-I have an idea.
Go with me.

-Okay.

-We leave the Christmas
decorations up all year long.

That way, we avoid
the Christmas sprint.

-I like it.

I think other people might
find it... questionable.

-How did we get so far behind?

-Uh work, kids, life.

-We don't even have
a Christmas tree.

It's a week until Christmas.

-We'll get a tree.

-I haven't done any shopping.

-There's plenty of time
for shopping.

-Yeah.
-Yeah.

-Okay, I think it's done.
That looks great.

-Yeah.
-Good job.

-Now we'll do the inside

-We gotta do the inside?

-Yeah, think of it
as our quality time

-I'll take what I can get.

[sighs]

-Our wise buddies.
-Okay.

That is a good look on you.
Holding a baby.

-[laughs] You're funny

[laughs]

-Oh...

-Hi Mr. & Mrs. Parsons.

-Hi Mom. Hi Eric.

-Hi!
-Hey.

How was your last day
of school before break?

-Good! Every class had to sing
a different Christmas carol.

-Yeah, we got "Hark
the Herald Angels Sing"

which has to be
the weirdest song ever

-Yeah, why is there
a Christmas song

about a singer named Harold?

-I do know a bus driver named
Harold who hums

-Harold Ramis!
He was in old movies.

Eric, did he sing?

-I don't know but you know
who does sing?

Harold Styles.

-That's Harry.

-Right.

-How's about Harold Belafonte?

-Also Harry.

-Does anyone want to help
me decorate?

-Yeah.

-Lovely.

-Mmhmm.

-I come bearing good news
from the CCCC.

-Oh?

The Christmas Coalition
on Chocolate Cake?

-Nope.

Although I do love
chocolate cake.

-Me too.

-Chamber of Commerce
Christmas Committee.

-Hmm.

That was my next guess.

-Mmhmm.

In keeping with our tradition
of record-breaking,

Brookswood will attempt to wrap
the most gifts in one hour.

-We have a tradition
of record-breaking?

-Brookswood is home to
the longest wooden wharf

in North America.
-Oh.

-Yeah, we're totally
record breakers.

-And we're going to break
another one this year!

The fine folks at Guinness
World Records

are going to be here Christmas
Eve to make it official.

-Wow, that is amazing.
We'll help spread the word.

-Great. Love to hear it.

You guys have a good evening.

-[Marissa laughs]

-I should probably run.

See you, Chucky.

-You let Amy call you Chucky?

-Doesn't sound so mean
when she says it.

-You know, Charlie,
I think I have

some Guinness World Record books
back in the reference section

if you want to have a look.

Wow.

-Yeah.

-A month ago calling him Chucky
would have caused a meltdown.

You think he's over
the whole name thing?

-I don't know. Maybe.

Yesterday he gave me
an unprompted hug.

-Wow.

-Yeah.

-He is definitely
full of surprises

-You know who else used to
give me unprompted hugs?

-No. Who?

-Oh.

-Yeah, yeah.
-Mhm.

-You know, hugs are
a two-way street

-I know. I know.

-Did you know that the world's
longest mustache

is 14 feet long?

-Whoa.
-Wow.

-How does he get around
with that thing?

-He "mustache it"
in his pocket

-[laughs] I set you up.
I totally set you up.

Alright let's light
this thing up.

Come on.

-[all together]
Three! Two! One!

-This is really nice!

-[Marissa] It's making
cookie time!

Ooh, look at you.

You are getting quite good
at this.

And then we have one batch
to go into the oven.

-Cut out.
-[breathing heavily]

-Oh hey, don't worry about it.
Look, look, look, look.

All we gotta do is add flour.
There we go.

Remember they don't have
to be perfect,

they just have to taste good.

-Smells good in here!

There you go.

-Alright why don't you guys go
and pick out a game,

and then I'll finish up
in here, okay?

-Alright, so, what game do you
want to beat us at tonight?

-Uh, nothing with dice or cards.

-[Eric] No dice. Okay.

-[Charlie] I'm just not
a gambling man, so...

-[Eric] Right. I like that
about you, Charlie.

-[Charlie] Thank you.

[emotional music]

-[Charlie] Mom, are you coming?
We're playing Jenga.

-Okay, give me five minutes
to clean up the kitchen.

-[Charlie] Okay.

-Ah!

Ooooohhhh!
Okay, okay it's Mom's turn.

Okay.

Alright, alright, alright.

Oh, no!

-[Marissa] I was so close!

-I sort of feel like I've been
here before

-Yeah, because he's beaten me
in every single Jenga game

since he was a little kid.

-You do have quite the talent
there, kiddo.

I can barely balance
my check book.

[Marissa laughs]

-Ew, what is that smell?

[beeping]

-Cookies! Oh!
-Oh!

-[smoke alarm sounds]
-[Marissa] Ahh!

-Oh, yeah, that's
uh... those are burnt.

Oof.

[smoke alarm beeping
continuously]

-Okay, okay. Alright buddy.

Here we go, here we go.
Hey, hey, hey. Shhhh.

Hey. Okay, okay, there you go.
Breathe.

Breathe. Breathe.

-Breathe.
-[alarm stops]

-It's gone. It's off. It's off.
It's off. You're okay.

You're okay.
You're okay.

I'm so sorry.
That was my fault.

-Charlie, did you order
extra crispy,

'cause these might be perfect.

-[laughs] It's a good thing
Eric likes them extra crispy.

And hey, we have two
other batches

and we can decorate them
tomorrow, okay?

You gotta go to bed and dream
about all the things

that you want for Christmas.

-I wanna....
I want to break a world record.

-Oh, buddy, I have no doubt that
you're going to do that someday.

-I want to do it now.
For Christmas.

-It's good to have goals,
Charlie,

but very few people actually
break a world record.

-Eric's right, sweetie.
It takes a lot of...

a lot of time, a lot of work.

Maybe it's something that we
can try and do next Christmas.

-Lights out in 15, okay bud?

Hey.

Are you okay?

-Do you think my real dad
is going to come here

for Christmas this year?

-Honestly?

I wouldn't get my hopes up.

-Last time he came here was
on Christmas Eve, remember?

-I do, yeah.
It was a long time ago.

-But maybe this year
he'll show up.

I wrote him a bunch of emails.

-Has he responded?

-No, but... you said
he's a busy guy.

-Yeah, he's a busy guy.
He is.

But you know what?

I'm going to be here,
and Eric's going to be here,

and we are going to have
ourselves a great Christmas.

[laughs]

-I'm going to write to him
and tell him that someday

I'm going to break a Guinness
World Record.

-That sounds like a really
good plan,

but for now you gotta go to bed.
Okay?

Lights out. Yes.

Alright. I love you so much.

Get some sleep.

Good night.

-Hmm.

-What's wrong?

-Charlie.

Every Christmas he thinks
his Dad is going to come

just like he did that one time.

He's been emailing.

-But he hasn't heard back.

-Of course not.

-You know, Charlie can always
call me Dad.

-I know that's something you've
wanted forever and I do too.

But, Charlie needs a place
to put each label

and Peter's his
biological father,

and I think calling you Dad
just... just confuses him.

-So for now I'm just...

Eric.

-No, you're not just Eric.

I think we need a date night.

-Oh.

I like that idea.

-Tomorrow?

-What about Charlie?

-I can see if Amy and Jane
can come over.

-Sounds good.

-So... you and Eric
are going out.

-That is the plan!

Amy and Jane are going
to come hang with you.

-Yes!
-[laughs]

-Are you two going to... kiss?

-Well that is none of your
beeswax [laughs]

But, I mean,
he's my husband

so if we want to kiss
then maybe we will.

-Ew.

-[laughs] Got it.

You know what, Eric is...

he's always there for you,
right?

Have you thought any more
about maybe calling him Dad?

-I... I don't know.
It just doesn't feel right.

-Okay. I don't ever want you
to do anything

that doesn't feel right,

but if you ever decide to, I...
I think he'd like it.

-What about my real Dad?

-What about him?

-Did you love him?
Like, before you had me?

-Of course.

Yeah.

But you know, we were
really young

and Dad was always busy
with work, you know.

He's a really ambitious man.

-Did he leave
because I'm autistic?

-What?

Oh honey, no, no.
Absolutely not.

Your Dad loves you so much,
and you should know

that you were born a product
of nothing but love.

So, so much love.

-Maybe, maybe when I break
a world record,

he'll come watch me.

I'm going to write to him.

-[humming Christmas tune]

-Oh hey, there you are.

-Barrister Hartman.

How's the busiest lawyer
in town doing?

-Well, I'm working on
a Saturday,

that should give you
some indication.

Is Marissa around?

-No, she's at home with Charlie.

-She left early yesterday.

I forgot to give her these
public records for her to file.

-I will make sure
she gets them.

-Thanks.

I don't know what I would do
without your wife.

She's the best employee
I've ever had.

-She's the best wife
I've ever had

-Hm.

-I mean she's the only one,
but still.

-Sounds like we should both
spoil her for Christmas.

-Actually, I am taking her out
on a date tonight.

-Oh, that's great.

She's been saying you two
haven't had

enough alone time lately.

You don't want things
to get stale.

-Right, no, nobody wants stale.

-No, because then they end up
seeing me in divorce court

-Mmhmm.

-Not that you two are there.
-No.

-I'm just saying, you know,

it can get like that
for some people.

-I get it.
Don't let things get stale.

-Right.

I'm going to go before I get
myself into more trouble.

-Okay.

-Enjoy your evening.
-You too.

Hmm.

-This will be fun tonight,
kiddo.

-Hi!

-Hello!
-Hi.

Oh, this handshake!

[laughs]

-Come on, we made
Christmas cookies

-Hi Amy!

-Hi Jane!

-Hi!

-Oh, thank you so much
for doing this.

-Oh, it's our pleasure.

We love spending time
with Charlie.

-Oh, he loves spending
time with you.

-Well that's good.
-[both laugh]

Is it... is it weird

that I'm nervous for a date
with my husband?

-No. I think it's great
that you're nervous.

It means that you still care.

And gosh, you look stunning,
as usual.

-Thank you.

Well we won't be out late,

and just call me if
you need something.

-I won't need anything.
Just go, have fun.

-Bye!
-Bye!

I'm going to eat
all the cookies!

-Uh, Gary, I'm closing up.

You're good.

-Wow you look like
a million bucks.

-Thank you, Gary.

-Yes, and thank you Gary,
for stealing my line.

-See you tomorrow.

-Have a great night

-Gary's actually wrong, you
don't look like a million bucks.

Guess he forgot inflation,

so you like two million
and one billion dollars.

-Mhm.

-Cheesy?

-A little. But I liked it.

You don't look so bad yourself.

-Well ,thank you.

Oh, I got you something.

-You did not need to get me...
How romantic!

-Really?

-So my boss came by.

-She did.

We had a nice chat and she
gave out free marital advice.

-Oof.

Coming from her I can
only imagine.

-Well, it's nothing
that wasn't true.

-Look at us.
-Mhm.

-We're going on a date.
-Look at us.

[deep inhale]

-Hey, what are you doing?

-Sniffing this tree.

Come try, it's like an instant
whiff of Christmas.

-I like our fake tree.

-You don't know
what you're missing.

But I do know what you're not
missing right now.

A shot!

-What if I break the world
record for most free throws

made in a row?

-If you really want to break
a world record,

it should be something
that's more you.

-More me?

-Yeah, you're awesome.

It should be something
just as awesome.

the record.

That'll be cool, right?

-I want to break a record
on my own.

-Well, then um...
I think you should.

Right?

-Absolutely.

Absolutely.

All we have to do is figure out

which record you're going
to break,

and then convince the Guinness
World Records people

to give you a chance.

-Let me get this straight.

You want Charlie to break
a world record?

-Yes.

-Guinness World Records
is going to be in town already,

maybe they can give Charlie
some time

-Listen I can understand
what you're trying to do

but the process took months.
It wasn't easy.

I can't use my connections

for every kid to try and break
a world record.

-But Charlie's not every kid.
You know this.

He has surpassed all
expectations his entire life,

and he has the most...
beautiful heart.

We're just asking for a shot.

-Please Ben, just point us
in the right direction?

-[sigh]

This is the number of
the adjudicator

who will be at the event
on Christmas Eve.

It'll be up to them whether
or not Charlie gets a shot.

It didn't come from me.

Thank you so much.

-Thank you.

-So what record is Charlie
going to break?

-[in unison] No clue.

-Yeah.
-Yeah, we'll figure it out.

-Hey, what are
you guys doing?

-Making a Christmas tree
out of damaged library books

-He claims there's a method
to his madness.

How did it go with Benjamin?

-Fantastic.

We have the number to the
Guinness World Records judge.

-[gasps]

-Did you decide the record
you want to go for?

-No, but Nana Mary thinks
I'm the world's fastest eater.

-Only with donuts.

I've never seen a kid eat
donuts so fast.

-Well he gets
that from me.

-Hey guys.

I couldn't find any more
green books

so I brought some
red ones too.

-Thanks Gary.

-Hi Gary, yeah, that's...

-Charlie, this is...
this is incredible.

Also, we still didn't put
our tree up.

Is this something

a real tree this year?

a thing with real trees.

You sure?

a Christmas tree?

We're getting a real tree.
You like real trees.

-I do. I just didn't think
you did.

-Come with us?

-Uh, okay!

-Okay. Thank you. Bye!

I... I appreciate you guys
helping, but this is not okay.

You gotta do it in a spiral,
that's how you do it.

It keeps it structurally sound.

It smells like...

the air freshener
in Nana Mary's car.

-Yes, except this is real.

-So many to choose from.
How do we choose?

-You don't choose the tree;
the tree chooses you.

-How does it do that?

-When you're in front
of the right tree,

it's kind of like 'Hallelujah'!
Let's go, Chucky.

-Alright well we'll wait
for the Hallelujah chorus!

You okay?

-I'm fine.

Uh... I was...

I was just thinking about
something your boss said.

-Hillary is a divorce
lawyer okay?

So she's going to be
a tad bit cynical

when it comes to marriage.

-Right, I know.

She just mentioned that you said
we hadn't been spending

that much time together.

-I know.

I did say that.

-It's okay. It's true.

Glad you have someone

Are you itchy?

-Nope.

Are you?

up in Brookswood,

and I'm looking for
a probate lawyer, Peter?

-Do you have an appointment?

-No, I do not.

-I'll see if he's available.

-Okay. You know what actually
it's fine, it...

it... you know what it's...

I'll just come back
at a later time.

Thank you.

-Marissa?

-Oh, hi!

-Hey.

-Peter.

-Wow, I thought I recognized
that voice.

-Hi.

-How long has it been?

-Five years.

-Has it been five years?

-It has, yeah, it has.

-Wow.

I bumped into Hillary
the other day.

She must have told you
I worked here.

-She did.

-Thought so.

-Actually, Charlie has been
trying to get in touch with you.

He's been emailing you a lot.
Are you getting them?

-Huh, well you know what,

he's probably emailing
my old... email.

Yeah. Give him this.

-Thank you.
Thank you so much.

-Of course.
How is Charlie?

-He's great.
-Yeah?

-Yeah, he is.

He's such an incredible kid.
I'm so proud of him.

-He must be getting big now.
Do you have any pictures of him?

-Yeah, I do.

Um... uh... wait...
oh, there.

-Oh yeah look at him,
he's definitely taller.

He must get that from me.
Ah, what a good kid.

-I know.

-Listen I have a meeting
but, uh...

what are you doing
for dinner tonight?

Can I take you somewhere?

-No.

-Oh, come on, you gotta eat,
right?

I promise I won't keep you
out late.

I just want to, you know,
catch up, hear about Charlie.

-Peter?
-Yeah.

-Your meeting is starting.
-Okay, copy that.

Listen, I gotta run
but tell you what,

meet me out front of
the office at 5:30, okay?

I'll see you then.

-Uh...

-Wow, that is so cool!

-Isn't it?

If you stack it, they will
come... apparently.

Because this is the most people

I've had in the library
in a long time.

-That kid is something else.

Does he still want to break
a world record?

Oh yeah, we didn't tell you.

He's going to balance
Jenga blocks which reminds me

I just need to find about
1,000 of them.

-And the Guinness World Record
people are okay with this?

-Uh, they don't know yet.

-[phone rings]
-Ahhh...

-Hey honey, you almost home?

-Uh no, no.
I'm still in Northbridge.

I'm going to be a little late
if that's okay?

-Yeah, yeah, that's fine.

Do you want us to wait
for you for dinner?

-No, no, no. You guys
go ahead and eat.

-Okay, well drive safe.

-I will. I will.
Thanks honey.

-Charlie! It's just me
and you for dinner.

You know what that means...

-Charlie's choice!

-Can I get in on that?

-I would love that, mother.
Are you going to pay?

[laughs]

-[Nana Mary] Now that was great
fish and chips

-Did you guys hear about the
fight at the fish and chip shop?

Fish got battered.

-[sigh]
-[chuckles]

-Oh!

-That was... actually funny.

-Thank you, Charlie.

[laughing]

Hey, I'm here all night.

-Uh, can I go practice my Jenga?

-Yeah, of course, buddy.

-Fish got battered.
-[laughs]

-You have done such a great
job with Charlie.

-Hasn't always been easy,
that's for sure.

-Never is.

You think you were such
a piece of cake?

-No, I know I was not
a piece of cake.

-Not to pry, but do you think
I might be blessed

with another grandchild?

-I wish, every time I try
and bring it up

Marissa says maybe someday.

-Hm, no pressure.

But you're not getting
any younger.

-Well, neither are you,

-Hi Ms. Bennett, I am Marissa
Parsons calling from Brookswood.

-Oh, Washington State.
I'll be up there Christmas Eve.

How can I help you?

-My husband and I are calling
on behalf of our son, Charlie.

He wants to break
a world record.

-Oh, that's great.

You can go online and start
the application process

and get him in the system.

-Okay, do you have any idea
of how long that process takes

before you can actually see him?

-Um, everything looks good, best
case scenario, around 12 weeks.

-Uh, is there any way
to expedite the process

to say, Christmas Eve, since you
will be in town already?

-No, I'm afraid that's
nearly impossible.

My schedule's very tight.

So after your town's event,
I am going to be rushing home

to be with my own family
for Christmas.

-Ms. Bennett, is there any way
that you could make an exception

just this one time?

This is very important
to Charlie and to us.

-Okay let's just back up here,

which record is Charlie
looking to break?

-Most Jenga blocks balanced
on top of a single block.

-Right, okay,
that's a tough one.

That's going to require
much more time than I'll have.

-He's very fast.

He... he has incredible focus
and you should see him.

-Ms. Bennett, Charlie's autistic

and he has faced
so many challenges in his life

and he has triumphed
over every single one of them.

He is truly just...
he's an extraordinary kid.

So, could you just please
give him a chance?

-Uh, I'll tell you what, I would
like to meet with Charlie

on a video call today
at 3:00 PM if possible.

And if everything goes well
maybe I'll give him a shot.

-We will call you back
at 3:00 PM with Charlie.

This is the best
Christmas present.

-Okay, well I'm not promising
anything, but...

I would like to meet him.

-Okay, thank you so much

-Look.

-Oh!

It's snowing!
It's a good sign.

-Should we wake Charlie?

-No. I actually have an idea.

-When was the last time
you did this?

-Mmm. Not since I was a kid.

Hi!

-Hi Charlie, is that you?

-Yes Ms. Adjudicator,
I am me.

-Okay, well you can call me
Ophelia.

And Charlie, I wanted
to introduce you

to my daughter, Sophia.

We just found out recently
that Sophia is also autistic.

-Nice to meet you all.
Welcome to the spectrum, Sophia.

It's not a bad place to be so
don't let people tell you it is.

Sometimes, it can
even be your superpower.

-I love superhero powers!

-She does!

So, I hear that you want
to break a world record

with Jenga blocks.

-Yep, balancing them
all on one vertical block.

I'm really good
at stacking things.

-So, Charlie, why do you want
to break that record?

-So I can show the world
that autistic people

can do great things.

-Ohhh...

-And so my Dad
will be proud of you.

-That is so sweet.

You know what, usually I ask
a whole bunch of questions

but I only have
one more for you.

What do you want
for Christmas this year

besides breaking your record?

-Maybe a baby brother?
I'll even take a sister.

-Oh, okay.
Did you hear that, parents?

-Loud and clear.
It's a bit of a tall order.

-Well, I'll tell you what,
I'm going to fast track you.

But you have to do it
in the town square

before your city's event.

-No sweat!

-Alright, we'll see you
on Christmas Eve,

which is just under a week away
so you better get practicing.

I'll be in touch with
all the documents

and the rules to
make it official.

-Thank you so much.
Thank you so much!

-Bye. Bye.

I need to email my Dad and
invite him to come watch me.

emailing his wrong address.

Here, this is the new one.

When we first met, you...

you were raising Charlie
all on your own,

and you handled everything
with the most patience

This time, you would be doing
it with an amazing husband

in a solid marriage
and it'd be good.

-I saw Peter the other day.

-Wait, uh... Peter Peter?

-Peter Peter, yep.

-Why?

-Charlie hasn't stopped talking
about him, asking for him,

he wants him to be here
when he breaks the record,

so I felt like he needed
to know.

Didn't go great.

-What did Eric say?

-I haven't told him yet.
I know.

-Oh, no, no, no.

-You have to tell your husband.

-Alright, let's go get them.

-Okay.

-[Charlie] Bye Santa.
-[Amy] Oh, thank you.

-[Charlie] Thank you.

-So what'd you wish for?

-I asked for world peace.

-Oh of course she did.

-She also asked for an e-bike.

-Of course she did.

[laughs]

What did you ask for Charlie?

-I wished for my Dad to see me
break a world record.

-Come here.
I got a surprise for you.

So, in every one of these
ornaments is a Christmas list

from a family who can't afford
to buy presents

so we are going to pick one

and we're going to buy
the gifts for them.

-Kids toothbrush,
kids warm socks,

winter cap, pink or red...

These aren't even toys.

They're like every day
necessities.

-Yeah, you see how lucky
you guys are?

-I want to do something
for charity

when I break my world record.

-That would be cool.

What if people decorated their
own blocks and for a donation,

Charlie would use them in
his world record attempt,

and we could donate
the money to charity!

-I want to help autistic kids!

-Guys, I love this!

-Me too.
-This is such a good idea!

-It's the best!

-Oh, it's like a holiday
"block" party.

-Come on, I mean that's genius!
You and Eric and your jokes.

-I know, that was bad.
That was bad.

-I will ask Benjamin

if we can set up a booth
in the town square

because we're going to need
all the help we can get.

-We will.

-Hey Mom, can I go ice skating
with Justin later?

-Just the two of you?

-His Dad's going too.

-Sure, I guess that's okay.

-A secret. Okay.

-Hey!

How goes the Christmas
shopping?

-Hi Hillary.

Trying to find Marissa
the perfect gift is not easy.

-I actually need to get a
Christmas gift for your wife.

Want to team up?

-Yes. Yes.

That would be great.
I could use your help.

I was thinking, um,
scented candle

but then after you smell
all of them,

then they all start smelling
like... vanilla?

-Why don't I get her
the scented candle,

and I help you get her something
a little more... romantic?

-Yes. Thank you.

-Yeah.
-Um, I'm so bad at this.

-No, it's okay.
-Okay.

-I think this is the latest I've
ever sent out Christmas cards.

That was a fun day.
Do you remember that?

It was the summer and the two
of you, you and Eric,

were pretending to be cold so we
could take our Christmas photo.

Is everything okay with Amy?

You can talk to me
about anything.

Especially the girl stuff.

I happen to uh, be one,
you know.

-I... I don't like when
Justin texts her.

I know he's nice, but it
just makes me feel... weird.

-That is called jealousy.

And it is a perfectly
normal emotion.

-I don't like the way it feels.
What can I do about it?

-It's not good to keep
our feelings bottled up.

May I suggest that maybe
you talk to Amy,

and tell her how you feel?

-Do you tell Eric how you feel?

-Not as much as I should.

Why don't I do it now, hmm?
Let's call him.

Okay.

-Hi!

-[in Unison] Hi!

-I'm with your boss right now.

-I, yes, I can...
I can see that.

Um. What are you guys doing?
Where are you?

-We can't tell you.

-Hi Eric!

We have something cool to tell
you about when you get home.

-Well I can't wait to hear.

-Okay well, um... have fun!

-Bye!

-You didn't even tell Eric
how you feel.

-You know, I wasn't going
to say it in front of her.

-Now who's jealous?

-I am not!

-Hillary, thank you so much
for your advice.

Now I just need to find Charlie
more Jenga blocks.

-You are such a good
Dad to him.

-Oh, thank you.

Hey, speaking of that,

I heard that you ran
into Charlie's Dad, Peter.

-Yeah. Uh, up in Northbridge.
It was awkward but brief.

-Marissa was
just in Northbridge.

-Yep, I had work for her there.

-Mmhmm, I see.
-Mm.

-Well, uh, again,
thank you so much

-Guess what?
-What?

-We are going to have
a fundraiser

so people can donate Jenga
blocks and money for autism.

-Oh, that's fantastic!

I have great news as well.
Um, no peeking, thank you.

-Yeah.

-So, I sent in all
your paperwork

and you are now officially...
official.

-That's great!

through work.

Do you think they
would cover it?

-I don't see why not,
I mean it's big news.

Charlie is going to break
a world record!

-I'll call her!

-Oh man, I better practice.

-So, um, you were hanging
out with Hillary, huh?

-Mhm, me and Hillary
were hanging out.

-Yeah, she's fun.

-She is fun.

-I saw Peter in Northbridge.

I was there for work,

I just wanted to try and get him
to come to Charlie's event.

I was planning on telling you.

-It makes sense.

But we should be able to tell
each other anything.

-I should have told you.

-Yeah.

I'm... I'm really sorry.

You know how much
I love you, right?

-Hmm. No, I think I need
you to remind me.

You don't still have feelings
for him, do you?

-[laughs] No!

-Okay.
-No!

-Just checking.

Well, then.
I love you, too.

not only for the town

record by stacking Jenga blocks.

Hi, Charlie.

-Hi Karla.
We watch you on TV.

-Well, I like you already.

Tell us, how did you get
started stacking blocks?

-I put the bottom
one down first,

and I kept going until it fell.

-Sounds like a good strategy.

Do you stack other things
or just blocks?

-I try and stack
almost anything.

-And how many blocks do you need
to break the world record?

-One thousand, four hundred.

-Fourteen-hundred!

All balancing on that
one vertical block.

That's a lot Charlie.

[muffled] So I understand you're
planning a special fundraiser

in the town square?

-Uh, a block holiday...
a party decorating blocks.

-Ooh, I like parties.

What will you be doing
at this party?

-Uh, a block holiday.

-Hi. I'm Amy.

Charlie here is hosting
a holiday fundraiser

for autistic kids.

Come down, bring any Jenga
blocks you have,

and he'll use them
for his world record.

It's going to be a blast, so
'block' it out on your schedule.

I was bummed because I haven't
been ice skating yet this year.

reciprocate?

to tell her and Amy doesn't feel

the same way, she'll find a way
to let him down gently.

Just like you did with me
when we first met.

-No, I didn't...

I didn't realize you were
asking me out on a date!

-Really?

Because I literally
asked you out on a date.

-No, no, no.
You didn't.

You asked me to go to
an ugly sweater party.

-Exactly. A date!

-Yes, but see, I thought
you were just telling me

about a party!

-Just a party, right.

-I was a single mom,
I didn't do parties.

You want to know when I did
know I was in love with you?

-When I made my lasagna?

-Well almost, I mean
your lasagna's really good.

You told Charlie and I
one of your jokes,

and he laughed so hard.

He didn't even get the joke
but he just... belly-laughed

and it was... and it was magic.

Up until then he barely smiled.

Until you came along.

I think he gets his sense
of humor from you.

-Ooh, I'm sorry.

-Yeah, thank you.

-There's more to life
than tree sniffing!

Look at that,

Alright, you ready?

what if I can't do it?

-Hey.

We will just figure out
another time for you to do this.

The most important thing

-But everyone will laugh
at me.

-Nobody is going to laugh
at you.

I can promise you that.
Look at this thing!

What you're doing, it just,

it's okay. Come here.

Hey, look. For the longest time,

I didn't even know if Charlie
would be able to connect,

or tell us about his emotions.
But, now he can.

This is a good thing, I know it
doesn't feel that way

but it is a good thing, okay?

-When it comes to women,

there are many, many things
that I don't understand.

What I do know is
they are complicated.

Especially with matters
of the heart.

Your mom didn't love me
at first.

No, she had her guard up
pretty good.

-So, what did you do?

-It took time.

It might take time
with Amy, too.

And if not,

at least you still have her
as a best friend, right?

That's very special, too.

-Why does it have to feel
so weird?

-Because you made
yourself vulnerable.

And that's a good thing.
It means you opened your heart.

And if your heart's not open,

then the good feelings
can't get in.

Okay, buddy?
Want to try and get some sleep?

You got a big day tomorrow.

If you want to talk more
you know where we are.

-Rise and shine!
It's Christmas Eve!

[notification alert]

-Mom!
-What?

-It's Dad!

-What?

-He says he'll be there.

This is going to be the best
Christmas ever.

-Hey.

That's the last of 'em!
How are you feeling?

-Nervous, but good.

-[Ms. Bennett] Merry Christmas!

-Hey!

-Charlie, you remember
Ms. Bennett right,

from the Guinness World Records?

-Please, it's Ophelia.

Charlie, I'm supposed to say
'good luck' from my daughter.

You really inspired her
so thank you for that.

-Maybe the next time I break
a world record she can come?

-Oh, yeah maybe.
I like your positive attitude.

So you know the rules,

you have two hours to
complete your attempt,

and that digital clock over
there is going to be the timer

and I'll keep track of the
number of blocks you've stacked.

Sound good?

Well, I'll let you get ready.

-Thank you so much.

-My pleasure.
Good luck.

-Thanks.

-Hey buddy.

You okay?
Just do your breathing.

-Hey, here.

-I... I don't think
I practiced enough.

-Yes, you did.
You were so good at this.

I've seen you stack blocks
standing on one foot.

You got this.

-But my Dad isn't here,

and Amy's probably
not going to come.

What if this wasn't a good idea?

-I wouldn't be too sure
about Amy.

See? Everything's going
to be okay.

[sighs]

-Eric, can you do me a favor?

-Yeah, of course.

-Can you give me a marker, a
piece of paper, and some tape?

It's for my Dad.

-Yeah, sure.
I'll grab it and be right back.

-Alright.

I will be right over there
if you need me. Okay?

You got this.

-Hey.
-Hey

-I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry that...

-Hey, I get it. Every kid wants
their... father's approval.

-Eric! Marissa!

-Hi Frank.
I need a favor.

Could I borrow a roll of tape,
a marker, and some paper?

-Sure thing.

-What do you think
is going to happen

if Peter doesn't show up?

-I don't know. I really hope
he does.

All I truly want for Charlie
is for him to be happy.

-For what it's worth, Eric,
I think you're a great Dad.

-Thank you.
-I know, right?

Thank you.

-Hey, you ready to get started?

-Can we wait for my Dad?

-Uh, you can wait as long as you
want, yeah, but unfortunately,

it's going to come out of
your two hours

because your town's record
starts at noon.

You got this.

Should we do this?

Alright. Merry Christmas
everyone.

I'm Ophelia Bennett from
Guinness World Records

and Charlie here is officially
attempting to break

the Guinness World Records title
for stacking

the most Jenga blocks on top of
one vertical block.

And here we go.
We're going to do a countdown.

Ready? Three!

I'll give you some time.

Um, Charlie.

Unfortunately, you have
to try again next year,
