ABIGAIL ADDISON ANNOUNCER CASSIE EDWARD GEORGE GRACE JARED JUDGE KAREN MARTHA NARRATOR NICK SAM SECURITY_GUARD STEPHANIE TREVOR WOMAN WORKER NARRATOR Previously on "Good Witch". JARED The mayor lives here. MARTHA My house is in Blairsville! JARED I've been instructed to strip you of your title. Mayor Pershing. The city is yours. SAM What is it you love? GRACE I like writing. And photography. I like that a lot. SAM Then do more of that. All of it. And just figure out what you like the best. ABIGAIL So what kind of ring do you want? CASSIE Something any Merriwick woman would want. The Mirriwick ring. Oh, it's perfect. SAM Yeah. CASSIE It was October 31, 1818. In those days, Middleton and Blairsville lived in harmony. That was all about to change. Patience Merriwick's hand was promised to Roderick Davenport. Upon their exchanging of vows, the most prominent family in each town would be forever joined. But Patience's heart belonged to someone else... William Spry. William worked in the mines. It was there he unearthed a ruby like no other. Some say it held a magic inside. They would need every ounce of that magic after their secret was discovered by Roderick's family... CASSIE That night at Grey House, William was conscripted into the war... his hasty departure cleverly orchestrated by the Davenports. William vowed to return before Patience's wedding day. He promised, no matter where he was in the world, the ruby would lead his heart back to hers. Patience's father was worried she would sneak out to try and find William, so he confined her to Grey House. Or so he thought. One year later, on All Hallows' Eve, the night before her wedding to Roderick, Patience was waiting for William to come back for her and then she vanished. Neither Patience or William were ever seen again. Her betrothed, Roderick, and his family never got over the slight causing a rift between Blairsville and Middleton that exists to this day. CASSIE No one knows for sure how Patience made her way out of Grey House. Some say it was the power of the ruby, some say it was the power of true love. William wrote these letters to Patience, but they stopped when she vanished. Some say he never made his way to her. Others say GRACE That they were reunited. And that she left the ruby behind to allow true love to blossom in Middleton every Halloween since. CASSIE And you have finished that story for me ever since you were eight. GRACE I can't help it I just love it so much. KAREN Wow... that really is the Heart of Middleton... I saw a picture once, but it doesn't do it justice. CASSIE Some say a picture may be worth a thousand words, but sometimes the real thing can leave you speechless. I'm Cassie Nightingale. Welcome to Grey House. You must be Karen Alexander. KAREN The one and only. CASSIE I was on the museum curator hiring committee and your resume was very impressive. Especially your internship at the Louvre. KAREN Paris changed my life. May I? CASSIE Oh sure. This ruby's been in my family for 200 years. GRACE And I've been in her family for 18 of those. I'm Grace. CASSIE Grace is my daughter. KAREN Spectacular. GRACE I've been called worse. KAREN What? Sorry, I'm always doing that. Sometimes I'm better with objects than I am with people. GRACE Well, you clearly love your work. I hope I find something that I love that much. GEORGE I know what I'd love, a cup of coffee and a piece of Martha's pumpkin pie. Halloween can't come soon enough. I wish she'd bake that pie more than once a year. CASSIE Well, there are pumpkin scones in the dining room if that helps. GEORGE I think I could force myself to eat a couple. After I answer the door. CASSIE Shall we? GRACE You are gonna love it in Middleton. You picked the best time of year to be here. KAREN I kinda feel like Middleton picked me... or at least the museum committee did. CASSIE Well, you're welcome to stay at Grey House until you find a place to call home. KAREN Great because I'm gonna be putting all my energy into the history of Halloween exhibit at the museum... the Cotton Perriwood prophecy, the gargoyles, the infinity brick... not to mention he most important thing, how to properly display this glorious ruby. GRACE Wow, you really did your homework. KAREN Middleton is a fascinating place. And I love that you're having a black tie gala on Halloween eve. CASSIE Yes, well, it's a masquerade black tie gala celebrating the 200th anniversary of the rivalry between Middleton and Blairsville. GRACE Ooo, Abigail just texted a picture of the flowers. KAREN Are those for the gala? GRACE For my mom's wedding she's getting married the next day. KAREN How exciting. CASSIE It is exciting, though true love is tested when you're trying to find a cake that you both like. KAREN I know the cake I'd pick. I saw it at a cafe in Paris. ADDISON I adore Paris. And I adore this place. I'm Addison Brubaker. CASSIE Cassie Nightingale, welcome to Grey House. ADDISON I'm so glad I'm staying here while I'm visiting my Edward. I hope my room is ready because I have to make myself amazing. CASSIE Sam? What's wrong? SAM I just got off the phone with Barry. There's a problem at Cypress Villa CASSIE The chairs didn't arrive SAM Oh no, the chairs got there... just in time for the flood. CASSIE Sam, no. SAM The whole place is under three feet of water. CASSIE No wedding? SAM Not unless we use snorkels. CASSIE This is my favorite time of the year I don't want it to feel this way. SAM I don't either. CASSIE Let's not give up. We'll find the perfect place. SAM I would never give up... and I love how you do that. CASSIE Do what? SAM Find the best in everything. CASSIE It's easy to do when you're marrying the man of your dreams. SAM Let's just go to city hall. CASSIE That's not fair to our guests... or us. Stressing out trying to find a place last minute is not how I want to remember our wedding. SAM I can't believe we're gonna have to wait... again. CASSIE At least we have the black tie gala this weekend at the museum. SAM You still wanna go? CASSIE I do. You? SAM I do. I now pronounce us man and date. CASSIE You may now kiss your plus one. KAREN Let's take the pedestal up about six inches. MARTHA Oh, I don't know how it's possible, but that ruby gets more stunning every year. CASSIE They do say things get better with age. MARTHA Well, you and I are living proof of that. Oh dear, I can see you're not quite our Cassie today. CASSIE I'll be fine. MARTHA Fine? Oh, no no no no no. That will not do. You live in Middleton and Middleton lives for Halloween. So wedding or not, you will be transported, transfixed, dare I say, transformed from the beautiful bride you would've been into the belle of our Halloween ball... or gala in this case. CASSIE Thanks, Martha. MARTHA Believe me, you will be thoroughly distracted once you're deep in the trenches helping us to defeat Blairsville in the Halloween harvest festival brouhaha. KAREN I thought the Heart of Middleton was supposed to inspire romance, not competition. MARTHA And it most certainly does. Oodles and oodles of couples are married because of that ruby. CASSIE It works on couples, not necessarily rival towns. MARTHA Well, our Halloween feud has reached "legendary" status. It's gone viral, as the kids say. Which is why, this year, a victory is crucial. Of course, we haven't lost in the last 20 years. ABIGAIL Thank you. I appreciate you calling. See you soon. Ronnie Sue Campbell will be judging the best pumpkin pie contest at the black tie gala. KAREN The chef from "Baking with Ronnie"? I love that show. ABIGAIL Everybody loves that show and everybody's gonna love me for bringing her to Middleton. MARTHA How quickly they forget. I was the one who put in countless calls and e mails to Ronnie Sue about coming to Middleton while you were off galavanting around town. ABIGAIL If you're talking about Phil, that's over and I'm fully committed to my duties as mayor. MARTHA Just so you know, I was the mayor until a small snafu with the town boundary lines made me a citizen of Blairsville and I was rudely removed from office. ABIGAIL You were asked nicely to hand over your gavel. CASSIE Even so, no one bangs a gavel quite like you. MARTHA Thank you, Cassie, you always know exactly the right thing to say. Oh, no no no no no, you cannot put a doom and gloom prophecy next to the source of true love in Middleton. KAREN I need you to trust me, Mrs. Tinsdale, I care about the Heart as much as you do. CASSIE How 'bout we all give Karen some space and give her some time to work her magic? ABIGAIL Absolutely. It's nice to see someone working as hard as I do. CASSIE Martha worked pretty hard getting the Halloween festivities up and running. I'm sure you can appreciate that, Abigail. ABIGAIL I appreciate how easy it's gonna be for me to get re elected after the gala is a smashing success. So, thank you, Martha. MARTHA You've been mayor for all of two minutes and you're already talking about re election? ABIGAIL I like to plan ahead. MARTHA Well... STEPHANIE Have a great day. Oh hey, how you holding up? CASSIE I'm actually okay. Maybe this happened because Sam and I need to be focused on the gala. STEPHANIE Well, here is some organic iced strawberry green tea. CASSIE I'm guessing this is to soften the blow that you couldn't stop the wedding food delivery. STEPHANIE The truck literally arrived as I hung up the phone with you. I tried, but they wouldn't take it back. CASSIE I'm gonna need a few more of these. I'll write you a check. STEPHANIE I just, I feel horrible. At least let me make you and Sam dinner... the leftovers would last you a year. ABIGAIL That looks good. I'll have one of those. STEPHANIE Hello to you too. ABIGAIL I come with good news for both of you. CASSIE Does your news involve taking 150 lobster tails off my hands? ABIGAIL As a matter of fact, the caterer for the museum gala accidentally double booked the night. The city will buy all of your wedding food and consider hiring your caterer. Do you have any references? STEPHANIE Do you have any idea how much I'm going to charge you since it's so last minute? ABIGAIL I'm willing to pay a premium if you can turn the fancy wedding feast into a Halloween themed affair. STEPHANIE You're kidding, right? ABIGAIL I don't do that. STEPHANIE And I don't do themed food with two days notice. ABIGAIL You don't or you can't? STEPHANIE You want me to admit I can't... fine. But good luck finding someone who can. CASSIE I think she already has. I've seen you make 400 cupcakes in two hours for the high school homecoming. If anyone can do this, you can. STEPHANIE Looks like I'm turning filet mignon into ghoulish grill. ABIGAIL Thank you. NICK Okay, what's wrong? SAM With wanting to get some exercise nothing. NICK You haven't shot baskets, in like, forever. SAM I've been busy. NICK Well, you could go back to work. SAM Dr. Holland's covering for me. Next couple days were supposed to be the final push before the wedding. NICK Kinda hard to adjust? SAM Well, I'm more worried about Cassie. NICK Cassie's not the one playing basketball in the middle of the day. SAM It's like when you spend all your time studying for a test when it's over, you don't really know what to do. NICK I wouldn't know, I never study for tests, so... SAM Yeah, I know, I've seen your grades. NICK But have you seen my double clutch reverse layup? SAM Hey... Thanks. NICK Let's see if you're still thanking me after I beat you one on one. ADDISON Oh my gosh, this place is so adorable. And what's that smell? CASSIE I'm diffusing wild orange and cinnamon essential oils. ADDISON Absolutely love it. Eddie, we should get some. EDWARD Yeah, if you love it, I can learn to love it too. ADDISON You're the best. CASSIE Are you looking for something special? ADDISON I've already found it. EDWARD She loves jewelry. CASSIE Is there an occasion? ADDISON Maybe there could be. Wow, Edward, look at this, this is beautiful. CASSIE It just came in from an estate sale. ADDISON What's it say? EDWARD "Mon coeur est pour toujours ˆ toi." CASSIE My heart is forever yours. ADDISON It's totally meant to be... what's that word? CASSIE Kismet. ADDISON No... it's like fate or something. EDWARD It's definitely something. You know what, we'll take it. ADDISON Thank you, Eddie. NICK Hey... you busy? GRACE Very. NICK You're surfing for shoes. GRACE And eating a scone. Multitasking is exhausting. NICK I'm sure. GRACE Seriously? There's a whole plate of 'em inside. NICK What's up, you seem kinda down. GRACE I feel bad for my mom. I mean, you know how she is about Halloween a wedding this time of year was gonna be perfect. NICK It can still be perfect... it's just postponed. Kind of like when you get rained out in baseball. GRACE You are such a guy. NICK And...? GRACE And why're you here? NICK Come with me it's more of a visual thing. But you have to keep your eyes closed. GRACE What? What is happening? NICK Keep 'em closed. GRACE They are. NICK You ready? GRACE I'm opening my eyes. Wha You decorated your house? NICK Cool, right? GRACE Really cool. You did all this? NICK It's no biggie. GRACE Who are you? You've never cared about Halloween before. NICK I know how much it means to your mom. I thought this would make her happy. Whenever she sees it. GRACE Look at you acting like part of the family. NICK I can do the family thing. SAM This is kinda ironic. CASSIE Never heard of an ironic pumpkin patch. SAM Us taking a walk. We've been so busy planning our lives together we haven't seen that much of each other lately. CASSIE Now that you mention it, I've kinda missed you. SAM I'm not surprised, I'm pretty great company. CASSIE Let me clarify I've missed you, not your sense of humor. SAM Ouch. I've missed you too. CASSIE That's strange. SAM Gotta be honest, not the reaction I was looking for. CASSIE Not you, the pumpkin. It's heart shaped. Oh. Martha's calling. SAM I didn't hear anything. CASSIE Hi, Martha... Whoa, slow down... We'll be right there. SAM What happened? CASSIE The Heart of Middleton was stolen. MARTHA Well, this is disastrous. The festival is in two days. The Heart of our beloved Middleton could not have disappeared at a worse time of year. SECURITY GUARD There was no sign of a break in. SAM Could've been an inside job. Meaning the thief had a key. Kind of narrows down the suspects. SECURITY GUARD Unfortunately, it doesn't. We have security cameras at the front and back entrances and no one used a key to get in or out. MARTHA Oh my, sounds like we have a real mystery on our hands. ABIGAIL "We?" I'm the mayor I'm the one who's gonna get blamed here. KAREN The Heart of Middleton was stolen on my watch. If anyone should be blamed... CASSIE The only person who should be blamed is the one who actually took it. MARTHA They should be ashamed of themselves. This will undoubtedly affect all of us. I shudder to think that Cupid's arrow will not be shooting straight this Halloween. ABIGAIL Please don't start spreading those rumors. MARTHA I'm sorry, are you calling me the town gossip? ABIGAIL No, because technically you don't live in town anymore. CASSIE Just because your house is in Blairsville, doesn't mean your home isn't in Middleton. MARTHA Thank you, Cassie I appreciate that. But I'm not so sure. GRACE Morning. NICK Hey. GRACE Now, I'm sure you've heard about the Halloween Harvest Festival competition between Middleton and Blairsville, right? NICK You mean, that thing that happens every four years for bragging rights? Yeah, that's pretty ridiculous. GRACE First of all, it's not ridiculous, it's tradition, and second of all, I signed you up for the scariest scarecrow competition. NICK You did what? Why can't you do that? GRACE Because I'm already signed up for face painting. And I have seen your decorating skills. SAM You should do it, pal. Show some town pride. NICK Yeah, that's not really my thing. SAM Sounds like a yes to me. GRACE Thanks, Nick. NICK Wait, what just happened? GRACE Good morning. Can I help you find something? KAREN I'm in the mood for a cafe noisette. GRACE Ooo, I have no idea what that is, but it sounds exotic. KAREN It's an espresso with a dash of hot milk. GRACE We don't have an espresso machine, but we can do the hot milk part. KAREN How 'bout some tea? GRACE That we've got. CASSIE Good morning. Fresh cut herbs in case anyone wants them with their eggs. NICK I do. CASSIE Nick, I saw your Halloween decorations. They are incredible. Thank you. SAM How do you know I didn't do it? CASSIE Doesn't take a psychic to figure that one out. ADDISON I went to a psychic once, she told me the love of my life was a dermatologist. She was way off. The next day I met Eddie. CASSIE We have to be careful about our expectations. NICK See if you stop expecting so much from me, then you wouldn't get disappointed. ADDISON Well, I'm expecting this to be the most romantic weekend of my life. GRACE Let's hope that it still can be with the Heart of Middleton gone. CASSIE Even without the ruby, we still have to believe that true love is out there. I'll get that. CASSIE Hello, Edward. Addison's in the kitchen. ADDISON Actually, I'm right here. EDWARD You ready? ADDISON I thought we'd take a romantic stroll. There's a wishing well in Middleton Park. I have a hunch you know my wish. EDWARD Actually, I made reservations for a haunted hayride. ADDISON Oh. You know I have hay fever, don't you? EDWARD Yeah, um... CASSIE The town square is decorated for Halloween, it's a really great walk this time of year... also a good compromise. EDWARD Works for me. ADDISON As long as we're together. CASSIE Sometimes that's all it takes. GRACE Wow. NICK I know. What do you think? GRACE I think that Blairsville is probably taking this a lot more seriously than you are. NICK You signed me up without asking. What did you expect? GRACE I expected it to be more like this. NICK I did that for your mom because I know how important Halloween is to her. GRACE Halloween is important to all of us. NICK Grace. Don't you think Middleton takes the whole Halloween thing just a little too far? GRACE Not when our town pride is on the line. Never mind. You don't have to do it. I just, I thought that maybe you would want to do more as a family. But I guess we're not really family yet, so... NICK Wait. Are you trying to guilt me into this? GRACE Yes. Is it working? NICK Unfortunately. GRACE Great. I mean... thank you. You've got this. SAM Hey. CASSIE Hey. SAM What have you got there? CASSIE This is one of the letters discovered with the Heart of Middleton 200 years ago. Patience Merriwick's true love, William Spry, wrote this for her. "My beloved Patience, as darkness falls on this cold and bitter sea, thoughts of you are like the warm sun. Time and distance cannot separate our hearts, but only strengthen our yearning for one another." SAM Wow, that William definitely had a way with words. ABIGAIL Okay, so, I'm very sad about your wedding... but as my favorite cousin Cassie likes to say, everything happens for a reason. And I need your help. SAM With what? ABIGAIL Boosting my approval rating by defeating Blairsville in the Halloween Harvest Festival. I can't be the first mayor to lose to them in twenty years. SAM Not really the end of the world if we don't win a pumpkin carving contest. ABIGAIL It's not just a pumpkin carving and, if we don't win, you're right it's not the end of the world, just the end of my bright and promising future as a politician. CASSIE It might help us take our minds off postponing the wedding. ABIGAIL I couldn't agree more. CASSIE I bet you carve a mean pumpkin. SAM Let's do this. ABIGAIL Great. MARTHA Oh my. What an absolutely delightful array. Oh dear, you look troubled. STEPHANIE Is it that obvious? I just I don't know how I'm supposed to re purpose all this wedding food for the Halloween gala. And then Abigail blows through here like a tornado practically destroying everything in her path not to mention her unreasonable demands. I just feel completely unappreciated. MARTHA Oh please. You're preaching to the choir. There's nothing like pouring your heart and soul into the people of Middleton and then having it trampled upon by the new regime. Aah, food glorious food. One of life's great comforts. It's probably why my pumpkin pie recipe is so coveted at this time of year. Be sure to make your presentation visual so it blends seamlessly with the decor. There I go again, trying to be helpful. I suppose it's just who I am. STEPHANIE Ya know, Martha... since you have planned some of the most fabulous and beloved events this town has ever known, maybe you'd help me out with all of this... MARTHA You know, that sentiment is much appreciated, but I've dilly dallied here for far too long, so if you'll excuse me, I think it's time I take my rightful place in this world. STEPHANIE Okay. GRACE That is so gross. SAM Well, if you can't handle pumpkin guts, you're gonna have a tough time being a surgeon. GRACE When did you know you wanted to be a doctor? SAM I always knew I wanted to help people. Somehow making them feel better made me feel better. But I didn't really know I wanted to be a doctor until after college. GRACE Really? SAM Really. GRACE I'm not sure what I want to do. SAM You don't have to have your whole life planned out. Wouldn't be much fun if you did. GRACE I just wanna be really great at something. Like you are. SAM You know how I got to be that way? By making mistakes. A lot of 'em. GRACE Well... maybe people would make fewer mistakes if they had the right teacher? SAM You know who the best teacher in the world is? Failure. So find something you love, and fail till you're great at it. GRACE Did you give Nick the same advice? SAM Yup. But Nick doesn't listen to anything I say. So, maybe you can be a good influence on him. GRACE Well, he is going to be my younger brother, so I can straighten him out. CASSIE There's team Blairsville. SAM This seems a little intense for a harvest festival rules meeting. CASSIE Wait until the actual harvest festival. ABIGAIL People, I need your game faces. GRACE Wait, we can't start, Martha's not here. MARTHA That's because I'm over here. GRACE You're supposed to be on this side. MARTHA Dear Grace, I realized that Abigail was right. I am a citizen of Blairsville now. And since their illustrious mayor just so happens to be out of town, the good people of this lovely community have appointed me their Grand Marshal. ABIGAIL You've got to be kidding me. MARTHA Oh contrare. Blairsville does not kid when it comes to competition. So, without any further delay, may the best town win. GRACE Wait, we didn't even go over the rules! CASSIE Hey, you. SAM Hey. CASSIE Hey. SAM You look familiar. Have we met? CASSIE Oh, I have to stop you, I have a fiancé. SAM That's so weird, I do to. I was hoping to have lunch with mine. CASSIE I'm sure she would love that. SAM She won't love that I have to go get my tux, buy some shoes, oh, and finish carving a pumpkin because she got me involved in this fall harvest festival town vs. town battle royale. CASSIE If it helps, she appreciates it. SAM And we thought we'd get to spend more time together now that the wedding was postponed. CASSIE We have the gala. SAM I'll be the one in the tux. STEPHANIE Hi. You must be the new museum curator. KAREN News travels fast around here. STEPHANIE Oh, you have no idea. It's a shame about the ruby. Hopefully our police will be able to track it down. KAREN Just in case, I've been rearranging the entire Halloween museum exhibit. Been at it non stop. STEPHANIE Well, in that case, how 'bout a coffee, on the house? KAREN You're a life saver. Rough day? ADDISON Not as romantic as I hoped. STEPHANIE It's not surprising. With the heart of Middleton missing, you're not the only one feeling it. KAREN You really think the ruby has that much power? ADDISON My Eddie Bear definitely has been a little distant. I can't explain it, but the more time we spend together the less we seem to get along. STEPHANIE I think losing the Ruby Heart has caused Middleton to lose its heart. GEORGE Hey, Sam. SAM Hi. Didn't expect to see you here. GEORGE Abigail is full of surprises. You should be used to that by now. SAM That'd take away all the fun. GEORGE How's it going, doc? SAM I'm hanging in there. GEORGE You sure you don't want a second opinion? SAM How 'bout some help picking out flowers? GEORGE Sure thing. What's the occasion? SAM Something to brighten a beautiful lady's day. GEORGE Well, Cassie's never met a flower she didn't love, so how 'bout a nice bouquet? SAM Sounds like you know what you're talking about. GEORGE Not really. Let me see what I can do. SAM Hey, Edward. Good to see you. EDWARD Hey. Doc. You too. Listen, uh, I'm sorry to hear about your wedding being postponed. SAM Yeah, me too. EDWARD Listen, do you mind if I ask your opinion on something? I promise it's not medical related. SAM Well, then I'm probably useless to you. But sure, shoot. EDWARD How did you know that Cassie was, you know, the one? SAM After I met her, I just couldn't imagine living my life without her. GEORGE Here ya go. Yeah, they're not really gonna brighten up anyone's day, are they? ABIGAIL Order, order! As mayor, I would like to commence this emergency town hall meeting by asking you all to remain calm. GEORGE How? Martha's defected. ABIGAIL We don't need Martha. CASSIE We may need her more than she thinks. ABIGAIL All we need to do is win three out of five festival events. And we still have our ace in the hole... GEORGE Martha's pumpkin pie recipe. ABIGAIL Which, I'll have you all know, is sitting comfortably in the Mayor's rolodex. This rolodex. Grace, would you do the honors? It's probably under the letter "P"? GRACE That's where I'm looking... there's nothing here but a note, on Martha's letterhead. ABIGAIL Well, don't keep us in suspense. What does it say? GRACE "Let the games begin." MARTHA Believe it or not, there are moments where I almost feel sorry for Middleton. TREVOR Why's that, Mrs. Tinsdale? MARTHA In the last 24 hours they've lost me and my pumpkin pie recipe. TREVOR Well, perhaps I should put the recipe in the archives, make sure it doesn't get MARTHA All in good time. My first order of business is to make sure that my fellow Blairsvillains are training properly for the remaining events. TREVOR We prefer "Blairsvillers." It's a little friendlier. And may I say, with the mayor being out of town, recruiting you for team Blairsville was a huge win. We've never had a Halloween captain... I apologize, a Grand Marshal. MARTHA This scarecrow doesn't look scary he looks scared. Come on, people, up the scare factor! Oh, ah. At last. Pumpkin tossing. Blairsville's strongest suit. I'm sorry. I don't understand. I was told that we were a shoo in! Don't we have someone just a tad more... impressive? TREVOR Mrs. Tinsdale, meet Denny. MARTHA Oh, my. Charmed I'm sure. STEPHANIE I'm comin' for you next. Looks like someone had a rough day. What happened? NICK The biggest crow you've ever seen. Tossed him around like a rag doll. STEPHANIE Fall cleaning? GRACE Just bringing some books over to the kids at the hospital for the kids. Uh, Nick... NICK I know. This scarecrow isn't gonna scare anyone. The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. STEPHANIE The Headless Horseman. Totally creepy. NICK The headless scarecrow. GRACE Nick, you okay? NICK Yeah... I'm great. GRACE How's it going with the food? STEPHANIE I have a serious case of baker's block. NICK Baker's block. That's funny. STEPHANIE It's not when you have to turn the purity of a wedding cake into some sort of freaky frosting. I don't suppose he has any ideas? NICK He says you could do black crows and candy corns. Or you could even make the cake one big cauldron with a tasty witch's brew. STEPHANIE You should tell him he's pretty smart. GRACE Well, I'd better get these books to the hospital. I just wanted to check in on you. NICK How'd you even know I was here? CASSIE I'll help you with those, Karen. KAREN Oh, Cassie, I didn't want to disturb you. CASSIE Are you leaving already? Before the gala? KAREN I'm not sure I belong here. CASSIE Where do you think you belong? KAREN I'm still trying to figure that out. CASSIE The people of Middleton put their trust in you. If you leave, who's gonna finish the Halloween exhibits? KAREN I'm really sorry. CASSIE Me too. I hope you find what you're looking for. Is everything okay? KAREN My car won't start. CASSIE I guess Middleton wasn't ready to let you go. Welcome back to Grey House. ABIGAIL Teamwork, loving it. We are going to slay Blairsville I can feel it. WORKER Thanks. ABIGAIL Now, not to be a perfectionist, but that clavicle is listing to the left. The clavicle? It's the bone that You know what, let me up there, I'm just gonna D I Y this... MARTHA Madam Mayor, imagine, running into you here. ABIGAIL Martha. MARTHA Isn't it a glorious Halloween? Oh by the way, did you have a chance to meet my pumpkin tosser, Denny? Very impressive young man. ABIGAIL Martha, if you've come over here to gloat, you're a little early, don't you think? MARTHA Indeed. I know the competition hasn't even begun yet, but for some reason I feel I should start preparing my victory speech. Oh, dear. Looks like everything is just... falling apart. I'll leave you to it. I'd say "break a leg," but... Aw. GRACE Hey, Sam. SAM Hey, guys you two out causing trouble? NICK I'm getting some stuff to up my game on the scarecrow. GRACE I'm along for moral support... then maybe he'll help me with my event. SAM Just keep workin' your magic on him, Grace. WOMAN Oh, that's perfect. I thought you put money in the meter. I don't wanna hear it. NICK Wow, that's like the third couple I've seen fighting today. GRACE Makes sense the Heart of Middleton is missing love is out of whack. NICK You seriously think a ruby being gone can affect relationships? GRACE It's pretty obvious. NICK Or just a coincidence. GRACE Tell that to them. SAM It's Edward and his girlfriend Addison. NICK They do not look happy. GRACE I rest my case. ABIGAIL Hi. How's it going? STEPHANIE I'm just dropping off some cookies and other supplies to the Bistro's festival booth. Now, I have finished the desserts for the gala, I just still need to do the appetizers, the main course, the sides... don't worry, it's gonna be perfect. ABIGAIL Have I told you that you're doing a great job? STEPHANIE I doubt you've ever told anyone that. ABIGAIL You seem stressed. Here let me help you. STEPHANIE Okay you're freaking me out. What do you need? ABIGAIL Me, I don't need anything Middleton, on the other hand, needs your help. STEPHANIE Cut the drama. What's up? ABIGAIL I want you to enter the pumpkin pie contest in Martha's absence. STEPHANIE Is that what this is about? Just give me Martha's recipe, I'll have your pie done before you can say "boo." ABIGAIL Yeah... um... about that... STEPHANIE Martha took the recipe, didn't she? ABIGAIL I think you could come up with one that will knock Ronnie Sue Campbell's socks off. STEPHANIE Ronnie Sue Campbell? The celebrity chef? ABIGAIL Oh, did I not mention she's judging the pie contest? STEPHANIE No, you didn't. And, yes, I'll do it... just as soon as I finish all this other food. ABIGAIL Perfect. STEPHANIE You're welcome! Unbelievable. CASSIE "My love, another battle is on the horizon. My will to live is only for you. No pain compares to being separated from the one I love. Holding you again is all I think about." SAM Keep reading. CASSIE If I didn't know any better, I would say you were a hopeless romantic. SAM Nah. I'm just a sucker for a happy ending. KAREN Come in. CASSIE Hi. You seem like you have a lot on your mind so I brought you some tea. KAREN Oh. Thank you. That's very kind. CASSIE We like our guests to feel at home at Grey House. Enjoy. KAREN I didn't mean to eavesdrop. It's heartbreaking to be separated, to lose your chance at true love. CASSIE You sound like you speak from experience. What happened? KAREN I met him in a small cafe on the Champs Elysses. We talked all night until they kicked us out. It was raining, but we didn't care. We walked for hours. Holding hands. We shared one perfect kiss on the Pont Neuf bridge at sunrise. He We a napkin from the cafe that he wrote his number on. I thought the rain was so romantic, but by the time I got home, it had turned to lint. I understand Patience's longing to be reunited with her one true love. CASSIE Waiting can be painful. But also worth it. KAREN You think William returned to Patience? CASSIE I believe the ruby led his heart back to hers. KAREN Patience was lucky to have it. CASSIE She had it because it was given to her honorably. She didn't try to force the magic. Let me know if you need anything else. ANNOUNCER ...Things are really heating up now.

JUDGE Well, this one was very close. The detail is quite impressive. And the winner for creative face painting is... Blairsville! GRACE I'm really sorry, guys. SAM About what? There's nothing wrong with second place. GRACE There were only two of us. But hey, someone once told me fail till you're great at it. SAM Sounds like good advice. GRACE The best. SAM C'mon, cotton candy's on me. NICK I need to wash Frankenstein off first, so I'll meet you over there. ABIGAIL Does anybody else realize we're one pumpkin away from total humiliation? STEPHANIE Okay, I'm gonna take this in. Can you finish loading that cart? CASSIE I'm on it. STEPHANIE Okay. CASSIE Okay. Edward. EDWARD Hey. CASSIE Hey. STEPHANIE This town is really missing that ruby, huh? I hear the police still don't have any leads. You know, even without the Heart of Middleton, I think the exhibit looks amazing. KAREN Thank you. EDWARD You know, When I first met Addison everything just clicked. She loved my art, I loved her energy. But now, I don't know, everything's different. Do you want a hand? CASSIE Sure. New love is often blind love, right? EDWARD Yeah. She's so sweet, I really do care about her. CASSIE Yeah. But you're not sure she's the one. EDWARD I'm just not sure about a whole lot right now. CASSIE I have a feeling you'll figure it out. But right now would you grab that tray of appetizers way in the back there. EDWARD Yeah, sure. CASSIE Thanks. Great, thank you. Just put it right there. Would you help me wheel this in there? EDWARD Yeah. Least I can do.
