- There can't be a fire out here. We'll have to find another place to do your reading. You've decided to start dating three men at the same time. - Only when the others aren't here. - How's Grace? - She wants to give rock climbing a try. - Grace. (ETHEREAL MUSIC) - How are things in Tarynsville? - (CHUCKLES) Still a day before Halloween. - Mm. Well, it can't stay like that forever. Not if the Enchantress gets her way. - (CHUCKLES) - Do you know if Grace is back yet? - No, I haven't seen her. - She and Courtney went out earlier, but they were supposed to be back by now. (MACHINE BEEPS) - (SIGHS) It looks like a concussion. Possible shoulder injury. - Blood pressure is below normal. - All right, make sure we keep her stable while we look for other signs of trauma, possible fractures. Keep a close watch on her vitals. How did this happen? - She wanted to go rock climbing, even though she had never been before, and... she thought she could make the grab, but she couldn't reach it. - How far did she fall? - I don't know, like 10 feet. But she hit the ground really hard. (SCOFFS) And now she's here because of me. - Except I was the one who told her to get outside more. It's not your fault. (INDISTINCT PA CHATTER) - (SIGHS) - Sam! - She's gonna be OK. - Then why is she in hospital? - There was an accident. She fell, but she's gonna be OK. - I wanna see her. - As soon as she wakes up. - When will that be? - Any minute. - That's not an answer. - Cassie, this is not some patient I don't know. OK? It's Grace. But I need to get back in there. - OK. Just take care of her. - OK. (FOOTSTEPS RECEDE) (GENTLE MUSIC) - I was so hoping that that courtyard would be the perfect place for your midnight book reading. - Except it didn't look like the one from Jessica's books at all. - Well, we'll just have to keep looking until we find the perfect location. - We had the perfect location at Grey House until we were told we couldn't use it. - And no one was more shocked than I when Cassie gave us the news. Usually, she's the most reliable person in town although, every once in a while, she does go a little woo-woo on us all. - We should just have the reading in New York, like it was planned. - No! (SIGHS) Ah. This town is being turned into Tarynsville, just as I said it would be, and unlike some people around here, I stick to my word. (CELL PHONE RINGS) Excuse me. (CHUCKLES) This is the mayor! Oh, dear. W` Is she gonna be all right? Is Cassie with her? Please, tell Cassie that if there is anything that she needs, anything at all, I'm right here for her. Thank you. Oh my. (INDISTINCT CHATTER) - Oh. We came as soon as we heard. - We're staying with you. - The both of us. - Thanks. (PHONE RINGS DISTANTLY) OK. I just wanna be able to see her, so she can see me and know that I'm here with her. - Grace is waking up. - (SIGHS IN RELIEF) (FOOTSTEPS RECEDE) - Grace, can you hear me? - We're here, honey. - Grace? (GENTLE MUSIC) - Dad? ('THE GOOD WITCH' THEME MUSIC) Captions by Able. Captions were made with the support of NZ On Air. www.able.co.nz Copyright Able (SIREN WAILS DISTANTLY) - Thank you. - You have a mild concussion, but it will dissipate after a long period of rest. - And then you're gonna be just fine. - OK. Ooh! Ow! (HISSES) - Yeah, that shoulder's gonna be tender for a while too. Do you have pain anywhere else? - (SIGHS) It might be easier if I tell you where I don't hurt. - (CHUCKLES) All that will go away in a few days too. - SOFTLY: Thanks. You were here when I woke up. - Of course. - (SIGHS) It was weird. I just remember thinking... - You were calling out for your dad. - Yeah. I think that I just forgot. - Mm, yeah. (CRICKETS CHIRP) (KNOCK ON DOOR) - (CHUCKLES) Carl! Did we have a date? - No. But I have a reservation. - To stay here? - Yeah, there was this internet special. Staying at Grey House comes with a free invitation to the book release party, so I get to go to that too. - I didn't even know you liked the books. - Well, somebody must have, because the only place in town with any rooms left was right here, and it's like they saved one just for me. - Hm! OK. There's a room at the end of the hall. Take a left, and it's just at the end of the hall there. - Top, left, end. - Yes. (INHALES, CLICKS TONGUE) (DOOR OPENS) - MAN: Knock-knock. - Brian? (LAUGHS AWKWARDLY) - Guess who got an invitation to the book release? - You did. - I was on this ticket broker site and an ad popped up to stay at Grey House and go the party for free. - You didn't even mention that you even wanted to come! - Because I didn't think I'd get the chance, but... somehow, here I am. - Here you are. Why don't we put you in one of our most secluded rooms? It's, um, at the top of the stairs, you take a right, and then it's way at the end of the hall. - Way at the end? - Way at the end! - Sounds great! - (SIGHS) - Abigail. - Dennis. (LAUGHS NERVOUSLY) (BRIGHT MUSIC) (ENGINE RUMBLES) - (SIGHS) We tried to make it look exactly like the restaurant in your books. - It's pretty close, yeah! (CHUCKLES) - Now, if you'll follow me, I have a variety of MupCakes for you to taste and see which ones you like best. - Maybe you should just pack them to go. We can eat them on the way back. I probably should have insisted that we have the book launch in New York the first place. - No, don't be silly. Come and sit down. (CHUCKLES) Come on, have a seat. Look, I have got my brand-new ovens all warmed up. (LAUGHS) (CLEARS THROAT) Now... What do you think... of this one? - It's pretty good! - WHISPERS: Yeah. - I really don't like it. I'm sorry. - Oh! Oh, OK, well, uh... (CHUCKLES) there are plenty more... for you try... This one next. Here you go. - Oh, this one's not bad. - Are you kidding? (CHUCKLES) I'm sorry. Next. - I am sure we can find one that you both agree will be perfect. - Well, I like the frosting on this one. - Good! That's orange-flavoured. - Mm. With a cupcake like that? - Uh, well, that's cherry. - Oh yeah, that'd taste great. - Mm-hm. - (CHUCKLES SOFTLY) I don't think they really go together... - Unless... Maybe they do? - Well, let's find out. (PLAYFUL MUSIC) - Voila! Mm! - Mm-hm. - Yes, we have a MupCake winner! - (CHUCKLES) Oh, and will you check with Abigail? She had some flowers in her shop that are the perfect shade of orange. Maybe you can work with her, so these will match that? - Sure. I'll work with her. - Great. Hey, don't hog it all. I want more. - Hm? - (CHUCKLES) Oh! You got frosting on my nose. - You got your nose in my frosting. - (LAUGHS) - So, how are you feeling? - Better. I mean, things still hurt but, uh... it's starting to be not as much. - I feel so bad about what happened. - Why? Did you push me when I wasn't looking? - (CHUCKLES) It's just... we wouldn't have been there if it wasn't for me. - I'm pretty sure I was the one who said, 'Hey, let's go rock climbing.' - (CHUCKLES SOFTLY) - Besides, when I'm feeling all better, I'm gonna wanna get back out there and try it again. - You know, there's plenty of things you're good at doing inside. - Well, I guess I'm more adventurous than you think. - (CHUCKLES) - Oh! We brought you a present! - SOFTLY: Thanks. - Courtney dragged me to five different places before she found the right one. - Yeah, cos I was looking for something specific. - (SNICKERS) - Ah... Let's see. Is this... - Mm-hm! Just like the one Desiree wore when she went looking for the amulet. - I love it. (CHUCKLES) Really, thank you. (GENTLE MUSIC) - Well, it's looking like I won't have to keep Grace here much longer. - Thanks for patching her up so well. - (CHUCKLES) She's a fast healer. You know, I was thinking about what happened yesterday, when she woke up. - Yeah, thinking about her dad. She must really miss him. - Yeah. Well, I think Jake would be very proud of the daughter you're raising. - He would, thanks. - I know she was waking up from a concussion, but it reminded me of a patient I had in New York. She was a professional skier, and she had lost the use of her legs after an accident. She told me that every morning when she woke up she forgot she was paralyzed. And then, remembered. - Every single morning? - Yeah, that's what she said. I wonder if Grace is going through something similar. You know, forgetting, and then remembering. - You know, I... I've never really thought about it; I guess that happens to me too. Just... some mornings, right when I wake up, I realise I'm thinking about Jake and... I remember. (BIRDS CHIRP) (SENTIMENTAL MUSIC) (SENTIMENTAL MUSIC) (BRIGHT MUSIC) - So, how was the first night back in your own bed? - I think I slept really well, but I can't say for sure because, well, I was asleep. - (CHUCKLES) - I looked in on her a couple of times. Well, probably more than a couple of times! She slept well. - Good. In a few days, we'll get you up and moving around, but until then, you stay in this bed. - I can't even go downstairs? Wait, but that... That means I won't be able to make it to the book release. - Oh, Nick told me that that event's probably not even happening. - Well, there's still a few more things to work out, but I think it's all gonna fall into place. - Yeah, except I won't be there. - Hey, she's pouting. It's a good sign! We know her facial muscles work (!) - Hey, do you want me to set these out some place where you can see them? - I'd like that. - Hm, this one's nice. The start of a brand new day. - Yeah! - There. Now every morning when you wake up, this will be the first thing you think about. - Hmm. It's perfect. Thanks. (POIGNANT MUSIC) - There you are. (CHUCKLES) I was lookin' all over. - Sorry, I didn't realise I was hiding. - I can leave you alone. - No! (CHUCKLES) Don't. - (EXHALES) I started packing my stuff. - Me too. I'm kind of ready to get out of here. Maybe by getting away from all this stress, I'll finally come up with something to write about in my next book. - I guess we never should have come here. - You were trying to do something nice for me. - So I should think twice before ever doing that again, huh? - (CHUCKLES) Yeah. (CHILL MUSIC) - Oh! You have two exams set for Friday afternoon, and a follow-up with Mrs Talley on Thursday morning. - Oh, I don't think I can be here both days. Can you schedule them back to back for me? - I'll see what I can do. - OK. What's next week looking like? - Oh, I printed you up a schedule. - (SIGHS) Paul Luttrell wants to see me? - Back pain. - Ah. Lydia Monroe? - Sniffles. - (SIGHS) I miss sniffles. OK, I will, uh... figure out a time to get back here as soon as I can. - I'll keep the orthoscopic light burning! - Martha. What are you doing? - I've decided we might as well put an end to this whole Tarynsville facade. The book release is the day after tomorrow, and I still haven't found a place for the reading. Jessica and Sean are practically halfway out of town already, and there's nothing I can do to stop them. - Look, why don't we go inside and give it a little more thought? - Yes, please. Allow me to wallow in my shame out of the public eye. Thank you. (DOOR CHIMES) I wanted it all to be so perfect! To show my college nemesis that just because I chose to live in a small town doesn't mean I'm not as good as anyone else. Won't you reconsider letting us light a fire in the courtyard at Grey House? - There has to be a better place. - There's not. Not that matches what Jessica is looking for. I suppose that I'm just gonna have to accept the fact that I failed. I might as well go and tell Meredith what I'm sure she'll think is fabulous news. In fact, she'll probably want to capture my defeat on camera, so I should... spruce up my vanquished face. - From where I'm standing, you look just fine. - What's that behind me? (GASPS) - You look like a woman who's seen the light. - I have. I have just thought of the perfect place for Jessica to do her book reading. Oh, Cassie, I've saved the day! (FOOTSTEPS RECEDE) Thank you. - What's going on? - I have figured out where Jessica is going to do her book reading. - (CHUCKLES AWKWARDLY) In my flower shop? - Oh, no, no, no, no, because it didn't use to be a flower shop. I happened to see an old map of Middleton and I remembered that years ago, this room was part of a larger gathering hall where all of the townspeople would meet. - So, which wall is it? - Right back there. When they sectioned off the building, they split up the room, and they walled off a grand fireplace behind there that was the centrepiece of the hall. - It sounds like the perfect place for Jessica to do her reading. - If it looks anything like the fireplace that my Nana used to tell me about, it could be ideal. - Well, I can't promise you a heart and infinity sign carved into the mantle, but there's a good chance it's gonna be exactly what you want. Of course, we'll have to knock down a wall in order to get access. - Knock down a what? Aah! - For heaven's sake, Derek, you have to swing that thing harder. This whole section needs to be completely removed. - CASSIE: Um... - (BANG!) - Have you told whoever's on the other side of this wall that you're knocking through it? - Not yet, but... I'm sure she won't mind. - (BANG!) (WOMAN YELPS) - Oh! (EXHALES) What is going on? - It's for the good of the town, dear. Step back. Hit straight ahead, Derek. Straight ahead! (SIGHS HAPPILY) Be careful. Watch where you step. - This used to be all one big room? - Yeah, I guess we've been sharing it the whole time. - It should be back here. - SEAN: Well... it definitely was. - Oh, no. Ugh! - I guess this isn't going to work. - I am so sorry. I was really hoping that what was back here was gonna be exactly what you were looking for. (CURIOUS MUSIC) - There is something. - Hm! It's just an old wooden box. I don't know how I'm supposed to open this thing. - It's mysterious-looking... like something from Tarynsville. - (CHUCKLES SOFTLY) - Well then, perhaps you should have it. At least you can leave Middleton with something. - Well, it is kind of weird. I do like weird. - Well, I guess there's no point standing around this old collapsed fireplace, huh? - This way, then. Follow the failed leader. - Well, what are we supposed to do with this giant hole in your wall? - (SIGHS) I can live with it for a bit. (FOOTSTEPS RECEDE) (MYSTERIOUS MUSIC) (GENTLE MUSIC) - (SIGHS) So, I guess that didn't work out. I know everyone tried their best, but here it is, one of the most important days of my life, and all we've been doing is running around looking at backyards and fireplaces and not finding a thing. - If we had just kept the book launch in New York, the way it was supposed to be... - Except I don't want things the way they're supposed to be. I want life to be more than that. - I'm sure we can work something out. - I really wanna believe that, Sean, but it's getting harder and harder. So maybe we should just... get out of this place and be done with it all. And I'll stop looking for things that probably aren't even here. - (CHUCKLES) Oh, it looks like George finished painting up there. (ETHEREAL MUSIC) - Has this fireplace been here the whole time? - Hiding a bit, but yes. - (CHUCKLES SOFTLY) It's perfect! It's like, if I was looking for one exactly like the one on the cover of my books. This is practically it. - Well, you're welcome to use it for your book reading, but you may have to light the fire yourself. Unless Nana was right about those things starting themselves. - I can't believe the right thing for me was here all along. - Just waiting for you to find it. - This is good, then. - (EXHALES ELATEDLY) - Uh, we will have the reading here, at midnight, and then the event in the centre of town afterwards. I'm gonna go make sure that everything is exactly how you want it to be. - CASSIE: (SIGHS) Oh. You gonna miss seeing Sean so often after your book comes out? (DOOR CLOSES) There's not so much an editor can do until the writer figures out what to write. - I hadn't really thought about that. If I don't come up with an idea for my next book... I'm not sure I'll see Sean hardly at all. - Hm. Unless you find another reason to. But then, that part of your story hasn't been written yet. - # I'm not scared of ghosts no more. # Not afraid of the dark any more. # Went to that haunted house. You were waiting by the door. # And I'm still the same with you. # I can't keep you hidden up inside. # And you're far too beautiful to hide. # I can change in every way I know how to, # but I'm still the same # with you. # - Who are you and what have you done with my son? - (CHUCKLES SOFTLY) I'm only doing this for the money. - (LAUGHS DISBELIEVINGLY) Words that make... any father proud. Hey, I'm, uh, sorry I'm gonna miss the big performance. I'm still filling in for that out-of-town doctor. - Oh. Then you won't get to hear my British accent. - (CHUCKLES) You can do a British accent? - IN BRITISH ACCENT: 'I most definitely can. I've been practicing all day.' - It's actually pretty good. Way better than anything I could ever do. Every time I do an accent, I sound like I'm from, I don't know, Tennessee! - (CHUCKLES) (LIGHT MUSIC) - If you need anything tonight, Grandpa is right down the hall. - I'm reading the first two Tarynsville books again. I wanna see if my theory about Desiree's sister holds up. - Well, the internet thinks you're right. - Goodnight, sweetie. - Goodnight, Grandpa. (CHUCKLES) - (SIGHS) (FOOTSTEPS RECEDE) Well, I know you're disappointed, knowing that everything's going on without you. - (SIGHS) Yeah. The next time I fall off the side of a cliff, I should really think ahead before doing it. - (CHUCKLES LIGHTLY) Hey, are you sure you don't want me to stay here with you? - No! No, you need to go. Who knows what might happen if my personal favourite enchantress wasn't at her own party? - OK, I will rush a copy of the book to you as soon as it's released. - Yes, and make sure to take a pair of running shoes. That way you can get here extra fast. - I promise to fly. - Fly, fly. (LAUGHS) - SIGHS: Oh. You look like a woman who is ready for a very special occasion. - I can't believe it's finally here. - Ah! I love your dress. - (SIGHS) One other thing I stole from grandma. This was her dress. And I figured... if there was ever a night for me to put it on, this was it. - Well, it looks beautiful on you. - Thank you. And I have a present for you. - That is your book that hasn't been released yet. - I wanted you to be the first to read it. (ALL LAUGH LIGHTLY) So, I'd better let you get started. - Thank you. - Feel better. - WHISPERS: She's so cool! - SOFTLY: Yeah. (INDISTINCT CHATTER) (MYSTERIOUS MUSIC) - IN BRITISH ACCENT: 'Welcome to Tarynsville. I hope you enjoy The Enchantress Unites. 'Welcome to Tarynsville. I hope you enjoy The Enchantress Unites. 'Welcome to Tarynsville. I hope you enjoy The Enchantress Unites.' Welcome... to... Ah. - (LAUGHS) - Courtney. - I'm... really liking this. That's... That's for sure. You know, I think I once owned a blouse just like that. - (CHUCKLES) Yeah. It really brings out my eyes. - It does. (INDISTINCT CHATTER) - Nice job. - What did I do? - You made it so that all three men I'm dating ended up at Grey House with tickets for tonight. - That would take a lot of effort to make that happen. - Except you didn't realise you were up against me. I've managed to keep everybody separate, and nobody is going to know... - Abigail. - Hello, all three of you together... - We heard they were giving away MupCakes before the reading at Grey House and came here to load up. - You know what? They are! There have treats on that table over there and that table over there and that table way over there. So, why don't you guys go to different tables, and then go eat them on your own? - Sure. - Sounds good. - Oh, I... I just wanna say, you look as pretty as all these flowers, and I can't believe I get to be here with you as my date. - Date? - Huh? - Dennis is your date? - I thought I was your date. - Except that she's dating me. - What? - OK... Let me to explain. - You've been dating all three of us at the same time. - And not telling any of us you were doing it. - And we never would have found out if we hadn't all been right here, right now? - That pretty much sums it up. (CHUCKLES) - So... I guess... - (EXHALES) - It's been fun... hanging out with you? - Yeah, but... I'm done with that. - Yep. - And I thought you were going to be the one who was gonna break up with me. - (SCOFFS) So, wait... none of you guys are gonna fight for me? - Why bother? - IN BRITISH ACCENT: 'Welcome to Tarynsville. Enjoy. 'Welcome to Tarynsville. 'Welcome t...' Dad! Uh... I thought you were working at the hospital tonight. - Yeah, well, uh, Dr Zemmick came back early, so I got to come here. Careful with that accent. I heard a little American in there. Hey, Henry! - Dr Radford. - How's that heart holding up? - Still doing its job. - That's what I wanna hear. - I didn't know you were a fan of magic and romance. - Maybe I just like fire jugglers. (CHUCKLES) And how often do you get to see those? - Dr Radford. - Oh hi, Annie. Good to see you on your feet. - Oh, I've been walking 3 miles a day, just like you told me to. - Oh, good for you. Keep it up! - Good night. - Good night. You're popular around here. - Ah, it's nice to be around people I actually know, people I've helped. You know, considering... everything. - You're an excellent doctor. - (SCOFFS) Hm! - And this is where you say, 'Thank you.' - Hm! Thank you. - (LAUGHS) I saved you a seat at the reading. - You know, um... That's OK. Just go ahead. I'll catch up. - Is something wrong? - No. No, I've just been... - Thinking? - Yeah. Thinking about what you said at the hospital. (SIGHS) About what you... wake up thinking about in the morning, who you're thinking about. Look I get it. I do. You and Grace's dad shared a lot of years together. - He'll always be part of who I am, my journey. - Of course. Sure! - B-B-But it just sort of made me wonder... (SIGHS) Cassie, if he is still on your mind that much, then, it's OK, really. It's OK. But you have a lot of that journey you still have to make a` - Halloween approaches. The witching hour is nigh. Everyone with tickets, please, make you way to Grey House, the reading is about to begin! Chop-chop! Lead on, boy prince, lead on! (LIGHT MUSIC) (LIGHT MUSIC) (CRICKETS CHIRP) (INDISTINCT CHATTER) (CLOCK TICKS) - (CLAPS) It's almost time. Is everyone ready? - Yes! - Ready. - Got my book, got my chair. I'm all set to go. - Fire. Oh! We need to light the fire. Does anybody have any matches? Nobody has matches? Come on, people, check your pockets. Somebody has to have something we can use to, uh, light a fire! - What's that? - Oh, I was going to give this to you later. - You got me a gift? - I wanted you to remember tonight. - OK, we're... We're ready to roll the camera. - It's going to be a good show. Trust me. - (CHUCKLES LIGHTLY) Sean. It's perfect. - It reminded me of something in your books. - It's a lighter. - I guess this was the right time. - So, let's get that fire going then. Quickly! - (CLEARS THROAT) - I guess I should have bought you one that actually works. (LIGHT CHUCKLING) - It's too bad we're not in Tarynsville. Then this fireplace would just light itself. (CHUCKLES) - Maybe we could use a little of your Nana's magic. - Oh, whoops! - (RATTLES) Sorry. - Well, it's an old house. - Oh my gosh... I think I know who built this fireplace. Because he signed his work. - It's the symbol from the fireplaces in all your books. - And it may be more than that. (CURIOUS MUSIC) (ATTENDEES GASPS) - Well, look at that... - Is there anything inside? - (EXHALES IN DISBELIEF) It's the necklace Nana's husband gave to her, the one that she had to keep hidden. - But how can that be? - Because Nana lived here, in Middleton, and in this house. And the things she told me about those stories that I turned into my books happened right here in Middleton. - Jess, it's time. We have to light that fire. - But it's already lit. (LIGHT EXCLAMATIONS) - All right. OK, let's go. Let's go, let's roll the camera. - Yeah! We're ready. Um... - Oh. - Your hand, that's right. - Thank you. (SOFT, ROMANTIC MUSIC) - READS: 'It was the day before All Hallow's Eve, as it was perpetually in the town of Tarynsville 'because of the curse that had been cast so many years ago. The people of Tarynsville had grown accustomed to this anticipation 'that it was always the day before Halloween but never quite October 31st...' - # Charmed life. # You and I. # Charmed life. # Oh, oh, ho-ho. # Oh, oh, ho-ho. # Oh, oh, ho-ho... (JOY WILLIAMS' 'CHARMED LIFE') # There's a well-lit sky # hanging over everyone that's walking by. # It's plain to see what we got is colouring a world of black and white. # Don't even let it fool ya... # - Well, congratulations. Exactly what you wanted to happen happened. - What was it I wanted to happen again? - Mm, something about how I shouldn't lead men on and blah-blah-blah, Cassie knows best. But I wanted to say thank you. If my three guys hadn't found out what I was doing, I wouldn't have realised how much I actually just want one guy. Someone who... wants to be with me as much as I want to be with them, looks at me the same way Sam's always looking at you. (LIGHT MUSIC) You don't have to thank me for getting you to think about that. (INDISTINCT CHATTER) - I'd say this event was a success. - Yes, but I am exhausted. It will be so wonderful to start tomorrow with something other than fires and witches and cauldrons on my mind. Oh, no offense. - (CHUCKLES LIGHTLY) I agree. I'm looking forward to waking up to a new day. - (CHUCKLES) - That was a real one. - I didn't think Martha was going to be able to pull this off, but somehow she did. - She can be very enchanting. - Yes. Well... I have a very long drive to the airport ahead of me, which is another reason I cannot understand why anyone would want to live in such an out-of-the-way town. - (LAUGHS) - But, you know, to each his own. - Oh, uh, excuse me, Meredith, but aren't you forgetting something? - Hmm? - Martha's on-camera interview. - Oh. Yes. - Oh my goodness, I had completely forgotten all about it! (LAUGHS) Make sure my chyron reads Mayor Martha Tinsdale. Bottom third of the screen; no scrolling. Now, why don't I just hold on to that, shall I? After all, I will be doing most of the talking. (CHUCKLES) - Oh, what a night. - (SIGHS) - I thought you two were never gonna come home. - Everything was so amazing. Middleton ended up being the perfect place. The place. So it's a good thing my editor suggested that we come here. - Yeah, it was... Our phones stopped working. We just, sort of, found it. - Mm. I'm making some tea for Grace. Would you like some? - Oh! No, thanks. I just wanna sit out in that courtyard and soak up the spirit of Grey House, so I can start writing as soon as I get home. It's gonna be the history of Tarynsville, all the things that happened before the darkness set in, how the town was built, and all the people who inspired it. - That's a story that interests me very much. - Good, because it's gonna be dedicated to you. (FOOTSTEPS RECEDE) - Jessica really liked her gift. - Mm. It's not a ruby necklace, but at least it was something she could use. - Martha told me that necklace is going to the town's museum, but they wanted Jessica to have the box. - What's she going to do with an empty old box? - Maybe it's not so empty. Nana's memories are in there. (ETHEREAL MUSIC) - (CLICK!) (MYSTERIOUS MUSIC) - Thank you. - Looks like the boy prince is off the clock. - (CHUCKLES) Yep. But... I also got paid in full. - (LAUGHS) Nice! Why don't you take me out to dinner tomorrow night? Don't worry, I'll buy. - You're really gonna have time for that? - Yeah. I decided to cut back my hours at the hospital, so I can get back to seeing my patients here in town again. And maybe get to know that kid who lives across the hall from me. - Yeah, well, I really think you're gonna like him. - (CHUCKLES) Well... I'm going to like being this town's doctor again. I might even start making more house calls. - What's a house call? - Are you really that young? - Are you really that old? - (CHUCKLES) (CRICKETS CHIRP) (SOFT MUSIC) - I, uh, found something that belonged to your nana. She kept it hidden with her necklace because she couldn't let people know. Right? - (CHUCKLES, GASPS SOFTLY) Look at that. - No. No, no. That's not how this is done. - Wh...
