If they win the chocolate contest, they could save the store. But there’s a lot to this - they have to help drive up ticket sales for the contest, so Benji (who doesn’t want them to lose the store, he’s just doing what his dad asks him to do) pitches a golden ticket campaign. I’m foggy on how it’ll help, but he insists it will.Penny and Benji go on a carriage ride together. The sparks are flying, I guess. He even comes to help her build the chocolate castle for the competition.The judge comes to town and Coco gives him a chocolate face mask which he has an allergic reaction to and has to go to the hospital, so their chocolate castle won’t be judged.Just as she feels like she’s enjoying being home and falling for Benji, she sees him with another girl.

She quits and tells her old boss she’s gonna go home and start a nonprofit.She confronts Benji. Turns out he was with his sister. So they’re good.And the good news keeps coming.

But holding it, she sees an opportunity - chocolate Santa cups. She decides she’s gonna make a ton of them and sell them to everyone in the town.

Turns out it was just a misunderstanding. Albert’s wife asked her to come feed the fish. Just a big misunderstanding, so she’s released. Unfortunately for Sam, that punk son-in-law Wes is holding a press conference calling out Helen for being a murderer. Sam is like Helen isn’t a suspect in any case. Wes is REAL MAD!Emily is blown away by how hard Brooke is going on her Chairman campaign. She decides to kinda lean into her own campaign - it is bringing customers into the store, after all.Emily bumps into Ruth who reiterates her suspicions of Helen. Hearing her causes Emily to reconsider how sure she is that Helen is innocent.Mayor Famous Ray brings Sam a complaint he found that Albert filed a couple years back about how bright his Christmas lights are. He thinks Albert did it!Turns out that Helen actually doesn’t stand to gain any financial benefit from her husband’s death. She had absolutely no motive. After talking to Helen, Emily notices something suspicious with one of the lawn reindeer...it has a hidden camera in its nose!We get a little flashback showing how things ended between Emily and Aaron back in the day. He told her he loved her which threw her off and gave him time to leave before she sounded the alarm.We get the footage...it was Albert that took the ladder down! When Sam brings him in for questioning, he says it was just a joke. He thought it’d be funny to see him freak out and have to call for help. He does offer something helpful - he saw Ruth’s car parked down the street. Why would she leave and then park down the street? Awfully suspicious.While talking about the case, things get real steamy between Emily & Sam. He pulls her close. He tells her how lost he was without her around. She says home isn’t a place, it’s a person. OH BOYYYYYY.Sam finds out some interesting information - Richard was working to add Helen to the will without Ruth’s knowledge. He suspects that Ruth found out about that and that’s what the argument was about the night he died. Luckily for her, he never made it to the lawyer’s office to sign those papers so she gets all of her dad’s estate.He brings Ruth in for questioning. She says that she pulled over because she was upset and didn’t feel well enough to drive. Sam says what was the argument about? She says he said that if it came down to it, he would choose Helen over her. Sam asks if she was on the roof at all that night. She says absolutely not.Emily gives a very nice speech at the Christmas Chairman debate about how the town deserves a Chairman who can bring Christmas spirit to the town all day. She brings up Helen. She says the town needs to come around Helen and encourage her instead of condemning her and judging her. Fletcher’s Grove isn’t about Christmas markets, it’s about the people who show kindness to its people. That’s Christmas spirit.Afterwards, Emily tells Sam she has an idea on how they can get the killer - whether it’s Ruth or Albert - to confess but he’s not gonna like it.Emily is on a stakeout at the house seeing if anyone shows up to cover up any evidence on the roof. She hears movement. She goes up and...it’s Wes. She tells him her theory and he’s like no no it’s not what it looks like but then proceeds to try to push her off the roof. So clearly he did it. She’s holding on to the edge when the lights turn on which blinds him, giving her time to pull herself up and wrap him up in Christmas lights. Sam shows up and arrests him.Emily wins Chairman but she says she’s going to pass and to give it to Brooke.That night, she gets a text to meet up at the checkpoint. She shows up and it’s the leader of the shadow ops. She wants to check on Emily and make sure she’s going to get back on the road and keep searching for Aaron after the holidays. Emily is not thrilled by this check-in. Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtubeInterested in advertising on the show?
