00:10:04Please.
00:10:05It's just a book.
00:10:07It won't take long.
00:10:18Hi.
00:10:22Hi.
00:10:23So what do you say?
00:10:25Can you help me out?
00:10:26I'm late for a costume party, and I was walking by, and I saw the lights on, and I thought, kismet.
00:10:33You're going to a costume party at this time of night?
00:10:38It's 9.45.
00:10:40Sunday.
00:10:43Are you in a nightgown?
00:10:46Were you sleeping?
00:10:47I...
00:10:48Please don't tell me you live here.
00:10:51No, just...
00:10:53Look, it's a long story.
00:10:55Well, actually, it's not that long.
00:10:57Well, I'm allergic to my sister's cat, so...
00:11:01Okay.
00:11:03I'll just pretend like that clarifies anything.
00:11:06So?
00:11:11Okay.
00:11:12Fine.
00:11:13Just...
00:11:14Please don't rob me.
00:11:15I'm way too busy to deal with that this week.
00:11:18I promise.
00:11:19There will be no robbery.
00:11:20Well, your friend must have good taste.
00:11:22I love this collection.
00:11:28You read Minka Shelton poetry.
00:11:31Yeah, I love her.
00:11:33And her poems are sincere, yet simple, but also completely enchanting and...
00:11:40And romantic.
00:11:44Um...
00:11:45What style would you like the wrapping to be?
00:11:50Uh, well, what's your specialty?
00:11:52I'm known for furoshiki.
00:11:55For what?
00:11:56It's, um...
00:11:57It's Japanese style of wrapping.
00:12:01You don't use any paper, tape, or glue.
00:12:06Sounds like some sort of sorcery.
00:12:09Let's see it.
00:12:11Okay.
00:12:12Um...
00:12:13Let me just...
00:12:15Figure out...
00:12:17Color.
00:12:20See, you do all the wrapping competitions.
00:12:23Mm-hmm.
00:12:24Every year at the St. Paul Christmas Gala.
00:12:27Yeah, I thought so.
00:12:28My mother goes every year.
00:12:31Really?
00:12:32Mm-hmm.
00:12:32Okay.
00:12:38This is incredible.
00:12:40It took a while to master, but I think I've got it down now.
00:12:48And...
00:12:48Just...
00:12:50There.
00:12:52Here you go.
00:12:55This is a work of art.
00:12:59I'm seriously impressed.
00:13:00What do I owe you?
00:13:01Oh, no, no.
00:13:02It's...
00:13:03It's on the house.
00:13:03No way.
00:13:05This is a masterpiece.
00:13:07No, no, look.
00:13:08I've already closed a register for the night.
00:13:10Here, this is, uh...
00:13:11All they have on me.
00:13:14No, I...
00:13:15I can't accept that.
00:13:17I'm gonna leave it right here.
00:13:21Okay.
00:13:22Oh, thank you.
00:13:24Merry Christmas.
00:13:29Mia.
00:13:31I'm Mia.
00:13:32Mia.
00:13:35Thanks.
00:13:36I'm...
00:13:38I'm Mia.
00:13:44Yeah.
00:13:45Thanks.
00:13:50Lily!
00:14:14Now this I gotta hear.
00:14:19Ashlyn shows up unannounced last night and tells me that she has to crash with me,
00:14:24which is fine.
00:14:26But she brought her cat.
00:14:28Mia, when are you gonna stop letting her walk all over you?
00:14:31Doesn't she know you're allergic?
00:14:33Lily, she's my sister, I can't say no.
00:14:36And you know what, I bought some medication, so I should be good.
00:14:40But then, something even crazier happened.
00:14:45You know, I was just falling asleep and then this man knocks on the window.
00:14:50Wait, what?
00:14:51Yeah, I left the lights on so he thought we were open.
00:14:56He wanted me to wrap a book for him, but we kind of hit it off.
00:15:01Way to bury the lead!
00:15:03Yeah, but then he left.
00:15:04He just vanished, practically into thin air.
00:15:08What's his name?
00:15:12I don't know, I forgot to ask.
00:15:14Well, what does it look like?
00:15:17He was tall, handsome, and he had this mysterious air about him.
00:15:25You know, he was wearing a costume.
00:15:28You know, he looked like royalty.
00:15:30Hmm.
00:15:31You know who he sounds like, right?
00:15:34Who?
00:15:35Mr. Wedgwood.
00:15:40Come on, Lily.
00:15:41No, Mr. Wedgwood is a fictional character from a 19th century novel.
00:15:46I mean, this man?
00:15:48This man was real.
00:15:50Are you sure?
00:15:52I mean, I think so.
00:15:56Is it possible you fell asleep while reading Christmas in Derbyshire and dreamt the whole thing?
00:16:03It couldn't have all been a dream.
00:16:07You said it yourself.
00:16:08You have a very vivid imagination.
00:16:11No, no, no, no.
00:16:12He left me a hundred dollar tip, which I left just...
00:16:17A hundred dollar tip?
00:16:18It was right here.
00:16:19I left it right there.
00:16:21There.
00:16:26Sorry, I'm...
00:16:27Unfortunately, not all our fantasies can become a reality.
00:16:30I'm so happy that Santa's on his way.
00:16:42Been waiting all year long for Christmas Day.
00:16:45I feel alive when I look up to the sky.
00:16:51Knowing I might see him on his sleigh.
00:16:58Soon I will see lots of presents by the tree.
00:17:03Think of all the joy that's on its way.
00:17:08I dream of Santa's long white fear...
00:17:11I knew I wasn't dreaming.
00:17:13Through the air.
00:17:14I know it's almost time for Christmas Day.
00:17:16I know it's almost time for Christmas Day.
00:17:18Through the air.
00:17:19Through the air.
00:17:20Let's see.
00:17:21Through the air.
00:17:22Through, after, after.
00:17:23Through the air.
00:17:24Through the air.
00:17:25Through the air.
00:17:26Through the air.
00:17:27Hello, Mia.
00:17:29You?
00:17:31You came back?
00:17:32I guess I'm too late once again, huh?
00:17:34No, I don't mind seeing later.
00:17:36No, no, I can come back another day.
00:17:39I just figured if you might be closed anyway, so.
00:17:42Oh, what?
00:17:43You figured we were closed, and why did you come by?
00:17:47Oh, uh, well, I, um,
00:17:51Oh!
00:17:52Oh!
00:17:53Oh, me?
00:17:58Uh, I wanted to ask you if you'd be interested in doing a fair, chic-y lesson for this book club that my mother is a part of tomorrow.
00:18:08I know that they would really love it.
00:18:10Oh.
00:18:11Wow.
00:18:12Well, I, I have to work in the morning.
00:18:15Right.
00:18:16No, of course.
00:18:17Forget it.
00:18:18No, no, no.
00:18:19Uh, but I, I, I could do a quick demo around noon?
00:18:23Yeah?
00:18:24It's one Maplewood Lane.
00:18:29I will be there.
00:18:32Looking forward to it.
00:18:34Wait, what, what is your name?
00:18:38It's Beau.
00:18:40Beau.
00:18:41Mm-hmm.
00:18:43Okay.
00:18:44Yeah.
00:18:45I know it's almost time for...
00:18:49Beau.
00:18:51...
00:18:56So, did the allergy medication work?
00:18:57You okay?
00:18:58Yes, I feel fine now, but Ashlyn, I'm telling you, I have no idea why I agreed to this.
00:19:04I mean, it's a book club.
00:19:06So, why do they care about someone coming in and showing them how to wrap a present?
00:19:11Well, he's obviously looking for another reason to see you again.
00:19:14Hello?
00:19:15No, I highly doubt that.
00:19:19I mean, he looks like he could be a member of the monarchy.
00:19:23Oh, so?
00:19:24We are the Parkers of St. Paul, all right?
00:19:27And it's time that you spent time with the real-life human man and not all the made-up ones in your books.
00:19:32Mm-hmm.
00:19:33Oh, you know, there is a mirror in the bathroom.
00:19:36And I prefer the light out here.
00:19:38Okay, Belle.
00:19:40Okay, Belle.
00:19:45Ash, have you dated at all since the divorce?
00:19:49Yeah, of course.
00:19:51I've swiped right, left, east, west, up, down, you know.
00:19:55But a relationship's just not for me right now.
00:19:58I have a lot on my plate, okay?
00:19:59It's all about me becoming a chef, all right?
00:20:01I am gonna walk into every restaurant in this town, and I am gonna show them my resume.
00:20:10Hmm.
00:20:11A little unorthodox, but that's a great idea.
00:20:15Try a cranberry brew bite.
00:20:16Go.
00:20:17Okay, okay.
00:20:18Go.
00:20:19Oh, okay, okay.
00:20:20Go.
00:20:24Mmm.
00:20:27Mmm.
00:20:30So good.
00:20:31Yep, see?
00:20:32You can't put that on a resume.
00:20:33No.
00:20:34No.
00:20:35Spectacular.
00:20:36You're so inventive.
00:20:40Okay, okay.
00:20:41Try my deviled eggs.
00:20:42Mm-hmm.
00:20:43Be my guest.
00:20:47Yeah.
00:20:48Okay.
00:20:52Mm-hmm.
00:20:54Ash!
00:20:55It's all good!
00:21:08No.
00:21:09No.
00:21:10Way.
00:21:11Kavanaugh Heritage Foundation estate.
00:21:13Nope.
00:21:14No, honey.
00:21:15You can do this.
00:21:16You can do this.
00:21:17You can do this.
00:21:19Kavanagh Heritage Foundation Estate.
00:21:24No.
00:21:25No, honey.
00:21:33You can do this.
00:21:35You can do this.
00:21:49Wow.
00:22:02Kavanagh.
00:22:04Bo Kavanagh.
00:22:05He's a Kavanagh.
00:22:06Come along.
00:22:08Am I doing a gift wrapping demo for thee, Clara Kavanagh?
00:22:13Holy cow.
00:22:14I think it was a vivid portrait of how one must reconcile love and passion with reason.
00:22:23Exactly.
00:22:24Reason.
00:22:26Anna went against the Russian bourgeois society and her husband.
00:22:30And what did she get?
00:22:31Utter tragedy.
00:22:33Sometimes love is simply not worth the destruction to public image.
00:22:37Hmm.
00:22:43Oh.
00:22:45Hi.
00:22:46You're Claire Kavanagh.
00:22:49Um, I'm Mia Parker.
00:22:51I'm just a huge fan of everything you do.
00:22:54That's very sweet.
00:22:55I'm sorry.
00:22:58Am I, am I interrupting?
00:23:00Oh, no.
00:23:00We're just discussing the themes of class and upper society and Anna Karenina.
00:23:05Tolstoy.
00:23:06Wow.
00:23:06That's, that's a dense one.
00:23:08Have you read it?
00:23:09A, a long time ago, but I, I prefer slightly simpler historical fiction.
00:23:16Like the Olivetti War.
00:23:19Um, more romantic historical fiction.
00:23:24Such as?
00:23:25Well, I love Christmas in Derbyshire.
00:23:28I see.
00:23:29My grandma Mimi, oh, we used to read it every Christmas and we loved to recite it even.
00:23:36My favorite quote was, the winter moon was uncommonly lovely, bright and bewitching.
00:23:45And everything looked remarkably beautiful under the influence of such a perfect sky.
00:23:54Afternoon, ladies.
00:23:57You've, you've read Christmas in Derbyshire?
00:24:01Once or twice.
00:24:02It's possible I may have wanted to grow up and be Mr. Wedgwood.
00:24:12Farley, good to see you.
00:24:13You too, Mother.
00:24:16So, Maya, I understand that you and your business partners are in charge of this year's St. Paul Christmas gala.
00:24:22How's it coming along?
00:24:24Uh, so far so good.
00:24:26Um, we just have to figure a few things out.
00:24:28Such as?
00:24:29Um, we are looking for one last item for the raffle.
00:24:33So, if there's anything you'd like to contribute, um, we'd be very appreciative.
00:24:38I see.
00:24:39I'll have a thing.
00:24:41Okay, thank you.
00:24:42Well, Maya, we don't want to waste any more of your precious time.
00:24:45The floor is yours.
00:24:46Don't stress.
00:24:48You'll be great.
00:24:51Carson, we'll get you all set up, Maya.
00:24:52Okay.
00:24:55So, one of the best things about the furuchiki technique is, if it's Christmas Eve and your last gift and you've run out of tape, there's no tape required to secure it.
00:25:08That's exquisite.
00:25:10Gorgeous.
00:25:12And if your gift isn't square, but perhaps more shaped like a wine bottle, just grab your cloth like so.
00:25:22Lay the bottle down, and you're going to fold, and fold again.
00:25:31This is the fun part.
00:25:33Roll.
00:25:34Just keep rolling, rolling.
00:25:37Twist, twist, twist.
00:25:38Twist, and then tie it at the top, and, well, why not add a little bit of garland.
00:25:49Easy peasy.
00:25:50Absolutely delightful.
00:25:52I can't wait to try some of these techniques at home.
00:25:55So glad to hear that.
00:25:57Well, that's the lunch bell.
00:26:00Thank you for all your help, Maya.
00:26:02Actually, it's me, uh, but, um.
00:26:05Well done.
00:26:09You're a rock star up here.
00:26:11You're like the Joan Jett of furuchiki.
00:26:14I get a little, well, passionate when I get carried away.
00:26:19Bo, darling, I'll meet you in the dining room.
00:26:22Penelope will be here any minute.
00:26:26Take care, dear.
00:26:28You are a very skilled little rapper.
00:26:32Thank you, Miss Kavanagh.
00:26:35Well, I'll help you pack up.
00:26:43I can't believe you didn't tell me that you were a Kavanagh.
00:26:46Does it matter?
00:26:48It would have been nice to know what I was walking into.
00:26:52Look at this place.
00:26:54You're right.
00:26:55I was worried if you knew, you wouldn't come.
00:26:58Probably right.
00:27:00And yet you agreed to come today.
00:27:03I did.
00:27:04Should I be flattered?
00:27:09Perhaps.
00:27:10Or like my sister says, I have a hard time saying no to people.
00:27:14Oh.
00:27:15If that's the case,
00:27:18maybe I should give it a go.
00:27:21Give what a go?
00:27:22It's a little awkward for me.
00:27:24Would you like to go to lunch with me tomorrow?
00:27:27I know a great spot in the West End.
00:27:30Wow.
00:27:31I would, but I'm volunteering at the community kitchen.
00:27:37They're having a tree lighting ceremony, and I promised I would help out.
00:27:41Yeah, right.
00:27:43Friday?
00:27:43Church bake sale on Friday.
00:27:47I'm starting to feel a little rejected.
00:27:48No, no.
00:27:49Just come to the community kitchen.
00:27:52We're always looking for an extra pair of hands.
00:27:55Serve lunch.
00:27:57Yeah?
00:27:58If you want to.
00:27:59No, I would, yeah.
00:28:02Well, I'm so sorry I'm late.
00:28:04My breakfast at the embassy took far too long.
00:28:09Penny, this is Mia.
00:28:11Oh, hi.
00:28:12The gift wrapper, right?
00:28:13I'm so sorry I missed it.
00:28:14How did it go?
00:28:14I, it, when, well, I, I think those ladies can be so stuffy sometimes.
00:28:20I'm glad that you were able to get through it.
00:28:24Penelope.
00:28:25Speaking of stuffy.
00:28:28Oh, you made it.
00:28:31Darling, it is so good to see you.
00:28:34Hi, Claire.
00:28:34Hey.
00:28:35Oh, you look ravishing.
00:28:37Doesn't she, Mo?
00:28:39Always.
00:28:39Oh, I must show you the dress that I'm going to be wearing to the Christmas gala.
00:28:43It is divine.
00:28:44It is a Cindy Cordella original.
00:28:48Amazing.
00:28:49I can't wait.
00:28:50Okay, well then, chop, chop, chop.
00:28:51The quiche is getting cold.
00:28:54Coming.
00:28:56It was nice to meet you, Mia.
00:28:58You too.
00:29:01I should go.
00:29:02Um, thank you.
00:29:04Mia, wait, hold on.
00:29:05You know, thank you for inviting me today, Bo.
00:29:07Um, have a good Christmas.
00:29:12Bo?
00:29:13No.
00:29:40Hearts break around the country as Bo Cavanaugh
00:29:42steps out with his now betrothed, Penelope Martin.
00:29:57Got a delivery here for Mia Parker.
00:30:01There.
00:30:05Okay.
00:30:07That's one less thing I have to worry about.
00:30:10It looks so good.
00:30:19No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:30:26No.
00:30:30I'm panicked.
00:30:31I'm panicked.
00:30:32I'm panicked.
00:30:32I'm panicked.
00:30:34Okay.
00:30:35Here we go.
00:30:38Hi.
00:30:38Hi.
00:30:39Is this the party?
00:30:39Boutique.
00:30:40This is Mia Parker.
00:30:42Okay.
00:30:42Yes.
00:30:43Well, I think there's been a mix-up with my order.
00:30:45I think you sent me the wrong package, so.
00:30:50A manufacturing issue.
00:30:53Okay.
00:30:53So when is this manufacturing issue going to get resolved?
00:30:58Not until the new year.
00:31:00Okay.
00:31:01No, no, no.
00:31:01Please.
00:31:01Hello?
00:31:02Hello?
00:31:06Oh, no.
00:31:10I don't know why.
00:31:10I'm going to be late.
00:31:11I'm going to be so late.
00:31:12I'm going to be...
00:31:13And some fetch for you.
00:31:23And...
00:31:24Merry Christmas, Steve.
00:31:33Merry Christmas.
00:31:33Merry Christmas.
00:31:34Oh, you can't be serious.
00:31:47What are you doing here?
00:31:49I thought you invited me.
00:31:51Did you bring Penelope?
00:31:54Mia, I can explain.
00:31:57Let me help you.
00:31:58I don't think this is a good idea, Beau.
00:32:04What?
00:32:05You being here.
00:32:08Why is that?
00:32:10Because you're engaged.
00:32:12My situation with Penelope is complicated.
00:32:17I'm sure it is.
00:32:19Someone like me, you know, heir to the Kavanaugh Foundation,
00:32:25is expected to be with a certain type of person.
00:32:28Penelope has practically been chosen for me.
00:32:35My mother wants us to get married
00:32:37so as to keep the Kavanaugh Foundation protected.
00:32:41So what's the problem, then?
00:32:44As far as I can see, she's smart and kind and...
00:32:49possibly stunning.
00:32:51The problem is...
00:32:53she's like a sister to me.
00:32:56We went to boarding school together.
00:32:58Well, then why don't you just call it off?
00:33:01We planned to.
00:33:02But we just haven't found the right time.
00:33:06My mother would be devastated.
00:33:08Her family would be devastated.
00:33:11It'd be easier for everyone
00:33:12if we just got married.
00:33:15But you're not in love.
00:33:16It seems like love comes secondary in my world.
00:33:26Well, you know what Mr. Wedgwood would say about love.
00:33:31Love is like the sun.
00:33:33It makes our hearts bloom.
00:33:35Bloom into a garden of eternal enchantment.
00:33:40Without which...
00:33:43life would be meaningless.
00:33:50Oh!
00:33:52Sorry.
00:33:54Merry Christmas.
00:33:56Merry Christmas.
00:33:57Are you Bo Kavanaugh?
00:34:07Depends on who's asking.
00:34:09This is perfect.
00:34:11Would you mind doing the tree lighting with Mia?
00:34:14It would really help garner more attention to the organization.
00:34:18Yeah, I'd love to.
00:34:18Oh, thank you.
00:34:23It's been another successful year here
00:34:26at St. Paul Community Kitchen.
00:34:28And we could not have done it
00:34:30without the generous donations from the community.
00:34:33As well as our incredible volunteers.
00:34:37One such volunteer?
00:34:39Mia Parker.
00:34:40Who has been a regular server here
00:34:42for almost five years now.
00:34:45Give it up.
00:34:48So, who's ready?
00:34:52Three, two, one.
00:34:57Let there be light.
00:34:59Oh, Merry Christmas, everyone.
00:35:04It's beautiful.
00:35:07I couldn't agree more.
00:35:13I know I know.
00:35:14I know.
00:35:14Thank you for coming today.
00:35:25You really made everyone's day.
00:35:28I think it's pretty amazing
00:35:29that you've been volunteering here
00:35:31once a week for five years.
00:35:33It says a lot about you.
00:35:36So does the work that you and your mom do
00:35:38with the Kavanaugh Foundation.
00:35:40It's easy to send money to places,
00:35:44but to be on the ground
00:35:46with real people,
00:35:48that's where change happens.
00:35:50It's inspiring.
00:35:53Well, you guys do more than just
00:35:54send money.
00:35:57I mean, you look out for the needs
00:35:59of so many important organizations
00:36:01and small businesses.
00:36:04That's a lot of work.
00:36:05Oh, thank you.
00:36:11Can I see you again tomorrow?
00:36:14I don't think that's a good idea, Beau.
00:36:17I know my circumstances are a bit strange, but...
00:36:20Sorry, I just...
00:36:22I have to work all day,
00:36:24and I still have to figure out
00:36:27the decorations for the St. Paul Gala,
00:36:29and I have to meet with the photographer.
00:36:31Oh, you need some help?
00:36:32No, I'm fine.
00:36:33You really don't like taking help
00:36:36from people, do you?
00:36:38I usually have more luck
00:36:39relying on myself.
00:36:45My sister and I,
00:36:46we were raised by my grandma,
00:36:48and I just...
00:36:50I didn't like to stress her out
00:36:52with things, so I just
00:36:53tried to figure out my own solutions.
00:36:56And is this the grandma
00:36:57that you used to recite
00:36:59Christmas in Derbyshire with?
00:37:01Yeah.
00:37:04That's the one.
00:37:07Yeah, she passed away three years ago,
00:37:09just...
00:37:10I miss her a lot this time of year.
00:37:13I know what you mean.
00:37:18My father got sick
00:37:19when I was a teenager.
00:37:21Christmases are hard without him.
00:37:28I'm sorry.
00:37:30His final words to me
00:37:32were to promise to
00:37:33take care of my mother
00:37:34and make sure that
00:37:36the Kavanaugh Foundation
00:37:38stays alive.
00:37:41That must feel like
00:37:43a lot of pressure.
00:37:43Yeah.
00:37:48Yeah, it's...
00:37:50It's up to me
00:37:51to keep the
00:37:52family legacy going.
00:37:54And my mother expects
00:37:55only pure excellence.
00:38:01Well, from what I can tell,
00:38:02you're the face
00:38:04of pure excellence.
00:38:08You think so, huh?
00:38:09Okay, just relax.
00:38:23Don't worry, Lily.
00:38:24Everything is under control,
00:38:26so just please tell
00:38:28Tina not to panic.
00:38:29How are we going to get
00:38:30new decorations
00:38:31this close to Christmas?
00:38:33Hello?
00:38:34Mia?
00:38:37Mia?
00:38:37Um, well,
00:38:40I...
00:38:41I will figure it out.
00:38:43Okay?
00:38:44Promise.
00:38:45I always find a way.
00:38:50Um, hello?
00:38:52Way to tell me
00:38:53you were on a date
00:38:53with the prince.
00:38:54You went on a date?
00:38:57Lily, I've got to go.
00:38:58I'll call you back.
00:38:59Look at all the likes
00:39:00and comments.
00:39:01People are even speculating
00:39:02you two are a thing.
00:39:05No, that's not a good thing.
00:39:07W-why?
00:39:11He's engaged.
00:39:13Engaged?
00:39:14Seriously?
00:39:16Apparently, they're-
00:39:16they're planning on
00:39:17calling it off
00:39:18when the time is right.
00:39:19They're just pretending
00:39:20to be a couple
00:39:21to, uh,
00:39:22appease their families.
00:39:23Hmm.
00:39:25Okay.
00:39:27So when are you
00:39:27going to see him again?
00:39:28Well, he-
00:39:32he wanted to see me today,
00:39:34but I-
00:39:36I told him no.
00:39:37Mia!
00:39:38Look, I-
00:39:38I can't be spending time
00:39:40with someone
00:39:40who's engaged.
00:39:41It just-
00:39:42doesn't seem like
00:39:43the responsible choice.
00:39:46It's complicated, so...
00:39:48Ash,
00:39:48I don't want to talk about it.
00:39:49So,
00:39:53how did the restaurant
00:39:55op-ing go?
00:39:57Superb.
00:39:58I got an interview
00:39:59at Salvador's.
00:40:00You're kidding!
00:40:01Yeah, no!
00:40:02What, just from
00:40:02walking in and giving them
00:40:04your appetizers?
00:40:05Yeah, I'm telling you.
00:40:06Good things come to people
00:40:08who take risks.
00:40:09Why do I feel like
00:40:11you're trying
00:40:12to tell me something?
00:40:13Look, I'm busy.
00:40:15I have work to do.
00:40:16But consider what I said.
00:40:18There's nothing wrong
00:40:19with a little eye candy.
00:40:21Okay?
00:40:21Okay?
00:40:39Morning, Mom.
00:40:52What is this?
00:40:54What?
00:40:55Why were you at
00:40:56the St. Paul Community Kitchen
00:40:57with the gift wrapper?
00:41:00Her name is Mia.
00:41:02Answer the question,
00:41:03Beauregard.
00:41:03Mom, relax.
00:41:05It's not a big deal.
00:41:06Not a big deal.
00:41:07Listen to this.
00:41:08Beau Cavanaugh
00:41:10and a mystery girl
00:41:11were seen looking cozy together
00:41:12at the St. Paul Community Kitchen
00:41:14tree lighting ceremony.
00:41:17Could this mean
00:41:17that Penelope Martin
00:41:18is no longer in the picture?
00:41:21It's just a silly article.
00:41:23It's going to be
00:41:24old news by tomorrow.
00:41:25And what about
00:41:26poor Penelope?
00:41:26How does she feel
00:41:27about all this?
00:41:29I'm sure she
00:41:30finds the whole thing amusing.
00:41:34I think it's time
00:41:35you set a date.
00:41:36Here we go.
00:41:37I called the Biltmore.
00:41:39They had an opening
00:41:39on February 22nd.
00:41:41Mom, I don't know.
00:41:42I do.
00:41:43I booked it.
00:41:45What?
00:41:46It's like two months away.
00:41:48Why the rush?
00:41:49Someday soon,
00:41:50you'll inherit
00:41:51this organization.
00:41:52And a single man
00:41:53won't be taken seriously
00:41:55in the position.
00:41:56But Mom...
00:41:56No.
00:41:57Beau,
00:41:57it is time for you
00:41:58to grow up.
00:42:00No more messing around.
00:42:01This foundation
00:42:03relies on you
00:42:04to be a man
00:42:05of integrity
00:42:05and commitment.
00:42:16I ordered garlands,
00:42:18not marlins.
00:42:21You're sick.
00:42:22What do you mean
00:42:23you have no decorations left?
00:42:24No,
00:42:25every other photographer
00:42:26in town is already booked.
00:42:27Why were they sent
00:42:28to Pittsburgh?
00:42:28All you can offer me
00:42:30is a refund.
00:42:31How sick are we talking here?
00:42:32No,
00:42:33thank you.
00:42:36Okay.
00:42:38Hey, you.
00:42:39Hi.
00:42:40Um,
00:42:40I'm sorry.
00:42:41I didn't know
00:42:41who else to call.
00:42:42Just Tina,
00:42:43Lily,
00:42:44and Olivia.
00:42:44They've got their own
00:42:45gala duties
00:42:45and I don't want
00:42:46to bother them.
00:42:47Hey, hey, hey.
00:42:48I'm here.
00:42:49Tell me what you need.
00:42:50Well, uh,
00:42:54I,
00:42:55the last few days
00:42:57have been catastrophic.
00:42:58Everything I ordered
00:42:59has come in wrong.
00:43:00I have no decorations.
00:43:02I just found out
00:43:03that the photographer
00:43:04who's supposed
00:43:04to take the picture
00:43:05for the mistletoe panorama
00:43:06can't do it.
00:43:07I,
00:43:07I still need
00:43:09to bake cookies
00:43:09for the church bake sale
00:43:11and I still need
00:43:11a big ticket item
00:43:12for the raffle.
00:43:13Okay, okay, okay.
00:43:15Slow down.
00:43:16Let's take things
00:43:17one at a time.
00:43:18Okay?
00:43:18Okay.
00:43:18What's a mistletoe panorama?
00:43:23It's for all the couples
00:43:25to take a picture
00:43:25in front of
00:43:26at the Christmas gala.
00:43:27I need a romantic,
00:43:30wintry shot
00:43:30of St. Paul
00:43:31in the background
00:43:32and then,
00:43:33I don't know.
00:43:35Cool.
00:43:36You need a photo taken.
00:43:38Mm-hmm.
00:43:38I can help with that.
00:43:41You can?
00:43:45This place is beautiful.
00:43:48How did you find out
00:43:49about it?
00:43:50My grandma Mimi
00:43:51used to bring
00:43:52my sister and I here.
00:43:54We spent hours
00:43:55building forts
00:43:56and hunting
00:43:57for buried treasure.
00:43:59But mostly,
00:44:00I would read
00:44:01while they had
00:44:01played in the creek.
00:44:04I know I never met her,
00:44:06but I'm quite positive
00:44:09she'd be proud
00:44:10of the person
00:44:10you've become.
00:44:14So would your dad.
00:44:15not so much.
00:44:19I spend most of my time
00:44:20pretending I'm somebody
00:44:22I'm not
00:44:22to keep up appearances.
00:44:25That must be exhausting.
00:44:28It is.
00:44:32When I'm with you,
00:44:34I really feel like myself.
00:44:37You do?
00:44:38Is that crazy?
00:44:42I've spent most of my life
00:44:45hiding behind paperwork
00:44:47and books.
00:44:50But when you're around,
00:44:51I feel seen.
00:44:54I've never had that before.
00:44:57Why do you think
00:44:57you spend so much time hiding?
00:45:01I don't know.
00:45:02I guess I just never really felt
00:45:05that I belonged.
00:45:06And my sister was the
00:45:08extroverted, popular one
00:45:10that was always too cool
00:45:11to hang out with me.
00:45:12And I just never really felt
00:45:15that I was enough.
00:45:17Hey.
00:45:20You are more than enough.
00:45:23You're one of the most
00:45:24beautiful people
00:45:25I've ever met.
00:45:26You shouldn't be
00:45:31here
00:45:32together
00:45:34alone.
00:45:38It's not appropriate.
00:45:41Mia.
00:45:43I promise you
00:45:44it's going to be different soon.
00:45:49I don't think I should spend time
00:45:50with someone who has a fiancée.
00:45:53She's my not-fiancée.
00:45:55Really?
00:45:58I don't know
00:45:58what that means.
00:46:02It's because
00:46:03you're not a Kavanaugh.
00:46:11We should just
00:46:12take the picture
00:46:13and go.
00:46:16Yeah.
00:46:17You're right.
00:46:18Of course.
00:46:19Um,
00:46:20it's this way.
00:46:21Okay.
00:46:24Penelope?
00:46:41Oh, hi.
00:46:42Um,
00:46:43Mia, right?
00:46:43Right.
00:46:44Yeah.
00:46:45Are you okay?
00:46:47I'm fine.
00:46:47No offense.
00:46:50You don't look fine.
00:46:52It's complicated.
00:46:55So I've been told.
00:46:58He really hasn't told you?
00:47:01Told me what?
00:47:02Have you heard of Damien West?
00:47:04The senator's son?
00:47:06He's my boyfriend.
00:47:07We met last year
00:47:08at a debate
00:47:08and he's the son
00:47:09of my dad's opponent.
00:47:11And you two are together?
00:47:12We're in love.
00:47:13Oh, wow.
00:47:15That,
00:47:16that really is complicated.
00:47:18It would create
00:47:19a media frenzy
00:47:20if the press
00:47:21found out the truth.
00:47:22Right.
00:47:25Wow.
00:47:25Uh,
00:47:26you and Beau are just,
00:47:27that's a tough spot.
00:47:28Oh, you have no idea.
00:47:30I mean,
00:47:30we do this dance
00:47:31to appease our families
00:47:32and Beau promised
00:47:32that until I'm ready
00:47:33to tell my parents
00:47:34about Damien
00:47:34he'd keep it a secret.
00:47:35So,
00:47:36I just,
00:47:37I thought we had more time.
00:47:40I'm sorry.
00:47:44So,
00:47:45you,
00:47:46you really don't
00:47:47have feelings for Beau?
00:47:50I mean,
00:47:50at first,
00:47:51we gave it our best shot.
00:47:54But,
00:47:54it didn't take long
00:47:55for us to realize
00:47:56that we were just friends.
00:47:57But my parents were thrilled
00:47:59and Beau has trouble
00:48:00disappointing his mother.
00:48:02Plus,
00:48:02I think he's quite smitten
00:48:04with someone else.
00:48:11I'm glad you called me.
00:48:12Well,
00:48:13I am working on this whole
00:48:14asking for help thing.
00:48:16So,
00:48:17we need two teaspoons
00:48:18of vanilla next.
00:48:26I said two teaspoons
00:48:28of vanilla,
00:48:29not tablespoons.
00:48:32Oh.
00:48:33Oh.
00:48:34In my opinion,
00:48:35you can't have enough vanilla.
00:48:37And you know that the church
00:48:38is going to ban me
00:48:39from attending after this.
00:48:40Okay,
00:48:41no way.
00:48:41Finally,
00:48:42Christmas morning
00:48:44has arrived.
00:48:49Now,
00:48:49every single little thing
00:48:51will be
00:48:52just
00:48:54fine.
00:48:58Baby,
00:48:59baby,
00:49:00you know,
00:49:00I think it's really noble
00:49:01that you haven't told
00:49:03anyone about.
00:49:04Penelope and Damien,
00:49:05you're a loyal friend.
00:49:09Well,
00:49:09when I make a promise,
00:49:10I mean it.
00:49:13Just like Mr. Wedgwood,
00:49:14huh?
00:49:16Hmm.
00:49:17I hope you don't think
00:49:18I'm as perfect as he is.
00:49:20Well,
00:49:21I don't know about that.
00:49:22tomorrow.
00:49:30Can I
00:49:30take you somewhere?
00:49:34Where?
00:49:37Yesterday,
00:49:38you showed me
00:49:38a place that's close
00:49:39to your heart.
00:49:41I want to show you
00:49:42a place that's close
00:49:43to mine.
00:49:45Okay.
00:49:46Okay.
00:49:48Oh,
00:49:49you got a little something
00:49:49on your, uh,
00:49:50nose?
00:49:52Oh,
00:49:53okay.
00:49:54Okay.
00:49:55Okay.
00:50:03Ashlyn!
00:50:04Um,
00:50:05are you okay?
00:50:07I didn't get the job
00:50:09at Salvador's today.
00:50:11I'm sorry, Ash.
00:50:13Hi,
00:50:14I'm Bo.
00:50:16I'm Mia's
00:50:17divorced
00:50:18and employed sister.
00:50:20Okay.
00:50:22Well,
00:50:24I'll leave you
00:50:25to it.
00:50:34Nice to meet you,
00:50:35Bo.
00:50:36Yeah.
00:50:36You too.
00:50:43Um,
00:50:44I guess these are ready
00:50:45to go in?
00:50:46Yes.
00:50:47Uh,
00:50:47350.
00:50:48Okay.
00:50:49350.
00:50:51350.
00:50:52350.
00:50:52Right.
00:50:52Right.
00:50:52So,
00:50:59I said,
00:51:03Um,
00:51:11yeah,
00:51:11that's true.
00:51:13I don't know what's way,
00:51:14I don't know.
00:51:16Uh,
00:51:16I'm Simon.
00:51:18I'm never petui game,
00:51:19I'm never petui.
00:51:20You gotta be kidding me.
00:51:50This is Duke.
00:51:55He's beautiful.
00:51:58This whole place is beautiful.
00:52:04Yeah, I built it from the ground up about ten years ago now.
00:52:08We take in retired racehorses.
00:52:10Give them a safe haven to call home.
00:52:12They must take a lot of looking after.
00:52:14They do.
00:52:15It's an excuse to work with my hands so that I'm not in meetings all day.
00:52:20You want to brush and sweeping strokes in the direction the hair grows.
00:52:28You got it.
00:52:30You always had a love for horses?
00:52:33Ever since I read Christmas in Derbyshire, I've just been enamored by horses.
00:52:38The way Mr. Wedgler took care of old Reginald.
00:52:40I've had a soft spot ever since.
00:52:46I know this isn't maybe what you expected.
00:52:50But I wanted to show you a different side of me.
00:52:53The real me.
00:52:56Well, this is perfect.
00:52:58I can't think of anything else I'd rather be doing.
00:53:03Hey.
00:53:05So, tomorrow night, my mom is hosting this small gathering at the house.
00:53:11And by house, you mean palace, right?
00:53:14It's tradition.
00:53:15I'd like it if you'd come.
00:53:20Bo, I...
00:53:21I don't want to ruffle any feathers.
00:53:23Who cares about a few ruffled feathers?
00:53:25We'll eat, we'll dance.
00:53:27And afterwards, I'll have the staff gather up all of the decorations,
00:53:31and you can have it for the gala.
00:53:33Really?
00:53:34I think it'd be good for my mom to get to know you better.
00:53:38So, we have a deal?
00:53:39Well, that's if you can drag me away from Duke here,
00:53:47because I think he might have just stolen my heart.
00:53:51So you'll come.
00:53:55I'll be there.
00:54:09Mmm, smells good in here.
00:54:11Yeah.
00:54:12Well, dinner will be ready in 30 minutes.
00:54:14Hope you're hungry.
00:54:15I'm going out tonight.
00:54:16Didn't I tell you?
00:54:18But I made all this food.
00:54:21Look, I'm sorry, Ash.
00:54:24It's just...
00:54:26Well...
00:54:28Bo invited me to a holiday party his mom is hosting at the estate, so...
00:54:33A holiday party his mom is hosting?
00:54:35Don't you think you're taking this whole thing a little too far?
00:54:39What do you mean?
00:54:41You're the one that encouraged me to see him.
00:54:43Yeah, have a little fun, not start going to family events.
00:54:47I mean, don't you think you're jumping into this a little fast?
00:54:50You barely know the guy.
00:54:53You're setting yourself up to get hurt.
00:54:58Well, thanks for the pep talk.
00:55:00You know what?
00:55:00Do you think that maybe you're just mad because I'm the one that's invited to a fun event
00:55:04and I'm finally not in your shadow anymore?
00:55:06Excuse me?
00:55:07What?
00:55:09Forget it.
00:55:12You know, I'm...
00:55:13I've finished getting ready.
00:55:15Well, the Lafferty Group is a non-profit, though, so their focus is food safety, not education.
00:55:34Right, but I'm sure they'll still want to partner with us on the project.
00:55:37In my experience, it is very hard to say no to Claire Kavanaugh.
00:55:41What do you think, Beau?
00:55:45Beau, darling, huh?
00:55:47Did I just ask you a question?
00:55:51Oh, sorry, just give me a minute.
00:55:54Isn't that the gift wrapper?
00:56:00Who's question?
00:56:03Wow.
00:56:04You're a vision.
00:56:07Really?
00:56:09I feel like an imposter.
00:56:11Nonsense.
00:56:12You're my guest and a beautiful one at that.
00:56:16Well, you know the only reason I came is because I thought that Oprah might be here.
00:56:22Yeah, unfortunately she couldn't make it this year.
00:56:26So you're kind of stuck with me.
00:56:28Well, I suppose that'll have to do.
00:56:33Come with me.
00:56:37Mia Parker.
00:56:39I didn't expect to see you here.
00:56:41That makes two of us.
00:56:43It was a bit of a last-minute decision.
00:56:46I tried the Fukushimi, but it's a lot harder than it looks.
00:56:51Yeah, see, Furoshiki technique.
00:56:53It does take a little bit of time to handle.
00:56:55Beau, where is Penelope?
00:57:00I'm sure she's just running behind.
00:57:06Can we expect a night to remember at the St. Paul Christmas Gala this year, Mia?
00:57:11Absolutely.
00:57:12Everything is coming into place, thanks to Beau.
00:57:18Ho, ho, ho.
00:57:19Who here would like to...
00:57:25Poor Carson.
00:57:27She makes him do this every year and he hates it.
00:57:29Who here would like to tell me what they want for Christmas this year?
00:57:32Oh, new set of golf clubs, please.
00:57:35You wish.
00:57:37Jewelry, Santa, all the jewelry.
00:57:41And what about you?
00:57:42Honestly, I'd love a first-edition Christmas in Derbyshire book.
00:57:51A first-edition Derbyshire book.
00:57:54That's a high order, even for Santa.
00:57:57But there is a copy at Arthur's Book Bazaar.
00:58:01I've been saving it for a year now.
00:58:03You're kidding.
00:58:04You're going to have to take me some time.
00:58:06I'd love that.
00:58:07Yeah.
00:58:08Sorry, I'm late.
00:58:11I had a long phone call.
00:58:13It's okay, love.
00:58:14You were just in time for the first dance Christmas waltz.
00:58:18Is that necessary, Mother?
00:58:21Of course it is.
00:58:22It's tradition.
00:58:23Now go.
00:58:30Excuse me.
00:58:38Now when on earth are they going to announce the wedding date?
00:58:44Any day now.
00:58:45Between you and me, the date has officially been set.
00:58:49February 22nd at the Biltmore.
00:58:52You're kidding.
00:58:54Finally.
00:58:55This is just fabulous.
00:58:57I'm going to try to get him to announce it on Christmas Day at the St. Paul Gala.
00:59:02Hmm.
00:59:02Hmm.
00:59:08Mia.
00:59:13Mia.
00:59:16Where are you going?
00:59:18Home.
00:59:19Where I should have been all night.
00:59:21Home with my sister.
00:59:23This is just a silly tradition.
00:59:26Poe, your wedding is booked?
00:59:29Who told you that?
00:59:31Poe, why did you even invite me here tonight?
00:59:35Because I wanted you here.
00:59:36You're marrying someone else.
00:59:40Can't you say no?
00:59:42Are you, are you really that scared of disappointing your mother that you're willing to sacrifice your own happiness?
00:59:49This isn't just about my mom, Mia.
00:59:52This is about my dad, too.
00:59:55I made a promise.
00:59:58You think he would be proud?
01:00:00Of you for not standing up for yourself?
01:00:04For what you want?
01:00:05I doubt that.
01:00:12Good night, Bo.
01:00:15I hope you and Penelope live happily ever after.
01:00:17I know you're rushing off, but I may do something special.
01:00:44Aren't you going to be late for work?
01:00:52I'll go in later.
01:00:54You're never late.
01:00:59What happened?
01:01:04Bo is going to marry Penelope.
01:01:06What?
01:01:07Yeah.
01:01:07Go ahead.
01:01:09Just say it.
01:01:11Tell me I told you so.
01:01:14Get it over with.
01:01:15Mia, I am so sorry.
01:01:22I shouldn't have said anything.
01:01:24I was feeling down about myself, and I took it out on you like I always have.
01:01:30I guess I just let jealousy get the better of me.
01:01:33Jealous of what?
01:01:34I mean, you're so put together, responsible, smart.
01:01:42People really respect you.
01:01:46Your friends adore you.
01:01:47Not to mention you have your own successful business.
01:01:50I guess I can't even get a second interview anywhere.
01:01:58Ash, I've always been jealous of you.
01:02:03You were so popular and outgoing.
01:02:15And boys, they fell to their knees for you.
01:02:22And Mimi, oh, she adored you.
01:02:28She loved cooking with you.
01:02:30I'm just glad she's not here to see what a failure I am.
01:02:36You're not a failure.
01:02:39Ash, look, you're just going through a tough time right now.
01:02:43And she'd be so proud of how strong you are.
01:02:48Look, you don't let anyone tell you who to be or what to do.
01:02:55You're real.
01:02:56And I admire that so much.
01:03:01Really?
01:03:01Yeah, completely.
01:03:08But sometimes I just...
01:03:10I do wish you would consider my feelings more.
01:03:17Ash, I don't want to be that person
01:03:19who lets people walk all over them anymore.
01:03:23Not even you.
01:03:26You're right.
01:03:30I'm sorry I bolt-oze over your feelings sometimes.
01:03:34I'm sorry I avoid talking about Mimi.
01:03:40It just hurts.
01:03:44I miss her so much.
01:03:46I know.
01:03:47But she's still here.
01:03:53Always.
01:03:56Yeah.
01:03:57Yeah.
01:04:04So?
01:04:06What are you going to do about Beau?
01:04:07I think reading about love is easier than falling for the real thing.
01:04:14You deserve the greatest love story.
01:04:22Thank you, Ash.
01:04:27But I think I need to get my head out of the clouds.
01:04:30Arthur?
01:04:42Arthur?
01:04:43Arthur, are you here?
01:04:47Hi, Mia.
01:04:49Are you okay?
01:04:50You look a little down.
01:04:52Well,
01:04:53I have some bad news.
01:04:56What?
01:04:56Oh, no.
01:05:08Where's my baby?
01:05:10I'm so sorry, Mia.
01:05:13Randy was covering for me while I was out doing some last-minute shopping,
01:05:16and it's sold.
01:05:19It's gone.
01:05:20Just like that.
01:05:27You know, I was getting so close.
01:05:33Who bought it?
01:05:35He said it was some posh woman.
01:05:37I think her name was Claire.
01:05:41Claire?
01:05:44Claire Kavanaugh?
01:05:46Do you know her?
01:05:47Hi.
01:06:04No.
01:06:06No, please don't tell me...
01:06:08The flu.
01:06:10Look,
01:06:11the party's in a few days, so...
01:06:12How am I supposed to decorate the Alfred house all on my own?
01:06:15Can I call you back?
01:06:31This isn't a good time, Bo.
01:06:34Mia,
01:06:34I'm so sorry.
01:06:36I want to make it up to you.
01:06:38I just don't know how.
01:06:39I don't know how.
01:06:39You know, getting to know you has been incredible.
01:06:54And I wouldn't change that for the world.
01:06:59But I deserve to be with someone who will fight for me.
01:07:04He's willing to stand up to their family for me.
01:07:12You're right.
01:07:14And you deserve the world.
01:07:18Just not yours.
01:07:20You belong anywhere you want to belong.
01:07:23Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
01:07:25If there's one thing I've learned since meeting you,
01:07:29it's that we all have a voice.
01:07:32And it's our own responsibility to use it.
01:07:37Even if it disappoints others.
01:07:41So I have to say,
01:07:43I think it would be better if we don't see each other anymore.
01:07:48You really mean that.
01:07:49I do.
01:07:50I have
01:07:54a lot of things to get on with.
01:07:58I'm busy.
01:08:00I'll have a truck come around tomorrow
01:08:02with the decorations.
01:08:20I'm busy.
01:08:40I'll have a truck come around tomorrow.
01:08:42I love you too.
01:08:42I love you too.
01:08:44I love you.
01:08:48I love you.
01:08:49Oh, yum, yum, yum.
01:09:07Look at these cuties.
01:09:08Oh, I'm going to put some sugar.
01:09:12Hi, Tina.
01:09:13I am just heading into the store.
01:09:16Mia, there's been an emergency.
01:09:19What is it now?
01:09:20The caterer's called and they had to cancel.
01:09:23What?
01:09:24No, no, no, this can't be happening.
01:09:26What are we going to do?
01:09:27The gala is in six days.
01:09:28And we literally have no food to serve.
01:09:30Yeah, and we can't host a party without food.
01:09:33People paid a lot of money for those tickets.
01:09:34I can't imagine the complaints we're going to get.
01:09:36This whole thing is a disaster.
01:09:38There has to be a solution.
01:09:40Who out there do we know that can cook for that many people with only a week's notice?
01:09:44Yeah.
01:09:45Ooh.
01:09:45Yeah.
01:09:49I know who.
01:09:50Just leave it with me.
01:09:58What are you up to?
01:10:00Oh, just working on my resume.
01:10:01What's up?
01:10:02Great.
01:10:03How about we put it to use?
01:10:06Huh?
01:10:07What do you mean?
01:10:08I want to hire you.
01:10:11I'm sorry.
01:10:13The caterer's for the Christmas gala.
01:10:16I can't make it anymore.
01:10:18Please, Ash.
01:10:20I need you.
01:10:21The big gala.
01:10:23But I've never been in charge of something important like that before.
01:10:26You really think I can pull this off?
01:10:28Completely.
01:10:30You got this.
01:10:30Okay, I'm in.
01:10:33I'm in.
01:10:34Yeah.
01:10:34Okay, cool.
01:10:35Wait.
01:10:36We need supplies.
01:10:36We're going to need plate warmers.
01:10:38We're going to need cupcake towers.
01:10:39Portable grills.
01:10:42Money.
01:10:44I don't have any rights.
01:10:54Just give me a second.
01:10:55Okay.
01:10:55Uh-uh.
01:11:02No.
01:11:03Mm-mm.
01:11:03That's your hard-earned money.
01:11:06Look, Ash.
01:11:07The book is gone.
01:11:10And I want to invest in Ashlyn Parker catering.
01:11:15So just...
01:11:16Just pay me back when you're a success.
01:11:22I won't let you down.
01:11:24I promise.
01:11:24Yes, I know.
01:11:39You bought the first edition Derbyshire book.
01:11:41How could you do that to Mia?
01:11:43You don't even like those books.
01:11:45Well, you know that I love collecting first editions.
01:11:48You've really crossed the line this time.
01:11:50You should be ashamed of yourself.
01:11:52Don't speak to me that way.
01:11:54Look, I should have said this to you a long time ago.
01:12:01But Penelope and I have been pretending to be in a relationship just to make you and everyone else happy.
01:12:08But I'm done.
01:12:08Wait, so this entire time, this has all been one big lie?
01:12:14I'm sorry, but I'm done playing some role to make everyone happy.
01:12:30I need to start using my voice.
01:12:33Well, I thought the two of you were happy.
01:12:37We're best friends.
01:12:38But we're not in love.
01:12:42The pressure from you and everyone...
01:12:47We didn't...
01:12:48We didn't know what to do.
01:12:52I should have never proposed.
01:12:54Well, I thought I was doing the right thing by pressuring you to commit.
01:12:59I know.
01:13:03Bo, if you're going to take over for this foundation, you're going to have to learn to speak up and stand up for what you believe in.
01:13:10Even if it isn't what people want to hear.
01:13:14Even you?
01:13:15Even me.
01:13:18And more importantly, you have to fight for love.
01:13:23At all costs.
01:13:25You're not listening.
01:13:28Penelope and I are not in love.
01:13:30I'm not talking about Penelope.
01:13:42Thanks for helping me with all this ash.
01:13:45You know, if I'm going to pull this off, I need at least 15 hours to decorate.
01:13:50Why didn't you ask anyone for help?
01:13:52Because I don't like bothering people.
01:13:55I will be back over to help as soon as I'm done shopping for supplies, okay?
01:13:58Okay.
01:13:58You got this.
01:13:59Huh.
01:14:03This is going to be a Christmas miracle.
01:14:09We're here!
01:14:10You guys!
01:14:11What are you doing here?
01:14:13Your sister texted us and told us you were planning on decorating by yourself today.
01:14:17Mia, are you nuts?
01:14:18This place is huge.
01:14:19Why didn't you tell us the decorator's canceled?
01:14:21Because you guys have enough on your plate.
01:14:23I just didn't want to add any more stress.
01:14:26We're a team, Mia.
01:14:27Your stress is our stress.
01:14:29Thank you, guys.
01:14:30This means so much.
01:14:32And Liv would have been here, too, but she still snowed in.
01:14:35Luckily, Michael and Haley are on their way to lend a helping hand.
01:14:39Oh, that's great.
01:14:40You know, the more the merrier.
01:14:41I'm here.
01:14:42I'm here.
01:14:42I'm here.
01:14:44And I brought some fuel to keep us on task.
01:14:46Oh, Arthur.
01:14:48Sorry I'm late.
01:14:49Wendy.
01:14:51I can't believe you guys all came to help me decorate.
01:14:53After everything you've done for us, all of us over the years, it's the least we can do.
01:14:58I don't know what to say.
01:15:01Thank you all.
01:15:03Okay, well, let's get started.
01:15:15A little higher.
01:15:16I remember when you approached the guy saying, good evening.
01:15:42what you get for an Asiago pear tart, too.
01:15:44Okay, go.
01:15:47Mia,
01:15:48you look
01:15:50wonderful. Thank you, Arthur.
01:15:54You did
01:15:54good, kid. Congratulations.
01:15:57All right, folks, next
01:15:58up, we have... Not bad, right?
01:16:00You should be proud of yourself.
01:16:04I am.
01:16:05Thank you, Arthur.
01:16:05It's so fine. Whoever wins it has to share.
01:16:08I love you.
01:16:08I don't mean to
01:16:11startle you, but Claire
01:16:13Cavanaugh just arrived.
01:16:15And the winner is...

01:17:08Um, I-I didn't put my name in.
01:17:16May I just
01:17:17see that?
01:17:22Just
01:17:22figured I would...

01:18:06I've been horrid
01:18:09to you, Mia.
01:18:10It's the least
01:18:11that I can do
01:18:12to try to make it up to you.
01:18:14I was just doing
01:18:15what I thought was right
01:18:16by pushing you away,
01:18:17but it was the wrong way
01:18:19to have treated you.
01:18:21This-this book,
01:18:23it's...
01:18:23it's too much.

01:18:32to the wrapping competitions.
01:18:33They'll be starting soon.
01:18:34But thank you
01:18:36for the book.
01:18:39You have no idea
01:18:40how much it means to me.
01:18:50Any sign of Olivia yet?
01:18:52She's on her way.
01:18:53Fingers crossed

01:20:27things moving along.
01:20:28No, no, no.
01:20:28Here she is.
01:20:31You made it.
01:20:32Oh, my goodness.
01:20:35You have no idea.
01:20:38Hi.
01:20:40More on that later.
01:20:41Right now,
01:20:42I've got a title
01:20:42to defend.
01:20:43We still have
01:20:44no mistletoe, though.
01:20:48Don't worry.
01:20:49I've got it covered.
01:20:57Look.
01:20:59This is the book?
01:21:02I think someone's
01:21:13here to see you.
01:21:14You came.
01:21:33You look beautiful.
01:21:37Um,
01:21:39where's Anelope?
01:21:42She's with Damien.
01:21:44She told her parents
01:21:46the truth.
01:21:48And so did I.
01:21:53You did.
01:21:56I did.
01:21:58And I've never felt
01:22:00better in my life.
01:22:04Mia,
01:22:04I know we haven't
01:22:07known each other
01:22:08for very long.
01:22:10But you mean
01:22:11so much to me.
01:22:12The feelings I have
01:22:15for you
01:22:16are more than
01:22:18I never knew possible.
01:22:21A wise man once said
01:22:23that love is like the sun.
01:22:29It makes our hearts
01:22:31bloom
01:22:31into a garden
01:22:33of eternal enchantment
01:22:34without which
01:22:36without which
01:22:36life would be meaningless.
01:22:41And,
01:22:42well, Mia,
01:22:43I think you're my
01:22:43garden of eternal enchantment.
01:22:47So,
01:22:49Mia Parker,
01:22:51will you do me the honor
01:22:52of taking a picture with me
01:22:55at the mistletoe panorama?
01:22:57I'd love to.
01:23:02Shall we?
01:23:04Yes.
01:23:13Here we go.
01:23:14Oh, sorry.
01:23:26Okay.
01:23:29Should I be coming in
01:23:30on horseback?
01:23:31I mean,
01:23:31that is what
01:23:32Mr. Wedgwood would do, right?
01:23:33Forget about Mr. Wedgwood.
01:23:36I only have eyes
01:23:37for Bo Kavanaugh.
01:23:38I don't know.
