ABIGAIL Because of a 200 year old curse? MARTHA Yes. It was the beginning of the end for every Merriwick and Davenport couple ever since. GRACE How am I supposed to know which college will make me happy? CASSIE Well, which one feels right? GRACE I’m not sure yet. SAM Well that’s why going to Wellingsly with your mom this weekend is such a good idea. CASSIE Yeah, if she ever gets packed. How about you, you gonna be able to hold down Grey House all by yourself? SAM I do run a hospital. CASSIE Right. So you should have no problem with our two guests. They will be here at lunchtime. SAM Gives me plenty of time to work on my putting. GRACE Oh. Uh, how is your speech going? CASSIE Oh uh— ABIGAIL What speech? GRACE We are going to Wellingsly this weekend. Mom’s being honoured by the holistic medicine department. CASSIE Well it’s not a department, but they are offering their first official class through the medical school. ABIGAIL Sounds like a good reason for a mother/daughter road trip. GRACE Yeah and I am being hosted by a student in the dorm. Getting to experience a weekend of life at Wellingsly. ABIGAIL Is your mom pushing you towards her alma mater? CASSIE Not pushing, but hoping. GRACE You should totally come. ABIGAIL I would, but I have no one to watch the flower shop. ABIGAIL Bring me back a Wellingsly sweatshirt. DONOVAN I couldn’t wait to do that again. ABIGAIL Then why did you stop? DONOVAN To tell you I’m picking you up at seven to take you to dinner at Bella Cecina and then a moonlit harbor cruise. ABIGAIL You are awfully confident. DONOVAN Confident in how I feel about you. DONOVAN See you tonight. MARTHA Theodore! Just the producer I was looking for. THEODORE What is all this? MARTHA Change, glorious change. MARTHA Is the light too harsh? THEODORE The light is perfect down at the studio where you’re supposed to be filming Middleton Today in five minutes. MARTHA The TV business is changing Theodore; we must change along with it. THEODORE Change? You’ve done one show. MARTHA Testing! One, two, three. MARTHA That was before I was back in office.

MARTHA Greetings, Middleton, and welcome to Mayor Martha’s Musings. A new series, where I, Mayor Martha, shall delight you with all the goings on within our magical city of Middleton.

You changed your mind? ABIGAIL What’s a Merriwick road trip without all the Merriwicks? SAM You’re in room nine, top of the stairs. If you need anything, suggestions on what to do while you’re in town, just let us know. GREG Unfortunately, we won’t have time for sight seeing. Jack’s auditioning for a violin master class. NICK How long have you been playing? JACK Since I was five. SAM That’s dedication. GREG He’s made it his life’s work. NICK Life? What are you like, sixteen? When I was five I couldn’t even tie my shoes. SAM He still can’t. GREG Practice makes perfect. GREG Actually, I forgot to mention Jack practices early. SAM Not a problem. We’re up early anyway. Uh, Nick will help you with your bags. NICK I will? NICK I will. SAM We were gonna shoot some hoops out back a little bit later on if you wanna join us? GREG Thanks, but I know Jack, he won’t risk getting hurt before his big audition. SAM Fair enough. ABIGAIL I’m not sure why we had to stop at a diner. GRACE We’re on a road trip, we have to stop at a diner. CASSIE Yes, especially one with legendary chili cheese fries. ABIGAIL I cannot imagine you eating chili cheese fries. CASSIE Really? I’ve been imagining me eating them for the last hour. GRACE Is it your boyfriend? ABIGAIL We’ve been on one date. GRACE Well, don’t you like him? ABIGAIL Where are those fries? GRACE Hey -- what are you doing? ABIGAIL Taking an interest in your romantic life, since you took one in mine. GRACE Well, prepare to be disappointed -- it’s just a cat video from Luke. ABIGAIL Luke my-former-intern Luke? CASSIE The guy you work with? GRACE Yes and we are just friends. ABIGAIL Cassie, what’s your opinion on cat videos? Friends or more than friends? CASSIE I dunno, I’m gonna have to see for myself. GRACE Mom. Stop. WAITRESS You ladies are sure in a good mood. GRACE And only one thing could put us in a better mood, three orders of chili cheese fries. CASSIE Extra chili, extra cheese. WAITRESS Sorry, the fryer’s broken. GRACE What? No chili cheese fries? CASSIE Cheese fries— CASSIE What else are you famous for? WAITRESS I’m pretty confident you’ll like our apple pie. CASSIE What do you think? ABIGAIL I think we should get back on the road. CASSIE Okay, two slices to go please. WAITRESS Coming right up. STEPHANIE Yes. I like this. You can order all of it. ADAM Hey. STEPHANIE Hey, you. STEPHANIE The usual? ADAM You know my usual? STEPHANIE It’s my job. ADAM Remember that dinner for two you donated to my junior Eagles? STEPHANIE Of course, yeah. Who was the lucky bidder? ADAM I was. STEPHANIE Congratulations.

JACK Gone. SAM How is that fair, it’s two against one. SAM You wanna jump in? JACK Cool. SAM Push A and B to throw a fastball, B and C for a curve. GREG What game you guys playing?

SAM You sure you guys are on the same page? GREG About practicing? Of course. CASSIE Oh you see that bench? GRACE Yeah. CASSIE That is where I studied for six straight hours before my art history final. GRACE What? ABIGAIL Please tell me you got an A plus? CASSIE And that tree is where Howard Langfield asked me out on our first date. WILLOW And look at you, still bragging about it a decade later. CASSIE Willow... WILLOW Cassie, it’s been so long. Thanks for coming. CASSIE Of course. Willow, uh this is my cousin Abigail. WILLOW Hi cousin Abigail. ABIGAIL Hi. WILLOW Hi. CASSIE And my daughter, Grace. WILLOW This is your daughter? CASSIE Yeah. WILLOW Daughter. It’s so nice to meet you. GRACE My mom has told me so much about you. CASSIE Yeah, Willow and I went backpacking across Nepal the summer after I graduated. WILLOW We did. GRACE Oh man, that’s so cool. WILLOW Well your mom inspired me to do a lot of cool things. She’s actually the reason I’m a professor. CASSIE She is the head of the Humanities Department. WILLOW Oh yeah, although we’ve spent the last year trying to launch our holistic medicine course. ABIGAIL Well it sounds like that was worth it. MATTHEW Willow, hey. WILLOW Oh, hey. MATTHEW I just wanted to let you know that Arnica you suggested worked wonders on Jen Pagano’s ankle. WILLOW Well, high five. Good, I told you! Uh this is my dear friend Cassie, and Grace, Abigail— MATTHEW Pleasure. WILLOW Matthew is our volleyball coach. ABIGAIL Hi. WILLOW He’s also a very vocal supporter of our Eastern Medicine curriculum so that’s cool. MATTHEW Yeah without it, I wouldn’t be coaching today. CASSIE Well, we need more coaches like you. WILLOW Yes, we do. GRACE Will you be at the reception? MATTHEW Wouldn’t miss it. MATTHEW Really was nice meeting all of you. CASSIE Oh, I love that the students are still leaving their handprints on the rock. WILLOW Me too. GRACE Why do they do that? WILLOW Just to show their commitment to the school. GRACE Did you do it too, Mom? CASSIE My handprints are under there somewhere. ABIGAIL Maybe your handprint will be there one day. GRACE Yeah. GRACE Maybe. THEODORE Well, the numbers are in and it’s official... MARTHA Let me guess. Mayor Martha’s Musings is the binge-worthy sensation of the season. THEODORE Nope. MARTHA A cult hit among my Musers? Those are my more passionate fans... MARTHA Oh just hand it over. THEODORE Here you go. MARTHA Two? I had two viewers? THEODORE Technically, that is record-breaking. MARTHA Well, that’s impossible. You need to run those numbers again, you’ve been hacked. THEODORE Hacked? MARTHA Sweep the computers. THEODORE The only thing we need to sweep is this show under the rug. MARTHA I don’t understand. Was it the tone? The content? Couldn’t have been the performance. THEODORE Is there an option D, for all of the above? MARTHA There must be a way to jolt our ratings. THEODORE Let me know if you figure it out because the show will not go on as is. ELLA So, this is it. GRACE What? Ella! Wait, this is amazing! How did you get your own room? ELLA Well, I had to agree to host two incoming students a month but totally worth it. GRACE Yeah. ELLA I hope you don’t mind the blow-up bed. GRACE No, not at all. It looks... perfectly inflated. ELLA The perspective student committee left this for you. GRACE It’s even my size! ELLA Well they’re one size fits all so. GRACE Alright. GRACE What are we going to do first? Because I just want to soak everything in. ELLA Don’t worry, we’ll make sure you see everything. ELLA So what made you consider Wellingsly? GRACE Oh uh, my mom. Yeah, she went here. She has told me so many great stories. ELLA That sounds like my dad. He still wishes I went to UCS. GRACE Oh wait, that’s where my stepbrother got in.. yeah. GRACE Do you regret not going? ELLA Well, it’s closer to home. ELLA But the bio program here is amazing. GRACE Yeah. ELLA Anyway, let’s show you what it’s like at Wellingsly. GRACE I love it already! NICK What is that? SAM Sounds like we’re being haunted by Tchaikovsky. SAM Morning, Jack. JACK Sorry, didn’t mean to wake you. NICK Nah, we always get up before sunrise. SAM Maybe we can find you a room that’s more soundproof. NICK Yeah like the basement, or a hotel across town. GREG Wow, Shostakovich’s Concerto number 2. Sounds great. JACK Thanks, Dad. GREG That used to be his weakest piece. We’ve got this audition in the bag. SAM We? GREG We’ve been doing this together a long time. JACK Team Stafford. GREG Team Stafford. SAM I’ll make us some coffee. ELLA Hello. Room service. ELLA Look, here you go. GRACE I am still full from the four courses of ramen we had last night. ELLA Are you sure? I got you tea. GRACE I’ll take it. ELLA Here and I got these. There is a Krispy Sweet in the student center. GRACE Those are my two favorite words of the English language. GRACE You really are the best host. ELLA I am? GRACE Yeah. I don’t know, I could like really see myself here. Putting my handprint on the rock. ELLA You do that, you’re all in. GRACE Well didn’t you do it your first day? ELLA No.. uh I never did actually. GRACE How come? ELLA I guess I was waiting for my dad to be here, but he hasn’t been able to get the time off work so. GRACE Yeah, I get it. GRACE I would want my mom to see. GRACE You uh— GRACE You really miss your dad, don’t you? ELLA It’s just been tough being away, you know. GRACE I guess I never really thought about everything that you leave behind. ELLA Hey, we should go. We’re running late, we gotta get to the career centre. GRACE Right. GRACE Well uh, lucky for us I’m already dressed. ELLA Fantastic. GRACE Hey uh, do you want to come to this reception that’s honouring my mom? I heard it’s being catered. ELLA I would, but I have study group. GRACE Fine. I’ll bring you back food. ELLA Cool. GRACE I know. ELLA Thanks. GRACE I’m cool like that. STEPHANIE Hi Martha, what can I get for you? MARTHA An iced tea, please with two shots of sweetener. MARTHA One for each of my viewers. STEPHANIE Uh, you wouldn’t happen to know who Adam is bringing here on his private dinner tonight, would you? MARTHA Adam’s bringing a date? Here? MARTHA I don’t know what’s more shocking... the date or the fact I didn’t know. STEPHANIE It’s weird though, right? Me cooking for them. MARTHA As I recall, you turned him down. You can’t fault him for moving on. STEPHANIE No, you’re right. I’m happy for him. MARTHA It doesn’t sound like it. Me thinks thou doth protest too much. STEPHANIE Way too much. Why is this so hard to figure out? MARTHA I’d offer some advice, but I’m dealing with my own problems. STEPHANIE What happened? MARTHA Martha’s musing is a flop and I have no idea how to save it. STEPHANIE Well, when I had a rough month here I brought out my spicy tapas. Not everyone liked them, but everyone remembered them. MARTHA Of course. MARTHA I need to be the spicy tapas. CASSIE So there are over a hundred students in your new class? WILLOW And it all happened because of your first holistic club. CASSIE And all the work that you have put in it. WILLOW Well good thing I had the flu that day, right? CASSIE What are you talking about? WILLOW You don’t remember? CASSIE No. WILLOW I was your art history T.A. and I got the flu and you gave me elderberry tincture? CASSIE Right. Well, I didn’t want you sick while you were grading my final. WILLOW Thank you and that was my very first taste of holistic medicine. CASSIE Literally. WILLOW Literally. CASSIE Thank you. WILLOW Thank you. WILLOW To elderberry tinctures. Cheers. CASSIE Cheers to that. MATTHEW Abigail... ABIGAIL Hey, Coach. ABIGAIL How’s your team looking this year? MATTHEW A few spots left to recruit, but I have my power players. ABIGAIL Think you’ll make the tournament? MATTHEW Well, that would be a first. I’d settle for winning a few games. ABIGAIL I loved winning. MATTHEW Oh, you played? ABIGAIL Wing Spiker, right side. MATTHEW You any good? ABIGAIL I can hold my own. MATTHEW I have no doubt. MATTHEW So why don’t you come by practice? Maybe show the girls a few things. ABIGAIL I appreciate the offer, but we’re heading home tomorrow. WILLOW Excuse me everybody if I could have your attention please. Thank you so much for coming. Oh it’s so good to see your faces today. I have to tell you it is a privilege for me to call this beautiful woman my friend. She has affected all of us. Her passion and belief in the benefits of holistic medicine is why we’re all here so please help me welcome the wonderful, Cassie Nightingale. CASSIE Thank you so much, Willow, love you. CASSIE It is great to be here again. You know, they say that when mind, body and spirit are aligned, that you can truly harness your full potential. Well that has never been more true than right now with this incredible woman’s program that she’s put in place. NICK Think fast. JACK Probably shouldn’t. NICK It’s one shot, it’s no big deal. JACK I should go practice. NICK Aren’t you bored of practicing all the time? JACK Yeah. NICK So you’re doing it because your dad makes you? JACK He doesn’t make me, I just know it means a lot to him. NICK Woo! NICK Check you out. The prodigy’s got some skills. JACK We had a hoop at our house. My dad and I used to play all the time. NICK What happened? JACK I landed first violin in the school orchestra and it kinda— GREG Jack! JACK Takes up all your time. JACK Here, toss me the rock. GREG Hey, hey, hey. Are you okay? NICK I’m so sorry, I— JACK I think I jammed my finger. GREG Come on. Let’s get you inside. NICK I’ll go call my dad. SAM Can you bend them? SAM Okay. SAM That’s enough. SAM Well the good news is they’re not broken. GREG But the bad news? SAM It’s probably a mild sprain. GREG Which means he won’t be able to audition. SAM Well that depends on Jack. JACK I guess I could try. GREG Not sure if that’s a good idea, I don’t want it to get worse. JACK I’m sorry. GREG There’ll be other auditions. SAM Now let’s get those fingers taped up. ABIGAIL I’ll be right back. CASSIE You and the volleyball coach seemed to hit it off. ABIGAIL He’s interesting. CASSIE More interesting than Donovan? CASSIE Ah, there’s that smile again. ABIGAIL What smile? CASSIE You know you’re not fooling anyone except maybe yourself. ABIGAIL Okay fine, I really like Donovan. CASSIE So what’s the problem? ABIGAIL I really like Donovan. CASSIE Then you should tell him. CASSIE Another text from Luke? GRACE I think he misses me. CASSIE I think you’re right. GRACE Seriously? CASSIE So how’s it going with your student host? GRACE Oh uh, Ella’s great. Yeah, she and I could totally be friends. CASSIE Always good to have a new friend in a new place. GRACE I’m not sure she’ll be here next year. CASSIE Why is that? GRACE She’s having a really hard time being away from home. I mean her and her dad are really close. CASSIE Like us. GRACE I was so caught up with the excitement of going away to college. GRACE Mom what if I feel the same way that Ella does? CASSIE You might. CASSIE But I can come visit you any time. GRACE It’s a three hour drive. CASSIE It could be a three hundred hour drive. If you need me, I will be here. GRACE Promise? CASSIE I promise. MARTHA Trust me. Moving back into the studio is not the answer. THEODORE And this is? Your first show was a disaster. MARTHA That was a small stumble on our ascent to the mountaintop. Get ready for in-depth stories that will rival the best in investigative journalism. This show is going to be muy cilantro! THEODORE You mean, muy caliente? MARTHA Oh well, however you say it, it’s going to be spicy. STAGE MANAGER Three, two. MARTHA Greetings, Middleton, and welcome to Mayor Martha’s Musings. We’ve got a great show tonight, so lower your lap bar and get ready to roll as we welcome my friend and yours City Comptroller, Harold Bunker. HAROLD This is so neat. Thank you for having me on the show. MARTHA Well, we go back a long way. So Harold tell us, what exactly does a Comptroller do? HAROLD I suppose I’m like a chief auditing executive. MARTHA Oh, so you catch mistakes? HAROLD Exactly, like in a budget or a proposal. MARTHA But not in city parks? HAROLD I’m sorry, I don’t follow. MARTHA My question or the law? MARTHA This is a water bottle that you threw in the trash yesterday when there was a recycling bin two feet away. HAROLD I, I was in a hurry, you know, my dog was pulling on the leash. HAROLD I, I tried. MARTHA Did you? Did you really, Harold? Or did you leave this plastic blight to pollute our waterways... HAROLD It’s just one bottle. HAROLD This is a... this is a hit piece. MARTHA Well, it seems Harold needs to learn a little self-control. ADAM This looks incredible. ADAM You look incredible. STEPHANIE I look like I was cooking all day, but thank you. STEPHANIE Where’s your date? ADAM I’m looking at her. STEPHANIE You want me to have dinner with you? ADAM I do. STEPHANIE Well I am flattered, but we talked about this. ADAM We talked about being friends. ADAM Friends can have dinner together, right? STEPHANIE Can’t argue with that. ADAM Since you cooked. ADAM I’ll serve. CASSIE This is for you. WILLOW Thank you. WILLOW Peppermint tea, that’s an interesting choice. CASSIE To calm the nerves -- WILLOW During times of stress. Is it that obvious? CASSIE That you have a decision to make? WILLOW How do you know what’s in my head without me telling you? Stop it. CASSIE I’ll never tell. WILLOW Hill Valley U they asked me to come head their holistic medicine department. All of it. CASSIE That’s amazing. WILLOW Yes. CASSIE What are you gonna do? WILLOW I have no idea. I mean this has been my home for twenty years. WILLOW What would you do? CASSIE Oh I would.. take a walk. WILLOW I knew you were going to say that. I've taken so many walks on this campus. CASSIE You should be really proud of everything you’ve accomplished here. WILLOW Yeah I know but, I just want more for this school. I mean, one holistic medicine class isn’t enough, you know that. CASSIE I have no doubt that this is just the beginning. WILLOW I’ve missed you, please don’t go. CASSIE Oh. CASSIE You know what I miss? WILLOW What? CASSIE Late night runs to Mikeys Burgers. WILLOW Oh, those burgers and those strawberry shakes and those really well done fries. CASSIE Yes. Should we go? WILLOW Yes! No, they closed a couple years ago. CASSIE We’ll always have the memories, right? WILLOW Yeah. WILLOW Some really good memories. CASSIE The best. WILLOW I just don’t know. It would be really, really hard to say goodbye to this place. CASSIE Sounds like you already made a decision. WILLOW Well, I still want that walk. CASSIE Let’s go. WILLOW Let’s go. CASSIE Okay. GRACE Step left, step right, jump back and turn. ELLA Step left, step right, jump back and turn. ELLA I’m sorry. Oh, I thought it was jump back then slide. ELLA We should have gone for a beginner video. GRACE Oh, this is the beginner. ELLA Oh okay, so we just have no rhythm. It’s fine. GRACE Well, if I come to Wellingsly next year we can work on that. ELLA Yeah. GRACE Are you okay? ELLA I just I uh. ELLA I might not be here next year. GRACE ‘Cause you miss home? ELLA I just really miss my dad. ELLA Oh uh— ELLA Hey, Dad. ELLA Yeah, of course I’m here, why? HANK Just wondering. ELLA Dad... HANK Hope I didn’t crash your party. ELLA No, of course not. What are you doing here? HANK I was in the neighbourhood, something told me I should come check on you. GRACE I’m gonna let you two catch up. ELLA Uh, we’ll see you later. HANK So, how’s it going? ELLA Hi! SAM Hey. SAM How’s that finger? JACK I guess it’s a little better. SAM I guess it’s a lot better. SAM Or it was never hurt at all. JACK Are you gonna tell my dad? SAM We’ve got doctor/patient confidentiality. SAM Why didn’t you wanna go on the audition? JACK I’m just not into violin like I used to be. SAM There’s nothing wrong with that. JACK To you. SAM You know, dads can be a lot more understanding than you think. JACK He’s always talking about me going to Juilliard. It’s his dream to see me play in the Chicago Symphony. SAM I bet he’d rather see you achieve your dream. JACK I don’t know. JACK I think he’s going to be disappointed in me. SAM Not if you’re honest with him. GREG Honest about what? JACK There’s something I need to tell you. SAM I think I’ll let you guys talk. MATTHEW I’m really glad your cousin got honoured. ABIGAIL Yeah, me too. ABIGAIL She deserves it. MATTHEW She does. MATTHEW And I also got to meet you. ABIGAIL Don’t you coaches have a curfew? MATTHEW We’re playing near Blairsville next week, why don’t you come to the game and I can take you for dinner afterwards? ABIGAIL That’s really sweet. MATTHEW But, you have a boyfriend? ADAM I think this is the closest thing to euphoria. STEPHANIE Uh-huh. STEPHANIE So what would you have done if I said no? ADAM Requested one large doggy bag. STEPHANIE Well I am really glad you surprised me. ADAM Me too. ADAM Can I ask you something? STEPHANIE Uh-oh. Sounds serious. ADAM Are you dating anyone right now? STEPHANIE Uh— STEPHANIE I went on a couple of dates with someone, but we both realized that we were better off as business partners. So no, I don’t have a boyfriend. STEPHANIE Can I ask you something? ADAM Uh-oh. Sounds serious. STEPHANIE What made you wanna be a chaplain? ADAM When I was a kid, my grandma took me to church every Sunday. I never really wanted to go, but then I’d see how much her faith meant to her. ADAM When she got sick, her faith got even stronger. ADAM I remember when the chaplain would come to visit, her face would light up. ADAM Knowing that someone could bring that kind of joy to another person. ADAM That he could inspire her, even when things got rough. ADAM I just knew, that, that’s the kind of man I wanted to be. SAM You really love that stuff, don’t you. NICK Yeah NICK I do. SAM Hey, can I ask you a question? NICK I’ll take out the garbage as soon as I’m finished. SAM No. SAM Actually. SAM I was wondering if you ever worry about disappointing me? NICK Kinda. NICK Didn’t you with grandpa? SAM I guess. But he always made me feel like I could tell him anything. Good or bad. SAM I hope you feel the same way? NICK Don’t worry... I do. NICK Hey, Dad... NICK Thanks. SAM You’re welcome. SAM Now take out the garbage. THEODORE You’re not gonna believe this, the ratings for the show are through the roof. MARTHA You mean... THEODORE You’re a hit. A phenom. Middleton loves you. MARTHA Well of course they do. When you think of investigative journalism, you think of me! THEODORE It’s time to go bigger. MARTHA Bigger? THEODORE Yeah, more gossip. More dirt. More spice. MARTHA More spice. GRACE I gotta say, perfect colour choice. It stands out, yet blends right in. ELLA Your turn? GRACE I uh, I think I’m gonna wait ‘til fall. ELLA Does that mean you’re gonna come here? GRACE It means maybe... leaning towards yes. CASSIE Maybe, leaning towards yes. GRACE Don’t get excited. CASSIE Oh, I would never think of it. GRACE Ella, this is my mom. CASSIE Hi, I’m Cassie. ELLA Ella and I’m with you. I want Grace to come here too. ELLA This is my dad. CASSIE Oh, hello. ELLA Professor Adams? WILLOW Hi, Ella. ELLA Wow. I can’t believe you recognize me. WILLOW Well yeah, you are left side, back of the lecture hall. ELLA Her holistic medicine class is really popular. CASSIE What do you think of it so far? ELLA It’s amazing... I’ve learned so much. WILLOW That’s very flattering, thank you. ELLA I know a lot of bio majors feel the exact same way. ELLA Uh but, we should head out. I just got an alert, there’s free pizza in the student centre. HANK Who can turn down free pizza? GRACE Not me. I’ll see you guys later. CASSIE Enjoy. CASSIE Students love your class. Must make you so happy. WILLOW Actually, it makes me sad. I mean, one class isn’t enough right. It’s just, there’s just so much more I want to teach these students and it’s not gonna happen here at Wellingsly. CASSIE Your passion can make it happen. MARTHA So who was Adams date? STEPHANIE I was. MARTHA Well this just got interesting. How’d it go? STEPHANIE It was a disaster. MARTHA How so? STEPHANIE Well because, I like him. MARTHA What’s wrong with that? STEPHANIE Well, now I’m the rebound girl. MARTHA This is definitely a spicy situation. STEPHANIE I really like him. MARTHA Considering all he went through to arrange a date, I’d say he really likes you too. STEPHANIE I guess that’s true. MARTHA It’s absolutely true. And sometimes people rebound right into love. STEPHANIE Thanks, Martha. You’re a really good friend. MARTHA Well, you can always count on me. CASSIE Someone looks happy. WILLOW You aren’t going to believe what just happened. CASSIE Yeah, try me. WILLOW Dr. Shapiro calls me into his office and he said the school would suffer if they lost me. CASSIE I agree. It sounds like he's finally getting the value of holistic medicine. WILLOW Well, he’s coming around. He wants me to develop a specialized curriculum with the pre-med program. CASSIE And you said yes? WILLOW Of course I said yes. Thank you so much for helping me make this decision. CASSIE I just suggested we take a walk. WILLOW I think you did more than that. WILLOW I mean it’s everything that I ever. It’s everything that we ever wanted for this school. CASSIE You’ve definitely left your mark... CASSIE You know now that you’ve recommitted to Willingly uh.. WILLOW Only if you do it with me. CASSIE Let’s do it. CASSIE Come on. CASSIE Okay. GREG Got room for two more? SAM Why don’t we show these kids how it’s done? GREG They can’t handle us. JACK Hey, Dad... GREG Thanks for getting Jack to open up to me. SAM We dads gotta stick together. GREG Sometimes when you want the best for your kid you can’t see the obvious. SAM Yeah, but they’ll always see how much we care. JACK Come on, we playin’ or what? JACK Oh. MARTHA Greetings, Middleton, and welcome to another episode of the smash hit, Mayor Martha’s Musings. Today, I want to talk about relationships. MARTHA Rebound relationships. MARTHA Actually Middleton, I want to talk about our relationship. MARTHA You’ve given me your trust, but yesterday, in a feeble attempt to boost my own ratings, I betrayed that trust. MARTHA I cannot be a TV star and a mayor. So I choose to be your mayor. Your friend, your family... someone you can confide in. MARTHA And so, effective immediately I am resigning as host of Mayor Martha’s Musings, and reminding you, dear Middleton, that my door and my heart are always open. MARTHA Wait a minute. Where am I going? This is my office. MARTHA That’s a wrap. THEODORE Out. GRACE So, which do you like better, volleyball or politics? ABIGAIL Chili cheese fries. WAITRESS You’re in luck, the fryer’s fixed. GRACE Extra chili -- CASSIE Extra cheese. WAITRESS Coming right up. ABIGAIL So what do you think about college life? GRACE I uh.. GRACE I think I’m gonna love Wellingsly. CASSIE You decided? GRACE It’s officially a family tradition. CASSIE I’m so proud of you. ABIGAIL They’re lucky to have you. GRACE Thanks… and I am so lucky to have the both of you. WAITRESS Enjoy. CASSIE Thank you. CASSIE Oh, I’m so ready. GRACE Me too. GRACE Cheers. CASSIE Cheers. CASSIE Chamomile. SAM Do I know you or what? CASSIE I missed you. SAM Prove it. SAM So uh, how was being back at Wellingsly? CASSIE It was nostalgic and wonderful. CASSIE How was it running Grey House? SAM Piece of cake. SAM As you can see, everything is exactly as you left it. CASSIE Not exactly. Uh, I did see a TV in the living room. SAM Did I say how much I missed you? CASSIE Prove it. DONOVAN Lie down. Down. DONOVAN Good boy. DONOVAN Okay. ABIGAIL I couldn’t wait to do that again. DONOVAN Then why’d you stop?
