3
00:00:19,062 --> 00:00:19,889
Ready?
4
00:00:25,025 --> 00:00:27,418
No going back,
only moving forward.
5
00:00:27,505 --> 00:00:28,985
- Right?
- That's my girl.
6
00:00:29,072 --> 00:00:30,160
I'm gonna walk through this door
7
00:00:30,291 --> 00:00:31,683
and I'm never looking back.
8
00:00:33,294 --> 00:00:36,340
Oh, um, wrong floor. This...
9
00:00:36,471 --> 00:00:39,474
Uh, uh, okay, I'm walking
through the downstairs door
10
00:00:39,561 --> 00:00:41,041
and never looking back.
11
00:01:10,418 --> 00:01:13,290
Thank you all
for being here tonight
12
00:01:13,421 --> 00:01:16,685
at what we were hoping
would be a victory speech.
13
00:01:16,815 --> 00:01:19,427
I ran on a promise to make
Boston an eco-friendly city,
14
00:01:19,557 --> 00:01:20,993
and I intend to keep
that promise,
15
00:01:21,124 --> 00:01:23,605
even if it's not
as your city council member.
16
00:01:23,692 --> 00:01:25,694
To everyone who worked
on my campaign
17
00:01:25,781 --> 00:01:27,609
and to all of my voters,
18
00:01:27,739 --> 00:01:30,438
I am honored
to have earned your trust.
19
00:01:30,568 --> 00:01:32,396
Uh, since this was
a special election,
20
00:01:32,483 --> 00:01:34,485
will you run again
in the general next fall?
21
00:01:34,616 --> 00:01:37,097
That's the plan. We'll kick off
the campaign in the new year.
22
00:01:37,184 --> 00:01:38,446
And until then?
23
00:01:38,576 --> 00:01:40,926
With Christmas
being three weeks away,
24
00:01:41,057 --> 00:01:42,189
I'm going home
to spend it with family.
25
00:01:42,276 --> 00:01:45,453
- Oh, where's home?
- North Falls.
26
00:01:45,540 --> 00:01:47,194
And if you're looking for
a place to spend the holiday
27
00:01:47,281 --> 00:01:49,457
with your family, I have it
on pretty good authority
28
00:01:49,587 --> 00:01:51,981
that no one does Christmas
better.
29
00:01:52,112 --> 00:01:54,549
Thank you again
for your support.
30
00:01:54,679 --> 00:01:58,292
- I'll see you in the new year.
Yes. Thank you.
31
00:01:58,422 --> 00:01:59,989
- Just one more.
32
00:02:03,862 --> 00:02:05,821
I really wish
I could've given you a win.
33
00:02:05,908 --> 00:02:08,040
Oh, you will.
Don't be too hard on yourself.
34
00:02:08,171 --> 00:02:10,217
This was your first election.
35
00:02:10,347 --> 00:02:13,524
Okay, take a couple of days
to recoup, you know,
36
00:02:13,611 --> 00:02:16,266
get a deep tissue massage,
learn how to snowboard...
37
00:02:16,353 --> 00:02:18,442
- In a couple of days?
- And then...
38
00:02:18,529 --> 00:02:20,183
We'll attend
all the Boston holiday events
39
00:02:20,314 --> 00:02:23,230
for some photo ops.
40
00:02:23,317 --> 00:02:27,669
Lucy, you are the best campaign
manager, and because of that,
41
00:02:27,756 --> 00:02:30,062
I always listen to you,
42
00:02:30,150 --> 00:02:31,586
but I'm overruling you
this time.
43
00:02:31,673 --> 00:02:33,327
More on this later.
44
00:02:33,457 --> 00:02:35,851
Gwen Peters is making a beeline
for you.
45
00:02:35,981 --> 00:02:37,679
I have to go.
Anywhere but here.
46
00:02:37,809 --> 00:02:39,376
No, no, no, no, no!
47
00:02:39,463 --> 00:02:42,684
Aww... Julia.
48
00:02:42,814 --> 00:02:45,904
Julia, pumpkin pie,
I'm so sorry.
49
00:02:46,035 --> 00:02:49,952
Poor Julia.
My sweet, sweet, poor Julia.
50
00:02:50,082 --> 00:02:53,085
You must be devastated. Oh!
51
00:02:53,173 --> 00:02:56,828
G-Gwen, I, I really don't need
a pep talk. I'm perfectly fine.
52
00:02:56,959 --> 00:02:59,440
Then, how about a job offer?
53
00:02:59,570 --> 00:03:01,703
Looks like you could use one
right about now.
54
00:03:01,833 --> 00:03:04,184
Gwen, you know Big Pharma goes
against everything I stand for.
55
00:03:04,314 --> 00:03:06,316
No, I left
Probe Pharmaceuticals, like,
56
00:03:06,403 --> 00:03:08,013
I don't know, like, a month ago.
57
00:03:08,100 --> 00:03:09,972
I'm with The Greener Earth
Initiative now.
58
00:03:10,059 --> 00:03:13,062
Non-profits are all the rage.
59
00:03:13,149 --> 00:03:14,542
I love
The Greener Earth Initiative.
60
00:03:14,629 --> 00:03:16,935
I know you do,
and that's why I'm here.
61
00:03:17,022 --> 00:03:20,330
We need an associate director,
and you are perfect.
62
00:03:21,288 --> 00:03:23,594
Oh, um, please.
63
00:03:23,681 --> 00:03:25,901
Wow, oh, that's...
64
00:03:25,988 --> 00:03:30,340
- Wow. Uh, this is unexpected.
- I know.
65
00:03:30,427 --> 00:03:32,386
You know, it would actually be
a dream job
66
00:03:32,473 --> 00:03:35,519
if I wasn't already launching
my campaign in the new year.
67
00:03:35,606 --> 00:03:38,522
I know you think
you wanna run again,
68
00:03:38,653 --> 00:03:42,134
but it's not gonna be a special
election next time, Julia.
69
00:03:42,265 --> 00:03:44,789
No, you'll be up
against a popular incumbent.
70
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,923
I mean, why would you
wanna do that? Really.
71
00:03:48,010 --> 00:03:50,099
I mean, aren't you passionate
about saving the planet?
72
00:03:50,230 --> 00:03:52,667
- Looks like you are.
- Of course I am.
73
00:03:52,797 --> 00:03:56,105
Okay, then. We're announcing
the position in the new year.
74
00:03:56,192 --> 00:03:58,194
Printed on recycled paper.
75
00:04:02,894 --> 00:04:04,766
I... guess
that's a goodbye, then?
76
00:04:07,334 --> 00:04:08,378
Recycled paper.
77
00:04:26,178 --> 00:04:28,093
- Hey, guys, how's it going?
- How's it going?
78
00:04:35,840 --> 00:04:39,931
♪ Jingle bells jingle bells
jingle all the way ♪
79
00:04:40,062 --> 00:04:43,108
- What up, Jax?
80
00:04:43,239 --> 00:04:44,196
Still down to shoot
some hoops later?
81
00:04:44,327 --> 00:04:45,633
7:30 sharp, and don't forget,
82
00:04:45,763 --> 00:04:46,764
we're hanging Christmas lights
83
00:04:46,895 --> 00:04:48,026
in the town square tomorrow.
84
00:04:48,157 --> 00:04:49,550
But, like, it's just,
85
00:04:49,637 --> 00:04:51,639
I'm allergic
to work of any kind.
86
00:04:51,726 --> 00:04:53,771
- Oh, yeah, yeah.
- I swell, I get hives.
87
00:04:53,902 --> 00:04:56,034
I don't believe a word of that.
88
00:04:56,165 --> 00:04:57,688
I will be there.
89
00:04:57,819 --> 00:05:01,431
Nice tape deck. Are you playing
anything current?
90
00:05:01,518 --> 00:05:03,041
Get out of here.
91
00:05:14,749 --> 00:05:17,099
Hi, mom and dad!
- Oh!
92
00:05:17,186 --> 00:05:19,188
It's so great to have you
at home, sweetheart.
93
00:05:19,319 --> 00:05:20,624
- How was your drive?
- It was good.
94
00:05:20,755 --> 00:05:22,496
I got some thinking done.
95
00:05:22,626 --> 00:05:24,672
I'm so sorry about the election.
96
00:05:24,759 --> 00:05:28,458
But it's nice to see you
in person and not just on TV.
97
00:05:28,545 --> 00:05:29,590
Yeah, we just bought
a new smart TV
98
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:31,505
just to watch all your speeches.
99
00:05:31,592 --> 00:05:33,811
Parker set it up. He was great.
100
00:05:33,898 --> 00:05:36,510
- Parker?
- A handyman is a rare breed.
101
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:38,903
All that agility,
watching him reminded me
102
00:05:39,034 --> 00:05:40,818
of that movie Body Heat
from the '80s
103
00:05:40,905 --> 00:05:43,952
with Kathleen Turner
and Bill Hurt.
104
00:05:44,082 --> 00:05:47,042
- Okay, this is getting weird.
- You know, he's single.
105
00:05:47,129 --> 00:05:49,479
Really? Sounds like you two
should ask him out, then.
106
00:05:49,610 --> 00:05:51,002
Ask out who?
- Huh?
107
00:05:51,089 --> 00:05:52,700
- Ah!
Oh, my God!
108
00:05:52,787 --> 00:05:54,441
- Oh. Are you...
- Just remember to...
109
00:05:55,790 --> 00:05:58,488
What? Oh, wow. Are you okay?
110
00:05:58,575 --> 00:06:00,882
Huh? Did you do this on purpose?
111
00:06:00,969 --> 00:06:02,797
Oh, yeah, this is how I greet
everyone at Christmas.
112
00:06:02,927 --> 00:06:04,886
I'm not surprised. Your pranks
in school were legendary.
113
00:06:04,973 --> 00:06:06,670
I mean,
legendary is a strong word.
114
00:06:06,757 --> 00:06:10,065
- Are you cupping my head?
- I am.
115
00:06:10,152 --> 00:06:12,110
Let me get you both
some jasmine tea.
116
00:06:12,197 --> 00:06:16,071
- Thanks, Sylv. I'd love a cup.
117
00:06:16,201 --> 00:06:18,813
Look at you,
spreading Christmas cheer.
118
00:06:18,900 --> 00:06:21,337
- Pine needles and all.
- Sorry about that.
119
00:06:21,468 --> 00:06:23,557
I mean, you brought my parents
a Christmas tree.
120
00:06:23,687 --> 00:06:25,472
I'm delivering it
for Mr. Blankship.
121
00:06:25,559 --> 00:06:27,430
He's donating a portion
of the proceeds
122
00:06:27,517 --> 00:06:29,345
to the leadership program
at the high school.
123
00:06:29,432 --> 00:06:32,087
So the least I could do
is help him deliver them.
124
00:06:32,217 --> 00:06:34,306
- What a guy.
- You being sarcastic?
125
00:06:34,437 --> 00:06:35,830
I did just get knocked
in the head by a tree.
126
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:37,658
Fair. That's fair.
127
00:06:39,137 --> 00:06:41,009
I heard you're principal now.
128
00:06:41,096 --> 00:06:43,751
- It's been a busy year.
Yeah.
129
00:06:43,838 --> 00:06:45,753
Tell me about it.
I haven't been home since--
130
00:06:45,840 --> 00:06:48,190
Last Christmas, I know.
131
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,932
I mean, I-I,
I don't know know for a fact.
132
00:06:51,062 --> 00:06:52,760
I think I know.
Your parents are here.
133
00:06:52,890 --> 00:06:56,154
Makes sense you'd come home now.
That's, that's...
134
00:06:56,241 --> 00:06:57,895
Mm.
135
00:06:57,982 --> 00:07:00,811
Anyway, I'm sure, uh,
after this incident
136
00:07:00,898 --> 00:07:02,683
you're wishing
you'd stayed away longer.
137
00:07:02,813 --> 00:07:05,033
My hair does, and that's
the only thing that matters.
138
00:07:05,163 --> 00:07:06,991
It's your number-one priority.
139
00:07:07,078 --> 00:07:08,950
Oh, that and permaculture.
140
00:07:11,256 --> 00:07:12,562
I should get going.
141
00:07:12,693 --> 00:07:14,129
I'd say nice running
into you, but--
142
00:07:14,216 --> 00:07:17,349
Yeah. I'm, uh...
143
00:07:17,437 --> 00:07:20,570
I'm gonna put the tree
right over there.
144
00:07:20,701 --> 00:07:22,616
Hey, raincheck on that tea.
145
00:07:22,703 --> 00:07:24,792
- Welcome home.
- Thanks.
146
00:07:30,101 --> 00:07:32,234
What?
147
00:07:32,364 --> 00:07:33,322
You guys are being weird again.
148
00:07:35,977 --> 00:07:38,370
Those were your favorite
when you were a kid.
149
00:07:38,501 --> 00:07:40,764
You and Stella used to eat them
in order.
150
00:07:40,851 --> 00:07:43,550
Arms, legs, head.
151
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,074
Well, I don't do that anymore,
mom. I'm an adult.
152
00:07:48,772 --> 00:07:49,817
Mm!
153
00:07:52,689 --> 00:07:55,083
I really needed this.
154
00:07:55,213 --> 00:07:57,564
I always feel like I can
breathe better when I'm home.
155
00:07:57,651 --> 00:08:00,392
- And I missed you so much.
- I missed you, too.
156
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,482
And I don't think
I'm the only one.
157
00:08:02,612 --> 00:08:04,396
What is that supposed to mean?
158
00:08:04,527 --> 00:08:07,269
- Oh, nothing.
- Oh, please.
159
00:08:07,399 --> 00:08:10,011
What is with all the ladies
swooning over Parker?
160
00:08:10,098 --> 00:08:11,969
In case you haven't noticed,
he's not the same
161
00:08:12,100 --> 00:08:13,710
skinny debate-team captain.
162
00:08:13,841 --> 00:08:16,017
If you ask me,
he could actually be a model.
163
00:08:16,147 --> 00:08:18,019
What? No.
164
00:08:18,149 --> 00:08:19,760
All I can think about
when I see Parker
165
00:08:19,890 --> 00:08:22,197
is that he beat me
for senior class president,
166
00:08:22,284 --> 00:08:25,853
and he did it by being
manipulative and cunning and--
167
00:08:25,983 --> 00:08:27,507
Charming?
168
00:08:27,637 --> 00:08:29,030
You were crazy about him
in high school.
169
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,032
And don't you even try
to deny it.
170
00:08:31,162 --> 00:08:32,860
You two were inseparable
senior year.
171
00:08:32,990 --> 00:08:34,688
Yeah, well,
that was before he...
172
00:08:37,212 --> 00:08:40,476
Never mind. Whatever.
173
00:08:40,607 --> 00:08:43,305
You seem more upset about
losing an election that happened
174
00:08:43,435 --> 00:08:46,482
ten years ago than you are about
the one you lost last week.
175
00:08:46,613 --> 00:08:49,790
Of course I'm not.
Parker just gets under my skin.
176
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,749
He's a good guy, Julia.
Pretty much a town hero.
177
00:08:52,836 --> 00:08:55,273
And on top of being principal,
he runs a leadership program.
178
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,449
Yes, I know.
179
00:08:57,537 --> 00:08:59,930
And he organized all
the holiday events this year.
180
00:09:00,061 --> 00:09:02,237
Oh, writing his biography,
are you?
181
00:09:02,367 --> 00:09:04,239
The first draft's done,
but I'm hoping
182
00:09:04,369 --> 00:09:06,807
you become a bigger character
in the rewrite.
183
00:09:06,894 --> 00:09:09,331
Anyways, makes sense
that he planned all the events
184
00:09:09,461 --> 00:09:12,943
as our mayor needs to be big
on Christmas.
185
00:09:13,030 --> 00:09:15,076
You know,
I'm still conflicted about that.
186
00:09:15,163 --> 00:09:17,687
I know Mayor Rodriguez's plan
helped boost the town
187
00:09:17,774 --> 00:09:21,473
when the mill closed, but that
leaves other areas neglected.
188
00:09:21,604 --> 00:09:23,127
You sound like Parker.
189
00:09:23,258 --> 00:09:24,520
That's why
the leadership program
190
00:09:24,607 --> 00:09:26,348
is the center of his platform.
191
00:09:28,089 --> 00:09:30,091
Platform?
What are you talking about?
192
00:09:30,221 --> 00:09:34,443
Well, Parker is set to be
our new mayor.
193
00:09:34,574 --> 00:09:36,619
Wait, what?
194
00:09:36,706 --> 00:09:39,622
Uh, what are you talking about?
Like, mayor of North Falls?
195
00:09:39,753 --> 00:09:41,624
Yes.
196
00:09:41,711 --> 00:09:44,714
- You've got to be kidding me.
- No, I'm not.
197
00:09:44,801 --> 00:09:47,021
Okay, I didn't seen any signs
around town.
198
00:09:47,151 --> 00:09:49,806
I guess when you're running
unopposed, you don't need signs.
199
00:09:49,893 --> 00:09:51,373
Unopposed?
200
00:09:53,157 --> 00:09:55,116
Wait, what kind of race is that?
201
00:09:55,203 --> 00:09:56,552
I mean,
a job as important as mayor
202
00:09:56,639 --> 00:09:58,380
shouldn't just be handed
to someone.
203
00:09:58,510 --> 00:10:00,382
People should have a choice.
204
00:10:00,512 --> 00:10:02,819
No one else stepped up,
and I heard Mayor Rodriguez
205
00:10:02,950 --> 00:10:05,561
had to work her magic
to persuade Parker to run.
206
00:10:07,215 --> 00:10:10,827
Parker Conroy,
mayor of North Falls?
207
00:10:15,832 --> 00:10:18,226
- Noah!
- Aunt Julia!
208
00:10:18,313 --> 00:10:20,402
- Hey, hey!
- Hi.
209
00:10:20,532 --> 00:10:22,578
Mm, wait, I thought I wasn't
210
00:10:22,709 --> 00:10:24,406
gonna see you until tomorrow.
Where's your mom?
211
00:10:24,536 --> 00:10:26,713
Uh, she had an emergency
Angel Flight to California,
212
00:10:26,843 --> 00:10:27,844
so I'm staying with you!
213
00:10:27,975 --> 00:10:29,541
You two are sneaky.
214
00:10:29,629 --> 00:10:31,631
Dad said
he was going to the store.
215
00:10:31,761 --> 00:10:33,110
Noah made me promise
not to tell.
216
00:10:33,241 --> 00:10:35,330
Hey, sorry about your campaign.
217
00:10:35,417 --> 00:10:37,549
Next time you should focus
on swing voters.
218
00:10:37,637 --> 00:10:40,248
Boston has almost
600,000 undecided.
219
00:10:40,378 --> 00:10:42,772
Where were you when I was
looking for my campaign manager?
220
00:10:42,859 --> 00:10:44,644
Probably in gym class
staring at some boy.
221
00:10:44,774 --> 00:10:48,125
If you're not 6"4,
I'm not interested.
222
00:10:48,212 --> 00:10:50,650
Come on, come inside.
We were just making cookies.
223
00:10:52,739 --> 00:10:54,262
Are you over Christmas yet?
224
00:10:54,349 --> 00:10:56,264
You are, right?
You ready to come home.
225
00:10:56,394 --> 00:10:59,006
Are you really trying to deny me
my mom's homemade eggnog?
226
00:10:59,136 --> 00:11:01,225
- That's just unjolly.
- Sorry.
227
00:11:01,312 --> 00:11:03,706
I thought you wanted to win
your next race.
228
00:11:03,793 --> 00:11:06,491
Of course I do.
I just need to reset, Lucy.
229
00:11:06,622 --> 00:11:08,493
Being home always grounds me.
230
00:11:08,580 --> 00:11:09,973
Well, then you need to lay off
the eggnog.
231
00:11:10,060 --> 00:11:12,584
That is the opposite
of what I need to do.
232
00:11:12,715 --> 00:11:15,544
Is there something
that you wanna tell me?
233
00:11:15,631 --> 00:11:18,765
- I don't think so.
Nothing at all?
234
00:11:18,852 --> 00:11:20,680
Well, if you're talking
about Parker...
235
00:11:20,810 --> 00:11:23,073
-Wait, who's Parker?
- Who, what?
236
00:11:23,204 --> 00:11:27,469
I've, I've...
No one. I just, um...
237
00:11:27,599 --> 00:11:29,689
Yeah, uh, I don't even know
what you're talking about.
238
00:11:29,776 --> 00:11:32,126
Okay, uh,
what's with the stammering?
239
00:11:32,256 --> 00:11:34,215
It's not... I'm not...
240
00:11:34,345 --> 00:11:36,347
I'm, I'm not stammering.
I'm-I'm...
241
00:11:36,434 --> 00:11:39,307
Okay, relax, I'm not talking
about a Parker Whosie-whatsit.
242
00:11:39,437 --> 00:11:42,397
Why did I have to hear from Gwen
that she offered you a job?
243
00:11:42,527 --> 00:11:43,746
I mean, were you even gonna
tell me?
244
00:11:43,877 --> 00:11:45,574
Well...
245
00:11:45,705 --> 00:11:48,925
You weren't.
Okay, that's cool.
246
00:11:49,012 --> 00:11:50,405
I'll just be over here
in the dark,
247
00:11:50,535 --> 00:11:51,841
you know,
trying to manage your career.
248
00:11:51,972 --> 00:11:53,800
I'm sorry I didn't tell you.
249
00:11:53,930 --> 00:11:55,627
I just needed some time
to think about it.
250
00:11:55,758 --> 00:11:57,194
Well, I think
you should meet with her.
251
00:11:57,281 --> 00:11:58,630
I mean, you've always admired
252
00:11:58,761 --> 00:12:00,763
the Greener Earth Initiative,
Julia.
253
00:12:00,850 --> 00:12:02,286
And this'll give you
great exposure
254
00:12:02,373 --> 00:12:04,201
before your next election.
255
00:12:04,332 --> 00:12:06,421
You need to keep
your options open.
256
00:12:06,551 --> 00:12:08,162
Okay, so when
does she wanna meet?
257
00:12:08,292 --> 00:12:11,600
Uh, the 24th, in Boston.
258
00:12:11,687 --> 00:12:13,602
They wanna choose someone
before the new year.
259
00:12:13,733 --> 00:12:16,126
Who sets a meeting
on Christmas Eve?
260
00:12:16,213 --> 00:12:19,347
- Terrible people.
- Who you want me to work for.
261
00:12:19,477 --> 00:12:22,698
Correct! Gwen doesn't keep
Santa's schedule.
262
00:12:22,785 --> 00:12:25,875
This opportunity will pass
if you don't take the meeting.
263
00:12:26,006 --> 00:12:29,226
-Fine. One meeting.
- Good.
264
00:12:29,313 --> 00:12:33,622
Now, go back to your eggnog
and Parker Whosie-whatsit.
265
00:12:33,709 --> 00:12:36,712
Well, stop.
I'm hanging up now. I'm--
266
00:12:36,799 --> 00:12:38,453
Is he hot? What does he
look like? Send me a...
267
00:12:38,583 --> 00:12:40,890
- Oh. Damn.
268
00:12:42,413 --> 00:12:44,415
Okay.
269
00:12:44,546 --> 00:12:45,852
Once they're in,
you just wanna make sure
270
00:12:45,939 --> 00:12:47,854
they're hanging straight.
271
00:12:47,941 --> 00:12:49,943
I feel like such a dad
right now.
272
00:12:50,073 --> 00:12:51,771
Did your dad teach you
how to do this?
273
00:12:53,468 --> 00:12:55,252
Nah. He wasn't around much.
274
00:12:56,993 --> 00:12:59,256
I, uh, can relate.
275
00:12:59,387 --> 00:13:03,565
You know, there's more than
one way to have a family.
276
00:13:03,652 --> 00:13:06,089
I have my grandpa,
and when I was your age,
277
00:13:06,176 --> 00:13:08,091
he taught me how to hang lights.
278
00:13:09,963 --> 00:13:10,877
Thanks.
279
00:13:12,704 --> 00:13:13,836
- Hey, there it is!
- Hey!
280
00:13:18,493 --> 00:13:19,842
You can't be
missing me already.
281
00:13:19,929 --> 00:13:22,192
You just saw me yesterday.
282
00:13:25,021 --> 00:13:27,937
And there's the Parker I knew.
283
00:13:28,068 --> 00:13:29,939
I told you he was annoying.
284
00:13:30,070 --> 00:13:32,463
My old friend, Julia Chen,
former debate-team champion.
285
00:13:32,550 --> 00:13:36,380
- You were talking about me?
- Oh, she was.
286
00:13:36,511 --> 00:13:38,992
Uh, Noah, this is Jax.
He just moved to town.
287
00:13:41,081 --> 00:13:42,125
How tall are you?
288
00:13:42,212 --> 00:13:44,040
Six-foot-one.
289
00:13:44,127 --> 00:13:46,782
Oof, what a shame.
290
00:13:46,913 --> 00:13:49,045
Nice to meet you.
- Same here.
291
00:13:49,132 --> 00:13:51,221
Now, back to you
talking about me.
292
00:13:51,308 --> 00:13:52,875
You know, I was only saying
how I'm gonna be pulling
293
00:13:52,962 --> 00:13:54,485
pine needles out of my hair
for a month.
294
00:13:54,572 --> 00:13:56,400
That's a little bit dramatic,
and who doesn't love
295
00:13:56,531 --> 00:13:58,576
the smell of pine,
especially at Christmas?
296
00:13:58,707 --> 00:14:01,362
My mom happened to mention
that you're running for mayor.
297
00:14:01,492 --> 00:14:03,538
Why didn't you mention that
yesterday?
298
00:14:03,625 --> 00:14:06,367
It just felt with our past,
299
00:14:06,497 --> 00:14:09,283
it seemed
a little bit sensitive.
300
00:14:09,370 --> 00:14:13,635
What? No way. I'm, I'm good.
301
00:14:13,722 --> 00:14:15,724
- I'm happy for you.
- Thank you.
302
00:14:15,855 --> 00:14:17,552
This town has given me
everything,
303
00:14:17,682 --> 00:14:20,990
and now I have the chance
to give back,
304
00:14:21,121 --> 00:14:23,906
so I'm taking it.
305
00:14:24,037 --> 00:14:26,039
Look, are you gonna be at the
tree-lighting ceremony tonight?
306
00:14:26,169 --> 00:14:28,563
The least I can do
is buy you a hot chocolate.
307
00:14:28,650 --> 00:14:31,566
You know,
as tempting as that is, um,
308
00:14:31,653 --> 00:14:34,743
I've got a work call with my
campaign manager tonight, so...
309
00:14:34,874 --> 00:14:36,527
I thought you had that
last night.
310
00:14:36,614 --> 00:14:38,312
We still have
other things to talk about.
311
00:14:38,442 --> 00:14:41,097
Anyways, uh, my parents' tree
is not gonna decorate itself
312
00:14:41,228 --> 00:14:43,230
so, uh, bye.
313
00:14:43,317 --> 00:14:45,449
Bye. See you tonight, then!
314
00:14:45,536 --> 00:14:47,190
Nope. Probably not.
315
00:14:47,321 --> 00:14:50,541
- But probably...
- Not.
316
00:14:50,672 --> 00:14:52,761
- Bye, Noah.
- Bye, Jax.
317
00:14:56,852 --> 00:14:59,420
- Stop.
- I didn't say anything.
318
00:14:59,550 --> 00:15:01,422
Okay, and we're ready.
319
00:15:04,947 --> 00:15:07,819
- Oh, that looks so good!
- Oh!
320
00:15:07,950 --> 00:15:10,953
Beautiful! Thank you so much
for your hard work.
321
00:15:11,084 --> 00:15:14,130
- Uh, grandma, that was not work.
- Mm-hmm.
322
00:15:14,217 --> 00:15:15,827
- We were happy to do it, mom.
- You know, it's getting dark.
323
00:15:15,915 --> 00:15:19,570
- We better get to the ceremony.
- Uh, yeah, you guys go ahead.
324
00:15:19,657 --> 00:15:21,964
I've got a date with George
Bailey and a gallon of eggnog.
325
00:15:22,095 --> 00:15:24,358
Nonsense.
I made you a hot chocolate.
326
00:15:24,445 --> 00:15:26,273
And I know you don't want it
go to waste.
327
00:15:30,103 --> 00:15:32,714
Okay, fine, only 'cause I love
your hot chocolate.
328
00:15:32,844 --> 00:15:34,977
Let me grab my jacket.
I'll be right back.
329
00:15:41,636 --> 00:15:44,508
♪ That time of year
has come again ♪
330
00:15:44,639 --> 00:15:48,991
♪ I just wanna be
with all my friends ♪
331
00:15:49,078 --> 00:15:51,994
♪ Smiling faces
calling down to me ♪
332
00:15:52,081 --> 00:15:53,865
♪ Let's go downtown ♪
333
00:15:53,996 --> 00:15:56,390
I can never get sick
of this.
334
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,740
They add more lights every year.
335
00:15:58,827 --> 00:16:01,786
- And still no solar options?
- With what money?
336
00:16:01,917 --> 00:16:04,659
All the extra funds went
in a new gazebo.
337
00:16:04,746 --> 00:16:08,184
Hey, Mr. and Mrs. Chen!
H-how's the tree?
338
00:16:08,271 --> 00:16:11,971
Beautiful! Julia and Noah
just finished decorating it.
339
00:16:12,058 --> 00:16:14,582
Speaking of, where's Julia?
340
00:16:16,453 --> 00:16:18,107
She's, uh...
341
00:16:18,238 --> 00:16:21,415
- Oh, hey!
Hey!
342
00:16:21,502 --> 00:16:24,070
Looks like your phone meeting
was cancelled.
343
00:16:24,157 --> 00:16:26,333
- What phone meeting?
- It's nothing, dad.
344
00:16:26,420 --> 00:16:27,943
It's no big deal.
345
00:16:28,030 --> 00:16:29,727
So how about that hot chocolate?
346
00:16:29,814 --> 00:16:32,121
Oh, you know,
my mom already made some,
347
00:16:32,208 --> 00:16:35,081
and no one else's can compare.
348
00:16:35,211 --> 00:16:37,866
I'm sure you're right about
that. Some other time, then.
349
00:16:37,953 --> 00:16:39,955
Parker? Parker, come here.
350
00:16:40,086 --> 00:16:42,305
Okay, duty calls.
You all have a lovely evening.
351
00:16:42,436 --> 00:16:43,480
Thank you.
352
00:16:45,134 --> 00:16:47,919
- What?
What's going on? Hey.
353
00:16:48,007 --> 00:16:49,660
They moved up
my daughter's induction
354
00:16:49,791 --> 00:16:51,749
to the day after Christmas,
we're, we're gonna have
355
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:54,013
to move the election
to the 24th.
356
00:16:54,143 --> 00:16:56,537
Wa-wa-wait, the-the 24th?
That's only two weeks away.
357
00:16:56,667 --> 00:16:58,887
Yeah, I have to pack,
finish the baby's quilt
358
00:16:58,974 --> 00:17:01,150
and, plus, I'm trying
to campaign for the baby to have
359
00:17:01,237 --> 00:17:03,065
a non-gender conforming name.
360
00:17:03,152 --> 00:17:04,893
- Oh, wow, that's great.
- What do you think of River?
361
00:17:04,980 --> 00:17:06,547
I like River.
Isn't that your name?
362
00:17:06,677 --> 00:17:08,810
Oh, yeah.
363
00:17:08,897 --> 00:17:10,899
I thought I had
until after the new year.
364
00:17:10,986 --> 00:17:12,814
I still have to find
my replacement,
365
00:17:12,901 --> 00:17:15,077
and the leadership program has
no volunteers this time of year.
366
00:17:15,164 --> 00:17:17,036
No problems,
only solutions.
367
00:17:17,123 --> 00:17:19,299
Your first assignment
as North Falls' newest mayor
368
00:17:19,386 --> 00:17:21,649
is to put your big-boy pants on
and make it work!
369
00:17:21,736 --> 00:17:23,825
- Okay?
- Okay. I'll try.
370
00:17:23,955 --> 00:17:26,045
I'm gonna be a grandma! Oh!
371
00:17:26,132 --> 00:17:27,742
Best Christmas present ever!
372
00:17:30,179 --> 00:17:31,224
Congratulations.
373
00:17:33,008 --> 00:17:35,097
Hello, my beloved North Falls!
374
00:17:35,184 --> 00:17:37,969
Isn't it a perfect night
for a Christmas tree lighting?
375
00:17:43,975 --> 00:17:47,849
This is my 12th year
doing this. Can you believe it?
376
00:17:47,936 --> 00:17:50,112
Who knew back then
that North Falls would become
377
00:17:50,243 --> 00:17:52,767
New England's
number-one holiday destination?
378
00:17:54,551 --> 00:17:56,727
I have loved every minute of it.
379
00:17:56,814 --> 00:18:00,340
But as you all know,
my time here is coming to an end
380
00:18:00,427 --> 00:18:02,733
and I'm announcing tonight
that I will be leaving
381
00:18:02,820 --> 00:18:05,997
sooner than expected.
No, for a very happy reason.
382
00:18:06,085 --> 00:18:09,653
My grandbaby is coming
sooner than we thought!
383
00:18:09,740 --> 00:18:12,003
So we're gonna be having
the election on the 24th.
384
00:18:12,134 --> 00:18:13,614
Of course, it's just a formality
385
00:18:13,701 --> 00:18:15,529
because Parker is running
unopposed--
386
00:18:15,616 --> 00:18:17,574
No, he's not!
387
00:18:20,838 --> 00:18:23,276
Did she just...
388
00:18:23,406 --> 00:18:26,235
You can't have a proper election
without being given a choice.
389
00:18:27,802 --> 00:18:31,110
So... I'll give you one.
390
00:18:33,112 --> 00:18:35,592
- I'll run against Parker!
391
00:18:35,679 --> 00:18:38,378
Julia! Of course!
392
00:18:38,465 --> 00:18:41,337
Oh, I love
a little healthy competition.
393
00:18:41,468 --> 00:18:43,383
Come up here, both of you.
Come up, Parker.
394
00:18:43,513 --> 00:18:44,819
- Come on up.
- Wow.
395
00:18:49,693 --> 00:18:52,479
Ah, I think Julia makes a worthy
opponent, don't you, Parker?
396
00:18:52,566 --> 00:18:55,003
You are not wrong, mayor.
397
00:18:55,134 --> 00:18:56,744
All right,
well, you have two weeks.
398
00:18:56,831 --> 00:18:58,746
Shortest campaign ever,
I'm sure.
399
00:18:58,876 --> 00:19:02,315
But what a fitting way to end
my term, with a Christmas...
400
00:19:02,402 --> 00:19:06,101
Ooh, wait. Let's call it
a Candy Cane Campaign.
401
00:19:06,188 --> 00:19:08,147
- Oh, I love it!
- That's good.
402
00:19:08,234 --> 00:19:10,061
Will you two do the honors?
403
00:19:10,192 --> 00:19:11,324
- Yes.
- Sure.
404
00:19:15,241 --> 00:19:16,851
Are we really doing this again?
405
00:19:16,981 --> 00:19:18,679
Oh, it's on.
406
00:19:18,766 --> 00:19:22,161
Three, two, one!
407
00:19:23,858 --> 00:19:26,687
Beautiful!
408
00:19:26,817 --> 00:19:28,863
- Got to be quick.
- Oh, I'm quick.
409
00:19:39,743 --> 00:19:41,702
Hey. Do you really
wanna be mayor?
410
00:19:43,704 --> 00:19:46,097
You know,
when I first got back here,
411
00:19:46,185 --> 00:19:49,318
all I wanted to do was
lose myself in the holidays.
412
00:19:49,405 --> 00:19:53,714
That's hard for me. I keep
fighting the urge to fix things.
413
00:19:53,844 --> 00:19:55,368
You think
North Falls needs fixing?
414
00:19:55,455 --> 00:19:57,631
I feel like we're so
concerned about keeping the town
415
00:19:57,718 --> 00:20:00,460
authentic for Christmas
that we ignore everything else.
416
00:20:00,590 --> 00:20:02,592
Like, our infrastructure,
it's so antiquated,
417
00:20:02,723 --> 00:20:04,594
which means
our emissions are sky high.
418
00:20:04,681 --> 00:20:07,162
Our recycling program,
it's so outdated.
419
00:20:07,249 --> 00:20:08,685
And we have no social programs
to bring awareness
420
00:20:08,816 --> 00:20:11,862
to conservation. Sorry.
421
00:20:11,949 --> 00:20:13,864
I get a little carried away
sometimes.
422
00:20:13,995 --> 00:20:17,172
Um, I think it's called passion,
and voters are gonna love it.
423
00:20:17,303 --> 00:20:19,740
- So, keep it up.
- Thanks.
424
00:20:22,046 --> 00:20:26,703
I guess when my hand shot up,
I wasn't even thinking.
425
00:20:26,790 --> 00:20:28,444
Sounds like
your heart made a decision
426
00:20:28,531 --> 00:20:30,794
before your mind even knew
what was happening.
427
00:20:30,881 --> 00:20:33,580
Are you sure you're 16?
428
00:20:33,667 --> 00:20:36,278
Mom says I was born
an 80-year-old.
429
00:20:36,409 --> 00:20:38,280
But, you know,
I feel more like 32.
430
00:20:38,367 --> 00:20:39,499
- Oh, so we're the same age.
- Yeah.
431
00:20:39,586 --> 00:20:41,240
I guess I'm an old soul, huh?
432
00:20:43,285 --> 00:20:46,810
I miss your mom.
I wish she was home.
433
00:20:46,941 --> 00:20:48,769
Hey, we should call her.
434
00:20:48,856 --> 00:20:51,075
Yeah, it's three hours earlier
in California. It's...
435
00:20:57,560 --> 00:20:59,170
Hi!
Hi!
436
00:20:59,301 --> 00:21:01,956
Oh, I'm so happy
to see your faces!
437
00:21:02,043 --> 00:21:03,087
- Come home!
- Yeah.
438
00:21:03,174 --> 00:21:04,306
You've missed a ton already.
439
00:21:04,437 --> 00:21:07,178
Hey, Aunt Julia
is gonna be mayor.
440
00:21:07,266 --> 00:21:10,181
-Wait, what?
- Running for mayor.
441
00:21:10,312 --> 00:21:12,488
I still have to beat
Mr. Town Hero.
442
00:21:12,575 --> 00:21:14,534
Wait, you're running against
Parker Conroy?
443
00:21:14,621 --> 00:21:17,928
Seriously, I say "Town Hero"
and you knew it was Parker?
444
00:21:18,015 --> 00:21:19,930
Everyone knows that,
but you have
445
00:21:20,017 --> 00:21:21,845
just as much of a chance
as he does.
446
00:21:21,932 --> 00:21:23,760
- Thank you.
- Hey, mom.
447
00:21:23,891 --> 00:21:25,936
Uh, do you think you'll be home
in time for Christmas?
448
00:21:26,023 --> 00:21:28,243
I hope so, but my boss said
449
00:21:28,374 --> 00:21:30,289
that there might be
a few more transports.
450
00:21:30,376 --> 00:21:31,725
Well, you better be home
for Christmas Eve
451
00:21:31,812 --> 00:21:33,117
'cause I'm gonna need your vote.
452
00:21:33,248 --> 00:21:34,728
Oh, well,
I'm gonna have to review
453
00:21:34,858 --> 00:21:36,991
all the literature
before I make any decisions.
454
00:21:37,078 --> 00:21:39,776
Yeah, ma'am! I'll be sending you
my resume and bio.
455
00:21:39,907 --> 00:21:41,691
- Oh.
456
00:21:41,778 --> 00:21:43,650
I gotta go. We're getting ready
to take off.
457
00:21:43,780 --> 00:21:46,653
- We love you!
- Love you! Bye!
458
00:21:46,740 --> 00:21:49,395
Bye! I love you.
459
00:21:49,482 --> 00:21:51,832
- Night, Aunt Julia.
- Goodnight, sweetie.
460
00:22:01,407 --> 00:22:03,191
Hey, gramps,
where do you want this?
461
00:22:03,278 --> 00:22:07,021
Okay, uh, to the left.
462
00:22:07,151 --> 00:22:10,111
B-back left. Yeah.
- Left?
463
00:22:10,198 --> 00:22:12,896
- Okay. Back. Ba... Okay, b-back.
- This way?
464
00:22:13,027 --> 00:22:16,247
- Yeah. Turn it on its head.
- Again?
465
00:22:16,335 --> 00:22:19,120
- What?
- This gets him every time.
466
00:22:19,207 --> 00:22:21,601
Oh, this is, this is all
for your enjoyment, huh?
467
00:22:21,688 --> 00:22:23,167
- He's hilarious.
468
00:22:23,254 --> 00:22:26,736
Ah. But it's starting
to come together.
469
00:22:26,823 --> 00:22:28,521
Thanks for your help, Jax.
470
00:22:28,608 --> 00:22:30,349
Well, we had to make things
a little extra special,
471
00:22:30,436 --> 00:22:32,220
considering the Christmas Eve Sock Hop
472
00:22:32,307 --> 00:22:34,831
will basically be
your victory party.
473
00:22:34,962 --> 00:22:37,356
All right, slow down there,
slick. I have to win first.
474
00:22:37,443 --> 00:22:40,097
Julia isn't an easy opponent,
trust me.
475
00:22:40,184 --> 00:22:43,187
I'm having a deja vu over here.
476
00:22:43,274 --> 00:22:44,885
I can't believe,
after all these years,
477
00:22:45,015 --> 00:22:47,061
you two are going at it again.
478
00:22:47,148 --> 00:22:48,628
Wait, what does that mean?
479
00:22:48,715 --> 00:22:49,890
We ran against each other
480
00:22:49,977 --> 00:22:51,326
for senior class president.
481
00:22:51,457 --> 00:22:53,197
- Ooh-wee!
- Well...
482
00:22:53,328 --> 00:22:55,548
If it hadn't been for that race,
483
00:22:55,678 --> 00:22:57,288
you never would've gotten close.
484
00:22:57,376 --> 00:23:00,248
The plot thickens,
the tea is hot.
485
00:23:00,335 --> 00:23:02,598
Tell me more, gramps.
486
00:23:02,685 --> 00:23:07,429
Well, those two used to go at it
like cats and dogs
487
00:23:07,516 --> 00:23:10,737
until they competed
against each other.
488
00:23:10,824 --> 00:23:13,043
Then they found out
they had more in common than
489
00:23:13,130 --> 00:23:15,611
they realized,
became best of friends.
490
00:23:15,742 --> 00:23:17,787
Yeah,
until she stopped talking to me.
491
00:23:17,918 --> 00:23:19,049
What happened?
492
00:23:20,964 --> 00:23:23,010
Honestly, I still don't know.
493
00:23:23,097 --> 00:23:25,316
But she's back.
494
00:23:25,447 --> 00:23:28,189
And I always loved stories
about second chances.
495
00:23:28,319 --> 00:23:31,497
All right, you need to lay off
the Christmas TV movies,
496
00:23:31,584 --> 00:23:33,194
grandpa. He's watching them--
497
00:23:33,281 --> 00:23:35,239
Who doesn't love a happy ending?
498
00:23:35,326 --> 00:23:37,633
Yeah, well,
what's my happy ending?
499
00:23:37,764 --> 00:23:41,289
Something tells me
it's not to be mayor.
500
00:23:41,376 --> 00:23:44,248
You've already got a job
that you love.
501
00:23:44,379 --> 00:23:46,599
You've barely been there a year.
502
00:23:46,729 --> 00:23:48,688
Wait, so if you win, does that
503
00:23:48,775 --> 00:23:49,863
mean you won't be able
to hang out anymore?
504
00:23:49,993 --> 00:23:51,952
What, no. No, I'm sure--
505
00:23:52,082 --> 00:23:53,127
That's exactly what it means.
506
00:23:53,257 --> 00:23:54,650
Grandpa, the town needed someone
507
00:23:54,737 --> 00:23:56,522
to step up, so I did.
508
00:23:56,609 --> 00:24:00,090
I wanted to do it.
I'm, I'm happy to do it.
509
00:24:00,221 --> 00:24:02,441
I just hope it's worth it.
510
00:24:07,402 --> 00:24:10,187
Mom says she might not be home
in time for Christmas.
511
00:24:10,274 --> 00:24:12,625
Well, don't give up hope
just yet.
512
00:24:12,755 --> 00:24:14,844
- Oh, I gotta go.
- Why are you so rushed?
513
00:24:14,931 --> 00:24:16,411
At least have some congee.
514
00:24:16,498 --> 00:24:18,239
I can't, I have an appointment
515
00:24:18,369 --> 00:24:20,154
at the mayor's office,
filing for my candidacy.
516
00:24:20,241 --> 00:24:23,113
Will Mr. Conroy be there
with his sidekick?
517
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,507
- What's his name? Jack?
- I don't think so.
518
00:24:25,594 --> 00:24:28,510
Parker already filed.
And, uh, his name is Jax.
519
00:24:28,641 --> 00:24:31,818
But I'm sure
you already knew that.
520
00:24:31,948 --> 00:24:34,951
Hey, hey, hey, pot in
dishwasher. You know the rules.
521
00:24:35,082 --> 00:24:36,170
Your lack of planning is not...
522
00:24:36,300 --> 00:24:37,519
My emergency.
523
00:24:37,650 --> 00:24:39,478
I know, mom, but I've got to go.
Okay.
524
00:24:42,176 --> 00:24:43,003
Hold it.
525
00:24:45,396 --> 00:24:47,007
We haven't had any time
to talk about
526
00:24:47,137 --> 00:24:48,835
what is actually happening.
527
00:24:48,922 --> 00:24:51,490
I hope you've thought
this thing through, Julia.
528
00:24:51,620 --> 00:24:54,057
Washington was always your dream.
529
00:24:54,188 --> 00:24:56,059
You came here
with a whole other life plan
530
00:24:56,146 --> 00:24:59,541
and now, poof, you suddenly
want to become mayor?
531
00:24:59,628 --> 00:25:01,369
Would that be so bad?
532
00:25:01,456 --> 00:25:03,937
I mean, it takes so long to get
things done at the state level.
533
00:25:04,024 --> 00:25:06,679
Being mayor,
I could take action right away.
534
00:25:06,766 --> 00:25:08,855
I feel like this could actually
be a better move for me.
535
00:25:08,985 --> 00:25:12,554
Nothing would make me happier
than having you back home.
536
00:25:12,641 --> 00:25:15,252
Well, I still have to win first,
mom, so don't get your hopes up.
537
00:25:15,339 --> 00:25:16,515
You'd better
get down there, then.
538
00:25:16,602 --> 00:25:18,386
Parker needs a proper opponent.
539
00:25:19,343 --> 00:25:21,345
Thanks, mom.
540
00:25:21,476 --> 00:25:23,739
And don't forget about Christmas
Pictionary tonight at Perked.
541
00:25:23,870 --> 00:25:25,654
Mom, I have so much
on my to-do list.
542
00:25:25,785 --> 00:25:28,657
And Christmas Pictionary
should be at the top.
543
00:25:28,744 --> 00:25:32,008
- It's a tradition.
- I'll be there.
544
00:25:37,057 --> 00:25:40,669
Okay,
Mr. Candy Cane Candidate.
545
00:25:40,756 --> 00:25:42,889
Why are you here?
Haven't you already filed?
546
00:25:42,976 --> 00:25:46,327
Oh, hi to you, too. I'm doing
well. Thank you for asking.
547
00:25:46,457 --> 00:25:50,592
Hey, what do you think?
Night Sky mayor or GQ mayor?
548
00:25:50,679 --> 00:25:52,551
- You're an idiot.
- Well...
549
00:25:52,638 --> 00:25:54,683
Our current mayor thought
it'd be a good idea if I met you
550
00:25:54,770 --> 00:25:57,904
here for a photo op, you know,
just to kick off the race.
551
00:25:57,991 --> 00:25:59,253
Hey, what do you think, Nick,
maybe a-a picture
552
00:25:59,340 --> 00:26:00,820
in front of the Christmas tree?
553
00:26:00,950 --> 00:26:03,126
- What a good idea.
- I don't think that's a good...
554
00:26:03,257 --> 00:26:04,911
Okay. Great.
555
00:26:07,261 --> 00:26:08,262
Okay.
556
00:26:14,007 --> 00:26:16,575
Okay.
- Uh, why don't you shake hands?
557
00:26:22,058 --> 00:26:24,321
Can you at least act like
I don't smell? For the picture.
558
00:26:24,408 --> 00:26:26,236
Oh, well, for the record,
you do smell.
559
00:26:26,367 --> 00:26:29,152
Like motor oil and cheese.
560
00:26:29,239 --> 00:26:30,937
Yeah, well, you still smell
like pine needles.
561
00:26:31,024 --> 00:26:33,809
Okay.
562
00:26:33,940 --> 00:26:35,463
That should be good.
I got some good ones.
563
00:26:35,550 --> 00:26:37,987
- Great.
That's a nice smile.
564
00:26:38,118 --> 00:26:39,510
Thank you.
565
00:26:39,598 --> 00:26:42,513
- Oh, I was talking about Parker.
- Oh.
566
00:26:42,644 --> 00:26:44,298
Second time
our hands have touched.
567
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:47,388
Are you keeping track?
568
00:26:47,518 --> 00:26:49,042
I assume
you'll both be attending
569
00:26:49,129 --> 00:26:50,521
all the holiday festivities?
570
00:26:50,652 --> 00:26:51,784
I'd like to make
sure I have a photographer
571
00:26:51,914 --> 00:26:54,047
to get shots of each event.
572
00:26:54,177 --> 00:26:56,266
Uh, well, I planned them all,
so I'll definitely be there.
573
00:26:56,397 --> 00:26:58,399
I'll be there. And I'll have
a few events planned of my own.
574
00:26:58,486 --> 00:27:00,662
- Oh? Really? Like, what?
- Mm-hmm.
575
00:27:00,749 --> 00:27:02,011
- Wouldn't you like to know?
- Huh.
576
00:27:02,142 --> 00:27:04,797
I'd like to know.
It's for the paper.
577
00:27:08,322 --> 00:27:10,541
Christmas Pictionary.
578
00:27:10,629 --> 00:27:12,848
Tonight at Perked,
seven o'clock.
579
00:27:12,935 --> 00:27:14,328
- Sounds fun. I'll be there.
- Hm.
580
00:27:15,764 --> 00:27:16,983
- Yay.
581
00:27:25,556 --> 00:27:26,775
Hey,
sorry, Jax couldn't be here.
582
00:27:26,906 --> 00:27:29,169
Oh. I didn't even notice.
583
00:27:31,519 --> 00:27:33,347
Welcome, everyone.
We're ready to start.
584
00:27:33,434 --> 00:27:35,175
So let's get into our teams.
585
00:27:35,262 --> 00:27:37,307
I wanna be on Parker's team.
586
00:27:37,394 --> 00:27:39,658
- Hey.
- Hoo!
587
00:27:39,745 --> 00:27:42,182
We are totally gonna lose.
He thinks he's Michelangelo.
588
00:27:42,269 --> 00:27:45,402
Hey, don't forget, grandpa,
we're being timed.
589
00:27:45,533 --> 00:27:46,839
Yeah, I got it,
I got it, I got it.
590
00:27:51,234 --> 00:27:52,540
Julia will start.
591
00:28:02,506 --> 00:28:04,291
Uh, it's-it's an ornament.
592
00:28:04,421 --> 00:28:06,293
A-a donut! C-cookie!
593
00:28:06,380 --> 00:28:08,817
Uh, the-the wedding ring I lost.
594
00:28:08,904 --> 00:28:11,733
A-a Santa. It's Santa.
595
00:28:11,864 --> 00:28:13,039
It's Santa.
596
00:28:14,518 --> 00:28:16,651
I... see...
597
00:28:16,782 --> 00:28:19,393
I see you when you're sleeping?
598
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:23,527
Uh, Santa, Santa,
Santa grinds his teeth.
599
00:28:23,614 --> 00:28:25,442
Santa has a nervous breakdown
and becomes
600
00:28:25,573 --> 00:28:27,227
one of those people
who fish in the city--
601
00:28:27,314 --> 00:28:29,446
It's a comb! Comb!
602
00:28:29,533 --> 00:28:32,449
S-saw? Saw!
603
00:28:32,536 --> 00:28:33,799
- Ten seconds!
- Uh...
604
00:28:33,886 --> 00:28:34,800
Santa's cutting down
605
00:28:34,930 --> 00:28:35,844
a Christmas tree.
606
00:28:35,931 --> 00:28:38,412
I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus!
607
00:28:46,376 --> 00:28:48,509
- Good job.
608
00:28:48,639 --> 00:28:49,902
Y... Yeah, you, too.
609
00:28:52,382 --> 00:28:53,253
Okay.
610
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:58,127
That was actually really fun.
611
00:28:58,214 --> 00:29:00,347
- It was, huh?
- Mm.
612
00:29:00,477 --> 00:29:03,393
Too bad Jax couldn't make it.
I think Noah was bummed.
613
00:29:03,524 --> 00:29:06,483
Yeah, they, uh, they definitely
seem to have hit it off.
614
00:29:06,614 --> 00:29:08,268
- Yeah.
615
00:29:08,355 --> 00:29:10,487
Unlike us when we first met.
616
00:29:10,618 --> 00:29:11,837
And the first thing you did
was make fun
617
00:29:11,924 --> 00:29:13,229
of my below the knee pony boots.
618
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:14,970
That never happened.
619
00:29:15,057 --> 00:29:16,102
I don't even know
what those are.
620
00:29:16,189 --> 00:29:17,581
What do you mean?
621
00:29:17,668 --> 00:29:20,584
I remember
because I bought them that day.
622
00:29:20,715 --> 00:29:23,196
Well, you know what people say,
when you make fun of someone,
623
00:29:23,283 --> 00:29:25,546
it's because you like them.
624
00:29:25,676 --> 00:29:27,243
So you do remember.
625
00:29:29,158 --> 00:29:31,682
Do you remember
626
00:29:31,770 --> 00:29:33,554
the annual
Christmas Eve Sock Hop
627
00:29:33,641 --> 00:29:35,774
at my grandpa's barn?
628
00:29:35,904 --> 00:29:37,297
It's a North Falls tradition.
629
00:29:37,427 --> 00:29:39,778
Yeah, I haven't seen you there
in years.
630
00:29:39,908 --> 00:29:42,650
- Not since senior year.
- Why is that?
631
00:29:44,260 --> 00:29:45,653
It doesn't matter anymore.
632
00:29:48,264 --> 00:29:50,614
Okay.
633
00:29:50,701 --> 00:29:52,834
Well, since the election
is on Christmas Eve,
634
00:29:52,921 --> 00:29:54,009
I was thinking
maybe we could have
635
00:29:54,140 --> 00:29:57,404
joint, uh,
election night parties.
636
00:29:57,491 --> 00:29:59,449
I mean, the whole town will
already be at the barn, so--
637
00:29:59,580 --> 00:30:02,539
Wait, excuse, you just assume
everyone's gonna be at the barn?
638
00:30:02,670 --> 00:30:05,804
Like you said,
North Falls tradition.
639
00:30:05,891 --> 00:30:08,371
Candidates can't have
joint election night parties.
640
00:30:08,458 --> 00:30:09,503
Why not?
641
00:30:09,633 --> 00:30:11,635
Because that's not how it works.
642
00:30:11,722 --> 00:30:15,378
Okay. Well,
what are you gonna do instead?
643
00:30:15,465 --> 00:30:17,293
It's none of your business,
okay?
644
00:30:18,468 --> 00:30:19,992
Anyways, I'm gonna go.
645
00:30:22,298 --> 00:30:23,473
Bye.
646
00:30:26,433 --> 00:30:29,131
I did make fun of those boots.
They were so ridiculous.
647
00:30:35,659 --> 00:30:37,444
What about Candy Land? Yeah.
648
00:30:37,574 --> 00:30:40,403
We could have different booths
of cookies and candies and--
649
00:30:40,534 --> 00:30:44,407
Ooh, ooh, okay, slow down,
Willie Wonka. I like it.
650
00:30:44,538 --> 00:30:45,844
Wait, but the Christmas
craft fair already offers
651
00:30:45,931 --> 00:30:48,237
all that stuff.
652
00:30:48,324 --> 00:30:51,153
You two look like
you're planning a heist.
653
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:53,547
Oh, we are. We're planning
on taking the election.
654
00:30:53,634 --> 00:30:56,376
Boom! And you're our accomplice,
grandpa.
655
00:30:56,463 --> 00:30:58,465
Well, he can be anything
but the lookout.
656
00:30:58,595 --> 00:31:01,033
All it takes is a peppermint
snickerdoodle to distract him.
657
00:31:01,163 --> 00:31:03,774
Hey, only if it's
your mother's recipe.
658
00:31:03,862 --> 00:31:05,211
So, how can I help?
659
00:31:05,341 --> 00:31:06,647
Can you think
of any Christmas events
660
00:31:06,777 --> 00:31:08,649
that haven't already been done?
661
00:31:08,779 --> 00:31:11,260
You know, this reminds me
of how you and Stella would plan
662
00:31:11,347 --> 00:31:15,482
entire events for your dolls
when you were little.
663
00:31:15,612 --> 00:31:18,615
Then you'd just play with them
for a day and lose interest.
664
00:31:18,702 --> 00:31:20,791
I used to make my dolls
have secret naps together.
665
00:31:20,922 --> 00:31:24,795
Wait, wait, wait. That's it.
Great idea, dad.
666
00:31:24,926 --> 00:31:26,580
We'll do a toy drive.
667
00:31:26,710 --> 00:31:28,495
People can donate
their gently-used toys
668
00:31:28,582 --> 00:31:30,018
to kids who need it most.
669
00:31:30,105 --> 00:31:32,412
And it will get people
to recycle.
670
00:31:32,542 --> 00:31:35,154
Yes, because 90 percent
of all toys are plastic.
671
00:31:35,284 --> 00:31:37,591
Yeah, and you could fulfill
your campaign promises
672
00:31:37,678 --> 00:31:38,766
right here in North Falls.
673
00:31:38,897 --> 00:31:40,420
Oh, that's perfect!
674
00:31:40,507 --> 00:31:42,857
Dad, thank you so much.
675
00:31:42,988 --> 00:31:45,599
Okay, um, well,
now we just need to figure out
676
00:31:45,686 --> 00:31:47,383
where to have the toy drive.
677
00:31:47,514 --> 00:31:50,125
To be continued. All right.
678
00:31:50,212 --> 00:31:51,735
- Uh, well, where are you going?
- Uh...
679
00:31:51,822 --> 00:31:53,868
Meet-the-candidate event
at the high school.
680
00:31:53,955 --> 00:31:56,088
I'd ask you to come, but, um,
681
00:31:56,175 --> 00:31:58,307
I think mom just made
a fresh batch.
682
00:31:58,394 --> 00:32:01,049
Oh, well, I think
she's gonna need a taste tester.
683
00:32:01,180 --> 00:32:02,616
So, okay, have fun, see ya.
684
00:32:07,969 --> 00:32:09,536
Thank you do much for coming.
685
00:32:09,666 --> 00:32:11,581
We never turn down free stuff.
686
00:32:11,668 --> 00:32:14,149
Ooh, muffins. Mm.
687
00:32:14,236 --> 00:32:16,543
I would love to talk to you
about my campaign.
688
00:32:16,673 --> 00:32:18,719
I was hoping that you two
would consider voting for me.
689
00:32:18,806 --> 00:32:20,895
We're voting for Parker, dear.
690
00:32:21,026 --> 00:32:24,377
You know, Parker doesn't have
the experience that I do.
691
00:32:24,507 --> 00:32:26,988
Oh, it wouldn't be right for us
not to vote for him.
692
00:32:27,119 --> 00:32:30,122
- He's teaching me how to swim.
- What?
693
00:32:30,209 --> 00:32:34,735
She could totally write
a novella about that red Speedo.
694
00:32:34,822 --> 00:32:37,085
Oh, there he is now,
the man of the hour.
695
00:32:37,172 --> 00:32:39,087
Hello, Parker.
696
00:32:39,174 --> 00:32:40,567
You know he's single.
697
00:33:11,163 --> 00:33:13,643
Hey, nice to see you. Hi.
698
00:33:18,170 --> 00:33:19,606
Why are you here, Parker?
699
00:33:22,652 --> 00:33:24,698
You are aware I'm a candidate
in this race, right?
700
00:33:24,785 --> 00:33:26,569
You're asking me why I'm
at a meet-the-candidate event?
701
00:33:26,700 --> 00:33:28,354
The candidate not candidates,
right?
702
00:33:28,441 --> 00:33:29,572
There's no S
at the end of that sentence.
703
00:33:29,703 --> 00:33:31,879
Oh, you assumed
when Mayor Rodriguez
704
00:33:32,010 --> 00:33:33,707
set this up,
it was just for you?
705
00:33:33,794 --> 00:33:34,969
There's no S!
706
00:33:35,056 --> 00:33:36,623
She probably ordered that sign
707
00:33:36,710 --> 00:33:38,277
before you even joined the race,
which actually
708
00:33:38,364 --> 00:33:39,669
means it was made for me,
I mean,
709
00:33:39,756 --> 00:33:41,541
I was her first pick, after all.
710
00:33:43,108 --> 00:33:44,761
- Hm.
- Come on.
711
00:33:44,892 --> 00:33:47,677
Just a little friendly
competition, that's all.
712
00:33:47,764 --> 00:33:49,853
It doesn't feel very friendly.
713
00:33:49,940 --> 00:33:52,508
I do enjoy riling you up.
714
00:33:52,595 --> 00:33:55,685
You think you have the power
to rile me up?
715
00:33:55,816 --> 00:33:57,252
I am in control
of my own emotions.
716
00:33:57,383 --> 00:33:59,385
Okay, you are aware
you get that little wrinkle
717
00:33:59,472 --> 00:34:01,735
in your brow when you get mad,
I see that hasn't changed
718
00:34:01,822 --> 00:34:03,998
since high school.
Well, nothing has, really.
719
00:34:04,129 --> 00:34:06,696
Oh, my... You know,
a lot has changed, okay?
720
00:34:06,827 --> 00:34:09,830
- I have changed. Yeah.
- Really?
721
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:13,138
We're in our high school
campaigning against each other,
722
00:34:13,268 --> 00:34:14,835
driving each other nuts.
723
00:34:14,922 --> 00:34:16,576
- Hm.
- See, there it is again.
724
00:34:18,534 --> 00:34:21,450
Just stay on your side,
and I'll stay on mine.
725
00:34:21,581 --> 00:34:25,106
Okay. It's hard to tell
which is your side. Hm.
726
00:34:27,456 --> 00:34:29,545
I have so many ideas
about how we can bring
727
00:34:29,676 --> 00:34:31,286
clean energy to North Falls.
728
00:34:31,417 --> 00:34:33,636
Uh, we can do so much
to reduce our footprint.
729
00:34:33,723 --> 00:34:35,551
Absolutely,
that's a great question.
730
00:34:35,638 --> 00:34:38,163
My focus is on youth programs.
731
00:34:38,250 --> 00:34:40,426
But as the mayor,
my goal is to implement
732
00:34:40,556 --> 00:34:42,384
social services
for the whole community.
733
00:34:47,868 --> 00:34:49,696
This is a chicken teriyaki.
734
00:34:49,783 --> 00:34:53,091
Oh, I can smell that.
Thank you.
735
00:35:08,454 --> 00:35:10,586
Rudolph the Red Velvet.
736
00:35:10,673 --> 00:35:12,675
Is it GF and dairy-free?
737
00:35:12,806 --> 00:35:15,678
Uh, maybe.
738
00:35:15,809 --> 00:35:19,726
- I'll take it anyway.
- What are you writing?
739
00:35:19,856 --> 00:35:22,337
I'm logging all my interactions
with the voters.
740
00:35:22,468 --> 00:35:24,557
Aren't you doing the same thing
for Mr. Conroy?
741
00:35:24,687 --> 00:35:27,168
No. I'm just talking to them.
742
00:35:27,255 --> 00:35:29,997
Well, yeah, but you have
to keep track of their votes.
743
00:35:30,084 --> 00:35:33,261
I mean, you don't wanna
go into this election blind.
744
00:35:33,348 --> 00:35:36,743
But if you spend all that time
with your nose in a clipboard,
745
00:35:36,830 --> 00:35:39,789
you might miss out
on a connection.
746
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:41,487
That's what Mr. C
always says anyways.
747
00:35:44,925 --> 00:35:48,058
So, um, why'd you move here?
748
00:35:48,189 --> 00:35:50,931
Mm, wasn't really working
and all for me back home.
749
00:35:51,018 --> 00:35:52,976
I kept changing schools, so...
750
00:35:53,063 --> 00:35:55,675
So this is all kind of like
a new beginning for you, then?
751
00:35:55,805 --> 00:36:00,245
Yeah. And I'm starting off by
helping Mr. C win his campaign.
752
00:36:00,332 --> 00:36:02,334
Okay, well, I think
Aunt Julia's the professional,
753
00:36:02,464 --> 00:36:04,074
so she knows what she's doing.
754
00:36:04,205 --> 00:36:08,644
Yeah, but didn't she lose,
like, her last campaign?
755
00:36:08,731 --> 00:36:13,171
Ouch! Hey, what happened
to the easy-going aloof guy?
756
00:36:13,301 --> 00:36:15,869
I think
I kinda liked him better.
757
00:36:15,999 --> 00:36:17,392
Hey, you ever played
this or that?
758
00:36:17,523 --> 00:36:21,396
- Yeah, it's a great way...
- To get to know someone.
759
00:36:21,483 --> 00:36:23,616
- Dogs or cats?
- Oh, dogs. No question.
760
00:36:24,704 --> 00:36:25,835
Cats are better.
761
00:36:28,708 --> 00:36:30,318
Hey, Lucy,
what's going on?
762
00:36:30,449 --> 00:36:33,103
Just finished my second
therapy session of the week.
763
00:36:33,191 --> 00:36:36,585
- She was full of compliments.
Nice.
764
00:36:36,716 --> 00:36:39,632
Okay, I'm gonna say this
as calmy as possible.
765
00:36:39,762 --> 00:36:42,504
What is going on, Julia?
766
00:36:42,635 --> 00:36:45,507
Wow! Okay. Jumping right in.
767
00:36:45,594 --> 00:36:47,553
Look, I know you're upset, but--
768
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:50,817
Is-is there some reason that
I had to hear this through Gwen?
769
00:36:50,947 --> 00:36:52,775
What? How does she even know?
770
00:36:52,906 --> 00:36:54,951
It's in the paper, Julia.
Everybody knows.
771
00:36:55,038 --> 00:36:56,431
The point that you seem to be
missing is that
772
00:36:56,518 --> 00:36:58,216
I am the last one.
773
00:36:58,346 --> 00:36:59,739
Okay, I'm sorry
I didn't tell you.
774
00:36:59,869 --> 00:37:01,784
Honestly,
it happened all so fast.
775
00:37:01,915 --> 00:37:05,223
So much for relaxing
during the holidays, huh?
776
00:37:05,310 --> 00:37:07,921
Does this have something to do
with whosie-whatsit?
777
00:37:08,051 --> 00:37:10,184
Parker? No.
778
00:37:10,271 --> 00:37:12,317
I mean, okay, he's running
against me, but has no--
779
00:37:12,404 --> 00:37:14,275
Yeah, I saw that
in the paper, too.
780
00:37:14,362 --> 00:37:17,191
There was a photo of him.
The guy looks like a model.
781
00:37:17,278 --> 00:37:19,846
He's not a model.
He wishes he was a model.
782
00:37:19,976 --> 00:37:22,457
No model is worth changing
your whole life plan, Julia.
783
00:37:22,544 --> 00:37:25,721
Okay, I made that mistake
2.5 times.
784
00:37:25,808 --> 00:37:28,507
- What's the 0.5?
- Catalogue model.
785
00:37:28,594 --> 00:37:30,378
Okay, just come back home
to Boston
786
00:37:30,509 --> 00:37:32,337
and I'll get you back on track.
787
00:37:32,424 --> 00:37:34,556
I can help you prep
with your interview with Gwen.
788
00:37:34,643 --> 00:37:36,036
Okay, you have to admit,
789
00:37:36,123 --> 00:37:37,516
being mayor would be
a great experience.
790
00:37:37,603 --> 00:37:40,040
- And if I run next time--
- Ooh. If?
791
00:37:40,170 --> 00:37:42,956
I-if? When did running again
become an if?
792
00:37:43,086 --> 00:37:44,740
Don't freak out,
you're the one who said
793
00:37:44,827 --> 00:37:46,873
I should keep my options open.
794
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:49,441
I know that North Falls is
a small town, but being mayor
795
00:37:49,528 --> 00:37:51,965
is still a step up
from city council, Lucy.
796
00:37:52,052 --> 00:37:54,837
You might have a point. Okay,
I think we can work this out.
797
00:37:54,924 --> 00:37:57,187
I'll figure out a way
to spin it.
798
00:37:57,275 --> 00:38:00,234
There's nothing to spin.
I wanna serve my community.
799
00:38:00,321 --> 00:38:02,236
Why can't that community be
North Falls?
800
00:38:02,367 --> 00:38:06,893
What if this job is your chance
at Washington, Julia?
801
00:38:07,023 --> 00:38:08,460
Just take the meeting, you know,
802
00:38:08,590 --> 00:38:11,289
even if you are running
for mayor.
803
00:38:11,376 --> 00:38:14,379
Fine, but I need to be back
for my victory party.
804
00:38:14,509 --> 00:38:16,468
Okay, I love
that we're visualizing a win.
805
00:38:16,555 --> 00:38:18,339
But just be realistic, okay?
806
00:38:18,426 --> 00:38:21,690
I'll see you in Boston.
I promise.
807
00:38:36,749 --> 00:38:38,925
Let's just go.
808
00:38:41,536 --> 00:38:43,451
Did you tweak tables
so you can spy on me?
809
00:38:43,582 --> 00:38:45,540
Maybe I was the one in charge
of the table assignments.
810
00:38:45,671 --> 00:38:47,673
Who knows how these things work?
It's weird.
811
00:38:47,803 --> 00:38:50,676
Either way,
it was to spy on you.
812
00:38:50,806 --> 00:38:51,851
Hi, Jax.
813
00:38:53,983 --> 00:38:55,507
Uh, here,
let me help you with that.
814
00:38:56,812 --> 00:38:58,553
Thanks, Jax.
815
00:38:58,684 --> 00:38:59,815
Why weren't you like that
in high school?
816
00:38:59,902 --> 00:39:01,426
I was moody and misunderstood.
817
00:39:01,513 --> 00:39:03,645
- So emo.
- I was brooding.
818
00:39:03,776 --> 00:39:05,473
Are we still talking about you?
819
00:39:09,521 --> 00:39:11,653
Oh.
820
00:39:11,740 --> 00:39:13,873
Forgot the rest of the calendars
in the car.
821
00:39:14,003 --> 00:39:15,614
- I'll get them.
- No, no, it's fine. It's fine.
822
00:39:15,701 --> 00:39:18,225
I got it.
You're already settled.
823
00:39:22,403 --> 00:39:24,492
Uh, so do you live
with your aunt?
824
00:39:24,623 --> 00:39:26,494
No, um, my mom's
out of town for work,
825
00:39:26,625 --> 00:39:28,540
so I'm staying at my grandma's.
826
00:39:28,670 --> 00:39:31,499
Oh. Vote Julia Chen for mayor.
Thanks.
827
00:39:34,067 --> 00:39:36,635
- You're still a type-A.
- Proudly.
828
00:39:54,566 --> 00:39:56,437
Look at us.
829
00:39:56,568 --> 00:39:58,134
Right?
830
00:39:58,221 --> 00:39:59,571
You look cute.
831
00:39:59,701 --> 00:40:02,182
You did. You, you did look...
832
00:40:02,312 --> 00:40:04,880
You, you work here... You work.
833
00:40:04,967 --> 00:40:07,100
It's not like it's....
834
00:40:08,667 --> 00:40:10,973
That was great English.
835
00:40:11,104 --> 00:40:12,235
It's a good photo.
836
00:40:14,237 --> 00:40:17,763
You have to admit,
we had a blast even if I...
837
00:40:17,893 --> 00:40:20,287
drove you out of your mind.
838
00:40:20,374 --> 00:40:24,291
Yeah. I mean,
you weren't that horrible.
839
00:40:24,422 --> 00:40:25,858
Okay.
840
00:40:25,988 --> 00:40:28,730
- Mm-hmm.
- Thank you, I think.
841
00:40:28,817 --> 00:40:31,603
Okay, let me
spin that into a positive.
842
00:40:31,733 --> 00:40:35,258
- Ah, like a good politician.
- Mm-hmm.
843
00:40:35,345 --> 00:40:38,914
There were times where you were
actually pretty tolerable.
844
00:40:39,001 --> 00:40:40,612
- Tolerable?
- Yeah.
845
00:40:40,742 --> 00:40:43,789
A half compliment
from Julia Chen. I'll take it.
846
00:40:46,182 --> 00:40:48,750
Wait, wait, wait.
847
00:40:48,837 --> 00:40:50,883
Wasn't this your locker?
848
00:40:50,970 --> 00:40:52,667
You remember
where my locker was?
849
00:40:52,754 --> 00:40:56,671
I do, because mine
was right at the end there,
850
00:40:56,758 --> 00:40:59,544
and I might have seen you
flirting with Travis Hart...
851
00:40:59,631 --> 00:41:01,937
- Oh, what?
- A time or two. Yeah.
852
00:41:02,024 --> 00:41:05,419
I wasn't flirting. Oh, no,
I don't even know how to flirt.
853
00:41:05,550 --> 00:41:06,855
- Really?
- Yes.
854
00:41:06,986 --> 00:41:09,162
What was this?
855
00:41:11,686 --> 00:41:14,950
"Travis, my locker is stuck.
Can you help me?"
856
00:41:15,037 --> 00:41:18,432
Okay, that did happen.
But my locker was really stuck.
857
00:41:18,519 --> 00:41:20,434
Okay.
858
00:41:20,565 --> 00:41:22,654
Wow, you got a good memory.
859
00:41:28,964 --> 00:41:32,185
- Hm.
- What are you looking for?
860
00:41:32,315 --> 00:41:35,884
All my life goals
used to be written right here.
861
00:41:36,015 --> 00:41:37,669
- Guess they wiped them away.
- Hm.
862
00:41:39,540 --> 00:41:41,673
Have they changed?
863
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:43,979
Well, I mean,
I don't intend on marrying
864
00:41:44,066 --> 00:41:47,896
a member of NSYNC,
so, yeah, maybe a little.
865
00:41:47,983 --> 00:41:49,985
I would have taken you
for a Backstreet Boys girl.
866
00:41:50,116 --> 00:41:52,074
A Backstreet Boys girl?
- Just from what I know about ya.
867
00:41:52,205 --> 00:41:53,032
So much.
868
00:41:54,903 --> 00:41:56,078
Thank you. Take these.
869
00:41:56,209 --> 00:41:57,776
Okay. For you. Enjoy.
870
00:41:57,906 --> 00:42:00,300
Thank you so much.
871
00:42:00,430 --> 00:42:02,520
Are you bribing people
to come to your sock hop?
872
00:42:02,607 --> 00:42:05,305
My platform is based
on community outreach.
873
00:42:05,435 --> 00:42:07,960
Everyone needs a pair of socks,
so one might say
874
00:42:08,047 --> 00:42:10,136
I'm doing a service.
Here you go.
875
00:42:10,223 --> 00:42:12,442
Okay.
876
00:42:12,530 --> 00:42:15,576
I see you live up to your word,
a 100 percent recycled paper.
877
00:42:15,663 --> 00:42:18,013
Yup.
And it's a dual-purpose item.
878
00:42:18,100 --> 00:42:19,406
You know,
everyone needs a calendar,
879
00:42:19,537 --> 00:42:22,148
so one might say
I'm doing a service, too.
880
00:42:22,278 --> 00:42:25,151
With a toy drive
scheduled on Christmas Eve?
881
00:42:25,281 --> 00:42:28,850
Yeah. Told you I would have
an event. That's it, so...
882
00:42:28,981 --> 00:42:30,460
Well, you know the whole town
has been coming to the barn
883
00:42:30,548 --> 00:42:31,940
for, like, 40 years.
884
00:42:32,071 --> 00:42:33,507
Okay, I'm aware,
but that's because
885
00:42:33,594 --> 00:42:35,248
they've never had
any other options.
886
00:42:35,335 --> 00:42:37,032
There's a difference
between options
887
00:42:37,119 --> 00:42:38,425
and splitting the town apart.
888
00:42:38,556 --> 00:42:40,514
I am not trying to split
the town apart.
889
00:42:40,601 --> 00:42:42,560
Okay? I'm just trying
to give them choices.
890
00:42:45,824 --> 00:42:47,434
People should be together
on Christmas Eve.
891
00:42:49,828 --> 00:42:51,090
Whatever, Parker.
892
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:05,800
Ooh, what about the town square?
893
00:43:05,887 --> 00:43:07,367
Isn't it at night?
We would freeze.
894
00:43:07,454 --> 00:43:09,108
How about
the high school?
895
00:43:09,238 --> 00:43:12,633
Parker's high school?
896
00:43:12,764 --> 00:43:13,939
I mean, he has his hands
in everything.
897
00:43:14,026 --> 00:43:15,767
No wonder the mayor
sided with him.
898
00:43:15,854 --> 00:43:17,856
What are you talking about?
899
00:43:17,986 --> 00:43:20,336
Mayor Rodriguez suggested
we do joint events so that
900
00:43:20,423 --> 00:43:22,730
the whole town could be there
when she reads the results.
901
00:43:22,817 --> 00:43:24,602
She might have a point, honey.
902
00:43:24,689 --> 00:43:27,343
Some people are afraid
of change, especially in a town
903
00:43:27,474 --> 00:43:29,563
where tradition
is their livelihood.
904
00:43:29,650 --> 00:43:32,392
Mom, I'm not trying to change
our tradition.
905
00:43:32,479 --> 00:43:35,917
Okay, I just wanna give people
a chance to make new ones.
906
00:43:36,004 --> 00:43:38,441
Besides, if I go to the barn,
it'll be all about Parker.
907
00:43:38,572 --> 00:43:40,226
That's exactly what he wants.
908
00:43:40,356 --> 00:43:43,359
That's not the Parker
I've come to know, Julia.
909
00:43:43,490 --> 00:43:45,579
If you stop letting the past
cloud your judgment,
910
00:43:45,666 --> 00:43:47,450
you'd see that.
911
00:43:47,537 --> 00:43:49,975
Okay, I know
a thing or two about politics,
912
00:43:50,062 --> 00:43:51,933
and Parker is playing
straight from the manual.
913
00:43:52,020 --> 00:43:54,675
This is North Falls,
not House Of Cards.
914
00:43:54,762 --> 00:43:57,547
And Parker isn't Luke.
915
00:43:57,635 --> 00:43:59,375
He's not intimidated
by strong women.
916
00:43:59,506 --> 00:44:02,596
- Wait, Luke? Who's Luke?
- Yeah, who's Luke?
917
00:44:02,683 --> 00:44:04,424
Julia's ex-fiance.
918
00:44:04,554 --> 00:44:07,688
Oh, Luke. My ex-fiance.
919
00:44:07,775 --> 00:44:11,126
You know, it's okay to open up
and trust people.
920
00:44:11,213 --> 00:44:13,215
I'm doing the toy drive, okay?
921
00:44:13,302 --> 00:44:14,564
The kids of North Falls
need that
922
00:44:14,652 --> 00:44:16,349
more than they need a sock hop.
923
00:44:16,479 --> 00:44:18,046
Now, that I agree with,
just take
924
00:44:18,133 --> 00:44:20,092
Parker out of the whole equation.
925
00:44:20,179 --> 00:44:22,137
How am I supposed to do that?
926
00:44:22,224 --> 00:44:24,444
I'm running against him.
I mean, he's all I think about.
927
00:44:24,531 --> 00:44:26,359
That's abundantly clear.
928
00:44:28,056 --> 00:44:30,319
Ask yourself
why are you doing this.
929
00:44:30,450 --> 00:44:33,453
Focus on that, and you'll get
all the answers you need.
930
00:44:33,583 --> 00:44:36,325
I'm trying, but then
he says or does something,
931
00:44:36,412 --> 00:44:38,545
and I go right back to acting
like I'm in high school.
932
00:44:38,632 --> 00:44:40,242
So basically you're saying
933
00:44:40,329 --> 00:44:41,896
nothing changes
after high school?
934
00:44:41,983 --> 00:44:44,290
It changes. I promise.
935
00:44:44,377 --> 00:44:46,858
I'm not the same person as I was
back then.
936
00:44:46,945 --> 00:44:50,557
And if you've changed,
is it possible Parker has, too?
937
00:44:57,433 --> 00:44:58,565
All right same deal,
guys.
938
00:44:58,652 --> 00:45:00,219
Bounce! Right-hand bounce.
939
00:45:00,349 --> 00:45:02,874
There we go. Dig. Dig. Dig. Dig.
940
00:45:02,961 --> 00:45:05,441
Right hand. Get low.
That's what I'm talking about.
941
00:45:05,572 --> 00:45:06,878
Jax, eyes up.
942
00:45:07,008 --> 00:45:10,142
Really good work. Dig. Dig. Dig.
943
00:45:10,229 --> 00:45:11,709
Keep pushing, guys.
944
00:45:13,928 --> 00:45:15,408
All right. All right. All right.
945
00:45:21,501 --> 00:45:23,372
Great job, guys.
Uh, water break.
946
00:45:30,292 --> 00:45:32,164
Figured you'd be here.
947
00:45:32,251 --> 00:45:33,948
If you came here looking
to continue our argument--
948
00:45:34,079 --> 00:45:35,428
You really have made
a positive impact
949
00:45:35,558 --> 00:45:37,517
to the people in this town.
950
00:45:37,604 --> 00:45:39,258
Just came here to tell you that.
951
00:45:44,785 --> 00:45:46,047
So, no apology?
952
00:45:50,617 --> 00:45:54,664
Joke. It was, it was a bad joke.
953
00:45:54,752 --> 00:45:57,102
I did forget to tell you
one thing.
954
00:45:58,625 --> 00:45:59,757
Let me see this.
955
00:46:08,156 --> 00:46:10,768
- I'm still gonna beat you.
- All right, bring it on, Chen.
956
00:46:10,855 --> 00:46:12,770
Um, yeah, she's on my team!
957
00:46:12,900 --> 00:46:15,816
All right, here we go, guys,
four on four. Julia, you're in.
958
00:46:32,615 --> 00:46:33,573
Close.
959
00:47:05,126 --> 00:47:06,606
You know, it's bad enough
they smoke me every time,
960
00:47:06,736 --> 00:47:08,173
now you have to help them?
961
00:47:08,303 --> 00:47:11,002
Hey, they didn't need my help.
962
00:47:11,089 --> 00:47:12,568
They're all pretty much
superheroes.
963
00:47:12,655 --> 00:47:14,266
- Right?
- You know...
964
00:47:14,353 --> 00:47:16,311
It's clear they feel
the same way about you.
965
00:47:18,618 --> 00:47:19,837
All right, watch this.
966
00:47:22,709 --> 00:47:24,929
- That game was just my warm-up.
- Oh!
967
00:47:25,059 --> 00:47:26,147
- Okay?
- Okay.
968
00:47:29,716 --> 00:47:32,327
And that's how you guys lost.
969
00:47:34,852 --> 00:47:36,201
- What happened?
- Uh, don't worry.
970
00:47:36,331 --> 00:47:37,985
They'll come back on.
They always do.
971
00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:46,515
See? Clockwork.
972
00:47:46,602 --> 00:47:49,867
Okay, this place needs some TLC.
973
00:47:49,997 --> 00:47:53,871
Well, the electrical system
is as old as the building,
974
00:47:53,958 --> 00:47:56,134
but city council
would rather spend money
975
00:47:56,221 --> 00:47:58,876
on creating
an authentic holiday experience.
976
00:47:59,006 --> 00:48:02,488
A rundown gym for local kids
is somehow not as important
977
00:48:02,618 --> 00:48:06,274
as a new gazebo
and a tree-lighting ceremony.
978
00:48:06,361 --> 00:48:09,538
Uh, what about everybody
that lives here all year round?
979
00:48:09,669 --> 00:48:13,238
Authentic is one thing,
but, Parker, this is rundown.
980
00:48:16,458 --> 00:48:19,374
So why didn't you make this
a part of your campaign?
981
00:48:19,461 --> 00:48:22,682
Because my campaign is focused
on community outreach.
982
00:48:22,812 --> 00:48:24,292
As far as I'm concerned,
nothing is more important--
983
00:48:24,379 --> 00:48:27,208
Okay, I get it,
but the gym is a part of that.
984
00:48:36,957 --> 00:48:39,612
Okay, how about
985
00:48:39,742 --> 00:48:41,962
I make it a part of my campaign?
986
00:48:42,049 --> 00:48:43,616
Right, we can do
the toy drive here.
987
00:48:43,703 --> 00:48:48,055
We can, um, we can get raffles
and, um, sponsors.
988
00:48:48,142 --> 00:48:49,970
We can use that money
to fix this place up.
989
00:48:50,101 --> 00:48:53,626
In an eco-friendly way,
of course.
990
00:48:53,756 --> 00:48:55,976
Look, I guess it's worth a shot.
991
00:48:56,063 --> 00:48:58,152
But honestly, I don't know
if it's gonna do anything.
992
00:48:58,239 --> 00:49:00,502
Well, all we can do is try.
Right?
993
00:49:00,633 --> 00:49:01,851
We have to bring awareness
to the problem
994
00:49:01,982 --> 00:49:03,549
before we can fix it.
995
00:49:03,636 --> 00:49:05,029
And we're gonna need people
to do the work,
996
00:49:05,159 --> 00:49:09,598
so it fits perfectly
with my jobs program.
997
00:49:09,685 --> 00:49:12,645
I don't know if it's gonna work,
but I like your enthusiasm.
998
00:49:15,648 --> 00:49:18,172
He's pretty great, huh?
999
00:49:18,259 --> 00:49:20,479
Even if he's not 6"4.
1000
00:49:20,566 --> 00:49:23,090
We're, we're just friends.
1001
00:49:23,221 --> 00:49:26,702
So if you're just friends,
why are you avoiding him?
1002
00:49:26,833 --> 00:49:28,661
I'm not avoiding him.
1003
00:49:28,748 --> 00:49:31,794
Yeah, I'm just busy
with this wreath.
1004
00:49:31,925 --> 00:49:34,667
Noah, I've got these wreaths.
1005
00:49:39,411 --> 00:49:40,978
Living is so challenging.
1006
00:49:44,851 --> 00:49:45,983
You look great.
1007
00:49:56,254 --> 00:49:58,473
Hi. You look happy.
1008
00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:00,998
I am. What are you doing here?
1009
00:50:01,128 --> 00:50:02,260
Thought you could use some help.
1010
00:50:02,347 --> 00:50:04,218
That's nice of you.
1011
00:50:04,305 --> 00:50:06,046
But we're almost finished.
1012
00:50:06,133 --> 00:50:08,570
Wait, shouldn't you be out
canvassing?
1013
00:50:08,701 --> 00:50:10,268
I don't want you to miss out
on any votes.
1014
00:50:10,355 --> 00:50:12,922
Well, I could say the same
for you.
1015
00:50:13,053 --> 00:50:16,709
I'm sure Jax and Mr. Smooth
could finish up.
1016
00:50:16,839 --> 00:50:19,712
No. This is where I wanna be.
1017
00:50:19,842 --> 00:50:22,454
And this place looks amazing.
1018
00:50:22,584 --> 00:50:25,283
I, I can't believe
how much you guys have done
1019
00:50:25,413 --> 00:50:27,067
in such a short time.
1020
00:50:27,154 --> 00:50:30,897
You know, my last campaign
1021
00:50:30,984 --> 00:50:34,205
was all about shaking hands
and making speeches.
1022
00:50:34,292 --> 00:50:36,424
And it was so exhausting
that I think I forgot
1023
00:50:36,511 --> 00:50:38,209
why I was doing it
in the first place.
1024
00:50:39,775 --> 00:50:42,387
Then I came back here and, um...
1025
00:50:43,431 --> 00:50:44,693
I remembered.
1026
00:50:49,524 --> 00:50:53,006
Anyways, I, uh, I need a place
for my toy drive,
1027
00:50:53,137 --> 00:50:55,269
so it's a win-win.
1028
00:50:55,356 --> 00:50:57,576
Well, if this turns out
as well as I think it will,
1029
00:50:57,706 --> 00:50:59,708
I might just have to crash
this party.
1030
00:50:59,795 --> 00:51:02,189
- Crash my party, Parker?
- I might just have--
1031
00:51:02,320 --> 00:51:04,800
- Stay away! Mm-hmm.
- It looks like a pretty party.
1032
00:51:04,931 --> 00:51:07,803
Aww... It's so cute
when old people flirt.
1033
00:51:10,763 --> 00:51:12,330
Yeah, and then it was...
1034
00:51:12,417 --> 00:51:14,201
My grandma thinks that
they fell for each other
1035
00:51:14,332 --> 00:51:15,724
when they were our age.
1036
00:51:15,811 --> 00:51:18,553
- Ugh! Cheesy.
- So cheesy.
1037
00:51:18,640 --> 00:51:21,339
- Uh, what are they doing?
- I have no idea.
1038
00:51:21,469 --> 00:51:23,993
Oh, is he dancing again?
Oh, yeah.
1039
00:51:24,124 --> 00:51:26,605
They need to stop.
Uh, it's embarrassing.
1040
00:51:28,389 --> 00:51:30,652
- Doing it now? It's time?
- I am.
1041
00:51:30,783 --> 00:51:34,439
Okay, all right.
Gather up, everyone. Focus.
1042
00:51:34,526 --> 00:51:38,225
Ready? Three, two, one.
1043
00:51:38,356 --> 00:51:41,402
- Hey!
- Hey! Wow!
1044
00:51:41,533 --> 00:51:44,710
Guys, I can't thank you enough
for helping out today.
1045
00:51:44,797 --> 00:51:46,886
I mean, look at this place!
1046
00:51:46,973 --> 00:51:49,106
Hey, everyone,
a round of applause for Julia.
1047
00:51:52,892 --> 00:51:55,721
Flip-flops or toe shoes?
1048
00:51:55,808 --> 00:51:59,246
- Oh. Flip-flops.
- Yeah, okay.
1049
00:52:00,987 --> 00:52:02,467
I don't want this day to end.
1050
00:52:03,903 --> 00:52:05,252
Well, it's not over yet.
1051
00:52:07,036 --> 00:52:10,257
- Come on. Gents.
- What are you guys up to?
1052
00:52:10,344 --> 00:52:12,129
What are you guys up to?
1053
00:52:18,004 --> 00:52:20,615
♪ Joy to the world
the Lord is come ♪
1054
00:52:20,746 --> 00:52:23,140
♪ Let Earth receive ♪
1055
00:52:23,227 --> 00:52:24,880
You know, all of this
is really helping Noah forget
1056
00:52:24,967 --> 00:52:27,970
his mom might not be home
for Christmas.
1057
00:52:28,101 --> 00:52:30,582
I'm sure having Jax around,
it doesn't hurt much either.
1058
00:52:30,669 --> 00:52:34,760
♪ Heaven and nature sing
and heaven and nature sing ♪
1059
00:52:34,847 --> 00:52:39,765
♪ And heaven and heaven
and nature sing ♪
1060
00:52:39,852 --> 00:52:41,419
- Yeah! Whoo!
- Whoo!
1061
00:52:49,122 --> 00:52:51,037
They make love look so easy.
1062
00:52:53,518 --> 00:52:56,173
Why didn't you date anyone
in high school?
1063
00:52:58,827 --> 00:53:02,701
Um, too busy, I guess.
1064
00:53:04,616 --> 00:53:07,140
But you weren't, were you?
1065
00:53:07,271 --> 00:53:09,142
You had Laura Combs.
1066
00:53:09,229 --> 00:53:11,536
Laura Combs? No.
1067
00:53:11,666 --> 00:53:13,625
- Come on. You two dated.
- No.
1068
00:53:13,712 --> 00:53:15,975
No, no, no. Absolutely not.
1069
00:53:16,062 --> 00:53:18,195
I saw you two
at the Christmas Eve Sock Hop,
1070
00:53:18,282 --> 00:53:19,892
senior year.
1071
00:53:20,022 --> 00:53:22,416
Slow dancing and then a kiss.
1072
00:53:22,547 --> 00:53:23,374
Okay.
1073
00:53:24,984 --> 00:53:27,247
This is what actually happened.
1074
00:53:27,334 --> 00:53:29,902
She asked me to dance,
1075
00:53:29,989 --> 00:53:32,426
we were under the mistletoe,
1076
00:53:32,513 --> 00:53:34,515
she leaned in, I panicked.
1077
00:53:35,821 --> 00:53:36,909
We kissed.
1078
00:53:38,650 --> 00:53:40,565
But that was it,
it didn't mean anything.
1079
00:53:42,784 --> 00:53:45,439
How do you even remember that?
1080
00:53:45,526 --> 00:53:48,225
It was memorable...
1081
00:53:48,312 --> 00:53:50,227
because I wanted to be
in her place.
1082
00:53:55,319 --> 00:53:58,278
You know, that's why I haven't
been in a sock hop since.
1083
00:53:58,409 --> 00:54:01,890
That's why
you stopped talking to me?
1084
00:54:02,021 --> 00:54:04,415
I was pretty beat up about that
if you wanna know the truth.
1085
00:54:04,502 --> 00:54:07,983
I was gonna tell you I liked you
that night, but then...
1086
00:54:08,070 --> 00:54:10,986
- Laura.
- Laura.
1087
00:54:11,117 --> 00:54:12,510
You know,
I had a whole speech planned
1088
00:54:12,640 --> 00:54:15,077
with the pros and cons
of us being together.
1089
00:54:15,164 --> 00:54:18,603
You modeled your love profession
after a debate round?
1090
00:54:18,690 --> 00:54:20,169
It seemed very logical to me.
Okay.
1091
00:54:20,257 --> 00:54:22,694
And "love"
is pushing it a little.
1092
00:54:22,824 --> 00:54:25,174
Don't let your head get all big
over this. Okay?
1093
00:54:25,262 --> 00:54:27,351
- That was a long time ago.
Ahem.
1094
00:54:27,438 --> 00:54:29,266
- Uh...
- Yes, Jax?
1095
00:54:29,396 --> 00:54:31,616
- We wanna take a photo.
- Sure.
1096
00:54:31,703 --> 00:54:33,705
I mean, photos are a big part
of the campaign trail.
1097
00:54:33,835 --> 00:54:36,490
So go ahead. You wanna
just shoot us right here?
1098
00:54:36,577 --> 00:54:38,144
- How do I look?
- You look great.
1099
00:54:39,450 --> 00:54:41,974
Oh-oh, we-we meant of-of us.
1100
00:54:42,104 --> 00:54:44,977
- Like, take a photo of us.
- Yeah.
1101
00:54:45,064 --> 00:54:46,674
- That's what... That's what...
- Yeah, of course.
1102
00:54:46,805 --> 00:54:48,023
- We knew that.
- That's what we meant.
1103
00:54:48,154 --> 00:54:48,981
- We'll take a photo of you.
- Yeah.
1104
00:54:49,111 --> 00:54:51,288
Cool.
1105
00:54:51,375 --> 00:54:53,072
Well, how do I turn off
the flash?
1106
00:54:53,159 --> 00:54:55,640
Turn off the flash?
It's right there.
1107
00:54:55,727 --> 00:54:57,903
Since when does it take
two people to take a photo?
1108
00:54:57,990 --> 00:54:59,818
- Apparently, today.
- Yeah.
1109
00:54:59,905 --> 00:55:02,211
How about you guys join us?
1110
00:55:02,299 --> 00:55:04,431
Come. N-n-no, no, it's all good.
1111
00:55:04,518 --> 00:55:06,651
Come, come, come.
We'll-we'll show you.
1112
00:55:06,781 --> 00:55:09,088
- I mean, if you guys insist.
- We'll show you all the way.
1113
00:55:09,218 --> 00:55:11,177
- Come on, come on, come on.
- Only because you asked.
1114
00:55:11,264 --> 00:55:13,440
- Okay? It's fine.
- All right, let's get everyone.
1115
00:55:13,571 --> 00:55:15,790
- So it's the button at the top--
- I'm gonna smack you.
1116
00:55:15,921 --> 00:55:18,837
Everyone's in? All right,
lean in. Ready, one, two, three.
1117
00:55:21,187 --> 00:55:23,624
All right. Thank you.
1118
00:55:23,711 --> 00:55:26,497
- Thank you.
- Well, good job, you guys.
1119
00:55:26,584 --> 00:55:29,891
Okay, well, we should call it.
We have our debate tomorrow.
1120
00:55:29,978 --> 00:55:32,154
Debate? What debate?
1121
00:55:32,241 --> 00:55:34,592
Shoot, sorry. I think I forgot
to send you that email.
1122
00:55:34,679 --> 00:55:37,290
I was hanging out with Jax.
1123
00:55:37,421 --> 00:55:38,683
What were you guys doing?
1124
00:55:38,770 --> 00:55:40,206
- Shopping.
1125
00:55:40,293 --> 00:55:42,295
- Toy drive.
- Shopping.
1126
00:55:42,382 --> 00:55:45,603
- We were, I mean, together.
- Hanging out.
1127
00:55:45,690 --> 00:55:48,040
Pretty clear
that's what you guys were doing.
1128
00:55:48,127 --> 00:55:49,563
- Thanks.
- Sorry.
1129
00:56:04,752 --> 00:56:06,232
This is exciting.
1130
00:56:07,755 --> 00:56:09,670
Is that blazer from high school?
1131
00:56:09,801 --> 00:56:12,107
- It is.
- Still fits.
1132
00:56:12,238 --> 00:56:13,065
Thank you.
1133
00:56:15,110 --> 00:56:16,547
I see you still don't believe
in note cards.
1134
00:56:16,677 --> 00:56:17,983
I see you still over-prepare.
1135
00:56:18,070 --> 00:56:19,767
Well, winging it
1136
00:56:19,854 --> 00:56:21,508
isn't exactly
a winning strategy.
1137
00:56:21,595 --> 00:56:23,597
No, but speaking
from your heart is.
1138
00:56:23,684 --> 00:56:26,034
People would rather hear that
than some canned speech.
1139
00:56:26,165 --> 00:56:28,472
It's only canned if you don't
know what you're talking about.
1140
00:56:28,602 --> 00:56:30,648
Welcome to North Falls
Candy Cane Candidate
1141
00:56:30,778 --> 00:56:32,040
Mayoral Debate!
1142
00:56:35,696 --> 00:56:38,351
We thought it'd be fun
to film in the very classroom
1143
00:56:38,438 --> 00:56:41,006
Julia and Parker faced off
against each other
1144
00:56:41,093 --> 00:56:43,008
in speech and debate
when they were students
1145
00:56:43,095 --> 00:56:44,357
right here at North Falls High.
1146
00:56:44,444 --> 00:56:46,533
- So fun.
- So fun.
1147
00:56:46,664 --> 00:56:50,842
And to the viewers at home,
tomorrow is the big day.
1148
00:56:50,929 --> 00:56:53,888
And I know replacing me
is gonna be tough.
1149
00:56:53,975 --> 00:56:56,325
Impossible, even.
1150
00:56:56,413 --> 00:56:58,371
You might be thinking
to yourself,
1151
00:56:58,502 --> 00:57:02,897
"Why bother?
It's only downhill from here."
1152
00:57:02,984 --> 00:57:04,899
But we're hoping
this little debate will help
1153
00:57:04,986 --> 00:57:07,162
make your decision
a little bit easier.
1154
00:57:07,249 --> 00:57:11,384
So without further ado,
please welcome Julia Chen.
1155
00:57:11,515 --> 00:57:13,212
Try to keep up, and it's okay
if you don't know
1156
00:57:13,299 --> 00:57:14,953
what our steering measures mean.
1157
00:57:18,783 --> 00:57:20,828
I have a vague understanding
of what it means.
1158
00:57:32,666 --> 00:57:33,841
Thank you all
for being here tonight.
1159
00:57:33,972 --> 00:57:36,148
And thank you, mayor,
for having me.
1160
00:57:36,278 --> 00:57:39,020
Next up, standing at 6-foot-2,
1161
00:57:39,151 --> 00:57:41,066
and no signs
of visibly thinning hair,
1162
00:57:41,196 --> 00:57:43,851
it's Parker Conroy!
1163
00:58:12,184 --> 00:58:13,881
Oh, hi, Mr. President.
1164
00:58:14,012 --> 00:58:15,666
Thanks for wishing me luck
on the debate.
1165
00:58:20,888 --> 00:58:22,847
Good luck, candidates.
1166
00:58:22,977 --> 00:58:26,415
Oh, first question is for you,
Parker.
1167
00:58:26,503 --> 00:58:30,376
Mr. Conroy, what makes you
qualify to be our next mayor?
1168
00:58:32,291 --> 00:58:34,032
Uh, good question.
1169
00:58:36,295 --> 00:58:39,254
Uh, does love for my community
count?
1170
00:58:39,341 --> 00:58:41,953
- Absolutely.
1171
00:58:42,083 --> 00:58:45,565
Look, I don't have
any experience in politics.
1172
00:58:45,696 --> 00:58:47,262
- That's true.
That's true.
1173
00:58:47,349 --> 00:58:50,048
But I do have the experience
in helping people.
1174
00:58:50,135 --> 00:58:52,485
I've dedicated
the last ten years of my life
1175
00:58:52,572 --> 00:58:54,226
in service to this community,
1176
00:58:54,313 --> 00:58:56,576
and I will continue to do that
as your mayor.
1177
00:58:56,663 --> 00:58:58,970
So if you want your next mayor
to focus on people
1178
00:58:59,057 --> 00:59:00,711
and not politics...
1179
00:59:00,798 --> 00:59:02,277
Yes.
Yeah.
1180
00:59:02,408 --> 00:59:03,235
I'm your guy.
1181
00:59:08,196 --> 00:59:12,679
Okay, Ms. Chen, uh, this
question is from Ms. Nelson.
1182
00:59:12,810 --> 00:59:14,551
Why would we vote for you
when you've been away
1183
00:59:14,681 --> 00:59:18,076
from North Falls for so long?
1184
00:59:18,163 --> 00:59:19,468
You know, after spending
the holidays with you all
1185
00:59:19,599 --> 00:59:21,601
these past few weeks,
1186
00:59:21,732 --> 00:59:24,082
the bigger question
I have for myself is
1187
00:59:24,169 --> 00:59:25,692
"Why did I leave?"
1188
00:59:25,779 --> 00:59:27,564
I mean, we are a town
steeped in history.
1189
00:59:27,694 --> 00:59:29,522
And I would never change that.
1190
00:59:29,609 --> 00:59:31,524
But we can keep our tradition
1191
00:59:31,611 --> 00:59:34,266
and still make positive changes
for the future.
1192
00:59:34,353 --> 00:59:37,443
I wanna bring sustainable
development to North Falls.
1193
00:59:37,530 --> 00:59:39,663
I wanna commit us
to reducing global warming.
1194
00:59:39,793 --> 00:59:42,970
And by doing that, we can create
more opportunities
1195
00:59:43,057 --> 00:59:47,235
with higher-paying jobs and jobs
that last all year round, right,
1196
00:59:47,366 --> 00:59:49,368
so we wouldn't have to rely on
the Christmas rush to get us by.
1197
00:59:49,455 --> 00:59:51,239
That's a nice sound bite,
Ms. Chen.
1198
00:59:51,370 --> 00:59:54,112
But sustainable development
would need a massive budget.
1199
00:59:54,199 --> 00:59:56,418
How do you plan
on acquiring the funds?
1200
00:59:56,505 --> 00:59:58,290
Well, that's where
my experience in politics
1201
00:59:58,377 --> 01:00:01,554
comes in, Mr. Conroy.
1202
01:00:01,641 --> 01:00:03,382
North Falls needs a mayor
who has experience
1203
01:00:03,469 --> 01:00:05,819
in fund-raising and partnership.
1204
01:00:05,906 --> 01:00:08,126
So thank you for allowing me
to highlight that.
1205
01:00:08,213 --> 01:00:12,086
Now, if I can finish answering
my original question,
1206
01:00:12,217 --> 01:00:14,567
you should vote for me because
I see North Falls for what it is
1207
01:00:14,698 --> 01:00:17,091
and for what it could be.
1208
01:00:17,222 --> 01:00:19,485
Nothing would make me prouder
than to use my experiences
1209
01:00:19,616 --> 01:00:22,314
while away
to serve this community.
1210
01:00:22,444 --> 01:00:23,968
Whoo!
- Thank you.
1211
01:00:25,665 --> 01:00:28,320
Mr. Conroy,
do you have a rebuttal?
1212
01:00:30,801 --> 01:00:33,325
That was pretty good. Um...
1213
01:00:33,455 --> 01:00:34,935
How am I supposed
to follow that?
1214
01:00:42,116 --> 01:00:43,378
That was actually fun.
1215
01:00:43,465 --> 01:00:44,815
Remember prepping
for the speech
1216
01:00:44,945 --> 01:00:46,817
and debate State Championship?
1217
01:00:46,904 --> 01:00:48,035
You were way tougher on me
than the actual competition.
1218
01:00:48,166 --> 01:00:51,169
Wait, but-but you won.
Didn't you?
1219
01:00:51,299 --> 01:00:52,866
- Yes. I did.
- You did. Yes.
1220
01:00:52,953 --> 01:00:55,303
So what you're saying is
I was good for something.
1221
01:00:55,390 --> 01:00:59,046
- Eh, you had your moments.
- Right?
1222
01:00:59,133 --> 01:01:01,788
You know, no one has ever
challenged me the way you did.
1223
01:01:01,875 --> 01:01:04,791
Or do.
1224
01:01:04,878 --> 01:01:06,793
Is that a good thing
or a bad ting?
1225
01:01:08,752 --> 01:01:10,275
Well, debating you back then
taught me
1226
01:01:10,362 --> 01:01:12,538
that my point of view mattered.
1227
01:01:12,669 --> 01:01:13,931
I never would've gotten
into politics
1228
01:01:14,018 --> 01:01:15,628
if I hadn't experienced that.
1229
01:01:15,715 --> 01:01:17,282
Yeah, you would've,
I don't think
1230
01:01:17,369 --> 01:01:18,544
anything could've stopped you.
1231
01:01:20,851 --> 01:01:24,245
How come you never considered
running at the state level?
1232
01:01:24,376 --> 01:01:27,509
I never wanted to leave
North Falls.
1233
01:01:27,596 --> 01:01:31,688
Christmases were, were horrible
for me when I was a kid.
1234
01:01:31,818 --> 01:01:34,212
But that first Christmas
when I moved here
1235
01:01:34,342 --> 01:01:37,432
just, just changed my life.
1236
01:01:37,563 --> 01:01:40,784
I was finally
part of a community.
1237
01:01:40,871 --> 01:01:42,829
That's when I knew
I never wanted to leave.
1238
01:01:46,528 --> 01:01:48,226
I'm starting to wish
I never left.
1239
01:01:50,924 --> 01:01:51,882
Me, too.
1240
01:01:53,971 --> 01:01:57,714
So, why haven't you
gotten married?
1241
01:01:57,801 --> 01:02:00,325
I've dated.
1242
01:02:00,455 --> 01:02:02,980
But I guess you could say,
as cheesy as it sounds,
1243
01:02:03,067 --> 01:02:04,808
I've been married
to North Falls.
1244
01:02:04,938 --> 01:02:06,635
What about you?
1245
01:02:06,723 --> 01:02:09,247
I came close, once.
1246
01:02:10,727 --> 01:02:12,511
But, um,
1247
01:02:12,598 --> 01:02:13,991
it was too hard on him
to have a fiancee
1248
01:02:14,078 --> 01:02:15,427
running for office.
1249
01:02:17,255 --> 01:02:20,911
The arguments
became a distraction.
1250
01:02:20,998 --> 01:02:23,870
And it dawned on me,
I don't think a partner
1251
01:02:23,957 --> 01:02:25,611
is supposed to make
life difficult for you.
1252
01:02:28,179 --> 01:02:30,964
I broke up with him the day
I launched my campaign.
1253
01:02:31,095 --> 01:02:33,358
Sounds like you made
the right decision.
1254
01:02:33,445 --> 01:02:37,144
His loss is North Falls' gain.
1255
01:02:37,231 --> 01:02:38,929
Always lookin'
on the bright side.
1256
01:02:43,977 --> 01:02:47,720
- Thanks for a great night.
- You, too.
1257
01:02:47,851 --> 01:02:49,983
Man, I wish you still had
that love confession speech.
1258
01:02:50,114 --> 01:02:51,463
Come on,
what were some of the pros?
1259
01:02:51,550 --> 01:02:54,031
Okay, no way.
1260
01:02:54,118 --> 01:02:55,772
I've already revealed too much.
1261
01:02:57,295 --> 01:02:59,079
- Night.
- Goodnight.
1262
01:03:15,095 --> 01:03:17,924
- Morning.
- Oh, don't you look sharp?
1263
01:03:18,055 --> 01:03:21,928
Thanks, mom. I gotta head out
to vote before my...
1264
01:03:22,015 --> 01:03:24,713
- I gotta head out to vote.
- I don't think you should go.
1265
01:03:24,801 --> 01:03:28,065
Noah, I have to vote for myself.
What if no one else does?
1266
01:03:28,152 --> 01:03:29,980
You know I'm talking
about the interview.
1267
01:03:32,069 --> 01:03:35,202
I guess you guys all know.
1268
01:03:35,333 --> 01:03:36,464
Well, I was up all night
reading about
1269
01:03:36,551 --> 01:03:38,205
the Prohibit Plastic Coalition,
and they
1270
01:03:38,292 --> 01:03:40,512
are exactly the kind of
partnership we're looking for.
1271
01:03:40,599 --> 01:03:43,907
We? Sounds like Lucy's talking.
1272
01:03:43,994 --> 01:03:46,605
I have to be reasonable. Right?
1273
01:03:46,735 --> 01:03:50,565
I might not win tonight, and
I need to have a back-up plan.
1274
01:03:50,696 --> 01:03:52,437
I'll see you guys tonight
at the toy drive.
1275
01:03:52,567 --> 01:03:54,004
And don't forget to vote.
1276
01:03:57,137 --> 01:03:57,834
Bye.
1277
01:04:02,882 --> 01:04:04,579
You've been stirring that tea
aggressively.
1278
01:04:04,666 --> 01:04:05,624
I know.
1279
01:04:10,107 --> 01:04:11,412
- Yeah. Here we go.
- Thanks.
1280
01:04:11,543 --> 01:04:12,544
There you are.
1281
01:04:15,025 --> 01:04:16,374
This is it.
1282
01:04:42,356 --> 01:04:44,271
- Hi.
- Hi.
1283
01:04:44,358 --> 01:04:47,187
Pretty crazy.
Voting for yourself, huh?
1284
01:04:47,318 --> 01:04:50,147
Yeah. Yeah, pretty crazy.
1285
01:04:50,277 --> 01:04:52,932
I never thought I'd be
in this position, you know?
1286
01:04:53,063 --> 01:04:54,978
Definitely did not see this
coming.
1287
01:04:55,065 --> 01:04:58,024
- Yeah.
- But I'm glad it did.
1288
01:04:58,155 --> 01:05:01,027
No matter what happens.
1289
01:05:01,114 --> 01:05:04,248
So since I won't be
seeing you tonight...
1290
01:05:04,378 --> 01:05:07,512
Feels weird all of a sudden.
1291
01:05:07,599 --> 01:05:10,819
I feel like we've been at this
thing the whole time together.
1292
01:05:10,907 --> 01:05:13,648
- Yeah, it's been fun.
- Yeah.
1293
01:05:13,735 --> 01:05:17,217
I should get
an electric car, for sure.
1294
01:05:17,304 --> 01:05:18,871
You really should.
1295
01:05:18,958 --> 01:05:20,307
What's with
the garment bag?
1296
01:05:20,394 --> 01:05:21,918
You skipping town, Chen?
1297
01:05:22,005 --> 01:05:25,443
I am not skipping exactly.
1298
01:05:25,530 --> 01:05:28,620
Uh, I was kidding, but...
1299
01:05:28,707 --> 01:05:30,927
You really going somewhere?
1300
01:05:31,057 --> 01:05:33,277
Boston. Just for a few hours.
1301
01:05:33,364 --> 01:05:36,845
I've got this meeting,
uh, interview.
1302
01:05:36,976 --> 01:05:38,847
Job thing.
1303
01:05:38,978 --> 01:05:40,458
But, uh, I'll be back
for the toy drive.
1304
01:05:40,545 --> 01:05:43,983
An interview? Wait, what?
1305
01:05:44,114 --> 01:05:45,767
A job thing?
What kind of job thing?
1306
01:05:47,813 --> 01:05:50,468
I was gonna tell you.
1307
01:05:50,555 --> 01:05:54,820
Look, Parker, the last few weeks
have been a whirlwind,
1308
01:05:54,907 --> 01:05:57,562
and I've loved being home.
1309
01:05:57,692 --> 01:06:01,174
Let's be real. My chances
of beating you are slim.
1310
01:06:01,261 --> 01:06:03,960
Right? And then what?
What else is here for me?
1311
01:06:07,050 --> 01:06:08,834
If you don't know, maybe
you should go back to Boston.
1312
01:06:13,491 --> 01:06:15,754
You know what,
I was gonna give you this.
1313
01:06:15,841 --> 01:06:17,799
Thought it'd be a nice reminder
of why we're doing all this.
1314
01:06:17,886 --> 01:06:19,976
Hope you get the job,
if that's what you really want.
1315
01:06:41,823 --> 01:06:43,608
Okay.
1316
01:06:43,738 --> 01:06:48,221
Well, I think the band
has plenty of room up here.
1317
01:06:48,308 --> 01:06:50,832
What do you think, Parker?
1318
01:06:50,919 --> 01:06:53,879
Parker, do we need to make
more room for the band?
1319
01:06:55,663 --> 01:06:56,534
What?
1320
01:06:57,883 --> 01:07:00,016
No, it's-it's fine. It's fine.
1321
01:07:02,061 --> 01:07:05,282
Oh, you've been somewhere else
all afternoon.
1322
01:07:05,369 --> 01:07:08,241
Are you nervous about tonight?
1323
01:07:08,372 --> 01:07:11,549
Julia has a job interview
in Boston.
1324
01:07:13,029 --> 01:07:15,727
Now, that doesn't mean a thing.
1325
01:07:15,814 --> 01:07:19,687
She's probably just covering
her bases, uh, in case you win.
1326
01:07:21,472 --> 01:07:22,908
Do you want to win?
1327
01:07:28,783 --> 01:07:31,395
I'm starting to realize
I have more to lose if I do.
1328
01:07:34,006 --> 01:07:36,574
- Well...
1329
01:07:40,752 --> 01:07:41,927
Jax, what's up?
1330
01:07:44,190 --> 01:07:45,409
Whoa, whoa, whoa, slow down.
1331
01:07:47,193 --> 01:07:48,412
Yeah, I'm coming now.
1332
01:07:49,891 --> 01:07:51,067
Love you.
1333
01:07:54,113 --> 01:07:55,201
Nice chat.
1334
01:07:59,292 --> 01:08:00,859
- What happened?
- We were setting up the tables.
1335
01:08:00,946 --> 01:08:03,035
And all of a sudden
the lights just went out.
1336
01:08:03,122 --> 01:08:05,907
I checked the electrical panel,
but nothing's been tripped.
1337
01:08:06,038 --> 01:08:07,779
I-it's original to the building.
1338
01:08:07,866 --> 01:08:10,347
It was only a matter of time
before it went out.
1339
01:08:10,434 --> 01:08:12,305
There's no way we can have
the toy drive here tonight.
1340
01:08:12,436 --> 01:08:13,872
Well, has anyone
tried calling Julia?
1341
01:08:13,959 --> 01:08:17,223
I tried calling her twice,
but no response.
1342
01:08:17,354 --> 01:08:20,096
I feel like this is my fault,
I knew that panel was faulty
1343
01:08:20,183 --> 01:08:22,968
and I was too caught up
in other things to address it.
1344
01:08:26,145 --> 01:08:28,626
We should have the toy drive
at the barn.
1345
01:08:28,713 --> 01:08:30,236
Forget the sock hop,
we'll make it formal
1346
01:08:30,367 --> 01:08:32,891
and we'll do it
exactly how Julia would want it.
1347
01:08:33,021 --> 01:08:35,285
- Sounds like a plan.
- Jax, you call everyone ya know.
1348
01:08:35,372 --> 01:08:38,070
And tell them to meet us here.
I'm gonna keep trying Julia.
1349
01:08:49,168 --> 01:08:51,257
I should call Noah
to see how it's going.
1350
01:08:53,825 --> 01:08:55,653
Okay.
1351
01:08:58,482 --> 01:09:00,397
Come on.
1352
01:09:00,527 --> 01:09:03,008
Where are you, phone?
1353
01:09:05,358 --> 01:09:06,490
Seriously?
1354
01:09:18,719 --> 01:09:20,721
Wow, this is comin' along
even better than I thought.
1355
01:09:20,808 --> 01:09:23,028
Thanks. We still have
a long way to go.
1356
01:09:23,115 --> 01:09:25,770
Julia had exact plans
for how she wanted everything,
1357
01:09:25,900 --> 01:09:28,338
and I wanna make sure
we follow them to a tee.
1358
01:09:28,425 --> 01:09:31,254
Don't we need to tell people
about the change?
1359
01:09:31,341 --> 01:09:32,951
Yeah, you're right,
a note on the door at the school
1360
01:09:33,038 --> 01:09:35,127
isn't gonna cut it. Any ideas?
1361
01:09:35,214 --> 01:09:37,216
Jax and I will post it on the
high school social-media page.
1362
01:09:37,303 --> 01:09:38,391
That should reach
a lot of people.
1363
01:09:38,478 --> 01:09:39,436
I'll post it on my TikTok.
1364
01:09:39,523 --> 01:09:40,480
I'll post it on Snapchat.
1365
01:09:40,611 --> 01:09:42,265
I'll go live on Clubhouse.
1366
01:09:42,352 --> 01:09:43,570
I have no idea
what Clubhouse is.
1367
01:09:43,657 --> 01:09:44,876
I know.
1368
01:09:46,791 --> 01:09:48,662
I can pass out some fliers.
1369
01:09:48,749 --> 01:09:51,361
What's a flier?
- Really?
1370
01:09:51,448 --> 01:09:52,884
Well, other than that,
I don't think
1371
01:09:52,971 --> 01:09:53,972
there's much more we can do.
1372
01:09:54,059 --> 01:09:55,321
Cross our fingers and hope that
1373
01:09:55,408 --> 01:09:56,757
people show up here
and not there.
1374
01:09:56,888 --> 01:09:58,194
I'm trying her again.
1375
01:10:00,021 --> 01:10:01,197
Do you even know
how to play that?
1376
01:10:08,421 --> 01:10:11,032
Well, hello, Ms. Green-thumb.
1377
01:10:11,119 --> 01:10:12,686
You know I turned
an old football field
1378
01:10:12,773 --> 01:10:14,122
into an outdoor greenhouse
in college.
1379
01:10:14,210 --> 01:10:15,950
Yes, yes, I do know that.
1380
01:10:16,081 --> 01:10:17,996
I saw that
on your campaign website.
1381
01:10:18,083 --> 01:10:19,780
- You did?
- No, no, I didn't.
1382
01:10:19,867 --> 01:10:21,782
'Cause I have a life
and I have a job
1383
01:10:21,869 --> 01:10:24,220
and I have a daughter who is
constantly trying to convince me
1384
01:10:24,307 --> 01:10:26,570
that I am part
of the oppressive class.
1385
01:10:26,657 --> 01:10:29,050
- And how's that going for her?
- Actually not very well.
1386
01:10:32,271 --> 01:10:35,579
So, the, uh,
big election's tonight.
1387
01:10:35,666 --> 01:10:37,711
Lucy tells me
it doesn't look good.
1388
01:10:41,411 --> 01:10:43,543
- It's a close race.
- No, it's not.
1389
01:10:43,630 --> 01:10:45,589
You're in need of a job.
1390
01:10:45,719 --> 01:10:47,895
You're staying with your parents
1391
01:10:47,982 --> 01:10:51,203
and you're flirting with
the hottie from high school,
1392
01:10:51,290 --> 01:10:53,901
who's gonna beat you,
just on his looks alone.
1393
01:10:53,988 --> 01:10:56,077
- It's not a beauty pageant.
- Oh, okay.
1394
01:10:57,296 --> 01:10:58,993
Let me cut to the chase.
1395
01:10:59,124 --> 01:11:02,823
We want you, you need us.
True story.
1396
01:11:02,910 --> 01:11:03,955
So far
I haven't heard much that's
1397
01:11:04,085 --> 01:11:05,522
making me wanna come onboard.
1398
01:11:05,609 --> 01:11:08,699
We both know
this is the right move for you.
1399
01:11:08,829 --> 01:11:11,267
You get a few years
at a successful non-profit
1400
01:11:11,397 --> 01:11:15,096
under your belt, and then
you can run for the big time.
1401
01:11:15,183 --> 01:11:16,794
Isn't that
what you've always wanted?
1402
01:11:18,970 --> 01:11:21,625
I see you in Washington.
1403
01:11:21,712 --> 01:11:24,105
And I know you see it, too.
1404
01:11:24,192 --> 01:11:26,107
This is your best shot
at getting there.
1405
01:11:27,805 --> 01:11:28,893
And because
of our partnership with
1406
01:11:28,980 --> 01:11:30,677
The Prohibit Plastic Coalition,
1407
01:11:30,808 --> 01:11:32,766
you'll get the chance
to draft legislation
1408
01:11:32,897 --> 01:11:35,291
that could really make a
difference for the environment.
1409
01:11:36,988 --> 01:11:39,164
You'd finally be
a real changemaker.
1410
01:11:41,601 --> 01:11:43,429
You really should've led
with that.
1411
01:11:43,516 --> 01:11:46,127
Even if you do win tonight,
you should concede.
1412
01:11:46,258 --> 01:11:48,129
This job's a much better fit.
1413
01:11:49,914 --> 01:11:52,177
Well, can't deny
I'm thinking about it.
1414
01:11:52,264 --> 01:11:54,614
Well, don't take too long.
1415
01:11:54,701 --> 01:11:57,878
I need an answer
before the new year.
1416
01:11:57,965 --> 01:12:00,838
Go on, head on back so you can
make your concession speech.
1417
01:12:02,666 --> 01:12:05,712
- And Merry Christmas.
- Thanks, Gwen.
1418
01:12:05,799 --> 01:12:07,018
Merry Christmas.
1419
01:12:09,542 --> 01:12:13,329
Um, there's something
I wanna talk to you about.
1420
01:12:19,160 --> 01:12:21,728
Julia is going to love it!
1421
01:12:21,815 --> 01:12:23,426
It's picture-perfect.
1422
01:12:23,513 --> 01:12:26,342
I just hope she isn't mad about
us having joint parties.
1423
01:12:26,429 --> 01:12:28,256
Why would she be mad at you?
1424
01:12:28,344 --> 01:12:30,476
The power outage
was not your fault.
1425
01:12:30,563 --> 01:12:32,086
I should've done something about
1426
01:12:32,173 --> 01:12:34,219
the school's issues
a long time ago.
1427
01:12:34,306 --> 01:12:37,178
Parker, she'll appreciate
what you've done for her.
1428
01:12:37,265 --> 01:12:40,138
She'd better,
or I didn't raise her right.
1429
01:12:40,268 --> 01:12:42,836
There's another reason
why she's mad at me. I, um...
1430
01:12:46,536 --> 01:12:50,235
I kind of told her
she should move back to Boston.
1431
01:12:58,809 --> 01:13:01,725
Out of context,
that sounds pretty bad.
1432
01:13:01,812 --> 01:13:05,076
I was upset when I found out
about her interview.
1433
01:13:07,252 --> 01:13:08,819
I guess I was
kind of getting used to the idea
1434
01:13:08,906 --> 01:13:11,648
of her sticking around,
you know?
1435
01:13:11,778 --> 01:13:13,693
You're not the only one.
1436
01:13:13,824 --> 01:13:16,174
I think she's getting
pretty used to the idea herself.
1437
01:13:16,261 --> 01:13:17,088
I don't know.
1438
01:13:19,395 --> 01:13:21,092
She said
there's nothing here for her
1439
01:13:21,179 --> 01:13:22,572
if she doesn't become mayor.
1440
01:13:22,659 --> 01:13:24,965
She doesn't mean it, Parker.
1441
01:13:25,052 --> 01:13:27,577
She faces
so much rejection at work.
1442
01:13:27,707 --> 01:13:30,362
You'd be surprised on how many
doors are slammed in her face
1443
01:13:30,449 --> 01:13:31,972
on a daily basis,
1444
01:13:32,103 --> 01:13:35,585
and she brushes it off
and keeps going.
1445
01:13:35,715 --> 01:13:39,197
But when it comes
to her personal life--
1446
01:13:39,327 --> 01:13:42,243
She would rather be the one
to slam the door first.
1447
01:13:42,330 --> 01:13:43,941
You didn't hear it from me.
1448
01:13:45,333 --> 01:13:46,596
Thank you, Sylvie.
1449
01:13:51,470 --> 01:13:53,124
Thank you.
1450
01:13:53,254 --> 01:13:55,431
Oh, you're a good guy, Parker.
1451
01:13:58,608 --> 01:14:01,088
- Where are you going?
- To get dressed.
1452
01:14:01,175 --> 01:14:03,613
I wanna look decent when
I tell her she can slam the door
1453
01:14:03,743 --> 01:14:06,442
as many times as she wants,
but I'm not going anywhere.
1454
01:14:10,924 --> 01:14:14,014
Come on, don't be mad at me.
I only told her the truth.
1455
01:14:14,101 --> 01:14:16,234
I ran the numbers. I didn't
think you could pull it off.
1456
01:14:16,321 --> 01:14:18,628
Well, aren't you
the election day optimist.
1457
01:14:18,715 --> 01:14:20,325
I tried to warn you, Julia.
1458
01:14:20,456 --> 01:14:22,806
My whole job is to tell it
like it is.
1459
01:14:22,936 --> 01:14:26,462
Oh, and I called your mom about
your phone, still no answer.
1460
01:14:26,549 --> 01:14:28,986
Can't believe
I forgot it. Today of all days.
1461
01:14:32,076 --> 01:14:33,773
All right, are you ready?
1462
01:14:33,860 --> 01:14:35,775
Yeah, come on out.
1463
01:14:38,561 --> 01:14:41,477
Ah, wow.
1464
01:14:41,564 --> 01:14:44,175
Parker is gonna pass out
when he sees you.
1465
01:14:44,262 --> 01:14:46,482
Well, this isn't for Parker.
1466
01:14:46,612 --> 01:14:49,659
And since when did you start
calling him by his actual name?
1467
01:14:49,746 --> 01:14:52,009
When I realized how hard my best
friend was falling for him.
1468
01:14:52,096 --> 01:14:53,619
Okay, that's not what's...
1469
01:14:57,318 --> 01:14:59,843
- I'm so confused.
- I'm not.
1470
01:15:03,847 --> 01:15:04,978
I just...
1471
01:15:11,681 --> 01:15:12,986
From Parker.
1472
01:15:14,161 --> 01:15:15,206
Open it.
1473
01:15:24,345 --> 01:15:28,001
Oh. Wow!
1474
01:15:28,088 --> 01:15:31,178
You two already look like
you've been together forever.
1475
01:15:31,265 --> 01:15:33,659
He said he got this
to remind me.
1476
01:15:33,746 --> 01:15:36,706
Remind you of what?
How hot he is?
1477
01:15:36,793 --> 01:15:39,056
Oh, and how hot you were.
Look at you.
1478
01:15:42,842 --> 01:15:45,062
Uh, Julia,
what's going on up there?
1479
01:15:46,672 --> 01:15:50,284
Uh... Ju... Oh, I was... Okay.
1480
01:15:50,371 --> 01:15:52,548
Julia, am I supposed
to follow you?
1481
01:15:52,635 --> 01:15:54,288
- Ju...
1482
01:15:54,375 --> 01:15:55,551
Okay, um...
1483
01:16:16,354 --> 01:16:17,573
Where is everyone?
1484
01:16:27,060 --> 01:16:28,714
"In case you haven't heard,
the toy drive will be held
1485
01:16:28,845 --> 01:16:30,455
at the Conroy Barn."
1486
01:16:31,456 --> 01:16:32,588
What?
1487
01:16:45,252 --> 01:16:46,602
- Hi.
- Hi.
1488
01:16:48,255 --> 01:16:50,649
- You look so handsome!
- Thank you.
1489
01:16:50,736 --> 01:16:54,653
You look like you just
stepped out of a Pinterest page!
1490
01:16:54,784 --> 01:16:56,873
- When did you get here?
- Just now.
1491
01:16:56,960 --> 01:16:58,526
Wait, what happened
at the high school?
1492
01:16:58,614 --> 01:17:00,920
You didn't hear? We lost power.
1493
01:17:01,051 --> 01:17:03,053
I-I tried calling you,
like, a million times, but I--
1494
01:17:03,140 --> 01:17:04,663
- I left my phone at mom's.
- Yeah.
1495
01:17:04,750 --> 01:17:06,752
Hey, you're gonna love it.
1496
01:17:09,015 --> 01:17:11,409
I gave Parker all your notes,
and he made it look
1497
01:17:11,539 --> 01:17:13,150
just how you wanted.
1498
01:17:20,810 --> 01:17:22,638
I think he made it look
even better.
1499
01:17:32,082 --> 01:17:34,171
- I got that.
- Thank you.
1500
01:17:44,224 --> 01:17:45,312
Hi.
1501
01:17:48,054 --> 01:17:50,448
You look stunning.
1502
01:17:50,535 --> 01:17:53,016
Thank you. So do you.
1503
01:17:54,670 --> 01:17:57,455
And this...
1504
01:17:57,542 --> 01:18:00,197
is even more spectacular
than I could ever imagine.
1505
01:18:00,327 --> 01:18:03,069
Well, you said you wanted
rustic elegance.
1506
01:18:03,200 --> 01:18:05,332
It's the perfect blend
of the both of us.
1507
01:18:07,465 --> 01:18:09,815
I really thought
you were gonna be mad.
1508
01:18:09,946 --> 01:18:12,470
Oh, I was at first.
1509
01:18:12,557 --> 01:18:14,907
And then I wasn't.
1510
01:18:15,038 --> 01:18:17,693
Driving here,
I realized that you've been
1511
01:18:17,823 --> 01:18:20,783
nothing but generous and kind
1512
01:18:20,870 --> 01:18:23,655
and fun this entire campaign.
1513
01:18:23,742 --> 01:18:24,961
I knew there had to be
a reason why
1514
01:18:25,048 --> 01:18:26,658
the toy drive was moved here.
1515
01:18:26,745 --> 01:18:29,052
I would never do anything
to hurt you, Julia.
1516
01:18:30,227 --> 01:18:31,576
I finally get that.
1517
01:18:33,665 --> 01:18:34,884
I'm sorry.
1518
01:18:36,537 --> 01:18:39,236
For what?
You didn't do anything.
1519
01:18:39,366 --> 01:18:41,717
I'm sorry for not seeing you.
1520
01:18:43,980 --> 01:18:45,721
You know, my mom always says,
"When someone shows you
1521
01:18:45,808 --> 01:18:47,897
who they are, believe them."
1522
01:18:49,942 --> 01:18:52,728
I believe you.
1523
01:18:52,858 --> 01:18:56,557
That crack I made about you
moving to Boston, not my style.
1524
01:18:56,644 --> 01:18:58,559
I didn't mean it.
1525
01:18:58,646 --> 01:19:00,213
I know.
1526
01:19:00,300 --> 01:19:01,432
But are you?
1527
01:19:03,086 --> 01:19:04,696
Moving back?
1528
01:19:04,783 --> 01:19:07,133
Merry Christmas,
North Falls!
1529
01:19:10,136 --> 01:19:11,616
- To be seen.
- Sure.
1530
01:19:21,234 --> 01:19:24,237
The time has come to announce
who has the very difficult job
1531
01:19:24,368 --> 01:19:26,109
of filling my shoes.
1532
01:19:27,893 --> 01:19:29,460
We were lucky to have
1533
01:19:29,547 --> 01:19:32,855
two extremely qualified
and capable candidates.
1534
01:19:32,942 --> 01:19:35,292
It was a close race.
1535
01:19:35,379 --> 01:19:37,555
But there can only be one.
1536
01:19:37,685 --> 01:19:39,296
So without further ado,
1537
01:19:39,426 --> 01:19:42,908
the winner by 88 votes is...
1538
01:19:44,431 --> 01:19:45,693
Julia Chen!
1539
01:19:47,521 --> 01:19:50,220
You won. You won.
1540
01:19:50,307 --> 01:19:52,483
Go make a speech.
Give me this. Go!
1541
01:19:59,969 --> 01:20:02,014
Give it up for Mayor Rodriguez!
1542
01:20:03,973 --> 01:20:05,452
You will be missed.
1543
01:20:08,586 --> 01:20:10,457
Wow, um...
1544
01:20:12,111 --> 01:20:14,505
I'm shocked. I mean...
1545
01:20:16,724 --> 01:20:18,378
Look at my opponent.
1546
01:20:18,465 --> 01:20:22,034
He's the town hero.
1547
01:20:22,165 --> 01:20:25,342
Parker Conroy,
thank you for reminding me
1548
01:20:25,429 --> 01:20:27,823
of why I got into politics
in the first place.
1549
01:20:30,129 --> 01:20:31,957
Thank you to my family
1550
01:20:32,088 --> 01:20:34,699
and to all the kids
in the leadership program.
1551
01:20:34,786 --> 01:20:38,007
This event is made possible
because of you.
1552
01:20:38,094 --> 01:20:39,747
And to everyone who donated,
1553
01:20:39,878 --> 01:20:42,968
thank you for giving back
to the community.
1554
01:20:43,099 --> 01:20:45,144
I'm told that the gym
could use it right about now.
1555
01:20:46,972 --> 01:20:51,107
And on that note,
I have some good news.
1556
01:20:51,194 --> 01:20:52,804
Earlier today I had a meeting
1557
01:20:52,891 --> 01:20:54,632
with The Greener Earth
Initiative and told them
1558
01:20:54,719 --> 01:20:57,374
about our plans
to renovate the high school.
1559
01:20:57,461 --> 01:21:00,246
And they have agreed to partner
with North Falls
1560
01:21:00,333 --> 01:21:03,467
and make us Massachusetts'
first sustainable community
1561
01:21:03,554 --> 01:21:06,949
and have donated $50,000!
1562
01:21:07,079 --> 01:21:08,864
Wow. Yeah.
1563
01:21:11,475 --> 01:21:12,998
Thank you, North Falls,
1564
01:21:13,129 --> 01:21:16,697
for entrusting me
with such an important job.
1565
01:21:16,828 --> 01:21:20,527
It will be the greatest joy of
my life to serve this community.
1566
01:21:21,964 --> 01:21:23,617
One last thing.
1567
01:21:23,704 --> 01:21:26,490
As your mayor,
I want us to always honor
1568
01:21:26,620 --> 01:21:29,058
our holiday traditions.
1569
01:21:29,188 --> 01:21:33,105
So, I hope
you all brought your socks!
1570
01:21:33,192 --> 01:21:36,239
Looking good!
She's looking good!
1571
01:21:36,326 --> 01:21:38,806
- Merry Christmas, North Falls!
- Yeah!
1572
01:22:04,006 --> 01:22:05,746
Ms. Mayor.
1573
01:22:05,833 --> 01:22:07,313
I'm gonna have
to get used to that.
1574
01:22:07,400 --> 01:22:08,924
Ah, you're a natural.
1575
01:22:09,054 --> 01:22:10,926
Look at everything
you've already done.
1576
01:22:11,013 --> 01:22:14,494
How did you get
Greener Earth onboard?
1577
01:22:14,581 --> 01:22:17,802
I've been trying to make Boston
a green city my entire career.
1578
01:22:17,889 --> 01:22:20,631
And then I realized that
the only way to make that happen
1579
01:22:20,718 --> 01:22:23,895
is to start with a smaller
test community first.
1580
01:22:23,982 --> 01:22:25,288
Greener Earth agreed.
1581
01:22:27,159 --> 01:22:29,640
Wow. Amazing.
1582
01:22:29,727 --> 01:22:34,297
- Are you okay?
- More than okay.
1583
01:22:34,384 --> 01:22:36,647
I've only ever wanted
what's best for this town.
1584
01:22:36,734 --> 01:22:39,389
And it's clearly you.
1585
01:22:39,476 --> 01:22:41,130
That's why I voted for you.
1586
01:22:43,001 --> 01:22:44,307
You voted for me?
1587
01:22:45,656 --> 01:22:47,136
It was the right choice.
1588
01:22:58,147 --> 01:23:01,193
I taught him all of those moves.
1589
01:23:12,422 --> 01:23:15,207
Excuse me, don't I know you?
1590
01:23:15,338 --> 01:23:16,774
You're home!
1591
01:23:16,904 --> 01:23:18,167
Better late than never.
1592
01:23:19,559 --> 01:23:21,039
And your patient?
1593
01:23:21,126 --> 01:23:23,346
We got her home
just in time for Christmas.
1594
01:23:23,433 --> 01:23:25,913
Then it was worth the wait.
1595
01:23:26,001 --> 01:23:28,612
- And who's this?
- Uh, hi, Noah's mom.
1596
01:23:28,742 --> 01:23:32,094
- I am Jax.
- Family.
1597
01:23:32,181 --> 01:23:33,312
- Merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas.
1598
01:23:33,443 --> 01:23:35,053
- Honey!
- Oh, my God!
1599
01:23:35,140 --> 01:23:38,013
- Oh, my goodness.
- Good to see you home, Stella.
1600
01:23:38,100 --> 01:23:39,666

"Everyone thinks
he should be a model,
1617
01:24:36,245 --> 01:24:38,943
which inflates
his already big ego."
1618
01:24:39,030 --> 01:24:41,554
Hurts my feelings a bit,
but it's true.
1619
01:24:41,685 --> 01:24:43,426
"He makes me happy."
1620
01:24:46,907 --> 01:24:48,909
How is making you happy a con?
1621
01:24:50,998 --> 01:24:54,437
The way I felt about you
back then, it scared me.

01:24:56,700 --> 01:24:58,267
But it doesn't anymore.
1623

I'm not leaving.
1625
01:25:20,767 --> 01:25:23,640
I know. You won the election.
1626
01:25:23,770 --> 01:25:26,425
Parker, I'm not leaving ever.
1627
01:25:28,775 --> 01:25:33,040
I decided to turn down the job
before I even got here tonight.
