Lizzie's downstairs in the kitchen feeding Emily, and Piper's trying to convince her to talk to Leo.
"He's your father."
"Yes, and a bad one at that."
"Maybe in your future, but here he's a pretty damn good guy."
"I'm not talking to him."
Emily starts crying, sensing the hostility coming from Lizzie and Piper.
"Honey, it's ok. Shhhh…"
"I'll finish feeding her. You need to talk to him."
"I said no!"
Lizzie hears someone behind her. "What did I do that was so bad?"
She turns around and sees Leo. Piper takes Emily into another room, leaving them alone to talk.
"Nothing. You did absolutely nothing. You were never around. Not even when…"
She paused, not wanting to reveal too much.
"When what?"
Lizzie looks into the other room, making sure Piper can't hear.
"Not even when she died."
Leo looks into the next room at Piper, then back at Lizzie.
"Piper? She…dies?"
"In my time, she was killed…by Aetheron. Chris and I called you for hours, but you didn't come."
Leo stood in silence, wondering why he would let Piper die, why he wouldn't answer the desperate calls of his own children. Lizzie leaves the room, trying to hide the tears that were streaming down her cheeks from reliving the whole event in her mind. Leo walks over to Piper, who is playing with Emily.
"What did she say?"
"Oh, uh, nothing important."
"Leo, I know when you're not telling the truth."
"She said Aetheron killed you, and even though she and Chris called me, I didn't come."
"That doesn't sound like you. You always come when you're called."
Chris comes down the stairs, interrupting their conversation.
"Lizzie's upstairs crying, and she won't tell me why."
Piper hands Emily to Leo and walks off.
"I'll talk to her."
Emily looks up at Leo and giggles. Chris smiles.
"She's never met you, yet she knows who you are."
"Hopefully she will know me. Why wouldn't I come to your calls?"
"What?"
"Your sister said when Piper died, I didn't come to your calls.:
"The dad we knew was different than you. As long as you don't change, the future should…hopefully for the better."
Piper finds Lizzie in the attic, looking through the Book of Shadows.
"What are you looking for?"
"I want to go home. Back to the future."
"You can't yet. You shouldn't go without Chris."
"I can't stay here. I suppose Leo's told you about your future."
"It's not my future anymore. We vanquished him before he could me."
"Well then you'll be there when I go back."
"Yeah, and Leo will be too."
"You don't know that."
"No, but I know him. Now that he knows what he's done, or will do, to you guys, he's going to do everything in his power to prevent it."
"We both know some things aren't meant to be."
"Not things like this."
"Fine, then he'll be there. I'm still going."
"But you still have hostility towards him. You need to get over that before you go back."
"And how am I supposed to do that?"
"I don't know. That's for you to figure out."
Piper walks over and takes the Book of Shadows off of its stand.
"I'll just keep this until your ready."
She carries it out of the room, leaving Lizzie angry and frustrated.
Lizzie slowly and quietly walks down the stairs, trying to think of a way to get home. She stops dead in her tracks when she sees Leo playing with Wyatt and Emily, treating her as if she were his own daughter. She can't help but smile at the sight of her father actually being a decent man. Then it hits her, this really is a different Leo. Maybe Piper was right; he might be different in the future after all.
Emily sees her mother and giggles with joy. Once Lizzie realizes she's been caught, sit walks over and sits down next to Leo.
"I'm sorry."
"For what? It's not your fault I turn out to be a bad father."
"No, but I didn't have to be so mean to you. You're obviously not a bad guy now. I should have realized that."
Piper smiles as she sees Lizzie and Leo talking.
"There may be hope for them yet."
Everyone's standing in the attic. Phoebe, Paige, and Piper recite a spell.
"We three witches, in this hour
Call upon the ancient power
Open a portal to help this witch find
Where she belongs in space and time."
The triquetra drawn on the wall opens into a portal. Lizzie and Emily give one last goodbye before stepping through.
When they step out of the portal, they walk into an empty attic. Lizzie sits Emily in the playpen, which looks much older now, and walks over to the window. As she looks out, she sees s dark grey sky.
"Better than the constant night we used to have..."
Then she hears her mother ranting as she walks up the stairs into the attic, talking on her cell phone.
"No, Wyatt, no one's bailing you out this time. You did the crime, you do the time!"
Lizzie tries to figure out what she's talking about, then it hits her. New memories...all at once. Piper bound Wyatt's powers when he robbed a liqour store at age 15.
"No! That's out of the question! You're never getting your powers back! You killed an innocent!" Piper continues over the phone.
Lizzie gets another memory. He's being held at the local police station for being a suspect in a murder investigation.
Piper paces back and forth before finally going back downstairs, all the while still talking to Wyatt. Lizzie looks back at the triquetra on the wall.
"You're half way there Chris..."
