00:00:00I didn't know you were coming for Christmas.
00:00:29Me neither.
00:00:30You know, I think you've grown an inch since you last visited me in L.A.
00:00:34I'm actually the shortest in fifth grade, but I make up for it in spirit.
00:00:37I believe it.
00:00:39This reporter says it's not the size of the player that counts, it's the size of their
00:00:43game.
00:00:44Oh, thank you.
00:00:45Mom, look who it is!
00:00:46Oh, Vivian!
00:00:47Mom!
00:00:48Vivian!
00:00:49Hi, Mom.
00:00:51We didn't realize that you were coming.
00:01:00Oh, I wanted to see you guys.
00:01:01I missed you.
00:01:02We missed you, too.
00:01:03How are you doing with everything?
00:01:06Great.
00:01:07You know, single and ready to jingle.
00:01:10Just, you know, I'm happy to be home.
00:01:13Maybe Liv can stay in my room.
00:01:14We can have sleepovers every night.
00:01:17I think your sister might need a little space just to recover after her travels.
00:01:21We kept your room exactly the same.
00:01:23Oh, thank you, Mom.
00:01:24I'm sorry.
00:01:25I should have called.
00:01:26No, don't worry.
00:01:27This is the best surprise.
00:01:28Yes, and you can help us make pie.
00:01:29Oh, I would love to.
00:01:30I'm so glad you're home.
00:01:31Everyone's home for the holiday!
00:01:32Okay, come.
00:01:33Yes, okay.
00:01:34Wow, it looks amazing.
00:01:35I know.
00:01:37This is so A-list.
00:01:38Oh, go ahead.
00:01:39Try it on.
00:01:40Oh, my gosh, I'm so excited.
00:01:41Oh, my gosh, I can't wait to open it.
00:01:42Unreal.
00:01:43Oh.
00:01:44Oh, my gosh.
00:01:45It looks so pretty.
00:01:46I know.
00:01:47It's so pretty.
00:01:48So pretty.
00:01:49Perfect.
00:01:50I know.
00:01:51I love it.
00:01:52It's so pretty.
00:01:53I love it.
00:01:54I love it.
00:01:55It's so pretty.
00:01:56I love it.
00:01:59It's so pretty.
00:02:02Oh, wow, wow, wow, do these look good?
00:02:09They sure do.
00:02:10Hey, and feel free to borrow anything.
00:02:12It's the sister rule.
00:02:14Is this for me?
00:02:16Uh, maybe.
00:02:17I guess you'll have to wait to see.
00:02:19Okay, I know this isn't for me.
00:02:33What isn't for...
00:02:35Sorry.
00:02:36It's okay.
00:02:38Turns out, it's not for me either.
00:02:42I know.
00:02:44You do?
00:02:46Yeah.
00:02:48Did Mom tell you?
00:02:50And the girls at school talk about it.
00:02:52At Twitter, my Facebook news, Mrs. Taylor down the street.
00:02:57Well, they'll forget about it by Christmas.
00:02:59Are you staying until Christmas?
00:03:01Yeah, of course I am.
00:03:02Yes.
00:03:03Let me just unpack a little more, and I'll meet you in the kitchen.
00:03:06I'm so happy you're here.
00:03:08We've missed you so much.
00:03:13Oh, I've missed you too.
00:03:22So we need to make sure we have enough flour.
00:03:26Not too much flour.
00:03:27That's kind of perfect.
00:03:28Okay, now the secret is to work the pastry as little as possible so that it stays tender and flaky, okay?
00:03:35What are you making, Grandma Mary's pumpkin or my personal favorite, North Pole pie?
00:03:40Pumpkin.
00:03:41North Pole pie, I begged your dad to give me the recipe, but it was his secret.
00:03:45But maybe your sister and I can figure out how to cook it while you're here.
00:03:50I love a challenge.
00:03:53There's eight days until Christmas, so once Janie perfects her pie crust recipe, we can start putting in orders.
00:04:00This is just my practice pie.
00:04:02Well, I hope we get to practice eating it.
00:04:05Hang on a second.
00:04:07Does this recipe call for regular milk or condensed milk, huh?
00:04:15Uh, condensed.
00:04:17Oh, that's what I was afraid of.
00:04:19Well, I mean, I can just go to the store.
00:04:21It's kind of a special ingredient.
00:04:22Maybe get two cans, and you can use the truck while you're here.
00:04:25Wait, Dad's truck?
00:04:27You still have it?
00:04:35Well, no one will expect me in this.
00:05:02Oh, Dad.
00:05:04I've really missed these old cities.
00:05:33After you.
00:05:35Rumor has it our very own Olivia O'Hara has a tale for the holidays.
00:05:40If you're lucky, you just might spot her around.
00:05:44Welcome home, Olivia, and Merry Christmas from all of us here at Valley Hill.
00:05:59Aha, found you.
00:06:06Olivia O'Hara?
00:06:10Casey Rollins.
00:06:12We went to high school together.
00:06:14Oh my gosh, Casey.
00:06:16Hi, of course I remember you.
00:06:17How are you?
00:06:18I'm good.
00:06:20Thanks.
00:06:21How are you?
00:06:22Me?
00:06:23Um, yeah, I mean, I'm great.
00:06:25Things are, things are great.
00:06:27That's great.
00:06:29You look great, perfectly framed.
00:06:31Oh, okay.
00:06:35What's it been, ten years?
00:06:36Um, twelve.
00:06:39Wow, time flies.
00:06:41So you're home for the holidays?
00:06:43Um, yes, yes, the holidays.
00:06:45Yeah, I'm definitely home for the holidays.
00:06:49Well, uh, happy holidays.
00:06:55Happy holidays.
00:06:59Okay.
00:07:11Will that be all?
00:07:12Uh, yeah, that's everything.
00:07:13Oh, and the, the hat.
00:07:16Hi.
00:07:17Hi, Gordon, it's Olivia.
00:07:19I know.
00:07:20I'd recognize that smile anywhere.
00:07:23How's your family?
00:07:24Well, the, uh, kids have kids now, and they're all home for Christmas.
00:07:28Wow, well, uh, tell everybody that I said hello.
00:07:31I'll do that.
00:07:33That's, uh, $14.75.
00:07:41Oh, and, uh, one for you, and one for your sister.
00:07:46Merry Christmas, Gordon.
00:07:48This must be my lucky day.
00:08:09Need a hand?
00:08:12Hey.
00:08:13Hey.
00:08:15Pop this for me?
00:08:16Uh, yeah.
00:08:27It sounds like it's not turning over, which makes me think it might be the starter.
00:08:34Well.
00:08:35Yeah, I think you're gonna need a tow.
00:08:39Things just go from bad to worse.
00:08:42Is the snow getting to you already?
00:08:43Oh, no, it's, it's not that.
00:08:45It's just...
00:08:47What?
00:08:48I'm sure you've already heard it's kind of all over the entertainment shows, but...
00:08:52I don't watch much TV.
00:08:54I've got three channels, and two of them are the weather.
00:08:57Oh.
00:08:58Hey, Jim, it's Casey.
00:09:00Yeah, I'm at, uh, Gordon's Groceries with an old friend, and she needs a tow.
00:09:06An hour.
00:09:08Yeah, no, no, I understand.
00:09:10Okay, thanks, Jim.
00:09:12Well, um, I better get walking.
00:09:14I'm on a bit of a timeline, so...
00:09:17It's pretty dark.
00:09:19Can I walk you home?
00:09:21Um, yeah, that'd be great.
00:09:26Perfect.
00:09:27Okay.
00:09:43It's funny I bumped into you.
00:09:46I was just thinking I needed some expert advice.
00:09:49Expert?
00:09:50Mm-mm.
00:09:51Ooh, you know I only play a genius in the movies, right?
00:09:53That's good enough for me.
00:09:55Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:10:01So how would you get a classroom to focus on Shakespearean classics?
00:10:05I'm finding it challenging.
00:10:07But the language, it's so beautiful.
00:10:09It reads like a song.
00:10:11Oh, the kids today, they're different than you are.
00:10:14More than you are.
00:10:16How do you mean?
00:10:17I saw you in all your plays.
00:10:19You were incredible.
00:10:20You know all the words.
00:10:22It's not their fault, though.
00:10:23They're distracted.
00:10:24Literally every answer is under human touch.
00:10:27So analyzing the Shakespearean sonnets, that's tough.
00:10:31But Shakespeare isn't about answers.
00:10:33It's about an experience.
00:10:36Well, when you say it like that, they might actually listen.
00:10:39Ha, ha, ha.
00:10:42Your family sure loves getting in the Christmas spirit.
00:10:44Yeah, they sure do.
00:10:47Is it too much?
00:10:49No, never too much Christmas.
00:10:52You should see my place.
00:10:54Ha, ha, ha.
00:10:57Well, I better get going.
00:11:00It was nice seeing you.
00:11:06Bye, Liv.
00:11:08Uh, Casey.
00:11:10Yeah.
00:11:13Thank you for helping with the truck.
00:11:16Maybe I could visit your students to repay you.
00:11:19Classroom 120, Monday to Friday, pretty much all the time.
00:11:23120, anytime.
00:11:26Got it.
00:11:27Ha, ha.
00:12:04What day is it today?
00:12:05The 17th.
00:12:07Only eight days until Christmas.
00:12:09Oh, my gosh.
00:12:10Ooh.
00:12:12So pretty.
00:12:14There you go.
00:12:16Mom, Dad!
00:12:17Liv's back!
00:12:18Oh, sweet.
00:12:23Olivia, welcome.
00:12:24John, hi!
00:12:27Your mother was worried.
00:12:28I was not.
00:12:30What happened?
00:12:32Oh, the truck broke down.
00:12:34Oh, honey, I'm sorry.
00:12:35It's had problems starting over the last little while.
00:12:38No, it's okay.
00:12:39I really enjoyed my walk home.
00:12:41And the tow truck company will be giving you a call tonight.
00:12:43Well, thank you for sorting that all out.
00:12:46And the pie patrol calls.
00:12:48There is a certain young baker who is thrilled to have you home.
00:12:53We all are.
00:12:55Mom, how many pairs of Clarice Christensen boots do you own?
00:12:58Who?
00:12:59That is what I thought.
00:13:02Thank you for getting the groceries.
00:13:03Oh, yes.
00:13:04It was just really nice being out just shopping.
00:13:06Yeah?
00:13:07Did anyone recognize you?
00:13:08No.
00:13:09Well, actually, everybody recognized me,
00:13:11but not because they've seen me, because they know me.
00:13:13Oh, well, that must be a welcome change.
00:13:15Yeah, it really was.
00:13:16Good.
00:13:17Well, I'll do this in half an hour.
00:13:18Okay.
00:13:28You know, Janie has not stopped talking about Permanator.
00:13:31I was so lucky that she could come and go to the premiere with you
00:13:34and walk the red carpet.
00:13:35Well, we loved it.
00:13:36We saw it five times.
00:13:38You saw a movie about a super girl who uses a curling iron to fight evil five times?
00:13:43I thought it was full of remarkable messages for young girls Janie's age.
00:13:48You have to fight for what you believe in,
00:13:50and our favorite, you can still kick butt on a bad hair day.
00:13:55I actually wrote that line in.
00:13:58I was trying to add some depth, I guess.
00:14:01I knew it.
00:14:02Didn't I say?
00:14:03Some of those lines just sound just like Olivia.
00:14:05You have always been so talented.
00:14:09So, Permanator 2?
00:14:11Yeah, maybe in the summer.
00:14:15You're not excited?
00:14:17I mean, don't get me wrong, those movies are great,
00:14:19but truthfully they're just not feeding my soul anymore.
00:14:24My manager, Laura, keeps telling me that my dream role is right around the corner.
00:14:26It just feels like a very long corner.
00:14:32Judges, I present to you,
00:14:37in the tradition of Grandmother Mary,
00:14:42Janie Wilson, were there any particular difficulties you had to overcome
00:14:46in this pumpkin pie challenge?
00:14:48Yes, at a crucial step in the recipe,
00:14:50halfway through, I found myself missing a key component.
00:14:53Do you mind if we...
00:14:54Luckily, I was able to keep myself and my dough chill enough
00:14:57while my assistant was able to secure the secret ingredient.
00:15:00Well, and I just have to say that I find the presentation of the whipped cream,
00:15:04like, not just on top of the pie, but almost entirely covering it,
00:15:08is a brand new technique for me.
00:15:12I like to give all of my dishes a little snap of my personality.
00:15:15Judges, if you will.
00:15:17Uh-huh, uh-huh.
00:15:19Firm, yet silky texture.
00:15:21A delicious combination of spices.
00:15:24And a rich, flaky crust.
00:15:26Janie Wilson, this might be the best piece of pie I've ever had.
00:15:30I second that.
00:15:32Grandma Mary, look out.
00:15:34Want to try it?
00:15:36Whoa!
00:15:51Mmm.
00:16:14So what do you think?
00:16:16Red plaid?
00:16:19Blue plaid?
00:16:24Good choice.
00:16:40There we go.
00:16:43It's looking pretty good.
00:16:45What do you think?
00:16:50I like the red plaid better anyway.
00:17:10What?
00:17:13I can't believe this.
00:17:20Mom?
00:17:22John?
00:17:24Hello?
00:17:49Hello?
00:18:11Good ride Wrangler and Olivia O'Hara be getting back together
00:18:14before it splits these birds both of them.
00:18:17O-K-L-A exclusive as to what's in store for the ex-power couple Rye-Livia.
00:18:21Here's what he had to say.
00:18:23Uh, Livia and I remain the best of friends.
00:18:26She's a wonderful woman.
00:18:28I wouldn't be where I am without her.
00:18:30She fully supports me in my career and your relationship.
00:18:34What was that?
00:18:36In fact, she called me last night to wish me a Merry Christmas
00:18:39and to tell me how much she loves my new single.
00:18:43It's called Christmas Cutie and it's dropping tomorrow.
00:18:46Download your copy at midnight.
00:18:48Guys, I've got to run. Merry Christmas.
00:18:50Thank you, Ryan.
00:18:52Well, you heard it from Ryan Wrangler's side.
00:18:55We'll let you know Olivia is the one we find her.
00:19:08Oh, Mom.
00:19:14Oh.
00:19:20I can't believe you kept this.
00:19:43Oh, my God.
00:19:45Oh, my God.
00:20:11Good morning, Mrs. McMillan.
00:20:13Uh, Mr. Rollins' English class.
00:20:15Room 120.
00:20:17Great. Do I need a...
00:20:18You need a visitor's pass.
00:20:24Olivia O'Hara.
00:20:26Hi, Mrs. McMillan.
00:20:28Olivia O'Hara.
00:20:31Oh, I haven't seen you in years.
00:20:33I mean, I see you in all your movies.
00:20:35I love all your movies.
00:20:37Oh, thank you.
00:20:39My favorite one is the one where you lead that group of misfit astronauts to...
00:20:44Pluto.
00:20:45That's right, Pluto.
00:20:46The people and the Plutonians.
00:20:48Oh, I just loved you in that when you were so fierce.
00:20:51To what do we owe the honor of your presence?
00:20:54I am actually at the school to try and get Shakespeare the attention he deserves.
00:20:58Well, if anyone can do that, it's Olivia O'Hara.
00:21:02We'll always remember you as our Juliet.
00:21:05Such passion.
00:21:07Now, get down there and show the kids what it's like to never give up on their dreams.
00:21:11Oh, yes.
00:21:28Here, class.
00:21:29All's down. Books out.
00:21:31Thanks, Doc.
00:21:34Claudio says,
00:21:36Hero, not thy image doth appear
00:21:39In the rare semblance that I loved it first.
00:21:45What's he mean?
00:21:47Anybody?
00:21:50That's okay not to understand it the first time.
00:21:52See, that's the great thing about old Willy Shakes.
00:21:54Makes us do our own thinking.
00:21:56Makes us ask questions.
00:21:58Makes us go digging for that truth.
00:22:03You know, Shakespeare isn't about the answers, guys.
00:22:06It's about an experience.
00:22:08Well, I couldn't have said it better myself.
00:22:15What fire is in mine ears?
00:22:17Can this be true?
00:22:19Contempt. Farewell.
00:22:22No glory lives behind the phone of such.
00:22:27I will requite thee.
00:22:30Thank you. Thank you.
00:22:32In the meantime,
00:22:34some necessary questions of the play be then to be considered.
00:22:41Act four, scene one.
00:22:50And I'm sure you remember the theater.
00:22:56Oh, I never get bald.
00:22:59You know, I think every movie I've ever made
00:23:02has been an attempt to recreate the feeling I first had right here.
00:23:08And that is?
00:23:13Gallop apace, you fiery footsteps.
00:23:18Oh, I miss it.
00:23:20The community, the creativity.
00:23:23Oh, it's magic.
00:23:27Well, you're not gonna like this, then.
00:23:29We have to cancel the Christmas Eve play.
00:23:32It's the first time in the school's history.
00:23:34I'm sorry. Cancel the Christmas Eve play? Why?
00:23:37Nicole, our drama teacher, she's on maternity leave.
00:23:41Us teachers, we tried to rally together, but we...
00:23:44couldn't pull it off.
00:23:46So there's no... there's no drama teacher right now?
00:23:49No, the kids just use it as a study block.
00:23:53Well, that won't do.
00:23:57Thank you again, Liv. You're really inspiring.
00:24:00Oh, any time.
00:24:02I hope you mean that.
00:24:07This went well, I take it.
00:24:09It did. Lovely seeing you again, Mrs. M.
00:24:12Our door is always open.
00:24:16Bye, Casey.
00:24:18Bye, Liv.
00:24:22New shirt?
00:24:24Oh, yeah, you like it?
00:24:26I do.
00:24:28Nice to see a blossoming friendship between you two.
00:24:31I have a feeling Olivia could use that right now.
00:24:36Could you please take these to recycling?
00:24:39As long as she's here, I don't want any unpleasant reminders.
00:24:44You know what that girl could use right now?
00:24:47A gorgeous old friend to take her down memory lane.
00:24:51Nothing cures heartbreak like ice cream.
00:24:55Ice cream, huh?
00:25:06Earning your keep?
00:25:08Um, you could call it that.
00:25:11Think you can sneak away for a little break?
00:25:13We have mine.
00:25:15Oh.
00:25:17Thank you for your active service this morning.
00:25:19They are serving festive-flavored milkshakes at the diner.
00:25:22That was me thanking you for yesterday.
00:25:24Milkshakes, some will call it even.
00:25:26Deal.
00:25:28I'll take that.
00:25:29Oh, thank you.
00:25:30I'll meet you in the truck.
00:25:31Okay.
00:25:33Hey.
00:25:48If there is ever an option, eggnog is the only answer.
00:25:51Oh no, agree to disagree.
00:25:53Chocolate and peppermint together?
00:25:55There's nothing better.
00:25:57Really?
00:25:58Want to try it?
00:26:16My dad used to bring me here all the time.
00:26:19This place has not changed.
00:26:22Win or lose, you treat the whole team after every game.
00:26:26He was a great guy.
00:26:28He was an incredible coach.
00:26:30He was an incredible father.
00:26:39So, how long did you stay here in town for?
00:26:42Um, just until things calm down in L.A.
00:26:44Or until they find me.
00:26:48Who's they?
00:26:50The paparazzi.
00:26:52Right now my personal life's a bit, well,
00:26:54let's just say Shakespeare would call it a comedy of errors,
00:26:56and that sells magazines, so.
00:26:59Sorry, that's the thing for you.
00:27:01You have to go through everything so publicly.
00:27:05Like breakups.
00:27:08Hey, you're up.
00:27:10And that is why I cannot wait for this cheeseburger.
00:27:13I'm looking forward to it almost as much
00:27:15as my mom's Christmas marshmallow yams.
00:27:20Marshmallows on yams.
00:27:22Absolutely.
00:27:23It's an O'Hara specialty.
00:27:25Sounds delicious, actually.
00:27:27And not too difficult.
00:27:29Do you cook?
00:27:30I read really well.
00:27:32Okay.
00:27:34Honestly, I'm just so busy.
00:27:36The team practices most nights,
00:27:37and then on the weekends we're traveling, so.
00:27:41So, I mean, do you have someone special in your life?
00:27:45Yeah, you could say that.
00:27:48Amazing, Casey.
00:27:49And you should.
00:27:51I met a year ago when I got back,
00:27:53and we have been inseparable ever since.
00:27:56We don't speak the same language,
00:27:57but we have a deeper connection.
00:27:59A teacher?
00:28:01Not exactly, but I do learn from her every day.
00:28:04How to play, how to love unconditionally,
00:28:06and how to hide milk bones in between the couch cushions.
00:28:11Oh, you're talking about your dog.
00:28:14Who did you think I was talking about?
00:28:19I work with Teach for America,
00:28:20so I get transferred to a new city and a new school
00:28:23every two years.
00:28:25It's really rewarding,
00:28:26but it's a little hard to give a relationship what it deserves
00:28:30when you're always on the move.
00:28:33Yeah, I get that.
00:28:35I travel for work, too, a lot.
00:28:37It's a juggling act, career and love.
00:28:40I've always been so driven.
00:28:41I think it's something that people find intimidating.
00:28:45No, it's not intimidating.
00:28:47It's inspiring.
00:28:52What's inspiring is what you're doing at Eagle Heights.
00:28:56That takes bravery.
00:28:58I just hope I can do enough for those kids.
00:29:00Drama was the first to go,
00:29:01but with all of our busy schedules,
00:29:03it's not the last.
00:29:06Look, I know it's only a week before Christmas,
00:29:08but I have an idea.
00:29:11Maybe I could pick up where Nicole left off
00:29:14and help get the Christmas Eve play back on its feet.
00:29:17Yeah?
00:29:18Yes, yes, I'm in.
00:29:21That is fantastic.
00:29:24Double cheeseburgers, double cheese, no tomato.
00:29:28Cooked to perfection.
00:29:30That looks amazing.
00:29:33Sorry to bother you, but can we have your autograph?
00:29:36Obviously, dinner is on the house.
00:29:38Of course, and thank you, Starla.
00:29:42I'm your biggest fan.
00:29:44Well, enjoy you two.
00:29:50Hey, I didn't say that fame didn't have its upsides.
00:30:02So, 6.30 a.m. pickup.
00:30:06Maybe wear comfortable shoes.
00:30:08What is wrong with these? They're Clarice Christensen.
00:30:10Olivia O'Hara, that one from Colorado,
00:30:12should be wearing shoes like that in the middle of winter.
00:30:15Of course not.
00:30:17Get some rest. You're going to need it.
00:30:21Okay.
00:30:34Hey, Liv, how were the milkshakes?
00:30:37Oh, they were just as good as I remember.
00:30:40How's Mr. Rollins?
00:30:42Mr. Rollins is actually driving me to school tomorrow.
00:30:46I'm hoping to fill in at the drama department
00:30:48and possibly direct the Christmas Eve play.
00:30:51Well done, Liv, back on the boards.
00:30:53That's wonderful, honey.
00:30:55Thanks.
00:30:56I made this one for you.
00:30:58It's a star, like you.
00:31:00It's beautiful, thank you.
00:31:02Hey, where should I put it?
00:31:06I have Christmas lights, so it sparkles.
00:31:08Okay, um, how about there?
00:31:12That's perfect.
00:31:16Huh, is this the hotel key card?
00:31:18Yeah, this is the weirdest thing.
00:31:20I don't know how it ended up in our backyard.
00:31:23Pine Point Hotel.
00:31:26Where is that?
00:31:27Pine Point.
00:31:29I think that's the new hotel that just opened downtown, fancy.
00:31:32Oh, the paparazzi might know I'm here.
00:31:35Right.
00:32:09I hope he's ready.
00:32:12No way.
00:32:25Hi.
00:32:26Yeah, just let me grab my pen real quick.
00:32:38Okay.
00:33:00Laura.
00:33:01Hey, it's Olivia.
00:33:02Um, there's a paparazzi named Stephanie Mitchell
00:33:04from Universal Star Magazine in my hometown.
00:33:07Her story she is writing, end it.
00:33:09End it now.
00:33:22It's so cold.
00:33:23Morning, Mr. Rector, how was your sleep?
00:33:25Oh, I just, you know, need a coffee.
00:33:27Right, have it.
00:33:29Oh, thank you.
00:33:31So nice.
00:33:35Olivia.
00:33:37Nicole.
00:33:38Hey.
00:33:39Hey, how are you?
00:33:40Better now.
00:33:43There's no way I could ever thank you enough.
00:33:45You are a Christmas miracle.
00:33:48But cookies?
00:33:51Oh, my gosh, two boys and one on the way.
00:33:53Where do you find the time to make these?
00:33:55During the holidays, we turn them into an assembly line.
00:33:57One cuts the shapes and frosts,
00:33:59and the youngest one mostly just makes a mess.
00:34:02So I talked to Nicole last night.
00:34:04They were halfway through rehearsals,
00:34:05so you can just pick up where she left off.
00:34:07This is the most amazing thing that's happened all year.
00:34:10The students will love you.
00:34:11Oh, we'll see about that.
00:34:13They will.
00:34:14This whole town loves you,
00:34:15ever since you stole our hearts in the spring play.
00:34:18Are you kidding me?
00:34:19I looked up to you.
00:34:20You were the star of that show.
00:34:21I remember being so moved by your solo.
00:34:24Well, at the time, I could hit the high E,
00:34:26but I don't know.
00:34:27When you stepped on stage, you just had it.
00:34:31This is the Christmas Eve playbook,
00:34:33tech cues, and everything else you'll need.
00:34:37I can't wait to see what you come up with.
00:34:39And of course, if you have any questions at all,
00:34:41I'm only a phone call away.
00:34:44Thank you, Olivia.
00:34:46Well, thank you for the cookies.
00:34:48Thank the boys.
00:34:49Oh.
00:34:53Bye, Nicole.
00:34:57I'm just down the hall.
00:34:59Oh, right.
00:35:05Break a leg.
00:35:26Hi, Oliv.
00:35:27Oh, Miss O'Hara.
00:35:28I'm Gabby.
00:35:29I was Mrs. Hudson's assistant.
00:35:30And I'd be really honored to continue doing that job.
00:35:33Oh, sure.
00:35:34Great.
00:35:35I will take this and put this on your desk,
00:35:37which is right here.
00:35:39Here is the class list.
00:35:40Oh, thank you.
00:35:42Hello, everyone.
00:35:44My name is Miss O'Hara, but you can call me Olivia.
00:35:48Great.
00:35:49OK.
00:35:50Um.
00:35:51OK.
00:35:52Well, we have Gabby.
00:35:53Um.
00:35:54Is there Brittany?
00:35:56Brittany.
00:35:57Hi, Brittany.
00:35:58Chris.
00:35:59Chris.
00:36:00Yes, I like it.
00:36:02Jack.
00:36:06Jack Carson.
00:36:08Well, Jack Carson comes whenever he wants.
00:36:12OK.
00:36:13Um.
00:36:14Well, most of you are here.
00:36:16So you know what?
00:36:17Let's get started with a warm up, if everyone can take off their bags
00:36:20and just meet me on stage.
00:36:21Yeah.
00:36:26Oh, hey.
00:36:27You must be Jack.
00:36:28We're just getting started, if you'd like to join us.
00:36:32All right.
00:36:36So there's something else we have to take off, our cool.
00:36:40This is a place to be open, to be free, to be you.
00:36:44Nicole did a great job with the play already.
00:36:46They're almost off book.
00:36:47I taught them a little trick to help them memorize their lines.
00:36:50I seem to like it.
00:36:51You are a natural.
00:36:53Well, I couldn't get Jack Carson to join in, but.
00:36:56Yeah, Jack's a tough one to get through to.
00:36:58He lost his dad last year.
00:37:01You know, I think you might be the one who can finally reach him.
00:37:05Me?
00:37:06I want to show you something.
00:37:09Your mom presented it right here.
00:37:13I had no idea.
00:37:18This is amazing.
00:37:22He was so supportive and generous.
00:37:27I'll be happy to help you.
00:37:29Thank you so much.
00:37:30You're welcome.
00:37:37The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
00:37:53I'll see you tomorrow.
00:37:55See you tomorrow.
00:38:07Hey, do you have the tape?
00:38:11Are all of these for Janie?
00:38:14I know.
00:38:16I just can't help myself.
00:38:18I hope my online shopping makes it on time.
00:38:20I managed to bring a few things from L.A., but your present is our present.
00:38:27I forgot how special it feels to be home for Christmas.
00:38:30Yeah.
00:38:31Hawaii was nice with everyone a couple years ago.
00:38:33But the surfing Santas don't really cut it, do they?
00:38:35No.
00:38:38You know, I just had this story in my head that I couldn't be at home at Christmas without Dad.
00:38:45Yeah.
00:38:46I understand.
00:38:48I mean, you know, I've learned that Christmas really is a time when we can be with everybody again,
00:38:54even if it's just in memories or, you know, traditions.
00:38:58Who can that be?
00:39:08Whoa.
00:39:10John has good taste.
00:39:12They're for you.
00:39:14What?
00:39:19They're from Ryan.
00:39:22I haven't heard from him since he broke up.
00:39:24Our engagement over text.
00:39:26Honey, I'm so sorry.
00:39:31It's okay.
00:39:33We had been drifting apart for a while, and our schedules were never really matching up.
00:39:38He wasn't always so into being famous.
00:39:41He was really sweet and humble, and he would, I don't know,
00:39:47sweet and humble, and he would write these songs.
00:39:52But now he's just...
00:39:54So, are you going to let him know that you got his flowers?
00:40:00I... I don't know how I feel about all this.
00:40:02I just... You know what?
00:40:04I want to be home for Christmas and focus on the students and the play.
00:40:08You know, whenever life has handed you a challenge,
00:40:12you have always managed to turn it into something just magical.
00:40:17And that is exactly what you're doing with this play at the school.
00:40:22I hope so.
00:40:23Oh, it is, honey.
00:40:25I can feel it.
00:40:29You want a hot chocolate?
00:40:31Yeah, I'd love it.
00:40:32Yeah.
00:40:46BELL RINGS
00:40:52Welcome back.
00:40:53I'd like to have a spectacular ending.
00:40:56I want the audience talking about the finale into the new year,
00:40:59and I'm open to suggestions.
00:41:00Oh, maybe we could have snow falling on the stage.
00:41:03That's a great idea.
00:41:05Yes, Brittany.
00:41:06Um, well, I'm just hoping I don't freeze and forget everything.
00:41:09You won't.
00:41:10We'll keep practicing. It's going to be fantastic.
00:41:13I'd be willing to sing a solo or two.
00:41:16OK.
00:41:19Jack, you could at least applaud every now and then
00:41:22if you're just going to be an audience member.
00:41:32Jack, can I see you in the hallway, please?
00:41:34Now?
00:41:35OK.
00:41:41Um, just, uh, you know, keep practicing, everyone.
00:41:53Jack, this is an elective you selected for this semester.
00:41:57If you don't want to participate, then why are you here?
00:42:00Easy A.
00:42:01OK, well, right now you're on track for an easy F.
00:42:04Whatever.
00:42:06Look, I know high school isn't easy for anyone,
00:42:10and I know it's hard to put your heart into anything after it's been...
00:42:13You don't know me.
00:42:15OK, you're right. I don't.
00:42:17But I think I might be able to relate to what you're going through.
00:42:24Have you ever heard of the Michael O'Hare Memorial Scholarship?
00:42:27Of course.
00:42:29That's my dad.
00:42:31We lost him my senior year, right around this time.
00:42:36I miss him every day.
00:42:40OK, if you don't want to perform in the play, that's fine.
00:42:45But you... you can't just sit in the back.
00:42:48You have to move forward, even if it's with small steps to start.
00:42:56What am I supposed to do?
00:43:01Well, we could really use a hair and makeup person or a costumes captain.
00:43:07I like music.
00:43:08OK, yeah. OK, music, that's great.
00:43:12We could really use a soundtrack.
00:43:14Christmas carols?
00:43:15OK, yeah.
00:43:16I don't know.
00:43:19I make beats.
00:43:20Yes, OK. How about some carols and some original music?
00:43:25Yeah, maybe.
00:43:26OK, and maybe you could bring in some recordings for, like, maybe the end of the week?
00:43:33Sure.
00:43:35OK.
00:43:36OK.
00:44:06Don't hold me tight and don't let go
00:44:10We don't need a fireside
00:44:13Cabernet's a pumpkin pie
00:44:16Let those reindeer pass us by
00:44:20Give these loving arms a try
00:44:24Santa Claus can do his thing
00:44:31I need something more
00:44:33Than jolly old St. Nick and Bing
00:44:37I don't need a Christmas tree
00:44:41That don't mean a thing to me
00:44:44All I want is you right next to me
00:44:52Santa Claus can do his thing
00:44:59I need something more
00:45:02Than jolly old St. Nick and Bing
00:45:06I don't need a Christmas tree
00:45:09That don't mean a thing to me
00:45:13All I want is you right next to me
00:45:20All I want is you right next to me
00:45:26All I want is you right next to me
00:45:34Olivia?
00:45:37The show's tomorrow and we don't have a Santa costume.
00:45:40The school doesn't have any costumes in storage?
00:45:42Maybe I can make a beard with cotton balls?
00:45:44I will just, I will go out and pick up everything we need.
00:45:47We need a lot.
00:45:49It'll be my Christmas present to the class.
00:45:51OK?
00:45:52Hey, everyone.
00:45:54Thank you so much for all your hard work.
00:45:57I am so excited to see you up there on the big stage of the community hall.
00:46:00Whatever your department needs, write it down on Gabby's list
00:46:03and I will take care of everything.
00:46:06Got this!
00:46:08And kids, you too. Have a Merry Christmas.
00:46:11Thank you. Take care.
00:46:13First one in, last one out, Mr. Rollins.
00:46:16I had to squeeze in one last practice.
00:46:18And...
00:46:21Merry Christmas.
00:46:23Thank you for coming out on Saturday.
00:46:44Is there anyone else special on your list this year?
00:46:48Like...
00:46:50I've seen the way you and Olivia look at each other.
00:46:55I'm not a celebrity, and she's a movie star.
00:46:59She's also just a girl trying to find her way in the world.
00:47:03You're a great guy, Casey, and I know teaching fulfills you, but...
00:47:07I'm afraid you don't know what you're missing.
00:47:10I stopped by the rehearsal room. She wasn't there.
00:47:14I'd check the diner if I were you.
00:47:19Some things are worth fighting for.
00:47:22And there's no better time than Christmas for a little magic.
00:47:44Hi there, Stephanie. Hand over the camera.
00:48:12Hand over the camera.
00:48:13No.
00:48:18Thank you, Starla.
00:48:20No one messes with our Olivia. You got this?
00:48:23Yeah, I do.
00:48:28Oh, this is... this is heavier than I expected.
00:48:32Feels expensive.
00:48:33Yeah, so expensive. Can I have it back?
00:48:36I think I'll keep it.
00:48:38If I don't get a story to my editor by Christmas, I will lose my job.
00:48:42You should have chosen another line of work.
00:48:44I went to journalism school. I wanted to tell stories of hope and humanity.
00:48:49But this is what everyone wants.
00:48:52To watch along as my life implodes.
00:48:55It's not right.
00:48:56It's not.
00:48:57But the only stories that sell more magazines are ones of redemption,
00:49:00which is why I was trying to get some shots of you and your new boyfriend.
00:49:04He's not my boyfriend.
00:49:06Okay, you can have the camera back.
00:49:09If you turn over everything you have on me.
00:49:12Photos, journals, digital copies.
00:49:14Just tell your editor that I didn't come home. I wasn't here.
00:49:17Please.
00:49:19Come on, this is my life.
00:49:24Okay.
00:49:26Deal.
00:49:28Deal.
00:49:29Deal.
00:49:31Deal.
00:49:36Clary's Christensen boots aren't made for Colorado winters, are they?
00:49:40Tell me about it.
00:49:42Thank you, Stephanie.
00:49:51Oh, thank you for the backup, Starla. I'll take your check, please.
00:49:54Okay.
00:49:55Don't take too much work home with you.
00:49:57Casey.
00:49:58Yeah, well, you know, big show tomorrow night.
00:50:01Hey, listen.
00:50:03Since you're going to be busy for the next couple nights,
00:50:06maybe you'd like to go out.
00:50:08Tonight.
00:50:09Tonight? Like...
00:50:11Like a real date?
00:50:13Yeah, tonight.
00:50:14Like a real date.
00:50:16Yeah, I'd love to.
00:50:20No, I have got this.
00:50:22Technically, you've got the leather jacket.
00:50:23I have got this.
00:50:25Technically, you've got the last one.
00:50:26I will pick you up at eight.
00:50:29Eight? I'll be ready.
00:50:39Uh, no peeking.
00:50:43Oh, hi.
00:50:45Sorry.
00:50:46I thought it was your mom.
00:50:48You know, she always knows when I'm going to get her.
00:50:50Every year.
00:50:51I don't know how she does it.
00:50:52She holds a gift.
00:50:53She looks at it.
00:50:54She knows.
00:50:56This year, my goal is to actually surprise her.
00:51:03Wow. Well, I mean,
00:51:05whatever it is,
00:51:06she's going to love it.
00:51:07Well, good, because I love her.
00:51:10You really do.
00:51:12Yeah.
00:51:14Thank you for being there for her when I couldn't.
00:51:17And for making her so happy again.
00:51:21I envy the kind of love that you two have.
00:51:24It'll happen for you, too, Liv.
00:51:28Anytime, kid.
00:51:32Honey, close the door.
00:51:33Yes, of course.
00:51:48Perfect.
00:51:51Smells good.
00:51:53I hope Olivia likes it.
00:52:00See, doll?
00:52:03Learn it.
00:52:14What you doing?
00:52:17Getting ready for a date
00:52:18with Mr. Rollins.
00:52:20He's so nice.
00:52:22He really is.
00:52:23But I don't know what to wear.
00:52:24I don't know if it's going to be inside or outside.
00:52:27Better to always be prepared.
00:52:29Boots?
00:52:30Check.
00:52:31What socks?
00:52:32Board moms.
00:52:33Scarf?
00:52:34Gloves?
00:52:35Earmuffs?
00:52:38Hang on.
00:52:48I was going to wait for Christmas morning,
00:52:50but this seems like the perfect moment.
00:52:51Are you sure?
00:52:59I love them.
00:53:02Merry Christmas Eve Eve.
00:53:04Merry Christmas Eve Eve, Janie.
00:53:06Good luck on your date.
00:53:19You look beautiful.
00:53:25So I'm taking you to the newest restaurant in town.
00:53:28Opening night.
00:53:29Oh, I love a premiere.
00:53:48Welcome to Casa Rollins.
00:53:52Oh, hi, Dolly.
00:53:55This is the house that you grew up in?
00:53:58It is.
00:53:59I'm house-sitting while my parents are away.
00:54:01Casey, this place is...
00:54:03Christmassy?
00:54:04I love it.
00:54:07Dolly and I are spending Christmas this year
00:54:09with my parents in Florida,
00:54:10so we really get into decorating
00:54:12before it's all white sand instead of white snow.
00:54:16Oh, I didn't know that you were leaving.
00:54:18Tomorrow night.
00:54:20After the play.
00:54:21Booked a Christmas Eve ride-or-flight months ago.
00:54:24So I was thinking
00:54:26I would bump up Christmas dinner a couple of nights.
00:54:29Hi.
00:54:45You made my favorite yams?
00:54:48My mom walked me through it over the phone.
00:54:51I even added the mini marshmallows.
00:54:54This is...
00:54:56I don't know what to say.
00:54:59New trends.
00:55:01New traditions.
00:55:07That turkey was perfect.
00:55:09I'm glad you liked it.
00:55:11Room for dessert?
00:55:13Full disclosure,
00:55:14I sort of hired a pastry chef.
00:55:19North Pole pie?
00:55:21Only my dad knew how to make it.
00:55:24I talked to your mom.
00:55:26Her and Janie were practicing to surprise you.
00:55:30I lucked out.
00:55:50So how are you feeling about the show tomorrow?
00:55:54Pretty good, thanks.
00:55:55We just have to sync up Jack's music with the finale.
00:55:58Jack's music?
00:56:00Yeah, he composed an original score.
00:56:02He's really come out of his shell. It's amazing to watch.
00:56:04Wow.
00:56:05And I was hoping that you could help him with the soundboard or maybe the lights.
00:56:08Of course.
00:56:09I'd love to help her.
00:56:11You know, I almost wish that I could just
00:56:13stay on as drama teacher and just leave Hollywood behind for a bit.
00:56:18I don't imagine this is how you pictured your life right about now.
00:56:23No.
00:56:25But there's no other place I'd rather be.
00:56:29No.
00:56:35Okay, I have a confession.
00:56:38I said that my dad made us watch all your games, but it was really just because
00:56:42I had the biggest crush on you.
00:56:47Really?
00:56:49I was crazy about you.
00:56:52I would search for you in the stands.
00:56:55My dad actually asked me to stop attending so much.
00:57:00That actually makes sense.
00:57:02I would get so nervous, I couldn't even shoot the ball.
00:57:07Wow.
00:57:09I only knew back then.
00:57:12Well, I mean, you know now and here we are.
00:57:17Here.
00:57:22I know peppermint chocolate's kind of your thing.
00:57:35That was a lovely evening and an amazing meal.
00:57:42Thank you for sharing it with me.
00:57:47Good night.
00:57:50Good night.
00:58:16Good night.
00:58:32Liv!
00:58:35Ryan, what are you doing here?
00:58:38I missed you.
00:58:40Oh, good.
00:58:42I know.
00:58:44I deserve to feel like this.
00:58:46Get my flowers?
00:58:48Yes, but why are you here?
00:58:51I made a mistake.
00:58:54I thought Laura was the answer.
00:58:57Laura, my manager.
00:58:59I know, I know. I'm sorry. I messed up.
00:59:04I should have known no one compares to Olivia O'Hara.
00:59:11What if I wasn't her?
00:59:14What do you mean?
00:59:16I wasn't Olivia O'Hara.
00:59:18Movie star, no studio deal, no movie franchise.
00:59:21What if I was just Liv, a girl from Valley Hill?
00:59:26Uh...
00:59:28What did your single chart?
00:59:32Uh, didn't.
00:59:34But that's not why I'm here.
00:59:36Okay, but...
00:59:38Ryan, I'm not...
00:59:40I am not going back to L.A. with you.
00:59:42I am home for Christmas.
00:59:44Olivia, I love you.
00:59:46I want us back.
00:59:48I want you back.
00:59:51I'll do whatever it takes.
00:59:54Call me.
00:59:57Okay.
00:59:58Wow.
01:00:29We had a deal.
01:00:31We have a deal. We still have a deal.
01:00:34There are photos on every magazine, on every website.
01:00:38You lied to me.
01:00:40Olivia, it wasn't me.
01:00:42What?
01:00:44I called my editor, just like you said.
01:00:46I told her you weren't in town.
01:00:48I phoned her.
01:00:50I told her you weren't in town.
01:00:52I told her you weren't in town.
01:00:54I told her you weren't in town.
01:00:55I called my editor, just like you said.
01:00:57I told her you weren't in town.
01:00:59I fly out tonight.
01:01:01Olivia, I didn't write the story.
01:01:03Okay, then who wrote the story, Stephanie?
01:01:06Ryan Wrangler.
01:01:09Ryan?
01:01:11Ryan has a deal with the network media.
01:01:14He arranged for them to follow him to Valley Hill,
01:01:16and he staged the photo op.
01:01:18Wait, last night was...
01:01:20was staged?
01:01:22I don't know what he said to you,
01:01:23but he said the camera's taking your picture
01:01:25because he paid them to be there.
01:01:27I... I can't even...
01:01:29I'm so sorry, Olivia.
01:01:31Uh, I think I'm just gonna stay here tonight.
01:01:34I have to...
01:01:36Okay, I need to lie down.
01:01:46Hi.
01:01:48Oh, good girl.
01:01:53Hi.
01:02:03This packing's gonna have to wait.
01:02:05Come on.
01:02:21Oh, thank you for coming.
01:02:23I opened the theater door,
01:02:25but the students need supervision.
01:02:27It's no problem.
01:02:29I'll do my best to help them with the run-through.
01:02:31She's probably just running behind movie stars.
01:02:33You know, they're always late.
01:02:35She'll be here.
01:02:36Okay.
01:02:53Liv, Liv, don't hang up.
01:02:55Guess what?
01:02:57We're trending.
01:02:59I don't care if we're trending, Ryan.
01:03:01Right, Olivia, back together for Christmas.
01:03:03We can release a joint statement.
01:03:04Let's give the people what they want.
01:03:06It's not what I want.
01:03:08It's not?
01:03:10You're a great musician, Ryan.
01:03:12But you want the whole world to love you.
01:03:14I just want to be with someone who just wants me.
01:03:17The real me.
01:03:19So we're not getting back together?
01:03:21Never.
01:03:23I really hope you find what you're looking for.
01:03:26Goodbye, Ryan.
01:03:35Room service.
01:03:39Hi.
01:03:41Eggnog, fruitcake, and gingerbread men.
01:03:43Where would you like it?
01:03:45You can just, you can leave it here, thanks.
01:03:53And can you just sign here?
01:03:55Yeah, of course.
01:04:05I just wanted to say thank you.
01:04:08My kid brother, he's been having a hard time since our dad passed.
01:04:13And, well, it's just been nice seeing him enjoying something again.
01:04:20You're Jack's older brother.
01:04:23That thing that you told Jack, that we can't sit in the back row of life.
01:04:28We have to keep moving forward.
01:04:31It made an impact.
01:04:32You've made a real impact.
01:04:35Oh, I don't, I mean, I don't know about that.
01:04:38You, you have.
01:04:40Being there, even showing up.
01:04:42It's inspired them to show up for themselves.
01:04:48I'll see you at the show.
01:05:02Bye.
01:05:13There you are. I was looking for you.
01:05:26Every year I put it up for sale.
01:05:29And every year I just can't bear to see it go.
01:05:33The sound of a revving engine still brings me back to Saturday mornings as a kid.
01:05:44When I left, it wasn't my plan to never come home for Christmas.
01:05:49I know, honey.
01:05:51It was just this, this broken faucet and everything was pouring out of me.
01:05:58I didn't know how to manage it, so I just turned it off.
01:06:02And I had to let you go.
01:06:04But you were always close to my heart.
01:06:08And if you hadn't left, then you would never have become the wonderful woman that you are today.
01:06:16And I don't love you because you're a movie star.
01:06:20I love you because you're my daughter.
01:06:25I love you too, Mom.
01:06:27You know, I have watched you in awe for years.
01:06:32Your determination, your confidence, your strength.
01:06:37But nothing has made me more proud than the Olivia that has emerged over the course of you putting together this play.
01:06:46Well, I just bailed on everyone.
01:06:50You know, they needed me to be there and I just ran away again.
01:06:55Casey took the students through their run-through, but I still didn't have time to get all the costumes that we need.
01:07:00And I have a ton of decorations.
01:07:07And finding costumes shouldn't be too difficult.
01:07:10Now, I'm sure that Casey is covering for you, but we should hurry.
01:07:14Oh, Casey.
01:07:16Are you worried about the front page?
01:07:19Is it true? Is Ray Olivia back on?
01:07:23No.
01:07:25How do I explain this?
01:07:27I'm just, I have a lot of places to run to.
01:07:31Then stop running, honey.
01:07:35You tell him what is true.
01:07:38And if the world is making up stories about you, then you go out there and you show them who you really are.
01:07:45Okay?
01:07:48Thanks.
01:07:58Stephanie.
01:08:00Olivia.
01:08:02I think I figured out a way that you can keep your job.
01:08:05Redemption. It's the best-selling story you can get.
01:08:08Are you giving me an exclusive?
01:08:10A front row exclusive. Valley Hill Community Hall, 6pm. You'll get your story.
01:08:15And what do you get?
01:08:17My life back.
01:08:19The show started ten minutes.
01:08:21My life back.
01:08:23The show started ten minutes.
01:08:25Ladies and gentlemen, the show will begin in ten minutes.
01:08:29The show's just about to start. Take your seat.
01:08:31Enjoy the show.
01:08:44It's a full house.
01:08:47I'm glad you made it.
01:08:48I'm glad you made it.
01:08:50The students are going to be thrilled to see you.
01:08:52Casey, I...
01:08:54You don't have to explain yourself.
01:08:57If you're happy, I'm happy.
01:09:01But it's not true.
01:09:03I saw the paper, Liv.
01:09:05And you're telling me that didn't happen?
01:09:07Okay, it's... it's true.
01:09:10But it wasn't real.
01:09:13Ryan ambushed me, and that picture was just a publicity stunt to sell his album.
01:09:16He staged the whole thing. It is over with him.
01:09:20But this...
01:09:23I mean...
01:09:25This is real.
01:09:32Your dad would be so proud of you.
01:09:35Thank you, Mom.
01:09:37Hey, you've got to cast a pep talk.
01:09:40I'll see you after the show.
01:09:43Break a leg.
01:09:47The show must...
01:09:49I don't have a Santa hat.
01:09:51As they say in the biz...
01:09:53I can't remember my lines.
01:09:55Has anyone seen a Santa hat?
01:09:57The show must go on.
01:09:59No hat, no lines, no director.
01:10:03No problem.
01:10:05The show must go on.
01:10:07She's right.
01:10:10Hey, guys.
01:10:12How are you feeling?
01:10:14Good.
01:10:16When you're in a position in life, you get set back with unexpected challenges.
01:10:20Life doesn't have a dress rehearsal.
01:10:22You go out, and you give it everything you've got.
01:10:25Keep moving forward, right, Jack?
01:10:27Chris, your Santa hat?
01:10:29Brittany, you've got this.
01:10:32Trust yourself.
01:10:34It is okay to be nervous.
01:10:36Dig deep and let it fuel you.
01:10:38These are the moments that define you as artists.
01:10:40And your acts of courage will inspire others in theirs.
01:10:43You've all worked so hard, and I'm already so proud.
01:10:47All the world's a stage, and tonight, the stage is yours.
01:10:51I'll be watching from the wings.
01:10:53Now, let's get your costumes on.
01:11:13Psst.
01:11:15It was the night before Christmas.
01:11:21It was the night before Christmas, but didn't feel near it.
01:11:27Why can't I hear it?
01:11:29One little girl had lost her Christmas spirit.
01:11:33No mistletoe? No big red bow?
01:11:36If I don't find Christmas...
01:11:39There won't be a show.
01:11:43Maybe it's closer than hillside or brook.
01:11:45It isn't outside, you.
01:11:47Just trust us.
01:11:49We've worked.
01:11:51Hold on.
01:11:53I'm getting something.
01:11:55It's very...
01:11:57It's close.
01:11:59I think my journey has come to an end.
01:12:01The spirit is here.
01:12:03In the warmth of a friend.
01:12:05It's here.
01:12:07It's here.
01:12:09It's here.
01:12:10In the warmth of a friend.
01:12:41Our friend hadn't misplaced or forgotten the source.
01:12:46It was right there inside her.
01:12:48Friends, family.
01:12:50Of course.
01:12:55Take the hand on your left.
01:12:57And the hand on your right.
01:12:59That spirit you're holding?
01:13:01That's Christmas.
01:13:03Good night.
01:13:05Merry Christmas.
01:13:07Merry Christmas.
01:13:08Merry Christmas.
01:13:10Good night.
01:13:27I'd like to welcome to the stage our director
01:13:30who led us with passion, inspiration
01:13:34and overall unwavering dedication.
01:13:36Eagle Heights' very own Olivia O'Hara.
01:13:45It was such an honor working with these courageous students.
01:13:50Being back home for Christmas and reconnecting with my roots.
01:13:55It means more to me than you can imagine.
01:13:59Merry Christmas, everyone!
01:14:07Bravo.
01:14:09You did it.
01:14:11I think I like this directing thing.
01:14:13Hands down.
01:14:15Best Christmas Eve play ever.
01:14:17Oh, well, thanks to you.
01:14:19Cast party at the diner.
01:14:21I mean, if you're not busy then you're invited too, Mr. Rollins.
01:14:25Well, usually I can't turn down an invitation to the diner
01:14:28but I've got a flight to catch.
01:14:30Right, of course.
01:14:33Hi.
01:14:35Hi.
01:14:39This was...
01:14:42You're incredible, Olivia O'Hara.
01:14:46Merry Christmas.
01:14:49Merry Christmas, Casey.
01:14:51Encore! Encore! This is so amazing!
01:14:57Oh, thank you.
01:14:59Liv, beautiful.
01:15:01Your mother cried.
01:15:03Wow.
01:15:05You really pulled it off, sweetheart.
01:15:07Fantastic.
01:15:09Thank you for coming.
01:15:11We love you.
01:15:13I love you too.
01:15:15I love you too.
01:15:17I love you too.
01:15:18Thank you for coming.
01:15:20We'll warm up the car.
01:15:49And here's a big one for...
01:15:51Oh, this one is from me.
01:16:19Is this...
01:16:21The original Captain Claus girl jacket I wore in all three films.
01:16:25I love it. Thank you so much.
01:16:27Oh.
01:16:28You know, I'll get it.
01:16:36Casey?
01:16:44I changed my flight.
01:16:45I don't want to spend another day, let alone Christmas, without you.
01:16:54Christmas is the time to be with the one you love.
01:16:58So here I am.
01:17:01Hoping that you feel the same way about me too.
01:17:06Being back home made me believe in myself again,
01:17:09but being with you made me believe in love.
01:17:12If life is anything like the movies, then...
01:17:15you're my happy ending.
01:17:18So I guess...
