Danny's like, “Zach, you're coming with me to my sister's wedding.” When he tells his buddies that Zach is tagging along, they're like, “Shouldn't you already be dating someone?” Danny insists, “No way—we're just friends. We're too different.”At the wedding, Danny and Zach dance and talk—Zach about a new guy he's seeing, Danny about what went wrong with his ex.A month later, Danny meets Nolan, who flatters him by calling him the greatest pitcher the Phillies ever had. Turns out, Zach and Nolan end up together—but Zach doesn't tell Danny. At Pete's wedding, Danny tries to bring it up, but Zach shuts it down. They just dance instead. While dancing, Zach admits that he had proposed to Nolan, but Nolan turned him down, and they broke up.Later, the guys convince Danny to shoot his shot with Zach. He finally decides to—only for Zach to reveal that Nolan is actually back, and this time they're getting married.

ABOUT DOUBLE SCOOPNora and James were once the dream team at a top New York ad agency, but now they're locked in a frosty competition for the sweetest client of all: a small-town dairy farm that churns out the most delectable ice cream in the country.AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR DOUBLE SCOOP:August 23, 2025 | Hallmark ChannelCAST & CREW OF DOUBLE SCOOP:Taylor Cole as NoraRyan McPartlin as JamesPatrick Muldoon as EverettJacklyn Collier as ShannonBRAN'S DOUBLE SCOOP SYNOPSIS:Nora is a hotshot advertiser who brings her boss, Alexandra, a cake for her birthday. Alexandra left their previous company, H Company, to start a rival firm. Nora's closest teammate—and rival—James chose to stay behind, and now he's up for the potential Vice President role.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.After dinner, Nora and James lay down some ground rules: no sabotage, no scarfing down ice cream to win favor, and both present their pitches—the best pitch wins.

James offers her a ride.From there, they spend more time together—working on the farm, sharing late nights. One sleepless evening leads to a romantic night under the stars, surrounded by fireflies.One day, James chats with the mayor and learns the town is running out of funding for local farms.

Nora is furious—she feels James is bribing the owners.Finally, pitch day arrives. The owners choose James.Back at the office, James learns his boss called ahead and warned the owners against working with Alexandra. Disgusted, he quits.Later, Nora discovers the owners called her instead—they're going with her after all, because they found out James walked away.She goes to see James, who reveals Alexandra offered him a job. He'll only take it if it's okay with her, because he's madly in love with her and doesn't want anything to come between them again. They kiss—and kiss some more.

One of the most divisive books in children's literature is Shel Silverstein's "The Giving Tree," the story of a dysfunctional relationship between a boy and a sentient apple tree who gives him everything she has, from her apples and leaves to her branches and trunk, until all that's left is a stump.Meant as a parable of unconditional love, writer Topher Payne thought our doomed pair needed a better ending to their sad story.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTHCora 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.

Send us a textIn this episode of Hallmark Mysteries & More, Eric and Andrea dive into a thoughtful review of Providence Falls: Chance of a Lifetime, the first installment in Hallmark's latest time-bending romantic trilogy.Katie Stevens stars as Cora, a rookie detective unknowingly partnered with her reincarnated soulmate, Liam (played by Lachlan Quarmby), sent back to redirect fate. But does the movie deliver on its high-concept premise?Andrea admits to being underwhelmed on her first viewing, citing pacing issues and character overload—but a partial second watch starts to shift her opinion. Eric, having seen all three films, urges patience, emphasizing the trilogy structure and how much richer the story becomes with context. They break down the movie's ambitious narrative structure, the distinct visual styles across time periods, and that now-infamous love triangle twist that left some viewers with emotional whiplash.Plus, they spotlight standout characters (hello, Angels Egon and Samal!), debate whether this really qualifies as a time-travel movie, and share behind-the-scenes trivia, including cold stunts filmed in freezing Vancouver and an intentional wink to The Way Home.

Send us a textEric and Andrea dig into the first Golden Girls–branded cozy, unpacking how a date gone wrong in a hotel freezer collides with Rose's over-the-top St. Olaf–themed wedding week—cheesecake, snobbery, and all. They flag that this opener reads like “Book 1” in a series and centers Rose more than Dorothy, with Sophia and Blanche taking a back seat this round.    The verdict: fans of the show's rhythms and in-jokes will likely vibe with the voices (Rose's Minnesota quirks, Sophia's purse-and-punchlines energy), the 80s/90s nostalgia, and the VHS-dating cringe that feels perfectly on brand. As a mystery, it's unmistakably cozy: light stakes, a clean twist both hosts admired, and an ending Eric found a bit too “silly” even if the reveal lands.      They split on craft: Andrea thought the character voices and structure worked; Eric felt the prose had a self-published sheen and pointed to print-format hiccups others noticed (typos and odd paragraph breaks). Still, both agree it scratches the Golden Girls itch and sets the table for future installments.    Highlights include a spoiler-free Mystery Minute on the twist, a quick Romance Roundup (Dorothy's ill-fated date plus wedding mayhem), and Character Corner picks—Dorothy for propelling the plot; Sophia for her blunt, tender beats. They wrap with “Hallmark & Chill” read-alikes like The Thursday Murder Club and pancake-house cozies for listeners craving more feather-light sleuthing between cheesecake slices.      If you love the show's cadence and want a cheerful, low-stakes whodunit with plenty of lanai-level banter, this one's a sweet bite to start the series.Follow us on social media: Instagram and TikTok: @hallmarkmysteriesandmoreYoutubeOr visit our website.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTHOn 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?

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.

Katie Lee Biegel grew up in Milton, West Virginia, descended from a long line of women who really knew how to cook. Her grandparents had a big vegetable garden and canned their own green beans and tomatoes. Her great grandmother won blue ribbons for her angel food cake, her great aunt was a fabulous cook, and all of them instilled in her a love for comfort food and hospitality that she's carried all her life. After getting a lot of attention in the media for her marriage to Billy Joel at age 23, she started writing cookbooks, landed a gig hosting Top Chef, wrote a novel about surfing, and eventually became a co-host of The Kitchen on the Food Network, which she's now been doing for 11 seasons. These days, Katie is busier than ever, with a new movie coming out on the Hallmark Channel called Catch of the Day, which she produced and co-wrote, and a 5 year-old daughter who does not love vegetables. Sid talks to Katie about her Appalachian roots, her favorite restaurant ever, her recipe for sweet tea oven fried chicken, and her family's Christmas tradition in West Virginia.

Paige has her phone number bracelet ready to go in case she bumps into Tyler again, but I'm sure she won't. Gail and Alicia are preparing for the last day. Gail wants to come up with a fun way of thank Alicia for getting her out of her comfort zone before they leave. Rob is getting ready for the ceremony and he rolls out a red carpet and it's wrinkly AF and that's why I love Rob. True to her word, Paige is doing Donna's makeup for the wedding. Gail finds Wes Brown getting ready for his cocktail tasting and pitches an idea - at the next Carol-oke, she wants to sing jingle bells with an original Christmas song. Of course, Wes has his guitar ready to go help. She's like here's what I have so far….dashing through the snow….ok so I have nothing. Wes is being so patient and they're gonna work it out great. It's wedding time. Donna is in her dress and it's real nice. Most people are in their Christmas pjs. Of course the Vaneer family show up in dresses. Ben, Kim, and Andrew are there. Drew is the best man. But who will be the maid of honor??? Nikki DeLoach obviously. The gym connection is real. And Tyler Hynes is gonna step in as daddy and walk her down the aisle. It's magical. They've FaceTime'd in their family. Paul crushes the ceremony. He asks if anyone objects, and Ben does a bit. Alicia gets a note from Gail to meet her at Carol-oke. She shows up and Gail goes up there and sings her song and crushes it!

They're just playing around and giving pointers to the script. It's a dream come true. So Alicia and Gail show up for dinner, dresses with tiaras, ready to celebrate their birthdays. Get outta here Nate. But then I find out they've been celebrating their birthdays all year. I don't think it's their birthday either. But it's their 60th and they have a lovely dinner. And Gail gives Alicia a teacup just like her grandma used to have. She starts to cry. She says at first, she wasn't happy to be turning 60 but now she realizes what a gift it is to even get to 60. I love them so much. Kerry and her daughters are up on the top of the ship playing ball. Apparently Paige played college ball at Yale. Suddenly Tyler and Ben walk up and Kerry, the ultimate momma wingmen, calls them over and invites them to play. Paige gives Tyler her bracelet. And they have a moment. I think it's gonna work out between them. The episode ends at the Christmas ball on the final night. Everyone is super dressed up. All of our cruisers talk about how amazing the cruise was and they can't wait for next year.

So we'll see. We find out that Ben Ayres did take the script from Lori and that he'll do what he can to get it into the right hands. Cut back to Gail looking real scared on the ATV. Suddenly, Tyler Hynes comes rolling up on an ATV and he says “my mom said I should come find 2 attractive women for some adventure”. He says Gail I know you're nervous, how about you hop on the back of mine and I'll help you. And Alicia is now like “wait I'm scared too”! Gail hops on and they get moving and Gail is loving life, holding onto Tyler Hynes. Cut over to Paige telling momma Kerry about her move. At first, she says it's a terrible idea. But she tells her that you know that I support you. It's time for you to do your own thing. Tyler pulls over and tells Gail it's time for her to try it on her own (plus he needs to give Alicia some love and ride with her cuz he's a gentlemen). She's nervous but she does it!!! You go Gail! Lori is proud of herself for handing over her script. She doubts anything will come of it but she did it and that's big for her. And her sister is so proud of her. After ATV riding, Tyler hangs out with Alicia and Gail and gives them a friendship pep talk that would make you run through a wall. They then all get rocks and write down something they want to let go of and they throw it into the water. Back on cruise, it's time for the pajama party, of course the 3 wise men do their dance.

They have the script. Paul tells them that they checked out the first couple pages and then he pauses and that's it. 

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTHThe movie kicks off with Emilie taking her niece Alana and nephew J.T to see their mom who is in the hospital following an accidental overdose. Emilie isn't really fit to take care of the kids but she doesn't want them to get put in the system, so she takes them and they get on the road. They stop in this small town of Bethlehem and go to this diner where this women is talking about how they should stay at the Pierce home and keeps talking about angels. Turns out, she's an angel! We know that because when a police officer comes in after they left, she's no where to be found.So Emilie stops at the Pierce home, finds the key, and they stay there for the night. In the morning, there's a knock at the door. It's two ladies who live across the street. They assume she's the Pierce's niece all grown up. They bring breakfast, turn on the gas and the water, and couldn't be more helpful.  Emilie decides not to push their luck and goes to leave. But her car breaks down before they can leave. The local police chief, Nathan Blair, pulls up and offers to give them a ride into town for some groceries. He ends up paying for everything.  And boy is he into her. She knows that they can only stay there for a little bit so she tries to put up walls but he's not having it. He looks into her and the angel helps make all the paper work for the house seem official. A fax comes in that shows that she's wanted for kidnapping but the police department doesn't notice it. No problem at all. Nathan shows up to put up more Christmas decorations for the kids and they end up kissing in the attic. She knows she has to leave before Christmas because her "uncle" is supposed to show up. But when she finds out that the airport is closed, she decides to stay and bring the kids to see "Santa" who is actually Nathan. It's there that everything goes to heck. First, the police administrator finds the fax. And then Alana tells Santa that she wants to see her real mom for Christmas. Nathan is real mad so he goes to a bar and talk to the angel who encourages him to forgive her.This case immediately goes to court to figure out what to do with Emilie, for lying about who she is and with the kids who she kidnapped. Nathan shows up and speaks in support of Emilie, says that they can live with him, and that he'd also like to marry her because he loves her. That's enough for the judge. They're good to go and they kiss big ones as the kids run and hug them. They go outside and it's snowing and Alana notices the statue of the angel in the town square looked a whole lot like the angel from the diner. It was a season for miracles.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTHIt's photoshoot time! Everyone is out there waiting including Alicia and Gail. Gail is like last night, I let Alicia down.

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.
