking to authenticate their movie going experience

and this projector is exactly what they had in mind.

Thank you.

Who's that?

Kathryn Liu of Liu Antiques.

And she just swiped your projector.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Hi, I'd like one large hot cocoa,

two shots of peppermint, one shot of vanilla,

three shakes of cinnamon, and no foam creamer.

Thank you.

A lady that knows what she wants and gets it.

Like the film projector.

- For your client. - Who will be so happy.

Once it's repaired.

There is that.

Rob Ashford, vintage mechanical restoration specialist.

I've heard about you.

You're actually who I was intending to call

about repairing the Simplex XL.

Then this must be fate.

- Oh, must it? - It must!

Well, I have your card, Rob Ashford.

I will be in touch about working together.

Or, you know, maybe we could

discuss over coffee.

Coffee.

Or dinner.

Or coffee or just--

We can keep it at a phone call or never see each other again,

he says, feeling suddenly awkward.

Whatever you prefer.

I like dinner.

Yeah?

I'll give you a call.

Okay.

I'm nervous.

You never get nervous.

Which is making me more nervous.

Do you like him?

I mean, I'm going on a date with him.

I mean, do you like him, like him?

You're gorgeous and successful, and you get asked out a ton,

but you never get nervous.

I don't know.

Maybe.

it's not like I've had any luck with dating.

Okay, you were married one time.

Like, 15 years ago.

I know, but it's, you know, it's not just me.

It's all the Lius.

We're romantically jinxed.

- Hi, Dad. - Kathryn.

Find anything exciting at the antiques fair?

She's trying to figure that out.

Uh... that's girl talk, Dad.

Well, you don't need me for that.

Your dad is always fastest when he's running away

from anything with feels.

Welcome to my childhood.

Oh, I'd love to, but I'm delivering a Wedgewood stove

to Philly that day.

And I have estate sales in Maine through the 19th,

and then I'm back for a few days,

and then I fly out to Vail for a ski trip

right after Christmas. How does the 20th work for you?

Oh... I have a thing.

You have a thing?

Yeah, okay, so here's the deal.

Every year my family get together,

we do a cookie baking night.

Family and friends, you know, come over.

We bake, like, 900 Christmas cookies.

900 Christmas cookies?

Are you starting a side business?

It's for charities my parents support, and...

Mom was a district judge, Dad was a D.A.

So, between the two of them, they know every charity

in the five boroughs.

Well, that's kind of awesome.

Yeah, it's, like, my favorite night of the year, actually.

But, uh,

clearly not a first date setting.

No.

What about the 21st?

I'm full time at the shop until after Christmas.

Oh, well, maybe we're not gonna be able to see each other

until after the new year.

Yeah, it sounds like it.

- Unless... - Unless?

Okay, this might sound kinda crazy.

Crazy? I just told you

I'm making 900 Christmas cookies.

Um. What if I joined you?

You'd do that?

Well, you said that people besides your family

would be there, right?

Yeah. That's right. I mean, you know,

people come around every year. It's super fun.

It's, like, ten people baseline.

Ten? Okay, that's not so scary.

And that way we wouldn't have to wait weeks.

Well, I'm really on board with this.

I mean, you get to see me in my best element.

Christmas time with my family, it's...

it's kinda my jam.

Okay, well, if it's your jam,

I'll see you on the 20th.

Can't wait.

- Hi! - Hi.

You made it. Come in, come in.

Ah, I did, I did.

Although, you know, if I had gotten lost,

all I would've had to do is, um...

- Oh. Here. - Oh, thank you.

Just follow the smell of cookies.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Pretty, uh, fantastic. Right?

Oh.

This her?

Yes, Dad, this is Kathryn.

Dave Ashford.

It's great to finally meet you.

- Oh, finally. - Uh...

it's been less than three days.

Fewer. Hi, Kathryn.

- Hi. - I'm Amy.

I am Rob's older and wiser sister.

And I'm gonna take Dad here back into the kitchen

so that you can have a moment's breathing space

before you dive into the madness.

- Thank you. Bye-bye. - Come on, Dad.

Bye-bye. - Bye-bye.

Uh, welcome.

Another Christmas sweater.

This is my cookie making sweater.

Oh.

Um, is everybody wearing a Christmas sweater?

Well...

Maybe, but it's not required.

Oh.

- Come on, this is gonna be fun. - Okay.

Wow. It's so perfect.

Last year, that was you.

Oh, there you are.

I'm almost ready for you.

- Coming? - Yeah.

Leah, let's get those outta the oven.

It smells so good in here.

Family!

Rob! - There's Rob again, hey.

Everyone, this is Kathryn. She's a friend of Rob's.

She's just now realizing what she got herself into.

So, let's just put her on icing duty.

Yeah. Thanks, Amy.

Uh, this is, uh, my brother-in-law, Craig.

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

She's not funny looking at all.

Oh, that's so funny.

Uh, and the greatest, cutest,

niece and nephew in the whole wide world.

So, um, 900 cookies.

Yeah. Give or take.

Kathryn, uh...

this is my mom.

Judge Ashford.

Retired now, like my husband.

Meryl is fine.

Nice of you to help us out tonight.

Of course. Thank you for having me.

Uh, this is for you.

Oh, that's so sweet of you.

- Thank you. - Mm-hmm.

Okay, well, we've got a lot to do and we're already behind,

- So... excuse me. - Okay.

- Um... - I got that.

- Thanks. - Yeah.

Here we go.

You'll be rolling out the dough.

Prep it for cutting.

Then you can pass it to Dave. He'll handle the oven.

- Okay. - All right.

- Wow. - Good luck.

Hmm. Willy Wonka did Christmas cookies?

And you're up.

♪ We wish you a Merry Christmas ♪

♪ We wish you a Merry Christmas ♪

♪ We wish you a Merry Christmas ♪

♪ And a happy New Year

Perfect!

So, where do all these go to?

Churches, schools, shelters.

When we were growing up, Mom and Dad taught us that

uh, Christmas isn't just about what you receive,

but about giving to others.

Yeah. I think that's the real meaning of the season.

It's wonderful.

So, Kathryn,

what does your family do for Christmas tradition-wise?

Um...

we didn't have a lot of traditions growing up.

Um, except...

my dad and I always went out for Christmas Eve pancakes

at Lucy's Diner in the Bronx.

Well, we still do.

- Um... oops. - Just the two of you?

Yeah. My parents, um,

they divorced when I was really young.

Um, my mom, she remarried and moved to Portland.

And my dad,

he remarried twice,

and now he's dating Susan. She's really nice.

Don't worry, honey. Let me.

Not my first cookie bake.

All right. Ready?

Wanna press it? Give it a good press.

Okay, you wanna wiggle it and then pull it out.

Absolutely perfect.

Wow.

- Oof! - Ah!

Uh, I'm guessing skiing's gonna be pretty easy after tonight.

I may have underestimated what I was signing up for.

It's my fault, I probably should've warned you better.

No, no, I volunteered.

But I do appreciate your family's creativity,

especially around Christmas.

Well, it's the one time of year that my two workaholic parents

had time off simultaneously, and we could all be together.

Aww. I envy that.

You know, having traditions, especially around the holidays.

Yeah.

You know, if it wasn't so close to Christmas,

I'd give you the full

Rob Ashford Christmas experience.

Uh. Hey, Kathryn.

- Yeah. - Uh...

I'm just gonna put this out there.

I'd love to see you again.

When you, when you get back.

If you want.

I would like to see you again as well.

Although maybe this time we just do dinner.

- Yes! Dinner. - Yeah.

I'm so in.

But this-this time I'll take you somewhere fancy.

You know, like a proper date.

A proper date.

Yeah.

Okay. Bye!

- Good morning. - Hi.

Cocoa. Two shots of peppermint,

one shot vanilla, three shakes of cinnamon.

No foam creamer.

You remembered!

Well, that's my job...

as your boyfriend to remember everything about you,

and I take my job very seriously.

Aww, you're so perfect.

Stop it.

- You are. - No, I'm not.

Brilliant. Gorgeous. Successful. Talented. Funny.

Just...

Perfect. You're perfect.

Does this mean what I think it does?

'Tis December 1st.

And yes, and as promised,

it is time for the full

Rob Ashford Christmas experience.

I have so many things planned, babe.

And you should see the house.

Full Griswold.

Oh, your neighbors must love that.

Well, just as long as you do.

I aim to pass the Kathryn test.

What does that mean?

Well, you know, Christmas dates that don't remind you

of last year's cookie making experience.

Okay, to be fair, it was our first date,

and your mother was there.

True, but she won't be at my place tonight

for our special date.

Don't forget.

I never forget.

Have a good day.

Perfect!

Bye.

Oh my gosh.

Oh, Rob, this is gorgeous.

- When did you-- - Two months ago.

I've been waiting for December to get here.

This way we can spend Christmas together

newly engaged.

You're 100% sure about this.

No, I know, I know that you adore her,

and I really like her too, but...

you've known each other less than a year.

So what? You can know someone forever

and never really know them at all.

I knew Kathryn was the one for me the second I saw her.

She's perfect, Amy.

Careful...

putting someone up on a pedestal because

you can't stand beside someone if you got them above you.

♪ Doo-doo-doo

Why am I so nervous?

Okay.

Okay.

Will you marry me?

Oh.

- Hi. - Hi. Come in.

- Uh, okay. - Wo-- uh...

- Wow. - Yeah.

- Oh. - Um...

Come and stand right here.

- Okay. - Mm-hmm.

Okay. So.

Well, as you know,

uh, I have a lot of plans this Christmas.

Sleigh ride. Nutcracker.

Walking through the Christmas market together.

Big list.

But everything on the list, it only matters 'cause...

'cause you're gonna be there.

It's the thing that I've been most looking forward to

from last year, if I'm being completely honest.

And, um, you're just amazing.

Ah!

Oh. I'm sorry.

Okay.

I had this big speech planned,

but it all just comes down to one thing.

I love you, Kathryn Liu.

I loved you

from-from the moment

that I saw you stealing my projector.

I knew right then

that you

were the person that I've been waiting for.

You're...

you're perfect.

And I want this, I want all of this.

Every Christmas.

- Starting right now. - Rob.

- What? - Rob, I am...

- What? - I think, I think...

that we should stop.

- Stop? - Stop. Stop.

- Yeah, stop. Stop. - What?

Because this is coming out wrong. But, um...

you are too good for...

and I just--

Wait, what are you saying?

I'm so sorry. I have to go.

Ka-- Kathryn?

So?

She, uh...

ran away.

Oh, no.

Come over.

Rob?

Come over.

Hi, Amy.

Wha--

I think he's gonna be okay. We're just...

waiting to hear what they have to say.

- I know. - Oh, here she is.

- Hey. - Hey.

Hi. No, he's okay. He's gonna be okay.

Uh, we haven't seen him yet, though.

Yeah, he got really lucky.

The neighbors heard the crash, called it in almost immediately.

Doctor Fisher said his scans are clean.

There's no broken bones, no internal bleeding,

not even a concussion.

Oh, thank God.

Oh, uh, I'll take that.

- Thank you. - Yeah.

Just check that everything is...

here, it's just...

Um. Wha--

Is that what I think it is?

Um...

This is a heck of a way to get welcomed into the family, kiddo.

Yeah, I, um-- Good news.

You can see him now.

Great. Okay.

Mom. Go ahead.

Hey, congrats.

Hey. Hi. Oh...

How you feeling, buddy?

Uh...

A little weird, but, uh. I'm okay.

You had us all scared, son.

I'll be fine, Dad, I just, uh...

I don't, I don't really remember what happened.

It's just--

Hi, Rob.

Hi.

Hey.

Who's that?

Who's who?

The woman that just said hi.

That's Kathryn.

A friend of yours?

She's looking at me like she knows me.

Well, of course she knows you, Rob.

That's Kathryn.

She's...

your fiancée.

Good one, Dad.

You'll be fine.

You'll be fine. Get the doctor.

Yeah, I'm gonna go.

Lacunar amnesia, also known as, uh, selective amnesia.

Not entirely surprising,

considering the trauma of the crash.

But he still knows who we are.

That's the unusual specificity of his case.

Um...

he appears to have lost events of approximately the past year,

more or less.

Um...

when will he get his memories back?

That's difficult to predict.

Condition typically resolves when a patient rests

and returns to his, uh, normal routine.

Could be days or weeks. Could be longer.

We really don't know.

What causes it?

That's the interesting part here.

Uh, there's no biological explanation.

Rob's scans are clear,

which suggests the cause is psychological,

rather than physical.

Well, how do we help him get his memories back?

Familiar context exposure.

Get him back in his environment,

surrounded by things he knows. Uh, his home.

He just bought a new house.

Yeah, but he's just done it up for Christmas,

and Rob loves Christmas.

He should remember that, at least.

That may work.

However, um...

given the specific nature of what he's forgotten,

my instinct is the best approach is direct exposure

to experiences of the past year.

Something in that context could trigger the return of his

overall missing memories.

Well, he spent most of his time with me.

Uh, they're engaged.

Rob still had the ring.

Ah, po-tayto, po-tahto. They're practically engaged.

Sounds like you're who should be shepherding

Rob through this, Miss Liu.

You can reintroduce the conversations you've had,

the places you've gone,

things you two did during this time.

But keep it low pressure.

Don't, uh...

push the memories.

Let them surface naturally.

Wait wait wait. I'm sorry.

Are you, are you saying that I should

re-date Rob?

Essentially, yes.

Okay.

I thought we were getting cookies.

- What happened last night? - You know?

I know that the proposal didn't go as planned,

and that's why Rob was on his way to my place

when the accident happened.

He... he started to propose, and then I just said--

Said no.

Not exactly.

It's a yes or no question.

I panicked, and I ran.

Look, I'm not going to ask why.

That is not my business.

Do you want me to leave?

I want my brother to get his memories back.

And according to Doctor Fisher, you may be the key.

Or the reason that he's lost them altogether.

I mean, that whole timeframe that's wiped out,

that's all to do with me.

All the more reason to do as the doctor suggests.

Re-date him.

I know.

It's a big ask.

I mean, he'll hate me if he remembers.

Rob would never hate you.

Will you just consider it?

Please?

Are you gonna tell your family that we're not engaged?

No.

No, that is not my story to tell.

Plus, my mom is very intense.

Wait, wait.

Sam Darnold won a Super Bowl?

Yup. And you know what?

Don't tell your dad I said this, but turns out you just have to

leave the Jets to have a successful career.

What else happened?

What else, what else? Oh, yeah.

No big deal but you, uh,

you bought a house.

Why would I do that?

Uh, I love the space behind my workshop.

No, no, you still have your workshop.

Still full of all the things.

But, um, yeah. Last spring, you just became hyper-focused

on buying a real house.

It's actually quite nice.

Well that's good.

Yeah, yeah, I think you'll like it.

And of course, there's...

Kathryn.

Man...

uh, I wish I remembered her.

Kinda seems out of my league.

Oh, my friend, she is absolutely out of your league.

And, you know, I may have mentioned that to you

a few times, actually.

Bet you did.

You know what? I did bring a few things

to, uh, get you outta here.

Mainly...

this guy. - That's mine?

Yeah, this is your Christmas cookie making sweater

from last year.

Were there no other options? Or...

No.

Trust me, you... you love this sweater.

Rob loves this sweater.

Dude, it's super cheesy.

Yeah, yeah. I mean, that's... that's kinda the whole point

of a Christmas sweater there, pal.

Ah, there you are.

What's wrong?

Oh, sorry. That's a foolish question.

What are you going to do about Doctor Fisher's suggestion?

Well, I'll help Rob, of course.

Thank you.

- I wanted-- - Uh, hon?

I'm, uh, gonna go out and get the car warmed up

and ready to go.

All right, I'll get the discharge papers.

- Okay. - I'll, uh, I'll go talk to Rob.

- Kathryn Liu. - That's me.

- Hi. - Hi.

I, uh...

I like that sweater.

Yeah. Thanks. Uh.

Apparently, it, uh, lights up.

Yes, it does.

I got you your, um, favorite Christmas tea.

It's gingerbread spice.

And, um, your mom is just getting

the final information on your discharge.

Gotcha. Thanks.

So, um...

how'd you sleep?

Uh...

Truthfully, I'm just dying to get home.

Though...

probably not gonna recognize it.

Right.

Have you, have you been to the new pla--

Of course you have.

Sorry. This...

this is kinda weird.

With you on that one.

Okay. You're good to go.

Doctor Fisher said he spoke with you this morning?

He did, yeah. Yeah.

About us, uh...

re-dating.

And showing you things

that you did in the past year or talked about.

And what's your take?

I think you deserve the chance to remember.

So do I.

Okay.

Guess we're re-dating.

I guess we are.

But first things first, I'm-I'm gonna need a ride home.

Oh, well, Dave's just-- Oh, well, my car's just--

It's okay. What if, uh,

if we're gonna do this,

maybe we should just get started.

Follow me.

Okay.

I gotta say, it's a whole lotta Christmas.

Oh, wait 'til you see the inside.

Oh.

Okay.

Wow.

Is this you?

No, all you.

Gosh. Okay.

Let's see here.

It's, uh,

it's from my dad.

I told him what happened, and he wanted

to send you a care package.

Well, that's nice.

I guess he likes me.

Let's see what we got here.

We've got...

Chicken noodle soup.

Nice. It's my favorite.

And...

Chocolate chip cookies. Classic.

We baked about a gazillion of these together last year.

All right. These go first.

Maybe I'll take a bite,

get my memories back.

Speaking of memories,

um...

what's the plan?

You know, for our first re-date?

Uh, well, our first dinner was the private room

at Chez Florence, so I thought we'd do that again.

What? You picked it.

I chose it?

Oh.

It's so pretentious.

Oh. Um.

Well, we can go somewhere else if you want.

No, no, no. It's fine, you know.

If that's where we had our first date,

we should, we should do that again.

Okay.

Uh, well, if you need me at all,

don't hesitate to reach out.

Listen, Kathryn.

I know this has gotta be pretty hard for you,

so I just wanna say, I really appreciate your help.

Well, you deserve to have your memories.

I'll text you about our first date.

Second first date.

- Second first date. - Great.

- Okay. - Okay.

So much Christmas.

Rob was supposed to come over to my place this weekend

to help me decorate.

He had a whole plan for it.

But now it's like...

Rob has forgotten his love of Christmas,

which feels so wrong.

On top of everything else that already feels wrong.

You'll get there.

How can you be so sure?

Excuse me.

Are you gonna help Rob with the memories?

Like the doctor wanted?

Yeah.

Our first re-date is Friday.

Is this, like, a guilt thing?

Probably a little bit.

Over the disaster proposal?

Thanks.

I bolted, Zoe.

Why did you bolt?

I don't know, maybe because of what the proposal meant.

If I had said yes and then it goes wrong again.

It might go right.

My entire family thought that too,

up until they didn't.

And Rob is so perfect and his whole family is too.

I...

I don't wanna be the one that ruins that.

Well, how do you think Rob would react if he

remembers,

you know?

That I will deal with

when it happens.

Well, hello there.

Oh, wow.

Well, at least this feels the same.

Ooh. Oh, I-I got that.

Oh.

- Thank you. - Of course.

And sorry about the, uh, the-the dress code,

I-I just forgot.

Oh, no worries, sir.

We always keep some jackets and ties on hand.

Ah.

- All the way over there. - Oh...

Thanks.

Guess she's getting the jacket.

Uh...

Well, uh...

Oh.

- Hi. - Hi.

Hi.

So, uh, how have you been feeling?

Fine. Yeah.

And thanks for checking in on me so often.

And for reminding me where the peppermint creamer was.

Yeah, I educated you that it needed to be

refrigerated after opened.

Makes total sense.

Well, that's what you said, actually, when I--

Sorry, I will try not to do that so much.

No. It's, uh, it's okay. I mean, we're just

we're figuring this out as we go along.

Yeah.

- Here you go, sir. - Ah.

Thank you.

Oh.

It's, uh, it's a perfect fit.

Sorry, I-I should've told you about the dress code again.

I should've mentioned it.

Fine, I should've remembered.

I mean, we can go somewhere else.

No, no, no. Defeats the whole purpose of re-dating.

Plus...

- I've already learned something. - What?

That last year me was trying really hard to impress you.

Well, isn't the whole purpose of dating

to impress the other person?

Kinda. Yeah.

But it's also, I think about just being yourself.

Showing the other person what they're getting into.

Hmm.

Well, I had a pretty good hint of who you were

when we came here the first time.

This wasn't exactly our first date.

What was?

Your family's charity cookie baking night.

No.

I took you to that?

Wow!

Well, in your defense, you did warn me.

And you said you wanted me to see you at your best

and that your best was Christmas time with your family.

That's true.

And it worked. I mean, we're, uh...

engaged or together or what?

Oh, hi.

Thank you.

Oh. It's all happening.

Oh. Thank you. Yep.

Yeah.

- Uh, bread? - Sure.

- Here you go. - Thank you.

So, uh...

Can you tell me about your family?

I-I don't really know anything about you anymore.

Right, right. Well, um...

my dad and I, we run an antique shop in Manhattan.

His parents started it, and I kinda grew up there.

Which would explain why I can't think of doing anything else.

Although working with one's dad presents certain challenges.

What challenges?

The kind where

your business partner thinks they know everything about you

'cause they've known you since birth.

Mmm.

My mom lives in Seattle.

They divorced when I was seven.

And they both remarried and remarried.

So, not exactly the Ashfords.

No, I...

I'm definitely lucky in some ways.

Yeah. You are.

Well, that was... fun.

Admit it, you'd rather have a hot dog.

- At Yankee Stadium. - Mm-hmm.

So, um, you, um...

you mentioned ideas for Christmas dates

before the, uh...

the accident, and...

you were really excited about them,

so I thought maybe we could try some of those.

Right.

This would've been our first full Christmas together.

That was the plan.

Yeah. Okay.

Well, let's do it.

All the things.

Who knows?

Maybe some of this Christmas stuff

will jog my memories loose.

Explain why I forgot them in the first place.

Yeah.

Well, good night.

Good night.

I have no idea who the client is.

You were restoring it to donate to Mom's charity auction

on Christmas Eve.

Oh.

Thanks.

Yeah.

Better pick up the pace.

Um, what's, um...

what's this stuff?

Oh, just, uh...

It's Christmas decorations. I'm not gonna use them.

I got way too many.

Take 'em.

Uh...

Since when have you ever thought you had

too many Christmas decorations?

Since I bought a giant new house

filled wall to wall Yuletide.

Five bedrooms?

You know, I said the same thing, but, um,

you said you wanted a place to grow into.

Did anyone push me into this?

Why do you ask that?

Well...

buying a new house, that house.

Feels like it's outta nowhere.

Well, from where I'm sitting now, which...

a year ago and then...

I don't know, I-I loved where I was.

And then, what?

Six months later, I'm house hunting?

I know it feels a little fast, but...

you know, love can do that to a person.

Make you see things from a new perspective,

change your priorities.

Yeah, and Kathryn, she didn't push you into this,

if that's what you're wondering.

This was all your idea.

But obviously your feelings for her

were part of the equation.

Okay, so, uh...

in six months,

I fell in love,

and I bought a ginormous house.

- Pretty much. - You...

You said that you fell in love at first sight.

Then why didn't I at second sight?

What's next on the re-date list?

A sleigh ride from my home.

You hate those things.

I so do.

And we didn't do it last year,

so it's not technically a re-date, but...

Rob had the idea that he wanted to do it last year

before, you know, um...

I just thought it'd be nice to honor his vision.

You act like they're different people.

Well, sometimes they don't feel like the same person.

My Rob loved Christmas and

was so excited to show me all these cheesy

Christmas dates he had planned.

I don't know, new Rob kinda feels like he's

lost his passion for this season.

I'm gonna channel my Psych 101 class

and say that it's probably subconscious protection from...

Me. Yeah.

I'm aware.

Hi. Just a coffee, please.

Thank you.

Over the fields we go,

- laughing all the way. - Oh.

Making spirits bright--

- Hello. - Hi.

Beautiful day for a Christmas carriage ride.

You guys picked a good one.

Great.

Now, if you don't mind, we're gonna take

a couple minutes here because...

Dudley here needs some snacks.

Snack away, Dudley.

- Okay. - Okay.

- Ooh! - Oh.

- Oh. - Here we go.

- Thanks. - Yeah.

Oh.

- Ah! - Yeah.

So... how long have you two lovely people been together?

Uh, about a year.

How'd you meet?

How did we meet?

- Oh. - You don't remember?

It's a long story.

At an antiques fair. Week before Christmas.

Well, I do love an antiques fair.

Yes, you do.

Then what happened?

I outbid you for a 35mm Simplex XL film projector.

My client at the Classic Cinema wanted it.

Impressive.

You were impressed.

I bet I was.

Well, enough to follow me and try to get me to hire you

as an excuse to ask me out.

I'm impressed.

Sir, so sorry.

This song is great,

but do you mind just turning it down?

It's a classic, but okay.

So, tell me more.

Um.

Well, I could tell you were nervous,

despite being chipper.

But that didn't scare you away.

No, no, I was very much interested.

Um.

Was it, uh...

love at first sight for you?

I was, I was told it was for me.

Um.

Sorry.

Is that none of my business?

No, no, of course it is.

Uh, it's just, I...

I don't believe in love at first sight.

Well, me either.

I mean, this me.

Maybe I did before, but.

So, uh, why don't you?

I was married.

15 years ago, in college.

It didn't even last a year.

And...

I stopped believing in happily ever afters.

Did you tell me you didn't believe

in happily ever afters after?

Actually, no.

Alrighty then.

Let's start heading out.

- Giddy up, Dudley! - Oh!

You, uh, you okay over there?

That, that bench was, like,

lacking some-- - Padding?

- Right. Yeah, exactly. - Yeah.

It's just for decoration or what?

Oh, and I'm pretty sure I'm gonna smell

like Dudley all night.

But honestly, I had a really good time.

Me too.

Do you, do you want to...

you wanna get something to eat?

I know this really cool place just around the corner.

They do really delicious Christmas kebabs.

You know,

red, green peppers, mozzarella.

You know, uh, Christmassy.

It's delicious.

Actually, I don't know if it's open, let me just check.

Oh, I just--

I just got a text from my old neighbor.

Oh, I know Mr. Shipley.

Right, right. Of course. Yeah, he's...

Yeah, his stove's just gone out

in the middle of his holiday bake.

He's got a family get-together tomorrow.

He's asked if I could go fix it.

Oh well, let's go, let's go fix it.

We can get some food after.

- Yeah? - Yeah.

Okay, cool.

Um.

Kinda deviating pretty majorly from the re-dating plan, though.

I think we can handle it.

I think we can too.

- Okay. - Okay.

- Shall we? - We shall.

Let's go.

But why antiques?

I mean, it doesn't seem like a career for a young person.

It was a family business, actually.

My grandparents opened the shop in the 1950s.

And before that, it was a kind of pawn shop.

And it sort of expanded throughout the years

into what it is today.

Why did you choose it? I mean, you didn't have to.

I felt comfortable there.

When I was a kid, I was always moving around a lot,

going from one parent's house to the other, and...

Plus I was always losing my toys

and things that meant something to me.

You know, leaving them behind.

Oh, that had to have been hard.

It was what it was.

But I would go to the shop and I got to play with

the toys there, as long as they weren't too fragile.

My, uh, my dad, he would hold some back for me

and I just loved them so much.

I probably put a little bit too much projection

on the things there, but...

Which is childish, but,

you know, I was a child.

I don't think that's childish.

Well, you're my boyfriend. You have to say that.

No, I'm just saying it 'cause it's true.

Well, thanks.

You know what?

I'm feeling pretty hungry.

We can get Christmas kebabs another time.

Anyone for pizza?

- I vote yes. - Seconded.

Motion for pizza passed.

- Yes! - I'll get the menus.

That was good, I just ate too much of it.

So, uh, last month you mentioned a pop-up igloo restaurant

that was back on a rooftop in Midtown--

Yeah, you know what?

Can I just stop you there for a second?

Yeah. Is everything okay?

Yeah, yeah, it's just...

these re-dates we've been going on,

they feel kind of forced.

Not your fault at all.

It's just, like...

Pop-up igloo restaurant. A tree museum thing.

It's not really me.

Oh, okay.

But, um, Doctor Fisher's idea

to have you regain your memories was to have you

re-experience things that you did last year,

you talked about, and...

Yeah, but you were with me for that year, right?

So...

as long as you're with me going forward,

we're following doctor's orders.

Fair enough.

Fair enough. Uh, so what did you have in mind?

I don't know.

I don't know, but...

It's gonna be better if I'm my actual self

instead of whoever I was pretending to be.

So, did you make the reservation for Christmas Eve pancakes?

Always do.

What?

It's where I met Rob.

Uh, how's he doing?

Uh, no change yet.

That must be hard

on him and on you.

It is, but...

Rob's worth it.

Hey, um, how's Susan doing? You haven't mentioned her much.

She's in Albuquerque.

Oh, I thought, I thought you two were

spending the holidays together.

She's visiting her sister for the holidays.

Guys, guys!

I just found a French Empire and ebonized gilt bronze

mantle clock.

It's like Christmas morning.

- Where? - Over here.

Christmas auction venue... locked.

Aunt Josie's caterers just confirmed for the 22nd.

Excellent. The Steinway and the Norwegian sleigh

are scheduled for delivery the day before the auction.

Well, that's two days after our cookie night.

I should be recovered in time to be there for that.

Maybe.

Oh.

Oh.

The only outstanding item is the jukebox.

Rob said he's close.

Well, we need photos for the website.

Okay, I will go over there and take those.

Good. Though...

Let's be prepared if the jukebox doesn't arrive on time.

I don't wanna force Rob,

given everything he's gone through.

I mean, he was fine when we saw him last week.

Though he's still off about Christmas.

He gave Craig and me his extra holiday decorations

because he thought he had too much.

There's something more going on with him.

I can feel it.

For-for Rob to have lost all his memories

of his time with Kathryn, and his love for Christmas?

That's not a coincidence.

I don't know.

Hmm?

I had fun, though.

Yeah, I have fun with you all the time.

You know what I mean.

Wait.

What are you up to?

Well, you're just gonna have to wait and see.

Come on. Come on.

After you.

Whoa.

I don't know what it looked like before,

but it sure looks good now.

You outdid yourself.

The client was thrilled.

So was I.

I'm flattered.

I wish I remember what it was like working on this.

Hey, the show's about to start.

Uh, should we head to the theater?

Actually, could we watch from up here?

Uh...

The bosses say you're VIP, so I'm good.

As long as you stay out of my bubble.

- Okay. - Ooh! Chairs.

Oh, yeah.

- Perfect. - Great.

- Thank you. - Yeah.

So, why didn't you wanna watch from downstairs?

Well, you and I used to watch a lot of movies together.

It's kind of our thing.

And I always wanted to watch from up here.

It just feels...

Romantic.

Mhm.

Oh.

I guess I can tell Mom that the jukebox is ready

for the Christmas auction.

Uh, almost. Still, um...

got a few things to do.

Uh, credit system collaboration.

- Fuse and safety check. - Okay.

Can I still take pics?

Yeah, sure.

Mom needs them for the auction.

Oh, uh, she asked me to pick up her cardamom order

from her favorite spice shop on Mercer.

But I have a last minute meeting now at school.

Oh, I gotta work on the jukebox, and we have plans later.

Well, I can pick it up on my way home

and drop it off to her.

You are a lifesaver. Thank you.

It is for cookie night, and we all know how she gets.

Uh, the...

Do you have the description for the jukebox that you wrote up?

Yes.

Can you grab it?

- Yes. - Thank you.

Don't.

I didn't say anything.

You were thinking it.

I was.

It looked fun.

It was.

Okay. I am going to say something now.

Okay.

Rob.

He has wanted to get married ever since he was,

like, 12 years old.

And not just to anyone, he was very specific about that.

Even as a kid, he used to say that he would rather be alone

than settle, and he meant it.

And he's been on plenty of dates over the years,

and he has walked away from all of them,

without even looking back.

But he didn't walk away from you.

If Rob proposed to you,

you're it for him. Okay?

And I guess what I'm wondering is...

Is he it for you?

Here, let me know if that works.

Good enough.

Good enough.

- Bye. - See ya.

Where were we?

Oh, yeah. More dancing.

Kathryn.

Cardamom?

Oh. Thank you, dear.

Please come in.

How is he?

Um... getting there.

He's more himself every day.

But no memories.

Not yet. That I can tell.

I've been keeping it safe.

Does it fit?

I don't know.

Because you never put it on, did you?

- But he proposed. - He did.

And you...

Panicked.

And ran off.

Oh.

I see.

Should I--

Do you want me to stop with the re-dates?

Um...

No, dear, I think this is...

I think this is the right course of action for now.

Okay. Chocolate chip cookies.

Let's keep the party going.

Yeah.

All right.

Where is the remote?

Uh, I...

Ah. Thank you.

Now, what movie would you like to watch?

- Oh. - Oh.

Whoa.

It's really coming down out there.

I don't think you can drive home in this.

Huh.

Looks like you're staying.

- So... - Mm-hmm.

I have nearly finished the jukebox.

Ooh! How do you feel?

Hmm.

I'm a little sad, if I'm being honest.

You know, I put my heart and soul into it,

spent every day on it, and now I've just gotta

let it go.

I've made some really nice memories.

So.

Big Ashford family cookie baking night tomorrow night.

What are the chances you're coming with me?

Pretty good. You know, I did survive last year.

Thank you.

Yeah, barely. According to Amy.

She's... right.

I... I did feel a little bit like Sarah Jessica Parker

in The Family Stone .

Just completely out of sync with everybody else.

Well, that's probably why I took you

to such a fancy place after.

To be clear, I do like all sorts of places.

But my favorite nights were always our movie nights.

No agenda.

Nobody trying to impress the other person.

Just kinda like tonight.

Okay.

Let me get this straight.

We met at an antiques fair.

Then I took you to my family's cookie baking night.

Then we went to Chez Florence.

And then we were dating for a year.

That pretty much sums it up.

Big question.

When was our first kiss?

Uh, well, it was the night I got back from skiing.

I was getting ready for bed and then I heard a sound outside.

I went to go check it out, I opened the door

and you were standing on my porch,

leaving a gift at my doorstep,

trying to be all stealth and so not succeeding.

What was the gift?

It was a small, plastic snowglobe

with the figure of a man pulling the woman on the sled

through the snow.

We'd talked about sledding before.

And you just said,

I was in the neighborhood, at midnight,

with a fully wrapped gift, with a bow and everything.

Oh.

I'm a terrible liar.

Yeah, you are.

You really are.

And, um,

you were so caught

and so cute.

And I just

pulled you by your jacket and pulled you in.

You kissed me first?

I had to.

It was beyond my control.

And you went home and we texted until 3:00 AM,

and then you took me to dinner.

And just like that, dating.

Well, I like this story better than the movie we didn't watch.

I do love you.

- Hey. - Hey.

The power come back on?

Yeah, just now and, uh,

- I have Wi-Fi again, so. - Mm-hm.

What time is it?

It's very early o'clock.

- I should, uh-- - No.

You don't have to go.

Well, I should

change, get back to the shop.

Just, um...

Don't forget cookie night tonight.

Oh, I will be ready this time.

Okay.

Thank you for letting me crash here last night.

Yeah. Of course.

Yeah. Um.

Even if you did beat me in every hand of cards.

I warned you I was a shark.

Well, you just wait till the rematch.

It won't do you any good.

Um.

Um. So.

6:00 PM.

Yeah. 6:00 PM.

- I'll see you there. - Mm-hmm.

Hey.

- Hey. - Any chance we can move

Christmas Eve pancakes to tomorrow?

Sure. Is everything okay?

It's fine. We'll talk more then.

Okay.

Cryptic much?

As ever.

- Here. - Oh, thanks.

Oh, and for the record,

if this goes sideways, I am not taking you

to Chez Florence again. Once a year's enough.

Well, that's okay, because you

still owe me Christmas kebabs.

Oh, that's on the agenda whatever way this goes.

Good.

Hey, family. Oh!

Rob!

Hey. Hey.

Finally.

She's back for round two!

And I'm all warmed up.

Oh. Sounds like we have to up our goal by

couple of hundred?

Easy there now, Dad.

Welcome, welcome.

All right. - Glad you're here.

All right. Who wants to do the honors?

- Not it! Not me. - No, no, no.

- I'll take it. - Oh! We got a taker.

Take a bite.

Take a bite!

Take a bite!

Ah! Oh, whoa!

Well done. Well done.

Okay.

This is my station. You're there.

We gotta melt the snowmen. That looks good.

Hey, can you focus?

- What? - Get to work.

- Okay. - Yeah.

We have the schools covered. Honey? Thank you.

Yes! High five. - Okay.

High five. - Jets game Sunday?

Yes. Definitely. Okay. Bye.

- Good job, kiddo. - Thank you.

- Rob. - Dad.

- Drive safe. - Bye-bye.

- Thank you, dear. - Thank you.

Don't work too hard.

Okay. Bye.

Okay.

Wanna get some fresh air first?

Yeah. Yeah.

- Good. - I really do.

I had a memory the other day.

You were laughing

and

you looked really beautiful.

In that moment, I remembered being in love with you.

What else do you remember?

Impressions.

Smells. Sounds. Feelings.

Kathryn?

Yeah?

I really wanted to kiss you this morning.

This me.

The man that met you three weeks ago.

I, um,

I really wanted to kiss you, too.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Want me to make you something warm to drink?

Okay.

Okay.

I'll be right back.

Mm-hmm.

- I'm leaving now. - Okay.

- Any second. Just-- - All right.

Don't move.

Two shots of peppermint, one shot of vanilla,

three shakes of cinnamon, no foam creamer.

Hi. I'd like one large hot cocoa,

two shots of peppermint, one shot of vanilla,

three shakes of cinnamon, and no foam creamer.

Once it's repaired.

A proper date.

I love you, Kathryn Liu.

And I want this. With you.

Every Christmas.

I'm sorry.

Rob?

Rob.

Rob.

Uh.

Why'd you do this?

What do you mean?

These past three weeks.

All of it.

Be with me.

Let everyone believe you're my fiancée,

when we both know you weren't.

Aren't.

I just wanted to help you get your memories back.

That's what Doctor Fisher said, so--

I remember what Doctor Fisher said.

I remember everything.

You trying to hurt me?

No! Never.

Because it's--

it's what it feels like.

No.

I just wanted to help you be you again.

I proposed to you.

And you left. You-you ran away

like you couldn't get away fast enough for me.

Oh, and, uh,

turn around and pretend you said yes.

To me.

To my friends.

My family.

Uh, I'm not really in a place to talk right now, actually.

Rob. Come on.

It's okay.

I'll just, uh.

I'll get a ride home later.

So, all in all, to sum it up,

I guess I'm just not good at dating.

Maybe that's partly my fault.

How is that your fault?

I should've been a better example.

Been more consistent and been more

transparent with you.

Mhm.

I didn't tell you, but...

Susan and I broke up a month ago.

What?

Dad, I thought you two were good.

We were.

But it was time for me to step up, and I didn't.

Why didn't you tell me this sooner?

Because I wasn't ready to admit it yet.

And I didn't want it to be true.

That I messed up again.

Susan went to Albuquerque to be with her sister for Christmas.

I'm sorry, Dad.

Normally, I'd let that be that, but...

I'm old enough now to know my own patterns, and...

I wanna fix them while I can.

You know, I don't think of you as somebody who doesn't step up.

Honey.

I've been running away my whole adult life.

I simply got good at hiding it.

Like I did with your mom.

I gave up too easily when things got hard.

That's my biggest regret.

And a habit I have to break.

You've... you've never told me that.

Some wisdom takes longer to figure out.

And some I chose not to see.

And that's the thing, Kathryn.

The Liu's bad luck in relationships

isn't fate or being romantically jinxed.

It's about choices.

You were a starry-eyed kid when you married the first time.

Before I learned anything useful to share with you.

And when your marriage didn't work out,

you went so far in the other direction,

you stopped letting anyone in.

Until Rob.

Well...

I colossally messed things up with Rob.

Here's what I see.

For weeks you've been fighting for him, stepped up,

even when you knew it'd cost you.

But that's, that's different.

Is it?

Because watching you fight for him like that made me realize

I've never done the same.

Not really.

Which was my own choice.

But I can choose to do different now.

And so can you.

I don't think so, Dad.

Is he dating someone else?

No.

Married?

No.

Moving to the other side of the country?

No.

Then it's not too late.

Not if you really wanna try.

Hmm.

You either.

I know.

That's why I moved Christmas pancakes to today.

I'm going to Albuquerque tomorrow

to do the grand gesture.

Maybe you should try something like that, too.

But first,

eat your pancakes before they get cold.

What are you talking about? You--

you had something to do with this?

Yes, yes. I encouraged her to re-date you,

but she was gonna do it anyway, Rob, I could tell.

- Oh, you could tell? - Yeah.

I guess guilt's a powerful motivator.

Guilt doesn't make someone dance with you in your workshop

or endure a second night of making a seriously crazy amount

of cookies with your family.

She wasn't phoning it in.

I don't know.

I can't get over the image of

of reaching for the ring and Kathryn just--

running away.

Do you even know why she did that?

I don't have a clue.

Maybe it's time you find out.

Ask her.

- Hi. - Hi.

I was wondering if we could talk.

Yeah. Of course.

Um, can I get you some tea?

Maybe some gingerbread spice?

No. No, I'm okay.

Thanks for seeing me.

- Of course. - No, not of course. Uh.

I was off last night, and we didn't get to talk.

Well, you were experiencing a lot.

I was.

But I'm okay now.

Or I'm getting there.

I have questions.

Okay.

Ask them.

Why'd you run away that night?

From the proposal. From me.

Well, at the time that it happened, I...

I didn't really know why.

Although I've been thinking about it nonstop ever since.

And?

You always called me perfect.

And I'm so not.

You know, I always felt like

my family had this terrible track record

when it comes to love.

My-my parents, my marriage.

My dad, twice over.

And I just, in a way, I've spent my entire adult life

just waiting for the thing that I love the most to disappear.

And in that moment

when you're proposing and it's about to

suddenly become very real and very permanent,

something in me just seized because...

in my experience, permanent things break.

You didn't want us to break?

But we did anyhow.

And you re-dated me because--

You deserve to have your memories.

Oh, so you were just being kind.

I couldn't walk away from you, Rob.

Even though I probably should've.

I owe you an apology.

For what?

For putting you on a pedestal without ever asking

if you wanted to be there.

I thought it was a compliment. It wasn't. It was pressure.

And I think some part of you knew that what I was

in love with was a version of you that

I'd built in my head.

You were just

waiting for me to figure that out.

Yeah, but I should've said something.

It's a pretty hard subject to bring up.

But I know you, you would've said something

eventually if I didn't push the proposal on you.

I...

Are you still angry with me?

No.

I'm just sad.

Feels like I lost you twice.

But I'm also really grateful.

Grateful?

You did the hard thing in taking care of me.

You stepped up. You could've just

left it with my family.

Rob, you mean so much to me.

I need you to know that.

I do know that.

And I also know that I wasn't fully showing up as myself.

Not until after the accident.

I did notice you were more comfortable being you.

When you forgot you were in love with me.

I mean, don't we deserve to be with the person who brings out

the truest version of ourselves?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Thank you so much.

Good morning.

Meryl. Hi.

Not expecting me, I get it.

But I was on my way to run a few quick errands

for the Christmas auction tonight,

and, um...

one of them is this.

Uh, I recognize this is embarrassingly last minute,

but to be fair,

I assumed you would be going with Rob.

No.

Which means you'll simply have to attend solo.

I don't think that's wise.

Isn't it?

Kathryn.

Did you know that

before Dave and I got engaged, he proposed to me three times.

Three?

- That surprises you. - Yeah.

I just always envisioned you two

being perfect from the start.

Oh, honey.

No one is perfect.

And I didn't hesitate with Dave because I didn't love him.

I did love him.

I simply...

I simply needed to feel safe enough to say yes.

Which is my own story.

The point is...

some people need an extra beat.

Or two.

Regardless of their reason.

And there is nothing wrong with that.

Thank you all for coming. Thank you very much.

It's good to see you. Hey! Hello.

So, uh, how's it going here?

- All good, Dad. - Good.

It's just... memories.

Yeah.

You're looking sharp.

Thanks.

Is this on?

Hello, hello!

Thank you all for being here this evening.

As a reminder, every item you bid on tonight,

all the proceeds will go directly towards the new

children's wing at Grandview General Hospital.

So, I encourage you to bid generously.

And with that, let the auction commence.

Our first item this evening is a Norwegian Christmas sleigh

circa 1890.

And now the final item of the evening,

and one of my favorites.

A fully refurbished 1946 Wurlitzer 1015 jukebox.

Restored by local craftsman Robert Ashford,

and donated by his mother, tonight's co-chairwoman,

Meryl Ashford.

I think we can all agree this one's a real beauty, and...

it's full of Christmas songs.

Let's start the bidding at $10,000.

Do I have $10,000? I got $10,000.

I got $10,000. Do I have 12?

I need $12,000. I got $12,000.

Number six-- 14. Thank you very much.

How about 15? Anyone here?

$15,000? 15. Excellent.

Great work, everyone. All goes to charity.

Are you sure about this?

- Positive. - I've got $15,000.

Now I need 16. Anyone at 16-- I got $16,000.

Thank you, everyone. $17,000. Thank you, sir.

We've got $17,000.

All I need is $18,000.

Who's got 18? $18,000? Thank you very much, ma'am.

How about 19? Anyone over for 19?

Come on, everyone, this is for the kids.

We've got 19. Sure. We have $19,000.

$19,000. Thank you, sir.

Now, let's see if we can take things up a notch.

Who here wants to push things past 19?

Maybe we could take it to 20.

$25,000.

$25,000. Anyone else?

Sold to the lady in the green dress!

Go. Rob, go!

Oh. Hey, hey.

- So, did you find her? - No. It's like she vanished.

Did she at least leave a note

or a glass slipper this time or something?

- Craig. - I don't get it.

I don't get why she outbid me for the jukebox.

- Doesn't make sense. - The auction card.

She requested that the jukebox be delivered to your house.

She just left.

You left before I could ask you to dance.

Look at you,

remembering your love of Christmas.

I remember all my loves.

Even the ones that just, uh,

swiped my jukebox, like they swiped my projector.

I had to.

You put yourself into everything you restore.

But especially this one.

It had to be yours.

It's my Christmas gift to you.

Although I won't be able to wrap it and leave it

on your porch by midnight.

It's okay.

Maybe you can come over.

Help me find a place to put it.

And maybe we can have that dance?

I'd love that.

Here's the thing, Kathryn.

I've fallen in love with you twice now.

First time I thought I knew you. Second time I really did.

And...

I know it's complicated.

I know we've been through a lot.

And I know you might wanna

steer clear of me.

But if you're up for it

and you're not doing anything else tonight...

I'd really like to take you on a third first date.

Well, here's the thing.

And it's super important.

I love you, too, Rob Ashford.

Every part of you.

And I always will.

So, I guess that's a yes to the date.

It's a yes to everything.
