00:01:08Fresh scones
00:01:10Hey Mallory
00:01:11Hey Colette
00:01:13Hot chocolate and a scone?
00:01:14Perfect, extra whipped cream on top please
00:01:16You got it
00:01:30Here you go
00:01:31You're the best
00:01:32See you tomorrow
00:01:33Good morning
00:01:34Thanks mom, I'll take over
00:01:40What did I do wrong?
00:01:42Nothing
00:01:43So particular
00:01:44Well it has to be done
00:01:45Just right
00:01:47Yes
00:01:48Now I just need to add the vanilla
00:01:50Colette
00:01:56Colette why don't you just use the liquid vanilla stuff?
00:01:58That's not how grandma Thea did it
00:02:00Always fresh
00:02:02So hard to please
00:02:03She appreciated fresh ingredients
00:02:05I don't see you milking a cow for that hot chocolate
00:02:08Don't forget to pack up the whipped cream mom
00:02:10Oh I'm saving that for last
00:02:12Just a few more minutes
00:02:14So are you still thinking about selling the recipe to grocery stores?
00:02:17Not selling the recipe but the drink
00:02:20Frank Banner and his company think it can go national
00:02:23How's it going to stay fresh though being trucked across the country?
00:02:26Dry mix
00:02:28Huh
00:02:29I'm working on it
00:02:31You don't think grandma Thea would mind do you?
00:02:33She'd be happy with whatever you decide
00:02:35Test it
00:02:38Just like grandma's?
00:02:39Just
00:02:40Good
00:02:41Better get going
00:02:42Christmas kickoff starts at 6
00:02:43Yes
00:02:44You're okay here?
00:02:45It's all under control
00:02:46Have fun
00:02:47Thanks
00:02:49Whipped cream?
00:02:50Oh
00:02:51What?
00:02:52Happy holidays
00:03:05Enjoy your hot chocolate
00:03:06Thank you
00:03:07I can run things here you know
00:03:10You should go look at the booths, buy something
00:03:13I don't need anything
00:03:14I don't need anything
00:03:15Are you sure?
00:03:16Not even one of those cute ornaments over there?
00:03:19No
00:03:20Do you need one of those?
00:03:22Hmm
00:03:23I need to get a tree first
00:03:24I haven't been able to get one yet this year
00:03:26I can go with you to pick one up
00:03:28How about tomorrow?
00:03:29Can we go during the week instead?
00:03:31Yeah
00:03:32Yeah, for sure
00:03:33Okay
00:03:34What can I get for you?
00:03:38Uh, can I just get a coffee please?
00:03:42You bet
00:03:43Colette's Cafe
00:03:46Do you have that place over on Holly Street?
00:03:50That's mine
00:03:51That's great
00:03:52I'm actually opening next door
00:03:55I'm Marcus by the way
00:03:56Oh
00:03:57Colette
00:03:58The one that's been under construction?
00:04:00Yeah
00:04:01We open Monday
00:04:02That's great
00:04:03What kind of business?
00:04:04It's a dessert shop
00:04:06Oh, yum
00:04:07It'll be nice to have a new neighbor
00:04:09Thanks
00:04:10I'm excited to get it all up and running
00:04:13Here's your coffee
00:04:14On the house
00:04:17Are you sure?
00:04:19Of course
00:04:20For my new neighbor
00:04:21Thank you
00:04:24Well, Merry Christmas
00:04:29Merry Christmas
00:04:30Merry Christmas
00:04:31Merry Christmas
00:04:35Merry Christmas indeed
00:04:37Mom, that's for the customers
00:04:50I'm free labor here
00:04:52You're drinking more than you're selling
00:04:54Alrighty then
00:04:55Why don't you let me run the booth and you skedaddle
00:04:58Mom has been planted
00:05:00I have so many hard work
00:05:02But I like the easy things
00:05:05One charge
00:05:07One push
00:05:11One touch
00:05:17One lap
00:05:23One click
00:05:25One X bat
00:05:27But
00:05:28Nope
00:05:29Take a break
00:05:30Go look at that ornament or something
00:05:33Fine
00:05:34Before you hand it to the customer
00:05:35Sprinkle a little cocoa on top
00:05:36Honey
00:05:37I watched my mother do this more than you did
00:05:41Now go
00:05:42Okay
00:05:51Here you go
00:05:52Merry Christmas
00:05:53Merry Christmas
00:06:09A gift?
00:06:10Or is that for you?
00:06:12Oh...
00:06:13A gift
00:06:14My mom was hinting she wanted one
00:06:17Nice choice
00:06:18Thanks
00:06:19Oh...
00:06:20Were you waiting for the hayride?
00:06:22Um...
00:06:23No
00:06:25Do you wanna come with me?
00:06:27I don't know
00:06:29The horses scare you?
00:06:31No...
00:06:32Hay makes me sneeze
00:06:34Even the dry stuff?
00:06:36I don't know actually
00:06:38Do you wanna risk it?
00:06:40Sure, why not?
00:06:41So...
00:06:42How long have you had your cafe?
00:06:52Five years I think
00:06:54Wow...
00:06:55That's impressive
00:06:56How'd you get started?
00:06:57I started selling coffee to people in college
00:07:01I had this little shack
00:07:03It was kinda like that booth back there actually
00:07:06But that was it
00:07:08Quite the entrepreneur
00:07:10After the shack I got a tiny shop
00:07:13It was more like a kiosk with a sink
00:07:16But it grew and grew and here I am
00:07:20How about you?
00:07:22I actually was more of a cook
00:07:26Pastry chef and whatnot
00:07:28Just rose through the ranks
00:07:29Working at a bunch of bakeries and restaurants
00:07:32But I wanted a place of my own
00:07:34Where I could sell my own creations
00:07:36So... you got it
00:07:38It's taken a bit of time
00:07:40A lot of things to arrange
00:07:41And money to save
00:07:42But I'm optimistic
00:07:44Why pastries?
00:07:46I have a killer sweet tooth
00:07:48No, I mean I do
00:07:51But I just grew up appreciating homemade desserts
00:07:55A buddy of mine and I used to joke about going into business together
00:07:59And this was the perfect combination of dessert and business
00:08:04Congratulations
00:08:06Thanks
00:08:07Thank you
00:08:18Yeah, thanks for coming
00:08:20This was fun
00:08:22It was
00:08:24And I look forward to being
00:08:27Neighbors?
00:08:29Exactly
00:08:33Well, see ya
00:08:35See ya
00:08:37See ya
00:09:07Add it again?
00:09:12I can't seem to get the dry version of the recipe to work
00:09:15Because it's never as good
00:09:17Not as good yet
00:09:19I'll figure it out
00:09:21Maybe a different creamer
00:09:23Frank Banner's here
00:09:25Oh, send him back
00:09:31Hi there Colette
00:09:33Hey Frank, I'm just fine tuning the recipe
00:09:34Good
00:09:35Want me to test it?
00:09:37Yeah, not yet
00:09:39So, I have news
00:09:41Three national grocery chains are interested
00:09:43I can line up promotions to go with it
00:09:44Demos, sampling
00:09:45And from there I think the product will speak for itself
00:09:48It's not ready yet
00:09:50And I do have to go to the contract still
00:09:52I just want you to realize the interest level we already have
00:09:55Great!
00:09:56Okay
00:09:58Alright, there's that for you
00:10:00How many forks?
00:10:01Just one
00:10:02Here you go
00:10:04Hey
00:10:05Hey, we'll have the hot chocolate please
00:10:06And a peanut butter cookie
00:10:08You got it
00:10:09Hey Jonathan, this one is on the house
00:10:11This is Steven
00:10:12Oh, the money guy
00:10:14My friend and business partner
00:10:16And his wife Angie
00:10:17You know, I was prepared to pay
00:10:18That's kind of like money going from one hand to the other
00:10:21Well, business looks really good
00:10:24Thanks, there's not exactly a line of customers out the door
00:10:27Yet
00:10:28But we've had a steady stream of people coming and going
00:10:31Good!
00:10:33Yeah
00:10:34Here we go
00:10:36Oh, this is amazing
00:10:38Mmm, I love this stuff
00:10:39Okay, good, well save some for me
00:10:41Marcus, I really want to get one of the Christmas pies
00:10:43Probably the chocolate marshmallow silk
00:10:45Can I pre-order it?
00:10:46Oh, yeah, we've actually had a few pie pre-orders today
00:10:49People are planning ahead
00:10:51Okay, good
00:10:52Well, add me to that list
00:10:53You got it
00:10:54Thank you
00:10:55We better get going
00:10:56Okay
00:10:57Alright, have fun at work
00:10:58Thanks, you too
00:10:59Keep that money coming in, huh?
00:11:15There you are
00:11:16Thank you
00:11:17Merry Christmas
00:11:19Hey, Colette
00:11:21Hi, Marcus
00:11:22How's your first day going?
00:11:23Pretty well
00:11:24What do you think?
00:11:25I like it
00:11:26What can I get for you?
00:11:27What's good?
00:11:28Oh, well, everything
00:11:30Of course I'd say that
00:11:31What's your favorite then?
00:11:32What's your favorite then?
00:11:33Umm, probably the decadent brownie
00:11:35Oh, and the hot chocolate
00:11:37Yeah?
00:11:38It's the best
00:11:39It's not just cause it's the name
00:11:40I mean it
00:11:41You don't believe me?
00:11:42Not really
00:11:43Ok, well, now you have to try it
00:11:44Sure, why not?
00:11:46Okay, one brownie
00:11:48And one hot chocolate
00:11:49Jonathan
00:11:50That's the brownie
00:11:51And one hot chocolate
00:11:52Jonathan
00:11:53From the brownie
00:11:54Of course I'd say that
00:11:55What's your favorite then?
00:11:56Um, probably the decadent brownie
00:11:59Oh, and the hot chocolate
00:12:00Yeah?
00:12:01It's the best
00:12:03It's not just cause it's the name
00:12:04I mean it
00:12:05You don't believe me?
00:12:06Not really
00:12:07Ok, well now you have to try it
00:12:09Sure, why not
00:12:10Ok, one brownie
00:12:11and one hot chocolate, Jonathan
00:12:12Thank you. Oh, don't worry about it.
00:12:13No, I couldn't.
00:12:14Let's call it payback for coffee the other night.
00:12:17Come on. I know what it's like when you're first starting out.
00:12:21I insist.
00:12:23All right. Thanks.
00:12:29There you go.
00:12:31There you go.
00:12:32Oh, thank you.
00:12:34So, will I see you later?
00:12:37Yeah. Come by the cafe anytime.
00:12:39All right.
00:12:42Try this.
00:13:00All right.
00:13:04Just fine. Just like normal.
00:13:06This isn't mine.
00:13:08Someone copied my recipe and is selling it as their own.
00:13:10Who would do that?
00:13:12That man from the Christmas kickoff.
00:13:14The new shop owner from next door.
00:13:16He calls it the best hot chocolate ever on his menu.
00:13:20There's got to be something different.
00:13:22Nope.
00:13:23It's the same, right?
00:13:25Hmm.
00:13:26Yeah.
00:13:27What if he stole it?
00:13:28Oh, he seemed too nice to do that.
00:13:30We just met him.
00:13:31Before you go making accusations, talk to the man first.
00:13:37Okay.
00:13:42Are you sure it's the same?
00:13:44Yes.
00:13:45Can't you taste the vanilla?
00:13:46It's fresh.
00:13:47And the cayenne pepper.
00:13:48Yeah.
00:13:49Things taste different when they're cold.
00:13:51True.
00:13:51We need a fresh cup.
00:13:55What now?
00:13:56Yes.
00:13:57I want to try a second batch.
00:13:58You know, see how it tastes today.
00:13:59And you can't go because...
00:14:01Because I don't want him to see me.
00:14:03Right.
00:14:03Okay.
00:14:04Leave your apron.
00:14:05Oh.
00:14:05Just casually ask what's in it.
00:14:08See if they do anything that I do.
00:14:10Okay.
00:14:11Oh, your coat.
00:14:14There you go.
00:14:16Don't tell him you work here.
00:14:17Just be anonymous.
00:14:19Should I wear dark sunglasses and a hat and hide who I am?
00:14:22Do you have a hat?
00:14:23Just go.
00:14:24Okay.
00:14:24Play it cool.
00:14:25Okay.
00:14:35What can I get you?
00:14:40Uh, your hot chocolate.
00:14:42Anything else?
00:14:44No.
00:14:47Oh, thanks.
00:14:50Oh, gosh.
00:14:51Sorry.
00:14:51Excuse me.
00:14:55Sorry.
00:14:56That's a pretty shirt.
00:15:00Um, best hot chocolate, huh?
00:15:03Uh, yeah.
00:15:05Must be pretty special.
00:15:07I guess.
00:15:10So why is it special?
00:15:12What do you mean?
00:15:13I mean just, um, what makes it taste so good?
00:15:18Milk and chocolate?
00:15:20So you use chocolate.
00:15:23Kind of a key ingredient.
00:15:25Right.
00:15:26Right.
00:15:27Um, so any other, um, ingredients?
00:15:33That was horrifying.
00:15:34What'd you learn?
00:15:35What's in it?
00:15:36All I got was milk and chocolate.
00:15:39Okay.
00:15:39Well, what kind of chocolate?
00:15:42Is it the type that we use?
00:15:43Did he mention fresh vanilla?
00:15:45No.
00:15:46There were other customers coming, and I made a fool of myself enough that even he was uncomfortable.
00:15:52Well, you had to have learned something.
00:15:55Yes.
00:15:55I learned that culinary espionage is not for me.
00:15:58Oh.
00:15:59I have an idea.
00:16:04Don't look.
00:16:05What?
00:16:05Turn around.
00:16:07This has been the most bizarre day.
00:16:13Hang on.
00:16:17Now look.
00:16:17Let me guess.
00:16:20You want me to try each one?
00:16:21Yes, I do.
00:16:27Tastes great.
00:16:28And this one?
00:16:34Also great.
00:16:36Which one's mine?
00:16:37I can't tell.
00:16:42See?
00:16:43It's definitely the same.
00:16:44All right.
00:16:51That order will be ready for pickup on the 23rd.
00:16:53Okay.
00:16:54Hey, we just got another Christmas pie order.
00:16:56All right.
00:17:05Hey, I'm going to grab lunch real quick.
00:17:07Are you okay here?
00:17:08Yeah.
00:17:08Okay.
00:17:10All right.
00:17:10Be back in a bit.
00:17:11See ya.
00:17:16Let's get another batch of cookies ready.
00:17:18Okay.
00:17:20I'll be right back.
00:17:22Okay.
00:17:29Hey, Marcus.
00:17:31Excuse me.
00:17:32You doing all right?
00:17:34Is something wrong with the hot chocolate?
00:17:36Yes.
00:17:37This tastes exactly like my recipe.
00:17:40Come again?
00:17:41This has to be the same as mine, which I use for my hot chocolate in my cafe.
00:17:46Well, I'm sure it's not the same.
00:17:48Mine is a proprietary blend.
00:17:50Is it?
00:17:52Did you purposefully seek me out at the Christmas kickoff?
00:17:55What?
00:17:55Why would I?
00:17:56To try and reverse engineer it or something?
00:18:00Hang on.
00:18:01First off, I bought coffee from you that night.
00:18:04Second, there are a ton of ways to make hot chocolate.
00:18:06I doubt it's the same.
00:18:07It's identical.
00:18:09How do you know?
00:18:10Because I tasted it.
00:18:12Just come to my cafe and we'll compare them side by side.
00:18:14Why don't you just tell me what's in your recipe?
00:18:18You'd love that, wouldn't you?
00:18:20Me spilling my secret recipe?
00:18:22Well, then how am I supposed to know?
00:18:25You tell me your recipe.
00:18:28Well, I can't do that either.
00:18:30Seriously, let's think about this.
00:18:31Why would I, or anyone for that matter, try to imitate your hot chocolate recipe?
00:18:36Because it's that good.
00:18:38And I'm your competition.
00:18:40I bet you realize that my cafe is going to make things harder for your little dessert shop.
00:18:45I could have opened my shop in a dozen other locations.
00:18:48I chose that spot because I thought it would complement the businesses around it.
00:18:52I'm sure.
00:18:54You're going to have to stop serving your hot chocolate.
00:18:56It's encroaching on my business.
00:18:58No way.
00:18:58It's a free marketplace and my customers come for delicious sweets.
00:19:02Besides, how do I know you're not making this all up to steal my customers?
00:19:05That's ridiculous.
00:19:06This whole thing is ridiculous.
00:19:08I'll give you that.
00:19:11Look, I promise I'm not trying to steal your hot chocolate recipe or your customers.
00:19:16Hey, Mallory.
00:19:17Oh, hey.
00:19:19Is that?
00:19:21It's just dessert.
00:19:23And?
00:19:24Hot chocolate?
00:19:26See?
00:19:28It's not my fault if the customer likes my recipe better than yours.
00:19:34Ah!

00:20:03Ah!
00:20:03the original heavenly hot chocolate don't be fooled by copycats of all the things she what
00:20:17colette is under the delusion that i'm trying to steal her hot chocolate recipe or copy it
00:20:23somehow but you've been making that hot chocolate for years i mean even back in college yeah uh just
00:20:29a big piece yeah don't tell angie well that's what kept you going during those all-nighters
00:20:35you know all those papers the one bright spot for procrastination so why does she think it's the same
00:20:43she swears it tastes identical it's hot chocolate i mean no offense but how many variations are there
00:20:50that's what i said well have you tried her version no and i'm not sure i want to she was really great
00:20:59when we first met but now i think it's better i just keep my distance and not feed her paranoia
00:21:05you know maybe we should have opened up the shop at that other location across town a little too late
00:21:09for that you know it's funny you move somewhere new and you're worried about your neighbors but with
00:21:14business i didn't realize those neighbors could be worse do you think she'll pursue it make things
00:21:19difficult for the shop i hope not food businesses are hard enough as it is you know remember all the
00:21:25statistics about how many fail don't remind me you know what we'll be fine she just has to wake up and
00:21:32realize that a little competition is not the end of the world the end of the world has come nobody told
00:21:41me my hot chocolate sales are down since when since that copycat marcus opened up his shop he's only been
00:21:50open for a week sales are down 20 from this time last year this time last year there was a cold front
00:21:58it hasn't been that cold yet well they're down 15 percent from just last week before he opened
00:22:04your cafe success does not rest on only your hot chocolate i wouldn't panic yet
00:22:09you know i i want to do the full tree this year i did the tall skinny thing last year and ended up
00:22:20looking emaciated i thought it was nice not with my decorations how tall do you want it less than six
00:22:29feet i don't want to have to climb a ladder to decorate it i like this one
00:22:35one oh that one's way too tall you need a tree how about you i have my artificial one fake call it
00:22:46what it is grandma thea always said it was sensible christmas isn't about reason and sensible it's about
00:22:53love and celebrating splurge a little i'm fine i like my tree just the way it is
00:23:02it's still boxed isn't it i'll get to it soon
00:23:09my other sales are down all since he opened are you sure take a look
00:23:19barely it's probably a fluke from matthia's recipe will bring them back they may want to try the new
00:23:25place but they'll be back you're probably right but what if they don't come back to my cafe
00:23:36are you worried about your sales or that his recipe is so close to grandma's
00:23:45everything will be all right if nothing else grandma thea will haunt those wayward customers until they do
00:23:53come back
00:24:10hey colette frank everything okay yep yes
00:24:15yes you're yeah i wanted to try it myself see what all the fuss is about oh
00:24:25it does taste just like yours i know i don't know how well the last thing the grocery chains are going
00:24:31to want are two products selling the same thing well i don't think he's selling his in stores and
00:24:36besides we're the first right right unless he comes around claiming you stole his recipe well i
00:24:43didn't he i'm just saying the last thing you or i want is a lawsuit or something to make this fail
00:24:50before we even get started well you don't have to worry it's my recipe all right although i need
00:24:58that contract back and how's that dry recipe coming good i still need to work on it i've been
00:25:07distracted well as is we're already too late to get it to the stores for christmas
00:25:11but it'd be a shame to miss out on the rest of winter
00:25:13i'm all about deadlines how about we aim to have everything ready contract from recipe by next
00:25:20week how about two weeks with the christmas rush it's been busy
00:25:29it picks up two weeks then

00:35:06no you're just the one who sent spies in to record my method i was trying to prove that you were using
00:35:11the same method that i use which means you stole it i did not we've been through this it is my recipe
00:35:17and my livelihood you're a coffee shop a cafe so you're telling me that more people buy your hot
00:35:24chocolate than your coffee something must be wrong with your coffee then i have plans for my hot chocolate
00:35:30and your copycatting is jeopardizing that what plans i'm not telling you you know what the secretiveness
00:35:40between us hasn't been working so well so in the spirit of christmas why don't you tell me something
00:35:46fine i plan to sell my amazing hot chocolate recipe nationwide how i'm working with a company that
00:35:55will take it to grocery stores ah so you think me and my supposed identical recipe are after your
00:36:01grocery store plans too yes and it is identical i still don't believe you on that well then maybe
00:36:08you should try my hot chocolate you know i should it's the least i could do to pay you back for all the
00:36:13ones you bought from me why are you selling it what your hot chocolate recipe why sell it well i'm not
00:36:36it's a do-it-yourself-at-home version all right what i just never sell mine so just saying i'm taking my
00:36:49business to the next level all right that's your decision look how about this i promise i won't get
00:36:59in the way of your grand plans and what about my shop what about it you're selling your hot chocolate
00:37:05same as me i'm pretty sure the people that come to my shop are looking for dessert first maybe we
00:37:11should just take some time and see how things go but the customers come and go without bad mouthing each
00:37:16other that seems reasonable and no more spying fine good so truce
00:37:27truce okay here are your two trees
00:37:36come in hello hey what's up hey
00:37:50you need a hand uh yeah
00:37:56thank you you got it
00:37:59so how are things at the shop today pretty good i passed a hundred pre-orders isn't that nuts i wasn't
00:38:05expecting that many this quick i know you think you can handle making all those pies at the same
00:38:09time yeah but you're gonna help me right we'll see how desperate i get at least your garage doesn't
00:38:16have that holiday rush that's true and how's uh you know it's my hot chocolate lady better i actually
00:38:25ran into her tonight i think we made some progress progress is she growing on you no
00:38:32not that it matters we have a truce that's all okay well good now we can focus on making sweet pastries
00:38:42really take off
00:38:45is that the contract from frank yes everything is expected yeah it is
00:38:53do you think i'm doing the right thing if i go forward with it depends on what you want
00:38:57have you thought maybe putting the mix out there will hurt the store do you think it will
00:39:04it could but colette's cafe is home of the original so maybe becomes a must-have if people are nearby
00:39:13marcus said he would never sell his what you're talking to him now kind of and and maybe he's not so
00:39:22bad and maybe i should have given him the benefit of the doubt but that's not the point
00:39:30it's an improvement so why does it matter what he says
00:39:36do you think he's right i don't know his reasons
00:39:41you have to do what you think is best and right and hopefully they're the same thing
00:39:47so how's the dry mix coming not well oh well maybe put off signing until you have something worthy to sell
00:40:00good point so what movie are you watching you pick
00:40:17hello
00:40:41What?
00:40:53Sir, you can't go in there.
00:40:54I'm the owner.
00:40:55Look, I'm sorry.
00:40:56But just stay out here until you make sure everything's safe.
00:40:58All right?
00:41:11Is there a fire?
00:41:39I think so.
00:41:41Can you check on the cafe?
00:41:43Yeah.
00:41:52Marcus?
00:41:55Hey.
00:41:59Marcus, I'm so sorry.
00:42:03Do they have any idea what caused this?
00:42:05They're not sure yet, but they think it came from the kitchen.
00:42:11I swear I didn't leave anything on.
00:42:15I'm sure you're right.
00:42:17Is your shop okay?
00:42:19Sorry, I didn't even think about that.
00:42:21Don't worry about that.
00:42:22So you're fine?
00:42:23Nikki's checking.
00:42:24Nikki's checking.
00:42:27I...
00:42:28I wanted to come see about you.
00:42:32Well, at least it looks like you won't have any competition for a while.
00:42:35No, no, no.
00:42:36Everything was in place.
00:42:37I saw to it myself.
00:42:38You're kidding.
00:42:39And after that?
00:42:40Look, see what you can do.
00:42:41Just...
00:42:42Please, ask again.
00:42:43Right.
00:42:44Bye.
00:42:45You're kidding.
00:42:46You look as horrible as I feel.
00:42:49Fire Chief came by.
00:42:51Look, see what you can do. Just please ask again.
00:42:58Right. Bye.
00:43:02You look as horrible as I feel.
00:43:04Fire chief came by.
00:43:06And?
00:43:08Well, the fire didn't spread beyond our walls.
00:43:10He thinks the structure is down, but the entire inside needs to be redone.
00:43:14I made an appointment with the contractor to go over the repairs.
00:43:17Any ideas on the cause?
00:43:18Might have been an oven.
00:43:19I don't bake anything in the evenings, though. There's no way I left anything on.
00:43:26What was that about?
00:43:28The insurance company says our policy wasn't active.
00:43:32What?
00:43:32I know.
00:43:34But we paid those premiums.
00:43:35During the time of the construction, on the inside, yes, but I guess somehow it didn't get switched over when we were functional.
00:43:42I missed it, too.
00:43:45So to fix everything, we have to...
00:43:46Out of our pockets.
00:43:47Angie and I already have everything to put into the garage and in sweet pastries.
00:43:53I know.
00:43:55I wish I had better news.
00:43:58Today isn't the day for that.
00:44:03Heartbreaking, isn't it?
00:44:05We just had this all done.
00:44:07Yeah.
00:44:08Tell me about it.
00:44:09Well, it's fixable.
00:44:13That's the good news.
00:44:15Okay, what's the bad?
00:44:17Cost and schedule.
00:44:19How soon are you wanting to have all the repairs done?
00:44:22Tomorrow?
00:44:24Well, winter is busier than you'd think.
00:44:27Everybody wants to remodel.
00:44:29I'm booked for the next two months.
00:44:31Is there any chance you know someone who can help get things moving that has an open schedule?
00:44:36Not that I'd hire.
00:44:38You could do a lot of the work yourself, though.
00:44:41I can't?
00:44:43That's safe on cost, too.
00:44:45You'd have to do everything just right, of course, but I could fit into my schedule checking in on the work, overseeing here and there.
00:44:51Yeah, that would help a lot.
00:44:54Is there any chance you could send the bid over for everything?
00:44:57With you doing the work or without?
00:45:00Both, if you don't mind.
00:45:02You got it.
00:45:02I'll send it over tonight.
00:45:04All right.
00:45:04Hey, thanks.
00:45:05Yep.
00:45:08How's that business next to yours with the fire?
00:45:11Oh, not great.
00:45:13Marcus is...
00:45:14He's crushed.
00:45:17What should I do?
00:45:18What do you mean?
00:45:19It's not your shop.
00:45:20I know, but I've been so mean to him.
00:45:23I feel guilty.
00:45:24Well, it's not like you did any damage, did you?
00:45:29Of course not.
00:45:31He said something to me about not worrying about competition anymore.
00:45:35Oh, now that's uncalled for.
00:45:37He wasn't cool about it.
00:45:39He just...
00:45:41I don't want to succeed because of someone else's tragedy.
00:45:45But even if you could do something, what would really help?
00:45:50How big of a day is it?
00:45:52I've been saved for 10 people.
00:45:54And now I'm going to go there, where we get money quickly and we get a big deal.
00:45:58And now I'm going to go there, 1X Bat Park.
00:46:00So much money, but you can get a lot of people from these people.
00:46:041X Bat, Sattay Baji's company.
00:46:06Hungry?
00:46:13Hey.
00:46:14What are you doing here?
00:46:16I thought you might need a break.
00:46:18I just barely started.
00:46:20Well, here.
00:46:22Eat up.
00:46:24Thanks.
00:46:25So, how long until everything is repaired?
00:46:31I'm trying to figure that out.
00:46:33The main thing is it's going to be really pricey to fix.
00:46:37Really?
00:46:37Yeah.
00:46:38We had a snafu with the insurance, so we have to fix everything.
00:46:42Or...
00:46:43Or what?
00:46:44Or maybe this wasn't meant to be.
00:46:47You'd close down?
00:46:49You can't do that.
00:46:50Well, it's not like I want to, but would you really be that disappointed?
00:46:55I suppose I deserve that.
00:47:02You know what might help keep you in business?
00:47:05Besides fixing the shop?
00:47:07You should sell your pastries at the Christmas kickoff.
00:47:09Didn't that already happen?
00:47:11Yeah, but it continues every weekend until Christmas.
00:47:14You could set up a booth, sell your desserts.
00:47:17Except...
00:47:18My kitchen isn't working.
00:47:20Could you bake from home?
00:47:23Actually, that could work.
00:47:25You could also get a lot more pie pre-orders for Christmas.
00:47:28See?
00:47:30All right.
00:47:31Thanks.
00:47:34And, for the record...
00:47:37Yes.
00:47:38I would be disappointed if you shut down.
00:47:43You would?
00:47:45Yeah.
00:47:46We wouldn't get to see who's hot chocolate sells better.
00:47:50Whoa.
00:47:57This does taste like mine.
00:47:58You mean, your recipe tastes like mine.
00:48:04I hope your recipe wasn't damaged with all this.
00:48:07Nope.
00:48:08It's in my safe.
00:48:09You keep your recipes in a safe?
00:48:12Wow.
00:48:13Mine are at home.
00:48:14And in my memory, of course.
00:48:15Well, I promised I'd keep mine under lock and key.
00:48:20Promised who?
00:48:22The woman who gave me the recipe.
00:48:25So, it's not yours.
00:48:29No, it is completely Thea's.
00:48:34Did you just say Thea?
00:48:36Yeah.
00:48:37Thea Redmond?
00:48:39How do you know her name?
00:48:42She's my grandmother.
00:48:43I first met Thea when I was eight years old.
00:48:50She was our next-door neighbor.
00:48:53My mom died when I was younger, and my dad worked a lot to provide for me.
00:48:57But Thea noticed, and she would keep me out of trouble when I got back from school.
00:49:01Had to get my homework done first, of course.
00:49:07She was very firm about that.
00:49:11But then she would teach me how to cook.
00:49:13And she always had her hot chocolate ready.
00:49:15It didn't even matter if it was warm outside.
00:49:17I just loved it.
00:49:20We lived so far away from her when I was that age.
00:49:23I never knew.
00:49:25Well, I was just the neighborhood boy.
00:49:27You had to have been more than that.
00:49:29I don't know, but I didn't mind that my dad was so busy because Thea was always there.
00:49:38And I wonder if he knew how much she really did for us.
00:49:42So she taught you the recipe?
00:49:44No, not at first.
00:49:46I could tell it was special to her.
00:49:48She just always had it ready when I'd get home from school.
00:49:51But when I turned about 11, my dad got a new job and we had to move.
00:50:00And it was right before Christmas time.
00:50:04I was pretty upset about it.
00:50:06But Thea asked me what I wanted for Christmas since we wouldn't see each other anymore.
00:50:11And what did you say?
00:50:12I asked her to teach me how to make the hot chocolate.
00:50:17So that I could remember her and make it for myself wherever we moved to.
00:50:22I had no idea.
00:50:24She always guarded that recipe so closely.
00:50:26I just assumed I was the only one who knew it.
00:50:30Yeah, sorry.
00:50:32It probably seems pretty out of place that I have it too.
00:50:36No, it's fine.
00:50:41I can't believe Grandma Thea gave the recipe to someone else.
00:50:45And this was years before she gave it to me.
00:50:48I gave up trying to understand her.
00:50:50I certainly never pegged her for taking in some stranger's boy.
00:50:54She never told you about Marcus?
00:50:56No.
00:50:58She did whatever crossed her mind, but it's so unlike her.
00:51:02It's way too...
00:51:04What?
00:51:04Charitable.
00:51:08She was so strict when she taught me how to make the hot chocolate.
00:51:11Only then?
00:51:12I was just about to leave for college.
00:51:14We made it over and over again with her critiquing how I did it.
00:51:17The order of the ingredients, getting the temperatures just right,
00:51:21not scalding the milk or melted chocolate.
00:51:23That's just how she was.
00:51:26Made me cherish it, though.
00:51:28First out of fear of getting it wrong.
00:51:31But now...
00:51:33It's her legacy.
00:51:34I thought I was the only one to carry it on.
00:51:39The contractor sent us the bid with and without us doing whatever labor possible.
00:51:43Yeah, we're gonna need to do some of that work ourselves, for sure.
00:51:48You know, both money and time-wise, we can't afford to wait for them to get to us.
00:51:52The more time we're closed, the less money we make.
00:51:55It's bad enough being closed during the holidays.
00:51:57It's the worst timing ever.
00:51:58I know how to do a little bit of the sheetrock stuff.
00:52:02Sheetrock stuff?
00:52:03A little bit.
00:52:04Plus, I can clean up the debris and damage things.
00:52:06That can't be too hard.
00:52:08I have to keep the garage open, but...
00:52:10I could close down early to help out if it's a slow day.
00:52:12Okay.
00:52:13That'd be good.
00:52:14I don't know how we're gonna pay for the rest, though.
00:52:16I mean, I can scrape together some money for the supplies for the work that we would do,
00:52:20but we still have to pay the contractors and his subs for the work we can't do ourselves.
00:52:24Yeah, the first time around was expensive enough.
00:52:26Well, let's get going, do what we can to get the first steps started.
00:52:32I have a little to cover that.
00:52:33Okay, but what about the rest?
00:52:35We're gonna need a loan.
00:52:36I mean, we already have one for opening up the store.
00:52:38Do you really think we can get another one?
00:52:40It's worth a shot.
00:52:41How else are we gonna get sweet pastries on its feet again?
00:52:44Okay.
00:52:46I'll work on that loan.
00:52:47Get started fixing the shop.
00:52:51Here you go.
00:52:52Merry Christmas.
00:52:56Is he okay over there?
00:52:59Maybe I should go check.
00:53:06Well, I turned in the application for the second loan.
00:53:09Okay.
00:53:10Fingers crossed.
00:53:11How long will that take?
00:53:12Normally two weeks, I said.
00:53:16Everything okay in here?
00:53:18As well as it can be.
00:53:19Colette, this is Stephen and Angie.
00:53:21Hi.
00:53:22The paranoid hot chocolate lady?
00:53:24Stephen.
00:53:25Guilty.
00:53:26It's really nice to meet you.
00:53:29You too.
00:53:30Oh!
00:53:32Do they know what they're doing?
00:53:34Yeah.
00:53:35You know, just a little demolition work.
00:53:37I could tell.
00:53:39We can all hear it next door.
00:53:41Sorry.
00:53:42I just wanted to make sure you were, you know, safe.
00:53:46Making sure Stephen's not hitting my hand with a hammer.
00:53:48Yeah, like that.
00:53:49Wow.
00:53:52Wow.
00:53:54There is so much to do.
00:53:55Yeah.
00:53:56Tell me about it.
00:53:59Do you need help?
00:54:00Yes.
00:54:01No.
00:54:01We can handle it.
00:54:03I'm sure you're plenty busy yourself.
00:54:05I'll be right back.
00:54:10Well, she seems nice.
00:54:11There you go.
00:54:16Have a good day.
00:54:18How are you doing?
00:54:18You got it handled?
00:54:19Uh, yeah.
00:54:20Great.
00:54:21Can you call Nikki and have her prep everything for the Christmas kickoff?
00:54:25I can pick it all up at five.
00:54:27Okay.
00:54:28What are you doing in the meantime?
00:54:30Helping.
00:54:30Hey.
00:54:31Hey.
00:54:42Christmas bells around town
00:54:44But nothing compares to the sound
00:54:48Well done.
00:54:49Thank you, sir.
00:54:49Of my laughter when you're on my own
00:54:53On the front, I can't help me.
00:54:55I can't remember that.
00:54:58Yeah?
00:55:00Yes.
00:55:00Cause it's old outside but I feel the heat
00:55:04I'm running circles in my mind
00:55:07Cause I'm so happy that you're mine
00:55:10Get my words to say
00:55:14And you make my heart
00:55:16I've never felt this way
00:55:20And baby, that should be my mom's peace
00:55:24A little better
00:55:25Cause you're my ever out there
00:55:28Try to find my words to say
00:55:31And you make my holiday
00:55:34Do you want to take that?
00:55:35Yeah, I got it.
00:55:36No, it looks better.
00:55:39I hope so.
00:55:43Oh, yeah.
00:55:45We have someone coming to fix that.
00:55:47Along with the other electrical.
00:55:48Oh.
00:55:50It's almost time for the Christmas kickoff to start for the weekend.
00:55:53Did you get a booth?
00:55:54Yeah, I did.
00:55:55I was up late last night making everything.
00:55:57I have to go get my things for it.
00:55:59I'll meet you there.
00:56:01Sure.
00:56:06See you guys.
00:56:07Bye.
00:56:08Thanks so much for helping.
00:56:09See ya.
00:56:12You know, you should probably get ready too.
00:56:15We'll finish up here.
00:56:17You sure?
00:56:18Yeah.
00:56:20Okay.
00:56:21Thanks.
00:56:22Have fun.
00:56:23Have fun.
00:56:23Have fun.
00:56:27Here.
00:56:33Merry Christmas.
00:56:36There you go.
00:56:37Merry Christmas.
00:56:41Well, I want you to notice that I only have my desserts and pie pre-orders.
00:56:46No hot chocolate.
00:56:47You didn't have to leave out the hot chocolate.
00:56:49And you didn't have to help me today.
00:56:52I wanted to.
00:56:53It's Christmas.
00:56:55And Grandma Thea would have wanted me to as well.
00:56:59Hi.
00:57:00Sweet pastries, right?
00:57:02Yes.
00:57:02I tried to go by your store, but it was all closed up.
00:57:06Yeah.
00:57:06We had a fire.
00:57:08Oh.
00:57:08How horrible.
00:57:10Well, I ordered some pies for Christmas.
00:57:13Will I still be able to get those?
00:57:15Oh, yeah.
00:57:16We'll still have everything ready as planned.
00:57:18Good.
00:57:19Then where do I go to pick them up?
00:57:22You can pick them up right next door to Sweet Pastries at Colette's Cafe.
00:57:27Okay.
00:57:27Anytime on December 23rd?
00:57:30Yep.
00:57:31We'll have them ready.
00:57:32Good.
00:57:35Merry Christmas.
00:57:36Merry Christmas.
00:57:42Just makes sense.
00:57:43No big deal.
00:57:43Are you sure?
00:57:45I might take over your shop for that day.
00:57:47It's just one day.
00:57:51Two hot chocolates, please?
00:57:53Sure.
00:57:53It'll be just a minute.
00:57:56So, how is the sale of your recipe for hot chocolate coming?
00:58:01Oh, that.
00:58:03You change your mind?
00:58:04No.
00:58:07I'm having trouble coming up with a traditional dry version of the recipe.
00:58:11Dry version?
00:58:12Traditional.
00:58:13There's nothing traditional about Thea's recipe.
00:58:16I know.
00:58:17It's hard to replicate in an easy form.
00:58:20Here you go.
00:58:22Merry Christmas.
00:58:25Well, then that's your problem.
00:58:26You're going about it all wrong.
00:58:28What do you mean?
00:58:29Thea's recipe is gourmet.
00:58:31The stuff we make in our shops, it's not ordinary.
00:58:34You can't just make it the same way they do in grocery stores.
00:58:37Well, then how?
00:58:40What about a liquid version?
00:58:42People are used to.
00:58:43No, but that's kind of the point.
00:58:45It's special, so make it special.
00:58:48A gourmet drink in a refrigerated section that you can reheat and enjoy.
00:58:53Limited shelf life.
00:58:58It would be more difficult to transport, or we'd have to do it faster.
00:59:02But it would taste a lot better.
00:59:04It's better than anything I've thought of.
00:59:07Great idea.
00:59:13Order 98?
00:59:15Excuse me.
00:59:16Oh, Mr. Banner.
00:59:17Is Colette in?
00:59:18No, she's been out today.
00:59:20Tell her I'm waiting to hear from her.
00:59:21Deadline's almost up.
00:59:22I'll pass that on.
00:59:23Thanks.
00:59:24Hi.
00:59:25Hi.
00:59:26So then you're going to sell this just like you make it at the cafe?
00:59:30Yes.
00:59:31I'm not sure how to make it keep longer, though.
00:59:34Preservatives.
00:59:35Grandma wouldn't like that.
00:59:37No, but you're going to have to compromise somewhere.
00:59:40At least this will taste better than that dry stuff you've been mixing up.
00:59:44It better.
00:59:44What are you doing?
00:59:47Testing which method of reheating works best.
00:59:51Everyone just uses the microwave.
00:59:53Well, that may be, but I want to compare so I know what to put on the packaging.
00:59:56Good for you, being all gourmet.
00:59:59That's the idea.
01:00:04Try this.
01:00:10Good?
01:00:11This one, too.
01:00:12Both good.
01:00:21Any difference?
01:00:22The temperature.
01:00:23Maybe I should tell people what temperature to heat it to.
01:00:26No one's going to get out their thermometer and check the temperature.
01:00:29People just want a quick cup of hot chocolate.
01:00:32Quick and yummy.
01:00:33That, too.
01:00:34So how's that, uh, how's that boy Grandma helped out?
01:00:40Marcus?
01:00:42He's...
01:00:43He's been better.
01:00:45Oh, it's such a shame about his store.
01:00:48Yeah.
01:00:48Is he a good sort of person?
01:00:52I think so.
01:00:53Why?
01:00:53Just curious.
01:00:55With my mother's influence, you can't quite be sure how he turned out.
01:00:58She wasn't always difficult.
01:01:00No.
01:01:01But those are the memories that stick out.
01:01:03Maybe you should try to remember the positive.
01:01:07There are probably good memories if you just let yourself think of them.
01:01:17Good morning.
01:01:18Hey, Nikki.
01:01:19How was your evening?
01:01:21Fine.
01:01:22Got to pick my own presents for Christmas.
01:01:25Is that for your parents to give you?
01:01:27Yep.
01:01:28They say I'm too picky, so that way they don't have to worry if I get anything I don't like.
01:01:31Mm-hmm.
01:01:33Oh, hey, uh, Frank Banner came by again yesterday.
01:01:36Oh, yeah?
01:01:36What'd he say?
01:01:37I'm just checking up on you.
01:01:39I think I have a solution to the store-bought version.
01:01:42Good.
01:01:44You know, it's been busy here.
01:01:48I know.
01:01:48I'm sorry.
01:01:50I'm just saying, maybe, maybe you're taking on too much.
01:01:54We'll sign right here.
01:01:59Okay.
01:02:01And then there.
01:02:04I thought we already did everything.
01:02:06I guess they wanted us to fill these ones out, too.
01:02:09This should be the last one.
01:02:11Okay.
01:02:16Yeah.
01:02:17All right, I'll get this over to him.
01:02:19All right, let's hope it goes through.
01:02:20Yeah.
01:02:21See ya.
01:02:22See ya.
01:02:22Oh, hey, Colette.
01:02:23Hi, Steven.
01:02:25Bye, Steven.
01:02:29How's it coming?
01:02:30Well, the electrical is underway, and then we get to move on to the sheetrock.
01:02:35Steven's kind of nervous, though.
01:02:36A lot depends on if we can get a second loan.
01:02:39Good luck.
01:02:40Thanks.
01:02:41I wonder what Theo would say about all this.
01:02:44Which part?
01:02:46About my situation.
01:02:47I remember these one-line pearls of wisdom, she used to say.
01:02:53Like, to keep me from going overboard with the candy when I was little.
01:02:58A small bite won't bite you back with a tummy ache.
01:03:01Yeah.
01:03:01Yeah.
01:03:02Or I should also say, if you clean a little each day, it'll keep the...
01:03:07Tears at bay.
01:03:10I wonder how much my mom fought her on cleaning a room.
01:03:12Enough that Theo would come up with a saying for it.
01:03:15Yeah.
01:03:18So, what would she say to me now?
01:03:22She'd say,
01:03:23The solution will appear if your determination doesn't disappear.
01:03:29Did she ever say that?
01:03:31No, I just made it up.
01:03:33But it does sound like her.
01:03:34It does.
01:03:37Maybe you're right, though.
01:03:40What are you thinking?
01:03:42That I might not have it all figured out, but I can take it a step at a time.
01:03:47Like, letting the electric work move forward while I continue taking pie pre-orders for Christmas.
01:03:54Maybe after that hurdle, I'll be ready for the next challenge.
01:03:58Exactly.
01:04:00Oh.
01:04:02Everything okay?
01:04:04Yeah, it's just my mom.
01:04:06She's reminding me about dinner.
01:04:11You should come.
01:04:12Oh.
01:04:13No, I couldn't.
01:04:15I'm sure she'd love to meet you.
01:04:16With you knowing my grandma and all.
01:04:18Yeah?
01:04:21Okay.
01:04:22Sure.
01:04:24Great.
01:04:29Mom?
01:04:29Hello.
01:04:31Hi.
01:04:32Hey.
01:04:32You remember Marcus?
01:04:34Nice to see you again.
01:04:35These are for you.
01:04:38I've heard a lot about you lately.
01:04:40Mom.
01:04:40Really?
01:04:40Come on in.
01:04:42Come on in.
01:04:49There's more if you like.
01:04:50Oh, no, thank you.
01:04:52I'm getting full.
01:04:53This was really great, Mom.
01:04:55This was one of Mother's recipes.
01:04:57It's one I craved growing up.
01:04:59I can tell fine cooking runs in the family.
01:05:02Well, I heard you make amazing desserts.
01:05:04Oh, you did.
01:05:06Although I haven't tasted them myself, as Colette ate the entire box.
01:05:11Did not.
01:05:13Not all at once, anyway.
01:05:14Well, I'll bring you a whole box of choices, just for you.
01:05:19Oh, thank you.
01:05:24You have a lot to bake for those Christmas orders.
01:05:27Are you really going to do them all at your house?
01:05:29I'm going to try.
01:05:30And then you're going to bring them to my cafe for people to pick up?
01:05:34Yeah, but that's not too hard.
01:05:35Why don't you just make them at the cafe?
01:05:38Oh, I couldn't.
01:05:39It's a lot of pies.
01:05:41The kitchen can handle it.
01:05:42Are you serious?
01:05:44Yeah.
01:05:45That would be amazing.
01:05:47I'll get Nikki and Simon to help, too.
01:05:49Okay.
01:06:01Hey, Mom, the oven?
01:06:02Can I turn it off?
01:06:03Yes, please.
01:06:04And take the pan out.
01:06:07Now, Marcus, I've been wanting to ask you, was my mother a stickler with you two, doing
01:06:14things her way or not at all?
01:06:16Uh, yes.
01:06:18And you survived.
01:06:19Good for you.
01:06:20She was never harsh, though.
01:06:22Everything she taught me was to help me be better.
01:06:25I can hear her saying that.
01:06:26She's brainwashed you.
01:06:28Maybe.
01:06:29But I also needed someone to show me that I could be better.
01:06:33I wonder what made her decide to look after you.
01:06:35I wonder that myself every now and then.
01:06:39Who knows?
01:06:40Maybe she just saw a bored boy who needed some attention.
01:06:43Maybe.
01:06:44I told Colette it was so unlike her.
01:06:47Didn't stop her, though.
01:06:50Maybe she just saw that she could make a difference.
01:06:54Perhaps.
01:06:54I think there was a side to her I didn't see.
01:07:02Your mother was a great woman.
01:07:07Maybe she was.
01:07:10More than I give her credit for.
01:07:14Well, the brownies should be cool by now.
01:07:16Was it something I said?
01:07:25I think so.
01:07:29It's a good thing, though.
01:07:30Well, when did Thea pass away?
01:07:34Six years ago.
01:07:36Christmas time, actually.
01:07:37I wish I'd reached out to her.
01:07:40There was a part of me that wondered, what are the odds I'd ever see her again, but...
01:07:46Yeah.
01:07:47I kind of think she'd be laughing at us now, though.
01:07:50Me too.
01:07:52Although, to be honest, I think she'd somehow favor you over me.
01:07:56No.
01:07:57I don't think she would.
01:07:59You know, she probably regrets giving me the recipe.
01:08:02No.
01:08:02Regret and Grandma Thea don't go together.
01:08:05That's something I admired about her.
01:08:08Whatever she chose to do, she owned it.
01:08:10No regrets.
01:08:12I think she knows that everything turned out okay.
01:08:16I hope so.
01:08:18She'd be happy.
01:08:20The recipe's in good hands.
01:08:28Yes, it is.
01:08:31Well, it's no fine pastry, but I've got some dessert here to finish us off.
01:08:39Looks great, Mom.
01:08:42This is going to make a lot of pies, Marcus.
01:08:45We can do it.
01:08:46The three of us and Colette and her two employees, that is a lot of extra hands.
01:08:51As compared to you doing it by yourself all night.
01:08:53Yeah.
01:08:54You know, it was awfully nice of Colette to offer to help.
01:09:01I can hear your tone.
01:09:03Good.
01:09:04Because I wasn't hiding it.
01:09:05You know what?
01:09:06It is nice of her to offer.
01:09:08And I appreciate it.
01:09:09I'm just thinking, you know, she wouldn't have offered to help if, you know.
01:09:13What?
01:09:15If she didn't like you.
01:09:17Oh.
01:09:19This is college all over again.
01:09:20With that girl down the hall you used to make fun of me for?
01:09:23Yeah, kind of.
01:09:24Only difference is you actually have a shot with Colette.
01:09:27Oh, my gosh.
01:09:28Be nice to him.
01:09:30Come on.
01:09:30What?
01:09:31I'm just saying.
01:09:32Yeah, but every time you say something, you jinx it for me.
01:09:35So, so that means you are interested.
01:09:41What did I just say?
01:09:45Measuring cups, whisks.
01:09:48Hi.
01:09:48Hi.
01:09:49You're sure that this place can handle all this stuff?
01:09:52No.
01:09:53Yes.
01:09:54We have plenty of room.
01:09:56Colette, Frank Banner is here asking for you again.
01:09:59Okay.
01:10:00Nikki, can you?
01:10:00Yeah, I'll get everything organized.
01:10:02Hi, Frank.
01:10:07Colette, I need to get this process going.
01:10:10Are we moving forward or what?
01:10:12Yes, sorry.
01:10:13I have been making progress.
01:10:15I've decided to do a liquid version of the hot chocolate.
01:10:19That's going to be more pricey, and it changes the placement in the grocery stores.
01:10:23But I can work on it.
01:10:25How's that contract coming?
01:10:26Tomorrow okay?
01:10:28I'll hold you to that.
01:10:29Great.
01:10:30Thanks.
01:10:31See ya.
01:10:32Anyone need an apron?
01:11:00Uh, I'm just warning everybody now, cooking is Marcus's thing, not mine.
01:11:06Well, you can follow instructions.
01:11:08Well, use small words.
01:11:10Hey, I just want to say thank you guys, all of you, for being willing to help.
01:11:15Yeah, put us to work.
01:11:16Yeah, put us to work.
01:11:17All right.
01:11:19The fridge is full of the ingredients that we'll need to use, plus whatever is out here
01:11:23on the counters.
01:11:24Let me know if you have questions, but I will circle around to make sure things are looking
01:11:29right.
01:11:29If you have a good, it's not, I'll do it.
01:11:30Is sampling, okay?
01:11:30No.
01:11:31Is sampling privated?
01:11:32No.
01:11:32Okay, so like this?
01:11:34Yeah, that's good.
01:11:35Cool.
01:11:36Yeah, that's good.
01:11:36Cool.
01:11:37Now mix it on low until the dough has a firm consistency.
01:11:40Sounds good.
01:11:51How's it going?
01:11:52Good.
01:11:58Marcus seems like a good guy.
01:11:59He is.
01:12:02So what's going on between you?
01:12:04Nothing.
01:12:06Why?
01:12:07I thought you said I was taking on too much as it was.
01:12:10Yeah, but my concern was Frank Banner, not Marcus.
01:12:13You don't like the deal with Frank, do you?
01:12:15It's not my call.
01:12:17But if it was?
01:12:21Why have you been stalling to give him the contract?
01:12:28Like I said, not my decision.
01:12:34So what do you think of Marcus?
01:12:35Marcus?
01:12:36I can tell you two have a bond.
01:12:37That's just because of my grandma.
01:12:38It's common ground between us.
01:12:39Nothing more.
01:12:40Maybe a little more.
01:12:41Maybe a little more.
01:12:42I can tell you two have a bond.
01:12:45That's just because of my grandma.
01:12:47It's common ground between us.
01:12:48Nothing more.
01:12:49Maybe a little more.
01:12:54Order 230.
01:12:55Chocolate and marshmallow silk and the pumpkin one.
01:12:57Pumpkin vanilla custard.
01:12:58We just pulled an all-nighter making pies.
01:12:59Want to give me a break?
01:13:00Yeah.
01:13:01There you go.
01:13:02Merry Christmas.
01:13:03Hi, what's your order number?
01:13:04183.
01:13:05Here you go.
01:13:07Merry Christmas.
01:13:08Apple cream.
01:13:09Hi, how can I help you?
01:13:10Can I get a hot chocolate please?
01:13:11Yes.
01:13:12Hang on.
01:13:13Uh, Marcus, take over.
01:13:14Hello.
01:13:15Merry Christmas.
01:13:16Yeah.
01:13:17Yeah.
01:13:18Yeah.
01:13:19Yeah.
01:13:20Yeah.
01:13:21Yeah.
01:13:22Yeah.
01:13:23Yeah.
01:13:24Yeah.
01:13:25Yeah.
01:13:26Yeah.
01:13:27Yeah.
01:13:28Yeah.
01:13:29Yeah.
01:13:30Yeah.
01:13:31Yeah.
01:13:32Yeah.
01:13:33Yeah.
01:13:34Yeah.
01:13:35Yeah.
01:13:36Yeah.
01:13:37But I filled out the...
01:13:43I understand.
01:13:44Is there no way to reconsider, or what else can we do?
01:13:49Okay.
01:13:50Merry Christmas.
01:13:54One second.
01:13:59So, what was that about?
01:14:04The bank turned down the second law.
01:14:12Hi.
01:14:13What's your order number?
01:14:1483.
01:14:22Frank, coming by today?
01:14:24Oh, um, probably.
01:14:29I'm just looking this over one more time.
01:14:34No.
01:14:41Frank's not coming.
01:14:52Frank!
01:14:53Hey, it's Colette.
01:14:56Look, I've been giving it a lot of thought.
01:15:00I don't think it's going to work out.
01:15:04Good turnout, huh?
01:15:06Yeah.
01:15:08Um, thanks again for letting me use your cafe and all of your help.
01:15:12Sure.
01:15:15Is everything all right?
01:15:19The bank denied the second loan.
01:15:23And Stephen is freaking out.
01:15:24Oh, you're kidding.
01:15:26I wish.
01:15:29Um, I need to go check on the electrician next door.
01:15:34I'll clean up.
01:15:35You go.
01:15:36You sure?
01:15:37Mm-hmm.
01:15:40Thanks.
01:15:43If someone comes for these...
01:15:44I'll make sure they get them.
01:15:54Thanks.
01:15:55Hopefully we can figure this out and you can come finish the rest someday.
01:15:59Good luck.
01:16:00Yeah.
01:16:03Excuse me.
01:16:04I'm looking for Marcus.
01:16:05Yeah, that's me.
01:16:06Huh.
01:16:06I understand you have a pretty popular hot chocolate recipe.
01:16:09I'd be interested in taking it nationwide.
01:16:12What do you think?
01:16:19What if he's selling the recipe to Frank?
01:16:29Well, you don't know that's what Frank was talking to him about.
01:16:32Come on, Colette.
01:16:33What else could it be?
01:16:34I don't know.
01:16:36If he is selling it, you're just...
01:16:38You're gonna let him?
01:16:39It's not...
01:16:40It's not for me to decide for him.
01:16:42It's not right.
01:16:44Grandma Thea gave the recipe to me and to him.
01:16:48He has just as much of a right to sell it as I do.
01:16:50But you didn't sell it.
01:16:52I know.
01:16:53But if he...
01:16:54If this recipe could really save his shop,
01:16:57could I live with myself if I tried to stop it?
01:16:59Hmm.
01:17:03Hey, Colette.
01:17:31Valerie, good to see you.
01:17:32You too.
01:17:33So, do you know what's going to happen next door?
01:17:36I don't.
01:17:37I hope it comes back because I loved their pies.
01:17:39But your hot chocolate was better.
01:17:42Thanks.
01:17:43Merry Christmas.
01:17:44You too.
01:17:46Hi.
01:17:48Hi.
01:17:50How's Steven?
01:17:52He's coping.
01:17:54And you?
01:17:56I'm figuring some things out.
01:17:58Like what?
01:17:58Trying to recoup whatever we can.
01:18:02But it's going to be fine.
01:18:05So, Frank Manor reached out to you then?
01:18:08Yeah, he did.
01:18:09I was surprised you decided not to sell.
01:18:16Wasn't the right decision for me.
01:18:21Me neither.
01:18:23Really?
01:18:24What, now you're surprised?
01:18:25I guess not.
01:18:26I just...
01:18:27You could have.
01:18:29You have just as much claim to it as I do.
01:18:32No, not really.
01:18:33The only one that did was Thea.
01:18:35Did you feel that way all along?
01:18:38Yeah.
01:18:40Why didn't you say anything to me?
01:18:42I mean, she's your grandma, not mine.
01:18:45Which reminds me.
01:18:49What?
01:18:51Merry Christmas.
01:18:53You didn't have to.
01:18:58Grandma.
01:19:00It's a nice way to remember her, isn't it?
01:19:02Yeah, it is.
01:19:11Merry Christmas, Colette.
01:19:15Merry Christmas.
01:19:23Hi.
01:19:24Do you have any of those pies left?
01:19:26Oh, that was just a one-time thing.
01:19:28Sorry.
01:19:29Oh, really?
01:19:29Yeah.
01:19:29Uh, my family really liked the last one.
01:19:33Um, well, I guess what do you have, um...
01:19:35Some sandwiches there.
01:19:37We got some donuts left.
01:19:39I'll have a turkey cranberry sandwich, then.
01:19:41A turkey cranberry?
01:19:42And a Caesar salad.
01:19:43Caesar salad.
01:19:45The whole situation's out of our hands.
01:19:48We just can't do it.
01:19:49Your lease isn't even close to being up.
01:19:52We agreed to a year to start.
01:19:54I know.
01:19:54Believe me, I wish the circumstances were different.
01:19:57There's just so much damage.
01:19:59What, do you expect me to eat that cost?
01:20:01Well, let's look it over and find a solution.
01:20:03We cleared out all the damage and started rewiring.
01:20:06Who knows?
01:20:06Maybe your next tenant will want to start fresh.
01:20:08Yeah.
01:20:09Hey, Stephen!
01:20:11Stephen, wait up!
01:20:13There's a lot to fix, but the point is, it is fixable.
01:20:17How would you do it?
01:20:18This is the easiest solution.
01:20:21You can do that?
01:20:22Sure, why not?
01:20:23What about the cafe?
01:20:24It won't affect the shop.
01:20:26You sure?
01:20:27Even if it does, it'll be worth it in the long run.
01:20:29I like it.
01:20:33Yeah?
01:20:35Grandma would too.
01:20:39So, what do you think?
01:20:40Can we do it?
01:20:42Yeah.
01:20:42I don't see why not.
01:20:43I ran it by the contractor.
01:20:45It's reinforced.
01:20:46It'll hold.
01:20:47Great.
01:20:48You sure you want to do this?
01:20:51I do.
01:20:52As long as it's the right move for you guys.
01:20:55It is.
01:20:57When do you want to start?
01:21:05You do realize it's Christmas Eve?
01:21:08Yes.
01:21:09And the ham is warm and ready?
01:21:11I'll be right there.
01:21:21Merry Christmas, Theo.
01:21:35Come in.
01:21:39Hey.
01:21:40Merry Christmas.
01:21:41Hey.
01:21:42Thanks.
01:21:42You too.
01:21:44So, what are you doing to celebrate today?
01:21:46Uh, I, uh, I was afraid of that.
01:21:50Come to the house with me and Angie.
01:21:52Oh, no.
01:21:53I couldn't do that.
01:21:55Why not?
01:21:56I'm fine here.
01:21:57I'm opening presents.
01:21:59Alone?
01:22:00You're here, aren't you?
01:22:01Alright, open mine then.
01:22:04You should at least come over for dinner.
01:22:07No, that's okay.
01:22:09Come on.
01:22:10Angie's making that stuffing you really like.
01:22:12Oof.
01:22:12Don't tempt me.
01:22:15Ugh.
01:22:16Not bad, huh?
01:22:18Sweet, Steven.
01:22:19Sweet.
01:22:20Are you sure you're okay?
01:22:24Yeah.
01:22:26Alright, well, dinner's at five if you change your mind.
01:22:28Okay.
01:22:29Hey, Merry Christmas.
01:22:31See ya.
01:22:32See ya.
01:22:32See ya.
01:22:33What are you doing?
01:22:46What are you doing?
01:22:50What are you doing?
01:23:03Oh, hi.
01:23:05Hi.
01:23:06What are you doing?
01:23:09Tearing down the wall?
01:23:10I ran into Steven and the landlord already.
01:23:14They seem excited.
01:23:16This was supposed to be a Christmas surprise for you, though.
01:23:20Yeah.
01:23:21I'm very much surprised.
01:23:23There's a giant hole in the wall.
01:23:25Why is there a hole in the wall?
01:23:28I'm taking on a new partner.
01:23:31Two, actually.
01:23:33We're combining Colette's Cafe and sweet pastries.
01:23:36I've wanted Colette's Cafe to change and grow for a while now.
01:23:40And this, well, one might call it expanding.
01:23:46We're adding desserts and making it more of a hangout than just for the sandwich and coffee crowd.
01:23:52What do you think?
01:23:55Uh, expanding?
01:23:58If it's okay with you.
01:24:00We'll have some pardon our dust signs around for a while.
01:24:04But the cafe can stay open while we finish the work.
01:24:08With this wall gone, we have room for more seating, dessert counters.
01:24:15I kind of thought we could have a hot chocolate bar area, but I especially wanted your input on that.
01:24:22The sweet pastries here?
01:24:26Steven already signed off on it.
01:24:29I'm just waiting for the second half of sweet pastries to agree.
01:24:34You're serious.
01:24:36Seems like it.
01:24:38I know it's a lot of work, but we can do most of it ourselves just like you planned to before.
01:24:45You're doing this for me?
01:24:48For us.
01:24:52Why?
01:24:53Because.
01:24:55Because it makes sense.
01:24:57That whole situation with me trying to sell the hot chocolate.
01:25:01I was itching to do more.
01:25:04But it wasn't right.
01:25:06And then you came along.
01:25:08And it's like it was meant to be.
01:25:12Not at first, of course.
01:25:13But I think I've seen what Grandma must have seen.
01:25:20Someone special.
01:25:22And the thought of coming here every day and not seeing you seemed bleak.
01:25:30Well, I know what you mean.
01:25:32You do?
01:25:33When I first met you, there was something about you that I wanted in my life.
01:25:42Even later, I still liked you.
01:25:47When I was awful to you?
01:25:50Wasn't that bad?
01:25:53Well, I'm glad I didn't scare you away.
01:25:56Why is that?
01:25:57Because I think I'm falling in love with you.
01:26:05So, what do you think?
01:26:28Uh, what should we call it?
01:26:35I'm not sure.
01:26:38We're combining Colette's Cafe and sweet pastries and Grandma Thea's hot chocolate.
01:26:46Hmm.
01:26:48How about...
01:26:52Thea's?
01:26:55Thea's.
01:26:57It's perfect.
