9x11: What Evil Mortals Do

Previously on Charmed:

(Flash: Piper and Leo are arguing)

"You're right, maybe I don't understand but you work so much at Magic School that you're practically absent from our lives..."

"That's a bit of an overstatement, don't you think?" Leo says.

"No!" Piper yells, "You worked overtime in the last two days and it's not like you're bringing home a salary that helps benefit our lives in any way." Piper says.

(Flash to Piper and Leo P3 in the daytime.)

"I feel like a freeloader living off of you." Leo says.

"Where is this coming from?" Piper asks.

"Just the guys and I were talking and they raised some good points. I want to feel responsible for my family." Leo says.

"You take care of the boys every time I work." Piper says.

"I know...but I want a job that comes with a paycheck, you know?" Leo says.

(Piper and Leo are P3 in the night)

"How would you feel if I hired you to become the manager of P3?" Piper offers, "Think of it as a second job away from the Magic School thing and you'll be paid for it too."

"I don't know what to say." Leo says with a surprised smile.

"Just say yes and you're ok with it." Piper says.

"Yes." Leo accepts. "Thank you, honey."

They share a kiss.

(A flash leads to the attic where the sisters begin to glow and absorb lights. Paige turns from three Paiges into one. The sisters vanquish various demons.)

"I think we just had a major power boost. All three of us…" Piper says.

"Meaning, there are more powers cooked up inside us that we have no idea what they are? Let's see how powerful the new power of three is..." Paige says.

(Flash to P3 with Billie, Liz and Jerry)

A young man, about 23 years old stands next to Liz.

"Jerry, Billie. Billie, Jerry. Jerry's a witch too." Liz says.

"Nice to meet you, Billie..." Jerry says. Billie stands there, speechless and spellbound by the guy's looks.

(A flash to Billie sitting with the guy in a dark robe)

"A guy in a dark robe gave me a potion to drink. But I didn't know it was a potion until I began to experience with my powers. That potion unlocked my powers and made me meet you guys." Billie explains.

(Paige bumps into the guy in the dark robe at the fair)

"I think all of this made us get one step closer to the truth. I saw who gave you your powers and we will find him." Paige says, "I promise you that."

"Thanks." Billie says as she smiles.

(Flash: Phoebe is kissing Jason.)

"That was Jason. He's back." Phoebe says. Paige and Piper squeal in excitement.

(Phoebe and Jason kiss and Coop flashes in and sees them)

"He came back from Paris to win me back." Phoebe says.

"And when did he come back?" Coop asks.

"A little over a week ago..." Phoebe hesitates.

"A week ago and you couldn't tell me?" Coop says. "Answer me this one question. Do you still love him?"

"Yeah." she whispers. Coop groans and walks away from her.

Phoebe sits in her room, staring at a picture of Coop and a picture of Jason.

"How am I going to do this? Someone, please help me. I need a sign." Phoebe says.

(Flash to: Phoebe is in the attic. She casts a spell and she collapses and her soul rises from her body. Melinda Warren stands next to her, smiling.)

"So you have a problem that needs solving?" Melinda says.

"What do you mean? What are you talking about?" Phoebe asks.

"You asked for help and your spell summoned me. Just not in the way I imagined." Melinda says, gesturing to Phoebe's body on the ground.

"You are torn between two men, who you love greatly but you want to choose one without thinking you made the wrong choice." Melinda says she opens her eyes.

"Yeah..." Phoebe whispers as she begins to choke on her tears.

"No. The true love's name begins with a 'C'. Can you think of anyone else?" Melinda says. Phoebe looks at Melinda, finally accepting the fact of whom she wants to be with.

"He may not be able to offer you the world, Phoebe, but he brings you the simple thing love brings. The thrills that you seek..." Melinda says.

Phoebe nods. They come out of the premonition. Phoebe sighs and looks at Melinda.

(Flash to Phoebe and Coop in her loft)

"Yeah, you said you wanted to talk?" Coop asks.

"Yeah, I'm sorry for everything I have put you through in the last couple of weeks and-"

"Phoebe, I have something to say too." Coop says.

"Me first..." Phoebe says. "I love you, Coop...And I now know that I need you in my life because without your love, I am empty."

"Does this mean that you choose me over Jason?" Coop asks.

"Yeah… "Phoebe says softly.

"Phoebe, I am flattered and all but I have something to say. I know that I was sent here just for you but-"

…but what?" Phoebe asks.

"But I need some time by myself. I look at Piper and Leo and I see that they know almost everything about each other...so does Paige and Henry. I want to get to know you first, without being in a relationship. Just starting with our friendship first." Coop says. "I hope you understand this and honor this wish."

Phoebe looks up and smiles half-heartedly.

"Sure. Yeah. I think it's a good idea." Phoebe says. Coop kisses her on the forehead and steps back.

"I'll see you later?" Coop says.

"Yeah" Phoebe says. Coop flashes out of the loft. Phoebe stands there with her head lowered. She folds her arms and looks to the ceiling as she sighs heavily.

End of flashbacks.

It is morning and Paige sits in the attic of the manor, meditating. She is floating in the air, surrounded by white and blue orbs. Her eyes are closed and her legs are folded in the meditating position. She hums as she floats up and down.

Billie walks into the attic and sees Paige.

"Paige?" she says.

Paige opens her eyes and falls to the ground. Billie rushes to her and she helps Paige stand up. Paige brushes herself off and straightens her hair.

"Oooh, I'm sorry." Billie says.

"It's ok. " Paige says, "I should have known that the manor is the last place I could find some peace and quiet."

"Why do you say that? What about your apartment?" Billie asks.

"Some of Henry's parolees' parole is done and he has some paperwork to fill out and it is driving him crazy. Therefore, it is driving me crazy." Paige says.

"What about Phoebe's loft?" Billie asks.

"Today is her day off. She's at home right now."

"Phoebe's day off is Friday. Today is Thursday." Billie says.

"Well, she's at her loft when I stopped by."

"Well, she's probably avoiding something at work." Billie suggests.

"Or someone." Paige adds.

"Well, I was coming up here to look for my backpack but I'm already late to the hospital." Billie says as she turns and begins to walk out.

"Wait." Paige says and Billie turns around. "Hospital?"

"Yeah. I signed up for internship at the Memorial Hospital since school started back up for me after the holiday break, remember?"

"Uh, no I don't. You never told me you were interning." Paige says.

"Huh. I must have told Piper. Anyway, I have to go. Wish me luck on my first day." Billie says as she walks out.

Paige watches her leave and she places her hands on her hips.

"Let's try this again." Paige says as she sits in the center of the attic and closes her eyes.

-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-

Billie pushes a cart in the hospital and the cart has a glass of flowers on top. She enters a room and she sets the flowers on the table. She opens the curtains a little bit to let in the sunshine and she turns around. She sees a young man sitting by the bedside of another man, but slightly older than he is.

"Oh, I'm sorry." Billie says.

"No, it's ok." The man says, "I couldn't interrupt you while you performed your duties, could I?"

Billie chuckles. "I guess not."

"I'm Theo. Theodore Landry." He introduces as he stands up.

"Hi, Theo. I'm Billie Jenkins."

"Nice to meet you, Billie."

"Same here." Billie says. Another young man comes in with a young woman. The young man looks a little bit uncomfortable.

"Here's the cup of coffee you wanted, Theo." The woman says.

"Thanks." He says.

"I have to go." Billie says, "But it was nice meeting you."

"Likewise." He says. Billie pushes the cart and leaves the room with it.

The woman pulls a chair and sits beside Theo.

"How is he?" she asks.

"Same as before. No change in his condition." He says. She looks at the man in the bed.

"Uh, Dave, do you want to sit?" Theo says as he offers his seat to Dave.

"Uh, no thanks. Kat, can I see you outside for a minute?" Dave asks. Kat stands up slowly and whispers to Theo. "I'll be back."

"Ok." He sniffles.

Dave and Kat walk outside.

"What? What is it?" Kat asks.

"I don't know. I mean how can you stand there and pretend that you feel sorry for him?"

"I do feel sorry for him, David."

"No, what I see is guilt." Dave says, "This wasn't supposed to happen."

"I know and it's not my fault but what else do you expect me to do now?"

"We have to finish what we started," Dave says, "Or what we want will never come to us."

"I'm starting to wonder if it is all even worth it." Kat says.

"Don't back out on me now. We're almost there."

Kat nods and steps back. She looks inside the room to see Theo holding the man in the bed's hand and praying. She looks at Dave and Dave smiles coldly.

-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-

I am the son, I am the heir.

I am human and I need to be loved, just everyone else does.

See, I've already waited too long, and all my hope is gone.

-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-

Scenes from San Francisco can be seen. White smoke and clouds hover above the ocean and the hills are seen with buildings. The Golden Gate Bridge can be seen and everything moves very fast. The people, the cars. The cars lead us to the Piper walking into the manor with bagged groceries. She walks into the kitchen and sets the groceries down. She grabs a bag and walks out. She enters the attic where she sees Paige meditating.

"What the hell are you doing?" Piper asks. Paige opens her eyes and falls again.

"Damn it! I was so close!" she says.

"Close to what?" Piper asks as she helps Paige up.

"I'm trying reach enlightenment and learn to control my powers." Paige says as she stands up.

"Honey, we all can't control our powers. It takes time." Piper says.

"Yeah, well, I'm a whitelighter, meditating kind of speeds the process, you know." Paige says.

"Uh-huh." Piper says as she sets the bag on the corner of the attic.

"Gaining control my powers makes me a better whitelighter and there's a less chance of endangering the lives of my charges." She says.

"All you do with your charges regarding magic is orb and heal. There's nothing more to that." Piper says as she stacks the potion vials.

"You sound like Henry." Paige says. "But I can't even do that right. It's a burden to have these powers, and now I have more to make it worse."

"I think you're over-exaggerating." Piper says as she turns to look at Paige.

"Watch this." Paige says as she holds up her index finger. She walks into the center of the attic and takes two potion vials. She places them on the table and steps back. She closes her eyes and takes a deep breath. She waves her hand and the potions orb into the air and clash together.

"Whoa." Piper jumps. "You moved them without saying any words?"

"I was trying to move them to the other side of the room." Paige says.

"Oh…well, kudos to your quest to enlightenment but it requires peace and quiet, which you're not going to find here." Piper says as she walks out. "Try Phoebe's!"

Paige's face brightens up and she smiles.

"Phoebe." She says as she orbs out.

-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-

Phoebe lies on her couch. She types her column on her laptop. Paige orbs in and falls to the ground. Phoebe jumps. "Paige!" Phoebe exclaims.

"That has been happening a lot lately." Paige says.

"What, orbing into people's places uninvited?" Phoebe says.

"No, falling on my ass." Paige adds.

"What is going on?" Phoebe asks.

"I've been trying to control my powers by meditating but it is not working. I tried at home, the manor…"

"Well, meditating requires peace and quiet and no interruptions, you know? You are not going to find that at the manor." Phoebe says.

"Well, I just figured that out." Paige says. She sees Phoebe's laptop and she sees "THE BAY MIRROR" on the top of the screen.

"I thought today was your day off." She says.

"It is…" Phoebe stutters, "Well, I decided to do some stuff, and check to see if it was perfect."

"Phoebe, you're lying. What are you avoiding?" Paige asks.

"I'm not avoiding anything." Phoebe chuckles nervously. "I just want to relax at home with no stress from work."

"Phoebe?" Paige says suspiciously.

"Ok! I am avoiding Jason." Phoebe admits.

"Why?" Paige asks.

"I told him that I chose Coop but he also knows that Coop and I aren't in a relationship yet so he's trying to see if he can win me back."

"Why don't you set him straight? Tell him you're not interested?" Paige says.

"I tried and I don't want to say hurtful things to hurt his feelings. He's such a sweet guy. The empathy thing is not making it any better. I can feel how much he wants me and loves me." Phoebe says.

"Then try to find a better way to make him get it without hurting him." Paige says.

"But I don't know what to say." Phoebe says.

"Well, try to figure out what to say because you're not going to find it here." Paige says as she begins to push Phoebe out the door.

"But I can't get to work like this!" Phoebe says pointing to herself in a jumpsuit.

"Well, I'll orb you to the bedroom and you can choose what you want to wear. I have the exact one in mind." Paige says. She waves her hand at Phoebe and orbs surround her. Phoebe's clothes changes. She looks very professional but glamorous.

"What the…" Phoebe says as she looks at herself, puzzled. "How did you…"

"I don't know. I just pictured the one I wanted you to wear, and then bam!" Paige says.

"One of your new powers is projection?" Phoebe asks.

"Kind of like Billie's?" Paige says.

"Well, your whitelighter half makes it work differently, obviously but yeah." Phoebe says.

"Nice. I can dig it." Paige says. "Now, you have to go!"

"But I live here."

"Not for the next six hours." Paige says.

"But I need my laptop!" Phoebe says. Paige walks over to the couch, grabs Phoebe's laptop and hands it to her.

"Good luck!" Paige says as she closes the door. She sighs and sits on the couch. She clears her throat, sits in the meditating stance and begins to hover.

-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-

Piper walks down the stairs of P3 and sees Leo in a suit.

"Leo? What are you wearing?" Piper asks.

"Oh, this? It's a suit. Seeing as how I'm manager, I'm dressing the part." He says. "Where are the boys?"

"Uh, at Dad's. You didn't have to wear a suit, Leo. That's overkill. That is not the relevant part here." Piper says. "Did you book tonight's band? Are the enough drinks for tonight? Did you do the inventory for the water, straws, and make sure we have back up in case we run out?"

"Piper…" Leo says as he holds her, "I know what I'm doing. I helped you book talent before. Remember, I got you Dishwalla?"

"Yeah, with magic." Piper adds.

"How about Liz Phair? I helped you with her, didn't I?"

"Yeah, but that was through a friend and that was a year ago." Piper says. Leo looks at Piper and steps back.

"You don't trust me, do you?" Leo says, "You don't think I can handle all of this all by myself."

"It's not that, it's just…"

"Just what?" Leo asks, "You don't trust me with your club. You just wanted me to feel good about myself because I have a job."

"Leo…" Piper begins to say.

"Forget it." Leo says as he walks into the back and shuts the door. Piper closes her eyes and sighs in disappointment.

-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-

Phoebe walks into the Bay Mirror. She walks quietly through the busy people. As soon as she reaches her door, she hears someone call her name.

"Phoebe!" Elise says. She turns around.

"Yeah?" Phoebe says.

"I thought you called in sick." Elise says.

"Well, I'm better now!" Phoebe says as she smiles nervously.

"Jason's been looking for you." Elise says.

"Really?" Phoebe says as her eyes widen, "Well, did you tell him that I was coming today?"

"No, she didn't." Jason says as he joins the conversation from behind.

"Jason. Hey! I have a lot of work to do so if you'll excuse me…" Phoebe says as she brushes past him and opens her office door but Jason stops her.

"Phoebe, we need to talk." He says.

"I thought we already talked." Phoebe says.

"You didn't make yourself clear enough, Phoebe." Jason says as he grabs Phoebe's arm and faces her towards him. He stares into his eyes.

"I love you, Phoebe Halliwell. I know that you know that too because of you know what."

"Oh, boy…" Phoebe says as her empathy chimes in. She grabs a letter from her desk and begins to fan herself with it.

"I just want to know if you feel the same way about me."

"I-I, uh, already told you what I feel for you." Phoebe says as she stutters.

"No, you told me you love Coop and you chose him over me. You never told me if you still love me. I just need to know."

"I…" she begins to say but her empathy power makes it harder for her. "I, uh…" she grabs Jason and starts kissing him. They make out for a short period and she stops and pulls back.

"I take that as a yes?" Jason says.

"Uh, no. no, no, no, no." Phoebe says. "That was in the spur of the moment. I can't be here right now. I'm starting to feel sick again. I have to go." She lies as she walks out of her office. Jason follows her.

"Where are you going? You just got here!" Jason yells as she walks out.

-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-

Billie walks in the halls of the hospital with Jerry.

"Thank you for taking me out to lunch." She says.

"Well, you needed a break." Jerry says.

"You're something else, you know that?" Billie says as she looks at him.

"I know…so are you." He says. They kiss. Billie walks into the hospital room with Jerry. They see Theo sitting in the couch, sleeping with a magazine lying across his stomach.

"Oh, poor thing is probably tired." Billie says as she walks up to him and puts the magazine away.

"Is that Theo?" Jerry says.

"Yeah, how do you know his name?" Billie asks as Jerry walks to him.

"Oh, he's an old friend of mine." Jerry says. "Theo? Theo Landry."

Theo wakes up and stretches and yawns. He stops as he sees Jerry.

"Jerry? Jeremiah Mercer!" he says as he stands up and hugs him.

"How have you been, man?" he asks.

"Been good. You know, just hanging in there. How about you?" Jerry asks.

"I'm pretty good. It's just that Troy was shot a couple of days ago and he's been in a coma." He explains, as he gets closer to his brother. "We were supposed to meet at Ghirardelli Square but I was in a business meeting that went on too long."

"I don't understand." Billie says, "What's going on?"

"Oh, where are my manners? This is my girlfriend, Billie." Jerry introduces.

"Yeah, we've met. She is very sweet, and you're lucky, Jerry." Theo says.

"This man here is his older brother, Troy." Jerry says.

"Yeah, he was shot last Saturday and he's been in a coma." Theo says.

"Do you have any idea is behind this?" Billie asks.

"Unfortunately, no." Theo says. Dave and Kat walk into the room.

"Jerry?" Dave says in surprise.

"David?" Jerry says. They exchange hands.

"Billie, meet David Campbell and Katherine Landry." Theo introduces. "David's my cousin."

"Oh, Landry, sister?" Billie asks.

"No. Step-mom." She says as she shakes Billie's hand.

"Oh! Wow…" Billie says blushing. "I'm sorry."

"Oh, no. I get that all the time. It's ok." Kat says.

"Ok, I think it's time for me to leave." Jerry says as he looks at his watch. He gives Billie a kiss and looks at Theo. "Give me a call sometime."

"I definitely will." Theo says as he hands his card to Jerry. Billie walks out with Jerry while Dave and Kat follow. They go further down the hall and Jerry takes the elevator. Billie goes to the desk and retrieves Troy's file. She walks back and overhears Dave and Kat in a room, behind closed doors.

"I think we've waited long enough!" Dave says. "Troy is supposed to be dead, and so is Theo."

"Don't you think it will look too suspicious if they both die around the same time?" Kat says.

"Yes, which is why Troy was supposed to die, not be in a coma. We have to move fast. We have to do this ourselves, seeing as how hiring people to get this done for us didn't go so well."

"So how are we going to pull this off?" Kat asks.

"We suffocate Troy and we shoot Theo in the head. He was so depressed from his father and his brother's deaths that he committed suicide." Dave says. "We must do this within the next twenty four hours."

Billie's eyes widen as she overhears it.

"That's brilliant!" Kat says.

"Soon, there will be no one standing in our way." Dave says. Kat and Dave begin to kiss.

Billie, who is shocked, drops the files. Dave and Kat hear the noise. Billie tries her best to pick up the files. Dave opens the door and finds no one standing there. He calls Kat over and walks into the hospital room where Troy and Theo are. Billie stands behind a wall not too far away. She clutches the papers to her chest. She runs in the opposite direction.

-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-

Jerry walks in the hospital garage towards his car. Billie runs after him, calling his name.

"Jerry! Jerry, wait!" she says.

Jerry stops and turns around. He sees Billie.

"Billie?" he says as Billie runs into his arms, "What's the matter?"

"Dave…and Kat," she begins to say but she's out of breath. "They shot Troy, trying to kill Theo too."

"What? That's impossible; David will not try to kill his own cousins." Jerry says.

"I overheard him talking to Katherine about it." Billie says.

"This is absurd. I don't think that would happen." Jerry says.

"Jerry, trust me. Why would I make something up like this?" Billie says.

"I don't know. We need to get Theo out of there." Jerry says.

"No. It's safer for him there. Taking him away will give Dave and Kat the chance to suffocate Troy and that is exactly how they plan on killing him." Billie says.

"So what do we do then?" Jerry asks.

"The sisters, they can help us. They'll know what to do." Billie says.

"I'll take us there." Jerry says as they arrive at his car and they enter. Jerry backs up the car and drives off.

Piper enters the manor and drags her feet until she enters the living room. She sees Phoebe sitting on her couch and watching television, and eating ice cream at the same time.

"Phoebe? What are you doing here?" Piper asks as she sits next to her.

"Uh, eating ice cream," she says with her mouth full, "What does it look like?"

"I know, but why are you here and not at your loft?" Piper asks. "You people don't live here for a reason."

"What are you doing home so early?" Phoebe asks.

"I had a fight with Leo at the club." Piper says.

"What about?" Phoebe asks.

"His managing skills. I don't know. I feel like I gave him too much credit by giving him this job. What if he…"

"Piper…" Phoebe interrupts, "You didn't give him too much credit or else you wouldn't be doubting your decision. You are underestimating him. Give him a chance to prove himself to you. He'll do fine. If he can run a Magic School with crazy teenagers with magic at their disposal, P3 will be a piece of cake."

"Thank you." Piper says. She begins to walk away and she turns around. "So why are you here instead of your loft?"

"Paige is there meditating and I didn't want to disturb her." Phoebe says.

"Are you kidding me? That's why you're here?"

"No, and I don't want to be there because I know that Jason will be calling my house phone and sending me flowers and I don't want to be around that."

"Oh. Well, what happened?" Piper asks.

"I sort of kissed Jason today." Phoebe says.

"You sort of?" Piper laughs, "You either kissed him or you didn't, Phoebe. Now, which did you do?"

"I did." Phoebe admits and Piper gasps, "It wasn't my fault. It was my empathy power. I felt what he was feeling for me and I couldn't help it."

"Honey…" Piper begins to say, "What are you going to do?"

"I'm going to drown my guilt in ice cream." Phoebe says as she shoves the spoon in her mouth.

"Phoebe, you have to do something. If you don't, he's going to misinterpret the kiss as something else and you will dig yourself deeper into this mess than you already have." Piper advises.

"Ok…"Phoebe says with a sad tone, "But can I do this after my soap opera?"

"No! You have to do this now, missy, before something else goes wrong." Piper says.

"You're over reacting, Piper. Be positive. Nothing is going to go wrong." Phoebe assures her.

Billie and Jerry crash through the front door and into the living room.

"Guys, we have a problem." Billie says. Piper and Phoebe look at each other and Piper folds her arms.

"You were saying?"

-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-

"Ok, let me get this straight," Phoebe says, "There are two people, David and…."

"Kat." Jerry says.

"Right," Piper says "And they are plotting to murder two people, Theo and…."

"Troy." Billie says.

"Ok. They are halfway there with one of them already shot and Dave and Kat want both of them gone?" Piper asks.

"Yeah." Billie answers.

"Billie, I'm sorry but it sounds like something Darryl should be taking care of, not the Charmed Ones." Piper says.

"We dealt with using magic to help in non magical situations before, right?" Billie asks.

"Those were in extremely dire situations where we were forced to use our powers to do something. This is completely different." Piper says.

"How is this one different?"

"We were backed into an impossible corner where we had no choice. This one, we do have a choice where the authorities can intervene before it gets that far." Piper says.

"Phoebe, what do you say?" Billie asks.

"I agree with Piper. There's not an urgent reason for us to get involved. It's better if we call Darryl." Phoebe answers.

"Wow, I guess I missed the part where you guys taught me we get to pick and choose our innocents, huh?" Billie says as she stands up.

"Billie..." Phoebe pleads.

"No, it's ok. I'll take care of this myself." Billie says, "Come on, Jerry. Let's get out of here."

Billie puts on her coat and walks out and Jerry follows her out.

Piper sighs and looks at Phoebe.

-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-

Paige is meditating in Phoebe's loft. She hovers slightly from the couch, surrounded by orbs. Her eyes are closed with a smile on her face. The smile fades away when she feels a pull. White, golden swirls surround her as she disappears.

-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-

Paige reappears in the center of the Billie's dorm, surrounded by candles. She looks around to find Jerry and Billie standing behind her.

"What is the meaning of this?" Paige says.

"We tried calling you but you were ignoring us so we summoned you with the witch-to-witch spell." Billie says.

"Ok. I guess no one knows the meaning of me needing peace and quiet." Paige says.

"If you needed peace and quiet, how come you didn't go to the top of the bridge?" Billie asks.

"I don't know. I never thought about it." Paige says.

"Ok, you can do that later but right now, we have a problem." Billie says.

"What is it?" Paige asks.

"Two people are trying to kill one of my patients and his brother." Billie says.

"Ok. Who are these people?" Paige asks.

"Theo and Troy Landry. They are the sons of Tim Landry." Jerry explains.

"Yeah, isn't he the rich mattress dude?" Paige says.

"Yeah. Well, Tim died three months ago at the age of 69 of poisoning which caused a heart attack. He left everything to his sons, Troy and Theo." Jerry explains.

"What about his wife?" Billie asks.

"His wife was forty-two years his junior." Jerry says.

"Damn, a classic Anna Nicole Smith." Billie mumbles. Paige stares at her disapprovingly. "Sorry. Continue."

"I believe Tim's nephew, Dave was angry that he didn't get anything. Tim never a chance to add Kat to his will so that would explain why they both want to kill the Landry boys." Jerry says.

"They want the money. Next of kin." Billie says. "I won't be surprised if they killed Tim too."

"Ok, we have to stop these people before they actually succeed." Billie says.

"The problem is where do we start?" Jerry asks.

"Hold up." Paige pauses the conversation, "Did you guys ask my sisters yet?"

Billie and Jerry look at each other and then at Paige.

"We did ask Piper and Phoebe but they turned us down..." Billie says.

"If they said no,-"

"You can't turn your backs on us, Paige. I mean, this is sort of an innocent to be saved, right?" Billie pleads.

"Yeah but..."

"Please, Paige. You're the only person I can rely on right now. I can do this with or without you but without you would be more difficult." Billie says.

Paige takes a deep breath and sighs, "So what's the plan?"

"We try to draw Theo away from the hospital you go to the hospital and heal Troy." Billie says.

"Wait, I can't guarantee that I can heal him. My powers have been crazy lately and how are we going to explain his speedy recovery?" Paige says.

"Well, then, heal him partially." Billie says, "You've done that before. And as for your powers, have faith in yourself. All that meditating must have done some good."

"Theo gave me his card," Jerry says as he hands the card to Paige.

"Are you going to ask your sisters for help?" Billie asks.

"No. This is a non magical problem. If it gets crazy, I'll call for them." Paige says, "So let's get over there and try to get this over with."

Billie jumps up in excitement.

"But we're doing this on my terms. Little to no magic." Paige adds.

"Got it." Billie says as Paige sighs once more.

Leo walks into the manor carrying a lot of folders and paperwork. He closes the manor's front door shut as he struggles to walk towards the living room with his hands full. As he walks into the living room, he drops the files on the table and collapses on the sofa. He looks up and sees Phoebe sitting on the couch, passed out. He sighs and tries to pick up the stuff and move to a different room.

"Do you need any help with that?" a female voice is heard from behind.

Leo turns around and sees Piper standing in the doorway.

"No, I think I got it. Unless you don't think I can handle it." Leo says.

"Leo..." Piper begins to say but Leo cuts her off.

"I honestly don't feel like arguing right now, I have a lot of work to do so can you please give me some space right now so I can get some stuff done? I have a deadline I have to meet." Leo says.

Piper opens her mouth to say something but she nods and walks away. Leo buries his face in his palms as he lets out a low frustrated sigh.

"You know she believes in you, right?" Phoebe says.

Leo looks up and sighs, "We woke you, didn't we?"

"Ehh, I wasn't really sleeping. I woke up when you slammed the door shut." Phoebe jokes. Leo releases a small chuckle.

"Piper believes in you, Leo. You just have to believe that..." Phoebe says.

"Yeah well, she has a funny way of showing it hovering over my shoulder every single day." Leo says.

"Do you realize that in the seven years she has owned that club, this is the first time she relinquished complete control to someone to do the job she has been doing." Phoebe says.

"That's not true. There was the time the club was changed into "The Spot", and then when your dad ran the club when we faked our deaths..." Leo reminisces.

"First of all, "The Spot" was a makeover, no one gave any one full control and that lasted 5 minutes. Secondly, dad ran the club for a week and even then Piper was behind the scenes doing her job." Phoebe scoffs, "Bottom line is Piper has been handling this club for a long time and it is basically her baby. Do you remember when you had to leave to join the Elders after the darklighters sent you and Piper to the Ghostly plane? You remember how hard it was to leave Wyatt, right?"

Leo nods.

"This is basically the same thing for Piper. It is not the fact that she doesn't trust you, it's more of the fact that she is not used to seeing her club in anyone else's hands but her own and it is hard for her to let go. You have to give her the benefit of the doubt. She can't help it." Phoebe explains.

"I never thought of it like that." Leo says.

"Of course you didn't." Phoebe smiles as she stands up and sits next to Leo, "That's what I'm here for."

"Now I feel horrible." Leo says.

"It's ok. You on the other hand have nothing to prove to anyone besides yourself so don't make this issue about Piper either." Phoebe says.

"What are you talking about?" Leo asks.

"You are feeling the overwhelming pressure of living up to Piper's past successes, you feel the need to prove to her that you can do this when all you are really feeling is proving to yourself that you can do it. You've got this, Leo. We have faith in you." Phoebe says.

Leo smiles and hugs Phoebe.

"And you have to face the music and stop running away from your problems." Leo says as they part from their hug.

"What do you mean?" Phoebe asks.

"Jason. If you truly love him then you will give him peace of mind so he can move on from you. It's not fair to keep him holding on to something he cannot have."

Phoebe gives Leo a questionable look.

"Piper told me..." Leo answers what Phoebe had been thinking, "Coop will come around and you will be happier than you have ever been, but you got to let Jason have his chance to find that same thing with someone else. Don't you think he deserves that?"

"He does." Phoebe answers quietly.

Phoebe's phone begins to ring. She stares at it, "Speak of the devil..."

Leo laughs.

"Thanks, Leo." Phoebe says as she stands up. She pats Leo on the shoulder and walks away. Leo smiles as he watches Phoebe walk away. He looks through the pile of folders and a calling card falls out. He picks it up and in that moment, he gets struck with an idea. He takes out his phone and begins to dial.

"Eric? It's Leo." he says as he looks at the card, "I need a favor."

In a hallway in San Francisco Memorial hospital, a closet door can be seen. In the crevices of the door, blue and white lights briefly shine, accompanied with the orbing sound effect and they disappear quickly. A crash is almost head instantaneously.

"Ow! Paige!" Billie's muffled voice can be heard saying.

"I told you my powers have been off lately. I can't control them since the power boost thing." Paige says.

"But in the closet though? You couldn't orb us into the garage or some other place with a big space?" Billie argues.

"And risk expos-"

"Guys, we don't have time for this. We're kind of in a hurry." Jerry interrupts.

"Right." Billie says.

Billie opens the closet door and peeks into the hallway. The hallway is a high traffic area with medical personnel moving back and forth. She closes the door.

"It's pretty busy out there." Billie says.

"Well, we should go out there anyway. If it's too busy, no one will care we came out of the broom closet." Jerry suggests.

Billie opens the door and walks out casually, followed by Paige and then Jerry.

The group walk towards Troy's hospital room. Billie cracks open the door and sees Theo and Kat sitting on either side of Troy's bed.

"How am I going to heal Troy with those two still in there?" Paige asks.

"I'll draw them out." Jerry says, "Orb into the bathroom and wait until I lead them out."

Billie and Paige nod as Jerry walks into the room. He shuts the door.

Behind the closed door, Billie and Paige try to listen.

"Jerry? What are you doing here?" Theo asks.

"Just coming to check on you guys. Make sure you guys are ok." Jerry says.

"That's sweet of you. You're really a good friend." Kat says.

"Yeah, I get that all the time. Um, can I talk to you guys outside for a second?" Jerry asks.

"Why?" Kat asks.

"Just some important things that require privacy." Jerry answers.

"So you want us to walk into the hallway crawling with nurses and doctors to talk about private matters when we have privacy right here?"

"Well..." Jerry begins to stutter, "if you are going to analyze everything then I'll speak to Theo alone then."

"Is everything ok, Jerry?" Theo asks.

Jerry begins to get flustered.

On the other side, Paige and Billie continue to listen.

"He needs help." Billie says.

"Well, you're still wearing your scrubs so..." Paige says as she gestures Billie to go inside. Billie nods and opens the door.

"Hello, Mr. & Ms. Landry." Billie says.

"It's Mrs." Kat corrects her.

"Well, sorry about that but it's time to change Troy's clothes and give him a bath." Billie says.

"Ugh..." Kat says as she stands up to walk out and Theo follows her. Jerry walks to Billie.

"You look like you needed a little help." Billie says.

"I had it." Jerry whispers to Billie as he walks out. As soon as he shuts the door, Paige walks in.

"Smooth." Paige compliments.

"Thanks, now let's try and help Troy before they come back." Billie says.

Paige sits on the bed and hovers her hands over Troy's body. As she begins to heal him, a thought occurs to her.

"Hey, I thought there was a cousin involved with this." Paige says.

"Yeah, David..."

"Where is he?" Paige asks. As soon as she asks the question, a loud thud is heard and Billie's body can be seen sprawled out on the floor unconscious. Paige turns around to see David standing there with a gun pointed at Paige.

"One false move and you're dead." Dave says, "Step away from the bed."

Paige raises her hands as stands up and walks to the side.

"What were you doing to Troy?" he asks.

"Nothing."

"You're lying." Dave says.

"Put the gun down, Dave." Paige pleads.

"How did you know my name?" Dave asks.

"That's not important. What's important is I know what you and your step mother are planning and we can't let that happen." Paige says.

"Who's we? You and the blonde?" Dave says as he gestures to Billie, who is still unconscious, "You're not in any position to be making any demands here, lady."

Paige sighs, "Just put down the gun, Dave. We don't want anyone to get hurt."

Dave laughs as he cocks the hammer of the gun.

"You're really going to do this here in the hospital?" Paige asks.

Dave shrugs carelessly, "I've been patient for too long."

Paige looks at the gun and the gun automatically orbs out of Dave's hand. It orbs onto the ground and slides across, landing next to Billie.

"What the hell was that?!" Dave screams in shock.

Paige grabs Dave's extended arm and flips him onto the ground.

Jerry, Theo and Kat burst into the room.

"What the hell is going on here?" Theo yells.

"Paige, watch out!" Jerry yells as a gunshot can be heard. He jumps over the bed and pushes Paige out of the way of gunfire and the bullet hits his shoulder as he screams in pain. Paige kicks the gun out of Dave's hand. Paige sits up Jerry against the corner of the room.

"Are you ok?" she asks. Jerry nods.

Kat grabs the vase sitting on a table and smashes it over Theo's head. Theo falls to the ground. As Kat watches Theo fall, Dave crawls across the ground to reach for the gun.

"Let's get out of here." Jerry says to Paige. Paige grabs Jerry and Billie and orb out. Dave grabs the gun and turns around and sees nobody in the corner of the room.

"Where did they go?!" Dave asks.

Kat looks around the room and then looks at Theo's body on the ground.

Paige orbs into the attic of the Manor and drops to the ground, creating a loud noise. She places her hand over Jerry's shoulder and closes her eyes as the golden beams emanate from her hands. Jerry begins to scream.

Phoebe stands in the dining room on the phone.

"Jason, I assure you I'm not avoiding you. I'm sick and I think I got one of those 24 hour flu things."

"According to my clock, you have been sick for 29 hours then." Jason says.

Phoebe falls silent.

"Phoebe?" Jason says, "You can't avoid me forever. Sooner or later you will have to confront me."

"I know. But not now. I-"

Phoebe's sentence is cut short by the loud thud in the attic.

"Are you there?" Jason asks.

Piper runs into the dining room, "Did you hear that?"

"Yeah, but maybe it's nothing." Phoebe says.

"In this house, any noise is never nothing." Piper says.

A loud piercing scream can be heard coming from the attic.

"Ok, that doesn't sound like nothing." Piper says as she runs towards the stairs.

"Ok, Jason. I have to call you back. I promise we'll talk soon." Phoebe says as she hangs up and runs after Piper.

-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-

Piper and Phoebe run into the attic. They see an unconscious Billie lying on her face on the rug and Paige's hand over Jerry's shoulder.

"I have to take out the bullet before I can heal you, Jerry." Paige says as she continues to hover her hand over the wound.

"What the hell is going on up here?!" Piper asks loudly. No one answers.

A few seconds later, a fragment of a bullet orbs into Paige's hand as Jerry lets out a blood curling scream. Billie begins to gain consciousness.

"The bullet is out. You can relax now. It's ok. It's ok." Paige says in her soothing voice.

"Ok, will someone tell us what the hell is going on?!" Phoebe asks.

The wound in Jerry's shoulder heals completely. Paige stands up and sits on the couch. Billie sits up and groans.

"What happened?" Billie asks as she looks around.

-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-

"So you went after them when we specifically told you guys not to!" Piper says.

"I didn't say I wasn't going after them. I just said I was going after them without you guys." Billie defends herself.

"And you dragging Paige into this is your idea of a solo venture?" Phoebe says.

"They didn't drag me anywhere. I went by myself." Paige says.

"And Billie was right. These people are dangerous even though they possess no sort of magical abilities." Jerry says.

"And Theo and Troy are in more danger now than they were before." Billie adds.

"I can't believe this." Phoebe mumbles to herself.

"This is an extremely dire situation now, isn't it?" Billie says to Piper.

"Billie..." Piper begins to say.

"Look, they have already succeeded killing the Tim Landry, they are almost done with Troy and will get Theo at the same time. We have to stop them." Paige says.

"Tim Landry..." Phoebe says, "Tim Landry the mattress guy?"

"The one and only." Jerry says.

Paige takes out the card and hands it to Phoebe. "This is their card. Remember it was in the news when Tim died a few weeks ago?"

Phoebe looks at the card and she is pulled into a premonition:

Theo is in the hospital lying on the floor unconsciously. She sees Kat pacing back and forth and looks at the clock on the wall, which reads 9:29 pm. The door to their hospital room opens quickly and Dave walks in with a bag and a wheelchair.

"Are you sure this will work?" Kat asks.

"We don't have time to question that now. Let's hurry up before Jerry and his friends come back." Dave says.

Phoebe comes out of the premonition.

"What did you see?" Paige asks.

"I think I saw the present. I saw a man and a woman trying to get Theo's body out of the hospital room. I think they're trying to get rid of Theo now and then come for Troy later but I can't be sure. I didn't see far enough to be certain." Phoebe describes.

"Well, are you sure you saw the present instead of the future or past?" Piper asks.

"What time is it?" Phoebe asks.

"Half past nine," Billie says.

"In my premonition, the time was 9:29. Now what are the odds that I had a premonition of the past or future at the same time this was happening?" Phoebe says.

"A part of our new powers?" Paige guesses.

"Maybe." Phoebe says.

"We have to move fast. Billie, Jerry and I, go after the one in the hospital." Piper says, "Phoebe and Paige, go and try to find the other one."

"How are you going to find Theo?" Jerry asks.

"If I concentrate hard enough, I can call a premonition again. I think my new powers can trigger a premonition anytime I want, just don't know when in time I am going to see." Phoebe says.

"I hope you're right." Piper says as she walks out with Billie and Jerry. Paige closes her eyes and holds Phoebe's hand.

"You'll do fine, Paige. Just relax." Phoebe encourages.

Paige sighs and nods. She closes her eyes again and orbs out.

-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-

Paige and Phoebe orb into a warehouse. They begin to walk around.

"Where are we?" Phoebe asks.

"I was thinking about Theo Landry when I orbed and it brought me here." Paige says. She steps on a wallet. She looks down and picks it up. She opens it and finds Theo's driver's license.

"Look, Phoebe. Theo's license." Paige says.

"So we're in the right place." Phoebe says.

"So where are they?" Paige says but Phoebe shushes her.

"I hear voices." Phoebe whispers.

"Everyone hears voices, Phoebe; it's called your conscience." Paige says.

"No. I mean I hear voices around here." Phoebe says.

"Oh." Paige realizes. They walk to a door where the voices get louder. They look through the crack of the door to see Theo bound and gagged. Dave begins to load a gun and removes the tape covering Theo's lips. They watch.

"Do we go in?" Paige asks.

"Not yet." Phoebe says.

"Dave, why are you doing this? You don't have to. Please don't." he pleads.

"Yeah. I don't want to have to do this." He says. "If you want things done, you have to get it done yourself."

"What are you talking about?" Theo asks.

"We poisoned Uncle Tim, seeing as how he was allergic to potassium and we slipped some into his tea which caused his heart attack. Then, Kat and I hired people to kill you and your brother. Only they only wounded him and you never showed up because of the meeting." Dave says.

"David…please."

Dave cocks the gun and points it at Theo.

"How about now?" Paige asks.

"Oh, yeah." Phoebe says they barge in. Phoebe kicks the gun from his hand and round kicks him, sending him flying into the wall. Paige orbs the ropes and tape away and grabs Theo.

"Who are you people?" he asks her.

"Jerry sent us." She replies.

"Let's go." Phoebe says. Paige grabs the two and orbs out.

Dave sits up and looks around. He groans in anger, "Not again!"

-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-

Piper, Billie and Jerry walk in the hospital halls.

"If you see anyone Piper, just freeze." Billie says.

"I think I know what to do and that is not something I can do very well these days." Piper says.

"Well, you can try." Billie says.

"I can freeze witches now, so how about I freeze you instead?" Piper threatens.

"Ok, I'm sorry." Billie says. Jerry just laughs quietly. They arrive at Troy's room.

"Ok, Billie, you do your job." Piper says as she steps back. Billie waves her hand and the door wings open. They walk in and turn on the light and do not find Troy.

"Where is he?" Jerry asks.

"They already got him." Piper says. "Let's go home hoping that Phoebe and Paige have Theo."

They shut off the light and walk out.

-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-

Piper, Billie and Jerry arrive at the manor.

"Is there anyone home?" Piper yells. Leo comes down the stairs.

"I just put the boys down to sleep." He says.

"Sorry. Where's Phoebe and Paige?" Piper asks.

"Living room." Leo says. They all join Phoebe and Paige. Theo sees Jerry.

"Jerry! It was Dave and Kat. They tried to kill me and they shot Troy." Theo says.

"Wait," Phoebe says, "Where's Troy?"

"He wasn't there." Billie says.

"My guess is that they got him around the same time they took Theo." Piper says.

"What are we going to do?" Theo asks. His phone begins to ring. He picks it up.

"Hello?" he answers. "Dave?"

"Put it on speakerphone." Jerry whispers. Theo does so.

"Yeah. It's me. You only have one choice. Your life for your brother's. You have until midnight or he dies." Dave says, "The address will be texted to you. Come alone or he dies."

He hangs up the phone.

"It's obviously a trap." Paige says.

"I don't care. I have to go save my brother." Theo says. His phone beeps and he reads the text message. He gets up and starts to head for the door. Piper thrusts her hands and freezes the room. Everyone is frozen. She looks around and closes her eyes. She waves her hands and unfreezes everyone besides Theo.

"Piper. You could have blown him up." Leo says.

"Well, I didn't." Piper says, "We can't let him go. We have to figure out a way to save both brothers and get the two to confess the truth."

"How do we do that without revealing that we are witches?" Paige asks, "I mean our powers aren't at their best right now, and we only have less than two hours until midnight."

"We can go and retrieve Troy and cast a truth spell." Billie says.

"We'll have to get close and besides, we can't use the spell to get people to confess. It's personal gain. We have to find another way." Piper says.

"How about after we get Troy, we capture Dave and Kat and we morph into them, confess and turn them into the cops?" Jerry suggests.

"Too risky and it is not a pure guarantee that it will work." Leo says.

"How about my projection power?" Billie says.

"Huh?" Piper says.

"Wait. That can work." Phoebe says, "It's the only way we can go there without actually going there."

"Ok, you lost me." Piper says.

"Bear with me." Phoebe begins to explain, "We can project an illusion of Theo and go to Dave and Kat and scare them into a confession like we did with that A.D.A last year."

"That sounds pretty good in theory," Piper says, "But how can we do all of that with just one witch?"

"Who says we only have one witch to use that power?" Phoebe says with a smile.

"Come on, Phoebe, your power of empathy is too unpredictable to tap into Billie's." Leo says.

"I'm not talking about me." She says. She looks at Paige.

"Paige?" Billie says in surprise.

"She doesn't have that power." Piper says.

"Yeah, she does. It's one of her newly acquired powers." Phoebe says.

"But I cannot control them." Paige says.

"All you have to do is will and project." Phoebe says. "Just relax, remember?"

Everyone looks at Paige. She stands up and walks next to Billie. They stare at each other.

A quick scene of the Golden Gate Bridge is shown in the nighttime. We come across a smaller, abandoned warehouse than before. Inside it, Dave sits on a chair and Kat paces back and forth.

"It's almost midnight, Dave. What if he doesn't show?" Kat asks.

"Theo will not let his brother die by his hand." Dave says confidently.

"Are you sure?" she asks. She stops and looks at Dave. Dave stands up and walks to her and plants a kiss on her lips.

"Positive." He says. He walks over to a door and opens it to reveal Troy lying on the bed unconsciously.

"Knock, knock." Theo says as he enters the house.

"Wow, you seem braver than I thought." Dave says.

"When it comes to family, my courage boosts to higher limits." He says.

"Those are words to live or die by. Especially, final words." Dave says.

"Where's my brother?" Theo asks.

"I don't think that is relevant because you guys will meet in a similar place." Dave says as he cocks his gun, "Too bad that place isn't here on Earth."

"Are you sure about that?" says another voice. Theo looks to his right to see Troy standing next to him.

"Troy?" Kat says in surprise. She runs into the bedroom to find that Troy's body is missing.

"In the flesh, so to speak." He says.

"But you're in a coma." She says.

"It doesn't matter." Dave says, "You'll be going in a much more permanent state than that."

-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-

Outside the warehouse, Piper stand behind the wall. Jerry and Theo carry Troy's body. Phoebe joins them.

"Did you call him?" Piper asks.

"Yeah. He's on his way." Phoebe says confidently. She looks behind to see Paige and Billie leaning against the wall, but with their heads hanging low and unconscious.

-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-

"Do you really think so?" Theo says.

"Say hello to Uncle Tim for me." Dave says as he pulls the trigger. The bullets fly through Troy and Theo's chest and hits the wall behind them. They look at themselves, unharmed. They smile at each other and they look at Kat and Dave.

"How is that possible?" Dave says in surprise.

"Wow, fear. That's a good sign." Theo says. He waves his hand and he flies into the wall. Troy waves his hand and Kat orbs out and reappears in the air, flying through a door. He waves his hand again and the gun orbs and appears again, sliding across the floor. It slides to Theo, who stops it with his foot.

"Ready?" Theo asks Troy.

"Yeah." He answers.

"Good luck." Theo says. He astral projects out of the room. Troy looks at Dave and Kat who begin to stand up.

"Hey, Dave." He says, "Why don't you say hello to Uncle Tim yourself?"

Troy morphs into Tim as a zombie looking ghost. He screams and he tries to run. Kat screams and heads for the door. They bump into each other.

"Why don't admit you killed me and shot my son?" he says.

"I shot your son but I didn't kill you." Dave says, "Kat is the one who poisoned you."

"Say that one more time." Tim says.

"We killed you! We killed you! We killed Tim Landry." Dave says. Kat repeats what he says. They both run out the warehouse repeating their confession. They run outside to be greeted by a whole squad of police. Darryl stands in the front.

"SFPD! Get on the ground, now!" he says. Dave and Kat get on the ground and put their hands above their heads. He walks towards them with some of the policemen. Tim stands inside watching all of this smiles. He morphs into Paige and orbs out.

Paige orbs next to her unconscious body. She looks at everyone and smiles. She orbs into her own body. She takes a deep breath as she comes to. Phoebe and Piper walk to her and hug her.

"Good job." Piper says.

"I couldn't have done it without Billie." She says. Billie just smiles.

"Get them out of here." Darryl says. They nod and handcuff Dave and Kat and they are put into the police cars. Theo looks at Dave and Dave stares at Theo with anger and a little bit of fear. The car drives off with the sirens sounding. The sirens echo in the air and fade as the cars disappear from sight. Darryl walks to Phoebe, Piper and Paige.

"This was all your doing?" he asks.

"We can only say so much, Darryl." Phoebe says.

"Right." Darryl says as he just puts his hands in his pockets and walks away.

Paige kneels next to Troy and heals his wound. Troy wakes up and Theo runs to his brother.

"Troy!" he says as he wakes up.

"Theo!" Troy says. Theo helps Troy stand up and hugs him. "What happened?"

"Don't worry about it. Everything is going to be alright, now." Theo says.

Billie walks over to Jerry and hugs him. The sisters watch the reunion and smile. Phoebe rests her head on Piper's shoulders, who just brushes Phoebe's hair as they watch Theo and Troy.

The sun rises over the horizon and moves over the bridge. It signifies time passing by. It is nighttime once more and the ocean can be seen as scenes of San Francisco in the nighttime can be seen.

P3 can be seen, and as usual, has a huge crowd trying to get in. New Found Glory plays in the club and their song "Kiss Me" is heard playing.

Piper, Billie and Leo sit in the booth. Paige comes through the crowd and joins them.

"Wow. I haven't seen this place this packed since Pat Benatar's performance here." Paige says, "I must say, for a guy who runs a school, you have outdone yourself."

"Pat Benatar performed here?" Billie asks.

"Yes, Billie, thank you, Paige." Leo says. "I have outdone myself, if I do say so myself."

"I agree." Piper says, "And I'm sorry I doubted you and your abilities."

"You're forgiven." Leo says as he kisses Piper, "And I'm sorry I snapped at you earlier."

"All is forgiven..." Piper says as she kisses Leo again.

"How did you book such a good band?" Paige asks.

"Let's just say that they were looking for a place to promote their album and I offered." Leo says.

"Well, this place couldn't have found a better manager." Paige says.

"Thank you, Paige." Leo says.

"So we did a lot today, huh?" Billie says.

"How did you guys pull it off?" Leo asks.

"Well, Billie and I projected into the warehouse, after I had orbed Troy out of the bedroom. I then morphed into Troy and then into a ghost and then we saved the day." Paige explains.

"While Phoebe called Darryl to come in time to hear the confession." Piper adds.

"Our projected selves were not affected with the gunshots, either." Billie says.

"Not bad in a day's work." Paige says, "I helped save the day with my newly found powers. I kind of like it. Seeing Troy and Theo reunite made me realize our powers are a blessing, and not a burden."

"Great. It took you all that to realize that?" Piper asks. Paige scoffs and laughs.

Jerry comes through the crowd and comes to the booth.

"Hey!" Paige says.

"Hi, guys." He says.

"What are you doing here?" Piper asks.

"I came here for my date." He says with a smile as he winks at Billie. Billie stands up and looks back. She waves at them and she mouths the word, "Bye" as she is whisked away. Leo stands up as well.

"I have to get going." He says. "I have to go to Magic School in the morning."

"See you later, honey." Piper says. Leo smiles and waves. Piper looks at Paige who just shrugs and smiles. She takes her bottle and begins to sip from her bottle.

A brief look at the bay and The Bay Mirror appears.

Phoebe walks out of her office and she shuts the lights. She turns around and finds Jason sitting at his desk, packing his brief case. She walks to his office and knocks lightly on his door. He looks up.

"Well, look who it is." He says.

"Yeah." Phoebe says.

"How are you feeling?" Jason asks.

"I'm feeling a bit better." Phoebe says quietly.

"Good." He says. "Look, Phoebe. I'm sorry for bothering you the way I have been for the last couple of days."

"I actually don't think you were bothering me." Phoebe says, "You helped me realize my feelings for you a little quicker than I originally would have."

Jason stands up and walks to Phoebe.

"Phoebe, I'm flying to London in a few hours but I just want to say something before I go. I know you have heard me say this to you in the last two months but its nothing but the truth." Jason says. "I love you, Phoebe. I love you with all my heart and more than words can possibly describe…"

Phoebe looks down and looks at Jason. "I love you too, Jason." She says. "I have always loved you and will always love you."

Jason smiles and walks closer to Phoebe. "You mean it?"

"Yeah. I do. I mean it. I do love you, but I am in love with Coop. He has won my heart and I will never love another man the way I love Coop." Phoebe says.

Jason looks down and smiles. "Well, I can't say anything to that, can I?"

"No." Phoebe says softly.

"All I can say is that Coop is a lucky man to have you. I wish you two the best."Jason says. He moves closer to her and kisses Phoebe on her forehead.

"Never forget that you have a friend who will always be here for you." Jason says. He walks to his desk and closes his brief case. He picks it up and walks to Phoebe. "See you later, Phoebe."

Jason walks out of the office leaving Phoebe there by herself. Phoebe takes a deep breath and exhales. She looks up and walks out too. As the doors of the Bay Mirror close, the lights shut off.
