- [Tracey] Hey
lady, it's Tracey.

Camelia told me
about your new gig.

You should come by tonight,

decorate the tree and celebrate.

I got plenty left over
vegan pumpkin pie.

(Christmas music)

- Oh!

(Christmas music)

- Hey, Hey Roseanne.

Yeah no, you don't have
to worry about getting

a coffee this morning.

I already got it.

I actually just left the studio,

setting it up for Melo D

Day one girl, post-merger,

Supra meets Sonic Sound,

music-industry giant.

- Okay, Beyonce.

It's your mother,
not your assistant.

(Harmony scoffs)

- I'm sorry, mama.

- I'm glad you're excited
about your new job.

- Same job, mama.

Same co-workers.

Same boss.

The only thing that's
new is the name

and perhaps an expanded
role of Senior Director.

- Oh, that reminds me.

I have a senior citizen's
discount on Tuesday.

I should come back
here tomorrow.

These people are far too
proud of their produce.

Whoever heard of $2.75
cents for an apple?

- I don't know.

(Harmony scoffs)

I haven't stepped foot
in a grocery store since

we started coordinating
this merger.

- Harmony you have to eat.

Did you get the
cobbler I sent you?

- Oh, you mean Mama
Matthew's countdown

to Christmas cobbler?

- I went with prune this year.

- Oh, you know what, Mama.

I gotta go.

I'm picking up holiday
treats for the office.

- It's all right.

I'm just saying it's
either couriered cobbler

or a Christmas visit.

You make the call.

- Yeah, okay.

Mama, you made me miss my shop.

I gotta go.

(bell rings)

Ruth Anne?

Ruth Anne?

Did you see the sign?

Supra Sonic Records.

We really did it.

- You did it.

Everybody knows none of
this would have happened

without you're vision.

- Yeah, well now we just need

to get Melo D's
record to home base.

- And finalize
details of the tour.

- Right.

- Do you want me to put
these in the conference room,

because your room is full of
boxes and not the bakery kind?

- What?

- Looks like somebody's
moving on up.

(Harmony vocalizes)

- Ah, to the corner office on
the east side of the building.

- With a private room.

- With all those executives.

- [Ruth Anne] It's
new territory, baby.

- Harmony?

I need to see you in
my office, please.

- Of course, Mac.

(dramatic music)

- Downsized?

(Harmony sighs)

I'm supposed to be
getting upgraded.

Senior Director level upgraded.

- I know, Harmony.

Believe me.

There have been so many
redundancies with this merger.

I told the Supra guys that
you were the real deal.

- Well, this deal wouldn't
have happened without me?

And now you're trying
to get rid of me.

- Me?

No, no, no, no, no, no.

I'm the one who spotted
you out of the mail room

and brought you up
to the top floor.

- No, spotting the
act that became

this label's number one
artist is what got me out

of the mail room and
to the top floor.

And making this merger happened

should have gotten me
that promotion Mac.

- You're right.

I am on your side.

I know it doesn't seem
like that right now.

- You know what?

You're gonna regret this.

And I hope that I'm still
available when you realize it.

- I got Supra to keep you
on payroll through year end.

Take the vacation
you never take.

Enjoy the holidays.

After that-

- I'm on my own.

Right.

(door opening)

10 years and all I'm
leaving with is crumbs.

- I'll call you.

(doors closing)

(phone ringing)

- [Mama] Hello?

- Mama?

- [Mama] Yes, what is it baby?

- I'm coming home.

(Mama gasps)

- [Mama] Oh.

♪ To save us all
from Satan's power ♪

♪ When we were all astray

♪ Oh tidings of
comfort and joy ♪

♪ Comfort and joy

♪ Oh tidings of
comfort and joy ♪

(fist knocking)

- Oh, Harmony!

Oh, what are you doing here?

Your flight doesn't
land for another-

- It was two hours ago.

Ruth Anne got me
an earlier flight.

So I just.

- I was gonna get some balloons

and I've already
wrapped you up a piece

of my Christmas prune cobbler.

It's in my purse.

Let me go and get it.

- Oh no, no, no Mama.

As appetizing as that sounds,

I am good on the purse prunes.

- My baby!

Oh!

- It's good to see you, Mama.

- This is the first
Christmas you've come home

since,

(soft music)

I'm all right.

- This is supposed to
be a happy occasion.

- Right?
- Right.

- Yeah.

- Divine timing.

I was just gonna go drop
off some pies at the church

and you can help me.

- Oh Mama, I just
wanna go upstairs

and get changed.

- Oh hush.

Oh, my baby is home.

I can't wait to show
you off to everybody!

I'm gonna get the pies.

(upbeat music)

- Oh, thank goodness you're
here Mother Matthews.

These people are
testing my testimony.

- Oh, love is patient,
love is kind, sister Nia.

Oh, oh thank you Deacon.

- My pleasure.

Pies almost smell as good
as you look, Corissa.

I mean, Mother Matthews.

(Mama giggling)

- Harmony, you
remember Deacon James,

don't you?

- Yes ma'am.

Hi Deacon.

Nice to see you again.

Oh, I was so sorry to
hear about your wife.

- Oh, thank you dear.

Last month made three
years she been gone.

God rest her soul.

- Mother Matthews, where
are the back up lights?

These all have broken bulbs.

Should we wrap up some boxes

or should we just wait until
people bring in donations.

And then, also could-

- All good questions.

But the real question is,

did you bring some pies for us?

Or are they all
for the food drive?

I mean Keyvon has been talking
about Mother Matthews pies

since last year's fundraiser.

- Oh (Mama giggles).

The back up lights,

they are in the
south storage closet.

Also we do need to wrap some
boxes to make this place

look more festive.

And sister Nia,

I brought some pies
for the volunteers.

Like I said, love is patient.

- Well, love may be patient,

but I is hungry.

- Oh, girl, go, go.

- Just like I remember.

Our gracious lady,
Mother Matthews,

Chief Operating Parishioner
of Bethel North A.M.E.

- Deacon James,

why don't you tell how many
about the upcoming events

at the church?

- Oh, she don't want me to
bore her with church chatter,

big music executive
and all of that.

- Oh, there is nothing boring
about this church's events,

especially with a person
so musically inclined

as my Harmony.

- Of course, church events.

How serendipitous that
you are here, Harmony.

Music is even
embedded in your name,

and we could use your
musical expertise.

Your mother,

your mother thought
that you could help

with the Outreach Ministries
Annual HHC fundraiser.

The Holiday Hallelujah Chorus.

- Oh, wow.

I haven't sung in years.

I mean not on a stage at least.

- Well see the choir
director went on a ski trip

and trip is exactly what he did,

from the 1600 meter slope.

- Ooh, ouch.

- He is healing,

but it doesn't look
like God's time

is gonna coincide with showtime.

So, will you direct the show?

- It's just that I,

I have this thing with work.

- Well, you could
sing if you preferred.

- No, no.

I'm (Harmony exhales),

I mean yes.

I'll direct.

- Ooh, wonderful!

Oh baby!

♪ Joyous strains

♪ Gloria

(stick falling)

- Stop, stop.

Just to let you know,

I'm not directing
the show this year.

(choir reacts)

Don't worry,

we're gonna have a very special
guest director this year.

- [Harmony] How does
she have so many pies?

What should we do with her?

(Kyle whispers)

- Oh, ooh, ooh.

- Oh, hold on.

Let me help you.

- [Harmony] What,
is someone there?

- Oh no, wait, wait,
come on let me-

- [Harmony] No, I got it.

No, wait, no!
No, no, no.

(both crashing)

- Oh my gosh.
- Oh!

- I'm sorry.
- Oh!

- I'm so sorry.
- No, I'm sorry.

I couldn't see.

I got pie all over
my Prada pumps.

Harmony?

- Kyle?

- Speak of the devil.

Sounds like you're new
choir director just arrived.

Come on in!

- I'm sorry about the pies.

I, but, they're calling me.

If you could just,

I'm gonna.

- I promise I'm
not following you.

My buddy just told me
to come to the stage.

- Your buddy?

- Yeah.

- Oh, oh, oh, oh, my pies!

Oh!

- Oh Mother Matthews does
make some delicious pies.

Everybody, everybody say hello
to our new choir director.

(Mama sighs)

- Deacon can you explain
to me what's going on here?

(upbeat music)

This is not going
to work for me.

Hi Kyle.

- Miss Matthews.

- Mama got this.

Hallelujah, you just-

- [Choir Director]
Mother Matthews, I
don't even understand.

- [Mama] My baby is all
the way here from New York

and this is unacceptable.

- [Choir Director]
It's my choir.

- Wait, you got a
little thing on-

- What are you doing?

- I'm sorry.

You just had a little
sweet potato on your-

- No I don't.

- Okay.

- It's Lemon Meringue.

- [Mama] This job to start with.

- Mother Matthews, I'm
sorry for the confusion.

- God is not the
author of confusion.

And this (Mama
faintly speaking).

- Have you ever even seen a
Holiday Hallelujah Chorus?

- No, have you?

- I have not.

But my momma has told me
all about it for years.

- Oh, so I guess that
makes you qualified

to lead the choir, huh?

- Well you know, I used to
go to this church, okay.

Once a member of
Bethel North A.M.E.,

always a member.

- Eternal membership is
for the afterlife, H.

A.M.E. membership requires
bodies in the pew,

but you wouldn't
know about that.

- Yeah well, this body
is no concern to you.

- What you need to be
more concerned with

is that pie on your shoes.

Ha, ha, made you look.

(Kyle laughing)

It's a little bougie
for Bethel, isn't it?

Just a little bit.

- I just came from the airport.

I wasn't expecting this.

I wasn't expecting any of this.

Bodies in the pews.

You know, have you ever
been in town long enough

to be a member of anything?

Weren't you just in
New Orleans last month?

- How do you know that?

You've been keeping tabs on me?

- Kyle turned down a paying gig
to take over the HHC for me.

I am not going to turn him away.

- I'm sorry brother,

but this is important
to Mother Matthews.

And what's important to Mother
Matthews is important to me.

- Mm-hmm.

- We have mutual friends.

Social media is a thing.

- Oh, social media.

Are you saying that you're
up for getting social

while you're in town H?

Is that what I'm
hearing right now?

- No one calls me H anymore.

- Well Harmony, I'm no nobody.

- It's been well over
five years, Kyle.

You're a nobody to me.

- Ouch.

Wow, that's, okay.

I guess we'll have plenty
of time to get reacquainted

while you're singing
in the choir that I'm.

♪ Directing

- Oh.

(Mama faintly speaking)

- You know what?

How about you just rewrite
the intro while I'm directing.

- That intro could
use a little help.

- Yeah, that's one thing
that we can agree on.

- Yeah, I feel like it'd be a
little better if it was like.

♪ Glo-oh-oo

♪ Glo-oh-oo

♪ Gloria

- Yeah, thanks Barry White,

but I need it a little
more Santa Claus

and a little less slow jams.

- Okay, okay.

- You know I was thinking
that it would be something

more like.

♪ In excelsis deo

- Just beautiful.

Wasn't that something?

- That's good,

but I think I could one up you.

Maybe something like.

(clears throat)

♪ In excelsis deo

- Oh, it's trouble coming?

- Well, there
ain't nothing wrong

with a little bit of
trouble, is there?

- Are we talking about the show?

- I don't know.

Are we?

- I think we found our solution.

(Mama giggles)

- Yes we have.

- I am happy to announce that
the Holiday Hallelujah Choir

auditions will begin
tomorrow as scheduled led

by your new choir director

or rather your new
choir directors,

brother Kyle Noah and
sister Harmony Matthews.

(choir reacting)
(choir clapping)

(upbeat music)

(Christmas music)

- Right in here.

- [Frank] There she is.

What'd you like
some coffee, Melo D?

- [Ruth Anne] He meant
tea Melo D, herbal.

- Cream and sugar?

- Melo D Star only takes honey.

- Right?

For my vocal cord health.

You know, Harmony
would know that.

You have three minutes.

I'm listening.

- Well, thank you for
coming in today, Ms. Star.

We understand that you
were a tad bit surprised

by a few of our more recent

(clears throat)

personnel changes.

- Oh, you're trying
to play me for a fool.

Make that two minutes.

- Oh no, nope.

Not trying to play
you for anything.

We're just trying
to make you happy.

How can we do that?

- Where's the flavor?

- What's your?

Remind me of your name.

- Frank MacIntyre, Mac.

Do you need like peppermint?

Are we still talking
about tea here?

- Forget the tea.

I'm talking about style, color.

You see this blouse, Frank?

You see this right here?

- Mm-hmm.

- It's Eelian gold.

And like the eel,

this unique,
specific to my vibe,

creativity inspiring color,

helps me summon the magic.

Y'all think y'all can
really elevate my sound?

- Look Melo D,

your contract clearly
states your obligation

to this label and
nowhere in there,

are there any
contingencies or language

about the fashion of our staff?

I suggest that you-

(Melo D laughs)

- Oh.

You think the name
means I'm mellow

or that I'm just some
gorgeous songbird,

fa-la-la-laing too busy
to read the fine print.

Oh, but you're
gonna learn today.

You're gonna learn today,

because my contract gentlemen,

obligates me to make
one more record here.

One.

Do you know the big fan base

for how much revenue I take
with me if I left this label

after one record.

- I do, it's quite a bit.

- Would you like me to make
another gold record for you?

- Yes, Eelion gold.

- Because, I can do that.

Platinum even,

but I need some folks
around here who get me.

But all I see are some tech
heads who wouldn't know

a bop from a banger.

Please get Harmony back or
I'll be back with my lawyers.

- You don't have anything
like this in New York,

do you Harmony?

- Oh, no, no, no.

Well, we do have this
tiny little gathering

in Rockefeller Center every year

where they broadcast it
to millions of people.

But no, it's not like this.

- Ha, ha, smartypants!

This Christmas lighting is
not a show, it's community.

- Mm-hmm, the entire
town comes out,

from the eldercare
to the kinder care.

(women giggling)

- Harmony, is that?

- Who?

(Kyle laughing)

- Oh that's-

- Nope, that is nobody.

You know what, hey I,

I forgot something in the car.

I'll be right back.
- No, no.

- You're gonna miss
all the festivities.

- Mama listen, I can see it.

I can see it from here.

- You're probably gonna.
- Miss the best part.

- I got.

I just really can't.
- Let me just.

- It's fine.
- Just for a minute.

- I, Oh!

- You know we gotta
stop meeting like this.

(Harmony giggles)

- [Man] Three, two, one, lights.

- [Community] Oh!

(community chatting)

(Kyle exhales)

- It's beautiful huh?

- Yeah.

So you're here with
Felicia Hewitt?

- Yeah and my,

my parents and Darius are
around here somewhere.

The whole family.
- That's just.

Yeah, that's great,
that's great.

It's just hilarious.

It's so funny.

(Harmony laughs)

Yeah, just the three of us,

the two, the three, all of,

just big old reunion, mm-hmm.

It's exactly what
I needed tonight.

Uh-huh.

- Hi, Harmony?

- Hi, hi.

- I have to get
back to the kids.

Are you ready to go?

- You know what it was really
great bumping into you, Kyle,

but I'm just going to
let you get back to your,

to your Felicia,
to your family too.

- That wasn't awkward at all.

- Oh really, what?

What?

- [Jennifer] She
got no game, Mama.

- Rise and shine.

Auditions start in one hour.

- Oh, what time is it?

- [Mama] Time for
you to wake up.

(Mama giggles)

- Co-directors.

How is that even a thing?

- Oh, the two of you
used to be quite a thing.

And personally, I think
it is a great solution.

Baby?

- Hmm?

Is this the snow globe your
father gave you a long time ago?

- Yeah, I like to keep it near.

(dial winding)

Mm.

- I remember the day
he gave that to you.

His angel, first born,

going off on her own
to New York City.

- Yeah, well I wasn't
supposed to be on my own.

- True, but your father felt
that you could handle anything

that the world threw at you.

- He used to say,

"Whenever I felt the
world whipping around me,

just let everything settle
and follow my North Star.

It'll guide me home."

- And look at you, home.

- Yep, just like I left it.

Hasn't changed a bit.

Although it will never be
the same without daddy.

- You know what
else hasn't changed?

Kyle Noah.

- Ugh, Mama!

(Mama giggles)

- What?

Listen, I am old,
but I'm not blind.

- Yeah, well your memory
must be going too,

if you think that I could
ever, ever be interested

in Kyle Noah after
what he did to me.

- Oh, God forgive us for
we know not what we do.

- Mm, I don't have
to forgive him, Mama.

I just have to work with him.

(soft music)

- Oh all right,
I'll see you inside.

- Okay Mama.

- Uh-huh.

- Please get harmony back,

or I'll be back with my lawyers.

- Did you know
she was coming in?

- I had no idea,

but it sounds like
something that she'd do.

- [Frank] Is that Harmony?

Listen Harmony.

Talked to the guys
at Supra today.

- You talked to them?

- Look if you can
create the perfect sound

for the final track
of Melo D's album,

I think I might just be
able to get your job back.

- Yeah my job or the job
I'm supposed to have,

Senior Director.

- Harmony, if you can keep
Melo D happy long enough

for her to sign her
next contract with
Supra Sonic Sounds,

you can have whatever
position you want.

Just finish the track,
make it amazing.

welcome to the chorus.

Thank you.
- Thank you.

- [Harmony] Great,
great, great work today.

- Congratulations.
- Thank you.

- Good luck.

- Felicia seems very grateful.

- She doesn't have the part yet.

- Well I think she and Darius
would make a cute couple

as Mary and Joseph.

- Listen, you can't cast my
brother in the lead role.

- Are you jealous?

(Kyle scoffs)

- Jealous, I'm not jealous.

I just don't want
people to think

that we're giving Darius
special attention,

because he's my brother.

- Darius has a great voice.

(Kyle giggles)

Okay, it's not great.

Not yet, but I know talent.

And you and I both know I
know how to turn good talent

into great talent.

- Listen, this is
me cooperating.

- I'll see you after lunch Kyle.

- Hello?

- Hey, did you get
those clips I sent?

- Yes, front-loaded
with my top choices,

like you asked.

- And?

- Well, is that the sound of
my career going down the drain?

- No, sorry.

- No, I'm sorry.

You're at home.

I, I can call you later.

You know I wish I was
in New York right now.

- Well then come home.

- Girl, you know my mama would
kill me if I left right now.

Besides I've got this,

this thing with this guy.

- A thing with a guy?

- Not that kind of thing.

It's just a guy I used to know.

I mean, I used to
more than know him,

but, well anyway, it's,

my mom convinced me to
direct, co-direct this choir,

so I will be here
until Christmas.

- Well that sounds kind of fun.

- You know it kinda is.

- Guys, it's Auntie Harmony.

Finally.

Come on, give her some love.

- Love you!
- Thank you.

- Can I get some of that too?

- Oh, oh, oh, oh,

am I gonna have to turn

- No hoses mama, no hoses.

'Cause I brought.

- Oh, you keep it in the bag?

- Yes.

- Yes, from the freezer aisle.

Thank you Lord.

Your big Mama is gonna
make you some real cookies,

yummy, and buttery, and
crunchy, Christmas cookies.

- Hold up mama.

They gonna have to get their

- Oh, wait a minute.

- While we-

- Are we about to have?

- Matthew girls slumber party!
- Matthew girls slumber party!

- Yes, we're gonna need
more wine than that.

I got you boo, bam!

So Mama, sister
Nia told Joyce down

at the Majesty Salon that
you and ole Deacon James

was doing a little
tinsel two-step down

at the fellowship hall.

- Ooh!

- Do tell.

- There is nothing to tell.

- Mm-hmm.

- The kids were down
there showing off doing

that hip tok, ticky hop,

or whatever it is.
(girls laughing)

- Mama and Deacon James
were showing the young ones

how it's done.

(Mama giggling)

On the hop top, she bip bop.

(Mama laughing)

- Mop top?

- Oh yes, we used
to do social dances.

You know, it was just fun.

Although, Deacon James does fill

out a Christmas sweater nicely.

- Ewe!
- Mama!

(Mama laughing)

- Too much, too much, too much.

How much wine have you had?

- One why?

- How big was the glass?

Was it?

- Big enough.
- Wait, wait a minute now.

This is not right.

How is my little sister and
my mama booed up on Christmas

and I am over here kissing
Santa Claus cookies.

(Mama laughs)

- Oh yeah, that reminds me.

- What, what?

and make your parents proud.

- Yes.

- Well, none of that
turned out as planned, huh?

Okay, okay.

Oh, that is enough for a minute.

- Hey, hey, stop, enough.

- So what's it like
seeing Kyle again?

- You are not supposed

- Uh-uh, mama, I can spell.

- Well, since Jen brought it up?

- Okay, all right, all right.

I'll admit that

my heart jumped up in my chest.

- Oh yes, he is a very
handsome young man, huh?

- But then it shot straight
back down into my stomach.

years ago, waiting.

and he never did.

- Hey baby, just put
those right there,

those toys over there.

Oh, Deacon James.

- Mother Matthews.

(Mama giggles)

- It is always good to see you.

Getting everything ready
for the clothing drive?

- Yes, everything is
basically good to go.

- Great.

I see one of our
clients right now

who could use a preview.

Your interview is tomorrow
morning, right Monisha?

- Yes sir.

- We'd better rush and
get you a few things that

so you'll have enough
for the entire week.

Why don't you just select some
things that you really like

and then I will
come over in a while

and help you pull
some looks together.

Baby, would you like this?

- Thank you.

- Uh-huh.

- Thank you.

- No, thank you.

I have been waiting to say that.

- Me?

For what?

- Well I appreciate
you for getting Harmony

involved with the Holiday
Hallelujah Chorus.

She's still on the phone
all day with New York,

but not half as much.

- Service is an
honorable pursuit.

- Harmony has always
had a heart for service,

but unfortunately,

her desire to help
folks with their dreams,

make it easy for her to
forget about her own.

- Yes, well for
better or for worse,

sometimes service
can be used as a-

- Distraction.

- Distraction.

- I knew it, yes, yes.

I know, I've heard that.

- Well you do a lot to
serve others too Corissa.

- Yeah.

- I just hope that you
let someone pour into you

with equal measure one day.

- Deacon.

- I've gotta get back.

- Okay come on,
come on everyone.

Let's gather.

- Harmony, what
are you doing here?

- Oh, don't mind us, mama.

Okay everybody, listen up.

Let's remember why we're here.

The Holiday Hallelujah Chorus

isn't just some Christmas show.

The money that we raise can
really help some real people.

- Hey Harmony, come
check this out.

- Okay.

(upbeat music)

- Yeah?

- What do you think?

It's got, it's got
potential right?

- Yeah, for a tetanus shot.

- Oh now, come on now.

See over here.

This would be
great for a manger.

And over here I can,

we can put my piano
and the band over here.

I mean it's, it's perfect.

- Okay.

(hands clapping)

- Choir!

Yeah, come, come down here.

Yeah, just fill in.

Fill in all over there.

- Okay.

Hey y'all.

We're gonna rehearse
what we did this morning.

Y'all got it?

- Yeah.

We did it.

All right, all right,
all right, all right.

- This is why I knew two
would be better than one

to direct the Holiday
Hallelujah Chorus.

- Well, we actually
wanted to know if we could

have the performance here
instead of the church?

- I'll get right on it.

Oh yes.

- Hey Harmony, what's good mama?

- Hey, Hey, nothing just working
hard for you as we speak.

- You're always hard at work.

That I can always rely on.

I've made a lot of
money for y'all, right?

- Yes, you did.

And you're gonna make a whole
lot more on this new one.

I promise.

- You gonna have to make
good on that promise fast.

Harmony, I'm not
that hard to please.

I'm just looking
for a new sound.

A sound that's
timeless, yet relevant.

Strong, but not overpowering.

A sound that people wouldn't
even expect from Melo D Star.

- It's not hard at all.
(doorbell ringing)

- There's a lot at stake.

For both of us Harmony.

- I got this.

- [Melo D] I hope so.

- It's okay.

- [Kyle] Ms. Matthews.

- [Mama] Oh Kyle, what are you,

oh are these for me?

- [Kyle] After the other day,

I just feel like I owed you.

- Oh no, I make a
mean prune cobbler.

Did you want some?

- Oh no, no.

You know what, I love
your sweet potatoes.

Hi Harmony.

- Let me take this for you.

- Oh no, I can.

- I got it baby.

You just go ahead.

- Kyle, what are you?

What are you doing here?

- I just felt like the
mission was so cool today.

I thought we,

we could treat ourselves
with sweet potatoes.

- Harmony, over here.

Come on, baby.

Work on this crust.

- All right.

- You know what?

I think I'll go and
put on some music.

Get the Christmas
spirit up in here.

- Oh, subtlety is
not her strong suit.

- Well you know your mama
was always rooting for me

when we were kids, unlike your.

- Daddy was just being a dad.

He never meant anything by it.

- It's just, it's just
kinda cool to be here.

With you.

And she's gone again.

I keep trying to crack
down some kind of wall,

but you just keep going poof.

Like you just-

- Disappear.

Yeah, that sounds like you.

- How long you in town for?

- Oh I don't know, honestly.

I think I'll be back in
New York by New Year's.

I hope.

I mean I have to find
this miracle unicorn

of a band like yesterday, but.

- But what?

- If I do, when,

when I do,

I will be headed back to my job.

Back home.

(Harmony vocalizes)

This is not really
my area of expertise.

- Oh, let me help you.

What you wanna do
is, try like this.

(soft music)

See?

Like that.

So this doesn't feel
like home anymore?

You know what?

Let's, let's ditch these aprons.

- Good, because I have just
about reached my pie dough peak.

(both giggling)

- Well you know, it's cool.

I just wanna, I gotta
place I wanna take you.

(both giggling)

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

(soft music)

- How do they play like that?

- Yeah.

- You know, you were right.

- Yeah, the drinks
are great, right?

- The band is great.

The way that the players, each
have their own solo thread.

- Yeah the arrangement is like,

it's like this tapestry, right?

It's like unexpected.

- Seamless, is the word I'd use.

- It's a great
solo, but together,

they're the best.

(audience clapping)

- All right, so I'm pretty
sure I saw Kyle Noah

out there tonight.

Kyle?
- Oh.

Oh.

I'd like all of you

Come on.

Harmony, come on

Don't leave me up here solo.

The band is good, right?

Stay.

There you go, please.

I've been waiting
for that voice.

There's Harmony.

And poof.

- No, no, I'll leave
this for another box.

- These boxes feel light.

We're not nearly at
the level we were at

this time last year.

- Well, a lot of things can
change in a week and a half.

We still have a lot of time.

- Excuse me, Deacon.

Not that much time.

The lease expires
just after Christmas.

- Lease, but we dealt with this.

The building owned
an opt to renew.

Our clients are homeless and
they have nowhere else to turn.

- I know Reggie,

but a developer has approached
the Board with a proposal

for a multi-use retail
general purpose facility.

- Deacon, we can not let
this place close down.

People are depending on us.

- I know.

- Where else will they go?

- Well technically,

we don't need the
sale price to keep

the Board from entertaining
the developer's offer.

- What do we need to do?

- A deposit of 5%, $10,000.

- Mother Matthews.

What's the most, the holiday
fundraiser ever raised?

- The best year?

- Mm-hmm.

- 3,200, yeah.

- What the church has
done for this mission

over the years has
been nothing short of-

- A miracle.

And that's exactly
what we need now.

(Mama sighs)

A Christmas miracle.

I miss that voice.

Kind of wish you were
singing in the choir,

so I could listen
to it everyday.

- Yeah well, I'm not
singing much these days.

- Too busy creating singers.

- I'm good at that.

- You're good at singing.

You're a singer.

- I was.

I'm not anymore.

- Now what we do is different
than now who we are.

- Do you know why you're
all up in my business?

Can you take a minute
to mind your own?

What's going on with music
and lyrics by Kyle Noah?

Don't you wanna be heard
outside of some hole

in the wall club?

- Well, like I said,

(Kyle sighs)

I'm just waiting on my muse.

(Kyle giggles)

I keep looking over my shoulder
waiting for your father

to scream at me from downstairs.

"I know y'all better
have that door open."

- He gave me this
globe the day that we,

the day that I
left for New York.

- He did?

- Mm.

He always encouraged me
to reach for the stars.

Just like the ones
in this globe.

- That snow globe came
from someone who loved you

beyond the stars.

He wanted you to always have
some North Carolina with you,

even if you were in New York.

- Yeah, well New
York was very lonely.

- Harmony if your father
was still living today,

he'd be so proud of you.

- Corissa.

- Oh!

- Tell them.

(Mama exhales)

- I came in to tell you,

both of you something.

It's the mission.

- But what you're saying
is even if we miraculously

double the donation total
from past fundraisers,

we'd still come up short.

- I don't wanna give up.

And I'm not gonna
give up either.

- That's what I'm saying.

The show must go on as expected.

(choir reacts)

- No, we're unexpected.

- Where is she going?

- Hey Harmony.

- You said you
trusted me, right?

- It depends, what's up?

- How would you feel
about coming to a quiet,

quaint little Southern town?

- Quaint?

You know there's
nothing quaint about me,

why would you even
suggest quaint?

You said you wanted
something that nobody

would expect from you.

then what is Melo D gonna do?

What is she gonna sing?

- The song you're
about to write her.

- For Melo D Star?

- I'll help.

Help does not begin to

for my career Harmony,

but if we're going to do this,

- Okay you know what-

I'm just saying you don't

All right, you're

overjoyed that I'm trying

to level your girl up.

First of all, Felicia
is not my girl.

She's my friend.

And second of all,

why are you so afraid
to level yourself up?

- I'm not afraid.

I'm not a singer.

- You are a singer.

- Not anymore!

- Who says?

- Says every audition I went
on for the first five years

I was in New York.

Says hundreds of
nightclub promoters,

and concert managers,
and Sonic Sound.

- What are you talking about?

- I started out in
the mail room there,

because I thought that I
could just slide my demo

to an executive like I was in
some "Living Single" episode.

I put my CD in a manila envelope
and I put it on Mac's desk

like it came in the mail.

- Okay and?

He loved it, right?

Because you're a star.

You need to know that.

- Yeah he loved it.

And then I told him
I was the singer.

"But you're a nobody."

That's what he said to me.

- Okay, just because
your boss doesn't see

how special you are.

That's on him.

That's not on you.

- It was on me to turn my
failure into a success.

If I couldn't make it,

then I was going to
do everything I could

to support those who could.

I made a career out of
making dreams come true.

- What about your dreams?

- I woke up.

- You woke up.

Harmony, you've
got an opportunity

to do what God put you
on his planet to do.

You have to do this.

You can do this.

- We would have to
change all the marquees.

Tell every ticket holder that
Melo D Star is not coming.

- Okay, that's fair,
we can do that.

- This is crazy.

I haven't performed in years.

- Look stop, H get
out of your head.

Get into your heart.

What does your heart say?

- I do miss it.

- And it misses you too.

- Let's just get back in
there and talk to the choir.

- Come on, Felicia
can't do the part.

- Yeah, she made
that very clear.

I just wanna get with Keyvon
to see if there's enough time

to change the
Christmas Star costume.

- You mean Melo
D Star's costume?

- Well I guess it's
my costume now.

- Yes!

(Kyle laughing)

- I was just heading out.

Is everything going smoothly?

- Oh yes, I just need
to find more rows.

But other than that,
everything is looking great.

- Yes it does.

- Oh, Reginald, stop that.

So how are ticket sales going
now that Melo D canceled.

- Well, like you said,

we're gonna need a
Christmas miracle.

But what this show is doing for
everyone's Christmas spirit,

you can't put a
dollar amount on that.

- Yeah, it is indeed important
to recognize the things

that are valuable in life.

- Is there something
else you need?

- Well, kind of.

- Well, I was just
about to head home

and getting for tonight.

- About that,

how about picking me
up at six o'clock?

- I thought you'd be
staying here with Harmony

and getting ready for the show.

No, I'm gonna be busy
getting myself ready.

For our date.

- Our?

- Yes, our date.

I know it's been 40
years since I had a date,

but I think it is still
customary that a gentleman

pick a lady up at her home.

- It is.

- Yes.

(Mama giggles)

Six o'clock, sharp.

- Okay, sharp.

- Baby Jesus, Mary, and Joseph.

(Choir chatting)

- Y'all?

- Oh, you found some more robes?

Just put 'em over there.

That's not all I found.

Ms. Felicia was out there
doing the mistletoe tango

with none other than Mr. Noah.

(dramatic music)

- All right, we.

What?

- All right now,
where's my star?

Come on.

- How could you?

- I'm confused.

- Don't act innocent.

Nia saw it all.

You were doing the
mistletoe tango?

- Y'all put a dance in the show?

- No mama, Kyle and
Felicia, lip to lip.

- Oh!
- What?

- Wait a minute.

I didn't say nothing
about Felicia and Kyle.

- Then who?

- Yeah, what's going on?

- Yeah, what is,
what's going on?

- No, fine.

- Darius and I have been
going on for months now.

- Wait Darius, my
brother Darius.

- Yes.

- Why wouldn't y'all
have told me this?

- Well I don't know.

We didn't want to jinx it.

We wanted to make
sure it was a thing

before we subjected
it to the rumor mill.

Look Harmony,

Kyle and I are only friends.

You'd know that if he'd
just tell you the truth.

- Felicia.

- No.

- Kyle, Felicia's right.

You should tell her.

- Ms. Matthews, I-

- Ah, I, you, you,

you two need to talk.

Everybody out.

Come on, get out.

What part of out
don't you understand?

Move it, move it, faster.

Ooh, could you move
faster than that.

(Mama vocalizes)

Now talk.

- Harmony, you
need to understand

how much your father loved you,

how much he believed in you.

- Yes, he wanted you to
have every chance to shine.

- Wait, what are you
two talking about?

- Harmony, you ready?

The day we were supposed
to go to New York.

I came to the house,

so we could go to
the airport together

instead of you meeting me there.

- Yeah, you mentioned something
about that the other day.

I never knew that.

- Yeah, well you were gone.

Some going away with your girls.

- Oh and Kyle,

he was just so excited.

I mean the two of you had
the whole world ahead of you.

But-

- But what, Kyle?

- Your father had his doubts.

- He didn't think I should
have gone to New York?

- No, he had his
doubts about me.

He was afraid that you would
spend so much of your energy

making sure I pursued my dreams,

that you would lose
focus of your own.

- He felt that once you
got your feet under you,

then things would be different.

You'd come home for Christmas.

And he would support
the two of you,

so everything could get
back to the way you left it.

But, your daddy passed.

- You never came back.

- Why didn't you say anything?

Either of you?

- Your father swore
me to secrecy.

Oh baby, I was wrong.

I mean, we were wrong.

I just thought it'd be
better for you to hate me.

- Instead of hating your father.

It was Kyle who gave your
father that snow globe

that you love so much,

'cause we wanted you to
have some of North Carolina

no matter what you were.

- Give this to her.

- This is not something
that you can't,

the two of you,
can't make right.

God has sent you home for
a moment such as this.

- So, you let me go.

- It was the right thing to do.

- No, the right thing to do
would have been to come with me.

I would have done that for you.

- That's why I didn't go.

I didn't want you to
have to do that for me.

- No, I get it now.

I get it.

All of this,

You were just trying to
clear your guilty conscience.

- No.

- You didn't believe in me then,

and you definitely
don't believe in me now.

- That's not true Harmony.

- I am not going out
there and making a fool

out of myself again pretending
like you're gonna support me.

You know what?

We're cutting the
Christmas Star solo.

- Wait, wait, wait, no.

Listen, we can't go back.

- Yeah, you're right about that.

You know what?

Even if we make a
penny for the mission,

it'll be worth it.

But after tonight, you and I,

this do over,

it's gonna end the same way
it did in the beginning,

with me on my own.

- Harmony, listen.

I love you.

You hear me?

I've always loved you.

I've loved you
since we were kids.

I love you now.

- No you don't, Kyle.

The Bible says that
love always protects.

It always persists.

And you gave up on us.

You gave up on me.

- Gave up?

- Harmony, you
didn't go to New York

to become some exec.

Singing Director?

Look in the mirror.

You're a singer.

No, I didn't give up on you.

You gave up on yourself.

(dramatic music)

(Christmas music)

- Harmony, did you
know there are a lot

of media trucks outside?

- Oh, as usual Ruth Anne.

You saved the day.

Thank you.

Good news everyone.

Melo D Star is on her way,

and she should make it
here in time for her solo.

(choir reacts)

Maybe, hopefully.

Okay, places in 20.

- You know what?

For the fundraiser's sake, I am,

I'm happy that
Star is on her way.

But to me,

our Christmas Star is standing
right here in front of me,

afraid to shine.

- Harmony, you were amazing!

- Oh, thank you.

- Deacon, Deacon has
been listening to
the donation tracker.

We hit the $10,000 mark.
- Oh we did?

- Yes.

- Oh, thank God
Melo D Star made it.

- Oh your father,

he would be so proud of you.

- Yeah, he would.

- Listen, we're gonna go mingle.

- Okay.

- Hey.
- Hey.

- You, you were brilliant.

You are brilliant.

- Thank you.

No thank you.

(phone ringing)

- Oh.

- Congratulations, Harmony.

It is good to have you back.

- Thank you for saying that.

- Listen, Ruth Anne tagged
me in the livestream.

It was amazing, really.

I mean the whole
thing was top notch.

- Yeah, well I'm glad
everyone enjoyed it.

- Do you think you
can get the choir

to New York City this week?

Record the single?

I want it to drop
by New Year's Eve.

- I think I can handle that.

- And after the New Year,

I wanna get you that
office you've been wanting.

- The C-suite?

- You've earned it Harmony.

- I don't think I'm gonna be
coming back to any office.

Yeah, no.

I told you that you
would want me back,

and unfortunately
I am unavailable.

I'm committing to
some new dreams,

rather recommitting
to some old ones.

Bye Frank.

- Ooh! (Kyle laughing)

Really?
- Uh-huh, that's right.

Yes.

- Like that?

- For real, just like that.

- Hello, hey Miss Hit Maker.

Now who knew you were
the hit in the making?

- That's very sweet
of you to say.

- Listen now, when
I say something it's
because I mean it.

I really think you
should be a solo artist.

- Well I just got a promotion.

- Hmm?

- Senior Director
of Acquisitions.

- You deserve it all, but no.

- Yeah no, that's
exactly what I told him.

- That's my girl.

- That's right.

(all giggling)

I, I actually have some
other things in mind.

I'm gonna be a singer.

- Oh, listen Harmony,

you've had my back
from the start.

What do you think about?

What do you think about
a little investment?

What do you mean?

I mean, the most amazing A&R
is a free agent right now.

I'd started an Indie label.

You think 250 grand
will get you started?

- What?
- Money.

- Yeah, I don't, I
don't know what to say.

- You're gonna say yes.

- Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!

- Oh, Ruth Anne is
getting a huge promotion.

- Ooh, I'm gonna sign
myself as my first act.

Wait, can I do that?

- Yes, of course you can.

You better?

- Oh, okay.

- Please count me in
as your second artist.

- That is, this is just, I-

- Wow.

- This is a once in a
lifetime opportunity.

I owe you big time.

- Please,

you keep turning those
dreamers that the gatekeepers

called nobody's and
turn them into stars,

and that's all
you'll ever owe me.

- Thank you.

(Harmony giggles)
- All right.

- All right.

- Love you too.

(Harmony giggles)

- She is a hoot.
- What?

- I could, can you just,

I, oh okay.

So I didn't know that I
was gonna say no to Frank,

but when he offered me
everything I wanted,

I realized that I didn't
really want it anymore.

It is time for me to
focus on my dreams.

- Am I a part of that dream?

- I'd really like that, Kyle,

but you're here and I'm going

back to New York.
- Back to New York.

Yeah I mean, I knew
that was gonna happen.

December 26th,
4:45 PM departure.

I booked a flight.

- What?

- I wasn't sure if you were
gonna give me another shot,

but I knew it was time
for me to shoot mine.

- You're coming to New York.

- No, not coming to
New York, moving.

Darius is taking over my
lease and I've already set up

an interview with a
church in Brooklyn,

and I've got some choir

and some big time
superstar next week.

I mean, it's kind of crazy.

- So we're gonna be in New York.

- Together.
- Yeah.

- About time, right?

Harmony, I cannot
imagine a world

where you're not making
your dreams come true.

I've always known that.

And ever since the
day you got back

and pummeled me with that pie,

I knew right then that I
wanted to do everything

in my power to make you happy.

We talk about once in a
lifetime opportunities,

I've already missed one once.

I'm not gonna miss it again.
