The show is growing on me. At first I didn't really like it and it didn't keep my interest, but this episode was pretty enjoyable. Definitely my favorite of the series so far.

I agree, treeofdreams, Cassie was a total bad-ass during the billiards game! I sometimes forget what a full life she had before moving to Middleton. So many life experiences, travels, and skills. She's amazing!

I just watched the episode where Grace's boyfriend gets into a far off college and Abigail's love interest decides not to move to Middleton. I thought it was great, and noticed that it highlights a more subtle 'magic', where the Grey House women manipulate events and the price that is paid for that manipulation. Abigail was so determined to have her love interest (don't recall his name) stay in town that she manipulated events to speed up the process. Who knows if she had let nature take its course, what would have happened. Now no one is going to buy the mill, which would have helped the town. I actually wondered for a moment if the love interest had contacted the other buyers to make up for changing his mind, and then Abigail sabotaged that plan. At the same time, we see Cassie letting things play out with her fiance, not trying to make him create a shorter guest list, and going with the flow. And it works out for her in the end because they end up on the same page. Then we have Grace, who is still learning about manipulating events, her ability to do so, and whether the cost is worth it. I find it interesting and entertaining.

I'm still enjoying this show. I like the relationships between the characters and I guess I just don't need a lot to happen to enjoy watching. I like the characters, like that there's not too much drama. I'm interested to see what happens with the sister and her new love interest. I would like some more 'magic' in the show but I'll keep watching as it is as well. It's the first thing I watch when it's available on my DVR. Makes me feel good so I hope they don't cancel it! I don't want to watch shows with endless drama, action, and violence all the time. It's nice when people get along and if something bad happens, it's handled maturely and respectfully. I'm just a boring person! LOL and this show's for me. I don't like Grace's boyfriend and I thought it was messed up that he made her miss the dance after she worked so hard on it. He could be more understanding and not so into himself. I like the mayor, she's a love-to-be-annoyed-with type character and I find her amusing.

I actually liked the deal that they made for the wine fraud guy. I would like to see a spinoff series about them tracking down wine fraud, similar to White Collar. Enjoying the show so far for what it is.
