- Previously onGood Witch... - You OK?
- Bad news is I won't be doing surgery anytime soon.
- I know you blame me, Sam. - Never said it was your fault.
- You haven't said anything. - I was really nervous
about reconnecting with my dad, but we worked things out.
- I don't think I could work things out with my dad.
- It's not easy to imagine being open to the unimaginable.
My parents died in a car accident.
- You should probably open your present.
Not what you were expecting? - This belonged to my parents.
The last time I saw this, I was ten.
- Somebody took good care of it. - Yeah, I guess it meant as much
to them as it did to us.
♪♪
My parents flew this every year on their anniversary.
[laughing] When I got old enough,
they shared that tradition with me.
[laughing] Then one day, the string broke
and the wind carried it away.
It flew a long way to get to Middleton.
- It flew a long way to get to you.
- My parents
sewed their initials into it on their first anniversary.
The last time we flew it was the winter before they died.
[theme music]
- It looks like a J.
- For my Joybean.
- I love you, Daddy.
- I love you too.
[dramatic music]
- To the next chapter. [words echoing]
- Dad! Come back...
[thunder rumbling]
[dramatic music]
[gasping]
[birds chirping]
It's the first time it's gone past my dad giving me the shell.
- Nobody tell Martha her dream pillow actually worked.
- If the symbol really is meant to protect us,
the pendant on the necklace could actually be an amulet.
- Are you sure you've never seen it before?
- Only in my dreams.
- Sounds like your mom wanted to protect your dad on his journey.
- But if she knew he was gonna leave us, then why wouldn't she
stop him? - Some journeys are unavoidable.
- Not to a 7-year-old. - If you're dreaming
about that amulet, maybe we need to be protected
from the same thing your dad did.
- Or my dream is protecting me from the truth.
- Only way to find the truth is to find your dad.
- Even if I wanted to find him, I wouldn't know where to start.
- You can't go back and change the beginning,
but you can start where you are and change the ending.
- Now might be the time to hold a rummage sale.
- It'd take a heck of a lot of rummage to save the church.
Even with the dough, we have to find somewhere to move her to.
- Maybe Cassie can point us in the right direction.
- Maybe we can pull the doc in, too.
With his bum shoulder, he can use a distraction, and you two
could use a little reunion. - I would love a reunion,
but I tried and he said he just wants to lay low.
- Well, that's because no one has invited him down
to the old Leopard Lodge. Nobody can say no to a beer, a brat
and bocce ball. And you can bump into us while we're there.
- Maybe I'll bring Donovan. If there's two of us, it won't look
so obvious. - The more leopards the merrier.
[chuckling]
- Oh, thank you! You know, I'm getting used to this free coffee
and donuts. - Oh, they're not free.
No, I'm deducting them from what I owe you.
A few more maple bacon donuts and we'll be even.
- You know, it's not a good idea to harass your contractor
when she's only halfway through your renovation.
- Noted. [cell phone chiming]
- Oh, can you check to see who that is?
- Well, not a exactly a "who".
Um, a squirrel rocking a bowtie.
- Ah, kind of private. - Kind of private, huh?
- Going on a date with Sean, huh?
[cell phone chiming] He wants to come by earlier.
- Alright, since you know so much,
what do you think I should wear?
- Hm, what are you two kids getting into?
- I have no idea. All I know is we decided to keep it casual.
- And you're not sure if your idea of casual matches his.
- Exactly. I mean, my idea of casual is a cozy wine bar
and a cheese board and a glass of Cab or two.
- Ha, ha, ha! And you're worried his idea of casual is ribs
and video games and root beer? - I wasn't until just now.
- I'm sure you have nothing to worry about.
- Somebody got a meeting with Boyd Franklin!
- Months of phone calls, emails and a bottle of Château Lafite
Rothschild finally paid off. - They will in 3 more months
when we have the meeting. - I will toast to that.
- How about we toast to us?
Me being one step closer to the governor's mansion
and you to opening your own ad agency.
- I have the perfect glasses.
- You know they're gonna start calling us a power couple
if we're not careful. - Ooh, man, you are loving this!
- Every minute. Aren't you? - Every minute of it.
[whimsical music]
- To the next chapter.
You OK?
[knocking] - Knock-knock!
Did someone order a Tinsdale on toast?
- Someone did not.
Now, why do I think that tuna smells fishy?
- How would you feel about using that stamp on this
parking ticket appeal form? - Stephanie Borden,
are you actually attempting to bribe the mayor of Middleton?
- I wouldn't call it a bribe.
- These red zone parking tickets are almost impossible
to appeal. Where it asks for reason for contesting ticket,
you've written "Tinsdale on toast". Oh! This isa bribe!
- OK, look, I was in that red zone for like 2 minutes
while I was unloading sauerkraut
for your signature sandwich. - Well, unfortunately for you,
that's not enough reason to put my signature on that paper.
- Couldn't you look the other way just this once?
- If I look the other way for you I have to look the other way
when Adam puts his recycling bin on the street two days early.
- Doesn't seem too unreasonable. - Or when Abigail
leaves her Christmas decorations up until Valentine's Day.
- You've made your point. - I suppose you'll be wanting
this T-O-T back.
- No, you know,
I will just put it on your t-a-b.
[giggling]
- When Donovan said "To the next chapter", I noticed Willow View
engraved on the base. - Could be a coincidence.
- Or it could be leading us straight to Joy's dad.
Why are you doubting this?
- I don't know.
- Well, I do know. He'll be there.
- Who will be where?
[whimsical music] You found my dad.
- Welcome to the Leopard Lodge!
Step right up, Sam. Jason,
a couple of beers, please. - Put 'em on our tab.
- Well, isn't this quite a coincidence?
- He was just trying to help. - How did you get roped into it?
- I owed you one. You were there when Abigail and I broke up.
- Listen, guys, I appreciate you doing this, but I'm fine.
- Now that the gang's all here, why don't we have a drink?
- I never thought of myself as a Leopard Lodge kind of guy...
and I was right. - Well, I'm definitely
Leopard material. - Welcome, my fellow Leopards!
[all growling] - Rawr...
- It's time to meet our pledges for tomorrow's initiation.
- This should be interesting. - Who are the pledges?
- I'm looking at them.
[whimsical music]
[knocking] - You up for some company?
- What if I say no? - Hmm, I'm gonna come in anyway.
[chuckling]
[sighing]
You don't have to come.
- What if you find him?
- I'll tell him his daughter still has the shell he gave her.
- After that day at the beach, I fell asleep in the car
on the way home. My dad carried me to my room and tucked me in.
I always used to say: "Guess what I'm gonna dream about?"
And he would say: "A rainbow wrapped around the moon."
When I woke up, he was gone.
- My dad used to tap me on the nose three times
when he tucked me in,
saying he loved me forever,
for always, until the cows come home.
[sniffling]
- My mom used to tell me that
even though he left, we'd always be a family.
It's all she would ever say.
I wanna go with you.
[yawning]
[gasping]
[shrieking]
Well, found my jacket
and these were in the pocket.
- As long as you're bringing them, we should do a reading.
- I wasn't bringing them.
- Maybe they're magic stones. - Let's go with that.
- Since Abigail's gift pointed us in the right direction,
I thought yours might come in handy too.
- We don't know yet if it is the right direction.
- I'm pretty sure it is. I've got no problem sensing
someone else's right direction.
- Donovan? - Donovan and I are great.
- Your ad agency? - Donovan and I are great.
I think I realise the idea of opening my own agency
was more thrilling than actually opening my own agency.
- Are you sure? Maybe we should ask the rune stones.
[whimsical music]
Whoa, they all landed face up?
- Cool trick, but aren't you supposed to keep them
in the bag? - There's one missing.
- There is? - There's probably a chart.
- Wunjo.
- You're gonna keep that intuition to yourself?
- I told you. Wunjo is missing. - Yeah, but what does it mean?
- It means joy.
[whimsical music]
- Oh, you are so not Leopard material.
- Psh! Please!
I'm gonna be Grand Poobah before the year's over.
[laughing]
- I'm just glad that you and Sam are getting to do this together.
- Yeah, hopefully he is too.
- You guys will be magnifiquein no time.
- Sounds like your French is coming along.
- You could say that.
- I could also say I know you well enough
to know that something's up.
- Something might be up.
- Might it be about a guy? - It might be.
- Well, we're friends, you can tell me.
- I have a date tomorrow. - With?
- Well, you know him as... "'Sup, bro?"
- You're going on a date with your French teacher.
- Oui. - Mm-hmm.
- But it's barely a date. I wanna keep it super casual and--
- Cozy bar, couple glasses of Cab, cheese board?
- You do know me.
- I know it was you, Stepho. You broke my heart.
- I broke your heart?
- I think she's quoting The Godfather.
- Oh. - 'Cause this one dug out
my best rosebush and planted it under my duvet.
- And why exactly would I do that?
- Because I wouldn't pardon your parking ticket.
- I would never ruin your roses over my parking ticket!
I've already moved on. [bell ringing]
In fact... Thank you.
Consider this my olive branch. On the house.
- You're probably safe. [gasping]
That's a tuna melt. I hear that revenge is best served cold.
- Oh! Ho, ho, ho!
I'm hip to the little game that you're playing,
keeping your friends close and your enemies closer...
but you can't trick a Tinsdale.
- It's OK. You'll know what to say when you see him.
- You think so? Sure doesn't feel like it.
[dramatic music]
- Ask him why he left you. - What did you say?
- I said: here's your key. - Oh yeah, thanks.
- You OK? - Thought I saw my dad.
- Can I offer you a shrimp puff, ladies?
[dramatic music] - Dad?
- Hi, Joybean.
- Why don't we get you upstairs? - What?
- I said we should go upstairs.
- Thanks.
- I feel like I'm seeing my dad everywhere.
- You should lie down. Let's get up to our rooms.
- OK.
- We're missing someone.
- Did you see him again? - That ishim.
- The concierge?
- Good afternoon, ladies. How can I be of service?
- Why does your name tag say Elliot Williams?
- That is my name. - Your name is Phillip Harper.
- I'm sorry, miss. You must have me confused with someone else.
- No, you must have you confused with someone else.
- She's looking for her father. - No, I found my father.
- I assure you I'm not your father.
- How do you not know your own daughter?
- I wish I could help you, but I don't have any kids.
- It's my mistake.
- Psst! Hey, boys, over here!
- Little early for Halloween. - Stare straight ahead.
Try not to blow my cover. - Why are you undercover?
- Because I discovered that my prized rosebush sleeps
with the fishes. Well, actually with me, but you get my drift.
- I don't have a clue what you're drifting.
[gasping] - It's Stephanie!
She's toying with me.
- You think Stephanie put out a hit on your rosebush?
- After I refused to waive her parking ticket.
Who knows what other nefarious forms of payback she's brewing?
- What's your plan, Martha P.I.? - I'm gonna tail her
when she leaves, catch her in the act,
and then put an end to these shenanigans.
- Sounds like you got it all worked out, Columbo.
- Oh, I certainly hope so!
Tom's away on business and I'd hate to face another night alone
with the belle of the bistro on the loose.
If only I knew someone,
a good friend, perhaps, who owned an 11-room
bed and breakfast that was practically empty.
- Hey, I've got an idea. If it would make you feel better,
you could stay at Grey House. - Really? How sweet of you!
The thought hadn't even crossed my mind. Now skedaddle,
both of you, before I'm exposed.
- According to tradition,
here at the Benevolent Order of Leopards,
all members must write a task on a ping-pong ball
and place it in the fish bowl. Pledges must complete
three tasks before being officially invited
to join the cat pack.
Any questions before we commence?
- Not exactly brain surgery. - Seriously?
- It's alright. Not a brain surgeon.
- How about we let the games begin? I'll hand over
the picking of the first ball to my leading knight.
- Pledges will mop the floor blindfolded.
- [each, in turn]: Mop the floors blindfolded.
- Why don't we pick again?
That's not the usual type of task.
- You know the bylaws better than anybody, Grand Poobah.
What's on the ball is binding. - Sorry, boys.
The mops and buckets are in the closet.
- You don't have to do this. - What, you don't think
I can mop a floor? - That's not what I meant.
Just saying this is ridiculous. We can call it a day.
- I know what you meant. George, where's that closet?
- Over there. - He'll come around.
- Even if it had been 50 years, I thought I'd know my own dad.
- Sometimes we want something so much,
we see it how we want to see it.
- Guess I want to find him more than I thought.
- We will. Ever since I knew
that Billy Murphy was gonna kiss me under the bleachers
in the 6th grade, my intuition has never been wrong.
- My first time was on the island.
Something told me I needed to build that symbol out of rocks.
- Did it also tell you that 23 years later
we'd be sitting in this hotel room eating French fries?
- Hmm, told me it'd be onion rings.
Since we're all sharing, what was your first time?
- I don't remember. - Oh, you clearly remember.
- Come on, couldn't have been that embarrassing.
- It wasn't embarrassing at all.
- Why don't we talk about
first crushes instead? - I was 10.
[sighing]
My parents were getting ready to go out, and um...
I had a terrible feeling that I would never see them again.
Turns out I was right.
I never tried to stop them.
[whimsical music]
- Hmm!
Oh my,
don't those look delectable! - Good morning, Martha.
Don't forget the honey butter for that biscuit.
- Oh!
"Ahtram". What is Ahtram?
- Read it backwards.
- M...artha... Oh! NO!!!
- It's strawberry. - Huh?
[cheerful music]
- You and I need to have a little chat.
- If we're gonna have the same conversation
as before, it's gonna be the same outcome.
- Let's change the conversation. - What do you wanna talk about?
- I wanna talk about Elliot. Tell me about your life
23 years ago. - OK, this conversation's over.
- Why? Got something to hide? - Clearly you think I do.
- Then put my mind at ease and tell me about 23 years ago.
- I can't. - You mean you won't.
- I mean I don't remember.
- What do you mean, you don't remember?
- I woke up one morning when I was 27
and forgot everything that happened before that.
- And you decided to leave that little nugget out?
- What do you want from me? - It's not what I want,
it's what your daughter wants. - I don't have a daughter.
- You can't remember.
How can you definitively say that you're not her father?
- Because a father would never forget his daughter.
- I hope you're right.
What's in your pocket?
- Hey! I'm all ready to go. - I just got here.
- Oh... thought we had reservations.
- We do, at Chez Stephanie. I've got entertainment
and provisions. - Uh...
[chuckling]
- You wanna grab some plates while I get this set up?
- So...
what is the entertainment portion of this date, exactly?
- Knights Off.You ever played?
- Not really a video game kind of girl.
[cell phone chiming] Need to get that?
- Yeah, two seconds.
We're not gonna need all that.
You, uh... you like ribs?
- I prefer a baked brie.
- How do you feel about... root beer?
- Same way I feel about ribs.
- Mmm. - Good BLT?
- Not as good as Sam's,
but not too shabby.
- Are you OK?
- Been a rough trip. How about you?
- It's been a rough trip.
- Guess who's coming to lunch.
- Sorry to intrude. Your cousin didn't leave me much choice.
- Why is he here? - Turns out he has a gap
in his memory. - And you know how to bridge it?
- Like the Golden Gate. Get the rune stones.
- You wanna do a reading? - I want you to dump them out.
Look familiar?
[whimsical music]
- Wunjo.
[soft music]
[gasping]
- Joybean.
[soft music]
- Ha!!
[panting]
- I know your biscuits are burning,
but hang in there, boys. Five more seconds.
- Four, three, two...
one! [laughing]
- Drink up! [laughing]
- Ahh!!
[coughing]
Are you two serious?
It was the longest minute of my life!
- Paradise pepper is anything but paradise.
- What are you doing? - I'm hanging with you.
- Somebody just drink the milk! - I'm not thirsty.
- Yeah, I'm like a... a camel.
[laughing] - Taking you down this time.
- You know what? You win, Sam.
- Your mother's intuition was never wrong.
- She sent you away. - She knew something terrible
was going to happen if we were together.
- But Julia couldn't see what it was.
When it's that close to us, it's never clear.
- She knew by separating, she and I would both be safe.
Was she right?
- She died in a car accident
when I was 17.
- I'm sorry I couldn't be there for you.
- How could you stay away for so long?
- We were trying to protect you from losing us both.
Leaving was the hardest thing I've ever done.
Your mother gave me a tea to drink.
She knew it was the only way I could go through with it.
- That's why he didn't remember having a daughter.
- Do you have the amulet? - Your mother told you about it?
- No, she didn't tell me anything.
I had a dream that she put it around your neck.
- She told me it was an important piece
of family history and it needed to be protected
because one day it would protect all of you.
- Protect us from what? - I don't know.
But I hid it to keep it safe.
Your mother knew when you needed it you'd be able to find it.
- Instead, we found you. - And I can take you to it.
- You do realise we're on a date, right?
- And you realise Lady Bethany isn't gonna rescue herself
from the evil wizard, right? [cell phone chiming]
- Everything OK?
- Yeah, it's my buddy Eric.
He's making a big decision. - And he wants youradvice?
- I've been around the block. - On your bike!
What's his problem? - He doesn't know
if he should quit his job and backpack around Europe.
- That's easy. He shouldn't. - It's not thateasy.
That kind of life experience is invaluable.
- And what about what's valuable? Like a paycheque?
- Well, if I hadn't moved to France,
learned the language, I wouldn't be teaching.
- Well, just 'cause
it worked out for you doesn't mean it works out for everyone.
- Sounds like the mantra of someone
that's used to playing it safe.
- I own three businesses.
- And that is impressive, but...
I don't know, haven't you ever wanted to broaden your horizons?
[clears throat]
Shut the front door! Did you just melt the troll
on your first attempt?
- I call that broadening my horizons.
- I've created a monster. - Oh, you've created a champion.
Let's try one of these. - Yeah.
- No old barn. - No oak tree.
- No chance of finding the amulet.
- That tree had been there 150 years.
I never thought... - Magic of the movies...
- Would take down the magic of the Merriwicks.
- One final task and you boys will have earned your spot.
"Wash and wax every member's car
in the parking lot." - Yeah, I'm not doing that.
- I don't blame ya. There's definitely
something fishy about this fish bowl.
- Are you accusing me of breaking the bond of the bowl?
- You're the leading knight! The bowl falls under your watch.
- You're the Grand Poobah! The entire lodge falls under your--
- Alright, gentlemen. Just go to your corners.
- I'd follow his advice if I were you, Feldman.
- Oh, any time, any place, O'Hanrahan!
- OK, guys. You're friends! This isn't how you work things out.
- Maybe this is exactly how they work things out.
- Wouldn't it be better if they took a civil approach
and just talked to each other? - They will when they're ready.
- Guys, we argue 32 times a week.
But at the end of the day, there's not a better wingman
out there. - You're making me blush.
[laughing]
- Having fun yet? - I'll tell you what.
Considering the extenuating circumstances,
as your Grand Poobah,
I move that we put an end to the final task and make
these three pledges full-fledged Leopards.
- I second that. - There any objections?
Then let the record show
we're moving straight to the induction ceremony.
- Actually, I object.
- Ribs and wizards. Who knew? - I knew.
[chuckling]
Maybe next time we can try your idea of casual.
- Next time? That's presumptuous.
- I presume I'm right.
- Don't make me regret admitting I had a good time.
- So did I.
I should... I should go.
You've got a French quiz to study for.
- Or...
we could try and melt some more trolls.
- Yeah. Yes. - Uh-huh?
[laughing]
- That's pretty bold, messing with the fish bowl.
What's your beef with these three pledges?
- Actually, my beef's with Adam. - Do we know each other?
- Yeah, we used to, 20 years ago.
Appleton High?
Chess club, first chair match. You beat me in 4 moves.
- Scholar's Mate. Impressive. - Jason Wasilewski.
- Yeah, that's right, Jason Wasilewski,
except thanks to you everyone called me Jason Wasaloser.
[snorting] - That's unfortunate.
- What's unfortunate is that match ruined my life.
I couldn't stop thinking about it.
I got a B on my calculus test.
That dropped my GPA to 3.9 and I didn't get into MIT.
I never became an engineer, and now I work for my cousin Andy
at his accounting firm. - Wow. I don't know what to say.
- Say you'll give me a rematch. - You really think
a rematch is gonna change things?
- I haven't been studying the world's masters for nothing.
- Looks like we're playing some chess.
- I'd love to stay to watch these two lock horns,
but I gotta go meet my real estate agent.
- You're moving to warmer pastures, eh?
- Well, I'm finally selling that piece of land I own
down by Crescent Creek.
- It wouldn't happen to be big enough
to hold a small church, would it?
- It's big enough to hold ten small churches.
[sighing]
- I guarantee you nobody's getting in here, Madam Mayor.
- Well, I certainly hope not, but my nemesis has proven to be
quite stealthy. - Well, they won't get past me.
I'll be watching the security cameras all night.
- Oh! I feel safer already. - Need anything else?
- Just 8 hours of solemn slumber.
- Sweet dreams. - Hm. They'd better be.
[sighing]
- So, are we gonna talk about the elephant in the room?
- There's not a lot to talk about when you lose in 2 moves.
- I haven't played in a while. I was a little rusty.
- Or a little magnanimous.
- Are you saying he threw the match, Doc?
- Thanks for an interesting day, but I'm gonna head out.
- I'll help you with the door.
It gets a little sticky sometimes.
- Guess they want us to have a conversation.
- Probably a good idea.
Pff...
- Twenty years.
That's a long time for Jason to hold a grudge.
- So is 4 days. Look,
I know this was not your fault.
- I went pretty hard for that rebound.
- I'm trying to apologise. Don't make me change my mind.
- Hey, apologise away.
- I just did. [snorting]
And you were right. I was blaming you.
- I know.
- Come on, I'll buy you some wings.
- Last time we were together, you were tucking me in.
- You said: "Guess what I'm gonna dream about."
- And you said: "A rainbow wrapped around the moon."
I was mad at you for so long.
- And now?
- I wish Mom could be with us.
- We'll always be a family.
- Hey, can I ask you something?
- Of course. - How did you and Mom meet?
- I could say we met under the stars on a gondola in Venice...
- But...?
- We met working the cotton candy booth at the county fair.
- I love cotton candy.
- I didn't think being engaged would be this tricky.
- You should try being married.
[sighing] I would like to think
that you and Donovan are gonna be just fine.
- You don't know?
- This one's kind of fuzzy.
- It's been a long day.
- Yes. Definitely a little tired.
[melancholic music]
- You've been thinking about your parents.
- I wish I could've done for them what...
what Julia did for Phillip.
- You were a kid.
You were 10.
You didn't understand what you were feeling.
- I promised myself
that I would never ignore my intuition again.
- It's not your fault, Cassie.
[melancholic music]
- Miss Borden,
might I have a moment for a student-teacher conference?
- Oh, sounds serious. Am I getting detention?
- No, but you did get...
a C on your quiz. - Huh! Not bad for not studying.
- Lucky for you, I graded on a curve.
- Well...
- What's this?
- Your grade for the date. - I failed?
- Relax. There'll be a make-up date tomorrow night.
- Hm. Is it casual? - Yes,
but it's my kind of casual.
- I'd better start studying.
- Don't worry, I'll be grading on a curve.
- With the amulet gone, what do we do next?
- Now we each pick a stone.
Laguz. Means water.
Gebo. Gift.
Algiz. Protection.
- The amulet was for protection.
- Yeah, but what do water and gift have to do with it?
- Shouldn't one of us be able to figure this out?
- I got nothing. - Maybe we're too close to it.
- Do you ever wish that we were just a normal family?
- I think making a wish just might be the answer.
[knocking]
- You're awfully chipper for someone whose moonlit mischief
was curtailed. - Oh, here we go again.
- I take it you've come to try to plead your case... again?
- No please, just thank you.
- Thank me? Whatever for? - For pardoning my ticket. I got
an email saying it was forgiven. - That's impossible.
- Well, says right here you sent it at 3:32AM.
- Aha! You've just been hoisted
by your own petard! I was drifting in dreamland at 3:32AM.
- So what, you think I snuck in here and sent it to myself?
- Well, we're about to find out.

[stammering] - That's interesting.
- Oh, is that what you call being caught red-handed?

- I was sleepwalking?
- Looks more like sleepworking. - My rosebush. The jelly!
- My parking ticket.

- What would I do without you?
[sighing]
- Hm.
[sighing] - I needed that.
- You OK?
- I'm getting there, yeah.
- Wanna talk about it?
[sighing] - I do.
There's a lot I wanna tell you.
- Well, the tea's already on.
[soft music]
[sighing]
