The story so far
Everything you need before watchingKate is stuck on a tropical beach for Christmas with her mom's new boyfriend, Bob. She wants snow, cookies, and her friends' parties, not umbrella drinks. Teddy tells her to relax; she snaps that she liked him better as a car thief. Bob kisses Claire in the surf and later sings her late father's favorite song. The holiday is not the real fight. The fight is that Bob is not Dad. Watch Kate dump every grievance onto the man trying to join the family.
