THE ENCHANTING CASSIE NIGHTINGALE IS BACK WITH DAUGHTER GRACE BY HER SIDE AND TOGETHER THEIR SPELLBINDING CHARM IS NO MATCH FOR MIDDLETON’S NEWEST NEIGHBORS Catherine Bell, Bailee Madison and James Denton Star The bewitching Cassie Nightingale returns with her signature magical touch and this time, it’s all in the family! In Episode 1001: Starting Over… Again, Cassie (Catherine Bell) and her small town of Middleton have experienced great loss and new beginnings. After the tragic death of her husband, Chief of Police Jake Russell, Cassie is raising their daughter Grace (Bailee Madison), who is now a bright teenager with her own supernatural intuition, something she undoubtedly inherited from her knowing mother. The ever-charming Cassie also has a new next-door neighbor, single dad and successful doctor Sam Radford (James Denton), who has just moved from New York City with his son Nick (Rhys Matthew Bond). Sam is having trouble acclimating to the small-town way of life, especially after encountering the scoffing eye of Middleton’s mayor, Martha (Catherine Disher). In her magical way, Cassie attempts to help him settle in, but when he finds out the residents of Middleton have forgone doctor’s visits in favor of Cassie’s peculiar brand of elixirs and herbs, Sam clashes with Cassie. At school, Sam’s son Nick, a misunderstood teen, is already trying to make his dad ship him back to the city—by causing trouble. But when Grace gets entangled in one of Nick’s rule-breaking schemes, she has to decide if she’ll take the fall for his offense. Meanwhile, Cassie welcomes her stepchildren Lori (Hannah Endicott-Douglas) and Brandon (Dan Jeannotte) home, but when Brandon gathers the courage to tell his family about a meaningful change in his future, he upsets the whole family just as Middleton prepares a special memorial to honor Jake. While Cassie uses her special charm to conjure up a plan to end her stubborn stalemate with Sam, Lori unexpectedly intervenes to save Brandon’s new job. And when Cassie and her family finally come together for the powerful memorial at City Hall, the good witch wonders what the universe has in store, and one thing is for certain—new things are brewing in Middleton!
