Good Witch (2015–…): Season 4, Episode 1 - With This Ring - full transcript
Cassie gives those around her pieces of jewelry that magically turn out to be just thing each needed; Abigail helps Sam search for the perfect engagement ring for Cassie -- a legendary Merriwick heirloom thought to be lost forever.
- Previously on Good Witch.
Looks like you could use help.
- The realtor gave us the
wrong combination. Tried it about
a dozen times, it won't open.
- Maybe 13's the charm.
Give it a try. 13's been
a very lucky number for me.
- This was my dad's coat.
Forgot I ever put this in there.
- That was your father's?
- Yeah. And when he wasn't
wearing it,
I would put it on and run around the house
pretending it was a fancy gown or a cape.
- I just want to make sure Ben
knows how extra-special he is to me.
- As long as we're
together tomorrow,
then that is perfect for me.
- I mean forever, Cassie.
Will you marry me?
- Yes.
- Courtney needs to know that
you want to break up with her!
- Nick, is that true? Are
you breaking up with me?
- Now, we need to
tell Nick and Grace.
- How could you say that knowing
Courtney was standing there?
- What's going on?
- I guess negotiating the rules of this
engagement might be harder than we thought.
- That gave you second thoughts?
- No second thoughts at all.
I guess we should put a ring on that
finger, so everybody knows it's for real.
- Well then, I'll keep this
space open just for you.

- Morning. Got some
yogurt and granola
next to the eggs.
Ah, you can help
yourself too, Sam.
- Good morning.
- Morning.
- You know, I'll be glad
when we're finally married
so I can stop sneaking over
here and pretending to be a guest
just to snag breakfast.
- Right. You can help me
make it instead.
- What? I didn't know
that was part of the deal.
- Well then, we're gonna
have to renegotiate.
- As soon as I find the right ring
for you, we'll make this official.
- Tell our kids.
- Tell us what?
- Just... You know, We
were just talking about...
- Work. Doctor stuff.
- Uhhh... huh.
- Nick should be ready to go
to school in a minute if you want
to wait up.
- Hmm...
Actually, I have to...
leave... right now, so...
- Hmm...
- How long do you think our
kids can go without getting along?
- I don't know which one
of them is more stubborn.
- Good question. Is stubborn
passed down by the parents?
- It definitely is.
- Well, in that case,
the answer is both of them.
♪♪♪
- Mix the vanilla rooibos
in with some black tea
from Sri Lanka and
give it a hint of caramel.
I think you'll love it.
- Thank you.
- Enjoy. Good morning!
- It isn't yet, but I'm
hoping it will become one.
- Martha is on
one of her quests.
- I want to declare
a new location
as Middleton's most romantic
spot. Now I now we have Grey House
and the Botanical
Gardens, but I'm looking
for somewhere new to
add to that exclusive list.
- I don't think that you can
just decide a place is romantic.
I think it has to
earn that for itself.
- Yes, but we have a
new tourism brochure
being printed next week,
so romance is on
a bit of a deadline.
- If I think of anything
new, I will let you know.
Where are you two
off to this morning?
- Hoping to get a few minutes
of alone time with the Mayor.
- Except I'm drowning
in requests. I'm hearing
a presentation by city council
at 10, and then I have to listen
to a proposal on new road signs.
- Well, I hope you get some
time to stop and smell the roses,
or hear the bird sing.
- Oh, please!
Who has time for birds and
roses? I have a city to run.
Oooh! What's that?
- Oh! Well, this is just
something I was gonna
take over to Don Pryce
at Pryceless Jewels, see if
there's anything here he wants.
- Those look nice.
- Yeah, I picked these up
a few years ago in Andorra.
- Oooh...
- Those would look nice on you.
- If my husband has an opinion
on jewelry, they must be good.
- Aw... Well, go
ahead, try them on.
- Oh! I suppose I might as well.
Now...
let's see.
Ooh! Yeah, he's right:
they do look good on you.
- Perhaps I should listen
to him more often. Haha!
You know, I have a moment to
sit down and have a quick chat,
if there's something
you'd really wanted to say.
- I'd like that if we could.
- Ah, but I probably shouldn't
wear something
this dangly all day.
City council will accuse
me of taking advantage
of my feminine wiles.
- I could take you out
for coffee if you'd like.
- What?
Oh, I'm sorry. That's
gonna have to wait.
I'm sure I already have
a whole lineup of people
outside my office just
waiting to talk my ear off.
Pay the woman for the
jewelry, would you, dear?
- Oh, I was getting rid
of those anyway, you
can just keep them.
I hope you enjoy those
earrings as much as your wife.
Thank you, Cassie.
♪♪♪
- Sam! Where are you headed?
- Back from lunch. You?
- Oh, I was just
gonna drop this off
to a jeweler friend of mine.
- Oh, well, I've got
a few minutes, I could
go there with you?
- Well, you're in luck
because we're right here.
Thanks.
- Cassie!
- Hello, Don!
Have you met Sam Radford?
- I don't think I have.
- I've never actually
been in here before.
- Well, don't get too used to being
here because I'm closing the place down.
- What?!
- Yeah.
Going to finally retire.
I poured so much of my
life into the jewelry business
that I never had
time for anything else.
So, I thought I'd slow
down and just see
what the rest of my
years have to offer.
- When's your last day?
- Just as soon as I can sell
off the rest of this merchandise.
- Well, I guess you won't
be wanting to add to it.
- Hahaha! I'm afraid not.
Oh, but, uh...
do you have any use
for extra display cases
at your store? Or
maybe something
for your countertops?
Everything must go.
- You know, there might be
something in here that I want.
- Well, take a
look. Help yourself.
- Thank you.
- I have some wonderful
engagement rings
in case you happen
to be in the market.
- How did you know that Cassie
and I were getting married?
- I can tell just by looking.
Any couple that comes
through that door.
- You know, I might
want to come back
and talk to you some
time when she's not here.
- To surprise her. That's nice.
- Easier said than done.
- See anything you like?
- Yeah,
there might be some
things I'll take off your hands.
- Good!
- What were you talking about?
- I was just congratulating Don
on what seems to
be a great business.
- It's been nice to bring so
much happiness to people's lives.
- Oh yeah, I can
imagine there are
a lot of different stories that
have come into this place.
- Lifetime of memories.
- Oh, I gotta be back to
work. Nice to meet you,
finally see inside the place.
- Come back anytime.
- And I'll see you tonight.
- That young man
is gonna make a
fine-looking groom.
- Yes, he will.
For sure.
♪♪♪
Hello!
- Good morning!
- Morning.
- Hey.
- Ooh, what's this?
- Hmm... I was gonna take that
to a jeweler friend,
but he's closing down.
You can take something if
you see anything you like.
♪♪♪- Oh.
Hey, I like this.
Yeah, and maybe it will
inspire me to give
a better performance
during drama class today.
- "All the world's a stage."
Are you OK?
- Uh...
I don't know, I
was just... thinking.
"Polluted though I
am, none shall suffer
for my crimes, but I alone." ♪♪♪
And that was a part of
my monologue for today.
So I guess this pin
is working already.
- You see something
that looks good?
- Maybe...
There's someone I know who
seems to be going through a lot;
I wonder how this
would look on her.
- Hmm.. You know,
the first appearance
of that heart was on
currency in the Greek city
of Cyrene.
- Is that where you got this?
- No. I got that at a
craft fair in Blairsville.
- Oh! So not quite exotic.
- Well, it was
exotic for Blairsville.
Good morning! Did
you enjoy your rooms?
♪♪♪
- Oh my!
Oh! Stephanie, I just love
- what you've done to this place!
- Looks good, right?
I just felt it was time
to make some changes.
- It's perfect timing. Out with
the old and in with the better!
Just like our new most
romantic spot in Middleton.
- Ooh, where is that gonna be?
- I don't know,
that's what I came to ask
you. Where do you and Ben go
when you want to gaze
into each other's eyes
and whisper sweet nothings?
- You know, I don't know.
But there is a beautiful
spot out on the lawn
where they take pictures
during wedding receptions.
- Which means
that it's photogenic
and would look good in
a brochure. Spruce it up
so it's looking its best,
and I'll put it in the running!
- Great! ♪♪♪
- Stephanie, I brought
something for you.
It's from Cassie actually.
- So you're giving me gifts now?
- I just thought it'd look
good on you, that's all.
Thanks.
- Aren't you going to put it on?
- Hmm... not right now.
I just don't want it
dangling into the food
or anything, so... Maybe later.
- Hi, Sam.
- What? Oh! Hello.
- Where are you headed?
- I told a guy I would
meet him at a place.
♪♪♪- Is something going on?
- No.
- You do realize
you're speaking to a Merriwick?
- Right. I'm going
to the jewelry store
to try to find an
engagement ring for Cassie.
- You're gonna ask
her to marry you?
- I already did, but we
don't anybody to know
until we tell Nick and
Grace, so don't say a word.
- Have I ever shared
anyone's secrets?
- Ha!
- I mean accidentally.
- Oh. Just keep it to yourself.
- What kind of ring
are you gonna get?
- I have no idea.
- Then I'm coming with you.
- I'm a big boy, I
can do this myself.
- And I'm a girl who knows
exactly what her cousin likes.
- Fine.
You can come with me.
- This is gonna be so much fun!
- Don't think I've ever seen
you so excited about anything.
- It's because I get
to think about making
a lifelong commitment
without actually having to make
a lifelong commitment.
- Ah!
- What style of ring
do you think she'd like?
- Not sure exactly. I'm
hoping I'll know it when I see it.
- Well, I have all sorts
of cuts and clarities,
new and vintage.
- He'd like to see them all.
- I would, actually.
Yeah, this is nice.
- Where?!
Sam...
my face is pretty much on it,
and I can't even see the stone.
You're gonna have to get
something way fancier than that.
- I have larger diamonds
over there in that case.
Oh! He'll be over there then!
- Yes, ma'am.
- Huh! ♪♪♪
This is kind of pretty.
- I've always thought so.
- Does it open?
- No.
A woman brought it in a
few years ago to be fixed.
We sort of hit it off, but
I never got her name.
I kept hoping that
she would come back
so we could pick up where
we left off, but she never did.
And I cannot get
that thing to work.
- Is it on sale?
- Everything is on sale.
- Well, I've been one
to turn down a bargain.
- See anything you like?
- Not really.
But that might be
because I'm blinded
by the size of these rocks.
- You know, I've known
Cassie for a long time, and
she's more into classic look.
I have a collection
of vintage rings.
- Oh, show me what you got.
- Sam, you don't want
to put something old
and used on your
fiancée's finger, do you?
- I'm hoping to find something
that fits more
with who Cassie is.
- Here we go.
♪♪♪- Hmmm...
Well, what's this?
- I don't know how that got
in there. I'm sorry,
um, that's not for sale.
- It's really interesting.
- Where did you get that?
- In an estate sale
here in Middleton.
It was the first thing I bought,
it got me started in
the jewelry business,
which is why it's the one thing
I wanna keep when I'm done.
It's a gimmel ring...
from around the Renaissance.
There might be a piece
missing that makes it
all fit together, but I've never
been able to figure it out.
♪♪♪Still,
I want to keep it to remember.
But you came here
for what you want.
- I did, but nothing's
jumping out.
- Why don't I go through
the rest of my collection
and find some other
options for you to look at.
- That would be great. Thanks.
- Oh, thank you.
- What did you buy?
- Just this locket.
- What's inside?
- I don't know, but I kind
of like the mystery of it.
Plus, I saved 60%.
- Congratulations.
♪♪♪- Goodbye!
- Bye!
- Thank you.
- Have a great day.
How big do you want
these carrots cut?
- I don't know. About
the size of cut-up carrots?
- OK, but you want 'em
diced or sliced or chopped?
- Does it really make
that much difference?
- Yeah. Depends
on what you're making.
- Thought we're making carrots.
Hey, I was right!
- Hahahaha.
Oh, hey, Nick!
- Hi!
Uh, can I take the
car over to Jeremy's?
- Oh, yeah sure.
They keys are...
What if I'd said no?
- I was gonna throw
the keys in the bushes.
- Uh-huh. Be back at 10.
- 10:30.
9:45!
- It's so strange not having
Nick come over to see Grace.
- I know. What are they
fighting about anyway?
- Well, whatever it is,
it's not getting any better,
so I think we need
to talk to them.
- Well, yeah. Otherwise,
at our wedding when
they get to that part
where they ask us,
"Anyone know why this man and woman should
not be wed" our kids are gonna stand up
and go, "I've got something,"
and then "No, me first."
- OK, I will speak to Grace.
- And I'll sit down with Nick.
- Hey, Dad?
- Yeah?
- All your stuff in the back
of the car, do you need it?
- Uh, yeah. Yeah,
I'll get it out. Thanks.
I'll just be a minute.
- Did I hear Sam down here?
- Oh yeah, he'll be right back.
- Good. We have a minute.
OK, I probably
shouldn't tell you this,
but I helped him go
ring shopping today.
- He told you we were engaged?
- Please, I figured it
out with one guess.
But I want to make
sure he gets you exactly
the ring that you want. So
what kind of ring do you want?
- Well...
there is a certain ring that
I've always sort of wanted.
It was passed down through all
the Merriwicks for hundreds of years.
- A Merriwick ring? I never
knew anything about that.
- Yeah. It's said to
be kind of magical.
It's supposed to bring
everlasting marriage
full of happiness to
any bride who wears it.
- Well, where is it?
- Nobody knows.
Lost to the ages. Might have been
accidentally sold at an estate sale.
But the way it was
described to me,
it is just beautiful.
It's an interlocking gimmel ring
with three pieces,
with the delicate
diamond loops on either
side and a larger diamond
in the middle that
holds it all together.
♪♪♪- Wow, that would be
pretty amazing if
anybody found that.
- Yeah. Really, it would be
something any Merriwick
woman would want.
- I couldn't understand why.
♪♪♪
- Hey, got a minute?
- Sure! What's going on?
- Well, um, I just wanted
to talk to you about Nick.
- Ooh!
- I don't really have
that much to say.
I just decided I didn't want to
hang out with her anymore, OK?
- All because you got in a fight
over how you broke up with Courtney?
- It's not just about all that.
- He never thinks
about people's feelings,
and he doesn't take
life seriously, at all.
- All she does is tell me
how I should be doing things
and the way I should
be living my life.
- You need to think of what
Nick was going through.
Courtney was the first
girl he ever broke up with.
- Except he took
forever to do it.
And I was stuck having to
pretend like everything was fine
when it wasn't.
- Well,
couldn't have been easy
for Grace, being stuck
in the middle of that.
- The only reason she was
in the middle of it is
because she put herself there.
- Maybe Nick and
I have just kind of
moved on from being friends.
- And Grace... isn't somebody
I get along with anymore.
- So I guess
he and I are sort of done.
I'm sorry, but that's
just the way it is.
♪♪♪
- Hello, Martha.
- Oh! Abigail!
Good! Does this setting put you
in the mood for romance?
- I guess it would depend
on who I was here with.
- I want to benefit
our tourist trade,
so I'm looking for a new place to
name Middleton's most romantic spot,
and I think this
might fit the bill.
There used to be
a gazebo right here
where some of the earliest
Middleton marriages took place.
So I'm thinking of
putting up another
and then watching
the money just pour in.
- That would be
good for business.
- Aww, it's Tom.
He's been trying to get
ahold of me all morning.
- Aren't you gonna answer it?
- I wish that I could,
but I'm on such a mission I
simply don't have the time.
Now you let me
know if you happen
to stumble across a place
that just screams romance,
hmm?
- I definitely will.
- Tata! ♪♪♪
- So I've talked with Nick
last night.
- And I spent time with Grace.
I think I get what's going on
between them, and I have to say,
I don't blame Grace
for keeping her distance.
- Nick shouldn't feel he has
to live up to her standards.
- Oh, but he didn't do right by
Courtney. And he does need
to start thinking about
somebody other than himself.
- Yeah, well, that doesn't
mean that he has to do
things exactly the way my
daughter says he should.
- Well, I'd be fine if Nick thought
about life as seriously as she does.
- And I wouldn't mind
if Grace showed people
a little more grace.
- Either way, they're
not getting along.
And I don't know when
they're gonna start.
- Well, maybe we should lay back
and just trust that they
will work things out.
- Or forever hold your peace.
I've got to go. I've got to
do stops on my way to work.
- Ooh, what are you doing?
- I've been thinking
about something that you don't
really need to know about right now.
- Which makes me
wonder even more what it is.
- It's killing you, isn't it?
- Nick!
- Hey, uh...
I was just getting
something to eat.
- Yeah, sure.
- Yep.
- Ummm... I'm
gonna skip the coffee,
but you guys go on without
me. I'll meet you at school?
- OK, sure.
- Bye.
- Oh! Hey, Grace!
- Hey, Stephanie!
Why are you gardening?
- Oh, it's for the Mayor.
She's looking for the new
most romantic spot in Middleton.
I already planted a few flowers,
but I was just trimming
some things back
so that everything looks
like it really pops, you know?
Yeah.
Oh! OK, you dropped something.
♪♪♪- Oh!
- Did Abigail give this to you?
- Yeah, and I think she
got it from your mom.
- You know... you
should put it on.
- Oh, I just, uh...
I didn't really...
didn't really want it getting in
the way while I was working.
- Oh, it won't. There you go.
- Thanks!
You're sure it looks OK?
- Oh, it looks great.
- You know what?
I don't know if I
really wanna be
a part of the Bistro
being declared
some sort of Middleton
romantic landmark.
- But... I mean, it looks
kind of pretty back there.
I could see couples
standing there taking pictures.
It's just a fountain
and some flowers
next to a fence.
♪♪♪
- You're back sooner
than I thought you'd be.
- Yeah, I was thinking about
the ring that you had. You know,
the two pieces hooked together?
- The gimmel ring.
- Yeah. Um, I just can't
get it out of my mind.
I figured I could have a
piece made to go in the middle.
- Except, uh...
- I remember you said
you wouldn't sell it,
but I think it's something
Cassie would really love and...
I was hoping we might
be able to make a deal.
- Somebody already did.
I don't have it anymore.
- What?!
- Well, they came in here
and they really wanted it, so...
- You said it was priceless.
- I happened to
get the right price.
- So it's just gone?
- I'm sorry, Sam.
♪♪♪
♪♪♪
♪♪♪
- But how long have
they been there?
Yes, all right. I'll
come by and see.
I don't know! Somebody who
knows how to wrangle chickens!
- Hello!
- Cassie.
- Solving another local crisis?
- The city never sleeps.
- She's been on that thing
all day. I've been following
her around waiting my turn.
- Hmm...
Martha, have you worn those
earrings you got from me?
- You know, I haven't,
but I'm glad you reminded me
because I know the perfect top
that they'll go with.
- Oh!
Is it a big shopping day
at the Bell, Book & Candle?
- You know, I actually
haven't had time to look.
- But there's so
much to discover.
♪♪♪- What's that?
- I don't know.
- You know, sometimes,
at my own store, I find things
- I hardly even knew were there.
- Ohhh... Oh!
- It's a scrapbook from
a Middleton wedding.
There's photos
and all sorts of
memories from the bride.
- Ohhh...
"Our wedding day,
October 30th, 1926."
- Yeah, but the bride
looks like she was
a descendant
from the Merriwicks.
- And look at that.
It has a description
of exactly where it
took place, outdoors!
Maybe this is the romantic spot
that I've been looking for.
- I would love
to come check it out with you.
- We could do it tomorrow.
- Great!
- Well, you can keep that
to help you find your way.
- Well, this has been another
successful shopping day,
which is only one of the many
reasons that I keep coming back.
This is the mayor!
- What do I owe you
for that scrapbook?
- Oh, consider it a gift.
- You give so much away I don't
know how you stay in business.
Volume.
- Uh, sorry, my dad's not
home right now, but I can
let him know you stopped by.
- Would you?
I was going through my inventory
and I think I might have
found some good options
for what he's looking
for. Have him call
Don Pryce at Pryceless Jewels.
- He's buying jewelry?
Why is my dad buying jewelry?
♪♪♪
Come in!
Nick?
- Your mom told me
you were up here.
- Yeah, I am. What's going on?
- Uh, we need to talk.
- OK...
♪♪♪
- This is the place where that
Merriwick wedding happened!
Right here! It's just
as it was described
in the book!
- It really is
beautiful, isn't it?
- Oh, yes! And you
get such a sense
of all the history that's
happened just standing here,
which is what I was
looking for all along.
I'm gonna get the city's
photographer out here
this afternoon, so we can
put it in the new brochure.
And then, here
come the tourists!
- Nice place, isn't it?
- Oh!
- Yes, and it's about
to become very popular.
- Yeah, we're just
surveying the land
in case the new owner
wants to put anything up.
- "New owner"? I didn't realize
that this land is
privately owned.
- Yes, but it would still
be great for tourism, right?
- Yes, but who's the new owner?
"Abigail Pershing"
You own this land!
- I might have recently decided
to make an investment, yes.
- Since when did you become
a land baroness?
- I used the money
from the sale of my ad company.
- So leading me here
is an extreme
conflict of interests.
- It was that book
that led you here.
- Yes, but who knows what spell you cast
to make me find it in the first place? You!
You tell whoever is
head of your department
to call the mayor first
thing in the morning.
I'm sure there are
plenty of regulations
that forbid buildings out
here. But if there aren't,
we'll write some
until there are.
- So Nick and I had
something we wanted to tell you.
We know we haven't been
hanging out as much as we used to.
- Because we haven't
really been getting along.
- But after you
guys talked with us...
- We kind of started
thinking about our friendship.
- We've known each
other for a long time.
- Yeah, we're practically
like brother and sister.
- And yeah, sure, we might get
on each other's nerves
every now and then.
- Which will happen a lot.
- Oh, tons.
- But that doesn't
mean we're not friends.
- Totally.
And we always will be.
- Well, that's good to hear.
- Yeah. Sounds like you
really figured things out.
- Oh, we did. Yeah.
- Yeah.
- So, uh... yeah.
- All right then.
- Thanks for telling us.
- Yeah, we just wanted
you guys to know, so...
- Mhm. Mm-hmm. Uh, Grace?
- Yeah?
- Um, your pin looks
like it's a little loose.
- Oh!
No, it's fine.
- Oh, you just wouldn't
want it to fall off.
- Thanks.
So that was harder
than I thought it would be.
- We did fine.
- Maybe you did, but I don't
know if they believed me.
- They believed us both.
- Do you really think
this is gonna work?
- It already is working.
Look, you and I don't have
a lot of time until we graduate,
and then we will both be
out of the house.
If we fake a truce
while we're with our parents,
then they can at least get on
with getting
married, which is...
obviously what they want.
- Fine.
As long as that's the only
time we have to be together.
- It's all I'm planning on.
- Me too.
- OK. Cobb salad,
no egg with extra
avocado on the side.
- Except that I
ordered an egg salad
with a side order
of avocado, toast.
- Really?
- Mhm.
- I... I swear you
said Cobb salad.
Ah, you know what?
You would just be better
to go into the kitchen
and make it yourself.
- Are you all right?
- I am fine. It's just...
- What's wrong, dear?
- OK.
Ben and I broke up.
- Oh, I am so sorry.
- We just got to the
point where it was like...
where are we going?
Are we gonna get
married eventually?
And then we both decided, no.
That's why I've been making
so many changes around here:
to keep my mind off things.
I guess it's hard to cover
up how you really feel.
- Or the pain of a broken heart.
- Yeah.
- Hello.
Is everything OK?
- Not really, no.
- Ben and I decided that
the two of us are done.
- Oh no!
Are you doing all right?
- Not yet.
It's just... we've been
together for so long,
and eventually
you start to think,
"Maybe, this is the kind of
love that's gonna last forever."
How often does that
really come along, I guess.
- Well, just because it
didn't happen with him
doesn't mean it won't
happen with somebody else.
- Martha's right.
- Maybe.
I hope couples like that
realize what they have.
- I don't know if anyone
who's truly in love appreciates
what a rare thing that can be.
- Yeah, but when it does happen,
I hope they celebrate it
and let the whole world know.
So Nick said
that jeweler stopped
by last night. I'm thinking
we might want to head back
over there and find something new.
- Uh... yeah, that's
kind of why I'm here.
There's been a lot of
talk of romance lately
because of Martha's big search,
and I just found out
that Stephanie broke up
with Ben.
- Oh, that's too bad.
- Yeah. But it got
me thinking about me
and who I'm gonna end up with
and if I'm ever gonna
find someone I want
to be with forever.
- I'm sure you will.
- Maybe, maybe
not, I don't know,
but I do know someone
who has found that person.
And I'm not supposed to tell anybody,
but her boyfriend already asked her
to marry him, which is why...
I wanted her to have this. ♪♪♪
- How did you get that?
And it's got the middle
piece that goes with it!
- I didn't know that that
ring went with anything
until I saw the
other two pieces.
- Where did you find it?
- Well, my father had it,
but it was almost lost forever.
Cassie was cleaning
out the front closet,
and my father's old
raincoat was in there.
So I put it on and found
something in the pocket.
It was a pawn ticket.
So I called the shop and could
not believe that they still had
what it was for. And
they sent it to me.
I didn't know
anything about the ring
or why my father had it,
but it just seemed too
special to wear so I hid it away.
And then when I was with you
at the jewelry store and I saw
the other two pieces, I realized
all three of them go together.
- But the jeweler said
he would never sell it because
it meant so much to him.
- Which is why I had to
find the one thing he wants
more than anything else:
the one thing that maybe
he would trade the ring for.
- How did you get that open?
I worked on that
as often as I could,
and it felt like it
was welded shut.
Have the magic touch, I guess.
It had these initials
on the outside
and a photo of a little
girl and her grandmother
in front of their house. So I
was able to get the address
and figure out that her
name is Susan Becker.
- "Susan Becker" I
guess there's no point
in wondering if she
ever thought about me.
- Well, I have her phone number
right here if you wanna ask her.
- Of course, I want that.

anything that I want just as much.

that ring for myself,

of the car, do you need it?
- Uh, yeah. Yeah,
I'll get it out. Thanks.
I'll just be a minute.
- Did I hear Sam down here?
- Oh yeah, he'll be right back.
- Good. We have a minute.
OK, I probably
shouldn't tell you this,
but I helped him go
ring shopping today.
- He told you we were engaged?
- Please, I figured it
out with one guess.
But I want to make
sure he gets you exactly
the ring that you want. So
what kind of ring do you want?
- Well...
there is a certain ring that
I've always sort of wanted.
It was passed down through all
the Merriwicks for hundreds of years.
- A Merriwick ring? I never
knew anything about that.
- Yeah. It's said to
be kind of magical.
It's supposed to bring
everlasting marriage
full of happiness to
any bride who wears it.
- Well, where is it?
- Nobody knows.
Lost to the ages. Might have been
accidentally sold at an estate sale.
But the way it was
described to me,
it is just beautiful.
It's an interlocking gimmel ring
with three pieces,
with the delicate
diamond loops on either
side and a larger diamond
in the middle that
holds it all together.
♪♪♪- Wow, that would be
pretty amazing if
anybody found that.
- Yeah. Really, it would be
something any Merriwick
woman would want.
- I couldn't understand why.
♪♪♪
- Hey, got a minute?
- Sure! What's going on?
- Well, um, I just wanted
to talk to you about Nick.
- Ooh!
- I don't really have
that much to say.
I just decided I didn't want to
hang out with her anymore, OK?
- All because you got in a fight
over how you broke up with Courtney?
- It's not just about all that.
- He never thinks
about people's feelings,
and he doesn't take
life seriously, at all.
- All she does is tell me
how I should be doing things
and the way I should
be living my life.
- You need to think of what
Nick was going through.
Courtney was the first
girl he ever broke up with.
- Except he took
forever to do it.
And I was stuck having to
pretend like everything was fine
when it wasn't.
- Well,
couldn't have been easy
for Grace, being stuck
in the middle of that.
- The only reason she was
in the middle of it is
because she put herself there.
- Maybe Nick and
I have just kind of
moved on from being friends.
- And Grace... isn't somebody
I get along with anymore.
- So I guess
he and I are sort of done.
I'm sorry, but that's
just the way it is.
♪♪♪
- Hello, Martha.
- Oh! Abigail!
Good! Does this setting put you
in the mood for romance?
- I guess it would depend
on who I was here with.
- I want to benefit
our tourist trade,
so I'm looking for a new place to
name Middleton's most romantic spot,
and I think this
might fit the bill.
There used to be
a gazebo right here
where some of the earliest
Middleton marriages took place.
So I'm thinking of
putting up another
and then watching
the money just pour in.
- That would be
good for business.
- Aww, it's Tom.
He's been trying to get
ahold of me all morning.
- Aren't you gonna answer it?
- I wish that I could,
but I'm on such a mission I
simply don't have the time.
Now you let me
know if you happen
to stumble across a place
that just screams romance,
hmm?
- I definitely will.
- Tata! ♪♪♪
- So I've talked with Nick
last night.
- And I spent time with Grace.
I think I get what's going on
between them, and I have to say,
I don't blame Grace
for keeping her distance.
- Nick shouldn't feel he has
to live up to her standards.
- Oh, but he didn't do right by
Courtney. And he does need
to start thinking about
somebody other than himself.
- Yeah, well, that doesn't
mean that he has to do
things exactly the way my
daughter says he should.
- Well, I'd be fine if Nick thought
about life as seriously as she does.
- And I wouldn't mind
if Grace showed people
a little more grace.
- Either way, they're
not getting along.
And I don't know when
they're gonna start.
- Well, maybe we should lay back
and just trust that they
will work things out.
- Or forever hold your peace.
I've got to go. I've got to
do stops on my way to work.
- Ooh, what are you doing?
- I've been thinking
about something that you don't
really need to know about right now.
- Which makes me
wonder even more what it is.
- It's killing you, isn't it?
- Nick!
- Hey, uh...
I was just getting
something to eat.
- Yeah, sure.
- Yep.
- Ummm... I'm
gonna skip the coffee,
but you guys go on without
me. I'll meet you at school?
- OK, sure.
- Bye.
- Oh! Hey, Grace!
- Hey, Stephanie!
Why are you gardening?
- Oh, it's for the Mayor.
She's looking for the new
most romantic spot in Middleton.
I already planted a few flowers,
but I was just trimming
some things back
so that everything looks
like it really pops, you know?
Yeah.
Oh! OK, you dropped something.
♪♪♪- Oh!
- Did Abigail give this to you?
- Yeah, and I think she
got it from your mom.

I didn't really...
didn't really want it getting in
the way while I was working.
- Oh, it won't. There you go.
- Thanks!
You're sure it looks OK?
- Oh, it looks great.
- You know what?
I don't know if I
really wanna be
a part of the Bistro
being declared
some sort of Middleton
romantic landmark.
- But... I mean, it looks
kind of pretty back there.
I could see couples
standing there taking pictures.
It's just a fountain
and some flowers
next to a fence.
♪♪♪
- You're back sooner
than I thought you'd be.
- Yeah, I was thinking about
the ring that you had. You know,
the two pieces hooked together?
- The gimmel ring.
- Yeah. Um, I just can't
get it out of my mind.
I figured I could have a
piece made to go in the middle.
- Except, uh...
- I remember you said
you wouldn't sell it,
but I think it's something
Cassie would really love and...
I was hoping we might
be able to make a deal.
- Somebody already did.
I don't have it anymore.
- What?!
- Well, they came in here

- I don't know.
- You know, sometimes,
at my own store, I find things

- Ohhh... Oh!
- It's a scrapbook from
a Middleton wedding.
There's photos
and all sorts of
memories from the bride.
- Ohhh...
"Our wedding day,
October 30th, 1926."
- Yeah, but the bride
looks like she was
a descendant
from the Merriwicks.
- And look at that.
It has a description
of exactly where it
took place, outdoors!
Maybe this is the romantic spot
that I've been looking for.
- I would love
to come check it out with you.
- We could do it tomorrow.
- Great!
- Well, you can keep that
to help you find your way.
- Well, this has been another
successful shopping day,
which is only one of the many
reasons that I keep coming back.
This is the mayor!

- You give so much away I don't
know how you stay in business.
Volume.
- Uh, sorry, my dad's not
home right now, but I can
let him know you stopped by.
- Would you?
I was going through my inventory

- This is the place where that
Merriwick wedding happened!
Right here! It's just
as it was described
in the book!
- It really is
beautiful, isn't it?
- Oh, yes! And you
get such a sense
of all the history that's
happened just standing here,
which is what I was
looking for all along.
I'm gonna get the city's
photographer out here
this afternoon, so we can
put it in the new brochure.
And then, here
come the tourists!
- Nice place, isn't it?
- Oh!
- Yes, and it's about
to become very popular.
- Yeah, we're just
surveying the land
in case the new owner
wants to put anything up.
- "New owner"? I didn't realize
that this land is
privately owned.
- Yes, but it would still
be great for tourism, right?
- Yes, but who's the new owner?
"Abigail Pershing"
You own this land!
- I might have recently decided
to make an investment, yes.
- Since when did you become
a land baroness?
- I used the money
from the sale of my ad company.
- So leading me here
is an extreme
conflict of interests.
- It was that book
that led you here.
- Yes, but who knows what spell you cast
to make me find it in the first place? You!
You tell whoever is
head of your department
to call the mayor first
thing in the morning.
I'm sure there are
plenty of regulations
that forbid buildings out
here. But if there aren't,
we'll write some
until there are.
- So Nick and I had
something we wanted to tell you.
We know we haven't been
hanging out as much as we used to.
- Because we haven't
really been getting along.
- But after you
guys talked with us...
- We kind of started
thinking about our friendship.
- We've known each
other for a long time.
- Yeah, we're practically
like brother and sister.
- And yeah, sure, we might get
on each other's nerves
every now and then.
- Which will happen a lot.
- Oh, tons.
- But that doesn't
mean we're not friends.
- Totally.
And we always will be.
- Well, that's good to hear.
- Yeah. Sounds like you
really figured things out.
- Oh, we did. Yeah.
- Yeah.
- So, uh... yeah.
- All right then.
- Thanks for telling us.
- Yeah, we just wanted
you guys to know, so...
- Mhm. Mm-hmm. Uh, Grace?
- Yeah?
- Um, your pin looks
like it's a little loose.
- Oh!
No, it's fine.
- Oh, you just wouldn't
want it to fall off.
- Thanks.
So that was harder
than I thought it would be.
- We did fine.
- Maybe you did, but I don't
know if they believed me.
- They believed us both.
- Do you really think
this is gonna work?
- It already is working.
Look, you and I don't have
a lot of time until we graduate,
and then we will both be
out of the house.
If we fake a truce
while we're with our parents,
then they can at least get on
with getting
married, which is...
obviously what they want.
- Fine.
As long as that's the only
time we have to be together.
- It's all I'm planning on.
- Me too.
- OK. Cobb salad,
no egg with extra
avocado on the side.
- Except that I
ordered an egg salad
with a side order
of avocado, toast.
- Really?
- Mhm.
- I... I swear you
said Cobb salad.
Ah, you know what?
You would just be better
to go into the kitchen
and make it yourself.
- Are you all right?
- I am fine. It's just...
- What's wrong, dear?
- OK.
Ben and I broke up.
- Oh, I am so sorry.
- We just got to the
point where it was like...
where are we going?
Are we gonna get
married eventually?
And then we both decided, no.
That's why I've been making
so many changes around here:
to keep my mind off things.
I guess it's hard to cover
up how you really feel.
- Or the pain of a broken heart.
- Yeah.
- Hello.
Is everything OK?
- Not really, no.
- Ben and I decided that
the two of us are done.
- Oh no!
Are you doing all right?
- Not yet.
It's just... we've been
together for so long,
and eventually
you start to think,
"Maybe, this is the kind of
love that's gonna last forever."
How often does that
really come along, I guess.
- Well, just because it
didn't happen with him
doesn't mean it won't
happen with somebody else.
- Martha's right.
- Maybe.
I hope couples like that
realize what they have.
- I don't know if anyone
who's truly in love appreciates
what a rare thing that can be.
- Yeah, but when it does happen,
I hope they celebrate it
and let the whole world know.
So Nick said
that jeweler stopped
by last night. I'm thinking
we might want to head back
over there and find something new.
- Uh... yeah, that's
kind of why I'm here.
There's been a lot of
talk of romance lately
because of Martha's big search,
and I just found out
that Stephanie broke up
with Ben.
- Oh, that's too bad.
- Yeah. But it got
me thinking about me
and who I'm gonna end up with
and if I'm ever gonna
find someone I want
to be with forever.
- I'm sure you will.
- Maybe, maybe
not, I don't know,
but I do know someone
who has found that person.
And I'm not supposed to tell anybody,
but her boyfriend already asked her
to marry him, which is why...
I wanted her to have this. ♪♪♪
- How did you get that?
And it's got the middle
piece that goes with it!
- I didn't know that that
ring went with anything
until I saw the
other two pieces.
- Where did you find it?
- Well, my father had it,
but it was almost lost forever.
Cassie was cleaning
out the front closet,
and my father's old
raincoat was in there.
So I put it on and found
something in the pocket.
It was a pawn ticket.
So I called the shop and could
not believe that they still had
what it was for. And
they sent it to me.
I didn't know
anything about the ring
or why my father had it,
but it just seemed too
special to wear so I hid it away.
And then when I was with you
at the jewelry store and I saw
the other two pieces, I realized
all three of them go together.
- But the jeweler said
he would never sell it because
it meant so much to him.
- Which is why I had to
find the one thing he wants
more than anything else:
the one thing that maybe
he would trade the ring for.
- How did you get that open?
I worked on that
as often as I could,
and it felt like it
was welded shut.
Have the magic touch, I guess.
It had these initials
on the outside
and a photo of a little
girl and her grandmother
in front of their house. So I
was able to get the address
and figure out that her
name is Susan Becker.
- "Susan Becker" I
guess there's no point
in wondering if she
ever thought about me.
- Well, I have her phone number
right here if you wanna ask her.
- Of course, I want that.
- I wonder if you have
anything that I want just as much.
♪♪♪
- It's yours.
- I was going to keep
that ring for myself,
for when I found
someone to give it to me.
But you and Cassie
have each other now,
so I decided you
should give it to her.
- Thank you.
Now, how does it go together?
- I don't know,
but they're all there.
- Cassie's gonna love it.
- I hope it leads
to a lifetime of happiness.
For both of you.

through this wedding
book and I found a page
where the bride wrote down
some of her favourite memories,
and one of them was
where she got engaged.
- I didn't notice that.
- And it wasn't just her.
Apparently, there is this one
place where engagements
happened all the time.
She writes about a meadow
and how so many of her
ancestors got proposed to there,
which would be some of my
ancestors too: the Merriwicks.
- That would make it historical.
- It's mostly houses
in the neighbourhood
now, but I think
I can figure out where it was
based on some of the landmarks
she describes.
