Good Witch

Previously on Good Witch...

It wasn't your herbs or powders or whatever.

- I never thought it was. - I did, and for that I'm sorry.

- Haven't seen your dad around. - My dad passed away.

I dedicate this wing in his honor.

I just woke up one morning with such a strong feeling

that I needed to share Grey house with the world again.

So George and I are reopening the bed and breakfast.

Can I help you?

I didn't see you there.

Oh, I didn't mean to startle you. Are you lost?

I'm looking for Grey house.

Well, you found it. I'm Cassie Nightingale, the owner.

- I didn't make a reservation... - You don't need one.

Oh... great, thanks.

- Tired? - I'm exhausted.

Not just from traveling.

Let's get you a room.

We can work out the paperwork tomorrow.

So you're here for the heritage ball and 10k run?

No... Yeah... no.

No, vacation.

Well, I'm glad we got that settled.

Now let's get you settled.

Nick! Nick!

He's at my house.

He's supposed to be at his house.

- Oh, he didn't tell me that. - He's grounded.

Didn't mention that either.

But I sensed he was hiding something.

What you call "hiding" I call "lying".

Sorry.

It's been a rough couple of weeks.

- I'll send him home. - Nah, it's okay.

It's not like he's roaming the streets.

He's got adult supervision... From an adult he actually likes.

Oh, he likes you.

Who said being a parent was a popularity contest?

As a matter of fact, the more he dislikes me,

the more I know I'm doing my job.

- Ha! It's a thin line. - Between love and hate?

With Nick, that line's almost invisible.

That's what he'd like you to believe.

So you're getting ready for the big race?

I don't race anymore. I just run.

Offset of caffeine... and the stress of being a single parent.

What?

The whole town is talking about you.

Okay...

But if you were at the race,

the whole town could talk to you.

Okay. Thank you, but no thanks.

You ever tried meditating? You know, instead of running.

Uh... I don't have time to meditate.

Well, if you have time to run, you have time to meditate.

I don't like meditation.

- You've tried it? - No.

Then how do you know you don't like it?

I don't have to try walking on broken glass to know

I wouldn't like that either.

It's an interesting analogy.

I've got to run.

No, no, no! The banner will be the first thing

that people see when they enter Middleton.

You do not get a second chance...

At a first impression.

Our banner must be majestic.

It must wave and announce, not block and annoy.

- Annoy? - Yes.

When people run into the banner, they will be annoyed.

You know, it's a fun run, and dance.

Look what our centennial did for us a few years back.

Why, this festival could be a game changer for Middleton.

I mean, who knows what might come next?

A food festival, a jazz festival...

Oh! Maybe even a film festival.

I have big plans for this year and they all start and end

on the success of the heritage festival.

Oh! Madam Mayor!

Mom?

- Mm-mm? - Why is Nick here?

- Uh... he just showed up. - Oh, he has a home.

- Yes. - So please send him back there.

- I think he might surprise you. - Oh...

He surprised me when he almost let me take the fall

- for stealing the school mascot. - Almost.

Mom, I see a lot of things,

but the one thing I don't see is that Nick is a good guy.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

It's not me. It's Anthony.

I think something's wrong with his family.

But maybe I'm wrong, right?

And maybe what I see won't happen.

I'll keep a good thought for Anthony.

Thanks, mom.

- It's nice to have you join us. - Again.

Thanks, Cassie.

Just for the record,

I came here for the food,

not the company.

So you decided to run the 10k after all?

I thought I'd just walk briskly

and finish sometime before nightfall.

- It's good to have goals. - How about all of you?

Well, I love the heritage festival.

- And the run? - About the only way

you could get me to love a 10k run

is if you put Ryan gosling at the finish line.

So, what happens at a heritage festival?

Oh, the locals

gather under a full moon and sacrifice anyone from New York.

It's a lovely tradition. We start the morning

with the race and we end the day with a big ball.

- Oh. - The whole town is invited.

- You should come. - Um...

- I don't do fun runs. - You sound just like your dad.

I'm nothing like my father. Okay?

5... 4...

3... 2...

Great day for a run, huh?

Uh... yeah.

You okay?

I'm... just not used to having company when I run.

In New York, I always ran alone.

Yeah? Well, you're not alone anymore.

That's what I see. I'm gonna pick up the pace,

- my heart rate's dropping. - Oh, I can keep up with you,

don't you worry. I actually started doing this

- because of you. - Pardon me?

Well, at my first appointment, you told me to take up

some sort of exercise program, remember?

- I've always liked running. - I've told a lot of my patients

to ought to, but they hardly ever listen to me.

- I will always listen to you. - Ha!

Hey there!

- I'm Brandon. - Oh, Ashley!

This is my stepson, Brandon.

- And you're all checked in. - I need to pay you.

Do you take cash?

Wow, you never see that anymore. People always seem

to have cards, but no one seems to have cash.

- It's all I have. - And it's totally fine.

I'm really not hungry.

By the way,

my plans might change.

I don't know if I'll be here too long.

Well, um... make sure you stop

by the shop before you leave. Bell, book and candle.

Sounds very mysterious.

No, there's no mystery. At least not at the shop.

No credit cards?

Driver's license? Passport?

She's not boarding an international flight,

she's staying at a Bed and Breakfast.

Well, I'm a cop, and what I see is trouble.

Mm... trouble and troubled

are two entirely different things.

Hello there!

- Hey doc! - What brings you in today?

I'm just having a little trouble with my left knee.

I just don't want to be out of commission

for the big race. You're new in town

so you probably don't know that I'm undefeated.

This is what happens when I overtrain. It's fluid retention,

but it's not infected. I know what that feels like,

so I don't need antibiotics, but I thought...

- Do you mind if I take a look at it? - Yeah, go ahead.

- So are you racing? - No, I don't do fun runs.

- 10k is not exactly a fun run. - Well, it's not a marathon.

- It's over 6 miles. - Fun!

You know what I think is fun? Winning.

Now see, if I ran, it'd spoil all your fun.

That's impossible.

I graduated from medical school in three years.

- Nothing's impossible. - Yeah, I know.

I was all-American in track.

- Yeah? - Yeah!

- Me too! - No way!

High school, a long time ago.

Yeah, a little longer for you than for me, huh?

Oh and for the record, I was all-American

- in high school and college. - Impressive!

- Thank you. - I gotta say, once you've run

the New York and Boston marathons in the same year,

everything just pales

in comparison. Which means I'm not running.

And neither are you if I don't drain that knee.

Is this gonna hurt?

Only if I want it to.

- Derek, can I help you? - I don't know.

Do you have a problem?

Uh... kind of.

Hey Cass, do you think...

Do you have something

that might be able to help me out with women?

- Help? - I've had a lot

of first dates lately, but not a lot of second dates.

I sense that you have a vacancy in your life

- that's about to be filled. - Yeah?
