1
00:00:01,802 --> 00:00:03,535
- Previously on Good Witch.
- I think we just found
2
00:00:03,571 --> 00:00:06,338
the Middleton treasure.
- Not the treasure I expected...
3
00:00:06,374 --> 00:00:08,941
but fascinating!
- They went to a lot of trouble
4
00:00:08,976 --> 00:00:11,443
to keep this thing hidden.
- Oh, my!
5
00:00:11,479 --> 00:00:14,179
- An investor is interested
in buying my half of the truck.
6
00:00:14,215 --> 00:00:16,715
- You're Lisa Gold!
- Setting the Gold standard
7
00:00:16,751 --> 00:00:18,917
for food bloggers.
- You can't say it, it's OK.
8
00:00:18,953 --> 00:00:21,420
- I'm thinking it in my head...
I think it's the curse!
9
00:00:21,455 --> 00:00:24,223
- I think you might be right.
- Dottie Davenport.
10
00:00:24,258 --> 00:00:27,226
- Homecoming still eats away
at you, doesn't it?
11
00:00:27,261 --> 00:00:30,763
- I'm happy with who I am.
- I'm Cassie Nightingale.
12
00:00:30,798 --> 00:00:33,632
- Sam Radford.
- Looks like you could use help.
13
00:00:33,667 --> 00:00:35,534
- I've tried it about
a dozen times, it won't open.
14
00:00:35,569 --> 00:00:37,403
- Maybe 13's the charm.
- You have the magic touch.
15
00:00:37,438 --> 00:00:39,304
- This year's graduating class
16
00:00:39,340 --> 00:00:42,274
of Middleton High School.
17
00:00:42,309 --> 00:00:44,109
- I now pronounce you
husband and wife.
18
00:00:44,145 --> 00:00:46,612
You may kiss the bride.
- Kind of weird,
19
00:00:46,647 --> 00:00:48,714
having an empty nest.
New chapter in our lives,
20
00:00:48,749 --> 00:00:51,116
we should start it right.
- I'm liking this.
21
00:00:51,152 --> 00:00:53,285
- Yeah, I had a feeling.
22
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,554
(light music)
23
00:01:02,430 --> 00:01:05,464
- Cassie, have you seen--
- Your blue tie?
24
00:01:05,499 --> 00:01:07,499
You left it in the library.
- Ah! And, uh... what about--
25
00:01:07,535 --> 00:01:09,968
- Your pager.
- Left it next to the tie?
26
00:01:10,004 --> 00:01:12,504
- Kitchen counter.
- Thanks.
27
00:01:12,540 --> 00:01:14,473
And you didn't happen to see--
28
00:01:14,508 --> 00:01:16,775
- Your anniversary kiss?
Right here.
29
00:01:16,811 --> 00:01:18,944
(romantic music)
30
00:01:18,979 --> 00:01:20,846
- I was gonna say,
you didn't happen to see
31
00:01:20,881 --> 00:01:22,915
where the last year went,
because I've lost track
32
00:01:22,950 --> 00:01:26,418
of time being married to you,
but the kiss? A lot less cheesy.
33
00:01:26,454 --> 00:01:29,354
- I like cheesy.
- Happy anniversary.
34
00:01:29,390 --> 00:01:31,457
- Mmm. Same to you.
35
00:01:31,492 --> 00:01:33,358
I made some French toast.
36
00:01:33,394 --> 00:01:36,095
- You didn't just
make French toast.
37
00:01:36,130 --> 00:01:38,130
- I may have gone
a bit overboard
38
00:01:38,165 --> 00:01:41,433
but we're worth it.
- We're definitely worth it.
39
00:01:41,469 --> 00:01:43,502
I thought we were going
40
00:01:43,537 --> 00:01:45,704
to wait until the lake house
tonight to celebrate?
41
00:01:45,739 --> 00:01:47,940
- I know, but I couldn't
wait that long
42
00:01:47,975 --> 00:01:50,275
to give you your gift.
43
00:01:52,379 --> 00:01:54,279
This first year's been amazing.
44
00:01:54,315 --> 00:01:56,348
- Yes, it has.
45
00:01:58,586 --> 00:02:01,153
- Go on, open it!
46
00:02:01,188 --> 00:02:03,188
Since the first year is, uh...
47
00:02:03,224 --> 00:02:05,591
the paper anniversary...
48
00:02:07,828 --> 00:02:10,395
- "Maybe I'm Amazed"!
- The original handwritten
49
00:02:10,431 --> 00:02:12,364
lyrics, signed
by Paul McCartney.
50
00:02:12,399 --> 00:02:15,801
See the bottom corner?
- That's McCartney's signature?
51
00:02:15,836 --> 00:02:18,670
- Thought you might like it.
- Thought I might love it,
52
00:02:18,706 --> 00:02:21,640
which I do!
53
00:02:21,675 --> 00:02:24,676
And I love you.
54
00:02:29,783 --> 00:02:32,918
Is it OK if I wait until tonight
to give you your gift?
55
00:02:32,953 --> 00:02:34,820
- Being together's
the only gift I need.
56
00:02:37,191 --> 00:02:40,325
(sentimental music)
57
00:02:47,635 --> 00:02:49,368
- Good morning, Martha.
58
00:02:49,403 --> 00:02:51,103
- It certainly is!
59
00:02:51,138 --> 00:02:54,406
I'm looking for a large bouquet,
60
00:02:54,441 --> 00:02:57,609
something colourful,
something... how shall I say?
61
00:02:57,645 --> 00:02:59,912
Grand, glorious, glowing!
62
00:02:59,947 --> 00:03:02,514
- What's the occasion?
- Well, it's not really so much
63
00:03:02,550 --> 00:03:05,017
of an occasion
as it is a statement.
64
00:03:05,052 --> 00:03:07,052
- Well, you are
quite a statement-maker.
65
00:03:07,087 --> 00:03:09,087
- So they say.
66
00:03:09,123 --> 00:03:11,356
They also say that
the personality of your home
67
00:03:11,392 --> 00:03:13,125
quite often matches
the personality of you,
68
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,460
in this case, moi.
69
00:03:15,496 --> 00:03:18,697
- Well, you are a jet-setter
70
00:03:18,732 --> 00:03:21,400
and an influencer.
- So true.
71
00:03:21,435 --> 00:03:24,636
- These electric fuchsia
orchids should suit you
72
00:03:24,672 --> 00:03:26,438
and your home perfectly.
73
00:03:26,473 --> 00:03:28,607
- Ooh, they're stunning.
74
00:03:28,642 --> 00:03:30,542
And it isn't just any home,
75
00:03:30,578 --> 00:03:33,478
it's the historic home
of Roderick Davenport!
76
00:03:33,514 --> 00:03:35,781
- Roderick Davenport.
77
00:03:35,816 --> 00:03:37,883
(gasps)
- Forgive me.
78
00:03:37,918 --> 00:03:40,752
I got so swept up,
I completely forgot
79
00:03:40,788 --> 00:03:42,721
that Roderick is the reason
that you and Donovan are cursed.
80
00:03:42,756 --> 00:03:44,756
- Why would a Davenport
live in Middleton?
81
00:03:44,792 --> 00:03:47,659
- Well, he built it to share
with your relative, Patience.
82
00:03:47,695 --> 00:03:49,728
They were supposed to live there
after they got married.
83
00:03:49,763 --> 00:03:52,431
- But she ran off with William
Spry and Roderick cursed
84
00:03:52,466 --> 00:03:54,600
any future Davenport-Merriwick
relationship.
85
00:03:54,635 --> 00:03:56,301
Why would you buy that house?
86
00:03:56,337 --> 00:03:58,604
- Next to Grey House,
it's the oldest in Middleton
87
00:03:58,639 --> 00:04:00,639
and befitting a return to glory
88
00:04:00,674 --> 00:04:03,075
as the new mayor's mansion.
89
00:04:03,110 --> 00:04:04,943
- Well, you can do it
90
00:04:04,979 --> 00:04:08,280
without my flowers.
(sigh)
91
00:04:08,315 --> 00:04:09,314
- Huh.
92
00:04:11,719 --> 00:04:14,720
- Welcome to Grey House, Joy.
- Thank you.
93
00:04:16,523 --> 00:04:18,457
- I think you'll
be comfortable in here.
94
00:04:18,492 --> 00:04:20,826
- Wow, nice columns!
95
00:04:20,861 --> 00:04:23,695
Early 19th century?
96
00:04:23,731 --> 00:04:26,832
- 1815, good eye!
- Well, good taste.
97
00:04:26,867 --> 00:04:28,834
Yeah, I rented a lot
of these houses,
98
00:04:28,869 --> 00:04:32,137
this is solid craftsmanship.
99
00:04:32,172 --> 00:04:34,006
- Is that what brings you
to Middleton?
100
00:04:34,041 --> 00:04:36,208
- Well, my gut brings me
to Middleton.
101
00:04:36,243 --> 00:04:38,777
There's a job here I want
and I plan on getting it.
102
00:04:38,812 --> 00:04:40,846
- I admire your confidence.
103
00:04:40,881 --> 00:04:43,782
Any job in particular?
- I don't want to jinx it.
104
00:04:43,817 --> 00:04:47,019
- Oh? I wouldn't take you
for superstitious.
105
00:04:47,054 --> 00:04:49,187
- What would you take me for?
106
00:04:49,223 --> 00:04:52,624
- Curious.
107
00:04:52,660 --> 00:04:54,359
- Clearly, I'm going
to have to work
108
00:04:54,395 --> 00:04:57,396
on my game face.
- I think you're safe.
109
00:04:57,431 --> 00:04:59,731
We're all a little bit curious.
110
00:04:59,767 --> 00:05:02,200
- What gets your wheels turning?
111
00:05:02,236 --> 00:05:05,404
- Pancakes. You hungry?
112
00:05:05,439 --> 00:05:08,540
- You read my mind.
- I'll get a batch started.
113
00:05:08,575 --> 00:05:10,842
Come down when you're ready.
114
00:05:14,882 --> 00:05:17,849
(suspenseful music)
115
00:05:35,135 --> 00:05:42,307
(theme music)
116
00:05:44,945 --> 00:05:47,179
(music box playing)
117
00:05:48,782 --> 00:05:51,416
- I'm having déja-vu.
- Well, while we all may have
118
00:05:51,452 --> 00:05:53,452
listened to this lovely
tune together,
119
00:05:53,487 --> 00:05:57,556
we did not all share in
the surprise twist at the end.
120
00:05:57,591 --> 00:06:00,292
- A music box surprise twist?
- I'm guessing it's more
121
00:06:00,327 --> 00:06:02,260
of a Middleton treasure
surprise twist.
122
00:06:02,296 --> 00:06:04,896
- Spoiler alert,
remember the children's song,
123
00:06:04,932 --> 00:06:06,965
"Pop Goes the Weasel"?
Well, this is more like,
124
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:08,800
pop goes the emerald.
125
00:06:08,836 --> 00:06:10,902
(gasp)
126
00:06:10,938 --> 00:06:12,704
Three hidden spaces
127
00:06:12,740 --> 00:06:14,940
for three ginormous gems.
128
00:06:14,975 --> 00:06:17,576
- Now, that definitely
qualifies as a twist.
129
00:06:17,611 --> 00:06:20,645
This is about the same size
as the Heart of Middleton.
130
00:06:20,681 --> 00:06:22,948
- Now you understand
why I asked you
131
00:06:22,983 --> 00:06:24,783
to bring out that glorious ruby.
132
00:06:24,818 --> 00:06:26,752
- This music box
would've been hidden
133
00:06:26,787 --> 00:06:28,754
around the time William Spry
gave this ruby
134
00:06:28,789 --> 00:06:32,391
to Patience Merriwick
to declare his love.
135
00:06:34,461 --> 00:06:36,728
- Now, what do an emerald
and what looks
136
00:06:36,764 --> 00:06:40,232
like a missing diamond have
to do with their story?
137
00:06:40,267 --> 00:06:44,369
- That's for them to know
and us to find out.
138
00:06:49,476 --> 00:06:51,810
- I gotta run.
139
00:06:51,845 --> 00:06:54,045
My most important meeting
is about to start.
140
00:06:55,616 --> 00:06:58,850
- Do you know what the best part
about Chinese food is?
141
00:06:58,886 --> 00:07:01,820
- The person you share it with?
142
00:07:01,855 --> 00:07:05,090
- True.
143
00:07:05,125 --> 00:07:07,659
- But...
144
00:07:07,694 --> 00:07:10,829
Fortune cookies.
You're not wrong.
145
00:07:10,864 --> 00:07:12,664
- Is it wrong
to open them first?
146
00:07:12,699 --> 00:07:14,699
- Isn't that bad luck?
- Don't start.
147
00:07:14,735 --> 00:07:17,269
We've had enough of that.
148
00:07:17,304 --> 00:07:19,137
- To good luck then!
149
00:07:24,011 --> 00:07:26,611
What's wrong?
150
00:07:26,647 --> 00:07:29,815
- Don't open yours.
I already know what it says.
151
00:07:29,850 --> 00:07:32,951
- What does it say?
152
00:07:32,986 --> 00:07:35,654
"Your heart will break but..."
153
00:07:35,689 --> 00:07:38,190
- "...but you'll just
keep living day
154
00:07:38,225 --> 00:07:40,392
after day after terrible day."
155
00:07:40,427 --> 00:07:42,794
(Donovan sighs)
156
00:07:44,431 --> 00:07:47,199
(folksy music)
157
00:07:55,609 --> 00:07:57,476
- Wow. We are flying
158
00:07:57,511 --> 00:07:59,144
through this bread.
- I know,
159
00:07:59,179 --> 00:08:01,513
I just upped our weekly order
and it cost a fortune.
160
00:08:01,548 --> 00:08:04,816
It might be time
to switch vendors.
161
00:08:04,852 --> 00:08:07,719
- Mario's been my bread
guy for years.
162
00:08:07,754 --> 00:08:10,822
- I found a bakery in Fairhaven:
same taste, half the price.
163
00:08:10,858 --> 00:08:12,757
- And I'm betting half as good.
164
00:08:12,793 --> 00:08:14,860
- Let me remind you,
they call me
165
00:08:14,895 --> 00:08:17,028
the Gold standard of food
bloggers everywhere.
166
00:08:17,064 --> 00:08:19,731
- Mm-hmm.
- While we're at it,
167
00:08:19,766 --> 00:08:22,067
what if we changed
this four to a six?
168
00:08:22,102 --> 00:08:24,069
- Changing our prices
169
00:08:24,104 --> 00:08:26,271
could also change
our customers' minds
170
00:08:26,306 --> 00:08:28,039
about being customers.
171
00:08:28,075 --> 00:08:31,109
- The truck is a smash hit.
We need to seize the moment.
172
00:08:31,144 --> 00:08:33,044
(deep breath)
173
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:34,746
- I've been in the restaurant
game a long time.
174
00:08:34,781 --> 00:08:36,548
It's not about one moment,
175
00:08:36,583 --> 00:08:38,450
it's about many moments.
176
00:08:38,485 --> 00:08:41,753
- If we raise our profits,
we can launch a fleet.
177
00:08:41,788 --> 00:08:44,956
Monte Cristos across the state.
178
00:08:44,992 --> 00:08:47,926
- Well, you're ambitious.
I'll give you that.
179
00:08:47,961 --> 00:08:49,761
- You gotta give me something.
180
00:08:49,796 --> 00:08:51,863
(dry laugh)
181
00:08:55,903 --> 00:08:57,869
(camera app clicking)
182
00:08:57,905 --> 00:09:00,672
(suspenseful music)
183
00:09:04,144 --> 00:09:05,944
- Getting some good shots?
184
00:09:08,081 --> 00:09:09,748
- I... hope you don't mind?
185
00:09:09,783 --> 00:09:13,051
- Of course I don't mind.
- You know,
186
00:09:13,086 --> 00:09:15,487
Grey House is very unique.
It's elegant, yet cozy.
187
00:09:15,522 --> 00:09:18,823
- Yeah, that's exactly
what I was going for.
188
00:09:18,859 --> 00:09:21,993
- You did all this?
- It needed some work
189
00:09:22,029 --> 00:09:23,895
when I moved in.
- I bet you got it for a steal.
190
00:09:23,931 --> 00:09:25,597
- Actually, it's been
in my family for generations.
191
00:09:25,632 --> 00:09:28,133
- The Nightingales?
- The Merriwicks.
192
00:09:28,168 --> 00:09:30,235
We founded Middleton.
193
00:09:30,270 --> 00:09:32,637
- Your roots run deep.
194
00:09:32,673 --> 00:09:35,106
- Mm. And what about your roots?
195
00:09:36,977 --> 00:09:38,910
- Well, my mom died
when I was 17
196
00:09:38,946 --> 00:09:40,645
so I've been
on my own ever since.
197
00:09:40,681 --> 00:09:43,949
- I'm sorry to hear that.
My parents died
198
00:09:43,984 --> 00:09:46,084
in a car accident too,
I know how hard that can be.
199
00:09:46,119 --> 00:09:48,086
- I never said
it was a car accident.
200
00:09:48,121 --> 00:09:50,288
- You didn't.
201
00:09:50,324 --> 00:09:52,490
My mistake.
202
00:09:52,526 --> 00:09:55,360
- Actually, it's not a mistake.
203
00:09:55,395 --> 00:09:57,662
- It would seem we have a few
204
00:09:57,698 --> 00:10:00,198
things in common.
- Yeah, I guess so.
205
00:10:00,233 --> 00:10:02,000
- Hm.
206
00:10:02,035 --> 00:10:04,703
(mischievous music)
207
00:10:04,738 --> 00:10:06,805
- Oh my.
208
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:08,873
(chuckling)
(gasp)
209
00:10:08,909 --> 00:10:11,343
- Oh, I see you're making
yourself at home.
210
00:10:11,378 --> 00:10:13,712
- Mr. Vandercleef.
211
00:10:13,747 --> 00:10:17,282
Impeccable timing.
Picture, if you will,
212
00:10:17,317 --> 00:10:20,185
a large antique mirror,
possibly with Baroque detail,
213
00:10:20,220 --> 00:10:22,187
I'm still deciding.
214
00:10:22,222 --> 00:10:24,222
I think it would look
quite stunning on that wall.
215
00:10:24,257 --> 00:10:26,958
Accompanied by the elegance
216
00:10:26,994 --> 00:10:29,894
of a rustic mahogany credenza,
facing due west
217
00:10:29,930 --> 00:10:32,397
of course,
capturing the tranquility
218
00:10:32,432 --> 00:10:35,634
of feng shui.
- Mrs. Tinsdale...
219
00:10:35,669 --> 00:10:38,470
You're getting a little
ahead of yourself.
220
00:10:38,505 --> 00:10:41,206
- Well, it's part of my charm.
You'll get used to it.
221
00:10:41,241 --> 00:10:43,375
- I'm not sure you understand.
222
00:10:43,410 --> 00:10:46,745
- Understand what?
- You're officially
223
00:10:46,780 --> 00:10:48,713
in a bidding war.
224
00:10:48,749 --> 00:10:51,182
(gasp)
225
00:10:51,218 --> 00:10:54,185
- I want to be fair, so you both
have until 5 o'clock today
226
00:10:54,221 --> 00:10:57,155
to sell me on why
I should sell you this house.
227
00:10:58,959 --> 00:11:01,559
(groan)
228
00:11:06,033 --> 00:11:08,967
(light music)
229
00:11:10,237 --> 00:11:13,805
(swoosh)
(door chimes jingling)
230
00:11:16,710 --> 00:11:18,376
- Hey, I know that smile...
231
00:11:18,412 --> 00:11:20,412
(chuckling)
232
00:11:20,447 --> 00:11:22,914
...texting Grace?
- She misses everyone.
233
00:11:22,949 --> 00:11:25,350
- How's our college girl doing?
234
00:11:25,385 --> 00:11:27,185
- She loves it.
- That's great.
235
00:11:27,220 --> 00:11:30,021
- But you're not.
- That obvious, huh?
236
00:11:30,057 --> 00:11:33,258
- Yup. Working with
the "Gold standard"
237
00:11:33,293 --> 00:11:35,260
not feeling so golden?
238
00:11:35,295 --> 00:11:37,929
- Lisa wants to change vendors
239
00:11:37,964 --> 00:11:40,265
and raise prices...
240
00:11:40,300 --> 00:11:42,300
I mean, she's a blogger.
She's never run a business.
241
00:11:42,335 --> 00:11:44,736
- She's also your partner.
242
00:11:46,773 --> 00:11:48,940
- I was kinda hoping
for more of a silent partner.
243
00:11:48,975 --> 00:11:51,776
- Well, a duet can't be
in harmony
244
00:11:51,812 --> 00:11:53,545
with just one voice.
245
00:11:53,580 --> 00:11:56,614
- Well, maybe...
she needs to change her tune.
246
00:11:56,650 --> 00:11:59,551
- Maybe... you need
to change your perspective.
247
00:11:59,586 --> 00:12:02,053
- It's just that she wants
248
00:12:02,089 --> 00:12:04,222
to do everything her way.
249
00:12:04,257 --> 00:12:06,224
- Hm. That may not
be such a bad idea.
250
00:12:09,296 --> 00:12:11,362
(pensive music)
251
00:12:13,467 --> 00:12:15,767
- Thank you.
- [Dr. Avery to Obstetrics]
252
00:12:15,802 --> 00:12:18,169
- I need your help
with something.
253
00:12:18,205 --> 00:12:21,339
- A patient?
- A bracelet.
254
00:12:21,374 --> 00:12:23,608
- For your anniversary?
255
00:12:23,643 --> 00:12:26,778
Oh. Nice.
256
00:12:26,813 --> 00:12:29,814
- As nice as handwritten lyrics
signed by Paul McCartney?
257
00:12:29,850 --> 00:12:32,484
- Ooh, definitely not.
- You call that helpful?
258
00:12:32,519 --> 00:12:35,653
- I call that truthful.
- I know...
259
00:12:35,689 --> 00:12:38,823
I just needed a second opinion.
- It's Cassie.
260
00:12:38,859 --> 00:12:41,025
She's gonna love anything
that comes from you.
261
00:12:41,061 --> 00:12:42,961
- I don't want it to be just
anything. I want it to be--
262
00:12:42,996 --> 00:12:45,330
- Better than Paul McCartney?
263
00:12:45,365 --> 00:12:47,332
- Better than Paul McCartney.
264
00:12:52,472 --> 00:12:54,806
(light upbeat music)
265
00:12:54,841 --> 00:12:57,509
(door chimes jingling)
266
00:12:59,746 --> 00:13:01,780
- What do you got there?
267
00:13:01,815 --> 00:13:03,681
- Oh, a collection
of Victor Hugo novels
268
00:13:03,717 --> 00:13:05,717
from an estate sale.
- "Les Misérables".
269
00:13:05,752 --> 00:13:08,219
Sounds like my relationship
with Donovan.
270
00:13:08,255 --> 00:13:11,189
- Oh no. What happened?
- Have you ever heard
271
00:13:11,224 --> 00:13:14,192
of a misfortune cookie?
- Mm, can't say that I have.
272
00:13:17,197 --> 00:13:20,131
"Your heart will break
but you just keep living
273
00:13:20,167 --> 00:13:22,534
day after day
after terrible day."
274
00:13:22,569 --> 00:13:25,170
Wow. Remind me not to eat
at that restaurant.
275
00:13:25,205 --> 00:13:27,172
- Donovan and I got
the exact same
276
00:13:27,207 --> 00:13:28,907
bad news over egg rolls.
277
00:13:28,942 --> 00:13:31,042
- And you think it's
because of the curse?
278
00:13:31,077 --> 00:13:33,678
- What else am I
supposed to think?
279
00:13:33,713 --> 00:13:35,513
- Well, they print thousands
of the same fortunes.
280
00:13:35,549 --> 00:13:37,649
You can't blame every stubbed
toe on the curse.
281
00:13:37,684 --> 00:13:40,185
- You gotta admit,
Donovan and I have been stubbing
282
00:13:40,220 --> 00:13:42,187
a lot of toes lately.
283
00:13:42,222 --> 00:13:45,190
- Well, the road might be rocky,
284
00:13:45,225 --> 00:13:47,892
but the key is to find joy
on the journey.
285
00:13:52,766 --> 00:13:54,566
This doesn't belong in here.
286
00:13:54,601 --> 00:13:57,068
- Why not? It's Victor Hugo.
- It's from the library.
287
00:13:57,103 --> 00:13:59,370
And it's about...
288
00:13:59,406 --> 00:14:01,105
20 years overdue.
289
00:14:01,141 --> 00:14:03,541
- Now I don't feel
so bad, I've got one
290
00:14:03,577 --> 00:14:06,211
that's only two months overdue.
- You should take it back today,
291
00:14:06,246 --> 00:14:08,880
those fines can really add up.
292
00:14:16,156 --> 00:14:17,922
(indistinct chatter)
293
00:14:17,958 --> 00:14:20,091
- Hey!
- Coming right up.
294
00:14:20,126 --> 00:14:23,394
- So... I've been thinking
about what you said.
295
00:14:23,430 --> 00:14:26,464
- I... said a lot.
- We're partners...
296
00:14:26,499 --> 00:14:29,300
your ideas are just
as important as mine.
297
00:14:29,336 --> 00:14:31,769
- I couldn't agree more.
298
00:14:31,805 --> 00:14:34,439
- Well, maybe you can also agree
299
00:14:34,474 --> 00:14:37,442
that in a week
we will assess everything
300
00:14:37,477 --> 00:14:39,577
and decide...
301
00:14:39,613 --> 00:14:42,146
as partners, what's working
and what's not?
302
00:14:42,182 --> 00:14:44,215
- Everything will be working...
303
00:14:44,251 --> 00:14:46,718
but you've got a deal.
304
00:14:59,099 --> 00:15:01,866
- I'll be right with you.
305
00:15:11,878 --> 00:15:13,811
Eglantine rose.
306
00:15:13,847 --> 00:15:15,780
They're a symbol of mystery.
307
00:15:15,815 --> 00:15:18,750
I didn't mean to scare you.
- I don't scare that easy.
308
00:15:18,785 --> 00:15:21,819
- Can I help you find something?
- Chocolate.
309
00:15:21,855 --> 00:15:24,489
- A kindred spirit.
- Well, you wouldn't expect
310
00:15:24,524 --> 00:15:27,191
to find one in
a small town like this.
311
00:15:27,227 --> 00:15:29,027
- This isn't just
any small town.
312
00:15:29,062 --> 00:15:31,362
- What do you recommend?
313
00:15:31,398 --> 00:15:33,631
- Follow me.
314
00:15:33,667 --> 00:15:36,701
This will melt in your mouth.
315
00:15:36,736 --> 00:15:39,837
- Raspberry's not
really my thing.
316
00:15:39,873 --> 00:15:41,839
- Good guess.
317
00:15:41,875 --> 00:15:45,276
- Let's go with that.
318
00:15:45,312 --> 00:15:47,345
I prefer hazelnut cream.
319
00:15:47,380 --> 00:15:50,648
- My favourite too.
320
00:15:58,191 --> 00:16:00,124
- Dr. Radford...
321
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:01,960
didn't Cassie love the bracelet?
322
00:16:01,995 --> 00:16:04,829
- She hasn't seen it.
323
00:16:04,864 --> 00:16:06,631
- Huh. Is there a problem?
324
00:16:06,666 --> 00:16:09,367
- It needs to be bigger.
- Perhaps...
325
00:16:09,402 --> 00:16:13,304
the matching earrings?
Sapphires.
326
00:16:13,340 --> 00:16:16,507
- (sighing): Yeah. Even bigger.
- Hmm.
327
00:16:16,543 --> 00:16:19,310
- I know just the thing...
a ruby pendant.
328
00:16:19,346 --> 00:16:22,647
- I think she's good on rubies.
329
00:16:22,682 --> 00:16:24,515
- OK, let's try this...
330
00:16:24,551 --> 00:16:26,250
picture her opening the gift.
331
00:16:26,286 --> 00:16:28,052
She loves it. What do you see?
332
00:16:28,088 --> 00:16:30,088
(thoughtful music)
333
00:16:30,123 --> 00:16:32,423
(sigh)
334
00:16:32,459 --> 00:16:34,826
- Good question.
335
00:16:34,861 --> 00:16:37,528
(whimsical music)
336
00:16:37,564 --> 00:16:40,565
(gentle knocking)
- Oh, thank goodness...
337
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:42,934
Wait... why aren't I
seeing pizza?
338
00:16:42,969 --> 00:16:45,003
- 'Cause I'm not
the pizza delivery person.
339
00:16:45,038 --> 00:16:47,538
- Then who are you?
- I'm Joy Harper.
340
00:16:47,574 --> 00:16:50,508
I'm the woman who's gonna
renovate your new house.
341
00:16:50,543 --> 00:16:52,410
- Well...
342
00:16:52,445 --> 00:16:54,112
I give you an "A"
for confidence,
343
00:16:54,147 --> 00:16:55,880
and an "F" for timing.
344
00:16:55,915 --> 00:16:58,182
- Somebody beat me to the job?
345
00:16:58,218 --> 00:17:01,119
- Somebody may have beat me
to the house.
346
00:17:01,154 --> 00:17:02,720
- But the article
on the Middleton website said
347
00:17:02,756 --> 00:17:04,555
you already bought it?
348
00:17:04,591 --> 00:17:06,524
- Yes, well...
349
00:17:06,559 --> 00:17:09,627
reports of my purchase may have
been... greatly exaggerated.
350
00:17:09,662 --> 00:17:12,230
Now, if you'll excuse me.
351
00:17:12,265 --> 00:17:14,799
- There's no "E"
at the end of "decor".
352
00:17:14,834 --> 00:17:17,902
(playful music)
353
00:17:17,937 --> 00:17:21,072
- I beg your pardon?
- Well, your spelling
354
00:17:21,107 --> 00:17:22,974
should be right, even if you're
going at this all wrong.
355
00:17:23,009 --> 00:17:25,376
- And what exactly
356
00:17:25,412 --> 00:17:27,311
do you think I'm "going at"?
357
00:17:27,347 --> 00:17:30,248
- If you're in a bidding war,
you're writing a letter
358
00:17:30,283 --> 00:17:32,083
to the owner of the house
explaining why
359
00:17:32,118 --> 00:17:35,319
they should sell to you.
- That still doesn't explain
360
00:17:35,355 --> 00:17:37,255
how you knew I'd written
the word "decor".
361
00:17:37,290 --> 00:17:39,724
- Everybody writes
about the decor.
362
00:17:39,759 --> 00:17:42,760
What you need to do is put
your passion on the page.
363
00:17:42,796 --> 00:17:46,297
- You've piqued my interest.
364
00:17:46,332 --> 00:17:49,000
- Which is exactly what you've
gotta do with that owner.
365
00:17:49,035 --> 00:17:51,502
You want that house,
it's gotta come from the heart.
366
00:17:51,538 --> 00:17:53,671
Tell them how you feel
367
00:17:53,706 --> 00:17:56,174
when you walk through
the front door.
368
00:17:56,209 --> 00:17:58,242
- I feel...
369
00:17:58,278 --> 00:18:01,345
like I'm home. Ah!
370
00:18:01,381 --> 00:18:04,082
- Now you've piqued my interest.
371
00:18:17,997 --> 00:18:20,198
- Let me guess,
Cassie steered you here?
372
00:18:20,233 --> 00:18:22,600
- Our matching fortunes
steered me here.
373
00:18:22,635 --> 00:18:24,535
- To find a book
about a broken heart?
374
00:18:24,571 --> 00:18:27,939
- Actually, yes.
- Too embarrassed to check it
375
00:18:27,974 --> 00:18:29,807
out of the Blairsville library?
- Somebody beat me to it.
376
00:18:29,843 --> 00:18:31,776
- What's the book?
- I did a search
377
00:18:31,811 --> 00:18:34,946
on our matching fortunes and
Great Expectations popped up.
378
00:18:34,981 --> 00:18:37,215
I figured I'd sneak a peek to
see if there's anything to it,
379
00:18:37,250 --> 00:18:39,650
but it looks like
it's not here either.
380
00:18:39,686 --> 00:18:41,552
- That's because
it's right here.
381
00:18:41,588 --> 00:18:43,287
- You're kidding?
- It's overdue.
382
00:18:43,323 --> 00:18:45,690
(mysterious music)
383
00:18:47,727 --> 00:18:49,794
What?
- There's a...
384
00:18:49,829 --> 00:18:52,363
crest stamped in here...
385
00:18:52,398 --> 00:18:54,932
You're not gonna believe this.
386
00:19:01,975 --> 00:19:03,941
(bright music)
387
00:19:09,849 --> 00:19:11,849
- Who said we'd wouldn't use
the pasta maker?
388
00:19:11,885 --> 00:19:13,784
- You did, when we got it
as a wedding gift.
389
00:19:13,820 --> 00:19:16,654
See? Now we'll have homemade
pasta and red wine...
390
00:19:16,689 --> 00:19:19,790
- What could be better for our
anniversary? How does this look?
391
00:19:19,826 --> 00:19:22,326
- Flat.
- It's finally happened.
392
00:19:22,362 --> 00:19:25,296
- What?
- You've adopted
393
00:19:25,331 --> 00:19:27,064
my sense of humour.
- Wow. I was having a nice time
394
00:19:27,100 --> 00:19:29,534
until you said that.
- Should I be insulted?
395
00:19:29,569 --> 00:19:31,702
- Yes.
(chuckling)
396
00:19:31,738 --> 00:19:33,704
- Alright. Let's make pasta.
- OK. It's linguine.
397
00:19:33,740 --> 00:19:35,706
- What's the difference?
398
00:19:35,742 --> 00:19:38,142
- Well, all linguine is pasta,
but not all pasta is linguine.
399
00:19:38,178 --> 00:19:39,911
- I don't care. As long as I can
slap some sauce on it,
400
00:19:39,946 --> 00:19:43,014
I'm happy.
- Mm-hmm. Ah!
401
00:19:43,049 --> 00:19:46,317
Look at that!
Oh, now we're making pasta.
402
00:19:46,352 --> 00:19:49,020
- It's linguine.
- Well, as long as I can slap
403
00:19:49,055 --> 00:19:51,489
some sauce on it, I'm happy.
404
00:19:51,524 --> 00:19:53,257
Look at that!
405
00:19:53,293 --> 00:19:56,527
Oh... Nick's home.
(fantastical music)
406
00:19:56,563 --> 00:19:58,696
- He is?
- He is.
407
00:19:58,731 --> 00:20:00,431
- Hey!
- Happy anniversary.
408
00:20:00,466 --> 00:20:02,833
- Thanks.
- Aw, thank you.
409
00:20:02,869 --> 00:20:06,003
Nice to have you home.
- What are you doing home?
410
00:20:06,039 --> 00:20:09,040
- I got a big project due in my
game design class
411
00:20:09,075 --> 00:20:11,242
the peace and quiet.
- Dorms can be distracting, huh?
412
00:20:11,277 --> 00:20:13,578
- Yeah.
- So can a girlfriend.
413
00:20:16,583 --> 00:20:17,882
- What's her name?
414
00:20:17,917 --> 00:20:21,118
- I didn't say Cassie was right.
415
00:20:21,154 --> 00:20:23,754
Stella.
416
00:20:23,790 --> 00:20:26,791
- How long have you
been together?
417
00:20:26,826 --> 00:20:28,593
- Tuesday will be three months.
418
00:20:28,628 --> 00:20:31,095
- But who's counting.
419
00:20:31,130 --> 00:20:33,764
- You look happy.
- I'm really happy.
420
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:35,766
- I know the feeling.
421
00:20:41,574 --> 00:20:44,208
- Well, this isn't good.
422
00:20:46,145 --> 00:20:48,546
- Could you be more specific?
- I can.
423
00:20:48,581 --> 00:20:51,082
This book is extremely overdue.
424
00:20:51,117 --> 00:20:53,050
The fine will be exorbitant.
- Mother, please...
425
00:20:53,086 --> 00:20:55,052
that's not funny.
- I beg to differ.
426
00:20:55,088 --> 00:20:57,321
It's your father who's
not funny. I have a wonderful
427
00:20:57,357 --> 00:20:59,624
sense of humour.
- Like mother, like son.
428
00:20:59,659 --> 00:21:02,460
- I do so enjoy when
you come over, Abigail.
429
00:21:02,495 --> 00:21:04,562
- We should do this
more often, Dotty.
430
00:21:04,597 --> 00:21:07,999
- Can we get back to the family
crest? Why would it be stamped
431
00:21:08,034 --> 00:21:09,900
inside that copy
of "Great Expectations"?
432
00:21:09,936 --> 00:21:12,837
- Well, my best guess
is the book came
433
00:21:12,872 --> 00:21:15,740
from Roderick Davenport's
private collection of novels.
434
00:21:15,775 --> 00:21:18,976
Supposedly, he was
a voracious reader,
435
00:21:19,012 --> 00:21:21,579
living all alone after
your relative broke his heart.
436
00:21:21,614 --> 00:21:23,814
- Patience followed her heart
437
00:21:23,850 --> 00:21:26,784
to William Spry.
- And poor Roderick
438
00:21:26,819 --> 00:21:28,653
became a recluse in the house
he built to share with her.
439
00:21:28,688 --> 00:21:30,688
His private library...
440
00:21:30,723 --> 00:21:33,257
his only solace.
441
00:21:33,293 --> 00:21:36,027
- Why would the fortune cookies
point us to his book collection?
442
00:21:36,062 --> 00:21:37,828
- I'm sorry...
443
00:21:37,864 --> 00:21:39,797
fortune cookies?
- It's a long story.
444
00:21:39,832 --> 00:21:42,300
- That I think ends
in Roderick's house.
445
00:21:42,335 --> 00:21:44,969
- You mean my house.
- I thought Martha bought
446
00:21:45,004 --> 00:21:47,571
that house.
- So did she.
447
00:21:53,379 --> 00:21:55,446
(suspenseful music)
448
00:22:00,053 --> 00:22:02,086
- Elizabeth Merriwick.
449
00:22:04,190 --> 00:22:07,325
- The Grey Lady.
450
00:22:07,360 --> 00:22:09,960
That was her wedding silver.
451
00:22:09,996 --> 00:22:12,630
Her portrait is
over the fireplace.
452
00:22:12,665 --> 00:22:15,232
- The one whose eyes look like
they're watching you?
453
00:22:15,268 --> 00:22:17,368
- They're watching all of us.
454
00:22:20,073 --> 00:22:22,707
- So... um...
455
00:22:22,742 --> 00:22:25,076
how did you wind up
with Cassie and Sam?
456
00:22:25,111 --> 00:22:27,144
- Fate brought us together.
457
00:22:27,180 --> 00:22:29,046
I'm not sure
458
00:22:29,082 --> 00:22:30,581
if they picked me
or I picked them.
459
00:22:30,616 --> 00:22:33,417
- Hopefully you picked well.
460
00:22:33,453 --> 00:22:36,387
- Without a doubt. If you have
461
00:22:36,422 --> 00:22:38,422
any more questions...
462
00:22:38,458 --> 00:22:40,558
I'm always around.
463
00:22:43,529 --> 00:22:45,363
- Thank you.
464
00:22:51,971 --> 00:22:54,205
One Monte Cristo,
hot off the grill.
465
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,507
- OK. Let's see this thing.
466
00:22:58,611 --> 00:23:00,745
Oh. That's not a good start.
467
00:23:00,780 --> 00:23:02,747
- I know. The bread.
468
00:23:02,782 --> 00:23:04,882
- It's definitely not Mario's.
469
00:23:04,917 --> 00:23:07,251
- Yeah.
- I'm scared.
470
00:23:07,286 --> 00:23:09,186
- Take my hand.
471
00:23:14,093 --> 00:23:16,193
- Oh, wow...
472
00:23:16,229 --> 00:23:18,596
Our Monte Cristo
is not our Monte Cristo.
473
00:23:18,631 --> 00:23:21,265
- I wanted you to taste
for yourself.
474
00:23:21,300 --> 00:23:23,067
- And I'm guessing
the customers aren't happy.
475
00:23:23,102 --> 00:23:25,236
- Let's just say
I heard some strong opinions.
476
00:23:27,073 --> 00:23:29,140
- We spent a lot of time
coming up with this sandwich.
477
00:23:29,175 --> 00:23:31,876
- So why'd you let her
change it?
478
00:23:31,911 --> 00:23:33,811
- Well, she's my partner.
I had to be open to her ideas.
479
00:23:33,846 --> 00:23:36,313
- Look...
480
00:23:36,349 --> 00:23:38,282
I may just be a guy
who helps out
481
00:23:38,317 --> 00:23:40,217
on the truck from time to time.
482
00:23:40,253 --> 00:23:42,920
- You're more than that.
- I would like to think so...
483
00:23:42,955 --> 00:23:45,923
but as the truck's
biggest fan, I gotta say--
484
00:23:45,958 --> 00:23:49,059
- I already know...
we have a problem.
485
00:23:49,095 --> 00:23:51,862
- Yeah.
- Mm-hmm.
486
00:23:53,933 --> 00:23:56,100
- "If you entrust
the property to my care,
487
00:23:56,135 --> 00:23:58,169
"the house will be transformed
488
00:23:58,204 --> 00:24:01,405
into a lovingly restored home."
489
00:24:01,441 --> 00:24:04,275
Yes.
(slow clapping)
490
00:24:04,310 --> 00:24:07,011
- You're quite the wordsmith.
- You're quite
491
00:24:07,046 --> 00:24:08,746
the thorn in my side.
492
00:24:08,781 --> 00:24:11,649
- You could make it easier
on yourself and concede.
493
00:24:11,684 --> 00:24:14,652
- Worried Mr. Vandercleef
will choose me?
494
00:24:14,687 --> 00:24:16,687
- I'm certain Vandercleef
will choose
495
00:24:16,722 --> 00:24:18,422
the option with the most zeros.
496
00:24:18,458 --> 00:24:21,492
- It's just always...
497
00:24:21,527 --> 00:24:23,160
straight to the cheque book
for you, isn't it, Dotty?
498
00:24:23,196 --> 00:24:26,096
- You should finish
your little letter, Martha...
499
00:24:26,132 --> 00:24:28,332
you've got a deadline.
500
00:24:30,303 --> 00:24:32,136
- Ugh!
501
00:24:44,817 --> 00:24:46,851
(soft thud)
502
00:24:48,688 --> 00:24:51,655
(fantastical music)
503
00:25:10,176 --> 00:25:12,676
- Hey...
504
00:25:12,712 --> 00:25:15,179
- I thought you
don't scare easily?
505
00:25:15,214 --> 00:25:17,548
How'd your interview
with Martha go?
506
00:25:17,583 --> 00:25:19,416
- She told you we met?
507
00:25:19,452 --> 00:25:21,852
- Let's go with that.
508
00:25:32,965 --> 00:25:36,066
I think your new guest
is playing with us.
509
00:25:36,102 --> 00:25:38,402
- Hmm. I think maybe
you're playing with her?
510
00:25:38,437 --> 00:25:40,704
- Six of one.
511
00:25:40,740 --> 00:25:42,940
- Either way, you're enjoying
the game.
512
00:25:42,975 --> 00:25:45,376
- Do you think
she's ever gonna tell us?
513
00:25:45,411 --> 00:25:48,379
- When she's ready.
514
00:25:55,087 --> 00:25:57,221
(nostalgic music)
515
00:25:57,256 --> 00:25:59,223
- Joy?
516
00:25:59,258 --> 00:26:01,592
Hello... you told me
to meet you at the house.
517
00:26:01,627 --> 00:26:03,427
I'm here. You're not.
518
00:26:03,462 --> 00:26:05,095
It feels like I've been
waiting a lifetime...
519
00:26:05,131 --> 00:26:07,765
- A lifetime?
- (gasp): What took you so long?
520
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,334
- I'm not a mirage.
You can hang up.
521
00:26:10,369 --> 00:26:12,836
- Dotty Davenport is dangling
dollars in front of Vandercleef
522
00:26:12,872 --> 00:26:15,272
and we have exactly
57 minutes and 12 seconds
523
00:26:15,308 --> 00:26:17,374
to convince him not to bite.
524
00:26:17,410 --> 00:26:19,910
Now, if you want a job
renovating my home,
525
00:26:19,946 --> 00:26:22,346
we need to make sure
that this is, in deed, my home.
526
00:26:22,381 --> 00:26:24,715
- Well, didn't you put
your passion on the page?
527
00:26:24,750 --> 00:26:27,351
- Of course I did, but then
Dotty put her signature
528
00:26:27,386 --> 00:26:29,186
on a cheque.
I think it's time to--
529
00:26:29,221 --> 00:26:32,456
- ...drop the hammer.
- I was gonna say up our game,
530
00:26:32,491 --> 00:26:35,426
but we can drop the hammer.
What exactly does that entail?
531
00:26:35,461 --> 00:26:37,861
- We need to infuse your energy
532
00:26:37,897 --> 00:26:39,597
with the spirit of the house.
533
00:26:39,632 --> 00:26:42,866
- Ooh, I felt a shiver
just go right up my spine.
534
00:26:42,902 --> 00:26:44,635
- Well, this isn't
my first rodeo.
535
00:26:44,670 --> 00:26:46,470
- No, I mean I think
there's quite a draft.
536
00:26:46,505 --> 00:26:48,539
- Oh, a lot of these old houses
are under-insulated.
537
00:26:48,574 --> 00:26:51,041
- Or... overtaken by ghosts.
538
00:26:51,077 --> 00:26:54,244
- Let's see what inspiration
the house offers
539
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:56,780
for that letter.
540
00:26:56,816 --> 00:26:59,950
- I'm still going to give
this place a thorough smudging.
541
00:27:02,989 --> 00:27:05,723
- Hey, partner. How's it going?
542
00:27:05,758 --> 00:27:08,158
- Take a look around.
(uncomfortable laugh)
543
00:27:08,194 --> 00:27:10,260
- Not our biggest crowd.
544
00:27:10,296 --> 00:27:13,263
- I don't get it.
These are successful techniques,
545
00:27:13,299 --> 00:27:15,833
they're used by food trucks
in all the major cities.
546
00:27:15,868 --> 00:27:18,669
I've written so many blogs
about this. I just think we have
547
00:27:18,704 --> 00:27:20,738
to get into a better rhythm.
- Well, Middleton kinda marches
548
00:27:20,773 --> 00:27:23,807
to the beat of its own drum.
- We may need to up the tempo.
549
00:27:23,843 --> 00:27:25,843
- I'm not sure tempo's
the problem.
550
00:27:25,878 --> 00:27:28,278
We may need to reassess.
551
00:27:28,314 --> 00:27:30,347
- You said I had a week.
552
00:27:30,383 --> 00:27:32,950
It's only been six hours.
553
00:27:32,985 --> 00:27:34,685
- Well, word travels fast
around here.
554
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:36,754
If we wait a week,
555
00:27:36,789 --> 00:27:38,822
we may not have
a business left to reassess.
556
00:27:38,858 --> 00:27:42,159
(melancholy folk music)
557
00:27:45,164 --> 00:27:47,498
- Since when is fine jewellery
558
00:27:47,533 --> 00:27:49,466
a part of a game design project?
- Since I don't know
559
00:27:49,502 --> 00:27:52,202
what to get Stella
for our three month anniversary.
560
00:27:52,238 --> 00:27:56,006
- It is a pretty big milestone.
561
00:27:56,042 --> 00:27:59,009
- Not as big as yours.
What did you get Cassie?
562
00:28:01,313 --> 00:28:04,448
- Still working on it.
- Your anniversary is today.
563
00:28:04,483 --> 00:28:06,717
- Yeah. I guess I need
564
00:28:06,752 --> 00:28:09,486
to work a little faster.
- Can you work on mine too?
565
00:28:13,826 --> 00:28:16,160
- Gold necklace...
diamond earrings...
566
00:28:16,195 --> 00:28:18,195
did you inherit a fortune
I'm unaware of?
567
00:28:18,230 --> 00:28:20,164
- I want it to be special.
568
00:28:20,199 --> 00:28:22,833
- Well...
(sigh)
569
00:28:22,868 --> 00:28:25,002
...expensive doesn't
always make it special.
570
00:28:25,037 --> 00:28:27,337
- Well... what does?
571
00:28:27,373 --> 00:28:29,673
- Well, how about
something sentimental?
572
00:28:29,709 --> 00:28:31,809
- Like...
573
00:28:31,844 --> 00:28:33,844
- Hmm. How'd you meet?
574
00:28:33,879 --> 00:28:35,713
- We met playing Pictionary.
575
00:28:35,748 --> 00:28:38,248
- You met at a party?
- No, really,
576
00:28:38,284 --> 00:28:40,517
we met in the dorm,
a bunch of people
577
00:28:40,553 --> 00:28:42,386
were playing board games.
578
00:28:42,421 --> 00:28:45,055
We won, I drew the Eiffel Tower
579
00:28:45,091 --> 00:28:46,990
and she guessed it.
580
00:28:47,026 --> 00:28:49,426
- That sounds like
a moment worth remembering.
581
00:28:49,462 --> 00:28:52,129
- I'll never forget it.
582
00:28:53,933 --> 00:28:55,899
- I bet she won't either.
583
00:28:55,935 --> 00:28:59,002
(uplifting music)
584
00:29:02,141 --> 00:29:04,208
(playful music)
585
00:29:04,243 --> 00:29:06,176
- Check this place out.
586
00:29:06,212 --> 00:29:08,912
You Davenports don't
do anything small.
587
00:29:08,948 --> 00:29:11,115
- Yeah... not when we're doing
it for you Merriwicks.
588
00:29:11,150 --> 00:29:14,251
- You're proud of that one,
aren't you?
589
00:29:14,286 --> 00:29:16,053
- Depends.
- Were you hoping for a kiss?
590
00:29:16,088 --> 00:29:18,856
- Are you offering?
- No.
591
00:29:18,891 --> 00:29:21,391
- Ouch.
- It's weird.
592
00:29:21,427 --> 00:29:23,427
I have no interest
in kissing you.
593
00:29:23,462 --> 00:29:25,395
I think it's this house.
594
00:29:25,431 --> 00:29:27,397
- Well, if the rumours are true,
the curse was born here.
595
00:29:27,433 --> 00:29:29,233
- And lured us here.
596
00:29:29,268 --> 00:29:32,236
- Let's find Roderick's book
collection to figure out why.
597
00:29:34,907 --> 00:29:36,907
Which way?
598
00:29:36,942 --> 00:29:38,942
- I don't know,
599
00:29:38,978 --> 00:29:41,578
I feel kinda lost.
600
00:29:41,614 --> 00:29:44,414
- Well, at least
we're lost together.
601
00:29:47,853 --> 00:29:50,454
(mysterious music)
602
00:29:50,489 --> 00:29:52,156
- It's like time stood still.
603
00:29:52,191 --> 00:29:54,892
- Not so still that it didn't
leave footprints.
604
00:29:58,164 --> 00:29:59,930
- It could be
your mom or Martha's.
605
00:29:59,965 --> 00:30:02,266
They've both been here,
trying to buy the house.
606
00:30:02,301 --> 00:30:04,768
- I don't think so,
the footprints walk up,
607
00:30:04,804 --> 00:30:07,037
but they don't walk away.
608
00:30:08,841 --> 00:30:11,975
There's one book missing from
the Charles Dickens section.
609
00:30:15,214 --> 00:30:17,114
- It's worth a shot.
610
00:30:22,822 --> 00:30:24,788
- Oh, thank goodness!
611
00:30:24,824 --> 00:30:27,324
- Martha?
612
00:30:29,128 --> 00:30:31,829
- Saved by a Merriwick
and a Davenport! How apropos.
613
00:30:31,864 --> 00:30:33,997
I feared that we would
be trapped in here forever.
614
00:30:34,033 --> 00:30:36,633
- Why didn't you just go back
through the bookcase?
615
00:30:36,669 --> 00:30:38,635
- We didn't know
about the bookcase.
616
00:30:38,671 --> 00:30:40,871
- We came in through
the pantry, the wall slid open,
617
00:30:40,906 --> 00:30:43,540
then closed behind us. I've been
looking for a way to open it.
618
00:30:43,576 --> 00:30:45,809
- I'm sure you have.
- If you came in through
619
00:30:45,845 --> 00:30:48,979
the pantry, then whose
footprints led to the bookcase?
620
00:30:49,014 --> 00:30:51,114
- Footprints?
Ghostly footprints?
621
00:30:51,150 --> 00:30:53,684
- I don't think
ghosts leave prints.
622
00:30:53,719 --> 00:30:55,452
(alarm ringing)
- Wha-- 5 o'clock.
623
00:30:55,487 --> 00:30:57,187
My letter has gone unread.
624
00:30:57,223 --> 00:30:59,890
- Your letter was irrelevant
once Mr. Vandercleef
625
00:30:59,925 --> 00:31:01,692
had my cheque in hand.
626
00:31:01,727 --> 00:31:03,794
- It's incredible!
627
00:31:03,829 --> 00:31:07,130
- Well, it's not necessary
to rub it in.
628
00:31:07,166 --> 00:31:10,234
- That's a Stradivarius!
Who found this?
629
00:31:10,269 --> 00:31:13,403
- Martha did.
- I did?
630
00:31:13,439 --> 00:31:15,339
Oh, well, yes... I did.
631
00:31:15,374 --> 00:31:18,008
- I never even knew
this room existed.
632
00:31:18,043 --> 00:31:19,977
- It seems to be some sort
of secret study.
633
00:31:20,012 --> 00:31:22,546
- I'm guessing
it was Roderick's.
634
00:31:22,581 --> 00:31:24,915
- Well, Roderick had
an impeccable taste. I mean,
635
00:31:24,950 --> 00:31:27,751
there are only 600 of these
thought to be in existence.
636
00:31:27,786 --> 00:31:30,888
- Sounds like you owe Martha
a thank you.
637
00:31:30,923 --> 00:31:33,257
- I owe Martha
638
00:31:33,292 --> 00:31:35,993
a lot more than that.
639
00:31:36,028 --> 00:31:39,062
Congratulations,
the house is yours.
640
00:31:39,098 --> 00:31:42,065
- What? What.
- What?!
641
00:31:42,101 --> 00:31:45,402
- Call me tomorrow
and we'll go over the details.
642
00:31:45,437 --> 00:31:48,405
- Hold on, Vandercleef.
we had a deal.
643
00:31:50,409 --> 00:31:52,843
- We should celebrate.
- We should!
644
00:31:52,878 --> 00:31:55,779
My new house and your new job.
Welcome aboard.
645
00:31:55,814 --> 00:31:57,547
- You won't be disappointed.
646
00:31:57,583 --> 00:32:00,617
- No, I better not be.
(sigh)
647
00:32:00,653 --> 00:32:03,153
(whimsical music)
648
00:32:05,124 --> 00:32:07,691
- Looking for anything
in particular?
649
00:32:07,726 --> 00:32:09,760
- My sanity?
- Hm, fresh out.
650
00:32:09,795 --> 00:32:12,029
- How 'bout something
for a headache?
651
00:32:12,064 --> 00:32:13,797
- The crème brûlée
at Elaine's Diner
652
00:32:13,832 --> 00:32:15,933
always works for me.
653
00:32:15,968 --> 00:32:18,201
- I wrote a review
about that crème brûlée.
654
00:32:18,237 --> 00:32:20,938
- It really is
as light as a cloud.
655
00:32:20,973 --> 00:32:24,041
- And the sound of the sugar
cracking under your spoon--
656
00:32:24,076 --> 00:32:26,877
- ..."Rings as clearly
as a bell."
657
00:32:26,912 --> 00:32:31,081
Your writing leaps off the page.
- I appreciate that.
658
00:32:31,116 --> 00:32:33,150
- I would appreciate
a sneak peek
659
00:32:33,185 --> 00:32:34,918
of your next review.
660
00:32:34,954 --> 00:32:36,720
- Uh... the blog's
kinda on hold.
661
00:32:36,755 --> 00:32:38,755
I invested in a food truck.
662
00:32:38,791 --> 00:32:41,959
- The other side of the table.
- The tables have turned,
663
00:32:41,994 --> 00:32:45,095
that's for sure.
Now, back to my headache?
664
00:32:45,130 --> 00:32:47,164
- Yeah, sometimes...
665
00:32:47,199 --> 00:32:49,800
it's best to target
the root of the problem.
666
00:32:52,638 --> 00:32:54,504
- Never had a problem
when I was just writing
667
00:32:54,540 --> 00:32:56,473
about food trucks.
668
00:32:56,508 --> 00:32:58,308
- Sounds like your best
source of relief is...
669
00:32:58,344 --> 00:33:00,310
right at your fingertips.
670
00:33:06,051 --> 00:33:08,485
- You may wanna keep
this room as is,
671
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:10,420
it's kinda the heart
and soul of the house.
672
00:33:10,456 --> 00:33:13,623
- Kind of like me,
the heart and soul of Middleton.
673
00:33:13,659 --> 00:33:15,625
Why don't we all head
to The Bistro to celebrate?
674
00:33:15,661 --> 00:33:17,961
Lattes all around.
- Now that you're the owner,
675
00:33:17,997 --> 00:33:19,629
any chance you wanna part
with this desk?
676
00:33:19,665 --> 00:33:22,666
I think it would look amazing
in my office.
677
00:33:22,701 --> 00:33:24,501
- While you're furniture
shopping, I'm gonna figure out
678
00:33:24,536 --> 00:33:26,303
why the fortune cookies
led us here.
679
00:33:26,338 --> 00:33:28,305
(fantastical music)
680
00:33:33,645 --> 00:33:36,646
- I think I may just
have figured it out.
681
00:33:36,682 --> 00:33:39,683
It's a letter Roderick
was writing to Patience.
682
00:33:39,718 --> 00:33:42,853
- Dated two days after she broke
off the engagement.
683
00:33:42,888 --> 00:33:45,055
"If true love completely breaks
684
00:33:45,090 --> 00:33:47,190
"the heart, the curse is sealed
685
00:33:47,226 --> 00:33:50,260
and shan't depart."
- It's not exactly a love poem.
686
00:33:52,231 --> 00:33:54,064
- I think it's a warning.
687
00:33:54,099 --> 00:33:55,899
If the heart completely breaks,
688
00:33:55,934 --> 00:33:57,834
the curse is permanent.
689
00:33:57,870 --> 00:33:59,803
- What curse?
- Whose heart?
690
00:33:59,838 --> 00:34:02,039
- Quite a conundrum.
(gasp)
691
00:34:02,074 --> 00:34:04,474
Wait...
692
00:34:04,510 --> 00:34:06,843
(insects chirping)
693
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:10,847
- I always forget
how beautiful it is up here.
694
00:34:10,883 --> 00:34:13,316
- Takes your breath away.
695
00:34:13,352 --> 00:34:15,318
- Should we get the luggage?
696
00:34:15,354 --> 00:34:18,188
- No, I'll go back
and get it after we settle in.
697
00:34:18,223 --> 00:34:21,191
Oh... looks like
the front porch light's out.
698
00:34:21,226 --> 00:34:23,827
Here... We'll just use this.
699
00:34:23,862 --> 00:34:26,329
- Hmm. Lead the way.
700
00:34:28,100 --> 00:34:30,067
- I forgot I had
the locks changed,
701
00:34:30,102 --> 00:34:31,902
so the keys are in the lockbox.
702
00:34:31,937 --> 00:34:33,670
Will you hold that, please?
- Sure.
703
00:34:36,075 --> 00:34:38,075
(distant quacking)
704
00:34:42,714 --> 00:34:44,714
(romantic music)
705
00:34:44,750 --> 00:34:46,883
- I think Ryan gave me
the wrong combination.
706
00:34:46,919 --> 00:34:49,686
- Just like the night we met.
707
00:34:49,721 --> 00:34:52,789
- Hi, I'm Sam Radford.
708
00:34:52,825 --> 00:34:56,126
- Cassie Nightingale. You look
like you could use some help.
709
00:34:56,161 --> 00:34:58,462
- Only if you're a locksmith.
710
00:34:58,497 --> 00:35:00,964
- Hm. Why don't you try it
one more time?
711
00:35:00,999 --> 00:35:04,067
- Oh, I tried it a dozen times,
it won't open.
712
00:35:04,103 --> 00:35:06,103
- Maybe 13's the charm.
713
00:35:06,138 --> 00:35:08,572
Give it a try.
714
00:35:08,607 --> 00:35:11,274
- OK, I will... But I don't
715
00:35:11,310 --> 00:35:13,376
think it's going to.
716
00:35:23,789 --> 00:35:26,389
- 13 gets such a bad reputation,
717
00:35:26,425 --> 00:35:28,892
but it's always been
a very lucky number for me.
718
00:35:28,927 --> 00:35:31,728
- You got the magic touch.
719
00:35:31,763 --> 00:35:33,797
- So do you.
720
00:35:33,832 --> 00:35:36,366
It's a perfect start
to our anniversary night.
721
00:35:45,177 --> 00:35:48,578
(nostalgic music)
722
00:35:48,614 --> 00:35:52,149
(giggling)
(both sigh)
723
00:35:52,184 --> 00:35:54,084
- Umm...
724
00:35:54,119 --> 00:35:56,219
- OK.
725
00:35:56,255 --> 00:35:57,921
We are gonna switch
you to decaf.
726
00:35:57,956 --> 00:36:00,524
- My nervous system thanks you.
727
00:36:00,559 --> 00:36:02,559
- Just your nervous system?
728
00:36:02,594 --> 00:36:04,861
(Stephanie chuckling)
729
00:36:04,897 --> 00:36:07,731
- I promised I'd stop
by the hospital
730
00:36:07,766 --> 00:36:09,599
and play some gin
with Mr. Palladino.
731
00:36:09,635 --> 00:36:12,235
So I'll see you tomorrow?
- Yeah.
732
00:36:12,271 --> 00:36:15,272
Yeah. Have fun.
733
00:36:15,307 --> 00:36:18,008
- Thank you.
734
00:36:18,043 --> 00:36:20,043
- Perfect timing.
735
00:36:20,078 --> 00:36:22,846
The last slice of peach pie
has your name on it.
736
00:36:22,881 --> 00:36:26,082
- Humble pie might
be more fitting.
737
00:36:26,118 --> 00:36:28,885
You were right about the truck.
- I read your new
738
00:36:28,921 --> 00:36:31,087
blog post about what
you learned on the job.
739
00:36:31,123 --> 00:36:33,924
- I should have trusted
my partner.
740
00:36:33,959 --> 00:36:37,093
- Well, I appreciate
what you said about me.
741
00:36:37,129 --> 00:36:41,264
You have a way with words.
- And you...
742
00:36:41,300 --> 00:36:43,600
have a way with people.
743
00:36:43,635 --> 00:36:46,203
What you taught me was true,
744
00:36:46,238 --> 00:36:49,272
when it comes to quality,
there's no cutting corners.
745
00:36:49,308 --> 00:36:51,608
I think I'm gonna stick
to writing about food,
746
00:36:51,643 --> 00:36:54,211
and not selling it.
Any chance you want
747
00:36:54,246 --> 00:36:57,347
to buy me out?
My blog needs me.
748
00:37:02,187 --> 00:37:04,187
- On one condition.
749
00:37:06,191 --> 00:37:09,092
That you'll hold my food
to the Gold standard.
750
00:37:09,127 --> 00:37:11,261
- Count on it.
751
00:37:11,296 --> 00:37:13,363
- Great.
752
00:37:15,167 --> 00:37:18,802
(energetic music)
753
00:37:26,812 --> 00:37:29,412
- No one told me about the
hidden safe when I was mayor.
754
00:37:29,448 --> 00:37:32,249
- Being me has its privileges.
755
00:37:44,396 --> 00:37:47,364
- This is the music box? So much
for living up to the hype.
756
00:37:47,399 --> 00:37:49,199
(melody beginning)
757
00:37:49,234 --> 00:37:51,601
- "If true love
completely breaks the heart,
758
00:37:51,637 --> 00:37:53,436
"the curse is sealed
759
00:37:53,472 --> 00:37:55,138
and shan't depart."
760
00:37:55,173 --> 00:37:57,774
- What does that have to do
with the music box?
761
00:37:59,544 --> 00:38:01,344
(melody stops)
762
00:38:03,649 --> 00:38:06,149
- The Heart of Middleton.
763
00:38:06,184 --> 00:38:08,184
- Ding ding ding!
764
00:38:08,220 --> 00:38:11,187
- You think Roderick's letter
was talking about that ruby?
765
00:38:11,223 --> 00:38:13,857
- I would like nothing more
than to be wrong.
766
00:38:16,194 --> 00:38:19,195
- I wish you were.
(gasp)
767
00:38:19,231 --> 00:38:21,197
- What could possibly cause
a ruby to crack?
768
00:38:21,233 --> 00:38:23,400
- Us.
- Well, let's not blame
769
00:38:23,435 --> 00:38:25,735
the curse just yet.
I did have a fire going.
770
00:38:25,771 --> 00:38:27,671
Perhaps the safe
became overheated?
771
00:38:27,706 --> 00:38:30,473
- Then the music box
would be damaged, too.
772
00:38:30,509 --> 00:38:33,510
- OK, time to blame the curse.
And if I may paraphrase,
773
00:38:33,545 --> 00:38:35,745
if that ruby cracks
all the way--
774
00:38:35,781 --> 00:38:37,881
- ...then the curse
is here to stay.
775
00:38:40,686 --> 00:38:42,686
- (Cassie): [Actually,
it's been in my family]
776

777
00:38:45,624 --> 00:38:47,857
- [The Merriwicks.
We founded Middleton.]
778
00:38:47,893 --> 00:38:51,161
- [Your roots run deep.]
779
00:38:51,196 --> 00:38:53,930
("Every Little Thing She Does
Is Magic" by Sleeping at Last)
780
00:38:53,965 --> 00:38:57,200
- Mmm, homemade linguine.
- Mmm, red wine.
781
00:38:57,235 --> 00:38:59,169
- Yeah, we did good.
782
00:38:59,204 --> 00:39:01,271
- Glad I registered us

783
00:39:01,306 --> 00:39:03,273

785

I've always wanted to ask you...
786
00:39:08,647 --> 00:39:10,580
- Uh oh.
- No,
787
00:39:10,615 --> 00:39:12,415
it's not an uh oh.
- Alright,
788
00:39:12,451 --> 00:39:14,351
hit me with it.
789
00:39:14,386 --> 00:39:17,887
- What made you move
to Middleton?
790
00:39:19,725 --> 00:39:22,525
- You, Cassie Nightingale,
don't remember?
791
00:39:22,561 --> 00:39:24,627
- No, I know
792
00:39:24,663 --> 00:39:27,430
that you were looking for
a change of scenery for Nick,
793
00:39:27,466 --> 00:39:30,100
but there are a lot
of small towns,
794
00:39:30,135 --> 00:39:32,235
what made you choose ours?
795
00:39:32,270 --> 00:39:35,205
- Taking a page
from your playbook,
796
00:39:35,240 --> 00:39:37,874
we shouldn't question it.
797
00:39:37,909 --> 00:39:40,110
It was meant to be.
- I've got a good playbook.
798

- I wouldn't want to coach
against you in the Super Bowl.
799
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:45,115
- Is that a sports reference?
800
00:39:47,919 --> 00:39:49,719
- Save room for dessert?
801
00:39:49,755 --> 00:39:51,588
- I wonder what year-old wedding
cake is gonna taste like?
802
00:39:51,623 --> 00:39:54,257
