[00:00:29]That's Stupid headstone.

[00:00:36]>> Hey, can I have a minute? Of course.

[00:00:40]Happy birthday, Dad.

[00:00:52]I'm moving back home.

[00:00:55]Did mom tell you?

[00:00:58]I know she feels really bad about it and she shouldn't. It's just I just want to take care of her, of everyone, like you did.

[00:01:15]Love you D.

[00:01:41]feet.

[00:01:43]But it's worth the tops of these mountain peaks.

[00:01:48]Sleeping on the stars so bright that I can't sleep tonight.

[00:01:58]But I love any view that's with you.

[00:02:06]I love any Shoot.

[00:02:14]>> Mayor, did you not guess up? Well, I thought we were going to make it. I mean, look how close we are. Oh, >> well, lucky you. You only have to push it two blocks then.

[00:02:21]>> Ooh, see, I would. I would love to do that. However, >> it's not my fault you wear sensible shoes.

[00:02:29]>> I do not wear sensible shoes.

[00:02:31]>> Oh, okay. I do wear sensible shoes, but when you say it like that, I sound like a grandma.

[00:02:34]>> Well, if the shoe fits, >> you owe me.

[00:02:38]Welcome home.

[00:02:47]>> Long lost roads.

[00:02:53]>> Oh. Oh, look.

[00:02:56]>> Want some help, >> Brandon? Thank goodness.

[00:02:58]>> Impeccable climbing as usual.

[00:03:00]>> Oh, yeah.

[00:03:01]>> You know, it seems like you're always having to rescue us. And by us, I mean mayor.

[00:03:05]>> Hey, >> I don't mind. It's on my way.

[00:03:08]>> Oh, look at that. We're moving.

[00:03:12]>> You're a lot stronger than Alan.

[00:03:14]>> Yeah.

[00:03:14]>> Okay, Mayor.

[00:03:20]>> Did Mayor run out of gas again?

[00:03:22]>> What do you think? I really thought that I had enough to make it home.

[00:03:25]>> Of course you did.

[00:03:28]>> Peg, will you grab that gas can? It's empty.

[00:03:31]>> Oh, you know, I actually got a full one at my house I can grab. So, >> a full can. I can go at least 40 miles on that. Well, no. You actually probably won't make it 40 miles. I mean, you get less mileage around the neighborhoods than you do on the >> Brandon. I'm kidding.

[00:03:42]>> Right.

[00:03:42]>> Mom, you know she inherited her fuel tank optimism from you.

[00:03:46]>> I haven't run out of gas in years.

[00:03:48]>> Year.

[00:03:49]>> I can top you off 2K.

[00:03:51]>> Oh, no. I I >> Mom, thanks, Brandon.

[00:03:54]>> You're so welcome.

[00:03:55]>> Thanks, Brandon. You're the best.

[00:03:58]>> Let's grab my pot. Okay, I'll cut off the table, Mom.

[00:04:06]Did I put that?

[00:04:18]Oh, Mom, that's a lot of orders. I took on a few more this season to help with Peggy's dance.

[00:04:25]I'll figure it out. I can help, but I feel terrible uprooting you like this.

[00:04:30]No, Mom. I want to be here. We know. And it means a lot that you're here. Mayor is so excited.

[00:04:39]>> She seems like she's doing better.

[00:04:41]>> Yeah, I feel like she's she's finally getting her spark back.

[00:04:45]>> It's been a rough year.

[00:04:47]>> No, I'm sorry. I should >> got a date with Brandon.

[00:04:50]>> I do not.

[00:04:51]>> They're going to an art show together on Saturday.

[00:04:53]>> Not for homework, not for a date.

[00:04:55]>> But you could make it a date.

[00:04:56]>> Mom, it's Brandon.

[00:04:58]>> So So he's not my type.

[00:05:02]Who keeps a full can of gas in their garage?

[00:05:05]>> Someone who'd make a great husband.

[00:05:07]>> Yeah, for L.

[00:05:08]>> Hey, what's wrong with a little practicality? Okay, will you marry me? I have a full can of gas and a retirement plan.

[00:05:18]>> Retirement plan.

[00:05:19]>> No, thank you.

[00:05:20]>> Give me romance or make me a nun.

[00:05:22]>> You two remind me of your dad and me.

[00:05:25]>> Complete opposites.

[00:05:26]>> And I'm the perfect blend of both. It must suck having only half good qualities. You said, >> Peggy, >> hey, let's get these boxes upstairs so we can get ready for dad's dinner.

[00:05:37]>> I call the sweatshirt. Wait.

[00:05:38]>> Oh, I get the hat.

[00:05:40]>> One, though.

[00:05:42]>> Okay.

[00:05:43]>> My favorite part of the fishing trip was sitting on the boat and eating.

[00:05:46]>> I always like >> Oh, I got my job back at the bookstore.

[00:05:50]>> Great. That'll be so fun for you to go back to work with your old friends.

[00:05:53]>> It's actually just Jessica there. And there's a new guy.

[00:05:56]>> A guy?

[00:05:58]>> Yes, Mom. I don't know if he's single.

[00:06:01]>> I wasn't going to ask that.

[00:06:03]>> She also doesn't know if he's good-looking.

[00:06:06]>> Okay, fine. Moving on. Favorite memories with your dad.

[00:06:10]>> Um the field trips that he used to take us on.

[00:06:13]>> Remember when he took us to the mortuary?

[00:06:15]>> Had nightmares for me. I liked it.

[00:06:20]>> Uh I loved the stories he would tell us when we got hurt and he was bandaging us up to keep us distracted. I actually used to sometimes pretend to get hurt just so that I could get one of his stories.

[00:06:30]>> Me too. Me too.

[00:06:32]>> My favorite part was the cheese.

[00:06:34]Obviously, >> he was into shakureri boards back when they were just called meat and cheese.

[00:06:39]>> Yeah, he claimed to have invented them.

[00:06:41]Well, he didn't invent squeeze cheese, so it's not that far off.

[00:06:46]>> Um, you know, he didn't actually invent squeeze cheese, right?

[00:06:51]>> Yes, he did.

[00:06:54]He told me. Peggy, you didn't wonder why we weren't rich.

[00:06:57]>> I did wonder why we didn't have rooms full of squeeze cheese.

[00:07:00]>> You are your father's daughter.

[00:07:08]>> Sorry. I know this isn't supposed to be sad.

[00:07:13]Great. Now I'm going to cry, too.

[00:07:21]>> Happy birthday, Dad.

[00:07:23]Happy birthday.

[00:07:31]>> Okay, let's dig in.

[00:07:35]>> So, do you think he's going to be cute?

[00:07:38]>> I don't know.

[00:07:38]>> Oh, I want to know.

[00:07:48]>> All the way down. Yeah, for right now.

[00:07:51]That's exactly right. Yes. Exactly.

[00:07:56]>> Welcome back. Thank you. Sorry I'm late.

[00:07:59]We had to stop for gas.

[00:08:00]>> Oh, no worries. No problem at all.

[00:08:02]>> Hey, uh Jessica.

[00:08:03]>> Yeah.

[00:08:04]>> What do we think?

[00:08:04]>> It's great. Eddie, this is L. Dashwood.

[00:08:08]She used to work here and now she's back.

[00:08:11]>> Hi, Eddie Ferris.

[00:08:12]>> Nice to meet you.

[00:08:13]>> You, too.

[00:08:14]>> So, if you have any questions about anything, Eddie can help you out. I have to go watch some 5-year-olds try to hit a puck with a stick.

[00:08:24]>> Yeah.

[00:08:24]>> Okay. Have fun.

[00:08:25]>> See you later.

[00:08:26]>> See you later.

[00:08:28]>> Shall we?

[00:08:29]>> Sure.

[00:08:31]>> You're not afraid of the dark, are you?

[00:08:33]>> Well, no. Not that back closet with all the books.

[00:08:45]>> So, thoughts?

[00:08:46]>> I don't know. I don't really connect with it.

[00:08:50]>> Okay. Well, here, take a look at this piece. See, in all work, she uses found pieces to portray her themes of human potential.

[00:09:00]>> You know, I should always have a professor do my homework for me. It's so much easier than reading those little >> I'm not doing your homework for you. I mean, you wrote it yourself, right? It would be unethical. Professor >> I don't know how you remember all those little details.

[00:09:14]>> Well, you know, it all stems from history.

[00:09:16]I mean, art comes from the events happening around the artist at the time of creation.

[00:09:23]>> Art stems from passion, not from events.

[00:09:27]>> But our emotions are reactions to our experiences.

[00:09:30]>> Okay, but emotions and passion are not the same thing.

[00:09:35]Passion comes from a much deeper place.

[00:09:37]It's not just some reaction to an event.

[00:09:46]See passion.

[00:09:50]>> The other night I had a dream. She was leaning into me, playful and serene and everything in between.

[00:10:00]I said, "I might not be stable, but I think you could be the one." She looked at me funny and I felt a little dumb.

[00:10:11]She said, "How can you love me when you don't even know me?" I said, "I wouldn't call it love.

[00:10:21]I'm just a little bit obsessed. The way you're looking in that dress, the way you walk around with him, the way you're making me forget."

[00:10:31]>> That was beautiful.

[00:10:33]>> Oh, thank you. You're beautiful.

[00:10:38]A piece of art in front of me standing in this gallery. She leaves me breathless.

[00:10:47]Uh, a loss of words, no poetry. Just wondering if this masterpiece would talk to me.

[00:10:59]>> Did you just make that up on the spot?

[00:11:00]>> Yeah, that's that's why it was rough.

[00:11:03]>> It was incredible. Well, you know, I had uh good source material.

[00:11:07]>> Well, source material is all relative. I mean, two people can be looking at the exact same thing and one is delighted and the other is bored.

[00:11:14]>> I doubt you could make anyone bored.

[00:11:17]>> Well, that's not what I mean.

[00:11:19]>> No, I know what you mean. You know, just last night, I couldn't believe how beautiful the sunset was, and no one around me was even looking at it.

[00:11:25]>> Exactly. Some people are just mundane.

[00:11:28]>> I know. If they would just open their eyes a little bit, get off their phones.

[00:11:31]I know that. Should we should we keep going?

[00:11:33]>> Oh, yeah.

[00:11:37]>> Hey, um, mind if I join you?

[00:11:40]>> Sure.

[00:11:40]>> All right, great. I'm taking my break after you.

[00:11:44]>> Oh, thanks.

[00:11:46]>> So, are you a student?

[00:11:49]>> Yes.

[00:11:50]>> Let me guess. Arts.

[00:11:53]>> Yes.

[00:11:54]>> Specifically, uh, let me see your hand.

[00:12:04]Well, definitely not guitar or piano.

[00:12:06]It's too soft.

[00:12:10]Drawing and painting.

[00:12:11]>> Well, the paint always gives me away. I >> think I would have guessed without the paint.

[00:12:17]My next guest was going to be interpretive dance.

[00:12:19]>> Well, I'm not very graceful.

[00:12:21]>> Oh, I doubt that.

[00:12:22]>> How would you know? You just met me.

[00:12:24]>> No, I can tell. I got a sense of these things.

[00:12:28]>> So, how long have you been doing music?

[00:12:30]Oh, I've been doing music uh my whole life, but I've just really decided to take it seriously.

[00:12:35]>> That's really cool. I could never do it.

[00:12:37]I can't sing.

[00:12:39]>> Everyone can sing. What are you talking about?

[00:12:41]>> Oh, it's too bad. I was going to get put you on the record and >> Oh, maybe I can be the tambourine girl.

[00:12:45]>> Just We've already seen these.

[00:12:47]>> Oh, I didn't even realize.

[00:12:51]>> Yeah. Uh, hey, I I should I should probably head anyway.

[00:12:54]>> Well, it was really nice to meet you.

[00:12:55]Uh, >> Will Will John's, struggling musician at your service.

[00:13:02]>> Maryanne Dashwood.

[00:13:03]>> Oh, Enchanted. Uh, would you mind?

[00:13:06]>> Oh, of course.

[00:13:08]>> Hey, hey, man. Uh, I am so sorry to intrude, but um, you know, I got distracted by the conversation.

[00:13:13]>> I'm Will.

[00:13:14]>> Brandon.

[00:13:15]>> Brandon. Super nice to meet you.

[00:13:17]>> You, too.

[00:13:18]>> Well, see you around.

[00:13:19]>> Oh, absolutely.

[00:13:23]Um, well, should we go?

[00:13:26]>> Yeah. Hey, thanks again for coming with me to the art show. You know, it was really nice to have my homework done by a professional.

[00:13:32]>> Oh, I wasn't doing that.

[00:13:33]>> Brandon, I'm kidding.

[00:13:36]But really, thank you.

[00:13:39]>> No problem.

[00:13:44]>> Did he really make up a song about you on the spot?

[00:13:47]>> Yes.

[00:13:48]Mary, you know, he probably does that for every girl he meets >> until now. We're destined to be together forever.

[00:13:55]>> It's a pretty unstable forever. He's a musician.

[00:13:58]>> Stability.

[00:13:59]>> His music career seems like it could be legit. I mean, he has a manager.

[00:14:03]>> Exactly.

[00:14:04]>> Fine. I give you permission to like him, but you can't fall in love until we know more about him. It's too late.

[00:14:11]>> Hey. Hey.

[00:14:17]>> So, how long have you been working here?

[00:14:19]>> Oh, not long. I'm a student until I love books and I thought this would be a great place to earn some extra Christmas cash.

[00:14:28]>> Are you a lit major then?

[00:14:30]>> Oh, no. Business management. My pops would flip if I majored in something as impractical as literature.

[00:14:38]>> I majored in lit.

[00:14:41]Oh, I'm I'm so sorry. I mean, I I did not mean to sound so condescending. I mean, like, there's nothing wrong with literature. I mean, I I love to study books, even if it meant that I would never make any money off of it. Okay, not that you can't make money. It's it's >> I'm fine. My mom is a florist and my sister is an artist. So, compared to them, English is basically a hard science.

[00:15:04]>> So, you're you're a teacher, a writer?

[00:15:07]No, publishing if all goes well. I just finished up an internship with a really big company and I'm waiting to hear if I can get hired on in January.

[00:15:15]>> That's seriously so cool. I hope you get it then.

[00:15:19]>> Thanks. Can take a couple of those.

[00:15:33]>> Oh my gosh. I'm so sorry. I didn't see you. Um Um Hey. Uh, Brandon, >> thanks.

[00:15:40]>> What were you doing up there?

[00:15:41]>> I was fixing a league. It's a mess up there. Gosh.

[00:15:44]>> Yeah, I can tell.

[00:15:47]>> Sorry. I'm probably a disaster.

[00:15:49]>> Yeah, but you pull it off. Thanks for being our fix it guy.

[00:15:53]>> Yeah, no problem. You know, I actually don't mind.

[00:15:55]>> Oh, that's Will. I got to go. See you, Brandon.

[00:16:01]>> See you.

[00:16:22]That's why we're sleeping here tonight.

[00:16:23]>> Yeah, with the amount of time he's spending on each bug, it's clearly a matter of life or death.

[00:16:31]>> Light bulb. I'm listening.

[00:16:33]>> Whoever recommends the book that he buys doesn't have to clean the bathroom for a week.

[00:16:38]>> You're on.

[00:16:39]>> Okay, let's go.

[00:16:45]>> Hey, so if you're looking for something with a little thriller, you cannot go wrong with Jonathan Cooper.

[00:16:52]>> But if you want to add a little joy to your anxietyinducing reading, I really recommend The Loveliest Day. It's like a romcom plus scary clowns. Uh, I don't really think he's the scary clown guy.

[00:17:03]>> I didn't realize you two knew each other.

[00:17:05]>> Yeah. Yeah. I mean, we go way back. Uh, what's your name?

[00:17:08]>> Fitz.

[00:17:09]>> Fitz and I have bonded over stuff. Uh, like this book, The Mysteries of the Night.

[00:17:16]>> That's my bad. I didn't realize things were so serious. I'll just take this back.

[00:17:20]>> Could I actually get both?

[00:17:23]>> Okay, dude. I did not peg you to be the spooky clown guy. Um, but I guess even their closest relationship can be full of surprises.

[00:17:33]I'll check you out. Let's go.

[00:17:37]>> Choices.

[00:17:40]>> So, you and Eddie, huh?

[00:17:43]>> What about me and Eddie?

[00:17:45]>> What about me and Eddie?

[00:17:48]>> I barely even know him.

[00:17:50]>> Mhm.

[00:17:56]I think the plan is to drive around and look at Christmas lights and then we're heading up the canyon to watch the meteor shower. I'm so excited.

[00:18:03]Oh, sorry. I just got an offer for the publishing job. Oh my gosh, that's so great. Oh, can I borrow some boots?

[00:18:11]>> Mayor, you look so cute. But you're going to freeze. Who cares if I'm cold if I look amazing? Maybe we'll just skip the meteor shower >> and miss a chance to kiss under the shooting stars. Yeah. Well, that's not likely to happen if I look frumpy. Okay.

[00:18:25]Cute or warm.

[00:18:28]>> Cute. He can keep you warm.

[00:18:31]>> Good point. Okay. Maybe at least bring some tights to throw on underneath.

[00:18:35]>> Oh, it's Will. Hey, I was just getting ready.

[00:18:42]Oh, yeah. Um, no, I completely understand.

[00:18:51]How long?

[00:18:55]Okay. Um, I'll see you in a week. Bye.

[00:19:04]His manager got him a gig in LA this weekend. Dang.

[00:19:11]Should have known that it was too good to be true.

[00:19:14]>> What do you mean?

[00:19:15]>> He's going to meet some girl in LA and forget all about me.

[00:19:19]I doubt that you didn't hear his voice.

[00:19:27]>> You know, I think we are overdue for a movie night.

[00:19:31]>> Guys, I'm really not in the mood.

[00:19:33]>> Not in the mood for our cheesy Christmas movie extravaganza.

[00:19:37]>> That's not supposed to be till next week.

[00:19:39]>> So, we have everything we need, right, Peggy?

[00:19:41]>> Yep. Betting opens at 6:45. Movie starts at 7:00.

[00:19:46]>> I'll tell mom. Should we Brandon? He was so funny last year.

[00:19:50]>> Fine, but if he wins everything again, he's never coming back.

[00:19:56]>> Oh, I really don't think >> Mayor, we need you to make your Christmas crunch.

[00:20:01]>> Fine.

[00:20:26]Oh, as usual, there is a $10 buy in. Payment is accepted in cash, chocolate, and cheese.

[00:20:46]The movie is A Christmas Carol.

[00:20:51]>> A discouraged Broadway hopeful Janie comes home for Christmas and gets roped into directing her community's play, A Christmas Carol. A real estate broker, Derek, threatens to shut it down. Can Janie change the heart of this modernday Scrooge and save the show? First category, time stamp of the first kiss. 52. Hey.

[00:21:13]Hey.

[00:21:14]>> One at a time.

[00:21:16]>> 1829.

[00:21:17]>> 726.

[00:21:18]>> Uh 5213.

[00:21:20]>> Okay. Next category. Will we see Derek shirtless?

[00:21:23]>> Yes. I wouldn't mind seeing that.

[00:21:25]>> Mom, no. I can't see it working into the plot.

[00:21:28]>> You know, never underestimate the minations of a romance writer. Yes.

[00:21:32]>> Yes. But I think it will be a wet shirt.

[00:21:35]Not fully shirtless.

[00:21:37]>> Mr. Darcy.

[00:21:40]>> What? Pride and Prejudice, the six-hour version. Yeah. Mr. Darcy emerges from the lake, his wet shirt clinging gloriously to his chest.

[00:21:48]>> Back to the topic at hand. How will it end?

[00:21:51]>> Marriage, >> kiss, >> proposal.

[00:21:53]>> And now I present >> actually one more category. How many times will Peggy cry?

[00:22:00]>> Okay. Okay. Two tear ups and one full cry.

[00:22:04]>> I think one, but it'll be big.

[00:22:05]>> Um, this movie looks stupid.

[00:22:07]>> Based on last year, I'm going to say two.

[00:22:10]You're uninvited next year. Now I present a Christmas carol.

[00:22:20]>> They say Christmas is a time for miracles, for believing in the impossible.

[00:22:29]>> You think they're not real?

[00:22:33]>> They're not real.

[00:22:37]I don't want to fancy one small thing. You will be my Christmas star.

[00:22:54]So good.

[00:22:59]>> Well, I didn't do as good as last year.

[00:23:01]But hey, I did protect Peggy's tears.

[00:23:04]>> And the timing of the first kiss again.

[00:23:06]Hello.

[00:23:07]>> You have a knack for timing kisses. Your dates must really appreciate that.

[00:23:10]>> I'm just disappointed he didn't take his shirt off.

[00:23:12]>> I'm not. I got seven bucks.

[00:23:15]>> Well, hey, this was fun. Seriously, thank you. And thank you for the cheese and chocolates.

[00:23:20]>> You're not invited back next year.

[00:23:22]>> Byebye.

[00:23:24]What was that?

[00:23:25]>> Dad.

[00:23:37]>> Hey, Mare didn't forget me after all.

[00:23:40]>> Do you need a ride?

[00:23:42]>> Uh, no. No, she's on her way.

[00:23:45]You know, it was fine not having a car when I lived at my old place, but now that I'm back home, it kind of sucks.

[00:23:50]>> Well, how long are you home for? Um, >> wait. Did you get that job?

[00:23:54]>> I did.

[00:23:56]>> Congratulations.

[00:23:58]>> Uh, I'm not taking it though.

[00:24:00]>> Wait, how come? I thought you said that was the perfect job for you.

[00:24:03]>> Yeah, it it is.

[00:24:06]But my dad passed away a little while ago.

[00:24:11]>> Oh, no.

[00:24:13]I'm so sorry. How are you doing?

[00:24:18]I'm doing okay now, but my family needs me.

[00:24:25]>> That's mirror, >> right?

[00:24:28]L.

[00:24:31]You know, I've never been really good at showing up for people. When it comes to family, you just show up.

[00:24:40]And you showing up for your family, I think that's really brave.

[00:24:46]Thanks.

[00:24:58]>> All right, big reveal.

[00:25:00]You didn't burn them.

[00:25:02]>> That was not my fault. I was distracted last time.

[00:25:04]>> Stop being so fun to distract.

[00:25:05]>> Oh, hey. Hey. Hey. Got the gift bags.

[00:25:07]Oh, good. We were just finishing up.

[00:25:08]>> Yeah. I'm going to head out. They're okay. All right.

[00:25:16]>> Bye.

[00:25:19]>> Eddie. Who's Eddie?

[00:25:21]>> Oh, he's just the guy from the bookstore. He probably just needs me to cover his shift.

[00:25:25]>> Hey, sorry if I put you on the spot with your dad earlier. Thanks for being so open with me. Let me know if you ever need anything. Well, actually, I could USE A DATE.

[00:25:46]>> Yes, I can. Why haven't you told me about him before? Is he ugly?

[00:25:51]>> No, he's not. It doesn't matter.

[00:25:54]>> Oh, so he's cute and he's a good listener.

[00:25:57]>> What makes you say that?

[00:25:58]>> You never tell anyone about Dad.

[00:26:01]>> Stop inventing in Eddie.

[00:26:04]>> Give me your phone. I am getting you a date.

[00:26:06]>> I'll get my own dates. Thanks. You have one week before I intervene.

[00:26:21]>> Look, I gave L a week to get a date with this guy, and it's been 8 days. I'm sorry, but my hands are tied.

[00:26:27]>> I just really don't want to intrude, you know.

[00:28:35]Not not that you're obligated to marry into the family if you come to dinner.

[00:35:13]>> You haven't even read the book.

[00:35:15]>> You told me it was good and I trust you kind of.

[00:35:18]>> Okay. Well, then it was my recommendation that made the sale.

[00:35:20]>> No way. You get the credit for that.

[00:35:22]That's cheating.

[00:36:17]>> Whoa. You are not talking about marriage.

[00:36:20]Okay. Well, not in those exact words.

[00:36:23]It's just we're basically exactly who the other person always wanted to be with.

[00:36:28]>> Okay. But you should maybe date for a couple months before you start coming up with baby names.

[00:36:34]>> Well, oh my gosh. Mayor, >> don't worry. We're saving Reginald and Fitzgerald for you and Eddie.

[00:36:55]>> I'll plan a double wedding for the fall.

[00:36:57]Ow. Gosh.

[00:37:02]>> I don't know how she forgets to pick me up when we've shared a car for this long.

[00:37:05]>> It's honestly impressive at this point.

[00:37:09]>> Here we are.

[00:37:10]>> Thanks for driving me. Yeah.

[00:37:12]>> Are you working Monday?

[00:37:15]>> Um, actually, I I wanted to talk to you about that.

[00:37:44]>> Paul, it's a long internship.

[00:37:49]>> Yeah, I feel really bad leaving so suddenly.

[00:37:59]I I hate to abandon you at the bookstore.

[00:38:07]It's fine. And I'm sure we can find some trendy teenager who wants to work there.

[00:38:12]>> That sounds terrible.

[00:38:14]>> Yeah, but on the bright side, they'll probably clog the receipt machine less than you do.

[00:38:20]>> You know that's not that hard.

[00:38:26]>> Well, I thanks.

[00:38:30]>> Oh, I should probably go to Okay. Um, I'll see you on the phone.

[00:38:46]>> See you.

[00:38:57]>> Hey.

[00:38:58]>> Hey.

[00:38:58]>> Where's Mayor?

[00:38:59]>> Um, uh, Eddie drove me >> and he's taking an internship in Michigan.

[00:39:06]Oh, honey, I'm so sorry.

[00:39:09]>> It's okay.

[00:39:11]>> You know, you can talk to me about it if you want to.

[00:39:15]>> Yeah, I know.

[00:39:31]This place is so cute. Thank you. I made it myself. Seriously, it is darling.

[00:39:39]Hi, I'm Lucy Steel. Hi.

[00:39:41]>> Are you on social media? I would love to share with my followers.

[00:39:44]>> That would be great. Here is all the information.

[00:39:48]>> No way. You guys are hiring. This would be the cutest job.

[00:39:52]>> Are you looking?

[00:39:53]>> I could be.

[00:39:54]>> Oh, here. Fill this out.

[00:39:58]>> Thank you.

[00:40:07]I think I could do this professionally.

[00:40:08]>> Are you sure about that?

[00:40:09]>> Absolutely.

[00:40:10]>> It's on fire.

[00:40:13]>> Okay. Perfect.

[00:40:14]>> Yeah, sure. Why not? Yeah.

[00:40:16]>> Okay. Okay.

[00:40:17]>> Ooh. All right.

[00:40:18]>> Ready?

[00:40:19]>> Cheers.

[00:40:25]That's very good. That's very good.

[00:40:28]Yeah, I never would have thought of putting roasted marshmallows in hot chocolate.

[00:40:32]>> I find that combining two really great things is usually a good idea.

[00:40:36]>> Like us.

[00:40:38]>> So, you're saying that I'm really great >> and that we're a good idea?

[00:40:44]>> Agreed.

[00:40:49]>> I believe we only known each other two months.

[00:40:52]>> Feel the same.

[00:40:54]>> I don't think I've ever been this happy.

[00:40:56]Yeah.

[00:40:59]I never want this to end.

[00:41:04]>> Why you put it?

[00:41:09]>> I don't know. It's It was It's hard. Not everybody wants to be with a guy who will probably never settle in one place.

[00:41:21]>> That doesn't matter to me if I love him.

[00:41:25]>> Do you love him?

[00:41:30]Yes, >> I love you, Mayor.

[00:41:53]>> Mayor, what's wrong?

[00:41:55]>> Nothing. Nothing is wrong. Will just texted me. He wants to talk. I think he's GOING TO PROPOSE TONIGHT.

[00:42:01]>> I had a feeling you two would seal the deal early on. Same way it was with your dad and me.

[00:42:05]>> That's really early. Mayor, do you think he's going to do it at the gallery where we first met?

[00:42:10]>> Oh, what are you going to wear?

[00:42:11]>> I bet you he's going to play you a song.

[00:42:12]I just know it. Oh, that's so cute.

[00:42:21]>> I wonder if he's proposed yet.

[00:42:23]>> Mom, we're not even sure that's what's happening. Of course it is. They're perfect for each other.

[00:42:29]>> Hey, give him our privacy, Peggy.

[00:42:32]Boring.

[00:42:35]>> What do you think the ring's going to look like?

[00:42:38]Solitaire wideband her.

[00:42:42]>> Mayor Will, what happened?

[00:42:57]I had to break things off with her.

[00:43:00]>> You told her you loved her.

[00:43:01]>> I do love her.

[00:43:04]I've never been into a nightmare, but I have a chance to go to LA. This could make my career.

[00:43:14]Hey, you know she deserves more than this.

[00:43:18]more than a boyfriend with a rundown apartment who lives paycheck to paycheck and can't keep his own life together.

[00:43:26]Tell her I'm sorry.

[00:43:42]>> How is she?

[00:43:43]>> She won't open the door. What did he say? He said he still loves her, but he had to break up with her because he has to go to LA.

[00:43:52]>> Mayor, >> mayor, can you please let us in? We're worried about you.

[00:44:06]>> I just need to be alone.

[00:44:11]>> Okay.

[00:44:13]Well, we'll be here if you need us.

[00:44:18]You guys head to bed. I'll walk up.

[00:44:58]Mayor, please open the door.

[00:45:07]>> Mayor, we just want to see how you're doing.

[00:45:10]>> Can you let us in, please?

[00:45:18]Honey.

[00:45:22]Hey.

[00:45:25]You don't need to talk. I just need to know that you're okay.

[00:45:29]>> How can I ever be okay without Will?

[00:45:31]>> I know, honey. You feel like you're never going to care about anything or anyone again, but I promise you, >> but I don't want to.

[00:45:42]Maybe he will get to LA, realize he can't live without you, and come back.

[00:45:47]>> Peggy, >> from what he said to L, it sounds like he really cares about you.

[00:45:54]Give him his space, and it'll all work out.

[00:45:57]>> Really?

[00:46:00]>> Mom, don't get her hopes up.

[00:46:03]>> You could finish up your degree early and be in Los Angeles with him in less than a year. I don't think she should plan her whole life around the hope that they get back together.

[00:46:11]>> What's wrong with her making a plan?

[00:46:13]Worst case scenario, she finishes school early.

[00:46:15]>> Best case scenario, my sister marries a rock star. Win-win >> Jess.

[00:46:33]Hello.

[00:46:36]Welcome to Three Goats Gruff. How can I help you?

[00:46:40]>> You got the job.

[00:46:41]>> Lucy, right?

[00:46:42]>> Right. You're the other employee, Esther.

[00:46:47]>> L Ellie, will you take a picture of me?

[00:46:50]I'm actually doing socials for the store now. Get one by the register.

[00:46:54]>> Wait.

[00:46:56]By the chunky books. Where Where are those?

[00:47:00]This is actually perfect. Right here.

[00:47:06]Do you mind getting that? I really want to get this posted.

[00:47:09]>> Thanks.

[00:47:10]>> Sure.

[00:47:12]>> Hi. How can I help you?

[00:47:13]>> Hello.

[00:47:24]>> Wow. I see you're feeling better. Yeah.

[00:47:27]I just figured out that if I amp up my online sales and take a few extra courses this semester, then I can travel with Will. And he's on board with this.

[00:47:35]>> We've been texting. He still loves me.

[00:47:38]>> So, you told him your plans?

[00:47:40]>> Well, well, not yet. I really wanted to focus on his work.

[00:47:44]>> Mayor, >> you worry too much, L. It really feels like he never even left.

[00:47:53]When was the last time you heard from Eddie?

[00:47:56]>> I don't know. It's been a while. Last time you finished a book.

[00:48:00]>> We just sparked the romance. Maybe it isn't all about romance. Mayor, did you ever think that maybe you would be happier if you didn't revolve your entire life around whoever you're into at the moment and end up like you? You never do anything for yourself, L. I mean, what even happened with that publishing job that you were so excited about?

[00:48:18]>> I turned it down.

[00:48:19]>> That's exactly my point. I'm sorry. Was it too impractical for you?

[00:48:24]>> No, you just >> I don't need you to baby me.

[00:48:26]>> I'm not babying you. I just >> You know what? Never mind.

[00:48:42]>> Happy Valentine's Day, Ellie.

[00:48:44]>> Oh, I thought these would add a festive touch today.

[00:48:47]>> They're nice.

[00:48:48]>> My boyfriend gets me the sweetest bouquets. I'm obsessed.

[00:48:52]>> Oh, thank you. Do you mind if I just set these over here?

[00:48:56]>> Sure.

[00:49:02]Oh, your boyfriend's name is Eddie.

[00:49:04]>> Yep.

[00:49:05]>> That's the same name as a guy who used to work here. It's not a super common name anymore.

[00:49:09]>> Weird. Two guys named Eddie. Both connected to this bookstore.

[00:49:13]>> Yeah, it is weird.

[00:49:16]>> Okay, I have to tell you, but I probably shouldn't.

[00:49:18]>> Oh, then >> Eddie's my boyfriend.

[00:49:21]>> Yeah, I gathered that from the card.

[00:49:23]>> No, the one who worked here. Eddie Ferris, the one and only.

[00:49:30]>> He never mentioned he had a girlfriend.

[00:49:32]>> Well, it's complicated. Our dads went to Princeton together and our families have known each other forever. So, everyone just kind of expects us to end up together.

[00:49:41]>> Wow.

[00:49:42]>> I know. And I'm not supposed to tell anyone because Eddie's dad is pulling all of these strings to get him an internship with my dad's company and we don't want any of the nepotism drama.

[00:49:52]You won't tell anyone, will you?

[00:49:54]I don't know who I would tell.

[00:49:56]>> Thanks. Will you take a pick of you with my flowers?

[00:50:00]>> Yeah.

[00:50:08]>> Mayor, would you do something? I just need to finish writing this text.

[00:50:11]>> Oh, and I can't wait 2 seconds.

[00:50:13]>> I'm sorry. You're bitter you don't have a Valentine's Day.

[00:50:15]>> Um, I did have a Valentine's Day. It was very success. Ooh, food. I'm starving.

[00:50:19]Tangerine chicken.

[00:50:20]>> Yeah.

[00:50:22]Mom, did you get all your orders out?

[00:50:24]>> Brandon, bless him, is delivering the last one.

[00:50:28]>> Well, we'll finish these tomorrow. You need to eat.

[00:50:32]>> Will, maybe.

[00:50:34]>> What did he get you for Valentine's Day?

[00:50:36]>> Oh, just his undying love. Lame.

[00:50:39]Okay. Well, he's really busy. Besides, it's not even like we're actually dating, so we decided not to do presents this year.

[00:50:46]>> Peggy, how was your Valentine's Day?

[00:50:49]>> Fiscally excellent. Romantically poor.

[00:50:51]Hey, Ann and Ree got me flowers and candy, but Micah didn't even notice me.

[00:50:55]>> Nognog.

[00:50:57]>> Hey, Brandon.

[00:50:58]>> Hey. Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to intrude on your Valentine's Day plans.

[00:51:01]>> Valentine's Day? Peggy.

[00:51:03]>> Oh, well then I really am intruding.

[00:51:04]>> No, stay. The least we can do is feed you since you won't let me pay you for deliveries.

[00:51:09]>> Come on, sit. That is unless you have a secret trrist with Dr. Martinez.

[00:51:15]>> Only trrist I have is with this chicken.

[00:51:19]Wait.

[00:51:21]Happy Valentine's Day.

[00:51:22]>> Oh, happy >> Valentine's Day.

[00:51:27]>> Working a real job is so hard. It's so stressful, right? Anyway, Eddie is killing his internship. Everyone adors him. Of course. I can't wait to make it official. It'll be perfect.

[00:51:43]Like him. One sec.

[00:51:49]Can I help you?

[00:51:50]>> I'm sure you can.

[00:51:52]>> Would you like a tour?

[00:51:53]>> Oh, yes, please.

[00:51:59]>> Here you go.

[00:52:01]>> Wow. Okay.

[00:52:02]>> So many pages.

[00:52:03]>> Yeah. Read a lot, huh?

[00:52:05]>> I do.

[00:52:08]>> Lucy, can I get some help?

[00:52:10]>> Sure.

[00:52:16]What do you need?

[00:52:18]>> Can you help me put these books away?

[00:52:23]>> You gave him your number?

[00:52:24]>> No, I'm just damning him.

[00:52:27]>> What about Eddie?

[00:52:28]>> What do you mean?

[00:52:29]>> You don't think he would care if you're flirting with another guy?

[00:52:33]>> It's customer service.

[00:52:35]>> Thank you for your help.

[00:52:37]>> Anytime.

[00:52:52]Can you please turn the lamp off?

[00:52:54]>> I'm almost done.

[00:52:55]>> That's what you said an hour ago.

[00:52:57]>> I just need to sell three more paintings so I can go visit Will.

[00:53:11]I'll be right with you. Do >> you have any books that can satisfy my scary clown obsession?

[00:53:18]>> We actually do. There's one called Eddie.

[00:53:22]>> Hey, >> what are you doing here?

[00:53:24]>> Family reunion.

[00:53:27]>> How's the internship?

[00:53:29]>> Boring. You don't really want to hear about it. More importantly.

[00:53:36]>> Wow.

[00:53:37]You've only sold 42 books since I've been gone.

[00:53:40]>> It's a miracle this place is still standing. Well, I stopped keeping track a little while ago. Figured you were dead or something.

[00:53:46]>> Yeah, well, I'm not a best at long distance communicating.

[00:53:55]>> I saw your car. I knew it was you.

[00:53:59]How did you know that I worked here? I was going to surprise you when you got back.

[00:54:03]>> I I probably mentioned it.

[00:54:05]>> Ellie, you little sneak trying to get him back here cuz I keep chatting your ear off about him every day. You caught me. She will certainly be glad to have you back. Um, Lucy, do you mind finishing up these books? Got to head out.

[00:54:19]>> Um, actually, I don't know if I remember her. Eddie, we'll show you.

[00:54:25]>> Is that a new shirt?

[00:54:26]>> I really like these red ones. We should get more next.

[00:54:28]>> Yeah.

[00:54:29]>> How many arrangements do we have?

[00:54:30]>> A couple more.

[00:54:31]>> L, I just saw Eddie. You didn't tell me he was going to be in time.

[00:54:34]>> I knew he'd come back for you.

[00:54:36]>> Oh, that's so romantic. Looks like he's finally becoming spontaneous.

[00:54:39]>> He's not here to see me.

[00:54:44]Oh, hi Eddie.

[00:54:47]>> Hi. Is Is Ella around?

[00:54:54]>> My gosh.

[00:54:57]>> Hi.

[00:54:58]>> Hey.

[00:55:02]>> Hi.

[00:55:03]>> Oh, I about Lucy. I need to apologize. I know there's there's nothing to apologize for this morning.

[00:55:11]>> No, there is.

[00:55:15]I shouldn't have gotten so close with you.

[00:55:18]And I honestly don't know why I didn't tell you about Lucy.

[00:55:24]See, our families are so close. And there's all of this pressure and and and I know that's not a valid excuse for anything.

[00:55:32]>> You don't owe me an explanation.

[00:55:35]Lucy's great.

[00:55:37]She's really fun.

[00:55:40]I'm so sorry. I hope I didn't.

[00:55:44]>> No, no, no. We're good.

[00:55:50]>> Anyways, it it looks like Lucy's dad might hire me on.

[00:55:54]>> That's great. That'll be that'll be really good for you guys.

[00:55:59]>> Which means I I probably won't be moving back here.

[00:56:06]>> But I'll see you around.

[00:56:08]Yeah.

[00:56:28]So So he got a job in Michigan and he's not coming back. So hopefully that clears up the Eddie and L situation.

[00:56:37]Single sister summer is going to be so fun.

[00:56:44]>> I get this feeling like a bag of bricks.

[00:56:53]>> What kind of wedding dress would you want? Like your dream wedding dress.

[00:56:56]Personally, I don't care what style it is, but maybe or like a dress.

[00:57:06]Hey, won't you pick it up a little bit faster?

[00:57:12]Hey, you know, >> you're so welcome.

[00:57:22]>> I won't say no.

[00:57:23]>> Okay.

[00:57:27]>> There's the bug.

[00:57:30]There's the bug.

[00:57:35]at >> Hey, what time do we need to leave? 3.

[00:57:41]I'm so excited. I'm so glad you get to go. Is Will picking you up at the airport?

[00:57:45]>> No, I'm getting a car. I'm not even going to see him until after the show.

[00:57:48]But have a backstage pass.

[00:58:03]Uh, Mayor Dashwood.

[00:58:19]You were incredible.

[00:58:25]>> Do you think they liked it? They loved you. Are you kidding? Look at you.

[00:58:28]You're out here living your dream.

[00:58:30]>> Kind of crazy.

[00:58:31]>> Hey, Will. We have some people out here that are waiting for you. If you want to come chat with them, I'll >> go.

[00:59:00]Hey, >> how are you?

[00:59:03]>> Hey, I am so sorry. Please, producers, they want to take me out for some drinks.

[00:59:09]>> Yeah, that's so great.

[00:59:11]>> You should go. Okay, you'll be good.

[00:59:12]It's good for you.

[00:59:13]>> Yeah.

[00:59:15]>> Are you sure? I know you want to spend time while we were out here.

[00:59:18]>> I'll be fine. You should go. Okay.

[00:59:21]>> Thank you. You're the best.

[00:59:33]I would say that I would miss you guys.

[00:59:35]And of course I will. But if I'm being honest, I want to be way too busy planning my wedding to even think about my cute little bookstore girlies.

[00:59:43]>> I'm sure you'll be very busy. Oh, I know. I've been dreaming about getting married since I was like six. The number of wedding vision boards I have would shock you. Would it? And it's crazy how everything is just coming together. I mean, Eddie's literally pursuing the same line of work as my dad, and I'm so excited for the proposal. Eddie's going to do something elaborate. I just know it. Watch my feed for pictures. We will.

[01:00:10]Well, I guess I'm off. Bye, Ellie.

[01:00:17]I'll send you an announcement.

[01:00:45]Hey, Dad.

[01:00:48]Sorry, it's been a while.

[01:00:51]Um, I got offered that publishing job I told you about. I'm actually not taking it, though.

[01:01:00]Um, the mayor thinks I should. And you know, maybe she's right, but it's not that simple.

[01:01:13]She needs me here.

[01:01:16]She's actually chasing a boy who's probably going to break her heart.

[01:01:22]And Peggy and Mom, well, they're doing their best, but they they miss you.

[01:01:33]There's this situation at work and it's dumb and I wish I didn't care about it, but but I do.

[01:01:53]Anyway, I miss you.

[01:02:05]I don't know how you did it all.

[01:02:25]>> Hey, is uh Lucy around? She doesn't work here anymore.

[01:02:29]>> Dang, she didn't mention that.

[01:02:31]>> Can I help you find anything else?

[01:02:34]>> Maybe her address.

[01:02:36]>> I'm kidding. I'm not a stalker.

[01:02:41]>> Oh, your last name is Ferris. Do you know Eddie Ferris?

[01:02:44]>> Yeah, he's my cousin.

[01:02:47]>> Wow. Lucy, we miss having him here. He was a great employee.

[01:02:52]>> He used to work here. Of course he did.

[01:02:55]He's such a nerd.

[01:03:02]Plymouth, Wisconsin, here I come.

[01:03:06]You are the only person I know that would choose their college based on cheese.

[01:03:12]>> I have my priorities.

[01:03:15]Cheese in the world's not going to know what hit them.

[01:03:22]>> Keep an eye on Mayor for me. I'm worried about her. I know.

[01:03:27]Love you. Love you.

[01:03:51]>> Hey, still nothing from Will?

[01:03:54]>> No.

[01:03:56]I'm sure he's just busy. He's never been a good texter.

[01:04:00]>> Yeah, but it's been longer than usual.

[01:04:04]>> Do you want to get some lunch?

[01:04:09]>> I guess.

[01:04:22]Will >> my mayor? A mayor?

[01:04:26]>> What are you doing here? I thought that you were still in LA.

[01:04:28]>> I don't really have time to talk.

[01:04:30]>> Babe, uh, did you want that muffin?

[01:04:32]>> Uh, you remember Sophia?

[01:04:35]>> Sophia Gray. Hi, I'm El. I'm Mayor's sister.

[01:04:39]>> Nice to meet you both.

[01:04:42]Mayor, I think I saw you um at the backstage, but I never I never got a chance to talk to you.

[01:04:47]>> What are you guys doing in town?

[01:04:49]>> Oh, we had a layover. I lay over to visit my dad for Will's new record label.

[01:04:56]>> Oh, congrats.

[01:04:58]>> Thanks. You know, I >> can't take all the credit.

[01:05:01]>> All I did was introduce you.

[01:05:04]>> I I got to go.

[01:05:08]>> Um, I'll be right back.

[01:05:21]Mayor.

[01:05:23]Mayor, >> don't.

[01:05:25]>> Mayor, please. I want to talk to her.

[01:05:27]>> And tell her what? That you love her, but you're ditching her for your career?

[01:05:31]Just go.

[01:05:33]>> Tell her I'm sorry.

[01:06:05]Hey, any any updates?

[01:06:07]>> She's still unconscious, but she has some good brain activity.

[01:06:13]The doctors say we won't really know the full extent of the damage until she wakes up. So, now we just wait.

[01:06:23]Do you need any rest? I can stay with Mayor.

[01:06:26]>> No, no. I need I need to be here.

[01:06:29]>> Right. Um, what about your mom and Peggy? When do they get back?

[01:06:33]>> They're catching the first flight. They can, but I don't I don't know when that will be.

[01:06:37]>> I'll I'll pick them up. Um, >> I need to see her. Hey, >> hey, hey. No.

[01:06:43]>> Hey. Just want to make sure she's okay.

[01:06:44]Please, >> you need to go.

[01:06:46]>> Please. Will, >> she's alive. You need to leave now, Will.

[01:07:07]>> Thank you.

[01:07:09]>> No problem. My pleasure.

[01:07:12]Really?

[01:07:16]>> I should get back to Mirror, >> right? Don't forget this.

[01:07:21]Hey, she's going to be okay. She's strong.

[01:07:54]I need you to stay there.

[01:08:00]Please, please stay.

[01:08:48]Is she going to be all right?

[01:08:50]>> I'm sure she's okay. You guys go on in and I'll be out here if you >> Hey, she's okay.

[01:09:09]>> Thank goodness.

[01:09:11]>> Thank you for picking them up.

[01:09:13]>> Of course. Yeah.

[01:09:16]>> Did you need anything else?

[01:09:18]>> No. No, we're good.

[01:09:21]Seriously, please let me know, okay? I'm right here if you need me.

[01:09:27]>> I know.

[01:09:43]>> I want my professors, but we'll see.

[01:09:48]Mwah.

[01:09:50]>> I'll be back tonight at dinner. Okay.

[01:09:52]>> Hi, I'm Peggy. This is L. We're your sisters. You got a pretty good bonk on the head, but the nice doctors are taking very good care of you.

[01:10:04]>> Peggy, that joke stopped being funny 3 days ago.

[01:10:07]>> You can never be too careful. I'm going to go get snacks. Don't forget me while I'm gone.

[01:10:22]you okay?

[01:10:25]Why am I like this?

[01:10:28]Why did I let Will have so much power over me that I couldn't even think straight when I saw him with ever since I met him, all of my happiness has hinged on him.

[01:10:50]And I know I know that it's unhealthy, but I don't know how to stop it.

[01:11:00]It just feels like who I am, man.

[01:11:10]Your passion for life is one of my favorite things about you.

[01:11:15]You feel big, but that can be good. and bad.

[01:11:22]>> So, I'm just stuck like this.

[01:11:29]Well, I don't know that it's something that you can or even should cure, but if it's feeling overwhelming, maybe you could get some help. Meet with a therapist.

[01:11:44]Yeah.

[01:11:47]I love you.

[01:11:49]Let me >> think we might blow away this week.

[01:11:59]>> I know for real.

[01:12:00]>> I mean, we are headed into fall break.

[01:12:02]It makes sense.

[01:12:02]>> Yeah, I am excited for that. I need the break. Hey, mayor.

[01:12:06]>> Hey. How are you doing getting caught up?

[01:12:08]>> Good. Thanks again for letting me make up those missed assignments. It's been a rough month. Don't thank me. Thank Brandon. He's the one who convinced me to extend your deadlines.

[01:12:18]Hey, so pick up at 7:00.

[01:12:20]>> Yeah, I'll be ready.

[01:12:21]>> Cool.

[01:12:21]>> See you.

[01:12:23]>> Hey, can I take that for you?

[01:12:26]>> Thank you.

[01:12:26]>> Yeah, I've been wanting to talk to you, actually. So, >> Oh, somehow I feel like I'm in trouble.

[01:12:31]>> Oh, no. Nothing like that. I just, you know, I want to check in on you. I've been worried about you.

[01:12:35]>> Yeah, you and everyone else. Well, physically, I'm just about healed up.

[01:12:40]And it's taken an entire month, but I'm finally caught up in my classes.

[01:12:46]>> And emotionally?

[01:12:48]I'm sorry. You don't have to answer that. Um, >> honestly, it's been slow.

[01:12:57]I mean, I can't just turn off my emotions and and I'm worried that I don't know how to be in a relationship without completely losing myself.

[01:13:10]>> Well, yeah. I mean, that's that's really scary.

[01:13:13]It is. But the therapy has been helping.

[01:13:17]They have me using a planner, which I know is comical, but taking control of the things that I can. It helps me to feel less out of control with my emotions. Starting to feel a lot more grounded.

[01:13:31]>> I'm so glad you're getting help.

[01:13:33]>> Thanks for asking me. It's good for me to talk about it.

[01:13:36]>> Yeah, of course. You know, you know that I'm here anytime.

[01:13:39]>> Yeah.

[01:13:52]A fancy envelope. Looks like the Christmas cards are rolling in.

[01:13:57]Oh, wait. It's just to save the date.

[01:14:00]Lucy Steel and Eddie Ferris.

[01:14:06]Did you know about this?

[01:14:09]>> Yeah.

[01:14:12]And you didn't tell us.

[01:14:13]>> I I promised Lucy I wouldn't.

[01:14:16]>> You could have told me at least.

[01:14:18]>> I don't I don't really want to talk about this.

[01:14:22]You never want to talk about it.

[01:14:26]You can't ignore your emotions. You tell me that I need to deal with what I'm feeling and you can't even acknowledge that you feel anything. Is that what you think? That I don't feel anything?

[01:14:39]that I haven't felt the weight of the world on my shoulder since Dad died. The guilt of being gone and knowing that mom needed support and and you and Peggy were hurting.

[01:14:51]Dad Dad was the only person who could keep a lid on his emotions and make sure that you guys are okay and and he's gone.

[01:15:01]And I can't carry it all alone.

[01:15:04]I had no idea.

[01:15:06]>> Yeah, I know.

[01:15:09]I didn't mean to put all that on you. I am so sorry.

[01:15:14]>> No, it's fine. I'm I'm fine.

[01:15:17]>> No, it's not. It is not fine.

[01:15:22]I can do better.

[01:15:24]You don't have to carry my stuff.

[01:15:28]But I need you to do better, too. You have to be honest when I ask you how you're feeling.

[01:15:35]Okay.

[01:15:38]Okay. Okay.

[01:15:59]Look >> how cute I am.

[01:16:00]>> What do you guys think of this?

[01:16:02]>> Why'd you put that there? That goes in the bookshop.

[01:16:03]>> Got to try something new.

[01:16:05]>> It doesn't look very good.

[01:16:10]What is it? Just Lucy being Lucy.

[01:16:14]>> Oh, that is a choice. Why is she sending you her wedding decorations?

[01:16:19]>> I don't know. I think she's just being mean. I'm going to tell her to stop. No, no, no, no, no. Don't do that. I would feel bad and she might tell Letty.

[01:16:27]>> What's the difference? He's marrying Lucy.

[01:16:29]>> I know. I just don't want him to think that I'm bitter.

[01:16:32]I know it's stupid, but I'm allowed to be irrational sometimes. And you're wasting it on this? Has Mar taught you nothing about her irresponsible ways?

[01:16:40]Hey, I am no longer irresponsible. I have a planner and a budgeting app. And I have a tiara, so now I'm a princess.

[01:16:49]You >> For real, L, you need to burn the Lucy Bridge. Oh, >> I will after the wedding.

[01:16:55]>> Um, mayor, can I use the car tomorrow? I need to do some shopping.

[01:16:58]>> Yeah, sure. I just have therapy at 2, but I can ask Brandon if he can take me.

[01:17:02]>> You two sure are spending a lot of time together.

[01:17:04]>> Yeah, he's been helping me get caught up in my classes.

[01:17:08]>> Mayor, do you like Brandon? What? No.

[01:17:14]Wait, do I?

[01:17:17]I think I do.

[01:17:18]>> I thought you said he was boring.

[01:17:21]>> Okay, well, maybe I could use a little boring.

[01:17:26]Besides, it doesn't even matter because I'm pretty sure he's dating Dr. Martinez.

[01:17:31]>> I wouldn't give up so easily.

[01:17:33]>> Mom, Dr. Martinez is stunning. I should know. I'm the one who told him to ask her out. I can't compete with somebody who's beautiful and responsible. Uh, you've been competing with me your whole life.

[01:17:44]>> Hey, it's true. You are getting closer to my level. I mean, you haven't run out of gas for like a month. I'll be sure to tell him that. That'll win him over for sure. Oh, it might. If you also had a Christmas sweater as amazing as mine.

[01:17:57]Fine.

[01:18:06]>> Hi, welcome in. What can I get for you?

[01:18:08]>> Um, I have a pickup order for El Dashwood. Great. Let me go grab it for you.

[01:18:11]>> Thank you, >> L.

[01:18:19]>> Eddie.

[01:18:19]>> Oh my gosh. It's It's so good to see you.

[01:18:23]Um, what are you doing in town?

[01:18:26]>> Oh, I'm actually picking up a cake. My friend is getting married.

[01:18:31]>> Guess that's the thing to do.

[01:18:33]>> It is.

[01:18:35]>> Well, your friend's getting married.

[01:18:37]You're getting married.

[01:18:39]>> Oh, yeah. Right. I mean, June is still a ways out, so it doesn't doesn't feel real yet. So, >> yeah. It it'll be here before you know it.

[01:18:50]>> Yeah.

[01:18:52]Yeah, I guess it will.

[01:18:55]>> Um, how's the big job?

[01:18:58]>> Honestly, I really miss working at the bookstore.

[01:19:02]>> It's really nice to work with people you actually like. Not that I don't like my co-workers, it's just it's not the same.

[01:19:10]>> Yeah, we miss you, too.

[01:19:16]>> Here you go. Thanks for coming in. Come back again soon. Thank you.

[01:19:22]Um, I better go.

[01:19:25]>> It was good to see you.

[01:19:28]>> Really?

[01:19:30]>> You, too.

[01:19:44]I It was fine. Not good enough. What?

[01:19:51]Ellie, you promised you would talk to me. Yeah.

[01:19:55]I don't even know what I'm feeling.

[01:20:02]It was so good to see him.

[01:20:05]I still I still really like him, but but he's marrying Lucy.

[01:20:19]That just feels wrong.

[01:20:24]It is wrong. She doesn't belong with him.

[01:20:29]Feeling out loud is more painful.

[01:20:32]I know.

[01:20:34]How is this better than just suppressing my emotions?

[01:20:39]Because you're not alone.

[01:20:46]I love you. I love you, too.

[01:20:52]>> You got to be kidding me.

[01:20:54]>> What?

[01:20:55]>> After the bridezilla that she's been, she didn't even go through with the wedding plans.

[01:20:59]>> Are you serious? Who does that?

[01:21:01]>> Who does what?

[01:21:05]>> Eddie and Lucy eloped.

[01:21:08]>> I'm sorry, L.

[01:21:11]No, it's it's not like I didn't know it was coming. It's just sudden.

[01:21:18]But ultimately, this is probably better.

[01:21:21]Now it's settled and now I can just let it go.

[01:21:25]>> Well, if you need to talk trash on her, I'm ready.

[01:21:29]>> Okay, thanks.

[01:21:32]>> Should we at her house?

[01:21:33]>> Yes, tonight.

[01:21:33]>> Okay.

[01:21:39]>> Hey, El.

[01:21:40]>> Hey.

[01:21:40]>> Sorry, I'm in a bit of a hurry today. I uh >> You look fancy. Where you headed?

[01:21:44]>> I got a faculty party. Oh, for fun or work?

[01:21:48]>> I mean, mostly fun, but you know, I mean, these work things are always a little iffy.

[01:21:52]>> Yeah.

[01:21:53]>> Um, >> can I help you find something?

[01:21:55]>> Yeah, I need something for a gift exchange, but you know, no art. The art professors are really kind of snobby.

[01:22:00]So, >> I have this book. It's about an artist, but there's not actually any art in it, so I think it should be safe.

[01:22:07]>> Okay. Yeah. No, that actually I think that'd be perfect. So, let's do it.

[01:22:11]>> Okay.

[01:22:11]>> Thanks.

[01:22:12]>> Um, I hear you're dating Dr. Martinez.

[01:22:15]>> What? No. No.

[01:22:18]>> Oh, mayor will be happy to hear that.

[01:22:22]>> Why?

[01:22:23]>> No reason.

[01:22:25]>> Okay. Um, help a guy out. I'm not great at interpreting women.

[01:22:29]>> Let's just say she'll be very happy to hear you're available.

[01:22:35]>> Wait, are you saying she's interested in in me being available?

[01:22:41]>> Very interested.

[01:22:44]Really?

[01:22:45]>> Yes. And you've been completely unresponsive. So, she assumed you were with Dr. Martinez, >> right? No, I I just I haven't wanted to take advantage of her vulnerability. I mean, after Will and you know, the accident and you're sure.

[01:22:59]>> Yes.

[01:23:02]>> I um Okay.

[01:23:07]>> Brandon.

[01:23:07]>> Yeah.

[01:23:08]>> Your book.

[01:23:09]>> Oh, right. Sorry. Thank you. Seriously, thank you. Merry Christmas.

[01:23:14]>> Merry Christmas.

[01:23:23]>> I'm almost done, guys.

[01:23:24]>> Oh, >> I saw Eddie at the mall.

[01:23:27]>> What? Why didn't you tell me?

[01:23:28]>> I was saving the moment for maximum impact.

[01:23:30]>> And how was the blushing bride?

[01:23:32]>> She wasn't with him. He asked about you, so I told him you were working and he said he would visit. So, I told him you have a boyfriend. You did not. I didn't want you to look pathetic.

[01:23:42]>> I'm not pathetic. I am actually the newest employee of Norland Park Publishing.

[01:23:48]>> Congratulations.

[01:23:50]>> I thought you turned them down.

[01:23:52]>> Well, they called me this morning and they had another position open up and I actually said yes before I could even process it.

[01:23:57]>> That's my girl acting before you think.

[01:24:01]>> Hey Jess, we're heading out. See you tomorrow.

[01:24:08]>> Just eloped. Who decorates their own car after a loop?

[01:24:14]>> Oh my gosh, it's Lucy.

[01:24:17]>> I don't want Eddie to see me. That's not Eddie she's with.

[01:24:22]>> Oh, it's Robert. Eddie's cousin. What?

[01:24:27]Poor Eddie.

[01:24:28]>> Um, lucky Eddie. Now he's available to date you.

[01:24:32]>> Yeah, and you told him I have a boyfriend.

[01:24:36]Where are we going? The bookstore.

[01:24:44]Why are we slowing down? I'm not. I Oh my gosh. Is it empty?

[01:24:50]>> No. No. No. No. Seriously, mayor of all times. L, you were the last person to drive this car.

[01:25:00]I am never letting you live this down.

[01:25:04]Where are you going?

[01:25:07]The bookstore's two blocks from here.

[01:25:10]>> What?

[01:25:12]Whoa. Peggy, someone has to save the car. Go. Go. Did you swap bodies?

[01:25:38]It was L. L is the one who forgot to fill up the gas. It's >> It's really no problem. Are you in neutral?

[01:25:44]>> I will be. I just feel fairly bad that you had to come save me because uh Okay, neutral, go.

[01:25:51]>> I've been so organized and I put it in my planner to go fill up gas, but then Elle took the car. And Brandon, Brandon, are are you okay?

[01:26:11]What about Dr. Martinez?

[01:26:13]>> I'm not dating Dr. Martinez.

[01:26:20]And you know, I don't care if you run out of gas every week for the rest of your life, mayor. I've loved every passionate, messy part of your personality ever since we met. So, use a planner all you want, but don't change.

[01:26:44]>> Did you fall on purpose to lure me into your clutches?

[01:26:47]>> What?

[01:26:48]>> Wet shirt.

[01:26:50]>> Oh, well, no. I did not do it on purpose. You know, I'm not sorry.

[01:26:58]Eddie.

[01:27:08]>> L.

[01:27:10]Hey, I really need to talk to you.

[01:27:11]>> I don't have a boyfriend.

[01:27:13]>> Oh, good. I'm >> I really like you and and Peggy said you asked about me and so I was hoping you'd be at the bookstore and you are. I don't know. I just had to come and tell you before I talked myself out of it. I really really like you, Eddie.

[01:27:26]Oh gosh. And I'm so sorry about Lucy.

[01:27:29]You must be devastated. You don't have to.

[01:27:30]>> I broke off the wedding. I don't know.

[01:27:33]After seeing you the other day, I knew I wanted to be with you.

[01:27:42]>> Sorry.

[01:27:43]>> I'm not.

[01:27:51]>> I'm so sorry. I was so stupid. You kind of blindsided me with your charm and I did not handle it well. Forgive me, please.

[01:28:01]>> Forgiven.

[01:28:07]>> I don't know what this looks like for us. I mean, I I I live in Michigan.

[01:28:11]>> Oh, and I took that publishing job after all.

[01:28:15]>> You did? Yeah.

[01:28:23]So, we'll just have to wing it. It's this new thing I'm trying and so far it's worked out pretty well for me.

[01:29:33]Wind in my fingertips warm on this summer evening.

[01:29:43]I don't know where we're headed to.

[01:29:47]And the road up ahead doesn't seem to move. But I love any view that's with you.

[01:30:01]I love any view.

[01:30:15]We can't feel our feet.

[01:30:18]But it's worth the tops of these mountain peaks.

[01:30:24]Sleeping under stars so bright that I can't sleep tonight.

[01:30:33]But I love any view that's with you.

[01:30:41]I love any view.

[01:30:45]So let's take the long way home.

[01:30:50]Discover long lost road.

[01:30:56]Oh, out and this midnight drive by your side.

[01:31:03]Let's ride till we see sunlight.
