november 21, 2021 ( 6 months after ) - at the chase-jackson house, filming on location

"THAT'S A WRAP!" yelled greta. it was nearing 9:30pm, so the crew hastily bustled around the chase-jackson house where they were shooting on location and began to clear up.

after changing into more comfortable clothing, the actors went around as well, trying to pack things as quickly as possible since a snow storm seemed to be brewing outside.

"i'm stuffed," complained haley to joe who was packing a bunch of camera equipment for one of the crew members, frankie.

"if the body is eighty percent water, then the other twenty percent of me is probably turkey and pie." he called back.

earlier that day, the whole cast gathered in the large house to shoot a christmas dinner scene, which was actually a really important part in the film. it was where greta (as paris' mom) would break the news about haley's supposed pregnancy. which is why from noon onwards, the whole cast rehearsed everything they'd eat, and yet, needed multiple takes to fully satisfy the director.

"greta?" james mclean asked. he was on set to help supervise things at the house. "you can't go out there. it's snowing hard. it isn't gonna let up soon, and it takes an hour to get back to the hotel."

haley pulled aside a curtain. james was right, the snow was coming down so hard she could barely see anything.

"here's what we can do: i live just a few blocks away, so if you'd like, some of the cast or crew could come with me and stay in the guest house." suggested james.

"or we could all just stay here?" great asked, watching as kristen began to lay down on a nearby sofa.

"or you could stay here." he agreed, before leaving.

since they've stayed overnight at the house before, there were already a couple of mattresses on standby. kristen began hauling one down from the storage room while bradley and cate each retreated to separate nearby couches.

"get some rest everybody, don't mind me i'm just gonna take a piss," announced greta, heading to the nearest bathroom.

some the crew members headed down to the basement where there was a home theater. some of the cast— the older ones like john and meryl— were in the guest rooms, but most of them were just there on the main floor, lying idly in the dim glow of the light.

lily and hoyeon shared a mattress, both trying to sleep. kristen and mckenna shared one too, scrolling through tiktok videos together and occasionally bursting into laughter.

haley lay on a mattress with joe, their backs turned to each other. his eyes were shut, and as he was trying to sleep, haley was reading a book and occasionally scrolling on social media.
