Good Witch (2015–…): Season 1, Episode 3 - Do the Right Thing - full transcript

Against her best judgment, Cassie agrees to pose as Ryan's girlfriend to make his ex jealous, but this confuses the good doctor and Cassie herself when she and Ryan kiss.

Previously
on Good Witch.

I have big plans for this year

and they all start and end on the
success of the Heritage Festival.

Annie is back.

What game? -The game
that you've been winning

and I've been losing
ever since the divorce.

Her real name's Heather.
She is my granddaughter.

Where will you go?
Leaving is a mistake.

I've made a lot of those.

There you are.

I have a bone to pick with you.



Where's my starter's pistol?

Retired. Permanently.

I'm not leading a band.
I want my gun.

I don't think anybody
wants a repeat of last year.

I didn't know it was loaded.
- With blanks, thankfully.

I scared myself way more than I
scared that silly scouting troop.

Whistle.

Well, I suppose
I'll just have to make do.

Have a nice night,
Madam Mayor.

Refill?
- No.

If I have any more,
I won't sleep all week.

Thanks.

We need to talk.

Gary Zimmerman.
- He's a Federal Prosecutor.



Mr. Beamish.

I really didn't want
to bother anyone.

I think you're probably
pretty bothered yourself.

That's why I'm leaving.
- Before the race?

If I had known that Heather...

Ashley was in Middleton,
I never would have come.

I don't want to upset her. I don't
want to cause her the trouble.

She's gone.

Because of me?
- No.

Unfortunately, she's got
troubles of her own.

So Ashley isn't Ashley,

she's Heather,
and she's on the run?

Her fiance was
laundering money.

And once she found out
what he was up to,

she agreed to
testify against him,

but then got scared
and came here.

I'm pretty sure that
her fiance got to her.

Ashley?
- Yup.

What kind of trouble
is she in?

Well,
she's running from her past

and there are some people
after her.

But my stepson
is a police officer

and he's out looking
for her right now.

Before she was born,
I cut her mother off.

Her mother was dating
a man I didn't approve of.

She moved in with him,
got pregnant.

I told her to come home,
she refused to leave him.

I came here to fulfill
a promise to my wife

and look what I've opened up.

But maybe being here
with Ashley gives you a chance

to fulfill a different promise
to your wife.

I should go.

Can I leave this with you?
In case she comes back?

It's just money.
I want her to have it.

I... I think you'll find
someone in need

to give it to
on your journey home.

The race starts
in 30 minutes!

More carbs?

The best thing about running

is eating.

How about you?

I've given up running,

remember?

But I haven't

given up dancing.

Good to know.

So, are you going to the ball?

Hadn't given it much thought.

You?

I'm catering it.

The whole town's
gonna be there.

Well, I'm told that
I should mingle

more with my fellow citizens.

Mingling is good.

You know, I have to say,

I lived in the same building

in New York for 15 years

and I'd be hard-pressed

to pick any of my neighbors

out of a line-up.

Not a lot of mingling
in New York?

Not on purpose, no.

So, does this mean
I will see you, or...

You just might.

Thanks.

You okay?

Yeah, I'm just,
psyching myself up.

Good.

I thought you had asthma.

Beet juice?

Is that a dare?

Beets are an excellent
source of inorganic nitrates

which supply blood flow
to the muscles,

but, of course, you already
knew that, didn't you?

I don't need beets,
just skill and hard work.

I think everyone
could use a little extra help.

I think you're right.

I love your beet juice.

Thank you, Cassie.

And you are going down.

Something I said?

No, someone he saw.

Who?
- Annie.

Who's that?
- His ex-fiancee.

Who's the guy with her?
- That would be Mark,

his ex-best friend,
Annie's husband.

I put Ashley's description
out on the wire.

I've got the county sheriff
looking as well

and obviously my men
are keeping their eyes open.

I've got the Marshals Service
helping, too.

I hope we can find her
before her fiance does

and I can get her to testify.

Putting her ex behind bars
is the safest thing for her.

Yeah.

Missed you at the race.

Nick!

Dad, please.

What are you doing?
- Trying to remember

what video games are like.

I think you love that XBox
more than me.

Don't make me choose.

Come on.

What do you want me to do
for entertainment?

Come to the ball with me.
- Ball?

The whole town will be there.

I don't dance.
- Well, just come, hang out.

If I go, will you give me
my stuff back?

No.
- Then have a good time.

Hi.

I just feel like being alone,
thanks.

Okay.

I'm sorry about the race.

I think we both know
that's not what this is about.

I take it you didn't know
they were coming?

No!

And you know
what I can't stand?

That she still gets to me
and he still gets to me.

It takes a lot of energy
to stay angry.

That's interesting.

Doesn't change how I feel.

I know that you can
always forgive people,

but for me, there's a limit.

Maybe it's time

to change tactics.
- Yeah.

Okay.

What are you suggesting?

Forgive.
- You're kidding me.

No. No way.

I'm sorry, Cassie, but you're
wrong about this one.

I hear congratulations
are in order.

I won.

Ryan came in second.

He didn't have his mind
on the race.

His fiancee took off
with his best friend.

That's rough!

Yeah, but anger isn't healthy.

Yes, it is.
- No, it's not.

Sometimes, anger is all that gets
you out of bed in the morning.

But you wouldn't understand.

Excuse me?

You're one of those,

"turn the other cheek" people,
I can tell.

Well, forgiveness isn't about
the person who hurt you,

it's about you and moving on.
Hate traps you in the past.

Yeah, well,
you've never been...

Never been what?

Cheated on.

But you have.

Well, it wasn't my best friend
or anything.

My wife's Pilates instructor.

I should have known.

She was always
going to the gym,

but she was in horrible shape.

And you never forgave her?
- No. I divorced her.

Well, I have some work to do

at the clinic.

See you tonight?
- Yeah.

Hi.
- Hi!

Amber!

You wanna hang out?

With me?

Yeah, silly.

Who else?

Great. Just have a coffee and
I'll be right with you. Okay.

Hello.
- Hi.

Can I help you?

Well, actually,
I was just driving by

on my way out of town
and remembered this place.

This is, for your shelter.

I don't understand.
- I'm making a donation.

Somebody suggested I might find
someone in need to give it to.

Well, this is incredibly
generous of you.

This'll help a lot of women
in trouble, thank you.

Okay.
- Don't...

It's okay.

Who are you?

I'm someone
who wants to help you.

Morning.

Ryan!

Where are you going?

Well, to be frank,
away from you two.

You're never gonna forgive me?
- That's not true.

I will never forgive
either one of you.

Come on, isn't there
a statute of limitations

on this mess between us?
- Yeah.

Now that you're dating Cassie,

don't you wanna just
move beyond all this?

I...

I kind of thought you two
would end up together.

You are together, right?
Or do we have it all wrong?

Cassie.
- Ryan. What's up?

Will you go to the ball
with me?

I don't understand.

I'm asking you to be my date.

I still don't understand.
- Seriously?

Okay, you need to be my date

because Annie and Mark
already think that you are...

Because they think
we are together,

like couple together.

Why would they think that?
- I don't know.

Because I told her.

It's not totally a lie.

We are together, we're just
not together-together.

Okay, so I lied.

But I know her, she's just
here to check up on us.

We're not an "us".
- She thinks we are ever since

she saw us together at that
real estate thingy last week.

Yeah.

Okay.

Okay, okay, never mind,
all right?

Argh! Just forget
this conversation.

I plead temporary insanity,

and I will go and tell
Annie the truth.

Okay. -I don't know
what I was thinking.

I'm sorry.

Wait.

I do know what I was thinking.

See, Annie is only here

to find out if you and I
are together

and she is hoping
that we are not,

because she likes that
she's happily married

and I'm still single.

In some sick kind of way, it
makes her feel superior to me.

And that... That is one
among many reasons

that I will never forgive her.

Or them.

What?

Ryan tells me
congratulations are in order.

I guess they are.
- You're together?

Together?

Together.
- Yes.

Yeah.
- Yeah.

Sam. Come on in.

I saw you walk up.

So, what can I do for you?

Nothing.

And yet, here you stand.

I just don't want you to get
the wrong idea about me.

Wrong idea?
- Earlier.

Yes.
- I was just saying that I...

I understand how Ryan feels.

Okay.

Don't do that.

Do what?
- Sound like you agree with me

when you really don't.
- Sam...

Some things can't be forgiven.

I believe in forgiveness,
you don't.

No, I believe in forgiveness,

it's just some things
are unforgivable!

Forgiveness is like love.

If it isn't unconditional,
it doesn't work.

I wouldn't expect you
to understand.

From what I can gather, you had
a pretty idyllic marriage.

Yeah, that was ended
by the person who killed Jake.

And you don't hate him?
- I did.

I'm human.

But if I continued to hate,
it would have consumed me

and that's not a way to live.

Hi, Cassie.

I was so worried about you.

I know.

Well, this is boring.

I have two papers
and a lab due.

This is what it's like
to hang with me.

Well, can we at least
talk about boys?

Which boy?

Hi.

Ask Amber to the dance.

Do this and we're even.

Since when are you
friends with Amber?

Believe me, I'm not.

But she's trying
to be friends with me.

Yeah, she's at my house

hoping to "accidentally"
run into you at your house.

I don't like to dance,
I already told her that.

News flash,
she doesn't care.

And who doesn't like to dance?

Me.

You're not any good
at it, are you?

And you don't do anything that
you're not good at, right?

Bye, Grace.
Have a fun time with Amber.

Nick, please!

Okay, I'll teach you!

If I do, this clears
the slate between us?

Yes.

Absolutely.

You're going
to the dance with Cassie?

Yes! She's helping me
save face with Mark and Annie.

She's a good friend.

What?

Just for you,

I think there's a little truth
in this big lie.

Where'd you find her?
- We didn't.

Mr. Beamish did.

She was in a shelter
on the other side of town.

What's the deal
with those two?

Well, if Beamish
didn't tell you,

it's not my news to share.

Will she testify?

She didn't say, but I can tell
she's really scared.

I know everyone's going
to the ball tonight,

but I think I'll stay here,
keep an eye on her.

Won't really be any fun
without Tara anyway.

I know you miss her.

I do.

You have to get off the couch.

Argh, I can't do this.

Nick, come on.

It's not dismantling
a nuclear warhead,

it's a slow dance.

Only it's not, is it?

Nick, what happened to you?
- I don't wanna talk about it.

You know what?

Let's just forget
about all of this.

I was hit, okay?

You were dancing
and you got hit?

By what?

Emily.

You got hit by a girl?

I was eight, okay?

It was my first dance and...
I said no and she hit me.

I was tortured at school
for like a year.

Seems like you're still
kind of torturing yourself.

And that dancing thing
is just a mental block,

you need to get past it.
- Why?

So you can take Amber to
the dance and she'll go back

to bothering you and
stop bothering me.

And

I promise that
no one will know

that for a very short time

you doubted your coolness.

What?

You are bad.

Let go.

Grace?

Your... Your mom said
you were over here.

It's ruined!
The ball is ruined!

What happened?

They have a gas leak
at the Country Club

and they have to shut
the whole place down.

Well, okay, don't panic.
- I'm jinxed, Cassie. Jinxed!

Do you have something
to, you know, de-jinx me?

I don't believe
in jinxes, Martha.

Well, then what
do you suggest I do?

Move the ball.

Move the ba...

My.

But...

But the leak!
How did you...

Well, I had a wedding
scheduled for the weekend

and today I just had a feeling to
start prepping Grey House early.

A feeling?
- A feeling.

And the wedding?

The father of the bride
had to have emergency surgery,

so they have to postpone.
- Fabulous!

Well, you know, not about
the father or the wedding,

but for us.

The ball will go on!

Cassie, thank you.

Ten minutes before
the guests start arriving.

Ryan.
- Steph.

You're early.

Yeah, well, that I am.

I was hoping
I could talk to you.

What do you want?

Look.

I know it's a little late...

Okay, it's a lot late,
but,

I wanted to say I'm sorry.

What do you expect me to say?
- Nothing.

I just...

I wanted to say what
I should have said years ago.

And,

now I've said it,
so thanks for that.

And you... You and Cassie
make a great couple.

It's nice to see you so,
you know, happy.

Right, well...

Don't you hate it

when horrible people
do not-so horrible things?

You look so beautiful, Mom.

Aw, but you are
the real beauty.

But

you don't wanna look
beautiful, do you?

What?
- Well,

if you look beautiful,

then you'll attract people,

then maybe you'll feel
attracted to them.

It's not cheating on Daddy.

I know.

He wants you to be happy.

Yeah, I know,

but...
- Mom,

it's time.

Thanks.

Hi.

Thanks for letting me
come back.

You're welcome here anytime.

So you... You know
the truth about me?

Brandon told me.

I don't know if I can testify,
Cassie.

Tonight, you are safe.

And...

it could be good for you
to try and have some fun.

Have you seen Nick?

He's coming.

You sure?
- Yeah.

He better be.

This is not a pub!

Shoulders back.

Tray, shoulder height.
Up, up, up! Up!

Go. Now.
- But I...

I wasn't finished with him.
- You have to stand down.

Excuse me?

You need to back off the staff
or I'm gonna have a mutiny

on my hands. -But they are not
carrying their trays properly.

If you don't leave them alone,
Madam Mayor,

they are going to
improperly carry their trays

to their cars and drive away.

Looks like you were right about me
finding a place for that money.

You found Ashley.
- I did.

And if you hadn't...

Does she know
who you really are?

She has so many problems
and she's scared.

Maybe she just needs
a little lesson in bravery.

Ryan is gonna be knocked
on his... Well, you know.

I didn't dress for Ryan.

Well, he dressed for you.
- What do you mean?

It is amazing that you see so
many things for other people,

but yet are totally blind to
the fact that Ryan likes you,

and not just as a friend.

You look marvelous.

Thanks.

These are for you.
Thank you.

Sweet!
- Yeah, sweet.

Okay, what gives?

What?
- Don't "what" me.

What's going on
with you and Nick?

All you need to know is that
Amber was driving me crazy

and now she's with Nick.

Why won't you tell me
what's really going on?

I can't. -Since when
don't you tell me things?

I promised.

Well, whatever he told you
must be pretty bad.

Anthony.

Okay, fine.

Cassie, hi!
- Hello.

Where's your man?

Ryan.
- He's on a call.

Business.

You two got together,
kind of, all of a sudden?

We did.

I still have a lot of
friends in town. -Yes.

My parents still live here.
- Right.

And no one has said anything
about you and Ryan dating.

It's funny?
- Yeah, yeah, we've been,

you know,
keeping it kind of quiet.

Yep.

Okay, look,

I know Ryan, we almost
got married, and he's good

at a lot of things,
but lying is not one of them.

You two aren't really dating,
are you?

I know I'm right, I do!

And I know why Ryan would lie,

but what I don't get is why
you would go along with it.

I just have to ask,

why do you care so much
who Ryan does or doesn't date?

I don't care.

No, you do.

And I think you need
to ask yourself why.

I have my own idea,

but I'll let you figure
that one out for yourself.

What's in the punch?

Wouldn't you like to know!

Yes, one punch, pl...

Make it two, please.

Well, you look stunning.

You clean up nicely yourself.

Thanks. I didn't think I'd be
wearing this suit so soon,

but,

you know, Middleton is more of
a casual place. I like that.

But we still like to put on
our party clothes.

Clearly.

You should do it more often.

I'm sorry about

earlier. That conversation...

It's okay to be hurt, Sam.

Yeah. She cheated on me.

I don't want to talk
about it, really.

It's just that...
I only want to apologize.

For being right again?

Bottom line is,
people don't change.

But sometimes,
they do surprise you.

Nick! You came.

Yeah, I did.

Nick...

See you, Dad.

Okay.

Excuse us.

You're an "us" now?

Did you make a decision about
whether you're gonna testify?

No.

Why did you show up
at the shelter?

And

how do you know my real name?

Who are you?

And why do you care so much
about what happens to me?

I really do want to tell you.

So tell me.

To be honest,

I'm a little scared at how you'll
react when I tell you the truth.

So,

I'm gonna take a deep breath

and I'll tell you the truth.

About me?
- About us.

"Us"?

I'm your grandfather.

Hi.

I'm Mark.

Sam.

Do you live in Middleton?

Not anymore.

I'm from New York.
Just moved here.

Eesh! Sorry to hear that.

I like it.

Do you come to the festival
every year?

Not if I can help it.

So what brings you this year?

Well,

I have a little business here.

Business?
- I'm in real estate.

So is Ryan.

Yeah, I know.

So, are you here to see Ryan?

I'm here to see
a client of his

that,

might be looking to
become a client of mine.

Thanks for bringing me
a drink.

Doesn't seem right you
being stuck in here all night.

Well, I'll get out
eventually.

Are you saving me a dance?

I was considering it.

Well, consider
your dance card filled

as soon as I get out
of this kitchen.

Can I ask you a question?

What's the deal with Mark?

Ryan's ex-besty.
- Yeah.

How long do you have?

What're you so happy about?

I...

I promised Grace
I wouldn't say.

Excuse me.

Thank you for this.

You don't need me.
- I do.

You only think you do.

So changing the subject,

Mark apologized.

Really?

Yeah. I think he wants
to be friends or something.

And you?

I never thought
I'd have this dilemma.

I thought hell would
freeze over

before he'd ever own up
to what he did to me.

And?

I don't know, Cassie,
I don't know if I'm ready

to try all this forgiveness
stuff you're talking about.

Well, you'll know when.

I'm gonna testify.

I called Zimmerman.
I wanted you to know.

What made you
change your mind?

My grandfather.

I have a grandfather.
- Yeah?

Yeah!

I... I ran to Middleton
to get away from my life

and I actually found
a life I didn't know I had.

I found my past and, I guess,

the strength to do
the right thing.

And the only way
any of that is gonna happen

is if I testify
and put my fiance in jail.

So, you're leaving?

But maybe
I'll be back someday.

I'd like that.

Thank you.

Hi, there.

I think I need to tell you something.
- Shoot.

You know your friend, Mark?
- Mark's not my friend.

That's an accurate statement.

So I'm gonna to go back and
help her while she testifies.

And we're gonna
take it from there.

Thank you.

I didn't do anything,
you did.

And I think you kept
your promise to your wife.

Yeah.

I think I did.

What'd you say to Anthony?

What?
- Anthony!

You told him, didn't you?
- No.

No, I didn't.
- You're lying.

I... Nick!

Man, you and Annie
deserve one another.

Excuse me?
- No, I don't think I will,

not this time!

Neither of you is actually
here for the dance, right?

All right.
What are we here for?

Well, Annie's here to make
sure that I'm still alone

and you are here to steal
some of my business.

I don't know what
you're talking about.

You've been lying so long.

I don't think you'd know
how to tell the truth

if your life depended on it.

Well, you know what,

I guess we're never
going to be friends again.

We were never friends in the first place!
That was my mistake.

Yours was coming back here,

thinking you could
screw me over again.

Now wait a minute...
- I'm done with you

and I'm done with Annie.

Fine.

And Jones, the real estate
developer you thought

that you could steal from me,
he's done with you, too.

Yeah.

See, 'cause I got
a little tip from Sam,

so I called him.

Jones knew you were full of it

from the first time
that he spoke to you.

You're losing your game,
buddy.

You're never
gonna get over the fact

that I stole Annie from you.

You're wrong.

I am over it.

Right.

Finally and for good,

I am over it.

Which is why
I can tell you this,

I forgive you.

I don't understand.

It's not about you,
it's about me.

Just go.

Go?
Why would I go?

Because you've been caught

and you can't lie
your way out of this one.

And because Middleton
is my town, it's my home.

And I think you're not
welcome here anymore.

I should have known I'd
never get out of this kitchen.

You don't need to.

To what?

Get out of the kitchen.

Impressive.

I've got moves.

I just want to make
something clear.

Okay.
- I don't care about Ryan.

I think you do.
- Ladies.

What's going on?

Just give it up, Ryan.
- Give what up?

You and Cassie
are not together.

I know you're lying.
Just admit it.

Just let it go.

No! I know I'm right.
Just admit it.

No, Annie, you're wrong!

Together enough for you?

What happened?

He thinks I did something.

What does he think I did?

Anthony?

I may have let him believe

that you told me
what you wouldn't tell me.

Hi, Anthony.

You okay?

Yeah.

I have to go.

Okay, I'll see you later.
- Okay.

Everything okay?
- Yeah.

Thanks for that,
the kiss.

It shut her up.
- That it did.

Yes.

I think I get the whole
forgiveness thing now.

It's pretty powerful
stuff?

Yeah, I feel like a new man.

I guess, I was just

blinded by what I thought was
love and I spent a lot of time

telling everyone
who cared for me

that they didn't understand,
that they didn't get Annie.

But

I didn't get it, not them.

And then I got it.

So again, thank you.

For?

For coming with me,

for kissing me in front
of the whole town.

You are a good friend.

Look,

I just wanted you to know

that I didn't tell Anthony
anything.

I don't believe you.

It seems I won a race,
but lost an argument.

Yeah?

People can change,
especially my son.

Just have to give them
a chance.

What?

So this is what it feels like
to be wrong.

You better
get used to it.

Well, living next door to you,

I think I better.

Well, that was a Heritage Ball
to remember.

I can honestly say that
I can't wait for next year.

One more for the road?

You know something?

I think we make
an amazing fake couple.

I agree.

Maybe...

Maybe we should
try it for real.

They make a nice couple,
don't they?
