Commercial Break
[Scene: Manor, Nighttime. Phoebe is looking through the Book of Shadows in the attic. Kyle, Cole and Conner are there.]
PHOEBE: I got him. (She reads from the book) The Darklighter of Hallucination. Served multiple upper-level demons and warlocks, including the Source and Hecate. Known to kill future Whitelighters by bewitching their minds with Hell dust.
CONNER: Does it say how to vanquish him?
PHOEBE: Uh, "destroy him with his own poison", whatever that means.
COLE: His crossbow.
PHOEBE: I'll start scrying.
[Scene: 415 magazine. Prue is developing some photos. Her phone rings. She picks up.]
PRUE: Hello.
[Cut to Phoebe at the manor]
PHOEBE: Hey, Prue. Are you still at work?
[Cut back to Prue]
PRUE: Uh, yeah actually. I'm sorry, I just got distracted.
[Cut back to Phoebe]
PHOEBE: It's okay. I just wanted to let you know that we found the Darklighter that's after Kyle. Cole and I are gonna leave. Can you by any chance come to the manor? Connor's here, but I think he might need some backup in case the Darklighter showed up.
[Cut back to Prue]
PRUE: Where's Leo?
PHOEBE'S VOICE: He went to P3. Piper called him.
PRUE: Alright, you and Cole can take off…
[Cut back to Phoebe]
PRUE'S VOICE: I'll be there in fifteen minutes.
PHOEBE: Thanks, Prue.
PRUE'S VOICE: No problem.
(Phoebe hangs up)
[Cut back to Prue. She hangs up and gets her purse and jacket. She looks at her unfinished project documents on the desk and her newly developed photos. She quickly waves her hand, using telekinesis to push everything off the desk and onto the floor. She smiles and leaves.]
[Cut outside the manor. Phoebe and Cole get into her car and drive off. The Lilim sisters walk from across the street to the manor, dressed in black robes with hoods covering their heads. You can't see their faces. Lamia waves her arm at the door and it slowly opens. They walk into the manor]
LAMIA: You know what to do, sisters.
[Scene: P3. Leo is looking for Piper in the crowd.]
PIPER: Leo!
LEO: Piper!
PIPER: Get me outta here! This place is crazy! (They walk into an empty room and close the door.) Hurry! Come on, come on!
(They orb out)
[Cut to Manor. The Lilim sisters spread around the manor. You still can't see their faces under their dark robes. Mormo walks to the kitchen.]
MOROMO: "Black as night, Full of might, Stronger than light, Come into sight." (Black smoke starts coming out of the floor beneath her.)
[Cut to Empusa in the sitting room. She slides her fingers across a table as she walks.]
EMPUSA: "Black as night, Full of might, Stronger than light, Come into sight." (Black smoke comes out of her fingers as she slides them across the table.)
[Cut to Lamia walking up the stairs.]
LAMIA: "Black as night, Full of might, Stronger than light, Come into sight." (Black smoke comes out from the wall and the stairs.)
[Cut to Attic. Conner and Kyle are there. Connor senses a change in the manor.]
KYLE: What is it?
CONNOR: The House. (He slowly walks to the attic door. Prue suddenly walks in.) Prue!
PRUE: Hey. What are you guys doing?
KYLE: (To Connor) What did you say about the house again?
CONNOR: Nothing. I thought I heard something.
PRUE: Strange, I didn't hear anything.
(Piper comes in)
PIPER: What's going on?
PRUE: Oh, nothing. Looks like Connor's getting a little tired of babysitting.
KYLE: What? Are you talking about…
PIPER: Shush kiddo. Grownups are talking.
CONNOR: Are you guys okay?
PIPER: yeah, sure, why not?
PRUE: Uh, Connor, thank you so much for your help, but I think we can take it from here. So you might just go home now.
CONNOR: But… I…
PIPER: Leave. (Connor walks out of the attic) Thank you.
PRUE: (To Kyle) Now, how about we get you some nice good sleepy-time. (She moves her fingers. Kyle falls asleep on the floor.)
PIPER: Nice work.
PRUE: Thank you. (They walk to Kyle and look down at him.) Hmm, I hope Mormo knows what she's doing down there.
PIPER: I wouldn't worry about her. I'm just glad this glamour worked.
PRUE: Yes I know, Empusa. Our spell is working. Soon, this house will be ours.
(They look at their reflections in a mirror. Prue and Piper are actually Lamia and Empusa.)
[Cut to the foyer downstairs. Connor leaves the manor and closes the door. The real Piper and Leo orb in.]
PIPER: Oh, Jeez! That place was going crazy! It's a good thing you came to get me. It would've taken me days to get outta there.
LEO: Well, we better look for the others.
PIPER: Yeah, I haven't been so helpful today, haven't I?
(Mormo, in Phoebe's form, comes out of the kitchen.)
MORMO/PHOEBE: Piper? Leo? What are you guys doing here?
PIPER: Phoebe? Weren't you looking for the Darklighter?
MORMO/PHOEBE: Wow, did you show up late for the party or what? We vanquished the Darklighter like half an hour ago.
LEO: Where are Cole and Conner?
MORMO/PHOEBE: Oh, they went to drop Kyle off. He's such a cute kid.
PIPER: So, everything's under control?
MORMO/PHOEBE: Yes. Don't worry too much, Piper. Go back to your club.
(Piper looks at Leo)
LEO: Fine.
MORMO/PHOEBE: Have fun you guys. (Piper and Leo orb out.) I will. (Her face turns demonic as she smiles.)
