Are you ready for an
inspirational story?

This one is called "The
Greatest Christmas Wish."

"Once upon a time,
there was a magical town

"where wishes big and small
could always be found.

"And living within
this magical place,

"was a little girl full
of wonder and grace."

[surprised]
Ooh!

You really like this story,
don't you?

[sighs]

"Her Christmas wish,
she decided this year,

"wouldn't be for herself,
but for all she held dear.

"For the greatest Christmas
wish will hold much joy,

"and be the perfect present
for every girl and boy."

[door opens]

You got the cinnamon?

Right here.

Good.

What's wrong?

Wilma just told me she's
bringing mashed potatoes

instead of pumpkin pie
on Christmas Eve.

We're gonna be short
on desserts.

My mother's figgy pudding
is all you're going to need

for the feast.

How's that coming?

Well, the recipe's coming
back to me, mostly.

You need some help?

You only have four more days
to pull this off.

You worry about those
other dishes.

[sighs]

Is that all the cinnamon
you're gonna add?

Have a little confidence.

Oh, certainly.

That's exactly what I have.

I just can't remember
if my mother added salt.

Hmm.

Maybe I can convince Mrs. Wolfe
to bring a pumpkin pie

instead of string beans.

None of us have had it easy,
but being a single parent

from the get-go
seems especially hard.

She seems to be holding up well.

[knocking]

Hi.

We have a few things for you.

Oh, come on in.

Thank you.

It's just a few things
for the baby.

That's very sweet of you.

I'll take them upstairs,
it's heavy.

Oh, no no no.

Florence, that's all right.

I've got it.

Light as a feather.

Elizabeth, the only thing
you should be taking upstairs

is your baby.

Well, my baby isn't due
for another month, so.

I'm just fine.

Between teaching and getting
ready for the baby,

you already have
your hands full.

I can do it.

See?

Well, you're truly amazing.

Just doing the best I can.

And thank you.

Of course.

[door closes]

[exhausted breathing]

[sighs]

So the big day is almost here.

You excited?

[All] Yeah!

And later, we'll put your wishes
on the wishing tree.

Yes, Opal?

But the wishing tree
isn't up yet.

Oh, but I hear it's coming
this morning.

Now, put some thought
into your wish.

What's your Christmas wish,
Mrs Thornton?

It's to have a healthy baby.

My mom says that Mountie Jack
can see the baby from heaven.

Do you think that's true?

I do.

So do I.

Oh, this is our mayor,

Hello, Mayor Stanton.

Sheriff.

Please, call me Abigail.

My name is Lillian,
and this is my sister, Grace.

Good morning.

Good morning, Grace.

And this is Lee,
and Rosemary Coulter.

Hello.

Oh, look at all these lovely
little faces.

I was on my way back from
cutting the wishing tree

and I found them on
the side of the road.

Yeah, the wheel on our wagon...
broke.

Yeah, it's in pretty bad shape.

Someone was riding a little
too fast and hit a hole.

Truly, that hole came out
of nowhere.

Well, I can have a few of my men
pull it into town if you like.

That's very kind, thank you.

Well, in the meantime,

why don't you and the children
come in the cafe

and have some hot chocolate?

[Children] Yes!

[uncomfortably] No, thank you.
We don't want to trouble you.

Well, I'm having
a special today.

Chocolate is free.

[Children] Yes!!!
Woo-hoo!!!

Well, in that case.

Okay children, come on in.

Take a seat anywhere.

Mind your manners, everyone.

Thanks.

Oh, you're welcome.

Have a seat.

I'll get you some nice
hot chocolate.

Let us help you.

Oh, no, it's fine.

Oh, we appreciate your charity,

but we would really like
to lend a hand.

Okay, the kitchen is this way.

That's it, easy does it.

Here we go.

Got it?

Okay, guys, just into
the middle of the street.

There you go.

That's it.

Thanks, fellas.

Careful.

Good.

Whew.

All right, I'll head out
and grab their wagon now.

Okay.

Oh, take Michael and Kurt
with you,

and before you go...

[gasps]

Did you get 'em?

It wasn't easy, lemme tell ya.

That's okay.

[laughs]

Thank you.

Yeah, anytime
I can help.

Now go on, get outta here.

All right.

Well, it looks like hot
chocolate agrees with them.

Not just them.

[gulps]

Sorry.

So where are you headed?

Brookfield.

We're opening an
orphanage there.

Oh.

So, are these children...

Yes.

We started an orphanage
earlier this year

in Fairview, but...

we ran out of money.

So, we're moving to Brookfield
to the house I grew up in.

So you're going home.

It was never my home.

[door opens]

Can I have a muffin
to take with me?

Millie look!

Thank you.

[door closes]

He looks so familiar.
Is that him?

Gowen, Gowen.

I've got an ornament for you.

No, no thank you.

Yes, you can put it
on the tree.

No, no, thank you.

Oh, well.

Good morning you two, would you
like an ornament for the tree?

So, how long have you been
on the road?

About 12 days.

That's a long time.

Just need a couple more
to get to Brookfield.

Where you coming from?

Fairview.

But we stopped in Birch Lake
to pick up a couple of the boys

from the government-run
orphanage.

They were beyond capacity.

Well, wait.

You're headed to Brookfield
from Birch Lake.

Why would you come
through Hope Valley?

It's not the direct route.

I thought we'd take
the scenic route.

So, we'll need a new wheel.

Where's your blacksmith?

He's out of town
for the holidays.

You're kidding?

When's he get back?

Not til next week.

I told the children they'd be in
their new place for Christmas.

Well, it won't be happening.

Well, is there a spare 42-inch
wheel with a three-inch hub?

[laughs]

Well, doesn't look like it.

How do you know so much
about wheels?

My adoptive father
was an engineer.

He taught me a lot.

It's too bad he wasn't
a blacksmith, too.

[laughs]
Yeah.

Elizabeth, you should be
sitting down.

Oh, no. I'm fine.

Look at you.

May I?

Sure.

You're so close.

Oh, a month actually
feels like

a long time.

Do you think it's a boy
or a girl?

We'll find out soon enough.

Bye.

Bye.

In a month or so, all this
attention will be on your baby.

Something to look forward to.

[laughs]

How's the baby's room
coming along?

Oh, it's coming along.

I just have a few
final things to do.

I can't wait to see it.

Mmhmm, I'll have it ready soon.

And how's the Christmas Feast
coming along?

Well, the menu
is ever-changing.

Why?

I just assumed everyone
would bring

their favourite family recipe.

Yes, some people
are having difficulty

deciding what that might be.

Ah.

[laughs]

I'm so sorry that Becky
won't be coming this year.

I know.

But I'm happy that she's getting
to spend time

with her aunt.

Hey mom, who are
those kids over there?

Oh, Cody, they're on their way
to a new orphanage.

Their wagon broke down
just outside of town.

Oh.

Hi. My name's Cody.

I'm sure your mother
is going to love it.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas Clara.

[laughs]

Oh, hi.

Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

Busy?

Well, it is that time
of the year.

Too busy for...

An early Christmas present?

You want me to open it now?

Mm-hmm.

I told you not to go overboard.

Oh, it's nothing special.

Come on, open it.

[tearing up]

The Christmas performance of
The Nutcracker in Union City.

You said you've always wanted
to see it.

Thank you.

Yeah.

That's a neat sign.

It's from a parade we had
last year.

What did you do for Christmas
last year?

We had a little tree,

but we didn't really
celebrate Christmas.

What? That's crazy.

Robert!

It's no big deal.

But this year,

Miss Lillian and Miss Grace said
that we'd have real Christmas.

In Brookfield.

But that's not happening now,
Jimmy.

Do you want to find some sticks
for his arms?

Sure.

Cody! You having fun?

Are you okay?

I remember when I didn't
have a mom.

But you have one now.

Yeah, but...

What about these boys?

Well, maybe one day
they'll have a mom, too.

But until then, they have
Lillian and Grace.

Yeah.

I don't think they'll ever be
as lucky as me.

Oh, Cody.

I wish I could do something
for them.

Well, who says you can't?

Who would like more tea?

Oh, please.

So, will you be staying in town
for the holidays?

We're not going anywhere
on that broken wheel.

Hmm.

Although, on the plus side,
you can be our guests of honour

at the Christmas dinner
this year.

Oh, sounds like fun.

May I please have a cookie?

Is there a good place
to camp nearby?

There is no need to camp,
I have plenty of room here.

Yes, and I can make room
at my place.

That's very kind of you both,
but we can't.

Sure we can.

Grace.

What? What?

It's nippy out.

And we brought plenty
of blankets.

And we've camped in cold
weather before.

Okay, but now we don't have to.

Besides, I feel bad
weather coming.

You do?

Mmmhmm. Storm's brewing.

Could be a few days,
maybe a week.

Grace has an uncanny sense
for the weather.

She's like, a human
barometer.

Well, regardless of any of that,
we won't take no for an answer.

Cody is getting along
so well with the boys

that they can stay here.

And the girls can stay with me.

Okay, so I'll go with the girls,

and you can stay here
with the boys.

Wonderful. It's decided.

Okay.

But we'll want to give back
for all your generosity.

That is not necessary.

Oh, please.

Let us share some of
our Christmas spirit

with your wonderful town.

[laughs]

Elizabeth.

How's your cookie?

You're awfully quiet
over there.

Well, I really should get back

You've been working really hard,
Rosemary.

[laughs]

It's true.

Where's Dottie these days?

Well, if you can believe it,
business is so good,

she's actually thinking of
opening up another shop.

Really?

Yes, she's in Union City right
now checking out new locations.

Oh, in that case Rosemary,

don't worry about taking me
to Benson Hills.

Rosemary was going to take me
to get a stroller.

And I still am.

Before Christmas, I promise.

Children, what are you doing?

Hi, Mrs. Thornton.

Well, hello.

Now, remember the idea is
you're only supposed

to take one ornament
off the tree

to make someone's wish
come true.

We're taking down
all our wishes.

Why?

We want to change them.

We just have one wish
this year.

It's from all of us.

It was Cody's idea.

You should be very proud.

I most certainly am.

Lillian, thank you for adding
to our dessert menu.

It's my pleasure.

And speaking of desserts,
Bill, how's yours coming?

It's still a work in progress.

Hey Mom, can I go sledding
with some of the boys?

You have school
in about an hour.

I know, but they've never been
sledding before.

I'll be back in time for school.

Is it okay with you?

I'll make sure they
make it back in time.

[All] Yes!

Come on, let's go!

Thanks, Lillian.

Good luck.

Hmm.

What?

Still stumped by
the pudding recipe?

No, it's these sisters.

They're going from Birch Lake
to Brookfield,

it just doesn't make sense
that they'd travel

so far out of their way
to come through Hope Valley.

I get the feeling
that something's

not quite right with them.

I'll check them out.

Oh, that's all right.

I'll clean up.

Oh, nonsense.

What are we, girls?

[Both] A team!

[laughs]

Oh, well thank you.

Now, your name is Millie, right?

That's right.

I have hardly heard you say
even two words

since you've been here.

That's cause she doesn't talk.

Oh.

Well, what does Millie
like to do?

She likes to read.

Hmm.

Reading, huh?

[knocking at door]

Come in.

Good morning.

Hello, Elizabeth.

This is Millie.

Oh hi, Millie.

Now, I just found out

that Millie is quite the little
reader, and I thought,

who better to offer her

a selection of reading
material than you?

Well, you have come
to the right place.

I think you might be able
to find something

among those books over there.

So why don't you thumb
through them

and see if you can find
something good?

Here we go...

I just found out she doesn't
speak at all.

Something medical?

She hasn't been with them
very long,

so Grace doesn't know.

Well, maybe you should
send them over to see Carson.

He might be able to examine her.

That's a wonderful idea.

Oh, and I almost forgot.

I made this for the baby.

Rosemary, thank you.

It's beautiful.

I'll just take it right up
to the baby's room.

No, no, no. I can do it later.

It's not a problem.

Well, it's fine.
I'll do it.

All right.

That is an excellent choice.

Would you like to borrow it?

[sighs]

Abigail, wait, wait.
Come here.

I think this is the one.
I can feel it.

There.

Oh, that should do.

Wait for me.

Hmm?

Not quite there.

I don't know what
I'm doing wrong.

I wrote down all my mom's
ingredients,

I just don't have
the right portions.

Let me see.

Eggs, flour, figs, milk,
butter, sugar,

cinnamon, nutmeg,
baking powder, water,

and dates.

Yeah.

What about the secret ingredient

that goes into every
homemade baked good?

Secret ingredient?

Love.

Funny.

It's not just an expression,
Bill.

Well, if you find any
at the store,

make sure you pick me up some.

That's the point.

You can't buy it.

[door closes]

Carson, Faith.

Hi, Rosemary.

This is Lillian
and her sister, Grace,

and this little one is Millie.

Hello.

It's nice to meet you.

I've heard about you two.

You run the orphanage, right?

That's right.

We were hoping you could take
a look at Millie.

Yeah, sure.

What seems to be the problem?

Millie doesn't speak.

Or at least, we're told she
hasn't spoken in quite a while.

We don't know
what the problem is.

Well, Millie.

Why don't we go over here
and take a look at you?

Let's sit you up right here.

One, two, three!

Well, you have some bright eyes,
young lady.

Do you know what that tells me?

It tells me you've got a lot
going on right up here.

You're constantly thinking,
aren't you?

Thank you.

Open up.

Hmm.

Well, I'm gonna have to give
this some serious thought.

Oh, well, not too serious,
doctor?

You remember what happened
last time you did that.

Oh, I'll be fine, nurse.

Hmm.

[snores]

[giggles]

[snorts] What happened?
Who moved the barn?

[laughs]

[Carson] Did it happen again?

[Faith] It sure did.

I am so sorry, I am
so embarrassed.

Excuse me, please.

She's able to make sounds,
so if she spoke before,

she probably still can.

Hmm.

Millie.

Can you say something?

Anything?

Even boo!

I'll do some research
and get back to you.

Thank you, Doctor Shepherd.

That was a very nice thing
you did,

taking down all of
your Christmas wishes.

But now we have to make
Christmas special

for the orphans.

Well, you could get
to know them.

Play with them.

I think they'd like presents.

Yeah.

What kid wouldn't like presents?

[laughs]

That's true.

We could put all our money
together and buy them toys.

But, the mercantile
is low on toys,

and if we ordered them,
they won't get here in time.

What if we chose one of
our own toys to give away?

You mean like the ones
we don't use much anymore.

Or ones you really like.

Wouldn't that be special?

Like our kite.

It needs a new tail,
but we could fix it.

I have some favourite dolls.

I have a dollhouse.

If I painted it, it would be
as good as new.

That's a wonderful idea.

Now since this is
the final day of school,

consider this a take-home
project.

I'll be around if you need
any help,

but I can already tell
you're on the right track.

[mumbling to herself]

Oh, Rosemary!

Oh, hello.

Hi.

I just ran into Florence.

She told me that you
and Abigail were swamped

at the Christmas Eve feast.

Yes, indeed.

It seems every time
I cross off a to-do,

another three appear.

Just tell me what you need.
I want to help.

Wonderful, thank you.

Well, we definitely need help
decorating the saloon.

Perfect.

And how are you with desserts?

Not... so perfect.

Decorations it is.

Let's see.

We'll need ornaments
for the Christmas tree.

I was thinking snow-covered
pinecones,

white and gold ribbon,
green garland,

handcrafted snowflakes.

And table runners,
preferably gold.

Candles, plates, silverware,
drinking glasses,

cups and saucers...

What am I forgetting?

Perhaps I should make you
a list.

A list would be great.

Come this way.

[footsteps in snow]

There you are,
and there you are.

Thank you.

Morning, Ned.

Good morning.

What do I owe you?

That'll be 75 cents.

Thank you.

Hi.

[cash register dings]

That's very nice.

Thank you.

All right, take care.

Yeah.

Bye.

Good morning, Henry.

Morning.

Chilly out there.

Oh yeah?

[door creaks open]

What can I do for you?

Well, that's... that's
a very nice book.

What would you like?

Come on in.

I don't think she talks, Henry.

Oh.

Well, I think she'd like you
to read to her.

Oh.

Would you like to sit?

Well, it looks like a nice book.

"The Greatest
Christmas Wish."

All right.

"The young girl skipped
through the magical town,

"marvelling at the glittering
snow on the ground.

"Passing the baker's shop,

"she paused to see all
the wonderful goodies

"he made merrily.

"He called out
in his cheery way,

"what her Christmas wish was
on this beautiful day.

"Laughing, she asked
what he thought it might be.

"He wrinkled his brow and
answered cookies and tea.

"She smiled and said,
though that wish is just fine.

"However lovely,
that wish is not mine."

That's nice.

I hear your kids are doing
something special

for the orphans.

Yes, they are.

Is this all for your
Christmas Eve dish?

What?

Oh, I was just asking you what
you were making for the feast.

Oh.

Apple dumplings.

Ah!

It's just, I've never seen you
purchase these items before.

Well, they're sweet, sour,
salty, crunchy,

and that pretty much covers
all of my cravings, Ned.

Sardines?

They go with the pickled eggs!

Carbonated water.

On the house.

For you.

Thank you.

Enjoy.

Hello.

Hey.

You ready?

I might need another hour
or maybe two.

Like the night air,
our business is brisk.

Ooh.

Still can't believe you got
those tickets for me.

Why?

Well, I never really knew you
appreciated "The Nutcracker".

I mean, it is ballet.

Ballet?

You knew that, right?

'Course.

[laughs weakly]

You two are going to
"The Nutcracker"?

Jessie got us tickets.

The Christmas performance
in Union City.

At the Vogue?

Mmhmm.

Oh my goodness,
that's their big show.

Ball gowns, tuxedos,
it's a very fancy affair.

[nervous]
Uh-huh.

I have to get back to work.

Okay. I'll see you in a bit.

Mmmhmm.

Jessie...

I could get this tuxedo here
in two days,

if you're interested.

It's on special.

Oh, wow.

And, how much does
that cost?

Oh, uh, there's the price.

You know what?

That's okay.

Uh, I have a suit already.

It'll work just fine, I think.

All right.

Thanks though.

Mmmhmm.

So, we can't find anything
physically wrong with Millie.

So, do you think
it's psychological?

What can you tell me about
her upbringing?

We know she lived in a couple
of other orphanages.

Oh, that had to be hard.

Yeah, it is.

Don't worry, it's fine.

Fine?

What did I miss?

Grace and I were orphaned.

I was seven and she was five.

Our parents died
of tuberculosis.

And we ended up in
different orphanages.

Oh, my.

So you both know
what it's like, then.

Well, I was adopted
when I was 8.

You know, no one...
no one ever picked me.

So, we lost touch.

But when I was old enough,
I set out looking for her,

and it wasn't easy.

But this past February,
she found me.

I was working as a waitress
in a seafood restaurant.

It was the happiest day
of my life.

Mine too.

[laughs]

And soon after, we decided
we'd open our own orphanage.

You know, we want to do
this differently.

So, you're moving the orphanage
to the house

that you grew up in.

Wait, so this is the first
Christmas that you two

have spent together
since you were kids?

Yeah, it is.

It's not exactly what you were
thinking it'd be, I'm sure.

Oh, we're together and
that's all that matters.

Well, I think you two might find
that Christmas in Hope Valley

is pretty special.

...So it's a Christmas
stew then.

-Great.
-Wonderful.

Ladies.

Hi.

Bertha has decided
not to make a roast.

It's a Christmas stew now.

Oh, sounds good.

What is Christmas
without a roast?

I'll make it.

When I asked people to bring
their favourite holiday dish,

I didn't realize they'd have
such a hard time deciding.

Too many to choose from.

I guess.

But it's made the menu
for the Christmas Eve feast

a moving target.

I just hope Ned has all
the ingredients I need.

The shelves are starting
to look a little bare.

And you have a few more mouths
to feed.

Oh, with Lilly and Grace and
their children, you're right.

Their stories checked out
by the way.

What did you find out?

I wired Birch Lake and Fairview.

And?

Well, it turns out these sisters
recently closed their orphanage,

and then they picked up a couple
kids in Birch Lake

about six days ago.

Good.

Now you can focus on more
important things,

like your figgy pudding.

I think I got it figured out.

[laughs]

Elizabeth, how are you doing?

Hi. I'm all right.

Oh, are you sure?

What's wrong?

I'm just scared.

Why?

I don't feel ready.

For the baby?

What does that say about me?

Well, I can tell you,
not feeling ready

is pretty normal
for your first child.

Abigail, I can't
even bring myself

to set up the baby's room.

[sighs]
Oh.

I always thought I'd be doing it
with Jack.

Not having him here,
it's just overwhelming.

Well, one day very soon,
when you're holding your baby,

the only thing you will be
overwhelmed by

is how much you love him
or her.

I should really be getting home.

Oh.

Thank you.

Abigail!

I spoke with Florence and Molly,
and they have agreed

to help us set up the saloon
for the Christmas Eve feast.

What is it, Abigail?

Do you have plans tonight?

No, why?

[Jesse] Lee, I don't think
this is gonna work.

Oh, come on down.

Let's have a look.

Right?

Okay.

[laughing]

I told you this wasn't
gonna fit.

Uh... I thought maybe Rosemary
could let it out a bit, but...

No, that's not gonna work.

How are the shoes?

Oh, well the shoes
actually fit fine.

Oh, well, that's one thing.

We got the shoes.

[All] Yeah.

[laughs]

[soft knock at door]

Hi.

That's really very nice of you
but you don't have to...

Ah-ah-ah-ah!

We won't take no for an answer
so don't even try.

We have everything you'll need.

I've got a selection of drapery,

regardless of whether
you have a boy or a girl.

And here are three selections
of wallpaper for you

to choose from.

Your choice.

But this one's the best.

All right, ladies.

Let's get to work.

This was your idea,
wasn't it?

Well, I know you are strong,
Elizabeth.

But, together, we are stronger.

[Instrumental version of
"Deck The Halls"]
♪

[both gasp]

Ah, yes.

There we go.

Okay.

Good.

[light hammering]

Good, good.

Yes.

Open your eyes.

So?

What do you think?

Oh...

It's beautiful.

Really?

Because I could switch out
the curtains.

[tearing up] No, no, no, no.
It's perfect.

Thank you all.

So much.

Elizabeth.

We're family.

And this is what family does
for each other.

It's just missing one thing.

What's it missing.

Oh, I told you we should have
brought flowers.

There.

Now the room is complete.

Lee.

Have a seat, I've got pancakes.

Get em while they're hot.

Oh, I would love to sweetheart,
but I have to go to work.

[disappointed]
Oh.

Come on, girls.
We're leaving.

Wait, what?

You're leaving as well?

Yeah, I'm going to Abigail's.

What, no!

You can eat here.

Oh, thank you so much,
but I have a morning ritual

with Thomas, one of our boys,

and I really don't
want to miss it.

Well, if you're going
to Abigail's place,

I can drop you off
on my way to work.

Oh, that would be great.

Thanks.

Great.

Come on, girls!

Can we stay for a while?

No, we're going to Abigail's
to see the boys!

[All] Aww...

You know what?

Why don't you leave them here
with me?

Are you sure?

They're kind of, you know,
a handful.

Are you kidding me?

They're little angels.

And besides, I've got
all these pancakes.

I'll drop them off at Abigail's
on my way to work.

Thank you.

HmmMmm.

Shall we?

All right, girls.

Breakfast is ready.

[All] Yay!

Close your eyes, please.

All right.

For the surprise.

Oh?

Are they closed?

Shut tight.

Promise?

I promise.

Okay. Open them.

Oh?

What do you think?

You're wearing my...

How do we look?

[laughs]

Like you are ready to go
out on the town.

You know, I wore that dress
a few Christmases ago.

I'm wearing that one
this Christmas,

and I might wear your dress
next Christmas.

So I guess that makes you
Christmas past,

Christmas present
and Christmas future.

[giggles]

Hi.

Of course.

Thank you.

Hi.

I see you're out
for your daily walk.

Yes, well, my doctor
has been very firm

about me getting enough
fresh air and exercise.

Sounds like a wise man.

Yes, very wise.

Let's not have you catch a chill
while you're following orders.

Thank you, Carson.

And how about your fruit
and vegetables?

Are you getting enough?

I know it's tough
with it being winter.

Abigail has been keeping me
in constant supply

thanks to all the canning
she did this fall.

Wonderful.

Don't forget our appointment
next week.

It's on the calendar.

Okay then, we'll see you
at the feast.

Wouldn't miss it.

-Okay.
-Bye.

Hi.

Don't worry, Thomas.
She'll be here.

There she is!

I told ya.

I wouldn't miss this.

I have it ready.

Okay, let's do this.

All right.

"Thomas Baker."

There you go.

[sighs]

Crisis averted.

Why do you think his mom
started doing that?

I don't know, but it's really
sweet of you to keep up

the morning tradition.

[laughs]

Well, I mean,
you can do it too.

I think it's more special for
him if only one of us does it.

But, if need be,
I will jump in.

[laughs]

So, how'd it go?

I'm worried.

You're always worried.

And you're never
worried enough.

We could be in serious trouble.

Bill.

What are you doing?

Getting more baking supplies.

I thought you said you had it
figured out.

I was wrong.

It's still missing something.

Hmm.

Oh, Ned.

Do you have any stockings?

How many do you need?

Eight.

That's a lot.

It's for the children
that came to town.

I'll check.

Thank you.

Why eight stockings?

Because there are eight of them.

There's seven.

Eight.

There you are.

Oh, thank you.

That'll be $2.

Here you go.

Thank you.

I was told on those wires
that the sisters left with five,

and picked up two more.

Then you were given
bad information.

Or you miscounted.

I know how to count
to eight.

[footsteps]

Hi.

Hi.

What is it?

Nothing.

Not bad.

My shirt fits you perfectly.

It really does.

You don't happen to have
a fancy coat and pants, do ya?

No, sorry.

Hmm.

You know?

Henry left a coat here.

I wonder if that would fit.

Here, this is it.

Here, try that.

Hey.

Yeah.

That works.

Yeah?

Isn't it a little too short
though?

Looks good enough.

You'll be a trendsetter.

Yeah.

What about the pants?

Hmm, pants.

You know, there is
one other guy in town

I can think of that might be
the same size as you.

"The young girl proceeded
to make several more stops.

"A seamstress, cobbler,
and hat-maker shops.

"They all noticed the twinkle
in her pretty blue eyes,

"and asked what she wanted
for her Christmas surprise.

"She shook her head
and gave them no clues.

"They shouted out
"A bonnet? A dress?

"Perhaps new shoes?"

"She smiled and said

"Though those wishes are fine,

"however lovely,
those wishes are not mine."

Is that all right?

That stew smells delicious.

It was my Mom's favourite
recipe.

Do you two remember anything
from your Christmases together?

Growing up?

Our last Christmas
I was only five,

so no, not much.

Do you remember
the matching pyjamas?

Yeah, that's right!

Matching pyjamas
for the both of you?

For the whole family.

Oh.

We would all wear them
on Christmas day.

[children laughing]

One moment.

Bill, what's going on?

I'm trying to count
these boys

that came with Lillian
and Grace.

One, two, three,
four, five, six.

I'm Robert.

[laughs]
Bill.

I've lived here for
a long time?

Oh, right.

That means there's five boys
and three girls.

It's eight.

Abigail was right.

Of course she was.

[laughs]

Bill.

Lee wants your pants.

Excuse me?

Your fanciest pair.

Please.

[sighs]

Well, the baby's room
is ready, Jack.

But I'm not sure that I am.

[sighs]

Oh, sorry Bill.

The oven is taken.

Oh, that's fine.

Can I talk to you
for a second?

Sure.

I got a wire confirming
what I told you.

Lillian and Grace left their
orphanage with five kids.

They picked up two more
in Birch Lake.

Where did the eighth kid
come from?

I don't know.

They're not telling
us something.

I'm sure there's a simple
explanation.

I don't share your optimism.

Well, I guess the only way
we find out is to ask them.

Just keep this under wraps
for now,

until I do some more digging.

Okay.

Thank you so much
for helping, Clara.

Oh, no problem.

What would Christmas be
without a last-minute order?

[laughs]

Exactly.

This is going to bring happiness

to some people who desperately
need it.

Mm.

That's what Christmas
is all about.

Speaking of which,

how is the big Christmas Eve
feast coming along?

[laughs] Oh, there is
so much to do.

But, Lillian and Grace and
the children have offered

to sing Christmas carols at it.

I hear Abigail is having trouble
with people changing their minds

on the dishes that
they're bringing in?

It is true.

But, so far, she has arranged
for 12 appetizers,

11 side dishes, and 10 soups
and salads.

And a partridge
in a pear tree?

[giggles]

I'll have to check on that.

Opal, what's going on?

I've got a lot of toys,

and I don't know which
one would make

a special Christmas present.

Oh... well.

I can think of one way
you could decide.

How?

Just ask yourself which
present would make

Christmas special for you.

These children are just like
any other children.

[excitedly]
I've got it.

Thanks, Mrs Thornton.

You're welcome.

Rosemary.

[laughs]

Elizabeth, I am so sorry.

I didn't even see you.

I have a million things to do.

But I haven't forgot my promise.

It can wait.

Nonsense, Elizabeth.

I only have three...

four.

Four more errands to run.

But then I am all yours.

Rosemary, really. I don't mind.

Elizabeth. I am taking you
to Benson Hills today.

You can count on it.

[laughs]

[children laughing]

Whoa! Nice throw!

Ha, ha, ha!

Here you go.

You're quiet.

Just thinking.

About what?

Mom and Dad.

This time of year always
makes me miss them more.

Me too.

Do you remember much?

Mom smelled like lilacs.

I remember how much
she loved that bush out front.

And I remember her running
outside with a broom,

to shoo Dad away every time
he got too close.

That man loved to prune.

See, this...

is why I don't talk
about them.

There's nothing wrong
with tears, Grace.

They don't change anything.

Sometimes they make you
feel better.

You should try it sometime.

Can I talk to you both
in the parlour?

Absolutely.

Okay.

The roast is in.

Hi.

Can we all have a seat?

Sure.

What's going on, Bill?

Something didn't sit right
with your story

of how you ended up here.

And then I found out
you have an extra kid.

So I did a little digging,

I contacted every
Mountie station

within a hundred mile radius.

This is from Woodman Falls
Mountie station down south.

A little girl named Millie
missing from her orphanage.

Lillian and Grace are accused
of taking her.

You took her
from the orphanage?!

No.

We can explain.

At this point, you'll have
to tell it to a judge.

You two are in
serious trouble.

I'm taking Millie back.

This isn't what it looks like,
okay?

The train to Woodman Falls
arrives in one hour.

Please, don't take her.

The coach to the station arrives
in a half hour,

and Millie and I
will be on that.

It was my fault!

I hid Millie in the wagon!

Don't take my sister!

When Charlotte came to us
in July,

she told us about
her little sister, Millie,

and how they'd been
split up.

We promised we would find her,

and we've been searching
for Millie ever since.

So when we found her at
the Woodman Falls orphanage,

we contacted the director,
who said that if we filed

the correct paperwork, he
would transfer her to us.

It took time to get
all the documentation

that the government requires,
but... we filed.

All we needed was the director's
signature.

By the time we got there,

the director had taken
a new position,

and the new director refused
to honour

what the other one said.

So you took her.

No, um...

We wired a judge.

But he wired back and said
that we'd have to wait a month

for him to be in town.

So then you took her.

Bill, let them talk.

No.

We left her there.

Or so we thought.

We told her that we'd come back
for her in a month,

after we set up the orphanage
in Brookfield.

And that we would fight
it in court.

And when we tried one more time
to convince Ms McCutchen

to let Millie go...

Miss McCutchen is
the new director

of the Woodman Falls orphanage.

Millie snuck out.

Me and the rest
of the kids hid her

in the back of
the wagon with us.

We didn't find her until
the wagon wheel broke,

and I was unloading the kids
to see if I could fix it.

When we got to town,

we were scared and we didn't
know what to do, but...

we are not lawbreakers.

Bill...

They're here now.

At least let them spend
Christmas together.

Pretty please?

I mean, what's a couple
extra days?

I've already sent a wire
informing them

that I'll be taking Millie
back today.

If it's as you say, then you
shouldn't be in big trouble.

But I have to take her back.

Thank you.

What is it?

You look like our dad.

It won't always be like this.

You be brave and you'll
get through it.

We have to go.

We'll get you back.

Promise.

Bye, Millie.

Can you say goodbye?

You can talk.

I know you can.

I'm sorry.

Come on.

Look.

We know where she is.

We're going to raise money
and hire a lawyer, okay?

[Children] Millie!

Oh, Millie!

Thank you.

I'll wire the Woodman Hills
Mountie station

and let them know that I...
missed the train.

I'll get her there
after Christmas.

This only buys you
a couple days.

[panicked]
My roast!

Oh, excuse me children!

[panicked]
Oh, oh!

[gasps]

Maybe people will like it
well done?...

Not that well done.

No, I'm sold out.

What about a turkey?

No, no. I've got nothing.

And I'm closed on Christmas,

so my next shipment isn't due
for a couple of days.

Oh, I need a main dish
for the feast tonight.

Do you have any idea where
I can get another roast?

A long shot would be
Benson Hills, I suppose.

Oh, great idea.

Let's wire them.

Are you going to try making
your figgy pudding again?

I don't know, it's not
coming out right.

Figgy pudding?

Figgy pudding was
our favourite dessert.

What do you say you give it
another shot?

Why not?

Group project!

Oh, wait, no, no.
I wasn't...

I didn't mean...

It's going to be fun together.

Fine.

Well then, let's be organized
about this, shall we?

I'm gonna need two cups
of flour from you.

Two cracked eggs from you,
please.

And one tablespoon of ground
nutmeg from you, please.

Are you sure you don't mind?

It's Christmas Eve.

Oh, shush, shush, shush.

We'll be there and back
in no time.

Rosemary!

I have a huge favour
to ask you.

Yes, of course.

I need to get a roast
by tonight.

Oh yes, I heard about
the mishap.

Ned is out.

He wired Benson Hills,
the butcher there has one.

He's holding it for me.

I have to pick it up by 5:00.

Well, take Abigail.

My stroller can wait.

No, no, no.

I can take both of you.

We just need to find
a bigger car.

[engine putters]

And I know just the person
who has one.

Oh.

Oh, oh, oh!

Mmm.

That's what I'm talking about.

What did I do different?

I'm looking for Sheriff
Bill Avery.

Well, you found him.

I'm Agnes McCutchen.

I'm here to pick up Millie
and return her to my orphanage.

How did you get here so fast?

I left last night, once I heard
that Millie was here.

I've dealt with Lillian
and Grace,

I know how much they want
that little girl,

so I left nothing to chance.

And, sure enough,
once I reached Buxton,

I wired the Mountie Station,

and they informed me
you had missed your train.

I'm guessing those two women
had something to do with that.

I was going to take Millie back
after Christmas.

Now you don't have to.

Once I collect Millie,
we'll be on our way.

This one and her sister
should be arrested.

Not if their story holds up.

Even if what they say is true,

they should have brought Millie
straight back.

How?

Our wheel was broken.

Are you going to arrest them,

or are you going to find
a lawman who will?

Shouldn't this be about what's
best for the little girl?

Believe me, it is.

I get it.

You were young
and inexperienced,

you don't understand.

Understand what?

Millie doesn't talk.

I can see that.

So she needs to learn
how to sign.

What kind of training do you
and your sister have in that?

Running an orphanage is hard.

Being an orphan is harder.

I don't know where
you got your license,

but being an orphan doesn't
qualify you to run an orphanage.

No.

But giving these kids real love
and emotional support does.

Millie needs the professional
services I can provide

at my orphanage.

More than anything, what
she needs is her sister.

Are you going to do your job?

Charlotte says that Millie
can speak.

The doctor in town says
she has no physical problems.

Just talk to him.

Please.

If you don't retrieve her,

I will wire the Mountie station
in Buxton.

Millie's at a friend of mine's
house with the other girls.

You go with Lillian to talk
with Doctor Shepard.

I'll get Millie.

I'll bring her to you there.

[car engine putters]

All right.

There you are.

Thank you.

Ooh.

Okay.

I will go buy the stroller,
and you two get the roast.

-Mm-hmm.
-Okay.

We'll pick you up in front
of the shop.

All right.

No, no, we're here,
we're here!

Abigail Stanton.

You're holding a roast for me.

I was holding a roast for you.
I sold it five minutes ago.

[gasps]

Are you kidding?

Sorry, Ma'am. It was
a hot commodity.

I had a grandmother waiting for
an hour to see if you'd make it.

I couldn't say no.

Oh, well.

I guess you couldn't.

Do you have a turkey?

Sorry, Ma'am.
Sold out.

A chicken?

What do you have?

You know what?

Bill's pants fit you
like a glove.

Between my shoes,
Carson's shirt,

Henry's jacket,
and Bill's pants,

you have an outfit.

I feel like a human puzzle.

[laughs]

Well, there's one more piece
to the puzzle.

Here.

These are, uh,
my dad's cufflinks.

I wore 'em on my first date
with Rosemary,

so I know they're good luck.

Thanks, Lee.

For everything.

Yeah.

You're welcome.

Now go on, get outta here.

I got a lot of work to do if I'm
gonna get to that feast on time.

I'll see you later.

Okay.

Chestnuts! Excuse me, Sir,
would you like some chestnuts?

Look, sweetheart...

I miss you, Jack.

Your strength.

Your laughter, your...
presence.

Could really use all of that
right about now.

I just wish you were here.

Take a walk with me.

Come on, let's go.

[engine putters]

Elizabeth.

Hi.

Are you okay?

Couldn't be better.

Did you get the roast?

Not quite.

[laughs]

Salami.

A salami?

[laughs]

Millie seems like a very bright
girl who can make sounds.

I think her problem is
purely psychological.

Charlotte says she used
to be a chatterbox.

She stopped talking on the day
they were told

they were going to different
orphanages.

All the kids brought to me
have suffered a lot.

All I can do is help them
function in society,

which is what I'm trying to do
with Millie.

Well, how much are you helping
if she's still not talking?

She's been at my orphanage
for over a year,

and she's never uttered
a word,

so I have to assume
she never will.

That is why she needs
to learn how to sign.

I am trying to teach her.

But she's resistant.

The other director was ready
to transfer her to us.

Well, there's a reason
why he left.

He wasn't cut out
for the job.

What is the harm in letting
Millie stay with her sister

for a little while?

My job is to prepare my orphans
for life in the real world.

And for Millie, that means
getting along without words.

You can afford
to be sentimental.

I can't.

Where is she?

She's at the saloon.

Saloon?

She's getting ready
for the feast

with the rest
of the orphans.

Can you at least let her stay
for that?

No.

It's time to go.

I will get her myself.

[engine putters]

You know what I love
about Christmas?

There are so many things.

You can pick just one?

It's the feeling.

The feeling?

Of being with family
and friends.

Oh, the feeling I feel
right now.

Aww...

Yes, exactly.

And of making other
people happy.

And reliving old traditions.

Creating new ones.

[laughs]

Like Christmas salami.

Precisely.

[all laugh]

Oh, Sheriff.

Mrs. Blakely sent us to get
your figgy pudding.

Girls, I'm a little preoccupied
right now.

But the feast is about
to begin.

Well, that's all right.

Nobody eats dessert first.

Oh, I do.

Especially if it's figgy
pudding.

All right.

Just go get it.

Thanks, Sheriff.

You sure you don't want to let
her spend a happy night

with the others?

It'll make leaving
that much harder.

Rosemary, are you okay
to drive in this?

Yes, I'll be fine.

Maybe we should pull over.

I don't think that would be
much safer.

Well, go slow.

[Both] Oh!

Okay, just a little bump.

Just a little bump.

[moans]
Ooh!

Okay, Elizabeth, this is not the
time to be overly overdramatic.

Abigail?

What does labour feel like,
exactly?

[moans]

Like that.

No, no, no Elizabeth.

You cannot go into labour
right now.

Rosemary, I'm afraid
it doesn't work that way.

I'll be fine.

We can make it ho...

[moans]

[all scream]
Ahhhhh!!!!!!

How can you keep them apart?

I tell you what,

when I have an opening, you
can come live in my orphanage

to be with your sister.

Okay?

Sheriff!

Telegram arrived for you.

You're not going
anywhere tonight.

This is from Benson Hills
Mountie station.

"Heavy storms headed
your way."

Told ya.

"Roads not safe."

Benson Hills?

Rosemary borrowed my car to take
Abigail and Elizabeth there.

She what?

Abigail was picking up a roast.

Have they come back?

I haven't seen them.

I was wondering why they weren't
here to help set up.

Okay, I'll get my car.

No. It's too dangerous
to drive.

It's not safe for Elizabeth
to be out in this weather.

It's not safe for anyone.

We go to Benson Hills
by horse.

Okay, well, let's go.

Doc, you should come, too.

Of course.

Get inside. Come on.

[moans]

Oh, I am so, so sorry.

It's okay, Rosemary.

The road is slippery.

I think we should get back
in the car.

She's in labour.

We need to find shelter.

Now, I think there's a hunting
cabin nearby.

Okay, which way?

That way.

Are you sure?

Pretty sure.

Good enough. Let's go.

Okay. Here we go.

Here.

I've got you, Elizabeth.

I've got you. I've got you,
I've got you.

Thank you.

Ho, ho.

Straight ahead's the fastest
road to Benson Hills.

This road's longer, but
it's in better condition.

Well, I know Rosemary.

She definitely would have
taken the fastest route.

Pretty sure Abigail
would've gone that way.

We should cover both.

I'll go this way.

Lee, fire three shots
if you find them.

Okay, got it.

Okay, here we go.

Come on. Come on.

Yah.

[Heavy breathing]

Oooh!

It's okay, it's okay.

Oooh!

I'm all right. I'm all right.

I'm all right.

Let's go! Giddy up!

I don't think Rosemary
had a scarf on.

Never wears mittens,
she must be freezing.

They have each other, Lee.

And they're smart,
capable women.

This weather doesn't care how
smart and capable you are.

We have to find them.

We will.

Okay, come on.

H'yah.

Hey, guys, come with me.

Let's go sing.

When I'm scared, it helps when
I hold my bear real tight.

Like this.

It's a nice one.

It is.

Would you like to try?

Psst, Charlotte.

Come. Come on.

Okay, guys, let's sing
the one about the angels.

♪ Angels we have heard
on high ♪

♪ Sweetly singing
over the plains ♪

♪ And the mountains
in reply ♪

♪ Echoing their
joyous strains ♪

♪ Glo-ori-a,

♪ in excelsis Deo

♪ Glo-ori-a,

[moans]

It's all right. Are you ok?

♪ in excelsis Deo♪

Do you want to rest?

Okay, okay, up you go.

♪ ...Sweetly, sweetly
through the night ♪

♪ And the mountains
in reply ♪

♪ Echoing...

-Careful.
-Nice and slow.

♪ Glo-ori-a,

Let's go!

♪ in excelsis Deo

I think it's this way.

♪ Glo-ori-a

There! There!

There it is!

[laughter]

All right.

Now, careful, careful.

All right, come in.

Come in.

What do we do now?

Okay, uh, let me think.

Sure, take your time.

[moans loudly]
Ohhhhh!

Uh... uh...

Oh, Rosemary, take that pot
and fill it up with snow.

[continues to moan loudly]

Okay, hang on.

What are you doing?

[panicked breathing]

That'll do.

All right, Elizabeth...

Hold on, hold on.

Here we go.
Here we go.

Oh, Rosemary, Rosemary, I think
we're gonna need some more wood.

More wood, got it.

Okay, just breathe.

[breathing]

Carson, look!

Yah, yah.

Come on!

[sighs]

They're on foot.

Why would she leave the car?

I told her if there's ever
an accident to stay put.

It looks like they went
this way.

Rosie!

Rosie!

H'yah.

Okay. Good girl, good girl.

Okay, okay.

[agonized whimper]

You're doing great.

You and your baby
are doing fine.

You can get through this.

We've done all that
we can do now.

Okay...

It's up to you.

Okay.

You can do it.

You are the strongest woman
I know.

All right.

We're gonna do a big push.

You ready?

Okay.

All right.

Okay, take a deep breath.

Here you go.

Woah, woah, woah,
woah, woah.

H'yah, h'yah, h'yah.

Come on, come on.

Woah.

Wait.

Do you smell that?

It's smoke.

It's coming from over here.

Let's go.

H'yah.

You think?

[baby crying]

She had the baby.

Yes!

Let's move gentleman.

Okay.

[baby crying]

[knocking]

Who is it?

Rosie, sweetheart.

It's me.

I've got Bill and Carson
with me.

Come in.

Oh...

I have a beautiful baby boy.

[laughs]

Shut the door.

May I take a look?

Aw...

Nicely done.

Well, Elizabeth did most
of the work.

Oh.

You were talking about her.

[laughs]

He's beautiful.

And I know just
what to call him.

As if we had any doubt.

Jack.

[laughs]

[engine putters]

They're back.

[excited chatter]

You had the baby.

She had the baby!

[joyous laughter]

Oh, excuse us.

Hi.

Well...

How is Elizabeth?

She's doing well.

Good, good.

Now, we didn't have
the Christmas Eve feast.

We couldn't, seeing as we were
all so worried about you.

But we did save
all of the food.

Mm-hmm.

Well then, we'll have
a Christmas feast.

Wonderful.

Which reminds me.

Christmas Salami.

O-oh.

[laughs]

Why not?

Wonderful.

The roads are passable.

It's time to go.

Hello.

You made your Christmas
wish yet?

I did, too.

Would you like to know
what mine was?

That someday, you'd read
this book to me.

"At last, it was Christmas Day.

"But no one could agree

"on what the little girl had
wished for under the tree.

"The jeweller guessed rubies,
the cook, ancient spice.

"While the scholar thought
a new book would be nice.

"They all waited and waited,
excited to see

"what the lovely wish was,
she had made so happily.

"Talking and singing
to pass the time,

"though the little girl was
late, no one seemed to mind."

Go ahead.

"They talked about family
and sang songs of love.

"While eating a feast
and giving thanks to above.

"After waiting for hours,
the girl finally appeared.

"And as she told
her Christmas wish,

"the crowd all cheered."

I'm sure your father would be
very proud of you.

Thanks.

Millie is now officially
in your care.

Thank you.

I'm glad it all worked out.

Yes.

Sisters belong together.

I see how you care
for these children.

They're lucky to have you.

We're lucky to have them.

We had a little adventure,
didn't we?

I promise you will always
be loved

and you will always
be taken care of.

And even though
you can't see him,

I promise that your daddy
is here watching over us.

And he always will.

Hi.

Brought you some food.

Abigail.

I imagined it would
be wonderful,

but I never knew it would be
like this.

Oh...

You can't know until you're
actually holding your baby.

Thank you for helping me
bring him into the world.

It was my pleasure.

You are always there for me.

And I always will be.

Oh.

"The Greatest Christmas Wish
wasn't about a new bonnet,

"dress, or shoe.

"It was about the miracle
of Christmas

"that made it come true.

"It wasn't about dozens
of boxes wrapped in bows."

"Or found in stockings
stuffed with goodies

"all the way up
to their toes."

"It wasn't baked in an oven
or found upon a shelf."

"It wasn't bought in a store,
or made by an elf."

"Though it may have been
wished by one,

"it was meant for many."

"And after all the fuss
and fret, it didn't even
cost a penny."

Thank you.

"For the Greatest Christmas wish
wasn't about any material need.

"It was about spending time
with friends,

"the best family indeed."
