Like Cats & Dogs

Mac, the owner of a coffee shop that also serves food, and Magda, the owner of a rival French-style pâtisserie, have been feuding for over a decade. The feud is legendary in their small town of Pine Hollow, and it’s what lands both of them on a reality show spinoff called The Great American Cake-Off: Archrivals Edition. But Magda has no idea of the spinoff’ concept change or that Mac will be there as her archrival. Mac’s presence throws her off, and it shows in her baking. Mac hates being there as Magda’s rival, and he’s sick of their feud. As the filming progresses, contestants begin to band together against their rivals, and Magda and Mac realize that they bake best together—at least when they’re not fighting. Their temporary truce could even turn into true love. This “Pine Hollow” series finale, after Four Weddings and a Puppy, adds realism to the romance. The arguments between Mac and Magda are truly spectacular, with witty comebacks and misunderstandings. The baking show is likewise believable, showing not only the on-screen edit but the drama, stress, and panic behind the scenes.
