00:00:07love true love those magical moments that bring people together just so serendipity coincidence
00:00:18fate everyone has their own name for it you know how some people seem drawn together in
00:00:25an almost magical way or angelic that would certainly be more accurate Christmas has
00:00:36always been the most beautiful time to bring couples together not to brag but the Christmas
00:00:43Connection Angels are the architects of all the most magical love matches Christmas Connection
00:00:52Angels spend all year surveying the earth and deciphering which humans are most equipped for
00:00:57Christmas soul match it truly is a dream job the ultimate place to bask in Christmas cheer beautifully
00:01:06intertwined with romance and I Monica being one of the oldest and best and brightest of the Christmas
00:01:14Connection Angels well I've been orchestrating love matches since before the time of the first
00:01:20Christmas trees it's always been so elegant bringing soulmates together at Christmas so easy really
00:01:28you just follow the guidelines of the Hark our trusty angel handbook and the magic of Christmas does the
00:01:42rest
00:01:42or did it pains me to say but times have changed over the last few years these days the tender
00:01:53hearts humans as
00:01:55you call them are just always busy always scrolling always missing the moment I mean love has always
00:02:03needed a little luck glimmer glance now it barely even gets a chance honestly I'm not gonna lie
00:02:16it's been a little disheartening lately I know it's not just me who's struggling this modern age has its
00:02:25challenges it really does and obviously cloud command has everyone on edge with all the downsizing rumors making
00:02:32successful soul matches is more critical than ever this season that's why it's so important to remember love works in
00:02:37mysterious ways
00:02:38even if we don't fully understand it fun fact did you know that when people fall in love their heart
00:02:43rates can actually sync up so that fluttery feeling it's not just in your head it's adrenaline I didn't know
00:02:49that of course you did centuries-old angel knows everything oh thank you oh my Christmas connection quill
00:02:57Monica I am so sorry I did not pay attention here let me help you with that
00:03:05you're not helping wait well why didn't I think of this sooner there definitely a little less wet
00:03:12not helping it's good it's good we're good we're gonna be late yeah well at least I didn't get any
00:03:18on your clothes right look very pretty pretty you look pretty prepared for the presentation
00:03:23so even if your quill's not you look prepared thank you welcome next time maybe decaf oh great idea
00:03:37thanks Maribel I didn't even think of that anyway you're gonna crush it good luck
00:03:47good as new Monica please tell me you haven't been replaying your last misconnection I just I
00:03:56don't know what happened I got them to the point of slow dancing Maribel slow dancing they had it all
00:04:02and they just threw it away that's not your fault you can't compete with devious DMs
00:04:09direct messaging on social media humans and their phones it's a real issue yes but I do just keep
00:04:16going back to rule number three of the hark we can guide souls to love we can't force love
00:04:25here presentation starts soon we should get going um you know I'm just gonna take one more minute to go
00:04:31over it I just um I know I've been working on it all year but I want to make sure
00:04:35that it's perfect
00:04:36Monica you've got this truly I hope so hey did you hear Michael's gonna sing I'll be home for
00:04:44Christmas after his presentation hmm of course he is all eyes on Michael honestly I can't believe he
00:04:49has his wings already I mean he's not even a century old thanks new cherubs they just don't get it
00:04:55Christmas love is not about flash it's about depth Michael's work is all frosting no cake I mean
00:05:01he did make five matches last Christmas and won best angel his first decade so there's that mm-hmm but
00:05:08it's quality over quantity Maribel I mean three of the matches he made this decade broke up within a
00:05:14year not to mention he doesn't follow protocol he just wings it and don't even get me started about
00:05:19how he dodges responsibility like it's a snowball fight we're all lucky to have you to look up to I
00:05:26mean you care Monica you really do you've guided more soulmates than most angels ever have in their
00:05:31entire existence you're the gold standard the North Star we look to so even though Michael's a little
00:05:36messy he'll always have you an angel with heart and heart always wins one of the Hark says serve your
00:05:45soulmates at least Michael and all the other younger ones they do do that yes but rule number two is
00:05:51keep
00:05:52it's selfless Michael just seems all about making the match and not about the people Gabriel says he
00:05:57just has a different way of matching making matches maybe times are changing did you see that did you
00:06:06see how Darcy looked at me she gave you a cookie cookie lace with judgment one you're just nervous
00:06:12about the presentation it's making you paranoid maybe you're right you just don't want everyone
00:06:18thinking I've lost my touch no one thinks that Monica it's been a hard season for everyone seriously
00:06:25yeah I mean how can any of them fall in love when they won't even look up Siri love matches
00:06:29do not
00:06:30count that's all this talk about downsizing it's just it really is a stressful time no one is being
00:06:35downsized Gabriel hasn't said that and no one's talking about you we're angels Monica they don't say
00:06:41anything bad about anyone but it's true right not even Michael's triumphant laugh I just don't
00:06:52understand why Michael's matches seem to be the only ones that are sticking I mean he just doesn't
00:06:58follow the rules I guess he must work hard or something like you're probably right it's just nerves oh
00:07:08hey there's Gabriel time to face the Christmas music oh give me how you doing Michael hey didn't
00:07:14see you there really really great job matching up those two Oscar winners you blacker actors
00:07:19matter matchmaker you you are really making the DCC look tremendous well thank you Gabriel that was a
00:07:26fun match if you know what I mean you know it's amazing the connections that we can form when a
00:07:30little
00:07:30bit of strategic fun is infused you know what I mean am I right or am I right Monica a
00:07:37strategic fun
00:07:38I suppose that is one way to do it oh something you don't agree well that fun is the way
00:07:46to create a
00:07:46deep and meaningful soulmate match yes yes I would say I definitely do not agree oh interesting but I
00:07:54would argue that my connection count proves otherwise oh Michael always focused on the digits and not the
00:08:00depth oh well as office manager of the DCC I would just like to point out that you two have
00:08:07some good
00:08:07old-fashioned banter going on there I see it I do I I really really do oh Darcy you're up

00:17:51to
00:17:51remind you here but i think you do remember that i am the one that matched the celebrity couple oh
00:17:58that's
00:17:58right michael the hollywood angel now remind me how did that turn out oh that's right they broke up
00:18:05twice but i did get them together twice and married nonetheless there is something to be said about
00:18:11that and you're probably wondering but how did you do it well my christmas connection was fun
00:18:14and spontaneous okay we get it you're fun and spontaneous it's enough fine i'll tell you what
00:18:22i will try your way but you you have to take a sip of hot chocolate i am not drinking

00:18:36i got it
00:18:46listen will you please just let me take the lead on this
00:18:48mm-hmm i'm telling you they need to connect over something meaningful or there's just going
00:18:53to be a repeat of your hollywood couple debacle okay i'm just saying i will take the lead on this
00:18:58when it inevitably fails it's not gonna fail but if it does fail it's not gonna fail but if it
00:19:02does
00:19:02fail deal deal great hi guys mirabelle it's so good to see you you brought mirabelle of course
00:19:08yeah hope i'm not intruding but uh thanks for having me always love helping monica on a matchup
00:19:15okay let's do this wait wait wait what's going on here are you doing a cute puppy parry yes it
00:19:20is a
00:19:20tried and true method of creating a deep soul connection two people bonding over the care and
00:19:25protection of an animal in need it brings out the most beautiful parts of the tender hearts yeah
00:19:30historically i would agree with you but you do know that patrick is allergic to dogs yes
00:19:36uh how allergic is he epi pen in his pocket allergic no it was supposed to be a kitten booth
00:19:44but
00:19:44you know with the budget cuts of the dcc i had to go with puppies i mean there was a
00:19:48price difference
00:19:49yes never mind the specifics we have a noel 911 i think i lost the puppy no no no no
00:19:57no this is
00:19:57going to debris everything okay just calm down calm down everything is going to be fine how can you
00:20:01say that you're glad that this happened why would i be glad this happened because you said the puppy
00:20:05pairing was a bad idea well it is a bad idea but i don't want to see a puppy going
00:20:08missing or you
00:20:10be all stressed out oh well thank you it's very nice you're welcome i think it went that way
00:20:23isn't it in here he's not here his name is clarence clarence you named the christmas puppy of
00:20:29course interested i believe that connections grow in all spaces based on the energy and effort that
00:20:35you put in and that applies to magical puppies too i never thought about it like that okay i'm
00:20:44thinking about this it actually makes sense in order to create a connection you need to have a
00:20:48connection to it that's what you mean right that's exactly what i mean all good
00:21:00oh oh gosh oh no no get it away get it away get away get away get away shoot shoot
00:21:04shoot oh oh oh no

00:21:18i need a tissue i need a tissue please be careful oh oh oh bird oh oh ice aloe oh
00:21:27a medic someone medic
00:21:30Well, hey, ma'am.
00:21:33Is it time to find you a little home?
00:21:36So...
00:21:38Job well done.
00:21:47Oh, hey, Gabriel.
00:21:49Um, I think I just heard someone call my name.
00:21:51Did you hear that?
00:21:53Bye.
00:21:57Monica, Michael, have a seat.
00:21:59Oh.
00:22:03Okay.
00:22:04Okay, remind me.
00:22:06Did I or did I not tell you to work together on this?
00:22:09You did, sir.
00:22:11And did I or did I not mention that we're at risk of being downsized?
00:22:16You did, sir.
00:22:18So why do I have one tender heart nursing minor burns on his hand
00:22:22and the other tender heart alone fostering a puppy?
00:22:38And this is not two tender hearts closer to becoming soulmates.
00:22:42Having Michael there distracted me, sir?
00:22:44You're supposed to be working together.
00:22:46Combining forces, divide and feather, all those things.
00:22:49Remember?
00:22:50Yeah, I remember.
00:22:51But she's not too keen on working with me, boss.
00:22:53And also there's Mirabelle.
00:22:55You don't know what you're doing.
00:22:57You don't know what you're doing.
00:22:58Enough.
00:22:59You two are my best angels.
00:23:01You're the best of the best.
00:23:03But right now, you're acting like you just got your wings.
00:23:06Well, I did kind of just get my wings.
00:23:10Semantics.
00:23:11I'm just saying that I have to report to Cloud Command
00:23:13on the status of all of our successful matches.
00:23:16And right now, we have none.
00:23:19So get it together, you two,
00:23:20because I do not want to be sharing an office with Q,
00:23:22but you hear any?
00:23:23Ugh, those bows and arrows?
00:23:26Together.
00:23:27A team.
00:23:30Fine.
00:23:31Fine.
00:23:32Fine.
00:23:33Fine.
00:23:43Not to be critical, but your landing was a bit off.
00:23:45Could use a little work.
00:23:46This is not the time for jokes.
00:23:51Never in my centuries of the DCC
00:23:53have I ever been reprimanded until now.
00:23:56My work as a Christmas connection angel is a disaster.
00:24:00What?
00:24:01A rough start, sure, but...
00:24:03I mean, we're not cupids.
00:24:04The little bows and arrows.
00:24:06We are creators.
00:24:08We set the scene.
00:24:09We push fate into motion.
00:24:11I mean, it takes brains to do what we do.
00:24:13Not just little wings, you know?
00:24:15I know what our job is.
00:24:17Thank you, Michael.
00:24:19We are Christmas connection angels.
00:24:21It is a top-tier gig.
00:24:23The matches are already made,
00:24:24but we're there to just nudge them along.
00:24:26It's not that hard.
00:24:27Did you miss the part
00:24:29where Patrick was scalded
00:24:30while having an allergy attack?
00:24:35Minor detail.
00:24:37Look, here's the thing.
00:24:39Is we can't continue arguing
00:24:40because it's not going to work.
00:24:41We're not arguing.
00:24:42You're just wrong.
00:24:43Oh, okay.
00:24:44Well, why don't we just try
00:24:45a more angelic way?
00:24:47You know, wings together.
00:24:48One mission.
00:24:50You and I.
00:24:51What do you say?
00:24:52Mm, no.
00:24:53Okay.
00:25:06What are you doing?
00:25:07We're wreath-making,
00:25:09and I'm fixing this one
00:25:10because it's practically naked.
00:25:11It needs to have a bow,
00:25:12and people are watching.
00:25:15What are you talking about?
00:25:17What?
00:25:18Pinecones.
00:25:19Holly.
00:25:20Those are just the bones,
00:25:21but the bow, the bow,
00:25:23I mean, that's the soul
00:25:25of the wreath, you know?
00:25:27Ties it all together.
00:25:28Mm-hmm.
00:25:29Literally.
00:25:32Funny story.
00:25:33One time, a tender-heart couple,
00:25:35I paired up.
00:25:37They actually connected
00:25:38over debating bow placement.
00:25:40She was a little off-center.
00:25:41He was more of a traditionalist.
00:25:42It was a real wreath
00:25:43to romance pipeline.
00:25:45The sparks were flying,
00:25:46if you know what I mean.
00:25:47Mm-hmm.
00:25:48How do you know that?
00:25:50Because I might have been observing
00:25:51a little more closely
00:25:52than I should have been.
00:25:53Oh, you broke the hark.
00:25:55Bent.
00:25:56Nudged.
00:25:57Gently massaged.
00:26:00Look, what I'm trying to say, though,
00:26:02is we need to get in the mind
00:26:04of the tender-hearts
00:26:04and do the things
00:26:05the tender-hearts do,
00:26:06like wreath-making.
00:26:10Trust me, it helps.
00:26:13Also, trust me,
00:26:14it won't be fun.
00:26:14In fact,
00:26:15this can be sewn as a rule.
00:26:17You're very serious about this.
00:26:19Only about important things,
00:26:20like bows and saving Christmas.
00:26:24Okay.
00:26:25There.
00:26:26See?
00:26:26Perfect.
00:26:28I mean, emotionally perfect.
00:26:29Structurally, it's a disaster, but...
00:26:31It has character.
00:26:36Yeah.
00:26:40Okay, so...
00:26:42What now?
00:26:44Uh, now we...
00:26:46We shake on it.
00:26:48You know?
00:26:49No fun.
00:26:49At all.
00:26:50Just, like, serious business.
00:26:52Just angelic professionalism.
00:26:55Angel's honor.
00:26:58Fine.
00:27:10So, what are we doing here?
00:27:12Well, we need to figure out
00:27:14what Patrick actually does for fun.
00:27:17I have been studying Patrick all year.
00:27:20He doesn't have fun.
00:27:21He works and volunteers
00:27:23and spends time
00:27:24with his adoptive grandmother, Elaine.
00:27:26That's it.
00:27:28Elaine.
00:27:29That's how he has fun.
00:27:31We can't just guess.
00:27:33We need to see what she brings out in him.
00:27:34You know, what matters to him now,
00:27:36it actually excites him.
00:27:39So you want to spy on him?
00:27:43Observe.
00:27:45Casually.
00:27:46Like holiday ninjas.
00:27:49Checkmate.
00:27:50I still got it, don't I?
00:27:52Every time.
00:27:55They do a beautiful Christmas set up here, huh?
00:27:57Very nice.
00:27:58I'm comfortable here.
00:27:59Good.
00:28:00Yeah.
00:28:00Does it feel like you're back at home?
00:28:02Patrick, dear.
00:28:03You're a sweetheart.
00:28:04But you've been here all morning.
00:28:06It's a beautiful day outside.
00:28:09You really should be out with your friends.
00:28:11I am with my friends.
00:28:13People your own age, darling.
00:28:15My whole world's online.
00:28:17Real-life friends are overrated.
00:28:19Did I tell you how close I am
00:28:20to cracking this sequencing code at work?
00:28:22It could be my Christmas miracle.
00:28:26But I'll get back to that later tonight.
00:28:28I just worry that you're giving too much
00:28:29to your online world
00:28:30and keeping too little for yourself
00:28:32out here in the real world.
00:28:33I know how much you love your work.
00:28:35And I do appreciate the time you spend with me.
00:28:38But please, think about it.
00:28:40I think about everything
00:28:41that you talk to me about.
00:28:43Oh, speaking of which,
00:28:44my algorithm keeps bringing up this dance.
00:28:46It's called the Christmas Foxtrot.
00:28:49My phone must have heard us talking
00:28:50about something last time I was here.
00:28:52Anyhow, I spent hours
00:28:55watching reels about it.
00:28:58It's kind of an old-fashioned dance.
00:29:00You ever heard of it?
00:29:01Heard of it?
00:29:02Honey, I won my high school dance trophy
00:29:04in heels and a petticoat doing the Foxtrot.
00:29:07Stand up.
00:29:08What?
00:29:08No, no, no, no.
00:29:10I just...
00:29:10Don't worry, I'll lead.
00:29:13Oh, boy, you better.
00:29:15All right, just let this up here.
00:29:18Slow, quick, quick.
00:29:23Slow, quick, quick.
00:29:24All right, slow, slow, quick.
00:29:28All right, let me try.
00:29:29The thing's over now.
00:29:31I always loved watching
00:29:32the Tender Hearts dance.
00:29:36It's the one thing I always thought
00:29:38looked so nice.
00:29:40Wait, are you telling me
00:29:42you haven't tried dancing either?
00:29:45Well, I mean, sure, by myself
00:29:48at a DCC Christmas party,
00:29:50but never with someone like that.
00:29:54I mean, have you?
00:29:59I mean, well, no.
00:30:04Not like that.
00:30:07You're right, though.
00:30:08It does, like you said, look really fun.
00:30:10No, I didn't say fun.
00:30:12Sweet fun.
00:30:13It's the same thing.
00:30:17It's just so...
00:30:19It just looks so harmless.
00:30:22Maybe an angel wouldn't be sent
00:30:24to the mailroom for dancing.
00:30:28No.
00:30:29No, we were lucky enough
00:30:32to be born angels.
00:30:35It's our purpose.
00:30:38We're destined.
00:30:38And our entire existence
00:30:41is to help others.
00:30:43It's not about what we want.
00:30:47Maybe sometimes it should be.
00:30:55We need to focus.
00:30:56What have we learned here?
00:30:58We have learned
00:30:59that Patrick's Achille Hill
00:31:01is the cha-cha.
00:31:04I think it's the foxtrot.
00:31:06Whatever.
00:31:08Okay.
00:31:09Let's go.
00:31:15I can't believe
00:31:16we're so close to Christmas.
00:31:17I am not ready.
00:31:18Really?
00:31:19You look ready.
00:31:20This is just for my cousins.
00:31:22I haven't even started on my siblings.
00:31:24Well, you're way ahead of me.
00:31:25I don't think I have one gift yet.
00:31:27Of course you haven't.
00:31:28You're working 24-7.
00:31:30I'm working 24-7
00:31:31because of my book deadline.
00:31:33I still can't believe
00:31:34what you're writing about, Daisy.
00:31:35Why would you say that?
00:31:37Christmas Tales of Love.
00:31:39And?
00:31:40Daisy Willoughby.
00:31:41You are writing a book about love,
00:31:43but you know nothing about it.
00:31:44That is not true.
00:31:46I seem to remember
00:31:47your last serious relationship
00:31:48being in high school.
00:31:49Okay, well, it was,
00:31:51but writing does not need
00:31:52to be based on experience.
00:31:53Imagination is just as powerful.
00:31:55Plus, it's about
00:31:56senior citizens' story of love.
00:31:58My grandpa's idea, actually.
00:32:00Oh, well, that's cute.
00:32:01Well, in any case,
00:32:03I'm just glad you moved back home.
00:32:04Even though I only see you
00:32:05once every three months.
00:32:07I know, I know.
00:32:08I'm the worst.
00:32:09No, you're literally the best.
00:32:11So I want to see you more.
00:32:13Yeah, well, I'm still trying
00:32:14to convince my grandpa
00:32:15to warm up to the idea
00:32:16of moving into
00:32:17that retirement residence.
00:32:19Well, I'm sure if you love it,
00:32:21he will, too.
00:32:22Yeah, between work
00:32:23and time with my grandpa,
00:32:24I feel like I hardly
00:32:25have time to breathe.
00:32:26So tell me why
00:32:27you're fostering a puppy.
00:32:28Fair point.
00:32:35So she's shopping with a friend.
00:32:37We already know
00:32:37that Daisy's overworked.
00:32:38Mm-hmm, yeah.
00:32:39You know, it's the one thing
00:32:40I love about these tender hearts
00:32:41is they say everything
00:32:42they're feeling.
00:32:43We already know all of this.
00:32:45Why are we here?
00:32:46We are here to spread
00:32:47a little joy
00:32:49and have some fun.
00:32:51Don't worry, not you.
00:32:52Daisy and Patrick.
00:32:54You're bringing Patrick here?
00:32:55Yeah.
00:32:57Trust me.
00:32:58I don't.
00:32:59Well, you should.
00:33:11I can't believe
00:33:12you're setting up a lab match
00:33:13without any preparation.
00:33:14Come on, just have some faith.
00:33:17Oh, Patrick, Daisy,
00:33:19you're so close
00:33:20to your soulmates.
00:33:21Just put your phone down.
00:33:24No, it just calls
00:33:25for a little ninja star.
00:33:28Is it going to hurt
00:33:29to find someone in a book?
00:33:31One second.
00:33:32Hello?
00:33:34Hi, Mom.
00:33:35What do you mean
00:33:36you can't put up
00:33:36the Christmas tree?
00:33:38You got a nine-foot tree?
00:33:40Why?
00:33:41Okay.
00:33:42Okay.
00:33:42Stop.
00:33:43No, don't do it by yourself.
00:33:44I'll be right there.
00:33:46Sorry, Daisy.
00:33:47I gotta go save my mom
00:33:48from her giant Christmas tree.
00:33:50Of course.
00:33:50I'll call you later?
00:33:51Yeah.
00:33:51Okay.
00:33:52Bye.
00:33:53Good luck.
00:33:57Ready to see a little magic?
00:34:02Michael, what are you doing?
00:34:04What's it look like I'm doing?
00:34:06It's a Christmas flash, Mom!
00:34:09Christmas flash, Mom?
00:34:10Christmas flash, Mom.
00:34:11What's the one thing
00:34:12we learned about Patrick?
00:34:13It's that he loves
00:34:14to dance with Elaine.
00:34:15He's a real fresh stare.
00:34:16Oh, did we learn that?
00:34:17Yeah.
00:34:18Look at...
00:34:19Oh, just look up
00:34:21from your phones.
00:34:24Oh, they're so close.
00:34:27Oh, thank God.
00:34:30Uh-huh.
00:34:32Patrick doesn't look
00:34:34like he's enjoying us.
00:34:35Yeah.
00:34:37Okay.
00:34:37No.
00:34:38No.
00:34:39No.
00:34:39No.
00:34:40No.
00:34:41No.
00:34:42No.
00:34:43No.
00:34:45No.
00:34:50Okay.
00:34:51I'm going to...
00:34:52Dance them together.
00:34:54That's not a thing.
00:34:56It is now.
00:34:59Hey, hey!
00:35:00What do you think you're doing?
00:35:01We're all dancing.
00:35:02We're having fun here.
00:35:04Okay.
00:35:06Dance.
00:35:06La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La
00:35:12La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La
00:35:18La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La
00:35:21La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La
00:35:22La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La
00:35:22La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La
00:35:26La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La
00:35:26La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La
00:35:26La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La
00:35:26La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La
00:35:27La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La
00:35:28La La La
00:35:46Where did they go?
00:35:49Oh no.
00:35:52Biscuits!
00:36:08Where are the marshmallows?
00:36:09What?
00:36:10Monica, the marshmallows, it's not Christmas hot chocolate if there are no marshmallows.
00:36:14Okay.
00:36:15Oh.
00:36:26You know, Christmas flash mob was a great idea.
00:36:32It really was, right?
00:36:34I thought it was good.
00:36:35I mean, but who doesn't like dancing, right?
00:36:37I mean, what is this place?
00:36:39Footloose?
00:36:40What's Footloose?
00:36:42Footloose, the movie, Kevin Bacon.
00:36:45It was very impactful cinema.
00:36:47You don't know it?
00:36:48Okay.
00:36:49Well, I may have missed Footloose, but, um...
00:36:52Crazy.
00:36:53I did see plagues, and revolutions, and powdered wigs, and I've been matchmaking through all
00:36:58of that, but I have never seen a Christmas flash mob.
00:37:03That was a first.
00:37:03It was pretty cool, right?
00:37:05When you got to admit it, it was pretty cool.
00:37:08And I guess that's what I'm trying to say, is it's important sometimes to put yourself
00:37:12into their glitter-covered, holiday-filled shoes.
00:37:16It can be fun.
00:37:17They do like their holiday shoes.
00:37:19They do.
00:37:20And their holiday sweaters.
00:37:21So cute.
00:37:22They really do.
00:37:24Okay, why don't we try going back to basics?
00:37:29Fine.
00:37:30Let's go back to basics.
00:37:32Let me take squash pillows.
00:37:37And do you like this retirement residence?
00:37:40Nice people, you say?
00:37:41Very nice people, Grandad.
00:37:43In fact, some of them I plan to interview for my book, Senior Love Match.
00:37:47Is that right?
00:37:48It is.
00:37:49It's actually really sweet, Grandad.
00:37:51From all the research that I've done, I've heard that falling in love in your 70s is just
00:37:55as special as it was back in your 20s.
00:37:58Hopefully I'll know one day.
00:38:00Well, with a smile like that, I'm sure.
00:38:03Oh, and did I tell you?
00:38:04At the Senior's Residence, they said that you can do a trial run.
00:38:07So you can sleep there for a few nights if you like it.
00:38:10How's the food?
00:38:12The food is good.
00:38:14I think.
00:38:18Oh, this is the one.
00:38:21I love it.
00:38:22She's a beaut, all right.
00:38:24Listen, listen.
00:38:26I'm at the tree farm now.
00:38:27I'm not letting you get another artificial tree.
00:38:29No, it doesn't look like they have any, Sitka.
00:38:32Just blue spruce.
00:38:33I know, I know.
00:38:34I clearly chose the wrong tree farm.
00:38:37Oh, there's one.
00:38:45Oh, excuse me.
00:38:46So sorry.
00:38:47Did you want this tree?
00:38:49Uh, I did, but it's okay.
00:38:51I'm sure that I could find another Sitka.
00:38:54Sitka?
00:38:54Uh, yes, yes.
00:38:55That's just the genus of Christmas tree that I'm looking for.
00:38:57Oh, I know what a Sitka is.
00:38:58I'm just surprised that someone else prefers a Sitka over a blue spruce.
00:39:03You too?
00:39:04Yeah.
00:39:05Yeah, my granddad is a horticulturist, so tree sap runs in my blood.
00:39:08Oh, that must be sticky.
00:39:14Yes, see, see, see?
00:39:15This is what happens when you have real connection.
00:39:18All you need is something that is simple and elegant and classic.
00:39:22Classic, yes.
00:39:24They can't even see each other.
00:39:25Yet, they will give it a flicker.
00:39:28And I could be mistaken, but it looks like you're having a lot of fun, and I'd like to
00:39:33see that.
00:39:34No, you're wrong.
00:39:36Oh, it's just that you were jumping.
00:39:38No, I do not jump.
00:39:40Hopping.
00:39:40Hey there, folks.
00:39:41Need a hand with anything?
00:39:43Um, no.
00:39:44No.
00:39:44We're good.
00:39:45You sure?
00:39:46Yeah.
00:39:47Well, you know you're under the mistletoe, right?
00:39:50It's a...
00:39:54Oh.
00:39:56That.
00:39:57We're just, um...
00:40:00Uh, just working.
00:40:01Working.
00:40:02You sure?
00:40:03Yes.
00:40:04Well, like, not like work here, work here, but working.
00:40:08It's kind of bad luck to just hang out under the mistletoe without any kissing.
00:40:11No, no.
00:40:12No, it doesn't count.
00:40:13We're fine.
00:40:15Here's the thing, okay?
00:40:16So, these mistletoe moments, they're kind of sort of part of my job.
00:40:20I take a picture of the kiss.
00:40:22We put it online.
00:40:23Get some oohs, some uhs.
00:40:24It gets shared around.
00:40:25We go viral.
00:40:26But, uh, that doesn't happen if I don't take a picture, right?
00:40:30So, I can get in really big trouble, guys.
00:40:33It's my holiday job.
00:40:34It's almost Christmas.
00:40:35My mom's gonna kill me if I do that, and it's...
00:40:36Okay, okay, okay, okay.
00:40:37Yep.
00:40:38Yes, yes.
00:40:38We will do the kiss.
00:40:40We will?
00:40:41We can't be responsible for our tender heart being fired at Christmas.
00:40:46You're right.
00:40:48We'll do the kissing.
00:40:49Mm-hmm, yeah.
00:40:51Yep, we'll do the, the, the kissing.
00:40:53Viral.
00:40:54Okay.
00:40:55Just take the picture.
00:40:56Okay, and...
00:41:04Excuse me there, lovebirds.
00:41:08Patrick, no!
00:41:09We missed him!
00:41:10We lost him!
00:41:12Ah!
00:41:12Biscuits!
00:41:13We need to get back and regroup.
00:41:20Hello?
00:41:29There you are.
00:41:30I'm so excited.
00:41:32I've been having so much success with Marcus.
00:41:34Marcus?
00:41:34Yeah, you know Daisy's best friend?
00:41:36You met the other night before the dance-off.
00:41:38Oh, him, right.
00:41:40Anyways, things are going so smoothly.
00:41:42You are such a genius.
00:41:44Yeah, I'm definitely not a genius.
00:41:46Wait, why do you think I'm a genius?
00:41:47I mean, the brute awakening just works every time.
00:41:50Ugh.
00:41:51Oh, no.
00:41:52What's wrong?
00:41:53Yes, coffee collisions are supposed to be the most elegant setup.
00:41:57It's one of the oldest tricks in the book.
00:41:59Sorry, I forgot it didn't work with Patrick and Daisy.
00:42:02Yeah.
00:42:03I'm just going over all of my old notes because I've been doing this successfully for centuries
00:42:09and suddenly none of my methods are working.
00:42:11Well, how is having a partner?
00:42:14Is Michael helping at all?
00:42:15No, no, he's not.
00:42:17He's reckless and a rule breaker and he's over the top.
00:42:21And do you know that he drinks hot chocolate with marshmallows?
00:42:26And?
00:42:28And he just chooses not to follow the hark and he doesn't even get reprimanded for it.
00:42:32Hanukkah, you just love rules.
00:42:35They make you feel like you're always going to be successful.
00:42:37But some people like to march to their own beat.
00:42:41And the hark is just a guideline.
00:42:43I mean, you said it yourself.
00:42:44The way tender hearts behave now is so different than 200 years ago.
00:42:47But worked then really shouldn't work now.
00:42:51Times have changed.
00:42:52Evolved.
00:42:53Maybe we should be too.
00:42:55You sound like Michael.
00:42:56I'm just saying.
00:42:57Perhaps, maybe consider, you might have a point.
00:43:01Maybe see how you work together as a team.
00:43:05See how you feel.
00:43:08It's the soul matches that matter, not my feelings.
00:43:12I'm just saying, try the hot chocolate.
00:43:15It could be delicious.
00:43:18Monica, Mirabelle, hi.
00:43:20Listen, was wondering if I might borrow a feather.
00:43:23Don't have my wings yet, as you know.
00:43:26But I've almost caught a match down on Earth.
00:43:28And I'd like to see it through.
00:43:30Oh, yes, Darcy.
00:43:32Of course you can borrow a feather.
00:43:36Here you go.
00:43:37Good luck.
00:43:38Safe travels.
00:43:41Great.
00:43:41So now angels who don't even have their wings yet are surpassing me.
00:43:45Maybe I should go for a jog in the clouds.
00:43:47You know, some fresh air.
00:43:49That always helps clear your head when you're worried.
00:43:52Yes.
00:43:53You're right.
00:43:53I should go get some exercise in the clouds.
00:43:58Thanks, Mirabelle.
00:44:00You're a good friend.
00:44:28Excuse me, I booked the clouds for this time.
00:44:32Biscuits!
00:44:33No need for profanities, Monica.
00:44:38Sorry?
00:44:41What are you doing here?
00:44:44Uh, I am doing the same thing you're doing.
00:44:48You know, just clearing my mind.
00:44:50Getting some exercise.
00:44:53Didn't picture you as a star breather.
00:44:57Really?
00:44:58Why, because I like Tenderheart movies?
00:45:00No, because you wear your shirt so fitted.
00:45:04Did Monica the Miracle Christmas Angel just make a joke?
00:45:13So how you been?
00:45:18Not, not great, actually.
00:45:21Oh?
00:45:22Yeah.
00:45:24It, this is just, it's been a really hard decade for me.
00:45:28Right.
00:45:29And Christmas, the spirit used to help Christmas matches go so smoothly and now I just don't
00:45:36know what is wrong with the Tenderhearts anymore.
00:45:38Cell phones, social media, scrolling, reels, their heads down.
00:45:43You know, so bad.
00:45:46The Tenderhearts world, it's really loud.
00:45:52But that's not the issue we're having.
00:45:55With Patrick and Daisy, that's, we're not having that issue with them.
00:45:58I think what we need to do is just understand them honestly.
00:46:02Right.
00:46:03Yes, honestly, I think that's, that's probably, probably right.
00:46:10Monica, the reason I haven't been sent to the mailroom for straying outside of the heart
00:46:14is because I told Gabriel years ago that if I was to make good connections, I need to
00:46:20understand the Tenderhearts.
00:46:23And I know that I'm young, but I just felt like I needed that in order to do what I
00:46:28do.
00:46:31Sorry, I don't know why that all just came out.
00:46:32I don't know.
00:46:33No, no, no, thank, thank you for sharing.
00:46:44Can I ask you a question?
00:46:46What is it about Tenderheart dancing that makes you so curious?
00:46:53I don't think I could put a feather on it.
00:46:55Just try, try it.
00:46:59Okay, it's the heart-to-heart of it.
00:47:01You know how when they're so close and it just looks so soft and serene?
00:47:09Like, in the times of the grand ballrooms, when they would slow dance, everything just
00:47:15looks so...
00:47:19Glimmery.
00:47:20Yeah.
00:47:22Dancing slowly looks really glimmery.
00:47:24Can I ask you a question?
00:47:26Yes.
00:47:27Yeah.
00:47:29Is there any Earth things that you haven't tried yet, or is that a silly question because
00:47:35you've just done well?
00:47:36Are you kidding me?
00:47:37There are so many things I haven't done, especially...
00:47:41Like what?
00:47:43The fun ones, you know, that demand having a partner.
00:47:46You know.
00:47:48What?
00:47:51Snowball fight.
00:47:53Snowball fight?
00:47:54A snowball fight?
00:47:55It's on my bucket list.
00:47:56It just looks so fun.
00:47:57That swirl of white chaos.
00:47:59The perfect aim of fluffy powder as it flies through the air.
00:48:09You're full of surprises, Michael.
00:48:12You're a whippersnapper.
00:48:23So should we try again, a more, like, strategic, organized attempt?
00:48:31It's not a chess match.
00:48:33You sure?
00:48:35What, would you prefer a romantic evening of storm chasing?
00:48:39I've never done that.
00:48:40That actually sounds really good.
00:48:41We should do that.
00:48:42That's a good idea.
00:48:43Yeah.
00:48:50Actually, I want to show you something.
00:48:54Okay.
00:49:08I really appreciated you telling me why you haven't been demoted for not following the
00:49:13hark, so I wanted to share this with you.
00:49:17Okay.
00:49:19This is where I matched Patrick's great-great-great-great-grandparents.
00:49:24Really?
00:49:26Wow.
00:49:28They met right over there while their parents were attending a dance.
00:49:31They arrived on horse and carriage.
00:49:34It was so beautiful.
00:49:37That's why Patrick and Daisy's match is so important to me.
00:49:42I've been guiding this family's heartstrings for generations.
00:49:46It's a legacy of soulmate matches.
00:49:50Legacy of soulmate matches?
00:49:53That's incredible.
00:49:57I don't think any of my matches have turned into a legacy of family matches like this.
00:50:04Really?
00:50:05Yeah.
00:50:06Have you ever looked into what happens to your couples after the magic of Christmas wears off?
00:50:16Well, traditionally, the ones that last have a different type of connection, you know?
00:50:35Kind of layered nuance that's essential.
00:50:43I don't know anymore.
00:50:46Times are changing.
00:50:50Can I show you something?
00:50:52Yeah.
00:50:57This is Patrick's family tree.
00:51:01It's a love story of the ages.
00:51:04Oh.
00:51:07After Patrick's parents died, I wasn't sure if he would trust love again.
00:51:13Wait, his parents died?
00:51:16How did I not know that?
00:51:18Well, that's why Elaine took him in when he was 10.
00:51:22That's so beautiful.
00:51:24Yeah.
00:51:25But she was on track to become a world chess champion, and she chose to create her own family instead
00:51:33of chasing trophies.
00:51:35Oh.
00:51:36Oh.
00:51:40Here's Patrick's parents on their wedding day.
00:51:44Wow.
00:51:46Okay, wait, so you mapped the entire line.
00:51:49Hmm.
00:51:51Gosh, this makes sense now.
00:51:53That's why Patrick and Daisy mean so much to you.
00:51:57It's not just about saving the DCC.
00:52:00It's a much deeper connection.
00:52:03Exactly.
00:52:06Thank you for listening.
00:52:08Well, thank you for telling me and bringing me here.
00:52:11It's beautiful.
00:52:15Okay, so let's try your way.
00:52:20What do you want to do next?
00:52:21I thought you'd never ask.
00:52:22There is no outside the window, but it makes me feel so warm.
00:52:28Gives me power to hold on another year.
00:52:32Then I took away the limbo.
00:52:35Cause I know you'll be back home, and you've been gone for so long.
00:52:40Oh, I don't want anything else than what I already have.
00:52:46I don't need anything more than you've got to confess.
00:52:50Cause this season feels like magic.
00:52:54I forgot all of the sadness.
00:52:59Cause at Christmas, everything gets better.
00:53:04And the past can also be a present.
00:53:08Oh, the people celebrate together.
00:53:13All mistakes don't matter for a day.
00:53:15I wish for Christmas every day.
00:53:21Every day.
00:53:33Monica, Michael, imagine my surprise to hear that you two are working so well together
00:53:38that you had time for a near kiss under the mistletoe there on Earth.
00:53:45We, we were working hard, sir.
00:53:48That, that was, there was a tender heart and he was going to get fired.
00:53:50Yeah, and it's not like we actually, you know.
00:53:53I don't.
00:53:54Listen, I called you two back here to remind you that we need all pistons firing on this.
00:53:59They are, sir.
00:54:00All the pistons.
00:54:01Because I just received an update from Christmas Cloud Command, and, well.
00:54:05Wait, Cloud Command is weighing in on our case?
00:54:08They don't normally do that, do they?
00:54:09No, they don't.
00:54:11However, the urgency of this case has just hit 10,000, so
00:54:14they are now.
00:54:15Wait, is this more urgent than downsizing?
00:54:18Yes, more urgent than downsizing.
00:54:20Because the timeline for Patrick and Daisy has been updated.
00:54:24Updated?
00:54:24The timeline has moved up.
00:54:26You two need to create this love match by Christmas Day.
00:54:28That's in two days.
00:54:29Where all is lost.
00:54:30All is lost?
00:54:31All is lost.
00:54:36You say all is lost, you mean...
00:54:38They'll never find their way back to each other ever again.
00:54:41That's why they call it all is lost, Michael.
00:54:42So it's pretty bad, then.
00:54:44Hey.
00:54:45Good to see that.
00:54:46In my hundreds of years as an angel, I've only ever seen it happen a few times, and
00:54:51consequences were dire.
00:54:52This is similar.
00:54:54I just have so many questions right now.
00:54:56No, we've got to go.
00:54:57We've got to go.
00:54:58Yes, we've got to go.
00:54:58Okay.
00:55:00Gabriel, you can count on us.
00:55:01All will not be lost.
00:55:02Monica?
00:55:03Yes.
00:55:03We're on.
00:55:05All right.
00:55:06This is where they meet.
00:55:07This is it.
00:55:10Oh, there's Elaine.
00:55:13And Nathan.
00:55:15Wait.
00:55:17Where's Patrick?
00:55:18Where's Daisy?
00:55:19She should be here.
00:55:20I was sure she was going to be here.
00:55:21I was so disorganized.
00:55:23No, no, no.
00:55:23This is good.
00:55:24This is okay.
00:55:24It just means we're early.
00:55:25We're just here a bit early.
00:55:27So that's going to be...
00:55:29Wait, that's their relatives.
00:55:31This is actually a good thing.
00:55:32This is actually a really good thing.
00:55:34But it really is charming.
00:55:36Pains me to say it, but I was expecting something different.
00:55:40Point I'm trying to make is I'm happy my granddaughter had me come and test run the place, so to
00:55:45speak.
00:55:45Oh, so you think you'll move in then?
00:55:47I do.
00:55:49Staff even said they have a room available, and I could be in before Christmas, in fact.
00:55:53That is splendid.
00:55:55Check.
00:55:57Wow.
00:55:58You really were serious when you said you knew a thing or two about chess.
00:56:01Just a little.
00:56:02I hope I can give you enough of a challenge to make it interesting.
00:56:06Oh, I find you interesting, all right.
00:56:09Check again.
00:56:11Patrick's here a lot you say.
00:56:13That he's, uh, Michael Granson, but not quite.
00:56:16That's right.
00:56:17But, you know, Patrick spends so much time trying to be here for me that I fear he forgets to
00:56:22be happy for himself sometimes.
00:56:24Yeah.
00:56:25Mike Daisy is the same.
00:56:27Always writing stories, heading to a book or iPad, or looking after me.
00:56:31But never feels like she's looking out for herself.
00:56:35Hmm.
00:56:36I guess we have that in common, then.
00:56:37Seems that we do.
00:56:39If you don't mind me admitting, I'm quite fond of our time together.
00:56:45Makes moving here all the more interesting.
00:56:51This is an accidental maybe match.
00:56:55Let me show you something.
00:57:01What is this?
00:57:02This is my soul scenario map.
00:57:05These are all the couples I almost match.
00:57:07My nearly misses.
00:57:08I call them my maybe matches.
00:57:10I run them through a simulator, and I test alternate paths.
00:57:14Are you saying you practice your soul matches?
00:57:18Some good old Christmas logistics.
00:57:20It helps me feel like I'm part of their story, even though I'm not the one writing it.
00:57:25We've got Daisy and Patrick on here.
00:57:27Yes.
00:57:28Yes, I've run them through multiple times.
00:57:30And as you know, they keep slipping past each other.
00:57:33As they're working, they're absent-minded, they're clumsy.
00:57:35They've got their heads down in their phones.
00:57:39Wait, Nathan and Elaine, they had a spark, right?
00:57:43They definitely did.
00:57:44They were laughing like teenagers.
00:57:47That's it.
00:57:49They need to make each other laugh.
00:57:51The small moments in between.
00:57:52The minutes within the seconds.
00:57:54That's where the real spark ignites.
00:57:57Always.
00:58:01Music.
00:58:02Concert.
00:58:03Christmas carols.
00:58:04Yes!
00:58:05Now we're talking.
00:58:07Let's give them something to sing about.
00:58:12Thanks for showing up.
00:58:13I'm so nervous.
00:58:15I haven't seen anyone since that last guy ghosted me.
00:58:18Wait, you got ghosted?
00:58:19Vanished before dessert.
00:58:20Mid-meal.
00:58:21Classic holiday romance.
00:58:24Awful.
00:58:24But honestly, I'm not surprised.
00:58:26It's brutal out there.
00:58:27I've tried.
00:58:28Apps, setups.
00:58:29One guy thought a bag of gummy bears counted as dinner.
00:58:32Another said I was wife material, but not vacation material.
00:58:37Oh, honey.
00:58:38I know you think I've just been hiding from love, but the truth is I just haven't found
00:58:44anyone that actually shows up.
00:58:46Or maybe I'm just too much.
00:58:48You are not too much, Daisy Willoughby.
00:58:51They are just not enough.
00:58:54I really did used to believe that love was magical.
00:58:57These days, I don't know.
00:59:01Well, tonight, let's pretend like it still is.
00:59:04Cheers to that.
00:59:05Cheers.
00:59:11Oh, my goodness.
00:59:12That's the guy I've been talking to online.
00:59:16That's him, right?
00:59:17Oh, yeah.
00:59:17That is him.
00:59:20So, what are you ready for?
00:59:22Go.
00:59:23Seize the day.
00:59:23Okay.
00:59:24Go, go, go, go.
00:59:25Here goes nothing.
00:59:27You got this.
00:59:29Okay.
00:59:30Hi.
00:59:30Hi.
00:59:31I'm so glad you decided to come, Patrick.
00:59:33I know that you've been buried in research.
00:59:36I'll always drop my data sets for you.
00:59:40I just wish you'd make the same time to meet the granddaughter of my new neighbor, Nathan.
00:59:45Sounds like she spends about as much time socializing as you do.
00:59:48This new neighbor.
00:59:49You keep talking about him.
00:59:51Did I tell you that we played chess again this morning?
00:59:53Oh, did he cry when you beat him?
00:59:55Oh, stop.
00:59:57What?
00:59:57Did he?
00:59:58Well, the competition wasn't great, but the conversation is always lovely.
01:00:02And it always comes back to his granddaughter and you.
01:00:06I will meet her when the universe wants me to, but until then, you're my date.
01:00:12Do you think this is going to work?
01:00:14I don't know.
01:00:15Well, we haven't reached all his loss yet.
01:00:17No, we have not.
01:00:20Where is Maribel?
01:00:21I don't know.
01:00:21I don't know.
01:00:22Oh, don't worry, guys.
01:00:25I got this.
01:00:26Yeah.
01:00:29All right, Christmas people.
01:00:31We are about to kick off our festive fair tonight with some Christmas caroling.
01:00:37And who will sing first?
01:00:39Our first duet is Patrick and Daisy.
01:00:43Do we have a Patrick and Daisy here tonight?
01:00:45I have a Patrick right over here.
01:00:47Oh.
01:00:49What?
01:00:50Elaine, what are you doing?
01:00:51Oh, they called your name, sweetheart.
01:00:53I know.
01:00:53Go ahead.
01:00:53Don't be shy.
01:00:54Go ahead.
01:00:54Go.
01:00:54Go.
01:00:55No.
01:00:56There's a Daisy right over here.
01:00:58I'm Daisy, but I didn't put my name in a hat, so it's okay.
01:01:01I'm good.
01:01:02Yeah, and I'm Patrick, but I didn't volunteer for this either.
01:01:05No, no, no, no.
01:01:06They're so close.
01:01:06They're so close.
01:01:08We have to do something.
01:01:09What are we going to do?
01:01:10We are about to do something.
01:01:12Come on, come on, come on.
01:01:13What?
01:01:14Oh, my gosh.
01:01:15This is so funny.
01:01:17We're also Patrick and Daisy.
01:01:20We are?
01:01:21Yes.
01:01:22So we should have...
01:01:22We are we.
01:01:23Yes, we are.
01:01:24I'm Patrick and this is Daisy, and we have the same names as the other Daisy and Patrick.
01:01:29We should have a duet.
01:01:31We should have a duet.
01:01:33How about we have them come up?
01:01:35Patrick, Daisy.
01:01:37Patrick, Daisy.
01:01:39Patrick, Daisy.
01:01:41Patrick, Daisy.
01:01:43Patrick, Daisy.
01:01:44Patrick, Daisy.
01:01:46I'll do it.
01:01:47Patrick, Daisy.
01:01:49Patrick, Daisy.
01:01:51Right on.
01:01:52Get on up here, you guys.
01:01:53Hi, Daisy.
01:01:55Patrick, you're good.
01:01:55Nice to meet you.
01:01:56Let's sing a festive song.
01:01:59All right, let's follow our way into this, everybody.
01:02:07One, two, three, four.
01:02:09Take the whole script, boughs of holly.
01:02:13Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la.
01:02:17Tis the season to be jolly.
01:02:22Fa-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la.
01:02:26Long we now are gay apparel.
01:02:29Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.
01:02:33Take all the ancient, you'll die, Carol.
01:02:38Fa-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la.
01:02:42Whoa!
01:02:45Whoa!
01:02:46Oh, my gosh.
01:03:01Everybody's talking about us.
01:03:02Who's talking about us?
01:03:03Pretty sure I just saw Darcy talking about us.
01:03:05That was such a bad idea.
01:03:06We never should have gone up there.
01:03:07Okay, let's not be so hard on ourselves.
01:03:08I think everything's going to be fine.
01:03:09Why aren't you being harder on yourself?
01:03:11Monica, Michael, my office, now.
01:03:14Gotta go, bye.
01:03:18You two have made a mess.
01:03:19Cloud Man now wants hourly updates, so you can imagine that.
01:03:22Not to mention, we're trending on the Celestial Stream.
01:03:24Trending, which is bad, but kind of good.
01:03:27But I'm going with bad.
01:03:29Sir, if I may.
01:03:31I take responsibility.
01:03:35No, I take responsibility.
01:03:39I lied.
01:03:40It was my idea to pretend to be Daisy and Patrick.
01:03:43That's on me.
01:03:44Well, no, I mean, it was both of our ideas.
01:03:46We went in there.
01:03:47It wasn't even really a lie lie.
01:03:49It was more of a feather-sized film, you know,
01:03:52because we were trying to save the mission for the all is lost.
01:03:55Cloud Command wants a fall angel, so I'm sorry, Monica,
01:03:59but you're under review.
01:04:00You're excused.
01:04:02No, no, no, wait.
01:04:03No, Michael.
01:04:05It's okay.
01:04:06Really.
01:04:09We really did get so close.
01:04:12That's got to count for something.
01:04:14And I do think that it would have been the perfect
01:04:17first-meeting Christmas love story.
01:04:20Yeah.
01:04:43You're right.
01:04:45I mean, you're right.
01:04:49Some angels just don't have what it takes
01:04:51to make a true soul connection.
01:05:00I am really going to miss
01:05:05having my wings.
01:05:08Michael, come on.
01:05:09Don't do this.
01:05:09No, I blew it.
01:05:10I blew it, and Monica deserves better.
01:05:14This is quite the generous gift you're looking.
01:05:16Giving up your wings so that she can keep hers?
01:05:19Look, she's been around for hundreds of years,
01:05:20and I show up, and I mess everything up.
01:05:23And if giving up my wings means giving people
01:05:25the opportunity to see her smile again,
01:05:29it's worth it.
01:05:32Well, you are one of a kind, Michael.
01:05:34And for that, I'm going to give you two feathers
01:05:38so you can pop down to Earth if you need to.
01:05:43But just remember, now that you're without your wings,
01:05:46once you use up those two feathers,
01:05:47you can't go back to Earth, so use them wisely.
01:05:52Right.
01:05:54Thank you, Gabriel.
01:06:03And good luck with Patrick and Daisy.
01:06:05I hope Darcy can put them together,
01:06:07because they're a very, very special couple.
01:06:17Aren't they all?
01:06:18Oh, my God.
01:06:56I don't know.
01:07:36Oh, hey.
01:07:37Hi, could I get a...
01:07:42Hot chocolate, please.
01:07:43For sure, coming right up.
01:07:50And one hot chocolate.
01:08:08Are you okay, sweetheart?
01:08:10Oh, sorry.
01:08:12Oh, why don't you come sit with me?
01:08:21I'm sorry.
01:08:24I've never cried before.
01:08:25I don't know what's happening to me.
01:08:27Here I am so...
01:08:28very inappropriately crying.
01:08:30Oh, honey.
01:08:31It's all right.
01:08:35It's a shame, though.
01:08:36Since it's Christmas Eve.
01:08:38It is?
01:08:41I can't believe I didn't know that.
01:08:42That's not like me at all, either.
01:08:44Those are some pretty big tears you got there.
01:08:48Looks like heartache to me.
01:08:50Heartache?
01:08:51Do you have a pit aching right here in your heart?
01:08:58Is that what's making me cry?
01:09:01I've never felt this feeling before.
01:09:05Seems to me that's the cause.
01:09:09Do you play?
01:09:11A bit.
01:09:12Well, come on.
01:09:13No sense wallowing in all that.
01:09:17Okay.
01:09:21Well, well.
01:09:22Seems like you play more than just a little.
01:09:25I have always liked strategy.
01:09:32I just can't believe Michael would betray me like that.
01:09:35Why would he tell Gabriel everything was my fault behind my back?
01:09:39Why would he do that?
01:09:40Ah, betrayal.
01:09:42It's like losing your queen to someone who made you think they couldn't play.
01:09:46A move you never saw coming, but one that changes the game entirely.
01:09:53That's right.
01:09:54He changed the game entirely.
01:09:57Well, life does have a way of surprising us sometimes.
01:10:01I suppose so.
01:10:04Well, my girl, you are keeping me on my toes.
01:10:07Not something that happens very often, if I'm being honest.
01:10:12You should always be honest.
01:10:15Hmm.
01:10:16Isn't that the truth?
01:10:18But you know, sometimes things aren't black and white.
01:10:22In chess or in our lives, for that matter.
01:10:28I'm starting to realize that.
01:10:31Nothing like heartache to teach you that lesson.
01:10:35What is your name?
01:10:37You look kind of familiar.
01:10:42Um...
01:10:45I should go because it's Christmas Eve.
01:10:48Um, will you go too?
01:10:51Well, no.
01:10:52I'm waiting for a friend.
01:10:54I'm going to make some new Christmas memories this year.
01:10:59Well, Merry Christmas.
01:11:01Well, wait a second.
01:11:02You haven't even touched your hot chocolate.
01:11:06Oh, excuse me, dear.
01:11:08Merry Christmas.
01:11:13How are you?
01:11:14Oh!
01:11:15Well, it's good to see you.
01:11:17Good to see you.
01:11:18Good to see you.
01:11:52Good to see you.
01:12:39Monica, try to keep me down, won't you?
01:12:41Michael, what are you doing here?
01:12:42I don't know.
01:12:44Because I'm looking for some kind of divine intervention.
01:12:48Oh, it's a good thing we're in a church.
01:12:51I know.
01:12:54Why?
01:12:56Because if we were anywhere else, I would be giving you a piece of my mind right now.
01:13:01A piece of your mind?
01:13:03Now you were here to thank me.
01:13:06Thank you?
01:13:07Yes.
01:13:09You totally threw me off the cloud.
01:13:11I heard what you said to Gabriel.
01:13:13You said that I don't have what it takes anymore.
01:13:15I can't believe you would be so selfish.
01:13:17I'm so disappointed in you, Michael.
01:13:20Why would I thank you?
01:13:22Because I didn't say that.
01:13:23I took responsibility for everything.
01:13:26Took responsibility?
01:13:27For everything.
01:13:29And I gave up my wings, Monica.
01:13:34For you.
01:13:36What?
01:13:43I heard you in Gabriel's office, and you were right.
01:13:47It was the perfect first meeting story.
01:13:53It really was.
01:13:56I was just trying to salvage the mission.
01:14:01I was just trying to salvage us.
01:14:09I thought I heard you say you basically were happy to be rid of me.
01:14:13You definitely did not hear me say that, because I did not say that.
01:14:16I loved working with you.
01:14:21Loved?
01:14:23Mm-hmm.
01:14:26Look, I guess I was just trying to show you that I could measure up, and then it just,
01:14:31I got, I just couldn't do it.
01:14:36Sure.
01:14:37I mean, I suppose I was so busy trying to prove that my methods still work, that I lost sight
01:14:44of why we were doing this in the first place.
01:14:48Maybe that's why Cloud Command paired us, so we'd stop trying to prove something and just
01:14:56believe.
01:14:58I think you might be right.
01:15:02We probably should have had this conversation before we started working together.
01:15:06It's not exactly top-tier angel behavior, is it?
01:15:10And now Darcy's on the case.
01:15:12Yeah.
01:15:14But she's not you.
01:15:18She's not us.
01:15:22Do you think we still have time?
01:15:25I mean, the deadline's not until Christmas Day.
01:15:28Should we give it another try together?
01:15:30Yes.
01:15:31Yes, we should.
01:15:33But wait.
01:15:34There's one problem.
01:15:37I've only got one feather left.
01:15:40Well, then we better get this right.
01:15:54Oh, that smells like Christmas.
01:15:57Thank you, Nathan.
01:15:59And this.
01:16:01Something to say thank you for making this place feel like home.
01:16:06I never thought I'd feel that way again in my life.
01:16:12A queen for the queen.
01:16:16Nathan.
01:16:18I'm almost done my research.
01:16:21Apparently, silencing Polygalactron A's genes means we keep the needles.
01:16:27Who knew?
01:16:30Translation?
01:16:31I developed a Christmas tree that doesn't shed.
01:16:35My research.
01:16:36Oh.
01:16:37Isn't that a Christmas miracle?
01:16:39Now put that phone away.
01:16:44Okay.
01:16:46Woo!
01:16:48Daisy!
01:16:50Hi, Grandpa.
01:16:54That's your granddaughter?
01:16:55Yes.
01:16:56Here.
01:16:57Let me help.
01:16:58You will.
01:17:01Got it?
01:17:04You again.
01:17:05You again.
01:17:07The concert stage girl.
01:17:08Falling into Christmas tree guy.
01:17:10I was hoping that I'd run into you again.
01:17:13So am I.
01:17:18Shimmering shine.
01:17:20We did it.
01:17:22It's receiving of their love.
01:17:30I don't think we've been properly introduced.
01:17:33I'm Daisy Willoughby.
01:17:35Patrick, Glenn.
01:17:36The pleasure's all mine.
01:17:39I don't suppose you want to help me, uh, deliver Christmas gifts?
01:17:43Deliver presents on Christmas Day with the prettiest girl I think I've ever seen?
01:17:50I most certainly would.
01:17:53Oh, I didn't see that coming.
01:17:57I'm surprised.
01:17:58May I have this dance?
01:18:01Of course.
01:18:19Well, Michael, I think our vote here is complete.
01:18:35I need to go.
01:18:41Okay.
01:18:42One more.
01:18:51Monica.
01:18:54Where did you go?
01:18:55I've been looking for you.
01:18:55Are you okay?
01:18:57Yeah.
01:18:57I just wanted to make it official.
01:19:00Snowmobile.
01:19:08You got a good arm.
01:19:16Look, I have something to tell you, and I don't know how to explain it, but it's like, when I
01:19:19look at you and I'm around you, I get this feeling in my chest, and I don't know how to
01:19:22explain it, but it's like flutters and butterflies.
01:19:26No, I know, I know, I know, I know, I, I already know, because I have it too.
01:19:33Did you know?
01:19:35And I didn't think it could happen for us, as angels, but.
01:19:44You feel it?
01:19:46Yeah.
01:19:46Like.
01:19:47Fluttery.
01:19:48I know.
01:19:50What, what happened with me?
01:19:53I don't know.
01:19:54Gabriel.
01:19:55Hi.
01:19:56Okay, wow.
01:19:58Honestly, you two are adorable.
01:20:00I, hugely irresponsible.
01:20:03But, to my point, you saved Christmas.
01:20:06You did it.
01:20:07More importantly, you saved yourselves.
01:20:10What do you mean?
01:20:11Daisy and Patrick were the match on paper.
01:20:13Sure.
01:20:14But, uh, you two, you're the match that mattered for us all.
01:20:19Wait, what?
01:20:20Yeah, we still don't know what you mean.
01:20:22Yes, I am the boss.
01:20:24Well, I'm still an angel.
01:20:26And, yes, you two were my greatest challenge, dare I say.
01:20:30But, just as you two were successful with Daisy and Patrick, I was successful with you two.
01:20:40Monica, you trusted someone else to take the lead for the first time.
01:20:43And you dropped your guard, even when you were unsure.
01:20:46Michael, you gave up your ways.
01:20:49You stopped bathing in the limelight and even shined it on someone who mattered more.
01:20:54Together, you two reminded us that angels don't just guide soul nets.
01:20:59Sometimes they become them.
01:21:07So, guess what?
01:21:09Your mission's over.
01:21:10You're both being promoted to the best gig of all.
01:21:14A life of love.
01:21:28You look beautiful.
01:21:34I think this is where I ask you to dance.
01:21:43Do you know how I've longed to hear those words?
01:21:48587 years, I believe.
01:21:52I'm so glad you're the one who's asking me.
01:21:55I'm so glad you're the one who's asking me.
01:22:07I'm so glad you're the one who's asking me.
01:22:37Two hearts.
01:22:41Meeting is one.
01:23:00That was nice.
01:23:01Yeah, that was nice.
01:23:04Can we do that again?
01:23:06Mm-hmm.
01:23:39Yeah, that was nice.
