The Good Witch Page #6

Synopsis: Jake Russell, the friendly police chief in town so small initially worries about mysterious outsider heiress Cassandra 'Cassie' Nightingale, who moved into the house held to be haunted by the 'grey lady', and opens a strange gift shop full with attributes of occultism, soon causing the rumor she's a wicked witch. After Cassie kindly helps his brave son Brandon (and his sissy sister Lori) with a dog, bully Kyle -abused by his own poor dad- and their own fears, Jake soon makes friends with her, even romantically interested. Yet the 'chief' is professionally obliged to handle a flood of complaints and harassment started by the mayor's haughty wife, her busy bodies-bunch, and teenage brats. Finally Derek Sanders, Jakes's only deputy, hits on Cassie's hidden background.

What does that mean?

Sometimes you really get

my Irish up, you know that?

Do you still want to go for dinner?

Well I thought we decided...

- No, I decided that I

don't care what people think.

Well in that case, won't you come in.

I think I have a perfect solution.

Why don't we dine in?

- Well, I don't want you to have to cook.

- Oh, no, I love to cook.

Haven't you noticed? I'm always cooking.

Look at this.

They really treat Walter well.

No, Walter is out for the evening.

Well, I was hoping you might stop by.

How could you know?

Sometimes you just have to

believe and take a chance.

You ready to take a chance Jake?

I think I already have.

Why don't you open the wine and

I will get the first course.

Sue Ellen Brock.

What?

You wanted to know my name,

the one my parent's gave me.

- so do you want me to call you Sue?

- No.

Good.

You seem more like a Cassandra to me.

Definitely a Nightingale.

You like to be a mystery don't you?

A little mystery keeps things interesting.

I'm interested.

I know a few facts, but

I don't know you that well.

I'd like to.

Oh, no, no, it's your turn.

Tell me something about

you that I don't know.

Okay, let's see.

When I was 13

I broke into the bell tower

and replaced the cassette

and at noon when chimes

were supposed to play,

the whole town heard my tape of

Led Zeppelin's Whole lot of Love.

Oh, I'm telling the police.

And after a life of crime,

running on the lam, I

decided to clean up my act.

That's when I decided to bring Jenny and...

Jenny and the kids here.

That was the plan.

But plans change.

So how did you get here?

She brought me here.

Jake, I'm the great, great granddaughter

and sole surviving heir of

Elizabeth Merriwick, the Grey Lady.

What's left of her family

has finally come home.

Through the Grey Lady.

When I found out I had

property here in Middleton I

I took it as a sign to

come here and settle down.

And since you got here you've

had nothing but trouble.

Well now, that's not all true.

Cassie, the City Council meeting

is the day after Halloween.

It's really blowing up to be a storm.

Oh, but I love storms.

Somehow that doesn't surprise me.

All right, no more about that. Not tonight.

Your perfume is nice.

Hm, you noticed.

I like it.

It worked.

You always seem to give

people exactly what they need.

What do you need?

What do I need?

A home.

You have one.

A home is more than a house Jake.

I want a place where

people will accept me as I am.

You'd be surprised how hard

that's been for me to find.

You're so beautiful.

Thank you.

Midnight, my favorite time of day.

Trick or treat.

Thank you.

Thank you, bye.

Do I really have to wear this?

You need to get into the spirit of things.

Get in touch with your inner child.

This inner child is

about to have a tantrum.

And what about you? I mean,

what are you going the wear?

Don't you recognize the Grey Lady?

Oh Trick or Treaters, go wait for it.

And remember double treats

to anyone brave enough

to trick or treat at Grey House.

Trick or treat.

Why you scallywags,

walk you off the plank

with the point of sword,

feed you to the sharks.

They'll crush your bones into powder and

use them as cannon fodder.

I think that's a little too realistic.

Come in, come in.

And what are you supposed to be?

A witch.

She insisted.

Don't you know witches aren't

very popular around here?

I don't care.

I want to be a witch when I grow up.

Oh, uh, Jake's running a little late.

I know who you are? You're the Grey Lady.

Yes, and I've come to haunt the party.

Did you tell your friends at school?

How many do you think will come?

I don't think anybody is going to come?

Why not?

Well, they wanted to but,

their parents wouldn't let them.

Oh, I see.

Well, I hope you're hungry

because we have plenty of treats.

- Cassie?

- Yes Lori.

Now that I've gotten rid of the monsters,

how do I get rid of the bunnies.

I warned you not to dream about them.

I couldn't help it.

Well the only way to

get rid of dream bunnies

is to have them chased by dream puppies.

Puppies?

- Wiggling, face-licking puppies.

- Oh no.

I will not dream of puppies.

I'll get it.

- Nancy!

- I heard there was a party.

- Yes, come in.

- Thank you.

Cassie, this is my husband Bill.

- Pleasure to meet you.

- Nice to meet you.

I have some incredible news.

I'm pregnant!

Oh, that's so wonderful.

I still can't believe it.

We've been trying for so

long. We'd given up hope.

I'm so happy for you.

I love you.

I love you too.

Uh, guys.

- Party's that way.

- Oh, sorry.

Honey, why don't you head

on in. I'll be right there.

- Don't be long.

- I'll miss you.

Did you have anything to do with this?

Well, I've been accused of a lot of things,

but not getting someone pregnant.

I think maybe your husband was the culprit.

Yes, but my doctor was so pessimistic.

Oh, well, sometimes it's just a matter

of relaxing and letting nature find a way.

So it wasn't magic?

Oh, it's most definitely magic.

Hi George.

Here it is, your itinerary for Ireland.

It should be quite a trip.

To the cliffs of Moher.

Tiny question.

Why did you insist I book

you flight during a full moon?

better runway visibility.

This will show her.

Come on let's go.

That was awesome.

Hey! Police!

Stop!

Trick or Treat dweeb.

Kyle!

You didn't think you could

get rid of me that easy.

Thought you two might want to catch up.

Thanks dad.

So where's the party?

In here.

Everyone, this is my friend Kyle.

- Kyle, this is everyone.

- Hi.

Hey Kyle.

Thanks Brandon.

Nachos.

Hey, sorry I'm late.

Where's your costume?

Well I'm pretending to be a police chief.

I don't think I'm fooling anyone.

Here.

I don't need this anymore.

And cancel the goat.

Gotcha.

Not the biggest turnout.

Oh well, at least it's the

people that matter the most.

I think we need more candles Jake.

- Will you help me?

- Sure.

Where are they?

There should be some on the top shelf.

- These do?

- Yeah, those are fine.

something I have to tell you.

Thanks to Martha and her minions,

with the city council

meeting tomorrow, I mean,

let's face it, they're going to win.

You've got friends. We'll stand up for you.

No, that's not enough.

So what are you saying?

I'll have to close the business.

No Cassie.

- I don't have a choice.

- Well, what will you do?

I'll have to sell Grey House.

I'm sure the city would make

an offer just to get rid of me.

No, you said getting

that deed was a good sign.

Well maybe I misread the sign.

I think I have to move on.

No. You can't leave.

Lori...

Just... use your powers

to change their mind.

I think you have the wrong idea about me.

You're a witch.

Lori.

Who says I'm a witch?

You do magic.

I don't want you to go.

Well, I don't think I have a choice.

You appear out of nowhere

and disappear just as fast.

Honey I need a moment

with Cassie. Thank you.

Jake the situation is what it is.

I'm just being a realist. You of
