All right, we're on
the last round,

so guess I'll be heading to
the party in a few minutes.

Food is out?

Good.

The dessert table's done?

No snacking.

Bartenders are set?

Thank you.

Tell the staff to take
their places.

The first few minutes are going
to be a madhouse.

Even all this Christmas cheer

won't slow down
the hungry masses...

Then the caterer needs
to get more ice.

We planned the party,

he's in charge of keeping
the drinks cold.

Great job everyone,
really fantastic.

Well done, Rachel.

Another successful event
under your belt.

Uh, your belt.

This is Gail Lane Events.

I just execute them for you.

Well, my name may be
on the door,

but we're a team, Rachel.

You had the vision
for this evening

and it was a smashing success.

June is pleased.

So am I.

I am so glad to hear that.

And I appreciate
your faith in me, Gail.

Especially letting me run point
on these high-profile ones.

Listen, so I have a binder
full of plans,

and I am ready to hit
the ground running

on the ambassador's
engagement party.

Tomorrow morning,
if you want.

Yeah.

About that.

Come with me.

It seems the ambassador
and his future wife

are having issues,

they've decided
to call it off.

The party, not the engagement.

Yet.

Now you can relax and enjoy
the rest of the holiday.

All our other parties
are covered.

Oh, Rachel.

Please don't be disappointed.

You're going to be running this
company someday, you know.

Really?

Really.

You're the best on my staff.

You've earned this break,
so take some time,

recharge your batteries,
we've got a busy year.

Come January, you'll have
many more chances

for you to shine
like you did tonight.

Thank you, Gail.

Now, I'm gonna make sure
the caterers have enough ice.

Oh, fabulous.

You're awake?

Adelaide said you'd been asleep
for an hour.

I was faking.

I wanted to wait up for you.

Honey, it's so late.

I know.

But I like to see you
when you get home from work.

Can we do an Adventures
of Ava?

A quick one.

Okay then.

Let's do a quick one.

Okay.

All right.

Now, where does Ava
want to go today?

Hmm.

A candy land.

Oh.

I think I'm going to like
this one.

...It was time for another
adventure,

and Ava was hungry
for peppermint,

her very favourite.

So, she closed her eyes and
she said the secret password.

Adventure time.

She found herself on a magical
candy cane lane.

I mean, she didn't say when,

but she did say that I'd be
running the company someday.

Yeah, I have no doubt.

I mean, word is getting out
about you, Rache.

What are you talking about?

This is actually a work dinner.

I'm here to convince you and Ava

to come back to Tennessee
for Christmas.

So, my mother sent you.

No, Dolly did.

Right.

Yeah, sure.

Because Dolly Parton
absolutely knows that I exist.

This must be her now.

She calls me every day.

I'm being serious.

What are you talking about?

This year is the 30th
anniversary

of Smoky Mountain Christmas
at Dollywood.

We throw a big event
on the 23rd,

and the planner fell out.

And you want Gail Lane?

I'm so sorry, Max.

She is so busy this time
of year,

she cannot take anything
else on.

She can't take anything
else on,

but you have suddenly found
yourself available.

It would still be under
the Gail Lane umbrella,

but I talked to the board
about you.

They want to meet with you ASAP,
and even better,

when is the last time you had
a real hometown Christmas?

Hmm, a while, actually.

And Ava never has.

My parents always
come out here,

because the holidays
are party season,

and Ava loves Christmas
in the city, so...

Well, she's going to love it
in Pigeon Forge even more.

I mean, what is more special
than Christmas in the Smokies?

In the house that
you grew up in?

With your family?

In the amusement park
where we raised havoc as kids?

And think of how good

this is going to make you look
in Gail's eyes.

A big brand as a new client?

Would I get to meet Dolly?

What do you think?

Okay, I'll take the meeting.

I mean, you know what?

You're right.

Gail would be thrilled.

See, it's a win-win
for everyone.

Thank you.

Christmas in Tennessee.

That does sound nice.

Cheers!

Cheers.

So Luke, do you think we should
dress the sign

or leave it as is?

I think we leave it as is.

Okay.

Well, we are having issues

with the LED Christmas tree
on Glacier Ridge.

No glitches, Eric.

I need it working on cue
every night.

It's the 30th anniversary.

Yeah.

And with me taking over
the celebration now,

I need them to see that
I can handle more than

just park operations.

I don't know why they don't

just make you general
manager right now.

Why are you even interviewing?

I mean, you've been working here
since what, 1912?

1996.

But close.

And I guess they need to do
their due diligence.

Vet all the candidates
and make sure

they're getting the right man
for the job.

I intend to convince them
that that's me.

Thank you.

Wow, this is amazing.

Even better than New York,
right?

Mm-hmm.

Dad?

Hey!

It's been a little while
since I used these, clearly.

Ginger, they're here!

Oh, finally.

Oh, we've been waiting all day
for you two.

I know we were delayed.

Oh!

Okay, this is 10 times more
decorations than you used to do.

You think I'm going
to mess around

when I finally get my
granddaughter here
at Christmas?

We are going to show Ava
all of our old traditions.

Yep, starting tonight.

Letters to Santa.

Ava, you can never write
too many letters to Santa.

Open house this Friday night.

Dad's doing open house again?

All traditions.

Mom made sweet potato pie
to welcome you home,

and for good luck for
your meeting tomorrow.

And you, first thing
in the morning,

we're picking out a tree.

Best.

Christmas.

Yet.

Let's get inside.

Plenty of time to enjoy
these decorations,

'cause you're finally here
for Christmas!

So good to have you home.

Dad.

You know, there are better photo
opportunities in the park.

I could get you a map.

Oh, I'm... I'm not
a park guest.

Although, I might have to hit
the Tennessee Tornado.

No, I'm... I'm...
I'm surveying.

Researching. Just...

You're a spy!

Taking top secret ideas
to the competitors, are we?

My cover is blown!

Look at me, out in the open.

What was I thinking?

I am really terrible
at subterfuge, aren't I?

I have seen better.

The... the anniversary party,

I assume that some of it
will happen in here?

It's the VIP area.

Whoever was planning this party
should know

that this layout is all wrong
in this context.

When a party is inside
and outside,

you want tall tables to keep
the flow going

so guests don't miss anything.

Is that right?

Yeah, and these...
these centrepieces,

I mean, they're pretty.

But they need more attention
to detail.

Maybe they're working
on them.

You still haven't said...

Oh, I gotta go.
I'm so sorry.

It was lovely talking with you,
have a great day.

Yeah, you too.

...Have a great day.

Eric!

Change of plans.

So you wait here,

and they'll come and get you
when they're ready.

And then I want you to come
straight to my office after.

You got this.

Thanks, Mags.

Bye.

It's a great picture of her,
isn't it?

If it isn't 007.

Hello again.

Hi.

She's incredible,
isn't she?

Yeah.

I've admired her
since I was a kid.

I used to come to the park
in high school

hoping to run into her.

As if Dolly Parton were just
wandering around the park,

riding roller coasters.

Actually, she does walk the park
from time to time.

You're here for the interview.

I am.

Well, that explains
the surveying.

I'm up for the job, too.

So, where do you come from?

A good spy never reveals
her secrets.

I wasn't going to tell you
anything either.

But a word of advice though,
the board in there,

they don't really do small talk.

I learned that the hard way.

Passion is great, but
business is business.

You sure say a lot
for someone

who wasn't going
to say anything.

See?

I should take my own advice.

How do I know you're not
telling me the exact opposite

of what I should do in there?

I guess you're just going to
have to trust your instincts.

I actually have
very good instincts.

You do know a lot about
tall tables for a spy,

that's for sure.

Luke?

They're ready for you.

You can come on back.

Good luck in there.

Right back atcha.

Rachel?

We're ready for you, too.

Didn't you just bring that
other guy back?

Oh, yes.

But he's going in for
a different position.

Park GM.

You're sitting down with
the head of hospitality first,

and then meeting
with the board.

Ah.

Ready?

Yeah.

And if you'll look at
my next slide,

you'll see my attendance
projections.

Eighteen percent increase

with this accelerated
marketing plan

for this next fiscal year.

Any questions?

So, well that's...
that's my presentation.

Um, I've made copies
for all of you to review.

On your own time.

It's optional.

Enlightening, and thorough.

Now, Carl.

About the anniversary party?

I'd like to take it over.

Because that's what a general
manager does.

Covers where there's a need.

And we know that I'm more
than up to this task.

You've given us a lot to think
about today, Luke.

Thank you.

Okay.

I'm glad it went well
with Audrey.

It did.

So, if you're ready, we can take
you in to meet the board.

Great.

Yeah.

Your turn.

Teed them up for you.

I guess it's on me
to hit it home.

We need to stop thinking
of this as a party

and start looking
at it as an event.

Large, exciting, epic.

And your brand is the key.

We embrace the elements that
keep your guests coming back.

The music, the warmth,
the community.

At Gail Lane events,
that's where we excel.

And we'd like to help you

ring in the next 30 years
with a bang.

Interesting.

Thank you, Rachel.

We'll be in touch.

Thank you.

Like this?

Looks like I got here
just in time.

How'd the interview go?

I don't know.

They were very hard
to read.

Yeah, it was, uh, it was like
looking around at a bunch of

poker faces, and I had a two
and a ten in my hand.

I'm sure you did fine.

So, we're making a bunch

of homemade ornaments,
huh?

-Mm-hmm.
-Mm-hmm.

When I was little,

every year, we would each make
a new ornament for the tree.

They even brought Daddy into
the tradition the first year

I brought him home
for Christmas.

I think Daddy would've liked
this one.

Candy canes were his favourite,
right?

Yes, sweetie.

And I think so, too.

Rachel Davis.

Okay.

Yes,00AM.

I'll see you then.

Thank you.

Hey. How about that?

They want me to come
back tomorrow

to meet with the board again.

Yay!

Second interview.

Yeah, sounds like it.

All right, let's do this.

Gotta make some decorations
for the tree.

Have you seen this place?

It is so boring.

No, it's not.

Where's the Christmas?

Hey.

Dad's gone all out for
this open house, huh?

It's been a lot of years.

I think he missed it almost
as much as he misses

having you here.

So, what did Gail say?

Well, she's thrilled.

I may have brought
in a big new client.

Well, this is ammunition for you
taking over the company one day.

Since she's grooming you
for that.

I know.

It's exciting.

Do you still enjoy it?

Of course.

I love it.

It's just that it's a very
demanding job,

and I want to make sure
I still have time for Ava.

Honey.

I know you love it.

Maybe you should start thinking
about something

that's a little more- 00-- 00,
with a lighter schedule.

You'd have more time
for Ava,

and the things you love.

Maybe you could start
writing again.

Mom.

This is what I do.

Okay.

This is what I excel at.

This is how I show my daughter

that no matter what life
throws at you,

you can make your own way.

Oh, she knows that, honey.

She may have been little,

but she watched you pick
yourself up after losing Greg.

That was so important
for her to see.

I just want you to be happy.

Working yourself to the bone
for Gail is just...

Mom, it's not that dramatic.

Okay.

I'm happy.

I'm going to go make sure
Ava's ready for bed.

Back again?

You must've impressed
them in there.

Oh, I did.

Yes.

No question.

How can you be
so sure?

I only saw poker faces
in there.

Well, it was either when
they stood up and clapped

or when they said I checked
all the boxes.

Wait, they actually
said that?

Multiple times.

And they clapped?

They don't clap.

But you believed me.

Hey, maybe I am good
at subterfuge.

Listen, the job,
you know it's not...

Rachel, Luke,
they're ready for you.

You can come on back..

Together?

Rachel, I'm sure you've already
bumped into Luke Hakman,

Director of Park Operations.

We think that Rachel's passion
and party planning experience

coupled with your familiarity
with our brand

make the perfect team to
spearhead the anniversary party,

since we're only
six days out,

Carl, it's already
well underway.

It's going great.

It's the 30th, Luke.

And we're talking about taking
something great

and really elevating it,
which is what Rachel excels at.

While you're good at executing
a plan.

I'm actually also very good
at executing a plan.

Wonderful.

Then you two sound like
a real win-win.

Win-win.

Win-win.

Welcome to Dollywood.

Where the only thing bigger
than our Christmas spirit

is our hair.

Well, your hair has tamed
considerably since high school.

Yours, too.

This is you.

So, the only question is,

when do I get to meet Dolly?

Oh, she's always so busy
performing and travelling,

we never know when
she's coming in or out.

But I promise you the second
I hear she's around,

you will be the first to know.

Thanks, Mags,
for everything.

It's my pleasure, I'm just
so glad you're home.

For the holidays.

Sure.

Whatever you say.

Good morning.

Good morning.

You knew we weren't up
for the same job.

Why didn't you tell me?

I got the feeling you were
trying to psych me out.

I was trying to help you.

Were you?

Looks like it worked.

If I actually took your advice.

Did you?

I'll never tell.

So.

What do you say we get started?

C'mon.

We've got a lot to do.

And the VIP tent,
which you've already seen.

Hmm.

Tall tables.

The old centrepieces are gone
too... interesting.

It was an executive decision.

It had very little to do
with you.

Well, it was the right
executive decision.

All right, I think we should set
the schedule

and create an action plan.

An action plan.

So nothing gets missed.

I happen to be very thorough.

Oh, I'm sure you are.

We need to go over
what's been done so far,

what holes need to be filled.

Carl has asked for ideas
and we need to step it up.

It's been 30 years.

Look, it's gonna be fine.

Luke, I want it to be more
than fine.

I want it to be the best!

So do I.

-Good.
-Good.

-Okay.
-Yeah.

All right then.

It's settled.

Great.

Okay, two things we haven't
discussed yet.

Food and staffing.

Hospitality's taking care
of the food.

We're good there.

I have an idea.

Luke, when you plan
a party,

every detail is a reflection
of you.

And I'm here representing
Gail Lane Events,

so I won't settle for anything
less than perfect.

This chef is very good,

we don't need to micromanage
him.

Good. I have an idea.

Why do you keep saying that?

Because I have a lot of...
ideas?

Look, we need to have them
create a holiday menu,

and we'll do a tasting.

I like to know exactly
what we're getting,

and I never do anything
on faith.

You're a bit bossy,
aren't you?

Well, one person's bossy

is another person's
detail-oriented.

You know, I've worked at
this park since I was 15,

and I know it like the back
of my hand.

And I have 43 major functions
under my belt.

I know parties like the back
of my hand.

Oh.

Here I thought
it was an event.

Yes.

It is an event.

See? We're making progress.

Hmm?

Luke, one more week, and
I'm out of your hair for good.

And maybe by the end
of this thing,

you'll come out of it
with what you want.

Nothing, man.

Not even a word
about the job.

Well, maybe planning this party
is your job interview continued.

Longest interview ever.

Should we call Guinness?

First guy in my family to go
to college,

and now I'm going to be
the first guy in my family

to climb to the top of
the executive food chain.

And I can do this on my own.

I don't need some fancy
New York City party planner.

What about Wild West Amusements?

Aren't they trying to poach
you away from us?

There are other parks out
there, Luke.

Not for me, Eric.

Not for me.

Dollywood's my home.

All right.

There's a giant tree back there.

That wasn't here
when I was a kid.

That was Glacier Ridge.

Opened a year ago.

Every night we light that
LED tree.

Oh, I bet it's gorgeous.

Certainly is.

You know, I... I can't help
but think.

We've got this whole park
at our disposal,

and we're having the event
on Show Street.

I mean it's beautiful,
but...

Yeah, it's the centrepiece
of the park.

It's where we always have
the parties.

Yeah but I... I feel like
we're missing something.

Some way to use this whole park
and not just Show Street.

Hold on.

Are you saying that you don't
have an idea right now?

Are you... are you feeling
okay?

Do you need to sit down?

I'm fine, thank you.

It'll come to me.

It always does.

What do you do when
you get stuck?

Well, I don't get stuck.

No, I just keep going
until I figure it out.

Uh-huh.

Well, I'd like to do something
to get out of my head,

till it hits me.

I know just the place to go,
and they'll still be there.

Come on.

"And he sprang to his sleigh,
to his team gave a whistle,

"and away they all flew like
the down of a thistle.

"But I heard him exclaim
as he drove out of sight,

"Happy Christmas to all,
and to all a good night."

Did you like that?

Is that one of your
favourite stories?

I know, it's one of mine, too.

Imagine that.

Being the kind of person
who would start a foundation

that donates books to little
kids all over the world.

And over 100 million
and counting.

That's Dolly.

Books are transformative.

I still don't know
what we're doing here.

Right, well, when I get stuck,

a bookstore is a great place
to come.

You know, when you get lost
in the story,

become a kid, that's... that's
when inspiration strikes.

Well, let's say you stay here,
search for your inspiration,

while I go back to the park,

because I still have
operations to run.

Mommy!

Hey!

Did you hear Grammy's story?

Yes, it's one of my favourites.

Luke, this is my daughter, Ava.

Hi, Ava.

It's very nice to meet you.

You too.

Well, I'll see you back at work.

Yeah.

Bye.

'Kay.

Mommy, who was that?

That was my coworker.

Luke Hakman.

Hey Luke, it's Mark Haber
calling

from Wild West Amusements.

Sorry to call you after hours,
but it's been a busy day,

then had a dinner.

It's okay.

I'm just leaving work now
myself as well.

You see, that's exactly why
I want you at my park.

Dedication.

Look, I just had dinner tonight
with my final candidate,

and he's not it.

I know you've already
turned me down,

but I am not a man
who gives up easily.

I need you here, Luke.

I really appreciate the vote
of confidence, Mark.

But...

You know, I could sweeten
the pot.

It's not about the money
for me.

I love it here.

This place is my home.

Well listen, if it doesn't go
your way,

the great state of Georgia
could be your home in no time.

I'll remember that.

Have a good night.

You really outdid yourself,
Dad.

All right, Ava.

Hand me that string
of lights.

Ava went inside a couple
minutes ago.

Ah.

Sorry.

I think she prefers
helping Mom bake.

You don't have enough dough
out here for her to sample, so.

It's a fair choice.

Yeah.

But seriously, Dad.

Like, the decorations
you already had put up

aren't enough?

Well, people are talking about
the revival of my open house.

They come from miles around.

I need to make it worth
their while.

It already is!

Look at this display.

Oh, and I'll make sure
to come home early tonight

so I can be here in plenty
of time to help pass out cocoa.

That was always my job as a kid,

and this year Ava and I will
do it together.

As it should be.

We'll see you tonight.

Bye.

Luke.

Tomorrow at noon,
food tasting.

The chef has created a unique
Christmas menu,

not just boring old Swedish
meatballs or something.

You said that because you knew
I was having them

pass Swedish meatballs,
didn't you?

Uh, lucky guess.

Look, I meant no offence
by that of course.

But the chef is getting
really creative.

Fine, we go creative
but accessible.

Don't do anything people
can't pronounce.

Fine.

Also, what will servers
be wearing?

Tuxedos, like at most
catered affairs.

I have an idea.

Is that your favourite saying?

Because you sure
use it a lot.

I'm thinking of something
more festive.

This is Smoky Mountain
Christmas,

so let's portray that everywhere
you look.

I'll make an appointment
with the costume department.

Anything else?

Yes.

Tonight, I know we're meeting
about the schedule,

but I'm doing a thing
with my family,

so can we meet at
my parents' place?

Do I have a choice?

What if I said "pretty please
and we'll feed ya?"

I'd say "text me the address."

She's just so... there.

All the time.

Telling me what to do.

Like there's nothing wrong
with having ideas.

Like, she knows
what it takes

to keep this amusement
park up to par.

She's been here
for five days.

Five days with him,
and it feels like a month.

Rachel, you know how to play
nice with others.

I'm trying, but it's my
reputation on the line.

You know, if I don't
come through

with my first big solo event,

Gail will never trust me
to run her company.

She could literally blow
my opportunity

if they don't like her
"outside the box" ideas.

But if they do, let her
make you look good.

Ride those coattails.

Hm?

You two need
to stop fighting.

You both want
the same thing!

Plus, you catch more flies
with honey, honey.

Hey, girls.

Luke, hi.

Um, I... I... I was just
telling Maggie how great
it's going.

Yeah, yeah, same.

Great.

Enjoy your lunch.

Okay, see ya.

Yah... Bye.

Good chat.

You're welcome.

Ava!

It's time.

Mommy, I think Grandma
needs my help

with baking some more cookies.

Okay, go ahead.

-Hi.
-Hi.

I thought we were meeting.

We are.

Here.

You're on marshmallow duty.

Maybe we should have a station
like this at the party, huh?

That's a good idea.

Wait.

Somebody else can have
a good idea?

Are you feeling okay?

Because I wasn't sure
if that was allowed,

It's allowed and welcome.

You need to sit down, take
a minute, let that sink in?

Wow.

You people sure
don't mess around.

What, you don't decorate
like this for Christmas?

I have a wreath.

A wreath?

Yeah. One is all
I have time for.

Hammer, nail, wreath.

Boom.

Christmas.

Look Luke, I'm not used to
having to defer to anyone.

I mean, I have a boss
in New York,

but she gives me a lot of rope.

What I'm trying to say is,
I'm sorry.

If I came across as overbearing,
it wasn't my intention.

I'm sorry, too.

I mean, ultimately, we...
we both want the same thing.

Yes, we do.

And I don't like failing.

Me neither.

So let's say we call a truce,

and create the best event
this park has ever seen.

Deal?

Deal.

Great, just get back to me...

Good morning.

Hi.

I was just in the VIP tent.

I love what you are doing.

It's really starting
to take shape, Rache.

Thanks.

You're making me look good.

Well, that was my master plan
all along.

-She's here!
-Let's go, let's go...

What's with them?

Oh, Dolly's here.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I meant to tell you.

Everybody gets a little excited
when she comes in.

Luke is down with her on
Market Street right now,

but they should probably be
back up here soon.

Great.

Good, that's good.

Maggie, do you have
a moment?

Oh, yeah.

Excuse me.

-She's here!
-Let's go, let's go!

Rachel.

Hi. Hello.

I... I thought you were
with Dolly.

I was.

She just left, she's heading
to her helicopter.

She has a show tonight.

Yeah, great.

Good.

Uh, I brought the RSVP list
for the VIP tent.

I thought you'd want
to see it.

I gave it to you.

Right. Yes.

Uh, don't forget.

Noon, today, food tasting.

Bring your appetite.

All righty.

Cranberry cheese bites.

These will be passed along with
bite sized pulled pork biscuits,

fried tomato goodie baskets,
and pecan pie lollies.

I'm also going to do Christmas
tree shaped towers of fruit

and vegetables.

This all looks so delicious.

Thank you for thinking
outside the box.

Well, it was fun putting
the menu together.

And it should be unique.

30 years.

However, I will honour tradition
with a funnel cake station.

After all, we're famous
for them.

I'm sure it'll be a huge hit.

I've got a few more dishes
for you to sample.

Eat. I'll be right back.

Thank you.

Mmm.

This is so good.

Oh, so I have an idea.

Here we go.

We have all the shows

in the park going on during
the party, right?

But our guests have
to leave the festivities

in order to see them.

Well yeah, because shows tend
to happen in the theatres.

But what if we took the shows
out of the theatres

and onto Show Street?

To do a little number there?

Like a variety show.

We bring the entertainment
to them.

Yeah, that could work.

I'll call the head
of entertainment

and get him on it right away.

Not a party.

A production.

And we'll have to get Dolly
to introduce the show.

That's the key.

I love it.

Look who's here.

Hey.

This is what you do
on your day off?

I never take a day off.

Too much to do.

This is what you do
on your day off.

Of course.

We've been having a blast.

Plus, a little research.

A little surveying.

Mm-hmm.

But Ava's been my sidekick
today, huh?

Hi, Ava.

You having fun?

We've been on every ride.

We've seen every show,
every musical act.

And we're trying to figure out
how to tie

the performances together
in a fun, cohesive way.

Hmm.

Well, if you're looking
to figure things out,

I might know just the place.

Sometimes I go there
when I need to step away.

I thought you didn't get stuck.

Sometimes you just need
an outlet.

Someplace to gather
your thoughts.

Wait a minute.

This is where you come
to gather your thoughts?

What can I say?

I don't like the quiet.

I can't believe they still
do this in the square.

I used to come here with my dad
when I was a kid.

We were very serious
about naming our snowmen.

Ava and I still do it.

What should we name
this one?

Meg, Joe, Amy?

Beth.

Little Women.

I'm following the pattern.

You know what I think
she needs?

Arms.

Of course she does.

I'm going to get some sticks
over there.

So, you really like books.

Yeah.

I always had my nose in one
as a kid.

They're the best escape.

I majored in literature.

I even...

Well, I used to think
I might even write

children's books for a living.

Well, what happened?

You know, you give something
a try for a few years

and nobody bites,

and you figure it's time
to cut your losses.

I'm good at what I do,
you know

and I'm on a great track
with Gail.

I can think of a worse plan B.

Now those are some
top-notch choices, Ava.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Perfect.

Its tiny nose.

You know what else long arms
are good for?

Throwing snowballs.

No!

No, no, no.

Woah.

What about you?

What about me?

Well, why do you want this
promotion so badly?

Director of Operations is
no small accomplishment.

Growing up, times were tough.

Even though both of my parents,
they worked so hard.

And I was determined

to be the one that ended
that cycle for my family.

From my first day at the park,

I knew I wanted to get
all the way to the top,

because it means
your sacrifice,

all your hard work,
it wasn't for nothing.

Now I know why you're such
a workaholic.

You're one to talk.

Yeah.

I know, I'm always trying
to figure out

how to juggle it all,
but it's... it's tricky.

You don't make it
look tricky.

...Um, that way.

Yeah.

We're... we're that way.

Do you want to come over
for a bite to eat?

I really should...

What?

Get back to work?

No.

I actually need to go check
out a DJ.

This party isn't the only thing
I have on my plate,

you know.

Well, go tomorrow.

Because my family and I are
doing something very interesting

and I think you should
join us,

Mr. One Wreath At Christmas.

I'm simultaneously
intrigued and terrified.

Good.

I've never even baked a cupcake,
let alone a yule log,

which I've also never heard of.

It's only the greatest holiday
dessert of all time.

That doesn't help me very much.

I haven't done much of this
at Christmas.

The park is always so busy
during the holidays.

Well, what about your family?

I spend Christmas Day
with them.

I'm sorry, but that is
an unacceptable amount

of holiday cheer.

Again.

She's right, Luke.

That just will not do.

So you're going to stay here

and bake your first yule log
with us.

I'm willing to give it a shot,
but this?

This doesn't look quite right.

What?

It's messy.

You have to spread
the frosting evenly, like this.

Wow.

Maybe you should do it,
since you're so good at it.

I know what you're trying to do,
Luke.

Now frost.

Yours is amazing.

Thanks, yours too.

And Mom's!

Mm-hmm.

Oh, Luke.

It's, it's beautiful.

Is it though?

Not really.

But that's okay,
because it'll taste good.

I think.

Great.

You know, I had yule log
for breakfast,

and I brought some
for lunch too.

You are hooked.

It only takes one.

So good.

Try this on.

Are you kidding?

Well, I need to see it on if we
want our staff to wear this.

Oh.

Really?

Well then, I need to see
this on

to see if our staff
will wear this.

Mm-hmm.

Fine.

You look amazing.

You do.

Thank you.

It's my colour.

No.

Hmm, not exactly the classy
image we're going for.

I was told I'd find you two
here, in the North Pole.

We were just, uh...

For the staff.

To wear at the party.

We're figuring things out.

Interesting.

So, we love that we're now doing
performances on Show Street.

PR's already on it,
and Country Cable,

you know that channel?

Well, they want to feature
highlights

on their news program, since
Dolly is introducing the show.

Now, it's going to be more than
just our party guests watching,

so let's make sure everything
is extra special.

And I'd nix the outfits.

Already nixed.

Yeah, long nixed.

Well, you wanted a production.

Not exactly what I meant.

I've never done anything
this big on such short notice.

I guess it's make or break.

Do or die.

Sink or swim.

You're still here.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, my parents took Ava
to the movies,

so I figured I'd stay late
and watch videos

of some old specials.

I feel like we need a big
finale, you know?

But so far I'm coming up short.

Sounds like you're spinning
a little.

Thinking too much,
maybe?

Maybe a little.

Or a lot.

Mm-hmm.

I just, I've had press before,

but never national
cable coverage.

Well, if you're in the mood
for a different environment,

I'm heading down to the Saddle
Inn to hear that DJ play

that I was telling you about.

Maybe you might want to get out
of your head for a bit?

I... I haven't been line dancing
in years.

That's... that's not what
I meant.

I'm just going down to listen.

I don't dance.

Well, you do now.

You've got cowboy boots,
dontcha?

Yeah.

What are you waiting for?

Rhythm.

Let's go!

Oh, no, no.

Oh, come on.

You grew up in Tennessee,
you know how to do this.

It's like riding a bike.

Yeah, it's all coming back
to me.

Last time I rode a bike,
when I was 16,

I broke my collarbone.

Look, line dancing
has always been

much more of a spectator
sport for me.

Then it's time to stop riding
the bench and get into the game.

And here I thought you were
only bossy at work.

One person's bossy is another
person's dance partner.

One, two three four...

You're good.

First you like an idea of mine
and now a compliment?

I don't even know what to do

with all this positive
reinforcement.

I like to see Mr. Corporate
letting go and having some fun.

Don't tell anyone at work.

I thought you said
you couldn't dance.

No, I said I don't dance.

Why not?

Just one more thing to fit
into my already busy schedule.

It's kind of low
on the priority list.

Or maybe I just haven't had
the right partner.

Um, we're here to listen
to the DJ,

and the dance floor's a pretty
good place for that.

You have done what many
have tried and failed.

What's that?

Getting me dancing.

Well, getting me out, really.

You must have some magical
powers or something.

Or maybe it's just
your sheer force of will.

Maybe you're just embracing
what the world has to offer

outside of work for once.

Seeing you with Ava yesterday,

you're one of the good ones,
Luke.

Well, she's a really great kid.

Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

You're a really good mom.

Always doing your best to be
a perfect role model for her.

But...

What?

I just feel like maybe she's
watching you live your plan B.

I know you tried before
with your writing,

but maybe it wasn't
the right time.

There's no "maybe" about it.

It didn't happen, and it wasn't
for lack of trying.

Hmm.

What if now is your time?

What's that saying?

"Luck is what happens when
preparation meets opportunity."

And the thing about writing

is you don't need an invitation
to do it.

It can always be a hobby
until it isn't anymore.

Wow.

Get him on the dance floor
one time

and suddenly he's an armchair
life coach.

Oh!

I forgot how good it
smells here.

And Ava loves it.

I think even more than New York.

And what about you?

I mean, Tennessee,
it gets in your blood.

Tennessee has always
been in my blood.

I never felt like a true
New Yorker.

But back when I was married,
my husband got a job there,

so we moved and then life
took over.

But this?

This has always felt like home.

I know.

I think it's why I keep
passing on this job in Atlanta.

What job is that?

Running Wild West Amusements.

I don't know.

Maybe I should take
the sure thing.

It's a good offer.

No.

You've done the preparation,
Luke.

And you're going to be the GM
of Dollywood.

I can feel it.

Yeah?

Yeah.

I'm telling you, it wasn't.

I don't know, I think it might
have been...

Oh!

Ah! There you are.

How was the movie?

Great.

Ava's waiting up for her story.

We thought we'd do it in front
of the fire tonight.

Unless you two are...
busy.

Working.

I'm never too busy for that.

You uh, you up for a story?

That depends.

Will there be yule log?

I think we can round some up.

Then count me in.

And as Ava sat in a sleigh,

they went up, up, up, and away!

Sailing across the milky way,
over the seas,

delivering presents to all
the little kids

all around the world.

But Ava said, "Santa,
how can you find

"all those houses of all those
little kids?"

And he said "Ho, ho, ho.

"Little girl, there's a path
to every destination.

"You just have to follow it."

Mommy, keep going.

The path.

To Glacier Ridge.

I know what to do
for the finale.

Yeah.

Mags?

Hm?

They told me I'd find you here.

I put a cheque request
for a florist on your desk.

They need it ASAP.

Oh. Yeah, sure.

I'll do it as soon as
I'm done here.

Great.

Is this where you keep all
the Christmas decorations?

Oh, no.

We keep those on site.

These are books for
Dolly's Imagination Library.

What?

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, one of the local
affiliates

is moving over the holidays,

so we said they could store 'em
here until New Year's.

All those little kids,
getting all those books.

Maybe someday you could have
a book in her library.

You'd kind of have to be
published first.

Are you writing again,
Rache?

Well, I mean, no.

No, it's nothing.

Because if you are, I have
some connections.

I could put you in touch
with somebody.

That is not necessary.

Anyway, we gotta go.

It's almost time
for the presentation.

Come on.

Oh, hey.

What?

Hi.

So the stage show wraps up.

And everyone thinks
all right, that's it.

Show's over,
let's call it a night.

Until the parade music starts,
loud and powerful,

through the whole park.

And down Show Street comes
The Parade of Many Colours.

So Dolly gets in her car, she
drives up with a parade in tow.

The music continues, and then
all of our shows' cast join in

and head up the park.

They'll encourage guests
to follow along...

...Up to Glacier Ridge,
where we'll do the finale,

the tree lighting, and we'll
unveil the LED star at the top.

Yeah, Luke, uh, the tree's
being glitchy.

What do you mean, glitchy?

Glitchy in that it doesn't
always want to work.

I thought you reprogrammed it.

I did.

I'm still working on it.

We have to have faith,

because, because it beats panic
and we only have two days.

Also Eric, fix it.

Please.

Yes, because PR just told me
that we got RSVPs

for over 40 press outlets now
that Dolly is presenting.

Yeah, it's gotten a little
bigger than we'd originally

planned for, so it needs
to go off without a hitch.

Now in your folders, you'll see
your marching orders.

And in the meantime,

let's clear the path from show
street up to Glacier Ridge.

We've never run the parade
up through there.

You see, now this is a finale.

Yes, it is.

If it works.

It was my very first day here,

and all new hires had
to attend an orientation.

Well, don't forget the most
important part.

You were 15.

You never let anyone
forget that.

You've been here
a long time.

I've had other jobs, but always
found my way back here.

They've been good to me.

Lately, haven't had
a reason to leave.

If I worked here,
I would never leave.

So Dolly happened to be
at my orientation.

She likes to welcome new
employees whenever she can.

And we each had to go
to the front of the room

and tell a little
about ourselves.

I was so nervous when
I walked to the front,

I tripped over my own feet.

I knocked into her, taking
her down to the ground with me.

Oh, my gosh.

I was so humiliated,

but she was completely
gracious about it.

All she said was
"watch the hair, son."

She never forgot me
after that.

Well, at least you got
to meet her.

Well, she'll definitely be
at the party,

and I hope for your sake
your first encounter with her

is not as memorable
as mine was.

Hi, Gail.

I heard from Carl Hensley you
were doing an incredible job.

I just wanted to hear how
it's going

straight from the horse's mouth.

It's a whirlwind,
but not the first time

I've been through
one of those.

I always know that when you're
on the job,

you give it your attention 24/7.

I never have to worry
or micromanage with you.

Well, everyone seems
very happy.

And all this press
we're getting

is going to help us
in a huge way.

Oh, I know.

I've gotten a lot of
calls already.

Incidentally, several of them
asking about you specifically.

About me?

And I know you want more.

I'm talking about a partnership,
you and me.

I'm not ready to hang up my hat
altogether just yet,

but I don't ever want
to lose you, Rachel.

When I said that you're
the best on my team,

I meant it.

That's quite an offer.

Look, finish up the event.

Take some much deserved time
with your family.

You're going to need
the rest,

because we hit the ground
running the first of the year.

Together.

We'll talk about details later.

Goodnight, Rachel.

Goodnight, Gail.

Hey.

You're up late.

Yeah.

I guess with the party
in a few days,

work doesn't stop just
because we're tired, right?

Actually, I'm not working.

Adventures of Ava.

Yeah, I'm just writing down
some of our greatest hits.

For fun.

Just for fun?

Yeah.

Rache.

You can always try again,
you know.

I know.

And I might, someday.

You look so happy lately.

I am happy.

You know, experiencing all
the old traditions together,

and seeing how happy Ava is,
and...

And Luke?

I see how you two look
at each other.

Most of the time, I think I look
at him with annoyance.

And vice-versa.

Mom.

He lives here, and my life is
in New York.

In fact tonight, Gail made me
a very interesting offer.

A partnership.

Oh, that's wonderful.

Yeah.

Are you sure your life is still
in New York?

Yes, Mom.

My home is there.

Ava's school is there,
my job is there.

But all those things
you just listed,

they're here in Tennessee too.

Goodnight, honey.

Goodnight, Mom.

How are we on crowd control
around Glacier Ridge?

We have the area roped off
for the parade.

It's not going to be
a problem.

Perfect.

We have a lot of work
to do

before the final run through
tonight.

Yeah.

Mark.

Hi.

Hey.

What are you doing
in town?

Oh hey, I came to the party.

I've been a season pass holder
since I was a kid.

So, everybody in town is talking
about you, Luke.

Is that right?

Oh yeah, this is supposed to be

quite the event that
you're throwing.

So, how are things?

Well, there's been no word
on the promotion yet,

but I think they're getting
close, though.

Close.

Luke, come on.

I mean, I know you've been here
a long time,

and I admire the loyalty.

But I'm offering you
a sure thing.

I know, but...

Everything after the word "but"
is irrelevant.

I'll tell you what, I'm going
to email you an offer

and I think you're going to like
what you see.

Let's talk in a couple of days.

That guy's pretty slick.

Yeah.

What do I do?

You let the powers at be
at Dollywood

see the event you're about
to put on.

The rest is just paperwork?

Thanks, Eric.

Good morning, Alexis.

Morning.

I'm Vince Blackwell, I'm here
to meet for the GM position.

Alexis.

We spoke on the phone.

Of course.

Yes.

I love your office,
it's beautiful.

Thank you.

Can I get you coffee, tea?

But remember, as soon as 'Twas
the Night Before Christmas'

comes off the stage, we need
Appalachian Christmas ready.

Eric got the tree working.

Software glitch solved.

That is perfect,
because we are about ready

for a dress rehearsal.

We are taking the parade
up to Glacier Ridge.

All right, I am going
to go get set up.

I'll head down there with him.

Give us a call when you're ready
and you're on your way.

Will do.

Okay guys, let's head on down
for a dress rehearsal.

Dolly is here and she'd like
to see the tree

now that it's working.

Copy.

Dolly would like to see
the tree.

And so she shall see
the tree.

All right, give us 10 minutes
to get set up,

we'll meet her over
at Glacier Ridge.

All right, Eric.

Let's get the lights and
the star back on.

Dolly's on her way over now.

Sure thing, boss.

Looking good, my friend.

Looking very good.

Uh... What just happened?

Uh, I don't know.

The glitch is back, um...

We blew a circuit.

Don't worry, I'll figure it out.

Well, can you figure it out fast
Dolly is...

...here!

Hey, sorry guys.

Dolly had to take a call
with her manager,

so she won't be able
to come by.

Everything okay?

Yes, yes, totally.

That's fine.

We're just having
a little issue.

Yeah, yeah, it's...
no problem.

Just um, tell her everything

will be perfect and ready
for tomorrow.

Right, Eric?

Yeah.

Okay, well, just call me
if you need anything, okay?

Yep.

Great job.

So, this might be a problem.

Big time.

Here are some more
of your keepsakes.

Thank you.

I'll take a look and see
what I want to keep.

Oh, there's more.

I'll put them all in the den.

Hey honey.

Look who stopped by.

Luke, hey.

What are you doing here?

Did Eric get the tree
back online?

Because I didn't
hear anything.

Grab your coats
and your gloves.

We're going out.

You, me and Ava.

I'm going to take that
as a no.

Oh, it's a definitive no.

But I can't sit around waiting
for a call,

so we're going somewhere.

And you're not going
to tell me where?

It's a secret.

A minty fresh, delicious secret.

Are we doing Peppermint Lane?

Everything's peppermint.

Yeah.

You go from store to restaurant
to bakery,

and everyone has a peppermint
treat to share.

I haven't done this
since I was a kid.

I was going to surprise you
and bring you this weekend

after the party, but somebody
beat me to it.

Ava did mention that peppermint
was her favourite.

It's my very favourite.

Well, it's our next stop.

This is amazing.

I know, right?

What do you want?

One of those.

Peppermint cupcake.

Nice choice, young lady.

Oh, my goodness,
look who's here.

Can I go see Santa?

Of course, sweetie.

Should we get
a hot chocolate?

Sure, yeah.

You know for a minute, I
actually forgot that our event

might completely fall apart
tomorrow night.

But that might be the sugar.

It's definitely the sugar,

and I think I need more
because I did not forget.

Ah.

Thank you.

Thanks.

But we can only do
what we can do.

Eric and his team are on it.

That does not sound like
the Luke I've come to know.

You sound very... zen.

No one has ever said
that about me.

I believe that.

And I'm willing to bet
that you've never received

that particular compliment,
either.

Fair.

Although you do seem
a bit more relaxed

than when I first met you.

Well, this is home,
family, the traditions.

It's calming.

I've even started writing again.

Yeah, just for fun,
as a hobby.

That's a good start.

You know, I've been so focused
on trying to beat

the family odds

that I've completely ignored
other areas of my life.

And then in walked Rachel Davis,

and suddenly I'm accused
of being zen.

Your enthusiasm is contagious,

and it's been really nice
having you as a partner.

I mean, at work.

Right.

I'm going to miss everybody
and this place.

Yeah.

Hey, sweetie.

Okay, Santa just told me
that the hardware store

on the corner has
peppermint bark.

No way.

Yes way.

Okay, then let's go
get some.

I'll race you there.

All right, so we're
back online.

Fuses are all fixed,
software's glitch free,

tree and star are working.

But will they work when we
need them to?

Yeah, I think they will.

I need you to know.

Yeah, I know.

Okay.

No mistakes, no speed bumps.

We have major press outlets,
plus cable coverage and Dolly.

It's going to be great.

I just wish we had
that last run through.

But I had a good night
last night.

You did Peppermint Lane,
didn't you?

Yeah.

With Rachel and her daughter.

What?

Instead of spinning and worrying
and agonizing

over something you have
absolutely no control over?

Something like that.

I don't even know who you are
right now.

You like her.

What?

No.

She lives in New York,
she's going to be leaving soon.

Maybe something could convince
her to stay?

This job is done
after the party.

She's not going to be staying.

I wasn't talking about the job,

I was talking about

your ridiculously
charming personality.

Right.

I don't know, I just haven't
really heard you agonize

over this promotion in a bit.

Maybe it's just a coincidence,

but it just doesn't seem to be
the end-all-be-all

to you anymore.

You know that Dolly quote,

"Don't get so busy
making a living you forget
to make a life?"

Yeah.

It's kind of been ringing
through my head lately.

Yeah, I was right.

You like her.

I think you should tell her
before she leaves.

Alexis.

Oh.

You look great.

Thank you.

Rachel went home to change,
I'm going to get ready here,

would you please let everyone
know I'll be down in a few?

Sure.

See you there.

Okay. Thanks.

Alexis, you remember
Vince Blackwell?

Yes.

I invited him to come tonight
and see what's going on.

Great.

I've got big plans
for this guy here,

he's going to be quite the asset
to the park.

I have no doubt.

Big night.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I can't believe our time here
is almost done.

One more week and
it's back to New York.

You sure are going to be missed
around here.

It's been so good
having you two home.

I don't want it to end.

I know, but what would I do here
if we stayed?

The same thing you do
in New York.

Plan parties for busy people.

The difference is, here you'd
have us to help you with Ava.

Going out on my own though,
do you have any idea

how time consuming it would be
to be a one-woman show?

It's as time consuming
as you want it to be.

You wouldn't have
the same volume

as the company in New York.

You could keep writing.

Yeah, but you know,
as Gail's partner,

I... I could be flexible.

We have a whole staff, I could
pick and choose my time.

Well, if that's what you
really want.

Yeah.

Unless there's something else

that might make you want
to stay.

Better get dressed.

All right, so when we see
everyone coming up Show Street,

we should...

...say something.

Wow.

You uh, cleaned up
pretty nice yourself.

So.

We're all set.

And the gates open for the party
guests in half an hour.

Good.

Everything seems to be
up and running again.

Digitally.

You okay?

Nerves getting the best of you?

Not nerves.

I didn't get the job.

What? Why?

They haven't even seen
what we've done.

I guess they didn't need to.

They gave it to someone else.

I'm so sorry, Luke.

It's okay.

I've been thinking a lot lately
about what's really important,

especially since you got here.

And I...

Me too.

Maybe we don't always get
to do exactly what we thought

we wanted to do in life,
and that's okay.

Not every dream is realized,
and if what we have is good,

that should be enough.

And that job at Wild West
is good,

and my life in New York
is good.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And I feel the same way.

Which is why I'm going to take
that job at Wild West.

Mm-hmm.

It's everything I've been
working toward.

And you and I, I mean, we're
both going to be just fine.

Absolutely fine.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Look, Rachel, I...

Hey.

Evening, Luke.

Hi, Dolly.

Well, is this?...

It's Rachel.

I have heard so much
about you.

Well, I've... I've heard
quite a bit about you, too!

Obviously.

I mean, you're...
you're Dolly.

You're Dolly Parton.

I mean, everybody knows
who you are.

Well, they'd better, or we'll
have to close this place down.

I just wanted to know if you're
ready to do this thing.

Yes.

Well, come on.
Let's do it.

See you later, Luke.

See ya.

Thank you all, and Merry
Christmas to everybody.

You know, I spend a lot of
my time out on the road

all through the year, and every
time I walk into this park,

I feel like I'm really home.

And tonight, I want
to welcome all of you,

because it's your home too.

You know, I've been told
that you're known

by the company you keep.

Well, if that's so, I want you
to judge me.

Judge me by this wonderful team
that has put all this together

over the last 30 plus years.

And I just want to ask you
if you'll keep coming back.

Because if you'll keep
coming back to see us,

I promise to be here for
at least 100 years more.

Is that a deal?

Anyway, I'd like to present
to you now,

Smoky Mountain Christmas
at Dollywood!

Take it away, boys!

Eric, tell me it's going
to work.

It's going to work.

Here.

We're prepping the desert tables
for after the finale,

the last performance is heading
to the stage right now,

the parade is ready,

Glacier Ridge staff are
at their stations,

and Luke, you're all booted up.

It's finale time.

We're uh, we're working on it.

What's wrong?

Nothing. Everything's great.

Okay. Four minutes.

And now we present
a Parade of Many Colours.

I want to invite all of you

to follow us up to Glacier Ridge
for our big grand finale.

Come on!

We're en route.

Okay, Eric.

Let's bring some light
to this night.

...5, 4. 3...

Okay, go for lights.

...2, 1

Eric?

What's happening?

Check the master boot drive.

Come on.

Yes!

That's amazing.

This is home.

So, what did you guys think?

Wow.

You put on quite a show, Rache.

Everyone was impressed.

Like I said, you're making me
look good.

It was a team effort.

You and Luke?

The whole Dollywood team.

They really make you feel
at home.

And so have you.

Thank you for making this year
so special for us.

It's just what we needed.

I didn't realize
how much...

I just feel like this is where
we're supposed to be,

here in Pigeon Forge
with all of you.

Really?

Can we stay here, Mommy?

Would you want that,
sweetie?

Because all I ever want is
to make you happy.

I'd love to be here with Grammy
and Papa, and Luke.

Oh, well, uh, sweetie,
he actually,

um, he got a job somewhere else,

but I'm sure he'll come back
to visit.

I'm going to miss him, too.

But you and I have so much fun
ahead of us.

I'm going to put feelers out
to do some events here.

But not as many as
in New York.

Oh honey, I know so many people
who'd love to use your services.

Having you two here, I can't
think of anything better.

You know, this is what
I hoped would happen.

We'll get Ava home.

You stay and enjoy your party.

Thanks.

Thank you, Mommy.

I love you.

Oh, I love you too.

Come on.

I know.

I need to go find him.

Mm-hmm.

Hey.

Hey.

Have you seen Luke?

I've been looking
for him everywhere

and he's not answering
his phone.

Uh yeah, I saw him walk
off with that guy

from Wild West Amusements right
after the tree lighting.

Luke, it's...
it's Rachel again.

Are you still in the park?

Please call me back, I, uh...
I need to talk to you.

Penny for your thoughts.

Dolly!

Well, that's the name my Momma
gave me.

I thought it was a great night,

and I always love to come out
and thank everybody personally.

And what are you doing
on this stage alone?

Oh, I... I was looking
for Luke.

I didn't say something that I
should've said to him earlier.

I think I messed up.

Oh, it can't be all that bad.

Even a bad haircut
can be fixed.

You know, tonight
really resonated with me.

And you, everything
you've built,

your music, Dollywood,
the Imagination Library.

It's, it's so inspiring.

Well, like I always say,

you can have what you want
if you believe you can have it.

And you never gave up
on yourself?

Oh, in my career,

I've had a lot of people tell me
I was never going to make it.

But my philosophy
has always been,

for those that say
it can't be done,

would you just please
stop interrupting

those of us that are doing it?

Words to live by.

You know, Luke is one
special guy,

and he is going to make an
exceptional general manager.

Wait, he got it?

He said you hired someone else.

Well, we hired an assistant
general manager,

but Luke is our guy.

I have to find him.

Maybe I'll help you with that.

No, I've been trying that.

He's not answering his phone.

Well, I might have a better
connection around here than you.

Yep.

Glacier Ridge.

Five minutes.

What?

Told ya.

Don't you just love happy
endings?

Thank you, Dolly.

You better tell him.

He's up on Glacier Ridge, so
go tell him on the mountain.

Luke!

Rachel, hi.

Look, I'm... I'm sorry.

I was talking to Mark Haber
earlier,

and my phone was on silent,
and...

You... you... you can't take
that job at Wild West.

This is where you belong.

I know.

That's why I turned it down.

Well, you are going to make the
best GM this park has ever seen.

What are you talking about?

You got it.

I don't understand, I saw them
hire that other guy.

No, you saw them
with your assistant GM.

Really?

Yeah.

And Ava and I are staying here,
too.

In Tennessee.

I... I don't want to settle
for "good enough" anymore.

You were right, I want to show
Ava and I want to show myself

that you can have the dream.

And I am not giving up
on myself this time.

I'm not giving up on anything.

Well, I have an idea.

Me first.

Now that's what I call
a happy ending.

Oh, you know what?

It... it looks like we
missed one.

Really?

There it is.

Oh.

It's for you.

It's from Dolly.

What?

It's my book.

Why would Dolly give me a copy
of my own book?

Maybe she should look inside,
huh?

"Dear Rachel.

"We are pleased to inform you
that your book

"has been chosen by Dolly's
Imagination Library!"

I was sworn to secrecy.

This is incredible!

Mommy, does that mean a whole
bunch of little kids

are going to get your book
as a gift?

Yes, sweetie.

This, all of this,
is better than any gift

I ever could've dreamed of.
