A California Christmas

Joseph transforms from a selfish playboy to a generous and caring family man. Callie learns to love again after loss. She struggles with grief and bears responsibility for her mom and little sister as well as their family farm. She's determined to keep the farm afloat. Wendy has opted to die with dignity and enjoy her final days rather than endure more painful treatments. She seems to feel she can finally let go when her daughter is taken care of. Characters seem to practice a Christian faith. Manny exploits an opportunity to live the high life for a few days, but also helps his new friends. Leo is a faithful assistant and friend. Amy is ultimately proud of her son for doing the right thing, even if it was bad for her business.

Joseph's mom says his one skill is getting women to do what he wants. He interacts awkwardly with a woman in his hotel room bed one morning, and he admits he has no intention of calling or seeing her again. He breaks up with another girl, whose bikini-clad photo pops up on his phone, in a voicemail. Connor repeatedly hits on Callie. Callie and Joseph check out each other's bodies. He's topless in several scenes. They kiss several times. In a more intimate scene, they undress from the waist up and presumably have sex, though we only see them lying on top of each other kissing.
