00:02:59Hey, Clara.
00:03:20Hi, Alex.
00:03:21Hey, have you seen Walter?
00:03:23He asked me to bring in this assessment on Salo and O'Halla first thing.
00:03:26It's a law firm in Finland we're thinking about acquiring.
00:03:28Walter's on his way to Aspen.
00:03:30Okay, but he said it was urgent.
00:03:32Partners are. Everything's urgent.
00:03:34Just send it in an email.
00:03:35He'll get to it eventually.
00:03:39You okay?
00:03:39It's just, I was supposed to have dinner last night with the woman I've been dating, and when Walter said he needed it right away...
00:03:47You canceled.
00:03:48Yeah.
00:03:49Sorry, Alex.
00:03:50Yeah, I think Kim is mad at me because she never was...
00:03:52What is it?
00:03:56Text never went through.
00:03:58Uh-oh.
00:03:58Okay, thanks, Clara.
00:04:02The tree looks great.
00:04:03I knew you were coming over.
00:04:17A red briefcase.
00:04:19Does this mean I get to make a wish?
00:04:21Because as the legend goes, Garcia's gingerbread cookie is made specially for you.
00:04:25Your wish comes true.
00:04:26See?
00:04:28Even Gabe knows.
00:04:29He's only been working here a month.
00:04:30No, I've never seen it happen.
00:04:32Because the wishes don't happen anymore.
00:04:34And they haven't for a long time.
00:04:36Which is part of why you're here today.
00:04:39I'm always here.
00:04:40I mean, why pay rent for an office if you're going to move eventually?
00:04:43Besides, it's my favorite place in town.
00:04:46Maya, we need to talk.
00:04:52It's a big step, Luis.
00:04:55I know.
00:04:55But the magic is gone from the gingerbread, from this place, from me.
00:05:04It's not special anymore.
00:05:06And I see Julie everywhere.
00:05:09Okay, I understand.
00:05:13I can call my friend Latrice.
00:05:16Maya, I want you to help me.
00:05:19I'm a freelance contracts attorney, Luis, not a real estate agent.
00:05:22You are somebody that I know and trust, and that is the most important thing for me.
00:05:29What about Alex?
00:05:30He's an attorney, too.
00:05:32He's busy.
00:05:32And he's in New York, and you're here, and you can guide me.
00:05:39Are you sure?
00:05:41About everything?
00:05:43The Casillas Panaderia has been a staple in the neighborhood and in your family for decades.
00:05:47I know, but Alex is following his own dream, and there's nobody else to give it to.
00:05:57Look, all I want is that whoever owns it next loves it as much as I did.
00:06:02I promise to find the perfect buyer for that.
00:06:10Gracias, Maya.
00:06:11I'm still going to make a wish, though.
00:06:15Do we get to know what it is?
00:06:17Well, given how my last two years have gone, I'll try...
00:06:23Leave me where I'm supposed to be.
00:06:25Kim, hey, listen, I'm so sorry.
00:06:53I had to stay late and finish an assignment for Walter,
00:06:55and then I didn't realize that the text didn't come through until this morning.
00:07:07What's this?
00:07:08It's your pre-birthday meal.
00:07:09It's a little cold.
00:07:11Kim.
00:07:11You canceled last second again for work.
00:07:13Wait, I can make...
00:07:14Wait, I've waited.
00:07:15Three months.
00:07:16I thought we were compatible, but we're not.
00:07:20You'll probably heat that up.
00:07:21Happy birthday.
00:07:23Thank you.
00:07:37A bakery?
00:07:39The Casillas Panaderia and Cafe, right off the square in Xavier.
00:07:42Oh, right.
00:07:43I remember seeing that.
00:07:44Always meant to go in.
00:07:45It's amazing.
00:07:46Well, tell me some things that are amazing about it.
00:07:49That'll help attract buyers to the listing.
00:07:50Well, it's been around since the mid-50s when Luis Casillas immigrated with his parents from Mexico.
00:07:57Oh, and they make the most amazing gingerbread cookies.
00:07:59The way Luis tells it, his parents took their recipe for the merenitos,
00:08:03and then they shaped them into the more traditional American Christmas cookie.
00:08:07They're a staple in town.
00:08:08I'll send you some.
00:08:09Oh, I accept.
00:08:10Oh, and then there are the wishes.
00:08:13The wishes?
00:08:14Yes.
00:08:15If a Casillas makes you a gingerbread cookie specifically for you, you can make a wish on it.
00:08:20Well, that sounds like a very specific bit of Christmas magic, and I'm totally putting it in the write-up.
00:08:25Great.
00:08:26We'll speak soon.
00:08:27Bye.
00:08:27Hey, Brooke.
00:08:36Hey.
00:08:37Someone's hungry.
00:08:38Ha.
00:08:39I'm writing an article for the Xavier Daily Gazette about the panaderia for Christmas,
00:08:43and Luis gave me samples, so I'll say nice things.
00:08:46Nice perk of the job.
00:08:47Right.
00:08:51Just to ask him out already.
00:08:52No way.
00:08:54If he says no, I'll never be able to face him.
00:08:56Which would be unfortunate, since he's the only veterinarian who's ever been able to handle Colonel Ginger Fluff.
00:09:04Oh, hi.
00:09:06Hey, Maya.
00:09:07Hi, Dr. Lewis.
00:09:08Miss Sherman?
00:09:09Oh, please.
00:09:10You see me once a week with the Colonel.
00:09:12It's Brooke.
00:09:13Hey, Brooke.
00:09:14Are you staying for lunch?
00:09:16Oh, I'm leaving.
00:09:18Ha.
00:09:20Have a good day.
00:09:21You too.
00:09:22Bye.
00:09:22See ya.
00:09:28Oh, I should have gone back in.
00:09:30Uh, well, I'm at least seeing you in Sydney on Saturday, right?
00:09:33Yes.
00:09:33I'm looking forward to a girls' night.
00:09:35Yeah.
00:09:36Oh, hey, did you hear back from the Denver firm?
00:09:38No, not yet.
00:09:39Second interview should go out any day, so a glass of wine one way or the other couldn't hurt.
00:09:44Exactly.
00:09:45I'll see you Saturday.

00:12:51Je suis juste jolée.
00:12:53Elle est toujours en l'assurance ?
00:12:55Elle est.
00:12:56C'est comme je l'ai hâte.
00:12:57C'est tout le monde ?
00:12:58Maia est en train de me aider.
00:13:02En train de me vendre la panaderie.
00:13:07Sous ?
00:13:10Sous.
00:13:11C'est le temps.
00:13:17Sous-titrage Société Radio-Canada
00:13:47...
00:13:52Where'sDS?
00:13:52We have to go.
00:13:53Oh, your sister is right here.
00:13:56C'mon Slowpoke, we have a Christmas tree to buy before all the good ones are gone.
00:13:59You w 돈 in three seconds ago.
00:14:01The first Saturday of December.
00:14:02It's like the black Friday of Christmas trees.
00:14:04Besides, I need to get back and study for my interview before we go out with Brooke tonight.
00:14:08Did I hear you say interview?
00:14:09I did.
00:14:10I don't understand why you're trying to join a law firm again.
00:14:13Even like the one you worked at in Los Angeles,
00:14:15C'est bon, c'est bon, c'est bon.
00:14:45C'est bon, c'est bon, c'est bon.
00:15:15C'est bon, c'est bon.
00:15:17C'est bon, c'est bon.
00:15:19C'est bon.
00:15:21C'est bon.
00:15:23C'est bon.
00:15:55C'est bon.
00:15:56C'est bon.
00:15:57C'est bon.
00:15:58C'est bon.
00:15:59C'est bon.
00:16:00C'est bon.
00:16:01C'est bon.
00:16:02C'est bon.
00:16:03C'est bon.
00:16:04C'est bon.
00:16:06C'est bon.
00:16:07C'est bon.
00:16:08C'est bon.
00:16:09C'est bon.
00:16:10Perfect.
00:16:12What do you think?
00:16:13I like it.
00:16:14Oh, mom asked me to take a picture of the tree.
00:16:15C'est parti !
00:16:45Alex ?
00:16:47Maya, est-you ok ?
00:16:50Oui, oui, je suis...
00:16:52Oui, je suis bien.
00:16:54Et vous êtes pure.
00:16:56Oui, j'ai juste... j'ai juste pris quelques heures avant.
00:17:00Ah, donc, est-ce que c'est votre bébé ?
00:17:02Mes parents, en fait.
00:17:04Cydney et moi, j'ai besoin d'un bébé.
00:17:07Donc, Luis me dit que vous vous aidez à la panaderie ?
00:17:10Je suis.
00:17:11Au moins, nous sommes en l'organisation de l'office.
00:17:14Oh, yikes.
00:17:15Yeah, good luck with that.
00:17:16Yeah, no kidding.
00:17:18So, you're a real estate attorney ?
00:17:20No.
00:17:21Contracts.
00:17:22Oh.
00:17:23Oh, what ?
00:17:25Oh, what ?
00:17:26No, nothing.
00:17:27I just...
00:17:28I just assumed you had experience selling property.
00:17:30That's why he asked you.
00:17:31Contracts are an important part of real estate.
00:17:33Besides, the bakery is a straightforward sale.
00:17:35Luis could do it solo, if he wanted.
00:17:38Oh, but I don't want to.
00:17:40I want somebody with an eye for detail that I can trust to help me.
00:17:45Why didn't you just ask me ?
00:17:46I'm an acquisitions attorney.
00:17:47Who lives in another state.
00:17:48Yeah, but I'm home now.
00:17:49As of five minutes ago.
00:17:51And you said you'd be working.
00:17:52It's...
00:17:53It's nothing I can't handle.
00:17:54Wait, what are you asking ?
00:17:56I'm not saying anything.
00:17:57What are you implying ?
00:17:58I'm not implying.
00:17:59Hinting ?
00:18:00Yeah, I was hinting, yes.
00:18:01What are you hinting at ?
00:18:02Uh-huh.
00:18:03Okay, it's just a thought.
00:18:04Just go with me on this for a second, okay ?
00:18:05No, no, no.
00:18:06What, I haven't said anything yet.
00:18:07I know that look.
00:18:08What are you proposing ?
00:18:10What I'm proposing is that since I'm home, and I have the free time, and I'm family,
00:18:15that I can help find the buyer.
00:18:19Can you give us a second ?
00:18:24Selling the bakery is barely a two-person job, let alone three.
00:18:28And I already have Latrice Jolly as a real estate agent.
00:18:30Okay, just think of me as a concierge consultant.
00:18:32My firm has lots of experience buying and selling other firms, so I do have some insight
00:18:37on how these things go.
00:18:38Mmm.
00:18:39So, you want me to do the work, and you want to come in and give your opinion ?
00:18:42Come on.
00:18:43It'd be like old times.
00:18:44Most of the time, you won't even know I'm there, you'll see.
00:18:46Come on.
00:18:47See ?
00:18:48Magenta.
00:18:49It's not gonna happen.
00:18:51It's fun to see you and Maya together again.
00:19:07When you two work at the Panaderia, you used to make your Aunt Julie laugh so much.
00:19:14Except for that flower fight me and Maya got into that one time.
00:19:18You know, when we took you in, after your parents' accident, Julie used to say to me,
00:19:24Luis, it's a good thing that we didn't have children of our own, because that Alejandro,
00:19:30he takes all of my spare energy.
00:19:32And that was before you became a teenager.
00:19:35Oh.
00:19:36Vanessa Owens sending us a sponsorship package on Monday for the Christmas games.
00:19:46You're a sponsor again this year?
00:19:48Yes.
00:19:49Final one.
00:19:50And last year, I volunteered the Panaderia to host Las Posadas this Christmas.
00:19:55That's gonna be a lot of work, Tio.
00:19:57You gonna ask somebody to help out?
00:19:58Don't worry about it.
00:20:00Panaderia's not gonna sell before Christmas.
00:20:03And hosting Las Posadas is an honor.
00:20:08Are you sure you want to sell?
00:20:12Yes.
00:20:14I've thought about this for quite some time.
00:20:17I promise.
00:20:21By the way, can you fill in for me on Monday morning?
00:20:24Okay, I see how it is. You just want free labor.
00:20:28Only because you're so good at it.
00:20:30You've been following me around and baking since you were like this high.
00:20:33And your mom and dad used to ask Julia and I to babysit you.
00:20:36I still cook whenever I'm stressed.
00:20:39My colleagues always put in requests whenever I got a big case.
00:20:42Alejandro, don't let them see you as a cook.
00:20:46They may not take you serious.
00:20:48And you're as good and as important a lawyer as any one of them.
00:20:51I know, Tio. I know.
00:20:54Look, your Aunt Julia and I, we didn't work so hard to put you through law school so that anybody would see you as anything but their equal.
00:21:02Ya sé, Tio.
00:21:04I can't tell you how grateful I am for that.
00:21:15Alex Casillas? When's the last time you two spoke?
00:21:18The day he left for college and you spilled the beans about Jean-Pierre.
00:21:22Who are Alex and Jean-Pierre and what high school beans were spilled?
00:21:27In my defense, I didn't know that Jean-Pierre was being used as a pretend overseas boyfriend to fake out Alex so he wouldn't know Maya had been crushing on him for so long.
00:21:35Jean-Pierre was a French boy I met the second half of junior year when I left for a semester in Paris, who she then pretended was her true love in high school.
00:21:43Why? Why?
00:21:44Because she was too chicken to tell her real true love how she felt.
00:21:47Alex was not my one true love.
00:21:49Well, because you never told him.
00:21:52Actually, that's not true.
00:21:54What?
00:21:55You never said anything.
00:21:57It was humiliating.
00:21:59Wait, so you did tell Alex you liked him?
00:22:02Way worse.
00:22:03I wrote this big, passionate letter with all my feelings laid out like only a 17-year-old can.
00:22:10Oh, no.
00:22:11I did.
00:22:12And then I put it in the pocket of his jacket when we were working together at his uncle's bakery the day before I left for my semester in Paris.
00:22:19What did he do? Did he contact you?
00:22:22Not a single word.
00:22:26It was devastating.
00:22:28So I, in my teenage brilliance, concocted this story about Jean-Pierre and how he swept me off my feet, so that when I returned...
00:22:36Alex who?
00:22:38Genius.
00:22:39Except for the part where she forgot to tell me.
00:22:41Yeah, who told Alex the truth about Jean-Pierre.
00:22:44Innocently.
00:22:45Well, but then what happened with Alex?
00:22:49Nothing.
00:22:50Nothing has ever happened between me and Alex.
00:22:53And nothing ever will.
00:22:55Oh, Gabe, I made that one for you.
00:23:10Oh, thanks.
00:23:12My uncle tells me you play hockey.
00:23:14Uh, yeah. Mom says I was born in skates.
00:23:16So you got any plans to play in college?
00:23:18Uh, I'll try to walk on if I go, but it's not cheap.
00:23:23What about scholarships?
00:23:25Yeah, yeah.
00:23:26I've applied, but there are a lot of guys around here that are good at hockey, so...
00:23:31Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I made that cookie, not my uncle, so I don't think any gingerbread wishes are gonna be happening.
00:23:43Well, couldn't hurt.
00:23:45Hey.
00:23:50Hey.
00:23:51Hey.
00:23:53You're awfully early.
00:23:54Thought I'd get in some work before Sidney meets us.
00:23:56Oh, for the photos. Right, yeah.
00:23:58Um, can I get you anything in the meantime?
00:24:00Waverless Rancheros, coming up.
00:24:03I come here a lot.
00:24:05Apparently.
00:24:06Oh, the rumors are true.
00:24:17Hey.
00:24:18How's it going?
00:24:19How are you?
00:24:20Pretty good.
00:24:21When did you get back in the town?
00:24:22Saturday.
00:24:23I'll be in through Christmas.
00:24:24All right, well, I gotta get to the clinic.
00:24:25You know, back-to-back feline teeth cleanings and wait, but consider this me putting in a reservation for your time.
00:24:30Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
00:24:31Can't wait to hear what's new in the world of Dr. Ian Lewis.
00:24:34Well, like I said, back-to-back feline teeth cleanings.
00:24:37Very exciting stuff.
00:24:38Nice.
00:24:39Give me a call.
00:24:40Okay.
00:24:42Hey, Sid.
00:24:43Hey.
00:24:48Ooh, who is that?
00:24:49Oh, hey.
00:24:50That is Jacques Hubert, owner of Jacques's Matisserie.
00:24:53He's one of the potential buyers Latrice sent over.
00:24:56Sold.
00:24:57A little more involved than that, but your vote is noted.
00:24:59Are there a ton of buyers?
00:25:00We haven't listed it yet.
00:25:01That's why you are here, to take a ton of photos,
00:25:03and we have many buyers.
00:25:05Cool.
00:25:06Though, my vote is with Jacques.
00:25:08Got it.
00:25:09Ooh.
00:25:10Hey.
00:25:11That was good.
00:25:12That was good.
00:25:13That was all good.
00:25:14Stop.
00:25:15Stop.
00:25:16Okay.
00:25:17Thank you.
00:25:18This one's my favorite.
00:25:19Marty's amazing.
00:25:20It's so good.
00:25:21This one's my favorite.
00:25:22Marty's amazing.
00:25:23Okay.
00:25:24So good.
00:25:25Thank you.
00:25:26Thank you.
00:25:27Thank you.
00:25:28Thank you.
00:25:29Thank you.
00:25:30Thank you.
00:25:31Thank you.
00:25:32Thank you.
00:25:33Thank you.
00:25:34Hey.
00:25:35That was good.
00:25:36That was good.
00:25:37That was all good.
00:25:38Stop.
00:25:43This one's my favorite.
00:25:44Marty's amazing.
00:25:45This one's amazing.
00:25:46Okay.
00:25:55Look at these.
00:25:56What are these?
00:25:57These are the panetteria of finances.
00:26:00Casillas has earned a strong reputation over the decades.
00:26:03And Luis made some great vendor deals.
00:26:05He's always been a people person.
00:26:07Plus, it helps with families on the building for decades.
00:26:10This property will go quick.
00:26:15Bring it.
00:26:22No bakery chains.
00:26:25Thanks.
00:26:27What do you think?
00:26:28Oh, she talked way too, uh...
00:26:29We'll be in touch.
00:26:32He used to hear regardless.
00:26:36I don't know.
00:26:37His finances feel iffy to me.
00:26:41Thanks for coming.
00:26:43Nope.
00:26:44She littered before she walked in.
00:26:45I saw it.
00:26:46Really?
00:26:47Thank you.
00:26:50Reminds me of a guy I don't like.
00:26:52So?
00:26:53Uh...
00:26:54Not him.
00:26:59Looking at me some good progress this week.
00:27:03You said no for one reason or another to eight potential buyers.
00:27:07Just separating the wheat from the chaff?
00:27:09Uh...
00:27:10Obstructionism.
00:27:11Yeah.
00:27:12Well...
00:27:13But from my perspective.
00:27:14You always did.
00:27:18You know, it's been years since we got to work together in here.
00:27:21Yet it...
00:27:22Kind of feels like no time has passed at all.
00:27:25Really?
00:27:26Feels like an eternity since high school.
00:27:29Lots happened.
00:27:31No. Yeah. True.
00:27:33Um...
00:27:35I don't know.
00:27:36Looking at you now, it feels like it could have been yesterday.
00:27:44Hi.
00:27:46My name's Jacques Hubert.
00:27:47Sorry to bother you, but I happen to be in the neighborhood.
00:27:50Is the owner around?
00:27:51Hi.
00:27:52Maya Owens.
00:27:53We exchanged emails.
00:27:54Right.
00:27:55Of course.
00:27:56Hi.
00:27:57Hi.
00:27:58Hi.
00:27:59Oh, this is...
00:28:00Alejandro Casillas.
00:28:01You just call me Alex.
00:28:02So are you the owner?
00:28:03No.
00:28:04My uncle owns it, actually.
00:28:05He's consulting on the sale.
00:28:06Wonderful.
00:28:07Except for losing a part of my childhood.
00:28:08It is wonderful.
00:28:09Yeah.
00:28:10So did we have a meeting scheduled?
00:28:11No.
00:28:12Sorry, I'm being a little presumptuous.
00:28:13It's just, uh...
00:28:14I was so impressed by those photos.
00:28:15Especially that one with the hands.
00:28:16My sister's the photographer.
00:28:17She's really good.
00:28:18Anyhow, I was...
00:28:19over visiting her.
00:28:20She's really good.
00:28:21Anyhow, I was...
00:28:22over visiting her.
00:28:23She's really good.
00:28:24She's really good.
00:28:25She's really good.
00:28:26She's really good.
00:28:27She's really good.
00:28:28She's really good.
00:28:29She's really good.
00:28:30She's really good.
00:28:31Anyhow, I was over visiting some friends in Littleton,
00:28:34so I thought I'd swing by and...
00:28:36see the place in person.
00:28:37Where do you live?
00:28:38Downtown Denver.
00:28:39So, not too far.
00:28:40That's where my patisserie is.
00:28:42Right.
00:28:43Patisserie?
00:28:44It's a French bakery.
00:28:46No, I know...
00:28:47I know what it is.
00:28:48Jacques owns Jacques Patisserie.
00:28:49They specialize in...
00:28:50They're French pastries.
00:28:51But this is a panaderia.
00:28:53So, it's a Mexican bakery.
00:28:54No, I know.
00:28:55But...
00:28:56Bakery is a bakery, right?
00:28:58No.
00:28:59Not really.
00:29:00Well, in the sense that all the equipment's already in place.
00:29:03Yes.
00:29:04Absolutely.
00:29:05Can you excuse us for a second?
00:29:07Of course.
00:29:15What are you doing?
00:29:16We can't sell that guy.
00:29:17Why?
00:29:18He's too pretty.
00:29:20That's ridiculous.
00:29:21I'm telling you, Maya, I got a vibe.
00:29:24Because he's gorgeous?
00:29:26Oh, so you think he's gorgeous?
00:29:28You just said he's too pretty.
00:29:29Yeah, it's different when I say it.
00:29:30It's irrelevant either way.
00:29:31Look, I happen to know he has exceptional credit
00:29:33and he's looking to get into a place ASAP
00:29:35because his old landlord upped his rent.
00:29:36What, you memorize his files?
00:29:37I am doing my job, Alex.
00:29:39Don't scare this one off.
00:29:41I haven't scared anyone off.
00:29:43Need I remind you about Gilbert Drysdale?
00:29:45That guy wanted to turn this place into a fondue restaurant, Maya.
00:29:48Fondue.
00:29:49Behave.
00:29:54Yeah, come on.
00:29:55Okay, I'm coming.
00:30:04The Christmas games.
00:30:06That is this weekend.
00:30:08Yeah, Panaderia Castillas is sponsoring a booth.
00:30:10I mean, my mom loves that sort of thing.
00:30:12My mom's actually organizing the event.
00:30:14She worked for an event company for years
00:30:16and she recently started her own.
00:30:18I didn't know she was on her own.
00:30:20Yeah.
00:30:21And the more attendees the better,
00:30:22so please feel free to bring your mom this weekend.
00:30:24That's a great idea.
00:30:26Will you be there?
00:30:27I will.
00:30:33I'll actually be there too.
00:30:34The Panaderia is making the gingerbread for the obstacle course.
00:30:37Is it a gingerbread obstacle course?
00:30:39Okay, now I have to bring my mom.
00:30:41Great.
00:30:42Well, listen, since I'm going to be here this weekend now,
00:30:44is it okay if we do the full tour then?
00:30:46That way mom can come with me.
00:30:48I really value her opinion.
00:30:50That's lovely.
00:30:51Yeah, of course.
00:30:53Can I keep this?
00:30:54Yeah.
00:30:55See you then.
00:30:56Bye.
00:31:05It's Jean-Pierre all over again.
00:31:06Who?
00:31:07Jean-Pierre, the fake French boyfriend that Maya conjured up in high school.
00:31:10I thought that guy was real.
00:31:12Yeah, he was real.
00:31:13She just wasn't dating him.
00:31:14Anyway, that's not the point.
00:31:16What's the point?
00:31:17Jacques.
00:31:18He's Jean-Pierre.
00:31:19The perfect guy that swoops in and steals Maya's attention.
00:31:21I thought you said that she faked him.
00:31:23She faked dating him, but I didn't know until it was too late in the game.
00:31:26You don't even know if this Jacques guy wants to date Maya.
00:31:28It's the timing.
00:31:29Maya and I see each other again after all these years,
00:31:31and who comes into the picture?
00:31:33The perfect French guy.
00:31:34He's French.
00:31:35I don't know what his bakery is.
00:31:38Look, this is exhausting.
00:31:41Just ask Maya out.
00:31:43No, I can't.
00:31:44Why not?
00:31:45You just don't live here.
00:31:47And I'd probably just mess it up anyway.
00:31:50My last two girlfriends both basically said I put work first and them here.
00:31:54Okay, well maybe you need to date someone that makes you want to take that to here.
00:31:58Dr. Lewis?
00:31:59Brooke.
00:32:00Hey.
00:32:01Hey.
00:32:02Please just call me Ian.
00:32:03It makes me feel so old.
00:32:04You can call me Dr. Lewis.
00:32:05Oh, well, you're definitely not that.
00:32:07Thanks.
00:32:08Oh, Brooke Sherman.
00:32:09I want you to meet my old pal, Alex Casillas.
00:32:11Alex Casillas.
00:32:12I've heard about you from an article I'm writing about the sale of your uncle's bakery.
00:32:26Yeah, I was actually just getting a look around at the layout for the games.
00:32:30Yeah, what do you think?
00:32:31Looks great.
00:32:32Okay, well, uh, bye Alex.
00:32:33Nice to meet you.
00:32:34Dr. Ian.
00:32:35See you, bro.
00:32:36See you.
00:32:37You can ask her out.
00:32:38What makes you think?
00:32:39Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:32:40Because you clearly already put her here.
00:32:41Okay.
00:32:42And Alex is coming up with the most ridiculous reasons to shut down potential buyers.
00:32:49It's like he's doing it on purpose.
00:32:50Maybe he is.
00:32:51Not consciously, but big change can be scary.
00:32:54I suppose he's going to be a good idea.
00:32:56You can ask her out.
00:32:57What makes you think?
00:32:58Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:32:59Because you clearly already put her here.
00:33:00Okay.
00:33:01And Alex is coming up with the most ridiculous reasons to shut down potential buyers.
00:33:04It's like he's doing it on purpose.
00:33:06Maybe he is.
00:33:07Not consciously, but big change can be scary.
00:33:11I speak from experience.
00:33:13And the bakery means a lot to more than just Luis.
00:33:17Alex spent a lot of time growing up there at the bakery, even before he lost his parents.
00:33:23That's so reasonable.
00:33:28Hey.
00:33:29Hi.
00:33:30What's for dinner?
00:33:31Whatever you two decide to order in.
00:33:33Your father's getting some last-minute supplies, and I need to pick up some gingerbread houses from the Casillas later.
00:33:39You're working so hard, Mom.
00:33:40Oh, yes.
00:33:41But this time it's for myself, so it makes it so much easier.
00:33:51Okay.
00:33:52We have two big events coming up.
00:33:54The Christmas games on Saturday, where we make the gingerbread houses, and las posadas.
00:33:59Posadas.
00:34:00Posadas means inn.
00:34:01It's a procession that sort of reenacts the journey Joseph and Mary took when they were looking for shelter the night Jesus was born.
00:34:10A group of pilgrims goes door to door singing songs and asking for a place to rest.
00:34:14But they're denied.
00:34:15Until the last place lets them in.
00:34:17And that's when the party starts.
00:34:19Cool.
00:34:20Sacred Heart chose the panaderia to host the Christmas Eve party this year, and we're gonna give them a real good one.
00:34:27Tio, this is a lot to do.
00:34:29Luckily I'm retiring when this is over.
00:34:31Hi, Alex.
00:34:32Can you help me with the boxes?
00:34:33Yeah.
00:34:34Are you gonna participate in the games?
00:34:37The bakery has a booth.
00:34:38You're not gonna hang out at the booth the whole time, are you?
00:34:40You have to participate.
00:34:41Wait, are you gonna participate?
00:34:42Yeah.
00:34:43I came third in the obstacle course last year.
00:34:44Oh, I'm sorry about that.
00:34:45You think you can do better?
00:34:46Uh, yeah, hello.
00:34:47We make all the gingerbread houses, so...
00:34:48Okay, but have you actually done the obstacle course?
00:34:49No, I mean, not since I was a kid, but...
00:34:50Then I'm gonna sign you up, Mr. Casillas.
00:34:51And you are going down.
00:35:11OK, I'm happy to make one!
00:35:13Kang, this one for you.
00:35:14K-Soda Linda and David wah.
00:35:15Yes.
00:35:16Thank you, Anya.
00:35:17Other car Jason has challenged me.
00:35:18Ask sicher to raise your fund, it's going down to the ritual day.
00:35:24And the spare way it turns me so I can go for it.
00:35:30Jesus is the bitch.
00:35:32It took me ضiro, ho polo polo te plus, sunny.
00:35:35And we're going to go with it.
00:35:38I'm sorry, ob de go, but..
00:35:39Sous-titrage Société Radio-Canada
00:36:09...and mom and dad have been burning the candle at both ends getting ready for the Christmas games.
00:36:13I'll make some more.
00:36:15I'll even throw in a special gingerbread cookie.
00:36:17You can tell your mom my uncle made it in case she wants to make a wish.
00:36:21I still don't know why you chose the legal route.
00:36:23Instead of becoming a chef or a baker, you're a natural.
00:36:27Yeah, well, that's...
00:36:29It's not so easy for first and second generation immigrants.
00:36:32We become doctors or lawyers or engineers.
00:36:35Not bakers.
00:36:36No. That's, uh, beans to an end. Not an end.
00:36:40So do you have a new client?
00:36:42Hm?
00:36:43Oh, no. I am studying for my second interview.
00:36:47So you're gonna stay around Denver?
00:36:49I am. I like it here.
00:36:51This could lead to a lot of possibilities.
00:36:54But you keep saying you work all the time here.
00:36:56I do, but that's freelance.
00:36:58This would be like where you work. Or Devin.
00:37:02Devin's your ex?
00:37:05Yeah, he is.
00:37:07We met at law school.
00:37:09We talked about working together, having a small office where we could focus on work-life balance.
00:37:15That didn't work out?
00:37:17Devin got recruited by one of the biggest firms in L.A.
00:37:20And he just couldn't say no.
00:37:23It was only supposed to be for a couple years until he got established, then he quit.
00:37:27Guessing that didn't happen?
00:37:30No.
00:37:31Instead, uh, his career took off.
00:37:34And he told me that mine should take a back seat because his was more important.
00:37:38Oh.
00:37:39After we separated, I joined a mid-level firm for a while, but I wasn't in the right headspace.
00:37:46So you moved back here?
00:37:50Alex, what if I can't do it?
00:37:52What if I don't fit in at a big firm?
00:37:54Hey.
00:37:56Maya Owens I know can fit in wherever she chooses.
00:38:01Big firms have their pluses and minuses, trust me.
00:38:04But that's where you truly want to be.
00:38:08You'll get it.
00:38:10I think it is.
00:38:12No.
00:38:13No, it is.
00:38:15One of the reasons I liked this firm so much is in the first interview, they put such an emphasis on life balance.
00:38:22Wow.
00:38:23That's rare.
00:38:24I know.
00:38:27Well, if you want, I can help you study.
00:38:30Really?
00:38:32That would be so helpful.
00:38:33Thank you.
00:38:36Okay, then.
00:38:37Let's talk about Denver's soon-to-be luckiest law firm.
00:38:41What do you got?
00:38:49Mrs. Owens, here's hoping the Christmas games are smooth sailing. Casillas Panaderie.
00:38:55Oh.
00:38:58You think Louise made it?
00:39:00No, he would call me Vanessa.
00:39:02I bet Alex did.
00:39:04How thoughtful.
00:39:07You're going to make the wish, aren't you?
00:39:09Yes, and don't judge.
00:39:11Never.
00:39:12Cheers.
00:39:13Cheers.
00:39:14Mmm, mm-hmm.
00:39:15Ready now?
00:39:17Mmm-hmm.
00:39:18Let's do this.
00:39:19Mmm.
00:39:20Is this good?
00:39:21Oh, yes.
00:39:22Thank you.
00:39:23Ladies and gentlemen, gingerbread obstacle course run is about to begin.
00:39:35Participants should start heading over to the start line in the next half hour.
00:39:39Thank you.
00:39:43So tell me more about the Christmas magic and the gingerbread wishes.
00:39:47Well, the lore of the magic started when my parents came to Denver
00:39:51and me papa built Panaderia Casillas
00:39:54as a Christmas gift for my mom.
00:39:57Now my mother, she put all of her heart into everything
00:40:00and she loved Christmas and baking
00:40:02and her favorite was their version of gingerbread cookies.
00:40:06So each Christmas, she would bake for each of her loved ones
00:40:10a gingerbread cookie made specially for them.
00:40:12A special how?
00:40:14She would shape them into a form that would remind her of them.
00:40:18Like I remember one year, she begged for his dad a pair of red gloves
00:40:24and the week after, he met his mom.
00:40:27She dropped a red glove.
00:40:29That's right.
00:40:30So over time, the gingerbread cookies were being made
00:40:33not just for the inner circle of the family
00:40:35but for good friends and special customers too.
00:40:39What do you think the magic is?
00:40:41My mom used to think it was love.
00:40:43Not just a romantic kind, although I believe that's what says the spark of.
00:40:47But love for family, friends, neighbors,
00:40:50and wanting to bring more kindness to the world.
00:40:53The world can always use more kindness.
00:40:55This is perfect. Thank you, Luis.
00:40:58Thank you. Pleasure.
00:41:00Here, I made you both something.
00:41:02Wait, aren't you a lawyer?
00:41:05Baking kind of runs in the family.
00:41:07Tio Luis gave me an apron cookie on my 16th birthday.
00:41:10Then I gave him a real one and put him to work.
00:41:12Oh, sweet. Where's the camera?
00:41:14Yeah, because the photos you took of the panaderia were great, Sid.
00:41:18Really?
00:41:19Really. Several of the buyers have already asked about them.
00:41:22Well, maybe something will come of it.
00:41:24Is this Colonel Ginger Fluff?
00:41:26It is. Ian mentioned him.
00:41:28He did?
00:41:29Yeah.
00:41:30Aw, thank you.
00:41:33I'm gonna go take a look around.
00:41:35Can I get a few shots of you over here?
00:41:37Of course.
00:41:41I didn't know that story about your family.
00:41:43But if her casillas gingerbread cookie, I might not be here.
00:41:46Do you think any of it's real? The wishing?
00:41:48I don't know.
00:41:49I think the important part is that people did.
00:41:53Seems to me the wishing for something is a way to figure out what your heart wants.
00:42:04Jacques! You made it!
00:42:06You made it!
00:42:07No way I'd miss this. What a great event.
00:42:09Your mom must be thrilled.
00:42:10She is.
00:42:11Where is your mom?
00:42:13She's somewhere.
00:42:15This guy needs a warm-up before I beat him.
00:42:17Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:42:18Keep it up, Owens.
00:42:19You can make gingerbread houses in my sleep.
00:42:21You guys are so cute.
00:42:23How long have you been together?
00:42:24Oh, no.
00:42:25We're not together at all.
00:42:27Why'd you say it like that?
00:42:28Because we're not together.
00:42:30Well, I'd love to give this thing a go.
00:42:31Is registration for the obstacle course closed?
00:42:33No.
00:42:34Yes.
00:42:36I'm sure we can get you in.
00:42:38Go on.
00:42:39Go on!
00:42:40And you'll be in.
00:42:41Go on.
00:42:42Go on.
00:42:43Go on.
00:42:44Go on.
00:42:45Sous-titrage Société Radio-Canada
00:43:15First group. Oh, and a reminder. Our contestants can only hold the cookie sheet with one hand. And if a house hits the ground, it is disqualified. And remember, when the bell rings, you must leave the table and move to the next event. Are we ready? First group. First pair. On your marks. Ready to come in second, Owens? In your dreams, because he is. Get ready. Get set. Go!
00:43:44Go, Owens! Second pair. Go!
00:43:51Owens takes the lead up the slot. Supposedly followed by Alex Casillas.
00:43:56Closing in from the second group is Doc Huber. Followed by a fourth contestant who is lagging behind.
00:44:04Oh, no, no!
00:44:06They'll have five seconds at the icing station to determine who has the physical dexterity to lay down a smooth line of icing.
00:44:14They must decorate their gingerbread houses before the bell or risk disqualification.
00:44:19There they are. Maya and Alex are tied to the lead but are now being challenged by Jacques, who managed to close the gap at the icing station.
00:44:31He's now pushing to challenge them before the lead.
00:44:35At the second station, they must carefully place decorations on the icing.
00:44:40It requires tremendous patience and skill.
00:44:43Jacques has now caught up with the first group.
00:44:45But who will lead after the bell?
00:44:53It's Maya Owens who pulls ahead.
00:44:56But it's quickly turning into a three-way challenge at the finish line.
00:45:03It's all up to the elves now to spin them.
00:45:05Five times a round is the rule.
00:45:07Who can make it to the finish line after spinning in circles?
00:45:10Oh, it looks like Maya and Alex have taken a stumble.
00:45:15Uh, is this becoming our thing?
00:45:17Oh, I sure hope not.
00:45:19You both okay?
00:45:20Only our pride is injured.
00:45:22Let's finish this thing.
00:45:23If their house is hitting the ground, I'm afraid they will be disqualified.
00:45:27It will be Jacques Hubert who will cross the finish line first.
00:45:32You two all right?
00:45:33That was quite a fall.
00:45:34Yeah, we're fine, too.
00:45:35Well done, Jacques.
00:45:38My son always shines.
00:45:40Everyone, this is my mom, Marilyn Hubert.
00:45:42Mom, this is Maya, Alex, and I'm guessing Luis Casillas?
00:45:46That's right.
00:45:48Luis, this is Jacques Hubert.
00:45:50The buyer.
00:45:51Mm-hmm.
00:45:51Prospective buyer.
00:45:53Alex is right.
00:45:54We haven't had the full tour yet.
00:45:55How about right now?
00:45:57That works for me.
00:45:58Perfect.
00:45:59Alex, you don't have to come.
00:46:01No, it's fine.
00:46:02I'll drive.
00:46:02This is even more beautiful in person.
00:46:07And the photos were impressive.
00:46:09All of this patinaed wood gives it a warm, inviting feel.
00:46:13Thank you.
00:46:14We keep a building long enough.
00:46:16It's bound to be back in style at some point.
00:46:18Luis, why don't you show them the outdoor seating?
00:46:20I'm going to speak with Alex in the kitchen.
00:46:22Of course.
00:46:22This way, please.
00:46:23I know, I know, and I'm supposed to be all peppy and help convince them.
00:46:32But it's hard for you.
00:46:34Yeah.
00:46:36Way more than I anticipated.
00:46:38I think it'd be difficult to watch a piece of your childhood being sold.
00:46:43When I was in Los Angeles, I always found comfort in knowing I could come home whenever I wanted to.
00:46:48And then I did, and they can't get rid of me.
00:46:53Why didn't you just have a rinse someplace else?
00:46:55It was only supposed to be for six months, until I got on my feet after Devin.
00:47:00It's the same reason I didn't lease an office.
00:47:03You just used a bakery instead.
00:47:06Six months has a sneaky way of turning into two years.
00:47:09Very true.
00:47:16Though I have a feeling you're going to be making a very big change soon.
00:47:21I'd have to rock that interview with Curtis and Lincoln.
00:47:24You didn't.
00:47:25Didn't what?
00:47:26You did.
00:47:28No, hey, hey, I just did a little bit.
00:47:30You shouldn't have done any.
00:47:32Hey, okay, this is exactly how it started when Thea Julie got mad at us.
00:47:36As I recall, you actually just threw a cup of flour on me for no reason.
00:47:39Oh, no, there was definitely a reason.
00:47:41And what reason was that?
00:47:43I didn't see that expression on your face.
00:47:45No, no, no, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:47:47Hey, the cognato is over.
00:47:51Coming.
00:47:57Do I have any on my face?
00:47:58The financials go back 20 years.
00:48:06They show steady fronts, and you'll see that the panaderia is quite a profitable business.
00:48:11There's one thing that I wanted to ask.
00:48:13The photos you used to list the panaderia were beautiful,
00:48:16especially the black and white one of the hands rolling the dough.
00:48:19I love that one, too.
00:48:21Now, Jacques says the photographer is your sister?
00:48:23Yes, Sydney.
00:48:23She has talent.
00:48:25It's still raw, but listen, I curate a small photo gallery in Denver,
00:48:30and we are always on the lookout for new artists.
00:48:32Do you think that might be something your sister would be interested in?
00:48:34Definitely.
00:48:35She's always wanted to pursue photography as art, but it's a hard way to pay the bills.
00:48:39I understand.
00:48:40Oh, and I'd like to buy a print of the hands if she's interested in selling.
00:48:44I feel very confident that's a yes.
00:48:47I'll actually be in downtown Denver on Thursday.
00:48:49I could bring it by.
00:48:51What's in downtown?
00:48:51I have an interview, the law firm.
00:48:54Which she's going to ace.
00:48:55Oh, unfortunately, Maya, I'll be out of town on Thursday.
00:48:59But I'll be around.
00:49:00You could swing by my bakery and leave it with me.
00:49:03And that way I can give you the tour.
00:49:04Great.
00:49:05Great.
00:49:07Great.
00:49:08We'll be in touch.
00:49:10Thank you.
00:49:21Seriously?
00:49:23Yes.
00:49:24Again, seriously.
00:49:25You just have to get me the print by this afternoon.
00:49:27Done.
00:49:29Thank you.
00:49:30Extra blueberries.
00:49:31Yours is next.
00:49:32Okay.
00:49:33Did you tell them the good news yet?
00:49:36Because everything went so well at the Christmas games, I actually have five new events to plan.
00:49:40Nice!
00:49:41Hey, Mom!
00:49:41Including the Posada at the Casillas Panadermia.
00:49:44Really?
00:49:45Yeah.
00:49:45Christmas Eve is in a week.
00:49:46Yeah, well, Louis said that he didn't want anything too fancy.
00:49:50He wanted to keep it pretty simple.
00:49:51She says now.
00:49:53In fact, I already gave my associates the time off for the holidays.
00:49:58So I was thinking to ask you girls if you might...
00:50:01Well, totally.
00:50:02Oh, thank you.
00:50:04Mom, I'm so proud of you.
00:50:06Me too.
00:50:06Oh, thank you.
00:50:09Oh.
00:50:09Owen family are.
00:50:10Oh, yeah.
00:50:16Dash!
00:50:36Sous-titrage Société Radio-Canada
00:51:06...and my gingerbread wish. Of course.
00:51:08What?
00:51:09This is what I wished for when Alex gave me that cookie shaped like a camera.
00:51:13And then, like, an hour later, you meet Jake's mom and voila! Maybe you should make a wish.
00:51:20Funny, I did, actually.
00:51:22Luis made me a cookie shaped like my red briefcase a couple weeks ago.
00:51:26And? What'd you wish for?
00:51:29For my life to get back on track.
00:51:31Mmm. Is it working?
00:51:33I don't know. I did get a second interview.
00:51:36And a date with super cute Jacques.
00:51:39Not a date. I'm just dropping off your print.
00:51:42Mm-hmm. At his French bakery. After hours.
00:51:46And he'll probably ask if you want to get dinner once you're there.
00:51:49Because it's a date.
00:51:51Which you, big sister, totally deserve after everything that happened with Devin.
00:51:56And I'm sorry if I've been sort of bratty towards you lately. It's just...
00:52:01The idea of you moving out makes me sad.
00:52:05Sad? Why?
00:52:07Because I'll miss you, silly.
00:52:10Like, I missed you when you went to college in L.A. and didn't come back.
00:52:14Until two years ago.
00:52:15Which was fun.
00:52:17I've liked having my big sister here again.
00:52:19I really like being here with you too.
00:52:21Really?
00:52:22Yes! Oh my gosh. Of course.
00:52:24If I get this job, it's only an hour away.
00:52:27It's a commute.
00:52:28The garage is a shorter commute.
00:52:30You sound like dad.
00:52:31Oh.
00:52:35I don't think I've been in your uncle's house since before college.
00:52:38Yeah, it hasn't changed much.
00:52:40Hey, so Brooke and I are going ice skating this weekend.
00:52:42Maya's gonna come too. You should join.
00:52:44Oh, I don't know.
00:52:45Come on. Why not?
00:52:47Because she is meeting up with Jake or Jacques or whatever his name is tomorrow after her interview.
00:52:52Hmm. And you're jealous.
00:52:54I mean, I have no right to be.
00:52:56Okay, what advice did you give me about Brooke? Ask her out.
00:53:00Yeah, I know. I know. It's just...
00:53:02You two live in the same town. I live in New York.
00:53:04And Maya's staying in Denver and most likely on the verge of dating perfect Jacques.
00:53:09Okay, fun fact. None of those things has actually happened yet.
00:53:13You know what? It's none of my business.
00:53:15I need to just man up and not stand in the way of the sale of the bakery or anything else.
00:53:24What are you making there?
00:53:25It is a peace offering gingerbread cookie for Jacques.
00:53:30Show him I can rise above.
00:53:33You may be being a little aggressive with the dough there, buddy.
00:53:36I mean, for a peace offering.
00:53:41Yeah. You might be right.
00:53:45It needs to be a peace offering.
00:53:48It smells really nice.
00:53:49Very nice.
00:53:50Come in.
00:53:51Alex, hey.
00:53:52Hey.
00:53:53So, I made way too much tortilla soup. I thought I'd stop by and see if you wanted something.
00:54:14Yeah, come in. You're a mind reader. I was just going through my ever-growing collection of takeaway menus. Thank you.
00:54:29Wow, this is, this is nice.
00:54:34What were you expecting?
00:54:36I don't know. Just every time you said garage apartment, I just sort of imagined a bed wedged up next to a pool table or something.
00:54:44Oh, no, no, no. It's just for you. I already ate. I ate way too much.
00:54:48Oh.
00:54:49I also came by because there is a box in the bag, too. It's a gingerbread cookie for Jacques.
00:55:01Jacques?
00:55:02Yeah, it took me four tries, but I thought I'd make the story about the wishes seem more real. Sweet and a deal. Pun intended.
00:55:10Figured maybe you can give it to him tomorrow when you see him.
00:55:13That's very thoughtful.
00:55:15Well, I do have my moments.
00:55:17More than moments. I mean, you can be a pretty caring nephew and a great study partner. And a good friend.
00:55:31Friend, I need to let you get back to studying.
00:55:34Wish me luck.
00:55:36I mean, I don't think you really need it, but I swear to them, Maya.
00:55:43Night.
00:55:44Night.
00:55:45Sorry, Miss Owens. The partners will be in here in a few minutes.
00:56:00Thank you.
00:56:02It's so great you found the time to stop by.
00:56:09I forgot. I have something for you.
00:56:11What is it?
00:56:12Famous Casillas gingerbread cookie.
00:56:14I have to admit, most people don't make cookies for me. It's a nice change of pace.
00:56:23Are you going to make a wish?
00:56:25Huh?
00:56:26Well, it's...
00:56:27Oh, right. Sure.
00:56:30I hope I get the bakery of my dreams.
00:56:37Interesting. You know, it's not as sweet as most gingerbread.
00:56:45Alex once told me there's more molasses and not as much ginger and cinnamon.
00:56:48Mmm. I can taste that.
00:56:52Would you like to have dinner with me before you head home?
00:56:55And you can tell me how your interview went.
00:56:57I'd love to hear about it.
00:56:59Sure. That sounds nice.
00:57:01There's this wonderful Italian restaurant just around the corner.
00:57:04I'll just change my shirt.
00:57:06Okay.
00:57:07Sounds like the interview went really well.
00:57:29Honestly, it was the best one I've ever had.
00:57:32The senior partners were great.
00:57:34We talked about creating a holistic environment and emphasized life balance.
00:57:38Excellent.
00:57:40And Jean?
00:57:41He was on board to buy the bakery.
00:57:43We wound up having a lovely dinner.
00:57:45Oh, all good news.
00:57:47It is, isn't it?
00:57:49Everything is falling into place so easily.
00:57:53Yeah, I feel like you should be happier about that.
00:57:57Oh, I know.
00:57:59What is wrong with you, Brooke?
00:58:02I mean, suddenly after two years of basically treading water here, my career jump starts.
00:58:08This insanely gorgeous guy wants to buy the bakery I'm working to sell.
00:58:12Oh, and by the way, he wants to date me.
00:58:14I mean, it's everything I should want.
00:58:19Uh, Alex?
00:58:21It's not part of the equation. He can't be.
00:58:23No, I mean...
00:58:27Oh, hi.
00:58:28Hey.
00:58:29Hi.
00:58:30Hi.
00:58:32Shock like the cookie you made him.
00:58:34Did he make a wish?
00:58:35He did.
00:58:36Looks like it's coming true.
00:58:39I don't know what he wished for.
00:58:41Not a pretty good idea.
00:58:43I didn't know you were coming skating.
00:58:48Yeah.
00:58:49He invited me.
00:58:51Hope that's okay.
00:58:52Of course.
00:58:53It's not Christmas without ice skating.
00:58:56Pretty sure it would be.
00:58:58Yeah, okay.
00:58:59Whatever.
00:59:02When do you go back to New York?
00:59:04Couple days after Christmas.
00:59:06Pretty sure my sales consultation services aren't needed anymore.
00:59:10Brilliant as they may be.
00:59:11But they've been very much appreciated.
00:59:14Did Luis tell you he hired my mom to help with the Posada?
00:59:17He did.
00:59:18And I'm very grateful for that.
00:59:19Because the menu alone was going to take up all my time.
00:59:22Are you doing all the cooking?
00:59:24No, a deal, Luis, I hope some.
00:59:25But I want him to have enough free time to enjoy the experience, too.
00:59:28Plus, you love baking and cooking.
00:59:30Plus, I love baking and cooking.
00:59:33How did you wind up being an acquisitions attorney?
00:59:36The firm where I did my first internship had an emphasis on mergers and acquisitions law.
00:59:41And I just kind of liked how it touches on so many different areas.
00:59:46It helps keep me from getting bored.
00:59:48You don't get bored in the kitchen, do you?
00:59:50No.
00:59:51No, never.
00:59:52But I can't go down that path, Maya.
00:59:55My grandparents came here to give their sons a better life.
00:59:58My dad became a pilot.
01:00:00So Theo Luis had to be the one to take over the panaderia.
01:00:03So I've got to make him proud.
01:00:05I hear what you're saying, but I believe Luis would be proud if you were a baker.
01:00:12It's whatever makes you happy.
01:00:14It was too late for that.
01:00:15Boom.
01:00:16I caught it.
01:00:17I caught it.
01:00:18You got what?
01:00:19A scholarship to Oregon College.
01:00:20For hockey.
01:00:21A video of me at last week's game where I almost scored that double hat trick.
01:00:25It went viral and they saw it and they sent me an offer.
01:00:28Congratulations, Gabe.
01:00:29Way to go.
01:00:30That's great, buddy.
01:00:31It was my wish.
01:00:32I'm gonna have to write a follow-up article just about the Casillas Panaderia and the wish is coming true again.
01:00:47Yeah, though it won't be Casillas.
01:00:49Ah.
01:00:50Jacques will have a tough act to follow.
01:00:52Have you made a wish?
01:00:54You know what?
01:00:55Come to think of it, I have not.
01:00:57And I believe I'm a little offended.
01:01:00I think you're doing just fine, pal.
01:01:02That's true.
01:01:03I made a wish.
01:01:05What about you?
01:01:06Did you make wishes all the time?
01:01:08No.
01:01:09No.
01:01:10Mi abuelito always said that somebody else had to make the cookie for you.
01:01:13Did you ever make a wish?
01:01:16Once, on my 16th birthday.
01:01:18Oh, when Luis gave you the cookie like the apron.
01:01:21Yeah.
01:01:22What did you wish for?
01:01:25What any 16-year-old boy would wish for.
01:01:28The girl I liked would like me back.
01:01:31Did she?
01:01:33She did.
01:01:36But I didn't find out until it was too late.
01:01:39After she wrote me a letter.
01:01:47Maybe we should head inside now.
01:01:50Yeah.
01:01:51We'll catch you guys later.
01:01:52Yeah.
01:02:00You got the letter?
01:02:02I did.
01:02:03But only about a week before you got back from Paris.
01:02:08But I was in Paris for six months.
01:02:11How...
01:02:12You remember what T. Luis's office was like before we cleaned it up?
01:02:15Yes.
01:02:16It's burned into my retinas.
01:02:18Yeah.
01:02:19Well, my jacket got lost in there somehow.
01:02:22For, I don't know, about five months and three weeks?
01:02:29No.
01:02:30Oh, yeah.
01:02:31I was looking everywhere for that jacket.
01:02:33I mean, I love that jacket.
01:02:35And eventually I found it inside a box at the bottom of a stack of boxes.
01:02:41Do not ask me how it got there.
01:02:44And then I found your letter.
01:02:46I can't believe it.
01:02:47The point is I wasn't not responding to what you wrote.
01:02:56You weren't?
01:02:57No.
01:02:58I can't tell you how happy I was to read that.
01:03:03All of it.
01:03:04And I was gonna pour my heart out to you when you got back.
01:03:09But then I saw you and you just...
01:03:11And you kept going on and on and on.
01:03:14Jean-Pierre.
01:03:15So I figured you were over me.
01:03:19So I didn't say anything.
01:03:20And then I found out the truth.
01:03:22Thanks, Sydney.
01:03:23Yeah.
01:03:24But I couldn't say anything then either because I was about to go off to Columbia two hours
01:03:28later and then you were heading off to Los Angeles after that.
01:03:31So it just, it didn't make any sense.
01:03:34I get it.
01:03:39I mean, I might have just chickened out a little bit too.
01:03:43We were 18.
01:03:44Yeah.
01:03:45What did we know?
01:03:50You gonna get that?
01:03:51No.
01:04:01It's from Curtis and Lincoln.
01:04:07It's an offer letter.
01:04:10Wow.
01:04:12That's great.
01:04:15That's amazing.
01:04:17So proud of you, Maya.
01:04:21You really do have the worst timing.
01:04:25Yeah.
01:04:26You really do.
01:04:31I want to kiss you.
01:04:36I want to kiss you, too.
01:04:44But we're going in different directions.
01:04:54Yeah.
01:05:01We at Curtis and Lincoln are pleased to have you join our team.
01:05:04Thank you.
01:05:05I'm, I'm so, uh, yeah, I'm, I'm, um.
01:05:07At a loss for one, I'm so happy.
01:05:08Thank you so much.
01:05:09Thank you so much for having me join me.
01:05:10Thank you.
01:05:11Thank you, Hal.
01:05:12Thank you, Hal.
01:05:13Thank you, Hal.
01:05:14Thank you, Hal.
01:05:15Thank you.
01:05:16Thank you, Hal.
01:05:18Thank you, Hal.

01:22:49C'est Christmas.
01:22:50Je sais.
01:22:51C'est plus le temps de commencer.
