Original subtitles

Oh.

I'll tell you, Audrey,

I love beachcombing year round,

but it never fails that at this time of year,

I find the most treasured gifts.

Look.

This, my dear, is a Saint Nicholas medal.

That's pretty.

How magical is it that I found this

a few days before Christmas?

Saint Nicholas in Dutch is Sint Nicolaas,

which, if you say that quickly, it becomes Sinterklaas.

Santa Claus.

That's a perfect item for sale right now.

Oh, I won't be selling this in the shop.

I'll be giving it to Finn O'Sullivan.

Who's he?

Do you see his name there?

I just have to find him.

Now, what have you got there?

Merry Christmas.

Oh.

It's just a sketch, Grandma.

No,

it's the loveliest Christmas gift I've ever received.

Hey, Audrey, slow down.

Audrey, slow down.

OK, Mom.

Merry Christmas.

Hey, what are you two doing?

Hey, honey.

Just looking for a frame for my Christmas gift.

Audrey, it's lovely.

Will this work?

Perfect.

Audrey, the secret spot.

Remind me the name on the medal.

Finn O'Sullivan.

That ring a bell for you?

Mm, he might be related to John O'Sullivan.

John sings in the choir with me.

Is he single?

- Mom. - What?

Can't I wish my daughter to have a man in her life?

Well, you can wish all you want,

but I've got my hands full being a single mom

and running this business with you.

And as far as your pendant, we're singing Christmas Eve.

I could ask John then if he knows this Finn.

Oh, could you call John before that?

I'd really like to get him his Saint Nicholas medal back.

I think it would be quite in the spirit of Christmas

to find that something you thought was lost

is, in fact, found.

What do you think, kiddo?

Sounds pretty wise, Grandma.

Comes with age.

Oh.

Ah.

She's gonna be a famous artist someday,

mark my words.

♪ On the fifth day of Christmas ♪

♪ My true love sent to me five... ♪

Hi, Mom.

Hey.

I didn't catch you painting, did I?

No.

What's up?

Well, the lawyer and I finally

went through Grandma's will, and as expected,

she left the shop to both of us.

Right.

You gonna start looking for a buyer?

If that's what you still want.

Mom, I don't want you to sell the shop.

Mm, that's not what I meant.

I love the shop.

I know you do.

Mom, are you trying to get me to move back

and run the shop with you?

Sweetie, I was just sensing some...

I don't know, mixed emotions.

Of course there are mixed emotions.

I want to clone myself and have my clone come back

to Springside and help you run the shop.

I just...

I miss her.

Me too, honey.

She did leave you a few gifts as well,

with specific instructions in the will

that they're to be given before Christmas.

Grandma and her specific instructions.

Well, I guess I'll be seeing you soon then.

You will.

Good night, sweetheart.

Bye, Mom.

- Sweetheart. - Oh.

Oh, it's good to be back, Mom.

- Oh. - Oh, wow.

Now it just needs more Christmas decorations.

Really reminds me of Grandma.

It always was all her, wasn't it?

- It really was. - Audrey?

Hey, Charlie.

Merry Christmas.

Oh, Merry Christmas.

How's the big city treating you, kid?

You know, it's still big.

How's it going?

Oh, this is my favorite time of the year, so...

And business is good.

Yeah, it is,

but that's not why I love this season.

I'm still the resident Santa up at the community center.

Oh, of course you are.

I love that.

Well, take care, ladies.

I have to go open the shop.

Of course.

Merry Christmas.

Take care, Charlie.

Merry Christmas, Diana.

And to you, Charles.

Is that New York City's

celebrated artist Audrey Miller?

Hi, Miss Drake.

Mwah, mwah.

Diana, please.

Hello, Kay.

Merry Christmas, Diana.

How's the antiques business over on First Avenue?

Oh, I can hardly keep anything in the shop

for more than a week.

How is it over here?

Oh, we're managing.

Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

Yeah.

Hmm.

Audrey, are you able to join us

for the Christmas Giving Gala?

We're raising money for the Springside food pantry

this year.

I wouldn't miss it.

Oh, wonderful.

You know, I pinch myself when I think that Audrey Miller

used to enter her artwork into our Giving Gala

charity art contest.

That's so interesting.

I never won.

I mean, not that it's about winning.

You know, I just...

it would have been nice for my favorite charity

to get the winning prize donation.

You know.

At any rate, you must be delighted

to have this treasure back, Kay.

Maybe she can help you a little around the shop.

- Oh, of course. - You know, actually,

I was just telling her how beautiful it is.

Oh, especially that.

So cute.

Another year with that honor, Kay.

Though I can't help but wonder how many more years

you'll receive it

now that Molly is no longer with us.

Diane hasn't changed.

No, she's still a shortsighted snob

who cares more about silly awards than your grandmother

or I ever did. - I see that.

And I know that her sales are down again this year.

Really?

She'll probably throw a party when she finds out

we're selling the place.

Excuse me. Hands off.

- Missy. - I got it.

- No, it's mine. - My treat.

Oh.

Wow.

People loved her

and were grateful for all she gave them.

Speaking of giving,

she wanted you to have it,

and she left you the desk.

Seriously?

I know.

It'll probably cost more to ship

than the desk is even worth.

Mom, this desk is priceless.

You haven't been using it.

I was.

But it's yours now.

And in the will, she asked you to look in the secret spot.

You haven't looked?

She didn't ask me.

"Dear Audrey,

"the day my oncologist told me

"that the cancer reached stage IV,

"I went out on a treasure hunt.

"I hit the beach, Thompson's Park,

"and the woods by Mayor's Park.

"I left no stone unturned.

"And look what I found.

"Five gold rings,

"like in my favorite Christmas tune.

"So, my true love,

"I give you the five gold rings

"in hopes that you will do what you know I would do.

"Find the people who lost these five gold rings.

"You get to be the lady Sinterklaas this Christmas.

"I'd love to see you find the owners before Christmas Day,

"as I would do.

"Save the best for last.

"And I suggest you enlist the aid

"of our old Saint Nicholas medal recipient,

Finn O'Sullivan."

It was Finn's medal that started her

returning items to people at Christmas, wasn't it?

Yeah.

"I know how hard the holidays can be

"when someone you love is gone,

"and my body may be gone,

"but my spirit's here.

"And this quest I bequeath

"to you.

Love, Grandma."

Audrey, you don't have to spend your vacation

on a wild goose chase.

This was Grandma's tradition.

Find lost items and do everything you can

to find their owners by Christmas.

It's...

it's an incredible gift she's given me.

I would be more than happy to accept this quest.

I wonder if Finn will feel the same way.

Thanks for everything, Finn.

I know you said no charge.

No worries, Candice.

You must let us pay you something for all your work.

It was my pleasure, Josh. This one's on me.

Any time you need me, I'm here.

- Oh. - All right.

Now get out of here.

Hey, have a nice day.

You're still working pro bono for those in need, I see.

Wow.

Audrey Miller.

Finn O'Sullivan.

When'd you get back from...

where is it that you live again?

- Manhattan. - Ah, that's the one.

I just got here this morning, so you can't get mad at me

for not calling you this time.

Except you didn't call.

You just showed up here.

Mm-hmm.

How'd you get my office address?

Your Uncle John.

My mom talked to him.

Sounds about right.

He's always looking for a reason to talk to Kay.

He's crazy about her.

That's interesting.

He always seems to have a girlfriend.

And he says she's married to her work.

That's accurate.

Although she is retiring after the holidays.

You're kidding. What about the shop?

Putting on the market.

And Molly was cool with this?

Oh, I mean, all my grandma ever wanted

was for anyone to be happy,

so my mom will be happy not running the shop by herself.

And you can't help her run it

because you're busy working in...

Manhattan.

That's the one.

Yeah, speaking of work,

I actually might have a job for you, if you're not too busy.

Just wanted to discuss it with you.

OK.

First, I'm gonna need one of those.

Can I buy you a refill and we have a catch up?

Sure can.

After you.

Every time I come back here and visit,

it just reminds me of why I love it so much.

Speaking of reminders,

remind me why we never went out?

That's direct.

Uh, probably has something to do with the fact

that we went to different high schools and colleges.

You know, whenever I would see you, you had a girlfriend

Yeah, my mom says I fear commitment.

Well...

Having a girlfriend and being good at commitment

is not the same thing, my friend.

- Whoa. - What?

That is verbatim what my last girlfriend said to me

when we broke up.

There you go.

So you don't have a girlfriend right now?

I do not.

What happened?

- Long story. - Mm.

What about you?

Do you have a boyfriend?

I did.

Yeah, we were together a couple years,

but things were starting to go south

before my grandma even got sick, so.

We just used to argue about whether or not I loved my art

more than I love him. - Ouch.

Yeah.

- Well, did you? - Mm.

Ouch again.

So about this job. - Mm.

If you're too busy, it's...

Audrey, do you remember when we first met?

You and Molly came to my basketball game

and returned my missing Saint Nicholas medal.

Mm.

Yeah, I remember.

I also remember that you nailed a three-point shot

right after we gave you that medal back.

Sure did.

Oh, do you still have it?

No.

I haven't taken it off since.

My good luck charm.

So I guess I wasn't the only one who Molly tracked down

to returned something lost.

No, it was her thing.

So you have no other information

about these items?

Nope.

You know, Christmas is... - Nine days away. I know.

It's gonna be a lot of work, and if you are too busy...

I'm taking your job, Audrey.

- Wait, seriously? - Of course.

I can't say no to this.

Thank you, Finn.

Thank me once I've figured out who these belong to.

OK.

Oh, and I'm obviously gonna pay you.

No, you...

Finn, you deserve to be...

Let's talk about this later.

First things first, these need to be polished.

Mm.

Oh, I'm way ahead of you.

I'm impressed.

So this one has fire damage, so polish won't work.

I'm gonna get my mom to help with that one.

So what exactly did Molly mean

when she said "save the best for last"?

Well, she would, uh, dig up some treasures,

and she would save the most special one to return last.

So which one is the most special?

You tell me.

I'm gonna say the one with the stones.

The ruby and emeralds?

You know, the Christmas colors.

That's what I was thinking.

Hang on.

Wait, y-you're a private detective,

and you actually have a magnifying glass?

No.

I have two.

Oh.

Well, thank you, Sherlock.

You're welcome, Watson.

Is that Russian?

So first, we have to access the Cyrillic keyboard

that will let me translate it into the English alphabet.

It's kind of like breaking a code.

Here's a backwards N.

There's a T. - Mm.

Elizabet?

Elizabet luchshayaKlara.

Maybe Klara gave something to Elizabet.

Elizabeth, the finest Clara to dance the role.

"The Nutcracker."

Now you need to translate.

The ballet, "The Nutcracker."

Have you never seen it?

Do I strike you as a ballet guy?

It's a Christmas fairy tale about a young girl

who does battle with a mouse king.

A mouse king?

Yeah.

And Clara is the girl?

Well, sometimes she's called Marie.

It just depends on the adaptation they use.

But the one they use here every Christmas at the Swan Theater,

she's Clara.

Oh, and the music, the ballet,

it's Tchaikovsky.

Who was Russian.

Yes.

And it looks like Clara is being played by Ariel Bennett.

I mean, the Swan has done "The Nutcracker"

every year for decades.

Are there past casts on there?

Doesn't look like it.

They must have old programs at the theater,

and they're closed on Mondays.

I've also got to write up a report for another client,

but how about this?

I'll give you a call tomorrow after I talk

to someone from the theater.

Yeah, sounds good.

Great.

I love everything we have in here,

but the lamps are far and away my favorite.

Yeah.

Will you excuse me for a second?

Go ahead.

- Hello there. - Hey.

So I managed to track down the theater manager,

but no one's gonna be there until 5:00.

OK.

You want to pick me up or should I meet you there?

Oh.

You're... you're coming?

Is that OK?

Yeah. Yeah, that's OK.

Great.

I'll be at the shop.

I'll be there.

- Hi. - Good evening.

How can I help you? - Hi.

I spoke to a Lexi on the phone.

My name's Finn O'Sullivan. - Oh, right.

Hi. I'm Lexi.

Nice to finally meet you.

Um, Lexi, I'm a private investigator.

Oh, my goodness. Is someone in trouble?

No. No, no, no.

This is my associate, Audrey Miller.

Basically, a client has hired us to find something.

Someone. - Well, someone

that might have been playing one of your Claras.

One of the girls is missing?

- No, not... - No, not missing

in the sense of a missing person.

No, no.

We have a valuable item that belongs to this person,

and we would like to return it.

Which Clara?

We only have the first name, Elizabeth.

Elizabeth?

I've worked at the Swan for five years,

and none of our Claras were played by an Elizabeth.

Are you sure she was at our theater?

Yeah.

This might have been years ago.

Do you...

Have past programs we can review?

Of course.

It's probably somewhere in storage.

But if you'll follow me, I'll show you.

I'm your associate, huh?

The programs are...

In one or some of these boxes.

I'm sorry.

We've been meaning to organize this,

but, you know, there's always another show to mount, so...

- All good, Lexi. - OK.

Lexi, you're needed backstage.

If you'll excuse me, I'm needed elsewhere.

Are you all good with me leaving you here?

Yeah, no worries.

OK.

I hope you find your Elizabeth.

We'll just...

Start digging.

Very heavy.

How...

do you not lose your mind doing this job?

Oh, no, I've lost my mind before.

OK.

Then I hire another PI to help me find it.

So we have three different Elizabeths

who played the role of Clara. - That we do.

We don't even know if any of these Elizabeths

was the finest Clara to dance the role.

Or if they still live in Springside.

So I do have some good software

that can do identity record searches

on these three Elizabeths.

And you are tired, miss.

No. No, no, no, no. I'm good.

Let's keep going. - Audrey,

my dad taught me that the two most important things

for a private investigator

are a good night's sleep and a full stomach.

Are you asking me to dinner?

Hang on.

Yeah, Mom?

Ugh. Again?

Yeah, I'm on a job.

Audrey Miller.

Yeah, she is.

I'll be there.

Sorry about that.

She was trimming the tree and the lights stopped working.

It happens every year.

But she is offering to feed us Christmas lasagna.

What's Christmas lasagna?

You know, lasagna with spinach, Christmas colors.

That is so ridiculously cute.

- Is it? - Yeah.

We don't have to stay long.

No, no, no.

I love a homemade meal.

I want to see your mom.

Come on.

Hi, Mom.

Oh, thank goodness you're here.

Hey, Merry Christmas, Audrey.

Merry Christmas, Colleen.

Oh, sweetheart, I'm sorry.

I know this happens every year.

It's almost like tradition.

Yeah, but I'm afraid this looks done for.

We're gonna have to get a whole new set of lights.

You say that every year.

OK.

Well, are you ready for some Christmas lasagna?

Oh, am I ever.

So, Audrey, how's your work going?

I'm a huge fan.

Of my... my art?

Yes. John, my brother-in-law...

Audrey knows Uncle John, Mom.

He has a crush on my mom,

but thinks she's married to her work.

And then she said that he always has a girlfriend or...

He hasn't dated anyone in over a year.

But anyways, John told me about your art,

and I started following you on social media, and wow.

You're amazing.

Thank you.

What she's not telling you is that you've inspired her

to become an artist.

- No, seriously? - No, no, no.

Finn, I'm a social worker who paints.

This young lady is an artiste.

Well, this social worker has entered her painting

in a competition for some Christmas charity gala thing.

The Christmas Giving Gala?

Oh, I... no, I don't think I'm gonna enter.

Mom.

Can I see it?

Uh, well, you know what?

How about after we trim the tree?

I am gonna hold you to that.

This is beautiful.

Yeah.

It's my dad.

How old were you when he passed?

20.

Just started junior year of college,

which, obviously, I didn't finish.

Right, because you took over his detective agency.

Yeah, it's what my dad would have wanted.

What did you want to do?

Oh, I wanted to take over the agency,

just not under those circumstances.

I'm not great at the business side of things.

Almost managed to run the agency into the ground,

but...

anyway.

Should I call her in?

Mm.

Hey, Mom, we're in the clear.

It is really exquisite, Colleen.

Well, thank you,

but I don't think the lead judge would agree,

Diana Trank. Do you know her?

Yeah.

Trust me, if Diana Trank is not a fan,

you should consider that a compliment.

That was so lovely.

Sorry I got distracted from the quest.

No, we'll get back at it tomorrow.

It was really nice to see your mom.

You know, when I was in college,

she used to say to me that I was wasting my time with

whoever I was with, and instead...

Oh, you should have been wasting your time with me?

Mm-hmm.

I should get home.

I can drive you.

No, it's just a couple blocks.

I'd like to walk.

See you in the morning.

See you in the morning.

- You guys have a good day. - Yeah.

Merry Christmas.

Mom, are you OK?

I'm so grateful to you for being here.

Where else would I be?

Well, off on Grandma's quest, I suppose.

Right.

Well, I will get back to that soon.

Finn's just working on some leads, so.

How is Finn?

He's pretty good at his job.

That's not what I was asking.

Oh, hi, Mrs. Miller.

Good afternoon, Finn.

Please call me Kay.

So were your ears burning?

Excuse me?

Um, I assume you're here for Audrey.

Yeah, I am.

Thanks, Kay.

Find our Elizabeths?

Took a while with marriages and name changes,

but, yeah, I found them.

I even spoke to one of them.

- Without me? - Relax.

She lives in Chicago, and the pendant isn't hers.

But the other two Elizabeths are closer by.

I couldn't find numbers for them, but I did find addresses.

One of them is right here in Springside.

Elizabeth Burton is now Elizabeth Douglas.

And the other, Elizabeth Trentham.

Elizabeth King, but she lives in Saint Paul.

So we should try Elizabeth Douglas.

Sounds like a plan.

Right.

Hi.

Hi. Elizabeth Douglas?

Betty.

Nobody calls me Elizabeth.

Oh, they did when you danced the role of Clara.

Oh, my goodness.

I haven't seen that in years.

What about this?

What is that?

It's not yours?

Sorry. Who are you?

I'm Audrey Miller, and this is...

Finn O'Sullivan.

I'm a private investigator.

Miss Miller hired me to track down

who this pendant belonged to.

We believe it was someone named Elizabeth

who danced the role of Clara.

Well, I did dance Clara, and my given name is Elizabeth,

but I've never owned that pendant.

I'm sorry.

You wouldn't happen to know an Elizabeth Trentham?

Yes.

She was a few years younger than me.

I haven't seen her in probably 20 years.

Is she still in the area?

Saint Paul.

Ah, well, good luck.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

Should we head to Saint Paul?

I think we should.

Oh, I used to go crazy with my snowmen.

Crazy how?

Oh, I'd make, like, 10, 12 of them.

The whole yard would be full of them.

Each one would have a different look.

Different look how?

Three balls of snow.

Finn, please don't tell me you've never built a snowman.

OK, I won't tell you that.

Have you really never built a snowman?

That is correct.

Oh, this is a travesty.

That's against Minnesota state law.

Pretty sure it's not.

Well, it should be.

I don't think she's home.

Yeah, I don't think she's home either.

What do we do?

We wait.

Yeah, detective work can be tedious.

Great.

We can at least make waiting a little more fun.

Hmm?

Hello.

Hi.

I have a question for you.

So my friend has never built a snowman.

I know.

Would you mind if we help you?

Um, yeah, sure.

Come on. Yeah.

There, and with those.

Looks like you broke through that artist's block, Audrey.

You guys new to the neighborhood?

Oh, we're from Springside.

It's just west of here.

Yeah, we came to see your neighbor, Elizabeth.

You family?

Uh, no.

Finn's a private investigator. I'm his client.

You know, we actually have this really beautiful

piece of jewelry that we...

we think might be Elizabeth's.

Do you know when she might be back?

It'll be late.

She's caroling with her choir tonight.

Do you know where?

Yeah, at the Cathedral Atrium in the city center.

- Thank you so much. - Sure.

Hey, good luck. Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

♪ Born to raise the sons of Earth ♪

♪ Born to give them second birth ♪

♪ Hark, the herald angels sing ♪

♪ Glory to the newborn king ♪

It's her.

Thank you.

Thank you so much for coming.

Thank you.

Miss King?

Yes?

Do you recognize this?

How did you...

My grandmother found it in Springside.

How did you know it belonged to me?

- Finn is a... - Private investigator.

And Audrey is...

His associate.

My grandmother found it and wanted us

to find the person who lost it,

so we translated the inscription

and tracked you down.

It was a gift from a hero of mine,

Natasha Lychnikov.

The Russian ballerina.

She came to Springside the year that I was dancing Clara,

and she was so complimentary of my dancing.

And a few months later, I received this.

I lost this five years ago.

I don't know how I can possibly compensate you for this.

No, mm-mm.

You already have.

Thank you so much.

Thank you.

I'm just realizing, if she wanted to pay you a reward,

I shouldn't have said no.

You did the right thing.

Isn't that what Christmas is about?

Being of service?

Well, from what I remember, you were the guy

that used to roll his eyes at Christmas giving.

Well, people change.

Grow up, I guess.

And I've enjoyed spending the last few days with you.

Well, you are stuck with me for four more rings.

And we have less than a week to find their owners.

Works for me.

Hello.

Late night at the shop?

No.

I was walking through the park and there was a string quartet

and mulled cider being given out

by the fire company.

Mm.

Was John there?

- He was. - Oh.

I see.

Nothing to see.

Apparently he doesn't have a girlfriend.

Hasn't had one for a while.

Is that right?

Finn says he never asks you out

because he thinks you're married to your work,

but I told Finn that you're selling the shop.

Audrey.

And I told him to tell John.

And as I told your grandmother more than once,

I am fully capable of managing my own love life.

Mm.

If you say so.

I do.

So how goes the quest?

Well, we found the one with the pendant ring.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

Any luck with the fire damaged bracelet?

Yes.

I soaked it in white wine vinegar.

Took a while, but it came out shiny and new,

and it's locked in our safe.

Thank you, Mom.

I'll grab it tomorrow.

Hey, can I make you something to eat?

No, no.

Finn and I grabbed some food in the North Loop.

You've been to the Twin Cities and back,

and you're still awake?

It's not that far.

No, I just feel like drawing.

I like it.

The quest is inspiring you.

I'm just fooling around.

Audrey.

That was lovely.

I don't know about that.

OK, then.

I have a confession to make.

Mm?

I canceled my part in the spring gallery show.

I took a job in retail.

Well, honey,

it's nothing to be embarrassed about.

Nor, for that matter, is working retail,

which you may recall I've done my entire adult life.

But, that said,

I'm certainly glad you've started drawing again.

And even if you don't think this is worth saving,

I hope you don't mind if I keep it.

"Baylock Co."

Hmm.

Audrey?

There is a key inside the key ring fob.

What?

I noticed a seam along the edge,

and so I just started playing with it

and it popped open and a key fell out.

What kind of key?

Well, it's one of those skeleton kinds.

It's... it's old.

Thanks to you and the magnifying glass you got me,

I also noticed there's an inscription.

Oh, do you have a pen?

- Yeah. - It's "Chairman F.K. SMM."

But the key also has something on it too.

It's called Baylock Co.

Maybe it's a specific kind of lock.

Nicely done, Watson.

Thank you, Sherlock.

I'll look into Baylock and Company

and what the inscription means.

And I'll see you at 9:00 tomorrow morning.

Sleep tight, Audrey.

Sleep tight, Finn.

I guess I should hang up the phone now.

OK.

Audrey?

Finn? What is it?

I got it.

It hit me in the middle of the night.

SMM is Springside Municipal Museum.

- That's great. - And there's more.

I searched their website for board of directors,

past and present. - Any FKs?

Frank Kennedy.

But he passed away a year ago.

Wait.

Look at this.

Obituary of Frank Kennedy.

He's survived by his son, Frank Jr.

So we find Frank Jr. - Already did.

He took his dad's seat on the board.

Chop, chop, huh?

Hi. - Sorry, we don't open

for another hour. - Sorry to barge in.

My name's Finn O'Sullivan.

This is Audrey Miller.

We're looking for Frank Kennedy Jr.

We have something of his father's to return to him.

Oh, of course.

Well, Frank Jr. is in a meeting with trustees.

I'm not sure how long he's gonna be,

but if you want to wait, feel free to grab a cup of coffee,

and I'll let you know when he's available.

Actually, you might be able to help us.

We have a key that we believe is for a lock of something

that Frank Sr. owned.

Maybe a cabinet, desk.

Is there anybody occupying his office now?

Yes, his son.

But Frank Sr. had very particular office furniture,

all antiques.

As a matter of fact, he had a very unique desk,

beautiful period piece,

and it has a few locks on the drawers.

Can you show us that?

We actually added it to the Pioneer exhibit per his will.

I can take you.

Thank you.

Here you go.

It's in this room right here.

You can take a look, and I will come back

and get you once Frank is finished.

Thanks, Jill.

Good luck.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Uh-huh.

- Mm. - Mm-mm.

Nope.

It's a manuscript.

By Frank Kennedy.

You did it again, Audrey.

Did you read any of this?

We might have taken a peek while we were waiting.

Where did your grandmother find this?

In Springside.

That's where my dad was living when he passed.

My grandmother too.

The novel, it just seems like it's really good writing.

Well, the museum was my dad's life.

Mine too, obviously, but

his dream was to write a novel, and...

I had no idea that he actually did.

How can I pay you for this?

No need.

But when you get that thing published,

you can thank us in the acknowledgments.

You got a deal.

Thank you.

Three rings to go.

Well, and Christmas is getting closer every minute,

but I think I have an idea that might speed up our search.

So Frank's got this novel that his dad wrote

that he didn't even know existed.

What an extraordinary and moving story.

I know.

I just wish I could share it with more people.

Can we post about it on the shop's social media page?

Of course.

And maybe the photos of the rest of the rings

and just ask if he recognizes them?

I assume this is your idea?

This idea was completely your daughter's.

Mm?

What do you say, Mom?

Well, I don't see why not.

You'll want the bracelet.

Ta-da.

Wow.

Thank you, Mom.

You know, I had a christening bracelet like this growing up.

Now the inscription is clear.

Siobhan. - Yeah.

You see that?

That's a shield with three shells.

I'm pretty sure it's a saint symbol.

Forget which one.

Saint James.

Smart woman.

I looked it up.

There's a Saint James Church in Springside

that burned to the ground 38 years ago.

It's on the edge of Mayor's Park.

That's one of the places Grandma searched for the rings.

And you know who would be able to tell us

about that fire?

Oh.

- Uncle John. - Mm.

Want to join us tomorrow, Mom?

Kay

and Audrey.

I'm here too, Uncle John.

Yeah, saw you.

Uh, could you give me a minute?

Feel free to join in while you wait.

Ever built a gingerbread house?

Have you met my mother?

Hey, now.

Want to build some more?

Is that a challenge?

What?

She's a professional artist.

Hey, sorry, guys.

Uh, what brings you here today?

Sure, I remember the Saint James Church fire.

It was my first month on the job.

Beautiful church.

19th century building.

All wood.

Tinderbox.

Went up like that.

Was there anything salvaged from it?

I think the only thing we managed to recover

were the collection plates and the cross.

Metal.

Right.

Now, something like that could have been in the fire.

Just too small to find.

So no records were found, no books?

No.

I do remember the name of the priest, though,

if that helps. - It does.

The only guy I ever met named Lodowick.

Father Lodowick. - Lodowick?

Lodowick.

Thanks, Uncle John.

No worries.

Now, will I be seeing you ladies

at Springside by Candlelight this evening?

Planning on it.

Great.

It's always a wonderful night.

Excuse me.

I got to get back.

Excuse me.

Do you know how Springside by Candlelight got started?

To draw tourists to town?

That's a good guess, but no, mm-mm.

There was this big storm, and it was like 1949

on Christmas Eve,

and the whole town lost power.

And so the highway superintendent

gets this inspiration, to load his car with hundreds

of candles, and he delivered them to the whole neighborhood

so that they could have light in their homes and businesses.

So the townspeople gather with their lit candles,

walk to the superintendent's house,

and they sing "We Wish You a Merry Christmas"

as a thank you.

And so now people today walk with their candles on this date

and they wish people Merry Christmas.

Hmm.

And how do you know this story?

The highway superintendent's my great grandfather.

Of course he was.

So I guess being creative and thoughtful

goes back in your family many generations.

I guess so.

Yeah.

Hey, I found our man.

Father Lodowick Carlyle.

Catholic priest.

Looks like he retired in 2005,

but he's residing at the O'Byrne Residence

for Retired Clergy in Saint Cloud.

Well, that's over an hour away.

We could just call him.

My experience with a guy this age, in person would be better.

What a wonderful story.

I-I can't tell you how gratifying it is

for an old man like me

to meet two young people

who so embody the essence of Christmas.

It is, after all, a celebration of our capacity to give,

and to give with love.

Your grandmother seems to have embraced

that spirit year round.

Yes, she did.

Father, um, the Saint James fire...

Oh, yes, yes, of course.

That was a dark day.

But faith sees best in the dark.

The bracelet has the symbol of Saint James on it.

Is there any chance it was in the fire?

As a matter of fact, it was.

But not because of our church, but because little Siobhan

was named after her grandmother,

whose patron saint was James.

Wait, you remember this Siobhan?

I'd like to tell you I remember

the name of every baptism, wedding,

and funeral I ever conducted,

but that would make me a liar.

Still, I... I could never forget name

of the family that was at my church

the day it burned to the ground.

It wasn't until after we fled the fire

that we realized that the bracelet was lost.

Do you remember their last name?

Flaherty.

But... but her married name, Siobhan's married name,

i-is Thomas.

I performed the wedding.

I still get Christmas cards from them every year.

You wouldn't happen to have one of those cards, would you?

We'd love to find the return address.

Hi.

That is a dog in a reindeer costume.

Hi. Is Siobhan Thomas home?

They went skiing.

I'm the dog sitter.

This is Rudolph.

Is your nose gonna light up?

We have something we think might belong to Siobhan Thomas.

Do you know when she might be back?

Some time before Christmas.

Oh.

Well, I'm gonna give you my card.

Do you mind passing that along?

Yeah.

Private investigator?

Cool.

Thanks for passing on the message.

No problem.

He reminded me of my ex.

Rudolph?

No, the dog sitter.

Speaking of exes,

you never told me about yours.

Finn.

What?

No, that's his name.

Finn.

Seriously?

No, I'm lying.

No, I called him Finn 2.

To his face?

No, to my mom's.

Wait, so I'm Finn 1?

It's chronological.

- Mm-hmm. - Mm.

- Hmm. - So what's next?

Well, I promised I'd help Uncle John set up

for Springside by Candlelight, and I think you said

you were helping your mom at the shop.

No, I am.

It's just, we are losing precious time.

Or we're spending precious time with people that we love.

I don't remember you being so wise.

Comes with age.

- My grandma used to... - Used to say that.

She said it to me too.

Finn, what if Siobhan doesn't come back by Christmas?

Don't think about that right now.

You just got to have faith.

Our family's been collecting them for years,

so this is probably the only one we have

right now in the cherrywood.

Nice detail.

It's probably one of my favorite items in the store.

But we also have a few others down that are not...

I will be right back. - OK.

Think about this one, though.

It's my personal favorite. - Sure.

Lady Sinterklaas, I presume?

Merry Christmas, sir.

Anything I can help you find?

The owner of three gold rings would be nice.

Mm. So what brings you here?

New lead?

No.

And you forgot.

Springside by Candlelight.

Oh, my gosh.

That's tonight. How did I forget?

Yeah, well, you were in your element.

Any chance I could steal you for a quick stroll?

Well, fortunately, I have a pretty

solid relationship with boss. - Oh, really?

Mm-hmm. I think I could swing it.

Hmm.

Shall we?

If they don't do this in Manhattan, what do they do?

Oh, well, they light up the whole Empire State Building

green, red, and white.

Christmas colors like Christmas lasagna.

Exactly like Christmas lasagna.

Well, if you ask me, a colorful skyscraper

sounds nice, but it doesn't hold a candle

to Springside by Candlelight.

- Pun intended. - Totally.

Oh.

So I'm kind of getting back to my art.

Well, Finn 1 has always been a fan of your art.

Finn 2 liked my art.

He just didn't like that I liked it more than him.

Hey, speaking of exes, you never answered

my question the other day.

What question?

Why did you break up with your last girlfriend?

You just said it was a long story.

Actually, it's not really that long of a story.

Four months ago, I just felt like

it was time for us to break up.

My grandmother's funeral was four months ago.

Yeah.

Yeah, it was.

Finn, did you...

- Oh! - Oh!

I slipped on the ice.

Uh, Audrey.

So your mom was looking for you.

She's up to her eyeballs in customers.

What are you two doing exactly?

We slipped. I-I slipped.

Bad choice. Yeah.

- Sure. - Mm-hmm.

I better run.

Yeah, you better.

Um, uh...

Did you lose something?

No.

I might have found something.

What are you working on now?

I don't know, just...

just a sketch.

Well, at least you're not throwing it away.

Thank you again for your help in the shop last night, Audrey.

I would have been lost without you.

No worries.

Finn said I was in my element selling antiques.

Ah, well, Finn hasn't seen you

at one of your gallery shows.

That's your element.

Maybe I have more than one element.

Well, of course you're good at retail, Audrey.

You grew up in it.

Yeah, but I think Finn noticed,

I'm not just good at it.

It's...

I have fun doing it.

Well, your grandmother always said you were a gifted curator.

I'm sure they appreciate you at your retail job in New York.

Well, they've actually offered me

the assistant manager spot.

Of course they have.

But now that you're drawing again,

I expect that you'll get your career back on track

and you'll be able to leave the retail world behind once again.

Hello?

Oh, hello, Diana.

Yes, yes.

We're both very excited about the gala tonight.

I thought you weren't on social media.

Well, yes, I'm sure she'll want to talk to you.

I'll send her right down.

Well,

Diana Trank has told me more than once with great pride

how she has no time for social media nonsense,

but clearly she's not only on it,

but follows the shop's account.

Why would she admit that to you?

Because she thinks she might have sold the brooch

in the photo that we posted.

The ring-shaped one that Grandma found.

I have to call Finn.

This is such a gorgeous piece.

I'm sure your son and his wife will love it.

Thank you for shopping at Emporium of Treasures.

Merry Christmas.

Bye, bye.

Audrey, welcome.

Diana.

Oh, this is Finn O'Sullivan.

Hi.

O'Sullivan.

Now, why do I know that name?

My mom is Colleen O'Sullivan.

She actually entered a piece for your charity.

Yes, of course.

Oh, how I wish you had entered a piece, Audrey.

Thank you, Diana.

Perhaps for the charity of it all.

But you need to take a good look

at Colleen O'Sullivan's piece.

It's stunning.

Really?

Well, I'll keep that in mind.

So, Diana, my mom had said that...

Right.

I think I may have sold your mystery brooch.

I wasn't going to say anything at first,

because the piece I sold had two interlocking rings,

whereas yours...

do you have the piece?

Mm-hmm.

Ah.

Just the one ring.

But I think I sold the piece you're looking for.

I've been going through my old records

from my pre-computer days,

and I think I found it.

Let's see.

Ah.

Interlocking rings brooch sold December 3rd, 2004,

to Edgar Diaz.

No phone number, though, I'm afraid.

Thank you, Diana.

That's very helpful.

- Thank you. - Happy to help.

Diana's a piece of work, huh?

No arguments here.

How I wished you'd entered a piece, Audrey.

Did you know that I entered the Christmas Giving Gala

three times when I lived here,

and Diana had already become a lead judge by then?

Guess how many times I won.

I'm gonna guess none.

Ding, ding, ding.

We have a winner.

Well, she clearly respects you now.

Well, having gallery shows in Manhattan

can do that for snobs like her.

Hence the reason she's kissing up to us.

Yeah, I probably have to leave her hanging

for a little while.

It's kind of fun.

I like this plan.

OK, back to the important stuff.

Should we run a record search on Edgar Diaz?

No need.

I know Edgar.

Well, knew him.

He owned the garden center over on the East Side.

They hired me when they had a few break ins.

What do you mean knew him?

Edgar passed away last year.

But I'm pretty sure his son-in-law

took over the family business.

They have a pop-up Christmas tree lot over on Main Street.

I'm pretty sure we could ask him if the brooch

belonged to Edgar.

Great.

OK, let's go.

I think that's him.

Merry Christmas, guys.

Merry Christmas.

Can I help you guys?

Actually, I was wondering,

are you Edgar Diaz's son-in-law?

I am, yeah.

I'm Finn O'Sullivan.

I did some work for Edgar a couple years back.

Yeah, yeah. The private detective.

You caught the guy who was breaking

into the garden center.

I did, I did.

This is Audrey Miller.

Great to meet you, Audrey.

Joe Del Pietro.

Hey, Finn, pick whatever tree you two want...

Oh, I appreciate that, Joe, but...

No, we actually have an item that we think

might have belonged to your late father-in-law.

Oh, really? Something from the break-in?

No, no, it's something my grandmother found.

I don't believe it.

So you recognize it?

Where did you get this?

I think she found it in Thompson's Park.

That's right.

Two interlocking rings.

Edgar took them apart, gave one to Rosa

and told me he was gonna hide the other one in Thompson Park,

and that if I wanted to marry his daughter,

I'd need to find it.

So you got married without finding it?

Well, the day after Edgar hid the ring,

there was a huge snowstorm, four feet,

then ice a couple days later.

I tried for three weeks, sliding on ice,

digging through ice, looking for this ring.

Finally, Rosa just told me that we loved each other

and we'd prove it to her dad.

So we eloped.

And how did Edgar feel about that?

He was delighted.

Yeah, he cooked up the whole ring hunt

in hopes that we would elope.

Save him on paying for a big wedding.

The joke was on him, though.

Rosa's mom still made him throw us a reception.

It'll be our 20th anniversary on Christmas.

You eloped on Christmas Day?

Best gift my wife ever gave me.

All right,

let's spruce this place up.

I thought it was pretty sprucey.

How's it look?

Mm, it's untrimmed.

You have any ornaments?

No, actually.

Seriously?

Yeah, I've never had my own tree.

I always just go to my mom's.

Why did you take this?

Joe wanted to give me the tree so badly,

I couldn't say no. - Mm.

You have any art supplies?

Um...

I have office supplies.

Hmm.

That'll do.

There's plenty.

I can make art.

And effortlessly decorate trees

and gingerbread houses and snowmen,

all while focusing on this quest.

Oh, speaking of which.

Only two rings left to go.

There's no word from Siobhan.

Can I ask you a question

you're probably not gonna like?

Mm.

OK.

What happens if we don't finish the quest by Christmas?

It's not like we're gonna get hit by lightning

if we fail.

It's just...

I'll know that I let my grandmother down.

No, of course.

I'm sorry.

I just don't want to let you down.

Thank you, Finn.

Maybe we should just run by Siobhan's,

I mean, see if they're back from the ski trip.

Or we could move on to the ring with stones.

Uh-uh.

Save the best for last, remember?

Does that mean we can't at least take a look at the best?

I guess.

Hmm.

What?

Well, typically with rings,

the jeweler leaves a maker's mark.

A... a stamp,

sort of like a signature.

Proof that they made it.

I'm not seeing anything like that.

Exactly.

Oh, hold on.

Finn O'Sullivan.

Hi, Siobhan.

Yeah. Yeah, we did.

Um, we think we might have something

that belonged to you from a long time ago.

Yeah.

Yeah, well, we'll come by right now.

Now we're talking.

OK, let's go.

This was my grandmother's bracelet.

She'd gotten it at her christening in Cork,

Brought it over when she immigrated,

so it was devastating when we lost it in the fire.

So the fire chief led you to see Father Lodowick?

That's right.

And how is Father Lodowick?

Oh, he has got this little twinkle in his eyes.

I bet.

Ugh, I should go visit him.

But thank you both so much.

I can't believe all you went through to find me.

Oh, no, it was our pleasure.

Well, returning all the rings has been really special.

Wait, there are other rings?

Yeah, my grandmother found five gold rings.

Like in "The 12 Days of Christmas"?

Exactly, but she found all of them on one day.

Oh, can you please thank her for me?

She passed away a few months ago, but...

- I'm so sorry. - No, it's OK.

Thank you.

Yeah, the...

when my grandma Siobhan passed at Christmas that year,

it was... it was tough.

Yeah, I'm sure.

You know, I was expecting that to be for me, but, um,

you know, my grandmother just left me these rings

and then asked me to go on this quest and,

you know, find these rings owners.

How many have you found?

Well, you are number four.

Well, that's wonderful.

Only one to go.

Yeah, well, we're running out of time, but...

Mom?

Mom?

I just realized something.

What?

What connects the rings?

Other than being gold and round?

Yes.

Elizabeth's nutcracker pendant came from her adoring idol,

Frank's key was to his labor of love, his novel,

Joe and Rosa's brooch was to prove their love,

and Siobhan's christening bracelet was inherited

from her beloved grandmother.

The rings are connected by love.

True.

So what if love is the key to figuring out this ring?

Like, what if this ring was also given out of love?

Audrey, with all due respect, Molly was a wise woman,

but there's no way she could have known

the motivation of these rings.

No, I realize that.

I mean, most pieces of jewelry are given out of love.

But my point is, what if this was too?

What if this was an engagement ring?

Don't engagement rings have diamonds?

Not always.

Hmm.

I'm not sure how this helps us.

We could look up engagement listings

in the "Springside Tribune" online.

A lot of those brides-to-be will pose

with their ring featured.

That's actually a great idea, Watson.

Thank you, Sherlock.

I think I might have asked you this.

Is there anything you can't do?

Hang on.

Oh. Hey, Mom.

What's up?

Oh, that's why you're not home.

Yeah, no.

On my way.

What's up?

The Christmas Giving Gala.

Only just started.

Finn, do you know how long it takes for a girl

to get ready for a party?

Right, I'll just go keep our moms...

yeah. - Thank you.

Yeah. See you later.

Audrey.

I was just thinking.

About?

The final ring.

Oh.

What about it?

- Tomorrow's... - Christmas Eve.

I know.

People are gonna be doing their last-minute shopping

and driving to family.

As they do.

Are we crazy enough to think that not only are we going

to find the ring's owner,

but we're gonna return it to them on one of the most

hectic days of the year?

Yeah, that is pretty crazy.

But how is that any different

from everything else we've done together?

Ladies and gentlemen,

thank you all for coming to the 25th annual

Christmas Giving Gala.

I'm Diana Trank, gala chair,

and thank you all for your generous donations

to this year's grand prize award.

We had many wonderful entries in the art contest this year,

and just like every other year,

the winner will receive the grand prize amount

for the local charity of their choice.

The runners up will have their pieces auctioned off,

and those proceeds will go to the Springside Food Bank,

as they do every year.

Now, we also had one beautiful piece donated

by a well-known New York artist

and Springside's own Audrey Miller.

And that piece garnered a very generous bid

from the Waldore family,

so thank you, Audrey.

Now time for the grand prize.

On behalf of the museum,

we are delighted to announce this year's winner,

first time entrant Colleen O'Sullivan,

for her piece, "My Heart."

Oh, congratulations.

Mwah, mwah.

Thank you.

I didn't do anything.

Yeah, but you did.

You know you did.

Audrey, thank you.

It's just really wonderful.

I saw on the social media

that you reunited the brooch with its owner.

I sold that piece 20 years ago for $1,000.

It would have been worth at least 10 times that today.

Well, my grandmother didn't do what she did for the money.

And you're all right with this?

I've already been paid for my services, thanks.

$10,000?

I doubt that.

She's a piece of work.

She is.

I'm just realizing,

I have never asked what your rate is.

And I already told you, I don't need to be paid.

- Come on. - Audrey, stop.

We're going to do this.

What is your day rate? - Audrey, stop.

I can look it up on your website.

Audrey.

Audrey, I've been paid already.

But what are you talking about?

Molly paid me.

What?

How?

Five months ago when she was in the hospital.

So you knew about the rings the whole time?

Well, not about the rings.

Just that you were gonna ask me for help.

But why wouldn't you tell me?

I couldn't. I just...

I was just pretending that I didn't know

you were gonna ask me to do this with you.

Pretending? No.

That's a lie. There's a difference.

I was just pretending.

It's different.

Not to me it isn't.

I'm sorry, I don't understand the purpose of any of this.

You should have told me.

She was my grandmother.

I know, and I just...

I couldn't. I...

I want to leave.

No, don't.

No, I do want to leave.

Bye, Finn. No.

Audrey.

When did you do this?

Last night.

What do you think?

Well,

I think you might want to call New York

and let them know you're ready for that spring gallery show

after all.

What happened that suddenly you're painting again?

I don't know.

What's the... the hand?

It's the missing fifth owner.

Remind me, the fifth ring is?

Oh, it's, uh, this one.

Ah.

There's no maker's mark on it.

It's odd.

It's a lovely design, though,

the way the jeweler set the stones.

What did you say?

Just that it's a lovely design.

No, no, the other part.

The setting of the stones?

Mom. Yes.

Wait, hang on. The stones.

In Grandma's letter, she said...

here. "We hit up the beach,

"then Thompson's Park, and the woods by Mayor's Park.

I left no stone unturned."

Well, she was thorough.

She didn't turn stones.

I think she was just using a metaphor.

Mom, Grandma hated clichés.

I think she wants us to turn these stones.

I suppose that's possible.

You should tell Finn.

What?

Last night?

Finn told me that Grandma hired him

to do this job before she died.

And he said he didn't know about the rings,

but that he pretended

to not know that I was gonna hire him

to do this job that he's already been paid for.

Ah.

So that's what happened that you're painting again.

What's that supposed to mean?

Audrey,

obviously, this quest you've been doing together

and your feelings for Finn

woke up your passion.

No. He kept a secret from me.

Can you imagine why he might have done that?

No, I can't, actually.

Well, you've been running all over Minnesota

trying to honor your grandmother's wishes.

Did you ask him if maybe he's trying to honor her wish

by not telling you?

Hello?

Kay?

Hello, Finn.

Can I talk to her?

Thanks.

Audrey.

Did my grandmother tell you

not to tell me that she'd hired you?

Why?

My business was failing,

and Molly bailed me out.

She wanted you to think I was doing all of this

out of the spirit of generosity.

Which, for the record, I absolutely would have done.

Why would she care what I thought of her motive?

She said she wanted you to think as highly of me

as she did.

Finn,

I think really highly of you.

Not right now.

I appreciate you respecting my grandmother's wishes

by not telling me about

her secret deal with you.

Except I did just tell you.

Why did you?

'Cause I don't want to keep things from you.

I've done that in the past.

I don't want to do it with you.

OK.

OK like we're OK?

OK.

OK, so about the quest.

So what if the jeweler's stamp is hidden

under the stone on the ring?

What do you mean?

Well, hey, Mom, will you come back in?

So my grandmother's letter said,

"I left no stone unturned," but she...

She didn't turn over the stones.

Exactly.

I think it's a hint that we have to turn over these stones.

You think she hid something under there?

Exactly the kind of thing she would do.

What if we just take this down to Charlie's jewelry shop

and he can look under it and see if there's a maker's mark?

No, Charlie's closed today, remember?

He's gonna play Santa up at Bear Lake Community Center.

I know one of the jewelers at the emporium.

Should we go see them?

Let's go.

By golly, you're right.

There's the mark right there.

That's Charlie Flannery's stamp.

- Charlie? - Charlie?

Yeah. I take it you know him?

A-are you sure?

Oh, I know Charlie's mark.

We have to get to Bear Lake Community Center.

Ho, ho, ho, ho!

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas, Lola.

Let's look at the camera.

Merry Christmas, girls.

Should we get in line? Who's next?

Well, we're not gonna cut in front of kids.

- Here's our photo. - Can we?

Merry Christmas.

There we go.

Ho, ho, ho! Who's next?

Come on up.

Oh, Merry Christmas, Noel.

Ho, ho, ho.

Ho, ho, ho, ho.

Hello, Audrey.

Hello, Finn.

All out of presents.

Mm. We brought you one.

Ah.

Who did you make this for, Charlie?

Well, I imagine if you're here,

you've already figured out the answer to that.

Grandma only found four rings,

and she commissioned you to make the fifth.

This one.

Five gold rings.

It flows better.

Molly told me all about the quest she was sending you on,

and how she hired you to help Audrey.

Nice job.

And the fifth owner is?

Me.

Grandma.

Thank you, Charlie, for helping her.

And me.

My pleasure.

Merry Christmas.

Yeah.

Five rings before Christmas.

You did it, Audrey.

We did it, Finn.

And the last ring she had made for me.

Oh, it's beautiful.

What a story.

What a lady Molly was.

To Molly Miller.

- To Molly. - To Molly Miller.

To Lady Sinterklaas.

It's an inside joke.

All right, who's ready for some homemade apple pie

and a movie?

That sounds wonderful.

Kay, a fellow could sure get used to this.

Is that so?

Well, then, how's dinner next Friday night,

just the two of us?

Are you serious?

Don't I look serious?

- I'll be here. - OK.

Finn, want to help me with the pie?

Yeah.

Why don't you take everybody downstairs,

and get the movie ready? - OK.

OK.

Oh, would you get me a pie knife in that drawer?

Sure.

Audrey, there's a gift in here.

Really?

Who for?

I'm speechless.

You like it?

Like is not the word I'd use to describe it.

Thank you.

- Merry Christmas. - Merry Christmas.

So, uh,

listen, I have some news.

Did Molly leave you another challenge

that needs to be finished by New Year's?

No, that's not my news.

My news is

I've decided to move back to Springside

from wherever it is I live.

Manhattan.

That's the one.

Yeah, my mom and I are gonna expand the business.

Miller Timeless Antiques

and Fine Art.

I'm still out of words.

When did you decide this?

Well, it's been building.

But when we finished the quest,

I realized my grandma had brought me back

to what really matters.

It's my art. It's my home.

It's...

Yeah, it's you.
