The Good Witch's Destiny Page #5

---

Much better, thanks to your dad and Lori.

- Yeah?

- So, I understand

congratulations are in order.

We never actually made

it inside the courthouse.

We drove all night.

We left as soon as we got

your call about Cassie.

But we're gonna set another

date after Cassie's party.

Oh. Still, I kinda hoped

you'd changed your mind.

Well,

our minds are made up.

I'm glad you're feeling better.

Thanks.

Don't worry, we'll get together

and figure it out before the party.

Jake, I don't know how we'll get together.

We're all headed in different directions.

Hi.

What are you doing here?

Mia, can I come in?

- Nice place.

- I'm renting a room upstairs

until I figure out my next career move.

- How long you lived here?

- Four months.

I've got some ideas. Might

give an office job a try.

Office job?

But it seems like you're

getting back into restoration.

This is just a side project.

It's a picture of the Grey Lady.

I don't think that they

realize how valuable it is.

How valuable is it?

It was painted by Elyse

Rathburn early in her career,

and she went on to become a

very famous portrait artist.

Well, you always did have

a passion for art history.

Passion doesn't make a career.

That's not what you used to think.

What changed?

You did.

That's because everything fell apart

when you cut me out of your life.

You said you would come to Italy with me,

but you never showed up

and never told me why.

Everything would have been fine

if you'd just stayed in Middleton.

Yeah, well, it turns out Italy didn't

work out so well for me, either.

Looks like I don't have what it takes.

Never did.

I'm sorry I bothered you.

- How's Cassie doing?

- She's doing a lot better.

She's just having a nap with Grace.

I really need to talk to you.

I found an empty bottle of smelling salts

in the trunk where I found the diary.

They're for reviving consciousness.

And the prescription on them

is dated two days before

the Grey Lady's birthday.

Just like Cassie had a

fainting spell yesterday.

Cassie's birthday is tomorrow.

The timing is the same.

The coincidences, they just keep adding up.

Lori, honey,

that's exactly what they are. Coincidences.

Real investigations are based on facts.

Please, just take me with you

when you go to the Bell, Book, and

Candle to talk to the fire marshal.

Well, it'd be nice to have some company.

But no conspiracy theory talks, okay?

- I'll just watch and observe.

- Alright.

Hi. I'm so glad you could come today.

How are you feeling?

- Do you want me to take Grace for a walk?

- Oh, no, I'm fine.

Actually, I might join you on that walk.

Grace would love that.

Oh, wow!

There you go.

- How's the job search going?

- Not too well.

Seems like everyone wants an admin

job in a cushy office building.

I've rewritten my resume so many

times I'm second-guessing everything,

- even my own name.

- You never have to second guess

when you're true to who you really are.

Someone close to me used to say that.

But that was a long time ago.

That door is closed.

Sometimes we need to open doors

to let in the fresh air.

- You seen anything yet?

- Tests are coming out positive.

There are trace amounts

of flammable liquid.

What does that mean?

It means it may not have been an accident.

Drew Wyatt?

That's me.

- You're under arrest.

- For what?

Loitering at a crime scene.

- I wasn't doing anything.

- That's what they all say.

Is Middleton so perfect that they

can waste police officer's time

just arresting a guy

walking down the street?

Well, it's enough to hold

you while we investigate

the fire at Cassie's shop.

Plus, I'd say the guy that was

seen harassing the store owner

and was the last one to

leave before the fire started

is probably a prime suspect.

Okay, fine. I won't take it personally,

I'm sure Cassie has

something to do with this.

- You... have the right to remain silent.

- Yeah.

I'm so glad we can finally

spend some time together.

- I've missed you since you left home.

- Yeah.

I've really missed you guys too.

I'm surprised my dad doesn't want

me to just come back after I graduate

and live with you guys so he can

keep telling me how to live my life.

Once I'm married,

he won't treat me like

a little kid anymore.

As long as that's not the

only reason for your decision.

One moment can change your destiny.

What's that sign all about?

I don't know, but I'll find out.

I hate to tell you this,

but some local business owners

filed a complaint with your landlord.

If you have any dangerous objects

in your shop, he's within

his rights to evict you.

Alright, now your only hope is to prove

that it was arson and it wasn't your fault.

I didn't see this coming.

That's the most surprising thing

I've heard in my whole life.

You seem to be carrying quite a

heavy burden. Do you need some help?

Thank you, but you've

done quite enough already.

You do know that I had no choice but to go

to the business association

about your store.

I did it for Middleton.

It was nothing personal.

Well, maybe it's for the best.

I've had so much going on,

not having to worry about the store...

... will give me a chance

to clean up some clutter.

- Hi, Derek.

- Hi, Gwen.

How's Drew?

He's fine. Probably bored

more than anything else.

Are you here to bail him out?

Alright, let's take a look.

His bail is set

for $30,000,

so to get him out it'd be $3,000.

We can take cash or certified check.

That's a lot of money. What

happens if nobody pays it?

Well, he'll sit here until

the judge can see him,

which is gonna be Friday at the earliest.

That's two days in jail.

Cassie, you barely touched

that. Did it taste all right?

- I know I'm not half the cook you are.

- No, it was delicious.

You put a lot of love into it. I

just don't have much of an appetite.

Brandon came by today.

You really should talk to him, Jake.

He needs your approval

more than you realize.

What Brandon needs is somebody

to talk some sense into him,

instead of filling his head with

romantic ideas about young love.

You yourself know that young

love can work. It did for you.

I missed some opportunities

because I was just like Brandon,

I was in a rush to get

started with real life.

Brandon's life started

when you and his mother first met.

Hi, Cassie. George and I

realized that we hadn't

decided on what time

the party should be tomorrow night.

He thought six, I thought eight.

Whatever works best for all would make me

happy. When should I get there to decorate?

Oh, well, we can't actually

get you in there until tomorrow,

when the current guests leave.

They wanted to stay for a whole month,

but the party was more important to me.

It'll help me take my mind off things.

Things with Drew have been hard on you.

I just feel so bad that my son has

been causing so many problems for you.

And now he's in jail.

At least while he's in there he

can't run away from his problems.

It's too much money to take
