The Good Witch's Wonder Page #5

and I asked them for copies of

their video surveillance tapes

over the past 24 hours.

- I couldn't believe it myself till I saw it.

OK, Derek, stop

the tape. Zoom in.

That's Audrey!

I knew there was something

off about that woman.

She fooled me too, Cassie.

Cassie, are you okay?

No, I'm not.

Don't worry,

I'll finish by deadline.

Lori,

do I look worried?

You've never let me

down before.

I mean, you're cutting it

a little close on this one.

I know. I was hoping

I'd hear from Sean by now.

For the article.

- Uh, Sean?

The guy from the dinner date you crashed?

He hasn't called.

Well, I'm sure he will.

Yeah? What makes you so

sure?

Are you kidding?

Lori, come on, you...

you're smart.

You're so smart,

you're so funny...

Don't stop. Keep it

coming.

Keep it coming.

So pretty.

And, uh... you have

this certain way

that you bite

on your lower lip...

That's the one.

Uh... what were we

talking about?

My lower lip.

OK. So, I gotta... I've gotta

go scan some homecoming posters.

What kind of tea was that?

- Lapsang souchong.

You liked it?

- Yeah.

Pretty good.

From the way you're looking into your

cup, I thought you were reading your tea

May I?

The leaves that are left

form shapes. What do you

see?

I don't know, sticks?

No, bones.

Bones suggest doubt.

It's not the rush

or the different plans

that have come

between you and Tara.

It's doubt.

I don't want to lose her, but

if we can't manage a wedding,

how are we going to manage

a lifetime of marriage?

It's normal to have

doubts.

I have some terrible doubts

of my own right now.

About me?

- No, no. Someone else.

You know, when your father and I first

announced our wedding, Brandon, I was so nervous.

A free spirit

like me,

marrying a policeman? How

was that ever gonna work?

But it did.

It's just, the music

business is intense, and...

I want to give 100%

to my job and 100% to Tara.

It doesn't add up.

Your problems aren't

doubled when you get married.

With the right partner,

they're cut in half.

I love her, Cassie.

Then the two of you

can do things

you never dreamed

possible, with love.

- Based on the transaction

pattern,

she's working her way north.

That could take her

through Chester, and we're working

with the sheriff there, so...

Nothing else?

We've recovered

her fingerprints

off of every item from the

auction, and matched them

to the fingerprints of hers

taken from your shop.

Other than that,

it's all I know.

Jake, I'm sorry to ask

so many questions,

but you've gotta

find a suspect.

I've lost a friend,

and I miss her.

You miss her? After

what she's done to you,

to this town?

You know, I found out

Bennett isn't

her real last name.

Jake, Cassie Nightingale

wasn't my real name either.

I know you want to give Audrey the

benefit of the doubt, but I'm a cop.

I have to follow

the evidence.

And I have to file

all these status reports

because Martha keeps checking

in with me every minute.

That's why I wanted to come for lunch,

just so I could get away from her.

That does sound like a problem.

- You know what the problem is?

The problem is

you trusted Audrey.

And of course, I trusted

you.

And then Audrey

robbed us blind,

and now Martha doesn't trust

me.

Just give it time.

We are just from

two different planets.

Kind of like the two of

us.

Sometimes,

opposites attract.

It's the law of magnetism.

Ah, ah, ah...

Martha. Again!

Hey. Take this in.

We should get a lot for it.

I can't.

- Sure you can.

You can, and you will.

Look, it's bad enough

that you forced me to steal

those auction items,

but this is...

this is Cassie's watch. I

can't. I can't do that to her.

Haven't I paid you enough?

No.

You stole from me.

I could file charges.

Those things I took

from the house, they...

they were mine.

You promised me

that if I stole those showcase

items and gave you the money,

you would let me go.

What makes you think

that I will ever let you go?

Either you come home with

me,

or I'll have the police throw

you in jail where you belong.

Why can't we just end

this?

Because you're my wife.

And don't get any ideas about

running to your friend Cassie.

I know how to deal with her as

well. Did you really think that

All I had to do was look in your

computer's cache. It was loaded

Please...

- Now you're wanted in Middleton too.

You've got a choice.

Either you go to prison,

or you stick

with me,

like a good little girl.

I'll protect you.

Okay.

You win.

Audrey! Get back here!

You can't run fast enough,

Audrey!

You know I'll find you!

Hello, Audrey.

I'm sorry, Cassie.

You've been such

a good friend to me,

and I've let you down.

Audrey, seeing you here

has brought me

right back up again.

Here.

I was about

to pawn it,

but I couldn't do it,

not to you.

Thank you for keeping it

safe.

I was worried.

I never let it

out of my sight.

I meant worried about you.

Don't be.

I'm going someplace

that I can be safe.

Hi, Audrey.

It's nice to see you again.

I'm sorry, Derek.

Chief Russell,

I stole the auction items

from the showcase.

Audrey, don't say any more. You know,

you have the right to an attorney.

I don't want one. I came

back to confess everything.

Audrey, I haven't

known you long,

but I hope I know you well.

And you're not

telling us something.

I pawned all I could

for cash.

But I came back,

because of you.

Well, you're doing the

honorable thing, Audrey,

but... these are

serious charges.

I know. It's only right

I get what I deserve.

Well, that'll be for our judge to decide,

and he's not available until tomorrow,

so until then,

I have no choice...

Derek.

Could you place Audrey

in custody, please?

Come on.

I can't help but feel

she deserves better.

Maybe so, but...

it doesn't look good.

- No, it doesn't.

Maybe you didn't know her as

well as you thought you did.

Perhaps I should get

to know her better.

Jim?

We need to talk.

- I know.

I crossed the line and I shouldn't have.

- It's about Sean.

My date. I just got

an email from him.

Oh.

How's that going?

Not well.

- Why not?

I made him think I was only on the

date for the article, and not because

I actually liked him. - Okay,

Lori, I... - And I know why.

You thought the article would

be more interesting if the dates

No, Lori, that's...

- And the worst part is you acted like you liked me.

Lori, I do like you!

- You kissed me,

and then you turned

and walked away.

No. No, there's more than that. You don't understand...

- No, I get it. I got it.

And this time,

I'm walking away.

I'm sorry to hear

about Audrey.

I'm just relieved she's

okay.

How about you? Are you okay?

I've been better.

But just I wanted to thank you

so much for all your hard work.

I'm sorry it's all

gone to waste.

Nothing we do in life

is ever wasted.

Even the worst things can

lead to something better.

I wish I could believe

that,

but right now...

You're being

pulled apart.
