07x03 - The Delivery

[bunniefuu]

Previously on Good Witch.

This place is great.

- But it could be greater.

- If you're looking for greater?

- And you're hired.

- The mama-to-be is going to be bunking at Casa del Tinsdale.

I just wish he didn't have to work so much.

To stay on top, he's gotta stay on the road.

I got an acceptance letter!

[LAUGHING]

- Texting Grace?

- She misses everyone.

The day I made this was the last time my mom, dad and I were together, and my dad found a shell.

- Did it look like this?

- Exactly like this.

I know what the symbol is for.

[PENSIVE MUSIC]

♪♪ - You do realize it's a.m.?

- Already?

You were coming to bed four hours ago.

That means there's only nine hours left until Grace is home.

How many muffins do you plan to make?

Hopefully, enough for me to have seconds.

- Oh, what the heck.

- I'm sorry I woke you.

We're all excited she's coming home.

I wonder if she'll have a Spanish accent.

She was only in Spain six months.

- Six months and three days.

- Who's counting?

How about we all count some sheep?

I'm one sheep ahead of you, Doc.

- You coming?

- Yeah, right after this batch.

Hm.

[SAM SIGHS]

Well, Grace is a lucky girl.

Yeah, and she's not the only one.

- [SAM CHUCKLES]

- [SOFT MUSIC]

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

[SIGHS]

[CHUCKLES]

I'd be careful.

Hurt seals can be moody.

Don't let Booboo hear you say that.

My apologies, Booboo.

[CHUCKLES]

Do you know it took tickets to win this for Grace

- at the county fair?

- Well, I'm sure it was worth it.

Yeah.

They were inseparable.

Just Booboo and Grace?

[SIGHS]

You haven't slept at all, have you?

Couldn't!

[CHUCKLES]

- [JOY SIGHS]

- Well, the room looks great.

- Mm!

I suppose.

- And I'm guessing Grace made that bracelet for you?

Actually...

this belonged to your mom.

And now, it belongs to you.

[CHUCKLES]

She gave it to me up at the lake.

I found it when I was putting everything together.

I got your text.

You had another dream?

I had the same dream, but that's not why I texted.

She thinks she figured out what the symbol means.

Got back from the island.

I found the shell my dad gave me.

- Told you she still had it.

- Focus.

And I think, like a shell, the symbol's meant for protection.

- Protection from what?

- That's what we have to figure out.

[LIGHT MUSIC]

Ah!

The pencil test!

Wow.

It seems like yesterday.

Yesterday seems like yesterday.

That seems like years ago.

It sounds to me like I just boarded a trip down memory lane.

Cassie's baby shower.

- Are you ready to be a mom?

- Oh, I can't wait to meet

- this beautiful little soul!

- Well, you look amazing.

- So does your jacket.

- A little swag from a commercial sh**t.

One of the perks of working on Madison Avenue.

Did you really do that ad with the Rottweiler and the Rockettes?

- I won an ESKEE for that.

- Ooh!

I feel like I've got a little Rockette of my own in here.

Or maybe a little New York knickerbocker.

If you guys come to visit, we can all go to a game.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

I took a bite of the Big Apple once.

The big city left a bad taste in my mouth.

I feel the same way about small towns.

You've never lived in Middleton.

And I never will.

- Sorry I'm late.

- Stephanie, this is my cousin, Abigail.

The one who did the ad with the Rottweiler and the Rockettes?

- She won an ESKEE for that.

- Oh!

Nice to meet you.

[GIGGLING]

That's quite a rock.

- [MARTHA GASPS]

- Oh.

Wes just surprised me.

That is so exciting!

- [GIGGLING]

- Ooh!

Now, that is even more exciting.

- [CASSIE SIGHS]

- You must be over the moon.

It's amazing how in love I am, and...

- we haven't even met yet.

- Oh!

As long as we're riding the rails of nostalgia, I was hoping you wonderful ladies could help me provide my daughter-in-law a celebration with the same je ne sais quoi.

I'm dubbing it the Day of Claire.

- Ooh!

- The last day that will truly be hers for the next years.

Goes by in a blink.

Count me in.

Wonderful!

I was thinking each of you could pop by throughout the day and just shower Claire with kindness.

Well, I'll have to pop first before Grace gets home.

- Ooh!

- Our world traveller!

[INHALES SHARPLY]

Studying abroad must be a real adventure.

L'Académie des friandises is still there.

And I am still here.

Silver lining: I wouldn't have here if I had gone there.

Well, I, for one, can't imagine

- Middleton without the Bistro.

- Oh.

Could you imagine it without my flower shop?

I'm hoping that's a hypothetical.

Flower Universe asked if it was for sale.

[MARTHA GASPS]

Perish the rose petals!

We don't want a generic chain like that

- in our whimsical little burgh!

- Scary.

- Oh!

You're telling me.

- No.

It's scary I actually

- agree with you.

- It just tickles my fancy to know you've come to love our quaint quarters.

What I would love is for Donovan's breakfast bagel

- to be ready.

- [BELL DINGS]

Ask and ye shall receive.

In that case, I have a favour to ask.

- Anything.

- I have some pottery supplies I'm donating to the Learning Annex, and I know

- you pick up dough next door.

- Consider it donated.

- Text from Grace.

- [PHONE NOTIFICATION SOUNDS]

[SAD MUSIC]

- She's not coming home.

- Is she all right?

Yeah, yeah.

She's great.

Um, she...

got a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to intern at a fashion house in Milan.

- Oh, that's amazing!

- Yeah, that's my girl.

[CLICK]

She'll call later with details.

[PHONE TAPS COUNTER]

[SOFT MUSIC]

- So let me get this straight.

- Please.

- You've got no job.

- Check.

- You got no mission.

- Check.

Check.

- And you got no Stephanie.

- Triple check.

- You are a hot mess.

- Wow.

You really know

- how to lift a guy's spirits.

- [SAM CHUCKLES]

Well, if it helps, we all miss you around here.

I miss bein' here.

How's that new chaplain?

She's great.

I mean, she's not you.

[INHALES DEEPLY]

I'm kind of not me right now.

[SOFT MUSIC]

I brought you a breakfast bagel with extra...

turkey bacon.

I brought him a breakfast bagel with real bacon.

Perfect timing.

I was just telling Daniel he's gotta get back on the DC horse.

Yeah.

That horse was put out to pasture.

You hit the wrong button on an email.

I sent our entire campaign strategy to half of DC.

- Accidents happen.

- This was the Titanic.

Well, if you're not gonna go back for work, you should at least go back for Quinn.

It's gonna take a minute for everyone to cool off, including Quinn.

And you're gonna spend that minute here.

You're still planning on running for governor, right?

At some point, but I don't need a campaign manager yet.

No, but you do need a social media presence.

And you wanna be the guy to make that happen.

- You know what?

- Please.

- He's right.

- He is?

If you establish a presence now, let the people get to know the real you, build your followers, it'll increase your appeal when you actually announce you're running.

- You know what?

- We know.

[LIGHT MUSIC]

- Oh!

Watch out!

- Whoa!

Oh!

Nice move, Evel Knievel.

- [STEPHANIE SIGHS]

- That's pretty funny.

Well, at least one of us is amused.

No.

I think it's funny you think that I know who Evel Knievel is.

[LAUGHING]

You know what?

Don't buy into the hype.

You're not that cute.

I think I prefer rugged.

And I would prefer not to be run over on the sidewalk.

- I'm fine, by the way.

- Well, you're welcome.

- I'm welcome?!

- Yeah!

Less skilled rider, I couldn't have stopped.

Hm.

You know...

if you wanna stay cute... you should wear a helmet.

Look who's buying into the hype!

[CHUCKLES]

Thanks for helping me clean up!

[HUFFS]

[INTRIGUING MUSIC]

[DOOR CREAKS]

Oh!

Thank you.

- You sure it fell under here?

- I'm sure I'm not sure.

Ah!

No lipstick...

but I did find this.

Ooh!

My butterfly brooch!

I thought it had flown away.

My hero.

- [CLATTER]

- Ooh!

- Ow!

- Ow is right!

That is solid hickory!

We should get that looked at.

- My knee or the desk?

- Oh!

I'm glad to see you haven't lost your sense of humour.

- I'm fine.

- Better safe than sorry.

- I'll call Dr.

Montgomery.

- Like I said, I'm fine.

[SOFTLY]: Ah...

People who are fine don't wince like that.

- Put the phone away, Martha.

- What is going on, Tom?

- You're worrying me.

- Well, there's nothing to worry about.

Just...

I'm just not Dr.

Montgomery's patient.

But you see him every year.

Because we play golf.

So when he said that you were in excellent shape...

He was talking about my swing.

Thomas Tinsdale!

When was the last time you were examined by a physician off the fairway?

Uh...

right before we got married.

But that was years ago!

- I don't like doctors.

- And I don't like spinach, but I still put it in my smoothie every morning!

I am making you an appointment for a physical.

- NO!

Martha.

- Tom.

I don't think I've ever heard you string those two words together before.

I'm putting my foot down on this one.

[SOFT MUSIC]

- [DOOR CREAKS]

- [BELLS JINGLE]

[VEHICLE DRIVES PAST]

Ooh!

Those are pretty.

- They're for you.

- Aw, that's so sweet.

I thought you could use a little pick-me-up.

That's very nice.

I have the perfect vase.

- So have you talked to Grace?

- Not a word.

Hm.

Taking that internship was a big decision.

Yeah.

It was a really big decision.

One that she made without you.

Yeah.

That's, uh, what I raised her to do.

But it still isn't easy.

No.

[CASSIE SIGHS]

I'm sorry.

[CASSIE SIGHS]

- Mine or yours?

- Yours.

- [PHONE NOTIFICATION SOUNDS]

- [CLICK]

It's an offer from Flower Universe.

Oh.

I thought you told them you didn't want to sell.

Apparently, they didn't listen.

Well, they seem to be getting your attention.

They got more than that.

- Wow!

- Yeah.

I just sold my flower shop.

[SOFT MUSIC]

Fancy meetin' you here, kid.

George!

I had a feeling you had a soft spot for the Almighty.

Have I spent a lot of Sundays as an usher!

Amazing what you can find when you wander around aimlessly.

- This is a great little church.

- One of a kind.

I got hitched here a lifetime ago.

I miss seeing these pews nice and full.

Folks stopped coming?

No, just the opposite.

She was bursting at the seams.

- Ah.

- They built a new one on Blue Ridge Drive about years ago.

- Ah.

- I still come by once a month, keep her nice and tidy.

I'm sure she appreciates it.

It's the least I can do.

[SOFT MUSIC]

Maybe I could join you next time, if you don't mind.

I don't mind at all, kid, but there won't be a next time.

The land was sold and this place is about to take a wrecking ball right in the old bread basket.

I know the feeling.

Come on.

Let's enjoy her while we can.

[GEORGE CHUCKLES]

[SOFT MUSIC]

Can't wait to hear about Milan.

Call me when you can.

I'm really proud of you, honey.

I love you.

You didn't have to leave me a message.

- I'm right here.

- You're home for lunch.

- Maybe.

- You're home to check on me.

- Definitely.

- I'm fine.

You know, I remember dropping Nick off the first day of kindergarten.

That kid...

- was raring to go.

- Hm.

And I was raring to take him home.

The fearless Sam Radford?

Sam Radford was terrified.

And for good reason.

Nick fell and scraped his knee.

So your worst fears were realized.

- Oh, I feel better already.

- Do I interrupt your stories?

- My stories are encouraging.

- I'm getting there.

[CASSIE CHUCKLES]

Nick asked the teacher for some antiseptic and a Band-Aid.

- [SAM CHUCKLES]

- Oh.

You taught him well.

Mmhm.

I taught him well.

[CASSIE SIGHS]

Very intuitive, Dr.

Radford.

Well, hang around with me for a while.

Maybe it'll rub off on you.

[CASSIE SIGHS]

[DOORBELL DINGS]

Wow!

I guess you really went through with it.

You're looking at the newest member

- of the Flower Universe family.

- You should have called me.

I could've got you another zero on that cheque.

Another zero wouldn't fit on that cheque.

I'm gonna miss this place.

But you're going to love my new place.

Your ESKEE Award?

I won this working for someone else.

And now, I'm going to win one with my own agency.

You never mentioned wanting your own agency.

I hadn't thought about it in a long time.

A big cheque will certainly jog your memory.

That... and a future husband headed for the Governor's Mansion.

You take on Pennsylvania Avenue, and I'll take on Madison Avenue.

I have no doubt you'll have a shelf full of these.

[CAMERA CLICKS]

What are you doing?

Taking the perfect sh*t.

Your followers are gonna love this.

My followers will never see that.

That's the whole point.

How else are you gonna boost your social media presence?

sh*ts of me at my desk, working on the budget,

- on Council meetings...

- Snore fest!

Snore fest!

Major snore fest!

People wanna see you out jogging, eating a slice of pizza, kissing your fiancée.

Let me explain this.

Um, no, no and definitely no.

You wanna help me out here?

You were on board with this.

I was not on board with this.

That picture better not end up online.

Then don't plan on showing up at the Governor's Mansion 'cause this is how the game is played.

[TENSE MUSIC]

Fine.

I won't post the picture.

[LIGHT MUSIC]

Yoo-hoo!

Paging Dr.

Radford.

- Everything OK, Martha?

- Do you have a sec?

- If you walk with me.

- Ooh, we're on the move.

Just like Grey's Anatomy.

[SAM LAUGHS]

- What's on your mind?

- What would you tell a man who hasn't seen a doctor in years?

- I'd tell him to see a doctor.

- I knew it!

Well, it's not exactly the riddle of the Sphinx.

Well, here's a riddle for you.

What small town mayor's husband is going to need medical attention when I get through with him?

Tom really hasn't seen a doctor in years?

Apparently, he's more interested in his tee sh*t than his flu sh*t.

- Did he say why?

- He said nothing!

He hasn't been this stubborn since Halloween of ' .

He refused to be Sonny to my Cher.

- Something about a moustache.

- I had a moustache in ' .

- Oh!

- Not a good look.

Oh.

Neither is Tom missing his yearly physical.

Look, if you can't get him to go to the doctor, the doctor will go to him.

You'll really make a house call?

I'll even take him a lollipop.

Oh!

Thank you.

[MARTHA CHUCKLES]

I thought you weren't looking to meet anyone.

I wasn't looking.

That's why he almost ran me over.

Well, at least it was a happy accident.

[STEPHANIE CHUCKLES]

I'm just happy that I'm finally going to be able to say more in French

- than bouillabaisse and brioche.

- Well...

since you're trying new things, I thought you might like

- to take the first swing.

- Oh!

[JOY CHUCKLES]

OK.

Now, what?

OK.

So you are gonna

- aim...

right here.

- OK.

And just...

hit it as hard as you can.

- OK.

- OK.

Here it goes!

[CLANK]

YES!

Oh.

[WATER RUNNING]

Well, it felt good.

Just didn't sound very good.

Yeah, it sounded like you hit a pipe.

[STEPHANIE SIGHS]

Oops.

We usually try to avoid the term oops in renovation.

- [STEPHANIE SIGHS]

- Well...

should I call the fire department?

Um...

well...

- [SQUEAKING, WATER STOPS]

- I think we're good.

Oh.

- [SQUEAK]

- Oops.

I thought we didn't say oops in renovation.

I think my bracelet's caught on something.

- What should we do?

- I'm open to suggestions.

OK.

Well, let me break you free.

WHOA!

Take two steps back and put down the sledgehammer.

- Right.

- Right.

OK.

OK.

I hate to say it, but I think you're gonna have to break your bracelet.

What?

No!

I'd rather you pick up that sledgehammer.

- This bracelet was my mom's.

- I'm sorry.

- [CLANKING]

- [JOY GRUNTS]

Well, at least I had it for all of two hours.

[CREAKING]

Sorry, Mom.

[SIGHS AND GRUNTS]

And what's the verdict?

Well, it's not my bracelet.

My arm is stuck.

Looks like I am calling the fire department.

[SIGHS]

Oh...

- [SIGHS]

- [RECEDING FOOTSTEPS]

[GROANS]

[SOFT MUSIC]

We're gonna do yoga to stretch you.

- A facial to relax you.

- And a gourmet repas to comfort you.

This really is a Day of Claire.

[SOBS]

- Oh!

- Everything OK?

- Everything's wonderful.

- I can tell.

Oh, it's just her hormones hopping.

- Like a bunny.

- If it makes you feel any better, I got emotional every time

- the mail was delivered.

- She still does.

Oh, you guys really are the best.

I'm gonna miss having all this support.

You'll have our Dylan.

Oh, and he's wonderful, but he'll be back on the road in a few weeks.

Perhaps Grandmama can drop in and lighten your load.

That's sweet, but Grandmama has a city to run!

You could always move to Middleton.

- Why didn't I think of that?!

- I'm not a small town girl.

Oh, I remember someone else who said the same thing.

- Mm.

- You really did?

- You've gotta be kidding me!

- I...

I was just asking.

Sorry, not you.

It's my soon-to-be brother-in-law.

He posted the picture he wasn't supposed to?

- I smell damage control.

- I'm sorry.

I have to go deal with this.

I'll see you later.

Let the pampering proceed!

[LAUGHING]

- Doing OK?

- Uh, if by OK you mean fully embarrassed and wishing this was over, then yeah, I'm doing OK.

Hang in there.

We're almost done.

OK.

Now, when the drywall comes off, don't just pull your arm out.

I need to make sure you're not hurt.

Just my pride.

OK.

I understand you're trying to make light of the situation, but I do need to make sure you're not in any pain.

OK.

I'm not.

OK.

So I'm going to gently guide your arm out.

OK...

Let's make sure you're OK.

Can you feel me touching your fingertips?

- Mmhm.

I can.

- Let's see you move your arm.

I'm good.

- How good?

- Good enough for you to go to your French class.

OK?

- Are you sure?

- Yes, go!

Thanks!

OK.

And thank you.

And thank you.

And I am going to leave coffee and apple pie for you both on the counter.

- Bye!

- Oh, so that's the trick.

- To what?

- Making you smile.

Look back and smile on perils past.

Mm.

Good advice.

I can't take credit.

It's Walter Scott.

Here's where I have a decision to make.

If I admit I don't know who that is, you might think less of me.

Or...

I might think more of you.

Honesty is the best policy.

Benjamin Franklin.

That one I know.

- You a history buff?

- Literature buff.

- I was an English major in college.

- And now, you fight fires.

Keeps me from writing a cheesy romance novel.

- [SOFT MUSIC]

- [BOTH CHUCKLE]

You're an interesting one, Firefighter...

Taylor.

- Zoe.

- Joy.

- Date of birth, Joy?

- Didn't see that coming.

I need it for my report.

Uh, you know, I was sort of hoping that maybe we could just keep this little incident between us?

...

... .

[STEPHANIE GASPS]

That was my foot!

My bad.

[SIGHS HEAVILY]

Well, at least you're wearing a helmet this time.

You're still buying into the hype, huh?

- Wow.

- Guess that's a yes.

- Guess again.

- So...

you hear anything about this teacher?

I hadn't heard anything about this class up until three hours ago.

You hear anything about this teacher?

I hear he is...

unconventional.

Hm.

Well, it says here that he lived in Paris for five years, so I bet he knows what he's talking about.

You know, you're probably right.

[GASPS]

You're catching on.

Ahem!

Bonjour, mes étudiants.

Je m'appelle...

Professeur Sean.

[PLAYFUL MUSIC]

[CHUCKLES]

Ahem.

Your brother went back on his word.

That doesn't surprise me.

You keeping your eyes open while we kiss?

That's unexpected.

I don't always.

Why are you so calm about this?

I'm not calm.

I'm just...

relieved he's not actually here right now.

- Deena Jones.

- Who?

My volleyball teammate and shadow all senior year.

I couldn't shake her.

By spring break, I broke.

I might break before the weekend.

And we've come so far, and now, I just want Daniel far away.

You're kind of caught between a rock and your brother.

Maybe, like you say, I just need to...

tell him what's bothering me.

You do listen to what I say.

I know it's not easy to tell someone they're getting

- on your nerves.

- No, but it's necessary.

You should probably take that call.

[PHONE RINGING]

Mayor Davenport.

Councilman.

What can I do for you?

It's been a while.

[MYSTERIOUS MUSIC]

I had a thought.

I hope it's a three-letter word for...

"just throwin' it out there." IMO.

- Is that a real word?

- Yeah!

It's an acronym for in my opinion.

- That's pretty slick, Padre.

- Now, let me just throw this out there.

If we could get our little church declared an historical landmark...

Then the wrecking ball wouldn't be able to touch her.

It's worth a sh*t.

IMO, that's a heck of an idea, kid.

You got any idea how to go about it?

No clue... but I know someone who might.

Start by going side to side.

Right... to left.

- Slow, gentle breaths...

- [DISTANT CHAINSAW ROARING]

Oh!

Well, there's nothing gentle about that racket.

- Gardeners?

- Tree trimmers.

I forgot to reschedule.

I'll go and tell them to keep it down.

- [CASSIE CHUCKLES]

- Uh...

How do you lower the volume on a chainsaw?

Never underestimate Martha.

I learned that a long time ago.

OK.

You ready for our first position?

I am.

I, uh...

[INHALES DEEPLY]

I guess we'll find out how the baby feels.

OK.

Let's get into goddess pose.

[INHALES DEEPLY]

How's this?

It's perfect.

Oh, let's get a picture for Dylan.

- Yeah?

OK.

- Heh!

Oh..

[CASSIE SIGHS]

Oh, is everything OK?

[CASSIE INHALES DEEPLY]

Yeah, I...

I missed a call from my daughter.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I...

I didn't even hear it ring.

- Do you wanna call her back?

- No.

Uh, she texted.

She's gonna try me later, so.

All right.

Let's get that picture.

Heh heh.

- [SOFT MUSIC]

- Aw!

- [CAMERA CLICKS]

- Aw, look at the goddess glow!

- Dylan's gonna love that.

- Oh.

Dylan's gonna be a great dad.

And you're gonna be a great mom.

- Am I?

- Of course.

- That worry you're feeling?

- Hm.

- It never goes away.

- Oh!

Well, that's comforting.

[CLAIRE LAUGHS]

It actually is.

You know, it...

- it shows how much you care.

- Mmhm.

Do you...

still worry about your daughter?

Now come out of tadasana... and into goddess pose.

[SOFT MUSIC]

Mom, your hips need to be lower.

Now, exhale and let all your worries go.

[GRACE EXHALES HEAVILY]

- I will always worry.

- Ah.

Yeah.

But...

I know I've taught her well.

Pincée de sel.

Pincée de sel.

Pinch of salt.

Une moitié citron vert.

Moitié citron vert.

Half a lime zest.

C'est bon!

Not bad.

Your first lesson, you guys just learned the recipe for a crème brûlée that can really only be described as...

[KISS]

Actually, if...

I could just interrupt for a second, um, I would hold off on using the...

[KISS]

Um, a chef's kiss is reserved, for an exceptional recipe.

[SEAN CHUCKLES]

You don't think this recipe qualifies?

Um...

What qualifies you to qualify this recipe?

Well, I happen to own the Bistro.

- You mean le Bistro.

- I mean, uh, the place with the best crème brûlée this side of the Atlantic.

And...

and I can tell you with absolute certainty that lime zest, uh, excuse my English, citron vert, uh, has no place in crème brûlée.

Well, I applaud your pronunciation.

I'll just have to let Gaspard Mercier

- know about your concerns.

- Who?

I worked at his patisserie when I lived in Avignon.

Oh.

Well, next time you get Gaspard on the line, uh, maybe you could let him know that sea salt is much better than table salt.

[SCATTERED CHUCKLING]

Well, I'll never argue with a lady.

This assignment is to make Gaspard's recipe, not your recipe, and to do so using French.

Hm.

How about I make both recipes, and then we let the class decide?

- Huh?

- [INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Well, Gaspard always loved a good challenge.

And...

et moi aussi.

And so do I.

Martha got to you.

What, can't a guy just drop by for a friendly visit?

Not with a doctor's bag.

Well, like any good medicine man, I come prepared.

[THOMAS SIGHS]

What, were you expecting a stethoscope?

I know what you're doing, Radford.

Trying to get me to drop my guard so you can shove a tongue depressor down my throat.

Well, I'd rather shove some ice into a glass.

What do you say?

As long as you keep your hands where I can see them.

[SAM CHUCKLES]

You know it's, uh, it's nothing personal, right?

Oh, of course.

I don't like doctors either.

They're always trying to help other people.

Dedicating their lives to extending yours.

Swooping in in the nick of time to save you.

You know,

- they're the worst.

- I don't expect you to understand.

You're one of them.

[SIGHS]

I'm also somebody who cares about you, just like Martha and Dylan.

Don't you wanna make sure you're around

- for your new granddaughter?

- Of course!

But if it ain't broke, don't go to the doctor.

I must've missed that day at med school.

Look, I appreciate the pep talk.

- And the medicine.

- But you're not budging.

I'm glad we finally understand each other.

[SAM SIGHS]

I'm sorry to crash your Day of Claire, but we're hoping for a little divine intervention.

Well, I have been known to work miracles.

Not to toot my own horn, but toot toot!

Maybe before we start tooting, we should talk turkey.

Gobble away, boys.

Time's a-ticking.

We're trying to save the little steeple church.

Somebody bought the land, and they wanna knock it down.

Well, that's unfortunate!

It's such a wonderful wealth of Middleton memories.

But do any of them qualify it as a historical landmark?

I'm afraid not.

While the memories are magnificent, none of them are culturally significant.

- Not even my wedding?

- Only if you were a president, a king or a reality star.

- Can't you find a loophole?

- I really am sorry.

Looks like it's not meant to be, George.

[CHAINSAW ROARING]

I said to put those saws on silent!

It's time for them to pack it on up and move on down the road!

You know, you could always move your little church on down the road.

[INTRIGUING MUSIC]

[SOFT MUSIC]

[ZOE SIGHS]

And you thought figuring out the best way to save someone was

- a tough decision.

- [ZOE CHUCKLES]

Well, truth be told, you are the first human we've had to save in a while.

OK.

I'm gonna need some clarification.

Well...

Middleton is more...

cats stuck in trees than contractors stuck in walls.

Glad I could bring some excitement to your day.

I never said the cats weren't exciting.

OK.

Admit it.

Some of these stories are gonna end up in your cheesy romance novel one day.

Not all of them.

Don't worry.

I'll change your name.

How about Gretchen?

You came up with that pretty quick.

Yeah.

I was gonna be Gretchen the Great when I ran off and joined the circus.

And what exactly was Gretchen going to be great at?

Ah...

I had dreams of flying through the air.

I get it.

I'm actually training to get my pilot's license.

Did I mention you're an interesting one, Firefighter Taylor?

Well, knowing how to fly a plane isn't gonna help me figure out what faucet to buy.

Well, since you rescued me, maybe I can return the favour.

Um, mm!

I've put...

this one in a lot of kitchens.

- Haven't had one complaint.

- Sold.

- [BOTH LAUGHING]

- [MAN]: [ENGINE ]

[WE'VE GOT A NON-EMERGENCY RESPONSE CODE ]

- [ON MAPLE DRIVE.]

- Cat in a tree?

- Toe in a toy.

- Oh.

This is Taylor.

Copy that.

En route.

Thanks for the faucet advice.

Yeah, anytime.

[SOFT MUSIC]

OK.

It's swinging up and down.

Snips and snails and puppy dogs' tails, you are definitely having a little boy.

No, wait.

Now, it's going side to side.

Oh!

Well, the pencil stands corrected.

Sugar and spice and everything nice...

And that's what little girls are made of.

What are little Merriwicks made out of?

OK.

Who's ready for cupcakes and lemonade?

- Oh, yes!

- Ah, ah, ah, ah!

This is the Day of Cassie, so allow me to bring you treats so you can

- stay off your feet.

- Oh.

Hm!

My feet thank you.

- [MARTHA CHUCKLES]

- Uh, there is one other thing

- I'd like to ask you to do.

- Anything!

While I'm on maternity leave, I'd like you to sit in as mayor.

Anything but that.

I think it would be right up your alley.

Running a wedding is up my alley.

Running a town is...

I have a feeling you'd be perfect.

Mayor Martha Tinsdale.

Hm!

Has sort of a melodic ring to it.

Hm!

I think you were just sworn in.

- It's time?!

- It's time!

LADIES!

May I have your attention, please?

The mother-to-be is

- about to be a mother.

- Ooh!

What?

Like, as in...

right now?

- Uh-huh!

- What do we do?

- Should I boil water?

- Well, the first thing you two should do is take a deep breath.

Now, Stephanie, you bring the party favours to the guests.

Abigail, you bring the car around, and I'll bring Mama.

All right, Mama.

Ready to Lamaze?

Yeah.

[RHYTHMIC BREATHING]

[RHYTHMIC BREATHING]

This can't be happening.

- Oh, it's happening.

- But she's not due for a week!

Don't worry.

Her timing is perfect.

- But Dylan's not here yet!

- Oh, she's right!

- Dylan's not here yet!

- I have him on the line.

- He's an hour away.

- AN HOUR?!

He'll never make it.

- He'll make it!

- Tell him to meet us at the hospital.

Oh!

- [DISTANT LOUD THUD]

- Ah!

Nobody panic...

but there's a giant elm blocking all the cars in the driveway.

Ah!

[RHYTHMIC BREATHING]

- OK.

- All right.

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

All right, look.

Bottom line: I was doing what I thought was best for Donovan's career.

But I realized it wasn't cool to go against your wishes.

- He took the photo down.

- Hm.

- What, no thank you?

- Actually, you're about to thank me.

Can't wait for this.

If he doesn't want the job, you can give it to someone else.

Someone else would probably appreciate it more.

Anybody else would appreciate it more.

- Are you two done?

- Are we?

Depends how he feels about running a campaign again.

- Whose campaign?

- Councilman Terrell Cleggs.

- Never heard of him.

- But you've heard of Winslow.

You want me to run a city council campaign

- in Winslow?

- Of course not.

I want you to run his mayoral campaign there.

That's the minor leagues, bro!

Right now, you're not even in the ballpark.

But if you crush this campaign?

You might get your swagger back.

And then you can take another run at the big leagues.

[INHALES DEEPLY]

A man does need his swagger.

Be a shame if yours went to waste.

- Mm!

- Well?!

Um... so this one was... smooth.

It was creamy.

It was good.

[STEPHANIE CHUCKLES]

But this one was amazing.

It has, like, a...

Like, I don't even know how to describe it.

Like a...

- A zest?

- Yes!

A zest!

That's the word.

[STEPHANIE SIGHS]

Citron vert est le mot.

Wow.

That's pretty good for only one class.

- What does that mean?

- It means my class gets to eat crème brûlée, and I get to eat crow.

- [STEPHANIE SIGHS]

- [RHYTHMIC BREATHING]

That's it.

You're doing great.

- [RHYTHMIC BREATHING]

- How's Claire?

Where is Dylan?

Why is that ambulance taking so long?

Claire's great.

Dylan's close.

And the ambulance?

- Not gonna make it in time.

- Oh!

Grandmama might not make it either!

Should I boil water?

- Only if you want tea.

- OK.

Let's get back to breathing.

Let's let Sam get back to Claire.

Look what the stork dragged in!

Are you OK, Mom?

- Oh, never better!

- You two can catch up later.

I think your wife would love to see you.

I can't believe I'm about to be a dad!

- [RHYTHMIC BREATHING]

- [SOFT MUSIC]

[STEPHANIE SIGHS]

You're early.

I would prefer to do this without an audience.

I thought you wanted an audience.

Something about your recipe being better than Gaspard's?

Gaspard's a genius.

Is that what you're waiting to hear?

Using citron vert

- was très bien.

- [SEAN CHUCKLES]

Now, you saying that in perfect French?

That is très bien.

[STEPHANIE INHALES DEEPLY]

I know that we got off on the wrong foot.

Well, it didn't help that I ran over your foot.

Oh, no.

A peace offering.

Oh, come on!

I would never mar the sanctity of my maple bacon donuts just to exact revenge.

Ah.

Très bien, oui?

That's not the word I would choose.

I would choose your next words carefully.

[SOFT MUSIC]

I choose a kiss.

[STEPHANIE CHUCKLES]

[UPLIFTING MUSIC]

I think she has your eyes, Martha.

Oh!

As long as she has my penchant for designer handbags...

I see many shopping sprees ahead for Grandmama and little...

Martha?

Mom, we've given this a lot of thought...

Yeah.

And Dylan and I agree there really is only one

- Martha Tinsdale.

- And I wouldn't have it any other way.

And we wouldn't want any other name than...

Tommy.

[MARTHA GASPS]

Oh, my.

- What an honour!

- [CLAIRE SIGHS]

I don't know what to say.

But I definitely know what to do.

I'm gonna call Dr.

Montgomery's office tomorrow, make an appointment for a physical.

- Tom...

- Well, I gotta be around to take you and my granddaughter on all those shopping sprees.

Uh, how about we start with some babysitting?

After yesterday, we realized it really does take a village, and there's no better village than Middleton.

[MARTHA GASPS]

NO!

- [CLAIRE LAUGHS]

- No!

I guess I'm a small-town girl after all.

- Oh!

- Is it OK if we stay with you guys until we find a place of our own?

- Oh!

- I've got a feeling your mother

- could be persuaded.

- [DYLAN CHUCKLES]

[LIGHT MUSIC]

- Gretchen the Great.

- [JOY CHUCKLES]

Well, um, achieving greatness requires

- many social media breaks.

- Benjamin Franklin.

One of his lesser-known quotes.

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

Couldn't resist another piece of that apple pie.

- Good guess.

- Well, we all have our superpowers.

And yours is knowing baked goods?

- Something like that.

- [BOTH CHUCKLE]

Hey, uh, I went back after work, and I got

- that faucet you recommended.

- Oh!

Good!

How do you like it?

Looks great in the box.

I just need to find a good plumber.

Well, how about a good contractor?

I can put it in for you.

Oh, I...

I couldn't ask you to do that.

Well, you didn't.

I offered.

Oh, uh, here.

- Where's my card?

- [JOY SIGHS]

Give me a call...

when you're ready.

[DOORBELL RINGS]

[DONOVAN SIGHS]

Aren't you supposed to be putting things into the box?

[ABIGAIL SIGHS]

Seller's remorse?

Flower Universe is having buyer's remorse.

They found a more desirable location, and they rescinded

- the offer.

- That's ridiculous.

That's one word for it.

Feel like helping me unpack?

Sure.

I know you're gonna win one of these at your own agency.

And the ESKEE Award goes to...

Abigail Pershing!

[ABIGAIL GASPS]

I'd like to thank my fiancé, Donovan Davenport.

I definitely wouldn't be up here without him.

We make a good team.
