BRAN’S HAUNTED HARMONY MYSTERIES: BURIED AT C SYNOPSIS
We’re on a boat! This old dude is like, “Uh oh, the boat’s having issues. I’ll call it in.” The younger dude’s like, “No, just fix it,” while flashing his gun. The young guy takes a call and says he’s got it handled — all while eyeing a fancy violin. The old guy overhears and tries to call for help, but ends up getting smacked in the head.
Three months later, missing person posters are going up for the old captain — put up by his daughter.
Cut to Gethsemane, who’s conducting a choir (and crushing it) while trying to ignore her ghost friend, Eamon. She reveals a new statue to honor a dead guy, but everyone thinks it sucks. After the show, hottie Griff goes up to tell her how great it was — and of course Inspector O’Reilly isn’t far behind. Classic love triangle stuff.
She’s thrilled when her brother, Jackson, gets into town to visit. They sing a song and grieve the loss of their dad, who died a year ago.
They head to a pub, where Jackson ends up chatting with the violin guy from the beginning. Jackson, who works at a music store, asks to take a look. The guy says he should be able to sell it and retire. Jackson asks if there are any good bands playing, and the guy says the hotel he’s staying at has a piano player — that’s about it. He ends up leaving his bag behind, so Jackson goes to return it. When he gets there, the lights go o…

BRAN’S HAUL OUT THE HALLOWEEN SYNOPSIS
Evergreen Lane is the most festive street in America, and nothing is more festive than a wedding! Emily and Jared are the ones tying the knot — and even better, the Johnsons are gone! The wedding is beautiful, and everything seems perfect.
While Emily and Jared are on their honeymoon, a new couple moves in and decorates big for Halloween — like, really big. The rest of the crew wonders if they should contact Jared, the head of the HOA, but decide to wait until he’s back. When Jared finally sees the decorations, he’s so shocked he literally drops Emily.
He heads over to tell the new neighbors that all their lawn decorations have to go. “This is Evergreen Lane, not Everscream Lane!” But Jared is stunned to learn from Emily’s parents that the “no other holiday decorations” rule was never actually added to the bylaws.
We learn that Evergreen Lane used to go all out for Halloween, but after Emily’s Gram Gram passed away, her parents thought she wouldn’t want it anymore. Quite the opposite — Emily insists it’s time to bring the spooky fun back, because that’s exactly what Gram Gram would’ve wanted.
The committee gathers to gossip about the “weird new neighbors,” right as they walk in — Luna and Marvin. Turns out Luna really is a witch… in a play!
Emily and Jared soon announce that Everscream Lane is …

BRAN’S A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN SYNOPSIS
The movie kicks off in 1988 with Dottie Hinson attending the opening of a new exhibit at the Baseball Hall of Fame that celebrates the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League.
Suddenly, we're transported back to 1944 to learn how the league began. We meet a younger Dottie and her sister Kit, working hard on the dairy farm. A scout named Ernie arrives and tries to convince Dottie to join the league, but she agrees only if Kit can come too.
Off to Chicago they go to try out for the league — and they make the Rockford Peaches.
But who’s going to manage this squad? Former star player Jimmy Dugan. Jimmy Dugan sucks. He’s an alcoholic who only takes the gig to make some money so he can buy more booze. He doesn’t want to be there, which forces Dottie to step up as the team’s leader.
As the league grows more and more popular, the stadiums start selling out. The teammates bond, and everything is going great — until the guy running the league makes Dottie the face of it, which upsets her sister and ultimately leads to Kit getting traded.
The Peaches finish the season with the league’s best record, qualifying for the World Series. That evening, Dottie gets a surprise whe…

BRAN’S THE LITTLE GIRL WHO LIVED SYNOPSIS
The movie kicks off with a girl running out of a cabin and hiding. From what? From whom? While running through the woods, her necklace falls off. A bald dude who’s following her picks it up. The little girl makes it to a path and runs into a woman who’s jogging. She says, “Don’t let him find me.”
Cut to author Alice Kerrigan at a reading for her new book. A megafan is asking questions, and Alice drops a bombshell — her next book is going to be a firsthand account of her time with a serial abductor, The Strigoi, who kidnapped her as a kid.
This guy has never been caught, but Alice believes that by now he’s too old to pose a threat and finally feels ready to tell her story. But between the creepy megafan and her big announcement, Alice gets a bit jumpy.
Her cop sister comes to pick her up (very late, FYI), and they finally get to spend some time together. Her sister isn’t thrilled that Alice doesn’t paint the cops in a positive light in her books — and she’s really not thrilled to find out Alice plans to publicly share her story. They get into an argument. It’s not great.
That night, Alice wakes up to banging and booming outside her room. She grabs a lamp that’s lying nearby and goes to investigate. She gets downstairs and — surprise — the house has clearly been burglarized. Stuff is everywhere. Bu…

But then comes the bad news… the budget is in worse shape than she thought, and the board is suggesting cutting the arts. Over Cassidy’s dead body.
The hits keep coming — a pipe bursts in one of the dorms. Everything is going wrong, and it only gets worse when she bumps into a guy and her PSL goes all over her delightful jacket. She’s even more frazzled when she realizes that he’s hot.
She gets to the meeting and guess who’s there? Coffee guy. It’s Coach Logan, and he’s not pleased to hear how she “solved” the housing situation. His football squad lives in that dorm, and her plan is to have them stay at another college a couple towns over and shuttle them in. He says, “I have a better idea — the president’s house.” It’s massive, and it’s just Cassidy living there. She reluctantly agrees and immediately regrets it when their golf cart breaks a flower pot.
The first morning is rough — they wake her up at 6 a.m. with practice out back, leave her no hot water, and use all the oat milk. It’s a mess. They agree to lay down some new guidelines for the players. But after another screw-up that messes up a meeting with a potential big donor, Logan talks to the players, and they surprise Cassidy with dinner and an apology.

BRAN’S ADVENTURES IN LOVE & BIRDING SYNOPSIS
Celeste loves birds. We know this because she literally stops someone from trimming a tree branch that has a bird in it. She also has a daughter named Morgan.
Then we meet John—who also loves birds. We know this because he uses binoculars to look at them. John never finished his PhD, so he’s hoping that winning a big birding competition will give him the publicity he needs to finally go full-time with birding. He even thinks birding is cool because, apparently, James Bond likes birds.
Celeste’s friend overcommits and asks her to fill in as John’s partner for the competition. When Celeste realizes John is dealing with his ex—who just so happens to also be competing—she pretends to be his girlfriend. Meanwhile, the competition is a huge deal for John since the prize money could help him start his own business. Celeste asks him to teach her everything about birding, and in exchange, he tags along for a bowling outing and pretends to be her date. That’s right—double fake relationship.
At the bowling alley, John overhears Celeste’s friends saying they don’t think he really likes her because he never touches her. So what do they do? They kiss. Big ones.
Celeste finds herself not only getting into birds, but also getting into John. She’s falling for him for real. And it’s clear he’s falling for her too—until the big dance. When he won’t con…

It’s little league baseball time, folks, and little Billy Haywood is a bit of a baseball genius. He knows all the rules and even helps the ump with a call. Unfortunately, he’s not very good at actually playing baseball himself. Billy’s grandpa, Thomas, comes to watch him play, and he just seems like a normal grandpa—until we find out he’s filthy rich and owns the Minnesota Twins.
Billy goes to a Twins game with Grandpa, and it’s clear all the players know and love him. Grandpa convinces Billy’s mom to let him come back on Tuesday night to see Roger Clemens pitch. But when Billy gets home to get ready, he finds out Grandpa has passed away—and left the team to him.
Billy takes this responsibility seriously. When he decides he doesn’t like how the manager is running things, he fires him. After a brief search, Billy appoints himself as manager. The players are skeptical, but Billy promises that if he doesn’t get the last-place Twins moving up the standings in a few weeks, he’ll resign.

They eat and sing Up on the Housetop together, which somehow inspires her to decorate for Christmas. There’s something off about this guy, but I can’t quite place it. Then he recites A Visit from St. Nicholas and asks her to sing again, so they do The First Noel.
That’s when he breaks the news: her grandpa isn’t coming home. He says they spent hours together by a fire, had a heart-to-heart, grandpa wrote a poem to God…and then died. To cope, she sings Silent Night. Naturally.
They have a quick “nuanced” conversation about slavery and then immediately slide into What Child Is This. She says goodnight, and that’s when he drops the bomb: he actually killed her grandpa after grandpa shot him in the back. Oh, and by the way, they knew each other as kids and were first loves. He gives her another letter from grandpa, and they cap it all …

At dinner, things get awkward when the staff starts arguing. Reagan, the on-site cop, begins questioning the company’s hiring practices. But soon, it’s game time — and the tech is mind-blowing, featuring Bluetooth phone integration and even a hologram. Jason and Emilia dive into solving the puzzles, but then chaos strikes. A tiny dart shoots out of a bookshelf and hits Reagan in the neck. It’s tipped with honey — which she’s allergic to. Moments later, their Bluetooth game box explodes. When they return to the room where Reagan collapsed, her body has vanished.
One by one, more people “die” — three victims in total — yet none of their bodies are found. Emilia realizes she was the actual target, since she too is allergic to honey. Determined to solve the case, Jason and Emilia hunker down with their trusty whiteboard to crack the mystery.
In the end, the shocking twist is revealed: it was all part of the game. No one really died, and Mystery Mountain remains murder-free. Relieved, Jason and Emilia celebrate the victory with their long-awaited first kiss.

It's time for the qualifying race. Derice is the clear favorite. The top four finishers will represent Jamaica in the Olympics. Unfortunately, the runner next to him, Junior, stumbles and takes Derice down with him.
Derice tries to convince the Olympic committee leader to rerun the race, but it's a no-go. On his way out, he notices a picture of his late father standing next to another man. He asks who it is, and learns that it’s Irv Blitzer, a fellow gold medalist who once competed in bobsledding. Irv lives in Jamaica now, working as a bookie and living a miserable life.
It takes a while, but Derice finally wears him down, and Blitzer agrees to give him a shot. They gather a group of people together, but Blitzer scares them off by showing a reel of bobsled crashes. By the time it ends, the room is empty—except for one of the other runners who fell with Junior, a grumpy guy named Yul. The problem is, there’s no such thing as a three-man bobsled team.

Wesley and Jackie immediately start arguing, while Wesley keeps bringing up the fact that Charlie was flirting with the cab driver on the way over.

As the visit continues, Charlie and Wesley fight but eventually commit to really diving into their marriage and making it work. Jackie’s girlfriend proposes and they decide to get married, and the family comes together to spread their mom’s ashes.

Nora goes out to dinner with her pregnant friend Jacks, who insists they stop at her favorite ice cream spot, Darlington Dairy. Nora tries it, is blown away, and wonders why she’s never heard of it before. (Good question, Nora.)
Meanwhile, James’ boss tells him the VP role is between him and Lavery. Whoever brings in the hottest new client within the next two weeks gets the job.
The next day, Nora and James bump into each other. She drops her bag, and it’s full of ice cream. She lies, saying it’s for the office, when in reality, she’s eyeing Darlington Dairy as a client. Unfortunately for her, she leaves a carton behind, and James scoops it up. He brings it to his boss and claims the idea as his own.
Soon enough, both Nora and James are on planes to Wisconsin to meet the owners. By coincidence, they’re staying at the same inn, in neighboring rooms. Their paths officially collide when they both show up to take the owners to dinner. Classic double booking. Naturally, they all dine together.
