06x06 - The Dream

[bunniefuu]

Previously on Good Witch.

I've got a surprise for you.

"Professor Alicia Barnes." A possible teaching job.

Cassie: I would love to inspire the students to find their own Rembrandt.

Your life experience is invaluable.

We'd be lucky to have you.

Thank you.

Luck, love and one teardrop.

And if the teardrop is the diamond...

Finding it will stop the heart from breaking.

Which would break the curse.

Cheers!

Oh!

Can you lower your arm?

I don't think so.

Tumour is right there.

How do we fix it?

Surgery.

♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ Hmm...

What a perfect way to start your day.

Well, almost perfect.

You got your coffee and your guitar...

But no blueberry muffin.

Your wife forgot to bake them?

I'm just as shocked as you are.

When did you put those in?

A good magician never reveals her secrets.

A good surgeon does.

I'm listening.

I've been doing this forever.

It's Adam.

I'd be uneasy if you weren't.

Hmm.

Thanks.

Well, I better...

Take a muffin to go?

There you go.

It's gonna be a little hot.

Thank you.

I'll see you after surgery.

You forgot something?

Oh.

A kiss?

I was talking about your iPad.

Hmm...

Ah.

Bye.

Bye.

[whimsical music]

Don't be shy, dig in!

Just considering our choices.

Well, I would imagine that's what your voyage is all about.

Now, the croissants are made with real French butter.

Every bite is like a little hug from home.

Juste ciel, Martha!

You've...

How do you say?

Crossed every T!

Oh, Henri, this is only the beginning.

Just you wait until tonight's soiree.

Oh.

Thank goodness you're here.

I see you're buttering them up.

Well, it would be a feather in our cap to secure Bois du Frère as our sister city.

Would be a feather in their cap too.

Do you remember what we practiced?

Uh...

bonjour, s'il vous plaît, au revoir.

And you'll be sure to hit every landmark on my list.

The library, the wishing well and the old foot bridge.

Perfect!

They've all been thoroughly "Frenchified." Who hasn't?

Only you could make a hospital gown look cute.

She really does love you.

It may be the sedative talking, but I love you both.

[Stephanie chuckling]

Let's give them a minute.

I'll see you in there.

Sure I can't go in there with you?

That would be great.

I don't think Sam would approve.

Mm-mm.

This is the part where you tell me you love me.

Now, do you think Stephanie is more animal crackers or nacho cheese chips?

I think she'll love whatever you pick.

Well, in that case, let's go salty.

[beeping]

[coin chinking]

Sounds like you just hit the jackpot.

[mysterious music]

Oh my!

I most certainly did.

A Bicentennial half-dollar in superb condition.

[Martha gasping]

And minted in New York.

Is that good?

Only a hundred coins like this were minted before they moved production.

Tom has been searching for a coin like this forever.

It's a nacho-cheese ka-ching.

Sam said three hours, and it's been three and a half.

I'm sure there's nothing to worry about.

And if there was, we would have heard.

What do you think?

I think Joy and Abigail are right.

And I think you should indulge in a little vending-machine therapy.

Thanks, but there's no way I could eat.

Oh.

I never baked the macaroons for tonight.

And the Bistro's still not decorated!

With everything in your plate, I'm making an executive decision and moving tonight's festivities to City Hall.

Well, I appreciate that, but we spent so much time getting ready for this.

I can help.

We both can.

And I can stop by after class.

It looks like our little soiree is staying put.

You guys are the best.

How about I get us all some coffee?

I could use that.

Let me help you.

I'll hold, you pour.

I'd rather spill.

You had a dream.

Abigail and Donovan broke up under a crescent moon.

Then you think it's gonna come true?

That won't be the first time.

You're gonna tell them?

Don't you think they should know?

Just because you had a dream something's coming doesn't mean you should stop it.

[beeping]

How is he?

He did great.

Took a little longer than I thought, but we were able to get it all.

He did great.

It's in my bag on the chair there.

Battery's dead.

Didn't know it was there until you called me this morning.

You don't need to leave.

No, I will.

George proved to be excellent company.

Ugh!

Yeah, he was in mayor mode.

We'll talk tonight.

Or break up tonight.

It wasn't that big of a fight.

Unless you know something I don't.

Cassie didn't want me to tell you, but...

I had a dream that you and Donovan broke up.

Why didn't she want you to tell me?

Well, a lot of my dreams come true.

She didn't want you to worry, but I thought you should know.

How do we break up?

Well, it's kind of blurry, but I saw you guys standing under a crescent moon...

1897.

Pissaro.

Boulevard Montmartre.

Plenty of artists had painted Montmartre before; what makes Pissaro's take different?

Pissaro favoured palette knives over brushes and twilight over bright sun.

That's his technique; I'm asking about his point of view.

Sydney, do me a favour: walk to the middle of the room and sit on the floor.

Well, thank you, you can all return to your seats.

Pissaro moved to Paris from a small town.
