As you can see, the original unit investment property

has exceeded expectations.

And with this marketing campaign,

the plan for the west side location can be

just as profitable

while continuing to positively impact the community.

Are there any other questions on the Unit Springs?

Luxury, affordable housing for all.

You don't think it's a little polarizing?

Showing celebrities talk about transitional housing.

It's not polarizing.

It aligns perfectly with our core values

of social responsibility.

Exactly. They're the face for a reason.

The face stays pretty. Clean.

And that makes people wanna donate.

That's shallow.

The original unit was fulfilling

our social responsibility initiative.

exploiting that to garner political and financial support

for this new property-

Is brilliant.

Great job, young lady.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

Are there any other questions?

- Cheers everybody. - Cheers

To a productive day.

Very productive.

Oh, give me one moment.

Auntie?

What are you doing here?

Really? That's your response.

Not "it's good to see you Auntie."

"I really missed you Auntie."

"Sorry I didn't return your calls and emails,

Auntie."

Really? Who reads email?

Okay, I'm sorry.

Hello Auntie.

Hi, baby.

You look so cute.

You too.

Look at us, matching with the sparkles.

So, um... did I give you a key?

I don't remember giving you a key.

No. I gave me a key.

and for a moment I thought

I was in the wrong house, 'cause this is-

Fabulous? Yes, I know.

Francois killed this.

- He added... - Everything.

Yes.

To an already upscaled house?

Well, it needed some pep, you know?

Some real Christmas cheer.

I hired Yo Ken Lee for the design.

You know, this makes no sense, right?

I mean, you're not even here enough to enjoy all this.

And by the way,

you are now using the car service full time.

Mm-Hmm?

Where is your car?

I still have them.

The- I'm sorry. "Them"?

Yeah, I bought another one.

Anyway, come with me Auntie.

You have to see my newly renovated closets.

Come on, come on, come on.

Of course you do. Come with me, please.

Look at this. Skirt. Dress.

Come on Auntie, Isn't it cute?

Morgan...

This has got to stop.

What?

All of this, I mean the shoes, the designer handbags,

the clothes, all of it.

Everything. You are just doing too much.

I don't understand you.

You used to tell me all the time that the Bible says

if a man doesn't work, he doesn't eat.

Well, this woman works.

I don't know if I call what you do work,

Right? Because I'm not in the family business.

Because you are not doing good business!

Morgan...

You helping multimillion dollar companies

defraud their shareholders with fake philanthropy

just to fill a quota?

Nobody is defrauding. Okay?

They're spending money to help people.

And I'm good at showing others the light,

which I thought you'd be proud of.

And I thought you'd be less naive.

Auntie, I hate to cut your visit short,

but I have a meeting with my stylist this evening.

For what? You just got in town.

What do you need to be styled for?

She's helping me shop for my trip around the world.

I'm leaving Christmas day. It's a gift to myself.

Wait a minute. Is this Ryan's idea?

Is this him trying to plan some elaborate proposal?

See, that right there is exactly why

I didn't invite him.

Because the ring would've ruined everything.

You didn't know we broke up, Auntie?

Are you serious?

Anything I do that's not connected to Brewster Inc.

is not enough for you.

You treated me that way ever since...

Ever since what?

You can't even say it.

It doesn't have anything to do with Uncle Monty.

Oh, you keep telling yourself that.

But let me tell you this, this is your last chance.

Now. I want you here with your family at Christmas

or else.

Enough of... all of this.

Okay, I get it. Sorry.

Morgan...

I miss my Monty too.

But I'm not pushing away those that are still here.

Those that still love me.

I'll talk to you later.

Did you see that dude looking at you

in the last store we were in?

I was like, is he gonna ask for your number or what?

It's a little crowded in here, don't y'all think?

Oh, that jacket is so last season.

Hey girl, I love your jacket!

You look good! Hi!

Miss Brewster, from my favorite regular, welcome back.

Is my table ready?

Perfect. Thank you.

Hi.

Right, exactly. But it was good though, right?

Yeah, it's always good here. I missed it here so much.

But I wanted to try something different this time.

I'm sorry, it won't go through, ma'am.

What won't go through?

Your card. It's not working.

That's funny.

It's also impossible. So try again.

I've tried it four times, ma'am.

Don't ma'am me!

You know what? It's fine.

Uh, the strip is probably a little worn.

'Tis the season for spending, right?

Try this one.

Can y'all believe him?

He's getting fired.

Anywho. The next one.

It's not working.

Just gimme one moment. Just um...

Just try this one.

It has to be their system.

Like, I leave for a little while,

come back to this? Really?

It won't go through, ma'am.

I'm so sorry. Just gimme one second.

Um, it has to be something...

strange going on with the- where are you going?

Where are you going? Oh, you're leaving.

Click clacking away in those shoes I bought you.

Oh, you too?

The tag is still on your dress, sweetie.

You've always been my favorite, you know that.

Just gimme one second, boo. I'm sorry.

Um, where you going?

Wow. I see how it is.

That's why your handbag is a knockoff!

Look, I don't need this from you.

After all the money I've spent in this place,

this is my table.

Literally, it has my name on it.

So why don't you just go get your manager.

Actually, get the owner and let me talk to them.

Thank you.

Go!

Are you recording? You recording me?

Oh my God.

Thank you. You're wrinkling my coat.

I know how to walk!

Oh, hey Liza!

Hey! Don't worry about this. This ain't nothing.

Merry Christmas!

You what?

You heard me. I froze all of your accounts.

Sit down.

Okay.

Are you doing this because you think I didn't

bring you anything back from Chicago?

Because I did. Can you say Cartier?

Auntie, how can you do this?

With all due respect, it's not your money.

Oh baby.

You think that little stipend you're getting

from the marketing that you're doing

is enough to cover your lavish lifestyle?

No, sweetie. Your Uncle Monte and I

opened those accounts for you when you were a child.

And when I tell the bank to close them,

they get closed.

Listen, what do you want me to do?

This.

What is this?

That is a part of your Uncle Monty's will

that we prepared before his passing.

We were waiting for the right time to give it to you.

This doesn't look like clauses in a will.

This is...

this is more like a list.

That's right.

It's a list of tasks you have to fulfill

in order to secure your inheritance.

This is a joke, right?

Now, you know your Uncle Monty believed

in big challenges to test the character.

And... when he saw how you were changing

after your parents passed,

he wanted to give you the opportunity to see how strong

you really are aside from our wealth.

I understand that a challenge like this

is how he got his fortune.

But why are you torturing me with all this... work?

Morgan...

Now that my Monte has passed,

I gotta figure out my next chapter.

What I'd like to do is retire at the top of the year

and see what else God has for me.

But, of course, I can't do that until you are ready.

Wait, I'm sorry. What are we talking about here?

You want me to take over all this?

So I can be buried in paperwork, earning reports

and board meetings? No.

Doing what I do allows me to stay in control.

Hmm. Yeah. In control and empty.

Oh, Morgan.

Baby, you were never in this alone.

You lost your parents,

and I lost my baby brother and sister-in-law,

all in a day.

We understood your pain. That's why we gave you space.

And this year started with us losing Monty.

That was a hit I never expected.

So when you decided to quit law school

so you could go find yourself,

I was really worried about you, but...

I just never thought you would turn out like this.

Auntie.

Look, either you complete these tasks

by Christmas Day and regain your wealth, or...

refuse and forego the Brewster's dynasty,

leaving you without a dime to your name.

Now, I'll still retire, but everything will be moved

into a trust managed by the new CEO.

You?

You will have to start from scratch all on your own.

And I will always be here for love and support,

but our money... will not.

So I have to do these four things to keep my money.

That's right.

Number one: Provide clean and safe long-term shelter

for someone in need.

Since you've been living a lifestyle of

comfort and warmth.

Number two: Give a child a unique gift

that's worth more than money.

Since you've been spending money recklessly like a child.

Number three: Restore your faith in the-

in the true meaning of Christmas.

Yes. Because it truly seems like you have lost

all sense of what this holiday season is all about.

Okay.

Number four: Open your heart up to the possibility

of true love again.

Okay, that's not fair.

You can't force me to fall in love.

I'm not... just don't want you to give up on it.

All this is a little ridiculous, don't you think?

How can you even measure these things?

And how am I supposed to get started?

Well, I guess I could call around-

Nope.

No calling around.

No. Using your resources or contacts, nor ours.

Nobody can know anything about what you're doing

or it's over.

How do you expect me to do this

without using the Brewster name?

That's who I am.

Oh baby, that is not true.

You are so much more than that.

And that's the point.

Taylor? Would you let them know I'm ready.

Can I at least have a reality show

follow me around or something?

That way I can at least get paid.

No. It's a good idea... but no.

Hi sweetie.

Morgan, you remember Tiffany, the company COO?

Yes, of course.

Nice to see you again, Morgan. It's been a while.

And this is Andrew, my second in command around here.

Nice to meet you.

Hi.

Hand him your phone, please.

Am I gonna get it back?

Of course.

Oh wait. Oh, this is great.

So you two are gonna be working for me.

Negative.

Meet your... support system.

Well, more so Andrew, since I'll be assisting you

with the fundraisers, the food drive,

and all of our other Christmas endeavors, Mrs. Brewster.

Absolutely right.

But Andrew here will be kind of like your...

guardian angel through this process.

I mean, he can't do anything, but he can make sure

you're on the right track and report your progress to us.

A guardian angel, but he can't do anything.

Then what's the point?

I'll help keep you within the boundaries

of your dos and don'ts.

Don'ts?

No using your name for assistance.

No borrowing money.

No taking money from friends and family.

No gifts or donations from family or friends.

And you have 30 days to get this all done

Starting now.

I'm also downloading the app to all of your devices

with your tasks and calendars on there.

It'll, uh, keep you updated.

We also have these same apps on our devices as well.

So if you guys need me, I'm around 24/7.

Most importantly, Morgan, you have until

midnight Christmas Eve to complete your task.

Look, I have a trip planned on Christmas Day.

I can't focus on that and do all of this.

I can't and I won't!

Period.

How did I not know she controlled all of my accounts?

You know what, if I've been reckless,

she's to blame.

They absolutely spoiled me.

And now she wants me to be Miss Independent.

That's only sexy in the movies.

Maybe this is her way of rectifying things.

They were right. You really are no help.

Forgot to give you this.

Oh!

Okay. I was wrong. You're not a jerk.

Wow. A jerk. You just met me.

Stay focused.

How much is on the secret credit card of redemption?

It's not a credit card.

More of a money card for food and basic essentials.

Mrs. Brewster's already authorized a limit of $2,500.

Are you joking?

I bought meals for more than this money card is worth.

I can't, I- I need to call a car.

And I need a drink right now.

Let me help you with that.

Hello? Car from Morgan. Be there in about two seconds.

Are you joking?

The only thing I can do for you

is give you transportation from point A to point B

to ensure your safety.

Mrs. Brewster don't want anybody

recognizing you out there and trying to rob you,

- thinking that... - Thinking I have money?

Ah, that's funny.

You know what? Whatever.

Just take me to my condo, Uber boy.

Uber boy.

Nah, that name's not going to work.

By the way, there's one more thing

I forgot to tell you.

Cannot believe she locked me outta my condo.

How am I supposed to help other people if I'm homeless?

Maybe she has faith that you'll figure it out.

That's what all this is about, right?

I could sleep on the jet.

I'm a genius. That would be so perfect.

And I think I still have that mink throw I left in the-

I'm sorry, but you're locked outta there as well.

Ugh.

Think of something. Come on.

There has to be somewhere you know of.

For the homeless?

How would I know of a place for them?

Hold on. I actually might know a spot.

Yeah. This is it right here. The Unit Springs.

The Unit Springs?

It's a transitional housing unit.

The investment firm I work for owns two locations

and this is one of them. I just did a presentation

on this place like a few days ago.

Look at God.

You know, you can't use your contacts,

that was one of the rules.

I'm not.

I never dealt with this place directly.

I've never even been there,

but I made 'em look really good on paper

and from the pictures the company showed me,

it's a beautiful place for people in need of transitional housing.

Look.

Come on. That's where we're going.

Ugh.

Mm-Hmm.

My-

This doesn't make any sense.

The company had thousands donated

for the development of this place.

It's supposed to be luxury housing.

You never cared where the money went. Huh?

Don't do that. You sound just like my aunt.

With all these vacancies

no wonder it was so easy to get you in here.

This place must be desperate

for residents to meet their year-end quota.

Yeah, it doesn't matter. I'm not staying here.

Morgan, you've called around already.

It's freezing outside and it's the holiday season.

I think this is your best option.

This can't be my home for-

Thirty days.

Thirty days?

No, no. I can't live like this.

This entire apartment could fit in my bedroom.

Then don't.

Thank you for your input.

I wonder if the Four Seasons has an available room.

That's not what I meant.

Try cleaning the place up a bit.

Dress it up a little. That could help.

I'm sorry. Let's rewind. Clean- who cleans up what?

I'm gonna get going.

Everything will be fine. Try to get some rest.

Try to get some rest in here?

Andr-

Was it really that bad?

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to pop in.

I just wanted to let you know your door is open.

Great.

So I'm leaving myself open to get attacked and robbed.

What they taking from up in here?

I'm Opal.

Morgan.

You mind if I...?

Please come in.

I'm your neighbor.

Oh, nice.

I didn't know if anyone lived here.

'Cause we so quiet?

It's like that around here.

Sorry, I'm just still adjusting.

Would you like a cup of tea?

Yeah.

Come on.

Here we are.

Wow.

This is amazing, Opal.

Oh, thank you.

Uh, may I?

Please.

How do you have time to knit these?

I love it. It's like therapy.

We used to have a knitting club here

and a craft show every Christmas.

Used to?

Yes. This place used to be popping

until some management company moved in.

Some investment company, Martin and Row.

They really let this place go down.

We heard new money came in and went right past us.

So a lot of folks moved out.

Those of us who stayed can't afford to.

Or can't find another place.

That's crazy, right?

Yeah.

It is.

And you sew.

Yeah, when I was a kid I wanted to be a designer.

Now I just play around with design.

I make some things here and there

for me and a couple of sisters down at the church

when I can afford the fabric.

It makes me feel productive.

Shoot girl. It really helps me to relax.

You're really good.

Well, thank you.

Like really good.

Well, maybe if you act right, I'll let you try on a few.

- Act right? - That's right. Act right.

You act right here.

So tell me, what do you do for fun and leisure?

Uh, other than my weekly massages and seaweed wraps,

I like to take-

Girl, you funny!

"Weekly massages"

Right?

Don't we wish?

We do. We wish.

Who's that beauty?

That's Mariah.

My daughter. She's 13.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I'm being so loud. Is she sleeping?

No, she doesn't stay here with me.

I am gonna get another tea.

Okay.

I uh, lost my job a while back.

I was unemployed, broke.

My ex left me and...

I went into a really, really dark spiral.

I had been depressed before, but this was different.

You know, and I didn't want-

I didn't want Mariah to see me like that.

I got help once I moved here and the counselor said

I should leave Mariah with my sister for a while.

Well, that must have been hard.

It was, but I did what was best for her, period.

You know, and once I'm stable, I have a job, a place to stay,

She'll clear me to get her back.

I told myself at the top of the year

that this would be the last Christmas...

I would spend without her.

It looks like I'm letting her down again.

Hey, it's not Christmas yet.

There's still time. Thirty days to be exact.

I don't know what kind of magic you are gonna make happen.

But I like your faith.

Hmm.

So you tell me.

What brings you to a place

that everybody else is trying to escape?

Oh, uh...

I actually found placing at a different housing building,

but um, they won't be able to move me in

for about month.

Well you think maybe I-

Oh, no, I'm sorry.

The owner is a wealthy lady, very shrewd.

So there's only one spot.

I get it. I get it.

Well, I can see why you're down.

Your place.

Well, there's not much I can do about that.

I don't really have a lot to work with.

Because you don't know how to make it work.

What's "it"?

What you got in your pocket, girl!

Trust me, it's not much.

Well look how I've made my place a home.

And by the looks of your clothes,

you obviously have style.

You'd be surprised how far a little can get you.

All I did was bring her to her new place

building a community all by herself.

Wow.

I was shocked too.

I mean, she seems to be adapting pretty well.

Okay. So she's...

making a lot of headway in a few days.

And we have three weeks left.

This is gonna be harder than I thought.

What's going to be hard?

Getting her outta the way.

But I'm supposed to be helping her.

No, you're supposed to guide her.

But the question is, how would you guide her?

Okay. I need you to make sure you stay two steps ahead of her

so you can push her 10 steps back. Okay?

Keep in touch with me and we're gonna send this girl packing.

Tiffany...

I don't know.

I mean what if when she takes-

Exactly, did you hear what you just said?

"When she takes over."

And do you know what a brat like that is gonna do

when she gets her hands on this company?

She's gonna sell it for its parts.

And me, you and everybody else is gonna be jobless

at the top of the year.

Now, I don't wanna start my year off like that Andrew.

Do you?

No.

So we have to do what we have to do, right?

To ensure we all have a future

and to make sure we all have a Merry Christmas.

Right.

Excuse me.

I'm sorry, but you can't go up to random homeless people.

Couldn't connect with anybody at that shelter.

And it was mainly because you kept blocking me.

I was protecting you.

They were calling security.

Unwarranted.

Did you forget the part when you threatened

to dump their soup if they didn't let you help?

Big Ty, the singer.

Wow. I was just listening to him this morning.

Always thought he lived down south.

Not man, he lives up in here.

Oh. So I see why you set up camp down here

the way he probably hooks you up every day.

Ma'am, please.

He act like I don't even exist.

But that's okay though.

One day he'll have to stop, gimme my props,

and help me get a record deal.

I got you. I see what's going on.

This is definitely you not trying to hustle money

for your basketball team.

Why are you air quoting?

Nah man. This ain't me running a game.

I'm out here trying to make something happen

so I can help my family.

Oh, are they poor?

Um, I'm sorry.

What's going on with your family?

Morgan, that's personal.

My dad lost his job a few weeks ago.

He's been working odd jobs here and there

trying to keep things afloat.

He doesn't know I know this,

but if he keeps working late nights like this,

we'll never be able to see him.

And it's hard taking care of my baby sister on my own.

That's a lot to carry, little man.

Nah, it ain't nothin' when it's for your family.

I saw on social media

somebody caught a pic of Ty leaving this building.

So here I am.

No, really.

The songs you two did today, pretty cool.

I was genuinely impressed.

I didn't know you could sing like that.

Oh, I guess you haven't been at the company long enough

to hear me sing at our holiday parties. Huh?

It's been a while.

Such a shame you haven't been there as of late.

Will you be gracing us with your presents this year, madam?

Uh, no sir.

I'm wrapping this up by Christmas Eve as promised

and going on my trip around the world Christmas Day.

Oh- no you didn't!

Don't hurt nobody, now. Where are you going?

I'm going to the church singles mixer.

- Oh. - Mm-Hmm.

You know what? Are you two... you know?

A thing? Like, a thing? No.

No, girl. That's funny.

Business associates.

Yeah, he's just helping me get back on my feet.

You'll see him around.

Well, you know, support is support,

but not all support is as fine as him, okay?

Chill. Look, thank you for the invite.

But I don't wanna see a bunch of uncles with slick hair.

Cha cha sliding to "Amazing Grace" in their wingtips.

Are you kidding me?

You've been to that church, you've seen those guys.

Those are good guys.

And it's Friday night. You should come. Come on.

I'll fix your hair. I'll give you a nice outfit.

Girl, you are rocking an Opal original.

I feel a little overdressed.

No, no girl. You look fine.

You could go couture. You know that?

- Oh please. - You are that good.

Go ahead.

You two have fun tonight and make me look good, okay?

Alright.

Okay.

So this is unexpected.

Very unexpected.

Thank you.

So this worked out, huh?

What?

Me being able to have my pick.

Open my heart to love. Remember?

You really think you'll find somebody here?

I don't know, but I don't have a single task checked off,

so I need to try.

Who knows? Someone might find me.

and she owe me a dance, sir. I'm sorry.

Come on. You gonna gimme a chance?

Come on now.

True.

I got you.

Well thank you for that.

Of course.

You're willing to be more hands-on than anticipated, huh?

It's part of the job.

We're business associates, right?

What was that?

What?

That angst in your voice when you said that?

No, no, don't do that.

It's a fact. This is business.

We are associates.

Yet you swooped in like a knight

when the damsel was in distress.

That might make you more like a friend.

I know.

Well, Opal was right.

There's a lot here.

I guess I just didn't notice.

Life, right?

You wake up one day,

and you see all this potential

that's been in front of you the whole time.

Uh, we could... probably stop dancing now.

I don't mind.

Yeah, me either.

Do you mind if I cut in?

She's yours.

How's your night, girl?

Good. How's yours?

I don't know.

Thank you. Hey, good job.

Yo, Big Ty.

Please. Please. No autographs, all right?

I have a reservation for Ms. Block.

Thank you.

Come on. That crowd has tripled since last week.

Manny will have enough money in no time.

Check and check.

Two checks.

Yeah. Luke invited me on a date the other night.

Luke?

The guy from the church mixer, remember?

That open heart gesture looking really good.

You gonna tell my aunt, right?

Yeah, of course.

But a date? When and where?

Tonight.

He wants to have a picnic in the park.

Isn't that sweet?

Yeah. Sweet.

Was that from Opal's?

Opal!

You okay?

Yes. I'm sorry to startle you all.

I just broke my favorite mug.

Wait a minute, are you moving?

Surprise.

I knew it was gonna happen sooner rather than later,

but I didn't think it was gonna happen this soon.

Why?

Issues with my unemployment,

and my short-term housing lease is up.

Okay, well don't worry about it.

I'll call the company and make some noise, all right?

No, no need. I've tried.

And honestly I can't be mad at them

because they've shown me a lot of grace and I am grateful.

Even though they are slumlords sometimes.

So where would you go?

I haven't even figured that out yet.

I haven't until the end of the week,

so I'm gonna find a way,

and that's why I got started on this.

I was hoping it would make it easier.

No. Opal, we gotta do something.

They can't just throw you outta your home.

You don't need to do anything.

I'm going to get back on my feet.

I have been knocked down before.

But what about you getting your daughter?

It's okay. Come here.

I am not saying that you can't help her,

it's just you only have eight days left.

You should be maximizing your time.

Trust me, I can do this and still take care of business.

Besides, isn't that the point of all this?

I'm supposed to be helping people

and thinking outside of myself, right?

Yeah, but she has real life issues.

Morgan, I know it's hard, but I think it's best

if you just let things be.

She's my friend. I have to do something.

I'm still calling the owners,

letting them know this won't fly.

Wow.

You look like a Christmas angel.

Thank you. That's so sweet.

Once again, it's the Opal effect

And all this for a "task" date.

Absolutely. And then some.

And then some?

What... what you mean by that?

I guess I'm open to a good time too.

Oh.

Oh, right.

Um,

You know, um, Morgan, I've been thinking a lot lately,

like maybe if you just focus

on these other challenges and nail those,

this one won't really matter. Right?

It didn't sound like that with my Auntie.

No. Like if you really think about-

I'm looking forward to it.

Really?

Mm. Maybe I'm rebounding from my ex.

Or maybe I just missed this.

Getting all dressed up to go out with a man

who really sees me and looks at me like...

Kind of like that.

I guess the dress works.

Lemme grab my jacket.

I was wondering when I was gonna hear from you.

Have you shut down

her little sidewalk side show with the kids?

It's picking up traction on social.

And we have eight days left.

Yeah. Yeah. I'm all over that. Okay?

But we have bigger problems.

We need to be more concerned about the task

of her opening up her heart to love.

She had a date tonight.

Please. That is not gonna happen.

She's too selfish to open her heart up to anybody.

Now, Andrew, just take the night off

and let her screw up this love challenge on her own.

- Okay? - Yeah.

You are right.

Mm-Hmm.

Hey man, I gotta tell you.

I'm just saying as a tenant, I don't know about all this.

Hey man, you see this?

This is disruptive, man.

And this corner is getting more popular every day.

It's becoming a trend.

Singers from all across the world gonna be flying in,

performing in front of our building, man.

- Right. - Right.

Look at all these cameras. Look.

Go Manny, go Manny!

Where's the privacy? This gotta be a violation.

I'm trying to remember if they gotta have some HOA bylaws

about soliciting on the property.

You know what? You are absolutely right.

Let me fix it.

Somebody needs to do something, right?

I'm sorry.

Come on!

Look. Enough is enough. All right?

Yeah, I agree.

That was not a good look, Mr. Grinch.

You really trying to be canceled for the holidays?

Turn around. Look at all those phones.

Say cheese.

Look.

I know something you could do that would help out

my little friend and your reputation.

Alright, fine. What do you want me to do?

I can't believe you are here.

I've been your biggest fan for like forever.

Um, you mind if I could take a picture?

No, no cameras, no videos.

I'm just here for a quick hi and I'm out, alright?

Yeah.

You wore all that for no cameras?

Listen, I have an image to uphold no matter where I am,

but uh, obviously you don't know nothing about that.

If you only knew.

No sweetheart. If only you knew.

Hold on. You wrote that?

- Yeah. - Yeah.

Because it reminds me of...

"Love Come Home"? From your first album?

That was my mom's favorite song.

So I took this chord

and did this with it.

Okay. It's pretty impressive.

But did you think about this though?

Oh no. You gotta get in there too.

Okay.

Oh, right there. Right there. Okay.

Alright, alright...

Big Ty?

So this is what we doing now?

We missing school to hang out with celebrities?

Dad, that's not what I was doing.

Uh, Mr. Myers?

Jacob.

Jacob.

I'm sorry for coming into your home unannounced,

but you have an incredible son.

I don't need you to tell me. I know he incredible.

That piano is the most valuable thing we have in this home,

given to me by my father.

And I can't think to sell it.

But when I saw my boy teach himself how to play that piano,

I knew then that he was special.

That he had a gift.

I don't want my boy out there with people like you

trying to help this family-

because I can't provide.

You know, sir, my dad left me and my mom with next to nothing

in a one bedroom with four kids

right around the corner from here.

And I promised myself I would never come back here.

I even tried to convince myself that I was better off

without a father.

But after seeing Manny's hustle and your heart,

man, I can't even help but wonder what kind of man

I would've turned out to be

if I would've had a dad like you.

You're doing more than what you think.

And your son right here,

he's being selfless because you are.

You should be proud of that.

Not ashamed.

A man that runs away,

He should be ashamed.

But a man that never gives up... can never.

I thought if he heard my music, maybe I could get a record deal.

Earn something.

So I can help with a bill or two around here.

We barely see you,

and I don't want you working so hard that we lose you too.

Wait. Wait baby boy, look.

Hey, Manny.

Manny, I'm sorry. Okay? look at me.

I'm right here and I ain't going nowhere.

You hear me?

I'm so proud of what you doing for this family.

'cause I always taught you to take care of family.

Now look at you.

You are doing just that.

You know what?

Uh, that's why I want you guys to spend Christmas with me.

Yeah. At my spot.

Christmas? In your condo?

Wait, I can't ask you to do that.

You're not.

I'm offering.

My mom, she always cooks too much anyway.

And I always wondered what Christmas would be like

with a cool dad.

Cute little sis.

Annoying, big-headed little brother.

I'm gonna take that as a compliment.

You should.

But uh...

it would really be my honor, sir.

You're a good man, Ty.

Your dad would be proud. But he missed out.

Thank you.

Don't get me to cry now. I'm too old for tears.

Bring it in man. Get over here.

And here I thought your special gift for a kid was for Manny.

All along it was for a big kid who just needed a little love.

Wow. You got a good son here.

Yeah. That's my boy.

It's astonishing how someone's past

could be a blessing to somebody's future, right?

- What? - What?

Yes.

You want me to sue my former employer

and you wanna represent me?

I know it's brilliant, right?

But you're not a lawyer.

But she did go to law school for a few years, right?

Yes. Thank you Andrew.

And I've been doing research the past two days.

I don't know about this.

Didn't you say your old boss wrongfully let you go?

You thought you were being penalized

for being a mom, right?

Do you know he fired me for going on a vacation

with my daughter, with vacation time I earned?

This won't even need to go to court.

We just have to shake him up.

He attacked your work ethic

because he thought you were helpless and on your own.

But now he's got another thing coming.

What do you think?

I think...

I think I believe in her.

Boom!

Okay. Okay.

I'm gonna get my old employee file

and I bet there's something in there we can use.

Mm-Hmm. You do that.

Give me all the smoke. I want all of it.

You know, you're three days out from your deadline.

You know how long the legal process could take?

All I need is a day.

- Opal? - Mm-Hmm?

Are you ready?

No. But I miss my daughter so I'm down for whatever.

Opal? What are you doing here? What's this all about?

Mr. Reynolds, this is my attorney and we are-

We're here to discuss her unlawful dismissal.

Shall we invite your attorney to join the conversation?

I don't think that's a good idea.

Shh.

Not necessary. I can handle this.

Her work, or lack thereof,

warranted her appropriate and very lawful termination.

- Poor work performance? - Yes.

That's what led to her termination?

Yes.

Hmm. So I'm assuming she has at least

three write-ups in her file.

Excuse me?

According to your corporate handbook,

which I've noticed is not available

to any of the employees unless requested,

it states clearly

that all employees must have at least three write-ups

and a joint meeting with shift leader and manager before termination.

Each branch reserves the right to do it-

Negative. All branches must abide by these rules.

We had some theft a while ago

and some of the files were missing. Her write-ups-

I've never had any write-ups!

Of course you did. You just don't remember it.

Mr. Reynolds, I--

Opal, it's okay.

Mr. Reynolds, the more you speak, the clearer it becomes

that you're a mess and you're messy.

I'm certain there are several other conduct violations

I could pin on you, per your own company's policy.

Opal surely is not the only person you've wronged.

And I wonder what other malfeasances I would find

after a full investigation into your managerial history.

Are you sure there aren't any other disgruntled employees

floating around here that wouldn't be interested

in a class action lawsuit?

And even if that fails, the bad publicity surrounding

you and your company would be enough for your own dismissal.

If you didn't have a complaint in your file already,

you're getting one today, sir.

Merry Christmas.

Wow! Wow! Wow!

Thank You.

I can't believe that really worked.

With this check, I can stay in my place!

This is unbelievable! Thank you.

Don't thank me.

You really are a Christmas angel.

You know, angels are hard to come by.

Don't let her go.

Well I'm just happy I could help.

Come here, you guys. Come here.

This is unbelievable!

I wanna dance. Come on. I gotta dance.

Oh, you meet now?

Yes. Party tonight. My spot.

You know, I know a great little Christmas store

that'll give us donations.

Yes. Come on. We need to celebrate

me staying in my place, getting that money

to get back on my feet and get my daughter back.

Checking off these tasks does feel really good.

So how do I know

I don't already have the Christmas spirit?

Yeah, I'll say...

when that good feeling that you get

isn't about checking off a task or

getting your fortune back.

But what's stopping me from saying that's how I feel now

to get you to check off another task?

You won't.

How do you know?

Because I know you

and I believe that you have too much respect

for Mrs. Brewster and yourself to lie.

You know, I was thinking about calling my Auntie.

It's only two days into my deadline.

You wanna ask her for grace?

No.

I was gonna apologize.

I treated her really bad.

I brushed her off on Thanksgiving

and I was trying to miss Christmas too.

It's never too late to--

No, I think it might be.

She did all this just to help me

and it still won't change the way I treated her.

She's my only family left.

The only person that still cares about me.

She's not the only person.

Uh, you're right.

Opal is great.

Yeah. Opal is.

Let me get this.

Hello?

Yeah.

What?

Are you sure?

All right, I'll follow up.

Thank you.

What's wrong?

The owners of this building are selling.

What?

Yeah, they say they don't mind if we ruffle feathers for Opal

'cause they're selling the Unit Springs.

They don't want the bad publicity

and an angel buyer is stepping into play.

Unfortunately this building

will be no more by the end of the month.

This is my fault.

I never should have called that company.

Morgan, this is not all on you.

It is.

I threatened to blast them on social media

and any news outlets I could reach.

Now all these people celebrating are about

to find out they're gonna be homeless in the new year.

Yeah, this is on me. Excuse me.

She has one day left.

One day. Are you sure?

Yes. I'm sure. There's no way she's gonna be able to fulfill

three challenges by then.

Especially since all her little friends

are about to be homeless.

Yeah.

Wait.

How did you know about that?

I didn't tell you yet.

Well, after you told me how things went at Opal's job,

I decided to give my friend a call who invests in properties

and I helped him to see the value-

Wait, you had someone buy the Unit Springs?

Surprise.

Cheers.

Hey, Opal.

Hi!

I was just checking in on our girl.

You know she disappeared from the party last night.

That party was great, right?

Yes it was.

And she's good. Don't worry about her.

Just getting a little rest.

Okay. Just a little worried about her, you know.

Will you tell her I stopped by?

Of course.

Alright. And will you tell her Ms. Engle brought these for her

to thank her for keeping a roof over my head.

I'll make sure she gets 'em.

Okay, now. Oh, and one last thing.

Will you remind her she's supposed to help me

with the church's Christmas pageant?

She'll be there.

All right.

Hey. It's me.

Pastries from the neighbors.

Just toss 'em. I don't deserve 'em.

Yeah, but I think-

That I'm broke with less than $10 left in my name?

I'm aware.

I deserve to be hungry and homeless after this.

Morgan. You're not going to be homeless.

My deadline is tomorrow.

I'm not in love.

Lost all Christmas hope and joy.

And now I've helped not one but several people go homeless.

That's three outta four tasks not done.

That's it.

Today's the perfect time for a little field trip.

Excuse me.

I mean, Opal says she's expecting you at church, right?

I forgot I committed to that.

Just tell her I can't. Okay?

- Yes, you can. - No.

And church is the perfect place for you right now.

You really gonna leave Jesus waiting?

Go.

Merry Christmas.

At least I ate something this morning.

I don't know if he could say the same.

Hey.

- Oh hey. - Hey.

I started to think you weren't coming.

No, I just didn't feel well this morning.

Was it something you ate at that party?

'cause you know what I told Trevor that that hobo stew

is not funny or tasty.

So how can I help?

Girl, are you okay?

'cause you are not your sparkly self.

Just tell us where you need us and we'll get the job done.

Okay? I think Ms. Gale, it might be done in the lobby.

I can go- yes.

The soloist missing.

Oh, oh my. Okay.

What's wrong?

Our lead soloist is MIA.

I know she has to be around here somewhere,

but we can't move forward without her.

Look, can you do me a favor?

Can you go to the balcony and help with some Christmas

decorations and boxes? Thank you.

- Mm-Hmm? - Hey.

Are you sure you're okay?

Yeah. And thank you, by the way.

'cause I wouldn't have come here without you.

Of course.

Yeah.

Morgan, I need to tell you something.

What's wrong?

Hi.

Of course I could help. Just one second.

Hey.

♪ I was scared of sunlight

I understand that you need a second,

It sounds like your solo's a big deal.

It doesn't mean anything to me.

I've been on hiatus from the choir,

taking care of my grandmother. She's at home on hospice.

The doctor says she could go any day now.

I'm usually there with her by her side,

just taking in as much as I can.

She made me get up, come to rehearsal.

She's scared I'm gonna regret giving up on something

that I'm so passionate about for her

when this doesn't mean anything to me without her.

Well, don't tell her that.

It won't bring her any peace, you know?

She raised me since I was a kid.

I didn't know my parents.

My Christmases were wrapped up in her hand-knitted blankets,

her pecan delights and, and Christmas carols,

because she could sing.

She could really sing.

I haven't had a Christmas without her.

I get it.

No, really I do.

My parents died

and um... I didn't know what to do.

They meant everything to me.

My aunt and uncle took me in and they raised me

like I was their own.

And now this is my first Christmas

without my Uncle Monty.

Everyone expects me to just move on.

Like them being gone doesn't hurt.

But Christmas was our holiday.

All of this reminds me of--

And I used to sing, too.

Every year, just for my uncle.

So you do get it?

Yes I do.

But how proud...

would your grandmother be to see you

rise above your circumstances

and lean on God to get you through?

You can do this.

If I'm being honest, I don't feel prepared or anything.

And I'm not sure why they chose "Indebted" out of all songs.

- But... - Did you say "Indebted"?

Yeah.

My uncle loved that song.

Thank you for not letting me spiral today.

Who knew that getting out and coming here was what I needed.

That wasn't me. All God.

Coming to church always gives you more clarity.

You know?

I thought you weren't supposed to help me.

This wasn't about the challenge.

I just wanted to be there for you.

Why?

Why do you care so much?

You know, um,

probably because I'm an amazing friend.

Is that what you are?

Well...

Merry Christmas, friend.

Merry Christmas.

I am not a child.

You don't need to babysit me.

Well, from the looks of it, I do.

So that's the problem? You're falling for her.

You have no idea what you're talking about.

No. Only what I saw.

And it's clear you're smitten with her.

- Hey. - Hey.

- Hey Opal. - Yeah?

I'm so sorry. Have you seen Andrew?

No, I haven't.

Okay.

I'm fighting for our jobs.

No, you're playing dirty to get what you want.

Did you forget the plan?

Screw up her challenges so she fails and we win.

I didn't forget the plan.

Well good.

Because you are just as instrumental in her demise.

Even more so because she trusts you.

I'm well aware of what I've done.

So you just remember that if you get yourself righteous

and try to run to her Auntie, your hands are dirty too.

Thought you was here till tomorrow.

Did something change? You speak with your aunt?

No, but I left her a message and told her I'm done.

Going on my prepaid trip around the world

and forget any of this ever happened.

Morgan, you're almost there.

- You can really- - I can do it?

I shouldn't give up?

Save it.

Morgan. What're-

How long were you gonna keep the charade going?

Oh, you're good.

Your commitment to this whole lie is really impressive.

Why don't I help you?

I know everything.

Tiffany.

Yes and no.

Look, I was going to tell you.

When?

At church.

At church today?

Right before my deadline? Yeah, that's great timing.

Look, If you let me, I-

You were by my side through everything.

And I'm still by your side. I have your back.

Did you or did you not lie to me?

Try to get me to trust you

so that you could sabotage me behind my back.

I did.

Okay. Then there's nothing left to say.

Hey.

Thanks for calling me a car.

Well, you said it was an emergency.

You know I was gonna be there for you.

Wait a minute.

Are you quitting?

No, I just lost.

But tomorrow is Christmas Eve.

Christmas Eve, midnight is your deadline.

Auntie.

I messed with other people's lives trying to fix my own

and I made everything worse for them.

So...

And there's nothing you can do?

I know you were trying to prove that money

doesn't matter, but that's just not true.

Everybody around me was suffering

because of what they didn't have.

And that was all about money.

Yes.

Then why aren't you happy?

You spent a lot of money trying to ignore your pain.

Did it work?

Sweetie.

This whole thing was not a punishment.

I did it out of love.

But you don't wanna see that.

You wanna feel entitled to your pain.

But I want you to think about this for a moment.

Are you telling me that everyone you met,

every life you touched,

could only find happiness with money?

Or...

Was it about family?

I don't know.

I guess I helped a little bit.

So? Keep going.

Why, when the whole game is rigged?

Oh, what are you talking about?

What if I just let everybody down again?

Then at least you can say you tried.

Here.

Open it.

Honey.

Go home to Unit Springs and see.

Tomorrow is a new day and it's Christmas Eve.

Anything can happen.

I love you.

But Auntie's tired. I'm going back to bed.

Opal, I told you I'm good, girl.

What are you doing here?

I know you don't trust me and you probably hate me now.

True.

But I'm more upset that it's Christmas Eve

and I've only done one task.

What are you doing? I didn't complete that.

There's something you need to see.

May I show you?

Morgan.

Please?

Where are we?

Toya's house. She's been trying to reach you.

She wanted to thank you.

For what?

For helping her face her pain.

For helping her send her Nana off with the love she deserves.

Some of the ladies from church yesterday

brought her Nana there to watch the rehearsal.

She sat in the back quietly and enjoyed it all.

When we left Toya and her Nana shared a beautiful moment.

So now when she sings that service,

she'll have that memory.

She said it gave her peace.

And that's because of you.

You're doing that.

You have a big purpose.

Don't let me, Tiffany or anybody

stop what you're supposed to be doing in this moment.

So you're not worried about what's-

I'm not.

All I want to do is...

help you make things right.

This is bigger than the both of us.

Girl, you are cutting it close.

It is 11:55 PM.

I wasn't sure you were gonna show up.

Who is this?

Big Ty.

What is he doing here?

He's here because he bought the Unit Springs.

Impossible.

I heard the Unit Springs already had a buyer.

"Had" being the operative word.

Some recent events inspired me to start uh,

investing in lower income housing and Unit Springs

is a great option as a starter.

And of course I offered above the asking price

and got the other buyer knocked out.

Now all the families can stay

and have an owner who actually cares.

Oh, Morgan, this wonderful.

With that being said, that's another task completed.

Another one, but not all of 'em.

And it's almost midnight. So I'm sorry, Morgan, you lose.

Well, I'm fine with that.

I'd rather start from scratch than be anything like you.

You want the keys to the kingdom?

You can have 'em.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Oh, I think you do.

Andrew here told me everything,

including his role in this entire mess.

So don't even try it.

And my baby girl could have ratted you out

and bought herself more grace and time, but she didn't.

She did her best regardless of your shenanigans.

And I couldn't be more proud.

Well, please remember that when I'm living outta my car

in your driveway.

Not if we can help it.

Thank you for calling.

Thanks for coming.

This house is dope!

What are you all doing here?

You had our backs, so we had to come and have yours.

Ma'am, you raised one of the most kindest women

I've ever known.

And quite honestly, I just want to tell you about-

Nope. Nope. Nope. Absolutely not. Okay?

She did what she did for money.

Before you guys all make me out to be the enemy

I just wanna say that I'm one of you.

I grew up like you.

I started from scratch

and I worked for every single thing that I have.

I take care of my mom

and I still give 200 percent at work every single day.

But Morgan,

Morgan spends one month

with a few troubles and all of a sudden

she's the queen of Christmas?

Oh my God. Come on.

You guys have gotta see through this.

She's right.

I originally did this for the money.

I'm not a saint, but I am a Brewster,

which means I'm strong,

So... I'll figure things out on my own.

That's right.

Because she said you're not a saint, but you are an angel.

It doesn't matter who you were,

it matters who you are right now.

Amen.

And we know this Morgan. And we like this Morgan.

We love this Morgan.

I've seen everything up close.

How much you've grown in the past 30 days.

Everything you did was real.

I know I hurt you,

but I promise to do everything I can to earn your trust back.

Look...

If you're starting from scratch

then we're starting from scratch.

I'm gonna be there for you,

supporting you,

helping you

building with you,

because I believe in you.

♪ Are you gonna take me home

Sounds good to me.

I'm gonna get my kiss this time.

Okay.

♪ Never wanna let go ♪

♪ Are you gonna take me home?

♪ 'Cause I don't wanna spend this night alone ♪

♪ Are you gonna take me home?

Welp. That's the deadline.

You know you are right.

Congratulations Morgan.

You completed your final task before midnight.

And if what the two of you share isn't an example

of opening your hearts to love,

I don't know what is.

So you not only get your accounts

and Brewster Inc. back,

but you will be the sole beneficiary of Brewster's Dynasty.

Congratulations, baby.

But why?

Oh honey, it was always a plan.

We were just holding it down until you were ready.

And Andrew...

I hope you'll help her build this company out into the dream

her Uncle Monty always had.

I promise I will.

So what about me?

What about you?

- Auntie? - Hmm?

Can it be my call?

Sure. Okay.

Why don't you and I meet with HR

so we can figure out a plan to help your mom

while you find a new job?

Why would you do that for me?

♪ What is it about Christmas?

'Cause, dear.

It's Christmas.

I'm so proud of you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Never thought I'd be taking over the family business

focused on serving our community,

being responsible for our legacy.

Honestly, I'm a little scared,

but... I'm gonna make you all proud.

I promise.

I wouldn't be where I am without you all.

I really love you.

Thank you.

Thanks.

Hey.

So good to see you. You look great.

Oh my- oh my goodness!

Hi!

Where are you guys doing here?

Finding them was easy.

If your sister is your emergency contact.

We thought what a better time for Mariah to move back in

with her mother than Christmas day?

This is the best day ever!

Excuse me one moment. Okay?

Morgan.

I can't, you know, my counselor,

she has to sign off on all this-

It's done.

Your pastor helped me reach out to her.

She approved it.

I- I don't understand.

I- I don't have my... money yet.

I don't, I- I don't have a place to move.

She was really excited to hear about your new job offer.

New job?

Ty is gonna start fixing up the Unit Springs finally.

And he needs a new manager.

- What? - So?

Opal?

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Go.

You know, I couldn't be more grateful.

I actually thought my foreman days were over.

Hey man, you're doing me a favor.

It's hard to find contractors you can trust.

And who knew Jacob would be the dream foreman

I needed to see these renovations through?

Oh, man.

God knew. And you, Ms. Morgan,

thanks again for everything.

Oh, you don't have to thank me.

Just name your first album after me and we'll be good.

Man. Break me off some of your Brewster's millions,

and then we could talk.

Oh, that's my guy.

Oh no, he didn't.

He said it with a straight face too.

You had to have taught him that.

What you doing? You like that?

Turn them cookies up. This place is amazing.

Yes. See you guys later.

Hey, beautiful.

Hi.

So, was that you?

It was. Everybody deserves a second chance.

Plus, it's Christmas

Just when I thought you couldn't surprise me anymore.

Well, I need to start thinking like a CEO

if I'm running things around here now.

I have to look into the other companies.

I helped make sure there aren't any other

neglected units floating around.

And I'm also thinking about finishing law school.

Maybe I can help more people like Opal.

Now, you know, I like the way you think.

Now, top of the year I will be doing my retirement.

So it'll all be yours.

Thank you.

Oh baby. It's what we do.

No, really thank you.

And I'm sorry about everything.

I know.

But it is nice to hear you say it.

Oh baby, your Uncle Monty would be so proud of you.

I love you baby girl.

Love you too.

Shall we hit the dance floor

and continue this holiday tradition?

I would like that.

So...

So.

You know, you basically just gave me your heart

in front of everybody, right?

No, I wouldn't say all of that.

Not me.

Hmm.

Well I got it all recorded, so...

Incriminating evidence.

I like you.

And I'm very, very guilty.

Everything I said was true.

Well I'm glad.

Thank you for not letting me give up.

I never will.

So what about now?

Would you like to take a trip around the world with me?

For you?

I'll go anywhere.

Merry Christmas, Morgan Brewster.

Merry Christmas.
