"I guess I'll take the free house, SIGH" is a classic lament of the First Act Hallmark Heroine, given that the free house is usually out in either A Sweaty Cowboy-Strewn Tumbleweed Landscape or The Twinkly Midwest, either of which is classified in these terms as tantamount to entering witness protection.Ħ. and has come into ownership of her parents' small-town house. Kristin moves Emily to - wait for it - Silver Falls, Ohio (Christmassy name: check!) because she has run out of options in L.A.
