- Previously on Good Witch... - This is my sister.

Joanne. I didn't come here for you to fix this,

I came here because I wanted to see you.

As mother of the bride, I think it's best that I take over everything.

You said you never wanted to get married again.

I just know I don't want to risk that kind of failure.

Oh! Thank you. Hello.

- Delivery. - Oh, good morning.

- You ordered these. - I did. Thanks.

Did you want to order any more for the guest rooms

- at Grey House? - These are perfect.

Great!

Oh, you're that flower shop owner. Did you get my message?

Yes, I have already cancelled the order for the wedding.

No, no, don't cancel everything. I'll have

my florist contact you and I need you to work with her,

piecing together some of your work into...

something more majestic.

Hm... Well, I look forward to that phone call.

Elizabeth!

- Can I help you find something? - Do you have any rooms

available at Grey House for the next few nights?

I've got my experts coming in for the festivities

- and they need somewhere to stay. - I'm afraid I don't.

I'm doing some painting there this week.

Well, that's poor timing.

Hm. Well, I should have known to think ahead.

Oh, Elizabeth. What are you doing here?

Just another day of wedding planning.

You really should let Martha in on what you're thinking.

She knows a thing or two about making sure a wedding

happens right on schedule.

Well, I suppose I could

put you in charge of the wedding party gifts.

Oh, I'd be more than happy to help. You know, I remember

seeing a pen set in here that people would really like.

You do, though!

- Hey. - Hey!

Um, what'd you put for the extra credit answer

- on Mister Schick's quiz? - Washington, Jefferson,

- Roosevelt, Lincoln. - What did you put?

- Um, I put The Beatles. - Oh! Well, that should give you

- a few points for creativity. - That's exactly

- what I was thinking. - I'm gonna head home.

- I'll call you later? - Yeah.

Bye.

So, where's Courtney?

- I don't know. - Except you guys are

- always together. - And if she had her way,

we'd be together even more.

Hey. What's that supposed to mean?

I've...

been thinking maybe we should break up.

And does she know that's what you've been thinking about?

I don't know. I doubt it.

She's going to be really hurt.

- Is she? - Yeah, a lot.

Let me know when it happens.

That way I can be there for both of you after it does.

- Hey! - Oh, Hi!

What are you doing?

Just reading.

Hm.

- Is something wrong? - No!

I'm gonna try that again;

Do you wanna tell me what's wrong?

Um...

Your sister and I have been talking about, um...

how you never want to get married again.

Ah... Hm.

Mm-hm...

- So, how come you never told me? - Didn't I?

- Uh-uh. - Cassie...

marriage...

was just something I was not any good at.

And...

...I don't wanna put somebody that I love so much

through something that I'm...

probably just gonna mess up.

So you decided

for both of us that it's not even a possibility.

Are we really... looking that far into the future?

No, we don't have to be, but...

well, it just, uh,

makes things a little bit different, that's all.

I guess it does, yeah.

So, what do we do now?

I don't know.

- How goes the wedding planning? - I don't know,

we're just kind of hiding out here.

My mom's taken the reins, so we're sorta...

hanging on for the ride.

I was so happy when Vanessa told me she didn't want

- a big fancy wedding. - I'm just looking

forward to the part where we get to say "I do",

and then the being married part after that.

Well, I hope it ends up being a memorable day for everyone.

Aah...

- May I? - Oh! Sure.

These are interesting.

- Where are they from? - All over.

I keep coins in here from different countries

I've been to. They aren't worth much

but they each have special meaning.

You can both take one if you want

to toss them off the footbridge together.

- What footbridge? - Well, there's an old tradition

where couples who are about to get married walk across

the footbridge that goes over Eternity Creek,

and you toss a coin into the stream below.

It's a way of bringing good luck

and a long marriage.

By the time you get to the other side

it's as if you've crossed over into your new life together.

Hm! This is the kind of thing everybody does in Middleton?

I know, it's kind of corny.

I actually think it's nice. Thanks.

You're welcome.

Hey, Mom, I thought you were working with Elizabeth.

- Oh, I am. - That's why I'm here.

Ahem! Well, she set me up for a tuxedo fitting, so...

Are you gonna be wearing a tuxedo?!

Yeah, I don't know how comfortable I'm gonna be

- in one of those things, but... - We're just trying to go along

with whatever makes everybody happy.

See you later.

Yes, of course! Aah...

Oh! Martha,

are you still looking for wedding party gifts?

No, Elizabeth took me off that duty.

And you're just gonna do what she says?

I've decided to let the mother of the bride call the shots

in order to keep the peace. And honestly,

if Michael and Vanessa get a wedding they remember,

- it'll all be worth it. - I'm sure they'll appreciate

- your efforts. - Hm. Elizabeth has sent me

on a new mission; to find the perfect reading for the ceremony.

You have anything in particular in mind?

I really have no idea. Maybe a poem? Or something else

a little less common than what we so often hear, you know:

"Love is patient, love is kind", whatever that's from.

Hm... I don't think I have the right thing

here...

but I'll look at my friend's bookstore and I'll

make sure I bring it back to you in time for the wedding.

Oh, would you? Otherwise whoever's officiating

is gonna be standing up there with nothing to say.

Hm. Whoever's standing up there will have plenty to say.

And I'm sure I'm not the only one who can't wait to hear it.

- Hey! - Hey.

- Is your phone off? - I... don't think so.

- Oh. I texted you. - Oh, yeah, I... I got those.

And you know there's a reply button on your phone, right?

- Yeah. Sorry. - It's OK.

Um, so... listen,

there's something I want to talk about...

Oh wait, me too. Uh...

Cindy Postma said that she's having a bunch of people

over this weekend and she asked if we wanted to go.

Um...

Yeah! Sure.

Great!

OK. I'm gonna get something to eat. You want anything?

No thanks.

The valerian should help you sleep,

so come back and see me when you've got some good rest.

Thank you.

Oh, Joanne!

- Hey, Cassie. - Hi.

I was wondering if you had any more of that oat straw tea

- you brought the other night? - Did it help with your energy?

You know, it seemed to, a little bit.

I'm so glad. You know, I have something else you should try.

- Yeah? - Yup. It's Ashwagandha extract.

Here. Yeah, it'll help boost the immune system

and it'll slow down the degeneration of brain cells.

Good, because I can use all the help I can get

- with what's up here. - Ah.

Hey, um, Sam seemed... kind of distracted

when he came home last night. You two OK?

- We'll be fine. - What happened?

We just... see life

a little differently, that's all.

So... where do you go from here?

I have a friend in Chicago.

She has a book store and I go there a couple times a year

to stock up. She always has good things

to say about what's going on in my life.

Then when's the next time you're gonna go see her?

I was thinking about driving there sometime this week.

My bookshelves are getting a little low.

Well,

I hope you bring back some really interesting finds.

I always do.

Thanks for this.

Sure.

- Hey, Sam. - Hey.

- Is your mother around? - No...

She didn't tell you she was leaving?

No, we haven't really talked since last night.

Where did she go?

Thank you.

- Welcome to the Windsor Arms. - Always good to be here.

- So what brings you to Chicago? - Well, I need to do

a little shopping and, um, I'm here to see a friend.

- How was your drive? - Good! I made it in 3 hours.

- Olympia. - Cassie!

Oh! You made it right on time.

Yes, and it's so good to be here.

I've been picking out a few things that I thought

might go well in your shop. But of course,

you can browse around for more.

Always a bit of a treasure hunt in here.

Well, then I hope you find some gold.

So how are things? How's Grace?

- She has a boyfriend. - Oh! Well then,

- he's a lucky guy. - Yes, he is.

And how are things with you and Sam?

Good! Fine.

Just, last time we spoke, things were great.

Well, uh...

maybe we can talk about it, if you have time for tea.

I always have time to talk about your life.

- Let me grab my coat. - OK.

- Oh! - Aw!

- You find something you like? - Yeah, this one caught my eye.

Oh, yes. Put it with the others

and when we come back later you can pick even more.

Perfect.

Have you both spoken to my people back home?

Yes, I've talked to your chef,

and he's sending me a few things he'd like me

- to prepare in advance. - And I spoke with your florist

who asked me to clear out my display cases to make room

- for what she's going to bring. - And Martha's been keeping

track of everything else that needs to be done, doing so much

more than any mother-of-the- groom should be expected to do.

Well, I just want our children to have a wedding

- they'll remember. - Have you spoken

to Judge Tanner about getting here in time to officiate?

Yes, I did, and he's arranging his flight.

You know, if you like, I can give him one of the orders

of service from one of the many weddings I've performed.

Oh, he's probably got one memorized. Thank you girls

for being so much help. But I suppose

this is good practice for the day either of you get married,

- hm? - Sure!

Practice, yeah.

Oh, I just love coming here.

Hm, it's one of my favorite places, too. But mostly because

of the people I'm with when I'm here.

So, um...

you still haven't told me what's going on with you and Sam.

- Right, and I was... - about to get to that.

Well, then, good thing I brought it up, huh?

Hm... Well...

Sam and I have been getting along really well...

Mm-hm. And then, something happened?

Hm. We started talking about the future.

Ugh, I don't know why anybody talks about the future.

Because it's not like anything we say

is gonna make what happens any different.

I know, which is why I hadn't been

thinking about it very much.

But when we started talking,

I found out that Sam has already decided

how it's gonna be.

- And how it's not gonna be. - Oh.

And that changed things more than I thought it would.

Cassie...

I know how you sometimes...

get feelings about things.

As if you think you know maybe what's going to happen next.

- Sometimes, a little bit... - Uh-huh.

Well maybe...

this would be a good time...

to just let each moment come along, one at a time,

without being so certain about the moments

that come after that.

To just live in the present.

And you know what the best part of doing that is?

When life finally does take place,

you actually get to be surprised.

So I spoke with your doctor and she's setting me up

with the two specialists you've already seen, and I also have

connections with a few experts of my own.

That's what I need, more experts to tell me

there's nothing they can do.

I just want to make sure we're doing everything we can.

And help plan a course of treatment.

- Of course you do. - What?

Here we are plotting out the rest of my life

and you're too afraid to even think about yours.

- Oh, I'm afraid now? - It just seems

like this whole thing with Cassie

is based more on the bad things that you think might happen

rather than the good things that are actually

- happening right now. - It's much more complicated

- than that, Joanne. - Is it?

Yeah! But it's something you couldn't understand

because you've never been married.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean for that to come out that way.

- It's OK. - No, I'm sorry.

Thanks.

You know, you've never asked me why I never got married.

I just figured it was something you didn't want.

I would have loved to, if it had happened.

And I mean, I guess, I never really looked that hard,

but... if I had found someone as right for me

as Cassie is for you,

I would have never let them get away.

So don't let Cassie get too far away from you.

I should get going.

Yeah.

You can head back inside, if you need to.

I don't, really. No.

Hey!

- Courtney! - I can give you guys a minute.

Uh, it's OK. Um...

I'll... talk to you later.

Yeah.

I did not realize you two were so into each other.

Yeah...

So, did you talk to Nick?

Yes. We're gonna go to Cindy's this weekend.

- This weekend? - Mm-hm.

You and Noah should come too!

Yeah, then we can all go together.

Yeah...

Wait, is that weird...

two friends dating two other friends?

I guess, sort of...

Oh! hey, Sam.

- Hey! - You going on a trip?

- Just for one day. - Where to?

To find your mom.

Thanks.

Welcome to the Windsor Arms.

Thanks. I'm looking for someone who should be

staying here. Cassie Nightingale?

I can give her a call for you, sir.

Great. Actually, you know, don't.

I came all this way because I wanted to surprise her.

Do you have any rooms?

I'll see what I have available.

Thank you. Do you have a restaurant?

- Second floor. - Could you, uh,

- check me in after I grab a bite? - I'll reserve a room

- under the name...? - Radford, please.

I'll check your bag for you, Mr. Radford.

Thanks.

- I'm sorry. - Mm-hm.

You said you were going to talk to her.

- I know, and I'm going to. - When?

- When I talk to her. - Nick, the longer you wait

the harder that it's going to be on Courtney.

So you need to talk with her now.

OK, will you just let me handle this, alright?

- But you're not handling it. - But I will.

- Good morning, Mr. Radford. - We have some newspapers

on the table over there. You can help yourself.

Ah. I will. Thanks.

Hello, Cassie.

Sam. What are you doing in Chicago?

Hey.

I just...

didn't want you to get too far away from me.

Look, Cassie, I know things are complicated...

Sam, wait.

We don't have to talk about the future so much.

I've been thinking about it, and I just want to let

each moment come along and see what happens after that.

OK.

Can we at least talk about the rest of the day?

- I came to spend it with you. - Ha! I can't wait

to see what surprises this day brings.

You know, there's someone I would love for you to meet,

- since you're here. - Lead the way.

Be happy to.

Oh, Hey! What can I getcha?

I just have time for a muffin. I'm so busy

helping to get this wedding together. I have to go back

out to the venue later tonight so we can put

all the final pieces in place.

Well, you can have whatever kind you like.

Oh. Cassie mentioned

that the zucchini ones were delicious.

- There you go. - Oh!

What's this?

- How did that get there? - It looks like...

some kind of Chinese coin.

Oh, maybe this will bring me good luck.

I've got a delivery for Stephanie Borden.

Yeah!

That's me!

Wh... what's all this?

Twelve dozen live Maine lobsters.

Elizabeth's chef must have ordered them for the wedding.

But it's not for another couple of days.

So I hope you know how to keep these babies alive 'til then.

Plus, the other twelve dozen that I've got in the truck.

Well, how am I supposed to know if they're still alive?

AAH!!

- They're still alive. - Uh-huh!

Here we go.

- You're Sam Radford. - I am.

Cassie's told me everything about you.

Hm... the good, the bad and the ugly?

- Mostly the good. - Mostly.

- This place is great. - Yeah,

we've got a little bit of everything in here.

There's a section of old medical books in the back.

I wonder if any of them has something

to say about episodic ataxia.

Sam's sister was recently diagnosed with the disease.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear.

Oh, thanks. She's not letting me do anything too modern

for her, but maybe she'd be open

to something like that. A lot of old remedies still have

- curative value. - You can take a look

- on the back shelf. - I will. Thanks.

So, he came to Chicago just to be with you?

He didn't want me to get too far away.

I hope you return the favor.

I'm not going anywhere.

- Who ordered this? - I had Martha do it.

We're going to be riding in a carriage?

Elizabeth thought it would be something that Vanessa would like.

I've arranged for the coachman

to pick you up in the center of town then transport you here

- for the wedding at night. - And I've spoken

with them about having the waterfall lit up

and synchronized to the live music that's going

- to be playing. - We don't need a horse

and carriage and we don't need a dancing waterfall.

It's not about what we need, it's about showing my daughter

- off to the world. - After all,

you do only get married once! Unless of course

you're Kristen Malmine from high school, in which case

the number is "four, and counting."

Now, we can have the groomsmen and bridesmaids

line up along here, and we will

lay rose petals along the pathway

and when you enter the hall the music will be playing...

OK, wait. Michael and I

didn't ask for any of this.

We wanted things to be simple.

But I'm only doing what any mother of the bride would do.

No, mom. You're doing what you want to do,

and it's all way too much.

I'm sure Elizabeth wouldn't mind if we cut down

the band by a few members...

You can tell them not even to show up. Because I don't want

the wedding to be here at all.

But Vanessa, this is the nicest place in Middleton.

Well then, we'll have to find a whole different town.

Oh no, Michael, let's not be hasty.

No. Vanessa and I,

we can do this wherever, whenever we want.

But it doesn't have to do be now.

Oh, what...

So, that's it then?! Everything's off?!

It looks that way.

Now we'll have to cancel it all.

Oh! You're back just in time.

Could you have somebody bring my bags down from my room?

Uh... Are you checking out?

Well, there's no reason to stay

now that the wedding is off.

- When did that happen? - Last night.

Vanessa and Michael felt

that Martha and I had gotten, um... out of hand.

Maybe they just need a little time to be alone together

as a couple. Get on a path they want.

What do I do with myself while they do that?

Hm... You could enjoy

some of the beauty that Middleton has to offer,

because when are you ever going to be back here?

I wasn't planning to, actually.

But... this is rather nice.

Yeah, there's something about a footbridge

that, when you see it, it just... makes you wanna take

the journey across it.

I suppose so...

There's an interesting one

that goes over Eternity Creek.

It's not too far from here, if you wanted to take a walk.

That's not a bad idea. I've been running around so much,

planning a wedding that now isn't even going to happen

and it might be nice to have some time to relax.

Hm...

- I'm gonna go get my jacket. - OK.

So, are we supposed to wish for something?

We could wish for moms

who don't always have to do things their way.

Or, maybe a unicorn,

because that's just as much of a fantasy.

Yeah.

I sort of already got my wish.

- Me, too. - So...

maybe we toss these things into the creek, for good luck.

You ready?

One, two,

three.

OK, Eternity Creek, do your thing.

Yeah, let's make this marriage last.

Michael?

Mom, what are you doing here?

Well, I was so upset about the wedding being called off and...

then I remembered the tradition of tossing a coin

off this bridge, for luck.

And I happened to find this one at the Bistro so I thought

I'd drop it in the creek in honor of both of you.

- It's very nice of you. - Well, I just want

- the two of you to be happy. - My goodness,

- this is a popular place. - Elizabeth.

Mom. I thought you were heading home.

I was.

But Cassie suggested that...

I might enjoy the scenery here.

And was she right?

There's a simple beauty to it, yes.

This is the kind of place I'd like to come back to

to remember the day Michael and I got married.

Whenever and wherever that is...

We'd like to get married at City Hall. Tomorrow.

- Tomorrow?! - City Hall?!

That's why we came to Middleton, that's...

- that's what we wanna do. - But there isn't time

- for a genuine wedding. - Sure there is. All we need

is someone who can lead us in the vows and a place

- for it to happen. - You could still have

a casual reception, if you'd like. And maybe just a few

simple decorations to make the ceremony even more memorable.

That'd probably be OK.

But where are we can we find somebody who can organize

something like that so quickly?

And get someone, last-minute, to officiate at the wedding?

I'm sure we can find someone.

Dearly beloved...

we are gathered here today to join this man...

...and this woman...

I thought I'd be able to make it through that but, ahem!

- ...apparently not! - Mom, why don't you let us

- say a few things first? - While I compose myself,

- yes, good. Good going. - I'll start.

I just wanted to thank everybody for working so hard

and putting this wedding together in so little time.

Abigail, the flowers are beautiful, and Stephanie,

I hear you've done some amazing things

with a few dozen lobsters.

Being here this week has made me wish

I grew up in a place like this.

With people like you.

Because it already feels like home.

Your turn.

So, I wanna thank Elizabeth

for inviting me into your family.

And there's one person that I'd like to thank most of all.

My mom.

She's had plenty of reasons

to be embarrassed by me being her son.

But...

she's looked past every single one of them.

I'll always love you for that.

- You ready? - Well, I was until you said that.

Ah!

Enough, on with the show.

Now, before we get to the vows, I want to read you something

that my friend, Cassie, found for me.

I don't know where she got it,

but she always seems to come through

with exactly the right thing.

"They're about to say, 'I do.'

"Three little letters

"two little words.

"It's the simplest part of the day.

"But there's nothing simple about the things that will

"remain unsaid. 'I do' means

"'I do know I could be hurt, '

"but I'm ready to be healed with you..

"It means, 'I do want to try,

"even when the fear of failure holds me back.'

"And, 'I do not know the future, but I'm

"ready to be surprised along the way.'

"And 'I do' means 'I do want your love,

"and I do give you mine,

"and nothing we do will ever be the same

because you and I will be doing it all together.'"

And now,

if the bride and groom will turn and face one another...

and take each other's hands...

we can move on...

to the part where they actually become husband and wife.

Enjoy.

It really was a lovely ceremony, Martha.

And the reception is perfect.

I still can't believe you pulled everything off.

Well, this town knows a thing or two about getting things

done at the last minute. And I'm so glad

that I had you as my helper.

Well, everything was very impressive.

And you and your husband raised a wonderful son.

We did?

Mm-hm.

Yes, we actually did.

Ah! Thank you for helping serve all this lobster

- with your friends. - Well, I haven't lived here

long, but I know when the mayor comes to your door,

tells you to do something, you don't ask why,

- you just do it. - I think

you're going to survive in Middleton just fine.

- Have you told her yet? - No. Will you just lay off?!

- When are you going to? - When I get the chance.

Nick, this can't go on forever.

Courtney needs to know that you wanna break up with her.

What?

Courtney...

Nick, is that true? Are...

Are you breaking up with me?

Oh, my gosh, it is.

- Thanks a lot, Grace. - Wait...

Hey Grace. Keep rotating these around.

Oh, and tell Noah to come back as soon as he's empty.

Yeah.

- Ah, no thanks. - No thank you.

So, did, uh, you help out with all this?

Oh, I tossed in a few spices,

but Stephanie did most of the work.

Oh, well, I'm glad you got to be a part of it before you left.

- What time's your flight? - It's in a couple of hours.

I actually... I have a cab coming in a few minutes.

Oh. Well, um, I wanted to give you something before you leave.

Cassie took me to this bookstore in Chicago

and it had a whole shelf of old medical books.

Sam, I'm not looking

for more medical options that probably aren't going to help.

And right next to those books, I found this.

Walden.

By Henry David Thoreau.

I remembered how much you liked it

when you read it in high school.

It's my favorite book.

It's about... letting life just... happen.

I hope you still like it.

Hm! Thank you, Sam.

You just let me know...

if there's anything you want me to do.

I will.

And let me know when you're gonna come back.

I am going to be back, for sure.

Thank you.

Bye.

- Ah, hi. - Hey.

Martha,

there's a guy outside with a horse and carriage

who said you hired him for a ride from here to Henderson's Mill.

Oh, my goodness, I completely forgot to cancel that!

- What should I tell him to do? - I don't know, just gallop on

home, I suppose!:

Unless there's anyone here who would like to take a free ride!

How would you feel

about taking a trip through town with me?

It would be a shame to let a good horse and carriage

- go to waste... - We call dibs!

It's all yours.

And I... think this is our stop.

- Yeah, looks like it. - You want to take

a look around? I hear this place is pretty romantic.

Ooh, we should probably find out.

We really should.

- M'lady. - Thank you.

Mm-hm.

Thanks.

- That was a nice wedding. - It was.

Where did you find that reading, anyway?

Oh, it was just in a book on a shelf somewhere.

- Ha! Just on a shelf somewhere. - Uh-huh.

I wonder how many futures began in a place just like this.

Hm, yeah, There were probably a lot of very special moments.

I guess all it takes is for two people to decide,

"I want to be with you tomorrow, and the day after that..."

And then, suddenly, they're living a lifetime together.

Maybe it is that simple.

Yeah. Sometimes it is.

What if you and I decided to do the same thing?

Well, as long as we're together tomorrow,

then, that is perfect for me.

Except I'm talking about the tomorrow after that

and all the rest of them. What if we just decided

that's how things are going to be?

I mean forever, Cassie.

I mean... for the rest of our lives.

Well, I wouldn't say no, if that's what you're asking.

Is that what you're asking, Sam?

Oh, Sam...

Will you marry me?

Yes.

Yeah, of course I will. Ah...

- I love you. - I love you, too.

Thank you.

So... ...that was a night.

One of my favorites in a long time.

Well, you know, we need to tell Nick and Grace.

Yeah...

I guess our kids should be the first to know

that their parents are going to be...

their parents.

Well... here we go.

How could you just say that knowing Courtney

- was standing right there? - I wouldn't have said anything,

Nick, if you would have said something in the first place.

You mean if I had done things your way,

because of how you always know what's best.

- I didn't say that. - Except you think it all the time!

Hey. What's going on?

Ask Nick.

Yeah, that way I don't have to be in the same room as him anymore.

Which is perfectly fine with me.

- Great. - Grace...

Hm...

So, I guess...

negotiating the rules of this engagement might be

- harder than we thought. - Does that give you second thoughts?

No second thoughts at all.

Me neither.

Well, then I guess we should put a ring

on that finger so everybody knows it's for real.

Well then, I'll keep

this space open... just for you.
