Hilary wakes up to the sound of the radio station, where it is being informed that the
lucky winners of their weekly holiday giveaway to Mexico are going to be announced soon.
Hilary hurriedly calls the station to enter her name in the giveaway, and she gets a call
in between from her fiancé, Jason, who still wonders why Hilary is excited to win the trip
to Mexico.
Between their call, Hilary gets another call from her mother, who is expecting Jason and
Hilary for the thanksgiving weekend.
Jason is still not sure if he would make it to Hilary’s home for thanksgiving, but Hilary
pleads for him to come, as she believes everyone would think that she made up a fake boyfriend,
if Jason won’t be there.
Jason agrees to her request.
Hilary, along with her close friend Sophie, is heading to interview a cell phone company
that has shut down.
Sophie isn’t interested that much, but Hilary thinks that it would be the right news to
break for the newspaper company they work for.
They come across a sign-spinner who they believe was an employee of the cell phone company.
The man takes off his mask and says that he is not an employee of the firm but an actor.
Hilary receives a call from her firm and is informed, that the company she works for has
gone bankrupt and is shutting down.
Jason goes to dinner with Hilary, and he isn’t bothered in the slightest that Hilary doesn’t
have a job anymore.
He appears a bit rude to Hilary when it comes to her profession.
When Hilary asks him if he ever reads her submissions in the newspaper, Jason hesitantly
answers yes.
Jason lets her know that she doesn’t need a job, especially when they are about to be
getting married.
Jason happens to be one of the best lawyers in town, and when he tells Hilary that he
is being promoted to Pittsburg, she gets a little uneasy with it.
Hilary asks what he would be doing in Pittsburg when she won’t have a job, family or friends
there, to which Jason romantically replies that she would be his wife in that city.
Hilary is bothered by the fact that Jason is always distracted by his work.
Before she could go to sleep, Jason invites Hilary to lunch tomorrow.
The next afternoon, Hilary is heartbroken when Jason says that they should break up.
Jason wants to be with someone that would support him in achieving even greater things
in his field.
Hilary is upset as she had always supported Jason.
Hilary sits down with Sophie and laments the fact, that her mother would now spend the
entire holiday telling her that she was right about Jason leaving her.
Hilary says that she can’t show up at her home without a fiancé.
While the chat continues between the two of them, the radio station announces that Hilary
has won the weekly holiday giveaway contest, and would be receiving two first-class tickets
to Mexico.
Hilary is not excited by the announcement as she is still wondering how she would be
confronting her family without a fiancé.
Sophie informs her about a platform where Hilary could find several men, that could
pretend to be her fiancé for the time she would be staying for thanksgiving at her home.
initially hesitant to use the platform, Hilary goes along with Sophie’s plan and records
a video about how she needs a man, who would pretend to be her fiancé in front of her
family.
In exchange, the man would get those two tickets to Mexico.
The next morning, Sophie and Hilary are baffled to see just how many men have reached out
to be Hilary’s fake fiancé.
They go through several potential possibilities, but none of them matches the quality and personality
of Jason.
At one point, Sophie comes across a striking young man who she takes a liking to instantly.
They receive another potential candidate for this weird job, and the man turns out to be
the sign-spinner they met a few days ago.
His name is David, who is an aspiring actor.
He informs that he lost his job and just like both of them, he also has nothing to do.
He tells them the reason he wants to be Hilary’s fake fiancé is that, if he can’t pull off
being someone’s fake fiancé, then he might consider leaving this profession for good.
Sophie and Hilary accept him for this job, and tells him that they would be looking more
into David, to ensure that David is clean of any suspicious or weird activities in the
past.
Hilary and Sophie arrive at the coffee shop where they are supposed to meet David.
Sophie informs Hilary that she has looked into David’s profile on the internet and
he seems like a perfectly normal guy to her.
It turns out that David is working in the coffee shop.
Hilary lets David know that he would be pretending to be a corporate lawyer.
When Hilary finds out that David drives a relatively old car, she decides that they
would use her car to travel to her home, in order to avoid any embarrassment.
Hilary tells him to send her request on Facebook, so that he could memorize the name of Hilary’s
parents and sisters.
David agrees and is excited for what’s about to come.
Hilary picks David up and is impressed to see him prepared with a nice look and a new
haircut.
On their way, David goes through the names of Hilary’s entire family.
David asks Hilary for how long she dated Jason and the reason for their breakup.
Hilary says that she dated Jason for seven months and was engaged for about two months.
She explains that Jason was under a lot of pressure because of his profession, which
ultimately became the reason for their breakup.
Both of them arrive at Hilary’s home and her mother, Meredith, finally gets to meet
fake Jason.
Meredith has invited non-family guests as she wants everyone to know that Hilary isn’t
single anymore.
Hilary meets her younger sister, Trisha, who isn’t shy about boasting the new property
she and her husband have bought.
David seems to be avoiding any conversation with Hilary’s father, Roy, that is related
to law, as he has no idea about how that field works.
Meredith gathers everyone so that Hilary can reveal her engagement ring.
As no one is aware of the reality, everyone is surprised to see that Hilary isn’t wearing
an engagement ring.
Hilary can’t come up with an excuse, which leads to David intervening, and making up
a story about how Hilary lost some weight and the ring wouldn’t fit her anymore, which
is why they have given the engagement ring to be resized.
Hilary then goes outside with her youngest sister, Joy, and while talking to her, Hilary
at one point accidentally mistakes Jason for David.
For the entirety of time, David has been getting frustrated with joy’s fiancé, Peter, because
of his podiatrist conversation.
Hilary returns inside and Meredith gathers every family member for family photos.
Hilary and David are nervous and they hesitantly have to show up in the photos.
When it’s time for bed, Hilary asks her mother if she and David can have separate
rooms.
Her mother doesn’t see the need for a separate room as both Hilary and David are a couple,
but Meredith has no idea that David is pretending to be Jason.
However, Hilary relaxes that there would be separate beds for both of them.
When she goes to her father to ask if he could spare an extra pajama for David, his father
asks if Hilary actually loves Jason and is ready to get married soon.
Hilary overhears David talking with some woman on the phone.
She hears David say that he plans on going to Mexico with the woman he’s on phone with.
The next morning, Hilary talks about how Trisha never had to worry about job, as her husband
is highly affluent.
Hilary also griefs over how she doesn’t have a job anymore.
Meredith assures her that she doesn’t need a job, as she has Jason to cover up her expenses.
David is helping Roy in deep frying a turkey for thanksgiving dinner.
Meredith shares how heartbroken she was when she found out that Trisha had eloped, as she
always wanted to plan her daughters’ weddings.
Before she could get more upset and gloomier, Hilary sets a date for her marriage in order
to keep her mother’s spirits up.
Hilary informs Sophie about how she had made a mistake by giving a wedding date to her
mother.
Sophie tells her to relax as Hilary is strong enough to handle the situation.
Just when David thought he could avoid any more law-related conversations, Roy wants
to hire David as his lawyer, as he believes that a person should acquire a lawyer that’s
from inside the family.
The plan of deep frying a turkey turns into a big mess, and the family has no other option
than to go out for dinner in a local restaurant.
Trisha arrives at the restaurant and brags about how her husband could have arranged
a fancy restaurant for all of them.
when one of the waiters arrives to take the family’s order, he recognizes David as one
of his old friends.
He and David chat for a few moments and Meredith is confused as to why the waiter is calling
Jason by the name of David.
To avoid suspicion, David says that ‘David’ is his middle name.
David goes on about how he doesn’t like golf that much, but Meredith is confused because
Jason absolutely loves golf and Hilary met Jason at a golf event.
Hilary breaks into the conversation and says that Jason actually loves to joke around.
Hilary scolds David for almost ruining everything by talking to the waiter, and almost revealing
their secret.
David says that he worked with that waiter years ago and was just catching up to him.
Meredith arrives and David thanks her for the dinner.
Before they could go to sleep, Hilary apologizes to David for being rude, and asks him the
reason for him wanting the tickets to Mexico so bad.
David explains that he met his ex-girlfriend at a resort in Mexico, and he hopes to go
there again with her, so that they can reconcile their relationship.
David says that he also gets bothered by the fact that his ex-girlfriend calls him, when
she breaks up with her real boyfriend.
Hilary laughs when she hears that David was just with his girlfriend for about five weeks.
Hilary lets him know that his ex-girlfriend is using him to get back to her real boyfriend.
David says that he’s confident that there’s a connection between him and his ex-girlfriend.
While they are having late-night snacks, David lets Hilary know that he is the owner of the
dog Hilary saved and wrote an article on.
David wakes up in the middle of the night and finds Meredith decorating the house for
Christmas.
David offers his help to her and learns that, Meredith used to do this after every thanksgiving
when her daughters used to be kids, and they would believe that elves might have decorated
the entire house when they were asleep.
Even though her daughters have grown up, Meredith has been doing this act ever since.
Meredith, who still is unaware that David is not Jason, thanks him for taking good care
of and loving Hilary.
Not wanting to give any negative vibes, David goes with the flow and says that he is glad
to.
The next day, Meredith proposes that Hilary, and David should go with her and pick the
right wedding dress for Hilary.
David suggests that he should stay, but after learning that Roy wants to talk law-related
stuff with him, David quickly changes his mind and decides to go with them.
Hilary picks out a beautiful dress for herself.
Meredith asks her the reason for not being that romantic around Jason.
When they were just about to purchase the dress, a silly woman, who had been disturbing
all three of them all along in the store, tries to snatch Hilary’s dress for herself,
but David gets control of the situation soon.
When David learns that Hilary has set up a wedding date, he gets annoyed at her for taking
things way too far.
Meredith has brought a priest from the church who would be performing the wedding between
Hilary and David.
To not make things any more awkward, both of them decide to have a chat with the priest
to make Meredith happy.
The priest goes about how the wedding would be carried out.
The priest asks if David is baptized or not.
When David answers that he’s a Jew, the priest gets confused as to why Hilary is marrying
a Jew.
Hilary says that David is converting and would be getting baptized.
The priest gets elated by this news.
David lets Hilary know that he won’t be getting baptized, and Hilary has stretched
this whole thing to a large degree.
Hilary agrees with David as she believes that she is making her mother happy, only to set
her up to be disappointed again.
Hilary says that David has completed this weird task and is handed the tickets to Mexico.
David bids Farewell to Hilary and gets sad when he leaves for good.
Before she could go to bed, Hilary finds joy with another guy.
Hilary confronts her and joy explains that the guy she was with used to be her boyfriend
in the past, but Meredith disapproved of him and set her up with Peter.
She further says that she doesn’t intend to marry Peter.
After hearing that, Hilary reveals the secret that she has been hiding the entire weekend.
Joy tells her that David was cute.
The next morning, Hilary tries to explain her actions to Meredith.
Before she could reveal that the guy she was with was David and not Jason, Meredith says
that she’s aware that Jason left her last night.
Meredith still doesn’t know what Hilary has been hiding all along.
As the conversation progress, David comes back, thanks joy, and apologizes to Hilary
for breaking up with her.
Both, Hilary and David, make out to make Meredith happy.
Hilary asks David why he hasn’t left for Mexico.
David says that his ex-girlfriend wanted to use his tickets to leave with someone else.
Hilary feels bad for David.
Trisha tells Hilary that she has to keep ahold of Jason because he is a man, and a man can
experience a change in behavior at anytime.
Trisha explains that her husband would have left her early on if she hadn’t impressed
him and been by his side.
David goes to meet his ex-girlfriend who is excited to go to Mexico with her real boyfriend.
David is embarrassed and ashamed of giving away his tickets.
Hilary arrives and pretends to be David’s fiancé in front of his ex-girlfriend.
She makes out with David in front of the woman to make her more jealous.
To make things worse for her, Hilary lets her know that David and she have planned on
not giving away their tickets to Mexico.
David is happy that Hilary stepped up for him.
He jokes about how they can continue to pretend to be a couple in front of her parents.
David tries to sing a song for the occasion.
Hilary joins him and they both sing a beautiful song for the family.
Much to her surprise, the real Jason arrives and tells Hilary that he has turned down his
promotion and wants to be with her again.
Meredith is upset that Hilary lied to her during the holidays.
Seeing Hilary happy with Jason, David decides to leave.
Meredith suggests him the same, but before David could leave, he asks Meredith if she
ever cared about Hilary’s articles, and ever asked Hilary what she actually wanted
to do.
Jason is still involved with his work and still doesn’t pay much attention to Hilary.
Hilary sits down with her father, and he asks her if she actually loved Jason and preferred
David over Jason.
He advises her to follow her heart.
Meredith reads Hilary’s articles and cries knowing that she avoided her work for so long.
Hilary resolves her relationship problems with her mother.
Meredith also advises her to follow her heart and she would be having her complete support.
Hilary steals Jason’s car to find David.
