Good Witch

Previously on Good Witch...

- Abigail! - Hi, cousin.

And he's gonna put up six very high-end townhouses.

- I'm not a baby. - This isn't your crowd.

I can take care of myself.

Please, go to your date. I'll make my own way to the hospital.

Missed you at the restaurant.

I did call.

Abigail's fine, by the way.

It was just a bad bruise.

- It's not gonna work. - Stephanie,

I'm a doctor. I'm going to have emergencies come up from time to time.

Give me another chance. Dinner tomorrow?

What'd you say? I'll pick you up,

take you anywhere you want to go.

Ok.

Great. It's a date.

That you better not break.

- (Beeping) - Hey Cassie.

What... really?

Nick's gone too. (Sighing)

Well, now we both don't know where our kids are.

You think Grace is with Nick?

- I have a feeling. - Well, your feelings are usually spot on,

- but they're not exactly best buds. - Yeah, I know, but...

- Did you try her cell? - She left it at home.

And he's not answering his.

Well, it's still early, and it's Grace.

- She's a good kid. - Yeah, Nick too.

I love him, but Nick is... Nick.

Grace?

Just me.

Grace is missing.

- Missing? - Nobody knows where she is.

- She's with Anthony. - No, she left him.

She's probably studying somewhere else. The library.

It's Grace, how much trouble could she get into?

- Any word? - No.

Abigail?

Abigail...

What were you doing at the coffee house?

Meeting someone.

Thanks for getting me home.

What were you doing there?

- Hanging. - And your dad's cool with that?

- What he doesn't know... - So you snuck out?

Hey, if he let me do what

I wanted to do in the first place, I wouldn't have to.

Well, thanks.

You did

a really nice thing tonight.

In the future, be more careful ok?

What's that supposed to mean?

There are rule followers and rule breakers.

You're the first, not the second.

I won't always be here to help.

- I don't need you to be. - You did tonight.

- Grace? - Grace!

- Where have you been? - You were studying, right?

At the library?

That's what I told them.

Yeah.

- Yeah? - Library.

You were at the library?

Yes.

And I'm really sorry to have worried everyone.

You're never up this late.

Sorry to disappoint you and catch you.

I just went out. No big deal.

When I told you not to. It's a very big deal.

Grace wasn't with you, was she?

Can you just ground me, get it over with?

I don't know what to do with you.

When you do, let me know.

I'm going to bed.

Your father's compass.

Yeah.

That was given to him by your grandfather.

When your dad went into the army

he took it with him. The last part of boot camp

was survival training.

Your dad found himself out in the middle of nowhere

with not much more than that compass.

- Wow! - He had doubts

of surviving survival training, but that compass helped him

- find his way back. - It meant a lot to him.

Yeah. It reminded him that

we all have an internal compass that points us

in the right direction.

It's when we stray off course we get lost.

I am so sorry

- for tonight. - I know.

Apparently you weren't the only one to go missing tonight.

When I was looking for you,

Sam discovered that Nick had snuck out.

So, I got him in trouble?

Other people can't get us into trouble,

only we can get ourselves into trouble.

Since you showed up on my doorstep,

I have this feeling I can't seem to shake

that you're here just to stir things up.

Sam, Stephanie,

Grace, Lori...

Well, if you don't stir the pot,

everything boils over.

- But not your pot. - My pot is fine.

- Your pot is stuck. - So, you're here to stir it?

Someone has to.

I know you think you're helping me...

I am helping you.

- You'll see. - I don't see.

You will.

The door's open, Sam.

- Tea? - Scotch.

- Ooh, I have tea. - Well, I'll drink it

and pretend it's scotch. Make mine a double.

Mm.

I got your text.

- I'm glad Grace is okay. - And I'm glad Nick came back.

He did. You know,

when they say their first words

or take their first steps

or ride a two-wheeler, first day of school...

Oh, you just never think you're going to end up...

- Drinking herb tea? - Exactly.

How is it I can control everything in my life

and I can't control my own son?

Well, you can't control everything, there are always

unexpected variables that change things.

I can control the variables.

No, you can't, that's what makes them variables.

- When I set my mind to something, I can do it. - That's tenacity.

I graduated from medical school in three years.

Well, that's impressive. But it's not control.

I'm a doctor.

If I didn't believe that I could control the uncontrollable, I never would have

- gotten out of med school. - I believe at its core,

- medicine is a struggle to control disease. - Yes, see, control.

- No, see, struggle. - (Spluttering)

- (Chuckling) - I think I'm gonna

control myself on home. Thank you.

And now I seem to be struggling a bit.

Hmm... we all do.

Good night, Sam.

Good night.

- I spoke with your friend Jones. - You did?

I told him I think this Keating house development

- is just the beginning. - It is?

I've asked my team to come up with a list of properties that have potential.

- Potential? - Yes, potential to be leveled.

Martha...

Oh, you! You got me thinking, and you're right.

- I am? - Out with the old, in with the new!

But we don't really want this development to change the face

- of Middleton, do we? - Middleton is a grand old lady,

but she could use a nip-and-tuck.

And with your real estate know-how

and my ability to... to... well, to do everything else, there's no stopping us.

- Us? - We make a great team.

Like... like butch and Sundance.

- They die at the end of the film. - Do they?

Oh! Well... you know what I mean.

- Hi! - What happened to you last night?

- I hurt my ankle. - I was all alone.

- Nick was there. - Yeah.

- What's wrong? - Listen,

I really hate what I did

and lying and now he's in trouble.

Well, if you wanna break the rules, you're going to have

to deal with feeling guilty from time to time.

Just ground me and get it over with.

I can't always control what you do.

- But I can control what I do. - What are you talking about?

- We don't spend enough time together. - Yes, we do.

No, we don't, but that's gonna change.

Because something has to.

And that's why I'm grounding both of us.

Hmm!

Hi. I'm sorry, I'm late.

Oh, no problem. You all right?

Yeah...

Yeah, it's just Martha's going

all Donald Trump on me with Keating house.

Martha's a powerful force of nature.

Oh boy, you're not kidding.

It's hard to contain something so strong

once it's been unleashed.

Look, I don't want Keating house to come between us.

Give me one more chance to convince you

- of the merits of this project. - Ok.

Grey House. You talk, I'll cook.

Oh, that's kind of intimate.

- It is? - Mm-hmm.

Well, yeah, in a restaurant, you know, we're not alone, but at Grey House...

- At Grey House, there's Grace and Brandon... - But no Lori?

No, Lori's, um, investigating something.

See, right there. Lori would have changed the dynamic

of the entire evening. We're practically going to be alone.

Practically.

What's wrong? Stephanie?
