INT. MANOR - KITCHEN - NIGHT
The Potestas lurk, waiting for the sisters to make a move. As Phoebe moves to kick Potestas #1, Piper lunges for the Tempore. Paige calls for the Belthazor flesh and directs it into the potion pot, which explodes. Potestas #2 launches an ENERGY BALL at Paige, but she ORBS OUT, ORBING IN by the potion pot. Paige grabs the pot and throws the entire contents at the demons. The potion hits the demons, along with everything else in the kitchen, but Potestas #1 and #2 are both vanquished. Phoebe, who had been battling with Potestas #1, is knocked backwards into Piper and both fall to the floor. Both of them have a good amount of potion soaked into their clothing and their hair.
PAIGE
Are you guys okay?
PIPER
Ew, ew, ew. Pig. Foot.
Disgusted, she throws away the pig's foot that had landed in her lap. Paige gives Piper and Phoebe a hand in standing up.
PIPER (cont'd)
Thanks, Paige. That was very effective. But maybe next time you
could try orbing the potion, just to save ourselves the cleanup.
PAIGE
Oh...Sorry.
PHOEBE
I have to say in the five years we've been fighting demons, this
is the first time we've tried to vanquish our kitchen.
PAIGE
Well, there was that time when Piper vanquished the entire
house.
PIPER
I did not vanquish the house. I simply...
Piper notices that Paige looks like she just had an idea.
PIPER (cont'd)
What does that look mean?
Paige starts rummaging in a cupboard full of pots and pans and pulls out a big pot.
PAIGE
Is this the biggest pot we have?
PIPER
Uh, no. I think I have a taller one somewhere.
PAIGE
Good. Find it. I think I just had an idea of how to rescue
Javier.
EXT. INITECH BUILDING – NIGHT - ESTABILISHING
A beat to establish, then:
INT. INITECH BUILDING - THE BROTHERHOOD'S HEADQUARTERS - NIGHT
A demon, who looks like Potestas #2, but who is really Paige in disguise enters the offices, walking past an empty reception desk. The office is bustling with twenty or thirty demons; one of which nods at Potestas #2/Paige respectfully and Potestas #2/Paige tries to feign recognition. Potestas #2/Paige begins walking around the offices, trying to size up the situation, and pauses when noticing a tall plant in a planter. Taking a jar of potion from a pocket, Potestas #2/Paige quietly calls for the jar and it orbs into the planter. Potestas #2/Paige continues to walk around the office, walking behind Demon #1 who looks up from his work and sniffs the air suspiciously.
INT. HALLWAY - NIGHT
Piper and Paige stand in the hallway outside of the Brotherhood's headquarters. Phoebe has her eyes closed and is concentrating on the premonitions she is receiving.
PIPER
Can you see where she's putting the jars?
PHOEBE
Yeah.
PIPER
Oh, I hope this works.
INT. OFFICE - NIGHT
Javier is still tied to a chair, not really conscious but not unconscious. Potestas #2/Paige enters the room, closing the door quickly and rushing to Javier.
POTESTAS #2/PAIGE
Javier?
Potestas #2/Paige glamours back into herself.
PAIGE
It's Paige. Can you hear me?
Javier opens his eyes slowly.
JAVIER
Paige?
Paige pulls at the rope that binds his hands, but they won't budge. So she calls for the rope, untying him.
PAIGE
We need to get you out of here. Can you stand up?
Behind her the door opens and Demon #1 enters the room.
DEMON #1
Witch.
Grabbing Javier's arm tightly, Paige and Javier ORB OUT.
INT. HALLWAY - NIGHT
Piper and Phoebe, who is holding a small potion bottle, wait anxiously. Paige and Javier ORB IN.
PAIGE
My cover's blown. I'm going to orb him to the manor.
PIPER
Paige...
PAIGE
I'll hurry.
Paige and Javier ORB OUT. Demon #1 MATERIALIZES. Piper and Phoebe yelp in surprise, but Phoebe tosses the potion bottle at him. The potion bottle explodes and Demon #1 is vanquished.
INT. THE BROTHERHOOD'S HEADQUARTERS - NIGHT
The sound of Demon #1's dying scream alerts the other demons. DEMON #3 rushes out of the offices, but he soon comes flying back into the room, screaming as he is vanquished. Piper and Phoebe storm into the room. Several demons launch ENERGY BALLS toward the sisters, but Piper FREEZES the room, which freezes some demons, but not all of them. The demons that are not frozen realize their energy balls are and advance toward Piper and Phoebe. Phoebe kicks the closest demon.
PHOEBE
Piper.
Piper takes a large jar of potion from the pocket of her jacket and (possibly in slow-mo) throws it up in the air. She BLOWS UP the jar, sending potion spraying across the entire office. Piper immediately turns and BLOWS UP the jar of potion that Paige hid in the planter, which sends more potion flying, vanquishing several demons.
PIPER
Phoebe!
PHOEBE
In the corner.
Phoebe points to one of the corners of the office space. ANGLE on another jar of potion Paige planted as Piper BLOWS IT UP. Phoebe has been pelting demons with small bottles of potion as well.
PHOEBE (cont'd)
By the copier.
Unable to see the jar, Piper just BLOWS UP a good portion of the copy area. Demons are being vanquished left and right. Some demons emerge from offices only to be hit by potion and are vanquished themselves. The potion finally stops flying and the only demons left are cowering behind doors, trying to shield themselves from the vanquishing potion. Piper produces another jar of potion from her jacket.
PIPER
We still have a lot left if any of you...
The remaining demons DEMATERIALIZE. Both Piper and Phoebe are liberally spattered with potion. Phoebe wipes some potion off of Piper's jacket.
PIPER (cont'd)
The dry cleaner is going to love me this month.
PHOEBE
I think we need to do laundry tonight.
ANGLE on Demon #2 who MATERIALIZES behind them, poised to attack. Paige ORBS IN.
PAIGE
Look out!
Piper and Phoebe duck as Paige throws a small bottle of vanquishing potion at Demon #2, who is vanquished.
PAIGE (cont'd)
You know, I think the Brotherhood needs to do away with that
whole blood oath thing. It makes them way too easy to vanquish.
Piper and Phoebe, sticky with potion, glare at their perfectly clean sister.
PAIGE (cont'd)
What?
Piper glances at Phoebe and then at the jar of potion that she holds in her hand. Piper starts to unscrew the lid.
PIPER
You know, it occurs to me, Paige, that Phoebe and I have ended
up drenched with potion twice this evening, and your clothes
don't seem to have a spot on them.
Realizing what Piper intends to do Paige starts to back away.
PAIGE
Wait a second. No. If you do that, you guys are walking home.
A beat then Piper clamps the lid back on the jar.
PIPER
Okay. Fine.
PAIGE
Okay then.
Paige holds out her hands to her sisters. Piper takes one hand; Phoebe takes the other and with her free hand she grabs the loose lid from the potion jar and Piper dumps the potion on Paige's head.
PAIGE (cont'd)
You're paying for my dry cleaning bill.
PIPER
Well, you're helping me clean the kitchen.
Paige, Piper, and Phoebe ORB OUT.
INT. MANOR - LIVING ROOM - MORNING
Piper, Paige, and Javier, who is holding Wyatt on his lap, are sitting on one couch and Phoebe is sitting by herself in a chair. Javier is playing with Wyatt.
JAVIER
Well, I guess I'd better get going.
He hands Wyatt to Piper.
PIPER
Are you sure? You're welcome to stay a little longer.
PAIGE
Yeah, we'd hate for you to have to be alone right now.
JAVIER
I'd hate to inconvenience you more than I all ready have.
PAIGE
You're not inconveniencing us. I don't mind sleeping in with
Piper. At least she doesn't kick like Phoebe.
PHOEBE
Hey.
JAVIER
Well, thank you. I appreciate the offer, but I won't be alone.
I'm moving in with my sister for a while, so I can spend some
time with her and my niece. It seems like a minute ago she was
his age.
PIPER
You know you have your job back, right?
JAVIER
I appreciate that too.
(beat)
Thank you for everything.
PIPER
We wish we could have done more.
JAVIER
(getting a little teary)
Yeah. Well, I've really gotta go.
He stands to leave and so does Paige.
PAIGE
I'll show you out.
Javier says his goodbyes to Piper and Phoebe. He follows Paige into the...
INT. FOYER - MORNING - CONTINUOUS
Paige opens the front door. Javier pauses by her as he leaves.
PAIGE
See you around?
JAVIER
See you.
He leaves and Paige closes the door behind him, looking more than a little pleased. She returns to the...
INT. LIVING ROOM - MORNING - CONTINUOUS
Piper is smiling knowingly at Paige.
PIPER
Someone have a little crush?
PAIGE
Maybe just a little.
PIPER
Mm hmm. So when I walked by your room earlier and saw you
smelling your pillowcase you were just, what, making sure our
fabric softener really is country breeze fresh?
PAIGE
I was...enjoying the feel of my own sheets after having been
away from them for several days.
(off Piper's look)
So I'm twelve, okay?
(beat)
His hair smells like apples.
PIPER
(to Wyatt)
Isn't Auntie Paige cute when she's twelve?
PHOEBE
Speaking of twelve, Piper, aren't you supposed to meet Sheila
and Darryl at noon?
PIPER
Oh. You're right. I'd better get ready. Oh, and I told them we
could baby-sit Michael tomorrow night so they could go out to
dinner by themselves. I owe them about a decade of free
babysitting for taking care of Wyatt.
Piper stands and heads toward the stairs.
PAIGE
I think I'll go lay in my bed for a while.
She heads off after Piper. After a moment, Phoebe follows them into the...
INT. FOYER - MORNING - CONTINUOUS
PHOEBE
Uh, guys.
Piper and Paige both turn to look at Phoebe.
PHOEBE (cont'd)
Listen, I know you both have kinda been giving me the cold
shoulder the past couple of days and I can't say I don't deserve
it. Do you remember how Chris said that because my powers were
acting funny that they could be trying to tell me something?
Well, I think I know what they were trying to tell me. You see,
the reason I deserted you the other night was because I kept
having visions of you guys and you were in pain. And I could
feel your pain. But that's not the reason why I ran away from
you. The reason was that I knew the pain that I was seeing and
the pain that I was feeling was pain that I had caused you.
PIPER
Phoebe...
PHOEBE
No, Piper. I need to say this. I am so sorry. For everything.
I'm sorry for what you went through because of my relationship
with Cole. I feel guilty every day for putting my sisters lives,
my nephew's life, in danger. But I realized that I never told
you that. So I'm sorry. I'm sorry for all of the times I wasn't
there when I was supposed to be. I'm sorry for all the times I
didn't know what was going on in your lives. But mostly I'm
sorry for not being as good a sister to you as you've been to
me.
With tears in her eyes, Phoebe finds herself unable to speak any more. After a moment Piper hugs her sister. Phoebe invites Paige into their embrace. For several moments the sisters hug, Phoebe continuing to say her apologies. She leans down and kisses Wyatt on the head and receives a premonition.
EXT. FIELD - NIGHT - PHOEBE'S PREMONITION
The vision is the same vision she had twice before--a man is running and his breathing and the sound of his feet hitting the ground are audible. But this time, her vision becomes clear enough for Phoebe to recognize that LEO is the man she has seen in her premonitions and that he is definitely not Up There like he is supposed to be.
IN THE FOYER as her premonition ends, Phoebe backs away from her sisters, stunned and confused.
PHOEBE
Leo?
BLACK OUT
