Good Witch (2015) s03e09 Episode Script
Not Getting Married Today, Part 1
1 - Previously on Good Witch: - You'd wanna hang out sometime? I'd like that.
I look forward to every minute whenever I'm with you.
So stick around, OK? I'm not going anywhere.
- You said you'd never get married again.
- I meant that.
(cheerful music) (leaves rustling) (leaves rustling) Welcome to Grey House.
I'm Cassie.
- What's your name? - Pavla.
Hey, Pavla.
- Are you here with your parents? - They're not here anymore.
- Hmm.
- Pavla? Well, somebody wants to know where you are.
Pavla? Pavla, you scared us.
I just wanted to find out what was over here.
- Are you looking to stay here? - A few nights, yeah.
We just adopted our first daughter.
Congratulations! She saw your sign and she was curious what a "Grey House" was.
Why don't you go help get your things out of your car and then come in and see what your room looks like? - OK.
- OK.
Oh, it's a big change for a girl her age.
For all of us.
Eddie and I have wanted children for so long and her parents died in a car accident last year, leaving her with no family.
That's horrible I just hope that we're able to love that little girl as much as I'm sure they must have.
Pavla is very fortunate to have parents like you.
And I'm sure you're going to make a wonderful family.
Hey.
- Uh - What? Who are you talking to? Noah.
He's visiting his mom in New York.
- Oh.
Say hi to him for me.
- Hm.
Waving hand emoji from Nick! Send.
OK, we gotta go.
- Uhh, we've still got time! - No, no, no.
Come on! Come on! Come ooon! - OK - Where are you going? - Nick is taking me to see a movie.
- Yeah, um Courtney decided we should be going on actual dates, so - But you guys are together all the time! - Are we? I mean, it seems like it Well, I mean, can you blame me? - OK, we'll see you later.
- Bye.
Have fun.
- Hey.
- Oh, I was just about to come looking for you.
I was organizing some jewelry in my shop and I found these.
Thought they'd look good on you.
- Those would look good on me.
- What's all that? - Paperwork.
- Aren't there computers for that? Yes.
And that one isn't working.
So you have to go through it all by hand? Ew.
No, I don't mind.
It gives me a chance to look back at the names of people who've stayed here whose lives were different when they left.
I never thought about it like that.
Those people are kind of your legacy.
I don't know, I think we all live on through the differences we make.
Then I'm hardly living on at all.
You've made a lot of differences in people's lives and I'm sure you'll be making a lot more.
Yeah - Well, thanks for the earrings.
- Mhm.
Hello, Sam.
Hey.
What are you working on? - Oh, some Grey House business.
- Keeping the lights on, you know.
So do you have anything going on tonight? - Nope.
- What about tomorrow night? - I don't think so.
- And the night after that? - I'm pretty sure I'm free.
- Hm.
Do you wanna make some sort of plans? Oh, I don't know.
But now I know we can if we want to.
Then I'll make sure to keep my future open, just in case.
(light-hearted music) (door tinkling) - Oh! Good morning, Martha.
- It certainly is.
- Have you heard the news? - No, what news? I don't know if I should be the one to announce it, but There's going to be a wedding in Middleton! - A wedding? - Yes, and I'm so glad that I got to be the one to tell you, so I could see the look of surprise on your face! (cheerful music) I didn't even know my son was seeing anyone, let alone - about to get married! - Yeah! It's moving along a lot faster than we thought.
Well, you two seem already very much in love.
Yeah.
We are.
At first we were going to have a big party just to announce our engagement, and then we started thinking of all the planning a wedding would take and all the money my mother would want to spend.
So we decided, let's just get it done without the hassle.
Even though I consider the planning to be half the fun.
- I know.
We're sorry.
- I have a way - of disappointing my mother.
- No, no It's just, a simple wedding is what we want most of all, and when Michael was telling me about Middleton, it just seemed like the right place to do it.
Well, I think you made the perfect choice, and will be very happy by the time you leave here as husband and wife.
Oh, my goodness, my son is going to have a wife! Yeah, yeah, well, you know, I don't know how it happened, either.
How did you two meet? Michael was a driver for the car service my family uses.
You had a job?! You knew I wanted to start a business like that.
Well, yes, but you didn't tell me you were working.
I wanted to make sure it was going to last before I said anything.
We got to know each other every time he picked me up.
He was just so good-hearted and it seems old-fashioned to say, but kind.
He takes after his mother that way.
Well, Vanessa, you can get settled here in Grey House while I get all of the arrangements in place for your wedding.
Mom, we don't really need any arrangements.
(Sigh!) Thank you.
Michael, you at least need a place for the ceremony, a few flowers to spruce things up a bit, and a cake to celebrate with after.
We don't want anybody to go to any trouble.
Vanessa, I used to be a wedding planner.
This isn't trouble, this is fun.
Well, I guess it'd be OK if you want to put something together.
- But nothing too complicated.
- It will be my pleasure.
So, when will the rest of the family be arriving? I told my mother not to show up until the day before the wedding.
That way she can just come in and enjoy it.
Well, tell her she can have a room here, if she'd like.
Thanks.
Excuse me, is this where the really good doctors hang out? - Joanne? - Look who's here! - What are you doing here? - Oh, I don't know, I just happened to find myself on this part of the globe and decided to look you up.
- Eve, this is my sister - Joanne.
- Nice to meet you.
- Is my brother treating you OK? You could probably use a raise.
You know, she should probably get a raise.
- I like your sister a lot.
- How is Nick? - Taller than last you saw him.
- Wait, he's not twelve anymore.
No.
He's going to love seeing you.
OK, this is all a little bit different than the last time I saw you in New York.
Yeah, a lot of things are different since then.
If that means you're dating somebody, - it had better be someone I like.
- It does.
I am.
You'll like her.
We should all go out to dinner tonight.
- OK, that would be perfect.
- When's my next appointment? You've got half an hour.
Oh, well, lets go to the house and get you settled in.
That would be good.
I could use some rest after the trip.
That's something I hardly ever hear you say.
My sister's hiked halfway around the world.
Which means I still have halfway to go.
(chuckling) Come on.
(silly music) What are you going to do with those? I don't know.
I wasn't expecting them to be so big.
I was going to use them as part of a flower display in the window but Oh, they would take up the whole display.
Yeah.
And they're a bit gaudy to keep out here so I don't know what I'm going to do with them.
(dramatic gasp) Oh, my goodness.
They're perfect! I was looking for something to give Michael and Vanessa's wedding a little extra pizazz and there it is.
You want to use these peacocks at a wedding? - Oh, I want a whole dozen.
- We're having a simple ceremony at city hall but we could put one of these at the end of each row of chairs.
Are you sure that's what Michael and Vanessa want? Oh, please, they don't know what they want.
They're young and in love and they're not thinking straight.
So it's a good thing they have me to think for them.
Now, how quickly can you get me as many as I need? Oh, I can get these shipped here overnight.
Then do it.
ACHOO! Excuse me.
I don't know what Achoo! Achoo! Oh, my goodness.
I don't know what's come over me.
Didn't you once tell me that you were allergic to feathers? - Oh, that's so true.
- It's why I can never wear boas.
Then you probably don't wanna walk down - an aisle lined with these, then.
- I suppose you're right.
We'll just keep it simple, as the bride and groom requested.
- That's probably for the best.
- Achoo! Sorry.
So, what'd you do while you were there? Uh, not a whole lot.
My mom and I used to do a lot of stuff, before she and my dad got divorced.
But now that she married Jason, it's never just the two of us.
He's always there, too, so we don't get to be together.
So, it sounds like the trip was hardly worth it.
I would have rather been here.
When my mom got married, everybody tried to tell me I would be gaining a dad.
But what happened was I lost my mom instead.
So you have to figure out how to get by with just one parent.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Um, there's something I wanted to tell you.
I was waiting until you got back.
OK? I missed you.
I missed you, too.
Do you want to see what I'm doing? This is where I mark everyone coming and going.
And everyone staying here, like you and your new mom and dad.
Why aren't you with them? They said I could look around as long as I stayed in the house.
That's nice of them, letting you explore on your own.
- Yeah, I think I like them.
- I don't know.
Well, when you decide for sure, let them know, OK? OK.
- Did Pavla come through here? - She did.
- We've hardly seen her all day.
- She's been through so much, but we thought once we got her away from the orphanage, she would open up.
I lost my parents at a young age.
That's not something she's just going to forget about.
I'm really sorry to hear that.
I learned to love the people who came into my life and took care of me.
I suspect that Pavla will, too.
I hope so.
Oh, Abigail? I'm getting a delivery of new guest towels tomorrow.
If I'm not around, would you mind putting them in the armoire in the guest room at the end of the hall? 'Cause I'm running this place now? Because I'm asking you to do a favor.
I guess I can do one of those.
I probably should have warned you that my sister is nothing like me.
That's true.
Most of our friends can't figure out how we came out of the same house.
That is kind of weird.
Aunt Joanne actually likes to laugh and have fun, while Dad Well, you know him.
Yeah, I'm not any fun at all.
When were you in Thailand? How did you know that? I picked up a bracelet similar to this when I was - in the Old City of Sukhothai.
- Isn't it gorgeous there? Did you stay at the Piper Tree? - I did.
- It's one of my favorite hotels, second only to the Windsor Arms in Chicago.
How long are you going to stay in Middleton? - Until my brother kicks me out.
- You can stay as long as you like.
And where are you going after this? - You know, I don't really know.
- Well, that's weird.
You usually have the next two or three years mapped out.
Sometimes on an actual map.
It's just, right now, I'm not thinking too far in advance.
But I am very glad I came here when I did.
So I could see my big brother this happy.
You did pick a good time to show up.
When life is pretty good.
Mmm-hmm.
It's a pretty good time for me, too.
(cheerful music) - AAHH! - Shh! I'm playing hide-and-seek.
Um With who? Just me.
I like your earrings.
Thank you.
- Bye.
- Bye.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- Good morning.
- Dinner was fun last night.
- Yeah, I'm glad we were able to do that.
- Stephanie, this is my sister, Joanne.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Stephanie owns the Bistro.
- Oh, then you're the one to ask: how's the coffee? - I can answer that.
- It's the best in town.
Then I will take as much caffeine as you have, to go.
Joanne's still jet-lagged from getting in from Venezuela.
And from being all over the world before that.
I've been trying to add some international cuisine here but it's kind of hard to get the people of Middleton excited about Pisca Andina soup.
Oh, I found the best recipe for that in Caracas.
Would you share it with me? - Yeah, I'll do better than that.
- I'll show you how to make it.
Aw! Well, the coffee is right there and you can help yourself.
OK.
We will.
Thanks.
Thanks.
She seems sweet! - She really is.
- Yeah, really nice.
- Ah, Stephanie.
- Hi.
- I need to talk with you about the cake you'll be making for Michael and Vanessa's wedding.
I I didn't know I was making a cake.
Oh yes, and it needs to be spectacular! Now, I want it to be multi-tiered and I was thinking that each layer could be one of Michael's favorite colours from when he was a boy.
Purple on the bottom, brown in the middle, and bright green on the top! Oh These colours don't really go together.
Of course they do.
It's the same colour scheme I have in my master bedroom.
Are you sure you want such an extravagant cake? Cassie, one should never go low-brow with cake.
I mean, that is just a basic rule of life.
But you wouldn't want to distract from well, the simplicity of their day.
Well, I Well, then, it's a good thing Cassie was here to stop this overzealous mother of the groom from getting out of hand.
We'll just go with a simple sheet cake, white frosting.
I think that's an excellent idea.
I thought that son of mine would boomerang in and out of our house for years.
But Michael seems to have actually grown up.
The love of a woman has a way of changing a man.
Yes, and now he's found someone else to take care of him.
Well, good luck with that, Vanessa, good luck.
We're gonna decorate City Hall with just a few flowers, and then have a small reception at the Bistro after that.
It all sounds perfect.
I can hardly believe you actually did what we wanted.
Well, you were very clear you wanted things to be kept simple and all I had to do was remember what you said.
And frankly, Cassie kept me honest.
- I wonder what's keeping her? - Hello, everybody.
Surprise.
- Mom? - Vanessa.
I told you not to get here until Friday.
Oh well, I decided that one day before the wedding wasn't early enough for me to help with all the things I'm sure need to be done.
Elizabeth, this is my mom.
- Martha, of course.
- Wonderful to meet you.
- Aww.
- Where's Cassie? - She's bringing in my bags.
- She insisted that I say here, even though I told her I would find a hotel.
Oh, but Grey House is the nicest place in Middleton.
Is it? Hm.
Uh, we were just going over some of the wedding plans.
I hope you haven't gotten too far into things.
I think the mother of the bride deserves some say in the matter.
(laughing uncomfortably) - Are you hungry? - I don't know.
- They've got cookies.
- You can pick one out yourself.
That's OK.
- Can I go sit over there? - Oh, sure.
Oh, hello.
Hi Abigail.
Marla just stopped off to buy a few things.
Can Pavla sit here while I get her a cookie? Yeah, I can keep an eye on her, sure.
Thanks.
I'll just be a minute.
Your new parents seem really nice.
My other parents were really nice, too.
But they went away one day and never came back.
That kind of happened with my dad, too.
Did he die? He just never came back.
I'm sorry you got so sad.
I'm sorry you did, too.
These earrings I lent you look really good on you.
Thank you.
Thanks for letting me borrow your history notes for the classes I missed.
I hope you could read my handwriting.
Are you kidding? It was neat as the Magna Carta.
Which, thanks to your notes, I know what that is.
Well, I'm glad that I could help.
You know, my dad, he was really big into history.
He'd say that every day that you're alive could end up being one that they study forever, so make sure that you pay attention to it.
How old were you when he died? I had just turned eleven.
- Yuck.
- Yeah.
You know, he, um he had this thing where he would bring me a yellow daisy and he would say, "Grace, "the only thing brighter than this flower "is your smile, so let's see it.
" No matter how sad I was, it always worked.
I remember coming here with him, too.
I would ask him to push me higher and higher, hoping that I would wind up going all the way around.
Not possible, I found out.
- Because physics.
- Yup.
But I think we could give it a try.
What? I think we could get you halfway around.
- Hold on.
- Noah! (giggling) Now, I was thinking that we could put seating for the guests in the hallway and then do the ceremony up here.
And then the bride can walk down an aisle in between the folding chairs There's going to be folding chairs? Well, people have to sit on something.
But do they have to be sitting here? A city hall doesn't seem like the kind of place that people should be married in.
It's where people come - to get divorced.
- A lot of other wonderful things happen in this building, too.
Vanessa, this is not the extravagant wedding that you talked about having when you were a little girl.
Mom, I was, like, six.
But you always knew what you wanted, even then.
So we need to find another place.
- We don't really have time for that.
- Of course we do.
Martha can start showing me options right away.
I'm sure Martha will help you find the perfect place.
She always has a way of leading people right to where they're supposed to be.
Well, I suppose I could do that.
Come with me and I'll show you the best this town has to offer.
That is exactly what I want to see.
Middleton awaits! This way.
You hardly ate any dinner.
Is that your subtle way of saying your big brother can't cook? No, it was great.
I'm just not really that hungry.
Hey, are you up for a game of dominoes? I still have our tally from the last time we played.
Maybe tomorrow.
I just, I think I need to get to bed.
OK.
Why don't you just finish your homework.
- I'll do the dishes.
- Sounds like a fair deal to me.
- So, when were you planning to tell me? - I wasn't planning to.
You thought your brother the doctor wouldn't figure it out? Maybe I was hoping you weren't as smart as you used to be.
You're tired, your appetite's down, you're not making plans to travel like you always do I really don't want to talk about this.
I know.
And I'm the guy who's going to let you not? (heavy sigh) OK.
Um I've been diagnosed with episodic ataxia.
- Is it Friedreich's? - No.
They don't really know what type it is, exactly.
They say it's not fatal but it's probably degenerative.
I've already had some muscle weakness.
Joanne You know, they gave me all this information to read about it, but I don't want to be defined by something that's written in a pamphlet.
I want to see it all.
And I'm gonna talk with your doctor.
OK, no.
See, you don't have to do that.
- You actually think I won't? - I guess I should have figured my brother the doctor would force his way into this.
I'm not doing this because I'm a doctor.
I'm doing it because you're my sister.
(cheerful music) (door chime) - Pavla! - What are you doing here? Just running around.
Do your parents know where you are? They might.
I don't know.
OK.
One second.
(phone beeping) Cassie, Pavla's here.
Can you let her parents know she's OK? I can go look for them if You did.
OK, I'll keep her here.
- These are pretty.
- Do you want to take one? Yeah.
- You want to hop up? - Mmm-hmm.
You know Your mommy and daddy are probably looking for you.
Why? I'm right here.
But you keep wandering off.
You know they're not my real parents.
But they want to be.
Which means you're gonna have to let them.
Is it scary, thinking about loving new parents when you still remember your other ones? A little bit.
A lot.
You never, ever have to forget about them.
But your new parents? They're gonna love you just as much.
And they're gonna always find you, no matter where you are.
- (door chimes) - Pavla? We were so worried about you! We were shopping together a few stores down.
She disappeared into a clothing rack.
We didn't realize that she would run out the door.
We ran here as fast as we could.
You ran all the way here just to find me? - Of course! - And we always will, wherever you are.
I picked this out for you.
- That's very pretty.
- That's why I picked it.
(chuckling) - Thanks.
- I'm glad she came here.
Me too.
Come on.
- Bye.
- Bye.
(heartwarming music) So, I spoke with your doctor, and she's gonna send over all your charts and some of your test results, and then we'll see if I think we should order any more.
You think more tests are going to show anything different? Well, I want to know what all of our options are.
And I might want to put you on tetrabenazine if you start to experience decreased motor skills.
I think what's good for decreased motor skills would be for me to actually keep using my motor skills.
You want to stay active, sure.
But there are other things we can do.
Sam, I didn't come here for you to fix this.
I just came here because I wanted to see you.
And I'm glad you did.
But this is what I do.
Just let me do it.
OK.
Hello.
Did you find a good place for the wedding? No, and that's why we're here.
We've been all over town but Martha hasn't shown me a venue - yet that I feel is appropriate.
- And I was hoping that you might think of somewhere that I haven't considered.
Well, you could do it at Grey House.
You're not suggesting that my daughter get married at a B&B? Elizabeth is insisting on a place that has a "wow" factor of ten.
Hmm.
Well, then, I hope you find some place that makes you go, "Wow.
" I wish we could find something as beautiful as that.
Oh, that's Henderson's Mill.
It is a stunning place for a wedding, actually, but I didn't want to suggest it for Michael and Vanessa's because it's prohibitively expensive.
- It sounds perfect.
- Do you think it's available? Oh.
At such short notice? Well, I can't even imagine how much it will cost.
Well, that's for me to imagine, so it's a good thing price doesn't matter.
I'm going to call my daughter and have her meet us there.
- It really is a lovely place.
- It is.
You never know what kinds of romantic things might happen there.
Hey.
Oh, hey.
How much studying can one girl do? - (phone chimes) - Sorry.
I was supposed to meet Nick and Courtney but they just texted and said they decided to do things on their own.
They've been doing that a lot, lately.
Being on their own.
Yeah, it's not like it used to be.
Look, I'm sorry to run, but I gotta go home.
So, I'll see you later, then.
Yeah.
Whoa! (laughing) - (whispering): Shh, I'm hiding! - Oh, OK.
Yeah.
Did you see a little girl in here? I might have, - but I don't remember.
- (muffled giggling) I think she might be right - Ah! - Found you! I want to hide again.
Close your eyes and count to 100! OK.
(parents together): One, two, three, four, - five - Are you having fun? - Yeah, but it's so hard.
- They keep finding me! (chuckling): That's a good thing.
13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 - Hey.
- Hey.
- I have something for you.
- Yeah? Hey, would you look at that! It worked.
What is this for? Well, you seemed kind of alone earlier Like you needed something to smile about.
I like to see you smile.
- You do? - Yeah.
So, um thank you for the flower.
His heart waking up again So don't let go Open up your eyes again (cheerful music) We like to set up the dining room so that our guests can enjoy the waterfall as they're having dinner.
- Lovely.
- And we can adapt the outdoor lighting if you decide to have the wedding at night.
What do you think? It's a little more fancy than I thought it was going to be.
- Yeah, I don't know - I think it's perfect.
- Mhm.
Right this way.
- Ooh! Thank you.
Oh, it's wonderful in here.
And there's plenty of room for a band.
I didn't know that you wanted live music.
Well, we have to have something to dance to.
I'd also like to show you the atrium.
It's the perfect place - for photos of the bride and the groom.
- Yeah, - I guess we can take a look.
- Oh, I'd love to see that, too.
Oh.
You don't need to worry about that, Martha.
It's Vanessa's opinion that matters the most.
- Oh Of course.
- It's up to the bride.
I should take a look, though, just to make sure I approve.
Right this way.
- Hello.
- Hi.
How was your day? Good.
- Oh, um, who gave you that? - Noah.
- That was nice of him.
- Yeah.
It was.
The oatstraw tea is good for boosting physical energy and the red clover has some restorative properties for bone and cartilage.
- And what about that one? - What does that one do? Oh! Nothing.
It's just delicious.
Mmm.
And there's that moment right before you taste it when it's actually even better than when you taste it.
- The joy of anticipation.
- I hope you experience as many more of those moments as you want.
I plan to.
- Alright.
- Will I see you tomorrow? Oh, that's right, the Henderson Mill.
I told Stephanie I was gonna help her with the food for the wedding.
And we're having a meeting where the ceremony's going to be.
- Do you want to drive out together? - Yeah.
That'd be great.
- OK.
I'll see you then.
- Goodnight.
Goodnight.
- I really like her.
- I do, too.
So, tell me, does this mean you've changed your mind? About what? You said you never wanted to get married again.
I just know I don't want to risk that kind of failure again.
And I don't want to mess up what Cassie and I have.
So, yeah, I guess I still feel the same way.
That's too bad, then.
Goodnight, Sam.
Goodnight.
Looks like you're all packed up.
Yeah, we're ready to be on our way, although stopping off here was exactly what this family needed.
It's time to go home, Pavla.
Can we play on the computer first? Mmm, I don't think that's working.
I'm so sorry.
I was hoping to have this working before you guys left.
Hmm Oh, look at that.
- This place looks like fun.
- What is it? Oh, it's Universal Orlando Resort.
They have theme parks, and hotels, and a new water park called Volcano Bay.
- Would you like to go there some time? - Can we? Sure.
But right now your parents want to get you home and show you your new house and your very own bed.
I'm sure you'll have a wonderful time together.
As a family.
Oh, I didn't realize you were leaving today.
Yeah.
They're taking Pavla home.
Thank you so much for all you did with our daughter.
She was pretty fun to have around.
You really made a big difference in her life.
Thank you for finding me when I was hiding with the towels.
I'm glad I found you there, too.
- Oh, and the earrings I borrowed? - I put them back in your room.
Yeah, but you know what? I think you should keep them.
- Really? - Mhm.
Thanks! - Bye.
- Bye.
(cheerful music) Everything about this place is perfect.
We can set up the string quartet there and they will play as the bride and groom walk out, and then we will follow down the stairs to where we can serve dinner.
Well, Joanne and I have come up with some - really great international food.
- We're going to have Venezuelan meatballs ready for people to snack on right when they get there.
- You're going to be serving meatballs?! - Yes, but they're Venezuelan We need things to be much more impressive than that.
People are already going to be impressed simply being in this venue.
So we don't want to spoil it by not going all-out with the food.
Maybe it was a mistake to have the local vendors do all of the work.
These "local vendors" can really come through.
Well, I've hardly seen them come through at all.
We have to make some last-minute changes.
And in order to do that, I have to let you go.
There's just no way that any of you can pull off the kind of wedding that I'm asking for now.
Now, I have some people at home that I can contact and have them do the jobs, instead.
Martha, I feel like I've been shirking my responsibility as mother of the bride by letting you do so much of the work, so I think it's best that I take over everything.
- Everything? - Well, I can use you as a helper.
(strained chuckle) Now, I have to take a look out front.
I've got an idea for an extra special way for the bride to arrive and I need to make sure there's room.
Well, I suppose I should inform the proprietor.
I've got a whole pot of Venezuelan meatballs to get rid of.
They say that wedding planning can be one of the most stressful - times in a couple's life.
- Yes, it can be a challenge.
You know, maybe it's a good thing you and my brother will never have to go through it.
What do you mean? Oh, Sam not wanting to get married again.
Oh, Cassie, I'm sorry.
I just figured that you already knew.
No.
Although I can understand why he feels that way.
I'm just surprised I didn't figure it out.
He really does love you.
I do know that.
Yeah.
I love him, too.
I should probably go find Stephanie.
Make sure I'm as fired as she is.
OK.
(mystical music)
I look forward to every minute whenever I'm with you.
So stick around, OK? I'm not going anywhere.
- You said you'd never get married again.
- I meant that.
(cheerful music) (leaves rustling) (leaves rustling) Welcome to Grey House.
I'm Cassie.
- What's your name? - Pavla.
Hey, Pavla.
- Are you here with your parents? - They're not here anymore.
- Hmm.
- Pavla? Well, somebody wants to know where you are.
Pavla? Pavla, you scared us.
I just wanted to find out what was over here.
- Are you looking to stay here? - A few nights, yeah.
We just adopted our first daughter.
Congratulations! She saw your sign and she was curious what a "Grey House" was.
Why don't you go help get your things out of your car and then come in and see what your room looks like? - OK.
- OK.
Oh, it's a big change for a girl her age.
For all of us.
Eddie and I have wanted children for so long and her parents died in a car accident last year, leaving her with no family.
That's horrible I just hope that we're able to love that little girl as much as I'm sure they must have.
Pavla is very fortunate to have parents like you.
And I'm sure you're going to make a wonderful family.
Hey.
- Uh - What? Who are you talking to? Noah.
He's visiting his mom in New York.
- Oh.
Say hi to him for me.
- Hm.
Waving hand emoji from Nick! Send.
OK, we gotta go.
- Uhh, we've still got time! - No, no, no.
Come on! Come on! Come ooon! - OK - Where are you going? - Nick is taking me to see a movie.
- Yeah, um Courtney decided we should be going on actual dates, so - But you guys are together all the time! - Are we? I mean, it seems like it Well, I mean, can you blame me? - OK, we'll see you later.
- Bye.
Have fun.
- Hey.
- Oh, I was just about to come looking for you.
I was organizing some jewelry in my shop and I found these.
Thought they'd look good on you.
- Those would look good on me.
- What's all that? - Paperwork.
- Aren't there computers for that? Yes.
And that one isn't working.
So you have to go through it all by hand? Ew.
No, I don't mind.
It gives me a chance to look back at the names of people who've stayed here whose lives were different when they left.
I never thought about it like that.
Those people are kind of your legacy.
I don't know, I think we all live on through the differences we make.
Then I'm hardly living on at all.
You've made a lot of differences in people's lives and I'm sure you'll be making a lot more.
Yeah - Well, thanks for the earrings.
- Mhm.
Hello, Sam.
Hey.
What are you working on? - Oh, some Grey House business.
- Keeping the lights on, you know.
So do you have anything going on tonight? - Nope.
- What about tomorrow night? - I don't think so.
- And the night after that? - I'm pretty sure I'm free.
- Hm.
Do you wanna make some sort of plans? Oh, I don't know.
But now I know we can if we want to.
Then I'll make sure to keep my future open, just in case.
(light-hearted music) (door tinkling) - Oh! Good morning, Martha.
- It certainly is.
- Have you heard the news? - No, what news? I don't know if I should be the one to announce it, but There's going to be a wedding in Middleton! - A wedding? - Yes, and I'm so glad that I got to be the one to tell you, so I could see the look of surprise on your face! (cheerful music) I didn't even know my son was seeing anyone, let alone - about to get married! - Yeah! It's moving along a lot faster than we thought.
Well, you two seem already very much in love.
Yeah.
We are.
At first we were going to have a big party just to announce our engagement, and then we started thinking of all the planning a wedding would take and all the money my mother would want to spend.
So we decided, let's just get it done without the hassle.
Even though I consider the planning to be half the fun.
- I know.
We're sorry.
- I have a way - of disappointing my mother.
- No, no It's just, a simple wedding is what we want most of all, and when Michael was telling me about Middleton, it just seemed like the right place to do it.
Well, I think you made the perfect choice, and will be very happy by the time you leave here as husband and wife.
Oh, my goodness, my son is going to have a wife! Yeah, yeah, well, you know, I don't know how it happened, either.
How did you two meet? Michael was a driver for the car service my family uses.
You had a job?! You knew I wanted to start a business like that.
Well, yes, but you didn't tell me you were working.
I wanted to make sure it was going to last before I said anything.
We got to know each other every time he picked me up.
He was just so good-hearted and it seems old-fashioned to say, but kind.
He takes after his mother that way.
Well, Vanessa, you can get settled here in Grey House while I get all of the arrangements in place for your wedding.
Mom, we don't really need any arrangements.
(Sigh!) Thank you.
Michael, you at least need a place for the ceremony, a few flowers to spruce things up a bit, and a cake to celebrate with after.
We don't want anybody to go to any trouble.
Vanessa, I used to be a wedding planner.
This isn't trouble, this is fun.
Well, I guess it'd be OK if you want to put something together.
- But nothing too complicated.
- It will be my pleasure.
So, when will the rest of the family be arriving? I told my mother not to show up until the day before the wedding.
That way she can just come in and enjoy it.
Well, tell her she can have a room here, if she'd like.
Thanks.
Excuse me, is this where the really good doctors hang out? - Joanne? - Look who's here! - What are you doing here? - Oh, I don't know, I just happened to find myself on this part of the globe and decided to look you up.
- Eve, this is my sister - Joanne.
- Nice to meet you.
- Is my brother treating you OK? You could probably use a raise.
You know, she should probably get a raise.
- I like your sister a lot.
- How is Nick? - Taller than last you saw him.
- Wait, he's not twelve anymore.
No.
He's going to love seeing you.
OK, this is all a little bit different than the last time I saw you in New York.
Yeah, a lot of things are different since then.
If that means you're dating somebody, - it had better be someone I like.
- It does.
I am.
You'll like her.
We should all go out to dinner tonight.
- OK, that would be perfect.
- When's my next appointment? You've got half an hour.
Oh, well, lets go to the house and get you settled in.
That would be good.
I could use some rest after the trip.
That's something I hardly ever hear you say.
My sister's hiked halfway around the world.
Which means I still have halfway to go.
(chuckling) Come on.
(silly music) What are you going to do with those? I don't know.
I wasn't expecting them to be so big.
I was going to use them as part of a flower display in the window but Oh, they would take up the whole display.
Yeah.
And they're a bit gaudy to keep out here so I don't know what I'm going to do with them.
(dramatic gasp) Oh, my goodness.
They're perfect! I was looking for something to give Michael and Vanessa's wedding a little extra pizazz and there it is.
You want to use these peacocks at a wedding? - Oh, I want a whole dozen.
- We're having a simple ceremony at city hall but we could put one of these at the end of each row of chairs.
Are you sure that's what Michael and Vanessa want? Oh, please, they don't know what they want.
They're young and in love and they're not thinking straight.
So it's a good thing they have me to think for them.
Now, how quickly can you get me as many as I need? Oh, I can get these shipped here overnight.
Then do it.
ACHOO! Excuse me.
I don't know what Achoo! Achoo! Oh, my goodness.
I don't know what's come over me.
Didn't you once tell me that you were allergic to feathers? - Oh, that's so true.
- It's why I can never wear boas.
Then you probably don't wanna walk down - an aisle lined with these, then.
- I suppose you're right.
We'll just keep it simple, as the bride and groom requested.
- That's probably for the best.
- Achoo! Sorry.
So, what'd you do while you were there? Uh, not a whole lot.
My mom and I used to do a lot of stuff, before she and my dad got divorced.
But now that she married Jason, it's never just the two of us.
He's always there, too, so we don't get to be together.
So, it sounds like the trip was hardly worth it.
I would have rather been here.
When my mom got married, everybody tried to tell me I would be gaining a dad.
But what happened was I lost my mom instead.
So you have to figure out how to get by with just one parent.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Um, there's something I wanted to tell you.
I was waiting until you got back.
OK? I missed you.
I missed you, too.
Do you want to see what I'm doing? This is where I mark everyone coming and going.
And everyone staying here, like you and your new mom and dad.
Why aren't you with them? They said I could look around as long as I stayed in the house.
That's nice of them, letting you explore on your own.
- Yeah, I think I like them.
- I don't know.
Well, when you decide for sure, let them know, OK? OK.
- Did Pavla come through here? - She did.
- We've hardly seen her all day.
- She's been through so much, but we thought once we got her away from the orphanage, she would open up.
I lost my parents at a young age.
That's not something she's just going to forget about.
I'm really sorry to hear that.
I learned to love the people who came into my life and took care of me.
I suspect that Pavla will, too.
I hope so.
Oh, Abigail? I'm getting a delivery of new guest towels tomorrow.
If I'm not around, would you mind putting them in the armoire in the guest room at the end of the hall? 'Cause I'm running this place now? Because I'm asking you to do a favor.
I guess I can do one of those.
I probably should have warned you that my sister is nothing like me.
That's true.
Most of our friends can't figure out how we came out of the same house.
That is kind of weird.
Aunt Joanne actually likes to laugh and have fun, while Dad Well, you know him.
Yeah, I'm not any fun at all.
When were you in Thailand? How did you know that? I picked up a bracelet similar to this when I was - in the Old City of Sukhothai.
- Isn't it gorgeous there? Did you stay at the Piper Tree? - I did.
- It's one of my favorite hotels, second only to the Windsor Arms in Chicago.
How long are you going to stay in Middleton? - Until my brother kicks me out.
- You can stay as long as you like.
And where are you going after this? - You know, I don't really know.
- Well, that's weird.
You usually have the next two or three years mapped out.
Sometimes on an actual map.
It's just, right now, I'm not thinking too far in advance.
But I am very glad I came here when I did.
So I could see my big brother this happy.
You did pick a good time to show up.
When life is pretty good.
Mmm-hmm.
It's a pretty good time for me, too.
(cheerful music) - AAHH! - Shh! I'm playing hide-and-seek.
Um With who? Just me.
I like your earrings.
Thank you.
- Bye.
- Bye.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- Good morning.
- Dinner was fun last night.
- Yeah, I'm glad we were able to do that.
- Stephanie, this is my sister, Joanne.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Stephanie owns the Bistro.
- Oh, then you're the one to ask: how's the coffee? - I can answer that.
- It's the best in town.
Then I will take as much caffeine as you have, to go.
Joanne's still jet-lagged from getting in from Venezuela.
And from being all over the world before that.
I've been trying to add some international cuisine here but it's kind of hard to get the people of Middleton excited about Pisca Andina soup.
Oh, I found the best recipe for that in Caracas.
Would you share it with me? - Yeah, I'll do better than that.
- I'll show you how to make it.
Aw! Well, the coffee is right there and you can help yourself.
OK.
We will.
Thanks.
Thanks.
She seems sweet! - She really is.
- Yeah, really nice.
- Ah, Stephanie.
- Hi.
- I need to talk with you about the cake you'll be making for Michael and Vanessa's wedding.
I I didn't know I was making a cake.
Oh yes, and it needs to be spectacular! Now, I want it to be multi-tiered and I was thinking that each layer could be one of Michael's favorite colours from when he was a boy.
Purple on the bottom, brown in the middle, and bright green on the top! Oh These colours don't really go together.
Of course they do.
It's the same colour scheme I have in my master bedroom.
Are you sure you want such an extravagant cake? Cassie, one should never go low-brow with cake.
I mean, that is just a basic rule of life.
But you wouldn't want to distract from well, the simplicity of their day.
Well, I Well, then, it's a good thing Cassie was here to stop this overzealous mother of the groom from getting out of hand.
We'll just go with a simple sheet cake, white frosting.
I think that's an excellent idea.
I thought that son of mine would boomerang in and out of our house for years.
But Michael seems to have actually grown up.
The love of a woman has a way of changing a man.
Yes, and now he's found someone else to take care of him.
Well, good luck with that, Vanessa, good luck.
We're gonna decorate City Hall with just a few flowers, and then have a small reception at the Bistro after that.
It all sounds perfect.
I can hardly believe you actually did what we wanted.
Well, you were very clear you wanted things to be kept simple and all I had to do was remember what you said.
And frankly, Cassie kept me honest.
- I wonder what's keeping her? - Hello, everybody.
Surprise.
- Mom? - Vanessa.
I told you not to get here until Friday.
Oh well, I decided that one day before the wedding wasn't early enough for me to help with all the things I'm sure need to be done.
Elizabeth, this is my mom.
- Martha, of course.
- Wonderful to meet you.
- Aww.
- Where's Cassie? - She's bringing in my bags.
- She insisted that I say here, even though I told her I would find a hotel.
Oh, but Grey House is the nicest place in Middleton.
Is it? Hm.
Uh, we were just going over some of the wedding plans.
I hope you haven't gotten too far into things.
I think the mother of the bride deserves some say in the matter.
(laughing uncomfortably) - Are you hungry? - I don't know.
- They've got cookies.
- You can pick one out yourself.
That's OK.
- Can I go sit over there? - Oh, sure.
Oh, hello.
Hi Abigail.
Marla just stopped off to buy a few things.
Can Pavla sit here while I get her a cookie? Yeah, I can keep an eye on her, sure.
Thanks.
I'll just be a minute.
Your new parents seem really nice.
My other parents were really nice, too.
But they went away one day and never came back.
That kind of happened with my dad, too.
Did he die? He just never came back.
I'm sorry you got so sad.
I'm sorry you did, too.
These earrings I lent you look really good on you.
Thank you.
Thanks for letting me borrow your history notes for the classes I missed.
I hope you could read my handwriting.
Are you kidding? It was neat as the Magna Carta.
Which, thanks to your notes, I know what that is.
Well, I'm glad that I could help.
You know, my dad, he was really big into history.
He'd say that every day that you're alive could end up being one that they study forever, so make sure that you pay attention to it.
How old were you when he died? I had just turned eleven.
- Yuck.
- Yeah.
You know, he, um he had this thing where he would bring me a yellow daisy and he would say, "Grace, "the only thing brighter than this flower "is your smile, so let's see it.
" No matter how sad I was, it always worked.
I remember coming here with him, too.
I would ask him to push me higher and higher, hoping that I would wind up going all the way around.
Not possible, I found out.
- Because physics.
- Yup.
But I think we could give it a try.
What? I think we could get you halfway around.
- Hold on.
- Noah! (giggling) Now, I was thinking that we could put seating for the guests in the hallway and then do the ceremony up here.
And then the bride can walk down an aisle in between the folding chairs There's going to be folding chairs? Well, people have to sit on something.
But do they have to be sitting here? A city hall doesn't seem like the kind of place that people should be married in.
It's where people come - to get divorced.
- A lot of other wonderful things happen in this building, too.
Vanessa, this is not the extravagant wedding that you talked about having when you were a little girl.
Mom, I was, like, six.
But you always knew what you wanted, even then.
So we need to find another place.
- We don't really have time for that.
- Of course we do.
Martha can start showing me options right away.
I'm sure Martha will help you find the perfect place.
She always has a way of leading people right to where they're supposed to be.
Well, I suppose I could do that.
Come with me and I'll show you the best this town has to offer.
That is exactly what I want to see.
Middleton awaits! This way.
You hardly ate any dinner.
Is that your subtle way of saying your big brother can't cook? No, it was great.
I'm just not really that hungry.
Hey, are you up for a game of dominoes? I still have our tally from the last time we played.
Maybe tomorrow.
I just, I think I need to get to bed.
OK.
Why don't you just finish your homework.
- I'll do the dishes.
- Sounds like a fair deal to me.
- So, when were you planning to tell me? - I wasn't planning to.
You thought your brother the doctor wouldn't figure it out? Maybe I was hoping you weren't as smart as you used to be.
You're tired, your appetite's down, you're not making plans to travel like you always do I really don't want to talk about this.
I know.
And I'm the guy who's going to let you not? (heavy sigh) OK.
Um I've been diagnosed with episodic ataxia.
- Is it Friedreich's? - No.
They don't really know what type it is, exactly.
They say it's not fatal but it's probably degenerative.
I've already had some muscle weakness.
Joanne You know, they gave me all this information to read about it, but I don't want to be defined by something that's written in a pamphlet.
I want to see it all.
And I'm gonna talk with your doctor.
OK, no.
See, you don't have to do that.
- You actually think I won't? - I guess I should have figured my brother the doctor would force his way into this.
I'm not doing this because I'm a doctor.
I'm doing it because you're my sister.
(cheerful music) (door chime) - Pavla! - What are you doing here? Just running around.
Do your parents know where you are? They might.
I don't know.
OK.
One second.
(phone beeping) Cassie, Pavla's here.
Can you let her parents know she's OK? I can go look for them if You did.
OK, I'll keep her here.
- These are pretty.
- Do you want to take one? Yeah.
- You want to hop up? - Mmm-hmm.
You know Your mommy and daddy are probably looking for you.
Why? I'm right here.
But you keep wandering off.
You know they're not my real parents.
But they want to be.
Which means you're gonna have to let them.
Is it scary, thinking about loving new parents when you still remember your other ones? A little bit.
A lot.
You never, ever have to forget about them.
But your new parents? They're gonna love you just as much.
And they're gonna always find you, no matter where you are.
- (door chimes) - Pavla? We were so worried about you! We were shopping together a few stores down.
She disappeared into a clothing rack.
We didn't realize that she would run out the door.
We ran here as fast as we could.
You ran all the way here just to find me? - Of course! - And we always will, wherever you are.
I picked this out for you.
- That's very pretty.
- That's why I picked it.
(chuckling) - Thanks.
- I'm glad she came here.
Me too.
Come on.
- Bye.
- Bye.
(heartwarming music) So, I spoke with your doctor, and she's gonna send over all your charts and some of your test results, and then we'll see if I think we should order any more.
You think more tests are going to show anything different? Well, I want to know what all of our options are.
And I might want to put you on tetrabenazine if you start to experience decreased motor skills.
I think what's good for decreased motor skills would be for me to actually keep using my motor skills.
You want to stay active, sure.
But there are other things we can do.
Sam, I didn't come here for you to fix this.
I just came here because I wanted to see you.
And I'm glad you did.
But this is what I do.
Just let me do it.
OK.
Hello.
Did you find a good place for the wedding? No, and that's why we're here.
We've been all over town but Martha hasn't shown me a venue - yet that I feel is appropriate.
- And I was hoping that you might think of somewhere that I haven't considered.
Well, you could do it at Grey House.
You're not suggesting that my daughter get married at a B&B? Elizabeth is insisting on a place that has a "wow" factor of ten.
Hmm.
Well, then, I hope you find some place that makes you go, "Wow.
" I wish we could find something as beautiful as that.
Oh, that's Henderson's Mill.
It is a stunning place for a wedding, actually, but I didn't want to suggest it for Michael and Vanessa's because it's prohibitively expensive.
- It sounds perfect.
- Do you think it's available? Oh.
At such short notice? Well, I can't even imagine how much it will cost.
Well, that's for me to imagine, so it's a good thing price doesn't matter.
I'm going to call my daughter and have her meet us there.
- It really is a lovely place.
- It is.
You never know what kinds of romantic things might happen there.
Hey.
Oh, hey.
How much studying can one girl do? - (phone chimes) - Sorry.
I was supposed to meet Nick and Courtney but they just texted and said they decided to do things on their own.
They've been doing that a lot, lately.
Being on their own.
Yeah, it's not like it used to be.
Look, I'm sorry to run, but I gotta go home.
So, I'll see you later, then.
Yeah.
Whoa! (laughing) - (whispering): Shh, I'm hiding! - Oh, OK.
Yeah.
Did you see a little girl in here? I might have, - but I don't remember.
- (muffled giggling) I think she might be right - Ah! - Found you! I want to hide again.
Close your eyes and count to 100! OK.
(parents together): One, two, three, four, - five - Are you having fun? - Yeah, but it's so hard.
- They keep finding me! (chuckling): That's a good thing.
13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 - Hey.
- Hey.
- I have something for you.
- Yeah? Hey, would you look at that! It worked.
What is this for? Well, you seemed kind of alone earlier Like you needed something to smile about.
I like to see you smile.
- You do? - Yeah.
So, um thank you for the flower.
His heart waking up again So don't let go Open up your eyes again (cheerful music) We like to set up the dining room so that our guests can enjoy the waterfall as they're having dinner.
- Lovely.
- And we can adapt the outdoor lighting if you decide to have the wedding at night.
What do you think? It's a little more fancy than I thought it was going to be.
- Yeah, I don't know - I think it's perfect.
- Mhm.
Right this way.
- Ooh! Thank you.
Oh, it's wonderful in here.
And there's plenty of room for a band.
I didn't know that you wanted live music.
Well, we have to have something to dance to.
I'd also like to show you the atrium.
It's the perfect place - for photos of the bride and the groom.
- Yeah, - I guess we can take a look.
- Oh, I'd love to see that, too.
Oh.
You don't need to worry about that, Martha.
It's Vanessa's opinion that matters the most.
- Oh Of course.
- It's up to the bride.
I should take a look, though, just to make sure I approve.
Right this way.
- Hello.
- Hi.
How was your day? Good.
- Oh, um, who gave you that? - Noah.
- That was nice of him.
- Yeah.
It was.
The oatstraw tea is good for boosting physical energy and the red clover has some restorative properties for bone and cartilage.
- And what about that one? - What does that one do? Oh! Nothing.
It's just delicious.
Mmm.
And there's that moment right before you taste it when it's actually even better than when you taste it.
- The joy of anticipation.
- I hope you experience as many more of those moments as you want.
I plan to.
- Alright.
- Will I see you tomorrow? Oh, that's right, the Henderson Mill.
I told Stephanie I was gonna help her with the food for the wedding.
And we're having a meeting where the ceremony's going to be.
- Do you want to drive out together? - Yeah.
That'd be great.
- OK.
I'll see you then.
- Goodnight.
Goodnight.
- I really like her.
- I do, too.
So, tell me, does this mean you've changed your mind? About what? You said you never wanted to get married again.
I just know I don't want to risk that kind of failure again.
And I don't want to mess up what Cassie and I have.
So, yeah, I guess I still feel the same way.
That's too bad, then.
Goodnight, Sam.
Goodnight.
Looks like you're all packed up.
Yeah, we're ready to be on our way, although stopping off here was exactly what this family needed.
It's time to go home, Pavla.
Can we play on the computer first? Mmm, I don't think that's working.
I'm so sorry.
I was hoping to have this working before you guys left.
Hmm Oh, look at that.
- This place looks like fun.
- What is it? Oh, it's Universal Orlando Resort.
They have theme parks, and hotels, and a new water park called Volcano Bay.
- Would you like to go there some time? - Can we? Sure.
But right now your parents want to get you home and show you your new house and your very own bed.
I'm sure you'll have a wonderful time together.
As a family.
Oh, I didn't realize you were leaving today.
Yeah.
They're taking Pavla home.
Thank you so much for all you did with our daughter.
She was pretty fun to have around.
You really made a big difference in her life.
Thank you for finding me when I was hiding with the towels.
I'm glad I found you there, too.
- Oh, and the earrings I borrowed? - I put them back in your room.
Yeah, but you know what? I think you should keep them.
- Really? - Mhm.
Thanks! - Bye.
- Bye.
(cheerful music) Everything about this place is perfect.
We can set up the string quartet there and they will play as the bride and groom walk out, and then we will follow down the stairs to where we can serve dinner.
Well, Joanne and I have come up with some - really great international food.
- We're going to have Venezuelan meatballs ready for people to snack on right when they get there.
- You're going to be serving meatballs?! - Yes, but they're Venezuelan We need things to be much more impressive than that.
People are already going to be impressed simply being in this venue.
So we don't want to spoil it by not going all-out with the food.
Maybe it was a mistake to have the local vendors do all of the work.
These "local vendors" can really come through.
Well, I've hardly seen them come through at all.
We have to make some last-minute changes.
And in order to do that, I have to let you go.
There's just no way that any of you can pull off the kind of wedding that I'm asking for now.
Now, I have some people at home that I can contact and have them do the jobs, instead.
Martha, I feel like I've been shirking my responsibility as mother of the bride by letting you do so much of the work, so I think it's best that I take over everything.
- Everything? - Well, I can use you as a helper.
(strained chuckle) Now, I have to take a look out front.
I've got an idea for an extra special way for the bride to arrive and I need to make sure there's room.
Well, I suppose I should inform the proprietor.
I've got a whole pot of Venezuelan meatballs to get rid of.
They say that wedding planning can be one of the most stressful - times in a couple's life.
- Yes, it can be a challenge.
You know, maybe it's a good thing you and my brother will never have to go through it.
What do you mean? Oh, Sam not wanting to get married again.
Oh, Cassie, I'm sorry.
I just figured that you already knew.
No.
Although I can understand why he feels that way.
I'm just surprised I didn't figure it out.
He really does love you.
I do know that.
Yeah.
I love him, too.
I should probably go find Stephanie.
Make sure I'm as fired as she is.
OK.
