Summary
Rafael Barba takes over the Benson kitchen to give Noah his first authentic Cuban Nochebuena, complete with a lesson on the Reyes Magos. While Olivia watches her two favorite men bond over mojo and Spanglish stories, a slip of the tongue—a whispered "mi amor"—reveals the truth about her and Rafael's relationship. From the garlic-scented chaos of the kitchen to the midnight magic of Three Kings Day, the trio transforms from a secret couple into a solid, beautiful family unit. It’s a New York winter where the best cases are the ones where love is the only evidence needed.
