Try one and be honest.

00:00:32,266 --> 00:00:33,800
Not fair.

10
00:00:33,934 --> 00:00:34,834
You know my sweet tooth

11
00:00:34,967 --> 00:00:36,467
can't say no
to a 9:00 a.m. cookie.

12
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:37,700

You hate it.

No, no, no, Sarah.
It's good.

17
00:00:47,266 --> 00:00:48,333
Just...

18
00:00:48,467 --> 00:00:49,600
maybe less peppermint?

19
00:00:53,433 --> 00:00:54,767
I think I ruined
my tastebuds last night.

00:00:54,900 --> 00:00:56,200
I ate a dozen already.

Don't tell
your dentist boyfriend that.

22
00:00:59,100 --> 00:01:00,834
Oh, periodontist,
and it was just one date.

23
00:01:00,967 --> 00:01:02,233
No sparks?

24
00:01:02,367 --> 00:01:03,900
Oh, no sparks, no butterflies,

25
00:01:04,033 --> 00:01:05,533
no skipped heartbeats.

26
00:01:05,667 --> 00:01:09,533

already read it?

33
00:01:19,734 --> 00:01:21,233
Not enough
for Linda to trust me.

34
00:01:21,367 --> 00:01:22,834
She'll come around eventually.

35
00:01:22,967 --> 00:01:24,066
She promoted me

36
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:25,700
because she said she liked
my vision for things,

37
00:01:25,834 --> 00:01:27,166
but the more time that goes by

38
00:01:27,300 --> 00:01:30,100
the further away this site gets
from actual journalism.

39
00:01:30,233 --> 00:01:32,200
Why don't you just quit
and go freelance?

40
00:01:32,333 --> 00:01:34,233
Pay is good
and I know what to expect.

41
00:01:34,367 --> 00:01:35,367
Why risk that?

42
00:01:35,500 --> 00:01:37,767
Plus, if you left,
you'd miss me too much.

43
00:01:37,900 --> 00:01:39,000
Well, yeah.

44
00:01:39,133 --> 00:01:40,166
That's mainly it.

45
00:01:42,233 --> 00:01:43,834
First off,
just want to say, Kendra,

46
00:01:43,967 --> 00:01:45,700
great regift piece.

47
00:01:45,834 --> 00:01:48,500
So far, it's the highest-clicked
list of the season!

48
00:01:48,633 --> 00:01:49,934
Peter, still getting
great traction

49
00:01:50,066 --> 00:01:51,166
on your article from last month

50
00:01:51,300 --> 00:01:53,867
on the development heiress
Sandra Evans.

51
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:55,867
How a messy break-up
leads to a thriving business.

53
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:58,667
the best of both worlds.

54
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:00,900
Would love to get
a follow-up with her ex,

55
00:02:01,033 --> 00:02:02,567
see why he walked away
from having it all?

56
00:02:02,700 --> 00:02:04,433
Apparently,
he has fallen off the map.

57
00:02:04,567 --> 00:02:05,433
Keep looking.

58
00:02:05,567 --> 00:02:06,800
And as far as this month,

59
00:02:06,934 --> 00:02:08,400
our marketing team reports

60
00:02:08,533 --> 00:02:09,800
that the Friday
before Christmas

61
00:02:09,934 --> 00:02:12,433
is the highest online traffic
day of the season,

62
00:02:12,567 --> 00:02:13,867
so we need to get
all our Christmas content

63
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:14,867
up by then.

64
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:16,500
That's the 22nd, people!

65
00:02:16,633 --> 00:02:19,333

Personal, love it!

68
00:02:23,533 --> 00:02:26,467
Celebrity influencer
slash rapper, Zigzag,

69
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:27,900
is attempting
to set the world record

70
00:02:28,033 --> 00:02:29,333
for largest national toy drive.

71
00:02:29,467 --> 00:02:31,500
How would you make
a listicle of that?

72
00:02:31,633 --> 00:02:34,300
Oh, it would be
more of a human-interest piece,

73
00:02:34,433 --> 00:02:36,967
an introspective
on Zigzag's community relations

74
00:02:37,100 --> 00:02:38,133
and the labor required

75
00:02:38,266 --> 00:02:39,967
to organize
a toy drive of that scale.

76
00:02:40,100 --> 00:02:40,967
I know you're itching

77
00:02:41,100 --> 00:02:42,967
to expand what we publish
here at Quizzer,

78
00:02:43,100 --> 00:02:44,233
but I just don't think
our audience

79
00:02:44,367 --> 00:02:45,500
wants to read about

80
00:02:45,633 --> 00:02:47,567
the ins and outs
of organizing a toy drive.

81
00:02:47,700 --> 00:02:49,800
Now, if Zigzag was doing it
to impress his ex, Carmella,

82
00:02:49,934 --> 00:02:50,900
that would work.

83
00:02:51,033 --> 00:02:54,567
Right, well, then how about...

84
00:02:54,700 --> 00:02:56,233
"what kind of elf would you be
in the North Pole?"

85
00:02:56,367 --> 00:02:58,100
Perfect!
Do that one.

86
00:02:58,233 --> 00:02:59,433
And don't worry,

87
00:02:59,567 --> 00:03:01,400
when the right story
comes along, it'll be a go.

88
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,100
All right, everyone, get to it!

00:03:08,667 --> 00:03:10,367
[Sarah] Another lunch hour,
another antique market.

90
00:03:10,500 --> 00:03:12,433
Are you sure your mom's ring
isn't with your dad's things?

91
00:03:13,667 --> 00:03:14,800
I think
it may have been misplaced

92
00:03:14,934 --> 00:03:16,300
with the stuff
for the estate sale.

93
00:03:17,533 --> 00:03:19,200
Oh, here.

94
00:03:19,333 --> 00:03:20,867
What can I do
for you ladies today?

95
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:22,667
I wanted to take a look
at your watches.

96
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:23,834
And she will browse your rings.

97
00:03:25,100 --> 00:03:26,233
Oh, the rings
are right up front here,

98
00:03:26,367 --> 00:03:28,300
and the watches are
just that way right there.

99
00:03:28,433 --> 00:03:30,000
Okay.

100
00:03:30,133 --> 00:03:31,000
Would you like to see one?

101
00:03:31,133 --> 00:03:32,700
Actually, um,

102
00:03:32,834 --> 00:03:34,633
have you seen any rings
that look like this one?

103
00:03:35,867 --> 00:03:36,867
Oh...

104
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:38,166
It was my mom's
engagement ring.

105
00:03:38,300 --> 00:03:39,233
Oh...

106
00:03:39,367 --> 00:03:40,333
She died when I was 17,

107
00:03:40,467 --> 00:03:42,633
and she gave it to my dad
to keep for me,

108
00:03:42,767 --> 00:03:44,967
but after he passed last year,
it was lost.

109
00:03:45,100 --> 00:03:46,967
I do have one
with a similar cut.

110
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:53,700
[gasps]

111
00:03:53,834 --> 00:03:56,567
It's the same band, too.

112
00:03:58,600 --> 00:03:59,834
Oh...

113
00:03:59,967 --> 00:04:01,700
My mom's didn't have
an inscription.

114
00:04:03,066 --> 00:04:05,900
"Forever My Christmas Love,
1948."

115
00:04:08,767 --> 00:04:09,967
I wonder who this belonged to.

116
00:04:10,100 --> 00:04:12,700
I feel the same way.

117
00:04:12,834 --> 00:04:14,100
I wonder what the story is
behind it.

118
00:04:14,233 --> 00:04:15,200
What's this?

119
00:04:16,934 --> 00:04:19,433
That is the jeweler's insignia.

120
00:04:19,567 --> 00:04:21,934
A lot of hand-made jewelry
from that time has it.

121
00:04:22,066 --> 00:04:23,967
It's sort of like
an artist's signature.

122
00:04:24,100 --> 00:04:25,033
So this is traceable?

123
00:04:25,166 --> 00:04:26,133
The jeweler is.

124
00:04:28,066 --> 00:04:30,533
Okay, I'm between these two.

125
00:04:30,667 --> 00:04:31,834
Earth to Kendra?

126
00:04:33,767 --> 00:04:35,567
Oh, yeah, um,
that one for sure.

127
00:04:36,667 --> 00:04:37,533
I think I'm going to get it.

128
00:04:37,667 --> 00:04:39,433
I'm sorry, what?

129
00:04:39,567 --> 00:04:41,200
You're going to buy yourself
an engagement ring?

130
00:04:41,333 --> 00:04:43,200
Yes. But not for me,
for the story.

131
00:04:43,333 --> 00:04:44,300
What story?

132
00:04:44,433 --> 00:04:46,533
Who did it belong to?

133
00:04:46,667 --> 00:04:50,367
What was so special
about Christmas in 1948?

134
00:04:50,500 --> 00:04:52,900
How did it end up
parting ways with its owner?

135
00:04:53,033 --> 00:04:53,900
Okay, so for fun?

136
00:04:54,033 --> 00:04:56,533
No, this is it--

137
00:04:56,667 --> 00:04:57,567
the human-interest piece

138
00:04:57,700 --> 00:04:58,600
that is perfect

139
00:04:58,734 --> 00:05:00,266
to take Quizzer
to the next level.

140
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,233
What if
there's no story behind it?

141
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:05,433
If someone found
my mom's ring,

142
00:05:05,567 --> 00:05:06,734
I'd want them to track me down.

143
00:05:08,734 --> 00:05:10,133
Great.

144
00:05:13,233 --> 00:05:16,300
It's pretty,
but I don't think so.

145
00:05:16,433 --> 00:05:18,600
It would be
more of an investigative piece,

146
00:05:18,734 --> 00:05:20,133
following me
as I return the ring

147
00:05:20,266 --> 00:05:21,266
to its owner

148
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:22,533
and uncover
the love story behind it.

149
00:05:22,667 --> 00:05:24,200
I just don't think
there's enough to go off of.

150
00:05:25,667 --> 00:05:27,333
Ever since I found out
my mom's ring was gone,

151
00:05:27,467 --> 00:05:28,633
I've felt like...

152
00:05:28,767 --> 00:05:30,667
part of me was missing.

153
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:31,834
What if someone out there

154
00:05:31,967 --> 00:05:33,633
feels the same way
about this ring?

155
00:05:33,767 --> 00:05:34,700
I think that's something

156
00:05:34,834 --> 00:05:35,934
our readers
would be interested in.

157
00:05:36,066 --> 00:05:37,767
And the Christmas inscription

158
00:05:37,900 --> 00:05:39,700
makes it on theme
for our December posts.

159
00:05:39,834 --> 00:05:41,000
Sorry.

160
00:05:41,133 --> 00:05:43,133
It's a nice idea, but it feels
more like wishful thinking.

161
00:05:44,300 --> 00:05:45,834
Maybe if I did some digging?

162
00:05:45,967 --> 00:05:47,800
I hope one day
you find your mom's ring,

163
00:05:47,934 --> 00:05:48,867
I really do,

164
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:50,533
but going on a wild goose chase

165
00:05:50,667 --> 00:05:52,300
and hoping there's
a clickable tale attached

166
00:05:52,433 --> 00:05:53,367
just isn't enough for me.

167
00:05:53,500 --> 00:05:54,467
I'm sorry, Kendra.

168
00:05:57,066 --> 00:05:58,834

for a minute, please?

169
00:05:58,967 --> 00:06:00,133

00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:15,867
Pine Grove, Massachusetts.

183
00:07:17,300 --> 00:07:19,100
I think it's the cutest town
I've ever seen.

184
00:07:19,233 --> 00:07:21,600
Wait, I thought
Linda killed the story.

185
00:07:21,734 --> 00:07:22,667
She did.

186
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:24,166
Um...

187
00:07:24,300 --> 00:07:26,100
But I am going
to have to prove her wrong.

188
00:07:27,133 --> 00:07:28,100
What about your elf assignment?

189
00:07:28,233 --> 00:07:29,600
Finished it.

190
00:07:29,734 --> 00:07:30,633
I did a similar one last year

191
00:07:30,767 --> 00:07:32,166
called "what kind
of reindeer would you be?"

192
00:07:32,300 --> 00:07:33,166
Just sorta modified it.

193
00:07:33,300 --> 00:07:34,600
Oh, right.

194
00:07:34,734 --> 00:07:36,467
I was inexplicably a Dasher.

195
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:37,467
So what's the plan here?

196
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:38,500
I'm going get

197
00:07:38,633 --> 00:07:39,900
the story on the ring,

198
00:07:40,033 --> 00:07:41,100
write a great piece,

199
00:07:41,233 --> 00:07:42,300
show it to Linda,

200
00:07:42,433 --> 00:07:43,567
change her mind,

201
00:07:43,700 --> 00:07:44,934
and publish it on Quizzer.com,

202
00:07:45,066 --> 00:07:47,800
hopefully forever shifting
the landscape of our site.

203
00:07:47,934 --> 00:07:49,100
That is a lot to process.

204
00:07:50,533 --> 00:07:52,166
Well, look, I haven't taken
a day off in three years.

205
00:07:52,300 --> 00:07:54,133
I have plenty
of personal days saved up.

206
00:07:54,266 --> 00:07:56,133
Manage your hopes.

207
00:07:56,266 --> 00:07:58,333
If it turns out
it's just some ring,

208
00:07:58,467 --> 00:07:59,467
promise me you'll
let this go?

209
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:00,834
Yeah. Of course.

210
00:08:00,967 --> 00:08:02,233
Okay. I gotta run. Bye!

212
00:08:19,367 --> 00:08:20,600
Oh, um...

213
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:24,166
Uh, excuse me.

214
00:08:24,300 --> 00:08:25,500
Hi.

215
00:08:25,633 --> 00:08:27,567
Do you know where
the Pine Grove jewelry store is?

216
00:08:27,700 --> 00:08:28,967
Uh...

217
00:08:29,100 --> 00:08:30,934
Well, Pine Grove doesn't have
a jewelry store, but the...

218
00:08:31,066 --> 00:08:32,333
the Jones General Store down the
street--

219
00:08:32,467 --> 00:08:33,333
they sell earrings.

220
00:08:33,467 --> 00:08:35,333
Isn't this 415 Main Street?

221
00:08:35,467 --> 00:08:36,333
Yeah, that's right.

222
00:08:36,467 --> 00:08:37,500
415.

223
00:08:37,633 --> 00:08:38,633
It's the bakery.

224
00:08:38,767 --> 00:08:40,834
Well, I see
that it's the bakery,

225
00:08:40,967 --> 00:08:42,467
but it's supposed to be
the jewelry store.

226
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:44,800
Oh, is that
what it's supposed to be?

227
00:08:44,934 --> 00:08:45,967
Yes.

228
00:08:46,100 --> 00:08:47,300
Well, I'm sorry

229
00:08:47,433 --> 00:08:49,066
our Main Street's
not the way it's supposed to be.

230
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:50,333
Uh...

231
00:08:50,467 --> 00:08:52,300
You know, I think that

232
00:08:52,433 --> 00:08:53,967
there's a complaint box
around here somewhere.

233
00:08:54,100 --> 00:08:54,967
Don't worry about it.

234
00:08:55,100 --> 00:08:57,367
I'm gonna let you
get back to, um...

235
00:08:57,500 --> 00:08:58,867
measuring the sidewalk,

236
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:00,300
but you have been
a great help.

237
00:09:00,433 --> 00:09:02,300
You know, actually, I'm finished
measuring the sidewalk,

238
00:09:02,433 --> 00:09:04,033
so good luck to you
finding your jewelry store.

239
00:09:05,700 --> 00:09:06,834
-Okay.
-Okay.

241
00:09:20,266 --> 00:09:21,367
Well, hello!

242
00:09:21,500 --> 00:09:23,066
Can I help you with anything?

243
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,033
Hi! Yes.

244
00:09:25,166 --> 00:09:26,333
I'm trying to find
the right address,

245
00:09:26,467 --> 00:09:27,700
but only the bakery pops up.

246
00:09:27,834 --> 00:09:28,734
Well, what are you looking for?

247
00:09:28,867 --> 00:09:30,200
Pine Grove Jewelers?

248
00:09:30,333 --> 00:09:32,300
Ah, well, you've got
the right address,

249
00:09:32,433 --> 00:09:33,734
but you're about
40 years too late.

250
00:09:34,900 --> 00:09:36,000
My grandfather
used to be a jeweler.

251
00:09:36,133 --> 00:09:37,033
This was his shop.

252
00:09:37,166 --> 00:09:40,400
But I didn't get that gene,
hence the bakery.

253
00:09:40,533 --> 00:09:41,567
Care for a sample?

254
00:09:41,700 --> 00:09:42,800
[gasps]

255
00:09:42,934 --> 00:09:45,066
Things I can't say no to--

256
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:46,700
sugar and Christmas.

257
00:09:46,834 --> 00:09:47,900
How about a box?

258
00:09:48,033 --> 00:09:49,233
50% off for new customers.

259
00:09:49,367 --> 00:09:51,133
Oh, no thank you.

260
00:09:51,266 --> 00:09:53,300
I actually tracked down
this address

261
00:09:53,433 --> 00:09:55,567
because I was researching...

262
00:09:55,700 --> 00:09:56,967
where this ring was made.

263
00:10:00,934 --> 00:10:02,033
Huh.

264
00:10:02,166 --> 00:10:03,233
Grandpa did nice work.

265
00:10:03,367 --> 00:10:06,033
I'm a writer
for Quizzer.com

266
00:10:06,166 --> 00:10:08,300
and I wanted to find out
who the ring was made for.

267
00:10:08,433 --> 00:10:10,033
I love their quizzes.

268
00:10:10,166 --> 00:10:12,033
Did you know that,
personality-wise,

269
00:10:12,166 --> 00:10:13,633
I most resemble
the reindeer Prancer?

270
00:10:15,133 --> 00:10:16,133
I could see that.

271
00:10:17,266 --> 00:10:18,400
So the ring?

272
00:10:18,533 --> 00:10:21,100
Unfortunately, I did not take
my wife's advice

273
00:10:21,233 --> 00:10:23,100
and digitize Grandpa's records.

274
00:10:23,233 --> 00:10:24,433
Oh.

275
00:10:24,567 --> 00:10:26,200
But I do have
his old ledger here.

276
00:10:26,333 --> 00:10:27,200
I could check that?

277
00:10:27,333 --> 00:10:28,734
That would be great.

278
00:10:28,867 --> 00:10:30,400
1948.

279
00:10:30,533 --> 00:10:31,700
Okay.

280
00:10:35,834 --> 00:10:38,667
All right... 1948...

281
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:42,734
Oh, here we go.

282
00:10:42,867 --> 00:10:44,066
Diamond engagement ring.

283
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:45,734
Ordered by...

284
00:10:45,867 --> 00:10:46,834
William Jones.

285
00:10:47,867 --> 00:10:49,300
Do you know him?

286
00:10:49,433 --> 00:10:52,567
Yeah, he and his wife, Pearl,
used to own the general store.

287
00:10:52,700 --> 00:10:54,033
Unfortunately,
they're both deceased.

288
00:10:54,166 --> 00:10:55,200
Oh.

289
00:10:55,333 --> 00:10:56,800
Is that the store down the road?

290
00:10:56,934 --> 00:10:59,300
Yeah, but it's after 5:00,

291
00:10:59,433 --> 00:11:00,667
so they're probably closed.

292
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:01,800
Oh.

293
00:11:01,934 --> 00:11:03,033
You know, Pearl's house

294
00:11:03,166 --> 00:11:04,700
is just a couple
of blocks from here,

295
00:11:04,834 --> 00:11:06,800
and her grandson, Michael,
lives there now.

296
00:11:06,934 --> 00:11:08,667
Maybe... Maybe he might know
something about the ring.

297
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:10,633
Great.

298
00:11:10,767 --> 00:11:12,433
Thank you so much.

299
00:11:12,567 --> 00:11:14,033
Oh, yeah, sure.

00:11:14,166 --> 00:11:16,367

long, my wife, Cathy,

301
00:11:16,500 --> 00:11:17,800
owns the bed and breakfast
in town, so.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean
to sneak up on you.

312
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:23,734
I tried the front door,

313
00:12:23,867 --> 00:12:25,600
but then I heard
the noise, and--

314
00:12:25,734 --> 00:12:26,800
Well, I hate to disappoint,

315
00:12:26,934 --> 00:12:29,100
but, you know, this isn't
a jewelry store either.

316
00:12:33,867 --> 00:12:35,500
I'm looking for you.

317
00:12:35,633 --> 00:12:36,734
Well, look,
I don't mean to be rude,

318
00:12:36,867 --> 00:12:38,767
but whatever you're selling,
I probably don't need.

319

Oh, I'm not a solicitor.

320
00:12:40,033 --> 00:12:42,900
Actually, um,
I wanted to ask you...

321
00:12:43,033 --> 00:12:44,367
about this ring.

322
00:12:45,633 --> 00:12:49,300
I think it belonged
to your grandmother.

323
00:12:49,433 --> 00:12:51,467
My grandma
never wore a ring like that.

324
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:52,600
Are you sure?

325
00:12:52,734 --> 00:12:55,400
Well, she raised me,
so, yeah, pretty sure.

326
00:12:56,467 --> 00:12:58,000
-Oh.
-What is this for?

Oh, I write for Quizzer.com.

00:13:00,300 --> 00:13:01,467

00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,166
Wow, you guys are getting
creative, aren't you?

330
00:13:04,300 --> 00:13:05,700
A ring?

00:13:05,834 --> 00:13:07,300
That's how you thought
you'd get an interview?

Look, like I've told all
of the reporters before you,

333
00:13:09,233 --> 00:13:10,166
I don't want to talk about it.

It was really strange.

340
00:13:27,767 --> 00:13:29,200
He said he didn't
recognize the ring

341
00:13:29,333 --> 00:13:30,333
and he thought I was there

342
00:13:30,467 --> 00:13:31,700
to interview him
about something else.

343
00:13:31,834 --> 00:13:33,000

I know that name.

00:13:35,367 --> 00:13:36,233
Why is that familiar?

347
00:13:36,367 --> 00:13:38,700
Probably because
it's as common

348
00:13:38,834 --> 00:13:40,066
as John Smith.

on that development heiress?

Vaguely.

I mean, I only skimmed it.

357

Michael was
her business partner

Oh, right.

00:14:06,500 --> 00:14:07,734
Although this was
Evans' first venture

365
00:14:07,867 --> 00:14:09,300
outside of her family's
development empire

366
00:14:09,433 --> 00:14:11,066
and Jones
was an unknown architect,

367
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:12,233
Forbes magazine

368
00:14:12,367 --> 00:14:14,066
soon deemed them
the next company to watch.

369
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:15,367
Eight months ago,

370
00:14:15,500 --> 00:14:16,767
Jones abruptly left the company

371
00:14:16,900 --> 00:14:17,967
and all his shares

372
00:14:18,100 --> 00:14:19,633
after the two
ended their engagement.

373
00:14:19,767 --> 00:14:21,433
Huh.

374
00:14:21,567 --> 00:14:23,967
Seems like tons of sources
have statements from Sandra,

375
00:14:24,100 --> 00:14:25,600
but nothing from Michael.

376
00:14:25,734 --> 00:14:27,934
This interaction is making
so much more sense now.

377
00:14:28,066 --> 00:14:29,300
What are you going to do?

378
00:14:29,433 --> 00:14:31,233
I just need more time
to show him

379
00:14:31,367 --> 00:14:33,367
that I only want to know about
his grandma's ring, that's it.

380
00:14:33,500 --> 00:14:35,033
Good luck.

381
00:14:35,166 --> 00:14:37,233
He seems like
a very private person.

382
00:14:37,367 --> 00:14:38,333
Can I get you anything else?

383
00:14:40,367 --> 00:14:42,467
Actually, yeah.

384
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:44,533
Can I get the address
to your wife's inn?

385
00:14:44,667 --> 00:14:46,133
No problem.

386
00:14:46,266 --> 00:14:47,600
Glad to hear
you'll be staying in town.

387
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,867
[♪♪]

388
00:15:07,934 --> 00:15:09,266
[ding!]

389
00:15:12,767 --> 00:15:13,867
Good evening.

390
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:15,433
Hi. I was hoping you had room
here for tonight?

391
00:15:15,567 --> 00:15:17,300
Your husband
pointed me here.

392
00:15:17,433 --> 00:15:18,467
We sure do!

393
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:20,033
Hi, I'm Cathy.

394
00:15:20,166 --> 00:15:21,934
I'm Kendra.
Nice to meet you.

395
00:15:22,066 --> 00:15:24,300
Are you in town for the Main
Street Christmas Festival?

396
00:15:24,433 --> 00:15:25,367
Tree lighting is tomorrow!

397
00:15:25,500 --> 00:15:28,266
No, actually, I'm here

398
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,000
researching the origins
of an engagement ring.

399
00:15:31,133 --> 00:15:33,066
Turns out
Paul's grandfather made it.

400
00:15:34,433 --> 00:15:36,433
I found it
at an antique sale in Boston

401
00:15:36,567 --> 00:15:38,533
and I was hoping to write
an article on its backstory

402
00:15:38,667 --> 00:15:39,633
for the website I work for.

403
00:15:39,767 --> 00:15:41,000
Beautiful.

404
00:15:41,133 --> 00:15:42,600
Paul was able to find out

405
00:15:42,734 --> 00:15:44,200
that it was made
for Pearl Jones.

406
00:15:44,333 --> 00:15:46,467
I loved Pearl,
such a sweetheart.

407
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:47,767
You knew her?

408
00:15:47,900 --> 00:15:51,000
I took over as chairwoman of the
Christmas Festival from her.

409
00:15:51,133 --> 00:15:52,867
Would you mind if I asked you
some questions about her?

410
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:53,867
Not at all.

411
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:55,200
Here, let me show you
to your room

412
00:15:55,333 --> 00:15:56,367
so you can get settled in,

413
00:15:56,500 --> 00:15:58,433
and I'll make us some cocoa.

414
00:15:58,567 --> 00:16:00,200
That sounds lovely.

415
00:16:00,333 --> 00:16:01,433
Thank you.

416
00:16:03,667 --> 00:16:06,700
My dad actually proposed
with his grandmother's ring

417
00:16:06,834 --> 00:16:08,066
in front of the Eiffel tower.

418
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:09,333
Family heirloom.

419
00:16:10,700 --> 00:16:13,433
Knowing it's lost feels like...

420
00:16:13,567 --> 00:16:15,500
I've lost my parents
all over again.

421
00:16:16,734 --> 00:16:18,200
That's why it's become
a habit, really,

422
00:16:18,333 --> 00:16:20,433
to check any antique store
I come across.

423
00:16:20,567 --> 00:16:23,166
But this time,
I found someone else's ring,

424
00:16:23,300 --> 00:16:25,400
and I couldn't help but think,

425
00:16:25,533 --> 00:16:28,433
just maybe someone out there
might be missing it.

426
00:16:28,567 --> 00:16:30,066
I wish it looked
more familiar.

427
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:31,834
How well did you know Pearl?

428
00:16:31,967 --> 00:16:33,367
I didn't really know Pearl well

429
00:16:33,500 --> 00:16:35,667
until I started helping out
with the Christmas Festival.

430
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,400
You mentioned that before
and I saw the banner downtown.

431
00:16:38,533 --> 00:16:39,500
What is that?

432
00:16:39,633 --> 00:16:40,767
Every year
for the past 80 years,

433
00:16:40,900 --> 00:16:43,333
the town hosts events
along the main street.

434
00:16:43,467 --> 00:16:45,734
It leads up
to a big Christmas Eve dance.

435
00:16:45,867 --> 00:16:47,266
Tomorrow kicks it off

436
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:48,934
with the tree lighting
in the town square.

437
00:16:49,066 --> 00:16:50,900
That sounds so fun.

438
00:16:51,033 --> 00:16:52,033
Growing up,

439
00:16:52,166 --> 00:16:53,667
my parents went all out
every year.

440
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:54,667
I miss those days.

441
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:56,300
Then you have to come.

442
00:16:58,400 --> 00:16:59,433
Oh.

443
00:16:59,567 --> 00:17:01,834
Speaking of
the Christmas Eve dance,

444
00:17:01,967 --> 00:17:03,133
I just thought of something

445
00:17:03,266 --> 00:17:04,600
that might be
of interest to you.

446
00:17:10,633 --> 00:17:12,066
The Christmas Eve
Decorating Committee

447
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:13,100
from a few years ago.

448
00:17:13,233 --> 00:17:15,767
Pearl's last one with us.

449
00:17:15,900 --> 00:17:17,166
She looks really happy.

450
00:17:17,300 --> 00:17:18,934
She loved the dance so much.

451
00:17:19,066 --> 00:17:21,400
Apparently, that's where
her and her husband first met.

452
00:17:21,533 --> 00:17:22,867
Really?

453
00:17:24,266 --> 00:17:25,633
Do you know what year?

454
00:17:25,767 --> 00:17:26,667
You should ask her grandson.

455
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:28,066
He be able to tell you
more about it.

456
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:29,734
I tried.

457
00:17:29,867 --> 00:17:32,800
Michael made it very clear
he did not want to talk to me.

458
00:17:32,934 --> 00:17:34,834
Try her other grandson, Scott.

459
00:17:34,967 --> 00:17:38,166
He took over running
the family's general store.

460
00:17:38,300 --> 00:17:40,066
He'll be my first stop
in the morning.

461
00:17:42,033 --> 00:17:46,066
[♪♪]

462
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:47,900
There we go.

463
00:17:48,934 --> 00:17:49,900
[Kendra] Whoa!

464
00:17:51,233 --> 00:17:52,200
I didn't know anyone was--

465
00:17:53,734 --> 00:17:55,100
It's you again.

466
00:17:55,233 --> 00:17:56,633
[Kendra] Yes, it's me.

467
00:17:56,767 --> 00:17:58,467
Sorry, I didn't see you there.

468
00:17:58,600 --> 00:17:59,900
What are you doing here?

469
00:18:00,100 --> 00:18:01,667
I thought
I'd made myself clear.

470
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:03,567
Well, actually,
I am not here for you.

471
00:18:03,700 --> 00:18:04,667
Okay, good,

472
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:05,834
because I'm on my way out

473
00:18:05,967 --> 00:18:07,633
and I wouldn't want
to talk to you anyway.

474
00:18:07,767 --> 00:18:08,834
Okay.

475
00:18:08,967 --> 00:18:10,233
-Bye.
-Bye.

476
00:18:23,633 --> 00:18:26,600
[♪♪]

477
00:18:28,033 --> 00:18:28,900
Good morning!

478
00:18:29,033 --> 00:18:30,066
Hi.

479
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:31,533
Hi. I was just making
a cup of coffee.

480
00:18:31,667 --> 00:18:32,834
Would you like one?

481
00:18:32,967 --> 00:18:35,400
Oh, yes, please.
Thank you.

482
00:18:35,533 --> 00:18:36,667
Can I help you find anything?

483
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:38,166
Um, in a way.

484
00:18:38,300 --> 00:18:40,000
I'm from out of town.

485
00:18:40,133 --> 00:18:41,233
My name's Kendra.

486
00:18:41,367 --> 00:18:42,633
Well, it's good
to meet you, Kendra.

487
00:18:42,767 --> 00:18:43,800
Welcome to Pine Grove.

488
00:18:43,934 --> 00:18:45,066
I'm Scott.
This is my wife, Trish.

489
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:46,467
-[Kendra] Hi.
-Hi.

490
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:50,333
I write for Quizzer.com,
and I was hoping we could talk.

491
00:18:52,433 --> 00:18:54,667
Look, my brother's business,
is just that,

492
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:55,734
his business.

493
00:18:55,867 --> 00:18:57,200
We have nothing to say about it.

494
00:18:57,333 --> 00:18:58,367
Oh, no, no.

495
00:18:58,500 --> 00:18:59,567
I'm not here about Michael.

496
00:18:59,700 --> 00:19:01,900
Actually, I found
this ring in Boston,

497
00:19:02,033 --> 00:19:03,467
and I think it belonged
to your grandmother,

498
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:04,567
and I was wondering

499
00:19:04,700 --> 00:19:06,934
if you had
some more information on it.

500
00:19:07,066 --> 00:19:08,867
What makes you think
this was my grandmother's?

501
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,800
I tracked the jeweler's insignia
to Pine Grove.

502
00:19:11,934 --> 00:19:13,400
It was made for William,
your grandfather.

503
00:19:15,734 --> 00:19:16,867
Hmm.

504
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:17,900
I don't recognize it.

505
00:19:18,033 --> 00:19:20,033
So you never saw her wear it?

506
00:19:20,166 --> 00:19:21,233
Not even on special occasions?

507
00:19:21,367 --> 00:19:22,633
No. I don't think so.

508
00:19:22,767 --> 00:19:23,734
Are you sure it was Pearl's?

509
00:19:23,867 --> 00:19:24,800
No.

510
00:19:24,934 --> 00:19:26,033
That's what
I'm trying to confirm.

511
00:19:26,166 --> 00:19:27,433
The description
in the jeweler's ledger

512
00:19:27,567 --> 00:19:29,233
was the same,
but, so far,

513
00:19:29,367 --> 00:19:30,867
no one seems to remember
Pearl having this ring.

514
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:32,633
Hmm. You asked Michael?

515
00:19:32,767 --> 00:19:34,433
I did.

516
00:19:34,567 --> 00:19:37,367
Um... right before he asked me
to leave his property.

517
00:19:37,500 --> 00:19:39,433
Yeah. He's had
a pretty rough year.

518
00:19:39,567 --> 00:19:40,567
There must be
something we can do

519
00:19:40,700 --> 00:19:42,734
to look into the ring.

520
00:19:42,867 --> 00:19:44,834
I was hoping to maybe
look through some family albums?

521
00:19:46,700 --> 00:19:47,967
Those are all with Michael
at the moment,

522
00:19:48,100 --> 00:19:49,734
and I really don't think
he'd be up for that.

523
00:19:49,867 --> 00:19:51,266
I want you both to know

524
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,100
I didn't realize who Michael was
until I got here.

525
00:19:53,233 --> 00:19:55,734
I'm the editor in chief
at the Pine Grove Gazette.

526
00:19:55,867 --> 00:19:58,700
We have a whole back room
of old newspapers and microfilm,

527
00:19:58,834 --> 00:20:00,300
and the benefit
of being in a small town

528
00:20:00,433 --> 00:20:02,000
is that everything
makes the newspaper.

529
00:20:03,100 --> 00:20:04,066
Maybe you'd like to come look

530
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:05,600
and see if there's
something helpful there?

531
00:20:05,734 --> 00:20:07,066
Yes, that would be great!

532
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:08,700
Great. I'm going right now
if you're free?

533
00:20:08,834 --> 00:20:10,266
I am!

534
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:11,533
Thank you so much.

535
00:20:11,667 --> 00:20:12,633
Of course.

536
00:20:13,767 --> 00:20:15,033
Oh, thanks again
for the coffee.

537
00:20:15,166 --> 00:20:16,166
Yeah, you're welcome.

538
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:18,600
[Kendra] Yeah.

539
00:20:18,734 --> 00:20:19,834
[Scott] Bye, honey.

540
00:20:25,266 --> 00:20:27,767
[Kendra] I love that Pine Grove
still has a printed newspaper.

541
00:20:27,900 --> 00:20:29,233
Me too.

542
00:20:29,367 --> 00:20:31,000
It was one of the reasons
I moved here after college.

543
00:20:31,133 --> 00:20:32,000
So you're not from here?

544
00:20:32,133 --> 00:20:33,066
No.

545
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:34,333
Became editor
about 10 years ago,

546
00:20:34,467 --> 00:20:35,400
I met Scott,

547
00:20:35,533 --> 00:20:36,600
and now it's home.

548
00:20:36,734 --> 00:20:38,600
-Did you know Pearl?
-I did.

549
00:20:38,734 --> 00:20:41,100
I was lucky enough to know her
for a few years, actually.

550
00:20:41,233 --> 00:20:42,200
She gave the best hugs.

551
00:20:44,266 --> 00:20:45,300
Do you know if there was ever

552
00:20:45,433 --> 00:20:47,200
a break-in or a robbery
at Pearl's residence?

553
00:20:48,233 --> 00:20:49,433
Not that I know of.

554
00:20:51,066 --> 00:20:52,900
You really are just here
just to investigate the ring.

555
00:20:53,033 --> 00:20:54,500
Ever since I found it,

556
00:20:54,633 --> 00:20:58,333
I've had this overwhelming need
to uncover the story behind it.

557
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:00,834
I've been like that
my whole life.

558
00:21:00,967 --> 00:21:03,533
Always curious
to figure things out.

559
00:21:03,667 --> 00:21:06,200
My dad used to call me
"Nellie" as a nickname.

560
00:21:06,333 --> 00:21:07,333
As in Nellie Bly?

561
00:21:07,467 --> 00:21:10,867
"Energy rightly applied
and directed

562
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:12,734
will accomplish anything."

563
00:21:12,867 --> 00:21:14,500
Wow.

564
00:21:14,633 --> 00:21:15,900
She's the reason
I went into journalism.

565
00:21:16,033 --> 00:21:17,000
Me too!

566
00:21:18,767 --> 00:21:19,734
Let me show you something.

567
00:21:23,467 --> 00:21:25,633
This is our microfilm reader.

568
00:21:25,767 --> 00:21:27,367
Now, the Gazette's
been in print since 1902

569
00:21:27,500 --> 00:21:28,900
and everything
is organized by year.

570
00:21:30,033 --> 00:21:31,567
The ring inscription
says 1948,

571
00:21:31,700 --> 00:21:33,133
so I'll start around there.

572
00:21:33,266 --> 00:21:35,433
This is more
than I could ask for.

573
00:21:35,567 --> 00:21:37,033
I'll just be down the hall
if you need some help.

574
00:21:37,166 --> 00:21:38,967
Thank you again, so much.

575
00:21:39,100 --> 00:21:40,066
Of course.

576
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:41,667
I'm just so excited
to see what you find.

577
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:43,000
I'll let you know.

578
00:21:49,767 --> 00:21:51,900
[♪♪]

579
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,066
"War veteran and railroad worker
William Jones

580
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,467
proposed to Pearl Ellen
on December 24, 1948

581
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:14,734
at the Pine Grove
Christmas Eve Dance,

582
00:22:14,867 --> 00:22:17,166
exactly one year
after they met."

583
00:22:23,834 --> 00:22:24,800
[takes a screenshot]

584
00:22:26,900 --> 00:22:30,900
[♪♪]

585
00:22:34,900 --> 00:22:36,667
[Kendra] Oh, great,
the tree lighting!

586
00:22:41,100 --> 00:22:42,834
Oh!

587
00:22:42,967 --> 00:22:45,967
I mean, now it just feels like
you're following me around.

588
00:22:46,100 --> 00:22:47,700
I promise you, I'm not.

589
00:22:47,834 --> 00:22:49,467
I was just doing some research.

590
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:50,533
Right, on that ring

591
00:22:50,667 --> 00:22:52,133
that you claim
belonged to my grandmother.

592
00:22:53,166 --> 00:22:54,767
Um...

593
00:22:54,900 --> 00:22:55,900
not a claim anymore.

594
00:23:02,233 --> 00:23:03,767
I've never seen
this picture before.

595
00:23:03,900 --> 00:23:05,433
[Kendra]
They made a cute couple.

596
00:23:05,567 --> 00:23:07,967
And see?

597
00:23:08,100 --> 00:23:09,200
The ring.

598
00:23:14,166 --> 00:23:15,467
Where did you say
you found the ring again?

599
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:16,700
Antique sale in Boston.

600
00:23:16,834 --> 00:23:19,300
How'd it wind up in Boston?

601
00:23:19,433 --> 00:23:20,600
That's what I want to know.

602
00:23:21,767 --> 00:23:24,000
They seem like they were
very much in love.

603
00:23:24,133 --> 00:23:25,200
You know, after he died,

604
00:23:25,333 --> 00:23:26,967
she'd go on and on
about how great a man he was.

605
00:23:28,734 --> 00:23:29,600
I mean, maybe it was stolen?

606
00:23:29,734 --> 00:23:30,667
Maybe.

607
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:31,800
I sometimes wonder

608
00:23:31,934 --> 00:23:33,033
if that's what happened
to my mom's.

609
00:23:33,166 --> 00:23:35,867
I was searching for her ring
when I found this one.

610
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:38,500
Kendra!
You left your laptop.

611
00:23:38,633 --> 00:23:40,033
Oh, you're a life saver.

612
00:23:41,900 --> 00:23:42,800
Thank you so much.

613
00:23:42,934 --> 00:23:44,300
-Michael, hey.
-Hey.

614
00:23:44,433 --> 00:23:45,667
Did Kendra show you
what she found?

615
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:47,867
Uh, yeah, she did.

616
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:49,600
So, how's the set-up coming?

617
00:23:49,734 --> 00:23:50,800
It's getting there.

618
00:23:50,934 --> 00:23:52,967
The newspaper sponsors
the Main Street Festival,

619
00:23:53,100 --> 00:23:54,433
so I wrangled
this builder extraordinaire

620
00:23:54,567 --> 00:23:55,433
to set up the booths.

621
00:23:55,567 --> 00:23:56,433
Oh!

622
00:23:56,567 --> 00:23:58,200
I am happy
to put my skills to use.

623
00:23:58,333 --> 00:23:59,333
The best architects
are the ones

624
00:23:59,467 --> 00:24:00,967
who know how to build
with their own two hands.

625
00:24:01,100 --> 00:24:02,200
Do you have a firm
here in Pine Grove?

626
00:24:02,333 --> 00:24:04,100
Uh, no.
No, I don't.

627
00:24:04,233 --> 00:24:05,667
Well, it's something
to consider.

628
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:06,700
You know what,

629
00:24:06,834 --> 00:24:08,000
I haven't really decided

630
00:24:08,133 --> 00:24:09,767
what my future business plans
are, but in the time being,

631
00:24:09,900 --> 00:24:11,600
I should probably
get back to these booths.

632
00:24:11,734 --> 00:24:13,834
From everything
I've read and heard,

633
00:24:13,967 --> 00:24:15,533
the Pine Grove
Christmas Festival

634
00:24:15,667 --> 00:24:17,033
seems like the place to be.

635
00:24:17,166 --> 00:24:18,200
[Trish] So you'll come?

636
00:24:18,333 --> 00:24:19,767
Um, sugary treats,

637
00:24:19,900 --> 00:24:20,834
Christmas-tree lightings,

638
00:24:20,967 --> 00:24:22,367
a chance to ask around
about Pearl?

639
00:24:22,500 --> 00:24:23,367
Oh, I'll be there.

640
00:24:23,500 --> 00:24:24,867
Great!

641
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:26,333
Actually, if you need
a hand with anything,

642
00:24:26,467 --> 00:24:27,333
I'd love to help out.

643
00:24:27,467 --> 00:24:28,767
It's just been me
the past couple of years,

644
00:24:28,900 --> 00:24:29,767
so it's been a while

645
00:24:29,900 --> 00:24:31,500
since I've had
a proper Christmas.

646
00:24:31,633 --> 00:24:32,834
We would love that!

647
00:24:32,967 --> 00:24:33,867
I'll go get the sign-up sheet.

648
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:35,133
-Okay.
-Okay.

649
00:24:43,867 --> 00:24:45,300
[Sarah] I've gotten up
to talk to you twice now

650
00:24:45,433 --> 00:24:47,367
before remembering
you're not here today.

651
00:24:47,500 --> 00:24:48,400
I miss you, too.

652
00:24:48,533 --> 00:24:50,000
Find anything out?

653
00:24:50,133 --> 00:24:51,700
I found out
where they got engaged,

654
00:24:51,834 --> 00:24:53,200
when they got engaged.

655
00:24:53,333 --> 00:24:54,934
I know that no one remembers
Pearl having the ring,

656
00:24:55,066 --> 00:24:56,066
but...

657
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,266
she is pictured
right here wearing it.

658
00:25:00,433 --> 00:25:01,400
And Michael Jones?

659
00:25:01,533 --> 00:25:02,467
Any luck with him?

660
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:04,533
I think he's slowly
coming around.

661
00:25:05,934 --> 00:25:07,133
Michael Jones?

662
00:25:07,266 --> 00:25:09,333
Development heiress
Sandra Evans' ex, Michael Jones?

663
00:25:09,467 --> 00:25:11,300
Hi, Linda.

664
00:25:11,433 --> 00:25:13,400
Well, I hope you're enjoying
your personal days

665
00:25:13,533 --> 00:25:15,166
because we need you
back here pronto

666
00:25:15,300 --> 00:25:16,633
for a list
of the most popular names

667
00:25:16,767 --> 00:25:19,633
given to babies
born in December.

668
00:25:19,767 --> 00:25:21,133
Right. I'll be back tomorrow.

669
00:25:21,266 --> 00:25:23,066
I was just doing
one last thing before I--

670
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:24,333
Where are you?

671
00:25:24,467 --> 00:25:25,700
Is that a painting of a fish?

672
00:25:27,033 --> 00:25:28,767
Um, actually,
I'm in Pine Grove.

673
00:25:28,900 --> 00:25:30,767
Doing what?

674
00:25:30,900 --> 00:25:33,000
I traced that ring,

675
00:25:33,133 --> 00:25:34,734
and it turns out
it was made right here.

676
00:25:34,867 --> 00:25:36,967
You are one stubborn writer,
you know that?

677
00:25:37,100 --> 00:25:37,967
Spending your days off

678
00:25:38,100 --> 00:25:39,400
researching a story
I said no to.

679
00:25:40,867 --> 00:25:42,400
So, have you solved
the great ring mystery?

680
00:25:42,533 --> 00:25:44,633
Not yet, but getting traction.

681
00:25:44,767 --> 00:25:46,433
And how does Michael Jones
play into all of this?

682
00:25:46,567 --> 00:25:47,734
Funny coincidence,

683
00:25:47,867 --> 00:25:49,166
the ring belonged
to his grandmother.

684
00:25:50,433 --> 00:25:52,166
Have you interviewed him?

685
00:25:52,300 --> 00:25:54,100
Not officially, no.

686
00:25:54,233 --> 00:25:55,834
You know what?

687
00:25:55,967 --> 00:25:57,600
I should have trusted
your instincts with this ring

688
00:25:57,734 --> 00:25:58,600
from the start.

689
00:25:58,734 --> 00:26:00,233
Really?

690
00:26:00,367 --> 00:26:02,500
Yeah, I think
there's a story there.

691
00:26:02,633 --> 00:26:04,133
So...

692
00:26:04,266 --> 00:26:05,700
I can keep
looking into things here?

693
00:26:05,834 --> 00:26:07,700
Get as much information
as you can.

694
00:26:07,834 --> 00:26:08,800
Stay a few days.

695
00:26:08,934 --> 00:26:10,000
Quizzer will pick up the tab.

696
00:26:10,133 --> 00:26:12,000
I appreciate that.

697
00:26:12,133 --> 00:26:14,000
Just find out everything
about the family.

698
00:26:14,133 --> 00:26:15,200
And the ring.

699
00:26:15,333 --> 00:26:16,200
Of course.

700
00:26:16,333 --> 00:26:17,700
Broken engagements, lost rings,

701
00:26:17,834 --> 00:26:18,800
perhaps a parallel

702
00:26:18,934 --> 00:26:20,567
holiday-heartbreak storyline?

703
00:26:20,700 --> 00:26:23,867
Well, I'm not sure
if that's the exact angle,

704
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:25,300
but I'll find out
the whole story.

705
00:26:25,433 --> 00:26:26,700
But whatever you find,
make it fit,

706
00:26:26,834 --> 00:26:28,667
and remember, I need it
by midnight Thursday.

707
00:26:31,433 --> 00:26:32,400
At least now Linda's on board.

708
00:26:32,533 --> 00:26:33,667
Well, she seemed to perk up

709
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,166
when I mentioned the ring's
connection to Michael.

710
00:26:36,300 --> 00:26:38,000
If that's what it takes
to get her to back you,

711
00:26:38,133 --> 00:26:40,300
then just maybe mention him
in a sentence or two?

712
00:26:40,433 --> 00:26:42,867
Or...

713
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,133
I'll just have to show Linda
more what I had in mind.

714
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:47,934
See ya.

715
00:26:50,767 --> 00:26:52,100
Hmm.

716
00:26:54,133 --> 00:26:57,033
[♪♪]

717
00:26:57,166 --> 00:26:58,900
Merry Christmas.

718
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,133
Oh, everything looks so good.

719
00:27:03,266 --> 00:27:04,667
Please, take one on us.

720
00:27:06,333 --> 00:27:07,266
Which one?

721
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:10,000
Mini trifle cup.
Hands-down.

722
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:12,400
Coming right up.

723
00:27:12,533 --> 00:27:14,300
Michael, the booth
looks amazing this year.

724
00:27:14,433 --> 00:27:15,767
Good. I'm glad I could help.

725
00:27:15,900 --> 00:27:18,600
Actually, while you still have
your toolbox on you,

726
00:27:18,734 --> 00:27:20,066
do you mind hanging
the extra garland

727
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:21,266
around the stage platform?

728
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:22,266
It just looks a little bland.

729
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:23,300
Say no more.

730
00:27:23,433 --> 00:27:24,467
Paul, do you want
to give me a hand?

731
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:27,300
Sorry, I have to get
more snowman eclairs.

732
00:27:27,433 --> 00:27:28,400
I can help you.

733
00:27:29,700 --> 00:27:31,400
Uh, yeah, okay. Sure.

734
00:27:33,266 --> 00:27:34,233
One for the road?

735
00:27:38,166 --> 00:27:39,667
Oh.

736
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:43,667
Oh!

737
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,100
So, when you were
measuring the sidewalks,

738
00:27:47,233 --> 00:27:49,633
it was to help you
set up for all this?

739
00:27:49,767 --> 00:27:50,633
Yeah.

740
00:27:50,767 --> 00:27:52,300
Well, it looks great.

741
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:55,433
I can't tell
if you're mocking me.

742
00:27:55,567 --> 00:27:56,867
No, I'm serious.

743
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:58,767
It's beautiful.

744
00:27:58,900 --> 00:28:00,934
My grandma served

745
00:28:01,066 --> 00:28:02,200
on the town's
Christmas committee,

746
00:28:02,333 --> 00:28:03,567
every single year--

747
00:28:03,700 --> 00:28:05,433
the group that puts together
the Main Street Festival.

748
00:28:05,567 --> 00:28:07,934
You should have seen the store
back in those days.

749
00:28:08,066 --> 00:28:10,734
I mean, people would come in
from all over.

750
00:28:12,300 --> 00:28:14,667
She always volunteered
me and Scott, so...

751
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:15,800
helping out, it just--

752
00:28:15,934 --> 00:28:17,200
it's...

753
00:28:17,333 --> 00:28:19,133
just a way for me
to feel connected to her.

754
00:28:19,266 --> 00:28:20,500
How come there's really not

755
00:28:20,633 --> 00:28:21,834
that much decoration
at the store now?

756
00:28:21,967 --> 00:28:23,367
That's Scott's jurisdiction.

757
00:28:23,500 --> 00:28:25,166
I mean, we both
inherited the store,

758
00:28:25,300 --> 00:28:26,533
it's just...

759
00:28:26,667 --> 00:28:28,633
after I moved to New York,

760
00:28:28,767 --> 00:28:29,734
it became his thing.

761
00:28:31,300 --> 00:28:32,300
I don't know.

762
00:28:32,433 --> 00:28:33,900
I haven't really been home
for a few Christmases,

763
00:28:34,033 --> 00:28:36,066
so I wouldn't feel right
telling him what to do with
the place.

764
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:39,500
And it seems like
Pearl's Christmas shoes

765
00:28:39,633 --> 00:28:40,600
would be hard to fill.

766
00:28:40,734 --> 00:28:43,367
If this town had crowned
a Christmas queen,

767
00:28:43,500 --> 00:28:45,166
it would have been grandma.

768
00:28:45,300 --> 00:28:46,333
What was her favorite part?

769
00:28:46,467 --> 00:28:47,800
Oh, hands-down,
the Christmas Eve Dance.

770
00:28:47,934 --> 00:28:49,300
Where she met your grandfather.

771
00:28:49,433 --> 00:28:50,300
That's right. Yeah.

772
00:28:50,433 --> 00:28:51,400
Pass me the--

773
00:28:54,433 --> 00:28:56,233
-Thank you.
-You're welcome.

774
00:29:00,300 --> 00:29:01,734
You seem more at ease
when you're working.

775
00:29:03,633 --> 00:29:06,233
Well, you know, manual labor
was always my forte.

776
00:29:06,367 --> 00:29:08,266
I just never really got around
to doing much of it in New York.

777
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:09,333
It's rare that you see

778
00:29:09,467 --> 00:29:11,333
architects
actually doing the building.

779
00:29:11,467 --> 00:29:13,000
Normally, we're expected
to pose in hard hats

780
00:29:13,133 --> 00:29:14,600
on magazine covers.

781
00:29:14,734 --> 00:29:15,934
I have a hard time
seeing you modeling.

782
00:29:16,066 --> 00:29:17,266
I'm gonna take that
as a compliment.

783
00:29:18,834 --> 00:29:19,700
So...

784
00:29:19,834 --> 00:29:21,100
So.

785
00:29:21,233 --> 00:29:22,567
What were Pearl and William
like together?

786
00:29:22,700 --> 00:29:23,900
You don't give up, do you?

787
00:29:24,033 --> 00:29:26,266
No.

788
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:28,834
I was about 10
when my grandfather died,

789
00:29:28,967 --> 00:29:30,033
so I don't really have

790
00:29:30,166 --> 00:29:31,900
too many memories
of the two of them together,

791
00:29:32,033 --> 00:29:33,734
but from
all the stories I've heard

792
00:29:33,867 --> 00:29:36,333
and the pictures I've seen,

793
00:29:36,467 --> 00:29:39,600
they seem like two people
who were very much in love.

794
00:29:41,333 --> 00:29:43,934
But it's hard growing up
with that as a measuring stick.

795
00:29:44,066 --> 00:29:46,767
I mean, my parents were...

796
00:29:46,900 --> 00:29:48,767
the perfect example
of soulmates.

797
00:29:48,900 --> 00:29:50,500
-They made it look easy?
-Yes.

798
00:29:50,633 --> 00:29:52,433
They set some
pretty high standards

799
00:29:52,567 --> 00:29:55,734
that, um...

800
00:29:55,867 --> 00:29:57,233
I still seem to be chasing.

801
00:29:57,367 --> 00:29:58,767
If only we knew their secrets.

802
00:30:04,500 --> 00:30:05,700
I'd say the garland
looks pretty good.

803
00:30:05,834 --> 00:30:07,700
I'm gonna focus on the speakers
and the microphones,

804
00:30:07,834 --> 00:30:09,567
see if I can get them ready
before the countdown starts.

805
00:30:09,700 --> 00:30:10,567
Okay.

806
00:30:10,700 --> 00:30:12,600
And, um,
that roasted-chestnut booth

807
00:30:12,734 --> 00:30:15,200
has been calling my name
all night.

808
00:30:15,333 --> 00:30:16,367
All right.

809
00:30:16,500 --> 00:30:17,867
Well, listen,
thank you for your help.

810
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,367
Thanks for actually
letting me ask you a question

811
00:30:20,500 --> 00:30:21,834
without telling me to get lost.

812
00:30:21,967 --> 00:30:23,533
-All right.
-See ya.

813
00:30:23,667 --> 00:30:24,633
Bye.

814
00:30:30,066 --> 00:30:31,100
Mic hooked up
for the countdown?

815
00:30:31,233 --> 00:30:32,233
Just about.

816
00:30:32,367 --> 00:30:34,667
You and Kendra
seem to be getting along.

817
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:35,667
Thank you so much.

818
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:36,867
Yeah.

819
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:37,867
She... she gave me a hand.

820
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:39,367
She seems nice.

821
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:41,266
She is.

822
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:43,200
It's...

823
00:30:43,333 --> 00:30:44,734
What?

824
00:30:44,867 --> 00:30:45,834
Part of me can't help but think

825
00:30:45,967 --> 00:30:46,934
it's one big ruse

826
00:30:47,066 --> 00:30:48,467
to get the scoop
on my break-up with Sandra.

827
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:50,367
She did find Pearl's ring,

828
00:30:50,500 --> 00:30:52,066
and she drove all the way here
to look into it.

829
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:53,734
I don't know,
that seems genuine to me.

830
00:30:53,867 --> 00:30:54,967
[Scott] Look, I know

831
00:30:55,100 --> 00:30:56,700
you don't like to talk about
what happened in New York,

832
00:30:56,834 --> 00:30:59,867
but I hope you know we're here
for you if you want to.

833
00:31:00,066 --> 00:31:01,467
All you need to know

834
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:04,633
is that I fell
for the wrong person...

835
00:31:04,767 --> 00:31:05,900
and I'm not eager
to do that again.

836
00:31:06,033 --> 00:31:06,967
We want you to know

837
00:31:07,100 --> 00:31:08,600
that we think
it's possible to trust again.

838
00:31:09,633 --> 00:31:13,000
Maybe try showing her
some of grandma's things?

839
00:31:13,133 --> 00:31:15,333
Let her prove she's here
for the right reasons.

840
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:19,500
Merry Christmas.

841
00:31:22,300 --> 00:31:23,467
So, ever since
we've parted ways,

842
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:25,400
you've just been going around,

843
00:31:25,533 --> 00:31:28,166
asking strangers
about my grandparents?

844
00:31:28,300 --> 00:31:29,266
Pretty much.

845
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:31,567
Mrs. Katz was just telling me

846
00:31:31,700 --> 00:31:32,967
that Pearl was
the three-time winner

847
00:31:33,100 --> 00:31:34,800
of the Fourth of July
Hot Dog Eating Contest.

848
00:31:34,934 --> 00:31:36,166
Actually, she won four times.

849
00:31:36,300 --> 00:31:37,600
Impressive.

850
00:31:37,734 --> 00:31:38,967
She was an impressive woman.

851
00:31:39,100 --> 00:31:40,200
That's what I'm gathering.

852
00:31:41,734 --> 00:31:42,834
[Trish] Hello, everyone!

853
00:31:42,967 --> 00:31:45,667
[Kendra] They're starting.
Come on.

854
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:46,967
Welcome to
the Pine Grove Gazette's

855
00:31:47,100 --> 00:31:49,100
annual Christmas-Tree-lighting
ceremony.

856
00:31:49,233 --> 00:31:51,166
[applause]

857
00:31:54,066 --> 00:31:55,667
Now, a very special thanks

858
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:57,433
goes to
the Christmas Festival Committee

859
00:31:57,567 --> 00:31:59,300
and everyone here
who helped set this up.

860
00:31:59,433 --> 00:32:01,734
[applause]

861
00:32:05,533 --> 00:32:07,667
And now
for the very best part,

862
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:09,567
I want to hear you
all count along loudly with me.

863
00:32:09,700 --> 00:32:10,667
Ready?

864
00:32:12,133 --> 00:32:13,000
10...

865
00:32:13,133 --> 00:32:14,000
9...

866
00:32:14,133 --> 00:32:15,500
8... 7...

867
00:32:15,633 --> 00:32:17,400
6... 5...

868
00:32:17,533 --> 00:32:18,467
4...

869
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:20,200
3, 2...

870
00:32:20,333 --> 00:32:21,867
1!

871
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:23,300
[applause and cheering]

872
00:32:27,867 --> 00:32:29,567
This place is so special.

873
00:32:34,633 --> 00:32:37,633
Look, if you want
to come by tomorrow,

874
00:32:37,767 --> 00:32:39,400
I could show you
some of my grandparents' things.

875
00:32:40,867 --> 00:32:43,300
I mean, it might be useful,
you know.

876
00:32:43,433 --> 00:32:44,667
For the story.

877
00:32:45,934 --> 00:32:47,734
That would be wonderful.

878
00:32:47,867 --> 00:32:49,166
Thank you.

879
00:32:49,300 --> 00:32:51,133
-Sure.
-Okay.

880
00:32:51,266 --> 00:32:52,400
Okay.

881
00:32:52,533 --> 00:32:54,367
I'll see you tomorrow.

882
00:32:54,500 --> 00:32:55,467
Great.

883
00:32:59,867 --> 00:33:04,300
[♪♪]

884
00:33:08,467 --> 00:33:10,066
[saw whirring]

885
00:33:16,266 --> 00:33:17,166
I hope I'm not too early.

886
00:33:17,300 --> 00:33:18,967
No, you're good.

887
00:33:19,100 --> 00:33:20,100
I...

888
00:33:20,233 --> 00:33:21,667
was just trying to finish
updating the back porch

889
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:22,767
before another snow storm.

890
00:33:25,133 --> 00:33:26,266
What's under that blanket?

891
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:29,066
That is actually
my grandfather's old car.

892
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:31,333
It stopped running
before I was born,

893
00:33:31,467 --> 00:33:32,467
but my grandmother kept it.

894
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:34,533
I've been tinkering with it
here and there,

895
00:33:34,667 --> 00:33:36,100
trying to get it going again.

896
00:33:37,633 --> 00:33:38,600
Wow!

897
00:33:41,133 --> 00:33:42,033
A '51 Chevy Deluxe?

898
00:33:42,166 --> 00:33:44,100
Yeah. You know your cars.

899
00:33:44,233 --> 00:33:47,166
It's that whole
mid-century Christmas era.

900
00:33:47,300 --> 00:33:50,166
I've always been obsessed
with anything related to it.

901
00:33:50,300 --> 00:33:51,300
I think it started

902
00:33:51,433 --> 00:33:53,100
because all my best
Christmas memories

903
00:33:53,233 --> 00:33:54,767
were inspired
by that time period.

904
00:33:55,967 --> 00:33:57,300
Listening to Nat King Cole

905
00:33:57,433 --> 00:33:58,767
while decorating our tree

906
00:33:58,900 --> 00:34:01,867
with those old-school
"Shiny Brite" bulb ornaments.

907
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,100
I love Nat King Cole.

908
00:34:04,233 --> 00:34:05,400
And my dad inherited

909
00:34:05,533 --> 00:34:06,734
my grandfather's collection

910
00:34:06,867 --> 00:34:09,166
of these comic books
called the Christmas Almanacs.

911
00:34:09,300 --> 00:34:10,333
I loved flipping through them,

912
00:34:10,467 --> 00:34:11,433
not for the stories,

913
00:34:11,567 --> 00:34:13,100
but for the ads inside

914
00:34:13,233 --> 00:34:15,467
depicting
the picture-perfect Christmas.

915
00:34:16,834 --> 00:34:17,867
I get it.

916
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:19,433
It's like...

917
00:34:19,567 --> 00:34:21,934
It's like a feeling of nostalgia
for a time we've never been to.

918
00:34:22,066 --> 00:34:23,600
Exactly.

919
00:34:23,734 --> 00:34:25,500
Yeah.

920
00:34:25,633 --> 00:34:27,500
Maybe that's why I was so drawn
to Pearl's ring.

921
00:34:27,633 --> 00:34:29,500
In that case,
shall we go inside?

922
00:34:30,734 --> 00:34:32,166
Because there is
a bunch of stuff in the attic

923
00:34:32,300 --> 00:34:34,667
that I think you are going to be
very interested in.

924
00:34:36,567 --> 00:34:37,433
Okay.

925
00:34:37,567 --> 00:34:38,934
Thank you.

926
00:34:39,066 --> 00:34:40,000
It's mostly the same

927
00:34:40,133 --> 00:34:42,500
as when my grandmother
lived here.

928
00:34:42,633 --> 00:34:44,266
You know,
minus the Christmas decorations,

929
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:45,834
obviously that's all me.

930
00:34:45,967 --> 00:34:47,166
I just--

931
00:34:47,300 --> 00:34:48,834
I haven't had the heart
to take anything down yet,

932
00:34:48,967 --> 00:34:50,700
plus...

933
00:34:50,834 --> 00:34:52,166
you know, I don't know
how long I'm staying.

934
00:34:52,300 --> 00:34:53,266
Did you grow up here?

935
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:54,367
Yeah.

936
00:34:57,533 --> 00:35:01,066
Our parents died in an accident
when we were very little,

937
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:02,333
so we came to live here.

938
00:35:02,467 --> 00:35:03,667
After Grandpa died,

939
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:06,300
it was just Pearl
and the two of us, so.

940
00:35:06,433 --> 00:35:08,200
That's a lot to take on.

941
00:35:09,467 --> 00:35:10,667
She didn't think
twice about it.

942
00:35:13,100 --> 00:35:16,667
I love the old-school
Greek-revival architecture.

943
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:19,333
Talk about being transported
back in time.

944
00:35:19,467 --> 00:35:21,767
[Michael] Well, actually,
it's called Colonial.

945
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:25,333
Because it was built
in the 1890s.

946
00:35:25,467 --> 00:35:27,333
I guess growing up
in a house like this

947
00:35:27,467 --> 00:35:29,900
really fueled
your passion for design.

948
00:35:30,033 --> 00:35:31,133
That's funny,
you know,

949
00:35:31,266 --> 00:35:33,166
I never thought of it that way,
but, yeah, you're right.

950
00:35:33,300 --> 00:35:34,266
Plus, Grandpa was super handy.

951
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:36,300
In fact, he built
that whole Christmas village

952
00:35:36,433 --> 00:35:37,500
up on the fireplace.

953
00:35:42,567 --> 00:35:44,400
Oh, the detail is amazing.

954
00:35:46,367 --> 00:35:47,667
It's like he shrunk
a whole town.

955
00:35:48,967 --> 00:35:50,300
Wow.

956
00:35:50,433 --> 00:35:51,900
Look at the school.

957
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:56,967
Wow, I don't think
I've ever seen an attic

958
00:35:57,100 --> 00:35:58,367
so beautifully lit.

959
00:35:59,633 --> 00:36:01,133
Pearl made sure
there was a touch of Christmas

960
00:36:01,266 --> 00:36:02,400
all year round.

961
00:36:03,867 --> 00:36:04,867
You know, Scott and I

962
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:06,633
haven't really had a chance
to go through all these.

963
00:36:06,767 --> 00:36:07,734
We've been so busy

964
00:36:07,867 --> 00:36:09,000
trying to get the store
ready to sell.

965
00:36:09,133 --> 00:36:11,166
Feel free to take a look around.

966
00:36:11,300 --> 00:36:12,600
-Thanks.
-You're welcome.

967
00:36:15,667 --> 00:36:16,633
Oh...

968
00:36:18,934 --> 00:36:20,166
What's this?

969
00:36:22,266 --> 00:36:24,166
That is our old dress-up chest.

970
00:36:24,300 --> 00:36:25,600
Oh...

971
00:36:29,033 --> 00:36:30,467
It seems so much smaller.

972
00:36:31,667 --> 00:36:33,333
-I'll show you.
-Okay.

973
00:36:33,467 --> 00:36:34,600
-May I?
-Yeah.

974
00:36:35,867 --> 00:36:37,967
Grandma used to make
all our costumes.

975
00:36:38,100 --> 00:36:39,066
Wow. Okay.

976
00:36:41,133 --> 00:36:42,367
This is from
our school Christmas play.

977
00:36:42,500 --> 00:36:43,834
You played a reindeer?

978
00:36:43,967 --> 00:36:45,300
Comet to be exact.

979
00:36:45,433 --> 00:36:47,834
I would have pegged you
more as a Blitzen.

980
00:36:47,967 --> 00:36:49,300
Okay, that's really weird

981
00:36:49,433 --> 00:36:50,867
because I actually took
a quiz online one time

982
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:52,700
that said I was
more of a Blitzen.

983
00:36:52,834 --> 00:36:53,700
What?

984
00:36:53,834 --> 00:36:55,133
I wrote that quiz.

985
00:36:55,266 --> 00:36:56,133
Really?

986
00:36:56,266 --> 00:36:57,166
Mm-hmm.

987
00:36:57,300 --> 00:36:58,533
Because that feels
very different to me

988
00:36:58,667 --> 00:37:00,133
from investigating
the origins of a ring.

989
00:37:01,667 --> 00:37:04,767
Well, lists and quizzes
are Quizzer's bread and butter.

990
00:37:04,900 --> 00:37:09,400
My hope with doing this article
is to expand its horizons,

991
00:37:09,533 --> 00:37:12,367
focus on
more substantive pieces.

992
00:37:12,500 --> 00:37:13,900
-I like that.
-It's risky, though.

993
00:37:14,033 --> 00:37:15,567
If this fails,

994
00:37:15,700 --> 00:37:17,300
I'll be back to writing
"which tree topper are you"

995
00:37:17,433 --> 00:37:18,467
full time.

996
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:20,367
How did you end up
at Quizzer to begin with?

997
00:37:20,500 --> 00:37:21,633
Well, it turns out

998
00:37:21,767 --> 00:37:23,667
journalism jobs
are hard to come by.

999
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:25,066
Quizzer was one of
the only places hiring

1000
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:26,066
when I got out of school.

1001
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:27,433
Have you thought about leaving?

1002
00:37:27,567 --> 00:37:28,567
I've gotten comfortable there.

1003
00:37:28,700 --> 00:37:29,867
The pay is great,

1004
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:31,700
and, oddly enough,

1005
00:37:31,834 --> 00:37:34,200
I'm good at writing quizzes
about elves and reindeers.

1006
00:37:36,667 --> 00:37:37,533
Even after I graduated

1007
00:37:37,667 --> 00:37:38,967
from Cornell's
architecture program,

1008
00:37:39,100 --> 00:37:40,033
I ended up spending six years

1009
00:37:40,166 --> 00:37:43,200
working as an assistant
at a design firm.

1010
00:37:43,333 --> 00:37:44,467
They kept promising
this promotion.

1011
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:45,467
It never came.

1012
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:47,767
So, one day, I just woke up,

1013
00:37:47,900 --> 00:37:49,300
and that was it,
I'd had enough.

1014
00:37:49,433 --> 00:37:50,300
I walked away.

1015
00:37:50,433 --> 00:37:51,567
Wow.

1016
00:37:51,700 --> 00:37:52,800
I started my own company.

1017
00:37:52,934 --> 00:37:55,567
That sounds freeing.

1018
00:37:55,700 --> 00:37:57,734
What I'm trying to say is that,
I mean, you could do that.

1019
00:37:57,867 --> 00:38:00,433
Right? You could start
your own online magazine,

1020
00:38:00,567 --> 00:38:02,967
you could focus on the stories
that you want to write.

1021
00:38:03,100 --> 00:38:04,967
Talk about taking a risk.

1022
00:38:07,567 --> 00:38:09,367
Pursuing anything you love
usually comes with...

1023
00:38:09,500 --> 00:38:10,467
comes with risks.

1024
00:38:19,066 --> 00:38:20,433
Um...

1025
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:23,000
How cute is this?

1026
00:38:23,133 --> 00:38:25,600
That is an elf that I made.

1027
00:38:26,734 --> 00:38:28,300
In art class.

1028
00:38:29,734 --> 00:38:31,834
Well, I'm so glad you went into
designing buildings

1029
00:38:31,967 --> 00:38:33,133
and not ceramic elves.

1030
00:38:33,266 --> 00:38:35,166
Okay, you know what,
how about you and I,

1031
00:38:35,300 --> 00:38:37,100
we grab a couple boxes,

1032
00:38:37,233 --> 00:38:38,667
and we go through them
downstairs?

1033
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:40,000
I'll make some hot chocolate.

1034
00:38:40,133 --> 00:38:41,100
Are you sure this is

1035
00:38:41,233 --> 00:38:43,500
so I don't find
any more elf statues?

1036
00:38:43,633 --> 00:38:44,934
No.

1037
00:38:45,066 --> 00:38:48,066
I just think that maybe
a sugar boost is in order.

1038
00:38:50,166 --> 00:38:51,133
Can't say no to that.

1039
00:38:55,333 --> 00:38:57,100
Grandma's debutante gloves.

1040
00:38:57,233 --> 00:38:58,100
[Kendra gasps]

1041
00:38:58,233 --> 00:39:00,767
Oh...

1042
00:39:00,900 --> 00:39:03,000
and her invitation
to the debutante ball.

1043
00:39:04,533 --> 00:39:05,867
-So elegant.
-Right?

1044
00:39:07,834 --> 00:39:09,166
What's this?

1045
00:39:10,967 --> 00:39:12,700
My grandfather's pay stubs
from the railway.

1046
00:39:14,333 --> 00:39:17,033
So she was a debutante
and he worked at the railroad?

1047
00:39:18,133 --> 00:39:19,266
Yeah.

1048
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:21,200
Huh.

1049
00:39:21,333 --> 00:39:23,033
Though they were from
two different worlds,

1050
00:39:23,166 --> 00:39:25,066
they still found each other.

1051
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:27,367
You make it sound
very romantic.

1052
00:39:27,500 --> 00:39:29,133
It is very romantic.

1053
00:39:31,500 --> 00:39:32,700
Can I see them?

1054
00:39:39,834 --> 00:39:42,033
-Strange.
-What is it?

1055
00:39:42,166 --> 00:39:43,934
Well, these pay stubs
are in chronological order,

1056
00:39:44,066 --> 00:39:45,767
but then there's
this huge gap in the dates.

1057
00:39:47,033 --> 00:39:48,066
Maybe some of them are missing.

1058
00:39:49,133 --> 00:39:50,834
What is this?

1059
00:39:50,967 --> 00:39:51,900
Blueprints.

1060
00:39:52,033 --> 00:39:53,433
Of the general store.

1061
00:39:55,367 --> 00:39:56,967
Wow. Unbelievable.

1062
00:39:58,333 --> 00:39:59,300
What's this?

1063
00:40:00,900 --> 00:40:02,500
"My dream for us. W."

1064
00:40:04,166 --> 00:40:05,233
Well, that's interesting.

1065
00:40:05,367 --> 00:40:07,367
I didn't know that
he designed the general store.

1066
00:40:07,500 --> 00:40:09,400
I always just assumed that it
was something

1067
00:40:09,533 --> 00:40:11,000
they bought together after
they got married.

1068
00:40:11,133 --> 00:40:12,100
Is there anything else with it?

1069
00:40:12,233 --> 00:40:13,200
-Maybe in that box?
-Um...

1070
00:40:19,500 --> 00:40:21,233
A deed for the property,

1071
00:40:21,367 --> 00:40:22,834
dated the same year
they got engaged.

1072
00:40:22,967 --> 00:40:24,233
-[Michael] 1948.
-[Kendra] Uh-huh.

1073
00:40:24,367 --> 00:40:27,033
The store didn't open
until 1951.

1074
00:40:29,166 --> 00:40:30,500
A structure the size
of the general store--

1075
00:40:30,633 --> 00:40:32,533
that shouldn't have taken them
three years to build.

1076
00:40:36,333 --> 00:40:37,567
Did Pearl ever mention anything

1077
00:40:37,700 --> 00:40:39,266
about her parents
not liking William?

1078
00:40:41,300 --> 00:40:42,934
No. I mean,
not that she ever told me.

1079
00:40:43,066 --> 00:40:44,033
Why?

1080
00:40:44,166 --> 00:40:45,667
I'm just wondering

1081
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:48,033
if her parents weren't happy
with her dating William.

1082
00:40:48,166 --> 00:40:49,333
Being a debutante,

1083
00:40:49,467 --> 00:40:51,200
she was supposed to date men
of a certain class, you know?

1084
00:40:51,333 --> 00:40:52,767
And William's job
at the railroad

1085
00:40:52,900 --> 00:40:54,533
would have been considered
working-class.

1086
00:40:54,667 --> 00:40:55,567
Where are you going with this?

1087
00:40:55,700 --> 00:40:56,934
Oh, I just think

1088
00:40:57,066 --> 00:40:58,900
it's an interesting facet
to the story.

1089
00:40:59,033 --> 00:41:00,266
So you're thinking

1090
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:02,266
William only wanted to be
with my grandmother

1091
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:03,433
because of her family's money?

1092
00:41:05,033 --> 00:41:06,667
Oh, no, not at all,
I didn't say that.

1093
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:08,467
To me, it looks like

1094
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:12,333
my grandpa was trying
to make something of himself.

1095
00:41:12,467 --> 00:41:13,633
Right?

1096
00:41:13,767 --> 00:41:14,900
He wasn't a gold digger.

1097
00:41:15,033 --> 00:41:16,767
I agree completely.

1098
00:41:16,900 --> 00:41:17,900
All I'm saying is that

1099
00:41:18,033 --> 00:41:19,834
it's possible
her parents didn't like him

1100
00:41:19,967 --> 00:41:22,166
based on his status in life,
that's all.

1101
00:41:22,300 --> 00:41:23,967
Yeah, I'm sorry, I just--

1102
00:41:24,100 --> 00:41:25,000
I don't know why I overreacted.

1103
00:41:25,133 --> 00:41:26,066
No.

1104
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:28,266
It's okay.

1105
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:29,600
You don't need
to explain yourself.

1106
00:41:32,633 --> 00:41:34,266
You know what I think?

1107
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:38,400
I think our marshmallows
need replenishing.

1108
00:41:48,467 --> 00:41:51,133
♪]

1109
00:41:53,333 --> 00:41:55,066
-Good morning.
-Morning.

1110
00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:56,400
Do you need a hand?

1111
00:41:56,533 --> 00:41:58,000
Oh!

1112
00:41:58,133 --> 00:41:59,033
Putting up more lights?

1113
00:41:59,166 --> 00:42:00,467
Oh, these aren't for here.

1114
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:02,333
They're for the bakery.
For Magnify Main Street night.

1115
00:42:02,467 --> 00:42:04,300
Magnify Main Street?

1116
00:42:04,433 --> 00:42:06,633
As part of the Main Street
Christmas Festival,

1117
00:42:06,767 --> 00:42:08,400
all the businesses
along Main Street

1118
00:42:08,533 --> 00:42:09,633
go all out with Christmas decor.

1119
00:42:09,767 --> 00:42:11,633
You think the street's
decorated now?

1120
00:42:11,767 --> 00:42:12,834
You should come back
Monday night.

1121
00:42:12,967 --> 00:42:14,200
People get pretty into it.

1122
00:42:15,767 --> 00:42:16,734
Hmm.

1123
00:42:21,333 --> 00:42:22,800
Merry Christmas!

1124
00:42:22,934 --> 00:42:24,367
You're in jolly spirits.

1125
00:42:24,500 --> 00:42:26,867
I was helping Paul get ready
for Magnify Main Street,

1126
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:28,300
and he was telling me

1127
00:42:28,433 --> 00:42:31,066
how all the stores on the street
get decked out to the nines.

1128
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:32,767
Yeah, people get into it.

1129
00:42:32,900 --> 00:42:34,200
Michael mentioned

1130
00:42:34,333 --> 00:42:36,100
that you two used to help
decorate the store with Pearl.

1131
00:42:36,233 --> 00:42:37,767
We did.

1132
00:42:37,900 --> 00:42:38,767
Yeah, unfortunately,

1133
00:42:38,900 --> 00:42:40,066
I haven't had a chance
this year.

1134
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:41,133
Trish is busy at the paper

1135
00:42:41,266 --> 00:42:43,467
and it's a tough job
for one person.

1136
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:44,467
Hmm.

1137
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:46,033
Also, as of yesterday,

1138
00:42:46,166 --> 00:42:48,233
we just got our first offer
on the place, so...

1139
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:51,400
Must be hard
to sell something

1140
00:42:51,533 --> 00:42:52,734
that's been in the family
for so long.

1141
00:42:52,867 --> 00:42:54,533
Yeah.

1142
00:42:54,667 --> 00:42:56,433
It just hasn't been
doing as well

1143
00:42:56,567 --> 00:42:58,467
since we lost Grandma.

1144
00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:00,200
I thought I had
what it took to run this place,

1145
00:43:00,333 --> 00:43:01,333
but...

1146
00:43:01,467 --> 00:43:02,633
Hey.

1147
00:43:02,767 --> 00:43:04,633
Come on, it's not your fault.

1148
00:43:04,767 --> 00:43:06,700
Everybody's just buying
everything online these days.

1149
00:43:07,767 --> 00:43:09,033
I would have loved
to have seen this place

1150
00:43:09,166 --> 00:43:10,333
all decked out
back in its heyday.

1151
00:43:10,467 --> 00:43:13,500
Grandma was always trying to
outdo herself year after year.

1152
00:43:13,633 --> 00:43:15,433
Do you remember the time
that she rented that kid train

1153
00:43:15,567 --> 00:43:16,500
to give rides around the store?

1154
00:43:16,633 --> 00:43:17,800
Yeah, or the time

1155
00:43:17,934 --> 00:43:19,200
she set up an ice rink
right out front?

1156
00:43:20,834 --> 00:43:22,166
Well, if it's a matter

1157
00:43:22,300 --> 00:43:23,333
of needing
an extra pair of hands,

1158
00:43:23,467 --> 00:43:24,433
I can help you.

1159
00:43:25,467 --> 00:43:26,800
We'll spruce up the store
Pearl-style!

1160
00:43:26,934 --> 00:43:28,033
We?

1161
00:43:28,166 --> 00:43:30,433
Oh, I'd love to be part of
the Pine Grove magic

1162
00:43:30,567 --> 00:43:31,934
and experience it all
first-hand.

1163
00:43:33,300 --> 00:43:34,266
I'm sure there are

1164
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:35,533
some great decorations
around here.

1165
00:43:35,667 --> 00:43:37,500
Yeah. Sounds good to me.

1166
00:43:37,633 --> 00:43:38,600
I don't know.

1167
00:43:38,734 --> 00:43:39,967
I mean, Grandma set the bar
pretty high.

1168
00:43:40,100 --> 00:43:42,166
It seems daunting.

1169
00:43:42,300 --> 00:43:43,834
So then in every decision,

1170
00:43:43,967 --> 00:43:45,867
we just have to ask ourselves
what would Pearl do?

1171
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:46,867
There you go.

1172
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:48,100
Come on.

1173
00:43:49,567 --> 00:43:50,533
It's in your DNA.

1174
00:43:50,667 --> 00:43:53,266
You know, you are
the most effectual person

1175
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:54,266
I have ever met.

1176
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:55,367
Is that a yes?

1177
00:43:57,400 --> 00:43:58,266
Yes!

1178
00:43:58,400 --> 00:43:59,800
Yes...

1179
00:44:01,066 --> 00:44:02,033
All right.

1180
00:44:04,300 --> 00:44:06,033
You know, for someone who just
got an offer on the store,

1181
00:44:06,166 --> 00:44:07,433
Scott didn't seem that happy.

1182
00:44:07,567 --> 00:44:09,400
I think Scott blames himself
for the store not doing well.

1183
00:44:09,533 --> 00:44:10,400
He'd rather sell the place

1184
00:44:10,533 --> 00:44:11,734
than feel like
he failed Grandma.

1185
00:44:11,867 --> 00:44:12,734
He shouldn't feel like that.

1186
00:44:12,867 --> 00:44:15,200
Times change,
and a store like this

1187
00:44:15,333 --> 00:44:16,867
is difficult to sustain itself
this day in age.

1188
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:18,333
I know.

1189
00:44:18,467 --> 00:44:20,600
And I wasn't much help either.

1190
00:44:20,734 --> 00:44:22,200
I left town first chance I had.

1191
00:44:22,333 --> 00:44:23,867
I left Scott
to figure it all out on his own.

1192
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:25,300
Everyone has their own path.

1193
00:44:28,033 --> 00:44:28,900
What is that?

1194
00:44:29,033 --> 00:44:30,000
Wow.

1195
00:44:31,533 --> 00:44:33,533
We are going to rock
Monday night!

1196
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:37,533
Oh, come on!

1197
00:44:39,533 --> 00:44:42,100
My grandfather and I built this
when I was 7 years old.

1198
00:44:42,233 --> 00:44:44,567
I had drawn a picture
of Santa's sleigh,

1199
00:44:44,700 --> 00:44:48,367
and he said, "Hey, do you want
to make it come to life?"

1200
00:44:48,500 --> 00:44:51,333
-It's beautiful.
-Right?

1201
00:44:51,467 --> 00:44:53,567
Figure it could use
a coat of paint.

1202
00:44:53,700 --> 00:44:55,767
We could put it out front.

1203
00:44:55,900 --> 00:44:56,800
Think it will look really nice.

1204
00:44:56,934 --> 00:44:58,066
What do you say?
Want to give me a hand?

1205
00:44:58,200 --> 00:44:59,166
Of course.

1206
00:44:59,300 --> 00:45:00,400
All right.

1207
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:02,934
Oh.

1208
00:45:10,533 --> 00:45:12,066
-Michael.
-Yeah?

1209
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:13,700
What's this?

1210
00:45:17,900 --> 00:45:19,233
Initials.

1211
00:45:19,367 --> 00:45:20,333
Your grandparents.

1212
00:45:21,734 --> 00:45:22,633
I've never seen this before.

1213
00:45:22,767 --> 00:45:24,066
Huh.

1214
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:26,767
1949?

1215
00:45:26,900 --> 00:45:28,333
I've got to get this.
[takes a picture]

1216
00:45:35,433 --> 00:45:36,500
You know,
the last thing I want to do

1217
00:45:36,633 --> 00:45:37,800
is criticize
your painting ability,

1218
00:45:37,934 --> 00:45:40,033
but you're dripping a lot.

1219
00:45:45,033 --> 00:45:48,066
Okay, so the initials
in the cement said 1949.

1220
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:49,300
Uh-huh.

1221
00:45:49,433 --> 00:45:51,567
That means they started
laying the foundation

1222
00:45:51,700 --> 00:45:53,633
the year after they bought
the land for the store.

1223
00:45:53,767 --> 00:45:55,266
I guess, yeah.

1224
00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:58,000
I wonder what that means
in terms of our timeline?

1225
00:45:58,133 --> 00:46:00,333
Just that they waited a year
before they started construction

1226
00:46:00,467 --> 00:46:01,433
for some reason or another.

1227
00:46:03,533 --> 00:46:04,934
Hey, listen, I don't mean to be
a downer here,

1228
00:46:05,066 --> 00:46:06,066
but is there a chance

1229
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:08,000
that you're just reading
a tad far into everything?

1230
00:46:08,133 --> 00:46:10,333
I'm just gathering
all the information.

1231
00:46:10,467 --> 00:46:12,066
It's just I don't want you
to be disappointed

1232
00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:14,133
if there's no big mystery here.

1233
00:46:14,266 --> 00:46:15,233
You don't feel it?

1234
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:18,133
Feel what?

1235
00:46:18,266 --> 00:46:20,333
That there's more to all this.

1236
00:46:20,467 --> 00:46:21,834
I can feel it.

1237
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:24,367
Two people this in love,

1238
00:46:24,500 --> 00:46:26,467
they wouldn't just misplace
an item so special.

1239
00:46:27,767 --> 00:46:29,934
There's a reason
for all of it.

1240
00:46:32,266 --> 00:46:34,100
I think love can look
very different from the outside.

1241
00:46:36,266 --> 00:46:37,567
There's no real way
to know what happened.

1242
00:46:37,700 --> 00:46:39,166
I just...

1243
00:46:39,300 --> 00:46:40,433
I don't want to infer too much.

1244
00:46:43,100 --> 00:46:45,000
The way people inferred
about you and your ex?

1245
00:46:50,967 --> 00:46:54,000
You know, my ex came from
a property-development dynasty.

1246
00:46:56,467 --> 00:46:58,333
So everybody just assumed
I was with her to get ahead.

1247
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:00,800
But the simple truth is

1248
00:47:00,934 --> 00:47:02,567
that I fell in love

1249
00:47:02,700 --> 00:47:04,700
with the girl that I met
in my design class.

1250
00:47:06,734 --> 00:47:07,600
I had these ideas

1251
00:47:07,734 --> 00:47:09,133
for these
small-space living hubs

1252
00:47:09,266 --> 00:47:10,367
in the city,

1253
00:47:10,500 --> 00:47:12,400
and she had
all of this business experience.

1254
00:47:12,533 --> 00:47:14,066
So we joined forces,

1255
00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:15,567
and her parents invested,

1256
00:47:15,700 --> 00:47:17,033
and we created Upward Design.

1257
00:47:18,500 --> 00:47:19,800
We built something that was...

1258
00:47:21,166 --> 00:47:22,200
really special.

1259
00:47:22,333 --> 00:47:24,033
So what happened?

1260
00:47:24,166 --> 00:47:26,567
Well, despite
accepting my proposal,

1261
00:47:26,700 --> 00:47:28,700
I guess she didn't really feel
the same way I did.

1262
00:47:28,834 --> 00:47:30,033
She met somebody new.

1263
00:47:30,166 --> 00:47:31,400
Oh...

1264
00:47:31,533 --> 00:47:33,867
She said she had to follow
her heart,

1265
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:35,233
but wanted to remain
business partners

1266
00:47:35,367 --> 00:47:36,967
because, you know,
we had such a great thing going,

1267
00:47:37,100 --> 00:47:38,200
but I just--I couldn't,

1268
00:47:38,333 --> 00:47:40,467
I couldn't bring myself
to do that,

1269
00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:42,233
so...

1270
00:47:43,367 --> 00:47:44,934
I walked away.

1271
00:47:45,066 --> 00:47:46,033
That sounds awful.

1272
00:47:47,166 --> 00:47:48,533
I'm so sorry.

1273
00:47:49,734 --> 00:47:52,367
Yeah. Listen...

1274
00:47:52,500 --> 00:47:57,300
Taking this deep dive
into my grandparents' love,

1275
00:47:57,433 --> 00:47:58,967
I think part of me
is just scared

1276
00:47:59,100 --> 00:48:01,333
that you're gonna
uncover something

1277
00:48:01,467 --> 00:48:02,367
that's gonna make me doubt

1278
00:48:02,500 --> 00:48:03,800
the strength
of their relationship.

1279
00:48:03,934 --> 00:48:06,800
Whatever I uncover or learn,

1280
00:48:06,934 --> 00:48:07,867
it doesn't change the fact

1281
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:09,266
that they clearly
loved each other.

1282
00:48:10,767 --> 00:48:11,900
And you.

1283

1285
00:48:19,967 --> 00:48:21,266
Hi, Kendra.

1286
00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:22,633
I found something

1287
00:48:22,767 --> 00:48:25,533
you might find
very interesting.

1288
00:48:25,667 --> 00:48:26,633
I'll be right there.

1289
00:48:28,967 --> 00:48:30,734
Paul has some information
on the ring.

1290
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:34,100
Do you want to come with me?

1291
00:48:34,233 --> 00:48:35,867
You think there's a reason
for all this?

1292
00:48:37,633 --> 00:48:38,533
Let's go see if you're right.

1293
00:48:38,667 --> 00:48:40,100
Let's.

1294
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:45,900
[Paul] I was looking through
my grandfather's old records,

1295
00:48:46,033 --> 00:48:47,867
hoping to find something
to help you with your search,

1296
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:50,467
when I found this note

1297
00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:53,367
written by William
to my grandfather, Carl.

1298
00:48:53,500 --> 00:48:54,800
Wow.

1299
00:48:54,934 --> 00:48:56,300
"Carl,

1300
00:48:56,433 --> 00:48:57,433
I was thinking more about

1301
00:48:57,567 --> 00:48:58,700
the engagement ring
we discussed.

1302
00:48:58,834 --> 00:48:59,867
This is what I was envisioning."

1303
00:49:03,300 --> 00:49:04,200
"Pearl's parents

1304
00:49:04,333 --> 00:49:05,700
are talking about sending her

1305
00:49:05,834 --> 00:49:08,633
to live with her aunt
in St. Louis after the New Year.

1306
00:49:10,700 --> 00:49:13,266
Do you think the ring
could be ready by Christmas Eve?

1307
00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:14,333
It seems building my store

1308
00:49:14,467 --> 00:49:16,266
will have to wait
a little longer.

1309
00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:17,700
Can't lose my girl!

1310
00:49:17,834 --> 00:49:18,700
W."

1311
00:49:18,834 --> 00:49:19,867
See! Pearl's parents

1312
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:21,600
didn't approve
of her dating William.

1313
00:49:21,734 --> 00:49:23,166
They were going
to send her away,

1314
00:49:23,300 --> 00:49:24,867
so he had to propose
sooner than he thought.

1315
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:25,967
And the money

1316
00:49:26,100 --> 00:49:27,433
he was going to spend
building the store...

1317
00:49:27,567 --> 00:49:28,433
He spent on the ring.

1318
00:49:28,567 --> 00:49:30,433
That's why he had to wait
to break ground.

1319
00:49:30,567 --> 00:49:32,066
He put his dreams on hold

1320
00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:33,867
so he wouldn't lose
your grandma.

1321
00:49:35,967 --> 00:49:37,300
He was a smart guy.

1322
00:49:38,667 --> 00:49:40,934
[Kendra] Oh, I am loving
these retro ornaments.

1323
00:49:41,066 --> 00:49:43,567
They're absolutely stunning.

1324
00:49:43,700 --> 00:49:44,834
Speaking of retro,

1325
00:49:44,967 --> 00:49:46,433
I can't believe
Grandma kept this.

1326
00:49:46,567 --> 00:49:47,767
Of course she did.
They're beauti--

1327
00:49:47,900 --> 00:49:50,867
Wait, what is that?

1328
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:53,400
This is an ornament
that I made in...

1329
00:49:53,533 --> 00:49:54,667
first grade.

1330
00:49:54,800 --> 00:49:57,667
Right, but what was it
supposed to look like?

1331
00:49:57,800 --> 00:49:59,033
You can't tell?

1332
00:49:59,166 --> 00:50:00,033
Mm-mm.

1333
00:50:00,166 --> 00:50:01,867
It's a...

1334
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:03,667
-It's a snowflake?
-Oh.

1335
00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:05,667
-It's abstract.
-Like the elf.

1336
00:50:07,333 --> 00:50:08,867
It's so sweet that she kept it.

1337
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:11,533
Clearly,
Grandma was sentimental.

1338
00:50:11,667 --> 00:50:14,100
So then why wouldn't she keep
her engagement ring?

1339
00:50:14,233 --> 00:50:16,033
The one William spent
his life savings on?

1340
00:50:17,633 --> 00:50:18,967
Popsicle ornament
for your thoughts?

1341
00:50:20,633 --> 00:50:21,700
Okay...

1342
00:50:21,834 --> 00:50:23,333
After William bought the land
for the store,

1343
00:50:23,467 --> 00:50:24,734
he spent the rest of his money
on the ring,

1344
00:50:24,867 --> 00:50:26,467
that's why he had to go back
to work on the railroad.

1345
00:50:26,600 --> 00:50:27,500
Sure.

1346
00:50:27,633 --> 00:50:29,900
But the initials in the cement
say 1949,

1347
00:50:30,033 --> 00:50:31,433
so how did he get enough money

1348
00:50:31,567 --> 00:50:34,033
to start building the store
only a year later?

1349
00:50:34,166 --> 00:50:36,100
Based on those pay stubs,
he wasn't making that much.

1350
00:50:36,233 --> 00:50:37,867
You really are way too talented

1351
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:39,633
to just be writing
lists and quizzes.

1352
00:50:41,500 --> 00:50:43,300
It's always nice
when someone has faith in you.

1353
00:50:47,500 --> 00:50:49,734
Not too shabby.

1354
00:50:49,867 --> 00:50:51,734
I think Pearl would be proud.

1355
00:50:51,867 --> 00:50:54,433
I wish my parents
were here for this.

1356
00:50:54,567 --> 00:50:56,033
My mom would have loved
Pine Grove.

1357
00:50:57,900 --> 00:50:59,734
You know, even though you were
looking for your mom's ring,

1358
00:50:59,867 --> 00:51:01,567
I'm really happy
that you found my Grandma's.

1359
00:51:03,567 --> 00:51:04,533

1365
00:51:15,100 --> 00:51:16,133
Just checking in.

1366
00:51:16,266 --> 00:51:17,166
I haven't seen

1367
00:51:17,300 --> 00:51:18,567
any drafts from you yet.

1368
00:51:18,700 --> 00:51:21,233
I'm still piecing it
all together.

1369
00:51:21,367 --> 00:51:22,800
It turns out William bought
the ring for Pearl

1370
00:51:22,934 --> 00:51:24,000
so he wouldn't lose her,

1371
00:51:24,133 --> 00:51:25,967
even though it meant
putting his dreams on hold.

1372
00:51:26,100 --> 00:51:27,166
Okay, and Michael?

1373
00:51:27,300 --> 00:51:28,500
Have you had a chance
to interview him?

1374
00:51:28,633 --> 00:51:29,600
Oh...

1375
00:51:29,734 --> 00:51:30,734
I've been focusing

1376
00:51:30,867 --> 00:51:32,800
more on the grandparents
and the ring first.

1377
00:51:32,934 --> 00:51:34,500
I trust
you'll cover everything.

1378
00:51:34,633 --> 00:51:35,734
Will you send me
what you have so far?

1379
00:51:35,867 --> 00:51:37,000
Well, it's pretty rough,

in three days.

00:51:41,734 --> 00:51:42,767
I need to see your progress.

1383
00:51:42,900 --> 00:51:44,066
Now, don't let me down.

1384
00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:46,100
Okay.

1385
00:51:46,233 --> 00:51:47,734
I will send you what I have.

1386
00:51:47,867 --> 00:51:49,033
Thank you.
Gotta go, talk soon.

1387
00:51:57,467 --> 00:51:58,600
A human-interest piece

1388
00:51:58,734 --> 00:52:01,166
is supposed to be
an emotional, relatable story,

1389
00:52:01,300 --> 00:52:03,200
not spilling the gossip
on someone's break-up.

1390
00:52:03,333 --> 00:52:05,300
I know that,
and you know that.

1391
00:52:05,433 --> 00:52:07,633
You just need to show Linda that
through your writing.

1392
00:52:07,767 --> 00:52:09,066
I really feel like

1393
00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:11,233
if she would just let me finish
the path I'm on,

1394
00:52:11,367 --> 00:52:13,867
it could be
a really meaningful article.

1395
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:16,033
Do you think you'll have
everything you need by Thursday?

1396
00:52:16,166 --> 00:52:18,233
Honestly, I don't know.

1397
00:52:18,367 --> 00:52:20,000
What happened to the ring
is still a mystery.

1398
00:52:20,133 --> 00:52:22,166
If anyone can figure it out,
it's you.

1399
00:52:22,300 --> 00:52:23,900
Thanks.

1400
00:52:24,033 --> 00:52:25,467
Michael's been
a huge help, too.

1401
00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:27,033
I don't know
what I'd do without him.

1402
00:52:27,166 --> 00:52:28,900
He seems like a great guy.

1403
00:52:29,033 --> 00:52:30,900
You know, I wasn't sure
at first,

1404
00:52:31,033 --> 00:52:32,734
but he's since surprised me.

1405
00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:35,633
He even suggested

1406
00:52:35,767 --> 00:52:37,800
that I should start
my own online magazine.

1407
00:52:37,934 --> 00:52:39,867
Did he now?

1408
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:42,066
Oh, no, no, no,
it's not like that.

00:52:44,467 --> 00:52:45,500
is blinding.

1412
00:52:45,633 --> 00:52:47,700
Is the connection bad?

1413
00:52:47,834 --> 00:52:48,900
Because you're a little blurry.

1414
00:52:49,033 --> 00:52:50,633
I should go.

1415
00:52:50,767 --> 00:52:52,400
I'm not letting you
get away with it that easily.

1416
00:52:52,533 --> 00:52:53,633
You totally have a crush.

1417
00:52:53,767 --> 00:52:55,734
I should get back
to writing, okay?

1418
00:52:55,867 --> 00:52:57,100
Okay, bye!

Paul had some extra lights

1423
00:53:06,166 --> 00:53:07,100
and I thought we could

1424
00:53:07,233 --> 00:53:08,800
put them on the sleigh
for tonight.

1425
00:53:11,700 --> 00:53:13,133
Is everything okay?

1426
00:53:14,200 --> 00:53:15,166
Yeah.

The guy who put in
the offer on the store

1428
00:53:18,033 --> 00:53:19,166
just came by.

1429
00:53:19,300 --> 00:53:21,033
I was all excited to show him
these original blueprints,

1430
00:53:21,166 --> 00:53:22,767
but...

1431
00:53:22,900 --> 00:53:25,300
he said they're just gonna
tear down the store...

1433

That's a big change.

1434
00:53:29,266 --> 00:53:30,133
I mean, don't get me wrong,

1435
00:53:30,266 --> 00:53:31,367
the place is in need
of a change,

1436
00:53:31,500 --> 00:53:33,133
but...

1437
00:53:33,266 --> 00:53:34,533
you know,

1438
00:53:34,667 --> 00:53:37,066
I think there's better ways
to maximize the space.

1439
00:53:37,200 --> 00:53:38,066
You see this wall?

1440
00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:39,900
Mm-hmm...

1441
00:53:40,033 --> 00:53:42,100
He could knock this down,

1442
00:53:42,233 --> 00:53:43,633
just open
this whole space outward.

1443
00:53:45,500 --> 00:53:46,700
And see this
on the blueprints?

1444
00:53:49,100 --> 00:53:50,900
Originally, my grandpa wanted
to put in a loft,

1445
00:53:51,033 --> 00:53:53,567
with books and chairs,

1446
00:53:53,700 --> 00:53:55,033
some place for people
to sit and read.

1447
00:53:56,200 --> 00:53:57,633
Apparently, he didn't have
the room for it,

1448
00:53:57,767 --> 00:53:59,900
but one thing I did
at Upward Design

1449
00:54:00,100 --> 00:54:01,967
was make the most
out of small areas.

1450
00:54:04,467 --> 00:54:07,166
We could move these beams,
make the ceiling higher

1451
00:54:07,300 --> 00:54:09,367
put in
that loft-slash-library-cafe.

1452
00:54:09,500 --> 00:54:10,934
If we rewire through here,

1453
00:54:11,066 --> 00:54:12,533
we could actually make it
a computer lounge.

1454
00:54:12,667 --> 00:54:14,300
And look at this!
See this?

1455
00:54:14,433 --> 00:54:15,700
This over here--

1456
00:54:15,834 --> 00:54:17,100
this used to be
a soda-fountain counter.

1457
00:54:17,233 --> 00:54:18,867
They tore it down
for more shelving,

1458
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:21,533
but Scott doesn't need
the retail space.

1459
00:54:21,667 --> 00:54:23,066
We could rebuild
using these plans.

1460
00:54:24,800 --> 00:54:25,767
Make it a WiFi hotspot.

1461
00:54:25,900 --> 00:54:27,767
Sounds like
you're having second thoughts.

1462
00:54:27,900 --> 00:54:30,133
My grandfather wanted this
to be more than just a store.

1463
00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:35,367
He wanted it to be a place
where people came together.

1464
00:54:35,500 --> 00:54:37,200
Have you talked to Scott
about this?

1465
00:54:37,333 --> 00:54:38,433
I don't know
if he'd be interested.

1466
00:54:38,567 --> 00:54:39,567
You're his brother.

1467
00:54:39,700 --> 00:54:41,867
I'm sure he'd want to hear
what you have to say.

1468
00:54:45,433 --> 00:54:49,633
[♪♪]

1469
00:54:58,967 --> 00:55:00,667
You got it working!

1470
00:55:00,800 --> 00:55:03,200
Thought I'd transport us
to a different time.

1471
00:55:03,333 --> 00:55:04,367
Oh! Wait!

1472
00:55:04,500 --> 00:55:05,667
Oh, hold on.

1473
00:55:08,400 --> 00:55:09,367
It's perfect.

1474
00:55:10,667 --> 00:55:11,567
The past meets the present.

1475
00:55:11,700 --> 00:55:14,066
Pearl and William
would be so proud.

1476
00:55:14,200 --> 00:55:15,900
[Michael] I think they'd love
what we did to the store.

1477
00:55:16,033 --> 00:55:17,000
[Kendra] I hope so.

1478
00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:19,667
They both had
such a great sense of style.

1479
00:55:21,300 --> 00:55:23,100
Do you just carry that
around with you everywhere now?

1480
00:55:24,834 --> 00:55:25,700
It's part of my job.

1481
00:55:25,834 --> 00:55:26,734
Your job.

1482
00:55:26,867 --> 00:55:28,367
That's right.

1483
00:55:28,500 --> 00:55:30,900
You know, I keep forgetting this
is a work assignment for you.

1484
00:55:31,033 --> 00:55:32,600
I mean, yeah, it's work, but...

1485
00:55:32,734 --> 00:55:33,700
I care about this story.

1486
00:55:35,133 --> 00:55:38,033
After all, I'm putting
my job on the line for it.

1487
00:55:38,166 --> 00:55:40,500
-[door opening]
-[Trish] Hi. Hot chocolate?

1488
00:55:40,633 --> 00:55:42,400
-[Kendra] Yes, please.
-[Michael] Thank you.

1489
00:55:42,533 --> 00:55:43,667
Thank you so much.

1490
00:55:43,800 --> 00:55:45,500
The store looks
better than ever.

1491
00:55:45,633 --> 00:55:47,166
I'm so glad we did this.

1492
00:55:47,300 --> 00:55:48,767
I'm so glad
Kendra made us do it.

1493
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:51,266
-Cheers.
-Cheers.

1494
00:55:51,400 --> 00:55:52,667
Oh, Trish,

1495
00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:53,667
that reminds me,

1496
00:55:53,800 --> 00:55:54,700
I wanted to ask you something.

1497
00:55:54,834 --> 00:55:55,734
Is there a way to get a list

1498
00:55:55,867 --> 00:55:57,033
of banks and lenders

1499
00:55:57,166 --> 00:55:58,734
that have been in Pine Grove
over the years?

1500
00:55:58,867 --> 00:56:01,166
Specifically ones around 1949?

1501
00:56:01,300 --> 00:56:02,800
I can ask at the newspaper.

1502
00:56:02,934 --> 00:56:04,467
I'm sure
those records exist. Why?

1503
00:56:04,600 --> 00:56:06,300
William broke ground
on the property

1504
00:56:06,433 --> 00:56:08,233
the same year he went back
to work for the railroad

1505
00:56:08,367 --> 00:56:10,667
because he spent all his money
on the ring,

1506
00:56:10,800 --> 00:56:12,300
so where did the money come from

1507
00:56:12,433 --> 00:56:14,500
to start building the store?

1508
00:56:14,633 --> 00:56:16,233
So you think
he took out a loan?

1509
00:56:16,367 --> 00:56:18,233
But the only people
who could have afforded that

1510
00:56:18,367 --> 00:56:19,433
would have been Pearl's parents,

1511
00:56:19,567 --> 00:56:20,967
and they weren't on board
with the marriage,

1512
00:56:21,100 --> 00:56:22,567
so I figured he'd had
to have looked elsewhere.

1513
00:56:22,700 --> 00:56:23,667
Right.

1514
00:56:23,800 --> 00:56:24,967
Well, I'll ask
first thing tomorrow.

1515
00:56:25,100 --> 00:56:26,433
That would be great.

1516
00:56:26,567 --> 00:56:29,600
Okay, now I am going to get us
some of Paul's Christmas cookies

1517
00:56:29,734 --> 00:56:30,600
before they sell out.

1518
00:56:30,734 --> 00:56:32,133
My treat.

1519
00:56:32,266 --> 00:56:33,233
You'd better make it quick.

1520
00:56:39,233 --> 00:56:40,200
[Trish clears her throat]

1521
00:56:41,867 --> 00:56:42,734
What?

1522
00:56:42,867 --> 00:56:43,934
Nothing.

1523
00:56:44,066 --> 00:56:45,266
I just haven't seen you
smile this much

1524
00:56:45,400 --> 00:56:46,367
in a very long time.

1525
00:56:47,533 --> 00:56:48,600
-It's Christmas.
-[Scott] Right.

1526
00:56:48,734 --> 00:56:49,600
Wasn't it a few weeks ago

1527
00:56:49,734 --> 00:56:50,767
you were saying

1528
00:56:50,900 --> 00:56:52,767
you couldn't wait
to get through the holidays?

1529
00:56:52,900 --> 00:56:54,300
You know what--

1530
00:56:54,433 --> 00:56:56,400
I am learning to appreciate
everything they have to offer.

1531
00:56:56,533 --> 00:56:58,166
Well, I think you should
learn to appreciate

1532
00:56:58,300 --> 00:56:59,967
asking Kendra
to the Christmas Eve dance.

1533
00:57:00,166 --> 00:57:01,200
I think that's a terrible idea.

1534
00:57:01,333 --> 00:57:02,467
Why not?
You like her.

1535
00:57:02,600 --> 00:57:04,633
Yeah. Liking her
isn't the issue.

1536
00:57:04,767 --> 00:57:05,667
He admits it!

1537
00:57:05,800 --> 00:57:07,133
Then what is the issue?

1538
00:57:07,266 --> 00:57:08,367
Okay, look,

1539
00:57:08,500 --> 00:57:10,333
not everybody can be as lucky
as you two, okay?

1540
00:57:10,467 --> 00:57:13,166
Or Grandma and Grandpa.

1541
00:57:13,300 --> 00:57:14,166
Actually...

1542
00:57:14,300 --> 00:57:16,533
yes, they we can.

1543
00:57:16,667 --> 00:57:18,066
How will you know
unless you try?

1544
00:57:24,333 --> 00:57:25,734
[Kendra]
Thank you for the ride.

1545
00:57:25,867 --> 00:57:27,166
Thank you for the fun night.

1546
00:57:27,300 --> 00:57:28,633
[sighs happily]

1547
00:57:30,133 --> 00:57:31,233
It's sure going to be
a change of pace

1548
00:57:31,367 --> 00:57:32,300
going back to Boston

1549
00:57:32,433 --> 00:57:34,133
after being in a town
like Pine Grove.

1550
00:57:34,266 --> 00:57:36,467
Well, you know,
maybe if the article is a hit,

1551
00:57:36,600 --> 00:57:40,467
you could find more
human-interest stories here.

1552
00:57:40,600 --> 00:57:41,533
I think we have

1553
00:57:41,667 --> 00:57:43,700
the highest number
of maple trees

1554
00:57:43,834 --> 00:57:44,834
outside of Vermont.

1555
00:57:44,967 --> 00:57:46,500
Oh, yeah,

1556
00:57:46,633 --> 00:57:48,166
my boss is gonna love
the click potentials

1557
00:57:48,300 --> 00:57:49,166
with that headline.

1558
00:57:49,300 --> 00:57:50,800
You never know,

1559
00:57:50,934 --> 00:57:53,533
she's letting you
write about a ring, right?

1560
00:57:53,667 --> 00:57:54,867
Um, actually...

1561
00:57:55,000 --> 00:57:56,100
It's funny
you should mention that

1562
00:57:56,233 --> 00:57:57,500
because there's something
I wanted to--

1563
00:57:57,633 --> 00:57:58,633
[Michael] Look.

1564
00:57:58,767 --> 00:57:59,633
[Kendra] What?

1565
00:57:59,767 --> 00:58:01,233
It's a shooting star.

1566
00:58:03,033 --> 00:58:05,266
Oh...

1567
00:58:05,400 --> 00:58:06,700
I missed it.

1568
00:58:09,700 --> 00:58:10,667
We should make a wish.

1569
00:58:12,567 --> 00:58:13,533
[Kendra] Okay.

1570
00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:30,834
[♪♪]

1571
00:58:34,100 --> 00:58:34,967
I should go.

1572
00:58:35,100 --> 00:58:36,467
Yeah.

1573
00:58:36,600 --> 00:58:39,033
Because, technically,
I'm still on the clock.

1574
00:58:39,166 --> 00:58:40,233
Okay.

1575
00:58:40,367 --> 00:58:41,467
-Yeah.
-Yeah.

1576
00:58:41,600 --> 00:58:42,567
-Goodnight.
-Goodnight.

1577
00:58:50,367 --> 00:58:52,000
So there was only one bank
in town at the time,

1578
00:58:52,133 --> 00:58:53,800
but they didn't have
a loan record in William's name.

1579
00:58:53,934 --> 00:58:54,900
Oh...

1580
00:58:55,033 --> 00:58:56,633
But I did find an old directory

1581
00:58:56,767 --> 00:58:58,767
that listed a company
on the edge of town

1582
00:58:58,900 --> 00:59:00,467
called Barney's Loans and Bonds.

1583
00:59:00,600 --> 00:59:02,000
Anything there?

1584
00:59:02,133 --> 00:59:03,266
Well, they closed in the '60s,

1585
00:59:03,400 --> 00:59:05,166
and because they were
a private-lending company,

1586
00:59:05,300 --> 00:59:06,266
there's no public records.

1587
00:59:06,400 --> 00:59:07,500
Hmm.

1588
00:59:07,633 --> 00:59:08,667
I wonder
if their private records

1589
00:59:08,800 --> 00:59:10,967
even still exist?

1590
00:59:11,100 --> 00:59:12,600
Well, they were bought out
by Star Credit Union,

1591
00:59:12,734 --> 00:59:13,700
so there's a possibility

1592
00:59:13,834 --> 00:59:15,233
they might have
some information.

1593
00:59:16,734 --> 00:59:17,967
Thank you so much
for all of this.

1594
00:59:18,100 --> 00:59:19,433
I'm happy to help.

1595
00:59:19,567 --> 00:59:21,800
I feel like
we're getting closer.

1596
00:59:21,934 --> 00:59:23,200
Me too.

1597
00:59:25,100 --> 00:59:26,066
Boys.

1598
00:59:28,433 --> 00:59:29,967
What is this?

1599
00:59:30,100 --> 00:59:31,900
Well, Michael and I started
looking through the storage

1600
00:59:32,033 --> 00:59:32,967
to find you some more

1601
00:59:33,100 --> 00:59:34,700
of those retro
Christmas ornaments you like,

1602
00:59:34,834 --> 00:59:35,867
and we actually found

1603
00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:37,567
some really great photos
of the store over the years.

1604
00:59:37,700 --> 00:59:39,033
Yeah, you know,
besides the soda fountain,

1605
00:59:39,166 --> 00:59:41,633
this place really hasn't changed
that much since it opened.

1606
00:59:41,767 --> 00:59:43,033
The prices sure have changed.

1607
00:59:43,166 --> 00:59:46,000
Well, everything could use
a good makeover once in a while.

1608

where to start

for repurposing the space.

1613

You should tell Scott.

-Oh, yeah?
-Uh, yeah.

1615
01:00:00,233 --> 01:00:01,467
Just, you know,

1616

some ideas inspired by
Grandpa's original blueprints.

1617
01:00:03,567 --> 01:00:05,734
But, listen, you know the store
better than anybody else,

1618
01:00:05,867 --> 01:00:07,000
so if you think
it makes sense to sell,

1619
01:00:07,133 --> 01:00:08,200
then that's
what we're going to do.

1620
01:00:08,333 --> 01:00:09,600
Maybe your ideas make sense.

Grandpa's original vision
for the store

as a community hotspot.

1631
01:00:22,934 --> 01:00:24,533

Christmas fashion.

Okay, I'll post it
on the newspaper's site--

1639

Okay, I guess we're doing this.

a favorite cookie recipe

still have the recipe?

Yeah, I think
it's in the kitchen somewhere.

This is it--

"Pearl's Peppermint
Whoopie Pie."

gave that to her.

William to marry Pearl,

[Linda] That's all great,

1786
01:05:51,200 --> 01:05:52,633
but I know that
Michael and Sandra's break-up

1787
01:05:52,767 --> 01:05:53,834
is the hook for our readers,

1788
01:05:53,967 --> 01:05:55,667
and you have enough of his story
to focus more on that.

1789
01:05:55,800 --> 01:05:57,000
I know you think

1790
01:05:57,133 --> 01:05:58,567
our readers want to hear about
bad break-ups,

1791
01:05:58,700 --> 01:06:00,333
but I think that they'll also
want to read a story

1792
01:06:00,467 --> 01:06:02,000
about family and love

1793
01:06:02,133 --> 01:06:04,333
and a ring
that brought people together.

1794
01:06:04,467 --> 01:06:06,066
You are a great writer.

1795
01:06:06,200 --> 01:06:08,400
I know you can figure out
how to include both.

1796
01:06:08,533 --> 01:06:09,633
You get
your human-interest piece,

1797
01:06:09,767 --> 01:06:10,700
I get my clicks.

1798
01:06:10,834 --> 01:06:13,266
Kendra, I let you
follow this story,

1799
01:06:13,400 --> 01:06:14,834
and I want to publish it.

1800
01:06:14,967 --> 01:06:17,000
Can't you just
be happy about that?

1801
01:06:17,133 --> 01:06:19,600
Now, work on making Michael
the focal point.

1802
01:06:19,734 --> 01:06:21,333
how his failed engagement
is in juxtaposition

1803
01:06:21,467 --> 01:06:23,000
with his grandparents' love.

1804
01:06:23,133 --> 01:06:24,166
That's the interesting part.

1805
01:06:24,300 --> 01:06:25,367
Good luck.

1806
01:06:29,433 --> 01:06:33,500
[♪♪]

1807
01:06:37,266 --> 01:06:38,800
[Kendra]
Thanks for coming here with me.

1808
01:06:38,934 --> 01:06:41,433
[Michael] Why do you think
a jewelry dealer in Willow Brook

1809
01:06:41,567 --> 01:06:42,767
is going to know something?

1810
01:06:44,233 --> 01:06:46,333
Okay, every picture of Pearl
had her wearing the ring

1811
01:06:46,467 --> 01:06:48,166
until 1954.

1812
01:06:48,300 --> 01:06:49,400
Now, that was
around the same time

1813
01:06:49,533 --> 01:06:50,834
the loan was due.

1814
01:06:50,967 --> 01:06:53,266
I asked Paul,
did he think

1815
01:06:53,400 --> 01:06:55,734
that Pearl or William
ever sold the ring back to Carl.

1816
01:06:55,867 --> 01:06:57,900
He said his grandfather
never bought jewelry back,

1817
01:06:58,033 --> 01:07:00,433
but he referred people
to a dealer here.

1818
01:07:01,667 --> 01:07:02,800
It shouldn't be much further.

1819
01:07:04,500 --> 01:07:05,900
I don't think
Scott should sell the store.

1820
01:07:08,500 --> 01:07:09,767
Seeing the place
all decorated again,

1821
01:07:09,900 --> 01:07:11,533
and seeing what it's like
when people gather there,

1822
01:07:11,667 --> 01:07:13,734
talking about all these amazing
things we could do to
the place--

1823
01:07:13,867 --> 01:07:15,033
I kind of feel like...

1824
01:07:15,166 --> 01:07:16,834
I don't know, I feel like
maybe we gave up too soon.

1825
01:07:18,100 --> 01:07:19,133
Well, I hope
me doing this article

1826
01:07:19,266 --> 01:07:21,300
hasn't thrown
a wrench in anything.

1827
01:07:21,433 --> 01:07:23,367
Are you kidding?

1828
01:07:23,500 --> 01:07:25,367
You writing this article
was a good thing.

1829
01:07:25,500 --> 01:07:27,166
I mean, I've never felt
this close to my grandparents

1830
01:07:27,300 --> 01:07:28,867
or to Scott.

1831
01:07:29,000 --> 01:07:30,967
Um, speaking of this article,

1832
01:07:31,100 --> 01:07:34,066
there's something
I need to talk to you about.

1833
01:07:34,200 --> 01:07:35,066
Okay.

1834
01:07:35,200 --> 01:07:36,500
Okay...

1835
01:07:36,633 --> 01:07:38,867
Um...

1836
01:07:39,000 --> 01:07:41,967
I promise this article
is not going to be about you,

1837
01:07:42,100 --> 01:07:44,467
but I might
have to use your name.

1838
01:07:45,967 --> 01:07:49,166
You've been such a big part
of my experience here,

1839
01:07:49,300 --> 01:07:51,567
and it might be weird
if I used a pseudonym for you.

1840
01:07:53,033 --> 01:07:55,066
But I won't
if you're not okay with it.

1841
01:07:58,000 --> 01:08:00,367
No, it's okay.

1842
01:08:00,500 --> 01:08:01,367
I get it.

1843
01:08:01,500 --> 01:08:03,233
I mean, they're my grandparents.

1844
01:08:03,367 --> 01:08:04,467
It makes sense.

1845
01:08:05,500 --> 01:08:06,734
Just... you know,

1846
01:08:06,867 --> 01:08:10,133
maybe don't mention
that I'm "that" Michael Jones.

1847
01:08:10,266 --> 01:08:11,300
Right.

1848
01:08:11,433 --> 01:08:12,500
I'm just getting to that point

1849
01:08:12,633 --> 01:08:14,133
where I feel like I've put
all that all behind me.

1850
01:08:14,266 --> 01:08:15,700
Of course.

1851
01:08:15,834 --> 01:08:18,400
Thank you.

1852
01:08:18,533 --> 01:08:20,233
I think this might be it.

1853
01:08:20,367 --> 01:08:21,233
Oh.

1854
01:08:21,367 --> 01:08:22,233
Should we go take a look?

1855
01:08:22,367 --> 01:08:23,333
-Yeah.
-Okay.

1856
01:08:24,400 --> 01:08:26,033
Merry Christmas.

1857
01:08:26,166 --> 01:08:27,567
Can I help you find anything?

1858
01:08:27,700 --> 01:08:29,233
Hi. Um...

1859
01:08:29,367 --> 01:08:30,533
This may sound a little bizarre,

1860
01:08:30,667 --> 01:08:33,433
but I'm wondering
if this engagement ring I found

1861
01:08:33,567 --> 01:08:37,867
may have come through here
around 1954.

1862
01:08:38,000 --> 01:08:39,200
We definitely
don't have records

1863
01:08:39,333 --> 01:08:41,233
going back that far,

1864
01:08:41,367 --> 01:08:42,734
but my great uncle
has worked here forever.

1865
01:08:42,867 --> 01:08:43,734
Maybe he could help?

1866
01:08:43,867 --> 01:08:45,233
Is he here?

1867
01:08:45,367 --> 01:08:46,567
No, he's retired,

1868
01:08:46,700 --> 01:08:48,767
but he loves when I call him
from the store.

1869
01:08:48,900 --> 01:08:50,266
If you guys have a second?

1870
01:08:50,400 --> 01:08:51,900
Yeah, sure.
That would be great.

1871
01:08:54,734 --> 01:08:56,800
[phone rings]

1872
01:08:56,934 --> 01:08:59,533
Cady my dear,
you need help pricing an item?

1873
01:08:59,667 --> 01:09:00,600
No, actually,

1874
01:09:00,734 --> 01:09:01,600
there's this couple

1875
01:09:01,734 --> 01:09:03,000
who's got a question

1876
01:09:03,133 --> 01:09:04,433
about a ring
we may have bought

1877
01:09:04,567 --> 01:09:06,300
a long time ago?

1878
01:09:07,633 --> 01:09:08,967
Hi.

1879
01:09:09,100 --> 01:09:10,834
I'm trying to trace
the history of this ring,

1880
01:09:10,967 --> 01:09:12,100
and I wanted to know

1881
01:09:12,233 --> 01:09:13,800
if it was sold to you
in the early 1950s?

1882
01:09:13,934 --> 01:09:15,867
I know it's a long shot,

1883
01:09:16,000 --> 01:09:17,934
but this one has
a very unique inscription.

1884
01:09:19,633 --> 01:09:21,934
"Forever My Christmas Love,
1948."

1885
01:09:23,400 --> 01:09:24,567
You found it!

1886
01:09:26,467 --> 01:09:28,967
I've been keeping my eyes
peeled for that ring for years!

1887
01:09:29,100 --> 01:09:29,967
A woman came in--

1888
01:09:30,100 --> 01:09:31,000
gosh,

1889
01:09:31,133 --> 01:09:34,800
must have been 65 years ago.

1890
01:09:34,934 --> 01:09:36,100
Said she had sold it to us

1891
01:09:36,233 --> 01:09:37,700
to keep
her husband's business afloat.

1892
01:09:39,133 --> 01:09:41,133
Broke my heart when I told her
it was already gone.

1893
01:09:41,266 --> 01:09:42,500
She must have come back for it

1894
01:09:42,633 --> 01:09:44,834
after the store
started doing well.

1895
01:09:44,967 --> 01:09:46,133
At different times
in their lives,

1896
01:09:46,266 --> 01:09:48,266
they both sacrificed
what was most important to them

1897
01:09:48,400 --> 01:09:49,500
for their love.

1898
01:09:49,633 --> 01:09:51,367
They knew that being together,

1899
01:09:51,500 --> 01:09:53,633
following their dreams,

1900
01:09:53,767 --> 01:09:54,934
meant more than a ring.

1901
01:10:02,900 --> 01:10:04,033
Oh, looking good, bro.

1902
01:10:07,266 --> 01:10:08,900
I don't think we should sell.

1903
01:10:09,033 --> 01:10:10,033
You don't?

1904
01:10:10,166 --> 01:10:12,266
I've been thinking a lot
about your ideas,

1905
01:10:12,400 --> 01:10:14,233
and you're right,

1906
01:10:14,367 --> 01:10:15,533
with some changes,

1907
01:10:15,667 --> 01:10:16,800
this store
could be viable again.

1908
01:10:16,934 --> 01:10:18,100
I mean, Grandma and Grandpa

1909
01:10:18,233 --> 01:10:19,734
put so much of themselves
into this place.

1910
01:10:19,867 --> 01:10:22,266
They left it behind for us.

1911
01:10:22,400 --> 01:10:25,233
Selling would kind of feel like
losing them all over again.

1912
01:10:25,367 --> 01:10:26,700
I agree.

1913
01:10:26,834 --> 01:10:28,667
I think this place could
really be something unique.

1914
01:10:28,800 --> 01:10:29,767
Listen, I'd love to show you

1915
01:10:29,900 --> 01:10:31,533
some of the modifications
I made to the blueprints.

1916
01:10:31,667 --> 01:10:33,133
-Yeah. Let's do it.
-[Michael] Yeah?

1917
01:10:33,266 --> 01:10:34,934
We just have to get to
the newspaper Christmas party.

1918
01:10:35,066 --> 01:10:35,934
Right.

1919
01:10:36,066 --> 01:10:36,934
We'll talk later?

1920
01:10:37,066 --> 01:10:38,500
I'm looking forward to it, bro.

1921
01:10:40,066 --> 01:10:40,967
-Me too.
-All right.

1922
01:10:41,100 --> 01:10:42,233
Bye.

1923
01:10:42,367 --> 01:10:43,667
-Bye.
-Bye.

1924
01:10:46,400 --> 01:10:48,133
Thank you.

1925
01:10:48,266 --> 01:10:49,300
-For what?
-For everything.

1926
01:10:49,433 --> 01:10:51,066
None of this would have
happened without you.

1927
01:10:52,367 --> 01:10:53,834
You really reconnected us
to our legacy.

1928
01:10:57,433 --> 01:10:58,400
What are you doing?

1929
01:10:58,533 --> 01:11:00,967
Well, with my article
being due tonight,

1930
01:11:01,100 --> 01:11:02,100
I want to be able to say

1931
01:11:02,233 --> 01:11:03,800
I returned the ring
to the family in the end.

1932
01:11:10,433 --> 01:11:11,800
Hey, um...

1933
01:11:13,266 --> 01:11:15,066
Would you like come to
the Christmas Eve dance with me?

1934
01:11:16,233 --> 01:11:17,300
I mean,
with the article finished,

1935
01:11:17,433 --> 01:11:18,367
I figure...

1936
01:11:18,500 --> 01:11:20,166
it wouldn't be
a conflict of interest anymore.

1937
01:11:22,166 --> 01:11:23,834
I would love to go with you.

1938
01:11:23,967 --> 01:11:25,867
-Great.
-Great.

1939
01:11:26,000 --> 01:11:27,767
Now, um...

1940
01:11:27,900 --> 01:11:29,200
-I'd better go finish writing.
-Uh, yeah.

1941
01:11:29,333 --> 01:11:30,333
Oh, yeah.
Thank you.

1942
01:11:30,467 --> 01:11:31,600
Bye.

1943
01:11:31,734 --> 01:11:32,800
Goodbye.

1945
01:11:41,000 --> 01:11:42,767
Hey.

1946
01:11:42,900 --> 01:11:44,100
Just calling
to see how it's going.

1947
01:11:44,233 --> 01:11:45,500
It's going.

1948
01:11:45,633 --> 01:11:47,600
I mean,
I have the perfect ending.

1949
01:11:47,734 --> 01:11:49,333
Are you doing
the article you want

1950
01:11:49,467 --> 01:11:51,300
or the one Linda wants?

1951
01:11:51,433 --> 01:11:54,033
I'm doing the article
on The Christmas Ring,

1952
01:11:54,166 --> 01:11:55,600
and what true love really takes.

1953
01:11:56,633 --> 01:11:58,200
-I admire you.
-Thanks.

1954
01:11:59,600 --> 01:12:01,200
I'm hoping the words
speak for themselves.

1955
01:12:01,333 --> 01:12:02,567
Can't wait to read it.

1956
01:12:02,700 --> 01:12:03,834
Talk soon.

1957
01:12:07,734 --> 01:12:08,600
[knocking on door]

1958
01:12:08,734 --> 01:12:10,166
Come in.

some nourishment.

1960
01:12:13,633 --> 01:12:15,000
You're too kind.

1961
01:12:16,467 --> 01:12:19,033
I'm so glad you found out
what happened to the ring.

1962
01:12:19,166 --> 01:12:20,934
And I'm sure Michael and Scott
are glad, too.

1963
01:12:21,066 --> 01:12:22,500
I'm glad I could return it.

1964
01:12:22,633 --> 01:12:23,667
Maybe someday,

1965
01:12:23,800 --> 01:12:25,000
somebody will find
your mom's ring

1966
01:12:25,133 --> 01:12:26,667
and they'll return it to you.

1967
01:12:26,800 --> 01:12:28,767
Maybe,

1968
01:12:28,900 --> 01:12:32,166
but I realized
I wanted the ring back so bad

1969
01:12:32,300 --> 01:12:33,467
because I wanted my mom back.

1970
01:12:34,667 --> 01:12:36,567
But the truth is,

1971
01:12:36,700 --> 01:12:39,567
I don't need a piece of jewelry
to have my mom with me.

1972
01:12:39,700 --> 01:12:42,000
As long as I hold her
in my heart and my memories,

1973
01:12:42,133 --> 01:12:43,867
she's always with me.

1974
01:12:44,000 --> 01:12:46,934
Maybe the search for it
was all I needed.

1975
01:12:47,066 --> 01:12:50,033
After all, it led me here
and it led me to--

1976
01:12:53,166 --> 01:12:54,433
The story.

1977
01:12:56,867 --> 01:12:58,500
Well, I'll let you
get back to it.

1978
01:13:03,367 --> 01:13:06,834
[♪♪]

1979
01:13:15,367 --> 01:13:16,333
[sighs]

1980
01:13:20,900 --> 01:13:22,333
[phone buzzes]

1981
01:13:33,533 --> 01:13:35,100
[Sarah] I'm so sorry, Kendra.

1982
01:13:35,233 --> 01:13:36,400
Linda ruined it.

1983
01:13:36,533 --> 01:13:38,000
Your version
was so much better.

1984
01:13:38,133 --> 01:13:39,100
Call me.

1985
01:13:46,934 --> 01:13:48,200
No, no, no, no, no.

1986
01:13:51,934 --> 01:13:53,467
This isn't my article.

1987
01:13:53,600 --> 01:13:56,066
Oh, no! This is all wrong!

1988
01:14:04,433 --> 01:14:08,000
[♪♪]

1989
01:14:09,367 --> 01:14:10,333
Michael.

1990
01:14:13,000 --> 01:14:13,867
You lied to me.

1991
01:14:14,000 --> 01:14:15,700
No.

1992
01:14:15,834 --> 01:14:18,333
Michael, my boss did this.

1993
01:14:18,467 --> 01:14:20,300
She took my words
and she twisted them.

1994
01:14:20,433 --> 01:14:21,734
You made me believe

1995
01:14:21,867 --> 01:14:23,834
that you were writing this story
about true love...

1996
01:14:25,033 --> 01:14:28,100
about how love
takes sacrifice and risk...

1997
01:14:29,800 --> 01:14:31,233
and instead, you used me.

1998
01:14:32,300 --> 01:14:33,500
You have to believe me.

1999
01:14:33,633 --> 01:14:35,300
This isn't what I wanted.

2000
01:14:35,433 --> 01:14:36,467
This isn't what I wrote.

2001
01:14:36,600 --> 01:14:37,967
You should leave.

2002
01:14:38,100 --> 01:14:39,467
Michael.

2003
01:14:40,867 --> 01:14:41,834
I need you to leave.

2004
01:14:43,934 --> 01:14:47,900
[♪♪]

2005
01:14:52,433 --> 01:14:53,367
Kendra!

2006
01:14:53,500 --> 01:14:55,800
You completely changed it.

2007
01:14:57,500 --> 01:14:58,533
I colored it up a bit,

2008
01:14:58,667 --> 01:15:00,200
but that's my job.

2009
01:15:00,333 --> 01:15:01,467
I'm your editor.

2010
01:15:01,600 --> 01:15:03,567
Your article is good,

2011
01:15:03,700 --> 01:15:05,133
but the heartbreak
of a man licking his wounds

2012
01:15:05,266 --> 01:15:06,367
after losing it all

2013
01:15:06,500 --> 01:15:07,800
to an ex who falls in love
with someone else

2014
01:15:07,934 --> 01:15:09,233
is way more juicy.

2015
01:15:09,367 --> 01:15:11,100
I told him it wasn't about him.

2016
01:15:11,233 --> 01:15:12,367
Well, it was
his grandma's ring,

2017
01:15:12,500 --> 01:15:13,700
he was part of the story
the whole time.

2018
01:15:13,834 --> 01:15:14,700
I'm sure he knew that.

2019
01:15:14,834 --> 01:15:15,734
No, he didn't.

2020
01:15:15,867 --> 01:15:16,800
I know you want to write

2021
01:15:16,934 --> 01:15:19,066
these articles
on the human experience

2022
01:15:19,200 --> 01:15:20,300
and meaningful moments,

2023
01:15:20,433 --> 01:15:23,633
but I want to sell ad space,

2024
01:15:23,767 --> 01:15:25,400
and that's where Quizzer is
at the moment.

2025
01:15:25,533 --> 01:15:27,066
Now, I gave you a chance,
it just didn't work.

2026
01:15:28,500 --> 01:15:29,900
You're right.

2027
01:15:30,033 --> 01:15:31,367
Well, good, I'm glad
we're on the same page.

2028
01:15:31,500 --> 01:15:33,700
You're right
that this isn't working.

2029
01:15:35,700 --> 01:15:38,433
I've been so scared
to leave this place

2030
01:15:38,567 --> 01:15:41,734
and lose out
on a good-paying job,

2031
01:15:41,867 --> 01:15:44,567
but I love to write about
what actually matters...

2032
01:15:46,533 --> 01:15:47,500
and sometimes...

2033
01:15:50,367 --> 01:15:52,367
real love takes sacrifice.

2034
01:15:52,500 --> 01:15:53,867
What are you getting at?

2035
01:15:56,333 --> 01:15:57,400
I quit.

2036
01:16:01,600 --> 01:16:05,767
[♪♪]

2037
01:16:08,433 --> 01:16:10,367
Pick up.
Please, please, pick up.

2038
01:16:10,500 --> 01:16:12,667
Kendra, hi.

2039
01:16:12,800 --> 01:16:14,767
Trish, I'm so glad you answered.

2040
01:16:14,900 --> 01:16:16,734
I have been thinking
about you non-stop.

2041
01:16:16,867 --> 01:16:17,767
You're not mad at me?

2042
01:16:17,900 --> 01:16:19,133
Look, call it
journalistic intuition,

2043
01:16:19,266 --> 01:16:20,300
but I don't think you had

2044
01:16:20,433 --> 01:16:21,500
anything to do
with that article.

2045
01:16:21,633 --> 01:16:23,700
I wish Michael understood that.

2046
01:16:23,834 --> 01:16:25,633
I know, I tried, I did.

2047
01:16:25,767 --> 01:16:28,166
He's...
he's just too upset right now.

2048
01:16:28,300 --> 01:16:29,433
None of this would have happened

2049
01:16:29,567 --> 01:16:30,867
if I hadn't interrupted
his life.

2050
01:16:31,000 --> 01:16:32,100
Perhaps,

2051
01:16:32,233 --> 01:16:34,133
but you brought
Michael and Scott together,

2052
01:16:34,266 --> 01:16:36,333
and you reconnected them
to William and Pearl.

2053
01:16:36,467 --> 01:16:38,467
I want to make this right,
but I need your help.

2054
01:16:38,600 --> 01:16:39,967
How can I help?

2055
01:16:40,100 --> 01:16:41,467
Would the Pine Grove Gazette

2056
01:16:41,600 --> 01:16:43,600
run the real story
of The Christmas Ring?

2057
01:16:43,734 --> 01:16:44,700
The one I wrote?

2058
01:16:44,834 --> 01:16:46,433
We would be honored.

2059
01:16:46,567 --> 01:16:48,266
Okay, I need
to make some changes,

2060
01:16:48,400 --> 01:16:49,533
but I will send it
to you tonight.

2061
01:16:49,667 --> 01:16:50,600
Great.

2062
01:16:50,734 --> 01:16:52,033
I'll make it
front page tomorrow,

2063
01:16:52,166 --> 01:16:53,300
just in time for the dance.

2064
01:16:53,433 --> 01:16:54,600
Thank you.

2065
01:17:01,967 --> 01:17:03,834
with a ring that had been
passed down in his family

2066
01:17:03,967 --> 01:17:05,266
for four generations.

2067
01:17:07,200 --> 01:17:08,600
I know this

2068
01:17:08,734 --> 01:17:10,066
because when I was little,

2069
01:17:10,200 --> 01:17:11,500
I used to sit
on my mother's lap

2070
01:17:11,633 --> 01:17:13,133
and turn the ring
around and around

2071
01:17:13,266 --> 01:17:14,367
while she told me

2072
01:17:14,500 --> 01:17:16,066
that they were blessed
with the legacy of love.

2073
01:17:19,967 --> 01:17:21,934
After my mom passed away,

2074
01:17:22,066 --> 01:17:23,333
my dad held onto the ring,

2075
01:17:23,467 --> 01:17:24,867
promising
it would be mine one day.

2076
01:17:26,467 --> 01:17:28,600
Last year, he joined my mom,

2077
01:17:28,734 --> 01:17:31,100
and I was left
with a hole in my heart.

2078
01:17:34,367 --> 01:17:36,166
A few weeks after his funeral,

2079
01:17:36,300 --> 01:17:37,567
I realized
I hadn't seen the ring

2080
01:17:37,700 --> 01:17:39,900
in any of my father's things.

2081
01:17:40,033 --> 01:17:42,233
It was gone,
and it felt

2082
01:17:42,367 --> 01:17:43,600
like I lost them both
all over again.

2083
01:17:45,200 --> 01:17:47,934
So I made sure to check
every antique shop I passed,

2084
01:17:48,066 --> 01:17:49,467
but time and time again,

2085
01:17:49,600 --> 01:17:51,266
my search turned up short.

2086
01:17:52,533 --> 01:17:54,767
That was until two weeks ago,

2087
01:17:54,900 --> 01:17:57,166
when I found
someone else's engagement ring

2088
01:17:57,300 --> 01:17:58,867
at an antique market in Boston.

2089
01:18:00,533 --> 01:18:02,500
The ring was stunning,

2090
01:18:02,633 --> 01:18:05,000
and the inscription inside
moved me.

2091
01:18:05,133 --> 01:18:06,767
I had to know the story
behind this ring.

2092
01:18:08,033 --> 01:18:09,834
And so I began my quest,

2093
01:18:09,967 --> 01:18:11,967
and it led me
to Pine Grove, Massachusetts,

2094
01:18:12,100 --> 01:18:14,667
a town so full
of Christmas magic,

2095
01:18:14,800 --> 01:18:16,100
I felt like a kid again.

2096
01:18:18,633 --> 01:18:19,633
William Jones

2097
01:18:19,767 --> 01:18:21,200
worked on the railroad
in Pine Grove

2098
01:18:21,333 --> 01:18:23,200
and was saving up
to open up his dream store,

2099
01:18:23,333 --> 01:18:25,033
but in 1947,

2100
01:18:25,166 --> 01:18:27,967
at the Main Street Festival's
Christmas Eve dance,

2101
01:18:28,100 --> 01:18:29,333
his plans changed

2102
01:18:29,467 --> 01:18:30,500
when he met

2103
01:18:30,633 --> 01:18:33,333
a beautiful debutante
named Pearl.

2104
01:18:33,467 --> 01:18:35,100
Although they were
from different worlds,

2105
01:18:35,233 --> 01:18:36,233
the two quickly fell in love.

2106
01:18:38,033 --> 01:18:40,000
He decided
to put his dream on hold

2107
01:18:40,133 --> 01:18:41,367
and order a very special

2108
01:18:41,500 --> 01:18:43,567
custom engagement ring
for Pearl.

2109
01:18:47,000 --> 01:18:48,500
Not one to wait,

2110
01:18:48,633 --> 01:18:51,834
William soon took out a loan
and began building the store,

2111
01:18:51,967 --> 01:18:53,800
but as most businesses do,

2112
01:18:53,934 --> 01:18:55,834
it struggled
in the first couple of years

2113
01:18:55,967 --> 01:18:56,900
and William and Pearl

2114
01:18:57,033 --> 01:18:58,233
were in danger
of losing it all.

2115
01:18:59,967 --> 01:19:01,567
So Pearl did
the only thing she could do

2116
01:19:01,700 --> 01:19:04,266
to help keep
her love's dream alive--

2117
01:19:04,400 --> 01:19:05,667
she sold the ring.

2118
01:19:09,767 --> 01:19:12,633
The Jones General Store
is still in the family,

2119
01:19:12,767 --> 01:19:15,734
owned by William and Pearl's
grandsons, Scott and Michael.

2120
01:19:15,867 --> 01:19:18,233
Even they didn't know
the story behind the ring,

2121
01:19:18,367 --> 01:19:19,433
but, together,

2122
01:19:19,567 --> 01:19:20,700
we discovered

2123
01:19:20,834 --> 01:19:23,600
that it was so much more
than a circle of gold,

2124
01:19:23,734 --> 01:19:25,734
it was a symbol of family,

2125
01:19:25,867 --> 01:19:27,433
of sacrifice,

2126
01:19:27,567 --> 01:19:29,100
and, above all...

2127
01:19:29,233 --> 01:19:30,467
a symbol of true love.

2128
01:19:33,000 --> 01:19:35,233
While uncovering the story
behind the ring,

2129
01:19:35,367 --> 01:19:37,233
I started to fall in love
with Michael.

2130
01:19:39,367 --> 01:19:42,133
I realized it was time
to take a risk,

2131
01:19:42,266 --> 01:19:44,800
time to quit my job
and follow my own path.

2132
01:19:48,033 --> 01:19:49,133
So here I am now,

2133
01:19:49,266 --> 01:19:52,433
sharing the true story
of the Christmas Ring,

2134
01:19:52,567 --> 01:19:55,900
a story I didn't realize
I had become a part of.

2135
01:19:59,700 --> 01:20:00,967
That is why I'll be

2136
01:20:01,100 --> 01:20:02,533
at the Pine Grove
Christmas Eve dance,

01:20:02,667 --> 01:20:04,967
where Pearl and William
first met,

2138
01:20:05,100 --> 01:20:06,700
and I'll be there
waiting for Michael,

2139
01:20:06,834 --> 01:20:08,934
in the hopes that he feels
the same way

2140
01:20:09,066 --> 01:20:10,467
and can see that even though

2141
01:20:10,600 --> 01:20:11,900
I went to Pine Grove

2142
01:20:12,033 --> 01:20:14,400
looking for answers
about a stranger's ring,

2143
01:20:14,533 --> 01:20:15,734
what I found

2144
01:20:15,867 --> 01:20:17,367
was the missing piece
to my own heart.

2146

Hi.

2147
01:20:31,500 --> 01:20:32,433
It was a lovely article.

2148
01:20:32,567 --> 01:20:34,233
Thank you.

2149
01:20:34,367 --> 01:20:35,433
I hope everyone feels that way.

2150
01:20:35,567 --> 01:20:37,066
Have faith.

2151
01:20:37,200 --> 01:20:38,467
I'll try.

2152
01:20:44,166 --> 01:20:45,033
Any sign of him?

2153
01:20:45,166 --> 01:20:46,233
I tried calling.

2154
01:20:46,367 --> 01:20:47,233
There's still time.

2155
01:20:47,367 --> 01:20:48,266
Whatever happens,

2156
01:20:48,400 --> 01:20:50,233
I want to thank you both
so much,

2157
01:20:50,367 --> 01:20:51,767
for everything.

2158
01:20:51,900 --> 01:20:53,800
No, Kendra, thank you.

2159
01:20:55,000 --> 01:20:55,867
I'm going to go get us
some cider?

2160
01:20:56,000 --> 01:20:57,000
Okay.

2161
01:20:59,367 --> 01:21:00,633
I'll have another look around.

2163

You look beautiful.

2164
01:21:19,233 --> 01:21:21,333
Michael, I'm so sorry.
I should have--

2165
01:21:21,467 --> 01:21:22,867
No, no. I'm sorry.

2166
01:21:23,000 --> 01:21:24,700
I should have believed you.

2170
01:21:47,834 --> 01:21:49,967
So is it true
you walked away from Quizzer?

2171
01:21:50,100 --> 01:21:51,867
I did.

2172
01:21:52,000 --> 01:21:53,934
I decided to take you up
on your suggestion

2173
01:21:54,066 --> 01:21:56,533
of starting
my own online magazine,

2174
01:21:56,667 --> 01:21:59,000
strictly human-interest pieces,

2175
01:21:59,133 --> 01:22:00,934
like "The Christmas Ring."

2176
01:22:02,500 --> 01:22:03,500
I think that's a great idea.

2177
01:22:03,633 --> 01:22:06,567
Have you decided
where will your offices be?

2178
01:22:06,700 --> 01:22:08,166
Right now?

2179
01:22:08,300 --> 01:22:09,467
Out of my apartment in Boston.

2180
01:22:10,900 --> 01:22:12,934
That is a funny coincidence.

2181
01:22:13,066 --> 01:22:15,767
I'm actually
moving to Boston soon.

2182
01:22:15,900 --> 01:22:16,967
You are?

2183
01:22:18,867 --> 01:22:20,033
You know,
redesigning the store

2184
01:22:20,166 --> 01:22:21,834
completely inspired me.

2185
01:22:21,967 --> 01:22:23,867
I'm starting a new firm.

2186
01:22:24,000 --> 01:22:25,934
One that focuses on
taking buildings of the past

2187
01:22:26,066 --> 01:22:27,333
and updating them
for the future.

2188
01:22:28,467 --> 01:22:30,934
It's gonna be a brand-new start.

2189
01:22:31,066 --> 01:22:32,900
And what better place
for both of our goals

2190
01:22:33,033 --> 01:22:34,834
than Boston?

2191
01:22:34,967 --> 01:22:37,333
What about Pine Grove?

2192
01:22:37,467 --> 01:22:39,367
It's not too far.

2193
01:22:39,500 --> 01:22:42,500
It's where I'll spend
my weekends...

2194
01:22:42,633 --> 01:22:43,834
and you can join me
if you want to.

After all,
you're a part of the story now.
