I'm sorry,
can you say that again?

Yes, the newest Gellar painting
will be on display

at the gallery opening tonight.

Right now we have
three interested buyers,

but the seller hasn't
made a decision yet.

Well, it's definitely
worth seeing in person.

Look, if you wanna make an offer

I can put in
a good word for you.

Thank you.

Okay, great, thanks.

Okay, how's it going today?

Great. The caterer's
setting up the tables

and all the plaques
have been hung

by their corresponding
paintings,

- ready for your approval.
- Okay.

Okay, the lighting on these
oil paintings is too harsh.

We gotta move them to the front,
put a softer light on them.

Good catch.

And let's put up
a couple decorations,

but tonight's really
about the exhibit.

Next week, we can go all out
for the gallery Christmas party.

- Great.
- Thanks, April.

Thanks.

I know that look.
What's wrong?

- The frames on this wall clash.
- You're right.

Let's try that in a gold frame.
I think that would look better.

I don't know what I would do
without you, Heidi.

This whole opening tonight
is thanks to you.

I'm so glad you acquired
that Gellar collection.

Just doing my job, boss.

Pleasure doing business
with you too. Bye.

Another successful sale?

If all goes well, yeah.

Julia's sending me
to get a salad.

Did you want anything?

No, I'm okay, thank you.

Will you hand me
my vendor binder over there?

I have to order another frame
ASAP for tonight.

Sure.

What's this?

That's actually my portfolio.

You're an artist?

Yeah. That's originally
why I applied

to be Julia's assistant.
Thanks.

I just wanted to get my foot in
the door, have my work be seen.

Do you mind if I take a look?

Sure.

Oh, my goodness.

You're really good.

Has Julia seen these?

Briefly, yeah,
when I first started.

- I love that one.
- That's awesome.

She was more impressed
with my assistant skills,

so painting,
I put on the back burner.

I asked her the other day if she
wanted to take another look,

and she said, "Soon,"

but I think
she was just being nice.

You should keep at it.

Yeah, I want to.
I just have to find the time.

This is Heidi.

Hi, Mr. Collins.

We loved your new prints.

When can you come in?

So I know this last unit
was pretty difficult,

and a lot of you guys are
having trouble concentrating

with Christmas break
coming around the corner,

but... I know you guys
can do better,

which is why, on Friday,

I'm gonna let you guys
retake it.

All right?

Sound good?

Have a good one, guys.
I'll see ya soon.

Hey, Tom.

Hey, can you hang back
for a sec?

Is everything okay?

You usually do a lot better
than that on the test.

Yeah, just a lot of details
to memorize.

Nothing's distracting you?

No.

Good, good,

'cause as your hockey coach,

I get to see firsthand
how well you do

when you really dedicate
yourself to something.

I will study more.

Okay, well, let me know
if you need any help, all right?

Thanks, Mr. Shepherd.

Have a good one, Tom.

Matt, please let Erica know that
I still have her slow cooker.

I didn't forget. I will get it
back to her this weekend.

Do you have a second?

Yeah, yeah.

I need to ask a favor.

Oh, no.
That's the tone of voice you use

when you want something
as a vice principal

and not my best friend.

What are you talking about?

This is my normal voice.

All right, fine.

It's a bit of a good news,
bad news situation.

Yeah?

Good news, Nancy had her baby
a few weeks early.

- That's wonderful.
- It is.

And the bad news is?

She was in charge
of the Snowball Dance,

and I need somebody
to take over planning it.

Are you really asking me to
take over the Christmas dance?

Everybody else is busy.

Hockey doesn't start
till next year,

I figure who better
to plan the Snowball Dance

than the guy who was
once crowned the Snowball King.

That was forever ago.
Why don't you just do it?

I have two-year-old twins, man.
You think I have any free time?

What makes you think
I know anything about

running a Christmas dance?

Nancy left me all her plans,
all right?

All you gotta do is
finish setting up the gym,

confirm with the deejay,
that sort of thing.

It's nothing major.

Look, you'd be doing me,
the students,

and most importantly,
Christmas itself a huge favor.

Can I talk to my best friend
for a second

- and not my vice principal?
- Shoot.

You're not gonna believe what
my boss just asked me to do.

Look, I'll get you a list of PTA
parents you can ask to volunteer

if you need a hand.

What do you say?

- Fine.
- You're the best!

Thank you.
I gotta get to a meeting.

I appreciate it.
Thank you so much, Chris!

You're welcome.

- Hi. Thank you for coming.
- Hey.

Heidi, I want you to meet
Mr. Gellar.

Hi.
It's so nice to meet you.

I'm a huge admirer of your work.

Thank you.
This opening is incredible.

Julia here says
that it's all thanks to you.

Oh, well, I had a lot of help.

Heidi here is my right-hand
woman at the gallery.

She started off as my assistant,

but within
just a couple of months,

I saw her raw talent
for art dealing.

She has a good eye
for what sells.

That's because
Heidi is also a painter.

- A really good one.
- Is that so?

Yes, I used to paint,
and now I do this.

Well, you've chosen
the right path.

The gallery is wonderful.

You should see
what she has in store

for the gallery
Christmas party coming up.

- You will be there, won't you?
- Without a doubt.

- Great.
- Yeah.

Is that Nick Jones by chance?

Yes, it is.
You should absolutely meet him.

- Come, I'll introduce you.
- Excuse us.

Hope it's okay
that I said you're a painter.

Yeah, of course.
I'm sure most people here

have similar aspirations.

Do you miss it?

Yes, very much.

But this is a good job,
and I'm lucky to have it.

Hey, dinner's almost ready.
No snacking.

Got an email
from Mr. Shepherd today.

He says he needs volunteers
for the Snowball Dance.

What, like chaperone?

No, I wouldn't do that to you.

Just to help decorate
and set it all up.

- Cool.
- So you're going, right?

Yeah, probably,
with like a group of friends.

Mr. Shepherd also mentioned
you didn't do so great

on your history test.

Hey, dishes by hand tonight.
The dishwasher's broken.

- So the test.
- It was super hard,

and most of the people
in the class didn't do well.

Okay, well, I'm glad
he's offering a makeup.

This week I'm thinking less
hockey time, more study time.

Hey, Katie,
how's pageant rehearsal going?

Terrible.

Why do I feel like
you're being overly dramatic?

It is.

You've been hoping
for this solo all year,

and now you're not into it?

It's a horrid song.

There are a lot of lyrics
to remember.

You're gonna do great.

Great news.

Close on the house
for the Scoffers?

Oh, no, better.

Guess which husband-and-wife
realtor duo

just got asked to be
the keynote speakers

at the National Realtor
Convention?

Wait, what? Us?

- That's amazing.
- I know!

Maybe we can all make
a trip out of it next year.

No, no, it's for
this year's convention.

The speaker they had
dropped out last minute.

We leave tomorrow.

Sorry.

- April, I have to take this.
- Okay, no worries.

- Hey, Megan.
- Enjoying your evening?

Megan, you know I love
those kids more than anything,

but now is really
not a good time.

It's only for two nights.

I know, but I have
three sales in the works,

and I'm really busy
trying to get ready

for this gallery
Christmas party.

Every agent, art dealer,
and artist in Manhattan

is gonna be there.

I don't get how you moving
to New York to be a painter

turned into you being
a fancy party planner.

Well, plans change.

So can they change this time

and help me and John out?

Can't Mom and Dad
come back early?

No, they don't dock
from their Italian cruise

till the end of the week.

That's right.

Hey, Mom,
I can take care of Katie.

Nice try, but I'm not
leaving my 15-year-old son

alone for two nights.

- I babysit all the time.
- For a couple of hours.

- Overnight is different.
- Okay.

Heidi, this is a huge
opportunity for John and me.

I wouldn't be asking
if I didn't really need this.

Okay, let me see what I can do.

Thank you, thank you.

You're the best sister
in the world.

- I know.
- I love you.

I love you too. Bye.

Somebody just made an offer

on four of the Gellar
still lifes.

That's great.

- Julia, do you have a second?
- Yeah.

My sister and my brother-in-law,

they have to leave town
unexpectedly

and they need someone to watch
my niece and nephew.

I was wondering if I could take
a couple days and help them out.

You can't be serious.

We have the Christmas party
to get ready for.

You know how important that is.

I know, but I can continue
to do the prep while I'm gone.

Well, what about our clients?

You have to follow up
on the Anderson sales,

and the Clover buyer.

I know, but I can
do it all remotely.

Listen, she would not ask
if it wasn't really important.

Okay, just promise me

you'll be back in time
for the Christmas party.

I promise.

Where are you from again?

Pleasant Valley, Pennsylvania.

Sounds cozy.

Thanks.

- Aunt Heidi!
- Hi, Katie!

Wait a minute. Who's this tall
guy wearing my nephew's clothes?

Hi. So yeah, Mom said
it was totally fine

if I threw a party
while you were here, so...

- Oh, did she?
- Mm-hmm.

- Have you met your Mom?
- Well, it was worth a try.

Hi. We have to head
to the airport,

so I just wanted to give you
a quick rundown of everything.

Okay, sure.

So you have to make sure Katie
is at drop-off by 7:45 a.m.

Tom has a makeup history test
on Friday,

so he needs to be
studying for that.

The fridge is fully stocked.

I left out recipes
for all the meals.

Here's a credit card
in case of emergency...

- I will hold onto that for you.
- No, you won't.

Also, Katie has a solo
in her school Christmas pageant,

so she needs to be
practicing for that.

Okay, there's emergency
numbers on the fridge...

Megan, relax.
Breathe, okay?

I got it. I can take care
of two kids for two days.

Megan, honey,
we gotta get going.

- Okay, I love you, bye.
- Bye, love you.

Heidi, thanks again.
You're a lifesaver.

Yeah, you got it.

Oh, and I volunteered to help

on the Snowball Dance committee,

so you need to meet
at the high school gym tonight

at 8:00 p.m.

- Megan...
- Don't be late.

That wasn't part of the plan.

Tom, no teasing your sister!

So do you think
we should tell her

that committee's being
run by Chris Shepherd?

I didn't want her to get upset.
They're both adults.

Might do them both good
to see each other again.

Ready?

Ready.

I feel like it's been forever.

What do you mean?

You guys came to the city
for Easter.

No, I mean since
you've been here.

No, I was here
for Christmas last year.

No, you weren't.
You had to work.

Yeah, that's right.
Year before, then.

I'd come home more often if
I could. I hope you know that.

You still have that up.

Of course.
It's my favorite.

My friends come over,
and they ask about it.

I tell them my super artsy aunt
painted it.

You should make one for Katie.

Yeah, it's on my to-do list,
for sure.

If I ever have time,
I definitely will.

Hey, Katie,
do you want any more pizza!

She's probably got
her headphones on.

Did you know that pizza actually
has all the food groups?

Your mom would be
very proud of me.

Does that mean we get to
eat it tomorrow too?

Yeah.

It is 8:00.

Okay, great.

Shouldn't you be at the
Snowball Dance committee thing?

Yeah. How does your mom
make dinner, go to PTA meetings,

and run a realty company
all at the same time?

Are you gonna be okay
for a few hours?

Yeah. We're just throwing
a party while you're gone.

Very funny.

Call me if you need me.

All right, bye.

Hi.

Hey, sorry,
did I miss the meeting?

No, you're actually
the first one to show up.

- Heidi?
- Chris?

What are you doing here?

I'm watching the kids for Megan.

She said she volunteered for...
What are you doing here?

I work here?

That's right.

Yeah, Tom mentioned
that he had you for history.

And hockey.

You're the hockey coach too.

- I know that look.
- What look?

The "Chris is a teacher
and hockey coach

at our old high school" look.

Well, clearly you're projecting

'cause in no way
am I giving that look.

I know you better
than you think.

Well, we were together
a long time ago.

So you're planning the Snowball.

Yeah, yeah, not by choice.
Matt kinda just insisted.

I still can't believe that
Matt Sampson is vice principal.

- Hey, how's Erica?
- She's good.

She has her hands full
with the twins and the store.

Who would've thought
that all those years ago

that those two would be
married with twins?

And that a high school
relationship would work out.

So, how many people
are you expecting?

Pretty sure
you're looking at it.

Yeah.

Okay, what can I do?

Are you serious?
You actually wanna help?

Yeah. I work for
an art gallery in New York.

90% of what I do there is just
helping my boss plan parties.

And plus I told Megan
that I would help her out.

Wait, you don't paint?

Well, I'm in that world, but no.

I found more success buying
and selling art at the gallery.

- What?
- Nothing, I just...

I thought you went to New York
so you could become an artist.

Well, sometimes things don't
work out the way you hope.

So, yeah, I was going through
everything that they left.

It's not great.

Ooh, yikes.

I was gonna lay it all out and
see what we had to work with.

I think some decorations are
actually from our Snowball,

maybe a couple decades
before that.

Probably just throw
that one out, actually.

No, I can fix it.

Okay, what is that look for?

I'm just surprised...

that you actually want to
put the work into something,

instead of buy something new,
move on.

Why do I suddenly feel like

you're not talking
about the snowflake?

What else would I
be talking about?

Nothing.

You know what?

I'm sure you'd rather spend time
with your niece and nephew.

I got this.

Fine by me.
This wasn't exactly on my list

of things I wanted
to do tonight.

Well, be my guest.

Okay.

Hey, come on, guys,
we're already behind schedule.

Hey, I made breakfast.

Well, I set out breakfast.

Mom usually makes us eggs.

And bacon.

And sometimes pancakes.

And Dad sometimes
makes us smoothies.

This looks great too.

Good, okay.

You know what?
I gotta take this.

Heidi, where did you put
the Edison sales slips?

It's all digital now,
so it's in our "G" folder

under "transactions".

Thank goodness.
I thought they were gone.

Okay, when you get a chance,

can you please email
the Parks Gallery?

They wanna know
if we're interested

in participating
in the Art Walk.

I told them you would know our
schedule better than I would.

Well, April has access
to the calendar.

I would just feel better
if you would take care of it.

Of course, no problem.

And did Robert text you about
the catering for the party?

Yes. I'm gonna respond
right now.

Okay, well, I guess that's it.

Okay, well, let me know
if you need anything else.

I will.

Great, bye.

Robert.

Okay, ready?

Here, put this on.

That sounds good.

Oh, shoot, almost forgot.

Let's go.

Okay.

Hey, remember,

no hockey tonight 'cause
you have to study for that test.

But some guys are going to the
rink to practice for tryouts.

I know. It's not me.
It's your mom. Sorry.

All right, fine.

Bye! Love you!

Love you too.

Hey.

Hey, who's that girl
Tom just said hi to?

I don't know.
Usually Mom drops me off first.

You get dropped off first?

Yeah, otherwise I'm late.

Shoot.

- Aunt Heidi!
- Right, sorry.

Chris!

How'd the meeting go?

One person showed up.

Wanna know who
that one person was?

- Santa?
- Heidi Nelson.

She's out here watching her
niece and nephew for a few days.

- Well, how'd it go?
- Not great.

- Did you talk to her?
- Yeah, yeah, about the dance.

Okay, so not about the fact
that she broke your heart,

and you've never
been the same since.

Seeing how that's not the case,
no, it did not come up.

Good.

That's good.

Just make sure the florist
is there by 4:00,

so she has time to set up.

Okay, thanks, Robert.

Bye.

Heidi?

- Erica, hey!
- Hi!

I didn't know you were in town.

Yeah, I'm watching
Tom and Katie,

I'm only here till tomorrow,
otherwise I would've called you.

I get it. Taking care of kids
is time consuming.

Hey, guys.

I've seen pictures of you
on Integra,

but you're much cuter in person.

Michael, James,
this is Mommy's friend, Heidi.

- Can you say hi?
- They're so cute.

- How are Tom and Katie?
- They're good.

Growing up too fast.

Is Tom going to the Snowball?

I don't know. We haven't
talked about it. I hope so.

Well, Matt has us down
to chaperone.

He tried to make it sound
like it would be

this fun romantic night out,

and I told him he had
to just say the words,

we'll get a babysitter,
and I was there.

Megan signed up
to help plan the dance,

so I went in her place
last night.

Nobody really showed up.

It was just me
and Chris Shepherd.

Yeah.

How was that?

He had it mostly under control,
so I didn't really do much.

No, I mean, how was it
seeing him again?

I know it's been awhile.

Yeah, it was fine.

- It was weird.
- Good weird?

He didn't really seem
very happy to see me.

I'm sure he's just overwhelmed
with the dance stuff.

I know Matt sort of
sprung it on him last minute.

- I'm glad he had you to help.
- Yeah, kind of.

Did you know he had a book
published last year?

Chris has a book?

Yeah, something about
Mark Twain.

Good for him.

- Your usual.
- Thank you so much.

- I gotta go.
- Yeah, it was great to see you.

It was so great to see you.

- Okay, bye, guys.
- Bye.

Make sure to check
the modified finals schedule.

We're looking forward
to seeing you at the Snowball.

You can still get tickets
at the student store.

Have a great day.

Hey, shouldn't somebody
be spotting you?

I like to live life on the edge.

Were you...
What are you doing here?

I just felt bad about the way
we ended things last night.

And Megan signed up
to help out with this,

and I should fill in
and help out in her place.

It's really okay.

Actually, I had some ideas
for some decorations.

Do you remember our Snowball?

We had those icicles
that came down from the ceiling?

Icicles aren't exactly the
first things that come to mind

when I think about
that night, no.

Well, I just thought
it'd be a cool effect to have.

I can help you make some
if you want.

You don't have to.

I'm sure you have
a lot going on.

What?

Nothing. I thought I felt
a drip on my face.

Well, actually, I was thinking
with this Styrofoam,

with a little paint
and a little shading,

I think it'll look great.

- Ooh.
- Hey, careful, careful!

There you go.
It's coming down now.

Yeah, it's just water.

The bright side is we might have
real icicles for decorations.

Yeah, so I guess
after they left,

the roof sprung a major leak.

If they can't fix
the roof in time,

is the Snowball canceled?

I don't know.
I hope not.

I'm sure Vice Principal Sampson
will figure something out.

Did you use the dishwasher?

Yes.

It's, broken.

You don't say.

Hey, Tom, are these
all the towels you have?

There might be some
in the closet under the stairs.

Okay.

Right there.

Hey, what's my old easel
doing in here?

I don't know.
Grandma and Grandpa

brought over a bunch of stuff.

Yeah.
These are my old yearbooks.

You should paint something.

Yeah, maybe later.
The kitchen floor's still wet.

I don't wanna warp the floors.

Hey. That doesn't look
like studying.

It is, just not
history class studying.

Do you want some help?

Are you good at history?

No. Actually, Mr. Shepherd
is the one

that helped me get through
all my history classes

- in high school.
- Yeah, that's right.

Mom told me
you guys used to date.

We did.

You guys were so popular.

Weren't you guys
Snowball King and Queen?

Yeah. That means
I'm actual royalty,

so you have to listen to me,
and you have to study.

I know.

Mr. Shepherd's the best.

Mom said if I get
straight A's this semester

I can get my driver's permit.

Cool. What's the problem?

I don't know.

There's a girl.

How'd you know?

Because I fell victim
to those symptoms too.

You can't focus, you can't
concentrate on anything.

You think about them
all the time.

Yeah, that sums it up.

Well, why don't you ask her
to the Snowball Dance?

No. No, she'd say no.

And I think she's into
this other guy named Ryan.

He's way too popular.

So? How can you be sure
unless you try?

Okay, don't stay up too late.

I won't.

And do your homework.

All right.

They put our talk up
on housebuy.com.

Cool.

"Realtor husband-and-wife
dazzle at convention".

Howdy.

Hope you folks aren't planning
on flying anywhere today.

Why do you say that?

Airport-wide computer outage.

All flights are grounded.

What do you mean,
you're not coming home today?

I'm supposed to be back at work.
My boss is gonna freak out.

I'm really sorry.
All flights are grounded.

They have no idea when things
will be up and running again.

Okay, what are you gonna do?

Well, we don't wanna
risk the wait,

so we're just gonna
keep the rental car

and try and fly out of Atlanta.

- Okay.
- Wait.

So will you be home
in time for the pageant?

Of course.

Hopefully we'll be back
tomorrow.

Sweet. More time
with Aunt Heidi.

I miss you too, Tom.
And, Heidi,

since I won't be back in time,
you have to bake some cookies

to take to the Christmas cookie
sale at Katie's school today.

Meg, you know I don't bake.

We have all the ingredients.
I'll text you an easy recipe.

It'll be great.
Tom and Katie can help.

Okay.

How many ounces in a cup?

I don't know.
Just look it up.

- I...
- Okay, just guesstimate then.

Katie, how are those
dry ingredients coming?

What do you mean by dry?

Okay, well, it all goes
in the oven, right?

So how hard can it be?

Okay.

That's the first batch.

That does not look like snowmen.

Well, that's 'cause
we haven't frosted it yet.

Okay, that grocery store
down the street,

it has a bakery, right?

Thank you.

Look! The cookies we brought
are almost all gone.

Yeah, I know.

I just feel bad we wasted
all your mom's ingredients.

- I'll still eat those.
- Really?

Yeah, they're still sugar,
flour, and frosting.

That's true.

Hey, I think that's your cue.

Okay.

These aren't doing so hot.
Those are gross.

Can I skip school today?

Is this about your mom?

You know they're
gonna be back soon,

and I'm gonna stay
until they get here.

That's not it.

Okay, then what's wrong?

I don't wanna go
to pageant rehearsal today.

You know
you're a great singer, Katie.

Thanks.

Is there something
specifically about the solo

that you're worried about?

No, never mind.

I should go.

She'll be okay.

I hope so.

If your mom was here,
she'd know what to say.

- See you after school.
- Bye. Have a good day.

We just pull up the floor

and pull out the damaged ceiling
tiles, and we're good.

Let's get this stuff
out of the way,

so we can bring in
the man-lift, okay?

- This is going in the Dumpster?
- Let's get it moving.

Heidi, I heard you were in town.

Hey, Matty Sampson.

It's been too long.

I thought you were
leaving town today.

Yeah, actually,
Megan and John got stuck,

so I'm here
for a little bit longer.

So what's the verdict?

There's no way it's gonna be
repaired in time for the dance.

And most of the decorations
have been destroyed.

So it's a good thing

that I have the best
Snowball planning-team ever.

Surely you guys can figure out
a new location

and find some new decorations
as quickly as possible, right?

We may actually have
to just cancel.

Yeah.

The Snowball? Guys, come on.

You know how special
this dance is.

No way we can cancel.
You'll think of something.

I gotta get back to it.

Heidi, it was lovely to see you.
You look the exact same.

So do you.

I'm sure I do.

I think it might be me.

I think I'm jinxed
because after this happened,

I went home,
and the dishwasher was broken,

and the whole kitchen
was flooded.

So this is all your fault?

Yeah.

Are we gonna be able to find
another location for the dance?

I don't know.

I do have to get
to class, though,

but I have a free period later.

If you wanna maybe meet up
at Frank's,

let's say 2:00,
brainstorm some new locations...

Frank's. Okay, sure.

Okay, I will see you then.

Yeah. Bye.

Just make sure you include

the account number
on the invoice.

There's so much to get done
before the party.

I can't believe you're
not gonna be back today.

I know, but you're
doing a great job.

Thank you so much
for filling in.

I'll be back as soon as I can.

Julia just got back.

Is that Heidi?

Heidi, where were
we meant to display

the Kensington's collection?

Over by the far wall,
next to the newer watercolors.

What time are you
coming in today?

Actually, that's kind
of why I'm calling.

My sister and brother-in-law,
they got stuck.

It's kind of up in the air
when they're gonna be back.

Heidi, you said it was
only gonna be for two days.

I need you here.

Do you know how much
has to get done

- before the Christmas party?
- Yes, of course.

I'm gonna do as much
as I can from here,

and April can fill in
until I'm back.

Okay, but you will be back
in time for the party, correct?

Yes, of course.
I'll definitely be there.

Good, because you know
how much I depend on you

at these things.

I know.

Okay, well, I guess
I'll see you then.

Okay, bye.

So there's no way
we can reserve the space?

I know it's
short notice and all.

I understand. No, I understand.
Thank you very much.

All right, bye-bye.

So there's nothing available.

That's the fifth place
we've tried.

There has to be a place
we're not thinking of.

What?

Nothing, just why don't you
pour the coffee in there

and drink that?

Fine. I'm not very good
at adulting, all right?

I wouldn't say that.

I think you're doing
pretty well for yourself.

Well, I'm no big-city
art dealer.

I looked up your art gallery.
It's actually...

It's pretty impressive.

Trust me, what I do there
isn't that impressive.

Then why'd you quit painting?

Job got in the way.

Money was good.

It's a lot easier
judging other people's work

than having people judge mine.

I miss it though.

Then you should paint.

You always were the most
talented person I ever met.

You know, I found my easel
at Megan's.

It's like seeing an old friend.

It's kind of like this.

Yeah, except the easel
didn't hate me.

I can never hate you, Heidi.

You know, why don't you paint
something for the Snowball, huh?

Why don't we find a venue first?

Right.
Location would be good.

One other place I can think of

is that new country club,

but I think their rental fee
would be out of our budget.

What about that hotel on Dunbar?

Is that still there?

It's kind of a drive,
but it might be something.

You really wanna do
our school dance

at a stale
hotel conference there?

Do you have a better idea?

I do not.
I will look them up.

Call 'em.

Hey, hello.
How's it going?

I'm a teacher
over at Lincoln High School,

and we're looking
for a last-minute location

for our school dance
on the 23rd.

No, yeah, that would work.

Can we maybe come by
and see the space?

I don't know.
Maybe 20 minutes?

- Sure.
- Thank you.

Stale hotel it is.

Hey, why didn't you tell me

you had a history book
published?

Never came up.

It's not like you call
every time you're in town.

Well, I'm not in town
very often.

When I am,
it's only for a couple days.

But for what it's worth,
I'm really impressed.

Thank you.

It's a far cry from the jock
you knew in high school

who was holding you back.

Holding me back?
I never thought that.

Didn't you?

You had all these big plans,
and I wasn't part of them.

- That's why we broke up.
- No, we broke up

because you went off
to college to play hockey,

and I wanted to be an artist
in New York,

and it just didn't make sense
to stay together.

We could have tried though.

Either way, it worked out.

My dreams of becoming
a professional hockey player

went out the window
when I hurt my knee,

and I found everything
I wanted in Pleasant Valley.

You did the same in New York.

I should've called
when you hurt your knee,

but we hadn't spoken
since we broke up and...

I'm sorry.
That must've been really hard.

It was.

But being home helped.

And I was planning on moving
back to Pleasant Valley anyways.

It just happened a lot sooner
than I thought it would.

Yeah, looks like
both of our dreams

didn't really work out
the way we thought they would.

But yours still could.

But please never stop
painting, Heidi.

That's the reason
I fell in love with you.

- Really?
- Yup.

It was freshman year art class.

You painted that
beautiful picture of...

Main Street.

I saw that,
and I just got inspired.

You know, you did that.

You made something from nothing.

Obviously that's not
the only reason

I fell in love with you.

You're smart, you're funny,

you're like the prettiest girl
I've ever seen.

- Oh, shoot.
- What?

It's this gauge.
It says it's full when it's not.

That's the problem
with these old cars.

- Pull over.
- All right.

- You have a signal?
- No.

Wait a minute.

Hey, do you realize
where we are?

Yeah, not near a gas station.

No, that's Glenn Farms.

That's where we had
our first date.

- We fed the baby goats.
- Yeah.

Glenn sold the place
a couple of years ago.

Nice old couple bought it
and renovated it.

It's a B&B now.

- Cool.
- Yeah.

Let's go use their phone.

Hello!

Hello. Can I help ya?

I'm Heidi. This is Chris.
Our car ran out of gas.

We were just curious
if we could borrow your phone.

I'll do you one better.

I got some gasoline in the barn.

It's enough to get you
back into town.

That would be great.
Thank you.

Oh, wow.
This place is beautiful.

I don't remember it
looking this good.

Well, my wife and I
bought it a while back,

and we converted the house
up the road into a B&B,

and now I'm working
to renovate this place

into an event space.

You rent the barn for events?

Well, that's the goal.

Still haven't finished
renovating it yet.

No, it's perfect.

Well, thank you.

Are you thinking
what I'm thinking?

I think I am.

Do you have any availability
on Monday?

Yeah, but like I said,

the place is not ready
for guests yet.

You wanna rent it this spring?

Actually, we need it for
a high school Christmas dance.

We're in desperate need
of a new location.

Well...

I don't think I can have
the barn ready that fast.

We don't care.

We can do everything needed,
and it's good as-is.

Well, I'll give you...

I'll give it to you
half-off the going rate

'cause it isn't finished.

That is so nice of you.
Thank you.

Thank you.
This is gonna be great.

- The place was amazing.
- Yeah.

The kids are gonna love it.
How sweet is Roy?

You know what I was thinking?

Maybe we could rent some horses

and some sleighs
for the outside.

I'm not quite sure
that's in our budget, Heidi.

Well, the good news is

that farm's only
a few miles outside of town,

and all we have to do
is decorate the barn

since the rest of that place
screams Christmas.

It was like
stepping into a dream.

- Didn't you feel that way?
- I did.

And I already have
the perfect theme.

All right, lay it on me.

"Christmas Wonderland".

Hey, that's perfect.

Hey, did you see that
wood panel inside the barn?

I was thinking we could
use it to decorate.

You could paint a mural, and
we can hang it above the stairs.

I'm sure Roy
has a better use for it.

We could ask.

It looked like it was
in a scrap pile to me.

I was thinking something
"Wonderland Snowball" themed.

You know, a personal touch
from a past snow queen.

I'll think about it.

Hey, these stocking
are really cool.

That school's really
upped their crafts.

You're kinda quiet tonight.
How did rehearsal go?

Fine, I guess.

You wanna talk about it?

I'm gonna forget all those words
in front of all those people.

What do you mean?
You've been rehearsing all week.

But it's a hard song.
There's a lot to memorize.

You know, I used to get
really nervous

every time I showed
my paintings to people.

So what did you do?

Well, I guess
I just realized that...

I really liked them,
and I was really proud of them,

and that's kind of
all that mattered.

Hey, would it help
if we went over it together?

Yes.

Maybe.

Okay.

Hey, you didn't need to call
Mr. Shepherd over.

I'm studying.

I didn't call Mr. Shepherd!

- Hey. Chris.
- Hey.

- What are you doing here?
- I hope I'm not interrupting.

I remembered that you mentioned
the dishwasher was broken,

and my dad used to be
a plumber, so...

I thought I'd come
take a look for you.

Actually, that would be great.
Thanks. Come on in.

- You sure?
- Yeah.

Something smells good.

Yeah, it's takeout Thai food.

They got tired of pizza.

- Hey, Mr. Shepherd.
- Hey, Tom, how are you?

I'm just studying
for the makeup tomorrow.

- I like seeing that.
- Yeah.

When was
the Missouri Compromise?

We are not cheating.

1822?

Close. 1820.

That is what I meant.

Dishwasher?

Yeah, fix away.

I don't really know
what's wrong with it.

Katie and I
are gonna go rehearse

her solo
in the Christmas pageant.

Let me guess,
"Herald Angel?"

Yeah, and I'm not good at it.

Please, I doubt that.

You know, I had the same exact
solo when I was in 4th grade?

- I remember that.
- Do you?

They still making you do
all the verses?

- Yup!
- That is a tough one.

Yeah, but Aunt Heidi was going
to go over the words with me.

Was she?

Yeah.

I think that is a great idea.

Let's go sing.

Have fun.

All right, who was
James Monroe's Vice President?

Tompkins.

- That's right.
- I remember that one

because the first three letters
are my name.

Smart. Now if only
all the other vice presidents

had the name "Tom,"
you would be unbeatable.

All right.

I think we're...
I think we're all fixed.

Okay, great.

- Thank you.
- Yeah.

How am I supposed to remember,

"All ye nations, rise.

Join the triumph of the skies

with angelic host proclaim"?

It makes no sense to me.

It's okay.
It doesn't have to make sense.

Just find a rhythm and a flow,
and I promise you

all those words are gonna
come so much easier.

I have an idea. Can I connect
to your Bluetooth real quick?

Sure.

Katie, so this is
the same exact song.

It's a little more upbeat,
but something you can dance to.

I promise you're gonna remember
every single one of those words.

Come on, come on,
come on, come on!

- Tom, get over here, come on.
- Tom, come on!

Get over here!

Come on, dance with me!

Hey, thank you.

Yeah, of course.

Actually, I had a lot of fun.

Yeah, me too.

Hey, you still have some moves.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

You have some
pretty cool kids in there.

Yeah. That's all
my sister's doing.

Good genes.

Yeah, I guess.

You're really good with them.

Thanks.

These last few days have
actually been really great,

despite flooding the kitchen.

So should we decorate
our Wonderland tomorrow?

Yeah, sure.

I have some stuff
in the morning,

but I could do the afternoon.

Perfect.

All right, well,
I guess I will see you then?

- Yeah, okay.
- All right.

- Bye.
- Bye.

What are you looking for?

This picture of me and Chris.

I mean, Mr. Shepherd.

You guys were boyfriend
and girlfriend, weren't you?

Yeah, we were.

I like him a lot.

Yeah, he's a good guy.

There it is.

It looks like
you're in a fairy tale.

Yeah, it does.

Okay, I think it's time for bed.

- Come on, let's go.
- I am, I am.

Hi.

Aunt Heidi,
you keep outdoing yourself.

Four different kinds of cereal.

Yeah, well, I wanted you
to have the pick of the best

for your big test today.

Hey, it's your mom.

Hey, good morning.

Tom, you ready for your test?

I think so.

Hey, what's your status?

John's grabbing us some lunch.

Unfortunately, there was
bad weather in Atlanta,

so we decided our best bet
was just to keep driving.

It should only take
another day or so.

Hey, Megan, my boss really needs
me back as soon as possible.

Heidi, we're doing
everything we can.

I am so sorry for this.

I know you are.
It's okay.

I'm just gonna let Julia know
what's going on.

So how are things there?

Good. Mr. Shepherd
came over last night

and helped us fix
the dishwasher.

- Oh, did he now?
- Yeah, not like that.

It wasn't like that.
He was just being nice.

I'm sure.

I sure miss you guys so much.

We miss you too.

How's Aunt Heidi's cooking?

It is delicious.

- He's lying, he's lying.
- Delicious, delicious!

I made eggs. Bye!

See you later!

Really?

Okay, what you got
going on today?

We're doing a run-through
of all the songs.

Would you like to come watch?

It would make me less nervous.

Yeah, of course.
I'd love to be there.

Well, maybe I should come too.

No, you're just trying
to get out of that test.

Okay, I'm gonna drop him off,
and I'll be right back.

- Okay.
- All right.

- Bye.
- Have a good day.

Good luck.

Bye!

Good, good, Katie.
That's perfect.

Next time, let's do it with
a little less dancing, yeah?

Great, everyone!
So that's it for today.

We'll see you all tomorrow.

What did you think?

Hey, you were so great.

- And you knew all the words.
- I did.

I just thought of the song
Chris played for us.

Yeah, I know.
I could tell.

I'm really proud of you.

Thanks for watching.

Thanks for letting me watch.

- See ya later.
- Okay, I'll see ya later.

Forgot my lunchbox.

Wanna see my drawing?

Yeah. Which one's yours?

That one.

I really like all the colors.

Are you the art teacher today?

No...

Actually, I used to be
a student here.

I just wanted to come back
and look at my old art room.

Art's my favorite class.

It was mine too.

I hope I do it forever.

I hope you do too.

I gotta go to lunch now. Bye!

Bye.

Whoa!

Eyes on your own tests!

- Good news.
- Okay.

The school board approved
the Wonderland Acres location.

That's great.

And they have increased

the decoration budget

because they loved the idea
that much.

That is even better.

All right, so after school,
you'll get on it, yeah?

I will. I'm picking Heidi up
this afternoon.

I have a double free period,
so...

What?

Nothing.

I mean, you've just, you've been
really happy the last few days.

Yeah. Christmas is almost here.

I love Christmas.

You should tell her
how you feel.

I should?
And how is that?

That you're in love with her
and have been since high school.

You're so ridiculous, Matt,
you know that?

In all seriousness though,

this might be
your second chance.

She lives in New York.

We want different things.
It's just...

It's not gonna work.

I tried.

Have fun decorating.

By the way, word of advice:

Glitter gets everywhere.

Be careful.

I will.

- Careful.
- All right.

All of the Christmas decorations
are right over here.

- Erica, this place is so cute.
- Thank you.

You should check out
the paint section.

I got some of
the best brushes out there.

Maybe you and Erica should
just pick this stuff out.

I don't really have
quite the eye for it.

Come on. Just pick out anything
that looks winter-wonderlandy.

That narrows it down.

It's fun seeing you both
back together.

I mean, just back here in town.

The both of you
in the same space,

not back together-together.

Maybe we should get this going.

- We don't have much time.
- Of course.

Holler if you need me.
I gotta set up a craft table

for the kids' ornament
decorating this afternoon.

- I'm gonna look over here.
- Okay.

Think we should get
a little bit more glitter.

No, no, I think we're
pretty good on the glitter.

Ooh!

What do you think about this?

For my Dance
chaperone outfit, huh?

- It's great.
- Thank you.

I don't know if it really
brings out your eyes though.

I was afraid of that.

Get it anyway.

Okay.

- Hey, these are great.
- Great, right?

We should get
a couple more of those.

- It was a good find.
- Yeah.

You need more supplies.
Look, I stand by what I said.

A mural is the perfect addition
for the Snowball.

- I don't know.
- Come on.

Finding everything?

Yeah. Oh, cute. Are those
all your ornament decorations?

Feel free to make one.

Kids won't be here
for another hour or so.

Actually,
we should probably get going.

I think we could make
a quick one, yeah.

Okay, we will make a quick one.

I have to grab more tinsel
from the back, but go crazy.

Okay.

Ooh, tiny little chairs.

Okay...

You can have that one.

- Okay.
- I'm gonna do gold.

Go for the gold.

Those will look good.

- Okay.
- Done?

- That's really good.
- Thank you.

You must be an artist.

Let me see yours.

Thank you. Yeah.

Lovely. Very nice.

Thank you.
That is very generous of you.

A lot of effort
went into that, yeah.

We should probably
get going though.

Yeah, you're right.

Take it.

Wait for Erica to come back.

Turn.

- What?
- Turn your head.

You have something
in your hair there.

Put that on there.

Thank you.

Want me to ring you up?

That would be great, Erica,
thank you.

Thank you, Erica.

Hey, what do you think if we
hang these lights over there?

I think it's a great idea.

Hey, brought you each
a hot chocolate.

Aw, thanks, Roy.
That's really sweet.

That's all right.

I'm just glad to see
this barn come alive.

Just wait till we add
the layer of glitter.

Layer? I thought we said
subtle dash?

Whatever you both want.

That's what I built
this place for... celebration!

Then do you mind
if we use the wood panel,

so Heidi can paint a mural?

We can hang it
above the staircase.

A mural?

Yeah, she's a great painter.

I promise you
it'll be top-notch.

Hey, Chris, that's fine.

You're a painter?

Yes.

Actually, I just painted
something of Wonderland Acres.

Here.

You're quite an artist.

Yeah, you can use
whatever you need.

What you gonna paint?

You know, I haven't
worked that out yet.

Well, I'm looking forward
to seeing it.

I'll be back.

I can't wait either.

- Did you get it untangled?
- Yeah.

That looks pretty good, right?

Yeah, it looks good.

Okay.

- You okay?
- Yeah.

I'm sorry.

For what?

For ending things so soon.

I just thought it was
the right thing to do.

I figured we'd never end up
in the same place,

so it was better to end it early
than to drag it out and...

and hurt more.

You did what you thought
was best. I get it.

Okay, let's work on this now.

All right.

I was thinking we could just
sprinkle it all over the room

so the whole place
kind of sparkles.

It seems like a lot.
It might get everywhere.

The worst thing would be
standing in front of my class,

having a student point
at my hair,

saying "I saw glitter in it,"

like four months from now.

Really?

So that would be like the worst
thing in the world for you?

Yeah, pretty much.

Did that really just happen?

Yeah, I think it did.

Good luck getting all that out.

Hey. What happened to you?

You know, just making
this year's Snowball Dance

one they will remember forever.

You look like a unicorn
sneezed on you.

Thank you.
Hey, how'd your test go?

Good.
I went back to check

if Mr. Shepherd
had graded them yet,

but he wasn't there.

That's 'cause he was with me.

We were decorating
for the dance.

I should've known.

What? You don't wanna be seen
with your glitter-covered aunt?

That and I heard through
a couple of people

that Ryan did ask Monica
to the dance.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.
Wasn't meant to be.

Hey.

You never know
what the future holds.

Where's the other half
of your decorating team?

I'm flying solo at the moment.

Dance is in three days,

so I'm trying to get
as much done as possible.

- Yeah, it looks good.
- Thanks.

I just wish my wife
could have been here

to see this place
all decorated like this.

I didn't realize
she wasn't here.

No, she passed away
a few years back.

This whole thing was her idea.

I just kept going with
the renovations for her.

I'm sorry.

Well, so am I.

It's rare when you find somebody
who fits your soul

like a good pair of gloves.

And that's what we were,
the perfect fit.

But look at me, I'm distracting
you from your work.

No, that's okay.

You've done a lot
with this glitter.

Do you think it's too much?

No, no, no,
it's marvelous, yeah.

Thanks.

I don't think
anyone's ever bought

this much paint at one time.

Really? I don't know.
I guess I just feel inspired

for the first time
in a long time,

like I've...
woken up or something.

Maybe you just finally
have the time now.

No, I mean, I'm really busy
watching Megan's kids,

and I'm supposed to be back
at work in New York right now,

but here I am.

Then maybe it's Pleasant Valley.

What do you mean?

This is where you
fell in love with painting.

Perhaps you're discovering it
all over again.

Maybe. I hadn't
thought of that.

This should help.

The first Snowball Dance
photographed

was in the early '20s.

And then these are some of the
older yearbooks and newspapers.

This is perfect.
Thank you.

No worries.

So you're gonna tell me
what this is all for now?

No. You'll find out
soon enough.

Whatever it is,
I appreciate all you're doing

to help with the Snowball.

- It's actually been really fun.
- Good.

I'm glad you and Chris
are getting along.

Yeah, we make a good team.

You guys were always
great together.

I should get to
the school board meeting.

If you need anything else,
let me know.

Okay, great, thank you.

I put another book in that stack

that you should check out.

You look like
you've been here a while.

Yeah, all night.
Both the kids had sleepovers

to celebrate the start
of Christmas break.

Painting the mural?

- Yeah, you wanna come see?
- Yeah, I'd love to.

But you have to close your eyes.

- Seriously?
- Yes, for the full effect.

Come on.

All right. You guiding me?
I can't see.

Yeah, I'm guiding you.

- Can I open now?
- No, not yet.

Okay, now you can look.

That's incredible.

I call it Snowball Dance
of Christmas Past.

It's a snapshot of every
Snowball since it started.

Matt gave me some yearbooks,

so I could get the feel of how
everybody dressed and looked.

Is that us?

Yeah.

That's the year we were crowned
Snow King and Queen.

I love it, Heidi.

Everyone is gonna love it.

Hey, isn't this...

Our song?

Acoustics sound pretty good
in here.

There's only one way
to find out.

- Pretty good.
- Thank you, thank you.

I read your book.

Really?

Well, I flipped through it.

We all know history
isn't my strong suit.

Very true. I'm thinking
of writing another one.

Pretty soon I'll get
to teach my book in my class.

Yeah. It's really great
that you found your calling.

Must have been hard when you
couldn't play hockey anymore.

It was, but then
I found a new dream.

Maybe that's what I should do.

Or you could just
get reacquainted

with your original one.

I mean, that mural is...

it's amazing, Heidi.

It's 'cause of this town.

The past.

Us.

It's my boss. She's been
trying to reach me all day.

- I'm sorry.
- Okay.

Heidi?

Hey, is everything okay?

My phone has been
blowing up all day.

Because of the party?

No. That painting
you sent April,

she put it up on
our gallery's art space page.

All of our clients
have been asking about it.

I didn't realize she posted it.

It's a really great painting.

In fact, some people
have even mentioned

that they wanna see
more of your stuff.

- Really?
- Yes.

Look, I've been thinking.

I know I haven't been
very supportive

of your art in the past,

but I want that to change.

Why don't you bring
your painting

to the Christmas party?

I want to put it on display.

You won't just be
my right-hand woman.

You'll be
a contributing artist, okay?

Okay.
I don't know what to say.

Well, say that you're gonna
be there no matter what.

None of this stuck in
your hometown nonsense.

Yes, I will absolutely be there.

Great. We'll talk later.

Good news?

Yeah.

Actually, my boss loved the
painting of Wonderland Acres.

- That's great.
- Yeah. She's just worried

that I won't be back in time
for the gallery Christmas party.

- And when's the party?
- Monday.

So you can't go the Snowball?

See all of our hard work
pay off?

Yeah, I know.
It's just that...

my job really depends
on this party.

Now it feels like I have even
more reason to get back there.

So when do you leave?

As soon as Megan and John
get back.

Otherwise, I don't know
what I'm gonna do.

I'll have to find somebody
to watch the kids.

They'll be back,
or I'll watch the kids.

Look, some stuff is meant to be,

and your art should
be seen by everyone.

Thanks. Thank you
for always believing in me.

I'm gonna get going.
I got a bunch of tests to grade.

Okay.

That was nice of you
to give Erica the night off.

She made it very clear

that I had to take
the twins somewhere

and let her catch up
on her Christmas shopping.

Listen, we're gonna go
over to Maple Street,

check out the lights.

- You wanna join?
- Think I'm gonna pass.

You'd rather walk
around aimlessly

and be bummed
that Heidi's leaving?

I am not gonna do that.

All right, maybe just a little.

It's just these
past few days, man,

all these feelings
keep rushing back.

I don't know what to do.

Maybe she feels the same way.

She wouldn't of gone
to New York again.

I feel like I'm having déjà vu.

Look, Matt, I told you.

I'm not gonna stand in the way
of her dreams.

Listen to me.

You telling her how you feel
is not standing in her way.

All right, if anything,
it might help lead her way.

Look, I'm just gonna
grab some dinner.

All right.

And hey, thank you for
everything with Snowball Dance.

I know it wasn't your forte.

Ended up being
the best part of my year.

Hey, don't look so sad.
New York's not that far away.

I'm gonna come back
and visit really soon.

The whole reason
we got milkshakes

is so we can have
a fun last night.

Yeah, we know.

It's been really great
having you here.

We're gonna miss you.

Yeah, it has been really great.

Even when you
flooded the kitchen.

Even when I flooded the kitchen.

Will you be glad
to go back to New York?

Yeah. Why do you ask?

You just look sad about it too.

Well, I'm gonna miss
everybody here.

- Hey, Mr. Shepherd.
- Hey.

Hi.

Milkshakes, huh?

What is the occasion?

Fun last night with Aunt Heidi.

Aw.

Hey, why don't you join us?

No, I don't wanna intrude.

No, it's okay.
You can sit down.

Okay. Well, I shouldn't
be telling you this

because I haven't given
the grades out yet,

but you're already celebrating.

Tom, you made an A
on the retake test.

- For real?
- Yeah, for real.

- Nice work, Tom.
- I knew you had it in you.

Yeah, once I found out Ryan was
taking Monica to the dance,

I guess I was
less distracted in class.

Well, I'm not super up
on the student gossip,

but I do own a chaperone list,

and Ryan's mom said
he's taking Sarah Lang.

Really?

Well, I mean,
it's probably too late.

The dance is
the day after tomorrow.

Hey, how do you know
unless you try?

Yeah, you gotta take a risk.

I'll be right back.
I have to make a call.

Teenage boys, am I right?

Wanna try my milkshake?
I got seven flavors.

You got seven flavors?

Oh, my gosh,
that sounds so good,

but I kinda wanted
some real food.

Hey, are you saying
milkshakes aren't real food?

We are personally offended.

Hey, she said yes.

- Yay!
- All right!

See? I hope you learned
something here today.

Yeah, sometimes
you just gotta go for it.

Hello?

Hello!

Grandma, Grandpa!

- There's my peanut! Hey!
- Sweetheart!

Hey, bud!

I didn't think you were gonna
be here till Christmas day.

Well, when we finally
docked in Italy,

we got Megan's message
that you were watching the kids,

and we figured
we'd better come home and help.

Not that we thought
you were incapable.

It's just we know
you're very busy.

- No, Aunt Heidi's been great.
- Thanks.

Now you're here on time
for my pageant.

Yeah! Where's John and Megan?

They had to rent a car,

so they're not gonna be here
until tomorrow.

Wait, if Grandma
and Grandpa are here,

does that mean
you're gonna leave?

No, I'm not gonna
miss your pageant.

- I'll leave right after.
- Okay.

It sounds like you've had
a couple of wild days.

Yeah, you have no idea.

Well, come on in,
and I'll fix you dinner.

We're full.
We just had milkshakes.

But we're still hungry,

so Grandma's gonna make
something really healthy.

Thanks, Mom.

Come on, Grandma.

Alas, the angel is here.

She will bring word
of what's to come.

- Hey.
- Hey.

I cannot thank you enough
for all that you did.

I've actually never seen Tom
and Katie in better moods.

You raised some fantastic kids.

I'm just happy I got to spend
some time with them.

And sounds like some time
with Chris Shepherd.

I know what you're thinking.

- No, you don't.
- Yes, I do.

You're thinking that seeing him
again after all this time,

it brought back all
the feelings I used to have.

Okay, maybe I was thinking that.

And...

you'd be right.

What am I supposed to do?

I mean, my boss finally
sees me as a real artist,

and she wants to help
with my career.

But all I wanna do

is go to a high school dance
with Chris Shepherd?

I mean, I was so sure
for so long

that living in the city
and being successful,

that's all that mattered.

But you know, then I came home,

and I felt inspired
to paint again.

So maybe what you
thought you wanted

is different than
what you actually needed.

Yeah.

Maybe.

If I'm honest,
I was kind of hoping you guys

wouldn't come home in time,
and I could stay,

but then Mom and Dad showed up,
so I knew I had to go back.

Okay, that is very telling.

Yeah.

I think I really owe it
to myself to see this through.

Okay. I mean, that's okay.
We'll always be here.

Yeah, I know.

But...

Chris might not.

Yeah, that's true,

unless you tell him
how you feel.

Meg, I already
broke his heart once.

I cannot do it again.

And plus, my life is
so up in the air right now.

I don't wanna drag him along.

Okay.

Well, I should go.

Can you explain...

the seven pizza boxes
that I found in the trash?

No, I cannot.

Has all the food groups.
It's fine.

Bye.

Hey, Katie,
I have something for you.

- You painted this for me?
- I did, yeah.

I love it.
Thank you so much.

You're welcome. Okay.

- Bye, guys. Love you.
- Thanks again. Travel safe.

We're going to the airport.
We're gonna make a stop first.

No problem.

- Bye.
- Love you.

This looks great.

I thought you left already.

Wanted to come by,
see how it all turned out.

Say goodbye.

Well, it looks amazing,
thanks to you.

Thanks to us.

Listen, Chris,

this past week
has been wonderful.

I can see why high-school-me
fell in love with you so easily.

And present-day-you,
how does she feel?

She feels confused.

Don't be.

You went to New York
to become this amazing artist,

and you should do that.

You should follow what you want.

That's what I loved about you.

That's what's what
I've always loved about you.

That's my ride.

Bye, Chris.

Goodbye, Heidi.

Hey, let me help you.

Thanks, Chris.

So I'm glad to see you guys
made it back in one piece.

I know. What a crazy week.

Hey, I'm sorry I couldn't help
with the Snowball.

It's okay.
Heidi did an amazing job.

Hope you can come see it
all decked out tonight.

The mural she did
is a masterpiece.

Tom has made it very clear

we are only supposed
to drop him off.

Don't worry.
John and I will find our way in.

Today's Heidi's big day, huh?

- Yeah. I hope it all goes well.
- Yeah, me too.

She seemed pretty upset
when she left.

- Really?
- Yeah, she...

She had this sad look
in her eyes.

Sort of like the one
you have right now.

You know, it's funny.
When I came back from college,

I thought I had everything
I ever wanted.

Truth is, I was always
missing something.

I wish you both would tell
these things to each other.

Timing is not right.

It never will be if you're
always waiting for it.

I better get these
into the fridge.

Right, of course.

- Thank you.
- Yeah.

Hey, tell Tom
I will see him tonight.

I will. Merry Christmas.

Yeah, Merry Christmas.

- Here you go.
- Thank you.

- Thank you. Thanks for coming.
- Thank you so much.

Heidi, come. I want you
to meet Vince and Leo.

Hi.

Heidi is responsible for
making the gallery what it is.

All of these paintings
have been acquired by her.

Can you get me
the gallery catalog?

I want to show Leo the
gallery painting we just sold.

Sure. Nice to meet you.

You are going to love his work.

Don't you just wanna
crawl inside this painting?

That place looks so magical.

It's beautiful.
I love it.

Julia talking up your art?

No, not yet.

Well, I'm sure she will soon.

Maybe.

But you know what?
If she doesn't, that's okay.

The only person that's gonna
make time for my art is me.

I have to go.

What do you mean?

I just mean...

there's someplace I'd rather be.

That one is right back there.

Yes, right. Okay, yeah.

Where are you going?

I haven't had a chance
to show off your painting yet.

Julia, I can't work
for the gallery anymore.

You can't leave.
This is your big opportunity.

I don't belong here.

I thought if I wanted
to be a great artist,

I had to move to the city and
adapt to a certain lifestyle,

but instead,
I just completely lost track

of why I wanted to paint
in the first place.

I miss that feeling
of inspiration,

when a moment
is so overwhelming,

you have no choice
but to create.

I had that when I was at home.

When I was with Chris.

Who?

Julia, thank you so much
for everything.

This has been
such a great opportunity,

and I've learned so much,

but it's not where I wanna be.

- I have to go.
- Don't leave yet.

Look, we'll show some
of your work to some agents.

Maybe some other time.

If I leave right now,
I can still make the dance.

Merry Christmas.

What dance?

Say Christmas!

- Christmas!
- Nice.

This is amazing.

Best Snowball in history.

I mean, glitter usage aside.

After the dance, we should
hang that mural at the school.

Couldn't agree more.

You and Heidi
did a wonderful job.

Must be nice to have a night
away from the kids, huh?

Romantic night
in a romantic setting

is just what was needed.

Brings back memories.

Yes, it does.
Yes, it does.

Hey, we know you wish
someone else was here,

but try to have
some fun tonight.

I mean, this is all
because of you.

Hey!

Hey.

How about we finish that dance?

What are you doing here?

Well, I figured I ruined
our last Snowball,

so I might as well
make up for it.

And what about New York?

Well, you told me
to go for what I want,

and... that's you.

Here.

Right now.

- I love you, Heidi.
- I love you too.
