Good Witch.
- We Merriwick women just
know how to make things

happen the way we want them to.
- Good for you.

- It's the easier way, isn't it?
- Easier than what?

- Than doing the real work.
- I know it's hard,
but after a breakup,

what you need to do is get
right back up on the horse.

- And it does feel good to know

that there are options
out there when I'm ready.

- Finally seeing the value
in some of my natural remedies?

- No, I'm sticking with science.
(Cassie chuckling)

- I just thought
it'd be a good idea to combine

our different perspectives.
- It's a good thing we did.

♪♪♪

- Ah! Good morning!
I have some fresh muffins!

- I know! I followed the scent
all the way down the stairs.

What are you working on?

- An assignment
for my creative writing class.

- (Abigail) You want to read me
what you have so far?

- I would love to,
but I haven't been

creative enough to do
any actual writing.

- She's looking for some ideas.
- What about a romance

with all sorts of adventure?
- Ooh, or a really good mystery.

- Yeah, but a mystery
about what?

And an adventure about who?

If this is what
writer's block feels like,

then I don't think I'm ever
gonna make it as a writer.
Or a block.

- Sometimes, inspiration arrives
when we least expect it.

- Well, let's just hope
it arrives before tomorrow

because that is when
this assignment is due.

- Anybody order
an old trunk?

- Ohhh... I was wondering
when that was gonna get here.

- Well, it's here.
- Where is this from?

- The Art Institute in Chicago
called me a few weeks ago and
said that they had this on loan

so long, they didn't even know
where it came from.

But the last known address
was Grey House; they asked
if we wanted it back.

- Yeah. People used to use
these old steamer trunks

as luggage back in the day,

which is even
before my day.

- I don't think they would allow
that as a carry-on anymore.

- Imagine trying to slip this
under the seat in front of you.

(laughing)
- Let's see what's inside.

- Oh! OK, how does it open?

- Some latches here,
but it looks

complicated
(clattering)

♪♪♪

Well, just like that.

- Well, it looks like whoever
owned this did not pack light.

- Ooh, but they had
good taste in clothes.

- This dress is beautiful!

- Oh, someone looked
adventurous.

(man chuckling)
- I do like that.

- Although I can't say

that I share
her taste in shoes.

This wouldn't go
with anything in my closet.

- Who do you think
all this stuff belonged to?

- Probably whoever lived here
in the 1930s.

- Elizabeth Merriwick
lived here then.

- You think all this was hers?
- It sure looks like it.

She travelled all over the
world and did all sorts
of different things.

♪♪♪
- And she looked

amazing while doing it.
- That would look good on you.

- Really?
- Mm-hmm.

- Wearing that would be
like wearing a little
piece of history.

(man chuckling)
- That's what's so great

about vintage clothes:
you never know

what exciting events
they might have witnessed.

It's like they each have
their own story to tell.

(indistinct chatter)

Hello, Andrew.
- Cassie.

- Some nice work, isn't it?
- It is.

- Yeah, the artist
who took these made

an excellent living capturing
the perfect moments in time.

- Hmm... He really did.

- Are those headaches
still bothering you?

- Yeah. The peppermint tea
you gave me, it didn't
make them any better,

but I did learn
I like peppermint tea.

- Well, that's something.
Did we try lavender oil?

- We did, but...
- There's one more thing in here

that might help
make things better.

- What's that?
- Hello, Sam.

- Hi.
- We were just
talking about you.

- We were?
- I've been trying to help

Andrew with his headaches
he's been having,

but I think it's time
to get a doctor's opinion.

- You want a doctor's opinion?
- A certain doctor, yeah.

- Although I was hoping to find
a more natural solution.

- I'm not anti-natural.

- No, and Dr. Radford
has been pretty open-minded

since he moved to Middleton.
- Happy to run a few tests if
you want to discover root cause.

- And in the meantime,
I'll get you started
on some other aromatherapies.

But first, I've got
to help the Mayor.

- Oh, is the Mayor here?
- Wait for it.

- (woman): Yoohoo!
- (Cassie): Excuse me. Haha!

- Cassie... Cassie, I need

your undivided attention.
- How can I help you?

- I need a grand-looking
picture frame,

something to showcase
an item of great importance.

- I might have something
like that right over here.

- Good, because I have
a VIP guest

visiting this week
from my alma mater,

and I want to frame my diploma
and hang it on the wall

to show my school spirit.
- Why haven't you framed
that before?

- Oh, because in my day,
a Everhill degree

hardly met a thing. I mean,
they just used to let in anyone.

But since then, they've
turned into a very well
respected school.

- And you're one of its
most noteworthy graduates.
- Well, I don't want to brag,

but I certainly wouldn't
stop you from doing it,

so keep it up.
(laughing)

No. Really, I mean,
keep it up.

- Oh, well, um, let's find
something that shows off

what a distinguished
alumni you are.

- There you go. Oooh!

♪♪♪

- It looks great on you.

- It fits kind of perfectly too.

Why would Elizabeth Merriwick
have a jacket like this?

- Maybe she was
an aviation pioneer,

like Amelia Earhart
or Beryl Markham.

- Who's Beryl Markham?

- The first woman to fly solo
across the Atlantic

from east to west.
- How have I not heard of her?

- History's full
of remarkable women

whose stories
never got told,

just like Elizabeth Merriwick.

- I bet she had some
really good ones to tell.

And I finally figured out
what I want to write about.

(theme music)

- Oh, I remember
when this picture was taken.

- You suggested right
where we should have
the photographer set up.

- Everything looked
so different back then.

- We all looked
different back then,

but I remember having such
a wonderful time and I can't

believe it's taken us all
these years to get back here.

- Is your daughter
here with you?

Not yet, but she's getting in
later tonight

and then, hopefully, we'll have
some good mother-daughter time

before she has
to rush back to work.

- Hmm... Well, I hope
your memories of this trip

live up to what you remember
about the last one.

Oh, George, did you want

to see what the garden in front
of Grey House used to look like?

- I do!

Oh...

that's before the evergreens
grew in, and I transplanted

these rose bushes around
the other side of the house.

- They still bloom, don't they?
- Practically all year.

It's like there's some magic
in the soil.

- Hmm... Maybe we can
put things back

the way they were
when this pic was taken.

- You want to re-landscape?

- Just so Joanna and
her daughter can take a picture

like the one they took before.
- Oh!

I've heard of people doing that.
- Yeah, I can help you move

the small trees out of the way,
and we can put these flowers

back in the pots.
- You know, I think

we still have those pots
back in the shed.

- Um, that's a good thing
you saved them then.

- You are the one who told me,
"Make sure

you don't toss those out."

- And they have

an international dorm
and integrated study programs,

and they even let you
design your own majors.

- But I thought you want
to go somewhere farther away

from Middleton.
- Yeah, I did,

but now I don't.
- Sounds like it would be

a good place for you.
- It would be perfect for me.

- Do they have a good
creative writing department?

- They have
a good everything department.

- OK, I wasn't even thinking
about Everhill

because I wanted
to go out of State,

but now I'll want
to give it another look.

- Except the deadline for trying
to get an interview is past.

I'm still waiting
to find out where mine is,

it's happening for sure.

- Well, I can still visit you
after you get in.

- Uh, if I get in.

- Oh, come on, you're
one of the most qualified

college applicants that I know.
Between your volunteer work,

good grades

- Thanks.

- And will I be seeing you
for breakfast tomorrow morning?

- Maybe.
- Why not?

- I said, "Maybe."
- Yes, but you didn't say

"for sure." Is it because
you don't like the eggs here?

- The eggs are fine.
They taste like eggs.

- So they're not "a tad dry"
like someone posted
on my website?

- Oh, that's
what this is about.

- "The scrambled eggs
were a tad dry,"

"the blueberry muffin too sweet

Then, they rated me
one star out of five.

- Well, they clearly know
nothing about fine dining.

to find out who wrote it.
And everyone is a suspect.

- How do you even know that
your food critic is from here?
- Oh, they're from here.

All their other reviews are
of Middleton's businesses too.

And everything that they write
is a complaint about something.

The part where
Elizabeth Merriwick is flying

across the Atlantic and about to
run out of fuel is so exciting.

And the romance
with the navigator?

I've never used the word

"spoonworthy" before,
but I might have to start.

- Well, thank you.
- That aviator jacket

must have really inspired you.
- Yeah.

I think it did too.

I put it on,

and I couldn't help
but wonder

where this jacket has been

and what was going on

when Elizabeth
was wearing it.

- Well, you had me believing
every single word.

- So, would you be interested

in reading one more story

- Another Elizabeth
Merriwick adventure?

- Mhm.
- Absolutely.

so late last night.

I had so many things to finish
before I got here.

that you did.

- How are you enjoying the room?
- Oh, it's OK,

but do you have
one with a workspace?

- Oh, you know,
those were already booked.

- Oh, well, I guess it's OK
for while we're here.

(chuckling)

- This is starting to look good!
- Yeah.

- Yeah, it's sort of like
taking a trip back through time.

If only my back would
go there with me.

- Is this where we took
the picture?

- You were both standing right
there, each holding a bouquet.
- You spent so much time

digging around in that garden,
and I spent just as much time

pulling you out so you wouldn't
get the dress dirty

before the photographer
showed up.

- I was wondering if you might
be interested in using
the same one.

He closed his studio,
but if you give me some time,

I might be able to find out
where he lives.

- That would be great.
- Oh, and there are

some boutiques in town
where you could probably find

outfits like the ones
you were wearing back then.

- Oh, I didn't realize we were
gonna do everything so exact.

- Oh, it doesn't have
to be exact,

just close enough
to how things used to be.

- Can you use
a couple of helpers

to get these trees
out of the ground?

- Anyone's welcome
to pick up a shovel.

And then we can set

that arbour back up if you're
willing to give me a hand.

- I wouldn't mind at all.
You get started

with this tree, and I'll get
started on the other side.

And this time,
get as dirty as you want.

- Well, the good news is
you're in nearly perfect health.

The bad news is I don't know
what's causing your headaches.

Your EKG, blood pressure,
cholesterol are all
within range.

- I was hoping
you'd have some answers

for me, you know.
Got even less sleep

than normal wondering
what might be wrong with me.

- You've had a change
in your sleep pattern?

- I guess. From not much
to hardly any.

- Any big changes going
on in your life? Are you
experiencing any stress?

- Not really. I mean,
I got a promotion at work,

but I'm not moving offices
for another two or three months.

- What kind of work do you do?
- I'm an accountant.

- Ah! Well, seeing
a computer all day,

the eyestrain could be
a contributing factor.

- Cassie suggested I take
a break for a few minutes

each hour and go out
and enjoy the nature around us.

- Cassie suggested that, huh?

That's actually pretty good
medical advice.

But I'd still like
to run a few more tests,

find out if it's
anything more than that.

she recommended I see you.
Kind of surprised too.

the time period

of when the adventure
took place. You must have done

hours of research to get
all the details so right.

- No. No, I...

sort of just made it up
as I went along.

- That's because the Merriwicks
all have such active
imaginations.

I never know what's gonna
burst forth from any of them.

was stunning.

You have real talent, Grace,

which is why I wanted the Mayor
to know about your story

to see if she could
get you an interview

with the representative
from Everhill.

- Ooh, I thought

it was too late

just as proudly
as I display mine.

As soon as Jared puts it

As soon as you're finished,
I'll show both stories

that I came up with the same
stories that were written

in that journal, like,
a hundred years ago.

- Are you sure you didn't read

a different version
of this journal or hear

the stories from someone?
- No.

All the things that I know
about Elizabeth Merriwick

were things that my mom
told me, and none of us...

none of us have
ever seen that.

an explanation.

- Oh, please,
I am waiting to hear it.

- You're a Merriwick.

You are related to Elizabeth,

you are connected to

the dramatic effect?

Draw out the suspense
at all the right moments?

Tap you on the shoulder

- No, I... came up
with everything on my own, but--

- Then I don't see what
the problem is. Yes, it's weird,

but that doesn't mean
you cheated!

- I just... I feel
like I had an unfair advantage.

- Of course you had
an unfair advantage,

you're a Merriwick! Grace,

are you really gonna say no
to every opportunity

just because you happen to be
related to some amazing women?

I mean, I'm talking about
Elizabeth, but there's
also me and your mom.

When Elizabeth lived,

women had to be
brave and creative

and take advantage
of every situation,

So, do you want
to be like her...

or are you gonna let
someone else write your story?

prescribing chicken soup,

Andrew said you sent him
by the Bistro to try it out.

- Yeah, that wasn't for
his headache, that was just

ever passes for medicine, you're
gonna put me out of me business.

- You know, studies have shown
that certain ingredients

in chicken soup
have medicinal value?

- You know what else
has medicinal value?

Medicine.

Oh yeah, that's right.

- He's never said.
You know, he talks more

about anything else

that you deserve it more
than they do.

- But what if I don't?
- Grace, you earned it

fair and square

because of your stories.
- There are other people

who deserve it
a lot more than I do.

- And it's humility like that

that's gonna make you
the perfect Everhill alumna.

So make sure you drop
a bit of it in your interview;

it'll slay.

- Mom?! What are you doing here?

- Oh, some guests at Grey House
were trying to track down

a photographer.
His business is closed,

but I was digging up an address.
Were you talking to the Mayor?

- Yeah.
- About what?

- Just school stuff.
- What kind of stuff?

- Nothing really.

- Mm-hmm.

You ready for your
big interview?
- I guess so.

- Don't be too nervous. I'm sure
they'll be very impressed

with someone
as creative and kind

and considerate
as you are.

I'll see you at home.

♪♪♪

- Are you sure
this is the right place?

- It's the address
Cassie texted me.

- The photographer lives here?
- All she said was,

"You'll find what you're looking
for at 22, Olympic Lane."

- Can I help you?

- Yes, we're looking
for Jonathan Gillespie.

- That was my dad.
He passed away a few years back.

- Oh, I'm sorry.
- Was he a photographer?

- He was.
- So Cassie was right.

- Oh, Cassie Nightingale?
- Yes. We're staying at her B&B.

- We've been spending the last
few days trying to recreate
a photo your father took for us.

- Well, I used
to help him out as a kid.

I actually have a bunch
of his equipment in my garage.

Do you have the photo?
I'd love to see it.

- Yes. It's right here.
Your father was very talented.

Everyone who sees
this photo loves it.

- Yeah, my mom always said
he was a great artist

but a poor businessman.
It's why I never followed him

into photography. Didn't think
you could make a living at it.

I actually

remember this photo.
I helped print it.

That's you.

- (chuckling): Yeah.
- You just can't get

this kind of classic look
from a digital camera.

- Do you still have the camera
that your dad used that day?

- Sure, yeah. A portrait
like this, he'd use the
same one all the time.

- Would you be willing
to take our picture?

- Mom! That's not what he does!

- I was just thinking.
We're trying to get things

as close to how they were
back then...

- I always loved
to help him out.

- Would you maybe want to take
a photo of us at Grey House?

- I could do that. I... I...

I'd love to do that.

- How about tomorrow?
- I think I can get

off work early. Around 4:30?

- Oh, I was hoping to get back
on the boat by then.

- You just got here;

can't you stay at least
until the end of the day?

- Uh... I guess I can.

Sure.
- Wonderful!

(Mary chuckling)

(door closing)

- Oh, good! You're still here.
I was afraid you'd changed

your mind. Are you ready
for your interview?

- I think so.
- You know,

it's moments like these
that can change

a person's life.

- Sure.

- I am certain that they're
gonna be very impressed

with what you have to say.
- I hope that they are.

- (woman): Grace Russell?

Well, looks like I'm next.

- Well then, your future awaits.

- "Best chicken soup
I've ever had.

"Absolute perfection.

"If could give the Bistro
six stars instead of five,

I would." Ohhh...

- I wonder how someone came up
with words like that.

- It must have just been
what was in their heart.

- Mm-hmm. Then I'm glad
it ended up on your website.

- Me too.

And I have decided
to take Liam's advice

about my reviews
and only read the good ones

instead of all the bad ones.
Ooh, like this one.

"From the attractive,
welcoming owner,

"to the local décor,
this is the perfect place

"to stop in the middle
of a difficult day.

"And their perfectly mixed
ice coffees with caramel

really hit the sweet spot."

- That's more
than just a review;

sounds like you have an admirer.
- You think?

- How many reviews call
the restaurant owner attractive?

- Ah. Maybe you're right.

And I have also decided
that it does not matter

who Gourmet Eater 428 is
anymore either,

no matter what they say
about my scrambled eggs.

- Good for you.

- Oh! I have been
on the go all morning,

but now I finally have time
for a late breakfast.

Stephanie, could I get
a latte, a blueberry muffin

and an order
of scrambled eggs, please?

(gasping)
♪♪♪

- It was you!
- What was who?

You're Gourmet Eater 428

The one that said
her scrambled eggs were too dry,

her blueberry muffin was too
sweet and her latte
was too frothy?!

- Ah, I thought these reviews
were supposed to be anonymous.

- Martha, you gave me
a one-star review! One star!

You used words
like "barely edible"

and "in need
of drastic improvements."

- Yes. As a public service.

(Abigail laughing)
- How is trashing

Stephanie's food
a public service?

- That was meant to challenge
her, so she'd keep making

things better than they already
are. Oh, I love your food,

dear, you know that.
- OK, but why didn't
you write that then?

- Because you would have rested
on your laurels, but Gourmet
Eater kept you on your toes.

Just like I keep lots of other
businesses on their toes too.

Look at Abigail. She was
being somewhat brusque
with her customers,

then after I gave
the flower shop a bad review,

things changed overnight.
- You were Flower Lover 644?!

- In the flesh. All I know is
after my review,

the food here got even better,
so I consider this

another interweb success.
Oh, look,

there's Larry the plumber.
I have been wanting him

to paint his trucks,
so let's see

if Leaky Faucet 1-2-3
gets his attention.

(Abigail chuckling)

- I can't believe I've been
all happy and smiley

with people because of her.
- Well, it probably is

good for business.
- Yeah, but you now much effort

it takes to be nice?
(Stephanie sniggering)

- Hey, how's it going?
- Aaah...

much better actually.

I decided to take
your advice about the reviews,

and I think that I might
actually have some admirers.

- Well, you deserve them.
- Awww! What can I get for you?

- I'll have my usual.
Perfectly mixed ice coffee

with caramel. It always hits
that sweet spot

in the middle
of a difficult day.

- Coming right up!

- (Cassie): How do you like it?
- It looks perfect!

I can't believe
you got everything to match.

- Cassie really wanted things
to be just as they were
20 years ago.

- It looks like they are.
- And Abigail dropped these by.

- Daisy mums!

- Just like the ones you picked.

- I painted the bench green, so
it looks just like it used to.

- Oh, it's the wrong colour.
- I might be able to adjust it

when I develop the photo.
- You don't need to bother.

- It's just we spent
so much time

making everything else
so right.

- Which is
everything I wanted.

I didn't realize it
'til we got here, but...

I just wanted
time with you.

And if we hadn't worked so hard
to recreate this photo,

I don't think
we would have had that.

You would have been gone
so much earlier today,

and the other day,
we actually gardened together.

(both chuckling)

And when I look back
at this picture we take today,

it will be all that time
that I think about,

not the colour
of the bench.

- Well then, I guess
it's all perfect.

(laughing)

(camera click)
- Oh! I didn't have time

to fix my hair
and check how I look.

- I was just testing
the camera.

- Oh!
- You both looked wonderful,

and Andrew captured
the right moment exactly,

one you'll both
remember forever.

Hello, Courtney.

- What did you say?

- What?

- To the Everhill interviewer.

She called and said that
after her interview with you,

they wanted to offer me
a letter of acceptance.

- So you got in.
- Congratulations!

- But what did you say?

- Uh... I just...

I... talked.

- About what?

(sighing)

Grace, you know I'm gonna
stand here until I find
out what I want.

- It's true.

OK, uh...

I went in there,

and I told her

a story about a girl

who was fearless

and kind and...

full of life.

Someone that is the best friend
that anyone could ever have.

And then, I told her
that I was talking about you...

...and how Everhill would be
lucky to have someone

like Courtney Gunderson
as a student there.

- You said all of that?

- Yeah, I mean, I added,
like, some suspense

and adventure,
some drama, but...

all of it was true.

- Thanks.

- You're welcome.

- So wait, does that mean that
you're not gonna be going there?

- I don't know
where I want to go.

Or what exactly
I even want to study.

- Hmm...
Well, if you need someone

to tell anybody about
what a great friend you are,

- I'll make sure
that I'm gonna call you.

(chuckling)
- OK, I should get home.

My parents want to take me out
to celebrate.

- Yeah, you're...
you're gonna do great there.

- Thanks.
- Yeah.

- And I mean,

really, thank you.

- Mhm.

♪♪♪

(door closing)

(second door closing)

- (Cassie): It was
an amazing thing you did.

♪♪♪
- Maybe.

But I didn't want
to do it at first.

That's why I went to Abigail
for advice instead of you.

- Advice for what?

- When they gave me
the interview,

they took it away
from Courtney.

And I just barely looked
for a way to give it back.

But there wasn't anything
that I could do.

- I don't see
how that's your fault.

- Because they gave it to me

because of the stories
that I wrote,

which weren't
exactly mine.

Abigail knew that, and I figured
that she would tell me to go
to the interview anyways.

- What do you mean?
They aren't yours?

- There is something else

that I haven't
told you about.

(sighing)
This...

is Elizabeth
Merriwick's journal.

It came from the Art Institute.

Everything I wrote

looks like it already
happened to her.

- So, you were
inspired by her.

- Yeah. Only it felt
like what I was doing

was copying her,
even though I never saw

that journal until
after I wrote what I wrote.

- Then, you couldn't
have known.

- Yeah, but, Mom,

there it is.

(soft music)

- I feel like I'm inspired by
Elizabeth Merriwick every day.

There's nothing wrong

with writing down

whatever inspiration
might come to us.

- But what is wrong...

...is that I went to Abigail
because I knew

that she was going to tell me
what I wanted to hear.

And that you were

probably going to tell me
something different.

- But you got
to the right place in the end,

and that means
the right kind of inspiration

had been working
on you all along.

- Maybe it was.

- Some day,
someone might write

a story about you, so...

make sure your life
is a good one.

(doorbell ringing)

Let me see who that is.

(exhaling)

Andrew!
- Hello!

- What are you doing here?
- We are going on a date.

- Ohhh... I think
that's a wonderful idea.

- I had set aside some
time to be with my mother,
but then Andrew called

telling me about this place that
serves amazing chicken soup...

- It is really good.
- So he and I are

going out tonight and tomorrow,
I'm gonna spend another day
in Middleton with Mom.

- Oh, I didn't know
you had time for that.

- I'm making the time.
- Mm-hmm.

(Sam sighing)
- Andrew.

- Dr. Radford.
Mary, this is the doctor

who helped Cassie figure out
what was wrong with me.

- I didn't realize
we'd figured it out.

- It was stress
just like you said,

about the job, but I figured out
a way to get rid of that.

- Are you giving up
your promotion?

- I'm looking at doing
photography full time

'cause I think I can
make a living at it.

- Andrew's talking about using
his dad's old equipment

and opening his own studio.
- And I already feel better

just thinking about doing that
with the rest of my life.

(laughing)
But it was the two of you

that got me there, so thanks.

- Well, you're welcome.
- Hmm... Have a great night.

- We will.
- See you.

- Have a good one.

- Looks like he's gonna be OK.
- Yeah, it does.

- One thing he said earlier
concerned me though.

- What's that?
- That comment he made

about me being your helper.
- Haha! You caught that, huh?

- Haha! I didn't realize
you were in charge.

- Well, we hadn't really
decided that officially.

- So I was just
your assistant.

- Oh, it doesn't really matter
who's the boss, does it?

- Wait. You're the boss now?

- All I know
is that we work well together.

- Uh-huh?
- But, you know, I could use

some help in here
making some tea.

- Well, just make
mine coffee.

- Well, you're the boss.
(Sam laughing)

- That's... something.
