- Doctor #1: Now, that's right.
- Right.

Doctor #1: Right there. Perfect.

Looking good.

Thanks, Dr. Williams.

Gotta celebrate whenever we can.

Quiet night when Emerson's
hanging Christmas decorations.

- Oh. What do we got?
- Multi-vehicle collision.

52-year-old male
found unconscious.

80 over power of GCS-12.
airway patent.

Got half a liter bolus en route.
Three more victims incoming.

All right, well, let's
get him to trauma room one.

Did his pressure respond?

- Up to 100.
- Watch it.

- Doctor #1: Heart rate?
- 120. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Dr. Williams, you take the lead.

Hey. Thanks.

Don't mention it.

Blood pressure rising.
How's his oxygen?

90% room air.

- How are his pupils?
- Reactive, but slow.

- We've got him stabilized.
- Let's get him straight to CT.

- Good night.
- Good job.

Yeah, you, too.

So much for a quiet night.

Good job.
You're done for your shift.

I've got to call
two consults back.

Sign out.
Go home and get some rest.

You're gonna need it.
See you tomorrow.

Fine. Good night.

Good night.

* Life ain't
ever what it seems *

* These dreams are
more than paper things *

* And it's all right, mama,
you're afraid *

* I'll be poor along the way *

* But I don't wanna
see those tears again *

* You know,
Santa drives an Astro van *

* Yes, he does *

* I say whoo... *

* In my heart
there's a hole that grows *

* From all the ones I miss
the most *

* Some of the best ones
ain't coming home *

* So if I love
under the mistletoe *

* Reaching out for
the great unknown *

* Every reindeer
has illusions *

* Life ain't

* And it's all right,
mama, you're afraid *

* I'll be there along the way *

* And I don't wanna

* You know,

Hannah, you poor thing.

You left at
the crack of dawn today.

Hi, Mrs. Martino.
I'm sorry if I woke you.

Oh, goodness, no.
I haven't slept past sunrise

since Frank Rizzo was mayor.

Busy day at the hospital?

Not so bad. It's just
hard to get out sometimes.

Have you eaten?

I think I had
a banana for breakfast.

I don't remember.

Here. I hope you like manicotti.

Oh, that's so sweet, but--

You don't like manicotti?

No, no. I like manicotti.

Oh, well,
wait till you have mine.

You'll need a whole new word

to describe how you
feel about manicotti.

All right. Thank you.
That's-- that's really kind.

Welcome to Philadelphia,

it's how we do.

Besides, I can't stand the idea

of you being alone
for the holidays.

Thank you, but I won't
be alone. I'll be working.

On Christmas?

The ER is open 24-7,
365 days a year.

It's in the job description.

Honey, I'm home.

Ow.

Hey, Dad.

Hey, is that my Hannah Banana?

Dr. Hannah Banana,
thank you very much.

Oh, my bad.

Did I catch you at a good time?

No, it's perfect.

Just got home from a shift

and about to dig into
some homemade manicotti.

You made manicotti?

Are you kidding?

I haven't even
unpacked my silverware yet,

and I've got, like,
one fork that I'm using.

No, my neighbor
gave it to me when I got home.

Ah, wow. That's Philly for you.

So, they got you working
around the clock?

That's how it was when
I first started working there.

No, I'm not working
any more than anyone else.

No?

Well, you sound a little tired.

Gee, thanks, Dad.

Look, just make sure
you get enough rest.

And if you have time,
see the city.

Oh, yeah? With who?

Well, you'll just have to find
some time to make some friends.

Imagine that, huh?

You know, come to think of it,
I am a bit tired.

Yeah, okay, okay. No pressure.

Just do me a favor, will ya?

Try to take
good care of yourself.

And that's not just
coming from me as your father,

that's from me
as a fellow doctor.

Yeah. Thanks, Dad.
Love you. Miss you.

Love you, too.
And enjoy the manicotti.

Oh, I will. Bye.

Bye-bye.

Morning, Scott. How come you're
working before school today?

Big game tonight.
If we win, we go to state.

If we lose...

And you still set the record

for single-season passing
yards at Father Judge.

- Right?
- Yeah, I guess that's true.

Ow!

Let's take a look at that.

Do you think I need stitches?

- Coach is gonna kill me if I--
- Take it easy.

You'll be fine.
Here. Come with me.

As good as new and
no stiches needed. Huh?

Hmm. Wow. Amazing.

Man, my dad loved
this place so much,

especially at Christmas.

We miss him, you know,
and his eggnog.

Yeah.

How's your mom?

You know,
me heading off to college,

just been the two of us
for the last five years,

I'm worried about her.

Yeah, I get it.

My dad passed when I was 13,

so I know what
you're going through.

Ever since then,
we promised each other

that we'd have a
merry Christmas, me and my mom.

How'd you do that?

Every year we have
a Home Alone marathon.

Oh.

Honestly, second one
was my favorite.

- That's a classic.
- Yeah, it is!

How'd you know about that movie?

How old do you think I am?

You know, Scott, I'm gonna
look after your mom, okay?

I promise you.

Thanks, Wes, for everything.

There she is.

Julia Sanchez
reporting for duty.

I'm not fired after yesterday?

It was your first day.
We had a lot going on.

From the moment we got to the
accident, I totally froze.

I was like a sidekick
with nothing to do.

Calm down, Sanchez.
Did anything terrible happen?

- It could have.
- But it didn't.

We stabilized him,
we got him to the hospital,

and the trauma team
took over from there.

I'm just glad
he wasn't in worse shape

when we arrived at the scene.

And what if he had been?
Then, what?

Then, we would
have dealt with that.

Listen, it is impossible

to know what we're gonna
encounter on a daily basis

on this job.

It's no use
in worrying about it.

Says the guy who handles
everything like a pro.

Yeah, well,
it wasn't my first day.

Don't be so hard
on yourself, okay?

Were you hard on yourself
after your first day?

Me? No. I mean,
I was absolutely amazing.

I totally crushed it
my first day.

I won't forget, okay? All right?

I promise,
if I can leave the station,

I will be there.

Remind me not to forget

my daughter's holiday
performance next week.

You just told Kate
you wouldn't forget.

I said the same thing
for the last three years

and missed every one
because of work.

But not this year.

My daughter has a solo.

Oh, roger that.

- Hey, Chief, you got a second?
- Yeah. What's up?

I was thinking maybe we could
get some of the off-duty guys

to help me decorate
Mack's house tonight

while Scott and
his mom at the big game.

What do you think?

I think it's a great idea.

You tell everyone it's an order.

I will. Thanks, Chief.

Thank you, Wes.

Who's Matt?

He's Scott's dad.

He was a firefighter
we lost a few years back.

Hey, you down to help us?

- Absolutely.
- Medic 65,

report of a child with
injuries on Lemon Hill.

We're on our way.
Hey, take a deep breath.

It can only go up
from here, right?

Until it doesn't.

Sanjay!

Danielle!

- Wow. Hi!
- What are you doing here?

I thought you worked
in the 18th precinct.

Yeah, my sergeant said that
the 11th was short-staffed

for the holidays,
so he sent me over here.

Oh. Great.

- Yeah, great.
- Yeah, great.

Great, great.

Yeah, great.

So, I haven't, uh,
seen you since...

The Policeman's Ball
last New Year's.

- Sanjay: Yes.
- Yeah.

Right before you ghosted me.

Excuse me, you ghosted me.

No, I texted you.
You didn't text me back.

Likely story.
You never texted me.

- All right, moving on.
- Yeah, moving on.

It was nice seeing you, Sanjay.
I have to start patrol.

Oh, do you mind just
showing me where I need to go?

Yeah, fine.
Who are you riding with?

- Uh, Car 25.
- Oh.

Yeah, the partner in
that car is--

Is on paternity leave.

- Well, lucky me.
- Lucky you.

Well, at least we'll have
a lot of time to catch up.

Great.

Should I follow you?

- Danielle: Yeah.
- I'll follow you.

And one more inhale.

Take a deep breath in.

And another.

Okay. Your lungs sound clear.

Your pulse ox is back up to 99%.

Thank you, Doctor.

We need to get that off you.

So, how long have
you been asthmatic?

Since I was a kid,

but it's been getting worse.

That's not uncommon
as we get older. Lungs weaken,

immune system can't
fight off infections as well.

Oh, it's not anything
to worry about.

We can manage this.

It's just it's--
it's been a lot lately.

I'm sorry.
Is everything else okay?

Work? Family?

I'm actually between
jobs at the moment.

I have been for a while.

I don't have any family around.

I live alone.

You'd I think
I'd be used to it by now,

but this time of year
is always the hardest, so...

Well, the hospital has a
world-class crisis center,

if you wanted
to talk to someone.

No, I'm fine.

Are you sure? I can refer you.

I'm sure.

Okay. I will send in a
prescription for a new inhaler.

If your oxygen levels drop
again, come back in right away.

I will. Thank you, Doctor.

Okay. Take care.

It's Christmas!

They are Christmas decorations!

And I can see that.
You have all the decorations.

Maybe consider leaving
some for someone else.

- Ever thought of that?
- Look how beautiful

this dinosaur with a
candy cane in the mouth is!

It's a Tyrannosaurus Rex. It's
not even part of this region.

Okay, okay, calm down.
What seems to be the problem?

I'm gonna calm down as soon
as he puts this stuff

back in the storage.

You can make him do that, right?

There's gotta be some sort of
law against having all of this.

Well, actually, there's not.

He's free to decorate
his yard as he sees fit.

That is a cool T-Rex, dude.

- Dang!
- T-Rex. That is not a T-Rex.

That's not a 40-foot dinosaur.

Actually, one could interpret
this excessive display

as a public nuisance.

Thank you. You hear that?
Public nuisance.

- Up high.
- No.

So, you're saying that it's
possible we have two different

interpretations of
what's going on here.

Danielle: Yeah, that's
exactly what I'm saying.

Well, how about that?

Hmph.

Do you two need a minute or...

- We're good.
- Look,

why don't you just
close your blinds

for the next couple of weeks?

I'm sure it'll be
all back to normal by then.

- Ha!
- I'll be over with.

Close my blinds?
Are you kidding me?

Do you how many
lumens that gives off?

I get it. You're not a fan,
but you are neighbors.

Maybe we can channel some of
that Christmas spirit?

The whole peace and love thing?

Yeah, love thy neighbor.
What do you say, guys?

- Danielle: Huh?
- You kidding me?

That's the solution here?
Thanks, Magnum.

This is great.

Some people, am I right?

- What was that?
- Grinch says what?

Yeah, why don't you go cheer for

a real football team,
like the Cowboys?

- Whoa, whoa, too far.
- Hey, hey, hey, hey!

Giddy up!

Whoa. Whoa. Go Birds.

Neighbor:
That's not even a real team.

Hey, do you have a minute?

Always. Well, maybe not always,
but right now, yes.

I just saw a patient, asthmatic.

Hmm. Nebulizer work?

It did. She was released.

Oh. Sounds good so far.

Yeah, it's just--

it's difficult when patients
need help, more than medical.

Personal help?

Yeah. I told her
about our resources

and tried to get her
to help herself.

Sometimes,
that's all we can do.

Nurse
Dr. Williams to exam room 3.

There's your cue.

Thanks, Dr. Stanfield.

No problem.

Hello.

Hi, Doctor.

- Hi.
- Um...

this is Alec.

He's ten
and he hurt his leg sledding.

Hi Alec.

Thank you.
Um, it's nice to meet you.

Can you tell me
where your leg hurts?

Is my mom here?

I'm sure she will be here soon.

When?

Tell me, Alec,

have you ever listened to
someone's heartbeat?

Okay. You wanna pop these
in your ears for me,

like headphones?

- Mom?
- En route. Could be a while.

Now, tell me if
you hear anything.

Did you check for a concussion?

All clear. Just the tibia and
some mild soft tissue damage.

Okay.

No way! Is that really your
heart?

- Mm-hmm.
- It's so loud!

Why is it in your wrist?

That is where
your radial artery is.

Cool, right?

Hi. He should go
straight to orthopedics.

Ready? Let's go for a ride.

Be strong, champ.

See you later, okay?

Oh, I like that
stethoscope trick.

Oh, well, thank you.
My dad taught me that.

- Really?
- Mm-hmm.

Did he also teach you how
to run a trauma unit?

Because you rocked
that last night.

Right. You are the EMT who
brought that crash victim in.

You were very thorough.

Hm. That means a lot
coming from a doctor.

So, uh, when did you start here?

About a month ago. I moved here
as soon as I got the position.

Welcome. I'm Wes Campbell.

Hannah Williams.

So, you liking Philly,
Hannah Williams?

So far, so good.

I mean, I haven't really had
a chance to explore yet.

Oh? What have you seen so far?

Uh, let's see.
There is my condo.

Oh, yes. And then, there's
the six blocks from my condo

to the hospital,
and that's about it.

Okay, well, what
about South Street?

The Christmas lights
at Boathouse Row?

Tell me you've at least
had a cheesesteak.

No.

What is happening here?
Philly is literally,

like, the best Christmas
city in the world.

It's the perfect time to explore

all that brotherly love
that we're famous for.

In fact, you know what?

How about tonight at six? Hmm?

A few of us from the station
are going to be surprising

a friend of ours
with some decorations.

You should come.
You could even bring, your,

uh, your kids or your...

husband, boyfriend.

She's very, very single,

just like you.

Uh...

Nurse
Dr. Williams, surgery line one.

Dispatcher
EMS 65, please respond.

Both: That's me.

Yeah.

Uh, okay, yeah, thanks.
Maybe I'll see you later.

Yeah.

Um, yeah.

Oh, don't--
don't even start.

Let's get back to the station.

Danielle: What's up?

Wes: Oh, hey.

Sanjay, this is my cousin Wes.

- Nice to meet you.
- What's up, brother?

What brings you by?

Just on patrol,
thought we'd say hi.

Oh. You guys are partners now?

He's just in my division
until Christmas.

Oh, I didn't mention,
I applied for a transfer.

I really like the neighborhood.

So, what's with the side hustle?

EMS not paying the bills?

It's for charity.

All the proceeds go to
Home for the Holidays program

we run at the community center.

Yeah, yeah, I heard about that.
That's nice work. Good job.

Thanks.
You know, I like this guy.

He likes me.

He really, really likes me.

Dispatcher Car 252
collision at 22nd and Pi.

- Nice to meet you.
- Copy that. Car 252 en route.

Don't forget the
pecan pie for Grandma!

Never do.

Emerson: Thank you.
I'll let her know.

Oh, Dr. Williams,
that was the lab calling.

About Mrs. Scott?

You were right--
mesenteric ischemia.

Great catch. You saved her life.

I'm just glad she'll be here
for another Christmas.

Yep. And since you're done,
you can go meet Wes.

You were listening?

I am always listening.

You're headed home soon, too?

In a bit.
I just have something to do.

Okay. Night.

Have a nice time.

I will.

*

All right, all right,
let's move it, people.

The clock is ticking.
Who's got that inflatable Santa?

Yeah, he needs to be
up on the roof, stat.

Hey. Glad you could make it.

Well, thanks for inviting me.
This is such a nice thing to do.

Yeah, well, my kindness is
currently reaching its limit.

Ahh.
Isn't there some sort of phrase

about how you can judge somebody
by how they deal with

rainy days, lost luggage?

Tangled Christmas lights?

- Yeah.
- Mm-hmm.

So much for first impressions
'cause I am losing my mind.

Let me help.
Kind of a knot nut.

Knot nut? What?
Like tying them or untying them?

Neither. Sutures are
my favorite, though--

the most satisfying
thing in the world,

except for taking them out.

Preach. What's your favorite?

Cruciate? Ford interlocking?
Vertical mattress?

This sounds like a test.

Only if you, uh, pass it.

Uh, then, my answer is
depends on the wound.

All right, you passed
with flying colors.

Yeah.

Hey, I love the
ugly Christmas sweater.

Ugly?

I'm kind-- I'm kind of
a Christmas nut, too.

Yeah? Well, would it offend you
if I said I've never worn one?

Offended? No. No. Gosh, no.
I would just...

- I'd feel bad for you.
- Yeah? Why's that?

Well, I mean, how else can you
have a "fleece Navidad"?

Wow. That-- that is really...

Funny? You were going
to say funny, right?

Yeah, no, I mean,
I suppose you could say that,

but that's not what
I was going to say.

Somebody might say
that that was funny.

You've probably been waiting

along time for
the chance to say that, huh?

Eh, just a couple of decades.

Chief: 30 minutes and counting!

Hey Wes, I need some more
of those lights, buddy.

I got close. Maybe the Chief
can help you finish.

- Yeah.
- There you go.

Uh, well, duty calls.

A large section is untangled.

We're gonna figure this out,
don't you worry.

- Careful
- Okay.

Don't tangle them again, please.

"Fleece Navidad". Okay.

"Fleece Navidad".

Hey.

Hi, Mom. How are you?

Fine. How are you?

Oh, I miss you so much.

So do I. I miss you like crazy.

Yeah. Things have
been good here, though.

You don't have to worry.
We're good.

We've been traveling
for the last couple days

and just set up base.

You know, fire's going,
we've got food going.

And Jones, he plays guitar,

so we sing Christmas carols
every night after dinner.

I like it.

How about you? Have you made
your butterball cookies yet?

Of course. It's not Christmas
time until I make them.

And then, Dad devours the whole
batch, so you have to make more.

I sent you a box.
They should get there in time.

You're the best, Mom.

I wish you were here.

Christmas just isn't
the same without you.

Yeah, I know.

But I've got leave
in March, so...

Trust me, I'm already
counting down the days.

And you know, I know I don't
tell you this enough,

but Chloe, I'm...

I'm very proud of you.

And all...

What you're...

Oh.

Yeah. Oh.

Sorry, I don't think...

Chloe?

Chloe?

Say hi to Dad for me.

Oh, hey, fellas,
let's straighten that out, huh?

So, do you like what you do?

I love it.

I mean, it's hard,
don't get me wrong.

But at the end of a shift,

I'm never like, "Gee,
that was boring."

How do you keep your cool under
all that pressure in the ER?

Me?
At least I have support staff

and an entire hospital
around me. What about you?

You're in the field.

I can't believe
what you guys do every day.

You're the real heroes.

Hey, that looks great,

but, uh, how are they going
to open the mailbox?

- Oh.
- Uh... Oh.

Chief: Okay, everyone,

here they come!

- Okay.
- Chief: Let's get ready.

And three...

All: ...two, one!

Oh, thanks, everyone.

This is incredible.

Yeah, well, it's your last
Christmas before college.

It seems like you and your mom
should celebrate in style.

Merry Christmas.

Thank you, Wes.

Bring it in, man.

You want to join in, Chief?

Should have seen
the look on your faces.

I-I did this single-handedly,
just FYI.

Hey, wait, wait, wait.
Hold on a minute.

So, after residency,
you went to Costa Rica?

I wanted to improve my Spanish,

so I could speak to patients
without a translator.

That is some
dedication right there.

Thanks. But I've always been
drawn to emergency medicine.

Ah.

So, wait,
your family's from Seattle.

Why did you choose Philadelphia?

Dr. Stanfield is
a renowned specialist

in trauma resuscitation.
I wanted to learn from the best.

And my dad loved his time
spent working here.

Your dad is a big influence?

I've been following in his
size-11 footsteps my whole life.

All the way home?

Well, it doesn't really
feel like home. Not yet anyway.

I don't have any relatives here
or friends for that matter.

I beg to differ.

And now, that it's the holidays,

I don't know,
I'm starting to feel homesick.

Yeah?
Let me take a look at that.

Hold on. Ooh, yeah,
you are a little warm.

Yeah, that is definitely
a case of acute homesickness.

Maybe I can help.

I'll think about it.

What is there to think about?

I mean,
what are your credentials

to treat homesickness?

Well, first of all,
I am Philly born and bred.

Go Birds.

Oh, do you say that every time?

Every time.

And I don't know, I served
five years in the Marines.

As a medic?

Yep.

Explains the love of sutures.

Mm-hmm. And to really
prove my Philly cred,

I go and see the mummers
every year on New Year's Day.

You see the what?

Do you know what
the mummers are?

It's basically like,
every year, thousands of people

dress up in costumes,
they march down Broad Street

in this big, giant parade
on New Year's Day.

And that's
a Philadelphia tradition?

It's the Philadelphia tradition.

I guess I have a lot to learn.

Hey, I'm always here to help.

Well, I'll call
your office tomorrow

and make an appointment.

Man, don't threaten me
with a good time.

No, thank you.
I was so happy to be there.

It was beautiful.
Oh, this is me.

I thought you said
you were a Christmas nut.

I know.
I don't even have a tree.

You still got a week
till Christmas.

I mean, we could get you sorted.

I'll grab you a tree and
some lights from the firehouse.

That'd be great,
but I don't have a car.

I got a truck.

Well, that's perfect.

I mean, as long
as you're dropping it off,

maybe you would want to
help decorate it, too.

You can't miss the best part.

I would even make
some of my famous hot cocoa.

It's instant, but I like
to think of it as famous.

Um, yeah. Yeah, sure.

How about tomorrow?

Uh, I work a double tomorrow.
How's Wednesday?

I'm on call. Um, Thursday?

Yeah, yeah.
I should be home by 7:30.

All right, it's a date.

Not a date,
just like we'll just...

Sounds like a date to me.

Good night, Mrs. Martino.

Good night, Hannah.

Good night, handsome.

Well, welcome to Philly.

Thanks.

See you soon.

Oh, thanks. Merry Christmas.

Dad...

*

Morning, Dr. Williams.

Oh, those are cute.

My dad sent me an advent
calendar in the mail,

and these are
the first present.

- Adorable.
- Hannah: Right?

Oh, did you see
the mistletoe I put up?

You never know when it
might come in handy.

Love in the ER.
What are the odds?

Better than you think.

Oh, I see
the matchmaker's been at work.

Yeah, that's right,
and I'm good at it, too.

Devin and Phil,

Jay and Dina, you and Trish.

- Who's Trish?
- Trish is my wife.

Emerson introduced us
at a Christmas party.

How do you have time
to do all that matchmaking

with everything going on here?

I find the time because of
everything going on here.

All day, every day, people come
in here with their loved ones,

hoping they'll leave here
with their loved ones.

But if working here has
taught us anything, it's this--

we don't have time
to not find love.

Back to business.

CT came in for exam room four.

I'll check it.

Both: Other way.

I'll get it eventually.

It wasn't me.

Then, who did it?
The Ghost from Christmas Past?

I don't know. I didn't get
a chance to ID the guy.

Do you believe this man?

Do I believe that
he trashed your yard

or that he doesn't know who the
Ghost of Christmas Past is?

Both. Either.

- Will you just arrest this man?
- For what?

- I heard him on my roof.
- Half of that is my roof.

This is his ladder;
his name is on the ladder

for crying out loud.

Erroneous! Erroneous!
That is circumstantial evidence.

Your Honors, I object.
I know my rights.

Did you know you have
the right to remain silent?

Yes, I did.

Well, maybe you should
exercise it more often.

Yeah, button it, turkey.

I didn't say anything
incriminating yet.

I meant for the rest of us.

Look, the bottom line is,
do you want to press charges?

Both: Yes!

I guess it's time
to take some statements.

Which one do you want?

Danielle: Hmm...

I feel you.

I'll go with this guy.

All right.
Handsome, you're with me.

Watch the penguin!

*

Hi.

Hi. I just brought someone in.

Emerson said you were
out here on break.

Oh, do they need me?

No, no, no. Stanfield's got it.

A couple of dads

got in a fight over
the last doll at a toy store.

Yeah.

- Tis the season, I guess.
- Mm-hmm.

Yeah. Speaking of which,
the fire station

holds an annual holiday
open house every year.

It's for the Children's
Hospital of Philadelphia.

Thought maybe
you'd like to come.

I'd love to.

Hey, are we
still on for tonight?

Because I mean,
I got more manicotti

than any human
could ever eat, so...

I love manicotti.

Dispatcher
Medic 65, are you there?

7:30's still good?

Still great.

All right. Medic 65 here. Over.

Go get 'em.

What do you think
about that one?

Huh. It's a good call.
I think Hannah will love it.

Thank you.

Hey. Thanks for rallying
everyone the other night.

I was really thoughtful of you.

Hey, no sweat, man.
Anything for your family.

So, I, uh...
I heard back from Cal Poly.

Yeah?

Yeah. I got in.

Yes! Hey, Merry Christmas, man!

Congratulations, man!
That's awesome!

Isn't that your dream school?

Kinda. I mean, it was definitely
where I was most excited to go.

Was? What-- what happened?
What do you mean "was"?

I don't know, man, it's on the
other side of the country.

Honestly, I think
I'd get really homesick.

Oh, it's really going around.

- What?
- Forget it.

First things first, how does
your mom feel about this?

I haven't told her.

No? How come?

Ah.

Okay, I see.
Well, it seems to me

that you're more concerned
about your mom being alone

than you are about
actually being homesick.

I'm sure she just wants
what's best for you, man.

Which is why she told me to go.

Even though she really wants
you to stay. Yeah, I know.

Well, look, I don't know.

I think your mom is
a really special lady.

Maybe she can feel
two things at once.

Yeah.

Are you sure you're okay?

Yeah, I'll be fine.

I can't say you
don't deserve it.

Thank you. Why's that?

We were called to break up the
snowball fight, not join it.

They wouldn't listen to reason.

- They're fifth graders.
- Are you sure?

That one kid had
a cannon for an arm.

I wouldn't be surprised

if he's pitching for
the Phillies in ten years.

I should have got his autograph.

Hey, I just wanted to say I'm
sorry for being so prickly

when you first got here.

It just caught me off guard,
that's all.

Thank you.

Yeah, I guess I could
have given you a heads-up.

It's just, it felt weird
texting after so long.

And I, um...

Well, about that, I was
thinking maybe the two of us--

Hi!

- Oh!
- Sanjay, I hope you're hungry.

Everyone's waiting at Figo.

Hi, I'm Laila.
You must be Danielle.

Yeah, that's me. Um...

Have a nice dinner, Sanjay.

I'll see you tomorrow.

- Yeah. See you then.
- Bye!

Bye!

Okay, I'm so hungry.
I want arancini, I want lasagna.

Dessert, what are we gonna do?

Okay, so, you two

have the decorations
and the toy giveaway.

John and Hank
have food and beverages.

Am I forgetting anything?

Your daughter.

She has her holiday
performance in two days.

See that?

See? I told you I'd forget.

Again.

Thank you, Sanchez.

Yeah, no problem, Chief.

All right, what about you,
Chief? What you got?

I got the list.

Roger that. Oh, man.

So, how you feeling
about everything?

Honestly, setting up for this
open house is way more my speed.

Maybe I should have been
an event planner instead.

Come on, get out of here.
You were born to be an EMT.

No kidding.
Third-generation paramedic.

Maybe that's
part of the problem.

How so?

You have high expectations.

Maybe.

How'd you feel
about the call today

with the two dads
at the toy store?

I mean, I still
just followed your lead.

Is there anything
wrong with that?

What if we roll up
on a situation

that's more than you can handle?

Won't happen. Impossible.

Come on. I'm being serious.
What if we get overwhelmed?

I get it, I do, but--
but when it happens,

I'm sure you'll step it up.

I hope so.

Maybe I ought to go on vacation,

so I can throw you
in the deep end by yourself.

No, no, no. Don't you dare. No.

I haven't even
driven the rig yet.

So, I can put
you down for a yes?

Sure. Why not?
But mark my word,

if I'm in a secret Santa,
I always get socks.

Oh, look at you, Mr. Spiffy.

Oh. Off to the show?

Which show?

My wife bought us tickets
to The Nutcracker,

so I switched out with
Dr. Mullen. Can't miss this.

Dr. Williams,
you're done for the night?

Signing out soon.

Have a great time.

- Good night.
- Good night.

6:45, right on time.

Meeting someone?

Listen--

Okay, what do we got?

Prep the trauma team.

Is he responsive?
What's his BP?

Still not home yet, dear?

Oh, yeah. I mean,
we probably just,

I don't know, got our signals
crossed or something.

You're welcome to wait in my
place for as long as you like.

I make an excellent panettone.

I should--
I should probably head back.

Got an early shift
in the morning.

Yeah.

Nobody's gonna take those,
not in this building.

You have a good night.

See you soon... I hope.

Yeah, me too.

Oh, no. Wes.

*

Hannah, hi.

You're not at work?

Hi, Dad.

No, I've got an overnight,
so I have the day off.

And I just...

missed having my
morning cocoa with you

in my Christmas PJs,

so I thought I'd just
bring a bit of home...

well, home.

I love that.

And I love our morning cocoas,

even if it's only
over the phone.

But days off are rare.

You should go into the city.
Go to Independence Park.

Well, I actually met someone.

He was going to show me around.

He?

Elaborate.

He's an EMT.

Well, must be a good soul.

Philly born and raised.
Go Birds.

Well, Philadelphians
are my favorite people.

He sounds like a keeper.

I think you're
jumping the gun a bit, Dad.

Well, that's what dads do;
we jump the gun.

Ahh, it doesn't matter anyway.

We had plans last night,

but I just--
I got held up at the hospital.

Look, if he's an EMT,
I'm sure he'll understand.

It's not like
you didn't want to see him.

Yeah, true, but with his
schedule and my schedule,

it's just-- I don't know,
maybe it's not right.

Well, look, if it feels right,
you make it right.

That's why I moved to Seattle.

What? No.

I thought you moved because
you had a great job offer.

Well, I did but
your mom's family was here,

and you were a baby,
you needed family around.

I mean, I loved Philly and I
loved working at Fairhaven,

but I love you more.

Thanks, Dad. Love you.

Love you, too, sweetheart.
Bye-bye.

Bye.

Wes: You see two over there?

- Sanchez: These?
- Wes: Yeah. All good.

Hey.

Hope you like
gingerbread lattes.

Can't get enough of these.

Thank you.

No thanks.
I never really touch those.

Mmm. Your loss, Scrooge.

Hey, were you at the hospital
last night for that accident?

Yeah, I was.
I ended up having to stay late.

It happened so suddenly,

and I tried calling
last night and this morning,

but kept going to voicemail.

Oh, now I get it.
That's why you're grumpy.

I'm not grumpy.

I...

Give the lady a break.
She was saving lives.

And she brought you a latte.

Don't you have some emergency to
tend to or something, Sanchez?

As a matter of fact, I do.

I have to find somebody
who wants to take

this gingerbread latte
before it gets cold.

- Thank you.
- No problem.

I'm so sorry.

I was calling you to
tell you that I was on my way,

but then the gurneys rolled in.

No, no, no. Julia's right.

Honestly,
I just wanted to hold a grudge

for, like, at least one day.

Oh, yeah?
How's that going for you?

- Not good.
- No?

No. Uh-uh.

It's good to see you.

So, even though
you're not actually mad,

could I keep apologizing a bit

because I actually
prepared a whole thing.

All right. Bring it.

So, the thing is,
I really love my job,

but I also don't want it to take
over every part of my life.

It's just,

well, you know, there's--

there's always someone
in the waiting room.

Oh, I do know.
I bring most of them there.

- Thanks for the business.
- Yeah.

You know, I'm not
exactly a shining example

of work-life balance
either with my job, too.

But, um... I don't know.

If something
important comes along,

I'm going to make the time.

And well, uh...
I don't know.

Let's just say I feel like I
want to keep some time free.

Oh? For what?

Pickleball. Mm-hmm.

- What else?
- It's a wild time.

Of course. Well,
as great as that sounds,

we still have
to decorate my tree.

Oh, and I haven't had

an authentic Philly
cheesesteak yet.

This must be
rectified immediately.

I know.

Hey!

Well, I'm ten minutes early,

so you must mean business today.

Ready to start patrol, Officer.

Officer? Okay, that's formal.

Thought it was respectful.
We're at work, aren't we?

Hey are you, uh-- are you okay?
You seem a little...

Everything's great.
How was your dinner?

Oh, it was great. Yeah.
Laila wanted to go to

her favorite restaurant
for her birthday.

- So, we--
- Fun.

So, how long have you been
seeing each other?

Oh, uh, me and Laila?

Long time now, like 25 years.

Yeah, we've, uh--
we've practically

known each other
our whole lives. Mm-hmm.

That's great.
I'm really happy for you.

Yeah, our parents introduced us.

- Yeah.
- Because she's my sister.

Oh, I learned
a whole lot right there.

Okay, Danielle, I'm single.

Very, very single,
and I have been for a year.

How come?

Well, funny story.

I met a girl last year,
New Year's Eve,

and she was...

And we had
a great time, I thought.

We even kissed at midnight.

And I've been waiting
to run into her ever since...

which sounds a little pathetic
now that I say it out loud.

So, maybe I should move on.
What do you think?

Dispatcher
25. 25. Backup requested

to quell a disturbance
at the Eagles game.

Copy that. On our way.

You were not seriously
just saved by the quell.

Hey, shift's over, Chief.
We're about to clock out.

Sounds good.
We're just about to, uh,

check the tire pressure

on the hook and ladder
with a road test.

A road test to check
the tire pressure?

And I was going to
remind you about that,

but, uh,
it looks like you remember.

Only took me three years
to learn my lesson.

Road test, everyone! Code one.

Code one?

As in no lights or sirens?
What's going on?

Why don't you ride along
with them and find out?

Okay, yeah.

* Jingle bells, jingle bells,
jingle all the way *

* Oh, what fun it is to ride
in a one-horse open sleigh *

Dispatcher
Engine 21,

respond to Rittenhouse Market
for possible structure fire.

That's our cue.

Bye, Daddy. I love you.

Bye. Come on, let's go.

Be safe.

*

Those places are great,
don't get me wrong.

But this one is just--

I don't know,
it's closer to my heart.

- How come?
- Uh, when I was a kid,

my dad used to bring me here
after Sixers' and Flyers' games.

Great memories, you know.

- Mm-hmm.
- Thank you.

Hey, Wes. How you doing?

Donna, what's up? Looks like
you're keeping busy in here.

All day, every day.
You know it's Christmas.

Oh. This is Hannah, by the way.
Donna.

- Oh, nice to meet you, sweetie.
- Hi, Donna.

All right. What'll you have?

Where is the menu?

There's no menu.

Do you want onions?

I don't know. Do I?

- You want onions.
- Guess I do.

Whiz or whizout?

Pardon?

She's not from around here.

Obviously.

Uh, let's do two whiz with.

Trust me.

I think
you should trust him.

- Two whiz with.
- All right.

Two whiz with, coming right up.

Hey. Go, Birds.

Go, Birds.

Check you out. You're getting
the hang of this, huh?

- All right. Merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas.

I was so shy and awkward
in high school.

I had no idea
what I wanted to do,

and so, I joined the Marines
right after graduation.

Mmm.

What do you think?

Oh. Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm? Yeah.

You know,
after a couple of tours,

I went to college
on the GI Bill.

Still didn't know
what I wanted to do

until I got an internship
with the fire department.

And then, I immediately knew.
You know?

I had found my calling.

So, I added

a fire safety engineering major,
and--

Wait. You're a firefighter, too?

Yeah.

Wow. Impressive.

Coming from
an emergency medicine doctor.

I think we're just built
for what we do.

Like, maybe because of my dad,

I never really thought of
doing anything else,

and once you found
the fire department,

you just knew.

It's interesting
when you just know

something's right, you know?

Right.

And then, I guess,
you can't fight fate.

I guess not.

Here you go.

Oh. We didn't order these.

Oh, it's on the house.

Besides, anyone that
can make Wes look that happy

deserves a treat.
Have fun, kids,

but not too much fun.

Thanks, Donna.

You make me happy, too,
you know.

Yeah. I can see why.

Yeah. It's called
Home for the Holidays.

It's run out of the
Rittenhouse Community Center,

and basically,
we help connect people in need

with the right services.

Anyone who's in need
of a helping hand is welcome.

How long have you been working
with them?

Ever since I got out of
the service.

There are so many veterans
who are in need

of job training resources, and--
I don't know.

It was just my way
to help them out.

You're a good soul.

Funny little secret
is that service

actually makes me feel better.

Yeah. I feel the same way.

I knew you would.

Oh, this is perfect

for Philly. I love Rocky.

My dad and I watched it together

so many times.

Oh. No, no, no.
You don't have to do that.

No. I mean, this is actually
my pleasure,

because now,
I don't have to wrack my brain

trying to figure out
what to get you for Christmas.

Well, maybe. Maybe not.
But now, the pressure's on me.

Thank you.

- Clerk: Here you go.
- Do you, um--

- Thank you so much.
- Thanks, brother.

You want to, I don't know,
get some hot chocolate?

I'll walk you home.

Yeah. I'd like that.

Right this way.

Oh, sir, this is so nice.

So, any idea
what we're doing here?

I thought Tacky Yard Guy
wasn't going to press charges

against No Decor Guy.

Who?

Oh, I gave them nicknames
in my head.

Hey. Is everything okay?

Yeah, yeah.

I just wanted to apologize,

and after
the whole "cowboys" comment,

I thought a police presence
might be required.

Good idea.

Well, your neighbor wants
to talk to you for a sec.

Are you cool with that?

I guess.

Look, Keith.

The past couple of years
have been pretty hard on me.

Work's been really stressful,

and that's caused some tension
in my family,

and it's been tough
to see you be so merry

when I just feel so...

...not merry?

Yeah. Yeah. Exactly.

But I was wrong.

Your decorations, they bring

so much joy to the neighborhood,

and I was wrong to take that
away from them, and from you.

So, I'm sorry.

Thanks, Ernie.

And I could probably keep
some of my stuff off your side.

Well, I could have just
closed the blinds.

That was a really
good suggestion, Magnum.

Keith: Yeah. I could have turned
everything off

at a more respectable time.

Yeah. That'd be nice.

It's not so much the light.
It's just the sounds.

Seriously,
what are we doing here?

Lighten up. It's sweet.

Anyway, um--

- Aw.
- What's that?

Oh, it's a Christmas-themed
cornhole game.

Cool.

I thought
I could set up one half

on my side of the yard
and one half on your side.

What do you say?

Link yards.

I always wanted to do that.

Merry Christmas?

Merry Christmas.

Neighbors?

- Oh.
- Oh!

Okay. I did not see that coming.

Me, neither.

Does he look like a geek to you?

- Ernie?
- Nice geek.

You're kidding.

No. Believe it.

We used to call ourselves
the Four Turtle Doves.

Performed everywhere.

That's funny. I don't
picture you as a caroler.

Bite your tongue.

I mean, this isn't just, like,
singing Christmas songs.

We are a four-part
a cappella group that--

That sings Christmas carols?

That's right.

You know, music was always
a very special part of my life,

especially this time of year.

You know, my dad actually
used to lead the choir

at Christmas.

Never really left me. And thus,

the Four Turtle Doves.

- It sounds lovely.
- Yeah. It was.

But we lost our fourth member.

He moved away last year.

- Oh. That's too bad.
- I know.

But I have an idea of how we
might be able to bring him back.

Oh? Mysterious.

Well, the balls are done.
What's next?

Cookie break.

My family always baked cookies
together

before we decorated the tree.

Thanks for keeping
the tradition with me.

Mm-hmm.

- Mmm.
- Hmm?

- Hmm?
- I love this tradition.

Mm-hmm.

You know what my family does
for Christmas?

I mean, we make enough food
to feed an army.

Oh. Well, makes for
lots of leftovers, at least.

Yeah. Well, you'd think so,
but not in my family.

Know what? You should come.

That would be really nice,

but I work Christmas, of course.

Of course.

Well, I'll save you a plate.

Thanks.

Um, when I was a kid,

my parents started giving me

an ornament every year
with special meanings,

so I would always, you know,
have a collection

with sentimental value.

Mm-hmm. That looks pretty.

Okay.

I got her when I was 12,

when I started violin lessons.

- Mm-hmm.
- Oh.

And, um--

Oh, yeah, yeah.
You'll like this one.

This is from when I was admitted
to medical school.

Oh.
Now, that is worth celebrating.

Mm-hmm.

Well, you can't forget
the boxing gloves.

Oh. Are you kidding me?
Best one.

Hmm.

Ah.

Now, I will always remember

where I was this year
for Christmas.

And hopefully,
it'll be a fond memory.

It already is.

I have
so many wonderful memories

of Christmas with my family.

Like, even if
my dad was working,

he and my mom would always
make sure that it was special.

And through the years,
I always found a way

to get home for Christmas.

I didn't want to admit it
to myself,

but I was nervous about
spending this one alone.

Well, I have some good news
for you.

You're not alone.

Ah.

Sorry.

Yeah. Time to go to work.

But I'll see you
at the open house.

Yeah. I can't wait.

I had a great time today.

Yeah. Me, too.

"Whiz with."

"Go, Birds."

Hannah:
Take another deep breath.

Sounds good.

And you've been using
your inhaler?

Yeah. More than usual, actually.

Sorry. You'd think
I'd be used to it by now.

Don't be sorry.

It's not easy to deal with
any chronic illness,

especially now, with everything
else going on in our lives.

Betsy, if I've learned anything
as a doctor,

it's that we can never give up.

Not on others
and not on ourselves.

I'm trying.

I've been trying. It's just--

It just gets so hard sometimes.

You know, I have a friend

who was telling me about
this program

called Home for the Holidays.

They have job training,
outreach resources

and community meetings.

It might be something
you'd be into.

That's not really my thing.

Maybe it could be.

I'll write you
a new prescription,

and I'll do everything I can
to keep your lungs healthy.

But I need you to treat
your heart.

If you change your mind,

it's at the Rittenhouse
Community Center.

Thanks, doc.

Of course.

Anderson:
Well, this here

is what you call
a fire extinguisher,

to extinguish fires, if you pay
attention to the gauge.

Say. That's a beautiful family,
now.

Hey.

Hey. Don't burn yourself again
like you did last year, now.

You going to save me
one of them Philly dogs?

Woman:
Sure thing, Wes.

Check, check. Check, check.

Doc, hey.
The singing starts later now.

I'm checking my equipment.
Check, check, check.

Hey. Uh, this is from the Myers
and the Gallaghers.

Hmm. Thanks.

- Danielle coming?
- She's on patrol.

Check, check.

Can you take over karaoke
for me?

I don't want him
to wreck anything.

Hold up.
Does that mean I have to sing?

Only if no one volunteers.

Trust me.
No one wants to hear me sing.

Well, I'm sure it's not true.

Well, no one's going to
find out. That's for sure.

What's up?

- Hey!
- Hey.

Welcome.
How was your overnight?

It was good.
Got a good nap in today,

and I'm ready to party.

This for the toy drive?

Uh, yes. This one is.

And this one is for you.

Wow. You didn't have to do that.

I know.

Should I open it now,
or wait till Christmas?

Open it now, obviously.

Oh, wow.

This is so, um,

ugly, right?

That's right.

Thanks.

- Uh, you should put it on.
- Oh, no way.

I-- You serious?

Yeah.

Look at him.

You had to get me, like,
a boys' medium?

- It looks great.
- Your definition of "great"--

- Don't panic.
- Oh, hey.

You're just in time.

Oh. Nice sweater.

I'm first up to karaoke.

Oh, I'm so glad
that I didn't miss it.

Once a year, one song,
and then I'm out of here.

I got the early morning shift
tomorrow.

- Ah.
- What about this?

Testing.

Okay.

Welcome to Station House 21

for our annual
holiday open house!

I'm Julia, and I'm apparently
your karaoke host.

I know we have a lot of talent
in the crowd.

Right here.

Good. Come on up.

Merry Christmas, everyone.

I'd like to dedicate this song
to my daughter Chloe.

It's our favorite.

* Joy to the world *

* The Lord is come *

* Let earth receive her king *

* Let every heart
prepare him room *

Hey. You want to, you know,
grab some hot chocolate?

* And heaven and nature sing *

Oh, I should stay
and hear her sing.

* And heaven and nature sing *

Oh, no. You got time. Trust me.

* And heaven *

* Ho-ho-ho, who wouldn't go
up on the rooftop *

I thought Emerson said,
"one song."

* Down through the chimney *

Emerson says "one song"
every year,

and every year
she's the last to leave.

Oh, man. She is going to be
so excited when we--

Shh.

So...

What's your...

What's your plan
on Christmas

when your shift is done?

Oh. Um, not sure.

You?

Maybe we can find some time

to celebrate together.

Yeah. Yeah. I'd like that.

Unit commander:
Engine 21, Medic 65.

Oh, no.

Commander: We have reports of
a large-scale fire--

Okay.

Daddy's going to have to go,
okay, baby?

Yep. Got to go to work.
I love you.

- Daddy, I love you.
Bye. Stay safe.

- To be continued?
- Yeah. Stay safe.

Woman:
Please clear the area.

Thank you!

Okay. How you feeling?

Why?

You're going to take the lead
on this one.

- What?
- It's okay.

I'll be right here
the whole time.

You know what to do, okay?

All right. So, what's the first
thing we do?

What's the first step, Julia?
Come on.

Julia, look at me. Hey.

Come on. What's the first step?
You got this.

I'll do the assessment.
You manage the monitor.

Okay. Sir?

Sir, can you hear me?

Male, about 45. Unresponsive.
Pulse stable.

Wes:
Excuse me. Please clear the way.

*

- Sanjay: No.
- Danielle: Oh, no.

No.

You have terrible taste
in movies.

I don't have
terrible taste in movies.

I just happen to know
a classic when I see it.

A hot take.

No. I would submit to you
that Die Hard

is not only a Christmas movie.

It is the most incredible
Christmas movie ever.

John McClane was my hero
growing up.

You're nuts. What about
It's a Wonderful Life?

- Ah.
- Zuzu's petals? Come on.

I don't see this troublemaker.
Do you?

No.

Hey. Police!

Freeze!

McLaughlin, let's go!

Relax. It's fine.

Come on!
We're going to lose him.

We won't.

Well, that's just great.
We lost him.

No, we didn't. Trust me.

Look. I don't know where
you got your training from,

but I need to know
you have my six.

And I don't know how
you do things in the 11th, but--

Yeah?

Well done, Officer McLaughlin.

Hmm. Come on out, bud.

- Let's go.
- Yep.

- Mmm. Mmm.
- Mm-hmm.

Mmm!

Okay. That smells amazing.

It's in the break room
if you want a slice.

Can't leave the post.

What? No.
We'll watch the desk.

- You sure?
- Yes. It's Christmas.

- Get some.
- Thank you.

- There you go.
- I'll be back soon.

Mm-hmm.

Oh. Um, hey.

How's Chloe doing?

She couldn't make
our weekly call last night

'cause something came up.

We probably won't talk
till after Christmas.

- Oh.
- Oh. I'm sorry.

Emerson? The patient
in exam room three needs saline.

Oh. Right away, doctor.

- I'm here for your sal--
- Here for my what?

For my hug?

- Chloe?
- Hi, Mom!

Oh, my God!

Chloe, what are
you doing here?

I came home
for Christmas, Mom.

Well, that is
the best Christmas gift ever.

Then this will be second-best.

You are the only gift I need.

Oh, Mom.

Okay. Hold up. Hold on.

How did you get in here?
No one gets past me in this ER.

I had some accomplices.

Thank you, guys. All of you.
Thank you.

Merry Christmas.

Hi, chief. You wanted to see me?

Yeah.

I, uh, haven't had a chance
to check in with you.

How have
your first few shifts been?

They've been good, sir.

I mean, they've been harder
than I thought, I guess.

Yeah.

This is a hard job.

I know that. We all do.

Things can get
pretty nerve-wracking.

Getting used to the calls,
learning procedure,

remembering everything.

Yes, sir.

I'm going to ask you something
I ask all new hires.

Do you want to be here?

I don't understand. Sir--

Do you want to do this,

now that you have a sense
of what that means?

Yeah?

The pressure?

The knowledge that things
can go wrong at any minute?

That people are depending
on you?

In spite of all of that,
you still want to do this job?

I do, sir.

Good.

Stay focused.

Stay compassionate.

And most importantly, stay safe.

Glad you're part of
the 21 family.

Thank you, chief.

That was so sweet.

The look on her face? Priceless.

That was great. I'm so glad
Chloe called me to help out.

Yeah. How do you know her?

Oh, I used to serve with
her captain back in the day,

and we keep in touch.

You know, I had no idea how you
were going to get past Emerson.

So, great idea with the pizza.

Ah, I can be quite sneaky
if needed.

Oh, I'm going to have to
keep my eye on you.

Should I tell them
that they're standing

right underneath the mistletoe?

Let me guess, Mom.
You've been matchmaking again?

'Tis the season.

What time's your shift over?

Uh, 7:00.

Oh, we should catch
the holiday light show downtown.

It's beautiful, and it'll help
get you in the Christmas spirit.

I mean,
tomorrow is Christmas Eve.

Sounds perfect.

Okay, great.
I'll pick you up here?

Yeah, and I'll call you
if I get held up.

But this time,
I'll actually call you.

Good plan.
You work tomorrow, right?

Yeah, yeah. Split shift. It's in
the morning, and then overnight.

- Uh-huh.
- Why?

You're not the only one
who knows how to do sneaky.

- Mmm! See you later.
- See you.

You know,
I've been meaning to ask you.

How's your homesickness?

Definitely in remission,
at least for now.

Oh. Think you'll make it
through the holidays?

I'm working on Christmas,
so I'll be too busy to sulk.

You know, I actually really like
working on Christmas.

I mean, what's more Christmassy
than helping people?

- Good point.
- Thanks.

But I'm still going to sulk.

As you should.

But seriously, you know what?

This has turned out to be

quite the holiday season,
and it's all thanks to you.

Naturally.

Cheesesteaks?

Decorating Mack's house?

Ah. Surprising Emerson?

It doesn't really sound like

you've had much time
to be homesick.

- I guess not.
- Hmm.

You think you'll ever
eventually move back west?

I don't know,

but I'm not in a hurry.
That's for sure.

Sounds like Philly's
growing on somebody over here.

Well, how could it not?

A great day today.

Yeah. You, too.

You have plans for Christmas?

It's nice to have a day off
for once, right?

Yeah. First one in two years.
I'm excited!

I'm going out to Horsham
to see my family.

Opening presents, eggnog,
all that good stuff.

And I'll swing by the
street market Christmas morning.

I always forget to buy a present
for someone.

Nice.

How about you?

Uh, yeah. Chester.
Dad's side of the family.

Big Indian feast.

Oh, I'm jealous.
I love Indian food.

Ah, wait till you try
my grandma's samosas.

I will never get rid of you.

Uh, I'll tell you what.
I will bring you some leftovers.

So sweet of you. Thank you.

Did you just call me sweet?

I called you sweet, yes.

I swear I heard you. Yeah.

I'll see you tomorrow.

See you tomorrow.

She called me sweet.

Stanfield:
Dr. Williams?

Happy Christmas Eve Day,
Dr. Stanfield.

Same to you.
Do you have a minute?

Of course.

Your numbers this month
are outstanding.

I mean, efficiency,

successful procedures,
patient satisfaction,

it's all very impressive.

That is lovely to hear.
Thank you.

Hope I can keep it up.

Oh, I'm sure you will.

But tell me.
Um, what's the game plan?

Game plan?

Your goal. You know,
when all is said and done

and you look back over
your career,

what do you hope to see?

Well, it used to be private
practice, like my father.

I've done that. It's nice
to get to know patients

on a personal level.

Yeah. Yeah. But I--

I love it here.
Emergency. Front lines.

Hmm. There for people
when they need it the most.

Exactly.
Every day I leave exhausted,

but feeling like
we've all made a difference.

That's why I came back
to emergency medicine.

It's all about perspective.

Perspective.

Someone once gave me
some good advice.

If a patient's in the ER,
chances are

they're having
a worse day than you are.

Yeah.

* O come *

* All ye faithful *

* Joyful and triumphant *

* O come ye

* O come
ye *

* To Bethlehem *

Ha-ha.

That was amazing.

Yeah, yeah.
We are pretty good, huh?

But we are still missing
our fourth Turtle Dove.

Uh, Wes, what are you up to?

Well, we're headed to
the community center,

so there are a few hours
before I need to clock in.

Come join us.

Uh, I mean, you probably need me
to stay here.

- No.
- And, um--

Well, there's a ton of consults.

Stanfield:
No, no, no. See you tonight.

You go. Have fun.

Wow. Oh, wow.

Are you sure? I thought
I just heard something on the--

No? Okay.

- Look good on you.
- That color's great.

Okay. You win.

Yeah.

- Good night.
- Have fun.

- Second alto.
- Pardon?

* O come, let us adore him *

* O come
let us adore him *

* O come *

* Let us adore him *

* Christ the Lord *

* Lord *

Oh, yeah.

* We wish you
a Merry Christmas *

* We wish you a Merry
Christmas *

* We wish you
a Merry Christmas *

* And a Happy New Year *

Hey. Great stuff, guys.

I thought that was amazing.

Like, you're officially
a Turtle Dover now.

- Man, I miss doing that.
- Ooh.

Thank you for being
a part of it.

Of course.

Oh, hey. Excuse me for a second.

Betsy, what are you doing here?

Oh, I decided
there wouldn't be any harm

in seeing what this place
is all about.

I think that's a wonderful idea.

Uh, you know,
it's been a long time

since anybody worried about me,

and even longer
since I worried about myself.

So, thank you.

It's my pleasure.

Have fun, and Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas to you, too,
Dr. Williams.

Now, that is what a Philadelphia
Christmas is all about.

Helping the people.

Great job.

Yeah. I have to head back.

Yeah, yeah. I got to get back
to the station, anyway.

Be safe.

*

What about getting
the full report

on Friday?
You think you'll be okay with--

- Oh, excuse me.
- Hey, guys.

My mom made these for everyone.

That's awesome, man. Make sure
you give her our thanks.

Oh, you know I will, man.

So, I talked to my mom
about college.

Well, how did that go?

You were right.
She was happy for me.

But also said that
she'd miss me a lot.

How do you feel about that?

Good, and sad.

I don't know.
It was bittersweet.

- Yeah.
- I guess now it's my turn

to hold two feelings
at the same time, huh?

Huh.

Merry Christmas, Chief Anderson.

Thanks, Wes.

See you, Scott.

You know, the days can be long.

The calls can be dangerous.

You miss family events
and special occasions.

But it's the little moments,

and knowing that you make
a difference.

That's what keeps us going.

Ooh.
That smells amazing.

My family gathers every
Christmas Eve to make them,

and my abuela made sure that
I had enough tamales

for tonight to share
with this family.

Well, boys,
it ain't Christmas Eve

until we hit
the station potluck, huh?

This looks like
the best one yet.

Unit commander:
Engine 21, Medic 65.

Police report a structure fire
at the old Wanamaker Building.

- All right.
- All right. Let's go.

- Let's go.
- Let's get on it, guys.

- Let's set a perimeter.
- On it.

Hey.
Get him out of the hot zone!

I'm going in. Make sure

- there's no one left inside.
Copy you.

Julia: I've never been
this close to a fire.

The heat is almost unbearable.

Well, imagine being inside.

Anybody in here?

- Come out!
- Chief!

I'm going in after him.

No, Wes. Wait! The other unit
will be here soon.

There's no time!

Chief?

Chief? Chief, can you hear me?

Chief, come on.
We need you, man.

Wes:
Come on. Come on, buddy.

Easy. You can do it. One, two.

Man:
Please stay back.

Oh, thank goodness.

Wes:
All right. Help me.

Gurney. Here.
Set him down gently.

Get it off him.

Chief, chief!

It's Sanchez. Can you hear me?

Okay. I've got a pulse.

Bring me an oxygen now.

We'll get you both to
the hospital.

Just hang in there.

What did I tell you? Socks.

Oh, Dr. Williams?
This came for you.

It's a Christmas card
from that little boy

who hurt his leg the other day.

Oh. Oh.

That's so cute.

"Thanks, doctor. You did
a great job saving my leg,

and my Christmas, too."

Oh. So sweet.

Julia:
Firefighter injured!

Prepping trauma room one.

Firefighter injured
in a burning building.

Patient is alert but somnolent.

Vital signs stable.
En route, GCS 13, glucose 130.

Wes:
Hannah!

Wes? Are you okay?

- I think so.
- Get him into exam room three.

Clean him up
and look at his lungs.

It's the chief.

It's the chief.

Stanfield:
Chief?

Chief, can you hear me?

Let's get him on
a non-rebreather.

Pupils are equal and reactive.

Check his carbon monoxide.

Get me two large bore IVs,

and order a head CT
and a chest x-ray.

Be ready to intubate.

Chief?

Chief, can you hear us?

Can you hear me?

Deep breath.

Hey.

Doctors gave you the all-clear?

Yeah.

Ah. That's great news.

You know, you really
came through tonight, Julia.

You should be proud.

I just hope that it was enough.

You did everything you could.

That's all we can ever do.

- Wes?
- Hey.

Where's Daddy?

Sweetie, listen. Your daddy is
in the best hands possible.

Promise. Okay?

Can you keep that chin up
for me?

Come on.

* It's the holidays *

* Isn't it lovely? *

* Magic inspires hope *

* Wakes up the child
that's inside of me *

* Christmas morning *

* Snow is falling *

* Grab onto your loved ones,
pull 'em in a little closer *

* 'Tis the season *

* Open hearted *

* Lay guard down *

* Lookin' out for one another *

* Like we're sisters
and brothers *

* 'Tis the season *

He's going to be okay.

Merry Christmas, everyone.

Hannah:
He's had a concussion,

and he's got
a fractured wrist.

But other than that,

he just wants to see
the two of you.

Thank you.
Thank you so much, all of you.

Thank you.

Hey. Are you sure you're okay?

Yeah. I am now.

Thank you.

Yeah.

Man:
Dr. Williams?

How you feeling?

Relieved.

Yeah?
Well, your first life saved.

Not a bad Christmas present.

- For me or the chief?
- Both.

Wow. So, what do we do now?

Well, we reset the rig,

head back to the station

and finish our shift.

That's the job.

Who'd you forget to buy for?

Oh. Wes, if you can believe it.

Well, Anderson's
going to be okay,

so that's a pretty good gift
already.

It is.

But Wes will also love this.

-
Go, Birds.

Merry Christmas.

Yeah. Thanks.

You're supposed to say,
"Merry Christmas to you, too."

I could say the same thing
to you.

What's that supposed to mean?

- Seriously.
- What?

Danielle, I texted you "Merry
Christmas" last night, okay?

I can take a hint, but I think

we just have different ideas
of what it means to be polite.

Sanjay, I never got a text
from you last night. Look.

Okay. That's weird.

What number do you have?

Uh, 0137.

It's 0173.

Oh. Okay. I will--
I will fix it.

So, all this time,
you thought of me--

Yes, and some random person's
been getting texts from me

that are meant for you,
and they're ghosting me, too.

So, I'm going to tell them--

I got you a Christmas present.

Oh, you didn't have to.

Well--

- There.
- Thank you.

Tickets to
the New Year's Eve ball?

I mean, if you want to.

I understand if you--

I have been waiting
almost a year to do that.

Turns out Christmas kisses
are even better than New Years.

*

Hannah:
Merry Christmas.

Wes:
Hey.

Wow. It's nice to just sit here
with you.

I'm glad you finally got
a break.

Well, Christmas night
is always pretty quiet,

once we got past the rush from
kids riding their new bikes.

And dads trying out
their kids' skateboards.

Yeah.

So, how was your first Christmas
in Philly?

It's actually my second.

But I mean, they were separated
by a few decades.

But so far, so good.

Mm-hmm. And the homesickness?

I mean, I'm feeling it
a little bit today,

but more and more,

Philadelphia is starting to feel
like home,

specially at Christmas...

Thanks to you.

That's great to hear.

You know, I, um...

...never really let myself

care for anyone romantically.

No time, right?

Maybe.

Or maybe it's just an excuse
that I made

to not let anyone get close
to me.

I'm running out of excuses.

That's good...

...because I really like
cheesesteaks.

Whiz with.

Perfect.

Oh. How did that get there?

Do you think that was Emerson,
or--

Uh, could be.

Sneaky.

That's me.

Well, thanks, but, um,

I don't think we actually need
mistletoe.

*

Hmm.

Dispatcher: Dr. Williams
to exam room three.

Oh. Um, that's my cue.

But I'll call you
when I get home.

I can't wait.

*

Merry Christmas.

It sure is.

Commander:
Medic 65, you there?

Medic 65, en route.

*
