Transcript

00:00There's no one here. The streets are empty.

00:05Yeah, that's exactly why you're there. It's not New York.

00:09Brooks Point Harbor is the perfect place to lay low.

00:12Your reservation is under Gosling.

00:14Jason, just relax. Get some sleep.

00:17Try to enjoy it while you can.

00:19We're gonna have you back at Corwin Brothers before you know it.

00:21How many times have I gotta say it?

00:23I'm done with it.

00:25Or, it's done with me.

00:27Either way, my career is over.

00:29This is all gonna blow over.

00:31People are gonna forget about some stupid mistake

00:33the minute the next celebrity scandal breaks.

00:35That mistake was on national TV.

00:38Live in primetime.

00:40They're not just gonna forget.

00:42Yeah, and you shouldn't have been in that competition in the first place.

00:45Especially after what happened to your brother.

00:59I'm Laura.

01:03Welcome to the Brooks Point Inn.

01:05How can I help you?

01:07You didn't want an elevator?

01:09All right then, Mr. Gosling.

01:13No relation.

01:14Let's get you checked in.

01:16So are you in town for the festival?

01:18What festival?

01:19Is there always smoke billowing out of your kitchen?

01:22That's just five alarm dennings.

01:24Doing what she does best.

01:25Okay, well what she does best is gonna set us all up in flames.

01:28Mr.

01:29Thank you for calling Brooks Point Inn.

01:34This is Laura speaking.

01:35Oh, stupid hunk of junk.

01:38Okay, that hunk of junk is actually doing its job.

01:44Are you trying to burn the place down?

01:46Um, no.

01:47Actually, I'm not.

01:48Everything's under control.

01:49I'm just doing a little bit of baking here.

01:52Whoops.

01:53There we go.

01:54And, uh...

01:56Some scones.

01:59All under control.

02:00I see why they call you five alarm dennings.

02:03Hi.

02:06I'm so sorry.

02:07I don't normally greet guests this way.

02:11I'm Abby.

02:12I run Brooks Point Inn.

02:14I didn't realize smoke inhalation was part of the complimentary service.

02:18The next show starts at five.

02:23Um, and you are?

02:24Jay.

02:29I knew if I followed the smoke, I'd find my granddaughter.

02:32Gran.

02:33Are you all right?

02:34Is everything okay?

02:35I was gonna ask you the same thing.

02:36Oh.

02:38Oh.

02:39Hello, dear.

02:40I'm Alice.

02:41I see you've already met my granddaughter.

02:43Yeah.

02:44I'm hoping that our home will suffice for your temporary home away from home.

02:49Why won't we be staying alone?

02:50Oh, I hope you reconsider.

02:53The smoke will clear, dear.

02:54At all.

02:55If you'd like to follow me, I can get you settled in.

02:57Into one of our non-smoking rooms.

02:59How are you?

03:03Okay.

03:04Come.

03:06You good?

03:07Yeah.

03:12Well, Gran, I don't know if it's such a good idea that I take over for Matilda as chef.

03:16I think that you can do anything you set your mind to.

03:25What are your thoughts on hiring an extra set of hands, just one person to help Brad out?

03:30Because I know he's run off his feet. He's so busy, he doesn't have time to fix everything.

03:35Gran, is everything okay?

03:37Oh, yes.

03:40Well.

03:42Gran, what is it? Do you need an ambulance?

03:46The ins are the money.

03:48I've used my personal savings to balance the books for over a year.

03:54And I've neglected paying the property taxes for a few years.

03:59I wanted to tell you, but I really thought I had everything under control.

04:04It's okay. I'm sure it's not that bad.

04:08Oh, it's worse.

04:10This is my home.

04:12And I can't even imagine living anywhere else.

04:15Oh, Abby, I'm so sorry.

04:17Gran, it's okay. I know. I know this is your home. I...

04:21Let me take a look at the books.

04:23I'm sure I can shuffle some numbers around.

04:25$43,000 is an awful lot of shuffling.

04:28Leave it with me. I'll think of something. I promise.

04:32Okay.

04:33Okay?

04:38You have one saved voice message.

04:45Hey, just about to board.

04:47I want you to know the meeting went great.

04:49They love their ideas.

04:50Man, there's the craziest sunset at the airport.

04:53Makes me excited for tomorrow.

04:55I'll call you when we land.

04:59Oh, great.

05:02Nice to see you, too.

05:03Sorry, I was just hoping to do some thinking on my love seat for a bit.

05:07Your love seat?

05:08Didn't see your name on it.

05:09No, not my name, but my parents.

05:12They used to hang out here quite a bit.

05:13This was kind of their spot.

05:18Anyway, I don't want to interrupt your cell phone time, so...

05:21Plenty room for two.

05:23I'm sorry about your parents.

05:28Oh, it happened a long time ago.

05:32I wear their wedding rings so I feel closer to them.

05:36I always feel so calm here.

05:40I bet your lungs do.

05:43Five alarm.

05:45I guess I'll never live that one down.

05:50Listen, about earlier, I'm sorry for the way things were handled.

05:53I know you were just trying to help.

05:55I shouldn't have been so rude.

05:57Just on edge.

05:59It was a long trip.

06:00Thanks.

06:01So, where did you travel from?

06:04New York.

06:05Okay.

06:06And what brings you here?

06:08Free will.

06:09Just somebody else's.

06:11Okay.

06:12Before you leave, though, you have to do yourself a favor.

06:15Try our diner's BLT.

06:17It's so, so good.

06:18It's to die for.

06:20Diner and dine.

06:21I can see how they go together.

06:24Oh, come on.

06:25You live in New York.

06:26You're telling me you don't like diners?

06:28New York is some of the finest restaurants in the world.

06:30Why would I eat at a diner?

06:33I've never eaten at a diner.

06:35Never will.

06:36You have never...

06:38Okay, you have to go to a diner.

06:40You have to go to ours and try the BLT.

06:41It's the best.

06:43No, I don't.

06:44And how do you know it's the best BLT?

06:47I mean, how many diner BLTs have you tried?

06:50Okay, easy, Mr. Corwin.

06:53Corwin.

06:55Gosling didn't last long.

06:57I guess my days of being undercover are over.

07:01You should tilt your nose down once in a while.

07:04Otherwise, you'll miss what's going on around you.

07:07Or where you're at.

07:09Okay, that's not fair.

07:11Whatever you've read about me, you have no clue.

07:16I'm not assuming anything.

07:17You've made quite an impression here on your own already.

07:24I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to offend you.

07:27Well, you did.

07:30Brooks Point Harbor means a lot to the people of this town.

07:34You don't get to come here and hide out from whatever terrible things you've done

07:37and then judge anything you're not willing to experience yourself.

07:43Anyway, I have somewhere I have to be.

07:44Take a little Beretti and about five. Coffee?

07:59Uh, no thanks. I'm running on natural jitters today.

08:00The camera adds ten pounds, even to a mare.

08:01Too bad they didn't come off after the picture.

08:02I heard you run into a bit of trouble at the inn. Matilda's replaced on bailing on you.

08:05I can't be good for business.

08:06It's all under control, Mayor Joan.

08:07Thanks.

08:08Order's up, Abby.

08:09Hey, Joan, have you seen this?

08:11Christmas Chef Showdown?

08:12Grand prize of $50,000?

08:13Nothing to sniff at, huh?

08:14They want a mystery competitor.

08:15A local amateur cook to compete against their big-name chefs.

08:17Amateur?

08:18What, as in no talent required?

08:19It is a televised event.

08:20I almost said, what a bit of a big company.

08:21I had to talk to the people, but I don't want them!

08:22I don't want them to have a big company.

08:23I don't want to.

08:24I need many other things, and I'll do.

08:25I need to try to reflect that.

08:26I'm going to edit it in a bit of your eyes.

08:27Yes.

08:28I'm going to be on Amazon.

08:30And I'll do it in a bit of a bit of a mess.

08:32All right, my dad.

08:33It's all under control, Mayor Joan.

08:34Thanks.

08:35Order's up, Abby.

08:36Hey, Joan, have you seen this?

08:37Christmas Chef Showdown?

08:38Grand prize of $50,000?

08:39Nothing to sniff at, huh?

08:40They want a mystery competitor.

08:41their big-name chefs. Amateur, as in no talent required? It is a televised event. I can do this.

08:51I've alarmed Ennings in a cooking contest. What, scorched sardines again? That fish was flambéed.

08:59I don't think so. But if you did participate, having one of our oldest businesses would be

09:05great in my advertising. Yes, it would be amazing advertising for the end, plus $50,000.

09:11You have to win to get that.

09:24You know what? I'll take two strawberry milkshakes to go, please. Thanks.

09:28Do you have to keep playing with that thing? I don't have to, but if I don't fix it, this whole

09:37place will burn down. I'll try to be faster. Thank you. Strawberry milkshakes.

09:43Uh-oh, what's going on? Oh, you know, it's Christmas. You two have been doing amazing

09:49work lately. And? And I'm hoping you're willing to do a little extra hard work this coming week.

09:55So we're not hiring more help? What does extra mean? Just a couple of hours a day.

10:01I'm planning on entering the cooking competition in the festival.

10:05What? More charred cheesecake? Very funny. So take a look at this. They are looking for a local

10:11contestant. If I'm selected, there will be two other competitors, which means I have actually

10:16really good odds at winning this thing. You know the other two competitors are actual chefs,

10:20right? Professionals. I know that, but they specify that they want local talent, which means

10:25they probably just want some charm and fun, which I will bring. How exactly are you going to learn

10:31to cook in a week? Online tutorials. Matilda's cookbooks. I have a kitchen at my disposal.

10:39Okay, I know I'm not the best chef in the world. I get a little distracted,

10:43but if I have something to focus on, I'll be able to move mountains. Okay. You know,

10:48I'm all about self-improvement and you becoming less of a fire hazard. But why on earth do you want

10:53to do this? We need this $50,000. The end's in a little bit of trouble. I, I was speaking with my

11:04grandma who's been trying to balance the books, but it's bad. It's really bad. But if I win this prize

11:12money, this will at least bring us out of the red. The end actually close? Not if I win this

11:18competition. I guess I could help Laura out with the guest services. Seems easy enough. I can help

11:24Brad with repairs. Have you ever held a hammer in your life? A hammer? What's a hammer? What's a girl to do?

11:32I know, I know this is a really big ask, but I can't do this without you.

11:36Okay. First step. Name. Abby Dennings. Easy. That's a lot of fine print. Are you a professional

11:49chef? I'm going to go ahead and click the no box on that one. What's next? Application not processed

11:57until full payment of entrance fee received. Five hundred dollars? What? Who has five hundred

12:05dollars lying around? We could have a bake sale. Sell 500 burned scones. No, the application deadline

12:11is tonight at midnight. I don't have time to burn that many scones. Abby, no. You better get to cooking.

12:25I need you to teach me how to cook. I need you to teach me how to cook. I'm not a chef anymore.

12:40Whatever, you still know how to cook. And apparently I'm also a snob. I know I'm being a little pushy

12:45right now, and I'm sorry for the way I spoke to you earlier. You actually? Look, I'm not asking you to be

12:50my friend. I know I really irritate you, but what I am asking for is a teacher. I'm really hoping to

12:57enter a cooking competition in the By the Bay Christmas food festival next week. Food festival?

13:04Gary. Oh, come on. You're already bored out of your mind. You've been here for less than a day.

13:10You've got to find something to do. It's not going to be you cooking. It's going to be me. And it's not

13:15like I need to cook for the president. I just need to learn how to not set things on fire and not poison

13:19anybody. Yeah, sorry. It's a steep landing curve. Gary. Yeah, it's your favorite client here. Just

13:26wondering why his overpaid lawyer dropped him off in the one place he's hosting a Christmas food festival.

13:31Call me back. So that's it? Look, it's within your best interest not to be associated with me right now.

13:37Is it true? Did you cheat on that cooking competition?

13:44It's not a tough question. No one's actually ever asked me that before. My brother's memory was on

13:49the line. I barely even remember making the decision. Do you regret it? Every day. People make mistakes

13:55all the time. Celebrities are not. Scandals like mine kill careers. I've completely undone everything

14:02that David worked so hard for. You can't bring your brother back, but you can do everything in your

14:07power to continue his legacy. I've been ousted by my own company. Okay, I'm completely toxic within

14:14the industry. Nobody wants me. I want you. If I agree to this, you got to know it's going to be long

14:24hours. Yes. Yes, I'll do anything. It'll be demanding and stressful, and you're probably going to hate me

14:30even more by the end of this. Yes. Thank you.

14:40This is going to be a lot of hard work, okay? Yes, chef. And we also need to find another kitchen

14:47away from the inn. You are far too distracted. I know just the place. Cheryl's behind the cafe across

14:52the street. Okay, we start first thing in the morning. 7 a.m. sharp. Do not be late. I will not be late.

15:09You're late. No, I'm two minutes early. You're not even dressed for work. Go and change into something

15:16less flirty. I'm wearing a blouse. I have to look half decent to run the inn. It's not suitable for a

15:22kitchen. Go and change into something else. And tie your hair up. Hurry, or you're really going to be late

15:30by the time you get back. Dude, egotistical. Hey, chef. So, do I pass the inspection now? Excellent.

15:45Okay, first thing's first. What have you got to prep for the competition? There are three different

15:50challenges. The appetizer, the main course with a side dish, and a dessert. Okay, number one is give me knife

15:56skills. This is a chef's knife. Ooh, I like this one. Put that down. Safety. Always safety. Got it.

16:11Hold the knife handle in the palm of your hands. You want to keep your thumb pressed against the blade.

16:17You want to try and keep the knife on the chopping board. Smooth motions. Okay? Okay.

16:26Chef, do you ever think I'll be able to chop air like you do? No.

16:33Slow and easy. No rushing. You want the curved side down. This hand, you're going to want back here in

16:41the celery. Away from the blade. And then just slow, easy movements. Smaller, more uniform pieces.

16:52Right, right. So, it looks nice. Chef, does celery bleed? No, celery does not bleed.

17:02Number two, no shortcuts. These distractions, they can get you really hurt. But cuts do happen. So,

17:10number three, get used to blood. I'm going to get the first aid kit. Okay, chef. I think we might have

17:18another problem. Why now? It doesn't look deep. No, it's not that deep. No, I need stitches.

17:31Take care of that finger. I'm going to need it in the future. You're the best. Thank you, Cheryl.

17:39If you're not going to listen to me, there is no point in me teaching you. I am going to listen,

17:43I promise. Okay, whoa, whoa, whoa. No, lesson is done for today. We were just getting started.

17:49Your head is not in the game. And I need to reevaluate my plan. Study this tonight. The

17:55pitches will help you with your technique. Do you have one with dummies in the title? Dummies. Really?

18:01I wouldn't have agreed to help you if I thought that. Oh, now you got me feeling all warm and fuzzy

18:06inside. Or maybe I'm still feeling lightheaded. There is a test in the morning. Okay, well,

18:14fingers crossed that I don't amputate something tomorrow. That's not funny. Rule number four,

18:21no laughing in the kitchen. Preparing food for people is not a joke. It's an honor. Okay,

18:27why did you become a chef anyway? Be more occupied with yourself, Abby. If you want a chance at winning

18:33this competition, you need to find your purpose. Where's your focus at? Why do you need to win?

18:48Ah, not my friends' euchre. Ladies, enough with the table talk, please. Alice is my oldest friend.

18:57We don't table talk. We read each other's minds. Well, that's still cheating. Jason.

19:08I was just going to get some fresh air when I had the snap of cards at the table. You have good

19:12hearing. Well, they're professionals. People who do anything to win. Yes. Fueled by tea and cookies.

19:19You have me at tea. Really? You're a tea connoisseur like the rest of us? Caffeine anything.

19:24I respect that. You were right. I need to focus on what's important. This?

19:33This right here is why I need to win this competition. The inn isn't just my home. It's

19:37a cornerstone in our community. And winning that prize money is going to keep it that way.

19:42Remember that for tomorrow's lesson. Jason, join us for a round.

19:48You should take my place. I have to make more tea. Can she make tea, Alice? Is that safe?

19:58Have you played much, euchre? Not much.

20:01Okay. Knuckles tucked from in.

20:16My grandkids are not going to believe I played cards with Jason Corwin.

20:31Would you be a dear and sign your cookbook for my granddaughter?

20:36Alice mentioned you were staying here.

20:38Perhaps now is not the best time.

20:50Thank you, dear.

20:53Well, it's been an absolute pleasure to meet you all.

20:58Thank you very much for the game.

20:59It's okay to let yourself grieve.

21:10It's better to feel the emotion than to try to sweep it away.

21:15Once you've felt the loss, you can begin to heal.

21:21Thank you, Alice. I just wish I knew how.

21:24Lean on your friends. You have more support than you know.

21:47So? Is he better than me?

21:49Good. Very good.

22:01Smaller slices. Remember, uniform slices.

22:04Right. Right.

22:06So, why did you sneak away so early last night?

22:10Okay, the kitchen needs discipline and restraint, not gossip.

22:14It's not gossip. I just, I saw you having fun last night.

22:17It was nice to see you let your hair down a little bit.

22:19Okay, just focus on the work.

22:22I'm trying to focus. Would you lighten up?

22:25I feel like I'm walking on eggshells here.

22:27Sorry, but this isn't the place to get personal.

22:30I'm just saying we don't have to spend the day chopping in brooding silence.

22:34You know, you can have some conversation with somebody who's trying to be your friend.

22:39You said you wanted a teacher, not a friend.

22:42Whoa. You played cards with my grandma last night.

22:45I'm sorry. We're friends now. Jason, you're helping me. Maybe I can help you a little bit.

22:51Abby, enough.

22:55Okay, now we are literally both walking on eggshells.

22:58Jason, why are you so hurt on yourself?

23:01Let's just clean up and move on.

23:07What are you doing?

23:08You are wound way too tight. You need to let loose a little bit.

23:11Stop it.

23:12Not until you drop one. On purpose.

23:14Abby, that is not going to happen.

23:16You can't just shut down all the time. It's okay to laugh a little bit when life gets messy.

23:20I'm not going to laugh. I'm ticked off.

23:22Well, that's a lot of anger over some broken eggs.

23:25You are the most...

23:25It's okay to be angry for a while.

23:28Grief is a process, but you can't just...

23:30Save it, all right? I know all about grief.

23:33Why do you think I'm here when everything that ever meant anything to me is in New York?

23:37Yesterday you asked me why I became a chef.

23:39It was David's dream.

23:41We did everything together. Same school, same job.

23:44I didn't want to do anything else because I knew whatever we did together, we'd be greater.

23:50I didn't just lose David. I lost half of myself.

23:53Well, if that's true, then you still have half of yourself left.

23:59We can't choose what happens in our lives, but we can choose what happens moving forward.

24:04Maybe it's time that you find a new path.

24:07I don't know who I am without him.

24:10You're Jason Corwin, and that's enough.

24:14You don't need to figure out everything today, but you can start by being yourself.

24:19An imperfect human being like the rest of us. So, stew on that.

24:27Okay, how did that feel?

24:29Better than anger.

24:30Yes.

24:33All right, what's next?

24:34I suppose scrambled eggs.

24:37Oh, sounds egg-cellent.

24:41That's a terrible pun, but I appreciate the egg-foot.

24:48What are you doing at Brooks Point Harbor?

25:00Jason?

25:01Hey, you're the last person I thought I'd see here.

25:05Oh, a little higher on the left.

25:07What?

25:08I work for TNCN now. They're the festival sponsor.

25:11Roger sent me down to do setup and to ensure the town was acceptable for a stay.

25:16Well, that's generous. I call it difficult, or belligerent.

25:20Well, off the record, he's even worse after his promotion.

25:23He's so busy with the Corwin brothers, too.

25:26Yeah. Or Roger.

25:28Right, well, I got a lot of Roger's details to take care of. It was nice seeing you.

25:32How's my favorite client?

25:46Did you set me up, putting me in the same town as Roger?

25:49Jason, look, I knew about the festival, but I didn't know that he was running it.

25:53Although, this could be a good opportunity for you.

25:56Do you hear what you just said? He's no longer my rival. He's just moved straight on into enemy.

26:02I'm getting the first flight out of here.

26:04I'm not going to sell to some big chain. Besides, I'm not going to have to sell at all.

26:13Abby's going to win the money and pay off our debts.

26:15Abby can barely boil water. She only has a chance of getting chosen because she's a pretty local with

26:20a historical cause. Plus, she'll be against top chefs. I believe in her. You need to think about

26:26what's best for the future. If I get you a substantial offer, you can live comfortably the rest of your life.

26:31You're impossible. So are you.

26:35Abby, Mary Joan, I hope to get that water boiling technique on lockdown. I'm sure you will.

26:45Fran, I'm sorry you had to listen to that nonsense.

26:48I'm afraid she has a point. The bank is not going to wait forever before they foreclose.

26:53No, no, no, Gran, Gran, please don't sell just yet. The ads at the festival are going to bring in more

26:59guests. Plus, my practicing has been going really well. Look at these cookies. They're not burnt,

27:03not even one of them. I believe you can win, but the fact is, if you don't, I'll have no other choice

27:10but to sell.

27:27Come in.

27:27Abby, I, um, is everything okay? Oh, yeah. Yeah, no, I'm just practicing outside of school hours,

27:40chef. Cutting onions. Burning onions more likely. The pan is way too hot. Might as well just throw it

27:48out and start again. Right, I forgot. Medium-low heat for caramelization, right? Right. Hey, do you want a

27:54glass? I may not know the difference between my kale and my collards, but I take my wine very seriously.

28:05Cheers.

28:08Come on in.

28:16I see you have all the big names out tonight. It's good that you're doing the research.

28:20Abby, you're not cutting onions anymore. What's up?

28:29I told you finances were tight. If I don't win this competition,

28:32my grandma's going to have to sell the inn to one of those big chain motels in town.

28:37It's a lot of pressure to put in yourself. And that's just the half of it.

28:41You know, if she has to sell, I'll lose my job. My grandma's in the early stages of Parkinson's,

28:48and this is her last connection to my parents and my grandpa, too. So it's just really important

28:56for her mental health that she stay in the inn.

28:58Why do you keep doing that? Where's your necklace?

29:09I use the rings to raise the entrance fee for the competition. So if I lose, the rings are gone, too.

29:17How about that? Dinner and a show. It'd be great for distraction management. The key is to breathe,

29:23quiet the minds. The competition is going to be chaotic and noisy, so you might as well get used to it.

29:31Should I get some wooden spoons and pots and pans for your enjoyment?

29:35Hands off, I swear.

29:36Okay, not bad.

29:53I'm sorry. It definitely could have used a lot more cheese.

29:56No apologies, no excuses. Whatever you put in front of someone is your masterpiece. Be proud of it.

30:02Okay, chef, honest opinion. What did you think of this masterpiece?

30:09The pasta could have used two more minutes, but other than that, it was pretty good.

30:15I have a question for you about your competition. How did you get disqualified?

30:21My popovers didn't rise two minutes before the buzzer went off, and my sous chef offered his rosemary potatoes.

30:28Marcus later denied that he offered them to me and that he played any part in it.

30:34I was publicly shamed, and he got his own TV show.

30:37That doesn't seem right. I shouldn't have been in the competition anyway.

30:41I was not in a good place after my brother died, but Roger persuaded me to do it to honor David's memory.

30:47Well, I never had the pleasure of knowing David, but I think Jason Corwin's pretty great.

30:57Well, I should get going. 7am shower. Crash course on main courses.

31:05You need to make sure you save the inn.

31:07Keep tomorrow night open for a field trip. I think you and I could use some fresh air after all this

31:15smoke inhalation that's been going on. Good. Field trip it is.

31:19Great. I'll pick you up at 8.

31:21I'm gonna regret this.

31:35It's beautiful.

31:38It's my favorite place to see the town at night.

31:41So calm and quiet.

31:44I've not seen anything like it in the city.

31:46I'll light a tree. There's so many stars.

31:51It's a hidden gem.

31:54This is magical. Thank you.

32:16Wow. This is beautiful.

32:26I would have killed to have produce like this as a chef.

32:29Carrots. I just want carrots.

32:31Looks like the TNCA crew has arrived.

32:47I'm gonna let Roger from this.

32:50Wanna join?

32:51I've actually got some errands to run.

32:54Okay.

32:54But I'll catch you later?

32:55Yeah, sure.

33:01I need you out there.

33:08The rooms are ready to go, but I'm not sure they're checking in.

33:11What?

33:15Whatever the guests want, they get.

33:17We have to make sure everybody's happy here.

33:18Matilda's RV broke down and she won't be back for a few days.

33:22Okay, we'll need to organize the meal vouchers for everybody until she gets back.

33:24Hmm.

33:26Meal vouchers?

33:27About that diner?

33:29Is this some kind of joke?

33:29Merry Christmas.

33:31My name's Abby Dennings.

33:32I'm the manager here at Brooks Poiton.

33:34You are the mystery cook on our Christmas Chef Showdown.

33:37What?

33:39Did I get selected?

33:40You haven't heard?

33:41No.

33:42Somebody from my team was supposed to contact Joan,

33:44and then Joan was supposed to contact you,

33:46and so Mary must have fallen through the cracks,

33:48but congratulations.

33:49You have been selected.

33:52Thank you so much.

33:53I'm Robert Evans,

33:54VP of Communications and Executive Producer at the National Cooking Network.

33:59Well, it's so lovely to meet you, Mr. Evans.

34:01We're so excited to have you here.

34:02I'm sure you are.

34:03Now, I only agreed to these accommodations,

34:07because I was told they include breakfast and dinner here at the inn.

34:12Now, I'm having a very important client to wine and dine with tonight,

34:16and if that kitchen is not running, I'll be more than happy to find somewhere else to stay.

34:21I'm taking the entire crew with me.

34:22You know what?

34:23That won't be necessary.

34:25Our chef has just had a slight delay outside of town,

34:27but she'll be-

34:27And Abby has hired an even better chef.

34:29Laura?

34:30Excellent.

34:30Problem solved.

34:32Mr. Evans, wait.

34:33I've been waiting for too long, Ms. Dunnings.

34:35Now, are you able to provide dinner or not?

34:38Yes.

34:39We'll have dinner ready for you at seven o'clock tonight.

34:42Well then, it looks as if I'm checking in after all.

34:45Wonderful.

34:49Is there anyone to pick up my luggage?

34:51Oh, absolutely.

34:56Laura, why did you say that?

34:57I panicked.

34:57We couldn't let him leave.

34:59All right, stay here and check in the rest of our guests,

35:01and I have to go prep dinner service.

35:02Do you want me to call Jason?

35:04Nope.

35:05No, I got this.

35:10Welcome to the Brooks Point Inn.

35:21Abby, what's going on?

35:22Sorry, but I tried.

35:23Uh, Abby, no buts.

35:25It's like everything I told you over the last week

35:27has just disappeared into thin air.

35:29Jason, that's not true.

35:30I'm just trying to-

35:31Jason.

35:31Jason, put me down.

35:32I have to cook dinner.

35:34Take your breath.

35:35What's going on?

35:37Matilda isn't back, but Roger Evans is here,

35:40and he's here with his entire crew, and he's threatening to leave

35:41if I don't have dinner ready for them tonight.

35:43Yeah, take a breath.

35:45The festival's a few days away, and I thought I had this whole cooking thing in the bag,

35:49but then I got here, and I panicked, and there's no way I'm going to win that festival,

35:54and my grandma's going to have to sell this inn, and it's-

36:02I needed to breathe.

36:06Why didn't you just call me?

36:08Because you don't work here, and honestly, I didn't know if you'd come.

36:12After everything we've been through this week, you think I'd abandon you now?

36:15Abby, you're the only reason I'm still here.

36:18Jason, I wanted your help, but I-

36:21Take this.

36:26Every chef needs one.

36:30This is amazing.

36:39No.

36:42Jason, I don't know what to say.

36:45Well, that is a first.

36:49How long do you cook chicken supreme?

36:52Until it's done?

36:54There she is.

36:55It feels good.

37:11Where did you pop some vegetables?

37:13It feels so empty.

37:14It practically looks clean.

37:16What a rush!

37:18Practically looked clean.

37:21Oh, what a rush.

37:23Nothing like it.

37:25Jason, I can't thank you enough.

37:27You held your own in there.

37:29You should be proud of yourself.

37:30Wow, this is a little weird.

37:32I kind of miss you yelling at me.

37:34I never yelled at you.

37:35Okay, but you wanted to, though.

37:37Wanting to is very different.

37:39You've done wonders for my patients.

37:41You were right.

37:43I didn't think I was ready to step back into dinner service.

37:46But I actually had a lot of fun.

37:48If it wasn't for you, I never would have found my way back to the kitchen.

38:02I can fill in for Matilda until she comes back.

38:05That way we can carry on doing this, and you can keep on training.

38:08Really?

38:11No.

38:11No, I'm so grateful for everything you've done, but...

38:15I can't afford to hire a Michelin star chef.

38:26There.

38:27Now you've paid me.

38:29We're even.

38:30I was worth every penny.

38:35Pardon me.

38:37Didn't mean to interrupt.

38:38Hello, Roger.

38:41Jason?

38:43You working here?

38:44What a surprise.

38:46No, Jason doesn't work here.

38:50Everyone's wondering where you've been.

38:52And here you are.

38:53Well, thank you both for a delightful dinner.

38:57Abby, I'll have Chanel drop off your signed contract at the front desk.

39:00Although I'm not entirely certain I'll be proceeding with the competition.

39:04What?

39:07No, I need this.

39:08Sivarnstall has pneumonia, which leaves me with Clara Tasker and you.

39:13Now, I need a professional second chef for my audience.

39:17I need...

39:18Wow.

39:19You're a local caller.

39:21And I know you hate every single project I do, but you are back in the kitchen, aren't you?

39:25Oh, Jason would love to step in.

39:27Done.

39:29Tomorrow.

39:30Two o'clock.

39:31Okay, I know I shouldn't have jumped in, but this will give you a chance to clear your name.

39:37Abby, I don't want to compete against you.

39:38Jason, you are at your happiest when you are cooking in a kitchen.

39:42You belong on that stage.

39:46Do this for you.

39:54That's great.

39:57Get in turn, right?

39:59Okay.

39:59Go in.

40:01You're almost there.

40:02Really?

40:03Okay, and sit to your left.

40:06No peeking.

40:07I'm not.

40:14And open your eyes.

40:20So, what can I get for you guys today?

40:22Two BLTs on Rye, please, Gail.

40:25Sure.

40:27What?

40:28The Jason Corwin?

40:29One in a diner?

40:30Well, I hear the BLTs are to die for.

40:34I also hear Gail got some of your famous Christmas pudding.

40:38Easy.

40:38You're not getting that recipe.

40:40It's a family secret.

40:44All right, so we've got two BLTs on Rye,

40:47and two strawberry shakes on the house.

40:49And the famous pudding.

40:52Unbelievable.

40:53Abby, you need to get to the hospital.

41:06Alice had a spell.

41:07Grant, what happened?

41:08I tripped on the area rug in my room, and I knocked my head on the table by the door.

41:20Were you feeling dizzy again?

41:22No, Abby.

41:22I just tripped.

41:24It's nothing to fuss about.

41:25We don't know that.

41:27Grant, I need you to be okay.

41:28And I am, okay, Abby, really.

41:32But there is one thing I would like to get off my chest.

41:37I've been diagnosed with Parkinson's.

41:39My symptoms aren't severe at the moment,

41:42but I haven't felt comfortable leaving the inn for a few weeks.

41:48I didn't tell you because I didn't want you treating me any differently.

41:53And Oscar, I'm still going to beat you at euchre badly.

41:59I know you will, Alice.

42:01I know you will.

42:02We'll face whatever's coming together, as we always have.

42:07Mm-hmm.

42:08Absolutely.

42:09You should see him in the kitchen.

42:16He's so confident.

42:18He knows exactly what he's doing.

42:19He's just, he's so passionate.

42:22Abby, you like him.

42:24No, he's just, he'll have to go back to his life eventually.

42:31Last week you wanted me to stay.

42:32Now you want me to come home.

42:34What's changed?

42:35Roger's frozen line is hurting the brand.

42:37The board wants you back on as chairman.

42:40Why do I want to go back to everything that made me so miserable?

42:42Roger is hawking discounted frozen foods made with the cheapest ingredients he can find from who knows what sources under your name.

42:50That can't sit right with you, Jason.

42:52Of course it doesn't.

42:54Well, then you need to head up your own company.

43:00Email me their proposal.

43:02I bumped into Roger.

43:03Long story short, I'm in the TNCN competition.

43:06What?

43:07Arnison pulled out.

43:08They needed a replacement.

43:09I'm here.

43:10It was last minute.

43:11Just be careful.

43:13I know.

43:17Abby Dennings.

43:19Table for one?

43:20Well, look who it is.

43:22What are you doing by yourself?

43:24The two lovebirds are over there by the pie table.

43:27Laura and Brad?

43:31Nice.

43:33How about a date to the crepe table with a scandal-ridden, moody ex-chef?

43:38I'm okay with scandal-ridden and moody, but what kind of crepes are we talking about?

43:43Lady's choice.

43:45Whipped cream.

43:45That's your choice.

43:49Okay, forget it.

43:50Date's off.

43:51What?

43:51Why?

43:52You can have fresh berries, cured ham, jams, and you choose whipped cream.

43:57You have the palate of a six-year-old.

44:00Six-year-olds know what's up.

44:03Are we?

44:15There are so many people here right now.

44:20The whole town is behind you.

44:22A very charming Michelin-slash-chef is also rooting for you.

44:27Okay.

44:28I'm ready when you are.

44:30Ready.

44:32Graham!

44:33Halloween!

44:35Are you sure you're up for this?

44:36You've had such a long day already.

44:38Okay.

44:39Either you want me to get out more, or you don't.

44:43But don't go changing your mind on me.

44:45I'm sorry.

44:46We love you.

44:47We love you.

44:50Go get them.

44:52We're going to go get your steaks.

44:53Okay, okay.

44:58Hi.

44:59I'm Abby Denning.

45:02I'm the mystery contestant.

45:03I'm just a huge fan of yours.

45:05It's nice to meet you.

45:06So, how long have you been cooking for?

45:08Oh, you know, a couple weeks.

45:13Good luck.

45:15I don't know if I can do this.

45:20Yes, you can.

45:21Win or lose, you're going to do it spectacularly.

45:24Remember, when you're up there, it is just you and the ingredients.

45:28Nothing else matters.

45:30You're going to be great.

45:40Welcome to a Christmas Chef Showdown.

45:43I would like to introduce you to our emcee for this competition, Marcus Aiken.

45:47Welcome to the TNCN Christmas Chef Showdown.

45:53We're two of the best chefs in the country.

45:54Marcus, my sous chef.

45:56You mean the one who forgot to have your back?

45:58Yeah, but if it wasn't for him, I'd still be in New York.

46:02Lonely and miserable.

46:03So, if anything, I own him.

46:05You'll be making an appetizer, a main dish with a side, and a dessert.

46:10Each dish will receive a maximum of 10 points.

46:13After the third course, the chef with the highest point tally will win $50,000.

46:19Now, please give a warm welcome to our contestants.

46:26Flora Tasker, Jason Corwin of Foreign Brothers in Manhattan.

46:32And now, it's time to meet our mystery cook.

46:37Brooks Point Harbor's very own, Abby Denning.

46:41Miss Denning manages the Brooks Point Inn right here in town.

46:45Chef, you must be dying to know this competition's theme.

46:49Your theme is Family Christmas.

46:54Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

46:57You have 60 minutes to create a festive appetizer that your family would love.

47:02Good luck to each of you.

47:04Your 60 minutes starts now.

47:10I am focused.

47:13I feel ill.

47:18Shortcuts, no.

47:19Distraction management, yes.

47:22I see your smile, your kiss and kindness.

47:27We're gonna wild, let us love one another.

47:31It's Christmas time.

47:37Christmas, our hearts can be amazed again.

47:40Christmas, let the whole world hold us well.

47:45Christmas, our hearts can be amazed again.

47:46Christmas, our hearts can be amazed again.

47:54Christmas, let the whole world hold us well.

48:01Welcome back.

48:02All the appetizers were delicious.

48:04In first place, with nine points, Corwin's Chestnut Soup with Fried Parsley.

48:13In second place, with a score of seven, Tasker's Butternut Squash Finish Tart, which leaves Abby's Bacon-Covered Water Chestnut with Crunchy Cranberry Slaw in last place with six points.

48:25Yes, Chef Corwin, I had the pleasure of tasting your soup.

48:30What did you call it?

48:31Dream of career comeback?

48:35Congratulations.

48:36Are you ready for round two?

48:37For your next family Christmas challenge, the main dish inside, please spend your time wisely.

48:46Contestants, begin.

49:02And time.

49:07Chef Corwin, trawled by the clock.

49:15Just a few more seconds and his spectacular pork tenderloin would have made it to the judges, but it did not.

49:22The judges award you four points.

49:24Denny, your roasted Brussels sprouts was refreshing.

49:27Eight points.

49:28Chef Daskar, your perfectly seasoned turkey gave you the edge.

49:33You win this round with nine points.

49:36Chef Corwin, I'm sorry.

49:41Your family Christmas is done.

49:43Thank you for having me in your kitchen, Chef Aiton.

49:46An executive chef versus an aspiring cook.

49:49You will win if anyone gets.

49:53Cuts.

49:54Let's take a break.

49:55Thank you very much.

49:56Eat some of the gingerbread cookies.

50:01They're so bad.

50:03Wave to my grandkids.

50:06Abby.

50:08Great work out there.

50:09Thanks.

50:10Jason was instrumental in helping me prepare for the competition.

50:13I bet.

50:14He's a master of flavor and texture.

50:15I miss working with him.

50:17You should speak with him.

50:19I know.

50:20Marcus, would you excuse us?

50:25Nice chatting with you.

50:29You're doing wonderfully in this competition.

50:31Actually far beyond my expectations.

50:35There is one little detail that's kind of bothering me, though.

50:38When you signed the contract, you stated that you never hired anyone from TNCN, and yet

50:43that's not entirely true, right?

50:46Yes, it is.

50:48You paid Jason to cook for your guests.

50:50I saw it with my own eyes.

50:53Are you talking about that pocket change thing?

50:55Because that was a total joke.

50:57And besides, Jason doesn't work for TNCN anymore.

50:59You canceled his show.

51:00Bonaire or not, he's still on the contract.

51:04Which, for you, my dear, constitutes a violation of contract.

51:09Roger, I have to compete in this competition.

51:11Oh, no, no.

51:12I'm not kicking him out of the competition.

51:14However, I need Clara to win.

51:18So let me get this straight.

51:20You want me to lose on purpose?

51:22Or what, you'll expose me on national TV due to some clerical error?

51:26Do you really think that Jason can withstand another scandal?

51:30Because that is exactly what's going to happen if his involvement comes to light.

51:37Jason had nothing to do with this.

51:39I was the one who signed that contract.

51:42It doesn't matter.

51:43I will make the public believe what I want them to believe in perceptions of wrongdoing

51:47and would only ensure that Jason never sets foot in a professional kitchen again.

51:52This is disgusting.

51:53This is business, Abby.

51:55I am looking forward to seeing your dessert at this dance.

52:00Welcome back.

52:03It's time for our final challenge.

52:05The sweetest part of any meal.

52:07Dessert.

52:08Contestants, 60 minutes starting now.

52:11Dessert.

52:20Dessert.

52:20You get your Christmas wish

52:23Lookin' through the window

52:26At the falling snow

52:28I'd just like to hear from it

52:30Rainful

52:31Christmas joy, me, bring me cake

52:34Mmm, smells like Christmas on this stage

52:40And the winner of the Christmas Chef Showdown

52:44Brought to you by the National Cooking Network

52:47With a perfect score for dessert

52:50Abby Dennings!

52:57What is it?

53:00Thank you!

53:02Thank you!

53:04Wow!

53:06Our home cook beats two top chefs

53:08Unbelievable

53:09Tell us about your winning dessert

53:11To be honest, I lucked out with the Christmas theme

53:15And I made my grandma's Christmas mini puddings

53:18My family has enjoyed this recipe for generations

53:22I... I love you, Gran

53:24Any plans for the $50,000?

53:29Yes

53:30I plan to save our home

53:33The historic Brooks Point Inn

53:35Okay, cut

53:38Abby

53:39Backstage

53:40Did you really think I wasn't serious?

53:46That I wouldn't destroy him?

53:48I'm sending that press release

53:50Oh, Roger

53:52You know how older people are really bad with technology?

53:56What?

53:56Well, that's a myth

53:57Well, that's a myth

53:57My friend Eloise just bought a new SD card

54:00She likes to take a lot of videos

54:01And she just sent me this

54:03I know it's bogus

54:04Of you threatening me

54:05You know it's bogus

54:06But do you think that Jason can't withstand another scandal?

54:10Because this is exactly what's going to happen

54:12If this moment comes to flight

54:14Jason has nothing to do with this

54:16I signed that contract

54:18It doesn't matter, only...

54:20Mmm

54:28Chips

54:29Crisps

54:30Where should I have pudding?

54:34Mmm

54:34Roger really is a piece of work

54:39I'm sorry he did that to you

54:41Marcus

54:48Hey Jason

54:50It was good to see you back in the kitchen

54:53It was good to see you too

54:54Jason, I'm sorry

54:56I never had the guts to tell you the truth

55:00Your popovers didn't rise

55:02Because I replaced the all-purpose flour with pastry flour

55:06You what?

55:08I sabotaged you

55:09Then I suggested you use what I cooked

55:11I appreciate you telling me that

55:14Everyone knew your head wasn't in the game

55:17That only made it easier for Roger

55:18It was Roger's idea

55:20He can read people

55:22He saw I was ambitious

55:24And he promised me my own show

55:26If I did what he wanted

55:27It was me that forgot the rules

55:29I appreciate you telling me

55:32But I have to take responsibility for my own plate

55:34I'm so sorry, Jason

55:36I have no right to expect your forgiveness

55:38Thank you

55:40You've got to be kidding me

55:53This is a cruel Christmas joke

55:55Jason, really?

56:01Well, I thought I would make it like the first time we met

56:03Yeah, except there was a lot more smoke in here

56:07Hi, I am Jason Corwin

56:09Your new head chef

56:11Really? You're moving here?

56:14Well, I don't know

56:16We have very high standards here at Corwin Brothers

56:18Well, I promise to work towards one more star

56:22Boss

56:23Best Christmas ever

56:25You got your parents' rings back?

56:29I did

56:30Just in time for Christmas

56:32I know we still have one more day

56:34But I ran into Santa

56:36And he told me to give you this

56:38So does this mean Santa likes to cook?

56:46Of course

56:47How else would he get Mrs. Pauls to say yes?

56:50This book has inspired many great cooks

56:53Many great cooks is right

56:56Thank you

56:59So, we don't normally exchange gifts until Christmas morning

57:03But, Gran wanted me to give you these

57:06You cut

57:08Yeah

57:08I've been branching with Oscar

57:10I love you

57:16I love you too
