Do you wanna come with me or stay here with them?

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

To Marcus and Ella.

[thunder crashes]

You've been here three days

and you've destroyed Annie's friendship with Max

and my relationship.

I'm done.

I should just go.

Thirty-five years is a lot to leave behind.

This is Linda, my...

Ex wife.

Nice to meet you.

What if I didn't leave it behind?

Kevin broke up with me.

Worst Christmas ever.

He tipped my ladder!

[laughs]

I might be sick and not one of you asked me how I was feeling.

Three... two...

- [camera shutter snaps] - [electricity zaps]

Well, now that was not my fault.

- [thunder crashing] - Aw, Dad. What did you do?

Why does everybody always think it's my fault?

Because it usually is.

Uh...

Please tell me we are not gonna spend Christmas without power.

We are gonna have a very bright Christmas

in three... two... one...

[electricity zaps]

[all cheering]

I programmed the back-up batteries

to kick in about 30 seconds after power loss.

[all laughing]

My boy.

Uh... guys?

None of the neighbors have power.

The storm must've taken out some lines.

I smell victory.

No, I think what you mean is that we're so lucky

to have power, and in the spirit of Christmas we are going

to share our good fortune with our neighbors.

We need to let them know.

Oh, they're gonna know, Connie.

[laughs]

They're gonna know.

[thunder crashes]

Clarice! Not only do they have power,

they are rubbing it in our faces.

[knocking on door]

[whispering] - Hi. Merry Christmas.

[whispering] Merry Christmas.

Oh. I brought coffee.

Why?

Well I figured you've been up late working on the bike.

I have, yeah. Still working on it.

It's impossible to finish in the dark.

Can I help? I am the expert.

I mean, what aren't you great at?

Yeah. Apparently, uh, saying goodbye.

Yeah. Come on.

Okay.

Mmm.

[laughs]

Santa has arrived.

This is gonna be, like, the best designed bike ever.

Really brings me back.

Oh yeah, I know.

Cruising down Main Street, one hand on the handlebars.

Alright. I was also pretty good hands-free.

If you were good hands-free I wouldn't have pulled you over.

Are you sure there isn't another reason

that you pulled me over?

Oh, who's that smoke-show driving through my town?

He must be stopped.

Hundred percent sure.

You know, 99 percent would've left me

with one percent of hope.

Let's put this up on our feet.

Okay.

Hey, um... why aren't you on a plane to Sydney?

Flight was cancelled.

Oh. I'm sorry.

I'm not.

Josh, I...

I wanna know...

is there something happening between us?

What's happening is a repeat of high school.

We're in different worlds with different lives.

Um... You should go.

It'll be confusing for Theo if you're here.

I hope he loves this bike as much as I did.

I'm sure he will.

Hey, I... I appreciate everything you did for him.

It doesn't come close to... what he did for me.

[front door shuts]

[Theo] It's Christmas!

It's Christmas!

[Theo] Whoa! I could put Legos on that.

[Nora] Yeah!

- [bike bell dings] - [Nora] You could.

Oh, my goodness.

Don't worry Annie, we'll find Aunt Sylvie.

Oh.

[tense music]

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas to you.

You go first.

I don't mind waiting.

Please.

After you. You're the guest.

Look, I've been sensing a little tension.

It's nothing.

I'm just caught a little off-guard

seeing you in the shirt I bought for my husband.

Robert is a gentleman.

He's asleep on the sofa downstairs.

Oh. Okay then.

[door slams]

Sylvie!

Sylvie.

I thought you were closed on Christmas.

I'm so glad you're okay.

Well, I wouldn't go that far.

Sleeping in a booth wasn't ideal.

Why didn't you just come back to the house?

I didn't exactly feel welcome.

Which is understandable, I mean,

I pretty much made a mess of things.

My life could use a little messing up.

And besides, you're, um... you're really very good at that.

It's a very underrated skillset.

Why didn't you tell me about Christophe?

I was embarrassed.

I mean, here I am telling both of you to take a risk

and the first time I put myself out there for love

it explodes in my face.

Well... I think it took a lot of courage

and I'm really proud of you.

[sighs]

And I know you want a family of your own someday.

But until then... you've got Annie and me.

Where do you want us to put these?

On the kitchen counter.

Okay.

But... but... I'll take those.

[Lois] Okay.

Who are you?

I'm Wally, I'm the son in law.

Do you have a job, Wally?

Uh, yeah. Yeah.

I'm a contractor, I work for Chuck.

And a certified lifeguard.

Okay. Well...

can teenagers be ordained ministers?

How about that?

Ah. A minister.

Interesting.

Good news!

The Manetti-Hanahan's are welcoming all neighbors

at their house.

No offense, Mom.

But I don't think I'm ready to see Katie yet.

I'm with Kevin.

Or you could go to a place with power,

cook up something special, and complete your video.

What, and go by myself?

No. Your father and I will go too.

Not a chance.

We'll see about that.

The Camarenas are the only ones who haven't come over.

Can you please go get them?

Connie, your house is lit up like the Statue of Liberty.

Send us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses.

The word's out.

If the Camarenas don't wanna come over, that's by choice.

You know they're not gonna come over

unless they've been invited.

[sighs]

Come on.

Alright, fair enough. You, my dear, must feed Dasher.

Are you serious?

Poor guy hasn't even had breakfast yet.

Just start him out with the carrots.

Save the apples for dessert. You're gonna be great.

But...

You can't have all of ‘em.

♪

Merry Christmas.

Well, it certainly is for you I see.

Look... I was hoping...

In the spirit of the holidays-

...we could settle our differences

and that I could just, we could have some...

Wait.

Did your wife put you up to this?

In so many words.

Yes. You?

Oh yeah. But not in so many words.

[laughing]

What do you say, you and I agree on a Christmas truce?

For one day. I can handle that.

Yeah. There you go.

Yeah. Right on.

[Connie] Alright. Cookies...

There you go, Manny. Right this way, pal.

I think if we put it on the island here, we'll be all set.

Hey honey. Wait until you get a load of this haul.

Oh...

And Manny... may I buy you a drink?

Can you make it a double?

Yes sir. Follow me.

[laughing]

Behave.

Thanks for the invite, Connie.

Do you wanna help me with these wine glasses?

Uh... as long as they're going some place where there's wine.

I think that can be arranged.

Oh.

I shall lead the way.

And I will follow.

Merry Christmas. Thank you for having us.

Of course.

Where's Kevin?

Home.

[sighs]

Katie. When Kevin sees

that we can put the past behind us he will too.

I'm sure of it.

You really think so?

I do.

‘Cause if he doesn't,

then he's gonna have to deal with big sister

and he doesn't wanna mess with me. Right?

[Gaby laughs]

What's all this?

I never got to finish my audition video.

Deadline is in 12 hours.

What's your plan?

No idea.

Look, I know you're the expert.

I'm definitely not trying to step on any toes.

Katie, just say it.

You talk a lot about what a holiday meal could be.

It should be.

But maybe you just focus on what it actually is.

Look around.

There's all these people

and they have different traditions and different foods.

Oh, but it looks like fun and it smells like heaven

and it just feels like... [both] home.

Oh, that's brilliant. Yeah.

Will you help me?

Yeah. I would love to.

Oh.

Well, how about a drink?

Oh, a mimosa would be great.

Oh, alright. One sec.

So the question is, did your wife misrepresent the situation

to get you to sign?

Maybe not but doesn't that mean that little chiseler

should give me my money back?

Well that's the thing about lawyers.

Mistake or no, we always get paid.

Oh, for the love of God.

If I got paid every time I made a mistake

I'd be Bill Gates, wouldn't I?

[laughing]

Oh, you're empty there Daddy.

Would you please?

Thanks for the input.

You got it.

Oh! You seem to be having a good time.

I never imagined having Christmas

with people I don't know.

Well, isn't that your comfort zone?

Well, maybe the old me but things are beginning to change

and, uh, I kinda like it.

So... Where's Gail?

I told her I didn't wanna jump into a new relationship.

Oh. Okay.

Where's Evan?

He went to get me a mimosa.

Nice.

Well if you don't mind, I'm gonna mingle.

Okay.

Hey honey.

Why don't you go see if Max is here?

I don't know.

Listen, everyone eventually falls flat on their face. Okay?

Myself being the prime example.

Here's the thing about Woods girls.

We get back up again... every time, no matter what.

Okay. Going in.

Yeah.

[laughing]

Hi. Lucy.

Hey.

Um... Are these the Joy Bars everyone is talking about?

Everyone's talking about them?

Are they vegan?

Um...

No. Not even close.

What is in these?

Uh... just a little bit of sugar and a whole lotta joy.

[laughing]

What the hell.

Oh my God.

Sorry. Mmm.

[Rebecca] So good.

Well, no one likes an "I told you so". So...

Hey, uh, speaking of falling flat on your face.

I invited Cole.

Sylvie!

What? I didn't want him to spend Christmas Day alone.

[bike horn honking]

[laughing]

Uh, Mom... why are there two coffee cups?

Oh, um...

Was Santa here?

No. Well, I mean, yes.

Santa came here last night while we were sleeping of course.

Santa.

Um... But those are from Josh.

Josh?

He stopped by to check up on us this morning.

You mean he didn't go to Australia?

Not yet.

His flight was delayed ‘cause of the storm.

Yes! I made a present for him, Mom.

We have to get it to him before he leaves.

Oh...

[Theo] Mom! Start the car!

[glasses clinking]

Ah. You three deserve more than champagne.

Thank you for navigating what was certainly not the Christmas

you were expecting.

It's almost over.

Yeah.

I'm not feeling very well.

Oh.

Mom. Is it your heart?

Ella, give me your phone. I'm calling 911.

No!

Nai Nai, be reasonable. Let's just go to the hospital.

I think it's only gas.

I couldn't stop eating the Frito Pie Masala.

Are you sure, Ma?

I know what a heart attack feels like but this is not it.

[sighs]

But it got me thinking.

What if I'm not around next Christmas?

Impossible.

You're still so young.

You're stronger than Steve!

In some ways.

I want to witness your wedding while I'm still alive.

And you will, Nai Nai.

I mean today.

[in unison] - Today?

I mean, even...

even if they wanted to, that's just not possible.

It is possible.

Wally!

Come here.

Am I in trouble?

Can you do a wedding today?

I sure can.

Wally is a professional minister.

You are?

Online.

Nai Nai, I just feel like this is all very rushed.

In the traditional Chinese culture,

you do not say no to the elders.

Okay Wally, let's pick a location.

I have just the spot.

Guys, do something!

We were so close!

I told you.

I can't believe this is happening.

Really?

Seems like a highly probable outcome

given we've spent the last couple of days

acting like a fake couple for a fake wedding.

Look, I was down to help you guys

through an awkward situation

but we are moving from bad to unforgivable!

Okay, we can't come clean now. Alright?

You just heard her.

She's already having chest pains.

You do understand that the next step in this ruse

is that we actually get married!

Well you don't have to make it sound like a death sentence.

For a gay man who's in love with your brother

it pretty much is.

Yeah. I see your point.

We just have to reassess our thinking.

In business school we were taught that sometimes

you just have to take the path that is the least bad.

And that is?

I have no idea.

[sighs]

Hey. Did you hear there's gonna be a wedding?

Yes, I heard.

Spur of the moment as I understand it.

Nothing like young love. [laughs]

Remember when our wedding got started early?

Yes. Preacher suddenly had to be some place else.

Well not exactly. That was my doing.

I was so nervous, I just knew you were gonna get cold feet.

So I figured the less time would work in my favor.

Well why would I get cold feet?

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas, bud.

Can I, uh... can I talk to you alone for a minute?

Sure.

I have loved every moment that we have spent together.

Oh.

But this holiday has really got me thinking.

Relationships are more than just a collection of moments.

It's about the glue that holds those moments together

and that glue is a deep, committed love.

I see.

I know I'm your guy right now but I think that we both know

that I'm not your forever guy.

[scoffs]

But the good news is that I have made a friend

who apparently is.

It is so obvious to me that you two are the real deal.

I don't know how you did it.

But you made me feel like getting dumped

is the best thing to happen to both of us.

I'm gonna go pack my things. Okay?

Especially after you ignored my order

about marrying my daughter.

No offense, sir, but, uh...

I don't listen to orders from you.

That's the key with Dad,

only listen to about half of what he says.

Yeah, I personally hover in the 40 percent range.

Well, I hope that you will at least listen to this.

This is not a day to be alone. So please, come inside.

As many of you know, I'm Sheriff's Deputy Jacobs.

It has come to our attention that a Christmas tree

was cut down in protected forest land

and the culprits were seen turning into this cul-de-sac.

It was me.

Seriously?

You're confessing to the crime?

100 percent.

Thank you, everyone. Happy everything!

But, um... I think we can create a new one together.

Hear me out. Hear me out.

I... I've never been more happy in my life

than I've been over the past few days.

And unlike my 15-year-old self,

I'm not afraid to say that I like you.

So much.

I like you! Like... a lot.

So... So, I gotta know. What are my chances?

Uh, Lucy!

Hey. So, I wasn't expecting there'd be a wedding.

That means occurring as a result of a sudden impulse.

You know, without premeditation.

I know what spontaneous means.

So, Sylvie says you got something you wanna ask me.

Did she?

[clears throat]

[sing-song] Spontaneous.

Yes.

Um... I was thinking since our first date

was an unmitigated disaster,

I would regret not asking you for a second.

And I would regret not saying yes.

And my work here is done.

I should be in handcuffs. Right?

Why?

Well I did something very, very bad.

Which was...

could you remind me what I did again?

Interfered with a police investigation.

Hmm. So a pretty intense interrogation is coming my way?

Maybe?

[Wally] Okay, everybody. Let's get started.

As you know, we picture and plan for it every year.

The perfect holiday.

Gathering around a beautiful table with the ones we love.

We hurry through train stations, fly through the skies.

Get our house ready for guests, pull out all our decorations

and prepare to celebrate the same family traditions.

But sometimes it's not perfect.

It doesn't go as planned.

But when it doesn't go as planned

we end up with moments like today.

Celebrating the love of Ted and Marcus.

In a home they've never stepped foot in.

Surrounded by neighbors and new friends.

That's the magic of the holidays.
