Coco. He's safe now.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I'm sorry.

The crew did the best we could, but the
living room's pretty flooded.

Also, the tree and the present couldn't
be saved.

But we did manage to salvage the
bedrooms and those big cases in your

office. We can't thank you enough.

You saved what matters most.

You're right.

Things can be replaced.

People can.

But still.

No one should have to lose out on
Christmas.

I'm very sorry.

Thank you.

Anne.

Danny.

You okay?

Yes, Chief.

You're holding my breath since you ran
back into the house. That's a bigger

fire than we've faced lately.

I'm fine, Dad.

I learned from the best.

Besides, no one's leaving anyone behind
on my watch.

Do you always have to make me proud and
worried at the same time?

Oh.

It's Valerie from LTV.

I bet half the neighborhood caught your
latest rescue on the phones.

She'll be wanting to talk to the chief.

Oh, no, honey, no. That's all you.
You've earned it.

Show me you're ready for a bigger
leadership position, especially if

you're serious about that fire captain
promotion.

Well, what about Tom there?

Yeah, how about Tom?

Tom's always happy to help.

Oh, I'm sure Tom would be, but talking
about yourself in third person is number

five on the no-go media training list.

Besides, we owe it to Danny. She's the
one that went back inside there and

showed this community that we're here
for them.

It's not wrong.

Go get them, kiddo.

Go get them. And here she is, the woman
of the hour, firefighter Danny Reed from

Station 11, who just saved the Lee
family, including their beloved dog.

What advice do you have for our viewers
about staying safe this holiday season?

Prevention is key.

Stop fires before they start.

And follow-up question.

How does it feel to be the hero of the
hour?

Well, thanks to the bravery of our crew,
everyone is safe.

I just wish we could have done more for
the family.

What more do you wish you could have
done?

Well, we can't change what happened, but
we can make sure that families like the

Lees feel the support of our town behind
them this Christmas.

I'd say...

We bring back the Holiday Heroes Charity
Drive.

Everyone deserves a safe and happy
holiday.

Wow.

There isn't much time left. Do you
really think you can still make a

difference? Well, if there's one thing I
know about Silver Pines, it's that we

all come together in times of need.

I think we can manage with everyone
working together.

Wow. Well, you heard it here, Silver
Pines. With less than two weeks till

Christmas, the Holiday Heroes Charity
Drive is back.

I'm Valerie Petrillo.

Signing off.

I

just

felt like we had to do more.

There's always that moment during a
fire, isn't there, when you think, how's

this family going to bounce back?

You did good, Danny.

I keep thinking about how you and Mom
worked so hard to make Christmas

mornings feel special, and how Mom made
volunteering a Christmas tradition,

especially when she started Holiday
Heroes.

She'd be proud of you today.

I miss that big heart of hers.

I haven't had it in me since she passed,
but if you want to take the lead on this

fundraiser, I've got your back.

Thanks, Dad.

It feels like a good way to honor a
memory.

It is.

Keep in mind, a lot of charities depend
on this time of year for their funding,

so you've got your work cut out for you.

Not to mention everything going on
around the station.

You sure it's not too much?

I can handle it, Dad.

It's good that you're stepping up,
especially with me moving up to District

Chief in the new year.

Station 11 is going to need a strong
fire captain.

And?

I'd love for it to be me.

But I'm worried the crew might not take
it well with me being the chief's kid

and all. I didn't say it was yours for
the taking. Right.

But you have worked very hard these last
seven years.

Maybe too hard sometimes.

Well, you better start planning. Figure
out how to get these people out to give.

Give what?

Holiday heroes.

Danny's bringing it back.

You in?

Absolutely.

Well, look at this. You see, this is the
kind of enthusiasm I'll be looking for

when I choose the new fire captain.

As district chief, I won't be able to
attend all the events or press

briefings. I'll need someone to
represent Station 11, but also someone

who can rally the community.

Well, if it helps with the promotion,
count me in.

Yes, I thought you might like that, Tom.
But also, helping the town is motivation

enough, right, Tom? Yes, yes. Also, the
town, yes. Yes. But Christmas is, what,

two weeks away? Mm-hmm. Where do we
start?

I have an idea on how to get things
going.

Danny! Saw you made the news last night.
Quite the hometown hero.

Thanks. Although not as glamorous as
Miss Event Planner to the stars.

It's Event Designer, and trust me, it is
far from glamorous. All work, no glory,

just demanding clients for days.

Looks like you're getting a lot of love
on the socials, going back for the

family dog, reviving the holiday hero's
drive.

I'm proud of you, sis.

Thanks.

I just keep thinking about that little
girl and her family.

Yeah, that's tough, especially this time
of year. I can't remember the last time

there was such a big fire.

So how can I help?

Hoping you can lend your expertise to
the cause.

Help us raise money for the Lee family
and any others in the community who

might need it.

Just like Mom and Dad used to do.

Well, it'll certainly be a walk down
memory lane. Mom had us pitching in from

the time we could talk.

I remember. You always got confused as
to why we couldn't take all the toys

home. We were just kids, and in my teeny
brain, I thought giving meant to me.

Well, that still tracks with your dating
life.

What can I say? Confidence is my love
language, and it never hurts to ask.

Speaking of, any eligible recruits at
the station?

Well, you know I'm not checking them
out.

But there's always Tom.

Tom?

Funny. Last time I saw him, he was
trying to ask me to prom with a fire

extinguisher. Points for effort.

He always knew he wanted to be a
firefighter, just like me.

At least now he can string a sentence
together.

Mostly. Sounds like a keeper. Most guys
these days think texts with emojis count

as emotional connection.

I wouldn't know.

It's been a while.

Well, we should change that.

I know someone you might really like.

Seriously? Are they okay with a
part-time relationship? Because I am

always working. Perfect. So is she.

Anyway, I know you're coming home for
Christmas, but is there any chance we

could get an early jump start to help
with the charity? You sure you can

afford me? I was hoping for the family
discount.

I've got a lot riding on that.

It's not just about reviving the
charity. I'm also going for the fire

captain promotion.

I need the team to know that I earned
it. You know, not just because I'm the

chief's kid.

I want to make a difference.

In my own way.

I am so proud of you.

This is a great step forward, and I
don't think it'll take much to prove

your worth.

Thanks, sis.

I really hope you're right.

Well, you are in luck. I have vacation
time and a team handling the Christmas

events at the agency.

I'll be there.

Yeah.

But fair warning, all the charities are
competing for donors this time of year.

I know.

Dad mentioned that, too.

Which is why we need to go big with
getting the word out online, on air, on

everything.

Actually, this might be a good chance
for you to get your feet wet with a

little media training.

Fire Captain means that you will be the
face of the team dealing with the press

at every scene and keeping the public
informed.

Yeah, it's a big part of the job.

To be honest, I'm still kind of getting
used to the idea.

I'm more of a behind-the-scenes person,
you know.

I'll walk you through it. You'll be
fine.

And I'll bring my photographer friend
from the agency to help.

Okay. You're the expert.

Don't worry, Lilith. I got you.

It's been a little quiet without you
here.

It's going to be so good to have you
home.

I can't wait either.

I love you.

Love you, too.

Bye.

Call Sasha.

Oh, I was just calling you. I heard.

So how's my latest photo draw?

Absolutely gorgeous, but... But? I was
hoping you could help me with a little

Christmas assignment.

I thought you left the Christmas events
division.

Think of it as a labor of love in a
charming destination you've always

wanted to visit.

Where? And why would I do this before my
trip to France?

No, it's not work.

More like holidays in my hometown,
helping the fire station with their

Christmas fundraiser.

Adorable.

You know I'm more of a champagne on ice
kind of gal, but yeah, I could be talked

into beer and holiday potluck.

Well, Miss Fancy Pants, need I remind
you who helped you with your first gig

at the Met Gala? No, but need I remind
you that I'm up for my dream job in

Paris in the new year and I could really
use a little holiday.

Partly why I hope you'll join me. This
could be our last chance to team up

before you leave.

You are going to miss me.

Of course I am. Plus, you're always
saying you've never had a small town

Christmas and you want to meet my
family, so here's your chance.

That's fair.

Yeah, and you know, the whole beach
holiday thing, I guess I could retire

that for a bit.

Speak for yourself.

Seriously, though, have you even booked
your flight to France?

Not yet. I'm just waiting on the final
paperwork for the job offer.

Perfect. So you're available.

We'll shoot some beautiful content for
the charity. You can finally meet my

sister. And then stay with us for
Christmas.

Small town holiday fun it is. Yeah.

And here. Oh, for my champagne rider.

No. Early Christmas present.

Winter wear basics.

Coat and boots.

Right.

Great.

Thanks

for helping with

the charity drive, Tom. Oh, yeah. I'm
here for it. Besides, earning extra

points towards fire captain promotion?

That doesn't hurt either.

So you're interested.

We all know you love the spotlight.

Whoa, it is not my fault if the camera
loves me.

Seriously, though, I'm putting my hat in
the ring. We all know what you do for

the station and the years you put in.

Thanks.

I'm happy to compete with you for it.
Either way, I know the station will be

in good hands. Yeah, fine.

All right, let's get this up.

Take that a little higher.

And higher, higher, lower.

Lower. Oh, oh, higher.

Lower. It's good, Reed.

I'm going to put on a pot of coffee. You
want some?

No.

What's that?

Do you hear that?

No.

Excuse me?

I'm not sure who you are, but you can't
just start taking pictures in here.

Hi, I'm Sasha.

Jackie invited me.

Oh. Something about a fundraiser?

Oh, uh, welcome.

I'm Dani.

I'm Jackie's sister.

It's so nice to finally meet you. I've
heard so many great things.

So I'm looking to create some lifestyle
pics for the promo post, create some

Holiday Heroes buzz.

Wow, I'm not sure I got all that, but it
sounds great.

Thank you for coming.

Wait. Wait.

There.

Beautiful.

I love this angle.

You know what? Let me grab some of the
team.

There's plenty of other firefighters
here more than happy to pose. Let me

just see who's around. Hey, I heard
about your rescue and that you're

heading this fundraiser.

I thought you should be in it.

Well, thank you.

But I'm just focusing on doing my part
and giving back.

Well, maybe you could show me around.

Tell me more about it.

That I can do.

Right this way.

Jackie took a later flight, but should
be here soon.

Oh, the flight delays were brutal.

So happy you're here now. Oh, me too.

Okay, let's talk fundraiser.

I want this to be like the old Holiday
Heroes days.

back when it was about helping everyone
in the community that needed it. Our mom

used to organize a donation drive with
local businesses, putting together,

like, gift boxes for families. And Danny
and I would dress up as elves and

pretend to be Santa's little helpers.

Wow, Jackie as an elf? Gosh, I can't
picture it.

I was also thinking we could organize
the fund to help the Lee family get back

on their feet.

Their living room and parts of their
kitchen need repair. They are staying

with family, but it would be so good to
get them back in their own home.

Great idea. Well, we can start hitting
up larger corporate sponsors, and I'll

put a donation page on the station's
site and start reaching out. And you and

Sasha could start hitting up local
vendors.

I can take photos and put them on
socials. Oh.

What about a radio spot? I know the
morning DJs. We take the same yoga

class. I mean, sure, but radio's kind of
old school.

We want something bigger. Think
community, but sexy.

Do those two things go together?

Well, it's all about what you're
selling.

Friendly firefighters, but something
extra that makes them stop squirreling

and donate.

I mean, this is a local thing about
helping families in need.

Why don't we keep it simple?

People helping people.

It's not really attention-grabbing.

Okay, well, fine. Let's just say we're
bringing back the Holiday Heroes drive.

You know how people around here rally
together in times of need. Besides,

everyone knows the chief.

We'll get him to help with outreach.

It's a great place to start. I mean, who
could say no to him? Say no to who?

Dad!

We're just talking inspiration for the
fundraiser.

My two daughters working together?

What more could a father ask for?

And who is this?

One of my besties at work and the most
amazing photographer, Sasha Dubois.

Happy to be here. Thank you for your
help, Sasha.

Danny came up with this great idea, and
it means a lot to us. Great. So let's

divide and conquer.

Danny, you're with Sasha. Get her out
taking pictures.

Dad, we've got a phone call to make.
Okay.

Nice tree.

Where'd you get all those unique
ornaments?

From people we've helped over the years.

Neighbors, seniors, school kids.

Like a collection of stories from our
town.

Sweet. I collect things from all my
travels.

I like to bring home a little piece of
every place I photograph.

I've always wanted to travel more, but I
have to get away in my line of work.

I can imagine.

I take it you've lived in Silver Pines
all your life? Well, I went away for

college, and I did some relief work in
Haiti, but yeah.

I came back to following my dad's
footsteps.

Well, firefighting is very noble and
cool.

I don't know about that. More like it
feels right.

Plus, I wanted to build something here
that lasts.

I've been on the move all my life. I
envy you putting down solid roots.

Do you go home for Christmas?

Not much to go home to.

Oh, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to pry.

I'm an only child.

Family's spread apart.

So I guess I fool myself every year into
thinking that Christmas is just another

day.

Not for me.

Christmas is my yearly reset. It's
packed with traditions and marathon

hangouts with loved ones.

My family tradition is never spending
Christmas in the same place twice.

Well, home isn't always a place.

It's the people.

That's why this fundraiser matters so
much to me.

It's a great way to bring people
together.

So where should we start?

Well, it's not the most mind-blowing
idea, but I was thinking we can head on

down to the Christmas market,
door-to-door, and ask the locals to get

involved. Makes sense. I can take
pictures of the donors, plus it's a

great way to promote local businesses.

Win-win.

Sounds perfect.

Folks are shopping, temperature's
dropping, big day's almost here.

This town is so welcoming.

It's a pretty special place.

Everyone knows you, wait.

Where I'm from, people barely look up
from their phones, let alone talk to

you. It's a tight-knit community.

We all know each other's business.

Oh, so it's true what they say about
this little town.

Yes, but it's also wonderful.

Once you settle and start to appreciate
what's right in front of you, you can

stop looking for that next shiny thing.

I agree.

But I also like being on the move and
finding that next shiny thing.

That's one of the reasons I got into
photography in the first place.

Cool.

Look.

This is perfect.

It must be nice traveling, taking in all
those new experiences.

I love it. I get to meet amazing people,
swap fresh new ideas, and I'm actually

waiting to hear back about a full-time
job in Paris.

Paris? Whoa.

I'd love to visit, but...

I couldn't imagine ever moving away for
a long time.

For me, if I stay too long in one place,
the shine kind of starts to wear off.

I'm not good at, like what you said,
slowing down and appreciating what's

right in front of you.

Hey!

So nice to see you.

Hi.

She makes these out of broken ornaments.

Like Japanese kintsugi.

I guess that's what it's called.

Yes, in Japan, they mend broken items
using liquid gold, making them even more

valuable. I thought last year when I
photographed an art show in Tokoname,

the flaws are what makes each piece one
of a kind.

I love that the imperfections are what
make it special.

Life can be that way, too.

I've seen how we can lose so much and
come back from almost anything.

Especially when you have the right
people behind you.

People who see the cracks and still
choose you.

Or love you even more because of them.

Maybe our flaws are the pieces waiting
to be filled, and love is a special kind

of gold.

It's cool that you got to see that in
Japan.

Even cooler that you have your own
version here in Silver Pine, using

silver and gold.

Duty calls.

Feel free to keep exploring, and don't
worry about getting lost. Between here

and the station, everyone knows where to
find me.

I'm glad we were able to back up EMS on
that one. Yeah, good call on that

alternate route.

Main Street got jammed up quick.

Every second counts on a call like that,
right?

So, me and a couple of the guys, we're
going to go out for some drinks. You

want to come with us?

Thanks, but I've got some work to catch
up on with the fundraiser. Okay.

Just over a week to go until Christmas
Eve, and we launched the donations page

today. Anything I can do to help?

I think I got it covered for now.

You deserve a break.

Says the person who works more than
anyone?

Seriously, Reed, take a break.

Thanks, Tom.

Guys, let's go.

Have a good night, everybody.

You're not going to join them?

I want to finish up some work for the
fundraiser.

Besides, I got to lead by example, don't
I?

Well, leadership's not just about
getting things done, Danny.

It's also about being part of a team.

And that sort of implies, you know,
enjoying time together.

I will.

I am.

I just...

I want to make sure the fundraiser's a
success.

Gotta show people they can count on me.

All right.

Well, just remember, there are people
around you who can help.

Thanks, Dad.

Hey, sis.

Sorry we're late.

Don't ruin this for me. I'm at the park
where everybody's about to start singing

together and her ex is about to... Oh.

Hey, um, make yourselves at home.

Nice PJs.

Thanks, yeah, they're kind of my thing
this time of year. It's actually our

thing? Maybe I should get some Christmas
PJs. Flannel looks cozy.

Well, you're much more of a cashmere and
silk kind of girl, and the tradition

doesn't really work that way. Yeah,
you're supposed to be gifted them on

Christmas Eve.

Although we could make an exception for
you, unless you're fine with your

regular PJs. Yeah.

Really, come as you are, whatever makes
you comfortable.

I usually wait until at least a third
meeting before showing anyone my

Christmas PJs.

Well, maybe it's better to show them
your true colors right away.

Yeah.

Danny, why don't you show Sasha to her
room?

Right. Yes.

It's right this way here. I'll make
this.

Sorry about the mess.

Haven't had guests in a while. I keep a
room for my sister down the hall, and my

dad has his own place.

No, it's all good.

I'll try not to disturb your island of
misfit ornaments.

Oh.

Yeah, I keep meaning to fix them, but
I'm always working, so... It's Christmas

time. I get it. Who has the time?

Well, please don't mind the mess and
make yourself at home.

Hey, actually, I posted online about the
fundraiser, and people are asking about

you. And the puppy, of course.

Well, who can resist a puppy?

But let's be honest. We haven't had a
fire this big in a while. So, of course,

people are talking. It's silver pine.

I get it.

But, you know, this is a holiday hero
campaign, and you, Dani, are a hero.

No. No, the point of the fundraiser is
to show that when it comes to giving,

anyone and everyone can be a hero.

Why don't we do some follow-up shots?
You know, with you, Abigail the puppy.

You'll be really sweet.

I'm really more of a behind-the-scenes
person.

But... Wow.

You're really good.

It's what I do.

I capture people's true essence without
them even noticing.

And I think that showing the face behind
a real holiday hero is a great angle.

And I promise you will have final
approval before anything gets posted

online.

I get it now.

Why you and Jackie are besties.

You don't give up.

I'm also very hard to resist.

Confident, huh?

Oh, I've talked A-lectures into 5 a.m.
shoots just to get the perfect shot.

Well, get some rest.

I'm working split tonight, so 5 a.m.
doesn't sound me.

But I do need more on-camera experience.

Maybe I'll see you tomorrow after my
shift?

I hope so.

And here's the crew in action.

Good work, everyone.

Just keeping up with demand.

People are stepping up. Yeah, looks like
the social posts are really working.

I got all the guys at my gym to donate
online.

Impressive.

Let's get to work.

Time to get a shot of dairy.

Camera

loves

you.

It's really good.

Okay, now that I've talked your ear off,
what about you? It seems like you've

been obsessed with being a firefighter
ever since high school.

Mind if I ask why?

Yeah, yeah. The hats. We got great hats.

Look, it's not that deep. It's just
something that always stuck with me.

Come on. You can tell me.

Okay, so my grandmother shared this
favorite cat that we bonded over named

Snowball. and I would visit all the
time. And one winter, when I was

visiting, I opened up the front door,
and the cat just shot out.

Oh, no. My cat makes a run for the door
every time I open.

Mine, too.

Anyway, it climbed up to the highest
maple tree in Grandma's front yard, no

thanks to me, and then an amazing team
of firefighters showed up to rescue her.

And I promised myself right then and
there that one day I would be like them.

That's adorable, Tom.

Yeah, it was last year.

What?

Kidding. I was seven.

Cute. Hey, look, what can I say? I just,
I've always known what I wanted.

That was fun.

It was a nice way to balance out the
harder days.

You have a natural way of leading.

This team really looks up to you.

I hope so.

I'm buying for a promotion, and it would
be a lot easier if the rest of the team

were on board.

Well, everyone's already getting behind
the fundraiser, and...

That's all thanks to you.

Thanks.

Also... You have an eyelash.

Make a wish.

I already did.

Okay, so we're making great progress
with our donations, but we still have a

bit to go with our goal for repairs to
the Lee's home, not to mention all the

other families who signed up.

Yeah, we still need to find a way to
bring in bigger donations.

What else can we do?

What about a charity gift wrapping
station at the Christmas market, just

like we used to with Mom and Dad?

It's the perfect venue to spread the
word.

Exactly, all those last-minute Christmas
shoppers.

After seeing some of Sasha's amazing
photos, I was thinking...

What if we did a charity calendar?

We can feature the crew, give people
something they can use all year round.

I just don't know if people are even
buying calendars anymore.

I do.

Who doesn't love a sexy firefighter
calendar? Yes, we have to.

That's not the kind of calendar I'm
talking about. Well, I know one holiday

hero I wouldn't mind seeing in that
calendar.

If you say Tom, I might have to disown
you.

He's actually really fun. He used to be
so dorky in high school.

He's like the brother I never wanted.

He's much sweeter than the guys Jackie
usually does.

See? Sasha knows.

Anyway, we can promote the calendar at
all the events and start taking online

pre-sale orders, and Sasha can start
taking pics for socials, too.

Sorry, Sasha.

We keep adding to your pile.

That's okay. It's all part of my
small-town holiday experience.

So when can we schedule the shoot for?
Well, I'll need to get the chief to sign

off on the calendar, despite being on
call for emergencies.

He doesn't love last-minute plans.

I'm sure Dad will go for it. What if we
sold more Station Eleven merch?

Mugs, aprons, stockings?

I love the creativity, but I'm not sure
we have time for all that.

We're collecting donations, wrapping
presents, hopefully a firefighter

calendar. It's a lot this time of year.

I see your point. Maybe we don't have
time for swag sales.

But a calendar is easy enough. We have
to do it. Yeah, let's schedule it in.

We'll talk to the crew, see who wants to
be a part of it. And Jackie, you can

arrange the props.

Sure. And we'll have themes for each
month. What month do you want, Dani?

Yeah, maybe you can start and end the
year, January and December.

Uh, there's no need for me to be in the
actual calendar.

I'm logistics.

Better to let the team shine.

This could be the perfect media training
we talked about. I think it would mean a

lot to the team to see their future fire
captain let loose, put on a sexy Santa

hat and get silly. That would be good
for morale.

Maybe, but we're not doing sexy.

Remember?

Anyway.

Start getting used to being front and
center in that fire captain role.

I hear you.

But doing my job, helping people, it's
where I've always felt my best.

What about the glory for me?

We get it, and everyone appreciates how
much you do for this town. So let's just

have fun. It'll be good for the team to
see you in a different way.

And I'll finally be able to photograph
you. Local small town hero.

Wow.

You guys don't stop.

Let me sleep on it, okay?

Good night, ladies.

Good night.

Do you think she'll do it? I'm not sure.
I just wish she saw herself the way

other people do.

Yeah. She's pretty amazing.

So, do you like her?

I mean, she's strong, inspiring,
beautiful.

What's not to like?

Runs in the family. Okay.

Oh, hey.

I thought you were Jackie.

Nope, just me, with treats.

What's the occasion?

It's an official cookies and tea moment.

That's a thing?

I made it a thing.

I raided your pantry, and somebody
really likes to bake.

Helped me unwind after a long shift, and
the team loved my date squares, so...

Yeah.

Cozy room, by the way.

And the duvet.

Wow, is it down or microfiber?

Okay.

Seriously, what are you really doing
here this late?

I just wanted to check in on you.

Make sure you're okay.

I know you have a lot on your plate, and
the last thing you need is to feel like

we're ganging up on you.

Well, I'm used to Jackie bossing me
around.

Bonus points for the cookies, though.

Mm-hmm.

We may have gotten carried away with
your calendar idea, and I know that you

don't want to be a part of it, but
leading by example goes a long way.

It'll definitely help with your
promotion.

You are very persuasive.

You're almost as good as my sister.

Oh, no, I'm much better.

I mean, you're right.

The calendar is a great way to bring the
team together.

Show my dad I'm ready to lead.

This fundraiser is becoming so much
more.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

And now it's my turn to say goodnight.

Sweet dreams, Danny.

You too.

Get your gifts wrapped.

Holiday Heroes fundraiser. We accept and
wrap donations of all sizes.

Got to give it to you, Danny. Another
great idea for the cause. And you're in

luck because I'm amazing at wrapping
presents.

Great. We need all the hands we can get.
Well, anything for the community, right?

Thanks, Tom.

And hey, I'm going to talk to the chief
about a charity calendar for the

fundraiser. You up for a photo shoot? I
know you love the spotlight.

I do, so sign me up. And it's like you
said, helping is the reward.

No donation is too big or small. Get
your gifts wrapped.

Sister's a big help.

She's a lot more than that. She's the
whole five-alarm chili.

Now you're talking my language.

Hey, uh, what about Sasha?

What about her?

Really?

Oh, excuse me.

Want to see?

Oh, I'd love to.

I was thinking this one of you and the
crew would be perfect for the calendar.

I didn't even see you take that.

Wow.

It's like magic, all these moments.

I wonder what other moments are
happening around us that we can't see.

So do you think the chief will go for
the calendar?

I may have some pull.

Holiday heroes means a lot to him.

I think it's a beautiful way to honor
your mother's memory.

I hope so.

I've also decided to be a part of it.

Lead by example, like you said.

Hopefully with your help. Of course.

I'm so glad. You'll be in good hands.

Um... I'm going to go check on Jackie.

Looks like the rapping station's a hit.

Though not as big a hit as you and
Sasha.

Stop it.

She's gone after the holidays.

Not necessarily. She might be your
person, Danny.

I'm not the one who's looking.

Besides, it would be a huge mistake to
fall for someone who's not in it for the

long haul.

Do you remember Tara?

She bailed right before the academy. She
said I was too intense.

That was a college crush.

Exactly. I am older now. I am wiser now.
I gotta be with someone that gets me for

me.

Basha's a big city jet setter.

I'm a small town homebody who's always
on the clock.

Give her a chance. She might surprise
you and stop hiding behind the uniform.

You've built your whole life around
work. Live a little. I love my job. And

the structure saves me when everything
else feels like it's falling apart.

And with or without the promotion, my
priority right now is the fundraiser.

Don't get me wrong. I am so proud of
you.

But you're always working.

You deserve someone special in your
life.

That could be Sasha.

Oh, you know we just met. Trust me. Me?
I know her. Have I ever steered you

wrong? You literally pushed me down a
hill in a shopping cart when we were

kids.

It was our magical play.

Okay, other than that, have I ever
steered you wrong?

You're just always trying to steer.

I hope you haven't been setting us up
this whole time.

No.

But a girl can dream.

You don't always know better.

Um, I think my track record speaks
otherwise.

I just want to point out...

You have been flirting with Tom.

This is not about me.

You know I only want you to be happy.

I know, and I am so grateful for you.

All right, I'm going to go talk to Dad
about the calendar. It seems like you've

got everything covered here. Sure, he
should be handing out flyers outside.

Okay.

Howdy, heroes. Get your gifts wrapped.
Yeah, there you go. How you doing?

No, you can get your gifts wrapped right
inside there.

Howdy, heroes. Hey, Chief.

Thanks for spreading the word. Oh, my
pleasure.

Folks are really excited about this
fundraiser. I know. It's great.

And Sasha and Jackie have been such a
big help.

I hear Sasha is quite the photographer.

Yeah.

She is something else.

I know that look.

I haven't seen it in a while, but you're
happy.

I'm doing what I love, and it's the
holidays, so of course I'm happy. It's

okay. It's what every parent wants, and
you deserve it.

Speaking of photography, what about a
Station Eleven calendar?

You up for it?

Not one of those racy ones, I hope. No,
no, no. Just family-friendly photos

would be a great way to ramp up
donations and give people a way to

remember the fundraiser.

I admire your drive, honey, but that
seems like a lot to organize in a very

little time.

Oh, it'll be fine. I was also thinking
about doing our own version of Photos

with Santa. We'll do a photo pop-up with
the team. Okay, slow down. All great

ideas, but you're sure you can handle
all that?

Yeah, of course.

It'll be a great way to boost crew
morale.

You know, your mother had that skill.

Juggle a million things, make it look
effortless.

She really did have a superpower.

I'd be very proud of you.

Well, tell you what, as long as we keep
it fun, and you assure me this isn't too

much for you, then, um, yeah, I'm in.

Great. Thanks, Dad.

You won't regret it.

I have a favor to ask. How's your chief?

Of course.

Anything you need.

I was hoping that you could, uh, give
the annual fire safety talk at

tomorrow's tree lighting ceremony.

You sure?

You always do the talk. Yes, I know, but
if you're serious about this fire

captain role, it should be a good time
to step up.

Well...

Okay. These are big shoes to fill, but
I'll give it a shot.

You're more than ready for this. You'll
be fine.

Thanks, Chief.

Holiday heroes, get your gifts wrapped.

You're back.

Nice to come home and not find the place
empty for once. I know the feeling.

Sometimes it is way too quiet coming
home to my condo.

What's the final verdict on the
calendar?

It's a yes, but I promised the chief I'd
keep it family friendly.

Oh, Jackie's going to be so
disappointed.

Yeah, she will.

So I was thinking, what if we did a
community photo day?

As long as you're down to shoot, of
course. Yeah, I love that. It's a great

way to get people to come out.

Okay, so let's do the calendar in the
morning and holiday photos in the

afternoon. Great.

Thank you. Yeah.

Okay.

Now I just got to prep a fire safety
talk for tomorrow night's tree lighting.

Cool. Fire safety is your jam, right?

If I'm being honest, I'm feeling a
little nervous.

Oh, there's nothing to be worried about.

I guess I'm just feeling the pressure to
show I've got what it takes to be fire

captain. My dad usually gives the talk.

He's got this very commanding presence.

You have a very commanding presence.

Do you think so?

Being the chief's kid means we want to
do better.

Plus, I need to prove I earn everything
I get.

Well, I've seen you with the rest of the
team.

You're a natural.

I don't know about that.

Whatever happens, just own it.

Well, I already said yes, so I guess
I've committed.

Maybe I'll just practice in front of the
mirror or something.

The truth is, we connect more when
people aren't perfect.

Helps them feel more real.

Or you could just picture everyone in
their underwear.

No, thanks.

But hey, thanks for the pep talk.

You always seem to know just what to say
to make me feel better.

I'll leave you to it.

It's an honor to be here tonight on
behalf of Station Eleven as we light up

everyone's Christmas spirit.

This holiday season, put fire safety
first.

Prevention is very important.

Go read!

So you really need to think ahead so the
holidays won't just go up in flames.

Well, what I mean by that is keep your
real trees watered because dry needles

and Christmas lights, they don't mix.

As pretty as candles may be, don't leave
them unattended. Unless you're planning

to toast more than chestnuts this year.

Please, make sure your smoke detectors
are working so you don't end up with a

visit from us instead of Santa.

Remember, when it comes to keeping the
holidays full of cheer and safety, we

can all be heroes.

Speaking of which, please support our
Holiday Heroes fundraiser back this year

with a special edition charity calendar.

And join us at our holiday photo pop-up
featuring our firefighters.

Your generosity goes a long way to
bringing Christmas magic to families in

need. Thank you. And without further
ado, I'd love to welcome up our

Honorable Mayor to Life is Beauty Up!

You look great.

Seeing you in the crowd really helps.

In my underwear?

Seriously.

It's been amazing having you here.

Three, two, one.

Merry Christmas!

Think it'll earn me a date with a
special holiday hero?

Definitely dinner.

Maybe a date.

Well, lucky for you, I happen to be free
for both.

Including the photo shoot on Friday.

Rain check on the dinner date.

I'll hold you to it.

Excellent work, Lieutenant.

Someone's gunning for fire captain.

I knew you'd be great, by the way.

Thanks, sis.

Solid job on the talk.

Looks like the competition for fire
captains is heating up, so I'm going to

lock in some more donations with my fire
extinguisher demo.

Care to join?

Yeah, I guess I could grab some content
for socials. Are you two coming?

No, you two go ahead.

Okay. Have fun.

You're off to an early start?

Just checking the calendar pre-orders
and all the buzz on social.

Honestly, I'm starting to get a feel for
what a small-town holiday is going to be

like.

The crew's excited, too.

I'm glad the fundraiser's got people all
fired up.

Cute. I see what you did there.

Speaking of cute, Tom and Jackie are
adorable.

I guess.

I've never really seen Tom that way with
someone before.

She seems happy.

I love that she goes for what she wants.

She's a lot like my mom that way.
Spinning image of her, too.

Jackie always speaks so fondly of her.

You must miss her so much.

Yeah.

Especially during this time of year.

We lost her as teens, so it was pretty
rough.

But Dad did an amazing job raising us.

We've always lent on each other to get
through.

What about you?

What would make you happy?

Truthfully,

Holiday Heroes being a big success that
keeps on going.

Also, the promotion.

But only if it's known that I earned it.
Is there anything I can do to help?

Well, I wouldn't mind taking you up on
your offer to... Oh, sorry. Hold that

thought.

I really need to... Good morning,
sunshine.

Good sleep?

Beats being on call at the station.

How about you? How was Tom's fire
extinguisher demo?

He was really good with the donors. I
got lots of fun content for socials.

Um, where did Sasha go? We've got lots
to prep for Friday's shoot.

She had to take a call.

Uh, seemed important.

Well, well. Look who suddenly cares.

Doesn't change that she's leaving right
after Christmas.

No. Make use of the time you've got.

Mistletoe doesn't ask questions.

A holiday fling? It's fun when you're in
your 20s, but it'd be nice to have

something real for a change.

Everything okay?

Uh, yeah.

Yeah. That was the Paris agency.

And? And before they finalize the offer,
they want to fly me out for one last

interview. Oh.

What? I thought it was yours.

I did too, but I guess they need to meet
me in person first.

When's the interview?

In two days. On the 23rd, before they
close on Christmas Eve. Friday.

That's our photo shoot.

I know.

I'm so sorry.

No, this should be exciting for you.
Don't be sorry.

Are you sure you can't go after
Christmas?

Unfortunately, I can't. I have been
chasing this senior agency role for

ages, and I can't give up now.

Of course not.

Well, we should celebrate early
Christmas while we still have you.

You sure?

I wouldn't be imposing on your sisterly
traditions?

No. We would love it with my nanny.
Yeah, Christmas Eve, PJ party.

It'll be great. An authentic small-town
Christmas experience.

Plus, I actually got you a little
something.

But now I should probably run.

I'll catch up with you guys later.

Okay, here we go, here we go.

Oh, from twinning to twinning. I love
our Christmas PJ tradition.

I do kind of love this look.

Thank you.

Nothing like Christmas PJs to get you
into the spirit.

So, what did I miss?

Okay. He didn't tell her about his ex,
and now she won't talk to him because

the ex came back and is trying to buy
her bakery.

What, so there's one miscommunication
and it's all over?

Oh, no. They definitely still end up
together at the end. They always do. So,

if you already know how it ends, why are
we even watching?

Because it's about enjoying the journey,
not just the destination.

It's the predictable payoff that we look
forward to.

And you're sure it's worth it?

Of course.

It's a Christmas tradition.

Right. Yeah, of course. I'm just still
getting used to all this.

Whew, it is getting late.

Sorry to cut the party short, but I have
to go.

What? Where are you going at this hour?

Last minute surprise.

You know what? I think I can guess.
Actually, don't tell me. I don't even

want to know.

Great, I'll fill you in later.

I'll also remind you that early
Christmas was your idea.

At least wait until the end of the
movie.

I've seen this one a hundred times. You
two enjoy, but save me some dessert.

Bye!

Are you on call tonight, or do I get you
all to myself?

Holiday rotating shit.

So I'm off tonight.

How do you even handle shift work?

I'm used to it by now.

24 hours straight on, followed by 48
hours off.

But because it's the holidays, we're
rotating every 12 hours, so the crew can

spend more time with family.

Sounds intense.

Yeah, I've heard that one before.

Doesn't make relationships easy.

Yeah, I can relate.

Not that I'm saving lives or anything
like that, but I am always on call for

some kind of emergency with a deadline.
One minute I'm editing backstage, the

next I'm chasing a starlet on the
carpet.

The missed birthdays and apology texts
don't help, though.

Yeah.

But hey, if you can find someone who
gets it, you're lucky.

Yeah.

So, when does your new job start?

It's supposed to be in the new year.

They asked me if I had any attachments
and if I could start right away.

Oh. Well, that's the perks of being
single, right?

No complicated baggage.

Just an open calendar and a taste for
the finer things.

Yeah, lucky me.

But I have really been enjoying my
small-town holiday.

Especially the company.

I'm glad Jackie invited you.

Me too.

I did make you something.

What? You didn't have to do that. Just a
little way to say thank you for letting

me stay here and for the pajamas, of
course.

Aw. I thought they needed a little bit
more time, but I think they're good.

It's just gold-colored glue, but I hope
that you get the idea.

You fixed my misfit ornaments.

No one's ever made me a gift before.

Except Jackie. She briefly went through
this knitting phase and she made a lot

of scars. I remember that.

Well, being at the tree lighting
ceremony, it reminded me of how much I

used to love Christmas decorating.

It's been ages.

Oh, well, let's put these on.

Okay.

They're even better than they were
before.

I'm so glad you love them.

I'll think of you every time I take them
out for the holidays.

I was so looking forward to spending the
holidays with you.

Let's not talk about it tonight.

I'm sorry, I just feel so bad.

I know Jackie has a lot of contacts, and
I'm sure she can bring someone else in.

I'm sure she can.

But it won't be the same without you.

How about...

We do a private photo session. Just the
two of us help you get ready for the

calendar. You sure?

Yeah, and didn't Jackie say that you
needed more media training for your

promotion? So we can help you find all
of your angles, get comfortable.

Comfier than Christmas PJs? Almost.

Tonight can be our studio.

You know, studies say that if you flip
stress into excitement, your body won't

even know the difference.

Same energy, same racing heart.

It's all about how you frame it.

Explains why I take on the pressure.

Just lean back, look straight into the
lens, and smile.

You're a natural.

Now, tell me something that you wouldn't
normally share with a lot of people.

Like what?

Whatever comes to mind.

Just focus on me.

Camera's not even here.

Have you ever heard of reading the
smoke?

I'm guessing it's a firefighter thing.

We're taught to read the smoke.

Focus on me.

Remember?

Smoke tells us about the type of fire
we're most likely to encounter.

Like a prediction?

Kind of, but maybe I've started spending
too much time trying to read people the

same way I read the smoke.

It can be easier to read signs than
feeling sometimes.

Yeah. I spend my time scanning a
situation or someone for warning signs

and keep my distance.

Avoid getting too close.

What happens if you get too close?

I stop myself.

I keep reading the smoke to avoid the
fire.

What if you get closer?

Then I worry I might get hurt.

I get that.

I often wonder if the reason that I keep
moving and...

I can never settle in one place so that
I keep my distance.

Why don't you join me over here?

On the other side of the camera for a
change.

What does my smoke say?

Are... Are you going to check that?

No. Get it later.

Light reminder.

Actually, that's a good reminder.

I'm looking for a safe.

I can't.

Not right now.

I thought you were leaving today.

I'm taking the red-eye tonight.

Interview's tomorrow.

So, what are you doing here?

Well, Jackie talked to your dad about
moving up the calendar shoot, and the

crew are all available, so... Really?

Yeah. That's great.

I didn't want to leave without finishing
it.

Well, thanks.

Well, also, we were able to find a
replacement photographer for the holiday

shoot. Oh, that's fast.

Who? Well, it turns out Candace Lee,
Abigail's mom, is a trained

photographer. Really?

Yeah, she's been doing it part-time
while raising her kids, and she can't

think of a better way to thank Station
Eleven for sponsoring her family during

Christmas. Oh, that's amazing.

Well, thanks to you.

You salvaged her trunk of camera
equipment during the fire, and she just

wants to pay it forward.

Wow.

Well, thank you so much for being here
today.

You don't need to thank me.

At least I can do for the change of
plans.

Oh.

So listen, about last night.

What about it?

We both have commitments.

Better not to complicate things.

Fair.

But we should talk.

I'm not sure there's much to say.

We should focus on the fundraiser.

That's what matters right now.

What about us?

I think you're amazing.

But... Seems like we're headed in a
different direction.

Fine, yeah.

You're probably right.

Look... No matter what happens, I
just... I want you to know how much I

appreciate you helping with this, okay?

Who's ready to be one of Santa's little
elves?

Where were you last night?

Oh, you know, on a hot date with a hot
someone.

Don't commit that blame. Sounds like a
fire hazard.

Don't tell Danny, Kay.

Why not? We can all see you're into Tom.

Normally I have no secrets with her, but
this feels different, and I want to make

sure that it's real first.

I'm curious.

Maybe. I hope.

Okay, well, then Danny won't be happy
for you.

I think she thinks he's an acquired
taste.

I think it matters what you think.

What about you? Did you have a chance to
talk to her?

Not really.

We just talked about helping out with
the calendar and reaching out to

Candace. But until I know what's
happening in France, there's not much to

say, unfortunately.

So do you have a new start date?

I'm not sure. I'll know more if I get
it. You mean when you get it.

Sad you have to cut your holiday short.
I know. I was really looking forward to

spending Christmas here.

Me too. And so was my sister.

You two clicked the moment you met.

I think you've been watching too many
rom-coms.

No, especially.

Since when do you know how to set up
studio lights?

Sasha taught me. I helped her take them
down last night.

Sounds like you two had fun without me.

Sure. And?

Anything else I missed?

No, that's it.

I was hoping you two... Just because
you're my big sister, it doesn't mean

you're always right.

We both knew she was leaving.

Hey. Hey. Oh, uh, Mr. December's ready
for his close-up.

Keep out of here.

Don't act like I didn't see that.

Okay. I gotta move the truck. Okay.

Let's rev her up.

Okay, we have three hours to shoot this
calendar.

We'll take rotating shifts so that we
always have someone on active duty.

Responding vehicle will be on standby
outside.

But first...

A huge shout-out to our mega-talented
photographer, Sasha, my amazing sister,

Jackie, and the one and only Chief Reed.

Of course, none of this would have been
possible without each and every one of

you. Here, here.

Okay, so we have a seasonally
appropriate assortment of festive props

and outfits, so sign up for your
favorite months, and let's have fun. I

got dibs on Santa.

Father, daughter, happy new year.

Great job.

Cheers.

Beautiful.

Got it. Next.

Hey,

that was good.

Great job.

Next.

Have you guys done this before?

That's fun.

Beautiful, yes.

Look incredible.

Yes.

Getting a lumberjack clean.

The wrench got us.

The therapy.

Beautiful. Big smile.

Gorgeous.

how much fun today was. Right? We got so
many amazing photos. I'm just putting

the final touches on the layout.

We really can't thank you enough for
this, Asha. It's my pleasure.

And the digital download will be
available online before I leave for my

flight tonight.

I couldn't have done this without you.

You deserve some credit, too.

Today made me realize why I started
doing this in the first place.

How photography can make unexpected
moments come to life.

What are you thinking here?

I wasn't really thinking, just feeling.

Pure joy.

No getting lost in the smoke, just going
for it.

Hey, I know that you don't want to talk
about it, but whatever this is, I think

we should stay in touch, see where it
goes, you know?

No.

I'm sorry.

I can't.

Why not?

Because I'm not up for apology texts
after missed video chats or wrong time

zone mix-ups. I can't do long distances.

But I thought you felt a spark here. I
do.

When I let someone in, I'm all in.

I get it.

You do.

This is usually where all my
relationships end.

You are incredible.

And I wish that I could give you a
forever place to come home to.

But I'm always on the go.

I don't see that changing.

I understand.

I'm sorry. I've got to take this. Do
what you have to do.

Getting late.

You should go.

Like you said, if you stay too long in
one place, the shine wears off or

something like that.

I guess I did say that.

What? But... But I'll make sure that I
leave extra copies of the

photos in case you need them.

Sure.

Thanks.

Yeah.

Don't let me keep you.

Safe travels, Sasha.

Good luck, Danny.

Talk about a long day. How are you
doing?

Tired.

But good.

You're incredible.

Um, so I hear that Tom is staying at the
station tonight.

Sounds like someone suddenly cares.

I'm sorry, Danny. I've been seeing Tom.
I know.

And you're lucky. I just saved Tom from
getting Dad's famous third degree.

Dad knows?

You've always been good at hiding
things, but Tom, not so much.

You're right. He's kind of a chatty
Cathy.

Yeah. Oh, but he's also super cute.

I should have told you sooner. I'm
sorry.

I was wrong.

Excuse me? I missed that. Could you
repeat that last part for me?

Oh, don't get too used to that.

I'm happy for you two.

He's a good guy.

Thank you.

So does this mean I'll be seeing you
more often? Maybe you could work

remotely. I'm not sure. Things seem to
be happening fast. Much like you and

Sasha. Did you two talk?

We did.

And, you know, wrong place, wrong time.

I need something that can last.

I think you also need some tea.

I'm really, really pleased.

Thank you so much for coming. You being
here today, it makes it so special for

all of us. We're so grateful. There's no
way we'd miss it.

And when I heard you needed a
photographer, I was more than thrilled

to help. Well, to be honest, you saved
the day.

Can I get a picture with you later?

Yes, please.

Great. I will come find you.

I'll go set up.

Thanks.

Welcome, everyone.

Thank you so much for being a part of
our special community photo day with our

chief and crew.

Look who came to visit us, everyone.

Ho, ho, ho. Merry Christmas, friends and
family.

Nice of you to join us, Santa. Thanks
for lending a hand.

Oh, fire, Captain Santa. Wouldn't miss
it for the world.

Have you been Christmas here?

Ho, ho, ho.

Looks great. Can I have one with Jessie,
please? Of course!

I want to become a firefighter when I
grow up. Aww.

We've all seen the donation boxes around
town and the Holiday Heroes photos on

social, but now more good news. The
Station 11 calendar officially drops

today. That's right. So grab your
calendar and help support Holiday Hero

families all year long.

You know, none of this would have been
possible if it wasn't for the incredible

drive of Lieutenant Danny Reed.

Oh, Lieutenant Reed, is Holiday Heroes
the success you were hoping for?

It's an honor to serve and a real
testament to the residents who always

embrace the spirit of giving back.

So please keep those orders and
donations coming for families in need.

And thank you.

And remember, smoke alarms save lives.

Spoken like a true holiday hero.

Back to you with the weather, Greg.

And we're out.

I'm really looking forward to buying one
of your calendars. Thanks. I hear Mr.

December is quite popular.

Just this way, please.

Press like a pro in all the calendar
buns?

Thanks. Seems like Firefighter Santa's
pretty popular, too, huh?

So, could there be a Mrs. Claus in your
future?

Who knows?

But maybe someday.

I heard that Sasha left last night.

You okay?

Yeah.

I'm fine.

You sure?

Can't be easy if you feel like it could
be something more.

Who am I kidding?

I know we just met, but I have never
felt this way about anyone before.

I think I messed up.

Oh, I pushed her away.

Maybe it's not too late.

I think it might be.

Hey, Chief, just checking in. You good?

Yeah, I'm good. How are you holding up,
kiddo? You know, it's been a whirlwind.

Well, maybe you need some time off, huh?

You offering?

I'm serious.

We don't put our lives on the line every
day around here, but you, your

commitment to this town is above and
beyond.

Thanks, Dad.

You know, that means a lot coming from
you.

Watching you and Jackie work together, I
couldn't be more proud.

We'll always be grateful for your big
shoulders.

You raised this right.

And you and your team.

What you raised, well, it's nothing
short of remarkable.

We're getting pretty close to our goal.
Enough for repairs for the Lee's home

and a lot more to come from calendar
orders.

Oh, and I also noticed you've been
getting more and more comfortable with

the press, haven't you?

I'm trying.

So any more thoughts on the promotion?

Does this mean you're ready to be fire
captain?

Ready and able, sir.

Mm-hmm.

But I know Tom's interested, too.

Well, that's awfully nice of you to
think of the competition.

I just want it to go to the right
person.

And I know it might not be me.

Well, good news there.

I'm no longer the one who's making the
decision.

So you don't have to worry about any
bias. The district chief will make the

decision before he retires.

That is great.

Thanks, Ted.

Um, oh, tell your sister I wasn't born
yesterday.

What do you mean?

Actually, you know what? Maybe I'll tell
her myself.

Falling for a fireman, just like your
mother, warms the heart, doesn't it?

Some places speak to the heart. Home is
where we leave a piece of ourselves and

take a piece of it wherever we go.

Travel safe, Dani.

Hey. Great job showing up as Firefighter
Santa. The kids loved you. Yeah, we got

to do that again next year.

You were in almost every holiday photo.

Not to mention bringing the calendar
heat as Station 11's Mr. December. Thank

you very much.

It's a brilliant move.

Actually, it was Jackie's idea. Aha.

I figured.

Yeah, she's incredible.

You getting soft on me or is this you
buttering me up for approval?

You know you've already won if you've
got her falling for you.

You know this job gets in your blood,
but Jackie, she makes me want to do even

better.

I can see why she thinks you're a
sweetheart.

She does.

I know things can change on a dime
around here, but I can really see us

building a life together.

I know I give you a hard time, Tom, but
you're already like family to me, and I

can see how happy you make her.

You know why?

I see that same look in your eyes with
Sasha.

How are you handling her leaving?

I'm fine.

We just met.

I always knew she had to go.

Danny, you show up for everyone, every
day.

Maybe it's time to show up for yourself.

Tell her how you really feel.

Sasha, I got your message, and you
always seem to know what to say, unlike

me.

I made a mistake telling you to go.

I think that you are the gold inside
that shines and makes me feel whole.

I've never felt this way about anyone
before.

And I think you're amazing.

So, even though we're going to be oceans
apart, I'm willing to try and see how

things could go.

If you are. This mailbox is full.

I think you're amazing, too.

I was just on my way back.

But... But what about Paris?

I never made it to Paris.

But what about... I got the job.

And I told my new agency that I can
start in the new year, but I've got to

spend Christmas with a special VIP.

Who's the VIP?

Oh, just a small-town girl who I really,
really care about.

That's incredible.

You are incredible.

And I'm going to use up all my vacation
days to come visit you.

And we're going to find a way to make
long distance.

work well the truth is they really
respected how much i value spending time

with loved ones so they offered me a
remote position and i'll be splitting my

time between here and paris it's amazing

you and your powers of persuasion you
know me how's your

promotion i think we'll know more in the
new year but it's looking good and more

importantly

I realize that things don't always have
to be perfect in order to be worthwhile.

I'm flying out after the holidays, and
I'd love to RSVP a platform.

Yes.

Yes. And yes again.

Spending time with you this Christmas
has made me appreciate that home isn't a

place.

It's a feeling.

And Danny, I love the way that I feel
when I'm with you.

Merry Christmas, Danny.

Merry Christmas.
