When these Dear Friend pen pals finally decide to meet, Georg discovers what's going on, but he doesn't let Amalia in on the secret for two whole weeks, during which time he has a bit of fun at her expense. As he tries wooing her in person, she starts to warm up to him, but when Amalia finally invites both versions of him to have dinner with her family on Christmas Eve, he's forced to give up his ruse.
