00:31:32I'll see you at work chef Langford and don't be late
00:31:40You
00:31:48Were you with Elliot last night
00:31:51Don't even think about stealing him from me
00:31:55You forgot yourself
00:31:56single mom with a kid
00:31:59You really?
00:32:00Think someone like him would want you
00:32:03You're probably one of those one-time use women to him
00:32:07slut
00:32:09Loser you must have got him drunk last night and seduced him. What are you talking about, Vanessa?
00:32:17Dare talk back
00:32:29Stop this at once
00:32:32Is this how you run your kitchen?
00:32:35You're only talent you're gonna treat her like that. Hmm. No wonder you needed me to come save this place
00:32:42I'm gonna tell you something women with real talent shine
00:32:46Kid or no kid it doesn't change who they are. You're just playing with her
00:32:52We all know it no, I'm not
00:32:55Because I proposed to Lily Langford this morning actually if you should know
00:33:00But that's our business and this is a workspace
00:33:04if you didn't know
00:33:06And I intend to keep it professional
00:33:10of course
00:33:20What well now you're okay with Evan and Aaron you change faces faster than pages in a book Elliot, okay
00:33:28I'm sorry. I should have never overreacted like that. That is my fault
00:33:35listen
00:33:36Even if Aaron is the father even if Aaron is living with you
00:33:41I still don't see a ring on your finger, which means that I still have a chance
00:33:48right
00:33:50Really I want to grow gray-haired with you like this
00:33:59This is a workplace chef Granger
00:34:02like you said
00:34:04So let's keep it professional here. I've received your proposal twice
00:34:08twice
00:34:10Just let me think about it. I'm gonna go change just maybe stay out of the storage room this time
00:34:34Mmm
00:34:36So I am as good as they say
00:34:40But you are the only one that I trust with my stock so
00:34:45It needs more salt
00:34:51Oh shoot
00:34:53Shoot I forgot to set a timer for my scallops
00:34:56How long have they been steaming?
00:34:59Two minutes and 45 seconds, so it's good, but it needs one more
00:35:04Okay, thank you
00:35:06How long till your stuff's done?
00:35:08The risotto has been cooking for 17 minutes and 29 seconds, so it's 30 seconds left and the braise
00:35:14Two hours, so it's getting there, but it just needs a little bit more cooking. How did you know that?
00:35:19You're not using any of your timers
00:35:26And you were the one who taught me to use timers like obsessively so
00:35:31What there's suddenly some superhuman who can time everything by heart
00:35:35well, you
00:35:37You know those stories, right?
00:35:40British guy wakes up in a coma and
00:35:43He automatically knows fluent German
00:35:46right
00:35:47Maybe it's one of those times timing superpower
00:35:51gained
00:35:53I must be nice
00:36:01I
00:36:04Made a mistake
00:36:21What the hell is going on
00:36:27Guess we have to close for the day
00:36:31You're staying to fix this and
00:36:35Make 200 cupcakes for tomorrow, but I this is on you
00:36:41Chef Granger you
00:36:44You may do what you wish with the day do I make myself clear Barry?
00:36:51Is something funny to you no, no good
00:37:00I
00:37:02So many times about destroying her kitchen before I go to sleep and you actually did it, you know what I say now
00:37:11Because I bought it

00:37:54Wait, oh

00:38:54It won't happen again
00:38:56Can you really promise it's okay if you can't losing me was the worst thing that ever happened in my life
00:39:02But it made me stronger

00:47:51Thank you for taking care of them
00:47:58Remember when you said to create to put something my own on my name
00:48:06It actually really inspired me
00:48:09So I have to go
00:48:11So I'll see you tomorrow
00:48:13tomorrow and
00:48:15Until we're grand there
00:48:26Good morning
00:48:29You please behave like my boss that you are
00:48:32For one second, please
00:48:34We have an hour before anyone gets here and I need you to give me your professional opinion on this new dish
00:48:41I created last night
00:48:43Evan inspired it actually
00:48:45The first glance you can't tell if it's a dessert or an entree
00:48:49Once you do
00:48:51You realize that it's the main event of the dinner
00:48:55Like an important moment in your life
00:48:57Vanessa good morning. Good morning. This is a new dish that we are going to put on the menu tonight
00:49:04I believe that this dish could earn the restaurant its first Michelin star. Oh
00:49:10Would you like to try of course?
00:49:18Wow
00:49:19This is mesmerizing
00:49:22You created this dish for me. I
00:49:24Lily actually created
00:49:34So what yummy great job Lily really
00:49:41Climbing up in the world. Thank you. You are so welcome
00:49:45Climbing up in the world. Thank you. You are so welcome
00:49:57Really
00:50:07Very interesting
00:50:10How are you enjoying the dish
00:50:12And the white dairy. It's full of flavor.
00:50:16Wow. Thank you.
00:50:18Very much, Mr. Bonneville.
00:50:20I actually created this dish this morning.
00:50:23The inspiration just hit, and I had to give it a try.
00:50:27Well done.
00:50:29That's right. I remember now.
00:50:31You went to the Cordon Bleu in Paris to hone your craft.
00:50:35Yes.
00:50:36And now you're a chef in your own right.
00:50:38Well done, Ms. Bonneville. Very well done.
00:50:42She can't do that.
00:50:44All right, you know, I'm going out there.
00:50:46And rectify it.
00:50:48What does it matter? He gave the restaurant a recommend rating.
00:50:52Isn't that what counts?
00:50:54It's your restaurant's dish making money.
00:50:56She's not wrong, Elliot.
00:50:58No, she is wrong.
00:51:00Because I don't care about money.
00:51:02I care about character.
00:51:04No one's going to steal someone's creation.
00:51:06It's the most disgusting thing that anyone could ever do.
00:51:08Say what you want from your moral high ground, Chef Granger.
00:51:13Public perception is everything.
00:51:17And right now, the public thinks the dish is mine.
00:51:22Oh, it's yours. Maybe it could be.
00:51:25Prove it. Right here, right now.
00:51:27No.
00:51:28We both cook the dish.
00:51:30And if you even come close to replicating mine, it's yours.
00:51:34And you will hear no complaints from me, Vanessa.
00:51:36I'm not going to play in your little silly contest.
00:51:40Because I don't need to.
00:51:42I think you do.
00:51:44Because I just texted Mr. Bonneville.
00:51:46And I thanked him for his glowing review.
00:51:48And I told him that you will be cooking that dish on my TikTok live tomorrow.
00:51:53On a live stream.
00:51:55To promote the restaurant.
00:51:57And to promote your personal brand.
00:52:04What a fantastic idea, Vanessa.
00:52:06I'll be watching the live stream tomorrow.
00:52:17I feel like there's artichoke in there.
00:52:19I think it's bamboo.
00:52:21Oh, maybe it's parts of palm?
00:52:24Idiots, why am I even paying you?
00:52:28So screwed.
00:52:31Oh my goodness.
00:52:33The contest is happening in this kitchen, isn't it?
00:52:37And I run everything in here except Millie, don't I?
00:52:41I don't get it.
00:52:44You dumbasses.
00:52:46Okay, mess with her ingredients.
00:52:49Sabotage her.
00:52:51Make her fail?
00:52:53Okay, let's do it.
00:52:55Three, two, one.
00:53:00Cook!
00:53:10Very funny, Vanessa.
00:53:12Give me the salt.
00:53:14You're welcome, sweetheart.
00:53:30Come on, Millie.
00:53:55That's okay.
00:53:57Chef Granger.
00:53:59Sometimes it's actually a nice reminder that we don't always need fancy gadgets.
00:54:03I've got this.
00:54:08You know, you often get gray-haired when you're around me pretty often.
00:54:11Maybe that's because you do not leave me alone.
00:54:28I think it's clear who the true creator of this new star dish is.
00:54:34Chef Lankford has proved that she is a once-in-a-lifetime talent.
00:54:38Now, I am happy to announce that my fund will invest in her
00:54:42and build a new restaurant where talent can thrive.
00:54:46I'm sure you're all excited.
00:54:48I'm sure you're all excited.
00:54:50I'm sure you're all excited.
00:54:52I'm sure you're all excited.
00:54:54My fund will invest in her and build a new restaurant
00:54:57where talent, integrity, and drop-dead gorgeous flavors
00:55:01will be center of attention, just like Mr. Potterfield said.
00:55:04Now, the V.
00:55:07I did not come to the V to invest in some banker's spoiled daughter.
00:55:12I came to test.
00:55:15And I hate to do this to you,
00:55:17but it is time for the world to see who you truly are.
00:55:20A hack.
00:55:22Bye.
00:55:32And for the winner...
00:55:36Lily Langford!
00:55:38Yay, baby!
00:55:46Here's to the already TikTok famous Jeff Langford.
00:55:51Okay.
00:55:53Mark this day, this is the start of your dreams coming true.
00:55:58And I can almost taste your first Michelin star.
00:56:04Cheers to that.
00:56:05Cheers.
00:56:12You know, this really brings me back to the good old days.
00:56:15Before I was anyone.
00:56:18Before I mattered.
00:56:21Well, I met you after you were already someone.
00:56:26So I wonder what the other Elliot was like.
00:56:29You already know him.
00:56:30Because with you, I'm still that nobody Elliot.
00:56:34Overall, a not unlikable human.
00:56:48Human.
00:56:51What's that about?
00:56:54Conceal your identity.
00:56:56I don't even know why I said that.
00:56:59I guess I just love being human.
00:57:08Sure, yeah.
00:57:10You just, you love humans.
00:57:12Not all humans, surely.
00:57:16Surely?
00:57:17No, definitely not all humans.
00:57:37You know, all of this is kind of making me a little hungry.
00:57:42Oh, God.
00:57:48Me and food.
00:57:49I swear, I can't tell which one you like better sometimes.
00:57:52Come on.
00:58:13Both.
00:58:17I love both.
00:58:20But I more importantly love you.
00:58:43No, no, no, no.
00:58:45No, no, no, no.
00:59:04I should at home now.
00:59:07Hey, I want you to feel at home.
00:59:10When you're with me.
00:59:12When I look into your eyes, I see home.
00:59:16And you know, one day, we'll be going home together.
00:59:22We can.
00:59:24Right now.
00:59:26What?
00:59:27It's always been you, Elliot.
00:59:29There's no one else for me.
00:59:31It's just you.
00:59:33Are you talking about my sexual prowess?
00:59:37Do you want me to come home and work my magic at your house?
00:59:40Because I totally can.
00:59:41But here's the problem.
00:59:43Evan is home.
00:59:47No, no, what I meant was you should come home with me now.
00:59:51Because it's already your home.
00:59:54We're your family.
00:59:57Evan is your son.
01:00:01Evan is my son?
01:00:11Evan is my son?
01:00:14But what about Aaron?
01:00:17I'm serious.
01:00:20Aaron is my best friend.
01:00:22I didn't clear up the misunderstanding because I was pissed at you for disappearing for seven years.
01:00:28But no, I think, if anything, he's a little more interested in you.
01:00:32Although I think he might have shifted his attention to your assistant now.
01:00:37Wait, Robert?
01:00:39I mean, Robert's kind of a snag.
01:00:47You're just a disgrace to the Hawthorne family.
01:00:51I paid millions for your stupid little hobby, your La Cordon Bleu tuition, and then your little restaurant.
01:00:57And for what?
01:00:58I mean, at worst, I thought maybe I'll just lose some money.
01:01:00But that's it.
01:01:01But no.
01:01:03You've ruined your reputation and mine.
01:01:05And for what?
01:01:06For some stupid pie?
01:01:07It was a small mistake, and I can fix it.
01:01:09You can't fix it.
01:01:10It's done.
01:01:11It's done.
01:01:12I don't know what I've done to deserve such an ungrateful, timeless daughter like you, Vanessa.
01:01:22No.
01:01:29I guess I'm not done ruining reputations yet.
01:01:36Hi.
01:01:37Yes.
01:01:38Vanity Fair?
01:01:40I have something for you.
01:01:42A scoop.
01:01:44Elliott Granger only endorsed Lily Linkford, my former employee at the V.
01:01:49Because she's sleeping with him.
01:01:58Holy...
01:01:59Wow.
01:02:01I'm a father.
01:02:04Daddy.
01:02:06I was going to tell you seven years ago, on the day you proposed to me.
01:02:14But I, um...
01:02:16Um...
01:02:17Come on.
01:02:20Okay.
01:02:24I didn't mean to keep Evan from you or let you misunderstand about Aaron.
01:02:29I know.
01:02:30I know.
01:02:32You don't have to say anything now.
01:02:34It was my fault.
01:02:40Hey.
01:02:41All the bad things are behind us now.
01:02:45Okay?
01:02:46Everything that's left is pure happiness.
01:02:51Okay?
01:02:53Yeah.
01:02:54You better keep your word this time.
01:02:56Yes, I will.
01:02:57I will keep my word.
01:02:58Please.
01:03:00Aren't you two happy?
01:03:06What do you want, Vanessa?
01:03:07I know you threw your investments.
01:03:10I'm here to give you both a chance.
01:03:12Take down the TikTok video of me making a fool of myself.
01:03:17Or I'll leak a certain video of you two.
01:03:22In the kitchen.
01:03:24How can I say this?
01:03:26The activities weren't exactly hygienic for a kitchen holiday.
01:03:38What do you think?
01:03:39What do you think?
01:03:41I mean, she had no right to do that.
01:03:43That's illegal, no?
01:03:44Even if the footage gets out, nobody's gonna care about how it got out.
01:03:49And they're gonna eat it all up.
01:03:50Yeah, right.
01:03:51No, you're right.
01:03:52Listen.
01:03:53Enough people have seen that TikTok story.
01:03:56Okay?
01:03:57And we've already proved that you're the one that created the dish.
01:04:00I need an answer.
01:04:01Now.
01:04:04Fine.
01:04:05Fine.
01:04:07Hand over what you illegally recorded.
01:04:09And we'll take down the cook-off TikTok.
01:04:11Deal?
01:04:14I'll take it down now.
01:04:23Done.
01:04:26So?
01:04:27Hand over the footage.
01:04:29All of it.
01:04:36Okay.
01:04:49Lily, have you watched the footage?
01:04:52I'm blushing watching this.
01:04:55We sure had fun in that kitchen.
01:04:57We could recreate that at your place.
01:04:59Do you think that Vanessa watched this?
01:05:02Because I'm really, really, really hoping that she didn't.
01:05:05She's a slug for salt.
01:05:08Well, to be honest, I didn't really think Vanessa would do something like that, but...
01:05:17Lily?
01:05:19Too many system errors detected.
01:05:21Forced shutdown initiating.
01:05:23Elliot.
01:05:32Too many system errors.
01:05:35What does that mean?
01:05:36Forced shutdown in three minutes.
01:05:38No, no, no, no, no.
01:05:39Okay, come on, come on.
01:05:40Come on, stay with me.
01:05:41Come on.
01:05:42Come on.
01:05:49A-system alert.
01:05:50Shutdown in one minute.
01:06:02Come on, come on, come on.
01:06:07Come on.
01:06:09Oh, shit.
01:06:14System stabilized.
01:06:15Rebooting.
01:06:18Elliot!
01:06:19Elliot!
01:06:20What happened?
01:06:22Elliot.
01:06:24Hey.
01:06:25Elliot.
01:06:27What the...
01:06:28What the hell happened to you?
01:06:30I thought I lost you again.
01:06:32Well, uh...
01:06:33It was a really long day.
01:06:35Quick, uh...
01:06:36Power nap.
01:06:38Power nap.
01:06:41I guess I, uh...
01:06:43Overdid it today, you know?
01:06:45Quick, quick power nap.
01:06:47Yeah.
01:06:50Okay.
01:07:01Evan?
01:07:05Baby?
01:07:07Have you noticed anything weird about Elliot?
01:07:09Like what?
01:07:11Never mind.
01:07:12Never mind.
01:07:14Just go to bed, okay?
01:07:19He's not weird.
01:07:21He's not like anyone we know either.
01:07:24Because he's Elliot.
01:07:27Elliot.
01:07:28Because he's Elliot.
01:07:35Dad.
01:07:36I took care of the cook-off situation.
01:07:39Told you I could fix it.
01:07:41The video is gone.
01:07:43No one will remember it in a week, so...
01:07:46So, I will remember it.
01:07:48The Little Restaurant is finished.
01:07:52Elliot Granger has exited.
01:07:54And without his funding, I can no longer support your endeavor.
01:07:57The little experiment is over, Vanessa.
01:08:01Now, if you want still access to my bank account,
01:08:03you'll have to work for me.
01:08:07Yes.
01:08:09Father.
01:08:11What can I do for you?
01:08:15The new aggressive AI company, and they're seeking investment.
01:08:18So, do the RV for me, and, uh...
01:08:20Let me see if you have potential.
01:08:24Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:08:25Where do you think you're going?
01:08:26You'll do it right here.
01:08:27And I expect to see a full report first thing tomorrow morning.
01:08:30Good morning.
01:08:55Interesting.
01:09:01Quaint, isn't it?
01:09:03The perfect little family scene.
01:09:07Well, almost.
01:09:11Careful there, sweetie.
01:09:12We wouldn't want you to get hurt now, would we?
01:09:14Vanessa.
01:09:16You can come for me however you want, but not my child.
01:09:21Of course not.
01:09:22I just wanted to check and make sure he's normal.
01:09:26Like the rest of us humans.
01:09:27Baby, go play, okay?
01:09:32What do you want from me?
01:09:34We already deleted the footage.
01:09:37You know a little, but you don't know a lot of it, don't you?
01:09:41Oh, Lily.
01:09:44This is going to hurt.
01:09:49Suffer enough.
01:09:51Suffer enough.
01:09:57How many times do I have to start all over again?
01:10:01Well, if you owe that much money, maybe skip the lattes.
01:10:09Chef Langford?
01:10:11I thought that was you.
01:10:13Here.
01:10:15Thank you, thank you.
01:10:16Sorry.
01:10:17It's okay.
01:10:18Sorry, I'm a mess.
01:10:19My life is a mess.
01:10:22How do you know me?
01:10:24I've been following your career.
01:10:26You did the famous ticked-up cook-off.
01:10:28Remember?
01:10:29Yeah, yeah.
01:10:31Listen, I am wondering if I might have a word with you.
01:10:35Do you mind?
01:10:37No.
01:10:38Sure, sure.
01:10:39Please.
01:10:41I have something for you.
01:10:49As you can see, I'm a restaurant investor.
01:10:53And I know talent when I see it.
01:10:57So how about we give it a try, Chef Langford?
01:11:01Let's open up something that you've always wanted to do.
01:11:07And see your talent turn around and make it something bigger.
01:11:15You're welcome.
01:11:17This has been my dream for my entire life.
01:11:22I'm not going to let you down.
01:11:24I know you won't.
01:11:32I'm so happy you're smiling again, Mommy.
01:11:37Well, I almost saw my dream come true.
01:11:42Almost all my dreams are coming true.
01:11:44I know, Mommy.
01:11:46Except for leaving your dreams with Daddy.
01:11:57Yeah.
01:12:00But what can we do?
01:12:03Life goes on.
01:12:06I've done it once, so I can do it again.
01:12:12Okay.
01:12:19Tonight's the night, huh, Chef?
01:12:21Feels like the start of something huge.
01:12:23It is.
01:12:24First time real, actual customers are going to test our new menu.
01:12:26So I want everything to be perfect.
01:12:28This is our chance to make a really good first impression.
01:12:30I got your back, Chef.
01:12:31Let's show them what we've got.
01:12:41Let's go.
01:13:02Dad!
01:13:04Can we tell her that he's here?
01:13:06Daddy must remember us now.
01:13:08Shh, shh, shh.
01:13:09Let's see what he does.
01:13:10Not yet.
01:13:12What would you like?
01:13:17Behind.
01:13:22Hands!
01:14:00He's leaving.
01:14:04Sorry, buddy.
01:14:06Guess you just happened to be a customer.
01:14:09Oh.
01:14:30Oh, hello, sir.
01:14:32I'm sorry.
01:14:35I'm not sure if this is allowed.
01:14:38But may I please meet the chef?
01:14:42I'd like to say thank you.
01:14:44Sorry.
01:14:58Here we go.
01:15:08Chef?
01:15:10Someone outside would like to meet you.
01:15:14Oh, thank you.
01:15:37You wanted to speak with me?
01:15:40I'm sorry if this is a little unusual.
01:15:42But after the meal that I just had, I wanted to meet the person behind it.
01:15:47That dinner was an emotional journey from start to finish.
01:15:54I didn't know that food could do that to someone.
01:15:59Your first course.
01:16:02The Aleo e Olio.
01:16:06It's simple, yet there are layers of warmth within it.
01:16:11Comfort.
01:16:13Nostalgia.
01:16:15I could taste it.
01:16:17It felt like a hug from somebody that I've missed for a very long time.
01:16:24And then your second course, your take on a shepherd's pie.
01:16:29The sweetness from the brulee meringue.
01:16:32The bitterness from the coffee soil.
01:16:34The explosion of flavor within the pie.
01:16:36It was...
01:16:40It gave me so much ecstasy, fear, anger, joy.
01:16:46It was like a rollercoaster.
01:16:49Like I'd experienced someone's memory from a very long time ago.
01:16:53And then your dessert.
01:16:55The whipped cream.
01:16:57The candy-covered strawberries.
01:16:59The strawberries tasted like happiness mixed with profound sadness.
01:17:08I feel like they meant something to me in my past, but I couldn't tell you why.
01:17:17Yes, um...
01:17:20That menu I actually designed based on a...
01:17:23Based on me.
01:17:26Based on a journey that I had recently.
01:17:30A person who I'm very...
01:17:33Very profoundly loved.
01:17:37What happened to him?
01:17:42He's well.
01:17:47And I think I actually might have made him very happy tonight.
01:17:51That's good.
01:17:54Yes.
01:17:56Hi.
01:18:22I remember.
01:18:25All of it.
01:18:26Really.
01:18:31I love you.
01:18:34Not just because...
01:18:38Elliot, your Elliot, loved you.
01:18:40But because I, this Elliot, fell in love with you.
01:18:49I'm not just a copy of him anymore.
01:18:53I'm me.
01:18:56And I love you to death.
01:19:00Elliot.
01:19:04Elliot.
01:19:07Your Elliot.
01:19:21Mommy! Daddy!
01:19:26Fuck.
01:19:46Group hug.
01:19:47Group hug!
01:19:53Watch your step.
01:19:55Careful.
01:19:56Good job.
01:20:09It's cold out there.
01:20:13No matter how long we've been here, I can still get lost in this mansion, Daddy.
01:20:17Hey, little guy.
01:20:19Why does it have to be Daddy's, huh?
01:20:21Why can't it be mine?
01:20:23Just because Daddy was once a very successful culinary industry icon,
01:20:28does not mean that we have to stay under his roof.
01:20:31She's right.
01:20:33You know that your mommy is very successful?
01:20:36And one day, is going to get her first Michelin star.
01:20:42Fine. Fine. You bullfrog.
01:20:47Growing up with the parents that are so successful.
01:20:53Good night.
01:21:10Good night.
01:21:11Good night.
01:21:19You remember the last time we kissed under a mistletoe?
01:21:24Of course.
01:21:26So the legend is true then?
01:21:28Couples who kiss under it...
01:21:30Will be together forever.
01:21:35And you know why that is?
01:21:37Enlighten me with your data-filled brain.
01:21:42Well, it's based on a Greek myth.
01:21:46The goddess of love, Fig.
01:21:49She lost her son to an arrow.
01:21:51And she prayed and prayed for a miracle.
01:21:55And then it happened.
01:21:57He came back to life.
01:22:00And after that, she vowed that any lovers that kiss under a mistletoe...
01:22:07Stay together.
01:22:09Forever.
01:22:11And she turned a weapon...
01:22:16Into a blessing.
01:22:18A miracle did happen.
01:22:20You're my Christmas miracle.
