The first time we
met it was snowing
You took my hand
I was glowing
Just one kiss
You were my Christmas wish
Wrapped in your arms
I just couldn't see
You made me who
I didn't want to be
This Christmas
all I need is me
So I'll be
Alone For Christmas
I'll be all right
on my own
I don't need your mistletoe
Just me, yeah, baby
Alone For Christmas
I'm the star
of my own tree
I've never ever
felt so free
Merry Christmas to me
Everything you gave me...
Cut!
All right. Print that!
Moving on!
All right. Good job girls.
Do you want to take five?
First hydration, then comfort.
So, I know you're deep in your
single all the way phase,
but does that have to be the
lead track for the album?
Girl, it's such a downer.
It's not a downer!
It's empowering.
I'm literally singing about
how I don't need a man
to make me happy.
And how Christmas isn't just
about material things and...
How you're so over Hudson,
you don't care
that he's jingling his bells
around every supermodel he can?
Yeah. I don't care!
He can deck his halls with any
Dancer, Prancer and Vixen
he wants.
I'm so done with him and
I'm done with dating.
Whoa!
What? You don't believe me?
I just want to
focus on my career.
Okay. As your manager
I should encourage you
to focus on your career.
But as your friend, your
career is doing just fine.
I can't help it. I want more.
Well, then the album
drops in a couple weeks.
And I know it's a
Christmas album
so we're not focusing on
the numbers, like usual.
But still, these pre-sales
are not looking good.
Mira, I'm not doing
it for the sales.
I'm doing it for the fans.
Well, there's nothing wrong
with making other people happy.
As long as they're paying you.
Because otherwise it's so
much more fun to be mean.
Have you been making
people cry again?
I mean, a few.
There's an issue
with the scheduling
for the Bay Springs
concert next week.
But we've still have time
to do the meet and greet
with the kids from the
Children's Hospital right?
Of course. I know that
that's a non-negotiable.
And they did ask if
there was any way
you would perform at their
Christmas Eve fundraiser.
Because they're building
some new cancer wing...
- Yes!
- Oh!
Dr. Glenn's the new
chief of staff there.
He was one my father's doctors
when he was going through
all his treatments.
I did not know that.
Yeah. He was with my mom
and I until the very end.
So if there's anything
he needs, I'm there.
Okay.
All right.
I'll make that happen.
Plus I'm going to be
alone for Christmas, so.
Mira! Please let me
buy you a new jacket.
I've had this since
I was fifteen.
She's a classic.
That's just another
word for old.
Bombers day oner baby!
Oh, you forgot this.
Okay arm!
Whoa!
Whoooo!
To be this good,
and, this pretty.
It's hard work, bro.
You got lucky.
What? With the catch or with the
fact I got Dad's good looks?
You got Dad's good looks,
but you didn't get
Mom's great brains.
Then why am I her favorite?
On what planet do you think
that you're Mom's favorite?
This one.
On this planet? On this planet
I gave her a grandchild
and you've given her an ulcer.
Hey hey hey.
Not all of us can meet our
soulmate in high school.
Some of us got to
play the field.
It's fun that way.
Speaking of playing the field,
captain lucky pants,
you got to dial
in those routes.
You got it, Gonzo?
I got it Goldie.
I got it Goldie,
I got it Goldie!
Yeah yeah yeah.
Gonzo.
I feel you, man.
What's going on?
It's nothing.
All right.
I've been thinking, man, I
felt off like all season.
You know what I mean, my
contract's up this year.
If I don't get my numbers up
they're not going to resign me.
Hey, Rob would never
let that happen.
I don't want to get
re-signed because
my brother's the star
quarterback, George!
Look, you are one of the best
wide receivers in our league.
You deserve to be here.
And Rob knows what's best
for our team and that's you.
Huh?
We're going for dinner soon.
Want to join?
No, man, I can't.
I got a party to go to.
- A party?
- Uh huh.
During the season?
Oh yeah.
Well, can I come?
Man, dude, I would,
any other time.
But this party is
super exclusive.
They're not even giving me
a plus one for this thing.
- What!
- Yeah.
Well don't get too wild.
Come on, man, me?
Never.
Whoo!
Let's get this party started!
Whoooo!
Happy birthday Aileen!
You're the best Uncle Gonzo!
Nice work, Uncle Gonzo.
Do you know how long it's
going to take me to clean up?
No no. None of
this hugging stuff.
You've got to back me up.
Hey, don't give him a hard time.
You know what?
He loves vacuuming.
Actually, one of the
reasons I married him.
That's a flat out lie.
You're supposed to be
on my side. Traitor.
Somebody's got
to make up for the fact
that her dad is
such a drag.
Oh, hey, look who it is!
Listen, this Bowyn
stuff has got to stop.
Now she's gone full Arrowhead.
That better be nothing ill*gal.
That's what
they call her fans.
Bows, arrows, Bowyn, arrows...
Get it?
What do you
have against Bowyn?
Nothing. I don't know Bowyn.
The only thing I know
about Bowyn is that
she's had a bunch of boyfriends
and wrote songs about them.
That's not a sexist
statement at all.
- Okay.
- What?
Dude. Dude!
She's won 8 Grammy Awards, an
Emmy, 40 American Music Awards.
There's like fifteen college
courses dedicated to her career
and on her impact on
society and culture.
Plus she's given millions
of dollars to charity
and she's an activist for
women and the LGBTQ community.
One person can do all that?
Who taught you that?
Your daughter taught me.
There's no way...
Happy birthday!
Mom!
What's up? How're you doing?
Big guy.
How are you doing?
I'm all right.
Jay, you know gluten
upsets your stomach.
Yes, Mil, I also know
cookies make my mouth happy.
Ladies and Gentlemen...
Boys and girls.
For the first time ever in
their professional debut,
the Bay Springs Arrows!
I'm the brightest star
that you'll ever find
Even in the darkest
night I'm gonna
Shine!
This my time to
Shine!
Burn so bright I Shine
Going supernova
Shine Shine Shine!
I'm gonna Shine
One in a million
Okay. I got a
surprise for you too.
Two tickets for you and me
to see Bowyn Sykes at
her concert next week!
Yeah! Let's freaking go!
Yes!
Okay, we'll go!
You're k*lling me, man.
Those are so expensive.
I'm trying to raise a
kid with some values.
Oh come on.
I am teaching her values.
The value of having the
coolest uncle in the world!
Give me some!
Yeah!
To everyone saying that this
new Christmas album is just a
cash grab, you are so wrong.
Bowyn is giving us a gift.
Sure she may become famous
from a reality TV show,
but that does not
mean she's not one of
the greatest artists
of our generation.
We love you Bowyn.
Don't listen to any of that.
It's white noise.
It doesn't matter
what people think.
Do you remember the
first time that we met?
It was right after you
won American Songbird.
You were this
awkward 15 year old
barely out of braces.
What did I tell you?
That you were going
to make me a star.
And what did you tell me?
That I was already a star.
And I just needed you to
help me find the sky.
You will always be that star.
But maybe the sky's
not big enough for you.
It's time to shine your
light somewhere else.
Drew Gonville?
Hey!
I never would have
pegged you for an Arrow.
Um, well, I'm just
here with my niece.
She's the big fan.
Don't listen to him.
He knows all her songs and he
totally has a crush on her.
What?
No, that is not true!
He totally does.
He gets all glowy whenever
we watch her videos.
That is not a crush that's just
a really good skin care routine.
Exfoliation and coconut oil.
It works like magic every time.
Why you gonna sell
me out like that?
You should ask Bowyn out.
Yeah right. Come on.
Like I would have
a chance with her.
I'm just a dumb goof.
I'm not even the star
quarterback like your dad.
You're not a goof.
You just make bad choices.
Did your dad say that?
And my mom.
And Grammy and Grandpa.
And...
Okay, okay okay. I get it!
But it doesn't
even matter though.
I don't need a girlfriend.
I've already got the best
dance partner in the world.
What's up Bay Springs!
Are you ready to shine?
Wow!
You said I was
a one trick pony
A no talent plastic phoney
Just another pretty face
Tried to put me in my place
With your cold embrace
But then I felt a spark
Felt it grow
Something beautiful
began to grow
I'm the brightest star
that you'll ever find
Even in the darkest night
I'm gonna
Shine!
This is my time to
Shine!
Burn so bright I...
Everyone say Bowyn!
Yeah!
Did everyone have a good time?
It was incredible! Yes!
Wasn't it incredible you guys?
And you were incredible,
the show was incredible.
This shirt is
incredibly expensive.
Everyone say bye!
We'll see you later
Bye Bowyn. Thank you! Let's go.
Thanks Dr. Glenn!
Oh, are you guys from
the hospital too?
No, we just snuck in.
Okay.
I'm a b*mber.
Oh no no no!
I don't mean I have a b*mb!
I mean b*mber like a football
player, on the Bombers...
Forgive my uncle, he gets
hit in the head for a living.
Sorry, let me start over.
I'm Drew... Gonville.
Nice to meet you.
This is my niece Aileen.
We are big fans and
she wanted to meet you.
Okay. Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you too.
Is it cool if I get a
picture of you guys?
Of course.
Come on little one.
Wow. You are even more beautiful
in person than in pictures.
Come on! You get a
selfie with her too!
Um...
Is that okay with you?
Sure.
Is it...
Is it okay if I like,
you know...
Yeah. Thanks for asking.
Okay.
Sorry about that.
Sorry about that...
All right. Here we go.
One, two, three...
Bowyn!
Oh, I gotta go.
But it was so nice you guys.
Bye!
Nice to meet you.
Who's that?
Oh, just some guy.
I'm never going to
have cousins am I?
Oh, that was pretty bad.
I can't wait to tell my dad.
Don't you dare!
I heard you fumbled
hard with Bowyn Sykes.
Rob's telling everyone.
Oh my gosh!
I did not fumble! Okay?
I wasn't even trying to score.
But I was a bit of a dork.
You? Gonzo?
The guy who can charm anyone?
She's not just anyone bro.
Then invite her to a game.
Let her see you do your thing.
Come on. She'd never
come to a game.
What are you...
Gonzo wimping out on a play?
Bwak! Bwak!
Bwak!
Bwak! Bwak!
Bwak! Bwak! Bwak!
Come on, what are you 12?
Bwak!
Just some guy?
Oh yeah.
He was at the Bay Springs
concert with his niece.
He was sweet.
Am I supposed to know who he is?
He's only the best wide
receiver in the world.
Nine time MVP.
He holds the longest
record for yards received!
I don't speak football.
He's amazing.
And not just on the field.
He does a lot of charity work.
He's so cute, he's friendly,
he's down to earth.
And he's gorgeous.
I think you take him up on his
offer and you go on a date.
Except I don't want to
date anyone right now.
And he's not even my type.
Oh, like those pretentious
actors and indie rockers
that have broken your heart
for the last fifteen years?
It'll be good publicity.
I don't need any more publicity.
Maybe if you date him you'll
finally get that offer,
to the big game
half time show!
If I have to date a football
player to get offered it,
I don't want it.
Why are you so invested in this?
Because I want to go to a game!
You go to Bombers
games all the time!
You don't get it!
The Gonville family is royalty.
His brother Rob is
the quarterback.
And he's a future Hall of Famer.
Wait, is he that guy they
call Golden Gonville?
Yes!
He's in all those
sneaker commercials?
Yes sweetie!
And all the insurance
commercials
and the one with the
talking raccoon.
I love those commercials.
Yes! He's like the best
quarterback in the world.
And his parents,
they're adorable.
They go to every game.
They got the best family.
So?
So, I want to sit in the box
with them and meet them.
Wow.
I knew you were a big
fan but I had no idea
it ran this deep, Mira.
Bowyn, please.
One game.
Show me a picture of this guy.
Oh!
I wanna make sure he's
as cute as I remember.
Say less.
That
was a pretty bold move
publicly inviting
Bowyn to a game.
You know me,
Chad. What can I say.
I take big swings.
No, but, honestly, I am a
huge fan of Bowyn Sykes.
And she is incredible.
I figured at the very least
we could have fun together.
I might even make her a
nice home cooked meal.
So Bowyn, if you're watching...
Call me sometime.
Get his number.
Let the games begin.
Yeah baby!
Oh my goodness...
No! I do not need
a new car warranty.
Thank you.
Oh! Actually I do need a...
Oh!
Uncle Gonzo for the win, baby!
What is that?
Three in a row now.
Hello?
You're not the IRS.
Stop lying to people.
Good bye.
Uncle Gonzo, you're being
weirder than usual.
Okay...
There is this really
big thing going on
and I'm not supposed to
tell anyone about it.
Go on. Spill it.
Right.
Okay.
I'm waiting for Bowyn to call,
but I don't have
her phone number
so I have to answer my
phone, no matter what.
Now that, is some tea.
Yeah, tell me about it.
But it's been three days,
so I don't know,
I just feel like
I'm losing hope.
It's always just these
scammers calling my phone.
Although I did find a good
place to get my car detailed,
so that was cool.
Let me handle this.
I'm sorry Uncle Gonzo can't
come to the phone right now.
He's dead.
Dead?
He was just at my concert.
It's her! It's her!
Are you serious?
You got this!
Right.
Hi!
Yeah, sorry about that.
Yeah, kids, you know.
Always trying to k*ll you!
Hey!
Well I'm glad to see
you're still alive.
Yeah. You know, me too.
I'm sorry it took
so long to call.
It's been a bit crazy
with all this press
for my Christmas album.
Right, ah, speaking
of crazy press,
I'm sorry for putting you on the
spot like that with that post.
I didn't even think the gossip
sites paid attention to me.
Oh really?
Because I googled you and
you're quite the wild boy.
Oh, that must be my
evil twin brother.
Why am I nervous?
Okay. I don't normally have such
a hard time talking to people
but I guess you're
not a regular person.
Well, how about from now
on we pretend that I am.
You know, I still can't
believe you even called me.
Full disclosure, my manager
kind of put me up to it.
She's a huge Bombers' fan.
Ah, yup, okay. And you're not.
I don't know.
Growing up I was never
really the cheerleader type.
More of a bleacher girl.
Kind of a nerd to be honest.
Yeah, not me.
I've always been
a big dumb jock.
Well, it's a good
thing you're so cute.
Oh! So you think I'm cute?
I want to see you again.
In person.
I'll send a car to pick you
up Friday after practice?
Yeah, perfect. Can't wait.
What are we doing?
Dinner and a movie,
like regular people.
See you later.
Bye.
Don't screw this up.
Come on...
Later Gonzo!
I'm sorry for all
the shenanigans,
but this is what it takes
to keep things private.
Ah, just like
regular people, huh?
Like regular people.
Cheers.
Come on.
- Thank you.
- Appreciate it.
Ah, yeah, so, okay.
It's hard living up
to Rob, but, I mean,
if he didn't push me
as hard as he does,
I have no idea where
I would be, so...
He's a pain in my a*s.
But I know he's
looking out for me.
Yeah, that's good.
I mean, you're lucky.
I'm an only child and
when my dad died it
was just me and my mom.
And she worked all the
time to support us. So...
Yeah.
That must have been hard.
I'm a tough kid.
I mean, I was only 13
when I started performing
at the bar she worked at.
And I was seeing some real
money, so that's when she
entered me into the America
Songbird competition, and, yeah,
the rest is wikipedia.
Are you guys close?
Not really.
She pushed a little too hard
when I was a kid and, you know,
at a certain point
you got to push back.
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
I know how that feels.
Well, you on the other hand,
according to Mira,
come from the perfect family.
Oh no, we are not perfect.
Not in the least,
but, yeah, I'm lucky.
I mean, my folks didn't have a
lot when we were growing up but
they gave us
everything they could.
Have you thought about
what you're going to do
when you're
done football?
I try not to think about it.
What about you?
Like, you look like you're
having the time of your life.
I love my career. You know.
And I am so grateful.
It's like I don't remember
if it was ever fun.
I don't know, I guess I kind
of just lost the joy of it.
So what does bring you joy?
Puzzles bring me joy.
I know it sounds stupid, but
I used to do them all
the time with my dad.
We would sit by the fire
and drink hot chocolate.
I don't know, I just love
how everything fits together
perfectly and creates
this beautiful picture.
Don't get me wrong because
that is such a sweet
and beautiful memory.
But I now see why the
universe sent me to you.
I mean, clearly you need
someone in your life
whose sole purpose is to
show you a good time.
Okay.
And how do you
plan on doing that?
I guess you're just
going to have to go out
on a second date
with me and find out.
A second date?
- Uh huh.
- Whoof.
That's a pretty big commitment
for a player like you.
Well, as long as we're
having fun right?
Um, but I gotta warn you though.
I know you said you weren't
looking for anything serious,
but you're probably going
to fall in love with me
because everybody does.
I promise not to fall
in love with you.
And I promise not to
fall in love with you.
Pinky promise?
Pinky promise.
What you do if
I come for you
Nadie ms que t
me niece as
What you do
If I knock on your door
Will you open up
and let me in
What you do if
I come for you
Um...
Sorry.
Speaking of promises,
I believe you said it was
dinner and a movie, right?
I feel like I'm in a movie.
Does your movie
have a happy ending?
Oh in my version it
definitely does. Yeah!
I did not mean it like that!
No no, right now I am very
happy with a happy beginning.
Are you having a good time yet?
Nah.
I'm kidding. Definitely.
You know, next time maybe I'll
actually fly you somewhere.
Uh uh. No way.
Next time I get
to plan the date.
I owe you dinner.
Okay. Sounds good.
Listen, I know we are trying
to keep this a secret but
can I tell my mom?
I got to get her lasagna recipe.
Plus she can always
tell when I'm lying.
Okay, yes, you
can tell your mom.
Yes!
But only because I love lasagna.
'Kay, go.
Right.
And he got in the car
and I flew back to LA.
It was fine.
It's more than fine! Girl,
you've got your color back.
What?
You're glowing.
That's just the lotion
that Drew recommended.
He's got really good skin.
Okay.
But you're right.
I like him.
More than I should probably.
He's just so fun.
Who's fun?
Hudson!
Are you seeing someone?
Should I be jealous?
We broke up.
My love life is none
of your business.
Oh, Bobo, are you
still mad at me?
I told you, Sofia
meant nothing to me.
It just meant that
you're a liar.
It was just a big
miscommunication.
Speaking of miscommunication.
Did you give her an invite
to my movie premiere?
She would rather be trapped in a
pit of snakes than to watch you
pretend to have real emotions,
you superficial hack.
Oh Mira, I love your
playful sense of humor.
Not humor.
Pure hatred and disgust.
Well, do yourself a favor
and come check it out.
I am, mwah, brilliant in it.
Oscar's are abuzzing.
I'll save you a seat.
It's amazing how when
he was with you,
he would never walk the
red carpet with you,
but now that he
needs your shine
he can't wait to share
your spotlight.
I'm not surprised.
You should go.
And bring Drew.
He would lose his mind.
Yeah!
But, I'm not going
public with Drew.
You know how it is.
Once the world knows
they think they own it.
It's nice to be in my own
little bubble for a minute.
It just feels too soon
to share this yet.
I get it.
And I love that
you're having fun.
I am.
And I'm just going to
keep it all to myself.
I went on a date
with Bowyn Sykes.
- What?
- Yeah.
When? Where?
Sh sh sh sh...
Okay, it was
three nights ago.
We had dinner on
her private jet.
She made me dress
in a Santa outfit
so no one would recognize me.
She is amazing and funny and so
smart and we've been texting
nonstop and I told her I would
cook her your lasagna recipe
because I want to impress
her and I can't believe
any of this is real but Mom,
it is, it's real.
I have never seen you this
excited about a girlfriend!
She's not my girlfriend.
I mean, she doesn't want
anything serious, and, come on,
you know me, so we're just,
we're seeing where it goes.
Oh.
So Mom...
I know you, you have to
promise me not to tell anyone.
I will happily keep your secret.
Yes!
What secret?
Oh, he's, uh, he's, um...
Trying to get my
secret lasagna recipe.
Yeah.
Okay. Nice try.
I'll never give it to him!
Mom, come on...
See.
Of course
I'm giving it to you!
Yes!
Okay.
Make sure cheese has reached
golden crispy bubble status.
What does that even mean?
Ahh!
I parked down the street and
came up out of the woods.
Wow! You are really
good at this spy stuff.
Wait.
Are you like actually a spy?
I'd tell you but then
I'd have to k*ll you.
Nice place.
It's Rob's.
But our whole family uses it.
Okay.
I'm a little nervous
about the lasagna.
It's my first time.
Well, I promise I'll be gentle.
Okay?
So?
Hmm...
Is it good?
I know you said your mom's was
the best in the world but,
This...
This is amazing!
Whoo!
She likes my
lasagna, she likes my lasagna.
Ohh!
That is quite the fire.
It's the log cabin technique.
My brother Rob taught me.
It is so beautiful,
how close you guys are.
With your parents too.
Yeah. I mean, I'm lucky.
You know, I tell you what.
I would never be where
I am without them.
You though, you got to
the top all by yourself.
Is it hard living up to
everybody's expectations
all the time?
I don't know.
I mean, I still see myself as
that little girl with big dreams
just sitting in front of a
puzzle trying to figure out
how all the pieces
fit together.
You want to do one?
Yeah.
Come on.
Pick a card, any card.
You have to
start with the edges.
Start with the edges.
I go inside out.
No no. Flip them all over
so we can see like
the picture, right.
Call me if you're
a little sad
Let's make the night longer
Keep each other warm
Are you trying to distract me?
No!
Do you find my adoring
gaze distracting?
Not at all.
Oh! The eyeball!
Calico done!
What! That's not fair!
Interference!
Secrets aren't easy to tell
We can discover
Each other under the covers
And all will go well
We're two puzzle pieces
We complete each other well
I think I just need, this
piece here right here...
Wow. You play very dirty.
If you can't handle it.
Oh I can handle it.
Oh!
Do you have the last piece?
No.
Where are you hiding...
It's not here.
It's missing.
You gave me a puzzle
with a missing piece!
You picked it!
All right. Well, there we go.
It's a tie. Nobody wins.
Or everyone does.
- Okay.
- Right?
Right.
The pie!
Puzzles and pie...
This date just keeps
getting better.
Not bad, huh.
Oh, that smells good.
Hmmm...
Ah, sh**t. That was
my favorite shirt.
You need to soak it
before the stain sets.
Oh wow.
What?
I mean, I know you're
a professional athlete
and it's expected, but
that is just unreal.
What, none of your famous
little boyfriends work out?
I date serious actors
and indie rockers.
Strumming guitars
and playing Hamlet
don't exactly create
abs like that.
Can I touch it?
Yeah. You can do
anything you want to it.
You are like a sculpture.
Are my hands cold?
They feel pretty hot.
Hello?
What was that?
Drew!
Wait, they can't find me here!
What are we going to do?
Um...
Drew!
Okay, hide! Hide!
Drew, are you here?
What are you doing here, man?
This is my house.
What are you doing here?
Where's your shirt?
Ah, I spilled something on it.
I just, I came up here
to be alone, you know.
You hate being alone.
You hate being alone.
I'm trying new things.
Naked baking?
It's very soothing.
All right...
Your energy's... off.
But I love pie!
What's going on?
Nothing. Nothing.
But you'd tell me if there
was something going on?
Well, of course.
Tell me the truth.
Look at me.
Mom got you that pie didn't she?
Yeah, that's right.
You got me!
You can't
lie to your big brother.
Come on man. Get it together.
I knew you couldn't
keep a secret from me.
Knock it off.
I'm just going to grab some
wood. I'll be right back.
Please.
You better not have
drank all the brewskis.
Little cold out there.
Thanks.
Are we safe?
Don't worry.
Our secret is safe.
Oh, thank God.
Hey man! You
need help with the wood?
You've been gone for awhile.
Oh.
I didn't realize you
had a girl here.
It's not what it
looks like, man.
Oh my God...
Bowyn Sykes.
Bowyn Sykes.
This is so exciting!
Cassandra is going
to lose her mind.
My girlfriend is a huge fan.
Can I get a selfie?
Listen George...
Are you coming to our game?
- I...
- George!
George. You can't tell anyone.
Why not?
It's my fault.
I'm just really private.
I can't even tell Cassandra?
I'm sorry, man.
We can't risk it
right now, you know.
Okay.
It was nice to meet you.
It was really nice
to meet you too.
And thank you for understanding.
Whoa. That was a close call.
Look, we barely know
each other, right?
I get it.
But the more I'm with you,
the more I really like you.
And I know it's just
supposed to be fun, and...
It's not fun lying to
my friends and family.
You know what I mean?
I've got my niece and
my mom lying for me.
And now my best friend.
I just...
I don't know if I can keep
this up anymore, you know.
I understand.
Yeah.
And I feel the
same way about you.
But I'm just not ready to go
public with anyone right now.
No matter how much I like them.
Let me know if you find
that missing piece.
All right.
The album drops next week
so you've got a whole
bunch of last minute press
for after Thanksgiving.
You've got the "On The Field"
show in New York,
and the Bay Springs
Children's Hospital Show.
Are you good with the set list?
Okay, I also scheduled you a
dog sled race across Alaska.
Starts in a couple weeks.
Sounds fun.
Bowyn!
What's going on?
Oh, sorry.
I'm just, I...
It's the thing with Drew.
Oh.
You guys went on two dates.
And I didn't even
meet the family.
I should be the one sad.
I know. I'm sorry.
It was just, I don't know, it
was nice to just feel like
a normal girl dating a
normal guy, you know.
Well, neither of you are normal.
But it's also
awesome to wish for
a real non normal
relationship.
Are you coming over for
Thanksgiving tomorrow?
Are you going to be
watching the Bombers game?
Duh.
Because now I'm not watching
it in the family box
with the Gonville family.
I said I was sorry!
I really hope you can come.
I'll think about it.
Aimee,
did you realize that Gonzo
tried to get a date
with Bowyn Sykes?
I did, and I have to say
it's a good thing
she never responded.
These things never work out.
Bowyn don't do it.
Well, we do need
another love song.
Or heartbreak song, so...
She does write a
catchy break up song though.
I gotta say, I hope she
never finds true love!
Yeah.
- Realistically.
- Is that wrong? Am I bad?
No.
Okay fine.
I'll watch the game with you.
On one condition.
Hey, that's three
this game alone.
What's going on?
I don't know, man.
I can't focus.
I don't know what's going on.
You can't focus?
You've been acting
weird for weeks.
What do you mean
you can't focus?
What aren't you telling me?
Hello, Gonzo.
There's nothing going on! Okay!
Okay, maybe there's
one thing going on.
Just one little thing!
Right?
Just one little thing.
Yeah. Get out of here.
I had no idea that
football was this fun!
I want to hug everyone and hit
everyone at the same time!
Sounds about right.
I am so glad you came today.
Drew would hate me
for saying this but
I've never seen him this
excited about anyone.
I know he's got a
bit of a reputation.
But he's got a good heart.
Well, I can see where
he gets it from.
I taught him that.
Did you? Let's go!
Hey hey!
Daddy!
Hi Mom, how are you?
That was a great game.
Thank you so much.
I really appreciate that.
I'm so glad you could make it.
Me too.
Oh, this is my manager Mira Vu.
Hi!
Manager Mira Vu.
Please to meet you.
Oh my God. Rob Gonville.
That's me.
Golden Gonville.
That's right.
That last touchdown, magic.
Thank you.
I really appreciate it.
It wouldn't be weird
if I just wanted to,
I don't know, touch it.
- Mira!
- Just a little.
Is that weird?
No not at all. I mean...
This actually happens like
almost every day, so...
Oh wait, do the thing.
Come on, give her a flex!
Come on Goldie, give her a flex.
Hey.
Hi.
You should come tomorrow to our
Thanksgiving celebration.
Mom!
What? She missed
Thanksgiving to watch you play,
the least I could do is
make her some turkey.
I don't think she
wants to come...
I would love to.
We'll see you tomorrow.
I stand corrected.
I'll meet you at the car.
Lovely to meet you.
Thanks for having me.
Great game.
Thank you so much.
Mira was right.
Your family is perfect.
Yeah, they're okay.
Look, I don't know what
any of this means,
but I want to
give it a chance.
That's if you'll give
me another chance.
Bow, I will give you
anything you want from me.
Anything.
The Happiness Of Home
Happiness Of Home
Put on a brave face
And make it through the day
It's always like this.
Yeah, I bet.
You know, you're good at this.
I love to bake.
And before my dad died my mom
used to bake all the time.
You know, Drew's
like a brother to me.
I've known him since
I was really young.
He was like 12.
He pretends like he doesn't care
about anything, but he does.
Mom! Hit me with a roll!
Like literally hit him.
I will pass a roll.
Whoa! Touchdown!
Now you're going to tear a
page out of my book, huh?
Behave yourself!
I am behaving myself.
Anybody else?
Thanks pop,
appreciate it.
Is it okay if I give a toast?
Of course.
I just want to say thank you
for inviting me to
share this day with you.
I don't remember the last time
I celebrated
Thanksgiving like this.
You know, seeing your family
together, the way that you love
and support each other, it
is such a beautiful thing.
You really do have a
championship team here.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Go Bombers, baby!
I can not
believe Bowyn Sykes
is in my kitchen
doing the dishes.
It's crazy.
I can't believe
Drew is doing them.
She's just trying to impress me.
Well, is it working?
Absolutely.
What a beautiful day.
Yeah, it really was.
And we still have the
whole night ahead of us.
Oh my gosh! Please.
I don't know what
you're talking about.
You were a very cute kid.
Oh wait until you get
to the teen years.
That's when it
gets real awkward.
Are you cold?
A little bit.
Let me.
Thank you.
I look at these pictures
and they're so beautiful.
Like the normality of it all.
Sometimes I worry that
I'll never be able
to give that to my kids
when and if I have them.
Sometimes I wish I could just
live a quiet life somewhere
and not have to wonder
if people like me for me
or just because I'm a star.
I like you for you.
And I like you
because you're a star.
No no no.
I don't mean I like you because
you're famous and successful,
I mean I like you because
of all the things you do
that make you famous
and successful.
You know, Bow, you
are so talented.
And you work so so hard.
You actually care
about your fans.
Your voice is too powerful
to live a quiet life.
You were born to sing.
Loud.
That is the sweetest thing
anyone has ever said to me.
And now I feel bad
that I'm just with you
for your fantastic body.
I want more.
More what?
More real life.
I want more you.
More us.
I want you too.
Are we doing this?
Let's freaking go!
Let's freaking go!
And in some off the field
news today, it looks like
Bowyn and Gonzo are
scoring some serious
Tinsel Town touchdowns.
No longer will Bowyn
be alone for Christmas.
According to her new single,
this Christmas will be
wrapped up with a "Bow On Top".
I can't stop loving you
Take my heart and wrap it
Wrap it in a box
Well, it looks
like Christmas is
coming early for Bowyn Sykes.
Her new single and
her Christmas album,
are both sitting at number one.
The alchemy
between these two
is off the charts.
Well, the word of
the day for Bowyn and Drew is
L-O-V-E. Love.
And let's hope they can keep
this winning streak alive.
Loving you with a bow on top
No.
All right. Excuse me.
I can't stop loving you
Did you see
all the posts
trying to explain football
to Bowyn's Arrows?
"What is a down?
"It's like a chance.
"Like when a boy is a
jerk and lets you down
"but you give him
another chance."
I think it's great.
She's bringing all these
new fans to the game.
I mean, all the
ladies in my book club
are suddenly interested.
Did you say you're
in a book club?
It's comic books.
Ahhh...
Hey, you see here.
They're saying it's
a big PR stunt
for her to boost her sales
and win over all the NFO fans.
Dude, that's ridiculous.
She's the biggest pop
star in the world.
She's worth like
a billion dollars.
She doesn't need football fans.
True. I mean, if
she wanted the PR
she would have got
a quarterback.
Like Golden.
Okay. Here it is.
At the end of the day, I don't
care what her motivations are
so long as she doesn't
pull focus from the game.
Don't let the
limelight distract you.
I've been playing the best
football of my career!
Maybe a little bit of limelight
is exactly what I needed.
I'm just looking out, pal.
Yeah, look elsewhere.
Okay.
All right.
You look stunning.
Why, thank you.
Wow, this is fancy.
They're celebrating
the annual release
of their Best Things issue.
Best handbag. Best stiletto.
Best lipstick.
You're the best
thing at this party.
Okay. But you're a close second.
That's Selkie Van Praag.
I've been trying to
collab with her for years.
Come on.
Ah, I think I'm
going to hang back.
I don't want to third
wheel your convo, you know.
Are you sure?
She's just, she's
impossible to pin down.
Are you going to be okay on
your own for a little bit?
Yeah, of course.
You know how much I love
talking to strangers.
You know, it is amazing that
you haven't been kidnapped yet.
Thank you so much.
I'll be right back.
Oh, ooo...
You almost snuck by me, there.
I have to hold the purse.
Swans actually love bread.
Are you going to finish that?
It just looks so good.
Did I scare you there?
No no no.
Not a quarterback.
Just a wide receiver.
Yeah...
I'll make sure and
tell Rob you're a fan.
I don't care too much
for the term meathead.
I'm actually pretty
plant based in my diet.
I am so sorry!
I got intercepted by this
executive I worked with ages
ago, I forgot his
daughter's name.
Oh my God, it was
such a disaster.
Can we go?
Are you not having fun?
Not really.
Everyone here thinks
I'm a dumb jock.
No one here takes me seriously.
But that's what's
so great about you.
You don't take
things too seriously?
Yeah right.
Being an idiot is
totally my thing.
No, I didn't mean it like that.
Forget it. I'm just...
Look, I'm sorry.
I'm just really tired.
I'll just meet you back
at your place, okay?
I'll see you at home.
Drew?
Bobo!
I was hoping I
would see you.
And I was hoping I would
never see you again.
When are you going
to forgive me babe?
You know you will always be
the Alice to my Mad Hatter.
Oh Hudson.
You think you're wonderland but
you're really just
a big empty hole.
Grow up Peters.
We're cutting that.
Can we talk please?
Can you lose the cameras?
Seriously though, what are
you doing with that ball boy?
What is it?
Some kind of big PR stunt?
Yes. That's it exactly.
I'm just pretending to be
with some big dumb jock
to get the football fans
to buy my albums and
get asked to play
at the big game.
Hmm.
Of course you think that.
You can't even deal with the
fact that I might actually be
with someone who isn't
ashamed to be dating me.
It's not a stunt.
It's real, Hudson.
Realer than anything
we ever had.
He's a better man than
you in every way.
And I've never been happier.
So, thanks for all the hit
singles, but this album is over.
Bye Hudson.
Two shots.
Hi.
Hi.
I'm sorry about earlier.
You're not just some dumb jock.
You're so much more than that.
And so much smarter than you
give yourself credit for.
Yeah, like how?
The way you play the field.
You can see all
the moving pieces
and you always work
your way through.
Most people can't
see the big picture.
They just see what's
in front of them.
I see the best
boyfriend I've ever had.
Hey boys.
So, we just got a call from the
Bay Springs Children's Hospital.
And they need a host for their
annual Christmas Eve fundraiser.
No worries, buddy.
We got you.
Um, actually, they wanted to
know if Drew could do it.
He's just so popular right now.
And with Bowyn headlining,
it just makes sense.
I, the more popular Gonville
brother, will happily MC
the fundraiser and help
to save the children.
Did you see that?
Did you see what you've done?
You've created a monster.
Thanks very much, though.
I appreciate that.
Party pooper.
You're enjoying
this, aren't you?
Just doing my duty.
- Taste test?
- Yes! Please.
Oh, thank you.
Be honest.
- That's good.
- Good?
Great.
That's what I though.
It's my agent.
Hello.
For real?
Yeah, yeah, I know.
Okay, yeah, I got
to think about it.
Yeah, no, thanks man.
Okay.
What?
Did the Bombers offer
you a new contract?
No...
The LA Stars did.
Really?
All the press and my numbers
this season, they offered me
a five year contract
at double my salary.
Oh my God!
Whooo!
Okay, just think about it.
I'll be in LA, no more
flying back and forth
and back and forth.
And I will finally be
getting paid what I am worth.
Yeah, but you love
the Bombers, right?
They're like family to you.
One of them literally is.
This is a huge decision.
And a great opportunity.
I mean, everyone's
always telling me
think about the
future, right?
What if this is my future?
Our future.
Yeah, I mean, just
think about it, right.
You don't need to make
a decision today.
Just give it some time.
It's like a really,
really big decision.
Yeah.
There's no need to rush.
I mean, it would
be great though.
Being closer.
I mean, we could see
each other every day.
Yeah. That would be great.
Right!
That would not be great!
Why?
Aren't you having fun?
Yeah. And I want to
keep it that way.
What if he moves
here and he hates it?
What if he moves
here and he hates me?
Mira, we've only been
dating for a few weeks!
This was not part of the plan!
Whoa! Okay.
You got to calm down.
Nothing has to go
according plan, Bowyn.
I mean, as a Bombers fan,
am I going to curse him
until the day he dies?
Yes.
But as your friend,
I kind of love it.
I think it's awesome.
What if it isn't?
Okay, you know all too well
that life is not guaranteed.
The world is going to
keep spinning and you
better have fun getting
dizzy or fall down and puke.
So poetic.
It's a banger for sure.
Oh shut up!
Oh! Thank you!
Hey hey hey! After.
What's this I'm hearing about
you're signing with the Stars?
Is there any
truth to that?
They made me an offer.
I'm thinking about it.
You're thinking about it?
Yeah.
You're thinking about abandoning
your team, your family?
Is that it?
Or is it Bowyn?
She want her
boy toy nearby?
Hey, this is not about her!
Then what?
I was going to take
it immediately.
She's the one who told me
to think about it first.
There it is.
Of course you think I couldn't
get this offer on my own.
I never said that.
Maybe I'm tired of living
in your shadow, bro.
Maybe with this everyone's
going to stop assuming
I'm only good
because you're good.
Okay, boys, it's enough...
All I've done
is support you.
Then you
should be happy for me!
That another
team sees my worth.
That I've finally found a woman
worth risking everything for!
I am so tired
of following everyone else's
game plan for my life.
From now on I am
calling my own shots.
Drew...
Stop, listen Mom.
I show up everyday for
this family. Everyday.
I treat his daughter
like she's my own. And..
Drew!
No you listen for a second.
Please.
Please.
Of course I'd be
sad if you moved.
But I just want
what's best for you.
When you were little it was
always just easier for you and
Rob to have the same activities
and have all the same friends.
But that always meant that
Rob got to lead the way.
You never got to
do what you wanted.
And I'm sorry about that.
What is it that you want?
I want Bowyn.
You know, when I'm with her
I feel like I can do anything.
It's like all of my
doubts and fears, they,
I don't know, they
just kind of disappear.
You know?
And if Bowyn is who
you want, go get her.
Devastating news
to start the day.
It looks like it is over
between Bowyn and Gonzo.
In a leaked conversation between
Bowyn and her ex boyfriend,
indie rocker turned
actor Hudson Peters...
Bowyn Sykes admits that
she was just using him
as a publicity stunt.
It's all right.
To increase sales.
Is this some kind
of big PR stunt?
Yes. That's it exactly.
I'm just pretending to be in
love with this big dumb jock so
so that the
football fans will buy my albums
and I'll get asked to
play at the big game.
No.
I'm sorry Drew.
Stop!
That's not what I said!
I mean, I said it but
I was being sarcastic.
And then I defended him!
I even talked about
how amazing he was.
How did they even record it?
Hudson had a camera
crew following him.
I mean, he sent them away
but he must have been mic'd.
I have no proof
that I defended him.
And everyone thinks I'm a liar.
You know, Drew won't
even answer my calls.
Then go to him.
Tell him the truth.
He knows you.
He'll believe you.
What if he doesn't?
I have never seen you
give up on anything.
You know you want him?
Yeah.
Then go get him.
Please, just hear me out.
That recording. It wasn't fake.
But it wasn't the whole picture.
The rest of the conversation
was about how real it was
and how real this is.
And how happy you make me.
You have to believe me.
The way I feel about you
is not a stunt, Drew.
It doesn't matter.
Look, it never would
have worked out anyway.
You and I are from
really different worlds.
Plus, I can't compete with a
guy like Hudson Peters, right.
There's no competition!
You're the best guy
I've ever been with!
Look, you and I both agreed
this wasn't going to
get serious, remember?
It's supposed to be fun.
It's not fun anymore.
What, that's it?
Life gets hard and you're
just ready to walk away?
Life is not a game, Drew.
Sometimes you have to take
the hard road because that's
the only way you're going to
get to where you want to go.
I'm fine right where I am.
You're right.
This would have never worked.
Sometimes the pieces
just don't quite fit.
My love is a gift
that I'm giving to you
My love is a gift that
I'm giving to you
My love is
a gift that I'm...
Giving...
Giving to you
Hey, have
you guys seen this?
Hudson's assistant quit
and released the entire
conversation with Bowyn.
She was telling the truth!
Of course you think that.
You can't even deal with the
fact that I might actually
be with someone who isn't
ashamed to be dating me.
It's not a stunt.
It's real, Hudson.
Realer than anything
we ever had.
He's a better man
than you in every way
and I've never been happier.
Um...
Yeah she was really
telling the truth.
But it's over.
I mean, look, it never
would have lasted anyway.
I mean, she's just
out of my league.
Mommy?
Coming sweetie.
You know, I really wish you
weren't so hard on yourself.
I mean, if we're being honest,
I think I'm hard enough
on you for the both of us.
I never told you this
but I wouldn't be where I am
today if it wasn't for you.
I had to work really hard
just to stay ahead of you.
You want to sign with the
Stars, I respect that.
But for the record, so it's out
there, I don't want you to go.
I will even take a hair cut on
my pay check to keep you here.
You mean that?
Well, I'm saying it.
I know I'll regret saying it.
I just want you to be happy.
On and off the field, bro.
Even though she couldn't
possibly have been talking
about you in that video.
I appreciate you, man.
Of course.
Love you.
Uncle Gonzo!
I wanted to give you an early
Christmas present for good luck.
What? No way!
Wow, bunny.
That's so cool.
What is it?
Daddy!
It's an abbreviation
of a Bowyn lyric.
Don't you know anything?
I guess not.
Even in the darkest night,
I'm gonna shine, shine, shine.
You know what?
I've already won.
Yay!
Come on!
Ah, thank you, Ed.
Come on now, you must be
bored of this song by now.
I'll see you at
the gala tonight.
Oh my gosh!
Come on! Come on!
Do you want us to turn it off?
I mean, we won't but
at least I'll feel bad
watching it in front of you.
No way.
I wanna see this!
What a game.
Gonzo was on fire today!
Well I mean,
after the release
of the full Hudson/Bowyn
conversation,
I'm sure he's
feeling much better.
Did you see that
friendship bracelet
he was wearing?
Could be a sign that
he's back with Bowyn.
Which means he'll
probably be signing
with the Stars after all.
Not so fast.
I'm hearing that we
can officially confirm
that Gonzo has re-signed a
new contract with the Bombers!
Well, sorry Bowyn.
Looks like you still
can't keep a man.
- Owww!
- That didn't sound so good.
Did I say that?
Okay.
Why do they gotta be so mean?
Let's go people!
We got a show to put on!
Let's go!
I don't know how I'm going to
handle seeing Drew tonight.
You won't have to.
He backed out.
Rob is taking his place.
Oh.
Are you sure you
want to do this?
Yeah.
You give so much love
to everyone else,
it's time you give
yourself that same gift.
Give it up
for the Bay Springs
Hospital Children's Choir!
Yeah, great job, you guys.
You were so great!
They grow up so
fast, don't they.
I mean...
So now, it is absolutely my
pleasure to bring to the stage
our very own Rob
Golden Gonville.
Let's get him up
here to introduce
our final performer
of the night.
Where's Robbie? Huh.
Please keep it going for the
stud in medicine, right here,
Dr. Glenn. Thank you very much.
So, most of you are going
to know this next person
as the most famous
pop star in the world.
I've had the pleasure
over the last few weeks
to get to know
her as a person.
I'm going to be honest
with you, I was skeptical.
But it didn't take long
for me to see that Bowyn
was so much more than what
the public gets to see.
Yeah, she's talented.
She's hard working,
she's inspirational.
But she's also just
doing her best
to live a good life
and be a good person.
And I can vouch first hand that
she is a very good person.
Plus she raised game
ratings and Bombers' merch
by like two hundred percent.
So if everyone could put
their hands back together
for the one and the only,
give her the warmest
welcome that we give,
Bowyn Sykes!
Come on up here, Bowyn.
Thank you.
I hope you don't mind, but
I am going to debut a
new song that I wrote.
It's called "The Gift".
When I was a girl I
made a Christmas list
All the things I ever wanted
Lots of shiny gifts
Come Christmas morning
wishes just became stuff
Cause underneath
all the wrapping
I thought I wasn't enough
I spent years searching
for perfect things
Decorating my tree
with golden rings
I took my heart and
hid it in a box
Buried it in the forest
under bricks and rocks
Then you came along and
told me to dig deep
And we made a promise but
it's one I can't keep
Cause I've been falling for
you like a star in the sky
And you are the angel
that taught me how to fly
So come Christmas morning
untie the bow
And know what
I feel is true
My love is a gift
that I'm giving to you
My love is a gift
that I'm giving to you
My love is a gift
that I'm giving to you
Oh and I know I don't usually
reveal who my songs are about,
but just to be clear, this song
is most definitely about Drew.
So Drew, if you're watching the
live stream, you were right.
I know I promised not to
fall in love with you,
but I couldn't help it.
You're everything I
thought I never needed.
So I'm going to
make a new promise.
I don't know what
the future holds,
but as long as I'm
holding on to you
I promise I won't
fumble again.
Is that a pinkie promise?
You're not the only one
who broke that promise.
I fell so deeply in
love with you too.
I don't care who's watching.
It could be a million
people or nobody.
Nothing matters.
It's just me and you.
You deserve all the
love in the world
and I will do my best
to give it to you.
I will always be your
biggest cheerleader.
Always.
Are we doing this?
Let's freaking go!
Come on.
Go outside build a snowman
Kind of nice to
have no plans
I can almost hear the bells
so let the carolers sing
Hey!
Merry Christmas!
Okay, I know I said
my love was the gift,
but I got you
something else.
Wow!
I hope it's legos.
Stop!
No way. The puzzle.
Yeah!
Oh my gosh.
I don't need all the pieces
to see the big picture.
Well, that's too bad.
Why?
You found it!
I love you.
You're the missing piece, Bow.
Aw... We do fit.
And I love you.
Touchdown!
I can't stop loving you
Take my heart and wrap it
Wrap it in a box
Cause I can't stop
loving you
With a bow on top
A bow on top, a bow on top
Loving you with a bow on top
A bow on top, a bow on top
Loving you with a bow on top
Loving you with a bow on top
I can't stop loving you
