INT. MANOR - CONSERVATORY - DAY. Wyatt sits in the middle of the conservatory, telekinetically playing with blocks. He motions with the arm and moves them around in the air.
Piper and Leo come into the conservatory. Piper holds Baby Chris in her arms and smiles when she sees Wyatt.
PIPER
There you are, sweetie.
LEO
Aw, and look. He's playing with his blocks.
(to Baby Chris)
Some day you'll be able to do that with like your big brother Wyatt.
How does that sound, huh?
Piper sets Chris down next to Wyatt. Baby Chris blinks with his eyes and one of the moving blocks flies over to him. Chris gurgles and gushes, but Wyatt interrupts his fun with a motion of his arm.
The block is yanked over through the air away from Chris and back to Wyatt who then orbs himself and the blocks in a space away from Chris.
WYATT
Mine.
PIPER
Okay, I did not go through a c-section to my sons not get along.
(to Wyatt)
Be nice to your brother, okay? You need to share your toys with
him.
Wyatt throws his hand out and sends one of the blocks sliding across the floor to Chris. Baby Chris blinks and starts to levitate the block. He giggles as it flies.
Piper and Leo smile as they see Wyatt and Chris getting along, until Chris blinks for another block. Wyatt counters by yanking both the block that Chris had and the one he is moving back to him.
LEO
Okay, you know, this could go on forever.
PIPER
Yeah, I am not going to get in the middle of a powerful baby and it's
brother.
There's a crash from the attic upstairs.
PHOEBE (from attic)
Piper!
PIPER
Phoebe?
INT. MANOR - ATTIC - DAY. Paige lies on the attic floor, unconscious and with scrapes on her face. Phoebe is beside her. Javis advances with several Knacker Demons at his side.
PHOEBE
Stay away from me or I'll-
JAVIS
Or you'll what? Use your powers? You don't have any, witch.
With a flick of his wrist, Phoebe goes flying backwards into the wall and tumbling to the ground. Piper and Leo come running in. Piper sees Javis and the Knacker Demons and waves her arms.
Piper's body glows and she then realizes that she has activated her new power. Before she can say anything, she falls through the attic floor.
LEO
Piper!
The Knacker Demons all hurl energy balls at Leo. Without any powers to defend himself, Leo goes crashing into the wall. The Knacker Demons all shimmer out as Javis places his hand upon Paige's chest.
Phoebe recovers and sits up as she sees Javis doing this.
JAVIS (to Phoebe)
Sorry, witch. I win. You lose.
He shimmers out with Paige.
INT. MANOR - ATTIC - DAY. Phoebe is frantically flipping through the Book of Shadows. Piper watches her, while Leo has an ice pack on his shoulder. Wyatt is in his playpen, while Chris is in his bassinet.
PHOEBE
Nothing ... nothing ... and nothing.
PIPER
Those were Knacker Demons, though, weren't they?
PHOEBE
Yeah, but we weren't prepared. The potion wasn't even finished,
yet. It still needed to cool off.
LEO
I still don't understand why that demon didn't kill Paige on the spot.
PIPER
Well, you can't sense her. How do you know he didn't?
LEO
Because I would have been alerted if she had. Besides, you guys
would have figured out, too.
PHOEBE
Guys, this is really my fault.
PIPER
What?
PHOEBE
About Paige. I mean, if I had my powers, I could have saved her.
LEO
Phoebe, there is no reason to-
PHOEBE
No. It's my fault. And now I need to take act.
PIPER
You're not going to go down to the Underworld, are you? Because
without a plan, we're screwed.
PHOEBE
No. No Underworld. In fact, I'm not even going to go look for Paige.
LEO
What are you talking about?
PHOEBE
I wanna go back to the Tribunal.
PIPER
Wait, the Tribunal? As in big great hall; mysterious faces; Elders and
Demons who took away your powers? That Tribunal?
PHOEBE
Yeah. That Tribunal.
LEO
But Phoebe, Paige needs you-
PHOEBE
And she has me. But it would be better if she had a sister with
powers. I am going to try to convince them.
PIPER
But Phoebe-
PHOEBE
Piper, no. We can't go on like this forever.
Phoebe starts to write a spell on a notepad as she speaks.
PHOEBE
I'll be back as soon as I can. While I'm gone, work on finding the
demon who kidnapped Paige, and the potion for the Knacker
Demons. Don't go looking for her until I'm gone.
INT. UNDERWORLD. Javis shimmers in with Paige's unconscious body. Ritka materializes in the shadows.
RITKA
Did you get the witch?
JAVIS
Yes, I got her.
Ritka emerges from the shadows as an athame appears in her hand. She advances on Paige.
RITKA
I have waited so long for this moment. To get my revenge on
witches for all the vanquishing they have done. And finally, I will
break the Power of There and-
JAVIS
No! No, you will not kill her!
RITKA
What? Javis, we have to kill her!
JAVIS
If we kill her now, then I won't be able to kill her sisters like I
planned to.
RITKA
Speak.
JAVIS
You see, both of Phoebe and Piper's worst fears is losing a sister.
After losing Prue, they don't want to have to go through that
again. If we get them to see Paige die, then Phoebe and Piper are
an easy target for me.
RITKA
So what do we do?
JAVIS
I will curse Paige with my powers, and then get Phoebe and Piper
to come and retrieve Paige from the Underworld. They're going to
come soon, with vanquishing potions and spells, so I will be hiding,
and so should you. We'll attack so it looks like we need to keep Paige, but we'll let them win. Once they get her, they'll be getting their sister, but Paige will still have the curse.
RITKA
And from then on, she'll be ours!
JAVIS
Exactly.
RITKA
So go on. Curse the witch. The sooner The Charmed Ones are dead,
the better.
Javis throws out his hand and casts a red glow upon Paige. The red glow embraces Paige and fades into her.
RITKA
Now what?
JAVIS
Now, we wait.
He shimmers out. Ritka disappears.
INT. MANOR - ATTIC - DAY. Piper is holding potion vials in her hands. Leo is looking through the Book of Shadows.
LEO
Here he is. Javis; an extremely powerful demon that kills witches by
cursing upon them their worst memories and fears. The memories
and fears grow and grow until the witch is vulnerable to Javis to
kill.
PIPER
Is that what he wants with Paige?
LEO
I bet it is. But he probably wants more, otherwise Paige would be
dead by that. I just can't think of what.
PIPER
Now what do we do? We can't just sit here knowing that our sister
is in danger at every moment.
(thinks for a moment, then stands)
I have to go.
LEO
Piper, no! You can't go. With Phoebe gone, and with me powerless,
it's too dangerous for you to go alone.
PIPER
I can't just wait for my sister to die! I won't!
LEO
Piper, I care for you and I am not going to let you get hurt and
kidnapped by that demon.
PIPER
Damn it, Leo! What am I supposed to do? Wait?! No, I can't. I just
can't. I am not going to lose Paige like I lost Prue, okay?
(silence)
I-I can't go through that again.
Leo embraces her and they hug. They step back from each other as Piper begins to write a spell.
PIPER (writing)
I call upon the witches power ...
INT. UNDERWORLD. Paige is bound by ropes. Piper materializes in a burst of golden orbs.
PAIGE
Piper! No, it's a trap!
PIPER
What?
An energy ball comes flying at Piper from behind. Piper panics and glows for a moment. The energy ball passes through her. Piper turns back and faces Javis and Ritka.
JAVIS
Come for your sister, bitch?
PIPER
You bet your demon ass.
Piper becomes solid again and waves her hands and blasts Javis. The blast hits Javis and he stumbles as it hits him.
JAVIS
Hit me with your best shot.
Javis throws an energy ball at Piper, who freezes it. Ritka flicks her wrist and the energy ball unfreezes and continues to sail in Piper's direction. Piper dives out of the way.
She rushes towards Paige and grabs Paige's bound hands.
PAIGE
What are you doing? Get me the hell out of here!
PIPER
That's what I am trying to do.
Piper concentrates and as Piper glows, Paige does too since Piper is touching her. Piper pulls Paige's arms and her arms pass through the ropes. Paige stands up, her hands free.
Piper and Paige glow again and become solid.
PIPER
Get us out of here.
Ritka throws an energy ball at them but Piper and Paige orb out. The energy ball misses them. As soon as their gone, Javis smiles.
JAVIS
Perfect. Just the way it should be.
Piper and Leo come into the conservatory. Piper holds Baby Chris in her arms and smiles when she sees Wyatt.
PIPER
There you are, sweetie.
LEO
Aw, and look. He's playing with his blocks.
(to Baby Chris)
Some day you'll be able to do that with like your big brother Wyatt.
How does that sound, huh?
Piper sets Chris down next to Wyatt. Baby Chris blinks with his eyes and one of the moving blocks flies over to him. Chris gurgles and gushes, but Wyatt interrupts his fun with a motion of his arm.

PHOEBE (from attic)
Piper!
PIPER
Phoebe?
INT. MANOR - ATTIC - DAY. Paige lies on the attic floor, unconscious and with scrapes on her face. Phoebe is beside her. Javis advances with several Knacker Demons at his side.
