00:00Yeah, that's exactly why you're there. It's not New York.
00:04Brooks Point Harbor is the perfect place to lay low.
00:07Your reservation's under Gosling.
00:09Jason, just relax, get some sleep, try to enjoy it while you can.
00:14We're gonna have you back at Corwin Brothers before you know it.
00:16How many times have I gotta say it?
00:18I'm done with it.
00:20Or, it's done with me.
00:22Either way, my career is over.
00:24This is all gonna blow over.
00:26People are gonna forget about some stupid mistake the minute the next celebrity skim.
00:30No breaks.
00:31That mistake was on national TV.
00:33Live, in primetime.
00:35They're not just gonna forget.
00:37Yeah, and you shouldn't have been in that competition in the first place.
00:41Especially after what happened to your brother.
00:56Hi, I'm Laura.
00:57Welcome to the Brooks Point Inn.
01:00How can I help you?
01:02You didn't want an elevator.
01:05Alright then, Mr. Gosling.
01:08No relation.
01:10Let's get you checked in.
01:11So, are you in town for the festival?
01:13What festival?
01:14Is there always smoke billowing out of your kitchen?
01:17That's just five alarm dennings.
01:19Doing what she does best.
01:20Okay, well what she does best is gonna set us all up in flames.
01:23Thank you for calling Brooks Point Inn.
01:29This is Laura speaking.
01:31That was stupid hunk of junk.
01:34Okay, that hunk of junk is actually doing its job.
01:36Are you trying to burn the place down?
01:42Um, no.
01:42Actually, I'm not.
01:44I mean, everything's under control.
01:45I'm just doing a little bit of baking here.
01:47Whoops.
01:48There we go.
01:50And, uh...
01:51Some scones.
01:55All under control.
01:56I see why they call you five alarm dennings.
02:00Hi.
02:01I'm so sorry.
02:02I don't normally greet guests this way.
02:06I'm Abby.
02:07I run Brooks Point Inn.
02:09I didn't realize smoke and elation was part of the complimentary service.
02:13Next show starts at five.
02:17Um, and you are?
02:19Jay.
02:19I knew if I followed the smoke, I'd find my granddaughter.
02:27Grand, are you all right?
02:28Is everything okay?
02:29I was gonna ask you the same thing.
02:31Oh.
02:32Oh.
02:33Hello, dear.
02:35I'm Alice.
02:36I see you've already met my granddaughter.
02:38Yeah.
02:39I'm hoping that our home will suffice for your temporary home away from home.
02:44Why won't you be staying alone?
02:45Oh, I hope you reconsider.
02:47The smoke will clear, dear, at all.
02:49If you'd like to follow me, I can get you settled in.
02:52Into one of our non-smoking rooms.
02:57How are you?
02:58Okay.
02:59Come.
03:01You good?
03:02Yeah.
03:02Well, Grand, I don't know if it's such a good idea that I take over for Matilda as chef.
03:11I think that you can do anything you set your mind to.
03:19What are your thoughts on hiring an extra set of hands, just one person to help Brad out?
03:25Because I know he's run off his feet.
03:26He's so busy.
03:27He doesn't have time to fix everything.
03:30Grand, is everything okay?
03:32Oh, yes.
03:35Well?
03:37Grand, what is it?
03:38Do you need an ambulance?
03:41The inn's out of money.
03:42I've used my personal savings to balance the books for over a year, and I've neglected
03:49paying the property taxes for a few years.
03:54I wanted to tell you, but I really thought I had everything under control.
04:00It's okay.
04:01I'm sure it's not that bad.
04:02Oh, it's worse.
04:04This is my home, and I can't even imagine living anywhere else.
04:09Oh, Abby, I'm so sorry.
04:12Grand, it's okay.
04:13I know.
04:13I know this is your home.
04:15I...
04:15Let me take a look at the books.
04:18I'm sure I can shuffle some numbers around.
04:20$43,000 is an awful lot of shuffling.
04:23Leave it with me.
04:24I'll think of something.
04:25I promise.
04:27Okay?
04:33You have one saved voice message.
04:39Hey, just about to board.
04:42Wanted you to know the meeting went great.
04:44They loved our ideas.
04:46Man, there's the craziest sunset at the airport.
04:48Makes me excited for tomorrow.
04:50I'll call you when we land.
04:54Oh, great.
04:57Nice to see you, too.
04:58Sorry, I was just hoping to do some thinking on my love seat for a bit.
05:02Your love seat?
05:03Didn't see your name on it.
05:04No, not my name, but my parents.
05:07They used to hang out here quite a bit.
05:08This was kind of their spot.
05:13Anyway, I don't want to interrupt your cell phone time, so...
05:15Plenty of room for two.
05:23I'm sorry about your parents.
05:26Oh, it happened a long time ago.
05:27I wear their wedding ring, so I feel closer to them.
05:34I always feel so calm here.
05:37I bet your lungs do.
05:39Five alarm.
05:40I guess I'll never live that one down.
05:44Listen, about earlier, I'm...
05:46I'm sorry for the way things were handled.
05:48I know you were just trying to help.
05:49I shouldn't have been so rude.
05:51I was just on edge.
05:53It was a long trip.
05:55Thanks.
05:55So, where did you travel from?
05:58New York.
06:00Okay.
06:00And what brings you here?
06:02Free will.
06:03Just somebody else's.
06:05Okay.
06:06Before you leave, though, you have to do yourself a favor.
06:09Try our diner's BLT.
06:11It's so, so good.
06:13It's to die for.
06:15Diner and dying.
06:16I can see how they go together.
06:19Oh, come on.
06:20You live in New York.
06:21You're telling me you don't like diners?
06:22New York is some of the finest restaurants in the world.
06:25Why would I eat at a diner?
06:28I've never eaten at a diner.
06:29Never will.
06:31You have never...
06:31Okay, you have to go to a diner.
06:35You have to go to ours and try the BLT.
06:36It's the best.
06:38No, I don't.
06:39And how do you know it's the best BLT?
06:41I mean, how many diner BLTs have you tried?
06:44Okay, easy, Mr. Corwin.
06:48Corwin.
06:50Gosling didn't last long.
06:53I guess my days of being undercover are over.
06:56You should tilt your nose down once in a while.
06:59Otherwise, you'll miss what's going on around you.
07:02Or where you're at.
07:04Okay, that's not fair.
07:06Whatever you've read about me, you have no clue.
07:09I'm not assuming anything.
07:12You've made quite an impression here on your own already.
07:19I'm sorry.
07:20I really didn't mean to offend you.
07:22Well, you did.
07:24Brooks Point Harbor means a lot to the people of this town.
07:27You don't get to come here and hide out from whatever terrible things you've done
07:32and then judge anything you're not willing to experience yourself.
07:38Anyway, I have somewhere I have to be.
07:39Take a little Beretti and about five.
07:58Coffee?
07:59Uh, no thanks.
08:00I'm running on natural jitters today.
08:05Camera adds ten pounds, even to a mare.
08:08I'm too bad they didn't come off after the picture.
08:11Heard you run into a bit of trouble at the inn.
08:14Matilda's replaced on bailing on you?
08:16That can't be good for business.
08:17It's all under control, Mayor Joan.
08:20Thanks.
08:21Order's up, Abby.
08:23Hey, Joan, have you seen this?
08:25Christmas Chef Showdown?
08:28Grand prize of $50,000?
08:31Nothing to sniff at, huh?
08:32They want a mystery competitor.
08:34A local amateur cook to compete against their big-name chefs.
08:37Amateur?
08:38As in no talent required?
08:39It is a televised event.
08:41I could do this.
08:45I have alarm dennings in a cooking contest.
08:50What, scorched sardines again?
08:52That fish was flambéed.
08:54I don't think so.
08:55But if you did participate, having one of our oldest businesses would be great in my advertising.
09:01Yes, it would be amazing advertising for the inn, plus $50,000.
09:06You have to win to get that.
09:08You know what?
09:20I'll take two strawberry milkshakes to go, please.
09:22Thanks.
09:23Thanks.
09:27Do you have to keep playing with that thing?
09:29I don't have to, but if I don't fix it, this whole place will burn down.
09:33I'll try to be faster.
09:36Strawberry milkshakes.
09:38Oh, what's going on?
09:40Oh, you know, it's Christmas.
09:43You two have been doing amazing work lately.
09:45And?
09:46And I'm hoping you're willing to do a little extra hard work this coming week.
09:50So we're not hiring more help?
09:51What does extra mean?
09:53Just a couple of hours a day.
09:56I'm planning on entering the cooking competition in the festival.
10:00What?
10:01More charred cheesecake?
10:02Very funny.
10:04So take a look at this.
10:05They are looking for a local contestant.
10:07If I'm selected, there will be two other competitors, which means I have actually really good odds at winning this thing.
10:13You know the other two competitors are actual chefs, right?
10:16Professionals.
10:16I know that, but they specify that they want local talent, which means they probably just want some charm and fun, which I will bring.
10:24How exactly are you going to learn to cook in a week?
10:28Online tutorials.
10:30Matilda's cookbooks.
10:31I have a kitchen at my disposal.
10:34Okay, I know I'm not the best chef in the world.
10:36I get a little distracted.
10:38But if I have something to focus on, I'll be able to move mountains.
10:42Okay, you know I'm all about self-improvement and you becoming less of a fire hazard.
10:48But why on earth do you want to do this?
10:53We need this $50,000.
10:56The end's in a little bit of trouble.
10:58I was speaking with my grandma, who's been trying to balance the books, but it's bad.
11:03It's really bad, but if I win this prize money, this will at least bring us out of the red.
11:11The end actually closed?
11:12Not if I win this competition.
11:15I guess I could help Laura out with the guest services.
11:17Seems easy enough.
11:19I can help Brad with repairs.
11:21Have you ever held a hammer in your life?
11:22A hammer?
11:23What's a hammer?
11:25What's a girl to do?
11:26I know, I know this is a really big ask, but I can't do this without you.
11:34Okay, first step.
11:36Name.
11:37Abby Dennings.
11:40Easy.
11:41That's a lot of fine print.
11:43Are you a professional chef?
11:45I'm gonna go ahead and click the no box on that one.
11:48What's next?
11:50Application not processed until full payment of entrance fee received.
11:55$500?
11:59What?
11:59Who has $500 lying around?
12:02You could have a bake sale, sell 500 burned scones.
12:05No, the application deadline is tonight at midnight.
12:07I don't have time to burn that many scones.
12:11Abby, no.
12:13You better get to cooking.
12:14I need you to teach me how to cook.
12:32I need you to teach me how to cook.
12:33I'm not a chef anymore.
12:35Whatever, you still know how to cook.
12:36And apparently I'm also a snob.
12:38I know I'm being a little pushy right now, and I'm sorry for the way I spoke to you earlier.
12:43You actually?
12:44Look, I'm not asking you to be my friend.
12:46I know I really irritate you.
12:47But what I am asking for is a teacher.
12:50I'm really hoping to enter a cooking competition in the By the Bay Christmas Food Festival next week.
12:56Food Festival?
12:59Gary.
13:01Oh, come on.
13:02You're already bored out of your mind.
13:03You've been here for less than a day.
13:05You've got to find something to do.
13:07It's not going to be you cooking.
13:09It's going to be me.
13:09And it's not like I need to cook for the president.
13:11I just need to learn how to not set things on fire and not poison anybody.
13:15Yeah.
13:15Sorry, it's a steep learning curve.
13:18Gary.
13:19Yeah, it's your favorite client here.
13:21Just wondering why his overpaid lawyer dropped him off in the one place he's hosting a Christmas food festival.
13:26Call me back.
13:27So, that's it?
13:29Look, it's within your best interest not to be associated with me right now.
13:33Is it true?
13:35Did you cheat on that cooking competition?
13:39It's not a tough question.
13:41No one's actually ever asked me that before.
13:43My brother's memory was on the line.
13:44I barely even remember making the decision.
13:47Do you regret it?
13:48Every day.
13:49People make mistakes all the time.
13:52Celebrities are not.
13:53Scandals like mine kill careers.
13:55I've completely undone everything that David worked so hard for.
13:59You can't bring your brother back, but you can do everything in your power to continue his legacy.
14:04I've been ousted by my own company.
14:07I'm completely toxic within the industry.
14:11Nobody wants me.
14:12I want you.
14:14If I agree to this, you've got to know it's going to be long hours.
14:20Yes.
14:21Yes, I'll do anything.
14:22It'll be demanding and stressful, and you're probably going to hate me even more by the end of this.
14:27Yes.
14:27Yes.
14:35This is going to be a lot of hard work, okay?
14:39Yes, chef.
14:40And we also need to find another kitchen away from the inn.
14:43You are far too distracted.
14:45I know just the place.
14:46Cheryl's behind the cafe across the street.
14:48Okay, we start first thing in the morning.
14:507 a.m. sharp.
14:51Do not be late.
14:54I will not be late.
15:04You're late.
15:07No, I'm two minutes early.
15:08You're not even dressed for work.
15:10Go and change into something less flirty.
15:13I'm wearing a blouse.
15:15I have to look half decent to run the inn.
15:16It's not suitable for a kitchen.
15:18Go and change into something else.
15:21And tie your hair up.
15:23Hurry!
15:24Or you're really going to be late by the time you get back.
15:26Hey, chef.
15:36So, do I pass the inspection now?
15:39Excellent.
15:40Okay, first thing's first.
15:42What have you got to prep for the competition?
15:44There are three different challenges.
15:46The appetizer, the main course with a side dish, and a dessert.
15:49Okay, number one is giving me knife skills.
15:53This is a chef's knife.
15:55Ooh, I like this one.
15:57Put that down.
15:59Safety.
16:01Always safety.
16:02Got it.
16:05Hold the knife handle in the palm of your hands.
16:09You want to keep your thumb pressed against the blade.
16:12You want to try and keep the knife on the chopping board.
16:15Smooth motions.
16:18Okay?
16:20Okay.
16:21Chef, do you ever think I'll be able to chop air like you do?
16:24No.
16:25Slow and easy.
16:30No rushing.
16:32You want the curve side down.
16:34This hand, you're going to want back here in the celery.
16:37Away from the blade.
16:39And then just slow, easy movements.
16:45Smaller, more uniform pieces.
16:47All right, all right, so it looks nice.
16:50Chef, does celery bleed?
16:52No, celery does not bleed.
16:57Number two, no shortcuts.
17:00Okay, these distractions, they can get you really hurt.
17:03But cuts do happen.
17:05So number three, it used to blood.
17:08I'm going to get the first aid kit.
17:12Okay, Chef, I think we might have another problem.
17:14Why now?
17:16Whoa.
17:16It doesn't look deep.
17:22No, it's not that deep.
17:24You won't need stitches.
17:26Take care of that finger.
17:27You're going to need it in the future.
17:29You're the best.
17:30Thank you, Cheryl.
17:31If you're not going to listen to me, there is no point in me teaching you.
17:37I am going to listen, I promise.
17:40Okay, whoa, whoa, whoa.
17:41No, lesson is done for today.
17:43We were just getting started.
17:44Your head is not in the game, and I need to reevaluate my plan.
17:49Study this tonight.
17:50The pitches will help you with your technique.
17:53Do you have one with dummies in the title?
17:55Dummies, really?
17:56I would never agree to help you if I thought that.
17:58Oh, now you got me feeling all warm and fuzzy inside.
18:02Or maybe I'm still feeling lightheaded.
18:05There is a test in the morning.
18:08Okay, well, fingers crossed.
18:10Finger crossed that I don't amputate something tomorrow.
18:13That's not funny.
18:15Rule number four, no laughing in the kitchen.
18:18Preparing food for people is not a joke.
18:21It's an honor.
18:22Hey, why did you become a chef anyway?
18:24Be more occupied with yourself, Abby.
18:26If you want a chance at winning this competition,
18:29you need to find your purpose.
18:31Where is your focus at?
18:34Why do you need to win?
18:43Ah, not my friends' euchre.
18:47Ladies, enough with the table talk, please.
18:50Alice is my oldest friend.
18:52We don't table talk.
18:53We read each other's minds.
18:55Well, that's still cheating.
18:56Jason.
19:03I was just going to get some fresh air
19:04when I had the snapper cards at the table.
19:07You have good hearing.
19:08Well, they're here professionals.
19:09People who do anything to win.
19:11Yes.
19:12Fueled by tea and cookies.
19:14You have me at tea.
19:15Really?
19:16You're a tea connoisseur like the rest of us?
19:18Caffeine anything.
19:19I respect that.
19:21You were right.
19:22I need to focus on what's important.
19:25This?
19:28This right here is why I need to win this competition.
19:30The inn isn't just my home.
19:32It's a cornerstone in our community.
19:33And winning that prize money is going to keep it that way.
19:37Remember that for tomorrow's last meet.
19:41Jason, join us for a round.
19:43You should take my place.
19:45I have to make more tea.
19:46Can she make tea, Alice?
19:48Is that safe?
19:49Ha ha ha.
19:50Hey.
19:53Have you played much, Eucar?
19:55Not much.
20:04Okay.
20:08Knuckles tucked from in.
20:13My grandkids are not going to believe I played cards with Jason Corwin.
20:26Would you be a dear and sign your cookbook for my granddaughter?
20:31Alice mentioned you were staying here.
20:34Perhaps now is not the best time.
20:36Thank you, dear.
20:48Well, it's been an absolute pleasure to meet you all.
20:53Thank you very much for the game.
20:54It's okay to let yourself grieve.
21:05It's better to feel the emotion than to try to sweep it away.
21:10Once you've felt the loss, you can begin to heal.
21:16Thank you, Alice.
21:17I just wish I knew how.
21:21Lean on your friends.
21:23You have more support than you know.
21:25So, is he better than me?
21:51Good.
21:52Very good.
21:56Smaller slices.
21:57Remember, uniform slices.
21:59Right.
22:00Right.
22:01So, why did you sneak away so early last night?
22:05Okay.
22:05The kitchen needs discipline and restraint.
22:08Not gossip.
22:09It's not gossip.
22:10I just, I saw you having fun last night.
22:13It was nice to see you let your hair down a little bit.
22:15Okay.
22:15Just focus on the work.
22:17I'm trying to focus.
22:18Would you lighten up?
22:20I feel like I'm walking on eggshells here.
22:22Sorry, but this isn't the place to get personal.
22:25I'm just saying we don't have to spend the day chopping in brooding silence.
22:29You know, you can have some conversation with somebody who's trying to be your friend.
22:34You said you wanted a teacher, not a friend.
22:37Whoa.
22:38You played cards with my grandma last night.
22:40I'm sorry.
22:41We're friends now.
22:42Jason, you're helping me.
22:45Maybe I can help you a little bit.
22:46Abby, enough.
22:50Okay, now we are literally both walking on eggshells.
22:53Jason, why are you so hurt on yourself?
22:56Let's just clean up and move on.
23:02What are you doing?
23:03You are wound way too tight.
23:04You need to let loose a little bit.
23:06Stop it.
23:07Not until you drop one.
23:09On purpose.
23:09Abby, that is not going to happen.
23:11You can't just shut down all the time.
23:12It's okay to laugh a little bit when life gets messy.
23:15I'm not going to laugh.
23:16I'm ticked off.
23:17Well, that's a lot of anger over some broken eggs.
23:20You are the most...
23:21It's okay to be angry for a while.
23:23Grief is a process, but you can't just...
23:25Save it.
23:26All right?
23:26I know all about grief.
23:28Why do you think I'm here when everything that ever meant anything to me is in New York?
23:32Yesterday you asked me why I became a chef.
23:34It was David's dream.
23:36We did everything together.
23:37Same school, same job.
23:39I didn't want to do anything else because I knew whatever we did together, we'd be greater.
23:45I didn't just lose David.
23:47I lost half of myself.
23:51Well, if that's true, then you still have half of yourself left.
23:54We can't choose what happens in our lives, but we can choose what happens moving forward.
23:59Maybe it's time that you find a new path.
24:01I don't know who I am without him.
24:05You're Jason Corwin, and that's enough.
24:09You don't need to figure out everything today, but you can start by being yourself.
24:14An imperfect human being like the rest of us.
24:17So, stew on that.
24:22Okay, how did that feel?
24:24Better than anger.
24:26Yes.
24:28All right, what's next?
24:29I suppose scrambled eggs.
24:32Oh, sounds egg-cellent.
24:36That's a terrible pun.
24:38But I appreciate the egg-foot.
24:51Jenna, what are you doing at Brooks Point Harbor?
24:54Jason?
24:56Hey, you're the last person I thought I'd see here.
25:00Oh, a little higher on the left.
25:02What?
25:03I work for TNCN now.
25:05They're the festival's sponsor.
25:07Roger sent me down to do setup and to ensure the town was acceptable for his stay.
25:11Well, that's generous.
25:12I call it difficult.
25:13Or belligerent.
25:15Well, off the record, he's even worse after his promotion.
25:18He's so busy with the Corwin brothers, too.
25:21Yeah.
25:22Or Roger.
25:22Right, well, I got a lot of Roger's details to take care of.
25:26It was nice seeing you.
25:39How's my favorite client?
25:41Did you set me up?
25:43Putting me in the same town as Roger?
25:44Jason, look, I knew about the festival, but I didn't know that he was running it.
25:48Although, this could be a good opportunity for you.
25:52Do you hear what you just said?
25:54He's no longer my rival.
25:55He's just moved straight on into enemy.
25:57I'm getting the first flight out of here.
25:59I'm not going to sell to some big chain.
26:06Besides, I'm not going to have to sell at all.
26:08Abby's going to win the money and pay off our debts.
26:10Abby can barely boil water.
26:13She only has a chance of getting chosen because she's a pretty local with a historical cause.
26:17Plus, she'll be against top chefs.
26:19I believe in her.
26:21You need to think about what's best for the future.
26:22If I get you a substantial offer, you could live comfortably the rest of your life.
26:26You're a boss of all.
26:28So are you.
26:30Abby, Mayor Joan, I hope to get that water boiling technique on lockdown.
26:35I'm sure you will.
26:40Fran, I'm sorry you had to listen to that nonsense.
26:43I'm afraid she has a point.
26:45The bank is not going to wait forever before they foreclose.
26:48No, no, no, Gran, Gran, please don't sell just yet.
26:52The ads at the festival are going to bring in more guests.
26:54Plus, my practicing has been going really well.
26:57Look at these cookies.
26:58They're not burnt.
26:58Not even one of them.
26:59I believe you can win.
27:01But the fact is, if you don't, I'll have no other choice but to sell.
27:22Come in.
27:22Abby, I, um, is everything okay?
27:32Oh, yeah.
27:33Yeah, no, I'm just practicing outside of school hours, Chef.
27:37Cutting onions.
27:39Burning onions more likely.
27:41The pan is way too hot.
27:43Might as well just throw it out and start again.
27:44Right.
27:45I forgot.
27:46Medium-low heat for caramelization, right?
27:48Right.
27:48Hey, do you want a glass?
27:51I may not know the difference between my kale and my collards, but I take my wine very seriously.
28:00Cheers.
28:03Come on in.
28:04See, you have all the big names out tonight.
28:13It's good that you're doing the research.
28:18Abby, you're not cutting onions anymore.
28:20What's up?
28:20I told you finances were tight.
28:26If I don't win this competition, my grandma's going to have to sell the inn to one of those big chain motels in town.
28:32It's a lot of pressure to put in yourself.
28:35And that's just the half of it.
28:38You know, if she has to sell, I'll lose my job.
28:40My grandma's in the early stages of Parkinson's, and this is her last connection to my parents and my grandpa, too.
28:48So it's just really important for her mental health that she stay in the inn.
28:53Why do you keep doing that?
29:01Where's your necklace?
29:04I use the rings to raise the entrance fee for the competition, so if I lose, the rings are gone, too.
29:12How about that?
29:13Dinner and a show.
29:15It would be great for distraction management.
29:17The key is to breathe.
29:19Quiet the mind.
29:19The competition is going to be chaotic and noisy, so you might as well get used to it.
29:26Should I get some wooden spoons and pots and pans for your enjoyment?
29:30Hands off, I swear.
29:34Ugh.
29:45Okay, not bad.
29:46I'm sorry.
29:49It definitely could have used a lot more cheese.
29:51No apologies, no excuses.
29:53Whatever you put in front of someone is your masterpiece.
29:56Be proud of it.
29:58Okay, chef, honest opinion.
30:00What did you think of this masterpiece?
30:04The pasta could have used two more minutes, but other than that, it was pretty good.
30:07I have a question for you about your competition.
30:14How did you get disqualified?
30:17My popovers didn't rise two minutes before the buzzer went off, and my sous-chef offered his rosemary potatoes.
30:24Marcus later denied that he offered them to me and that he played any part in it.
30:28I was publicly shamed, and he got his own TV show.
30:32That doesn't seem right.
30:34I shouldn't have been in the competition, anyway.
30:36I was not in a good place after my brother died, but Roger persuaded me to do it, to honor David's memory.
30:42Well, I never had the pleasure of knowing David, but I think Jason Corwin's pretty great.
30:52Well, I should get going.
30:557 a.m. show.
30:57Crash course on main courses.
31:00You need to make sure you save the inn.
31:04Keep tomorrow night open for a field trip.
31:07I think you and I could use some fresh air after all this smoke inhalation that's been going on.
31:12Good.
31:12The old trip it is.
31:14Great.
31:15I'll pick you up at 8.
31:24I'm gonna regret this.
31:29It's beautiful.
31:33It's my favorite place to see the town at night.
31:36It's so calm and quiet.
31:39I've never seen anything like it in the city.
31:42There's so many stars.
31:46It's a hidden gem.
31:49This is magical.
31:52Wow.
31:53This is beautiful.
32:04Wow, this is beautiful.
32:21I would have killed to have produce like this as a chef.
32:24Carrots.
32:25I just want carrots.
32:34It looks like the TNCA crew has arrived.
32:42I'm going to let Laura check on this.
32:45Can you join?
32:46I've actually got some errands to run.
32:49Okay.
32:49Will I catch you later?
32:50Yeah, sure.
33:02I need you out there.
33:03The rooms are ready to go, but I'm not sure they're checking in.
33:07What?
33:10Whatever the guests want, they get.
33:12We have to make sure everybody's happy.
33:14Matilda's RV broke down.
33:15She won't be back for a few days.
33:17Okay, we'll need to organize the meal vouchers for everybody until she gets back.
33:20Hmm.
33:21Meal vouchers?
33:22For that diner?
33:24Is this some kind of joke?
33:25Merry Christmas.
33:26My name's Abby Dennings.
33:27I'm the manager here at Brooks Poiton.
33:29You are the mystery cook on our Christmas chef showdown.
33:32What?
33:33Did I get selected?
33:35You haven't heard?
33:36No.
33:37Somebody from my team was supposed to contact Joan, and then Joan was supposed to contact you,
33:41and somewhere I must have fallen through the cracks, but congratulations, you have been selected.
33:47Thank you so much.
33:48I'm Roger Evans, VP of Communications and Executive Producer at the National Cooking Network.
33:53Well, it's so lovely to meet you, Mr. Evans.
33:56We're so excited to have you here.
33:57I'm sure you are.
33:58Now, I only agree to these accommodations because I was told they include breakfast and dinner here at the inn.
34:06Now, I'm having a very important line to wine and dine with tonight, and if that kitchen is not running, I'll be more than happy to find somewhere else to stay.
34:16I'm taking the entire crew with me.
34:18You know what?
34:18That won't be necessary.
34:20Our chef has just had a slight delay outside of town, but she'll be-
34:22And Abby has hired an even better chef, Laura.
34:25Excellent.
34:25Problem solved.
34:27Mr. Evans, wait.
34:28I've been waiting for too long, Ms. Dunnings.
34:30Now, are you able to provide dinner or not?
34:33Yes.
34:34We'll have dinner ready for you at 7 o'clock tonight.
34:37Well, then, it looks as if I'm checking in after all.
34:40Wonderful.
34:43Is there anyone to pick up my luggage?
34:46Oh, absolutely.
34:51Laura, why did you say that?
34:52I panicked.
34:53We couldn't let him leave.
34:54All right, stay here and check in the rest of our guests, and I have to go prep dinner service.
34:58Do you want me to call Jason?
34:59Nope.
35:00No, I got this.
35:05Welcome to the Brooks Point Inn.
35:16Abby, what's going on?
35:17Sorry, but I tried.
35:19Abby, no buts.
35:20It's like everything I told you over the last week has just disappeared into thin air.
35:24Jason, that's not true.
35:25I'm just trying to...
35:26Jason.
35:26Jason, put me down.
35:27I have to cook dinner.
35:29Take your breath.
35:30What's going on?
35:32Matilda isn't back.
35:33But Roger Evans is here, and he's here with his entire crew, and he's threatening to leave if I don't have dinner ready for them tonight.
35:39Take a breath.
35:41The festival's a few days away, and I thought I had this whole cooking thing in the bag, but then I got here and I panicked.
35:46And there's no way I'm going to win that festival, and my grandma's going to have to sell this in, and it's...
35:50I needed to breathe.
36:01Why didn't you just call me?
36:03Because you don't work here.
36:05And honestly, I didn't know if you'd come.
36:07After everything we've been through this week, you think I'd abandon you now?
36:11Abby, you're the only reason I'm still here.
36:13Jason, I wanted your help, but I...
36:15Take this.
36:21Every chef needs one.
36:25It's amazing.
36:34No.
36:39Jason, I don't know what to say.
36:40Well, that is a first.
36:43How long do you cook chicken supreme?
36:45Until it's done?
36:49There she is.
37:05Looks again.
37:07What do you think it's miserable?
37:11I felt so anxious.
37:12You practically looked clean.
37:14What a rush.
37:19Nothing like it.
37:20Jason, I can't thank you enough.
37:22You held your own in there.
37:24You should be proud of yourself.
37:25Wow.
37:26This is a little weird.
37:27I kind of miss you yelling at me.
37:29I never yelled at you.
37:31Okay, but you wanted to, though.
37:32Wanting to is very different.
37:34You've done wonders for my patients.
37:36You were right.
37:37I didn't think I was ready to step back into dinner service.
37:41But I actually had a lot of fun.
37:43If it wasn't for you, I never would have found my way back to the kitchen.
37:45I can fill in for Matilda until she comes back.
38:00That way we can carry on doing this, and you can keep on training.
38:03Really?
38:03No.
38:07No.
38:08I'm so grateful for everything you've done, but I can't afford to hire a Michelin star chef.
38:21There.
38:22Now you've paid me.
38:24We're even.
38:26I was worth every penny.
38:27Pardon me.
38:32I didn't mean to interrupt.
38:34Hello, Roger.
38:36Jason?
38:38You working here?
38:40What a surprise.
38:41No, Jason doesn't work here.
38:45Everyone's wondering where you've been.
38:47And here you are.
38:50Well, thank you both for a delightful dinner.
38:52Eddie, I'll have Chanel drop off your signed contract at the front desk.
38:55Although I'm not entirely certain, I'll be proceeding with the competition.
38:59What?
39:02I need this.
39:04Sivarnstall has pneumonia, which leaves me with Clara Tesker and you.
39:08Now, I need a professional second chef for my audience.
39:12I need a...
39:14Wow.
39:14You're a local caller.
39:16And I know you hate every single project I do, but you are back in the kitchen, aren't you?
39:20Oh, Jason would love to step in.
39:22Done.
39:24Tomorrow.
39:25Two o'clock.
39:27Okay.
39:28I know I shouldn't have jumped in, but this will give you a chance to clear your name.
39:32Abby, I don't want to compete against you.
39:33Jason, you are at your happiest when you are cooking in a kitchen.
39:37You belong on that stage.
39:41Do this for you.
39:49That's great.
39:50Go ahead and turn right.
39:53Okay.
39:55Go in.
39:57You're almost there?
39:58Really.
39:58Okay, and sit to your left.
40:01No peeking.
40:02I'm not.
40:03And open your eyes.
40:15So, what can I get for you guys today?
40:17Two BLTs on rye, please, Gail.
40:20Sure.
40:22What?
40:23The Jason Corwin in a diner?
40:25Well, I hear the BLTs are to die for.
40:29I also hear Gail got some of your famous Christmas pudding.
40:33Easy.
40:33You're not getting that recipe.
40:35It's a family secret.
40:39All right, so we've got two BLTs on rye, and two strawberry shakes on the house.
40:44And the famous pudding.
40:55Unbelievable.
40:59Abby, you need to get to the hospital.
41:01Alice had a spell.
41:08Graham, what happened?
41:09I tripped on the area rug in my room, and I knocked my head on the table by the door.
41:15Were you feeling dizzy again?
41:17No, Abby, I just tripped.
41:19It's nothing to fuss about.
41:20We don't know that.
41:22Grant, I need you to be okay.
41:24And I am okay, Abby, really.
41:27But there is one thing I would like to get off my chest.
41:32I've been diagnosed with Parkinson's.
41:34My symptoms aren't severe at the moment, but I haven't felt comfortable leaving the inn for a few weeks.
41:43I didn't tell you because I didn't want you treating me any differently.
41:48And Oscar?
41:50I'm still going to beat you if you hurt badly.
41:55I know you will, Alice.
41:56I know you will.
41:58We'll face whatever's coming together, as we always have.
42:02Mm-hmm.
42:03Absolutely.
42:03You should see me in the kitchen.
42:11He's so confident.
42:13He knows exactly what he's doing.
42:14He's just, he's so passionate.
42:17Abby, you like him.
42:20No, he's just, he'll have to go back to his life eventually.
42:26Last week you wanted me to stay.
42:27Now you want me to come home.
42:29What's changed?
42:30Roger's frozen line is hurting the brand.
42:32The board wants you back on as chairman.
42:35Why do I want to go back to everything that made me so miserable?
42:38Roger is hawking discounted frozen foods made with the cheapest ingredients he can find from who knows what sources under your name.
42:45That can't sit right with you, Jason.
42:47Of course it doesn't.
42:49Well, then you need to head up your own company.
42:55Email me their proposal.
42:57I bumped into Roger.
42:58Long story short, I'm in the TNCN competition.
43:01What?
43:02Arneson pulled out.
43:03They needed a replacement.
43:04I'm here.
43:05It was last minute.
43:06Just be careful.
43:08I know.
43:12Abby Dennings.
43:14Table for one?
43:15Well, look who it is.
43:17What are you doing by yourself?
43:18The two lovebirds are over there by the pie table.
43:23Laura and Brad?
43:26Nice.
43:28How about a date to the crepe table with a scandal-ridden, moody ex-chef?
43:33I'm okay with scandal-ridden and moody, but what kind of crepes are we talking about?
43:38Lady's choice.
43:40Whit cream.
43:40That's your choice.
43:44Okay, forget it.
43:45Date's off.
43:46What?
43:46Why?
43:47You can have fresh berries, cured ham, jams, and you choose whipped cream.
43:52You have the palate of a six-year-old.
43:55Six-year-olds know what's up.
43:58Howie.
44:10There are so many people here right now.
44:15The whole town is behind you.
44:18A very charming Michelin-star chef is also rooting for you.
44:22Okay.
44:23I'm ready when you are.
44:25Ready.
44:27Graham!
44:28Halloween!
44:30Are you sure you're up for this?
44:31You've had such a long day already.
44:33Okay.
44:34Either you want me to get out more, or you don't.
44:38But don't go changing your mind on me.
44:40I'm sorry.
44:41We love you.
44:42We love you.
44:45Go get them.
44:47Couldn't go get your steaks.
44:48Okay.
44:48Okay.
44:53Hi.
44:54I'm Abby Dennings.
44:57I'm the mystery contestant.
44:58I'm just a huge fan of yours.
45:00It's nice to meet you.
45:01So, how long have you been cooking for?
45:03Oh, you know, a couple weeks.
45:08Good luck.
45:10I don't know if I can do this.
45:15Yes, you can.
45:17Win or lose, you're going to do it spectacularly.
45:19Remember, when you're up there, it is just you and the ingredients.
45:23Nothing else matters.
45:25You're going to be great.
45:35Welcome to a Christmas Chef Showdown.
45:38I would like to introduce you to our MC for this competition, Marcus Aiken.
45:42Welcome to the TNCN Christmas Chef Showdown, where two of the best chefs in the country...
45:49Marcus, my sous chef.
45:51You mean the one who forgot to have your back?
45:53Yeah, but if it wasn't for him, I'd still be in New York, lonely and miserable.
45:59So, if anything, I owe him.
46:00You'll be making an appetizer, a main dish with a side, and a dessert.
46:05Each dish will receive a maximum of 10 points.
46:08After the third course, the chef with the highest point tally will win $50,000.
46:14Now, please give a warm welcome to our contestants, Clara Tasker, Jason Corwin of Corwin Brothers in Manhattan.
46:27And now, it's time to meet our mystery cook.
46:32Brooks Point Harbor's very own, Abby Dennings.
46:36Miss Dennings manages the Brooks Point Inn right here in town.
46:40Chef, you must be dying to know this competition's theme.
46:45Your theme is...

49:50Thank you very much
49:51In front of the gingerbread cookies
49:56There's so many of them
49:58Wave to my grandkids
49:59Abby
50:02Great work out there
50:04Thanks
50:05Jason was instrumental
50:06in helping me prepare for the competition
50:08I bet
50:08He's a master of flavor and texture
50:10I miss working with him
50:11You should speak with him
50:13I know
50:15Marcus
50:18Would you excuse us?
50:20Nice chatting with you
50:21You're doing wonderfully
50:25in this competition
50:26Actually far beyond my expectations
50:28Thank you
50:29There is one little detail
50:31that's kind of bothering me though
50:33When you signed the contract
50:35you stated that
50:36you never hired anyone
50:37from TNCN
50:38and yet
50:38that's not entirely true
50:40right?
50:41Yes it is
50:42You paid Jason
50:44to cook for your guests
50:45I saw it with my own eyes
50:47Are you talking about
50:49that pocket change thing?
50:50Because that was a total joke
50:51And besides
50:52Jason doesn't work for TNCN anymore
50:54You cancelled his show
50:55On air or not
50:56he's still on the contract
50:58Which
50:59for you my dear
51:01constitutes
51:02a violation of contract
51:04Roger
51:04I have to compete
51:06in this competition
51:06Oh no
51:07I'm not kicking you out
51:09of the competition
51:09However
51:10I need Clara
51:12to win
51:12So let me get this straight
51:15You want me to lose
51:16on purpose?
51:17Or what?
51:18You'll expose me
51:19on national TV
51:20due to some clerical error?
51:21Do you really think
51:22that Jason can withstand
51:23another scandal?
51:24Because that is exactly
51:28what's going to happen
51:29if this involvement
51:29comes to light
51:30Jason had nothing
51:33to do with this
51:34I was the one
51:35who signed that contract
51:37It doesn't matter
51:38I will make the public
51:39believe what I want
51:40them to believe
51:41in perceptions
51:41of wrongdoing
51:42and would only ensure
51:43that Jason never
51:44sets foot
51:45in a professional kitchen
51:46again
51:47This is disgusting
51:48This is business Abby
51:49I am looking forward

53:29Brooks Point Inn
53:30Okay, cut
53:33Abby
53:34Backstage
53:35Did you really think
53:39I wasn't serious?
53:41That I wouldn't
53:41destroy him?
53:43I'm sending
53:44that press release
53:45Oh, Roger
53:47You know how
53:48older people
53:48are really bad
53:49with technology
53:50What?
53:51Well, that's a myth
53:52My friend Eloise
53:54just bought a new
53:54SD card
53:55She likes to take
53:56a lot of videos
53:56And she just sent
53:57me this
53:58Of you threatening
54:00me
54:00You know it's bogus
54:01But do you think
54:03that Jason
54:03never stand
54:04in another scandal
54:05because that is
54:06exactly what's
54:07going to happen
54:07if this moment
54:08comes to light
54:09Jason has nothing
54:11to do with this
54:11I signed that contract
54:13It doesn't matter
54:14I'll make
54:14Chips
54:24Crisps
54:25I wish I had pudding
54:29Roger really is a piece
54:33of work
54:34I'm sorry he did that
54:36to you
54:36Marcus?
54:43Hey Jason
54:45It was good to see you
54:47back in the kitchen
54:48It was good to see you too
54:49Jason, I'm sorry
54:51I never had the guts
54:54to tell you the truth
54:55Your popovers
54:57didn't rise
54:57because I replaced
54:59the all-purpose flour
54:59with pastry flour
55:01You what?
55:03I sabotaged you
55:04then I suggested
55:05you use what I cooked
55:06I appreciate
55:08you telling me that
55:09Everyone knew
55:10your head wasn't
55:11in the game
55:12That only made it
55:12easier for Roger
55:13It was Roger's idea
55:15He can read people
55:17He saw I was ambitious
55:19and he promised me
55:20my own show
55:21if I did what he wanted
55:22It was me that
55:24forgot the rules
55:24I appreciate you telling me
55:27but I have to take
55:28responsibility
55:28for my own play
55:29I'm so sorry, Jason
55:31I have no right
55:32to expect your forgiveness
55:33Thank you
55:35There you go
55:43Thank you
55:43Thank you
55:44You gotta be kidding me
55:48This is a cruel
55:49Christmas joke

55:56Well, I thought
55:57I would make it
55:57like the first time
