Weatherman says

we're getting six to eight inches--

which means we can expect 12.

Anything else?

Uh...

just the check, please.

Thank you.

You in town for the holidays?

Oh, just passing through.

Will be,

once this storm lets up.

Mm-hmm.

Do you know where I might find a place to stay for the night?

Covington Creek Inn.

Just across the bridge.

Can't miss it.

You have yourself a Merry Christmas.

You, too.

Careful on those roads.

We still on for Dominoes tomorrow?

If you promise to go easy on me.

I'll think about it.

Any luck?

No, the lines are still down.

John is stuck in traffic,

and Bobby is home alone.

If the power goes,

he's gonna need help with the generator.

How much longer on your shift?

I'm here till 1:00.

I'll cover for you.

Head home.

No, Paul--

I still don't have the snow tires on my car.

It's probably best to give the plows a head start.

Thank you.

I will make it up to you.

It's fine.

Hey, are you, uh,

are you still looking for someone to cover your shift

over Christmas?

I thought you were going to your folks' for Christmas.

Well, we decided to stay and do something small here.

Amy said that you were talking about going home...

You know, between the two of us,

we could cover your whole week.

Are you talking about Christmas?

Yeah.

Let us do this for you, Paul.

You should go.

We've got incoming!

What have you got?

Pulled her from the river about 15 minutes ago.

- Let's go. - All right.

You know, she's lucky you found her when you did.

Any longer in that water,

and the outcome could have been very different.

She gonna be okay?

She's stable.

CAT scan revealed a minor concussion.

Were you able to locate her family?

She's not a local,

and we didn't recover any identification

at the scene,

but if she did have any,

it's probably long gone by now.

She's alone?

As of now,

but we'll sure do our best to rectify that.

Good night, Paul.

Mr. Bennett!

This is Carl Wagner with Venture Insurance

with a great offer this holiday season for you!

I'm calling with a--

Hey Paul! It's Ben.

I was just checking in

to see if there was any word on you getting some time off.

We'd love to have you down here for Christmas.

Hey, tell him. Tell him what I said.

All right, all right. I'll let him know.

Marissa wants me to tell you

that she's making your favorite apple pie.

With homemade ice cream!

I love you, Paulie!

[Ben, laughing] Okay, okay.

He's sufficiently bribed.

He's good.

Anyway, I hope to see you soon.

I miss you, little brother.

I know we have a lot to catch up on,

but it's not all bad news, I swear.

Look, we'll talk about it when you get here.

Well, the sheriff stopped by earlier.

He was hoping to talk to that young woman

they brought in last night,

but she's still not up.

Were they able to figure out who she is?

No, I guess we won't know until she tells us.

Good morning!

Let's get a little sunshine in here for you.

Everybody's very eager for you to wake up.

You see, everyone knows everyone in this town,

except no one seems to know you.

For now, you are quite the mystery.

Where am I?

Hey.

Where am I?

It's okay.

You're fine, you're safe.

You're in the hospital.

Hospital? What?

You took a little spill last night

into the river.

You've got a mild concussion,

a few bumps and bruises.

Yeah, it's...

going to be sore for a bit,

but Dr. Grant's gonna come in,

and he's gonna give you something for the pain, okay?

Now, what's your name?

Um...

I don't know.

I don't know.

Okay.

It's okay.

I remember waking up here

and talking to...

Paul.

...Paul,

but when I try to remember anything before, it...

there's nothing.

Okay.

Well, between the impact from your fall

and the time spent in the water,

normally, you'd be looking at acute trauma

to the temporal lobe,

which can result in retrograde amnesia.

Amnesia?

But...

I still remember things.

I can walk,

I can talk...

Yes, those are procedural and motor-related,

likely unaffected.

Our minds and our bodies do unique things

to protect us,

and to be honest,

your symptoms

are not even a textbook scenario.

This is a rare case.

It's quite possible

that you're going to recall all kinds of things

Just not who I am?

Well, do we know how long this lasts?

There's no set time frame for recovery.

The best thing you can do

is surround yourself with familiar things.

Okay, well, do we know how I got in the water?

Was there anybody with me?

The accident was reported by the motorist involved.

It was late,

you were attempting to cross the bridge alone.

The car turned into its skid,

and you fell over the guard rail,

trying to avoid it.

I'm afraid we're...

we're still trying to track down your family.

Okay, so is there anybody looking for me?

The storm made a mess of a lot of things out here.

There's power outages all over the state.

Phone lines were down.

Okay, and where is here?

Covington. Maine.

Listen, for now,

I think the best thing is for you to just rest up.

We'll let you know the minute we make contact.

She had a pin from the diner on her.

Oh, sure.

I served her last night.

Never did get a name, though.

Did she pay with a card?

Cash.

I'll be right back. I'll give you a minute.

Did she say anything about where she was going,

or coming from?

Just that she was looking for a spot

to ride out the storm for the night.

Oh, and, uh, she left this behind.

I hung onto it, in case she came back.

It seemed like it might be important.

Paul!

Any chance I can get a few minutes

with our Jane Doe.

Yeah, she's in room four.

Well, that's the thing, son.

She's not.

Give me a minute.

I like this game.

Doubles are always placed cross-ways

at the end of the chain...

- Okay. - Paul!

Pull up a chair, join us.

You are supposed to be in bed.

I was getting stir-crazy,

staring at the same four walls.

Can I put this here?

You don't want to do that...

Uh...

yes, you do want to do that.

Spoil sport.

Sheriff Crowley's here.

He needs to speak with you.

Do the police have new information?

I don't know, but just hang tight,

I'll grab a wheelchair, okay?

I don't need a wheelchair.

It's hospital policy.

Thank you for the game.

Come back any time.

Hey, whoa! Wait!

Are you coming?

Charleston, South Carolina.

That ring any bells?

No...

We think that might be where you were headed.

"Charleston Counts Down to Annual Tree Lighting."

You ducked into Maisie's Diner last night.

You had some cherry pie and a cup of coffee.

The waitress found that on the table after you left.

This is all?

Turn it over.

"Please come.

Mark."

Mark...

Anything?

That's all right.

We reached out to the sheriff's department

in Charleston.

They're checking in with the festival committee,

and see if they know who that might be.

In the meantime, you hold onto that.

If anything comes back to you,

just give me a shout.

Okay.

- All right? - Yeah.

I should get back to my rounds,

but is there anything I can get you before I go?

You know what?

I could go for some pie.

One slice of cherry,

one hot coffee,

straight from Maisie's Diner.

Think it will help?

Well, Dr. Grant says

I need to surround myself with familiar things,

so...

Mm!

Nope.

I don't know why anyone would drink that.

Okay, hold on.

Because I...

got you covered.

I'll try this.

Okay.

Better.

- Yeah? - Mm-hmm.

Okay. Let's see if that pie rings any bells.

Needs ice cream.

I checked with Eleanor.

You had it plain.

No bells.

Hmm.

It was a good thought.

I just realized,

I'm not sure what I should call you.

Well, Dr. Grant has decided on Jane,

so...

Okay.

What's your story?

You want to talk about me?

We could talk about me,

but that would be a very short conversation.

So, where did you grow up?

Did you grow up around here?

I'm from Georgia.

A little town called Pickering.

Do you have family there?

Some.

Are you going home for Christmas?

I was thinking about heading down there.

You're undecided.

It's complicated.

Well, hey,

now that Sheriff Crowley has his first real clue,

you know, it's only a matter of time

till somebody walks through that door

and claims me.

Right?

Right.

I'm gonna see

if I can find you some ice cream for that pie, okay?

Thank you.

And they really don't have any leads?

No, they can't find anyone who knows her.

Poor girl.

All right,

I think that's enough.

There might be more snowflakes in here

than there are outside.

Thanks for your help.

Yeah, of course.

Merry Christmas!

I told you I'd be home for Christmas.

Dr. Grant says

most people get their memories back.

Which means some don't.

Recovery is a long process,

but you're gonna get there.

I've been here almost a week.

The phone lines are back up.

Sheriff Crowley has shown my picture

to half the town.

I don't think anybody is looking for me.

Well, maybe they want to be here, but...

they just can't be.

Why not?

Things come up.

People get stuck.

Sometimes, it's not as easy as it should be

to get to the places that we're needed.

Have you decided yet?

If you're going home?

Yeah, I, uh...

I actually waited too long to decide,

so all the flights are booked.

Maybe next year.

I think you should.

You should go.

I know you said it's complicated,

but no reason

both of us should be alone on Christmas.

Let's get out of here.

Hey.

I thought your shift ended a while ago.

It did,

but I just had to do something before I left.

About Christmas.

Does your offer to cover my shift

still stand?

Of course.

Okay, great. Thanks.

Yeah.

Hey.

I thought you'd be on the road by now.

The car's all packed.

I just, I wanted to drop this off.

It's a little thank you for covering my shifts.

Aw, well, I am happy to do it.

I'm glad you're going home, Paul.

It will be good for you,

to get to see them, and...

Anyway.

You have a safe trip.

You need anything at all, you let us know.

I will. Thank you.

- Merry Christmas. - Merry Christmas.

Please, just reconsider.

At least until we can find someone to help you.

You can't keep me here.

- I have to do this. - What's going on?

They told me you left.

I was just about to.

Where are you going?

Nowhere.

I can't just sit here

and wait for somebody to find me.

I've tried that, and it's not working.

Releasing you in your current condition

is not in your best interest.

Before I fell in that water,

I was on my way to the tree-lighting ceremony.

I will find my answers there.

I know I will,

and you were the one that told me

I need to surround myself with familiar things.

I can't do that here.

Christmas Eve is in two days.

I can't wait any longer.

How do you expect to get there?

South Carolina is a long way.

I will pawn my watch,

buy a plane ticket.

They will never let you on the flight.

You don't have I.D.

I will find a way.

That is where I was going.

and that is where I will go.

I could take her.

It's on my way.

You'd really do that?

You need to get home.

So do I.

All right, follow me.

We'll get your paperwork started.

Are you sure about this, son?

Okay, this has three hours on it,

but you can always add more.

I put the station's number in there

as one of your contacts,

so you can stay up to date on things going on back here.

Now, listen,

if you get to the tree lighting,

and you don't find what you're looking for,

the second contact in there

is Sheriff Connie Hargrove from Charleston.

She'll be expecting your call.

I really appreciate this.

My pleasure.

Now, is there anything else you need?

Clothing, or...

No, no, we've got that covered.

We ran over to the store.

Bertie took a peek at your tags.

Should be the right sizes.

Yup.

What?

Oh, and a little pocket money,

to get you where you're going.

We took up a collection.

Um...

Thank you, guys

Thank you, that's, um...

Merry Christmas.

Thank you!

Merry Christmas.

Wow!

I need to make a few adjustments to our route

if we're gonna make it to that tree lighting

on the 24th.

I was able to get another room at the B&B tonight,

but still nothing for tomorrow.

Everything's all booked up.

Thank you for doing this.

It'll be fun!

Be nice to have a co-pilot.

Someone to read the map, in case I get lost.

Do you plan on getting lost?

No one plans on getting lost.

Hey, thanks for that tree.

I know it was you.

Might have been Santa.

This is me.

I know that she doesn't look like much,

but she'll get us where we need to be.

Hey, I promise I'll pay you back.

I'm gonna pay everybody back.

You know, once we get to Charleston,

and I find my life again.

I know.

What's in Covington?

What do you mean?

Like, what are you guys known for?

Ah.

Well, we are 20 minutes from the Canadian border.

Population under 5,000.

Okay.

So if I was going to South Carolina for Christmas,

what was I doing all the way up here?

Maybe you were on a work trip.

In the middle of nowhere?

Covington isn't nowhere.

Hmm.

It's just north of nowhere.

Mm-hmm.

Any idea how you're going to find Mark?

When you get there?

I'm hoping he'll find me.

Who do you think he is?

Relative?

A friend?

A husband.

It never occurred to you that you might be married?

Well, I don't have a ring.

It could have fallen off in the water.

Glove compartment.

Ben?

Who's Ben?

My brother.

Oh, you have a brother?

Is he older or younger?

He's older.

Is that who you're spending Christmas with?

I missed last Christmas.

I couldn't miss another one.

Here.

Thank you.

Trade you an onion ring for a french fry?

Yes, please.

Okay.

I'd much rather try these.

Hello, hello!

I'm Barbara.

We spoke on the phone.

Sorry for the late check-in.

Oh, sometimes it takes us longer

to get where we're going--

especially round the holidays.

Um, first door and second door at the top of the stairs.

Great. Thank you.

Have a good evening.

Good night.

Uh, come in.

Hey.

If it's okay,

I'd like to be on the road by 8:00 in the morning.

Yeah, of course.

"Beyond Tomorrow"?

Oh, yeah. I just turned it on.

Have you seen it?

I used to watch this with my parents.

Yes, well, I'm broad enough now.

Is that your laugh?

No.

It is.

- No, it's not-- - There's no use denying it.

We both heard it, that was it.

This does not leave this room.

It's okay.

Oh, there it is again.

I like it. It's a good laugh.

Hey, do you want to watch this with me?

Yeah.

...or you get sick or something,

don't forget we're friends.

You'll let me know if you need me, won't you?

How can she just leave him?

I mean, after all they've been through?

I guess she thinks it will make him happy.

It's getting late.

You should get some rest.

I'm not tired.

Yeah, my mistake...

Good night, Jane.

Good night, Paul.

Yeah, my flight gets in at 4:00.

I'm excited to see you, too.

I have some news.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Thanks.

Wow, this looks great.

Is everything all right?

Fine.

I think I remembered something.

What was it?

I'm not sure.

It was a phone call.

I don't know, it went really fast,

and it was hard to understand.

It's a good thing, right?

It means your memory is starting to come back.

Yeah, I mean,

I was thinking it would come back at once,

not in small, little, confusing pieces.

Well, enough little pieces come back,

eventually, you'll have the bigger picture.

Good morning.

Morning.

I hope you slept well.

Great, thank you.

When you've finished,

you're welcome to help decorate the tree.

Thank you for the invitation,

but we've got a really big day ahead of us on the road.

Of course, I understand.

Um, well, when you're all ready,

I'll get you all checked out.

We can't let her decorate that whole Christmas tree

by herself.

We don't have time.

Maybe one of the other guests will help her.

Um...

There's no other guests.

Okay.

So, someone's waiting for you at this tree lighting?

That's the hope.

And you really don't remember anything?

No.

Oh...

Did you make this?

No, that's...

my late husband Martin's handiwork.

He carved a new one every Christmas.

You're not going to put it on the tree?

No, it was a tradition we shared.

It doesn't feel right to do it without him.

Now, um...

would you care to do the honors?

Me?

You're the tallest one,

and I don't have a step stool.

Sure.

Aw...

Do you always make your own bows?

I had Martin pick out the ribbons.

For the first 20 years of our marriage,

I couldn't talk him into anything besides plain red.

"Nothing wrong with the classics,"

he used to say

Perhaps what you're going through

is a blessing.

You've got a clean slate.

There's no melancholy memories to dwell on.

No regrets.

No happy memories, either.

So we're gonna have to skip our lunch stop

if we want to make it to Lexington by 8:00.

It was worth it, though, wasn't it?

Yeah, it was.

Oh, good!

I didn't miss you.

Just a little something for you.

I thought it might help

to write down what you know about yourself.

Keep it all sorted out.

The North Star

has guided many a weary traveler home again.

Thank you.

You stay strong.

You keep your chin up.

God gives the strongest soldiers

the toughest battles.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

Nellie, I know you.

There's no way anyone gets out of your booth

without giving up their life story.

Not this one.

She was real quiet.

Honestly, she seemed a little blue.

You told my deputy that she had a purse

and a suitcase.

Mm-hmm, that's right.

But you can't describe either of them?

The suitcase was...

purple,

and it had letters on it.

Letters? What do you mean?

A monogram?

An "R" maybe, or a "B"?

All right, well, we have a purple suitcase,

and a monogram.

Anything else, Sheriff?

Yeah, how about some of that famous homemade pie?

Now, you know as well as I do

that river stretches for miles.

That bag might be halfway to the Piscataqua by now.

Yeah, it could be.

Now, how about that pie?

You got it, Sheriff.

Any news from Sheriff Crowley?

Um, he said that they put out an alert

on the suitcases I was carrying,

and one had a monogram.

Then you must have someone in your life.

What?

No one buys themselves monogrammed luggage.

Hmm.

What are these?

Ah, okay,

you are about to make a very important self-discovery.

Are you an eggnog kind of person,

or hot cocoa?

Well, what are you?

I don't want to unduly influence your selection.

Okay.

That.

- Yeah? - Mm-hmm.

- You sure? - Mm-hmm.

Okay.

So?

- It's good. - Good.

- It's good. - Yeah?

Yeah.

So you're really not going to tell me

which one you prefer?

No.

That's not fair.

Can't let you hog all the mystery.

You want the cocoa, don't you?

- Uh-huh. - Yeah.

Oh, the guy at the counter

gave me a lead on a hotel for the night,

and I already looked it up.

Hi.

Yeah, I would like to book two rooms

for this evening.

I know it's almost Christmas,

but your website listed a vacancy?

I understand.

Merry Christmas to you, too.

Well, this might be more difficult than I thought.

We could sleep in the car.

We're not going to sleep in the car.

Well, then, what are we going to do?

I have some family nearby.

Just outside of Charlottesville,

maybe an hour.

- Really? - Yeah,

my cousin, Jack, and his wife, Katie.

Do you think that they'd let us spend the night?

Unless you'd rather we didn't?

No, I'll make the call.

Okay.

Merry Christmas!

Come in, come in.

Thank you so much for having us.

I know it was last minute...

Oh, are you kidding me?

We're happy to have you!

Uh, sweetheart? Paul's here!

Katie made up the couch in the den.

I could take the couch.

You've done so much for me already.

It's probably better for my back, anyway.

Paul...

Merry Christmas!

We've missed you!

This is my friend, Jane.

You have such a lovely home.

Oh, thank you.

It's so nice to meet you.

Come with me,

I'll show you to your room.

Oh, thank you.

I'm glad you're here.

It's been too long.

Um...

I want you to know,

we all understood why you did what you did.

I know you think you have to carry this alone--

Paul!

Hey, bud!

How are you?

He's only asked when you were getting here

every 15 minutes.

I got a new sled!

Do you wanna see?

Yeah.

Why don't you help Paul with his bags first?

Okay.

You got it?

So how do you and Paul know each other?

We met at the hospital.

I thought you two were...?

Well, I thought the two of you...

Oh, no! No.

Uh, we're just, um...

We're friends.

Oh.

Yeah.

When are you due?

Three more months.

Can't come soon enough.

I am ready for this little guy to join us.

It's a boy?

We thought about keeping it a surprise,

but that lasted until my third sonogram.

Hey, are you sure I can't help?

No, I am almost finished.

Uh, hand me that can of cream of mushroom soup?

Thank you.

All right, everyone, dig in!

I know what I'm starting with.

These scalloped potatoes look amazing.

Well, Jane helped.

I just handed you the can.

So how's the little guy?

He's finally asleep.

Oh, good.

This pie is out of this world,

and, apparently, I know my pies.

Jack's a chef.

Really?

I work downtown at a hotel off the square.

Have you ever considered

opening up a restaurant or something?

As a matter of fact, he found the perfect location.

We have a baby on the way.

The restaurant can wait.

He said the same thing when Charlie was born.

It wasn't the right time.

You know, you never know what life will bring,

so why save dreams for tomorrow

when there is a perfectly good today?

Right?

Right.

So...

have you settled on any names?

We were thinking about, um... Ben.

Oh.

Like your brother?

Yeah...

Well, I'm sure that he's very flattered.

Have you told him yet?

Ben passed away last January.

Just, uh...

excuse me for a second.

Uh, I'd better go see if he's all right.

Just...

give him a minute.

Why didn't you say anything?

You've got your own problems.

You don't need to listen to mine.

I'd like to.

I wasn't there.

I was supposed to visit last Christmas.

I spent every Christmas with Ben and his wife,

but I couldn't get work off.

At least that's what I told them.

That's what I told myself.

Truth is,

it was really hard to see him that way.

You know, sick.

I see that kind of thing every day at work,

but...

it's different...

when it's someone you love.

You know, he was doing good.

He was doing really, really good,

fighting the cancer.

It was just that one Christmas.

You know, I just told myself I needed more time...

I thought I had more time.

You know, I've never told anyone that before.

I'm so sorry.

I have the gift that I bought him last year,

and I'm bringing it to him,

to say goodbye.

Couldn't sleep?

Did you remember something?

Oh, no, this, um...

I'm writing a story.

A story?

Yeah.

I can't remember anything about my own life,

but I just keep having all these thoughts

springing up.

I needed to put them somewhere, so...

After I started, I just couldn't stop.

Can I read it?

Uh, maybe-- No.

Maybe when it's done, but no.

How about you?

I just needed a glass of water.

Is that it?

I guess not.

Would it help to talk about him?

What was he like?

He was great.

Smart, kind.

Really outdoorsy.

Loved fishing.

In fact,

I think I have...

Yeah, there.

We rented a cabin on a lake a few years back.

Oh, my gosh, how big is that fish?

It's not that big,

but it was bigger than anything I'd caught,

and he definitely didn't let me forget about that.

Oh, this is at the graduation from my nursing school.

Seems like he was really proud of you.

Yeah.

I guess so.

I haven't looked at these in a long time.

Do you have more?

Yeah. Sure.

Hey, Paul.

Hey.

About last night.

I didn't mean to upset you.

You know, I thought it would be easier,

to just push the memories of him away,

but...

...it was like losing him all over again.

I don't want to forget him.

Ben is a great name,

and he would be honored if you chose it.

Are you sure you can't stay a little longer?

No, we need to hit the road

if we're gonna make it to Charleston by 7:00.

Listen,

you should think about the restaurant,

like Jane said.

Don't wait.

All right, I should head up there,

see if she's ready.

Oh, you won't find her there.

She's playing with Charlie in the backyard.

Whoa!

You!

Hey, come on! Come on!

Okay.

Oh...

you gave up our position.

We don't have much time.

What?

On the count of three, I go right, you go left.

You with me?

Yeah, I'm with you.

Okay.

One, two, three,

go!

Get him, get him, get him!

Yay!

You give us a call when you're all settled in.

Will do.

It was real nice to meet you.

Don't be a stranger.

I won't.

Sorry, I'm not as fast as I used to be.

- Merry Christmas, Paul. - Merry Christmas.

It's been so nice to see you like this.

Happy.

I thought you could use this.

Oh, my gosh, thank you.

It's all good.

Thank you, thank you so much for having us.

Any time.

Okay, well, merry Christmas.

Thanks so much.

- Merry Christmas. - Merry Christmas.

Can I take that for you?

- Sure. - Great.

Hey, do you want me to drive?

You don't have a license.

Well, it's not fair

that you need to drive the entire way.

Well, it might not be fair, but it's legal.

You can barely keep your eyes open.

My eyes are fine.

I'm gonna take these, thank you so much.

Wait, wait, wait.

Please don't do this.

Jane...

You okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Uh...

You know what, you're right.

You should drive.

You have quite the arm.

I wonder if you used to play baseball.

We need gas.

We should probably stop up here.

Grab lunch?

We're making great time.

Yeah, it's not that.

It's just...

I remember something else.

What was it?

I was in a house,

and there was a man there,

and I was leaving.

It felt like we got in a fight?

Who was he to you?

I don't know.

Do you think it's the same person

from the letters?

Mark?

Maybe.

He just, he looked hurt.

It looked like I hurt him, or something.

I don't know, I just, I never...

I've been so desperate to fill these blanks,

you know, I haven't stopped to consider

that maybe I might not like what I find.

You know, maybe my subconscious

is trying to hide something from me.

Like...

what if I'm just a terrible person?

You're not a terrible person.

Well, how do you know that?

Because I know you.

I don't even know me.

You don't see it, do you?

The effect that you have on people.

You...

you've got this light in you.

It's obvious to anyone

who spends five minutes with you.

You may have made some mistakes in the past--

we all have--

but it doesn't define who you are in the future.

You know, mistakes can be forgiven.

Are you working on your story?

Yeah.

Trying to figure out the ending.

I hope it's a happy one.

Me too.

Stonestreet Inn.

Confirming my reservation.

Stonestreet Inn?

Yeah, it's the nicest hotel in Pickering.

To be fair,

it's the only hotel in Pickering,

but it's still very nice.

Well, I thought that you'd be staying with family.

My parents passed a few years ago.

Well, what about your sister-in-law?

We haven't spoken.

Why not?

It's like I said,

I wasn't there for Ben.

Marissa was furious.

I don't blame her.

Well, so you're going all the way home

and you're not going to see anyone?

I'm going to see my brother.

You just told me

that mistakes can be forgiven.

Some can.

This one can't.

I'll get this.

Traffic looks good.

We should hit Charleston by 6:00.

Close your eyes.

Close your eyes.

Hold out your hands.

Open them.

What's this for?

A gift.

Try it on.

Come on!

Come on.

How do I look?

Something to remember me by.

Come on.

Let's head back to the car.

You ready?

Ready.

Don't worry,

it does this sometimes.

You just gotta--

Well, could be a few things.

Best-case scenario, it's a shot battery.

Worst-case scenario?

If it's the alternator,

you need to leave it here for a day or two,

while we hunt down the part.

Oh, no, we don't have a day or two.

We cannot get stuck here.

Is there anything that you can do?

I was just about to lock up when I got the call.

It's Christmas Eve.

I know it's a lot to ask,

but it would really mean a lot to us

if you could help us out.

Please.

All right.

Tell you what,

leave your number on the pad.

Give me an hour.

I can't promise anything,

but I'll do the best I can.

Right. Thank you so much.

Yup.

We don't have time for this.

The mechanic said it would be an hour.

We'll be back on the road by 4:30.

We'll be cutting it close, but we'll get there.

Yeah, that's if he can fix it.

The tree lighting ends at 8:00.

What if anybody who knows me is gone before I can get there?

Then I'm back to where I started.

What...

What am I going to do?

- Oh, hey! - Hi! Hi!

Hi, buddy.

Where did you come from?

Do you see his owner?

Uh...

no.

Are you lost?

Yeah, I know the feeling.

Check his collar,

see if his address is on there.

Okay.

No, wait, stop!

No!

Wait!

Wait!

The plow guy found this

while he was salting the back roads.

Recognized it from the description we put out.

We have a few articles of clothing in here.

We've got a t-shirt,

a pair of jeans.

See what you can pull off of that.

It's been in the river for a few days.

Yeah, well, it's worth a shot.

Huh.

What do you make of that?

I don't know,

maybe she's got a little one at home.

Should we call our Jane Doe?

No.

No, let's see what we get off the laptop first.

Okay.

There's no car in the driveway.

It's Christmas.

They might be away.

Sorry!

Can I help you?

Oh!

Oh, sweetheart!

We were so worried about you.

He slipped through the fence last night.

My son's been looking for him all morning.

Where did you find him?

Outside the church.

Just happened to be at the right place

at the right time, I guess.

I stopped believing in coincidences

a long time ago,

especially at Christmas.

I can't thank you both enough.

We're just happy that he's home.

Do you mind just waiting here for one second?

Just hang on.

These are Winter family Christmas croissants.

We make them at my bakery,

but they are my husband's favorites.

Aw, thank you.

Seriously, thank you both so much.

Merry Christmas.

- Merry Christmas. - Oh, merry Christmas.

Aw...

Well, we should get back to the garage.

Mm-hmm.

Hey, if the car isn't fixed,

we'll get a train,

or a cab.

Something.

We'll figure it out.

I won't leave you until you're where you belong.

I promise.

Thank you.

Here, why don't you take those?

Hello!

Merry Christmas, Rebecca!

Merry Christmas, Mark!

Jane?

Rebecca!

Who's Rebecca?

I'm Rebecca!

I have a name, and it's Rebecca!

Rebecca! That's a good name, right?

That is a great name. It's a great name!

Rebecca who?

I don't know. I don't even care!

Rebecca, I--

Hour's up.

We should get back.

Yeah.

Hello?

Just give me a sec, guys.

Let's hope for the best.

We're due for some good news.

It's Mark.

Who?

The man in my memories.

Are you sure?

I'm sure.

Well, he must be pretty important then,

if you keep remembering him.

Yeah.

That's a good thing, right?

Because he'll be waiting for you there,

and...

you'll get your answers.

Right.

Um...

Sheriff Crowley's calling.

Hello?

You did?

Uh-huh.

No.

Merry Christmas to you, too.

They find anything?

My suitcase.

Was there anything useful inside?

Um...

Yeah, my laptop,

which they can't get on.

Um...

some clothes...

A sweater?

A little girl's sweater.

Could I be a mom?

How could someone...

How could I forget something like that?

A child-- my own child?

Good news!

You're all set.

Replaced the battery.

The battery? That's all it was?

You two got yourselves a Christmas miracle.

Let's get you home.

I think you should call her.

Who?

Marissa.

It's hard enough as it is just making the trip.

I...

I don't think I can face her.

I think you should try.

Why is it so important to you?

In less than an hour,

I'm going to find out

what's waiting for me in Charleston...

...but even if I get my answers...

...I'm not sure I'll be okay

unless I know you're okay, too.

♪...O night divine ♪

Wait, wait, your bag!

Okay, I'm going to park the car,

and then I'll meet you inside.

Okay, uh, I'll be at the tree.

Okay.

- See you there. - Yeah.

Rebecca?

You made it!

Oh...

I'm so glad you're here.

I was worried you wouldn't come.

You're here! I missed you!

We really missed you.

Mark?

Yes?

Why are you looking at me like that?

Dad, can I go hang out with Ava?

- Sure, but stay close. - Okay.

I'll see you later.

I, uh...

I don't know who you are.

What do you mean, you don't know who I am?

I mean, I thought that when I saw your face,

it would all just come back to me,

but I...

I still don't--

Rebecca, what's going on?

Rebecca?

It is you.

I cannot believe it.

You have some nerve coming here.

?

You should be.

Mom and Dad have been trying to reach you for days.

They are beside themselves with worry.

Annie, I'm sure that she has a very good explanation.

Yeah, well, she can't answer her phone?

Are you ignoring their calls, too?

Sweetheart...

Did you know about this?

Yes, but--

And you didn't tell me?

Mark...

Hello!

Rebecca, Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas, Mark!

Where's Annie and--

There you are!

Just in time for dinner!

Come here!

Oh, it's so good to see you.

Oh, you look great.

Oh, my gosh, you look great...

Mark!

Would you have let me if I had?

I remember!

What?

Oh, my gosh, I remember, just like they said I would!

You're Annie!

You're my sister!

Okay, what is going on here?

I don't know,

she's been acting very strangely since she got here.

Oh, my gosh.

Oh, my gosh, I have made a horrible mistake.

I...

Uh...

What?

Paul?

Paul!

Paul!

This turkey is amazing,

but I am totally stuffed.

You did good.

How's everything at your office?

Well...

I've been waiting to have you all together

to tell you--

You got the promotion.

I knew it.

No, actually,

I have decided to pursue my writing full-time.

You know, I've got three short stories published

this year,

and it's just--

it's time to make the leap.

Well,

that sounds very...

exciting.

What are you going to do about money?

Insurance?

Have you thought of any of these things?

Of course, I have.

I've saved up enough

to get me through the next six months.

And then?

And then I will reassess, Annie.

Come on, Peanut, time for bed.

You can't just drop all of your responsibilities

to chase some silly, little dream.

I mean, what are you going to do

about the nursing home?

You agreed to pay for half the price.

You know that mom and dad cannot handle it on their own.

I said I would and I will.

- How? - I will figure it out.

You could not wait till after Christmas?

You had to do this now?

I should have known

that you were gonna react like this.

- What-- - You've never trusted me

- to make my own decisions! - Well, how can I,

when you go and do something like this?

For once in my life

I would like to feel like you believed in me.

Oh, grow up.

Oh, my gosh.

I shouldn't have come.

This was a mistake.

I am trying to help you.

Yeah, well, maybe I'd be better without it.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Please don't do this.

Merry Christmas, Mark.

Just give her time.

I'm guessing Annie didn't think I'd come.

I don't think she thought it was a possibility.

Look, I love you, and I love my wife,

but you both can be incredibly stubborn sometimes.

Last Christmas,

you two said some things you probably wish you hadn't.

So you invited me here

without telling her,

or without telling me I wasn't welcome?

I knew deep down,

that neither of you wanted

to spend another Christmas apart.

What do I say to her?

Say what you feel.

This is your chance.

What if she doesn't forgive me?

She will.

Someone just needs to make the first move.

Retrograde amnesia.

Amnesia?

Well, are you hurt?

What did the doctors say?

Oh, bumps and bruises, honestly.

I cannot believe this.

You spent the whole last week alone?

No, not alone.

I'm glad you're okay.

I need to go and check on Casey.

Of course.

Here, let me help you with those.

Okay.

Thanks, Mark.

Yeah, of course.

Hi.

It's Paul.

How's Maine?

Snowy.

So I've heard.

Sugar?

No, thank you.

Well, it was good to hear from you, Paul.

It's been a while.

Sorry.

I understand.

I'm sure the hospital keeps you very busy.

That's not what I meant.

I'm...

I'm really sorry that I wasn't here for you

when you needed me.

Or when Ben needed me.

He understood how hard it was for you to see him like that.

But I'm a nurse,

and...

I see that stuff every day,

and I couldn't even...

Ben wanted to keep the worst of it from you.

He was always trying to protect you.

He was...

so, so proud of you, Paul,

and he loved you very much.

He never blamed you,

and neither did I.

I miss him.

I know.

Me too.

I didn't even say goodbye.

There's so many things that I wanted to tell him,

that I needed to tell him.

So tell him.

He'll be listening.

I shouldn't have left that night...

...and I never should have waited an entire year

to apologize.

I do have a confession to make, though.

I'm not supposed to be here.

I wasn't planning on coming.

I rented a cabin up in Maine.

I was planning on spending Christmas there,

working alone.

Then the storm hit,

the accident happened,

and I never made it there.

Mark had sent me that invitation,

and I chose to ignore it,

but when I couldn't remember who I was,

I looked at the clipping,

and I thought that...

That you were headed here.

The only thing that mattered to me

was finding out who I was,

and who I belonged to.

What's this?

It's a gift from a friend.

Open it.

They're stories that I wrote along the way.

Annie, even when I had nothing left,

even when I didn't know who I was,

I had this.

This is who I am...

...and I know that you think that it's just some silly dream,

but it's my dream.

It's not a silly dream.

But I worry about you, Rebecca.

I'm your sister.

It's my job.

I don't want to fight anymore.

I don't want another year to go by

where we're not talking, okay?

I miss you.

I missed you, too.

Is that cherry pie?

Yup.

That's...

That's for the, uh,

the party tomorrow.

Well, I don't think anyone would miss a piece.

I'm really glad you came.

Me too.

Okay, because it's Christmas Eve,

your mom and I decided you can open one present.

But only one.

Okay.

Ooh...

Rectangular.

There's all of the colors...

There's, like...

Okay...

"Jane,

if you're reading this,

it means that you've finally reached your destination.

I hope the life waiting for you

is worthy of the amazing person that you are.

I wanted to thank you

for making a hard trip

one of the highlights of my life.

I'm not sure I could have done it without you.

Have a very Merry Christmas.

I hope you get everything that you want.

Paul."

Sorry it took so long to get here.

You know, sometimes, it's easy to get lost

along the way.

I miss you.

You know, after you died,

all I could think about

was all the times

that I could have just gotten in my car,

come see you,

that I could have picked up the phone to call you...

...till it just became easier not to think about you at all.

I don't want that, Ben.

I want to remember yesterday

and bring you with me tomorrow.

You know, no regrets.

We don't know how long we get,

you know?

But as long as there's a tomorrow...

it's worth seeing what's going to happen.

That's what I'm going to do.

So...

Merry Christmas, Ben.

I love you.

You were right.

This is the only hotel in this entire town.

What are you doing here?

You left before I got a chance to say goodbye.

Oh.

So you're here to say goodbye?

No.

I am here to invite you to our Christmas party.

It's nothing wild,

just friends and family.

Your memories?

I got 'em back.

Just like Dr. Grant said I would.

That's great.

Yeah, my, um...

my sister was there,

waiting for me at the tree-lighting ceremony,

my brother-in-law, Mark.

Brother-in-law?

Brother-in-law.

Brother-in-law...

And my niece.

You know, I had to explain to her

why the sweater I bought her was still up in Maine

in a very soggy suitcase,

'cause I hadn't had a chance yet to mail it.

Everything I wanted was waiting for me.

Family.

Forgiveness.

I thought I'd be happy.

I am. I am happy,

but...

...there's still something missing.

When I finally made it home,

and got to see a lifetime full of memories,

I...

...I realized that...

I've never quite met anyone like you.

Well, I have definitely never met anyone like you.

You said

you hoped I got what I wanted for Christmas.

This is it.

It's you.
