Forever Charmed
Episode 1x10: The Parent Trap
Paige (voce over): Previously on Forever Charmed, we summoned William from the future to see if he would ever join the family. To our immense pleasure, he does; however, he refused to help us locate Leo, Henry, and Coop. Phoebe's house is still occupied by Cole, so Phoebe and her children have moved in with Billie. We are planning on attacking William and Cole in order to save our husbands from what William may have in store for them.
Show front of the Manor.
Int. Manor – Attic.
Scene: Phoebe is sitting in a chair with a notebook. Piper and Paige are sitting on the couch. Wyatt, Chris, and Prudence are gathered around the room. Junior is at the Book of Shadows.
Piper: Alright, we need to make a plan. I don't want to go in unprepared.
Phoebe: I check city hall and got the blueprints to Cole's office, but it's obvious that it has been altered since these were made.
Paige: It's better than having no clue at all.
Piper (to Phoebe): That's true.
Prudence: I've astral projected into our house. Cole's redecorating – a lot.
Chris: So we have two fronts to fight on.
Junior (to Chris): Yeah, but if we divide into two teams, we can stand a chance.
Phoebe (looks at Piper): There's a thought, but we'd need more help.
Wyatt (to Piper): What about Billie?
Piper: She'll help, so that makes eight.
Phoebe (to Piper): What if we asked –
Paige has a scowl on her face and interrupts the sentence.
Paige: Don't even think about it.
Piper (trying to ease the tension): How about this. Prue doesn't have to be on whichever team Paige is on.
Phoebe: I'll go with Prue. We can fight Cole with Prudence.
Piper: That means you only have one vanquisher.
Paige (icily): No, Prue has a new power – something to do with ice.
Phoebe: Cryokinesis.
Paige (rolling her eyes): Whatever.
Piper: So it's settled. We'll fight William and Cole's demon army while Phoebe, Prue, and Prudence fight Cole.
Paige: I can live with that. What are we going to do with the other kids though?
Phoebe: I vote we send them to magic school.
Chris: So, who's ready to face the underworld and its leaders?
The others laugh.
Show Intro.
Show skyline of San Francisco.
Music: It's Lonely Out There by Pam Tillis.
Show front of Billy's apartment.
Patty and Penny are watching TV while Billie types on a laptop. The doorbell rings. Billy gets up and opens it, revealing a man in his 20's.
Jason: Uh, hi, I'm Jason, your next door neighbor.
Billie (smiling): Hi, I'm Billie. It's nice to meet you.
Jason: Nice to meet you too. Um, would you like to get coffee sometime?
Billie (shyly): I'd like that. Unfortunately I can't right now. I'm on babysitting duty.
Jason peers in and sees Patty and Penny who are looking at them, interested.
Patty flicks her hands, and Jason freezes.
Patty: Be sure to mention that we're not your kids.
Billie whirls around to look at her.
Billie: Why? Do you think that he thinks you are?
Patty (shrugs her shoulders): I don't know, but it couldn't hurt. Do you want me to suggest that I can take care of Penny?
Penny (eagerly): We don't mind if you leave us for a while.
Billie (smiles): Sure, that would be great.
She gets back into position and Patty unfreezes Jason, who looks at the two children.
Billie (quickly): They aren't mine.
Jason looks relieved, and Billie laughs a bit.
Patty: Billie, if you want to go out for a while, I can watch Penny.
Billie turns around and flashes her a smile, then she turns back to Jason
Billie: A quick coffee sounds good.
She reaches inside and grabs her purse. Then she shuts the door behind her.
Scene Fades.
Show front of Cole's office.
William is regarding the sphere with great interest. Inside shows his aunts, Wyatt, Chris, Prudence, Junior, and Piper in the attic.
Barbas simmers in.
Barbas: William, I have good news.
William looks up.
William: The news is…
Barbas: The other witch's greatest fear is having to fight her sister again.
William looks thoughtful.
William: Interesting. I might need to gather a few high power demons and perform another resurrection.
Barbas: I was thinking it the same thing. Is there any news of an attack?
William: Yes, there will be one tonight. Cole will need to be warned, because they plan to attack on two fronts.
Barbas: How can I help?
William stands up and begins pacing.
William: There will be six of them attacking the building and an army of demons inside it. All I need you to do is to stay hidden and possibly distract them a little.
Barbas (nods): I assume we're still keeping my involvement a secret.
William: For as long as possible. I don't know how long it'll stay a secret with Prue talking to them again, but I'd like as many surprises as possible.
Barbas nods again and shimmers out. William sneers and walks into the hallway leading to the prison room.
Int. Prison room.
Leo, Coop, and Henry are sitting in their cages when Barbas's astral projection appears.
William enters.
Barbas (to William): Ask them if they're ready to confess.
William: Are you ready to confess?
Henry, Coop and Leo don't answer. They look tired and like they haven't eaten in a while.
Barbas (to William): Maybe they need a good jolt to help them answer.
William grasps hold of the bars of Leo's cage and sends electricity coursing through it, and in turn Leo. Leo spasms a bit, but doesn't say anything.
William shakes his head and leaves.
Barbas laughs and then his astral projection leaves.
Leo (softly to Coop and Henry): This has to stop.
Coop: How long until it happens? Henry: I don't know, but it has to be soon.
Leo: I'm almost looking forward to it.
Henry: I'm not.
Coop: Well unless they hurry, we won't have a choice.
Scene fades.
End Act 1
Int. Manor – Attic
Phoebe and Prue are gathered around a bowl, mixing vanquishing potions.
Prue: So where's mini me?
Phoebe (laughs): She's off with her boyfriend.
Prue (drops some ingredients in the pot): Aw, how sweet. She's 16, right?
Phoebe (stirring): Yep, and she's already had more luck in the dating department than you did.
Prue (laughs): That's very impressive, considering I was head cheerleader.
Phoebe: Well, Coop says that this is the guy she's supposed to be with, so, I'm hoping she stays with him.
Prue (looks at Phoebe, confused): How would your husband know that they're supposed to be together?
Phoebe: Coop is a retired cupid, so he can sense these things.
Prue: Ah, so that explains it. It's actually not surprising that you got on so well with a cupid, considering the first one you met…
Phoebe (smiles, thinking back): Yeah, he was sweet, wasn't he? So, did you meet anyone interesting in the afterlife?
Prue: No, I didn't.
Phoebe looks at her intrigued.
Phoebe: Really, how come?
Prue: I wasn't really in the afterlife. The elders said that my time on Earth wasn't over; I was just needed to watch out for William. The only people that I ever saw were Grams, Mom, and Dad when we traveled into the future.
Phoebe: Well that sucks. I mean, it must have been nice seeing Mom and Grams, and Dad too, but I'd have wanted to go out and explore some.
Prue: Yeah, well, I'm just glad I'm here now. It beats being dead any day.
Piper enters.
Piper: It's almost time to go.
Phoebe: We're almost done.
Prue (to Piper): So I'm assuming that Paige isn't going with me and Phoebe?
Piper (slowly): No, she's going with my group because she wants to make sure that her son will be okay.
Prue (smiles knowingly): Piper, you don't need to spare my feelings. I know that Paige does not like me.
Phoebe hugs Prue.
Phoebe: She'll get over it… eventually.
Piper: Yes well, the fate of our husbands can't wait any longer. Let's go.
Int. Hallway.
Piper, Pure, and Phoebe walk down stairs and into the crowded living room. Paige, Junior, Chris, Wyatt, Prudence, and Billie are waiting.
Piper: Okay, we're all here so let's go.
Paige (mutters): Finally.
Prue, Phoebe, and Prudence gather together on one side of the room and join hands. Paige avoids looking at Prue.
Phoebe: Wish us luck.
She channels Paige's orbing and orbs them to the house.
Exit Manor.
Int. Phoebe's house – living room.
The living room is dark, and only the silhouettes of the three girls can be seen.
Phoebe (whispers to Prudence): Turn on the lights.
Prudence waves her hand and the lights come on. Camera zooms out revealing many demons that are surrounding them.
Cole enters.
Cole: Oh good, we were wondering how long we'd have to wait for you to show up.
Phoebe (exasperated): Cole, get out of my house before I have to vanquish you.
Cole: Actually, it's my house now. All the legal documents say so.
He walks forward.
Cole (to Prue): Prue, after all we've been through you've turned on William and me?
Prue (nonchalantly, to Cole): No, I'm just turning on you.
Prudence is looking intently at the athames on many of the demon's belts. Camera pants to show the knives rising out of their belts or pockets.
Camera pans back to the three witches.
Phoebe (to Cole): I'll give you one last chance to leave before we vanquish every demon or warlock in the room.
The knives that Prudence had been levitating plunge into the chests of their owners, and then the demons burst into flames.
Cole conjures an energy ball and tosses it at Phoebe who jumps above it and then kicks him.
Camera then shows Prue freezing demons with her cryokinesis and shattering them with her telekinesis.
Camera pans upward and into the lights on the ceiling.
Exit Phoebe's house.
Ext. Cole's office.
The camera pans downward from a light that is overhead revealing Piper, Paige, Billie, Chris, Wyatt, and Junior standing in front of the building.
Wyatt (looking up): William's probably guarding Dad, Uncle Henry, and Uncle Coop.
Paige: Which means that he's probably in Cole's office or in that cavern leading from the vending machine.
Piper (looking at the top of the building): I don't suppose we could just orb up there.
Paige (looking up): Well, there's only one way to find out.
She turns to look at Wyatt.
Paige (sweetly): Wyatt, why don't you orb up there?
Wyatt (looks at her in horror): Uh, do I have to?
Everyone else (together): Yes!
Wyatt (grumbling): Fine.
He disappears in a cloud of orbs and tries to get into the room, but is sent back down to the ground. Wyatt: We can't get in that way.
Piper: Then we blast our way in.
She waves her hands and the doors explode.
They walk in and it is quiet.
Chris (whispers): Be sure to turn the cameras away, and watch out for alarms.
They move a few more steps forward before setting off an alarm.
Demons begin pouring in from the stairs and various rooms.
Paige (shouting): Wy! Force field!
Wyatt puts up his shield as Piper starts blasting demons and Paige starts orbing fireballs and energy balls back at demons.
Chris (to Wyatt): I'm going to try to orb up to William.
Wyatt (looks at him, confused): Why? William isn't going to listen to you. He's evil now. He allied himself with the source of all evil and kidnapped our father and uncles. Why would you even try talking to him?
Chris (desperately): Because he's our brother Wy. You should see that. I know that there's some good in him otherwise he wouldn't have been able to heal me in the underworld.
Wyatt (looks towards the battle raging in front of them): Fine. But we'll be up there soon.
Chris starts to orb, but Wyatt pulls him back.
Wyatt (smiling slightly): Good luck.
Chris nods, and then orbs away.
Show outside of Cole's office building and move up to the top floor where Cole's office is.
Int. Cole's Office.
William is waiting for the fight to move its way upstairs. He is looking into the sphere, which shows Junior throwing vanquishing potions at various demons.
William (laughs): They won't last too long.
Then he picks up a phone from the desk and dials a number.
William (speaking into the phone): Victor, make sure that the experimental and horsemen wings are blocked off from intruders.
End Act 2
Int. Magic School – Classroom.
Melinda, Patrick, Patty, Penny, Corey, Charlie, and Adam are standing around a room. They all look anxious.
Melinda (frustrated): Does anyone else want to know what's going on?
Patty (sarcastically): No, not really. I enjoy being left in the dark while my mother, aunts, sister, and cousins fight all sorts of evil.
Melinda: Well then, I have a spell that should work.
Adam (rolls his eyes): This should be good.
Melinda glares at her twin and then stands in front of the mirror on the wall. Patty and Penny walk over to her.
Melinda (clearly): Magic mirror in my sight
Show us all our family's fight
Patty and Penny join in.
Melinda, Patty, & Penny: Magic mirror in my sight
Show us all our family's fight
The mirror shots the fight in Phoebe's house.
Camera zooms in to the mirror.
Int. Phoebe's house – living room.
There are only 6 demons and Cole left. Phoebe is facing Cole while Prue and Prudence take on the remaining five.
Prue freezes two demons and shatters them.
Cole: Give up Phoebe. You can't vanquish me.
Phoebe conjures an energy ball and tosses it at Cole.
Cole: I'm the source Phoebe, and your source vanquishing spell can't kill me this time.
Phoebe: Maybe not, but I can weaken you.
Prudence and Prue vanquish the last three demons and then run up to Phoebe. Prue waves her hand and telekinetically tosses Cole back.
Phoebe turns to her sister and her daughter.
Phoebe: I'm going to say the source vanquishing spell. I'll need you two to help me out with it.
They join hands. Cole tries to get up, but Prue tosses him into a wall.
Phoebe: Penelope, Patricia, Melinda Warren,
Astrid, Helena, Laura and Grace,
Halliwell witches stand strong beside us!
Vanquish this evil from time and space!
A fierce wind blows throughout the house and Cole screams in pain. After a few seconds, he flames out. The room undergoes a visible change, returning to how it was before Cole moved in.
Phoebe, Prue, and Prudence collapse on various chairs, exhausted.
Prue: You really need to put protective enchantments on your house.
Phoebe: Oh! You don't want to do this again?
The three witches laugh.
Int. Cole's Office.
Chris orbs in. William is standing on the opposite side of the room, looking out the windows at the night sky.
Chris: Will, I don't want to fight you.
William: Oh good, you learned something from our last encounter.
Chris (urgently): Listen to me Will; you don't have to do this.
Barbas's astral projection appears. It walks over to William.
Barbas: You don't have to do this; you want to do it. Your parents hurt you. Why can't your brother see this?
William (turns to Chris): I don't have to do this. I want to.
Chris (sadly): How can you want to do this? They really care about you.
William (angrily): If they cared about me, they wouldn't have dumped me. And if I was kidnapped as you all insist I was, why couldn't you find me? I was down there for a month?
Barbas's astral projection then walks over to Chris.
Barbas (to Chris): You think that he is crazy for not believing all of you. After all, you tried to explain every thing to him. You feel angry, like you want to attack him. He does have your father held hostage.
Chris (angrily): You know, you're stupid for not believing us.
William (indignantly): Oh, so I'm stupid now?
Chris (stepping forward): Yeah, you are.
He looks at a paperweight on Cole's desk and telekinetically sends it at William's head. William raises his hands and blows it up.
Exit Cole's office
Int. Cole's office building – downstairs.
Piper, Wyatt, and Billie back their way to the elevator, fighting demos as they go. The elevator opens and they back in.
Piper (to Billie): Press the button for the top floor.
Billie presses the button, and the doors slide shut. Elevator music begins playing.
Billie (breathing a relieved sigh): That was close.
She turns around, and sees three demons behind Piper and Wyatt.
Billie (nervously): Um, Piper.
Piper (calmly): I know.
Piper (after a few seconds): So… are you three getting out on our floor?
Demon 1: Yep.
Piper (pretending to be interested): Oh! Where are you headed?
Demon 2: The experimentals lab.
Piper: Okay, does that follow the same path as Cole's office?
Demon 3: Nope.
Billie (nonchalantly): So, what's in the experimentals lab?
Demon 1: Nothing.
Wyatt: Well there's obviously something there or else you wouldn't be going to it.
Demon 2 (unconvincingly): It's new.
The elevator doors open and the demons exit to the left.
Piper (turns to Billie): You follow them. Wyatt and I will go to find Leo, Henry, and Coop.
They split up and Piper and Wyatt walk down the hall. Sounds of fighting can be heard from the other side of Cole's door. Piper blasts the doors leading into Cole's office, revealing William and Chris who are fighting. Wyatt telekinetically rips the bookcase from the wall and hurls it at William, knocking him to the floor.
Piper, Wyatt, and Chris rush down the passageway as William struggles to get the bookcase off of himself.
Int. Cavern.
Leo, Coop, and Henry are sitting, leaning against their cages as Piper, Chris, and Wyatt enters.
Leo (looks up): Piper?
Piper (worried): Oh my god, Leo!
She rushes to the cage, but goes flying back when she tries to touch it.
Leo stands up and stands at the edge of the cage.
Leo (sadly): You can't get us out of here.
Piper (upset): Why not?
Coop: Because Cole also placed enchantments on this cage.
Henry: The only way you'll be able to save us is when he lets up out of these cages.
Piper (upset): When will that be?
Leo: Right before he lets all of the demons of the underworld kill us.
Chris tries telekinetically opening the cages, but it doesn't work.
Chris: We aren't going to let that happen.
Leo: There's a chance, you just have to be there at the right time.
Tears start running down Piper's face as Chris and Wyatt try every trick they know to get the cages open.
Piper: I'll save you, I promise you that.
Leo: I know. I love you Piper.
Piper (crying): I love you too.
William enters the room silently.
William (furiously): Too bad love can't save them.
Hen channels Chris's teleorbing and then cages disappear in a flurry of orbs.
Piper, Chris, and Wyatt glare at William now.
Piper: Bring them back – Now!
William: Sorry, I can't. It's a one way trip for them. But don't worry; they'll go out in a blaze of glory.
From down the passageway, footsteps can be heard running towards the room.
William has an evil grin on his face as he teleports out of the room.
End Act 3
Show front of manor at night.
Int. Attic
Piper and Paige are sitting on the couch. Piper has her head in her hands. Billie is typing up something on her laptop, while Chris and Wyatt flip through the book.
Paige (to Chris and Wyatt): Don't you two have that memorized yet?
Wyatt: Nope.
Chris looks up at the ceiling.
Chris: It would really help us out if we had an idea of what to do.
The book starts flipping on its own.
Chris (looks at Wyatt, grinning): It works every time.
Wyatt (sarcastically): How do you do it?
Chris (joking): Simple; I'm the favorite great grandchild.
The book stops turning and shows the power binding page.
Wyatt (to Piper): What if we bound his powers?
Piper and Paige look at Chris and Wyatt. Billie looks at Piper.
Billie: What are his powers though? I mean, he's got so many of them. How did he get them all in the first place?
Piper (to Billie): Good question.
Paige (looks at the ceiling): Andy!
Andy orbs in.
Andy: What can I do for you?
Piper (looks at Andy): How did William get all of his powers?
Andy: Well, Magic School in the future is different from what it is today. Thos who are in the top of their class and have mastered their powers can choose to learn other powers.
Piper: And I'm assuming he's in the top of his class?
Andy: He was the best in it. Will mastered more powers than any magical being before him.
Paige: Well what are his original powers?
Andy: He has Piper and Phoebe's powers, plus pyrokinesis, but no one knows where that came from.
Chris: The twins have it, so I don't think it's demonic.
Wyatt: What are his other powers?
Andy (counting on his fingers): Telepathy, electrokinesis, teleportation, glamoring, and telekinesis. Actually, there's a reason why he's so hard to beat.
Billie: Besides the arsenal of powers?
Andy: Well, we knew he was descended from Melinda Warren, who mastered the ability to freeze things, have premonitions, and to move things with her mind. William has all three of these abilities, and seeing as he's the son of a charmed one…
Piper: So you're saying that if we bind his extra powers, we should be able to beat him?
Andy: Theoretically, yes.
Wyatt: Here's a question though. Could William, Chris, and I form a power of three?
Andy: I guess it's possible. Three Warren witches with the three powers of Melinda warren split between them. It would work.
Billie: Well, for now, let's focus on binding the extra powers.
Piper (getting up from the couch): Agreed, now let's get some sleep. We'll deal with this in the morning.
Exit Manor.
Int. Cole's Office.
The room is dark, illuminated only by candles. A pentagram is drawn on the floor of the room. A candle is places on each point. And urn is in the middle of the pentagram. Demons wearing hoods are in a circle around the room. Cole, Barbas, and William are on separate points.
Cole and Barbas are chanting something different from the other demons in Latin.
William: Through the combined powers of good and bad magic
We seek to resurrect one whose death was tragic
Bring back the one whose young life was singed
So that she may be allowed her revenge.
All in room: Christy Jenkins!
The urn begins to glow and burn. It begins shaking as it rises into the air. Screams can be heard throughout the air, and fire surrounds the urn. A bright light blinds the room, and when it fades, an angry and confused Christy Jenkins is standing in the middle of the pentagram.
Chris (demanding): What am I doing here?
Cole: We have need of your services.
Christy whirls around to face him.
Christy: What services?
Cole (pleasantly): Oh, only those of you wanting revenge and being part of the ultimate power. We seek to give you a chance to kill those who killed you.
Christy (cautiously): What's the catch?
Barbas: If you fail, you will be killed by them.
Christy considers this and then smiles.
Christy: Anything else?
Cole: You have until the end of this day to do it.
Christy: 24 hours, got it. Is that all?
William steps forward.
William (coldly): One last thing.
Christy faces him, her eyebrows raised.
William quickly reaches out and grabs her arm.
William: If you turn on us, you won't like the consequences.
The length of Christy's arm below where William is holding on turns to ash. Christy stares at it in horror. Then William releases her, and Christy's arm reforms.
William: Got it?
Christy (shakilly0: Got it.
One of the hooded demons steps forward and hands Christy a folder.
Cole: All of the information you'll need is in there.
Christy smiles evilly as she sees Billie's picture.
