ABIGAIL ADAM ALL CARTER CASSIE DEBBIE DONOVAN JOY MARTHA MR_MILLER NICK SAM STEPHANIE TOM WAITER WES CASSIE Previously on "Good Witch". STEPHANIE Oh, this is my ex-husband, Wes. Wes, this is my boyfriend Adam. How would you feel if I met Wes at the cabin to clear things out? ADAM You have my blessing. JOY I wanna buy that clock. CARTER It's not for sale. Who's got next? JOY I do. I win I get that clock. CARTER And if you lose? JOY You get my truck. CARTER Thanks for the life lesson. SAM You realize that Grace and Nick are going off to college. CASSIE Grace and Nick - they're about to head down an amazing road. SAM Kinda weird having an empty nest. CASSIE So what do we do now? ABIGAIL So you're sure I'm off the hook? CASSIE Yup. Martha's on the appetizers, Stephanie's doing the entree, and I've got desserts. ABIGAIL Did I mention what a great idea I think this progressive dinner is? CASSIE Yeah, I think it's a great way for everyone to get to know Joy. JOY Oh. I appreciate that. And I may have an even greater idea. ABIGAIL This should be interesting. JOY It's actually Elizabeth Merriwick's idea. CASSIE I love making dream candles. JOY We should do it. CASSIE We should. ABIGAIL You two wanna let me in on what we're talking about? JOY It's an old Merriwick tradition. "The candlemaker etches their dream into the wick tab then lets the wax set." ABIGAIL " Once the candle burns down, their dream is supposed to come true." I'm in. MARTHA You're cancelling your cruise? DEBBIE I don't see any other way. MARTHA How does David feel about that? DEBBIE He doesn't care a fig. If he did, he wouldn't have pushed my buttons the way he did. MARTHA Which buttons, precisely? DEBBIE The ones that light up and twinkle. MARTHA He still hasn't put up the twinkle lights in the garden? DEBBIE And every day it's a new excuse, golf, the weather, the wrong kind of ladder. Finally, I gave him an ultimatum: no lights, no cruise. MARTHA Well, far be it from me to dish out advice to an advice columnist... DEBBIE Dish away. I dole out so much advice that I don't have any left for myself. MARTHA You could outsource the job. DEBBIE To who? "Middleton's best handyman"? MARTHA Actually, Middleton's only handyman, but who's splitting hairs? DEBBIE Won't that be saying that David is right? MARTHA Do you want to be right, or do want to twinkle like a star? SAM Nick's just going over his questions. He'll be ready in a few minutes. CASSIE I've never been the subject of a sociology paper before. Should I be nervous? SAM Very. But at least you'll have Abigail and Joy sitting beside you. CASSIE Yeah. Three Merriwick women together, you never know what we might say. SAM Maybe Nick's the one who should be nervous. I know he's got a few days off, but he didn't need to fly home. He could've done this interview on the phone. CASSIE He could've. SAM Is there something you're not telling me? CASSIE About Nick... no. But there is something you should know... SAM I'm listening... CASSIE I am signing up for a drawing class at Middleton Art Studio. SAM Really? CASSIE Yeah, with Grace and Nick out of the house I have some extra time on my hands. SAM Well look at you, putting your art history degree to work. CASSIE Yeah, we'll see. Studying art and creating it are two very different things. SAM I've seen you sketch. CASSIE You thought my cat looked like an ostrich. SAM I said kangaroo, and it had style. CASSIE Nice save. SAM Well, tell the Louvre to reserve a spot on the wall for your masterpiece. CASSIE No pressure. CASSIE Black. JOY Red. ABIGAIL I don't do licorice. NICK Interesting. ABIGAIL What? That we're not all candy cohesive? NICK No... You're all holding your tea mugs the exact same way. Any other ways you guys are alike? What? CASSIE You could say we're all very... CASSIE Intuitive. NICK Grace said the same thing in her interview. What was it like connecting with family you hadn't met? JOY Exciting... and a little bit scary. NICK Why scary? ABIGAIL We can be pretty intimidating. JOY It was more the unknown than anything. CASSIE And now that you've gotten to know us? JOY Still pretty intimidating. CASSIE Everything okay? NICK Yeah. Yeah. Where were we? ABIGAIL You tell us. DEBBIE I hope you like mint mocha. MARTHA For me? DEBBIE It's a thank you gift. Your advice was spot on. MARTHA It was? DEBBIE David and I worked everything out. Our trip is un-canceled. MARTHA Oh, that's wonderful news. To think, that my advice helped Dear Debbie. DEBBIE And now Dear Debbie will be helping herself to a strawberry daiquiri and not worrying about bashful bride or anyone else's problems for a week. MARTHA Just because you're on vacation doesn't mean that your column needs to be too. DEBBIE Well, who else would write it? JOY How big do you think these dream candles should be? CASSIE Depends on the dream. What's important is that you put it into words. JOY Well, meeting you guys was kind of... ABIGAIL A dream come true? JOY You read my mind. CASSIE I didn't know you had that gift. What am I thinking? ABIGAIL That you want a glazed chocolate donut hole. CASSIE No, but I like how you think. JOY You know I just found out they make donut holes from the dough cut from the center of the donuts. ABIGAIL How did you think they made them? JOY I thought they rolled up little balls of dough. CASSIE We have so much to teach you. JOY Well, I'm about to make my first dream candle, so I have no doubt. ABIGAIL And you have no words written here. I say go big... pick something fun. JOY I've always loved the Florida Keys. ABIGAIL Now you have my attention. JOY Okay. I wanna lounge on a deck of a house I designed in Key West drinking a Pina Colada and watching the sun set. CASSIE Save me a spot. ABIGAIL Save me a Pi?ħa colada. CASSIE Now you just have to etch it into the metal. ABIGAIL What're you gonna etch? CASSIE I'm workin' on it. ABIGAIL You're not getting off that easy. What about rafting the Ganges River? CASSIE I did that when I was twenty-five. ABIGAIL Climbing Machu Picchu? CASSIE Twenty-six. ABIGAIL There's gotta be something you haven't done. JOY "E.M..." CASSIE Elizabeth Merriwick. JOY The candle's never been lit. Wonder what her dream was? CASSIE Let's find out. MARTHA Oh, that clock face is perfect. It will undoubtedly be the icing on the renovated cake. JOY What're you doing here? MARTHA This is my house. JOY Not you, him. MARTHA Oh, I take it that you two know each other? CARTER We've met. JOY We haggled over that clock. MARTHA Well haggle no more. I just paid handsome for it. JOY You mean handsomely? MARTHA What? Oh, yes, yes, of course. CARTER How do you two know each other? MARTHA Joy is my designer de maison. JOY I'm renovating the place. CARTER You? JOY What's that supposed to mean? CARTER It means we're working together. MARTHA I just hired Carter to be our head carpenter. WAITER That looks good. Spicing up the menu? STEPHANIE Spicing up my progressive dinner. WAITER What's a progressive dinner? STEPHANIE Three courses. Three houses. I'm doing the entree. WES This little joint make a cold brew coffee? STEPHANIE Wes? I thought you left. WES I was literally boarding the plane and I got a call from the realtor. We already have two offers on the cabin. STEPHANIE Wow. That's amazing. WES I know, so I figured I'd stick around a day or two so we could close the deal. STEPHANIE Makes sense. WES It'll also give me a chance to wear my leather jacket. STEPHANIE I think you mean my leather jacket. WES Hey, I was thinking, once the cabin officially sells, we should celebrate. STEPHANIE Oh... okay... WES Great. SAM Morning. CASSIE It is now. SAM Is Nick up yet? CASSIE I haven't seen him yet. SAM I haven't seen him at all. It almost feels like he's avoiding me. CASSIE I'm sure you'll catch up soon. SAM It'll have to be later. I've got two surgeries scheduled today. CASSIE Have a great day. SAM Yeah. You too. CASSIE There you are... you just missed your dad. NICK I did? Bummer. CASSIE Yeah. He thought so too. I'm gonna get some fresh tomatoes out of the garden. Morning. JOY Morning. Oh, I love an onion bagel. NICK Cinnamon raisin all the way. JOY Okay, this conversation is over. Hey, I heard a rumor that you design video games. NICK I'm learning. JOY I remember when I was learning to renovate houses. There was so much more to it than I ever imagined. NICK Like what? JOY Permits. Plumbing. Physics. NICK Physics? JOY Yeah. It's a part of everything. NICK Not this bagel. JOY That bagel started as dough, that dough needs physics to rise. NICK So no physics, no bagel? JOY No physics, no nothing. DONOVAN Seriously? ABIGAIL Seriously. DONOVAN A dream candle? ABIGAIL Yup. DONOVAN And when it burns down, whatever you etched on the bottom is gonna come true? ABIGAIL That's the plan. DONOVAN So what's the dream? ABIGAIL It's a secret. DONOVAN I thought we didn't keep secrets... ABIGAIL If I tell you, it won't come true. DONOVAN It's a dream candle, not a birthday cake. You don't have to tell me, I know what you wished for. ABIGAIL You think so? DONOVAN No, I know so... for the curse to be broken. ABIGAIL I wish it were that easy. DONOVAN So tell me your dream. ABIGAIL I wanna live in Tuscany. DONOVAN Italy? ABIGAIL Yeah. I spent a month there before I moved to New York. It was amazing. I've thought about living there ever since. DONOVAN Do you think that's actually gonna happen? ABIGAIL Well, I'm not moving there tomorrow. DONOVAN But you would... if you could? ABIGAIL You really said that? STEPHANIE I did. ABIGAIL And do you plan on celebrating with Wes when the cabin sells? STEPHANIE I don't. ABIGAIL Then you know what you need to do, right? STEPHANIE I think. ABIGAIL You think? STEPHANIE Look, I was hoping I was gonna come here and you were gonna tell me that this isn't as bad as I thought. ABIGAIL I can't. STEPHANIE I know. ABIGAIL So you're gonna talk to Wes? STEPHANIE I guess. ABIGAIL You guess? STEPHANIE I will. ABIGAIL You better. SAM I was just about to come looking for you. ADAM What's up? SAM Not Mr. Miller. I'm repairing his rotator cuff in a few hours and he's not exactly at peace about it. ADAM I'll see what I can do. SAM I appreciate it. ADAM Mr. Miller? MR MILLER Who are you? ADAM I'm Adam Hawkins, the hospital chaplain. MR MILLER Oh man, I need a chaplain? ADAM No, no, you don't need a chaplain, but people tell me I'm good company. Dr. Radford mentioned you tore your rotator cuff. Lemme guess... softball? MR MILLER Bowling. ADAM That's rough. I'm a 300 average myself. MR MILLER Guess it helps to have a higher power on your side. ADAM Yeah well, I'm not gonna argue with that, but you're in great hands with Dr. Radford. MR MILLER Yeah. It's not Dr. Radford I'm worried about... ADAM I get it. You know what I think we should do... Let's take a little ride. DONOVAN How's your dream candle? ABIGAIL About halfway there. DONOVAN Does that mean you're halfway to Italy? ABIGAIL You're really worried about this. DONOVAN Considering I plan to run for Governor with you by my side, I am worried about this. ABIGAIL You should be more worried about the curse getting in our way than Italy. DONOVAN Maybe your going to Italy is the curse. ABIGAIL It sounds like if I go, I'm on my own. DONOVAN I think it would be a great place to retire. I would have to learn Italian. ABIGAIL Well, you'd be retired, so you'd have lots of time on your hands. DONOVAN You get me. ABIGAIL I get you. Which is why I think you'll never really retire. DONOVAN I can see myself starting to slow down in like, 30 years. ABIGAIL And what if I didn't wanna wait that long? DONOVAN I just wish you would've told me. ABIGAIL Would it have changed things? DONOVAN Maybe. CARTER Original oak. Classic. JOY I should probably thank you. CARTER You probably should. JOY Why didn't you take my truck? CARTER It's not my style. All this plaster needs to be replaced with drywall. JOY All this plaster needs to be preserved. It's one of the reasons people like older homes. It gives it character. CARTER It's our job to give it character. JOY It's my job... you work for me. CARTER Technically, I work for Martha. JOY And Martha's already approved my game plan. CARTER So I gotta play by your rules? JOY Are we gonna have a problem? CARTER Sounds like we already do. MR MILLER It's peaceful out here. ADAM It's the hospital's best kept secret. So don't tell anyone. MR MILLER We had a tree just like that in my backyard when I was a kid. ADAM So did I... maybe we lived in the same neighborhood. MR MILLER Did you have a tree house? ADAM As a matter of fact, we did. Yeah. MR MILLER Yeah, but did you have a tree house? ADAM Apparently not as nice as yours. MR MILLER Oh man, this thing was amazing. ADAM Oh yeah? MR MILLER We had three rooms and a kitchen. ADAM No. MR MILLER The only thing missing was a two car garage. Those were some good times. ADAM They sure were. MR MILLER I'm glad we took this ride. CASSIE Let's talk about your dream. DONOVAN To be governor? CASSIE That's your goal. What's your dream? DONOVAN To get a piece of that baklava. CASSIE Not to play first base for the Cubs? DONOVAN I never told that to anyone. CASSIE Why not? DONOVAN I guess it was something that meant a lot to me that was just mine. CASSIE You're upset Abigail didn't tell you about Italy? DONOVAN I'm not upset. CASSIE You're afraid it might come true? DONOVAN I'm afraid I might lose her. CASSIE Does she know that? Oh, I forgot the powdered sugar. DONOVAN Tastes great. CASSIE No, it'll be worth it. Trust me. Do you mind, it's in the cabinet above the spices. TOM There you are. Our house is the first stop. We should make our spicy tomato bites for the progressive dinner as you would say, tout suite. MARTHA Tom, please, I'm in the zone. TOM Which zone would that be? MARTHA The advice zone. I'm answering a Dear Debbie letter. "Bridge Over Troubled Waters" is in desperate need of my help. TOM So is "Lonely in the Kitchen." MARTHA Did I miss that letter? You need my help. Of course. TOM I don't know where you find the energy to take all this on. MARTHA You know the saying, if you want something done... TOM ...Give it to Martha. MARTHA I'm glad you agree. Now let's go spice up those tomatoes. CASSIE Excuse me, Doctor, I need your professional opinion. Crepes or croissants? SAM Are you taking me to lunch? CASSIE Actually, I'm taking you to France. SAM Okay. As long as I'm back for surgery in an hour. CASSIE Does that mean you don't wanna go? SAM You're serious? CASSIE Yeah. I told you I had a little extra time on my hands. SAM What happened to the drawing class? CASSIE I decided to dream bigger. I wanna see the Louvre. SAM Haven't you already seen it? CASSIE Not with you. Let's just get on a plane and go. SAM I run a hospital. You run two businesses. CASSIE And? SAM And... And let's do it. CASSIE Really? NICK Don't you need to get to the progressive dinner? CASSIE I have some time. I can't wait to read your sociology paper. NICK The Merriwicks might be interesting enough to get me an A. CASSIE Right now the bases are loaded with Merriwicks. NICK Yeah, well my pitcher's about to bring the magic. CASSIE Bring it. Oh, that is called a grand slam. NICK Technically, it's called a reverse rotation. CASSIE Reverse rotation? Interesting. NICK It's the only thing I can remember from physics class. CASSIE I doubt that's true. NICK I wish it wasn't. CASSIE The email you got yesterday? NICK I failed my physics test. CASSIE Is that why you came all the way home to do the sociology interviews? NICK I needed to take a break. If I don't pass the class they're gonna kick me out of the game design program. I don't know how I'm gonna tell Dad. MARTHA Do you smell what I smell? TOM Spicy tomatoes? MARTHA Scandal. This just in. "Dear Debbie, I'm keeping a secret from my significant other and I'm worried they're on to me." TOM That's a juicy one. MARTHA Oh, it gets better. "I fear my secret will come out tonight while we're at a dinner party. If it does, it will cause a major scene. What should I do?" Signed, "Torn Over Mischief." TOM What should they do? MARTHA The bigger question is, what should we do? There's a good chance this person is talking about our progressive dinner. TOM You think it's someone we know? MARTHA I think the pool of suspects is quite narrow. It's got to be either Stephanie and Adam, Abigail and Donovan, or Cassie and Sam. TOM Cassie and Sam? I can't imagine those two keeping secrets. MARTHA You never know what goes on behind closed doors. TOM I hope this doesn't put a damper on dinner. It's about to start. MARTHA On the contrary, this will be a soiree to remember. The game is afoot. MARTHA You-hoo. I want to welcome everyone to the first stop of our progressive dinner. Hors d'oeuvres and perhaps a bit of mischief. Bon appetit. Keep your eyes peeled, one of our guests is harboring that secret. TOM Stephanie seems a bit... antsy. MARTHA That's par for the course. SAM You two talking golf? MARTHA We can be. Any juicy gossip out on the links? SAM Uh, no, I steer clear of that stuff. I don't like to be a part of any major scenes. MARTHA Maybe you don't, but what about your lovely bride? CASSIE What about me? MARTHA Honestly, how do you do that? CASSIE It's a secret. MARTHA One that you feel compelled to share? CASSIE I feel compelled to get another brie bite. JOY Martha, maybe you can solve something for us? MARTHA I'm all ears. ABIGAIL Don't drag Martha into this. MARTHA Oh no, please. Drag away. ABIGAIL Okay. Appetizers... JOY ...are different from hors d'oeuvres, right? MARTHA Excuse me? ABIGAIL They're the same thing. TOM I'm sure Martha has something to say about that. MARTHA You think a buffalo wing and a delicate brie in flaky puff pastry are in the same league? ABIGAIL That's exactly what I think. MARTHA She has so much yet to learn. JOY And I'm gonna get another hors d'oeuvres. ABIGAIL I'm gonna get another appetizer. MARTHA Oh. Before you scoot, I feel compelled to ask... are you a party of one tonight? ABIGAIL Donovan's working, he's gonna join us later. MARTHA Oh, is that what he told you? ADAM We've got some news. STEPHANIE We do not. ADAM She deserves to know. MARTHA She certainly does. My ears are en fuego. STEPHANIE Okay, but you have to promise to be cool about this. MARTHA Consider me an igloo. STEPHANIE Middleton Village Magazine just named Tinsdale on Toast their sandwich of the week. MARTHA As promised, I'm remaining cool but I will say, I am not one bit surprised. TOM Neither am I, it's a heck of a sandwich. STEPHANIE Congrats, Martha. ADAM Sauerkraut on tuna, who knew. JOY I'm torn. MARTHA Torn? Torn over what? JOY Cucumber canapes or stuffed mushrooms. MARTHA They're both scrumptious. Winnowing out our letter writer may be harder than I thought. TOM Good thing you always rise to the challenge. MARTHA I do, don't I? And it's chal-onge. JOY I could use one of those. STEPHANIE Tough day? JOY My carpenter quit... well, technically, Martha's carpenter. STEPHANIE Does she know? MARTHA She does now. JOY We didn't exactly see eye to eye. MARTHA I see. I did handpick him, but you're the maestro, and I defer to your judgement, for now. You have 24 hours to find another carpenter. STEPHANIE That was awkward. JOY You don't happen to know any good carpenters do you? STEPHANIE The best one in town actually. I'll drop you his contact. JOY Carter Basante? SAM There's something on Nick's mind, but he just won't tell me. CASSIE First year of college can be quite an adjustment. SAM You think it's about school? CASSIE I have a feeling he doesn't want to let you down. SAM As long as he's doing his best, he could never let me down. CASSIE Maybe you should remind him. MARTHA There you two are... looking quite clandestine. SAM Nothing top secret. CASSIE Just stepped away for a moment. MARTHA Well, whatever you want to call it, we're all moseying on to Stephanie's for the entree portion of the evening. STEPHANIE Dinner is served. SAM I really appreciate you helping out with Mr. Miller. Made his surgery a lot easier on both of us. ADAM It's what we do. I'll get it. Wes? WES Hey. ADAM What're you doing here? WES I just came by to let Stephanie know the cabin sold. ADAM Looks like you came to celebrate. MARTHA I think we're getting warmer. STEPHANIE Wes, what're you doing here? WES I just came to tell you the cabin sold, but I didn't know you had company. ADAM Or he probably would've brought enough champagne for everyone. WES I'm sorry, I'm gonna go but I'll let you know when the papers are ready to sign. STEPHANIE Yeah, okay. SAM I take it you had no idea he was still in town? ADAM Why would she keep that from me? STEPHANIE I know. I should've told him. CASSIE Does that mean there's something to tell? ADAM Maybe I'm overreacting. SAM That's a question for Stephanie. STEPHANIE I'm sure he's gonna ask. CASSIE Well, then you need to be honest. MARTHA So, Stephanie's ex showing up was quite the secret rendezvous. ABIGAIL I wouldn't call it that. MARTHA I beg to differ. DONOVAN I agree with Abigail. MARTHA Look at the two of you, both on the same page. DONOVAN About some things. ABIGAIL And torn over others. MARTHA "Torn" did you say "torn"? ABIGAIL I'd rather not say. MARTHA Is that right? ABIGAIL I'm gonna go get a drink. DONOVAN I'm gonna go get a kebab. JOY Well, that was a scene. MARTHA I agree, but would you classify it as a "major scene?" JOY No. A major scene was when I was renovating a house in North Carolina, I walked in and the whole place was flooded. I literally watched the plumber float by me. MARTHA Yes. Well, that's old news. You wouldn't happen to have anything more current to share? JOY I do. MARTHA Do tell. JOY Well, there will be no floods at your house because we're replacing all the old pipes with copper. MARTHA How wonderful. TOM Any closer to unmasking Torn Over Mischief? MARTHA Not really. TOM Does this mean you're throwing in the towel? MARTHA Never. I refuse to let this mystery remain a mystery. ADAM What's going on with you and Wes? STEPHANIE Nothing. ADAM Why didn't you tell me he stayed in town? That silence tells me everything. STEPHANIE Not everything. When we were packing up the cabin, we took a trip down memory lane and... ADAM And... STEPHANIE And we hugged. ADAM You hugged? STEPHANIE Look, I didn't mean for things to get so complicated. ADAM No, it sounds simple to me. STEPHANIE What does that mean? ADAM I think it means you need some space. STEPHANIE No. No, I don't. ADAM Maybe I do. I'm gonna go. CASSIE Oh, husbands and wives aren't supposed to sit together at dinner parties. SAM What if I want to have a tete-et- tete? CASSIE Sounds serious. SAM Au contraire. CASSIE Oh. Practicing your French? SAM Thought I was being subtle. CASSIE I could see you strolling down the Champs Elysees. SAM Just me, I thought that was more about us. CASSIE Us in Paris, that would be a dream come true. SAM I'm sensing a but. CASSIE Well, I love that you were willing to drop everything and go. SAM I guess you're rubbing off on me. CASSIE Ditto. SAM I take it that you changed your mind about the trip. CASSIE Well, you run a hospital, I run two businesses. You knew I'd get there all along. SAM I had a feeling. CASSIE And you still humored me. SAM I was right there in that plane seat next to you. MARTHA Alright. Pack your bags, everyone, we're flying to Grey House. Chop, chop! STEPHANIE You don't have to stay with me. Go catch up with the others and have dessert. I'll be fine. ABIGAIL Nice try, but I'm not leaving. And because I'm feeling extra nice, I'm not even gonna say, "I told you so." STEPHANIE Thanks. I should have listened to you about Wes. If you have any more advice, I promise to take it. ABIGAIL Well, do you want Adam to give you space? STEPHANIE No. That's the last thing I want. ABIGAIL Then I think you know what you have to do. JOY My whipped cream usually comes from a can. CASSIE How's the renovation going? CARTER I'm guessing not so good without a carpenter. JOY What're you doing here? CARTER Brought you back the house key. JOY Well, you may wanna hang onto it, we're starting early tomorrow. CARTER What part of "I quit" do you not understand? JOY What part of me trying to apologize do you not understand? CASSIE What part of a fresh start do neither of you understand? Sometimes if you give a little, you get a lot. CARTER You think she's right? JOY She could be. CARTER Guess I'll hang on to these. JOY Guess you could stick around for dessert. CARTER I'd like to, but my girlfriend and I are headed to a movie. JOY Then I'll see you in the morning. Don't be late. MARTHA So many fabulous treats, how shall I ever choose? ABIGAIL I'm sure you'll figure it out. MARTHA I've been trying to figure it out all night. ABIGAIL Can I tell you a secret? MARTHA Of course, it's safe with me. ABIGAIL The baklava is better with powdered sugar. DONOVAN I thought you might like this. ABIGAIL Tiramisu? DONOVAN I made it myself. Wanted to bring a piece of Italy to Middleton. ABIGAIL Not bad. DONOVAN Not bad? That was hours of painstaking work. ABIGAIL Only hours? DONOVAN You're not making this easy. ABIGAIL This was really nice... but if I moved to Italy tomorrow, would you come with me? Now who's not making it easy? STEPHANIE Hey. ADAM Hey. STEPHANIE Can we talk? ADAM Sure. STEPHANIE I'm sorry. ADAM I thought you were happy. STEPHANIE I was... I am. ADAM I'm not interested in competing with Wes. STEPHANIE You are not competing with anyone. That was me freaking out. ADAM About what? STEPHANIE About us. I was scared. ADAM You're scared of us? STEPHANIE Scared of how much I love you. ADAM I love you, too. SAM I brought you pie. NICK Cassie told you, didn't she? SAM She mentioned that something might be bothering you. NICK Physics is bothering me. SAM For me, it was organic chemistry. The most dreaded of all science classes. Made a 58 on my first test. NICK I doubt that. SAM You doubt my epic fail? Reactions, mechanisms, nomenclature, it all had me dizzy. NICK Tell me about it. Kinematics, oscillations, thermo dynamics. My head is spinning. SAM The Radford men, taking science by storm. NICK But you did take it by storm. SAM You will too. NICK I'm glad you think so. SAM I do, but you need to think so too. This isn't the first time you've been knocked down, right? It's what I admire about you, you always get back up. If you wanna design video games, what do you need to do? NICK Pass physics. SAM And what're you gonna do? Don't make me take that pie back. NICK I'm gonna pass physics. SAM Now we're talkin'... And you know we can talk any time? As long as you're doing your best, you can never disappoint me. Now eat your pie. MARTHA Let me guess, you thought I could use a piece of pie? CASSIE I have banana cream and lemon meringue. MARTHA Well, this is quite a conundrum. CASSIE Are you torn? MARTHA Torn you say? What an interesting word choice. CASSIE Another interesting word is "mischief." MARTHA You know who wrote the letter. CASSIE I do. MARTHA Well, what're you waiting for, spill the tea. CASSIE You know it's anonymous. MARTHA I know that it's almost impossible to figure out who put pen to paper. CASSIE Well, I will tell you that the letter writer is not who you think it is. MARTHA Who do you think I think it is? CASSIE Half the fun is figuring it out for yourself. MARTHA Really? What's the other half, because this detective thing is for the birds. CASSIE That is my cue to fly away. CASSIE Is that your second dessert? SAM Third. CASSIE The organic chemistry story worked? SAM It's a good story. CASSIE Yeah. If you get knocked down... SAM ...You gotta get back up. Parenting never ends. CASSIE I hope it never does. You didn't need to do that. ABIGAIL Told you. JOY Elizabeth's candle went out. SAM What happens now? I can take a hint. CASSIE Thanks for understanding. ABIGAIL What was Elizabeth's dream? JOY "Never Stop Learning." ABIGAIL Beautiful moon. DONOVAN It's even more beautiful in Tuscany. ABIGAIL How 'bout we just forget all about Tuscany. DONOVAN It's kinda hard when I know how much it means to you. I never imagined I'd live anywhere but here. But, I also never imagined I'd meet anyone like you. ABIGAIL That makes two of us. DONOVAN I want your dream to come true. ABIGAIL Are you saying you would move to Italy? DONOVAN I'm not saying I wouldn't. TOM I'm sorry you didn't solve your mystery. It was a tough case. MARTHA I did, however, compose an answer to "torn over mischief." Will you indulge me? TOM Of course. MARTHA "Dear Torn. Have no fear. If your secret does come out, the major scene will be your wife's delight in discovering that your beloved son and daughter-in-law are visiting next week." TOM You figured it out. What gave me away? Was it Cassie and Abigail playing along? MARTHA Well, I did sense those two were playing little games. TOM Did you also figure out the acronym? MARTHA Oh Tom. T-O-M. Torn over mischief. Elementary, my dear husband. And who else knows me well enough to set up such a grand scheme? Thank you. Also Dylan just texted me. SAM I'd like to make a toast. ADAM Not without us, you don't. JOY Well, then you are gonna need these. SAM When Cassie told me about this whole progressive dinner idea... CASSIE He loved it. SAM Actually I did. I thought what a great way to spend a night with friends like you. So, here's to many more... ALL Cheers. STEPHANIE Whoa. MARTHA It's not a party until something breaks. STEPHANIE What's wrong? ADAM I don't know. SAM Can you lower your arm? ADAM I don't think so. SAM Just try it for me. Let's get you in a chair.
