Cassandra Nightingale prepares to celebrate her birthday, hoping to bring as many of her friends and family together as possible. While investigating her family history, she discovers a story of a curse connected to the mysterious disappearance of her great aunt.—Anonymous

Reuniting the Russell family was the planned ideal gift for Cassandra's birthday, but things keep going wrong all over town, with her and her magic being blamed. Brandon comes present his girl friend but grieves Jake by announcing he plans to follow her to her dream college in Seattle, possibly compromising his own future, so the kids consider eloping. George O'Hanrahan's second wife's son Drew visits her after years, to present his bride, but is dumped after losing out on a fortune by overseeing a contract page getting lost in the hidden compartment of Houdini's satchel which he bought from Cassie, so he blames her. Lori's assignment research into the Nightingale heritage puts them on the trail of Cassie's mysteriously disappeared great aunt's curse.
