Scene 1- Manor Kitchen
Phoebe and Paige are in the kitchen when Piper comes in half crying and half pissed off and gets right in Paige's face.
Piper: "What the hell is wrong with you!"
Phoebe: "Piper, calm down."
Piper: "Don't even Phoebe"
Phoebe backs away from Piper hurt and Piper turns her attention back to Paige.
Piper: "Where the hell were you!"
Paige: "I was with Daryl at an office down town trying to find out who
sent the Troika and I couldn't orb out in front of all those people."
Piper: "Well if you had been here you would've known Leo found out who
sent them."
Paige: "Piper I'm sorry this happened but I was just trying to figure
things out!"
Piper: "But you can't just run after everything all by yourself, it's
how people get hurt!"
Paige: "We'll heal Leo, I promise. I never wanted anyone to get
hurt."
Piper: "Well someone did Paige!"
Phoebe steps between Piper and Paige not wanting their fight to go on any longer but all it does is make Piper turn on Phoebe too.
Piper: "That's it Phoebe, try to fix everything after the fact."
Phoebe: "What the hell is that supposed to mean!"
Piper: "Cole, Jason, you always wind up having to fix things that
could've been prevented."
Phoebe: "Piper I'm as overwhelmed as you right now but us fighting is
not going to help anybody!"
Piper: "I'm handling Demon attacks all by myself, trying to make sure
my son doesn't grow up to be some all powerful evil, and crying myself
to sleep at night. Your overwhelmed!"
Paige: "Piper you should've told us how hard this has been on you."
Piper: [crying]"And what would you have done. Move back in? Your too
busy living some lie of a life with a boyfriend you can't even trust."
Piper's last statement hit Paige hard. She couldn't believe Piper had said that and what's more she couldn't believe she might be right. Paige started to cry and ran past Phoebe and Piper and out of the manor.
Just as Paige left Chris comes into the kitchen
Chris: "What's going on in here?"
Piper: "Nothing!"
Phoebe walks out of the kitchen without saying a word.

Scene 2 – Outside Richard's House
Paige pulls up in her car and parks across the street from Richard's house. She just sits there tears streaming from her eyes. She doesn't know what the hell just happened or even why she drove to Richard's. Paige can't will herself to get out of her car and so just drives off not sure of where she's going just that she needs to get away.
________________________________________________________________________
Scene 3 - Manor Downstairs
Phoebe is sitting by Jason who is still unconscious with her head in her hands. She can't believe what just happened with Piper and she's afraid what will happen when Jason wakes up or if Leo even will.
Chris walks up to Phoebe and she looks up at him.
Phoebe: "How is he?"
Chris: "Okay for know. Believe it or not being an Elder gives him a
slightly stronger immunity but eventually...."
Phoebe: "Can we use the power switching spell?"
Chris: "No since Leo is an Elder he can't give up his powers."
Phoebe: "You think they'd break the rules to save an Elder."
Chris: "Yeah well what they do never makes sense."
Phoebe: [dropping her head]"I'm scared Chris."
Chris: "Leo will be okay we just have to figure something out."
Phoebe: "It's not that...I mean it scares me that Leo's hurt but
Piper...."
Chris: "Things were pretty rough?"
Phoebe: "I've never seen her like that. She had a right to be mad but
she shouldn't have freaked out on Paige like that."
Chris: "Or you..."
Just as Phoebe is about to answer she looks down at Jason as his eye's begin to flutter then open.
Jason: "Phoebe? Where are we?"
Phoebe: "Jason...we need to talk."
Chris: "I'll go check on Piper and Leo?"
Phoebe: "Thanks."
Chris nods his head and looks as he is about to orb out but Phoebe shoots him a warning glance and he walks up the stairs instead.

Scene 4- Manor Piper's room
Leo is on Piper's bed with a large bandage on his side and the broken arrow on the table next to him. He's conscious but in to much pain to really know what's going on. Piper sits across the room from him with Wyatt in her arms and the reality of everything rushing at her as she tries to figure out what to do.
Chris enters the room stands next to Piper.
Chris: "Any change?"
Piper silently nods her head.
Chris: "I'm going to go up there and try to figure out a way to help him but you
have to figure out a way to pull things back together around here."
Piper just sits in the chair and looks down at a sleeping Wyatt.
Piper: "He's getting big isn't he?"
Chris: "Piper you need to concentrate on Deakan."
Piper: "He seems so innocent."
Chris: "Piper look at me."
Piper looks up from Wyatt
Chris: "I don't know what is going on but you need to get Paige and
Phoebe and
get things under control before there's another attack."
Piper: "He told me he never wanted to hurt me."
Chris follows Piper's eyes to Leo
Chris: "I give up [throws his hands up]
Chris orbs out of the room and Piper just continues to stare at Leo.

Scene 5- Manor Downstairs
Jason and Phoebe are sitting on the couch. Phoebe it holding an ice bag to the side of Jason's head.
Jason: "So are you going to explain any of this to me?"
Phoebe: "Yeah Jason but I need you to calm down first."
Jason: "Sorry Phoebe but I was in Hong Kong twenty minutes ago and then I
woke up in San Francisco this is as calm as I'm going to get."
Phoebe: "Okay well....Jason...you know about magic and stuff right?"
Jason: "You mean rabbits in hats and card tricks."
Phoebe: "I mean... real magic...like....witches."
Jason: "Wi.tch.es?"
Phoebe: "Yeah."
Jason: [extremely confused] "Well I guess, I guess it depends...I
mean...well I
don't know what I mean...why are you asking me?"
Phoebe: "Because Jason... We're....We're witches."
Jason leans back against the couch speechless.

Scene 6 – Parking garage (Night)
Paige is walking out of a building towards her car on her cell phone.
Paige: "I don't know Daryl, maybe I was wrong. It's just the things Jennifer told
me and the connections it just seems like to many
coincidences.....I know ....Call me back if anything new comes up...
No you don't have to call them....Really I'm just going to go
visit Jennifer, see if she remembers anything else....I can handle
it Daryl I'll be alright....Okay. bye."
Paige hangs up and places her bag on the roof of her car while she opens the door but just as she starts to unlock the door she is grabbed from behind and thrown several feet from her car. She looks up to see a Troika demon and darklighter. She quickly gets up to her feet and manages to get her bag dodging an arrow that hits the side of her car. She reaches into the bag and pulls out a potion and ducks as an energy ball hits right next to her. She get's up and starts to orb out but just as she starts to a darklighter's arrow embeds itself in her leg causing her to reform landing on the ground. She manages to throw the potion at the demon, vanquishing him but when she tries to call for the crossbow her power's aren't strong enough to orb it to her and it falls on the ground a few feet away. She tries orbing out again but again her powers are too weak.
Paige: "Chris!Chris!"
She looks around and manages to get her find her keys that had fallen to the ground and she gets into the car and speeds out of the parking garage.
The Darklighter watches as the car speeds away then disappears.
