TEASER

(Scene: Alleyway. A low level demon is seen chasing a young woman down an alleyway when Wyatt appears before her in a cloud of orbs. The woman jumps back and gasps in shock.)

WOMAN: (scared) What the hell?

WYATT: Hurry, get out of here, now!

(The woman hurries away and Wyatt hurls an energy ball at the demon. It has seemingly no effect and the demon hurls Wyatt against the wall at a rapid speed. Wyatt grunts and falls to the ground hard. The demon retrieves a crystal athame from his belt and strikes at Wyatt. Wyatt covers with his arms and is slashed badly.)

(Cut to Manor. Wyatt jolts out of his sleeping position, breathing and sweating heavily, and pulls his arms up, feeling the area for a scar. Finally realizing there is no scar, Wyatt lies back down, furrowing his eyebrows.)

(Cut across town. The same woman from Wyatt's dream is running from the low level demon. He moves at rapid speed and blocks the woman's path. He retrieves an amulet from his pocket and raises it, dangling it in front of the woman. A grey glow washes over her and is sucked into the amulet. She falls to the floor and the demon picks her up, disappearing in a dust cloud.)

(Opening Credits)

ACT ONE

(Stock shots of San Francisco are shown while "Sun in my pocket" by Locnville plays in the background. Scene: P3. A young, tan guy, Pete, enters the club, finding Caitlyn lazily going through a magazine at the bar. Caitlyn raises her eyes before rolling it.)

CAITLYN: Bar's closed bro, but if you really can't go without your daily alcohol intake, there's another bar down the street.

PETE: (smiling astounded) Actually I'm not here for a drink but since you're offering to go with me...

CAITLYN: (smiles) You obviously didn't come here to try that lame pick-up line, so how can I help you?

PETE: Well for starters, a phone number would be nice.

WYATT: (laughing) You haven't changed one bit.

(Caitlyn and Peter turn towards Wyatt's voice, finding him in front of his office, arms crossed and a huge smile on his face.)

PETE: (heading towards Wyatt) Yoh, my main man Wyatt, how's life treating you?

(Wyatt and Peter hug each other briefly.)

WYATT: (smiling) Can't complain.

CAITLYN: (frowning) Wait, you two know each other?

WYATT: Yep, this is Pete; we've known each other since diapers were our best friend. (to Pete) So what're you doing here? I thought you were somewhere in New York or wherever.

PETE: Well I would've come sooner if I'd known your staff was this hooottt, but since you never tell me anything I came here to celebrate your b-day.

WYATT: Well first of all, the staff, particularly Caitlyn, is off limits-

PETE: (wiggles his eyebrows) Ohh, office romance, huh?

WYATT: (smiles) Secondly, I'm not celebrating my birthday.

PETE: What! You're not serious. You must be the biggest pooper at the Wicca-

WYATT: (nervously) Caitlyn, would you check if the stock's arrived yet.

CAITLYN: (rolling her eyes) Sure boss, wouldn't want to disrupt the bromance thing you got going here.

(Caitlyn exits the club and Pete nears the bar, whistling while looking at her butt.)

PETE: That is nice... way out of your league if you ask me.

WYATT: Watch your tongue next time; we haven't gotten to the awkward magic talk yet.

PETE: Wyatt please, you're asking me to watch this?

(A thin elastic tongue slips through Pete's lips.)

WYATT: (taking a seat at the bar) Yeah, I forgot about that, how's the whole Manticore thing going anyway?

PETE: Fine, most of the time, but I still get those whole wiggy moments from time to time.

WYATT: (raising his eyebrows) Something to worry about?

PETE: Nope, what we should worry about is your b-day and we're starting to celebrate... now.

(Before Wyatt can protest, Pete grabs his shoulders and shimmers away, Wyatt's voice echoing through the club.)

(Scene: Bayview High School. Classroom. A bell is heard and students start filing into the classroom. Katie and Henry enter, followed by Tori, who brushes past Katie, giving her a mean look. Katie scoffs.)

HENRY: (whispering in Katie's ear) Let it go.

KATIE: Fine.

(Katie and Henry take a seat in the back of the class, an empty seat open in front of them. The principal enters the class and the warning bell goes off.)

DANIA: (smiling) Good morning everybody, I'll be filling in for Mr. Williams today-

(Melinda stumbles into the classroom, flustered. Katie waves at Melinda, but she ignores her and takes a seat in the opposite side of the class.)

DANIA: Thank you for gracing us with your presence Miss Halliwell.

(Melinda nods, not noticing Katie staring at her worriedly.)

DANIA: (sarcastic) Since you're all so excited to dig into the work. Who can define natural selection for me?

(Katie slumps forward in her chair as few hands are raised. The principal scans the class, spotting Melinda reading another book.)

DANIA: Melinda?

MELINDA: (startled) Huh?

DANIA: Can you tell the rest of the class what natural selection is?

MELINDA: Uhh I'm sorry, no.

DANIA: Hmm, I'd like to see you after class.

(A chorus of oo's echo through the classroom and Katie stares at Melinda worried. Time Lapse. The bell is heard and the students exit. Cut to Hallway. Katie and Henry walk down the hall.)

KATIE: We have to confront her about this.

HENRY: (preoccupied)Okay...first of all...we don't even know...if there's anything to worry about...and even...if there was...what would...we say?

KATIE: I don't know... anything as long as we say something. (frowns) Are you even listening?

HENRY: Sorry I'm meeting Kendall in the library, we'll talk soon, promise.

(Katie sighs, her eyes following Henry, hurrying down the hall. Tori pushes past Katie.)

TORI: Ugh, excuse you.

KATIE: (sighs) I really don't have the time for a daily dose of bitch today.

TORI: Then I guess I should back off then... (slams Katie's books to the ground)Or not.

KATIE: (calmly) You got great legs Tori. If you wanna keep them intact, let's see how they walk...now.

(Tori and Katie have a staring contest until Tori hesitates and walks away, leaving a smiling Katie behind. Cut to Classroom. Melinda is standing in front of the principal who is seated at the teacher's desk.)

DANIA: So you wanna tell me what's wrong? I can keep a secret.

MELINDA: (sighs) Nothing principal Fuentes, I'm fine.

DANIA: So we're taking the scenic route.

MELINDA: Honestly Ma'am, nothing is wrong.

DANIA: I'm here if you need help, may it be magical or mortal.

MELINDA: (stubborn) I don't need any help.

DANIA: Fine, then I'll be giving it to you anyway. You'll be doing admin in my office for the next couple of weeks.

MELINDA: (shocked) What?

DANIA: End of conversation, Melinda. See you next week.

(Melinda opens her mouth but doesn't say anything. Instead she storms out of the class angrily, leaving a worried Dania inside. Cut to Angela's Apartment. Angela is lying on the couch with a cloth folded over her head. A flush is heard and a pale faced Bianca enters the living room.)

ANGELA: So if I'm the one with the hangover, how come you're the one running to the toilet every few minutes?

BIANCA: It must be food poisoning or something.

ANGELA: (sceptical) Sure, food poisoning.

BIANCA: Angie, don't start please. What did you get Wyatt for his birthday?

ANGELA: (rips the cloth from her forehead) That's tomorrow?

BIANCA: Don't tell me you forgot?

ANGELA: I've been partying non-stop, hanging out with guys left and right, what do you want from me? Uhh let me think... tomorrow... bright and early...that's it...I'll get him something tomorrow morning...before the surprise party we're throwing him..

BIANCA: I don't think you can call it a surprise anymore, after trying to throw it each year Wyatt doesn't-

(Bianca places her fingers in front of her mouth and it seems as if she will be throwing up again.)

BIANCA: (sighs) False alarm.

ANGELA: And while I'm at it, I'm gonna get you a pregnancy test.

BIANCA: Angela please, just cause my powers haven't gone wonky yet, doesn't mean I've missed my period.

ANGELA: And that's where you made your first mistake, (frowns) who bases there period on when their powers go wonky?

BIANCA: I can't be pregnant Angie, me and Chris are newly married not to mention the fact that we're basically dirt poor.

ANGELA: Oh God, I think you're slightly overreacting.

BIANCA: Well if I'm pregnant I have the right to be.

ANGELA: (scoffs) Where is Chris anyway?

BIANCA: Two words, Job and hunting.

(Cut across town. Chris enters a building and talks to the secretary, before leaving disappointed. Afterwards Chris is seen talking to various people before leaving, disappointed.)

WOMAN: I'm sorry, no.

(Cut to next employer.)

MAN: No.

(Cut to next employer.)

WOMAN: (confused) There was help wanted?

(Cut to Halliwell Restaurant. Skye is standing at the bar with Jennifer seated across her. Hayley is seen running around in the restaurant, helping people.)

HAYLEY: (hurrying into the kitchen) Thanks for the help Jillass.

SKYE: Sorry sis, I'll help you in like thirty minutes, when the lunch rush is over.

HAYLEY: (through gritted teeth) That's so considerate of you.

(Hayley enters the kitchen angrily.)

SKYE: So back to our conversation.

JENNIFER: I need you to spy on Greg when he is on his date tomorrow night. His hanging on to this Candy for way too long.

SKYE: (raises an eyebrow) You sure are worried about this Candy girl.

JENNIFER: It's not what you think Skye, please...Stupidness is infectious, and I don't want him to catch the bug.

SKYE: That must be one of the dumbest excuses you've ever dished out.

JENNIFER: (whining) Skye, what do you want from me?

SKYE: I want you to admit that I'm right.

JENNIFER: And if I do, you'll spy on him.

SKYE: (smiling) Sure.

JENNIFER: Fine, I'm jealous okay.

SKYE: (teasingly) Now was that so hard?

(Jennifer wants to reply but Chris nears the bar and she immediately shuts her mouth.)

CHRIS: (sighs) Hit me.

JENNIFER: (sarcastic) Looks like you've just had a super day.

CHRIS: Yeah, just super. I've listened to so many reasons for not being hired today, I won't even hire myself.

(A kitchen worker bursts out of the kitchen and a panicked Hayley hurries after him.)

HAYLEY: (panicked) You can't just leave Jim...Jimmy!

(The man ignores Hayley and she grunts, heading over to the bar.)

HAYLEY: (worriedly) Aunt Piper is going to kill me.

SKYE: What happened?

HAYLEY: Jim's on one of his hissy fits again. I swear he's a bigger bitch than me and that's saying something. Now we don't have a main chef and I might as well kiss my assistant managing position goodbye.

JENNIFER: Hayley chillax, what about Chris? He's a pretty descent cook. I mean aunt Piper taught him everything.

HAYLEY: (eyes grow wide) That's a great idea-

CHRIS: (hesitantly) No, wait a minute-

(Jennifer and Skye start dragging Chris to the kitchen, who starts whining.)

HAYLEY: No time to argue I owe you big time.

(Scene: Manor. Dining Room. Wyatt and Pete stumble into the dining room, both laughing uncontrollably and drunk.)

WYATT: (snorting) Shh, we don't wanna wake my mom...it's like almost twelve

(Pete hangs onto Wyatt and accidentally knocks over a chair.)

PETE: (laughs) See this is why I said "enjoy the strippers"

WYATT: You mean watching you make out with each one of them.

PETE: Hey, is it my fault you don't know how to have fun.

(Wyatt trips on the stairs and Pete cackles with laughter. The low level demon from Wyatt's dream appears in a dust cloud behind Pete. An athame materializes into his hand.)

BREAK

ACT TWO

(Scene: Manor. Foyer. Wyatt notices the demon from his position on the floor. The demon hurls an athame at Pete and Wyatt knocks him to the floor, dodging the athame. The demon zooms forward at rapid speed but Wyatt conjures an energy ball in his path, knocking him against the foyer table. Pete grunts and moves at rapid speed toward the demon. The demon hurries forward at rapid speed and the collision sends them both flying backward. Piper, Leo and Melinda appear at the top of the stairs.)

PIPER: (angrily) What the hell is going on down here?

LEO: (points toward the demon) Demon!

(Piper raises her hand and freezes the demon, before heading downstairs followed by Leo and Melinda. Leo helps Pete from the floor as Wyatt struggles to his feet on his own. Piper heads toward the demon and unfreezes his head.)

PIPER: So tell me, how many kinds of stupid should a demon be to attack this house at midnight?

LEO: He must've been sent.

PIPER: What do you want?

(The demon hurriedly glances at Wyatt. Melinda notices this before the demon redirects his gaze at Piper.)

DEMON: I'll never tell.

(Piper sighs and explodes the demon, turning towards Wyatt and Pete.)

PIPER: Now for you guys, care to explain what you two are doing sneaking into the house at midnight, hey there Pete.

(Pete raises his hand in a small wave as Wyatt tries to think of valid excuse.)

MELINDA: Mom, wake up and smell the wiccan coffee stains. These two are obviously drunk-

PETE: Actually, I think the demon sobered us up.

WYATT: Not helping.

MELINDA: Back to my point; that demon you just vanquished, he was after Wyatt and on that note I'm going back to sleep.

PIPER: Melinda-

(Melinda ignores her mother and heads up stairs. Piper sighs and Leo whispers into her ear.)

PIPER: (to Leo) Are you sure? What if he's not ready?

WYATT: (frowns) Assuming he's is referring to me, what if I'm not ready for what?

LEO: What your mom's talking about is training.

WYATT: (confused) Training for what?

PIPER: For wielding Excalibur, you're turning twenty-six, it's your crown birthday which means you'll be vulnerable to attack...the sword will be vulnerable to attack-

LEO: Not to mention that you'll lose your powers for a day.

WYATT: (shocked) What!

PIPER: The day that you were born, magic died and now yours will but we're wasting time, we have to start training.

(Piper and Leo start up the stairs and Wyatt stands still shocked. Pete pats Wyatt on the back.)

PETE: (smiles) Happy birthday, buddy.

(Time Lapse. The sun rises. Attic. Pete is leaning on a table beside a CD player. Piper is seen standing in the middle of the attic, with sword in hand and Wyatt, sweating, is pushing a large stone, holding Excalibur, into the attic.)

PETE: You need to get to the gym dude.

WYATT: Whatever. (Wyatt pulls the sword from the stone and it glows.)Why didn't I do that downstairs?

PIPER: That's a good question; anyway let the training montage begin.

PETE: (smiling) To inspirational music.

(Pete presses play on the CD player and "The eye of the tiger" starts playing. Wyatt smiles and Piper strikes forward. Wyatt stumbles backward.)

PIPER: Always keep your guard up, now let's try this again.

PETE: Let's hold back on the inspirational music.

(Scene: Apartment building. Bedroom. Angela is standing outside the bathroom, in her bedroom, tapping her foot anxiously.)

ANGELA: (anxiously) Hurry up in there!

BIANCA: (o/s) Contrary to popular belief, it is much harder to pee on a stick than you might think!

(A loud knock is heard.)

JENNIFER: (o/s) Angela!

(Angela's head snaps toward the living room. A click is heard, indicating that the apartment door has been opened)

BIANCA: (o/s) Get rid of her before this is spread like a wildfire.

(Angela hurries toward the living room, stumbling on the floor along the way. Cut to Living Room. Jennifer frowns as she hears a knock in the bedroom before Angela limps into the living room, hurriedly closing the bedroom door behind her.)

JENNIFER: (frowning) What happened to you?

ANGELA: (nervously) I uh tripped and fell that's all.

JENNIFER: (frowning) Uhh okay, well can I use the bathroom-

ANGELA: (nervously) You don't wanna go in there...huge mess...like massive.

JENNIFER: (suspicious) Angie, do you have a guy in there?

ANGELA: (laughs nervously) Aha, you caught me. So you really can't-

JENNIFER: Maybe I can just take a peak-

ANGELA: (alarmed) No! (pauses) You can't go in there because...

JENNIFER: Because...

ANGELA: (anxiously) Because, guess who's at the manor? I'm gonna skip the guessing part, Pete, I found out this morning.

JENNIFER: (shocked) Pete, as in hot, hunky, heaven-sent, heartthrob, hugely sexy and amazing Pete, dipped in extra hotness.

ANGELA: (smiling) That's the one.

JENNIFER: I should probably go see Wyatt...you know...just to say happy 26th birthday.

(A smiling Angela nods as Jennifer hurries out of the apartment. Cut to hallway. Jennifer retrieves her cell phone from her bag and dials a number. Cut to Skye. Skye is lying on her bed when the telephone rings beside her. She reaches for the phone and holds it to her ear.)

JENNIFER: (o/s) You'll never guess who's in town.

SKYE: Jennifer, I told you I'll spy on Greg, you don't have to soft soap me.

JENNIFER: (o/s) Forget about Greg until tomorrow, Pete's in town.

(Skye's jaw drops.)

SKYE: Pete, as in sexy, swooning, seductive-

JENNIFER: (o/s) Uhuh, the one we always lusted after in high school. Get Hayley and meet me at the Manor if you wanna see the Abercrombie and Fitch model do his thing while his sexy rippling muscles contract and flex and-

SKYE: (anxiously) I'll meet you there.

(Skye ends the phone call and hurries off the bed. Cut to Angela. Angela enters her bedroom and finds Bianca sitting on the bed.)

ANGELA: So what's the verdict?

BIANCA: I don't know. I dropped it into the toilet because I was afraid we would get caught.

ANGELA: What? We don't have time to try again; we have to get to the club to meet Caitlyn.

BIANCA: Don't worry, we'll get another one later; let's just get to the club.

(Angela exits the bedroom and Bianca sneaks a quick glance at the bathroom before following Angela.)

(Scene: Bayview High School. Tennis Court. Katie is on the tennis court, hitting balls coming from a ball shooter. The coach and a few other students near the tennis court.)

COACH: (smiling) Katie, great to see the captain diving into fifth gear so early in the season.

KATIE: (running towards the group) What can I say coach, I aim to please.

COACH: Okay everybody, start warming up!

(The group of girls start warming up and Tori hurries toward the group with her tennis racket.)

TORI: Sorry I'm late coach.

KATIE: (frowning) Late for what? This isn't modelling 101.

TORI: Good, because I can already walk the plank better than you.

COACH: Tori is actually really good Katie; I convinced her to join the team this year.

(The coach heads over to the other girls.)

TORI: (sarcastic) Great, this season is just gonna be so much fun with you... but, just so you know, I'm planning on becoming captain.

KATIE: (laughs) By doing what? Standing there and looking pretty.

TORI: Thanks for saying I'm pretty but people like you are the reason I'm on medication, you know that?

KATIE: I completely agree. I used to wonder why people bang their heads against brick walls; then I met you.

TORI: Oh yeah, well last night I had a nightmare... I dreamt I was you.

KATIE: Cancel my subscriptions…I'm tired of your issues.

TORI: Don't hate me because I'm beautiful.

COACH: Girls! We're waiting for you!

KATIE: Remember that time I said you are cool…oh wait, that never happened.

(Katie heads off to the group and an angry Tori soon follows her. "Find yourself in you" by Everlife starts playing in the background. Katie and Tori face each other on opposite sides of the tennis court. Katie throws the tennis ball into the air and slams the ball, hitting an ace on her first shot. Katie laughs out loud and Tori fake smiles in return. Katie serves again but this time Tori returns the ball fast and a shocked Katie hurries backward to return the ball. Shift to P3. Caitlyn, Angela and Bianca are busy decorating the club for Wyatt's Birthday. Bianca's cheeks expand and she hurries toward the bathroom, Caitlyn and Angela following her with their eyes. Shift to Attic. Wyatt and Piper are in a sword fight. Piper aims for Wyatt's mid-section and he deflects the attack with Excalibur. Piper ducks and slide kicks Wyatt, knocking him off his feet. Shift to Tennis Court. Tori and Katie are in an intense rally, hitting the ball back and forth between each other. Shift to Attic. Wyatt spins around and knocks Piper's sword from her hands. He immediately redirects Excalibur at Piper's neck. The music stops playing. Piper smiles and flicks her hands and creates a mid-air explosion. Wyatt jumps back in surprise and Piper trips him. Wyatt falls to the ground.)

PETE: Man aunt Piper, go easy on the fella, you kicked his ass times three.

WYATT: (standing up) No, that was so unfair, I had you.

PIPER: (smiling) Demon's don't play fair honey but you've improved, I'll give you that.

WYATT: I'm not improving fast enough though and I feel like I ate a bad taco.

PIPER: That's probably because you don't have your powers. You're just trying to hard. Excalibur's powers are available to you naturally; just feel the sword and everything else will come naturally.

WYATT: (miserable) Is this the part of the movie where we meditate and mom cracks up some ancient Chinese proverb?

(Piper rolls her eyes and smirks. Jennifer and the twins hurry into the attic.)

JENNIFER & THE TWINS: (happily) Wyatt, happy birthday!

WYATT: (smiling) Thanks guys-

JENNIFER: Pete, is that you, what a surprise...

SKYE: (whispering to Wyatt) Catch up with you later.

(Skye and Jennifer hurry towards Pete and Hayley attempts to follow them.)

PIPER: Hayley?

HAYLEY: (smiling) Aunt Piper, what's up?

PIPER: What happened yesterday? Jimmy called... frantic.

HAYLEY: (scoffs) Unbelievable, he called you? That jerk pms's and blames me.

PIPER: Hayley, he's our best cook, why didn't you call me?

HAYLEY: I didn't need to; Chris jumped in and took the kitchen by storm.

PIPER: (furrowing eyebrows) Really?

(Hayley replies with a distracted nod and starts toward Pete, Jennifer and Skye. Cut to Outside. A postman is walking along the sidewalk and nears the Manor. A demon appears in a cloud of smoke before the postman.)

POSTMAN: (startled) What the-

(The demon retrieves an amulet from his neck and a grey glow is sucked into the amulet and the postman falls to the floor, before disappearing in a dust cloud. The demon transfigures into the postman and heads to the Manor. He knocks on the door. After a few seconds, a giggling Skye opens the door, Jennifer and Pete a few feet behind her.)

SKYE: (frowns) Can I help you?

DEMON: (disguised as postman) Uhh, I was just wondering if I could get a glass of water please, the weather is crazy hot out there.

SKYE: (smiling) Sure, follow me.

(The demon enters the Manor and follows Skye towards the kitchen.)

BREAK

ACT THREE

(Scene: Manor. Kitchen. Skye enters the kitchen and pours a glass of water. She turns toward the demon who has dropped his disguise and raised the amulet. A red glow washes over her and is sucked towards the amulet. Before it reaches the amulet, it disperses. Cut to Sunroom. Pete is whispering sweet nothings into a giggling Jennifer's ear. A red flare deposits Skye in front of them.)

ASTRAL SKYE: (disgusted) What the hell?

(The demon appears in the foyer demon, amulet raised.)

ASTRAL SKYE: (pointing at the demon) Demon!

(Skye disappears in a red flare and Jennifer and Pete turn towards the demon. A blue glow washes over Pete and the demon frowns.)

DEMON: (frowning) You're a demon?

(Skye hurries out from the kitchen and pushes the dining table towards the demon, knocking him down. The amulet falls from his hand and disappears in a dust cloud. Pete's blue glow disappears and he fazes towards the demon, thrusting him against the wall. Cut to Underworld. A circle of demons surround a podium and the amulet appears on top of it. Two of the six demons disappear in dust clouds. Cut to Attic. Piper and Wyatt are practicing with Hayley watching, amazed. An out of breath Jennifer appears at the attic entrance.)

JENNIFER: We have-

(The two demons appear in the middle of the attic.)

JENNIFER: Trouble.

(One demon telekinetically hurls Jennifer out of the attic and she lands against the stair wall. The other demon speeds towards Piper but Wyatt hurls a potion in his path. Piper explodes the potion and energy waves hurl the demons backward. Cut to Foyer. Pete and the demon are fighting at super speed with Skye trying to keep up with them with her eyes.)

(Cut to Attic. Hayley is hurled across the attic and Piper is defending herself with her sword. A demon is choking Wyatt. His eyes roll back in his head before he impales the demon with Excalibur. Piper's sword disappears in a dust cloud and reappears in the other demon's possession and he strikes at Piper. Wyatt lodges his sword in the demon's back, vanquishing the demon on contact.)

(Cut to downstairs. Skye and Pete are hurled across the room. Pete hurries back towards the demon. The demon raises his hand and Pete disappears in a cloud of dust. The demon nears Skye. Wyatt hurries down the stairs and hurls a potion at the demon, vanquishing him.)

WYATT: (helping Skye up) Where's Pete?

(Cut to Underworld. Pete is thrown into a cage which is then sealed magically. The demons all gather round a podium.)

DEMON: It is time brothers, to revive Thiero...

(The brotherhood join hands around the podium, the amulet lying on top.)

(Scene: Apartment building. Angela parks her car in front of the apartment building.)

CAITLYN: Thanks for the lift.

ANGELA: No problem, it's on my way.

CAITLYN: (furrowing eyebrows) Is everything okay with Bianca?

ANGELA: (nervous) She's fine; it's just a stomach virus.

CAITLYN: (nods) See you later!

(Caitlyn exits the car and watches Angela ride off. Cut to inside. Caitlyn enters her apartment. While taking off her jacket, she heads into her bedroom. She throws her bag on to her bed, landing it beside a spirit board. She heads toward the bathroom, before she catches movement through her peripheral vision. She slowly nears her bed, staring at the spirit board intently. Caitlyn grabs a notepad and scribbles down the spirit board's message.)

CAITLYN: (frowning) Are you sure? This isn't why I'm here.

(The spirit board spells out "yes".)

(Scene: Manor. Attic. Piper is holding an ice pack to Jennifer's neck while Wyatt is feverishly going through the Book of Shadows.)

JENNIFER: (wincing) Suddenly, I miss your healing power.

WYATT: Me too believe me.

SKYE: Do you even know what you're looking for?

WYATT: Yes, those demons...I saw them before in a dream.

HAYLEY: (sceptical) You saw the demons in your dreams?

WYATT: Uhuh and then I came to check in the Book, granted I wasn't sure since it was like twelve at night but I'm pretty sure I know what they are.

PIPER: Excalibur must've tried to warn you.

(Chris and Henry enter the messed up attic.)

CHRIS: (sarcastic) Oh no, did we miss all the fun?

HAYLEY: Uhuh (to Henry) Wyatt'll fill you in.

(Hayley grabs Chris and drags him out of the attic, with the others staring at them, frowning.)

WYATT: Ha, found them. Okay listen to this (reading)"The Omega Brotherhood is an age old brotherhood, stretching to the Middle ages. These demons strive to resurrect their master, Thiero, but lack the power to keep him alive. They use the Soul Catcher amulet to gain power along with celerity and teleporting."

SKYE: That must be why they're after you, they want the power of Excalibur.

WYATT: And what better time to get it than when I'm powerless.

JENNIFER: And on top of it all they got my boyfriend.

SKYE: (snorts) In what world? Planet Coocoo.

(Jennifer makes a face at Skye. Cut to Kitchen.)

CHRIS: Let me get this straight, you want me cook while we have demon problems?

HAYLEY: Angela is going to kill me if she finds out I forgot to plan the food, I'm begging you.

CHRIS: Doesn't this pale in comparison to evil master plans.

HAYLEY: No, because we'll stop the evil master plan...hopefully.

(Scene: Underworld. The Omega Brotherhood, with hands joint, are chanting a dead language. Pete is trying to break through the cage. Thunder gyrates through the cave and a lightning bolt flashes through the ceiling, hitting the amulet. The amulet floats into the air, surrounding an invisible neck. Another lighting bolt crashes and reveals the Brotherhood's master, Thiero, wielding the necklace and an armour suit.)

THIERO: (breathing heavily) This isn't enough power to sustain me.

DEMON: We know master, but we have a demon here; his power should be strong enough to sustain you until we get Excalibur.

THIERO: (frowning) Only the chosen one can wield Excalibur.

DEMON: Not today...today he is powerless.

(Thiero smiles and turns to Pete.)

PETE: (angrily) Let me out of here chickenshit!

(Thiero raises the Soul Catcher and a blue glow appears around Pete. The blue glow is sucked into the amulet and Pete's eyes grow black as he turns into a Manticore.)

BREAK

ACT FOUR

(Scene: Underworld. Tunnel. Caitlyn appears, in a cloud of smoke, in the middle of a cave tunnel. Voices are heard coming from the left side of the tunnel and she slowly moves that way. Nearing a cave entrance, she peers her head inside, seeing the Omega Brotherhood, Thiero and the Manticore.)

CAITLYN: (whispering to herself) Oh no, this just got ten times worse.

THIERO: A few of you will stand guard over the demon; we don't want him pulling any tricks. The rest follow me!

(Thiero disappears in a thunder bolt and a few demons follow in dust clouds.)

(Scene: Manor. Kitchen. Chris is busy with a cake mix. The entire kitchen is covered with flour. A demon appears in a dust cloud. Chris immediately points at him, sending him flying into the dining room. Chris hurries to the dining room and the demon quickly moves to his feet, speeding to the sunroom. Chris enters the dining room with thousands of flour clots following him. He thrusts his arms forward and the flour flies toward the demon, blinding him.)

CHRIS: (shouting) Uhh, guys!

(Cut to Attic. Everyone turns toward Chris' voice. Four demons appear behind Wyatt and the twins. Piper flicks her wrists and the demons slow down in speed.)

WYATT: (shouting) Jennifer, get mom out of here!

(Jennifer raises her hand and a light blue energy covers herself and Piper as the hurry out the attic. The demons regain their speed and one speeds toward Henry, knocking him off his feet. Another hurls an athame towards Wyatt. The twins orb in before him and a telepathic ripple deflects the athame, impaling him.)

(Cut to Downstairs. Chris is retreating from a speeding demon. The demon appears before him and strikes with his athame but Chris raises his hand, telekinetically forces the athame from his palm.)

(Cut to Underworld. The Manticore is trying to break through the cage and the demons laugh at his futile attempts. An explosion sounds from the cave exit. The demons bolt out of the cave. The demons head down the tunnel and as the last demon nears the cave exit, Caitlyn enters the cave, a storm of water following her. She forces her hands forward and the water blasts the demon backward, stripping him from oxygen. Caitlyn hurries toward the cage and reaches for it. An electric current shoots her backward. Two paths of fire form from the puddles of water before Caitlyn. The fire spreads towards the cage and the manticore cowers back. The cage's bars start melting and the fire disappears. Caitlyn retrieves an athame from her boot and cuts the hot metal apart.)

CAITLYN: (breathing heavily) Pete, c'mon!

(The Manticore struggle to his feet and growls.)

CAITLYN: (afraid) Oh crap!

(The Manticore fazes forward and forces Caitlyn against the cave wall. The Manticore nears Caitlyn and the rest of the demons re-enter the cave. The demons speed forward and the Manticore reciprocates the move. The Manticore starts tearing the brotherhood from limb to limb as Caitlyn watches in horror. Caitlyn rises to her feet and the Manticore turns to her.)

CAITLYN: (raising her hand defensively) Pete, c'mon it's me...Caitlyn.

(The Manticore growls and Caitlyn hurries toward the exit. Cut towards Bedroom. Jennifer is pacing back in forth in front of Piper who is seated on the bed. A lightning bolt sounds and Jennifer instinctively raises her force field in the door's direction. Thiero appears behind her and blasts her against the wall. Piper flicks her hands but her power has no effect.)

(Cut to Attic. Wyatt lodges Excalibur into two demons at the same time, vanquishing them. Near the window, Henry orbs an athame into the third demon and the twins hurl potions at the last one, exploding him. Chris hurries into the attic.)

CHRIS: (out of breath) Is everybody okay?

THIERO: (smiling) Not quite.

(The cousins turn towards the attic entrance where Thiero, holding Piper, is standing with his sharp nails against Piper's neck.)

BREAK

ACT FIVE

(Scene: Manor. Attic. Wyatt and Chris have their hands raised defensively at the smiling Thiero.)

THIERO: Hand over Excalibur, before I snap your mother's pretty little neck.

PIPER: (stubborn) Send this crazy bastard straight to hell!

THIERO: I wouldn't listen to her you know? My finger may just slip.

(A small drop of crimson red blood appears on Piper's neck.)

WYATT: (worriedly) No, wait! I'll give you Excalibur.

(Wyatt places Excalibur on the floor, pushing it towards Thiero. Thiero picks up Excalibur and smiles.)

THIERO: Don't you know you can't trust demons?

(Thiero chokes Piper and raises her into the air. He strikes at Piper.)

CHRIS: (shouting) No!

(Chris raises his hand and Piper is pulled from Thiero's grasp.)

WYATT: (smiles) Don't you know that Excalibur only has one master?

(Thiero strikes at Wyatt but an electrical current passes through Excalibur and travels toward Thiero's amulet. The amulet shatters and a plethora of beams, grey and one blue, fly out of the amulet and Excalibur floats out of Thiero's grasp and floats towards Wyatt. Wyatt raises his hand and the sword, levitating in the air, starts glowing gold. It aims itself at Thiero and impales itself in Thiero's chest. Thiero explodes into thousands of golden orbs which spread through the whole attic.)

(Cut to Underworld. Caitlyn dodges various attacks from the Manticore. Pete's blue glow flies into the Manticore and the Manticore hesitates. Caitlyn nears him.)

CAITLYN: (sincere) Pete...this isn't you. You are a good person.

(A tear slips from the Manticore's eye and it roars. It transfigures back into Pete and he searches the, now, empty cave. Frowning, Pete wipes the tear from his face and shimmers out of the cave.)

(Stock shots of San Francisco at night are shown. Scene: Manor. Attic. Wyatt is sitting on the couch, staring at Excalibur, lodged into the large stone. Leo and Piper enter the attic.)

PIPER: Everyone is looking for you with a passion.

LEO: Well everyone except Jennifer, off course, she can't stop ogling Pete.

PIPER: Honey please, you're too old to be jealous. (to Wyatt)Is everything okay?

WYATT: Uhuh fine, everything's just so surreal. I still can't believe I'm the Chosen one.

PIPER: Well Chosen one or not, don't lose sight of the fact that you're in a group. You work best when you work together.

LEO: (helping Wyatt up) Now you better get going. Oh and Happy birthday.

(Wyatt smiles as he heads out of the attic, followed by his parents. Cut to Middle floor. As Piper passes the bathroom, Chris exits the bathroom and she hurries back towards him.)

PIPER: Hey there, I heard what you did yesterday...and after seeing the state of the kitchen, I know what you did today.

CHRIS: I might as well cook for the rest of my life since I can't do anything else.

PIPER: (smiling) That's exactly what I was thinking. You start tomorrow.

CHRIS: (shocked) What?

PIPER: (heading downstairs) You're head chef, keep up will you?

(Cut to Foyer. The twins, Jennifer, Pete and Henry are waiting in the foyer.)

JENNIFER: (shouting) C'mon Wyatt and Chris, we still have a few hours of partying we can salvage!

(Cut to Wyatt. Wyatt exits his bedroom and bumps into Melinda.)

WYATT: Hey!

MELINDA: (smiling) Hey! Happy birthday.

(Melinda exchanges a quick hug with Wyatt. Melinda passes Wyatt, heading to her room.)

WYATT: Do you wanna come to my surprise birthday party?

MELINDA: (smiles) Surprise huh? (pauses)Thanks, but I think I'm gonna call it a night.

(Wyatt nods and Melinda enters her bedroom. Shift to P3. All the cousins, except Melinda, Pete and Caitlyn are celebrating Wyatt's birthday.)

CHRIS: (to Angela) Where's Bianca?

ANGELA: Uhh, bathroom break.

(Cut to Bathroom. Bianca is seated on a toilet, tapping her feet anxiously. She stares at a pregnancy test intently until is shows positive. Bianca sighs and throws the pregnancy test into her handbag, beside another positive test. She takes a deep breath and heads out the bathroom. Cut to Angela.)

ANGELA: (to Hayley) I stuffed it in Wyatt's office.

CAITLYN: I'll get it.

PETE: I'll help.

(Cut to Wyatt's office. Caitlyn enters the office, followed closely by Pete. Caitlyn picks up the cake on Wyatt's desk.)

PETE: I remember everything.

CAITLYN: (stunned) What?

PETE: (nearing Caitlyn) You saved me, using magic. You know what I am...You know what Wyatt is.

CAITLYN: (passing Pete) I don't know what you're talking about.

PETE: That's interesting, cause you didn't even flinch when I mentioned magic.

(Caitlyn pauses and turns to Pete.)

PETE: Tell me what you're hiding, or at least tell Wyatt...or I will.

CAITLYN: (sincere) I'm asking you not to, not yet.

PETE: Secrets lead to heartbreak so that doesn't mean anything to me.

CAITLYN: Considering I saved your life it should.

(Caitlyn exits the office with the cake. A few minutes later "Happy Birthday" can be heard and Pete exits the office, finding everyone singing to Wyatt. Angela sneaks a glance at Bianca, who glances at Chris. Jennifer hurries toward Pete, who sneaks glances between Caitlyn and a smiling Wyatt.)
