Taxi!

It'll be Sterling Summit
Capital's best year yet.

Thanks for coming.

- See you after the break.
- Kate Stone.

Executive VP of our
Distressed Properties division.

- Congratulations.
- Thank you, sir.

It's well deserved.

I mean, your eye for seeing the potential

in distressed properties has skyrocketed

over the last couple of years.

You've done a tremendous job.

Thank you so much.

So, hey, am I taking
Harvey's job, though?

I mean, did he retire?

No, he did not.

He is actually working more from home.

He wanted to take
a step back for family time.

And he doesn't handle
pressure the way you do.

Right.

So I understand that
you're heading to a spa retreat

for your Christmas break.

- Yes, I am.
- Well, okay.

That means you'll come back
recharged for more hours,

more work, and more success next year.

Yes. Thank you.

Enjoy yourself.

Yes.

More headaches?

Ah, comes with the job.

Hey, did we ever get
the signed escrow papers back

from that place in the mountains?

You never stop working. I love it.

But, yes, the Merry Mountain Inn
should be in your inbox.

Good, good.

The pictures are amazing.
They have this parlor room.

Getting to work with properties like that,

it is the best part of this job.

And you're stopping by there
next week after the spa, right?

I am so jealous, by the way.

Yeah, it's actually not far.

I get a chance to see
the property in person.

Meet the owners. The Millers, I think?

Oh, by the way, your parents
left a message during the party.

They said that they've landed
in Botswana,

and they will see you Christmas Day.

For church and presents. Yep.

They're doing an African safari.

- Off the grid.
- Hmm.

Off the grid.

- Sounds nice, doesn't it?
- Hmm!

You could be off the grid at that spa.

Just turn your phone off.

Done.

Maybe I will.

- Hey, coz.
- Hey.

Ooh, it's looking good.

- Yeah, thanks.
- Yeah.

Hey, any bookings today?

I don't think so, but you should
ask your mom and dad.

They're upstairs
eating a caramel yule log.

All happily in love.

- All in love, huh?
- Yeah.

Man, they make it look so easy.

- Way too easy, right?
- Yeah.

Hey, how was
your date last night?

- Uh, it was nice.
- You liked her?

No, I mean, the pasta was good.
She was nice.

It was... Look, it just wasn't right, okay?

I appreciate what you're doing.
Just no more setups.

No more setups. I got it.

- Okay.
- I want you to be happy

- and find your person.
- I am happy, okay?

I just haven't clicked
with anybody yet. All right?

You did click with somebody once.

Yes, you did. Don't give me that look.

You did too click with somebody.

What was her name?
Um, the girl in business school.

- From a long time ago.
- Katie?

- Yeah. Whatever happened to her?
- Oh, my... That's...

The last I heard, she was
living it up in the city.

Yeah, you used to be
so in love with her, though.

You know what? Ancient history, okay?

- Yeah.
- Yeah, I'll see you inside.

See you later.

Wow, it's so good.

Hey, there you guys are.

Hey, honey.
You want a piece of yule log?

- It's my newest recipe.
- Yes, please.

Don't have to ask me twice.

How'd it go
at the church this morning?

Uh, it's great. Yeah. Greg and I are trying

to get that Reno done before Christmas.

Well, they're lucky to have you guys.

Well, you know,
we've been having a slow week.

- Thank you.
- Mm-hm.

So we are glad to help.

Hey, listen, uh, Brooke mentioned

that there weren't
any more reservations coming in.

I know it's been tough
since Harrison Farms

moved out of state,
but we got to do something.

Can you imagine after 40 years?

With their quarterly events

we only needed a few guest reservations

to stay afloat.

We can find you another
client just like that, okay?

But in the meantime, I think that maybe

we should up your marketing...

What was that? What's the look?

- There's no look.
- What look?

There was a look, okay?

Come on, spill the beans.

Who wants to go first?

- We stopped taking reservations.
- What?

We were gonna talk to you.

When?

We were trying to find a good time.

Okay, front entrance is all done.

Thank you. Take a seat, honey.

- Okay.
- Yeah. Join this conversation.

What's going on?

We told you about the company

interested in buying the inn.

- Yeah.
- Well, we went ahead

with the sale of the property.

We signed a contract last night.

Wait, what, you signed last night?

Yeah, you mentioned it,
but, like, I didn't think

that you were ready
to pull the trigger on this.

It's a lot to maintain with less income.

We stopped hiring housekeeping service.

We closed the parlor and other rooms.

And your dad almost threw
his back out the other day

trying to fix the radiator.

What? Why don't you call me?

Well, we just...
We're ready to take it easy.

Your mom wants to go back to baking

and gardening like she used to.

And your dad wants to get back

to tinkering antiques like he used to.

Okay, but you guys can do those
things without selling the inn.

I mean, look, I can come and help more.

Okay? I'll do that.
And I don't know, Brooke,

do you maybe have time to help more?

Yeah, of course. I mean,
I can make my own hours

- at the accounting firm. I can.
- Brooke.

- You already have a career.
- I know, but...

- We can help.
- Emmett.

You own a construction company.

You can't possibly run that
as well as the inn.

Listen. If this is gonna be

our last Christmas at the inn,

why don't we make the best of it?

Why don't you stay here for the week.

It'd be a lot safer
with the storm coming in.

- She's right.
- We might need the extra help.

That's a good idea.

And you could
stay here, too, honey.

This is a family-run business.

And you're family.
And it's Christmastime.

You're right, Mom.
It is a family-run inn.

And I think it should stay like that.

Don't sell. Not yet, okay?

At least give me a chance
to stop this sale,

just to see if it's possible.

Okay? And then we'll figure out

a schedule where we can all help.

And we'll do what we got to do
to muster up more business.

Well, we already signed,

but I don't think it's gonna hurt to ask.

If you feel strongly about it.

I do.

Now, what's the name of the
company that wants to buy it?

Sterling Summit Capital Group,

how may I help you?

I'm sorry. He's out.

Most are out for the holidays.

Mm-hmm.

- May I help you?
- Hi there.

Yes, name's Emmett Miller.
Pleasure to meet you.

I am here to speak
to whoever's in charge

of the acquisition of my parents' property.

It's the Merry Mountain Inn.

That would be Kate Stone.

Let me see if she's available.

Like Katie Stone?

Kate Stone.

Kate Stone.

Yes.

Kate Stone.

I'm sorry, who?

He says that he's the son of the Millers,

who are selling the Merry Mountain Inn.

- Emmett Miller.
- Emmett Miller.

Yeah.

Emmett Miller?

Yeah.

Uh, send him in.

Okay.

- Follow me.
- Yes, ma'am.

That's good.

Kate... Kate Stone. Katie.

- Thank you, Maggie.
- Mm-hmm.

Emmett.

Katie.

Oh, it's Kate now.

Wow.

What's it been, like, 15 years?

Yeah, 15 years.

Aren't you supposed
to be overseas somewhere?

Retired last year, actually.

Started my own construction business.

I thought duty first.

That's funny.

That's actually
what I called my company.

Duty First Construction.

- Wow.
- Yeah.

Well, I figured after 25 years of service,

maybe it was time to be
a little closer to my parents.

You look great.

Thank you.

I can't get over the beard.

I know, right? Me either.

Uh...

Well, I mean, look at all this.

You're like a big fancy...

I'm a distressed property buyer.

That. Yeah.

I was gonna say you kind of
look a little stressed.

Only you would make that joke.

No, only because I thought
it'd make you smile.

You always were good at that.

I'm sure you got someone else
to make you smile these days.

Oh, I'm...

I'm fine.

- Yeah, I'm fine. Yeah, good.
- Good.

Good.

- Yes. Good.
- Good.

- Mm-hmm.
- I mean, are you, though?

'Cause, I mean, like, the girl
I remember, she loved Christmas.

So I'm looking around here and I'm like,

where's your Christmas decorations?

I have a wreath.

Yeah.

You know, I'm pretty busy, so...

Right. Yeah.

I'm sorry. Why are you here, exactly?

Right, I'm sorry.

Look, I was just wondering
if maybe you'd be open

to discussing, you know,
the purchase of my parents' inn.

Did your parents change their mind?

No, not exactly.

But this isn't a done deal yet, right?

Well, I'll be there to see the property

and make my final decision next Friday.

I can talk to them then.

Okay, but you're not
willing to talk to me now?

- You're not the seller.
- Okay. But you bought a property

and signed the papers without
even having a look at it?

I don't spend time driving out to a property
unless I already know I can have it.

You know, Emmett,
your parents called us.

Yes, they did.

Well...

You were always a go-getter, so...

Looks like you got everything
you ever wanted.

Not everything, Emmett.

Katie.

Hey, come on.

Look, you had
all these plans and dreams.

And they were good.
You didn't want to be going

from base to base, year after year.

It's not the life for you, right?

You didn't want that, did you?

I mean, look at this, right?

I guess you decided for both of us.

Katie.

Kate.

You know, I have
a lot to do, Emmett, so...

Well, would you still be open to just...

At least discussing this on Friday

when you come to the property?

I'm not sure that's a good idea.

Why not?

I know it was a long time ago,

but what we were
meant something to me.

Even if it didn't
mean much to you.

Hey, no, it did mean something.

I can't do this. I'm sorry.

I'd rather you not be there next week.

- Katie...
- Please.

Okay.

Thank you.

Sure thing.

It's me.

- Oh. Come in.
- I was gonna take off.

Um, are you okay?

Yeah.

Oh.

Uh, the meeting.

You were listening.

And taking notes like usual.

I'm so sorry you had to hear all that.

Emmett and I dated years ago.

Opposites attract.

Yeah.

He was stationed at Fort Hamilton,

and he was wearing his uniform.

And he was so charming and kind.

It was love at first sight.

At least for me.

I mean, we only dated four
months before he shipped out,

but I was convinced he was the one.

And then he just ended it.

But, I mean, clearly,
we're very different people.

And I'm sure it wouldn't have worked out.

What a way to kick off the holidays.

But soon you'll be at that spa,

and you can forget about everything.

Yes. Yes.

I need a break from my life.

I think you'll get one.

From your lips to God's ears.

Thanks for tuning in this week.

And this Christmas season,
if things feel stressful

from time to time,

take a moment to give yourself grace.

And remember that the best way
to relax is to trust God.

Listen to His guidance,
and let Him do the rest.

Listen, huh? I'll do my best.

Oh, cool. See you in a week,
Merry Mountain Inn.

Okay.

Nineteen more minutes.

All right, I got this.

♪ ...brightly shining ♪

♪ It is the night ♪

♪ Of our... ♪

Good morning.

Can you hear me?

Do you know where you are?

Careful.

You're at the Merry Mountain Inn, dear.

Do you know your name?

My name? Of course.

It's, um...

I don't know.

Can you tell me anything about yourself?

No.

Do you remember
how you got here?

Uh...

It's okay, I'm just gonna check your vitals

and make sure everything's
still stable, okay?

Okay.

Don't worry.

Hey, Mom? Dad? Where are you at?

We're up here, sweetie.

- Hey, there you guys are.
- Hey.

So, what... What's going on?

Late last night,

the sheriff found a woman
walking along the road.

He thinks she might have been
in an accident of some kind.

Well, any idea where she came from?

They don't know. They can't find the car.

I mean, with this blizzard.

The car went into a ditch
along the highway.

No telling when it might be recovered.

Okay, well, I mean,

how'd she end up here at the inn?

Paramedic buddy of mine
called at 2 a.m.

The clinic was past the bridge.
Didn't want to risk the trip.

That and the north bridge
are closed now.

Iced over.
But we have plenty of room here.

- Is she doing okay?
- Doctor seems to think so.

She said nothing serious, no concussion,

but she seems pretty out of it.

Yeah, some sort of amnesia.

The poor thing.

She has no ID with her either.

Amnesia?

Hi.

Hey.

Sorry to bother you.

But, like, why do I know
that this is called a bed,

and that two plus two is four,

but I don't know my own name?

It sounds like those are two
different parts of the brain.

That's true.

- Thank you. Emmett.
- You're welcome.

But why don't I remember
anything about, like, me?

It's post-traumatic memory loss.

It typically affects personal,

not global memories and not skills.

For example, you might not remember

what kind of car you own,

but you'll remember how to drive it.

Indeed. Thank you, Emmett.

How long will this last?

A few days to maybe a week.

It's hard to say.

Oh...

The more you stay relaxed, the better.

Objects, sounds, even smells
can trigger memories.

Just get some rest.

Let me know if there's any changes,

and I'll come back
to check in on you soon.

Okay.

Thank you.

Yeah. Come on, go.

Try to keep her peaceful.

It's important for her brain

during this recovery process.

No stress of any kind.
We want her happy and relaxed.

We'll take good care of her.

I asked the sheriff
to keep an eye out

for any missing persons
report in the area.

If he hears anything, he'll be in touch.

And right before Christmas.

Thank you.

Of course.

All right. Whew!

- It's a beauty.
- Ooh, yeah.

A lot more room for meal prep.

Hey, I hear there's been some
excitement down at the inn.

Really? What are you hearing?

Oh, my wife's Bible study tends
to segue from the scripture

to talk about important town events.

There's a new woman in town

that was the topic
of conversation this morning.

To be honest,
I don't know what I'm gonna do.

What's going on?

Remember Katie?

- Katie.
- Yeah.

"Katie I dated a long time ago
before I shipped out" Katie?

Oh, "you're the one that got away" Katie.

- That's the one.
- Yeah.

I remember you talking about her.

Yeah, well,

she's the one at the inn with amnesia.

- Wow.
- Yeah.

Doesn't remember anything
about herself or me

or the company she works for
that's about to buy the inn.

Oh, it gets better.

I can't tell her anything about it.

Doctor's orders.

They don't want us to stress her out.

And the thing is, man,
I just saw her yesterday.

- Yesterday?
- Yesterday.

So I drove all the way downtown

going to this big fancy office building.

I want to stop the sale, right?

Well, guess who's in there? Katie.

Professionally known as Kate now.

And she's the one
in charge of everything.

I mean, what are the chances?

How did the meeting go downtown?

Oh, man. Not good.

She basically told me
she didn't want to see me again.

And if I'm being honest...

I've always regretted
how that relationship ended.

Remind me.

She was great.

We were great.

I mean, she was a student.

And she got her MBA.

And all these Manhattan firms
started offering her

these amazing jobs.

I was a working-class sergeant
at the time.

I'm bouncing around from base to base.

She started soaring up
the corporate ladder

like she was on fire.

She'd have lost all that with me.

So, wait.

She was willing to follow you,
and you broke up with her?

Yeah.

I didn't think she'd be happy with that life.

I wasn't sure she'd be happy with me.

Man, but it was good to see her.

How am I supposed to be
around her this whole time

and just, like, say nothing

about what's happening right now?

Yeah.

I just want to do the right thing.

You're protecting her health, aren't you?

That is doing the right thing.

I hope so.

Kind of feels like a second chance.

One that I do not deserve.

Just look at this time as a gift.

Focus on helping her, and

let the big guy take care of the rest.

Here we go.

Dinner is served.

- Looks amazing.
- So good.

- Mm-hmm.
- Thank you.

Oh, thank you, Mom.

Yes. You're welcome.

Hello.

- Hi.
- Oh, hi.

- Hey, how are you?
- You're just in time.

Please sit down.

This is our niece, Brooke.

Hi. It's nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

- Well, hands.
- Yeah.

Yeah.

Thank you, Lord, for the food.

Bless the hands that made it,
bless the family

and our new mystery visitor.

- Amen.
- Amen.

Amen.

What should we call you, dear?

Until you can remember your name.

Oh, uh...

I'm open to suggestions.

Well, how about Norma?

- That's my mother's name. Norma.
- Oh, we know.

Honey, does she look like a Norma?

- Maybe not.
- No.

How about Samantha?

What about something medieval,
like Guinevere?

What about Katie?

Katie.

I like it.

Well, welcome to the family, Katie.

Yes. Thank you.

- Yeah.
- Cheers.

Katie, how about after dinner,
I bring up some pajamas?

I think we're about the same size.

- That would be wonderful.
- Great. Okay.

And then maybe tomorrow,
if the weather calms down,

we can take a walk into town,

and we can see about getting you
some new clothes.

Thank you all for everything.

I just... I don't know how to repay you

for my beautiful room and all this food

and whatever you'd be buying me,

because I don't have any money.

Don't concern yourself
with that. You're fine.

Yeah, all we want
is for you to get better.

Hmm?

Well, maybe I can help out
with the guests.

Just, like, help out
during their stay somehow.

Well, the doctor said
you're supposed to be relaxing.

And besides, you're kind
of the only guest right now.

Yeah, true story.

Yeah.

We're selling the inn.

Mom.

I don't think she wants to be bothered

with family business right now.

Oh, it's okay.

- Your inn is so beautiful.
- Thank you.

I'm sure you've brought a lot of joy

to a lot of people at Christmastime.

And the new owner will as well.

- Oh.
- Yeah.

- Thank you.
- Cheers.

- I think it's time to eat.
- Oh, yes.

I was just gonna say mashed potatoes.

Uh, roast beef, salad. Please.

Right here.

Hey.

Wow, looks like you two
had a very successful day.

We did. You said you
felt a little more like you now.

- Right?
- I think so.

- Good.
- Whoever that is.

Got new shoes, new clothes, new purse.

I don't have much
to put in the purse just yet.

- Not yet.
- But at least I have one.

That's the spirit.

Okay, I'm gonna go work
on those end-of-year invoices,

and I'll see you later.

- Okay.
- Thanks, honey.

All right.

Okay.

Um, well, what can I do?

Absolutely nothing.

You must be exhausted

after a day like today.

I... I really want to contribute somehow.

It's the least I can do. And, you know, I...

I actually think it might
help me feel better.

Sold.

Now if you'll excuse me,

I have a date with a very
finicky hot water heater.

- You can start here.
- Okay.

We're trying to get the inn
looking as beautiful as we can

before the buyer arrives next week.

All right. Will do.

If you don't mind my asking,

why are you guys selling?

This place is incredible.

Well, we lost the folks
that kept us the busiest.

It's probably for the best.

Why do you say that?

I think Ron is ready to start relaxing.

He's worked so hard for so many years.

Hmm.

Hi.

- Hi.
- What are you doing?

Cleaning the floor.
What do you think?

I think I can't get over
how different you seem.

Different from what?

From yesterday, I guess.

- Oh.
- Yeah.

Well, I am feeling much better.

Really? That's good.

- You got any new memories?
- Sort of.

So this soap, the smell of it
reminded me of something.

I think my high school?

- It was probably the same soap.
- Maybe.

I had this flash of getting
my report card, I think.

And I... I think I was
a pretty good student.

Oh, I bet you were a high achiever.

Yes, sir. And I'm gonna get this
floor as sparkling as it can be.

I mean, they look amazing.

Well done.

Thank you.

It is so beautiful here.

I just...

Oh, nothing.

What?

Well, just, like, if there was just like

a couple more Christmas trees,
but it's fine.

You want to go
Christmas tree shopping?

Can we?

- Absolutely.
- Really?

Supposed to be a break
in the weather this evening.

♪ Winter came In a gust of brisk wind ♪

♪ Blowing snowflakes... ♪

You're getting another memory?

No, but I love this.

It smells like...

Like pine?

I was gonna say it smells like...

Like magic and comfort
all at the same time.

I might not know much about myself,

but I know I love Christmas.

Yes, you do.

I mean, it's like, you know,

it's evident that you love Christmas.

Anyway, listen, why don't we go
all out at the inn?

Huh? I mean, you've worked
so hard to clean it up.

Let's just buy a bunch of trees.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

- Pick what you like.
- I mean, these all look great.

That big one would be perfect
for the entryway.

Yes, it would.

But I don't have any way to contribute.

It's all gonna be expensive.

Hey, don't worry about it, okay?

My company has had
an incredible first year.

And to be honest,
my parents will love this.

Let's do it.

Don't you think the buyer will love it too?

Yes, I do.

Well, it's gonna take them
a while to process this order.

You want to grab some hot chocolate?

- Yes.
- After you, ma'am.

Oh. Thank you.

- Here you are.
- Thank you for this.

Oh, you don't have to keep thanking me.

- I'll pay you back whenever...
- No, honestly.

No need to say that, okay? I got you.

I keep getting these whiffs of familiarity.

Almost like déjà vu.

But I don't know what any of it means.

Hmm, well, doctor's orders. Right?

Just relax. Enjoy life. Be spontaneous.

All right? No overthinking.

Yeah?

Just do whatever you feel like.

Okay. I feel like getting to know you.

Tell me about yourself.

Uh, I'm a pretty simple guy.

Twenty-five years in the Marines,

and I like my coffee black.

Thank you for your service.

I own two pairs of shoes.

I own my own construction company.

Never been married,

therefore no kids.

Are you seeing anyone?

Nah.

I mean, I've dated here and there,

but when I was overseas,

I just moved around too much.

Now that I'm back here, well,

I just kind of focus on work
and volunteering at the church.

Come on, I can't believe

you've never been
in a serious relationship.

No. Why would you say that?

Well, I mean, look at you.

You've clearly got your act together.

Retired military with your own company,

who's had an incredible year, by the way,

not to mention
your good looks and charm and...

I'm just...

I'm just saying
that you're a catch, obviously.

Like, objectively.

There was someone once.

Yeah, she was everything
I'd ever wanted.

It was love at first sight.

And she was warm
and caring and beautiful.

Oh, and she had these eyes.

Just...

Felt like you could get lost in them.

Whenever you talked to her,

just the way she looked at you,

the way she listened.

You just knew that you had
every ounce of her attention.

It's like the rest of the world
just disappeared.

Like none of it mattered.

What happened?

I made the biggest mistake of my life.

What did you do?

Nothing.

Did nothing.

She was this successful
business dynamo.

Just a world of possibilities ahead of her.

And I did not want her
to stop pursuing her dreams.

You know, just to follow me around.

But I've come to realize that that wasn't

just my decision to make.

Did you stay friends?

I hurt her pretty bad.

Biggest regret of my life.

Well, maybe it could still
work out somehow, someday.

If it was meant to be.

I guess this is the part
of the conversation

where I would reciprocate.

I would tell you about my first love.

My biggest regrets.

But I don't remember any of them.

I don't even remember
if I've ever been in love.

Are you kidding?

A catch like you?

This little beauty's
gonna hang right there.

That's beautiful.

Just needed to clear
the dust on the gears,

adjust the comb and then polish her up.

You know a lot about music boxes.

I love antiques.

Each one tells a story full of memories.

Well, I'm a little short on those.

Maybe I should go to an antique store.

I could spend all day in those places.

But my attic is full of them.

Pretty sure my grandparents
never threw anything out

the entire time they lived here.

Wait, your grandparents lived here?

Like, here, at this inn?

A lot of history in these walls.

But it's time to let it go.

Brooke helps us, does bookkeeping,

but Gail is ready to retire.

I can handle maintenance, storm prep,

backup generator, you name it.

But that leaves Gail to deal
with guests and marketing.

And we inherited
our big account that left town.

What do we know
about drumming up business

for a space this size?

Imagine that's a full-time job in itself.

Uh, my Gail,

she just loves to bake and garden.

Wait, so you're doing this for her?

Yeah, I just want her to spend
her time doing what she loves.

Well, she's lucky to have you.

Thank you.

Hey, there you are.

You seemed quiet at dinner.

Thought maybe you headed to bed early.

I read that puzzles are good for the brain.

I saw this on the shelf,
and I thought maybe it'll help.

You open to some company?

Sure.

I'll be honest.
I'm not really great at puzzles.

But, uh, you know what?

I think I'm just gonna find
that one right there.

I really like this room.

Yeah. It's nice, huh?

The parlor room.

My parents closed it earlier this year

as part of downsizing.

I wondered why it was a little dusty.

It's so cool, though.

I mean, we should polish this up
for the buyer, too, right?

Yeah.

What is it?

Nothing.

You don't want to sell, do you?

Not really, no.

Look, this place has been
in my family forever.

Then why have we been fixing it
so this buyer will love it?

Well, because decorating
was therapeutic for you.

And I want to see you feeling better.

And, to be honest,

I was having fun with you.

That's sweet,

but I don't think your parents
want to sell either.

I know, right? I was
surprised to see them sign.

There's got to be a way
to make this place successful.

I agree. It couldn't be
that hard to find new clients

to hold events in a gorgeous
place like this.

I wonder if there's a way out of the sale.

Do you think the buyer is reasonable?

Yeah. I'd like to think that she is.

What's her name?

Her name? Uh... I mean...

You know what?
I don't want to know her name.

Who buys a family inn
at Christmastime, anyway?

Let's just call her the Grinch.

The Grinch?

I... No, I don't think she'd like
to be called the Grinch.

Calling her the Grinch makes me happy.

Aren't you supposed
to keep me peaceful and happy?

I mean, you said it. The Grinch it is.

Well, maybe in the spirit of Christmas,

this Grinch will reconsider buying

when she sees how important
it is to all of you.

I think we can soften her heart,
don't you?

I'd sure like to try.

Hey. Morning.

- Morning.
- You're up early.

A Marine never retires.

Yeah. Hey, uh, so you've been
working pretty hard, right?

To get the inn ready to sell.

Yeah, I guess.

Yeah, right. It's just...

It's a little bit strange,
though, don't you think?

I mean, literally,
you were trying to stop the sale

a few days ago, so...

The doctor said we got to keep
Katie peaceful and happy.

Yeah. Peaceful, right.

Uh, what's really going on?

I've known you my entire life,
and I know when something's up.

Come on. Uh-huh.

Okay.

You remember the other day
how we were talking about

my ex-girlfriend from a long,
long time ago?

- Katie.
- Yeah.

- Katie.
- Katie.

- Katie?
- Katie.

What? No. Wait.

Are you saying
that this Katie is that Katie?

- Shh! Yes.
- What?

Well, why didn't you bring
her home all those years ago?

- She's awesome.
- She is.

But she, you know,
was about to graduate.

I was about to go on deployment.

Just figured, what's the point?

Oh. Right. And now doctor's orders.

So we've got to keep her
peaceful and stress-free.

I got it.

Probably something else
I should tell you.

Oh, no.

You know the company
that wants to buy the inn?

Yeah.

She works for them.

Wow, that's good.

Wow, you're a natural.

Why, thank you.

This is one of our favorite

family Christmas traditions.

Aunt Gail bakes

untold amount of Christmas cookies,

- and then we all decorate them.
- And usually we serve

untold amount of Christmas
cookies to the guests.

However, this year,

I guess we'll have to eat them all.

That sounds like a challenge.

Oh, you're on.

We started this

when Ron and I inherited the inn.

What was it, 33, 34 years ago?

This Christmas will be 35 years.

Now, you said your
grandparents lived here.

- They built this place.
- What?

My grandfather was
a successful railroad contractor

who knew the value
of building near the line.

My grandmother was in hospitality.

When the boom hit, it brought in
investors and city folks

who were looking for a place
to impress their colleagues.

My grandparents had this vision
of a seasonal mountain hotel,

not only for the investors
and their fancy parties,

but family-run and a wonderful
place for people to come

spend their Christmas holidays.

And that's how we got the name
the Merry Mountain Inn.

And they opened it...

Wow, uh, well, it was 100 years ago.

- Not exactly 100 years.
- Oh, yes.

- Mm-hm.
- Yeah.

What?

Well, we should celebrate.

A hundred years doesn't
come along every day.

I mean, I'm in.

We could serve the cookies.

Good.

And, Emmett, you could wear
your sharp uniform.

- Mom.
- Please?

I'll think about it.

Wait a minute.

Does the Grinch know about this?

Oh, um, sorry.

Last night Emmett and I were talking
about your buyer,

and I referred to her as the Grinch.

If we could somehow show the Grinch

the hundred-year-old history
of this place,

how it's steeped in family tradition

and how important it is to you guys,

and not just you,
probably the community as well.

Oh.

I'm sorry. It's... It's not my place.

No. Keep it going. I want to hear.

I thought... I thought you wanted to sell.

Well, I know it's time for us
to slow down and relax.

And you know I'd do anything for you.

For me? I don't want to slow down.

You keep talking about how hard
it is to keep this inn going.

Well, it is, but...

I wasn't kidding when I said I could help.

I wasn't kidding either.

Brooke, you said that
your company is restructuring.

- Right?
- Yeah.

Is there a world

where you work here full-time?

I mean, you could be in charge
of reception, welcoming guests,

even bringing in new business.
You're so charming and friendly.

I feel like you'd be a natural saleswoman.

- Really?
- Yeah.

And, Ron, you love antiques and history.

What if you could take guests
on tours to show them

historical sites around town,

like your favorite antique shops?

Sounds like fun. Yeah.

Gail, there is not one thing
you brought to the table

that I did not love.

What if you could bake full-time

and offer baking lessons,
even gardening lessons?

Oh, I like that. I like that.

As mentioned,
I don't want to brag,

but I can fix anything.

So I can be here
to help anytime, Dad, okay?

And to be honest with you,
I'm way better at fixing stuff

than decorating these cookies.

- So this could work.
- Yeah.

- Right?
- Yeah!

This is good.

I know how to stop the Grinch.

This is how we get the Grinch

to agree to cancel the sale.

We make this parlor a tribute
to your family's legacy.

And how do you propose to do that?

Well, imagine these walls
filled with historical facts

about the inn and pictures
of your great-grandparents.

She'll see it has to stay in your family.

Do you have news clippings
and photos somewhere?

We do. There's plenty in the attic.

Great. I do wish this room
had some place

for like a social gathering.

Maybe a bar.

If only we knew someone
who could build us one.

I might know a guy.

Sign me up.

Can we actually do this?

The meeting's in four days.

I can complete the bar by tomorrow.

Wow. Really?

- Wow.
- Before the Grinch even comes,

we can have our 100-year
celebration in here.

We'll call it the Merry Mountain
Christmas Centennial.

We'll keep it simple.

Have hot cider and cocoa at the bar.

Cookies.

- Lots of cookies.
- Yeah.

We'll play fun Christmas music.

It'll be dessert and dancing in the parlor.

And all surrounded
by your family's legacy.

We'll get the support of the community.

Maybe we'll even drum up
some new business.

Well, I have a photographer I know.

I could have them come take pictures

of the inn during the party.

I could post them on our website.

People are gonna want
to get married here

when they see how beautiful it is.

Are we actually gonna do this?

- I'm in if you're in.
- I'm in if you're in.

I'm in if you're in and you're in.

We're in.

I think we're all in.

Do you want to go to town
for some party supplies?

- Yeah.
- Okay. Let's go.

See you.

I think she's gone.

Right. Yeah.

Thanks for taking a break
from building the bar.

Yeah.

Here we are.

Wow.

Your dad wasn't kidding.

His grandparents saved everything.

Yeah.

I guess you'll have to clear
all this out if it sells.

Yeah, I guess so.

So is it okay
to just open boxes and whatever?

- Go for it.
- Okay.

Have fun.

Oh, no way.

Whoa.

Look at this.

That was my mother's
grandparents' Bible.

- Yeah?
- I remember this when I was as a kid.

Wow.

Ooh! Look at the size of that thing.

That is cool.

There's, like, things in it.

Wow.

1919?

What?

"Tokens of Christmas"?

I didn't realize it dated
all the way back till then.

Okay, I mean, this was
a family tradition of ours

since before I can remember,

but 1919? Okay, that's old.

Hey, what is it?

I just...

I don't remember

if I go to church

or...

Like, do I pray?

Am I good at it?

You know, my mom always used to say

that when you're praying to God,

it's not always about the talking.

It's more about the listening.

And you seem like
a pretty good listener to me.

- I do?
- Yeah.

You do.

You know what? This service
is actually tomorrow night.

Would you like to come?

I'll have to check my busy schedule.

Sure, I don't know.

Okay.

I'd love to.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Okay.

Well, let's keep treasure hunting.

I love these photos.

So great.

This is such great stuff.

Oh, my goodness.

- Are you kidding me?
- What do you got?

This is an article
from when the inn first opened.

I am gonna put this in a frame

next to pictures
of your great-grandparents.

- Yes.
- I think you should do it.

Oh, my goodness.

This is a hotel guest book.

There are entries
in here from the '20s and '30s.

We are definitely
putting this on display too.

Done. Hey, you know what?

I think my dad and I could fix this up.

And maybe these skis.

Put them up the parlor.

- That's perfect.
- Okay.

I wonder...

I wonder if I do restorations

or something like that.

I just feel like this is
connecting me to who I am.

Oh.

You okay?

Yeah.

Yeah. That was weird.
It was like a little headache.

You sure you're fine?

Yeah, no, I was just...

Like, I was starting
to remember something, and...

Okay, well, I mean, we can
take a break, grab a water.

No, no. I'm fine. I'm good, I'm good.

Just...

Maybe I'm not ready
to remember who I am.

Hey.

Just take your time.

No rush.

You know what I think I need?

More Christmas decoration therapy.

Okay.

Done.

Pretty cozy, right?

It's perfect.

I believe I have discovered
something else about myself.

Really? What is it?

I love s'mores.

And... And fireplaces.

And this.

All of this.

Well, all this suits you.

What if I never get my memory back?

Hey, don't say that. You will.

- You think so?
- Yeah, I do.

Just let it play out.

Don't put so much pressure on yourself.

But it's frustrating.
I don't know how to move forward

if I don't know my past.

Does that make sense?

Yeah.

Okay, well, think of it like this, right?

I mean, everyone out in the world

is always trying to live
in the present moment.

Okay? Except you, Katie,

well, you, uh...

You can't be burdened
with regrets from the past

or worries about the future.

You literally have to live in the moment.

You have no choice.

I guess I got that going for me.

But I don't know who I am.

I know who you are.

You do?

Yeah, I do.

You're kind, you're caring. You're helpful.

Whenever anyone's around you,
you make them feel good.

Look, who you are,

it's not just a collection
of your memories.

How did you do that?

Do what?

Make it somehow better.

Katie, you're gonna be just fine.

Okay?

I may not know who I am,

but I know how I feel when I'm with you.

- Hmm.
- Uh...

We have another big day tomorrow.

Yes.

Um, so...

Good night, Katie.

Good night.

- Morning.
- Morning.

Thought I'd get started on this
counter, but then I realized...

That I had to bring the drill back.

Yeah.

You okay?

How long you been here?

Not long.

Maybe a while.

You know I can finish
the kitchen myself, right?

What are you talking about?

Just with everything going on in your life,

is this where you should be?

Where else should I be?

Emmett.

Yeah. You're right.
I don't know what my problem is.

I know exactly where I should be.

Thank you.

- Hey!
- Hey.

- Missed you at breakfast.
- Yeah.

Um...

Look, Katie, we need to talk.

Last night...

It was a mistake.

I'm so sorry.

Wow.

Okay.

Look, the doctor says
that you're fragile right now,

and I just think that maybe

throwing a relationship into the mix

isn't a good idea right now.

Plus, when you get your memories back,

things could change, right?

I mean, you might remember
things that change how you feel.

Right? And for all we know,

you might have feelings
for someone else.

I hadn't thought of that.

Yeah, so I'm just saying,
maybe we don't go down a road

that might have a cliff at the end of it.

You know, maybe we just hold off.

Like, just...

Just for now.

Okay.

Okay.

How about some therapy?

You mean decorating?

Yeah. Yeah, you know,
is there any other kind?

Well, we do have a big event
to prepare for.

Yes, we do.

- Look at that.
- Oh, I love it.

- That's perfect.
- We'll see you then.

Thank you.

We just got our first booking in January.

Excellent.

We haven't even had the party yet.

Well, my hairdresser sister's cousin,

she has an online Bible study,

and I told her all about
the parlor and the family Bible.

Well, we got our banners.

Nice work, coz.

Thank you.

Good as new.

My grandma's smiling
somewhere right now.

She loved this clock.

Hey, guys. Look. Coming soon.

The Merry Mountain Inn activity center,

where we bring you
into our family traditions

and offer treasured experiences

that celebrate the inn's rich history.

The buyer will know this place
has to stay with you guys.

I'm sure of it.

Yeah.

I don't think I've ever seen
this place look so good.

I can't thank you enough.

Well, it's all Katie.

I'm just following orders.

That's a smart move, son.

I've been doing the same with your mom

since the day we met.

You and Katie seem
to have really hit it off.

Seems like you guys
have known each other forever.

Yeah, that's probably because
there's some history there.

What are you talking about?

You remember Katie
from a long time ago,

the one I broke up with right
before I deployed to Germany?

Oh.

I remember you talking about her.

You fell hard for her, as I recall.

Yeah.

Same Katie who also happens
to be the buyer.

The buyer?

- Of our inn?
- Yep.

Well, I'll be.

Yeah.

Does your mother know about this?

No. I haven't found a way to tell her yet.

Brooke knows, you know.

Well, if it's any easier, I can
talk to her and explain things.

She always figured you two
would end up together.

She said you were happiest
when you were dating that girl.

Yeah, everyone seemed
to see that except for me.

It might not be too late.

I see the way she looks at you.

- You want to grab a seat?
- Yeah.

Here you are. Tokens of Christmas.

Oh. Thank you.

Take one. They all say
something different on them.

I got "joy."

Oh, look, we both got "love."

- Hey.
- Merry Christmas.

- Hey. What's up, Greg?
- Hey.

Katie, this is Greg. Greg. Katie.

That's my business partner.
That's his wife.

- Nice to meet you.
- It's good to see you both.

Early birds like us.

It's my favorite service of the year.

- It's always about forgiveness.
- Mm.

A message worth hearing every time.

Yeah.

This is why we come early.

I know this song.

I love this song.

♪ The stars Are brightly shining ♪

♪ It is the night ♪

Dear Katie,

if you're reading this letter,
you finally know the truth.

The truth I've been keeping from you

because I honestly believed

it was best for your health
not to be trapped

with someone you never
wanted to see again.

I made the biggest mistake of
my life when I gave up on us.

That's clear now.

This has been the best week of my life.

And no matter what happens,

I will always treasure
this time we've had together.

I love you, Katie, with all my heart.

Emmett.

Oh, yes.

Okay, so I've been inviting some
corporate folks to the party.

I mean, you never know, right?

Maybe they're looking for an event space

or a place to hold a company
retreat or something.

- That's great.
- Hold on a second.

The sale won't go through
if it's Katie, right?

No. I mean, even if she doesn't
get her memory back,

the company could still buy it.

Which means we're not off the hook yet.

That's true.

I just can't believe it's...

You know...

- Mom, you...
- She's...

- Oh, my...
- No, no.

We're not gonna talk about that, right?

So when she walks in, you just say

- good morning.
- Good morning.

Oh, hello!

Good morning!

- Hi!
- Katie's here.

- Yeah!
- Good morning, everyone.

We're just talking about you
before you came down.

Yeah, we were.

Dad was just actually saying

how much he appreciated
how we decorated the parlor.

- Oh.
- I said it's like the two of you

have known each other forever.

Mm-hmm.

I actually feel the same way.

Mm-hmm.

Are you okay?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine.

- It's good.
- Okay, good.

It's good.

- Good.
- Okay. Great.

So I was thinking tonight at the party,

we should all keep our eyes open,

not just for potential corporate clients,

but also in case
there's anything we should do

or fix before the Grinch
comes in a couple days.

- Yeah, that's a great idea.
- Absolutely.

- So smart. I love that.
- That's a good idea.

- Yeah.
- It feels right.

- Right?
- Yes.

Yeah.

Any other thoughts on what
we should do to prepare?

Um... Um...

- Maybe she won't even show up.
- You know what?

Right. The holidays, they're just...

They're a really terrible time
for meetings.

- Really. Just awful.
- She might forget.

- I forget all the time.
- You do.

Yeah, and she might be going
out of town for business

in another town doing business.

Different business.

- Pass the hash browns?
- Sure. Yeah.

We got fruit. You want fruit?

- Bacon?
- Yeah, please. Yeah.

You want juice? We've got orange juice.

Apple juice. There's cranberry juice.

Vitals are looking normal.

Whatever you've been doing,
keep doing it.

No need to be overly cautious.
She's stronger now.

That's great.

Um, will my memory return soon?

I've gotten a couple
of flashes here and there,

but that's it so far,
and it's been almost a week.

Everyone's different.

And even after physically recovering,

some patients harbor emotional blocks,

and the memory takes its time.

Oh. Okay.

Keep making new memories.

Let this run its course.

You're in good hands here.

Yes, I am.

Listen, I got to get
more cookies out there.

The first tray is already gone.

Hey, uh, have you seen Katie?

I think she's still getting dressed.

She's been working so hard.

I said to take her time.

Okay.

You look so handsome.

She's gonna love it.

Well, I wore this for you, Mom.

Those are my grandfather's, early 1920s,

right about the time
he and my grandmother

were opening the Merry Mountain Inn.

Being here is like taking
a trip back in time.

- It really is.
- Hey.

Emmett, say hi to Jep and Jessica.

- How's it going?
- Hi. Nice to meet you.

Emmett is following
in my father's footsteps.

Dad served in Korea,
so I am a proud son and father.

Thank you for your service.

You know, we organize quarterly events

for the Veterans' Association
across town.

This will be a perfect venue.

That's a great idea.

It's an older crowd,
and they love nostalgia.

Well, we'd love to be considered.

Yeah, and speaking of nostalgia,
perhaps my father

can show them around town
to all the old antique shops.

- I think they'd enjoy that.
- Sounds great.

We'll definitely be in touch.

- This place is spectacular.
- Thank you.

Yeah, it's nice to bring the
past into the present, you know?

Well, it's a pleasure to meet you both.

- I'm gonna duck out.
- Okay, see you.

It's funny, I thought I read in the paper

that you guys are selling the inn.

Well, that story is still unfolding.

You look beautiful.

Thank you.

Love the uniform.

Thank you.

Oh, my gosh, they're gonna
be perfect for the website.

Oh, when you get a chance,
can you go take a couple

of the front entrance as well?

Thank you so much. I appreciate it.

- Freshly baked.
- Oh!

My aunt Gail bakes all
the desserts herself right here.

And you can sign up for her
baking classes if you want to.

Thank you.

- I'll see you later.
- It's going so great.

Someone just asked me about
coming here for a staycation.

- Aunt Gail, that's wonderful.
- What's a staycation?

It seems like this party is working.

I think so.

Hey, can I get you a drink?

Hm.

Not yet. Let's dance.

Oh, you know I can't dance.

What?

Do you remember the time...

I just... I just can't dance.

Everybody can slow dance.

You guys have a good night.
Get some rest.

I call that a success.

Absolutely.

Emmett.

Can we talk?

Yeah. Sure thing.

I had such an amazing time
with you tonight.

Yeah. Me too.

You know, the doctor said
I'm stronger now.

And you've been so wonderful
and protective of me.

But I don't think we need to treat me

like I'm so fragile anymore.

Unless you don't feel the same way.

No, I do.

- You do?
- Yeah.

Then what is it?

I know I don't know anything,
but in my gut,

I don't believe there's some
boyfriend waiting for me.

He would have sent
a search party by now.

Yeah.

I'm so tired of waiting
to find out who I am.

I just...

I want to start fresh.

With you.

Yeah.

I gotta tell you something.

- Okay.
- Okay.

In fact, I gotta show you something.

- Okay.
- Okay?

I'll just...

I'll just be a minute.

Kate Stone.

He says
he's the son of the Millers

who are selling the Merry Mountain Inn.

Emmett Miller?

- Hi.
- Hey.

What should we call you, dear?

What about Katie?

But I don't know who I am.

I know who you are.

- You do?
- I do.

I'm the Grinch.

That's who I am.

- Huh.
- Katie, no.

Well, Kate.

But, yeah, that's my name.

Of course, you knew that
the whole time, didn't you?

- Did they all know?
- Katie, we...

I felt that it was what was best for you.

- To lie to me?
- No.

It was never like that.

I'll call my assistant
first thing in the morning

and be out of your way.

How could you let me
fall in love with you?

I...

Taking off early?

I need to get back to the office.

Don't lose what you gained here.

Remember, sweetheart,
we're only human,

doing the best we can.

For when you're ready.

I don't know what he wrote,
but I know it's from the heart.

No, no, I don't think I could...

You could throw it away.

But please.

Take it.

Please.

Thank you for helping us.

Thank you for taking care of me.

Um...

Mountainside Car Rental?

Yes, please.

Huh.

Okay, we look forward to seeing you too.

Merry Christmas.

I've got the antique radio working.

Hi, honey.
How was everything at church?

Hey. Uh, yeah. It's good. Yup.

All done. Ready to serve the community.

- It must feel good.
- Yeah.

Another email reservation.

Yes!

Another one?

No. This one's from Katie.

What's it say?

She canceled the escrow.

That's good.

That's good, right?

- Yeah.
- That's what we wanted.

Got the inn back.

- Emmett?
- Yeah, no, it's fine, Mom.

I'm just gonna...

Just gonna grab some air.

Kate?

- Oh.
- Please.

I should have known you'd be here.

Showing up when no one else is around.

Shows me a lot about your character.

Thank you, sir.

So how did things go at the inn?

Did we close?

They had a change of heart.

It didn't seem right to push it through.

- Well, that's too bad, but...
- Yeah.

Well, I'm off to a family dinner,

so don't stay too late, huh?

It's Christmas.

Ah, it's all right.

You know, it took me a lot
of years to realize something.

I love my job.

I live for this place.

But, you know, taking a moment
to reflect on your success

with the people you love

that's the real success.

Sir, if I wanted to get away

or work remotely from time to time,

is that something you'd be open to?

Well, I wouldn't say this for just anyone,

but I have to believe that the new head

of our Distressed Properties division

would succeed wherever she works.

Thank you, sir.

Merry Christmas, Kate.

Merry Christmas.

Mom, hey.

It's so nice to have you here.

Sleep well.

Hey, Mom. Um...

Did you throw the trash out by chance?

Why? Was there something
in the trash that was important?

If you could just answer the question.

Did I throw the trash away?

Hmm.

Not exactly.

You're welcome.

Night.

Somewhere in here...

Oh, my goodness. Emmett.

- Hey. Morning.
- Morning to you.

It's 7 a.m. What, have you
been up for three hours now?

Yeah.
Hey, second pot of coffee's on,

- if you guys want any.
- You know us so well.

Merry Christmas Eve, family.

- Merry Christmas Eve, you guys.
- Merry Christmas.

Hey, listen, I'm gonna
head downtown, okay?

I just...

I need to see Katie, all right?
I'm gonna try.

You might not have to.

Those pancakes
aren't gonna flip themselves.

Yeah, I have to wrap a present.

Yeah. Look at the time.

Okay.

Hi.

Katie.

I mean, Kate.

Katie's okay.

Look, I am so sorry for everything, okay?

I'm sorry for making the decision

for both of us all those years ago.

And for doubting you
and for doubting us.

And in this past week,

I mean, honestly, I wanted
to tell you everything, okay?

Even with all of my memories back,

I still know this week was one
of the best weeks of my life.

Why would you apologize for that?

So, does that mean you forgive me?

You were doing your best.

I was thinking that maybe when
I get the inn back on its feet,

I could open another location
with my construction company

a little closer to the city.

Emmett, stop.

I want to be here.

- Really?
- Yeah.

I...

I like who I am here

with you.

I'm so glad you read that letter.

I didn't read the letter.

Then why?

Are you kidding?

A catch like you?

Merry Christmas, Katie.
