Morality Bites
Piper walks in the kitchen carrying groceries with one shoe off "Whoa, what did you buy?" Phoebe asks while Piper walks out of the laundry room.
Piper says holding her other shoe up "Doodie."
Prue jokingly says "We weren't out of that." and everybody laughs
Piper corrects her "No, I stepped in it again, that man has turned our front walk into a puppy minefield."
"I cannot believe that guy still lets his dog so his business right in front of our house." Phoebe exclaims.
Prue says "Yeah well we've left notes…"
"And gotten nowhere," Piper finishes her sister's sentence.
Phoebe says in kind of a tone "Well, I've had it the next time I catch him in the act, I'm gonna give him a piece of my mind."
Suddenly they hear the dog bark "That couldn't be." Piper says.
Phoebe says "Oh, I hope it is." They head toward the window as Michael walks in the house with his backpack on.
"Did you know that guy is in front of our house again?" he asks them and they look at him like it is an obvious answer "Oh right."
Piper says "That's them. That's the guy and his dog…I can't believe it."
They look out the window "That is so rude he is just gonna walk away." Prue says motioning her hand towards the window.
Phoebe says as a quick reply "Then don't let him. Use your magic." Everybody looks at her "Well if we can't teach the dog new tricks how about the owner? Just think of all the money we'd save on carpet cleaning alone."
Prue says to her "Phoebe, we can't use magic to teach him or anybody else a lesson." stating the obvious rules of witches
Phoebe says "Why not? It's for the greater good, right? I, I mean that's our job, right? Think of it as community service we'd be doing the whole block a favor."
"I just wish I could shoot him with an energy ball. Maybe that'd solve our problems." Michael says looking out the window about ready to conjure an energy ball
"Michael, you know better." Prue says looking at him with a face of disappointment
Michael says to her "I'm kidding." and fakes a laugh
Phoebe opens the window and says to Piper "Okay Piper."
Piper says "I hope he's not out of my range." and she throws out her hands freezing the man and his dog
Phoebe says "Prue." as a sign for Prue to do her part and she flicks her finger. The man and dog unfreeze and the guy wipes his shoe on the ground.
Piper says to Prue "Nice shot."
Phoebe says "An eye for an eye a shoe for a shoe."
The guy wipes his shoe on the side walk and turns around. One of the sisters says "Ooh duck."
Prue asks Phoebe "Did he see you?"
Phoebe says "So what if he did? What's he gonna do cry witch?" She walks over to the couch and Michael follows her "Well, we've done our good deed for the day. I think I deserve fifteen minutes of channel surfing."
Piper asks them "Who wants coffee?" as if to get an answer
Prue says "I'll grind." following Piper
Phoebe sits on the couch with Michael and turns on the TV channel about monkeys, justice and a baseball player named Cal Greene. She is instantly pulled into a premonition.
Premonition
Phoebe is burning at the stake
End of premonition
"Ah." she yells in pain while Prue and Piper run in to see what's wrong
Prue asks her right away "Phoebe, are you okay?" Piper tells her "Take a deep breath. It's all right."
"No, its not I saw my future I was being executed burned alive" Phoebe tells them and they all start to worry.
Opening Credits
Piper walks in holding a glass of tea for Phoebe before asking "Why would a report about a baseball player trigger a premonition like that?"
Piper hands Phoebe the glass and she answers Piper's question "I don't know all I know is I could feel it I could feel the fire."
Piper asks another question "And we were just standing there? That can't be right."
Phoebe again answers "It's what I saw,"
Prue says to her "There's no way we would let that happen not in the past, present or future."
Phoebe wonders aloud "What did I do? Or what is it that I am going to do?" she doesn't get a reply because the doorbell rings.
Michael says "Huh, saved by the bell I'll get it." Piper gets up to follow him he opens the door only for Piper to say something to Leo first.
"Hey Stranger." she says as he walks in and Michael closes the door
"Oh, is that what I am now?" Leo asks Piper playing around
Piper says "Mm-hmm playing hooky?"
Leo says "Well, they're making me work tonight so I got the afternoon off."
Piper says "Ooh, the old I gotta save the world excuse again."
Leo says to her "Oh, like you've never had to use it." Piper breathes in and he recognizes she is about to use it "You're about to use it."
Piper tells him "Well, there's just something I have to do maybe you could…"
Leo looks up as he hears the elders tell him something "Now?" he says
"Uh, Leo," Piper says getting his attention
Leo says "Uh, it's okay there is actually something I have to take care of."
Piper looks down and says "Well, we really need to talk about things, you, about where we stand?"
Leo agrees by saying "Yeah we do. Rain check?"
Piper tells him "It's what we do best," They kiss and he orbs out and she says to herself and Michael "I hate when he does that."
Attic
Leo orbs into the attic and he is holding his hands over the Book of Shadows and the pages are flipping he hears the sisters and Michael coming into the attic he orbs out and the pages continue flipping.
Prue's voice is heard through the attic "So what did he want?"
Piper's voice is heard "Can't go on a date. He's working late again."
Phoebe says to Piper "You didn't ask him what we should do?"
Piper tells her "He had to fly literally, the pages were doing that flipping things on their own again."
Prue walks over to the book as do the others "It's a spell to take us to the future." she explains.
Piper says "Two. One to send us and one to bring us home, but apparently, we only get one shot once we use it they disappear."
"Wait a minute, you guys, we almost died going back to the past. This is not something that you just do." Phoebe explains to them.
"You went to the past?" Michael asks turning to Piper.
Prue tells her "We're talking about your life Phoebe,"
Phoebe retorts back "And I'm talking about yours, Prue. I'm just saying I think we should think this over a little bit."
Prue says "Look, you had that premonition today for a reason it must mean that we're supposed to do something about it, and going to the future might be the only way to find out what you did to put you on that Pyre."
Phoebe asks Prue "How do you know it's something I did? What if it's a demon or Warlock that puts me there?"
Prue thinks for a moment "Do you really want to wait to find out? Okay, pack your bags, we go, try and figure out what happened, and hopefully come back with enough information to stop it. We're gonna need a date, Phoebe."
Phoebe is remembering the date "Uh, February 12, 2009. That's two weeks before the date I saw in my premonition."
Prue says "All right, that should give us more than enough time to figure out what put you there." while Phoebe writes the date down on paper.
Piper wanders aloud "I wonder how I look." Everyone looks at her.
Phoebe says "Piper, you look great but, this is hardly the time to…"
Piper interrupts her "Not now, in the future. When we went back to the seventies we saw ourselves as kids, now were gonna be seeing ourselves walking around ten years older? All the vanquishing think of the wear and tear."
Prue lights a match and sets the paper on fire beginning the spell "'hear these words hear the rhyme,'"
Piper says her part "'we send to you this burning sign,'"
Phoebe says her part "'then our future selves will find'"
Michael says his part "'In another place and time,'" white orbs surround them and time is fast forwarding
Future Michael's apartment
Michael's spirit goes into his future self "Whoa," He says looking around "This must be my place when I am older," he looks in the mirror "And I look so handsome, as usual,"
Some voice in the other room says "Mikey, you might wanna come look at this,"
"Uh, coming," He walks out to the living room and sees his roommate, Zeke, at the TV. Michael looks at it "Oh, my god," he says.
"Looks like the secrets been revealed," Zeke says.
"Wait you know?" Michael asks confused. Zeke nods in confusion. "Does Piper still live at the Manor?" He asks.
"Yeah," Zeke says "Mikey, what is wrong with you?"
"I gotta go," Michael says shimmering out and hears Zeke say "Be careful,"
Manor
Piper goes into her future self and wakes up to her daughter "Mommy, mommy, mommy," Melinda says running to Piper
Piper hesitates and says "I think you have the wrong house, certainly the wrong mommy."
Melinda says "Stop fooling." car honks "Carpool!" she runs to the door while Piper looks in the mirror.
She checks herself out in the mirror and she hears Michael in her head saying 'Piper turn on your TV' she looks at the TV in the mirror and sees Phoebe on the thing and she turns around saying "Phoebe? Where's the volume?" TV says to her "Command recognized." and turns up the TV "Huh?" she says to the TV.
News person is on the TV saying "…Execution of Phoebe Halliwell coming up in just a moment now back to your regularly scheduled programming…"
Melinda says from somewhere in the house "Mom I'm gonna be late." Piper says "Uh, okay TV shut up, mute, something."
The TV says "Command recognized," it turns down and Piper walks into the other room and sees Melinda and a woman standing there with another girl.
The woman tells her "Morning Piper, you all right?" she asks Piper.
Piper says "I guess."
The woman speaks again "Yeah, uh, it, with your sister, it's rough I know. So don't worry about your little one I'll get her from school like you asked but, are you sure you want me to take her to your ex's?"
Piper asks her seriously "Ex- As-in-husband? As in-mine? Yes. Yes, if that is what I told you then yes."
The woman asks her "So you and he are getting along better now?"
"Maybe, Prue?" She looks looking for Prue or Michael "Mikey?" she yells hoping for an answer
The woman says to Melinda "Okay kiddo lets hit the road. How about your niece? I can take her to school too."
"My niece, um…" Piper starts but the second girl speaks up.
"My Mom's coming to get me."
Melinda grabs her backpack and waits for the woman to go outside before turning to her mother "Don't worry mommy, I promise I'll do as you ask, I won't use my magic again ever." she hugs her mom and then the other girl before going outside. Melinda gets in the car and the car drives off.
"Aunt Piper," the remaining girl interrupts Piper's thoughts. "Mom should be here by now. Maybe she forgot. Can you call her?" she asks.
Piper hesitates and studies the girl as if to place which sister of hers the girl belonged to. She had lighter brown hair with dark green eyes which didn't really help solve the puzzle.
Before Piper answers her niece, a limo pulls up revealing Prue.
Prue gets out and walks up the stairs "Hey, hey, hey, people." she loses it and yells at them "Okay, enough, people stop touching me!" she snaps and grabs her purse and says to them "Stay."
She walks up the stairs and Piper asks her "Prue, what's going on?"
Prue starts to answer her but the girl runs up to Prue with a large smile on her face. "Hey, Mommy! How was work? Are you gonna stay home with me today?" she asks hopefully.
Prue's eyes widen and she glances at Piper, silently asking who the girl was to which Piper shrugs. "Um, I don't know, sweetheart, is your dad around by chance?"
"Not yet… He had the night shift. I can call him if you want," the girl offers.
"Thanks, sweetie, that would be great," Prue agrees and her daughter runs off to the phone.
Piper watches the girl run off. "And what are you going to tell to your daughter's father?" she asks.
"I don't know, but I didn't really want to talk in front of her. But, really, check me out. I don't just work at Buckland's I own it, and three more Paris, Tokyo, and London."
Piper puts her hands in her face and says "And you're blonde."
Prue looks at it in her hand and says "Yeah strange."
Piper asks her "Wait, you had time to go to work already?"
Prue tells her right away "Actually, I woke up there, but it was amazing I had all of these assistance in this huge office, and I have a chafer and he is so totally hot. How'd you do?" she asks smiling. "And then tack on that I have a daughter…"
Piper laughs and walks inside as Prue asks "Is that a good thing or…?"
Piper says "Well, if you ignore my apparently failed marriage, the fact that I'm still living in the manor."
Prue interrupts her "Wait, you were married?"
Piper finishes "Was, my daughter is on her way…"
Prue interrupts her again "Wait, stop right there, you have a daughter too?"
Piper answers her "Yeah and, and, and, and she's, she's beautiful." she hands Prue a picture of her
"Of course she is. What's her name?" Prue asks Piper and Pipers face was down again
Piper says "Oh god, I don't know." She realizes in a panic.
"Yeah, well, I don't know mine either," Prue points out.
"But Prue, she has powers, and apparently, I told her not to use them why would I do that?"
Prue realizes something "Speaking of why, why are we in our future bodies? I mean, I thought that we were just supposed to come here and see them."
Piper says to her "Well, apparently, going to the past isn't the same as going to the future; I just wish that since we are in our future bodies, we could have a memory of what's happened in the last ten years like how I got a daughter."
Prue and Piper hear Michael in their heads. What. He shimmers in except it's not as slow as it usually is "You have a daughter?" he asks.
"Prue too, but where have you been, Michael?" Piper asks him demanding an answer
Michael says "I was at my apartment apparently." He looks at Prue and remembers something off topic "Oh by the way Andy called the other day he might be stopping by before his shift."
Prue's face widens with a smile "Wait, you have an apartment?" she guesses right away
Michael says "Yep but my roommate knows about our secret apparently he said to be careful,"
Prue suddenly realizes something "Ok wait a second, if I'm in my future body and you two are in your future bodies, then that means Phoebe."
Piper looks at the TV "Oh, TV louder, louder."
TV turns itself up and the news guy is on again "…Back to countdown to execution we're less than eight hours away, now, until the burning of Phoebe Halliwell, the witch accused of killing Cal Greene six months ago."
Piper says aloud "Eight hours? We were supposed to be here two weeks before?"
Prue shushes her and the TV continues "Let's go there now live where Sierra Stone is standing by, Sierra." she talks now "San Francisco's District Attorney Nathanial Pratt, who's discovery of the witch last August has made him an early favorite for the governor's seat just came out to make a statement lets listen in."
He starts talking now "This is a reflection of our citizens resolve to ferret out the hidden evil, to turn fear into fight and to band together as one to cleanse our city of it's great threat tonight Phoebe Halliwell will burn for her crime and when she does let that be a warning to other witches out there your next." he points.
Prue, Piper and Michael look at each other. "Mommy, I got him," her daughter exclaims.
Prue hastily flicks off the television and reaches for the surprisingly small cell phone in her daughter's hands. "Hello?" she asks hesitantly.
"Hey, look, I can't get off work until after noon…"
Prue quickly recognizes the voice. "Andy?!" she practically yells into the phone.
"… Yeah, you sound surprised." Andy replies.
"Uh, no, I just, uh, I don't know… just got done watching the news," Prue offers.
"Prue, don't do anything until I get off." Andy warns.
Prue narrows her eyes slightly. "Andy, I can't just…"
"Prue, we've been through this. Just takeSophieto Michael's to stay with Zeke and then just wait. Do you hear me?" Andy questions sternly.
"Yeah, I got it," Prue mumbles, looking down at her daughter curiously. She hangs up and kneels down in front of her. "Okay, sweetie, you're going to go to Michaels to stay with Zeke until daddy gets off work," she explains.
The girl's face falls for a moment but lightens at the mention of Zeke. "Okay, come on, Mikey. I want to see Zeke."
Prue leans toward Michael. "Just take her to your roommate and pray she recognizes him as Zeke. If not then bring her back here," she orders softly.
Commercial break
"Oh, surprise, here we go up the stairs, into the attic, grabbing the Book of Shadows please tell me we're still not going to be doing this in ten years." Prue says as climbing the stairs and entering the attic and they see the book is gone.
Piper says "Apparently not."
Prue says "What?" shocked that it is missing
Piper continues "The Book is gone."
Prue says "It's got to be here we need it to find the return spell."
Piper says to her "Prue, relax we'll find It."
At that instant Michael shimmers upstairs after dropping off Prue's daughter behind the book stand the Book of Shadows lies on. "Success," he announces.
Prue nods slightly before spinning on Piper and says "You don't know that, what if it's lost? What if we can't find it? Then we're stuck in our future bodies, with no way of getting out of them, and no way of saving Phoebe." she throws her hand out and a very strong telekinetic blast sends Michael and everything else backwards. Michael is falling out side but he shimmers out before he hits the pavement and shimmers in beside Prue and Piper again.
"What was that for?" he asks. Michael looks at a blanket that he used in the present and wonders. Is that my blanket? And the blanket was surrounded by a shimmer and appeared into Michael's hands. "Whoa," he says as it appears causing him to jump.
"Been working out guys?" Piper asks
Prue says "Well, that's a little sample of what ten years does to our powers."
Piper adds to her sentence "And to our attic." Piper looks underneath the bookstand and sees a key "A key," she picks it up and hands it to Prue.
Prue recognizes it and says "It's the key to my wall safe at Buckland's."
Piper says "Do you think that means it's there? We've never taken the book out of the house before."
Prue quickly says "Yeah, we haven't but maybe our future selves have the question is why?"
Piper says "We don't even know what we're like in this time, Prue, let alone what we think, but if the book is at Buckland's Maybe it'll give us some answers."
Prue says "Alright, then we go there first, then to Phoebe to see if she's alright." they start walking and she says "Sorry about the mess." as Piper doesn't like messy houses.
Hobart
Phoebe is looking around for someone and says "Hello? Hello? Could somebody please answer me? I really need to talk to someone." There is a beep and the sound of a door open "Ok how about a snack? Maybe some crackers, peanuts? Something." someone walks by and slides some goo under the thing "A tray full of goo? Hey wait a minute…" she runs to the glass but gets shocked "Don't I even get a phone call?"
The guard guy says "Shut up witch." and you hear the beep and the door close again
Buckland's
Prue and Piper and Michael are getting out of her jeep and start walking "I can't believe you get a limo and a driver, and I've still got my same old car." Piper says
Prue says "You have a husband, remember."
Piper says to her right away "Had a husband, I'm getting divorced, remember. And how do you know you don't have a guy in this time? It could be Andy for all we know. I mean, he didn't sound like you two were divorced or anything? All we know, I have an Ex and a kid. You have one with Andy but you could have several more somewhere."
Prue asks her "Ex's?"
"No, I meant kids but maybe that too. I mean, we're in the future but with no memory of the past ten years I don't even know who my ex-husband is." Piper gets distracted by someone about to fall and freezes everything
Prue says to her "Okay, apparently, mine and Michael's powers aren't the only ones that have grown you just froze…"
Piper finishes her sentence "Everything, What a difference a decade makes."
"What the hell are you doing?" Leo asks walking towards them
"Leo I'm so glad to see you I have so many…" she walks to hug him but he refuses to hug her "Uh, What's wrong?"
Leo says "I know you'd do something stupid like this. You use magic in public? What's the matter with you. Are you insane?"
Piper looks confused and says "Uh, Leo," but gets cut off by Prue saying to her "Remember he thinks we know what's going on?"
Leo continues to say "You wanna end up like your sister? Huh? We had an agreement no magic for Melinda's sake."
Piper's eyes widen "Melinda?" she asks
Leo says "Our daughter, what's wrong with you?"
Piper is still shocked "Our daughter?"
Prue says "Wait a second you're Piper's ex?"
Leo looks at them then a woman comes out seeing the frozen scene and screams "Witch!"
Prue and Piper panic "Okay what's going on here?"
Michael sees the turn in witches sign "Guys." they see it too
Leo says "Alright, hurry, we gotta get out of here before they see you."
Piper says "They?"
Leo says to them "The witch hunters."
They join hands and Leo orbs them out.
Hobart
There is a loud beep and the sound of a door open. Phoebe's head shoots up "Prue? Piper? Mikey?"
Nathanial Pratt stands there and says "They haven't been to see you before why would they come now? They're gonna be as happy to get rid of you as I am." She looks at him and he says "I'm sorry it's been a while since our last visit executions are a bitch to plan logistics alerting the media gathering the kindling."
Phoebe is thinking of an excuse to cover up her actions "Uh, you know, I've had a lot of time to do some thinking about… why I am here…"
He says to her "Well, no amount of thinking will change the outcome. Justice will be served for your crime."
She says "But it really wasn't a big crime was it?"
He laughs a little "You are truly evil. What bigger crime is there than taking a man's life?"
She is suddenly heart broken and walks backwards sitting in the chair "I killed someone?"
"Oh Phoebe, What is this? An attempt to stay your execution, plead insanity? It won't work you have five hours to live tick tock." Pratt says.
She runs out of the chair "What? Five hours?" she stops at the window remembering it will shock her "But that is not possible,"
He turns and says "Well, I'm happy to see the seriousness of your crime has finally hit you, see you represent everything I abhor, you're a threat, a danger to everything that is good, and pure in our world."
Phoebe interrupts him "You're talking out of fear, just because you don't understand something, doesn't make it evil."
He interrupts her "No, you don't understand. You killed a man using you powers now you're going to die because of it. I only wish I could burn all of your kind with you, but don't worry in time I will this is only the beginning." he walks away and leaves
Abandoned place
Prue, Piper, Michael and Leo are walking up some stairs Prue is trying to convince him that there from the past "Leo, listen to me. The three of us, the Prue, Piper and Michael you see before you, are from the past, from ten years ago."
Piper says finishing Prue's sentence "So we have no idea what's going on."
Leo says putting his hands to his head "Don't even lie to me all right, Phoebe is set to die today and I only hope this madness dies with her. All right these people are in danger because of the witch trials she started."
Prue asks him in a challenging way "How, How did she start them?"
Leo looks at them and says "You know, I don't know what you hope to accomplish by pretending not to know…" Piper kisses him to prove she is from the past. Leo says "You haven't kissed me like that since…"
Piper interrupts him and says "Since this morning 1999, remember? We were supposed to meet, you had to leave, I went up to the attic, and this is where I came, the future. And if you don't believe me at least believe what you feel trust that." she says looking at him seriously.
Michael says "Leo?" as if something were wrong "Leo, you have to tell us,"
Leo says "I remember…that was the day they sent me up to the attic to open the Book of Shadows, the future spell."
Prue says quickly "Wait, that was you? We just assumed it was Grams."
He says to her "No, it was me they didn't tell me why. Wait, you don't know what's happened the last ten years? Any of it?" they nod
"These people…they're here underground because they've been accused of practicing witchcraft." Leo explains
Prue asks him "There witches?"
He answers her question "Some of them, most of them have been falsely accused but there safe here for now?"
Michael asks "What did Phoebe do, though?"
Leo says to him "6 months ago, she killed a man, Cal Greene."
Piper says "The baseball player?"
Prue says "This is crazy Phoebe would never hurt anyone."
Leo says to Prue "She hurt him, because he murdered someone, someone Phoebe cared about very much, a dear friend who he brutalized, but a technicality set him free Phoebe was furious out raged and that's when she crossed the line from protecting the innocent to punishing the guilty. She used her power to kill Greene, got caught, and her magic exposed by Nathanial Pratt."
Piper says curiously "And this is the result, Modern day witch trials with Pratt at the helm?"
Prue cuts her off "And Phoebe at the stake, I don't buy it, her power can't kill."
Leo says to her "Well, it can now. It's been ten years all your powers have grown."
Piper looks at Michael and Prue "We have to get to Phoebe and explain."
Leo says "Uh, you can't as it stands you, Prue and Michael are safe. Pratt checked you out and he doesn't suspect that your witches. To get to Phoebe you'd have to use your powers and they'll catch you then they'll kill you."
"Fine then I will shimmer to my apartment see if my roommate will help us,"
"No you can't, okay. They will kill him too if he gets involved," He smiles at Michael and then says "He's you're best friend."
Piper says "Leo, she's our sister we're not gonna let her die."
They start to walk off and Leo hears a call and says "Wait I'll go."
Prue turns around annoyed "Leo, this is our sister we have to."
Leo says "No, I'm still your guide; I can orb in and keep you out of danger."
Piper says "Fine, then, we'll go back to Bucklands and get the book and get the spell to send us home."
Prue tells him "We'll meet you at the Manor."
Piper stays and asks Leo "Leo, um, we got married?"
Prue and Michael at the same time say "Piper, later."
Prue finishes "There will be plenty of time later." they walk off and he laughs a little.
Buckland's
Prue, Piper and Michael walk out of the elevator and people surround them and Prue's assistant yells "People. Give the woman some air, she will meet with all of you after lunch, thank you." and pushes her to her office "Okay good news first. The acquisition paperwork was approved and…" she is cut off by the door opening and Piper and Michael walk in "Yes?"
"We're with her" Piper says while Michael closes the door
The assistant looks at Prue. Prue says "Its Piper and Michael my brother and sister."
"Oh right, sorry I almost forgot you had another one other than…" Ann says
Piper says to her "That's alright we forgot your name too."
She smiles and says "Ann. Mrs. Trudeau's Personal assistant."
Prue looks at Piper and says "Mrs. Trudeau?" I'm still married to Andy?! She exclaims in her head.
"Ow," Michael says grabbing his head "Apparently,"
Ann looks at Michael weirdly and says "Mm-hmm."
Michael says calms down and says "Ann, right, uh, do you know if my girlfriend called here by any chance?"
She laughs and says "Girlfriend, good one, very funny like you have the time after your last one and with your detective skills. Ok I just need your final ok on this acquisition." she turns to Piper and Michael "Your sister was amazing, I mean, at first the board was a little resistant with what the layoffs it would entail but Prue pushed it through."
Prue looks at her seriously and says "I did?"
Ann continues "I thought that the 'to hell with the little people' part was particularly persuasive."
Prue "Okay Ann, Sweetie, I really need some private time with my brother and sister so if I could just you know?"
Ann says "Oh no, problem just buzz Me." before Prue slams the door in her face
Prue says "Look at me, I am booked with work, I am about to layoff countless people with the flick of my pen."
Piper says "Maybe you're just picky like Michael." with a smile
Michael says to her "I heard that."
Prue says "What's happened to us? Ok we can dwell on the nightmare our lives will become, but we have work to do. At least some thing's around here haven't changed." she takes the picture off the wall revealing the safe and puts the key in and opening it grabbing the book.
Piper says "Okay, it should be after the demon with the tusks and before the spell to discourage a lover." they open the book to see the spell is not their "Where is it? It was here in 1999,"
Prue says "Yeah, and now it's gone so if the spell can only be used once, that must mean our future selves have already used it which means."
Piper slams the book shut and says "We have no way of getting home?!"
Hobart
Phoebe is sitting on a chair and Leo orbs in behind her "Leo, oh, thank god. Look, I know what they think I did, and if we just…"
Leo is telling her to be quiet "Shh, they'll hear you."
Phoebe looks around and says "Where's the rest of the Calvary?"
He takes a deep breath and says "They're not coming."
Phoebe says "So what, you'll grab me and we'll just orb out or whatever, and we'll meet them back at the…"
He shakes his head "Phoebe, uh, I'm so sorry."
She looks confused and says "For what? Did something happen to my sisters?"
He says "Nobody's going to rescue you."
She laughs a little and says "If that is some kind of white-lighter humor, let me be the first to tell you, you are not a very funny race of people."
He looks down and says "You know, I wish you remembered what you've done, it'd make this so much easier, your future self-used witchcraft for vengeance Phoebe, Pratt is using that as a platform."
She asks Leo "Why does everyone think I killed somebody? I wouldn't, I mean I couldn't. What did I do, premonition the man to death? My power is passive."
Leo explains to her "Not in the future, it's grown, it's changed, as have you. Which means, unfortunately you have to suffer the consequences."
She shakes her head and says "No, I don't believe it."
Leo says "Then believe what you see." He pulls out a picture of Cal Greene on a newspaper and hands it to her.
Premonition
Phoebe sneaks up behind Greene and electrocutes him while levitating and drops him
End of premonition
Phoebe says "Oh my god, what have I done?" Leo orbs out and Phoebe screams "Help me!"
Commercial Break
Manor
Prue, Piper and Michael are there looking at the Book "Wanna tell me again exactly how screwed we are?" Piper asks Prue
Prue tells her "Pretty screwed."
Piper rolls her eyes and says "Thanks. I wonder what's taking Leo so long."
Michael asks Prue "Why are some of these pages marked?" she is flipping through them.
Prue tells him "I don't know and the top corners are turned down and all of them are new spells."
Piper wonders and says "Such as?"
Prue says "Well, like here's one to create a door, one to induce slumber, glamour, to change ones appearance." she hands Michael a bag thing "Some of them have those little baggies attached."
Michael sits down and Piper walks over to look at the baggie "Those must be potions of some kind." Michael moves to the book and says "But what about these? There's a spell to create money, to bend someone's will, to erase a memory, a binding spell. These were not here before." Michael explains and Piper is about to say something but Michael continues "I study the book every night and every morning before school and these were not there."
Piper looks down at the page and says "Binding? What are all of these marked for?"
Prue answers Pipers question "This was our future selves plan. Here's a prison map we were gonna use all of these to break Phoebe out." Piper grabs the map "But something is bothering me, I mean, clearly some of these spells are for personal gain,"
Michael says "But that would be breaking one of the major Wiccan rules we wouldn't do that."
Prue looks at Piper and says "We wouldn't, but maybe in ten years our future selves would for Phoebe."
The door opens and closes and Leo walks in and Piper say "Perfect timing. We found the book but we can't… where's Phoebe?"
Prue asks "Where is she?" Prue and Michael go to stand beside Piper.
Leo looks at the three of them and says "In prison where she belongs."
Prue looks frustrated "Leo, you were supposed to bring her back here."
Leo says "No, I said I'd go to her and I did, to explain to her why she has to pay for her crime."
Andy walks in the Manor as they are arguing and stands beside Leo. "Prue, I can't get Phoebe out, I tried."
Piper looks at Leo "You're our guide. You're supposed to protect us and you're just going to let her die?"
Prue says right after Piper "You're signing her death warrant."
Leo says to them "I'm trying to protect the greater good. Alright, if Phoebe lives, if you use your magic to save her, then the persecutions will continue, and our daughter will grow into a world where her power is punishable by death. Do you want that?"
Piper looks at him and says "Of course not."
He finishes "Then it has to end with Phoebe, she has to die."
Both Prue and Michael give him a stare and Prue says "Like hell."
Piper freezes Leo and Andy and says "Prue, Michael. I've seen what your new powers can do when you're angry." Michael looks at Andy and sees he has a key in his hands he starts to walk to Andy. "What is it Mikey?" Piper says noticing what he is looking at.
Michael grabs the key and says "It looks like a cell key." he looks at Andy "I think he knew we were going to break Phoebe out."
"Of course, he knew. He, unlike him…" Prue jabs a harsh finger in Leo's direction. "… actually understands," Prue snaps, still fuming as she swipes the key from Michael.
Prue and Piper and Michael go to the couch "He's going to stay frozen right?" Prue asks seriously.
"If he knows what's good for him he'll stay frozen." she says to her
Prue says "All right let's get these spells."
Hobart
Pratt is on the TV talking "Now some people say this is a victory for me but I say it is a victory for all for today a blight on everything that is good in our world will be extinguished tonight the witch will burn."
Phoebe is on the floor when she sees a glowing shimmer in front of her and is surprised to see Michael standing there before her "Mikey?"
Michael says "Yes it's me," he runs to the glass and looks for the lock
"Mikey don't." Michael runs to the glass and is electrocuted. He tries again this time running to the glass only to be electrocuted and flown back against the wall.
"Ow, what was that?" he says shimmering to the other side.
Phoebe goes to the glass and tries to get close without getting zapped "Mikey, what are you doing?" she sees him with a key.
"It fits." he says with a big smile on his face "Oh yeah, I have to tell you Prue and Piper are on their way they just have to stop at Leo's house for a second."
Leo's house
Prue and Piper are at Leo's house and are sitting in the car "Piper, if your gonna do this you better hurry Leo and Andy could unfreeze and be here any second, besides Phoebe has less than an hour and I don't think Michael can stall for very long." Prue says and Piper hands the other spells to her.
Piper gets out of the jeep and walks to the house and looks in the window Melinda is playing tea party with her dolls. Leo orbs in behind Piper and says "Can't do it, can you?"
Piper says with tears in her eyes "No, Our grandmother did it to us, for protection"
Leo says to her "You don't have to bind her powers, Piper. We agreed that I'd take care of her, and I will I promise."
Piper nods and says "I know you will, so we were together does that mean you clipped your wings for me?"
"No, you wouldn't let me we, uh" Leo says and pauses "Tried to make it work with our powers but it didn't and then this happened."
Piper asks him "Were we happy? Just for a little while were we happy?"
Leo answers her "Very, just like Prue and Andy were and still are."
Piper smiles and says "Are you gonna try and stop us?"
Leo looks at her and says "I can't do that."
Piper finishes "Then, I hope you understand why I have to do what I'm doing." he nods "What are we going to do?" she asks him one last question.
"What we always do." he says looking around
Piper realizes what he is talking about "Talk about it later." she goes back to the jeep and gets in and looks at Prue "What is it? What's wrong?"
Prue says "I feel bad for Michael, he has no one to say good bye to, I mean, I know he has this thing for Jenny but if she is not here, then he doesn't have anybody except us. I feel he needs someone other than us and Andy to be around, they didn't even know who you or Michael were at the office my own brother and sister. If we die tonight Michael's tombstone will read: Here lies a demon beware. And mine will read: Here lies Prue Halliwell she worked hard."
Piper says "We're not going to die, we're going to find a way back to the present and we'll create a new future."
Prue looks at her and says "What if we can't? What if we can never get home? According to Phoebe's Premonition we fail."
Piper says "Our future selves fail; we've still got a shot."
Prue nods in agreement and says "You're right" While putting on her seatbelt "Let's go get Phoebe and Mikey." she starts the engine and drives off.
Hobart
Prue and Piper are running to the back "So far so good." Prue says
Piper walking with Prue says "Don't people normally break out of prison?"
Prue says "Nothing about this is normal." they come to a big wall.
Piper says "To create a door…okay but where?"
Prue tells her looking at the wall "No place like here."
"Ok." Piper says running her finger on the wall making a door shape.
Prue says "Kinda small for us don't you think? 'When you find your path is blocked all you have to do is knock'" Piper knocks twice and the wall creates a magical door letting them in as soon as they're in the wall closes.
Michael and Phoebe hear someone coming and they see a guard "No." he yells throwing an energy ball at the guard but misses and hits the electric window forming a powerful blast and he is thrown onto the wall and onto the floor, the guard goes in and grabs Phoebe.
Piper and Prue are walking and a guard catches them "Freeze!" he yells pointing his gun at them
Piper says "Good idea." she throws out her hands freezing the guard
"All right, um, her cell should be up those stairs come on." they walk up the stairs "She'll be guarded are you ready for this?"
Piper says "Do we have a choice?"
They run to her cell but before they reach it they hear Michael "Ow."
Piper says "Is that Mikey?"
Prue says running to the cell "Come on." they run to it and Michael has a wound on his back "Mikey shimmer out here."
He shimmers out to them and they ask him "Where's Phoebe?"
"The guards came I tried to stop them." Michael explains only half conscious
"How?" Prue demands and looks at him wide eyed "You didn't try to use your demonic powers did you?"
Michael says "Yes but they were going to grab me and Phoebe" they grab him and walk on
Phoebe walks with chains and sees the guards take her to the room with the stake
Commercial break
Hobart
A guard is putting Phoebe on the stake Pratt walks up to her and says "I love the smell of burnt witch in the morning."
Phoebe Says "At least I'm paying for my crime there'll come a day when you'll have to pay for yours too."
He looks at her and says "Remorseless to the end, huh?" he walks away and begins to talk to the news people "Let today be a lesson to all those who would seek to defy human nature with there way of life let today serve notice that black magic will not be tolerated in our society and let today be remembered as the day we burned the witch." he points to the man controlling the fire and he pushes buttons.
Prue and Piper walk in with Michael in between them still half conscious "Piper freeze them." Piper does so and everyone freezes, Michael being only half conscious froze too
Prue touches Michael and he unfreezes and Phoebe says "Prue, Piper, Mikey your okay."
Michael says "Barely." as Prue puts him on his feet and Piper runs to unlock Phoebe
Piper says "Come on we're getting you out of here."
Phoebe resists and says "No wait you can't." Prue looks at her with a serious face "Prue, I'm serious."
Prue says "What are you talking about?"
Phoebe says balancing herself "You guys have to leave, I deserve to be here or my future self does."
Piper says to her "But you killed a killer, don't be ridiculous."
Prue says to her "Look, this is Pratt's personal crusade, this isn't about us, it's about him, where ever we will go he will follow us, he will hunt us, he will hunt our families, if anybody should be punished it should be him." she looks at her hand
Phoebe asks her "Prue, what are you doing?"
Prue says "Saving the future of good witches and our future."
Phoebe grabs Prue's hand and says "Prue, wait don't. Don't become a murderer to it has to end with me."
Piper says "Phoebe, he was evil. He deserved what you…"
Phoebe interrupts her "The wrong thing done for the right reason is still the wrong thing. Our job is to protect the innocent not punish the guilty, and I crossed that line and I know that, and now you guys have to know that too."
Prue shakes he head and Michael regains a little more consciousness Prue says to Phoebe "We are not leaving here without you."
Phoebe grabs the hands of her sisters and Michael "Prue, we were sent here for a reason, maybe not to stop this like what we thought, but maybe to understand why this has to happen, why you have to let this happen. I don't want to die, but I don't want you to die because of Me." they hug her and she kisses her sisters necks "I love you."
Phoebe steps back on the thing and everything unfreezes and the fire is starting and Phoebe screams While Prue, Piper, and Michael are there hugging each other until a guard grabs Michael but before he could do anything the sisters and Michael were surrounded by white orbs and then gone
Manor
Michael, Prue and Piper return to there time in the Manor in white orbs Piper is the first to realize "Prue." Prue looks up from Pipers shoulder
Prue is covered in tears and asks "What are we doing here?"
"Phoebe, Michael!" Piper calls Michael walks in and Phoebe is still not with them yet "Hey, you don't think she was…I mean we saw…"
Prue puts her hand on Pipers and says "I know, I know, oh please god don't let it be true. Phoebe!" Phoebe walks in the room and hugs her sisters "Oh, we'd that that we lost you."
Phoebe says "You did, I was burning and I could uh, feel the flames on my skin and then I was here I don't know what happened."
Prue says "Its okay your safe now, your home."
Piper says "Yeah, home, but when?" she turns on the TV
The news guy is talking about Cal Greene making another grand slam of the year Phoebe notices that they are back in their own time "Wait that's the baseball player, that's what triggered my premonition we're back where we started the day we cast the spell."
Piper asks "Why?"
Prue says "Maybe because it worked. Maybe we were sent into the future to find out what Phoebe did and maybe we came back to stop it from happening."
Michael says "Wait, I thought we didn't have a spell to come back."
Piper nods in agreement and says "We didn't cast a spell to come back we didn't even have one."
Phoebe says "Maybe they sent us back."
Piper asks "But who? And why today? If we were sent back to keep the future from happening, shouldn't we have been sent back to the day Phoebe killed Cal Greene instead?"
They hear a dog bark and they all run to the window Prue says "Not again."
They open the window and Piper says "This guy still hasn't learned his lesson." she freezes him
Phoebe says "Apparently, neither have we. I think this is why we were sent back here, to this moment in time, this is where it all started the first time we used our magic for revenge."
Piper looks out the window and says to Phoebe "But it's just a little thing it's harmless."
Phoebe tells her "Yeah, but once you break the small rules; it's only a matter of time before the big ones are next."
Prue looks at her and says "A very smart girl once told me that we're supposed to protect the innocent not punish the guilty."
Phoebe says "I haven't told you yet."
Piper says "Now maybe you won't have to."
Michael says "So are you still mad that I used my power in the future to try and save Phoebe?"
Prue says "No, I was, but I know you were only trying to help hey speaking of powers have you told Jenny about us and you yet?"
Michael says "Not yet, I've been busy you know with school and demons I'll do it I promise."
Prue looks out the window "Pratt." Piper unfreezes him and his dog he turns around and sees all four of them standing at the window watching him
Piper asks "Do you think we should follow?"
Phoebe says "No, our little act of revenge might have been what sent Pratt on his path to seek his own."
Prue finishes her sentence "Which may have led him to start the future witch trials."
Phoebe continues "Hopefully, now he won't."
Piper says "I still think we should keep an eye on him, just in case."
Prue agrees and says "Absolutely" she goes to the small table beside Phoebe
Phoebe says "Hey, what's up?"
Prue says "Not work and Not school there is no way Michael and I are going to the office or school tonight we're going out with you guys, we all have a lot of changes to make if we want to avoid where we just came from. Oh, wait, I've so gotta call Andy."
"Ah, the future wasn't all that bad, you were like miss fortune 500 and I had a beautiful little girl." Piper says
Phoebe says in shock "What?"
Piper turns to her "Yeah, Prue too. Details later." She says
Prue says "You know, we can still make the good things happen, Piper. We just have to make the right choices."
Piper says "So maybe Leo and I will end up together."
Phoebe is confused and says "Wait you and Leo?" door bell rings
"Speak of the angel, I'll get it" Piper says going to answer the door "Hey stranger" she pulls him in and kisses him
Leo says "I would have settled for a nice hello."
Piper says "Didn't anybody ever tell you not to settle?"
Leo says "It's a good lesson."
Piper nods and says "I've been learning a lot of them lately."
Leo says "So I heard, look honestly, I didn't know you were gonna be sent to the future I don't even know what happened when you got there all I was told is that apparently you had something to learn."
Piper says "So that's why you're here?"
Leo says "No, that's why you're here you four were given a glimpse of your future to learn a valuable lesson and I'm glad you learned it too because I know they wouldn't have brought you back if you hadn't speaking of which they're making me work tonight so I cant really…"
Piper says "This is always going to be a problem for us isn't it?"
Leo says "I'm willing to work on it."
Piper says "Good don't ever forget you said that." they kiss again
