Previously on Good Witch...

I can't believe you're leaving in a week.

Trying not to think about it.

If you can bring what you did in the quad to the classroom, we'd be lucky to have you.

Thank you.

She's pushy.

She's rude.

And you think she's trying to take Joy away.

Doesn't it bother you?

What would bother me is if Joy had a job opportunity she wanted and we didn't support her.

Do you think George could make a stand for this?

Sam and I found the other half of the cipher in a weather vane, hidden in plain sight.

What does that mean?

I have no idea.

[Uplifting music]

[Cassie chuckles]

[Sam sighs]

Good morning.

What is all this?

This is English breakfast tea.

This is a chocolate chip scone.

And this...

is a kiss from your husband.

And this is perfect.

You were up late.

Yeah, I was grading papers.

Your last ones.

Mm-mm.

How does it feel?

Like it went by too fast.

You don't wanna leave?

I was just getting warmed up.

Well, you know what they say: when one door closes, make lemonade.

Nobody ever said that.

What can I tell you?

You married an original.

You are definitely one of a kind.

I'm also late.

Have a good day.

I always do.

Not too shabby?

We do good work.

Yeah, we do make a pretty good team.

Sometimes I forget that.

Sometimes?

[Joy chuckles]

Thanks for jumping in on Martha's house.

Ah, I couldn't just let you fall on your face.

Oh, well, I still might if we don't get that hallway painted before the party.

Oh, we'll get it done.

It's what we do.

Yeah.

Question is what do we do next?

I haven't given it much thought.

I have put in a bid on a huge remodel in Vermont.

It could be our biggest project yet.

Vermont?

Yeah.

You're gonna love it.

[Pensive music]

I was hoping my eyes were playing tricks on me.

They're not.

[Bell jingles]

Cassie!

I need to clear the air.

About what?

Well, not about what.

It's about where.

Oh.

[Mysterious music]

Everything OK?

Oh, that's lovely.

What treasure does it hold?

Hmm.

Is that dirt?

Looks like dirt to me.

Some sort of beauty treatment perhaps?

I don't think so.

You don't know?

I don't.

Didn't you order it?

I didn't.

So it just appeared out of nowhere?

I don't think you came in here to talk about dirt.

No, but I did come in to talk about my housewarming gala.

I don't think I've ever felt this anxious.

Hmm.

Your home is beautiful, and your housewarming is gonna be magical.

Oh, I do like the sound of that.

Smudging some juniper will help get the energy flowing in the right direction.

Oh, wonderful, but I will need some direction on how to put those sticks to work.

I can do better than that.

I'll come over and smudge with you.

Oh, thank you.

Now I know everything will be absolutely perfect.

I'm a saver.

Well, I'm trying to save you from burning out.

I haven't in 25 years.

But what happens next week when you're gone?

Ah, then you call the repair guy.

[Sighs]

Sorry!

Bad joke.

No...

good joke, bad timing.

I've just...

I've been reading articles on long-distance relationships.

Not good?

[Softly]: Not good.

But our long-distance relationship is only temporary.

Says the man who has no idea when he's coming back.

So what are you saying?

I don't know.

One of the articles said that doing what you think you're supposed to do instead of what both people should do is a great way to ruin a relationship.

So what do you wanna do?

I don't know!

[Tense music]

Hidden in plain sight could be any of these places.

Or it could be none of these places.

That's encouraging.

That's keeping it real.

Don't make me break up with you again.

Sam: Hello?

We're in the living room.

Thanks for coming.

Yeah.

Hey, you've got an evidence board!

I borrowed it from the police chief.

I thought you two couldn't be in the same room together.

Neither did we but the ruby keeps cracking, so.

We decided if we're gonna lose to the curse, we're gonna lose together.

Well, let's make sure you don't lose.

♪ ♪ How wonderful!

A cleansing smoke bath for my home.

Smudging's a tradition that goes back thousands of years to create calming and soothing energy.

I can positively feel the positivity in the air.

This housewarming gala is gonna go off without a hitch!

Hey, anybody order some flowers?

[Playful music]

I ordered a houseful of stunning arrangements, but that is a stunning disappointment.

There's eight more of them on the truck.

Where do you want them?

I don't.

The delivery is denied.

Why didn't you have Abigail do the flowers?

Well, she was my first choice, of course, but she refused to help celebrate Roderick's old house.

I reminded her that it's now my house, but no dice.

I've got some more bad news.

Um, I'm not sure if the hallway paint is gonna dry in time for the party.

Lovely.

No flowers and wet paint.

When is the smudging going to kick in?

You want half?

Yes!

And I also wanna know why you're home.

I was sent home.

Oh.

Were you a bad boy?

I was.

I haven't used any of my vacation days in three years.

Mystery solved.

So, you're stuck with me for the next two weeks.

Ah.

Well, maybe you can help me grade some papers.

I thought you said goodbye to your class?

Professor Hughes decided to take an extended sabbatical.

And Professor Barnes offered you the position?

She did.

Congratulations!

That's great.

Mm-hmm.

Mm!

Not as great as this.

Mm-hmm!

Nothing yet.

[Cell phone ringing]

I'll just reschedule.

You can't reschedule lunch with the governor.

I'll keep looking.

I'll make sure he doesn't order dessert.

I wish I could say the three words.

Let's break this curse so that you can.

I wanna say them now.

I'll say them for both of us.

I love you.

[Chuckles]

That's quite a rock.

Yeah.

I'm quite a guy.

[Adam chuckles]

And modest too.

Ha!

Think Stephanie will say yes?

What do you think?

I want her to know how much I love her.

You sure that's all you want?

I wanna marry her.

Or you wanna make sure that she's there when you come back.

That's not fair, Sam.

You're right.

It's not.

Lucky for me, you're not the one I'm proposing to.

♪ ♪ Well, did you offer to pay double?

I did offer double, but they didn't think they could get the arrangements done by tonight.

That is the last time I go to Blairsville for something!

I think this is the first time.

How will we ever put the warm in housewarming without beautiful flowers?

As long as you're there, Martha, the house doesn't need flowers to be beautiful.

Oh, Tom!

[Chuckles]

Is this a bad time?

I'm guessing it's about to be.

So the chandelier...

arrived.

The renovation's piece de resistance...

Was it damaged?

No, it's in perfect condition.

Oh!

Well then, what's the problem?

[Descending piano notes]

Unfortunately.

It's pretty!

Pretty...

[Harp music]

Alright, get comfortable.

If this were an operating room, that would be a lot easier.

You're supposed to be on vacation.

I can't just turn it off.

No, but meditation can.

I can do this.

How do we start?

Close your eyes.

Mm-hmm.

Now take a deep breath.

[Inhales deeply]

And exhale.

[Exhales heavily]

Good.

Relax your mind.

I don't think that's gonna happen.

Give it a chance.

Remind yourself why you're meditating.

'Cause you told me to.

Focus on your breathing.

Try counting with each breath.

Om is a mantra.

You should try to come up with one of your own.

Like what?

Whatever helps you find your center.

I'm...

bored...

[Sighs]

I'm...

bored.

[Laughs]

I'm sorry.

All this relaxing is stressing me out.

Well, the stressing out is making it hard for me to relax.

I have the perfect solution.

Yeah, you're gonna go work on your putting?

[Chuckles]

[Exhales heavily]

I'm not doing your flowers, Martha.

Why would you assume I'm here about flowers?

Aren't you?

Well, yes, but why would you assume that?

You ordered online, didn't you?

When you turned me down, I had no choice.

It was your choice to buy Roderick Davenport's house.

The house is an innocent bystander.

Your beef is with Roderick.

My beef is with you.

[Sighs]

And I'm happy to bear that burden.

And I completely understand if you can't bring yourself to arrange the flowers, but I would love it if you'd at least bring yourself to my housewarming.

Oh, and Donovan too, of course.

I appreciate that, but we wouldn't feel right celebrating where the curse began.

Well, if you change your mind, you know that my door is always open.

[Mysterious music]

Got you hooked on that sweet and salty thing, didn't I?

Actually, this is for you.

You're good.

You're not too shabby yourself.

And I can see you're a good friend to Joy.

She's had my back since day one.

Yeah, and you've had hers.

She told me you helped her through a rough time after her mom d*ed.

That was a rough time.

She was pretty lost.

Yeah, finding our way after going through something like that is never easy.

Joy almost found her way by joining the circus.

The circus?

She told me she grew up doing gymnastics, but she never mentioned the big top.

She thought she'd make a great trapeze artist.

All that twirling just makes me dizzy.

I guess she changed her mind.

Yours truly changed her mind.

I helped her realize it wasn't the best choice for her.

But you think taking that job in Vermont is?

You don't?

I don't think it's up to either one of us.

You're hoping she'll choose your family.

We should both be hoping that she chooses whatever's right for her.

I'll let the two of you talk about it.

Hey!

So I've been thinking about this whole Vermont thing.

You don't wanna go.

I'm not saying that, but I would like to see if there's more work here in Middleton.

Might take me a minute, but...

I think I could get used to small-town life.

[Chuckles]

[Relaxed music]

Looks like someone found his center.

No mantra required.

Hm, I don't know.

Your mantra could work for me here.

I'm...

bored...

I'm...

bored...

Don't knock it 'til you've tried it.

I got skills.

Here, let me line the ball up for you.

No, no.

I got this.

That was...

Pretty bad.

Here.

Let me help.

OK.

Widen your stance.

Bend your knees.

OK.

Take a deep breath.

[Inhales deeply]

Relax.

Now visualize where you want the ball to go.

OK.

Mm-hmm.

OK.

Look at that!

You do have skills.

It's pretty exciting, huh?

Meh.

What we should've done a long time ago: taking our lives back.

And I need you to take the music box back to Martha.

Are you sure?

We are gonna go to that party tonight and we are going to dance and we are going to have fun and we are going to forget all about curses and clues and Connellys.

I have just one question.

What time do you want me to pick you up?

[Sentimental music]

Cassie!

I fear those smudge sticks we used were expired.

Have some tea.

Oh!

No.

This problem is bigger than tea.

This problem isn't a problem.

Smudge sticks don't expire.

Well then you gave me a couple of duds.

I take it you hit a few bumps in the road?

There is nothing but potholes on this street.

Are these potholes big enough for you to cancel your party?

Nothing could make me cancel my party.

Well, it sounds like you're staying positive!

I guess I am.

Then I guess those smudge sticks weren't duds after all.

Oh...

Hm!

Hey, you!

Hey!

This is a surprise.

A nice surprise?

Always.

Mm!

You got a sec?

Always.

I'm excited to meet them too.

That was convincing.

No, I...

I am.

I just...

I just don't know if...

If you're gonna be here.

I'm sorry.

What do I tell them?

That's a good question.

One that I would love to have an answer to.

And I wish I had an answer.

I really do.

You made a plan for yourself, which is great, but I also have to be able to make plans.

Huh.

This is where the long-distance thing gets tricky.

This is where the open-ended thing gets tricky.

I can deal with the long-distance thing if I knew how long I'd be dealing.

Look, we've started to build a life here.

I know.

But nothing's gonna change.

There you are!

Just me, and my Christmas ornament.

Who doesn't love Christmas?

Well, that goes without saying, but Rudolph isn't exactly guiding my sleigh tonight.

On the bright side, it's a funny story.

It's hard to see the bright side without my monumental chandelier.

Well, here's a little something that might take your mind off of it.

A gift?!

Go on, open it.

Well, it lights up like one.

Put your hands on the clay.

Mm-hmm.

Like I said, it's easy enough.

Well, with a statement like that, you better live up to it.

We landed that remodel in Vermont.

Why isn't your mind blown?

That was before we got this offer!
