- Previously on Good Witch... - Who are you talking to?

Noah. He's visiting his mom in New York. I missed you.

- I missed you too. - Noah!

I always hear about places with small town charm,

but this place actually has it, and... I've decided

that this would be the perfect place

to put my company's headquarters.

So that means you'd be living in Middleton?

- Yeah! - I'm gonna love you

as if each day was the only one we had. I wrote down

when I wanted our wedding day to be.

That's less than three weeks away.

We better get to work.

- Good morning. - Hello.

- What's all this? - Different things Sam and I

need to decide on before the wedding.

Stephanie dropped some cakes by for us to try,

and I am listening to a band that Sam wants to hire

- for the reception. - I can't believe you're putting

together an entire wedding in less than three weeks.

- Well, when you're ready to get married, the answer is: why wait?

I suppose you're gonna ask me to do the flowers?

Actually, we were gonna hire someone else

- and let you have the day off. - Oh.

Just kidding. Of course we want you to do them.

Well, because you want people to be impressed.

- Right? - Right. Good morning, Phil.

- Morning. - Hey.

I heard you and Abigail come in last night.

Well, I told him he didn't have to walk me

- all the way home, but... - Well, you were already home.

All I did was walk you to your room, which is right above mine, so it wasn't that far of a walk.

Well, it's still sweet of you to make sure she got there.

- Do you want some breakfast? - Oh, no.

Thank you. I have to get to City Hall.

- Oh. - He's rezoning the old mill

because he wants to move his company's headquarters here.

Well, I hope things turn out the way you want them to.

Thank you. May I drop you at the shop on my way?

Absolutely.

- Hey, Phil. - Morning.

Oh, Abigail. I'm glad I caught you. I was wondering...

Sorry, Sam. That's my ride.

I was hoping to talk with her about doing the flowers

- for the wedding. - I already did,

- and she is. - Hmm.

Great. Oh, how'd you like the band?

Oh, sign them up. And...

Stephanie brought by these cakes.

- This one is my favourite. - Hmm.

Oh, that is good.

So this wedding is actually coming together.

Piece of cake.

You know, I think we should get our invitations out

- before the end of the week. - Yeah. I will try to finish

- my list of people to invite. - OK. I'll do mine too.

Then, all I have to do is find the right dress to wear.

You could wear jeans and a t-shirt and still be

- the most beautiful bride ever. - I'm not wearing jeans and a t-shirt.

Can I wear jeans and a t-shirt?

No.

I'm glad I asked you then, before I showed up on the day.

Fordham University in New York?

Yeah. They're offering me a full ride.

The coach even wants Noah to start practicing

before he's officially enrolled.

- When are you gonna move there? - As soon as we graduate.

This is really great, Noah.

Congratulations.

What's great? And congratulations about what?

Noah got accepted at Fordham, to play baseball there.

Oh! Well, that is great.

You know, when you're starting

for the White Sox someday, I'm gonna want tickets

- along the third baseline. - White Sox?

- No. My son's gonna be a Yankee. - Well, then...

he's gonna lose to Chicago.

We'll see.

What is your very favourite thing that I make?

I like the butterscotch milkshake.

Well, then I'll bring one of those on the house.

Thanks, Stephanie.

Have you told Grace you're gonna be going to school in New York?

Not yet.

Where are the colleges she's thinking about?

Nowhere near New York.

When are you gonna tell her the news?

Soon as I figure out what to say.

- Hey, Mom. - Hi, honey.

Grandpa, what are you doing?

I'm trying to get this drawer open.

It's just stuck.

You should try to open it, Grace.

I've already given it quite a pull.

Well, maybe it needs a special touch.

I can give it a try.

- Oh! - Oh! Whoa!

I must have loosened it for you.

That's probably it.

There's something inside.

It's an envelope.

How long do you think it's been back there?

Well, that's hard to tell. That desk has been here

- since I moved in. - It might have been there

since Grey House was built.

"My dearest father and mother..."

It's signed "Elizabeth."

Merriwick?

It looks like it.

"By the time you read this letter, I will have fled

to pursue a lifetime with my one and only love."

Oh, she must have written that before she ran off

to marry Andrew Wymark.

Her father didn't approve, so they had to elope.

It says here that they planned

a wedding at Grey House.

Oh, I didn't know they were gonna have the ceremony here.

And she already had her dress made. Look, it describes it right there.

"I mostly regret

"that I shall never wear the gown that was crafted

"so carefully for me.

"I only hope the Netherton family

"is as joyed to see their daughter Fiona

"walk the aisle as I longed

for you to see me."

So she gave her wedding dress away?

To Fiona Netherton.

What do you think happened to it?

I guess we'll have to ask Fiona Netherton.

George, that would have been almost 100 years ago.

But... she had to have done something with her dress

- after she got married. - That's true.

I wonder if anyone ever wore it after that.

Synced & corrected by -robtor- www.addic7ed.com

What are you hoping to find in here?

I wanna find out who married Fiona Netherton

so I can track down their descendants.

That information should be in the census records,

and they're in the last filing cabinet there, on the right.

- OK. - But that's if you know the

- year she was married exactly. - I don't.

Well then, that's gonna make this a bit of a hunt.

So...

How goes the wedding planning?

Oh, really well so far.

You know, they do say that the days leading up to a wedding

can be one of the most stressful times in any relationship.

Well, it hasn't been for me and Sam.

Oh. No conflict at all?

Well, we both seem to want the same things.

Tom and I could hardly agree on anything about our wedding,

including who we wanted to be there.

Oh. Well, we haven't decided on exactly who we want there,

but I'm pretty sure Sam and I can get on the same page.

- Hmm. - What is all this stuff?

Oh, in there? That's mostly newspaper clippings.

Anything pertaining to population, increases

and adjustments, you know. Birth announcements, funeral notices.

- And wedding photos. - But you know, if we don't know

the exact year, then I still don't know how you're gonna

- find what you're looking for. - Well, I know

- about when the wedding happened. - Aboutwhen?

Cassie, that means we could be searching through who knows

how many clippings before we find...

I found it.

What?! Oh!

- Look at that dress. - It really is beautiful.

"Fiona Netherton married Jonathan Powell

last week in a ceremony at the Botanical Gardens."

So Fiona Netherton became Fiona Powell.

Well, that's something to go on at least.

Yeah, it's a start.

You know, that dress would look gorgeous on you.

It would be perfect, wouldn't it?

If I can only figure out where it is...

- Abigail. - Hello.

Hi. Where are you heading?

I'm just on my way to Grey House.

Oh, that works out. I'm going that way too.

How did it go at City Hall?

Oh... not so good.

I filled out form after form.

Then, they told me there's a backlog, so I won't hear

about my rezoning request until my application gets to the top

- of some huge pile. - How long is that gonna take?

They said it could be months!

I was really hoping to get things moving before then.

You know, sometimes in Middleton, things move

a lot faster than you'd think.

So I'm just supposed to wait around for something

- magical to happen? - That's one way of putting it.

You know, I don't always know exactly what you're saying,

but I sure love watching you say it.

Well, keep watching just in case things

get even more interesting.

Are you inviting any of the old gang from New York?

Yeah, I might. It'd be nice to see Gavin and Pat again.

Do they know that you're gonna be taking the plunge?

I don't know. I'll send 'em an invite, see if they can make it.

- Did you guys enjoy lunch? - I did...

- 'cause he paid. - Oh. Thanks.

Hey, did you tell Cassie the news about Noah?

Oh. Noah got accepted into Fordham.

- Oh, that's great! - Yeah. They want him there

to start practicing as soon as he can get there.

Which is sooner than you thought he'd be leaving.

Yeah... I thought I'd have

at least until the end of summer,

but he's going to be moving as soon as he graduates now.

- And he hasn't told Grace yet. - How do you know that for sure?

She would have told me right away.

It's gonna be hard on both of them.

Yeah, it is.

Well, I better get back to work.

- OK. - What's that?

Oh, it's a new piece by James Cavell.

- Oh. I like it. - Since when are you

- into sculptures? - Since I saw this

and said I like it.

There's an exhibit going on at the Daverson Gallery

- at the old train station. - Maybe I'll check it out.

- Yeah. I gotta go too. Bye. - OK. Bye.

See you.

Noah! What are you doing here?

There's something we need to talk about.

OK.

- Agnes! - Cassie, yes.

- Come in. - Thank you.

Thank you so much for letting me come over.

Well, I've been in your shop a few times and you were always

so helpful to me in there.

Walter, this is Cassie Nightingale.

Yes, Agnes told me you were gonna drop by.

- Yes, thank you. - You wanted to know something

- about my mother's wedding dress? - I was wondering if you knew

- what happened to it. - Well, you can see

- for yourself. - I can?

Mm-hmm.

That's me, 62 years ago.

Oh, wow. You looked beautiful.

And you can see how happy I was.

Wow, that dress seems so delicate.

Mm-hmm, I thought so too,

but they made things to last in those days.

I danced up a storm and didn't break a stitch.

- Oh. - The initials "E.M."

were sewn into the back of the collar.

My mother told me that was her friend.

Elizabeth Merriwick. She was a relative of mine.

There's also a pocket inside

where I put the love letter Walter wrote me

the night before we wed.

We both did that so we could

take them out and read them to each other

- on our first anniversary. - What a beautiful thing to do.

Do you still have the dress?

No. Our daughter-in-law

bought a dress of her own,

so I passed that on to our granddaughter

when she got married. I figured something that nice

shouldn't be packed away in a box.

Do you think she still has it?

I don't know.

Well, I would love to get in touch with her and find out.

I'll write down exactly where you can find her.

- Thanks. - Yeah, I remember

on that day thinking...

I could never love that woman any more than I did right then.

But then the next day,

I loved her even more.

And the next day after that.

62 years' worth of days and...

each one stronger than the day before.

Thanks.

When would you have to leave?

The day after we graduate.

So they must really want you... bad.

They do, yeah.

So you're going.

Yes, but...

you're still gonna be in Middleton.

I haven't decided where I'm going to be yet

and... they've got

this thing called technology now.

You mean you don't have to be in the same room as somebody

to have a conversation with them and see their face?

It's amazing.

We'll make it work.

And I really am happy for you.

Have you seen any of his work?

Uh, I'm not really an art expert.

Ah, well you are gonna love it.

- Stephanie. - Liam! This is Paul.

- Hi. - Hi.

I didn't know you were a James Cavell fan.

Well, I just recently became one,

- but I really like his stuff. - Ah, I can't wait to see it!

Well, have fun. Nice to meet you.

- Yeah, you too. - Bye!

- Madam Mayor? - Oh, Abigail! Come in.

Jared said you were working, but...

Well, you know what? I could use a break.

I've been signing so many documents, I feel like

my arm is going to fall off. Everything from zoning permits

to variance requests

to... you know what, I don't even know what this is.

It looks like it could take a long time to get through

- every single one of those. - Well, yes.

The wheels of justice turn slowly; ditto city government.

- What is it you wanted? - Oh, it's nothing important.

Have you been stuck in here all day?

Uh-huh, and probably will be for part of the night as well.

You should open the windows,

let some fresh air in here.

You know, that's a very good idea.

I sometimes forget that these things actually open

to the outside world.

OH! Oh! Oh, no! Oh! Ah! Oh!

That'll teach me to try to think beyond

the confines of this office.

I can put these in order for you.

I don't even know what order they were in. You know what?

Whatever. I'll just make a new pile

and work my way down.

Wait a minute.

Who's trying to rezone the old mill?

Well, if somebody wants to do something

with that dilapidated old thing,

the sooner the better.

Do you want me to take that out to Jared

so he can send it on to the right department?

- Would you? - Mm-hmm.

Thank you. One less thing I have to think about.

And things will move a lot faster that way.

Oh.

Well, the invitations won't go out for a few days,

but you should still probably save the date.

If you want me at your wedding, I'll be there.

And there'll be a lot of healthy food there, so you

- can eat whatever you want. - Sounds even better.

Have a good day.

- What? - Nothing.

No, that's your be-careful- what-you're-getting-into look.

You're going to be setting a precedent

if you start inviting your patients.

Tim is not just a patient. He's my accountant.

I'm just saying if you invite one patient,

people are going to expect you to invite them all.

I think I can manage to keep the numbers reasonable.

- Cassie. - Hi.

We were just talking about the guest list for your wedding.

- How is yours coming? - You know, I've added a few

names to the list, and I am getting close

to finding Elizabeth Merriwick's dress.

Ah. Did you talk to that woman you thought might have it?

I did. She gave it to her granddaughter who works

at a music store and I'm going there this afternoon.

- Think you might find it there? - Well, I'm gonna keep looking

- until I do. - I didn't know you'd have to go

to so much trouble just to find the perfect dress.

It's gonna be worth it. You'll see.

It's gonna be weird not having you around anymore.

Yeah. It seems like just yesterday I moved to Middleton

- and we didn't get along at all. - The good old days.

- Yeah. - Here you are.

- Hi. - OK.

So, I printed out some dates over the summer that we

might want to think about visiting each other.

The blue is you coming here and the red is me going to New York.

Actually, it's maroon, which is

Fordham's school colour.

This is great. Thanks. Oh, we have to circle one more weekend.

There's an exhibition game in the spring

and they want me to come down and play for it.

Oh, then I will be there to watch. When is it?

- The second Saturday of May. - The second Saturday...

- Oh. - Is that not gonna work?

No. No, it's perfect. I'll be there.

I can't believe the paperwork for the rezoning got signed

so fast. How do you think that happened?

I don't know. Sometimes things just breeze right through.

Do you think City Council will approve my bid?

Phil... you're the only person that wants this place.

They'll rubber stamp it without even thinking about it.

I hope so...

'cause I could get used to being here for a long time.

Feeling good for the duet? I'll see you next week.

Can I help you?

Uh, yes. Are you Rachel Monroe?

- I am. - I am Cassie Nightingale.

I was at your grandparents' house yesterday.

Grandma said you might be stopping by.

They showed me a picture of your grandma in the dress

- she wore at her wedding. - Oh!

Didn't she look beautiful in that? I mean, that's the reason

I wanted to wear it when I got married.

Aw. Well, it was made for a relative of mine,

- Elizabeth Merriwick. - Her initials

- were sewn into the collar. - That's right.

And I was wondering... do you still have it?

I don't.

I got so many compliments about it

on our wedding day, and my husband's cousin

begged me if she could wear it, and back then we didn't have

a lot of money, so we decided that dress

would be our gift to her.

- That's very nice. - You know, if you give me your

info, I can have my husband's cousin get in touch with you.

- Yeah, that would be great. - When are you getting married?

In a couple of weeks.

I remember our wedding day.

We filled the church

with everyone who had ever been important in our lives.

My husband even invited his first grade teacher.

Mine was Mrs. Clippen.

You never forget.

I will pass this along and tell her what you're looking for.

Thank you.

You sound very angelic.

Thanks.

- How long will you be gone for? - Just a few days. The zoning

got approved so quickly, I need to put a bunch of things

in motion. Get the Portland offices thinking about the move

- sooner rather than later. - Well, before you go...

I got something for you.

I was dropping flowers off at Cassie's shop and I saw that

and it made me think of you.

"Hidden Treasures of the Pacific Northwest."

It's full of hidden architectural gems in the area.

Did you know the architect who designed the Columbia River Bridge

put an outline of a rose in the concrete moorings?

That was his wife's name.

Artists have different ways of signing their work.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

I'll be back before you know it.

I'll know it.

Come back soon, OK?

I will.

Oh, I'm so looking forward to hearing this author talk!

What books of his have you read?

Uh, all of them.

I didn't know he was in town though until I saw his poster

- in Cassie's shop. - Hmm.

- Yeah. Liam! Hi. - Stephanie!

And it's Paul, right?

- Yeah. Yeah, hi. - Good to see you.

So, which of you is the Christopher Riley fan?

- That would be her. - Oh. Yeah.

Ah. Well, I never thought I'd get so into historical fiction,

but his World War II trilogy made me a believer.

Well, have you seen him speak before?

- Twice. - Oh. Well, it's my first time.

Oh, you're gonna love him.

- OK, folks. Come on in! - Oh. Well, I'll see you inside.

- OK. Yeah. - Yeah.

How goes the hunt for that dress?

I feel like I'm getting closer.

The music teacher gave me the name of her husband's cousin,

but I found out that she gave the dress to a friend.

I didn't realize wedding dresses got passed around

- so much. - This one did

because it was special, and all the women who wore it

- wanted it to be shared. - Hmm.

- Who was the last one to have it? - Uh, Karen Zarish was the name

I was given, but her friend lost track of her

just after she got married, so I'm gonna go

to the last known address where she lived tomorrow.

Huh. You know what? I've got a light day.

- Why don't we go together? - Ooh, it's bad luck

for the groom to see the wedding dress before the wedding.

I thought that was just about seeing the bride in it.

- You can never be too careful. - I'll look the other way.

- OK. - Plus, it'll give us time

- to go over the guest list. - Oh, I should warn you,

I've added a few names to mine.

Yeah, mine too. Turns out

people actually like me and wanna see me pledge my life

- to the woman I love. - You shouldn't be so nice,

'cause then you wouldn't have this problem.

Yeah, I should rethink my whole personality.

- Stephanie? - Oh! Hi, Grace.

Don't you just love this place?

I was just at a book reading and thought I'd pop in

to see if they had anything new on my way home.

You looking for something special?

No. I was just gonna see if they could sell this dress

that I bought for prom.

- Why are you selling your prom dress? - Because Noah and I

were supposed to go together, but he has a game that weekend

in New York and I promised him that I would go watch him play.

You're already thinking that far ahead?

Yeah. Things are moving faster than I thought.

- Hi. Can I help you? - Do you sell

- dresses on consignment? - We sure do.

OK, then I would like to consign this.

- Is that the right word? - It is.

Oh, this is gorgeous.

- Thanks. - I'm sure it'll

- sell in no time. - It really is beautiful.

I bet it looked good on you.

Yeah. It did.

- Here you go. - Oh, thank you.

Abigail! I'm glad you're here.

Another bid just came in for the old mill

that your boyfriend is trying to purchase.

We're already calling Phil Abigail's boyfriend?

Well, what am I supposed to call him? Her... man pal?

I didn't know anyone else was even interested in the mill.

Well, no one was until it got rezoned so quickly.

And by law, the city is required to consider all bids.

- Well, who's the other bidder? - Oh, some out-of-town investors

who want to repurpose it for mixed use. You know, shops

- and theatres and condominiums. - But Phil already submitted

a proposal to make it office space!

Well, I don't care what people do with it as long as the city

gets paid, which is why I intend to call Phil to see if he wants

to resubmit a higher bid before the City Council meets

to consider all the offers.

You don't have to call him about that.

Are you sure?

The other bidders seem very determined.

It's just I don't... things have been going so smoothly,

I wouldn't want Phil to think there was anything complicated

- about buying the mill. - Well, I don't know

why anyone would want to buy a haunted old mill anyway.

Well, that's just some silly story.

Then how do you explain what happened to me?

What happened?

Well, one night back in high school, I was there

with some friends and... we saw them.

The tulips growing in a heart shape

just like the legend says.

Tulips growing inside the mill?

In the very spot where that lady is said to have laid down

every night waiting for her husband to return.

- Hmm. - I don't care what anyone does

with that place. I am never stepping foot in there again.

Fine. Then I guess I'll just have one less customer.

Your sandwich is up, Noah.

Here you go, with extra avocado

to help power your swing.

- Avocados do that? - They are full of healthy fats

to bulk you up. Now, I'm gonna get

a little credit for every home run you hit.

I'll make sure they mark that in the stats.

We're gonna miss seeing you around here.

Oh, I'm not going anywhere for a while.

I know, but it still seems a little too soon.

Grace told me about the exhibition game you're going to.

She told you about that?

Yeah, I ran into her down at the consignment shop

when she was trying to sell her prom dress.

Guess the dance is the same night, so...

What? She won't be going?

Well, it seems she'd rather be with you instead.

You know what?

I am gonna get you some carrot cake too.

It's good for your eyes, so you don't lose sight

of all those high fly balls in the lights.

Thanks.

Are you sure this is the right address?

It's the one I was given.

Well, nobody's living here now.

Can I help you find something?

Hi. Yeah, we were looking for somebody that we thought

- might live here. - Karen Zarish.

Mrs. Zarish. I remember her. She and her husband owned

the house that was there when I was a kid, but they moved

- after the fire. - Oh, there was a fire?

It was pretty scary. They just barely

made it out but lost everything.

- Oh. - Everything?

That lot's been vacant ever since the Zarishes moved away,

until about two months ago.

Do you know where they moved to?

Sorry, we just barely knew them.

- Well, thanks. - What kind of flowers

- are those? - Cyclamens.

They're a beautiful colour.

As you can see, the potential of the space

is virtually unlimited. Now, it would make

a wonderful destination for dining and entertainment,

especially for someone who had the foresight

- to buy a condominium here. - Do you know

- who the original designer was? - Actually, I don't,

but there are architectural surprises around every corner.

Has she told you

about the ghost?

This mill comes with its very own restless spirit.

Nobody told us that this structure would be haunted.

Oh, well that's just an old wives' tale.

It's the tale of an angry and rejected wife.

They say that when her spirit is strongest,

white tulips grow in the very spot where she died

as a symbol of her eternal grief.

Well, we don't need to concern ourselves

with myths and legends.

Now, the next thing I want to show you is a space that could

serve as a courtyard. And so it's just up here,

if you'll follow me through this room.

As you can see on your left,

they've preserved some of the original mill machinery

that adds to the rustic feel of the room,

and leads directly to the...

tulips.

Wow. You'd have to check

the story, but I'm pretty sure

that this is the exact spot

where she laid down every night

waiting for her husband to return.

I don't know about you, but I wouldn't want to live

in a haunted mill. And I can't imagine anyone

would want to buy a condo here either.

Hey, when you moved here from New York,

weren't you kind of dating a girl?

Janine. Yeah.

Well, whatever happened with you and her?

Well, we... we tried to keep things going,

but then it just kind of fizzled out.

Why?

It wasn't fair to her.

I was here in this new place,

and I didn't want to stop her

from living her life, so...

we just flipped things back to us being friends.

Hmm.

I hope you're gonna throw it harder than that

- when you're at Fordham. - Of course I will...

because I'll be throwing at somebody who can actually catch.

Oh, OK. OK.

Are you doing OK?

Yeah, I'll be all right.

I know how much you wanted that dress.

- I'll find something to wear. - Hmm.

But I did find some other things that I want.

I loved the colour of the flowers we saw today

for our wedding, the cyclamens.

Hmm.

And...

I would like a harpist to play.

And I learned about this great idea where we write each other

letters the night before we get married

and we read them on our first anniversary.

I love that. All of that.

And it doesn't matter what I end up wearing,

because everyone's gonna be looking

at the good-looking groom standing next to me.

Where are you gonna find him?

Oh, wait. That's me.

Here you go.

- Oh, good morning. - Well, it was

before Martha called. Those people who wanted to buy

the mill, they changed their minds when they thought

- it might be haunted. - Oh, does that mean Phil

- is gonna get it for sure? - No. They decided they still

wanna buy it, but now they wanna tear it down and build

luxury townhomes. I thought when they saw the tulips I planted,

- they'd give up and go running. - You planted tulips?

Is that what I said?

Uh, yeah. Exactly that.

Well, it was in memory of that poor woman

who haunts the place. Now, no one's gonna remember her at all.

Doesn't the city council

still have to approve which bid to accept?

Yes, but the other offer is higher than Phil's,

and it's too late to submit a new one.

- Good morning. - Yeah, whatever.

So I woke up this morning and realized I'm all out of eggs.

- Oh. - And bread and coffee...

Well, I have all that around here somewhere.

Good. I did manage to add another page

- to my guest list though. - Another whole page?

Yeah. That thing's like the Blob, it just keeps growing.

Yeah, mine's starting to look kind of Blob-like too.

Is that really how we want our wedding to be,

with so many people there that we hardly have time

- to connect with any of them? - Well, maybe we should start over.

Just write down the people that we're sure

- we want there. - Yeah, then we can compare

- our lists when we're done. - Yeah. Hey, you made waffles!

Good. I'm out of those too.

So, how far is New York from Middleton?

921 miles.

OK, so that's not so far.

I mean, if I had a car that went 900 miles per hour.

You know, Grace...

you don't have to put your life on hold for me.

I'm not putting my life on hold.

You already decided not to go to the prom.

How did you know that?

It's a small town. Everybody talks.

Yeah, I mean, I... I just decided.

I mean, if you're not going to be here,

then who am I gonna go with?

You could go with a group of friends, or...

I don't know. Somebody.

But I wanted to go with you.

And I want you to go.

Yeah.

I... guess I could do that.

Good.

You know, Grace...

things are gonna change.

Eventually.

I know.

Just not right now. OK?

OK.

Where are you going?

You know, I still haven't been able to get you

- all the way around. - That is because that's

- never going to happen. - And that sounds like

a challenge.

- It's not gonna happen. - Let me try again.

- No, no, no! - That was a bad one.

Just give me a push.

Very well, then. The motion passes.

The Middleton seal will be changed ever so slightly

to more accurately reflect our history. Let it be so.

Now, onto the next order of business, voting to decide

which bid to approve for the old mill.

- Madam Mayor. - Abigail?

This is a closed meeting.

Have you approved the bid for the mill yet?

- We were just about to. - Well, I think you're gonna

- wanna hear what I have to say. - Well, I guess I could go

against protocol since I'm the one that makes it up.

Come with me. Take five.

Now, what is it that is so urgent

that it just couldn't wait?

Well, I went back to the mill to dig up the tulips

- that I planted... - You planted those?!

OK, I might have done a little bit of gardening.

But that's not the reason that I'm here.

I was in the mill, looking around,

sad that they were tearing it down,

and I saw something that I hadn't seen before.

- The mill woman's ghost? - No. Something better.

- A bird carving? - The same bird carving that

Franklin Potts used to hide in all the buildings he designed.

I thought Franklin Potts only designed buildings

on the West Coast, very famous buildings.

I guess he designed one in Middleton too.

Well, if a renowned architect like Franklin Potts designed

the old mill, then that would make it an historic landmark.

Which is something you can't tear down...

so I guess the city would have to accept the only bid

that proposed to leave the exterior intact.

And that would be Phil Sturgess' plan...

Is it? Hmm.

Well, it looks like it's a good day for him then.

We have to stop meeting like this.

Yes.

You know, you forget how small Middleton is

until you go out and see the same people

- over and over again. - Right.

- Are you here with Paul? - Oh, no.

We hung out a couple of times,

but we didn't really connect.

He would definitely not be interested

in seeing someone play the classical guitar.

- Well, then that's his loss. - Yeah.

Oh, thank you.

So, should I save you a seat?

Oh, uh...

- Are you ready to go inside? - Just about.

- Stephanie, this is Krista. - Oh.

- Uh, hello. - Hi.

- Would you like something to drink? - No, thanks.

- OK. I'll take one. Thanks. - Ahem.

- It was nice to meet you. - You too.

- Enjoy. - OK.

Phil.

- You're back. - Yeah.

Um...

I have some big news.

I kind of have some news too.

- You won the bid. - I what?

For the mill.

You can put your company headquarters there.

Oh. I wasn't sure that was

- gonna get approved so quickly. - Well...

things just kind of happen in Middleton.

Yeah, but, um...

I found a place

in, uh... Portland.

A place for what?

For my company's headquarters.

I didn't know you were even looking.

I wasn't... really, but I found this campus

that's just perfect. I mean, it's laid out

in exactly the way I want my company to grow,

and Portland already has the infrastructure of talent

for me to staff things up.

But you said you really liked Middleton.

I did. I mean, I... I do.

But this is what's best for my company, so...

So you're gonna be leaving.

Tomorrow morning.

I'm... I'm sorry, Abigail.

I know we kind of had something started here, but...

I have investors to think about

- and people who work for me. - Of course.

But I like you... a lot.

But you have to do what's best for your company.

Right.

OK then.

OK. Um...

Thank you for everything, and if you're ever in Portland...

I probably won't be.

Do you wanna start?

No. You go.

- OK. I have Nick first. - And Grace.

And then Liam, Abigail and Stephanie.

Yeah, they were next on my list.

- OK. And Eve, Martha and Tom. - All right.

- And Brandon, Tara and Laurie. - Yeah, I have them too.

And then I put down Olympia and your foster mom.

I have your sister and your parents.

And... we wrote down all the same people.

Oh! Look at that.

So we can send out invitations tomorrow.

We can, now that we're on exactly the same page.

Grace, hey. Did you and Noah have a good time

- at the park? - I guess.

You know, I'm gonna get going.

Just make sure we have all the contact information we need, OK?

- OK. See you soon. - Bye.

Well, what's going on?

Nothing.

I mean, Noah and I just started talking

about how things were gonna be after we graduate.

And how are they gonna be?

I don't know.

Well, you've still got the rest of your senior year.

Yeah...

and he said that he wants me to still go to the prom

- with some of my friends. - Oh, yeah, you should.

- That'll be fun. - Yeah, if I can

find a dress like the one I already got rid of.

- What? - Oh, I took the one

that I had bought to that new store to have it sold.

Oh. Hmm. Well, we should go there together

and see if we can find it.

You think it'll still be there?

I think we'll find things we both like.

Yeah.

OK.

Oh, hello. You're back again.

Hi. Yes, I am, and I'm hoping

that you still have that dress that I brought you.

I'm pretty sure I do,

although I don't remember exactly where I hung it.

If it is in here, I will find it.

- OK. - Thank you.

OK. Well, let's look.

Now, why don't you look in here?

- I'll look in the back. - Mm-hmm. OK.

Oh, yes!

- Mom? - Mm-hmm?

I think I found something.
