ABIGAIL ADAM AUTUMN CASSIE COLLEGE_AGED_AUTUMN COLLEGE_AGED_CASSIE COLLEGE_AGED_CHLOE DONOVAN GEORGE JACQUELINE MARTHA NICK SAM SAMANTHA STEPHANIE TEEN_GIRL TOM CASSIE Previously on "Good Witch". MARTHA Middleton will have the Halloween bonfire to end all Halloween bonfires. SAM It's a four-leaf clover. What's even more interesting is I have no idea who sent it. GEORGE Loch Ness has it's Nessie, Middleton has it's Bessie. NICK You think there's any way she's actually out there? SAM This is Middleton. STEPHANIE Blairsville has the state record for the most carved jack o' lanterns. ADAM We're gonna break it. CASSIE Autumn Delaney. So good to see you. SAM Is it just me or does she seem like a bit of a mystery? CASSIE No, we definitely don't have the full story. DONOVAN Hey. ABIGAIL Well, this is a surprise. DONOVAN I'm nothing if not unpredictable. ABIGAIL Unpredictable would be not showing up to check on my pumpkin progress. Coffee? DONOVAN Sorry, I can't, I'm in training. I jogged over here. ABIGAIL Three miles? DONOVAN And three miles back. Yeah, I figured I'd take it easy today. I also figured you'd have a lot more pumpkins carved. ABIGAIL I'd hate to disappoint you. MARTHA Abigail, I will take a cafe au lait hold the milk. Oh. Well, fancy meeting you here. DONOVAN I could say the same. Are you trying out a new look for Halloween? MARTHA Oh, no. Actually, I'm trying to create a radiant glow. ABIGAIL Martha's bunking here for a couple of days. MARTHA May I give you two a little advice? DONOVAN Could we stop you? MARTHA Never take each other for granted and absolutely never forget the important moments in your relationship. DONOVAN I take it Tom's in the doghouse? MARTHA Well, I'd love to stand here and chit chat, but I'm headed out to assess the damage after last night's storm. DONOVAN Oh, are you forgetting anything? MARTHA Uh no, oh... DONOVAN I hope Middleton's jack o' lanterns survived the downpour. ABIGAIL Word is, every single one. DONOVAN I'd hate to keep you from carving more. ABIGAIL I think that's exactly what you're trying to do. DONOVAN You don't know me. Oh, I almost forgot. I brought you something. ABIGAIL It's empty. DONOVAN It is? Oh. I better apologize. ABIGAIL Well played. DONOVAN Never underestimate me. STEPHANIE I know that not everyone in Middleton could carve a pumpkin, but by my count, we're still 523 jack o' lanterns ahead of schedule. ADAM No. Forget the state record, we should go for the world record. MARTHA Oh. Yoo-hoo, that's askew. Which could be the catch phrase for this whole Halloween. CASSIE I wouldn't say that. MARTHA The dried up roses, the rained-on wood... my Tom. Thank goodness we have Autumn. Her inspired design for the bonfire will remedy all of our Halloween ailments. AUTUMN I hate to burst my own bubble, but I just got off the phone with the costume supplier and it looks like our 1890's attire has been rerouted to Saskatchewan. MARTHA And just like that we're all back to askew. CASSIE Not necessarily. After a little rain, you can get a rainbow. GEORGE Then we should have a pot of gold after that downpour. AUTUMN How bad is it? SAM This wood's way too damp to light up. MARTHA Then we'll bring in some more. SAM All the wood in the area is gonna be in the same condition. GEORGE And the hardware store won't have enough. CASSIE We still have until tomorrow night. AUTUMN And we also have apple cider donuts. ADAM Those are wicked. STEPHANIE He's had a lot of caffeine. But I'm happy to report that we're on track to shatter Blairsville's pumpkin carving record. MARTHA Thank goodness something is going right. STEPHANIE Just to be safe, maybe you should hand out those donuts. Yeah? ADAM Good call, these should keep everyone's energy up. CASSIE Paul Bunyan's got nothing on you. SAM He does have that giant blue ox as his best friend. My best friend makes a much better glass of lemonade. CASSIE I'm kinda partial to you too. SAM Then why'd you let the town rope me into this triathlon. CASSIE Please... you love it. SAM I do kinda thrive under the pressure. CASSIE You found some wood. Impressive. SAM It will be if these logs dry out faster than the ones already at the bonfire. CASSIE You left this on the counter. You might need it for luck. SAM It hasn't brought us much so far. CASSIE Maybe it's because you doubt it. SAM Or maybe it's because it's not mine. And we couldn't find the Thurlow's. CASSIE Then we should bring it to the other Sam Radford. SAM We should, but first I've gotta run to the hospital to check on a post op patient. Sam Radford's waited 45 years, he can wait one more day. NICK Hey, George... going fishing? GEORGE Nothing gets by you, kid. NICK What I meant was, are you going fishing or are you going fishing? GEORGE This time of year, it's a little of both. I just enjoy tossing my line in the water and spendin' some quality time with nature. If Bessie pops up, we'll take a selfie. Either way, being out on the lake reminds me of all the great times I had growin' up in Middleton. This whole thing's turned into a real nice tradition. NICK I get it. And I hope you get that selfie. GEORGE Thanks. SAMANTHA Can I get you something Dr. Radford? SAM Hey, Samantha... I wouldn't say no to one of your double fudge brownies. SAMANTHA Dr. Rayburn just had the last one, but the banana pudding's flying off the cart. SAM I'm more of a tapioca guy, thanks. ADAM I'm wearing my badge. SAMANTHA As long as we understand each other. ADAM Don't you usually leave that part to the lab techs? SAM This patient required a personal touch. ADAM The four-leaf clover? SAM Check out the little black marks on the side? ADAM Looks like dirt. SAM That's what I thought too, but it's actually writing. Under the magnifier you can see two words "ti amo." ADAM I love you. SAM I love you too, but let's focus on the clover. ADAM "Ti amo" means I love you in Italian. SAM This means I'm late for the triathlon. ADAM Let's go... you're gonna need some time to warm up. The goal is for you to ring a bell, not get your bell rung. Yeah? AUTUMN Small town pride sure isn't lost around here. CASSIE And your vision will shine a spotlight on it for Small Town Digest Magazine. AUTUMN I hope I do justice to the tradition of your great great grandmothers. CASSIE It's been a lost tradition. Finding it again has seemed to spark something in all of us. ABIGAIL Great news, the replacement roses have arrived. AUTUMN Wow, that was fast. ABIGAIL You seem disappointed. AUTUMN No... just surprised. It's great they're here in time. CASSIE Now if the 1890's attire would just make it's way back from Saskatchewan the bonfire will go off without a hitch. AUTUMN Which reminds me, I should get back to work. ABIGAIL Is it just me, or is something going on with her? CASSIE It's not just you. STEPHANIE Sam all ready for this? CASSIE He's been training hard. ABIGAIL He better be, I need him to shatter this event. MARTHA Attention. Attention. We're moments away from the start of the Middleton/Blairsville Halloween Triathlon. ABIGAIL I'm gonna go wish Donovan good luck. MARTHA Contestants report to the Halloween hammer event. ABIGAIL Is that sweat I see on your brow? DONOVAN It's determination. But I do think that's sweat on your brow. ABIGAIL Look closer, it's confidence. MARTHA Alright, it is time to swing to ring. Each contestant will get three tries to ring our witchy bell. The most dings wins. Contestants, approach the hammer. SAM May the best man win. DONOVAN I will. SAM Nice try. DONOVAN Don't choke. MARTHA Bravo! We have a winner. Sam Radford and Middleton. Good job. You too. CASSIE Impressive. SAM I got lucky. CASSIE You wouldn't happen to have that four-leaf clover on you would you? SAM You think that four-leaf clover had something to do with this? CASSIE I just asked if you had it on you. DONOVAN Don't gloat. It's not a good look. ABIGAIL Neither is coming in second. DONOVAN There's still two more events. ABIGAIL Lucky you. AUTUMN I see you're still mixing up those lotions and potions. CASSIE How 'bout you? Cooked up any of your grandmother's recipes lately? AUTUMN I dabble every now and then. CASSIE I would love to get a look at your family's grimoire... especially now that I'm more practiced in holistic therapy. AUTUMN That's right. It's why they celebrated you at Wellingsly. CASSIE You saw the alumni magazine? AUTUMN "Cassie Nightingale's naturalistic approach inspires first holistic medicine class." CASSIE Quite an honor. AUTUMN I'm sure you changed a lot of lives. NICK I gotta give it to you, that was a pretty impressive win. SAM But...? NICK But what? SAM Where's my sarcastic son? NICK Oh you mean, like how I'm surprised you pulled it off in your golden years? SAM There's my boy. GEORGE I'll let you two bond. NICK What you got there? GEORGE Nothin', kid. SAM You're goin' to a lot of trouble to hide nothin'. NICK You got pictures of Bessie, didn't you? C'mon. Let me see. GEORGE There's nothing to see. SAM There's obviously something to see. That's interesting. NICK You think it's her? SAM Doesn't look like much more than a tree branch to me. NICK C'mon, that's no tree branch. SAM It's no monster either. GEORGE Can't say your dad's wrong. SAM You were really hoping there was something out there, huh? NICK I don't need to see any proof. I've always believed George. AUTUMN The jack o' lanterns should be set up in balanced proportion to the bonfire, creating lines of symmetry. STEPHANIE Sounds great. ADAM Alright Middleton, our pumpkin count is at four thousand seven hundred twenty two pumpkins... Make that four thousand seven hundred twenty five pumpkins. Great teamwork everyone. STEPHANIE Unfortunately, it appears that our team effort is dwindling. ADAM It's like their energy's been zapped. STEPHANIE They have been carving pumpkins non- stop for 72 hours. ADAM Yeah, but they should be hyped up on sugar from all those apple cider donuts. CASSIE Maybe some iced tea will be a refreshing boost. ADAM I hope so. Cuz they need it. CASSIE This should help change the pace. MARTHA Autumn, I've been looking everywhere for you. AUTUMN What's wrong? MARTHA The birds have eaten the corn decorations. I repeat, the corn decorations have been eaten. It feels like every time we take one step forward we fall two steps back. CASSIE Middleton faced this same problem in 1891. MARTHA Warding off corn eating birds? CASSIE Warding off a disharmony that had befallen the town. MARTHA So, history is repeating itself. CASSIE Elizabeth realized a bonfire would bring everyone together and the sweeping gesture of tossing the petals of a rose, the symbol of love and positivity, into the fire, would return happiness and harmony to the town. MARTHA Well... I'm not exactly feeling happiness or harmony at the moment. Autumn, come with me, we're on official damage control. ABIGAIL It's a pumpkin, not a yacht. DONOVAN Failing to prepare is preparing to fail. A successful woman like you knows that. ABIGAIL Did you check the tides, too? DONOVAN Flowing inland, so the current will be slow. Gonna take some man power to keep this thing moving. ABIGAIL That's a pretty confident smile. DONOVAN I'm a pretty confident man. TOM Martha, there you are. I've been looking everywhere for you. MARTHA Well... I guess the saying is true... TOM What saying? MARTHA Absence really does make the heart grow fonder. TOM And absence of food is the definition of grief. Would you mind telling me where you keep the crock pot? You used it last time to make the chicken goulash. MARTHA Honestly. Alright! Come on boys, let's get that pumpkin in the water. GEORGE Okay, let's do this. NICK One, two, three... GEORGE Careful. Well that's not good. SAM How's it going, crew? GEORGE Looks like your pumpkin may need a trip to the ER, skipper. CASSIE You okay? AUTUMN I'm exhausted. I've been working with Martha all afternoon trying to get things ready for tomorrow night. CASSIE I can blend you some cinnamon and peppermint oils to give you a natural energy boost to get you through Halloween. AUTUMN I'm sure it would. CASSIE Do you remember in college I mixed some blue chamomile flower and geranium oils to help you sleep? AUTUMN How could I forget? Your little potion ruined everything for me. I overslept and lost my chance for that fellowship at Kellington Gardens. CASSIE You think my aromatherapy made you miss your interview? AUTUMN My entire life changed because I fell under the spell of your oils. CASSIE Belief is the most powerful spell there is. AUTUMN What is that supposed to mean? CASSIE What you give power has power. My oils may have helped you sleep, but the only thing that stopped you from going on that interview... was you. AUTUMN Good luck with the bonfire. AUTUMN A cookbook? CASSIE Welcome to Grey House, Mrs. Casey. JACQUELINE Call me Jackie... and it is truly an honor to be here. Your B&B has quite the reputation. CASSIE I could say the same about your magazine. I bet you'd love some fresh apple cider? JACQUELINE You read my mind. I'm eager to see your Halloween celebration. It's been on our radar for years. Glad it finally worked out. Martha tells me your designer has quite the imagination. CASSIE She does, unfortunately she's at a bit of a creative impasse. JACQUELINE Oh. What does this mean for the festivities? CASSIE I promise you won't leave Middleton disappointed. GEORGE How's she look, Doc? SAM Not particularly pretty. GEORGE No one ever said pumpkin racing was a beauty contest. NICK That was a big crack. What did you use? SAM Surgical glue. And threw in a few sutures for insurance. NICK Don't you usually get a resident to close for you after surgery? SAM Do I question your video game skills? NICK All the time. GEORGE You really think she's seaworthy? SAM There's only one way to find out. GEORGE Yup. DONOVAN I heard you had "an equipment malfunction." SAM My pit crew addressed it. MARTHA Thank you all for coming out to show your Middleton and of course Blairsville pride. But sadly, pumpkin-boats are not built to last. So without further ado, may the best pumpkin win. On your marks, get set, go! DONOVAN Alright. Tie ballgame. You know what, I'll pick you up a little early so we can get some popcorn on the way to that Blob double feature. CASSIE This tea should warm you up. SAM Thank you. CASSIE I'm getting the feeling that maybe you should stick to dry land this Halloween. SAM You couldn't have had that feeling two days ago? CASSIE At least you proved your point about the four-leaf clover. SAM Actually, I left it home to prove to you I didn't need it to win. CASSIE How you feeling about that decision? SAM I may decide to bring it to the obstacle course. GEORGE Hey, Doc, I feel lousy about dropping your pumpkin, I owe you an apology. NICK We owe you an apology. Look what I caught on-camera at the regatta. GEORGE That's definitely somethin'... NICK It's Bessie! GEORGE That's getting framed, kid. NICK I'll print one up for you. SAM Crop out my sinking pumpkin boat. CASSIE Tomorrow is another day. GEORGE How's your obstacle course time? SAM I'd better go scale some hay bales before it gets dark. Thanks for the tea. And sympathy. CASSIE So Bessie finally made an appearance, huh? GEORGE Thanks to a little photo magic by the kid. Knowing that means more to me than Bessie ever would. COLLEGE AGED CASSIE Why do you think you can't sleep? COLLEGE AGED AUTUMN I don't know. I guess I'm more stressed about this interview than I thought. Training under Didier Chatelaine at Kellington Gardens happens once in a lifetime. COLLEGE AGED CASSIE Pressure forms diamonds, this is your chance to shine. COLLEGE AGED AUTUMN Or lose everything. My entire future will be determined tomorrow. COLLEGE AGED CASSIE I think you just need a good night's sleep. Take this. Breathe it in, then rub it into your temples. COLLEGE AGED CHLOE Gotta do more than these rose petals and candles. COLLEGE AGED CASSIE Wait, I got a feeling you're gonna want to remember this moment. MARTHA I hope you don't mind, I helped myself. CASSIE I'd mind if you didn't. MARTHA It's T-minus eight hours 'til the Halloween celebration and our 1890's attire is still missing, the birds are still eating the corn decorations and the bonfire wood is still wet. It is a pefect trifecta of turmoil. CASSIE Don't forget Autumn quit. MARTHA How could I possibly forget. CASSIE I can't forget the talks Autumn and I used to have in college. We'd stay up all night in our dorm room and eat popcorn and talk about how we were gonna save the world. MARTHA Saving the world was always the easy part... dealing with our own problems, that was a much harder conversation. CASSIE I wish I would've realized that back then. MARTHA Well with experience comes wisdom. And I'm wise enough to realize that we're in big time trouble with Small Town Digest. CASSIE I wouldn't be so sure. AUTUMN We can't have any delays. That would be perfect. Thank you. I had the 1890s clothing overnighted from Saskatchewan and I just confirmed it'll be here by four. And I worked out a redesign that'll keep the birds away from the corn and now I'll head over to make sure the bonfire wood has fully dried out. MARTHA So, I take it you've rescinded your resignation? AUTUMN With experience comes wisdom. MARTHA I just literally said that. Nothing can stop us now. AUTUMN Only ourselves. CASSIE Then there's nothing to worry about. MARTHA No. No, no. No more contemplation. Let's move. MARTHA It's time for our third and deciding race. On your mark. Get set. Go! SAM The finish line is that way. DONOVAN Yeah, but my ankle went that way. SAM It's already swelling. Come on. DONOVAN What are you doing? SAM Not a good idea to put pressure on it. DONOVAN Also not a good idea to help your competition. SAM You're not much competition right now. MARTHA It appears we have a tie. DONOVAN And a gentleman. Thanks. SAM You would've done the same for me. ABIGAIL I wouldn't be so sure about that. Let's go get some ice on that ankle. CASSIE I just have one question. SAM Is this the answer? GEORGE You're lookin' pretty slick there, kid. NICK Thanks. You too. GEORGE You know what else is pretty slick... those pictures you took of Bessie. NICK You knew? For what it's worth, I believe Bessie's out there. GEORGE Means a lot to me. SAM Cassie, you know I love when you make an entrance, but you said you'd be down in five minutes and that was ten minutes ago. No. No. I got it. Wow. That's an entrance. CASSIE I took the back steps. Sorry to keep you waiting. SAM You can keep me waiting anytime. MARTHA Oh, how exciting, the final numbers are coming in. May I have the envelope please? Oh just roll with it. ADAM How 'bout we read you our counts. MARTHA Splendid. ABIGAIL I have 2,447. ADAM And I have 3,485. STEPHANIE Hold on. AUTUMN You didn't count this one. MARTHA My goodness. STEPHANIE What better way to immortalize everything you've done for Middleton then to put your face on a pumpkin. CASSIE That's flattering. MARTHA And sadly fleeting. GEORGE I'm no mathematician, but I believe that makes 5,933. MARTHA Which means that Blairsville's pumpkin carving record still stands. STEPHANIE I don't understand, I mean we had a plan. CASSIE Maybe not everyone carved their two pumpkins. NICK Why're we giving up. We only need 51 more pumpkins to break the record. ABIGAIL Trust me, there's not a patch with a pumpkin left to pick. SAM Say that three times fast. ABIGAIL At least you don't have to sit through a Blob double feature. This is gonna be a fun conversation. NICK You could send him a text. CASSIE Now seems like the perfect time to light the bonfire. GEORGE I'm still not so sure that wood's gonna burn. MARTHA Come on everyone, follow me! Attention, beloved Middletonians. There's no need to fret, because when life throws you pumpkins, you make pumpkin pie. It's time to light up the sky with the glorious glow of our Halloween bonfire. George, the stage is yours. George, I'm sorry, perhaps you misunderstood. Light her up. GEORGE Now that's a fire. JACQUELINE You were right, I'm not leaving Middleton disappointed. CASSIE We're glad to hear that. JACQUELINE You've created quite the spectacle. AUTUMN I've had a lot of encouragement. MARTHA Now, I assume that we'll have a full feature in next month's issue? JACQUELINE I can do you one better. You'll have the entire cover. MARTHA What a prestigious, and well deserved, honor. JACQUELINE I have a car waiting to take me to the airport, but I'd love to get a few more pictures. MARTHA Our bonfire is your bonfire. I'll walk with you. CASSIE I'm glad everything worked out. AUTUMN Me too. CASSIE I'm sorry things happened the way they did in college. I really was just trying to help. AUTUMN You have nothing to apologize for. You were right... what we give power has power. It's amazing what we're capable of when we stop getting in our own way. DONOVAN Hey, what are you doing? ABIGAIL I'm standing in your office. Where are you? DONOVAN I guess great minds do think alike. ABIGAIL You're at the bonfire, aren't you? DONOVAN Since you lost the bet, I figured you could use some consoling. ABIGAIL Don't gloat, it's not a good look. DONOVAN I would never. Head on back. I'll wait for you here. TEEN GIRL Goodbye, Ms. Thurlow. SAMANTHA Goodbye dear. SAM Ms. Thurlow...? SAMANTHA You seem surprised. SAM I'm just used to calling you Samantha. Did you ever live at 211 Circle Cliffs Drive? SAMANTHA I grew up there. SAM I bet they used to call you Sam. SAMANTHA Only one person ever called me that. My fiancé, Steven. SAM Steven Radford? SAMANTHA Seeing you always reminds me I would've been Sam Radford. Steven got in a car accident two days before our wedding. SAM I'm sorry. SAMANTHA It was a long time ago. SAM This belongs to you. It was addressed to Sam Radford... it's been lost in the mail. SAMANTHA We found this four-leaf clover on our first date. SAM Steven must've wanted to surprise you. It's got a tiny inscription, "ti amo." SAMANTHA We were gonna go to Italy on our honeymoon. Thank you. ADAM Well, we may not have broken a record, but at least we failed together. STEPHANIE Yeah. If we can get through this, we can get through anything. MARTHA Yoo-hoo. Everyone, may I have your attention. Tonight we revive a wonderful tradition. Commencing many moons ago, on an all Hallow's Eve much like this one, Elizabeth Merriwick led the very first tossing of the rose petals. It is my very great honor to say, Middleton, raise your petals. On three, we will toss as one. One... two... TOM Hold your horses, Martha... MARTHA Tom Tinsdale, what on earth are you doing? This is a momentous occasion. TOM It certainly is. Many Halloweens ago, you made me the happiest man in the world by agreeing to be my wife. Thirty years later, I'm more sure than ever that I asked the right question. MARTHA Oh, Tom. TOM So I'm gonna ask it again. MARTHA Right here? In front of all these people? My constituents? I thought you'd forgotten. TOM I had to throw you off my tracks somehow. You are an Olympic-level tab-keeper. MARTHA That I am. TOM Martha, will you marry me? Again? MARTHA I should never have doubted you. Yes, yes, a trillion times yes. CASSIE Congratulations, you two. TOM Thank you, Cassie. MARTHA You knew all along didn't you? CASSIE Let's try this again, shall we? Everyone raise your petals. One... Two... Three... ABIGAIL Hey, where are you? DONOVAN Standing in my office. ABIGAIL You're kidding, right? DONOVAN Yup. ABIGAIL If that's how you gloat, you can gloat anytime. DONOVAN Impressive display. ABIGAIL Not impressive enough. DONOVAN Maybe I can help with that. ABIGAIL You brought us pumpkins? DONOVAN 51 to be exact. Congratulations, Middleton just broke our record. ABIGAIL You know what this means, right? DONOVAN You won the bet. ABIGAIL I won a lot more than that. CASSIE That's nice. SAM Just nice? CASSIE Very nice. SAM You know what's nicer? CASSIE Tell me. SAM Taking a moonlit drive, top down, wind in our hair. CASSIE Keep talkin'. SAM Why keep talking... when your chariot awaits. CASSIE A girl could get used to this. SAM Could she get used to that? CASSIE This is beautiful. I just love that you did all this. SAM I really wanted the night to be perfect. I thought about finding you a four leaf clover... but the odds are 1 in 10,000.. but then I found something better... CASSIE A lotus flower. SAM A symbol of perfection. CASSIE Like the man I married. SAM I've been trying so hard to make our first Halloween as husband and wife perfect... then I realized it doesn't matter that our boat sprung a leak, or our dinner got flooded, or our kitchen was filled with smoke... love isn't about being perfect... it's about being perfect together. CASSIE That four-leaf clover may be 1 in 10,000, but you, Sam Radford, are one in forever.
