BRAN’S GILMORE GIRLS (SEASON 1 EPISODE 8 & 9) SYNOPSIS
We start at our first town hall meeting, led by Patty and Taylor. The town meetings are must-see TV. Coming up is the reenactment of the Battle of Stars Hollow, and everyone is completely locked in — except Luke, who just wants to get to actual town issues. It’s a whole thing. Classic Stars Hollow.
The first snow of the season is coming, and Lorelai is pumped. She loves snow and claims she can smell it. She jumps out of bed to listen to a new voicemail from Max Medina.
The next day, Rory is hanging out with Lane before school. Lane is trying to tell her about her crush, but Rory is too distracted by school and Dean to really listen.
The snow starts coming down, so Emily invites Rory to stay the night at her grandparents’ house.
Back in Stars Hollow, Lorelai is out enjoying the snow when she bumps into Max Medina, whose car has broken down in town. His bad luck turns into good luck because they finally get to go on that date.
Meanwhile, Lane is losing her mind and touches her crush’s hair. She runs to the Gilmore house to tell Rory, only to find Rory isn’t there. She calls to complain about her best friend never being aroun…

BRAN’S THE WAY TO YOU SYNOPSIS
Emma is hanging out with Leo, her friend (and ex-boyfriend). She’s a gallerist and he’s an artist — tale as old as time.
We then meet Conrad, who’s talking with a co-worker about love. Both Emma and Conrad are single and ready to mingle. Emma’s sister encourages her to get out of her comfort zone when it comes to dating, and she comes up with an idea: hop on the subway to the financial district during the morning commute to meet a “man in finance.”
So Emma wakes up early to catch the train. And who else is up early and hopping on the subway? Conrad.
While walking toward the platform, Conrad finds a book on the floor. He tracks down the woman who dropped it — and it’s not Emma, it’s someone else. But sparks are sparking. When she walks away, he decides to go after her. They talk on the train and it’s going great.
Emma is also on the train when coffee gets spilled on her. Then the train suddenly stops — it’s a blackout! Emma and coffee guy are hitting it off. Conrad and book girl are hitting it off. It’s meant to be!
The next day, Conrad can’t stop thinking about the girl from the train, so he puts an ad in the paper asking to meet his missed connection.
Emma sees it and thinks it might be about her, so she shows up — only to realize it’s not coffee guy. She’s bummed, but agrees to help Conrad find the mystery girl.
As they start hanging out more, the sparks obviously begin between the two of them — even though they’re supposed to be helping each other find …

BRAN’S THOR SYNOPSIS
Three scientists — Jane Foster, Erik Selvig, and Darcy Lewis — are driving a van through the desert when they witness a lightning storm forming. Jane isn’t surprised, though, because she believes she can predict the appearance of wormholes. Suddenly, the van hits a man. He’s hot. And breathing.
We’re then given some historical context. In 965 AD, the Frost Giants invaded Earth in Norway, using the Tesseract in hopes of taking over the planet. Luckily, the Asgardians showed up, forced the Frost Giants to retreat, and took the Tesseract with them.
We learn that Odin is telling this story to his two sons — one blond, one dark-haired — explaining that both are worthy, but only one can be king. A classic way to pit two brothers against each other. That always ends well!
Flash forward to present day: Asgard is pumped because blond-headed Thor is about to be crowned king. And wouldn’t you know it — Loki is insanely jealous.
Before Thor can be crowned, the Frost Giants break into the vault that houses the Casket of Ancient Winters. Thor loses it. He flips a giant table and demands retaliation. Odin says no and reminds him that he is not king yet.
Thor says “heard that” and immediately travels through a portal to confront the Frost Giants himself. A fight breaks out. Loki discovers that the Frost Giants can’t harm him — his skin even turns blue like theirs. Odin shows up, stops the battle, apologizes to the Frost Giant king, and brings everyone home.

Six months later, Stark is constantly bragging that his Iron Man armor is helping maintain world peace. He’s summoned to a government hearing where officials demand that he turn over the Iron Man technology. Tony’s rival, Justin Hammer—now the military’s main defense contractor—is also there. Hammer presents evidence showing that foreign nations are close to developing their own versions of Iron Man suits. Stark refuses to hand over the technology, insisting that other countries and competitors (including Hammer Industries) are decades away from recreating his work and that the armor is his personal property.
Meanwhile, the core in the arc reactor that keeps Stark alive and powers the armor is slowly poisoning him. Believing he’s running out of time, Tony suddenly names Pepper Potts the new CEO of Stark Industries and hires someone named Natasha Rushman as her replacement.
After discovering he’s more than 50% poisoned, Stark impulsively decides to drive in a Formula 1 race. Mid-race, Vanko shows up and attacks Tony with electrified whip weapons.

She notices Jake taking photos and helps him figure out the right lens. But what is he taking pictures of? Well—plot twist—he’s undercover! A very expensive necklace was stolen from a museum, and Jake got a tip that a buyer would be at this hotel sometime this week. That’s why he’s there. The big question: who has the necklace?

The movie kicks off with a quick montage explaining how Bruce Banner became the Hulk. You know the deal. The military, however, is very interested in finding him because… he’s extremely dangerous.
Five years later, Bruce is living in Brazil, lying low. He’s doing breathing exercises to keep his heart rate down and working at a bottling factory. He’s also desperately searching for a cure for his Hulk-ness, secretly chatting online with someone named Mr. Blue.
One day at work, Bruce cuts his finger, and a drop of his blood falls into one of the bottles. That bottle eventually makes its way to the U.S., where it causes serious problems for the guy who drinks it. Using this contaminated bottle, the military tracks Banner’s location. A strike team led by Emil Blonsky is sent in to capture him.
Bruce transforms into the Hulk and completely wrecks Blonsky’s team. Blonsky, instead of being terrified, is impressed and immediately wants that power for himself.

We also meet Claire’s neighbor, Jeanne, who appears to have the perfect family and is extremely prim and proper.
Claire grows increasingly sad when she realizes none of her kids seem to have picked up on her very obvious hints (and direct requests) to submit her for the Zazzy contest. When the whole family leaves without her to attend a Christmas show, she snaps. Claire packs up and decides to drive to California to find Zazzy herself.
This sparks an all-out family meltdown. Arguments explode, feelings get hurt, and everyone storms off in different directions.
Claire ends up at a hotel where only one room is available. Another woman arrives at the same time, so they agree to share—but the noise is unbearable. Claire opts to sleep in her car… which promptly…

Lorelai is doing Rory’s nails. Why? Because tomorrow is Rory’s first day at Chilton! Nothing can ruin this.
Except… sleeping in.Rory wakes Lorelai up at 7:10, and they are up against it. The only clean thing Lorelai has to wear is her Dukes of Hazzard look—and she has to go inside and meet the headmaster. Naturally, it takes about two minutes for a dad to hit on her. When they finally make it to Headmaster Charleston’s office, Emily is already there waiting. She insists Lorelai take off her jacket, and Lorelai immediately regrets it.
Lorelai heads back to Stars Hollow, where everyone is shocked by what she wore to Rory’s first day of school.
Meanwhile, Rory’s first day is off to a rocky start. The classes are hard, she’s greeted very coldly by a girl named Paris, and she’s aggressively hit on by a dude named Tristan.
Back at the Inn, Lorelai is stunned to see the Chilton dad again—he’s shown up to ask her out. She shuts it down immediately; dating a Chilton dad would be way too complicated.
While trying to open her locker, Rory accidentally bumps into Paris, who’s carrying a project for their ne…

It’s the first day of school, but the classroom just isn’t ready. Nathan shows up with flowers for Elizabeth and encourages her, though she wonders if it might be too soon for these new kids to be back in school at all.
Speaking of new kids, Gwen is not thrilled about school—and even less thrilled that Rosemary is trying to dress her in ugly, scratchy outfits.
Edie talks with Lucas about needing a place to stay and casually starts doing jumping jacks. Lucas is enjoying every second of it.
At school, there’s a new kid named Rupert who is a total nerd and absolutely not interested in putting up with Allie’s nonsense. Unfortunately for both of them, they’re clearly the two smartest kids in the class. Competition incoming.
The day starts off slowly, so Elizabeth encourages the Hope Valley kids to get to know the Benson Hills kids. Instead, the Benson Hills kids immediately start talking about how much they hate it in Hope Valley.
Molly thinks she saw someone carrying something into the woods before the fire. Lee is convinced it was McGinty. Bill and Nathan want to handle things by the book, but Lee is frustrated that they aren’t arresting McGinty without proof. Honestly, he should move to America.
Allie tries to talk to Ollie about Julius Caesar, but the guy could not care less.

Claire is house-sitting for her sister while she’s in the Amazon for work when a letter arrives saying her sister has been accepted for a fellowship, but she needs to sign it by the end of next week. With no way to contact her, Claire decides the only option is to deliver it herself.
She hops on a plane and hires a riverboat captain named Danny to take her to her sister, but Danny says the location is too remote. Undeterred, Claire joins the next excursion headed in the right direction, planning to figure it out as she goes. Unfortunately, it’s going to take way too long. She tries hiring other guides, but no one wants to go that far into the jungle.
Eventually, she runs into Danny again, and he gives in once he realizes who her sister is. They actually know each other. So off they go.
Along the way, they stop in different villages. At first, the crew isn’t thrilled with Claire, but eventually they warm up to her and basically let her join the team. They get as far as they can by boat and then have to continue on foot through the jungle. During the trek, Claire panics, thinking she hears her sister calling out to her, but it turns out to just be the “tree of Chucky.” Classic jungle moment.
After a long journey, she finally finds her sister. She delivers the paperwork, and the sisters start talking about Danny. Claire insists she could never be with him—unfortunately, Danny overhears this and is clearly hurt.

BRAN’S IRON MAN SYNOPSIS
We meet playboy Tony Stark. He’s in the back of a military Humvee, answering all their questions about how cool he is, when they’re suddenly attacked by Stark Industries explosives. He passes out—and when he comes to, he realizes he’s being held captive.
Cut back 36 hours earlier. Tony is supposed to be receiving an award… except he doesn’t show up. He’s too busy “working.” After the event, a journalist confronts him about selling weapons to terrorists. He denies it—and then they hook up. So that’s Tony.
We meet Pepper Potts, Tony’s hyper-competent personal assistant; “Happy” Hogan, his bodyguard and chauffeur; and most importantly, J.A.R.V.I.S., his personal AI system.
Tony heads to Afghanistan to show off his flashy new “Jericho” missile. It’s a big deal. It’s also very bad.
Now we’re back at the beginning. Tony was critically wounded in the ambush, but fellow captive Yinsen built an electromagnet to keep shrapnel from reaching Tony’s heart and killing him. Problem… temporarily solved.
Tony’s captors are the Ten Rings terrorist organization, and they demand he build a Jericho missile. If he doesn’t, he won’t be set free. Instead of building the missile, Tony secretly builds a weaponized suit to help them escape. The Ten Rings discover his plan, and Yinsen sacrifices himself to distract them while the suit powers up. Tony fights his way out of the cave, finds Yinsen dying, and—furious—destroys the terrorists’ munitions before flying away. He eventually …

Welcome to Stars Hollow, founded in 1779 and thriving! We meet Lorelai as she walks into Luke’s Diner and asks for coffee. He tells her she has a problem because she’s a coffee junkie—but there’s nothing he can do about it. Why? Because he loves her. I mean… maybe not. It’s the pilot.
We also meet her 15-year-old daughter, Rory. While getting coffee, a random dude hits on both of them separately. Classic Gilmore Girls—so close in age they could be sisters.
Lorelai heads to work at the Independence Inn, where we meet her coworkers: Michel, a rude French man who runs the front desk, and Sookie St. James, the wildly talented and chaotic chef—and Lorelai’s best friend. Sookie dreams of one day owning an inn with Lorelai.
Meanwhile, Rory is hanging out with her best friend, Lane Kim. They’re discussing an upcoming hayride that Lane’s mom is forcing her to attend in hopes of setting her up with the son of one of her friends.

But the joy doesn’t last long. Lorelai finds out how much Chilton costs—and it’s a lot. They need the money immediately, or Rory can’t start on Monday. There’s only one option, and it’s the worst one: asking her wealt…

Nathan and Joseph go searching and find the boys, though the fire is really growing. It feels like they’re about to get trapped… but nope. They all make it out just fine.
As the fire spreads, a mandatory evacuation is ordered. Before anyone can fully evacuate, the wind shifts and the fire starts heading toward Benson Hills. That means the folks from Benson Hills have to evacuate to Hope Valley. It’s a whole thing—Lucas works some magic, a giant gets arrested (even though Bill clearly has a health issue), and everyone bands together.
There’s a girl named Genevieve who’s heartbroken because her dad is missing, so Rosemary decides to hire her as a babysitter to help keep her mind off things.
Nathan goes out again to search for missing people and comes back with bad news: Benson Hills is gone. They also find Genevieve’s dad, and he’s in really bad shape.
For now, everything seems okay—but Lee is convinced this fire wasn’t an accident. How does a fire burn down a national park the day before it’s supposed to open? Lee has a theory… McGinty.

When she lands, Georgie is completely exhausted—so exhausted that she buys an insane hat. Her driver is nowhere to be found, and as she wanders around in a jet-lagged haze, she nearly gets hit by a car. Luckily, the driver is hot. Even luckier? He’s her driver.
His name is Zach, and Georgie insists he stay on as her driver, despite the fact that he calls her “Georgie Girl.” Zach knows all the spots that really show off Melbourne, and they have an amazing time together. Georgie starts to notice that people occasionally point at them or try to take photos. Eventually, she spots a poster of Zach as an athlete, and he comes clean: he’s a famous footy player who went out with an injury a few years ago. Thinking about it is still too painful, so it’s easier for him to avoid the topic altogether.
They continue hanging out and really hitting it off, which means it’s time for Georgie to meet his family and friends. They’re out in the grass looking at kangaroos when they almost kiss—but they’re interrupted by soundcheck for a party. The sparks are FLYING. This has been the best trip.

Lucas calls Elizabeth with bad news: the inspector who’s supposed to approve the new diabetes center in Hope Valley is stuck in Toronto due to the strike and might not make it until spring. So they decide to return to Hope Valley, but only for the weekend. Before they leave, Jack’s mom tells Nathan that she approves. Nathan is like, “I haven’t even proposed,” and she’s like, “You will.”
When they get back to Hope Valley, they share the bad news with everyone. Oliver is also there — and he has a mustache. Apparently, he’s been writing letters to Allie all summer.
We learn that Gowen’s son, Christopher, has been a huge help in getting the new playhouse up and running, including installing electricity.
The whole town comes together for the lighting of the first traffic light in Hope Valley.

Max is a talented chef who can’t seem to break out, despite being incredible at his job. He tried opening his own restaurant a few years ago, but it failed, and now he works for another chef who takes credit for everything Max creates.
There’s one ultra-wealthy person in all of Fiji that both Sophia and Max want to pitch for funding.
Max’s buddy happens to be a private jet pilot, so he offers to get Max to Fiji. What he doesn’t mention is that Max will have to work the flight as a flight attendant. The passenger? Sophia.
They actually hit it off on the flight — until they fly into a massive storm and crash-land. Honestly, they both handle it shockingly well. With nothing to do but survive, they start opening up about their lives. Things are going fine… until they wake up the next morning and realize all their belongings — including the snacks — have been washed out to sea.
The pilot and co-pilot head out to find civilization. They succeed, but can’t figure out how to get back to the original island.
Max catches a fish and cooks a delicious meal, because of course he does. Stranded life turns out to be kind of amazing. They grow even closer, and when Sophia injures her foot, Max gets the perfect excuse to carry her and take care of her.

A group of people stop to listen to a woman playing the violin, including Georgia and her punk boyfriend, Andrew — a guy who actively hates teachers. He’s shocked to hear that she doesn’t want to go to a Chase Knightly dinner event, and in his disbelief, he breaks up with her. Unsurprisingly, she’s sad.
Speaking of Chase Knightly, we meet him next. He’s a playboy that the tabloids love to hate. When he arrives at his accommodations, he realizes he doesn’t have his keys — his assistant has them. So, the driver drops him off at a nearby community center.
Georgia is also at the community center, keeping an eye on a girl until her uncle arrives. That uncle? Andrew — who shows up with a new girlfriend. Chase witnesses the whole scene and pretends to be Georgia’s boyfriend to make Andrew jealous. It works.
This sparks an idea. With a big merger coming up, Chase could use some good press. He proposes a deal: “Be my girlfriend for the holiday season, and I’ll donate money to build a new community center.”
They begin hanging out, doing Christmas activities, helping her prep for the Christmas pageant, ice skating, and — naturally — starting to genuinely like each other.

Kate is on a train, replaying the kiss in her head — and Cal is doing the exact same thing when Oliver shows up. Oliver wants to clear the air after Dates & Mates, reassuring Cal that telling the truth was the right thing to do… a comment that clearly hits deeper than intended.
On the train, Kate’s mom sits down across from her and gently asks what’s going on. Kate admits she kissed Cal. Her mom offers unexpected advice: find a third man — perspective is everything. Kate takes the advice and goes on a date with Charlie, an American.
But things get complicated fast when Kate bumps into Richard, who’s out on yet another date. Awkward all around.
Kate later confronts Cal for running away after the kiss and leaving her alone to process everything. Wanting to make things right, Laura and Cal work with the event organizer to set up a special do-over for Date 11. Unfortunately, Richard beats Cal to the punch, sending a car to pick Kate up and whisk her away for a carefully planned romantic night.
Meanwhile, Delilah continues aggressively pursuing Mac. Determined to clear things up, Mac goes to…

BRAN’S THE CHRISTMAS BABY SYNOPSIS
Erin is awakened early by the sound of her wife, Kelly, working on Christmas decorations in the living room. Kelly is designing elaborate Christmas set pieces for the theater, and she’s so consumed by the project that they haven’t even decorated their own house yet.
That night, Kelly is set to receive an award at a theater ceremony. Erin is running late because she’s finishing up at work. While getting changed at home, she hears someone enter the house. When she goes to check, she doesn’t find a person — just a baby.
Erin tries to track down the baby’s parent, but no one is around. In the stroller, she finds a note addressed to Erin and Kelly, asking them to take care of a baby named Nicolas. The note says they’re sorry and that they tried.
Unsure what to do, Erin brings Nicolas with her to the event, arriving just in time to see Kelly win her award. Afterward, Kelly insists they call the authorities, which they do. Betty from DSS arrives to take Nicolas into care, but Erin immediately feels uneasy. The note clearly suggests the birth mother wanted Nicolas to be with them. Erin and Kelly talk to Betty, and Nicolas ends up going home with them.
The next day, their theater friends come over and help brainstorm who Nicolas’s parent might be. Soon after, both of their mothers arrive — uninvited — to “help.” The moms raise concerns about how Erin and Kelly’s lives aren’t exactly set up for a baby.

Evan Roderick as Daniel
BRAN’S A MAKE OR BREAK HOLIDAY SYNOPSIS
The movie kicks off like a Nutella commercial. Liv is throwing a Christmas party when a guy named Daniel crashes into her, sending eggnog everywhere. Instead of being mad, they hit it off immediately and end the night kissing under a Christmas wreath.
From there, they start dating, fall in love, and eventually buy a house together. Cut to the following Christmas: they’re hosting both of their families in the new house. But it quickly becomes clear that things in Loveland are not as perfect as they seem. Liv is extremely stressed, while Daniel’s solution is basically, “You should just put all that stress in a box somewhere.” Shockingly, this does not help.
The tension boils over into an argument, and they decide to take a break. The problem? Neither of them can bring themselves to tell their parents. So they agree to pretend everything is fine for the holidays.
Once the families arrive, chaos ensues. Liv’s dad is aggressively committed to traditions she hates — including an absolutely unhinged candy game. Daniel’s sister immediately clocks that something is wrong and confronts him. He comes clean to her, just as Liv confides in her brother. Both siblings agree to keep the secret… for now.
As they stumble through Christmas together, there are moments where Liv and Daniel remember how much they still love each other — followed by moments that push them even further apart. Their families don’t help. Everyone …

BRAN’S THE BEST THING ABOUT CHRISTMAS SYNOPSIS
The movie kicks off with Dylan playing a tune for his wife, Kara, while she folds laundry. He keeps singing, “I’m gonna make you romantic,” and she starts singing along with him. Dylan is an aspiring musician, even though he’s definitely getting a bit too old for this, especially with four kids — including 18-year-old Molly, who is also an aspiring musician.
Molly goes with her dad to one of his gigs, where a record executive notices them and ends up signing them to a record label! Off to Nashville they go, despite Kara being really hesitant about the idea. But Dylan is the man of the house, and he makes the rules.
On Christmas Eve, Dylan gets devastating news — Molly has been killed in a car crash. Dylan spends the next part of the movie acting like a bit of a dirtbag. The record label woman tries to make a move on him, and he realizes how much he’s been screwing things up. In frustration, he smashes his guitar on the ground.
He visits Molly’s gravesite and has a heartfelt conversation with the pastor. Afterward, he apologizes to Kara and the rest of his family. He decides to hold a fundraiser in Molly’s honor, encouraging everyone to bring warm clothes to donate — something Molly was very passionate about.
The fundraiser is a smash hit. Dylan brings out Mark Wills and his youngest daughter to perform a song that he and Mo…

BRAN’S MY SECRET SANTA SYNOPSIS
The movie kicks off with a guy and a gal about to rob a joint. He says, “Let me do it, I have a record.” She says, “Let me do it, I can break into the safe.” They both go for it.
Cut back two weeks. We see the same gal, Sophia, pickpocket a guy who is being mean to some buskers. We then see that guy from the beginning, Nick, trying to find a new flat, but everything is too expensive. Sophia goes to work at a fancy store called Sterlings — the same store she was planning to rob at the beginning. She hates it when people are mean, so when a customer mistreats an employee, she steals the woman’s dog’s diamond collar.
Nick, who works at a cell phone repair shop, watches the Sterlings security cameras and sees her do this — and also notices her stealing some petty cash. But there’s a good reason: her mom is very sick and needs expensive treatment.
Nick visits her the next day, asks if she knows where he could find a diamond collar, and hands her a USB before scurrying off. That night, Sophia watches the video — it’s footage of her stealing, along with a message to meet him the next day.
She meets him, and he blackmails her into helping him rob the Sterlings security locker. She says no while pickpocketing his locker. Needing the money, she reluctantly agrees to help him in exchange for a cut, since she knows his identity as the guy who installed the security footage and was previously arrested f…

Kate is at the coffee shop the next morning, lost in thought about Richard. Laura shows up and immediately asks for the latest. Kate hands her the phone, and Laura sees that Kate still hasn’t responded to his text. Laura calls her out — she can’t do to Richard what she’s done to other guys. Text him back. Kate finally does, but she decides she’s still going to keep moving forward with the 12 Dates.
The next date is with Liam, a guy she dated a few years ago — and apparently ghosted. Naturally, the date is an escape room, because nothing says closure like being trapped together. They end up working well as a team, make up, and the sparks start to fly. After they escape, Kate asks him to grab coffee the next morning.
Later, she stops by the shop to help Calum bake for the upcoming event, since Sarah is too busy to show up — even though the whole thing was her idea.
Meanwhile, Kate’s dad goes on a mysterious outing with Evelyn. They stop at a bar, …

Cut to the present day. Nikki is helping her dad at his church and working as the choir director, while Jake works at a music shop. His family’s synagogue is right across the street from her family’s church, and despite the rivalry, the families are friendly with each other.
We learn that the synagogue is really struggling. The heat isn’t working and, to make matters worse, a pipe bursts. When Jake finds out that his grandma slipped on the water while checking on the damage, he rushes home from the city. With Hanukkah starting in two days, no one knows what they’re going to do.
Jake goes to inspect the damage and spots Nikki across the street. He heads over, and the two immediately start bickering — clearly, nothing has changed.
The church offers to let the synagogue use its space. Jake agrees to help with his dad’s kids’ choir, while Nikki helps with her dad’s choir. Naturally, they turn everything into a competition, just like when they were kids. They get so competitive that the kids stop having fun and many qu…

As a result, she’s chosen to ghostwrite a memoir and is put up at the Grand Fairbanks Hotel in the legendary Cordelia Suite — a very big deal.
She meets Grayson Westcott, the man who hired her. She’ll be interviewing him about his life as an art broker and writing his memoir, but she only has until Christmas Eve to gather everything she needs.
One night, while working late, Sabrina craves a sandwich. She calls down to the bar, runs in, and starts eating the first sandwich she sees — which turns out to belong to Ian, who’s sitting nearby. He doesn’t mind at all and clearly wants to keep talking, but the bar is closing. Maybe another time.
The next day, Sabrina continues interviewing Grayson and learns that he was once Hazel Holly’s butler at this very hotel. He’s hesitant to talk about that part of his life, but when he opens up, she’s completely captivated.
Later, she runs into Ian again and they grab coffee. He tells her he works for a charity and that it’s his first time in the city. What Sabrina doesn’t know is that he actually works for the royal family — so…

We meet Becca Collins, who runs Woof Moon. The company is not doing great. She’s even taken an online business course, but it hasn’t helped much.
Then we meet Logan Johnston. He used to work in sales but has recently been promoted to PR at an oil rig company — despite the executives not believing he’s the right fit for the job.
Becca’s brother-in-law works on an oil rig, and his communication suddenly gets cut off. Panicked, Becca calls the company and is connected to Logan. Logan doesn’t really have any information. She calls back again, and Logan starts to feel guilty about how little he can offer.
Wanting to do something meaningful, Logan decides to visit the family in person to reassure them and share what good news he can — that the workers are safe. He meets the family and tries to stick up for Big Oil. His boss then instructs him to take photos with the family to show that the company “cares.” Logan does, which upsets Becca.
She gets over it fairly quickly when Logan returns to check on her. He offers to help update Woof Moon’s website — web design is his real passion. They spend time together in the mountains and nearly kiss, until a kid shouts “EWWW!” from far away.
