We're 1 day away from the premiere of Kitchen Clash and everyone is excited!
Nancy is caring for Gus despite the fact that Gus doesn't want to be cared for. Nancy is also suspecting that her boyfriend is about to propose. Gus like this idea because that would mean Nancy would leave her alone.
Amanda bring Sergio coffee but just as friends. They're totally normal, non romantic friend.
Jay, remember Jay? Mae's fiancé. They're talking about the wedding and he asks about Mae's father and she wonders if maybe Farmer Jarvis could be her dad.
Shawna encourages Amanda to date again but Amanda isn't sure about that especially since Frank Jr hasn't signed the divorce papers yet.
Everyone is nervous about the show and so Mae is like it's gonna be a win for us because everyone is gonna come to our restaurant. Amanda knows she's just BSing them.
Over at Mr. Chicken's, Frank Jr. is clearly in over his head when it comes to the paperwork. He needs Amanda's help.
Farmer Jarvis stops by the restaurant, and Mae goes to ask some questions to see if he may be her father. They both like green beans, so that's clear as crystal.
Mae visits Gus and asks again about her dad. Gus isn't having it but insists it isn't Jarvis.
Frank Jr. shows up at Amanda’s house asking to join the premiere gathering. She agrees—only if he brings the signed divorce papers. He says okay but then proceeds to forget the divorce papers the next day.
Alone, Gus pulls out Mae’s baby box, filled with keepsakes and photos, including one of Mae’s father. She makes a call to someone.
Premiere day arrives. Sabrina shows up at Amanda’s door looking for her daughter who showed up a couple days ago. Sabrina agrees to stay in town until the wedding.
As everyone gathers at the Chicken Sisters' for the big night. Sabrina drops a bomb to Mae: the network might be using hidden camera footage for the show.
The premiere kicks off and immediately jumps to the Hidden camera footage of Amanda and Sergio kissing which shocks everyone and causes Frank Jr to throw something at the TV and storm out.

Cora is working hard with her bulletin board. Liam shows up with coffee and Cora is clearly annoyed with him. Obviously he did not agree with her to see if there was anything between them.
Back in angel land, we find out that Gabriel has taken an interest in this case. He warns them to make sure Liam does what he's supposed to do. Angel Agon sits down to watch some more 1800's Liam and Cora lore and he's loving it.
Back in present day, they all go out to a bar and it's a whole thing. A bad boy named Magnus shows up. He's an ex-cop and he starts hitting on Cora and she isn't upset about it.
So Agon comes to talk to Liam and he's like all of this would be so much easier if I didn't wince every time Cora shakes my hand. While they're talking, Cora's best friend Suzette comes out and sees Agon poof away. She freaks out and Liam comes clean about angels and that he's here on an important mission.
The next day, Liam discovers that the shock is gone which he immediately celebrates by hugging Cora and staring madly into his love.
Agon shows back up to talk to Liam and finds out about Suzette. He convinces Agon that this is good, Suzette can help with the mission and he agrees.
Cora begins to work with DA Finn on a case to try to get information from one of his clients. This dude doesn't wanna talk to Cora becasue she's a cop. So he talks to Finn in private.
Next thing you know, Finn is in a seedy bar playing billiards and Cora is not pleased by this because she thinks Finn is doing that guy a favor. So she leaves with Magnus who also happens to show up. While in the car, he gets a call from someone named Edith. He acts weird which she finds suspicious.
Agon is doing research to figure out with Magnus is sent by Bael from the other side but turns out he's just a bad guy who was being investigated as a cop and decided to just quit.
She begins to suspect that Magnus is in deep with bad people and maybe is connected to Meredith from the last special event. So she offers to come to his place.
While that's happening, Liam and Finn are hanging out for some bro time and he's like there's nothing between me and Cora, you should go for it brother. They figure out that she's at Magnus's house and they rush to get there.
Magnus pulls a gun on Cora after she discovers a bag of money under his bed. She runs out of the house and Magnus gets into a fight with her and ends up hitting her with an oar that sends her into the water.
Finn and Liam get there just in time for Finn to take down Magnus & Liam jumps into the water to save Cora. She is unconcious but comes to and her and Liam kiss big onessssss as Finn looks on in sadness.
She's in the hospital and both Finn and Liam show up to check on her. Liam tells Suzette that he kissed her. Suzette then goes outside and tells Bael CUZ SHE'S A BADDIE!!! I literally screamed.
Liam is pulled into a room by Agon and is told that the reason that Cora has to end up with Finn is to start a 501c3 and she needs a good guy by her side or that non-profit won't be formed.
So he goes and tells Finn that she's all his. He looks at her one last time and walks away. Fade to white.

The movie kicks off, once again way harder than it needs to. Bombay is out there crushing it in the minors. His future is bright. But he's hit hard and goes down with a knee injury. He goes back home and is picked up by Hans's brother, Yan. They talk about what's next for his life. He doesn't want to go back to Ducksworth. He doesn't think he can make money with pee wee. For now, he's just going to help out in the shop.
One day, he has a visitor. It's Don Tibbles and he wants Bombay to coach a team representing the United States in the Junior Goodwill Games in Los Angeles.
You'd think maybe there'd be an open try out. There's not. He just gets the Ducks back together thanks to Charlie.
Team USA is going to consists of the Ducks and 5 new players: Luis Mendoza, a fast skater who can't stop, Dwayne Robertson, a cowboy who is good with the puck, Julie "The Cat" Gaffney, a goalie that will give Goldberg a run for his money, Ken Wu, a junior Olympic figure skater, and Dean Portman, who is a new enforcer.
During the first practice, the teams tutor comes in. Michelle McCay. Bombay immediately puts on the moves.
The first practice is rocky, but that's nothing some line dancing and country music can't solve.
They have 1 school lesson and they're off to Los Angeles to get started! Up first, Trinidad & Tobago. Tough that USA has to play 2 teams at once but what can ya do. They dominate.
The next day, at a press conference, Team Iceland shows up and the coach says TEAM USA IS GOING DOWN, THAT'S WHERE THEY'RE GOING! That's coach and ex-NHL player Wolf "The Dentist" Stansson. More on him later.
Bombay begins to enjoy the fancy things that Dom Tibbles is giving him and begins to leave the team by themselves more which causes some issues. One night, Fulton & Portman are out past curfew and they see Bombay out on a date with one of the assistant coaches from Iceland.
Bombay walks into the locker room the next day in a fancy suite and his slick back hair. The vibes are off. It's time to play Iceland for the first time. It does not go well. They get blown out 12-1 and Tibbles threatens to fire him if he doesn't get this figured out. He yells at the team and they get real mad.
On a mandatory off day given by Michelle, the players go play some street hockey, against a team led by a kid who has been trash talking them at all the games. His name is Russ and he blows their minds with his knuckle-puck.
After a kick in the pants by Yan, Bombay goes to skate to clear his mind.
In their match against Germany, Bombay fails to arrive on time cuz I guess he lost track of time while skating? I dunno man.
Charlie asks Michelle to coach and she does her best but the team is struggling. Bombay finally arrives with his duck call which we all know is duck for "I'm sorry" and the team gets straight to business with the Flying V and win the game.
Bombay and Yan go full Mr Miagi and teach all the kids how to use their special skills. Bombay finds out that Banks has a hurt wrist and tells him he has to bench him. But Charlie has found his replacement - Russ and his knuckle-puck.
At the last team practice, Bombay wants to have some fun with a beach ball. The Dentist shows up, squashes their ball, and challenges Bombay to a 1 on 1 game. Bombay is killing him when The Dentists nails his knee with his stick intentionally.
It's time for the championship and Banks walks in to show that he's been healed. Only problem is his roster spot has been filled. So Charlie offers to give up his spot and become a coach. Bombay does not try to talk him out of it because Charlie sucks at hockey.
The game is off to a real rocky start and they go into intermission down 4-1.
So they head into the locker room and Bombay gives the classic "ducky fly together" speech and Yan surprises everyone with Ducks uniforms because there's no rule in the play book against changing jerseys during the game. And it works! Thanks to some clever play, the Ducks tie it up.
The championship comes down to a shootout. It's 4-3. Iceland has one more shot to tie it up. Naturally, Bombay puts in Julie the cat as goalie. She stops it and the Ducks, I mean Team USA, wins!!!
The team heads home and spends some time around the fire as they sing we are the champions together.

Clive is a fancy man who writes a fancy Christmas newsletter every year to tell everyone about all the fun things he did this year. And every year, Joe gets this letter and it just makes him mad. He goes to talk to his wife and complain about how they never do anything. They're alive but they aren't living. We find out that he met Clive in elementary school because Clive was his pen-pal. It was immediately clear that they were from different worlds. To make matters worse, he ends up getting fired. He dreams of having to live on the streets and he wakes up the next day which I guess is Christmas day and tells his wife that he cashed out his 401k so that they can really have a year to remember. They're gonna ski. They're gonna go to the Bahamas. They're gonna see Tigger Woods.
Up first, a very bizarre sleigh ride. His wife is not thrilled. And he caps it off by telling her that they're going to Clive's big birthday bash next summer.
The hits keep coming - they go to a fancy place for New Year's Eve but I guess his suit isn't good enough. This leads to him accidentally pressing the button to drop the ball too early.
The movie continues to be Joe & his family going on outings and it not being what they thought it was. His wife is like I'm not having fun, but he gaslights her into continuing along with the plan.
After many many issues, he decides to delete the document he had been working on. But after getting the new letter from Clive, he finishes his letter. His wife tells him if he sends the letter, there might not be a we anymore.
He ends up at a bar where Kristoffer Polaha is. And he gives him the same advice his wife gave him all year - his life is pretty good. No need to lie.
It's Christmas Day and we see his wife getting a lot of calls about how amazing their Christmas card was. She's very confused.

On this season of The Way Home, it starts with someone running through the woods. I kid I kid. This couple is running through the wood, rocking old timey garb, as they're chased with people. That doesnt stop them from hiding behind a tree for a kissssss.
They get back to running and she trips over a rock and falls off a cliff as her boo thang yells CORAAAAAA. She keeps falling until she lands ... in present day into her bed.
She jerks awake thanks to her alarm and gets ready for the day in her house that is currently being remodeled. Cora is a cop, now detective, and she goes to get coffee and bumps into Assistant DA Finn who is more a tea guy. He congratulates her on her promotion and offers to buy her lunch so they can talk about her new case.
She gets to her new case - a jewelry store burglary. As she works with the owner to figure out what's been taken, one item sticks out to her - a necklace that shoots her back into her dream right before she dies. She's wearing the necklace as her boo thing says he'll love her in every lifetime. Boo thing Liam is snagged up by the the bad guys.
Suddenly, Liam is zapped to an all white room and these angels give him the run down - he's been in limbo for 200 years. Limbo is closing and he has to earn his place in heaven. How so? Help Cora, who has been reincarnated, end up with her true soul mate - Finn. See, Liam is a thief. He's stolen a lot including Cora who he stole from her fated mate. Now he has a chance to make it right.
Suddenly, he's zapped into modern day. He has a badge and he finds out that he's been brought in from Portland by his buddy Chief Boyd who he recognizes from his past life. Body wants him to help out a rookie detective. I wonder who that could be.
Liam is very confused by trying to figure things out as he goes until Boyd brings him to the jewelry store and he locks eyes with Detective Cora which is shocking to him because she's a women. She asks if they've met and he says not in this lifetime.
We see some flashbacks that show that Liam met Cora when he broke into her fancy family's house.
It's pretty clear that in modern time, Finn & Clara are diggin each other, so what can Liam even do? Especially since he gets shock every time they touch.
Liam ends up moving into Cora's guest house. What could go wrong? Turns out a ton because before they go to this fundraising dance together, she asks him to zip up her dress. Boy oh boy.
We get another flash back to a time that he saw her through a window at a dance. She comes out and tells him that she's betrothed to Finn. She asks what he was going to steal that night he broke in. He looks at her necklace. She gives it to him and they almost kiss but she gets called back in. In this flashback, he comes across a dead body of this dude named John.
He believes that this is going to happen again in present day, so he goes to get a ride with a girl, Meredith, who is hot for him despite being married to John, to try to stop the murder.
While he's gone, Cora dances with Finn. He takes her home and they're about to kiss and they get a call - there's been a murder.
Obviously, Liam and Meredith didn't get there in time mainly because Liam doesn't know how to pump gas.
Liam is a suspect because he mysteriously called it in and he was with John's wife at the time, which does seem suspicious. Cora is hurt because she thought they had something but now she knows that he's bad news.
Flashback to Liam who goes to talk to Cora. He tells her that he's wanted for murder. She says that they'll run, she'll go with him because she loves him. And then they kiss big ones.
Back in present day, Cora is able to clear Liam's name. She tells him that she feels like meeting him was inevitable. She likes him and she wants to find out what "this" could be. She says would you? Fade to...white?

The movie kicks off with a guy stumbling around a diner, literally stabbed in the back. Knife sticking out. Eventually, he just falls to the ground.
Cut back a bit to to Aurora. Her and boyfriend Daniel, who is the cook at the diner they work at, are talking about going out for their 6 month anniversary. See the dude who got stabbed at the beginning is Aurora's boss, Emilio.
Officer Arthur comes into the office carrying a ton of coffee's. He is greeted by Detective Cook and his ex-wife, Larissa, who has been sent to investigate why this precinct's arrest percentage is lower then the national average.
Back at the diner, Aurora overhears her boss arguing with this lawyer in his office.
Later, Aurora is working hard at the library. She realizes that she left her phone at the diner, so she calls Daniel on the library phone to tell him she's going to be a little late - she has to run grab her phone. When she gets there, she discovers some black beads on the ground. So she turns on the light and finds Emilio, dead on the ground. She goes to run out just as Daniel is conveniently walking it.
The cops show up and Officer Arthur and Detective Cook immediately accuse Daniel since it's his fancy knife in the back. Aurora is like no way - Daniel loved Emilio. They never fought. They're like well did you ever see him fight with anyone? Daniel says his ex-wife and he came in earlier in the day. They take Daniel downtown anyway and he's a real suspect.
Aurora is really mad that they're treating Daniel like a suspect, so she's going to investigate it herself. That starts by showing up to Emilio's wake to talk to his ex-and their son. It does not go well.
Emilio's current girlfriend Kathleen is there as well but they seemed to really love each other. So it definitely wasn't her.
Aurora goes to talk to his ex again and sees that her earrings have black beads on it. could be nothing. could be everything.
Aurora and Daniel go back to the diner to look some more. Suddenly, Daniel is just gone. The cops show up and Daniel is found unconscious on the ground.
He's alive, don't worry. But he does get an envelope full of cash which the police find suspicious.
The son becomes a suspect because it turns out they bought a movie ticket just to have an alibi "just in case" which isn't something innocent people do. Except in this case. Because he didn't do it.
Ultimately, it turns out it was his business partner that killed him because Kathleen used to be with him and he was jealous. Womp womp.
Daniel tells Aurora he's leaving, so I guess that's that. And Officer Arthur is pumped. It's finally his time.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH
The movie starts harder than any kids movie has ever started before. The movie? Intense. And we see a little Gordon Bombay get told from his coach that it all comes down to him and losing isn't an option, he proceeds to miss the goal and lose.
Cut to present day, Gordon Bombay is now a brash defense attorney that wants to win at all costs. After winning his latest case, he celebrates with some drinking and driving. He gets pulled over and that's not good.
This gets back to his boss, Mr. Ducksworth. He puts him on paid leave and tells him he's been given 500 hours of community service coaching pee-wee hockey.
Speaking of hockey, we meet the team. A group of rag tag kids who love pranking random people with dog poop. They also love hockey despite the fact that they suck at it.
Coach Bombay gets out there and sees the team. They're currently 0-9. He starts by telling them he doesn't like kids. He tells them to scrimmage while he gets on a phone call in his limo. The kids don't scrimmage. Instead, they jump on the limo and begin to shake it. They get inside and demand a ride when Charlie's mom, the mother of one of the kids on the team, shows up, yells at Bombay and makes Charlie come home.
Wouldn't you know it, their first game is against the Hawks - Bombay's old team that is still coached by his old coach, Reilly. The Hawks are a legit hockey team. District 5? Not so much. They don't even have the right equipment. They get absolutely destroyed. Convinced that they can't win with their play, Bombay teaches them how to take the fall, act hurt, and get indignant. Charlie's not having and refuses to play by Bombay's silly rules.
Bombay, feeling a bit lost, goes to talk to his old mentor Hans who gives him the kick in the pants he needs to remember his love of hockey.
He goes to apologize to Charlie and his mom and ends up staying for dinner. He is feeling inspired and convinces Ducksworth to sponsor the team.
Bombay is suddenly the greatest coach of all time. They even tie a game.
Bombay recruits three new players: siblings Tommy and Tammy Duncan, who are skilled figure skaters, and Fulton Reed, a giant who shoots a puck like a bullet out of a gun.
Bombay discovers that due to rezoning, Hawks’ star Adam Banks should be playing for the Ducks, and forces Reilly to transfer him. While arguing with Reilly, Bombay sarcastically says that the kids don't deserve to live. They take that personally for some reason and refuse to play the next game.
Ducksworth calls Bombay and tells him he either lets Banks play for the Hawks or he's fired. Bombay says quack quack quack and leaves to go make up with the kids.
The Ducks begins to win a lot thanks to their regained trust of Bombay and the addition of Banks, despite the fact that he is a cake-eater. They make it to the championship against the Hawks. The Hawks strike early and go up 3-0. Reilly wants to make sure it's a blow out by ordering his players to take Banks out. Literally puts him on a stretcher.
Bombay tells Reilly he's going down and go gives the pep talk of all pep talks. They pull out all the stops. Fulton's big time. Figure skating. The flying V. and finally, when they need it the most, it's the triple deke to win the game.
They celebrate by Bombay kissing Charlie's mom in front of everyone which is out of line if you ask me.
The movie ends with Bombay boarding a bus to go try out for the minors again, his dream alive again. But promises he'll be back for next season no matter what.

The movie kicks off with a couple dancing at a party, having a great time. It's Ben and Cassie and they end up dating. They are heading to rural Oregon to spend Christmas with his family. We meet Ben's sister who is really into vlogging, and their parents, Kirby & Mia. We immediately see that this family is a bit chaotic. They sit down for dinner and other brother Gordon shows up out of nowhere. The energy at this dinner is real weird. And then it comes out that she doesn't eat meat...and he doesn't eat meat either. Gordon begins to grill Cassie about why she's vegetarian and pushes back why it's about the environment. And Ben just kinda sits there and lets it happen.
So Cassie is hurt that 1. Ben didn't tell them about being vegetarian and 2. that he'd just let Gordon attack her like that. He's like oh my bad, but look at my funny ho ho ho underwear. Wanna have smex? She does not. She tells him that this isn't working and has known that for a while. So they break up and we're not even 30 minutes in.
The next morning, they go to buy her a flight but there's a big storm and there are no flights until after Christmas. The family is finally looped in. It's a whole thing.
Ben decides the best way to fix this situation is by calling her best friend and asking for advice. Obviously that information gets back to Cassie which only makes things worse. His dad takes him out to the train tracks to tell him to stop being a dummy and just let her go.
Cassie calls her mom and she could not be less helpful. But Ben's mom comes up and comforts her, cuz mom's gonna mom.
The next day, she can't stand being in the room by herself anymore so she decides to go out with his family and she ends up having a fun time with everyone except for Ben who she is still giving the cold shoulder to.
This gives Ben time to bond with Gordon over lost love.
And Cassie ends up getting close to Ben's sister.
Ben continues to not learn his lesson and tries to get back together with Cassie.
It's Christmas Day and Cassie is thoughtful AF and gives everyone the perfect Christmas gift including some architecture socks for Ben, And then Ben surprises her by giving her a plane ticket home or a rental car to get her to Portland. She stays for lunch and then goes her way.
The movie ends sometime later with the sister now going through a breakup and Gordon & Ben are helping her through while Ben wears his socks from Cassie.
