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

00:13:03hello uh-huh yeah wow okay yeah that's right all ready
00:13:19well everyone it appears the rumors of downsizing are true uh cloud command is considering merging us
00:13:42one last kick in the old can and they would like to try something different and that means that this
00:13:52year Michael and Monica you'll be working together on this one what
00:13:58no no no no no no no no no no times are changing all across cloud command we're seeing it
00:14:05that that
00:14:06means we need to evolve and if cloud command says you two are working together you two are working
00:14:12together our department depends on it so Michael drop all your other matches you two are a team on this
00:14:20self-match
00:14:21self-match
00:14:24so
00:14:51What are you doing here?
00:14:52Oh, I was just following her.
00:14:54I got some great intel.
00:14:55Well, don't sneak up on me like that again.
00:14:57It's annoying.
00:14:58Okay.
00:14:59Sorry.
00:15:00Look, I know you disagree with some of my methods
00:15:02and that you're a little bit sensitive.
00:15:03I'm not sensitive.
00:15:04But I think this could be great as a matchmaking team.
00:15:07Oh, you do, do you?
00:15:08I do.
00:15:11Where'd she go?
00:15:13There she is.
00:15:18Look who just came in.
00:15:20He's right behind her.
00:15:21All I'm saying is we put our heads together and I think we'd have a lot of fun.
00:15:27Look, not to be disrespectful, Michael, but I know how to do this job.
00:15:31Okay?
00:15:32So just, you can relax and watch the pros at work.
00:15:36Okay.
00:15:38Wait, you're not doing a cliché café collusion, are you?
00:15:40Uh, you know some things are called a cliché because they work perfectly every time.
00:15:44Let me focus.
00:15:45I'm trying to save the Department of Crisp's connections.
00:15:49Okay.
00:15:50But you know this isn't gonna work, right?
00:15:51It's gonna work.
00:15:52But it's not.
00:15:54Michael, I have been using the Brute Awakening method for decades.
00:15:57Oh, I know.
00:15:59What's that supposed to mean?
00:16:01Nothing.
00:16:02Oh, looky, looky.
00:16:04Hi.
00:16:05Hi.
00:16:05Yes, yes.
00:16:06I am so sorry I missed your call.
00:16:09Yeah, no, no.
00:16:10I'm just grabbing a coffee and some...
00:16:12I'm just gonna step outside.
00:16:14See?
00:16:14You distracted me.
00:16:16Okay.
00:16:17You could have been the most focused angel in the world and that would not have worked.
00:16:21Why does this keep happening to me?
00:16:24Mmm.
00:16:25Hot chocolate.
00:16:26What are you doing?
00:16:28I am handing you a cup of melt-in-your-mouth goodness.
00:16:34Angels don't drink hot chocolate.
00:16:36Have you...
00:16:37Have you really never read the Hark?
00:16:38Yeah, Skim did.
00:16:40Actually, there's a rumor that it's being revised.
00:16:41I'm just gonna wait for the next draft.
00:16:42Where did you hear that?
00:16:43Around the water cooler.
00:16:46Michael, gossip is not very angelic.
00:16:49And neither is hot chocolate.
00:16:50Wait.
00:16:51Sorry.
00:16:52Are you telling me you've never tried earth hot chocolate?
00:16:54Well, I've never tried any hot chocolate.
00:16:57The heart clearly states that we keep our actions pure and selfless.
00:17:01We're only on earth to help connect our soulmates.
00:17:04We are angels with purpose.
00:17:06That purpose is not to have hot chocolate.
00:17:09Wow, you are missing out my fine-feathered friend.
00:17:12No.
00:17:13Okay, I just...
00:17:14I need to think and focus on another way to bring them together.
00:17:18Everyone knows that the best connections come from thoughtful, organized gestures.
00:17:22Do they?
00:17:24Yes, they do.
00:17:28Michael, I'm 587 years old.
00:17:31I've been doing this job for a little while.
00:17:34I think I know a thing or two.
00:17:36You're just a kid.
00:17:37What are you?
00:17:38Ninety-six?
00:17:40Ninety-seven.
00:17:41Yes, exactly.
00:17:42I don't need your help.
00:17:44But I think you kind of do.
00:17:45I mean, I've made matches that you've never made.
00:17:47Mine are just a little more...
00:17:48Okay.
00:17:50I don't want to have to remind you here, but I think you do remember that I am the one
00:17:54that matched the celebrity couple.
00:17:57Oh, that's right.
00:17:58Michael, the Hollywood angel.
00:18:01Now, remind me.
00:18:02How did that turn out?
00:18:03Oh, that's right.
00:18:04They broke up.
00:18:05Twice.
00:18:06But I did get them together.
00:18:08Twice.
00:18:09And married, nonetheless.
00:18:10There is something to be said about that, and you're probably wondering, but how did you do it?
00:18:13Well, my Christmas connection was fun and spontaneous.
00:18:16Okay, we get it.
00:18:17You're fun and spontaneous.
00:18:18It's enough.
00:18:20Fine.
00:18:20I'll tell you what.
00:18:22I will try your way.
00:18:23But you, you have to take a sip of hot chocolate.
00:18:26I am not drinking that.
00:18:31You have whipped cream on your face.
00:18:33I do?
00:18:34Yes.
00:18:36Oh, you got it?
00:18:46Listen, will you please just let me take the lead on this?
00:18:48Mm-hmm.
00:18:49I'm telling you they need to connect over something meaningful, or there's just going to be a repeat of your
00:18:54Hollywood couple debacle.
00:18:55Okay.
00:18:56I'm just saying I will take the lead on this when it inevitably fails.
00:18:59It's not going to fail.
00:19:00But if it does fail?
00:19:01It's not going to fail.
00:19:02But if it does fail?
00:19:03Deal?
00:19:03Deal.
00:19:04Great.
00:19:05Hi, guys.
00:19:06Mirabelle.
00:19:07It's so good to see you.
00:19:07You brought Mirabelle?
00:19:08Of course.
00:19:09Yeah.
00:19:09Hope I'm not intruding, but thanks for having me.
00:19:12Always love helping Monica on a matchup.
00:19:15Okay.
00:19:15Let's do this.
00:19:16Wait, wait, wait.
00:19:17What's going on here?
00:19:18Are you doing a cute puppy pairing?
00:19:19Yes.
00:19:20It is a tried and true method of creating a deep soul connection.
00:19:23Two people bonding over the care and protection of an animal in need.
00:19:27It brings out the most beautiful parts of the tender hearts.
00:19:29Yeah.
00:19:30Historically, I would agree with you.
00:19:31But you do know that Patrick is allergic to dogs.
00:19:34Yes.
00:19:36Uh, how allergic is he?
00:19:39EpiPen in his pocket allergic.
00:19:41No!
00:19:43It was supposed to be a kitten booth.
00:19:44But, you know, with the budget cuts and the TCC, I had to go with puppies.
00:19:48Wait, there was a price difference?
00:19:49Yes.
00:19:50Never mind the specifics.
00:19:51We have a Noelle 911.
00:19:53I think I lost the puppy.
00:19:55No.
00:19:56No, no, no.
00:19:57This is going to degreel everything.
00:19:58Okay, just calm down.
00:19:59Calm down.
00:20:00Everything is going to be fine.
00:20:01How can you say that?
00:20:02You're glad that this happened.
00:20:03Why would I be glad this happened?
00:20:04Because you said the puppy pairing was a bad idea.
00:20:06Well, it is a bad idea.
00:20:07But I don't want to see a puppy going missing or you'd be all stressed out.
00:20:11Oh.
00:20:13Well, thank you.
00:20:14That's very nice.
00:20:14You're welcome.
00:20:15I think it went that way.
00:20:23Is he in here?
00:20:24He's not here.
00:20:25His name is Clarence.
00:20:26Clarence, you named the Christmas puppy?
00:20:29Of course.
00:20:30Interesting.
00:20:31I believe that connections grow in all spaces based on the energy and effort that you've
00:20:36put in.
00:20:36And that applies to magical puppies too.
00:20:38I've never thought about it like that.
00:20:40I think I'm ridiculous.
00:20:42I do think you're ridiculous.
00:20:43But I thought about this.
00:20:45It actually makes sense.
00:20:46In order to create a connection, you need to have a connection to it.
00:20:50That's what you mean, right?
00:20:51That's exactly what I mean.
00:20:53Well, good.
00:20:59Oh, gosh.
00:21:01Oh, no, no.
00:21:01Get it away.
00:21:02Get it away.

00:21:07Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:21:09Shoo, shoo, shoo.

00:21:13Oh.
00:21:13Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
00:21:14She's gonna help him.
00:21:18I need a tissue.
00:21:19I need a tissue, please.
00:21:20Oh, no.
00:21:20Be careful.

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 and the other tender heart alone
00:22:25fostering a puppy?
00:22:38This is not two tender hearts closer to becoming soul mates.
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.
00:22:53Also, there's Mirabelle.
00:22:54You 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 on the status of all of our successful matches.
00:23:16And right now, we have none.
00:23:19So get it together, you two, because I do not want to be sharing an office with Q, but you
00:23:23hearing me?
00:23:23Ugh.
00:23:24Those bows and arrows?
00:23:26Together.
00:23:27A team.
00:23:30Fine.
00:23:31Fine.
00:23:32Fine.
00:23:33Fine.
00:23:37Fine.
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.
00:23:50Never in my centuries of the DCC have I ever been reprimanded until now.
00:23:56My work as a Christmas connection angel is a disaster.
00:23:59What?
00:24:01A rough start, sure.
00:24:03But, I mean, we're not cupids.
00:24:05The 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.
00:24:22It is a top-tier gig.
00:24:23The matches are already made, but we're there to just nudge them along.
00:24:26It's not that hard.
00:24:28Did you miss the part where Patrick was scalded while having an allergy attack?
00:24:35A minor detail.
00:24:37Look.
00:24:38Here's the thing.
00:24:39Is we can't continue arguing because 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 a more angelic way?
00:24:47You know?
00:24:47Wings together.
00:24:48One mission.
00:24:50You and I.
00:24:51What do you say?
00:24:51Hmm.
00:24:52No.
00:24:53Okay.
00:25:06What are you doing?
00:25:07We're wreath making.
00:25:09And I'm fixing this one because it's practically naked.
00:25:11It needs to have a bow and people are watching.
00:25:15What are you talking about?
00:25:17What?
00:25:18Pine cones.
00:25:19Holly.
00:25:20Really?
00:25:20Those are just the bones.
00:25:21But the bow.
00:25:22The bow.
00:25:23I mean, that's the soul of the wreath.
00:25:27You 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, I paired up.
00:25:37They actually connected over 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 to romance pipeline.
00:25:45The sparks were flying, if you know what I mean.
00:25:47Mm-hmm.
00:25:48How do you know that?
00:25:50Because I might have been observing a little more closely than 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, is we need to get in the mind of the tender hearts
00:26:04and do the things the tender hearts do, like wreath making.
00:26:11Trust me.
00:26:11It helps.
00:26:13Also, trust me, it won't be fun.
00:26:14In fact, this can be sewn as a rule.
00:26:17You're very serious about this.
00:26:19Only about important things, like 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...
00:26:32It has character.
00:26:36Yeah.
00:26:39Okay.
00:26:41So...
00:26:42What now?
00:26:44Uh, uh, now we, uh, we 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.
00:26:56Angel's honor.
00:26:58Fine.
00:27:10So, what are we doing here?
00:27:12Well, we need to figure out what 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 and spends time with 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, it 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.
00:27:49Wait.
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.
00:28:00Do you 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 to 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 to your online world
00:28:30and keeping too little for yourself out 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 that you talk to me about.
00:28:43Oh, speaking of which, my algorithm keeps bringing up this dance.
00:28:46It's called the Christmas Foxtrot.
00:28:49My phone must have heard us talking about something last time I was here.
00:28:52Anyhow, I spent hours watching 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 in heels and a petticoat doing the Foxtrot.
00:29:06Come on.
00:29:07Stand up.
00:29:08What?
00:29:08No, no, no, no, no.
00:29:10I just...
00:29:10Don't worry.
00:29:11I'll lead.
00:29:13Boy, you better.
00:29:15All right.
00:29:16Just lift this up here.
00:29:16Mm-hmm.
00:29:18Oh.
00:29:18Slow.
00:29:19Quick.
00:29:20Quick.
00:29:21Slow.
00:29:23Slow.
00:29:24All right.
00:29:25Slow.
00:29:26Slow.
00:29:27Quick.
00:29:28All right.
00:29:29Let me try.
00:29:30I always loved watching the Tender Hearts dance.
00:29:36It's the one thing I always thought looked so nice.
00:29:40Wait.
00:29:41Are you telling me you haven't tried dancing either?
00:29:45Well, I mean, sure, by myself at a DCC Christmas party, but never with someone like that.
00:29:53I mean...
00:29:56Have you?
00:29:59I mean...
00:30:01Well, 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...
00:30:20It just looks so harmless.
00:30:22Maybe an angel wouldn't be sent to the mail room for dancing.
00:30:28No.
00:30:29No.
00:30:30We were lucky enough to be born angels.
00:30:36It's our purpose.
00:30:38We're destined.
00:30:39Our entire existence is 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 that Patrick's Achille Hill is the cha-cha.
00:31:03I think it's the foxtrot.
00:31:06Whatever.
00:31:08Okay.
00:31:09Let's go.
00:31:15I can't believe we'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 because of my book deadline.
00:31:33I still can't believe what 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 were writing a book about love, but you know nothing about it.
00:31:44That is not true.
00:31:46I seem to remember your last serious relationship being in high school.
00:31:49Okay, well, it was, but writing does not need to be based on experience.
00:31:53Imagination is just as powerful.
00:31:55Plus, it's about senior citizens' story of love.
00:31:58My grandpa's idea, actually.
00:32:00Oh, well, that's cute.
00:32:02Well, in any case, I'm just glad you moved back home.
00:32:04Even though I only see you once 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 to convince my grandpa to warm up to the idea of moving into that retirement
00:32:18residence.
00:32:19Well, I'm sure if you love it, he will too.
00:32:22Yeah.
00:32:22Between work and time with my grandpa, I feel like I hardly have time to breathe.
00:32:26So tell me why you're fostering a puppy.
00:32:28Fair point.
00:32:35So she's shopping with a friend.
00:32:37We already know that Daisy's overworked.
00:32:38Mm-hmm, yeah.
00:32:39You know, it's the one thing I love about these tender hearts is they say everything they're feeling.
00:32:43We already know all of this.
00:32:45Why are we here?
00:32:46We are here to spread a little joy and have some fun.
00:32:51Don't worry, not you.
00:32:53Daisy and Patrick.
00:32:54You're bringing Patrick here?
00:32:55Yeah.
00:32:56Trust me.
00:32:58I don't.
00:32:59Well, you should.
00:33:11I can't believe you're setting up a lab match without any preparation.
00:33:14Come on, just have some faith.
00:33:17Oh, Patrick, Daisy, you're so close to your soulmates.
00:33:21Just put your phone down.
00:33:23No.
00:33:24You know, it just calls for a little ninja star.
00:33:30One second.
00:33:32Hello?
00:33:34Hi, Mum.
00:33:35What do you mean you can't put up the Christmas tree?
00:33:38You got a nine-foot tree?
00:33:40Why?
00:33:41Okay.
00:33:42Okay.
00:33:43Stop.
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 mum from 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?
00:34:01Patrick.
00:34:02Michael, what are you doing?
00:34:04What's it look like I'm doing?
00:34:06It's a Christmas flash mob!
00:34:09Christmas flash mob?
00:34:10Christmas flash mob.
00:34:11What's the one thing we learned about Patrick?
00:34:13It's that he loves to 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 from your phones.
00:34:24Oh, they're so close.
00:34:27Come on.
00:34:30Patrick doesn't look like he's enjoying us.
00:34:31Uh-huh.
00:34:32Patrick doesn't look like he's enjoying us.
00:34:35Yeah.
00:34:37Okay.
00:34:42No.
00:34:43If I could...
00:34:45Guys, uh...
00:34:47Yeah.
00:34:50No.
00:34:52Dance them together.
00:34:54That's not a thing.
00:34:56It is now.
00:35:00Hey, hey, Al.
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.
00:35:33Oh!
00:35:47Where'd he 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, uh, oh!
00:36:26You know, Christmas flash mob was a great idea.
00:36:32It really was. Right? I thought it was good. I mean, who doesn't like dancing? Right? I mean, what is
00:36:38this place? Footloose?
00:36:40What's Footloose?
00:36:42Footloose, the movie, Kevin Bacon.
00:36:45It was very impactful cinema. You don't know it?
00:36:48Okay. Well, 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 of that, but I have
00:37:00never seen a Christmas flash mob. That was a first.
00:37:03It was pretty cool, right? I mean, you gotta admit, it was pretty cool. And I guess that's what I'm
00:37:09trying to say is, it's important sometimes to put yourself into their glitter-covered, holiday-filled shoes. It can be
00:37:17fun.
00:37:18They do like their holiday shoes. They do. And their holiday sweaters. So cute. They really do. Okay, why don't
00:37:24we try going back to basics?
00:37:29Fine. Let's go back to basics. Let me take scorch pillows.
00:37:37And do you like this retirement residence? Nice people, you say?
00:37:41Very nice people, Grandad. In fact, some of them I plan to interview for my book, Senior Love Match.
00:37:46Is that right? It is. It's actually really sweet, Grandad. From all the research that I've done, I've heard that
00:37:53falling in love in your 70s is just as 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? At the seniors' residence, they said that you can do a trial run, so
00:38:07you can sleep there for a few nights if you like it.
00:38:10How's the food?
00:38:12The food is good. I think.
00:38:18Oh, this is the one. I love it.
00:38:22She's a beaut, all right.
00:38:24Listen, listen. I'm at the tree farm now. I'm not letting you get another artificial tree.
00:38:29No, it doesn't look like they have any, Sitka. Just blue spruce.
00:38:33I know, I know. I clearly chose the wrong tree farm.
00:38:37Oh, there's one.
00:38:45Oh, excuse me. So sorry.
00:38:47Did you want this tree?
00:38:49I did, but it's okay. I'm sure that I could find another Sitka.
00:38:54Sitka?
00:38:54Uh, yes, yes. That's just the genus of Christmas tree that I'm looking for.
00:38:57Oh, I know what a Sitka is. I'm just surprised that someone else prefers a Sitka over a blue spruce.
00:39:03You too?
00:39:04Yeah. Yeah, my granddad is a horticulturist, so tree sap runs in my blood.
00:39:09Oh, that must be sticky.
00:39:14See? See? See? See? This 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. They 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 see
00:39:33that.
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.
00:39:41Hey there, folks. Need a hand with anything?
00:39:43Ahem. No.
00:39:44No.
00:39:45We're good. You sure?
00:39:46Yeah.
00:39:47Yep.
00:39:47Well, you know you're under the mistletoe, right?
00:39:51It's...
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.
00:40:07It's kind of bad luck to just hang out under the mistletoe without any kissing.
00:40:11No, no. No, it doesn't count. We're fine. Thank you.
00:40:15Here's the thing, okay? So, these mistletoe moments, they're kind of sort of part of my job.
00:40:20I take a picture of the kiss, we put it online, get some oohs, some uhs, it gets shared around.
00:40:25We go viral, but, 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, it's almost Christmas, but my mom's gonna kill me if I do that, and it's...
00:40:36Yeah, okay, okay, okay, okay, yeah, yes, yes, we will do the kiss.
00:40:40We will.
00:40:41We can't be responsible for a tender heart being fired at Christmas.
00:40:44Yes.
00:40:45You're right.
00:40:48We'll do the kissing.
00:40:50Mm-hmm, yeah.
00:40:51Yeah, we'll do the, the, the kissing.
00:40:53Viral.
00:40:54Okay.
00:40:55Just take the picture.
00:40:56Yeah.
00:40:56Okay, and...
00:41:05Excuse me there, lovebirds.
00:41:07Hey!
00:41:08Patrick!
00:41:09No!
00:41:09Oh!
00:41:10We missed him!
00:41:10We lost him!
00:41:12Ah!
00:41:12Biscuits!
00:41:13Ugh!
00:41:13We need to get back and regroup.
00:41:20Hello?
00:41:29There you are.
00:41:31I'm so excited, I'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.
00:41:39Oh.
00:41:40Him, right.
00:41:40Anyways, things are going so smoothly, you 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.
00:42:12Well, how is having a partner?
00:42:14Is Michael helping at all?
00:42:15No.
00:42:15No.
00:42:16He'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?
00:42:25Yes.
00:42:26And?
00:42:28And he just chooses not to follow the Hark and he doesn't even get reprimanded for it.
00:42:32Annika, you just love rules.
00:42:35They make you feel like you're always going to be successful.
00:42:38But some people like to march to their own beat.
00:42:41And the Hark is just a guideline.
00:42:42I 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.
00:42:50Times 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.
00:42:58Maybe consider.
00:42:59You might have a point.
00:43:01Maybe.
00:43:02See how you work together as a team.
00:43:05See how you feel.
00:43:08It's the soul matches that matter.
00:43:10Not my feelings.
00:43:12I'm just saying try the hot chocolate.
00:43:15It could be delicious.
00:43:18Monica.
00:43:19Mirabelle.
00:43:19Hi.
00:43:20Listen.
00:43:21Was 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.
00:43:31Yes.
00:43:32Darcy.
00:43:32Of course you can borrow.
00:43:34A 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.
00:43:59You're a good friend.
00:44:10You're a good friend.
00:44:14Okay.
00:44:23Rat.
00:44:24Oh.
00:44:26Rat.
00:44:27Oh.
00:44:28Excuse me.
00:44:29I 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 and getting some exercise.
00:44:53Wow.
00:44:54Didn't picture you as a star breather.
00:44:57Oh, really?
00:44:58Why?
00:44:59Because I like Tenderheart movies?
00:45:01No, 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.
00:45:21Home.
00:45:22Home?
00:45:23Yeah.
00:45:25It, this is just, it's been a really hard decade for me.
00:45:28Right.
00:45:29A Christmas spirit used to help Christmas matches go so smoothly and now I just don't know what is wrong
00:45:36with the Tenderhearts anymore.
00:45:38Cell phones, social media, scrolling, reels, their heads down, you know.
00:45:45So 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.
00:46:03Right.
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 mail room for straying outside of the heart is because I
00:46:15told Gabriel years ago that if I was to make good connections, I need to understand 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, nothing.
00:46:34Thank 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.
00:46:56Just try, try it.
00:46:59Okay.
00:47:00It's the heart to heart of it.
00:47:01You know how when they're so close and it just looks so soft and...
00:47:06Serene?
00:47:09Like, in the times of the grand ballrooms, when, when they would slow dance, everything just looks so...
00:47:18Glimmery.
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?
00:47:33Or is that a silly question because you've just done well?
00:47:36Are you kidding me?
00:47:37There are so many things I haven't done.
00:47:40Especially...
00:47:40Like 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?
00:47:54Snowball fight?
00:47:55It's on my bucket list.
00:47:56It just looks so fun.
00:47:57That swirl of white chaos, the 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, should, should we try again?
00:48:28More 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.
00:48:47Actually...
00:48:51I want to show you something.
00:48:54Okay.
00:49:05Where are we?
00:49:06Somewhere special.
00:49:07Okay.
00:49:08I really appreciated you telling me why you haven't been demoted for not following the Hark.
00:49:13So I wanted to share this with you.
00:49:17Okay.
00:49:18This 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.
00:49:36That's why Patrick and Daisy's match is so...
00:49:40Important 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?
00:50:14I mean, yeah.
00:50:16Of course I'm checking on them.
00:50:18Kinda.
00:50:19Actually, not really.
00:50:22Okay, so what do we do after the sparkle of Christmas connection wears off?
00:50:28Well, traditionally the ones that last have a different type of connection.
00:50:34You know?
00:50:36A kind of layered nuance that's essential.
00:50:44I 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, it'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. What do you want to do next?
00:52:21I thought you'd never ask.
00:52:22There is no outside the window.
00:52:26But it makes me feel so warm.
00:52:29Gives 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.
00:52:38And 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 gotta confess.
00:52:51This season feels like magic.
00:52:54I forgot all of the sadness.
00:52:58Cause at Christmas, everything gets better.
00:53:04And the past can also be a present.
00:53:09Oh, the people celebrate together.
00:53:13All mistakes don't matter for a day.
00:53:16I wish for Christmas every day.
00:53:22Every day.
00:53:33Monica, Michael, imagine my surprise to hear that you two are working so well together that you had time for
00:53:40a near kiss under the mistletoe there on Earth.
00:53:45We were working hard, sir.
00:53:48There was a tender heart and he was gonna 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? They 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 they are now.
00:54:15Wait, is this more urgent than downsizing?
00:54:18Yes, more urgent than downsizing because 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.
00:54:32Is.
00:54:33Lost.
00:54:36When you say all is lost, you mean...
00:54:37They'll never find their way back to each other ever again.
00:54:41That's why they call it all is lost, Michael.
00:54:43So it's pretty bad, then.
00:54:45You could see that.
00:54:46In my hundreds of years as an angel, I've only ever seen it happen a few times, and consequences were
00:54:51dire.
00:54:52This is similar.
00:54:54Sir, I 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.
00:55:10There'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 gonna be here.
00:55:21Oh.
00:55:21I'm 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 gonna 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.
00:55:37But I was expecting something different.
00:55:40Point I'm trying to make is,
00:55:41I'm happy my granddaughter had me come,
00:55:44and test run the place, so to speak.
00:55:45Oh, so you think you move in then?
00:55:47I do.
00:55:49Staff even said they have a room available,
00:55:51and 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
00:56:00you knew a thing or two about chess.
00:56:01Oh, just a little.
00:56:02I hope I can give you enough of a challenge
00:56:04to 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
00:56:19trying to be here for me,
00:56:21that I fear he forgets to be happy for himself sometimes.
00:56:24Yeah.
00:56:25Mike Daisy is the same.
00:56:27Always writing stories,
00:56:28heading to a book or iPad,
00:56:30or 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,
00:56:42I'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,
00:57:11and I test alternate paths.
00:57:13Are 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,
00:57:22even 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,
00:57:31they keep slipping past each other.
00:57:33As they're working, they're absent-minded,
00:57:35they're clumsy,
00:57:35they've got their heads down in their phones.
00:57:39Wait.
00:57:40Nathan and Elaine.
00:57:42They 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.
00:58:06Let'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.
00:58:28Set-ups.
00:58:29One guy thought a bag of gummy bears counted as dinner.
00:58:32Another said I was wife material,
00:58:35but not vacation material.
00:58:37Oh, honey.
00:58:38I know you think I've just been hiding from love,
00:58:41but the truth is I just haven't found anyone 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 waiting 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.
00:59:31I'm so glad you decided to come, Patrick.
00:59:34I know that you've been buried in research.
00:59:35I'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 gonna 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.
01:00:23Oh.
01:00:24Don'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.
01:00:48All right.
01:00:49What?
01:00:50Elaine, what are you doing?
01:00:51Oh, they called your name, sweetheart.
01:00:53No.
01:00:53Don't be shy.
01:00:54Go ahead.
01:00:54Go, go.
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.
01:01:07We have to do something.
01:01:09What are we gonna do?
01:01:10We are about to do something.
01:01:12Uh, come on.
01:01:13Come 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...
01:01:27We have the same names as the other Daisy and Patrick.
01:01:30We should...
01:01:30We should have a du...
01:01:31We should have a duet.
01:01:33How about we have them come up?
01:01:35Patrick.
01:01:35Patrick.
01:01:36Daisy.
01:01:37Patrick.
01:01:38Daisy.
01:01:39Patrick.
01:01:40Daisy.
01:01:41Patrick.
01:01:41No, I don't wanna...
01:01:43Patrick.
01:01:44Hey.
01:01:45Patrick.
01:01:46Daisy.
01:01:47Patrick.
01:01:49Patrick.
01:01:49Daisy.
01:01:51Right on.
01:01:52Get on up here, you guys.
01:01:53Hi.
01:01:53Daisy.
01:01:55Patrick.
01:01:55All right.
01:01:55Nice to meet you.
01:01:56Let's sing a festive song.
01:01:59All right.
01:01:59Let's fa-la-la our way into this, everybody.
01:02:07One, two, three, four.
01:02:10Take the whole script.
01:02:12Bows of holly.
01:02:13Fa-la-la-la-la.
01:02:15Fa-la-la-la-la.
01:02:17Tis the season to be jolly.
01:02:21La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la la.
01:02:25Fa-la-la-la-la.
01:02:26Caught we now our gay apparel.
01:02:29La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.
01:02:33Say you're the ancient, you'll die, Carol
01:02:37La la la la la la la la la
01:02:41Whoa!
01:02:45Oh my gosh.
01:03:00Everybody'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, we never should have gone up there.
01:03:07Okay, let's not be so hard on ourselves.
01:03:08I think everything's gonna 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.
01:03:19Cloudman 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.
01:03:30Sir, if I may.
01:03:31I take responsibility.
01:03:35No.
01:03:36I 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.
01:03:46It wasn't even really a lie lie.
01:03:49It was more of a feather-sized fib, 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, but you're under review.
01:04:00You're excused.
01:04:02No, no, no, no, wait.
01:04:03No, Michael.
01:04:05It's okay, really.
01:04:09We really did get so close.
01:04:12That's gotta count for something.
01:04:14And I do think that it would have been the perfect
01:04:16first meeting Christmas love story.
01:04:44You're right.
01:04:49Some angels just don't have what it takes to make a true soul connection.
01:05:00I am really going to miss having my wings.
01:05:08Michael, go 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 making.
01:05:16Giving up your wings so that she can keep hers?
01:05:18Look, she's been around for hundreds of years, and I show up, and I mess everything up.
01:05:23And if giving up my wings means giving people the 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, so you can pop down to earth if you need
01:05:40to.
01:05:43But just remember, now that you're without your wings, once you use up those two feathers,
01:05:47you can't go back to earth, so use them wisely.
01:05:51Right.
01:05:54Thank you, Gabriel.
01:06:03And good luck with Patrick and Daisy.
01:06:05I hope Darcy can put them together, because they're a very, very special couple.
01:06:16Aren't they all?
01:06:25Oh.
01:06:30Oh.
01:06:33Oh.
01:06:36Oh.
01:06:38Oh.
01:06:39Oh.
01:06:40Oh.
01:06:43Oh.
01:06:53Oh.
01:07:05I don't know.
01:07:36Oh, hey.
01:07:37Hi, could I get a...
01:07:40Uh...
01:07:41Hot 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.
01:08:23I'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?
01:08:54Right 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 pause.
01:09:09Do you play?
01:09:11A bit.
01:09:13Well, come on.
01:09:13No sense wallowing in all that.
01:09:17Okay.
01:09:21Well, well.
01:09:23Seems like you play more than just a little.
01:09:26I 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, isn'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.
01:10:44Um, I should go because it's Christmas Eve.
01:10:49Um, will you go too?
01:10:51Well, no, I'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, well, it's good to see you.
01:11:17Good to see you.
01:11:18Good to see you.
01:11:52Good to see you.
01:12:23Oh, well.
01:12:39Monica, try to keep me down, would ya?
01:12:41Michael, what are you doing here?
01:12:42I don't know.
01:12:44Cause 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.
01:13:35What?
01:13:41You were right.
01:13:43I heard you in Gabriel's office and you were right.
01:13:47It was the perfect first meeting story.
01:13:53I 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?
01:14:24Mm-hmm.
01:14:26Look.
01:14:27I guess I was just trying to show you that I could measure up and then it just, I can't.
01:14:33I 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.
01:14:51So we'd stop trying to prove something and just believe.
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. Thank you, Nathan.
01:15:59And this.
01:16:01Something to say thank you for making this place feel like cold.
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.
01:16:28Who knew?
01:16:30Translation?
01:16:31I developed a Christmas tree that doesn't shed.
01:16:35My research.
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, let me help.
01:16:58You will.
01:17:01Got it?
01:17:04You again.
01:17:05You again.
01:17:06The 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 was I.
01:17:18Shimmering shine.
01:17:20We did it.
01:17:22It's the ceiling of their love.
01:17:31I don't think we've been properly introduced.
01:17:33I'm, uh, Daisy Willoughby.
01:17:35Patrick-Len.
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.
01:17:54Oh, I didn't see that coming.
01:17:56Hmm.
01:17:57Of surprise.
01:17:58May I have this dance?
01:18:01Of course.
01:18:19Well, Michael.
01:18:22I think our vote here is complete.
01:18:26Oh.
01:18:27Here.
01:18:28Here.
01:18:35I need to go.
01:18:40Hmm.
01:18:41Okay.
01:18:42One more.
01:18:51Monica!
01:18:54Where did you go?
01:18:54I've been looking for you, are you okay?
01:18:57Yeah, I just wanted to make it official.
01:19:00Snowball, bye!
01:19:08You got a good arm!
01:19:16Look, I have something to tell you
01:19:17and I don't know how to explain it,
01:19:18but it's like when I look at you and I'm around you,
01:19:20I get this feeling in my chest
01:19:22and I don't know how to explain it,
01:19:23but it's like flutters and butterflies.
01:19:26No, I know, I know.
01:19:28I already know because I have it too.
01:19:33You do know?
01:19:35And I didn't think it could happen for us,
01:19:40as angels, but...
01:19:44You feel it?
01:19:46Yeah.
01:19:46Like...
01:19:47Fluttery.
01:19:48I know.
01:19:50What happened with me?
01:19:52I don't know.
01:19:54Gabriel!
01:19:55Hi.
01:19:56Okay.
01:19:57Wow.
01:19:58Honestly, you two are adorable.
01:20:01Hugely irresponsible.
01:20:03But to my point, you saved Christmas.
01:20:06You did it!
01:20:07Yeah.
01:20:07More importantly, you saved yourselves.
01:20:10What do you mean?
01:20:11Daisy and Patrick were the match on paper, sure.
01:20:14But you two,
01:20:16you're the match that mattered for us all.
01:20:19Wait, what?
01:20:21Yeah, 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.
01:20:31But just as you two were successful with Daisy and Patrick,
01:20:36I 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 soulmates.
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.
01:21:34I 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.
01:21:54I believe it is.
01:21:56I believe.
01:21:59Oh, my God.
01:22:36Two hearts.
01:22:40Meeting is one.
01:23:00That was nice.
01:23:01Yeah, that was nice.
01:23:04Can we do that again?
01:23:06Mm-hmm.
01:23:07Yeah, that was nice.
01:23:44See you again next week.
01:23:44Oh, my God.
01:23:59There you go.
