The venue for Middleton's bicentennial celebration will be Grey House. Cassie, the good witch, is transforming it into a bed and breakfast, and her single guest, Nick Chasen, claims to be a distant cousin. He shows documents proving he is the heir of the builder, the colonial-era captain Hamblin, whereas the Grey lady was his mistress and stole the property. Before she is practically disowned, the police chief and her lover, Jake Russell, goes to great lengths to encourage her to fight and disprove the claim. Local miscreants Steve and Duke dare Brandon to pass a rascals' initiation. The gardening abilities of George result in a romantic relationship.
