Kim and Theo meet in the midst of Black Friday shopping madness but there’s a definite spark between them. When a power outage causes some panic at a store, the couple gets separated. With Christmas coming, there should be plenty of distractions but neither Kim nor Theo can forget the other. Both yearn to find each other but how with so little information to go on? It’ll take a little Christmas magic and destiny to bring them back together.

00:00:00And now...
00:00:26Hot chocolate?
00:00:28Hot chocolate?
00:00:29Hot chocolate?
00:00:31Hot chocolate?
00:00:33It's cold out.
00:00:35See?
00:00:36One for me.
00:00:37It's cold enough to be tempting.
00:00:38Yeah, it is.
00:00:39I can't tell if it's really late or really early right now either.
00:00:44Hot chocolate?
00:00:46I'll take a cup.
00:00:47$2.50.
00:00:53Here you go. I got some quarters in here somewhere.
00:00:56I accept tips if you want to round up.
00:01:00Here, I got you covered.
00:01:02I'll take a cup too.
00:01:04Thanks.
00:01:08Yeah, it's just a couple of quarters.
00:01:10That's still appreciated.
00:01:12Interesting wallet choice.
00:01:15It makes me look like a little kid, doesn't it?
00:01:18I mean, who doesn't love dinosaurs?
00:01:20You'd be surprised, but they're my favorite.
00:01:24Hot chocolate?
00:01:26So you do this every year, the Black Friday shopping?
00:01:29Oh, no. No, no, no.
00:01:31If I had it my way, I'd still be in my PJs.
00:01:34So what's on your list to bring you out in the cold?
00:01:37Pretty much everything my niece wants.
00:01:40My sister-in-law all but guilted me into coming.
00:01:43Did she dangle the favorite aunt title?
00:01:46No, I'm the only aunt, so...
00:01:48So, no need.
00:01:50What about you?
00:01:51What brought you out here?
00:01:54Well, my brother and his wife are watching my daughter
00:01:58so I can shop without her.
00:02:00Oh, that's nice of them.
00:02:01Yeah, her mom and I split up years ago,
00:02:03so the extra help is always appreciated.
00:02:06Well, make sure you do a good job of hiding the presents,
00:02:09otherwise it'll all be for nothing.
00:02:11Well, she has yet to find where I stash her gifts.
00:02:15So, have you started your Christmas shopping at all?
00:02:18Uh, gym shorts for my brother, does that count?
00:02:21Not really.
00:02:23Well, in that case, I still have a lot to get.
00:02:26Well, make sure you prioritize what you pick up first,
00:02:29you know, based on what's most likely to sell out.
00:02:32At least that's what my sister-in-law always tells me.
00:02:36Yeah, I will.
00:02:38Ladies and gentlemen, we'll be opening the store momentarily.
00:02:41Please be patient and enter the store in a nice, orderly fashion.
00:02:46Oh, they're opening up early.
00:02:48Looks like it.
00:02:49Well, good luck shopping.
00:02:53Thanks, you too.
00:03:19Merry Christmas.
00:03:50Oh, excuse me, do you know where I can...
00:03:52Sorry, all the stock we have is out here.
00:03:58Oh, hey, where did you find those?
00:04:00This one's mine.
00:04:02Okay.
00:04:10There you go, happy holidays.
00:04:13Next.
00:04:32You were right, sold out.
00:04:34No, what were you looking for?
00:04:36It's this doll thing on my daughter's list.
00:04:39Should have gone for that first.
00:04:41I'm sorry.
00:04:43Hang on a second.
00:04:46Was this it?
00:04:47Yes.
00:04:48These were pretty popular this year.
00:04:50I know.
00:04:52Here.
00:04:54Oh, no, no, no, that's yours, or for your niece.
00:04:56I have a really long list of other gifts for her, so don't worry.
00:05:00I couldn't...
00:05:01Take it, really.
00:05:04Are you sure?
00:05:06Yes.
00:05:07Yes.
00:05:10How much do I owe you?
00:05:11Ah, don't worry about it.
00:05:12I can't not worry about it. First the hot chocolate, now this?
00:05:15It's no big deal.
00:05:19Can I at least buy you breakfast?
00:05:22There's a diner nearby that's open 24-7.
00:05:26Alright.
00:05:28I'm Theo.
00:05:30Kim.
00:05:33So my roommate would set up this tent over her bed and would like go in there and zip it up.
00:05:38Like, all the time.
00:05:40What was her reason? Germophobia? Agoraphobia?
00:05:43Well, that's what I thought at first, but no.
00:05:45No?
00:05:46Shyness, turns out.
00:05:48Really?
00:05:52You bet.
00:05:54Let me know if you need anything else.
00:06:01Yeah, I guess sharing a room in college scared her.
00:06:04But the crazy thing was, is I never knew if she was in there or not.
00:06:09There was this one night, it was getting late, and I was worried that she wasn't back yet.
00:06:15And then all of a sudden, she pops out of the tent.
00:06:19Scared you to death?
00:06:20Nearly.
00:06:21But you want to know the funniest part?
00:06:23Oh, don't keep me hanging.
00:06:24She is my sister-in-law now.
00:06:26No.
00:06:27My brother came by to visit, and they totally hit it off.
00:06:30She came out of her tent, and then out of her shell.
00:06:34Surprisingly, she's the most outgoing person now.
00:06:36But the good news, she put away the tent when they got engaged.
00:06:39So, no king-sized bed tent on their wedding registry.
00:06:43No, thankfully.
00:06:46So, is she the one who guilted you into coming out today?
00:06:48The very one.
00:06:50She's probably buying out a few other stores across town.
00:06:53Shopping is very much part of Thanksgiving weekend to her.
00:06:57How about you? What would you prefer to be doing today?
00:07:00Uh, decorating my own Christmas tree.
00:07:03Maybe grading a few papers, just to stay ahead of things.
00:07:06Teacher?
00:07:08Yeah.
00:07:09But other than that, I'd be spending time at my parents' place.
00:07:12Nothing exciting, really.
00:07:15Well, I will be spending most of my weekend building the best gingerbread house possible.
00:07:22Oh, your hobby or your daughter's?
00:07:25Both.
00:07:26Last year we entered this contest at the City Art Museum,
00:07:29and it was such a hit that she's already sketching what she wants to do this year.
00:07:35Oh, well that sounds...
00:07:37Messy.
00:07:38I was going to say fun.
00:07:40That too.
00:07:41Yeah, I'm sure she'll be ready to jump into it as soon as we get home.
00:07:45But I'm really hoping I can convince her to watch a movie, so I can catch up on some sleep.
00:07:51Good strategy.
00:07:53Yeah.
00:07:54So, what's your daughter like?
00:07:58Ah, she's nine years old.
00:08:01Smart, and she knows it.
00:08:04Creative, mischievous in a fun sort of way.
00:08:09She makes me laugh. A lot.
00:08:13She's always curious.
00:08:15Well, that's good.
00:08:16Depends. She has a tendency to wander off.
00:08:20Yeah, I've had a few heart-stopping moments losing her in stores.
00:08:23Shh.
00:08:27Thanks for breakfast.
00:08:28You're welcome.
00:08:29So what else do you have on your list? Ornaments.
00:08:32Oh, well I did break one off my mother's tree last year.
00:08:36Shameful.
00:08:37I was helping to put everything away, and I don't think she really noticed.
00:08:42Maybe you should get her a replacement?
00:08:44Well, it was a dog. Ceramic one, I think.
00:08:47What type of dog?
00:08:48I have no idea, but this one looks close enough.
00:08:52Aww.
00:08:54Hey, look. This one's perfect for you.
00:08:57I actually have that one already.
00:08:59You would.
00:09:00But good choice. Oh, hang on.
00:09:02I will get it for my niece, so she will think of her aunt each year.
00:09:06Nice.
00:09:07And for you, let's see, we should get something...
00:09:13What about this one?
00:09:14The gingerbread houses we make aren't that fancy.
00:09:18Ah, but it's perfect.
00:09:19Oh, you don't have to buy it.
00:09:20No, no, I want to. It's just what my tree needs.
00:09:50Aww.
00:10:09That's cute.
00:10:10Good? Okay.
00:10:11I mean, handsome.
00:10:16Oh, that's cute.
00:10:18No.
00:10:24Okay, I think I'm ready to get out of the cold.
00:10:26Me too. How about this one?
00:10:29Thanks.
00:10:33There's something kind of disheartening about all of this, isn't there?
00:10:37How do you mean?
00:10:38I mean, go get my wish list from the store.
00:10:41There's no magic or thought or sincerity.
00:10:45I see your point.
00:10:48I'm being somewhat of a grinch, aren't I?
00:10:50No, I think Christmas can feel like that.
00:10:54But?
00:10:56I guess it makes you search for ways to add the magic back in.
00:11:02But when you do that, how?
00:11:04Like traditions, maybe. Or just spending time together.
00:11:09I guess my mom does insist we go see A Christmas Carol, the play.
00:11:14We go every year the weekend before Christmas.
00:11:16See? Good example. Oh, do you hate it?
00:11:19No, I suppose it gets me excited for the holidays.
00:11:23But my favorite is Christmas Eve.
00:11:26We go to this Christmas-themed village every year for the Santa send-off.
00:11:30Have you been?
00:11:31No.
00:11:32You should. It's this quaint village with all these different buildings and Christmas activities and food.
00:11:38And of course Santa leaves and everyone cheers and waves.
00:11:42My niece loves it. It's, well, it's magical.
00:11:48Wow, that sounds amazing.
00:11:53So what else do you do besides gingerbread creations?
00:11:56We have some epic campouts under the Christmas tree.
00:12:00Oh.
00:12:01Christmas stories at bedtime.
00:12:03We do this 12 days of Christmas thing where you send like a gift or a treat to somebody new each day.
00:12:09And we serve meals at the shelter.
00:12:11Oh, that's nice.
00:12:13Oh, and sledding, of course.
00:12:16So what do you do if there's not enough snow?
00:12:19Ice blocking.
00:12:21What?
00:12:22Yeah, it's this thing I learned in college.
00:12:24You buy an ice block from the grocery store, put a blanket on it to sit on, and then...
00:12:31I have never heard of that before.
00:12:33You should try it.
00:12:35I'm sure your daughter loves it. Loves all of it.
00:12:38It sounds... it sounds perfect.
00:12:45I'm sorry.
00:12:50Oh, I just have one more thing on my list.
00:12:53Yeah, I mean, great.
00:12:55I'll grab it real quick?
00:12:57Uh-huh.
00:12:59Hey.
00:13:03Okay, Theo, this is the part where you ask her out.
00:13:08Not a big deal, just...
00:13:10Hey.
00:13:11Hey.
00:13:12Hey.
00:13:13Hey, just...
00:13:15Would you want to go grab lunch?
00:13:21In six more hours?
00:13:24Okay.
00:13:25Hey, would you want to come check out my gingerbread house?
00:13:31That sounds really sketchy.
00:13:45Kim?
00:13:56Theo?
00:14:01Theo?
00:14:03Kate, there's no need to panic.
00:14:05Please, be careful as you're moving around.
00:14:08I'm sure that the power's going to be back on soon.
00:14:25Okay.
00:14:27Okay.
00:14:50Excuse me, sorry.
00:14:51Our registers are down, so we can't process any sales.
00:14:54Thank you for understanding.
00:14:55Oh, okay.
00:15:03Theo?
00:15:24Hey.
00:15:50Hey, can someone pick up all these ads, please?
00:15:53Will, honey, there's whipped cream in the fridge, too.
00:15:55Thanksgiving leftovers, my favorite.
00:15:58Are you all hungry?
00:15:59Mom, we haven't even fully digested Thanksgiving yet.
00:16:03Yeah, but all that shopping you did built an appetite.
00:16:06Hey, is Mia around?
00:16:07Yes.
00:16:08Close your eyes, I have tons of presents for you.
00:16:12Where are they?
00:16:13They are in my car, I just wanted to get you excited.
00:16:16We beat you home.
00:16:18Oh, I did take a little longer.
00:16:20Did you get everything you circled in the ads?
00:16:22You included every toy for Mia, and a vacuum she marked.
00:16:25I don't think she knew what it was, but it was pink.
00:16:27It wasn't so long ago you were pouring over all those ads, too, Glenn.
00:16:30That was Kim, actually.
00:16:32You had a colored marker of your own, so that what you wanted didn't get mixed up with my choices.
00:16:36I was 13.
00:16:38Did you use a green marker this year? Because I see a lot of circles here.
00:16:41Enough of that, you two.
00:16:43Fine.
00:16:44Oh, leftover pie.
00:16:47It's a pity we didn't have a larger party this year.
00:16:50Have you heard from Zach at all?
00:16:52Not since we broke up, and that works for me.
00:16:55Besides, aren't I special enough alone?
00:16:57Of course.
00:16:58No.
00:16:59Babe, it's not really Kim's fault he didn't want a future together.
00:17:02Of course not.
00:17:04I don't know. He was a pretty special guy, though.
00:17:21Hello?
00:17:23Shh.
00:17:25Where's Hunter and Clarissa?
00:17:27Sleeping.
00:17:29Oh. Great babysitting.
00:17:32Did you get me lots of presents?
00:17:35None whatsoever.
00:17:37Who's there? Theo?
00:17:39Yeah.
00:17:40Morning.
00:17:41Yeah, it is.
00:17:43Ashley, are you hungry?
00:17:45I think Clarissa's gonna be hungry.
00:17:47Ashley, are you hungry?
00:17:49I think Clarissa's gonna make pancakes. Clarissa?
00:17:51Oh, no, no, don't bother. You're okay, right, Ashley?
00:17:53Mm-hmm.
00:17:54There's no trouble.
00:17:55I'm sure you're hungry.
00:17:57Besides, Clarissa's sister's coming by for breakfast.
00:18:01Sharon.
00:18:02Mm-hmm.
00:18:04Is Clarissa still trying to set me up with her?
00:18:06Oh, what's so bad about that?
00:18:08Would you appreciate it if our situations were reversed?
00:18:11Eh.
00:18:12Actually, I kind of met someone last night.
00:18:16Really? That's great. When are you gonna see her again?
00:18:19Uh, I didn't get her number.
00:18:22Theo, come on.
00:18:24Hey, Theo.
00:18:25Hey, Clarissa. How is Ashley for you?
00:18:27An angel, of course.
00:18:29Anytime you need us to babysit, we're here.
00:18:32Really, though, we mean that.
00:18:34Could be good practice for us.
00:18:37And are you?
00:18:38We're expecting.
00:18:40Oh, congratulations.
00:18:42Thanks.
00:18:43Oh, you're gonna have a cousin, Ashley.
00:18:45Is it a girl?
00:18:46Uh, we don't know yet.
00:18:48Oh, that's Sharon.
00:18:52Just go with her.
00:18:53Girls love.
00:18:54Nothing.
00:18:56If it's a girl, you have to name her Ashlyn.
00:18:58Ashlyn and Ashley?
00:19:00I'm sure Grandma wouldn't find that confusing at all.
00:19:02Oh, no.
00:19:05Morning.
00:19:06You are just in time.
00:19:07He's here?
00:19:08Mm-hmm.
00:19:09How do I look?
00:19:10Great. Come help me make pancakes.
00:19:11I always burn them.
00:19:12Do the flipper thing and look like you know what you're doing, and I'll handle the rest.
00:19:15Good morning.
00:19:16Hey.
00:19:17Hey, Sharon.
00:19:18Hi, Theo.
00:19:19Okay, time to put that away.
00:19:20But I have it in my time limit.
00:19:22Then save some for later today, then. Come on.
00:19:24Oh, Sharon, there's some berries in the fridge.
00:19:27How was Thanksgiving for you all?
00:19:29Oh, it was great. We had a feast with my mom.
00:19:32How is she doing?
00:19:33Oh, good. Fine. You know, same as always.
00:19:36Wait, did you tell Mom about the baby?
00:19:38I did, yeah. Sorry, you're the last to know.
00:19:40Well, better me than her.
00:19:42How excited was she? Very.
00:19:45Good. So, Theo, do we get you for Christmas this year?
00:19:49I mean, you and Ashley with our side of the family?
00:19:52Ah, you know, my mom would be all, uh, on site.
00:19:55Actually, I, uh, invited Mom to come along, so.
00:19:58Great. We'll all be together, then.
00:20:01Sounds like it.
00:20:11Come in.
00:20:14You're awake.
00:20:16Barely.
00:20:17What is all that?
00:20:18Presents for Mia and Glenn and your parents.
00:20:20Is it okay if I stash them here?
00:20:22Sure, but do you really need to worry about Glenn and my parents snooping?
00:20:25Okay, first of all, your brother has gotten worse.
00:20:28Even Mia has more self-restraint.
00:20:30And second of all, we can have a huge gift-wrapping party before Christmas.
00:20:33You mean an all-nighter with eggnog and gift wrap?
00:20:35That's exactly what I mean.
00:20:37What are you doing?
00:20:38I'm grading papers on the Cretaceous period.
00:20:40Which one is that?
00:20:41The one after Jurassic.
00:20:43You could just wait till Monday.
00:20:45Too much to do.
00:20:47Hey, did you end up getting that doll that Mia wanted?
00:20:49I-
00:20:50No peeking. And yes, I actually gave it away.
00:20:55Kim, she really wanted that doll.
00:20:58I can get Mia another gift on her list.
00:21:00Besides, I met someone who desperately wanted one for his daughter,
00:21:03and I felt like it was the right thing to do.
00:21:05Okay, Black Friday shoppers are the worst.
00:21:07They're so manipulative.
00:21:08You played right into his scheme.
00:21:10There was no scheme. He was nice.
00:21:13And he didn't even ask. I offered.
00:21:16Who is this nice man?
00:21:18Theo.
00:21:20Theo who?
00:21:22Just Theo.
00:21:29Is it holding?
00:21:30Yeah, if I don't move.
00:21:32Yeah, if I don't move.
00:21:34Okay, I think another minute or so.
00:21:36I want to make it like a fairy house.
00:21:39Okay, so like Tinkerbell?
00:21:41No, like Mrs. Pullman's garden.
00:21:44All right, so garden gnomes and fairies.
00:21:47Yeah.
00:21:49All right, I will get started on an awesome toadstool day.
00:21:53Oh, and a picnic bench.
00:21:55Right away.
00:21:57Oh, actually, I got us a little something.
00:21:59What?
00:22:02Come on.
00:22:06Ta-da! A new ornament for our tree.
00:22:08I love it.
00:22:10Can I hold it?
00:22:11Yeah.
00:22:13Oh, easy.
00:22:15That's not quite dry.
00:22:17I got it. I got it.
00:22:19Okay, good.
00:22:32Okay.
00:22:45Okay, that is it for today, but fair warning,
00:22:48your in-depth papers on sauropods are due in a week.
00:22:51I appreciate any early papers turned in.
00:22:53Not that it'll happen, but just throwing it out there.
00:22:57All right, that's it. Thank you.
00:22:59Thank you, Dr. Finnick.
00:23:00You're welcome.
00:23:04See you tomorrow.
00:23:15I don't know why, but I've always loved you in the lab coat.
00:23:20Zach.
00:23:22How are you?
00:23:24I'm good.
00:23:26What are you doing here?
00:23:28I wanted to see you.
00:23:30Is that really fair?
00:23:32You broke up with me months ago, and I...
00:23:35I regret it.
00:23:37What?
00:23:42I know what I said a few months ago, but I was wrong.
00:23:45You said you didn't see our relationship going anywhere.
00:23:48I was scared.
00:23:50These past few months apart, I...
00:23:52I missed you.
00:23:55Oh, hang on. Not on the skeletons, please.
00:23:58Really? I thought it'd look kind of cool.
00:24:01Yes, but they're, you know, kind of fragile.
00:24:07All right, how about this?
00:24:09Could I take you out again? You know, start over?
00:24:11We can't just erase the past, Zach.
00:24:13Well, then let's pick back up where we left off.
00:24:16I can't do that either.
00:24:18Hey, no, definitely not there.
00:24:21Kim, please, just give me another chance.
00:24:23I have to get back to work.
00:24:25At least have dinner with me.
00:24:28Fine.
00:24:30Kim, I'll give you a call, yeah?
00:24:32Yeah.
00:24:34Oh, how about we hang these on the railing?
00:24:38You know what? These would look awesome.
00:24:41The stegosaurus upstairs.
00:24:43Especially not there.
00:24:45Wow. I'll go take it down.
00:24:54Ugh.
00:24:56I don't like this this year.
00:24:58I've put it up and I've taken it down three times.
00:25:00It's just, it's not working.
00:25:02So don't use it.
00:25:04You have to do a garland.
00:25:06Okay, let's buy some new garland then.
00:25:08Nope, I am determined to make do.
00:25:11Help me out here.
00:25:13I thought I was done decorating when I left work.
00:25:15Uh, let me try something.
00:25:18How was work today?
00:25:20Fine, I guess.
00:25:22Hi.
00:25:23Oh.
00:25:24Mom, do not get your hopes up.
00:25:26Sorry?
00:25:27So what'd he want?
00:25:29He wanted to, I don't know, start things up again, I guess.
00:25:33What'd you say?
00:25:35I think I agreed to go on a date with him.
00:25:37That's wonderful.
00:25:38But that's so sudden of him.
00:25:40I mean, I'm not surprised at all because you're amazing.
00:25:43But how do you feel about it?
00:25:45I'm not excited.
00:25:47I feel more nervous.
00:25:49Because he hurt you before.
00:25:51Yeah.
00:25:52And?
00:25:54There's someone else.
00:25:56There is?
00:25:58Kind of.
00:25:59I met this guy the other night shopping.
00:26:02Oh, the doll guy.
00:26:03Ew.
00:26:04He likes dolls?
00:26:06What?
00:26:07No.
00:26:08He was shopping for his daughter.
00:26:11I think there was something between us, and I can't stop wondering about it.
00:26:16It's probably just the holiday spirit.
00:26:19Mom, are you saying that because you think Zach is so wonderful?
00:26:22He is wonderful.
00:26:23Although I do think I need to give him a stern talking to about dumping you.
00:26:26Ugh, I hate that term.
00:26:28But Kim, you know Zach.
00:26:30Whereas with Mr. Doll Guy.
00:26:31Theo.
00:26:32You only had a brief time with him, so you're probably remembering things in a rose-colored way.
00:26:36Yeah, I guess.
00:26:40But he was...
00:26:43When we talked, everything was so easy.
00:26:47Every word he said, I drank it up.
00:26:52He made my heart melt, you know?
00:26:56Does that make sense?
00:26:58So why don't you call him?
00:27:00We got separated.
00:27:01I lost him, and I don't have his number.
00:27:04I don't even know his last name.
00:27:08You're going to tell me to forget him, aren't you?
00:27:13No.
00:27:16Do you want to see him again?
00:27:20Then find him.
00:27:22I would love that.
00:27:24But how?
00:27:26Well, you said you hung on his every word, right?
00:27:29What do you say?
00:27:41Don't drop it.
00:27:43I won't.
00:27:52We've had so many entries this year.
00:27:54I'm just amazed at everyone's creativity.
00:27:56No kidding.
00:27:58It's amazing.
00:27:59I got it.
00:28:00I got it.
00:28:01Wow.
00:28:02This is beautiful.
00:28:04I can tell you worked hard on it.
00:28:07My dad helps.
00:28:08Good.
00:28:09Well, this will be on display with all the other houses till New Year's.
00:28:12And the contest?
00:28:14The winners will be contacted December 22nd.
00:28:17Did you fill out the form so we could reach you?
00:28:20Here it is.
00:28:21Perfect.
00:28:22Well, good luck then.
00:28:25Wow.
00:28:26Look at that.
00:28:27Holy smokes.
00:28:28That's made out of pure chocolate.
00:28:29Look at that.
00:28:36Don't drop me.
00:28:38Can I put on the cool ornaments?
00:28:40Only if I get to put on the ones you've made.
00:28:43Oh, um, we just made a new one in school.
00:28:46Really?
00:28:47Let's see it.
00:28:50Oh, I love it.
00:28:55Oh, no.
00:28:56My field trip.
00:28:57You have to sign this permission form.
00:29:00All right, all right.
00:29:01Let's see.
00:29:03I have to turn this in tomorrow or I can't go.
00:29:06Got it.
00:29:08And my homework.
00:29:09I forgot.
00:29:10My teacher wants us to figure out what our parents want for Christmas.
00:29:13Really?
00:29:14Yeah, she wants to make it a money problem for math.
00:29:18Hmm.
00:29:19Let's see.
00:29:21A good daughter.
00:29:22Dad, come on.
00:29:24Okay, socks then.
00:29:25Why do you always say that?
00:29:27Because you can never have too many.
00:29:31Really.
00:29:32I just want to be with the people I love.
00:29:35And the answer to a math problem for that is priceless.
00:29:40I'll tell her socks then.
00:29:56Wow.
00:29:58It's quite the collection this year, isn't it?
00:30:00I had no idea people took these so seriously.
00:30:03Oh, yes.
00:30:04We've got kids, adults, and even amateur bakers who participate.
00:30:08Wow.
00:30:09Do you know who made each of these?
00:30:11We do, but it's kept confidential for the judging process.
00:30:14And people's privacy, of course.
00:30:16Is there any way you could tell me if there's someone named Theo who brought in a gingerbread house?
00:30:21Theo.
00:30:22It doesn't ring a bell.
00:30:24And a name like that, I think I'd remember.
00:30:26But the winners will be announced just before Christmas.
00:30:28You should come back then.
00:30:30Okay.
00:30:32Okay.
00:30:42Looking good.
00:30:44Hey, Theo.
00:30:45Hey.
00:30:46We got a message from some shop.
00:30:47Hey, how's that Rodriguez order coming?
00:30:49Great.
00:30:50Almost ready for staining.
00:30:51Oh, good.
00:30:52And the Clemens order?
00:30:54A little behind.
00:30:56That guy's so impatient.
00:30:57And he wants it installed before Christmas.
00:30:59Do you want us to work overtime on it?
00:31:01No, I'll take care of it tonight myself.
00:31:02All right.
00:31:05Is that my credit card?
00:31:09Oh, man.
00:31:12Merry Christmas.
00:31:14Hi.
00:31:15I got a call about my credit card being here at Theo Hall.
00:31:17Oh, yeah.
00:31:20Ugh.
00:31:21Sorry.
00:31:22Buried under a pile of receipts.
00:31:23It's been crazy.
00:31:24I bet.
00:31:25Christmas rush.
00:31:26Yeah.
00:31:27Thanks for keeping it safe.
00:31:28You're welcome.
00:31:29Merry Christmas.
00:31:31Hey, um, I was here on Black Friday with someone,
00:31:35and she bought one of these ornaments.
00:31:37Is there any way you can look up her name?
00:31:40You were with her, but don't know her name?
00:31:44It's Kim something.
00:31:48Please.
00:31:50Okay.
00:31:53Mm.
00:31:54Nope.
00:31:55I can't look up customer info.
00:31:56It's all hidden.
00:31:57I think it's part of a financial security thing.
00:32:00Right.
00:32:01Thanks anyway.
00:32:02Yep.
00:32:05Actually, I'll take this one.
00:32:08Sure.
00:32:15Thank you, Kim.
00:32:17A dinosaur.
00:32:18I love it.
00:32:20You couldn't find something less tomboy?
00:32:22Nope, and besides, Mia loves an early Christmas present.
00:32:25Don't you, Mia?
00:32:26Can I open up more?
00:32:28No.
00:32:30How'd the gingerbread thing go?
00:32:32Not so great.
00:32:34I keep thinking about what we talked about,
00:32:37and I realize that he didn't share as much as I did.
00:32:41It makes me wonder if me looking for him is a mistake.
00:32:45I probably bored him all night.
00:32:47I doubt it.
00:32:48But I'm willing to bet that you remember more than you realize.
00:32:51Here.
00:32:53Okay, let's think.
00:32:55What do you know about him?
00:32:57Well, we know his name is Theo, and he has a daughter.
00:33:00He's divorced.
00:33:03He camps under the Christmas tree with his daughter every year.
00:33:07Oh, I know.
00:33:08And they volunteer at his shelter.
00:33:10This guy's a saint.
00:33:12Okay, what else?
00:33:13He talked about his mother, and his brother, his sister-in-law.
00:33:18But beyond that, I really did do all the talking.
00:33:22I'm sure it's not as bad as you think.
00:33:24But I have nothing to go on there.
00:33:26Okay, where'd you go?
00:33:27Together, I mean.
00:33:28We were at the shopping center, and then the toy store, but separately.
00:33:32He asked me to breakfast.
00:33:34Okay, good.
00:33:35Then the ornament stand, and the store we got separated in.
00:33:39Perfect.
00:33:40How was that perfect?
00:33:41Go back to the place where you guys had breakfast,
00:33:43ask for the waiter who served you,
00:33:44and then ask them if they remember anything about him,
00:33:47or if they knew who he was.
00:33:48Same with the ornament stand.
00:33:49Or the last store you visited.
00:33:51Those machines were down, so people couldn't really buy anything.
00:33:54I'm willing to bet they have security footage.
00:33:57That's a little extreme, isn't it?
00:33:59Depends on how badly you want to find Theo.
00:34:13Excuse me.
00:34:14Grab a seat, wherever you want.
00:34:15Hi, actually, I'm here to talk to you.
00:34:17I was here the morning of Black Friday.
00:34:19I don't remember anyone from my last shift, much less back then.
00:34:22Right.
00:34:23Okay, but I was here with this guy, and I hoped maybe you recognized him.
00:34:29Maybe he's regular here.
00:34:31Describe him.
00:34:33His name's Theo.
00:34:34He's tall, handsome.
00:34:38You actually winked at him?
00:34:42Huh.
00:34:44I don't...
00:34:45Oh, you two sat over there.
00:34:47Yes.
00:34:48He's a cutie.
00:34:49Okay, so you do know him.
00:34:50No, but I wink at all the cute ones.
00:34:52Right.
00:34:54So have you seen him here before?
00:34:55No.
00:34:56Are you sure?
00:34:58He knew this place.
00:35:00Maybe he's been in before, but it doesn't mean it was during my shift.
00:35:03I guess not.
00:35:05Any way you know his last name?
00:35:07Like, did he pay with his credit card?
00:35:10Oh, I remember.
00:35:11He paid cash.
00:35:12Left a good tip.
00:35:14Sorry.
00:35:15Get you anything to eat while you're here?
00:35:16No.
00:35:17I think so.
00:35:22Sorry, I don't have any of that information.
00:35:24Thanks anyway.
00:35:28Hello?
00:35:30Sorry, I lost track of time.
00:35:32I'll be right there.
00:35:36Even though everything you see here is from a long, long time ago,
00:35:40there is still so much for us to learn.
00:35:43What we do here is we study the fossils of plants and animals
00:35:46to better understand what life was like millions of years ago.
00:35:50Yes.
00:35:51Do you get to dig up the bones?
00:35:53I have before, and I still do every so often,
00:35:56but most of my time is spent here or in this lab.
00:36:00Yes, go ahead.
00:36:01What's your favorite?
00:36:02My favorite dinosaur?
00:36:04Triceratops, definitely.
00:36:06Although there are other types of dinosaurs in that family with similar features.
00:36:10They're called ceratopsians, and they are pretty cool.
00:36:14Yes.
00:36:15Do T-Rexes see well?
00:36:16My dad says they do, but my mom says they don't.
00:36:27Hi.
00:36:28Hi.
00:36:30Want to know my favorite dinosaur?
00:36:31I do.
00:36:33What is it?
00:36:34Brachiosaurus.
00:36:36Good choice.
00:36:37My students are writing a paper on brachiosaurus and other sauropods.
00:36:41How can I be a paleontologist like you?
00:36:44Well, you can study in college like at this university,
00:36:49or there are other universities with a paleontology program.
00:36:53It's a lot of work, but it's fun.
00:36:56Do you think I might be able to discover a new dinosaur?
00:36:59Maybe.
00:37:00You never know what's still out there for us to learn.
00:37:03Have you gotten a sticker yet?
00:37:05No.
00:37:06I'm on it.
00:37:09Favorite.
00:37:11Thanks, doctor.
00:37:13Oh, pathetic.
00:37:15Okay, bye.
00:37:16Bye.
00:37:28Hey, Zach.
00:37:29Hey, how's your day going?
00:37:31Fine. Field trip day, but otherwise the usual.
00:37:35Oh, good. You love those.
00:37:36Yeah.
00:37:37So, what's up?
00:37:40I wanted to ask about dinner.
00:37:42How's this weekend?
00:37:43Oh, um, I...
00:37:44I already made reservations at your favorite place for Friday and Saturday.
00:37:48You pick.
00:37:50Okay. Um, Friday then.
00:37:54Perfect.
00:37:57And then the tin soldier melted down to a small lump.
00:38:02The next day, the servant came and swept up the ashes,
00:38:06and there found what remained in the shape of a small tin heart.
00:38:13Wow. I don't know why you like this story.
00:38:15It's like the most depressing one ever.
00:38:17No. The soldier's brave, and the ballerina, too.
00:38:21They both get burned up or melted.
00:38:24Yeah, but they love each other.
00:38:27They do, uh.
00:38:28Are you turning into a little romantic now?
00:38:32Clarissa read Pride and Prejudice to me.
00:38:35Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:38:36No, don't be. I liked it.
00:38:37Oh, my. Okay, quick. Tell me about your field trip.
00:38:40We went to a dinosaur museum. It was so really cool.
00:38:44There's huge fossils.
00:38:46Oh, I got a sticker.
00:38:47Nice.
00:38:49Do you think we could go sometime, maybe make it like a Christmas tradition or something?
00:38:53Maybe. It just doesn't seem that Christmassy.
00:38:56I actually heard about a family who goes to see a Christmas play every year as a tradition.
00:39:01We could maybe try that out.
00:39:03Yeah. Sure.
00:39:12Hi.
00:39:13Hi. You ready to check out?
00:39:14Oh, no. Sorry, but I do have a strange request.
00:39:17Do you still have your security footage from the day after Thanksgiving?
00:39:21You're in luck.
00:39:22Another week and these files would have been archived. I wouldn't know how to find them at that point.
00:39:27Okay, so what time were you here?
00:39:28Uh, before dawn. 5 a.m.
00:39:30Uh, maybe 6.
00:39:34Huh. So I've got the hour before that.
00:39:39Oh, were you here during the power outage?
00:39:41Yes.
00:39:43Yeah, um, I think that may have messed up the files.
00:39:48Before and after that, it worked fine.
00:39:50But with the power going out, I don't know.
00:39:53Probably surged and damaged the videos before they could really save.
00:39:57Oh.
00:39:58Yeah, I'm sorry about that. Good luck, though.
00:40:01Hey, thanks for trying.
00:40:02Yeah. Oh, hey, in case you don't find them, um, I'm Dan.
00:40:09Thanks.
00:40:11Merry Christmas, Dan.
00:40:12Merry Christmas.
00:40:20Merry Christmas.
00:40:27Come in.
00:40:31Hi.
00:40:32Hi.
00:40:34Too much?
00:40:35No, these are great.
00:40:39Let me put these in a vase so we can go.
00:40:43That was the best comedy show. We had such a good time together.
00:40:46We sure did.
00:40:47We should go to one of those again.
00:40:49Yeah, um, maybe.
00:40:52So, how's work?
00:40:54I got promoted.
00:40:56Congrats. Uh, what are you doing now?
00:40:59Senior claims manager.
00:41:01Basically overseeing elevated health claims, helping keep claims reps in line, that sort of thing.
00:41:05Good for you. Do you like it?
00:41:08Still work, but it's a nice change for me.
00:41:11Well, I'm glad.
00:41:12I also bought a house. I'm remodeling it right now, but you should come see it sometime.
00:41:16Zach, that's great. I, I thought you loved your apartment, though.
00:41:22I wanted something more permanent.
00:41:25When we broke up, I was a little antsy.
00:41:29I'll admit it, I was unhappy.
00:41:31And then I got promoted and I thought that would fix it.
00:41:35And then I started to feel like something was missing.
00:41:38And then I started to feel like something was missing.
00:41:42Someone.
00:41:44And I know I was a fool, but I'm humble enough to admit it, and I'm hoping that you'll forgive me.
00:41:51Zach, of course I forgive you.
00:41:55But I meant what I said before.
00:41:58I'm not ready to pick back up where we were.
00:42:01No, no, of course I get it.
00:42:03I had to move on.
00:42:04Are you, do you mean to say you're seeing someone else?
00:42:08No.
00:42:09Okay, good. Look, we can take it really slowly.
00:42:13I just want us both to be happy, and I think that can happen if we're together.
00:42:17Okay?
00:42:35Excuse me.
00:42:36Hi.
00:42:37Hi.
00:42:38Are you here to volunteer?
00:42:39Oh, no, I'm actually here to find out about someone who did.
00:42:43I don't follow.
00:42:44Here, let me.
00:42:47I have a friend who volunteers, and I think it's at this shelter, but I don't know his full name.
00:42:55Your friend?
00:42:57I know, I just was wondering if you knew him. His name's Theo.
00:43:01Doesn't sound familiar to me, but we get a lot of volunteers this time of year, and most of them aren't regulars.
00:43:07It was a long shot.
00:43:08If you did come here, you might have signed the log.
00:43:11The log?
00:43:12People sign in over there.
00:43:17Can I take a look at it?
00:43:19Go for it.
00:43:31Anything?
00:43:32No, nothing. Thanks, though.
00:43:36Well, have a good night.
00:43:39Actually, can I lend a hand?
00:43:43That'd be great.
00:43:54All right, Clemens' order is almost done. We are installing the cabinets next week.
00:43:58Oh, perfect. Hey, why don't we plan to check it out once the countertops are installed? Just make sure everything's okay.
00:44:05Okay.
00:44:06Hey, would you mind closing up tomorrow?
00:44:09I just have some plans.
00:44:10Sure thing.
00:44:11Thanks.
00:44:13What plans? I thought we were grabbing a bite to eat.
00:44:16For lunch today, yes. Talking tomorrow, taking Ashley to a play.
00:44:21I thought you didn't like plays.
00:44:23I'm willing to give it a shot. And Kim said she goes every year.
00:44:28No last name Kim.
00:44:30Yes.
00:44:31Still thinking about her.
00:44:32Yeah.
00:44:33And going to the same place she might be at hopefully the same time is the best plan you have to find her.
00:44:40Well, I've tried searching for teachers in the area named Kim, so that seemed even more far-fetched.
00:44:47Yeah, it's probably a lot of them.
00:44:48Yeah, I even thought about going to schools and asking around.
00:44:51I can see the strange man arrested at elementary school headline now.
00:44:56Alright, where are we going to eat?
00:44:58I was thinking tacos?
00:44:59Always.
00:45:00Alright.
00:45:11Ah, here we go.
00:45:13Hey, where's Glenn?
00:45:14He's running late again.
00:45:15Vicki texted 15 minutes ago and they're on their way.
00:45:18Is Zach coming? I could still get another ticket.
00:45:20No, Mom.
00:45:21He loved it last year.
00:45:24Oh, here you are.
00:45:25Hey.
00:45:26Sorry.
00:45:27Were you all together?
00:45:28Yes, these seats right here.
00:45:29Oh, thanks for getting the tickets.
00:45:30Yeah.
00:45:33Mom.
00:45:34What is it, honey?
00:45:35I don't feel good.
00:45:37She looks a little green.
00:45:39What's wrong?
00:45:40My stomach hurts.
00:45:43Maybe we should take her home.
00:45:44But the play. Maybe just give her a moment.
00:45:47Come here, honey.
00:45:48Oh, she feels a little warm.
00:45:52I guess we better pass on tonight.
00:45:54Yeah.
00:45:55You two stay. I'll take Mia home and get her ready for bed.
00:45:58Oh, no. I can take her.
00:45:59You guys have a night out.
00:46:01Is that okay, Mia?
00:46:03Can we go now?
00:46:06Are you sure?
00:46:07Yeah.
00:46:08So, Mia, you ask Aunt Kim to call us if you need us to come home early, okay?
00:46:14Bye, you guys.
00:46:15Thanks, Kim.
00:46:16No problem.
00:46:19Looks like I have two extra tickets.
00:46:21Oh, do you want me to see the box office? We'll issue a refund.
00:46:23It isn't worth it, Catherine.
00:46:25I'll take care of it. You settle in.
00:46:29How's your tummy? Can you walk to the car all right?
00:46:31I think so.
00:46:32Okay.
00:46:39There.
00:46:40All right, let's get some tickets.
00:46:43Excuse me. Do you need tickets?
00:46:46Oh, we're just waiting in line to get some.
00:46:48Well, I ended up with two extra. Please.
00:46:51Oh, really?
00:46:52Yes.
00:46:53How much do I owe you?
00:46:54No, no. Already paid for.
00:46:56My daughter and my granddaughter had to leave, so enjoy the show.
00:47:01Okay.
00:47:02Thanks. Merry Christmas.
00:47:03Merry Christmas.
00:47:06This is going to go great.
00:47:07Here, Dad.
00:47:09Come on.
00:47:11Catch!
00:47:18I like to play, all right?
00:47:20Yeah, me too.
00:47:23Is it going to be warm enough?
00:47:24I think so.
00:47:25Okay. Did you brush your teeth?
00:47:27Yes.
00:47:28Good.
00:47:35So, Dad.
00:47:37Do you think you'll fall in love again?
00:47:40Why do you ask?
00:47:41Well, Uncle Hunter and Clarissa talk about it a lot.
00:47:50Well, how do you feel about it?
00:47:53I don't know. It's up to you, isn't it?
00:47:55Partially, but you come first.
00:47:57I do?
00:47:58Of course.
00:47:59Well, I'm not sure I want to.
00:48:03Of course.
00:48:04Well, it's okay as long as she likes me.
00:48:09Well, that will be very easy, then, because everybody loves you.
00:48:16So, do you want to fall in love?
00:48:20Is this you asking or Hunter and Clarissa?
00:48:22Me.
00:48:23Okay, just checking.
00:48:27Well, I haven't really thought about it like that.
00:48:31But, yeah, I guess I do.
00:48:33Have you met anyone?
00:48:40There is someone.
00:48:43I'm just having a hard time finding her again.
00:48:46You'll guess after Carter.
00:48:52Yeah, I guess I do.
00:48:57I do.
00:49:01I do.
00:49:09Hey.
00:49:10Hey. I come bearing gifts.
00:49:12Not that I want to turn these down, but why?
00:49:15For taking care of Mia.
00:49:17How is she?
00:49:18So much better.
00:49:19Good.
00:49:20So, I never got to hear about how your date with Zach went.
00:49:24Trying not to think about it.
00:49:26What are you thinking about instead?
00:49:28You could probably guess.
00:49:30Theo.
00:49:31You know, the more I say his name, the more romantic it sounds.
00:49:34So, no luck?
00:49:35No, dead ends everywhere I go.
00:49:38Honestly, I don't have much else to go on.
00:49:41I mean, what more can I do?
00:49:44You could hire a skywriting plane.
00:49:46Yeah, no.
00:49:47Okay, not to confuse you further, but while you're trying to track down this mystery shopper man,
00:49:53do you risk missing out on a second chance with Zach?
00:49:57Do you seriously think I should consider him?
00:50:00No.
00:50:01Well, yes, if you still have feelings for him.
00:50:07Right now, all I feel is awkward.
00:50:11He asked if I forgave him, and I did.
00:50:14I do.
00:50:16But that doesn't mean I still see a future with him.
00:50:19Yeah, makes sense.
00:50:21What would you do if you were me?
00:50:24Would you give Zach another chance?
00:50:27Or...
00:50:29Or what?
00:50:32Or ignore that crazy hope you had with someone you barely know,
00:50:37but feel like you've known forever?
00:50:41I mean, I wish it was easier to compare me and you.
00:50:44But with Glenn, I mean, he was my first love.
00:50:46He pulled me out of my shell.
00:50:49If it was me, I would probably go back to Zach.
00:50:53But that's just me, right? Old, shiny.
00:50:58If I was you, really you,
00:51:03I'd hold on to hope that I'd find your Theo.
00:51:13This looks nice.
00:51:14Hey, what are you doing here?
00:51:16Can we get lunch today?
00:51:17No. I mean, we can, but, you know.
00:51:21What's up?
00:51:23Okay.
00:51:25I've been thinking.
00:51:27What do I know about being a dad?
00:51:29Oh, you're having your freak out moment.
00:51:31Did you go through this with Ashley?
00:51:33Yeah.
00:51:34You get over it.
00:51:35How?
00:51:37You just read the parenting manual.
00:51:38Really?
00:51:40You figure it out as you go.
00:51:43You may not know everything, but
00:51:45you make up for it by how much you love the kid.
00:51:48And you will love him or her more than you can imagine
00:51:52the second you hold that baby in your arms.
00:51:54Yeah?
00:51:55Yeah.
00:51:56What if I mess it up?
00:51:58Oh, you will.
00:51:59I don't want to.
00:52:00That's life, brother.
00:52:03Hey, could Clarissa and I watch Ashley more?
00:52:06You know, practice some parenting.
00:52:08You realize you're having a baby, not a nine-year-old.
00:52:11Please?
00:52:13Well, Ashley is home from school on the break.
00:52:16I could drop her off in the morning before I go and install these cabinets.
00:52:20Okay, one condition.
00:52:21Anything.
00:52:22Stop talking about my love life in front of her.
00:52:25She has ears.
00:52:27Understood.
00:52:36Are you going to be late after work today?
00:52:38No, hopefully not.
00:52:39You okay being here today?
00:52:41Um, sure.
00:52:42Can I go sledding?
00:52:43Yeah, just ask them.
00:52:44I'm sure Hunter can dig up a sled somewhere.
00:52:46Do you think we'll win the gingerbread contest?
00:52:48Oh, I don't know, honey.
00:52:50There are a lot of good houses there already.
00:52:52I hope so.
00:52:53Well, if we don't hear in a couple days, that'll be our answer.
00:52:58Good morning.
00:52:59Hey, Sharon.
00:53:00Hi, Theo.
00:53:01What are you doing here?
00:53:02Oh, Clarissa asked me to get the door.
00:53:04Great.
00:53:06Are they ready for Ashley?
00:53:07Yes, come on in.
00:53:08Both of you.
00:53:09Oh, thanks, but I got to get back to work.
00:53:12Okay, have fun.
00:53:13Be good.
00:53:14Of course.
00:53:16Actually, feel free to give him a hard time today.
00:53:19What?
00:53:20Never mind.
00:53:21I love you.
00:53:23Bye, Dad.
00:53:24See you later.
00:53:25Bye, Theo.
00:53:33I think we make the baby room blue and pink.
00:53:36That way we're just, we're ready for the next one.
00:53:38Whoa, let's focus on the first baby for now, okay?
00:53:41And we don't have to rush.
00:53:42We still have months.
00:53:43Let's just wait until we know what this one is.
00:53:45Well, all of my friends say the due date just sneaks up on you,
00:53:48and then suddenly you've got all this stuff to do to get ready,
00:53:51and I really don't want that to be us.
00:53:53Clarissa, we'll be fine.
00:53:55I promise.
00:53:56What if I get sick?
00:53:57My mom, my mom had morning sickness,
00:53:59and she said that she could hardly get out of bed for months.
00:54:02Well, so far, so good, right?
00:54:04We just, we just, we just don't know.
00:54:07And it's not just the room, okay?
00:54:09We still need to purchase the clothes and the stroller
00:54:12and these harness, the harness things,
00:54:15and I'm not even sure, like, what they do.
00:54:17Sweetie, breathe, breathe, okay?
00:54:18You're going to have a panic attack.
00:54:20I know.
00:54:21It's okay.
00:54:22What?
00:54:23It's okay.
00:54:24Okay.
00:54:35Oh, hey.
00:54:37Hi, remember me?
00:54:39Yes, Brachiosaurus fan.
00:54:42Yeah, my name's Ashley.
00:54:44Good to see you, Ashley.
00:54:46No school today, huh?
00:54:48Um, we have Christmas break.
00:54:50Oh, lucky.
00:54:51Wait, don't you need Christmas break?
00:54:53I do, but today's still a work day.
00:54:56But that's okay, because I like to play with all the dinosaur bones.
00:54:59I wish I could do that.
00:55:01Well, I'm sure you could.
00:55:02You know, we do have a summer program.
00:55:04You can just come on by and see what it's like to be a paleontologist.
00:55:07Really?
00:55:08Mm-hmm.
00:55:09Just tag your parents, check it out on the university's website.
00:55:11Yeah, I will.
00:55:13So, where are your parents?
00:55:16I'm actually here with my aunt and uncle.
00:55:18They have to talk the sled to kill.
00:55:19Ah, those silly grown-ups.
00:55:21They cut the line to sled down, too, huh?
00:55:23Yep.
00:55:25So do they know you're here?
00:55:27Um, I'm not sure.
00:55:29Well, how about we walk back that way just to make sure?
00:55:32Okay.
00:55:33How's your day going?
00:55:34Good.
00:55:37Yeah, that's better.
00:55:39Looks good.
00:55:40Yeah, it does.
00:55:41Hey, glad you like it.
00:55:43Uh, if you notice anything I missed, just give me a call,
00:55:45but everything should be in top shape.
00:55:47Excellent.
00:55:48Well, any specifics in terms of, like, cleaning or whatever?
00:55:50Yeah, um...
00:55:53Let me take this.
00:55:55Ben can walk you through all that, okay?
00:55:57Uh, yeah, so the best thing to use is just a damp rag.
00:56:00Hey, what's up?
00:56:01Oh, minor snag, but we can't find Ashley.
00:56:05What?
00:56:06I'm sure she's around here somewhere.
00:56:07We're both looking.
00:56:08I just thought you should know.
00:56:09Where are you?
00:56:10I'm at the sledding park.
00:56:12Okay, I'm on my way over right now.
00:56:14Theo, I am so sorry.
00:56:16I'm sure she'll be fine.
00:56:17I just...
00:56:18Hunter, less talk, more searching for Ashley.
00:56:20Okay, yes, got it.
00:56:21Did you know crocodiles are like dinosaurs?
00:56:24Oh, oh, there she is.
00:56:27You got her?
00:56:28She's on her way back right now.
00:56:29All fine here.
00:56:30Sorry about the worry.
00:56:32Just make sure you don't get too close,
00:56:34because the good thing about fossils is they don't bite anymore.
00:56:37Ashley!
00:56:38Ashley!
00:56:39Let me guess, you're at an uncle.
00:56:41Yep.
00:56:43Oh, hey, I'm so glad you're okay.
00:56:46We've been looking everywhere for you.
00:56:48You were talking.
00:56:49I just went to the playground.
00:56:50You need to tell us next time.
00:56:52We are the worst future parents ever.
00:56:54Thanks for walking with me.
00:56:56Of course.
00:56:57It was good to see you again.
00:56:58I've been begging my dad to take me back to the museum.
00:57:01Well, you both should come.
00:57:02You could show him all the sauropods.
00:57:04And your ceratopsian.
00:57:07Good memory.
00:57:08Thank you so much.
00:57:09Of course.
00:57:10She is a great girl.
00:57:11Bye, see ya.
00:57:13Have a good afternoon.
00:57:14Bye.
00:57:15You too.
00:57:17Hey, Zach.
00:57:19Tomorrow.
00:57:21Yeah, I can come by.
00:57:23What time?
00:57:25Sweetie, we talked about the wandering off thing.
00:57:28I know, but I knew I was the whole time.
00:57:31Yeah, but Hunter and Clarissa didn't.
00:57:33I left them in charge.
00:57:35They were responsible for you while I was gone.
00:57:37Or supposed to be.
00:57:39I'm sorry.
00:57:41It's okay.
00:57:43Or supposed to be.
00:57:45Sorry.
00:57:47At least I found a nice person to talk to.
00:57:49A stranger.
00:57:51What if they weren't nice?
00:57:52But she wasn't a stranger.
00:57:54She was the lady from the dinosaur museum.
00:57:57Okay, I'm just glad that she brought you back safely to Hunter and Clarissa.
00:58:01Oh, she invited me to come to the museum again.
00:58:04Could we?
00:58:05I don't know.
00:58:07And then we could thank her for taking such good care of me while I was lost.
00:58:12I thought you knew where you were the whole time.
00:58:16Hmm?
00:58:18♪♪♪
00:58:39What do you think?
00:58:41This is beautiful.
00:58:43Just how the walls painted and the kitchen cabinets are new.
00:58:46Zach, I didn't know you had such great taste.
00:58:50I even had a designer come in and coordinate the colors.
00:58:53I was thinking of changing up the flooring.
00:58:55This is what it was before, but I was thinking of trying something new.
00:58:58It's nice.
00:58:59You think so?
00:59:00Yeah.
00:59:01But if you could pick, would you change it?
00:59:03Zach, I don't know. This is your house.
00:59:05Yeah, but I care about what you think.
00:59:07Especially if everything here could be yours too.
00:59:09Zach.
00:59:10I know, but...
00:59:12What happened to taking it slow?
00:59:17I just wanted to show you that I've changed.
00:59:20I'm serious about this.
00:59:22About us.
00:59:26I'm not running away this time.
00:59:31Uh, this seems like a really nice neighborhood.
00:59:35It is.
00:59:39I don't know what he was thinking.
00:59:41A house. A house!
00:59:43Yeah, it's a little bit much.
00:59:45It's kind of flattering though.
00:59:47If I felt the same way, sure.
00:59:49Was it nice? The house?
00:59:51Yeah.
00:59:52Ugh, but this is just so complicated.
00:59:55Kim, I hate to say it, but maybe you should consider going back to Zach.
00:59:59No, I can't.
01:00:01Because of Theo?
01:00:02No, because Zach feels this way now.
01:00:04But what if he suddenly changes again?
01:00:06And he's not paying attention to how I feel.
01:00:12So, Theo really has nothing to do with it?
01:00:15I keep wondering why did I even meet him, you know?
01:00:19Why would I just lose the chance of it being something more?
01:00:25It's like I'm being teased,
01:00:27and what I want is kept out of reach.
01:00:31Aw, Kim, I'm sorry.
01:00:34I wish I had the answer.
01:00:36I beg not.
01:00:39Give me something to wrap.
01:00:47Dr. Fennec, you still there?
01:00:48Yeah, I'm here.
01:00:49Oh, good. We just got a shipment in.
01:00:51I think it's a specimen from the Montana dig.
01:00:54I'll be right there.
01:00:56Hey, let's clear space for that shipment.
01:01:01Wow, look at the teeth on that guy.
01:01:04Look at that tooth.
01:01:06Holy smokes.
01:01:08How does he brush those?
01:01:09This is where the actual paleontologists work,
01:01:12like Dr. Fennec.
01:01:14Really? That's neat.
01:01:16Oh, is that her?
01:01:19No.
01:01:21She might not be here today.
01:01:24Well, you've been here before.
01:01:25You could give me the tour.
01:01:27Okay.
01:01:29Come on, this way. I'll show you.
01:01:34Come on, let's go, Dad.
01:01:36Come on.
01:01:37Okay, okay.
01:01:40There's this really cool skeleton.
01:01:43It's huge.
01:01:45What's it called?
01:01:46Brachiosaurus.
01:01:48You got it?
01:01:49Yeah.
01:01:54Hey, you okay?
01:01:56Yeah, I'm good.
01:02:10Hey, be sure to finish your milk.
01:02:12I will.
01:02:13And then where does your bowl go?
01:02:14The dishwasher.
01:02:18Hello?
01:02:19Hi, this is Lynn calling from the City Art Museum for Ashley,
01:02:22regarding the gingerbread contest.
01:02:23Yeah, hang on, she's right here.
01:02:26Okay, we're listening.
01:02:28I'm pleased to inform Ashley that her fairy garden gingerbread house
01:02:31won third place this year.
01:02:33Really?
01:02:34Dad, I won!
01:02:36That's great news.
01:02:37We'll have a little ceremony with the winners this afternoon at 3 p.m.
01:02:40Do you think you can make it?
01:02:42Yes, yes.
01:02:43Yes, we'll be there. Thank you.
01:02:46You did it.
01:02:47Dad, I won!
01:02:49We're delighted by all the holiday spirit we see in this competition.
01:02:53The entries we saw this year were top notch.
01:02:56We'd like to acknowledge two entries with Honorable Mentions.
01:03:00Candace Perez with her Marshmallow Snowman Cottage.
01:03:05And Jimmy Alta with his Army Man Gingerbread House.
01:03:11Now for our winners.
01:03:14In third place, Ashley Hall.
01:03:19With her imaginative fairy garden gingerbread house,
01:03:22Ashley wins a gift card to them all.
01:03:24Congratulations, Ashley.
01:03:26Thank you so much.
01:03:27In second place, we have Samuel Hazlett.
01:03:33Okay, you ready?
01:03:34Yeah.
01:03:35One, two, three, cheese.
01:03:38Got it.
01:03:40Can we take it home now?
01:03:41Oh no, we have to wait until January so everyone can see it.
01:03:45All right.
01:03:48So do you want to spend that gift card now or wait a little while?
01:03:51No, I better wait until January.
01:03:53I don't want to buy something I might get for Christmas.
01:03:57Good thinking.
01:03:58All right, get your certificate. Let's go.
01:04:04I don't want to go to the museum.
01:04:06Oh, sweetie, you'll love it. I promise.
01:04:08Yeah, we're going to go see some cool gingerbread houses.
01:04:11Yeah, and hopefully find out Kim's soulmate.
01:04:13Very funny.
01:04:15And then tonight we're going to go have dinner at Grandma's and then the rest of the day will be fun.
01:04:19I promise.
01:04:20All right.
01:04:21Good girl.
01:04:24Wow.
01:04:26See, not so bad, right?
01:04:28Look at these. These are amazing.
01:04:30I know.
01:04:31You know, Glenn and I tried to make one last year.
01:04:33He ended up eating the candy.
01:04:35Ha, typical.
01:04:36What did you guys make?
01:04:37I made a campsite.
01:04:38With a tent?
01:04:40You are never going to let that go.
01:04:42Nope.
01:04:43Hey, look, honorable mentions.
01:04:45Let's see, Candace Perez, Jimmy Alta.
01:04:49Winners.
01:04:50Ashley Hall, Samuel Hazlett, and Yelena Ellis.
01:04:57No, Theo, Theophilus, Theobald.
01:05:02Nope.
01:05:03Theophilus?
01:05:04I don't know.
01:05:07Well, I'm sorry his name's not here.
01:05:09Yeah.
01:05:10At least it was worth it for Mia.
01:05:12Mia!
01:05:13What?
01:05:17So, tell me about the house, Zach.
01:05:20I think you should come and see it.
01:05:21I can't do it justice.
01:05:23Love to.
01:05:25That's Kim.
01:05:26I'll get it.
01:05:27You're funny.
01:05:29Hey, what's...
01:05:31Zach's here.
01:05:32Wait, what?
01:05:33It's kind of my fault.
01:05:35Also, Glenn's, I was talking to him about Zach and the house,
01:05:38and your mom may or may not have been right there when we were talking about it,
01:05:41and she got really excited and invited him over for dinner.
01:05:44I'm so sorry.
01:05:51Hi, Kim.
01:05:52Hey, Zach.
01:05:53So, Zach was just telling us all about the house he's remodeling.
01:05:58Yeah, I am so glad the carpenter came and installed the cabinets on time.
01:06:01You know how construction is.
01:06:03Hey, how did you like their work?
01:06:05Because Bill and I are thinking about remodeling this kitchen.
01:06:08No, we're not.
01:06:09Uh, yes, I've wanted to for years, and you always talk me out of it.
01:06:12That's because there's nothing wrong with our kitchen.
01:06:14Shush. Think of it as an early birthday present.
01:06:17They're great. I'll give you their number.
01:06:19It's Theo Hall something or other?
01:06:21Theo?
01:06:22Theo Hall Carpentry, that's it. I'll look it up.
01:06:24Catherine.
01:06:25Thank you so much, Zach. It's great.
01:06:27Catherine.
01:06:28Excuse us.
01:06:33It has to be him.
01:06:34I want to believe more than anything that that's true,
01:06:36but there's probably a ton of Theos out there.
01:06:38I seriously doubt that.
01:06:39He'd be surprised.
01:06:40What, did you Google him or something?
01:06:42Not important.
01:06:45Here.
01:06:46Okay.
01:06:47Is that Isabel Carpentry?
01:06:48Yes.
01:06:52Are there any pictures?
01:06:53Uh, cabinets, furniture, none of him.
01:06:58Well, I mean, it's his business, so he's probably going to be a professional.
01:07:00Look, it's in town.
01:07:02You have to go.
01:07:04What if it's not him?
01:07:05Well, I mean, it never hurts to call.
01:07:06Or, you know, show up in person.
01:07:25Hello?
01:07:27I thought the store was closed today.
01:07:29It is.
01:07:32Hi, Theo.
01:07:33Sharon.
01:07:34Hi.
01:07:35Clarissa said you were catching up on some work today.
01:07:37And with it being so close to Christmas, I thought, well, that's no fun.
01:07:41So I brought some lunch for you and Ashley.
01:07:45Oh, thank you.
01:07:48That's nice of you.
01:07:49Uh, come on in.
01:07:51Thanks.
01:07:53Dad.
01:07:56That looks good.
01:07:58Come eat.
01:08:00I'm hungry.
01:08:02This looks great.
01:08:04Clarissa told me you love fried chicken.
01:08:07She did, huh?
01:08:08And Ashley loves brownies.
01:08:10Here, grab a plate.
01:08:59Thank you for lunch.
01:09:00Very thoughtful of you.
01:09:02I'm glad you liked it.
01:09:04Maybe we could do it again sometime?
01:09:07Uh.
01:09:09Sharon.
01:09:11I value our friendship.
01:09:15And I don't want to jeopardize that.
01:09:19We're practically family.
01:09:23And that's enough.
01:09:28Oh.
01:09:29I see.
01:09:31I'm sorry.
01:09:33Don't be.
01:09:36Would you do me a favor, though?
01:09:38Of course.
01:09:40If you change your mind, tell me.
01:09:44Maybe...
01:09:46You never know.
01:09:47I will.
01:09:49See you later.
01:09:50Bye.
01:09:52Bye, Ashley.
01:09:53Bye.
01:09:59Sigh.
01:10:30I love you.
01:10:31I love you.
01:10:32I love you.
01:10:33I love you.
01:10:34I love you.
01:10:35I love you.
01:10:36I love you.
01:10:37I love you.
01:10:38I love you.
01:10:39I love you.
01:10:40I love you.
01:10:41I love you.
01:10:42I love you.
01:10:43I love you.
01:10:44I love you.
01:10:45I love you.
01:10:46I love you.
01:10:47I love you.
01:10:48I love you.
01:10:49I love you.
01:10:50I love you.
01:10:51I love you.
01:10:52I love you.
01:10:53I love you.
01:10:54I love you.
01:10:55I love you.
01:10:56I love you.
01:10:57I love you.
01:10:58I love you.
01:10:59I love you.
01:11:00I love you.
01:11:01I love you.
01:11:02I love you.
01:11:03I love you.
01:11:04I love you.
01:11:05I love you.
01:11:06I love you.
01:11:07I love you.
01:11:08I love you.
01:11:09I love you.
01:11:10I love you.
01:11:11I love you.
01:11:12I love you.
01:11:13I love you.
01:11:14I love you.
01:11:15I love you.
01:11:16I love you.
01:11:17I love you.
01:11:18I love you.
01:11:19I love you.
01:11:20I love you.
01:11:21I love you.
01:11:22I love you.
01:11:23I love you.
01:11:24I love you.
01:11:25I love you.
01:11:26I love you.
01:11:27Will you let me sleep?
01:11:28Yep.
01:11:29Fine.
01:11:30Wait!
01:11:31Don't open any!
01:11:32I have to approve which one.
01:11:33Ugh.
01:11:34Nope!
01:11:35Not that one!
01:11:36No.
01:11:37No.
01:11:38No.
01:11:39This one.
01:11:40This one?
01:11:41Or we can wait till tomorrow.
01:11:42No.
01:11:43No.
01:11:44No.
01:11:45No.
01:11:46No.
01:11:47No.
01:11:48No.
01:11:49No.
01:11:50No.
01:11:51No.
01:11:52No.
01:11:53No.
01:11:54No.
01:11:55No.
01:11:56No.
01:11:57Really?
01:11:58Cool!
01:11:59Thanks dad!
01:12:00You're welcome.
01:12:01There?
01:12:02Perfect.
01:12:03Which one are you going to open?
01:12:04Oh I don't need one.
01:12:04You have to get something.
01:12:10Do I?
01:12:18Hey, what if we did something fun tonight for my present?
01:12:29You could go back to his work after Christmas.
01:12:32What would be the point?
01:12:33To chew him out for leading you on?
01:12:35Maybe he was just being nice.
01:12:37Besides, he would think I was obsessed for dwelling on this so long.
01:12:42But after all the searching, are you really satisfied to just not know what he felt when
01:12:47you met a month ago?
01:12:49No.
01:12:50But what if talking about it makes it worse?
01:12:55I don't want to risk getting hurt again.
01:12:58For what it's worth, I wish he was everything you thought he was going to be.
01:13:05Thanks.
01:13:07Seeing how you feel though, I do need to give you a little heads up.
01:13:12Again?
01:13:13What now?
01:13:14So your mom asked me if she thought she should invite Zach to the Santa's set off tomorrow.
01:13:19And given the latest with Theo, I told her that I thought it was a good idea.
01:13:26It's okay.
01:13:27Really?
01:13:28Not that I'm falling in love with Zach again, but I might as well make my mom happy.
01:13:34I think she likes him more than I do.
01:13:39We're supposed to go to Clarissa's parents' house tonight, and now you want to go to some
01:13:43Christmas village thing?
01:13:44Yeah, come on.
01:13:45It'd be something different.
01:13:47Is this just some way to stay clear of Sharon?
01:13:50No.
01:13:51We talked, and we're on the same page.
01:13:53Ouch.
01:13:54Hey, I was nice, and if you want to blame anyone, blame you and Clarissa for encouraging
01:13:59her.
01:14:00But no, this is something else.
01:14:04What?
01:14:06Kim.
01:14:09Let me guess.
01:14:10What's the other place she's supposed to be if you can just happen to be there at the
01:14:13same time?
01:14:14She said they go every Christmas Eve, and that the best time to go is this Santa send
01:14:19off thing she mentioned.
01:14:20Great, so better odds this time.
01:14:25She really got to you, huh?
01:14:27It's been a month, and I can't stop thinking about her.
01:14:33It's not like I bore my soul to her or anything, but the way I felt around her, I can't leave
01:14:42that behind.
01:14:43All right, I'm sold, but what am I going to tell Clarissa, or her mother, or our mom?
01:14:51She was looking forward to a night in where she didn't have to do the cooking.
01:14:54Just invite them along.
01:14:55Not everybody's going to go for that.
01:14:58Look, we can come back after, but I have to try.
01:15:03Okay, we start with Clarissa.
01:15:05If we can get her on your side, the rest is easy.
01:15:07Great.
01:15:21This is impressive.
01:15:22I never knew about this.
01:15:23I heard they do a Christmas thing every year.
01:15:26Where's the Santa send off?
01:15:28I don't want to miss it.
01:15:29Probably this way, but we got a few minutes.
01:15:31So, have you been here before?
01:15:33No, first time.
01:15:34I think mom would have really liked this.
01:15:36Oh, except the cold.
01:15:37But maybe next year we'll see if she wants to come along.
01:15:40Can we get a treat?
01:15:41Sure.
01:15:48Hey, Merry Christmas.
01:15:50Hello, Zach.
01:15:52Thanks for inviting me.
01:15:53We're glad you could come.
01:15:56Come on.
01:15:57I wonder if they have anything new in the village this year.
01:16:04Are you warm enough?
01:16:05Yeah.
01:16:06Thanks.
01:16:10Thanks.
01:16:13Can I have a hot chocolate with extra marshmallows?
01:16:16Make that two.
01:16:17That'll be $2.50 each.
01:16:19All right.
01:16:20So, $5.
01:16:23We accept tips, too.
01:16:26I accept tips if you want to round up.
01:16:28Here, I've got you covered.
01:16:31Interesting wallet choice.
01:16:33Yeah, it kind of makes you seem like a little kid, doesn't it?
01:16:38Dad?
01:16:40Sorry.
01:16:43Hey, Ashley.
01:16:44The woman from your field trip...
01:16:47What?
01:16:49What's that?
01:16:50Santa?
01:16:51Hurry!
01:16:53Ho, ho, ho!
01:16:55Merry Christmas!
01:16:59Thank you for coming to see me off.
01:17:02Nope, that's close enough.
01:17:03I hope you've been good this year.
01:17:05Just look at all the presents.
01:17:06No.
01:17:07Tonight is a special night.
01:17:09The busiest and one I treasure.
01:17:13My reindeer take me all around the world.
01:17:16And sometimes, I need some extra help.
01:17:19Do you know what that is?
01:17:21You.
01:17:22Your belief in me.
01:17:24And your excitement for the big day tomorrow.
01:17:28So, let me hear your best train whistle.

01:17:37Toot, toot!
01:17:39Now I'm ready.
01:17:41Merry Christmas to you all.
01:17:43Merry Christmas!
01:17:46Conductor, if you please.
01:17:49If you please.
01:17:51Merry Christmas!
01:18:01Hey, drink that up now before it gets cold.
01:18:03It's warm.
01:18:05Ashley, I was going to ask you.
01:18:08The woman from the park that was also at your field trip...
01:18:11What was her name?
01:18:13Oh, you mean Dr. Fennec.
01:18:15Yeah, but what was her first name?
01:18:17I don't know.
01:18:18Do you remember what she looks like?
01:18:20The dinosaur lady?
01:18:22Not the best way to describe any woman.
01:18:24She's pretty.
01:18:26She has really long hair.
01:18:28That could describe half the women here.
01:18:30Anything else?
01:18:32She looks like...
01:18:34Like...
01:18:36Like her!
01:18:38Dad, that's her!
01:18:43That is her.
01:18:45Can we go say hello?
01:18:48Absolutely.
01:18:50Just a couple moments, folks.
01:18:52We need to wait for that bar to go up.
01:18:54Is that really her?
01:18:58Come on, come on.
01:19:00Okay, enjoy.
01:19:02Come on!
01:19:06Where did she go?
01:19:11Oh, there she is!
01:19:13Ashley, wait for me!
01:19:18Come on!
01:19:43Dr. Fennec!
01:19:45Ashley!
01:19:47Did you lose your aunt and uncle again?
01:19:49No, I'm here with my dad.
01:19:51Ashley!
01:19:55Theo?
01:19:57Kim.
01:20:01It's really you.
01:20:03I've been looking everywhere for you
01:20:05since that night.
01:20:07You have?
01:20:09Yeah, not in a bad, creepy way.
01:20:11I don't think.
01:20:13No, it's okay.
01:20:15I've been searching for you, too.
01:20:19Really?
01:20:21Yeah.
01:20:25Well, I'm really glad
01:20:27that I found you here tonight.
01:20:29This was kind of my last chance.
01:20:31Why?
01:20:33Well, I sort of
01:20:35didn't have any more clues
01:20:37after this.
01:20:39I know what you mean.
01:20:41So you know my dad?
01:20:44Yeah, I...
01:20:46I do.
01:20:48Ashley, this is Kim.
01:20:50Dr. Fennec, Dad.
01:20:52Yes.
01:20:56This is my dad, Theo Hall.
01:20:58Oh, nice to meet you.
01:21:00Yes.
01:21:02What's going on?
01:21:06We found her.
01:21:08There are two things
01:21:10I wanted to do
01:21:12a month ago
01:21:14before we got split up.
01:21:16And what are they?
01:21:18Ask you for your phone number.
01:21:20Easy enough.
01:21:22And the other?
01:21:38I'm sorry.
01:21:40Don't be.
01:22:02Let's go see the reindeer.
01:22:04Come on.
01:22:07Shall we?
01:22:09Yeah.
01:22:33Hi.
01:22:35Hi, baby Victoria.
01:22:37Merry Christmas.
01:22:39Clarissa, she is adorable.
01:22:41Thank you so much.
01:22:43Our little baby's first Christmas
01:22:45treasure is her.
01:22:47Ashley, grab that one for baby Victoria.
01:22:49Okay.
01:22:51Here you go.
01:22:53Hi, Victoria.
01:22:55Okay, does everyone have a present to open?
01:22:57Oh, we're coming.
01:22:59Here.
01:23:01Thank you, sweetie.
01:23:04Oh, here.
01:23:06Kim, what do you think it is?
01:23:08This one's from my dad.
01:23:10Is it?
01:23:12And this one's from Kim, to you.
01:23:14Oh.
01:23:16I have no idea.
01:23:20What do you think it is?
01:23:22Well, first of all, we gotta work on your handwriting a little bit, babe.
01:23:24Okay, if you don't like it,
01:23:26we can return it.
01:23:28Honestly, it doesn't matter what it is.
01:23:30Well, I wish you would have said that before
01:23:32because I went to four different stores
01:23:34on Black Friday for this.
01:23:36I will love it
01:23:38because it's from you.
01:23:40Really?
01:23:42Really.
01:23:44Well, I suppose I'm lucky then
01:23:46because it's a pair of socks.
01:23:50Well, what do you think I got for you?
01:23:52It doesn't really matter to me either
01:23:54because I
01:23:56have everything I want right here.
01:23:59Merry Christmas, then.
01:24:01Merry Christmas.
01:24:28Merry Christmas.
01:24:58Merry Christmas.
01:25:28Merry Christmas.
