00:00:30That would always guide us home if we ever got lost
00:00:32Because finding your way home doesn't always mean you know where you're going
00:00:37You just have to trust and follow the light
00:00:40Well, I think that light is leading me towards some of these cookies
00:00:45How are they?
00:00:47Yeah?
00:00:48This is the best Christmas ever
00:00:52Hope you're enjoying our guiding grace marathon
00:00:54Up next, Gabriella becomes the chief of a volunteer fire department
00:01:09Hey, just so you know, we have a strict you-break-it-you-buy policy on everything in the store
00:01:13Oh, okay, yeah, I'll be sure to be careful
00:01:16Gabriella?
00:01:18Wow, my mom is a huge guiding grace fan
00:01:21She's going to freak out
00:01:23Wait, wait, is this really happening?
00:01:25This isn't a dream
00:01:25Uh, well, I certainly hope not
00:01:27Because if so, then I've definitely overslept
00:01:29And I am very late for several appointments
00:01:34That's that classic Gabriella banter
00:01:35Thanks, my name's actually Abby
00:01:38You can call me Abby
00:01:39You know, I was just watching you make your famous Christmas cookies over there
00:01:42And now you're here!
00:01:44Ah!
00:01:47So, uh, do you make them every year now since the show's been cancelled, or?
00:01:50Oh, uh, you know what?
00:01:51I'm, uh, going to let you in on a little secret
00:01:53Yeah
00:01:54So, I've actually never baked Christmas cookies before
00:01:57Those are from the grocery store
00:01:58You've never baked Christmas cookies?
00:02:00No
00:02:03This is, that's a good one
00:02:05Oh, you had me going
00:02:07That's great
00:02:08Oh
00:02:09I bet you're the perfect mom off-screen, too
00:02:12Um, uh, hey, listen
00:02:14I'm happy to sign an autograph for your mom before I go
00:02:17Really?
00:02:18Yeah
00:02:18Oh, thanks
00:02:20Actually, since you're here, I do need some advice
00:02:23My girlfriend and I got into this huge fight
00:02:25And now she's not talking to me
00:02:27For some reason
00:02:29So, um, you know, what would Gabriella say?
00:02:32Uh, again, not Gabriella
00:02:34And I was really just reciting lines that other people wrote for me
00:02:37Come on, you worked on that show for years
00:02:39You must have some advice
00:02:40Hmm, you know, let me call my writers
00:02:42Oh, would you?
00:02:43Um, listen, can I just
00:02:44Can you engrave this for me?
00:02:46Oh, yeah, of course
00:02:49Uh, what's the message?
00:02:51Um, always follow the light
00:02:53Love A
00:02:54You mean G?
00:02:55I mean A
00:02:56Oh
00:02:59Excuse me
00:03:00Is that, uh, one of your writers?
00:03:03Hey, Julian
00:03:04Abby, hey
00:03:05It's been way too long
00:03:07Brandon's graduation, I think?
00:03:08Yeah, I can't believe our fictional son is in college
00:03:11Oh, you grow up so fast
00:03:13I know
00:03:14How you been, Ab?
00:03:15I'm good, I'm good
00:03:16I'm really excited to see you at your answer, Christmas Eve
00:03:19You're never gonna guess what I got you
00:03:20Oh, you mean for our yearly Christmas ornament exchange?
00:03:24You're gonna love this one, I promise
00:03:25I bet I will
00:03:26Uh, hey, um
00:03:28Just, uh, just a heads up about
00:03:30Christmas Eve this year
00:03:32I've been meaning to tell you
00:03:33Oh, right, no, I know
00:03:34Uh, you didn't like the vegan version of the cookies I brought last year
00:03:37So, I've already decided I'm gonna bring vegan and regular
00:03:40Because whether your brother admits it or not
00:03:42He's lactose intolerant
00:03:44I'm getting married, Abby
00:03:47What?
00:03:48We've been together for, oh, just about a year now
00:03:50And
00:03:52Actually, we're, um
00:03:54We're expecting a baby
00:03:57Oh
00:03:57I'm sorry, I should have told you sooner
00:03:59I am
00:04:00Yeah, um
00:04:01Thank you
00:04:04I gotta be honest
00:04:06Julian, I'm surprised
00:04:07I mean, you said you never wanted kids
00:04:09Yeah, I
00:04:10I didn't think I wanted them either
00:04:12But, um
00:04:13Yeah, I don't know
00:04:14Something in me just kind of changed
00:04:16Right
00:04:18Um
00:04:19That's a plot twist I didn't see coming
00:04:21But listen, you are still more than welcome
00:04:23To come to my aunt's Christmas party
00:04:25Everyone loves having you there
00:04:26And, well, I'm sure Veronica wouldn't mind if you came
00:04:30Yeah, no, I, I, I
00:04:32I just, um, thank you
00:04:33I just don't think that would really be right
00:04:34But why not?
00:04:36I, I always thought that, you know
00:04:38It was rather evolved of us
00:04:40That you'd still come for Christmas
00:04:41Even after the divorce
00:04:43Yeah, I mean, yeah
00:04:44You know, I love your family
00:04:46And the friends we share
00:04:47Like, I always will
00:04:48But I, um
00:04:49I just think it would be a mistake
00:04:50To keep this tradition going
00:04:52Well, that's too bad
00:04:53But I, I, I do understand
00:04:55I'll send you a Christmas ornament in the mail then
00:04:57No, that's okay
00:04:58I think that's a mistake too
00:04:59Um, anyways, I gotta go
00:05:00Merry Christmas
00:05:01All right, bye
00:05:08So, what'd your writer say?
00:05:10That, uh, that wasn't my writer
00:05:11Oh, who was it?
00:05:13Listen, um
00:05:14I'm actually not gonna need this anymore
00:05:16Oh
00:05:17Well, store policy says that
00:05:19Once an engraving order is in the computer
00:05:21It can't be cancelled
00:05:21So
00:05:22But it hasn't even been engraved yet
00:05:24Can't you just delete it from your computer?
00:05:25Well
00:05:26Computer says
00:05:29Negative
00:05:29Please don't make me buy this
00:05:31You know what this reminds me of?
00:05:32That time that your son brought home that chimp
00:05:34Remember when you wanted to return it
00:05:36But you couldn't
00:05:36Because the circus was already out of town?
00:05:38Right
00:05:39Yeah, just like that
00:05:40Um, listen
00:05:40I'm not, I'm not Gabriela
00:05:42I'm Abby
00:05:43I'm a customer
00:05:44Who's just looking for some help
00:05:46At Christmas time
00:05:47Please
00:05:47You get it
00:05:48Right?
00:05:49Yeah
00:05:49Of course
00:05:50I get it
00:05:50Hey everyone
00:05:51Gabriela thinks she can just bend the rules
00:05:54And nobody gets hurt
00:05:55I'm sorry
00:05:55Who's getting hurt?
00:05:56You haven't even done anything to the ornament yet
00:05:58People make mistakes
00:06:00I thought Gabriela fixed mistakes
00:06:01I didn't think she made them
00:06:03What?
00:06:04Okay
00:06:05You know what?
00:06:05Let me be really clear with you
00:06:08I'm not Gabriela
00:06:09Gabriela is a character I played on TV
00:06:11I'm Abigail Fontaine
00:06:13A real human being who tries her best
00:06:15But sometimes makes mistakes
00:06:16Like picking out ornaments
00:06:18That me and my ex-husband
00:06:20No longer have use for
00:06:21Well, it's store policy
00:06:22So you can hang it on your tree
00:06:23I don't have a tree
00:06:25I don't make freshly baked cookies
00:06:27I'm not a wife or a mother
00:06:28The only correct thing that's come out of your mouth
00:06:30Is that I would need writers to give relationship advice
00:06:33Because I haven't been on a date in years
00:06:35Now please cancel my order
00:06:40Oops
00:06:41Oh
00:06:46Merry Christmas
00:06:47Merry Christmas
00:06:52Where have you been?
00:06:52I've been trying to reach you
00:06:53What are you doing here?
00:06:55Just get in the house
00:06:56I'll explain inside
00:06:57Come on, come on
00:06:57Go, go, go
00:06:58What?
00:06:58Why?
00:06:59Can I get you something to drink?
00:07:00No, we don't have time for a drink
00:07:01Listen
00:07:03Your little incident at the store, okay?
00:07:05The video went viral
00:07:07America's perfect mom
00:07:08Losing her cool over a Christmas ornament
00:07:10What?
00:07:11What do you mean?
00:07:11I mean, they recorded you
00:07:13Everyone's a paparazzi nowadays
00:07:14You gotta be careful
00:07:15Your image is taking a serious hit
00:07:16I stood up for myself against a total jerk
00:07:19And now my whole image is on the line?
00:07:21Guide and Grace ended two years ago
00:07:22When do I get to get off this pedestal
00:07:24And start being mean?
00:07:25Come on
00:07:25You were Gabriela for 14 seasons
00:07:27The public's not letting go of you that easy
00:07:29Don't worry
00:07:30Okay
00:07:31Once you film
00:07:32The Patterpoint and Mysteries
00:07:33The public's gonna love this new side of Abby Fontaine
00:07:35Hey, listen
00:07:36I'm super flattered
00:07:37The producers cast me
00:07:38I really am
00:07:39But that role is just another variation of Gabriela
00:07:41And I'm not really sure that's what I need right now
00:07:44Eddie?
00:07:45What?
00:07:46You were all in a couple months ago
00:07:47What's changed?
00:07:48No, nothing
00:07:49No, I'm still interested
00:07:50It's just I feel like maybe I need
00:07:52Something new
00:07:53Like a new challenge
00:07:55This character isn't gonna be a challenge?
00:07:57Come on
00:07:57Your character's got layers
00:07:58Oh, because in addition to being a perfect wife and mom
00:08:00She also solves mysteries?
00:08:01And don't forget she runs an inn
00:08:04Come on, you're gonna love it
00:08:05And the producers adore you
00:08:06At least they did until today
00:08:08What?
00:08:09Are they having second thoughts about casting me?
00:08:11Oh, no
00:08:11Let's not get ahead of ourselves here
00:08:13They're just, um, nervous
00:08:14They just want to make sure that you're not a liability, okay?
00:08:17So we're just gonna have to do some damage control
00:08:19Create PR opportunities
00:08:20Oh, PR?
00:08:22Charity events
00:08:22Public apology
00:08:23A public apology?
00:08:25Really?
00:08:25For not wanting to buy an ornament?
00:08:27It's not about the ornament, okay?
00:08:29It's about the narrative
00:08:31You gotta control it before it controls you
00:08:33Okay, Oliver, please
00:08:34Love you
00:08:35Really do
00:08:35But this feels very inauthentic to me
00:08:37And it's not who I am
00:08:47So your bad day today
00:08:50Wouldn't have anything to do with your, uh, ex-husband's news, would it?
00:08:55You heard about that?
00:08:57They're putting out a press release first thing tomorrow
00:09:01I gotta get out of LA
00:09:03Nah, running won't help
00:09:04No matter where you go
00:09:06There you are
00:09:07Having a on-camera meltdown at a Christmas store
00:09:09Meltdown, please
00:09:15Honestly, I, um
00:09:18I don't think I've ever felt this lost
00:09:22I need a change
00:09:27You know what?
00:09:29Maybe you're right
00:09:31Hit the pause button for a couple days
00:09:33Clear your head
00:09:34Yeah, somewhere like rustic
00:09:36In the mountains
00:09:36Where I can just be alone and think
00:09:40Oh, you don't mean like a cabin in the middle of nowhere, do you?
00:09:42If by cabin in the middle of nowhere, you mean five-star resort
00:09:44The spa, yes
00:09:47Yes, that's more like it
00:09:48Okay, great
00:09:49So you're gonna have your eat, pray, love Christmas
00:09:50Figure things out
00:09:51I'm gonna send you the script
00:09:52Read it, research it, and be ready, okay?
00:09:54We start filming at the top of the new year
00:09:55Wait, I'm, I'm so confused
00:09:56Are you or are you not worried about me losing this role?
00:10:00I wouldn't be a very good agent if I let that happen now, would I?
00:10:02Got her on, call you later
00:10:04It's all gonna blow
00:10:07I'm here with the victim of Abby Fontaine's unprovoked attack
00:10:10I know it's difficult, but can you tell us what happened?
00:10:14Well, difficult is an understatement, but I'll try
00:10:17I was just trying to be helpful
00:10:19And the next thing you know, she just went crazy
00:10:21I've always held Abby Fontaine in high regard
00:10:24But to see her so unhinged, it was unsettling
00:10:29I don't know how I'll recover
00:10:30Thank you
00:10:31This incident has sparked a social media frenzy
00:10:35With many fans expressing their disappointment
00:10:38Thanks, Jane
00:10:39In other news, traffic on the 405 continues to be backed up
00:10:43Five-star resort
00:10:49Booked
00:10:52Thanks
00:10:55Hi, oh, hello
00:10:58Welcome to Fontaine
00:10:59I'm Clara
00:11:01What a surprise to see you
00:11:02Thank you, thank you
00:11:04Um, I'm checking in
00:11:06Oh, uh, oh, I'm, I'm sorry
00:11:09I don't see your reservation
00:11:11Is it under a different name?
00:11:12What?
00:11:13I, uh, that's weird
00:11:15I just booked it online last night
00:11:16Hang on, I'm gonna pull it right off
00:11:18Here you go
00:11:21Um, this reservation is for next Christmas
00:11:24Next Christmas?
00:11:26Next, next Christmas, yes
00:11:29You know, I was really distracted when I booked this
00:11:31So I'm just, I'm wondering
00:11:32Maybe you just have another room available, something
00:11:35With the annual masquerade ball and the Christmas star
00:11:38We're actually overbooked
00:11:40Christmas star?
00:11:41What's that?
00:11:42Oh, it's a beautiful and very rare star
00:11:44Set to appear on Christmas Eve
00:11:46They're calling it the modern day star of Bethlehem
00:11:49It's beautiful
00:11:51Oh, I wish I could help
00:11:53Most of the hotels in this town are fully booked
00:11:56But I also work part-time at this lovely little inn
00:12:01That I know as of yesterday had one more room available
00:12:06The Maguire Inn
00:12:08An inn?
00:12:10Yeah, like a B&B
00:12:11What it lacks in five-star amenities it makes up for in rustic charm and wonderful Christmas spirit
00:12:17Yeah, I'm sure
00:12:18I would call and check for you but yesterday one of the pipes burst and the phone line is dead
00:12:23But I could call Nick
00:12:24No, we're good, we're good
00:12:25You know what, I think I'm just gonna head home
00:12:27Yeah
00:12:28If you don't mind me saying
00:12:30Sometimes an unexpected change in plans can be a blessing
00:12:34Even if it doesn't feel that way at first
00:12:38Noted
00:12:39Thank you for your help
00:12:40I appreciate it
00:12:41Merry Christmas
00:12:42Merry Christmas
00:12:46Hey
00:12:46Hey, just running into a meeting spot
00:12:48Have you seen the news?
00:12:49Uh, no, I've been trying to stay disconnected
00:12:51What now?
00:12:52Well, the press has camped outside your house
00:12:54Ever since Julian made his big announcement
00:12:56Ravenous
00:12:57Yeah, ready to add angry ex-wife to their glowing stories about me, I'm sure
00:13:01You know, this is all a more reason to stay ahead with some PR
00:13:03Control the narrative
00:13:07You know what?
00:13:09Maybe this is a sign I'm meant to spend Christmas in Vermont after all
00:13:14I mean, there's an inn that might have a room available
00:13:18Well, that sounds like the perfect spot to be researching your upcoming role as a mystery-solving innkeeper
00:13:23Yeah, exactly
00:13:26That's what I'm gonna do
00:13:27I'm gonna dig into that script tonight at the inn
00:13:29That's what I like to hear
00:13:30You focus on that, let me handle the press
00:13:41Can't find my hammer
00:13:41Oh, no, listen, Miss Eldridge, don't you worry
00:13:44We are gonna look into getting a stocking for your cat
00:13:46Oh, Mr. O'Malley
00:13:48You're right, your cat, Mr. O'Malley
00:13:50Thank you, Nick
00:13:51You're welcome
00:13:54Excuse me, have we met?
00:13:56Nope, I don't think so
00:13:57Are you sure?
00:13:58Yeah
00:13:58Are you from Connecticut?
00:14:00No
00:14:00Did you go to Glastonbury High with my daughter?
00:14:02No, no, no, I think you must be thinking of somebody else
00:14:06Strange
00:14:07Anyway, have a nice day
00:14:09You too
00:14:12Hello
00:14:12Hi
00:14:13Welcome to the Maguire Inn
00:14:15I'm Nick Maguire, the owner, how can I help you?
00:14:17Um, so I don't have a reservation, but I heard that you have a room available
00:14:21Um, let me see
00:14:22Let me see
00:14:23Oh, yes, you are in luck
00:14:25We have one room available
00:14:27And the plumbing issues are almost resolved
00:14:29Great
00:14:30Are you here for the planetary conjunction?
00:14:32The what?
00:14:33The, uh, sorry
00:14:34Uh, Christmas star
00:14:36When I'm not doing this, I'm a science teacher
00:14:37Part-time in-owner, part-time science teacher?
00:14:40Ah
00:14:40Well, it's an experiment that I'm still working at, so
00:14:45Hey, why don't I help you with your leverage?
00:14:46Sure
00:14:46Oh, oh, oh, oh, shoot
00:14:48No, okay, nope
00:14:50Don't you worry about that
00:14:52Yeah, this is a
00:14:52That's it
00:14:53Here you come
00:14:53Oh, yeah
00:14:59You're Abby Fontaine
00:15:01Please don't hold it against me
00:15:04Never
00:15:05How would I hold that against you?
00:15:08It's
00:15:08If anything, I'd, like, hold it away from you, you know?
00:15:13Well, it's really nice to meet you, Nick
00:15:15Thanks
00:15:16Uh, you know what? Let me get your luggage here
00:15:18Yeah
00:15:18Right this way
00:15:19Here's our library
00:15:20If you wanna just hang out
00:15:22No!
00:15:22Sorry
00:15:23Hey
00:15:23I'll move that
00:15:24Um, okay, here we go
00:15:26There's that
00:15:27And, um, oh, uh, you know what? You still have a little something in your hair
00:15:36Thank you
00:15:37You know what? I'm just gonna
00:15:38Thank you
00:15:39Leave that to you
00:15:40Okay, uh, here's your key
00:15:44Um, breakfast is included
00:15:46Mm-hmm
00:15:47Because that's how we do it
00:15:48But, I would love to offer you dinner on the house tonight to make up for that whole tree fiasco
00:15:53Oh, no, it's fine, it's fine
00:15:54Honestly, um, I've had a crazy day
00:15:55Oh, okay
00:15:56I've got a script to read, so I think I'm just gonna lay low
00:15:59If you change your mind
00:16:00Yep
00:16:00The Rudy in the kitchen makes the meanest shepherd's pie
00:16:04Here, let me just
00:16:05Okay, yep, yep
00:16:06Let's see
00:16:07Oh
00:16:08All kinds of fun things happening here
00:16:09It's all good
00:16:09All right
00:16:11Uh, let me know if you need anything
00:16:12Thank you
00:16:13I know you can shut the door
00:16:19Lila stands outside the inn with Mr. Walters, the local art dealer
00:16:23Mr. Walters, you mentioned you were getting a haircut yesterday when Mrs. Clark's self-portrait went missing
00:16:29Problem with that is, we all know Old Man Willie's Barbershop is closed on Sundays
00:16:35And now, thanks to you, so is this case
00:16:39Now, I should head back inside
00:16:41My kids need to be tucked in and my cookie timer will be going off any minute
00:16:47Oh, I thought it was gonna be cookies
00:16:50Mmm, I'm hungry
00:16:54Aw, this is so cute
00:16:56Did you change your mind?
00:16:58Oh, well, you talk such a big game
00:17:00So, I sort of wanted to see what this shepherd's pie was all about
00:17:02That is if it's not too late
00:17:04Yeah, no one shepherd's pie coming right up
00:17:06Here, please, have a seat
00:17:07Thank you
00:17:11Okay
00:17:11You good?
00:17:12Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
00:17:13I got this, you just
00:17:14Is that your script?
00:17:16Yeah
00:17:16Oh, wow
00:17:20Kitchen's this way, it's silly
00:17:24Don't worry about it, got it
00:17:25Okay, okay
00:17:29Ready for dessert?
00:17:31Oh
00:17:32Mmm
00:17:32I've got Rudy's signature sticky toffee pudding
00:17:38Wow
00:17:38You know, honestly, with my luck today, I thought you were gonna offer me homemade Christmas cookies
00:17:42Oh, no, you don't strike me as a cookie person
00:17:44Oh, you have no idea
00:17:52Yeah
00:17:52Do I say it or something?
00:17:53Okay
00:17:53Love to say it, thank you
00:17:54What's, uh, what's the verdict?
00:17:57Oh, uh, on the food or the script?
00:17:58Oh, uh, the food first
00:18:01Honestly, you undersold it
00:18:03Yes
00:18:04What about the script?
00:18:06Eh, jury's still out
00:18:07Yeah?
00:18:07Yeah
00:18:07It's the, uh, powder point in mystery song
00:18:11Yeah, it's a new show I'm starting right after Christmas about an innkeeper who solves crimes in a small community
00:18:17Oh, I can relate
00:18:19Well, yeah, if it's not too much trouble, you know, do you mind if I maybe pick your brain about
00:18:24running an inn?
00:18:25It could really help me bring some authenticity to the part
00:18:27Yeah, yeah, anytime
00:18:29I mean, I actually am part of the entertainment industry myself
00:18:33Really?
00:18:34Yes
00:18:34Yeah, I'm the director at the local Christmas pageant at our church
00:18:39Well, what made you decide to take on the pageant?
00:18:42My wife Natalie
00:18:44She directed for years, um, and then when she passed away, uh, a friend took over for a few years
00:18:50and then she was transferred
00:18:51So I decided to volunteer despite having zero experience
00:18:55Incredible of you to step up and take it on
00:18:58It's important for me to keep her legacy alive
00:19:02Yeah
00:19:03I'm sure she's smiling down from up above
00:19:05I know she's smiling right now because she was your biggest fan
00:19:10Really?
00:19:11Really was
00:19:11She would be just so thrilled to know that you're staying here at the inn
00:19:15Aw, that means a lot, thank you
00:19:17Well, it was the, you know, your character's hopeful spirit that really comforted her
00:19:23Especially, um, at the inn
00:19:27Really?
00:19:29Wow
00:19:31Um, I'm glad Gabriella could do that for her
00:19:35You two ran this inn together?
00:19:37Well, it was her idea
00:19:39Uh, despite the plumbing issues that I think I have under control
00:19:43Mm-hmm, let's hope
00:19:44I'm kind of starting to sort of itch, get the hang of it, I think
00:19:50And how about the pageant?
00:19:51Is that okay?
00:19:52Ah, that's another story
00:19:53I'm much more comfortable with punts and burners than I am blocking
00:19:56Well, you know, I haven't done much dressing since theater school, but if you need a sounding board, I'm around
00:20:02Well, that's awfully kind of you, I might just take you up on that
00:20:06But honestly, what about you? I see that you're here through Christmas, you have big plans
00:20:11Oh, no, no, no, no, just, uh, you know, lots of research and script reading, other than that, I'm gonna
00:20:16lay low
00:20:17What?
00:20:18Laying low? You're laying low in Vermont during Christmas?
00:20:21Come on, we are Christmas
00:20:23You don't know, do you?
00:20:26No, know what? I don't, I don't know a lot
00:20:28Nick!
00:20:31Nick!
00:20:31Nick!
00:20:32Yeah, um, I'm right here, Miss Eldridge
00:20:34You wouldn't happen to have a portable heater, Mr. Mellie's paws are fancy
00:20:37Oh!
00:20:39Yeah, let's get you that heater, of course
00:20:42Wait a minute
00:20:43What?
00:20:44I know where I know you from, you're that woman that had that public meltdown
00:20:48No, no, no, you are mistaking Abby for someone else, let's go get the heater
00:20:52Abby, exactly, my bridge partner sent me the video
00:20:55Here, I'm gonna show you
00:20:56No, that won't be necessary
00:20:56Yep
00:20:57Look at you, can you help me?
00:20:58Ms. Eldridge, that's your calculator
00:21:01I don't know what video you're talking about, nor do I care
00:21:03Because it's safe to say that meltdowns are part of being a human being, right?
00:21:07I mean, you saw me last week when the water main burst, yeah?
00:21:10I don't think you'd want your most vulnerable moments broadcast to the world, okay?
00:21:15Well, that's something I've never had to worry about
00:21:18I bet not
00:21:21Let's find that heater for Mr. O'Malley
00:21:23Right
00:21:24Oh, Abby, it's really wonderful to have you here
00:21:28So, just please let me know if you need anything, okay?
00:21:32Thank you
00:21:32Yeah, and by the way, my toilet is clogged
00:21:47Look at him
00:21:49Is he okay to stay with me?
00:21:50love you
00:22:04Sure
00:22:04Let's see
00:22:07All right, and I had a peppermint mocha.
00:22:10Happy holidays.
00:22:11Thank you.
00:22:11Merry Christmas.
00:22:12Merry Christmas.
00:22:17Do you know who that was?
00:22:18Yeah, it was Abby Fontaine.
00:22:20What do you think brings her to Vermont?
00:22:22Probably hiding from all that bad press.
00:22:24What?
00:22:25You didn't see the video?
00:22:28She went shopping and refused to pay for her items.
00:22:31She told the poor salesman she shouldn't have to because she's a celebrity.
00:22:35Yeah, wouldn't even give him an autograph for a sick grandmother.
00:22:37Can you believe it?
00:22:38She said all that on camera?
00:22:39Yeah.
00:22:40I mean, I didn't actually see it, but my hairdresser's mom did.
00:22:43Yeah, sad, isn't it?
00:22:45I never would have expected that from her.
00:22:48You know, just because you play a saint on TV doesn't mean you're one in real life.
00:22:52Um, Zoe?
00:22:53Yeah?
00:22:54That espresso isn't going to make itself.
00:22:55Oh, right.
00:22:56A double espresso for Mia, please.
00:22:58Mom?
00:22:59Mom, you will not believe who I just saw.
00:23:02Mrs. Guiding Grace herself, grabbing coffee at Zoe's.
00:23:07She was fuming.
00:23:09And Zoe asked her to pay for a coffee.
00:23:13Ms. Fontaine!
00:23:15It's great to see you again.
00:23:17Hi.
00:23:18Please call me Abby.
00:23:19Were you able to stay at the inn?
00:23:21I was, yeah.
00:23:22Thank you so much.
00:23:22I'm actually just heading back there now.
00:23:24Me too.
00:23:24I'm just dropping this off at the church before I start my shift.
00:23:26Oh, um, can I, please, let me help you.
00:23:29Oh, thank you.
00:23:30I think I may have overdone it with the toy drive this year.
00:23:35Are you doing all right?
00:23:37Yeah, I'm just feeling a little overwhelmed.
00:23:40So, probably just going to hang out at the inn for the rest of my vacation.
00:23:43Oh, I'm really sorry, Abby.
00:23:45I saw the news.
00:23:46And you really still want to talk to me?
00:23:48Of course.
00:23:49I'm a woman of faith, not a woman of judgment.
00:23:52Besides, those articles are far less concerned with the facts and more concerned with gossip.
00:23:56Yeah, you and Nick might be the only two people who realize that.
00:24:00Well, it must be difficult trying to live up to the perfect TV character.
00:24:04It's so strange.
00:24:05For the longest time, the world just couldn't tell Abby and Gabriella apart until the other
00:24:11day when I had a very human moment after getting some unexpected news.
00:24:16And now it's like, instead of seeing me as too perfect, they look at me like...
00:24:21You let them down.
00:24:23Yeah.
00:24:25You know, years ago, I went through a divorce.
00:24:28And everybody and their mother had something to say about it.
00:24:31It was hard.
00:24:32But it taught me that once you accept yourself, what others think won't matter as much.
00:24:39I really want to let go of what others think of me.
00:24:42Then my unsolicited advice is to not hide out at the inn.
00:24:48Don't let these busybodies ruin your vacation.
00:24:54Thanks so much for your help, Abby.
00:24:59They're rehearsing for the local Christmas pageant.
00:25:01Oh, I'm going to go see what's going on in there.
00:25:04But thank you so much for the chat.
00:25:06So helpful.
00:25:08Anytime.
00:25:09I appreciate it.
00:25:15Okay, just remember that it's pronounced frankincense, not Frankenstein.
00:25:20Okay?
00:25:20Okay.
00:25:20Okay, okay.
00:25:21This is good.
00:25:23Oh, it's probably not packed.
00:25:26Flip it over.
00:25:27Hi.
00:25:28Hi.
00:25:30Hi.
00:25:30What are you doing here?
00:25:33I'm an actress.
00:25:35We naturally gravitate towards stages.
00:25:37Oh, sorry.
00:25:40Wow.
00:25:40Listen, about that video.
00:25:42No, please.
00:25:43You have, really, you have nothing to explain.
00:25:45I, celebrity gossip's just never been my thing.
00:25:48Well, I'm definitely going to try not to worry about what people think of me.
00:25:51However, the story they created is very different than what actually happened.
00:25:56Okay?
00:25:56Just need to say that.
00:25:58Okay.
00:25:59I'm sure that it is.
00:26:00Um, I'm really sorry for whatever it is you're going through.
00:26:04Thank you.
00:26:05I appreciate that.
00:26:06Of course.
00:26:06How's, uh, how's the play going?
00:26:08Oh, it's, uh, it's going.
00:26:11One of my angels just quit because rehearsal's interfering with sledding time.
00:26:15Oh.
00:26:15I can't find half my barn animals.
00:26:17Oh, I actually think I saw them roaming around outside.
00:26:20Oh, great.
00:26:21Yeah.
00:26:21You know, I just, uh, I just want this to be perfect for the kids, but I'm starting to
00:26:26feel like I'm in over my head here.
00:26:29Whoa.
00:26:30Listen, working with kids can definitely be challenging, but after 14 seasons of working
00:26:34with them, I've learned a few tricks.
00:26:37Do you mind if I try something?
00:26:38Please be my guest.
00:26:39Yeah.
00:26:42Just...
00:26:45Just...
00:26:49All right.
00:26:50All right.
00:26:56Gabriella!
00:26:56Oh, no, sorry.
00:26:57This is, this is Abby.
00:26:58She's the really talented actress who played Gabriella on TV.
00:27:05Excellent.
00:27:06Go, go, shake it out.
00:27:10Great.
00:27:11Now start the scene.
00:27:12Okay.
00:27:13Come on, guys.
00:27:15Here.
00:27:18Uh, wow, that actually worked.
00:27:20Yeah.
00:27:21You're, uh, you're really good at this.
00:27:23Thanks.
00:27:24Maybe I could be more than a sounding board for you?
00:27:27You know, pretty flexible over the next week, and you look like you could use a hand, so,
00:27:31or two.
00:27:32Or ten.
00:27:34Tick tock.
00:27:35Time is money.
00:27:36Uh, from the top.
00:27:39Big energy.
00:27:41Action.
00:27:42I bring news of great joy.
00:27:46News of great joy that's, um...
00:27:51You okay, Luce?
00:27:52You're doing great.
00:27:53Yeah.
00:27:54I just keep thinking about all the people who are going to be watching me.
00:27:58Oh, yeah.
00:27:59That's okay.
00:28:00Um, you know what?
00:28:02That's a wrap for today, guys.
00:28:03We'll do the same time tomorrow.
00:28:04Okay.
00:28:05Thank you so much.
00:28:07Um, uh...
00:28:07Hey, do you mind if I...
00:28:09Can I try something?
00:28:10Oh, sure.
00:28:11Yeah, sure.
00:28:12Yeah.
00:28:12Okay.
00:28:12Yeah.
00:28:17You know something?
00:28:19I get nervous all the time when I act.
00:28:22But you never look nervous.
00:28:24Well, it doesn't mean I don't feel nervous.
00:28:26Do you ever forget your lines?
00:28:27Of course I do.
00:28:29But I just remind myself that it's okay to make a mistake.
00:28:33Because it's not about being perfect.
00:28:35It's about believing in ourselves and doing our best, no matter what.
00:28:41Maybe you can be an angel on the plate, too.
00:28:43So that way you could be next to me in case I get nervous.
00:28:46Oh, it's a wonderful idea.
00:28:49But Abby's just a guest at the end.
00:28:51She's here on vacation, so it's...
00:28:53Listen, I'll tell you what.
00:28:54How about we make a secret signal?
00:28:56And that way, if you get nervous, you can just look for me in the audience.
00:29:00So what's our secret signal?
00:29:02Ah.
00:29:04Okay.
00:29:04How about I put my hands on my heart, like this?
00:29:08And that way, you know that even though I'm not on stage with you, I'm still there with you.
00:29:14Like how my mom isn't here anymore, but she's still with me?
00:29:18Right, Dad?
00:29:20That's right, sweetie.
00:29:22Why don't we get our coats?
00:29:26Thank you.
00:29:40You did so great today.
00:29:42Sorry.
00:29:43Okay, I'll just be at that time.
00:29:45Hey, Nick.
00:29:46Yeah.
00:29:47Listen, I hope I didn't overstep.
00:29:49I didn't realize that Lucy was your daughter.
00:29:50Are you kidding me?
00:29:51No.
00:29:51Well, thank you so much for being kind to us.
00:29:53She's a great kid.
00:29:54Are you sure you want to help out directing this?
00:29:57Well, yeah, if it'd help, I'd love to.
00:30:00Hi, Nick.
00:30:01Hi.
00:30:02Mia.
00:30:05Mia, Abby, Abby, Mia.
00:30:07Mia's daughter is one of our sheep.
00:30:10And Abby's staying at the inn.
00:30:11She's also helping out with the pageants.
00:30:13We're so excited to see this year's pageant.
00:30:16The whole town's talking about it.
00:30:17Oh, thank you.
00:30:18The kids are working really hard.
00:30:19Jenna's just knocking it out of the park.
00:30:21Anyway, I wanted to see if you're coming to this year's Christmas Masquerade Ball.
00:30:24I have an extra ticket.
00:30:25Oh, well, I already sent my donation, but no, I'm not this year.
00:30:29I've got so much going on, unfortunately.
00:30:31All the single ladies will be disappointed.
00:30:33But you are so sweet for making a donation.
00:30:40Oh, there she is.
00:30:41Good job today, Jen.
00:30:43Well, it was nice meeting you, Mia.
00:30:45Abby?
00:30:46Yeah.
00:30:47Are you going to come with us to get hot cider?
00:30:49Oh, it's really good cider.
00:30:51Yeah, I'd love to.
00:30:56Thanks, Gwen.
00:30:57Mm, this is great apple cider.
00:30:59Right?
00:31:00Yeah.
00:31:00The apples are grown here in our orchards.
00:31:02Yeah, we are pretty spoiled when it comes to anything apples.
00:31:04Pie, cider, bobbing.
00:31:07Look, Dad, Bryce and Eloise are decorating wreaths.
00:31:10Can I go?
00:31:11Of course you can, yes.
00:31:14Oh, as I'm sure you noticed,
00:31:16we are way behind on our Christmas decorations at the end.
00:31:19Well, do you need a hand?
00:31:21Do I?
00:31:22Well, let's go make some wreaths.
00:31:24Together?
00:31:25Uh, yeah.
00:31:26Okay, yeah.
00:31:28So as a science teacher,
00:31:29I'd imagine you're pretty excited about this Christmas star.
00:31:32Oh, yeah.
00:31:33You know what, though?
00:31:34Fun fact, it's not actually a star.
00:31:36It's called a planetary conjunction.
00:31:39It's when you have two astronomical objects
00:31:41aligned together to appear as one in the sky
00:31:43from Earth's perspective.
00:31:44Hmm.
00:31:45Then why are they calling it the modern-day Star of Bethlehem?
00:31:48That's a good question.
00:31:50Because Jupiter and Saturn align roughly every 20 years, right?
00:31:53So some believe that it's this very planetary conjunction
00:31:56that the wise men were referring to as the Star of Bethlehem.
00:31:59Well, do you think maybe there's something deeper going on
00:32:02since it's happening on Christmas Eve?
00:32:04I've never really thought about that.
00:32:06Yeah.
00:32:07Well, planetary conjunction or not,
00:32:10the Star appeared to the wise men exactly when they needed it.
00:32:14So I'm thinking that since the Star is appearing on Christmas Eve,
00:32:19it's a sign for those of us who need hope right now.
00:32:24You know?
00:32:24Maybe just a way to feel a little less lost.
00:32:29That's beautiful, actually.
00:32:33Working on this pageant has really been a good reminder
00:32:36to check in on my faith.
00:32:38You know, I mean, I still believe, of course,
00:32:40but prayer hasn't come as easy.
00:32:42Yeah.
00:32:42I used to wish that my faith came as easily as Gabriella's.
00:32:46I mean, she was always so certain with all the answers.
00:32:49Yeah.
00:32:50But I recently realized that you don't have to be certain to pray.
00:32:53You just need to start a conversation with God.
00:32:58Well, for what it's worth,
00:33:00Gabriella's not the only one with good advice.
00:33:03Abby's pretty spot on, too.
00:33:08Wow.
00:33:10Things are really coming along.
00:33:11It was all Nick.
00:33:13Yeah.
00:33:13Looks like stepping into a Guiding Grace Christmas special.
00:33:17Oh, thank you.
00:33:18Still got to finish the lights, the tree, the garland,
00:33:20but you got to start somewhere.
00:33:21Well, I just finished reading my script.
00:33:23If you want any help?
00:33:25Oh, you have.
00:33:27Already done.
00:33:29So much.
00:33:30No, go relax.
00:33:31You're our guest.
00:33:32Please, please.
00:33:33Yeah, a guest who has to research what it's like being an innkeeper,
00:33:35so he'd actually be doing me a favor.
00:33:37Oh, that's right.
00:33:39Ornaments are in the box.
00:33:40Great.
00:33:40I found it!
00:33:41What?
00:33:42Oh, yeah.
00:33:44Oh.
00:33:45Natalie bought Lucy this Shepherd on the Search doll a few years ago,
00:33:49and every night, he goes on a journey,
00:33:51and in the morning, Lucy finds him on his way to the manger.
00:33:55Hmm.
00:33:55That sounds like a beautiful tradition you had with your mom.
00:33:58Yeah.
00:33:59It was pretty much my favorite.
00:34:01Aw.
00:34:02What are your Christmas traditions, Abby?
00:34:05Well, I'm, uh, still trying to figure that one out.
00:34:08Hmm.
00:34:09I don't know.
00:34:10Maybe it's time for some new Christmas traditions.
00:34:14Come on, Abby.
00:34:14Let's go decorate the tree.
00:34:16I don't know.
00:34:16Yeah.
00:34:18Was this one over there?
00:34:19Yeah, that one over there.
00:34:20Yeah.
00:34:20Okay.
00:34:21Okay.
00:34:21All right.
00:34:21I'll look at this up with this.
00:34:23Yeah.
00:34:26Okay.
00:34:26All right.
00:34:27Come on, Abby.
00:34:28Did you make that one?
00:34:29Me.
00:34:30You did, didn't you?
00:34:31Yes.
00:34:31Okay.
00:34:32All right.
00:34:33Oh, look.
00:34:33It's one you made.
00:34:35That's it.
00:34:36Oh, yeah.
00:34:37It's fun, Abby.
00:34:37Are you sure you got this?
00:34:39Oh, yes.
00:34:41What's going on with your hair?
00:34:42Oh!
00:34:44That's great, right?
00:34:48There you go.
00:34:49Yeah.
00:34:49Get it.
00:34:50Nice work, too.
00:34:51Thank you all.
00:34:53Merry Christmas, huh?
00:34:56You know, the most I've decorated in the past,
00:34:57of years has been a houseplant.
00:34:59Oh, so much.
00:35:00This has been really fun.
00:35:03Dad!
00:35:03Yeah?
00:35:04I'm having a fashion emergency.
00:35:05Uh-oh.
00:35:06I can't choose.
00:35:07Oh.
00:35:08Lucy's aunt's taking her to the Nutcracker tonight.
00:35:10Oh, fun.
00:35:10But which one should I wear?
00:35:11This one has Christmas Wonderland vibes.
00:35:13Oh, yes.
00:35:14And this one's more snowflake princess.
00:35:15Oh, yeah.
00:35:16Uh, well, first off, you're going to look great
00:35:20in either one of them.
00:35:21And that one is, uh, well...
00:35:24Here, you're helpless.
00:35:26Abby, can you help me?
00:35:27Uh, okay.
00:35:28So, I love them both, but I think snowflake princess
00:35:32is going to make you feel extra special.
00:35:34That's exactly what I was thinking.
00:35:36And I just need to figure out my hair.
00:35:38Oh, I'll help you braid it.
00:35:39No problem.
00:35:40Thanks, Dad, but I'll figure something out.
00:35:43Uh, I can help if you'd like.
00:35:46Really?
00:35:46Yeah, I'd love to.
00:35:48Come on, then.
00:35:49Is that all right?
00:35:50Dad, please, no.
00:35:51Yeah, go.
00:35:51I can't obviously...
00:35:55Where'd you learn how to do hair so well?
00:35:56Well, when I first started acting,
00:35:59I used to have to do my own hair and makeup.
00:36:00But before that,
00:36:02I used to watch my mom do hers,
00:36:05and I would try to copy her.
00:36:07Is your mom still alive?
00:36:09No, she's not.
00:36:11But what helps me is
00:36:13remembering the fun times that we had together.
00:36:16I bet you have a lot of great memories of your mom, too.
00:36:20One Christmas Eve,
00:36:22we were supposed to go caroling.
00:36:23Then a snowstorm hit.
00:36:25My mom said
00:36:27we shouldn't let the snow run in our plans.
00:36:29So we built a fort in the living room
00:36:31with all the blankets and pillows we could find.
00:36:33Then made hot cocoa with marshmallows
00:36:35and sat in the fort singing Christmas girls together.
00:36:38Aw.
00:36:40It was even better than real caroling.
00:36:42She sounds like she was a great mom.
00:36:45She was the best.
00:36:51Okay.
00:36:52All done.
00:36:53Do you like it?
00:36:54I love it.
00:36:55Thank you, Abby.
00:36:56You're welcome.
00:36:58Dad!
00:37:09So, a rare dad's night off.
00:37:11Do you have any big plans?
00:37:12We'll see.
00:37:13I kind of want to just lay low.
00:37:14Oh, my goodness.
00:37:15What a swandered opportunity.
00:37:17Hi, Aunt Zoe.
00:37:18Hi, sweetheart.
00:37:19Do I look like a snowplank princess?
00:37:21You definitely do.
00:37:22You look beautiful.
00:37:24It's Zoe from the bakery, right?
00:37:27What?
00:37:28How exactly do you all know each other?
00:37:31Oh, Abby is a guest here,
00:37:33and she was kind enough to help Lucy get ready tonight.
00:37:36Oh, what a generous guest.
00:37:40This is my sister-in-law, Zoe.
00:37:43She's Natalie's sister.
00:37:44Ah.
00:37:48Okay.
00:37:51Anyways, it's late, and I'm kind of hungry,
00:37:54so I'm going to...
00:37:55You have fun in the neckcracker, and I'll see you later.
00:37:57Yeah, thank you.
00:37:57Yeah, no problem.
00:37:59Okay.
00:37:59Okay.
00:38:01So, you're ready?
00:38:02Yep.
00:38:03Okay.
00:38:03I just need to grab my jacket, actually.
00:38:05Yeah, you know where it is?
00:38:06Okay.
00:38:06Okay.
00:38:07Okay.
00:38:08So cute.
00:38:11You could have been a little nicer.
00:38:12I'm sorry, but can you blame me for being a little caught off guard
00:38:15to see Abby Fontaine with my niece?
00:38:17Have you seen her scandal?
00:38:19She and I don't care about that kind of stuff,
00:38:20and honestly, she's one of the most kind, down-to-earth people
00:38:22I've ever met, so...
00:38:23Oh, what?
00:38:24You've known her for three-year-old days?
00:38:25Come on, Nick.
00:38:27You have to be careful.
00:38:28You can't let Lucy get too attached.
00:38:30She can't take another loss.
00:38:31I hear you, but you have nothing to worry about, okay?
00:38:33Lucy knows that Abby's gone after Christmas,
00:38:35and in the meantime,
00:38:36if hanging out with Abby makes Lucy happy,
00:38:37I'm not sure what the problem is.
00:38:38I just don't want Lucy to get hurt.
00:38:41I promise you, you have nothing to worry about.
00:38:42Ready?
00:38:43Great!
00:38:58It's all the light.
00:39:01It's all the light.
00:39:10What are you eating?
00:39:10Oh, hi.
00:39:12Whoa, whoa, Art of War.
00:39:16Whoa!
00:39:18Sorry.
00:39:19Yeah.
00:39:20Um, what were you, what, do you have plans tonight?
00:39:24Uh, well, I was sort of hoping to do something Christmassy.
00:39:28Oh.
00:39:29Have any ideas?
00:39:31Sure.
00:39:32Uh, well, there's the lights down on Maple Street.
00:39:34They're beautiful.
00:39:35Um, they're building gingerbread houses in Town Square,
00:39:37which is so fun.
00:39:38You can check out the caroling next to the bakeries.
00:39:41Oh, uh, speaking of which,
00:39:43is it me, or was that sort of awkward earlier?
00:39:47I'm sorry about that.
00:39:49Zoe is the best, really,
00:39:51but she's also extra protective of Lucy.
00:39:53Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:39:54No, I totally understand.
00:39:55Yeah.
00:39:56I hope I didn't overstep.
00:39:58Are you kidding?
00:39:58No.
00:39:59Lucy could not have been happier.
00:40:00I mean, if I was on hair and dress duty,
00:40:02I might have sent her in jeans and a perm.
00:40:05Well, I'm glad I could help.
00:40:07Yeah.
00:40:07That's right.
00:40:11But where were you thinking tonight?
00:40:14Uh, well, I was sort of hoping that maybe
00:40:17we could check out some of that beautiful Vermont nature
00:40:20you were telling me about.
00:40:25or not.
00:40:26I mean, I had a thousand things to do,
00:40:28so I've got to wash my hair and everything.
00:40:30We could do.
00:40:30Yeah.
00:40:31Yeah.
00:40:31No, I think, um, yeah.
00:40:33Yeah.
00:40:34Uh, I'm going to make a call,
00:40:37and, um, you bundle up.
00:40:40I'll meet you back here in 20.
00:40:42Yeah?
00:40:42Yeah.
00:40:43Okay.
00:40:43Okay.
00:40:43Great.
00:40:44Great.
00:40:47Okay, you really outdid yourself here,
00:40:50because I would have settled for a brisk walk.
00:40:53As the owner of an inn,
00:40:54I find it important to satisfy my guests' needs,
00:40:58the requests.
00:40:59All right.
00:41:00Well, I'll remember that
00:41:01for when I'm getting into character.
00:41:03Okay.
00:41:04All right.
00:41:04Thank you.
00:41:05Watch your step.
00:41:06Ah.
00:41:07Thank you, Santa.
00:41:08Thank you.
00:41:09Enjoy, guys.
00:41:10All right, it's this way.
00:41:12See over here.
00:41:12Where are we going?
00:41:14Ah, right through here.
00:41:18This is so cute.
00:41:21Okay, come here.
00:41:21You guys, just a second.
00:41:22Okay, come on, come on, come on.
00:41:24Okay.
00:41:26Look in there.
00:41:27Okay.
00:41:27All right?
00:41:27Okay.
00:41:28You see that big cluster of stars?
00:41:31I don't see anything.
00:41:32What?
00:41:32Oh.
00:41:34Ah!
00:41:34Okay, yeah, okay.
00:41:36Look again.
00:41:36Big cluster of green stars.
00:41:38Yeah.
00:41:39Yeah, yeah.
00:41:40That looks like a Christmas tree.
00:41:42Exactly, yeah.
00:41:42So that's part of the constellation, Monteseros.
00:41:45And, well, it always just gets me in the Christmas spirit.
00:41:48Oh, it's incredible.
00:41:49Yeah.
00:41:51Wow.
00:41:52Have you always lived in Vermont?
00:41:54My whole life, born and raised.
00:41:55Yeah?
00:41:56Yeah.
00:41:56And you've always been interested in science?
00:41:59Who isn't?
00:42:02Yeah, no, I was the kid who, here, actually, just sit.
00:42:05Oh, thank you.
00:42:05You park it over there in this blanket if you need it.
00:42:09I was the kid who, you know, wanted to be the astronaut, but once I got my first experience
00:42:15teaching, everything changed.
00:42:17It's just something rewarding about working with kids, you know.
00:42:21But what about you?
00:42:22Has L.A. always been home?
00:42:23Do you want to talk to them?
00:42:24Uh, yes, please.
00:42:25House of them?
00:42:25Okay.
00:42:26Um, yeah, technically, born and raised.
00:42:29Um, but lately I don't really know where home is.
00:42:34Yeah.
00:42:35House and home aren't always the same?
00:42:37No.
00:42:38House and home aren't always the same?
00:42:39Please, yeah.
00:42:40Okay, there you go.
00:42:41Oh, thank you.
00:42:42Cheers.
00:42:43Cheers.
00:42:46Well, um, for the longest time, the set of Guiding Grace felt like home because I spent
00:42:51so much time there.
00:42:53Oh, yeah, I bet.
00:42:53And it's like my TV family started to feel like a real family, and then I married Julian.
00:42:58What?
00:42:59Yeah.
00:42:59Whoa.
00:42:59And it was incredible because my fictional life had actually become a reality, and it
00:43:06was sort of hard to let all that go.
00:43:08Why didn't it work out?
00:43:10Well, a week ago I would have told you it was because I wanted a family and he didn't.
00:43:18And now?
00:43:19And now?
00:43:20Um, I just, we were under so much pressure.
00:43:24Mm.
00:43:24Um, like, I sort of took on the role of the all-knowing, supportive wife that had all
00:43:32the answers, and he was the doting husband that always deferred to me.
00:43:37And while that works really well in a TV show, it doesn't work so well in reality.
00:43:43Sure.
00:43:43It was difficult to separate professional and personal.
00:43:48Yeah.
00:43:48It's almost like we didn't know where our characters ended, and we began.
00:43:51I imagine that made the, uh, divorce difficult?
00:43:55Yeah.
00:43:56Yeah, in some ways.
00:43:57But we were amicable.
00:43:59Yeah.
00:43:59Yeah.
00:44:00He can go to his aunts every year for Christmas.
00:44:03Well, what changed this year?
00:44:06Well, you really don't read entertainment news, do you?
00:44:08No.
00:44:11Uh, well, I just recently found out that he's engaged and is expecting a baby.
00:44:19Oh.
00:44:19Oh, wow.
00:44:21Talk about a plot twist.
00:44:24I think there was a time when I held out hope for reconciliation, but what I really wanted
00:44:30was familiarity and family, because I, I just really hate coming home to an empty house.
00:44:38I get that.
00:44:39I just, when Natalie passed, it was, the inn just became a shell of what it once was.
00:44:50I'm sorry, Nick.
00:44:51I, your loss is so much greater than mine.
00:44:54Oh, I, I, I, I don't think loss is something to be compared.
00:44:59It's, you know, I, I mean, Julian didn't die, but your dream of having a family did.
00:45:05And, I, I didn't, that didn't come out, right?
00:45:08No, it's, no, I, I'm sorry.
00:45:08I was, I think, what I was trying to say is, I think you're going to get your second chance
00:45:21of love.
00:45:32Pretty cool, huh?
00:45:34Amazing.
00:45:35So fun.
00:45:37Yeah.
00:45:39That was exactly what I needed.
00:45:41Being in nature has a way of clearing my head.
00:45:43Yeah.
00:45:44This is such a magical place.
00:45:46Can't write this stuff, huh?
00:45:47Yeah.
00:45:48Dad, Abby.
00:45:49Oh, hi.
00:45:50Hi.
00:45:51What, how was the Nutcracker?
00:45:53It was so good.
00:45:53Yeah?
00:45:54And one of the ballerinas even told me she loved my dress.
00:45:57Of course she did.
00:45:58Sorry, what are you two doing out here?
00:46:00I was just showing Abby around town.
00:46:04By sleigh?
00:46:06Yeah, uh, uh, you know what?
00:46:10Hey, would you go tell Abby all about the play?
00:46:11I'm going to have a little chat with Anzoi, okay?
00:46:13Okay.
00:46:13Okay.
00:46:14Here, take your popcorn, Steve.
00:46:15Okay.
00:46:17Okay, so first there's a big Christmas.
00:46:20What?
00:46:20What is going on?
00:46:21All Lucy talked about tonight was Abby.
00:46:23She grew up watching Abby on TV.
00:46:25Of course she's going to be excited.
00:46:26But she knows that she's only here on vacation.
00:46:27She's okay with that.
00:46:28Are you?
00:46:29Yeah, I'm just...
00:46:31Hey, uh, Lucy.
00:46:32Come look at the snow angel I just read.
00:46:34Okay.
00:46:35Uh, I'll see you soon.
00:46:36All right, bye.
00:46:38I'm just trying to be a...
00:46:41Listen, I'm just a little concerned and a little shocked, honestly.
00:46:44The pageant was Natalie's legacy.
00:46:46How is a celebrity who's wrapped up in some scandal going to help to preserve them?
00:46:55Um, honestly, if I were you, I'd probably feel the exact same way.
00:46:59No, I...
00:47:00I didn't mean for you to hear that.
00:47:01This is all just a lot to process.
00:47:03No, I get it.
00:47:04I mean, I'm just trying to help Nick and the kids.
00:47:06But if I'm in the way...
00:47:07No, oh, no, no.
00:47:09It's just the last I heard.
00:47:10I thought you were going to stay in, have some time to hear yourself.
00:47:12Oh, no, that's my fault.
00:47:13I was like, I asked him to show me where...
00:47:17What?
00:47:18We just rehearsed our lines and didn't mess up.
00:47:21Yeah.
00:47:22Now we've just got to get it right on stage.
00:47:24Well, I've been off book for weeks.
00:47:26Yeah.
00:47:27You're going to be great on stage because if you can do it here, you can do it there.
00:47:32Aunt Zoe?
00:47:33Yes, sweetheart?
00:47:34Are you going to come watch my scene tomorrow?
00:47:36You mean a lot to me.
00:47:37At least.
00:47:40Yes, I would love to come and check it out.
00:47:43I guess that means I'll see you all tomorrow, then.
00:47:45Good.
00:47:47Thank you for tonight.
00:47:48Thank you for tonight.
00:47:50Night.
00:47:51Bye.
00:47:51See you later.
00:47:52Night.
00:47:52Okay, tell me all about it.
00:47:53Okay.
00:47:54Let's go.
00:47:54Can we get a pretzel?
00:47:55Of course we can get a pretzel.
00:47:56I call dibs.
00:47:56Dibs.
00:47:57Okay.
00:47:58Jinx.
00:48:02Oh, okay.
00:48:03Why don't you go look for the shepherd and get your PJs on, okay, sweetie?
00:48:06Okay, Dad.
00:48:07Good night, Abby.
00:48:08Good night, princess.
00:48:09I can't wait for tomorrow.
00:48:11Me too.
00:48:12Um.
00:48:13Yeah, I should get to bed, too.
00:48:15Yeah, well, I'm...
00:48:16Okay.
00:48:17Good night.
00:48:18Good night.
00:48:18I mean, it's...
00:48:20What?
00:48:35This is nicer than what you'd find on most Hollywood sets.
00:48:39Well, thank you.
00:48:39Natalie had a dear friend who was a big Broadway producer,
00:48:41and a few years back donated a bunch of wardrobe that they weren't using anymore, so...
00:48:45Yeah?
00:48:46That's incredible.
00:48:47We got pretty lucky.
00:48:48We got Chicago, Greece, My Fair Lady.
00:48:51My Fair Lady?
00:48:51Yeah.
00:48:52Really?
00:48:52Yeah.
00:48:53That's my favorite musical.
00:48:54I love My Fair Lady.
00:48:56You know the musical, My Fair Lady?
00:48:58Of course.
00:48:59Originally starring Julie Andrews, and later played by Audrey Hepburn in the film Adaptation.
00:49:04Mm-hmm.
00:49:04Marvel.
00:49:05What?
00:49:06I take my profession very serious.
00:49:08We can see that.
00:49:08Now, shall we get on with it?
00:49:11We shall.
00:49:12You're left.
00:49:14Okay, Bryce, remember, buddy, when Joseph and Mary ask to come in, you tell them that they
00:49:19can't, okay?
00:49:20Got it?
00:49:20Got it.
00:49:21Got it.
00:49:21Great.
00:49:21Okay, here we go.
00:49:22Great.
00:49:23Let's run the scene.
00:49:25And action.
00:49:27Knock, knock.
00:49:28My wife is with Chad, and we need some more stay.
00:49:30Can you let us in?
00:49:31Oh, of course.
00:49:33Okay, okay, okay, let's cut.
00:49:35Bryce, buddy, we just talked about this.
00:49:37When they ask to come in, you say they can't.
00:49:40I know, but that just seems so mean.
00:49:42Oh, well.
00:49:43You know what?
00:49:44You're right.
00:49:44That was unkind.
00:49:46If I don't let them in, won't people watching think I'm mean, too?
00:49:51You don't have to worry about that, because what we're doing here is we're showing people
00:49:54what it feels like when we're unkind.
00:49:56That way, when they have the opportunity to make someone feel welcome and included, that's
00:50:01exactly what they'll do.
00:50:03Okay, I can do that.
00:50:04Okay, excellent.
00:50:08Yes, Eloise?
00:50:09I'm having trouble connecting with my character, because Mary's about to be a mom, and I've
00:50:14never been a mom.
00:50:15Right, okay, so that's very insightful, Eloise.
00:50:18Have you ever taken care of anything in your life?
00:50:21My little sister, Emery.
00:50:23Okay, and I'm sure you love her very much.
00:50:25Excellent.
00:50:26Now, if you could just imagine that feeling of loving her and wanting to protect her,
00:50:31that's what a mother feels, but even more so.
00:50:34Okay, I can work with that.
00:50:36You really are a professional.
00:50:38Oh, thanks.
00:50:44Okay, we're good there.
00:50:45How about we move on to the angel scene, okay?
00:50:48Abby?
00:50:49Yes?
00:50:49Which wings would you wear?
00:50:51Oh, that's a tough call.
00:50:52I love them both.
00:50:53Um, which ones would you choose?
00:50:56I can't decide.
00:50:57I thought you'd know, because my mom always said you gave the very best advice.
00:51:04I'm gonna...
00:51:05Yeah.
00:51:09Okay, so, which ones do you think your mother would have chosen?
00:51:15These ones, for sure.
00:51:16Okay, then let's go with those.
00:51:17Okay.
00:51:24Hi.
00:51:25Hi.
00:51:26Um...
00:51:26You're doing great.
00:51:28Oh, yeah, thanks.
00:51:29So is your friend, Abby.
00:51:31Thanks, Zoe.
00:51:36I'm gonna grab some ingredients for later.
00:51:38We'll see you guys soon.
00:51:39Yeah, we'll see you back.
00:51:40All right.
00:51:41Bye.
00:51:42Hi, Zoe.
00:51:47Yes, Miss Eldridge.
00:51:48Warm milk on its way.
00:51:50Oh.
00:51:51Hi.
00:51:52Let me help you with that.
00:51:53Oh.
00:51:53Thank you, Abby.
00:51:54Yeah.
00:51:55What's all this for?
00:51:56Zoe has graciously offered to host a cookie decorating class for our guests.
00:52:00Oh, cookies.
00:52:01Yeah.
00:52:02My favorite.
00:52:03Although, I thought we'd be doing the baking of the baked goods at the bakery.
00:52:07Oh, what's the fun in that?
00:52:08Well, it's so fun, as long as our plumbing holds.
00:52:11Okay, okay.
00:52:12So the truth is, I was actually hoping to spend some time with you, Abby.
00:52:16What?
00:52:18I'm ready to get your cookie on.
00:52:20Okay.
00:52:24Okay, so, uh, full disclosure, I've never made a cookie in my life.
00:52:28You're gonna be great.
00:52:29Okay, listen.
00:52:30I'll do the wet ingredients.
00:52:31You do the dry ones.
00:52:32Okay.
00:52:36I'm really sorry about last night.
00:52:38I only want what's best for my niece and for Nick, and sometimes that keeps me from giving
00:52:44someone a fair chance.
00:52:45Just my sister was my favorite person in the world.
00:52:49I think about her all the time.
00:52:51Yeah.
00:52:52I mean, we all want what's best for the people we love, so I get it.
00:52:56Your show just brought my sister so much joy.
00:52:59Near the end, we watched it together, and at first, it rolled my eyes, but I changed to
00:53:04tears pretty quick.
00:53:08Really?
00:53:09Yeah.
00:53:11I just gave Natalie and maybe even me a little hope when we needed it most.
00:53:19Okay, don't let this tough exterior fool you, but I'm actually quite a softie.
00:53:26But don't tell anyone.
00:53:27I'm a lovedie.
00:53:30I'm just, um, I'm just glad the show could bring you guys some hope.
00:53:35I'm sorry.
00:53:37It wasn't just the show.
00:53:38It was you.
00:53:39No.
00:53:41No, I just recited the lines that writers wrote for me, so.
00:53:46Nobody told you what to say to those kids in rehearsal.
00:53:50You got this.
00:53:53Thank you.
00:53:57Okay.
00:53:57Okay.
00:53:58Yeah.
00:53:58Enough of that.
00:54:00Do you know how to crack an egg?
00:54:02Oh, please.
00:54:03Do I know how to crack an egg?
00:54:08Season 4, episode 7.
00:54:09She worked in a soup kitchen.
00:54:14Oh, wow.
00:54:15Look at this.
00:54:15Holy moly.
00:54:16They look delicious.
00:54:18Oh, except your decorating skills are a little suspect.
00:54:25Says you.
00:54:26What is this?
00:54:26A pepperoni pizza?
00:54:28This is clearly a Christmas tree with big red ornaments.
00:54:34Wow.
00:54:35Claire, that's beautiful.
00:54:36Thank you.
00:54:37Whatever.
00:54:38Claire's pretty much good at everything.
00:54:40That's true.
00:54:42How long have you two known each other?
00:54:44Oh, gosh.
00:54:45Claire's been a source of wisdom for me since I was Lucy's age, actually.
00:54:49That's a splattering way of saying I was a Sunday school teacher.
00:54:52That, too.
00:54:54Honestly, the best person you'll ever meet.
00:54:56Oh.
00:54:57Hands down.
00:54:58For real.
00:54:58When I took over the inn, she cut back on her hours at her job at the big fancy resort
00:55:04to come help me out.
00:55:05And let's just say I can't pair closely with her.
00:55:08Oh, stop.
00:55:09Well, honestly, if it weren't for Claire, I'd either be home alone in L.A. or holed up in my
00:55:13room, so.
00:55:14Well, thank goodness that neither one of those things happened.
00:55:17Yeah, amen.
00:55:21I'm not sure what's wrong with this thing.
00:55:23Last week, it was working perfectly.
00:55:25The whole fixture's brand new.
00:55:26I installed it myself.
00:55:27No, you know what?
00:55:28I can just take a shower.
00:55:29No, no, no.
00:55:29It just needs a little adjusting.
00:55:30That looks like a lot of wrench.
00:55:32Oh, trust me, I know what I'm doing.
00:55:36I see that.
00:55:38It's, uh, maybe time to call a professional.
00:55:42Okay, yeah.
00:55:43Yeah, let's see.
00:55:44I'm just gonna, you'll be soaking in bliss in no time.
00:55:48I'm just gonna make a quick call.
00:55:50I know it, guys.
00:55:54Ah, Randy!
00:55:55How's my favorite plumber, huh?
00:55:56Yeah, Nick McGuire down here at the inn.
00:55:58Hey, I got a little situation I could use your help with.
00:56:01Next Tuesday.
00:56:02No, no, no, no.
00:56:03This is, it, it, kind of a right now sort of thing.
00:56:06It's, it, what?
00:56:09What?
00:56:10Okay.
00:56:10Okay.
00:56:11Yeah.
00:56:12Got it.
00:56:14Yep.
00:56:15Um, let me know if something changes.
00:56:17Okay.
00:56:23Let me take another look.
00:56:28Season 12, episode 6,
00:56:29Gabriela Helps With Worlds in Africa.
00:56:31It was a two-parter.
00:56:34I must have missed it.
00:56:38Hey, what does Gabriela know about boilers?
00:56:42Thank you.
00:56:43We will be there.
00:56:44All right, what a soak.
00:56:46I feel great.
00:56:47Cool.
00:56:48All right, what's on the menu tonight?
00:56:50After all your hard work today, we're going out.
00:56:54You and me?
00:56:55You and me.
00:56:57Oh, uh, where are we going?
00:56:59It's a surprise.
00:57:01Are you in?
00:57:01Yeah, yeah.
00:57:03I love surprises.
00:57:04I'm definitely in.
00:57:04Great.
00:57:05All right, I'm just going to go change into my tuxedo, and we'll head out.
00:57:13What are we doing here?
00:57:15Just come on, just trust me, okay?
00:57:16Oh, yeah, yeah, like with the bathtub?
00:57:17Yeah, exactly.
00:57:18Okay, okay, wait, wait, please.
00:57:20Hold on.
00:57:32The My Fair Lady gown?
00:57:35For you to wear to the Masquerade Ball.
00:57:37Tonight.
00:57:39But I thought you weren't going.
00:57:42I didn't have the right date.
00:57:45I didn't have the right date.
00:58:06I didn't have the right date.
00:58:11Well?
00:58:14That'll work.
00:58:22Oh, oh.
00:58:24I feel like I'm in a fairy tale.
00:58:27I feel like the luckiest man on the planet having you on my arm.
00:58:30I don't remember the last time I did this.
00:58:32It's been a long time.
00:58:34Well, needless to say, neither am I.
00:58:37Hey, Abby, um...
00:58:40I'm just really happy you're here.
00:58:42Me too.
00:58:43Is that Nick McGuire?
00:58:46Yeah, you'll be charged.
00:58:48Needed after all.
00:58:48Yeah.
00:58:50And who's this?
00:58:51Hi, Mia, it's Abby.
00:58:53We met at the rehearsal.
00:58:55Well, I suppose this is the perfect event for you.
00:58:57Wearing a mask and hiding from all that nasty gossip.
00:59:01Well, Mia, you don't even know...
00:59:02Nick, it's cool, I got this.
00:59:03Listen, Mia, when I overheard you talking negatively about me at the bakery,
00:59:08I felt really hurt.
00:59:11But your words actually helped me realize who I am and who I'm not.
00:59:16And I am not the person that I play on TV or the person they portray on social media.
00:59:21I have flaws.
00:59:23We all do.
00:59:24But I'm kind.
00:59:25And I care about others.
00:59:28You should try it sometime.
00:59:33That was a private conversation.
00:59:36If you'll excuse me.
00:59:40You're excused?
00:59:42Um, I guess you gave her something to think about.
00:59:46Yeah, I hope so.
00:59:49And now we dance.
00:59:50No, no, I don't dance.
00:59:51Oh, you do now.
00:59:52No.
00:59:52Yes, you do.
00:59:53Really?
00:59:55Put the mud on your mask.
00:59:57I don't need it anymore.
01:00:02Okay.
01:00:03Okay.
01:00:07Neither do I.
01:00:17I made up my mind.
01:00:20I took some time and I opened my eyes.
01:00:25Oh, this year, darling, I'm gonna find the love.
01:00:32Wow, you're really good at this.
01:00:34Season 7, episode 8, Gabriella won a ballroom dancing competition.
01:00:38I knew you were gonna win.
01:00:42You know, I'm thinking a lot about what you said, about it being a sign of hope that the star
01:00:50is appearing on Christmas Eve.
01:00:52And, um, I'm starting to think that you were right.
01:00:58Yeah?
01:00:58Why is that?
01:01:00I don't know.
01:01:03I guess because everything in my life is feeling a lot more hopeful.
01:01:09You know, before I came here, I actually prayed for hope.
01:01:13Really?
01:01:14Yeah.
01:01:15Were your prayers answered?
01:01:17Yeah.
01:01:18But not how I expected.
01:01:22How so?
01:01:24Well, it's just that, um, my life has changed a lot.
01:01:29Yeah?
01:01:29In such a short amount of time.
01:01:31The pageant, working with the kids.
01:01:33Yeah.
01:01:33Especially Lucy.
01:01:36Meeting you.
01:01:41Having you here has been exactly what everyone needed.
01:01:49It's just selfishly, I just don't want it to end.
01:01:55Well, you know, I was actually thinking that maybe I could stay a few days past Christmas.
01:02:01What?
01:02:02Yeah.
01:02:03Really?
01:02:03Yeah.
01:02:04I mean, I'm going to have to be home for the new year for filming, but it's definitely better than
01:02:09nothing.
01:02:11Do you think?
01:02:12Yeah, I, I, I, I, I think.
01:02:22I think that sounds pretty wonderful.
01:02:48Thank you.
01:02:50Yeah.
01:02:51Well, now that was one of the most magical nights of my life.
01:02:56Yeah?
01:02:56Yeah.
01:02:58Well, it made it so magical.
01:03:01Well, for the first time in a long time, I just got to be me.
01:03:07Felt really good.
01:03:12Oh, Nick.
01:03:13Yeah.
01:03:14Where would I find a spare toothbrush?
01:03:16Mr. O'Malley's breath stinks.
01:03:17It's free amenities in the kitchen, Miss Eldridge.
01:03:19Oh, thank you.
01:03:20Mm-hmm.
01:03:21Oh, sorry.
01:03:22I didn't mean to ruin the romantic moment.
01:03:25Oh, no, no, you didn't.
01:03:26That's okay.
01:03:26We were just saying good night.
01:03:28Yeah, you're good.
01:03:29Yep.
01:03:29Good night.
01:03:30Underneath the mistletoe, no less.
01:03:32Oh.
01:03:33Uh.
01:03:33Well, you know what?
01:03:34I'll leave you two lovebirds to it.
01:03:36Okay.
01:03:37Okay.
01:03:47You look like a princess.
01:03:50Thanks.
01:03:56I'd have to agree.
01:04:01Uh.
01:04:02Oh.
01:04:03That's my agent.
01:04:04Oh, gosh.
01:04:05No, no.
01:04:05I can get this later.
01:04:06You sure?
01:04:07Yeah, I'll call him back.
01:04:07For sure, 100%.
01:04:08Okay.
01:04:09Where were we?
01:04:10Uh, somewhere in here.
01:04:12Dad!
01:04:13What?
01:04:13Hi.
01:04:14What are you doing up?
01:04:16Where's Zoe?
01:04:17We were both asleep in my bed, but then I had a nightmare.
01:04:20but a really mean snowman, and I didn't want to wake her up, so I came to see if you
01:04:24were
01:04:24home.
01:04:24Oh, sweet.
01:04:25Come here.
01:04:26We'll get you back to bed.
01:04:27Oh.
01:04:27It's going to be okay.
01:04:29Bye.
01:04:29Yeah.
01:04:30Yeah.
01:04:30Yeah.
01:04:31Yeah.
01:04:31Okay.
01:04:31It's all right.
01:04:33It's all over again, so I should take it anyway.
01:04:35Yeah.
01:04:37Good night, Abby.
01:04:37Good night.
01:04:45Yeah.
01:04:46Hey, Oliver.
01:04:46What's up?
01:04:48How's my favorite star holding up?
01:04:50Honestly, I'd say I'm more than holding up.
01:04:53Vermont has been exactly what I needed.
01:04:57Ha.
01:04:57What I'd like to hear.
01:04:59So tell me, have you been immersing yourself in the life of a future innkeeper?
01:05:03Uh, yeah.
01:05:04No, yeah.
01:05:04I'd say I'm absolutely immersing myself in him.
01:05:06Her.
01:05:07The Lila, the character.
01:05:10Great.
01:05:11Because here's the deal.
01:05:12We got a final screen test on the 26th.
01:05:14What?
01:05:15Screen test?
01:05:15I thought I already had the part.
01:05:17Uh, you did.
01:05:18Till the headlines made him jittery.
01:05:20You know how it is.
01:05:21Hollywood.
01:05:22A heartbeat away from a panic attack.
01:05:24It's just a final dance to calm the suits.
01:05:27No, but the 26th?
01:05:29It's just...
01:05:30Oliver, I'm helping to direct the Community Christmas Eve pageant up here,
01:05:34and I was hoping to stay for a few extra days.
01:05:37Oh.
01:05:38You're directing a local pageant.
01:05:41Tomorrow?
01:05:42Well, I'm co-directing, actually.
01:05:44And I have to be honest, I have never felt more alive.
01:05:47Directing those kids has just made me feel...
01:05:49Yeah, that's beautiful, really.
01:05:51No, it is.
01:05:52But you need to be back on the 25th.
01:05:55You know, the day after tomorrow.
01:05:57Look, I didn't want to rattle you,
01:05:59but producers started sniffing around another actress
01:06:02during all the negative press.
01:06:03Look, Oliver, maybe this just isn't meant to be.
01:06:06No, no, it definitely is.
01:06:08Because if you're not back here on the 26th,
01:06:10then this whole deal falls apart.
01:06:12I'll just email you your ticket, okay?
01:06:21Abby, you can't hide forever.
01:06:24Don't flush your career away.
01:06:27Yeah, I know.
01:06:28Okay.
01:06:29You're right, I'll, um...
01:06:32I'll leave on the 25th.
01:06:35Great.
01:06:36And break a leg with that whole kid thing.
01:06:39Sounds like a great news story.
01:06:41Love you.
01:06:43Love you.
01:07:23God, I need your help right now.
01:07:25I'm feeling a little lost.
01:07:28I never thought I was going to feel it for someone else,
01:07:30but Abby has brought us so much joy
01:07:33that I wasn't sure I was going to feel again.
01:07:38I'm so grateful, even if it's temporary.
01:07:41So whatever your will,
01:07:45just please help me do right, my Natalie and Lucy,
01:07:49and help...
01:07:51just help guide me to do the right choice.
01:07:56I'm walking through the dark a long time,
01:07:58I can really use some more.
01:08:07They really are two peas in a pod.
01:08:09I'm telling you,
01:08:10Lucy just lights up when she's around Abby.
01:08:15So do you.
01:08:18Nick, I can't tell you how much it fills my heart
01:08:20to see you both doing so much better.
01:08:21Thank you.
01:08:22And I really, really like Abby.
01:08:25Right?
01:08:27But how's this going to work?
01:08:29Yeah, I know.
01:08:30I get it.
01:08:31I get it.
01:08:31Her whole life's in L.A.,
01:08:33but there's just something
01:08:36that won't let me give up hope.
01:08:39That's a really sweet sentiment.
01:08:44Just how can you be certain
01:08:45she's not going to break your heart?
01:08:46I can't be.
01:08:47I can't.
01:08:48But sometimes happiness
01:08:52is worth taking a risk,
01:08:54even if it's scary.
01:08:55Mr. McGuire?
01:08:56Yes, sweetie?
01:08:57I'm not trying to be a diva,
01:08:58but are there any snacks?
01:08:59I'm quite peckish.
01:09:01You're not being a diva at all.
01:09:02No, you are a hardworking actor
01:09:04who needs to fuel up for tonight's performance.
01:09:05Well, do cookies count as fuel?
01:09:08On Christmas Eve, absolutely.
01:09:10You know what?
01:09:10Why don't I run over to the bakery?
01:09:11I'll grab some stuff for everybody.
01:09:12I could use some fresh air.
01:09:13I'm going to come with you.
01:09:17What?
01:09:19Excuse us.
01:09:21What's going on?
01:09:22I have no idea.
01:09:23Oh, you guys here to cover the star?
01:09:26I mean, Abby Fontaine
01:09:27hasn't really been considered a star in a while.
01:09:39Wait, you're here for Abby?
01:09:40She's entitled to her privacy.
01:09:42She doesn't want you guys here.
01:09:43If she doesn't want us here,
01:09:44then why did she invite us?
01:09:45I'm sorry, Abby wouldn't have done that.
01:09:46I hate to break it to you, buddy,
01:09:48but she would, and she did.
01:09:50It makes no sense.
01:09:50Why would she want you here?
01:09:51To cover a children's play that she's directing?
01:09:54It's obviously some desperate PR move.
01:09:57Hey, look, I know this may be shocking to you,
01:09:59but in our world,
01:10:00a celeb tipping us off to their location
01:10:02for good press is a daily occurrence.
01:10:04Wait, I'm sorry.
01:10:04Did you say she tipped you off?
01:10:06And now she'll act all surprised
01:10:07when we show up
01:10:08like we just happened to catch her
01:10:10in this beautiful moment of charity.
01:10:13You can't be that surprised, can you?
01:10:16They're actors.
01:10:17They know how to act.
01:10:19No, excuse me.
01:10:20I'm out of here.
01:10:20Okay, I'll meet you back there right away.
01:10:22Follow me.
01:10:23Sophie, I want you to.
01:10:26Okay, great.
01:10:27Now just move a little to your left.
01:10:28No, your other left.
01:10:31Okay, your left hand makes an L,
01:10:32so if you want to just...
01:10:34Can I talk to you for a second?
01:10:35Oh, yeah, yeah, sure.
01:10:37Okay, everyone, it's almost show time,
01:10:39so let's get those costumes on
01:10:40and we'll meet you backstage.
01:10:43All right.
01:10:44Is everything okay?
01:10:45Yeah.
01:10:46I'm going to go outside.
01:10:53What's going on?
01:10:56Oh, I think you know.
01:10:58Oh, is this about the donkey
01:11:00not wearing his ears?
01:11:02Look, I know it looks better with them on,
01:11:03but they were itchy,
01:11:05and so I told him it was fine.
01:11:06Should have run that by you, sorry.
01:11:08I thought you wanted to get away from the cameras,
01:11:10not get in front of them to secure some roll.
01:11:13I meant to tell you about that,
01:11:15but I only decided on it last night
01:11:16when Oliver called.
01:11:18I just thought I had the roll locked in,
01:11:21and I don't, so...
01:11:23You didn't think how this would affect the pageant?
01:11:25I don't see how it would.
01:11:27Ah, okay.
01:11:29Got it.
01:11:30How do you even know about this?
01:11:32The only other person that knows is my agent.
01:11:35In the press?
01:11:36I ran into them at the bakery.
01:11:38What?
01:11:39Why would the press be at the bakery?
01:11:41Did you ask them?
01:11:41What are you guys doing here?
01:11:43How did you even know where I was?
01:11:45We're here to see about the amazing charity work
01:11:47you're doing with the kids.
01:11:48Very impressive, Abby.
01:11:49Can you tell us what inspired you
01:11:51to give up your vacation to volunteer your time?
01:11:53We heard there's no director,
01:11:55and you stepped in to save the show.
01:11:56I guess you got what you came here for.
01:11:58No, Nick, hold.
01:11:59Can you guys just please give me a minute?
01:12:01Nick, wait, wait, wait, wait.
01:12:02I promise I don't know any...
01:12:04I'm so confused.
01:12:05I have no idea what's happening.
01:12:06You know how much this pageant meant to me.
01:12:09This was Natalie's legacy.
01:12:11Nick, please, you have to leave me.
01:12:12This is the furthest thing from what I wanted.
01:12:15I want to believe you.
01:12:16I do.
01:12:18But you...
01:12:19You are an incredible actor.
01:12:21And right now, I don't know if I'm your friend
01:12:23or just another viewer.
01:12:27So I don't think it's a good idea
01:12:28for you to be here tonight.
01:12:35Abby, Abby, Abby, Abby, please, please go away.
01:12:39Just please leave me alone.
01:12:41Abby, just one last photo, please.
01:12:44Abby, do you have any comments?
01:12:45Sorry, folks.
01:12:46Unless you're praying, you ain't staying.
