I want to thank you
all for another wonderful year

at Genuine Article.

I couldn't ask
for a better team.

And as we head
into the holiday season,

I'd like to take
a moment to reflect

on what's truly important.

Cue the champagne.

So, let's raise a glass.

To residuals, the gift that
keeps on giving all year long.

Cue the mailboxes, Katrina.

To mailbox money!

Now let's get
this party started.

And cue the music.

Look at us winning.
This party's a hit.

Well, your smile certainly
lit up the entire room.

But, I mean, why else
do you think I hired you.

I thought it was my mother's
well-connected business friends.

Or it was your
amazing work ethic

and your Ivy League education.

Hey, everything I've learned
thus far, I've learned from you.

- So, thank you.
- Oh, thank you.

Aww! Two turtle doves.

That's sweet. Thank you.

They're not just
any turtle doves,

they're turtle love doves.
They bring good luck in love.

Oh! So what are you implying,
I need better luck and love?

No. It would
just be nice to see you

give it a try for once is all.

Okay.

Thank you.

Incoming. 9 o'clock.

Ashley,
I cannot thank you enough

for putting all this together
so quickly.

- Everything is perfection.
- I'm glad to hear it.

And the holiday bonuses
in the mini mailboxes?

You're sheer genius.

- I do what I can.
- And all this food is beyond.

Are they all
Liam's personal recipes?

Uh, his and his mom's.

She has this amazing restaurant
in Nashville--

What's his story anyway?

Are he and your assistant
a thing or what?

Oh, no. Definitely not.

I tried. He said that
she can't be contained.

Oh, okay. So what about
you and him then?

Oh, me and Liam?
Oh, wow. No.

I mean, yes, we make
a great team in business,

but we are just friends.

I don't think about him
like that.

I only use him for his
"I hate crostini."

Oh.

Well, I suppose you won't mind
if we somehow find ourselves

under the mistletoe tonight.

Oh, no.
Go get him.

Hmm.

I must go and try
the desserts anyway.

Candy cane truffles look
absolutely divine.

- Those are always a hit.
- Ooh.

What was that all about?

I think Deborah
might have a crush.

But what do you expect

when you make your famous
candy cane truffles?

Hmm. She certainly looks,
uh, thrilled.

Hmm.

Well, everybody does.
Turned out great.

Old parties
by Ashley strikes again.

Oh, your little
catering thing helped.

Oh? Well, that's why
I do it, you know,

for your unbridled praise
and gratitude.

Ashley, we need help.

- Okay. Mm-hmm. Be right there.
- Thanks.

So, apparently, there's been
a poi incident in the kitchen,

which one of us goes?

Sounds awful.

- You go.
- Oh. Well, fine.

Looks like you have plans
already anyways.

Uh, suddenly, I'm very free,
actually, so...

Cheers.

To another job well done and...

to our third year
in business together.

Has it really been three years?

- Wow, doesn't feel like it.
- Mm-hmm.

I know, time flies.

Got to admit,
pretty excited for a break.

You don't know
how to take a break.

You're probably gonna be
blowin' up my phone

with a New Year's gig for us
to throw together last minute.

Or maybe Kwanzaa.
That's only two weeks away.

Oh, yeah, sure.

So, uh, when're you headin'
home?

Supposed to be mid next week.

Are you sure
you don't wanna come?

You know how much
my parents love you.

I mean,
that does sound amazing.

Oh, your dad's bad jokes.

Ooh, competitive baking
with your mother.

Ah, well, she does make
a better pound cake.

Hm. That's true.

And as much as I'd love
to try my hand at that again,

I already said that I'd water
your plants while you're away,

and since I'm a man of my word,
I must decline.

Hmm.

Okay, if that's what you want.

I just don't like the idea of
you spending the holidays alone.

Trust me,
if I didn't want to be alone,

I'd be spending the holidays
in Hawaii with my mom, dad,

and annoying sister,
but why would I do that

when I have my very own luau
right here.

Okay, fine, plus, I forgot
about my plants anyways,

so, yes, please stay.

And we'll have, uh, New Year's
again in two weeks

like we always do, yeah?

- Yeah.
- Whether it's over a gig or...

Ooh, a super expensive bottle
of champs

left over from this party.

Let me go pull the van around.

Oh, okay, yeah. I'll just keep
an eye on things here.

Oh. So helpful.

- Hm. You're welcome.
- Thank you.

- Hey, let me just...
- Oh, yeah, thank you.

Thank you.

Okay.

Yes. Cute.

Oh.

That looks like the Lodge.

But he never goes home
for the holidays.

Does he?

All right, let's do this.

Wow!
Why do you look so guilty?

I'm not guilty. What?

- I don't look guilty.
- Huh.

You were stalking Grant again,
weren't you?

No, I wasn't.

Mm-hmm.

He liked my photo first, okay?

I know, it's sad!

I'm sad.

Yeah, it's not sad.

Creepy maybe,
but not sad.

You know, my sister
always says, "It's only creepy

if they're not cute,"
and you are, so...

Ash, you guys were
high school sweethearts.

If you really think that
there's still something there,

then why don't you stop being
such a weirdo and talk to him?

And say what? I haven't seen him
since high school,

and we do talk... kind of.

You communicate exclusively

through comments
on social media.

That's not talking,
that's distancing.

Well, it's not
a perfect relationship.

But I just can't reach out
to him anyways, I mean,

he lives in New York now
and I don't even have

his real number anymore.

You know, I don't even know
why I bother.

You always have
some silly excuse.

Can't I just have my crush?

You can,
if that makes you happy.

It does.

Then why do you complain
so much?

- Do I?
- Mm-hmm.

- Yeah.
- I-I complain a lot?

Oh, all the time.

Hm. Okay.

Didn't realize. Sorry.

Oh. Whoa! Got to be
faster than that, creeper.

Yeah?

No, you don't.
No, you don't.

Hm.

Maybe he's come home.

- Hey there!
- Oh, my! Oh!

Oh, oh, oh, oh!
We have to document this.

I hardly ever get
to wear earmuffs.

- Okay.
- Oh, my goodness.

I mean, I saw the photos,
you know,

but this place is not
that busted up at all!

Well, you know, I've been
remodeling it for months now.

You don't think I would go
through all that trouble

then build some dump.

No, no, no, no, baby.
No, no, of course not.

- Not on purpose.
- What?

All I'm saying is that
you and I have

very different definitions
of rustic.

- How was your flight?
- Uneventful.

As was that terrible drive
from LA.

And dark. Harmony doesn't have
much of a nightlife, does it?

Hey, it's not Manhattan.

Nightlife usually ends
at 9:00 p.m., not 9:00 a.m.

- Oh.
- But it's nice.

Yeah, I mean,
I could, I could do...

quiet for a couple of weeks.

So, um, is there
a bellhop or something?

Well, for now,
you're lookin' at him.

- Oh, rr-r-r! Such service.
- Yes, ma'am.

All right, so, um, be a dear

and please take my luggage
to my room.

And I hope you got me a room

with a sunny view
of the snowscape?

Uh, it has a snowed since...
It's quaint.

You're gonna love it.
You're gonna love it.

- Quaint, okay.
- Okay, I got it. Let's go.

Thanks. My driver brought it up.
Should be light.

- Okay.
- It's fine, it's fine.

Is this all just shoes?

Now where did I put...

my tablet?

- Mornin', sunshine.
- Morning.

You left your tote in the van

by the leftover Hawaiian ham
last night.

- Classic Ashley.
- Is there any other?

I knew you'd be lost
without your tablet and me.

True story.

- Whoa, you've already packed?
- Yeah.

I thought you weren't leaving
till next week.

Yeah. Well, plans changed,
I'm leaving today.

Um, why is that?

Um, I don't know.
I just don't have any more work,

so I figured, why not?

Well, then, I, uh...

I guess I'm glad
I brought you this.

Aww.

But we never exchange ornaments
until Christmas Eve's eve.

I know, but I knew that
we weren't going to

be able to exchange gifts
this year since you're gonna

stay home through Christmas,
so I brought it with me

so that you can take it with you
when you go.

Well, same to you.

It's that one right there.

You didn't think you were gonna
catch me unprepared, did ya?

I wonder how many of these
ornaments are from me.

Oh. Well,
that would be exactly 32.

Twenty-eight for each
and every holiday event

we've done together,
and then the four

that you've just given me
for Christmas.

Wow, I am super generous.

And only 28 ornaments
ahead of you.

Man, they've really added up
over the last four years, huh?

This one is still
my favorite, though.

Ah, yes,
well, it's not every day

that you get to throw a sweet 16
for an old Chinese Crested.

- That's true.
- As for me... this one.

That one's your favorite?
Yeah.

The big birthday party
with the petting zoo?

- Yeah.
- You were mauled by a goose.

I know, but despite it
being a complete disaster,

it was the first job
that we ever did together.

And the smoked goose that you
served at the second event,

that was a nice touch.

That's when I knew
we'd be a good team.

Uh, well, I should probably
let you finish packing.

Okay.

Thanks. I'm glad that
I got to see you before I left.

Me, too. Make sure
you tell your family

Merry Christmas for me, yeah?

Yeah, will do. And if you change
your mind about coming...

- I'll make sure to call.
- Okay.

- Merry Christmas, Ash.
- Merry Christmas.

- I'll see you for New Year's?
- Yeah.

Okay.

Don't kill my plants.

- I'll try not to.
- Okay.

There she is!

- Hi, sweetheart!
- Hi, mom.

- Oh, I'm so happy you're home.
- Oh, thank you.

- Hi. Gwen. Hi.
- Hey, little sis.

Oh, you look so grown-up in
your fancy rags, I, I love it.

I think that's the nicest thing
you've ever said to me.

Don't get used to it.
You're still a little bug

as far as I'm concerned.

- Hi, Martin.
- How are you?

- I'm good. How are you?
- Good.

Hope my sister's
treating you well.

Well, when I'm on
my best behavior, yeah.

Yeah, that sounds about right.
Uh, where's dad?

He's at home, untangling
the Christmas lights.

He's gonna meet us
at the tree lot.

What? It's less than two weeks
till Christmas,

and you're just now hanging
the lights and getting a tree?

Excuse me,
we were waiting for you.

I mean, it is
a special occasion with you

coming home for Christmas
so early.

And it's a well-known fact that
you are a far better decorator

than the rest of us.

Uh...

Okay, so,
why are you here so early?

Not that I blame you, because
why anyone would spend Christmas

in the city is beyond me.

I don't know. I just,
I needed to come, I guess.

Plus, it's nice to be home.

Aww, we're so happy to have you,
little Ladybug.

It's gonna be a very
good Christmas. I can feel it.

Yeah. Me, too.

So, tell us everything about LA.

Oh, everything's great.

We just had this
big agency gig last night

and it was a ton of fun,
big success.

So, yeah, it's good.

And Liam, how is he?

Liam, he's-he's fine.

He certainly is.

Oh, God, honey.

Oh!

Honey, I'll get some club soda,
it'll come right off.

Um, jeez.

- Oh, no.
- Your sweater.

- Ooh, I love that smell.
- Me, too.

Vinny, Pearl? Good to see you.

- Oh, my!
- Hi.

Is this Ashley all grown up?

- Yes. Thank you.
- Welcome home. Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

Let's go now
before your ma catches us.

Vinny, excuse us, we have
a tree to sort out. Yeah?

I'm telling you,
the difference is incredible.

We're no longer a Monterrey
pine family.

From here on out, it's only
Scotch pines for the Seevers.

You're really movin' up
in the world. Huh, dad?

I think so, I think so.

But I need your help
in convincing

the rest of the family
to spend some extra cash

because they're still
stuck in the past.

Uh, well, I'll do my best.

I know you will, honey.
I know you will.

Should we look
in here?

Uh-huh.

This one's small,
but I like her shape.

Hey, Winston? Come look!

You see what I'm sayin'?

I gotta diffuse this
before it gets out of hand.

You pick our perfect
Scotch pine.

Okay.

This Monterey pine is a bargain.

That tree,
i-it's got naked spots

all over its northern expanse, honey.

All right, thanks, Cliff.

I'll, uh, meet you back
at my truck.

Hello?

Wait, who is back there?

Wait...

Ashley?

Grant, hi... Wow!

It's so good to see you.
What's it been, like, ten years?

Oh, my... Uh, must be.

Yeah, hey.
It's really good to see you.

Oh, my gosh!
What are you doin' in the trees?

Oh, that. I was just getting
a closer look.

I'm a real stickler

when it comes to finding
that perfect Scotch pine.

You know, uh...
Yep! Hey, just like I thought,

no, uh, squirrels,
so we'll take her.

Box it up, please. Thanks.

Uh, you have a little somethin'
on your...

Oh, i-it's designer.

But, um, what are you
doing home for Christmas?

I thought your parents moved to
San Antonio last year.

- Uh, they did.
- Yeah.

Yeah, but I'm actually
not gonna see 'em this year.

- Which is a major bummer.
- Hmm.

But, uh... No, I,
uh, moved back recently.

You moved back to Harmony?

Yeah, I did.
I know, crazy, right?

Yeah. I mean,
you're so close to LA now.

- I am. Yeah.
- Yeah.

Uh, anyway, I should, uh,
probably go pay for my tree.

Oh, yeah, I should probably go
find my family.

Yeah, so, uh, you know,
I really wanna catch up, though.

Are you, like, free tonight
for dinner?

Yes! I mean, I think so.

Probably, I... If I have
something, I could just

move some things around.
No biggie.

Okay. Well, great.
I have so much to tell you.

You know, I feel like
I've been living in our past.

Really?

Wow, I mean...

Yeah, something about being
back here I think

makes me feel that way, too.

Okay. Well, that's great.

Um, uh, yeah,
so can I pick you up at the...

Where are you staying?
Pick you up, like, 7:00?

Yeah, sure, cool.
I'm at my parents' house.

Same place. Do you remember?

I do. Of course.

Okay. Um, well,
I will see you then.

See you then.

Looking forward to it,
um, Ladybug.

You too, Mr. Hines.

I mean, can you
believe it? It's a date, right?

He is picking you up
for dinner?

- That sounds promising.
- Yeah.

I mean,
it's like a dream come true.

And he moved all the way
from across the country.

It's better than
a dream come true.

Liam, this is
a Christmas miracle.

I'm happy for ya, Ash.

- Thank you.
- I hope it is a date.

But maybe, uh,
temper your expectations

on the off chance that he just
wants to catch up as friends.

Liam, I really need you to be

the wind beneath my wings
right now.

I mean, he even remembered
my nickname.

Only my closest loved ones
call me "Ladybug,"

and he remembered.

Uh, okay, fine.

It is most definitely a date
and he's probably gonna show up

in a horse-drawn carriage
or something.

Thank you.
That's exactly what I needed.

So, how's home?
Are my plants still alive?

Um, you know,
it's only been a day,

but somehow I've managed
to kill them all.

Even the succulents.

Oh, it's fine,
it's not as exciting

as your romantic rendezvous,
however, which you should

definitely be prepping for
instead of talking to me.

You're so right.
I was just being polite.

Anyways, I gotta go.

Okay. Go have fun.

And let me know how it goes,
all right?

Okay.
I'll tell you everything after.

Thanks, Lee. Bye.

Come on, dad. It looks great.

I mean, nobody can tell
the difference.

- I certainly can't.
- Well, I can.

Oh, honey.

Oh, come on now.
I tell you what.

I promise, next year, we will
spring for a Scotch pine.

I'll even let you
get it flocked.

- Okay.
- It's not what you think.

- Oh.
- I'll get it.

I'll get it.

Whoa, someone threw on
a designer dress

and smells like...
winter spice?

Honey, I thought we were
decorating the tree tonight.

Oh, uh, I'm sorry, mom.
I actually made plans.

- Can we do it tomorrow?
- Well, I suppose so.

But, what plans? With who?

Well, I don't wanna jinx it
and he's waiting outside,

but I will give you every
single detail later. I promise.

- Love you.
- Love you, too.

Love you, honey.

Wow.

- Hi.
- Hi.

- You look great. Uh-huh.
- Oh, thank you. Um...

Y-you do, too.

- Thank you.
- Um, shall we?

- Yeah.
- Okay.

So, what now?

- What...
- We spy from the window. Duh!

- Is that Grant Hines?
- It looks like it.

Oh, my goodness.
It's like prom all over again.

Only now he drives
a better car.

Hmm.

Okay, don't peek.

All right.
You're gonna love this.

All right... Ready?

All right. Open.

Oh, it's the Lodge.

- I missed this place.
- Right?

I've been doin' some work on it.

- You wanna see?
- Yeah.

Come.

Wow!

You have really
spruced this place up.

I mean, the flowers
and the candles...

Yeah, it'll be for all
the weddings and anniversaries,

and romantic retreats
this place'll bring.

Yeah, it's very romantic.

- Here, come sit.
- Okay.

- Oh! Thank you.
- Yeah.

So, I mean,
how've you been?

I mean, from what I see online,

yeah, you've been, like,
killing it.

Thank you.

Oh, yeah. I wish someone had
told me how hard it would be

to start my own business from
nearly nothing, but it's good.

I mean, okay, success aside,

how are things going
according to the life plan?

Don't tell me you forgot.

In school,
you had a list of things

that you wanted to accomplish
by the time you were 30.

- Oh, my gosh! Yeah.
- Yeah.

I can't believe
you remember that.

I have not thought about that
in so long.

Of course,
and it was exhaustive.

I mean, you had to start
your own business,

have a Lex SUV,
a mansion in the Valley.

Married, three kids...

Two dogs and a... Oh.

And... Wait, it was a closet
with a--

- Shoe station.
- Yeah, a shoe station.

Yup. [laughs] Yeah.

So tell me, how are we doing?

Ah, well, um, cute house
in the Valley, check.

No husband, no dogs, but I do
have a special spot for shoes.

Wait, so you're telling me
no one has locked up

all this fabulousness yet?

Hm. Okay, well, clearly there's
a lot of foolish guys in LA.

Um, so,
earlier you mentioned

wanting to tell me something?

Yeah,
I'm-I'm reopening the Lodge.

- That was it.
- Oh!

Cool. Yay!

Yeah, after five years
of it being shut down,

we're gonna have
a grand opening in the new year.

Great, awesome.
That's...

I, I'm really glad that I can be
here to celebrate that with you.

Yeah, me too.

Yeah.

Yeah, I-I know that
we have a lotta history...

and I'm just, I'm really glad
that you reached out

over social media to,

you know, so we can stay,
sort of, friends.

And I know how much
this place means to you.

And we have a lotta
good memories here

and maybe tonight
we could make some more.

I'd love that.

So would we.

- We?
- Dinner's ready!

Ashley!

Come here, Ladybug!

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

Oh!

- Oh! Oh! Oh, thank you.
- Mwah! You're so beautiful!

Oh!

Ashley, this is,
this is Bella Vega.

Hi! When Grant told me
that I'd get to meet you,

I got so excited.

You're the only person on
the planet that knows about us.

Because of work, we had to keep
everything private.

- You know what I mean?
- Okay.

- Anyway, you guys ready to eat?
- Yes.

Um, it's only Thai food.
I hope you like Thai.

It's the only thing that's
open in a ten-mile radius.

This looks amazing, Bella.
Thank you.

- You promise?
- Yes. Okay, should we eat?

Um...

I actually, uh,
don't think that I can.

- Wait, a-are you okay?
- She doesn't look so good.

No, yeah. Um, uh,
I think I've g...

I think I've gotta go. Sorry.

Uh, sorry. It was lovely,
a lovely, lovely night.

Um, so... Oops!
So great to meet you, Bella.

Can we at least
give you a ride?

No, no-no.
- No? Uh...

I'll, I'm gonna call a car,
it's fine.

Thank you.
Sorry, thank you.

They must think
I'm crazy.

You're not crazy.

I bought him
an edible arrangement

from his favorite bakery

in anticipation of
our rekindled romance.

Okay. You're a little crazy.

But, that's still cute.

So, you said he has
a girlfriend now, yeah?

Yeah, a super sweet,
super nice, super famous one.

Have you seen how many followers
Bella Vega has?

I mean,
they pay her to be pretty

and to promote pretty things.

It's literally her job.

So, wait a minute, what about
all those flirty messages

that you and Grant were sendin'
each other all this time?

Well, apparently, they were just
platonic winky face emojis.

Ashley, listen, I know
you may feel bad right now,

but this is gonna pass.

And, honestly,
Grant can't be that great

if he's gonna choose her
over you.

She may be amazing online,
but you're amazin' everywhere.

- All the time.
- Thanks, Lee.

You always know exactly what
to say to make me feel better.

I wish you were here.

Hey, you say the word,
I'm there.

Well, whatever that word is, yes.

I guess I should turn in, though.

Thanks for talking.

- Night, Lee.
- Yeah, uh, night, Ash.

Coming! Coming! Coming!

Coming!

- Hey!
- Hi!

- Morning, sleepy head.
- Good morning.

Hey, um, sorry
it's so early.

Um, we just, we wanted to check
on you after last night.

Yeah, we were so worried,
we felt badly

and we just wanted to pop by
and see how you're doing.

Yeah, fine. Totally good.

Sorry about that.
Yeah, I'm fine.

I mean, do you have any idea
what made you so sick?

Yeah, uh, um, it was...

altitude poisoning.

Oh, yeah.
Altitude poisoning.

- Uh-huh, you know.
- Yeah. I've heard of that, yeah.

Yeah, I think my body just
needed some time to readjust,

you know, the elevation and--

Okay, well, we, um, wanted
to see how you're doing,

and I brought some
freshly-squeezed juice.

Some tonic to just flush that
altitude poisoning right out.

Wow! Thank you.

That's actually... That's very
sweet of you. Thank you.

But you guys should go.
Yeah, I'm...

Uh, let me grab my coat.

I just don't wanna
get you sick, you know?

We don't wanna inf-infect you.

From, uh, altitude poisoning?

Well, you know,
you can't be too safe.

Oh, yeah.

But thank you so much
for stopping by.

- Okay.
- So much.

- I really appreciate it.
- Hi.

Did one of you order the Happy
Holiday basket of baked goods?

No. I don't think so. I think
you have the wrong address.

But thank you very much.
Have a great day.

- You sure?
- Yes.

The address matches
for a "Ashley Seever?"

That's you!

Description reads,

"Thanks for the perfect date,
Mr--"

Oh, hi! How are you?

Yes. I f...
Sorry, I totally forgot.

- Um, do you want me to...
- Please.

Thanks. Okay, bye.
Have a great day.

I had a date yesterday
before I came over.

And I totally...
Yeah, so good.

So that's why you were
dressed up like that last night.

- Yeah.
- That's totally why.

It-it looks like it went great.

- Mm...
- Um... who's the lucky fella?

Um...

- Uh, hi.
- Hey.

- Liam?
- Oh, hello, everybody!

- Hi!
- This weather.

Ashley, look who I ran into
in town.

Yeah.

Um... Liam.

Um, guys,

meet my boyfriend Liam.

- Your boyfriend?
- You sneaky guy!

- We had no idea.
- Yeah.

Oh, and... this is for you,

my wonderful,
wonderful boyfriend.

- Wow! Yum!
- Yeah. Uh-huh. Yum.

I just wanted to come up
and spend Christmas

with you guys, so... surprise!

Well, we're so glad you're here!
Welcome, welcome!

- Yeah.
- He's handsome!

Uh-uh... I, uh...
Liam, I'm Grant.

I... um, I went to school
with, uh, Ashley.

Uh, you... Thanks.

- Yeah, nice to meet you.
- Yes. Yeah.

Well, I'm Bella Vega. It's
very nice to meet you, Liam.

- Ooh!
- You too, I...

You're cute.

Well, this has been great.

Thank you so much
for stopping by.

- Appreciate it.
- Uh, sorry.

Please, drink that tonic.
It'll flush it right out.

- I will. Yes.
- Okay?

Here you go.
Good to see you.

Honey, take that around.

- Bye.
- Bye. See ya.

- Okay.
- Bye now.

So, what is going on here?

Um, I would love to tell you
all about it,

but first, I think I need
to talk to my boyfriend.

- Right, babe?
- Right, babe.

- Okay.
- Mm-hmm.

Hm.

I've always liked him for her.

- Let's have breakfast. Shall we?
- Hm...

Oh, my gosh!
We're dating now?

Yeah, I don't know.
I panicked.

I mean, he asked
about the basket

and I couldn't tell him
it was for him.

That would've sent me down
a whole shame spiral.

And then it's like you
magically appeared

and saved the day.

So, why did you
magically appear?

Well, I knew that you felt bad

and, you know, after I talked
last night, I felt awful, and,

and you said, whatever the word
is, you were sayin' it,

so I drove up
first thing this morning.

It's actually really nice.

Um, who's watching my plants, though?

Oh, Katrina's taking care
of them.

- Okay.
- Wait.

Now will you focus, please?

- Oh, yeah.
- Oh, yeah.

Thank you.

- Focusing.
- All right.

- So, we've lied to Grant...
- Uh-huh.

His girlfriend
and your entire family

about bein'
in a fake relationship.

- Yeah.
- Wait.

What are we supposed
to do now?

Well, I don't know,
but I would

rather have altitude poisoning

than explain this to Grant. So...

Hm. Well, maybe we can fake
a breakup.

No! That's too suspicious.

And, plus, I don't wanna
spend Christmas

being fake sad
about a fake breakup.

Mm, yeah, and your family
is kind of hosting me

for the holiday,
so that'd be sort of awkward.

- Right.
- Maybe I could just leave again.

No, I don't want you to leave.

I like having you here.

Which, I guess, leaves us

with only one option.

- You want us to keep pretending?
- Just through Christmas.

All we have to do is spend
a bunch of time together,

which we already do,
and sprinkle in some hugs

and some hand holdings,
and when we get back to LA,

we can stop pretending,
and in another few months

I'll just call 'em and I'll
be, like, "Oh, hey, we broke up.

Sorry."

You know how crazy
this all sounds, right?

I know. But did you see my mom's
face when I blurted it out?

She was so excited.

Trust me,
this is the right thing.

Okay. Fine.

I will be your fake boyfriend
for Christmas.

Really?

Yeah, sure, I mean, I already
know all things Ash,

so how hard could it be, really?

Maybe a little harder
than you think.

Bella already invited us
to go ice skating tonight.

Okay. I mean,
that's pretty casual, right?

It's couples' night on the ice.

Okay. Perfect.

Um, I guess we better put on
a good show then, huh?

Yeah.

- I forgot how good you were.
- Hey, guys.

- You did?
- I did.

Well, here, let me remind you.

- Ooh!
- Guys? Guys, guys, guys?

- Oh!
- Aah!

We need to take a breather

in-in case I break something.

- So... Whoa! Okay. Okay. Okay.
- Okay.

Spicy eggnog malts on me!

Okay. Do you, uh,
do you want some help?

- No. No, I'm good.
- You sure?

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, you sit.
No, no, skate, skate.

- Yeah, I'll go. I'll go.
- Go skate. Aah!

You can't carry them all
on your own anyways.

I'll be back. You boys behave.

Okay, come on. Easy.

Whoa!

Okay.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

Mm!

This is so good!

How many calories
do you think are in--

Don't ask. Just drink.

He's really great
on the ice, huh?

Yeah.
Yeah.

Can I, uh, can I ask
for your opinion on something?

Yeah.

So, uh...

you and Ashley, huh?

How long has that been going on?

Oh, uh...

it's, uh, pretty fresh.

I mean, we've been working
together for years,

but, uh... it honestly feels

like we've just started
this relationship.

Ashley always had a way
of keeping things fresh.

Oh, that's right.

She mentioned that you guys

went out in school, yeah?

We did.

"Mr. and Mrs. Harmony High."

- Ah.
- She was really something.

So, I know Grant and I
have only been together

for, like, three months,

but I kinda feel
like there's something off.

Does that make sense at all?

Off how?

Well, I feel like,
like we're not moving.

Like we're always toeing
the line between dating

and being in a relationship,
you know?

But you came out here
for Christmas, so...

Oh, yeah, right.

But, you know, and partially
that's my fault.

You see, my publicist, um,

doesn't think that being
in a relationship

is good for my brand.

And so, even the dating
has been... quiet.

But what am I supposed to do

when he just up and moves
back here?

Like, I literally have to force
my way

into spending Christmas
with him,

especially, since my family
lives in Tokyo.

Tokyo?

Yeah, that's why
I speak fluent Japanese.

Can I ask you a weird question?

Uh... why exactly did
you and Ashley breakup?

Well, trust me,
neither of us wanted to.

But I got accepted in Boston,
and she got accepted over in LA.

We talked about doin'
the long-distance thing,

but, I was just more
of a realist.

We came to a point where
it wasn't realistic anymore.

Anyway, I'm sorry.

I don't mean to just unload

all of this on to you,
I just...

I have nobody else to talk to.

And, um, you know, you and Grant
tick pretty close.

Yeah. Honestly, anytime.

I totally understand
how you feel.

He can be frustratingly sweet
and charming.

And that can make it hard
to tell

where you stand with him sometimes.

Right. I know.

It's just, I feel
like I'm pushing too hard.

You know, maybe if I just,
I step back?

Maybe you should.

Yeah.

I mean, this whole party thing
was my idea.

I am literally volunteered
to spend Christmas Eve

hosting this-this big event
just to impress him.

Well, do you still think
it'll work?

Maybe. I don't know.

But what I do know is
that I am in way over my head.

- Oh.
- Yeah.

And all I really have
is a great guest list.

And I do mean great.

I mean, I have a ton

of influencer friends
who are gonna

plug this place
until it's booked up

at least a year in advance.

But, wrangling everything else
feels like a real rodeo.

- Yeah.
- All right.

All of you holiday lovebirds,

it's seven oh seven,
and you know what time that is.

It's time for a ho-ho-ho...

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

So, grab that special
Mr. and Ms. Claus

in your life
and head to the rink.

- Oh, look.
- Hi!

Whoa! Whoa-whoa!

Ladies, you heard the DJ Santa.

No, it's a hard pass for me.

I'm still enjoying my malt.

Yeah, I need to take a break, too.

I've nearly fallen three times,

and those guys up there
keep laughing at me.

But why don't you go skate
with Grant?

Hey-yo, Ladybug,
game if you are.

Ooh!

- Bye!
- Okay.

Okay, come on. Oh!

It's been a while
since we did this.

Yeah. We used to skate circles
around every other couple.

Hey, I think we still got it.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

Come on.

Aren't they cute?

It's, uh, real cute.

Oh, yeah.

Thanks again
for inviting us tonight.

- That was so fun.
- Oh, of course.

I just, I hope that we get
to hang out again

before the holidays.

Oh, I was thinking...

I don't know if Grant told you,

but I'm an event planner,

so I'm sure you'll have great
plans for the Christmas party.

But if there's anything
that you need help with,

just let me know.

- Ashley, are you serious?
- Yes!

I love the Lodge. I have
so many great memories there.

And, plus, my job is awesome,

so it doesn't even
feel like work.

Hm, I guess that means
you're gonna be spending

a lot more time there, too.

Oh, wow, yeah, I didn't even
really think about that.

I'm so excited! Yes!
I think the more, the merrier.

Uh, if Grant's okay with it.
Are you okay?

Uh, yeah, sure! I mean,
I think it's a great idea.

Plus, we'll get
to relive all those

old memories
like we'd hoped.

Only, now, we'll go
make some them all new.

So, it's settled.
We'll come by tomorrow

and get a jump on things.

- Yeah. Yeah.
- Yeah.

Everything's...
I know, it's gonna be great!

This was supposed to be
a holiday break.

I just don't understand why.

What do you mean?

Grant is my friend
and this is important to him.

Not to mention, we literally
do this for a living.

Okay.

You sure that's all?

There is nothing else
prompting this

saccharine, sweet proposal?

Because yesterday you couldn't
wait to escape the two of them.

I don't know
what you're getting at,

but just because
you're my fake boyfriend,

it does not mean you can
be fake jealous.

I am not jealous.

- No? Okay.
- Fake or otherwise.

I just don't want you
to make a giant mistake.

- Oh. Thank you.
- Wait a minute.

You're not actually thinking
that you still have a chance

with him now that you know
he's taken, right?

Kind of taken.

Bella said it herself.
They're very loosey-goosey.

Plus, you saw how he was
with me tonight.

Clearly, there's still
something there.

Wow! Um...

You are really wrapped up

in all this nostalgia,
aren't you?

Spirit of the season.

Holiday romance. Plus, I mean,
around every corner.

Wow, you're really making this

into something it's not,
aren't you?

And it's not any of
your concern.

Okay. If you say so.

Just don't come runnin' to me

when this all blows up
in your face.

Oh, I won't, because
the only thing blowing up

will be my phone
after we send out the invites.

- Hm. Great.
- Great. Good.

- Fine.
- Fine.

Wait, wait, can I get some
marshmallows in this?

Thank you. It's good.

Cheers!
Yay! Holiday party!

I cannot thank you guys enough

for helping me with this.

Oh, of course.
We're happy to.

And I gotta say, this place
is pretty spectacular.

Oh, my gosh, you should've seen
the Lodge in its prime.

I mean, this place
was the staple of Harmony.

When Grant and I were dating,
we threw some

pretty amazing parties here.

We sure did.

I mean, especially
at Christmas time,

sometimes I felt like
the entire town was here.

- Oh.
- I think they were.

Um, anyways,
I was up all night

thinking of ideas for the party,
but I don't wanna step

on anyone's toes,
so why don't we start

with you guys telling me
what you think

needs the most help
and we'll go from there.

Honestly, it's probably
a good question for her,

because she's been
handling the party

and I've been making sure everything

is in order
for the real opening.

You, I'll-I'll...
Okay.

Um...

Well... [stammers] Um...
It's not a lot.

You know, it's, um,
we just, we're just

tying up some loose ends,
so we're...

Okay. Um, like what?

- Yeah, like... Hm?
- Like what?

I told you.
I told you about the guest list.

We have the guest list.
It's a great guest list.

- Perfect.
- Beautiful. Yeah.

- And what else?
- And then, we have the venue.

The venue is...

- Oh, it's great. Yeah.
- Yeah.

So, no decorations or...

- That's it.
- Oh.

Okay.

Well, I mean, this is
like a big, grand opening

Christmas Eve shindig, right?

So, we probably want more

than just your average
household items, right?

I mean, we need to be thinking
bigger here, right?

- Absolutely.
- Okay.

- Absolutely.
- What about food?

- Yeah.
- Do, do you have a caterer?

No. No, we have the restaurant.

So, the restaurant
will handle it. So...

With, uh, less than
a week's notice?

This is their busiest time
of year.

Eight days.
It's not a week.

- Well...
- Yeah.

Luckily, we have Liam,

who is a rock star.

- Fantastic.
- Okay.

Great.
So, music.

Oh, music!
Mus... Yes!

My, um... Okay.

My CrossFit playlist
is literally the jam. Yeah?

So, I was thinking we just plug
that into the speakers

and just let it, like,
rock the space.

It'll fill in beautifully.

- And that could be awesome.
- Mm-hm.

Um, or maybe we could
ask the local DJ Vinnie,

the guy who played at
the ice rink, in the Santa suit.

I mean, don't be fooled
by the hat.

He can really turn it out for
a party. I think he'd be great.

I think that's a, that's a,
that's a great idea.

I think that's a great idea.

- I think it's great.
- I think it's great.

- Okay. Um...
- Great.

And then we can do holiday
Christmas beverages.

We'll need tables, chairs,
place settings--

Maybe we can just take these

tables and move them
to the gray room.

- Love it. Okay.
- Yeah? Cool.

Okay, well, I think that-that's
pretty much it for now, right...

Oh, of course. Theme.

I mean, I'm sure you guys
at least have

a theme already, right?

Yeah, it's Christmas.

Christmas is the theme.

That's fine!
Okay, we'll figure it out.

We have worked
with a lot less before.

- It'll be fine, so...
- Mm-hmm. Yeah.

We have a lot of work to do,
so who wants to go shopping?

- I do. Shop.
- Perfect.

We still have a lot of work
to do, but we really

whipped this place
into shape today.

This place is amazing.

Ashley, thank you so much.

I don't know what would've
happened if she didn't help me.

Ah. And... we now have
our theme.

"Home for the holidays."

That feels good, doesn't it?

It really does.

Reminds me so much
of how my parents

decorated it for the holidays.

That's exactly
what I was going for.

I remember when your parents
had me over for Christmas,

and it just felt
so warm and magical

and it just felt like home.

Uh, well, then...

I think I'm gonna
start cleanin' up.

Gotta get back to your parents.

Ah, Liam, let me help you
with that.

Oh, no, it's fine.
I got it.

No. No, no, no, no.
It's okay. I will help you.

You're such a dear.

- Here you go.
- Thank you.

The place looks really great, Ashley.

It brings back
a lotta memories.

A lot of really good ones, too.

You know, I wish it was spring

because I would love to throw
a party over in that garden.

That was always
my favorite place here.

Oh, mine too.

Do you remember over here...

You know...

right there is where
you and I--

Our first kiss.
Right before prom.

That is not the kind of night
that you forget,

even in our old age.

It's weird, you know?

I know we haven't seen
each other in years, but...

seeing you
back here just

makes me feel, like...

I don't know, just, like,
not a day has gone by,

especially the more
that I see you.

Yeah. I mean, this place is like
a time capsule to the past.

To a place where it kinda feels
like we never really left.

Yeah, well, we certainly really
never stayed and say goodbye.

Oh, well, that's because
I didn't know

we were gonna have one of those.

All right.

Yeah, I-I, um...

I don't know,
it just sorta happened.

I'm sorry for the way
things turned out.

Oh, don't be.
That's life.

Plus, we both turned out okay,
didn't we?

Did we though?

I know, lately, being back here
just makes me...

I don't know. I'm not so sure.

Hey, Grant, can you
come here, please?

- I should...
- Yeah. Go ahead.

Mm...

You have been unusually smiley
the past half hour.

Did something happen
that I should know about?

No.

Okay, but you can't tell anyone.

Grant and I had a moment.

- A moment?
- Uh-huh.

Uh, what does that mean?

I don't know.

There was just a spark
and it was perfect.

- Um, Ash?
- Mm.

You know I care about you, right?

I know what you're going to say.

It's not just my imagination.
He felt it, too.

Okay, then what about Bella?

Oh. Well, she's more friend
than girlfriend,

and they live
in two different states,

and she has no intention
of moving out of New York.

And you have no intention
of leaving LA. So what?

But that's less than
three hours away.

We could make that work
for a while.

Ash...

what if this is just
residual sparks, huh?

I mean, how much do you have in
common with him anymore anyway?

You've been back in his life,
uh, what, a few days

and all of that you know about
him is from his social media.

Okay. Look.

I know you are just
looking out for me,

and I appreciate that,

but please just be happy
for me, once.

You're the one who's always
telling me,

"Don't work so much"
and, "Go out on more dates."

That's what I'm doing. I'm just
giving something a chance.

All right. Fine.
I just don't wanna see you hurt.

Well, thank you,

but I know everything
is gonna turn out perfect.

I can just feel it.

- They're here.
- Good evening, family.

Well, somebody's in a good mood.

Did you buy her something
special for Christmas or what?

Nope.

There's just so much magic
in the air

and joy and peace and love

and all that good stuff.

Can't you feel it?

Hot buttered rum
from Frittella's, am I right?

- All right.
- Yeah...

Not an ounce of alcohol
running through her veins, so...

I'm just happy to be home.

And what a Christmas
it has already been.

Okay. We've been waiting
two days.

Jackets off.
Let's decorate this tree.

Fine.

As the baby of the family,

it's usually my job
to put the star on the top,

but I'll let you do it.

Oh, thank you.

What a kind and considerate
girlfriend you are.

I know.

Liam, Ashley tells me
that you like ornaments

even more than she does,
which I find hard to believe.

I actually do. I mean,
they all tell a story, right?

Oh, reel it in, ornament nerd.

Let's start with these,
shall we?

You seem giddy. I take it
things are going well with Liam.

That's definitely it.

Your mom and I always knew
you'd end up together.

- Okay, dad.
- That's true! It's true!

- Here you go, sweetie.
- Thank you.

Um, wait a minute.

This guy has to have a story.

Oh, that's a Christmas story
for the ages.

Have you ever been fishing
in Cancun at Christmas time?

- Hm.
- Oh, yeah, we have.

So, what do you think,
front and center, or?

- Yeah. That's good.
- All right.

Here we go. Um...

Well, looks like
we get to do it

together this year
after all, huh?

You brought them!
Thank you.

May I?

The poi incident.

Uh...

I love it.

- Thank you.
- Of course.

Your turn.

You always get me ornaments
that remind me of our memories,

so I thought I had to do
the same for you.

- Oh, my gosh, you remember that?
- Mm-hmm.

- Oh!
- A good one.

Yeah.

- The banana...
- Banana...

- It's perfect.
- Mm.

- Thank you.
- Mm-hmm.

Well, what are you waiting for?

Are you gonna kiss
or hang 'em up?

- Uh...
- Yeah.

- Let's see, what do you, what...
- Here?

- I think that's perfect.
- Okay.

What about, um, here?

Yes. Perfect.

- I think it looks pretty good.
- Hmm.

It really does.

- Thank you for helping.
- Kidding me?

I love your family.

It's been great.

Oh, all except for the part

where your dad got really mad

'cause his fish ornament
was too heavy for the branches.

Anyway, I know I kinda crashed
your family Christmas,

but... thank you for having me.

I had a really good time,

you know, despite the whole
"we're dating" thing.

Right. Yes.
But it was great.

And I'm sorry
that we haven't been able

to spend some more
one-on-one time together lately,

but it was nice hanging out,
just us tonight, a little bit.

Having you here makes it feel

like my whole family's
together.

- Oh, goodness.
- Oh, God.

I think that's our cue
to turn in.

- Goodnight, everybody.
- Goodnight.

Yeah, goodnight.

Yeah. I'm pretty tired, too.

Oh, yeah. M-me, too.

Uh, see ya in the morning?

Yeah. Bright and early.

Early. Right.
Goodnight, Ash.

Goodnight, Lee.

You are...

Hey, guys!

- Hey!
- Hey!

- Hi!
- Hi!

We were actually
just out shopping

for the Christmas party.

Oh, yeah? Uh, did you guys
find anything good?

Yeah, actually, we started off
at the grocery store

and stalked upon
all the supplies that we need,

because Liam is making his
famous turkey and dumplings,

and his stellar pumpkin cakes
with butter cream cheese icing.

- Oh!
- Oh, my God.

That sounds amazing. Liam.

And then we picked up a bunch
of goodies from the gift shop

so that we can make swag bags
for all the guests

in which I will then label

"Especially delivered
by Santa himself."

I love the idea!

Oh, m-me too, Ash.
I mean, I love it.

Thank you.
- Um...

Uh, do you guys want to join us?

I mean, we haven't even
ordered yet.

No, no, no, that's okay.

No, no, no, please!
Please, Liam!

Please, Ashley, please, sit!

- Yeah, okay. It'll be fun.
- Sure.

Perfect.

This food is really great.

I gotta say I'm impressed
with old Harmony.

- Yeah.
- Mm. Yeah.

I mean, Ash and I would

come here when we were kids.

It was our fav.

That's great.

Ash and I actually have a spot
like this back home, too.

We basically moved
into the Gwendal

the last year, didn't we?

Mm-hmm.
Uh, it's so good.

And they have this
slightly-charred sourdough

that they bring out for first,
and it is the best bread...

The best bread
you'll ever butter.

Hey!

You said that the first time
we went there four years ago,

and I'll never forget it
'cause it's totally true.

Oh!

Okay, everyone. This next one
is a personal favorite of mine,

so I wanna see all of you
out here

on the dance floor,
you hear me?

Let's get into
that holiday spirit.

What do you think, guys?
Shall we?

Don't tell me you can't dance.

Oh, on the contrary,

I was born a dance TV OG.

- Shall we?
- Are we really gonna do this?

Yes, ma'am, we are.

We're excited.

I'm here at Frittella's
all this week

playing your favorite

But right now, I want you
to cozy up with a partner

and make a wish that those
Christmas miracles come true.

I guess we should.

- It'll look weird if we don't.
- Right.

But how jealous

He's dancing with Bella.

But, maybe a little staged
jealousy will be good for him.

Mm, in that case,

maybe you could lay your head
on my shoulder.

Make him really jealous.

Yeah.

Well, I just,
I think it just comes

so naturally to her.
Don't you?

No, I mean, the truth is,
she had to work really hard

to get where she is,
to be able to pull this off.

I have to work really hard, too.

I-I, run myself ragged
with photoshoots, and premieres

and red carpet events
year round.

Not to mention, I turned down

at least two personal appearances

and at least one closet's worth
full of couture

just to be here with you.

I know. I know, okay?
I-I'm sorry.

I-I didn't mean anything
by that.

It just, it...
that came out wrong.

- Okay?

- Cheers.

- Whoo.
- Mm.

- Mmm.
- Mm.

Mm.

Oh, wow.

Grant, what do you think?

Yeah. No, looks,
uh, looks pretty good.

Mm, no. It's wonderful.

You're just jelly
'cause you can't even bake

ready-made pizza without burning
the edges on every side.

Sorry, Grant, I think that means
it's three to one

and all of these make the cut.

Yeah.

Which means, our menu is done.

Hm, these Christmas Santa
stocking stuffers

are such a cute idea.

I love it.

Yeah.

These beauty supplies
are gonna be a treat.

Your guests will wanna keep
coming back for too.

Nice.

Liam, nice work.

You keep that up
and we'll be done in no time.

Oh, my baby bear,
it's not a race. Okay?

It's okay.

So, this will be
our buffet station,

and with the chairs out,

it will force people to mingle
as they jingle.

- Ooh.
- Wow. Uh, ho.

Nice work, Grant.

Oh.

It's okay.

It's cute.

All right, I think
this is the last one.

Oh, my gosh,
I can't believe your parents

kept all these for so long.

Right! These are perfect
for the party.

Vintage like the Lodge.

Yeah, well,
they're the same ones

they used
when they first opened.

I'm gonna take some of
the empties down to the cellar.

I'll help.

Hm.

What are you doing?

Go ahead.
I'll just be a few minutes.

Are you sure?
It's freezing out here.

Yeah. I'm fine.

I'm still a mountain girl
at heart.

Plus, I got my boots.

All right, Ladybug.

Don't let your wings
freeze shut.

Looks nice, doesn't it?

Even more beautiful
than I remembered.

Ash, I'm not imagining this,
am I?

Imagining what?

I don't know.
I mean, maybe...

Maybe it's just us
both being back here...

or maybe it's me
seeing you with someone else

for the first time
in, like, forever, but...

- No.
- I kind of feel, it's--

I know what you mean,
and I felt it, too.

You do?

I knew you did.

You know, look,
I know our lives went

in different directions when
we were younger, Ash, but...

I mean, it brought us back here.

And I don't know
what that means,

but... I know
how it makes me feel.

Liam calls me Ash.

Grant, it's my fault.

I'm the one that's making you
feel this way.

I was hoping to see you
when I got here.

I was hoping to run into you

and I was hoping
that you'd be single.

But then, I met Bella,
and she's so sweet,

and she's wonderful and--

- But you love Liam.
- No.

I mean, yes, of course,
I love Liam

but I'm not in love with Liam.

I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have done that.

- That-that was...
- Grant?

Um, Bella.
Wait, no, no, no. Bella.

Bella, Bella! Bella!

Bella!

- Listen...
- I don't...

I didn't mean
for any of that to happen.

Grant, Grant, please,
just stop!

Just stop! No!

I saw the way you've been
looking at Ashley lately.

You still have feelings for her

which means, I got really bad
feelings for you.

- Can we just talk about it?
- No!

If you'd just let me
explain what's on.

No! I will not hear
anything you have to say.

Listen, listen, just,
can you please calm down?

Nothing.
No, don't you dare touch me.

I swear to God,
if you touch me...

Bella, just... Bella--
I don't care.

Listen to me.
I'm leaving.

Calm down, okay? Please.
No.

My God, what's wrong with you?

I just wanna talk
about this. Please? Okay...

What's goin' on in there?

Uh, Grant kissed me
in the garden.

I know, I know, okay?
I don't care.

I do not care. Do not.

Where're you gonna go?

Y-you can't just leave
the Lodge.

Just, please just stay.

You are deader than fish!

- Bella, come on. Bella!
- No!

- Can you just listen to me?
- No!

Bella, come on, can you just,
please stay here tonight

until you have somewhere else
to stay?

All right, you can have
the master bedroom

with the big closet,
it's all yours.

You don't even have a plane
ticket till next week.

Where are you gonna go?

There are plenty
of bed and breakfasts out there.

I'm gonna come back tomorrow
to pick up my coats!

Bella, what are you...

Come, just listen to me.

Why did you let him
do that, Ash?

I don't know.

I have to stop her.

So, you're gonna leave?
You're leaving?

I will hear nothing
you have to say. Nothing!

- Bella...
- Bella, wait.

What you saw there
is on me, okay?

Grant never would have kissed me
if I didn't confuse him

into being jealous
of me and Liam.

And I did it on purpose.

I don't understand.

Why would you cheat
on Liam?

He's wonderful.

And why would you try to take
Grant away from me

when you know he's mine?

I didn't cheat on Liam...

because he's not my boyfriend.

The truth is,
we're just friends.

We were just pretending
to go out

so that I wouldn't look like
a fool

in front of the two of you.

It wasn't planned. I just...

I dug myself into a hole

and he was sweet enough
to go along with it.

Grant...

I messed up.

When I first got here,
I thought

maybe you
still had feelings for me,

because I definitely
still had them for you.

And then, you invited me
to dinner and...

I made a mistake.

And when I realized that,
I was mortified.

I shouldn't have let it
get so out of hand. I'm sorry.

No, you knew.

You knew.

You set me up to get hurt

because you thought I was some
silly social media hashtag

without any real feelings.

You two deserve each other.

- Bella, this is--
- Grant, I'm sorry.

Is there anything I can do?

Just go home, Ashley.

Party's off.

Let's go.

- Just get outta here.
- Liam, I can't just go.

I have to do something.

I really think
you've done enough.

I'll be out by the car.

I don't understand
why you have to leave too.

I know you don't.
And that's the problem.

If you have something
to say to me, Liam,

just say it!

Please!

Being here this week...

it's been great.

I've loved to getting to see
all of Harmony.

Being around your family
where you grew up,

but it has also been torture.

When I held you
on the dance floor...

that, that just felt right.

Then I thought

maybe we could be
something more than friends,

maybe you felt it, too, but...

Why didn't you just
tell me that then?

Because I don't wanna be
a backup plan, Ash.

Your second choice, after Grant,
the one that got away.

You're not a backup plan.

You know you mean more to me
than that.

You know you do.

I think we need some time
to cool off.

- I'm leaving in the morning.
- Please don't leave like this.

Maybe when you get back to LA
after the new year,

we can just pretend
that none of this ever happened.

I'm so sorry, sweetheart.

Nobody to blame but myself.

Did you try talking to Grant?

Yeah. He won't respond.

I basically crushed
his whole plan

to have a big grand opening
for the Lodge, so...

Seems like you need
some of my hot cocoa coffee

and a good old-fashioned
Christmas miracle.

Thank you.

Sweetheart, there's got to be

some way to save this party.

It was supposed to be tonight,

and it's kinda hard
to have a party

without a host.

Plus, half the guest list is
just Bella's influencer friends

who are supposed to plug
the Lodge and...

Liam left,
so we don't have food.

I've never seen him look
so disappointed.

You and Liam
will always be friends.

He will forgive you.
I promise.

I think he was right though.

I don't know if
I wanna just be friends anymore.

Did you tell him that?

Well, then, young lady,
I think you've got

some more work to do
before Christmas.

You can't not tell him
how you feel.

I just wish I could take
everything back

and make it right.

Yeah, you'll think
of something.

If you put your mind to it,

there is not a thing

not one thing

that a Seever cannot do.

Especially our little Ladybug.

Well, everything I learned,
I learned from you two, so...

And me.

So, what happened here?
Why all the sad faces?

The little Ladybug's home
for the holidays.

I need happy faces, now.

Come on, y'all heard her.
Smiles up!

"Home for the holidays."

That is our theme.
Oh, my gosh.

Home for the holidays.
I can fix this. I can fix this!

I can fix this.
Thanks a lot.

- Okay, I'm sorry.
- Honey?

- We'll be back.
- Gotta go.

Hey, Bella.

Literally, do not address me
from my good side.

Uh, look.

I know I'm probably
the last person

that you wanna
talk to right now,

but, please just hear me out

before you go back to New York
and I never see you again.

Why would I listen to anything
you have to say?

And how did you find me anyway?

Well, you just posted a selfie
on the town sleigh and...

Wow. Stalker!

Fine.

Just get it over with.

Okay, well, [sighs] look,
I know I screwed up.

Me and Grant kissing,
that's on me.

It wasn't just a kiss.

Ashley, it's clear that Grant
still has feelings for you.

But I don't think he does.
Maybe he thought he did.

But it wasn't real.
It was just a fantasy.

And I know that because
I felt the exact same way.

Yeah?

Well, it still doesn't excuse
what you did.

I know.

But I want you to know that
that was some

insecure little schoolgirl
tryin' to steal Grant back.

Some silly girl that could never
compete with the Bella Vega.

Hmph!

And that girl
is not the real me.

Yeah?

Well...

if you were really dating Liam,

I'd try to steal him from you
just to exact my revenge.

That's fair.

Even though Grant
is totally dead to me.

Bella...

I-I know Grant still cares
a lot for you.

I can see it in the way
that he is with you.

And I know him better
than anyone.

You really think so?

I really, really do.

I mean, I even considered moving
here just to be close to him.

I mean, I think I kind of
already did.

- I just haven't told him yet.
- Oh, good.

Don't throw away your chance
at love over one mistake

that wasn't even
entirely his fault.

Trust me.

What I did cost me
something real with Liam.

Don't make
the same mistake I did.

- What's this?
- A peace offering.

If you still care for Grant,
at all, please consider it.

At least one couple
deserves to be happy.

Anyway, the choice is yours,

but thank you
for hearing me out.

And, Bella,

if I never see you again,
I really am sorry.

And I actually think we would
have made great friends

if I hadn't royally screwed
everything up.

Anyway... Merry Christmas.

Hey, Grant.

Ash, what are you
doing here?

You hired me to do a job
and I intend to see it through.

Ashley, no one's gonna come.

I mean, we haven't given them
any notice.

They will show up.

They'll remember.

Those people love this place

just as much as we always did.

They'll come.
I know that they will.

Look, I haven't forgiven you
for what you did.

And, you know,
I haven't forgiven myself.

You don't have to forgive me
now, or ever.

But don't let the Lodge suffer
for my mistake.

Our mistake.

Our mistake.

Now you should go get ready
before people start showing up

because as much as I love this
mountain man bachelor look,

it's not really appropriate
for the party.

You're ridiculous,
little Ladybug.

So are you, Mr. Hines.

Now go get ready.

You've got a party to host.

I don't know what to say.

I mean, this is all just,
it's amazing.

Well, this place is amazing

and everyone remembered.

But, unfortunately,
I think it might mean

you're gonna have to do this
every year.

Well, there's definitely worse
problems to have.

It looks like some of Bella's
influencer friends came.

I wish she was here to see this.

I mean, this was
originally her idea.

Finally getting the credit
I'm due?

Bella.

I'll let you two catch up.

Wait, how did you...

I didn't think
I'd see you again.

I wasn't planning on it.

But Ashley did pay me a visit
and she told me everything.

And she said
that I would be stupid

if I let you off the hook
that easily.

- She did?
- She did.

Well, I'm happy
that you're here.

I just, I didn't want you
to leave.

And I was...

It was just in my head,
and I was consumed with--

No, I know, I know, and I'm
sorry, I've been waffling abou--

You know what,
it wasn't your fault.

No, no.
I spoke to my publicist

and I told her

that I don't want to keep
my feelings a secret anymore.

But I'm telling you,
I am not moving here.

- Okay.
- But I will stay in town.

And help you until you get this
beautiful place up and running.

- You will?
- Yeah.

I will.

Under one condition.

Okay, what's that?
Name it.

I want you to teach me
how to ice skate

like you did with Ashley,
'cause it was so dreamy!

All right. Deal.

- Mm.
- Mm.

- Whoo.
- Ooh.

Cute lights.

Eating cake on the clock.

Hm.

What are you doing here?

Well, I almost went home...

until I realized
that I was driving away

from the only person that I
wanted to spend Christmas with.

And how did you know
I would be here?

Interestingly enough,
Bella told me.

Did she?

Texted me a picture
of the invite actually.

Sorry, I know that
I'm not technically invited,

but, hey, crashin' anyway.

Liam, when you tried
to tell me

how you felt
when we were dancing...

and probably countless
other times...

I just...

I didn't realize.

Same.

I think it was always there.

We just didn't see it.

Well, that's okay.

Because now we do.

I have some good news.

- Yeah?
- Mm-hmm.

Most of the people in the town
still think we're together,

so if you still wanted
to come to the party,

you could probably attend
as my fake boyfriend.

Huh.

- I could do that.
- Mm.

Or I could, I don't know, maybe
come in as your real boyfriend.

I think that could be arranged.

- Yeah?
- Hm.

Merry Christmas, Ash.
