[♪♪♪]

Okay, Allie, listen to me,

I really need you
to be here on time today.

There's macaroni and cheese
in the fridge for the kids.

And when they get home,

can you please make sure that
Zach starts his homework?

Okay, Allie,
I really need to know

that I can count on you.

All right, bye.

[Beeps phone off]

Mom!

Look, mom!

Come on, kids,
we're going to be late.

Mom, look, I'm a bird!

Okay, sweetie,

can you get
your stuff together, please?

We've got to go to school.
We're going to be late.

[Squawking]

Mom, guess what
kind of a bird I am.

Guess, guess!

Careful, silly bird,

you don't want to
hurt your wings.

I'm an eagle,
like on a dollar.

Those were super good
pancakes, mom.

I think the restaurant
should let you be the cook.

Thank you.

Hey, did you do your homework?
Let me see.

I hate math, mom.

I can't do it.

Haley, go get your backpack.

Okay, I can help.

Look, there are
four cups in a quart.

So if I buy a quart
of ice cream tonight,

and all of us get some,

how much
does each of us get?

Mom! Mom!

I want to fly
like Peter Pan,

to never never land!

Then start with
flying to the car. Go.

Yay!

One and a third
cups of ice cream,

for each of us.

See? You're
a math genius.

Only when it comes
to ice cream.

Be careful on the stairs.

Zach, can you please make sure

that you guys come
straight home after school.

Allie's going to meet you here.

Zach?

Deal.

Okay.

Do we have enough money
for ice cream?

-Maybe.
-Uh-oh.

What?

The bat lady's
watching us.

What?

[Chuckles awkwardly]

Honey, you shouldn't
call people names, okay?

Mrs. Bat lady.

She's scary.

Maybe that's why dad
hasn't come to visit.

Sweetie, we're still new
to this neighborhood.

Maybe she's just curious.

This is the town where grandpa
used to live, right, mom?

Yes, it is.

I wish I knew my grandpa.

Me too.

[Car's starter whining]

No, no, no, no.

Oh, no.

Can't we get a new car?

Oh, no, not again, mom.

What do we do?

[Sighs heavily]

We're going to be positive,
because we're a team, right?

This car is a dud.

But we love this car.

We've been through so much
with this car.

If it doesn't start,
then we'll just...

We'll just get a good workout
walking to school.

[Car starts suddenly,
they yelp in triumph]

Yes!

It started, finally.

Yes. Okay.

[Cell phone ringing]

I'm almost there.

Hello?

Shoot.

Oh, gosh, sorry!

Slow down, young lady!

Whatever it is can wait.

Where is he?

-I've got kids, too.
-I know.

And I have to
feed those kids.

I'm sorry.

Nobody wants to wait
half an hour

for a cup of coffee.

This is your last chance.

Orders up!

Let's go!

What tables
need help?

[Humming nonchalantly]

[Chuckles fondly]

Okay, Omaha.

Omaha, ready...

Set... hike!

Marshall!

Marshall!

You don't have to yell.

I'm not deaf.

You didn't re-order the
sweet Tuesday doll collection

or the hooded sweatshirts.

I'll do it now.

Don't you love it
when we put Thanksgiving away

and put up
Christmas decorations?

We haven't received
the cookbooks,

or the candles,

or the glassware
that I asked for.

Do you know why
that is, sweetheart?

Uh-oh.

Because you didn't call in those
orders either.

Marshall, it's three
weeks till Christmas.

I thought we were going to make
some changes around here.

Well, I'll call it in.

No, it's too late.
I've done it already.

Wilson's is moving into
the 21st century.

What do you mean?

I bought a new
software program.

Well, not me, specifically,

Jason did.

Jason did, and Jason is also
going to install it.

Jason?

He's not going to come
all the way here

from his big-shot
wall street job

to install
our little software program.

He called, said he had
a little time on his hands.

He's on his way home.

[Chuckles happily]

Whee!

Hi, Christine.
Can we talk?

Hi, ed. Sure.

You're a tough person
to track down.

I know,

it's been hard with the kids,
and work,

and Christmas is coming soon.

It's just,
I've been really busy.

Too busy to pay your rent?

I know I owe you,

and I'm going to pay you
as soon as I can.

The past two months?

Absolutely.

I need you to pay the rent
by next week,

or I'm going to
have to evict you.

It's Christmas time.

Ed, I've got two kids.

I'm doing everything that I can.

I will pay you
as soon as I have it.

I can't help it, Christine.

I'm not a charity.

You know
how to reach me.

That's great...

You like it?

Mom! Guess what?

Dad's here!

I see that.

Where's Allie?

She never showed up.

I called you, mom,
but no answer.

I know, sweetheart,
my cell phone died.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry
if you were scared.

I got here
as fast as I could.

Your landlord was here.

Something about rent.

Need a hand with that?

You look good, Christine.

You been working out?

Mom!

Look what dad got me.

Wow, that's really something.

I got a paint set.

You did?

Wow, pasta, Mac and cheese,
ice cream.

Yes!

Can you guys
go upstairs

to your room for a little while

so dad and I can talk?

Dad just got here.

I know, sweetie,

but I'm going to bring up
ice cream for you, okay?

One and a third cups
for each of us, mom,

remember?

Okay.

Bye, dad.

Come on.

You're not supposed to make
unscheduled visits.

The kids were alone.

They weren't supposed to be.

I miss not seeing my kids more.

Then why did you leave them?

Was it Rachel?
Or Deirdre?

Oh, wait, sorry, Kelly.
Wait, what was her name?

We-- we weren't getting along.

I tried, for a long time, Brad.

If you want to see the kids,

and you want to spend
more time with Zach and Haley,

help me.

I need child support.

This is the second time
Zach's had to call me, okay?

The kids shouldn't
be left alone.

Just go.
Please, just go.

What's the big deal with
moving out here anyways, huh?

Why Wilsonville?

I feel a sense
of connection here.

Yeah, well, it took me
half an hour to get here.

Not good in an emergency.

Please just leave.

Please.

[Scoffs]

Merry Christmas, Christine.

What is it?

It's a locket.

From your father.

Oh... it's a star, mama.

Mm-hmm.

The north star.

Your dad said
as long as you follow that star,

you'll never get lost.

No matter how hard
things in life get,

the star shows us
that there's always a way out.

As long as the star
is shining...

There's hope.

[Laughing and chatting]

Okay, merry Christmas!

Hey, how are
you kids doing?

I'll see you later, eh?

You'll be back?

Okay, Marshall...

Uh-oh.

Close your eyes.

You get one guess.

Oh, it's one of
your sinful cinnamon buns.

Wait. [Inhaling]

Oh, with that sticky,
gooey stuff on top.

[Laughing]

Oh, Betty...

Aw, yeah.

I need that bun.

Uh-uh-uh.

When are you going to start
that team up again?

I don't know.

I don't know,
I'm too old and tired.

Marshall, every kid in town buys
athletic gear from you,

and you don't even sponsor
a little league team anymore?

We need more teams
to be competitive.

Now, Betty's bombers
wants your team back again.

I'll think
about it, Betty.

It'll be baseball season
before you know it.

Here.

You get it together,
Marshall, will you?

Mm...

Oh! Oh, I think
you just took

about a week
off my life.

Thank you, Betty.

Marshall! Marshall!

Our inventory is a mess.

You know that, right?

They just called,

and there is a whole
shipment of tablecloths

in the warehouse,

and they've been there
for a week.

Oh come on, I'm just trying
to keep you on your toes.

Grandpa.

Here he is!

Yay!

Oh...hello, handsome.

Hey, what's this?

Oh, I'm just trying
to shake things up a bit.

Marshall likes it.

Looks good.

Thank you.

I picked up the software program
you asked for.

Oh, when
can you install it?

Already done,

and I have
a new laptop for you.

So now you can
track the inventory.

Cool?

Very cool.

Thank you.

Well, I'd better go
and get those tablecloths.

See you.

Bye.

Whoa, gosh,
it's good to see you.

You're a sight
for sore eyes.

How did you manage
to get time off work?

Oh, well, I got laid off.

Oh...

Downsizing.

Ah.

Pretty brutal out in the world.

Well, that's what
home and family is all about,

a safe haven.

After you get finished
installing

whatever it is
you're installing,

I could put you on the floor.

Well, I can't
stay long, grandpa.

I'm trying to snag
job interviews wherever I can.

Dad is trying
to set up an interview

with a major international bank.

Okay.

We're here for you.

I know you're only
here for a bit,

but it would
mean a lot to me

if you could help out,

if you have the time,

like you did
in high school.

Sure, grandpa.

[Chuckles in triumph]

Mom, I'm flying!

Haley, put that
seat belt back on.

Mom, know what?

Yesterday in school,
my teacher taught me

that if me, you
and Haley

each have
two cups of ice cream,

that's one
and a half quarts.

Wow, I'm impressed.

So can we?

Whoa!

Mom, what just happened?

Oh, my gosh.

[Horn blaring]

Stay in the car.

Zach, call 911!

[Horn blaring]

Miss, can you hear me?

Are you okay?

Can you talk?

[Gasping]

Oh, here, here, here.

Let's get you out.

I'm going to lay you down.

[Gasping and wheezing]

Here...

Here, here, here, here.

Ma'am? Ma'am, no, no, no.
Stay with me.

My name is Christine.

No, no, stay with me.

What do I do,
what do I do?

Okay, uh...

[Gasping with effort]

Stay with me.

Please say everything
will be okay.

Can you hear me?

Stay with me.

[Blowing]

[Distant sirens wail]

You're going to be okay.

The ambulance
is on its way.

Do you know her?

No, I just found her
slumped in the car.

We'll check her purse
for personal info.

Did she have
a heart attack?

She did.

We'll take it from here.

Okay.

Hey, you guys okay?

Mama, what happened?

Well, that lady
was really sick,

but because
you said a prayer,

and you called 911--
great job--

I think she's going
to be okay. Okay?

I was scared.

I know.
I was, too.

I wasn't.

[Cell phone rings]

Your work's
been calling.

Oh, shoot!
Get in the car.

Excuse me.

[Cell phone ringing]
Hi!

A woman was having
a heart attack.

I know, I'll be there.

Tell rod I'll be there.

I can explain.

Don't want to hear it.

A woman was having
a heart attack

it's always something
with you, Christine.

The kids, the car...

Rod, I'm not
making this up.

She had a heart attack.

She crashed her car
near my house.

What was I supposed to do,
just leave her there?

I'll have your severance
check ready tomorrow.

Return your uniform
when you pick it up.

You can't do this to me.

It's Christmas.

Orders up!

-Oh!
-Hey, watch out--

I'm sorry. Sorry.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Wait, are you... you okay?

Yeah.

Yeah, thanks.

Oh, no, no, no,
where's the locket?

Oh, no...

Oh, what am I going to do?

Christine?

Are you
Christine Eisley?

Yeah.

Your ex-husband
petitioned the court

for custody of the children.

What?

Obviously,

this isn't the time
to have this conversation.

So why don't I
come by your place

later in the day?

My name is
Patricia Addison.

I'm from
family services.

Here's my card.

How's she doing?

She's going to
be okay.

We've got
her stabilized,

but there's no question
it was a heart attack.

She'll be here
for a while.

What can we do?

We need to
keep her quiet.

She's very lucky.

If that young woman
hadn't performed CPR,

we would have lost her.

Can we see her?

Yes, but just
for a few minutes.

[Monitors beep steadily]

Judy...

Judy?

I'm not so good

with this mushy stuff,

but I want you to know that...

These last five years

have been some of
the best years of my life.

I'll be honest,

I wasn't sure
if it would work out.

After losing Vivian,

I didn't think
I'd ever get married again.

I don't know what I'd do
without you.

I'm going out
on a limb here,

marrying you was probably

one of the smartest things
I ever did in my life.

Not "the" smartest?

And what do you mean
"going out on a limb?"

You were awake
this whole time, listening?

You weren't even crying.

That is a dirty trick.

I have to
nearly croak

before I get to hear

some of the gooey,
mushy stuff from you.

How are you
feeling?

Grandpa and I
were really worried.

Good enough.

I want to get out of here.

You're not going anywhere.

You need to take it easy.

No, I want to find that girl
who saved my life.

Oh, no,
I'll find her for you.

What's her name?

[Sighs]

Christine.

The paramedics said
her name was Christine.

And she works at, um...

Uh...

Patterson's.

I'm on it.

Grandpa, I'll come back
for you later.

Oh...

[Chuckling fondly]

[Betty laughing warmly]

Enjoy that.

[Laughing in delight]

[Shivers in the cold]

[Tires screech]

[Gasps]

Hey, Joe.

Hey, Jason.

Excuse me,

is there someone working here
named Christine?

No.

She saved a woman's life
this morning,

heart attack.

I wanted to thank her.

No. Sorry.

Wish I could help.

No Christine here.

Hmm.

[Jolly music plays,
bustle of busy crowd]

[Laughter and conversation]

Whoo-hoo, okay, Rosemary,
do your magic

and don't be stingy.

Nobody's watching their weight

when they're eating
one of these.

Me? Stingy?

I'm the icing queen.

[Laughing]

Hey...

You showed up for work
at the wrong restaurant.

Oh. [Chuckles]

I don't work there
anymore, so...

Let me guess,

rod gave you his old,

"I got to feed my kids, too,"
routine?

How did you know?

Ah, two of my girls
are Patterson vets.

I bet he didn't tell you

that both his kids
are out of the house.

The usual, John?

Firing people is a power trip
for some guys.

Yeah. Well,
it's a bad time of year

to be out of a job.

You're not from here, are you?

No, I'm not.

I moved here
about four months ago.

Husband left, I had to
take care of the kids, so...

Sweetheart...

You're in the right place.

This town has been
a new beginning

for lots of us.

Well, uh, your customers,
I'm sorry to take up your time.

Can I have
two chocolate chip cookies?

Sure.

Thanks.

Lots of customers
and not enough help.

That's the problem.

-Do you think they're hiring?
-I know so.

I'm Betty.

Betty the boss.

[Laughing]

Here, taste this.

We put lemon
and cranberry in them

for the holidays.

They taste so good,

it makes you want to
smack your mama.

I have no idea what that means,

but my mother always said it,

so there you go.

You can start tomorrow.

Possible?

Yes.

Yes, of course, I can.

Thank you.

Well, I usually like to know
my employees' names, so...

I'm sorry,
I'm Christine Eisley.

Okay, Christine.

Thank you.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Okay.

[Doorbell rings]

Just a minute!

[Sighs]

Hi.

Hi. Is this
a good time?

Yes, come on in.

Oh, great,
thank you.

Sure.

The kids
are just upstairs.

Would you like
a cup of coffee?

No, no, I'm fine.

Okay.

Oh, sorry
about my house.

It seems like there's
never enough time.

Oh, don't worry.

My place is
always messy, too.

[Sighing] Okay.

All right,

so your legal name
is Angela Christine Eisley?

Yes.

Most people just
call me Christine.

Your ex-husband has made
allegations against you.

It's my job
to evaluate those claims.

Now, he says

you can't pay the rent,

and now you've lost
your job.

That just happened today,

and I was fired for being late

because a woman
was having a heart attack,

and I was helping her.

Obviously,

I wasn't going to let
somebody die to save my job.

So, for the record,
you have no job?

Actually,
do you believe in miracles?

I got another job
within the hour.

I work now at Betty's bakery,
and I'm starting tomorrow.

Hmm.

Your ex also claims that
the kids are left here alone,

or are under the supervision
of a teenager.

That only happened twice.

The sitter didn't show up,
I don't know why.

The kids walk home
from school every day,

which is
just around the corner.

You understand

they're too young
to be left here alone.

Yes, I didn't have
any other choice.

Zach's very responsible.

You know, we have programs
available to help

if you get into
a tight spot.

I had such short notice.
You know.

Could their father
have watched them?

If you want someone responsible,

it's definitely not Brad.

He hasn't even paid me
child support

in six months.

Have you taken him to court?

Yes. He still won't pay.

Hmm.

Okay, so you have
two weeks

to file a response
with the court.

Well, I can't afford a lawyer.

I can help you with that.

Okay.

What... what's going to happen?

[Sighs]

I don't know.

But I do believe in miracles.

[♪♪♪]

Well, we want
some of the dolls

facing one another...

[Chuckles]

[Cell phone vibrates]

Excuse me.

This is Jason.

Oh, right.

My dad said you'd be calling.

That's not a problem.

I can do that for you.

Don't worry, I'll do
whatever it takes.

Okay, great,
talk soon.

Whoa, much better.

By the way.
Store rules.

No cell phones while
you're on the floor.

Sorry, grandpa.

Dad set up an interview
for me back in New York.

Financial services.

Could be a game changer.

Is that
what you want to do?

Yeah, I mean,
it's an exciting area.

Dad said you have to go
where the opportunities are.

That's why he took
that engineering job

in San Francisco.

You dad was never
a small-town guy.

Let's face it,

you didn't want to go
to the city with your parents,

you wanted to finish
your high school here.

Maybe you're different.

He likes that I'm competing
in the corporate world.

Well, I'm sure
he's very proud of you,

but I don't want you
to look back one day

and think you spent
a career in New York

to make your dad happy.

Well, I'm just trying
to work out what's next.

It's what
I want, grandpa.

Yeah, I know
it's not easy.

You know, I got an idea.

Go outside, get some air
and just think about it.

You never know what life
is going to throw at you.

Okay.

And while you're out,

swing by Betty's bakery

and grab a cinnamon roll.

Rosemary puts on
a layer of icing to die for.

You sure that's good for you?

Get two.

Oh, and Judy was asking again
about that Christine girl.

Uh... working on it.

Staying warm?

Here.

Oh, excuse me.

Wear Rosemary's until
I get one for you.

I have them
specially made.

You do?

Oh...

Thank you so much.

You have no idea how much
this is helping me.

[Chuckles warmly]

Okay. Sorry.

Slow down, slow down,
it's not a race.

[Timer dings]

[Gasps] My bread.

There. Thank you.

[Chuckles in wonder]

Hi.

Are you following me?

You're following me, aren't you?

What?

No, no, I've happened
to see you around, and...

You know, you're not
fooling anybody.

Brad hired you to follow me,
I get it.

So, what do you want?

Brad? No, I was...

I was told to pick up
a couple of cinnamon rolls.

Oh, really?

Well, you can't have 'em.

How's that?

Go tell you-know-who
to come on in

and get 'em himself.

Betty, this guy
who was just in here?

He was right outside Patterson's

when rod fired me,

and then he was hanging around
the square watching me.

And then
he was on his cell phone

a little while later,
following me.

I think my ex hired him
as a spy.

What's this guy look like?

He's tall, dark hair,

kind of deep blue eyes,

great smile.

Sounds dangerous, all right.

Those and those.

Those other two look like
they belong in Candyland.

Okay, then how about--

I am bored.

I am so bored,
I'm going out of my mind.

[Sighing]
Can you hear me out there?

No one still sick
could sound this irritated!

Take it easy.

You need to get
back to the store.

I've got it handled.

No, this is our busiest
season, Marshall.

I've got it handled.

Okay, this is
all you can have for now.

Yogurt?

That isn't even
real food.

If this is what the rest of
my life is going to look like,

I might as well check out now.

How's the software
coming along?

Uh, grandpa and I

are going to start
working on it today.

He should have it down
by the time I leave.

Marshall, could you please
ask the nurse

if I could have some toast?

I can't eat this.
This isn't real food.

I'm starving.

Toast?

Yeah.

Jason...

Jason, look,

I know that you want to
get back to New York,

but with me in here,

your grandpa needs some help.

So I was wondering
if you could...

You know, if you could...

Uh, yeah.

Sure.

[Sighs in relief]

Okay.

Then what
are you doing

standing here
watching me grow old?

Go on.

Wait, wait, honey.

Come here. Jason.

Look, um, the best
Christmas present

I could ever get

would be
to look Christine in the eye

and thank her
for saving my life.

Now, if she doesn't
work at Patterson's,

then she works somewhere else.

Find her.

Don't worry, I will.

Do I have to do
everything myself?

You.

You.

Getting a manicure?

No, I'm looking for someone.

I'm not the guy
you think I am, Rosemary.

I'm not the girl
you think I am.

In fact, you might be shocked
to know the real Rosemary.

Well, I live in New York,
so nothing surprises me.

Look, I'm one of
the good guys.

I could give you
personal references,

like my mother, my grandfather,

my manicurist.

See you 'round.

I've been up and down
main street, grandpa.

I don't think this girl exists.

If she does,
she probably left town.

[Cell phone chiming]

So, what's happening
with the interview?

Uh, I'm going.

It's international banking,
which I've done before.

I think it'll be a good fit.

Hmm.

Oh, uh...

I ran into that Rosemary,
from the bakery?

I can't figure her out.

She's pretty mysterious.

Mysterious? Rosemary?

You're crazy.

How about those kids?

They're future
credit card holders.

Hi.

[Zach]: Hi.
[Haley]: Hi.

Hey, kids,
can I help you?

I like your dolls
in the window.

Yeah, that's the sweet Tuesday
doll collection.

A salesgirl will show you
what we've got in stock.

What are you interested in?

-Baseball.
-Baseball.

I love baseball.

You know, they used to call me
"clutch" in high school.

Clutch?

Yeah, I won
a big game

with a triple play,

yeah, it was pretty awesome.

Follow me.

You look like
a catcher.

[Whispering] Whoa...

Let's give this a try.

Put your head
down there, yeah.

Whoa, you look awesome.

Really?

Yeah. You know, a catcher

is one of the most important
players on the team.

A pitcher can't
pitch a good game

without help from his catcher.

Okay, turn around.

Now, crouch down.

Yup, good.

Now rock back
on your heels.

It's all about balance.

You ready?

Nice catch.

You ever played?

A little.

Ah, thought so.

You've got good instincts.

You know, there's little league

starts in spring.

Can I come
back here sometime,

and you could teach me
some more?

Yeah, sure.

Hey, you got a name?

I'm Zach and that's Haley.

I've gotta go.

Come on, Haley.

Mom doesn't like us late.

Cute kids.

Did they buy anything?

Nope.

Hey, grandpa,
you need a website.

Why?

It's the future.

So, what's with all
the sports memorabilia?

I was a sports mom.

Load up my son, Dennis,
and his friends,

and take them to practice,
go to the games,

cheer myself hoarse.

Aw, they were great times.

Mm...

What about you?

What made you move
to Wilsonville?

More people move out

than move in.

Um, I never knew my dad,

but my mom said

that he was from
somewhere around here.

When Brad and I
split up,

I didn't really have
anywhere else to go,

so I just packed up the kids,

and here we are.

I have to say, though,

it really does
feel more like home

than any place
I've ever lived.

What was your dad's name?

I might know the family.

Just-- "dad."

My mom died when I was little
and she never told me his name.

But she did tell me that
he was the love of her life.

Mm...

Mom! Mom!

I saw everything I wanted
for Christmas

right up the street!

You did? Hi!

Oh, hi.

That's great.

What beautiful children.

Hi. I'm Betty.

Well, introduce
yourselves.

Hi. I'm Zach.
Nice to meet you.

And I'm Haley.
Nice to meet you, too.

[Chuckles fondly]

Where did you see all this
stuff that you wanted?

Wilson's.

Oh.

Look at all this
baseball stuff.

Wow.

Do you like baseball?

I think I want to be a catcher.

[Gasps in delight]
A catcher?

That's what my son played.

And for that perfect answer,

you get...

A Betty's bombers cap.

Whoa.

Hey...

[Laughing in delight]

Okay, you guys, get washed up.

I'm going to start dinner.

Mom? Mom!

I need to play
little league this spring.

Clutch thinks I'm good.

Who's clutch?

This guy who works
at Wilson's.

He's awesome.

He know everything
about baseball.

Really?

So can I?

We'll talk
about it later.

What's the matter, mama?

Nothing.

Let's go have some
hot chocolate and marshmallows.

Yeah!

[Sighs]

Eviction
at Christmas?

Maybe I can get a second job
on weekends, or something.

Do me a favor,

just hang in there
a little while longer, huh?

Hey, George.

Can I get a coffee to go,
with cream, please?

Why can't I get rid of you?

Brad is not a good guy,

I don't know why
you're helping him.

I feel like
I'm a broken record.

Who's Brad?

Come on, Brad's the guy
that hired you to spy on me.

I heard your phone call.

No, you heard wrong.

That phone call was about
a job interview.

I don't know Brad.

I told you, Rosemary,
I'm not that guy.

My name--

what?

Nothing.

Another pack?

I have a sweet tooth.

I need two cinnamon rolls
to go, please.

Hey, do you
like baseball?

No, I'm not much
of a sports person.

Hmm.

Well, here's a little advice.

If you want to survive
in this place,

you need to learn

the high school players'
names and their stats.

See this guy
over here, in the hat?

That's George Jarvis.

Short stop at Wilson high.

He played with my dad,

and they won state that year,

when Jarvis smacked a Homer

in the bottom
of the ninth.

Wilsonville is like that.

People feel connected here.

That it?

Just let me know
if you need some coaching.

[Dialing cell phone]

Hey, clutch.

Hey, Zach, how's it going?

We're being evicted.

Oh.

Can I look around?

Yeah, sure,

you know what, hang on,
I'll be right back.

I got something
for you.

I want you
to hold this like this.

With your fingers
on the stitches.

Good job.

Throw it up in the air
a couple times,

get the feel for it.

There you go.

A ball player has to feel
comfortable with the ball.

Now, you take that home
and you practice with it, okay?

Okay.

Thanks.

I gotta go.

Sleep with it
if you have to.

[Sighs heavily]

[Laughter]

Did I mention I love
Christmas trees?

Awesome. Wow!

Thank you.

Alright.

We're going to go
look at the toys.

Okay.

Stay close.
Don't go too far.

Okay! We will!

That's the doll I want.

So, I spoke with Brad,

and I informed him
you have a new job.

He also said he hadn't
had anyone spying on you.

Maybe I overreacted.

Look, the court's
primary interest

is the well-being
of the children,

and you're obviously
a good mother.

I hope so.

So, when you
show up in court,

just make sure you have
as many supporting documents

as possible.

Have Betty give you
a character reference.

Also bring
your tax returns

and all other past
employment records.

[Chuckles ruefully]
I can't lose my kids.

Miracles, remember?

[Kids giggling]

What do you see,
sweetie?

That's what I want, mama.

Look at her.

[Chuckles]

[Sighs heavily]

I love Christmas.

The smells, the memories.

[Insistent knocking]

I'm after apple cobbler!

We're closed!

I can't hear you
and I'm not going away!

Let her in.

[Chuckling in delight]

I thought I was going
to starve to death.

Christine,
meet my old pal, glory.

Glory, Christine.

Hello.

Hello.

Glory comes by
for day-old cupcakes.

And she just happens to run

the best day care center
in wilsonville.

[Tsks] Aw...

Do you really?

I'm looking for a place
to send my children

on Christmas break.

Oh, darlin', I'm sorry,
we're full to the rafters.

Oh, okay, I'll keep looking.

Christine,

would you mind picking me up
a bag of sugar downstairs?

Sure.

Thanks.

[Shivering]

Make room for her kids.

Hey, you're leaning on me.

I'll sit on you
if you don't help her out.

[Sighs] Betty...

Think I'm that easy?

I've known you
since high school,

so I know
what "easy" means to you.

Yeah, and I married him.

[Laughing]

[Starter whining and struggling]

[Sighing]

[Knocks on window]

Hi.

Hi.

My car won't start.

I heard.
Can I help?

Sure. Thanks.

Pop the hood.

I think I owe you an apology.

Only one?

Why do you keep
coming to the bakery?

My grandfather loves
your cinnamon rolls.

Seems he can't live
without them.

Really?

[Sighs, chuckling]

Wow, when things go wrong,

they really go wrong
all at once.

How does it look?

Try it again.

[Starter chugging]

Huh.

What does your gas Gauge say?

Quarter of a tank.

I think you've got
a faulty Gauge.

You're out of gas.

Great, that's just what I need.

Okay, I'm going to walk
to the gas station

and pick up a couple of gallons.

I'll drive you.

Yeah, uh...

Look...

If you googled me,

it would say, "Jason,

"trustworthy,
good athlete in high school,

"floundered a little bit

"after graduation,

"saw the light in college,
worked hard,

"recently fired
through no fault of his own,

"still a little confused

as to what he's supposed
to do with his life."

That sounds very honest.

Might be my only chance.

Okay.

[Laughing and chatting]

Do you see it?

Oh, yeah.

The little Dipper
right there.

Did you know that this star
at the end of the handle

is the north star.

When I was a kid,

grandpa used to drive me
out to the lake,

and we'd stretch out
on the hood of the car,

and look up into the night sky,

and he'd say, "Jason,

"if you ever get
lost in the woods,

"the stars will
lead you home.

If you follow this star,
you'll never get lost."

Everything okay?

Yeah.

Someone else in my life

used to talk to me
about the north star.

Hey, how did you
find your way to wilsonville?

Oh, um...

Long story short,

my mother met this guy

in her last summer of college
in Boston,

and they fell in love,

and he's my dad.

And I never knew him,

but I know he's from
around here,

so here I am.

I have two kids.

Okay.

Just...

So, that's where
Brad comes in?

Yes. Yes.

Well, not anymore.

Look, do you want to
grab a cup of coffee?

I'd love to.

I have a half an hour.

Okay, let me grab my car.

I'll meet you at Bailey's cafe.

Okay.

Thank you.

See you
in a few minutes.

See you in a few.

You're getting
much, much better.

[Groans]

Make sure that
you tell your mom

I helped you with
your homework, okay?

Okay.

[Haley shrieking]

Look, I'm flying
like a bird!

[Haley shrieking]

Stop it, Haley,
I can't think.

[Shrieking]

Look, I'm flying
like a bird!

[Crashing, Haley yelps]

[Gasps] Haley!

Haley!

Haley?

Haley!

What happened?
Are you okay?

Haley!

Go, get a blanket.

And don't worry,
everything will be okay.

Call an ambulance.

Oh...

[♪♪♪]

[Woman over P.A.]:
Paging Dr. Benson.

Dr. Benson to room 202.

Hi, mama.
I'm so sorry.

You scared me
half to death.

It's my fault.

No, I'm just glad
that you were there

to take her to the hospital.

I didn't.

Who did?

Her.

Mrs. Meredith,
thank you.

Call me Dolly.

I was just watching
from the window

when your cutie pie here
climbed up on the railing.

I was just about to tell her
to stop when she fell.

Oh, my.

I was a nurse,
so I knew I could help.

She was pretty scared.

I'm sorry we haven't spoken.

Oh...

I admit, I'm a little shy,

I don't like to intrude.

I do try to keep my eye
on the children,

especially if you
run out for something.

Guess I'm always
hovering around.

I suppose that's how
I got my nickname,

"the bat lady."

[Chuckles]

[Singing gently]

♪ As days go by
tenderness grows ♪

♪ I love you from
your head to your toes ♪

♪ you make the days
lovely and fine ♪

♪ because of you
life shines... ♪

How's that bump
on your head doing?

Ouch! Don't touch it.

Do you want
something to eat?

No, I'm not
hungry.

Dad!

Hey.

Hey, buddy.

Boy, Haley
really got whacked.

Yeah.

Hey, baby, you okay?

I hurt, daddy.

Yeah, you took
a little tumble, huh?

Who was with you?

Allie.

Allie?

The babysitter?

Uh-huh.

Can I speak to you a minute?

Sure.

Hey, hey--

you screwed up, Christine.

Big time.

You left our kids

with an irresponsible
teenage girl, again.

Way to go.

She's not irresponsible.
It was an accident.

An accident?

An accident
that wouldn't have happened

if the mother had been home
being a mother.

You know what, Brad,

you never even paid attention
to Zach and Haley

until we left town,

and all this
huffing and puffing,

about you taking
the kids from me?

It's not about you
loving them,

you're angry with me,
and you're trying to hurt me.

Look, I am not walking away from
being their father,

you got that?

You've got a wonderful way
of showing fatherhood.

Okay, yeah, you want to talk
about parental responsibility?

Is that it?

Because what you just did
here tonight

is going to change things.

I'm reporting you
to family services,

and I... [chuckling]
I think we know what they'll do.

Well, you've got two strikes
against you, too, Brad.

One, you walked out
on your kids,

and two, you haven't paid me
a cent of child support,

so why don't you
talk to me

about parental
responsibility.

Look, everything's
going to be okay.

I'm so glad you're here.

I called you
on my the over.

I thought you should probably
know about this.

Well, Christine called me
two hours ago,

right after the accident.

Look, I know
Christine means well,

but she gets overwhelmed easily.

[Chuckles wryly]

Excuse me.

Kids, bills, job.

I just,

I think having custody
of the children

is a little bit
too much for her.

Right, well, that's something
the court will decide.

Right.

Thanks for being
so brave today.

I thought Haley
was hurt bad.

Yeah.

You're a good
big brother.

I'll be glad
when she comes home.

Me too.

I'm sorry that dad
got so mad at you.

Well, I mean, I don't think
he means to get mad,

I think maybe he just
has a lot on his mind.

You know?

No.

Mom, don't you remember?

Dad used to get mad
all the time.

I'm glad you're my mom.

Me too.

Aren't you a little young
to be all alone in the hospital?

My mom's at work.

She's coming
to take me home later.

I can't wait to get out of here.

Yeah.

[Quietly] Me too.

[Sighing]

Don't you need that?

Are you kidding?

They make you use those things
so you'll think,

"there must really be
something wrong with me,"

and spend more money.

[Sighs]

I'm thinking
of escaping.

Escaping?

Won't you get into trouble?

[Chuckles]

Oh, sweetheart, let me
tell you a little secret

about living a longer life.

Some of the most fun
you will ever have in your life

comes from doing things
that will get you in trouble.

Really?

True.

You know, on second thought,

don't tell anyone
I told you that, okay?

So...

What are you working on?

My spelling.

Uh-huh.

That's pretty.

Yeah.

Yeah, it is, isn't it?

It just kind of
appeared out of nowhere.

What do you mean?

Well, the nurse
found it in my things

the day they brought me
to the hospital.

It's a locket,

with no key.

So where did it come from?

I'm thinking...

Maybe an angel gave it to me.

Wow.

Yeah.

Would you like to have it?

Really?

Yeah, sure.

Well, someone passed it
on to me when I needed help,

so I'd like to
pass it on to you.

Ah, but you have to
promise me one thing.

What?

That you'll pass it on
to someone else who needs help.

Promise.

Real promise?

Promise.

Okay.

There you go.

Oh, look at that.

Beautiful.

Hi.

Hi.

You stood me up.

I'm so sorry,
I couldn't help it.

My daughter took a fall

and she got rushed
to the hospital.

Oh, I'm so sorry.
Is she okay?

Yeah, she's fine, thank you.

It was just, um...

Things got complicated.

I'm sorry.

Thanks.

Um, do you want to try again?

Yeah.

Yeah, I'd like that a lot.

Tomorrow?

Yeah, I have an hour break
at noon tomorrow.

Great.

Well, um,
I'll see you at Bailey's.

Okay.

Okay.

What's going on?

I found this
in the basement.

Just because you and Judy
are updating the store

doesn't mean we should lose
where it all came from.

You are this community,
let's not forget that.

I'm sorry, grandpa.

What do you think?

No.

No, no, no, go for it.

I like it that you're taking
an interest in this store.

No, I love that.

Keep it up.

So it turns out
my stalker isn't a stalker,

he's just a fan
of cinnamon rolls.

[Betty laughs]

He seems really nice.

And?

And...

We kind of have a date.

Oh, hallelujah!

♪ Hallelujah ♪

[Laughing]

So, tell me more about Dennis.

Dennis?

Yeah.

Aw...

Well, Dennis loved sports,

but he really loved the ocean.

Couldn't keep him
out of the water.

Fishing. The outdoors.

He got work on a crab boat.

Oh, so many stories to tell.

He was a good-looking kid, huh?

Yeah, he sure is.

I bet he had a lot of
girlfriends in high school.

Yep, he did.

Problem was, he couldn't
make up his mind,

but, when he did, he was loyal.

That's good.

You don't find that every day.

Just before the accident,

he called me
from a payphone on the dock--

what accident?

Oh, honey, Dennis died.

There was a terrible storm
and his ship went down.

Oh, no.

I think he'd fallen in love.

He said, "mom,

"I've got the biggest surprise
for you,

"but I'm going to wait
until I get home

to tell you in person."

I think it was good news.

But I never got it.

Speaking of good news.

Besides having
a great job

with the most wonderful boss
in the world,

you've also got
a great day care center

to take your kids to.

I do?

Did I get into glory's place?

Glory found room,

and there's a scholarship
to go with it, too.

Really?

I...

I don't know what to say.

Well, don't get
those tears in my icing.

We're making Christmas cookies,
not pretzels.

I like the hospital.

Everyone
is so nice to me.

Good.

What is this?

Haley, where did you get this?

A nice old lady
gave it to me.

What lady?

She came to my room.

She says
an angel gave it to her.

Sweetie, this my locket.

My mother gave this to me.

I've never seen you wear it.

I know, I was always
so afraid of losing it,

and then I did,

and now here it is,
on you.

Then you should have it back.

No, sweetie,
I think you should keep it.

I can't, mama.
I made a promise.

You made a promise?
What promise?

I promised the old lady

that I'd give this locket

to someone who needs help
more than me.

Thank you.

You're such a good girl.

You put on your hat and gloves.

I'm going go talk to the nurse.

I've got some money, Christine,

and I've hired
a smart lawyer.

I know you're
being evicted.

I want my kids back.

Grandpa,
they need you upstairs.

They never leave me alone.

Judy says you've given up
on finding Christine.

No. No, she's just
nowhere to be found.

But I got to admit
I've been a little distracted.

I met a girl.

We're having lunch today.

Good for you.

Oh, don't worry.
We'll eventually find her.

And I got my interview confirmed
in New York,

so I...

I may have to cancel the lunch.

Well, not making a decision
is still a decision.

I'm not sure what to do.

You need to decide

so the consequences
are your own.

You're right, grandpa.
I'm going to do the interview.

Okay. Good.

Decisions feel
good, right?

Yeah. Yeah...

But if I get this job,

I might not be back
for Christmas.

I know.

Hey, can you make a delivery
before you go?

Yeah, sure.

It's glory's place.

It's a day care center
at the edge of town.

We give as much
as we can to help out.

I'll say goodbye
to Judy for you.

Follow your dream.

This place looks
really nice, huh?

I don't want to go
to a day care.

I'm not a baby
like Haley.

Shut up, Zach!

Do not talk to your
brother like that, Haley.

You guys might have fun.

Maybe you'll make
some new friends.

I've got enough friends.

Listen, here's the deal.

I cannot afford to keep paying
for a babysitter, okay?

We've got to start
saving some money.

Let's go! Let's go!

Okay.

We're a family, right?

No matter what?

Good times and bad.

What do you say

we decorate
the Christmas tree tonight?

Yeah!

Okay.

Come on in.

Why don't you sit
in that chair?

[Chatting quietly]

[♪♪♪]

Hey, clutch!

I didn't know you worked here!

Hey, Zach.

I don't.
I'm just making a delivery.

So you're not staying?

You know what,
let's get some practice in.

Glory,

you mind
if I take Zach outside,

throw the ball around a little?

Oh, sure.

Getting all
your schoolwork done?

Huh?

Remember, if you want
to play on a team,

you've got to get
your homework done, okay?

Okay.

[Groans with effort]

Oh, now,
don't forget,

keep your fingers on the ball,
not your palm, okay?

Okay, now throw me
the ball,

don't be afraid.

Try and knock me over.

Come on.

Whoa!

Oh, man.

My hand's numb.
That was great.

Great job.

Keep working on that, all right?

Okay.

Everything at home good?

I guess so.

Anything
I can do to help?

Yeah, coach me
in little league?

[Chuckles awkwardly]

I don't know, Zach.

I might not be here
after Christmas.

I live in New York.

I'm heading back there now.

But if I come back,

I'll come by,

we'll play catch.

Deal?

Deal.

Alright.

[Dialing phone]

[Call ringing]

Betty's bakery.

Yeah, is Rosemary available?

Oh, no, she can't
come to the phone.

Is there a message?

Uh, yeah, I'm a friend.

Can you tell her
I can't make our lunch date.

Something came up.
I have to go to New York.

Tell her I'm sorry.

I, uh, I was really looking
forward to seeing her,

but I've got this interview.

As soon as I'm back, I'll call,

okay, I'll tell her, all right.

Rosemary?

Yeah.

Aren't you still
married to Floyd?

Yeah, 10 long years.

Why?

Your boyfriend called,

said he can't make
your lunch date.

[Laughing] What?

[♪♪♪]

[Chatting happily]

Wow, you did a good job.

Hey, how are you doing?

[Chatting]

No, I'm okay, thank you.

[Christmas Carols play]

Here, catch!

Coming through.

[Giggling]

You almost got it.

I almost caught it.

Here, here.

Nice throw.

Hey, Birdy, where's that
little bird that you made?

Oh, it's right here!

Mama!

Oh, I love it!
Can you put it on the tree?

Yeah.

Mom, look at this.

That's great.

Awesome.

Okay, I've got to do
my math homework.

I promised clutch.

Clutch again.

Where did you
see him this time?

At glory's.

He told me I couldn't
play little league

if I didn't do all my homework.

Really?

I'm going to have to
meet this guy.

[Sighing]
Um, can you guys sit down

just before you go?

I want to talk to you
about something.

Okay.

Um...

So, um,

when Christmas is over,

we're going to have to find
another place to live,

some place not quite as big
and expensive as this house.

But we always move.

I know, honey.

It also means that, um,

Santa Claus might not bring you
everything you asked for

this year,

because he's...

Going to be asking his elves

to work extra hard
for next year.

It's okay, mom.

We can wait till next year
for Santa, right, Haley?

Yeah, right.

You guys are the best.

Now, go do
your math homework.

Can you make me
another bird?

Yeah.

[Sniffling]

[Sighs]

Thank you, sweetheart.

You made my day.

Oh...

[Humming happily]

[Laughing]

I thought the doctor said
you should relax for a few days,

not just 24 hours.

[Laughing]
How can I relax

when Christmas
is six days away?

Oh, the store looks
so beautiful, Marshall.

Clearly,

Jason really
helped you a lot.

Oh, yeah, he did.

I still don't understand
that stupid software program

he installed.

[Chuckling] That's
why you have me.

Oh!

Look at you.

What are you
doing back here?

Well...

I had to tell you I did it,

I really did it.

I didn't think
that I would, but I did.

[Sighs]

It's a lot to think about.

Money, lifestyle,

future advancement.

Well, New York's
a great town.

Yeah,

everything you'd ever
want is in New York.

Well, congratulations, Jay.

You made
the right decision.

Your dad will be so happy

you're following
in his footsteps.

His footsteps?

No way.

I have an idea.

You said you needed help
around here.

How about I work for you?

Learn the family
business.

If you'll have me.

[Gasps in shock]

Grandpa, I've seen
how everyone respects you.

[Sighs]

This town is built on
people like you.

I don't belong in New York.

I belong here with you.

[Sighs happily]

Welcome home.

Oh, welcome home.

[Clearing throat awkwardly]

[Sighs]

[Laughs in delight]

[Call ringing]

Betty's bakery.
Can I help you?

Oh, hi, uh, is
Rosemary available?

She left about an hour ago.

[Groans] Great. Um...

You called yesterday,
didn't you?

Listen, I don't mean
to break your heart,

but Rosemary is married.

She used to be,
but not anymore.

She's way too good
for that guy.

He's a real jerk.

Hey, Zach.

Hi.

Want to go
throw the ball around?

Yeah.

All right,
grab some gloves.

Jason,

there's a man outside

who says he's Zach
and Haley's father.

He wants to take the kids.

I need back-up.

Yeah.

[Menacing]
I want my kids. Now.

This is not the way
to handle this.

You cannot march in here
and pick up children

without the proper
notification.

That's against the law.

Go call their mother.

You don't need
to call her.

[Jason]: You're not
going in there.

Who do you think you are, huh?

Step down.
Call the mother.

Yeah, go ahead,
call her.

Tell her I'm done
putting up with this.

If you are
those children's father,

then you should
act like it

instead of
acting like a fool.

I want my kids.

Look, I don't know much
about the law,

but attempting to take your kids
without authorization

can get you
in big trouble.

So calm down

and back off.

Did Brad get to the kids?

Well, he tried to,

but they have
no idea he was here.

Oh, thank god.

The judge will never
Grant him custody

after this.

You are not going to have
to worry about him anymore.

[Sighs in relief]

Glory, you're so brave
to stand up to him.

No, no, it wasn't me

who stopped Brad
from getting to your kids,

it was Jason.

Jason was not going to let
Brad take Zach and Haley.

Jason? Jason who?

Hey, mom.

You!

You.

Mom!

Hi, honey.

Wait, you're
Zach and Haley's mom?

Yes.

This is unbelievable.

Zach and Haley
are great kids.

I know,
I'm incredibly blessed.

Snack time.

[Children all cheering]

I'm-I'm sorry I doubted you.

No.

No, it's okay.

Look, I'm just a guy
you bumped into on the street.

How could you know?

Thank you for standing
up to my ex.

I think you owe me.

I do.
I totally owe you.

Anything.

Almost anything.

You stood me up, actually.

No, my interview
in New York came through.

I called to let you know.

I'm sorry, did you not get
the message, Rosemary?

Right...

Okay, so I'm not Rosemary.

I'm Christine.

My name is Christine Eisley.

And I work with Rosemary,

so I was wearing her apron
that day in the bakery,

but I didn't know
if I could trust you,

so I didn't bother to--

-Christine?
-Yeah.

Wait. Weird, um...

I have been looking
all over town

for a girl named Christine.

She saved the life of a woman
who was having a heart attack.

Yes, that was me.

That happened to me
on my way to work,

and the day I bumped into you
was the day I lost my job.

Wait...

Okay, this is unbelievable.

I, uh...

[Chuckling in wonder]

I gotta go.

Just...

You know,

I've been thinking about this

ever since
you bumped into me,

and ever since
you jumped in front of my car,

ever since I saw you
outside of the bakery,

and inside the bakery...

Well...

I got that off my mind.

What a Christmas.

Judy...

Are these the inventory
figures for today,

or last week?

I'm confused.

Marshall,
don't worry about it.

Jason knows
what he's doing.

-[Jason]: I found her!
-Who?

Judy, I found the woman
who saved your life.

Where is she?

Oh, gosh,
she's unbelievable.

I've been seeing this
woman all over town

and I never knew.

She, um... [sighing]

She's got these really
big brown eyes,

hair down to
about here,

a great smile, and--

Jason, who is she?

Huh?

Who is she?

She's a single mom
with two great kids.

Christine Eisley.

She lives right here
in wilsonville.

[Doorbell rings]

[Zach]: Mom,
I can't sleep!

Keep trying.

Are you
Christine Eisley?

Yes.

Sign here.

Oh, I didn't order anything.

Where is all this from?

It's a delivery from Wilson's.

It's an anonymous sender.

Here you go.

Um...

Perfect.
Thank you, thank you.

That's for you.

Thank you.

And merry Christmas!

Thank you.

Merry Christmas.

[Gasps]

"Thanks for your courage
and kindness."

[Gasping in shock]

[Chuckling]
Merry Christmas.

Give my best to Simon.

[Chuckling]

Can I help you?

Yes, hi.

I received a delivery
from here last night,

but I didn't order anything.

Christine Eisley?

You're Christine?

Yes.

No, the order was correct.

Um... I'm sorry,
who-who sent it?

My wife and I did.

I'm Marshall Wilson.

I don't understand.

Come with me.

Judy?

Yeah?

This is Christine.

Oh, sweetheart.

You're the woman
from the accident.

Oh, you saved my life.

I'm so glad you're okay.

Oh...

I owe you everything.

No, no, honestly,

I did what anyone
would have done.

I was late getting my kids
off to school,

I was late to work,

I just was in the right place

at the right time.

No, you were meant
to be there.

Really, I did
what anyone else would do.

The gifts and the money,
it's too much.

Oh, on the contrary,
it isn't nearly enough.

[Marshall]: You saved
two lives that day.

This is my grandson, Jason.

We've met.

Did you know about
all of this yesterday?

Well, when I found you,

I knew I had to tell Judy
and grandpa right away.

I want you to tell me
everything.

[Sighing]

[Laughing]

I can't believe everything
that's happened this week.

[Chuckles warmly]

And tomorrow's
Christmas.

And all those phone calls
for Rosemary.

[Laughing]

And you thinking

that Jason Wilson
was following you.

I've known Jason
since he was a kid.

I used to watch him
at little league.

And then later on
in high school.

His dad was my son's
best friend.

[Gasps, wind gusts]

Oh!

Betty, are you all right?

What is it?

That locket,
where did you get it?

Oh, um, my mother.

May I?

Sure.

It doesn't open.

I gave my son this locket...

Just before he went to sea.

No, no, this was my mother's.

It, uh, was given to her
by my father.

After the accident,

they sent me this key...

With his possessions.

Please?

[Whispering] Oh...

God in heaven.

[They read together]:
"Follow your dreams."

Christine...

The good news

Dennis wanted
to tell me about...

Was you.

Your son is my father?

[Gasping in delight]

Oh...

[Both laughing in joy]

[Laughter and conversation]

Wow, look at
all these presents!

I know!
It's overwhelming.

Hey, Zach,

can I, uh, talk
to you for a minute?

Sure, clutch.

This is for you.

Wow.

I want you to be
my catcher in the spring.

Wait, if I'm your catcher,
that means you're my coach.

That's right,

coach Jason
of the Wilson's warriors.

You and me,

we're going to be
on the same team, buddy.

Can we open our presents now?

Now?

I don't know,

it's Christmas Eve.

I'm for it.

How about we all open one each.

-I'm in.
-I think so.

All right,

just one.

-Yes!
-Yes!

[Chuckling in excitement]

Well...

Here's one for Zach.

And here's one
for Haley.

Great.

I wonder what's in here.

What do you think?

[Gasping in wonder]

Look, mama, just what I wanted!

She's so
beautiful, honey.

What is it, Zach?

Wow, a baseball jacket!

Isn't that
something?

Well, who's it from?

Come on, what do
the tags say?

Wait, it says,
"from great grandma."

[Haley]: Grandma?

[Laughs]

[Zach]: We don't have
a great grandma.

I didn't think
you had one either,

and, somehow,
she and I found each other.

Your great grandmother
is Betty.

[Haley]: She is?

For real?

Yes, for real!

For real. Forever real.

[Laughing]

That jacket

belonged to my son,

your grandfather.

His name was Dennis.

Thank you, grandma.

[Zach]:
Thank you, grandma.

Mm...

I just think we should all
remember why we're here.

Because of a tiny little star

that showed me the way
when I was lost.

And brought Judy into my life.

Oh... you gave me back mine.

And mine.

And...

Brought life back to me.

[Chuckles fondly]

Aren't you going to
say anything?

No.

[Laughter]

[Zach]: Whoa.

Ew...

[Chuckling]

[Haley]:
Can I look now?

[All chuckling]

Merry Christmas.

[All together]
Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

[Laughter]

Merry Christmas,
Haley.

[Judy]: Merry Christmas
to everyone!

[Jason]:
Merry Christmas!

[Laughter]

[Zach]: Can we open
even more presents?

[Laughter]

This is the best
Christmas ever.
