Deck The Hallmark

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH It’s photoshoot time! Everyone is out there waiting including Alicia and Gail. Gail is like last night, I let Alicia down. Not today!  Kerry and her daughters are there and I’m pretty convinced Alexandrea doesn’t wanna be there.  Rob tells his girlfriend Donna about meeting Paul and Andrew on the ship but obviously doesn’t tell her about what they talked about. Cut to Paul trying to get Tyler and Kimberley in on the wedding ceremony.  So they show everyone getting like 7 seconds to take a picture with everyone. Hynes is down there just goofing off. Rob and Donna come in and Paul is like ROB - making him look awesome in front of Donna.  Paige gives Tyler a bracket with her name in it which is wild.  Afterwards, Alexandrea was like you should make another bracelet with your number in it.  Gail and Alicia meet Betty Hynes who is just the best. They ask her “is Tyler the same on screen and off” and Betty says “he’s the bad boy for Hallmark for a reason”. Betty is a star,  Paige and Alexandrea are hanging out, and she tells her about moving back to California and how she is nervous to tell mom.  Remember Nate and his grandmas? Nate is just soaking up people telling him happy birthday, and I can’t stress this enough - it’s not his birthday. They’re shopping at the hallmark store when Erin Cahill walks up and Erin is like Nate you’re the best, happy birthday. And they bond over their mutual love of their grandmas, and Erin buys them everything they have in their hands!  Lori and her sister talk about how to get their Christmas screenplay in front of someone at Hallmark.  Donna is in the gym now and of course Nikki DeLoach is there. What are the odds?! And they bond. She talks about her brain surgery, Nikki talks about a rabbi she really likes. It’s sweet.  Gail and Alicia are hanging out and Alicia is like hey I booked us an ATV excision in the Bahamas. Gail is not thrilled by this. But she agrees to give it a shot.  Rob and Donna get together for drinks with Kerry and her daughters and it’s a whole thing. They bond over surgeries and then Donna and Kerry’s daughter go to the bar and  Rob tells Kerry his plan and she says her daughter will do Donna’s makeup. Plan is really coming together!  The script sisters magically bumped in Benjamin Ayers and Sarah Drew and she pitched them the script and they love it. She asks if they will read it and they just kinda stare at each other.  Gail gets on the ATV and chickens out.  So Kerry and her daughters go to swim with the pigs which is run by Shane Gillis doing a Bahamian accent. Afterward, Paige tells her mom she wants to move to California. She’s not thrilled.  And then episode ends with Rob, ring box in hand on the beach of the Bahamas, getting ready to propose.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH Nikki Crandon is a BIG deal pop star and she's working on her upcoming Christmas album, sounding fine I guess. It's Thanksgiving day and Chris is heading over to his parents house for Thanksgiving with his 2 kids and he's feeling pretty sad cuz his wife is dead. His daughter Sophie seems totally fine with the fact that her mom is dead though, so that's good. They turn on the Thanksgiving football game and guess who's singing the national anthem? Nikki Crandon! Chris comes in and sees her on tv and gets weird. Sophie really wants to go see the Nikki Crandon Christmas concert on Christmas Eve  and everyone is weird about it so Sophie is like what the heck? He finally tells the truth - they went to high school with Nikki and she was his first love.  And it's pretty clear he still has feelings for her. So the kids decide that they're going to sneak off to NYC for a meet and greet and tell her that their dad is still in love with her. At first, Sophie fumbles the opportunity but she turns around on her way out and belts out MY DAD IS CHRIS MARSHALL AND HE IS STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU! Nikki decides to give the kids a ride home and goes to say hi to Chris. And at first, he fumbles the opportunity (like father, like daughter). But before she drives off, he runs out and asks to get dinner. So the next day, she shows up to his basketball game and they go get a burger and it's going fine. The night ends with her asking him why he left her and he said he didn't wanna get in the way of her career taking off. Good enough for her and they kiss big ones.  The next day, this picture is everywhere. Her manager wants her to call it off but she's not having it. Chris calls her and they agree to get dinner at a 5 star resteraunt. The dinner does not go well. First, the record exec shows up and gives him a wad of cash. Then when she's in the restroom, her movie star ex-boyfriend shows up. Chris realizes, once again, that he's just not right for her and her career, so he leaves. She shows up to his house and gives them tickets to her Christmas eve shows. He says they're not gonna go but after a pep talk from his mom, they all show up. He sneaks back stage and after the show, he gets on stage and professes his love. She comes back on stage and they kiss big ones and he asks if she wants to go steady. They kiss some more as the crowd cheers.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTH The president reaches out to thank Ethan and tells him that she wants him to bring her the key because if he gets rid of the Entity by himself, it would destroy cyberspace.    So he goes to meet up with Benji and go find Luther in a tunnel to figure out what’s next, where Luther is hanging out with a hospital bed. They discuss that they need to find Gabriel, so that starts by breaking Paris out    She tells him to go to London but instead Gabriel captures them and explains to Ethan that retrieving Rabbits Foot actually set off this whole chain reaction. Ethan and Grace escape with Ethan faking his death and then him just going ham on some dudes.    They discover a device that Gabriel used to communicate with the Entity, this coffin-looking thing. He gets in and it’s not good. It shows Ethan a vision of a coming nuclear apocalypse. He sees a vision of Luther dying, so he goes to try to stop him but it’s too late. Gabriel put him in a cell with a bomb in it. He has 3 minutes to disarm or London will fall. If he does disarm it, it’ll still explode but smaller so only Luther will die    When Ethan gets out of the tunnel, he runs into Briggs who arrests him. Ethan tells him he knows he’s really the son of Jim Phelps. He tells Ethan this isn’t about revenge. It’s about Ethan never following orders and gambling with the fate of the world.    He’s taken to  Kittridge who tells him it all comes down to this. They have less than 4 days to stop the Entity before it has the entire world’s nuclear weapons.    He’s taken into a room and President Sloan shows up. He says he needs the key and a plane. It’s the only way he can destroy the Entity. The Entity is betting on you not trusting me    She finally gives in, gives him the key, and card that he’ll know what to do with it when the time comes.    Ethan's team travels to St. Matthew Island in the Bering Sea, home to a Cold War–era sonar array that detected the Sevastopol's sinking. They locate former CIA analyst William Donloe, who was exiled to the island decades earlier after a break-in at CIA headquarters. They’re supposed to share on a frequency where Ethan is supposed to go. But they have visitors.    Ethan can’t wait anymore, so he just jumps in the ocean. Luckily, divers from the USS Ohio were waiting for him and they take him down to the sub.    Donloe admits that he wrote down the coordinates. He sends his wife out to the barn to “tend to the dogs” with Grace while he sends the coordinates then a fight and fire break out with the Russians. They successful get the USS Ohio the coordinates.    The captain of the USS Ohio explains they can’t stick around cuz of the Russians. Ethan says their chamber was never apart of the plan.    Luckily, Grace is given a chamber from Donloe’s wife.    Ethan makes it down to the submarine and it’s not going great because it’s on the edge of a cliff and it keeps moving which is tough. He is able to get the source code, but he has to escape through a torpedo tunnel which is too tight, so he has to take off the suit and then take off the mask. He makes it to the top but he’s unconscious. Grace finds him and is able to cpr him back to life. She lays with him in the chamber until he wakes up.    Grace tells Ethan that she thinks he should control the Entity. He says no one can be trusted with this much power.    Now reunited with his team, they work on the next plan. Ethan outlines his plan to use the Poison Pill that Luther made before he died that is now in the hands of Gabriel. They would then upload and isolate the Entity on a physical drive, trapping it from the outside world. Ethan suspects Gabriel is already waiting at the South African bunker with the Poison Pill, aiming to seize control of the Entity by forcing Ethan to surrender the module. But that’s what Ethan is banking on.    The president is running out of time and her team is trying to convince her to use their nucular bombs before it’s too late.    Ethan prepares to enter the tunnel, expecting Gabriel to be there and fully ready to let Gabriel kill him for the sake of the plan.    Gabriel is indeed there and  reveals another nuclear device with a twenty-minute countdown, demanding the module. Ethan agrees, but the handover is interrupted by Kittridge & Briggs who wants the U.S. to control the Entity.    The bomb is activated when they show up which is unfortunate. Ethan explains they need to give the module to Gabriel.     A gunfight transpires with Gabriel’s team and he is able to flee and Benji is shot but Ethan doesn’t know it.    Ethan gets to a vehicle to chase Gabriel but it crashes so he has to run to catch up. He’s late but he is able to grab onto a trailing plane which catches up to Gabriel’s plane. He jumps off his and onto Gabriel’s.    Paris performs emergency surgery on Benji as he guides Grace to reboot the bunker systems to trap the Entity while Donloe works to disarm the bomb.    Right as the president is about to press the button to make the attack, she decides to rather take our weapons offline but she’s too late. The Entity takes control.    Ethan finds a second parachute, escapes with the Poison Pill, and unites it with the module, allowing Grace to finish the upload. Kittridge and CIA agent Jasper Briggs find Ethan; Kittridge is frustrated when Ethan hands over the destroyed module of the Sevastopol while Briggs — who is revealed to be James Phelps Jr., the son of Ethan's original team leader Jim Phelps — makes peace with him. The IMF team reunites in London, where Grace gives Ethan the Entity, now safely isolated on the drive, and the team goes their separate ways.
