2
00:01:13,551 --> 00:01:15,067
Hey, Joy!
3
00:01:16,437 --> 00:01:17,369
Ready?
4
00:01:17,404 --> 00:01:18,537
You bet.
5
00:01:18,572 --> 00:01:23,108
Let's go knock the socks
off Weatherton's.
6
00:01:23,144 --> 00:01:26,311
Okay, we are coming to the end
of our time as a focus group,
7
00:01:26,347 --> 00:01:28,113
but I just want to pose
one last question.
8
00:01:28,149 --> 00:01:30,783
Since you're all
shoppers of Weatherton's,
9
00:01:30,818 --> 00:01:32,451
how would you sum up
your experience?
10
00:01:34,688 --> 00:01:37,022
I love it,
especially at Christmas.
11
00:01:37,057 --> 00:01:39,057
Yes, I just love
the Weatherton's store.
12
00:01:39,093 --> 00:01:40,692
They do such a wonderful job
13
00:01:40,728 --> 00:01:42,995
of making it feel warm
and welcoming.
14
00:01:43,030 --> 00:01:44,863
But classy, too.
15
00:01:44,899 --> 00:01:46,331
You know
you're getting the best.
16
00:01:46,367 --> 00:01:47,800
Well, that's wonderful to hear.
17
00:01:47,835 --> 00:01:49,368
That's very valuable.
18
00:01:49,436 --> 00:01:51,476
Now, how would you say
the Weatherton's experience
19
00:01:51,505 --> 00:01:54,573
is different from other stores?
20
00:01:54,608 --> 00:01:57,442
It's one of the stores
I make a point of going into.
21
00:01:57,478 --> 00:01:59,211
You can't really know
if something's right
22
00:01:59,246 --> 00:02:00,579
unless you see yourself in it.
23
00:02:04,552 --> 00:02:07,986
I still prefer
to do my Christmas shopping online,
24
00:02:08,022 --> 00:02:09,988
but I'll come in
for the hot cocoa bar.
25
00:02:10,024 --> 00:02:12,357
That does seem to be
quite popular.
26
00:02:12,426 --> 00:02:15,727
Okay, I think that about covers it.
Thank you so much for your time.
27
00:02:15,763 --> 00:02:18,964
- Where's your research director?
- Margie Carter?
28
00:02:19,033 --> 00:02:21,567
She couldn't make it this time.
29
00:02:21,602 --> 00:02:23,268
Or last time
either, as I recall.
30
00:02:26,006 --> 00:02:28,507
Joy is very good at this.
31
00:02:28,542 --> 00:02:31,176
They're ready for you upstairs,
Mrs. Weatherton.
32
00:02:38,319 --> 00:02:39,151
Mrs. Weatherton?
33
00:02:39,220 --> 00:02:42,721
- Had to go to a meeting.
- Probably for the best.
34
00:02:42,756 --> 00:02:44,234
Margie doesn't like it
when we talk to the clients.
35
00:02:44,258 --> 00:02:47,359
- Mrs. Weatherton mentioned you.
- Me? Specifically?
36
00:02:47,394 --> 00:02:49,339
She thought you were doing
a good job with the focus group.
37
00:02:49,363 --> 00:02:51,530
Well, I should be,
I've done enough to last a lifetime.
38
00:02:51,565 --> 00:02:53,065
Not for much longer.
39
00:02:53,133 --> 00:02:54,733
That's not guaranteed.
40
00:02:54,802 --> 00:02:56,935
You've been working 24/7
since I've known you.
41
00:02:56,971 --> 00:02:58,481
They're going to announce
your promotion
42
00:02:58,505 --> 00:03:00,405
at the Christmas Gala,
and you know it.
43
00:03:00,441 --> 00:03:01,506
We'll see.
44
00:03:01,575 --> 00:03:03,909
- Do you have your dress yet?
- For The Gala?
45
00:03:03,944 --> 00:03:04,910
Who's had time to shop?
46
00:03:04,945 --> 00:03:05,878
Why? Do you?
47
00:03:05,913 --> 00:03:09,548
No, but it just so happens,
we did a focus group
48
00:03:09,583 --> 00:03:12,985
at a legendary
department store, so...
49
00:03:20,127 --> 00:03:21,660
I love shopping at Weatherton's.
50
00:03:32,006 --> 00:03:33,105
So cute.
51
00:03:33,173 --> 00:03:34,539
I know...
52
00:03:52,059 --> 00:03:54,359
That is pretty.
53
00:03:54,395 --> 00:03:56,895
It's just like the dress
I was thinking of for the Gala.
54
00:03:56,931 --> 00:03:58,664
My mom gave me
a Christmas ornament once
55
00:03:58,699 --> 00:04:00,232
that was exactly this color.
56
00:04:03,237 --> 00:04:05,637
It looks very expensive.
57
00:04:05,673 --> 00:04:08,907
But this is my dress.
58
00:04:08,943 --> 00:04:11,410
That's one of
my favorites this year.
59
00:04:11,445 --> 00:04:12,377
Mrs. Weatherton!
60
00:04:12,413 --> 00:04:15,113
Hello, Joy.
Renee.
61
00:04:15,149 --> 00:04:17,616
Good to see you're a shopper
at Weatherton's as well.
62
00:04:17,685 --> 00:04:19,017
Of course.
63
00:04:20,821 --> 00:04:21,887
So, about earlier,
64
00:04:21,922 --> 00:04:23,442
how did you think
the focus group went?
65
00:04:24,491 --> 00:04:27,793
As you know,
we have to read the transcripts
66
00:04:27,828 --> 00:04:28,760
and write up the report...
67
00:04:28,796 --> 00:04:30,529
Yes, I do know all that.
68
00:04:30,597 --> 00:04:33,432
I've been a MacDonald-Webber
client for many years.
69
00:04:34,601 --> 00:04:36,001
But I want to know
what you think.
70
00:04:36,070 --> 00:04:37,536
Gut instinct.
71
00:04:37,571 --> 00:04:38,770
How did they respond
72
00:04:38,806 --> 00:04:42,007
to shopping here
at Weatherton's, in store?
73
00:04:45,412 --> 00:04:46,478
Very positive.
74
00:04:47,881 --> 00:04:50,515
People love your store,
especially this time of year.
75
00:04:50,551 --> 00:04:52,684
I remember once
when I was a little girl,
76
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,164
my mom drove four hours
out of the way
77
00:04:54,188 --> 00:04:56,421
to bring me
Christmas shopping here.
78
00:04:56,457 --> 00:04:58,557
It's one of
my favorite memories.
79
00:04:58,592 --> 00:05:02,094
You can't recreate that on a website,
no matter how hard you try.
80
00:05:04,598 --> 00:05:10,569
This particular shade of green
will look perfect on you.
81
00:05:12,339 --> 00:05:14,640
- Is the car ready?
- Yes, Mrs. Weatherton...
82
00:05:20,114 --> 00:05:21,713
You shouldn't
have said anything.
83
00:05:23,584 --> 00:05:26,830
- I know, Margie, I'm sorry...
- I know, she put you on the spot.
84
00:05:26,854 --> 00:05:27,953
What's going on?
85
00:05:28,022 --> 00:05:30,022
It's not like her to be so...
insistent.
86
00:05:30,057 --> 00:05:32,090
Poppy Weatherton is considering
87
00:05:32,159 --> 00:05:34,893
expanding Weatherton's
outside of the D.C. area.
88
00:05:34,962 --> 00:05:37,863
- That's a good idea...
- Not good idea.
89
00:05:37,898 --> 00:05:40,866
Cyber shopping is the arc
of the future, not stores.
90
00:05:41,235 --> 00:05:42,603
All of our research shows that.
91
00:05:42,671 --> 00:05:45,298
But Weatherton's
isn't like most other stores.
92
00:05:45,496 --> 00:05:47,083
People actually like
going there.
93
00:05:47,107 --> 00:05:49,608
I realize your mother took you
there when you were little,
94
00:05:49,677 --> 00:05:51,076
and it's a very sweet story,
95
00:05:51,145 --> 00:05:52,411
but completely incidental
96
00:05:52,479 --> 00:05:54,880
to the MacDonald-Webber
overall assessment.
97
00:05:54,949 --> 00:05:57,549
- We deal in data, Joy.
- I know.
98
00:05:57,618 --> 00:06:00,185
Just make sure that our
reports reflect those facts,
99
00:06:00,254 --> 00:06:02,956
...not your personal sentiment.
Understand?
100
00:06:15,770 --> 00:06:17,403
Happy holidays, Crystal Falls.
101
00:06:17,438 --> 00:06:19,505
It's a beautiful
North Carolina morning
102
00:06:19,540 --> 00:06:21,473
and to celebrate
the Christmas season,
103
00:06:21,509 --> 00:06:23,976
tune in as we keep an eye
on the temperatures,
104
00:06:24,011 --> 00:06:24,777
we may be getting a white
Christmas, but...
105
00:06:24,812 --> 00:06:26,245
Hey!
106
00:06:26,280 --> 00:06:28,320
...But tune in later,
we'll tell you all about it.
107
00:06:39,327 --> 00:06:40,225
Good morning, Ben.
108
00:06:40,261 --> 00:06:41,360
Good morning.
109
00:06:41,395 --> 00:06:43,862
Be sure they save some of that
for me to do later.
110
00:06:43,898 --> 00:06:45,342
You never get enough
Christmas, do you?
111
00:06:45,366 --> 00:06:46,366
Never.
112
00:06:50,438 --> 00:06:52,071
Aunt Ruby...
113
00:06:52,106 --> 00:06:53,172
Merry Christmas.
114
00:07:30,211 --> 00:07:32,778
Five times lucky
in the Cookie Crawl, Ben.
115
00:07:32,813 --> 00:07:35,180
Let's do it again.
116
00:08:18,659 --> 00:08:21,860
Here are the bids for the top three
medical records service companies.
117
00:08:21,929 --> 00:08:23,095
Thanks.
118
00:08:23,130 --> 00:08:25,497
And where are we
with your temp replacement?
119
00:08:25,566 --> 00:08:28,600
Karen's ready to go
as soon as this lil' guy is.
120
00:08:28,636 --> 00:08:30,302
Which is after Christmas, right?
121
00:08:30,371 --> 00:08:33,872
Well, we're in that final
two-week window, so... maybe?
122
00:08:35,676 --> 00:08:38,178
You were totally thinking
about your mom
123
00:08:38,212 --> 00:08:39,678
and the gingerbread contest.
124
00:08:39,714 --> 00:08:42,314
- Does that make me a bad boss?
- No.
125
00:08:42,349 --> 00:08:43,949
No, but what's done is done.
126
00:08:43,984 --> 00:08:48,854
It's your turn to participate.
Your mom is counting on you.
127
00:08:48,889 --> 00:08:49,922
The entries are complete,
128
00:08:49,957 --> 00:08:52,135
the decorating team has been
picked and knows what to do.
129
00:08:52,159 --> 00:08:55,272
Relax, you have a judge
other than yourself this year.
130
00:08:55,296 --> 00:08:57,563
But you have to be
at the contest.
131
00:08:57,598 --> 00:08:59,665
I'm gonna do my best,
132
00:08:59,700 --> 00:09:01,734
but I'm not the only one
with a say in this matter.
133
00:09:01,802 --> 00:09:03,669
I know, and...
134
00:09:03,704 --> 00:09:05,137
if I have to take over
135
00:09:05,172 --> 00:09:07,773
judging responsibilities
myself again, I will.
136
00:09:07,808 --> 00:09:09,141
I'm sure Mom will understand.
137
00:09:10,911 --> 00:09:12,578
No, she won't.
138
00:09:19,553 --> 00:09:20,753
You're the best!
139
00:09:20,788 --> 00:09:21,854
Thank you so much.
140
00:09:21,889 --> 00:09:23,133
Hey, how'd it go yesterday
with Margie?
141
00:09:23,157 --> 00:09:24,690
I don't know why
142
00:09:24,725 --> 00:09:26,625
I kept blabbering on
about Poppy Weatherton.
143
00:09:28,529 --> 00:09:29,862
Sorry.
144
00:09:33,734 --> 00:09:34,800
Hello?
145
00:09:34,835 --> 00:09:35,934
Joy?
146
00:09:35,970 --> 00:09:37,870
Joy, hi! It's...
It's Shirley Andrews.
147
00:09:37,905 --> 00:09:38,971
Mrs. Andrews, hi!
148
00:09:39,039 --> 00:09:39,972
How are you?
149
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,108
I'm fine, I'm good, but,
I'm afraid your aunt isn't.
150
00:09:43,177 --> 00:09:44,543
What's wrong?
151
00:09:44,578 --> 00:09:45,978
Well...
152
00:09:46,013 --> 00:09:48,492
she was reaching for some supplies
for the Cookie Crawl, and she...
153
00:09:48,516 --> 00:09:49,659
she slipped and broke her ankle.
154
00:09:49,683 --> 00:09:51,818
Well, is she okay?
Can I talk to her?
155
00:09:51,852 --> 00:09:54,064
No, no, I'm just home
getting a few things,
156
00:09:54,088 --> 00:09:56,333
but I want to get back to the
hospital before her surgery.
157
00:09:56,357 --> 00:09:57,756
Surgery?
158
00:09:57,792 --> 00:09:59,436
Look, I don't want you
to worry about this, Joy,
159
00:09:59,460 --> 00:10:01,126
she's gonna be fine.
160
00:10:01,162 --> 00:10:03,195
She told me she didn't
want me to call you
161
00:10:03,230 --> 00:10:04,129
and worry you, but...
162
00:10:04,198 --> 00:10:06,999
but I figured you're family,
you should know.
163
00:10:07,034 --> 00:10:08,500
Yes, absolutely.
164
00:10:08,536 --> 00:10:09,568
Thank you so much.
165
00:10:09,603 --> 00:10:10,869
Okay, bye, Joy.
166
00:10:10,905 --> 00:10:12,371
What's going on?
167
00:10:12,406 --> 00:10:13,372
My aunt got hurt.
168
00:10:13,407 --> 00:10:14,873
I have to go.
169
00:10:14,942 --> 00:10:17,709
Do you want me to write
the Weatherton's report?
170
00:10:17,778 --> 00:10:19,011
No, that's okay.
171
00:10:19,079 --> 00:10:21,814
I have my laptop,
172
00:10:21,849 --> 00:10:24,116
I'll write it
when I get to Crystal Falls.
173
00:10:24,151 --> 00:10:25,784
Crystal Falls?
174
00:10:25,820 --> 00:10:28,420
It's the closest thing
I have to a home.
175
00:11:13,133 --> 00:11:14,366
Wait...
176
00:11:14,401 --> 00:11:15,401
Are you okay?
177
00:11:15,436 --> 00:11:17,002
Yeah...
178
00:11:18,272 --> 00:11:19,605
Ben?
179
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:20,672
Hey, Joy.
180
00:11:20,708 --> 00:11:21,974
Ben Andrews?
181
00:11:22,009 --> 00:11:22,908
Long time no see.
182
00:11:22,977 --> 00:11:24,810
Yeah.
183
00:11:24,845 --> 00:11:26,022
Though it's kinda hard
to miss you like this.
184
00:11:26,046 --> 00:11:27,646
Well, just...
trying to make an entrance.
185
00:11:27,681 --> 00:11:28,681
I see that.
186
00:11:30,651 --> 00:11:33,253
Ruby is around the corner,
three doors down.
187
00:11:33,287 --> 00:11:34,219
My mom's with her right now.
188
00:11:34,255 --> 00:11:37,122
- Are you visiting, too?
- Nope, this is my place.
189
00:11:37,191 --> 00:11:38,457
Hospital administrator.
190
00:11:38,525 --> 00:11:41,526
So are you trying
to drum up some business?
191
00:11:41,562 --> 00:11:43,262
You found me out.
192
00:11:43,330 --> 00:11:44,441
Well, I hope visiting hours
aren't over.
193
00:11:44,465 --> 00:11:45,542
Visiting hours are never over.
194
00:11:45,566 --> 00:11:46,832
Never?
195
00:11:46,867 --> 00:11:48,100
Nope.
196
00:11:48,135 --> 00:11:50,369
This is North Carolina, Joy,
not D.C.
197
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,741
How am I supposed to do
the Cookie Crawl like this?
198
00:11:55,776 --> 00:11:56,909
Ben will take over.
199
00:11:56,944 --> 00:11:58,810
It's a two-person job.
200
00:11:58,879 --> 00:12:00,523
Honey, you just concentrate
on what's important.
201
00:12:00,547 --> 00:12:01,947
You're right.
202
00:12:02,016 --> 00:12:03,415
I just made a cake.
203
00:12:03,450 --> 00:12:05,490
Would you be a friend and
go home and get it for me?
204
00:12:06,053 --> 00:12:08,453
And here I was
worried about you.
205
00:12:08,489 --> 00:12:09,855
Joy!
206
00:12:09,890 --> 00:12:10,890
Did you call her?
207
00:12:10,958 --> 00:12:12,157
Aren't you glad I did?
208
00:12:12,192 --> 00:12:14,092
I sure am.
209
00:12:14,128 --> 00:12:15,527
Did you drive
all the way through?
210
00:12:15,596 --> 00:12:18,063
I stopped to get
your favorite magazines,
211
00:12:18,098 --> 00:12:21,867
so that you won't go stir crazy
and try and take over the place.
212
00:12:22,970 --> 00:12:24,369
How's the patient?
213
00:12:24,405 --> 00:12:26,371
Impatient.
214
00:12:26,407 --> 00:12:27,372
Sounds about right.
215
00:12:27,408 --> 00:12:29,007
It's just a silly ankle.
216
00:12:29,043 --> 00:12:30,053
She is seeing
her doctor tomorrow
217
00:12:30,077 --> 00:12:31,043
for the official word.
218
00:12:31,078 --> 00:12:33,779
You're worrying Joy.
219
00:12:33,814 --> 00:12:35,847
We're all worried
about you, Ruby.
220
00:12:35,883 --> 00:12:36,848
Is that Rocky Road?
221
00:12:36,884 --> 00:12:38,150
The rockiest.
222
00:12:38,185 --> 00:12:39,262
Joy, do you remember my son...
223
00:12:39,286 --> 00:12:40,752
Ben.
224
00:12:40,788 --> 00:12:42,032
We sort of ran into each other
down in the lobby, Mom.
225
00:12:42,056 --> 00:12:43,288
It's been a while.
226
00:12:43,324 --> 00:12:45,335
I think the last time I saw you,
you were headed off to college?
227
00:12:45,359 --> 00:12:46,625
Georgetown.
228
00:12:46,694 --> 00:12:47,859
And you went to...
229
00:12:47,895 --> 00:12:49,194
- Columbia.
- Right.
230
00:12:49,229 --> 00:12:50,195
You became a New Yorker.
231
00:12:50,230 --> 00:12:51,897
Yeah, for a little while.
232
00:12:54,068 --> 00:12:55,734
You know what,
233
00:12:55,803 --> 00:12:57,013
I think we should get out
of Ruby's hair for a bit.
234
00:12:57,037 --> 00:12:59,671
What about my animals?
They need feeding.
235
00:12:59,707 --> 00:13:00,672
I can take care of them.
236
00:13:00,708 --> 00:13:03,475
I was actually planning on
staying at the farm tonight.
237
00:13:03,510 --> 00:13:04,510
Thank you, honey.
238
00:13:05,713 --> 00:13:08,580
The Cookie Crawl! Ben!
What are we going to do?
239
00:13:08,615 --> 00:13:10,349
- It's in seven days!
- No, don't...
240
00:13:10,384 --> 00:13:11,594
Is that the thing
where people buy tickets
241
00:13:11,618 --> 00:13:13,819
to go look at decorations
and eat cookies?
242
00:13:13,854 --> 00:13:16,588
- Christmas cookies.
- Yes.
243
00:13:16,657 --> 00:13:18,501
But there are so many
strong competitors this year!
244
00:13:18,525 --> 00:13:20,525
And your aunt has won
the past four years.
245
00:13:20,561 --> 00:13:21,727
Thanks to Ben.
246
00:13:22,763 --> 00:13:23,996
Ben?
247
00:13:24,031 --> 00:13:27,099
Ruby's co-captain
at your service.
248
00:13:27,134 --> 00:13:29,301
Aunt Ruby, why didn't
you ever ask me
249
00:13:29,336 --> 00:13:30,268
to be your co-captain?
250
00:13:30,304 --> 00:13:31,370
I'm your niece.
251
00:13:31,405 --> 00:13:34,239
Honey, you're
never here anymore.
252
00:13:34,274 --> 00:13:35,073
I might have come home.
253
00:13:35,109 --> 00:13:37,609
- From D.C.?
- Yeah.
254
00:13:37,678 --> 00:13:40,412
- To help with a cookie crawl?
- Is that so crazy?
255
00:13:41,482 --> 00:13:42,482
No.
256
00:13:45,352 --> 00:13:47,130
You know, you guys,
we can discuss this later.
257
00:13:47,154 --> 00:13:48,565
I think we should let Ruby
get some rest.
258
00:13:48,589 --> 00:13:50,122
Okay.
259
00:13:50,157 --> 00:13:52,535
I'll come back tomorrow, so we can
hear what the doctor has to say.
260
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:53,458
Thank you, Joy.
261
00:13:53,494 --> 00:13:54,494
Of course.
262
00:13:55,696 --> 00:13:57,729
It sure is good
seeing you here again.
263
00:13:57,765 --> 00:13:59,398
It's good to see you, too.
264
00:14:03,203 --> 00:14:04,203
Rest up.
265
00:14:30,731 --> 00:14:31,997
Oh, man.
266
00:14:32,032 --> 00:14:34,533
Normally I'd say hindsight is 20/20,
but not in this case.
267
00:14:34,601 --> 00:14:36,001
You're hilarious.
268
00:14:36,070 --> 00:14:38,804
I thought these things
came with cool cameras
269
00:14:38,839 --> 00:14:40,472
and cappuccino makers
or something?
270
00:14:40,541 --> 00:14:41,773
Maybe if I'd had a cappuccino
271
00:14:41,809 --> 00:14:43,609
I would have been able
to use the cool camera.
272
00:14:44,378 --> 00:14:47,345
Do you have a pen and paper?
I gotta leave the truck's owner my info.
273
00:14:47,381 --> 00:14:49,414
The truck's owner knows.
274
00:14:50,984 --> 00:14:52,517
Of course.
275
00:14:52,553 --> 00:14:54,686
I'm so sorry.
276
00:14:54,721 --> 00:14:57,189
You know... you wanna
hear the good news?
277
00:14:57,257 --> 00:14:58,257
My truck's fine.
278
00:15:01,161 --> 00:15:04,362
- But your Mini looks disappointed.
- Disappointed!
279
00:15:04,398 --> 00:15:06,242
That you didn't use the cool camera
to avoid something like this!
280
00:15:06,266 --> 00:15:07,365
Well...
281
00:15:07,401 --> 00:15:08,233
But you wanna hear
more good news?
282
00:15:08,268 --> 00:15:09,334
Can't wait.
283
00:15:09,369 --> 00:15:12,471
I know a guy who can fix that
for the cost of parts and a pizza.
284
00:15:12,506 --> 00:15:14,406
- Seriously?
- Seriously.
285
00:15:14,475 --> 00:15:16,174
My cousin, Zeke.
286
00:15:16,210 --> 00:15:18,210
Take it to his place,
any day but Saturday.
287
00:15:18,278 --> 00:15:20,312
- Zeke?
- Yeah.
288
00:15:20,347 --> 00:15:21,613
Why not Saturday?
289
00:15:21,648 --> 00:15:22,826
He helps out at his parents'
diner on Saturday.
290
00:15:22,850 --> 00:15:24,449
Right.
291
00:15:24,485 --> 00:15:26,229
Yeah. Did you forget
how small this town can be?
292
00:15:26,253 --> 00:15:27,253
Apparently.
293
00:15:28,455 --> 00:15:30,122
Should be good to drive for now,
294
00:15:30,190 --> 00:15:33,191
but, hey, let me know
if the bumper falls off.
295
00:15:37,531 --> 00:15:38,497
Thank you.
296
00:15:38,532 --> 00:15:40,198
You're welcome. Anytime.
297
00:17:10,791 --> 00:17:12,524
Yeah, I got it.
298
00:17:15,329 --> 00:17:16,928
Thanks for carrying
those in, sweetie.
299
00:17:16,964 --> 00:17:18,063
Of course.
300
00:17:19,399 --> 00:17:20,632
If it's okay with you,
301
00:17:20,667 --> 00:17:21,811
I think I'm going to swing by
later this week
302
00:17:21,835 --> 00:17:23,435
to pick up the decorations
for the Crawl.
303
00:17:23,470 --> 00:17:24,603
I'm kind of tired.
304
00:17:24,638 --> 00:17:25,748
Are you still planning
to do that? Alone?
305
00:17:25,772 --> 00:17:26,838
Sure.
306
00:17:26,873 --> 00:17:29,874
I'll have to start even earlier
now that Ruby's out of commission.
307
00:17:29,910 --> 00:17:31,543
It's just a lot of work
for one person.
308
00:17:31,578 --> 00:17:32,644
Hi, honey.
309
00:17:32,679 --> 00:17:33,812
Hey...
310
00:17:33,847 --> 00:17:35,814
Dad, what's wrong?
311
00:17:35,849 --> 00:17:38,116
I just finished watching
"It's A Wonderful Life".
312
00:17:38,151 --> 00:17:41,019
It gets me every time.
313
00:17:41,088 --> 00:17:42,187
You are such a softy.
314
00:17:42,256 --> 00:17:44,122
That's why you love me.
315
00:17:44,157 --> 00:17:45,991
Do you remember
Ruby's niece, Joy?
316
00:17:46,059 --> 00:17:47,959
She came to see her
today in the hospital.
317
00:17:48,028 --> 00:17:49,594
Drove all the way
from Washington D.C.
318
00:17:49,630 --> 00:17:51,429
- Well, that was nice of her.
- I know.
319
00:17:51,498 --> 00:17:52,597
I can't believe she said
320
00:17:52,666 --> 00:17:53,810
she'd come back
to help with the Crawl.
321
00:17:53,834 --> 00:17:56,401
A nice gesture
from another big city girl.
322
00:17:56,470 --> 00:17:57,902
Oh, come on, Ben.
323
00:17:57,971 --> 00:18:00,605
Not all city women are...
you-know-who.
324
00:18:09,449 --> 00:18:10,449
Ben?
325
00:18:14,621 --> 00:18:16,388
All this talk about
the Cookie Crawl,
326
00:18:16,423 --> 00:18:18,034
and there's still
so much to prepare for...
327
00:18:18,058 --> 00:18:19,991
our contest,
the gingerbread contest,
328
00:18:20,027 --> 00:18:22,661
and we're...
we're still teammates, right?
329
00:18:22,696 --> 00:18:25,196
As long as Ashley
doesn't go into labor.
330
00:18:25,265 --> 00:18:26,665
You know,
331
00:18:26,700 --> 00:18:28,244
you've been judging
the gingerbread contest
332
00:18:28,268 --> 00:18:29,301
for four years now,
333
00:18:29,336 --> 00:18:33,116
which makes four years
that we couldn't be teammates.
334
00:18:33,140 --> 00:18:36,908
I promise, if Ashley can't be a
judge, I'll find someone else who can.
335
00:18:36,943 --> 00:18:38,443
I love you.
336
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:41,579
I love you, too.
337
00:18:52,027 --> 00:18:54,127
There you go.
338
00:18:55,297 --> 00:18:58,932
Not exactly
how I pictured my weekend.
339
00:19:39,441 --> 00:19:41,141
You again.
340
00:19:41,176 --> 00:19:42,809
That's a new look.
341
00:19:42,844 --> 00:19:45,312
It was either this,
or an emerald cocktail dress.
342
00:19:45,380 --> 00:19:46,479
Good call.
343
00:19:46,548 --> 00:19:47,992
Mondays are the formal days
around here.
344
00:19:48,016 --> 00:19:50,183
- I'll be sad to miss it.
- Yeah.
345
00:19:50,218 --> 00:19:51,218
Where's the "to-go" line?
346
00:19:53,055 --> 00:19:54,554
Grab a seat,
somebody'll find you.
347
00:19:55,524 --> 00:19:57,123
You in a hurry?
348
00:19:57,159 --> 00:19:58,792
Ruby's meeting
with her doctor today.
349
00:19:58,827 --> 00:19:59,867
You've got plenty of time.
350
00:19:59,895 --> 00:20:01,795
I'll tell them
not to start without you.
351
00:20:01,830 --> 00:20:03,129
Are you going, too?
352
00:20:04,132 --> 00:20:05,165
Mom couldn't make it,
353
00:20:05,233 --> 00:20:08,035
so she wanted me to make sure
Ruby listens to the doctor's orders.
354
00:20:08,870 --> 00:20:10,437
What are the chances of that?
355
00:20:12,574 --> 00:20:13,406
See you there.
356
00:20:13,442 --> 00:20:14,541
Yup.
357
00:20:18,213 --> 00:20:19,145
No!
358
00:20:19,181 --> 00:20:20,380
Aunt Ruby...
359
00:20:20,449 --> 00:20:21,815
It's six days!
360
00:20:21,850 --> 00:20:23,350
I can't put
any weight on it now?
361
00:20:23,385 --> 00:20:24,651
Exactly.
362
00:20:24,686 --> 00:20:25,518
Which is why you'll need
to keep your ankle elevated
363
00:20:25,587 --> 00:20:26,519
for the most part.
364
00:20:26,588 --> 00:20:27,754
I can do all of that at home.
365
00:20:27,789 --> 00:20:30,156
And then you'd just be tempted
to get into the decorations,
366
00:20:30,225 --> 00:20:31,324
which is too risky.
367
00:20:31,393 --> 00:20:32,425
This way is safer.
368
00:20:32,461 --> 00:20:33,960
So, how far away
is the rehab center?
369
00:20:34,029 --> 00:20:36,529
- About two hours south.
- It's too far!
370
00:20:36,565 --> 00:20:38,732
- Your insurance covers it.
- That's not the point.
371
00:20:38,767 --> 00:20:41,034
I won't be able to do
the Christmas Cookie Crawl.
372
00:20:41,069 --> 00:20:42,869
It's important to me.
373
00:20:42,904 --> 00:20:44,771
You'll be home
in time to participate.
374
00:20:44,806 --> 00:20:46,807
- But not prepare.
- I'll prepare.
375
00:20:46,842 --> 00:20:49,342
That way, when you get home,
you won't miss a thing.
376
00:20:49,411 --> 00:20:52,012
Honey, it is so much work.
377
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:52,879
Don't worry about it.
378
00:20:52,914 --> 00:20:55,615
Besides, you took me in
at the worst time in my life,
379
00:20:55,651 --> 00:20:57,117
and made me feel safe and loved.
380
00:20:57,185 --> 00:20:58,185
It's the least I can do.
381
00:20:58,220 --> 00:21:01,521
- But what about your job?
- Let me worry about that.
382
00:21:01,556 --> 00:21:03,223
I've got some vacation days,
383
00:21:03,258 --> 00:21:04,902
and I've got my laptop,
so I can work remotely.
384
00:21:04,926 --> 00:21:08,395
Listen, you just focus on healing,
and I'll take care of everything,
385
00:21:08,463 --> 00:21:09,503
including the Crawl, okay?
386
00:21:25,247 --> 00:21:26,579
Joy!
387
00:21:26,648 --> 00:21:28,960
I'm so glad I found you,
I tried to catch you at the hospital.
388
00:21:28,984 --> 00:21:30,483
- Here's my card.
- Why?
389
00:21:30,519 --> 00:21:33,319
So you can call me,
set up a time to meet,
390
00:21:33,355 --> 00:21:34,254
go over the specifics
of the Crawl.
391
00:21:34,289 --> 00:21:35,588
Why would we need to meet?
392
00:21:35,624 --> 00:21:36,901
We have a lot of ground
to cover in six days.
393
00:21:36,925 --> 00:21:38,291
We've got to figure out a theme.
394
00:21:38,326 --> 00:21:40,471
Ruby keeps a record of all
the themes that've been used,
395
00:21:40,495 --> 00:21:41,661
which is helpful.
396
00:21:41,730 --> 00:21:43,370
Last year's was
"International Christmas".
397
00:21:43,398 --> 00:21:44,964
Once we figure out a theme,
398
00:21:45,033 --> 00:21:47,867
we have to create the interior
and exterior design,
399
00:21:47,903 --> 00:21:50,070
integrate the Christmas trees...
400
00:21:50,138 --> 00:21:52,238
- "Trees", plural?
- Yes, plural.
401
00:21:52,307 --> 00:21:54,774
- I'm thinking four, maybe five?
- Five trees?
402
00:21:54,810 --> 00:21:56,109
Yeah, you'll see.
403
00:21:56,144 --> 00:21:57,989
And we've got to start
making the dough reserves.
404
00:21:58,013 --> 00:21:59,245
- Dough reserves?
- Yeah.
405
00:21:59,281 --> 00:22:00,792
We're going to be making
a lot of cookies,
406
00:22:00,816 --> 00:22:02,126
but first, we have to make
a lot of dough.
407
00:22:02,150 --> 00:22:03,428
Okay, Ben, I appreciate the fact
408
00:22:03,452 --> 00:22:04,896
that you've helped my aunt
over the last few years,
409
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,221
however, I just need an overview,
not a co-captain.
410
00:22:07,255 --> 00:22:09,089
This is a two-person job...
411
00:22:09,124 --> 00:22:11,369
Which describes
most of the jobs I already do,
412
00:22:11,393 --> 00:22:12,892
except I do them alone.
413
00:22:17,199 --> 00:22:18,309
You don't know
what you're getting into.
414
00:22:18,333 --> 00:22:20,767
It's Christmas trees and cookies,
not advanced calculus,
415
00:22:20,802 --> 00:22:21,935
which, by the way, I aced.
416
00:22:23,438 --> 00:22:24,482
Then you'll understand
these numbers...
417
00:22:24,506 --> 00:22:27,774
20 dozen sugars,
14 dozen thumbprints,
418
00:22:27,809 --> 00:22:30,543
10 dozen shortbread,
four dozen lemon bars,
419
00:22:30,579 --> 00:22:33,279
40 dozen chocolate chip,
regular and chocolate-chocolate.
420
00:22:33,348 --> 00:22:35,248
30 dozen brownies,
with and without nuts.
421
00:22:35,317 --> 00:22:36,516
- Both?
- Both.
422
00:22:36,551 --> 00:22:37,695
All that's just
what we did last year.
423
00:22:37,719 --> 00:22:39,152
15's another number.
424
00:22:39,187 --> 00:22:41,521
That's how many houses
are participating this year,
425
00:22:41,556 --> 00:22:43,089
each trying to win
the golden wreath.
426
00:22:43,125 --> 00:22:44,524
- The...
- Golden wreath?
427
00:22:44,593 --> 00:22:45,992
- That's a thing?
- A big thing.
428
00:22:46,027 --> 00:22:47,260
Your aunt's thing.
429
00:22:47,295 --> 00:22:51,431
The thing you just promised
to take care of, alone.
430
00:22:51,466 --> 00:22:53,701
Good luck, Solo,
and welcome back.
431
00:23:02,811 --> 00:23:04,177
Seven days?
432
00:23:04,212 --> 00:23:06,324
Well, five,
and there's a weekend in there,
433
00:23:06,348 --> 00:23:07,625
so it's really
not as many as it seems.
434
00:23:07,649 --> 00:23:09,983
I thought you went home
because of your aunt.
435
00:23:10,018 --> 00:23:12,418
I did, and that led me
to the Cookie Crawl.
436
00:23:12,454 --> 00:23:14,087
Cookie?
437
00:23:14,122 --> 00:23:17,223
It's this thing, it's important to her,
so it's important to me...
438
00:23:17,259 --> 00:23:19,092
No, no, no, I get it,
family is first.
439
00:23:19,127 --> 00:23:20,527
Thank you.
440
00:23:20,562 --> 00:23:22,206
Okay, and I brought my laptop
and cell phone with me,
441
00:23:22,230 --> 00:23:23,530
so I can work remotely.
442
00:23:23,565 --> 00:23:25,365
I saw the Weatherton's
report went out.
443
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:26,499
It was perfect.
444
00:23:26,535 --> 00:23:27,567
Great.
445
00:23:27,636 --> 00:23:29,035
The good news is
446
00:23:29,104 --> 00:23:30,982
we're headed into the December
pre-holiday slowdown,
447
00:23:31,006 --> 00:23:33,050
but you will be back in time
for The Christmas Gala, yes?
448
00:23:33,074 --> 00:23:34,340
Absolutely.
449
00:23:34,409 --> 00:23:35,308
I already have my dress.
450
00:23:35,343 --> 00:23:36,376
Okay, good.
451
00:23:36,411 --> 00:23:37,411
Happy baking.
452
00:23:37,445 --> 00:23:38,445
Thank you.
453
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:39,813
- Bye.
- Bye.
454
00:24:08,176 --> 00:24:10,743
Joy said she wanted to do
the whole thing by herself.
455
00:24:10,812 --> 00:24:12,545
What?
456
00:24:12,581 --> 00:24:14,547
And you agreed?
457
00:24:14,616 --> 00:24:16,182
I can't make her work with me.
458
00:24:16,218 --> 00:24:17,495
Besides, this way,
I'll have more time
459
00:24:17,519 --> 00:24:19,452
to focus on the gingerbread
contest with you.
460
00:24:19,487 --> 00:24:21,120
Yeah, but does she
truly have any idea
461
00:24:21,156 --> 00:24:22,366
what she's getting herself into?
462
00:24:22,390 --> 00:24:24,724
She will when I bring over
the decorations
463
00:24:24,759 --> 00:24:25,879
I still have from last year.
464
00:24:33,235 --> 00:24:34,200
"Find a theme.
465
00:24:34,236 --> 00:24:35,401
"Make dough.
466
00:24:35,470 --> 00:24:36,402
"Decorate the house.
467
00:24:36,471 --> 00:24:37,837
Make the cookies".
468
00:24:37,873 --> 00:24:38,873
Not so bad.
469
00:24:52,621 --> 00:24:54,220
This is bonkers.
470
00:25:01,796 --> 00:25:03,196
Hi.
471
00:25:03,265 --> 00:25:04,664
Yet another new look for you.
472
00:25:04,699 --> 00:25:05,732
Yeah, well, I figured
473
00:25:05,767 --> 00:25:08,635
if I'm gonna be here for a few days,
I should do some shopping.
474
00:25:08,670 --> 00:25:09,702
What brings you here?
475
00:25:09,738 --> 00:25:12,872
- I brought decorations for the Crawl.
- Actually, I already found them.
476
00:25:12,908 --> 00:25:14,875
You found half of 'em.
I have the other half.
477
00:25:18,513 --> 00:25:19,979
Is all this really necessary?
478
00:25:21,416 --> 00:25:22,860
You can probably
do without a few boxes.
479
00:25:22,884 --> 00:25:25,485
Depends on how many
trees you use.
480
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,821
Once you figure out more of
your theme, you know, you'll...
481
00:25:28,857 --> 00:25:30,556
You have figured out
your theme, right?
482
00:25:30,592 --> 00:25:33,060
I figured I'd start baking first,
and get inspired.
483
00:25:37,065 --> 00:25:38,731
I gather you disapprove.
484
00:25:38,767 --> 00:25:40,266
It's your show.
485
00:25:43,138 --> 00:25:44,304
But from my experience,
486
00:25:44,339 --> 00:25:46,873
I'd figure out a theme
as soon as possible.
487
00:25:46,942 --> 00:25:47,774
Okay, why not go with
the most direct?
488
00:25:47,809 --> 00:25:48,809
Christmas Cookies.
489
00:25:49,945 --> 00:25:51,311
More disapproval?
490
00:25:51,346 --> 00:25:52,946
At least try.
491
00:25:52,981 --> 00:25:55,114
It's not just about the cookies.
492
00:25:55,150 --> 00:25:56,790
It's about the whole
Christmas experience.
493
00:25:56,818 --> 00:25:58,284
Okay, what theme
would you choose?
494
00:25:59,554 --> 00:26:01,087
I thought
you didn't want my help.
495
00:26:01,122 --> 00:26:03,356
I'm just asking
for a casual suggestion.
496
00:26:03,391 --> 00:26:05,858
Based on my years
of Cookie Crawl experience.
497
00:26:05,894 --> 00:26:08,227
- All right, I'll pay you.
- Pay me?
498
00:26:08,296 --> 00:26:11,030
I mean, what's the going rate
for Cookie Crawl consultation?
499
00:26:11,099 --> 00:26:14,000
Joy, here in small towns,
we help each other
500
00:26:14,035 --> 00:26:16,714
because it's the right thing to do,
not because somebody's paying us.
501
00:26:16,738 --> 00:26:18,698
If you do want my help,
you know where to find me.
502
00:26:41,732 --> 00:26:43,398
I got this.
503
00:27:20,404 --> 00:27:24,940
Okay, Margie, I'm all yours.
504
00:28:03,213 --> 00:28:04,579
Back again.
505
00:28:04,615 --> 00:28:05,747
Yes,
506
00:28:05,783 --> 00:28:07,683
I need coffee in the mornings.
507
00:28:07,718 --> 00:28:08,784
Smart.
508
00:28:08,852 --> 00:28:10,085
The coffee here's good.
509
00:28:10,120 --> 00:28:11,920
Ben, I'm sorry.
510
00:28:13,824 --> 00:28:15,168
I want to apologize
for offering to pay.
511
00:28:15,192 --> 00:28:16,058
I didn't mean to offend you.
512
00:28:16,126 --> 00:28:18,226
Thank you.
513
00:28:18,295 --> 00:28:19,628
I probably overreacted a bit.
514
00:28:19,663 --> 00:28:20,996
Why?
515
00:28:21,031 --> 00:28:22,898
I guess I...
516
00:28:22,933 --> 00:28:27,269
it just reminded me of something
my ex-wife might have done,
517
00:28:27,304 --> 00:28:28,937
still hits a nerve I guess.
518
00:28:28,972 --> 00:28:29,972
I'm sorry.
519
00:28:30,007 --> 00:28:31,773
Don't worry about it at all.
520
00:28:31,809 --> 00:28:35,445
I was thinking about the
Cookie Crawl, and I think...
521
00:28:39,516 --> 00:28:40,582
Excuse me.
522
00:28:40,617 --> 00:28:41,583
Yeah.
523
00:28:41,618 --> 00:28:42,584
Of course.
524
00:28:42,619 --> 00:28:43,619
Hello?
525
00:28:45,055 --> 00:28:46,588
Hey!
526
00:28:46,657 --> 00:28:47,889
Oh, you did?
527
00:28:47,958 --> 00:28:48,958
That's amazing.
528
00:28:52,463 --> 00:28:53,463
He's a big boy.
529
00:28:55,365 --> 00:28:57,065
Bye-bye. Thanks.
530
00:29:03,307 --> 00:29:05,240
Everything okay?
531
00:29:05,275 --> 00:29:07,242
Yeah, actually, it's great news.
532
00:29:07,277 --> 00:29:09,377
- My assistant had her baby.
- Good for her!
533
00:29:09,413 --> 00:29:10,645
Yeah, a week early.
534
00:29:10,681 --> 00:29:11,958
Everyone's...
everyone's healthy,
535
00:29:11,982 --> 00:29:13,515
and that's what's important.
536
00:29:13,550 --> 00:29:17,252
I'm sensing
there's more to the story.
537
00:29:17,287 --> 00:29:19,421
Selfishly.
538
00:29:19,456 --> 00:29:22,124
Ashley was running
the local gingerbread contest.
539
00:29:22,159 --> 00:29:24,025
Wait, full stop.
540
00:29:24,061 --> 00:29:26,695
Crystal Falls has a
Christmas Cookie Crawl
541
00:29:26,730 --> 00:29:27,929
and a gingerbread contest?
542
00:29:29,666 --> 00:29:32,567
Do the grand prizes come with
a lifetime gym membership?
543
00:29:32,636 --> 00:29:35,203
No, but that's...
that's a good idea.
544
00:29:35,239 --> 00:29:37,083
All right, so why is
the happy arrival of a baby
545
00:29:37,107 --> 00:29:38,507
problematic for you?
546
00:29:38,542 --> 00:29:40,386
Because Ashley took over
the gingerbread contest from me
547
00:29:40,410 --> 00:29:41,421
so I could enter with my mom.
548
00:29:41,445 --> 00:29:42,811
That's so cute.
549
00:29:42,846 --> 00:29:44,980
Yeah, well, unfortunately,
it's not gonna happen now.
550
00:29:45,048 --> 00:29:46,815
I can't judge and participate.
551
00:29:46,884 --> 00:29:50,352
- Why do you have to judge?
- Because there's no one else.
552
00:29:50,387 --> 00:29:52,554
At this point,
everyone's either entered
553
00:29:52,589 --> 00:29:55,657
or doing something
else on the 22nd,
554
00:29:55,692 --> 00:29:57,826
so I'm gonna have to break
my promise to my mom,
555
00:29:57,861 --> 00:30:01,463
unless I can find s...
556
00:30:03,167 --> 00:30:04,167
What?
557
00:30:05,235 --> 00:30:07,636
- You'll be in town then.
- Me?
558
00:30:07,671 --> 00:30:10,405
Oh, no, Captain Christmas,
this time, you've gone too far.
559
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:12,107
Come on, please, I'm begging.
560
00:30:12,142 --> 00:30:13,142
No, no, no, no,
561
00:30:13,177 --> 00:30:14,876
I am up to here in cookie prep.
562
00:30:14,912 --> 00:30:17,223
Not to mention my real job,
for which I'm up for a promotion,
563
00:30:17,247 --> 00:30:18,680
and can't let anything slide.
564
00:30:18,715 --> 00:30:20,949
And my company's formal
Christmas gala is that night.
565
00:30:20,984 --> 00:30:23,885
- I'll help with the Cookie Crawl.
- We've already went over this.
566
00:30:23,954 --> 00:30:25,465
I know you said
you like to do things solo,
567
00:30:25,489 --> 00:30:28,290
but that was before you saw
what a huge undertaking it was.
568
00:30:28,325 --> 00:30:30,158
Come on, you already look tired.
569
00:30:30,227 --> 00:30:31,259
Thanks!
570
00:30:31,295 --> 00:30:33,428
A pretty kind of tired.
571
00:30:33,463 --> 00:30:36,411
You gotta admit, it's more
than you imagined it'd be, right?
572
00:30:37,601 --> 00:30:40,068
Judging the gingerbread contest
is barely anything!
573
00:30:40,103 --> 00:30:42,237
Ashley already did
99.9% of the work.
574
00:30:42,306 --> 00:30:43,683
All right, don't try
and dazzle me with data.
575
00:30:43,707 --> 00:30:45,006
We can help each other.
576
00:30:45,042 --> 00:30:48,810
I'll pitch in for the Cookie Crawl,
I'll do all the heavy lifting.
577
00:30:48,846 --> 00:30:51,913
Seriously, I will lift heavy objects,
and whatever else you need.
578
00:30:51,949 --> 00:30:53,748
What do you say?
579
00:30:53,784 --> 00:30:56,551
Me and you?
Cookies and gingerbread?
580
00:30:58,088 --> 00:30:59,221
Fine.
581
00:30:59,256 --> 00:31:01,723
Cookies and gingerbread.
582
00:31:05,529 --> 00:31:06,529
"Captain Christmas"?
583
00:31:07,564 --> 00:31:09,297
That's you.
584
00:31:16,006 --> 00:31:18,473
Recipes...
585
00:31:20,310 --> 00:31:21,443
Recipes...
586
00:31:32,022 --> 00:31:33,499
My mom gave me
a Christmas ornament once
587
00:31:33,523 --> 00:31:35,490
that was exactly this color.
588
00:31:54,611 --> 00:31:56,511
No, I really think
589
00:31:56,546 --> 00:31:58,706
that we should leave the
candy focus group in December,
590
00:31:58,749 --> 00:32:00,226
because by January,
people will be all sugared out.
591
00:32:00,250 --> 00:32:02,017
And I can say that
with great confidence.
592
00:32:02,085 --> 00:32:03,785
What is going on?
593
00:32:03,820 --> 00:32:05,487
Are you making cookies
for an army?
594
00:32:05,555 --> 00:32:08,189
I mean, you cannot imagine
how much preparation this takes.
595
00:32:08,225 --> 00:32:10,558
Hold on while I switch
this conversation to record.
596
00:32:12,195 --> 00:32:13,573
Is this the contest
you're judging?
597
00:32:13,597 --> 00:32:15,664
Nope, that's
the gingerbread contest.
598
00:32:15,699 --> 00:32:17,565
All of this is for
the Cookie Crawl.
599
00:32:17,634 --> 00:32:20,602
It is a whole new world
you have entered.
600
00:32:20,637 --> 00:32:22,003
Yes.
601
00:32:22,039 --> 00:32:24,673
Which is why I need you
to tell me workish things,
602
00:32:24,741 --> 00:32:27,208
I need the contrast.
603
00:32:27,244 --> 00:32:28,310
Well, it's just a rumor.
604
00:32:28,378 --> 00:32:30,979
Oh, go on.
605
00:32:31,048 --> 00:32:33,882
Something's going on
with the Weatherton's account.
606
00:32:33,917 --> 00:32:35,050
Like what?
607
00:32:35,085 --> 00:32:36,384
That's just it, nobody knows.
608
00:32:36,420 --> 00:32:38,353
But someone overheard
Margie's assistant
609
00:32:38,388 --> 00:32:41,022
talking about bringing up
all of the Weatherton's files.
610
00:32:41,058 --> 00:32:43,858
That must go back
a decade at least.
611
00:32:43,927 --> 00:32:45,126
Well, it could be nothing.
612
00:32:45,162 --> 00:32:47,028
Or it could be something.
613
00:32:47,097 --> 00:32:48,830
I know I'm not lead
on their account,
614
00:32:48,899 --> 00:32:50,732
but they really are
my favorite client.
615
00:32:52,369 --> 00:32:53,735
Come in!
616
00:32:53,770 --> 00:32:56,104
Is that the gingerbread guy?
617
00:32:56,173 --> 00:32:57,173
Hey.
618
00:32:57,207 --> 00:32:58,673
Hi! Say hi to Renee.
619
00:32:58,709 --> 00:32:59,808
Hi.
620
00:32:59,843 --> 00:33:01,076
Ben, Renee.
Renee, Ben.
621
00:33:01,144 --> 00:33:03,011
That's Ben?
622
00:33:03,046 --> 00:33:04,379
Nice to kinda meet you, Renee.
623
00:33:04,448 --> 00:33:06,481
You, too, Ben.
624
00:33:06,516 --> 00:33:08,294
All right, we're off
to make our cookie dough.
625
00:33:08,318 --> 00:33:09,985
Even though we don't have
a theme yet.
626
00:33:10,020 --> 00:33:13,154
It's possible that
we could be inspired
627
00:33:13,223 --> 00:33:14,656
by making our "dough reserves".
628
00:33:14,725 --> 00:33:16,725
Though that hasn't been
my experience.
629
00:33:19,696 --> 00:33:21,396
All right, I gotta go, bye.
630
00:33:21,431 --> 00:33:22,431
Bye.
631
00:33:24,901 --> 00:33:26,868
What's wrong?
632
00:33:26,903 --> 00:33:28,303
Nothing.
633
00:33:28,338 --> 00:33:30,183
Just looks like you're making
the oatmeal raisin first.
634
00:33:30,207 --> 00:33:32,407
I am, because
they're my favorite.
635
00:33:32,442 --> 00:33:34,642
I usually like to start
with the chocolate chip.
636
00:33:34,678 --> 00:33:35,610
It tends to last longer.
637
00:33:35,645 --> 00:33:38,391
Okay, well, just because that's
how you've always done things,
638
00:33:38,415 --> 00:33:39,625
doesn't mean that's how
they should always be done.
639
00:33:39,649 --> 00:33:41,082
Tell that
to four Golden Wreaths.
640
00:33:41,118 --> 00:33:44,519
All right, maybe you should just
open up to some new possibilities.
641
00:33:44,554 --> 00:33:46,187
The possibility of losing.
642
00:33:47,257 --> 00:33:50,125
I'm gonna do my batch,
you do your thing.
643
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:51,793
Great. I think I will.
644
00:34:14,186 --> 00:34:17,521
- Not bad for our first round.
- "First round," he says so easily.
645
00:34:17,589 --> 00:34:19,623
It's a little tricky.
646
00:34:22,294 --> 00:34:23,294
There we go.
647
00:34:27,666 --> 00:34:30,166
- Impressive.
- Thank you.
648
00:34:30,202 --> 00:34:33,614
I get a bizarre satisfaction from
crossing things off my "to-do" lists.
649
00:34:33,638 --> 00:34:35,171
That's half the fun of my job.
650
00:34:35,207 --> 00:34:36,984
You know, you don't really
strike me as an admin guy.
651
00:34:37,008 --> 00:34:39,009
- It's the flannel.
- You're right.
652
00:34:39,077 --> 00:34:42,312
So, I was looking through
some of Aunt Ruby's notebooks,
653
00:34:42,381 --> 00:34:44,714
and you're right, there is
a big emphasis on theme.
654
00:34:44,750 --> 00:34:46,516
Did you just say I was right?
655
00:34:47,519 --> 00:34:49,185
Anyway...
656
00:34:49,221 --> 00:34:52,122
I started brainstorming
some theme ideas.
657
00:34:52,157 --> 00:34:53,157
You wanna hear?
658
00:34:53,191 --> 00:34:54,624
Go for it.
659
00:34:54,659 --> 00:34:56,504
Okay, studies show
that people are drawn to things
660
00:34:56,528 --> 00:34:57,927
that are twists on the familiar,
661
00:34:57,963 --> 00:34:59,696
so I was thinking,
662
00:34:59,765 --> 00:35:01,564
"Frosty the Snowman
goes tropical".
663
00:35:04,803 --> 00:35:06,536
I see melting.
664
00:35:07,739 --> 00:35:09,839
Okay, maybe not the best twist.
665
00:35:09,875 --> 00:35:11,674
What about Dickens?
666
00:35:11,710 --> 00:35:12,820
I'm a sucker
for "A Christmas Carol".
667
00:35:12,844 --> 00:35:15,378
It was done in 2012.
668
00:35:15,414 --> 00:35:16,946
Mabel Pine.
She came in third.
669
00:35:16,982 --> 00:35:18,148
Before my time.
670
00:35:21,019 --> 00:35:23,686
What about
Dickens 2.0?
671
00:35:23,755 --> 00:35:27,257
A virtual-reality Scrooge
goes back and forth in time?
672
00:35:28,460 --> 00:35:29,692
Come on, we're "twisting".
673
00:35:29,728 --> 00:35:31,873
I like the classics
to stay pretty much classic.
674
00:35:31,897 --> 00:35:34,731
- Yes, and dated.
- Not dated. Proven.
675
00:35:34,766 --> 00:35:36,733
Proven to be dated.
676
00:35:40,539 --> 00:35:43,673
Look... look at this.
Look at this ornament.
677
00:35:43,708 --> 00:35:44,741
It's gorgeous.
678
00:35:44,776 --> 00:35:47,645
Simple, classic.
It doesn't need a twist.
679
00:35:47,679 --> 00:35:49,979
Why mess with
something proven to be...
680
00:35:59,558 --> 00:36:02,158
Joy, I am...
I am so, so sorry.
681
00:36:03,995 --> 00:36:05,115
It's okay, I'll get a broom.
682
00:36:06,465 --> 00:36:07,864
It was just...
683
00:36:07,933 --> 00:36:09,132
it was from my mom.
684
00:36:35,460 --> 00:36:37,460
Here, I'll clean it up.
685
00:36:37,496 --> 00:36:38,595
Thanks.
686
00:36:41,833 --> 00:36:44,367
Who's Phil Finnegan?
687
00:36:44,402 --> 00:36:48,171
He's the regional sales rep
for Carolina's Best Flour.
688
00:36:48,206 --> 00:36:51,140
They're the sponsors
for the gingerbread contest.
689
00:36:51,176 --> 00:36:54,644
He wants to meet
for coffee in an hour.
690
00:36:54,679 --> 00:36:57,013
He probably just wants to go
over the rules, the contest,
691
00:36:57,082 --> 00:36:59,382
- get you up to speed.
- Okay.
692
00:37:03,455 --> 00:37:06,723
How about this...
I'll follow you to Zeke's,
693
00:37:06,758 --> 00:37:08,925
so you can drop off your car
before you meet with Phil,
694
00:37:08,994 --> 00:37:10,026
then I'll drive you home.
695
00:37:11,029 --> 00:37:12,795
Okay.
696
00:37:12,831 --> 00:37:15,665
- But you're buying Zeke's pizza.
- Done.
697
00:37:21,306 --> 00:37:22,306
Ready?
698
00:37:23,375 --> 00:37:24,240
Pizza for repairs, all right?
699
00:37:24,276 --> 00:37:25,375
Thanks, Ben.
700
00:37:25,410 --> 00:37:27,010
- Yup, as promised.
- Thank you.
701
00:37:27,045 --> 00:37:28,878
- You're welcome.
- I appreciate it.
702
00:37:28,914 --> 00:37:30,491
- Deluxe, right?
- Just what you ordered.
703
00:37:30,515 --> 00:37:31,515
All right...
704
00:37:42,427 --> 00:37:43,826
Hi, Phil.
705
00:37:43,895 --> 00:37:46,062
There you are.
I was getting nervous.
706
00:37:46,097 --> 00:37:47,730
We're three minutes early.
707
00:37:47,766 --> 00:37:49,799
But it's only three days
until the contest,
708
00:37:49,868 --> 00:37:52,735
and I want to make sure
that she knows everything.
709
00:37:52,771 --> 00:37:53,915
There's so much
for you to learn.
710
00:37:53,939 --> 00:37:55,305
Phil Finnegan, Joy Holbrook.
711
00:37:55,340 --> 00:37:58,575
Hi.
How much exactly?
712
00:37:58,643 --> 00:38:00,977
These are our rules
and regulations.
713
00:38:01,012 --> 00:38:02,023
Now, it would be really helpful
714
00:38:02,047 --> 00:38:03,947
if you could get
up to speed on these
715
00:38:03,982 --> 00:38:06,282
as quickly as possible.
716
00:38:06,318 --> 00:38:08,918
Being a judge is
a lot of responsibility.
717
00:38:10,722 --> 00:38:12,422
I don't suppose
there's a shorter version.
718
00:38:14,359 --> 00:38:15,992
This is the shorter version.
719
00:38:18,396 --> 00:38:19,529
Great.
720
00:38:19,564 --> 00:38:21,831
Three days, huh?
721
00:38:21,866 --> 00:38:26,970
- You are so buying me dinner.
- Yes. Yes, I am.
722
00:38:30,442 --> 00:38:32,108
Crystal Falls Lodge.
723
00:38:32,143 --> 00:38:34,644
I can't remember
the last time I was here.
724
00:38:34,713 --> 00:38:35,612
Let me guess, prom?
725
00:38:35,647 --> 00:38:38,114
No, actually.
I didn't go to prom.
726
00:38:38,183 --> 00:38:40,483
- That's surprising.
- Not really.
727
00:38:40,518 --> 00:38:41,629
I mean, I moved here
when I was 15.
728
00:38:41,653 --> 00:38:42,752
You know, at that point,
729
00:38:42,821 --> 00:38:44,098
everybody already had
their best friends
730
00:38:44,122 --> 00:38:46,189
since elementary school.
731
00:38:46,224 --> 00:38:47,557
And that was
right after my mom...
732
00:38:49,527 --> 00:38:51,160
So, I wasn't exactly
in the best place.
733
00:38:51,196 --> 00:38:54,163
- That I remember.
- I'm sure you do.
734
00:38:54,232 --> 00:38:56,199
Your mom made you
take me to the movies
735
00:38:56,234 --> 00:38:58,701
when you were home from college
on your Christmas break.
736
00:38:58,737 --> 00:38:59,769
Asked.
737
00:38:59,804 --> 00:39:01,504
Still.
It couldn't have been fun.
738
00:39:01,539 --> 00:39:03,439
You were quiet, but I knew why.
739
00:39:03,508 --> 00:39:06,342
And if I remember correctly,
the movie was good.
740
00:39:06,378 --> 00:39:09,313
- "Love, Actually" is the best.
- Is that which one it was?
741
00:39:09,347 --> 00:39:10,380
I think so.
742
00:39:11,516 --> 00:39:13,082
I'd forgotten about that.
743
00:39:16,921 --> 00:39:18,388
When was the last time
you were home?
744
00:39:19,591 --> 00:39:20,790
Gosh, I don't know.
745
00:39:20,859 --> 00:39:24,994
Probably not since
I graduated from college.
746
00:39:25,030 --> 00:39:27,930
I mean, I started working
right away, all the time.
747
00:39:27,999 --> 00:39:31,367
And Aunt Ruby comes
to visit me in D.C., so...
748
00:39:31,403 --> 00:39:33,369
I didn't realize
how long it had been until...
749
00:39:33,438 --> 00:39:37,347
Well, I know Ruby would love
to have you around more.
750
00:39:41,246 --> 00:39:42,945
Plus, this is a nice town.
751
00:39:42,981 --> 00:39:45,381
It is.
752
00:39:45,417 --> 00:39:49,052
- Some might even call it "classic".
- Whoa, don't push it.
753
00:39:57,195 --> 00:40:00,496
- I'm hungry.
- Yeah, me too.
754
00:40:00,532 --> 00:40:03,399
- Ben!
- Mom, Dad, hi!
755
00:40:03,435 --> 00:40:05,301
Hi, Mr. and Mrs. Andrews.
756
00:40:05,336 --> 00:40:07,070
Joy, it's so good
to see you again.
757
00:40:07,105 --> 00:40:08,204
You too.
758
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:10,206
Joy, could you
excuse us for a second?
759
00:40:10,241 --> 00:40:11,441
Of course.
760
00:40:14,879 --> 00:40:17,480
So, what...
Are you two on a date?
761
00:40:17,515 --> 00:40:18,681
No.
762
00:40:18,717 --> 00:40:21,951
No, we were working on
the contest together,
763
00:40:21,986 --> 00:40:24,088
and, you know, got hungry.
At the same time.
764
00:40:25,423 --> 00:40:28,291
- Couldn't just order a pizza?
- It's not like that.
765
00:40:28,326 --> 00:40:29,826
I see.
766
00:40:29,861 --> 00:40:33,396
Mom...
She's leaving in a few days,
767
00:40:33,431 --> 00:40:34,731
and you know
768
00:40:34,766 --> 00:40:36,043
I don't date people
who live in the city anymore.
769
00:40:36,067 --> 00:40:38,501
- I thought you were over Anne.
- I am over Anne,
770
00:40:38,536 --> 00:40:41,537
but it doesn't mean
I can't learn from the lesson.
771
00:40:41,573 --> 00:40:42,939
Which is?
772
00:40:42,974 --> 00:40:44,707
"Stay in your lane".
773
00:40:44,776 --> 00:40:48,010
Well, just remember, my son,
if you never leave your lane,
774
00:40:48,079 --> 00:40:50,747
the scenery's gonna get
mighty boring.
775
00:41:02,763 --> 00:41:03,995
Hey, Margie.
776
00:41:04,031 --> 00:41:05,196
Am I calling too late?
777
00:41:05,232 --> 00:41:06,564
No, it's fine.
What's up?
778
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:07,699
Good.
779
00:41:07,734 --> 00:41:10,735
I want you to write up the report
on the Hansen Candy focus group.
780
00:41:10,771 --> 00:41:12,671
I thought Renee
was handling that?
781
00:41:12,706 --> 00:41:16,341
Yes, but her boyfriend is surprising
her with a birthday weekend,
782
00:41:16,376 --> 00:41:19,044
and I told her that you would
take over since you're not busy.
783
00:41:19,112 --> 00:41:21,179
Well, I am busy...
784
00:41:21,248 --> 00:41:24,349
Surely, you can make time
between making cookies.
785
00:41:25,318 --> 00:41:26,551
Yeah, of course.
786
00:41:26,586 --> 00:41:27,986
Just send me the transcripts.
787
00:41:28,055 --> 00:41:30,933
Already have, with my notes,
and I'll need it by noon tomorrow.
788
00:41:30,957 --> 00:41:32,557
Really appreciate it.
789
00:41:32,592 --> 00:41:33,592
Bye!
790
00:41:33,660 --> 00:41:34,660
Bye.
791
00:42:46,066 --> 00:42:48,299
So, where are you
with the dough count?
792
00:42:48,335 --> 00:42:49,912
I've got about a quarter
of the sugar cookie dough done
793
00:42:49,936 --> 00:42:51,002
and some brownies, too.
794
00:42:51,037 --> 00:42:52,003
"Some" brownies?
795
00:42:52,038 --> 00:42:56,307
I know for a fact that Fern
Hartley's freezer is 3/4 full.
796
00:42:56,343 --> 00:42:58,109
And you know
Twyla Taft's at capacity.
797
00:42:58,145 --> 00:42:59,611
Oh, yeah.
798
00:42:59,646 --> 00:43:01,379
Okay, I will focus
on our dough count.
799
00:43:01,414 --> 00:43:04,449
And if you want my advice,
I would double the Oreo snowmen.
800
00:43:04,518 --> 00:43:06,885
Ruby here tends to run out.
801
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:08,720
I do not.
802
00:43:08,755 --> 00:43:10,133
Well, you were
down to one last year.
803
00:43:10,157 --> 00:43:12,524
- That's not running out.
- Well, you got lucky.
804
00:43:14,361 --> 00:43:15,460
So...
805
00:43:15,495 --> 00:43:17,295
have you started decorating yet?
806
00:43:17,330 --> 00:43:18,941
No, we thought we'd do that
after we figure out our theme.
807
00:43:18,965 --> 00:43:20,665
You haven't picked a theme?
808
00:43:20,734 --> 00:43:21,734
Oh, dear.
809
00:43:21,768 --> 00:43:23,902
It's in three days,
and you don't have a theme?
810
00:43:23,937 --> 00:43:25,381
Ben and I are
kicking around some ideas.
811
00:43:25,405 --> 00:43:26,538
And?
812
00:43:26,573 --> 00:43:28,273
It's definitely not
"Tropical Frosty".
813
00:43:36,316 --> 00:43:38,650
How you doing, honey?
You seem a little wiped.
814
00:43:38,685 --> 00:43:40,985
I had an emergency work project
come in late last night.
815
00:43:41,021 --> 00:43:44,222
- What, due ASAP?
- Is there any other way?
816
00:43:44,257 --> 00:43:46,658
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
817
00:43:46,726 --> 00:43:49,561
Well, I'm glad those days
are behind me.
818
00:43:49,596 --> 00:43:50,895
Yeah...
819
00:43:50,931 --> 00:43:53,598
I used to be a paralegal,
back in the day.
820
00:43:53,667 --> 00:43:58,636
Everything was urgent, and
I just was on the go constantly,
821
00:43:58,672 --> 00:44:01,172
yet, you know,
never getting anywhere.
822
00:44:01,208 --> 00:44:02,540
So, what did you do?
823
00:44:02,609 --> 00:44:06,945
I walked away, and started
working at the hospital,
824
00:44:06,980 --> 00:44:09,647
and I've never looked back.
825
00:44:09,716 --> 00:44:12,617
I don't know that
I can just walk away.
826
00:44:12,686 --> 00:44:14,552
I've put so much
of myself into my job.
827
00:44:16,223 --> 00:44:18,890
Does it make you happy, honey?
828
00:44:18,925 --> 00:44:20,959
Parts of it do.
829
00:44:20,994 --> 00:44:22,660
Other parts, not so much.
830
00:44:22,696 --> 00:44:24,529
Well, maybe it's just about
831
00:44:24,598 --> 00:44:27,332
figuring out which parts
are most important to you.
832
00:44:29,502 --> 00:44:31,502
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
833
00:44:49,856 --> 00:44:51,234
So, I was looking through
Ashley's notes,
834
00:44:51,258 --> 00:44:53,658
and it doesn't look like
you guys use blind voting
835
00:44:53,727 --> 00:44:54,804
for the gingerbread contest.
836
00:44:54,828 --> 00:44:56,861
That's right.
837
00:44:56,897 --> 00:44:59,364
Well, I mean, that can lead people
to load up on one entry,
838
00:44:59,399 --> 00:45:00,698
or to give pity votes
to another.
839
00:45:02,068 --> 00:45:03,034
Do you have another idea?
840
00:45:03,069 --> 00:45:04,636
I do.
841
00:45:04,671 --> 00:45:06,115
I'm gonna have to
email you, though, okay?
842
00:45:06,139 --> 00:45:07,071
Okay.
843
00:45:07,140 --> 00:45:08,840
Okay, bye.
844
00:45:08,875 --> 00:45:11,843
- Aren't you cold?
- No.
845
00:45:11,878 --> 00:45:15,146
I have hot chocolate,
with a special ingredient.
846
00:45:15,181 --> 00:45:16,741
What's wrong with
regular hot chocolate?
847
00:45:17,717 --> 00:45:18,797
Come on, you can handle it.
848
00:45:21,354 --> 00:45:23,388
- It's cayenne.
- Pepper?
849
00:45:23,423 --> 00:45:24,789
Makes it double warm.
850
00:45:24,824 --> 00:45:26,502
Did you get that trick
from one of Ruby's notebooks?
851
00:45:26,526 --> 00:45:29,360
No, actually, my mom used
to do that when I was little.
852
00:45:29,396 --> 00:45:31,029
It's delicious.
853
00:45:31,064 --> 00:45:32,230
See? New things.
854
00:45:33,700 --> 00:45:35,934
So, I bet you're wondering
why I called this meeting.
855
00:45:35,969 --> 00:45:38,770
- It's either cookies or gingerbread.
- It's the Cookie Crawl.
856
00:45:38,805 --> 00:45:40,805
We need to get started
on finding our theme
857
00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:42,740
so that we can start decorating.
858
00:45:42,776 --> 00:45:44,120
I'm still not doing
virtual-reality Scrooge.
859
00:45:44,144 --> 00:45:45,276
No, I know.
860
00:45:45,345 --> 00:45:47,690
Have you ever heard the phrase
"creativity happens in the cracks"?
861
00:45:47,714 --> 00:45:49,113
Can't say I have.
862
00:45:49,149 --> 00:45:50,192
Okay, so it basically means
863
00:45:50,216 --> 00:45:52,528
you knock your head against
an idea for however long it takes,
864
00:45:52,552 --> 00:45:54,592
but staring at a computer
or a blank piece of paper,
865
00:45:54,621 --> 00:45:56,054
you get nowhere,
866
00:45:56,122 --> 00:45:59,424
but you go take a shower, wash
your dishes, suddenly, voila!
867
00:45:59,459 --> 00:46:01,427
- The answer appears.
- Exactly.
868
00:46:01,461 --> 00:46:05,163
So... today, we're
going to find the crack.
869
00:46:11,404 --> 00:46:12,904
How'd you find this place?
870
00:46:12,939 --> 00:46:14,305
My Aunt Ruby
used to bring me here.
871
00:46:14,341 --> 00:46:16,874
- To the Wildfire Inn?
- To what's inside it.
872
00:46:34,060 --> 00:46:35,927
I totally forgot
this place was here.
873
00:46:35,996 --> 00:46:38,808
Oh, you, Captain Christmas,
forgot about an ice-skating rink?
874
00:46:38,832 --> 00:46:40,798
I know, right?
875
00:46:40,834 --> 00:46:43,835
A new rink was built closer
to town about 10 years ago.
876
00:46:43,870 --> 00:46:45,103
I like this one.
877
00:46:50,010 --> 00:46:51,010
Let's give it a go.
878
00:46:52,212 --> 00:46:54,078
Okay.
879
00:46:54,114 --> 00:46:55,179
Need help?
880
00:46:55,215 --> 00:46:56,080
- Yeah!
- You're good?
881
00:46:56,116 --> 00:46:58,082
You think?
882
00:47:19,105 --> 00:47:24,509
So, I know it's a billion years later,
but I wanted to thank you
883
00:47:24,544 --> 00:47:26,244
for taking me to the movies
way back when.
884
00:47:26,312 --> 00:47:28,346
Of course.
885
00:47:29,649 --> 00:47:31,249
Okay, so that's ancient history.
886
00:47:31,284 --> 00:47:33,919
- What's your story now?
- My story?
887
00:47:36,156 --> 00:47:39,804
It's sad, mainly because
it's so boring and dateless.
888
00:47:39,859 --> 00:47:41,759
- Really? Nobody?
- I mean...
889
00:47:41,795 --> 00:47:42,894
Come on.
890
00:47:42,929 --> 00:47:46,097
There was a guy, Todd, this summer,
but we just went on a few dates.
891
00:47:46,166 --> 00:47:47,231
Todd...
892
00:47:47,300 --> 00:47:50,301
- How'd that end?
- In a fizzle.
893
00:47:50,336 --> 00:47:51,336
It's always a fizzle.
894
00:47:55,108 --> 00:47:58,342
Always a fizzle, I get that.
895
00:48:01,281 --> 00:48:02,580
Any idea for the theme yet?
896
00:48:02,615 --> 00:48:05,450
- Nope.
- Me neither.
897
00:48:05,518 --> 00:48:08,886
Maybe we're trying too hard
to not try too hard.
898
00:48:08,922 --> 00:48:12,023
Maybe.
899
00:48:12,058 --> 00:48:15,960
Let's listen
to the trees for a second.
900
00:48:17,097 --> 00:48:19,130
Close your eyes.
901
00:48:25,105 --> 00:48:27,839
I have a confession to make.
902
00:48:27,874 --> 00:48:30,875
I come out into the forest
whenever I'm upset about something
903
00:48:30,910 --> 00:48:32,877
and listen to the trees.
904
00:48:32,912 --> 00:48:36,013
It puts things in perspective.
905
00:48:36,049 --> 00:48:39,183
So you're saying
you're a tree whisperer?
906
00:48:40,687 --> 00:48:42,453
I am.
907
00:48:42,489 --> 00:48:44,956
- Do they whisper back?
- All the time.
908
00:48:44,991 --> 00:48:47,425
And what do they say?
909
00:48:47,460 --> 00:48:49,360
It's not so much
about what they say,
910
00:48:49,395 --> 00:48:52,897
it's about how they make me feel
connected to everything.
911
00:48:54,868 --> 00:48:57,802
One of my favorite quotes,
it's something like,
912
00:48:57,837 --> 00:49:00,938
"Once we pick out one thing,
"we wind up realizing
913
00:49:00,974 --> 00:49:04,375
"that everything's hitched
to everything else in the Universe".
914
00:49:04,444 --> 00:49:07,078
John Muir.
I always liked that one.
915
00:49:07,113 --> 00:49:08,446
It reminds me of Crystal Falls.
916
00:49:08,481 --> 00:49:10,448
- Really?
- Yeah.
917
00:49:10,483 --> 00:49:11,727
I mean, everything
here is connected.
918
00:49:11,751 --> 00:49:14,552
I mean, just being home
has made me realize
919
00:49:14,587 --> 00:49:18,222
that no matter how far away I go,
or how long I've been gone,
920
00:49:18,258 --> 00:49:21,959
that I am still hitched
to Crystal Falls.
921
00:49:21,995 --> 00:49:25,029
- So why don't you come back more?
- I don't know,
922
00:49:25,098 --> 00:49:28,599
I was only here for a couple of years
right after my mom passed,
923
00:49:28,635 --> 00:49:29,912
and then when I went
away to school,
924
00:49:29,936 --> 00:49:31,269
I think maybe it was easier
925
00:49:31,304 --> 00:49:35,239
to pretend like I wasn't from anywhere,
or connected to anything.
926
00:49:35,275 --> 00:49:39,744
But then your mom called,
and I realized, I am connected,
927
00:49:39,779 --> 00:49:43,916
to my Aunt Ruby,
to my good memories here, and...
928
00:49:43,983 --> 00:49:44,983
Wait.
929
00:49:52,125 --> 00:49:53,624
Wait, that's it.
930
00:49:53,660 --> 00:49:55,293
- What?
- Our theme!
931
00:49:55,328 --> 00:49:58,863
Mother Nature, about how we're
all connected through nature,
932
00:49:58,898 --> 00:50:01,365
and it becomes especially
apparent at Christmas,
933
00:50:01,401 --> 00:50:04,068
when people come together.
934
00:50:04,103 --> 00:50:05,103
I think it's perfect.
935
00:50:11,010 --> 00:50:12,510
So let's go make it happen.
936
00:50:52,052 --> 00:50:54,919
It's beautiful.
937
00:50:54,988 --> 00:50:57,522
And you didn't snag
anyone in the process.
938
00:50:57,557 --> 00:50:59,490
That's half the fun.
939
00:50:59,526 --> 00:51:01,292
Is that something
you make a habit of doing?
940
00:51:01,328 --> 00:51:02,527
You were the first.
941
00:51:05,265 --> 00:51:09,901
Okay, so I think the tables
go here, here, and there.
942
00:51:09,936 --> 00:51:12,470
Ruby always puts them
against that wall over there.
943
00:51:12,539 --> 00:51:13,916
Yeah, but this way
would have better flow.
944
00:51:13,940 --> 00:51:15,773
Better flow?
945
00:51:15,842 --> 00:51:18,476
Yeah, so people can access
both sides of the table.
946
00:51:20,380 --> 00:51:23,483
- You are breaking out in hives.
- I'm fine.
947
00:51:23,550 --> 00:51:24,749
No, you're not.
948
00:51:24,785 --> 00:51:27,018
You're out of your comfort zone,
and it's bugging you.
949
00:51:27,054 --> 00:51:29,732
Is it so wrong for me to want my
comfort zones to be comfortable?
950
00:51:29,756 --> 00:51:32,657
And safe, and proven.
951
00:51:32,693 --> 00:51:35,961
I feel like we're veering away
from table arrangement talk.
952
00:51:35,996 --> 00:51:37,162
All right, that's fine.
953
00:51:37,197 --> 00:51:38,208
We can go back
to the comfort zone.
954
00:51:38,232 --> 00:51:39,232
Thank you.
955
00:51:40,434 --> 00:51:43,468
Although, for the record,
I can do change.
956
00:51:43,504 --> 00:51:45,248
I lived in New York
until a couple years ago.
957
00:51:45,272 --> 00:51:49,241
- So, what brought you back?
- My mom and dad retired.
958
00:51:49,276 --> 00:51:51,409
They always seemed
so invincible,
959
00:51:51,445 --> 00:51:54,246
and then suddenly, they were
taking a step back, and I...
960
00:51:54,281 --> 00:51:56,314
that made me realize
how much I was missing out on.
961
00:51:58,585 --> 00:52:02,287
Seeing them at Christmas
just wasn't enough for me anymore.
962
00:52:03,757 --> 00:52:06,091
So, I got a job at the hospital
and moved home.
963
00:52:08,562 --> 00:52:11,396
- Are you glad you did?
- No question.
964
00:52:14,434 --> 00:52:16,101
I've had more fun today
965
00:52:16,169 --> 00:52:20,405
than I've had
in longer than I can remember.
966
00:52:22,543 --> 00:52:26,678
Well...
I'm glad to be a part of it.
967
00:52:26,713 --> 00:52:28,246
Thank you.
968
00:52:40,594 --> 00:52:41,893
What's wrong?
969
00:52:41,929 --> 00:52:45,664
I have to go.
I have to go...
970
00:52:45,699 --> 00:52:49,134
help my mom with the,
gingerbread contest stuff.
971
00:52:49,169 --> 00:52:50,201
Okay.
972
00:52:50,270 --> 00:52:54,384
Thank you for the ice skating,
and the tree decorating, and...
973
00:52:54,408 --> 00:52:55,740
and everything.
974
00:52:55,776 --> 00:52:57,696
I think we're in good shape
for the Cookie Crawl.
975
00:53:42,422 --> 00:53:44,556
I need some cookies.
976
00:53:59,506 --> 00:54:01,006
No...
977
00:54:07,948 --> 00:54:08,948
No...
978
00:54:15,022 --> 00:54:17,255
The whole top
of the freezer was defrosted,
979
00:54:17,290 --> 00:54:19,057
and the dough went bad.
980
00:54:19,126 --> 00:54:20,492
The bottom half
stayed cold enough.
981
00:54:20,527 --> 00:54:21,760
That's good news.
982
00:54:21,795 --> 00:54:24,340
Yeah, except I had to go two towns
over to replace all the supplies.
983
00:54:24,364 --> 00:54:25,430
Two towns?
984
00:54:26,566 --> 00:54:29,234
Between the gingerbread contest
and the Cookie Crawl,
985
00:54:29,269 --> 00:54:31,280
it's like baking locusts
have descended on this town.
986
00:54:31,304 --> 00:54:33,371
You're not seriously
thinking about
987
00:54:33,407 --> 00:54:34,651
trying to make
more dough, are you?
988
00:54:34,675 --> 00:54:36,875
I have to.
The Crawl's in two days.
989
00:54:36,910 --> 00:54:38,376
With the Gala tomorrow night.
990
00:54:38,412 --> 00:54:41,513
And the gingerbread competition
I'm judging is tomorrow afternoon.
991
00:54:41,548 --> 00:54:43,548
Good luck, Wonder Woman.
992
00:54:43,617 --> 00:54:44,916
I know.
993
00:54:44,951 --> 00:54:47,886
I'm id something's gotta give,
and I'm afraid it might be me.
994
00:54:47,921 --> 00:54:49,761
You're still coming
to the Gala, though, right?
995
00:54:49,790 --> 00:54:50,989
Yes, of course!
996
00:54:51,024 --> 00:54:52,390
Okay, just checking.
997
00:54:52,459 --> 00:54:55,293
You've been in the Land
of Perpetual Sugar so long.
998
00:54:55,328 --> 00:54:56,828
I know how important it is.
999
00:54:56,863 --> 00:55:00,165
Good, because Margie isn't
too thrilled you've been gone.
1000
00:55:00,233 --> 00:55:02,100
What do you mean,
did she say something?
1001
00:55:02,135 --> 00:55:04,302
Nothing direct.
Just little comments,
1002
00:55:04,371 --> 00:55:05,770
and she made a big deal
1003
00:55:05,806 --> 00:55:07,750
about me giving you
the Hansen Candy report to do.
1004
00:55:07,774 --> 00:55:08,740
Well, I thought
you were out of town.
1005
00:55:08,775 --> 00:55:10,709
I was,
and I could've handled it.
1006
00:55:10,744 --> 00:55:13,356
But she kept saying
you were basically on vacation,
1007
00:55:13,380 --> 00:55:14,490
and that you should
pick up the slack.
1008
00:55:14,514 --> 00:55:15,847
Well, that's not good.
1009
00:55:15,882 --> 00:55:18,294
I mean, she's basically the biggest
factor in me making Director.
1010
00:55:18,318 --> 00:55:20,819
Right?
So don't skip.
1011
00:55:20,854 --> 00:55:22,921
Get Handsome Ben to help you.
1012
00:55:22,956 --> 00:55:24,756
I don't know about that.
1013
00:55:24,791 --> 00:55:26,691
Why? I thought you guys
were co-captains.
1014
00:55:26,727 --> 00:55:28,259
- Well...
- Wait.
1015
00:55:28,295 --> 00:55:29,735
Did something happen
between you two?
1016
00:55:30,731 --> 00:55:32,664
Something almost
happened between us,
1017
00:55:32,699 --> 00:55:35,801
and then he pulled away,
so it didn't, and then it got weird.
1018
00:55:38,305 --> 00:55:40,892
I think it's best if I do things
without Ben from now on.
1019
00:55:44,811 --> 00:55:49,614
Ben, you're awfully quiet today.
What's on your mind?
1020
00:55:50,817 --> 00:55:52,016
Nothing.
1021
00:55:52,052 --> 00:55:55,220
Just thinking about... work,
and the contest tomorrow,
1022
00:55:55,255 --> 00:55:56,721
and the Crawl.
1023
00:55:56,757 --> 00:55:57,757
How's all that going?
1024
00:55:58,859 --> 00:56:01,693
Fine. Great.
Amazing.
1025
00:56:15,242 --> 00:56:17,275
That is such good news.
1026
00:56:17,344 --> 00:56:19,210
And Dr. Walsh said
I was doing so well,
1027
00:56:19,246 --> 00:56:20,411
I could already use a cane.
1028
00:56:20,480 --> 00:56:23,414
That's wonderful.
1029
00:56:24,551 --> 00:56:25,884
What was that?
1030
00:56:28,588 --> 00:56:29,799
I just had to do
some last-minute shopping,
1031
00:56:29,823 --> 00:56:32,290
get some extra
dough ingredients.
1032
00:56:32,325 --> 00:56:33,491
How many extra?
1033
00:56:33,560 --> 00:56:35,960
Just... a little bit.
1034
00:56:36,029 --> 00:56:37,362
Joy...
1035
00:56:37,397 --> 00:56:40,265
I can hear it in your tone
that something's wrong,
1036
00:56:40,333 --> 00:56:43,068
so you might as well tell me
everything now, save us both the time.
1037
00:56:44,237 --> 00:56:45,804
Boy, do I need time.
1038
00:56:49,177 --> 00:56:50,543
Almost done.
1039
00:56:50,579 --> 00:56:52,123
Just got to let this section
dry for a couple hours,
1040
00:56:52,147 --> 00:56:53,224
and then it'll be ready
for the icing.
1041
00:56:53,248 --> 00:56:55,582
Ruby just called.
1042
00:56:55,617 --> 00:56:57,384
Why didn't you tell me
Joy had a problem
1043
00:56:57,419 --> 00:57:00,053
with the cookie dough
freezer, hmm?
1044
00:57:00,088 --> 00:57:02,123
- What, she didn't tell you?
- No.
1045
00:57:03,191 --> 00:57:05,570
I thought you guys were
spending all this time together.
1046
00:57:05,594 --> 00:57:07,861
I helped her get ready
for the Cookie Crawl.
1047
00:57:07,896 --> 00:57:10,063
- How bad is it?
- Half of it's gone,
1048
00:57:10,132 --> 00:57:12,510
and apparently, she's going
to stay up all night tonight.
1049
00:57:12,534 --> 00:57:13,845
She can't possibly
handle all that by herself.
1050
00:57:13,869 --> 00:57:15,502
No. She can't.
1051
00:57:33,822 --> 00:57:38,091
- Word travels fast.
- And we're here to help, sweetie.
1052
00:57:39,461 --> 00:57:40,961
Come on in.
1053
00:57:42,597 --> 00:57:45,932
Hi.
Thank you for coming.
1054
00:58:34,216 --> 00:58:36,416
Thank you guys so much
for all your hard work.
1055
00:58:36,451 --> 00:58:38,184
I know you did it
for Aunt Ruby, but...
1056
00:58:38,220 --> 00:58:41,388
- We did it for you and Ruby.
- I really appreciate it.
1057
00:58:41,456 --> 00:58:43,390
I know.
1058
00:58:43,458 --> 00:58:44,624
Well...
1059
00:58:45,761 --> 00:58:48,528
- All right.
- Get some rest.
1060
00:58:48,597 --> 00:58:49,597
Yeah.
1061
00:58:53,769 --> 00:58:56,603
- Bye, Shirley.
- Bye, sweetie.
1062
00:58:56,638 --> 00:58:57,737
Bye.
1063
00:58:59,741 --> 00:59:01,841
Hey, Ben...
1064
00:59:03,578 --> 00:59:05,812
- Thank you.
- Of course.
1065
00:59:09,151 --> 00:59:11,518
- Look, about yesterday...
- It's okay.
1066
00:59:11,586 --> 00:59:12,519
We got caught up in a moment,
it happens.
1067
00:59:12,587 --> 00:59:13,620
But I made it awkward...
1068
00:59:13,655 --> 00:59:15,321
Life gets awkward sometimes.
It's fine.
1069
00:59:15,390 --> 00:59:16,390
Like now?
1070
00:59:18,460 --> 00:59:19,926
See you tomorrow?
1071
00:59:19,961 --> 00:59:22,729
- Cookies and gingerbread.
- Cookies and gingerbread.
1072
00:59:25,534 --> 00:59:27,033
Thanks.
1073
00:59:40,082 --> 00:59:44,851
- Are those...
- The voting boxes without voter bias.
1074
00:59:44,886 --> 00:59:46,352
You can't see through them.
1075
00:59:48,690 --> 00:59:50,356
I like it.
1076
01:00:06,708 --> 01:00:08,441
Gosh!
1077
01:00:08,510 --> 01:00:12,045
It looks wonderful.
Tell Joy thank you.
1078
01:00:12,080 --> 01:00:15,782
Will do.
1079
01:00:25,293 --> 01:00:29,195
Each person
gets one coin to vote with.
1080
01:00:29,231 --> 01:00:31,731
Here you go.
1081
01:00:33,235 --> 01:00:34,868
Grab one...
1082
01:00:34,903 --> 01:00:36,870
Cast your vote.
1083
01:00:39,207 --> 01:00:40,207
Wisely?
1084
01:00:43,945 --> 01:00:46,813
- Joy?
- Excuse me.
1085
01:00:54,856 --> 01:00:55,856
Check, check...
1086
01:00:56,858 --> 01:00:59,859
Hi, everyone.
I'm Phil Finnegan,
1087
01:00:59,895 --> 01:01:03,763
and I am thrilled
to officially welcome you all
1088
01:01:03,798 --> 01:01:07,267
to Carolina's Best Flour's
Gingerbread Bake-Off!
1089
01:01:12,641 --> 01:01:15,486
This year, the honor
of announcing the winners
1090
01:01:15,510 --> 01:01:18,578
goes to our newest judge,
Joy Holbrook!
1091
01:01:20,415 --> 01:01:21,514
Thanks, Phil.
1092
01:01:21,550 --> 01:01:23,650
Thank you guys so much
for having me.
1093
01:01:23,685 --> 01:01:26,519
You have all done
a wonderful job here.
1094
01:01:26,555 --> 01:01:28,599
So, as you can see,
we went with a blind voting system,
1095
01:01:28,623 --> 01:01:30,801
so I think the results will be
a little bit more of a surprise
1096
01:01:30,825 --> 01:01:33,604
than you're used to.
But let's get down to business.
1097
01:01:33,628 --> 01:01:37,197
Based on our secret ballots,
we've tallied all your votes,
1098
01:01:37,232 --> 01:01:39,933
and I have
the top three winners here.
1099
01:01:40,201 --> 01:01:45,135
Third prize goes to the Carolina
Panthers' stadium at Christmas.
1100
01:01:49,978 --> 01:01:52,979
- Congratulations.
- Well done.
1101
01:01:55,317 --> 01:01:57,584
Second prize goes to...
1102
01:01:57,619 --> 01:01:59,385
the Christmas Carousel!
1103
01:02:04,259 --> 01:02:06,392
Well done.
1104
01:02:06,428 --> 01:02:07,827
And the winner
1105
01:02:07,862 --> 01:02:12,432
of Carolina's Best Flour's
Gingerbread Bake-Off is...
1106
01:02:12,467 --> 01:02:16,102
Santa's Workshop
among the trees!
1107
01:02:17,272 --> 01:02:21,808
Brought to you by the mother-son duo
of Ben and Shirley Andrews.
1108
01:02:28,283 --> 01:02:30,350
Victory photo!
1109
01:02:30,385 --> 01:02:32,986
First-place winners, bravo!
1110
01:02:33,989 --> 01:02:34,989
Got it.
1111
01:02:36,725 --> 01:02:40,960
And now for the words
that everybody's been waiting for...
1112
01:02:40,996 --> 01:02:42,662
time to eat!
1113
01:02:47,469 --> 01:02:49,502
- Congrats.
- Thank you.
1114
01:02:51,072 --> 01:02:54,140
- Look! Look at that.
- Well done! Congratulations.
1115
01:02:54,175 --> 01:02:55,175
Thanks, Dad.
1116
01:02:58,013 --> 01:02:59,156
Are you heading back to D.C.?
1117
01:02:59,180 --> 01:03:02,415
My company's Christmas Gala is tonight.
It's just five hours away.
1118
01:03:02,450 --> 01:03:03,650
After the gingerbread contest,
1119
01:03:03,685 --> 01:03:05,551
and staying up all night
making cookie dough?
1120
01:03:05,587 --> 01:03:06,907
I've been drinking
lots of coffee.
1121
01:03:08,123 --> 01:03:09,734
Well, I just wanted
to come out and tell you
1122
01:03:09,758 --> 01:03:10,935
you did a great job
with the judging.
1123
01:03:10,959 --> 01:03:12,792
The blind voting idea
was a good one.
1124
01:03:12,861 --> 01:03:13,861
Thank you.
1125
01:03:13,895 --> 01:03:15,695
But Ashley really did
99% of the work.
1126
01:03:15,730 --> 01:03:17,430
Now who's dazzling
with the data?
1127
01:03:17,499 --> 01:03:18,831
That's what I do.
1128
01:03:20,368 --> 01:03:21,801
I know you gotta
get out of here,
1129
01:03:21,836 --> 01:03:23,536
this is just one thing.
1130
01:03:24,839 --> 01:03:27,907
- What's this?
- It's just a Christmas present.
1131
01:03:27,942 --> 01:03:31,411
Open it later.
You gotta get going, I know.
1132
01:03:31,446 --> 01:03:33,546
I'm coming back
for the Cookie Crawl tomorrow.
1133
01:03:33,581 --> 01:03:34,759
You could just
give it to me then.
1134
01:03:34,783 --> 01:03:38,751
Just in case you decided to change
your mind and stay in D.C.
1135
01:03:44,793 --> 01:03:45,958
Thank you.
1136
01:03:50,231 --> 01:03:52,165
Well, drive safe.
1137
01:04:15,326 --> 01:04:17,059
Ben!
1138
01:04:17,094 --> 01:04:18,593
Hey, Dad.
1139
01:04:18,629 --> 01:04:20,228
I saw you heading out this way.
1140
01:04:20,264 --> 01:04:22,497
Whatcha doing?
1141
01:04:22,533 --> 01:04:24,099
Thinkin'.
1142
01:04:24,168 --> 01:04:27,135
About anything in particular?
1143
01:04:27,171 --> 01:04:28,637
Joy.
1144
01:04:30,374 --> 01:04:34,276
I'm guessing you mean the
young lady, not the emotion.
1145
01:04:34,311 --> 01:04:37,112
Unless one brings the other.
1146
01:04:37,147 --> 01:04:40,549
I feel like I'm setting myself up
for heartbreak.
1147
01:04:40,584 --> 01:04:43,785
Well, that very well could be.
1148
01:04:43,854 --> 01:04:44,854
I gotta say,
1149
01:04:44,888 --> 01:04:48,357
you're not looking real happy
at this moment, either.
1150
01:04:48,392 --> 01:04:50,459
But Joy lives in D.C.
1151
01:04:50,494 --> 01:04:54,596
What if I'm getting myself right
back in the same kind of situation?
1152
01:04:54,631 --> 01:04:56,898
Well, that's the risk.
1153
01:04:56,934 --> 01:04:59,501
Anytime you put yourself out there,
there's always a risk.
1154
01:04:59,570 --> 01:05:03,038
I know, Dad.
I know she's not Anne.
1155
01:05:03,073 --> 01:05:05,841
Well then, if you like her
and you want her to know it,
1156
01:05:05,876 --> 01:05:08,243
you gotta find her
and tell her, and...
1157
01:05:08,278 --> 01:05:11,647
then wait and see if she'll
stick around for the long haul.
1158
01:05:11,682 --> 01:05:16,151
Like everybody else.
1159
01:05:16,186 --> 01:05:18,186
There are no shortcuts, Ben.
1160
01:05:36,673 --> 01:05:38,507
Come on...
1161
01:06:25,122 --> 01:06:27,489
Oh, Ben...
1162
01:06:33,464 --> 01:06:34,663
Hey.
1163
01:06:34,698 --> 01:06:35,530
Hey, I'm downstairs in the car.
1164
01:06:35,566 --> 01:06:38,467
Okay, I'll be right down.
Sorry, traffic was crazy.
1165
01:06:38,535 --> 01:06:39,846
I'll just, I have to
finish my hair in the car.
1166
01:06:39,870 --> 01:06:41,203
See you soon.
1167
01:07:17,307 --> 01:07:19,274
Joy, Renee,
it's good to see you.
1168
01:07:19,309 --> 01:07:20,575
You too.
1169
01:07:20,611 --> 01:07:22,491
Does this mean you're back
in D.C. for good now?
1170
01:07:22,546 --> 01:07:24,279
I have to run back tomorrow.
1171
01:07:24,348 --> 01:07:26,515
My aunt's getting
released from the hospital,
1172
01:07:26,550 --> 01:07:27,849
and it's the Cookie Crawl.
1173
01:07:27,885 --> 01:07:29,851
Isn't that what you've been
doing the entire time?
1174
01:07:29,887 --> 01:07:31,720
I've been preparing
for the Crawl.
1175
01:07:33,290 --> 01:07:35,090
How lovely.
1176
01:07:35,159 --> 01:07:37,560
Sure. That's great.
Excuse me.
1177
01:07:39,530 --> 01:07:40,962
Mrs. Weatherton,
how are you?
1178
01:07:40,998 --> 01:07:42,108
Hey, did you ever hear
what was going on
1179
01:07:42,132 --> 01:07:43,309
with the Weatherton's account?
1180
01:07:43,333 --> 01:07:46,334
No, but Fran in Margie's office said
1181
01:07:46,403 --> 01:07:48,515
they weren't even sure Poppy
was gonna show up tonight.
1182
01:07:48,539 --> 01:07:51,873
- That's not good.
- Well, at least she's here.
1183
01:07:51,909 --> 01:07:54,609
And you, too!
1184
01:07:54,678 --> 01:07:55,755
It's nice to see
your pretty face
1185
01:07:55,779 --> 01:07:57,512
on something other
than a monitor.
1186
01:07:57,548 --> 01:07:58,647
You too.
1187
01:07:58,682 --> 01:07:59,881
Now let's go to the bar,
1188
01:07:59,917 --> 01:08:03,051
and you can tell me all about
what's going on with Ben.
1189
01:08:11,962 --> 01:08:14,429
Thank you.
1190
01:08:14,464 --> 01:08:17,666
- I knew that dress was perfect.
- Mrs. Weatherton...
1191
01:08:17,701 --> 01:08:19,568
I called your office last week.
1192
01:08:19,603 --> 01:08:23,205
They said you were out of town,
in North Carolina?
1193
01:08:23,240 --> 01:08:24,439
Yes, ma'am.
1194
01:08:24,474 --> 01:08:26,841
- Crystal Falls?
- I know that place.
1195
01:08:26,877 --> 01:08:29,844
- You do?
- Yes, I have family in Charlotte.
1196
01:08:29,913 --> 01:08:31,246
What brought you there?
1197
01:08:31,281 --> 01:08:33,748
I was helping my aunt
with the town Cookie Crawl.
1198
01:08:33,784 --> 01:08:35,150
The...
1199
01:08:35,219 --> 01:08:37,686
I'm sorry, did you say
you called the office for me?
1200
01:08:37,721 --> 01:08:38,887
Yes.
1201
01:08:38,922 --> 01:08:40,755
If your office
is anything like ours,
1202
01:08:40,791 --> 01:08:42,202
I'm sure you've heard
some gossip lately.
1203
01:08:42,226 --> 01:08:45,527
I came here in part tonight
to let you know
1204
01:08:45,562 --> 01:08:48,396
that there are going to be
some changes starting in January,
1205
01:08:48,465 --> 01:08:51,333
and I want you to know
1206
01:08:51,368 --> 01:08:54,803
that I valued your input
in our account over the years,
1207
01:08:54,838 --> 01:08:58,773
even when you didn't get
the... obvious credit.
1208
01:09:00,811 --> 01:09:03,379
Thank you, so much.
That means a lot to me.
1209
01:09:04,781 --> 01:09:08,383
- Cookie Crawl?
- Cookie Crawl.
1210
01:09:08,418 --> 01:09:11,786
My imagination is...
running wild.
1211
01:09:19,930 --> 01:09:21,263
Okay, let's go.
1212
01:09:21,298 --> 01:09:23,698
Of course, Mrs. Weatherton.
This way.
1213
01:09:23,734 --> 01:09:25,868
- Have you ever head of a Cookie Crawl?
- I have not.
1214
01:09:25,902 --> 01:09:26,735
Look it up for me, would you?
1215
01:09:26,770 --> 01:09:29,271
Joy!
What did Poppy Weatherton say?
1216
01:09:29,339 --> 01:09:32,073
She just wanted to thank me
for working on her account.
1217
01:09:32,142 --> 01:09:33,174
What's going on?
1218
01:09:33,210 --> 01:09:37,545
Okay, you can't say anything yet,
but we lost Weatherton's.
1219
01:09:37,614 --> 01:09:40,155
- What?
- I just found out for certain...
1220
01:09:40,183 --> 01:09:41,783
which means that
I'm going to need to you
1221
01:09:41,818 --> 01:09:43,229
to work double-time
starting tomorrow.
1222
01:09:43,253 --> 01:09:44,753
I can't tomorrow.
1223
01:09:44,788 --> 01:09:47,000
My aunt comes home,
and then we have the Cookie Crawl.
1224
01:09:47,024 --> 01:09:50,558
Joy, we just lost
one of our biggest clients.
1225
01:09:50,594 --> 01:09:55,497
We can't waste any time finding
a way to replace that revenue.
1226
01:09:55,532 --> 01:09:58,199
- I promised my aunt.
- She'll understand.
1227
01:09:58,235 --> 01:09:59,235
I won't.
1228
01:10:00,637 --> 01:10:04,139
Joy, just...
I want you to think about things.
1229
01:10:04,174 --> 01:10:06,975
Now, they haven't announced
the promotions yet.
1230
01:10:09,046 --> 01:10:12,013
- What are you saying?
- Just be smart about this.
1231
01:10:12,049 --> 01:10:13,548
This is your career.
1232
01:10:13,583 --> 01:10:17,085
Now, you could very well be
busier than you have ever been.
1233
01:10:17,154 --> 01:10:19,054
I already pour so much
of my time into this job,
1234
01:10:19,122 --> 01:10:20,700
that I barely see my friends
or my aunt as it is...
1235
01:10:20,724 --> 01:10:23,024
- Joy...
- I'm sorry, Margie.
1236
01:10:23,093 --> 01:10:24,570
If it's a couple of days
that you need, I...
1237
01:10:24,594 --> 01:10:26,795
No. Thank you, though.
1238
01:10:26,830 --> 01:10:29,230
You know, I've been dreaming
of this Christmas Gala
1239
01:10:29,266 --> 01:10:30,231
for so long,
1240
01:10:30,267 --> 01:10:33,735
and now that I'm here, I just...
I feel so disconnected.
1241
01:10:33,770 --> 01:10:36,204
- All I wanna be is...
- In Crystal Falls?
1242
01:10:38,942 --> 01:10:41,643
It's my home.
1243
01:10:42,746 --> 01:10:44,813
I will let the partners know.
1244
01:10:44,848 --> 01:10:48,850
Thank you.
For so many things.
1245
01:10:48,919 --> 01:10:51,619
Joy...
1246
01:10:58,962 --> 01:11:00,495
- Hi!
- Hi!
1247
01:11:00,530 --> 01:11:03,164
- I think I just quit my job.
- You did not.
1248
01:11:04,301 --> 01:11:05,500
Cheers.
1249
01:11:38,235 --> 01:11:40,869
- Cheers!
- What?
1250
01:11:40,904 --> 01:11:42,704
- Oh, my gosh...
- I'm a free woman.
1251
01:11:42,739 --> 01:11:44,150
- What are you gonna do?
- I don't know.
1252
01:11:44,174 --> 01:11:47,153
Hey, we need more
champagne from the back.
1253
01:11:47,177 --> 01:11:49,711
- Excuse me?
- Champagne. From the back.
1254
01:11:49,746 --> 01:11:50,746
Come on.
1255
01:12:11,868 --> 01:12:13,535
Can you excuse me
for just a second?
1256
01:12:13,570 --> 01:12:15,503
Yeah.
1257
01:12:21,011 --> 01:12:22,011
Excuse me.
1258
01:12:48,839 --> 01:12:50,016
Hi. You've reached
Ben Andrews.
1259
01:12:50,040 --> 01:12:51,473
Please leave a message.
1260
01:13:08,825 --> 01:13:11,059
Can you grab my car, please?
1261
01:13:16,382 --> 01:13:17,969
I'm doing it.
1262
01:13:21,273 --> 01:13:22,639
Yup...
1263
01:13:22,675 --> 01:13:25,842
Thanks to the helping hands
of friends and family,
1264
01:13:25,911 --> 01:13:28,212
we have five tables set up
for the Cookie Crawl.
1265
01:13:35,521 --> 01:13:38,722
- So... when can I see?
- Soon.
1266
01:13:38,757 --> 01:13:41,525
We've still got a bit of work to do,
but we'll get it done.
1267
01:13:41,560 --> 01:13:43,060
Yes, we will.
1268
01:13:47,333 --> 01:13:49,499
So, when are the Andrews clan
coming over tonight?
1269
01:13:49,568 --> 01:13:51,468
I'm not sure.
1270
01:13:51,503 --> 01:13:54,404
I haven't heard back
from Ben yet.
1271
01:13:55,474 --> 01:13:56,474
What's going on?
1272
01:13:58,043 --> 01:13:59,710
I don't know.
1273
01:13:59,745 --> 01:14:02,557
We worked together great
on the gingerbread competition,
1274
01:14:02,581 --> 01:14:04,681
and then he pulled back,
1275
01:14:04,717 --> 01:14:06,494
and then he showed up
at the MacDonald Webber Gala.
1276
01:14:06,518 --> 01:14:08,652
- In D.C.?
- Yes!
1277
01:14:08,687 --> 01:14:10,821
But he left
before I could talk to him,
1278
01:14:10,856 --> 01:14:13,590
and it's just been
radio silence ever since.
1279
01:14:13,626 --> 01:14:16,893
- That doesn't seem like Ben.
- I know.
1280
01:14:16,929 --> 01:14:18,573
So, I don't know what to do
about the Cookie Crawl.
1281
01:14:18,597 --> 01:14:20,631
That'll take care of itself.
1282
01:14:20,699 --> 01:14:22,332
The important thing is
how you're doing.
1283
01:14:25,571 --> 01:14:28,038
- I don't like feeling like this.
- Vulnerable?
1284
01:14:29,174 --> 01:14:30,207
Yeah.
1285
01:14:30,276 --> 01:14:32,976
Love makes us vulnerable.
1286
01:14:33,012 --> 01:14:34,611
And I am pleased as punch
1287
01:14:34,647 --> 01:14:36,327
that you're feeling that way
about someone.
1288
01:14:37,549 --> 01:14:40,284
- Ben is a good one.
- Then why won't he call me back?
1289
01:14:42,087 --> 01:14:44,622
That's up to you to figure out
before you leave.
1290
01:14:45,724 --> 01:14:47,824
About that.
1291
01:14:47,860 --> 01:14:49,059
How would you feel
1292
01:14:49,094 --> 01:14:50,794
about having a roommate
for a little while?
1293
01:14:52,231 --> 01:14:55,299
- Are you considering...
- Making some changes in my life,
1294
01:14:55,334 --> 01:14:57,301
and making time
for the people I love.
1295
01:15:00,005 --> 01:15:02,472
I think that would be
the greatest Christmas gift
1296
01:15:02,541 --> 01:15:03,573
that you could give me.
1297
01:15:12,751 --> 01:15:13,751
Hello!
1298
01:15:13,819 --> 01:15:15,118
I bought a new one
1299
01:15:15,154 --> 01:15:16,331
so I thought I'd bring back
your old snow shovel...
1300
01:15:16,355 --> 01:15:18,566
- Why aren't you calling Joy back?
- And good morning, Mom.
1301
01:15:18,590 --> 01:15:20,657
Ruby's home, and she said
1302
01:15:20,693 --> 01:15:21,803
that Joy has been trying
to get ahold of you,
1303
01:15:21,827 --> 01:15:22,726
and you are not responding.
1304
01:15:22,761 --> 01:15:25,307
- Mom, let me handle it.
- Except you're not handling it.
1305
01:15:25,331 --> 01:15:26,463
I'll make it a point
1306
01:15:26,532 --> 01:15:28,231
to say goodbye
before she goes back to D.C.
1307
01:15:28,267 --> 01:15:30,245
Well, that shows how little you know.
She's staying.
1308
01:15:30,269 --> 01:15:31,601
What?
1309
01:15:31,670 --> 01:15:33,103
Yeah.
1310
01:15:33,172 --> 01:15:34,738
In Crystal Falls.
1311
01:15:34,807 --> 01:15:36,740
It seems she turned down
some big promotion,
1312
01:15:36,809 --> 01:15:38,775
and decided to move
back home for a bit.
1313
01:15:38,811 --> 01:15:40,677
Why?
1314
01:15:40,713 --> 01:15:43,980
You'll have to
ask her that yourself.
1315
01:16:00,433 --> 01:16:01,565
Careful.
1316
01:16:02,902 --> 01:16:05,503
- Just a couple more steps.
- Okay.
1317
01:16:09,976 --> 01:16:11,542
Ta-dah!
1318
01:16:17,150 --> 01:16:21,252
It's like Mother Nature came
and decorated it herself.
1319
01:16:21,287 --> 01:16:22,620
That's what I was going for.
1320
01:16:22,688 --> 01:16:24,688
We're serving two kinds
of hot chocolate.
1321
01:16:24,724 --> 01:16:26,691
- Regular and...
- And one with kick,
1322
01:16:26,726 --> 01:16:28,592
like Emma used to make for you.
1323
01:16:28,661 --> 01:16:32,163
Joy, it is just perfect.
1324
01:16:32,198 --> 01:16:36,000
- Perfect.
- Good. I'm glad you're happy.
1325
01:16:36,035 --> 01:16:37,668
I love it.
1326
01:16:45,044 --> 01:16:46,410
By the way,
1327
01:16:46,445 --> 01:16:49,613
I found out what
Twyla Taft's theme is.
1328
01:16:50,716 --> 01:16:52,483
"Chocolate Chip".
1329
01:16:52,518 --> 01:16:54,084
That's it?
1330
01:16:55,221 --> 01:16:56,365
It's like
she wasn't even trying.
1331
01:16:56,389 --> 01:16:59,657
I almost feel bad
how good ours is.
1332
01:16:59,692 --> 01:17:01,859
Almost.
1333
01:17:09,035 --> 01:17:11,068
Here we go!
1334
01:17:14,607 --> 01:17:15,873
Come on.
1335
01:17:18,711 --> 01:17:19,711
Make yourselves at home.
1336
01:17:21,480 --> 01:17:23,581
Come on in.
1337
01:17:25,084 --> 01:17:27,952
Welcome!
Good to see you.
1338
01:17:48,140 --> 01:17:50,140
Excuse me.
1339
01:17:50,176 --> 01:17:51,742
You made it!
1340
01:17:51,777 --> 01:17:54,111
There was no way
I was going to miss this.
1341
01:17:56,082 --> 01:17:57,114
- Where is he?
- Who?
1342
01:17:57,183 --> 01:17:58,449
Ben!
1343
01:18:00,119 --> 01:18:02,331
I'm not sure he's going to make it.
I haven't seen him yet.
1344
01:18:02,355 --> 01:18:06,190
- Well, the night's not over yet.
- Okay.
1345
01:18:07,827 --> 01:18:09,126
Hi, everyone!
1346
01:18:10,763 --> 01:18:13,831
It's so great to see you all.
1347
01:18:13,900 --> 01:18:16,333
I just wanted
to take this moment to say...
1348
01:18:16,402 --> 01:18:20,437
thank you to Joy,
for all her hard work
1349
01:18:20,473 --> 01:18:22,006
so we could all celebrate
this night.
1350
01:18:23,409 --> 01:18:24,975
Thank you.
1351
01:18:25,011 --> 01:18:27,177
As you were.
1352
01:18:30,182 --> 01:18:31,382
Ben made this for me.
1353
01:18:31,450 --> 01:18:34,451
That reminds me of the one
that Emma gave you.
1354
01:18:34,487 --> 01:18:38,155
- I love it.
- I do, too.
1355
01:18:40,559 --> 01:18:41,725
Excuse me.
1356
01:18:41,761 --> 01:18:44,094
So, this is a Cookie Crawl.
1357
01:18:44,130 --> 01:18:47,531
Mrs. Weatherton, what...
what are you doing here?
1358
01:18:47,566 --> 01:18:49,300
I was over in Charlotte,
and I got curious.
1359
01:18:51,037 --> 01:18:52,803
It really is extraordinary.
1360
01:18:52,838 --> 01:18:55,941
A lot of people worked very hard
to make this happen.
1361
01:18:56,842 --> 01:18:59,843
- But you took point, didn't you?
- I did.
1362
01:18:59,912 --> 01:19:00,778
I thought as much.
1363
01:19:00,813 --> 01:19:02,646
You probably know by now
1364
01:19:02,715 --> 01:19:05,082
I've taken Weatherton's
market research out
1365
01:19:05,117 --> 01:19:06,684
from MacDonald-Webber.
1366
01:19:06,719 --> 01:19:08,185
Margie mentioned it to me.
1367
01:19:08,220 --> 01:19:09,753
What she likely didn't mention
1368
01:19:09,822 --> 01:19:13,524
is that I've decided to create
an in-house marketing division,
1369
01:19:13,559 --> 01:19:16,695
and I would love for you to be
part of the leadership team.
1370
01:19:17,697 --> 01:19:19,964
- Me?
- Yes. If you're interested.
1371
01:19:19,999 --> 01:19:23,100
Of course, that would likely
entail a move on your part
1372
01:19:23,135 --> 01:19:25,569
since I'm opening a new store
1373
01:19:25,604 --> 01:19:27,471
and new corporate offices
in Charlotte.
1374
01:19:28,641 --> 01:19:31,241
But something tells me
you won't mind.
1375
01:19:31,277 --> 01:19:36,380
I do hope you'll call me
on January 2nd to discuss.
1376
01:19:37,917 --> 01:19:39,116
Thank you.
1377
01:19:40,653 --> 01:19:42,987
And now, if you'll excuse me,
I'm dying for a ginger snap.
1378
01:19:43,022 --> 01:19:44,022
Enjoy.
1379
01:20:11,484 --> 01:20:12,484
Oh, my.
1380
01:20:15,254 --> 01:20:18,522
You're here.
I wasn't sure if...
1381
01:20:18,557 --> 01:20:20,057
I am co-captain.
1382
01:20:20,092 --> 01:20:23,360
It's as much your doing
as anyone else's.
1383
01:20:23,396 --> 01:20:25,863
You brought everything
together so nicely.
1384
01:20:28,200 --> 01:20:29,840
I'm sorry I wasn't here
for the last part.
1385
01:20:31,904 --> 01:20:33,570
But you were in D.C., right?
1386
01:20:37,977 --> 01:20:39,657
So why did you leave
without talking to me?
1387
01:20:41,213 --> 01:20:42,880
You looked so beautiful
in that dress.
1388
01:20:44,583 --> 01:20:46,350
And the way you fit in
with that world,
1389
01:20:46,385 --> 01:20:49,053
I never could do that.
1390
01:20:50,990 --> 01:20:52,456
And I got scared.
1391
01:20:55,394 --> 01:20:58,162
But I'd like to try again,
if you'll let me.
1392
01:21:01,067 --> 01:21:02,900
Maybe this time without the tux.
1393
01:21:04,770 --> 01:21:07,171
I liked the tux,
it was a nice touch.
1394
01:21:07,206 --> 01:21:09,206
- I liked that dress.
- You did?
1395
01:21:09,241 --> 01:21:10,474
You looked beautiful.
1396
01:21:13,145 --> 01:21:16,747
So, Joy Holbrook,
will you go to dinner with me?
1397
01:21:16,782 --> 01:21:18,315
Crystal Falls Lodge?
1398
01:21:18,350 --> 01:21:20,617
It's not just for proms
and Sweet 16 parties.
1399
01:21:20,653 --> 01:21:23,455
- I think that can be arranged.
- Can it?
1400
01:21:24,690 --> 01:21:26,757
Turns out, I have a lot
of arranging to do.
1401
01:21:26,792 --> 01:21:28,926
I'm going to be
starting a new job
1402
01:21:28,994 --> 01:21:31,829
with Weatherton's office,
in Charlotte.
1403
01:21:33,466 --> 01:21:34,698
That's commuting distance.
1404
01:21:34,733 --> 01:21:38,802
Which is a good thing,
since I plan to be in Crystal Falls
1405
01:21:38,838 --> 01:21:40,437
for a very long time.
1406
01:21:41,774 --> 01:21:42,774
Are you sure?
1407
01:21:44,643 --> 01:21:46,977
Took me a little while
to realize it, but...
1408
01:21:47,046 --> 01:21:49,613
"When you pick out
anything by itself... "
1409
01:21:49,682 --> 01:21:51,548
"... you find it hitched
to everything else".
1410
01:21:51,584 --> 01:21:53,850
And I'm hitched here.
1411
01:22:06,851 --> 01:22:12,850
