Great semester, everybody.

See you in the new year.

Phew! Happy holidays, guys.

for the semester.

17
00:00:49,708 --> 00:00:53,042
Each one of my students
made a dish that represents

18

how their culture
celebrates the holiday season.

They all look amazing.

Here, try this.

21
00:00:58,500 --> 00:01:01,667
It's a Burmese noodle dish,
made by my student, Mung,

22
00:01:01,708 --> 00:01:03,708
and he's from Myanmar.

I can't wait to
read all of their papers

26
00:01:09,417 --> 00:01:11,083
and learn about each dish.

27
00:01:11,208 --> 00:01:13,167
I want to try them all.

28
00:01:13,250 --> 00:01:15,250
Do it. It's not every day
that cultural delicacies

29

because we share a wall

Oh, I'm sorry, honey.

The right position will come.

39
00:01:37,875 --> 00:01:39,417
I don't know about that.

40

that teaching part-time

41

at the college is where
I'm supposed to be.

42
00:01:43,708 --> 00:01:45,292
I mean, it's a great job.

43
00:01:45,375 --> 00:01:48,167
But?

44
00:01:48,208 --> 00:01:50,042
I miss cooking for people.

45
00:01:50,167 --> 00:01:51,750
What are you saying, Al?

46
00:01:51,875 --> 00:01:54,292
Cooking breakfast for me every
morning isn't fulfilling enough?

47
00:01:54,375 --> 00:01:56,500
Are you sure
you want me to answer that?

48
00:01:56,583 --> 00:01:58,833
No, no.

49
00:01:58,958 --> 00:02:00,417
I'm far too fragile
for the truth.

50
00:02:00,500 --> 00:02:03,167
What I mean is I miss cooking

51
00:02:03,208 --> 00:02:06,542
in a real restaurant
with real customers.

52
00:02:06,625 --> 00:02:08,000
I know.

53
00:02:08,083 --> 00:02:09,292
But it will come.

54
00:02:09,375 --> 00:02:12,375
I can feel it in
my old and frail bones.

55
00:02:14,167 --> 00:02:15,833
- So, listen.
- Hmm?

56
00:02:15,917 --> 00:02:19,083
It's December 7th,

57
00:02:19,208 --> 00:02:21,417
and we need to start planning.

58
00:02:21,500 --> 00:02:25,750
So, I was thinking
we could get a tree,

59
00:02:25,833 --> 00:02:27,000
maybe Thursday?

60
00:02:27,042 --> 00:02:28,583
You know, honey,

61
00:02:28,667 --> 00:02:30,583
I think, this year,

62
00:02:30,667 --> 00:02:33,708
I might want to lay low and
have a quiet holiday season

63
00:02:33,708 --> 00:02:35,500
without all
the bells and whistles. Huh?

64
00:02:35,542 --> 00:02:38,333
I know, Dad,
but we laid low last year

65
00:02:38,417 --> 00:02:40,167
and Mom made us a promise.

66
00:02:40,208 --> 00:02:42,500
I know, I know.

67
00:02:42,583 --> 00:02:45,833
But she's not here
to get us into trouble.

68
00:02:45,875 --> 00:02:48,167
I think she'd understand.

69
00:02:48,208 --> 00:02:50,583
What's this one?

70
00:02:51,708 --> 00:02:53,125
Goulash.

71
00:02:53,208 --> 00:02:54,875
It's a Hungarian dish.

72
00:02:54,958 --> 00:02:56,792
- Mmm.
- It's good.

73
00:03:00,583 --> 00:03:02,792
Oh, wow!

74
00:03:05,458 --> 00:03:08,792
Yes, I understand that,
but the dividends

75
00:03:08,792 --> 00:03:11,958
have never been better
for our shareholders.

76
00:03:12,042 --> 00:03:15,625
Mm-hmm. Well, listen, let's
agree to disagree, all right?

77
00:03:15,708 --> 00:03:17,917
I've gotten this far without
having to sell my soul.

78
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:19,958
Why start now?

79
00:03:20,042 --> 00:03:23,000
Great.

80
00:03:23,125 --> 00:03:24,542
Oh, and happy holidays.

81
00:03:24,667 --> 00:03:27,333

83
00:03:29,792 --> 00:03:32,167
Oh, you feel taller.
Are you taller?

84
00:03:32,250 --> 00:03:33,333
I don't think so.

85
00:03:33,458 --> 00:03:34,958
You might be
getting shorter though.

86
00:03:35,042 --> 00:03:36,250
It happens with old age.

87
00:03:36,375 --> 00:03:38,083
That is just cruel.

88
00:03:38,167 --> 00:03:39,667
No, I'm kidding.
You're beautiful as always,

89
00:03:39,792 --> 00:03:41,708

90
00:03:41,792 --> 00:03:44,458
Mm-hmm. All right, all right.
Give it a rest.

00:03:44,542 --> 00:03:47,208
Well, the posters
are looking fantastic.

92
00:03:47,292 --> 00:03:48,792
I saw them all over
the train on my way over.

93
00:03:48,875 --> 00:03:50,250
It's going to be a good year.

94
00:03:50,333 --> 00:03:52,792
Our marketing team has
really outdone themselves.

95
00:03:52,875 --> 00:03:54,750
And everyone is so excited

96
00:03:54,833 --> 00:03:56,875
to have you back
on board as a mentor.

97
00:03:56,958 --> 00:04:00,333
I can't tell you how happy I
still am that you finally caved.

98
00:04:00,417 --> 00:04:02,750
Well, once I found out
I was working with Sebastian,

99
00:04:02,833 --> 00:04:04,292
how could I say no?

100
00:04:04,375 --> 00:04:06,292
I mean, that kid's going to be
the next Grant Achatz.

101
00:04:06,375 --> 00:04:08,542
It's almost unfair
how easily we're going to win.

102
00:04:08,625 --> 00:04:12,000
Right. That's actually why I
wanted to talk to you today.

103
00:04:12,042 --> 00:04:14,375
Oh, no. What?

104
00:04:14,458 --> 00:04:16,875
Sebastian is out
of the competition.

105
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,958
He got an opportunity in
Manhattan to be head chef

106
00:04:20,042 --> 00:04:21,292
at some Upper East Side
bistro.

107
00:04:21,375 --> 00:04:23,833
Seriously?
I can't say I'm surprised,

108
00:04:23,917 --> 00:04:25,708
though I was looking forward to
ending Alfonso's winning streak.

109
00:04:25,833 --> 00:04:27,000
Does that mean

110
00:04:27,042 --> 00:04:29,208
there's only going to be
three competitors this year?

111
00:04:29,292 --> 00:04:31,583
We're actually hoping
to find you a replacement.

112
00:04:31,708 --> 00:04:33,375
A replacement?

113
00:04:33,458 --> 00:04:36,542
But the competition's
in four days.

114
00:04:36,667 --> 00:04:38,375
We're going to look through
all the applicants

115
00:04:38,458 --> 00:04:40,333
and see who might make
a good match for you.

116
00:04:40,417 --> 00:04:42,042
No, no,
but Sebastian was my guy.

117
00:04:42,167 --> 00:04:44,000
I'm not interested
in a B-level backup.

118
00:04:44,083 --> 00:04:47,167
Eh, eh. Since when are you
above teaching the underdog?

119
00:04:47,208 --> 00:04:51,167
This is a very...
prestigious

120
00:04:51,250 --> 00:04:53,583
and very public competition.

121
00:04:53,708 --> 00:04:55,500
I have a reputation
to maintain.

122
00:04:55,583 --> 00:04:58,000
Losing would be-- I--
no, I can't lose.

123

Don't tell me you've forgotten

124

actually be fun.

125

Looks like you're clearly not
used to reasonable compromise.

great combo.

Christmas tokens?

158
00:06:35,708 --> 00:06:38,292
Yes. You take one, think of a
Christmas wish,

159
00:06:38,375 --> 00:06:39,542
throw it into the fountain
out front,

160

You are too good to us, Alicia.

Thanks, Kathy.

183

You guys help
keep my skills sharp.

184
00:07:54,542 --> 00:07:56,667
If the center had a Yelp page,
I'd give you five stars.

Enjoy.

186
00:07:59,750 --> 00:08:01,167

There you go. Enjoy.

188
00:08:03,667 --> 00:08:06,167
Thank you so much.
Okay, what would you like today?

189
00:08:06,292 --> 00:08:07,833
Some mashed potatoes?

190

Okay.

some lunch today, sir?

This all looks marvelous.

The Kringle Cook-Off

245
00:10:38,583 --> 00:10:40,042
is a culinary competition

246
00:10:40,167 --> 00:10:41,875
that happens every
December in Chicago.

247
00:10:41,958 --> 00:10:44,833
Four aspiring chefs
compete for the chance

248
00:10:44,917 --> 00:10:46,667
to create the menu
for the Kringle's

249
00:10:46,750 --> 00:10:48,125
annual Christmas Eve party.

250
00:10:48,208 --> 00:10:50,458
See?
It's a big deal.

251
00:10:50,542 --> 00:10:51,750
Sometimes, celebrities

252
00:10:51,833 --> 00:10:54,500
and political figures
attend the party.

253
00:10:54,542 --> 00:10:57,583
This could change
a chef's entire life!

254
00:10:57,667 --> 00:10:59,292
Then, we should be
celebrating.

255
00:10:59,375 --> 00:11:02,417
Yeah, but...
(sighing)

256
00:11:02,500 --> 00:11:03,917
...I didn't apply.

257
00:11:04,042 --> 00:11:05,792
There has to be
some sort of mistake.

258
00:11:05,875 --> 00:11:07,625
Is there a number
you can call?

259
00:11:08,583 --> 00:11:10,625

Hi. Yes,
this is Alicia Gellar calling.

263
00:11:19,958 --> 00:11:23,667
I received an invitation

Woman:
Oh, Alicia Gellar?

Congratulations.

266

Yeah, about that,
I'm so confused.

267
00:11:29,458 --> 00:11:30,708
I didn't apply to participate,

268
00:11:30,792 --> 00:11:32,250
so there has
to be some sort of mix-up.

269
00:11:32,375 --> 00:11:35,250
Woman: No mix-up. One of our
competitors had to drop out

270
00:11:35,333 --> 00:11:37,292
at the last minute
and your name was suggested.

271
00:11:37,375 --> 00:11:39,250
By who?

information is confidential.

Woman:
Perfect. We'll see you then.

278
00:11:54,542 --> 00:11:57,417
Someone put my name
in the competition.

279
00:11:57,542 --> 00:11:59,083
Well, don't look at me.

280
00:12:01,250 --> 00:12:03,417
I think I know who it is.

281
00:12:05,333 --> 00:12:07,875
Bobby, I've known you forever.

282
00:12:07,958 --> 00:12:11,333

might have put my name in.

283
00:12:11,417 --> 00:12:13,000
Bobby:
Nope, it wasn't me.

284
00:12:13,042 --> 00:12:14,667
So, you really
didn't apply for me?

285
00:12:14,750 --> 00:12:16,333
I swear!

286
00:12:16,375 --> 00:12:18,125
I didn't even know you could
apply on behalf of someone else.

287
00:12:18,208 --> 00:12:20,000
But what difference
does it make?

288
00:12:20,083 --> 00:12:23,167
This is the Kringle cook-off.

289
00:12:23,292 --> 00:12:24,333
You should be ecstatic.

290
00:12:24,375 --> 00:12:25,875
I am,

291
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:27,375
but it sort of
feels like a trick.

292
00:12:27,500 --> 00:12:28,833
Don't be ridiculous.

293
00:12:28,875 --> 00:12:31,375
So, you really think
I'm ready?

294
00:12:31,458 --> 00:12:32,583
You listen to me.

295
00:12:32,708 --> 00:12:34,958
I'd hire you back
in a New York minute

296
00:12:35,042 --> 00:12:36,583
if I thought
you'd move back to Jersey.

297
00:12:36,708 --> 00:12:38,000
You really mean that?

298
00:12:38,042 --> 00:12:39,625
Do I ever say
what I don't mean?

299
00:12:39,708 --> 00:12:41,000
Thanks, Bobby.

300
00:12:41,042 --> 00:12:42,833
Don't thank me.
Go win this thing.

301
00:12:42,958 --> 00:12:45,708
Okay. Talk to you later.

as much as anyone else does.

308
00:13:15,542 --> 00:13:17,875

and some new ones, as well.

328
00:14:08,375 --> 00:14:11,667
As most of you know,
I am Logan Forrest -

329
00:14:11,792 --> 00:14:13,042
head chef at the Old Stone

330
00:14:13,208 --> 00:14:15,000
and trusted board member of
the Kringle Foundation,

331
00:14:15,083 --> 00:14:18,792
and I will also be a mentor
in this year's competition.

332
00:14:18,875 --> 00:14:21,875
It looks to be a great year,
and I look forward

333

Chicago-based Christmas event.

336
00:14:28,625 --> 00:14:30,292
Now, enough about me,

337
00:14:30,375 --> 00:14:32,083
let's put our hands
together for the brains

338
00:14:32,167 --> 00:14:33,167

Please welcome to the stage

340
00:14:34,875 --> 00:14:36,958
my own mentor,
my dear friend,

341
00:14:37,042 --> 00:14:39,917

Viola Kringle.

342
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:41,167

You nailed it.
(laughing)

344
00:14:43,125 --> 00:14:45,000
Thank you, everyone.

345
00:14:45,083 --> 00:14:47,958
It is such a thrill
to be doing this again

346
00:14:48,042 --> 00:14:51,125
for the 18th year
in a row.

347
00:14:51,208 --> 00:14:54,333
I am honored to be standing up
here in front of all of you,

348
00:14:54,417 --> 00:14:58,875
especially our four
incredibly talented competitors.

349
00:14:59,958 --> 00:15:01,333
Nothing brings me
more joy than helping

350

up-and-coming
chefs find success.

351
00:15:05,125 --> 00:15:06,833
That's why I became
a restaurateur,

352
00:15:06,917 --> 00:15:09,667
and that's why
my husband Rick and I--

353
00:15:09,750 --> 00:15:12,542
Come here Rick.
He's shy.

354
00:15:12,542 --> 00:15:13,958
(all laughing)

355
00:15:14,042 --> 00:15:16,792
That's why my husband
Rick and I created

356
00:15:16,875 --> 00:15:19,583
this fun
and festive competition.

357
00:15:19,667 --> 00:15:24,375
Now, the rules of the Kringle
Cook-Off are simple.

358
00:15:24,458 --> 00:15:27,167
Each of you will be matched with
a seasoned chef as your mentor,

359
00:15:27,208 --> 00:15:29,792
to help guide you
for the next two weeks,

360
00:15:29,875 --> 00:15:33,042
in order to create an exquisite
three-course holiday menu.

361
00:15:33,167 --> 00:15:36,000
Whoever impresses
the judges the most

362
00:15:36,083 --> 00:15:38,167
will serve
their spectacular dishes

363
00:15:38,250 --> 00:15:41,958
at our annual
Christmas Eve party.

364
00:15:42,042 --> 00:15:45,583
This is a
once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,

365
00:15:45,667 --> 00:15:47,667
so make the most of it.

366
00:15:47,750 --> 00:15:50,500
Oh,
and don't forget to have fun.

367
00:15:50,583 --> 00:15:52,000
(crowd laughing)

368
00:15:52,167 --> 00:15:53,833
And add a dash of Christmas
seasoning to every plate.

369
00:15:53,875 --> 00:15:56,125
Now...

370
00:15:56,208 --> 00:15:59,333
it is time to match you
with your mentors.

371
00:15:59,417 --> 00:16:01,250
Kate McCartney,

372
00:16:01,333 --> 00:16:04,417
you will be matched
with Chef Alfonso.

373
00:16:04,500 --> 00:16:06,042
(crowd gasping)

374
00:16:08,292 --> 00:16:12,333
Alicia Gellar,
you will be matched with...

375
00:16:12,417 --> 00:16:16,042
Not him, not him,
not him, not him...

376
00:16:16,167 --> 00:16:18,417
...Chef Logan Forrest.

377
00:16:18,542 --> 00:16:20,958
(crowd gasping)

378
00:16:22,792 --> 00:16:25,417
Well... this should
be fun.

379
00:16:28,875 --> 00:16:30,583
Gellar,

380
00:16:30,708 --> 00:16:33,250
9 a.m. tomorrow
at the Old Stone. Capiche?

381
00:16:33,375 --> 00:16:35,500
Logan.

382
00:16:35,625 --> 00:16:37,833
Chef Logan.

383
00:16:37,917 --> 00:16:41,000
I am so sorry
about the other night.

384
00:16:41,042 --> 00:16:42,583
I didn't know who you were.

385
00:16:42,667 --> 00:16:46,458
I shouldn't have
called you smug and irritating.

386
00:16:46,542 --> 00:16:49,292
It's all right. Gordon Ramsay's
called me much worse.

387
00:16:49,375 --> 00:16:50,458
So, tomorrow?

388
00:16:50,542 --> 00:16:53,333
Yes, Chef.
9 a.m., I'll be there.

389
00:16:54,542 --> 00:16:55,625
Logan?

390
00:16:55,708 --> 00:16:59,208
Hi, Viola, Rick.

391
00:16:59,292 --> 00:17:00,833
It is so nice
to meet you both.

392
00:17:00,958 --> 00:17:04,667
I am such a huge fan, truly.

393
00:17:04,750 --> 00:17:06,750
Alicia, it is our pleasure.

394
00:17:06,833 --> 00:17:09,708
We're just so grateful that you
were able to take part

395
00:17:09,833 --> 00:17:10,917
in this so last minute.

396
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:12,417
Of course.
I wouldn't miss it.

397
00:17:12,500 --> 00:17:15,750
Well, we cannot wait to see
what you two create together,

398
00:17:15,833 --> 00:17:18,208
so no pressure.

399
00:17:18,292 --> 00:17:20,000
And please, don't be intimidated
by all the glitz, okay?

400
00:17:20,042 --> 00:17:21,375
At the end of the day,

401
00:17:21,458 --> 00:17:23,417
this competition is about
cooking delicious food

402
00:17:23,500 --> 00:17:25,917
and delighting
in the Christmas season.

403
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:27,833
Delighting or avoiding.

404
00:17:27,958 --> 00:17:30,083
Ignore him.
Logan's been a scrooge

405
00:17:30,167 --> 00:17:33,167
ever since we first met,
but we still love him anyway.

406
00:17:33,250 --> 00:17:34,708
One of the contestants
is calling us over.

407
00:17:34,792 --> 00:17:36,750
Oh. Of course, he is.

408
00:17:36,833 --> 00:17:38,000
Alicia,
it was so nice to meet you,

409
00:17:38,042 --> 00:17:39,917
and we'll be in touch.

410
00:17:40,042 --> 00:17:42,083
Good luck.

411
00:17:43,625 --> 00:17:45,625
9 a.m., sharp.

412

♪

413
00:18:07,542 --> 00:18:09,125
Hello?

414
00:18:09,208 --> 00:18:11,958
Logan:
I'm in the kitchen.

415
00:18:12,042 --> 00:18:15,250
That was a warm,
nice greeting.

416
00:18:18,292 --> 00:18:19,708
(exhaling sharply)

417
00:18:22,208 --> 00:18:23,500
(sighing)
Good morning.

418
00:18:23,583 --> 00:18:25,000
Good morning, mentee.
Here, put this on.

419
00:18:25,125 --> 00:18:26,667
So, I was...

420
00:18:26,750 --> 00:18:29,333
brainstorming last night about
what the menu could be,

421
00:18:29,375 --> 00:18:30,875
and I was thinking
a casserole--

422
00:18:30,958 --> 00:18:32,292
Not so fast, Gellar.

423
00:18:32,375 --> 00:18:34,500
First, I need to see
you can actually cook.

424
00:18:34,583 --> 00:18:37,292
Excuse me?

425
00:18:37,375 --> 00:18:39,167
I have laid out
13 ingredients.

426
00:18:39,250 --> 00:18:41,667
You need to cook me
a delicious dish

427
00:18:41,750 --> 00:18:44,208
with only these ingredients.

428
00:18:44,292 --> 00:18:47,833
Um, okay, can I have
some time to prepare?

429
00:18:47,958 --> 00:18:49,375
No.
That's the point.

430
00:18:49,375 --> 00:18:51,500
I need to make sure
you can cook under pressure.

431
00:18:51,583 --> 00:18:54,250
This competition
is not the senior center.

432
00:18:54,333 --> 00:18:58,375
You have... 45 minutes.

433
00:18:58,458 --> 00:19:01,042
- Seriously?
- I don't joke in the kitchen.

434
00:19:01,042 --> 00:19:03,917
Starting now.

435
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:13,958
♪

436
00:19:48,167 --> 00:19:51,292
And... done.

437
00:19:54,125 --> 00:19:55,542
(exhaling sharply)

438
00:20:03,708 --> 00:20:05,833
Mmm.

439
00:20:05,917 --> 00:20:08,417
Fish is a bit dry.

440
00:20:11,958 --> 00:20:13,167
Vegetables are soggy.

441
00:20:13,208 --> 00:20:16,542
Okay.
Um, what about the sauce?

442
00:20:20,917 --> 00:20:23,500
It's okay.
A little bland.

443
00:20:23,625 --> 00:20:24,792
If, we're going to have
a chance of winning this,

444
00:20:24,875 --> 00:20:26,292
let's take risks.

445
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,917
Well, if I had time to--

446
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:32,333
Where were you trained again?

447
00:20:33,625 --> 00:20:35,292
I'm self-taught.

448
00:20:35,375 --> 00:20:37,917
Right.
Okay.

449
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,333
Look, I don't want
to be mean,

450
00:20:40,417 --> 00:20:42,542
but the Kringle cook-off
requires excellence,

451
00:20:42,667 --> 00:20:43,792
and I just don't
think you're ready yet.

452
00:20:43,875 --> 00:20:46,333
Maybe my dish was bland
because you chose

453
00:20:46,375 --> 00:20:48,167
unoriginal ingredients.

454
00:20:48,250 --> 00:20:50,125
Oh, so it's my fault
you made a mediocre dish?

455
00:20:50,208 --> 00:20:52,167
No, it's your fault
you're a bad teacher.

456
00:20:52,250 --> 00:20:55,167
You know, if this were Hogwarts,
you'd be Snape.

457
00:20:55,250 --> 00:20:57,833
Yeah, he's the best.
He's-- He's a hero.

458
00:20:57,917 --> 00:20:59,333
What?

459
00:20:59,417 --> 00:21:01,083
Did you not read the books?

460
00:21:01,083 --> 00:21:04,125
- Of course not. I'm an adult.
- Oh, wow. Okay, strike two.

461
00:21:04,125 --> 00:21:05,292
Okay, you know what?

462
00:21:05,375 --> 00:21:06,917
- I don't need this.
- What are you doing?

463
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,792
A good teacher doesn't
set their student up to fail.

464
00:21:09,875 --> 00:21:11,333
You're leaving, seriously?

465
00:21:11,417 --> 00:21:13,625
You are just like every other
cynical chef in this city.

Oh, good,
you've come to your senses.

469
00:21:34,458 --> 00:21:37,000
- Having a fun first day?
- Mm.

470
00:21:37,042 --> 00:21:39,125
William.
Don't even get me started.

471
00:21:39,208 --> 00:21:40,250
She just walked out.

472
00:21:40,333 --> 00:21:41,542
I was teaching her a lesson

473
00:21:41,625 --> 00:21:43,167
on the importance of
cooking under pressure.

474
00:21:43,208 --> 00:21:44,833

No.

I mean, maybe a little,

478
00:21:49,750 --> 00:21:51,000
but that is how cooks
learn to get better.

479
00:21:51,083 --> 00:21:53,542
She is too sensitive
to make it as a real chef.

480
00:21:53,625 --> 00:21:56,500
Well, not every chef
needs to be cutthroat

481
00:21:56,625 --> 00:21:57,833
and emotionally closed off in
order to thrive, you know.

482
00:21:57,875 --> 00:21:59,917
She's not even
professionally trained.

483
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:01,417
Neither were you.

484
00:22:04,583 --> 00:22:05,917
So, she's pretty
strong-willed, huh?

485
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:07,625
Wow, that's one way to put it.

486
00:22:07,708 --> 00:22:11,250
You ever get the sense that
maybe she's had a hard life?

487
00:22:11,375 --> 00:22:13,125
I have no idea. Why?

488
00:22:13,208 --> 00:22:15,167
Just curious, that's all.

489
00:22:15,250 --> 00:22:17,750
Look, it wasn't that long ago

490
00:22:17,833 --> 00:22:21,292
that you needed a mentor
to support you, to teach you,

491
00:22:21,375 --> 00:22:24,333
to encourage you to be
the best that you could be.

492
00:22:24,417 --> 00:22:25,500
Do you think
you'd be where you are

493
00:22:25,542 --> 00:22:26,833
if Viola didn't
nurture your gift?

494

No.

502
00:22:57,292 --> 00:22:59,875
- So, you just left?
- Yeah!

503
00:22:59,958 --> 00:23:01,583
He was being a total jerk.

00:23:01,667 --> 00:23:03,333
Bobby: Are you insane?

505
00:23:03,458 --> 00:23:04,708
What about the competition?

506
00:23:04,792 --> 00:23:06,417
You're still
going to compete, right?

507
00:23:06,500 --> 00:23:08,208
I plan to, but I do not know

508
00:23:08,292 --> 00:23:09,167
how I'm gonna work with him.

509
00:23:09,292 --> 00:23:11,667
He's infuriating.

510
00:23:11,708 --> 00:23:13,667
Come on, you can't let
some ego-driven nitwit

511
00:23:13,792 --> 00:23:15,333
mess this
opportunity up for you.

512
00:23:15,375 --> 00:23:16,917
It's a chance of a lifetime.

513
00:23:17,042 --> 00:23:19,375
Woman: He's right, Lish'.
Every chef has an ego.

514
00:23:19,500 --> 00:23:21,667
I thought Bobby was a knob
the first time I met him.

515
00:23:21,750 --> 00:23:23,167
Are you sure you're just not

516
00:23:23,333 --> 00:23:25,333
looking for a reason to quit?

517
00:23:25,375 --> 00:23:27,000
No. I mean...

518
00:23:27,083 --> 00:23:28,250
(sighing)
...I don't know.

519
00:23:28,333 --> 00:23:31,292
Ever since, you know...

520
00:23:31,375 --> 00:23:33,000
I just-- I haven't felt
totally confident

521
00:23:33,083 --> 00:23:35,500
in the kitchen,
and after what happened today,

522
00:23:35,542 --> 00:23:37,708
maybe he's right.

523
00:23:37,792 --> 00:23:40,042
Maybe I am not meant
to be a real chef.

524
00:23:40,125 --> 00:23:41,833
Maybe I am mediocre.

525
00:23:41,875 --> 00:23:44,250
Stop. Don't go there.
It's been two years now.

526
00:23:44,333 --> 00:23:46,500
And it wasn't your fault, okay?

527
00:23:46,542 --> 00:23:49,625
Cooking is your calling.

528
00:23:49,708 --> 00:23:51,500
It's time for you
to prove to yourself

529
00:23:51,625 --> 00:23:54,042
that you're one of the most
talented chefs in Chicago.

530
00:23:54,125 --> 00:23:58,333
Okay. Okay. I'll try.

536
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:34,375
Oh. Hey...

537
00:24:34,458 --> 00:24:36,750
I got one.

538
00:24:36,875 --> 00:24:38,000
Nice.

539
00:24:38,042 --> 00:24:41,042
So, um, I got
something in the mail today.

Ken: Oh, yeah? What's that?

541
00:24:42,292 --> 00:24:45,083
It's actually, silly.

542
00:24:45,167 --> 00:24:46,875
Should I be worried?

543
00:24:46,875 --> 00:24:49,667
No, no.

544
00:24:49,708 --> 00:24:53,250
It's a surprise,
for Christmas.

545
00:24:53,333 --> 00:24:56,667
I thought we agreed to keep
Christmas low-key this year.

546
00:24:56,750 --> 00:24:59,333
Don't worry,
it's not a big deal.

(chuckling)
Good.

548
00:25:02,333 --> 00:25:05,125
(gasping)
I got another piece.

549
00:25:06,458 --> 00:25:08,333
Yeah, keep these, continue down.

550
00:25:08,417 --> 00:25:10,417
I think we need to get those
bulbs replaced and then...

Excuse me. Well, look who it is.

00:25:16,333 --> 00:25:18,667
You ready to get back to work?

554
00:25:18,708 --> 00:25:21,333
That depends.
Are you ready to apologize?

555
00:25:21,417 --> 00:25:23,667
Okay.

556
00:25:23,792 --> 00:25:27,917
I am sorry that I
was a bit harsh yesterday.

557
00:25:27,917 --> 00:25:30,167
I was just trying to make sure
you were actually, truly ready.

558
00:25:30,333 --> 00:25:32,500
Watch and learn.

Still think I'm not
cut out for the competition?

562
00:26:19,333 --> 00:26:20,542
Where did you learn to do this?

563
00:26:20,542 --> 00:26:23,292
I told you, I'm self-taught.

564
00:26:23,375 --> 00:26:25,042
I know, but how?

565
00:26:25,125 --> 00:26:28,167
I read cookbooks
obsessively as a kid.

566
00:26:28,208 --> 00:26:31,042
I wanted to learn
the complexity of flavors

567
00:26:31,125 --> 00:26:32,417
and the different techniques
that would elevate a dish.

568
00:26:32,500 --> 00:26:34,667
I know, but how did you learn?

569
00:26:34,750 --> 00:26:36,667
Eventually, I started
cooking with my parents.

570
00:26:36,750 --> 00:26:39,292
My mother was my sous chef.

571
00:26:39,375 --> 00:26:40,833
It was my favorite
part of the day,

572
00:26:40,917 --> 00:26:43,083
learning new recipes with her.

and what I'm good at, especially
at Christmas.

576
00:26:50,958 --> 00:26:54,792
I deserve to be
in this competition.

577
00:26:57,667 --> 00:26:59,167
You're right.

00:27:00,542 --> 00:27:01,792

Look, I'm sorry about yesterday.

I didn't mean to be a jerk.

It's my job to make you

582
00:27:08,542 --> 00:27:12,000
the best chef possible, to push
you out of your comfort zone.

583
00:27:12,083 --> 00:27:14,833
I get that.
But for this to work,

584
00:27:14,917 --> 00:27:16,542
you have to start
treating me like an equal.

585
00:27:16,625 --> 00:27:18,042
This isn't Hell's Kitchen.

586
00:27:18,167 --> 00:27:20,458
I know. I just...

587
00:27:20,542 --> 00:27:22,083
I really want to win this.

588
00:27:22,167 --> 00:27:24,583
There are some people
who think the only reason

I have any success as a chef

590
00:27:26,208 --> 00:27:29,208
is because Viola has
coddled me my whole career. I...

591
00:27:29,292 --> 00:27:32,458
I need this.

592
00:27:32,542 --> 00:27:34,625
And you don't think
I want to win too?

593
00:27:34,708 --> 00:27:37,833
This could
change my entire life.

594
00:27:37,875 --> 00:27:40,250
Can we start over?
I will be on my best behavior,

595
00:27:40,333 --> 00:27:42,875
I... I promise.

596
00:27:46,208 --> 00:27:47,500
And, uh...

597
00:27:47,542 --> 00:27:49,042
what are the odds

598
00:27:49,125 --> 00:27:51,958
that you won't tell anybody
that I'm a secret Potterhead?

599
00:27:53,458 --> 00:27:56,125
Highly, highly unlikely.

600
00:27:56,208 --> 00:27:57,792
(both laughing)

601
00:27:57,917 --> 00:27:59,333
You should read the books,
though. They are fantastic.

602
00:27:59,375 --> 00:28:01,375
This is fun.

603
00:28:01,458 --> 00:28:02,833
This is creative.
This is playful.

604
00:28:02,958 --> 00:28:05,500
And this bite,
with the popcorn right here,

605
00:28:05,583 --> 00:28:06,750
it's perfection.

606
00:28:06,833 --> 00:28:08,500
Oh, it's coming.

607
00:28:08,583 --> 00:28:10,667
This is good.

608
00:28:14,458 --> 00:28:16,292
Or maybe the main course

609
00:28:16,375 --> 00:28:18,833
could be a New York strip roast

610
00:28:18,917 --> 00:28:23,333
with rosemary orange crust
and herb and butter.

611
00:28:23,375 --> 00:28:26,250
Yeah, that sounds a little
too much like Sunday dinner.

612
00:28:26,333 --> 00:28:27,583
I think we need to lean
more into the fine dining -

613
00:28:27,583 --> 00:28:29,250
oysters, caviar, lamb.

614
00:28:29,333 --> 00:28:33,250
Oysters and caviar?
That sounds so pretentious.

615
00:28:33,333 --> 00:28:34,917
The clientele that come to this
party are pretentious.

616
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:36,875
I mean,
have you seen the guest list?

617
00:28:36,958 --> 00:28:40,625
Look, I don't care if
Oprah is on that list.

618
00:28:40,708 --> 00:28:43,833
This is a Christmas Eve party.

619
00:28:43,917 --> 00:28:46,250
The food should feel festive.

620
00:28:46,333 --> 00:28:48,583
Don't tell me you're one of
those Christmas-loving lunatics.

621
00:28:48,667 --> 00:28:51,708
Sue me for finding joy
in the holiday season.

622
00:28:51,833 --> 00:28:55,292
(exhaling sharply)
Great.

623
00:28:55,375 --> 00:28:56,708
Look, I know that this is

624
00:28:56,792 --> 00:28:59,000
a Christmas party
we're creating a menu for,

625
00:28:59,042 --> 00:29:00,417
but that doesn't mean
the food needs to be shaped

626
00:29:00,500 --> 00:29:02,167
like reindeer, okay?

627
00:29:02,292 --> 00:29:04,250
Christmas is for kids.
We're cooking for adults.

628
00:29:05,750 --> 00:29:09,833
No one outgrows Christmas.
That's the beauty of it.

629
00:29:09,958 --> 00:29:13,125
The holiday season is meant to
make you feel like a kid again,

630
00:29:13,208 --> 00:29:15,292
and I want the people
on that guest list

631
00:29:15,375 --> 00:29:17,000
to feel that way, too.

632
00:29:17,083 --> 00:29:19,375
Well, not everybody associates
Christmas with good memories.

633
00:29:21,208 --> 00:29:23,417
I'm sorry.
Do you want to talk about it?

634
00:29:23,500 --> 00:29:26,167
I'm a great listener.

635
00:29:26,250 --> 00:29:27,708
No. I prefer to
stuff my feelings down,

636
00:29:27,833 --> 00:29:30,042
like a normal person.

637
00:29:30,042 --> 00:29:31,833
Can we get back
to the menu, please?

638
00:29:31,875 --> 00:29:34,000
All right,
you know what we need to do?

639
00:29:34,083 --> 00:29:36,875
We need to give our
taste buds inspiration.

640
00:29:36,875 --> 00:29:39,500
- What?
- Yeah.

641
00:29:39,542 --> 00:29:40,750
Sitting here, disagreeing
isn't getting us anywhere,

642
00:29:40,833 --> 00:29:42,667
so let's take a stroll.

643
00:29:42,708 --> 00:29:43,667
A stroll? Where?

644
00:29:43,708 --> 00:29:45,000
Okay.

645

646
00:29:52,792 --> 00:29:55,833

00:29:55,875 --> 00:29:59,042
I am telling you the food
is out of this world.

648
00:29:59,125 --> 00:30:01,417
Let me guess,
candy cane ice cream

649
00:30:01,417 --> 00:30:03,667
and Santa-shaped gingerbread.

650
00:30:03,833 --> 00:30:05,500
Can you please
just give it a chance?

651
00:30:07,167 --> 00:30:09,375
All right, 20 minutes,

I think between

673
00:31:04,958 --> 00:31:08,167
your fine dining expertise
and my home-style cooking,

674
00:31:08,250 --> 00:31:10,875
we could create
a show-stopping menu,

675
00:31:10,958 --> 00:31:14,417

677
00:31:17,208 --> 00:31:19,000
Actually, that's not a bad idea.

678
00:31:19,083 --> 00:31:21,917
But that does not mean we are
going full-throttle Christmas.

679
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:23,667
I mean, just because I did not
despise this experience

680
00:31:23,750 --> 00:31:26,542
doesn't mean I am
suddenly Cindy Lou Who.

681
00:31:26,667 --> 00:31:29,125
Well, thank you for clarifying.

682
00:31:29,208 --> 00:31:30,750
So, um...

683
00:31:30,875 --> 00:31:32,583
what's your story, anyway?

684
00:31:32,708 --> 00:31:35,042
How did you learn to cook?

685
00:31:35,125 --> 00:31:39,958
Well, when I was a kid,
about 13 Viola was volunteering

686
00:31:40,042 --> 00:31:42,625
at a drop-in center
for troubled youth

687
00:31:42,708 --> 00:31:45,250
that I was
spending some time at,

688
00:31:45,333 --> 00:31:47,333
and we just kind of
bonded immediately.

689
00:31:47,458 --> 00:31:49,000
And eventually,
she took me under her wing

690
00:31:49,083 --> 00:31:50,500
and started giving me
cooking lessons twice a week

691
00:31:50,625 --> 00:31:53,000
as a way to keep me out of
trouble. And as I got older,

692
00:31:53,167 --> 00:31:54,333
I started getting
pretty good, you know,

693
00:31:54,375 --> 00:31:57,167
on all these local
culinary competitions.

694
00:31:57,250 --> 00:31:58,458
So,
when I graduated high school,

695
00:31:58,542 --> 00:32:00,250
Viola got me a job in the
kitchen at the Garnet

696
00:32:00,333 --> 00:32:03,000
and worked my way up from there.

697
00:32:03,042 --> 00:32:05,083
- Wow. That's awesome.
- Yeah.

698
00:32:05,167 --> 00:32:08,250
Viola must have really
seen something in you.

699
00:32:08,333 --> 00:32:11,500
Yeah. I mean, nobody has
believed in me the way she did.

700
00:32:11,542 --> 00:32:13,167
I owe her everything.

701
00:32:13,208 --> 00:32:15,333
Well, your parents
must be so proud of you.

702
00:32:15,375 --> 00:32:18,958
I don't really
see them, actually.

703
00:32:18,958 --> 00:32:21,667
Oh. Oh, my gosh, I am so sorry.

704
00:32:21,750 --> 00:32:23,458
No, no, no, it's fine. I had a--

705
00:32:23,542 --> 00:32:27,208
I had a rather dysfunctional
family growing up.

706
00:32:27,333 --> 00:32:29,958
I never fit in at school.
I was always getting in trouble.

707
00:32:30,042 --> 00:32:33,042
And cooking gave me
that sense of belonging.

708
00:32:33,125 --> 00:32:36,250
I don't even want to think
where I'd be without it.

709
00:32:37,542 --> 00:32:39,833
See?

710
00:32:39,917 --> 00:32:41,375
That wasn't so bad.

711
00:32:41,500 --> 00:32:44,500
(both laughing)

712
00:32:44,583 --> 00:32:46,417
I haven't talked about that
stuff in a long time.

713
00:32:46,500 --> 00:32:47,917
I mean, sorry to unload.

714
00:32:48,042 --> 00:32:52,042
If it makes you feel any better,
I, too, was a misfit at school.

715
00:32:52,125 --> 00:32:55,250
- Oh, I doubt that.
- No, it's true.

716
00:32:55,333 --> 00:32:57,917
Kids would bully me
all the time for being adopted,

717
00:32:58,000 --> 00:32:59,333
and it didn't help that I was

718
00:32:59,500 --> 00:33:01,750
the only one in
my class that was mixed.

719
00:33:01,833 --> 00:33:05,917
Cooking, for me, was my escape.

720
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:07,750
I didn't know you were adopted.

721
00:33:07,833 --> 00:33:11,667
It's not exactly on my resume.

722
00:33:11,750 --> 00:33:13,292
Wow.

723
00:33:13,375 --> 00:33:16,333
I mean, do you know anything
about your birth parents?

724
00:33:16,417 --> 00:33:19,667
I actually just did a DNA test.

725
00:33:19,708 --> 00:33:21,667
I doubt it'll say something.

726
00:33:21,708 --> 00:33:23,542
- Yeah.
- Logan?

727
00:33:23,667 --> 00:33:24,875
- Hey.
- Woman: Yo, Logan.

728
00:33:24,958 --> 00:33:26,875
I never thought I'd see the day,
Logan Forrest

729
00:33:26,958 --> 00:33:28,000
at a Christmas market.

730
00:33:28,042 --> 00:33:30,292
I was dragged here
against my will.

731
00:33:30,375 --> 00:33:33,667
Hey, you're one of the chefs
in the Kringle Cook-Off.

732
00:33:33,792 --> 00:33:35,042
Yeah. How do you know?

733
00:33:35,125 --> 00:33:37,458
Oh, our parents
are Rick and Viola.

734
00:33:37,542 --> 00:33:38,833
They always give us a rundown
on all the contestants.

735
00:33:38,958 --> 00:33:42,125
Wow. So, you two are Kringles?

736
00:33:42,208 --> 00:33:44,833
Yes, this is Kemi and Michael.

737
00:33:44,958 --> 00:33:46,875
What are you guys doing here?

738
00:33:46,958 --> 00:33:49,000
Enjoying the Christmas season?

739
00:33:49,083 --> 00:33:50,500
Is that such
a hard concept to grasp?

740
00:33:50,542 --> 00:33:52,542
Well, okay, we have to get
back to the restaurant,

741
00:33:52,625 --> 00:33:56,167
and I will see
both of you very soon.

742
00:33:56,250 --> 00:33:57,583
- Mm-hmm.
- We better.

743
00:33:57,667 --> 00:34:00,250
He often goes into
hiding this time of year,

744
00:34:00,333 --> 00:34:02,000
so keep an eye on him.

745
00:34:02,042 --> 00:34:03,167
- Oh, I will.
- Bye.

746
00:34:03,250 --> 00:34:04,292
Logan:
We have to get back to work.

747
00:34:04,375 --> 00:34:06,042
- Just take one...
- Yes, yes.

748
00:34:06,125 --> 00:34:07,458
You know what?
I'm just going to take--

749
00:34:07,542 --> 00:34:09,542
- Just the whole...
- Yeah, just take it.

750
00:34:19,792 --> 00:34:21,000
Here, try this.

751
00:34:22,625 --> 00:34:24,875
Mmm, that's good.

752
00:34:24,958 --> 00:34:26,167
But it needs a little something.

753
00:34:28,042 --> 00:34:29,875
Oh, um, what about the
sage you bought today?

754
00:34:29,958 --> 00:34:33,167
Oh, that could work. Good idea.

755
00:34:35,333 --> 00:34:37,125
Shoot.

756
00:34:37,208 --> 00:34:40,250
Ah, it's getting late.
I gotta get home to my dad.

757
00:34:40,333 --> 00:34:41,958
You live with your dad?

758
00:34:42,042 --> 00:34:43,875
We bought a duplex
together last year.

759
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:45,500
He lives next door.

760
00:34:45,583 --> 00:34:46,667
So, what's the rush?

761
00:34:46,792 --> 00:34:49,875

together on Tuesday nights.

00:41:27,542 --> 00:41:29,625
Merry Christmas!

886
00:41:29,708 --> 00:41:31,667
So, then,
I had to rewrap all of my gifts,

887
00:41:31,750 --> 00:41:33,333
so my parents wouldn't notice.

888
00:41:33,375 --> 00:41:35,708
I still carry the guilt.

889
00:41:38,167 --> 00:41:41,583
Hey, I really appreciate you
getting up there tonight.

890
00:41:41,708 --> 00:41:45,083
It really means a lot.

891
00:41:45,167 --> 00:41:48,125
Well, is there anything else I
can help check off the list?

892
00:41:48,208 --> 00:41:50,667
- Really?
- I mean, sure.

893
00:41:50,708 --> 00:41:53,792
Clearly, I have to get into the
Christmas spirit quick,

894
00:41:53,875 --> 00:41:55,042
if we're gonna have
a chance of winning this.

895
00:41:55,167 --> 00:41:57,333
So... what else you got?

896
00:41:57,417 --> 00:42:00,000
What is your favorite
Christmas tradition?

897
00:42:00,042 --> 00:42:01,875
Well...

898
00:42:01,958 --> 00:42:06,125
it used to be baking
a sweet potato casserole

899
00:42:06,208 --> 00:42:08,583
with my mom every year.
But in terms of the list,

900
00:42:08,708 --> 00:42:12,792
it's either Christmas Pictionary

901
00:42:12,875 --> 00:42:15,500
or decorating the tree.
You pick.

902
00:42:15,625 --> 00:42:18,083
Decorating the tree. Done.

903
00:42:18,208 --> 00:42:20,042
Are you serious?

904
00:42:20,125 --> 00:42:21,917
Well, as long as I get
to put the star on top.

905
00:42:25,125 --> 00:42:27,583
- Come on!
- Okay.

906
00:42:33,208 --> 00:42:34,625
Uh, maybe... Oh.

907
00:42:34,750 --> 00:42:35,833
- Here?
- Yeah.

908
00:42:35,917 --> 00:42:36,833
Okay.

909
00:42:36,917 --> 00:42:39,417
And...

910
00:42:39,542 --> 00:42:41,375
And, uh, what is
this one supposed to be?

911
00:42:41,500 --> 00:42:43,000
It's baby Jesus.

912
00:42:43,125 --> 00:42:46,667
This is baby Jesus?
It looks like a burrito.

913
00:42:46,750 --> 00:42:49,042
Yeah, he's wrapped in a blanket.

914
00:42:49,125 --> 00:42:50,875
I hope you don't
take this the wrong way,

915
00:42:50,958 --> 00:42:53,875
but I really hope that you keep
cooking as your creative outlet.

916
00:42:53,958 --> 00:42:55,833
Some of these ornaments are
going to give me nightmares.

917
00:42:55,875 --> 00:42:58,375
- Come on, I was ten.
- Ten?!

918
00:42:58,458 --> 00:42:59,833
That makes it so much worse!

919
00:42:59,875 --> 00:43:03,125
Gosh, just hand me
an ornament, please.

920
00:43:03,208 --> 00:43:06,542
Hey, I'm wondering if, uh--
oh, sorry to interrupt.

921
00:43:06,625 --> 00:43:07,667
I didn't know you had guests.

922
00:43:07,708 --> 00:43:09,167
Oh, Dad, this is Logan.

923
00:43:09,250 --> 00:43:11,167
He's my mentor for the cook-off.

924
00:43:11,250 --> 00:43:12,542
Logan: Nice to meet you, sir.

925
00:43:12,625 --> 00:43:14,083
I've heard a lot about you.

926
00:43:14,167 --> 00:43:16,417
- Oh, please, call me Ken.
- Oh, Ken.

927
00:43:16,500 --> 00:43:17,583
Well, that's easy to remember.

928
00:43:17,667 --> 00:43:20,000
Favorite baseball player
was Ken Holtzman.

929
00:43:20,042 --> 00:43:22,167
Ken Holtzman, now you're
speaking my language.

930
00:43:22,292 --> 00:43:23,958
He was the best lefty
to ever pitch here.

931
00:43:24,042 --> 00:43:25,292
He should be
in the Hall of Fame.

932
00:43:25,375 --> 00:43:26,833
Absolutely.

933
00:43:26,917 --> 00:43:29,708
Did you want to help us
finish decorating the tree?

934
00:43:29,792 --> 00:43:31,667
Uh, you two seem
like you're on a roll.

935
00:43:31,792 --> 00:43:33,792
No, please, join us.

936
00:43:33,875 --> 00:43:35,708
Alicia said you used to work
for the Chicago Globe.

937
00:43:35,792 --> 00:43:38,500
I would love to hear
about your time there.

938
00:43:38,542 --> 00:43:40,625
You sure I wouldn't
be intruding?

939
00:43:40,708 --> 00:43:42,250
Positive.

940
00:43:42,333 --> 00:43:43,417
Just for a minute.

941
00:43:43,500 --> 00:43:44,958
- All right.
- Let me see.

942
00:43:45,042 --> 00:43:46,167
Ah...

943
00:43:46,208 --> 00:43:48,833
Oh, here's a spot.

944
00:43:53,208 --> 00:43:55,417
Thank you so much, Logan.

945
00:43:55,500 --> 00:43:57,333
You didn't have to.

946
00:43:57,375 --> 00:44:00,583
I know, but... I wanted to.
Also, your dad is awesome.

947
00:44:00,708 --> 00:44:04,167
I'm so glad he stuck
around to help decorate.

948
00:44:04,208 --> 00:44:05,667
Thanks to you.

00:44:05,750 --> 00:44:09,000
Well, I know how much it
meant to you... and your mom.

950
00:44:09,125 --> 00:44:11,250
Anyway...

951
00:44:11,333 --> 00:44:14,292
I'll see you tomorrow.

Viola: What are you doing here?

Did we have a meeting
I forgot about?

958
00:44:39,875 --> 00:44:41,625
No, just a quick question.

959
00:44:41,708 --> 00:44:43,792
- Shoot.
- Do you know why Alicia

960
00:44:43,875 --> 00:44:46,083
hasn't worked
in a kitchen in two years?

961
00:44:46,167 --> 00:44:48,833
No. Her last cooking job
was at Vinnie's.

962
00:44:48,875 --> 00:44:51,000
It closed down
the same year she left,

963
00:44:51,125 --> 00:44:53,333
so I assume that's why she
stopped working there.

964
00:44:53,417 --> 00:44:55,000
Why don't you just ask her?

965
00:44:55,083 --> 00:44:56,833
I don't want
to ask her something

966
00:44:56,875 --> 00:44:58,875
that might make her
uncomfortable.

967
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:01,333
Wow. You're worried about
how it might make her feel?

968
00:45:01,375 --> 00:45:04,375
Is this the same guy who begged
not to be matched with her?

969
00:45:04,458 --> 00:45:05,375
- Rick: No.
- Hmm.

970
00:45:05,500 --> 00:45:07,500
No, not the same guy.

971
00:45:07,542 --> 00:45:10,833
Look, I'm sure it's nothing,
but why does it matter anyway?

972
00:45:10,917 --> 00:45:12,167
She's great
at what she does right?

973
00:45:12,208 --> 00:45:13,583
Right.

you're coming to tomorrow's
Christmas games night, right?

976
00:45:17,292 --> 00:45:19,042
I just sent out e-vites
to all the contestants.

977
00:45:19,125 --> 00:45:21,000
I hope
it's not too short notice.

978
00:45:21,042 --> 00:45:23,667
Ah... we'll see. Alicia and I
still have a lot of work to do.

No, no, no, not this year.
No excuses.

Fine. If Alicia wants to go,
I'll go.

982
00:45:31,750 --> 00:45:33,083
Perfect. We'll see you then.

- I think you're right.
- Hmm...

Alicia:
Hey, I'd love some more cheddar.

987
00:45:42,833 --> 00:45:44,500
Yes. Thank you.

988
00:45:44,625 --> 00:45:46,250
Alicia?

989
00:45:46,375 --> 00:45:48,458
Hey!

990
00:45:48,542 --> 00:45:50,333
Hey, Kate!
It's so nice to see you!

991
00:45:50,375 --> 00:45:53,625
Um, how are things going
with you and Alfonso?

992
00:45:53,708 --> 00:45:55,375
Oh, uh, they're pretty good.

993
00:45:55,375 --> 00:45:57,708
I mean, he's a bit
too serious for my taste,

994
00:45:57,833 --> 00:45:59,667
but I'm learning a lot.

995
00:45:59,750 --> 00:46:01,500
How about you? How's Logan?

996
00:46:01,625 --> 00:46:03,250
Good.

997
00:46:03,250 --> 00:46:05,792
You know, Alfonso sure
has a lot to say about him.

998
00:46:05,875 --> 00:46:07,333
Yeah. What is up with those two?

999
00:46:07,333 --> 00:46:08,708
Don't even get me started.

1000
00:46:08,792 --> 00:46:10,667
He thinks that Logan
has been spoon-fed

1001
00:46:10,750 --> 00:46:12,792
his entire career by Viola

1002
00:46:12,875 --> 00:46:15,958
and that his success is
a result of pure favoritism.

1003
00:46:17,042 --> 00:46:19,000
But Logan's a great chef.

1004
00:46:19,083 --> 00:46:20,917
I don't think Viola
would champion someone

1005
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:23,625
unless they deserved it.

1006
00:46:23,708 --> 00:46:27,500
Honestly,
I think Alfonso is suspicious

1007
00:46:27,583 --> 00:46:28,917
and a little bit jealous.

1008
00:46:29,042 --> 00:46:30,792
Nah, Logan wants
to win fair and square.

1009
00:46:30,875 --> 00:46:33,083
He has a great heart.

1010
00:46:33,167 --> 00:46:35,417
Anyway, tomorrow,
will I see you at game night?

1011
00:46:35,500 --> 00:46:36,583
Ugh. I wish.

1012
00:46:36,667 --> 00:46:38,667
I have a family thing.

1013
00:46:38,708 --> 00:46:40,667
But please, say hello to Viola
and Rick for me, would you?

1014
00:46:40,750 --> 00:46:42,542
Of course.

1015
00:46:42,625 --> 00:46:43,958

we need to add something to the
main dish, like Viola said.

1019
00:47:10,375 --> 00:47:11,792
Uh, maybe a rice bowl.

1020
00:47:11,875 --> 00:47:13,333
I don't know.

1021
00:47:13,417 --> 00:47:16,333

to see a pop of color.

No, no. I'm just waiting

1027
00:47:27,750 --> 00:47:30,000
for the test results
from my DNA test.

1028
00:47:30,042 --> 00:47:31,333
It's taking longer
than I thought.

Guilty? Why?

1032
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:42,500
I feel like I'm betraying
my dad or something.

1033
00:47:42,583 --> 00:47:45,917
I mean, I have had
the most amazing childhood.

1034
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:48,917
That should be enough, right?

1035
00:47:49,042 --> 00:47:52,167
But I can't help, but feel
there's a piece missing.

1036
00:47:52,208 --> 00:47:55,667
Well, it's normal to be curious.
I would be, too.

But don't ever feel guilty about
doing something for yourself.

1038
00:47:57,958 --> 00:48:00,583
I'm sure your dad
would understand.

1039
00:48:00,667 --> 00:48:03,417
Yeah, maybe.

1040

can I ask you a question?

I'm just wondering why you don't
work in a kitchen anymore.

1043
00:48:09,542 --> 00:48:13,125
I mean, you are so talented.
It just doesn't make sense.

1044
00:48:13,208 --> 00:48:16,167
Doesn't the senior center count?

1045
00:48:16,167 --> 00:48:19,625
You know what I mean.
I mean, did something happen?

1046
00:48:19,708 --> 00:48:21,875
It's just-- just it's an odd
stage in your career

1047
00:48:21,875 --> 00:48:23,458
to take a break.

1048
00:48:25,333 --> 00:48:28,208
You can tell me.

1049
00:48:29,542 --> 00:48:31,792
This story requires a drink.

1050
00:48:31,875 --> 00:48:33,792
Yeah.

1051
00:48:33,875 --> 00:48:36,667
All right.

00:48:36,708 --> 00:48:38,667
So...

00:48:38,708 --> 00:48:40,417
(sighing)
...two years ago,

1054
00:48:40,500 --> 00:48:42,625
I worked at Vinny's.

1055
00:48:42,708 --> 00:48:44,083
I was a sous chef.

1056
00:48:44,167 --> 00:48:46,292
All I did was work.

1057
00:48:46,292 --> 00:48:49,250
My career was everything to me.

1058
00:48:49,250 --> 00:48:52,000
But then,
my mom ended up getting sick

1059
00:48:52,125 --> 00:48:53,583
and I couldn't focus.

1060
00:48:53,667 --> 00:48:57,083
Owners started to take notice.

1061
00:48:57,167 --> 00:49:01,958
One day, after a really hard
hospital visit with my mom,

1062
00:49:01,958 --> 00:49:04,833
a big-time food critic,

1063
00:49:04,875 --> 00:49:08,333
Joe Pinkney, came in to
review the restaurant.

1064
00:49:08,375 --> 00:49:10,333
The head chef was
off at the time

1065
00:49:10,417 --> 00:49:12,458
because this kid
was in a recital,

1066
00:49:12,542 --> 00:49:16,542
so I ended up stepping in, and
this was my moment to shine.

1067
00:49:16,542 --> 00:49:20,792
But I just couldn't stop
thinking about my mom.

1068
00:49:20,875 --> 00:49:22,208
So, he gave my dish

1069
00:49:22,333 --> 00:49:26,375
and the restaurant
a terrible review.

1070
00:49:26,458 --> 00:49:29,167
The restaurant took
a major hit because of it

1071
00:49:29,250 --> 00:49:30,958
and eventually closed down.

1072
00:49:31,042 --> 00:49:33,500
I was fired immediately

1073
00:49:33,542 --> 00:49:38,042
and was told to
find a new profession.

1074
00:49:39,500 --> 00:49:41,708
That broke me.

1075
00:49:41,792 --> 00:49:43,958
All of my hard work just gone.

1076
00:49:45,125 --> 00:49:48,292
I am so sorry
that happened to you.

1077
00:49:48,375 --> 00:49:52,167
I completely lost
my confidence as a chef.

1078
00:49:52,208 --> 00:49:56,042
But because of
this competition and you...

1079
00:49:56,125 --> 00:50:00,167
I can feel it coming back.

1080
00:50:00,208 --> 00:50:01,667
Well, forget about Joe Pinkney.
Forget about Vinny's.

1081
00:50:01,750 --> 00:50:04,833
You have a raw talent that
I've rarely seen in somebody.

1082
00:50:04,875 --> 00:50:08,000
I wholeheartedly
believe in your abilities.

1083
00:50:08,042 --> 00:50:09,208
If we win this thing or not,

1084
00:50:09,333 --> 00:50:12,917
you need to know that you are...

1085
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:15,250
a fantastic chef.

1086
00:50:15,333 --> 00:50:18,125
I feel lucky that
I got to cook with you,

1087
00:50:18,125 --> 00:50:20,708
that I got to know you.

1088
00:50:20,792 --> 00:50:23,625
Win or lose,
we're in this together.

1089
00:50:29,542 --> 00:50:30,583
Okay, so, the desserts

1090
00:50:30,667 --> 00:50:34,458
have to be Christmassy,
but also original.

1091
00:50:34,542 --> 00:50:38,042
Bobby: What about a multi-tiered
style, like winter wonderland?

1092
00:50:38,125 --> 00:50:40,750
We could use white fondant
to look like snow,

1093
00:50:40,833 --> 00:50:43,125
and you know, maybe like a
peppermint candy cane filling.

1094
00:50:43,208 --> 00:50:44,667
Ooh, that sounds so good.

1095
00:50:44,750 --> 00:50:46,167
What do you think?

1096
00:50:46,250 --> 00:50:48,708
Okay, got any ideas for adding
another dessert element?

1097
00:50:48,792 --> 00:50:50,792
Maybe making edible Christmas
ornaments for the tree?

1098
00:50:50,875 --> 00:50:52,500
I thought you'd never ask.

1099
00:50:52,583 --> 00:50:55,667
What are the greatest Italian
delicacies known to man?

1100
00:50:55,750 --> 00:50:57,833
- Struffoli.
- Yes, of course!

1101
00:50:57,875 --> 00:50:59,417
I remember
you made those for me once.

1102
00:50:59,542 --> 00:51:02,833
Are they the little baked
cream puffs glazed in honey?

1103
00:51:02,875 --> 00:51:04,000
You got it.

1104
00:51:04,083 --> 00:51:05,375
You add a
little bit of lemon to it,

1105
00:51:05,500 --> 00:51:07,000
and it's like forget about it.

1106
00:51:07,083 --> 00:51:09,833
Amazing. This is perfect.
I'm so excited.

1107
00:51:09,917 --> 00:51:11,667
Okay, kid, let's do this.

1108
00:51:11,792 --> 00:51:13,708
All right.

1109
00:51:13,792 --> 00:51:23,667
♪

1110
00:51:35,500 --> 00:51:37,792
Listen, you can use the mixer.

1111
00:51:37,875 --> 00:51:39,500
This is the old mixer right
here, you know what I mean?

1112
00:51:39,625 --> 00:51:42,167
Yeah, let's just see
how they turn out.

1113
00:51:42,167 --> 00:51:43,708
I love candy canes, Bobby.

1114
00:51:43,833 --> 00:51:46,750
I think for a little more
wow factor, do a two-tier.

1115
00:51:46,833 --> 00:51:48,292
Alicia: Great idea.

1116
00:51:48,375 --> 00:51:51,917
Something tight and small
and tall will look great.

Alicia:
About five minutes on these?

1118

Bobby: Exactly.
I taught you well.

1119
00:51:59,542 --> 00:52:01,625
So, I'm gonna go in a little bit
harder with the knife.

1120
00:52:01,708 --> 00:52:04,000
Maybe we'll put a
little bit of struffoli on it,

1121
00:52:04,083 --> 00:52:05,833
maybe a poinsettia.

1122
00:52:05,875 --> 00:52:08,500
Good shape.

1123
00:52:08,625 --> 00:52:10,667

That's gonna be great, Bobby.

1124
00:52:10,792 --> 00:52:12,833
Bobby: Just a little
razzle-dazzle like that.

for a festive dessert?

Viola's gonna love it.

Thanks so much, Bobby.

Just don't tell
anyone my secrets.

I have to start getting ready.
We have a games night tonight.

Games night? I thought you two

1136
00:52:40,042 --> 00:52:41,833
could
hardly stand each other.

1137
00:52:41,875 --> 00:52:44,375

- Friendlier?

Are you saying what
I think you're saying?

1139
00:52:46,250 --> 00:52:49,250
I don't know. Maybe.

1140
00:52:49,333 --> 00:52:51,417
- Still gotta figure it out.
- Atta girl.

1141
00:52:51,500 --> 00:52:53,917
You deserve to find someone.
As long as he treats you right

1142
00:52:54,042 --> 00:52:55,667
and he knows how to cook,
then I'm happy.

1143
00:52:55,750 --> 00:52:59,000
Thanks, Bobby.
I'll let you know all about it.

What?
Uh, okay, am I being abducted?

- What?

Just admit it, you like her.

leave the man alone.

00:55:43,042 --> 00:55:44,292
What?

1221

- Everyone can see it, right?
- Definitely.

1222
00:55:47,125 --> 00:55:49,542
See, even he saw it, and he
thought Dan and I were just

1223
00:55:49,667 --> 00:55:51,125
good friends for three years.

1224
00:55:51,208 --> 00:55:52,833

Shh, relax.

1227
00:55:57,417 --> 00:55:59,000
I'm still her mentor.
It's not professional.

Oh, come on.

1229
00:56:00,708 --> 00:56:02,583

- She's right, Logan.

00:56:02,667 --> 00:56:05,042
If you like her,
you should tell her.

1231
00:56:05,125 --> 00:56:06,750
- I don't know.
- Come on.

1232
00:56:06,750 --> 00:56:09,625
What? It's been five years
since you were dating?

1233
00:56:09,708 --> 00:56:12,208
You have to learn
to trust again.

1234
00:56:12,292 --> 00:56:13,542
Not everyone you love

1235
00:56:13,667 --> 00:56:16,833
is going to push you away
when things get hard.

1236
00:56:16,917 --> 00:56:18,458
Give her a chance.

1237
00:56:20,917 --> 00:56:25,250
(exhaling sharply)
Okay, here goes...

1238
00:56:25,333 --> 00:56:26,667
(sighing)

1239
00:56:26,750 --> 00:56:29,417
50% Jamaican.

1240
00:56:29,542 --> 00:56:32,625
30% English descent.

1241
00:56:32,708 --> 00:56:34,000
Wow.

1242
00:56:36,375 --> 00:56:38,833
Wait. What?

1243
00:56:40,208 --> 00:56:41,875
William?

1244
00:56:44,958 --> 00:56:46,875
My grandfather?

1245
00:56:54,417 --> 00:56:56,833
William?

1246
00:56:56,875 --> 00:56:58,417
- What are you doing here?
- Alicia?

1247
00:56:58,500 --> 00:56:59,792
Wha...
(sighing)

1248
00:56:59,875 --> 00:57:01,833
Hi. How...?

1249
00:57:01,875 --> 00:57:04,333
I'm so confused.
How did you know I was here?

1250
00:57:04,417 --> 00:57:06,583
- Grandpa! You made it!
- Hi, sweetheart.

1251
00:57:06,667 --> 00:57:09,083
Dad, what took you so long?

1252
00:57:09,208 --> 00:57:10,250
What?

1253
00:57:10,375 --> 00:57:13,500
Alicia, this is
my father, William.

1254
00:57:13,542 --> 00:57:15,208
Nice to see you again.

1255
00:57:15,292 --> 00:57:17,167
Viola: Oh, again.

1256
00:57:17,250 --> 00:57:19,125
Right, of course.
You two already met

1257
00:57:19,208 --> 00:57:21,208
at the senior center.

1258
00:57:21,333 --> 00:57:24,167
Dad was the one who pushed for
you to be our fourth competitor.

1259
00:57:27,208 --> 00:57:28,417
- Alicia, are you all right?
- Hey!

1260
00:57:28,500 --> 00:57:31,458
Willie, looking dapper.

1261
00:57:31,542 --> 00:57:33,083
- Hey, did you get your results?
- Um...

1262
00:57:33,167 --> 00:57:34,542
No.

1263
00:57:34,667 --> 00:57:36,333
The link didn't open.

1264
00:57:36,417 --> 00:57:38,333
I have to go home, actually.

1265
00:57:38,375 --> 00:57:41,333
- Home already?
- Are you sure?

1266
00:57:41,417 --> 00:57:42,500
Is everything okay?

1267
00:57:42,583 --> 00:57:44,875
Yes. I just forgot
I have to do something.

1268
00:57:44,958 --> 00:57:49,042
Viola, thank you for everything,
but I really have to go.

1269
00:57:49,125 --> 00:57:51,125
Viola: Okay.

1270
00:57:51,208 --> 00:57:52,750
I hope everything is okay.

1271
00:57:52,875 --> 00:57:54,583
Okay, you in for a round?

1272
00:57:54,667 --> 00:57:55,958
- Come on.
- William: Yes, yes, yes, yes.

1273
00:57:56,042 --> 00:57:59,917
Viola: Games night, games night.
Party, party, come on.

1274
00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:09,167
♪

1275
00:58:10,333 --> 00:58:12,958
I got that. Thank you.

1276
00:58:13,042 --> 00:58:15,750
Hey, kid.

1277
00:58:15,875 --> 00:58:17,042
Can we talk?

1278
00:58:17,125 --> 00:58:18,833
Yeah.

1279
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:26,375
I'm so sorry about all this.
I didn't mean to upset you.

1280
00:58:26,458 --> 00:58:29,125
Does anyone else know?

1281
00:58:29,208 --> 00:58:33,333
No, but I'm sure they would be
ecstatic to find out, though.

1282
00:58:33,417 --> 00:58:35,667
The truth is,

1283
00:58:35,708 --> 00:58:39,000
a few years ago,
I suffered a health scare

1284
00:58:39,083 --> 00:58:40,833
and needed heart surgery.

1285
00:58:40,875 --> 00:58:45,333
There was a possibility that
I wouldn't make it out,

1286
00:58:45,417 --> 00:58:46,750
and I couldn't
stop thinking about you,

1287
00:58:46,833 --> 00:58:48,125
my long-lost granddaughter.

1288
00:58:48,208 --> 00:58:51,333
I vowed that I would do
everything in my power

1289
00:58:51,375 --> 00:58:53,250
to find you if I survived.

1290
00:58:53,333 --> 00:58:55,583
So, I took every

1291
00:58:55,708 --> 00:58:57,625
DNA test out there,

1292
00:58:57,708 --> 00:59:00,167
and when you didn't
show up on any of those sites,

1293
00:59:00,250 --> 00:59:01,708
I hired a PI.

1294
00:59:01,708 --> 00:59:03,708
But it wasn't until I threw

1295
00:59:03,708 --> 00:59:06,333
a Christmas coin into that
fountain, wishing for you,

1296
00:59:06,417 --> 00:59:09,667
that the phone finally rang.

1297
00:59:09,750 --> 00:59:13,083
It was a Christmas miracle.

1298
00:59:13,167 --> 00:59:15,750
Why didn't you tell me
who you were when we met?

1299
00:59:15,833 --> 00:59:18,750
(sighing)
I don't know.

1300
00:59:18,833 --> 00:59:21,500
I guess I got scared.

1301
00:59:21,583 --> 00:59:24,375
But once I tasted your food,

1302
00:59:24,458 --> 00:59:26,500
I realized that the perfect way

1303
00:59:26,583 --> 00:59:28,833
for you to connect with
everyone in an organic way

1304
00:59:28,875 --> 00:59:31,833
would be if you were part
of the Kringle Cook-Off.

1305
00:59:31,875 --> 00:59:34,667
So, this is why you pushed for
me to be in the competition?

1306
00:59:34,708 --> 00:59:38,000
That wasn't the only reason.

1307
00:59:38,042 --> 00:59:40,708
You are a great cook
and everyone knows it.

1308
00:59:40,708 --> 00:59:44,583
So, is Rick my birth father?

1309
00:59:44,583 --> 00:59:46,625
Viola got pregnant
in high school,

1310
00:59:46,708 --> 00:59:49,417
and as much as
I wanted them to keep you,

1311
00:59:49,417 --> 00:59:53,542
they didn't think they would be
able to provide for you.

1312
00:59:53,667 --> 00:59:56,750
I can't believe this.

1313
00:59:56,833 --> 01:00:01,208
Kemi and Michael
are my full siblings?

1314
01:00:03,042 --> 01:00:06,042
(sighing)
This is a lot to take in.

1315
01:00:06,125 --> 01:00:08,125
I know.

1316
01:00:08,208 --> 01:00:10,833
So, what was your plan
when I found out?

1317
01:00:10,917 --> 01:00:13,167
That we'd be
one big happy family?

1318
01:00:13,250 --> 01:00:15,042
Yeah...

1319
01:00:15,125 --> 01:00:16,500
kind of.

1320
01:00:16,542 --> 01:00:18,125
(Alicia sighing)

1321
01:00:19,625 --> 01:00:22,792
William,
I don't know what to think.

1322
01:00:22,875 --> 01:00:26,292
My dad means everything to me.

1323
01:00:26,375 --> 01:00:27,958
This could hurt him.

1324
01:00:28,042 --> 01:00:32,083
And you don't know if
they even want to meet me.

1325
01:00:32,167 --> 01:00:34,542
You don't have to do anything
if you don't want.

1326
01:00:34,625 --> 01:00:37,417
I just wanted you to know

1327
01:00:37,500 --> 01:00:38,958
I prayed for you every night.

1328
01:00:40,750 --> 01:00:42,667
I guess I couldn't bear

1329
01:00:42,708 --> 01:00:44,500
the thought of going
through my whole life

1330
01:00:44,583 --> 01:00:46,125
without ever meeting you.

1331
01:00:48,042 --> 01:00:52,542
William, thank you so much
for searching for me.

1332
01:00:52,625 --> 01:00:54,167
Not a day went by

1333
01:00:54,250 --> 01:00:58,333
where I didn't wonder
who my birth family was.

1334
01:00:58,417 --> 01:01:01,958
But for now, I'd like to keep
this between you and me.

1335
01:01:02,042 --> 01:01:05,000
My dad doesn't need another
curveball in his life.

1336
01:01:05,042 --> 01:01:08,167
I mean, I'd still like for us to
get to know each other, though.

1337
01:01:09,375 --> 01:01:11,083
I'd really like that.

1338
01:01:15,542 --> 01:01:17,083
Logan: You've got a lot
going on right now.

1339
01:01:17,167 --> 01:01:19,292
Sorry I'm late.

1340
01:01:19,375 --> 01:01:21,375
My shift at the Senior Center
went longer than expected.

1341
01:01:21,458 --> 01:01:22,750
Logan: That's quite all right.

1342
01:01:22,875 --> 01:01:24,708
Alicia: Thank... you.

1343
01:01:26,333 --> 01:01:29,833
Logan, what are you doing?

1344
01:01:29,917 --> 01:01:33,250
I have an important
question for you.

1345
01:01:33,333 --> 01:01:35,708
What can you make
with these ingredients -

1346
01:01:35,792 --> 01:01:40,000
sweet potatoes,
pecans, brown sugar?

1347
01:01:41,500 --> 01:01:43,708
Wait.

1348
01:01:43,792 --> 01:01:46,542
Those are the ingredients
for my mom and I's

1349
01:01:46,625 --> 01:01:48,375
sweet potato casserole.

1350
01:01:48,500 --> 01:01:50,125
How did you know?

1351
01:01:50,208 --> 01:01:52,792
I paid your dad a visit,
got the recipe.

1352
01:01:54,375 --> 01:01:55,750
But why?

1353
01:01:55,833 --> 01:01:58,542
You seemed a little off
the last two days.

1354
01:01:58,625 --> 01:02:00,333
I wanted to make you smile.

1355
01:02:00,333 --> 01:02:04,042
Plus, this just might be
the pop of color that we need.

1356
01:02:05,542 --> 01:02:07,417
Logan, I...

1357
01:02:07,500 --> 01:02:09,792
I can't believe you did this.

1358
01:02:09,875 --> 01:02:11,667
I don't know what to say.

1359
01:02:11,750 --> 01:02:14,083

to say anything. But...

cooking session
today with Viola?

Oh. What for?

1385
01:03:49,125 --> 01:03:50,500
They hosted
a holiday game night.

1386

We ended up playing
Christmas Pictionary, actually.

It's not a test.

01:04:32,000 --> 01:04:33,375
She just wants to
get to know each contestant

1399

01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:44,750
Logan: Bingo. You'll do great.
Talk to you soon.

1404
01:04:44,833 --> 01:04:46,333
Sounds good. Thanks.

1405
01:04:53,833 --> 01:04:55,958
(knocking)

1406
01:04:56,042 --> 01:04:59,958
Oh, hey you! Come on in.
Let me take your coat.

1407
01:05:00,042 --> 01:05:01,750
So, first things first.

1408
01:05:01,833 --> 01:05:03,083
We need to chop up
some onions, scallions,

1409
01:05:03,208 --> 01:05:06,333
two scotch bonnet chilies,
and two garlic cloves.

1410
01:05:06,458 --> 01:05:08,083
And then,
we'll grate some fresh nutmeg.

1411
01:05:08,167 --> 01:05:10,833
- Sounds delicious.
- Fingers crossed.

1412
01:05:10,917 --> 01:05:14,083
So, how's the competition
been going for you?

1413
01:05:14,167 --> 01:05:17,708
Alicia: Oh... It's honestly
been life-changing.

1414
01:05:17,792 --> 01:05:18,958
I almost don't want it to end.

1415
01:05:19,042 --> 01:05:21,917
Oh, really?
That is so nice to hear.

1416
01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:24,542
When my dad told me
you volunteer once a week

1417
01:05:24,542 --> 01:05:27,875
at a senior center and create
these stunning dishes for them,

1418
01:05:28,000 --> 01:05:29,333
I was immediately drawn to you.

1419
01:05:29,375 --> 01:05:32,500
Most participants
at the cook-off,

1420
01:05:32,583 --> 01:05:35,000
I mean, they forget that cooking
isn't just about prestige;

1421
01:05:35,083 --> 01:05:37,250
it's about
bringing people together.

1422
01:05:37,333 --> 01:05:38,958
You know, I volunteered at a
center for troubled youth.

1423
01:05:39,042 --> 01:05:42,000
Yeah, Logan told me.

1424
01:05:42,083 --> 01:05:43,042
It was so inspiring
to hear how much

1425
01:05:43,125 --> 01:05:45,083
you encouraged and helped them.

1426
01:05:45,083 --> 01:05:48,625
I started volunteering
right after...

1427
01:05:50,375 --> 01:05:52,458
...right after
a very hard time in my life.

1428
01:05:52,542 --> 01:05:55,917
Rick and I were struggling
with a choice that we made

1429
01:05:56,000 --> 01:05:57,333
and I needed to immerse myself

1430
01:05:57,417 --> 01:06:00,708
in something that would
bring me a sense of purpose.

1431
01:06:00,792 --> 01:06:04,167
Logan became that purpose.

1432
01:06:08,292 --> 01:06:10,000
Viola, there's something I
probably should tell you.

1433
01:06:10,083 --> 01:06:12,375
Oh, what is it?

1434
01:06:12,375 --> 01:06:15,667
Um...

1435
01:06:15,750 --> 01:06:16,917
Um...

1436
01:06:17,000 --> 01:06:19,500
I'm allergic to nutmeg.

1437
01:06:19,542 --> 01:06:22,083
Oh. Oh, gosh.

1438
01:06:22,167 --> 01:06:23,792
Okay, well,
we'll skip that step.

1439
01:06:23,875 --> 01:06:25,708
No need to worry yourself.

1440

1441

Logan, what are you doing here?

1443
01:06:47,417 --> 01:06:49,792
Well, I wanted to see you.
How did it go?

1444
01:06:49,875 --> 01:06:52,500
Great. Viola is amazing.

1445
01:06:52,542 --> 01:06:53,875
But...

1446
01:06:53,958 --> 01:06:57,083
No buts.

1447
01:06:57,208 --> 01:07:00,292
You're not nervous about
the competition, are you?

1448
01:07:00,375 --> 01:07:02,000
You're going to be great.

1449
01:07:02,042 --> 01:07:04,458
Alicia: It's not that.

1450
01:07:05,792 --> 01:07:07,708
What's going on, Alicia?

1451
01:07:07,792 --> 01:07:09,667
Did I do something?

1452
01:07:09,708 --> 01:07:12,500
You don't seem happy to see me.
Is this about the other night?

1453
01:07:12,583 --> 01:07:13,833
Because...

1454
01:07:13,958 --> 01:07:17,208
Viola and Rick are my parents.

1455
01:07:18,917 --> 01:07:21,000
What?

1456
01:07:21,083 --> 01:07:24,208
My DNA test results came back.

1457
01:07:24,292 --> 01:07:26,833
I connected with William.

1458
01:07:26,875 --> 01:07:31,125
William is my grandfather.

1459
01:07:31,208 --> 01:07:34,083
Viola and Rick put me up for
adoption in high school.

1460
01:07:34,208 --> 01:07:37,417
Wait. Viola and Rick Kringle...
are your parents?

1461
01:07:37,500 --> 01:07:39,208
My birth parents.

1462
01:07:41,042 --> 01:07:42,542
Have you told them?

1463
01:07:42,667 --> 01:07:46,667
No. It just doesn't feel right
to ruin their perfect lives.

1464
01:07:46,708 --> 01:07:49,708
Alicia, you're their daughter.
Viola is your mom.

1465
01:07:49,792 --> 01:07:51,958
No, my mom is my mom.

1466
01:07:52,042 --> 01:07:53,208
You should tell them.
They'd be ecstatic.

1467
01:07:53,292 --> 01:07:54,875
You don't know that.

1468
01:07:54,958 --> 01:07:57,792
Logan,
can we please just drop it?

1469
01:07:57,792 --> 01:07:58,833
Wait, wait.

1470
01:07:58,917 --> 01:07:59,917
This is a big deal.

1471
01:08:00,000 --> 01:08:01,375
Yes.
It's a lot to handle right now.

1472

Logan, please...

1473

I just-- I need some space,

1474
01:08:04,417 --> 01:08:07,083
some time to think it through.

1475
01:08:07,167 --> 01:08:09,417
My dad is my family.

1476
01:08:09,542 --> 01:08:11,750
Is that what this is about?
You don't want to hurt your dad?

1477
01:08:11,833 --> 01:08:13,667
You wouldn't get it.

1478
01:08:15,708 --> 01:08:17,125
Oh.

'Cause I didn't
grow up with a dad,

1480
01:08:18,750 --> 01:08:20,333
I couldn't possibly understand.

1481
01:08:20,458 --> 01:08:21,917
Logan,
I didn't mean it like that.

1482
01:08:22,000 --> 01:08:23,583
Yeah, I think you did.

1483
01:08:23,708 --> 01:08:25,333
Can you please just
let me deal with this myself?

1484
01:08:25,417 --> 01:08:27,750
- It's just too much.
- I was just trying to help,

1485
01:08:27,833 --> 01:08:30,042

I'm really sorry

I'm sorry, too, but I wanted to
give you space, like you asked.

to prove him wrong,

01:11:34,375 --> 01:11:35,875
to prove all the people
who ever doubted you wrong,

1546
01:11:35,958 --> 01:11:37,125

01:15:13,375 --> 01:15:15,333
(audience cheering, applauding)

1577
01:15:15,417 --> 01:15:17,583
Please step back
from your cooking station

1578
01:15:17,708 --> 01:15:20,792
and go mingle
while we do our taste test.

1579
01:15:20,875 --> 01:15:23,417
You will be called back when we
have reached our decision.

1580
01:15:23,542 --> 01:15:25,833
(chattering)

1581
01:15:25,917 --> 01:15:27,708
Oh...

1582
01:15:27,792 --> 01:15:30,375
Oh, you did it, honey. Oh!

1583
01:15:30,500 --> 01:15:31,958
I am so relieved it's done.

1584
01:15:32,042 --> 01:15:33,375
Bobby: You were amazing,

1585
01:15:33,458 --> 01:15:35,000
so in your element.
I mean, you killed it.

1586
01:15:35,042 --> 01:15:36,333
Thanks, Bobby.

1587
01:15:36,417 --> 01:15:38,125
Bobby: Unbelievable.

1588
01:15:38,208 --> 01:15:48,167
♪

1589
01:15:59,792 --> 01:16:01,167
(whispering inaudibly)

1590
01:16:04,583 --> 01:16:06,125
After what was one of

1591
01:16:06,208 --> 01:16:10,042
our quickest decisions in
Kringle Cook-Off history,

1592
01:16:10,042 --> 01:16:12,500
we are proud and
excited to announce

1593
01:16:12,625 --> 01:16:16,542
that this year's winner is...

1594
01:16:19,250 --> 01:16:21,250
...Alicia Gellar!

1595
01:16:21,333 --> 01:16:24,750
(audience applauding, cheering)

1596
01:16:30,583 --> 01:16:33,167
(audience applauding)

1597
01:16:35,875 --> 01:16:38,458
Oh, my girl is the Kringle
Cook-Off champion!

1598
01:16:38,542 --> 01:16:41,375
I knew it!

1599
01:16:41,500 --> 01:16:44,167
And you must be
Alicia's father.

1600
01:16:44,292 --> 01:16:45,708
It's an honor to meet you.

1601
01:16:45,792 --> 01:16:47,250
You have raised
a wonderful young woman.

1602
01:16:47,333 --> 01:16:50,208
Thank you. I like to think so.

1603
01:16:50,292 --> 01:16:52,917
I have an extra ticket to the
Christmas party tomorrow.

1604
01:16:53,000 --> 01:16:55,500
It would be marvelous
if you could come.

1605
01:16:55,583 --> 01:16:57,375
That's very kind. Thank you.

1606
01:16:57,500 --> 01:16:58,833
- You're welcome.
- Gentlemen,

1607
01:16:58,917 --> 01:17:00,250
might I have a word with
Alicia for a moment?

1608
01:17:00,333 --> 01:17:01,833
Ken: Sure.

1609
01:17:04,875 --> 01:17:06,750
Alicia,

1610
01:17:06,833 --> 01:17:11,333
I just thought I would say,
in case nobody already told you,

1611
01:17:11,417 --> 01:17:12,708
you did a fantastic job today.

1612
01:17:12,792 --> 01:17:15,042
Congratulations, seriously.

1613
01:17:17,000 --> 01:17:19,125
Thank you.

1614
01:17:19,208 --> 01:17:20,750
And look,
I just wanted to clear the air.

1615
01:17:20,833 --> 01:17:22,667
I'm sorry about those
harsh words I used

1616
01:17:22,750 --> 01:17:24,208
in that review
a couple of years ago.

1617
01:17:24,292 --> 01:17:26,000
You were just doing your job.

1618
01:17:26,125 --> 01:17:28,167
I mean,
I wasn't focused that night.

1619
01:17:28,292 --> 01:17:29,625
I should have been on my A-game.

1620
01:17:29,708 --> 01:17:31,042
I just hate
that I was the reason

1621
01:17:31,042 --> 01:17:33,167
that the restaurant closed down.

1622
01:17:33,250 --> 01:17:35,458
Wait a minute.
Is that what they told you?

1623
01:17:35,542 --> 01:17:38,500
That restaurant
was in extreme debt.

1624
01:17:38,583 --> 01:17:41,167
The manager was
spectacularly incompetent.

1625
01:17:41,250 --> 01:17:44,500
It closed because of bad
business management.

1626
01:17:44,583 --> 01:17:45,875
It was nothing
to do with my review.

1627
01:17:45,958 --> 01:17:49,000
Really?
But they said that I was--

1628
01:17:49,042 --> 01:17:50,792
Well, they lied.

1629
01:17:50,875 --> 01:17:52,500
It wasn't your fault, at all.

1630
01:17:52,583 --> 01:17:56,583
Look, I'll let you get
back to your family,

1631
01:17:56,583 --> 01:17:59,500
a proud family, I'm sure.
Sincerely, Alicia,

1632
01:17:59,542 --> 01:18:00,875
I look forward to dining

1633
01:18:01,042 --> 01:18:04,292
at whatever restaurant you
decide to cook in next.

1634
01:18:04,375 --> 01:18:05,417
Well done.

1635
01:18:05,542 --> 01:18:08,000
Thank you.

1636
01:18:09,208 --> 01:18:10,208
Hey, congrats.

1637
01:18:10,333 --> 01:18:13,667
So good. So good.

1638
01:18:13,792 --> 01:18:16,625
Congratulations, girl. Oh!

1639
01:18:16,708 --> 01:18:18,500
Your dish was out of this world.

1640
01:18:18,583 --> 01:18:21,292
It was spectacular.
Literally, so good.

1641
01:18:21,417 --> 01:18:22,542
Thank you.

1642
01:18:22,667 --> 01:18:24,208
See you tomorrow night, kid.

1643
01:18:24,292 --> 01:18:27,833
There will be servers on staff
to get your dishes to everyone.

1644
01:18:27,917 --> 01:18:29,500
Great. Looking forward to it.

1645
01:18:29,542 --> 01:18:31,000
Us too. Have a good night.

1646
01:18:31,083 --> 01:18:32,458
Viola: Night.

1647
01:18:32,542 --> 01:18:36,167
Ah...
(laughing)

1648
01:18:36,250 --> 01:18:37,542
Ah!

1649
01:18:37,625 --> 01:18:39,083
Look at this.
Isn't this amazing?

1650
01:18:44,708 --> 01:18:46,000
Viola: Come right on in.

1651
01:18:46,000 --> 01:18:47,042
All right. Here you go.

1652
01:18:47,125 --> 01:18:49,333
- Thank you.
- (chattering)

1653
01:18:55,417 --> 01:18:57,167
You have to try these.

1654
01:18:57,208 --> 01:18:59,083
(chattering)

1655
01:19:02,500 --> 01:19:04,208
These are ready to go.

1656
01:19:05,875 --> 01:19:08,917
Everyone is raving
about your meal.

1657
01:19:08,917 --> 01:19:11,500
I've already had several people
ask where you plan to work.

1658
01:19:11,542 --> 01:19:12,875
You're a star.

1659
01:19:12,958 --> 01:19:14,708
I don't know about that.

1660
01:19:14,833 --> 01:19:17,667
I do.
You and Logan made a great team.

1661
01:19:17,708 --> 01:19:19,500
I know he's on his way.

1662
01:19:19,583 --> 01:19:20,792
Come, join everyone.

1663
01:19:20,875 --> 01:19:21,958
It's time to relax
and enjoy yourself.

1664
01:19:22,042 --> 01:19:25,167
It's a beautiful night.

1665
01:19:25,250 --> 01:19:27,375
Anything can happen
on Christmas Eve.

1666
01:19:33,583 --> 01:19:34,917
(chattering)

1667
01:19:35,000 --> 01:19:38,667
Everyone, if I can have
your attention, please.

1668
01:19:38,750 --> 01:19:42,708
I would like to
introduce Chef Alicia Gellar.

1669
01:19:42,792 --> 01:19:46,125
(applauding)

1670
01:19:48,833 --> 01:19:51,458
And please, please,
enjoy the rest of your evening

1671
01:19:51,542 --> 01:19:53,292
and her fantastic dessert.

1672
01:19:55,708 --> 01:19:59,042
Now, you two, what have you boys
been talking about over here?

1673
01:19:59,167 --> 01:20:02,833
Well, Ken was just telling me
that the sweet potato casserole,

1674
01:20:02,917 --> 01:20:04,417
which was fabulous,

1675
01:20:04,500 --> 01:20:06,500
was a dish that Alicia and her
mother made every Christmas.

1676
01:20:06,583 --> 01:20:09,042
I didn't know that.

1677
01:20:09,167 --> 01:20:10,250
You should have invited her.

1678
01:20:10,333 --> 01:20:13,583
Oh, well,
she passed away two years ago.

1679
01:20:13,708 --> 01:20:17,250
Oh. I'm so sorry.
My condolences.

1680
01:20:17,333 --> 01:20:20,833
She would have been
so proud of Alicia today.

1681
01:20:20,875 --> 01:20:23,167
Oh,
I wish she could have been here.

1682
01:20:23,250 --> 01:20:25,542
I suppose, in some way, she is.

1683
01:20:25,625 --> 01:20:29,375
I carry her photo
around with me everywhere I go.

1684
01:20:30,708 --> 01:20:32,333
Can I see?

1685
01:20:32,417 --> 01:20:33,333
Oh, of course.

1686
01:20:35,792 --> 01:20:37,167
Wow.

1687
01:20:37,250 --> 01:20:40,000
- Gorgeous.
- She is beautiful.

1688
01:20:40,083 --> 01:20:42,667
Mm-hmm.

1689
01:20:42,750 --> 01:20:45,500
Wait, Alicia, are you adopted?

1690
01:20:45,500 --> 01:20:48,000
Um, yes, I am.

1691
01:20:48,083 --> 01:20:51,000
Oh, we had-- we had no idea.

1692
01:20:53,292 --> 01:20:56,792
Oh, Brigham and Women's
Hospital, December 28th...

1693
01:20:56,875 --> 01:20:58,500
1987.

1694
01:20:58,583 --> 01:21:00,250
- (gasping)
- (glass shattering)

1695
01:21:00,333 --> 01:21:02,208
Kemi: Mom?

1696
01:21:03,875 --> 01:21:05,458
I'm sorry.
I should have told you.

1697
01:21:05,542 --> 01:21:07,167
William: No, I should have.

1698
01:21:07,292 --> 01:21:09,958
A few years ago I started
searching for Alicia,

1699
01:21:09,958 --> 01:21:12,208
and I finally
found her a few weeks ago.

1700
01:21:12,292 --> 01:21:13,250
Kemi: What?

1701
01:21:13,333 --> 01:21:15,417
William:
Alicia is your daughter.

1702
01:21:15,500 --> 01:21:20,000
Dad, how could you do
this without telling me?

1703
01:21:20,083 --> 01:21:21,625
I...

1704
01:21:21,625 --> 01:21:23,208
I'm sorry.

1705
01:21:27,250 --> 01:21:30,375
Excuse me.

1706
01:21:45,167 --> 01:21:46,917
Al...

1707
01:21:47,000 --> 01:21:49,083
(Alicia sighing)

1708
01:21:51,708 --> 01:21:53,500
It's okay.

1709
01:21:53,542 --> 01:21:56,458
- Dad, you don't understand.
- I do. I know.

1710
01:21:56,542 --> 01:21:58,708
I've known for a few days.

1711
01:21:58,792 --> 01:22:00,917
What? How?

1712
01:22:01,042 --> 01:22:02,875
I overheard you and Logan.

1713
01:22:03,000 --> 01:22:04,875
But you didn't say anything.

1714
01:22:04,958 --> 01:22:06,667
I was waiting
for you to tell me.

1715
01:22:08,625 --> 01:22:10,000
Are you mad?

1716
01:22:10,042 --> 01:22:12,000
Oh, honey, of course not.

1717
01:22:13,500 --> 01:22:14,833
Why would I be mad at you?

1718
01:22:14,917 --> 01:22:16,208
I don't want you to think

1719
01:22:16,292 --> 01:22:17,917
that I'm trying to
replace you or something.

1720
01:22:18,000 --> 01:22:19,750
I was just curious
about where I came from.

1721
01:22:19,875 --> 01:22:21,708
I've been curious, too.

1722
01:22:21,792 --> 01:22:23,958
- You have?
- Mm-hmm.

1723
01:22:24,042 --> 01:22:26,167
I've always wanted
to meet the people

1724
01:22:26,250 --> 01:22:29,917
who created my favorite person
in the whole world.

1725
01:22:31,542 --> 01:22:33,833
I miss Mom.

1726
01:22:33,958 --> 01:22:36,125
I know.

1727
01:22:38,208 --> 01:22:40,542
Me too.

1728
01:22:40,625 --> 01:22:42,333
Do you think she'll be upset?

1729
01:22:42,417 --> 01:22:45,417
Your mother will always
be proud of you, Al...

1730
01:22:47,375 --> 01:22:50,833
...just as long
as you stay true to yourself

1731
01:22:50,917 --> 01:22:53,833
and always follow your heart.

1732
01:22:53,875 --> 01:22:57,042
I don't know what to do now.

1733
01:22:57,167 --> 01:22:59,500
Everything is just such a mess.

1734
01:22:59,542 --> 01:23:01,333
Logan doesn't want to have
anything to do with me.

1735
01:23:01,417 --> 01:23:05,917
He'll come to his senses.
He's just scared, same as you.

1736
01:23:06,000 --> 01:23:07,708
But love always finds a way.

1737
01:23:07,792 --> 01:23:12,167
Okay? Hmm?

1738
01:23:12,250 --> 01:23:14,583
You ready to go back
and deal with this?

1739
01:23:16,125 --> 01:23:17,958
- All right, come on.
- Yeah.

1740
01:23:22,375 --> 01:23:25,708
She realized who I was
during the games night.

1741
01:23:25,708 --> 01:23:28,042
That's why she left early.

1742
01:23:28,125 --> 01:23:30,708
This is insane. I can't...

1743
01:23:30,792 --> 01:23:32,167
Why didn't you tell us?

1744
01:23:32,208 --> 01:23:33,792
It couldn't
just be my decision alone.

1745
01:23:33,875 --> 01:23:36,583
I needed to know
she was okay with it.

1746
01:23:36,667 --> 01:23:40,417
I was just so desperate to find
her and make sure she was okay.

1747
01:23:40,500 --> 01:23:41,625
I'm sorry.

1748
01:23:41,708 --> 01:23:44,542
It's okay, Dad.

1749
01:23:44,625 --> 01:23:46,667
I'm glad you did.

1750
01:23:46,708 --> 01:23:51,667
I've been wondering
where she is for a long time.

1751
01:23:51,750 --> 01:23:54,000
- That's our baby girl.
- That's our baby girl.

1752
01:23:54,042 --> 01:23:56,500
- Rick: Let's go find her.
- Viola: Yeah.

1753
01:23:56,542 --> 01:23:59,750
Where is she?

1754
01:23:59,833 --> 01:24:02,375
- Watch your step here.
- Thanks, Dad.

1755
01:24:03,500 --> 01:24:05,583
You've got this.

1756
01:24:07,708 --> 01:24:08,875
Hey.

1757
01:24:09,000 --> 01:24:10,833
Hey, you two.

1758
01:24:10,875 --> 01:24:13,583
Bring it in.

1759
01:24:13,583 --> 01:24:16,833
Oh, welcome to the family.

1760
01:24:16,917 --> 01:24:18,292
Yes.

1761
01:24:18,375 --> 01:24:20,375
I can't believe
that it's really you.

1762
01:24:20,375 --> 01:24:23,333
I know. I'm so sorry
you had to find out this way.

1763
01:24:23,375 --> 01:24:27,000
No. We're just so happy
to finally meet you.

1764
01:24:27,083 --> 01:24:29,000
Ken...

1765
01:24:29,083 --> 01:24:30,500
thank you so much for raising

1766
01:24:30,583 --> 01:24:32,333
just a wonderful,
wonderful person.

1767
01:24:32,458 --> 01:24:34,167
That's very kind of you
to say.

1768
01:24:35,750 --> 01:24:36,792
Oh...

1769
01:24:36,875 --> 01:24:39,875
Hey, isn't that Logan?

1770
01:24:39,875 --> 01:24:42,333
Rick: It is.

1771
01:24:42,458 --> 01:24:44,833
I have a feeling
he isn't here to see us.

1772
01:24:44,875 --> 01:24:46,292
(all chuckling)

1773
01:24:46,375 --> 01:24:48,833
Viola: Come on, let's go.

1774
01:24:48,917 --> 01:24:50,708
Come on. Come on.

1775
01:24:56,708 --> 01:24:59,167
Sorry, I'm late.

1776
01:24:59,250 --> 01:25:01,375
I didn't think you would show.

1777
01:25:01,375 --> 01:25:04,292
What? And miss your big moment.
How does it feel?

1778
01:25:04,375 --> 01:25:06,333
It's incredible.
My Christmas wish came true:

1779
01:25:06,417 --> 01:25:07,875
I know who my birth parents are.

1780
01:25:08,000 --> 01:25:09,583
Yes.

1781
01:25:09,667 --> 01:25:12,958
Alicia: And I know who I am:
a real chef.

1782
01:25:13,042 --> 01:25:15,500
I'm sorry for pushing you away.

1783
01:25:15,625 --> 01:25:16,750
I feel the same way.

1784
01:25:16,833 --> 01:25:18,208
The night we met,

1785
01:25:18,375 --> 01:25:21,000
I threw that silly Christmas
token into the fountain

1786
01:25:21,042 --> 01:25:23,292
and I wished that
I would find somebody

1787
01:25:23,375 --> 01:25:24,750
who would help me
believe in love again.

1788
01:25:24,833 --> 01:25:26,875
Alicia...

1789
01:25:26,958 --> 01:25:28,000
I think I'm falling
in love with you.

1790
01:25:28,042 --> 01:25:29,917
Really?

1791
01:25:30,042 --> 01:25:33,500
You mean a lot to me, and I'm
falling in love with you, too.

1792
01:25:33,625 --> 01:25:34,667
Really?

1793
01:25:34,750 --> 01:25:36,583
Yes, Chef.

1794
01:25:42,333 --> 01:25:44,000
(Viola crying out happily)

1795
01:25:44,083 --> 01:25:46,167
(crowd laughing and cheering)

1796
01:25:46,250 --> 01:25:48,250
(Logan and Alicia chuckling)

1797
01:25:48,250 --> 01:25:51,500
(crowd laughing and cheering)

1798
01:25:53,167 --> 01:25:56,125
Logan: Take a picture,
it'll last longer.

1799
01:25:58,875 --> 01:26:02,917
(Ken chuckling)

1800
01:26:03,000 --> 01:26:04,500
- Alicia: Flip it.
- What?!

1801
01:26:04,542 --> 01:26:05,875
- No. You've got to flip it.
- No, it's perfect.

1802
01:26:06,000 --> 01:26:07,292
- You're gonna burn it.
- It's perfect.

1803
01:26:07,375 --> 01:26:09,667
All right, who wants bacon?

1804
01:26:09,750 --> 01:26:11,083
(cheering)

1805
01:26:11,167 --> 01:26:13,250
I got some bacon over here.

1806
01:26:13,333 --> 01:26:15,375
Michael, can I have a plate?

1807
01:26:15,458 --> 01:26:18,125
You guys,
we should do a toast.

1808
01:26:18,208 --> 01:26:23,167
(chattering)

1809
01:26:23,292 --> 01:26:25,000
Thank you.
Okay, on three, cheers.

1810
01:26:25,083 --> 01:26:27,000
One, two, three.

1811
01:26:27,042 --> 01:26:29,208
All: Cheers.
