2:12
Speaker 1: which include a handful of Hallmark appearances like Christmas Joy
2:16
Speaker 1: and The Perfect Bride Wedding Bells. So back to your point,
2:21
Speaker 1: this episode was a rough one for me for several reasons.
2:25
Speaker 1: I felt like it leaned real hard into like Hallmark Tropeland. Also,
2:29
Speaker 1: I feel like the vibe of this episode does not
2:32
Speaker 1: match the vibe of the next two episodes in terms
2:36
Speaker 1: of the way Katie's character is portrayed in some elements. Okay,
2:41
Speaker 1: so we start on the dream sequence, a nightmare sequence,
2:46
Speaker 1: and Katie and Kevin are getting married, and Gabby's like
2:51
Speaker 1: the black she She's being like left behind. She set
2:54
Speaker 1: the shitty table at the weddings or at the wedding reception,
2:58
Speaker 1: and every time someone comes in the door slams into
3:02
Speaker 1: the back of her chair. She's not invited to be
3:04
Speaker 1: part of the family events. And then of course it
3:07
Speaker 1: goes like a little koogie because in their cake cutting moment,
3:12
Speaker 1: Katie slams cake in her face and then we hear
3:14
Speaker 1: them chanting easy bake, Easy bake. It kind of made
3:20
Speaker 1: me feel bad. Much about this episode makes me feel bad.
3:23
Speaker 1: I mean I feel bad for Gabby for sure. Yeah.
3:27
Speaker 1: So Gabby wakes up and Katie is trying to wake
3:31
Speaker 1: her and she's like calling her easy bake in that moment, yes,
3:35
Speaker 1: and Gabby's like, please don't call me that anymore. So
3:38
Speaker 1: this is like the first time we for me when
3:40
Speaker 1: I'm watching this, like we get confirmation that Katie is
3:43
Speaker 1: not as nice as she seems. Like I can't figure
3:46
Speaker 1: out throughout this entire episode, is is Katie clueless? Katie's
3:52
Speaker 1: an asshole? You think Katie's an asshole and she is Unwell, yeah,
3:57
Speaker 1: that's what I think. Well, I don't understand and how
4:00
Speaker 1: she doesn't know that she has to know that easy
4:03
Speaker 1: Bake is a mean nickname. Absolutely, like she has to
4:07
Speaker 1: know I mean spoiler alert for the end of the episode.
4:10
Speaker 1: She knows the second it happens that it's mean. Mm hmm.
4:14
Speaker 1: I think that's my issue with this episode is I
4:15
Speaker 1: find a lot of it kind of unbelievable, Like the
4:18
Speaker 1: way Katie behaves. I don't really I don't buy it,
4:21
Speaker 1: I guess, and Gabby. Gabby doesn't buy it either, Like
4:25
Speaker 1: we've got this split of like mom and Dad love
4:27
Speaker 1: Katie because Kevin loves Katie and they're so happy and
4:30
Speaker 1: they're so glad to have in her family. And Gabby's like, yo,
4:33
Speaker 1: she is not what she seems. I mean once again,
4:37
Speaker 1: like Gabby's trying to film her cooking audition, she's making
4:39
Speaker 1: breakfast burritos and uh oh, Katie ordered breakfast burritos for
4:43
Speaker 1: the whole family. Yeah, this is this bugged me because
4:47
Speaker 1: it's a second time that it's happened, and the family
4:50
Speaker 1: is just like okay with it, Like the mom and
4:51
Speaker 1: dad are like, oh, but Katie's so nice, so let's
4:55
Speaker 1: disregard what you're doing for us right now and give
4:59
Speaker 1: all the praise to care. I just can't understand the
5:01
Speaker 1: parents in this situation being like, oh, my daughter was
5:03
Speaker 1: cooking a meal, let me eat this takeout instead. Yeah
5:05
Speaker 1: I know. Oh, I'll pop this in the refrigerator and
5:08
Speaker 1: eat this burritle later. I will eat the homemade burrito
5:10
Speaker 1: that my daughter is making. Of course, we also see
5:14
Speaker 1: more like Manetti Hannah hand drama because Manny's like so
5:17
Speaker 1: over Chuck and his bucket lifter next door, and Gabby's like,
5:21
Speaker 1: oh yeah, we hate the Manetti Hannah hands, and Dad's
5:23
Speaker 1: like no, no, like my beef is with Chuck, not
5:27
Speaker 1: the whole hand with Katie. Right, yeah, yeah, but I'm
5:30
Speaker 1: sure like growing up, you don't think you don't think
5:33
Speaker 1: the whole like the whole family got thrown under the bus.
5:37
Speaker 1: I think they totally got thrown under the bus. I
5:40
Speaker 1: mean you definitely see that with Chuck, right, because like
5:43
Speaker 1: later in the episode, like Chuck is not welcoming to Kevin,
5:46
Speaker 1: right and I'm sure Manny felt the same way, but
5:49
Speaker 1: in this moment, he's like, no, no, no, we love Katie.
5:50
Speaker 1: This is just Chuck and Gabby's like, no, maybe we
5:53
Speaker 1: don't love Katie. Yeah. Another thing that really kind of
5:56
Speaker 1: pisses me off about this episode is like you're telling
5:58
Speaker 1: me the mom was not aware of this entire Like
6:01
Speaker 1: easy bake nickname that Gabby had was so traumatic, Like
6:05
Speaker 1: if someone's mean to my kid, they're on my list
6:07
Speaker 1: for the rest of their lives. Burn their house down, yes,
6:11
Speaker 1: Like yeah, I really have. I would believe it more
6:15
Speaker 1: if we saw like moms struggling with like Okay, well
6:19
Speaker 1: my son loves her, but she was mean to my daughter,
6:21
Speaker 1: Like how do I recte? How do I reconcile those
6:24
Speaker 1: that would have been a better story instead of just
6:26
Speaker 1: like ignoring everything. Gabby says, like, in my mind, they're
6:29
Speaker 1: just like gaslighting her this entire totally. And Gabby does
6:33
Speaker 1: go to her brother because Kevin and Katie are going
6:36
Speaker 1: to play Santa and Missus Claus at the stroll and
6:38
Speaker 1: he's talking about a future with Katie and Gabby's like
6:41
Speaker 1: trying to influence him, like she's still a mean girl,
6:45
Speaker 1: and He's like, you're overthinking it. Mm hmm. I'm like,
6:48
Speaker 1: believe her. Believe women. Yeah, I mean, Gabby's feelings are
6:52
Speaker 1: super valid here. And Kevin's just like, well, give her
6:55
Speaker 1: a chance. Like Kevin was not hearing her though he
6:58
Speaker 1: was not hearing, he wasn't hear her, and like to
7:01
Speaker 1: prove Gabby's point, Katie comes in. Katie's probably heard what
7:05
Speaker 1: Gabby was saying, but she's like, is that what you're
7:08
Speaker 1: wearing again? Mean? Girls, She just like, how is it
7:12
Speaker 1: not obvious? M it is so obvious. Cut to the
7:17
Speaker 1: scene that I'm convinced was meant to be like a
7:19
Speaker 1: horror film to anymore. They're gonna go chopped on a
7:23
Speaker 1: tree in the forest. Yeah, and these are things when
7:27
Speaker 1: we are not familiar with. You don't eat where we live,
7:29
Speaker 1: you don't go cut down trees well here either, by
7:32
Speaker 1: the way, because in my notes, I'm like, I'm not
7:34
Speaker 1: actually sure allowed to just like show up in a
7:36
Speaker 1: forest and chop things down. But Katie, she's leading with
7:38
Speaker 1: confidence and she's got a chain sauce, and Kevin seems
7:41
Speaker 1: to think that's pretty hot, and so Gabby's like, okay,
7:44
Speaker 1: they all go and Katie again, She's like you seem tense,
7:48
Speaker 1: and she tries out some new nicknames on Gabby, like
7:50
Speaker 1: slow poke and Gabs and Gabby's like, knock it off,
7:53
Speaker 1: like leave me alone. Isn't there a part of you
7:56
Speaker 1: if you were Gabby wouldn't be like stop this bs
8:00
Speaker 1: right now. Yeah, Like I don't know. I don't like
8:04
Speaker 1: the character of Katie at all. And I was mad
8:07
Speaker 1: at Gabby for not like you're a full adult now,
8:11
Speaker 1: like I know, like when you're made fun of as
8:14
Speaker 1: like a middle schooler, like those wounds run deep for
8:17
Speaker 1: a long time, but like I needed Gabby to like
8:20
Speaker 1: stand up in that moment and just be like stfu
8:25
Speaker 1: agree And even Gabby's like, don't you think like it's
8:28
Speaker 1: weird us hanging out after our past, and Katie's like
8:31
Speaker 1: it's just a time of peace and goodwill and I'm like,
8:33
Speaker 1: what are you doing? What are you doing? Again? They
8:37
Speaker 1: arrive at the Magical Christmas Tree Forest and they find
8:40
Speaker 1: the perfect tree that is exactly the right size. Of course,
8:44
Speaker 1: Gabby's usually the one to pick the family tree, but
8:47
Speaker 1: you know, Mom points out like usually Gabby picks the
8:51
Speaker 1: perfect tree, and Katie kind of lets her, but she's
8:55
Speaker 1: not gonna let it in there because as she's cutting
8:57
Speaker 1: down the tree, shocker, it falls on Gabby. Right. I
9:03
Speaker 1: was like, that does seem physically impossible based on the
9:06
Speaker 1: direction that they're cutting the trees that would fall towards Gabby.
9:08
Speaker 1: But you can also see it coming Tho's like timber
9:12
Speaker 1: moment and more mean girl stuff, like Katy's filming it now, yes, yeah,
9:17
Speaker 1: like in her face, Like what world are these people not? Like, oh,
9:21
Speaker 1: maybe Katie is kind of terrible. Katy's the worst. I
9:25
Speaker 1: have no empathy for Katie whatsoever me either, none, zero,
9:30
Speaker 1: And she comes from that Manetti Hannah han family. Dad's
9:33
Speaker 1: an asshole, sister's an asshole. They're all terrible. Yeah, I
9:38
Speaker 1: mean there is some redemption in their story, but like, yeah,
9:41
Speaker 1: Clark's the only nice Manetti Hannah hand It's right, Okay.
9:45
Speaker 1: So Katie's like, I'll take you to the salondet all
9:47
Speaker 1: the sap out of your hair, and they're like talking
9:49
Speaker 1: about all going to the salon together, and as they're
9:52
Speaker 1: leaving Gabby, clock's a sign shocker that says logging and
9:56
Speaker 1: cutting strictly prohibited. Yeah, but that doesn't even play out right, Yes,
10:01
Speaker 1: it does I haven't seen the whole series. Oh okay,
10:06
Speaker 1: it plays out in a very silly way, but they
10:10
Speaker 1: close they close the loop. Okay this again. Next scene
10:14
Speaker 1: has horror movie vibes at the salon for me, Katie's
10:17
Speaker 1: absolutely unhinged in this moment. She's like, I heard you
10:21
Speaker 1: trying to sabotage my relationship and I'm like, get out, Gabby,
10:24
Speaker 1: get out. Yeah yeah, And Katie's like, I'm trying so
10:27
Speaker 1: hard for us to get along, but Gabby keeps getting
10:29
Speaker 1: in the way, and uh no, you're not trying. I
10:33
Speaker 1: wonder if it's like the product of being from a
10:35
Speaker 1: big family where you just like that family, the Menetti
10:38
Speaker 1: Hannah Hand family is like so filled with conflict and
10:40
Speaker 1: strikes that you don't really know do they not know
10:43
Speaker 1: how to behave? It's very odd to me. And Katie
10:46
Speaker 1: makes a comment like I guess being a Menete hand
10:48
Speaker 1: Hand isn't good enough for a camarina, and like, is
10:51
Speaker 1: that the vibe here? Like the cameriinas think they're too good?
10:54
Speaker 1: That's not the impression I got. The impression like Manny
10:57
Speaker 1: is super annoyed by Chuck. Yeah, like Chuck annoys him,
11:01
Speaker 1: like his lights are too bright, his bucket litter. No,
11:04
Speaker 1: Chuck is not nice, but at this point we don't
11:06
Speaker 1: really know that so much. We just know that he's
11:08
Speaker 1: like real big on Christmas. I just think that Manny
11:12
Speaker 1: finds Chuck annoying, not so much like beneath him. Yeah, exactly,
11:16
Speaker 1: What's what I was gonna say. Then it gets real
11:19
Speaker 1: weird because Katie says Kevin and I are going the
11:23
Speaker 1: distance and you're gonna be left alone in the desert.
11:26
Speaker 1: She's like, basically like, you need to stand down or
11:29
Speaker 1: I'll murder you. Yeah, it was weird. In my notes,
11:32
Speaker 1: I wrote Katie as in, well, this is actually a
11:34
Speaker 1: weird storyline. She seems sad that Gabby's not on her side,
11:38
Speaker 1: but she makes these weird threats. Watching this, to me,
11:41
Speaker 1: I was like, this is so not Hallmark, like in
11:44
Speaker 1: the vein of Hallmark. And while I often praise Hallmark
11:49
Speaker 1: for playing outside of the box, like, I did not
11:52
Speaker 1: like any of this. So I will say I've seen
11:55
Speaker 1: seen the next two episodes and I'm telling you, the
11:57
Speaker 1: way this storyline plays out, it doesn't match the tone
12:00
Speaker 1: of this episode at all. Again, this episode is dark.
12:05
Speaker 1: It has like horror movie undertones. Threats. Yes, it is
12:09
Speaker 1: a very different vibe from the entire rest of the
12:12
Speaker 1: series for me. But Kevin's still team I'm gonna marry Katie.
12:16
Speaker 1: So he goes to Chuck, who's like GTFO, man, you
12:20
Speaker 1: may not have my blessing, including picking up an axe
12:23
Speaker 1: to scare Kevin the way he does. I actually do
12:27
Speaker 1: think it's kind of funny because he's like, I've served
12:30
Speaker 1: four tours and the second worst experience in my life
12:34
Speaker 1: is you asking for my daughter's hole. It's like awful.
12:38
Speaker 1: And this goes back to Chuck being like a real
12:40
Speaker 1: jerk because like he might have a problem with Manny,
12:42
Speaker 1: But what's the problem with Kevin? Yeah, exact other than
12:46
Speaker 1: being the family. And then if you really want to
12:48
Speaker 1: like deep dive into it, is it because they're not white?
12:53
Speaker 1: I mean I don't know, Like what is their beef?
12:56
Speaker 1: Is it just like this long standing neighbor beef? Because
12:59
Speaker 1: why does Chuck like Manny? Is it just because Manny
13:03
Speaker 1: is always pushing back on like your lights are too
13:06
Speaker 1: bright and your truck is too loud and all of that. Yeah, perhaps,
13:09
Speaker 1: and so like does he just not like Manny because
13:12
Speaker 1: Manny doesn't like him? Maybe we see Sheriff Nora, which
13:16
Speaker 1: is nice. Gabby evince to Sheriff Bestie about Katie. But
13:23
Speaker 1: this is another scene where Nora is kind of like, well,
13:29
Speaker 1: maybe she's not that bad. But in this moment, Katie
13:32
Speaker 1: posts those embarrassing photos of Gabby and they go viral
13:36
Speaker 1: viral in the way a photo can only on Hallmark. Yeah. Oh,
13:40
Speaker 1: Gabby does something with the peppers I have here. Oh yeah,
13:43
Speaker 1: but there's there's a whole thing like Gabby comes Homeme
13:46
Speaker 1: and Clarice and Katie have made the tamalies, like this
13:49
Speaker 1: is a tradition that Gabby does with their mom, and
13:51
Speaker 1: Katie's taken over and Katie's like, I was trying to
13:56
Speaker 1: like give you a social media presence by posting that photo,
14:00
Speaker 1: like it's a hit. Come on. So this is when
14:05
Speaker 1: Gabby decides I'm gonna make this. I thought she was
14:09
Speaker 1: gonna make the salsa extra spicy, but instead she just
14:11
Speaker 1: hides like a super hot pepper in Katie's tomali. Yeah,
14:14
Speaker 1: I guess it wasn't like super clear she did something.
14:18
Speaker 1: I mean you see in the scene, like the pepper
14:21
Speaker 1: is like sticking out of the tamali. So like Kevin,
14:24
Speaker 1: how does Katie get that actual plate? That's a great question,
14:28
Speaker 1: because Kevin proposes, and Katie has taken a bite of
14:32
Speaker 1: this tamali and is basically like sobbing through the pain
14:36
Speaker 1: of the pepper. He is like assuming she's just like
14:39
Speaker 1: overcome with emotion and she's like sweating and crying and
14:43
Speaker 1: fanning herself, and this the parents get mad at. Yeah,
14:48
Speaker 1: this doesn't make sense to me. Okay, not a cool
14:52
Speaker 1: move on Gabby's part, but her parents don't get mad
14:56
Speaker 1: at Katie for anything. No, she's reached her breaking point. Yeah,
14:59
Speaker 1: we finally see the origin story of the easy Bake nickname.
15:04
Speaker 1: And what I think is interesting is like you see
15:07
Speaker 1: Katie call Gabby easy bake, and then you see all
15:10
Speaker 1: the other kids pick up on it, and young Katie
15:12
Speaker 1: seems to realize the error of her decision when like
15:17
Speaker 1: this funny throwaway mean girl comment was picked up and
15:21
Speaker 1: is now going to be the thing that's gonna fall
15:22
Speaker 1: Like she seems to regret it, right, but she never
15:25
Speaker 1: does anything about it, Like she participates and continue continues
15:30
Speaker 1: to add. Yeah, Gabby shows this video to the sheriff
15:36
Speaker 1: and she was like it is pretty damning, and Gabby's like, yeah,
15:40
Speaker 1: I'm showing Kevin, and Noa's like whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
15:43
Speaker 1: I don't know, now what would you do here? Are
15:46
Speaker 1: you just like so frustrated You're like, yeah, I'm gonna
15:48
Speaker 1: show the video. I would show the video to my brother.
15:52
Speaker 1: I'd be like, look, I know you love this woman,
15:54
Speaker 1: but she was a real jerk to me, Like you,
15:57
Speaker 1: it's okay to share those feelings with your brother if
16:00
Speaker 1: she's not, if she's truly not trying to convince Kevin like, oh,
16:03
Speaker 1: you can't marry this woman. I just would be like, well,
16:05
Speaker 1: this is who she was when she was a teenager,
16:07
Speaker 1: and this is why I feel the way I feel
16:08
Speaker 1: about her because she made my life terrible. Yeah, and
16:11
Speaker 1: sheriff Bestie wants Gabby to talk to Katie about what happened,
16:15
Speaker 1: and I'm like, have they never done that? Apparently not,
16:17
Speaker 1: and I guess not. Kevin is mad at Gabby at home,
16:20
Speaker 1: He's ignoring her. But Gabby goes to Katie and she's like,
16:25
Speaker 1: we we're gonna talk this out. And Gabby explains like
16:28
Speaker 1: why she carries so much resentment, and Katie apologizes and
16:32
Speaker 1: then she's like, are you gonna apologize to me, but
16:35
Speaker 1: you owe mean apology too. Now. In my opinion, these
16:41
Speaker 1: women both have wronged each other, but barely. But Gabby
16:45
Speaker 1: has barely wronged Katie here. Yeah, what Gabby did was
16:47
Speaker 1: found a new friend group and Katie was left behind.
16:51
Speaker 1: It to me, it does not feel like unintentional slight,
16:54
Speaker 1: like your friends change, your life changes, and you become
16:58
Speaker 1: friends with different people. Was Katie left behind? Is that hurtful? Yes?
17:04
Speaker 1: Was Kate? Were the intentions very different here? Yes? Yeah?
17:09
Speaker 1: The intention is because Gabby didn't treat Katie cruelly. Yeah,
17:15
Speaker 1: Katie treated Gabby cruelly for years and I yeah. And
17:21
Speaker 1: Katie in her mind is like, oh, you left me
17:24
Speaker 1: because you see that I'm beneath. I wasn't one of
17:27
Speaker 1: your smart friends or whatever. Just this bullshit. It's such
17:30
Speaker 1: a bullshit storyline. I can't. It enrages me. Actually, well,
17:34
Speaker 1: Gabby's like, are you telling me that we're both being girls?
17:36
Speaker 1: And I'm like no, yeah, I was like no, no, yeah,
17:40
Speaker 1: I was so mad watching this. They connect. They look
17:43
Speaker 1: at Katie's vision board. She asked Gabby to design them.
17:47
Speaker 1: Why is she making a vision board in their house?
17:49
Speaker 1: She does not live at that house. They've been engaged
17:52
Speaker 1: for like eight hours. I hated all of this, yes,
17:55
Speaker 1: because that's Gabby's room. But just as Katie and Gebby
17:58
Speaker 1: have reconciled, now the family have seen the video and
18:01
Speaker 1: they have all turned on Katie, mom, dad, and Kevin.
18:06
Speaker 1: Gabby does try to smooth things over. Now, this family
18:10
Speaker 1: does not want to listen to Gabby. They want to
18:12
Speaker 1: hear one word out of her for this way or
18:15
Speaker 1: the other way. I would be frustrated if I was Gabby,
18:17
Speaker 1: I would be pissed at like my mom, my dad,
18:20
Speaker 1: and my brother for like not listening to me. They
18:22
Speaker 1: don't listen to Gabby ever, no matter what she's saying,
18:25
Speaker 1: so they basically shun her. Katie leaves in tears, says
18:28
Speaker 1: she's not that person anymore, and but she is though
18:32
Speaker 1: she is that person still. Yes, she has shown herself
18:35
Speaker 1: to be that person over and over again in this episode. Yeah,
18:38
Speaker 1: so she's full of shit to be like, oh, I'm
18:40
Speaker 1: not that person anymore, because I don't know, like, were
18:43
Speaker 1: we the way it's written, maybe we're supposed to read
18:47
Speaker 1: it as her being helpful. I do not read any
18:49
Speaker 1: of it as her being helpful. I read it as
18:52
Speaker 1: her being underhanded and mean. Uh, me too, and particularly
18:56
Speaker 1: when she says like, do you have something to apologize
18:58
Speaker 1: to me for to Gabby, like she's harboring resentment against
19:02
Speaker 1: Gabby as well. Gabby wants to stay home and get
19:05
Speaker 1: her audition tape done and Mom's like, nope, you got
19:08
Speaker 1: to come to the stroll to support Santa Kevin, And
19:10
Speaker 1: I was like, why why does your adult son need
19:13
Speaker 1: his sister to be there? He doesn't. He chose to
19:17
Speaker 1: sign up for this nonsense and his adult sister, who
19:20
Speaker 1: has like a work opportunity on the line, does not
19:23
Speaker 1: need to go and see her Christmas Eve. Let her
19:25
Speaker 1: get her job done. And Mom's like, don't worry, we'll
19:28
Speaker 1: be home in time. But we know that a blackout
19:30
Speaker 1: is coming and know she won't. I also have in
19:33
Speaker 1: my notes Kevin Essanta is dumb. He's like this young kid, Yeah,
19:37
Speaker 1: why are you dress up as Anna? Get out of here?
19:39
Speaker 1: True excellent point. As they're leaving, we see Holland rode
19:44
Speaker 1: it up in the window, hand to the window and
19:46
Speaker 1: a single tear rolled down her cheek. The music is
19:51
Speaker 1: very melancholy, and Kevin is the saddest Santa. Ever, but
19:57
Speaker 1: then in a full one eighty, Katie shows up dressed
20:01
Speaker 1: as missus Claws at the stroll. Yeah, she's like wild
20:07
Speaker 1: eyed and return to the ring like two minutes earlier.
20:10
Speaker 1: She's like sad and melancholy looking at the window. Oh
20:14
Speaker 1: my god, there goes my what would have been my
20:16
Speaker 1: future husband? And then we're to this I know it
20:19
Speaker 1: there is It still doesn't make sense to me after
20:21
Speaker 1: seeing that other episode. Ohka, that's what you saw. Yeah,
20:24
Speaker 1: it's weird, Like how do you go from she is unwell?
20:29
Speaker 1: Oh and Hi Jinson, Sue, mister Hannah Man, Chuck like
20:34
Speaker 1: jumps Kevin. There's like a weird altercation, that's what. There's
20:37
Speaker 1: a weird altercation. There is a weird altercation involving Santa,
20:41
Speaker 1: Anna Snowman, and Chuck Minnetty Hannahan and security just like
20:44
Speaker 1: looks on like you can't just let some dude attack Santa.
20:48
Speaker 1: The children are going to be traumatized. It is now raining.
20:52
Speaker 1: As they returned home and Gabby's like, why does the
20:56
Speaker 1: house feel empty? And they're like all of Katie's presents
20:58
Speaker 1: that are for her and from her are gone, Like
21:00
Speaker 1: when did that happen? Yeah? Did Katie take them with
21:04
Speaker 1: her when she left? It doesn't make any sense Gabby
21:07
Speaker 1: Tray's this. I also hate this scene because Gabby's like,
21:11
Speaker 1: let's have a nice family moment, like it's Christmas Eve,
21:14
Speaker 1: let's have a nice drink, let's hang out, and they're like, Peece,
21:17
Speaker 1: I'm taed. Really gets done this? Its been too long,
21:19
Speaker 1: it's too much, which I can understand at some point,
21:22
Speaker 1: but like Gabby is trying to like rally the family
21:27
Speaker 1: just to have like a nice Christmas moment. Finally, the
21:29
Speaker 1: four of them together. I feel like this family hates
21:32
Speaker 1: Gabby and there's no reason too. They go to bed.
21:37
Speaker 1: Gabby's about to start filming how her audition video, and
21:40
Speaker 1: you know what happens. She's taking shots. I'll tell you
21:42
Speaker 1: that much. Yes, she's too emotional to film the video,
21:47
Speaker 1: and before she can get it done, boom, the power
21:51
Speaker 1: goes out the end. Does this get wrapped up in
21:54
Speaker 1: the last episode two her audition video? Yeah? Yes, in
21:58
