Good Witch (2015–…): Season 2, Episode 8 - Truth - full transcript

Tom struggles to find the right field supervisor for his trip to the Maldives. Tara confesses to making a significant life decision behind Brandon's back. Nick, after writing his required essay, isn't as sure about schooling in London as he once thought. In keeping Martha in the dark about her surprise anniversary party, a cover-up germinates into word of a romantic surprise dinner between Cassie to Tom. Abigail quickly regrets her latest dating success. Sam decides to approach the hospital chief of staff offer with terms of his own, makes a decision on the lake house, and solves the ghost issue with Cassie's latest guest.

I had no idea this part
of the park even existed.

Well, I am an archeologist,

it is my job to unearth things.

I thought we were
going on a hike.

- Oh, we are! Right after we...
- Jump off a cliff?

- Yeah.
- I'm surprised.

You are?

At how much I want to do this.

Hell, for me, Middleton
has been one big surprise.

I never thought I'd like
teaching as much as I do.

Yeah, I knew you would.



You were always leading,
even when you weren't in charge.

So, uh. Teachers lead.

Ah, ladies first.

All right.

Oh yeah, Cassie!

Here we go!

Woo!

Woo!

(LAUGHING)

It's funny,

I think I was meant
to come here.

Fate plays a role
in everything, huh?

I think in a way, my moving
here lead me to the Maldives.

I mean, being in the field,



I never had time to apply
for a grant of my own.

- Fate.
- Yeah, or luck.

- Or both.
- Ha!

Although, if I don't
find a field supervisor

by the end of the week,
it's all gonna go away.

The grant is conditional
on my ability to staff the dig.

Ah.

Well, there's someone out there.

Oh, I have two choices, but

I just don't have a strong
feeling about either one.

Hmm, time to clear your head?

(LAUGHING) You know me so well.

- Camping?
- Day after tomorrow.

Figure a night under
the stars. Clear my head.

You know, when I was
younger, I wanted to camp

in every country on the map.

I've come pretty
close. How about you?

I never quite finished my
list before I moved here.

It's not too late.

Yeah.

(THEME MUSIC PLAYING)

(CRICKETS CHIRPING)

- Martha's on to you.
- What?

- The party.
- What happened?

It's not my fault.

Greg is proving to
be quite a challenge.

Greg?

I was trying to work out my
next move in my head and then,

Martha walked in

and I said something
I shouldn't have.

You like Greg enough
to be distracted by him?

I like that he's good looking.

Hmm.

This attraction that you feel, it
isn't only because he's not easily

surrendering to your charms?

No.

Well, we don't always
get what we want.

- I do.
- Hmm!

Well, I hope you
want what you get.

Don't worry about me, I
have Greg under control.

Um, here comes trouble.

(INSISTENT KNOCKING)

- Hi, Martha!
- So.

What's this I hear about
you hosting a party?

Celebrating something, are we?

I saw the flowers for the party,
lovely by the way, all my favorites!

They're not for you.

- Who then?
- John.

Who's John?

Uh, Jo... Uh...

He's a friend who's teaching
at the university this semester.

You're throwing him a party?

It's actually a
romantic dinner for two.

But please don't tell anyone.
Cassie wants to surprise John.

Oh! Well, of course!

So, it's a dinner. For John.

It would seem that way. Hmm!

Well, then I shall say nothing.

Except that I wish my husband
were as romantic as you are.

I am sure Tom will find some
way to mark your anniversary.

Aw, your faith in him is sweet,

but completely misguided.

Well, I think I put that
genie back in the bottle.

You're welcome.

Good night!

Everything was delicious.

Oh, I'm just glad
you enjoyed it.

You're quite the chef.

- Don't you agree?
- Absolutely.

But, I have to say that

Donna is really quite
the talented chef as well.

Thank you, honey.

Not as good as Bobby.

- Bobby.
- Who's that?

- Private chef.
- Private chef?

Jackson Hole.

He came with the
house that we rented.

Ever been heli-skiing?

- No.
- It'll change your life.

It was a real treat to come
home from a day of skiing

and have dinner waiting for you.

- Sounds amazing.
- It was.

Maybe next time we can all go.

- Yeah.
- That sounds fun!

Yeah.

Ha! (CHUCKLES)

- Maybe you should join a team.
- (BOTH CHUCKLE)

Hey, I was hoping
to get some help.

With your lay-up
or your jump shot?

- I have a guest who
is seeing apparitions.
- Ghosts?

Yes. Look, he's about to check
out and I'm worried about him.

You know I don't believe
in that kind of stuff.

Spirits are just energy
in an alternate form.

But I don't believe energy
comes back into human form.

Doesn't mean it couldn't happen.

So, you argue a negative.

Yes, but I'm positive about it.

(SCOFFS)

Our conversations
are never dull.

No, there's no one I like
disagreeing with more.

Well, that sounds more
psychological than physical.

But I could get him a referral.

I have a feeling you're
the person he needs to see.

Well, send your
guest by my office.

I'll see what I can do.

(TEXT ALERT)

Ugh, it's my realtor.

Oh, the lake house?

Yeah, unfortunately, I'm
not the only one who wants it.

I'm not sure I wanna
get in a bidding war.

Well, before I commit to anything,
I like to look at it from both sides.

Both sides?

- Yeah, there's pros and
cons to everything.
- That's true.

- When the pros outweigh
the cons.
- You commit?

If it's something
I really want, yes.

(CHUCKLES)

So, how's your
London essay going?

- I finished it.
- I thought you'd be happier.

The more I find out,
the less happy I get.

Okay, well let's hope that's not
the opening sentence to your essay!

You don't have to go, Nick.

Hi Cassie.

- Okay.
- Hey!

- Hi, mom!
- Hey.

- Oh!
- What?

You've cinnamon on your nose.

Nick! Not cool.

(LAUGHING) I must
have missed that.

- I should go home, so.
- Aw.

- Bye Cassie. Bye Grace.
- Bye Nick.

Bye.

I love cinnamon.

Ever since you were a baby.

Cinnamaldehyde, the main ingredient in
cinnamon and has great health benefits.

- And the sugar and butter?
- Oh. Those just taste good.

(CHUCKLES)

- You love baking.
- Yeah.

I mean, I love doing it but...

It's not like
cooking or baking is

my thing.

And you're looking
for that thing?

Yeah.

I mean, I love school
and my internship but...

But you want something else.

Did you ever feel
like this, mom?

- I was 16 once, too.
- So, what did you do?

Well, I discovered a long time ago
that focusing on other people's needs

brought me joy and
made me feel complete.

So, that is your thing.

That's one of my things, yeah.

- Hey!
- Hey, where are you
off to so early?

I had a patient admitted
to the hospital last night,

so I wanted to check on her.

Hmm, seems like there's one
other person to see at the hospital.

(CHUCKLES)

- Valerie is not giving up.
- And you?

This chief of staff job is
just too big of a commitment.

- I have to have time for Nick.
- Hmm.

What if the Hillcrest
job were different?

It doesn't work that way.

You'd have to turn the job they're
offering, into the job you want.

Jobs like that don't change
for you, you change for them.

I would just end up
bending to the job.

- Hmm. That's too bad!
- How so?

Well, the whole community would
benefit from having you run the hospital.

Look what you've
done for Middleton.

You've had quite an impact,
made such a difference.

I would like to
help more people,

but I just don't know
how, but thanks.

- Sure.
- See ya.

Mmm.

Mmm! Mmm-hmm!

- Delicious.
- (SIGHS)

That's what you said
about the orange chiffon,

the mocha praline and
the triple berry cheesecake.

They can't all be delicious.

I can't decide.
They're all good.

Hey, I talked to
my friend, Walter.

- Who's Walter?
- The friend looking to invest.

- He wants to meet with you.
- How do you know him, again?

We went to high school together,

but he's a broker at the
exchange in Chicago.

I don't know.

You could get a loan.

I'm still paying down
the loan on the bistro.

- The bank isn't an option.
- Then meet with Walter.

Come on. Help me help you
get your catering business going.

Catering? Is someone catering
a party I don't know about?

- BOTH: Uh...
- No.

Stephanie's been talking about
starting a catering business.

- Oh.
- I gotta get back to work.

- Thanks for the cake.
- Anytime!

When I heard catering,
first, I thought...

And then, I thought maybe you were
just talking about Cassie's dinner party.

- Cassie?
- But of course that's just a
romantic dinner for two, so.

Which I wasn't
supposed to mention.

Cassie's having
a romantic dinner?

- For John.
- The hunky archeologist?

She told me herself!

- Hey, John.
- Stephanie.

So, I take it you're
Cassie's John?

- Mayor Martha Tinsdale.
- Nice to meet you.

Hey, can I put in an early
lunch order for tomorrow.

- Ah!
- Tomorrow.

Yeah. I figure, why eat freeze
dried food when I'm camping,

when I can enjoy one of
Steph's lunch baskets, right?

- You can't go away tomorrow.
- Why?

Cassie's planning
a surprise for you.

Like a party?

Not really a party,
more like a dinner.

Stephanie shouldn't
have told you.

But Cassie knows I'm
headed out of town tomorrow.

- She does?
- Yeah, I told her yesterday.

Then, how can she be planning
a surprise dinner for you?

That's a good question!

Hi there.

- Hi! You saved me a trip.
- Did I?

I was heading to your office.

I've spoken with the powers that be and
they are ready to make an official offer.

- I'm listening.
- Great.

So, just tell me what it
will take to close the deal.

I need

complete autonomy over my schedule
to take care of my practice and my son.

You know you'll be responsible

for directing and operating
the entire hospital,

supervising the medical staff, funding,
clinical trials, that's a full-time job.

I can't give you all my time.

You don't make
this easy, do you?

Having time for my
family and my practice,

those are non-negotiable.

Well, I know you're worth it.

But...

I don't know if I can
sell that to the board.

- Hi, mom.
- Hi!

- Pumpkin spiced chai.
- Thank you.

I had a feeling you
could use a pick-me-up.

Your feeling was right.

Something tells me that you
could use a pick-me-up as well.

I'm just trying to figure out
a way to take your advice.

- Oh! To help someone?
- Yes.

Hmm. Well, the act of
reaching out is a good start.

Every beginning has
to start somewhere.

Cheers. Oh!

No, no, no! This
is my favorite shirt.

You know, we should get
that stain out before it sets.

I can't. I have
school in 20 minutes.

Here.

I got a bunch of
these vintage tees in.

I love it. Thanks.

Sure.

- I'm not speaking to you.
- But you are.

- Just to tell you
that I'm not.
- Stephanie.

How is it that I didn't know
when I called it from the start?

What are you talking about?

You're throwing a
romantic dinner for John

and I have to hear
about it from Martha?

And what about Martha's party?

It's a big event.
I need you there.

You can't just
sneak off with John!

No, I'm not having
dinner with John.

Abigail slipped, Martha almost
found out about her party.

Oh, it's a cover.

Makes sense.

- I forgive you.
- Oh, thanks!

Does John know it's a cover?

John doesn't know
about any of this.

John knows about this?

On the bright side.

- There's a bright side?
- Abigail messed up, not me.

I told you I could
keep a secret and I did.

But you told John
about the dinner.

Yeah. But that's not a
real thing, the dinner.

So it doesn't count.

You didn't know
that at the time.

Okay, let's not confuse
me with the details and facts.

Okay. Anyway, Ben was
in, working on my shelf.

And he told you about
the catering business?

Uh-huh!

He knows someone who
may be interested in investing.

But you're not sold on the idea.

I'm not.

Would you mind
taking this to Abigail?

She wants to sell my candles in her
store, and my shop is too busy to leave.

Sure, it's on my way
back to the bistro.

That's one path I
know my way to.

What do you think?

Perfect.

I got a text about a flower
arrangement to pick up, but

I didn't order anything.

You didn't?

Well, now that you're here, maybe
you'd like to tell me what your problem is?

I have a problem?

Well, we don't
have a second date.

- And that's a problem?
- For you it is.

But not for you?

I can go off and get a
second date with anybody.

So could I.

But your second date
wouldn't include me,

and that would be a loss.

But it seems as if the universe
has, through some clerical error,

given you a chance
to right your wrongs.

(CLEARS THROAT) I
don't do the girlfriend thing.

What makes you
think that I want that?

My past experience.

What do you say we get together
tomorrow and discuss this?

Oh, sorry, I'm booked.

I'm donating flowers to
an event tomorrow night.

That's very generous.

I'm a giver.

How about I help
you with your order

and then we can grab some food.

Is it a date?

Well, I suppose I could
give you one more chance.

(LAUGHING) Well,
you are a giver.

I don't know how
you got me here.

Deep down, you know
this is where you need to be.

Last night, I...

You saw the same ghost?

No, it was my sister this time.

As clear as day,
just standing there.

- She was so real.
- Your sister passed away?

He's going to think I'm crazy.

I'm kind of tired
of seeing doctors.

I'll try not to take that
last comment personally.

Dan, this is Dr. Radford.

You've seen a lot
of doctors lately?

Because of my family history,
I just had an angiograph.

Oh, everything okay?

Turns out it was just a glitch
on my EKG, my heart is fine.

That's good news.

No offense, but it's not
me who has the problem,

it's Grey House. It's haunted.

Well, if you have
an internal infection,

and you're spiking a fever, that
alone would explain your symptoms.

Why don't we just do a
check-up, rule some things out?

- All right,
you can do an exam.
- Great.

I'll pick you up later.
You're in great hands.

- Eve.
- Let's get you set up.

So tell me, how is
it going with the list?

- The list?
- Yeah, the lake house?

Oh, well the pros and
cons are about the same.

Hmm, so they're even.

Yeah, there are as many reasons to
want to buy it as there are to walk away.

But you haven't walked away.

No, there's still time
to put in an offer.

So, maybe there's a
reason that you haven't made

a written offer on the house?

I'm glad you could join me.

Yes!

And what a celebratory
lunch this was.

- (PHONE RINGING)
- Oh!

Ah!

This is work.

Just give me a minute. Here.

For the bill.

Hello?

Mmm-hmm.

Terrific. I gotta go, bye.

- Hmm!
- Ahem!

Thank you.

So, have you seen Cassie lately?

No, why do you ask?

No reason. Just
making conversation.

This is really good!

It's not "private chef" good.

You're kidding, right?

You're not kidding?

Donna and Chad
have such a great life!

We have a great life.

Well, not "heli-skiing in Jackson
Hole with a private chef" great.

We don't need a private
chef and you hate skiing.

- It's just...
- What?

They're so perfect.

They have a successful business,
they go traveling all the time,

- they have a summer house.
- So?

It just makes me feel like

an underachiever.

Tara, you're
working on your PhD,

you are hardly an underachiever.

(SIGHS)

What is it?

That's just it.

I left the program.

- You quit grad school?
- I don't want to get my PhD.

I officially withdrew last week.

- Hi.
- John!

What can I do for you?

I heard through the grapevine
that you were throwing

a surprise dinner
for the two us.

Sounds like fun.

Um...

The dinner for us, it's a ruse

so Martha doesn't find out about
her surprise anniversary party.

(CHUCKLING) Okay.
That makes sense. Kind of.

Oh! Well, Martha is
a bit of a bloodhound,

so everyone has had
to go to great lengths.

Well, now that I know my
schedule is free, I'll be on my way.

You should come to the party.

Yeah, it would be a great way
for you to meet new people in town.

I need to make a decision on
that field supervisor position.

- I can't do that at a party.
- I understand.

- You're so close.
- Yeah.

Well, uh, if you
run into Martha...

As far as she knows, we're on a
fake date for dinner at Grey House.

Thanks.

Happy to help.

Uh, can you proof
my London essay?

- Yeah!
- Thanks. Man, it took forever.

- You struggled with it?
- Uh...

Or are you struggling
with something new?

It's just that, as part of the
application, I have to sign a contract.

What?

Unless I have a "dire
medical emergency,"

I have to stay and
finish out the program.

Yeah.

Once I get there,
there's no coming back.

They aren't going to force
you to stay if you don't want to.

But if I leave before it's over,

then everyone, including my
dad, will know I couldn't hack it.

Anyway, can you please
just proof the essay?

Nick, I'm on it.

- Thanks, Grace.
- Yeah!

That's the globe.

Excuse me?

Your t-shirt, that's the
globe theater in London.

I didn't know.

My mom just gave it to
me. You've been there?

- I have.
- You've been to London?

Lived there. My mom is
American, but my dad is English.

That is so cool!

Wait, you and I
have biology together.

Not for much longer, I
think. I failed the last quiz.

- I'm sorry.
- Not half as sorry as my dad!

He's a big time surgeon.

I could help.

You don't have to
be nice to the new kid.

No, no, I want to help.

It's possible I'm a lost cause.

Trust me, I've got this!

Then I'm glad I found you.

(DOOR CHIMES)

Ah-ha! I have proof!

Hello, Martha!

I asked Tom if he
had seen you recently.

He said no.

He's lying, and this
receipt proves it.

Now, I demand that you tell me
the truth about my anniversary.

Please, it's making
me crazy not to know.

The truth is something
you don't want to hear.

I knew it.

I think you should focus less
on what Tom is doing for you

and think about what
you can do for Tom.

But, romance is his job.

It's always been his job.

Well then, he'd be really
surprised if you did something.

He would be.

He'd be embarrassed.

I'm going to find him the most

heartfelt, romantic
present ever.

He will have done
nothing for me.

He will feel awful
and I'll feel vindicated.

It's not a party, but
it will have to do.

- Martha, that's not my point.
- Well, it is my point.

Please, Cassie, I need a gift.

A perfect gift.

The traditional gift for the
30th anniversary is pearl.

Pearl?

You want me to get Tom a string of
pearls, like I wore on my wedding day?

It's your gift, you have to decide
how best to express your feelings.

(SCOFFS) Pearl! As if.

You know, I think the
fumes from all these candles

are finally getting to you,
Miss Cassie Nightingale.

MARTHA: Pearl, ha!

Oh, you're still up?

I waited.

- I know you're angry.
- Confused.

Why didn't you tell
me about grad school?

I guess I was afraid that you
would think I was making a mistake,

and you'd try to
talk me out of it.

But, this is what I really want.

Then, it's what I want.

Really?

I don't want you to do
anything that you don't love.

(SIGHING) I just, I
feel like such a failure.

You're not.

I bet Donna would
never have quit.

Hey, you can't compare
yourself to her or anybody else.

She's just so perfect.

To me. You're perfect.

I love you.

But going forward, we don't keep
anything from each other, okay?

Promise?

- This number has to be wrong.
- It isn't.

That's the rent?

It's a steal.

The landlord just wants
a good, long-term tenant.

- And all the kitchen
equipment?
- Comes with.

So, I won't have to
build up from scratch.

If you're serious about starting a
catering business, this is the place.

Rent's low, fully loaded.
Close to the bistro.

(SIGHING)

Can I come back and see
the space again tomorrow?

Oh, sure. Do you need to show
it to the bank or an investor?

I can coordinate.

What?

Your financing, who's
your partner in this?

(SIGHS)

So, in cellular respiration,
all of the carbons

of glucose are actually
converted into carbon dioxide.

Okay, I get that.
I finally get that.

(CHUCKLING), You know,
we should be lab partners.

That would be awesome.

Yeah, I'll talk to
Mr. Rock. He's cool.

I just wish I could
do something for you.

Oh, stop.

- Ah! Hey, mom!
- Oh, hey!

- This is my friend Katie.
- It's nice to meet you.

It's nice to meet
you too, Mrs. Russell.

Call me Cassie.

I love that T-shirt of Grace's.

Yes, and Katie is from London.

- Ah!
- (PHONE RINGING)

Oh, that's my dad, excuse me.

- Mom?
- Yeah?

Can Katie come to
Martha's party with us?

Of course.

Cool.

So, I won't be needing your
help with the flowers later.

Ah.

Really?

I've got it covered.

I'm switching cars with Brandon.

- Still, it's a lot to load up.
- I think she has some help.

Well, thank you Greg.

- So you have what you want.
- Did you ever doubt me?

No.

SAM: (KNOCKING) Hey there.

Sam, hey! Come on in.

So, I heard from Dan that all
his tests came back negative.

Yeah, his physical checked
out completely normal.

No fever, no infection no apparent
complications from the angiograph,

but I still think something's
wrong with him physically.

Well, he said the ghost is
now in the image of his sister.

- His sister passed away?
- Yeah, but he swears
it was her.

He said the image was
real, clear, very lifelike.

It's like his brain is trying
to tell him something.

- Yeah, or us.
- Brain.

Wait, you said it was clear.

Very lifelike, this image
of his sister, the ghost?

- Yeah, that's what he said.
- I'll call ahead.

- I think Dan needs an MRI.
- Really?

- It's the only way we'll know.
- Know what?

If my hunch is right.

Well, your MRI did detect
minimal damage to the midbrain.

I think you might be suffering
from peduncular hallucinosis.

It's a rare condition that causes
extremely lifelike hallucinations.

But, it's not as
bad as it sounds.

- What causes it?
- Well, in very rare instances,

an angiograph
procedure can cause

a small clot to dislodge
and lead to a tiny lesion

in your brain and that's what
triggers the hallucinations.

I don't know what to say.

I do. It can be successfully
treated with drug therapy.

I've already contacted
one of the top neurologists

in Chicago and he's agreed
to see you for a treatment plan.

Thank you, Dr. Radford.

Glad I could help.

And I live right next
door to Grey House,

if you have any questions or
need to talk before you leave.

I'll be tracking your
treatment and your progress.

It's out of sight, is not
out of mind with me.

Okay? And of course,

they'll have some forms
they want you to fill out.

- Thank you.
- We'll be right back.

(SIGHING)

My guy in Chicago?
The best, seriously.

Yeah, maybe not the best.

- Sam!
- Hey!

- Valerie Hanson.
- Cassie Nightingale.

- Nice to meet you.
- You as well.

I'm gonna go check
on Dan. Excuse me.

Are you admitting a patient?

Actually, solving a mystery.

Peduncular hallucinosis.
It's a rare illness.

It's about one in 300 million.

And we have a case of it here?

Middleton. I brought
him in for an MRI.

1 in 300 million?

I have a good friend in New
York, who is a neurosurgeon

and we were both at the hospital
there and we had a similar patient.

But, that person ended
up suffering from psychosis,

it was mental, not physical.

So, that's what made
you think of this, or...

No, not really, but once
I lock onto something,

it's not in my nature to let go.

Well, lucky for the patient.

My colleague in Chicago
wants to do a paper, research.

What do you want?

I want my patient to get better.

Now he will.

Hmm.

Oh.

CHRIS: True story, I swear.

Wow. That's a long story
about you and a shark.

- I love surfing.
- I was...

- Only big waves, though.
- Well, I...

Have you ever been surfing?

You know, it's not the same,

as when you're towed
out to 30 foot wave.

It's...

Well not a lot of
people have done it.

- Not that I'm bragging but...
- I think...

I think what's great
about it is that it forces you

to see your place
in the universe.

It's very zen.

You meditate?

Yeah, I once went on
this spiritual retreat in India.

It was amazing.

Got me to stop
focusing on myself.

- You don't say!
- It blew my mind.

I know the feeling.

I just realized I have
been talking about myself,

since we got into
the car, haven't I?

Enough about me.

But, I really want you to see
the photos from over there.

Of surfing or zen-ing?

Oh, that's a great one.

Yeah, that is a great picture
of you and a girl in a bikini!

That's my girlfriend. Ex.

She was something else, though.

You don't say.

(SIGHING) Thanks for helping.

- You know I'm here for you.
- I do, and

I found a space.

The space you
showed me that day.

That's great!
I'll tell my friend!

You're going to really like him.

I probably would.

But, um,

I'm going to invest in myself.

Oh! How?

I ran the numbers
and I can do it.

If I keep the costs low and with
the cheaper rent, I can. It'll work!

And I'll reinvest the
profits from the bistro

into the catering business, until the
catering business can stand on its own.

What do you think?

- I like it.
- I love it!

I love you when
you're like this.

(PHONE RINGING)

- Thomas from the glass shop.
- Yeah.

Hey, Thomas.

I still don't understand
what's going on.

- Tom will explain.
- Tom?

Mmm-hmm!

In the name of all that is holy,

where are you taking me?

- ALL: Surprise!
- (GASPING)

Happy anniversary!

I can't believe that
Tom kept this from me.

That you all kept this from me.

- ALL: Cheers!
- (APPLAUSE)

Tom.

All this, it's
just... It's perfect.

It was the only way
to make it a surprise.

This looks just like where
we had our wedding reception.

It's the perfect place
for you and Tom.

- You got me something.
- Well...

Pearls are for your
30th anniversary.

CASSIE: What a
beautiful pearl frame.

TOM: I love it.

Excuse me.

Thank you.

Hi! I just booked a wedding.

Oh! Sounds like you are
in the catering business?

I am and I found
the perfect spot.

I found it a few days ago
with Ben, but I wasn't ready

to consider starting a business.

But in the light of day...

Something's wrong?

Or right. Or...

I don't know.

I think Ben may have
told me he loved me.

Thanks for inviting us.

And whoever did
the food, really tasty.

- Stephanie.
- She runs the bistro.

Maybe I can get her number.

Oh, for the office party?

No, I was thinking we would
have a big party for mom's birthday.

They're in Florida.

Actually, um, they're coming
to stay with us for the summer.

Excuse me.

He and my mom don't get along.

I should go find him.

Well, no couple is perfect.

Not even the Bryants.

Abigail. Where's Greg?

I sent him to get drinks.

- I needed a break.
- A break?

Okay, you were right.

He's totally wrong for me.

Sometimes, the chase is more
exciting than the object of the chase.

All he does is
talk about himself.

You can't imagine.

Well, if you'll excuse me I
have to go fake a migraine.

Mom!

Honey, hey.

Well, it seems like Nick
and Katie are hitting it off.

Yes.

I have a feeling Katie is
going to help Nick with London.

- Feels good to help?
- It feels great.

- Oh, yeah. Be right back, okay?
- Okay.

- This is a great party.
- John!

- I changed my mind.
- I'm glad you did!

Thank you. It was
nice of you to invite me.

Did you finally decide
on your field supervisor?

No camping necessary.

But I'm not sure they're
gonna take the job.

(LAUGHING) It's the
opportunity of a lifetime!

That's true, it is. And
I'm offering it to you.

- Me?
- We've both been
over hundreds of resumes

and there is no one better
fit for the job than you.

Um, I have, uh,
responsibilities.

Grace, my store. Grey House.

Every obstacle has a solution.

You taught me that.

And if it's something
you want to do,

and I think you do, I
know you can find a way.

We can find a way.

I don't think I...

Cassie, Grace can come
with you. We'll figure it out.

Don't think.

And don't dismiss
it out of hand. Just...

Sleep on it.

- Oh!
- Cheers!

What are we toasting to?

- I got the lake house.
- You won the bidding war?

Yeah, and not with
the highest price.

The list of pros and cons
turned into a letter to the seller.

Hmm! Must have been
a really good letter.

Well, I told him how the house
would give me an opportunity

rarely afforded to parents,
to make up for lost time.

- And he was swayed.
- Well, he's a father too.

It's a good thing you
shared your story.

If I hadn't made that list, I would
never have written the letter.

And if I hadn't met you, I wouldn't
have done either of those things.

It's a good thing we met.

Kind of a game changer.

Maybe for both of us.

And...

Another toast!

The hospital board
accepted all my terms.

I'm the new chief
of staff at Hillcrest.

(LAUGHS) Congratulations!

What big news!

Thanks. I did not think
they would let me share

the job responsibilities
with another doctor.

But they did.

It was the only way I'd say yes.

I get to keep my practice
here, and spend time with Nick.

I've grown pretty fond of
my life here in Middleton.

And I have to say,

diagnosing your guest
probably did something to

push the board
to give me the job.

The way I wanted it.

You are going to
help a lot of people.

You're a good man
and a great doctor.

Your opinion really
matters to me.

Really?

Yeah, ever since I met you.

John just asked me
to join him on his dig.

- In the Maldives?
- Yeah.

He wants me to be
his field supervisor.
