♪♪

It was October 31, 1818.

In those days, Middleton and
Blairsville lived in harmony.

That was all about to change.

Patience Merriwick's hand was promised

to Roderick Davenport.
Upon their exchanging of vows,

the most prominent family in each town

would be forever joined.
But Patience's heart

belonged to someone else. William Spry.

William worked in the mines.
It was there he unearthed

a ruby like no other.
Some say it held a magic inside.

They would need every ounce
of that magic after their secret

was discovered by Roderick's family...

That night at Grey House,

William was conscripted into the war,

his hasty departure cleverly
orchestrated by the Davenports.

William vowed to return
before Patience's wedding day.

He promised, no matter
where he was in the world,

the ruby would lead his heart
back to hers.

Patience's father was worried
she would sneak out

to try and find William,
so he confined her

to Grey House... or so he thought.

One year later, on All Hallows' Eve,

the night before her wedding to Roderick,

Patience was waiting for William
to come back for her...

and then she vanished.

Neither Patience or William
were ever seen again.

Roderick and his family
never got over the slight,

causing a rift between
Blairsville and Middleton

that exists to this day.

No one knows for sure
how Patience made her way out

of Grey House. Some say
it was the power of the ruby,

some say it was the power of true love.

William wrote these letters to Patience,

but they stopped when she vanished.

Some say he never made his way to her

- and others say...
- That they were reunited.

And she left the ruby behind
to allow true love

to blossom in Middleton
every Halloween since.

And you've finished that story
for me ever since you were 8.

I can't help it. I just love it so much.

Wow...

That really is the Heart of Middleton.

I saw a picture once,
but it didn't do it justice.

Some say a picture
is worth a thousand words,

but sometimes the real thing
can leave you speechless.

I'm Cassie Nightingale.
Welcome to Grey House.

- You must be Karen Alexander.
- The one and only.

I was on the museum curator
hiring committee

and your resume was very impressive.

Especially your internship at the Louvre.

Paris changed my life.

- May I?
- Oh, sure.

This ruby's been in my family
for 200 years.

And I've been in her family
for 18 of those.

- I'm Grace.
- Grace is my daughter.

- Spectacular.
- I've been called worse.

What? Sorry, I'm always doing that.

Sometimes I'm better with objects

- than I am with people.
- You clearly love your work.

I hope I find something
that I love that much.

I know what I'd love. A cup of coffee

and a piece of Martha's pumpkin pie.

Halloween can't come soon enough.

I wish she'd bake that pie
more than once a year.

Well, there are pumpkin scones

in the dining room if that helps.

I think I could
force myself to eat a couple.

- (DOORBELL CHIMES)
- After I answer the door.

Uh, shall we?

You're gonna love it in Middleton.

You picked the best time of year
to be here.

I kind of feel like
Middleton picked me...

or at least, the museum committee did.

You're welcome to stay at Grey House

until you find a place to call home.

Great, because I'm gonna be
putting all my energy

into the history of Halloween
exhibit at the museum...

the Cotton Perriwood prophecy,
the gargoyles,

the infinity brick, not to mention

the most important thing,
how to properly display

- this glorious ruby.
- You really did your homework.

Middleton is a fascinating place.

And I love that you're having
a black tie gala

- on Halloween Eve.
- Oh, yes! Well,

it's a masquerade black tie gala

celebrating the 200th anniversary

of the rivalry between
Middleton and Blairsville.

Abigail just texted
pictures of the flowers.

Are those for the gala?

For my mom's wedding. She's
getting married the next day.

How exciting!

It is exciting,
though true love is tested

when you're trying to find
a cake that you both like.

I know the cake I'd pick.
I saw it at a cafe in Paris.

I adore Paris. And I adore this place!

I'm Addison Brubaker.

Cassie Nightingale.
Welcome to Grey House.

I'm so glad to be staying here
while I visit my Edward.

I hope my room is ready because
I have to make myself amazing.

Sam?

What's wrong?

So, I just got off the phone with Barry.

There's a problem at Cypress Villa.

The chairs didn't arrive?

Oh no, the chairs got there.
Just in time for the flood.

- Sam! No!
- The whole place is under

- three feet of water.
- No wedding?

No, not unless we use snorkels.

This is my favorite time of year.

I don't want it to feel this way.

I don't either.

Let's not give up.

We'll find the perfect place.

I would never give up

- and I love how you do that.
- Do what?

Find the best in everything.

It's easy to do

when you're marrying
the man of your dreams.

Let's just go to city hall.

It's not fair to our guests... or us.

Stressing out trying to find
a place last minute

is not how I want
to remember our wedding.

I can't believe
we're gonna have to wait...

- Again.
- At least we have

the black tie gala
this weekend at the museum.

- You still wanna go?
- I do. You?

I do.

I now pronounce us man and date.

You may now kiss your plus one.

Let's take the pedestal up
about six inches.

Oh! I don't know how it's possible,

but that ruby gets more stunning
every year.

They do say things get better with age.

Well, you and I are living proof of that.

(LAUGHING) Oh, dear! I can see

you're not quite our Cassie today.

- I'll be fine.
- Fine? Oh no, no, no, no.

That will not do. You live in Middleton

and Middleton lives for Halloween.

So, wedding or not, you will be
transported, transfixed,

dare I say, transformed
from the beautiful bride

you would've been into the belle
of the Halloween ball...

or gala in this case.

- Thanks, Martha.
- Believe me, you'll be

thoroughly distracted
once you're deep in the trenches

helping us to defeat Blairsville

in our Halloween harvest
festival brouhaha.

I thought the Heart
of Middleton was supposed

to inspire romance, not competition.

And it most certainly does.
Oodles and oodles of couples

- are married because of the ruby.
- It works on couples,

not necessarily rival towns.

Well... Our Halloween feud
has reached legendary status.

It's gone viral, as kids say,
which is why, this year,

a victory is crucial.
Of course, we haven't lost

- in the last 20 years.
- Thank you.

I appreciate your calling. See you soon.

Ronnie Sue Campbell will be judging

the best pumpkin pie contest
at the black tie gala.

The chef from Baking with Ronnie?

- I love that show.
- Everybody loves that show

and everybody's gonna love me

- for bringing her to Middleton.
- Oh! How quickly they forget!

I was the one who put in
countless calls and emails

to Ronnie Sue about coming
to Middleton while you were off

- "galavanting" about town.
- If you're talking about Phil,

that's over and I'm fully
committed to my duties as mayor.

Just so you know, I was the mayor

until a small snafu
with the town's boundary lines

made me a citizen of Blairsville

and I was rudely removed from office.

You were asked nicely
to hand over your gavel.

Even so, no one bangs
a gavel quite like you.

Thank you, Cassie! You always know

exactly the right thing to say.

Oh! No, no, no! You cannot
put a doom and gloom prophecy

next to the source
of true love in Middleton.

I need you to trust me, Mrs. Tinsdale.

I care about the Heart as much as you do.

How about we all give Karen
some space and give her

- some time to work her magic?
- Absolutely.

It's nice to see someone
working as hard as I do.

Martha worked pretty hard

getting the Halloween
festivities up and running.

I'm sure you can
appreciate that, Abigail.

I appreciate how easy
it's gonna be for me

to get re-elected after the gala
is a smashing success.

- So... Thank you, Martha.
- You've been mayor

for all of what, two minutes
and you're already talking

- about re-election?
- I like to plan ahead.

Uh... Well.

(CLEARS THROAT)

Have a great day!

- Oh, hey!
- Hey!

- How you holding up?
- I'm actually okay.

Maybe this happened

because Sam and I need
to be focused on the gala.

Well, here is some organic
iced strawberry green tea.

I'm guessing this is to soften the blow

that you couldn't stop
the wedding food delivery.

The truck literally arrived
as I hung up with you.

I tried, but they wouldn't take it back.

I'm gonna need a few more of these.
I'll write you a check.

I just... I feel horrible.

At least, let me make you and Sam dinner.

The leftovers would last a year.

- Looks good. I'll have one.
- Hello to you too.

I come with good news...
for the both of you.

Does your news involve taking
150 lobster tails off my hands?

As a matter of fact, the caterer

for the museum gala accidentally
double-booked the night.

The city will buy all your wedding food

and consider hiring your caterer.

- Do you have any references?
- Do you have any idea

how much I'm going to charge you
since it's so last minute?

I'm willing to pay a premium if
you can turn a fancy wedding feast

into a Halloween themed affair.

- You're kidding, right?
- I don't do that.

And I don't do themed food

- with two days' notice.
- You don't or you can't?

You want me to admit I can't, fine.

But good luck finding someone who can.

I think she already has.

I've seen you make
400 cupcakes in two hours

for the high school homecoming.
If anyone can do this,

you can.

Looks like I'm turning filet
mignon into ghoulish grill.

Thank you.

♪♪

Okay...

What's wrong?

With wanting to get
some exercise? Nothing.

You haven't shot baskets,
in like, forever.

- I've been busy.
- Well...

- You can go back to work.
- Dr. Holland's covering for me.

Next couple days were supposed to be

the final push before the wedding.

- Kinda hard to adjust?
- I'm more worried about Cassie.

Well... Cassie's not

the one playing basketball
in the middle of the day.

You know, it's like
when you spend all your time

studying for a test... When it's over,

then you don't really know what to do.

Well, I wouldn't know,
I never study for tests, so...

I know, I've seen your grades.

But... Have you seen my...
double clutch reverse layup?

(LAUGHING) Hey...

Thanks.

Let's see if you're still thanking
me after I beat you one on one.

(QUIET CHATTERING)

Oh, my gosh! This place is so adorable!

- And what's that smell?
- I'm diffusing wild orange

- and cinnamon essential oils.
- Absolutely love it.

- Eddie, we should get some.
- Yeah, I mean...

If... if you love it,
I can learn to love it too.

- You're the best.
- Looking for something special?

I've already found it.

She loves jewelry.

- Well... Is there an occasion?
- Maybe... There could be.

Wow! Edward, look at this.

This is beautiful!

- It just came from an estate sale.
- What's this say?

Uh... "Mon coeur est

pour toujours à toi."
- My heart is forever yours.

It's totally meant to be...
What's that word?

Kismet?

No, it's like fate or something.

It's definitely something. Yeah, we'll...

- We'll... we'll take it.
- Oh! Thank you, Eddie!

- Hey! You busy?
- Very.

- You're surfing for shoes?
- And eating a scone.

- Multitasking is exhausting.
- I'm sure.

But... Seriously?

There's a whole plate of them inside.

What's up? You seem kinda down.

I feel bad for my mom.

I mean, you know
how she is about Halloween.

A wedding this time of year
was gonna be perfect.

It can still be perfect.
It's just postponed.

Kind of like when you get
rained out in baseball.

You're such a guy.

- And...?
- And... why are you here?

Come with me.
It's more of a visual thing.

But you have to close your eyes.

What? What is happening?

- Keep them closed.
- They are.

- You ready?
- I'm opening my eyes.

What...

You decorated your house?

- Cool, right?
- Really cool!

You did all this?

- It's no biggie.
- Who are you?

You have never cared
about Halloween before.

I know how much it means to your mom.

I thought this would make her happy

whenever she sees it

Look at you acting like
part of the family.

I can do the family thing.

♪♪

- This feels kind of ironic.
- I've never heard

- of an ironic pumpkin patch.
- Us taking a walk.

We've been so busy
planning our lives together

we haven't seen much
of each other lately.

Now that you mention it,

- I've kind of missed you.
- I'm not surprised,

- I'm pretty great company.
- Let me clarify.

I've missed you, not your sense of humor.

(LAUGHING)
- Ouch. I've missed you too.

That's strange.

Gotta be honest, not the
reaction I was looking for.

Not you, the pumpkin. It's heart-shaped.

Oh! Martha's calling.

- I didn't hear anything.
- (PHONE RINGING)

Hi, Martha!

What? Woah, slow down.

- We'll be right there.
- What happened?

The Heart of Middleton was stolen.

This is disastrous!
The festival is in two days.

The Heart of our beloved Middleton

could not have disappeared
at a worse time of year.

There was no sign of a break in.

Could've been an inside job.

Meaning the thief had a key.
It narrows down the suspects.

Unfortunately, it doesn't.
We have security cameras

at the front and back entrances
and no one used a key

- to get in or out.
- Oh my, it sounds like we have

- a real mystery on our hands.
- “We?” I'm the mayor.

I'm the one who's gonna get blamed here.

The Heart of Middleton
was stolen on my watch.

If anyone should be blamed...

The only person who should be blamed
is the one who actually took it.

Well, they should be
ashamed of themselves.

This will undoubtedly affect all of us!

I shudder to think Cupid's arrow

will not be shooting straight
this Halloween.

Please don't start
spreading those rumors.

I'm sorry, are you calling me
the town gossip?

No, because technically
you don't live in town anymore.

- (GASPS)
- Just because your house

is in Blairsville, doesn't mean your home

- isn't in Middleton.
- Thank you, Cassie.

I appreciate that. But I'm not so sure!

- Morning!
- Hey!

Now, I'm sure that you've heard

about the Halloween
Harvest Festival competition

between Middleton and Blairsville, right?

You mean that thing
that happens every four years

for bragging rights?
Yeah, that's pretty ridiculous.

First of all, it's not ridiculous,

it's tradition, and second of all,

I signed you up for the scariest
scarecrow competition.

You did what? Why can't you do that?

Because I already signed up
for the face painting.

And I have seen your decorating skills.

You should do it, pal.
Show some town pride.

Yeah, that's not really my thing.

- Sounds like a yes to me.
- Thanks, Nick.

- Wait, what just happened?
- Good morning!

- Can I help you find something?
- I'm in the mood

- for a café noisette.
- Oooh!

I have no idea what that is,
but it sounds exotic.

It's an espresso with a dash of hot milk.

We don't have an espresso machine,

but we can do the hot milk part.

- How about some tea?
- That we've got.

Good morning! Fresh cut herbs

in case anyone wants some
with their eggs.

- Oh, I do.
- Okay. Nick, I saw

your Halloween decorations.
They're incredible. Thank you!

How do you know I didn't do it?

Doesn't take a psychic
to figure that one out.

I went to a psychic once.
She told me the love of my life

was a dermatologist.
She was way off. The next day,

- I met Eddie.
- We have to be careful

- about our expectations.
- You see? If you stop expecting

so much from me, then you
wouldn't get disappointed.

Well, I'm expecting this to be

the most romantic weekend of my life.

Let's hope that it still can be

with the Heart of Middleton gone.

Even without the ruby,
we still have to believe

that true love is out there.

- I'll get that.
- (KNOCKING)

Hello, Edward! Addison's in the kitchen.

- Actually, I'm right here.
- Hey!

You ready?

I thought we'd take a romantic stroll.

There's a wishing well in Middleton Park.

- I have a hunch you know my wish.
- Um... Actually,

I made a reservation
for a haunted hayride.

Oh! You know I have hay fever, don't you?

Yeah, um...

The town square
is decorated for Halloween.

It's really a great walk
this time of year

- and also a good compromise.
- Works for me.

- As long as we're together.
- Sometimes that's all it takes.

- Wow!
- I know.

What do you think?

I think... that Blairsville

is probably taking this a lot
more seriously than you are.

What? You signed me up without asking.

- What did you expect?
- I expected it to be more...

- like this.
- I did that for your mom

because I know how important
Halloween is to her.

Halloween is important to all of us.

Grace! Don't you think Middleton takes

the whole Halloween thing
just a little too far?

Not when our town pride is on the line.

Never mind. You don't have to do it.

I just... I thought that maybe

you would want to do more as a family.

But I guess that we're not
really family yet, so...

Wait. Are you trying
to guilt me into this?

Yes. Is it working?

Unfortunately.

(SIGHS)
- Great. I mean...

Thank you! You've got this.

- Hey!
- Hey.

- What have you got there?
- This is one of the letters

discovered with the Heart
of Middleton 200 years ago.

Patience Merriwick's true love,
William Spry,

wrote this for her.

"My beloved Patience,

"as darkness falls
in this cold and bitter sea,

"thoughts of you are like the warm sun.

"Time and distance cannot
separate our hearts,

but only strengthen
our yearning for one another."

Wow! That William
definitely had a way with words.

Okay! So, I'm very sad
about your wedding.

But... as my favorite cousin
Cassie likes to say,

everything happens for a reason
and I need your help.

- With what?
- Boosting my approval rating

by defeating Blairsville in
the Halloween Harvest Festival.

I can't be the first mayor
to lose to them in 20 years.

Not really the end of the world

if we don't win
a pumpkin carving contest.

It's not just a pumpkin carving.

If we don't win, you're right,
it's not the end of the world.

Just the end of my bright
and promising future

- as a politician.
- (LAUGHING)

It might help us take our minds off

postponing the wedding.

- I couldn't agree more.
- Bet you carve a mean pumpkin.

(SIGHS)

- Let's do this.
- Great.

Oh my!

What a absolutely delightful array.

- Oh, dear, you look troubled.
- Is it that obvious?

I just... I don't know
how I'm supposed to re-purpose

all this wedding food
for the Halloween gala.

And then, Abigail blows
through here like a tornado,

almost destroying everything in her path,

not to mention her unreasonable demands.

I... I just feel
completely unappreciated.

Oh, please.
You're preaching to the choir.

There's nothing like
pouring your heart and soul

into the people of Middleton
and then having it trampled upon

by the new regime. (SIGHS)

Food, glorious food.
One of life's great comforts.

It's probably why my pumpkin pie recipe

is so coveted at this time of year.

Be sure to make your presentation visual

so it blends seamlessly with the decor.

There I go again, trying to be helpful.

I suppose it's just who I am.

You know, Martha...

Since you have planned
some of the most fabulous

and beloved events
this town has ever known,

maybe you could help me out
with all this.

You know that sentiment
is much appreciated,

but I have dilly-dallied here
for far too long,

so if you'll excuse me, I think it's time

that I take my rightful place
in this world.

Okay.

That is so gross.

Well, if you can't handle pumpkin guts,

you're gonna have
a tough time being a surgeon.

When did you know
that you wanted to be a doctor?

I always knew I wanted to help people.

Somehow making them feel better
made me feel better.

But I didn't really know

I wanted to be a doctor
until after college.

- Really?
- Really.

I'm not sure what I want to do.

You don't have to have
your whole life planned out.

Wouldn't be much fun if you did.

I just... I wanna be really great
at something. Like you are.

You know how I got to be that way?

Making mistakes. A lot of them.

Well...

Maybe people would make
fewer mistakes if they had

the right teacher?

You know who the best teacher
in the world is?

Failure. So...

find something you love and fail
till you're great at it.

You should give Nick the same advice.

Yup! But Nick doesn't listen
to anything I say.

So, maybe you can be
a good influence on him.

Well... he is going to be
my younger brother,

so... I can straighten him out.

Here's team Blairsville.

This seems a little intense

for a harvest festival rules meeting.

Wait until the actual harvest festival.

People, I need your game faces.

Wait, we can't start, Martha's not here.

That's because... I'm over here.

You're supposed to be on this side.

Dear Grace, I realized
that Abigail was right.

I am a citizen of Blairsville now.

Since their illustrious mayor
just so happens

to be out of town, the good people

of this lovely community
have appointed me

- their Grand Marshal.
- You've got to be kidding me.

Au contraire. Blairsville does not kid

when it comes to competition.
So, without further delay,

may the best town win.

Wait, we didn't even go over the rules!

- Hey, you!
- Hey!

Hey, you look familiar. Have we met?

Oh, I have to stop you, I have a fiancé.

Oh! That's so weird, I do too.

- I was hoping to have lunch with mine.
- I'm sure she would love that.

She won't love
that I have to go get my tux,

buy some shoes... Oh!
And finish carving a pumpkin

because she got me involved
in this fall harvest

- town vs town battle royale.
- If it helps,

- she appreciates it.
- And we thought we'd get

to spend more time together now
that the wedding was postponed.

- We have the gala.
- I'll be the one in the tux.

Hi! You must be the new museum curator.

- News travels fast around here.
- Oh, you have no idea.

It's a shame about the ruby.

Hopefully our police
will be able to track it down.

Just in case, I've been rearranging

the entire Halloween museum exhibit.

Been at it non-stop.

Well, in that case,
how about a coffee on the house?

- You're a life saver.
- (LAUGHING)

- Rough day?
- Not as romantic as I hoped.

It's not surprising

With the Heart of Middleton missing,

you're not the only one feeling it.

Do you really think
the ruby has that much power?

My Eddie Bear definitely
has been a little distant.

I can't explain it, but the more time

we spend together,
the less we seem to get along.

I think losing the ruby heart

has caused Middleton to lose its heart.

- Hey, Sam!
- Hey!

Didn't expect to see you here.

Abigail is full of surprises.
You should be used to that by now.

That'd take away all the fun.

- How's it going, Doc?
- I'm hanging in there.

You sure you don't want a second opinion?

How about some help

- picking out flowers?
- Sure thing. What's the occasion?

Something to brighten
a beautiful lady's day.

Well, Cassie's never met
a flower she didn't love,

so how about a nice bouquet?

Sounds like you know
what you're talking about.

Not really. Let me see what I can do.

- Hey, Edward. Good to see you.
- Hey, Doc! You too.

Listen, uh...

I'm sorry to hear about
your wedding being postponed.

Oh... Yeah, me too.

Listen, do you mind if I ask
your opinion on something?

I promise it's not medical related.

Well, then I'm probably useless to you.

But sure, shoot.

How did you know that Cassie was...
you know, the one?

Um... After I met her, I just...

couldn't imagine
living my life without her.

Here you go.

Yeah, uh...

They're not really gonna brighten up

anyone's day, are they?

♪♪

Order, order!

As mayor, I'd like to commence
this emergency town hall meeting

by asking you all to remain calm.

How? Martha's defected.

We don't need Martha.

We may need her more than she thinks.

All we need to do is win
3 out of 5 festival events.

And we've still got
our ace in the hole...

- Martha's pumpkin pie recipe.
- Which, I'll have you know,

is sitting comfortably
in the Mayor's rolodex.

This rolodex.
Grace, would you do the honors?

It's probably under the letter P.

That's where I'm looking...

There's nothing here but a note,
on Martha's letterhead.

Well, don't keep us in suspense.
What does it say?

- “Let the games begin.”
- (ALL EXCLAIMING)

Believe it or not, there are moments

where I almost feel sorry for Middleton.

- Why's that, Mrs. Tinsdale?
- In the last 24 hours,

they've lost me
and my pumpkin pie recipe.

Perhaps we should put
the recipe in the archives,

- make sure it doesn't get...
- Uh-uh-uh. All in good time.

My first order of business
is to make sure

that my fellow Blairs... villains

are training properly
for the upcoming events.

We prefer “Blairsvillers”.
It's a little friendlier.

- Oh!
- And may I say,

with the mayor being
out of town, recruiting you

for team Blairsville was a huge win.

We've never had a Halloween captain.

I apologise. A Grand Marshal.

Hmmm. Oh! Well...

That scarecrow doesn't
look scary, it looks scared.

- (WHISTLE BLOWS)
- Come on, people!

Up the scare factor! Oh! Oh...

At last, the pumpkin tossing.

Blairsville's strongest suit.

It was raining, but we didn't care.

We walked for hours, holding hands.

We shared one perfect kiss

on the Pont Neuf bridge at sunrise.

We had a napkin from the café
that he wrote his number on.

I thought the rain was so romantic,

but by the time I got home,
it'd turned to lint.

I understand Patience's longing

to be reunited with her one true love.

Waiting can be painful,

but also worth it.

I believe the ruby led
his heart back to hers.

I just need you to do
one last thing for me:

tell me how the story ends.

What story?

Patience and William's.

How did you know
there was another letter?

Let's just call it women's intuition.

It was hidden in a jewelry box
I bought at an auction.

It was written
from Patience to her family,

telling them that William had returned

and they were running off
to spend their lives together.

But she left the ruby behind...

So her heart would always
remain in Middleton.

It's why I came here.

I guess I thought

the ruby would work its magic for me.

The man from Paris?

I'm gonna call it a night.

Well, there's still time
for a little magic.

I think I'm over that idea.

(GASPING)
- Ohhh...

- Let me help you.
- I'll get some soda water

- and clean it in the bathroom.
- OK.

OK, well, can you at least tell me

when you can send another taxi?

OK, call me back.

Sounds like you might have
some time on your hands.

Cassie...

Come inside, join the party.

I... I have a flight to catch.

- Oh. Where are you going?
- Paris.

I had a feeling.

(CELLPHONE CHIME)

Oh, come on. Two hours for another cab?

Looks like Paris will have to wait.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Wow! Great party!

- It only gets better.
- Yeah?

♪♪

Hey.

I waited for you to call.

The rain washed away your number.

Hello, Martha.

The wishing well brought back
lots of memories, Cassie,

but then you knew that it would.

You always know...

that's what makes Middleton, Middleton.

When I think about
makes Middleton, Middleton,

- I think of you.
- Me?

You are the heart of Middleton.

Cassie Nightingale, I don't think

even Tom has ever paid me
so great a compliment.

But I'm afraid that your fellow
citizens don't all share

your views.

I will be persona non grata the moment

that Blairsville is declared
winner of the Harvest Festival.

Don't you think you're getting
a little ahead of yourself?

Cassie, the truth is

my actions were unbecoming.

Absconding with my recipe
in Middleton's time of need...

Unless...

their time of need is now.

You know, you're right!

(BAND PLAYING SMOOTH JAZZ)

(APPLAUSE)

Hello, everyone!

Looks delicious. Nice to meet you.

- I am a big fan.
- Oh! Oh! Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you as well.

Time is running out!

My pie is so close to Martha's...

What's different?

I don't know. The crust is perfect,

the filling is perfect.
It has to be her topping.

It's just too complex,
I can't recreate it.

Not with that attitude,
you can't. We have four minutes,

- figure it out.
- Excuse me! Step aside,

thank you. Coming through!

Martha?

Shouldn't you be with Team Blairsville?

I'm afraid that my time there
is about to come

to a crashing halt.

You see, the pie that I entered
on their behalf may not be,

shall we say, my best work.

You threw the pie contest?

I never intended to.

But in the end, I just
couldn't hurt Middleton.

I may have omitted the final touch

that takes a pie from merely good

to transcendent. It's my secret topping

- that I sprinkle...
- Kind of in a time crunch here.

We're gonna need the recipe
for that topping.

Please.

Very well, Abigail.
Since you begged me...

Stephanie, ask the bartender
for some fresh ginger root.

Grace, I need brown sugar
from the kitchen.

And Madam Mayor, I need sea salt,

- stat. Go, go, go!
- You heard the woman, go!

(MAN OVER INTERCOM): Pumpkin pie judging

That's two minutes.

- Could we speed it up?
- Excuse me, do you think

they rushed Michelangelo,
Da Vinci, Julia Child?

You're not painting the Sistine Chapel,

you're making a topping.

OK, it's good, but
it's still missing something.

Of course it is. The secret
ingredient to my secret topping.

Grace, be a dear and get

the small shaker jar from my purse.

You keep a secret spice in your purse?

Congratulations.

Thank you so much for doing this.

You're welcome.

Can I introduce you to someone?

- Of course.
- Ronnie Sue, meet

Middleton's massively talented,
Stephanie Borden.

She's the person responsible
for tonight's spread.

- It's an honour, Ms. Borden.
- No, the honour is all mine.

- I'm a huge fan.

Would you mind if I took some photos

of your delicious presentation

You wanna put my food on your blog?

Oh, there you are.

I was getting worried.
You missed all the fun.

Oh, I don't know if I missed all the fun.
