Hi.

Santa brought something
extra special

for you this Christmas.

Thank you, Dr. Zoey!

Newark General.
Day eight of eight.

Sure we can't get you
to stay on?

Thanks, but I'm kind of
used to moving around.

Can't hit
a moving target, right?

Something like that.

Merry Christmas.

You too, Doc.

Let me guess.

Pad Thai
and fire-roasted chicken?

No.



Open the takeout box.

Hanging up now!

Not before you tell me

you're taking the holidays
off this year.

Debra.

How long's it been since
we spent Christmas together?

Last year.

Uh! Doesn't count.
That was over Skype.

We did Thanksgiving
in October.

The 4th of July and Easter...
you were working.

Where was I on Groundhog Day?

Mom would want us
to be together on Christmas.

And speaking of Mom,

what would she say
if she saw those bare walls?

What would she say if she saw
that sweater you have on?

Wait till you see
the one I got one for you.

Then it's settled.

Christmas at my house.

Talk tomorrow?

Okay. Love you.

You too, Ty.

Why are you looking
at that doctors list?

I'm not leaving this place
without a doctor.

Knowing you,

you'll be back to work
in a day.

Gabby, did it ever occur to you

I might want to take
a few weeks off?

No.

Yeah, you're right.

At least pick someone
I can boss around.

Of course. That's
my number-one requirement.

Oh, come on.

We both know
you only got one move.

Make that two.

Check.

And... mate.

Aw, no!

Rematch tomorrow
after your patrol?

I'll be here.

Dr. Garner.

Willow Brook.

Where is that?

Well, that's not really
what I do.

Can you find me
something else?

Maybe something
in a bigger city?

Hey!

Hey.

What are you doing here?

I was in the neighborhood.

Come on in.

Upstate. Way upstate.

They only have one doctor
and he's having surgery.

One doctor?

How small is this town?

Maybe a little bigger
than your house.

But why does it have to be you?

I'm guessing
I'm the only one who'd say yes.

So we're not doing Christmas?

Yes, we are!

Right now.

And...

-You didn't.
-Wait...

There's more.

Bam!

Well, at least
we're celebrating in December

this year.

Here.

Ooh! Thank you.

Aw, Zoey.

Now I have to get you something!

♪ O, come, all ye faithful ♪

♪ Joyful and triumphant ♪

♪ O, come, ye ♪

♪ O, come, ye
To Bethlehem ♪

♪ Come and behold him ♪

♪ Born the King of Angels... ♪

Merry Christmas, Santa.

Hello?

Anyone here?

Ow!

Oh, I am so sorry.
Are you all right?

Yeah.

Uh, are you sure?
I could have a look at it.

Are you saying
I need to get my head examined?

Do you?

Probably.

I'm here to see
Dr. Raymond Johnson?

Oh, so you're
the Rent-A-Doc, huh?

Locum tenens.

Gesundheit.

Uh, Dr. Ray's on a house call.

House call?

Yeah. Shouldn't be long.

I'm Dr. Garner.

Zoey.

Luke Barnes.

Do you work here?

No. No. Just helping a friend.

Updating the computer
from the Dark Ages.

Is it always
this quiet around here?

Should pick up after lunch.

It's Meatloaf Monday
at the diner.

Welcome to Willow Brook.

Thank you.

All right.

Dr. Garner. I'm Gabby.

We spoke on the phone.

Oh, it's nice
to finally meet you.

Coffee? Christmas blend.

Sure. I'd love some.

Good news, bad news.

Your rental fell through,

but there's
a charming house I know of

that happens to be empty,

and the owner
can't say no to me.

No one can.

I really don't
need a whole house.

Don't worry,
you'll love this place.

That is so thoughtful.

It's important
to feel at home in a place.

You made it.

Dr. Johnson?

Nobody calls me that.

It's just "Ray" or "Dr. Ray."

Thanks for bailing us out
over the holidays.

Well, it doesn't look like
you need much bailing.

Well, you never know.
It is... Meatloaf Monday.

The wall of fame.

Those are all your patients?

Oh, I've delivered almost
all the kids in this town,

and a lot of their parents.

So when do you have surgery?

Ah, tomorrow.

Nothing serious,
just a rotator cuff.

I've been putting it off.

Must be painful.

Mm, it's not as painful
as leaving my clinic.

I'm not used
to taking time off,

but my wife put her foot down.

Oh, yeah.

Now, this
is our "operating theater".

X-ray machine,
defibs, ultrasound...

EKG.

We do limited surgeries.

The closest big hospital's
Buffalo, 60 miles east.

MRI?

Buffalo.

Know it well.

Mm. You like to move around.

Well, I've been with Locum
for six years,

and before that,
I was with the military.

I saw that.
15 years.

What brought you back?

It was time.

Now I just go
where I'm needed.

Well, you're gonna find things
a lot different here.

There's not that much
going on,

but you're always on the clock.

You go to the grocery store,

somebody's gonna want to talk
to you about a rash.

Rash on aisle three.
Got it.

There you have it.

And over here, we have

good, old-fashioned bribery
for the under-12s.

Switched to sugar-free
after a few complaints

from the local dentist.

Dr. Ray will know.

I'll be right there, Francis!

This isn't a war zone,

but you will take
some friendly fire.

Francis? This is Dr. Garner.

She'll be filling in
for a couple of weeks.

Be a good time for you
to get to know each other,

seeing as you're in here
quite a bit.

What happened to your hand?

Snowball.

Snowball?

Her cat.

Oh. Well, why don't you let me
take a look at it?

Francis, let her
see your hand.

Well, that doesn't
look too bad.

A little Neosporin,
some aspirin as needed,

it'll be just fine.

Dr. Ray, would you mind
taking a look?

I concur with Dr. Garner.

And maybe
buy a different cat food.

Oh.

Thank you, Dr. Ray.

She'll get used to you.

Hello?

Hello?

Is anybody home?

Hello?

Ah!

Oh, I'm so sorry.

Again?

Don't you take an oath
to "do no harm"?

This is your house?

It's my mom's.

She passed a few years ago.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Thanks.

Maybe I should
take a look at that.

Oh...
No, I'm fine.

You ever had a concussion?

No. But at this rate...

Dizziness?

I'm okay.

What year is it?

1985.

What?

Look around you.

It really is 1985.

Yeah, Mom wasn't big on change.

I'm planning to fix it up
after the holidays.

Just let me just tighten this.

You have a channel-lock?

Huh? Oh, I have no idea.

Here you go.

Oh...

thanks.

I'm really more of a techie.

Oh.

All right...

How about that?

Nice.

That worked.

Sure. That'll be $500.

Check's in the mail.

Let me show you to your room.

Wait. Is that a VCR?

Yep. We also got
a transistor radio

and a princess phone.

Quite the list of amenities.

You know
how to fix a heater?

Maybe.

Good, 'cause that's
the one thing I can't fix.

It's okay.
I don't get cold.

Here you are.

Ah.

Why do I get the feeling

that you weren't planning
on renting this place?

Oh, I was eventually.

There's some fresh towels
for you.

Let me show you
the rest of the place.

I don't know
what Gabby said to you,

but I saw an inn
on the way here.

Booked for the holidays.

There's got to be
someplace else.

Nope. Already checked.
Look.

It's no big deal, really.

I'm just preoccupied...
it's my daughter,

she's coming home
from college tomorrow, so.

Well, thank you,
and don't worry.

You won't hear from me
or see me again.

My number's
by the princess phone

for emergencies.

Well, when that phone
doesn't ring,

you'll know it's me.

Okay, well, then I guess
I won't be seeing you.

I guess not.

All right.

I got it.

Willow Brook.

Day one of 14.

He's divorced.

-Who?
-Luke.

In case you were wondering.

I was wondering
where the tongue depressors are.

And please don't say
"in Buffalo."

His wife left
when his daughter was 14.

Since then, all he's done

is work and devote himself
to being a single dad.

Now that Lilly's in college,
he'll need another excuse...

like fixing up that house.

Syringes?

You're single, right?

It was in your records.

That was in my records?

I may have dug
a little deeper...

and yes, I'm prying,
it's what I do.

You'll get used to it.

-What's wrong, honey?
-Sorry to drop in,

I just need a minute
with Dr. Ray.

Well, I'm sure
we can squeeze you in.

I'm Dr. Garner,
I'm filling in.

I'll just come back.

Oh, oh. Whoa.

How about I just have
a quick look?

'Kay?

You've been through a lot.

Bloodwork, scans.
Lots of tests, no answers?

I don't usually
come in anymore,

but I woke up dizzy.

And this has happened before?

Yes,

but it usually goes away.

Everyone just says
"Chronic Fatigue Syndrome"

because they don't know
what it is.

Everyone?

The Internet.

Ahh! Well...

my first recommendation is,

never take medical advice
from Google.

I've gone from a mild headache
to "clinically dead"

in three clicks.

All right...

Let's see.
I'll take a look at you.

When did your symptoms
first start?

About a year ago.

They come and go.

I get achy, tired.

Headaches.
I forget things.

Stupid things I should know.

It's brain fog. Okay.

Anything change a year ago?

No.

No change to your diet?
New home? Pets? A new carpet?

No, everything's the same.

All right.

What about work?

I work from home.

Honestly, I've gone through all
these questions with Dr. Ray.

Okay, well, I'm gonna prescribe
something to you

for your dizziness,
but for right now,

I need you
to lay on your side.

Okay?

Yeah, just like that.
Bring your knees up.

Okay? This is gonna help
with the vertigo.

I want you to rest here
for a few minutes,

and I'll be right back
to check on you, okay?

Okay.

Okay, great news. Thank you.

Dr. Ray's out of surgery.
It went well.

That's great.

He'll be home tomorrow.

The challenge will be
keeping him there.

He's a horrible patient.

In other words,
a typical doctor.

Oh, yeah!

As long as he's 100%
by the Township Hero Awards.

What is
the "Township Hero Awards"?

Every Christmas season,

the county honors someone
for their dedication.

This year, it's Dr. Ray.

And mum's the word...
it's a surprise.

Be right with you, Terry!

He comes in
for someone to talk to.

Depressed?

Lonely.

At 11:00,

you have a strep test
and a hockey injury.

'Kay.

Figured I'd find you working.

Sweetie!

You're early.

No traffic.

You didn't speed, did you?

Didn't speed,
got a good night's sleep,

and I'm wearing a sweater.

Oh! I got a surprise for you.

♪ Tis the season... ♪

♪ ...To be jolly ♪

♪ Fa-la-la-la-la... ♪

♪ ...La, la, la, la ♪

It's better than
last year's tree lighting.

Yeah. I forgot a few "la-las."
It happens.

The whole song has,
like, 10 words.

Told you
not to bring me on stage.

Ah, good news.

I'm hiring an intern
this summer,

so you'll have someone
working under you.

Yeah.

I thought you'd be happy
to have someone else

do coffee runs.

Summer's a long way off.

It's not that long.

-You hungry?
-Starved.

All right. Tamale Tuesdays!

And there's a meteor shower
tonight,

so it's telescope and popcorn
on the back porch.

Actually, I kinda
have plans later.

Ashley's having a party.

Well, that sounds more fun.

-Yeah, we'll catch the next one.
-You sure?

You seen one meteor,
you seen 'em all, right?

Yeah.

Lilly!

How's college, honey?

Great, Katie.

Did you get your giant tree yet?

Ask your father.
He helped me carry it in.

And move out
her living-room furniture

to make room for it.

Well, we've all missed you.

So...

flour tortillas for Luke,
corn for Lilly,

spicy for him,
mild for you,

extra guac and...

two apple ciders...
one hot, one cold.

So, coding class,
tell me about it.

Yeah. It... It's great.

The candle store's been there
a hundred years,

and I've been shopping there
almost as long.

Merry Christmas, Doc!

Welcome to Willow Brook.

Merry Christmas.

Chocolate shop, to die for.

Bakery...

if you like yule logs,
and who doesn't?...

a must.

And... here's our diner.

Look who's here.

Well, my shopping list awaits.

See you tomorrow.

Who's that?

Dr. Ray's fill-in.

She's staying at the old house
through Christmas.

You trying to punish her?

Uh, quite the opposite,
actually.

Seen here twice,
been injured twice,

and she's only been here a day.

When I said
you'd never see me again,

I didn't realize...

I'm everywhere.

Uh, Lilly,
this is Dr. Garner.

Zoey. Wow.

You've really grown up.

You know me?

The elf photos
on your grandmother's wall.

Oh, no! Not the elf photo.
Those are still up?

'Fraid so.

Table for three, Dr. Garner?

Uh, no,
I'm just here for takeout.

No, you should join us.
Right, Dad?

Yeah. Yeah, sure.
Of course.

Thank you, but I should really
be getting back to the house.

I got stuff.

Plus, that VCR's not
gonna watch itself, right?

Right.

I'll put those elf photos
in the drawer for you.

Thanks.

I like her.

She's just here
for a few weeks.

Mm-hmm. In the old house.

You never let anyone stay there.

Believe me,
it wasn't my idea.

Let me guess. Gabby?

That'd be a yes.

Whose house is it?

Luke Barnes,
mid-40s, software designer,

doesn't know
what a channel-lock is,

and possibly accident-prone.

Is he a patient
or your landlord?

Neither. He got talked into
letting me stay here.

What does he look like?

Uh, you know.

No, I don't.

He looks okay.

All right, he's more than okay.

All right,
he's really good-looking,

but that is the last thing
I'm thinking about.

What's the first thing?

Tamale Tuesday.

Love you, sis.

Good morning.

Good morning!

Oh... you didn't
have to bring anything.

I invited you.

It's not for you.

It's for your wife,
for putting up with you.

I hear
you are a terrible patient.

Well, that's no rumor.

And she'll love it.
Thank you.

Shouldn't you be inside?

I'm bird-watching.

Oh... Northern Cardinal.

Hold still.

Yes, Captain.

Actually, that's "Major."

Did you know it's good luck
when you see a cardinal?

No.

The story has it
that the cardinal

is someone who loved you,
from your past,

who's looking in on you.

Maybe that explains
why I've never seen one before.

And it's gone.

For now.

Thanks.

So...

no problems at the clinic,

except for Francis...
something about her elbow.

Says, "Dr. Ray would know"

and won't let me see it.

Knitting elbow.

Uh, one sprained ankle,
two earaches,

two stitches,

and a partridge in a pear tree.

This is lighter fare
than you're used to seeing.

Yeah, but there is someone
I wanted to ask you about.

Her symptoms
are all over the map.

Oh, Emma Hayes.

We've tested her
for everything.

She used to be so outgoing.

This has really taken a toll.

I'd appreciate it
if you'd look in on her.

Look in?

Yeah, house call.

People really still do that?

That's what you're doing
right now.

No, this is a social call.

Tomatoes, tomahtoes.

Yeah, I'm not really
that kind of doctor.

I really only
see a patient once.

In med school,

they warned us not to get
too attached to your patients.

It's fine in the E.R.

Someone rolls in,

you stitch them up,
on to the next one.

But here,
you get to know your patients...

their history,

their family...
it's all about relationships.

Yeah, well, I'm not
really good at that.

Well, you might see
something I missed.

In fact, I'll go with you.

You're not going anywhere.

Can I get a second opinion?

Yes. Cut down on the salt.

Yes, dear.

Oh, one more "yes, dear"

and you'll have pain
in your other shoulder.

Serene, meet Dr. Garner.

Zoey, please.

Nice to meet you.

You too. Uh...

for your mantle...

...which I figure could use
a little Christmas.

Ohh... thank you.

Good morning, Santa.

Good morning, Doc.

Hey, thanks!

Hi!

-Hi, Dr. Zoey.
-Wait a second!

You go to Vanderton?

So did I!

-Really?
-Yeah!

Go, go, Vanderton!

Won't stop
till the work is done!

Won't stop
till we're number one!

Go-o-o-o-o, Vanderton!

That's funny.

So the tamales were good.

Today's Waffle Wednesday.

I recommend the pumpkin
with extra whipped cream.

Done!
Just a flu shot today, huh?

I was supposed
to get it on campus,

but I kinda forgot.

Easy fix.

Can you roll up
your sleeve for me?

How big is the needle?

Tiny!

That's what
Dr. Ray always says.

That's what all doctors say.

So what are you studying?

Computer engineering.

Just like your dad?

Yeah.

Can I ask you a question?

Sure.

Did you always know
you were going to be a doctor?

No. I had all kinds of ideas.

Teacher, firefighter, lawyer.

At one point, I even thought
I wanted to be an astronaut.

So when did you figure it out?

My junior year.

You know that frozen pond
behind the lacrosse field,

where everyone skates?

Yeah.

Well, my roommate
caught an edge

and hit her head on the ice,

and I stopped the bleeding,

held onto her
until the paramedics came.

And that's when I knew.

All right.

All done.

What?

I barely felt that.

Would you like a candy cane?

I'm kinda old for that.

Okay, if you say so.

Okay, maybe I'll take one.

Mm! Or two.

Thanks, Dr. Zoey.

You're welcome.
Come back anytime,

if you want to talk.

-Bye.
-Bye.

His patrol was hit by an RPG.

He's had four surgeries.

The bleeding has stopped,

but now we're fighting
an infection,

so we have to get him stable
before transporting him.

Keep an eye on him for me.

Hey.

Mm. Maybe I'll let you win
this time.

Oh, you're gonna
let me win, huh?

I'm starting to feel bad
for you.

Well, you should!
I'm 0 for 30.

But who's counting?

All right.

This is my first Christmas
away from home.

It's funny,

the things you think about
during the holidays.

My sister's
crazy Christmas sweaters.

My mom's candied yams,

with those little marshmallows.

I love
those little marshmallows!

Maybe next Christmas, huh?

Definitely.

Uh, can we finish this later?

Kinda tired.

To be continued.

There we go.

Thank you.

You play chess?

Oh... uh, no, not really.

Not anymore.

Dr. Ray used to have that
in the waiting room,

but the patients
got too involved in the game

and we couldn't get them
into the exam rooms.

Did you get
Emma's bloodwork back?

Just now.

I hope I'm not disturbing you.

I just wanted
to see how you were doing.

That's so nice of you.

You're my first house call.

Today?

Ever.

Well, come in.

Somebody's getting
a nice meal.

The O'Briens' holiday party.
I'm a caterer.

And suddenly,
I wish I knew the O'Briens.

I'll save you a plate.

A homecooked meal.
It is Christmas.

You don't cook?

I microwave.

I practically grew up
in a restaurant.

Started catering
a few years ago.

Looks like
it's going pretty well.

It was.

I'm sorry, I just...

I don't even know
if I'll have the energy

to see my family
for the holidays.

It's okay.
We're gonna figure this out.

You know, I think the circuit
breaker's in the kitchen.

-I checked.
-Or the garage.

-Checked.
-Basement?

You don't know where it is,
do you?

No. In my defense, I haven't
lived here since 12th grade.

Ohh. Is this your old room?

Long time ago.

"In a galaxy far, far away."

Ohh!

I had these on my ceiling, too.

Oh, I forgot those were there.

One night, I sat on my balcony
for four hours,

just to see one shooting star.

Yeah? Was it worth it?

Yep.

My record was six hours.

On a rooftop.

Unfortunately, I fell asleep
and missed it.

Oh, no circuit breaker...

but my old light saber.

Sorry.

It's gotta be outside.

You live in the city?

Upper East Side.

Not that I'm there much.

I used to live that life.

Did eight years at
a big tech company in Midtown.

What brought you back here?

I got married.

Seemed like a better place
to raise a family.

Didn't exactly work out
according to plan.

Gabby might have
mentioned something.

Of course she did.

She also said
you are an amazing dad.

My daughter thinks
I'm a snowplow.

One of those annoying parents

who wants to remove
all obstacles in their way.

Are you?

Yep.

See, the thing is,
I'm a child of divorce.

Never wanted that for her.

Yeah.

Well, 100% of divorces
start in marriage.

You too?

Yeah, I met mine in med school.

He went into private practice.

I went to Afghanistan.

Mm. You must have seen a lot.

Probably too much.

Now, where would someone
hide a circuit breaker?

You know, sometimes, you don't
know the value of a moment

until it becomes a memory.

-Who said that?
-A doctor.

Dr. Seuss.

Oh! Wait a minute.

What do we have here?

Ah-hah!

I knew it was here all along.

Really?

It's been 20 years.

Try 30.

How old do you think I am?

46.

Gabby mention that, too?

No, I can tell
how old a person is

by their wallpaper.

Ah! Okay.

All right, let's see...
one of these.

Hey!

-Nice.
-All right.

Let there be light.

Oh...

The only house
not decorated for Christmas.

Like Darth Vader's.

Thanks for coming.

Sure.

And I won't be
calling you again.

Please don't.

Hey. Are you a cardinal?

Winter Finch.

Cardinals have more red.

Hey, ladies.

Ashley, this is...

Dr. Zoey!

I've been hearing
a lot about you.

You gave my brother stitches
the other day.

Hockey injury?

Yeah, now he's using these
as an excuse

to not shovel the driveway,
so I have to do it.

Well, hey,
I could give you stitches too.

Thank you.

Anyway, I gotta go,

but it was really good
to meet you.

Nice to meet you, too, Ashley.

I'll see you later!

Bye!

Nice snowman.

Snow-woman.

Even better.

So how's your break going?

It's nice to be back.

Mostly.

Oh, I remember those days.

You're out on your own,

and next thing you know,

you're right back
under the microscope.

Yeah.

It'll get better.

I know.
It's just... my dad.

I mean, he's great.

He's too great,

which is why
I don't want to disappoint him.

Oh, I'm sure whatever it is,
you won't.

Everyone always says
I'm just like him, you know?

We've had all these plans,
ever since I was a kid...

I'd join his business,
we'd be a team.

But there's a whole world
out there.

I'm not sure
that's what I want anymore.

Have you told him?

I just don't know how.

It's always been the two of us.
It's our thing.

You'll find
another thing together.

Lots of things.

You think so?

I know so.

Look, my parents got past
me not becoming an astronaut.

You won't tell him
that I said anything, right?

Doctor/patient/snow-woman
confidentiality.

Cool.

I like her scarf.

She's looking pretty good.

And this is Dr. Garner.

Let's go with "Dr. Zoey."

So, I hear you ate
too many Christmas cookies.

Mm. But they're good, huh?

You know what?
I do that all the time.

You don't mind chopping?

Cutting's actually
the one thing I'm good at.

How come you never
learned to cook?

Well, I went from dorm food
to hospital food to Army food,

and now I'm the takeout queen.

I could teach you.

How much time do you have?

This... is a spatula.

This... is a stovetop.

My sister's a great cook.

We used to have
these big holiday celebrations.

Just someone
I've been avoiding.

He's cute.

Yeah, he's really sweet, too.

And that's a problem?

I just don't want
to see anyone right now.

Can I give you some advice?

Say yes.

What is the worst
that could happen?

You forget his name?
Fall asleep in his car?

Who hasn't done that
at least once?

What would you do?

You know that expression,
"Do as I say, not as I do"?

So I should say yes,
but you don't?

Yes.

It's been a while

since I've just
hung out with anyone,

and I know you're only here

because Dr. Ray
put you up to it.

The first one was for Dr. Ray,

but this one's for me.

And the next one,

because I'm gonna teach you
to cook a Christmas dinner.

I would settle
for a Christmas dish.

Oh, which one?

The easiest one!

Wow!

Oh, hey!

I'm just about finished.

Oh, it's beautiful.
Thank you.

Yeah, well...

I couldn't have you in the only
undecorated house in town.

Hey, do you like

pasta primavera
with a reduced red wine sauce

and caramelized
vegan meatballs?

Do I?

That'd be a yes.

Well, good,
because I have a lot.

Oh!

For you and Lilly.

Thank you.

Lilly's out
with friends tonight,

but, uh, I'll enjoy it.

Great.

So, I guess
I won't be seeing you again.

You definitely will not.

Uh...

um...

but, if you want...

we could eat this alone...

together.

Your house or mine?

They're both your houses.

Right.

Come on.

It's been a while
since I've been at this table.

This house
is really growing on me.

Yeah, '85 was a good year.

It's so cool that your mom
kept everything.

I'm never in one place
long enough to have any stuff.

"Stuff"?

Yeah, you know,

vases, things on shelves.

Mm.

I don't know what
I'm gonna do with all of it.

Maybe I'll open a museum.

"The place
where time stood still."

Gabby said you do the websites
for the entire town.

Mm-mm. Nope.

There are three people that went
outside of Willow Brook.

We don't speak.

Actually, I'm just finishing
a virtual digital

lighting program for
a start-up on Wall Street.

Okay, I have no idea
what that is,

but it sounds amazing.

Oh, it will be.

And yes, I'm a nerd.

Yeah, me too.

Little bit.

Although,
I never had a light saber.

What? Oh, you gotta learn
the ways of the Force.

But you did have
a chemistry set, though, right?

Two. And an ant farm.

Okay.

You ever miss
living in the city?

You know, I thought I would.

Turns out, I like to be
a part of something.

People know you here.

Sometimes,
they know a bit too much.

So what's next for you?

Well, I'll go back home
for a couple days,

then off to my next assignment.

You must get tired
of moving around.

How do you handle it?

"Willow Brook.
Day four of 14."

Just something I tell myself.

Started in the Army.

Just a way for me to...

keep track of how much time
I have left.

Mm.

Guess I'm used
to having an exit strategy.

You okay?

Yeah, I'm sorry.

It hits a little harder
on the holidays.

You know, every doctor

has that one patient

that they'll always remember.

Mine was a soldier.

Just a kid, really.

I couldn't save him.

And I couldn't forgive myself.

So I left the Army and...

...just kept moving
from place to place.

Running, I guess.

I'm sorry.

I am so sorry.

I don't even know why
I just told you all that.

No. It's okay.

I'm glad you did.

Come with me.

Come on.

You know,
there's something about a tree

that just makes me
feel better.

The way they stand,
they're so...

...majestic?

Exactly.

White Spruce, Fraser Fir, Noble,

Douglas Fir...
one of the more popular.

You sure know a lot about this.

He does our website.

And you can also ask me about
wreaths, tinsel, and garland.

Johnny, this is...

Dr. Zoey.

-Nice to meet you finally.
-Oh, thank you. You too.

You know, I've meant
to come see Dr. Ray.

My knee's been acting up.

Come see me.

Come by tomorrow.

Do you know anything
about knees?

You got two of 'em, right?

I will see you tomorrow.

-Okay.
-Later, Johnny.

You know, they say
picking out the right tree

is a science.

I remember
being very unscientific

when I last picked out a tree.

Scotch pine keeps its needles
the longest.

Balsam, if you like
the symmetrical shape.

And Fraser fir
is good for heavy ornaments.

♪ 'Tis the season
to be jolly ♪

♪ Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la ♪

♪ Don we now our gay apparel ♪

Oh, I'm so sorry.

I got to go.

Where?

Deliver a baby.

Bah.

Excuses, excuses.

Hey.

Which tree do you want?

The one that smells the best!

Balsam or fir.

Day five of 14.

Nine pounds, three ounces!

Congrats.

I'm not the one
who deserves congratulations.

Oh, you bring them
into this world,

they're always a part of you.

Well, you must have
a big family.

That I do.

Wow. It's been a while
since I've delivered a baby.

Ah, there's nothing like it.

And then you get
to watch that baby grow up,

and then come in with her mom,

and then her car,

and then, maybe someday,
with her own baby.

Just how long do you think
I'm gonna be here?

Well, you never know
how things turn out.

In my case, we do.

Hmm.

Do you want to go over these?

Uh, I'll look at that later.

I'm sorry for keeping you
working over the holidays.

I always work
through the holidays.

Seems a little sad.

No, I mean, I'm around people.

I just don't know them.

Last year,
it was Rockford General.

Year before that,
New Haven.

You don't mind me saying,

I think you could use
a family this Christmas.

Lattes for me and Zoey.

Decaf for Ray.

Pretty soon,
you'll have me drinking

hot water and lemon.

You know,
that's not a bad idea.

How about just hot water?

Better yet,
how about warm water?

Oh, tree lighting tonight.

It's not Rockefeller Center,

but we do all right.

Well, sure, if I have time.

It's a thing
to make time for.

All right.
Well, I'd better get back.

All right.

I'll see you
a little bit later, okay?

-Bye, Zoey.
-Bye-bye.

I don't know how you found her,
but I'm glad you did.

There's something special
about her.

Ray?

What is it?

I should have told you before.

I just didn't know
if I should say anything.

Dr. Garner.

I'm finished here on Christmas.

The 27th?

Yeah, sure.
I can do that.

Oh.

♪ This is for you! ♪

Thank you.

It's not from me.

Oh.

Mrs. Green asked me
to bring it by,

a thank-you for
delivering her granddaughter.

That's so sweet.

While I'm here,

I was wondering if you could
look at my elbow.

Of course.

Thank you.

You made the Wall of Fame.

The Harris girl's
due next week.

You might have another one.

You're going to need
a bigger wall.

Big day, too.

I got some fruitcake.

Save me a piece.
I need a new paperweight.

That bad, huh?

So, when are you going
to ask her out?

-What?
-Text her.

Ooh, or, better yet,
go to the clinic,

get a flu shot,
and do it in person.

I'm not getting stuck
with a needle to get a date.

Dad, I know you like her.

Ashley said she saw you

putting up
Christmas lights on her house.

Her house?

And Johnny told Taylor

that you brought her
to the tree lot.

Because she needed a tree.

Yeah.

I'm just saying,

I think it will be good for you
to get back out there.

I'm out there.

Besides, she leaves
in eight days. Or seven.

No, eight.

Yeah, exactly my point.

You're counting the days.

The only days I'm counting

are the days till
the Township Hero Awards.

Let me show you
what we have so far.

You'll get this next semester
in your graphics class.

Yeah, uh, about that...

What, you didn't
get into the class?

No.

That's okay, you can take it
sophomore year.

What's wrong?

Okay, I'm...
just going to tell you.

Rip off the bandaid, right?

What is it?

I'm not working here
in the summer.

Don't tell me you got that
internship at RGZ Tech?

No, actually...

I've dropped
computer engineering.

When?

Two months ago.

I left the program.

For what?

Undeclared.

But this is
what you always wanted.

No, you wanted it.

And maybe I did, too,
when I was younger,

but I don't anymore.

Why am I just
hearing about this now?

Because...

I didn't want
to hurt your feelings.

You put everything
on hold for me,

and you had all these plans...

but those were your plans,
not mine.

I don't know what to say.

Just... say you support me.

It's just that
you're so good at this.

What are you going to do?

I don't know, but...

I'll figure it out.

Lilly...

Dad, I love you,

and you know that,

but I need
to live my own life...

and you do, too.

I've only got about an hour.

In an hour,
you'll be a one-star chef.

Green-bean casserole
with fried onion rings.

Oh... well,
I can open the cans.

Let me get these
out of the oven.

My go-to Christmas yams.

The Boys & Girls Club
is having their holiday party.

Merry Christmas, Private.

Candied yams
with little marshmallows.

Seriously?

The good news
is I didn't make it.

The bad news is it came
from the mess hall.

It's not quite
Christmas at home, but...

Mm.

It's close enough.

Thank you, Doc.

You can thank me
when you get out of here.

Hey...

Dr. Zoey?

Oh, I'm sorry.

I was just
remembering something.

Food will do that.

Every time
I see Christmas pudding,

I'm six years old again.

How long have you
had the tremor?

Not long.

Just...
comes and goes sometimes.

Carpal Santa Syndrome.

Try to ring the bell
with your arm,

and not your wrist.

Feels better already.

Good.

Here you go.

Thanks, Doc.

See you at the Tree Ceremony?

We'll be there.

Like she said.

Hey, there's a wreath
on my car.

Johnny from the tree lot.

His way of saying thanks
for fixing up his knee.

Aw, that is so sweet.

Did I treat anybody
who owns a car lot?

♪ Joy to the world... ♪

I could really use a new car.

♪ ...Let earth receive
her king ♪

♪ Let every heart... ♪

The man just won't listen.

Easy on that shoulder
there, Ray!

You're off the clock.

I thought I was never
off the clock.

Everyone's
off the clock tonight.

I'm so glad you're here, Zoey.

-Me too.
-Yeah.

Dr. Ray. How are you?

Francis.

A Willow Brook tradition.

Everyone makes or buys
something small for the tree,

and they're distributed
to needy kids on Christmas.

I didn't bring anything.

You have time.

-Hey.
-Hey.

Ear buds and a Firestick?

How do you know everything?

See you two later.

Looks like I've been abandoned.

Yeah, you and me both.

Apparently, Lilly thinks
I need to get a life.

Oh, then, she must be talking
to my sister,

because that's what I hear
pretty much every day.

You like gingerbread?

-I once ate a whole house.
-Oh, yeah?

I ate a hotel.

More like an inn.

The Willow Brook Creek Inn.

It's small.

Hi, I'll take
a snowman, please.

And I'll have two elves
and a reindeer, please.

I missed lunch.

Fish-stick Friday.
It was a good one.

Ed, what's wrong
with your arm?

Nothing anymore.

Merry Christmas, Willow Brook.

Merry Christmas!

Every light on this tree

is a shining remembrance

of so many who don't have light
in their lives.

This is for them,

and all of us.

And as we say every year
at this time,

let there be light!

Let there be light!

I've got something for you, too.

Oh, Ray...

You didn't have
to give me these.

It's an early
Christmas present.

Give 'em a try.

Thank you.

Life throws a lot at us,

sometimes things we think
we can't overcome,

but then a bird shows up,
and another,

and a nest gets built,

and we begin to realize
that life goes on,

and it can be beautiful again.

Like that.

Wow.

I think I'm going
to be using these a lot.

Good.

I wanted to talk to you
about Emma.

I heard you became a fan
of the house call.

Yeah. She's teaching me
how to cook.

I noticed that she had a tremor.

Well, that's new.

And I was thinking
about a patient I had

who had a shrapnel wound.

We removed all the fragments,

but he was still
showing symptoms

of dizziness, fatigue, tremors.

We tested for lead poisoning.

Yes, but...

we're missing something.

Pancakes?

Hey!

Peace offering.

I've been thinking
about what you said,

and I'm going to get
back in the program.

It makes the most sense.

And I'll be working
in the office next summer.

No, you won't.

Sweetheart, you're not
a kid anymore,

and I never meant
to treat you like one.

I just wanted to make your life
easy, that's all.

When my parents split up,
my childhood ended,

and everything felt
like it fell apart.

When your mom and I split up,

I... I felt like I failed you.

You... you didn't fail me.

I think you're amazing.

I just want you to find
what makes you happy...

and you will.

And I'll be right here
cheering you on.

I love you, Dad.

I love you, too, honey.

You know, you and Mom
may not have worked out,

but that doesn't mean

there isn't someone else
out there.

Yeah, I know.

So you're not too old

to help your old man decorate
these pancakes, are you?

Never.

All right, show me your skills.

-There you go.
-Thank you.

Here we go. Ready?

Yeah. Go.

Ho ho... ho!

Hey, Gabby. Is the doc in?

What's wrong?

Nothing.

So... this is a personal visit?

Maybe I'll just come back.

Examining Room 1.

Thanks, Gabby.

Hey.

Hey!

Wow. You look...

professional.

I'm not real good at this.

I'm a doctor.
You can tell me anything.

Okay.

I have a problem.

A tenant problem.

A locum tenant problem.

Sounds serious.

It could be.

Well, maybe you need
a psychiatrist.

I think so.

Do you want to have dinner?

Are you asking me
on a date?

I just thought maybe we could
eat alone together.

Well, I hear Soufflé Sunday's
a hot ticket at the diner.

Okay.

Am I paranoid,
or is everyone watching us?

Yeah, everyone's watching us.

Should we tell them
this is not a date?

Nah, it'll just give 'em
something to talk about.

Okay, let me guess.

Two soufflé specials.

Cold cider for Luke,
hot for Zoey.

You are a mind reader, Katie.

Thanks.

How do I tell her
I don't like cider?

It won't matter.

She brings it to me, too.

Haven't drank it in, like,
five years.

That was nice.

It was.

Well...

That tree needs something.

Do you mind if I get something
from the garage?

My house is your house.

Literally.

Hey, you like fruitcake?

It's not Mrs. Green's
fruitcake, is it?

You've had it before?

In 2012.

It's still stuck
in the back of my throat.

Cookies it is.

All right.

We've got cookies
from Miss Lizzie at the bakery,

and cocoa from Sara
at the chocolate shop.

Perfect...

...'cause this
might take a while.

I've got a while.

Did you know there's supposed
to be a meteor shower

on New Year's Eve?

Yeah, I'll watch it
from my balcony.

Me too.

Stainless steel...

Mm? What?

I think I've just figured out
what's wrong with Emma Hayes.

Well, that's what a guy
wants to hear on a date.

Oh, so this is
supposed to be a date, huh?

You don't want it to be a date?

It wouldn't be
the worst thing.

Oh, now, there's
a ringing endorsement.

No, I'm sorry, I do.

I mean, I do about the date,

um, not "I do," I do.

I do, too.

Stainless steel, huh?

I'm so sorry.

I know this is
really bad timing,

but I've been trying
to figure this out for a while,

and I really think that...

It's all right.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Yeah, you will.

Ray? It's Zoey.

So those pots and pans you use?

They're infused with nickel.

Sometimes, they add it
to stainless steel.

It gives it that shiny look.

If someone's allergic,
they most often will get a rash,

but in rare occasions,

it can present
in all kinds of ways.

It's called Systematic
Nickel Allergy Syndrome.

And that's what I have?

Dr. Ray just confirmed it
with your new bloodwork.

I don't believe it.
I'm really going to be okay?

Get rid of everything
in your house with nickel,

it should go away on its own.

I don't know what to say.

This is the best
Christmas present ever.

I'm so glad.

I'm going to call my family

and tell them I'm coming home
for Christmas!

You're like
a Christmas miracle.

Oh, I think you're giving me
way too much credit.

Dr. Ray was right
to have picked you.

Wait, what do you mean,
he picked me?

It's just the locum people

said your background
was ERs and trauma centers,

but he insisted.

Why?

It's just the way he is.

He gets a feeling about people.

Can you cover for me
for a minute?

Sure.

I just want to place this
under the tree.

Let me guess.

A chemistry set.

My cousin works
in the toy shop.

Gabby, girl, you are a trip.

Dr. Zoey would know.

She is such a good doctor.

Merry Christmas!

As you all know, every year,

Erie County presents
the Township Hero Award

to someone
whose dedication

has helped make our world
a little better.

I'm honored to present
this year's award

to someone who's been there
for me my whole life,

from distracting me with candy
while he gave me a shot...

...to delivering
my amazing daughter.

I'm sure he's showed up
in the middle of the night

for everyone here at least once.

I couldn't be happier
to present this year's award

to my friend,
Dr. Raymond Johnson.

Dr. Ray!

You knew about this?

Of course.
You're the only one who didn't.

Thank you, Luke.

Thank you.

I didn't know this town
could keep a secret.

Thank you, all.

I'm touched beyond words.

It's been my privilege

to be able
to take care of all of you.

You put your trust in me,
and I'm so grateful.

Well, you've put your trust
over the last few weeks

in someone else as well,

Dr. Zoey Garner.

Zoey, would you come up?

Please?

Thank you for being here,
Dr. Zoey.

I wouldn't want
to be anyplace else.

Aw.

I guess what
I'm trying to say is

that this award
isn't just for me.

It's for all
the doctors and nurses,

the caregivers and
frontline workers everywhere.

Yeah!

Hey!

It's Christmas Eve!

What are you guys doing?

I am making
my soon-to-be-world-famous

Green-Bean Casserole
for eight.

That's right, you heard me.

I'm sorry
we're not together, sis.

Next year for sure, okay?

Oh! Can I call you back?

Okay.

Oh, my goodness!

What are you doing here?

Spending Christmas with you.

And that's what we're doing
from now on,

wherever you are.

-Aw...
-I came for the yams.

Oh, and the green-bean
casserole.

Get in here.

I haven't seen you looking
like this in a long time.

What do you mean?

You're glowing.

That's just the reflection
from that Christmas sweater.

She's right, Zoey.
You look happy.

Well... I am.

Come on.

I got a green-bean casserole
in the oven.

Oh, come on in!

I thought you were going
to be with your family!

On my way.

I just wanted to drop this off.

A little something I made
with my new cookware.

Turkey breast?

Brined turkey breast
with roasted Brussels sprouts

and orange sauce.

Ooh.

Merry Christmas, Emma.

Merry Christmas, Zoey.

-Bye.
-Bye.

We are going to be eating
for a week.

Hey, Gabby.

You can start the party now.
I'm here!

Gabby, this is...

Debra and Ty.

I feel like
I know you two already.

Ty, how's the new
saltwater aquarium?

And how does she know that?

Gabby knows everything.

I just... I don't know.

Oh, hey,

it's the most important person
in Willow Brook,

and her husband!

And my candied yams.

Ooh, yum. Thank you.

Come on in.

Thank you.

Hey.

Hi.

Uh, Luke, this is
my sister, Debra.

It's great to meet you.

She's right.

You are good-looking.

I've been hearing about you

since the first near concussion

right up to Day 13.

-Really?
-Mm-hmm.

She's exaggerating.

The lights, the tree,

the diner, the mistletoe,

and the light saber.

You told her
about the light saber?

Maybe in passing.

Merry Christmas, all.

-Hey.
-Hi. Hello.

You must be Lilly.

I'm Zoey's sister.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you, too.

And I also went to Vanderton.

Go, go, Vanderton!

Won't stop
till our work is done!

Won't stop
till we're number one!

Go, Vanderton!

Wow, this is
the nicest Christmas dinner

this place has seen since...

1985.

-What are you doing later?
-Dishes?

Okay, I'll wash, you dry.

And then maybe we can talk.

Sure.

Come on in.

Nope. Not one.

Oh. Oh, phew.

Zoey, Serene and I have
been talking for a while now,

and over these past few weeks,

I've come around
to her way of thinking.

I'm going to work less,
live more.

Do some traveling

and some other things
that we've been putting off.

Well, I think
that's a great idea.

Yeah, I do, too.

What I'm trying to say is

that I've decided to take on
a partner at the clinic,

and I can't imagine anyone else
fitting in better than you.

Me?

I don't know what to say.

Say yes.

I know I've only been here
for a short while...

you all have made me
feel so at home.

It's a feeling I haven't had
in a long time.

But?

I'm so sorry, Ray.

I already have
another assignment.

I'm due in Philly in two days.

After that, I...

I understand.

It was just a crazy thought.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Everything's exactly
as it should be.

Good night, you two.

We're turning in.

Shouldn't we help with the...

They've got it.

-Good night.
-Good night.

Subtle.

In a galaxy far, far away?

Hmm?

Oh. Yeah, I guess so.

You wanted to talk?

Yeah, no, it's nothing.

Oh.

Okay.

So, I was thinking

that we should stay in touch.

Sure, of course.
Yeah. Call me anytime.

Even if nothing's broken.

Same here.

I have something...

for you. Open it.

Oh, wow.

Thank you.

It's exactly what I needed.

Oh, I know.

A tool box.

Actually, I got something
for you, too.

Oh, it's beautiful.

I thought you should have
some "stuff."

Thank you.

I love it.

And I just want you to know

that I'm definitely not
going to miss you.

And I am definitely not
going to miss you either.

Merry Christmas, Zoey.

Merry Christmas.

Christmas Morning Rolls.

I can't remember the last time

we actually got to eat these
on Christmas Day.

Hey, you got any more
of those green beans?

It's 9:00 a.m.

What? I'm getting started
on dinner.

I'm so glad you guys came.

Christmas together every year,
no matter where you are.

Deal.

Sounds good to me.

I'm proud of you
and what you do.

Thanks, Deb.

I'll call when I'm back
in the city.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

All right. Bye.

-Love you!
-Love you!

Hey, Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

Great party.

Just what the doctor ordered.

Is everything okay?

I wanted to talk to you
about something.

Uh, I've been waiting

for the right time
to tell you this,

and I'm not even sure I should.

It wasn't just chance
that brought you here.

I did.

I wrote to you on the base
six years ago.

It came back unopened.

I guess you'd already
left by then.

My son told me
about this amazing doctor

who played chess with him
every day,

and how much
her friendship meant to him.

I'm so glad that he had you,

and I want to thank you

for being so much more
than a doctor to him.

I think about him every day.

What I could have done
differently,

how could I have saved him?

No, no, no, you couldn't have.

No one... no one could have.

But you were there for him
when he needed you.

He wasn't alone.

Your son was so special.

And so are you.

We're just so glad
that we have this chance

to spend time with you.

Happy New Year!
How was Philly?

The cheesesteaks were great.

The hospital was a madhouse.

Ty and I are going to a party.

Come out with us.

Thanks, I think
I'm going to stay in.

Don't tell me.

Pad Thai
and Fire-Roasted Chicken?

Lasagna and a meteor shower.

Love you, sis.

Love you, too.

Happy New Year.

Tell me you're not spending
New Year's Eve working.

Don't worry about me.
I've got plenty to do.

If you want,
I can stay another day.

Meteors with Dad
or party at the dorm?

-Go.
-You sure?

Positive.

I'll text when I get there.

-Two hours, no traffic.
-Don't forget...

I know, drive slow,
hands on the wheel,

2:00, 10:00.

I was going to say,

don't forget
to have a good time.

I love you, Dad.

I love you, too.

C'mon, let me walk you
to your car.

You and that channel-lock.

Oh... I'm so sorry.

Hey...

Well...

no bodily injuries
this time.

Maybe I could check.

What are you...

what are you doing here?

I thought we might
watch the meteors.

And I was wondering
if you might need a tenant.

You mean a locum tenant?

Actually, I'm not just looking
for a place to stay.

I'm looking for a place
to call home.

You really missed
that VCR, huh?

Yeah.

And you.

I think you just
stopped my heart.

That's okay.

I can restart it for you.

Hey.

Thanks for watching over me.

Day 1... of forever.
