[Scene: Alley. Cole falls on the ground.]

PHOEBE: Cole!

(She gets up and runs to him. A demon blocks her way. She levitates and kicks the demon, sending him flying. He hits a broken pipe and bursts into flames. Three other demons come from behind Phoebe. She levitates some fire from the ground and channels it at one of them who then bursts into flames and disappears.)

PHOEBE: (To the other two demons) You wanna piece of that? (The two demons shimmer out. Phoebe runs to Cole.) Cole! Wake up! Are you okay?

COLE: Yeah. Where did they go?

PHOEBE: Two of them ran away, the others are dead.

COLE: Good. We better get outta here before they come back with more of their friends. (He gets up. They walk away.)

PHOEBE: I doubt they'll be coming back.

COLE: We still need go someplace else.

PHOEBE: Where? The manor's not safe anymore and the underworld must know that we're on the run.

COLE: What about P3?

PHOEBE: I don't think Piper is in a welcoming mood right now.

COLE: Why not? It's not like you guys didn't fight before. I'm sure you can work things out.

PHOEBE: Not this time. Things have changed, and besides, my sisters don't believe in my powers anymore

COLE: You can't think that. You just vanquished like ten demons.

PHOEBE: Not without your help.

COLE: I'm just saying you didn't need your sisters with you to stay alive. If they don't think you're powerful, then…

(Phoebe stops and picks up a blue athame. She has a premonition of Jeremy Burns attacking Piper at P3.)

PHOEBE: Oh, no.

COLE: What happened?

PHOEBE: I saw Piper being attacked by Jeremy at P3. We have to get there now. (She runs off)

COLE: Who? (He follows her)

[Scene: P3. Piper and Leo are there.]

PIPER: I think we should get the Elders to help us.

LEO: They won't be able to do anything in this situation.

PIPER: Got any better ideas?

LEO: I'm not sure if you're gonna like it.

PIPER: okay, if you're gonna tell me to contact my sisters again then you should just forget about it. I already told you I'm not doing it.

LEO: What have you got to lose?

PIPER: What have I got left?

LEO: I'll always be with you, Piper, you know that.

PIPER: That's what's scaring me. You're risking your life for me, but what happens if you get hurt?

LEO: That will never happen. No one's going to attack us.

(Piper smiles. Jeremy appears from behind Leo, holding a knife. Piper sees him.)

PIPER: You had to jinx it.

(Jeremy throws fire at them. Piper pushes Leo away and he falls unconscious. She gets up and faces Jeremy. She tries to blow him up but he only falls back on the floor.)

PIPER: Crap!

(Jeremy laughs)

JEREMY: Cool power, bitch! But this time I'm not here for you.

(Piper looks at Leo who's still unconscious and then turns back to Jeremy. She quickly stands in front of Leo, blocking him from Jeremy.)

PIPER: No!

(Jeremy throws his knife at Piper. A blue force field appears around her, deflecting the knife's path and sending it into Jeremy's chest. Jeremy screams in pain as he bursts into flames and is vanquished. Piper goes to Leo and wakes him up.)

PIPER: Leo, come on, come on wake up.

LEO: What happened?

PIPER: I'm not really sure. Jeremy just tried to kill us, but something happened and he was just gone.

LEO: Did you cast a spell?

PIPER: No, I thought only the power of three spell could vanquish him. I couldn't even blow him up.

LEO: Then how were you able to vanquish him?

(Phoebe and Cole come running down the stairs.)

PHOEBE: Piper! Piper, thank God! Are you okay? Where's Jeremy?

PIPER: Dead, again.

PHOEBE: You vanquished him alone?

PIPER: Not really. He threw a knife at me and this force field appeared and sent it flying back at him.

PHOEBE: A force field?

LEO: Are you sure?

PIPER: Yeah, why?

LEO: Well, nothing. It's just…

COLE: Creating a force field without a spell or a potion is pretty powerful stuff. Not even the source had that kind of power in his days.

PHOEBE: (to Leo) Does this mean that Piper's powers are growing?

LEO: I don't know. I'll have to check with the Elders.

PIPER: Please hurry! (Leo Orbs out. There's a moment of silence. Neither Phoebe nor Piper know what to say next.) So… how have you been?

PHOEBE: Pretty good. I vanquished a few demons a few minutes ago.

PIPER: Ditto.

(They both smile. Paige comes down the stairs.)

PAIGE: Anybody in here?

PHOEBE: Hey.

PAIGE: I hope I'm not interrupting anything.

PIPER: No, not really. But weren't you mad at us just a while ago?

(Paige is embarrassed)

PAIGE: Yeah, that. Well, after I stormed out of here. I went to Glen's, and we talked for a while and then I realized that I kind of overreacted a little bit. So, I decided to come back here and apologize to all of you guys. After what happened with Kyle, I guess I was afraid we were up against something that was over our heads.

PHOEBE: Well, to be honest, it is over our heads, but that doesn't mean we can't conquer it. And besides, it looks like one of us is getting stronger over here. Leo's checking with the Elders right now.

PAIGE: Is there a chance it could be me? I think I could use a little kick to get caught up with Prue's new power. (Phoebe and Piper chuckle) Umm, where is Prue anyway?

PIPER: I don't know.

PHOEBE: Maybe she's gone back to the manor.

PIPER: No, I'm sure she knows what the manor's become now. There's no way.

PHOEBE: Well, wherever she is, we need to find her.

PAIGE: I have an idea.

[Scene: Street. Prue is walking alone. Conner appears from behind her.]

CONNER: Prue! Where do you think you're going?

PRUE: I don't know. I don't really care.

CONNER: You can't do this.

PRUE: Oh, Yeah? And who's gonna stop me? I've sacrificed my entire life for my sisters, and now they want me out of their way. I'm giving them what they want.

CONNER: You're wrong, Prue. There's a reason why this is happening to you. Don't let the Lilims get to you. You're stronger than them.

PRUE: No, I'm not.

CONNER: Then, come back to your sisters, Prue. They need you, more than ever. It's not just about the battle, Prue. You guys have been in this together for years. Don't give up on them now. Take my hand.

PRUE: What if we lose the fight?

CONNER: Then we'll lose it together. I'm sure there'll be a good reason for that too.

(Prue smiles. She takes his hand and they both disappear.)

[Scene: P3. Piper, Phoebe, Paige and Cole are there.]

PHOEBE: (To Paige) Are you sure it's gonna work.

PAIGE: Don't worry. He won't let us down.

PHOEBE: He better not. Otherwise, we just lost Prue for good. (Prue and Conner appear. Paige and Phoebe run to them, Piper follows.) Conner!

CONNER: I told you to trust me.

PAIGE: Thank you.

PRUE: I thought you guys didn't want to see me again.

PHOEBE: No, Prue. We never wanted you to leave us. You will always be our big sister, no matter what kind of evil tries to come in between us.

PAIGE: We'll always be here for you, you know.

PRUE: Thanks.

(Phoebe and Paige look at Piper who's still quiet.)

PIPER: (To Prue) It doesn't matter what happened. All I know is that I don't want to lose anyone else that I love. You've always been the strongest in the family, Prue, and we'll always need you by our side.

PRUE: It's nice to know that.

(Piper smiles. All four sisters hug. The triquetra on the book of shadows glows. Bright blue light rays shine over the sisters. The triquetra on the book turns back to its original form.)

COLE: Uh, What just happened?

PAIGE: That's a good question.

(They here a loud demonic scream.)

[Cut to the sky outside. A portal opens. The sky turns green.]

[Cut back to P3]

PRUE: okay, what is that noise?

PHOEBE: I guess evil's not liking this.

[Cut to San Francisco city. The portal in the green sky starts to glow as the screams grow louder.]

[Cut to Halliwell Manor. Kitchen. The evil charmed ones are there, mixing a potion.]

LAMIA: He's unpleased.

EMPUSA: Unpleased?! I'm going deaf over here!

MORMO: I say we finish this potion fast.

LAMIA: Agreed. Mormo, get the viles.

[Cut back to P3. Phoebe opens the book of shadows and starts flipping through the pages. Piper is wiping the blood off of Prue with a towel.]

PAIGE: So, what's the new plan again?

PHOEBE: I haven't figured it all out yet, but I'm getting there. I just need to find one last spell in here.

PIPER: Do we need to make any potions for this.

PHOEBE: No. Not yet anyway. (She finds the page she's looking for.) Here it is. (Her sisters take a quick look.)

PRUE: Uh, how is this gonna help?

PHOEBE: We'll find that out really soon. It just needs to be re-written, that's all.

(We see the page. It's the "To Call Our Ancestors" Spell.)
