Plot

Cassie Russell (Catherine Bell) is given little time to plan her stepson Brandon's (Matthew Knight) wedding to Tara (Ashley Leggat). In addition, Martha (Catherine Disher), Middleton's new mayor, wants Cassie to head a silent auction fundraiser for the Middleton Botanical Gardens. When Audrey (Rachel Wilson) arrives in town looking for a job, Cassie hires her to work in her store, Bell, Book & Candle. Audrey even offers to help with the auction. However, Cassie becomes suspicious when items for the auction go missing. She must use her powers, and the help of Martha and husband/police chief Jake (Chris Potter), to uncover the truth.[2]

Meanwhile, Lori (Hannah Endicott-Douglas), now a college student and a fellow writer on the newspaper, is desperate to find a date to her brother's wedding. Jim (Connor Price), the editor of the newspaper, likes Lori, but Lori herself doesn't know that Jim really likes her. He goes out of his way by crashing her dates and ultimately harassing her to show his true feelings for her. Lori finally learns of this and tells Jim that she's not just looking for a date to her brother's wedding, but what she was really looking for was really a boyfriend. The two share their true feelings to each other and kiss. Lori invites Jim to the wedding and end the movie as boyfriend and girlfriend.

Trivia

This is the last "Good Witch" to feature Chris Potter as Jake Russell and Matthew Knight as Brandon Russell. Brandon was aged up and recast for the Television Series with Dan Jeannotte taking over the role and Jake was killed off between "Wonder" and the Good Witch series due to scheduling conflicts with Chris Potter's work on Heartland.[4]
