Congratulations, Mayor!

Colton.

How's my favorite councilman and future family member?

Good, good, but hey,

look, I'd be even better knowing

how Ian responded to the offer.

I'm on my way to see him now.

All right, perfect.

Well, look, I've spoken to the trader

and he assures me he can appoint someone

who has successfully argued imminent domain cases before.

And hey, he's certain of a win in our case.

Colton, if we have to go that route, we'll call him.

But I've known Ian and Colleen

since they bought that old lighthouse.

I feel confident that Ian's gonna take the deal.

You're too optimistic

because you're too close to the family.

I know you're not pushing as hard

as you have in previous projects.

Look, man, I know it's crazy-

Colton, Colton, I will call you when I'm done, all right?

All right, all right, fine.

Hey, what are you bakin' this time?

Sugar cookies.

Sugar!

Hey [chuckles], the ones with the dustin' of sugar on top,

are the layer of icing?

The ones with the icing.

Mm, those are the best.

One request for this batch, please.

What's that?

Either make a few extra or don't be too upset

should some of them mm, disappear.

Disappear?

I'm [laughs]...

Hey, I'm not sayin'

that I would have anything to do with it [laughs].

Uh huh.

Well, I'm glad you said that

because that would be stealing, Pastor.

Right.

And I thought you taught against such things.

I absolutely do.

I'm just sayin' the Lord

will forgive those who do such things.

- Uh huh. - And as for me,

I just ask that, Father, will you help me

during my time of trouble?

Cut it out.

You are terrible.

Listen, what do you think is keepin' Wanda?

She was supposed to bring Kurt over to hang out with Tommy,

and she's never late.

Right.

That's her.

Leave my cookies alone.

Remember, "Thou shall not steal."

What?

"Thou shall not..."

What?

Surprise!

Bree!

What are you doin' here?

Oh my goodness.

What?

I mean, I'm so happy to see you,

but I didn't think you were gonna be here until next week.

I know, right?

What?

Come on in.

Let's go.

Oh my goodness.

Look at this, it's beautiful.

Ian, look who's here.

Hey, Merry Christmas, Bree.

Merry Christmas!

It's so good to see you guys.

My vacation doesn't officially start until next week,

but Mom and Dad had to go check on Granny in Vermont

so I'll be house sitting for the next few days

and thought I'd leave early in hopes

that I can convince Colleen to do some Christmas shopping.

Well, I would love to go shopping with you,

but your sister's supposed to bring Kurt over

to play video games with Tommy.

In fact, I thought it was her at the door just now.

Oh, well, I haven't told anybody that I was coming early,

so it would be great to see everyone.

You haven't told anybody?

Uh uh.

Not even Colton?

No.

Come on, Colleen!

I wanted to get here early

so that I could get my Christmas shopping done

before Xander Point gets crazy.

You know how it is. - Uh huh.

I mean, now we can just invite Wanda in.

She can come with us.

What do you think, babe?

Huh?

Look, I know I said I would bake the cookies.

Babe, listen.

I'm used to you going and getting called out

on emergency therapy sessions,

so let's just call this an emergency shopping session.

That'll gimme some time to hang out

with Kurt and Tommy for awhile.

I love you, babe.

I love you too.

That must be Wanda.

Wanda!

Bree?

James?

How's my favorite brother-in-law?

You mean your only brother-in-law?

Yeah, it looks like I got two surprises today.

First Bree, and now you.

I was expecting Wanda to bring Kurt by.

Here you are.

Does Colton know you're in town yet?

I just got here a few minutes ago

and I stopped by to see if Colleen wanted

to do some Christmas shopping [tongue clicks].

Yes, please come in.

Ian, James is here.

Good morning, Pastor Sullivan.

Oh, Mayor James.

Pastor?

Why so formal?

Mayor James,

I was just looking over the weather reports.

Merry Christmas.

Yeah, Merry, Merry, um, Merry-

I know this tone.

♪ Business ♪

You want a cup of coffee?

This the first pot. - No, I, No.

Hey, Kurt, I've got everything...

Mr. James, where's Kurt?

I'm sorry, Tommy.

Kurt won't be coming today.

He's not feeling well.

- Oh, no. - Oh.

Hey, is everything okay?

Oh, he'll be fine.

We think he caught one

of those 24 hour viruses or something.

That's too bad.

I'll go give him a call.

Kurt's not gonna be taking any phone calls

or being on social media at this time.

You know, kids today,

they spend way too much time on social media.

And as a matter of fact, once he's feelin' better,

Kurt will be doing more outside activities

and spending less time on his phone.

Oh.

Right, oh.

Have a seat.

Thank you, but I can't stay long.

I understand.

It was so good to see you, James,

but Bree and I have a lot of holiday shopping to do,

so I'll talk to you later, babe?

Mm hm, okay, baby.

Hey, I'll call Wanda tonight whenever I get home.

- I'll see you soon, yeah. - Okay.

Okay, I'll see you soon.

Bye, guys.

Ah, all right.

Son, Mr. James and I, we need to talk.

So, if you don't mind, go to your room for a minute

and when we're done, a real pro gamer will teach you

how to play video games.

All right [laughs]!

All right [chuckles].

Do we know any?

What's on your mind?

I just wanted to come by and let you know

that Town Council has approved the project

to revitalize Xander Point.

Okay.

We're already a top Christmas destination

and with the tree lighting tomorrow

in town square, hm, who knows?

Maybe next, we're the next top travel destination.

Yeah, that's the 22nd.

Yeah, to kick off the last couple

of days of Christmas shopping.

Okay.

Listen, Sully, I gotta be honest with you.

We didn't get the restoration grant, did we?

No, we didn't.

And the Town Council has decided to move forward

with revitalizing Xander Point,

and unfortunately they don't share your vision.

Well, what happened to preserving

this beautiful lighthouse, hm?

The council's decided

that the lighthouse must be torn down.

I mean, we've looked at every option available to keep it,

but financially we feel like

the money could be put to better use-

Better use?

Better use.

What this town needs, Sully,

is we need more events

and more businesses and more activities

to bring in revenue for the town.

I mean, Sully, can't you see it?

18 hole golf course.

A couple of beautiful resort hotels

that match the scenic beauty of the ocean,

perfectly.

Hm, I agree, I agree that Xander Point

needs to attract jobs and tourism.

But at what cost?

Destroying the lighthouse?

No offense, Pastor.

This is not based on you personally.

I'm not too sure about that.

The lighthouse has become an eyesore.

It's an icon, not an eyesore.

It's very much an eyesore.

It's unproductive, it's obsolete,

and frankly, it doesn't meet with our current vision

or plan for this town.

That lighthouse means more to the people

of this town than you realize.

The light in the lighthouse doesn't work, Sully.

It hasn't worked in years.

It's not true, James.

It's not true.

You of all people should know [sighs].

You just wanna remove the lighthouse so you can build

your golf course and your high rise hotels,

but it's not right. - When-

It isn't right!

When was the last time that

that lighthouse ever helped anyone?

Listen, whether you sign these documents or not,

the demolition of the lighthouse is moving forward

in the first of the year.

Will you sign the documents?

No [sighs].

Like I said, it's nothing personal,

but we all have someone to answer to, Sully.

Hey, what's the rush?

What's the rush is getting that lighthouse.

Where are we with getting that lighthouse, James?

Oh my God.

He didn't sign the contract, did he?

Not this time, but he'll sign.

He'll sign.

Do you understand how tight my schedule is, okay?

I'll make the deadline.

No, no, no, I know you're gonna make the deadline.

Look, I'll make the deadline.

Don't interrupt me when I'm talking to you.

I don't get to buy my girlfriend a brand new Cartier watch

every single Christmas

because I waste time because time is money, okay?

Do you have that contract on you?

Yeah, we're not gonna be needing that.

I want you to give this to Sam and Colton, okay?

I can promise you that neither

of them are gonna notice the difference.

Can you get this signed?

I got this.

You can get this done?

- Yeah. - Yeah?

- I'll get it done. - You're gonna get it done?

- I'll get it done. - You mean it?

We'll get it done.

You mean that?

We'll get it done.

That's good, I believe you.

We good, we good? - We're good.

Yeah, we're good.

[sighs] I love this time of year.

Thank you for pulling away from your family today.

Yes.

Did I surprise you?

You sure did.

But James was even more surprised.

We both were.

You know, I have to admit,

I was a little disappointed

when Wanda and Kurt didn't show up today.

I'm starting to miss my friends and family.

Yeah.

The hospital isn't the same since you left.

I sure miss our talks,

but I'm glad we got a chance to spend this time together.

Hey, you and me both.

You do know that I hope that you and Ian

are able to get the restoration grant, don't you?

I sure do.

I just don't understand

why Colton is pushing so hard to get

a resort built there when he knows

how much you guys mean to me.

Oh, thanks, Bree.

But you know who he works for, your brother-in-law.

The Mayor.

And don't get me wrong,

I know that they have a chance to make a lot

of money on this deal.

Please, Colton makes more than enough money as it is.

It seems that that's all he thinks about.

It's one of the reasons I agreed

to the temporary transfer to University Medical.

I needed to take the time

to figure out who I am and what I want.

Well, everything's starting to make a lot of sense

because I noticed you forgot to wear your engagement ring.

Oh, I just forgot it.

I mean, I love Colton.

I do.

He came into my life at a time when I was ready

for a strong relationship.

After Jacob?

After Jacob died.

I love Colton.

I just miss Jacob, a lot.

That's natural.

I was just thinking about that last date that we had.

Do you remember?

I do, I remember.

Oh, girl, you were so all over the place.

You couldn't figure out whether

to paint your dress or wear your nails.

Please, I was not that bad, was I?

Oh, no, you weren't that bad.

Oh, please, you were worse.

No.

Colleen!

Oh.

I have nothing to wear.

- Mm hm. - Get in here!

Colleen, come on.

I told you, this is an emergency.

We've gotta go, we've gotta go.

Nothing, nothing to wear.

I'm supposed to meet Jacob in two hours.

But...

- What? - What is-

- What? - What is goin' on

with your face?

Oh, no [gasping].

Now my face is gonna be all red.

The night that Jacob proposes,

my hair's a wreck.

I have nothing to wear and now my face

is gonna be all red and not blush red, but fire engine red!

Oh.

You're going to look fine, Bree.

Fine is for family.

Cute is for conversant and phenomenal is for fiance.

Okay?

And don't even start with just be patient

'cause the right man will come along.

If that's the rate we're going,

someone's gonna have to pick up the pace.

Where's he taking you?

Chateau on the Wharf.

Oh.

Oh, well, okay.

Calm down, okay?

Let's take a deep breath [inhales].

Come on.

And let's get you ready

for a wonderful night on the wharf.

You think so?

Yes.

- Really? - Yes.

Are you sure?

Girl, you cute.

Come on.

Oh yes, work it.

Yes, do it.

Yes. - Work it?

Better.

All that.

Well, I will say this, Ms. Broughton.

What might that be, Mr. Jacob Edwards?

Every thought I've had about becoming

a Marine Corps officer had you in mind.

Agreed.

You know, a lot's gonna change.

Agreed.

You'll be in med school.

And you'll be serving your country

for your four year commitment.

And when I find out where I'm stationed,

you better come visit me.

You know, I will but Jacob, when you think about it,

four years is a long time.

I mean, you must promise me that you'll stay safe.

Well, the same goes for you.

I've heard that finishing med school

can be hazardous for your health.

Four more and more years of school

is something I'm pretty sure I can survive.

If you weren't related to James,

I'm sure he could just offer you some accountant job.

I know I would.

James has already expressed that [laughs],

but he knows and you know,

and I know that my heart is in medicine

and healing people and fixing things and trying

to make the world a little bit better than we found it.

So you better not forget about me.

I don't know.

I've heard that those med students can be very handsome

and charming and so very tempting.

Well, then I guess I better figure out

a way to keep your attention.

And how might you do that, Mr. Edwards?

Starting a little friendly fire.

You know, I was sure that Jacob

and I would end up together forever.

Yes, I know.

I've tried to move on and see the other side of life,

but the feeling of loss and abandonment is so real.

But being here and seeing my fiance

and my brother-in-law use their power

and influence in such an unprofessional manner,

I'm just not sure about anything anymore.

Listen, what have I always told you?

That no matter what happens, we'll get through it.

Together. - Together, right?

Yeah.

What happened?

I, um...

What?

I thought I saw...

Saw what, Bree?

It couldn't have been.

Let's get our things together and go shopping.

What do you think about that?

I'm all for that.

Let's go. - Okay.

Whoa!

Check him out, Kurt.

Check who out?

A real pirate.

Nice try.

It's the best one yet,

but I'm still going to beat you.

I know you're going to win.

You beat everybody playing video games,

but I'm telling you the truth.

There's a real life pirate over there.

Yeah, I win.

Okay, you win, you win.

So check it out.

Whoa.

Told ya.

Are you a pirate?

No, I'm not a pirate.

Are you sure?

'Cause you look like one of the pirates

in the video game we've been playing.

What game is that?

"Commodore's versus Pirates."

Oh, yeah?

Let me see.

This one.

It's a bad guy.

Yeah, he's a pirate.

Okay, looks a little bit like me,

but I'm one of the good guys.

But you have a patch?

Yeah, I do.

I'm taking down the bad guys.

Cool.

It's starting to get dark.

We should probably head home.

Come on, Tommy, one more game.

I'm not ready to go home just yet.

Not this time, Kurt.

We gotta go.

All right.

I can't wait to tell Mom and Dad

about the pirate we met today.

Oh. Oh, oh my God!

Are you finally putting name tags on the gift?

Maybe?

What do you mean maybe?

You know the rules.

What?

Just because I know the rules

doesn't mean I have to like 'em.

And there wouldn't be any rules if somebody,

I'm not naming any names, Ian,

wouldn't poke and shake the gifts all the time.

I just...

Just one.

That's why I have to wrap them first

and then put the names on it closer to Christmas

because you go around shaking

and trying to guess what's inside.

But I'm good at that.

You're very good at it.

And that's the problem.

Okay. You win,

You win.

I see what you been doin'.

All right, that's better.

You know, I've been thinkin'.

Uh oh.

What do you mean, "Uh, oh?"

You've got that look in your eyes again.

Oh, what look in my eyes?

That playing matchmaker look in your eyes.

Who's fit to be tied this time?

Look, I'm not trying to play matchmaker.

I just wanna have a couple people over-

Mm hm.

To play matchmaker. - No.

What do you think about having a few family

and friends over for lunch and Tour de Sullivan

the day after the Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony?

Okay, Okay.

I'll play along.

But babe, listen, serious.

What?

This is gonna require a lot of extra cooking on your part.

Look, not if we divvy the cooking up

between all of those who are invited.

I have some special people

that I wanna invite over for the holidays,

and with all the lighthouse stuff going on,

I wanna have my friends and family close.

Okay, okay.

And and if we start now, you know what?

I'm sure that everyone would try to come.

Yes.

Wait, is that a gift with my name on it?

- Ian! - I just, I just,

I just think it's...

Ian!

I think it's a gift.

You're horrible.

Goodbye.

- Colton. - Hey, sweetie.

From your text, I thought you said

you were gonna be working late.

I am working late tonight.

However, I had to stop by and see my fiance

before going back into the office.

It's been way too long since I've seen you.

It has.

And it smells like you've been working

at a tavern rather than an office.

Well, you know, office, tavern, golf course.

It's all for the same celebration.

Hm, looks like you've been celebrating a lot.

Yes, I have.

Sorry.

Ian just texted inviting us

to the Tour de Sullivan

at the Xander Point Lighthouse on the 23rd.

A tour?

Even better.

Wait, hold on.

Ian invited you, not me.

He invited us.

You know, their door's always open for you,

even when you're trying to tear it down.

Literally.

What time does this tour start?

12.

Perfect.

My favorite hour. - P.m.

Not so much.

Wait, you don't actually expect us to go do you?

Well, yeah, they're your friends.

Plus it'll give me a chance

to get reacquainted with them before the wedding.

You can't be serious.

You said their door is always open,

so let's just walk right on through.

But for now, my love, I have to get back

to the Mayor's office before going home

and doing this all over again.

Hey, I'll pick you up at 1130 for the tour thingy.

Okay.

So Sam, how are the numbers?

I swear, Colton, you are worse

than my brother's kids on Christmas Eve.

"Is it time yet, Daddy.

Is it time?

How about now, Daddy?

Is it time?"

Hey, Sam, guess what.

What?

- Is it time? - Stop.

- Is it time? - Stop it.

Can it please be time?

I tell you what, Sam,

all the hard work that we put in this year

is going to pay off Big time, big time.

Well, it looks as though,

don't hold me to it, mind you.

But it looks as though

we are gonna hit our fiscal goals

for the second year in a row.

Merry Christmas and a happy new Year to all of us.

To you, and to me.

Mm, too fast.

Oh, come on, Sam.

We just closed the best contract of our careers

and you are over here lookin' like,

"Well, somebody took the snow out of old frosty snow globe."

Am I?

Yes, yes!

Come on, Sam.

What are you thinkin'?

I'm thinking the cost

of closing this deal might be too high.

No, you said-

I know what I said.

Everything adds up, but at what cost?

Do you know who's responsible for kicking Ian

and Colleen out of the lighthouse?

You and I are.

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

We are the middleman, okay?

Once Ian signs the contract-

If Ian signs the paperwork, then I might be okay with it.

But God, pulling the eminent domain card

on our friends, it's not cool.

That's a line I don't wanna cross.

Tell me this.

How does a project manager, mm,

have second thoughts about his own project?

This is the best contract

to come across my desk in years, Sam, years.

I tell you what, what would you do if you were mayor?

Mm hm, mm.

You wanna know what I would do if I were mayor?

If it is how to tear down that lighthouse

and bring that thing to rubble,

I want to know every spell, hallucination, incantation,

or whatever it takes to bring it down.

But if we're keepin' it, I don't wanna hear it.

Hundreds of people visit the lighthouse every year, Colton.

Colton?

Whatever you say, Slammy the man.

I'm here for it.

In the meantime, you just wake me when we're good to go.

You know what, we'll talk about it on the way home.

I don't need a ride.

I drove here.

You've been drinking all day.

I don't think so.

I think you've been drinking all day.

Where are we goin'?

Come on.

Well, where are we goin'?

We're going home.

Hey, not everyone can liquor their hold.

Why don't you tell me all about it?

Why, thank you, Mr. Mayor.

Come on.

We've got no time, Sergeant!

No time, no time!

Sergeant Edwards, we're almost outta fuel!

You've got all the men,

now I need you to get back on board for extract!

Gunny, let's go!

Hey, Colleen.

Yeah, it's Jacob.

Hey, Colleen.

Oh, shh.

How you doin'?

Hey, look, I was beginning

to wonder if you were gonna show up.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

So, you asked to see me?

Yeah, I did.

I had another night terror.

Oh, how did it make you feel?

Oh, how did it make me feel?

Like chestnuts roasting on an open fire.

I mean, come on.

Got a little too much Merry in that Christmas?

You know, I'm training the best negotiation tactics

and you hit me with the,

"How does that make you feel?"

Okay, you're right.

Straight from the rookie Q&A notes.

Okay, you're right.

Now- - What?

Was it the same dream?

No, it was different.

Different in what way?

The shadows, the silhouettes.

Okay.

Those are gone.

So, you're starting to remember?

Yeah.

And I'm starting to hear things now.

I can hear the pilot in my earpiece.

Hm.

I mean, it's not clear, but it's audible, you know?

Yeah.

And I used to be upset about dreaming

and not understanding the dream.

And now I'm upset for understanding the dream.

Yeah.

You gotta admit,

I got a pretty twisted set of antlers off here, Doc.

Don't you think?

I didn't say that.

I know.

You actually haven't said a word this whole time,

and you are usually the one talking 90 miles an hour.

Yeah, look, look, this is my car.

Let's get in and take a drive if you'd like.

Can we walk?

I don't know, I'm still figuring it out.

I can hear things.

I can't see anything.

I don't know.

Okay, so onto the next subject.

Have you talked to Bree?

Colleen!

I can't, Colleen.

She needs to know that you're alive.

I can't.

Listen, if she doesn't find out from you,

it will be a show.

Well, you're not gonna tell her, are you?

Well, no, I can't.

But she needs to see you.

It's important that she sees you.

Yeah, well, I see that this is my exit

so thank you for all your mental magic, Doc.

Jacob?

Call me anytime, Jacob.

Any adventures at sea today?

Every day.

- See any pirates? - I got two today.

You don't believe me?

You're questioning my honor?

Well, I've got proof.

And I was gonna give you these,

but since you're questioning my honor-

I don't doubt you.

Yeah, I believe you.

On guard, land lovers.

On guard, pirate!

Ha!

Pirate has breached the bow.

You go port side and we'll flake him.

Ha!

Uh oh, I'm bein' flanked.

Oh no!

I can't hold it much longer.

We got you, pirate.

Aye, but we'll meet again, mateys.

Not if we can help it.

Hey, at least now there's two more good guys with patches.

On guard, pirate.

Well, look what we have here.

What do you guys want?

Only on that video game.

And don't you forget it either, Richard.

One day I'll become a professional gamer.

Come on, Kurt, we're going home better.

Better enjoy it while you can.

What are you talkin' about now, Richard?

I have a home.

Not gonna have a home for long.

Let's go, Kurt.

Don't pay them any attention.

You don't know do ya?

Kurt's dad's tearin' down the lighthouses

and puttin' hotels all over there.

That's a lie.

Afraid it's not.

Whatever.

Let's go Kurt.

- Hey, Colleen [laughs]. - Hey!

Bree, look at you.

Girl, you look fabulous. - Oh, thank you.

Wanda and James are having an after party tonight

that Colton and I will be attending, so yeah.

Are you okay?

You seem a little preoccupied.

Yeah, well, Ian was supposed to be here by now.

Ian is planning to attend tonight's ceremony?

Yeah, he was.

And it's not like him to be late.

I'm surprised he's attending at all.

Well, well, he told James

he would be here and you know Ian.

Yes, I do [chuckles].

I tried calling him a couple times

and his phone keeps going straight to voicemail.

You know, that's interesting

because I tried calling Wanda a little while ago

and her phone said her voicemail was full too,

and she said she'd be here.

Well, your sister has stood beside James at every event

that Xander Point has ever celebrated,

so I'm sure she'll be here in a bit.

And I'll try calling Ian again in a few minutes.

Hey, Ian said he'd be here, he'll be here.

Okay.

There he is.

Who?

Bree?

Bree?

Colleen, you wouldn't believe me if I told you

because I don't even believe it myself.

- Hey, babe. - Hey.

I'm so glad you guys could join us.

I was starting to worry about you two.

Listen, so was I, trust me [chuckles].

Hey. - Hey, Ian.

Hey, Tommy. - Hi, Miss Bree.

Look, it was such a time securing this area,

but don't worry, Bree and I, we held it down.

Hey, you bet we did.

- Oh, hey, there's Wanda. - Where?

Over there by the stairs.

Oh, that's my cue.

See you guys tomorrow?

- All right. - Bye.

Thanks for coming.

It looks like all local coverage.

It's supposed to be national coverage, Sam.

Where are they?

Good to see you.

We emailed every news outlet

and blasted it all over social media.

Mr. Mayor, everyone has been notified.

They're supposed to be beating down my door.

Beating down my door.

Yes, Sir.

Hey sis, don't you look amazing.

Thank you.

Ugh, I've been trying to reach you all day,

but I'm sure you've had your hands full with James and Kurt.

Oh, you have no idea.

Appreciate it.

Thank you.

Appreciate you [indistinct].

- Oh. - Hello.

I haven't seen you all night.

I know.

In fact, I can't see you right now.

Okay.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

- Dad, Dad, is Tom- - Not now, Kurt.

- Does Tommy have to move? - Not now, Kurt.

Go stand with your mom - Ladies and gentlemen,

- and Aunt Bree. - Let's give a warm welcome

to your Mayor, James McClure.

Good evening, Xander Point and Merry Christmas.

On behalf of myself and the town, welcome to Xander Point,

America's best kept secret.

Well, Mayor James, it won't be a secret after tonight.

Which is why "Journal and Journey Magazine"

has awarded Xander Point this year's Christmas Destination.

Thank you "Journey and Journal Magazine"

for this wonderful award.

But it wouldn't have been possible without you,

the amazing people of Xander Point.

It's because of you we were even nominated.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

We have so many exciting things planned for Xander Point.

But first, I have a question.

How many of you still have shopping to do?

Well, you've come to the right place.

Xander Point is the place to be this Christmas.

Not only can you finish your shopping here,

you can dine in one of our excellent restaurants

or stay in one of our beautiful hotels.

And one of the exciting things we have planned

is the redevelopment of the Xander Point Lighthouse

with a five star resort hotel

and a professional golf course.

Thank you, "Journey and Journal Magazine"

for this prestigious award.

Well, thank you for your hospitality.

Now, let's get this Christmas party started.

Everyone count down with me.

10, nine.

Eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one.

Have a safe and Merry Christmas.

Thank you.

Hey.

It's hot, careful.

This is just the beginning, you know?

The beginning of what?

Of many happy, successful, wonderful nights together.

Yeah? You think so?

Definitely.

Did you see the town tonight?

Beautiful, right?

- Yeah, yeah it was beautiful. - Right?

- But not as beautiful as you. - Oh [laughs]!

No, and even in that dress tonight,

I'm glad that I got that for you last Christmas.

I do have some great taste if I do say so myself.

Mr. Fashion Designer, goodness.

Oh my great skills.

But seriously, I was thinkin',

I have successfully negotiated countless deals

with multiple people over the last few months,

and yet one person has seemed to elude me.

Hm, who's that?

You.

Well, you, my love.

The one person I most want to work with,

to be with has yet to decide when are we getting married?

We've both been so busy this year, Colton.

I mean, especially this Christmas.

We will always be busy.

It's what we do.

But Bree, we have to make every moment count.

Have you even thought of a date?

No, not yet.

I mean...

Well, I'll tell you what.

I do have some ideas if you'd like to go inside and discuss.

Mm.

Not tonight.

You have to pick me up early tomorrow, remember?

Oh yeah, the chore thingy at the Sullivans.

Yeah, yeah, that one.

Oh, that doesn't start until 12.

Exactly.

Goodnight, Colton.

Hey, Tommy?

Hey, babe.

Is there anything I can do?

Yes, that's my phone.

Can you go see who that is?

- Yeah, sure. - Thanks.

Tommy?

Yes, Mom?

Hey, did you straighten your room like I asked you to?

Yes, Ma'am.

Hey baby, this is your office.

Okay, now Tommy, now I'm gonna go check, so are you sure?

Yes, Ma'am.

Okay, go on.

I wonder what my office is calling me.

They know I'm gonna have company in a couple of hours.

Hello, this is Dr. Sullivan.

Yes.

Yes, he is.

No, I'll take it from here.

Thank you.

No, no, no, no, I'll take care of it.

Thanks.

Ha!

He's comin' to my Christmas party.

- What is goin' on? - Oh my goodness.

I gotta go see one of my patients.

Now you asked if there's something you can do and there is,

can you watch my kitchen until I get back?

Yeah, when will that be?

Oh, thanks, babe.

And don't steal anything, okay?

Yeah.

Don't touch my cookies.

Okay?

Bye.

"Don't touch my cookies [laughs]."

Jacob?

Colleen.

Hey.

So, I heard about that little stunt you pulled today.

What's stunt?

The one with the delivery driver.

That wasn't a stunt.

I was bein' helpful.

I was escorting that man in his boxes back

to the cargo of his truck, that's all.

You close the cargo door and pad locked it.

Yeah, well, he's lucky

'cause I thought about welding it shut.

Well, thank goodness he had his cellphone.

Otherwise he could have been locked in there for hours.

He was in there for hours.

What'd you see in your dream, Jacob?

Faces.

Now all I see is faces.

Did you recognize the faces?

Yeah.

Are they the faces of the guys on your team?

Brothers.

So, other than locking people in cargo trucks,

how are you dealing with all these emotions?

I like to go out on the boat.

Mm hm.

I read,

I walk a lot. - Mm hm.

Well, good.

We're having Tour de Sullivan at our house today at noon

and I expect that you'll be there.

- Colleen, no. - I expect to see you there.

I'm not comin'.

- Oh, yes. - I'm not comin'.

Listen, I don't wanna hear it.

You need to get out and you need to mingle with people

and this is where you're gonna start doing it,

so I'll see you today at noon.

Colleen.

Bring me flowers.

Goodbye.

Yes, Ma'am.

I don't believe it.

I don't believe it either.

You knew about this?

I just got here.

How would I know the decanters are empty?

I'm talking about James getting Ian to sign the contract.

Oh, shoot!

Got their signatures right here.

I thought you'd be more ecstatic.

No, it's not that.

Trust me, I'm not upset about that.

I just remembered I'm supposed

to pick up Bree half an hour ago.

What's the price tag on that delay?

Don't start with me, Sam.

It's much too early.

Oh, she's gonna kill me.

You know, you and I had a pretty open

and honest conversation about your mom the other night.

We talked about my mom?

Yeah, we did.

Did I say anything crazy?

Every day.

Well, we got a signature.

I guess even Ian has to price,

so we can move forward with the lighthouse demolition.

It appears so.

For now though, I gotta go.

I'll see you, Mayor.

See ya, Colton.

What's that?

The contract for the demolition

of the Xander Point Lighthouse that you left on my desk.

Right, right.

Looks like the only thing left

is to schedule the removal of the lighthouse.

I'll take care of that.

I'll take...

We're outta coffee.

I can see that, Sam!

I thought you said this was gonna be fun.

I thought you said you were gonna pick me up this morning.

Bree, I already apologized.

Plus, you know I'm not a morning person.

Colton, you have an ink smudge on your hand

from being in the office.

Do I really?

So you were in the office?

Okay, I went in on autopilot, all right?

And once I figured out what was going on,

honest, I came here straight away.

I promise.

Okay, Colton.

Come on now.

All right, yeah, before we miss the party.

Hey.

Hi, Bree.

You're here.

Merry Christmas.

Yeah, Ian texted me and invited us.

Oh, Merry Christmas, Colton.

Merry Christmas.

Ian invited you?

Yes [chuckles].

Colton and Bree,

glad y'all could make it out.

Hey, Merry Christmas.

Thanks for the invite.

And hey, no hard feelings, huh?

No hard feelings.

And no more talking about that.

No, no more.

No more talking about it.

I'm gonna lose my license.

Oh!

Hey, what's goin' on in here?

Not a whole lot at the moment.

- Hm. - Mm.

I know what we need to do.

What's that?

Stir the pot.

Let's do it.

Hey, everybody, everybody up.

Come on.

Everybody up.

Gather 'round, gather 'round [laughs].

All right, everybody.

So, who's ready to eat?

I am.

No, no, no, ain't nobody hungry.

Listen, who is ready to eat?

We are!

Ah, that's a little bit better.

First of all, we just want

to thank everybody for comin', right?

We wanna thank everyone for showin' up, family, friends,

we love you all.

But before we bless this food,

look, we gotta get a post check up in here.

And y'all all on your phone.

It's just dead.

We gotta we gotta get a uprising, okay?

So whenever I say, and the family said,

y'all say thank you.

And the family said...

Thank you!

And the family said?

Thank you!

All right, so look, we gonna stir the pot

a little bit, okay?

We gonna get down low.

We gonna start it right down here.

We are gonna thank the Lord for all

of His grace and His mercy.

And it's because of Him, we have an abundance of food.

And the family said...

Thank you.

And the family said?

Thank you!

And everybody who wanted to be here

and who couldn't be here,

and for those that are here,

we wanna go on and say the family said?

Thank you!

And then they all said amen.

Amen.

Amen!

Colton.

I have to go. - What do you mean?

Will you tell Colleen thank you for us?

Wait, wait, wait.

Are you gonna leave me here?

Just tell Colleen, Colton.

Okay, yeah, sure, that works.

"Hey, Colleen, Bree's gone.

Oh, don't worry, I'm still here.

The guy tearing down your house."

Jeez.

Jacob?

Bree.

I thought I saw you at Colleen's.

I...

Where have you been?

Yeah, that's a long story.

Yeah, well, I'd really like to hear it, Jacob.

When did you get back?

A few months ago.

I can't believe you're here.

I thought you were...

Yeah, a lot of people thought that.

But you know, look at you.

I mean, you haven't changed a bit.

Should I say Dr. Bratton?

- Yeah, huh? - Yeah?

It's Nurse Bratton now, actually.

Oh.

I decided I wanted to have

a more personal relationship with my patients.

So- - Yeah.

- I went to nursing school. - Okay.

You haven't changed a bit either.

I mean, still dodging all the questions I asked.

I don't know what you're talkin' about.

- Yeah. - How's James and Wanda?

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.

Yeah, okay, you got me, you got me.

So, what are you doin' here?

What are you doing here, Jacob?

Okay, you got me again.

I don't know, just all my best memories

are here at the lighthouse.

My all time favorite memory.

Yeah, well, continue.

Okay, well,

I first saw you down there

at the beach and you were with your family.

Wanda ran off with her friends and you were mad

because you wanted her to build sandcastles with you.

There goes your big sister.

And I finally wasn't mad at my parents anymore

because the anger of a fifth grader

was nothing more serious, let me tell ya.

And I was mad that they packed us up

and moved us here to Xander Point.

But then I was happy.

Why is that?

I saw a beautiful girl by the lighthouse

that I hoped one day I would have the courage to ask out.

And you did.

Yes, I did.

Yeah, I can laugh about it now.

Yeah, I bet you can.

Man, it feels like a lifetime ago.

Yeah, it does.

At the same time, it kind of feels like life's trying

to catch back up. - Catch back up.

Yeah, it does.

Wow.

I don't know.

How long are you staying in Xander?

I haven't really had a reason to leave Xander Point.

- Does it hurt? - What?

- Your eye? - Oh, no.

I'm sorry, I just...

May I?

Mm hm.

Bree, what is that?

Are you engaged or something?

I, I am.

This whole time you've never said a word about that.

Why won't you tell me where you've been all this time?

It's not that I don't want to, it's that I can't.

But you having a fiance

is something I could have talked about.

Jeez!

You know, I wouldn't have kissed you

if I would've known you were engaged.

Did you even try to look for me?

Look, Bree, just-

Did you even try to find me, Jacob?

All this time?

When you arrived in Xander Point, did you even look for me?

I wanted to, but I mean, look at me, Bree.

I see you, Jacob.

I see you in every coffee shop, in every store.

I live on a boat by Howard's Bridge.

It's not exactly the kind of home I wanna bring you to.

Yeah, well, you'd be surprised

how some of the most established estates

wouldn't qualify as being a home.

I guess I do have a reason to leave.

You just got back.

I know,

but you never left.

Bree, where have you been?

I've been calling you all day long, I...

Hey, I've been driving all over town.

What is going on?

I'm sorry.

I had to get away for a little bit.

I'm sorry.

I just needed to clear my head.

Well, I get that.

I understand.

We've been dating for two years now.

I know you a little bit.

I mean, and Bree, the lighthouse today honestly

went better than I expected.

I mean, I understand why people

are drawn to Ian and Colleen.

They're just- - Colton,

I don't really know how to say this or do this,

but I need to return this.

What?

Bree, what?

Listen, if this is about the lighthouse, then I-

It's not about the lighthouse.

It's about you and me

and something that's lacking in this relationship.

What, what?

Where is this coming from, Bree?

I don't see any of this.

I'm sorry, I just, I can't.

Is this really how you feel?

I'll never be him, will I?

Hey, Tommy, hope you got all your bags packed

and ready to move out tomorrow.

Tomorrow's Christmas, Richard.

And I'm not moving anywhere,

but you can come over and find out.

I'm won't have to.

I'll read all about it in the paper tomorrow.

Read, that's a good one.

You wanted to play catch, let's play.

Wait.

Hey!

No wonder you're playing in the outfield

instead of on the pitchers round.

I've got a question.

Ask away.

It's not for you, Richard.

Why do you hang around with these guys?

Because I-

'Cause she'd rather rather hang out

with us than play video games with you guys all day.

You can hang out with us anytime, Olivia.

Why, so you can play virtual games all day long?

Maybe professional gamer

can build Tommy a virtual home.

That's enough, Richard.

It's time for you guys to go home now.

Tommy, Kurtis's untying his dad's boat.

What?

Stay there.

Kurt, don't listen to these guys.

Yeah, Kurt, we were just messin' around.

Don't do it, Kurt, I'm sorry.

Seriously, Kurt, that's a two man boat.

You need help with that.

Leave me alone.

Let's play another game, Kurt.

It's too late.

Not with me, Kurt.

You wanted me to leave, I will.

No.

No, Kurt, Kurt!

Kurt!

- Kurt, come back! - Come back!

You're in trouble now, Richard.

Did you honestly call off

your engagement to Colton?

Last night after speaking to Jacob.

Jacob?

Bree, you're not making any sense.

Jacob is supposed to be dead.

I know, but he's not Wanda.

He's lost an eye.

He's suffering from severe PTSD

and now he's back in Xander Point.

And Colleen knew about it the entire time.

Wow.

This is a lot.

But I'm sure Colleen had a very good reason

for not telling you about Jacob.

I mean, I know why she couldn't tell me,

but it's still hard to process.

I mean, you should have seen me when I recognized him.

His appearances have changed, but not who he is.

I found him where we used to meet at the old lighthouse.

And for me, it was like no time had passed.

Like, we picked up right where we left off.

I wanna hear all about this.

I'll be right back.

- Miss Wanda! - Olivia?

Miss Wanda, Kurtis took Mr. James' boat.

Kurt wouldn't take James's boat.

But he did.

Why would Kurt take his dad's boat?

'Cause of Richard.

Who's Richard?

Richard is this kid that Kurt's

been having trouble with at school.

Hello, James?

Yes, we have an emergency.

Merry Christmas, everyone.

I'm Allison Reynolds.

As we prepare for some unreasonable winter weather,

an Amber Alert has been issued

for Xander Point in the surrounding areas

to be on the lookout for 10-year-old Kurt McClure,

the son of Mayor James and Wanda McClure.

Kurt McClure was last seen taking

his father's Mayor James McClure's boat through the canal

and out to sea earlier this afternoon

after being a possible victim

of bullying by some of his peers.

If you have any information regarding the whereabouts

of Kurt McClure or of any incidents leading up

to his disappearance, please contact the sheriff's office.

I'm Allison Reynolds for WXPN News.

Welcome to Xander Point News.

On the heels of winning an award

as one of the Top Christmas Destinations,

an Amber Alert - Hey, Colleen!

Is still in effect

for Xander Point's - Colleen!

Own Kurt McClure.

Kurt took his father's boat - Yeah?

To escape being bullied by his peers.

If you have any information regarding the whereabouts

of Kurt McClure or of any incidents leading

up to his disappearance, - Where's Tommy?

- Please contact - Where's Tommy?

- Sheriff's office. - With Kurt.

Hey, I'm goin' down there.

- For WXPN News. - Come on.

Don't leave!

Jacob!

Wait!

Thank you, Allison.

We're outside the Mayor's office right now

where we're hoping to hear from him any minute.

- Where's the Mayor? - Any statement for the press?

Where's the Mayor?

What's goin' on?

The Mayor is home with his wife where he should be.

Have you heard anything from Kurt?

- All we know is that Kurt - What's going on?

Was being bullied by some kids.

Why don't you go ask them?

Now, what about the sheriff's office?

Have they been in contact?

Please, everybody.

We're just trying to get home.

Have you from the school or-

Please, just tell us more.

We have not been contacted by the sheriff's office yet,

but we hope to be very soon.

- How soon? - When is soon?

Okay, that's all we have for now.

Thank you.

Has the mayor changed

his opinion on the lighthouse?

No comment.

- Please tell us. - No comment?

- Please tell us more. - Really?

There you go, Allison,

we're hoping to have a little press conference

a little bit later on this evening.

If we have any updates,

we'll get back to you as soon as possible.

Kelly Nash, Xander Point News.

My boy,

please find Kurt.

Please bring back my son.

It's impossible.

We're nowhere near the...

Hey, we...

We wanted to come see you.

Yeah, we came over as soon as we could.

Have you guys heard anything?

No.

For a Breef moment, I thought you guys

might have some more information.

Oh, I wish I did.

But Ian and I are with you guys all the way,

and we're here to help in any way we can.

Yeah, anything you need, just let us know.

There's something we wanna do to help.

Yes, we do.

What's that?

Well, if you and James approve,

we'd like to have a prayer vigil

for Kurt at the church just before sunrise.

Right.

Oh, but that would take away

from your Christmas morning.

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

Colleen and I couldn't think of a better time

for the vigil than Christmas.

I mean, that is if you guys would allow us

the privilege to do so.

We think that'd be wonderful.

Good morning, friends, family, and guest.

On this beautiful Christmas morning,

a friend, a son, and a neighbor is missing.

We know that Kurt McClure didn't take

his father's boat out of rebellion.

Kurt was being bullied

and he took the boat out of desperation and protection.

Kurt's not a thief.

He's an amazing kid that found himself in a situation

that we all have found ourselves in

at one point in our lives.

Some more than others.

You know who you are.

But I came here to tell you this morning

that you are not alone.

Kurt is out there this Christmas morning.

I'd like to ask you to join me in a moment

of silence and pray for Kurt.

And as you pray for Kurt, I'll pray for you.

Any of you who are feeling lost and alone,

bullied and isolated, so afraid because you believe

that there's no way out,

let me let you know that on this Christmas morning,

there is always hope.

Let us pray.

That was beautiful, Colleen.

Thank you.

Thank you, Bree.

That's the least I could do for your nephew.

You know, I was very upset with you

when I found out that you knew about Jacob this whole time.

Bree, let's talk about that later.

I just really wanna concentrate on finding Kurt right now.

Yeah, I'm sorry, I...

I don't know who this is

and they've been calling me all day.

Let me see.

Oh no, this is Jacob.

Answer it. - What?

Hello?

Hi, Jacob?

Yeah, yes.

He's found Kurt.

Okay.

Yeah, we'll be right there.

Thank you.

Jacob's found Kurt.

They're gonna be at the lighthouse in 20 minutes.

Let's go. - Okay, let's go.

Looks like Kurt found his way back home.

It's Kurt!

Kurt, we've been lookin' all over for you, Son.

I'm sorry I took your boat, Dad.

No, Kurt.

I'm the one who's sorry.

What happened? Are you okay?

Richard and his friends were messing with me

while me and Tommy were just playing video games,

so I stole the boat.

I tried and tried to get back,

but the engine ran out of gas.

If it weren't for the lighthouse

to guide me here and Jacob to bring me back,

I would've still been out there.

I'm so glad you're back.

Thank you, Jacob.

Thank you.

The lighthouse works, Dad.

It does!

It sure does.

I believe you, Kurt.

I believe you.

Oh, you can't be serious right now.

You believe what he believes. - What are you saying?

What did you say to me?

- I said- - What are you sayin'?

I can't understand you.

Say it one more time.

What are you doin'?

Yes, I believe the lighthouse works.

I saw the light.

You're done here, trader.

Hey, I am just getting warmed up, James.

So, does that mean the lighthouse stays?

If you think for one second,

'cause this little holiday optimism

that anything has changed, you are gravely mistaken.

Do you hear me?

Because that lighthouse is coming down.

You're finished.

Yes, the lighthouse stays.

Jacob?

Jacob?

Jacob?

What are you doing?

You don't actually expect me to believe

that you were lost out there do you?

You know, every inch this water.

He was scared, Bree.

He thought he saw the light from the lighthouse

and I guess he thought I saw it too,

and that's what was guiding us home.

I don't know.

Who was I to tell him any different?

What are you doin', Bree?

Trying to get your attention.

Shouldn't you be saving your attention for,

I don't know, your fiance?

Funny you say that, I don't have one.

What?

What?

Miss Proper?

How do you plan on getting my attention?
