items into the display case at City Hall

ASAP?

- Certainly. We have so many great things.

Well, right now they're our

only hope to raise the money.

Once people see

these items,

they'll be sure to loosen

their purse strings.

Excuse me.

Hello, Bruce.

I'm going to be sending you

a customer. I was wondering

if you could show her some

floral options for the wedding.

Oh, that wedding! - I

know. - Five days from now?

I used to be in the wedding

business, and all I can tell you is...

good luck.

However,

speaking of loosening

my own "purse strings"...

Please put this

with the auction items.

Is it worth a lot?

My home decor is more

Chesapeake Bay than Hopi Indian.

Hey. Thought you were

on a lunch date.

I am. Can't you tell?

Where's the date?

- He's running late.

By about 35 minutes.

Ahem!

Can I help you, sir?

- Maybe I can help you with something.

Your assignment. Why don't you

let your editor buy you lunch?

But what if our lunch

doesn't go well

and I write about it?

Okay, well, then

I will take my chances.

I guess I could go

for a little bite.

All right.

- But I don't want to spoil my dinner.

I've got a date later,

and he seems like a winner.

He's into photography,

Thai food, and...

he's pretty cute.

Right.

Come in.

Thank you for seeing me,

Madame Mayor.

- I like to make myself available

for my constituents,

Mr., uh... Dressel.

Call me Grant. I'm a marketer,

and I read about your auction

And you have a contribution?

- Not exactly, but for a reasonable price,

I can make an online catalogue

of all the items up for auction.

I need to raise money, not spend it.

- But seeing the items

would really peak interest,

get people to, uh...

...loosen their purse

strings.

Cassie.

- Pardon?

Nothing.

A little voice tells me

that I should hire you.

I put all the items

in the showca...

Showcase. And I locked it.

Audrey, this is

Grant Dressel.

Hello.

Hi.

He's going to be making an online

catalogue of all of our auction pieces.

Ooh! Perhaps you could

work with him?

Of course.

Excuse me.

Now, I should warn you,

we have limited funds,

and I'm a tough,

tough negotiator,

so what will the webpage look

like, and how much will it cost?

Yes, if that's

the next one available.

And is it nonstop? Great.

I'll take it. My name?

My name is Cassie.

Cassie Nightingale.

That was a busy morning.

- Yeah, but look at all we got done!

Yeah.

I love it here.

Me too.

Brings back a lot

of good memories.

What is it?

We forgot to order

the embroidered napkins.

They're never gonna be

ready in time.

We can use these.

I have extras.

Tara...

what's wrong?

I thought you liked the casual wedding idea.

- I do.

But a few traditional

touches would be nice.

Tradition takes time.

We have five days.

I said traditional

touches.

I didn't say a full symphony

with half a dozen bridesmaids.

What about your wedding vows?

Have you written them yet?

I thought

I would wing it.

Wing it?

Brandon,

these are our vows

to each other.

For life. How

can you even think

of just saying any old thing

that pops in your head?

I thought that you liked

that I was spontaneous.

I thought that was something

that we had in common.

Well, maybe we don't

have as much in common

as we thought.

Tara.

Tara!

OK, "A" is for apple.

"B" is for boy.

What is the "C" for?

- Swimming.

No. Well, yes, sort of.

The sea you're

talking about,

the ocean, starts with an

"S".

Ocean starts with an "O".

How about:
"C" is for...

cat?

Grace?

Grandpa!

Sweetheart...

Pumpkin, you have to take

your schoolwork seriously.

Okay.

School time is learning

time.

How'd you like to learn

how to tie that shoe?

I already know.

- Really?

How did you do that?

Ms. Bryson showed me.

Well, that's a fine job.

Take a picture, Grandpa.

I think we'd better

move on to numbers.

Besides, Grandpa's doesn't

know where there's a camera.

Please, Grandpa?

My phone is a camera,

yeah.

Your painting is

the perfect auction item

for our new park. No?

Oh, I apologize,

I'd have thought for sure

that Audrey would've

picked it up by now.

You know what? I'll have it

off your hands within the hour.

Thank you, Mr. Levine.

Audrey?

Hello?

Derek has a date with her tonight,

and she's not answering her phone.

Jake, I'm really

worried for her.

Well, I'll find her.

Cassie...

I will. I'll find her.

That's not all.

My great-grandfather's

pocket watch,

the one for Brandon.

It's missing.

Martha, Audrey's gone.

Well, that's not

all that's gone.

We are missing every last

auction item from the display.

No...

- And I believe

that you entrusted Audrey

with the only key.

- Did you have trouble

getting Grace to bed?

No trouble at all.

Not a care in her world.

I was up in my sitting room,

thinking.

I've checked the airports,

the trains, the buses.

If she is gone, she hasn't gone far.

Not with all those auction items.

Well, if we can't find

her,

maybe she's lost.

I need to go back to the station

and review those surveillance videos.

Maybe you should go to the store

and see if anything else is missing.

A friend is missing.

Cassie, a friend?

You hardly know her.

Well, there are some people

you know really well right away.

Like when I met you.

I just want

to find her.

We will.

Everything's been so rough for all

of us lately, with you and Martha...

George...

Grace hasn't exactly

been a model student.

Lori's feeling down,

and now Brandon and Tara.

Yeah, well,

they'll be okay.

They haven't been

seeing eye to eye.

Even if it all comes together,

there won't be a wedding

unless the two of them

are together in spirit.

They have been under

a lot of pressure lately.

No, it's more than that.

Dad, Cassie.

You got a minute?

- Sure.

What is it?

There's... there's no other

way to say this, but...

Tara and I have broken up.

The wedding's off.

So I used

to date this girl,

and she would always bring

her own salt and pepper shakers

to restaurants. So when you

put this on the table, I...

What did you think it was?

- I wasn't sure.

Like a box of fried chicken in

case you didn't like your entree.

Well, I never dine

without my camera obscura.

That's a little weird.

But cute.

Care for dessert this evening?

- Uh, yeah. Definitely.

But first, would you

mind taking our photo?

Sure.

You just wind it three times and then shoot.

Hold it.

Nice.

Thanks. - I think

that's a keeper. - Lori?!

Hey! I didn't think

I'd find you here.

Jim, what are you doing

here?

I was having coffee

with a friend...

of mine.

Right.

What, you think I came here just to see you?

Hey, thanks

for the latte.

Mind if I sit down?

Yeah, uh, sure.

- Thank you.

Excuse me.

Where are you going?

I need to use the ladies

room. Do you want to follow me?

No.

Hey.

- Hey.

How's it going?

It was going really well.

- You need to see this

right away.

I put an APB out with every pawn

shop within a 150-mile radius
