The Good Witch's Destiny

---

Cassie?

Cass?

- How did this...?

- Magic.

Magic? You mean...

I discovered a trove of antique

and vintage magician's props.

The price was right and I thought

it was perfect for this time of year.

Besides, who doesn't love a front

row seat for a Halloween magic show?

But didn't this shipment just arrive?

I mean, how did you...

One day you're gonna stop surprising me.

You'll never stop surprising me with

how handsome you look in this uniform.

Well, I thought you might be

closing up. You want a ride home?

I would love that. I just need

a few more minutes to close up.

And I made reservations for next Thursday

at the Manor, so keep it open.

- Why? Is it a special occasion?

- It's October 24th.

- It's your birthday.

- Eh eh eh...

You know, Jake, I was thinking maybe

we could do something different this year.

Like what? The Manor's a great restaurant.

I mean like a party. Think about

it, Jake, this might be the last time

that we can get our whole family together,

with Lori applying to study abroad next year.

Yeah. I guess Brandon is not gonna

launch a music career from Middleton.

What happened?

When did my kids become grown-ups?

Moving around so much,

I never had the chance to get

my whole family in one place,

and that's what I want

for my birthday next week.

My husband, my children,

and everyone else I love, in one place,

to celebrate our family before we

all head off in different directions.

Okay. Sounds good.

I just hope it all comes together.

I know...

The relief troops are here.

Oh... Thank you so much for babysitting

today. I was really in a bind.

I just love to see her sweet little face.

- How was the honeymoon?

- The chalet you sent us to was just perfect.

Not again.

It's not worth picking

up. He'll get the idea.

I had hoped that we could

throw your party at Grey House,

but some guests reserved

the room online last week.

Well, with our bed and breakfast full,

will you still be able

to make it to my party?

Sure.

We just have to let them

in, it won't take any time.

Oh, and of course, please let us know

if you need us to help in any way.

I really appreciate it.

Actually, would you be able to help out

tomorrow? I've got a lot of cleaning to do

to get the house ready

for my party on Thursday.

Our Saturday got pretty packed,

- but we could try to...

- No, I don't want you to go to any trouble.

I might know a babysitter.

That would be great. Thank you again,

and as always, make

yourselves right at home.

Although, I didn't get a chance to do any

grocery shopping for the last few days.

Don't worry about us.

We'll go to the diner.

Great.

Okay, bye, sweetie.

Mommy will see you later. Thank you.

Why don't we have Cassie's

party at my rental cottage?

That's a great idea.

Is it available?

I've got some people interested,

but I'll just tell them it's booked.

A family party.

I haven't had one of those in years.

Not since he left.

So, what made you choose

Middleton for your wedding?

Business, actually.

Drew has got a big

business deal in the works.

Ooh! You know, I could swear

- that I've seen you before.

- Mrs. Tinsdale,

your husband was my T-ball coach.

Oh. Who are your parents?

Uh, well, if you don't mind,

I haven't seen my mother

and I'd rather not have her find out

that I'm here through the rumour mill.

- We haven't spoken in quite some time.

- Enough said.

When you hire Martha

Tinsdale, you hire discrtion.

I am so sorry

about the odour. The store

next door had a... leak,

of something that I'd rather not discuss.

They did clean it up, but the smell still

lingers. Especially in this miserable heat.

We have to keep this short anyway.

It's all a bit... stifling.

Thank you.

Alright then, let's

dive right in, shall we?

Now, I'd like to start by asking

you both about your shared vision.

Well, Helen is the one with the vision,

and if it makes her happy,

I'm happy to pay for it.

I just want everything to be perfect.

And you deserve it.

Which is why I'm thinking

that what wedding needs

is a horse-drawn carriage.

I have been dreaming about

that since I was four years old.

You know, I am going to leave the

details up to you lovely ladies.

I wonder if you can start immediately

and I will pay you the balance next week?

Of course!

So I thought we could

start with the first dance.

I'd like to make it really

memorable. What are your ideas?

One word.

Fireworks. Let's start things off

- with a bang.

- This is going to be so much fun!

You think we should have

French or Italian for lunch?

- I feel more like Thai.

- Too spicy.

- Let's do French.

- French it is then.

Huh... Those look authentic.

Not reproductions.

Would you like to take a closer look?

Yeah.

Over 100 years old

and still a complete set.

They once belonged to Erich Weiss himself.

Houdini?

They always seem to find

their way into the right hands.

Wow. They're pristine.

Drew used to have a thing for magic tricks,

but he's just way too

busy for hobbies anymore.

Yeah. Even a year ago I would've

snapped these up in a heartbeat.

Come on, I'm hungry.

Oh! Sorry.

You must be...

- Mia.

- Drew.

Wow.

I thought you left Middleton for good.

Well, um...

- Um, I'm Helen. I'm Drew's fiance.

- Oh.

Drew invented an amazing

app for the financial sector

and he's selling it to a

company in the next town,

so when I heard he grew up here,

everything just seemed beyond perfect.

It's the right time, right place,

right guy.

- Marriage.

- Yeah.

I'm happy that things are

working out so well for you.

- Oh!

- Oh...

So much for my lucky briefcase.

It was really time you replaced it anyway.

What is that?

That satchel

is part of the same collection

as the playing cards.

It belonged to a great magician.

Some say he was Houdini's equal

until a failed stunt ended his career.

Really. You know what, I'll take it.

Hmm. Are you sure it's for you,

using another person's magic?

I'm not superstitious.

Well, I'll tell you what.

Why don't you borrow it, and if

you like it, you can pay me back.

That sounds like my kind of deal.

Can we get out of here?

I just really want that

lunch that you promised me.

Absolutely, and I really

have to get some work done.

Hey, what's the best place around

here to avoid interruptions?

The Espresso Caf is

quiet this time of day.

Is their coffee as good as I remember?

Your memory won't let you down.

Thanks.

Great.

It was really nice to meet you.

We'll see you around town, I'm sure.

- Bye.

- Bye.

So, uh,

Gwen tells me that you're

looking for a babysitter job.

That's right.

I've, uh, sort of been in

limbo the last couple of years.

I grew up here, so I moved back,

thinking that getting back to

my roots might help me figure out

what I'm supposed to do with my life.

What did you study in school?

Well, I should've listened

to everybody when they told me

an art degree was a sure-fire

ticket to the unemployment line.

Just because you love
