00:00:30Hey, you're doing great.
00:00:46Isn't this beautiful?
00:00:48Yep.
00:00:49Did you know that putting up Christmas decorations early creates a neurological shift in your brain that actually produces happiness?
00:00:55I did not know that.
00:00:56It's true.
00:00:57Can't you feel it?
00:00:58I can't feel anything.
00:00:59I'm frozen.
00:01:00Fine, Scrooge.
00:01:01I'm going to marry that later.
00:01:03Well, it is cold.
00:01:07It's not that cold.
00:01:08Merry Christmas.
00:01:12Thank you very much.
00:01:13Merry Christmas.
00:01:15Okay, now I do feel like Scrooge.
00:01:17Well, do you want to go over there and give Santa a dollar?
00:01:21Fine.
00:01:23Merry Christmas.
00:01:24Oh, thank you very much.
00:01:27Okay, that felt good.
00:01:29Oh, didn't I just deliver it?
00:01:40Yeah, me too.
00:01:41It's going to be the best.
00:01:42I know.
00:01:43I know.
00:01:43I know.
00:01:43I know.
00:01:43Oh, ho, ho, ho.
00:01:58Yo.
00:01:59It's still working.
00:02:01Yeah.
00:02:01Hey, that's a twist.
00:02:04Do you think the Santa's too warm and fuzzy?
00:02:08Never.
00:02:09That's why the client requested you.
00:02:10You are the king of the fuzzy people.
00:02:13The client requested me?
00:02:15Well, not really.
00:02:16But you're doing a great job.
00:02:17Come on.
00:02:18I need food.
00:02:19Whoa!
00:02:19Hey!
00:02:19What was that?
00:02:22I'm trying to distract Claude.
00:02:23He's obsessing over his masterpiece.
00:02:25Looks great.
00:02:26Save it to your phone.
00:02:28I managed to get on the guest list of the Lloyd Industries company Christmas party tonight.
00:02:32Can we go?
00:02:33Absolutely.
00:02:34I'm going to need your help to snag some face time with Leona Lloyd.
00:02:37Get her to let us pitch one of her accounts.
00:02:39Leona Lloyd.
00:02:40Global leader in prestige beauty.
00:02:43That's a switch from sports and fitness.
00:02:46Well, we need to diversify, especially after having lost that Habiboran account.
00:02:50That was only because everyone kept crashing into things.
00:02:52Yeah, that did happen.
00:02:54Yes.
00:02:56Come on.
00:03:03We wish you a Merry Christmas.
00:03:07We wish you a Merry Christmas.
00:03:09We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
00:03:18Glad tidings we bring to you and your...
00:03:22Hi, I'm Richard Carmichael.
00:03:25And Haley.
00:03:27Oh, of course.
00:03:29Enjoy.
00:03:29Oh, fabulous.
00:03:31Best office party at Winterstone.
00:03:33Should we grab a snack at the bar?
00:03:35Hey.
00:03:37You know what?
00:03:38I'm going to go check out my cocoa cart, but I will see you in a little bit.
00:03:42Okay.
00:03:44Oh, hey.
00:03:44Thank goodness.
00:03:46The machine was working, but something happened.
00:03:49Now people are lining up and we're almost out of peppermint sticks.
00:03:52Oh, Doris, you were doing a great job.
00:03:57Hooray!
00:03:58We got it.
00:03:58Why don't I take over from here and you'll get some more supplies.
00:04:02Oh, you're a doll.
00:04:03Okay.
00:04:04We got this.
00:04:05Don't you worry.
00:04:07Hi.
00:04:08Gentlemen, here you are.
00:04:10Blue Skies Advertising Agency.
00:04:12Blue Skies.
00:04:13Blue Skies.
00:04:17There I am.
00:04:18Donald.
00:04:19Yep.
00:04:19Indeed.
00:04:19Plus one.
00:04:20Oh, that's me.
00:04:21No, it's actually a plus two.
00:04:22We've had to bring along Cloud here at the last minute.
00:04:24And we couldn't leave him in the car.
00:04:25It's snowing outside.
00:04:26Okay, go on in.
00:04:29Thank you, Scott.
00:04:31Merry Christmas.
00:04:32Merry Christmas.
00:04:32Cheers.
00:04:35All right, lads.
00:04:37The mission is find Leo now.
00:04:40Let's spread out.
00:04:42What does she look like?
00:04:43I'm new.
00:04:44Yeah.
00:04:45Google her.
00:04:48What?
00:04:49Ah, that's great.
00:04:59I believe there's a power plug by the cocoa cart.
00:05:03Oh, thank you.
00:05:04Right this way.
00:05:16Would you like a hot cocoa?
00:05:18What?
00:05:19Would you like a hot cocoa, sir?
00:05:22Sorry.
00:05:23Uh, my phone died and this nice lady.
00:05:31Do you happen to know where I could find a charger?
00:05:33Uh, right there.
00:05:35Wonderful.
00:05:36Okay.
00:05:42Sure, you don't want a hot cocoa while you wait?
00:05:45Oh, that would be lovely.
00:05:47Do you have to go to elf training camp to learn that?
00:06:00Of course.
00:06:05And then there's just the final...
00:06:08There we go.
00:06:08Wow.
00:06:10Cheers.
00:06:11Mmm.
00:06:15That's brilliant.
00:06:18Mmm.
00:06:19You know, I haven't seen you around before.
00:06:21Oh, I work at Blue Skies Advertising.
00:06:23Ah, so you're an ad man.
00:06:25A production artist.
00:06:27I'm Claude.
00:06:29Hayley.
00:06:29Expecting a call?
00:06:35Actually, I'm looking for someone, but I have no idea what she looks like.
00:06:38Oh, so it's a blind office party date?
00:06:42Oh, no, no.
00:06:42It's not a date.
00:06:43I'm not here on a date or seeing anyone in particular at the moment, which means I'm totally single.
00:06:49Which is way more information than you just asked.
00:06:52How about you?
00:06:53Same status.
00:06:55So not dating anyone in particular?
00:06:58No, not at the moment.
00:07:03Ah, back to life.
00:07:10Well, Hayley.
00:07:13Claude.
00:07:15Thanks for the sugar shock.
00:07:18Anytime.
00:07:20I'll, uh, see you around.
00:07:22Yeah.
00:07:31It's really fabulous seeing you again.
00:07:34Well, enjoy.
00:07:38Ben?
00:07:41Ben?
00:07:44Hey!
00:07:46Beatrice!
00:07:50What a pleasure to see you.
00:07:51Yes, I could tell by your hasty retreat.
00:07:55What brings you into town?
00:07:57Uh, I live here now.
00:08:01You're living here?
00:08:02Since when?
00:08:04Almost a year ago.
00:08:06I got a job as an account exec at Blue Skies Ad Agency.
00:08:10Been here a whole year.
00:08:11Uh, that's interesting.
00:08:12Well, I kind of thought we might have bumped into each other before now, but apparently we don't hang out with the same places, so...
00:08:20Why would we?
00:08:21Why would we?
00:08:21We were never into the same things.
00:08:23Touché.
00:08:26Uh, are you working with Lloyd's?
00:08:29Hopefully soon.
00:08:31You?
00:08:32Well, I'm just here for the free food.
00:08:34Well, it was...
00:08:41Bizarre, running into you.
00:08:47Take care, Bea.
00:08:48You too.
00:08:49Hey, give me a hot chocolate.
00:09:03Okay, coming right up.
00:09:05Do you have any babies?
00:09:06Oh, I don't.
00:09:07Sorry.
00:09:08I found the Suero sticks.
00:09:10Oh, perfect.
00:09:11I am on my last one here.
00:09:13Is this going to be some big production?
00:09:16Because I really don't have that kind of time.
00:09:18Almost done.
00:09:19No, I hate peppermint.
00:09:21Oh.
00:09:22Okay, got it.
00:09:24No peppermint, and the Bailey's is over at the bar.
00:09:32You sure you're good?
00:09:33Oh, absolutely.
00:09:35You go and enjoy the party.
00:09:38Maybe you'll find that nice young man with the phone.
00:09:43Any luck?
00:09:50No.
00:09:52Don, bogey, 12 o'clock.
00:09:56Oh, the trip's just...
00:09:58All right, here we go.
00:09:59You ready?
00:09:59Yeah.
00:10:02Miss Lloyd?
00:10:03Yes?
00:10:04Wonderful party.
00:10:06Do we know each other?
00:10:08Don, blue skies?
00:10:10It doesn't sound familiar.
00:10:11We're a boutique agency.
00:10:13Very exclusive.
00:10:14Offering personalized, high-level marketing strategies.
00:10:17Well, it was lovely to meet you.
00:10:19And I'm Ben, Don's account executive.
00:10:22And Claude is our brilliant production artist.
00:10:25We're currently heading up an innovative Christmas campaign for a new sporting magnet.
00:10:30Which is?
00:10:30Shineball.
00:10:31It's a basketball that glows in the dark.
00:10:34Is it a national campaign?
00:10:37It's local, but plans are expanding soon.
00:10:40Claude, you want to show Miss Lloyd the layout?
00:10:42Yes, of course.
00:10:47I don't see anything.
00:10:50Ah, I'm having problems with my phone.
00:10:53Sorry.
00:10:53It's all right.
00:10:54We would love an opportunity to give you a proper pitch.
00:10:57We're seeing presentations on a new fragrance for the Beguiled Beauty campaign.
00:11:02But we always go with an established marketing team on that one, so it might not be worth your time.
00:11:07Or you could let us dazzle you with a fresh new perspective.
00:11:09You're an ambitious bunch.
00:11:14I like that.
00:11:16Why don't you give my assistant a call?
00:11:18See if she can squeeze you in.
00:11:20That would be fantastic.
00:11:21We won't disappoint.
00:11:23Walter.
00:11:24Leona.
00:11:25Merry Christmas.
00:11:26Merry Christmas.
00:11:27Have you had a chance to meet Niles?
00:11:29I don't believe I have.
00:11:31It's a pleasure.
00:11:32Niles is our rising star.
00:11:33Of course the big guns from elite marketing are here.
00:11:36There's always going to be competition boards.
00:11:39Let's head out.
00:11:39Mayday.
00:11:43Mayday.
00:11:44There's Beatrice.
00:11:45Act natural.
00:11:46Keep walking.
00:11:47What are you talking about?
00:11:48One sec.
00:11:48One sec.
00:11:49What's he doing?
00:11:50Does he not understand what a distress signal is?
00:11:52What a great night.
00:11:54I know.
00:11:54Hi.
00:11:55Hi.
00:11:56Hello.
00:11:57Sorry.
00:11:58Hi.
00:11:59So they gave the elves a break.
00:12:01They did.
00:12:03I was just on my way out and I realized that the chances are slim that our paths will cross
00:12:09again, but if you were to give me your number, it would increase considerably.
00:12:15I would love that.
00:12:17Great.
00:12:17Well, um, I'll have to write it down.
00:12:20My phone died again.
00:12:21Of course.
00:12:24There you go.
00:12:28Well, Hayley Logan, I will be calling you.
00:12:34Okay.
00:12:34He was cute.
00:12:41Yes, he is.
00:12:42What was that?
00:12:43I think I just read the love of my life.
00:12:47He is a production artist at Blue Skies.
00:12:50Blue Skies?
00:12:51So he works with Ben?
00:12:52Not the Ben you dated in London.
00:12:55Is he in Winterstone now?
00:12:57Yes.
00:12:58Regrettably.
00:12:59I just ran into him.
00:13:00I know you're secretly sorry that you broke up with him.
00:13:03Hayley, can you come here?
00:13:06See you in a second.
00:13:09And this is my daughter, Hayley.
00:13:12Of course.
00:13:13We met earlier over a cup of cocoa.
00:13:15It was delicious, by the way.
00:13:17No need for the babies.
00:13:19Happy to help.
00:13:20So, I didn't realise you were Leona's daughter.
00:13:24Really?
00:13:25I was just talking to your mother about our concept for her new fragrance line.
00:13:31I'd love to show it to you.
00:13:32Maybe...
00:13:33Oh!
00:13:33Oh!
00:13:33Oh!
00:13:33Oh!
00:13:33Oh!
00:13:34Oh!
00:13:34Oh!
00:13:34Oh!
00:13:34Oh!
00:13:34Oh!
00:13:34Oh!
00:13:34Oh!
00:13:34Oh!
00:13:35Oh!
00:13:35Oh!
00:13:35Oh!
00:13:36Oh!
00:13:36Oh!
00:13:36Oh!
00:13:36Oh!
00:13:37Oh!
00:13:37Oh!
00:13:38Oh!
00:13:38Oh!
00:13:39Oh!
00:13:39Oh!
00:13:40Oh!
00:13:40Oh!
00:13:41Oh!
00:13:41Oh!
00:13:42Oh!
00:13:42Oh!
00:13:43Oh!
00:13:43Oh!
00:13:44Oh!
00:13:44Oh!
00:13:45Oh!
00:13:45Oh!
00:13:46Oh!
00:13:46Oh!
00:13:47Oh!
00:13:47Oh!
00:13:48Oh!
00:13:53Delivery for my amazing volunteers.
00:13:55Oh!
00:13:56How sweet!
00:13:57Get it while it's hot.
00:13:58Oh!
00:14:00Oh my God, all right.
00:14:05Mm.
00:14:07Oh!
00:14:08Hey!
00:14:09Hi.
00:14:10What are you doing here?
00:14:11Oh, my closet was exploding, so...
00:14:13Time to let go.
00:14:14Here.
00:14:15I'll take it.
00:14:16Thank you so much for your donation. That is so thoughtful.
00:14:20Of course.
00:14:21Ooh, who bought donuts?
00:14:23What?
00:14:24You are a horrible influence. You do know that, don't you?
00:14:27Those are for the volunteers.
00:14:30Sorry. Too late.
00:14:36Good morning. This is Hayley.
00:14:38Oh, hi. It's, uh, it's Claude.
00:14:40We met at the Lloyd's Christmas party.
00:14:43Hi, Claude.
00:14:44The guy from the party?
00:14:45Go away. Go away.
00:14:47Uh, I see you've got your phone working.
00:14:49Uh, yeah. Yeah. Fully charged.
00:14:52So what are you doing on this beautiful winter's morning?
00:14:55Uh, working.
00:14:57But I was wondering if you would like to maybe later this evening?
00:15:05You mean tonight?
00:15:08Is that too soon?
00:15:10No, no, no. That's, uh, tonight's great.
00:15:12We could go to the tree lighting ceremony?
00:15:14Uh, I'd love that.
00:15:17Do you want to meet me at my work? It's the Hope Chest in Old Town?
00:15:21Yeah, yeah, sure. Um, it's around seven, all right?
00:15:24Yeah. Yeah, see you then.
00:15:26So it was him.
00:15:30Yes.
00:15:30And we're going on a date.
00:15:36Oh, sorry.
00:15:39A little sticky.
00:15:40Boys, big news.
00:15:50We're on the books this Friday for a meeting with Leona Lloyd!
00:15:55Are you kidding me? That's amazing!
00:15:56You guys rock!
00:15:58Oh, well, you're obviously talking about me because this guy is seriously technically challenged.
00:16:03I'm buying you a turbo phone charger for Christmas.
00:16:06Actually, that sounds pretty nice.
00:16:09So, dinner's on you then.
00:16:10Well, as always.
00:16:12Can't go. Got a date.
00:16:13All right, Knuckles. Knuckles.
00:16:15A date?
00:16:15We've done it, boys.
00:16:16Knuckles. Knuckles.
00:16:17Knuckles.
00:16:17Get them done, mate!
00:16:19Yes! Come on!
00:16:20The Lord's got a date!
00:16:21The Lord's got a date!
00:16:33Hey.
00:16:34Hey.
00:16:40I'm glad you called.
00:16:41Me too.
00:16:43Shall we?
00:16:44Yes.
00:16:44That's true.
00:16:51Do you like fish and chips?
00:16:53I love them.
00:16:59Oh, do you want to take that? I'll just order for us.
00:17:01Yeah, sure. I will go find us a seat.
00:17:05Okay.
00:17:06Hi, Mom.
00:17:08Hayley, I wanted to see where you were with the reminder invite.
00:17:11I was hoping to get the final this morning.
00:17:14Oh, um, I emailed it to you.
00:17:17Karen, can you find me Hayley's email about the Christmas Gala?
00:17:20Let me check.
00:17:21Um, did you need to approve it?
00:17:24If you're happy with it...
00:17:25Go ahead and send it out.
00:17:27Okay.
00:17:28All right. Love you. Bye.
00:17:30It's snowing.
00:17:45Pure magic.
00:17:47Send it to me.
00:17:49Done.
00:17:50Done.
00:17:51Here.
00:17:52I'll help you.
00:17:56Ah.
00:17:56Oh.
00:17:58Oops.
00:17:59We lost our bench.
00:18:00That's all right. I know a better spot.
00:18:02Oh.
00:18:02Come on. It's in the park.
00:18:03Great.
00:18:03Oh.
00:18:12This was a great idea.
00:18:14Yeah.
00:18:15I come here a lot to clear my head, find inspiration.
00:18:19Yeah, it's so magical.
00:18:21Finished.
00:18:22Yes, that was yummy.
00:18:26So tell me about the Hope Chest.
00:18:28Ah, I was volunteering at the food bank and there was a lot of families in need of help.
00:18:33So I reached out to the community about this idea for a charity thrift shop.
00:18:39And it sort of snowballed into the Hope Chest organization.
00:18:42So you started the whole thing?
00:18:44With a ton of support.
00:18:47And all the proceeds go to underserved families.
00:18:50Doesn't even feel like work.
00:18:52It just makes me so happy.
00:18:55That's amazing.
00:18:58How did you wind up moonlighting at the Lloyd's Christmas party?
00:19:01Um, I was just helping on a friend.
00:19:08You know, we should get going. The tree lighting ceremony is about to start.
00:19:11Oh, yes. Let's not miss it.
00:19:13Okay.
00:19:14Come on.
00:19:14Go, go, go, go, go.
00:19:20Five, four, three, two, one.
00:19:31Oh, Christmas tree, oh, Christmas tree.
00:19:44Thy leaves are so unchanging.
00:19:47The lovely green, the sun is near.
00:19:51When the clouds are red, it's gone near.
00:19:54Oh, Christmas tree, oh, Christmas tree.
00:19:59Thy leaves are so unchanging.
00:20:02Oh, Christmas tree.
00:20:13Christmas is finally here.
00:20:16My favorite time of year.
00:20:20Okay, I have a Christmas quiz for you.
00:20:21A quiz?
00:20:23Yes.
00:20:23Okay.
00:20:24But it can reveal secrets to your personality, so choose your answers carefully.
00:20:28Uh-oh, okay.
00:20:30Are you ready?
00:20:31Hit me.
00:20:32Favorite Christmas tree type?
00:20:34Spruce, white pine, Douglas fir, noble...
00:20:36Noble.
00:20:38Good choice.
00:20:39Good choice.
00:20:41That's an impressive tree list.
00:20:44I'm not done yet.
00:20:45Shape, full, tapered, large, small?
00:20:50Um, I have no preference.
00:20:51I love them all.
00:20:53But I do have a soft spot for the Charlie Brown Christmas tree.
00:20:57Well, that's just adorable.
00:21:00Okay, decorations.
00:21:02Minimalist, ostentatious, retro, traditional, hipster.
00:21:08You know what?
00:21:09I'm gonna have to go nostalgic.
00:21:12Interesting, interesting.
00:21:13All right.
00:21:15I think I've got you.
00:21:17Okay.
00:21:18You love all trees, that means you have a big heart.
00:21:21Noble fir, you are kind and honest.
00:21:25Nostalgic decorations, you treasure memories.
00:21:29And the Charlie Brown tree, you all see the best of people.
00:21:36What do you think?
00:21:38That is a very generous analogy.
00:21:40I have a sneaking suspicion it's all true.
00:21:48Thanks.
00:21:50Um, next question.
00:21:51How do you feel about karaoke?
00:21:53Oh, love it, but I can't sing now.
00:21:54Me neither.
00:21:55Let's go Saturday.
00:21:56Great.
00:21:57Oh, wait.
00:21:58Yeah, wait.
00:21:59I told Ben I'd hang out with him.
00:22:00Yeah, I made plans with Bea.
00:22:04Do you think they're over each other?
00:22:05I don't think so.
00:22:06Should we invite them?
00:22:07Definitely.
00:22:07I do.
00:22:08I do.
00:22:21Aha, there she is.
00:22:24Do I even need to ask how your date went?
00:22:27He's pretty great.
00:22:28I don't think I've ever heard you say that before.
00:22:31Claude is, he's just so different.
00:22:34But, but?
00:22:37I kind of let him believe I'm a normal person.
00:22:41You are a normal person?
00:22:43No, I mean, he doesn't know that I'm Lloyd.
00:22:46Oh.
00:22:47And I don't want him to know, at least not yet.
00:22:49Why not?
00:22:50Because it always changes things and I'm sick of guys doing flip-flops the minute they find out who my mom is.
00:22:57For instance, there was this ad exec named Niles at the Christmas party and he was being flat out rude.
00:23:03But the minute he found out who I was, he was instantly gripped with fascination.
00:23:07Gripped?
00:23:08Sounds painful.
00:23:09Stop it.
00:23:11Sorry, but it really doesn't seem like Claude is one of those guys.
00:23:14Do you really believe you care?
00:23:15No, and that's the point.
00:23:17I really like him.
00:23:19And now I have a chance to see how he really feels about me with anything else clouding his judgment.
00:23:23And I will tell him when the time is right.
00:23:28Promise.
00:23:29I promise.
00:23:31And he works at Blue Skies, so you can't say anything to Ben for now.
00:23:34I'm not speaking with Ben.
00:23:35Why would you think that?
00:23:37You were talking to him at the party.
00:23:38I thought it was by accident.
00:23:40I was blindsided by his cute new hair.
00:23:44Right, okay.
00:23:45You've obviously moved on and I'm sure he has too.
00:23:49Have you heard that Ben's moved on?
00:23:51Has he seen someone?
00:23:52Not that I'm aware of.
00:23:54Right, because I'm definitely over him.
00:23:57Okay, so you don't want to go to Christmas karaoke with us?
00:24:02Which witch us?
00:24:04Claude and Ben.
00:24:09Maybe.
00:24:09Fine.
00:24:17After you get set.
00:24:18Hey, I'll have a pumpkin spice latte, please.
00:24:25What do you want, Claude?
00:24:27Hey, Mr Happy.
00:24:29Do you want anything?
00:24:30Yeah, sorry, I'll have a cinnamon roll, please.
00:24:32Sure.
00:24:34Thanks.
00:24:37What?
00:24:38I'm getting an awfully jolly vibe off you today.
00:24:41Well, tis the season.
00:24:43Uh-huh.
00:24:44Or is it Hayley?
00:24:45Yes.
00:24:48Yeah, do you know that feeling when you meet someone and there's this instant synergy?
00:24:51It's like you finish each other's thoughts and you've only just met.
00:24:54I've never had that feeling.
00:24:56Don't want anyone in my head, thank you.
00:24:58Well, you don't know what you're missing.
00:24:59Oh, believe me, I do.
00:25:01You mean Beatrice?
00:25:02Yes.
00:25:03Yes.
00:25:03There you go.
00:25:04So she's got in your head then?
00:25:05Well, I just saw her at the party, so that was annoying because she looked beautiful.
00:25:12But she thinks she's so clever.
00:25:14Well, she is clever, which is why she drives me so crazy.
00:25:17Well, I'll be sure not to mention anything when your name comes up tomorrow.
00:25:21What's happening tomorrow?
00:25:23Oh, karaoke.
00:25:26Wait, I'm the king of karaoke.
00:25:29Really?
00:25:30What? You weren't going to invite me?
00:25:32Would you want to come?
00:25:33Yes, thank you.
00:25:35What is it? A normal karaoke? A Christmas karaoke?
00:25:37A Christmas, yeah.
00:25:38Christmas.
00:25:40Yeah, okay.
00:25:47Hey!
00:25:48Hey!
00:25:51How did it go with Ben?
00:25:52Mission accomplished.
00:25:53He's in too, so double date it is.
00:25:56Excellent, excellent.
00:25:57Who's on your Christmas list?
00:25:59Um, my mom and my little brother.
00:26:02Dad's gift's already done.
00:26:03Oh, what'd you get him?
00:26:05This awesome brisket and meat trimmer.
00:26:07What?
00:26:08Yeah, he's going to love it.
00:26:09He's Keswick's barbecue superhero.
00:26:11Keswick?
00:26:13Is that where you're from?
00:26:14Yeah.
00:26:15Actually, I usually go home for the holidays, but my company's got a big pitch meeting,
00:26:19so I'm staying in town this year.
00:26:21Oh, uh, who's it for?
00:26:23Uh, Lloyd Industries.
00:26:26Oh.
00:26:29Wow, that sounds like it's a big opportunity.
00:26:33Yeah, it is.
00:26:34The blue skies has had a bit of a rough go of things lately.
00:26:37It's future affects us all, so I want to be there for my boss.
00:26:41It took a chance on me.
00:26:42Mm.
00:26:43Mm.
00:26:45Mm, that's lovely.
00:26:47It's beautiful.
00:26:50What about you?
00:26:50Are you spending Christmas with your family?
00:26:52Uh, it's just me and my mom.
00:26:54My parents divorced when I was young, and my dad wasn't really in the picture, so she's basically
00:27:01raised me on her own.
00:27:02All right.
00:27:03So, uh, you grew up in the States?
00:27:07Yeah, Chicago.
00:27:08Ah, that explains the American accent.
00:27:10Yes, but my mother is from Winterstone.
00:27:15When I was 12, my grandfather passed away, and he left her his house, and it was such horrible
00:27:20shape, and we didn't have the money to fix it up, but it was all that was left of my mom's family.
00:27:25My mom wanted to keep it, so we moved back here, and she's worked really hard to provide life for us.
00:27:35Nice.
00:27:39Thanks.
00:27:40What happened to the house?
00:27:41Oh, she whipped that thing into shape.
00:27:43I mean, when my mom puts her mind to something, she gets it done.
00:27:47Right.
00:27:47I would love to meet her sometime.
00:27:54Sure.
00:27:56I'll take that.
00:27:56He's too loud for your brother.
00:27:58Oh, nothing's too much for him.
00:27:59It's done.
00:28:04Thank you very much.
00:28:10So, what do you want for Christmas?
00:28:14Only Santa knows.
00:28:17Well, should we ask him?
00:28:19He's all right.
00:28:20No, we should not.
00:28:31Hey, you ready for karaoke?
00:28:34Tell the truth.
00:28:36This outfit.
00:28:36I was going for a cushy cash.
00:28:39But I look like a potato.
00:28:41No.
00:28:41You look, um, this is a disaster.
00:28:47I know it's not a date, but look, you couldn't look bad if you possibly tried.
00:28:51But if you're not feeling this, this is easily fixed.
00:28:53How?
00:28:54I own a store.
00:28:56And you have my pants.
00:28:58And I have a cute sweater to go with it.
00:29:05Okay.
00:29:05Tell me what you think.
00:29:06Unconstructed blazer.
00:29:08Cool, contemporary, or is that trying too hard?
00:29:11Maybe this sweater?
00:29:12Spontaneous.
00:29:13Fun.
00:29:13I thought you didn't care about Beatrice.
00:29:16I don't.
00:29:17What are you wearing?
00:29:19This?
00:29:19Can't prove on perfection.
00:29:21I'm going to go with the sweater.
00:29:23Hides more of my body flaws.
00:29:24Nice.
00:29:25You're excited for the double date then?
00:29:26No.
00:29:27It is absolutely not a date.
00:29:29We are going solely to crush Christmas karaoke.
00:29:32With Hayley.
00:29:33And Beatrice.
00:29:45What time is it?
00:29:47Two minutes is this the last time you asked?
00:29:50Should I root them to make us wait?
00:29:52We're early.
00:29:52Would you just relax?
00:29:56I should sit on your side.
00:29:57If you just sit.
00:29:59Sit down.
00:30:01There they are.
00:30:03Hey.
00:30:03Hi.
00:30:07Hey.
00:30:08Hey.
00:30:08Take your coats.
00:30:10Good to see you.
00:30:11Uh, what are you?
00:30:13I just thought guys on one side, girls on the other.
00:30:15I love it.
00:30:16Just stay away.
00:30:16It's all right.
00:30:17I'll give you that.
00:30:18Take that smile.
00:30:19Oh, thank you so much.
00:30:20That's for you.
00:30:22Okay.
00:30:25You look beautiful.
00:30:26So that was random.
00:30:37Bumping into you both at the Lloyd's Christmas party.
00:30:40Yep.
00:30:41Wildly random.
00:30:42So, uh, who do you know over at Lloyd's?
00:30:45I was just tagging along with Hayley to the party.
00:30:49Yeah, um, and I, uh, just know.
00:30:52Uh, hey, are you guys hungry or starving?
00:30:54What can I get you?
00:30:54Uh, burgers.
00:30:57Four burgers.
00:30:58Oh, may I please have a salad instead of fries?
00:31:01Absolutely.
00:31:02Since when do you eat salad?
00:31:04I've made peace with field greens.
00:31:05I like salad now.
00:31:07Okay, but you're not having half my fries.
00:31:09I don't want your fries.
00:31:12Don't have to starve yourself.
00:31:15You look great.
00:31:18Think so?
00:31:19Yes.
00:31:21Thanks.
00:31:21An extra order of fries, please.
00:31:24Of course.
00:31:33Well, guys, do you suppose that's our cue?
00:31:35Should we go next?
00:31:36A little bit intimidated.
00:31:37No, no, come on, come on.
00:31:38Let's do it.
00:31:39The strength in numbers.
00:31:40Let's carry okay.
00:31:43Dashing through the snow
00:31:45In a one-horse open sleigh
00:31:47O'er the fields we go
00:31:50Laughing all the way
00:31:52Oh, oh, oh, wouldn't go
00:31:55Oh, oh, oh, wouldn't go
00:31:59Up on the house stop
00:32:00Click, click, click
00:32:01Down through the chimney
00:32:03With good sake
00:32:04It came upon a midnight gleam
00:32:09Thy glorious song of all
00:32:13From angels bending near the earth
00:32:19To touch their harps of gold
00:32:24Peace on the earth
00:32:27Good will to men
00:32:30From heaven's all-gracious king
00:32:34The world in solemn stillness lay
00:32:40To hear the angels sing
00:32:49Jingle out, jingle out, jingle all the way
00:32:54Oh, what fun is to ride in one-horse open sleigh
00:32:58Hey!
00:32:59Jingle out, jingle out, jingle all the way
00:33:04Oh, what fun is to ride in one-horse open sleigh
00:33:08What do you say?
00:33:12Yeah, it was so good
00:33:15Thank you
00:33:16So I learned something about you tonight
00:33:17What?
00:33:18You've been holding out on me
00:33:19What do you mean?
00:33:20You have a great voice
00:33:23I really don't
00:33:24Everyone else is freaky fabulous
00:33:27Oh, we did all right
00:33:28Yeah, we did
00:33:29Come on, let's cut through the park
00:33:31Okay
00:33:32All right, go
00:33:32All right
00:33:33Okay, careful
00:33:34Okay, careful
00:33:35Heels, heels
00:33:35Yeah, yeah
00:33:36Oh, they're winning
00:33:38Look at those two
00:33:45Look how matchmaking might have worked
00:33:48Hey
00:33:50Your hair's gotten longer
00:33:52I always thought you should grow it out
00:33:53Oh, so you're saying you didn't like it the way it was before
00:33:56That's not what I'm saying
00:33:57I just think it looks better now
00:33:59Well, I'm gonna get it cut tomorrow
00:34:00Of course you are
00:34:05Explain to me why you guys broke up again
00:34:08We drive each other crazy
00:34:10Easy
00:34:11And I always beat you at pickleball
00:34:12No, you don't
00:34:13Of course I do
00:34:14That is a gross exaggeration
00:34:16I think we should settle this once and for all
00:34:20You've got it
00:34:20You're on
00:34:22Bea and Ben choose your weapons
00:34:26Okay

00:34:56I will defend you till the death
00:35:04By day she is fair and the sweetest I have ever looked upon
00:35:07You are such a hopeless romantic
00:35:09Totally hopeless
00:35:17You all right
00:35:20I am
00:35:21Thank you
00:35:22Good shot
00:35:23So what are you doing tomorrow?
00:35:25Something very special
00:35:26Do you want to join me?
00:35:27Of course
00:35:28Okay
00:35:29We make a good team
00:35:30Yes, yes
00:35:31Move off, wait
00:35:45You're looking good in that Santa suit
00:35:47I think red's my color
00:35:48I think so too
00:35:49Okay
00:35:50Wait here
00:35:51Okay
00:35:54Kids
00:35:55I have a surprise for you
00:35:58It's Santa Claus
00:36:03Merry Christmas children
00:36:05Santa
00:36:06Oh my dear
00:36:07Oh my dear
00:36:08A little girl
00:36:09Dreaming in the world
00:36:10Here we are
00:36:13Out surrounded again
00:36:21Oh my dear
00:36:21I think so
00:36:22Here's another one to care
00:36:22For you
00:36:23To be a romantic
00:36:24Tossed in the snow
00:36:25And I was dreaming in the distance
00:36:26So waiting for my missile
00:36:29Don't kiss me
00:36:30And all the lights
00:36:31All the lights are shining right beyond
00:36:36Kiss Merry Christmas
00:36:40All the bells are ringing out again
00:36:46Cause it's Christmas time
00:36:58Hey, what do you think?
00:37:00I just pulled it up
00:37:02I like the black background
00:37:03It really makes the crystal pop
00:37:05Yeah, you don't think it's too stark?
00:37:06Not at all
00:37:07Cause I was thinking we could try adding an element of whimsy to it
00:37:10I don't think it needs it
00:37:12The trends are all moving towards minimalistic
00:37:14Okay
00:37:15What about a lens flare on the bevel here?
00:37:17I'll get right on it
00:37:20Hey
00:37:21How's it going with your new girl?
00:37:24Hayley?
00:37:25Great
00:37:26Spent all Sunday in a Santa suit with her and a bunch of adorable children
00:37:29Yeah, she's amazing
00:37:31She's um
00:37:32She's so honest and genuine
00:37:35Oh boy
00:37:36You're a goner
00:37:37Yeah, all right
00:37:39I need something else
00:37:51Yeah, there we come
00:37:55Hey, I'm going to lunch
00:37:56Wanna come?
00:37:57Oh, is it that late?
00:37:58Um, I actually have to pick something up but I'll see you in a bit, yeah?
00:38:00All right
00:38:01See ya
00:38:02Okay, uh
00:38:03Okay, uh
00:38:05Hey
00:38:06Hi
00:38:35Good choice on this blazer
00:38:37Well, I just got a new job
00:38:39You did?
00:38:40Congratulations
00:38:41Well, you will definitely impress your new boss with this
00:38:42Thank you
00:38:43Thank you
00:38:46How much is that briefcase?
00:38:48Um...
00:38:53You know what?
00:38:54It's actually on special
00:39:00How does $10 sound?
00:39:02That sounds just fine
00:39:04Okay, I'll take it
00:39:05Great
00:39:06Hi, Mom
00:39:21Hello, sweetheart
00:39:23Well, looks like you've been doing some shopping
00:39:26No, these are a donation
00:39:28Mom, thank you
00:39:30I'm happy to contribute
00:39:32Um, when you have a minute I'd love to go over the budget for the gala
00:39:35Sure
00:39:37We'll schedule something this week
00:39:39Okay
00:39:42So much stuff
00:39:46Hi, welcome to the Hope Chest
00:39:48Hi
00:39:49Wait
00:39:54Mom, didn't you just buy these for your company Christmas party?
00:39:57Yes
00:39:58They were torture
00:40:00My feet are still recovering
00:40:02I almost feel guilty giving them to someone else
00:40:04Speaking of party
00:40:07What did you think of Niles?
00:40:09I hear he's single
00:40:10He's not my type
00:40:11Why not?
00:40:13I found him charming
00:40:14Well, he wasn't so charming when he thought I was a server at the cocoa cart
00:40:17Well, why would you think that?
00:40:19Well, Doris was having technical issues with the machine and I stepped in to help
00:40:24Of course you did
00:40:25But as it so happens, I did meet someone at your party
00:40:31Oh?
00:40:32His name is Claude and we've been seeing each other for a little while now
00:40:36Is it serious?
00:40:38Maybe?
00:40:39I'd like to meet him
00:40:41Why don't you have him over to the house for dinner?
00:40:44Sure
00:40:46Um
00:40:47How about after the holidays?
00:40:49I've just
00:40:50You know, it's just been so busy with the gala
00:40:51And
00:40:52You're right
00:40:53And I have to dash
00:40:54Yeah
00:40:55Okay
00:40:56Thank you so much for the clothes
00:40:57You're welcome
00:40:58I love you, Mom
00:40:59Thanks
00:41:00Hey, Karen
00:41:05Yes, I'm on my way
00:41:10Hey
00:41:12You alright?
00:41:13The colour drained from your face for a second there
00:41:16Oh, no, no
00:41:17I'm good
00:41:18Uh
00:41:19Wow, what do you got there?
00:41:20Oh
00:41:21It's a rescue
00:41:22A sword on the way over
00:41:24Couldn't resist
00:41:25You're such a sap
00:41:26Did you actually buy a Charlie Brown Christmas tree?
00:41:29Yes, I did
00:41:31Does it have a home?
00:41:32My office
00:41:34Do you want to help me decorate it?
00:41:36How can I say no to that?
00:41:40Hi
00:41:41How you doing?
00:41:42How you doing, Claude?
00:41:43Right down the stairs, here
00:41:45This is so cool
00:41:48Welcome to my world
00:41:50Well, I share it with Ben and a couple of others
00:41:52But you know, they're at lunch
00:41:54It is exactly like I pictured it
00:41:56It's arty, groovy
00:41:58Comfy
00:42:00Comfy
00:42:01Just like you
00:42:02Comfy?
00:42:03Are you sure that's a compliment?
00:42:04Absolutely
00:42:05It means cuddly
00:42:06Cuddly?
00:42:07Then I'll take it
00:42:11You don't know how happy that tree makes me
00:42:15Thank you
00:42:16Well, you're ridiculously easy to please, you know that?
00:42:19How did I get so lucky?
00:42:21I want to congratulate your mother on raising such an awesome girl
00:42:23Oh
00:42:24I'll tell her
00:42:25Well, when can I meet her?
00:42:26I can, uh, tell her myself
00:42:29Um, you know what?
00:42:30I'll ask her
00:42:31How do you turn this on?
00:42:33Ah!
00:42:34You don't like talking about your mother, do you?
00:42:37Well, you're not close
00:42:40No, no, we're very close
00:42:43Well, what is it then?
00:42:44You know you can tell me anything
00:42:46I want us to be able to trust each other
00:42:49Absolutely
00:42:51In my last relationship
00:42:52I discovered she wasn't an honest person
00:42:54And I don't really ever want to go through that again
00:42:57Sorry, baggage
00:42:58But I feel a connection to you
00:43:01Me too
00:43:04I have been meaning to share something with you, Claude
00:43:08My mother is actually
00:43:10Oh, hey, Claude, there you are
00:43:12Back from lunch already?
00:43:14Oh, yes, just a grab and go
00:43:16Don, this is Hayley
00:43:18Hayley, I've heard so much about you
00:43:20All good
00:43:22I hope so
00:43:23And, uh, this is my brilliant boss, Don
00:43:25I'll try and live up to that
00:43:26Claude, could I borrow your break for a sec?
00:43:28I was just rethinking the color of the font
00:43:30Yeah, I can pull it right up
00:43:31Great
00:43:32Is it okay if Hayley sees this?
00:43:33Of course
00:43:34I'd love to get your opinion
00:43:35Uh
00:43:36Yeah, it's for our presentation with Leona Lloyd
00:43:39Oh, when is that?
00:43:41It's Friday
00:43:42Uh, I really shouldn't have an opinion about it
00:43:44What are you talking about?
00:43:45It's a woman's fragrance
00:43:46You're our target audience
00:43:48Okay
00:43:49Um
00:43:50Well, what do you think?
00:43:53It's really nice
00:43:54It's clean
00:43:56And sleek
00:43:57Too clean?
00:43:59I'm just not an authority on marketing
00:44:01And I don't want to say the wrong thing
00:44:03And I know how important this meeting is to your company
00:44:06And I should probably just let you guys get back to work
00:44:10And get out of your hair
00:44:11Well, you don't have to do that
00:44:12I mean, Claude and I can finish this later
00:44:14Yeah
00:44:15You know what? I'm feeling a little bit lightheaded, so...
00:44:17Are you okay?
00:44:18I can get you some water
00:44:19No, I'm fine
00:44:20I just didn't sleep very well
00:44:21But I'll let you guys do your creative thing
00:44:22And it was lovely meeting you, Don
00:44:24But I'm gonna...
00:44:25Same here
00:44:26I'm gonna go
00:44:27I'll see you later
00:44:28I think I've actually made myself physically nauseous
00:44:41Here
00:44:42This should help
00:44:47What is it?
00:44:48Antacid and anog
00:44:50Oh, that's an icky combo
00:44:54I think I'm gonna die
00:44:59It's just guilt
00:45:00It's not fatal
00:45:01I'm a horrible person
00:45:03How could I deceive Claude like this?
00:45:05I mean, it all started out so innocent
00:45:07And now it's turned into this big ugly lie that I can't undo
00:45:10Why not?
00:45:11Because he's fallen for this girl that he thinks I am
00:45:12Which I'm clearly not
00:45:13Wait, exactly what did you tell him?
00:45:16He thinks that I was raised by a struggling single mother
00:45:18Why would he think that?
00:45:19Because she was single and it was a struggle for her
00:45:21Because she was busy building a multi-million dollar corporation?
00:45:24Yes, which she did all by herself
00:45:26Still a stretch
00:45:27Okay, fine
00:45:28But now Claude and the guys, they have this big pitch meeting with her
00:45:31And when they find out that I'm her daughter, it's gonna go south like it always does
00:45:35Okay, you need to let this presentation happen without any interference
00:45:38Then drop the bomb
00:45:40Now I've got to go get ready
00:45:42No, don't leave me, where are you going?
00:45:44Out with Ben
00:45:45Mmm, it's just casual
00:45:46Right, can you just make sure to not
00:45:48Don't worry, I won't say a word
00:45:51Okay?
00:45:52Thank you
00:45:56I am definitely on the naughty list
00:46:05So we've added some vegan options to the appetizers and it fits perfectly in the budget
00:46:10Wonderful
00:46:11So that's all set
00:46:12And the committee has landed some big ticket auction items
00:46:16And I've been working on a golf course package at St. Andrews
00:46:19Wonderful
00:46:20We're on track
00:46:22This is great, thank you darling
00:46:24Oh, you're welcome
00:46:27Hayley
00:46:28Is something troubling you?
00:46:30You didn't seem yourself today
00:46:32I'm sorry
00:46:33I'm just
00:46:34I need to iron out this little wrinkle with Claude
00:46:37Can I help?
00:46:38No, I wish you could
00:46:40I...
00:46:41I have to figure this out for myself
00:46:43Darling
00:46:45I know you want to do everything on your own
00:46:47But please know
00:46:48I'm never too busy to talk
00:46:50If you need me
00:46:51Thanks, Mom
00:46:53It means a lot
00:46:54The gentlemen from Blue Skies Agency are here for their 11 o'clock
00:46:59Did you say Blue Skies?
00:47:01Yes
00:47:02They're waiting at the reception
00:47:05They're a little early
00:47:06We have a few more minutes
00:47:07Um
00:47:08You know what?
00:47:09I have to go
00:47:10My goodness, why the sudden rush?
00:47:12Um
00:47:13I realize I have a thing
00:47:14Um
00:47:15But I will see you this weekend
00:47:18Bye
00:47:19Love you
00:47:20Hello
00:47:31Can I take your calls?
00:47:32Yes
00:47:35Thank you
00:47:36Cheers
00:47:40This has to get to Leona
00:47:42It's very important
00:47:44Check it out
00:47:45Oh, goody
00:47:50The competition
00:47:52Of course
00:47:53I want it
00:47:54Thank you
00:47:55Oh, hi, Karen
00:47:56Glad I bumped into you
00:47:57I love this outfit, by the way
00:47:59Very chic
00:48:00So you saw our presentation this morning
00:48:02I can't say anything, Niles
00:48:04No, no, no
00:48:05Of course not
00:48:06I was just hoping to get your opinion
00:48:07That's all
00:48:08It was a strong pitch
00:48:10Well, how about you just casually mention that to Leona
00:48:13Do you know our company has skybox seats at the Winterdome?
00:48:18Excuse me, I have to take this
00:48:19Of course
00:48:24Hi
00:48:32Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay
00:48:36Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on
00:48:37Hey, you
00:48:38What a surprise
00:48:39Hey
00:48:40Oh, hi
00:48:41Miles
00:48:42It's your mum
00:48:43Uh, yeah, just some gala stuff
00:48:45Right, right
00:48:47Um
00:48:48Oh, I'm sorry
00:48:49Let me help you with that
00:48:50Ow
00:48:51Ow
00:48:52You okay?
00:48:53Sorry about that
00:48:54Let me just have a look at that
00:48:55Hang on
00:48:56Don't put a bump in there
00:48:57Oh, no
00:48:58Hayley?
00:48:59Oh
00:49:00Hi
00:49:01What are you doing?
00:49:02God
00:49:03It's a really long story
00:49:04Uh, I thought your meeting was on Friday
00:49:07Uh, it got pushed up
00:49:08Uh, it got pushed up
00:49:11Um, this is Niles
00:49:13From Elite Marketing
00:49:14Of course
00:49:15Claude Miller, Blue Skies
00:49:16You guys pitching the Beguiled account?
00:49:18Uh, yeah
00:49:19Good luck with that one
00:49:20We 8 stars earlier today
00:49:21The owner even asked for some additional imagery
00:49:23So I just dropped off her drive
00:49:25Claude, what are you doing? Come on
00:49:27Uh, I've got to run
00:49:30I'll, um, see ya
00:49:32Good luck
00:49:33What's up? You okay?
00:49:36Yeah
00:49:37Come on then
00:49:38It's game time
00:49:39Yeah, absolutely, I'm here for you 100%
00:49:40Yes
00:49:41Gentlemen
00:49:58Leona
00:49:59I'm looking forward to seeing what you have for me
00:50:01Say
00:50:02Hi
00:50:03Good to see you
00:50:04Hello
00:50:05You can plug into my screen over here
00:50:06Oh, wonderful
00:50:08Okay
00:50:10So who's going to be your date at the gala then?
00:50:16Uh, that's kind of in flux
00:50:19Then we should go together
00:50:21Uh, I can't really commit to something right now
00:50:24But, um, I'll see you later
00:50:29Beguiled Beauty
00:50:30Irresistibly cool
00:50:32There you go
00:50:35I'm not sure it has the wow factor
00:50:39Oh, well, by the wow factor
00:50:40Oh, well, by the wow factor
00:50:41Do you mean the product isn't appealing enough?
00:50:43Oh, we also have it without the snow
00:50:45If you think that dissipates the crystal facets
00:50:48No, the snow is great
00:50:50I'm just not connecting with it emotionally
00:50:53Claude
00:50:54Uh, well, I have been, uh, roughing out something a little different
00:51:02But I haven't had the chance to run it by my team yet
00:51:04Uh, well, we can all discover it together?
00:51:07Yeah, show us what you've got, Claude
00:51:09All right
00:51:10So, uh, I was thinking
00:51:13Beguiled Beauty
00:51:16Encounter the Magic
00:51:18Is this a joke?
00:51:33Uh, no
00:51:35Where did you get the model?
00:51:38That's, uh, my girlfriend
00:51:40She's not actually a model
00:51:41No, she most certainly is not
00:51:43She is my daughter
00:51:44And I don't appreciate you trying to use her to gain an advantage with me
00:51:48No, no, there must be some mistake
00:51:51Uh, are you talking about Hayley Logan?
00:51:54She's Hayley Logan Lloyd
00:52:00Has she even seen this?
00:52:02No, no, I just, um, I took this candid shot
00:52:05And I thought it worked well for the picture
00:52:08Leona, I'm so sorry if we've offended you
00:52:10We didn't know
00:52:12No
00:52:13Did we, Claude?
00:52:16Claude?
00:52:18Oh, this is all making sense now
00:52:22Are you telling me
00:52:23That Hayley hasn't told you who I am?
00:52:28No, she hasn't
00:52:31I can't tell you how profoundly disappointing that is
00:52:34Excuse me
00:52:44Okay, uh, there has to be a way to salvage this situation
00:52:47If we switched out the model
00:52:49Would this idea work for you?
00:52:50Ben
00:52:53I'm afraid your time is up
00:53:02Thank you for the meeting
00:53:03Are you sure Claude saw you?
00:53:21Positive, he was going into a meeting with my mom while I was waiting for the elevator with Niles
00:53:24What were you doing with Niles?
00:53:25What were you doing with Niles?
00:53:26He was asking me to be his date for the gala
00:53:27And?
00:53:28I said no, of course
00:53:29But imagine what it must have looked like to Claude
00:53:31Well, more importantly, did Claude make the connection between you and your mom?
00:53:32I don't know
00:53:33I don't know
00:53:34I mean, I texted him and he hasn't texted me back yet
00:53:35Is that him?
00:53:36No, it's my mom
00:53:37And?
00:53:38She wants me to meet her at the house
00:53:40I wonder what that's about
00:53:42I'm afraid to ask
00:53:43You should try Claude again
00:53:47My mom and she wants me to meet her at the house. I wonder what that's about
00:53:55I'm afraid to ask you should try Claude again
00:54:06Over there, right mate
00:54:12Well, I couldn't have gone any worse. I'm sorry guys because of me we practically handed the account to elite marketing
00:54:17It's not your fault. I thought your layout was brilliant by the way. You were right on target. Thank you
00:54:22I just wish Leon had felt the same. I can't believe she's Hayley's mother. I don't know what Hayley's game is
00:54:27But I don't want any part of it
00:54:29She tried to reach you. Yeah, I have nothing to say to her
00:54:33Don't you want to give her a chance to explain? Chance to explain what she fabricated her entire life
00:54:41I feel like such an idiot
00:54:43Okay, buddy
00:54:44Maybe not the best time to be throwing darts. Why don't you sit down?
00:54:51I shouldn't have used that picture of Hayley. I totally blown our chances. No, I told you to use it
00:54:57It is what it is
00:55:00Let it go
00:55:03So we didn't get the account
00:55:07What does this mean for blue skies?
00:55:10It's got a little cloudy
00:55:12Hello, this is Claude. Please leave a message and I will call you back
00:55:34Hi Claude. It's me again. I really need to talk to you. Can you please call me back?
00:55:41Okay, thanks
00:55:44Good afternoon Hayley. Hi Gordon
00:55:48So how are you doing today? I'm fine
00:55:53Your mother's expected you
00:55:55Okay, thank you Gordon
00:56:03She's in her study
00:56:06How is she? It's not for me to say
00:56:10Great
00:56:12Hi Mom
00:56:16Hi Mom
00:56:16Hayley
00:56:17Please sit down
00:56:19Would you like some tea?
00:56:22No, thank you
00:56:24Um, is everything alright?
00:56:29The strangest thing happened today
00:56:32I met with a young man in my office
00:56:34I met with a young man in my office
00:56:35I met with a young man in my office
00:56:36Who, as it turns out, has been dating my daughter for some time
00:56:39But somehow
00:56:41But somehow
00:56:43He had no idea I was her mother
00:56:49Do you care to explain this anomaly?
00:56:51Mom, I'm sorry
00:56:53Are you ashamed of me?
00:56:55No, of course not
00:56:57He knows you as Hayley Logan
00:56:59Is that the name you're going by these days?
00:57:01Only with Claude
00:57:05It's not the way that you think
00:57:07So you didn't mislead him?
00:57:09I didn't do it on purpose
00:57:11It just, it sort of happened and then I couldn't take it back
00:57:15I know it hasn't been easy for you being my daughter
00:57:19But I want you to remember that
00:57:21But I want you to remember something
00:57:24When your father left us
00:57:26We had to start from scratch
00:57:28I never wanted you to be in that position
00:57:31To have to rely on someone else for your livelihood
00:57:34I built this life
00:57:36And this company for us
00:57:38For our future
00:57:42And it was very tough
00:57:44But we persevered, didn't we?
00:57:46Mom, you sacrificed so much for me
00:57:48And I'm truly grateful
00:57:50And when I walk into that building
00:57:53And see our name up on that wall
00:57:55I think of what we overcame to get there
00:57:58And we did it together
00:58:00That is something I am very proud of
00:58:03And you should be too
00:58:06I am
00:58:07I am so proud of you, Mom
00:58:09I am so proud of you, Mom
00:58:18I know that we are two different women
00:58:23You don't like the spotlight
00:58:25I've come to terms with that
00:58:26But please
00:58:28Don't hide from who you are
00:58:30Guys always treat me differently
00:58:35The minute they find out
00:58:36And I just want things to be different with Claude
00:58:41Nevertheless
00:58:43You'll never be able to hold on to a relationship
00:58:45Without honesty and trust
00:58:49You are Hayley Lloyd
00:58:52Claude needs to accept that
00:58:55Or he's not the right person for you
00:58:57I didn't even give him a chance
00:59:00Oh, that's too bad
00:59:02So, I'm assuming Blue Skies didn't get the account?
00:59:07No
00:59:09I practically threw them out of the office
00:59:15That's awful
00:59:20How do I fix this?
00:59:21Follow your heart
00:59:25It's a beautiful one
00:59:27It's a beautiful one
00:59:52Hayley
00:59:55Hi, Ben
00:59:57You here to see Claude?
00:59:58Yeah
01:00:00You left for the night
01:00:01Said he needed to take a walk
01:00:04I think I know where he went
01:00:07Okay, thank you
01:00:08I'll see you later
01:00:21I thought I might find you here
01:00:36I'm sorry to interrupt your moment of solitude
01:00:38But you haven't been returning my calls
01:00:43Do you mind if I join you?
01:00:52I went by your office
01:00:56I saw that you're taking good care of the Charlie Brown Christmas tree
01:01:01Yeah
01:01:03Doesn't ask for much
01:01:05Claude, please just let me explain what happened
01:01:10It's pretty simple, isn't it?
01:01:11You're not who you say you are
01:01:13I never meant to hurt you
01:01:14Well, what did you think was going to happen?
01:01:16You can't just make up a whole new life anytime you want to be someone else
01:01:21Things are never the same when people find out who I really am
01:01:24They never are
01:01:25You don't know that
01:01:28Look, just try to understand
01:01:31For the first time in my life
01:01:34I caught a glimpse of what it might feel like to be
01:01:39A girl named Hayley
01:01:40Not the heir to Lloyd Industries
01:01:43But the girl that
01:01:46Went to elf camp and
01:01:48Served hot cocoa and
01:01:50Had snowball fights
01:01:54I never thought that I would meet somebody like you, but I did
01:01:57And what we had was so amazing
01:02:01And I didn't want to risk losing that
01:02:03Risk losing you
01:02:06How long are we going to keep up the act?
01:02:07I tried telling you in your office, but then Don showed up and you both wanted my opinion on the pitch and it put me in a terribly awkward position
01:02:16How so?
01:02:18Because I knew how important the meeting was to you and how it could save blue skies or even make or break your career even
01:02:25So instead you humiliated me in front of your mother, my boss and my best friend
01:02:28If you knew that Leona Lloyd was my mother, you don't think that you would have used me for an inside edge?
01:02:35Come on Claude
01:02:37Isn't that a real possibility?
01:02:39I would never have used you like that
01:02:41But I guess you'll never know that for certain
01:02:44Because you took that decision away from me
01:02:47I don't know who I fell in love with, but it wasn't you
01:02:50You fell in love?
01:02:53It doesn't matter
01:02:56It wasn't real
01:03:05It was to me
01:03:06It was to me
01:03:20You hung that backwards
01:03:23Am I that bad?
01:03:25I just miss your Christmas glow, that's all
01:03:28Me too
01:03:37So it's definitely over between you and Hayley
01:03:42No chance of patching things up
01:03:49Well I'm here for you buddy
01:03:51If you ever want to talk about it
01:03:53Thank you
01:03:55That means a lot
01:04:00Want half my cookie?
01:04:03Sure
01:04:06Thank you
01:04:31If anything changes, you'll be the first person I call
01:04:34Good luck
01:04:35Thanks
01:04:37Sorry mate, best of luck
01:04:39Thanks guys
01:04:40Good luck buddy
01:05:03Thanks
01:05:04Thanks
01:05:05Thanks
01:05:06Where's yours?
01:05:07I'm eating half of yours
01:05:09Oh
01:05:10So what are you waiting to the Gala?
01:05:12I haven't thought about it
01:05:14Thanks, where's yours?
01:05:16I'm eating half of yours
01:05:18Oh, so what are you waiting to the Gala?
01:05:23I haven't thought about it
01:05:24Hayley
01:05:25Hmm?
01:05:26Hmm?
01:05:27It's this weekend
01:05:28Yeah, I'll figure something out
01:05:30I'm calling your mum for wardrobe assistance
01:05:31Okay, fine
01:05:32Hmm?
01:05:33I can't understand how you would leave it until the last minute like this
01:05:34I ordered my gown two months ago
01:05:35So what are you waiting to the Gala?
01:05:36I haven't thought about it
01:05:38Hayley
01:05:39Hmm?
01:05:40It's this weekend
01:05:41Yeah, I'll figure something out
01:05:43I'm calling your mum for wardrobe assistance
01:05:45I'm calling your mum for wardrobe assistance
01:05:47Okay, fine
01:05:51Hmm?
01:05:58I can't understand how you would leave it until the last minute like this
01:06:02I ordered my gown two months ago
01:06:04See?
01:06:05Take a cue from your friend
01:06:06Look, it doesn't matter what I wear
01:06:07I don't have a date anyway, so...
01:06:09But it's the grand benefit for the hope chest and you're the big cheese
01:06:13Darling, listen to me
01:06:14You don't need a date to stand up and be proud of your achievements
01:06:18And everything they stand for
01:06:19She's right
01:06:21It's your night
01:06:22And if I have anything to do with it
01:06:24You're going to look radiant
01:06:28I'm not sure if this is the right size, but it has a lovely silhouette
01:06:31Mmm
01:06:32Thanks, mum
01:06:38How's she doing?
01:06:42She's been better
01:06:43Hmm
01:06:44I don't know what to do to help
01:06:45I feel like I'm part of the problem
01:06:47What?
01:06:48It's not you
01:06:49Should I interview?
01:06:51I would hold off on that for now
01:06:53Just let the dust settle
01:06:55Oh, hey
01:06:57What do you think?
01:06:58Good fit
01:06:59Drab colour
01:07:00Perfect
01:07:01Matches my mood
01:07:02Hmm
01:07:03The boost don't help
01:07:04We can't have that
01:07:06We can't have that
01:07:07Let's try the red
01:07:08Great
01:07:09Let's do the red
01:07:10Great
01:07:11Let's do the red
01:07:20So what are you up to tonight?
01:07:21Frozen dinner and some laundry
01:07:23Wow, exciting
01:07:25Yeah
01:07:27Ben
01:07:28Claude
01:07:29Could you come to my office a second?
01:07:31Guys
01:07:32The Davros account didn't go through
01:07:47Ah, bummer
01:07:48Anyway
01:07:49I thought maybe we could try once more to reset things with Leona
01:07:53I bought tickets to the Christmas gala
01:07:55I hoped we could all go together
01:07:57Anything you need
01:07:58Great
01:07:59What about you, Claude?
01:08:00It's Hayley's event, I think I should sit this one out
01:08:03Of course
01:08:04I understand
01:08:05I...
01:08:06Sorry, I have to take this
01:08:08Um
01:08:09We'll talk tomorrow
01:08:10Sure
01:08:19Hi, pick up for Hayley
01:08:21Hayley?
01:08:22Hi
01:08:23You really have to stop following me
01:08:25Well, I'm just here to grab some food
01:08:28So
01:08:29Are you gonna let me take you to your gala or what?
01:08:32Um, thank you
01:08:33But I have to set up early
01:08:35Isn't that what the hired help is for?
01:08:37Uh, no
01:08:39It's a charity and we're volunteering
01:08:41Okay, but you still need a date
01:08:44Thank you, but I don't have time for one
01:08:47Okay
01:08:48Save me a dance day
01:08:50Hey, Mom
01:08:51Oh, thank you
01:08:53Cheryl
01:09:07Don and I are cutting out early, so you're on your own
01:09:12Yeah
01:09:22Hey, I've been thinking
01:09:24It would be great if you could bite the bullet and come with us tonight
01:09:27I know Hayley's gonna be there and you could take a minute to talk things over
01:09:30Talk what over?
01:09:31Talk what over?
01:09:32I'm done being played
01:09:33Do you really think Hayley's been playing you?
01:09:37Be honest with yourself
01:09:39Because from my perspective what you two had seemed pretty authentic
01:09:46Yeah
01:09:47Well
01:09:52Something to think about
01:09:53You know I can't go
01:09:55Alright
01:09:57I understand
01:10:01So
01:10:03See ya
01:10:17Here you go
01:10:22Here you go
01:10:23Oh, yes
01:10:24Thank you, Gordon
01:10:33Oh, you landed the saint down to his golf excursion
01:10:35I did
01:10:36Wow, Mom
01:10:37That dress is a knockout
01:10:39Thank you
01:10:40I'll have to have you cut me out a bit later
01:10:42I'll be right there
01:10:44Hayley
01:10:45Please
01:10:46Get dressed
01:10:47Yes, I will as soon as the children's choir gets here
01:10:49I want to make sure they're settled
01:10:55Wait, I need those flowers
01:11:02Hey, dear, let me help you
01:11:05Thank you, Doris
01:11:07No problem at all
01:11:09How you doing?
01:11:10Is everything going well with that handsome young man from the Christmas party?
01:11:14Unfortunately, he's out of the picture
01:11:17Is he really?
01:11:19Your eyes had such a sparkle in them when you met him
01:11:23He did?
01:11:24Oh, yes
01:11:26Maybe you can get it back
01:11:28I don't see how
01:11:30It's Christmas
01:11:32Miracles do happen
01:11:35It looks a lot like Christmas to me
01:11:46Though I can see where you might disagree
01:11:50Oh, okay
01:11:52Wow
01:11:54They have got to get a nicer entrance for this place
01:11:56Well, next time we'll use a helipad
01:11:58Are you still one?
01:11:59Yeah, it's her back
01:12:01Hayley really was withholding
01:12:02Oh, stop it
01:12:03She doesn't care about any of that stuff
01:12:05I would
01:12:11Thank you
01:12:13Me?
01:12:15Thank you
01:12:16Oh, look at this, it's beautiful
01:12:21I better go see if Don's here yet
01:12:23Okay, I'll find Hayley
01:12:27That is the best one I've heard all evening
01:12:29Excuse me
01:12:31Beatrice, have you seen Hayley? I'm starting to get worried
01:12:34I was just gonna go check on her
01:12:35Can you try upstairs?
01:12:36Sure
01:12:37Thank you
01:12:38No
01:12:39No
01:12:40No
01:12:41No
01:12:46That's right
01:12:48Thank you
01:12:50Thank you
01:12:52Hey, looking shop
01:12:54Ben
01:12:55Thank you for coming
01:12:56It means a lot
01:12:58Oh, you're welcome
01:13:00Hey
01:13:02I don't know if you noticed but there's a fabulous party going on downstairs
01:13:06And you're in your bathrobe
01:13:09You're crying
01:13:11The zipper's stuck
01:13:13You look beautiful
01:13:15Thank you
01:13:17Here, let me
01:13:25There, fixed
01:13:29But
01:13:30I don't think the zipper is why you're upset
01:13:33Oh, Bea
01:13:35I really messed things up with Claude
01:13:38I mean, you warned me and I didn't listen
01:13:40Hey
01:13:42Don't beat yourself up
01:13:44Let's focus on what you've done right
01:13:46You've organized this awesome event
01:13:48Big success, huge turnout
01:13:51Let's go
01:13:55Is that your pep talk?

01:13:59You're such an amazing friend
01:14:04Thank you
01:14:05Well, I love you
01:14:09Oh, that's not fair

01:17:35Have you had a chance to speak with Liana?
01:17:37No, not yet.
01:17:43Hang on one second.
01:17:49Hey, gorgeous.
01:17:51I just talked my company into outbidding half the room at the silent auction table.
01:17:56Niles, that's so incredibly generous, thank you.
01:17:59How about that dance that you promised me?
01:18:01Sure.
01:18:03Tell me.
01:18:05Hi, guys.
01:18:11Hey.
01:18:13Everything all right?
01:18:15Yeah.
01:18:17Oh, sorry, you two have met.
01:18:19This is my boss, Don.
01:18:21Don, this is Beatrice.
01:18:23Pleased to meet you, Beatrice.
01:18:24Nice to meet you.
01:18:25I think the beguile account is a lock.
01:18:27Correct your insurance, Niles is currently charming.
01:18:29Leona's daughter, which can only help.
01:18:31Wonderful party, isn't it?
01:18:33Oh, thank you.
01:18:34What are you doing in here?
01:18:35Oh, uh, hello.
01:18:36I was just, uh, stepping out for some air.
01:18:37Oh.
01:18:38I'm happy to have a chance to speak with you.
01:18:40It seems we find ourselves in similar circumstances.
01:18:42We both let our emotions cloud our judgement.
01:18:43Oh.
01:18:44Oh.
01:18:45I'm happy to have a chance to speak with you.
01:18:47You're a talented young man.
01:18:48Oh, I'm happy to have a chance to speak with you.
01:18:49Oh, I'm happy to have a chance to speak with you.
01:18:50Oh.
01:18:51Oh.
01:18:52Oh, I'm happy to have a chance to speak with you.
01:18:54Oh.
01:18:55Oh, uh, hello.
01:18:56I was just, uh, stepping out for some air.
01:18:59Oh.
01:19:00I'm happy to have a chance to speak with you.
01:19:02It seems we find ourselves in similar circumstances.
01:19:06We both let our emotions cloud our judgement.
01:19:11I don't think I follow.
01:19:13You're a talented young man.
01:19:17To tell the truth, your take on the Beguiled concept was the best one presented to me.
01:19:24I should have given you and your team a second chance.
01:19:28Don't you agree?
01:19:30I do.
01:19:32Then you shall have it.
01:19:35That-that would be much appreciated.
01:19:41And what about my daughter?
01:19:43What about Hayley?
01:19:46Doesn't she deserve another chance?
01:19:49I've been asking myself the same question.
01:19:53The question you should be asking is...
01:19:56Do you love her?
01:19:57You're gave Platform?
01:19:59You beLove as…?
01:20:00Oh, of course.
01:20:01You don't want that question.
01:20:02Oh, um.
01:20:03I do not.
01:20:04You want it.
01:20:05I'll answer the question I thought down here…
01:20:07Oh, um…
01:20:09You didn't know that.
01:20:10That's what I want.
01:20:12I'd be glad to have a chance where I went to be,
01:20:14Can't feel bothered by a tournament.
01:20:15Can't tell us.
01:20:16One more?
01:20:28May I?
01:20:30Clyde?
01:20:32Young man, I'd love a dance.
01:20:36No, I'm good, thank you.
01:20:37Are you sure about that?
01:20:39From what I hear, you've been a little naughty.
01:20:46I didn't think you'd come.
01:20:48Neither did I.
01:20:51I'm so sorry.
01:20:52It's all right.
01:20:53I made such a mistake with you.
01:20:56I didn't give you the benefit of the doubt, and it's unforgivable.
01:21:00And you're such a beautiful person.
01:21:03And you deserve truth and honesty, and I wish...
01:21:06I wish I could just press the reset button and start all over.
01:21:10So why can't you?
01:21:12What?
01:21:14Why can't we start over?
01:21:16Okay.
01:21:17Great.
01:21:18I'm Claude, son of Otis Miller, amateur barbecue champion of Keswick,
01:21:24and sole heir to his prized brisket meat trimmer.
01:21:28And you are?
01:21:29I'm Hayley, daughter of Leona Lloyd,
01:21:33the sole heir of her company, and this house.
01:21:38Ah, yes, the fixer-upper.
01:21:39Yes.
01:21:40Great, so now that that's over, would you like to dance?
01:21:43I would love that.
01:21:44You look like someone stole your school lunch money.
01:21:57Leona!
01:21:58Well, I was just about to...
01:22:00Ask me to dance.
01:22:03Of course.
01:22:05How did you do?
01:22:09Hey, you're leading.
01:22:11Well, someone's got to.
01:22:15Well, how about we trade off?
01:22:17Okay, go ahead.
01:22:18Smooth move.
01:22:32About our barge presentation.
01:22:34No need to explain.
01:22:36I've worked it all out with Claude.
01:22:39Oh.
01:22:40Why don't you and your team come and see me on Monday?
01:22:42Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, brilliant.
01:22:49Do you remember when I asked you what you wanted for Christmas?
01:22:52Yes.
01:22:53Well, if you don't answer now,
01:22:55it might be too late.
01:22:57All I wanted for Christmas is you.
01:22:59Then you have your wish.
01:23:01Because I have fallen hopelessly in love with you, Hayley Lloyd.
01:23:05Well, that's really good news,
01:23:06because I'm madly in love with you, Claude Miller.
01:23:08Well, then, it's a very Merry Christmas for us both.
01:23:12Merry Christmas.
01:23:42Merry Christmas.
01:23:44Merry Christmas.
01:23:44Merry Christmas.
01:23:47Merry Christmas.
