Good Witch (2015–…): Season 4, Episode 10 - Tossing The Bouquet - full transcript

Sam and Cassie have to accept that their wedding might not be as perfect as planned. In light of her almost-romance with Phil, Abigail's quest to put down roots lands her a new job-the mayor of Middleton.

- Previously on Good Witch...
- I was wondering

if you think Stephanie
would want to go out with me?

- I think the two of you
would be fantastic together.

- Really?
- What about you, Martha?

What would you wish for?
- Oh, I would just wish
for what

every mayor wants: just one
day without people wanting

so many moments of my time.
- I'm sorry, Abigail. I know

we kind of had something
started here, but I found a place

in Portland.
- OK then.

- So this wedding's actually
coming together.
- Piece of cake.

Life is a risk, so I'm gonna
love you as if each day was



the only one we had.
- Sounds like the perfect way

to start a life together.

(cheery music)

- Ah, there's the happy couple,

soon to be the
happy married couple.

- A few more days.
- You excited
for the wedding?

- Yeah. Can't you tell?
This is my excited face.

- It looks just like
your regular face.

- Well, there's a lot going
on beneath the surface.

- So when do your
guests start getting here?

- My friend Olympia arrives
from Chicago tomorrow.

- And my sister gets
here the day after that.

- Excellent. And I keep
forgetting to ask you, where are

you going for your honeymoon?
- Oh, we haven't decided yet.



- Shouldn't you
have plans already?

- Well, Cassie traveled the
whole world without making

any plans. We thought we'd
just wait 'til we were married and

see where the wind takes us.
- Ooh, like a hot air balloon

ride over the African desert.
- Yeah, I wasn't
really literal

about that wind thing.
- I'm just saying

it's an option.

- Who's gonna go first?
- Either one. You should

probably go first because
my maid of honour speech

is going to be so good that
you really won't want to have

to do yours right after.
- OK, how do you know yours

is gonna be so good?
- 'cause I'm almost finished

writing mine and you haven't
started your best man speech.

- And how do you know that?
- Because you never start

anything in advance.
- I could say
that's not true,

but I can't think of anything
that makes it not true,

so that's true.
- Yeah.

- Hey, guys. Cassie and
I are about to have tea.

You wanna join us?
- Sure.

- Great. We just had a table
cleared and it's getting set up.

- Radford, part of four.
- That's us.

- I'll be right there.
- OK.

- Have you seen
Liam since the party

at Grey House? I noticed
he gave you a ride home.

- I did.
- And?

- And... we sat outside my house

until 3 o'clock in the
morning just talking.

- So it was worth the trip.

- It really was. Yeah, we've

just been so busy getting
ready for your wedding

though that we haven't really
had a chance to talk since.

- Well, I hope whatever
each of you says

gets the reception
you're looking for.

- Just as soon as we
figure out what to say.

- Well, maybe you won't
need any words at all.

(soft music)

- Oh! Hello, George.

- Martha, what are you doing
so far from the centre of town?

- Wedding gift shopping
for Cassie and Sam.

Now normally, I would
just whisk in and out

of the Bell, Book & Candle
but obviously I can't go there.

Still, I am determined
to find the perfect gift.

- Well, I hope your
hunt is successful.

- Excuse me. What do
you think you're doing?

- The mayor told us to put some
new benches along this avenue.

- I most certainly did not!

- Our mayor in Blairsville.

- What?!
- Maybe we're farther

from the centre of
town than we thought.

- Well, no! I...

I know Middleton, and
this is still Middleton!

"Beautiful Blairsville."

The only beautiful
thing about Blairsville

is when you get to leave!
- I don't know.

They've got a pretty
decent hardware store there.

- Really? They should
make that their town motto.

Ha!

(soft music)

- Hello, Sam.
- Hey.

- Oh. What's all that?

- Well, I thought I would go
ahead and bring some things over

so I can move in right after we
get back from our honeymoon.

- Muscular Degeneration in the
Shoulder volumes one and two.

- Oh, but the story really
gets good in volume three.

I've got a few shelves of
medical books if you have room.

- You know, I just happened
to have cleared some space.

- And they'll fit
perfectly right there.

- You know, this is
all starting to feel real.

- What's that?
- You being here.

Being us.
- Huh.

- Oh, did I tell you
about the flowers?

I saw a garden full of cyclamens
the same colour as the ones

I saw when we were looking
for my dress, so I was gonna ask

the owner of the house if
they would let us have them.

- You're gonna ask if
you can pick their flowers?

- Well, they are really perfect.

- So, exactly the right flower
in exactly the right colour

is blooming at
exactly the right time.

- Exactly.
- Well...

I guess we chose the
right week to get married.

Whoa!

- Shh! I'm hiding
from the monster.

- Sorry.
- Maybe I should

hide over there.
- Yeah, you can hide

anywhere you want.
- We're pretending my brother

is a monster, but he
won't find me back here.

(roaring)

Oh, no!

The monster found me!
- I'm gonna get you!

- Not if I'm the monster
now! (screaming)

(roaring)

- Is it always like
this around here?

- You've been at my house
when it was full of guests before.

- Well yeah, but the guests
were usually on their way out

and things were winding down.

It was mostly
just the two of us.

- Well, now you get to
experience Grey House all hours

of the day, when
it's full of life.

(screaming)

See? Life.
- Oh, yeah. I see it. (roaring)

I just didn't realize life
could be so crowded.

(boy screaming)
(Cassie chuckling)

(theme music)

- Cassie, this is

my sister Emma.
Emma, this is Cassie.

- So nice to meet you.
- You too.

- Emma's getting married
too in a few months.

- Oh, and is your
fiance a Marine as well?

- How did you know
that I was in the military?

- Oh, you should just get
used to the fact that Cassie

just sort of knows
things about people.

- And you have a big sister
who is very proud of your service,

and she tells me that
you recently made captain.

- My fiance is a Marine.
He's a first lieutenant.

- Which means she outranks him.

- Ooh. That could come
in handy in a marriage.

- Oh, yeah. I plan to
use that when I have to.

There's a really beautiful
place that we might want to have

the wedding that's just
a few miles from here,

so I'm scouting it out
and reporting back.

- I'm just happy it all
worked out that she's here

to help me get ready
for your wedding.

- Well, you two will have
fun cooking together,

like you did with
your grandmother.

- Yeah, did you
tell her about that?

- I don't remember that I did.

- Hmm. Well, I'm
glad you stopped by

because I thought of
one more thing to add

to what you're already
serving at the reception.

I have this recipe
for saffron shrimp

that I first tried at a
restaurant in Damascus.

It's a bit complicated, but...
- We can do this. No problem.

- OK. Great.

- So, when do I get to
meet this Marine of yours?

- I was really hoping that we
could get here at the same time,

but, well, you'd have to talk
to our commanding officers

about lining up our schedules.

- And I don't think I'm powerful
enough to be listened to

by the United States Marines.

- Yeah. I wish I knew
someone who was.

(sighing)
- Brandon.

You're a police officer.
Can you do something

about this tree?
- Only if it's

stealing your purse.
- It's starting to block

my sign. Pretty soon, all
anybody's gonna be able to read

is Abigail's OW. Who do I
talk to about getting it trimmed?

- City Council has someone
who takes care of those requests.

- Do I have to make an
appointment at City Hall?

- Well, don't worry. I'm
sure they'll make time

for the owner of Abigail's OW.

(chuckling)

♪♪♪

- Sam. Hi.

- Oh, hey. Have you
seen a book that I left here

about the intricacies of
the respiratory system?

- Sorry. I'm more
into Harry Potter.

- Oh. I need it
for a consult.
- Oh. Well, one of the guests

might have taken it. Oh, my mom,

she lets people borrow
whatever they want down here.

Yeah, you learn that
anything that's not nailed down

pretty much disappears.

- Well, it must be hard to
keep track of where you put

your stuff.
- You'll get used to it.

It's just one of the things
about living at Grey House.

(soft music)

- I just drove by
here yesterday.

- Well, you should've
stopped then.

- This whole area was
covered with cyclamens.

- I know. They were taking
over the whole yard, so I got out

here with the weed
whacker. (sighing)

- So are there
none of them left?

- Just what's in
the wheelbarrow.

- Oh.
- I don't even know

how these things got in my yard.

You know, I didn't plant
them. They just sprouted up.

- Yeah, they hardly grow
anywhere when it's this cold.

- Good. I don't want them back.

(sighing)

- You need a tree trimmed?
- Yes, so it doesn't cover

my sign Brandon says you
have somebody on City Council

who handles that.
- There was until last week,

when Melissa Glen retired.
- Who am I supposed
to speak to?

- Whoever fills her seat.
- And that would be...

- To be determined by
the upcoming election.

- When is that?
- End of the year.

- End of the year? My shop
could be taken over by a forest

by then.
- Honestly, this is the least

of my problems right now,
what with the city of Blairsville

encroaching on everything that
we Middletonians know to be good

and holy.

- Isn't there some way
we can get that seat

filled before the election?

- Well, a temporary
council representative

can be appointed by
a person of authority.

- And who has that authority?
- The mayor, dear.

This meeting will
now come to order.

Now, before we begin, I
want to officially introduce

our newest council member
who has been appointed to take on

the duties of Melissa Glen.

So please welcome

Councilwoman Abigail Pershing.

Now, the first
item on our agenda

is to elect a new
council president.

- You people don't
even have a leader?
- Of course we do. Me.

But the original charter
set up a system of checks

and balances that we,
you know, pay lip service to.

So... anybody want the job?

Oh, come on now, people!
Somebody has to do it.

- While we're waiting to
figure that out, could we talk

about trimming back my tree?
- Not until we have
a president.

- What if I volunteer
for the job?

- You want to be
council president?

- I want people to be
able to read my sign,

so if that's what it takes.

- Well, it'll certainly
move things along.

Hearing no objections?

Councilwoman Pershing
will serve as president.

- So hail to the me.
- Now, can we just
zip through

the rest of our agenda so I can
have some time to think about

what I'm getting Sam and
Cassie for their upcoming wedding?

- How about a big tree branch
from in front of my shop?

We could put a bow on it
and say it's a gift from all of us.

- Madam President?

Madam President?
- Oh, right. That's me.

- You're in charge of
landscaping and beautification.

If you want something
done, you can approve it

if there are no objections.
- Does anyone object

to me sawing off a branch?

Then so moved.

- Done.
- Ooh, can I do

the gavel next time?
- You try it,

and I'll be using it on you.

(soft music)

- How much of this did you need?

- Uh... you know, I think we

better take all of it. We
are making a lot of shrimp.

- Well, in that
case, here you go.

- I think we got

about everything except

the Iranian saffron.

- Oh, that's a very
special seasoning

that makes
this dish so unique.
- Ah. Well, where are we

supposed to get that?
- I have a friend

who lives in the Middle East,
and she sends me a shipment

of fresh spices each month.

You know, the next shipment
is actually due tomorrow.

There's always
Iranian saffron in there.

- Great, then we will have
everything we need. Is Ryan

gonna be able to swing
through town while we're getting

things ready?
- It doesn't look like it.

- Oh. Emma's fiance got
called to a training exercise

at a base just on the
other side of the state line.

- I was hoping that his unit
would pass through Middleton,

but it's not.
- Hmm.

Well, maybe he can make
it here some other time

so the two of you can experience

all the romance
this town has to offer.

- Oh, Liam.
- Stephanie.

- This is my sister Emma.
- Ah. The Marine, right?

- OK, does my
sister tell everyone?

- Oh, she's very
proud. Oh, Cassie,

I brought some champagne
to try for the wedding reception.

- I will get some glasses.
- Great.

Did you want to join us?
- You know, we would love to,

but we have
a lot of work to do.
- Oh, then some other time.

- When things slow down.

- OK. Ah.

(door bell jingling)

Great.

- And so, a toast. Not the kind

with bread, but with whatever
you have in your glass.

To my dad and...
- Nick?

- Grace. Um...

I can read you the rest later.

- I can't wait to
hear how it ends.

- What was going on?

- Nick just wanted to try out
his best man speech on me.

- So he finally
started working on it.

- Mm-hmm.

- Well, what did it say?

- I think he wants
that to be a surprise.

But it was really very good,

very heartfelt and
spur of the moment.

- Yeah. Well, um...

I structured mine to be
sure that it built on a theme,

sort of like an
English essay, so...

- It's a wedding reception,
Grace, not a midterm.

- Do you think I
should rewrite it?

- Uh...

- Have you done
any recent upgrades?

- I never really needed to.

The house was like
this when I bought it,

and I just punched in the
key code and moved right in.

- Well, it's in
wonderful condition.

- Yeah, I was lucky to find it.

And I've really learned
to love my neighbour.

- What's the
timeline for the sale?

- Oh, I'm not in any
big hurry. It's just that

after this weekend, I won't
be living here anymore.

- Oh, where are you
moving to?
- Not very far.

The house next door.
I'm getting married.

- Oh, congratulations.
- Thank you.

- But I thought that that house
was a bed and breakfast?

- It is... but I'll be
living there now too.

- Well, that will
be a big change.

- It will.

- I'll write up a listing and
get it on the market right away,

but a house like this with
this much space and privacy,

I can't imagine anyone
wouldn't wanna call this place

their home.
- Yeah.

Yeah, I really did like it here.

- I always look forward

to getting fresh spices
from my friend, and then

making delicious meals
with whatever she sent me.

Uh, that's weird.
It's not in here.

- What?
- The Iranian Saffron.

It was the main thing
we needed for the dish.

- Oh. Well, can we get
more before the wedding?

- No, and the recipe won't
be the same without it.

- It's too bad because
we already bought

everything on here...

This is exactly what we
need for shrimpy wraps.

- Really?
- Yeah.

- What are shrimpy wraps?
- Ravioli with shrimp

and lemon cream sauce. Our
grandmother used to make it

all the time, and Emma
calls them shrimpy wraps.

She wanted to make them

every time we were
at Grandma's house.

- They're my favourite food!
- Sounds like
I would like it.

- Maybe we could make
them for the reception.

- Oh, yeah, but I wish we had

that special ravioli roller our
grandma got from her grandma.

- Sure, but where are we
gonna find one of those?

- I have some cooking
utensils over there. Maybe you'll

find something that'll work.
- I don't know. Grandma was

pretty specific about how
she wanted things to be.

- Every ravioli had to be
even and the right size,

which is why she used a
roller... just like this one.

- That's pretty much
exactly like Grandma's.

- Then the two of you should
be experts in how to handle it.

- Ah! We'll get right to work.

- Well, I just hope you'll
still have time to make it to

the rehearsal dinner
tomorrow?
- Oh, yeah. Where is that?

- Oh, Liam's hosting
it at the microbrewery.

- Oh, Liam's hosting it.
- Stop it.

I would love to.

Thanks. And thanks for this.

(giggling)

Martha!
- Watch where you step

out there. You wouldn't want
to trip over an illegally-placed

Blairsville bench.
- Hello, Martha.

How are things in
our fair little town?

- We're at war, actually,
fending off marauding invaders

who are trying
to claim our land.

- So, not good.
- Well, I can understand

why anyone who lived in
Blairsville would rather be

living in Middleton, but
this town is only big enough

for one town, and we're it.

But let's talk about something
more pleasant, shall we?

Like your wedding gift.

I'm still waiting for suggestions
about what to get you.

- Oh. Well, just that you're
thinking about the two of us

is gift enough.
- Oh, you can't be serious.

Thinking about doesn't
count as much of a gift.

Unless that was
the gift. (gasping)

Cassie, your words have
inspired me once again.

- Oh. What did I say?
- Well, you'll certainly be

thanking me on your
wedding day, so I'll just say this

in advance: you're welcome.

♪♪♪

(birds chirping)

(soft music)

- I didn't even know the
sink needed to be fixed.

- I don't think
your dad did either,

but Cassie noticed
there was a drip and knew

we had one of these
doohickeys to fix it.

- What's a doohickey?
- It's kind of a...

whatchamacallit. I'm surprised

you're not still working
on your best man speech.

- Nah. I'm pretty much done.
- Oh.

Grace is working on
hers night and day.

- Really?
- Oh, yeah. She's practically

glued to the computer.

By the way, have you figured
out what you're gonna call me?

When your dad marries Cassie,

you're gonna become the step-son

of my daughter's husband's wife.

- I was thinking

I might just keep
calling you George.

- I think it's probably simpler

that way.

(chuckling)

- When will they let
you book another flight?

Well, that's after
we get married!

(sighing)

All right. Well, let's talk
again after you get it renewed.

Me too. Soon, I hope.

- Who was that?
- My sister.

She didn't realize
her passport's expired

and they won't
let her travel.
- Oh. Where has she been?

- I never know for sure. I
get updates, but all I could

figure out from the last
one was somewhere in Asia.

- So she's not gonna
make the wedding?

- Yeah, looks like it.
- That's too bad.

- Yeah, I really
wanted her to be there.

All right.

Who's our next patient?
- No one.

I kept your schedule light
today because I figured you

and Cassie had a lot to do
to get ready for the weekend.

- Thanks. We do. I was supposed
to meet her over at Grey House,

but there's a little too much
life going on over there,

so I thought I would
just stay here at the office

and do what I need to on
my own. Plus, when I'm here,

nobody borrows my stuff.

♪♪♪

- I thought these meetings
only happened once a month.

- Unless there's special
business, and this business

is special and urgent. It's
about this weekend's wedding.

- Ugh. Is that all
anybody cares about?

- We live vicariously.
Don't judge.

But I finally came up

with the perfect gift. I
want City Council to issue

a formal proclamation in
honour of Sam and Cassie,

which I'll announce right
before I present them

as husband and wife. I just need
everyone's approval to make it official.

- All in favour, yay. All opposed,
keep it to yourself. Can we go now?

- No! Not until the
minutes reflect our decision.

And Jared's not even
here to record them.

- Madam Mayor.
- There you are!

The meeting started ages ago.

- I'm sorry. I had to dig
this out of the archives room

to show you.
- Show me what?

- The City Manager
looked into our border issue

and, well, look.
- Ah!

Middleton in her early days.
- Right when the town

was founded. It
shows the exact line

between our city
and Blairsville.

- Finally, proof to push
those wannabes back.

- The boundary that was
drawn runs right down the centre

of what is now Ridgepine Drive.

- Oh! I live on Ridgepine Drive.

- The south side is
and always has been

a part of Middleton.

The north side is
part of Blairsville.

- Which side do you live on?

- Who am I, Magellan?
How should I know?

- The Mayor lives on...

the north side, right... here.

- But you said
that was Blairsville.

- It is.
- MY HOUSE

IS IN BLAIRSVILLE?!
- Yes, and please try

and remember that I am
simply the messenger here,

but non-residents of Middleton
are not allowed to serve

as mayor, which is why
I've been instructed...

to strip you of your title.

- Oh!
- Please hand over
your gavel.

- I will do no such thing!

- I'm sorry, Madam Mayor,
but those are the rules.

And there is one more thing.

According to the Charter,

if the mayor is unable to
serve, the title falls immediately

to the president
of the City Council.

- The president? I...

- So, that means...

- Mayor Pershing.

The city is yours.

(indistinct speaking)

- It's nice to see you taking
a break from rolling raviolis.

- Ah. This is my
sister's fiance.

- Oh, Ryan.
- Ma'am.

- I didn't think
you could make it.

- His training exercise got
canceled, so everyone was

granted some leave.
- I was able to get a ride

our unit chaplain who's visiting
some friends in... Blairsview?

- Blairsville.
- And then I took him out

to show him the place
where I want us to get married

and he loved it.
- Middleton really is

the perfect place to
start a life together.

- Right on time, as usual.
- Oh.

There's the man I
came here to see.

- Liam, would you like to join us?
You could sit right next to my sister.

- I would love to,
but Cassie and I need

to go over what I'm serving
at the rehearsal dinner.

- We're having it here and
then going to Grey House

to walk through the ceremony.

- Only four more days!
- Ryan and I still
have to wait

for what feels like forever.

- I'm sure that day will be
here before you even know it.

But since you're both in
town, why don't you join us

for our rehearsal
dinner? It's Thursday at 5.

- Well, that sounds
great. Thank you.

- Everyone's been so
wonderful helping us

put this wedding together,
but it'll be nice when things

slow down a bit and
people can have more time

to just... be together.
- Shall we?

- Yes.

♪♪♪

- Hmm!

(gasping)

Oh...

- Jared told me
you were in here.

- Not for much longer.

- You doing OK?

- Having lost my purpose

and identity? Hardly.

- You know, Martha,

you are much more than
just the title on that door.

- Tell that to my fellow
residents of Blairsville.

Oh, and the worst part of it is,

I won't be able to
lead you in your vows.

Those duties will fall
to Mayor Pershing.

- Well, Sam and I still want
you to be part of the ceremony.

Maybe you could do the reading

that my friend Olympia
was gonna do. She's got

a family emergency and
can't make it to the wedding.

- So now I'm just a stand-in?

- You'd be an important
part of our celebration.

- Well... I guess
I could do that.

- And we still want you to be at
the rehearsal dinner tomorrow night.

- A bit of solace for
your fallen leader?

Oh... I am

so taking this!

The new Mayor can
get one of her own.

No. No. It is

city property, and it would
be outright thievery to...

Oh! Go ahead! Arrest me!

I'd gladly do the time.

Farewell, my sanctuary.

♪♪♪

(soft music)

- Hey.
- Hey.

- Is your mom here?
- I think she's on her way.

- OK. Well, she wanted
me to print out these pictures

of her and my dad and put
them out at the reception.

- I can give them to her.
- Thank you.

- Mm-hmm.
- What are you working on?

- Oh, my maid of honour speech.

- Still?
- I want it to be
really good.

And it is.

(ringing)

Oh, it's Courtney. I've
been meaning to call her.

Hey. Yeah,

I was just gonna call you.
- Oh. Hey, Nick.

- Grandpa!

You see, it just
doesn't sound right.

- How's your speech coming?
- Uh, it's not.

I feel like there's so much
pressure on every word.

- Well, that's funny. I
heard Grace typing away

like it was no problem at all.

- Well... let's
see what it says.

- Do you think you
should be doing that?

- I'll hear it eventually.

"A wedding is a
day for all of us

"to think about love and being
together and Nick, stop reading

my maid of honour speech..."

- Have you no decency?

- Hey, you tried to get George
to tell you what mine said.

- Oh, all I did
was ask. I didn't

go crawling around
on your hard drive.

- Well, I'm gonna redo
my speech and make sure

it's better than yours.
- Oh, and I'm gonna
have people

laughing and in tears, so
good luck having to follow that.

(laughing)
- (together): What?!

- It's just funny watching you.

If I didn't know any better,

I'd think you two had been

brother and sister
your entire lives.

- What's a larry-nix?

- A what?

- A larry-nix. I was
reading about it in this book

about breathing.
- A larynx.

- Yeah. What's it do?

- Larynx is another name

for your voice box. It's located

in your neck, right about here.

We use it when we
breathe, swallow, talk...

when you make a lot of noise.

- So I use mine a lot.

- Well, anybody who's
chasing monsters would. Yeah.

Are you interested

in that sort of thing?
Maybe becoming a doctor?

- I don't know. Everybody says

you have to be so
smart to be a doctor.

- Yeah, mostly you just
have to remember things.

- I'm pretty good at
remembering things...

like this book was exactly

right here before I borrowed it.

I knew I should remember
for when I put it back.

- Well, if you can
remember that, then you can

certainly figure out where all
the bones are in the human body.

And there's a book right here
that shows you all about it.

- Can I borrow this one too?

- You can take any of
them whenever you want.

- Thanks!
- And you know
one of the best

things about being
a doctor is?
- What?

- You get to talk to all
kinds of different people.

- With my larynx! (laughing)

- That's right.

- How long have you
been standing there?

- Long enough to see
how nice you were treating

one of my guests.
- Ah. Well, I thought I should

get used to having so
many people around.

- You gonna be OK with that?
- I think it's one
of the things

I'm gonna love the
most about living here.

- Well, then you
should probably move in

more of your stuff
upstairs, down the hall.

I turned one of the guest rooms

into a private office
just in case you wanted

some time to yourself.
- Thank you.

- Oh, and I figured out

what I wanna do
for our honeymoon!

- Oh, good, 'cause I've
been a little stumped.

- Yeah. Thanks. I
wanna travel around

and visit all the people who
can't be here for our wedding,

the ones that
mean so much to us.

- Like Joanne and Olympia?
- Yeah, and my foster mother

and Laurie
can't be here either.
- Oh. Yeah, I'd like

to see all of them.
- Great! Then we could actually

spend time with them
instead of just a quick visit

after cutting the cake.
- Yeah.

I think that sounds great.
- Yeah.

- So...

this is all... gonna happen,

just like we've
been waiting for.

- Three more days. It'll
be the perfect wedding.

- And do you think we're
ready for life after that?

- I do.

You see how good I am
at saying those two words?

- It looks like you've
been practising.

- I just want you to know

how much I mean it
when it really counts.

- Are your children
joining us for dinner?

- They're gonna meet us
at Grey House in time to run

through the ceremony.
- They both said they needed

more time to work
on their speeches.

- Well, I can't wait to
see what they have to say.

- Hey, we should get a
picture before we all sit down.

Amy, can you take a photo?
- Of course.
- Hey, let's do it over here.

- Let's put the bride
and groom in the middle,

right next to the mayor.

- Oh! Well, if you insist.
- Ahem.

- Oh. Her.
- Why don't you come

on this side, next to me?
- Thank you.

- Can you get

closer together?
Liam, you and...

- Stephanie.

- Yeah, you really
need to squeeze in.

And... there. (clicking)

One more.

Good.

Here you go.
- Thanks.

- Cassie, I brought
something to show you.

It's not a cyclamen
like you wanted,

but I thought the colour would
match some of the other things

you picked out.
- Oh, those are gonna

look really good.
- Where did you get that?

- I ordered it out
of a catalogue.

- You remember?
- Yeah, of course.

Well, we met at a logistics
seminar and we had

some free time, so we went
for a walk in the sand dunes.

- And they had flowers like
that growing everywhere.

They really are beautiful.

- Good, because Grey House
is going to be full of them.

- So you're doing the flowers
and leading the ceremony.

- A mayor's work
is never done.
- Oh, go ahead! Rub it in!

But the worst part of it is
now I don't have the authority

to proclaim the day in
honour of Cassie and Sam.

Now I'll have to go
and buy them a blender.

- I don't know that you

have to settle on
the right gift just yet.

- Well, the wedding's
the day after tomorrow.

- Which means you
still have time to shop.

- Lieutenant Gathright!

- Chaplain Roberts.

Emma, this is Dave
Roberts, unit chaplain.

- It's nice to meet you.
- Chaplain.

- I thought you
were in Blairsville.

- Aren't we all?
- I was, but your CO called

and wanted me to
convey the news.

You're being deployed overseas,

both you and Captain Borden.

- Well, where are
they sending them?

- I'm sorry. We can't
give out that information,

but they need you to report to
Jacksonville and you to Norfolk,

then they'll give you your
assignments from there.

- Two different places?
- We're in
different divisions.

That's how the system works.
- And they wanted me
to tell you

that the deployments
will be for a full year.

- A year?! You guys

are getting married!
- I guess it'll have to wait.

- We can reschedule for
as soon as we get back.

- It just seems like such
a long time from now.

- I know.

What else can we do?

- I give you this ring as a

- Yeah, pretty good.

- Well then, by the

You can kiss now.

- I think the two of you win

the prize for best wedding gift
ever, since what you gave us

was your literal wedding.
- Well, we're just glad
you enjoyed it.

- We loved everything about
it. The flowers, and the food...

It was all... exactly
what we wanted.

- We were hoping it would
be a day to remember forever.

- Oh, we'll remember.
- It couldn't have been
more perfect

if we'd planned it
for months.
- I'm glad it all worked out.

- It's funny how
it usually does.

- I just hope that the two of you won't
have to wait too long for your wedding.

- Oh, we won't.
- I have a feeling
we'll find a time and place

that'll be just right for the two
of us. Don't you think, Sam?

- I do.

- Guess we won't be giving those
speeches we spent so much time working on.

- Not today, at least.
- Which will give you
more time to make sure yours

is as good as mine.
- Oh, it's good. It's great.
- I'll be the judge of that.

- I'm pretty sure you would've liked
it, 'cause it was mostly about you.

- You were in mine, too.

I redid it after I heard what
Grandpa said. I was going to say

how happy I was looking
forward to having you as a brother.

- And I was gonna say
that this is about a lot more

than just my dad and
your mom getting married.

It's about me getting a sister
that's already one of my best friends.

- You were seriously
gonna say all that?

- I was gonna start with that.

- Wha... No, you can't start
with it, you have to lead into it.

- What's wrong with
starting with that?

- Because you
need a structure...

Beginning, middle, end.
- Oh, so now you're gonna
tell me how to write?

- Only if you want
people to pay attention.

- Stephanie. You did a
great job with the food.

These raviolis are delicious.
- Well, you can thank my
grandmother for that.

- I would, but I'd much
rather be here with you.

- So, what's going on with us?

- Yeah, I was hoping
to figure that out myself.

- Look, I know I've
been really busy,

but I would like to get a
few minutes alone with you.

- Really? Looks like we
have a few minutes now.

And actually, there's something
I've been wanting to do for a while,

but I've been waiting
for the right time to do it.

- What was it you
were hoping to do?

(romantic music)

- Was it the right time?

- What took you so long?

- Can we?

- Sorry to interrupt
the festivities,

but these need the
mayor's approval right away.

It's fiscal year-end business.
Approval for police supplies

and educational funds.
- Sounds kind of important.

- Well, you are a
very important person.

Thank you. I will see you
at City Hall.
- Thank you.

- Hey. So do I have to call
you Madam Mayor now?

- Either that
or Your Highness.
- (laughing)

I kind of like it.

It's weird. Once I
finally decided to

embrace being a
Middletonian, this happened.

- I didn't realise you
had been just visiting.

- I was sort of living
my life like that.

But now I'm here to stay. I
even put an offer on a house.

Your house.
- Oh, you wanna buy my house?

- Well, you don't
need it anymore.
- How much did you offer?

- Exactly what you asked for.
- Sold.

- Great! There's
no rush to move out.

Whenever you and Cassie
decide to finally get married,

I will move in. And then I
will be living right next door.

- There goes the neighbourhood.

- Hello.
- Hi.

So... soon, this will be us.

- Can't wait.

- Abigail.

- Phil?

What are you doing here?
- I came back to see you.

- Here I am.

- I was an idiot when I left.

All I've thought about
since I've been gone is you

and how much I wanna be
with you. How I want you with me.

So, would you consider it?

- Consider what?

- Come back to Portland with me.

It's where my business
is, it's where my life is,

and I realised
that I want you in it.

- Phil...
- You told me Middleton

wasn't really your home, that there was
nothing keeping you here, so walk away.

Be with me.

Starting right now.

(sighing)
- Wow!

- It is beautiful.
- It is.

I can see why Emma and
Ryan wanted to get married here.

- Can you imagine this
without all the snow?

The colours of the
season, and the sunlight

glistening on the lake...

This is exactly what
I was hoping to find.

- That place that you wanted
to stumble upon, this is it?

- That's right. This is it.

- Well, then let's do it.
- Really?

- Well, we're never gonna stumble
upon a place any more perfect than this.

- And Ryan and Emma already put a
deposit down for a few months from now.

That would give us enough
time to find the flowers we want

and have the right food.

- And get everybody that
we want to be here. (sighing)

- I can hardly wait for
all of us to be together.

- Me too.

So, uh, exactly how long
are we gonna have to wait?

- Well, we can get married
on the day it was reserved for.

- So, when's the
big day gonna be?

- Halloween.
