00:00It's my sister, previously on holiday, and she's going to be spending the holidays with
00:10us.
00:11Lucy!
00:12Sylvie!
00:13The gift drive has always been me and Max.
00:14Maybe it might be nice to have a little extra help this year.
00:16Didn't you need that window fixed at your house?
00:18If you two don't stop, that A rating on the door is going to turn into an R.
00:22That's amazing.
00:23That's amazing.
00:24It's very important you remember it at this point, do you understand?
00:32Hmm.
00:40Ah!
00:43Sylvie.
00:46You scared me.
00:47What were you going to do, hang the intruder's coat?
00:51Well, what are you doing?
00:53Why are you moving my lights?
00:55Annie and I always put those ones on the bookcase.
00:57Oh, yeah, but then it was all Hanukkah over there, and Christmas over here, and...
01:03Now watch.
01:08Christmas!
01:10Look, Sylvie, if you're going to stay here for the holidays, we're going to have to set
01:12some boundaries because we're not kids anymore.
01:14You can't just move my things around whenever you want, or hang all over people that I work
01:18with.
01:21Wait, you think I was hitting on Cole?
01:24No, I just thought you two looked awfully cozy, drinking wine by the fire.
01:31Did you forget I'm dating Kristoff?
01:34Body of a Greek god, more money than Zeus.
01:36I just don't want him to feel uncomfortable.
01:38Luce, I don't think he was uncomfortable.
01:41In fact, I think he'd like to be more comfortable here, hanging out with you.
01:48You would notice that, you know, if you weren't always in work mode, but I can help with that.
01:51No, I don't need your help with Cole.
01:53Or anything else.
01:55What I need is sleep.
01:58So please, just no more fixing.
02:02No more fixing.
02:06Goodnight.
02:08Goodnight.
02:18A Hindu Kush?
02:20In Afghanistan?
02:22What was that like?
02:24Uh, exciting and terrifying.
02:28So, Kristoff and I were ice trekking.
02:30Suddenly, we hear this huge noise.
02:35Like, like an 18-wheeler coming down the mountain.
02:41And your heart stops, because you know you're not alone.
02:46And your heart stops, because you know the only thing that loud is an avalanche.
02:52OMG.
02:53We jumped into a cave seconds before the snow would have crushed us.
02:57And then, we were just stuck in there.
02:59No idea if anyone would find us.
03:01What did you do?
03:03Well, thankfully, Kristoff had a backpack of caviar and vodka, so we just...
03:09That kept us busy until the Sherpas found us.
03:12We got really lucky.
03:14That's so romantic.
03:16How come you weren't spending Christmas with Kristoff?
03:20Well, actually, I told him that I didn't want to spend the holidays together again until we moved on to our next phase.
03:29You mean like getting married?
03:31Yeah, if I'm gonna have a family of my own, you know, before it's too late, I gotta get a move on.
03:35He's probably already shopping for a ring to surprise you.
03:38Yeah, maybe.
03:40Anyway, I told him that he needed an answer before New Year's, when we're supposed to go to Machu Picchu.
03:45Give him a chance to miss me over the holidays, and gives me a chance to spend it with you guys.
03:50So, what is going on with you and this Max guy?
03:56We've been friends forever, and I don't know.
03:59Suddenly, there's this new girl.
04:02Stephanie Gizondi.
04:04Oh.
04:06What's she got?
04:07Superior DNA.
04:09And a social media following.
04:12My mom already told me if he doesn't see how special I am, he's not worth my time.
04:17Your mom is right about that.
04:20But, um, sometimes it takes boys a little longer to notice what's right in front of them.
04:27So, what do you do?
04:30Give them a little nudge.
04:37So, how's it having your sister home for the holidays?
04:40Well, she's been home for one day, and she's already decided that my decorations need a makeover.
04:45Classic trade-off, holidays and family.
04:48With them, there's always drama.
04:50But without them, it's kind of empty.
04:52I'm afraid we have a problem.
04:53The hallway is six inches too narrow.
04:55How is that a health violation?
04:57Can't fit a stretcher in there if somebody collapses.
05:01What if we promise not to kill anyone with our scones?
05:05You have until the end of the year to widen it, or you're looking at a shutdown.
05:09How is that possible? Nobody's working over the holidays.
05:11Then I'll make the rules, ma'am.
05:15Are those oatmeal sandies?
05:16Yes, gluten-free.
05:18No thanks. If I'm going to have a cookie, I'd rather enjoy it.
05:26What are we going to do?
05:28We have to call Cole, obviously.
05:30I just had him fix the window at the house.
05:32I don't want to seem needy.
05:34Except this time you actually do need him.
05:36Why is everything in here the color of regurgitated oatmeal?
05:40Mom likes organic fibers.
05:42No, I don't know.
05:44But, oh.
05:46What I would give for even a print.
05:52What's this?
05:54What's what?
05:56Joybox?
06:03All of Joy's favorite things.
06:06At least he kept them after all.
06:09What's this?
06:11I don't know.
06:13I don't know.
06:15I don't know.
06:17I don't know.
06:19I don't know.
06:20I don't know.
06:22I don't know.
06:24I don't know.
06:26Whoa.
06:28Everything in here is so...
06:30Bold.
06:32You know, if you want someone, like, say your friend Max, to notice,
06:38you are going to have to tap into your wood's wild side.
06:42Oh really?
06:44Oh.
06:46This is so groovy.
06:49Okay, this is you. This is it.
06:52You think I could pull this off?
06:54Absolutely.
06:56With some chandelier earrings.
06:58There's got to be some in here.
07:00Feel around.
07:02Is that a menorah?
07:04Yes.
07:06It's made up of all of Joy's favorite things.
07:10Your mom and I worked in secret for days to surprise her.
07:15She loved it.
07:17It's so cool.
07:19Our Hanukkah celebrations were epic.
07:21Joy loved a party.
07:23She was all about the light that wouldn't go out.
07:26So we would sing and dance and just jam all night.
07:30We just watched holiday movies all night.
07:33Oh.
07:36Hold on.
07:38This is the recipe for Joy Bars.
07:41The most delicious treat you will ever have.
07:46It's chocolate and caramel and nuts and coconut and rice krispies.
07:51She would make them every holiday and we just could not stop eating them.
07:55Your mom especially.
07:57They sound amazing.
07:59Like the opposite of what mom would bake.
08:01I think that we are going to get a little more joy in this house.
08:09Cole's on his way to give us an estimate.
08:11Great.
08:13But I still don't know where we're going to get the money.
08:15Business always picks up during the holiday rush.
08:18Would it be possible to buy half a spinach brownie to test it?
08:22I may have celiacs.
08:24Sure.
08:27Good morning.
08:29I didn't know you were stopping by.
08:31On your way to a holiday party at the Kardashians?
08:34Oh, not likely.
08:36It's Dolce's last season.
08:38And since when do I need a reservation here?
08:40I'm a partner in this bakery, remember?
08:42Uh, hi.
08:44You must be Janet.
08:46Reminder, you are a micro-investor, thus a silent partner.
08:53I'm not saying anything.
09:01The Joy Bars recipe.
09:03You've got to sell them at the bakery.
09:05Right?
09:07Doesn't exactly fit in with the Woods Bakery brand.
09:09All the bakeries have their specialties, okay?
09:11Magnolia has the cupcake.
09:12McDonald's has a McFlurry.
09:14And Woods Bakery could have Joy Bars.
09:18Plus, it's our holiday tradition.
09:20And it would really boost holiday sales.
09:23If you made the place more festive.
09:26It's festive?
09:28Yeah, yeah, it's festive.
09:30Like a holding cell is festive.
09:32Tell us what you really think.
09:34I know I'm a silent partner, but I should have some input, right?
09:37Hey.
09:39Cole, hi.
09:41I tried as fast as I could.
09:43It sounded like the bakery was about to get hit by an asteroid or something.
09:45What's going on?
09:47No helping.
09:49You promised.
09:51Come on, Cole, I'll show you.
09:53Hi, Janet.
09:55Mm-hmm.
09:57Bill.
09:59Cole's going to give us an estimate to fix a health code violation.
10:02But it's an exercise in futility,
10:04because we don't have any money for a renovation.
10:06Or anything, really.
10:08Happy New Year.
10:11And she said she didn't need my help.
10:16Ugh.
10:25Hey, everyone.
10:27Hey, Annie.
10:29Hold up.
10:31Is that vintage?
10:33Yeah, it is.
10:35Did you get it on Depop?
10:37It was my Nana's.
10:39That's so fire.
10:41Yeah.
10:43She was.
10:47So, the only real problem is the hallway,
10:49but I don't want to cut into the kitchen.
10:51Right.
10:53Well, look.
10:55The...
10:57Why does she act like he's got a force field around him?
10:59It's been going on this way for months.
11:01They circle each other like praying mantises,
11:03but as soon as they get close,
11:05one of them spooks.
11:06Drop your napkin.
11:08Oh, for God's sakes.
11:10Lean in.
11:12Make physical contact.
11:14Girl, I'd sell for eye contact.
11:16It's too painful to watch.
11:20So, how are things going over here?
11:23Cole?
11:25You're giving my sister a good deal.
11:27I'm trying.
11:29Look, I'm happy to work for free.
11:31Please, you don't have to.
11:33No, no, let the man talk.
11:35But for this job, I'm going to need an assistant.
11:37Out of the materials to do with the code and...
11:39Don't worry about it, really.
11:41I mean, you've done so much for me already.
11:43I could never ask you...
11:45Oh, but I could ask you to barter.
11:48Lucy can pay you in favors.
11:50Favors?
11:52Flavors.
11:54We could name a cupcake after Cole.
11:56Oh.
11:58Yeah, the activated charcoal.
12:00A lump-shaped cupcake.
12:02It's the perfect stocking stuffer
12:04for all the naughty customers.
12:06And we could put your logo
12:08and your contact information on the napkin.
12:10All the revenue goes to paying down your fees.
12:12You know, it's free marketing.
12:14Boom.
12:16You'll have to excuse my sister.
12:18Her enthusiasm can be a little pressure-y.
12:20Fortunately, I can take the heat.
12:24Deal.
12:26If it's okay with you.
12:28Of course it's okay with her.
12:30In fact, I was thinking that to help save costs,
12:32Lucy could be your assistant.
12:34And then I could, you know, manage the bakery.
12:36Right? Win-win-win?
12:41Even better.
12:43All right.
12:45Well, look, I'll grab what we need
12:47and then we can get started.
12:49Partner.
12:51I got you. Thanks.
12:57You're welcome.
12:59Um...
13:00Thanks.
13:11Bye, guys. Gotta go.
13:17Hey, you're home.
13:19Hey. How was your day?
13:21And, um...
13:23What is this outfit?
13:25Aunt Sylvie and I found it in the Joybox.
13:27It has so much cool stuff in it.
13:29Mom, why didn't I know about it?
13:31Because it's from the past.
13:33I was just...
13:35I was preserving a memory.
13:38None of that stuff was ever meant to be worn again.
13:40Why not?
13:42She was my Nana
13:44and I hardly know anything about her.
13:46But Sylvie told me
13:48that she was brave
13:50and fun
13:52and fascinating.
13:54Well, your aunt has selective amnesia.
13:56Whatever.
13:58My friends liked my shirt dress
14:00and so do I.
14:02Aunt Sylvie says I have Joy's spirit.
14:04Well, Aunt Sylvie also said
14:06that was a shirt dress.
14:08And it is just a shirt.
14:13I really wish I could help you
14:15but we're just way too busy.
14:17Two dozen almond butter cookies
14:19doesn't meet our $500 holiday minimum.
14:21What? Give me that phone.
14:23Sylvie!
14:24I'm sorry.
14:26I didn't know you had more
14:28than you were wanting to spend
14:30but woods goods freeze beautifully.
14:32No, no, no.
14:33Give it to me.
14:34Great!
14:35Sylvie!
14:36Yeah, I'll put you down.
14:37Thanks.
14:39Looked another one?
14:41What do you think you're doing?
14:43Basic supply and demand.
14:45People want treats they can't have.
14:47No, that was...
14:48that's just manipulative.
14:50No, that's literally the definition of sales.
14:52Manipulating?
14:54Yeah, you're propping Joy up
14:56like she's some kind of role model.
14:58No.
14:59No, I'm helping Annie
15:01to explore her individuality.
15:03Express yourself, to quote Madonna.
15:05Another great role model.
15:09Doesn't she look happy?
15:12Yeah, I mean...
15:14she does seem happy.
15:17If you let me in
15:19I could help with the bakery too.
15:21It might be nice to have an upgrade.
15:24I'm just saying.
15:26What would you even do?
15:28Just a small holiday makeover.
15:30You know, look, it needs a little...
15:32zhuzhing.
15:34While you and Cole are renovating the back
15:36Janet and I'll spruce up the front.
15:39Okay, fine.
15:40As long as it's just a little sprucing.
15:44Just a little.
15:46Okay, we'll just take it
15:48right to that wall.
15:58Thanks.
16:03Yeah, let's do this.
16:04Yeah, let's do this.
16:34I hardly recognize it.
16:52See how we gift wrapped the tables like presents?
16:54Yes!
16:55And the bows on the back of the chairs?
16:57That was Annie's idea.

31:12butterscotch fudge sugar at woods bakery since when we got a holiday exemption well I didn't
31:22it seems a shame for them to go to waste
31:35yeah
31:42lucy was just starting to let me in you know
31:44I just wanted to prove I could be a good sister
32:01I've got it what I've got it we're preaching joy bars to the wrong choir
32:07woods customers are way too health-focused to appreciate a joy bar we gotta stop trying to
32:13convert existing customers and and take joy bars out to the rest of the world
32:19three magical joy bars a gift from the enchanted woods bakery tired of cocoa try a joy bar
32:26it is 100 pure holiday decadence in your mouth joy bars to the world
32:33hey
32:44you guys sold all the joy bars that's amazing how'd you do it
32:48um we found the right price point yeah we just gave them away
32:57you did what
32:57I mean okay reframe we did amazing marketing outreach no people were
33:06snatching them up major brand building you should have seen us in action so good
33:15lucky you kiddo it's a two cocoa night
33:18yeah I'm gonna need a top-up too
33:26I can't believe you what you've been here for three days and you've managed to turn the bakery's
33:34biggest day of the year into our worst day ever and you practically destroyed annie's friendship
33:40with max and suddenly my relationship with the only guy who's ever fixed anything in my life
33:45is broken
33:50I'm done
33:55Luz you know I didn't mean to yeah of course not you never do you're just careless
34:03right um
34:08you know if that's how you really feel then uh
34:10you know maybe I should just go
34:16well maybe that's for the best
34:18well maybe that's for the best
34:48so
34:58look obviously it is an ideal timing for you to leave with this crazy storm
35:02so if you want to wait until the morning that's storms don't face me
35:10besides I'd rather leave now than stay where I'm not wanted
35:13seriously you're mad at me
35:20no no lucy who could ever be mad at you you're perfect and I can't get anything right
35:27you made that clear I was angry because you always make everything about yourself
35:34me you're the one still clinging to your anger at mom you still can't forgive her for leaving us
35:40even though she died in an accident it was an accident that would never have happened if we
35:45had just been enough for her joy needed more than motherhood but that doesn't mean she didn't love us
35:50with her whole heart yeah not enough to stay not enough to think about what we needed
35:57not enough to think about what I would have to sacrifice if anything happened to her
36:04sylvie someone had to take care of you well I never asked you to do that I didn't have a choice
36:10except after mom died you left too I mean sure we were in the same house but I was alone
36:18and now you have this whole life and and you and annie are a family
36:24didn't you ever think that maybe I wanted those things too maybe you should go find it
36:29it you know what um maybe it is me maybe I don't know how to be in a family but
36:43that's okay you know as far as I can tell that's for the best because
36:48it seems like families just come with a whole lot of hurt
36:51popcorn is ready for our annual holiday movie binge I've got all the toppings kettle cool ranch
37:01let the coziness begin
37:07what do you want to start with one of your faves elf or it's a wonderful little
37:13what do you want to start with one of your faves elf or it's a wonderful life

38:39let's put this menorah out every year like that
38:49you should at least try one
38:58so
39:07why did you keep nana joy's memories in a box
39:15I know it probably sounds to you like I didn't love her that's not true
39:20she was my whole world I was so scared that if I acted like her
39:29I might mess up and hurt you the way she hurt me
39:37so I wanted to be a different kind of mom
39:42maybe not anyone's idol but at least always there
39:50you're the best mom definitely idol worthy
40:00oh I wish joy could have met you she would have been just blown away that's what aunt sylvie said
40:13kiddo I know you probably wish aunt sylvie was still here but
40:17I bet she's happier back on that yacht with christophe she's not back with christophe
40:25he's in mashup issue
40:28with her
40:32aunt sylvie told him she wanted to take their relationship to the next phase
40:37like kids and stuff she was waiting to hear his answer so I guess this was it
40:47she's got nowhere to go
40:58what is it mom
