00:00:00You
00:00:05I love this place
00:00:07Every twinkling light
00:00:09Every tray of sugar
00:00:10Cookies, but love doesn't pay the rent
00:00:12If something doesn't change soon
00:00:14Sweet
00:00:15Sweet Claire's Bakery won't make it to the new year
00:00:17I could really use a Christmas mirror
00:00:20It's a miracle
00:00:25Oh my god
00:00:29Are you okay?
00:00:30Oh
00:00:32Oh
00:00:34Oh
00:00:35I'm fine
00:00:39I'm fine
00:00:40Don't bother calling an ambulance
00:00:41The roads are packed
00:00:44Sorry
00:00:45I didn't mean to crash her
00:00:47Oh
00:00:48Oh
00:00:49Oh
00:00:50This is Holly Creek
00:00:51And we don't leave anyone in the snow
00:00:54One moment of peace
00:00:55That's all I wanted
00:00:56One moment where I wasn't Nicholas Rudolph
00:00:58The air
00:00:59The air
00:01:00The sun
00:01:01The puppet
00:01:02When I asked for a Christmas
00:01:05A miracle
00:01:06I meant one to save my bakery
00:01:08But instead of
00:01:10Gorgeous stranger
00:01:11Is in my lap
00:01:12Gorgeous stranger
00:01:13Is in my lap
00:01:14Not that I'm complaining
00:01:15Yes
00:01:16You still haven't told me
00:01:17You still haven't told me
00:01:20me your name or what you're doing in Holly Creek. Well, I'm Nick Rudolph.
00:01:25I was just passing through on business, but the storm had other plans for me.
00:01:30They tend to do that around here. Thanks for not leaving me out there.
00:01:35I could never. You're welcome to hang out.
00:01:40Until the storm passes, but keep in mind.
00:01:45Everyone watches everyone in this small town, so folks already know that I brought you here.
00:01:50And the sheriff lives next door.
00:01:52Great. Well, don't try anything funny.
00:01:55Claire, oh my God.
00:02:00Look what I found taped to the bakery door.
00:02:04You don't come up with the...
00:02:05Rent money ASAP.
00:02:06Sweet Claire's Bakery is gone.
00:02:10But forget pesky foreclosure for a second.
00:02:13Who's the Christmas cookie?
00:02:15I'm Nick.
00:02:19Claire rescued me.
00:02:20Oh, it's a Christmas miracle.
00:02:23What?
00:02:23Nick.
00:02:25Nick, you can rescue Claire right back by entering the Christmas couples contest with her.
00:02:30I mean, winning would pay the bakery's rent for a year.
00:02:32Tessa, be serious, okay?
00:02:34I'm not...
00:02:35Parading around town, faking a relationship with a stranger.
00:02:38I mean...
00:02:40Claire, you did rescue me tonight.
00:02:41I really don't mind repaying the favor.
00:02:44I don't...
00:02:45I like having unpaid debts.
00:02:47Kindness isn't a debt.
00:02:50Besides, how would I explain to my daughter that her mother's boyfriend is actually a scam?
00:02:55To win a contest.
00:02:56You want to save the bakery, don't you?
00:03:00Fine!
00:03:02Okay, that's all then.
00:03:04Um...
00:03:05And according to the contest rules, you technically have to be married, so congratulations!
00:03:10Wait, what?
00:03:11What?
00:03:13What?
00:03:14It's...
00:03:14It's...
00:03:15It's...
00:03:20It's...
00:03:23I'm...
00:03:27Not exactly the thing I was expecting.
00:03:32Hello? Why aren't you answering?
00:03:37I will look after you and Sophie. I promise.
00:03:41Okay.
00:03:42Well, the contest ends on Christmas Eve, so...
00:03:47You just have to be fake married for 12 days.
00:03:5012 days of Christmas.
00:03:52Of course.
00:03:55We can just wear these when we leave the house.
00:03:57Great.
00:03:58Luckily, I work remote, so...
00:04:00I have nowhere to be.
00:04:02Right.
00:04:03Oh, um...
00:04:06Sweet.
00:04:07Hey!
00:04:08This is my friend Nick.
00:04:10Um...
00:04:11We...
00:04:12Kind of enter the Christmas couples contest together and...
00:04:15We'll...
00:04:17Now we are sort of married?
00:04:19I know that it's not honest, but, um...
00:04:23Ugh.
00:04:24Mom, stop.
00:04:25You're doing it to save the bakery.
00:04:27Why aren't you?
00:04:29I can't lose it.
00:04:30So...
00:04:32I know.
00:04:33Me neither.
00:04:34I'm keeping an eye on you.
00:04:36There are...
00:04:37Fair enough.
00:04:38What's your credit score?
00:04:43Listen.
00:04:44Before you sleep here, I need to make sure you're not a...
00:04:47Serial killer.
00:04:49Absolutely.
00:04:50Okay.
00:04:52Uh...
00:04:53You said your name is Nick Rudolph?
00:04:54Type Nicholas instead of Nick, and you'd...
00:04:57See the weight I left behind.
00:04:58The company.
00:04:59The fortune.
00:05:00The fiancee.
00:05:03Nothing suspicious.
00:05:06Guess you...
00:05:07Pass the test, fake husband.
00:05:11I was worried there for a minute.
00:05:12So...
00:05:15So...
00:05:16What do you do?
00:05:17Mr. Rudolph?
00:05:18I do...
00:05:20Consulting.
00:05:21I...
00:05:22Finance.
00:05:23You know, a little this, a little that.
00:05:24It's, you know...
00:05:25A little, uh, guiding Santa sleigh on Christmas.
00:05:27See you.
00:05:28Okay.
00:05:29That's the one Rudolph joke you get.
00:05:32Why would you even agree to this?
00:05:35It's...
00:05:36Been a minute since I've done...
00:05:37Been something kind for...
00:05:38Someone else.
00:05:39So I figure...
00:05:40Fake marriage...
00:05:43Beautiful woman...
00:05:45There are definitely bigger crosses to bear.
00:05:48How about you?
00:05:49How about you?
00:05:53No matter how hard I fight...
00:05:54I...
00:05:55Can't save my bakery.
00:05:58It's my whole world.
00:06:01We don't win.
00:06:02I'm gonna lose it.
00:06:03I'm gonna lose it.
00:06:07I'm gonna lose it.
00:06:09Hey.
00:06:11We're gonna win.
00:06:12Oh, yeah.
00:06:17How about you?
00:06:17You
00:06:22Where are you call me?
00:06:27You
00:06:32What are you hiding, Nick Rudolph?
00:06:37Oh
00:06:42Sorry, I didn't see you
00:06:44Good morning to you too, bye
00:06:47You
00:06:52Good morning
00:06:54We're married now, sweetheart
00:06:57There's no harm in looking
00:06:58I wasn't looking, I
00:07:01I was forced to look
00:07:02When you planted yourself into my view
00:07:04With your
00:07:04Body
00:07:06And
00:07:07Oh well
00:07:08I mean, I can take it off if you want
00:07:09No
00:07:12There will be none of that
00:07:17My daughter will be up soon
00:07:19So
00:07:19If you'll excuse me
00:07:22I have laundry to do
00:07:27I have laundry to do this way
00:07:30That way
00:07:31Huh?
00:07:32I will not be making you
00:07:32Wherever peopleăm
00:07:34And
00:07:35I know
00:07:36You
00:07:37My daughter
00:07:38You

00:08:01You
00:08:01You
00:08:02We met at the Christmas market of course our hands touched reaching
00:08:07for the same gingerbread cookie.
00:08:10He is good too.
00:08:12Sounds like fate.
00:08:14Sure does.
00:08:17You two are going to win the contest.
00:08:20I can feel it.
00:08:22I sure hope so.
00:08:27Phew.
00:08:32Wow, it smells amazing in here.
00:08:33Thank you so much.
00:08:35What can I get for you?
00:08:36Oh, I...
00:08:37I'd love a dozen sugar cookies.
00:08:39And I'd like six of your candy cane cookies, please.
00:08:42And I'll take six of each of those cookies, too, darling.
00:08:45Sounds great.
00:08:46Those will be ready.
00:08:47In just a minute.
00:08:48This is the busiest I've been in months.
00:08:51Maybe people are starting...
00:08:52having to remember this place exists.
00:08:55I can help.
00:08:56You don't need to.
00:08:57Uh...
00:09:01How...
00:09:02Did you even...
00:09:03Okay, we need to get you an apron.
00:09:05You are a disaster.
00:09:06What a...
00:09:07A charming one, right?
00:09:08What if this wasn't just pretend?
00:09:12We'll add some wedding cookies to my order, too.
00:09:15Uh...
00:09:16Of course...
00:09:17Of course!
00:09:18She's...
00:09:22Stole my fiancée.
00:09:23Oh, she'll pay for it.
00:09:27Uh...
00:09:28Uh...
00:09:29Uh...
00:09:30Uh...
00:09:31Uh...
00:09:32Uh...
00:09:32Uh...
00:09:33Uh...
00:09:34Uh...
00:09:35Uh...
00:09:36Uh...
00:09:37Damn...
00:09:38I mean, darn...
00:09:37Uh...
00:09:38I gotta take this.
00:09:39I'll be right back.
00:09:40I'm so sorry.
00:09:41No.
00:09:42No, sure.
00:09:42Yeah.
00:09:43Your phone is obviously important.
00:09:47Uh...
00:09:48Uh...
00:09:49Uh...
00:09:50Uh...
00:09:51Uh...
00:09:52Uh...
00:09:53I thought I smelled sulfur in the air.
00:09:55End this charade before you really-
00:09:57You win us.
00:09:58Us.
00:09:59No.
00:10:00You mean the Empire.
00:10:01The name.
00:10:02The brand.
00:10:02That's all you've ever cared about?
00:10:03Of course.
00:10:04And you would throw it all away?
00:10:07The status.
00:10:08The power.
00:10:10The power.
00:10:12The billions of dollars.
00:10:14All for what?
00:10:15Some small taxes.
00:10:17Downtown Baker.
00:10:18For a real life.
00:10:19I am done.
00:10:20Being your puppet.
00:10:22I don't need the company.
00:10:24I don't need Hunter.
00:10:25And I sure as hell don't need a fortune if it means living-
00:10:27a life that's not mine.
00:10:28You will marry Hunter.
00:10:32The data set.
00:10:33The press is waiting.
00:10:35And this ring-
00:10:37belongs.
00:10:38On her finger.
00:10:39And you will.
00:10:40Put it there.
00:10:42Some.
00:10:43Or else.
00:10:44Some.
00:10:45Or else.
00:10:47No.
00:10:48That choice was never mine.
00:10:50And it never will be.
00:10:52And maybe I'll regret it.
00:10:54But at least then it'll be my choice.
00:10:56And not-
00:10:57yours mother.
00:10:58Then you were a bigger fool than I feared.
00:11:02That's the last time you-
00:11:06That's the last time you-
00:11:07What the hell was that about?
00:11:12Mom, are you okay?
00:11:15Okay, honey.
00:11:17Why don't you go brush your teeth and get into bed?
00:11:19I'll tuck you in soon.
00:11:20Fine.
00:11:22Nicholas...
00:11:27Huh?
00:11:30Huh?
00:11:33But there aren't any photos of this, Nicholas.
00:11:36Could he...
00:11:37Could he really be my name?
00:11:39That's ridiculous.
00:11:40He can't be.
00:11:41Why would he lie?
00:11:42Why would he lie about who he is?
00:11:43Oh.
00:11:44Oh.
00:11:45Oh.
00:11:46Oh.
00:11:47Claire?
00:11:51Claire?
00:11:52Who are you really?
00:11:53Nick?
00:11:54Who keeps bull-
00:11:55Who keeps bull-
00:11:56Who keeps bull-
00:11:57blowing up your phone?
00:11:58Who is that woman outside?
00:12:00I borrowed a suitcase from my friend, Nicholas.
00:12:02This is his luggage tag.
00:12:04What is going on?
00:12:05It just happened to somehow-
00:12:07You wanna be best friends with a billionaire who shares your exact name?
00:12:09No.
00:12:10He's Nicholas.
00:12:11I'm Nick.
00:12:12It's a pretty common first name and Rudolph is a pretty standard last name too.
00:12:16Is it not-
00:12:17No.
00:12:18Yeah.
00:12:19Trust me.
00:12:20Wouldn't want anyone mistaking me for a billionaire.
00:12:22What about the rest of my questions?
00:12:24Okay.
00:12:25The one-
00:12:27The women outside and the phone calls and text messages- it's all work-related.
00:12:32I didn't tell anyone I was leaving town or that I'd be staying through Christmas.
00:12:35Oh.
00:12:36Oh.
00:12:37If you need to go-
00:12:38No.
00:12:39No, no, no.
00:12:40Claire.
00:12:41Come here.
00:12:42I want to be here.
00:12:43I want you to win the contest.
00:12:45I promise.
00:12:46There's nothing-
00:12:47What do you need to worry about?
00:12:48Can I help you clean up?
00:12:50Yeah.
00:13:10Now I know where you live, bitch.
00:13:12Mom!
00:13:13Mom!
00:13:14Mom!
00:13:15Honey, what's wrong?
00:13:16There was a lady-
00:13:17outside my window.
00:13:18She was watching us.
00:13:19What?!
00:13:22I-I don't see anybody.
00:13:25She was there!
00:13:26I saw her!
00:13:27I believe you, sweetie.
00:13:28Okay?
00:13:29But-
00:13:30Don't worry.
00:13:31I'm right here.
00:13:32Sophie.
00:13:33Stay with your mom.
00:13:34I'll go make sure it's safe.
00:13:37Bye.
00:13:38Bye.
00:13:39Bye.
00:13:40Bye.
00:13:42Bye.
00:13:47Bye.
00:13:48Bye.
00:13:49Bye.
00:13:50You missed me?
00:13:52Bye.
00:13:53Bye.
00:13:54Bye.
00:13:55Bye.
00:13:56Bye.
00:13:57Bye.
00:13:58Bye.
00:13:59Bye.
00:14:00Bye.
00:14:01Bye.
00:14:02Bye.
00:14:03Bye.
00:14:04Whoever she is, he shot her down fast.
00:14:07But they look so good to...
00:14:09If Nick has a chance with someone who looks like that, I wouldn't blame him.
00:14:13I'm a...
00:14:14Mess.
00:14:15Oh, really?
00:14:17Yes.
00:14:18Really.
00:14:19Now, I told you to back off.
00:14:21I know we have a plan, but I just...
00:14:23I need some time to...
00:14:24I need some time to think.
00:14:24Okay?
00:14:25She's relentless.
00:14:28Maybe Nick could use some...
00:14:29Back up.
00:14:29Mm-hmm.
00:14:33Huh.
00:14:34You.
00:14:35Excuse me?
00:14:37Oh, you must be the...
00:14:39Owner of this little shop.
00:14:40It's cute.
00:14:42Shame about the dick.
00:14:44And the core and that yeasty smell.
00:14:47Triple chocolate turnover.
00:14:49Freshly baked.
00:14:50Care to try one?
00:14:52Oh, I wouldn't eat a thing.
00:14:54From this podunk town, let alone your bakery.
00:14:57Well, then perhaps you don't have any...
00:14:59Business here.
00:15:00You're welcome to leave.
00:15:02Oh, gladly, sweetie.
00:15:04You know, you couldn't pay me to get out of here fast enough.
00:15:08Oh!
00:15:08Oh!
00:15:09Are you serious?
00:15:11This coat is Marc Jacobs.
00:15:13It's...
00:15:14Dry-clean only.
00:15:15Oh!
00:15:16Oh!
00:15:16Oh!
00:15:18Oh!
00:15:18Oh!
00:15:19I'm so sorry.
00:15:24She's...a lot.
00:15:27Everybody's got that one per-
00:15:29Yeah.
00:15:30She and I have closed a lot of deals together.
00:15:34She's had it bad for me for years.
00:15:38Lucky you.
00:15:39No.
00:15:41No, I'm not interested at all.
00:15:44I should have told her the truth about Hunter.
00:15:46But I'm trying to forget all about that life.
00:15:48Just for a little while.
00:15:49Meet me tomorrow night.
00:15:54No excuses.
00:15:59All right, whoopper.
00:16:03All right.
00:16:04Who made the gingerbread cookies?
00:16:06Sweet.
00:16:07Only if I get to try one first.
00:16:08You bet.
00:16:09One.
00:16:10It's supposed to be pretend.
00:16:12So why does it feel real?
00:16:14She makes me forget why I ever had to lie.
00:16:19I'd be here all day if you do this, you know.
00:16:23You can't.
00:16:24Try something.
00:16:27Try something.
00:16:28Try something.
00:16:29Try something.
00:16:30Try something.
00:16:31Try something.
00:16:33If only other-
00:16:34messes were this easy to clean up.
00:16:39Perfect.
00:16:41Almost perfect.
00:16:44Perfect.
00:16:49Wow, sorry to-
00:16:54Interrupt.
00:16:55Don't be sorry.
00:16:56We weren't doing anything.
00:16:58Uh-huh.
00:16:59Sure.
00:17:01Uh, I should get home anyway.
00:17:04And Tuxophian.
00:17:07I want to maybe-
00:17:09Tuck her in with me.
00:17:11I actually have some phone calls I have to make.
00:17:15But I'll be there later.
00:17:17Right.
00:17:18Of course.
00:17:19I don't want my real husband.
00:17:20You've got business to do.
00:17:21That was a silly idea.
00:17:24I like-
00:17:28I like-
00:17:29I like-
00:17:30I like mom.
00:17:31I know, sweetie.
00:17:33Just remember-
00:17:34She's not really a part of her family.
00:17:36But you're married.
00:17:38I-
00:17:39I know that it's complicated.
00:17:41Um-
00:17:42We just can't get too attached.
00:17:43Okay.
00:17:44Cause-
00:17:45At some point-
00:17:46He's gonna have to leave.
00:17:48But-
00:17:49But-
00:17:50What if I want him to stay?
00:17:52That's-
00:17:53To him.
00:17:54You want him to stay, right?
00:17:57I guess-
00:17:58I said-
00:17:59It's complicated.
00:18:00I love you, sweetie.
00:18:02I love you, sweetie.
00:18:03I love you.
00:18:04I love you.
00:18:08I love you.
00:18:09I love you.
00:18:10I love you.
00:18:12Welcome in!
00:18:13I-
00:18:14I-
00:18:15I just had to come back to see your charming little-
00:18:18shop and check if things got any better.
00:18:20Ooh.
00:18:21It's good to see you.
00:18:22You look-
00:18:23You look a little less...powdery...today.
00:18:25You know...
00:18:28None of this is Nick, by the way.
00:18:32He's on a break.
00:18:33I know his real life, but that's all this is. A break.
00:18:36I'm not holding him hostage.
00:18:38Oh no, of course you're not.
00:18:40But once he's tired of this little Sherrod Hill lead...
00:18:43And you'll go back to your small, dull life.
00:18:46I love my life.
00:18:49Sure you do, sweetie.
00:18:52Missed a spot.
00:18:53You really gotta cut back on the yeast.
00:18:58Check this out
00:19:03I can't be cold, I can't be cold, I can't be cold.
00:19:09Stay away from Claire. Stop coming to the bakery.
00:19:12Or what?
00:19:13You'll give everything up for a small-town loser?
00:19:17Oh, God...
00:19:18No.
00:19:19I gave you up.
00:19:21Please, you won't.
00:19:23You've always been so dramatic.
00:19:25This is not you, Nick. Stop pretending.
00:19:28I'm telling you, stop this right now.
00:19:32Oh, we both know that...
00:19:33There's no way out for you.
00:19:35And soon enough, you'll come crawl...
00:19:38Falling back.
00:19:40Right where you belong.
00:19:43With me.
00:19:45Boo.
00:19:48Oh, no, Claire.
00:19:54So, how's your business?
00:19:56I mean, it seems like you've got...
00:19:58a lot going on.
00:20:01I'd rather not talk about it if...
00:20:03that's okay.
00:20:04Oh.
00:20:05Sure.
00:20:07Yeah.
00:20:08It's just very stressful.
00:20:09And to be honest, it's not the best...
00:20:13date conversation.
00:20:14It's really kind of a mood killer, you know?
00:20:18Is this...
00:20:19a date?
00:20:21I don't know.
00:20:23We have some lovely wine.
00:20:25We have...
00:20:26candlelight.
00:20:27I'm sitting here getting...
00:20:28getting to know a beautiful woman whose company I'm thoroughly enjoying.
00:20:32Feels like a date to me.
00:20:33Okay, but...
00:20:34I mean like...
00:20:36Is this...
00:20:37a date?
00:20:38Because we're...
00:20:39you know...
00:20:40married or...
00:20:41It's just like a real...
00:20:43date.
00:20:44Date.
00:20:45Date.
00:20:46You tell me.
00:20:48I don't know.
00:20:49I don't know.
00:20:50I don't know.
00:20:51So...
00:20:52So you've been...
00:20:53staying here with me and my daughter.
00:20:56Do you want kids someday?
00:20:57Oh, I would love kids.
00:20:58Yeah.
00:20:59Yeah.
00:21:00Mm-hmm.
00:21:01If only to break the cycle of how I grew up.
00:21:02Yeah.
00:21:04Oh.
00:21:05What happened?
00:21:06Well, when I was 12, my...
00:21:08father passed away.
00:21:10After that, it was all responsibility.
00:21:11I had to be...
00:21:13the man of the house.
00:21:14I had to hold up the family name.
00:21:15It's just...
00:21:16Wow.
00:21:18That sounds like a lot for a kid.
00:21:21Yeah.
00:21:23It was a crown I never wanted.
00:21:25And...
00:21:26my mother made sure I never...
00:21:28forgot about it.
00:21:29Sounds like you kind of needed a break.
00:21:31And...
00:21:33maybe a fake marriage to help you forget.
00:21:36Ha ha ha.
00:21:38I did.
00:21:39Tell you the truth.
00:21:40This is the most at home I've felt in years.
00:21:43You...
00:21:44also...
00:21:45I heard a lot of people.
00:21:46I wanted to be the...
00:21:47That's the most at home.
00:21:48It's the most at home I don't need to be the...
00:21:49Zip to file.
00:21:50Then, you know, it's...
00:21:51your mother's family name...
00:21:52It is your mother's family name...
00:21:53I didn't know it a lot, but a lot.
00:21:54You don't need to be the...
00:21:55and you don't need to be the...
00:21:56I know I didn't even know it's...
00:21:57Jaime.
00:21:58Thank you very much.
00:21:59Anyway, I leave the family name...
00:22:01I have a lot of kids too.
00:22:02I have a lot of kids too.
00:22:03I have spent a lot of kids too...
00:22:04Do not need to be the kids.
00:22:05I have a lot of kids.
00:22:06But the kids are older kids.
00:22:07So...

00:23:33Really good at acting.
00:23:35And at my engagement rings way too fast.
00:23:38I want it to be real.
00:23:41No, no, no, you don't.
00:23:43Your life is great as it is.
00:23:44You have everything you have ever wanted.
00:23:47Except...
00:23:48Maybe like a gorgeous husband who's kind with a smile and...
00:23:53Absence.
00:23:54You sure you don't want my help?
00:23:55Yes!
00:23:56Uh, no!
00:23:58Whatever it means that I don't need you.
00:24:03I know you don't need me.
00:24:08The question was...
00:24:13Do you want me?
00:24:18Damn it.
00:24:23I'm sorry.
00:24:24I...
00:24:25Sorry.
00:24:28I don't want you to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be
00:24:38How am I supposed to get through six more days knowing he's hiding something?
00:24:43It's not working.
00:24:48We were supposed to expose them as a fake couple, but look at how in love they look.
00:24:54Look at this.
00:24:56We'll have to adjust our strategy.
00:24:58Because come hell or high water, you will be marrying my son.
00:25:03I'll just have to destroy her another way.
00:25:08Be careful.
00:25:10My son still has a legacy waiting.
00:25:13If you crush anyone, let it be clear.
00:25:18Let it be clear.
00:25:23Let it be clear.
00:25:28So, what do you think?
00:25:30It's amazing.
00:25:32Cookie butter hat.
00:25:33Chocolate.
00:25:33I'm thinking I'm serving it at the bakery.
00:25:35Stop thinking about it and start doing it.
00:25:37I mean, this would go viral.
00:25:39You think so?
00:25:41Claire!
00:25:42Speaking of things you should stop thinking about and start...
00:25:47What are you doing?
00:25:48Stop it.
00:25:49Stop it.
00:25:50Oh!
00:25:51What are you doing?
00:25:52Stop it.
00:25:53And I thought this cocoa was the only thing hot and steamy in here.
00:25:58It's only a few days to Christmas, and I realized...
00:26:03We don't have a tree.
00:26:04I know. I've just been so busy with the bakery and everything.
00:26:07I haven't even...
00:26:08I haven't had time to think about it.
00:26:09Well, luckily for you, you don't have to.
00:26:12And I was thinking...
00:26:13I was thinking that the three of us, well, me, Claire, and Sophie could...
00:26:18decorate it together.
00:26:20Oh, what a cute and fun Christmassy thing to do.
00:26:23Together as a family.
00:26:26Just so cute and fun.
00:26:28Christmas-y and family.
00:26:29Are you finished?
00:26:31Well, I know it's been a while since you finished.
00:26:33Oh, my God.
00:26:38Have fun.
00:26:39Have tons of Christmassy family fun.
00:26:43So, it's been a while.
00:26:45Nope.
00:26:46Nope.
00:26:47Nope.
00:26:48Okay.
00:26:53You know you're putting all the candy canes on one side, right?
00:26:57That's the best side.
00:26:58We'll fix it later.
00:27:00Yeah.
00:27:03Wow.
00:27:04It's a treat.
00:27:06Claire!
00:27:08You caught me.
00:27:11Of course.
00:27:13I'd never let you fall.
00:27:18Let's put it on!
00:27:22Let's put it on.
00:27:23Ready?
00:27:24Alright.
00:27:25One, two, three.
00:27:28Yes!
00:27:31Great job!
00:27:33It's perfect.
00:27:35It's perfect.
00:27:38Night, Mom.
00:27:39Night, Nick.
00:27:40Night, honey.

00:27:47I'm sorry.
00:27:47I'm sorry.
00:27:48Hi-hah.
00:27:48Hi-hah.
00:27:49Handy.
00:27:49Can you hear me TBD?
00:27:50Yes.
00:27:51I'm sorry.
00:27:52I'm sorry.
00:27:52I don't know Soleil.
00:27:53Not that is good.
00:27:53I'm sorry,其 it on your heart.
00:28:07Hello, world.
00:28:07Oh, my God.
00:28:08Juliet.
00:28:09Oh, my God.
00:28:10I didn't see my heart.
00:28:11I'm sorry.
00:28:12Hey.
00:28:17What is this?
00:28:22Hosted by Lillian Rudolph and Hunter Davis.
00:28:27For the future Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas Rudolph, it's tomorrow night.
00:28:32This couldn't be for anyone else.
00:28:35How long is this?
00:28:37Joke going to go on for.
00:28:42Man, there's like a thousand candy canes on here.
00:28:45I don't know how she does it.
00:28:47Are you okay?
00:28:51Fine.
00:28:52I'm just tired.
00:28:57About earlier.
00:28:59No, we don't need to talk about it.
00:29:02This is a fake marriage.
00:29:04Nothing is real.
00:29:06Claire, that's...
00:29:06I...
00:29:07Please, I just...
00:29:07I need a few minutes to myself.
00:29:09Okay?
00:29:10Tomorrow is going to be really busy.
00:29:12So...
00:29:13Okay.
00:29:15I'll leave you to it.
00:29:17I'll leave you to it.
00:29:22Hey.
00:29:25I need you.
00:29:27Now.
00:29:32Meet Lillian Rudolph, mother to...
00:29:37Nicholas Rudolph.
00:29:39That woman was here the other day.
00:29:42Nick said she was someone from his office.
00:29:44Come on.
00:29:45There's got to be a reason why he'd...
00:29:47Say that.
00:29:52I knew he was hiding something, but...
00:29:55Engaged?
00:29:57And he's here pretending with me?
00:29:59God, no wonder his fiancée hates me.
00:30:01He's...
00:30:02Pretending like he doesn't even care about her.
00:30:04Okay, I didn't want to say anything until I was sure, but I...
00:30:07Saw her with him the other day in the alley.
00:30:10They were...
00:30:11More than...
00:30:12Friendly.
00:30:13Oh, my God.
00:30:14I didn't want to tell you because I know how much you need the prize money.
00:30:17Wow.
00:30:19I am really stupid.
00:30:22I've just been taking his word when the truth was in front of me all along.
00:30:27You're not stupid.
00:30:28You like him.
00:30:29Of course you wanted to believe him.
00:30:32I'm confronting him.
00:30:34No.
00:30:34You can't blow up now.
00:30:36Not before the contest.
00:30:37Trust me, we'll deal with him.
00:30:41But when the time is ready...
00:30:42Great.
00:30:47Hey.
00:30:51The post...
00:30:52The post office sent a letter for your friend, Nicholas.
00:30:57Yeah, that...
00:30:59That'll happen from time to time.
00:31:02Oh.
00:31:06This is...
00:31:07This is an invitation to a holiday gala.
00:31:11Would you want to go...
00:31:12Do you want to go with me?
00:31:14Sure.
00:31:16I...
00:31:17I didn't think you were going to ask me.
00:31:19Why not?
00:31:21You are my wife.
00:31:22What's your game?
00:31:25What's your game?
00:31:27This is ridiculous.
00:31:31This is ridiculous.
00:31:32I'll stick out like a candy cane in a sea of diamonds.
00:31:37I...
00:31:47I...
00:31:54I...
00:31:55I...
00:32:03I...
00:32:05You look perfect.
00:32:10Where's Nicholas?
00:32:15You know, I think he stepped out for a second.
00:32:18Big crowds can kind of make it nervous.
00:32:21Damn.
00:32:22I can't wait to meet him.
00:32:24Nicholas.
00:32:25It looks like he was born for this.
00:32:28Because he was.
00:32:30So, how did he meet all these fancy people?
00:32:34Well, all these people are from.
00:32:35My old life.
00:32:36A world I don't belong to anymore.
00:32:40Great.
00:32:41A contest, Judge.
00:32:42I can't blow this now.
00:32:43Not when I'm so...
00:32:45Close to saving my bakery.
00:32:47Claire!
00:32:48Nick!
00:32:49How good to see you!
00:32:50Again!
00:32:51Huh?
00:32:52Uh, what are you doing here?
00:32:54Not that I...
00:32:55I mean, I...
00:32:56I'm just surprised.
00:32:57Well, it's the darndest thing.
00:32:58I got this last minute...
00:33:00invitation.
00:33:01All the judges did.
00:33:02And I'm so glad I came because this party is the...
00:33:05fanciest thing I've ever seen.
00:33:07Wait.
00:33:08You're all here?
00:33:09Oh, yeah.
00:33:10Now, don't tell anyone.
00:33:12But you two are my favorites.
00:33:14You're Holly Cre...
00:33:15Picture-perfect Christmas couple.
00:33:18You keep it up.
00:33:19And you're a...
00:33:20You're a shoe-in.
00:33:21Thanks.
00:33:22Someone invited all the judges here tonight?
00:33:25What's going on?
00:33:27Something's wrong.
00:33:29She's...
00:33:30She knows.
00:33:31She has to know.
00:33:32Claire, can I talk to you for a second?
00:33:34Oh, now...
00:33:35What?
00:33:36You want to talk?
00:33:37You sure your phone's not about to ring?
00:33:38Claire, I know you're angry, but...
00:33:39Yeah, of course I'm angry!
00:33:40I'm done taking your lies!
00:33:42Nick!
00:33:43Fake marriage or not, you owe me some real...
00:33:45Honesty!
00:33:46Gasp!
00:33:47Hi!
00:33:48Ooh!
00:33:49Ooh!
00:33:50Nick!
00:33:51Nick!
00:33:52Darling!
00:33:53Yes, baby!
00:33:55Oh, no!
00:33:56Shit!
00:33:57Oh, no!
00:33:58Shit!
00:33:59Oh, no!
00:34:00Shit!
00:34:00She had fabric, I suppose.
00:34:02Hunter, apologize to her right now.
00:34:05For walking into a crowded room.
00:34:07Be serious.
00:34:08Where's my champagne?
00:34:10You do not touch her.
00:34:12You do not go near her.
00:34:13Do you understand me?
00:34:15You know, everyone's been whispering about this little arrangement.
00:34:20What?
00:34:21Why keep pretending?
00:34:22Nick is mine!
00:34:23Hunter, it's not-
00:34:25This charade has gone on long enough.
00:34:29A-
00:34:30A girl like you, from a town like this, you will never be-
00:34:35Good enough for my son.
00:34:36Leave him, Claire.
00:34:38You will never, ever-
00:34:40Belong in our world.
00:34:41Claire, please don't listen to that.
00:34:43Claire, please don't listen to that.
00:34:45You belong with me.
00:34:47It shouldn't hurt this much.
00:34:49But it does.
00:34:50Guys, I can't stay.
00:34:52Oh.
00:34:55I can't stay.
00:35:01Claire, wait.
00:35:02I am done waiting.
00:35:04I'm-
00:35:05I'm over your lives, Nick.
00:35:07Let me tell you the truth.
00:35:09I fell-
00:35:10I fell for you the moment we met.
00:35:12I did.
00:35:13Claire, you're a good person.
00:35:14And I don't have-
00:35:15I don't have very many good people in my life right now.
00:35:18There you are.
00:35:21Claire, you saved me.
00:35:22You literally opened your home for a strange-
00:35:25and you didn't have any agendas or ask questions or even care about who I really was.
00:35:30You just saw a person in need and helped them.
00:35:33It's what anyone would-
00:35:35I didn't do.
00:35:36No.
00:35:37No, it isn't.
00:35:39Claire-
00:35:40Claire, you make me feel human again.
00:35:41You made me believe that you were someone-
00:35:43You made me believe that you were someone-
00:35:44I-
00:35:45I-
00:35:46I-
00:35:47I-
00:35:48I-
00:35:49I-
00:35:50I-
00:35:51I-
00:35:52I-
00:35:53I-
00:35:54I-
00:35:55I-
00:35:56I-
00:35:57I-
00:35:58I-
00:35:59I-
00:36:00I-
00:36:01I-
00:36:02I-
00:36:03I-
00:36:04I-
00:36:05I-
00:36:06I-
00:36:07I-
00:36:08I-
00:36:09Don't belong with me.
00:36:11Come.
00:36:12I don't belong to you, Hunter.
00:36:13I never did-
00:36:14It's good.
00:36:20Claire, wait!
00:36:21Tell me the truth!
00:36:23All of it!
00:36:24Yes.
00:36:25I was engaged to Hunter, but it was never...
00:36:29I love.
00:36:30It was a deal my mother forced on me.
00:36:32It was a duty, security...
00:36:34It...
00:36:35It was a prison.
00:36:36So, what?
00:36:37You just forgot to mention that you weren't here?
00:36:39You belong to someone else?
00:36:40You belong to someone else?
00:36:41You belong to someone else?
00:36:44Is that what the engagement ring was in your coat pocket?
00:36:48Engagement ring?
00:36:49I...
00:36:51Claire.
00:36:52That ring was never my...
00:36:54It's mine.
00:36:55It's something my mother gave me to try to force me back to Hunter.
00:36:58I never belong...
00:36:59I never belonged to Hunter.
00:37:00I never belonged to anyone.
00:37:01And that's the point.
00:37:02For the first time in my life...
00:37:04I feel free with you.
00:37:06Don't say things like that!
00:37:08Oh my god, you think I...
00:37:09I want this?
00:37:10You think I'm not tearing myself apart every second I'm near you?
00:37:14I left my old life because I couldn't breathe.
00:37:17My father had passed away...
00:37:19My mother's grip was iron and...
00:37:21Hunter was a leash around my neck.
00:37:24Then why do you still let them control you?
00:37:28Because until you...
00:37:29I never knew what it felt like to want more.
00:37:31Look...
00:37:32Every...
00:37:33Smile...
00:37:34With...
00:37:34Hunter was staged.
00:37:35Every word was rehearsed.
00:37:36Until I stumbled into your bakery.
00:37:39And you changed everything.
00:37:41I want to believe him.
00:37:43But if...
00:37:44If I do...
00:37:45I'll lose everything when he breaks me again.
00:37:48Where?
00:37:49You are kind.
00:37:51And loyal.
00:37:52And...
00:37:53You are kind.
00:37:54And loyal.
00:37:54And you fight for what's right.
00:37:55Even when it's difficult.
00:37:56You are everything Hunter isn't.
00:37:58Everything my family...
00:37:59You are saying the words that...
00:38:01I've waited my whole life...
00:38:04To hear.
00:38:05But how can I trust you...
00:38:07When you've been lying to me?
00:38:09I put spread...
00:38:15You are reason why would I turn my kids in Iraq?
00:38:17I never said.
00:38:18I said goodbye.
00:38:19You will have to do nothing later.
00:38:20We have no shortage of dreams.
00:38:21I do not remember the best when I was supposed to live together.
00:38:23You will have no shortage of dreams.
00:38:24Have you seen the 아릉in?
00:38:25In Iraq?
00:38:26It's right...
00:38:27برite-his- momento!
00:38:29Emilia-na-na-na-na-na...
00:38:31In Iraq Give me to Kathleen...
00:38:36Did-ye-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
00:38:38happiness. Nick lied. You're ready to torch him for it too, remember? I know.
00:38:43But maybe. What? Why should I fix things with a liar? Because I've.
00:38:48I've never seen the way he looks at you. Like you hung the moon. And I've never seen you happier than when.
00:38:53You're with him. And I'm not letting you give that up without a fight. He doesn't want Hunter.
00:38:58He wants you. Then he needs to prove it. I hope.
00:39:03He does. For both of your sakes.
00:39:08He doesn't want to.
00:39:13I don't know.
00:39:18Sorry, we're actually closed for the night.
00:39:28Clear!
00:39:31Let her go!
00:39:33Let her go!
00:39:38Let her go!
00:39:38Let her go!
00:39:38Let her go!
00:39:38Let her go!
00:39:39Let her go!
00:39:40Let her go!
00:39:41Let her go!
00:39:42Let her go!
00:39:43Let her go!
00:39:44Let her go!
00:39:45Let her go!
00:39:46Let her go!
00:39:47Let her go!
00:39:48Let her go!
00:39:49Let her go!
00:39:50Let her go!
00:39:51Let her go!
00:39:52Let her go!
00:39:53Let her go!
00:39:54Let her go!
00:39:55Let her go!
00:39:56Let her go!
00:39:57Your arm!
00:40:01No, I'm fine. It's fine.
00:40:02It's okay. I know that you're safe, alright?
00:40:04Claire, I do it a thousand times, okay?
00:40:06Okay.
00:40:07But you can count on me. Always.
00:40:10If this is what it feels like...
00:40:12I need to be loved by him. How could I ever let it go?
00:40:17Officer, if I think of anything else, I'll let you know.
00:40:22Hey.
00:40:24I should-
00:40:26I should-
00:40:27I should stay.
00:40:28Figure out what's next.
00:40:30Okay. Then...
00:40:32I'm saying two.
00:40:33Nick.
00:40:34Don't make me need you.
00:40:37Not tonight.
00:40:39Need me. Let me in.
00:40:42You should go.
00:40:44I've got this.
00:40:47Okay.
00:40:49Well, if you need-
00:40:51Well, if you need-
00:40:52Maybe...
00:40:53I won't.
00:40:57Come home by Christmas-
00:41:01Come home by Christmas-
00:41:02seever, you lose everything.
00:41:03ial
00:41:07You don't scare me.
00:41:09Don't play the hero. I don't just want you married.
00:41:12I want you married to Hunter.
00:41:14She has proof, Nicholas.
00:41:16Proof.
00:41:17That your little marriage is fake.
00:41:19Enough to ruin her.
00:41:20Unless something...
00:41:22Unfortunate happens first.
00:41:24This town used to be so safe.
00:41:27What is this world coming to?
00:41:29You could have killed her.
00:41:30As if anyone would care.
00:41:32She's just a nobody from some dead-end town.
00:41:35You touch her again, and I swear you'll be...
00:41:37I'm sorry.
00:41:38Dad isn't here to protect you anymore.
00:41:40You try it.
00:41:41You're...
00:41:42Your father will be rolling over in his grave.
00:41:44Try me.
00:41:48Every step feels heavier.
00:41:50I finally found someone who sees...
00:41:52He's me.
00:41:53The man.
00:41:54Not the name.
00:41:55And now I have to walk away.
00:41:56From her.
00:41:57From Sophie.
00:41:58From a life that could have been mine.
00:42:03Nick?
00:42:04How are ya?
00:42:07I've been better.
00:42:09Well, one of the judges said he saw you and...
00:42:12and Claire having a spat with someone at the gala.
00:42:16What?
00:42:17I told him that you and Claire are solid.
00:42:20I'm not so sure.
00:42:22You love her, don't you?
00:42:24Yeah.
00:42:25I do love her.
00:42:27Good.
00:42:28Just lean into that, huh?
00:42:30And you'll surely win, huh?
00:42:32Hey, I'll see you on Christmas Eve.
00:42:36Thank you, Mary.
00:42:36All right.
00:42:37Good night.
00:42:37Good night.
00:42:42I could have lost everything tonight.
00:42:47All that I built for myself, for Sophie, all of it.
00:42:52We're still here, still standing.
00:42:57Well...
00:43:02You're resilient.
00:43:04I'll give you that.
00:43:06But resilience...
00:43:07won't protect you from what's coming.
00:43:10We're closed.
00:43:12Let's not waste time.
00:43:15You want money?
00:43:16I can make you comfortable.
00:43:18Very comfortable.
00:43:19I don't want your money.
00:43:20No.
00:43:22Everyone wants money, darling.
00:43:25Especially single...
00:43:27Moms with struggling bakeries.
00:43:31You think you can buy me...
00:43:32off like you buy everything else?
00:43:35As if Nick were a thing to own?
00:43:36Not a man?
00:43:37Not the man?
00:43:37Nick and I are not for sale.
00:43:42Nick will...
00:43:42He'll never choose you over his real life.
00:43:47Do you know...
00:43:47what it costs to be a Rudolph?
00:43:50Nick's never lived without it.
00:43:52He doesn't know...
00:43:52He will resent you for making him lose...
00:43:57everything.
00:43:59And he will blame you for it...
00:44:01when the glitter fades.
00:44:02I don't scare easily.
00:44:04Lillian.
00:44:05Hmm.
00:44:07We'll see.
00:44:10Last chance.
00:44:11Be smart.
00:44:12Take the money.
00:44:15He deserves so much better.
00:44:17than the life you caged him in.
00:44:20And I deserve better than your bribes.
00:44:22So be it.
00:44:27Nick will hate you.
00:44:29Blame you for losing everything.
00:44:32Clean this up.
00:44:37It's disgusting.
00:44:40She's wrong.
00:44:41She has to be wrong.
00:44:42But why?
00:44:44It's disgusting.
00:44:46She's wrong.
00:44:47She has to be wrong.
00:44:49But why?
00:44:50Why does her voice sound so...
00:44:52So certain...
00:44:53We were lucky.
00:44:57If Nick...
00:44:57showed up one minute later...
00:44:59I wouldn't be here.
00:45:00Sophie wouldn't have a mother.
00:45:02Nick...
00:45:02Saved us.
00:45:04But how do I trust a man who lies?
00:45:08I want to tell her everything.
00:45:10But every time I try...
00:45:12I'm in a...
00:45:12Or I say the wrong thing.
00:45:14And I just end up pushing her further away.
00:45:17I need some reason for it.
00:45:18Quelling.
00:45:18Day 1.
00:45:19Night 2.
00:45:20Night 2.
00:45:21Night 3.
00:45:21Night 2.
00:45:22Night 3.
00:45:22Night 3.
00:45:23Night 3.
00:45:24Night 3.
00:45:24Night 4.
00:45:25Yourз
00:45:45Night 3 studios.
00:45:22I should report you to the police for sending the attacker.
00:45:27I only heard about the attack after the fact, and honestly, I was horrified.
00:45:32Yeah.
00:45:32I was horrified it didn't work.
00:45:35That's a disgusting accusation.
00:45:37And one...
00:45:37Then you would need proof in a court of law.
00:45:40Oh, I know.
00:45:41Just like I know it would...
00:45:42I'd never get traced back to you.
00:45:45Seems you haven't lost all your smarts out there.
00:45:47After all...
00:45:48Okay, enough games.
00:45:51If you and Hunter back off just like...
00:45:52Long enough for Claire to win the contest.
00:45:55I will do what you want.
00:45:57Come home for Christmas Day.
00:46:00Marry Hunter in the New Year and then...
00:46:03Claire's Little Bakery will be safe.
00:46:06It was never about Hunter.
00:46:07It was about destroying Claire.
00:46:11Destroying Claire?
00:46:12That girl will destroy you.
00:46:15She will take everything.
00:46:17And when the lights fade, you will resent Claire.
00:46:22Just...
00:46:22Just like I warned her.
00:46:24You want me home Christmas Day?
00:46:26Fine.
00:46:27I'll be there.
00:46:27But do not mistake this for obedience.
00:46:31Because the second Claire...
00:46:32If you are safe, I will tear down everything you've built.
00:46:35And when I do, it won't be Hunter standing next to me.
00:46:37It'll be Claire.
00:46:39We'll see about that.
00:46:41She thinks she...
00:46:42If she's won, she has no idea how far I'll go for Claire.
00:46:46Hello!
00:46:47Holly Creek.
00:46:49And welcome to the annual Holly Creek Merrily Mary...
00:46:52Christmas Couple Contest!
00:46:55We attack?
00:46:56Hunter smirked?
00:46:57In my bakery?
00:46:58That ring box?
00:46:59I can't unsee any of it.
00:47:01I can't stop wishing...
00:47:02None of it was true.
00:47:04So, our first competition is the three-legged race.
00:47:07So, I want you to give it up for our couples, Mike and Michelle.
00:47:12And Claire and Nick.
00:47:15She doesn't know the truth.
00:47:16But I'm playing along with my mother.
00:47:17Only to shield her.
00:47:19Are you almost done?
00:47:22Yeah.
00:47:22On your mark, get set, and go!
00:47:27Oh!
00:47:28I don't know!
00:47:31Oh!
00:47:32Oh!
00:47:32Oh!
00:47:42You are enjoying this way...
00:47:47...too much.
00:47:48Guilty.
00:47:49I shouldn't want this.
00:47:51I shouldn't want...
00:47:52...him.
00:47:53But I do.
00:47:54I want to fix this.
00:47:55You deserve better than all this.
00:47:57I swear, I'm going to make it up to you.
00:47:59Alright, is it Nick and Clay...
00:48:02...or...
00:48:06...Mike and Michelle?
00:48:07Wow!
00:48:12I can't let myself want him again.
00:48:14Not when he's tangled too deep in their world.
00:48:18And this is all I get.
00:48:19These stolen moments.
00:48:20I'll make every one of them.
00:48:22Count.
00:48:23And that was the last time we ate shellfish.
00:48:25I love you.
00:48:27I love you too.
00:48:28Thank you too.
00:48:32Yes.
00:48:33Well, thank you Mike.
00:48:34That was...
00:48:35...beautiful.
00:48:37How do you tell the truth in front of the world...
00:48:40...when you don't even know if it's real anymore?
00:48:43I won't let her stand up here alone.
00:48:46Um, now...
00:48:47...for our last couple...
00:48:48...they will now share their love story.
00:48:57I showed up.
00:48:58I didn't believe in love.
00:49:00I believed in working hard.
00:49:02Keeping my head down.
00:49:04And...
00:49:05...making Sophie's life brighter than mine.
00:49:07...ever was.
00:49:12And...
00:49:12...this...
00:49:13...mysterious stranger...
00:49:15...turns around...
00:49:17...everything upside down.
00:49:20You made me laugh when I wanted to cry.
00:49:22You made me believe that I deserved more than just...
00:49:27...survival.
00:49:29I hate him for lying.
00:49:31But I can't lie to myself.
00:49:32I love him.
00:49:34I love him.
00:49:37I don't know.
00:49:41I had a life that looked...
00:49:42perfect, but Valhalla, and then I met Claire, and she saw me.
00:49:47Not what was in my bank account, just me.
00:49:52And I never knew I could feel this alive, and if I could only carry one-
00:49:57Christmas memory with me forever, it would be seeing Claire smile through that bakery window.
00:50:02Because the moment I saw that, I knew I was home.
00:50:07And I'll fight like hell, not-
00:50:12To lose her.
00:50:17To lose her.
00:50:23Nate?
00:50:24It's you.
00:50:25It's always been you.
00:51:01Then you have to go home.
00:51:03Clare, listen to me. I don't want Hunter.
00:51:06I don't want any of this. I want you.
00:51:08If I let myself believe him, I'll burn.
00:51:11Then I can't drag Sophie into the fire.
00:51:16Bye, bitch.
00:51:21Well, that was quite the kiss.
00:51:23I don't think you've ever kissed me like that.
00:51:26Because I never loved you.
00:51:28As if love had anything to do with us.
00:51:32Look, you got your deal.
00:51:34I played along for mother.
00:51:36But don't mistake it as a victory.
00:51:39As soon as I can find a way, you...
00:51:41You both lose me for good.
00:51:43How do you tell someone they saved you?
00:51:45That they made you want to...
00:51:46I love how you wrinkle your nose when you take...
00:51:51Taste the frosting.
00:51:53How you hum when you think no one's listening.
00:51:56How you see Sophie.
00:51:58Really see her.
00:52:01Now you look at me like I was worth something.
00:52:07She'll find it when I'm gone.
00:52:10And maybe...
00:52:12She'll know.
00:52:14Yes, yes, I know.
00:52:15I will get carrots...
00:52:16For the reindeer.
00:52:17I'll see you when you get home.
00:52:21I'll see you next time.
00:52:22I'll see you next time.
00:52:23I'll see you next time.
00:52:24Bye.
00:52:26I'll see you next time.
00:52:27Bye.
00:52:30Foolish trusting.
00:52:31Bye.
00:52:32Bye.
00:52:33Bye.
00:52:34Bye.
00:52:35Bye.
00:52:36Bye.
00:52:37Bye.
00:52:38Bye.
00:52:39Bye.
00:52:41Bye.
00:52:41Bye.
00:52:46Bye.
00:52:51Bye.
00:52:52Bye.
00:52:53Bye.
00:52:54Bye.
00:52:55Bye.
00:52:56Bye.
00:53:01Bye.
00:53:02Bye.
00:53:03Sophie will be awake soon.
00:53:04Let's just try to get...
00:53:06Give her the perfect Christmas morning before you go.
00:53:12Time to go, Nicholas.
00:53:13Excuse me?
00:53:14Why are you here so...
00:53:15Why are you here so...
00:53:16early?
00:53:17We haven't had Christmas morning yet.
00:53:18File that under things I couldn't care less about.
00:53:20You.
00:53:21promised me.
00:53:22Now it's time to go.
00:53:23You can't just barge in here.
00:53:25I can't...
00:53:26And I did.
00:53:27Come now, Nicholas.
00:53:29Or I'll ruin...
00:53:31declare publicly.
00:53:32Right here, right now.
00:53:34Your time is up.
00:53:36Annulment papers.
00:53:37Annulment papers.
00:53:38Sign them.
00:53:39And the bakeries...
00:53:41It stays open.
00:53:42You two remain contest winners.
00:53:45No scandal.
00:53:46No mess.
00:53:47You still think you can buy me off?
00:53:49This is not about you.
00:53:51I am saving my son from making a mistake.
00:53:54She is not about you.
00:53:56a mistake.
00:53:57Don't ever say that again.
00:53:58Then prove it.
00:53:59By letting her keep her...
00:54:01dream.
00:54:02And walking away.
00:54:03You promised me you would marry.
00:54:06hunter, Nicholas.
00:54:07Do not go back on your word now.
00:54:09If I play this right, I can turn my...
00:54:11mother's game back on her.
00:54:12Nick.
00:54:13Don't do this for me.
00:54:14Nick.
00:54:15Don't do this for me.
00:54:16Do it for you if that's what you want.
00:54:19Claire.
00:54:20Claire.
00:54:21I need you to trust me.
00:54:23Even if I can't say why.
00:54:25Be smart.
00:54:26Nicholas.
00:54:27One signature.
00:54:28This all goes away.
00:54:31Ink.
00:54:32Or ruin.
00:54:36You.
00:54:37This all goes away.
00:54:38Do it.
00:54:39See you soon.
00:54:40Bye.
00:54:41Your choice.
00:54:43Your choice.
00:54:46This, this was a mistake.
00:54:51Just send.
00:54:56The damn papers, Claire.
00:55:01That's really what you want?
00:55:03It's not.
00:55:04God, it's not.
00:55:06Wise choice.
00:55:09No!
00:55:09No, don't go!
00:55:11Oh, baby.
00:55:16I thought you loved us.
00:55:19Idiot child.
00:55:21It was only for the contest.
00:55:26Tell her, Nick.
00:55:31It was only for the contest.
00:55:36See?
00:55:36As if he could ever love the two of you.
00:55:41No!
00:55:43Bastard.
00:55:45I will never f*** you.
00:55:46What did you do for this?
00:55:47I don't need your forgiveness.
00:55:49Just your obedience.
00:55:51Come now, Nick.
00:55:54Back to where you really belong.
00:55:56It's okay.
00:55:58It's okay.
00:56:01I don't need your forgiveness.
00:56:02I don't need your forgiveness.
00:56:03I don't need your forgiveness.
00:56:04I don't need your forgiveness.
00:56:05I don't need your forgiveness.
00:56:06I don't need your forgiveness.
00:56:07I don't need your forgiveness.
00:56:08I don't need your forgiveness.
00:56:09I don't need your forgiveness.
00:56:10I don't need your forgiveness.
00:56:11I don't need your forgiveness.
00:56:12I don't need your forgiveness.
00:56:13I don't need your forgiveness.
00:56:14I don't need your forgiveness.
00:56:15I don't need your forgiveness.
00:56:16I don't need your forgiveness.
00:56:17I don't need your forgiveness.
00:56:18I don't need your forgiveness.
00:56:19I don't need your forgiveness.
00:56:20I don't need your forgiveness.
00:56:21I don't need your forgiveness.
00:56:22I don't need your forgiveness.
00:56:23I don't need your forgiveness.
00:56:24I don't need your forgiveness.
00:56:25about Sophie. This is about you and what you deserve.
00:56:30My life is great, Tessa. Really, I'm fine.
00:56:33Yeah? Because you just
00:56:35put half a cup of salt in that cookie dough.
00:56:38Stop lying to yourself.
00:56:40I'm not. Like I said, Sophie is perfect.
00:56:45I have you and and the town.
00:56:49I hate that.
00:56:50It hurts so much.
00:56:53I really wanted it to be.
00:56:55I know you did.
00:56:58Hey, I found this in the driveway.
00:57:01It's all messed up, but
00:57:02I think someone dropped it.
00:57:04It's handwriting.
00:57:05Open it.
00:57:10Claire, I never wanted this life.
00:57:14Not the money.
00:57:15Not the name.
00:57:17With you, for the first time, I felt free.
00:57:20You saw me.
00:57:21Not the heir.
00:57:22Not the dealmaker.
00:57:23Just me.
00:57:24You made me want a future.
00:57:25I never thought I could have.
00:57:27If I could stay, I would.
00:57:30If I can't protect you in person, let this be my promise.
00:57:35I will.
00:57:36Find a way back.
00:57:38If this is true, why?
00:57:40Why would he make me sign those papers?
00:57:45I never thought I could have.
00:57:51Thanks.
00:57:50You
00:57:55It's

00:58:36It's
00:58:37always say it's complicated.
00:58:39Does he love us or not?
00:58:42I think so.
00:58:44And do you love him?
00:58:47I think so.
00:58:48See?
00:58:49It's not complicated.
00:58:51She's got a-
00:58:52I really wish it was that simple.
00:58:55If I trust him-
00:58:57I could lose everything.
00:58:59If I don't trust him, I've already lost-
00:59:02I've lost him.
00:59:05That's weird.
00:59:07Okay?
00:59:08What's the problem I can do?
00:59:09I don't know.
00:59:12I don't know.
00:59:14I think so.
00:59:15I feel like I'm scared.
00:59:16How was I trying to get a little bit.
00:59:17You can't see my chin.
00:59:18I don't wanna try this.
00:59:20I don't know my chin.
00:59:21I'm scared.
00:59:22I'm scared.
00:59:23I know my chin.
00:59:24I don't know my chin.
00:59:25I can't see your chin.
00:59:27I can't see your chin.
00:59:28Very good.
00:59:29I'm not.
00:59:30I need your chin.
00:59:31I'm feeling three inches.
00:59:33Go ahead and finish.
00:59:34I'm scared.
00:59:35I'll see my chin.
00:59:36Fine, so I'm taking this with me.
00:59:41I'm taking this with you.
00:59:47Nick didn't want that annulment.
00:59:50You saw his face clear.
00:59:52This must be breaking him.
00:59:54This is crazy.
00:59:55This must be a chance.
00:59:57He signed the papers.
00:59:59I signed the papers.
01:00:00That's the end.
01:00:02Or maybe he was protecting you the only way he knew.
01:00:05He's been fighting his family every step of this.
01:00:08He didn't want to walk...
01:00:09I didn't want him to walk away.
01:00:11I didn't want him to walk away.
01:00:13So don't let...
01:00:14What if I go and he's already with...
01:00:19Hunter, then at least you'll know.
01:00:22If I go, I could break...
01:00:24If I stay, I already am.
01:00:28Come to me, Claire.
01:00:32Let me make this right.
01:00:34I'll fight for us if you walk through that door.
01:00:37Your car's here.
01:00:38I'll fight for us if you walk through that door.
01:00:40I'll fight for us if you walk through that door.
01:00:42Your car's here.
01:00:44Because that maybe, that's the man you love.
01:00:49Do I?
01:00:51Or do I just want to believe in him?
01:00:54For once in your life, let yourself be crazy in love.
01:00:57And go get your accidental Christmas...
01:00:59That's exactly what this feels like.
01:01:03Crazy in love.
01:01:04But Sophie, she loves him too.
01:01:09If there's even a chance, I owe her this.
01:01:14Okay, I'm going.
01:01:15For her.
01:01:17And for me.
01:01:18Good.
01:01:19I'll watch her while you're gone.
01:01:22But hey, when you're back, I want a fairy tale.
01:01:24Ending.
01:01:26Oh my god!
01:01:29Oh my god!
01:01:32Oh my god!
01:01:49If I may say a few words, as you all know, it has been...
01:01:54It's very difficult here.
01:01:56My husband passing company in case...
01:01:59Chaos.
01:02:00And my son going off to find himself.
01:02:04But as every good mother knows, sometimes you...
01:02:09You need to let your children spread their wings.
01:02:12And as every good son does...
01:02:14My Nicholas returned home.
01:02:17With that said...
01:02:19Please...
01:02:20Help me welcome...
01:02:22The future...
01:02:24Mr. and Mrs.
01:02:25Nicholas and Hunter Rudolph.
01:02:29This isn't me.
01:02:32It never was.
01:02:34Smile.
01:02:35Pretend you're happy.
01:02:37We're so grateful you all...
01:02:39We all came to celebrate our joy.
01:02:42All I see is her face.
01:02:44Even when she's not here.
01:02:45Especially when she's not here.
01:02:47I'm not here.
01:02:48I'm not here.
01:02:52I'm not here.
01:02:53I'm not here.
01:02:54I'm not here...
01:02:55I'm not here...
01:02:56I'm here...
01:02:57You're not here...
01:02:58Yeah.
01:02:59I have a great...
01:03:00You're welcome...
01:03:01hair.
01:03:02I'm a white tony.
01:03:03And I'm here...
01:03:04You're welcome.
01:03:05Remember what your father wanted.
01:03:07Dad would want me to be happy.
01:03:09Don't you?
01:03:10Don't you dare.
01:03:12What's she doing here?
01:03:14Security!
01:03:15Get her out of here.
01:03:18Touch her and you'll answer to me.
01:03:21Nick, my love, what are you doing?
01:03:23Nicholas, don't do anything you'll regret.
01:03:25I lost her once.
01:03:26I won't let her go again.
01:03:28He still wants me.
01:03:29Even now.
01:03:30Nick, if you walk towards her, you burn everything down.
01:03:34The emp-
01:03:35The empire.
01:03:36The fortune.
01:03:37Your father's name.
01:03:38Ah!
01:03:40Maybe everything needs to burn.
01:03:45How dare-
01:03:49How dare-
01:03:50Clear you!
01:03:51You're all fired!
01:03:52Claire, my feelings for you have never been fake.
01:03:55You're the best thing that's ever happened to me.
01:03:57Nicholas, do not do something you-
01:04:00You will regret.
01:04:01You humiliated me, Nick.
01:04:03Nicholas, that's quite enough.
01:04:05I am telling you now.
01:04:06Come to your senses before you ruin everything.
01:04:09I ru-
01:04:10You ruined everything the moment I let you control my life.
01:04:15This is me trying to fix it.
01:04:18Claire, you saved me.
01:04:19Literally.
01:04:20Claire, you cared about me when you didn't think I had anything.
01:04:23I can't lose you again.
01:04:25Not to them.
01:04:27This... this nobody shall destroy you!
01:04:31Destroy me.
01:04:33She's the only one who's tried to put me...
01:04:35back together.
01:04:36Do you feel the same way?
01:04:40Yes.
01:04:43I...
01:04:45I love you, Nick.
01:04:47As crazy as this all is, and as fast as it happened, I do...
01:04:50I love you.
01:04:51I love you.
01:04:56I choose her.
01:04:57I choose love.
01:04:58I choose my life.
01:05:00Not the one you tried to buy from me.
01:05:03You'll regret this!
01:05:05Oh!
01:05:08Nicholas!
01:05:10You are no longer a Rudolph!
01:05:12Get out of my sight!
01:05:15Gladly.
01:05:16But hear this, mother.
01:05:17If you ever try to come after Claire again...
01:05:20I'll publish all our family's dirty secrets.
01:05:22And I know you don't want that.
01:05:24Get out!
01:05:25Get out of here!
01:05:26Get out!
01:05:27Both of you!
01:05:29Let's go home.
01:05:30Yes, please.
01:05:31Yes, please.
01:05:35No, no, no!
01:05:36No!
01:05:37No!
01:05:38No, Erin!
01:05:39Come back!
01:05:40Come back!
01:05:41It's not midnight yet!
01:05:40No, no, no!
01:05:41You can't leave!
01:05:42The ball hasn't dropped!
01:05:43The ball hasn't dropped!
01:05:45No, no...
01:05:46No, no!
01:05:47No, no...
01:05:48No...
01:05:49No...
01:05:50No...
01:05:50I thought I lost you.
01:05:55You'll never lose me. Not again.
01:06:00Claire, I don't care about the money, the empire, or the name.
01:06:05The only life I want is the one with you.
01:06:10You mean it? Even after everything?
01:06:13Especially after everything.
01:06:16You're the only thing that's ever been real.
01:06:19You chose me.
01:06:20And I choose you.
01:06:25You're the only thing that's ever been real.
01:06:29I love you.
01:06:30Happy New Year.
01:06:35I love you, Claire.
01:06:38I love you, too.
01:06:40I love you, Claire.
01:06:45I love you, Claire.
01:06:51It looks beautiful.
01:06:55Seriously?
01:06:58Relax.
01:07:01I just set an alert on my phone.
01:07:03You're going to want to see this.
01:07:05Mm-hmm.
01:07:08You're going to want to see this.
01:07:13I love you, Claire.
01:07:13I have a question. Can I...
01:07:18maybe...
01:07:20call you dad?
01:07:21I had been chasing the wrong family...
01:07:23my whole life.
01:07:24But now...
01:07:25I found it.
01:07:26Nothing would make me happier.
01:07:28This is it. The family...
01:07:33I never thought I'd have.
01:07:35The life I never dared to dream.
01:07:38I love you, Nick Rudolph.
01:07:43I never thought I'd have.
01:07:45I never thought I'd have.
01:07:47I never thought I'd have.
01:07:48I never thought I'd have...
01:07:52I never thought I'd have nieced...
01:07:53Oh
01:07:58Oh
01:08:03Oh
