the cognitive skills are working that's good where am I well you are in Hopedale the fine state of Vermont I've never heard of Hopedale I didn't think so I'm the only doctor here in this small town I figured we would have crossed paths by now listen more importantly can you tell me anything about yourself no it's too bad your name wasn't a Bret on your shirt huh sorry that was a bad joke just do you have any idea what's going on with me why can't I remember anything well I don't know right now but uh I'm going to guess that judging from the little cut on your head that you've suffered some sort of post-traumatic memory loss now it's okay don't panic okay you didn't have a concussion and the memory loss normally doesn't last that long I I I should have had a purse a some sort of ID um a phone you we can go to my my recent call you didn't have a bag or phone when I found you this morning just the clothes you were wearing hello again I'm the sheriff we met earlier yes I I I remember that thank you for your help this morning no problem listen uh if there's anybody out there looking for you Kevin is going to find them just excuse this for a moment will be back okay I thought this kind of thing only happened in the movies no it's a real thing all right but as I mentioned to her it shouldn't last that long so you have no idea where she's from unfortunately no no one's been reported missing in the area it's like she just dropped out of the sky into our little town wow guess you got your work cut out for you huh actually you mind have ask her a few more questions you know she's actually been through a lot right let's just leave it for whatever you say Doc in the meantime I'll go follow missing person support and see what we can find okay I'll see you later hi hi I I I don't understand I know who all these celebrities are but I I can't remember a single detail about my life you are going to be just fine all right your memory will come back soon how long is soon well best case scenario a day or two worst case scenario uh could be a week a week okay don't get upset you're only going to make it worse all right I just need you to relax okay okay so what if what happens next what do I um do I get a cast a sling did you break anything I don't think so okay then no huh tell you what uh a lollipop thanks look I was just going to get you some scrubs that you can change into if you like uh hope the shoes fit that's my nurses I'll leave you with that okay oh actually what should I call you huh I just I was thinking probably give you a name you know oh right uh yeah that makes sense Cheryl that work uh I I I don't really feel like a Cheryl um this is going to be a lot harder than I thought how about how about Elizabeth Elizabeth nice to meet you please to meet you too Dr Ken take it down great not only do I feel strange but now I look strange as well I promise I won't tell my nurse who said that oh right I'm sorry I didn't mean to I'm kidding sorry I was kidding there was a reason I wanted to bring you into town so soon after your injury though the quicker that we can expose you to images you may recognize the fast your memory will return so what do you think look around what do you see does anything ring the bell uh I see a post office yeah a gazebo a banner that says fall fast but nothing's ringing a bell okay stop for a sec take a deep breath close your eyes let you smile I think I smell apple pie cinnamon and a fire burning off in the distance that's that's good does that remind you of anything yeah my mother I don't remember much but I I know she used to bake pies this time of year it's good you feel better yeah a little thanks back hey Jimmy you need a hand with that nah this is about as close as I get to the gym these days hey there Jimmy Daniels I'd shake your hand but I'm afraid these boxes wouldn't survive the fall nice to meet you my name is Elizabeth Elizabeth right uh is this your store sure is Booker's been in my family for over 70 years hey want to come in look around you know what we're just going to head to the diner but we'll come back after ah well feel free to drop by anytime good to meet you Elizabeth nice to meet you everybody seems so friendly around here yeah that's small town living for you nice this can I get you a coffee you're really comfortable around here huh first job I ever had was right here at my parents Diner actually that gazebo you saw earlier that's where they got married post office you saw that's where I found out I got into medical school so yeah you can say I know my way around this place come sit down sit here can get some food if you want hi honey oh hello make yourselves comfortable Elizabeth these are my parents Bob and Jane this is Elizabeth Hi how are you hi sweetheart so where are you from well actually your son and I are both trying to figure that out right now yeah Elizabeth is having a little trouble with her memory Sheriff gain found her walking alone on the highway this morning all by herself and you can't remember anything before that no so were you planning to stay while you're in town oh I hadn't even thought about that is there a is there a hotel or something nearby oh I'm afraid our hotel is full of tourists this time of year don't be silly you can stay with Jeff she can sure you've got that beautiful guest house that never gets used oh no I wouldn't want to impose on you and on your family it's just Jeff and the kids it's no trouble at all no you know what it's probably not such a bad idea head injury no one keep my eye on you as long as it's not an imposition then sure sorry about this kids were supposed to be here by now oh that's okay I don't mind waiting hi Dad hey guys where you been fishing on the dock I got four all by myself that's impressive Alex but there not an excuse for being lay right uh dad you do know there's a woman sitting in our truck don't mind to him hi I'm Emily do you work with my dad guys this is Elizabeth all right she's uh patient of mine she's going to be staying with us for a little while in our house well she's going to be in the guest house she's having difficult time remembering some things and we are going to help her okay okay so you lost your memory that's incredible well I'll tell you what doesn't feel very incredible right now Emily how was your day pretty good I I got picked to write a onea play for Fall Fest it's not a big deal what come on are you kidding me that's a huge deal congrats honey Fall Fest is an all day celebration of the seasons we have it every year to raise money for a kids school it's pretty awesome there's games every kind of food and matchable and there's a really cool Ferris wheel wow that sounds great favorite day of the Fall Right kids yep and you got picked to put up a play for the entire town yeah but I'm worried since I only have 2 weeks to ride it well I'm sure you'll rise up to the challenge you should come if you're still here for Fall Fest honey it's 12 days from now yeah I mean as much as I would love to see her play I'm pretty sure my memory will be back and I'll be home okay it's beautiful out here it's amazing isn't it you I never get tired of watching the seasons change it looks like one of those pictures you rip out of a travel magazine and you say I want to go there someday you know it's funny sometimes I wish I would have stayed in the city after my residency and experienc the chaos of it all then days like this I realize made the right decision wait is this home sweet home I'm going to go empty the dishwasher I'm going to go clean my room okay I thought kids were supposed to hate doing their chores oh don't be fool they're only doing it to get today's Wi-Fi password I change it every day and give it to them once they finish their chores wow that seems brilliant and disturbing all at the same time come on yeah it's not easy raising two kids on your own so I hope Alex wasn't bothering you with his third degree earlier oh no of course not I mean I'm I'm a strange woman in hospital scrubs I'd be curious too yeah there mom passed away a few years ago so he gets a little overprotective of me yeah of course that makes sense I'm sorry about your wife thanks here let me uh show you around wait hold on a second what is this oh yeah you have a canoe I do used to be my grandfathers unfortunately I've neglected her over the years though I don't understand your kids do their chores when they're supposed to your property seems meticulously organized and yet you have this amazing 1930 suiv a Model D just sitting here in disrepair how do you know so much about canoes oh you know what I have no idea it's probably a good sign right it is a good sign it'd be a great sign if you could connect to tachel Memories but if you continue to have those your memory will be back in no time okay well at least I'm starting with the really important stuff like old canoes come on let me show you around okay sorry if it's a little Dusty in here we don't we don't get many guests but no it's lovely thank you I think I can take it from here Dad okay great it's all yours you know you can join us for dinner tonight or no if you're too tired you could just go to sleep yeah wow he's even weirder than usual it's nice having you here the only other girl that comes over is my Aunt Linda and she always tries to take me shopping for dresses and makeup and I don't really care about that stuff what kind of stuff are you into I love books fiction mostly oh so you must spent a lot of time in that bookstore I saw in town are you kidding it's like one of my favorite places maybe we can go before you leave yeah yeah that would be [Music] great okay that's my quue see you in the morning thank you bye [Music] you have almost reached Angela young please leave a message and I will call you back Cynthia that's like the fifth time you tried calling her since she left town a couple days ago aren't you the one who said she'd contact us when she's ready to come home like she always does no you're right I just wanted to make sure she's okay I still can't believe she decided to take a vacation the day before the movie premiere I know Angela That's what she does when she gets stressed out mhm oh but look on the bright side you can always look forward to attending the sequel in a couple years well I do like the sound of that so where do you think she went this time ooh if I had to guess I'd say she's hiding out at some spa resort on the cape somewhere you know anything to forget her real life for a while well it's a good thing she's got us to keep her real life going are you sure I can't help nope I think I got it all covered here so you go ahead and sit down all right hey Elizabeth would you like to play a game later we have a whole closet of them dad has to go to a town hall meeting so he can't play with us guys Elizabeth has had a rough couple days so we are going to let her get some rest okay actually you'd be amazed what 10 hours of sleep can do for you okay well that's good to hear all right pancakes this is one of my favorite dishes right Dad isn't this the only dish you know how to cook okay come on you guys I'm sure I'll love it I'm starving can I eat three Elizabeth gets first serving she's Our Guest that's right thank you Emily are you going to wear the same Hospital clothes the entire time they're called scrubs right Dad yes they are I promise I'm going to get new clothes the minute I get a chance you know something I'd really like to join you to that town hall meeting if if that's okay okay I mean I was thinking you might need a little more rests today though oh any more rests and I'll never get out of that bed last thing about the pumpkin carving competition we still need volunteers for registration and judging oh sign me up and Bob too I thought we were taking it easy this year Janie when you rest you're R was a real Spitfire you have no idea okay shifting to new business Jeffrey why don't you start yeah thank you uh hey everyone I'm sure most of you have heard by now that we have a new visitor in town I want you to say hello to Elizabeth please now she's having some trouble with her memory we hope it's going to come back soon but in the meantime Sheriff Gaines and I hoping that everybody here could help us cast a wider net that's right I've been in touch with the other departments from the surrounding area but nothing's come up yet which is where you guys come in I have a couple thousand Instagram followers we could post a pick and see if anyone recognizes her that's a great idea Wendy let's do that here Elizabeth let me take a photo oh god seriously bright are you okay yeah yeah I think so you sit down you know uh maybe that's enough for now okay thanks thanks Wendy skipping Stones I haven't done that since I was a kid well then you're seriously messing out want to try sure ooh only two bounces huh oh I'm sorry I didn't realize that this was competition come on here we go three good one you okay just frustrated nothing I'm doing is helping me bring my memory back you know I was doing some research this morning and apparently some people find it helpful to write down their experiences it helps them kind of jog their memories anyway I uh how about you this journal thank you welcome you know I also just wanted to check your vitals a house call at your actual house house I'm impressed he just look at me for a sec okay that hurt at all no no okay let me see your hand for a sec give me a rest heart rate is a little fast but that should normalize by morning I'm just go check your eyes here okay okay looks great I mean yeah everything looks good so you just relax enjoy your time and check out again in the morning okay thanks [Music] St don't worry we're going to get you home in the meantime we are happy to have you here sir thank you [Music] hi uh sorry I'm late I had to change did I miss breakfast good morning no I left you a plate right there on top of the stove don't worry about being late I'm definitely not a stickler about time right kids yeah right Dad no comment so any luck with your memory this morning uh nope not yet apparently my brain's late too so listen we're going to head into town Emily's going to go to the library to work on her play and Alex is going to hang out with my parents at the diner do you want to catch a ride in with us it's probably better than hanging around here all day um yeah sure went out bye dad we'll meet you at the diner at 5 okay sounds good you make sure you get Alex to anas right yeah okay okay are you sure you're going to be okay by yourself you're more than welcome to come down hang out at the office if you want oh uh no thanks I think I'm going to head over to the library and do some more research see what comes to me okay you know just so you know um Kevin the sheriff you met yesterday he's doing all that he can for you as well I know I just I could barely sleep last night thinking that there could be somebody out there looking for me as we speak completely understand but again I could also be a recluse that lives alone somewhere oh I doubt that either way I just I feel like I need to do something okay well good luck and if you need to pick up anything afterwards you can find them on these two blocks you got my office down there thrift store Farmers Market great okay well I'll take it from here okay sounds good yeah oh except uh I don't have any money I'm sorry I swear I'll I'll I'll pay you back you know what don't even worry about it you go thanks hey you never know maybe I'll find out that I'm an aist to a great Fortune I'm going to go out on a limit say probably not you know now that's true you know what I don't care if you even have a dime at your name I just want to make sure you get home Amen to that okay see you later good [Music] bye hey you're the woman who lost her memory aren't you yeah yes we're travel fast around here oh I I actually took your photo at Town Hall oh right hi I'm Wendy I'm I'm Elizabeth hi is there anything I can do to help oh you're sweet I um I've been online for hours but I think I've officially run out of things to search for yeah how can you search for yourself when you don't even know your name or where you came from yeah exactly I think I just need a little break what are you working on I'm starting College in the fall so I have to fill out all these housing forms online oh that's great yeah what school Emerson for communications the campus is literally in the heart of Boston is Bost everything okay hi yeah yeah yeah I uh I just realized I have to be somewhere good luck with school thanks hey uh do you uh any news on Elizabeth not yet sent her DNA to the lab in Concord but that won't be ready for a week doesn't make any sense does it she's been missing 4 days no one's looking for her well it could be a bunch of reasons maybe she lives alone yeah I was thinking about that but then you know what about like family your friends or co-workers well it's anybody's guess at this point let's just give it some time yeah I guess it makes sense I'm just you know trying to figure it out yeah I [Music] noticed hey Emily how's it going not that great I can't seem to figure out how to turn my story into a play for Fall Fest oh well maybe I can help what's it about well it's set in a school and the lead is a popular 13-year-old girl named Aaron who loses a pair of concert tickets for a show that evening in order to find the tickets she has no choice but to ask for the help of several classmates who she's never even talked to before she doesn't end up finding the tickets but she does end up with two new best friends I like it so she ends up gaining more than she loses huh well in other words the concert would have only lasted her one night but the friendships could end up lasting her a lifetime oh yes that's it so in order to set up the story you can have a scene where you show Aaron and her popular friends not speaking so kindly about the two students who end up helping her that way we can quickly explain where all the characters stand and at the end I can maybe have a scene where Aaron defends her new friends from the popular ones I think you might be a natural at this and who knows you might be a theater teacher in your real life well I'm actually headed to the thrift shop for a new wardrobe so I'm really hoping I'm a fashion designer you want to come with me in case I'm wrong sure that would be [Music] fine uh-huh that's different Emily you're allowed to speak your mind promise you won't hurt my feelings I know but I want you to buy what you like you're the one who's going to be wearing it it's a good point but I still want your opinion what I don't get an opinion hey Dad hey hello Dr Callen are you checking up on us I just finished working the clinic early was walking by I saw you girls in the window and thought you know since I have such an amazing sense of style yeah right Dad what something tells me you're stretching the truth there Dr Callen maybe just a little well good since you're here we're going to put you to work maybe you can help us decide what my new work should be great okay look at this how about that Dad are you kidding Elizabeth would never wear something like that yeah Emily's right I don't know what my identity is but it doesn't invol that suit right okay well how about the three of us split up and meet back at the change rooms in like 10 minutes okay sounds like a plan sounds good [Music] good yeah yeah too much uh or actually know maybe it's a little too much oh that's nice but it is pretty pretty shiny yeah I don't think so I think this is it I love it wow it's uh it it looks really good it's it's nice [Music] okay what's for dinner meatloaf from the diner Nana's secret recipe it's not really a secret Dad Nana tells everyone in that recipe now right okay well I guess I stand corrected well secret or not smells delicious Alex bud can you turn the TV off for me please oh no worries I got it okay thank you did you guys put the utensils out superstorm you got to get us out of here I'm trying to get the crystal isn't working we better figure something out cuz we don't have much [Music] time please just help us once [Music] more okay I am I think I just had a a memory from my real life but I don't know how to connect the dots okay you're putting so much pressure on yourself without realizing that you've been through a trauma so what do I do my suggestion is you stop trying so hard to remember and trust that it will all come back to you you're not just saying that to make me feel better are you you might be a therapist in your real life but I'm a practicing MD in this one now let's just go sit down and enjoy dinner okay okay give me a minute thank you hey guys is everything okay yeah everything's fine everything's fine everybody got one here [Music] yeah what we did [Music] to we went to the thrift store lucky and what is the arc again it's basically the emotional journey of your lead character over the course of the play so it's when I take a character from being mean to compassionate by the end of the story yeah that's right you got it this is so helpful good I'm glad hey what are you guys doing up Sly hey Dad Elizabeth is helping me with my play for Fall Fest ah she didn't wake you did she no no I was up okay has Prince Alex graced us with his presence yet not yet but I heard him playing video games this morning okay Alex time for breakfast Bud hey are you sure you're okay taking these two cuz I can drive them down drop them off with oh no it's the least I can do well you say that now but wait till you try to get him to do well anything we'll be fine all right well this is my cell phone work number if you need my dad he'll be here within minutes okay this is very professional Dr Dr Callen you mean annoyingly organized I prefer responsible whatever whatever you you just be good all right okay you knowwhere to reach me okay [Music] okay hey what's up looks like we have the whole day together what do you want to do okay well you're obviously busy I just came by to see if you wanted to help me out with this secret mission I'm about to start but um we can each do our own thing today if you want what what kind of secret [Music] mission this is a secret project yeah it's a surprise for your dad all she needs is some oil some varnish should a few holes patched sounds like a lot of work to me well it won't be easy but if we work together we can get this done in no time you know what the best part is it's great for fishing really mhm unless you have to get back to your video game nah the game can wait great okay all right go around that [Music] way that sounds terrific so when do you think we can expect a new outline from Angela oh uh I'd say probably within a few weeks great because if the film takes off the demand for the next book will be extraordinary amazing and not to worry Angela knows this is a top priority thank you guys so much for coming in appreciate it thank you thanks good to see you love those glasses amen I trust you that was a pleasure thank you thank you see you later bye bye Brad it's been 4 days without any communication she has never gone this long without talking to me wait aren't you the one who said stop woring Brad she just needs some time alone I think we should go to the police Cynthia s calm down she's fine okay and actually we're getting a lot more work done without her I'm sorry but I cannot keep pretending like it's business as usual okay I hear you I I hear you how about this how about if we don't hear anything in the next 48 hours we go to the police but until then let's just assume that she's at a relaxation Spa somewhere getting a seaweed wrap or [Applause] [Music] something so I'm curious why did you guys stop using the canoe I remember my dad and mom used to take it out on the L to watch the sunsets maybe it just reminds him of her too much yeah that must have been a really tough time for everybody yeah our n and Grandpa stayed a lot back then and I remember we made lots of cookies well hopefully the surprise will do the trick yeah he's going to love it well we've been working on it for 3 days he better love it hey any uh new developments and Elizabeth actually I was following up on a missing person's lead out of Tallahassee but turned out to be someone else but for now you and the kids like having her at the house right yeah now she's been great this morning she was helping Emily with her play and Alex well Alex hasn't put her in a closet yet so that's a good thing right yeah yeah I'd say that's progress yeah I tell you though man it's crazy ever since she's been staying with us it's like we're just happier than we've been in a long time you know what's so crazy about that that's a good thing I know that's the problem I worry about the kids you know when she' eventually has to leave Jeff you and I go way back take my advice don't worry about it so much just enjoy the time you do have with her you're right you're right and besides right she's got some friends and family out there that are looking for her right now and that's a good thing so yeah thanks buddy watch your step this is a little dramatic don't you think are you kidding it's not nearly dramatic enough for what you're about to see okay why do I get the feeling I'm about to walk into the talking doctor all right keep your eyes closed okay on the count of three don't look one two three [Music] surprise wow it's pretty cool right Dad oh no you don't like it oh I shouldn't have done any of this I'm I'm so sorry no it's it's it's beautiful it's exactly like when my grandfather brought it home for the first time well it turns out I probably know quite a bit about canoes in my real life but honestly I could not have done it without Emily and Alex this brings back so many memories well maybe it's time for you to make some new ones why don't you take Alex out for her first test drive when you say bud you want to do that yeah okay but you got to go next with me okay okay all right should I go get the life jackets do that I'll come with you thank [Music] you it is beautiful out here huh son yeah oh man I miss being out here that's for sure they look pretty good out there huh yeah they look happy yeah see that Spa right over there uh-huh that's where your uncle Jordan and I got stuck when we were kids what really yeah got in trouble that day I like it here Dad yeah me too [Music] son whoa you see that fish jump where right [Music] there okay oh this is beautiful Emily what does this remind you of the picnic at Fisher Co exactly remember that we the ants all over our sandwiches oh my gosh we ate cookies for lunch that was the best okay for the record we don't normally get to eat cookies for lunch but it was a last resort oh don't worry I believe you Dr Kellen what's that supposed to mean well you just seem like a predictably by the books kind of guy that's all okay first of all I am not a by the books kind of guy oh really what I can be spontaneous yeah right Dad what I can okay okay why don't you prove it okay I will what now mhm okay um all right you ready for this whoa dad dad what are you doing where you going no way you're just kidding right what are you doing no way he's just kidding [Music] [Laughter] oh my gosh you see I must admit the water was a lot colder than I expected well it was worth it just to see the look on the kids faces it's true you know thank you so much for the canoe I mean that was really incredible it was just really nice to be out in the water today well maybe you should take a little bit more of your own advice now relax a little have more fun all right here give me your phone why because we are going to capture this moment we're not going to think of the past or the future what do you say it's do okay a it's cute see a nice you know I I I know I've said this before but thank you again for allow me into your home I'll never forget this Jeff what it's just you've never called me Jeff before it's always been Dr Kellen oh I'm sorry no no no it's fine it just it just took me by surprise but it's it's good I liked it what are you thinking I don't know you're probably going to think this is crazy but for the first time since the accident maybe I don't want to remember is that weird no I was thinking the same thing [Music] well this is me y oh here let me give you your jacket oh no no you uh you keep it I know where to find you thanks again for today Jeff I honestly wouldn't change a thing me neither [Music] dad can I grab a snack before bed Alex it's past your bed yeah I'll be right in okay I should probably go yeah of course sleep well you too [Music] hey hi Elizabeth can I talk to you about something yeah sure what's up here's the thing I like you the kids like you that's obvious but first and foremost I your doctor you are my patient and as long as that is the case I have a code of ethics that I live by which includes not getting romantically involved with anyone under my care right yeah oh I I I agree 100% good that's great good okay yeah yeah I mean as as we both know I could have a boyfriend or a husband who knows I may even have kids of my own mhm yeah that's that's true well good so it's settled from now on we'll just keep everything very professional yeah it's just I think that's probably for the best you know yeah yeah so I assume you're going to go to work yeah I'll uh I'll stay here and I'll I'll help the kids with fallfest yeah good that sounds great all is

as a doctor of course you know I wanted to get her memory back so she can find her family I do but and maybe it's selfish there's this little part of me that doesn't want her to leave what isn't selfish and you're the most professional person in this town it's from your heart and I haven't heard you speak like this in a long time this wasn't supposed to happen I don't know where these feelings came from well putting aside your concerns as your doctor maybe it's time you shared your feelings with Elizabeth even if she does end up leaving at least she'll know where you stand H and

okay here I have a copy oh HQ sent me up here last minute to help with the launch are you ready to help me make the store hit by Christmas yeah yeah but I'm not sure about anybody else people around here and exactly thrilled about about hgs opening up in hon Springs another reason why I'm here I saw the market research there's some resistance will need to overcome but if there's one thing I know how to do let get people in the door I hope so cuz we open in two hours and trust me people of Hudson Springs will come around when they realize our wide selection and low low prices can't be beat you know he that exactly like the commercial yeah what's going for follow me zier uh what's all this our first sales promotion Christmas trees you know it let's set up the tree pen over here 50 by 5050 should do it hey can you line up the trees by size small medium large and jumbo wow uh those prices are so uh low trees are a proven loss leader they're bringing the customers sales go up corporate's happy we look like Heroes I don't think that's going to work yeah it works all the time Cru and spread Chey let's put a dozen inflatable trees out front the ones that light up and we're can I set up home base saer um hey so nice to see I've got a cookie for you and some cider hello there got some hot cider Joy thank you very much oh my goodness gracious good Jessica Jessica we can't pay the bills with farm animals nobody likes free hot dogs I like free hot dogs it's a tree just pick one and come on into the store come on I don't get it route 12's flowing in traffic nobody shots for Christmas trees around here we do but mostly from local farms where you can pick your own tree like my friends of Robert's family they own a farm 3 miles down the road and grow the trees right on property you know I've been going there ever since I was a kid I can still remember the first time I helped my dad cut our very own Christmas tree cut like with a saw yeah cuz that sounds incredibly oldfashioned why didn't you tell me about this before about my childhood well the farm Xavier oh you didn't ask this Robert's Farm it's not in the marketing research all right where you going well people around here would rather buy their trees from some Farm than enjoy the low cost inconvenience of a pre-cut Tre I need to know why [Music] need a hand love one thanks nice looking tree they all are here whoa nice comes with a price it's a once a year thing kids love it I just wish I didn't have to haul at home they don't deliver small farm guess they don't have the Manpower thanks again for the help have a happy holidays you too so when when you were born your mom and dad planted a sapling in our Grove and guess what what now that tree is all grown up just like you except it's grown into a big beautiful Christmas tree Isn't that cool yeah do you still have the slip number I've been keeping it safe for eight years a okay so this one is a five rows across and six R's back and if you have any trouble finding it at all come find me let's go yay have fun there you go enjoy cider let me know if you need anything oh my gosh I am so sorry are you okay I'm fine are you sure I'm okay really okay are aren't you supposed to yell timber when you chop down a tree nobody really does that wish I had known but at least I can take a salted by a Christmas tree off my bucket list now well in that case you're welcome I'm clay oh um Jessica oh you have a little p needle in your hair thanks so I take it you are not from around here not even close New York this is New York sorry I made the city at Manhattan just checking out some oral spots well you have come to the right place because this Farm is the place in Hudson Springs during the holiday I can see [Music] that excuse me my boss sure clay it's Marca I'm watching the video feed from the store and it's not exactly bustling would you agree a slow start I know but uh Hudson Springs is a bit oldfashioned I'll need a little more time to win people over Jessa oh we're having a little trouble finding our tree oh sure um let me uh let me just see your slip number here okay yeah this way maybe our market research wasn't exactly accurate I need you to do your own on the ground Recon hang around Supermarket I'm already on it what I like [Music] to [Music] hey better than free hot dogs boss little marketing research goes a long way had a couple of college kids home for the holidays working for tips and we have our army you are a marketing Maestro I'm just getting warmed up uh BL us second part of my plan they're here to interview you uh me I I I you're the face of Hudson Springs new HS store right yeah few talking points make sure you mention the free delivery okay don't be nervous it'll be great yeah excuse me a sec yeah Clay yeah how are you thank you for coming yeah free delivery free [Music] delivery hey how come Xavier didn't show he never miss his opening day I don't know he didn't text me back is he still looking for a job we should just hire him Scott I know are payrolls stretch thin enough as it is hi I am proud to be of the Harvest team here at the new location on rout savior are of locals and not mention a wide and supplies you have got to be kidding me oh no I'm not kidding Xavier Norris manager Harvest guard suppli say it right there on the TV yes thank you yeah for pointing that out I can't believe he didn't show me this what a traitor come on you can't blame the poor guy Ian he's been looking for a job for ages for our grand opening we are giving away free hot dogs and balloons for the kids and not to mention um free deliveries for all of our Christmas trees okay well I would have hired him if I knew he was just going to stab Us in the back like this maybe listen to your big sis next time so come on down and see for yourself har is all about you heard the man exciting stuff going on down here at Route 12 why would City Hall let a Superstore like Harvest set up in Hudson spring it's the way of the world big chain stores are just popping up everywhere yeah and putting mom and pop operations like ours out of business look I'm sure there are plenty of customers to go around how are you not more worried about this a lot of our customers have to drive past that atrocity to get here look our farm is special to people we make memories that matters our customers are not going to stop coming here just to save a few bucks you're right you know I'm right She's a Beauty enjoy her happy holidays are you uh noticing anything different today um you shaved talking about the farm it's not exactly bustling so it's a weekday always slower on the weekday no we had 25% more customers on the same weekday last year only difference now is Harvest Garden Supply is 3 mes down the road and they sell trees too I'm sure it is just a coincidence but everybody knows we have the best trees period hey let's go or we'll be late if I know anything it is Hudson Springs and Christmas trees we'll be fine we'll be fine we'll now open the meeting up to public comments mayor Barnes I I thought this new Big Box store was supposed to fix everything now we we can't even afford Santa's Village I mean what am I supposed to tell my kids look I am disappointed about Santa's Village too this is just going to take time hgs will bring people from all over our our County and those tax dollars are going to flow into this city this time next year will'll see us with an amazing Christmas spectacle like this town has never seen we got to say something what do you mean we mayor Barnes uh Delany wson hey as as you know I work over at the Robert's Farm also side note my band later alligator plays every Tuesday night at Riley's with love to see you all there come check us out now many of you know my best friend [Music] Jessica now she has something to say about this whole Harvest Garden Stitch I do yes you do I do I do um mayor Barnes I understand why by Council approved a Superstore in Hudson Springs I do we need jobs especially now but I think what Bob is trying to say is how important the spirit of Christmas is to the folks of Hudson Springs people from our County and Beyond visit us because of how special our community is our mom and pop businesses go above and beyond to make make the holidays so magical so regardless of the bottom line Council has to support our community's holiday efforts we have to ensure that our mom and pop businesses our families and our neighbors survive to next year yeah enough Superstores like hgs am I right yeah oh sorry oh it's you clay right nice to see you again Jessica the last cookie is yours I couldn't I insist it's the least I can do for almost taking you out with Christmas tree I have a crazy idea Timber so what brings you here work I'm uh here for a while on a project I'm at the Town Hall oh uh I wanted to get a feel for Hudson Springs see who its Rovers and shakers are are these meetings always so Lively almost never I run my family's business so I like to come to stay informed oh yeah what business is that Jess what do you think oh hello there hi I'm quiet Delany am I interrupting okay what do you think about a countywide my boycott of harvest you know powered people Stick it to the Man maybe if no one shops there they'll just shut down and leave do those things actually work hell yeah does unless Harvest has enough funds to ride it out well we're not spending a dime at that corporate atrocity am I right you guys right I should get going um it was nice running into you again you too something you want to tell me no you want to share anything nope nothing just happened just now I didn't see anything [Music] happen she's gorgeous this was one of the first trees my dad planted when he started this grow 30 years ago in a way putting it outside the Train Museum will be like a tribute to him a wonderful idea folks around here sure miss him me too send me over an estimate that I can get it's just a formality Ah that's a relief with all the budget cuts lately I was worried I am doing my best to keep a few of the town's Traditions the bean counters at City Hall know that it's just not the holidays without a tree from the Roberts Farm to light up our Museum I couldn't agree more thank you Miss mayor thank you [Music] oh here let me help you with those oh thank you that's very nice no problem at all um yeah my car is right here so I'm new in town is this the best market around here well it should be I've been I've been coming here for 40 years really yep seems a little pricey compared to the big and save by the highway that store is huge I can't find a darn thing plus everybody knows me here ah must be nice checkout clerk at my local market back home always acts like he's never seen me before where's Home For You New York City I'm here chill around Christmas for work well alone in a new place at the holidays that can't be easy that's the job you seem too nice to be from the city we're having a little tree trimming and I'd love for you to join us it's very kind of you off but I wouldn't want to impose oh small town Hospitality honey you would not be imposing it would be fun to meet a real husand Springs family well so come on over no just livep down the road and you can follow me in my car okay sure sounds good all right hey how come Xavier didn't show uh cuz I didn't invite him what after what he did Scott it's tradition yeah I'm home and I brought a new friend this young man was helping me with my groceries and we just started chatting and oh I didn't even get your name it's Clay from Manhattan oh you two know each other we met a couple times I think this makes a third right chess no what an amazing coincidence okay well just take these groceries and you just take them into the kitchen I can't remember the last time my whole family did something together like this even at the holidays used to but over the years everyone got so busy work and travel it's impossible to get us all together a that's a shame yeah it is how long have you had the farm uh my grandfather bought this land 80 years ago and my Dad ran this place until he passed the spring sorry thanks we are doing everything we can to try to keep this place running from what I saw the other day you're doing quite well we're getting by but you know Family Farms are a Dying Breed and each year seems to get harder than the last and now that horrible Harvest Superstores wearing customers away using gim Mi like cheap trees and free delivery you don't offer free delivery seems like something people would want yeah but we'd have to hire more people maybe we shouldn't what uh what kind of business are you in clay me oh uh marketing uh finding ways to attract customers is my forte oh sounds like we should hire you yeah that's an excellent idea right you I'm sure clay has more import things to do than help us out with our little farm honestly I wish I could but Plate's overloaded as it is sounds to me like this is the first time you've ever faced some real competition yeah good news is people around here know and trust your brand so my advice would be to up your game get creative yeah but how we don't have Harvest Deep Pockets anyone can throw money at a problem but if you're creative you don't need to spend big bucks to get people to shop here you could be right feel free to bounce ideas off me anytime isn't that nice of you to offer isn't it chess yes yes it is it's it's very nice thank you clay do you have your Christmas tree yet uh I do not okay let's go please excuse my mom she is a little nosy but she means well she's so sweet and I envy the closeness you all have I've forgotten how nice being around family at the holidays can be well in case you hadn't noticed we love Christmas me too but it's been a long time since I've really felt the holiday spirit maybe this year it'll be different so do you see a tree you like I probably shouldn't get one my hotel room's pretty cramped as it is oh come on what better way to get into the holiday spirit than a Christmas tree in your room I think the Fire Marshall might disagree with you but uh okay that one ah a fine Choice oh no no no it's on the house I mean Farm just consider it a thank you for all the business advice and for almost taking you out with that tree you sure yes just don't tell my brother I'll have it sent over tomorrow thought you don't deliver as of tonight we do anything to compete right let me guess that'll be your delivery truck most likely yes H my Dad loved that truck he named it Sheila after my grandma Sheila I promised him I would take care of it and the farm this place means a lot to you yeah well all of my favorite memories growing up happened here especially the ones with my dad he taught me everything I know about farming and livestock and agriculture I am determined to keep this Farm going so how are you liking Hudson Springs I haven't really had a chance to explore much yet but I like it so far I'm glad do you think maybe you could give me a local stour of the town sometime I mean if you're not too busy no I I suppose I could yeah and you're new to town you should see the town yeah uh Friday night at 7 works for me perfect great thanks again for the night of course [Music] here's your tree delivered freely thanks to you till Friday Jessica Jessica Roberts delivering a tree to a guy and giving him a tour I must say I'm impressed I'm just being welcoming he's new to town and and he seemed kind and and smart oh okay okay he's cute too I I think it was sweet of him to give us that advice on how to compete with Harvest so I am just showing him around town sure it's not a date or anything it is so a date not a date huge date not a date yeah Jessica Roberts seriously you do realize that that her Farm is our main competition of course I do now I honestly had no idea that was her Farm until I walked into their house and there she was I mean what are the odds okay so what did she say when you told her you work at hgs oh no you didn't tell her I wanted to really I did but I was having such a good time getting to know her and her family I just couldn't find the right moment she's going to be so mad or maybe she'll have such an amazing time in our date she'll see it's only business and not who I [Laughter] am oh you're serious yeah no uh you don't know the Robert's family like I do you have to tell her soon I know I will so if it isn't Benedict Sherman um okay hi to you too but You' be so kind Sherman to explain exactly why you do a puff past on harvest grand opening instead of our Town's local retailers yeah tipping the scales for a national chain is hardly fair we thought it'd be a good story a new retail business comes to Hudson Springs creating jobs at the holidays how many Harvest gift cards do they bribe you with be honest none I swear well then that's great news right Jess that is great news that means you can do a piece on our farm for free and what is the newsworthy angle a feel-good story about a local establishment that's been spreading holiday cheer for decades in the county unlike Harvest you need to make this right Sherman I doubt my producer will go for it German shman German have you forgotten a certain favor I did for a certain classmate who could get a date to senior prom well I'm cashing in that favor now or I can share your story on your social media okay okay okay we'll make it happen today I will call my crew right now just put your phone away please were you bluffing did that look like a BL I have no idea I am just glad you were on my team always there is no better way to kick off the Hudson County holiday season than with a trip to the Roberts Family Farm for a homegrown Christmas tree this local treasure off Route 12 sells beautiful Christmas trees and has been providing the community with plants and garden supplies for three generations with me today is Jessica Roberts who runs the farm Jessica why is this year's Tree Farm especially meaningful to you well Sherman that is a great question uh my dad Hal ran this farm for over 30 years he loves that our Family Farm was spreading holiday cheer all across the county one tree at a time Christmas is a tradition around here and we need that in our community now more than ever right right she's good oh Jessica's more than good she's great I love their Farm as a kid I'm getting my tree there tomorrow what my dad always used to say we don't just sell trees we make memories and I feel the exact same way what a nice story oh oh and one more thing um I just think it's important for your uh viewers to know that small local businesses like our family farm are the life flood of our community we treat our customers like friends and neighbors because they are that new hgs it can't make the same claim do not fall for their gimmicks okay just called you out just come on down our family farm and even if you don't bu anything you'll have fun oh and mention Channel 4 and you'll get 10% off in other news as the year comes to a close the mayor of Hudson Springs announced today the city faces severe budget cuts it's our responsibility to spend wisely on our community's top priorities unfortunately that means scaling back on some of our holiday traditions this year as you can see Miss mayor we've hired over 30 sales associates so far all from Hudson County yeah I mean I was looking for a job for over 4 months never thought I'd be a manager in the HDs Superstore oh well that's fantastic we could certainly use more taxpayers and Shoppers around here saw that news story last night sounds Grim well everyone needs to tighten their belts especially City Hall she isn't always easy at the holidays that's why we at Harvest want to help follow me oh looks like the news story gave us the bump we needed at the right time 10 days before Christmas clay was right you can compete without much money Jessica it's for you it's the mayor's office oh mayor Barnes I was just about to call you when would you like the tree sent over well that's why I'm calling it's not going to work out this year I'm sorry what do you mean if it's the price we can work something out uh well another vendor donated a treat but I thought the tree we picked was perfect I'm sorry Jessica we're just too cash strapped to turn it down please don't take it personally hopefully next year we'll have the funds to be able to buy from you again I hope so too okay bye-bye don't look so glum it's Friday night and you've got a hot date to get ready for it is not a date it's a tour sure whatever with a cute guy who likes you come on Jessa Roberts is going out finally hey I date sometimes just not as often as you hey at least I try okay what about this you look like a park ranger I don't even know what that means it's not a compliment out of my way okay no no definitely not wow uh oh W this might just work honestly I know what to get you for Christmas really that shirt trust me keep the jeans swap the top okay yeah okay you look beautiful I mean you always do just in a different way tonight and uh I'm going to stop talking thank you for the compliment I mean before we go there's there's something you should know and the truth comes out you have a girlfriend what no a wife no four kids what I wanted to tell you is I'm not a fan of eggnog I mean some people love it you might be one of them nothing wrong with that I just I wanted to put it out there from the start thank you thank you for your honesty great can we go now clay for Manhattan [Music] every moment of every day is an opportunity to convert to convince to sell are that one of my business podcast no no leave it on I want to hear it every person you meet is a possible buyer Maybe not today or tomorrow but someday your contacts are your current this guy can't be serious everyone's buying or selling something even if they don't know it I don't know reducing everything to a transaction what about being a good person giving back to the community you can be successful in business and be a good person you're proe for that thanks I'd like to think so as for me I'm trying to make every day a win for the company but I'm also trying to contribute to the community here so that everybody benefits I can send you these podcasts if you want to stream so I actually prefer the clay cast Okay you love what you do it's cute okay so pick your tour uh you could have the official Hudson Springs tour featuring uh historical landmarks takes all of about 3 minutes or you can have the official Jessica Roberts tour featuring Jessica Roberts landmarks you pick the lad definitely excellent exellent Choice excellent choice my first date that was Brandon marks he took me to the Train Museum Christmas light up I was 16 it was great except for the fact that his parents came and stood behind us the entire time awkward yeah your mom's not following this is you no not likely it's a nice tradition a tradition we have for the first time in decades es we will not be using a tree from the Robert's family farm oh yeah someone donated a tree so the city doesn't need to buy it from us can't blame him for taking a free tree oh I know I had just hoped he use the first tree my dad ever planted in the Grove oh it would have been such a nice tribute to him seeing it all lit up the center of the community he loves so much so sorry that didn't work out me too evening clay yes how you doing fellas good you've been here a week and you already know Earl and Felix hard not to their friendship's expensive but I like those guys can I ask you something yeah how is it you're still single I I think every guy in Hudson Springs would be after you oh well I don't know about that um I don't know I guess my family and the farm have just always come first especially when my dad needed help managing everything I was happy to be here P sounds like you sacrificed a lot didn't feel like a sacrifice what about you no Big Apple lady snapped you up yet not yet uh I come from a family of Workaholics when uh we were kids my dad sat us all down and said kids money isn't everything it's the only thing yeah so we're hard climbing the corporate ladder has always been the priority long hours um traveling lot for work and an apartment I barely use except to sleep you sound like a lot of fun it's the big city way of life so I guess Hudson Springs must feel like such a culture shock to you at first slowing down a little has been good for me I'm seeing things I didn't realize I was missing fresh air trees conversations with a strong smart beautiful woman I bet you say that to all the farm girls are you hungry yes let's eat okay hi Jessica how you doing clay wait you're a regular already I've seen him every morning this week and most nights wow and here I was thinking I was taking you to someplace you'd never been sorry you just seem so excited to show me truth is I'm hooked on her coffee I might even have to have it Shi to New York I mean I why don't you two grab a seat I'll bring you a couple glasses of wine on the house wow even Dy likes you I'd like to make a toast today that tree that almost knocked me down if I hadn't I may never have met a to the tree and my negligence by the way I saw you on TV the other night oh no you did what you have a real screen presence oh really I was so nervous I mean I did get the message app and the Free Press definitely helped but we still need to up our game now there's a site Sherman hi this is clay clay oh I know Clay in fact we did a story together just last week oh but is there anybody in this town you don't know could see Sherman this meatloaf is delicious wow um it is really good to see you two rivals in peace talks enjoy your dinner okay thank you peace talks I didn't know we were at work so what was the story he did oh it was nothing oh come on tell me maybe I saw it clay promise you won't get mad why would I get mad okay he did a story for me about a Harvest Garden Supply what wait what you I I wanted to tell you before but just didn't seem like a good time and um you work for Harvest I'm a regional marketing director they send me into to launch certain stores you're funny that's a that's a really funny really bad joke I mean you and shman know each other somehow please tell me you're kidding I'm sorry you're sorry why didn't you tell me I wanted to really I did but you and Scott and especially your friend Delaney hate Harvest and I thought that if I told you the truth then you would never even give me a chance so you just omitted a pretty key part of yourself I just wanted to get to know you what for what so you could size up your competition what figure out our weaknesses so you could lure our customers away and beat us wow no that of course not would have you seemed kind and funny and smart let me get dinner I knew it was too good to be [Music] true I can't believe this guy I mean in our own house acting so polite and and giving us business advice that guy's got some nerve I just wish he was would have told me exactly instead of going on a date with you when he knew that it was our farm that he was stealing business from Mom and I we could tell that you were excited about him we're always hoping that you're going to be a great guy thanks me too I swear if if I see clay I'm going to you will do nothing Scott let's just focus on what we we have to do just like every see I told you she'd be mad it's not so much what she said but how she looked at me like I betrayed her felt terrible keeping the truth from her still do so what are you going to do I don't know can't change how she feels about Harvest hopefully I can change how she feels about me 2299 how is that even possible not even a Northeastern furm won't last two weeks F what you looking for uh no thank you I'm just browsing sorry about the other night you have every right to be upset should have told you the truth sooner but I didn't because I wanted you to like me for who I am instead of prejudging me for who I work for the Death Star you mean did you know that Harvest started out as a small Family Farm just like yours wilver Anderson the founder opened a small produce stand on a country road and Grew From There He had those same small town values that people around here share it's part of what appealed to me about the job building on his Underdog Story turning new customers into fans of a brand that is a fan club I want no part of you have every right to be cical but the competition between Harvest and your farm that's business this between us it's personal well it all feels the same to me I'm not trying to put you out of business I'm just trying to get people to shop at this store so we're competing big deal Embrace The Challenge and push yourself to win you sound like your podcast and I don't need your patronizing advice if you want to help us out stop selling trees I can't do that I put a lot of my budget into that tree lot brings people into the store that's my job selling lowgrade trees and foreign made gardening supplies how Noble our customers love a wide selection in low low prices but I didn't come here to debate the flimsy merits of the hgs business model I'm here to see what I'm up again so we can beat hgs and you I'll have to warn you I'm not one to lose but I wish you the best of luck anyway well you too that's a nice shirt very very good color on you oh uh I think it's [Music] lilac manager oh you've been working so hard to find a job being there for your family I'm so proud of you thanks Andy but uh yeah Scott sure isn't think you'll ever forgive me saavor honey Scott is navigating a whole new landscape of responsibilities at the farm now that Dad is gone and you are doing what is right for you and your future we're family oh you and Scott you're going to find your way just have a little patience thanks a concert yeah delany's band is playing to raise money for sprucing up the Train Museum Jessica thought it'd be good PR for our farm well as part of this family I would love to hang some up in the store that's great

falling for that corporate showell I don't know he seems sincere well what let the countdown begin in 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 [Applause] 1 morning morning what's this so I was right it was you and HTS that kept the town from buying my dad's tree sorry about that I was just trying to protect the Hudson Springs tradition I didn't know what it meant to your family or you honest benefit concert yeah we're raising money to spruce up the Train Museum it's looking a little rundown tree is nice but we wanted to do something lasting concert's a smart idea he said sarcastically no I mean it we get some new people walking around the farm exposure and doing good for the town it's a win-win so am I allowed to come to this it's a free country but if you do bring cash lots of [Music] it that tree donation was a solid PR move good job tree sales are up and so is everything else it's an improvement but it's a week before Christmas and the numbers still aren't where they need to be which is why I'm rolling out new reasons to come to hgs every day good we're counting on you clay I won't letay you down you're going to have a last telling I'm looking forward to it hey Scott Xavier I'm so sorry guys

how well we do in these next 2 days before Christmas we're still going to be in the red but I sold dad's truck and that helped it wasn't enough well we'll have a sale what about the Reas in point C is half off oh people love that they'll they'll go crazy I think that we need to talk about selling the farm Scott if we prepare it now we can have it on the market in time for spring there has to be another way and we could get another loan from the bank call Mrs steinard I I I called her already and she said no I'm I'm sorry I really am I I've seen what you've managed to do here we all have and it was an incredibly Valiant effort but at some point we have to face reality look I know that this is home for you but maybe this is a chance for something new do you ever think maybe the farm was holding you back from having your own life I like my life here I know there's this whole world out there to explore Beyond this farm and Beyond odds and springs what would dad say if he heard you

foremost don't forget that what would Wilbert Anderson say if he heard you right now excuse me Wilbur Anderson was a lot like the people around here he respected his customers I wonder if HDs has forgotten that so funny well the way you were talking I actually started to believe that Wilbur Anderson was real what do you mean oh no you don't know oh Wilbur Anderson never existed he was created by Art freeberg a brilliant ad copy guy back in the 70s he made the whole thing up as a sales tactic I thought you knew well I just goes to show you you can sell ice to alaskans if you tell them the right story be back at the office tomorrow on Christmas Eve yes I want to get you up to speed on your new role before the new [Music] year a day ago I was on top of the world and in a Flash I am losing the farm and the first guy I saw a future with some Christmas Eve you don't know that for sure there's still time right I'm talking about the farm with a guy maybe both just talk to him no hey Jessica it's me clay uh I would really like to talk to you I know you're upset but hopefully you'll call me back by listen to his voicemail maybe he something I don't get it you were the one who forbade me from dating him I know and I didn't want to like clay but he clearly adors you and I doubt he'd ever want to hurt you or put your farm out of business he baited me into competing with him knowing he would win all along oh stop if you're going to blame him blame yourself too because win or lose you loved playing the game and it could have gotten ugly between you two but it didn't cuz you liked each other too much and maybe you'll lose the farm but are you really ready to lose him too Jessica Roberts you deserve someone exceptional I don't know if that's clay but you owe it to yourself to find out so talk to him one more time then [Music] decide hey you wanted to see me boss I wanted to wish you good good luck with the store my time's up here wow already we built up local awareness now it's up to you to maintain the hgs brand in the area put together a checklist of all the quarterly marketing must it's been great working with you Xavier yeah uh you too I mean you've taught me so much it's been an honor Merry Christmas you too [Music] the select few who make it to the top know that Winning is Everything every day is a test of your will to compete because if you aren't willing to do whatever it takes to win [Music] you okay not really I promised that I would take care of this place weel I'll always feel like I let him down not really a comedy moment mom I

track he we're not selling the farm oh okay good competing with you made me realize what I'm capable of this Farm is going to be a venue for so much more than it's ever been we're going to have Summer movie nights and Easter egg hunts and Fourth of July carnivals Halloween pumpkin patch oh Halloween pumpkin patch and the best part weddings brilliant yeah I want to help I'm not taking that promotion

New York City is the center of the world where anything's possible but in all my years living there I never felt anything but the need to hustle do whatever it takes to win even though it's only been a few weeks the only place I've ever felt a sense of real possibility a life with family and friends and real home it's right here Hudson Springs with you are you sure you want to live in Hudson
