Cassie Nightingale, we have a problem.

Besides the buzzing in my ears?

- Buzzing reminds me

which Autumn clearly is not.

Oh. Can you be more specific?

The problem is she's not being specific

As far as I can tell,
she doesn't have any.

Well, I know she's arranged

We'll be all dressed

I know that Autumn is your dear friend;

I just don't think
she understands how important

Halloween is to Middleton.

This bonfire needs to be our Mona Lisa,

and she's treating it
more like a paint by numbers.

Hmm. Well, Martha, you know
the creative process takes time.

Of course, I mean...

But unfortunately,
time is not on our side.

take a peek at plan A.

I can hardly wait.

Since there are so many
carved pumpkins, I decided

to incorporate them into the design.

The unity of the glow
of the jack-o'-lanterns

and the historic lampposts will be

in perfect rhythm to highlight

the focal point of it all.

The dancing flames of the bonfire.

Capturing the overall theme...

Of harmony and happiness.

I knew from the moment we met
you were capable of greatness.

Thank you.

Now, we just have

we fall two steps back.

Middleton faced
this same problem in 1891.

Warding off corn-eating birds?

Warding off a disharmony
that had befallen the town.

So history is repeating itself.

Elizabeth realised a bonfire
would bring everyone together

and the sweeping gesture
of tossing the petals of a rose,

the symbol of love and positivity,

into the fire, would return

happiness and harmony to the town.

Well... I'm not exactly feeling happiness

or harmony at the moment.
Autumn, come with me,

we're on official damage control.

It's a pumpkin, not a yacht.

Failing to prepare is preparing to fail.

A successful woman like you knows that.

- Flowing inland, so the current

will be slow. It's gonna take
manpower to keep this moving.

with the glorious glow

of our Halloween bonfire.

George, the stage is yours.

(NERVOUS CHUCKLE)

George, I'm sorry,
perhaps you misunderstood.

Light her up.

(EXCLAMATIONS)

(APPLAUSE)

- Ooh! Ooh!
- Now that's a fire.

Ooh!

You were right, I'm not
leaving Middleton disappointed.

We're glad to hear that.

You've created quite the spectacle.

I've had a lot of encouragement.

Now, I assume we'll have a full
feature in next month's issue?

I can do you one better:
you'll have the entire cover.

What a prestigious
and well deserved honour!

I have a car waiting
to take me to the airport,

but I'd love to get a few more pictures.

Our bonfire is your bonfire.
I'll walk with you.

Ahh... Well, I'm glad
everything worked out.

Me too.

I'm sorry things happened
the way they did in college.

I really was just trying to help.

You have nothing to apologise for.

You were right.

What we give power has power.

It's amazing what we're capable of

when we stop getting in our own way.

- Hey, what are you doing?
- I'm in your office. You?

Ah! I guess great minds do think alike.

You're at the bonfire, aren't you?

Since you lost the bet, I
figured you could use consoling.

Don't gloat, it's not a good look.

I would never. Head on back,
I'll wait for you here.

- Goodbye, Ms. Thurlow.
- Goodbye, dear.

Ms. Thurlow...?

You seem surprised.

I'm just used to calling you Samantha.

Did you ever live at
211 Circle Cliffs Drive?

I grew up there.

I bet they used to call you Sam.

Only one person

ever called me that. My fiancé, Steven.

Steven Radford?

Seeing you always reminds me

that I would've been Sam Radford.

Steven got in a car accident
two days before our wedding.

I'm sorry. It was a long time ago.

This belongs to you.

It was addressed to Sam Radford.
It's been lost in the mail.

We found this four-leaf clover
on our first date.

Steven must've wanted to surprise you.

It's got a tiny inscription, "ti amo".

We were going to go
to Italy on our honeymoon.

Thank you.

Well, we may not have broken a record,

- but at least we failed together.
- Hmm.

If we can get through this,
we can get through anything.

(LAUGHING)

Yoo-hoo! Everyone,
may I have your attention?

Tonight we revive a wonderful tradition.

Commencing many moons ago, on an all
Hallow's Eve much like this one,

Elizabeth Merriwick
led the very first tossing

of the rose petals. It is my
very great honour to say,

Middleton, raise your petals.

On three, we will toss as one.

One... two...

Hold your horses, Martha.

Tom Tinsdale! What
on earth are you doing?

This is a momentous occasion.

It certainly is.

Many Halloweens ago, you made me
the happiest man in the world

by agreeing to be my wife.

Thirty years later,
I am more sure than ever

that I asked the right question.

- Oh, Tom...
- So I'm gonna ask it again.

Right here, in front of all
these people... my constituents?

- I thought you'd forgotten.
- I had to throw you off

my tracks somehow. You are
an Olympic-level tab-keeper.

That I am.

(CROWD MURMURS)

Martha, will you marry me? Again?

I should never have doubted you.

Yes, yes, yes,

a trillion times yes!

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

- Congratulations, you two.
- Thank you, Cassie.

You knew all along, didn't you?

Let's try this again.
Everyone, raise your petals.

One... two... three.

- Hey, where are you?
- [I'M STANDING IN MY OFFICE.]

- You're kidding, right?
- [YUP.]

If that's how you gloat,
you can gloat anytime.

- Impressive display.
- Not impressive enough.

Maybe I can help with that.

You brought us pumpkins?

51, to be exact. Congratulations,

Middleton just broke our record.

You know what this means, don't you?

- You won the bet.
- I won a lot more than that.

Mmm. That's nice.

- Just nice?
- Very nice.

- You know what's nicer?
- Tell me.

A moonlit drive,

- top down, wind in our hair.
- Keep talking.

Why keep talking when...

your chariot awaits?

Ahh... a girl could get used to this.

Could she get used to that?

It's beautiful. I just love
that you did all this.

I really wanted the night to be perfect.

I thought about finding you
a four-leaf clover,

but the odds are 1 in 10,000.

But then I found something better...

A lotus flower.

A symbol of perfection.

Like the man I married.

(CHUCKLING)

I've been trying so hard

to make our first Halloween
as husband and wife perfect...

then I realised...

it doesn't matter

if our boat sprung a leak,
or our dinner got flooded,

or our kitchen filled with smoke...

Love's not about being perfect.

It's about being perfect together.

That four-leaf clover

may be 1 in 10,000, but you,

Sam Radford, are one in forever.
