(bells jingling)
- Cassie?

Cass?

How did this...?
- Magic.

- Magic? You mean--

- I discovered a trove
of antique and vintage
magician's props.

The price was right and
I thought it was perfect
for this time of year.

Besides, who doesn't love
a front row seat for
a Halloween magic show?

- But didn't this shipment
just arrive?

I mean, how did you...

One day you're gonna
stop surprising me.

- You'll never stop surprising
me with how handsome you look
in this uniform.

- Well, I thought you might be
closing up. You want
a ride home?

- I would love that. I just need
a few more minutes to close up.

- And I made reservations
for next Thursday

at the Manor,
so keep it open.

- Why? Is it a special occasion?
- It's October 24th.

It's your birthday.

- You know, Jake,

I was thinking maybe we could do
something different this year.

- Like what? The Manor's
a great restaurant.

- I mean like a party.
Think about it, Jake,
this might be the last time

that we can get our whole family
together, with Lori applying
to study abroad next year.

- Yeah. I guess Brandon
is not gonna launch a music
career from Middleton.

What happened?

When did my kids
become grown-ups?

- Moving around so much,

I never had the chance to get
my whole family in one place,

and that's what I want
for my birthday next week.

My husband, my children,

and everyone else I love,
in one place,

to celebrate our family
before we all head off
in different directions.

- Okay. Sounds good.

- I just hope it all
comes together.

(laughter)

- The relief troops are here.

- Thank you so much
for babysitting today.
I was really in a bind.

- I just love to see
her sweet little face.

- How was the honeymoon?
- The chalet you sent us to
was just perfect.

(phone ringing)

- Not again.

It's not worth picking up.
He'll get the idea.

- I had hoped that we could
throw your party at Grey House,

but some guests reserved
the room online last week.

- Well, with our bed
and breakfast full,

will you still be able
to make it to my party?
- Sure.

We just have to let them in,
it won't take any time.

- Oh, and of course, please
let us know if you need us
to help in any way.

- I really appreciate it.

Actually, would you be able
to help out tomorrow? I've got
a lot of cleaning to do

to get the house ready
for my party on Thursday.

- Our Saturday
got pretty packed,

but we could try to--
- No, I don't want you
to go to any trouble.

- I might know a babysitter.

- That would be great.
Thank you again,

and as always, make yourselves
right at home.

Although, I didn't get a chance
to do any grocery shopping
for the last few days.

- Don't worry about us.
We'll go to the diner.

- Great.

Okay, bye, sweetie.

Mommy will see you later.
Thank you.

- Why don't we have Cassie's
party at my rental cottage?

- That's a great idea.

Is it available?

- I've got some people
interested, but I'll just
tell them it's booked.

A family party.

I haven't had one
of those in years.

Not since he left.

- So, what made you choose
Middleton for your wedding?

- Business, actually.

Drew has got a big
business deal in the works.

- Ooh! You know, I could swear

that I've seen you before.
- Mrs. Tinsdale,

your husband was
my t-ball coach.

- Oh. Who are your parents?

- Uh, well, if you don't mind,
I haven't seen my mother

and I'd rather not have her find
out that I'm here through
the rumour mill.

We haven't spoken
in quite some time.
- Enough said.

When you hire Martha Tinsdale,
you hire discrétion.

(chuckling)
(sniffing)

I am so sorry

about the odour. The store
next door had a... leak,

of something that
I'd rather not discuss.

They did clean it up, but the
smell still lingers. Especially
in this miserable heat.

- We have to keep this
short anyway.

It's all a bit...
stifling.

- Thank you.

Alright then, let's dive
right in, shall we?

Now, I'd like to start
by asking you both about
your shared vision.

- Well, Helen is the one
with the vision,

and if it makes her happy,
I'm happy to pay for it.

- I just want
everything

to be perfect.
- And you deserve it.

Which is why I'm thinking
that what wedding needs

is a horse-drawn carriage.

- I have been dreaming about
that since I was four years old.

- You know, I am going
to leave the details up
to you lovely ladies.

I wonder if you can
start immediately

and I will pay you
the balance next week?

- Of course!

- So I thought we could start
with the first dance.

I'd like to make it really
memorable. What are your ideas?

- One word.

Fireworks.
Let's start things off

with a bang.
- This is going to be
so much fun!

(giggling)

You think we should have

French or Italian for lunch?

- I feel more like Thai.
- Too spicy.

Let's do French.
- French it is then.

Huh... Those look authentic.

Not reproductions.

- Would you like
to take a closer look?

(magical tinkling sound)

- Yeah.

- Over 100 years old

and still a complete set.

They once belonged
to Erich Weiss himself.

- Houdini?

- They always seem to find
their way into the right hands.

- Wow. They're pristine.

- Drew used to have a thing
for magic tricks,

but he's just way too busy
for hobbies anymore.

- Yeah. Even a year ago
I would've snapped these up
in a heartbeat.

- Come on, I'm hungry.

- Oh! Sorry.

- You must be--

- Mia.
- Drew.

Wow.

I thought you left
Middleton for good.

- Well, um...

- Um, I'm Helen.
I'm Drew's fiancée.
- Oh.

Drew invented an amazing app
for the financial sector

and he's selling it
to a company in the next town,

so when I heard
he grew up here,

everything just seemed
beyond perfect. It's the
right time, right place,

right guy.

- Marriage.
- Yeah.

- I'm happy that things are
working out so well for you.

- Oh!
- Oh...

- So much for
my lucky briefcase.

- It was really time
you replaced it anyway.

- What is that?

- That satchel

is part of the same collection
as the playing cards.

It belonged
to a great magician.

Some say he was Houdini's equal
until a failed stunt
ended his career.

- Really. You know what,
I'll take it.

- Hmm. Are you sure
it's for you,

using another
person's magic?

- I'm not superstitious.

- Well, I'll tell you what.

Why don't you borrow it,
and if you like it,
you can pay me back.

- That sounds like
my kind of deal.

- Can we get out of here?

I just really want that lunch
that you promised me.

- Absolutely, and I really
have to get some work done.

Hey, what's the best place
around here to avoid
interruptions?

- The Esspresso Café
is quiet this time of day.

- Is their coffee
as good as I remember?

- Your memory
won't let you down.

- Thanks.

- Great.

It was really nice to meet you.

We'll see you
around town, I'm sure.

- Bye.
- Bye.

- So, uh,

Gwen tells me that you're
looking for a babysitter job.

- That's right.

I've, uh, sort of been in limbo
the last couple of years.

I grew up here, so I moved back,

thinking that getting back to my
roots might help me figure out

what I'm supposed
to do with my life.

- What did you
study in school?

- Well, I should've listened
to everybody when they told me

an art degree was a sure-fire
ticket to the unemployment line.

Just because you love
something doesn't mean

you're supposed
to chase it as a career.

But I've always loved kids,
and so I started babysitting
part time.

- Hmm. I think you're
the perfect fit for the job.

It's settled.

Something tells me that
you're exactly what we need.

- Okay. What can I do
for you, Lori?

- I just, I don't understand

why I got a C on
the last assignment.

I got A's all throughout
high school. I was in the
National Honour Society.

I think you
must've mixed up

my assignment
with someone else's.

- Oh, yes.

Well, um, I'm sorry you're
disappointed with your grade.

But there is more to writing
a story than just assembling

the facts. I'm looking
for depth. Passion.

A unique point of view.

- But if I get a C
in your class, I'll lose
my academic scholarship.

And I can't afford to be
here without that help.

- That's not my problem, Lori.

Your next assignment

is due Friday the 25th.
That's a week from now.

(phone ringing)

Alicia Quince.

No, not interrupting anything.

What can I do for you?

- Thank you.

- Phew!

- Good morning, Martha.
- My, my.

Your new window display
is really something, Cassie.

You certainly have a way
of conjuring up the season.

- I noticed you've made
some changes yourself.

- I'll let you be
the first to know:

Martha's Sweet Beginnings
is now in the wedding
planning business!

- Oh, Martha, that's wonderful.
Jake and I loved what
you did for us.

- Well, I guess I'll head
back out into that heat.

85 degrees today
and it's supposed

to hit 100 soon.

This awful heat has made
the leftover odour from
that sewage leak

linger just a little longer

than I'd hoped.
I've tried everything.

- I actually have something
that could work for you.
With your atmosphere.

This is a natural
cleansing product

made from extract of crab apple,

which is used to fight
unsightliness

and contamination.
You can borrow it.

- Does it work?

- Just wait until
the smoke clears.

- Ooh.

Well, the only reason that
I'm even considering this

is I've literally tried
absolutely everything.

How does it work?
- Well, you put

one incense cone right in here.
- One incense cone in there.

- Light it, and then direct
the smoke where the odour
is most prominent.

I'm told that the energies work
on the principle of redirection.

- Redirection. Well, as I said,

I'll try anything.

Thank you, Cassie.

Oh!
- Martha.
- Thank you very much.

- Jake.
- Hi.
- What are you doing here?

- Well, Middleton
was having

one of its patented
no-crime days

so I was looking
for a diversion. Thought
you might need a security guard.

- No, I mean, shouldn't
you be at the airport?

- Well, Brandon's flight doesn't
get in for another three hours.

(beeping)

Brandon got on
an earlier flight.

It arrives in one hour.

And you had no way
of knowing that.

Well, I better get going.
Looks like we'll be home
for dinner after all.

- Great.
- That's not gonna be
any trouble, will it?

- Trouble? Not for me.

- Hi, can I get
a ham and Swiss,

an egg salad,
and a yogurt

for my little
Lamb Chop here.

- I'll just wait outside.

- Mom.

Hi.

I've been trying
to get a hold of you,

but every time I call your phone
goes right to voice mail.

- George, this is my son, Drew.

Drew, this is my husband,
George.

- Hi.

I'm sorry I didn't come
to the wedding.

- I wasn't even sure
if you got the invitation,
since I haven't heard from you.

- I wanted to, but I just had
so much going on.

- To be honest, I wasn't
expecting you to.

After all, you haven't
called or written

in so long.
- Why don't we just
leave it all behind us?

Everything is different now.
I've gotta show you

what I've been working on.
Check this out.

- That looks pretty sharp.

- Oh, thanks. I designed it
myself. See, look,
this dotted line

projects future stock prices
based on historical cycles. Mom,

when you see where this is going
to take me, you're going
to be so proud.

This is the next big thing.

- I hope it is.

This time.

- Isn't this one plate too many?

- Well, family
takes up a lot of room.

Especially when
it's so full of love.

How's school, Lori?

- It's a lot different
than I thought it would be.

- We're home!

Well, I hope we have room
for another guest.

- Ohh!
- Hey, Cassie.
- Hi.

- Thought
I'd surprise you

and bring Tara
for your birthday.

- Thank you. Well, you're
just in time for dinner.

- Thanks. Hey, Grace.

How's it going? I haven't
seen you in a long time.

Here ya go.
- Thank you.

- Well, it sounds
like this break

came at just the right time.

(dinging)
- Speaking of time,

that is my pumpkin
walnut meringue.

I'll be right back.

- So, it looks like

I have an internship lined up
for the spring semester.

- Hey, congratulations.
And in Nashville.

- Uh... No, um...

I'll be living in Portland.

- Oregon?

- I got accepted into the
university for a master's
in psychology.

- It's one of the top
programs in the country.

- A lot of music opportunities
in Portland?

- Well, I'll make
my own opportunities.

I'm just so ready to be done
with school and start
my real life.

I'm really,

really lucky to have
Tara by my side.
- Aw!

That's so romantic.
- I'm just a little worried
that you two are getting

ahead of yourselves.
To build careers, it takes
a lot of hard work and focus.

- What's the problem, Dad?

- Well, I...

I just hope you know
what you're doing.

- Well, I'm glad
I set the timer!

I didn't want to leave that
in the oven too long.
- It smells great, Cassie.

- Everything has
its perfect moment,

and you have to embrace it
when you can.

- Alright. Put one cone

in the incense burner.

(sniffing)

Ugh! Three.

Three cones in
the incense burner.

Uh-oh.

Oh no! No, no! Oh my!

Too much! Too much!

Door! The door! Out!

Oh! Drew! So good
to see you again.
- I need to talk to you.

- And I need to talk to you!

Quick question: I have been
sourcing grass-fed beef

for the entrees--
- Forget it.

- Oh, well, they're
closed on Sundays

so I really need to square
things up today--

- No, just forget all of it.
I can't pay for any of it.

- What? Oh dear.
What happened?

- Well, you see this satchel
I got at the Bell, Book,
and Candle?

Well, one of the pages
of my contract got lost
in this secret pocket

and I didn't realize

and I signed the contract
and ended up signing away
the rights to my app.

So much for giving Helen
the wedding of her dreams.

(sniffing)
What is that?

Ugh! That's the worst thing

I've ever smelled in my life.
- Oh my.

Oh, what a nightmare.

I never dreamed that Cassie
would actually give me

something that
made things worse.

- Yeah, yeah. Like
this satchel she gave me

that ruined my business.

- But what on earth happened?

- It must've reacted
to something in the air.

I've never even heard of
something like this happening.

You know, I could try
a different formulation--

- Oh, please, Cassie,

I didn't ask for your help in
the first place. You offered.

And your help just
made everything worse.

So you'll forgive me
if I don't welcome a new
solution with open arms.

- Martha, I'd never do anything
to jeopardize your business.

- Well, then what went wrong?

(sighing)
- I'm afraid I don't have
an answer for that.

- Well, until you do,

perhaps you should consider
keeping your magic to yourself.

In fact,
I would prefer it

if you would stay out
of my business altogether.

- That's so pretty.

Like a flower garden,
only sparkly.

- They all have
different meaning.

Luck,

solving difficulties,
creativity--

- Do you have a minute?

- Of course. Sit down.

- I found this book
at the library,

it talks about
Elizabeth Merriwick.

- The Grey Lady?
Sounds intriguing.

I've always felt a strong
connection with my great-aunt.

- It says she disappeared.

Vanished without a trace.

- I didn't know that.
- And if I find what
I think I'm going to,

then I'll have my story
for journalism class.

- I think you'll do
a great job.

- There is one other thing.

A weird coincidence.

It turns out that you
and the Grey Lady have
the same birthday.

October 24th.

- Well, then there's one more
thing to celebrate on Thursday.

- Not exactly.

The 24th is also the day
she disappeared.

- Well, I hope my birthday party
isn't quite as exciting.

- Sorry to bother you, George--

- That's Mr. O'Hanrahan.

- Right, of course,
Mr. O'Hanrahan.

Just wondering
if my mom is here?

- Well, even if she was, I'm not
sure she'd want to see you.

- It's just that...

I really need
someone to talk to.

- I got a fresh pot of coffee.
Why don't you come on in?

- Gwen!

Where's George? I thought
you two were inseparable.

- He likes to get a later start
on the day than I do.

I heard you met Drew.

- Yeah, he was
in the store on Friday.

- I hope he didn't cause you
too much trouble.

- Seems he's caused you
some worry in the past.

- It's the way he is.

He never takes responsibility
when things go wrong.

He always looks for
someone else to blame.

- It sounds like
your family

has quite a difficult
history to overcome.

- This is the first time
I've seen him in five years.

- Which of these
do you think would look
best in that magic display?

Right in the center,
I was thinking.

- This one.

Oh, aren't those beautiful.

Playing cards
always remind me

of happy evenings
with my family.

We'd make a big bowl of popcorn
and play hearts with the
children all night long.

No matter what hand
he was dealt, Drew would
always shoot the moon.

Drove us all crazy,

but I couldn't help
but admire his moxie.

I'll take them.

- I'll make you a deal.

- So, how's that deal going
you were working on?

- You didn't hear?

I signed away the rights
to my app and now I'm broke.

- I hadn't heard.

I'm sorry to hear that.

- Well, that's not
the worst of it.

My fiancée left me.

When I told her
what happened,

she gave back the ring and said
she hoped I had a good life.

- Well, if she can't
stomach the tough times,

then she's not
the right girl for you.

- This Cassie,

she seems to get involved in
everyone's life around here.

Is she really what
people say she is?

- She's done some pretty
amazing things,

things I can't
explain.

You know,

maybe you should
pay her a visit.

- You certainly have
a lot going on in there.

- Oh, it's such a lovely day,
I thought we could talk business

while taking a nice stroll.

- Just to be clear,

I am meeting with other people.
This isn't just my wedding
at stake,

I have to think of the people
who look to my magazine

to represent the very best
in wedding chic.
- I've been a subscriber

for years. I think I've kept
every issue since 1992.

Nobody knows your magazine
better than I.

- I'm looking for the
total package here.

Everything needs to radiate
style and taste.

- The delivery got
rescheduled till tomorrow.

Yeah, I'm closing up
in about twenty minutes,

so why don't you
bring Grace by here?

Thanks, Mia.

Drew. How did the satchel
work out for you?

- Not too well.

If I had anything left
to lose, I wouldn't be here.

Can I ask you
something?

Did you know that this satchel

has a secret pocket?

- It belonged to a magician,
so I can see why--
- And did you know

that my fiancée would leave me
when my business deal
got screwed up?

- There's no way
I could have known that.

- That's not what I hear.

I hear that you have
special powers.

That the things you give
to people change their lives.

And I just want to know why
I got dealt a bad hand.

- I think you have
the wrong idea about me.

- Well, then prove me wrong.
Fix my life.

- Your life isn't
mine to fix.

- I'm not buying this.

I tell you what.

If I get my life back,
nobody loses.

But if I don't,

let's just say that I'm good
at making things disappear.

- You sure are right about
this town being charming.

- It's the kind
of place that attracts

the right kind of person.

- One day you'll lose something,
and then you'll know exactly
how this feels.

In fact, I hope you do.
I hope you lose everything.

I am sorry I ever agreed
to get married in Middleton.

I hate this town!
- Ha, ha, ha!

Things like this never
happen in Middleton.

I'll take care of it.
I promise.

- I'll be frank with you.

I don't like what I see.

- Drew?

Are you okay?

- My life is ruined,
thanks to your boss.

- Drew, not everything
is somebody else's fault.

- I bet you're glad we went
our separate ways, aren't you?

- It's a time in my life
I'd rather forget.

- Incredible. Everyone thinks
it's okay to just write me off.

Well, you know what?
I'm done being ignored.

Middleton is going
to pay attention to me.

- Hey, hon... Oh,

good, I was hoping to find you
before I had to head out again.
How many pumpkins

do you think we need
for the party? What's wrong?

- Read it.

- Brandon and Tara eloped?

- Keep reading.

- "Tara and I are in love.

"It's like Cassie said,

this is our perfect moment
and we need to embrace it."

Jake, I'm sure they'll
realize that--
- Cassie.

You introduced them and you gave
them the idea to elope.

- We'll find them.
- No,

I'll take care of this
on my own.

- Motion carried. And now on
to the next item on the agenda

of this meeting of
the Middleton Citizen's League.

It seems that Middleton,
at the moment,

is not the idyllic paradise
that we're all used to.

I suggest we start by addressing
the Bell, Book, and Candle.

- My store? What about it?

- You gave me a smoke bomb
and now my store smells
like a skunk.

And Gwen,
Gwen's poor son

is nursing
a broken heart

and the death of all
his hopes and dreams

all because you thought
that he might need a satchel.

- You can't blame that
on Cassie.

- No one is assigning blame,

but honestly, Cassie, as mayor,

when will you learn that
Middleton is not the place

to dabble in the... dark arts?

It really does seem
like both of us

would've been better off if
we'd never come to you for help.

- You've given me
a lot to think about.

- I think that we will all be
doing a lot of thinking

between now and
the next meeting.

Meeting adjourned.

- How are you all holding up?

- Well, I'm okay, but I know
that Jake is imagining
the worst.

I'm still holding out hope that
Brandon will do the right thing.

- You always see
the good in people.

- Thank you so much for offering
your vacation home
for the party.

It's the perfect place
for everyone to celebrate.

That's what matters most.

- Hey, Grandpa.

I was just wondering if I could
check something in the basement?

- Of course. I'll be
up here if you need me.

- Thanks.

(magical tinkling sound)

(hollow sound)

- Hey, do you mind
if I see those?

Pick a card.

- I don't know how you did that.
I've been practicing that trick

all morning and I still can't
figure out how it's done.

- If you like, I can show you
how to do this trick.

It's super easy.
And once you learn one,
you can learn the rest of them.

- I'd appreciate it.

- Yeah. Maybe we could
help each other out.

- You know,
it occurred to me:

I've got a friend
who's a lawyer.

If you like,

I could show him your contract
and see what he thinks.

- Oh, yeah.

Yeah, that'd be great.
I'd love a chance to
get back at those guys.

- Whoa. One step at a time.

Just let him read it and see
if there's anything you can do.

- You'd do that for me?

- I'd do it for your mom.

- It's Elizabeth
Merriwick's diary.

The Grey Lady herself.
I stayed up half the night

reading it. And I came
across this,

dated October 21st.

- That's today.

- Three days
before her birthday.

And yours.

Listen.

"This heat is unrelenting,

"like nothing anyone has ever
experienced in Middleton

"or in the surrounding
counties. I dare not

"voice my feelings
to anyone else,

"but I write them here,
where I face no judgment.

"At the very moment
when happiness

"seems most attainable,

"I am smothered and stricken.

"If anything happens

"to spoil
my birthday... No,

I will write of that no more."

She was scared
of her birthday.

And she was right to be,

because something
really did happen to her.

- Well, I must admit

it does sound a lot like
what's going on right now.

- You don't think

something's gonna happen

on your birthday, do you?

- It wouldn't be a birthday

if there wasn't a surprise.
(crash)

- What should we do?

- Protect it.

If we can.

- I know he's screening
his calls and he's
ignoring my texts.

- He'll come back.
I know he will.

- Yeah, not until he makes the
biggest mistake of a lifetime.

I can't believe
this is happening.

- Look.

Cassie knows what she's doing.
I'm sure that it's all
gonna work out.

- You don't know Brandon.
He's gonna go through with this

just to prove that he's right.
He's as stubborn as they come.

Call me if anything comes up,
will ya?

- Yeah. You got it.

- I thought Jake
would be home by now,
but I guess he's working late.

I'll get back
as soon as I can.

Are you sure you don't mind
sticking around longer?
- I've got nothing else to do.

- Okay.

It's supposed to be hot
again tomorrow.

Grace might want to play
in the sprinklers to stay cool.

- All finished.

The paint will be
fully dry in the morning.

- Thanks for the touch-up.
I'll be more careful next time
I move the herb cabinet.

Hello, Drew.

- Cassie Nightingale.

I didn't know novelty shops
in sleepy little towns

stayed open so late.
- Just polishing up the magic.

- Now you see it.

Now you don't.

I came here to give you one last
chance to make things right.

- And what makes you think
it's the last chance?

- I know my business is gone.

I know my fiancée is gone.

And I know you had
something to do with it.

- Destiny is not something
within anyone's power.

If something
matters to you,

it's worth trying everything

in your bag of tricks.

- How did you get that?

- You can keep it
if you'd like.

- Oh, no.

Hi, Ms. Quince.

Do you have a minute?
- Of course.

Is this about your
assignment for class?

- I just keep finding parallels.
First, the birthday,

then the heat wave,
and now the fire.

Thankfully, the firefighters
got there quickly.

This is the Grey Lady's
house after the fire.

- Mm-hmm.

I have to admit I admire
your passion.
- Thank you.

- This all seems
like a wild goose chase.

I can't see it getting
a passing grade in my class.

- But you haven't read it yet!
- If I were you,

I would find another project.
You still have time.

Look.

I know how difficult it is
to have to scrap a story
and start all over.

Here,

why don't you take
a look at this?

The piece on page 17

is woefully
under-researched.

Between you and me, I don't
care much for the writer.

You write me a better version
of the piece and I'll accept it.

Or you can go back
to your project.

It all depends on you
finding the facts in time.

And that's a big risk to take.

- I'm worried about
the party, George.

George?

What are you doing?

- Oh.

I picked up a new hobby.

- I didn't know
you could do magic tricks.

- Well, actually,
I'm taking lessons from Drew.

- From Drew?

I don't want him taking
advantage of you.

- It's not like that.

I'm just getting
to know him better.

Trying to make things better
for both of you. Find out
how I can help.

- Helping Drew never turns out
the way you think it will.

It was about
five years ago.

He asked us for the money
we'd saved for college

so he could make the last
tuition payment himself.

We gave it to him

and he lost it all
in some crazy scheme.

- That must've been
quite a blow.

- We went into debt to be
able to pay his tuition
so he could graduate.

And all he did
was ask us for more

so he could start a business.

We said no.

- Well, I think
you did the right thing.

- He didn't see it that way.

It's exhausting,
George.

I would do anything

to have him back in my life,

but I have no idea how that
could ever be possible.

- Forget card tricks.

We don't need anything fancy
to make Cassie's party special.

- With Brandon gone, should we
even have the party?

It just doesn't seem right
without all of us there.

- Has anyone heard
from Brandon?

- Not yet, but I'm sure
there's nothing to worry about.

- I can't stop worrying.

- Because of the fire?
- If there was really was
a curse on the Grey Lady,

then there could be
a curse on you.

I've already
lost my mother,

I... I can't
lose you, too.

- Lori.

You know your dad would never
let anything happen to me.

Oh, no...

We need something
to sweep into.

- Here,

we can use this.

- Had this for such
a long time now.

- It was beautiful.

What did it mean?

- Strength. Protection.

- Our appointment's
in 10 minutes.

- We're on time.

You want this too, don't you?

- Of course I do.

I love you.

- And I love you.

It's like Cassie said.

This is our perfect moment

and we need to embrace it.

(sighing)

- I'm ready.

- What's that? Yeah.

And when you wake up,
we'll go play in the sprinkler

like your mommy said, okay?

Yeah.

There ya go. Look.
Look, who's that?

Okay, I'll just get
everything ready, okay?

- Hi, honey.

- Has Brandon called?

- No, no. It's hot in here.
We should turn the AC on.

(loud thump)
- What was that?

- I don't know. Come on.

Cassie?

Cassie!

Cassie.

Cassie.
- Is she okay?

- Cassie.

Lori, call an ambulance.

Cassie, can you hear me?

(sighing)

You should get some rest.

- I'm fine.
I just got dehydrated.

I didn't think it was going
to be 100 degrees in October.

- I'm sorry
about what I said.

I never should
have blamed you.

Brandon's got a mind of his own.
- Well,

I'm sure wherever he is, he's
right where he's supposed to be.

- Cassie, how are you feeling?

- Much better, thanks
to your dad and Lori.

- Yeah?
- So, I understand

congratulations
are in order.

- We never actually made it
inside the courthouse.

- We drove all night.

We left as soon as we got
your call about Cassie.

But we're gonna set another date
after Cassie's party.

- Oh. Still, I kinda hoped
you'd changed your mind.

- Well,

our minds are made up.

- I'm glad you're
feeling better.

- Thanks.

- Don't worry, we'll get
together and figure it out
before the party.

- Jake, I don't know
how we'll get together.

We're all headed
in different directions.

(doorbell)

- Hi.

- What are you doing here?

- Mia, can I come in?

Nice place.
- I'm renting a room upstairs

until I figure out
my next career move.

- How long you lived here?
- Four months.

I've got some ideas.
Might give an office job a try.

- Office job?

But it seems like you're
getting back into restoration.

- This is just
a side project.

It's a picture of the Grey Lady.

I don't think that they realize
how valuable it is.

- How valuable is it?

- It was painted by Elyse
Rathburn early in her career,

and she went on to become
a very famous portrait artist.

- Well, you always did have
a passion for art history.

- Passion doesn't make a career.

- That's not what
you used to think.

What changed?

- You did.

- That's because everything
fell apart when you cut me
out of your life.

- You said you would come to
Italy with me. But you never
showed up and never told me why.

- Everything would have been
fine if you'd just stayed
in Middleton.

- Yeah, well, it turns out
Italy didn't work out
so well for me, either.

Looks like I don't
have what it takes.

Never did.

- I'm sorry I bothered you.

- How's Cassie doing?
- She's doing a lot better.

She's just having a nap
with Grace.

- I really need
to talk to you.

I found an empty bottle
of smelling salts

in the trunk where
I found the diary.

They're for reviving
consciousness. And the
prescription on them

is dated two days before
the Grey Lady's birthday.

Just like Cassie had
a fainting spell yesterday.

Cassie's birthday

is tomorrow.
The timing is the same.

The coincidences,
they just keep adding up.

- Lori, honey,

that's exactly what they are.
Coincidences.

Real investigations
are based on facts.

- Please, just take me with you

when you go to the Bell,
Book, and Candle to talk
to the fire marshal.

- Well, it'd be nice
to have some company.

But no conspiracy
theory talks, okay?

- I'll just watch and observe.
- Alright.

- Hi. I'm so glad
you could come today.

- How are you feeling?

Do you want me to take
Grace for a walk?
- Oh, no, I'm fine.

Actually, I might
join you on that walk.

- Grace would love that.

Oh, wow!

There ya go.

- How's the job search going?
- Not too well.

Seems like everyone wants
an admin job in a cushy
office building.

I've rewritten my resume
so many times I'm second-
guessing everything,

even my own name.
- You never have to second guess

when you're true to
who you really are.

- Someone close to me
used to say that.

But that was a long time ago.

That door is closed.

- Sometimes we need
to open doors

to let in the fresh air.

- You seen anything yet?
- Tests are coming out positive.

There are trace amounts
of flammable liquid.

- What does that mean?

- It means it may not
have been an accident.

- Drew Wyatt?

- That's me.

- You're under arrest.
- For what?

- Loitering at a crime scene.

- I wasn't doing anything.
- That's what they all say.

- Is Middleton so perfect
that they can waste
police officer's time

just arresting a guy
walking down the street?

- Well, it's enough to hold you
while we investigate

the fire at
Cassie's shop.

Plus, I'd say the guy that was
seen harassing the store owner

and was the last one to leave
before the fire started

is probably a prime suspect.
- Okay,

fine. I won't
take it personally,

I'm sure Cassie has
something to do with this.

- You... have the right
to remain silent.
- Yeah.

- I'm so glad we can finally
spend some time together.

I've missed you since
you left home.
- Yeah.

I've really missed
you guys too.

I'm surprised my dad doesn't
want me to just come back
after I graduate

and live with you guys so
he can keep telling me
how to live my life.

Once I'm married,

he won't treat me
like a little kid anymore.

- As long as that's not the only
reason for your decision.

One moment can change
your destiny.

- What's that sign
all about?

- I don't know,
but I'll find out.

- I hate to tell you this,

but some local business owners
filed a complaint with
your landlord.

If you have any
dangerous objects

in your shop, he's within
his rights to evict you.

Alright, now your only hope
is to prove

that it was arson

and it wasn't
your fault.

- I didn't see this coming.

- That's the most surprising
thing I've heard in
my whole life.

- You seem to be carrying
quite a heavy burden.
Do you need some help?

- Thank you, but you've done
quite enough already.

You do know that I had
no choice but to go

to the business association
about your store.

I did it for Middleton.
It was nothing personal.

- Well, maybe it's for the best.
I've had so much going on,

not having to worry
about the store...

(magical tinkling sound)

...will give me a chance
to clean up some clutter.

- Hi, Derek.
- Hi, Gwen.
- How's Drew?

- He's fine. Probably bored

more than anything else.
Are you here to bail him out?

Alright,
let's take a look.

His bail is set

for $30,000,

so to get him out
it'd be $3,000.

We can take cash
or certified check.

- That's a lot of money.
What happens if nobody pays it?

- Well, he'll sit here
until the judge can see him,

which is gonna be Friday
at the earliest.

- That's two days in jail.

- Cassie,

you barely touched that.
Did it taste all right?

I know I'm not half
the cook you are.
- No, it was delicious.

You put a lot of love into it.
I just don't have

much of an appetite.

(sighing)
Brandon came by today.

You really should
talk to him, Jake.

He needs your approval
more than you realize.

- What Brandon needs is somebody
to talk some sense into him,

instead of filling his head

with romantic ideas
about young love.

- You yourself know that young
love can work. It did for you.

- I missed some opportunities
because I was just like Brandon,

I was in a rush to get started
with real life.

- Brandon's life started

when you and his mother
first met.

- Hi, Cassie. George and I

realized that we hadn't
decided on what time

the party should be tomorrow
night. He thought six,
I thought eight.

- Whatever works best for all
would make me happy. When should
I get there to decorate?

- Oh, well, we can't actually
get you in there until tomorrow,
when the current guests leave.

They wanted to stay for
a whole month, but the party
was more important to me.

It'll help me take
my mind off things.

- Things with Drew
have been hard on you.

- I just feel so bad

that my son has been causing
so many problems for you.

And now he's in jail.

At least while he's in there

he can't run away
from his problems.

It's too much money to take
the risk that he'll disappear,

or worse.

- No matter how old
our children get,

a mother's responsibility
never ends.

- It just seems like yesterday
he was heading off to college

with promise, plans, and dreams.

Anyway, I'm looking
forward to this party.

I can just picture it now, all
of us together and celebrating.

Well, maybe not all of us.

- You know, bringing a family
together takes more than
just willpower.

You have to have a plan,

and you have to know
when to change directions.

- I couldn't help
but notice

you made some changes.
What happened?

- Well, there were...
complications.

I ended up having
to redecorate.

- It looks like you got rid
of almost everything.

- Yes, well, I had to.

- I absolutely love it.

I have to be honest,

when I first came
to this place, I did not
know what to think of you.

But now that you've
redecorated, it's perfect.

I don't have
to look any further.

My four-page spread
for my wedding

belongs to Middleton and
Martha's Sweet Beginnings.

(giggling)
- Well, you know,

I do have a bit of
a knack for feng shui.

May I ask, though, what
brought you back this way?

- A care package
from your mayor,

that included
some absolutely delectable
chocolate latte truffles.

- Cassie.

- Thank you.
(giggling)

- Mmm. Thank you
for my birthday breakfast.

- It's nice to be able to do
something for you for a change.

- How's your project going?

- Well, I feel like
I have all the pieces,

but I just don't know
how to put them together.

- What does
your professor say?

- She wants me to give it up.

- Is that a direct quote?

- I have to get back to class.

Oh, and Cassie,
please be careful.

Ms. Quince! Ms. Quince!

I've done more research
into my story.

- Oh, I thought
I advised you to give that up.

- Well, then I remembered
my favourite quote.

"Never let anybody tell you
to give up a story.

That just means
the story has just begun."

- You've read my book.

- Elizabeth Merriwick
disappeared without a trace

and everyone assumed
she was dead,

but no body was ever found, and
nobody, not even her stalker,

Andrew Whymark,
was arrested.

She just vanished
without a trace.

And I can't let her story
end like that.

- Lori,

cold cases are notoriously
difficult to write about.

You'll drive
yourself crazy,

and I'm becoming genuinely
concerned you're not gonna
meet your deadline.

Trust me,

I know from
personal experience.

- Which book was that from?
I don't think I've read it.

- That's because I used a
pseudonym. When I was younger,

I was told that my name
was too feminine

for writing about crime,

so I started calling
myself Alex Quinn.

Like in the Victorian era,
back when women weren't supposed

to have interests
outside the home.

(knocking)

- Mia.

Thought I gave you the day off.
- You did, I just stopped by
to bring you a present.

- Come on in.

You fixed it!

Mia, it's just lovely.

- I used to specialize
in restoring old paintings.

I've missed it so much.

I only wish that there
was still a way for me

to pursue it as a career.

- Well, it's a wonderful
birthday gift, Mia.

Not only did you
repair the painting,

but you brought
the Grey Lady back to life.

I'm just so relieved to see her
back where she belongs.

- You've made bail.
- Really?
- Yup.

- Mom.

I'm so sorry.

Whatever they said
I did, I didn't do.

- I believe you.

- Where'd you get the money?

- I own a cottage that
I rent out to tourists.

We were planning to have
Cassie's birthday party there,

but I didn't feel right

about leaving you in here.
So I rented it out.

- Why now?

- Cassie helped me realize

it was time to bring
my family back together.

- I guess maybe it's time
I paid her a visit.

- We can still celebrate
Cassie's birthday,
we just have to do it

at a restaurant or the house.

The most important thing
is that we're all together.

- Lori, I don't know if right
now is the best time for a
birthday celebration, anyway.

- The way I see it,

is that if this
really is a curse,

then we still
have time to break it.

The Grey Lady disappeared
before her party,

so we just have
to prevent the same thing
from happening to Cassie.

Listen.

"We are all of us
on edge. Arguing.

"I am alone in my room,

"though I am certain I will not
call Grey House home
for much longer.

My stay here is coming
to an end."

- What else does it say?

- It ends there.

She knew something
bad was gonna happen,

and that no one
was gonna protect her.

Can you imagine
how scared she must have been?

And look at this.

That's Andrew Whymark,

the man who stalked the Grey
Lady and made her disappear.

He looks a lot like Drew.

- Lori, honey,

you're seeing things
that aren't there.

- Why are you being
so close-minded?

You're so stuck
on your own opinions

that you can't see what's best
for me, Brandon, or even Cassie.

- I need to get some fresh air.

- Why? Where are you going?

- I'm going for a walk.
I'll be back in a little while.

- Surprised to see me?

- Should I be?

- My mom had to cancel
your party to bail me out.

But I suppose you knew that.
You seem to be involved in
everything around here.

- Well, when it's my family,

I'm always involved.

- That hasn't worked out so well
for you recently, has it?

- There's still work to do.

- Even you can't
predict the future.

- No, but we can
know our past.

From the moment she saw you,
she has wanted to spend her life

with you.
- Helen?

- Well, we always remember
the ones who stand by us

when we're still figuring out
who we're supposed to be.

- And who am I?
- You're a magician.

- That's right,
Cassie Nightingale.

I still have a few
tricks up my sleeve.

- Derek?

Yeah, is Cassie in the office?

Well, she was supposed to be
home a couple hours ago.

Well, call me
if you have any info.

Thanks.

- She's not answering
her cell.

- Well, she's not answering her
cell because she left it here.

- Dad, I'm really worried.

- Yeah, so am I, honey.

It's like
she just vanished.

And so did the painting
of the Grey Lady.

Derek, I need you to put
an APB out for Cassie.

It looks like Drew
skipped town. Find him.

I'm going
to search the town.

- Let me come with you.

- Okay. It'll be good
to have another set of eyes.

George and Gwen have to open up
Grey House, they've got guests,

so could you stay with Grace?
- I have to get back
to the college

to track something down.
Something really important.

- I can do it.
- Are you sure?

- Yes. Anything I can do
to help Brandon's family.

- Okay. Thanks.

We'll meet back here at seven.
Hopefully we've found her
by then.

Okay, you look for anything
that's out of place. Anything.

Because you never know
what clue might lead you
in the right direction.

- Well, it seems
like if she were here,

she wouldn't be
hiding from us.

- Well, you can't make
assumptions when you're
doing police work.

- Okay.

What's the matter?

- I'm worried.

- Well, Dad, don't worry.

We'll find her.

- You know, Brandon,

other than the days that you
three kids were born,

I think the best times
in my life

were the day
that I met Cassie,

and the day that
I met your mom.

I don't know if I can go
through that again.

Losing Cassie

like we lost your mother.
(cell phone ringing)

Hello? Yeah.

Okay.

No, no, okay.
We'll be right there.

- What is it?
- That was your grandpa George.
He just got home to Grey House,

somebody's broken in
and he thinks they're
still there. We should go.

Okay. Wait here.

- Be careful, Jake.

(creaking)

- Lori, when did you get here?

- Brandon texted me.

I wanted to be
with everyone.

- Well, it's all clear.
Follow me.

Everyone stay close.

- This family will
always stay close.

It's what we do.

- Cassie!

- I see we all arrived
in the same place

after all.

- What happened? Are you okay?

- I've never felt
better in my life.

- What are you doing here?

- I'm here for the same
reason as the rest of you.

Follow me.

(gasping)
- Wow!

- We're all here
for my birthday party.

- (Brandon): Cassie,
this is amazing!

Wow!
- (Lori): It's
beautiful, Cassie!

- Cassie, when did you
have time to do all this?

- I always have time
for my family.

Life is taking us all
in different directions.

And that's as it should be.
But our family is strong.

When it matters the most,

we all find our way back
to each other.

- I love your costume.

- What's a Halloween party
without costumes?

There's something
there for everyone.

- Hey,

what happened to the people
who wanted to rent Grey House
for the night?

It was you, wasn't it?

You planned this all along.

- I may have planned
my birthday party,

but the most important work
was done by my family:

being here together.

(chattering)

- Thank you so much for
inviting me to this party.

- I've come to think of you
as part of the family.

- I really hope you can
find that painting.

- Ladies and gentlemen!

On the occasion of the birthday

of Miss Cassie Nightingale,
I present to you a sight

that you will never,
ever forget!

Now you don't see it...

(gasping)
Now you do!

- Where did that come from?
That was stolen from our home!

- Not stolen. Just borrowed.

- Mia, when I first found out

you weren't doing restorations
any more, I couldn't believe it.

I mean, it's your passion
for your art that's
always inspired me.

So for you
to get it back,

I had to do something.

- I don't understand.

- I brought the painting in
to be evaluated.

At the museum.

Mia, they want to hire you.

- Why would you do something
like this for me?

- I can explain.

There's so much
I need to tell you.

- There's so much I need to
know. I thought you resented me

for leaving you behind.

- Well, it felt like that
at the time.

I mean, you were
in Italy, I was here.

I blew all my money
on a bad business deal.

And the truth is, I couldn't
afford to go to Italy.

I just didn't have
the heart to tell you.

- I wouldn't have cared.

- I know that now.

That's the worst
part of it.

- Maybe it doesn't
have to be.

- You know, Cassie
helped me realize

that all my life I've been
chasing these dreams

and illusions,

when really,
what I needed

was right here
in Middleton.

With you.

- Martha! I'm so glad
you could come.
- Thank you.

I'm getting all kinds
of inspiration from
your decorating,

you know, in case one
of my clients wants

some unconventional touches
at one of their events.

- Well, as long as you're
having some fun, too.

- Speaking of business...

I took it upon myself to clear
things up with your landlord.

- How did you do that?

- Well, as you well know,

my Tom plays golf
with the fire marshal.

I just can't believe that that
painter could be so careless

as to leave behind a turpentine-
soaked rag in this heat!

- Well, everyone
makes mistakes, Martha.

- Yes, we do.
I mean, they do.

I mean, you know,
people do.

Anyway,

I may have gone just
a tad overboard.

- You, Martha? Never.

(giggling)

- Hi, guys.
- Drew.

Um, lawyer called.

He was able to
help you out after all.

He got your contract nullified

and was able to negotiate
an even better deal.

- Wow.

Thank you.

I guess that satchel did me
a favour after all, didn't it?

- I'm so happy for you.

You've found a way to create
your own success.

- Yeah.

I'm really happy
that the deal worked out,

but I think I got
something better.

Look, this may
sound crazy,

but losing everything
might have been the best thing
that ever happened to me.

- How, Drew?

- Because I finally had
to take responsibility

for all the poor decisions
I've made in my life.

And by blaming others,

I was just driving away
everybody who ever loved me.

- Cassie got her party,

and I got my son back.

- She was so good.
- There you go.

- The Grey House is such a
seasonally appropriate choice

for a Halloween themed party,
don't you think?

- I hope you'll put it on
your wedding venue list.
- Ooh! Done and done.

- Thank you.
- I'll be right back.

You know,

on your birthday,
you're not supposed to
do things for other people.

You're supposed to get
pampered and get gifts.

- Having all of you here
is the greatest gift
I could ever dream of.

- Well, it turns out I was able
to get you something else.

- Edward Whymark?
I've never heard of him.

- Yes, you have.
When "he" was

Elizabeth Merriwick.
It was her pseudonym.

She was a prolific writer

until the day
she died at age 78.

- So you found her?

- She wrote in her diary about
a man who was trying to stop her

and I thought
it was Andrew Whymark,

but it was her father.

He didn't think women
should be writers.

- So what does Andrew Whymark
have to do with it?

- Well, that's
the romantic part.

They ran away together
to get away from her father

so she could continue
her career as a writer.

She reinvented herself

in a small town in Texas until
she was able to make a home

with the man she loved,
just like you and Dad.

They lived a long,
happy life together.

- Oh, Lori.

Sounds like you have
all the material you need

for a great article.

- I think my scholarship
is safe.

- Your family really knows
how to have a good time.

- Yeah. Cassie makes
every moment special.

- What are you guys
doing in here?

- Just talking about
how happy we are.

- We have big news.

You tell them.

- Well,

you were right about finding
the perfect moment, Cassie.

So Tara and I had a long talk
and we set a date.

June 22nd.
- Well, that's, that's--

- Two years from now.
- That's great.

That is great.

That gives us plenty of time

to have the best wedding
you can imagine.

- Congratulations.
- Thank you.

- I think what Cassie meant
about the perfect moment

was that it might last a lot
longer than just one instant.

And we have our whole
lives together.

- You two are gonna make
each other very happy.

- And I'm sure Martha will be
getting a hold of you soon.

(laughing)

Oh, this has been the most
perfect birthday.

- You know,

it's incredible, Cassie.
Just when things seem
to be going wrong,

you have a way of making
everything turn out just right.

Life with you

is... magic.

The real thing.

- This is my
perfect moment.

It began
the day we met,

and I don't need
magic to know

that it will never end.
