Oh.
I'll tell you, Audrey,
I love beachcombing year round,
but it never fails that
at this time of year,
I find the most treasured gifts.
Look.
This, my dear, is a
Saint Nicholas medal.
That's pretty.
How magical is it
that I found this
a few days before Christmas?
Saint Nicholas in
Dutch is Sint Nicolaas,
which, if you say that quickly,
it becomes Sinterklaas.
Santa Claus.
That's a perfect item
for sale right now.
Oh, I won't be selling
this in the shop.
I'll be giving it
to Finn O'Sullivan.
Who's he?
Do you see his name there?
I just have to find him.
Now, what have you got there?
Merry Christmas.
Oh.
It's just a sketch, Grandma.
No,
it's the loveliest Christmas
gift I've ever received.
Hey, Audrey, slow down.
Audrey, slow down.
OK, Mom.
Merry Christmas.
Hey, what are you two doing?
Hey, honey.
Just looking for a frame
for my Christmas gift.
Audrey, it's lovely.
Will this work?
Perfect.
Audrey, the secret spot.
Remind me the name on the medal.
Finn O'Sullivan.
That ring a bell for you?
Mm, he might be related
to John O'Sullivan.
John sings in the choir with me.
Is he single?
- Mom.
- What?
Can't I wish my daughter
to have a man in her life?
Well, you can wish all you want,
but I've got my hands
full being a single mom
and running this
business with you.
And as far as your pendant,
we're singing Christmas Eve.
I could ask John then
if he knows this Finn.
Oh, could you call
John before that?
I'd really like to get him
his Saint Nicholas medal back.
I think it would be quite
in the spirit of Christmas
to find that something
you thought was lost
is, in fact, found.
What do you think, kiddo?
Sounds pretty wise, Grandma.
Comes with age.
Oh.
Ah.
She's gonna be a
famous artist someday,
mark my words.
On the fifth
day of Christmas
My true love sent
to me five...
Hi, Mom.
Hey.
I didn't catch you
painting, did I?
No.
What's up?
Well, the lawyer and I finally
went through Grandma's
will, and as expected,
she left the shop to both of us.
Right.
You gonna start
looking for a buyer?
If that's what you still want.
Mom, I don't want
you to sell the shop.
Mm, that's not what I meant.
I love the shop.
I know you do.
Mom, are you trying
to get me to move back
and run the shop with you?
Sweetie, I was just
sensing some...
I don't know, mixed emotions.
Of course there
are mixed emotions.
I want to clone myself and
have my clone come back
to Springside and
help you run the shop.
I just...
I miss her.
Me too, honey.
She did leave you a
few gifts as well,
with specific
instructions in the will
that they're to be
given before Christmas.
Grandma and her
specific instructions.
Well, I guess I'll be
seeing you soon then.
You will.
Good night, sweetheart.
Bye, Mom.
- Sweetheart.
- Oh.
Oh, it's good to be back, Mom.
- Oh.
- Oh, wow.
Now it just needs more
Christmas decorations.
Really reminds me of Grandma.
It always was all
her, wasn't it?
- It really was.
- Audrey?
Hey, Charlie.
Merry Christmas.
Oh, Merry Christmas.
How's the big city
treating you, kid?
You know, it's still big.
How's it going?
Oh, this is my favorite
time of the year, so...
And business is good.
Yeah, it is,
but that's not why
I love this season.
I'm still the resident Santa
up at the community center.
Oh, of course you are.
I love that.
Well, take care, ladies.
I have to go open the shop.
Of course.
Merry Christmas.
Take care, Charlie.
Merry Christmas, Diana.
And to you, Charles.
Is that New York City's
celebrated artist Audrey Miller?
Hi, Miss Drake.
Mwah, mwah.
Diana, please.
Hello, Kay.
Merry Christmas, Diana.
How's the antiques business
over on First Avenue?
Oh, I can hardly keep
anything in the shop
for more than a week.
How is it over here?
Oh, we're managing.
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
Yeah.
Hmm.
Audrey, are you able to join us
for the Christmas Giving Gala?
We're raising money for
the Springside food pantry
this year.
I wouldn't miss it.
Oh, wonderful.
You know, I pinch myself when
I think that Audrey Miller
used to enter her artwork
into our Giving Gala
charity art contest.
That's so interesting.
I never won.
I mean, not that
it's about winning.
You know, I just...
it would have been nice
for my favorite charity
to get the winning
prize donation.
You know.
At any rate, you
must be delighted
to have this treasure back, Kay.
Maybe she can help you a
little around the shop.
- Oh, of course.
- You know, actually,
I was just telling her
how beautiful it is.
Oh, especially that.
So cute.
Another year with
that honor, Kay.
Though I can't help but
wonder how many more years
you'll receive it
now that Molly is
no longer with us.
Diane hasn't changed.
No, she's still a
shortsighted snob
who cares more about silly
awards than your grandmother
or I ever did.
- I see that.
And I know that her sales
are down again this year.
Really?
She'll probably throw a
party when she finds out
we're selling the place.
Excuse me. Hands off.
- Missy.
- I got it.
- No, it's mine.
- My treat.
Oh.
Wow.
People loved her
and were grateful for
all she gave them.
Speaking of giving,
she wanted you to have it,
and she left you the desk.
Seriously?
I know.
It'll probably cost more to ship
than the desk is even worth.
Mom, this desk is priceless.
You haven't been using it.
I was.
But it's yours now.
And in the will, she asked you
to look in the secret spot.
You haven't looked?
She didn't ask me.
"Dear Audrey,
"the day my oncologist told me
"that the cancer
reached stage IV,
"I went out on a treasure hunt.
"I hit the beach,
Thompson's Park,
"and the woods by Mayor's Park.
"I left no stone unturned.
"And look what I found.
"Five gold rings,
"like in my favorite
Christmas tune.
"So, my true love,
"I give you the five gold rings
"in hopes that you will do
what you know I would do.
"Find the people who lost
these five gold rings.
"You get to be the lady
Sinterklaas this Christmas.
"I'd love to see you find the
owners before Christmas Day,
"as I would do.
"Save the best for last.
"And I suggest
you enlist the aid
"of our old Saint
Nicholas medal recipient,
Finn O'Sullivan."
It was Finn's medal
that started her
returning items to people
at Christmas, wasn't it?
Yeah.
"I know how hard
the holidays can be
"when someone you love is gone,
"and my body may be gone,
"but my spirit's here.
"And this quest I bequeath
"to you.
Love, Grandma."
Audrey, you don't have
to spend your vacation
on a wild goose chase.
This was Grandma's tradition.
Find lost items and
do everything you can
to find their
owners by Christmas.
It's...
it's an incredible
gift she's given me.
I would be more than happy
to accept this quest.
I wonder if Finn will
feel the same way.
Thanks for everything, Finn.
I know you said no charge.
No worries, Candice.
You must let us pay you
something for all your work.
It was my pleasure,
Josh. This one's on me.
Any time you need me, I'm here.
- Oh.
- All right.
Now get out of here.
Hey, have a nice day.
You're still working pro bono
for those in need, I see.
Wow.
Audrey Miller.
Finn O'Sullivan.
When'd you get back from...
where is it that you live again?
- Manhattan.
- Ah, that's the one.
I just got here this morning,
so you can't get mad at me
for not calling you this time.
Except you didn't call.
You just showed up here.
Mm-hmm.
How'd you get my office address?
Your Uncle John.
My mom talked to him.
Sounds about right.
He's always looking for
a reason to talk to Kay.
He's crazy about her.
That's interesting.
He always seems to
have a girlfriend.
And he says she's
married to her work.
That's accurate.
Although she is retiring
after the holidays.
You're kidding.
What about the shop?
Putting on the market.
And Molly was cool with this?
Oh, I mean, all my
grandma ever wanted
was for anyone to be happy,
so my mom will be happy not
running the shop by herself.
And you can't help her run it
because you're
busy working in...
Manhattan.
That's the one.
Yeah, speaking of work,
I actually might have a job for
you, if you're not too busy.
Just wanted to
discuss it with you.
OK.
First, I'm gonna
need one of those.
Can I buy you a refill
and we have a catch up?
Sure can.
After you.
Every time I come
back here and visit,
it just reminds me of
why I love it so much.
Speaking of reminders,
remind me why we never went out?
That's direct.
Uh, probably has something
to do with the fact
that we went to different
high schools and colleges.
You know, whenever I would
see you, you had a girlfriend
Yeah, my mom says
I fear commitment.
Well...
Having a girlfriend and
being good at commitment
is not the same
thing, my friend.
- Whoa.
- What?
That is verbatim what my
last girlfriend said to me
when we broke up.
There you go.
So you don't have a
girlfriend right now?
I do not.
What happened?
- Long story.
- Mm.
What about you?
Do you have a boyfriend?
I did.
Yeah, we were together
a couple years,
but things were
starting to go south
before my grandma
even got sick, so.
We just used to argue about
whether or not I loved my art
more than I love him.
- Ouch.
Yeah.
- Well, did you?
- Mm.
Ouch again.
So about this job.
- Mm.
If you're too busy, it's...
Audrey, do you remember
when we first met?
You and Molly came
to my basketball game
and returned my missing
Saint Nicholas medal.
Mm.
Yeah, I remember.
I also remember that you
nailed a three-point shot
right after we gave
you that medal back.
Sure did.
Oh, do you still have it?
No.
I haven't taken it off since.
My good luck charm.
So I guess I wasn't the only
one who Molly tracked down
to returned something lost.
No, it was her thing.
So you have no other information
about these items?
Nope.
You know, Christmas is...
- Nine days away. I know.
It's gonna be a lot of work,
and if you are too busy...
I'm taking your job, Audrey.
- Wait, seriously?
- Of course.
I can't say no to this.
Thank you, Finn.
Thank me once I've figured
out who these belong to.
OK.
Oh, and I'm obviously
gonna pay you.
No, you...
Finn, you deserve to be...
Let's talk about this later.
First things first, these
need to be polished.
Mm.
Oh, I'm way ahead of you.
I'm impressed.
So this one has fire damage,
so polish won't work.
I'm gonna get my mom
to help with that one.
So what exactly did Molly mean
when she said "save
the best for last"?
Well, she would, uh,
dig up some treasures,
and she would save the most
special one to return last.
So which one is
the most special?
You tell me.
I'm gonna say the
one with the stones.
The ruby and emeralds?
You know, the Christmas colors.
That's what I was thinking.
Hang on.
Wait, y-you're a
private detective,
and you actually have
a magnifying glass?
No.
I have two.
Oh.
Well, thank you, Sherlock.
You're welcome, Watson.
Is that Russian?
So first, we have to access
the Cyrillic keyboard
that will let me translate
it into the English alphabet.
It's kind of like
breaking a code.
Here's a backwards N.
There's a T.
- Mm.
Elizabet?
Elizabet luchshayaKlara.
Maybe Klara gave
something to Elizabet.
Elizabeth, the finest
Clara to dance the role.
"The Nutcracker."
Now you need to translate.
The ballet, "The Nutcracker."
Have you never seen it?
Do I strike you as a ballet guy?
It's a Christmas fairy
tale about a young girl
who does battle
with a mouse king.
A mouse king?
Yeah.
And Clara is the girl?
Well, sometimes
she's called Marie.
It just depends on the
adaptation they use.
But the one they use here every
Christmas at the Swan Theater,
she's Clara.
Oh, and the music, the ballet,
it's Tchaikovsky.
Who was Russian.
Yes.
And it looks like Clara is
being played by Ariel Bennett.
I mean, the Swan has
done "The Nutcracker"
every year for decades.
Are there past casts on there?
Doesn't look like it.
They must have old
programs at the theater,
and they're closed on Mondays.
I've also got to write up a
report for another client,
but how about this?
I'll give you a call
tomorrow after I talk
to someone from the theater.
Yeah, sounds good.
Great.
I love everything
we have in here,
but the lamps are far
and away my favorite.
Yeah.
Will you excuse me for a second?
Go ahead.
- Hello there.
- Hey.
So I managed to track
down the theater manager,
but no one's gonna
be there until 5:00.
OK.
You want to pick me up or
should I meet you there?
Oh.
You're... you're coming?
Is that OK?
Yeah. Yeah, that's OK.
Great.
I'll be at the shop.
I'll be there.
- Hi.
- Good evening.
How can I help you?
- Hi.
I spoke to a Lexi on the phone.
My name's Finn O'Sullivan.
- Oh, right.
Hi. I'm Lexi.
Nice to finally meet you.
Um, Lexi, I'm a
private investigator.
Oh, my goodness. Is
someone in trouble?
No. No, no, no.
This is my associate,
Audrey Miller.
Basically, a client has
hired us to find something.
Someone.
- Well, someone
that might have been
playing one of your Claras.
One of the girls is missing?
- No, not...
- No, not missing
in the sense of
a missing person.
No, no.
We have a valuable item
that belongs to this person,
and we would like to return it.
Which Clara?
We only have the
first name, Elizabeth.
Elizabeth?
I've worked at the
Swan for five years,
and none of our Claras were
played by an Elizabeth.
Are you sure she
was at our theater?
Yeah.
This might have been years ago.
Do you...
Have past programs
we can review?
Of course.
It's probably
somewhere in storage.
But if you'll follow
me, I'll show you.
I'm your associate, huh?
The programs are...
In one or some of these boxes.
I'm sorry.
We've been meaning
to organize this,
but, you know, there's always
another show to mount, so...
- All good, Lexi.
- OK.
Lexi, you're needed backstage.
If you'll excuse me,
I'm needed elsewhere.
Are you all good with
me leaving you here?
Yeah, no worries.
OK.
I hope you find your Elizabeth.
We'll just...
Start digging.
Very heavy.
How...
do you not lose your
mind doing this job?
Oh, no, I've lost
my mind before.
OK.
Then I hire another
PI to help me find it.
So we have three
different Elizabeths
who played the role of Clara.
- That we do.
We don't even know if
any of these Elizabeths
was the finest Clara
to dance the role.
Or if they still
live in Springside.
So I do have some good software
that can do identity
record searches
on these three Elizabeths.
And you are tired, miss.
No. No, no, no, no. I'm good.
Let's keep going.
- Audrey,
my dad taught me that the
two most important things
for a private investigator
are a good night's sleep
and a full stomach.
Are you asking me to dinner?
Hang on.
Yeah, Mom?
Ugh. Again?
Yeah, I'm on a job.
Audrey Miller.
Yeah, she is.
I'll be there.
Sorry about that.
She was trimming the tree and
the lights stopped working.
It happens every year.
But she is offering to
feed us Christmas lasagna.
What's Christmas lasagna?
You know, lasagna with
spinach, Christmas colors.
That is so ridiculously cute.
- Is it?
- Yeah.
We don't have to stay long.
No, no, no.
I love a homemade meal.
I want to see your mom.
Come on.
Hi, Mom.
Oh, thank goodness you're here.
Hey, Merry Christmas, Audrey.
Merry Christmas, Colleen.
Oh, sweetheart, I'm sorry.
I know this happens every year.
It's almost like tradition.
Yeah, but I'm afraid
this looks done for.
We're gonna have to get a
whole new set of lights.
You say that every year.
OK.
Well, are you ready for
some Christmas lasagna?
Oh, am I ever.
So, Audrey, how's
your work going?
I'm a huge fan.
Of my... my art?
Yes. John, my
brother-in-law...
Audrey knows Uncle John, Mom.
He has a crush on my mom,
but thinks she's
married to her work.
And then she said that he
always has a girlfriend or...
He hasn't dated
anyone in over a year.
But anyways, John told
me about your art,
and I started following you
on social media, and wow.
You're amazing.
Thank you.
What she's not telling you
is that you've inspired her
to become an artist.
- No, seriously?
- No, no, no.
Finn, I'm a social
worker who paints.
This young lady is an artiste.
Well, this social worker
has entered her painting
in a competition for some
Christmas charity gala thing.
The Christmas Giving Gala?
Oh, I... no, I don't
think I'm gonna enter.
Mom.
Can I see it?
Uh, well, you know what?
How about after
we trim the tree?
I am gonna hold you to that.
This is beautiful.
Yeah.
It's my dad.
How old were you when he passed?
Just started junior
year of college,
which, obviously,
I didn't finish.
Right, because you took
over his detective agency.
Yeah, it's what my
dad would have wanted.
What did you want to do?
Oh, I wanted to take
over the agency,
just not under
those circumstances.
I'm not great at the
business side of things.
Almost managed to run the
agency into the ground,
but...
anyway.
Should I call her in?
Mm.
Hey, Mom, we're in the clear.
It is really exquisite, Colleen.
Well, thank you,
but I don't think the
lead judge would agree,
Diana Trank. Do you know her?
Yeah.
Trust me, if Diana
Trank is not a fan,
you should consider
that a compliment.
That was so lovely.
Sorry I got distracted
from the quest.
No, we'll get back
at it tomorrow.
It was really nice
to see your mom.
You know, when I was in college,
she used to say to me that
I was wasting my time with
whoever I was with,
and instead...
Oh, you should have been
wasting your time with me?
Mm-hmm.
I should get home.
I can drive you.
No, it's just a couple blocks.
I'd like to walk.
See you in the morning.
See you in the morning.
- You guys have a good day.
- Yeah.
Merry Christmas.
Mom, are you OK?
I'm so grateful to
you for being here.
Where else would I be?
Well, off on Grandma's
quest, I suppose.
Right.
Well, I will get
back to that soon.
Finn's just working
on some leads, so.
How is Finn?
He's pretty good at his job.
That's not what I was asking.
Oh, hi, Mrs. Miller.
Good afternoon, Finn.
Please call me Kay.
So were your ears burning?
Excuse me?
Um, I assume you're
here for Audrey.
Yeah, I am.
Thanks, Kay.
Find our Elizabeths?
Took a while with
marriages and name changes,
but, yeah, I found them.
I even spoke to one of them.
- Without me?
- Relax.
She lives in Chicago, and
the pendant isn't hers.
But the other two
Elizabeths are closer by.
I couldn't find numbers for
them, but I did find addresses.
One of them is right
here in Springside.
Elizabeth Burton is
now Elizabeth Douglas.
And the other,
Elizabeth Trentham.
Elizabeth King, but she
lives in Saint Paul.
So we should try
Elizabeth Douglas.
Sounds like a plan.
Right.
Hi.
Hi. Elizabeth Douglas?
Betty.
Nobody calls me Elizabeth.
Oh, they did when you
danced the role of Clara.
Oh, my goodness.
I haven't seen that in years.
What about this?
What is that?
It's not yours?
Sorry. Who are you?
I'm Audrey Miller,
and this is...
Finn O'Sullivan.
I'm a private investigator.
Miss Miller hired
me to track down
who this pendant belonged to.
We believe it was
someone named Elizabeth
who danced the role of Clara.
Well, I did dance Clara, and
my given name is Elizabeth,
but I've never
owned that pendant.
I'm sorry.
You wouldn't happen to
know an Elizabeth Trentham?
Yes.
She was a few years
younger than me.
I haven't seen her
in probably 20 years.
Is she still in the area?
Saint Paul.
Ah, well, good luck.
Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas.
Should we head to Saint Paul?
I think we should.
Oh, I used to go
crazy with my snowmen.
Crazy how?
Oh, I'd make, like,
10, 12 of them.
The whole yard would
be full of them.
Each one would have
a different look.
Different look how?
Three ba*ls of snow.
Finn, please don't tell me
you've never built a snowman.
OK, I won't tell you that.
Have you really never
built a snowman?
That is correct.
Oh, this is a travesty.
That's against
Minnesota state law.
Pretty sure it's not.
Well, it should be.
I don't think she's home.
Yeah, I don't think
she's home either.
What do we do?
We wait.
Yeah, detective
work can be tedious.
Great.
We can at least make
waiting a little more fun.
Hmm?
Hello.
Hi.
I have a question for you.
So my friend has
never built a snowman.
I know.
Would you mind if we help you?
Um, yeah, sure.
Come on. Yeah.
There, and with those.
Looks like you broke through
that artist's block, Audrey.
You guys new to
the neighborhood?
Oh, we're from Springside.
It's just west of here.
Yeah, we came to see
your neighbor, Elizabeth.
You family?
Uh, no.
Finn's a private
investigator. I'm his client.
You know, we actually
have this really beautiful
piece of jewelry that we...
we think might be Elizabeth's.
Do you know when
she might be back?
It'll be late.
She's caroling with
her choir tonight.
Do you know where?
Yeah, at the Cathedral
Atrium in the city center.
- Thank you so much.
- Sure.
Hey, good luck.
Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas.
Born to
raise the sons of Earth
Born to give
them second birth
Hark, the herald angels sing
Glory to the newborn king
It's her.
Thank you.
Thank you so much for coming.
Thank you.
Miss King?
Yes?
Do you recognize this?
How did you...
My grandmother found
it in Springside.
How did you know
it belonged to me?
- Finn is a...
- Private investigator.
And Audrey is...
His associate.
My grandmother found
it and wanted us
to find the person who lost it,
so we translated the inscription
and tracked you down.
It was a gift from
a hero of mine,
Natasha Lychnikov.
The Russian ballerina.
She came to Springside the
year that I was dancing Clara,
and she was so
complimentary of my dancing.
And a few months
later, I received this.
I lost this five years ago.
I don't know how I can possibly
compensate you for this.
No, mm-mm.
You already have.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
I'm just realizing, if she
wanted to pay you a reward,
I shouldn't have said no.
You did the right thing.
Isn't that what
Christmas is about?
Being of service?
Well, from what I
remember, you were the guy
that used to roll his
eyes at Christmas giving.
Well, people change.
Grow up, I guess.
And I've enjoyed spending
the last few days with you.
Well, you are stuck with
me for four more rings.
And we have less than a
week to find their owners.
Works for me.
Hello.
Late night at the shop?
No.
I was walking through the park
and there was a string quartet
and mulled cider being given out
by the fire company.
Mm.
Was John there?
- He was.
- Oh.
I see.
Nothing to see.
Apparently he doesn't
have a girlfriend.
Hasn't had one for a while.
Is that right?
Finn says he never asks you out
because he thinks you're
married to your work,
but I told Finn that
you're selling the shop.
Audrey.
And I told him to tell John.
And as I told your
grandmother more than once,
I am fully capable of
managing my own love life.
Mm.
If you say so.
I do.
So how goes the quest?
Well, we found the one
with the pendant ring.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Any luck with the
fire damaged bracelet?
Yes.
I soaked it in
white wine vinegar.
Took a while, but it
came out shiny and new,
and it's locked in our safe.
Thank you, Mom.
I'll grab it tomorrow.
Hey, can I make you
something to eat?
No, no.
Finn and I grabbed some
food in the North Loop.
You've been to the
Twin Cities and back,
and you're still awake?
It's not that far.
No, I just feel like drawing.
I like it.
The quest is inspiring you.
I'm just fooling around.
Audrey.
That was lovely.
I don't know about that.
OK, then.
I have a confession to make.
Mm?
I canceled my part in
the spring gallery show.
I took a job in retail.
Well, honey,
it's nothing to be
embarrassed about.
Nor, for that matter,
is working retail,
which you may recall I've
done my entire adult life.
But, that said,
I'm certainly glad you've
started drawing again.
And even if you don't
think this is worth saving,
I hope you don't
mind if I keep it.
"Baylock Co."
Hmm.
Audrey?
There is a key inside
the key ring fob.
What?
I noticed a seam along the edge,
and so I just started
playing with it
and it popped open
and a key fell out.
What kind of key?
Well, it's one of
those skeleton kinds.
It's... it's old.
Thanks to you and the
magnifying glass you got me,
I also noticed there's
an inscription.
Oh, do you have a pen?
- Yeah.
- It's "Chairman F.K. SMM."
But the key also has
something on it too.
It's called Baylock Co.
Maybe it's a specific
kind of lock.
Nicely done, Watson.
Thank you, Sherlock.
I'll look into
Baylock and Company
and what the inscription means.
And I'll see you at
9:00 tomorrow morning.
Sleep tight, Audrey.
Sleep tight, Finn.
I guess I should hang
up the phone now.
OK.
Audrey?
Finn? What is it?
I got it.
It hit me in the
middle of the night.
SMM is Springside
Municipal Museum.
- That's great.
- And there's more.
I searched their website
for board of directors,
past and present.
- Any FKs?
Frank Kennedy.
But he passed away a year ago.
Wait.
Look at this.
Obituary of Frank Kennedy.
He's survived by
his son, Frank Jr.
So we find Frank Jr.
- Already did.
He took his dad's
seat on the board.
Chop, chop, huh?
Hi.
- Sorry, we don't open
for another hour.
- Sorry to barge in.
My name's Finn O'Sullivan.
This is Audrey Miller.
We're looking for
Frank Kennedy Jr.
We have something of his
father's to return to him.
Oh, of course.
Well, Frank Jr. is in a
meeting with trustees.
I'm not sure how
long he's gonna be,
but if you want to wait, feel
free to grab a cup of coffee,
and I'll let you know
when he's available.
Actually, you might
be able to help us.
We have a key that we believe
is for a lock of something
that Frank Sr. owned.
Maybe a cabinet, desk.
Is there anybody
occupying his office now?
Yes, his son.
But Frank Sr. had very
particular office furniture,
all antiques.
As a matter of fact, he
had a very unique desk,
beautiful period piece,
and it has a few
locks on the drawers.
Can you show us that?
We actually added it to the
Pioneer exhibit per his will.
I can take you.
Thank you.
Here you go.
It's in this room right here.
You can take a look,
and I will come back
and get you once
Frank is finished.
Thanks, Jill.
Good luck.
Are you thinking
what I'm thinking?
Uh-huh.
- Mm.
- Mm-mm.
Nope.
It's a manuscript.
By Frank Kennedy.
You did it again, Audrey.
Did you read any of this?
We might have taken a peek
while we were waiting.
Where did your
grandmother find this?
In Springside.
That's where my dad was
living when he passed.
My grandmother too.
The novel, it just seems like
it's really good writing.
Well, the museum
was my dad's life.
Mine too, obviously, but
his dream was to
write a novel, and...
I had no idea that
he actually did.
How can I pay you for this?
No need.
But when you get
that thing published,
you can thank us in
the acknowledgments.
You got a deal.
Thank you.
Three rings to go.
Well, and Christmas is
getting closer every minute,
but I think I have an idea
that might speed up our search.
So Frank's got this
novel that his dad wrote
that he didn't
even know existed.
What an extraordinary
and moving story.
I know.
I just wish I could share
it with more people.
Can we post about it on the
shop's social media page?
Of course.
And maybe the photos of
the rest of the rings
and just ask if he
recognizes them?
I assume this is your idea?
This idea was completely
your daughter's.
Mm?
What do you say, Mom?
Well, I don't see why not.
You'll want the bracelet.
Ta-da.
Wow.
Thank you, Mom.
You know, I had a christening
bracelet like this growing up.
Now the inscription is clear.
Siobhan.
- Yeah.
You see that?
That's a shield
with three shells.
I'm pretty sure
it's a saint symbol.
Forget which one.
Saint James.
Smart woman.
I looked it up.
There's a Saint James
Church in Springside
that burned to the
ground 38 years ago.
It's on the edge
of Mayor's Park.
That's one of the places
Grandma searched for the rings.
And you know who would
be able to tell us
about that fire?
Oh.
- Uncle John.
- Mm.
Want to join us tomorrow, Mom?
Kay
and Audrey.
I'm here too, Uncle John.
Yeah, saw you.
Uh, could you give me a minute?
Feel free to join
in while you wait.
Ever built a gingerbread house?
Have you met my mother?
Hey, now.
Want to build some more?
Is that a challenge?
What?
She's a professional artist.
Hey, sorry, guys.
Uh, what brings you here today?
Sure, I remember the
Saint James Church fire.
It was my first
month on the job.
Beautiful church.
19th century building.
All wood.
Tinderbox.
Went up like that.
Was there anything
salvaged from it?
I think the only thing
we managed to recover
were the collection
plates and the cross.
Metal.
Right.
Now, something like that
could have been in the fire.
Just too small to find.
So no records were
found, no books?
No.
I do remember the name
of the priest, though,
if that helps.
- It does.
The only guy I ever
met named Lodowick.
Father Lodowick.
- Lodowick?
Lodowick.
Thanks, Uncle John.
No worries.
Now, will I be seeing you ladies
at Springside by
Candlelight this evening?
Planning on it.
Great.
It's always a wonderful night.
Excuse me.
I got to get back.
Excuse me.
Do you know how Springside
by Candlelight got started?
To draw tourists to town?
That's a good guess,
but no, mm-mm.
There was this big storm,
and it was like 1949
on Christmas Eve,
and the whole town lost power.
And so the highway
superintendent
gets this inspiration, to
load his car with hundreds
of candles, and he delivered
them to the whole neighborhood
so that they could have light
in their homes and businesses.
So the townspeople gather
with their lit candles,
walk to the
superintendent's house,
and they sing "We Wish
You a Merry Christmas"
as a thank you.
And so now people today walk
with their candles on this date
and they wish people
Merry Christmas.
Hmm.
And how do you know this story?
The highway superintendent's
my great grandfather.
Of course he was.
So I guess being
creative and thoughtful
goes back in your
family many generations.
I guess so.
Yeah.
Hey, I found our man.
Father Lodowick Carlyle.
Catholic priest.
Looks like he retired in 2005,
but he's residing at
the O'Byrne Residence
for Retired Clergy
in Saint Cloud.
Well, that's over an hour away.
We could just call him.
My experience with a guy this
age, in person would be better.
What a wonderful story.
I-I can't tell you
how gratifying it is
for an old man like me
to meet two young people
who so embody the
essence of Christmas.
It is, after all, a celebration
of our capacity to give,
and to give with love.
Your grandmother
seems to have embraced
that spirit year round.
Yes, she did.
Father, um, the
Saint James fire...
Oh, yes, yes, of course.
That was a dark day.
But faith sees best in the dark.
The bracelet has the symbol
of Saint James on it.
Is there any chance
it was in the fire?
As a matter of fact, it was.
But not because of our church,
but because little Siobhan
was named after her grandmother,
whose patron saint was James.
Wait, you remember this Siobhan?
I'd like to tell you I remember
the name of every
baptism, wedding,
and funeral I ever conducted,
but that would make me a liar.
Still, I... I could
never forget name
of the family that
was at my church
the day it burned to the ground.
It wasn't until after
we fled the fire
that we realized that
the bracelet was lost.
Do you remember their last name?
Flaherty.
But... but her married name,
Siobhan's married name,
i-is Thomas.
I performed the wedding.
I still get Christmas
cards from them every year.
You wouldn't happen to have
one of those cards, would you?
We'd love to find
the return address.
Hi.
That is a dog in a
reindeer costume.
Hi. Is Siobhan Thomas home?
They went skiing.
I'm the dog sitter.
This is Rudolph.
Is your nose gonna light up?
We have something we think
might belong to Siobhan Thomas.
Do you know when
she might be back?
Some time before Christmas.
Oh.
Well, I'm gonna
give you my card.
Do you mind passing that along?
Yeah.
Private investigator?
Cool.
Thanks for passing
on the message.
No problem.
He reminded me of my ex.
Rudolph?
No, the dog sitter.
Speaking of exes,
you never told me about yours.
Finn.
What?
No, that's his name.
Finn.
Seriously?
No, I'm lying.
No, I called him Finn 2.
To his face?
No, to my mom's.
Wait, so I'm Finn 1?
It's chronological.
- Mm-hmm.
- Mm.
- Hmm.
- So what's next?
Well, I promised I'd
help Uncle John set up
for Springside by Candlelight,
and I think you said
you were helping
your mom at the shop.
No, I am.
It's just, we are
losing precious time.
Or we're spending precious
time with people that we love.
I don't remember
you being so wise.
Comes with age.
- My grandma used to...
- Used to say that.
She said it to me too.
Finn, what if Siobhan doesn't
come back by Christmas?
Don't think about
that right now.
You just got to have faith.
Our family's been
collecting them for years,
so this is probably
the only one we have
right now in the cherrywood.
Nice detail.
It's probably one of my
favorite items in the store.
But we also have a few
others down that are not...
I will be right back.
- OK.
Think about this one, though.
It's my personal favorite.
- Sure.
Lady Sinterklaas, I presume?
Merry Christmas, sir.
Anything I can help you find?
The owner of three gold
rings would be nice.
Mm. So what brings you here?
New lead?
No.
And you forgot.
Springside by Candlelight.
Oh, my gosh.
That's tonight.
How did I forget?
Yeah, well, you were
in your element.
Any chance I could steal
you for a quick stroll?
Well, fortunately,
I have a pretty
solid relationship with boss.
- Oh, really?
Mm-hmm. I think
I could swing it.
Hmm.
Shall we?
If they don't do this in
Manhattan, what do they do?
Oh, well, they light up the
whole Empire State Building
green, red, and white.
Christmas colors like
Christmas lasagna.
Exactly like Christmas lasagna.
Well, if you ask me,
a colorful skyscraper
sounds nice, but it
doesn't hold a candle
to Springside by Candlelight.
- Pun intended.
- Totally.
Oh.
So I'm kind of getting
back to my art.
Well, Finn 1 has always
been a fan of your art.
Finn 2 liked my art.
He just didn't like that
I liked it more than him.
Hey, speaking of exes,
you never answered
my question the other day.
What question?
Why did you break up with
your last girlfriend?
You just said it
was a long story.
Actually, it's not really
that long of a story.
Four months ago,
I just felt like
it was time for us to break up.
My grandmother's funeral
was four months ago.
Yeah.
Yeah, it was.
Finn, did you...
- Oh!
- Oh!
I slipped on the ice.
Uh, Audrey.
So your mom was looking for you.
She's up to her
eyeballs in customers.
What are you two doing exactly?
We slipped. I-I slipped.
Bad choice. Yeah.
- Sure.
- Mm-hmm.
I better run.
Yeah, you better.
Um, uh...
Did you lose something?
No.
I might have found something.
What are you working on now?
I don't know, just...
just a sketch.
Well, at least you're
not throwing it away.
Thank you again for your help
in the shop last night, Audrey.
I would have been
lost without you.
No worries.
Finn said I was in my
element selling antiques.
Ah, well, Finn hasn't seen you
at one of your gallery shows.
That's your element.
Maybe I have more
than one element.
Well, of course you're
good at retail, Audrey.
You grew up in it.
Yeah, but I think Finn noticed,
I'm not just good at it.
It's...
I have fun doing it.
Well, your grandmother always
said you were a gifted curator.
I'm sure they appreciate you
at your retail job in New York.
Well, they've
actually offered me
the assistant manager spot.
Of course they have.
But now that you're
drawing again,
I expect that you'll get
your career back on track
and you'll be able to leave the
retail world behind once again.
Hello?
Oh, hello, Diana.
Yes, yes.
We're both very excited
about the gala tonight.
I thought you weren't
on social media.
Well, yes, I'm sure she'll
want to talk to you.
I'll send her right down.
Well,
Diana Trank has told me more
than once with great pride
how she has no time for
social media nonsense,
but clearly she's
not only on it,
but follows the shop's account.
Why would she admit that to you?
Because she thinks she
might have sold the brooch
in the photo that we posted.
The ring-shaped one
that Grandma found.
I have to call Finn.
This is such a gorgeous piece.
I'm sure your son and
his wife will love it.
Thank you for shopping
at Emporium of Treasures.
Merry Christmas.
Bye, bye.
Audrey, welcome.
Diana.
Oh, this is Finn O'Sullivan.
Hi.
O'Sullivan.
Now, why do I know that name?
My mom is Colleen O'Sullivan.
She actually entered a
piece for your charity.
Yes, of course.
Oh, how I wish you had
entered a piece, Audrey.
Thank you, Diana.
Perhaps for the
charity of it all.
But you need to take a good look
at Colleen O'Sullivan's piece.
It's stunning.
Really?
Well, I'll keep that in mind.
So, Diana, my mom
had said that...
Right.
I think I may have sold
your mystery brooch.
I wasn't going to say
anything at first,
because the piece I sold
had two interlocking rings,
whereas yours...
do you have the piece?
Mm-hmm.
Ah.
Just the one ring.
But I think I sold the
piece you're looking for.
I've been going
through my old records
from my pre-computer days,
and I think I found it.
Let's see.
Ah.
Interlocking rings brooch
sold December 3rd, 2004,
to Edgar Diaz.
No phone number,
though, I'm afraid.
Thank you, Diana.
That's very helpful.
- Thank you.
- Happy to help.
Diana's a piece of work, huh?
No arguments here.
How I wished you'd
entered a piece, Audrey.
Did you know that I entered
the Christmas Giving Gala
three times when I lived here,
and Diana had already
become a lead judge by then?
Guess how many times I won.
I'm gonna guess none.
Ding, ding, ding.
We have a winner.
Well, she clearly
respects you now.
Well, having gallery
shows in Manhattan
can do that for snobs like her.
Hence the reason she's
kissing up to us.
Yeah, I probably have
to leave her hanging
for a little while.
It's kind of fun.
I like this plan.
OK, back to the important stuff.
Should we run a record
search on Edgar Diaz?
No need.
I know Edgar.
Well, knew him.
He owned the garden center
over on the East Side.
They hired me when they
had a few break ins.
What do you mean knew him?
Edgar passed away last year.
But I'm pretty
sure his son-in-law
took over the family business.
They have a pop-up Christmas
tree lot over on Main Street.
I'm pretty sure we could
ask him if the brooch
belonged to Edgar.
Great.
OK, let's go.
I think that's him.
Merry Christmas, guys.
Merry Christmas.
Can I help you guys?
Actually, I was wondering,
are you Edgar Diaz's son-in-law?
I am, yeah.
I'm Finn O'Sullivan.
I did some work for Edgar
a couple years back.
Yeah, yeah. The
private detective.
You caught the guy
who was breaking
into the garden center.
I did, I did.
This is Audrey Miller.
Great to meet you, Audrey.
Joe Del Pietro.
Hey, Finn, pick whatever
tree you two want...
Oh, I appreciate
that, Joe, but...
No, we actually have
an item that we think
might have belonged to
your late father-in-law.
Oh, really? Something
from the break-in?
No, no, it's something
my grandmother found.
I don't believe it.
So you recognize it?
Where did you get this?
I think she found it
in Thompson's Park.
That's right.
Two interlocking rings.
Edgar took them apart,
gave one to Rosa
and told me he was gonna hide
the other one in Thompson Park,
and that if I wanted
to marry his daughter,
I'd need to find it.
So you got married
without finding it?
Well, the day after
Edgar hid the ring,
there was a huge
snowstorm, four feet,
then ice a couple days later.
I tried for three
weeks, sliding on ice,
digging through ice,
looking for this ring.
Finally, Rosa just told me
that we loved each other
and we'd prove it to her dad.
So we eloped.
And how did Edgar
feel about that?
He was delighted.
Yeah, he cooked up
the whole ring hunt
in hopes that we would elope.
Save him on paying
for a big wedding.
The joke was on him, though.
Rosa's mom still made
him throw us a reception.
It'll be our 20th
anniversary on Christmas.
You eloped on Christmas Day?
Best gift my wife ever gave me.
All right,
let's spruce this place up.
I thought it was pretty sprucey.
How's it look?
Mm, it's untrimmed.
You have any ornaments?
No, actually.
Seriously?
Yeah, I've never
had my own tree.
I always just go to my mom's.
Why did you take this?
Joe wanted to give
me the tree so badly,
I couldn't say no.
- Mm.
You have any art supplies?
Um...
I have office supplies.
Hmm.
That'll do.
Reminiscing, lights
are twinkling
And I've been
thinking about you
And all the joy you bring
I don't need gifts
under the tree
That's not what
matters to me
Santa, give me this
There's only one thing
that's on my wish list
And I'm not worried
about the cold
If I got someone to hold
Is there anything you can't do?
There's plenty.
I can make art.
And effortlessly decorate trees
and gingerbread
houses and snowmen,
all while focusing
on this quest.
Oh, speaking of which.
Only two rings left to go.
There's no word from Siobhan.
Can I ask you a question
you're probably not gonna like?
Mm.
OK.
What happens if we don't
finish the quest by Christmas?
It's not like we're gonna
get hit by lightning
if we fail.
It's just...
I'll know that I let
my grandmother down.
No, of course.
I'm sorry.
I just don't want
to let you down.
Thank you, Finn.
Maybe we should just
run by Siobhan's,
I mean, see if they're
back from the ski trip.
Or we could move on to
the ring with stones.
Uh-uh.
Save the best for
last, remember?
Does that mean we can't at
least take a look at the best?
I guess.
Hmm.
What?
Well, typically with rings,
the jeweler leaves
a maker's mark.
A... a stamp,
sort of like a signature.
Proof that they made it.
I'm not seeing
anything like that.
Exactly.
Oh, hold on.
Finn O'Sullivan.
Hi, Siobhan.
Yeah. Yeah, we did.
Um, we think we
might have something
that belonged to you
from a long time ago.
Yeah.
Yeah, well, we'll
come by right now.
Now we're talking.
OK, let's go.
This was my
grandmother's bracelet.
She'd gotten it at her
christening in Cork,
Brought it over
when she immigrated,
so it was devastating when
we lost it in the fire.
So the fire chief led you
to see Father Lodowick?
That's right.
And how is Father Lodowick?
Oh, he has got this little
twinkle in his eyes.
I bet.
Ugh, I should go visit him.
But thank you both so much.
I can't believe all you
went through to find me.
Oh, no, it was our pleasure.
Well, returning all the rings
has been really special.
Wait, there are other rings?
Yeah, my grandmother
found five gold rings.
Like in "The 12
Days of Christmas"?
Exactly, but she found
all of them on one day.
Oh, can you please
thank her for me?
She passed away a few
months ago, but...
- I'm so sorry.
- No, it's OK.
Thank you.
Yeah, the...
when my grandma Siobhan
passed at Christmas that year,
it was... it was tough.
Yeah, I'm sure.
You know, I was expecting
that to be for me, but, um,
you know, my grandmother
just left me these rings
and then asked me to
go on this quest and,
you know, find
these rings owners.
How many have you found?
Well, you are number four.
Well, that's wonderful.
Only one to go.
Yeah, well, we're running
out of time, but...
Mom?
Mom?
I just realized something.
What?
What connects the rings?
Other than being gold and round?
Yes.
Elizabeth's nutcracker pendant
came from her adoring idol,
Frank's key was to his
labor of love, his novel,
Joe and Rosa's brooch
was to prove their love,
and Siobhan's christening
bracelet was inherited
from her beloved grandmother.
The rings are connected by love.
True.
So what if love is the key
to figuring out this ring?
Like, what if this ring
was also given out of love?
Audrey, with all due respect,
Molly was a wise woman,
but there's no way
she could have known
the motivation of these rings.
No, I realize that.
I mean, most pieces of
jewelry are given out of love.
But my point is,
what if this was too?
What if this was
an engagement ring?
Don't engagement
rings have diamonds?
Not always.
Hmm.
I'm not sure how this helps us.
We could look up
engagement listings
in the "Springside
Tribune" online.
A lot of those
brides-to-be will pose
with their ring featured.
That's actually a
great idea, Watson.
Thank you, Sherlock.
I think I might
have asked you this.
Is there anything you can't do?
Hang on.
Oh. Hey, Mom.
What's up?
Oh, that's why you're not home.
Yeah, no.
On my way.
What's up?
The Christmas Giving Gala.
Only just started.
Finn, do you know how
long it takes for a girl
to get ready for a party?
Right, I'll just
go keep our moms...
yeah.
- Thank you.
Yeah. See you later.
A bright winter's
day, but they say
We'll have snow by evening
A chill in the air
Hi.
Oh, no
I'm coming your way
If you stay, we can share...
Wow.
You look...
You're a work of art.
My favorite time
of the year is here
What did your uncle say to
my mom to get her to dance?
No idea.
What do I have to say
to get you to dance?
You've said enough already.
So take my hand
And we'll share
this magic night
Of Christmas love
And as I go
through the motions
The memories rush in
They're ordinary
Finn?
Audrey.
I was just thinking.
About?
The final ring.
Oh.
What about it?
- Tomorrow's...
- Christmas Eve.
I know.
People are gonna be doing
their last-minute shopping
and driving to family.
As they do.
Are we crazy enough to think
that not only are we going
to find the ring's owner,
but we're gonna return it
to them on one of the most
hectic days of the year?
Yeah, that is pretty crazy.
But how is that any different
from everything else
we've done together?
Ladies and gentlemen,
thank you all for coming
to the 25th annual
Christmas Giving Gala.
I'm Diana Trank, gala chair,
and thank you all for
your generous donations
to this year's
grand prize award.
We had many wonderful entries
in the art contest this year,
and just like every other year,
the winner will receive
the grand prize amount
for the local charity
of their choice.
The runners up will have
their pieces auctioned off,
and those proceeds will go
to the Springside Food Bank,
as they do every year.
Now, we also had one
beautiful piece donated
by a well-known New York artist
and Springside's
own Audrey Miller.
And that piece garnered
a very generous bid
from the Waldore family,
so thank you, Audrey.
Now time for the grand prize.
On behalf of the museum,
we are delighted to
announce this year's winner,
first time entrant
Colleen O'Sullivan,
for her piece, "My Heart."
Oh, congratulations.
Mwah, mwah.
Thank you.
I didn't do anything.
Yeah, but you did.
You know you did.
Audrey, thank you.
It's just really wonderful.
I saw on the social media
that you reunited the
brooch with its owner.
I sold that piece 20
years ago for $1,000.
It would have been worth at
least 10 times that today.
Well, my grandmother didn't
do what she did for the money.
And you're all right with this?
I've already been paid
for my services, thanks.
$10,000?
I doubt that.
She's a piece of work.
She is.
I'm just realizing,
I have never asked
what your rate is.
And I already told you,
I don't need to be paid.
- Come on.
- Audrey, stop.
We're going to do this.
What is your day rate?
- Audrey, stop.
I can look it up
on your website.
Audrey.
Audrey, I've been paid already.
But what are you talking about?
Molly paid me.
What?
How?
Five months ago when
she was in the hospital.
So you knew about the
rings the whole time?
Well, not about the rings.
Just that you were
gonna ask me for help.
But why wouldn't you tell me?
I couldn't. I just...
I was just pretending
that I didn't know
you were gonna ask me
to do this with you.
Pretending? No.
That's a lie.
There's a difference.
I was just pretending.
It's different.
Not to me it isn't.
I'm sorry, I don't understand
the purpose of any of this.
You should have told me.
She was my grandmother.
I know, and I just...
I couldn't. I...
I want to leave.
No, don't.
No, I do want to leave.
Bye, Finn. No.
Audrey.
All is calm
All is bright
Good morning.
Morning.
Round yon virgin
Mother and child
When did you do this?
Last night.
What do you think?
Well,
I think you might
want to call New York
and let them know you're ready
for that spring gallery show
after all.
What happened that suddenly
you're painting again?
I don't know.
What's the... the hand?
It's the missing fifth owner.
Remind me, the fifth ring is?
Oh, it's, uh, this one.
Ah.
There's no maker's mark on it.
It's odd.
It's a lovely design, though,
the way the jeweler
set the stones.
What did you say?
Just that it's a lovely design.
No, no, the other part.
The setting of the stones?
Mom. Yes.
Wait, hang on. The stones.
In Grandma's letter, she said...
here. "We hit up the beach,
"then Thompson's Park, and
the woods by Mayor's Park.
I left no stone unturned."
Well, she was thorough.
She didn't turn stones.
I think she was just
using a metaphor.
Mom, Grandma hated clichs.
I think she wants us
to turn these stones.
I suppose that's possible.
You should tell Finn.
What?
Last night?
Finn told me that
Grandma hired him
to do this job before she died.
And he said he didn't
know about the rings,
but that he pretended
to not know that I
was gonna hire him
to do this job that he's
already been paid for.
Ah.
So that's what happened
that you're painting again.
What's that supposed to mean?
Audrey,
obviously, this quest
you've been doing together
and your feelings for Finn
woke up your passion.
No. He kept a secret from me.
Can you imagine why he
might have done that?
No, I can't, actually.
Well, you've been running
all over Minnesota
trying to honor your
grandmother's wishes.
Did you ask him if maybe
he's trying to honor her wish
by not telling you?
Hello?
Kay?
Hello, Finn.
Can I talk to her?
Thanks.
Audrey.
Did my grandmother tell you
not to tell me that
she'd hired you?
Why?
My business was failing,
and Molly bailed me out.
She wanted you to think
I was doing all of this
out of the spirit of generosity.
Which, for the record, I
absolutely would have done.
Why would she care what
I thought of her motive?
She said she wanted you
to think as highly of me
as she did.
Finn,
I think really highly of you.
Not right now.
I appreciate you respecting
my grandmother's wishes
by not telling me about
her secret deal with you.
Except I did just tell you.
Why did you?
'Cause I don't want to
keep things from you.
I've done that in the past.
I don't want to do it with you.
OK.
OK like we're OK?
OK.
OK, so about the quest.
So what if the jeweler's
stamp is hidden
under the stone on the ring?
What do you mean?
Well, hey, Mom, will
you come back in?
So my grandmother's letter said,
"I left no stone
unturned," but she...
She didn't turn over the stones.
Exactly.
I think it's a hint that we
have to turn over these stones.
You think she hid
something under there?
Exactly the kind of
thing she would do.
What if we just take this
down to Charlie's jewelry shop
and he can look under it and
see if there's a maker's mark?
No, Charlie's closed
today, remember?
He's gonna play Santa up at
Bear Lake Community Center.
I know one of the
jewelers at the emporium.
Should we go see them?
Let's go.
By golly, you're right.
There's the mark right there.
That's Charlie Flannery's stamp.
- Charlie?
- Charlie?
Yeah. I take it you know him?
A-are you sure?
Oh, I know Charlie's mark.
We have to get to Bear
Lake Community Center.
h*, h*, h*, h*!
Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas, Lola.
Let's look at the camera.
Merry Christmas, girls.
Should we get in
line? Who's next?
Well, we're not gonna
cut in front of kids.
- Here's our photo.
- Can we?
Merry Christmas.
There we go.
h*, h*, h*! Who's next?
Come on up.
Oh, Merry Christmas, Noel.
h*, h*, h*.
h*, h*, h*, h*.
Hello, Audrey.
Hello, Finn.
All out of presents.
Mm. We brought you one.
Ah.
Who did you make
this for, Charlie?
Well, I imagine if you're here,
you've already figured
out the answer to that.
Grandma only found four rings,
and she commissioned
you to make the fifth.
This one.
Five gold rings.
It flows better.
Molly told me all about the
quest she was sending you on,
and how she hired
you to help Audrey.
Nice job.
And the fifth owner is?
Me.
Grandma.
Thank you, Charlie,
for helping her.
And me.
My pleasure.
Merry Christmas.
Yeah.
Five rings before Christmas.
You did it, Audrey.
We did it, Finn.
And the last ring
she had made for me.
Oh, it's beautiful.
What a story.
What a lady Molly was.
To Molly Miller.
- To Molly.
- To Molly Miller.
To Lady Sinterklaas.
It's an inside joke.
All right, who's ready for
some homemade apple pie
and a movie?
That sounds wonderful.
Kay, a fellow could
sure get used to this.
Is that so?
Well, then, how's dinner
next Friday night,
just the two of us?
Are you serious?
Don't I look serious?
- I'll be here.
- OK.
Finn, want to help
me with the pie?
Yeah.
Why don't you take
everybody downstairs,
and get the movie ready?
- OK.
OK.
Oh, would you get me a
pie knife in that drawer?
Sure.
Audrey, there's a gift in here.
Really?
Who for?
I'm speechless.
You like it?
Like is not the word
I'd use to describe it.
Thank you.
- Merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas.
So, uh,
listen, I have some news.
Did Molly leave you
another challenge
that needs to be
finished by New Year's?
No, that's not my news.
My news is
I've decided to move
back to Springside
from wherever it is I live.
Manhattan.
That's the one.
Yeah, my mom and I are
gonna expand the business.
Miller Timeless Antiques
and Fine Art.
I'm still out of words.
When did you decide this?
Well, it's been building.
But when we finished the quest,
I realized my grandma
had brought me back
to what really matters.
It's my art. It's my home.
It's...
Yeah, it's you.
