Ep. 7 Silhouettes
Teaser
Cut to: a view of a clear blue sky over the Golden Gate Bridge.
Cut to: a view of Billie/Piper and Paige as they sit together on the grass
Paige: Four hours…four hours we've been sitting here Piper.
Billie/Piper: I know. My butt hurts.
Paige: I can't do it…
Cut to: a view of Paige as she gets to her feet.
Paige: I can't sit here and wait for my sister to die.
Billie/Piper: You don't even know her Paige.
Paige: That's true… but she's still my sister. Even if she wasn't, waiting around until anyone dies…is just…ugh!
Billie/Piper: Paige I understand. I do, but what can we do about it. We can't change the past.
Cut to: a view of Paige who begins to pace excitedly.
Paige: You keep saying that but what if the spell worked the way it was supposed to? What if we were brought here to change the past?
Billie/Piper: You mean to keep Prue from dying?
Paige: Yes! Piper, what if…
Billie/Piper: Where would you be then Paige?
Cut to: a view of Paige as she stops pacing and turns to face Billie/Piper.
Paige: What?
Billie/Piper: You forget, the initial reason you were brought to us was to reconstitute the power of three. We wouldn't have needed to do that if Prue had stayed alive. We might have never found out about you.
Paige: That doesn't mean that. Maybe destiny would have eventually brought us together.
Billie: You really put that much faith in destiny? Destiny has done nothing but screw us over lately.
Paige: I would trust in destiny that much if it means it's a way to get Prue back. I know you don't understand me because, you're right, I don't know anything about Prue and I shouldn't want her back as much as I do. I do though Piper.
Cut to: a view of Billie/Piper. She stands to face Paige.
Billie/Piper: I want her back too, but not at the expense of you.
Paige: You won't lose me.
Cut to: a view of Billie/Piper as she paces away from Paige.
Billie/Piper: You don't know that.
Paige: I have to believe that.
Billie/Piper: No, Paige. We're staying here.
Paige: Piper, we could change this. She doesn't have to die.
Billie/Piper: Paige, no.
Paige: Think about it we don't even have to face the demon. If we right notes to ourselves or something so that we can remember when time rewinds…
Cut to: a view of Billie/Piper as she whirls around to face Paige.
Billie/Piper: Paige! I said no! God! I don't want Prue to die, and I don't want to wait around here for it happen, but as much as it hurt when Prue left it me…it would hurt ten times more if you did. I will not lose you too, so just do what I say and drop it!
Paige: Piper…
Cut to: a view of Billie/Piper. She strides to where Paige is parked and sits on the hood of the car. Paige slowly follows behind.
Paige: Piper…
Billie/Piper: What, Paige?
Cut to: a view of Paige. She stands in front of Billie/Piper until she looks up to meet her gaze. Paige smiles brilliantly.
Paige: You love me.
Billie/Piper: What?
Cut to: a view of Paige. She sits beside Billie/Piper and playfully shoves her.
Paige: You looooove me.
Billie/Piper: I guess… maybe a little.
Cut to: a view of Billie/Piper as she cracks a smile. The two sit in silence for a little while.
Paige: What do we do now?
Billie/Piper: I don't know…
Paige: Rock, paper, scissors?
Cut to: a view of Billie/Piper. She glances at Paige as if she's crazy. Then she shrugs her shoulders. They put up their fists.
Billie/Piper: Rock, paper, scissors, shoot….
OPENING CREDITS
ACT 1
Cut to: a view of the emergency room. Piper/Prue lays on a gurney gasping for air while Prue holds her hand. A medical team of nurses and doctors buzz around Piper/Prue as they try to stabilize her.
Nurse: Get your kit ready.
Dr. Griffiths: Small entry wound: upper right back…larger exit wound: abdomen. Her lungs are filling. Start an IV liter of lactated IV ringers. Two units of O stat…
Nurse: Right away.
Cut to: a view of Prue she looks up to the heavens. Tears cascade down her face.
Prue: Leo!
Cut to: a view of the doctors working furiously over Piper/Prue's body. She shakes underneath their hands, difficultly trying to breathe.
Dr. Griffiths: Grab 40 cc's of adrenaline stat.
Nurse: Yes, sir.
Cut to: a view of Piper/Prue on the gurney as she turns to Prue. Her speech is choppy as she struggles to breathe.
Piper/Prue: He…can't hear you…he's not coming. I'm not…going to make…
Prue: Hey, hey, don't you dare die on me.
Piper/Prue: I'm cold…I…I can't feel my legs. I…don't want…to die. I…Prue…
Cut to: a view of Prue as she desperately looks to the doctors for help.
Nurse: Pulse is dropping.
Piper/Prue: I… I… I… can't. Oh God.
Sound over: flat line
Cut to: a view of Prue as she watches Pipe/Prue's chest stop moving.
Cut to: a view of the underworld.
Cut to: a view of Cole as he approaches Phoebe and Leo.
Phoebe: Cole, what happened?
Cole: He knows Phoebe…about us…
Phoebe: That's not important now Cole, please, just tell us what he said.
Cole: He offered a deal. He'll get Tempus to reset time if you stay… here.
Leo: What? Down here, he's crazy.
Phoebe: I'll do it.
Leo: Phoebe, come on. We're desperate, but we're not that desperate.
Phoebe: We are that desperate, Leo. It's…Piper.
Leo: What about her?
Phoebe: She's dead Leo. Don't ask me how I know. I just know. Say it's a premonition, say it's whatever you want just know it's the truth. You can check if you want, and for sequencing purposes you probably should, but it's just a waste of time. She's gone and this is the only way to save her.
Cut to: a view of Leo as he orbs out of the underworld.
Cole: Who are you?
Phoebe: What? I'm Phoebe.
Cole: You're not my Phoebe. There are similarities, body not withstanding, but you're different.
Phoebe: You're right. I am.
Cole: Are you going to tell me what's going on?
Phoebe: I can't…just know that I am Phoebe, and I'm trying to make things right.
Cole: Are you from the future?
Phoebe: Cole.
Cole: It's just that you haven't had a premonition the entire time you've been down here and I have to believe that if you'd had one before, you wouldn't have come down here in the first place.
Cut to: a view of Phoebe. She looks away from Cole's piercing glance.
Cole: So I'm right.
Phoebe: Yes.
Cole: Ok. Does what you're here for have anything to do with us?
Phoebe: No.
Cole: Ok, then. Your secret's safe with me.
Cut to: a view of Leo as he orbs in. His face is stained with tears.
Phoebe: Leo.
Cut to: a view of Phoebe as she goes to hug him.
Phoebe: I didn't want to be right.
Leo: You don't have to do this.
Phoebe: Yes, I do.
Cut to: a view of Phoebe as she turns to face Cole.
Phoebe: Time won't reset down here…
Cole: That's right.
Phoebe: Cole, you must warn Piper and Prue before the demonic hit man attacks. Otherwise, they're dead anyway. This is what I'm here for. You must save them, Cole.
Cole: I'll do my best.
Cut to: a view of the Source as he speaks to Cole.
Source: Agreed.
Cut to: a view of Cole. He stands, bows, and exits.
Cut to: a view of a demon. He kneels in front of the Source.
Source: Once I have reset time, detain him, and then kill his witch; that way I won't have to worry about Balthazar anymore or the Charmed Ones.
Cut to: a view of the demon. He bows low before leaving.
Source: Tempus.
Cut to: a view of Tempus as he appears behind the Source.
Tempus: My Lord.
Source: You will reset time to just before Shax attacks the Charmed Ones.
Tempus: Yes, my Lord. Sir I beg your audience for just a moment.
Source: Make if fast.
Tempus: Sir, my power may not be much now, but it is enough to see that this time has been altered.
Source: You've got my attention.
Tempus: This is not the first time these events have occurred. Some magic has been performed in order to rewind time.
Source: Who has this kind of power?
Tempus: Only good magic could have done this…
Source: The Charmed Ones.
Cut to: an outside view of the manor as time rewinds. Once time settles comes to a halt we see an outside, daytime view of the manor.
Cut to: a view of the grandfather clock in the front hall as it stops rewinding and ends at 6:25am.
Prue: (voice over) Look, I know that this all sound incredible…
Cut to: a view of Prue as she speaks with Piper and Dr. Griffiths.
Prue: …but it doesn't make it any less true all right. Now, you're a healer: you do good. Now either you have saved too many lives or you're about to save a life that they don't want you to save.
Dr. Griffiths: They?
Cut to: a view of a Piper who looks incredulous.
Prue: (voice over) Yeah…
Cut to: a view of Prue.
Prue: …demons, uh, more specifically Shax who is the Source's assassin.
Cut to: a view of Dr. Griffiths. He looks at Prue as if she's crazy and then laughs.
Dr. Griffiths: Hold on, I get it. This is a practical joke right? You've got a hidden camera here. My second wife put you up to this?
Cut to: a view of Prue shaking her head.
Dr. Griffiths: (voice over) It's just like her.
Cut to: a view of Dr. Griffiths as he looks around for cameras in the ceiling.
Cut to: a view of Prue.
Prue: Ok, Dr. Griffiths listen to me this is anything but…
Cut to: a view of Piper. She gasps as a shiver goes down her spine.
Prue: What?
Piper/Prue: Nothing. I just felt a…chill. I… I… I remember.
Prue: Piper?
Piper/Prue: I remember everything. Why…
Prue: Piper, what is wrong with you?
Cut to: a view of a violent tornado blowing into the house.
Cut to: a view of Prue and Piper as they turn to face it.
Prue: (voice over) Phoebe. Phoebe, where are you?
Cut to: a view of Prue and Piper as they are knocked to the ground by the force of the wind.
Cut to: a view of Dr. Griffiths. He backs away, horrified to see the wind slow until it becomes the demon Shax.
Cut to: a view of Prue who looks up to see Dr. Griffiths frozen in terror as Shax prepares to attack.
Dr. Griffiths: Dear God.
Piper/Prue: Griffiths get down!
Cut to: a view of Dr. Griffiths. He ducks behind the dining room wall and Piper/Prue freezes him so that he stays there as she recites the spell.
Cut to: a view of Piper/Prue as she stands.
Piper/Prue: Evil wind that blows, that which forms below. No longer may you dwell. Death takes you with this spell.
Cut to: a view of Prue. She gets to her feet as she sees Shax stumble backward before quickly regrouping.
Prue: What are you doing? He's going to kill our innocent.
Piper/Prue: Not if you get over here and say the spell with me. We can do this Prue. No one has to die.
Cut to: a view of Piper/Prue as she and Prue take hands and recite the spell. Shax recoils with every completion of the spell. Piper/Prue tries to blow him up with Piper's power. She takes a step forward as Shax stumbles back.
Piper/Prue: Prue! Keep going! Say the spell!
Cut to: view of Prue and Piper/Prue. They continue to recite the spell over and over as Piper/Prue continues to assault Shax with her combustion power.
Cut to: a view of Leo and Phoebe as they orb into the manor. Phoebe looks around completely confused.
Phoebe: Prue, you're…what are you doing? We can't…
Cut to: a view of Piper/Prue as she keeps advancing her attack.
Piper/Prue: Phoebe, we're doing this. Get on board or get out of the way!
Cut to: a view of Phoebe. She looks at Piper/Prue fighting desperately and then at Prue as she recites the spell. Phoebe takes Prue's hand.
Phoebe: It needs more than the two of you…take my hand Piper.
Cut to: a view of Piper/Prue as she steps back to take hands with Phoebe. Shax manages to stand up straight and growl furiously.
Piper/Prue: Evil wind that blows…
Phoebe: …that which forms below…
Prue: …no longer may you dwell…
Piper/Prue: …death takes you with this spell.
Cut to: a view of the Charmed Ones as they watch Shax explode into a million pieces.
BLACKOUT
END OF ACT 1
ACT 2
Cut to: a view of the manor as time accelerates. Once time comes to a halt we see an outside daytime view of the manor.
Cut to: a view Prue as she sleeps in her bedroom. She jolts upright as she suddenly awakens.
Prue: Oh…God…
Cut to: a view of Prue as she jumps out of bed, turns on the bedroom light, and looks around.
Prue: This is my room…this is my room?
Cut to: a view of Prue as she steps in front of her mirror.
Prue: Oh my…I'm me! I'm…I…Ah!
Cut to: a view of Prue as she jumps up and down laughing.
Sound over: Phoebe's voice.
Phoebe: (voice over) Piper? Prue?
Piper: (voice over) Phoebe!
Cut to: a view of Prue. She runs out of her room and into the hallway where Piper and Phoebe are hugging. Piper looks over to see Prue watching them.
Piper: Prue. Is that you?
Prue: Well, yeah. Who else would it be? You're you!
Cut to: a view of the three sisters as they run together and embrace.
Piper: What did you guys do?
Phoebe: We vanquished Shax.
Prue: We are in the future right?
Piper: It's either that or I've stolen someone's children.
Phoebe: Oh! The babies are here.
Piper: Of course they are.
Prue: How do we remember everything?
Phoebe: I wouldn't say that.
Cut to: a view of Phoebe as she hold up her left hand. A huge diamond ring sits on her ring finger.
Piper: Whoa.
Prue: Nice ice, Pheebs.
Phoebe: Yeah…only I have no idea where it came from.
Piper: …or where mine went…my wedding ring is gone.
Cut to: a view of Piper as she cradles her left hand.
Piper: I'm not liking this future already. Paige?
Prue: Ok, wait, does anyone remember the last six years? What about what happened after we vanquished Shax?
Cut to: a view of the girls looking to each other for answers.
Piper: This isn't happening. We don't have our memories? Paige!
Phoebe: Well if you think about it makes sense Piper. This is a whole new future you know.
Piper: Phoebe, please. This is…this is worse then when we went to the future to save you from dying.
Prue: Worse?
Piper: Yes! Last time I wasn't married but this time I'm not married with two children…and for God's sake Paige! Where the hell is she?
Cut to: a view of Phoebe and Prue as they look around not answering.
Phoebe: Paige?
Piper: Paige!
Cut to: a view of the sisters.
Piper: She's not here. What did you guys do? Phoebe, do you remember when she told us about the alternate world Cole created? She was dead.
Phoebe: This isn't like that Piper. She was dead because Shax killed her. Now we're here because Shax is dead. He never got his hands on her.
Prue: So let's find her. Attic…scrying now all right…let's go.
Cut to: a view of Paige as she sits sleeping at her desk. Mr. Cowan appears and knocks on her desk. Paige jolts up in her chair.
Mr. Cowan: This isn't your bedroom Ms. Matthews. You've got a lot of work to get done before you can leave us.
Paige: What?
Cut to: a view of Mr. Cowan. He shakes his head and walks away.
Paige: What work?
Cut to: a view of Paige as she sits in her own office at the South Bay Social Services.
Paige: What am I doing here? I have my own office? This has to be an alternate reality.
Sound over: a knock at the door
Cut to: a view of a woman, Helen, in a suit. She stands smiling ecstatically with a file in her hand.
Helen: Here's the file, Ms. Matthews. Mr. Cowan gave me the honor of presenting it to you myself.
Cut to: a view of Helen as she enters the office and hands the file to Paige.
Helen: Wow, haven't gotten to those other cases yet have you?
Paige: What? Uh…no. I guess not. I don't remember…
Helen: I hate to be the one to remind you Ms. Matthews but there are others that want to adopt just as much as you do. We have deadlines to meet.
Paige: What?
Helen: The files on your desk…they need your final signature before we can finalize the adoptions.
Paige: No not that part…the I…want to adopt part.
Helen: Ms. Matthews, Paige… you have adopted. Adam is yours. Congratulations!
Paige: I don't…I adopted?
Helen: Yes…a beautiful baby boy. He's all yours! Isn't that exciting?
Paige: Thrilling. Wait, I can't adopt. I'm not stable enough. My apartment is crap, if I remember correctly, and I'm barely a social worker.
Helen: That's a joke right?
Paige: Do I look like I'm joking?
Helen: Paige…Ms. Matthews, you kind of like…live in a penthouse. You're the most prosperous social worker in this office…in San Francisco. Mr. Cowan fought tooth and nail to keep you here as long as he could, but you kept saying you wanted your own your firm. It opens in three months.
Cut to: a view of Paige. She looks at Helen for a moment without responding. Suddenly, she stands.
Paige: I have to go.
Helen: No, you have to sign papers. The adoptions have to be finalized by the end of the day. You're a fantastic social worker; you can't let those families down.
Cut to: a view of Paige as she flops down in her seat. Helen goes towards the door, and then turns to face her.
Helen: Think of it this way: the faster you finish the faster you can get to your beautiful new son.
Cut to: a view of Paige. She forces a smile as Helen leaves. Paige grabs the phone and dials a number quickly.
Cut to: a view of Piper and Phoebe in the attic of the manor. Piper is scrying and Phoebe stands leafing through the Book of Shadows. Piper looks over at Phoebe as she groans.
Piper: You okay there, Pheebs?
Phoebe: Yeah…no. I feel weird.
Piper: Are you getting sick?
Phoebe: Maybe? I'm just kind of hot you know? I remember feeling this way before, I just can't…
Cut to: Prue enters with Wyatt trailing behind her.
Prue: Anything?
Piper: We can't find her anywhere. Hey buddy!
Cut to: a view of Wyatt as he runs into Piper's arms. He gives her a bear hug before taking a seat on the floor with his toys.
Piper: Is Chris still asleep?
Prue: Yes.
Phoebe: (voice over) This is ridiculous.
Cut to: a view of Phoebe as she closes the Book.
Phoebe: Nothing is working.
Piper: We have to keep trying. We can't just leave her.
Prue: (voice over) Of course…
Cut to: a view of Prue.
Prue: Paige isn't a witch now. Of course we're not going to find her with spells.
Phoebe: She's innately half whitelighter though. Shouldn't we be able to tap into that?
Prue: That's not how it works…not with those spells anyway. You never have to summon a whitelighter all right. They just come when you call.
Piper: Paige can't hear us now.
Prue: Pheebs, maybe you could reword the magic-to-magic spell…make it so that it calls the whitelighter in her.
Phoebe: I'll see what I can do.
Prue: All right, get to it. Piper.
Cut to: a view of Prue as she leaves the attic. Piper follows behind waving to Wyatt as she exits.
Prue: So there's something that seems a little off here.
Piper: You mean besides the fact that my husband and sister are nowhere to be found?
Prue: You can't find Leo either?
Piper: No. I don't know where he could be Prue.
Prue: We'll find him Piper. I promise you, we'll find him.
Cut to: a view of Prue and Piper as they hug.
Cole: (voice over) Anybody home?
Cut to: a view of Prue and Piper as they separate and look at each other skeptically.
Prue: Did you hear that?
Piper: Was that…
Prue: Cole?
Cut to: a view of Prue and Piper as they rush down the stairs to see Cole standing in the front hallway.
Cut to: a view of the Source. He stands in the underworld with a very weak Tempus.
Tempus: I have used the very last of my power to protect you from the witch's magic, my Lord.
Source: Very good. How long will it last?
Tempus: As long as I do sir.
Source: Then we'd better act fast. Thanos!
Cut to: a view of the last of the Source's assassins coming into view. He bows low to the Source.
Source: You are my very best assassin Thanos. You will not let me down.
Thanos: Your will is my command, Sire.
Source: Good. Kill the witches… every last one.
BLACKOUT
END OF ACT 2
ACT 3
Cut to: a view of Cole flying through the doors of the manor.
Cut to: a view of Piper and Prue through the doors. Piper hits Prue on the shoulder.
Piper: Prue!
Prue: I couldn't help it all right: gut instinct.
Cut to: a view of Cole. He stands, dusts himself off, and then walks into the house.
Cole: Hello to you too, Prue. I see that absence hasn't made the heart grow fonder.
Cut to: a view of Prue and Piper as they approach.
Prue: What are you doing here Cole?
Cole: I was looking for my wife.
Piper: Please don't tell me…
Cole: Where's Phoebe?
Prue: That's none of your concern.
Phoebe: (voice over) Prue!
Cut to: a view of Phoebe. She descends the staircase with Wyatt. She stops short at the bottom of the stairs.
Phoebe: Cole…
Cole: (voice over) Phoebe…
Cut to: a view of Cole as he carefully approaches Phoebe.
Cole: Now before you kick me out again I think you should let me explain.
Phoebe: …ok.
Cole: First of all, I'm not evil, and I didn't kill that guy…well I did but he was killing first. I didn't have a choice.
Phoebe: I'm sorry?
Cole: Phoebe, I may have my demonic powers back but that doesn't mean I don't love you…
Phoebe: Piper…
Cole: …and if we're going to be bringing a baby into the world I think we need to try to work out our differences, don't you?
Phoebe: Piper!
Cut to: a view of Prue and Piper.
Piper: Oh!
Cut to: a view of Piper as she freezes Cole.
Cut to: a view of Phoebe and Wyatt as they rush to Prue and Piper.
Phoebe: What the hell was that?
Piper: Whatever it was it's pretty funny.
Phoebe: I'm not finding my demon ex from hell still being alive and in love with me funny Piper.
Prue: Don't forget the kid.
Phoebe: Oh my God! I'm pregnant.
Prue: You should be glowing.
Piper: Not if it's the pregnancy that we think it is.
Cut to: a view of a confused Prue.
Piper: The last time Phoebe was pregnant with Cole's baby it was an evil spawn of the Source. It almost destroyed her from the inside out.
Phoebe: This is crazy. I got pregnant with baby Lucifer the year after Prue died and now six years later I've got the same baby?
Piper: Altering future changes a lot Phoebe. God knows things changed radically for me.
Phoebe: It's a good thing Paige isn't here. The baby hated her. Speaking of which, I found her.
Piper: Spell?
Phoebe: Phone.
Prue: All right well we have to take of one crisis at a time. Piper.
Cut to: a view of Prue, Piper, and Phoebe standing together. Wyatt stands slightly behind Piper as she unfreezes Cole.
Prue: Look, Cole, I really don't care why you're here or what you have to say. All I know is that you need to leave now.
Cut to: a view of Cole turning to face the Charmed Ones.
Cole: No offense Prue but this is between me and Phoebe.
Phoebe: She's right. I don't want you here Cole. Please leave.
Cole: Fine. I'll be back.
Cut to: a view of Cole as he shimmers out of the manor.
Piper: Why was that so easy?
Phoebe: He's probably planning something.
Piper: Should we worry?
Prue: No. We should get Paige.
Phoebe: I second that. I second Piper's statement: this future already sucks.
Cut to: an outside view of the hospital.
Cut to: a view of Paige. She stands in the neonatal ward looking in on a room full of noisy babies. Paige doesn't notice as a nurse approaches her.
Nurse: (voice over) Can I help you Miss?
Paige: Um…maybe, my name is Paige Matthews.
Cut to: a view of the nurse as her body stiffens.
Nurse: Oh yes, Ms. Matthews. If you come with me I'll let you hold your new son.
Paige: Um… ok.
Cut to: a view of Paige. She follows the nurse into a room adjoining the room where the babies are kept.
Cut to: a view of the nurse. She leaves Paige alone and then a moment later reappears. She holds a baby wrapped in a blue blanket.
Cut to: a view of a nervous Paige as she takes the baby in her arms.
Paige: Does he have a name?
Nurse: No. That's your job. I'll give you some privacy. I'll be just in the other room.
Cut to: a view of the nurse as she exits.
Paige: Hi little one. You don't have a name yet. We should give you one. How about Henry? I think I like that name. How about you?
Cut to: a view of Paige looking down on the sleeping baby Henry. She doesn't notice as a man, Morgan, appears behind her.
Morgan: I thought I'd find you here.
Cut to: a view of Paige. She whips around to face him.
Paige: Um…
Morgan: I know. What am I doing here, right? The question is Paige, what are you doing?
Paige: I'm…Who are you?
Morgan: I'm…I'm Morgan…Paige, are you feeling all right?
Paige: Yeah, I'm fine…just having a little memory trouble.
Morgan: Well you'd better shape up and soon. The Source is looking for us to deliver. Now give…that thing back to whoever it belongs to. We've got to go.
Paige: His name is Henry, he belongs to me, and did you just say the Source?
Morgan: I did.
Cut to: a view of Morgan. He looks Paige over carefully.
Morgan: You adopted a baby? Paige, I must say you're taking the publicity stunts a little far aren't you?
Paige: I don't know what you're talking about.
Morgan: Paige…
Cut to: a view of the Nurse. She rushes back into the room and takes the child from Paige.
Nurse: I'm sorry. I have to take him for his feeding. You'll be able to take him home in a few hours. There's a bit more paperwork that needs to be filed with the hospital.
Cut to: a view of the nurse as she exits.
Paige: What's her problem?
Morgan: She overheard a conversation we were having about killing a witch and she freaked out. A little torture convinced her to keep her mouth shut though.
Paige: Oh my God…
Morgan: Paige, I…
Paige: You know what…do me a favor and just…explain it to me as if I've lost my memory of the past oh I don't know… six years.
Morgan: All right but this is a severe waste of time. You were recruited by the Source and partnered with me. We do evil things to good people in the dark while in the light you pose as the perfect social worker. We've actually been promoted several times and are the right hand men…woman in your case… of the Source.
Paige: Ok, you've got the wrong idea pal. I'm not evil. Chair!
Cut to: a view of Paige as she reaches her hand to the chair that sits in a corner. She is baffled when it doesn't orb to her.
Morgan: What on earth are you doing?
Paige: I'm trying to find something to hit you with. Chair!
Cut to: a view of Paige. A fireball appears in Paige's outstretched hand.
Paige: Oh my God.
Morgan: Throw that.
Cut to: a view of Paige as she flings the fireball in Morgan's direction. He catches it and lets it disintegrate in his hand.
Morgan: Now if you're quite ready. It's time to move. We've waited above ground for weeks and the moment has finally come. We're ready.
Paige: For what?
Morgan: To kill the Charmed Ones.
Cut to: a view of Phoebe as she travels to the kitchen. Piper sits feeding Chris who sits in his high chair.
Phoebe: Hey, are you finished? I called Paige but she didn't answer. I want to scry again, but I think it'd work better with two witches.
Piper: Almost done. Where's Wyatt?
Phoebe: Playing outside with Prue.
Cut to: a view of Phoebe going to the back door. Prue enters holding Wyatt before Phoebe can reach it. Wyatt's knee is bleeding.
Piper: Prue! You were supposed to be watching him.
Cut to: a view of Prue as she sits and positions Wyatt in her lap.
Prue: I know. I'm sorry. I got a phone call and got distracted. I turned away for one second.
Piper: What phone call could be so important? Pheebs.
Cut to: a view of Piper and Phoebe as they trade places. Piper gets a cloth, dampens it, and then goes to attend to Wyatt.
Prue: One that told me the final headstone was placed in the cemetery last night.
Phoebe: Headstone? Who died?
Prue: My husband and daughter.
Cut to: a view of the activity in the kitchen coming to a halt.
Piper: What?

Piper: Oh…you mean my absentee ex-husband…yeah, let's do that.
Prue: We don't even know if he's magical in this time Pheebs.

Piper: Leo…Leo!

Phoebe: How could you do that Leo? This is your family.
Leo: Piper asked me to.
Piper: I did what? No I would never…
Leo: You did Piper. How do you not remember? You told me if I showed my face here again you'd find a way to vanquish me.

Leo: Oh…

Phoebe: It's not her fault Piper. It's this future.
Piper: Are you kidding me Pheebs? She told him to take them! She doesn't care about them at all!
Prue: That's enough Piper. I care about them as much as I do you all right, but if they were meant to be taken in this future then they were going to be no matter what we did. Phoebe is right ok. This future is the enemy, not me.
Phoebe: This isn't what we thought it would be is it?
Piper: …and the understatement of the year goes to…
Prue: We can't stay here.
Phoebe: Well, how do we fix it? Last time the Elders…
Prue: No, we can't count on them all right. We're on our own.
Piper: We should call Paige: four is better than three.
Prue: She's evil in this time Piper.
Piper: Yeah, but the soul inside is the one from our future. So that means she's not.
Prue: We can't take that chance. We don't know who's gotten to her.
Phoebe: …or is it that you don't think you'll be able to look at her without seeing the family you lost?
Prue: That too. Look, if we absolutely need her I will be the first to call all right, but until then…
