07x08 - The Sprint

[bunniefuu]

Previously on Good Witch.

Ah!

- (GROANS)
- you ok?

Well, the good news is it's not a rupture.

You don't seem like a man who just got cleared.

(SAM): What if I'm not the same?

This is my second wedding I booked today that's cancelled.

I wanted you to know I'm opening a Flower Universe kiosk.

You know that flower w*r you didn't want?

- Well, you just got it.
- (JOY): The images used to just

pop into my head, but now they're invading my dreams.

"Beware the...

Zenith of the red haloed moon."

(MYSTERIOUS MUSIC)

(ABIGAIL): "Beware the zenith of the red haloed moon."

As the phases of the moon go, we're in a waxing gibbous.

Can you "gibbous" a little more information?

- Don't snap at George.
- Don't snap at joy!

- Don't snap at me!
- Easy, kids.

We have to stick together.

- What just happened?
- (JOY SIGHS)

I think the red haloed moon just happened.

We have less than a week 'til it reaches its zenith.

- Meaning what?
- Meaning we gotta find

- find that second amulet.
- The one that Patience

- and William took with them?
- We don't know that for sure.

We know it wasn't in the hope chest.

But we still don't know if it's in Grey House.

I know a way to find out.

I'm gonna need that moon rock that you got in the Middleton exchange.

(INTRIGUING MUSIC)

(SOFT MUSIC)

Morning...

...He said to no one.

(DOOR SHUTS)

Well, you were out early.

Oh, yeah. I, uh, I couldn't sleep,

- so I decided to go for a walk.
- Is something bothering you?

(CASSIE SIGHS)

There is now.
I completely forgot that it's

- your first day back.
- Oh, it's no big deal.

Yes, it is. I feel terrible.

Well, it's no reason to feel terrible.

You could feel a little bad.

Just... Not terrible.

I'm gonna make you some French toast.

Wish I had time.

- (CASSIE SIGHS)
- well... Are you nervous?

You know, I just have to remind myself

I've done this times.

You're gonna be great.

Says the woman who forgot today was even happening.

You're never gonna let me forget that, are you?

Never. See you later.

(RECEDING FOOTSTEPS)

(SIGHS)

(BIRDS CHIRPING)

There's my beautiful bride.

- Happy anniversary.
- Oh!

What's this? I thought we agreed to exchange gifts tonight.

And I thought I'd surprise you.

Well, your surprise is no surprise at all.

Happy anniversary!

- You first.
- Ooh!

(GIGGLES)

- Oh, my.
- Something wrong?

Maybe you shouldn't open yours right now.

- Well, now I want to open it.
- Oh...

Oh, my.

It's really what's on the inside that counts.

"I'm more in love with you than ever.

Infinite hugs and kisses. Martha."

Maybe you shouldn't read yours right now.

"I'm more in love with you than ever.

Infinite hugs and kisses. Tom."

I guess after years of marriage, there's just

- no surprising each other.
- I guess not.

Or maybe there is.

- Open your gift.
- You mean my countess Sofia perfume and my caramel sea salt clusters?

- (CHUCKLES)
- so much for surprising you.

I bet you got me a new tie with whales on it.

Oh, Tom, you're exactly...

...Wrong!

- I am?
- Yes! %.

In fact, I got you the anniversary gift to top all anniversary gifts.

- Ooh! I can't wait.
- Well, you're...

Just gonna have to until tonight.

Then I'll see you tonight.

(MARTHA SIGHS)

- looks intense.
- (DONOVAN): Right.

He's talking to his brother, Daniel.

I thought they hugged it out.

They did, but you never know what Daniel's cooking up.

You won't believe what my brother's cooking up.

Ooh! We're all ears.

Right. I can take a hint.

Is this about Daniel getting himself back to the capital?

It's about getting me to the state capital.

He wants to announce your bid for governor?

He wants me to take over my district's vacant senate seat.

Since when do you wanna be a state senator?

Since about five minutes ago. Daniel's been talking to the committee, and he's almost certain

- their vote will go my way.
- Which would get you one step closer to the governor's mansion.

How do you feel about moving to Springfield?

My... Family is here.

My... My business is here.

But your new husband might be there.

So we would start our marriage living apart?

Well, it's not my first choice, but...

If we have to, I know we could make it work.

I would come home every weekend.

It's not my first choice, but...

I get that this is a great opportunity.

So what are you saying?

I'm saying that I have...

A lot to think about.

(SOFT MUSIC)

Hey.

What do you think? (CHUCKLES)

You're talking about the paint, right?

- You're here for coffee?
- I am here

to ask you out on a second date.

- You don't mess around.
- Better you learn that now.

- Oh, consider it learned.
- (BOTH CHUCKLE)

- Where are you taking me?
- Rock climbing.

Ok! You really don't mess around.

- You think you can handle it?
- engine , we've got

an emergency response. Code in Apple Valley.

This is Taylor. Copy that. En route.

- You're going?
- They need backup on a wildfire.

Apple Valley is an hour from here.

It's what I do.

It's what you do in Middleton.

Engine companies back each other up all the time.

Oh.

Don't worry.

Be careful.

I always am.

(MARTHA): The anniversary gift to top

all anniversary gifts.

And I've got nada. Zilch. Bubkes.

How about a compass?

Only if it'll point me in the right direction this person led quite the adventurous life.

Yeah. He retired from expedition racing and, uh, he's selling off his gear.

Expedition racing? Oh, my!
That sounds exciting.

(GASPS)

And the perfect gift for my Tom!

Oh. I wouldn't have thought of that.

Well, that's why I make the big bucks.

Anyway, lots of planning to do

and no time to do it. Martha out.

(DOOR BELL JINGLES)

- What's shaking, Martha?
- Me, with excitement!

You're not exactly shaking with excitement.

Zoe's going to Apple Valley to help fight a wildfire.

A little more dangerous than getting a cat out of a tree.

I never thought about her actually...

Fighting fires.

I remember when Jake would go to work every day.

Did you ever get used to it?

(CASSIE SIGHS)

I... Learned to accept it.

I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked.

No, it's ok. I'm glad you did.

It's not easy...

But the time I had with Jake meant everything.

Thanks.

Yeah.

♪♪

Académie des friandises.

Wow. You're like a cat.

- I like the focus.
- Well, a friend helped me realize that I needed to zero in on my goals.

- Good friend.
- Great friend.

Unfortunately, I have less than hours to get this in.

Well, can't you fill it out online?

I could... But I'm old school.

I get it.

Well...

How about you dictate, and I'll type?

Old school with a modern twist. I like that.

Mmhm.

What I don't like is this essay question.

Uh... "what is your most meaningful

baking experience?"

I've been staring at it for an hour.

Not optimal.

But I've just never really been a good test taker.

Well, it's not really a test.

No. Just the key to fulfilling my dream.

You may be putting too much pressure on yourself.

How about we ease into it?
Right? We'll start at the top.

- I think I can handle that.
- Uh-oh.

What's uh-oh about filling in my name?

Uh, it says here that you have to be in Paris

for a baking audition tomorrow.

- Uh-oh.
- Mmhm.

How did I miss that?

One of the pitfalls of going old school.

(STEPHANIE SIGHS)

You know, I'd look at this as a speed bump, not a roadblock.

Actually... It's a blessing.

(STEPHANIE CHUCKLES)

Now, I have a year to figure out what to write for this essay.

- Blessing it is.
- Hm!

(LIGHT MUSIC)

(DOTTY): Isn't this a lovely place!

Well, this is a nice surprise.

Thank you!

(INHALES DEEPLY) mm. Tangerine?

- With a hint of lemongrass.
- Ah. Perhaps I should get

Martha and Tom an assortment of soaps for their anniversary.

If you're open to suggestions...

Oh, yes.

- (CASSIE SIGHS)
- this is scented

with lavender and frankincense.

Burning it creates a calming atmosphere.

It inspires open communication.

(INHALES DEEPLY)

Well, it's quite lovely.

Uh, but the words "calm" and "Martha" have never been uttered in the same sentence.

Well, I'm sure we can find the right gift.

Do you think this could work for Davis and I?

I've never known it not to.

It would certainly be nice to get back in sync.

Yeah, well, if it helps, every couple is a little out of sync at some point.

Hm.

Well, I'd say it's fortuitous that I dropped by.

I'll take this,

and a basket of those soaps for Martha and Tom.

Ok.

(PENSIVE MUSIC)

There he is! First surgery back, how you feel?

- Like a Monday.
- Heh. That's what I wanna hear.

Thank you. What I wanna hear is

where we are with the funding on the new MRI suite.

And get up to speed on this new member

of the board of trustees.
And talk about Dr. Berlin's

- extended sabbatical.
- Whoa. Slow down there, super doc. You don't have to dive back in head first.

There's no reason not to.

Look, from one type a to another, I get it.

But you just had a pretty major injury.

Had is the optimum word.

Just do me a favour and don't overdo it.

- You know me better than that.
- I do.

- Oh, man. I'm sorry.
- I'm fine.

- Ok.
- (SAM CHUCKLES)

♪♪

This is the blueprint from when I restored Grey House.

Now, we just need candles in each corner.

(MYSTERIOUS MUSIC)

(GEORGE SIGHS) well, I, uh...

I guess this is where I come in.

Looks like the Middleton exchange really does give you

- what you need.
- We'll light the candles.

♪♪

What have you got up your sleeve, kiddo?

Ah... The principle that opposites attract.

The red haloed moon, being our adversary...

...Will be drawn to the amulet, our protector.

Or, at least, it'll be drawn to where it is on the blueprint.

♪♪

I'm no Merriwick, but, uh...

That looks like all rock and no roll to me.

- Maybe the rock's wrong.
- It's not.

Patience took the amulet with her after all.

(SOMBRE MUSIC)

That's a beautiful arrangement.

Abigail!

What a pleasant surprise.

It shouldn't be.
I've been delivering flowers to city hall every Monday for the last five years.

Not these, of course, but I'm sure you know that already.

Oh! Did I forget to call you?

You did. But, apparently, you didn't forget to call...

Let me guess. Flower Universe?

As mayor, it's my duty to support all of Middleton's businesses, especially the new ones.

Well, since you failed to cancel hours in advance,

I'm charging you anyway. (MARTHA GASPS)

Well, then...
How's this for advance notice?

Consider all my future orders null and void.

- Are you serious?
- What can I say?

Flower Universe made me an offer

I... Couldn't refuse.

What are you watching?

A llama stealing a guy's toupee.

It's pretty late. Busy first day back?

- Nonstop.
- How'd it go?

- Great.
- Hm.

A lot of one-word answers.
That's your tell.

My... Tell?

Usually means the opposite.

Hm.

You're a little sore and... A little tired.

(SAM CHUCKLES)

I am a little sore and a little tired.

(CASSIE SIGHS) you know, you don't have to dive back in head first.

- That's what Grant said.
- Are we right?

No!

I heard it. One word answer.

I want you to make me a promise.

I won't overdo it.

I didn't hear I promise.

(SAM CHUCKLES) I promise.

- Thank you.
- Mmhm.

Now I have a date for the Tinsdales' anniversary event.

- Did I just get played?
- You know me better than that.

I do.

- Show me the llama video.
- (CASSIE CHUCKLES)

(LIGHT MUSIC)

- Ok.
- (SIGHS)

- (CLANK)
- oh, sh...

Somebody's got a serious sweet tooth.

Ha ha! Perfect timing.

Grab a spoon and stir.

Ok. Um...

(ADAM WHISTLES) which one?

- Oh! The chocolate mousse.
- All right.

- That's the cheese soufflé.
- So then what's that?

- That's cherries jubilee.
- I'm so confused.

Well, why don't you just come and mix this opera cake, huh?

I have a better idea. How about we...

How about we put down our implements, and we take a break?

I haven't run bubba in the oven.

- Uh...
- Can I take a guess here?

Not being able to audition for L'académie des Friandises was

not quite the blessing you claimed it was?

(STEPHANIE CHUCKLES)

Turns out it was more of a curse.

(PHONES BEEPING)

- Hm.
- Oh. A text from Martha.

She wants us to come to something called...

A sweetheart sprint.

(PHONES BEEPING)

Aww! It's a secret anniversary surprise for Tom.

She's inviting all their favourite couples. But... but...

- We're...
- (BOTH): Not a couple anymore.

- (BOTH LAUGH)
- (PHONES BEEPING)

"I know you're not a couple anymore, but you're

the sweetest of friends and that certainly counts."

- Is she watching us?
- Yeah.

(STEPHANIE LAUGHS)

- Should we go?
- (PHONE BEEPS)

Ahem.

- It's a... It's a voice message.
- Oh.

(MARTHA): It wouldn't be the same without you.

- (ADAM LAUGHS)
- (PHONE BEEPS)

Good. I'll take those pearly whites as a yes.

Oh! And save me one of those delectable-looking macarons.

- Oh.
- Ok. She is...

- Definitely watching us.
- Oh, definitely.

(DOOR BELL RINGS)

(ABIGAIL): I'll be right out.

What are you doing here?

Obviously, customer service isn't your strong suit.

Probably why your shop's empty.

No. Empty will be when I toss you out.

The gloves don't have to come off.

Are you packing up your little kiosk and moving on?

Oh. This town likes its flowers, which means...

I like this town.

Well, then, we're right back where we started.

What are you doing here?

Looking for a brick-and-mortar location, and...

I still like what yours has to offer.

- It's not for sale.
- Heh. Everything is for sale.

(KEYBOARD CLICKING)

(PHONE BEEPS)

This is % lower than your first offer.

Your shop was a lot more successful

when I made that offer.

This was your end game all along.

- shops and counting.
- Well, I won't be number .

We'll see.

If I walk out,

that next offer will be % lower.

(KEYBOARD CLICKING)

(PHONE BEEPS)

Heh.

I'll take that as a no.

For now.

I think they're playing
good cop, bad cop.

More like bad cop, bad cop.

They're gonna pull the funding.

(SAM SIGHS)

Um... Give me five minutes. I'll meet you in your office.

- Hey, Cassie. Good to see you.
- Hey, Grant. You too.

- Five minutes?
- Yeah.

I forgot to text you, didn't I?

It sounds like you also forgot you made a promise.

Oh, I think the Tinsdales will understand.

Not the Tinsdales you need to worry about.

- I'm fine.
- You're overdoing it.

- It comes with the job.
- It's your second day back.

- What do you want me to do?
- I think that's pretty obvious.

I will try to get out of here as soon as possible.

- But...
- (PAGER BEEPING)

That's the ER. I gotta go.

I'm worried about you.

There's nothing to worry about. I promise.

(BIRDS CHIRPING)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

- (PHONE BEEPS)
- oh!

- Stephanie just texted.
- I knew it.

They've changed their minds.
They're not coming.

- They're just running late.
- Oh! Oh!

The dot is in the driveway! Places, everyone!

- I thought we were?
- Oh. Right.

- (DOOR OPENS)
- well, uh, just look alive.

Come on! Quick, come in

before you ruin the surprise!

Ah. It looks great.

- What's everyone doing here?
- Oh!

Oh, Tom! Why on earth did you come in through the kitchen?

- I had a bag of groceries.
- (MARTHA SIGHS)

- What's all this?
- It's the anniversary gift

that you never saw coming.

(ALL): Surprise!

I certainly am! Uh, what exactly is

a sweetheart sprint?

In my case, it's when Davis runs off to New York. Again.

The inaugural sweetheart sprint is

a couples race across our beloved Middleton.

It's four adventurous events

at four iconic locations

for all the marbles: A fabulous

hot air balloon ride for two.

- (GASPS)
- (GUESTS MURMUR INDISTINCTLY)

I can't believe you did all this.

And I'm very glad you're all here.

But I've got some bad news.

- You're all going down.
- Oh!

That hot air balloon ride is ours!

Well, you heard the man!
Everyone into the great room

- for the first event!
- (GUESTS MURMUR INDISTINCTLY)

Happy anniversary I wish you both many happy returns.

I'll just slip out before the games begin.

And I'll slip with you.
Happy anniversary.

I take it you two are flying solo.

Yeah. It looks like
we're both work widows.

- Mmhm.
- By my calculation,

two solos equals a pair of sweetheart sprinters.

He's right! You two should team up.

I guess there are worse ways to spend the day.

Oh. Well, with an invitation
like that, how could I say no?

Then that's settled.
We're off to the races!

Thank you!

From here, we'll race to Grey House.

Then, to the bistro, the flower shop,

then back to the bistro, where the first team

to fill the waiting loving cup with whipped cream

will be crowned sweetheart sprint champions!

- What do we do at each stop?
- When you arrive

at each location, you'll find the challenges clearly marked

on a card just like the ones in front of you.

"You've heard of scrambled eggs.

How about scrambled quotes?"

"Unscramble this famous quote, put on your coat

"and head to the Grey Castle

- without a moat."
- how lovely!

I'm assuming you picked all the quotes?

Actually, mayor Davenport,

I had my assistant prepare all the quotes so that Tom and I

could participate fairly and squarely.

How will we know when the quote is right?

Ah! I sent you all a link to an app.

When you think you've cracked the quote,

show it to the app, and you will either get a fanfare

or a buzz. The app will be the judge

for all the challenges.
Any other questions?

All right, then! On your marks...

Get set... Unscramble!

Ok. If I had to hazard a guess,

I'd say it starts with "my" or "there."

- Sounds good.
- Sounds to me like you're not

used to attending these couples parties solo.

- Is it that obvious? Heh.
- Only to a seasoned solo flyer.

I'd like to tell you it gets easier.

- Uh, did you light the candle?
- I did.

And did you and Davis get to talk?

We did not. But, to be fair,

the candle had its work cut out for it.

Davis and I...

We've built up quite a wall between us.

My parents spend a lot of time apart,

- and they have a great marriage.
- I hate to break it to you,

but we're not Dotty and Davis.

But we are done with our quote.

"love does not consist in gazing at each other,

but in looking together in the same direction."

Towards Springfield or Middleton?

(FANFARE)

- Are you kidding me?!
- That was fast!

I guess we're in sync.

(WOMAN SIGHS)

So how was Apple Valley?

Took most of the day to get the fire under control.

Sounds pretty big.

Pretty typical.

We headed back to the firehouse afterwards,

played some ping pong, and then Brian made

his three-alarm chili.

I was really worried about you.

- (ADAM): Sorry we're late!
- Yeah. The bistro was packed.

We got the app that you sent us. Where's our quote?

You're over here, padre, next to us.

- All right!
- What are you doing?

I'm arranging the blocks in alphabetical order.

I thought it might help us think more clearly.

Well, I can see clearly that we have

- very different philosophies.
- My philosophy is

- to win your heart.
- Well, if you wanna win my heart,

we'd better win this race.

(CHUCKLES) ok.

(FANFARE)

Son of a biscuit!

Well, you certainly made up for lost time.

- Yeah, well, when you got it...
- You got it. We gotta go.

And I think we're about to get it.

(FANFARE)

Oh! Son of a biscuit!

(ADAM): Ok. Ok.

- Ready?
- Yes, yes, yes.

Oh, yes! Ok, two more.

(PHONE BEEPS)

Are you serious?

Ok. Someone is a little too into the sweetheart sprint.

- I can't believe this guy.
- (DONOVAN SIGHS)

- Parker Jordan?
- Yeah.

He's giving me one more chance to reconsider

- his insulting offer.
- Well, maybe you should.

Why would I do that?

It might make your life easier.

You mean it would make your life easier.

- And here we go...
- Yeah. We can do it.

- Wha...
- Ah, man!

(BOTH LAUGH) oh, no!

Third time's a charm?

This is an exercise in perseverance.

Oh! Which just became this week's sermon.

Hm. Don't get discouraged.

It is often the last key on the ring

- that opens the lock.
- Oh!

That's pretty good. Can I use it?

You'd have to ask Marnie.

- Who?
- Marnie Philips.

I delivered a marble cake to her right after I got my first job

as an apprentice at Swenson's bakery.

And she just gave you a random quote about perseverance?

She gave me quotes about a bunch of stuff.

She was a retired English teacher. Ah!

(STEPHANIE INHALES SHARPLY) anyway, I taught her

how to make that cake. She baked one for her daughter.

They hadn't talked in a few years. And, believe it or not,

that cake is what brought them back together.

Oh, I do believe it.

I've tried your marble cake.

(STEPHANIE GASPS) ok. Don't breathe.

- Just get the app.
- Ok. Ok. Ok.

- (STEPHANIE SQUEALS SOFTLY)
- hands. Hands.

Hands.

- (FANFARE)
- oh!

(BOTH LAUGH)

- (FANFARE)
- it's about time!

Oh! Stop your dilly-dallying, and we can at least

catch up to Cassie and Dotty.

I put on my uniform and go to work,

and... I don't think twice about it.

But when Avery and I would be on different shifts...

She'd walk out the door, and I was a nervous wreck.

But you learned to accept it.

Can you?

(FANFARE)

(GEORGE CHUCKLES)

What do you say, kid?

I say we ease on down the road.

Uh-huh.

Looks like we're decorating cakes!

Oh, those aren't just any cakes.

No. Is that your lemon chiffon?

The very cake I would have made for my baking audition

if I was actually at my baking audition.

(DONOVAN): Ok. Ok.

"Welcome to challenge three. Look at the cake on the counter,

and you'll see exactly how to decorate me."

This is clearly rigged.

Just 'cause she's a professional?

We'll call it even when we get to the flower shop.

- She's got a point.
- All right. Um,

I'll start the icing. You start

the... Flower things.

- What?
- Just think of all the fun

you'll be missing if you move to Springfield.

(JAZZ MUSIC)

- Ok.
- Yeah.

Looks like we have some catching up to do.

I know he's struggling right now, and he's got a lot on his mind.

I remember the first excuse

I made for Davis. That's how it starts.

- Sam.

(OVERLAPPING SHOUTING)

What's going on here?

Oh! Our anniversary sweetheart sprint.

Appreciate you letting us take over your kitchen.

Um, I just forgot my iPad.
I think it's upstairs.

Happy anniversary!

(SOMBRE MUSIC)

Now, ours looks good enough to eat, but yours looks

- too good to eat.
- That belongs in the louvre.

Actually, it belongs at L'académie des Friandises.

They don't know what they're missing.

Maybe I should show them.

(SOFT MUSIC)

You wanna talk about it?

I appreciate that, but your son

and future daughter-in-law have a question for you.

Look, if you don't believe me, ask my mother.

Ask me what?

Your son seems to think that you and Davis don't have

any problems being apart so much in your marriage.

And why are my son and future daughter-in-law discussing this?

Well, I may be moving

to Springfield for a job as a state senator.

Am I to assume you won't be moving with him, Abigail?

We are considering all options.

Well, don't consider the one that keeps you apart.

That's no way

to start a marriage, and it's certainly no way to sustain one.

(DOTTY INHALES DEEPLY)

Your father and I...

We've grown steadily apart

since the first day he hit the road.

♪♪

Oh! Oh.

Thank you, George. (CHUCKLING)

- We make a good team.
- Slow and steady might not

win this race, but it certainly helps you enjoy it more.

Never hurts to stop and smell the muffins.

- (GEORGE CHUCKLES)
- You are a very sweet man.

- Oh. Uh-oh.
- No uh-oh.

Just an explanation.

When I lost my fiancé...

I knew I could never go through that again.

And that meant that...

I could never allow myself to love like that again.

That's a pretty tall order.

You cut yourself off from that part of life,

you may miss out on a lot.

Not if you stop and smell the muffins.

Get it!

- (FANFARE)
- yes!

- (BOTH LAUGH)
- hasta la vista, kiddos!

Oh!

Well, it looks like we are officially in last place.

(JOY CHUCKLES)

You can't accept it. Can you?

No, I can't.

But I'm going to.

(ZOEY SIGHS)

After everything that happened with Avery...

...I was so scared I'd never feel this way again.

(ZOEY SIGHS)

There's something I need to tell you.

Tom! You're like the baby Ruth

- of flower arranging.
- I think you mean Babe Ruth.

- Baby Ruth is a candy bar.
- Oh. Well, either way,

I had no idea you had such a green thumb.

Just not as green as Abigail's.

Apparently, mine's not green enough

to provide flowers for city hall.

I refuse to engage. This is not the time to talk business.

Actually, this is the most business I've had all week.

I haven't arranged my own flowers in quite some time!

- This should be a hoot.
- (MARTHA SIGHS)

All right. Fine.
If you're gonna strong arm me,

you'll get city hall's business for two weeks

out of every month, and flower universe will get the other two.

Well, I wasn't exactly strong-arming you...

But I'll take the deal.

I know you don't want to hear this,

but that's like putting a band-aid on a broken arm.

(PHONE BEEPS)

Ah, it's Catherine!

- Oh!
- Our pots have been fired

- and are ready for pickup.
- Oh, you two take

one of Catherine's classes?

We took her wine and wheelin' workshop.

Now, I had my doubts, but I have to admit,

- it was quite enjoyable.
- (MARTHA): Mm!

- Vino and vases.
- What's vino and vases?

What I'm gonna call my new flower arranging workshop.

Oh! That's very clever!

Very current. My friend Barbara tells me

flower arranging workshops are all the rage.

Sign me up.

Hopefully, I can sign a lot of people up.

(FANFARE)

(BOTH): Son of a biscuit!

Thank you!

Merci! Merci! I...

I cannot tell you how much I appreciate this.

Ok.

I take it she said yes.

After she got over the shock of being woken up at A.M.

- That is amazing!
- (STEPHANIE LAUGHS)

We better get this cake in the mail.

- We have a problem.
- No box?

- No essay.
- All right.

Then let's finish your application.

But... I just...

I still don't know what I'm gonna write about.

Don't be discouraged.

It's often the last key on the ring...

...That opens the lock.

Mmhm.

Marnie.

(STEPHANIE CHUCKLES) all right.

(SOFT MUSIC)

Can I ask you something?

If pie and ice cream is called pie a la mode,

why is cake and ice cream just called cake and ice cream?

I never thought about that.

Hang around with me long enough, kid,

you'll start to think of these sort of things.

(PLAYFUL MUSIC)

(DONOVAN PANTS)

Shall we?

(DONOVAN LAUGHS)

Oh!

Congratulations! You are officially the first sweetheart sprint champions.

- Woo!
- Sounds like we have a winner!

Well, and I am proud to present to you both

two tickets for a glorious

hot air balloon ride over our beloved Middleton.

Actually, those belong to you.

We all decided, no matter who won,

we wanted the anniversary couple to have the tickets.

Oh, what a wonderful surprise!

There may be one more.

While you were preparing the sprint for me,

I was working on a little something for you.

- Come on.
- Oh, my!

Would you all care to join us by the curtain, please?

Ok. I am so excited

to share with all of you the official unveiling

of the joy Harper redesigned and renovated restaurant!

Ooh! (CHEERING)

Ok. Well, wait to see what you think about it first.

Ok. Here goes!

(MARTHA): Oh, my!

- It's lovely!
- (CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

We have the honour of being the first to celebrate here.

I never would have predicted this.

(LIGHT MUSIC)

- Mm!
- Ah.

Hey! Where's the other half of sassie?

That's their 'ship name? I love it.

I'm gonna get some hors d'oeuvres.

(SOFT LAUGHING)

Why didn't you tell me how hard it was

for you with dad away so much?

Why didn't you tell me you were considering becoming

- a state senator?
- You're changing the subject.

We didn't want you or your brother to have to worry.

And I don't wanna have to worry about you two.

Promise me

you won't enter this marriage living apart.

I promise you we'll take what you said seriously.

Do better than that.

It's been a long day.

I'm gonna go.

(PENSIVE MUSIC)

- (FANFARE)
- (GEORGE LAUGHS)

- We finally did it!
- Can I ask you something?

Anything.

Will you go steady with me?

I thought you'd never ask, kid.

Oh!

(SENTIMENTAL MUSIC)

Those look good.

- Ok. What's wrong?
- Is that a real question?

- Cassie, I had to work.
- Did you?

Do you really wanna do this here?

No. Well, there's nothing to do. You broke a promise.

Why can't you just accept the fact that I'm fine?

- Because you're not!
- Ah. That's right.

Cassie nightingale knows everything.

(ZOEY): So what happened?

Charlotte is a...

Hotshot divorce lawyer.

She worked... A lot.

Which meant that I was alone a lot.

And...

I got close to one of my clients.

And you kissed her.

Yeah.

I would never do that to anyone else ever again.

I believe you.

But can you accept it?

No.

I can't. But...

...I'm going to.

(SENTIMENTAL MUSIC)

(DONOVAN): Thanks, bro.

I appreciate you understanding.

(PHONE BEEPS)

Why do I feel so guilty?

Because you should.

Way to make me feel worse.

You can still change your mind.
We can make it work.

Not according to Dotty.

I'm kidding. We will make it work.

What happens when you get elected governor?

I like the sound of that.

I like the sound of that too, but we're going to have to have

- the same conversation.
- But we'll be having it

as governor and first lady.

Maybe you'll feel differently then.

What if I don't?

Then we'll figure that out.

But, right now, I just wanna sit back

sip our wine and enjoy being together.

(SOFT MUSIC)

Ooh.

You really outdid yourself today, Martha.

Bet you didn't think that was possible.

With you, I know everything's possible.

Oh, Tom.

- I knew you were gonna say that.
- (TOM CHUCKLES)

Well, I guess there's something to be said

for being predictable.

I can think of three words.

- I love you?
- Well...

Maybe you don't know me as well as you think.

I was going to say you're my everything.

Oh. Martha.

(PLAYFUL MUSIC)

(BOTH SIGH)

- What's going on?
- It's the Merriwick plant.

What's left of it.

Samantha and I went for a walk in the botanical garden.

This is what we found.

The groundskeeper says it's been wilting

ever since the moon started turning red.

That's why we're all fading.

And when the red haloed moon finishes rising...

Then it's fade out.

(PENSIVE MUSIC)

Ok. It says that it left Middleton two hours ago, and is en route to Chicago.

Then it's just a hop, skip and a jump to Paris.

(STEPHANIE CHUCKLES)

- What?
- You're such a nerd!

Well, it's part of my charm.

You are charming and very sweet.

I thought I was a nerd.

Yeah. A sweet nerd.

Seriously, thanks for everything you did today.

You couldn't have done it without me.

Well, if that helps you sleep at night.

(SENTIMENTAL MUSIC)

(COMPUTER BEEPS)

- Ahem.
- Um...

Look at that.

- The, uh, the cake's in Chicago.
- Mmhm.

And then, it's... It's really just a hop,

skip and a jump to Paris.
