It’s a week till Christmas and Sheriff Jake sees a bank robber, he arrested 10 years ago. Jake sets the wedding to Cassie to Dec. 24. Cassie’s busy in her gift shop but accepts.

“As we enter chapter three of the Cassie and Jake saga, they are still engaged, still exchanging chaste kisses, and still trying to plan their wedding. With Christmas less than a week away, Jake exhibits some uncharacteristic spontaneity, and proposes a Christmas Eve ceremony. Hectic preparations commence.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis entry in the series continues the theme of the appearance in town of a suspicious u0026quot;strangeru0026quot;, in this case a bank robber whom Jake sent to prison a decade earlier on a fifteen-year sentence. Released for good behavior two days earlier, town folk in general, and Sheriff Jake in particular, wonder why heu0026#39;s returned and what heu0026#39;s up to. Could it be to retrieve the loot from the robbery which was never found? Or does it somehow involve his ex-wife and child, who still live in town?u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMystery, magic, and redemption have been essential elements of the Good Witch series, and this entry continues the theme. Cassandra Nightingale is one of the most intuitive characters ever committed to film, and in this one, her powers are in full force, always reading people perfectly, and always finding subtle ways to steer them in the right direction.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAs the standing characters in this series continue to become more fully-developed, one supports the wish for additional entries in the Good Witch series, whether as a weekly TV drama or simply in the form of more full-length movies. This reviewer got his wish for the return of Elizabeth Lennieu0026#39;s Gwen, introduced in the previous movie as a love interest for u0026quot;Grandpau0026quot; George Ou0026#39;Hanrahan (Peter MacNeill). (Old guys need love, too.) Even town busybody Martha Tinsdale (Catherine Disher) is becoming (gasp!) likable.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eCo-executive producer and star, Catherine Bell, has said, u0026quot;This character is closer to me, personally, than any character Iu0026#39;ve ever played.u0026quot; This, plus the sight of her in one fantastic wedding gown, with striking diamond (?) necklace, makes at least one male viewer wish he were u0026quot;Jakeu0026quot;.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThus, even if the Good Witch series ends in a trilogy, as many movie series do, The Good Witchu0026#39;s Gift will have it going out on top.”
