Show front of Billie's apartment building.

Int. Billie's Apartment

Billie is cooking breakfast when there is a knock on her door. She flips a pancake, and then answers it. Jason is at the door.

Billie (smiling): Hey Jason, how are you?

Jason (grinning nervously): I'm good, how are you?

Billie: Same here. So, what are you up to today?

Jason: Well, I'm probably going out later to visit my parents, but until then, nothing. You?

Billie (apologetically): I have to go and help out the Halliwells until later today.

Jason seems slightly disappointed but hides it well.

Jason: Well, I'll see you a little after the holidays then.

Billie: Alright, maybe we can do something when you get back.

Jason smiles at this.

Jason: That sounds good. I'll see you later.

Billie: Bye.

She shuts the door, and as soon as she does, an angry look appears on her face.

Billie (loudly): Why is it that every time I meet a cute guy, who isn't a demon from hell, I'm always busy.

Outside the door, Jason is standing. He seems to have heard what she said through the door.

Jason (grinning): She thinks I'm cute. I'll live with that.

From inside the apartment, Jason can hear a fire alarm sounding.

Billie (from inside the apartment, yelling): Shit! The pancakes!

Jason chuckles a bit and walks into his own apartment.

Intro

Music: If I Could Have You Back by Aly & AJ

Show San Francisco skyline.

Show front of Phoebe's house.

Int. Phoebe's house – living room.

Prudence is talking on the phone.

Prudence: Alright… That sounds great Justin… I'll see you there… bye.

Phoebe walks in with a basket of clothes.

Phoebe: So, you have plans with Justin today?

Prudence: Yeah, we're going out today.

Phoebe beings folding clothes.

Phoebe: So where are you going?

Prudence: The mall, and then someplace to eat.

Phoebe (still folding: After that?

Prudence: I don't know.

Phoebe (sighs and turns around to face her daughter): Honey, this is going to be difficult to talk about but –

Prudence (turns bright red): Ew, mom! Please don't tell me you're trying to have the sex talk with me!

Phoebe (smiling a bit, crossing her arms): Well, would you prefer me or your father once we save him?

Prudence (horrified): Neither! Chris and Wyatt already beat you to it – not to mention Aunt Piper's input which was enough to scar most teenagers.

Phoebe (smiles): remind me to thank her.

Prudence (calming down): And, besides, Chris and Junior already 'talked' to Justin about it.

Phoebe (frowns): Oh, that must have been awkward.

Prudence: For a little while, but I figured out how to get them back for what they said to Justin.

Phoebe (interested): How?

Prudence (with a wicked glint in her eyes): I tell the girls brave enough to date them that they both have genital herpes.

Phoebe gasps and starts laughing.

Phoebe: Don't let them find out you said that!

Prudence: Trust me, they won't. Now, I need to get ready. Justin's going to be here soon.

Prudence leaves and then Patty enters.

Phoebe turns back to the clothes and begins folding again.

Patty (to Phoebe): Did you try to have the talk with Prudence?

Phoebe quickly sets down what she's folding and looks to her daughter with a confused expression on her face.

Phoebe: How did you know?

Patty: because Penny was so embarrassed she almost ran out of the house.

Phoebe (understanding): Oh, that explains it. I should really give Prudence an empath blocking potion. She's the most emotional of the three of you.

Patty: Yeah, I mean, the last time she felt that much embarrassment was when Aunt Paige orbed into your bedroom when you and dad were –

Phoebe (interrupts loudly, blushing profusely): Okay, how about you get ready to go to the manor.

Patty (confused): Why do you have to go to the manor?

Phoebe: It's not just me going. You're going too.

Patty (irritated): Mom! Why do I have to go? You aren't making Prudence.

Phoebe: You haven't discovered the one you're destined to be with. Besides, she's doing the dishes to get out of this.

Patty (exasperated): Well, is there a chore I can volunteer to do so I can get out of this.

Phoebe (smiling slightly): Not a chance kiddo'. Now get ready, and remember to bring lots of paper. We're writing mass vanquishing spells and working on vanquishing potions, so don't wear something too nice.

Patty rolls her eyes and turns around with an angry expression on her face.

Patty (as she walks out of the room, muttering): What a wonderful way to spend the day before Christmas.

Phoebe (loudly): I heard that.

Patty: Remind me to put my stereo up on its highest volume again.

Phoebe: There's no chance of making me deaf Patty.

Exit Phoebe's house.

Int. Manor – attic

Piper is already mixing vanquishing potions when Paige, Junior, Patrick, Adam, and Melinda orb in.

Piper turns around at the sound of orbs.

Piper (to Paige): Oh good, you're here.

She looks down at Patrick.

Piper: Patrick, the boys are downstairs if you want to play with them.

Patrick walks out of the room, and Paige walks forward to Piper.

Paige: So where do you want us?

Piper: I have another two areas set up in here, and there's the kitchen, but you probably don't want to go down there.

Paige (eyes narrowed): Don't tell me you asked her to come with us.

Piper (exasperated): Paige, she's our sister and she wants to help. She's downstairs with Andy, Chris, and Wyatt, because she knows you don't like her very much.

Paige (agitated): Wrong. I don't like her at all.

Chris walks into the room after hearing this last bit.

Chris: Well for the sake of rescuing everyone, you need to at least cooperate with her.

Paige (darkly): Don't remind me.

Piper (turns to Chris): Do we still have those handcuffs?

Chris (grinning): I think so.

Paige (scowling): Fine.

She, Junior, Adam, and Melinda gather around another bowl and being mixing ingredients.

Phoebe, Patty, and Penny walk in.

Phoebe: Hey, is Billie here yet?

Piper: No, actually, she isn't.

Phoebe: Well that's weird. I thought I saw her car on the way here.

Exit Manor.

Ext. Street.

Billie exits her car and begins walking toward the manor when Christy appears behind her.

Christy: Excuse me; I'm looking for directions to hell. Think you can help me?

Billie whirls around to see Christy. Her eyes widen.

Billie (whispering): Christy.

End Act 1.

Ext Street outside the manor.

Billie is standing about 10 feet away from Christy.

Billie (whispers): Christy.

Christy (furiously): Good to see you remember me all these years.

She takes a step forward, and anger can be seen on her face.

Christy: I spent the last 18 years wandering the wasteland Billie. After everything I did for you, you turned on me.

Billie backs up, shaking her head nervously.

Billie: I had no other choice. You would have killed us.

Christy (snarling): Then you should have died.

Billie turns around and runs to the manor.

Int. Manor – Front Hall.

Billie rushes in.

Billie (screaming): Piper, Phoebe, Paige! Christy's back!

She waves her hands and the front door locks, and a table moves in front of the door. She runs into the living room, securing the locks on the windows.

Piper, Phoebe, Paige, and Chris rush down the stairs.

Piper (panicked): How can she be back?!

Phoebe: She died years ago!

Billie (frantically): I don't know, but she's outside.

Piper (turns to Paige): The kitchen, tell everyone to lock the doors and windows and not to let anyone in.

Paige nods and rushes off.

Paige (yells): Wyatt, don't let anyone into the house!

Int. Kitchen.

Prue, Andy, and Wyatt look up from what they are doing.

Prue (concerned): What's wrong Paige?

Paige: Billie's homicidal sister is back from the dead and I'm pretty sure that she wants us dead.

Andy (to Paige, Prue, and Wyatt): Lock all the doors and windows. I'll check with the elders and see what they know.

He kisses Prue on the cheek, and then orbs out. Prue looks slightly upset.

Wyatt quickly moves and starts locking doors and windows. Phoebe enters as Paige turns and leaves.

Phoebe (noticing Prue's downcast look): Is something wrong sweetie?

Prue (looking up at Phoebe): No, not really, its just… sometime I wish that Andy and I could have a non magical life every once in a while, you know?

Phoebe nods and smiles understandingly.

Phoebe: I know exactly what you mean.

She walks forward a bit.

Phoebe: So, did you two get married in the afterlife?

Prue: No, unfortunately. We've talked about it, but with all that's been going on, we haven't had time to really work on it.

Phoebe: Well, when all of this is over, we'll make sure you have the perfect wedding.

Prue (laughs): Just like Piper's?

Phoebe (enthusiastically): Even better.

Prue: Well, thanks, but we have another crisis on our hands that we have to take care of.

The make sure all of the windows and doors are locked and meet in the living room.

Prue (to Piper): Okay, we've locked up the kitchen and the sunroom.

Paige: I took care of the bedrooms.

Chris: I got the attic.

Piper lets out a sigh of relief.

Piper: So any guesses on how she's back?

Wyatt (rolls his eyes): Three guesses.

Paige (sarcastically): Well, let's see. There's William, Cole, and… Oh! William.

Chris: Probably Cole. An act like this is definitely evil magic.

Prue: Not the way William does it.

Everyone turns to her.

Prue (takes a deep breath): Although the only widely known way to resurrect a person was published in the Grimiore, there is another way.

Billie (interested): How?

Prue: It takes the combined powers of good and evil magic. When they resurrected me, Andy, Barbas, Cole, William, and another demon stood in a pentagram and had demons surrounding it chanting in Latin.

Phoebe (looks at Prue): Barbas?! You never mentioned him!

Prue (looks at Phoebe): Yes I did. I said that he was the demon that made me attack Paige.

Piper: I thought that was a different demon.

Paige: Well, it explains why William knew what our fears are.

Billie: And mine would be confronting Christy again.

Piper: So it takes a lot to resurrect people, but why is it that they would have been able to resurrect Christy? It takes good and evil magic, and since neither you nor Andy would help him do that, how did he bring her back?

Prue (looks at Piper): William isn't evil Piper. He hasn't killed anyone, which is how they get around that loophole. And, it really only takes three people to resurrect someone; they just use more to make it stronger.

Chris: That explains a lot, like how he can still readily use his powers of good magic.

Wyatt: But we still have the problem of getting rid of Christy.

Phoebe: Let's just nail her with a couple of vanquishing potions and get it over with.

Exit Manor.

Ext. Street outside the manor.

Barbas shimmers next to Christy.

Barbas (to Christy): You called?

Christy (turning to Barbas): Yes. I'm going to need a way in. One that's quiet.

Barbas: That won't be a problem.

Christy: Good. I'm waiting until nightfall to do this.

Barbas: You do realize that you'll be going up against the Charmed Ones as well?

Christy: Yes, which is why I need to get some bargaining tools.

Exit Street.

Int. mall.

Justin and Prudence are wandering slowly around, holding hands. Holiday shoppers are walking past them.

Justin: So, you're going off to battle tomorrow against your cousin?

Prudence (grimaces): Don't remind me.

Justin (looks at Prudence): You aren't looking forward to it?

Prudence (sighs): No, I'm not. Wyatt hates him, but Chris thinks that there's still some good in him.

Justin (nodding): So you believe Chris.

Prudence: I think that Chris has always been more perceptive than Wyatt. He can usually read people better.

Justin: So you're closer to Chris than Wyatt?

Prudence: Don't get me wrong, Wyatt's great, just he's got a big head because his birth was predicted and he is one of the most powerful witches alive. I think that Chris is just easier to get along with. Plus, there isn't quite as much of an age difference with Chris.

Justin: I understand. I have two brothers. I haven't had a real conversation with my oldest brother in a long time.

Prudence is about to say something when she sees Christy walking towards them.

Flashback

Prudence is holding up a stack of picture frames. She and Billie are looking at the picture of Paige and Henry's wedding.

Billie: That was my sister, Christy.

Prudence: Oh yeah, my mom told me about her.

End Flashback

Prudence (looks to Justin, smiling): Let's go in this store.

She pulls him into a clothing store with blaring music.

Prudence stops smiling and then looks at Justin, worried.

Prudence (hurriedly): Go into the dressing room. Grab as many things to try on as possible.

Justin didn't ask. He walked off, grabbing several shirts, jackets, and a few pairs of jeans.

Prudence walks over to the sunglasses rack and grabs a pair. She peers into the mirror and pretends to be seeing how the sunglasses look. Christy can be seen in the mirror as she walks by the store. Prudence breaths a sigh of relief.

Int. Store – Dressing rooms.

Justin walks into the dressing room, and turns around to see Barbas.

Justin (drops the clothes, shocked): Whoa, dude, I didn't see you here.

He turns around and tries to open the door, but it doesn't move.

Barbas (grinning maliciously): Don't worry Justin; you're in the right place.

He grabs Justin and shimmers out with him.

Prudence runs into the room.

Prudence: Justin? It's okay to come out now.

A dressing room door opens and Christy steps out. She throws a fireball at Prudence, which knocks her unconscious.

Christy (smiling): That was easy.

She walks over Prudence and throws a potion on the ground. They both disappear in a cloud of smoke.

End Act 2

Show Manor – Night.

Int. Manor.

Camera pans to show the grandfather clock's face, displaying the time – 11: 30. Camera then pans to show the living room, where Paige and Billie are sitting on the couch as Phoebe paces back and fourth.

Phoebe: I don't get it. She's not answering her phone; Justin's not answering his phone, and his parents haven't seen either of them.

Suddenly shouts echo upstairs and explosions can be heard.

Phoebe, Billie, and Paige run upstairs.

Int. Attic

Christy is throwing fireballs at Piper, Chris, Wyatt, and Prue. Justin and Prudence are suspended in midair behind her. Justin is struggling to try to move. Prudence has scorch marks on her stomach and is still unconscious.

Billie, Paige, and Phoebe enter.

When Christy sees Billie, she stops firing. Billie steps forward and the two sisters lock gazes.

Billie (scared): Let them go Christy. They're innocent.

Christy laughs harshly at Billie.

Christy: Nobody's innocent.

Billie: Christy, I don't want to kill you.

Christy (conjuring a fireball): Then this will be easy.

She throws the fireball at Billie, who sends it back at Christy. Christy bursts into flames and soon there is nothing left but her ashes.

Billie (softly): Well, that's the end of her.

Suddenly, a glowing pentagram appears around the ashes, and Christy reforms.

Christy (menacingly): You can't kill me that easily.

Phoebe: Care to explain why?

Christy: Certainly, or better yet, I'll have the people who resurrected me tell you.

In front of Christy, Barbas shimmers in on her right. Cole flames in on her left and William teleports in, directly in front of her.

William: Because those who resurrect the person can choose to reform them.

Cole: Or kill them.

William: Or rather, the source of good magic can.

Paige (eyes narrowed): Why does the source of good magic get to decide?

William: Because good magic is supposed to be unbiased.

Barbas: Should the resurrected person live longer than the resurrector, then they will remain alive until they die a natural death.

Cole: Unless of course, they kill the one that resurrected them.

William turns to Christy.

William: Remember what we discussed.

The three shimmer, flame, and teleport out respectively.

Christy (conjuring another fireball): Now, let's try this again.

She tosses the fireball at Billie, but it hits a force field that Wyatt conjures.

Wyatt (Yells): Run!

Everyone quickly runs out of the attic while Christy tosses fireballs at Wyatt's force field.

Wyatt sends a wave of electricity through the field at Christy, who blows up again. Wyatt then runs out of the attic.

Camera pans to the ashes, where a glowing pentagram appears around them.

Camera zooms to show the hallway, and then the grandfather clock, which shows that the time is 11:50.

Int. Living Room.

Paige: I suggest we orb far away.

Piper: Good idea.

Billie: We can't fight her. She'll just come back to life.

Chris: There has to be some way to beat her. No one is unbeatable.

Piper (turning to Chris): Well can you think of any other way?

Prue: What if William gave her a time limit?

All heads turn to face her.

Prue (confidently): It makes sense actually. William doesn't bring people back from the dead for no reason. He wants her to keep us busy or take us out, which means that he's worried.

Billie: She might be right. I don't think Christy will be around forever.

Phoebe (emotionally): Well whatever we do, we need to do it fast, because my daughter and her boyfriend are up there, and I don't want anything happening to them.

Paige (thinking): Do we still have the crystals?

Prue (confused): Crystals?

Phoebe: They are still in the attic.

Wyatt runs in, and above them, a crash can be heard.

Wyatt (quickly): She's coming now.

Paige: Good. Do you know the crystals we used a while ago?

Wyatt (nodding): Yeah.

Chris (to Wyatt): We're going to use them to trap her.

Footsteps can now be heard upstairs. Christy then descends the stairs, fireballs in her hands.

Christy (angrily): There's nothing you can do to stop me.

Piper (confidently): Wanna bet?

Phoebe (yells): Paige, now!

Paige, Chris, and Wyatt hold their hands out.

Paige, Chris, and Wyatt: Crystals, circle!

The crystals form around Christy, who tries to escape. Then the clock begins chiming.

Christy's eyes widen in fright.

Christy (whispers): No!

William teleports in.

William (coldly): Time's up Christy.

He reaches through the force field and then grabs Christy's neck. She begins to scream as she turns back into a pile of ashes.

William looks down at the pile of ashes at his feet.

William: Worthless witch.

He teleports out.

Int. P3 – Bar area.

Piper is behind the bar helping to serve drinks. Paige, Phoebe, Wyatt, and Billie are sitting around the bar. Prue can be seen dancing with Andy.

Paige: So who's ready for tomorrow?

Piper (sighs): I am, but I'm not looking forward to it.

Wyatt: You're going to have to bind his powers.

Phoebe: Or at least the extra ones.

Billie remains silent.

Paige (to Billie): You okay?

Billie (shakes her head): No. My big sister who I killed 18 years ago came back to life and wanted to kill all of us.

Phoebe hugs her.

Phoebe: It's okay sweetie. It's happened to all of us.

Wyatt looks up and sees Ryan walk in with two girls. He gets up and walks over to them. Piper smiles as she sees Wyatt and his friends walk onto the dance floor.

Phoebe, Paige, and Billie all notice and smile a bit.

Piper (sighs): They grow up so fast.

Phoebe nods, and Paige takes Piper's hands.

Paige: They may grow up fast, but they'll always be your little boys.

Billie: Well, with your new found youth, you could always have more.

Paige, Phoebe, and Piper laugh.

Piper (laughing): Easy for you to say.

Phoebe: This coming from the woman who hasn't had children.

Billie (sighs): Not yet, but maybe when I meet the right guy, I'll have some.

Camera show Wyatt, Ryan, their girlfriends, Prue, and Andy all dancing on the floor amidst the crowd.

Camera moves upward with the songs still playing. Scenes of Piper with her children flash across the screen.
