Andy's Apartment
Prue and Ryan teleport in outside Andy's Apartment.
Prue knocks.
"Who is it?" asks Andy, through the door.
"Prue," says Prue, as she hears the door unlock.
Andy opens the door. "Hey, Prue, Ryan. Please, come in!"
"Thanks," says Prue, as she and Ryan enter his apartment.
"So, to what do I owe this pleasure?" asks Andy, smiling.
"We know, Andy," says Ryan.
"Know what?" asks Andy, his smile fading.
"That Amanda restored your memory and cast a spell on you to make you kill Phoebe," says Prue.
"I don't know what you're talking about," says Andy, leaning against the wall and tapping his foot, nervously.
"Andy, you don't have to lie. We know and we understand," says Prue.
Andy sits down on the couch and puts his head in his hands. "I feel so guilty. I never wanted to kill Phoebe. And now I can barely live with myself."
Prue leans down next to him. "Andy, it is not your fault. It is all because of Amanda. She cast the spell on you to make you kill Phoebe, you didn't do it of your own volition. Magic is incredibly powerful and it overpowered you. It is not your fault!"
Prue pulls Andy into a hug.
Ryan watches the scene in front of him. Andy and Prue obviously have chemistry and care for each other. Was their love stronger than his and Prue's?
"Guys, we have to go," says Ryan.
Prue and Andy break the embrace.
"Andy, we need you to come back to our house with us," says Prue.
"Ok," says Andy.
Prue takes Ryan's hand and Andy takes Prue's hand and they teleport to the Manor.
South Bay Social Services
Piper, Leo, Clay, and Kelly are outside.
"Are you sure this is where she works?" Piper asks Kelly.
"Positive, that's what the spell said," says Kelly.
"Ok, well you guys go home. I'll go," says Piper, as she enters.
Leo, Clay, and Kelly orb/teleport out.
Piper walks in and looks around until she sees Paige.
She begins to walk to her cubicle, but Mr. Cowan steps in front of her.
"May I help you?" asks Mr. Cowan.
"Yes, I'm just here to see Paige Matthews," says Piper.
"Is this work related?" asks Mr. Cowan.
"No, it's personal," says Piper.
"Ok," says Mr. Cowan, stepping out of Piper's way.
Piper approaches Paige's cubicle and Paige sees her.
"Piper, hi, what are you doing here?" asks Paige. There are like 5 piles of papers on her desk.
"I'm here to talk to you," says Piper.
"What's up?" asks Paige.
"This," says Piper, as she pulls a baby blanket out of her bag. It appears to be the baby blanket that Patty wrapped each of her daughter's in. It has a P on it.
"Oh My God! Where'd you get that?" asks Paige, not believing her eyes. She recognizes it from the stuff Sister Agnes showed her before.
"It's mine," says Piper.
"But, how?" asks Paige, dumbfounded.
"Let's go back to my house and I'll explain," says Piper.
Paige stares at Piper, amazed. "Just let me tell my boss I'm leaving."
Paige walks into Mr. Cowan's office and then 2 minutes later she walks out.
They begin to leave, when Paige realizes she left something.
"Oh, I left my cell," says Paige. Suddenly, her cell phone appears in her hand, in a swirl of orbs.
"How the hell did I do that?" asks Paige, freaked out. Luckily, no one saw her do that.
"I'll explain everything," says Piper, as she ushers Paige outside and into the car.
Halliwell Manor
Ryan, Prue, and Andy are in the living room, waiting for everyone to return.
"So, how is your relationship going? You guys treating each other well?" asks Andy, breaking the silence.
Prue and Ryan look at each other. They didn't really know what they were doing. They had broken up but since Phoebe died, Ryan's been around.
"It's a little complicated," says Prue.
"Oh, ok," says Andy, smiling weakly. He loves Prue and always will. Will they ever have a chance again?
"Andy, why don't you watch television in here while Prue and I go into the kitchen and talk?" suggests Ryan, handing Andy the remote.
"Ok," says Andy, taking the remote from Ryan and turning the television on.
Prue and Ryan walk into the living room.
"Prue, Andy made me realize that I have no idea what we're doing here," says Ryan.
"What do you mean?" asks Prue, trying to dodge the subject.
"Prue, you know exactly what I'm talking about," says Ryan, looking directly into her eyes. "Before Phoebe died, we broke up. Then, when she died I came back and we haven't said a word about what this means. Are we back together? Are we just friends? Are we trying to work things out?"
"Ryan, I honestly do not know," says Prue, avoiding his gaze. "I did wanna break up before Phoebe died. But, once she died you came back and I took comfort in your presence, your support, and your love. I needed you around when she died."
"Does that mean you wanna get back together?" asks Ryan.
"I do, but…" starts Prue.
"You still can't trust me," says Ryan, finishing her sentence for her.
Prue nods, sadly.
"Prue, I can't keep playing these games. I love you and I wanna be with you more than anything. But, I am not just gonna be here because you're hurting. It isn't fair that you only want me here because I comfort you. Does that mean that once you begin to move on you won't want me around anymore?" asks Ryan, meaning every word of it.
"No, of course not," says Prue, lying. "Ok, well, maybe. I don't know, Ryan."
"Prue, I loved Phoebe too and I will be here for you and Piper these next couple of weeks, but once you guys begin to move on, I'm leaving unless you give me a reason not to," says Ryan, seriously.
Piper walks through the front door. "Prue, I'm home."
Anthony orbs in. "We have a major problem."
Prue looks from Piper to Anthony to Ryan. So many problems, but she had to take it one at a time!
"Anthony, come into the living room and we'll all talk," says Prue, as she walks into the living room. She is falling apart inside. So much was happening at once and it was beginning to overwhelm her!
Anthony and Ryan follow her into the living room.
