Previously on Holidazed.

Mom has already gone off with the wedding plans.

The only issue is...

my grandmother doesn't know that I'm gay.

You are...

This is my good friend.

I love the smell of family dysfunction at the holidays.

To the marriage of Marcus and Ella.

Cheers.

[light clicks on]

Something you'd like to say to me?

Uh...

Congratulations on your engagement?

I know and I am so sorry.

It's just that grandma's really traditional.

- [thudding] - Seriously.

Oh, wonderful. It's my bride to be.

Hey. I don't wanna spend Christmas in an Asian reboot

of The Birdcage anymore than you do.

So you can redirect that shade towards my lying brother.

Okay, I didn't lie.

I just didn't correct Grandma when she got confused

about who's actually getting married.

[door opens]

- [thudding] - Ah!

Is this where you guys have all your family meetings?

We're so sorry about that.

Trust me, this is not how any of us wanted

to spend the holidays.

Where is Grandma, by the way?

I told her Judge Judy is on. Her idol.

That should keep her busy for a while.

I hope.

Okay, guys. I think I see what's happening here.

It's called anxious resistance attachment.

Grandma Lin has been inconsistent

in meeting your needs

which has triggered a fear of abandonment

which has resulted in four fully-grown adults

living in fear of a tiny old woman.

Does that sound about right?

Tiny but powerful.

And terrifying.

We just have to avoid all stress

until she gets a clean bill of health next year.

Doctor's orders.

And what exactly is stressful about her grandson

being engaged to the man he loves?

Babe, she's over 80.

Yeah, and she doesn't like any kind of change.

Ever. Steve, tell him.

Oh. Once, some of her employees wanted to implement

casual Fridays, and when she found out,

she instituted a new policy... formal Fridays.

[gasps] Not formal Fridays.

And she actually bought our local paper

because they were going to stop printing her favorite section.

The obituaries.

She likes to keep score of who she's outlived.

Okay, let's just zoom out a bit.

Where are we having this conversation?

Look around.

In a closet.

Literally.

Excuse me, Mr. Lin.

[all grunting]

Come on.

It's a metaphor, hon.

Right. The closet.

Got it.

Morning.

[knocking on door]

How'd you sleep?

Just fine.

It's great, actually. It's a super comfortable bed.

See? And you get a little break from my snoring.

Yeah, but I like your snoring.

It's like my own personal white noise machine.

I'm sorry, babe.

I feel terrible that we put you in this position.

Yeah, as you should.

You know, it's one thing for me to pretend to be

the family friend for a few hours.

It's a whole other to fake a wedding.

We're out, we're proud.

We should be planning our actual...

Wait... wait a minute. Where's your engagement ring?

I just moved it.

I know, I know.

But here's what you have to understand about Grandma Lin.

My dad wasn't interested in the family business

and Ella's this outspoken free spirit.

Then I come along and I'm ready to carry on her legacy.

Okay, well maybe the healthier choice would be to consider

a job that doesn't require you to hide from your employer.

Okay, but it's not about my job.

This is about my special relationship with her.

It's like we have this mutual admiration society

where I'm, like, the chosen one.

And our love changes that?

I hate to think it would, but...

'Cause you're gonna have to tell her eventually.

Yeah.

We are getting married next year.

Of course.

But as backward and regressive as it may be,

this one little white lie would make Christmas

a whole lot easier.

Easier for her or easier for you?

Okay, for the both of us.

I'm still gathering the courage to tell her.

Because?

Because... I'm afraid she's gonna look at me differently.

And everything's gonna fall apart.

So the whole family's worried about her heart

and meanwhile you're worried about breaking it.

Wow. Have you ever considered being a therapist?

Hmm. Yeah, it's funny you should mention that.

I am one, actually.

No. I was so sure you were a model.

Okay, okay. Don't push it.

Thank you.

♪ Love the season,

Oh, finally! Okay, so we need some Velveeta.

Uh... Can you write this down? It's in the drawer.

Yeah. Open it up.

Okay, we're gonna need

a case of beer and Worcestershire sauce.

What are you making, toxic drain cleaner?

Beer cheese with samosas,

which I'll serve with the Frito pie masala.

Wait, for Christmas Eve?

But you always make roast pork and dumplings.

Oh, not this year.

I'm surprising Marcus with a whole spread

of his favorite childhood dishes.

I chatted with his mom, Amal, in Ohio and got all the recipes.

Very interesting stuff.

Anyway, it's the least we could do

considering everything we're putting him through.

Oh... we'll also need, uh, some mini hot dogs,

peppers and onions for the kebabs.

Can Nai Nai even eat that stuff with her heart?

That's a very good point.

Her doctors are more concerned about her stress than her diet.

Come on. Her cholesterol is impeccable.

Mom, look at yourself.

You're buzzing around the kitchen in a frenzy

over a meal all for your future son in law.

This is why Carly Tarp says she'll never get married.

Is that a fish?

Dad, she's like the Oprah of Tik Tok.

[gasps]

That's a good tweet, hold on.

You now, maybe Ella's right.

Maybe it's better to stick with tradition.

That's definitely not what I said.

Do you even care what we eat?

Or are you just afraid to tell your mother

there's been a change of plans.

I think we all know the answer to that.

Wow. Nai Nai really does control everything,

including your relationship.

Now that's not true. I control our relationship.

I don't know, seems to me that all marriages are prisons

and in-laws are the wardens.

Another perfect tweet. I'm on fire today.

Sweetie, just remember.

When the warden's around we are very pro marriage.

Especially yours.

I can't believe you're expecting me

to go along with this.

It's bad enough that Ted has sold his soul to Big Wedding

and now I have to pretend to do the same?

Come on, Ella. We're gonna need your help here.

What's in it for me?

A peaceful holiday with your family.

Hmm. Whatever.

When is the wedding date?

Um... oh, uh...

we don't actually have a date per se.

Not in the traditional years or months, no.

I think you guys were talking about having a long engagement.

Right?

Yeah, like summer after next?

After next.

[tsking]

You are getting married

during the Chinese New Year in February.

Very close to Valentine's Day.

My favorite holiday.

Oh, Mom.

Why don't we talk about Christmas Eve this year.

Dinner.

Why?

We always have pork and dumplings every year.

And I want to know what you're going to serve for the wedding.

I need details.

They don't really have any of the details worked out yet.

So... what is this?

Oh! I think that's more of a vision board, you know.

Nothing's set in stone.

Ice towers? Tulum?

Chrysanthemums?

They're all for funerals.

Terrible!

Marcus...

Our Chinese wedding tradition's very important

and it's good I'm here to help.

And I have made an appointment to have a photoshoot session

for your engagement today.

Wait, what?

What?

[all chatting]

Mom, there's still so much prep we need

to do for Christmas dinner.

Lois is right. It's all hands on deck this year.

Oh. You stay, help your wife, huh?

I handle the wedding.

Let's get going!

You will love the photoshoot.

Very elaborate.

Elaborate.

[camera shutter snaps]

There are no words.

I got a few for Ted.

Okay. Ella, Marcus, big smiles!

Just imagine today is your wedding day.

You guys are officially husband and wife.

[camera shutter snaps]

They look like two broken mops.

He should pick her up.

Not with his back.

I handle camera shy couples all the time, Mrs. Lin.

Trust me, they'll warm up.

Okay, um... let's just try looking at each other.

[camera shutter snaps]

Okay.

This is a disaster.

They just need to loosen up a little!

Maybe think of something funny. Like a good joke.

[Fake laughter]

Forget fiancés. They two look like strangers.

Worse.

Err... do you mind if I go give them a little pep talk?

It might help.

Oh, be my guest. Go.

Okay.

I'm going to go have a chat with them, thank you.

Hey guys. Hey. So, here's the thing.

You're not selling it.

We're trying.

I mean, surely you can understand

the awkward circumstances.

What did you expect?

Okay. Remember when you did Les Mis your junior year?

You told me I was terrible.

Yes, you were.

But you threw yourself into that role.

I need you to summon that same scenery chewing energy

and channel that into this.

Babe, you're not listening. It's just...

Oh, you gotta do that thing you do when you have

a really boring patient.

What is it that I do?

You fake it. You fake it!

Alright, big smiles. You got this.

Big smiles.

[sighs]

You know, if it's our wedding, let's make it... our wedding.

Boo.

Back at you, boo.

Okay, yeah.

[camera shutter snaps]

Oh, look at that. Nai Nai, what do you think?

[camera shutter snaps]

Much better.

[laughs]

Oh. It's time in which we see Chung Shifu.

Chung Shifu?

Oh, you didn't know? She's my fortune teller.

She will determine their compatibility

and she's never wrong.

- Oh. Okay. - Come and meet her.

Uh... yeah.

We're gonna... we're gonna wrap this up

and see the fortune teller.

[in unison] - Fortune teller?

This is highly unusual.

Unusual how?

Based on your dates and time of birth, the two of you are...

A perfect match.

Err... they're perfect?

Really? Come on.

Ted shut up!

Go on.

It's rare. But for you two there is a divine connection.

One that transcends all barriers to your love.

No offense, but how long have you been doing this?

[in Chinese]

Oh, it's not all rainbows and moonbeams.

You, my dear, will need to... how do you young ones say it?

Loosen the bone.

Loosen the bone?

Your need to control

could put unwanted stress on your marriage.

Interesting.

Um, but do you see any happiness

in the future for them?

Without question.

[sighs]

Loosen the bone.

So, let's settle up.

Of course, Mrs. Lin.

Well, that was clearly a sham.

Really? ‘Cause I think she was bang on.

I gave her your birthdate instead of mine.

Wait, really?

So that fortune was for Marcus and me?

Mmhmm.

Our future.

How romantic.

Yeah.

She said we were perfect except for your control issues.

♪ I fa-la-la-la love it

You must serve sweet and sticky,

to show the sweetness of your love,

and how in hard times you stick together.

We know a thing or two about that.

Carrot cake for a wedding? That seems a bit pedestrian.

And that's why we love it.

Thank you.

Thank you, Boo.

You're welcome, Boo.

[in unison] Mmm.

Oh, and if you could make it more carroty.

Let's go and choose your bouquet.

I buy all my friends flowers here.

Oh, Mrs. Lin, that's so sweet.

For their funerals.

Oh... wow.

Orchids symbolizes love and fertility.

[sneezes]

Sorry. I thought we said no flowers.

You said no flowers.

[sneezes]

Wait outside, you're making a scene.

Hey. Don't worry, I have a surprise for you.

I look like a gay elf.

[laughs]

Would you rather look like a straight elf?

Hey, hey, don't worry.

Nobody's gonna be looking at you,

you're just the brother of the bride.

It's my day.

You're really enjoying this, aren't you?

Hey. No, no, no.

I'm faking it just like you asked.

Let me straighten that tie, though.

This is almost as bad

as the suit you were wearing when we met.

Hey. That was my travel suit.

Got me through an eight-hour layover at O'Hare.

You didn't seem to mind when you started chatting me up.

I had low blood sugar. You had Skittles.

You were using me for a sugar fix.

I knew it.

I was.

But then I started fixating on something else.

Why do you think I changed my seat before boarding?

Yeah, that was a bit of a dead giveaway.

Who leaves business class to sit in coach with a stranger?

Someone who was thinking,

“I just met the man I'm gonna marry”.

[tender music]

[Nai Nai] Come out, Ella.

♪

Let's see the beautiful bride.

That bad, huh?

It's flawless.

This is the one.

I wore a very traditional red and gold Cheongsam.

So did your mother.

But you are a modern young lady. You set your own tradition.

And this is the perfect compromise.

Elegant and simple.

Lets your natural beauty shine through.

Ella Lin? It's Peyton... Matthews.

Peyton.

- From high school. - Hi.

It's been so long.

Like, a hundred years, I know.

But I feel like I see you everyday

‘cause I follow you on Twitter.

Oh...

Just like every other person on the planet.

That's sweet of you.

And don't feel bad about not following me back, by the way.

It's totally fine.

I'm just obsessed with all of your hot takes

on the patriarchal structure of romantic love.

Which is why it is blowing my mind

to see you here of all places.

You are literally the last person I would ever expect

to see in a wedding dress.

Who are you marrying?

Um... well... I, uh...

Wait, hold that thought. We have to get a selfie.

Oh, I don't think...

No, no, it's fine. I'll tag you.

Obvi.

Um...

Say traditional gender roles.

[camera clicks]

A selfie tag of me in a wedding dress.

I know, but... Okay, what'd you do?

Well, I DM'd her with this bizarre explanation, like,

“hey girl, this is for a super top-secret social media project

"where I'm going to ironic marry myself online”.

That does sound like something you would do.

Did she post the picture?

Not that I can find.

Did you follow her back?

What? God, no.

This could be really bad for me.

I know. I'm sorry, Ella.

I sent her a couple messages asking her to delete it

so let's just hope she responds.

I'm gonna fix it.

Promise.

Marcus. I question your engagement, young man.

Oh. Let me try and explain.

Why Ella doesn't have a ring?

The ring.

Right.

Uh... well, you see, I'm just waiting for the right moment.

Ah.

It's stunning.

It was my mother's.

I offered it to Steve for Lois but he wanted to buy a new one.

And I understand that.

I can be modern you know.

[chuckles]

My dream is to have this ring in the family.

And now I can.

And my mother would be so happy.

It's an honor. Thank you.

A little undeserved, but...

I want to see this ring on Ella's finger today.

Understood? Hmm?

Understood.

She's onto us. Alright?

She's calling our bluff. This... this is a test.

Trust me. I just saw a whole new side of her.

She was sincere.

This isn't a test.

It's a gift.

Not just any gift. This is her prized possession.

She's basically giving her heart... to a lie.

Oh, God.

Okay, that's it.

I have to tell her the truth.

Yes. No.

Look, I've already made Ella compromise her beliefs.

I've made you compromise your professional ethics.

I can't even put my arms around you.

And now this.

I have to tell her the truth.

And I have to believe she loves me enough to understand.

[contemplative music]

Too empty and too crowded.

Nai Nai?

Hi.

There's something I want to talk to you about.

I know what this is about, Ted.

You do?

Yes.

But I was going to talk to you about it after Christmas.

And it may come as a surprise.

I'm getting older.

Huh?

What?

You're a spring chicken.

You look amazing.

You're like Benjamin Button.

[Ella] No, you're only getting younger.

This company needs a new leader.

Too much stress on me.

So I'm stepping down right after the holiday.

[all] What?

I just hope no one is going to give me another heart attack

in the next two weeks.

[nervous laughter]

We will try our best.

Ah, so...

in the beginning of the year,

Ted is going to be the new CEO.

- Ted! - That's great.

I... don't... uh...

I thought you wanted this.

I... I do. More than anything.

Or almost anything.

So what is it then?

There's something else.

The thing is... Marcus and I...

We...

We were talking and...

I've asked Ted to be my best man.

Oh, good!

I don't need a formal announcement

but I know how you young people are.

Always want attention.

[laughs]

And this is what I call husband material.

[laughing]

Your best man? What was that?

We were so close.

Why didn't you let him drop the lie?

I thought that's what you wanted.

Babe...

[in unison] What?

Not boo.

Oh.

Babe, listen to me.

I'm so proud of you for telling the truth.

Trying to tell the truth.

Yes. But as a therapist,

I can't ask you to disrupt your family

and come out to someone before you're ready.

And as your fiancé I can't be the one who puts

your grandmother in the hospital on Christmas Eve.

I can handle another night in the guest room.

Away from your snoring.

Thank you.

That is... as long as you're okay to play your part

for a bit longer?

You're asking for an encore?

Okay, before you answer that.

[gasps]

Will you be my fake wife slash sister-in-law?

I will do anything for my fans.

Wow. I can't believe she gave us the ring.

I've always loved this thing. It's so beautiful.

Well, I might as well enjoy it while it lasts.

I'll have to give it back when she finds out

I'm not actually getting married.

[sighs]

I'm really starting to hate this closet.

We wanted to surprise Marcus

with a meal of his favorite childhood dishes.

Oh?

So, instead of the traditional roast pork and dumplings...

we're having Frito Pie Masala and Jell-O pie

But we could make something for you if you prefer.

and then she would just throw in whatever spices

she had in the kitchen.

Well, it's delicious.

And we'll have plenty of leftovers.

Too bad I won't be here to enjoy them.

And I can't believe I'm going to Palm Springs tomorrow.

We're sorry to see you go, Nai Nai.

At least I got to plan my grandchild's wedding.

But... one thing bothers me.

None of my friends got to see the paper.

It's all sold out... everywhere.

Well the Christmas edition is usually,

a really hot issue.

Yeah. I mean, so many breaking stories.

The pre-school pageant, the weather report...

It's basically a collector's item.

Oh! What?

Oh my God.

Steve! Did you pay the power bill?

Of course I did, Ma.

It's gotta be the storm.

I mean, it might be the whole block.

I think the neighbors are out too.

I think I have some lanterns in the shed.

I'll go grab them.

Ella, do you need a lighter?

I'll help.

[Lois] Okay. I've got... I've got one here for you.

[Ella] Okay.

[Lois] You know how it works, right?

[Ella] Yeah.

[thunder rumbling]

Hi.

You found them?

Yeah. All set.

Should we go inside?

Absolutely not.

You're soaking wet.

Definitely beats being in the closet.
