Guess Who's Back
[Scene: Phoebe's Bedroom about 8 in the morning.]
(For the first time in a long time, Phoebe is sleeping peacefully; no nightmares, no noise, just a peaceful sleep when she wakes up and smells something burning. She gets out of bed and walks into the hallway. She looks from side to side)
Phoebe: What the hell? (Two doors open and Paige and Piper look out of their rooms.)
Piper: You smell that? (Piper takes a big whiff.) It smells like propane gas.
Paige: I think it's coming from downstairs. (They all head downstairs.)
Cut to: [Dining room]
(They all walk into the dining room and see the table is set for five. They all give each other stressed looks.)
Piper: Someone's in the kitchen. (They all walk into the kitchen and see Patience cooking. She turns around and sees the sisters.)
Patience: Oh! Good morning. Did you sleep well?
Phoebe: Patience, what's that smell?
Patience: I thought since I was staying here that I would do some chores around the house for you. I thought I'd start with breakfast. (A pan on the stove starts on fire and the sisters' eyes widen.) What? (She turns around and sees the fire. She jumps a little and looks for something to put it out. She grabs some baking soda and pours it on the pan.) I hope you like your eggs scrambled, and maybe with a little baking soda. (Piper's mouth is wide open, speechless.)
Paige: Who taught you to cook?
Patience: Piper did. She's a really good chef.
Phoebe: (Whispers to the other two.) Obviously, not good enough.
Piper: Or maybe her mother gave her some different tips.
Patience: How did you know? She did show me how to cook a little.
Paige: Imagine that. (The toaster pops some toast up. The toast is smoking and black. Patience grabs it and offers it to the others.)
Patience: Toast anyone? (They all shake their heads. She takes a big bite and smiles.) You don't know what you're missing.
Paige: I may be wrong, Phoebe, but I don't think your daughter is normal. (Phoebe sighs.)
Opening Credits
[Scene: Attic]
(Piper is looking through the Book of Shadows. Phoebe is sitting on the couch thinking to herself. Paige is pacing back and forth.)
Paige: I don't think your going to find anything in there about Patience. I already looked in there.
Piper: I know. I just was looking for a way to send her back to her time but there is absolutely nothing. (She slams the book shut.) Why do you think she's here?
Paige: I think she's here because she's trying to screw us over. Try to get our guard down so another demon can kill us.
Piper: If that was the case wouldn't have tried to save our necks. (She looks at Phoebe.) You're going to burn a hole in the floor if you keep starring at it.
Phoebe: I was just thinking. Just last week we were living a demon-free life and then she shows up on our door claiming she's my daughter and then it's like opening day for witch season.
Piper: But if it wasn't for her we'd be dust piles now. She's here to help us.
Paige: But we don't know a lot about her. I mean, what are her motives?
Phoebe: That's the least of my problems. I was wondering who her father is. I just hope it's someone normal. But before I can worry about that I have to worry about keeping my job. I'll see you later. (She walks out of the attic.)
Paige: Should we worry?
Piper: I think Patience will be alright.
Paige: No, I mean Phoebe and her mystery man.
Piper: I'm not sure about that one.
Cut to: [Underground passage.]
(A demon is running away from something. He stops for a rest. Cole shimmers in.)
Cole: Miss me? (The demon throws an energy ball at him. He catches it in his hand and it disappears. His hand starts to smoke.) Come on, you can do better than that. (The demon throws more energy balls at Cole. The demon smiles as he staggers back. Cole makes an energy ball in his hand. The demon's smile fades into a scared look.) I guess not. (He throws the energy ball and the demon burns up. Tempus appears behind him. He starts clapping.)
Tempus: Bravo. Bravo. That was excellent. I think you're ready to get back to business. I want you to do me a favor. If you don't do it right I won't mind. I just want to see if you've regained all your strength.
Cole: How may I help you?
Tempus: A new power has appeared. Her name is Patience. I want you to go to her and defeat her. Can you do that? (Cole nods his head.) Good. But there's one problem. She's staying with the Charmed Ones. You'll need to get past them before you can get to her.
Cole: You want me to kill Phoebe?
Tempus: No, I just want you to get past her. You might not even have to see her. What do you say?
Cole: When do I begin?
Cut to: [Wyatt and Chris's bedroom]
(Piper walks into the boys' bedroom and sees they're gone. She starts to panic and starts to run out of the room when Leo orbs in. He's holding Wyatt and Chris.)
Piper: Oh my god. I thought that a demon...
Leo: It's ok. They just wanted to see me. They were a little lonely.
Piper: I know. (She grabs Chris and puts him in his crib.) I've been so busy worrying about demons and Patience I guess I've been ignoring them a little. I think I'm turning into a bad mother. (She grabs Wyatt and put him in his crib.)
Leo: You're not a bad mother.
Piper: No, Leo? I almost got them killed a couple days ago. If it wasn't for Patience... (Tears start to form in her eyes.)
Leo: Piper, it wasn't your fault. It just happened. That's part of being the most powerful witches of all time. It has its ups and down. And right now, I get to enjoy the biggest up about you.
Piper: You get to laugh at how emotional I get?
Leo: I get to look at two beautiful children... and you. (He hugs her and kisses her. She smiles. Wyatt orbs out.)
Piper: Uh, we have to orb-proof this room.
Leo: I'll go find him. (He orbs out. Piper looks at Chris and he giggles.)
Piper: At least you're still here. (He orbs out too. She sighs.) Leo! (He orbs back in.) Can you look for Chris too while you're at it? (He orbs out. Paige walks in.) Find anything?
Paige: No, but you had a phone call. Linkin Park's crew is at P3 and they want you there to help you set up. You ok?
Piper: Yeah, my kids are always orbing out and my husband always has to look for them. Nothing I can't handle.
Paige: I'll go with you to set up. I'm suppose to be earning my keep and I have nothing better to do. (They both walk out of the room and Patience walks in. She closes her eyes and concentrates but nothing happens.)
Patience: Well, I guess I better try in the attic. (She turns around and walks towards the door. But before she reaches the door, she shimmers out.)
Cut to: [INT. The Bay Mirror. Phoebe's office.]
(Phoebe's working on advice for people. She looks on one particular letter and sighs.)
Phoebe: Dear Phoebe, My boyfriend and I have been going out for almost two years and we love each other very much. About a week ago, we were watching fireworks and he asked me to marry him. I think the reason he asked me was because of the heat of the moment but he won't admit it. What should I do? I've never saw myself as the marrying type. Just the thought of it scares me. Please help me out. Sincerely, Scared in San Francisco. (She pauses and sighs.) I remember that feeling. (There's a knock on the door.) Who is it?
Jason: An old friend. (She looks up and her eyes widen and her mouth drops open. Standing in the doorway is Jason Dean.)
Phoebe: Jason. (She gets up and gets ready to hug him but stops at the last moment.) It's been a while.
Jason: Yeah. I know. I just thought I'd drop by.
Phoebe: Yeah. So how's France?
Jason: It's great. City of Lights. I just bought myself a little vacation time.
Phoebe: That's great. That's really great. Why don't you sit down? You look like you need to take a load off your feet. (He sits down on a chair. She sits down too. She tries to think of something to say but she just opens and closes her mouth.) Wow. I can't believe you're back. You must be really busy.
Jason: Not too busy to visit you. (Phoebe starts to laugh.) Anything new in your life? A boyfriend perhaps?
Phoebe: No, like I have the time to find one. (Pause. She sighs.) Look, I know you didn't come back just to make small talk, or business talk for that matter. So... what did you come back for?
Jason: I might as well be straight forward. (He gets up and starts to pace thinking of something to say. He scratches his head and finally stops pacing.) Phoebe, when I left for Paris, I thought I'd be able to forget you. Then I started working and drinking... a lot. But I just couldn't get you off my mind. I mean... how could I live with someone...
Phoebe: That's weird?
Jason: That's not what I think of you. It's just you're a witch. I mean, I thought I couldn't live with that. But the longer I was away from you, the more I realized I couldn't live without knowing you. So I came back to see if there was still a chance for us. I know you think that I'm a jerk for what I did to you, and I'm ok with that, but I don't want to leave that impression with you for the rest of my life. I want to be with you. I sound crazy, don't I?
Phoebe: Not as crazy as some people. (She stands up and walks over to him. She puts her hand on the side of his face.) I've been waiting a long, long time for you. (He smiles and they kiss. A beeper goes off. Jason grabs his beeper out of his pocket.)
Jason: Oh, that's my secretary. I need to go. (He writes something on the back of a business card.) Call me, ok? (He gives her a kiss and leaves. She looks on the business card. She reads: Love's given us a second chance. 555-7777. She smiles and goes to her desk. She gets her purse and a picture fall out. She looks at them and frowns. It's the picture of her and Cole together from "Centennial Charmed". She closes her eyes and gasps. She sees Belthazor attacking Patience in the basement. He's strangling her and she passes out. The premonition ends and she drops the picture. She runs out of her office and runs into Elise.)
Elise: Where do you think you're going?
Phoebe: There's a family emergency at home and I have to go. Beside it's almost five. Could I leave early?
Elise: Phoebe, you have too many family emergencies. I think you can wait 15 minutes. (Phoebe opens her mouth to protest but Elise puts a finger on Phoebe's mouth.) No buts. Just go to your office and do some work. Read letters. Write advice. Twiddle your thumbs. I don't care. Just occupy yourself for the rest of the hour. (She walks away. Phoebe goes back to her office and sits down. She looks out of her window. She starts to twiddle her thumbs and looks at the clock. It says 4:46. She continues to twiddle her thumbs.)
Cut to [INT. P3.]
(People are setting up for the concert tonight. Some are setting up speakers and microphones and others are setting up lights. Paige is cleaning the bar. Piper is walking around giving people orders.)
Piper: Move the speakers up a little bit. That's good. No, you can't set the lights there. Move them back. (She runs over to Paige.)
Paige: Maybe you should let them put the stuff where they want to. It is their stuff.
Piper: I know. I just want it to look good. I mean, it's Linkin Park. Linkin Park doesn't play here every day.
Paige: Don't worry. It'll be perfect. (The phone rings and Paige picks it up.) P3, how can we......... Oh, Phoebe, why are you calling? Just a second. She wants you to talk to you. (She gives the phone to Piper and walks over to one of the crewmen.)
Piper: What is it now? You want me to do what?
Phoebe: (over the phone.) I need you to freeze the place so you can put me on speaker. I just had a premonition.
Piper: Phoebe, I'm kinda busy here.
Phoebe: (over the phone.) I know, but it's important. You won't believe it. (Piper sighs and freezes the place. Paige turns around.)
Paige: What did you do that for? He was just giving me Chester's number.
Piper: You can wait. (Paige opens her mouth.) We got problems. Our kind of problems. (She presses the speaker button and hangs up on the phone.) Ok, Phoebe, go ahead.
Phoebe: (o.s.) I had a premonition and in it Patience was being attacked.
Paige: So what? I think she can handle it.
Phoebe: (o.s.) Not this. It was a demon. And not just your average, muscle-head demon. (Pause)
Piper: Phoebe? What did you see?
Cut to: [Phoebe's office.]
Phoebe: I saw her being strangled by Belthazor.
Paige: That's impossible. The only way it could be him is if Cole was alive, and we vanquished him ages ago.
Piper: (over phone.) Are you sure your powers aren't going haywire?
Phoebe: Piper, you know that my premonitions are related to the things I touch, and in this case..... I was touching the old photo of me and Cole.
Cut to: [P3.]
Paige: You still have that thing. (Piper looks at her.) What? I thought she burned that thing.
Phoebe: (o.s.) I just want to make sure it doesn't happen. Can one of you go home and check on her?
Paige: Why can't you do it?
Phoebe: (o.s.) Because my boss is on her period. Please can you just do this?
Paige: I guess I can go. But you owe me.
Phoebe: (o.s.) Thanks, Paige. I'll see you at home in about half an hour. Oh. It happened in the basement so try to keep her out of there. Bye. (She hangs up. Piper picks the phone back up.)
Piper: Back in position. (Paige runs back to the crewman. Piper unfreezes the place.)
Paige: I have to go. I just remembered I forgot something at my house. (She runs off to the back room.)
Crewman: But I haven't given you the phone number. (She closes the door and orbs out.)
Piper: I'm glad someone has time to worry about their kids.
Cut to: [Manor. Attic.]
(Patience is meditating trying to pick up a premonition. She opens her eyes.)
Patience: Damn it. Why can't I get anything? (She walks to the Book of Shadows. She turns the pages and then gasps. She sees Belthazor in the basement. The premonition ends. She looks down and she's holding the Belthazor page. She shimmers out.)
Cut to: [Basement.]
(Patience shimmers in and sees no one is there.)
Patience: That's strange. (She starts to shimmer out when she is hit from behind by an energy ball. She falls over and rolls over. Belthazor steps out from beneath the stairs.)
Belthazor: Well, well, well. Little witch all dressed up and nowhere to go. (He throws another energy ball at her but she dodges it.)
Patience: You must be Belthazor. You're not the only one with powers. (She powers up an energy ball and throws it at him and he flies backwards. He groans and gets up. He starts throwing punches at her. She dodges them and tries to kick him but he shimmers out.) I know you're still here. Why don't you finish what you started? (He shimmers behind her and grabs her around the neck. He turns her around and starts strangling her.)
Belthazor: I think I will. (He lifts her off the ground and she starts making choking sounds. Paige runs downstairs and sees Belthazor.)
Patience: (in a gasping voice.) Please, Cole. It's me. (She gasps and faints. Belthazor drops her.)
Paige: It can't be. (He orbs out and she runs to Patience. She checks her pulse.) Leo! (Leo orbs in with Piper and Phoebe.) Hurry, Leo. She doesn't have a pulse. (He puts his hands over Patience's neck and starts to heal her.)
Phoebe: Oh my god.
Piper: What happened?
Paige: Belthazor attacked her.
Leo: What?
Paige: Just keep healing her. (He continues but the hand marks are disappearing slowly.)
Phoebe: What's taking so long?
Leo: I don't know. (The hand marks on Patience's neck are almost gone but something strange happens. Lightning starts coming out of his hands and he struggles to continue. Finally, he flies back and hits the wall behind him. Piper goes up to him.)
Piper: Are you alright?
Leo: Yeah, I think so. (Phoebe is holding Patience's head and she starts to cough.)
Phoebe: You ok?
Patience: Yeah. (She continues to cough.) Belthazor tried to kill me. (Paige notices that Patience still has hand marks on her neck.)
Cut to: [Tempus's Lair.]
(Belthazor shimmers in. Tempus looks at him.)
Tempus: I see you had to use your demon form, and still you didn't kill her.
Belthazor: You said I didn't have to kill her... (He changes back to Cole.)
Cole: Just defeat her.
Tempus: Is there a reason why you held back at the last moment. Five more seconds and the whitelighter wouldn't have been able to heal her. So for now, you can do whatever you want. I got you your old penthouse back so you can stay there. I also got you a job as a layer. (He starts to walk away.) Oh, if you ever need a favor, don't hesitate to call. (He walks out of the room. Cole shimmers out as well.)
Cut to: [Penthouse.]
(The penthouse is empty. Cole shimmers in and walks around.)
Cole: Time to go shopping.
Cut to: [Manor. Living room.]
(Patience is sitting on the couch rubbing her neck and Phoebe brings her a glass of water. She takes the glass and takes a drink.)
Patience: Thanks. (Phoebe sits next to her and puts an arm around her.)
Phoebe: You sure you're ok?
Patience: Yeah. I've been in tighter spots.
Paige: You're lucky you're still here to talk about it. Belthazor is a pretty bad demon.
Patience: I know. (Everyone looks at her.) I-I read about him in the Book of Shadows. Too bad I couldn't have gotten a piece of his flesh.
Piper: Yeah, then we could have made a vanquishing potion.
Paige: Maybe we'll have to make more than one.
Phoebe: What?
Paige: Piper, Leo, Phoebe, could I talk to you in the kitchen? (They all follow her.)
Cut to: [Kitchen.]
(They all walk through the door and Paige makes sure they're out of ear shock.)
Phoebe: Paige, what's going on?
Paige: Listen, I know this might sound crazy, but I think Patience isn't just a witch.
Piper: What do you mean?
Paige: I think she might be a demon.
Phoebe: WHAT? Paige, are you out of your mind?
Paige: Just listen ok? All I know is she's not normal.
Phoebe: None of us are normal, that doesn't make us demons.
Paige: How else could've she survived Belthazor?
Phoebe: You don't even know if it was him.
Piper: Could you two calm down?
Paige: It was your premonition. And even if she wasn't a demon, why couldn't Leo heal her?
Phoebe: He did heal her, right?
Leo: Well, actually, I only healed part of her. So what Paige is saying makes a little sense.
Phoebe: I can't take this. (She starts walking out the door.)
Piper: Where are you going?
Phoebe: (Almost out the door.) Back to work. (She slams the door behind her and the keys on the key hanger fall off.)
Piper: Well, that went well.
Leo: Do you really think she's a demon?
Paige: At least half of her. She is part witch. Oh my god, I just had a really scary thought.
Piper: Now what?
Paige: Well you know how Belthazor's back?
Piper: You're kidding, right? (Paige shakes her head.) Oh my god.
Leo: What? (The girls go to the living room and Leo follows.)
Cut to: [Living room.]
Piper: Great, she's gone.
Paige: Now what?
Piper: I have an idea.
Cut to: [Phoebe's office. Night time.]
(Phoebe is sitting at her desk typing up advice. She suddenly stops and opens a drawer in her desk. She pulls the picture of her and Cole out. She holds it tightly and closes her eyes, trying to get a premonition. Nothing happens. She opens her eyes and puts it back.)
Phoebe: I couldn't control my powers before. Why should I be able to control them now? (Suddenly, someone puts their hand over her mouth and grabs her. She screams and they shimmer out.)
Cut to: [Cole's Penthouse.]
(Patience walks around with her eyes closed trying to get a premonition. The penthouse is full of furniture now.)
Patience: He must be back. He must have gotten a good job, too. (She sees a picture of Phoebe and Cole. The same one Phoebe has.) They must have really loved each other. (She grabs the picture and closes her eyes. She gasps. She has a premonition. She opens her eyes.) Maybe not enough. (She shimmers out.)
Cut to: [Manor. Kitchen]
(PUFF! Something explodes in a pot. Paige is stirring a potion. Piper gets a container out of the fridge and brings it over to the pot.)
Piper: I can't believe you saved Cole's flesh. That's so gross. (Paige grabs a pig's foot.) Yuck!
Paige: You seen demons explode right before your eyes and you're grossed out by a foot?
Piper: I hate pig's feet. Remind me to go vegetarian.
Leo: How's the vanquish going? (Paige drops the pig's foot in the pot and it explodes.)
Piper: Poor piggy.
Paige: Almost done. All we have to do is say the spell and add the demon flesh. (She grabs the spell.) Ready?
Piper: Yep.
Leo: Wait, don't you need Phoebe?
Piper: It's not a power of three spell so it should work. Besides, I don't think Phoebe's in a helping mood right now. Let's do it.
Paige/Piper: Spirits of air, forest and sea; Set us of this demon free; Beasts of hoof and Beasts of shell; Drive this evil back to Hell!
Paige: Stand back! (They all step back and she throws the demon flesh in the pot. This time it makes a huge explosion.) I just hope this is for good this time. (She pours it in a vile.)
Piper: Before we can vanquish him, we need to summon him. (They go into the dining room, flip a table over and get the spell out.) Brace yourself. Leo, maybe you should go look after Wyatt and Chris just in case. (He orbs out.)
Paige/Piper: Magic forces black and white, reaching out through space and light, Be he far or be he near, Bring us the demon Belthazor here. (A swirl of wind appears and an outline appears. The girls look over the table and get the potion ready. Patience appears and the girls look disappointed.)
Patience: Hey. I guess you weren't expecting me.
Piper: I don't get it. How did we end up summoning her?
Paige: Wait a minute. You said once you got another demon when you tried to summon Belthazor once. So maybe...
Patience: It's about time you figured it out. So when did you figure it out?
Paige: Just about a couple minutes ago, and I can't believe Phoebe trusted a demon.
Patience: Half-demon, thank you. So why don't you summon the real demon?
Paige/Piper: Magic forces black and white, reaching out through space and light, Be he far or be he near, Bring us the demon Belthazor here. (A swirl of wind appears again and an outline appears. The girls get the potion ready. This time Belthazor appears with Phoebe. She's bond and gagged. He has an athame at here throat.)
Piper: Phoebe!
Belthazor: Bet you weren't expecting this. (Patience begins to walk towards him and he moves the athame closer to her neck.) Ah, ah, ah. I wouldn't come any closer if I were you, unless you want to clean up all her blood. (She stops.)
Patience: You wouldn't. You don't have it in you.
Paige: What is she talking about?
Piper: Hurry. Throw the potion while he's distracted. (Paige throws the potion at him. But just before it hits him, an energy ball hits it and it explodes. The sisters look at Patience and she's holding out her hand. She destroyed the potion.) Why did you do that?
Paige: She's working for him, that's why. There's more in the kitchen.
Patience: Don't bother. I poured the rest of it down the drain. That's where I was when you summoned me. (Phoebe makes a whimpering sound and shakes her head.) That's right, Phoebe, I am a demon. But that's not all. (She pauses and looks at Belthazor.) Let her go, Cole. (Belthazor changes into Cole and Phoebe screams.)
Cole: How do you know me? Did you read about me in the book?
Patience: No. I know you personally, and I'll tell you about how we're related if you let her go. Then you can have another go at me.
Cole: Well, I suppose I could do that. (He takes the cloth off of Phoebe's mouth.) This won't take to long. (He cuts the ropes and she runs to her sisters' side.) You ready?
Patience: Ready to kick your ass. (They start fighting. Patience dodges him hits him in the face. She tries to kick him but she misses and he hits her in the face. They continue fighting and Phoebe tries to join her but the Piper and Paige hold her back.)
Piper: She needs to do this by herself. (Phoebe watches in fear as her daughter continues to fight her ex. Patience almost has Cole when he takes his athame and stabs her in her side. Phoebe gasps. Patience gasps, too, but she's not done. She makes and throws an energy ball at Cole and it hits him in the stomach. He goes flying back and he hits the table. Patience pulls the athame out. She makes a noise of pain and walks over to Cole. She puts the athame up to his neck ready to make the kill.)
Cole: Go ahead. Do it. You know you want to. (Patience pauses and pulls the athame away.)
Patience: Why would I want to kill my own father?
Phoebe: WHAT?
Paige: Told you. (Patience pulls Cole off the floor and hugs him. He looks surprised.)
Patience: It's great to see you, dad. (Cole looks down. Hesitantly, he hugs his daughter.)
Phoebe: But if you're my... and you're his... that means we're... oh my god. (She looks like she's about to faint.)
Patience: I didn't know how to tell you this but... you and Cole are my parents. That means in the future you're... married. (Phoebe opens and closes her mouth making small sounds.) So that means that you and Cole had...
Phoebe: (interrupts.) EW! Don't even say that. I think I'm gonna be sick.
Piper: Wow. They actually get married? But I thought we vanquished you.
Cole: I've been brought back by a spell.
Paige: What kind of spell? (He shimmers out.) Thanks a lot. He's like a cat with nine lives.
Patience: That's why I came here, to prevent him from being vanquished again. This is his last chance. You see, I had a premonition when I touched this. (She pulls out the picture of Phoebe and Cole.) I saw Cole come her with Phoebe and you vanquishing him with a potion. But when you threw the potion, it didn't just kill Cole, it killed Phoebe, too. I had to stop it not for just my future but for Cole, Phoebe, and the power of three. I'm sorry I had to tell you this way, mom. I'm really sorry. (She turns around and shimmers out.)
Paige: Where do you think she went?
Piper: Probably to find Cole. (She looks at Phoebe. She looks really white.) Hey, you ok?
Phoebe: I don't know yet.
Cut to: [P3. About Midnight.]
(Linkin Park is playing Crawling. Everyone is dancing and having a good time. Paige is working at the bar. Leo walks up to her.)
Paige: Hey, how are you?
Leo: Good. Is Piper her?
Paige: No, she's at home looking after Wyatt and Chris. I think she decided that her family is way more important than work.
Leo: What about you? Are you thinking about a different job?
Paige: No. For now I think I'll stay here. (Jason walks up.) Jason. What a surprise.
Jason: Yeah. Um, is Phoebe here?
Paige: No. I'm not sure where she is.
Jason: Oh. Well, thanks. I was hoping to talk to her.
Paige: I'll tell her you stopped by.
Jason: Thanks. Hey, Leo. (He walks away.)
Leo: Hey. So, where is Phoebe really?
Paige: She's at the office. I think she needs some alone time right now. It would suck to be in that position. She's living a great life when all of the sudden she finds out that her ex is back and that they have a kid together.
Leo: I hope she figures it out.
Paige: Well, I got some good news. (She pulls out a piece of paper.) I got Chester's number from him, and after the show's done, I'm gonna call him. (Linkin Park starts playing Breaking The Habit. Everyone starts dancing again. The scene fades out into Phoebe's office and the music fades away.)
Cut to: [Phoebe's office.]
(Phoebe is sitting at her desk reading the letter from Scared in San Francisco. She is lost in thought. She hears a knock on the door and looks up.)
Phoebe: Jason? (She looks disappointed when she sees Patience.)
Patience: I guess you were expecting someone else. Can I come in?
Phoebe: Sure. (Patience walks in and sits down.)
Patience: I suppose you really don't want to talk to me right now. After all, I did kind of ruin your life.
Phoebe: You didn't... Ok, so you might have turned me in a different direction. I can't believe you didn't tell me.
Patience: I wasn't going to tell you at all. I knew you would get upset, but things got mixed up so... I'm really sorry.
Phoebe: Sometimes sorry isn't enough.
Patience: I know you don't wanna hear this but you and dad love each other so much. It's like nothing I've seen before. Cole loves you so much, and I know buried deep down inside that demon-ass kicking witch, you still love him, too, mom. (She gets up and hugs her.) I love you. (She shimmers out. Phoebe thinks a little and starts typing. We hear her think what she types.)
Phoebe: (thinking.) Dear Scared, Just follow your heart. If you really love him and he really loves you, you'll know what the right decision is. (She smiles and takes her reading glasses off. She says aloud.) Thanks, Patience.
The End.
