When a visiting chef (Constance) is unable to relax as she promised herself and instead wreaks havoc on the Grey House kitchen, Cassie arranges for her to spend a whole day at the stove stirring a special recipe to quiet her mind. Grace is presented with the Merriwick Wish Book for her birthday and encouraged to make an entry, and she learns a little more about what her mother and cousin were like when they were her age.

Only Martha can’t seem to remember where she left her stone...

And Sam’s sister Joanne shows up for an unexpected visit and he is very happy to see her, though she does not seem like herself...
