Good Witch (2015–…): Season 5, Episode 1 - The Forever Tree, Part 1 - full transcript

Previously, on
"Good Witch".

The mayor lives
here.

MY HOUSE IS IN BLAIRSVILLE?!

I've been instructed
to strip you of your title.

Mayor Pershing,
the city is yours.

I remember making this
for Daddy.

- You miss him?
- Yes.

I wanted to ask if it would be
OK if I married your mother.

Yes!

You know, I've been out of the dating
game for so long,

- I don't know, how to get back in it.
- I'm sure you'll find yourself



- with plenty of options.
- I'll believe it when I see it.

I'm sorry, Abigail. I know we kind
of had something started here,

- but I found a place in Portland.
- OK then.

- What's wrong?
- The whole place

is under three feet of water!

- Our wedding!
- Can't believe we have to wait.

Let's not give up.
We'll find the perfect place.

I would never give up.

It's a bottomless pit in here.

Oh, stop it.

I'm used to you surprising me,

it's one of the things
I love about you,

but I never imagined you'd have
a junk room that's so messy.

Uh, this is not junk;
they're mementoes



and I know where everything is.
I have no doubt.

Well, since Nick moves
in here, all the mementoes

will be replaced
with videogames.

When that kid's
not battling aliens;

he's talking
about battling aliens.

Active imagination is fuel
for a creative soul.

Yeah, well, not sure
that's gonna fly

on college applications.

At least, not the ones
that he filled out

- and never sent in.
- Yeah, there's still time.

I've tried tough love.
I've tried being cool dad.

Ah, but you haven't tried
being awesome new stepmom.

You think you can work
your magic on Nick?

Oh, I knew there was a reason
I was marrying you.

- Is that the only reason?
- No.

- Do tell.
- I'll tell you in two days.

Can you believe
it's finally happening?

- Shhh! Don't jinx it.
- OK.

Stop distracting me,
we'll never get this done.

Ohhh...

I haven't seen this
in a long time.

Wow!

Who are they?

My great-great-great-
grandmother Catherine Merriwick

and her husband Douglas.

They got married
under the Forever Tree.

On their wedding day,
they carved their initials

inside a heart on the trunk,
which means

- their love will last...
- Forever.

Look. The name kind of gave it away.

A lot of people have carved
their initials in trees.

Not a tree that's lived
for thousands of years.

Legend has it
that the roots

never stopped growing.
They go so deep into the ground

that the tree will be here
for all time.

- Where is it?
- No one knows.

Most believe that the tree
has been lost to the ages.

What do you believe?

When the time is right,
the Forever Tree will reveal itself.

*GOOD WITCH*
Season 05 Episode 01

Episode Title :
"The Forever Tree Pt. 1"

That's it.
Alright now, careful.

Keep it moving,
but most importantly,

keep it clean.

Oh my.

Who has the long-handle duster?

Isn't it just so romantic
that Sam and Cassie

went horseback riding here
on their first date,

and now they're
getting married here?

It really is beautiful.

It will be even more beautiful
with flowers everywhere.

Um, well, nobody will be
looking at the flowers

after they taste the food.
Please!

We both know flowers as the most
important part of a wedding.

I doubt 50 hungry guests
would agree with that.

Um, 48 to be exact.

Oh, right,
I forgot my plus one

- is back with his ex-wife.
- Mm. At least, Liam left you

for a good reason. Phil chose
his dating app company over me.

- He did come back for you.
- Like I was ever gonna move

to Portland.
My flower shop is here.

- You're also the mayor.
- Which is taking my entire day.

I have to figure out how to fund
the new playground equipment,

I'm up to my ears in paperwork,
and my phone is ringing

off the hook with constituents
calling me all day.

- I wouldn't want to do it.
- Do what?

Move to Portland.
I hear they get a lot of rain.

Oh, well, Phil's loss
is Middleton's gain.

We couldn't have a better
interim mayor in my absence.

- What do you want, Martha?
- Well, since you asked,

my job back.

You need to get this Blairsville
town line nonsense fixed,

so my house can be
returned to Middleton.

If I were you, I would embrace
my time away from city hall.

You don't have to be mayor
to be... Martha.

Oh, you think I'd be used
to you just popping up by now.

No, no, no, no.
Candles on the sidewalls only.

You should start planning
weddings again, Martha;

- you have a knack for it.
- No. That phase of my life

is over. I'm just doing this
as a favour to Cassie.

I appreciate your help,
but I'd much rather

- you enjoy yourself as our guest.
- But how would I enjoy myself

- if I have nothing to do?
- Quite the conundrum.

Or quite the opportunity.

You're right, Cassie.

Perhaps Martha Tinsdale
needs to reinvent herself.

You could start by helping me
out at Bell, Book & Candle.

There's been a recent opening.

Excuse me.

Hmm!

Dad, you're about
to get married;

are we seriously gonna talk
about college now?

Well, there's still two days
to the wedding and I'm off work,

- what are we gonna talk about?
- Anything else. Please.

Fair enough. But your grandma
and grandpa might ask

about your plans, and they'll be
here in a couple of hours.

Oh, great.
Now, I'm getting it from all sides.

- Getting what?
- Whole college

what-are-you-gonna-do-with-your-life thing.

Hmmm... Well,
I promise not to ask.

At least,
not about college.

Could you go grab
a ladder for me?

I need it to finish
hanging the lights.

I saw one up
by the horse stables.

- Gladly.
- I'll take that.

So you're gonna get him
to take college

more seriously by promising
not to talk about college?

Interesting strategy.

You don't always need to talk
to get someone to listen.

Nice horse!

Thanks!
She's a great jumper.

Cool jacket!

I'm Lyndsay.

I'm getting married.
I... I mean

my dad's getting married.

I'm Nick.
Great to meet you.

Thanks.

OK. Man of few words.

I came looking
for a ladder.

Just on the side of the barn.

Easy, Starfire.

Starfire?

Like from the game Destination?

Is there another Starfire?

- I'm on level 4.
- Me too.

It's a new horse.

He's been really restless,
and no one can get near him yet.

Wow!

Um... I guess I'll see you.

Oh! You forgot
the ladder.

Oh! Yeah.

Hi.

Hello.

Hey, get back!

Shhh... Shhh...

- Shhh... Shhh...
- Grace!

Hey, are you OK?

Yeah.

I'm fine. I just...

Just not sure he is.

- Vincent?!
- What's up, Cass?

Look at you!

- I look good, right?
- Yeah!

I'll let you two get caught up.
It was nice talking to you.

Yeah, you too.
You ever get out to the coast,

- we'll sail the Catalina.
- I'll hold you to that.

- What are you doing here?
- Didn't you invite me?

Well, we did,
but you never RSVP'd.

- You're right, I should get going.
- No, no, I'm not letting you

- get away again.
- Hey! Who's this?

- Ah, Sam, this is Vincent.
- Ah, the foster brother!

I guess Cass told you
about me.

Yeah. She told me you haven't
been around the past 10 years.

- I'm glad you're here now.
- Me too.

Wait 'til you see Grace.
She's all grown up now.

- That makes two of us.
- Yeah.

- Hmm.
- Wow!

It's so nice having you here,
Uncle Vincent.

I cannot remember
the last time I saw you.

Because he keeps promising
to come and never shows up.

When you're out at sea,
keeping a schedule

can be tough.
The ocean is unforgiving.

But we're not. We are grateful
for all these gifts.

Yes, and I love my...

It's a handmade
harmony ball from Bali.

There's a small bell inside.

When you wear it...

It reminds you to take
a deep breath and relax.

Which is why they're also
used for meditation.

It's cool.

- Your turn, Sam.
- Ah!

Yeah,
what do you got, Dad?

- Uh, let's see. It's a...
- It's a lali

drum from Fiji used to call

people together.
I figured you could use it

to gather the new family.
Or I could send a group text.

Um. Seriously, it's...
it's very thoughtful.

- I... Your turn, Mom.
- Yes, OK.

Let's... see here.

Black pearls.

They're amazing! Look.
Yeah.

I found them when I was sailing
to French Polynesia

last month.
They're supposed to protect

- the wearer from negative energy.
- Not too much of that

- around Cassie.
- Hmm. It's also believed

- that they have healing powers.
- You know, as a kid,

uh, I never needed an encyclopedia
when I was living with Cassie.

Well, that sounds like my mom.

She would always tell me
these amazing adventures

she had planned. Her stories
inspired me to take up sailing.

I can't believe
you've been around the world.

Yeah. I circled the world
a few times

working for Jonathan Gardner.

- The billionaire?
- Yeah. I'm in charge

- of his entire fleet.
- You're definitely not

- that shy little kid anymore.
- How-How old

were you guys
when you lived together?

Uh, I got placed there
when I was 6.

Yeah, when I went
to college, you were 10.

When I came home,
you were gone.

Foster kids
get moved around a lot.

Yeah, it took me a long time
to find you again.

And I know we may not have seen
each other as much as we wanted,

but now that you're here,
we're gonna start

making up for that.
I gotta go check in

- with the office.
- OK.

Dr. Katovitz is
covering for you,

so what's really going on?

Like, I know Vincent being
here means a lot to you...

Hmm... But you think
he's gonna disappoint me?

He has before.

I just don't want to see you
get hurt again.

And I love you for that.

But I need you
to do something for me.

Give Vincent a chance.

Aaah...

Hey, Mr. Langer.
How's the patient?

Bored. There's like
two channels in this place.

Well, would a hot coffee
and a maple-bacon donut

- cheer you up?
- Ohhh...

Aaah... You know,

if I don't make it
through the operation, this is

what I'm gonna miss most.

Sure your wife
will be happy to hear that.

She'll be happy
I saved her half.

Are you related
to this troublemaker?

Mr. Langer was
my first customer

the day that I opened my bistro.
He's come in every day since

for a hot coffee
and a maple-bacon donut.

I came in to see

if you want to play some gin,
but I can come back later.

A doctor has time
to play cards?

Haha! A doctor
probably doesn't,

but a hospital chaplain does.

Adam Hawkins.

Oh! Uh, you don't look
like a chaplain.

What does a chaplain
look like?

We gonna play cards of what?

I'll let you two get to it.

It was nice to meet you.

Yeah. You too.

- Um, great song!
- That was my parents'

first dance at their wedding.
I'm adding it

- to the playlist for the band.
- I love it.

I can't wait to meet them.

Ten to one, as soon
as they get here, my dad will

tell you how they made
record time from Minnesota.

And then he'll start looking
for things to fix

- around the house.
- Well, I was kind of hoping

they'd be here by now.
I have a few things to do

before Grace's final fitting
for her maid of honour gown.

Actually, perfect timing.

- Hello! We're here!
- Ah!

Hey, guys!

No. That's how
you greet us?

You give your mother a hug!

And you too,
you're family now.

Unless of course
you're not Cassie in which case

- I'll be hugging a stranger.
- You're safe. Hahaha!

Are you sure you want
to marry this one?

- He's a little grumpy, you know?
- Yeah, I'm working on that.

Haha! It's so great
to finally meet you both.

And as you can see,
they're a handful.

Oh, so that's why you've been
keeping Cassie to yourself:

you're afraid
we'll embarrass you, huh?

I missed you guys.

Well, we have
a beautiful room ready for you.

- Want me to show 'em?
- Thanks.

No. Is there anything at all I can
do to help with the wedding?

Yes. You can relax
and enjoy yourselves.

Oh, well, we're already off
to a good start.

- Made record time from Minnesota.
- Mmhmm. Dad, let me help you

- with those bags.
- They're perfectly balanced,

don't touch 'em.
Just show the way.

If you throw out your back,
don't say I didn't offer.

I'm like an ox.

And when I unpacked,

there's a bent sprinkler head
out there I want to fix.

My two boys.

Some things never change.

You have a wonderful family.

We have a wonderful family.

- Did you get it?
- Just came this morning.

I swear the bride and groom look
exactly like Cassie and Sam.

I wouldn't be so excited.
The topper's that cool; no one's

- gonna look at your cake.
- I hadn't thought of that.

Where is it?
I want to see!

Be right back.

What? I'm gonna pay for it.

Yeah. Well,
in that case,

will you pay
for mine too, please?

Well, that definitely
doesn't look like Cassie.

It was too close to the oven
when I baked the cookies.

- What are we gonna do?
- Well, don't panic.

I can fix it. I think.

The delivery company

says the flowers didn't make it
onto the truck.

Have no fear! You're looking
at an expert in damage control.

- I'll make some calls...
- Martha...

- grease some palms.
- Martha...

There'll be flowers here
tout de suite!

Martha! I've got it.
The flowers will arrive

in plenty of time for the wedding.
There's no damage,

- just a little hiccup.
- I hope so.

Oh. Well then, I'll just have
an espresso to go.

Aren't you supposed to be

helping Cassie at the Bell, Book
& Candle while she's getting

- ready for the wedding?
- I was just on my way there.

It's all part of finding
the updated moi.

Let's call it Martha 2.0.

Tataa!

Oh!

- She forgot her coffee.
- I'll take it.

And if I find it,

then that'll be
my wedding gift to Cassie.

- Oh, she'll love that.
- A tree?

The Forever Tree.

It's a Merriwick thing.

Reminds me of the time
that I drove three hours

to surprise your mother
with a piece of pie

from a bakery that she loved.
That stuff is exhausting.

You look good
in a suit, pal.

You know, I've worn one
every day since I got

my business degree.
That didn't take long.

Did Dad tell you
to bring up college?

Actually no.
I just did the math.

College comes
after high school.

- Ha!
- One thing I've learned:

you gotta trust your guts.
Not just with people.

With everything.

So if you don't feel
that college is in your DNA,

find what is.

- Thanks, Grandpa.
- Yeah, "thanks, Grandpa."

Hey, you used to love
my advice, especially

- when it came to dating.
- Ha!

What kind of dating advice
would you give him?

Hmm...
What's her name?

Lyndsay.

I met her at the ranch where Dad
and Cassie are getting married.

- Got tongue-tied, didn't you?
- Totally.

But I think she's into me.

The only way to know for sure
is to ask her out.

Yeah, I... I don't know.

Worse she can do
is say no.

Only way to find out
is ask her on a date.

That makes total sense.

I literally just gave you
the same advice.

Yeah, but it sounded better
coming from Grandpa.

OK, eyes are closed!

Are they actually closed?
No peeking.

OK, I'm not peeking,
but hurry,

I've been waiting months for you
to surprise me with this dress.

Tadaa!

Ohhh...

Oh, Grace,

it's beautiful!

You're beautiful!

- You promise you like it?
- I love it.

- OK.
- Wow!

Ohhh... You know, it's been
quite a journey getting here,

but I know everything is gonna

- be perfect.
- I want to see too!

Ohhh! Grace, you look amazing!

Alright,
enough about you guys.

How do I look?

You've got to be kidding me.

Well, I guess you two have
more in common than you think.

Yeah.
We have a problem.

- One of us needs a new dress.
- Clearly. Which one?

OK, well,
it is my mom's wedding.

And you'll both look amazing
no matter what you wear.

You're right.
I can compromise.

So can I. I'll find a dress
that puts this one to shame.

Honestly...

A lot of things
keep going wrong.

Don't you think
that it's kind of weird?

No. Me having
the same taste as Stephanie?

Now, that's weird.

Remember this guy?

Elvis the elephant.
You gave it to me the day we met.

Yeah, I told you
he would always be there

when you needed him.
Well, so are you.

You know, I hated
when you left for college.

Elvis was supposed
to keep you company.

His stories weren't
as good as yours.

Is that why you put him
in my suitcase?

I just didn't want you
to forget me.

I could never forget you.
And I'm so proud of you.

That means a lot, Cassie.

You were the only one
who ever believed in me.

I'll never stop.

Stop! Don't move!

Stephanie, you're not
feeling well.

You have a...

- A horrible headache.
- I knew it!

You see? Cassie Nightingale
isn't the only one

- with "intuition."
- OK, well,

Cassie creates
this amazing blend

of aromatherapy oils
for pain.

Do you think
you can make me that?

Oh! Of course.

Now, let's see.

Oh, uh...

Uh...

Hahaha!

Let's do this
the old-fashioned way, shall we?

Martha's magic.

Take two and call me
in the morning.

- Any other problems I can solve?
- Uh, well,

since you seem to know everybody
and everything about them,

what could you tell me about
Adam, the hospital chaplain?

Why? Are you inquiring
about his relationship status?

- I might be.
- Well, I happen to know

that he's quite single
and quite the catch.

Oh, wait. You're not seriously
considering pursuing him,

- are you?
- Why?

Well, it would be like
wearing two different socks.

- What's that supposed to mean?
- I'm just afraid

that you may be reaching
for the stars.

- Really?
- Mm-hmm.

Ha! Well, we'll see
about that.

Is it something I said?

Oh!

Hey!

- Hey, Sam.
- Does anything look familiar?

Hmm...

I recognize that old church
steeple in the background.

So if I can find that church,
I'll find the Forever Tree?

Uh, you might.

But you have
one problem, Doc:

that church was torn down
about 60 years ago.

I got two days, George.

Can you at least point me
in the general area?

A lot of that land
got cleared for new farms.

I hate to break it to you,
but there's a...

good chance that tree
got cleared with it.

Well, if it's out there,
I'll find it.

Good luck.

You know,
I... I really appreciate

all your hospitality,
especially when you got

everything else going on.
Sam and I couldn't imagine

you not being here.

Oh, classical guitar.

Yeah. A customer traded that.

- Bring back some memories?
- Jonathan used to play

our wedding song
on one just like this.

Well, those were the days.

Um, I bet there are
plenty more of those days.

- Oh, my two favourite ladies!
- Oh, what a nice surprise!

- Aw, so sweet!
- Thank you.

- Someone raised you right.
- Yes, someone did.

Could I give you both

- one little piece of advice?
- Yeah.

- Of course.
- Never stop doing

the little things.

Well...

I'm gonna go do some shopping.

- Hey!
- Hey!

- Still a man of few words.
- Well, actually I was...

Easy, girl.
I think she likes you.

Cool.

Did you want to try?

Sure.

Wait. You have to go
in circular motions.

Yeah, perfect.

You really know
what you're doing.

Well, I better.
I'm gonna be a veterinarian

specializing in zoology
and surgery.

- Wow!
- Yeah, I just applied

for early decision at Cornell.
It's the top veterinary school

in the country.
Sounds like you have

- your whole future planned out.
- Don't you?

Yeah.

Of course. It's really important
to know what you want.

I'm waiting to hear too.
Oh, from what school?

I don't really want
to jinx it.

Sorry, it's stressful enough.

Definitely. Oh, did you want
to ask me something?

Uh, nah, I'm... I'm good.

Um, could you show me
the circle thing again?

Yeah.

You have to press pretty hard.
OK.

Guess what I have!

Oh, the mock-up bouquet?

I totally outdid myself,
which is impressive

considering I am juggling
my shop and running this town.

Ohhh... it's beautiful!

Mmm! And I appreciate
all your hard work.

Since I took
such good care of you,

I need you to do
one thing for me.

Make sure you're the one
to catch it?

I'll be staying
in the back on the right.

OK. If you do catch it,

is there a lucky guy in mind?

Sadly, the man of my dreams
is only in my dreams.

Or maybe right
outside your door.

Yeah, right.

I gotta get these
back to the shop.

- I'll see you at home.
- Mmhmm.

Excuse me!

Hello?

What do you think
you're doing?

I was going to ask you
the same thing.

I was just picking up
a newspaper.

I like to keep up
on what's going on in town.

Actually, you're disturbing
the town. Not to mention

- you're parked illegally.
- Didn't realize.

I should write you a ticket.

- Are you a police officer?
- I'm the mayor.

Mayor of Blairsville
never complains.

You're in Middleton now or
did you not realize that either?

Hey!

OK.

Hey there.

- Everything OK?
- Everything's fine.

Of course.

- Oh! Don't look.
- Oh! OK, I'm not looking.

That screw looks
pretty stripped.

Wanna use the needle-nose
pliers and yank it out?

No, it'll split the wood.

I was gonna tackle
that door next week.

Oh, well, uh, I hope
you don't mind my jumping in.

Anything else on my list
you'd like to do, help yourself.

- Hahaha!
- I'll be in my hammock.

Hello, boys!

- Hi, Mom.
- Hello, sweetie.

You want me to help you
with those bags?

No. I've got surprises in here
and if you see them,

then they won't be surprises.

I bet your father broke that
just so he could fix it.

Hahaha! I know how he operates.

If you two are done,

could you hand me
a flathead screwdriver?

Well, I'll let
you two bond.

- You two having a fight?
- Not that I'm aware of.

- You hardly looked at her.
- I know what she looks like.

Could I have that flathead?

Thank you.

Your mom seems happy.

Yeah, she is.
I'm really glad that she found Sam.

But you miss
your dad, don't you?

- Did you know my dad?
- I only met him once,

but he's the kind of guy
you never forget.

You know, I lost my parents
when I was young,

so I get how you feel.
It's not easy.

Can you believe that
one of our esteemed citizens

just asked me to dedicate
a statue to their parakeet?

- It is a noble bird.
- I'm guessing

you're the Vincent
I've heard so much about.

- Guilty.
- Well, she is the mayor,

- she can pardon you.
- Hmm, not sure he deserves it.

Would you mind stopping by
the shop later to help me with

- the rest of the wedding flowers?
- I will be there.

Nice to meet you, Vincent.

- Hi, Stephanie.
- Adam!

- Hey.
- This place is great!

Well, thanks for saying that.
I work really hard at it.

"Nothing worth having
comes easy," right?

Theodore Roosevelt.

I'm impressed.

Now that I've impressed you,
what can I get for you?

12 cups of OJ, please.

You really like juice, huh?

Not as much as the kids
in my baseball team.

- You're a coach?!
- I try, yes.

Well, I am sure
they learn a lot from you.

I learn a lot
from them too.

You OK?

Yeah. I just love baseball.

- Do you have a favourite team?
- Uh-huh.

It's, um...

- What's your favourite team?
- Diehard Cubs.

Me too! Cubs

diehard... Ohhh! Wow!

I'm such a klutz.

- Hahaha!
- Maybe we are mismatched socks.

I'm sorry.

No, I'm sorry.
I'm gonna go get you that juice.

Thanks.

- It's pretty hot out there.
- In here too.

Four years later,
and I finally like drinking tea.

- No, you don't!
- No.

I really don't.

But I love you
for doing it for me.

There's nothing
I wouldn't do for you.

You keep talking like that,
and I might have to marry you.

How's tomorrow?

Um, I happen to have some time
on my schedule.

Hi, George.

Oh! You seem
to be on a mission.

Uh, no, I just want
to have a word with Sam.

Oh, well, your timing is perfect,
I was just heading out.

Look what I have.

It's a Middleton map.

It must be
at least a hundred years old.

- Yeah, it looks it.
- See...

- this little thing right here?
- Barely.

That's the old church.
The tree seems to be somewhere

in Foster's Wood.
So you pinpoint the church,

you're gonna be darn close
to the tree.

Looks like that's
from the 1800s.

- I guess you know your maps.
- Yeah. You can see

from the borderlines,
the colours, even the creases

in the paper.
I used one to sail

a Saudi prince's yacht
to an ancient port.

Uh, we're trying
to find the Forever Tree.

There's Merriwick family lore

that goes with it.
I wanted to surprise Cassie.

I'd love to help.
Why don't I come with you.

That... sounds great.

What inspired all this?!

I'm trying to figure
how early decision works.

The early ship has sailed.
At this point, you are late.

How late?

Only by like...
five months.

- Well, that's a problem.
- Why?

I kind of told a girl
that I met at the ranch

that I applied.

Why?

Because I was trying
to impress her.

By lying...
That is not exactly impressive.

And that's not
exactly helpful.

You want my help?

Try being honest.

As far as I could tell,

we should head
a little further south.

Yeah, yeah,
that's definitely it.

The tree's out there.
It's this way.

Looks like
you're enjoying this.

I love it, man. It's like
when I chart a destination

and head out
on the high seas.

It's just me versus nature.

- I guess it's hard to explain.
- I think you explained it

- pretty well.
- You ever feel that way?

I do, yeah.
Right before surgery.

Set a goal, conquer it.
Cassie taught me that.

I doubt Cassie used
the word "conquer."

Hahaha! That's not really
in her vocabulary,

but she always talked about
never letting your situation

get in the way
of your goals.

She'd say,
"If you follow your heart,

- you'll be successful in life."
- Now, that sounds like Cassie.

I was a handful as a kid.
She was the first person

who made me feel like...

things might be OK.

Why did you stay
away so long?

I wanted to see her,

but I was trying to make
something of myself first.

You know,
for a long time, I was

stepping up to the plate
and only hitting singles.

I wanted Cassie to see a guy
who was blasting homeruns.

- Guessing you played some ball.
- Second base.

And when I'm not on a boat,
it's where I feel most at home.

Starting to think
I misjudged you.

Yeah, I had a feeling
you didn't like me very much.

Well, tell you what,

you help me find this tree,
you'll have a friend for life.

Does effort count?
As far as I could tell,

it's one of these needles
in a haystack.

Well, let's start looking
for carved initials.

- Ooh, comfort food!
- Mmm!

Mayor Pershing.

Just leave it
on my desk.

Thanks for calling. Bye.

Kid just wants me
to fix his parking ticket.

I get calls like that
all day long.

- I could get you a slice.
- No, it's OK, I'll just eat

yours. Also, I'm taking
Martha for me today

if that's OK. She's helping me
at the flower shop.

This mayor thing
is out of control.

I'm fine with that,
but how does Martha feel?

She wants me to get her house
moved back to Middleton

- so she can be mayor again.
- What do you want? It sounds

- like you're ready to resign.
- I'm so ready,

but I'm not ready to give
Martha the satisfaction.

I better go put

the finishing touches
on the wedding flowers.

Mayor Pershing.

- Hey, where have you two been?
- Out looking

- for buried treasure.
- In Middleton? Together?

- It's a town full of surprises.
- I think it's great.

It had its moments.

I'm gonna go take a shower.

Sound like you two
found common ground.

Yeah, I guess he couldn't
resist my charm.

- Well, who could?
- Haha!

You know, being here
with you...

feels like home.

It's a home
you're always welcome in.

In that case, maybe I'll stick
around a while.

So you see, Henry,
if you use

the right turn of phrase
to say, "Get well,"

you don't even need a bouquet.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

You haven't sold

a single flower today,
have you?

Now that you mention it,
it has been rather slow.

But that hasn't stopped me
from doling out advice.

My wisdom simply cannot
be contained behind a register.

Let me guess,
you and your wisdom

would prefer to be in city hall?

You know, in my search
for Martha 2.0,

I have come
to the conclusion

that the Martha
that I like best

is, well, Mayor Martha.

Mayor Pershing.

No! I'm sorry,
I can't help you!

- What was that?
- The last straw.

Tell me you're not
putting these pictures out

- where anyone can see them.
- Throwback photos

- are a tradition at weddings.
- Our guests will love that.

- The groom won't.
- The room was an adorable kid.

No, the bride was
an adorable kid.

- I guess I was pretty cute too.
- Do I have a say in that?

Uh, only if you say
something nice.

- Haha! Pass.
- Really glad you're here, Dad.

- What did he do this time?
- Refused to admit

- that I was a cute kid.
- Haha!

Uh, do you have any newspaper
I can put under this paint?

Uh, in the recycling bin
outside the door.

Ah, OK.

Jennifer, you should try
some of my buttercream cupcakes.

- They're on the counter.
- That sounds good, thank you.

Mmm!

It's the annual flight
of the fireflies.

Come on, I was reading that.

I'm trying to paint here.

Every year, thousands of
fireflies return to a clearing

in Foster's Wood, and
they light up at the same time.

- It's really amazing to watch.
- I would love to see that.

And I'm sure
Dad would love to take you.

But we never do things
like this anymore.

OK. You wanna

see some bugs that light up?
We'll go see some bugs.

- It's a date.
- Alright.

You know, I'm really glad
you needed this newspaper;

otherwise, I never
would have seen this.

- Yeah.
- That was lucky.

Hey, you. If I'd known
you were coming,

I would have worn
my good boots.

I've been trying to connect

with that horse. I feel like
he wants to tell me something,

- but I just don't know what.
- I know how he feels.

- Sorry, what?
- Nothing.

Actually, I was hoping
we could talk.

Maybe later tonight,
we can get dessert.

How about a round
of Destination over ice cream?

Great! We can go
to the Bistro,

- and they have great Wi-Fi, so...
- Bring your Ghost Armor,

you're gonna need it.
I'm just gonna go put her away.

Come on.

We have a contract!

John, we go back a lot of years,
don't do this.

Fine. I'll leave the keys
with the harbourmaster.

Hey. Is everything OK?

Great.

Just need a little air.

Mayor Davenport,
I'm Mayor Pershing.

Absolutely. I love cats.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Actually, I'm more
of a dog person,

but you gotta keep
the constituents happy.

- You're the mayor.
- Donovan Davenport.

It's a pleasure
to officially meet you.

Did you come to give me that
ticket for disturbing the peace?

Wow, you think
you're really charming, don't you?

Doesn't matter what I think;

- it's all about the voters.
- I vote no.

Well, lucky for me
you don't live in Blairsville.

Unlucky for you,
Martha Tinsdale does.

- What can I do for you?
- You can agree to a deal

to return the town line
to where it was,

so that Martha can become
a citizen of Middleton again.

And what's in it for me?

Or should I say Blairsville?

Goodwill between our towns.

- What do you want?
- Actually, I want to keep

things the way they are.

Martha's a formidable political
opponent; why would I want

to make it possible for her
to return office?

And I'm not
a formidable opponent?

You said it, not me.
Now if you don't mind,

I have work to do.

It would appear so do I.

You open it!
No. I'll open it!

It's the same dress
as it was in the last fitting.

I know, but three weeks ago,
we didn't have the shoes,

jewelry, veil. I am finally
going to be able to see you

as a complete bride.

What is it?

It's probably nothing.

You don't get that look
over nothing.

Oh no!
What's wrong?

It's been eaten by moths.

It's ruined.
