person to ever notice that.

Cassie Nightingale.

- Audrey.

I'm Audrey... Bennett.

The same name as the Boston

company that forged this silver.

What a coincidence.

Perhaps.

Are you here to visit

family?

No, I... don't

have any family.

I didn't either

when I first arrived.

I found my family

here in Middleton,

and I've been here

ever since.

I have been moving around a

lot, and that gets lonely too.

I know what that's like.

But it's, uh, motivation

to make new friends.

I was looking for

a nice place to settle down,

so I did a web search

for "charming towns",

and this town,

your town,

came up,

top of the list.

Middleton? What a coincidence.

- Perhaps.

What a strange little

bottle.

Root extract.

Builds confidence

and concentration.

Do you drink it?

Like medicine?

Aromatherapy. The sense of smell

connects directly to the brain,

and channels

your chi.

Interested?

Yeah. I've always been

interested in medicine.

I wanted to be

a veterinarian, but,

you know, life.

It pulls us in

so many directions.

Exactly.

Well, it's on sale.

I could probably use it,

but the truth is,

what I really need right now is

a job so that I can pay for it.

Hm, well, it is

your lucky day.

When can you start?

Uh, first thing tomorrow?

I'll see you then.

- Thank you.

This is... just

what I needed.

Me too.

What can I do for you, Martha?

- Upon further reflection,

I have decided to take you up on

your offer to help with my fundraiser.

It's very sweet

of you to think of me.

The event is one week from tomorrow.

- Oh.

We need to raise $47.000 immediately.

Otherwise, we won't be able

to get our plantings in the

ground before the winter freeze.

47? This morning,

the budget was 177.000?

I managed to whittle

it down by replacing

the waterfall

with a stone fountain

modeled on one I discovered

on my trip to Sorrento.

Looks lovely.

- It is.

It will be. And here's

where you come in.

The leader of our

Chamber of Commerce,

Adam Berger, is on the fence,

and I need you to use your...

"black magic"

to get him on our side.

- Martha, it doesn't quite work that way.

And besides,

you didn't need

any magic during

your bid for mayor.

Bid.

Bid. We could ask people

to bid at a silent auction.

What a wonderful idea!

- Oh, Cassie, I'm bursting

with fresh ideas! I'll go

after the cash donations

while you put together

the items for the auction.

Glad to.

Ooh!

Hmm...

Must have left

my keys in the car.

Thank you.

Do I get a popsicle?

No popsicles.

We're gonna have dinner

as soon as Brandon gets here. But

maybe you could draw him a picture?

Hey. How was your first day

with Martha?

- Very difficult.

She wants us to dress

like clowns.

I'm sorry. I...

I hope you don't mind, I

just can't take you seriously.

You can't imagine

how hard it is to work

for that woman.

Oh, yes, I can.

I agreed to run

her silent auction.

With Martha, it won't

be very silent.

Walk with me. I gotta check on my vindaloo.

Hey, Lori! Whew,

you are a fast walker.

Well, it's a warm-up for

my field hockey practice.

Cool. When's your next

game? I'd love to watch.

Uh... cool!

We need the support.

More people show up

to archery than us.

Well, there's nothing more

thrilling than a bull's-eye, right?

Um, by the way,

did you see all the comments

on my online dating article?

Yeah, most of them were from

guys who wanted to date you.

Well, I was thinking

I could do a follow-up.

About what?

- Well, go on blind dates

with some of the guys and then

write about the experience.

Oh.

So you're still looking

for a date to the wedding?

No. Why? Jealous?

No.

'Cause if you

weren't my editor,

then maybe you could

come with me.

Just kidding.

Oh. Well, then maybe

I should resign.

I'm kidding.

Kidding too.

- Well, I have to get to my practice.

Yeah.

Oh, I hired someone

for the shop today.

That's good.

Anybody I know?

No. Her name is

Audrey Bennett.

She's new in town.

- Sounds good.

Aren't you going to ask me

to run a background check?

A background check. Come

on!

We're partners, right?

Every good cop knows he has

to trust his partner.

And I trust you.

- 10-4, Chief.

Cassie!

- Beverly, it's so good to see you again!

Jake!

- Hi! So,

where's the future

bride and groom?

They're unpacking the car.

- Let me help.

You look so fresh for someone

who's traveled such a long way.

Well, I'm so excited!

- Me too.

We're going to have so much fun

helping the kids with this wedding.

I can't wait to hear some of your ideas.

- My head is spinning with them.

On the way here, Tara and I

saw an island on the river,

and we thought

perhaps we could ferry the

guests over for a reception?

Sounds like you both envision

a fairly grand affair.

Ah, just a thought.

What smells so good?

That's Cassie's

chicken vindaloo.

Feels like I never

left home.

There's the happy couple!

Tara!

Hi!

- So, Brandon,

how's the job going?

- It's terrific.

Tell them!

The label wants me to be their

rep for their festival tour.

Congratulations, Brandon!

I am proud of you, son.

Isn't that cool? It starts in just two weeks.

- Yeah,

and it goes nonstop

for six months.

What about the wedding?

Um...

Aunt Beverly,

we wanted to wait until we had

everyone together to let you know.

Know what?

We have to postpone

the wedding.

Hi!

Uh, can I help you?

Well, yes.

Hello, Officer...

- Please, Derek.

Officer Derek. I'm Audrey.

I'm new in town, on my own...

Oh?

I mean, oh.

My new landlord wants

proof of my prior residence,

but my license

has expired.

He probably just

needs a reference.

That's pretty common. I could help you out.

- Great.

The owner of the Bell, Book & Candle

where I work suggested I come here.

Cassie.

Yeah.

She usually knows

what she's doing.

Um...

Well, if you give me

your name and social,

I can probably pull up your prior

address on some kind of document.

My name is Audrey...

Bennett.

- All right.

Bennett.

There's a few

Audrey Bennetts.

What's your social

security number?

You know what? It's okay.

I don't want to trouble you.

No, no, no,

it's no trouble.

Uh, sorry. -

Sure. - Hello,

Derek Sanders.

Because the uniforms

you gave us

got dirty, Martha.

Madame Martha.

Madame Mayor.

I sent them out

for cleaning.

Uh, five weeks?

Yes. Right away.

Sorry.

I'll be right back.

- Sure.

Okay.

My father's

pocket watch.

And his father's before

that.

I plan to give it

to Brandon

on his wedding day. I

found just the chain for it.

Wow. Sounds like you guys

are pretty close.

Must be nice

to always have someone

you can turn to.

It's wonderful to have

family,

but there are some things that family

members have a hard time understanding,

Well, that's why

it's great to have a friend

you can talk to,

someone who really listens.

I already feel like we can

tell each other anything.

Here, hide the watch. In that drawer.

- Okay, sure.

Well, hello.
