Oh!

I am so sorry, Cam.

It's cool.

I had to stop at the downtown shelter,

and my car's still in the shop.

I thought you were picking it up last week.

I still owe the mechanic one payment.

[CAM] I thought you had it!

Oh, wait. Let me guess.

There was this dog.

First of all, it was a cat.

And the poor thing got hit by a car,

and when the shelter vet called me, I just, I had to...

You just had to chip in, as always.

Molly...

Your soft spot for furry creatures

is going to send you to the poor house.

Here you go.

Hey!

How about your interview? Have you heard back yet?

Not yet, but I'm still hopeful.

I really want to work there.

Rollins and Ward.

I've heard of them.

Really?

No.

Ha-ha!

Well, trust me, they are huge in advertising.

Bigger then the Bishop Agency?

[CAM] It's a joke.

I of all people know how you feel

about being under your dad's thumb.

I mean, you left his firm to work here.

That says everything.

God, Cam, I really want this job.

[CAM] Actually, you really need this job.

Cafe's closing at the end of the year, remember?

Yeah, I can't believe Mr. Bartlett sold it.

[CAM] I can. After his wife died,

he just didn't care anymore.

You and I have practically single-handedly run the place

for the last six months.

[MOLLY] It's true.

Hey, since Mr. Bartlett is never in anymore,

why don't we start selling dog treats?

I found this amazing recipe.

We could make it organic. It would be great!

[CAM] One day they're going to find you're buried

under a pile of dogs and cats.

You know that, right?

Hmm.

I can't think of a better way to go.

Oh, Lynn.

I sold one of your knitted sweaters.

Really?

Your last client bought one?

I did not peg that MMA fighter as the type to put

a holiday sweater on a cat.

Apparently it's a hairless cat.

She gets cold this time of year.

Oh. [LAUGHS]

This wouldn't have anything to do with the fact

that I won't take a holiday bonus from you?

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

Did we even discuss that?

You already donate a ton to your nephew's school.

That is enough.

And you could clean your desk once in a while.

I wanted to thank you for bringing me

in for another interview, Mr. Ward.

I almost didn't.

You, you didn't?

I have some concerns.

Concerns?

Yes.

Number one being that you are very over-qualified

for this position, Ms. Bishop.

Also with, what, your legacy, your father's prestigious firm,

it makes no sense to me why you'd want to start elsewhere.

Yes, I know that.

But I wanted to do something on my own.

Commendable.

And everything that I learned during my time

at my father's agency, I can apply here.

You'd be lucky to have someone with my experience

in an entry level position.

I don't disagree.

But I just want to make sure you understand

what you're getting yourself into

should we bring you into the fold.

I do.

You start at the bottom of the totem pole position,

possibly taking marching orders from someone

with less experience than you currently have.

Understood.

You'd also be working crazy hours for very little pay,

with no chance of advancement for at least a year.

Also understood.

You won't scare me away, Mr. Ward.

I know I'm what Rollins and Ward needs.

And I promise you I am prepared for everything you've mentioned,

and more.

This is my opportunity to spread my wings

and show what I'm capable of.

Well, Ms. Bishop.

You've convinced me to continue this interview.

Why don't you walk me through your PR strategy submissions,

and we'll see what happens from there.

Thank you.

I'm still not 100% sure why that's such a bad thing.

There's a bit of a mess at the office.

Anything I can help with?

Lindsay Rask again.

Apparently the tabloids are about to release

some unseemly photos onto the internet.

I mean, no matter how much damage control we do,

she's a ticking time bomb.

What if, what if there was another way?

I'm listening.

I mean stop the damaging photos of course, if you can,

but also solicit some good publicity,

something to compete for airtime with all the bad stuff.

Such as?

I know Lindsay donates a lot of money

to various animal shelters.

How do you know that?

She keeps her donation stuff pretty private.

I guess you could say I have friends in the right places.

Hmm.

Okay, and?

So, why not use that?

Get one of these bigger shelters to do some publicity.

You know, maybe on a local news station or something.

Show them that Lindsay's generosity is helping

all of these animals find their forever homes.

It'll be really hard for folks to focus on the bad publicity

when all of these furry, adorable faces

are all over the TV, and all over the internet,

and it would show Lindsay's awesome generosity.

That's interesting.

Very interesting.

[MIKE] I have to make a quick call.

Excuse me for a second.

Nice job.

Of course. She's brilliant.

get a higher position with them.

It was hard, but now look at him.

He's a hot shot consultant. [LAUGHS]

Seems to be doing well.

Well, he's a workaholic. Maybe now that he's met you,

that might change.

Um... Yeah. So, what do you do?

I'm a nurse at the Brantford Women's Clinic.

Oh, you must be busy yourself.

Right now I am, but unfortunately the clinic

is struggling to keep its doors open.

To be honest, I'm not sure how much longer

I'll have a job.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Thanks. We do a lot of good. It'll be tough to see it close.

There the guys are now.

Please don't mention the clinic's funding issues

to Aiden. He's got enough on his plate,

and he's already helped out the school.

I won't say a word.

Thank you.

He works so hard because he feels an obligation to...

Fix people?

You know him well too.

Hey!

[SAM] You two have fun?

He let you drive his car?

You weren't supposed to tell.

You let him drive?

It was an empty parking lot. It was completely safe.

He's twelve.

He's a damn good driver.

Maybe better than you.

Aiden.

Oh, look at the time. I got to get Molly home.

It was really nice to meet both of you.

You too.

Bye.

So, thank you again for all your help today.

I loved it. It actually really got me in a Christmasy mood.

I've been so focused on the cafe,

and the Rollins and Ward job that I haven't really

had a chance to enjoy any of the holiday activities.

Any big plans for tonight?

Probably stringing about two pounds of popcorn,

and throwing on an old black and white.

Stringing popcorn?

Yeah, for my Christmas tree.

Never heard of it.

Excuse me?

Why is this so shocking? Is this a tradition I should know about?

Well, it is in my family.

Or it was when my mom was still alive.

I still like to do it.

When did she pass?

A few years ago.

It was cancer.

It was mercifully fast, but my dad and I

No, but if you're working in your office on Christmas Eve,

Alright, he, he slept on my couch last night.

Shut. Up.

Well, we both did. I did. I don't know if he slept.

Okay, I definitely know that look.

What did he say?

He just invited me to dinner tonight.

At Angelo's.

Angelo's is almost impossible to get into this time of year.

So, should I say yes?

If you don't, I will.

[AIDEN] It's been some time since I've been.

Oh.

Thank you. Here, please.

Thank you.

Wow.

Thank you.

Thank you.

You look beautiful.

Thank you.

This place is really something.

How did you manage to get last minute reservations?

I've helped the owner with some image stuff in the past.

Hmm. You've built yourself quite a successful business.

Yes.

But I'm learning that work isn't everything.

Oh no.

What's wrong?

That's my dad.

How are you tonight?

Oh, if I was any better, I...

Is he dining alone?

It would seem so.

Mr. Bishop. Please, join us.

If I'm not intruding.

No, not at all.

Dad, this is my friend, Aiden Ford.

Nice to meet you, sir.

Well, it's always a pleasure to meet a friend of Molly's.

[MEL] [SIGHS] What are we drinking? Fred?

[FRED] Yes, Mr. Bishop.

Bring me my usual McAllen Single Malt 18,

and Le Cru de Chateau Pilient Montrachet for Molly.

Aiden, are you a whiskey man?

Uh, sometimes.

Alright, perfect. Make it two McAllen's.

Absolutely, Mr. Bishop.

I'm fine with just the house white.

[MEL] Oh, no, no, don't be silly, Molly.

That stuff is swill. Fred, bring her the good stuff.

Put it on my account.

[FRED] Right away.

You have quite an impressive firm, Mr. Bishop.

Oh, please, call me Mel.

And actually, all the credit goes to my wife.

She took care of this little one growing up,

and that allowed me to focus solely on work.

I was sorry to hear about her passing.

Thank you.

That's why I've been trying to get Molly

to make holiday plans so she wouldn't leave

her old man alone this year.

Didn't you go to Barbados with your secretary

last Christmas?

That was last year.

Hmm.

So, what do you do, Aiden?

I'm an image consultant.

Oh, you know what? I knew that name sounded familiar.

Don't you do some work for Rollins and Ward on and off?

[AIDEN] Yeah, yeah. I've known Mike a long time.

Ah.

Now it becomes very clear.

Dad, I didn't know that he worked with them

when I applied for the job.

Right.

Excuse me, please.

She'll be fine.

She always was a bit emotional.

She takes after her mother.

Let me take care of the valet since you wouldn't

let me have the bill.

My bill, and my pleasure, Aiden.

He seems like a nice guy.

Yeah, he is.

I wanted you to have this.

You've been carrying an envelope around with you for me?

No.

[AIDEN] Everything okay?

I'll look at it. If I get the chance.

That's all I ask.

It's been a pleasure, Aiden.

Same, Mel.

Let me guess, job offer.

I'm not actually considering it.

At all?

He wants me to run one of his offices in Buffalo.

He's said so many times.

But the fact that he would even suggest such a thing

shows how little he knows about me.

I like my life here.

So, you're not the least bit tempted?

No. But obviously you think I should be

'cause you guys got along famously.

Alright, drive safe. Buckle up.

Was I supposed to hate him?

I make a living schmoozing people like your father, Molly.

I'm sorry he became part of our date.

He was all alone.

This is exactly why I interfere with your love life.

What was I supposed to do? Let the man eat by himself

If you can say that, then you don't know me at all.
