- Hey Carl, it's Haleye.

Yeah, how are you?

I'm good.

So I have a little bit
of an issue with your.

Yes, Carl, I get the joke,

but look, you've already
accidentally tweeted a few times

from the company's account.

So far, our followers have
seen your Tinder pictures

and admittedly, very
cute video of your cat.

And now a very lazy joke about
getting crabs from a diner.

- We're viral, Haleye.

- Listen, Carl, this is a startup

and our social media presence matters.

Yes, of course we are letting you go.

- Hey, Eric needs to see you.

Got it, okay.
- I'm sorry.

Yes, that's right Carl,

this will give you more time
to focus on your standup.

No Carl, I will not go
to your improv show,

but I wish you the best.

Steve.
- Yes.

- I need you to hold my
calls while I go upstairs.

- Is this about the crab tweet?

- Ivy league education,
years of corporate climbing,

now I'm having a meeting
about the crab tweet.

This is my life.

- Good luck.

Thank you.

- Hey Haleye.
- Hey.

- You can go on in.

- Thank you.

- Oh, Haleye.

Yeah.

- I have some inside information
about Carl's crab tweet.

- Oh?

And what is it?

- Carl did get crabs, that's
true, everyone knows that.

- Okay.

- But he did not get
them from Bay City Diner.

That was just a joke.

It's called a play on words.

He was trying to be funny.

- Well, thank you for
clearing that up, Lauren.

- You're welcome.

- Yeah, yeah, I'm looking
to invest in those NFTs,

did you get in on that yet?

Yeah, nah, it's like the whole thing.

Oh, yo, yo, hey, I gotta go real quick.

Can I call you back?

Yeah, yeah, totally,
totally, it all sounds good.

Just take care then all right.

All right, later, later days, huh?

Oh, what's up, Haleye?

- Oh.

Look, Eric, I just wanna assure you

that Carl has been let go.

We've deleted the tweet

and we have a team in
place fielding complaints.

- Oh, okay.

Cool, cool, cool, cool.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, who's Carl?

- Carl's the social media guy

who sent out the
offensive tweet yesterday.

- Offensive?

Really us like, oh wait, wait, wait, wait,

the tweet about having crabs.

No, no, no, that was hilarious.

Oh, that was not?

- No.

- Ah, bummer.

I thought you came up
with that one, Hales.

No worries.

That's not why I called
you up here anyway.

Have a seat.

- Oh, okay.

- So, okay,

as I know, you know, we
have several grocery chains

that wanna buy the company.

- Yes, how can I help?

- That's my girl.

Not my girl, I didn't
mean it like that you're.

You get it, it's fun, you
know what I mean right?

- Yeah, no, I do.

- Okay, good.
- Yeah, I do.

- Anyway, I'm taking a few of the guys

on a retreat to Arizona

and I need a baller
presentation to show them.

- Oh okay.

- You have shares in the company,

so the better the presentation,

the bigger your check will be.

- I'm on it.

I got this, Eric.

- I know you do.

That's why I called you in here.

High five.

- Five.

- Say you take that energy with you, huh?

- Yep, got it.

- You got this hailstorm.

- Okay.

Have fun in Arizona.

- Thanks.

- Sorry, Charlie, not right now.

- Still no answer?

- Ah, she's busy, she'll call back.

- Does she know how important this is?

I think we should run the numbers again.

Maybe reach out to Cedar Creek Bank.

- Well, I have an appointment
at Cedar Creek next week.

- No, we need Haleye.

No, she's gonna help us figure this out.

- I'll keep trying, don't worry.

- Hopefully she answers
the phone one these days.

- Meemaw, I know you probably
don't want to hear this,

but maybe it is a good
time to consider selling.

I mean, there's already
an offer on the table

and you can use the money for retirement.

- You don't retire from
something you love.

This ranch has been in our
family for generations.

We made it through the
depression in the '80s,

we're gonna make it through this.

- But I wouldn't put too
much stock in Haleye.

- Haleye's gonna help us figure this out.

- Ugh.

Haleye's so selfish.

That's all it is.

'Cause she's got her big fancy city job

and she doesn't call, she doesn't visit.

She can care less about this place

or how stressed it makes Charles.

You know, I've worked here
for almost three years

and I've never even met her.

And I'm talking to a horse.

- Name?

- It should be under Haleye.

- Two?

Yes.

- Is the rest of your party here?

- No, I am a bit early.

It's an online date, it's
my first one in a while.

- Oh.

- Is that sad?

- Kind of.

I'll show you to your table.

- Thank you.

Oh, oh, we're a little far from the door,

what if I have to make an escape?

- Hilarious.

Why don't you just sit at the bar

until your party gets here.

- Okay, thank you.

Can I have a glass of white?

- Yeah.

- Charles, I'm on my first
date in like over a year,

I cannot talk right now.

Thank you.

I'll call you later.

- Thank you.

Oh my goodness, hi.
- Hi.

- You must be Haleye.

- Yeah, nice to meet you.

- Oh wow, your energy is just so great.

- Oh.
- Are you a Leo?

- Pisces, but thank you.

- Pisces, yes, I see it now.

Oh, my energy reading has
been so off this week.

Don't you just hate that?

It's like, how are you
even supposed to function?

Oh, the solstice has been crazy.

- Yes, yes it has been.

So Masonry, that is a really unique name.

- Thank you.

Yeah, I gave it to myself in
a naming ceremony in Chile.

- A naming ceremony?

- Yeah.

So I was there, you know,

setting my intention for the new year

and I kept feeling all
this like weird burden.

So my metaphysical advisor, Amy, was like,

"You cannot thrive in this world

"under the narcissistic shroud
of your parental given name."

So I go to this butterfly
meditation yurt and release it

and accepted my new name.

- That sounds unbelievable.

It was.

- So how did you choose Masonry?

- Oh, I didn't choose
it, the universe did.

I just received it.

- Oh, of course.

So what do you do?

- I exist.

- No. I mean at like for work for a job.

- I'm a student.

- Oh that's cool, where?

- Here.

- Like the restaurant?

- The world of course.

- Of course.

Does that pay well.

- Money is a construct,
but if I had to use it

to understand the value
of my worth, yes it does.

I have over two million
followers on Snap Back

and I make about 200K a year on that.

- I'm sorry, what?

- Yeah, you should totally
follow me, if you don't already.

So Haleye, what do you do?

- Oh, well I'm the vice
president of operations

at Mega Energy Drink.

- But what do you do?

- I manage corporate
relationships, branding, marketing.

- Right, but what do you do?

- I like hiking.

- Haleye, may I share my truth with you?

- Yeah, sure.

- I'm very much connecting
with you on a human level,

but not on a spiritual level

and not at all on a physical level.

With your permission of course,

I would very much like to
leave this interaction.

Would you release me so that we can both

continue on our journeys
but like separately?

- Yeah, of course.

- Thank you.

I am so grateful for what
I'm learning from you.

Good journey.

- Good journey.

- Exactly.

Oh, and don't forget to
follow me on Snap Back.

I'm doing a chakra
bracelet giveaway tomorrow.

- One more.

Charles, honestly.

- Wait, wait, wait, wait, don't hang up.

Listen, this is important.

- Oh my God is everyone
okay, is me Meemaw okay?

You're supposed to text 911 if.

- She's fine.

Well kind of.

Look, I mean, she really wants you home

and we really need to
talk about the ranch.

- The ranch, what about it?

- It's in trouble and things
are getting really bad.

- How is that possible,

isn't superwoman Kate
there to save everyone?

- Listen, I don't really wanna

talk about details on the phone,

but can you please come home?

Okay, just for a little bit.

It's just to see if maybe you can help.

- Look, I don't know, Charles,

I have this big project and I.

- Haleye, listen to me,

Meemaw refunded us a few years ago

to cover Papa's hospital expenses

and yeah, it's caught up with this.

Yeah, I've been trying to
work it out with the bank,

but so far, no luck.

- Okay, well this is really bad timing.

I have this huge presentation and I just.

- Haleye, we have wifi here okay.

I'm begging you.

You haven't been back for a while

and look, if we can't
figure something out,

we're gonna have to sell.

- Well, okay yeah, I see, the guilt trip.

- Well, okay.

But you always did love
Christmas at the ranch, right?

- This'll be a massive,
massive inconvenience for me.

- So you're coming?

- I'll have to work remotely

of course.
- You're coming.

Yes, thank you.

- Yes, I'll come.

You're welcome.

- Biggest place with the
least amount of people.

How am I ever gonna meet someone new here?

Even if I did, what would I say?

I mean, I only talk to horses
and now myself apparently.

Oh Kate, oh, this is sad.

Listen, I don't wanna get

all Mariah Carey on you or whatever,

but all I want for Christmas this year

is someone to share it with.

And that's just between us.

Okay.

I just asked Santa Claus for a girlfriend.

Yeah, I'm officially losing it.

- Lauren.

- Oh, hi Haleye.

- Hey, I need to see Eric.

- He isn't here, he's already in Arizona

getting ready for the meetings.

- Already, that was fast.

Okay, so I have to go
home for a family thing,

but I will have my cell
phone, I'll be checking email

and I will be working remotely.

- Cool.

- And you will let Eric know?

- Totally.

- Okay well thank you, Lauren.

Have a good weekend.

- No, you did not.

- Going somewhere?

- Yeah, some hunters said

there's a post broken down by the creek,

so I'm gonna take a look,

pick up some supplies on my way back.

- All right, well, you can't
do all that in one night.

- I know that,

I'll set up camp be back
early in the morning.

- Oh no, you can't stay outside overnight.

- Sure I can, I do it all the time.

Camping in the cold's one
of my favorite things to do.

- Well, I know, but I
was a bad storm coming.

- You really don't know how
to read the weather, do you?

It's coming in a few days.

Look, I've got my cell phone
and my fancy signal booster.

- Yeah, look, could you,

would you just please go to Fox Springs,

check into the lodge.

- Would that get you off my case?

- Yes, if you check into the lodge.

All right fine,
I'll check into the lodge.

- Thank you.

- Just trying to save some money.

- Oh no, I don't believe this.

- What's that vulture doing here?

- Howdy.

Heard you got a fence
post down by the creek.

Think that's pretty generous for me

to still wanna buy the place,
even if it is falling apart.

- You slimy little.

Get off my ranch.

- What can I do for you, Bert?

- Just thought I'd by

and see if you need any
help with the fence post,

just be neighborly.

- Well, Kate, here's just
packing up to go down and fix it.

So we're all good.

- Her?

She's going down to fix
the fence all by herself?

My frank won't be on the
table forever, Charles,

it's either me or the bank.

And frankly, I'm a lot more generous.

You need to make a decision soon.

- We can't do anything
until my sister gets here.

It's a family decision.

- Good.

Maybe she can talk some sense into you.

- We all done?

- Yeah, we're good.

Come on Junior, we still got work to do.

Oh and Kate, when you get
through at the Hayride,

won't you come on over at our
place and help us with ours.

Merry Christmas.

- All right, I'm heading out.

- Text me when you get there.

- Yeah.

Hey, don't forget to move the
cattle to the next pasture.

- Yeah.
- Before it gets dark.

- Thank God Haleye is coming.

Can't wait to see their faces

when we tear up those contracts.

- Yeah.

- Okay yeah, no, I just got
here so about to check in.

Okay, yeah bye.

Need some help, hun?

- No, thank you, I just need a room.

The name is Haleye Hollis.

- Oh my God, Haleye, Charlie's sister?

- Yep, that's me.

- Well, I'll be, it's me, Lucy Brenson.

Well, Whyman now, I got married.

Charlie and I went together
for a while in high school.

- Oh my God, Lucy.

Yeah well.

Oh my God, how are you?

- I'm great.

Three kids, that whole thing.

Moved up here to Fox Springs
about 10 years ago now.

What can I say, I'm a city girl at heart.

- Yeah that's great, this
certainly is a city technically.

- Now what have you been up to?

I heard you went to Dart.
- Dartmouth.

Yeah, well now I live in San Francisco

and I work in a tech company.

- Oh wow, oh, that must be wonderful.

I've always wanted to go to California.

I love L.A.

Oh, you must not be used

to all this weather
that we're having here.

- No, I'm not.
- No Palm trees

and movie stars here.

Although I did a few commercials

for the mattress outlet, non-union.

- Well, I think I'm just gonna
head up and get some rest.

- Oh sure.
- Thank you, yeah.

- I put you in the good room
right next to the ice machine.

- Oh, thank you.

- You're very welcome.

Well, enjoy your stay with us.

- Thank you.
- And Merry Christmas.

- Merry Christmas.

- See ya.

- Bye.

Hey, yep, I just got here.

Yep, okay.

Yes, Charles, I'm just
getting to my room now.

Okay, I'll see you tomorrow.

Good luck with the bank meeting.

Okay, bye.

- Hey Kate, I thought I
might be seeing you here.

Heard about that broken
fence post down by the creek.

I saved a spot in the barn from Molly.

- I appreciate that.

How's Walter and the kids?

- Oh, they're good.

Driving me to my absolute
wits end, but good.

You want your usual room?

- That'd be great.

- All right, here's your key.

And the HBO's working tonight.

- Great, thanks Luc.

- Merry Christmas.

- Merry Christmas.

- Let's see what the scene
is like in the big city.

- Oh, Lucy, scandalous.

No wonder you and Walter keep
inviting me over for drinks.

Very progressive, but no.

Hello Joan.

- Oh, hello Cowgirl.

Not married, no kids.

Less than a mile away.

Cute dog.

- Automatic swipe, right.

- Yes, the hot cowgirl.

- Whoa.

That's never happened before.

- That was quick.

- Okay, you can do this.

Hi.

I like your dog.

- Oh, hot cowgirl.

I bet she can start a fire from nothing.

Thanks.

And what am I, chopped liver?

- No, you're cute too.

Sorry, I'm bad at this.

- Everyone's bad at this.

It's awkward.

We seem to be relatively close.

Maybe this would be better in person?

Would you wanna grab a drink?

Oh my God.

- Oh he's bold.

Do I wanna grab a drink?

Of course I do.

Joan's hot and I just
talk to animals or myself,

I guess really just to myself.

Okay.

Yes, I'd love to.

The Wet Whistle is close.

Do you wanna meet there?

- Sounds lovely.

30 minutes?

- Oh, what am I doing?

What am I doing?

Yes.

- Oh.

Oh my God.

- Oh my God.

- I have to get ready.

- I have to get ready.

I didn't bring anything with me.

- Oh, make up, make up, make up.

- What do I have, what do I have?

I have ChapStick.

Jesus, Kate ChapStick.

Matches. Great.

- Joan.

- Hi, Cowgirl.

- Hi.

I'll have a beer please.

- I'm not usually this bold
asking someone to meet so soon.

- Yeah, I'm not usually this bold

in saying yes to meeting someone so soon.

But I'm glad you did.

I work with animals

so I can go days without
seeing another person.

- Oh, that's cool, what do you do?

- I work at a zoo.

What do you do?

- Oh, just boring business stuff,

PowerPoints and social media.

I didn't know there
was zoo in Fox Springs.

- Oh, there's not.

I'm just traveling through,

to see a horse for the zoo.

I'm only here for a little bit.

- I'm only here for a couple days too,

so I guess it was good timing.

- Yes, yeah.

What are you in town for?

- Just dumb family stuff
I'd rather not talk about.

- I understand dumb family stuff.

- Oh.

To dumb families.

- To dumb families.

- So Cowgirl, what's your real name?

- Katherine.

- Katherine.

That's a pretty name for a pretty lady.

Now, why did I do that?

That was bad, wasn't it?

- Yeah it kind of was.

Oh, it was kinda cute.

- Okay.

- Just like you.

That wasn't any better.

- Oh, I'm so sorry, I
have to take care of this.

Oh crap.

- I'm guessing everything's not okay.

- No, it's it's an emergency.

- Oh no.

- I have to deal with this
former social media director,

who's gone rogue and is just posting.

- Social media,

that's an emergency?

- Oh in my line of work it is.

- Interesting line of work.

- Look, I really, I want
this and I want you,

- But, it's a social media emergency.

- It's a little bigger than that.

See, we have this buyers meeting

and if they say that we have
a bad social media footprint.

I'm not making this
sound any better, am I?

- Nope.

I hope you fix it.

- I am so sorry.

- It's fine.

It's nice to meet you Joan.

- It's nice to meet you too.

- The zoo, ah, Kate.

- Haleye.

Haleye Hollis?

- Hi, can I help you?

- I'm the Uber.

- The Uber?

- Your brother sent me.

- Oh, sorry, yeah.

I was up all night
dealing with an emergency.

- Oh gosh, I'm sorry, is everybody okay?

- Oh yeah, it was a
social media emergency.

- Oh, that's a thing.

- Oh, in my line of.

Nevermind.

You know, Walter?

Okay, Walter, just gimme a minute

and I'll meet you down there.

- Yeah, yeah, no problem.

- Thanks Walter.
- I'll be in the truck.

- Okay, sounds good.

Thank you.
- Yeah.

- Okay.

- Hey girl.

- Hi Meemaw.

- Look at you, sight for sore eyes.

My Christmas present.

- Aw, Meemaw, you're wearing
your special earrings.

- Yeah, Papa gave these to me.

- Well, I've always loved them on you.

- Hey Meemaw.

- Haleye's here.

- The prodigal child half returned.

- Don't start.

- Okay, I'm gonna go finish making lunch.

- Come here.

Good to have you back.

- Thanks.

- Let's get you settled in

and grab some lunch, right.
- All right, that sounds good.

Oh, how'd the bank meeting go?

- We'll talk about that later.

- Okay.

- Where you going?

- I'm gonna go get settled
and definitely shower.

- Yeah, but you're
staying in the house now.

- Oh, no, thank you,
I'll stay in the cottage.

- I set up your old room.

- You know, I don't like staying there.

- All that therapy

and you still can't stay in your old room?

- Can, I just, I love the cottage,

so I'll stay there, it's cozy.

- Kate lives there.

- Of course, the perfect ranch hand.

She was never in place?

- Well, no, she's been
a big help around here.

So no, she stays here.

- Yeah, I know, you've only
mentioned how great she is

in every conversation we've had.

- Yeah, well that's why it's
so great to have you here.

Come on.

- Okay, I'm coming.

Come on dork.

- I'm coming.

- There she is.

- Hi Meemaw.

- Hey.
- Bacon at lunch?

- Yeah.

Bacon's good at any meal, you know that.

- Meemaw.

How's your room?

- It's good.

- So the Cooper's goats got out.

They chew through the fence
and Charles had to go grab 'em.

He's been gone a while.

- A goat, okay, Meemaw,
he is not good at this.

- Well, you were always a
better rancher than he was.

Remember that time you,
I think you were 10,

and you found that calf

with her head stuck through the fence.

- Well it took me like an hour, right?

- Yeah.
- Maybe over.

To calm her down enough to
get her head back through.

- Yeah.

- Well, I'm here and I'm ready to help.

- I'm so glad.

Charles has been really
stressed this last year.

He thinks I don't notice, but I see it.

Hey.

There's our goat herder.

- Oh man.

Those things are faster
than you'd think they'd be.

- Oh, don't let it get your goat.

You know, like go get your goat?

- Oh yeah, I see what you did there.

Okay.
- Still got it.

- Still got it.

Thank you.

Bacon, nice.

I'm telling you, Kate's gonna
have to mend that fence.

I fixed it temporarily, but
it's just not gonna hold.

- Well, come on, everybody eat up.

Haleye's ready to get started on things.

- Okay.

Let's get to it.

This is where all the revenues come from.

And these are all the
expenses I've had to cut.

- Wait, well, Christmas Hay
Ride is down 60% from last year?

Well that's what's killing you.

You were growing each year
from the Pumpkin Patch

and the Hayride, and then this year.

Well what's your marketing strategy?

- I don't know, Kate could
tell you more about that.

- Kate?

She's why there's lost revenue.

- No, she's the reason
revenues grown each year,

except for this year.

- Okay well, this is the
only year that matters

and it looks like she's a
huge strain on the ranch.

- No, no, no, no, no, no, she's not.

- Right, you can start by cutting her

and rent the cottage as an Airbnb.

She's a huge expense.

And if the Christmas Hayride is.

- 60% down.

- Hot cowgirl.

- Yeah, the Berts are running
their own Christmas Hayride

to put us out of business,
and it's working.

- Kate, this is Haleye.

- Joan?

- Haleye.

- Yes, it's Haleye, Haleye Joan Hollis.

- Oh, you're Haleye.

Haleye is your name?

- And you're Katherine and
you don't work at a zoo.

- My friends call me Kate.

There are animals here
and people look at 'em.

So should I call you Haleye Joan

or is it just Haleye by itself?

- Just Haleye.

- You two know each other?

- No.
- No.

- Okay, well good, Kate,
you're just in time,

'cause Haleye and I were just starting

to go over the ranch business.

- Dumb family stuff?

Yes, I heard, I'm an expensive line item.

- Ah, well.

- No, I only meant that.

- Look, we've already had
to cut a lot of people.

Running the Hayride,

moving the cattle to different pastures,

animal emergencies in general upkeep

with just two people is tough.

- Yeah.

- I was just looking at the
numbers and the marketing.

- Oh, I'm sure we can solve this

with a little social media help.

I mean, it's just some family stuff.

- What are you saying that for?

- Nothing.

- Kate.

Kate.

What's that about?

- Oh, what about?

- Haleye didn't mean to
suggest that we fire you.

- Yes she did.

- Okay, well that's
obviously not gonna happen.

You know, she's just
stressed, like we all are.

But I really need her to
remember why she loves the ranch.

I need her to come back more often.

Meemaw really misses her.

- I don't know why.

- Well, could you please
just try to get along,

it's just for a few days.

- Fine.

But she needs to stay outta my way.

There's a lot of work to do

and I don't have time to babysit.

- Okay, I'll make sure
she stays outta your way.

Just yeah, be nice.

- I am nice.

- Aha, yeah, no, yeah, not a problem.

Okay, I just wanna give it
one more look over Eric.

Great, we totally have interest,

so let's move the numbers up by 20%.

If this happens, you
can retire early Hals.

- Okay, well that is great news.

I'll make those adjustments.

I just have to redo all the slides.

But I will get the
presentation over to tomorrow.

Has to be tomorrow.

- Eric, it will be.

Oh Meemaw, you scared me.

- I'm sorry.

I just love seeing you
sitting in that chair.

How's it going?

- Well, I'm trying to figure it out.

But with the move to intense grazing,

it's just so much more time.

- Oh yeah. Kate and Charles have to,

they have to move fencing every two days

and we had to let Adam
go, so it's just them.

- And the Christmas
Hayride revenue is down

because of the Berts.

- Yes, they started their
own Hayride in town.

And so folks just don't wanna
drive as far as us anymore.

- Bert Jr. is a total creep.

And someone's made an
offer to buy this place?

- The Berts.

But they're a couple of
weasels, I'm not selling to 'em.

- Okay, Meemaw, look, I get that

but they've made a really solid offer.

You could take this money and retire,

buy place in Fox Springs,
stop working so hard.

- That sounds terrible.

Honey, I love this place.

And I love working with Kate and Charles.

- But this is a really good deal.

It's hard to pass up.

- If I just not signed that loan.

- You had to,

to take care of Papa.

- I know.

I wanna give this ranch
to you and Charles.

Not everything's about money Haleye.

- No, of course, I know that.

- This is where your parents met,

it's where they got married,
it's where I met Papa.

He came one year for the Christmas Hayride

and he was standing on a bail of hay,

and he looked so handsome.

- You fell into his arms.

- This is more than a business for us.

- I'm not gonna give up.

I will keep trying.

- That's my girl.

You know, you should go talk to Kate.

She knows this place inside
and out and she loves it.

- She's not very fond of me.

- Well you can win her over.

Now the Hayride's starting in
a few minutes, you should go.

- I haven't rode the Hayride in forever.

- Exactly.

And she's done some
really fun things with it.

- Yeah, I bet she has.

- Go.

Come on.

- Hi y'all, welcome to the
Hollis Hills Christmas Hayride.

There's some hot chocolate in the barn,

if you wanna grab a cup,

and we'll get headed out shortly.

- Hot cocoa's a nice touch.

- That's nothing.

Of course the Berts stole our
idea for their new Hayride.

- Well, we can agree, they're snakes.

- Yes they are.

You going on the ride?

Want a help up?

- I can get on a buckboard

by myself.
- Okay.

- Whoa.

- The trailer shifted.

- Yeah, they do that sometimes.

- I'm gonna get some hot
chocolate myself, so.

- Okay.

Careful.
- I got it, thank you.

- Merry Christmas.

- That was fun.

- Yeah.

- The red nose looks good on you.

- Oh.

Thank you.

- You really stepped things up.

It used to be just a few
colored lights on the trees

and singing Christmas carols.

But that was the next level.

- Thank you.

Yeah, it's been fun.

Last year we did the Grinch theme.

- Oh.

Well you did a really great
job for the final year.

- Final year?

- Well yeah, maybe.

I mean I'm trying to say positive

for Meemaw on Charles, but.

- So that's it, you're just gonna give up.

- Apparently I'm the
only practical one here.

Look, I have to make sure

that my grandma has enough to retire

and selling will make that happen.

- And what about Charles?

- Charles will be fine.

He used to work in tech
before he came here.

So he can get a job anywhere.

- But he loves the ranch.

We should have done the
Grinch theme again this year,

we could have just used you.

I gotta put this stuff away.

- Presentation done.

And send.

Voila.

- This right here is hot cocoa

made from your Papa's world famous recipe.

It is Kate's favorite,

and I'd like you to take it to the cottage

and extend an olive branch.

- She hates me.

- She doesn't know you.

- She called me the Grinch.

- It was just her worry talking.

We all want the same thing.

- To save the ranch.

- Oh honey, it's more than that.

It's what this place means to all of us.

- Are you worried about losing the ranch?

- Not really, no.

- What if I don't figure it out?

- You don't have to
worry like this, honey.

We just need to do what we can see to do,

one step at a time.

- I hope to have that one day.

- You will.

Now stop stalling.

- I'm not stalling.

- You're stalling.

Take this out.
- Well, where's my cup?

- Come on.

- All right.

Just for you.

- Okay, bye, bye.

- Bye.

- I come in peace with hot cocoa.

- Are you nuts?

It's freezing outside.

And you came over here dressed like that?

- Yeah.

In retrospect it was a bad idea.

- Oh my goodness,

I can't believe you walked
over here in this weather.

- I brought hot cocoa.

- Oh, well maybe I'll have
to pour it all over you

to warm you up, here.

- Thank you.

Meemaw said it's your favorite.

- Oh, you city girls.

I'll get us some cups.

- What are you cooking?

It smells amazing.

- Oh deer stew.

It's your Papa's recipe.

- Meemaw gave you his recipe?

- She did.

Here, have some of your olive branch.

- That's good.

- So hold on, you walked
over here in this weather,

dressed like that, just
to bring me hot chocolate.

- Meemaw asked me to.

She said you might be able
to give me some insight

on how to save this place.

- That's hopeful of her.

I don't think I can.

I've looked at those numbers

and that bank loan should be illegal.

- I know.

They need to sell, right?

- I mean, I don't see any way around it.

But I didn't go to Harvard or anything.

- Dartmouth, but you don't
need an Ivy League education

to see how much trouble this place is in.

- Well, Dartmouth, maybe if you
got to know the ranch again,

you'd come up with some great idea.

- I went on the Hayride.

- There's more to the ranch

than just the Christmas Hayride.

Look, you never know where
inspirational come from.

Besides I'm sure you could
use a break from the city.

- I like the city.

- You know I'm right.

- What is happening?

- Power's out.

- I can see that, why?

- Snowstorm.

- Do you have a generator?

- A small one, enough to
get the lights back on.

It's fine.
- Oh, I have no cell service.

- Yeah, the tower's probably
down, it's pretty typical.

- Okay, so we're just stranded here

with no power, no heat
and no cell service.

- It's fine, okay.

It'll be fine.

We'll call the house.

See told you.

Ranch Babe to Big Momma.

- Ranch Babe?

This is Big
Momma, go ahead Ranch Babe.

- Just wanted to let y'all
know that the power's out,

but we're safe and sound.

All right, good.

You got everything you need.

- 10-4, generator kicked in,

so we'll just wait the storm out.

10-4 Ranch Babe.

Call if you need something, over and out.

- Problem solved.

- Wow.

- I did not pick my handle.

- Sure you didn't.

Now that smells just like I remember.

- Wanna taste?

- Thank you.

- Want a cup?

- Okay.

Thank you.

- Yes.

- So, Ranch Babe.

Let's try this whole getting
to know you thing again.

- Okay, fine.

What would you like to know, Joan?

- Well, since you don't work at a zoo,

just tell me about yourself.

- Oh, you wanna know about
my dumb family stuff?

- You know all about mine.

- I'm originally from Kentucky, Lexington.

My parents bread and raised horses.

- Isn't there a lot of money in that?

- Yes, and a lot of entitled rich kids

trotting around one champion horses

that they never have to brush or saddle.

- Like the little helmets
and riding pants and whips.

- Yep, the whole deal.

Private schools, pageants, lavish parties,

disguised as charity fundraisers.

- Kate, the rich princess.

That does not seem like you.

- It's not.

I tried to be the perfect
daughter for a while.

- And what happened?

- I love the horses and the work,

but not the pretentious people.

My parents wanted a
junior league beauty queen

and I just wanted to be a cowgirl

and date the other princesses.

- Ah.

- Their money, their rules.

I couldn't do it.

Anyway, so I left.

- So you haven't talked
to your family at all?

- No, but I haven't really tried.

I mean, we got into a
huge fight before I left.

We're all too stubborn
to pick up the phone.

- You're too stubborn, you?

Sorry, that's really tough.

- Yeah, what about you?

What was the teenage Haleye like?

- Well, I spent a lot of
years being a sullen teenager.

- Really?

I've seen some pictures
of you and your parents

enjoying the ranch.

- I did.

But that was a long time ago.

Well, I'm gonna head back to the house,

but thank you, thank you for
the stew and for warming me up.

- You shouldn't leave.

The storm, you should
just crash here tonight.

- Oh no, well look, I walked
here, I can walk back.

It's easy, don't worry.

- All right.

- Goodnight.

I'm gonna need pajamas.

How's it going over there?

- Fine yeah just super comfortable.

- Well, you sure are moving around a lot.

- It's fine, just trying
to get situated that's all.

- Okay, well I'm not
gonna be able to sleep

if you're gonna be tossing
and turning all night.

- Well, I just, look,
I've never really slept

with people here, so it's
fine, I'm fine, I'm fine.

- Okay well, now I feel
bad that I took your bed.

Just get up here, this is silly.

- Well, I feel bad that you feel bad.

- Well then come on,

if you're not gonna do
it for your own comfort,

can you just do it so we
can both get to sleep?

- Fine.

Well, I don't know, maybe
if we sleep back to back.

Can you just scooch in?

No.

- I don't sleep next to the wall.

- Well, me too.

- Sorry.

- Okay.

- Excuse me.

Can you just share the blanket.

- Gosh, just trying to
get comfortable, okay.

- Okay, now you're,

can you not dig your arm in my back?

- All right sorry.

I didn't mean to, just not
used to sleeping to the wall.

- You good?

- No.

- Now I am.

I think we're in.

- It's toasty.

- Yeah, it's kinda nice, right?

- Yeah, it is kinda nice.

- I mean we're warm and we're not freezing

and I'm not sleeping on the floor, so.

- Yeah, no, that part, that part's nice.

- Yeah, there's that.

- Goodnight Kate.

- Goodnight Haleye.

You two alive in there?

- Oh.

Yeah, we're fine.

Just a second.

Ah, ow.

Hi.

- Good morning.
- Morning.

- Never seen you asleep this late before.

- Yeah, I guess it must
have been really out.

- Well, glad to see you two
found a way to keep warm.

Well I brought you some fresh
coffee and fresh peach scones.

- Coffee, please thank you.

- So what is it that you
plan on getting into today?

- Actually, well, I was thinking

that maybe I could tag
along with Kate today

and get to know the ranch.

- You're gonna ride out with Kate?

- Oh yeah, you never know where
inspiration can come from.

- Huh.

You okay with that?

- Huh?

Oh yeah, I'll take care of her.

- Okay.

Stay warm out there today.

It's cold today.
- Yeah.

- Have a good day.
- All right, you too.

I bet you didn't bring any
riding clothes, did you?

- Nope.

I bet you can start a fire from nothing.

- What?

- Oh, I just like, I
used to know this girl

who said she wanted a husband

who could build a fire from nothing.

- Well, you can't build
a fire from nothing.

- No, I mean like you could
just find stuff and make a fire.

I don't know, I guess
it made her feel like

she could be with someone

who could take care of
her in dire circumstances.

- Yeah, well that's dumb.

I mean, I can start a fire from nothing,

but I would never put in a
position where I would have to.

Here, you can use my riding gear.

Coffee.

- Thank you.

- Now Bucky, this is Haleye,
she's gonna ride you today.

So you be nice.

- You're giving me horse named Bucky?

- Yeah.

She doesn't know what it means.

- But she understood what
you just said to her.

- Probably not.

Okay.

- Okay, look, I'm not a total amateur.

- Oh, okay, I'm sorry, by all means.

- Well, I haven't been to
Pilates in over a week,

what do you expect?

- Yeah, that's totally it.

You know, there's no shame
in using the stool, Haleye.

There's nobody here to impress.

- Okay, well I'm not
trying to impress you.

- Good, 'cause you're definitely not.

- Okay, fine, I'll use the stool.

Thank you.

It's just the clothes,

they're limiting my range of motion.

- Totally.

You good?

- Yes, thank you.

- All right then here we go.

- All right Bucky.

- My favorite tree, we
call her the Grand Oak.

- It's my favorite tree too.

- I wanna show you something.

- What is it?

- It's a surprise.

- A surprise out here, is it a Starbucks?

- I found it a few years ago, let's see.

Ah here, there it is.

- Meemaw and Papa's initials, wow.

- And check this one out.

- My mom and dad.

I have to go.

- Haleye wait.

- Hey.

- There's no saving it.

We have to sell.

Like I've been through
this a million times and,

it's just, it is crazy and it's reckless

to try to save this place.

- This is our home, Haleye.

- That's the problem.

That's the problem.

You keep putting all this
sentimental value on a business.

You can't see what it's so obviously clear

to anybody with a calculator.

- This is our family home.

And once they died,
this was your home too.

- And this was never my home.

You love this place, I get that.

But I don't belong here.

- You know that you do.

Look, you loved this place once, right,

and I think that you belong
here just as much as.

- I don't know where I belong.

Maybe I don't belong anywhere.

- No, you know, that's not true.

You know you belong here with us.

Okay, hey, we're your family.

- I don't know what to say.

How old were you?

- Oh, here.

I'm not sure.

- No, I mean, when they,

the car accident.

- They died three weeks
before my 13th birthday.

- I bet high school was tough.

- It was.

And I thought that leaving this
place would fix everything.

- Did it?

- No, that took thousands
of dollars of therapy.

- Oh well you're totally fine then.

- Yeah.

- I don't think you really hate it here.

- Tell that to my brother.

- I think you love it,

but it reminds you of your
parents and that's painful.

And you don't come around
because it reminds you of them.

- You don't know me, Kate.

That girl had her parents.

- Hey.

Look, I know there's a
lot of pain for you here.

That's understandable.

But there's joy too.

- That's a great speech, Kate.

Maybe you should take your own advice.

- We're not talking about me.

- Well, let's talk about you.

Because you can stand there

and you can judge my life and my choices,

but you're too stubborn
to call your own family.

- Listen, that's different.

- Yes, yes it is 'cause you
still have family to call

and they may not be perfect,
but they're still alive

and you can just try to talk to them.

I can't,

I can never tell them how much I love them

or if my dating life sucks
or if I'm even in love.

They're gone.

Steve, hey, I need a
flight out, right now.

That's impossible, Haleye.

It's not like a major airport.

Best I can do with tomorrow afternoon.

- Okay just, fine, whatever.

Just can you just get me outta
here as soon as possible?

You okay?

- Yeah, just dumb family stuff.

Can you just send me the details
when you have them please?

Thank you.

- Family meeting.

Okay.

- So honey, Charles told me
what you said last night.

And I know you tried so hard.

So we're gonna take your
advice and sell to Bert.

- I'm sorry Meemaw, I'm sorry.

- No, it's not your fault, not your fault.

- Wait, where's Kate?

- Kate?

- Well, I mean, yeah, isn't
she a part of this too?

- Yeah, she left early
this morning for town.

- Oh.

- You know, I was thinking,

that maybe I could come
back for Christmas,

last one at the ranch.

- That would be so nice.

I'm so glad you came.

I still believe in you Haleye.

- Okay.

- Okay, yeah.

- Sorry, I couldn't figure anything out.

- I'm really glad you came home.

- Well, I miss Meemaw

and you.

- Well, yeah, then you
should come home more often.

- I will.

But just because I realized

that maybe I do have a
little cowgirl in me.

- Yeah.
- More than I thought.

- I bet.

- So what are you gonna do?

- I don't know.

I don't think my goat herding career

is off to a great start, so we'll see.

- Yeah, we can agree on that.

- But after we get things
settled here, then I'll decide.

We lost a whole lot, but
we still have a whole lot.

- Love you dork.

- I love you dork.

- Hey.

Heard anything from Eric?

- No, no, he's been in
meetings since I got back.

- That's a good sign, right?

- Maybe.

Speak of the devil.

Eric wants me upstairs immediately.

- Ah, moment of truth.

You got this.

- Knock on wood, knock on wood.

- Knock on wood, manifest.

- Bye.
- Bye.

- Come on in.

Look at it Hals, whole stuffy universe.

Hals, we sold.

- Wait, wait, wait, no we,
you're not joking, right, we did?

- We did.

And this is for you.

- Oh my God.

- I know right.

But you earned it.

We all totally earned it, you know.

Your presentation really sealed the deal.

- This is amazing.

- Right on,

consensual hugging.

- Thank you.

- Yeah.

I mean the retreat was a
dud, so you really saved us.

- The retreat was a dud?

I thought that was a great idea.

- Right, me too.

When we got there, it
was all like brunches

and parties, champagne,
just constant pampering.

- And that was bad?

- Yeah, I wanted to rough it.

Sleep under the stars, rope
cows, like ride horses,

tough guy stuff you know.

Like just rugged man bonding.

Like, "Brokeback Mountain" you know."

- Eric, have you actually
seen "Brokeback Mountain?"

- Just the first half.

But it looked really cool,

just some macho guys out in the wilderness

becoming best friends.

- Yeah.

- Oh, oh, there was one part
that was actually really cool.

They brought in this energy
healer and she did this

like Chilean butterfly
naming party or something.

- Oh you mean like an a naming ceremony?

- Yeah.

- Wait, Masonry?

- Masonry, yeah, yeah, you heard of her?

She's amazing.

That was the first time
I felt truly connected,

just out there by the fire

with the sounds of nature, you know.

No screens, no distractions, just nothing.

- Yeah, I do know.

I actually know exactly what you mean.

So did the universe give you a name?

- Totally.

- Oh.

- And it was?

- Eric.

I know, right?

- Yeah.

- Yeah, that was, I really
felt my own power that night.

- Oh yeah, right of course.
- Yeah.

- Anyway, Masonry, she's like a genius.

She's got like three
million Snap Back followers.

Oh, oh dude, dude, if you stay,

you should bring her on to
do some social media stuff.

- Stay?

- Yeah, with that check,

you don't have to work here
anymore, if you don't want to,

you can do whatever you want.

- Yeah, yeah, I guess.

Wait, oh my God, oh my God.

Eric,

you're right, you're right.

Genius.

- Well, everything we
discussed is in here.

- Lawyers made all the changes yesterday.

All you gotta do is get your
Meemaw to sign her name.

Then I take it to my
lawyers this afternoon,

before they close today.

- Where's Kate?

- We still have Christmas Hayrides.

- Not for long.

- You can't take away
our Christmas spirit.

No, we're gonna continue
doing these Hayrides

for the joy of the season until,

until we have to leave.

All right, Bert, let's
go have her sign 'em.

- Thank you, Charlie.

I'll give you all to the
end of the year to vacate,

my Christmas gift to you.

- You're a real Santa Claus.

Here she comes.

- I don't know who that is with her.

- Whoa, that's what I wanted to see.

- What do you think you're doing?

- We're not selling.

- Haleye, the environment.

- Oh, I'm sorry Masonry,

I was going for like, you know a thing.

- But Haleye really, what are you doing?

And who is that?

- That is our new energy healer
and social media director.

- Your whata?

- Oh, I'm sorry, Bert,
this doesn't concern you

since you don't own this place.

And as of this moment, you're
officially trespassing.

- Tell that to the bank, honey.

- Oh, well I just did.

See, I went there first and
I settled all of our debt

and I went to the lawyer's office.

They should be contacting you shortly.

Meemaw, would you do the honors?

- Yeah.

- Bert and mini Bert

get off my ranch.

- This isn't over.

- Oh yes it is, honey.

- Bye.

Did you really pay the bank back?

- Yep, we're debt free.

- How'd you get the money?

- Remember that huge
presentation I was working on?

- Yeah.

- Well it paid off.

- Wow, you didn't have to do that.

- No, I know I didn't
have to, I wanted to.

I love this place

and I belong here.

- Yes you do.

- It's so good to have you back here.

Really, who is that?

- Right.

- Okay, let's be honest,

you are not great at this
whole ranching thing.

But you are great at, you
know, operations, numbers.

And if we just have enough
of a ranch experience,

we can make this place really profitable.

And I have an idea for that.

- You're right, Haleye, it's perfect.

The energy surrounding this place

is like a feminine power goddess.

I can feel it everywhere.

- There have been some
really powerful women

who've come through here.

- Really, who is this?

- I'm Masonry.

Wow, you are so authentic.

- Thank you.

Listen, why don't you come with me

and we'll go make a
peach pie to celebrate.

- Oh my God.

Peaches are my lunar cycle fruit.

- Oh, even better, come on.

- Haleye, really?

- Yep, yep.

It was a blind date.

- Okay, so what is this big idea?

- Hollis Hills Outdoor Ranch Experience.

Give overworked city slickers like me

a break from the smog in their screens.

They can come here, they can ride horses,

play cowboy and reconnect with nature.

- Ah, that is a really good idea.

- I know.

- Well does that mean
you're gonna come back then?

- Well, I can't let you
do all the ranching.

- Oh good.

Woo.

Come here.

It's gonna be so good to have you back.

And Kate's gonna love having you here too.

- Wait, Kate, where is she?

- She's getting the Hayrides ready.

- I have an idea.

- Oh, okay.

What do I do with Masonry?

- Whoa, your energy is like, wow.

- Merry Christmas.

- Merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas.

Bye.

Yes.

Yes.

You came back.

- Just swoop in at the very
last second to save the day.

- What do you mean?

- The ranch, we're debt free.

- Really?

- Yeah.

- I took your advice
and I called my parents.

- Oh yeah, how did it go?

- It went really well.

You were right.

I haven't stopped thinking about you.

- Me too.

Me thinking about you, not
me thinking about myself.

'Cause if I thought of myself,
I would be really weird.

- Haleye.

- Yeah.

- This the part where you
stop talking and kiss me.

- I love this part.
