A Great North Christmas

Listen, either your client admits

to plagiarizing my client publicly

or we don't have a deal.

Why does it matter?

We're willing to pay every cent.

Why add insult to injury?

Appearances, Bob.

My client can't be seen as some spoiled rich kid

saying, "Give me my toys back."

Something was stolen, and the perpetrator,

your client, has to pay.

Fine, we'll put out a statement later today.

Thanks, Bob.

You know, you've always been my favorite.

Maybe we can grab a drink sometime.

I look forward to reading that statement.

How did your little plagiarism case go?

You mean my very big plagiarism case

for our very important client?

Went great. Thanks for asking.

VIP, huh?

I thought he was a D-list screenwriter

with only two films to his name,

both only released in Canada.

Who even lives in Canada? Who would want to?

I, for one, would not.

That doesn't diminish her accomplishments.

Remind me, how many screenplays have you written again?

- Zero, I don't need to. - I represent actual talent.

Oh, yeah, you said that on the course the other day.

Who was it that totally annihilated you?

- Hey, I was having an off day. - Oh, sure you were.

See you Monday!

Good job on the plagiarism case, North.

Thank you, Mr. Maclntyre.

Which reminds me, I've got some contracts

I need reviewed by the 26th.

Do you think you can handle that?

Well, that would have me working through Christmas.

- Is that gonna be a problem? - No, sir, not at all.

Keep up the good work, North.

Canu, hi.

Oh, I'd love to.

I actually have a really important meeting tonight.

Next time, okay? Say hi to Alex for me.

Ciao!

Samantha, hi!

Are you still coming tonight?

Oh, of course, I wouldn't miss it!

Good, it's very important that you come.

- Okay. - Well, I'll see you guys soon.

Hey, you can do this.

Hi!

Hey, Duchess, hey, sweetie.

- You made it! - I made it.

How are you?

Thank you so much for fostering her for me.

Caroline, we'll always be here for you.

Samantha, that was amazing.

You need to teach me your culinary ways.

Does that mean that next time you're cooking?

The extent of my cooking is ordering Chinese food,

so I'm not sure if you guys would be into that.

Ooh, you should date a chef.

That would be good for me.

So, Caroline, do you have plans for Christmas?

- Mm-hmm, I do. - I have plans, for sure.

So you're going to read contracts again?

It's fine, honestly.

I'll just order in Morton's and watch a holiday film.

Oh, so you're gonna watch "Die Hard."

- It's a Christmas movie. - No, it's not.

- Yes, it is. - It absolutely is.

Anyway, you can't keep

letting your boss railroad you like this.

I'm fine, honestly.

You guys, I want to be working.

If I'm gonna be the best,

I have to show them that I can do everything.

You have to take some time for yourself.

Speaking of taking some time for yourself,

Jackie found this amazing resort up north online.

- Like, way up north. - Like, Canada, to be exact.

Prince George, to be exactly exact.

Prince George?

Isn't that Harry and Meghan's kid or something?

No, William and Kate's, but not that Prince George,

this one.

What is this?

We sort of impulse bought you a trip there

for Christmas.

- To Canada. - Yeah.

The package has skiing, snowmobiling...

- Dog sledding! - Dog sledding.

Okay, and where did you guys find this place?

We just think you need a change of pace.

I think my pace is fine, thank you,

and I can go skiing at my usual spot in Mammoth,

which is a lot closer than Canada.

We know how hard this time of year can be for you,

and we just thought maybe you can use a change

to help get you out of your Christmas blues.

You've spent the last four Christmases

since your parents died working.

We know how hard this time of year is for you,

and we thought that maybe you could use a change.

That's not entirely true.

I went to that industry thing like, two years ago.

You guys remember.

For like an hour until the moment somebody hit on you,

you bounced.

Take the trip.

I don't know.

I guess snowmobiling sounds kind of fun.

So you'll go?

Yes, fine. I'll go.

Yay, because the tickets are not refundable!

Okay, but on one condition.

If I don't like it, I get to come home right away,

and you guys can't make me feel bad about it, okay?

Deal?

- Deal. - Deal.

Canada, really?

First time in the mountains?

Oh, no, I get up to Mammoth at least twice a year.

Ah, I was just gonna say it seems

like you're a little under dressed for the weather.

I think your heater might be broken, so...

Thank you.

Hi. Caroline North, checking in.

What is Christmas Grotto?

Christmas Grotto is all things Christmas.

Arts and crafts, wood carvings, food vendors,

all made by locals from the town.

There's even a Santa Claus.

- Great. - What was that?

I said, great, sounds great.

Thank you.

Good boy, Champ.

Looks like someone lost their phone.

Come on.

Let's go do our good deed for the day.

Excuse me.

Hi, how can I help you?

I can help you, if you want.

Great, I found this phone outside the hotel.

I think it might belong to one of your guests.

Yes, okay, yeah, I can take that, sure.

Here's my number.

Oh, sir, that's awful sweet of you,

but I'm spoken for.

Oh, I just want to hear that they get it back safe.

- Oh, of course. - That's so nice of you.

Yeah, someone just checked in.

It's probably theirs. They seemed a little upset.

How can you be upset in a place like this?

That's what I thought.

- Bye. - Bye.

Oh, you've got to be kidding me.

Hello, hello! Excuse me!

- Hi. - Hi, how can I help you?

- My phone, I lost it. - Did I leave it here?

Yeah, you must have dropped it outside.

Thank you so much.

Yeah, this really cute guy found it.

Yeah, he left his number.

Wanted to hear you got it back safely.

So nice, right?

No name?

Tall, handsome, mysterious.

Right, thanks.

Mom, we're home!

Did you have a good walk?

He nearly had a fit when he saw Amy at Snow Bean.

Well, that's because Amy has all the good treats.

Yes, she does.

Speaking of treats, picked up a little something.

Oh, Jonathan, you are too sweet to me,

but you know I don't need a

cinnamon roll!

Fine, I'll eat it.

I said I didn't need it.

Didn't say I don't want it.

Two sugar?

Two cream, I know.

You are just like your father.

Yeah, I miss him.

I do, too.

We all do.

This town just isn't the same without him.

You were always more concerned about others

than yourself.

That's why I love you.

Not to mention the whole giving you life thing.

That too.

- Aw, man. - What's wrong, sweetie?

I forgot to pick up a new hat,

since someone decided my old one needed a few more holes.

Well, I'm sure Champ wouldn't mind taking you back into town.

It's too late today, maybe tomorrow.
