Scene: Halliwell
manor. Prue and Paige are looking through photo albums.
Paige: There aren't any pictures of me growing up.
Prue: That seems impossible. I mean you weren't exactly camera shy.
Paige: Yeah, well neither were you and Piper, or you and Grams, or you and Phoebe, or you and your dad. Oh look, there's another one of you and Piper.
Prue: Okay, there's a picture of you and Grams.
Paige: Oh, wasn't I cute!
Prue: Here's one of you and mom.
Paige: Wow, I don't even remember that. What was I, about one? (Prue nods.) She died on us a few months later.
Prue: Paige.
(Piper enters the room.)
Piper: Okay, alright, I need a pen and paper. (She tries to open a drawer but it's stuck.) Quick, we don't have a lot of time. (Paige hits it twice and kicks it and the drawer opens.) I always wondered how you got into my candy drawer.
Paige: Yeah, too bad all the candy's gone.
Piper: I thought it would be easy for us to just write him a note.
Prue: Who him?
Piper: You know, what's his name. (The doorbell rings.) Grandma's little friend comes every year, same day, same time. Says you know, the flowers are from a secret admirer when it's obvious he's the admirer. (She opens the door.) Hi, come on in. (The clock chimes in the background) How are you?
Man: Flowers for Miss Penny Halliwell. (He goes to hand them to Piper but he drops them and Piper freezes him and the flowers.) Every year. What a klutz. At least this year I can freeze him so I can spare myself the clean up.
Paige: Why did you want to write him a note?
Piper: To tell him Grams is dead.
Prue: Oh, you're gonna break his heart.
(Piper gets the vase of flowers that's frozen in the air. The man unfreezes. Phoebe walks in.)
Man: Five chimes.
Piper: Excuse me?
Man: I only heard five chimes. It's noon. That means you froze me. Which means you have your powers at last.
Piper: Uh, I don't know what you're talking about Mister, but thanks for the flowers, okay, bye.
Nicholas: Call me Nicholas. Your mother did. (He puts on a ring and he becomes younger.) I had to appear to age over the years otherwise you would of become suspicious.
Prue: What?
Nicholas: You see, twenty-four years ago today, your mother and I made a pact to spare her life, she gave up your future powers to me. She blessed this ring. Which gave me immunity from your powers. (Piper tries to freeze him.) Immunities so that I could kill you and take the powers on for my own. To become invincible.
Prue: Our mother would never give away our powers.
Nicholas: She didn't have much of a choice. Your blood is boiling. Soon your lungs will sear. (He points the ring at them and they double over in agony.) Your organs will over heat and death will come.
(Phoebe kicks him in the leg and he falls over. The Charmed Ones form a circle and Paige orbs them to the attic.)
Prue: Why would mom make a deal like that?
Piper: More importantly, what are we gonna do?
Paige: Wait, I think I found a spell. To unbind a bond.
Nicholas: (from downstairs) You can't run from me!
Prue: Okay, we have no choice.
Phoebe: Okay, Paige, hurry!
Paige: Okay. "The bond which was not to be done, give us the power to see it undone, and turn back time to whence it was begun!" (Twinkling lights encircled them, they disappear for a few seconds and reappear in the same spot.) Did it work?
Prue: Nothing happened.
(A phone rings from downstairs. Phoebe opens the attic door.)
Phoebe: Who's phone is that?
Piper: Not ours.
Female Voice: (from downstairs) Halliwell residence.
Piper: You go.
Phoebe: Nah-uh, you go.
Piper: Nah-uh, Paige goes.
Paige: No way! Prue goes! (They push Prue out the door.)
Cut to the stairs. Prue sees her Penny, her grandmother, talking on the phone.)
Penny: I beg your pardon. Well, Donna, I'm hurt just hurt that you would suspect my little angels of such a thing.
Prue: (to herself) Grams?
(Little Prue and Little Piper run past Grams.)
Penny: Prue. Uh, just a moment Donna. (She covers the mouth piece.) Prue, Piper, girls, don't run in the house. (She uncovers the mouth piece.) Yes, yes. (A loud crying erupts.) Donna, I'll have to call you back. (Penny hangs up the phone and walks over to a small playpen, where she picks up a bawling Little Phoebe, and begins to rock her.) Shh, there there, Phoebe. Grams is here.
(Prue goes back in the attic.)
Piper: What did you see?
Phoebe: The warlock?
Prue: No. Us.
Scene: They are still in the attic. Paige is looking through the Book Of Shadows.
Piper: How do we know we're back in time? What if we just brought the past to us accidentally. We've done it before.
Prue: Piper, look around. What do you see?
Piper: A messy attic like always.
Prue: No. Not just like always. We have a black light, a type writer, eight track tapes and a pet rock. I mean we got rid of this stuff years ago, remember?
Piper: And you saw us? As kids?
Prue: Yeah.
Piper: This can't be happening. I'm getting a migraine.
Paige: Better not, I don't think Advil's been invented yet. And apparently neither has the spell. It's not in here anywhere.
Piper: But we just cast it, that's how we got back...here.
Phoebe: Yeah, well, wherever here is, it's before the spell was written.
Prue: So, there's nothing in here about how to get back to our own time?
Paige: Nothing. Uh, let me be the first to say we're screwed.
Prue: No, okay, at least we're alive, I mean if we stayed in our own time Nick would of killed us. We barely got away as it was...is...will be...you know I've never been good at tenses.
Piper: Well, Grams is right downstairs, maybe we should just tell her who we are.
Phoebe: And say what? "Hi, we're the ghosts of grandchildren future!" Come on, even Grams is going to have a little trouble with that.
Piper: Plus, she has that heart condition.
Paige: Okay, fine, so we need another plan, but first we need to get out of the house.
Cut to Prue, Piper, Phoebe, and Paige sneaking downstairs. Grams is talking on the phone.
Grams: You're talking to fast, Patty, sweetheart, slow down.
Piper: Patty?
Prue: Mom.
Grams: Orbing? That's impossible! Only whitelighters have the power to orb!
Phoebe: But I thought you said mom's power was to freeze time?
Prue: It is...was...you know what I mean.
Grams: Maybe you should go see a doctor.
(Piper picks up the other phone.)
Patty's Voice: I don't need to go to the doctor, mom!
Prue: Piper!
Patty's Voice: I need you to listen to what I'm saying.
(Paige, Phoebe, and Prue listen in on the conversation too.)
Piper: She's talking to mom.
Patty: I can't explain it either mom. It just happened. This demon threw a fireball at me and I raised my hands to freeze it, then I felt a twinge in my stomach, and bam! I know I orbed, mother! Sam has orbed me enough times to know what it feels like!
Paige: Do you really think that's mom's voice?
Piper: Yes.
Penny: Are you still nauseous? Why don't, why don't you come home from Buddies.
Patty's Voice: I can't. And it was real.
(Penny hangs up the phone.)
Prue: Okay, let's get out of here. (They walk down the stairs.)
Penny: (from another room) Prudence! Piper!
(Little Prue and Little Piper run through the room. Little Prue moves a couch across the doorway.)
Little Piper: No fair, using magic.
Piper: Whoa!
Prue: Wait, we had powers back then?
Phoebe: Oh, this is freaky. (They walk into the room where Little Prue and Little Piper are standing.)
Prue: Hey.
Little Prue: Hi. (She points to Prue's freckle that's on her face.)
Prue: You got one too. Come here. (Prue gives her a big hug. Penny walks in the room, holding Little Phoebe.)
Penny: How many times have I told you girls... (She sees Prue, Piper, Phoebe, and Paige.)
Prue: Um, Grams, we can explain.
Grams: "Warlocks be gone!" (Prue, Piper, Paige, and Phoebe fly out of the house.)
Cut to outside. They run down their street.
Prue: Grams definitely had her power down.
Paige: She is one scary witch.
Phoebe: But that didn't sound like any spell I've evr heard.
Piper: Maybe you get to cheat when you're Grams' age?
Piper: I don't remember having powers at that age do you?
Prue: No, I thought we got them for the first time last year.
Piper: Apparently not. We must of lost them before we could remember having them.
Prue: Yeah, how weird was that seeing us as kids, how bizarre.
(Paige picks up a newspaper.)
Paige: Mom was barely pregnant with me. Here, February twenty-fourth, nineteen-seventy-seven. That's the day that mom made the pact with Nicholas.
Prue: So maybe that's why the spell sent us back here, to stop the pact.
Piper: Which means it could be the only way for us to get back to our own time. We've got to go see mom and warn her about Nicholas.
Prue: Yeah, but we have to do a better job of convincing mom then we did Grams. This time we have to use our powers.
Piper: The problem is she's probably on the lookout for four warlocks now.
Prue: Well, then maybe only two of us should approach her just in case.
Phoebe: Well, since I don't have any powers to show mom I think it should be two of you guys. I'll just stand outside and watch for Nicholas.
Piper: That doesn't seem fair to you Phoebe, not being able to see mom.
Phoebe: I know, it's not, but I got over that a long time ago. I don't need to see her now. Really, it's okay. We better get going before we miss her.
Scene: Buddies. Piper and Paige enter.
Piper: Whoa, scary. Buddies has not changed a bit. Wouldn't... didn't...
Paige: Give it up, I know what you mean. I don't see mom anywhere do you?
Piper: No.
Paige: Piper. (They see Patty walking out of the kitchen.)
Piper: Mom.
Paige: She's so beautiful.
Piper: Yeah, she is.
Paige: I don't remember her working here.
Piper: Yeah, with my dad gone, she had to pay the bills somehow. I remember she used to come home late at night and she'd kiss me and she always smelt like burgers.
Paige: You're lucky, you have memories of mom.
Piper: I'm sorry Paige.
Paige: It-it's okay. Here she comes.
Piper: What do we do if she recognizes us?
Paige: Um, you freeze the place and when she sees that we don't freeze either than she'll believe us when we tell her who we are.
Piper: Okay, how do I look?
Paige: Great.
Patty: Ready to order? (They just stare at her.) Take your time, I'll come back.
Piper: No, wait. We're ready aren't we Paige?
Paige: Ah, pages! Um, pages! She wants to know if you have any pages. Like, pages of a menu.
Patty: Menus, sure! Yeah, I think so. I just started here, I'll go check.
Paige: No! She can order something else.
Patty: Have we met before? You look familiar.
Paige: Yeah, so do you.
(Piper tries to freeze everyone several times but her power won't work.)
Paige: (whispering to Piper) What's the matter?
Piper: (whispering) It's not working. You try.
Paige: (whispering) I'm not gonna orb in public!
Piper: (whispering) Okay, how is this possible?
Woman: Patty, phone!
Patty: Oh, okay, thanks. I'll uh, be back.
Piper: Wait! We know you're pregnant.
Patty: What?
Piper: This is going to sound really weird but we're actually your...
Paige: Cousins. From outta town.
Piper: Right, cousins. And we need to tell you something about the baby that you're carrying.
Patty: Not that this is any of your business, but I can't get pregnant anymore. Medically impossible. Excuse me. (She leaves.)
Piper: I panicked. I thought, you know, close family would know she was pregnant.
Paige: Yeah, well, not only does she not know that she's pregnant, she doesn't even think she can get pregnant.
Piper: Yeah, well, we got bigger problems. We have no powers which means we have no way of stopping Nicholas.
Paige: Yeah, how do you not have powers? I mean Little Prue and Little Piper, they have powers. And I'm willing to bet that Little Phoebe does too.
Piper: I don't know. Maybe only one set of us can have powers at the same time in the same time?
Paige: Thank you, Mr. Spock.
Cut to Patty talking on the phone.
Patty: I was working mother, that's why I couldn't take your call.
Cut to Penny.
Penny: Patty, have you seen four strange women hanging around?
Cut to Patty.
Patty: No.
Cut to Penny.
Penny: Well they were just here! Four warlocks, and one of them had a hold of Prue!
Cut to Patty.
Patty: Little girls okay!
Cut to Penny.
Penny: For now, thanks to me.
Cut to Patty.
Patty: I'm coming right home. (Patty hangs up, leaves out the door, and bumps into Phoebe.)
Phoebe: Oh, oh.
Patty: I'm so sorry.
Phoebe: Oh, no, it's totally my fault. (They bend down to pick up her stuff. Phoebe realizes it's her mother.)
Patty: I'm such a klutz sometime.
Phoebe: Really? So am I.
Patty: Yeah?
Phoebe: Yeah. Crackers?
Patty: Upset stomach.
(Phoebe sees a cigarette packet.)
Phoebe: Uh, you know you shouldn't be smoking these now. It's bad for Pa...your upset stomach.
Patty: You're very sweet. Thanks. I gotta go.
Phoebe: So soon?
Patty: Excuse me?
Officer: Is everything alright?
Patty: Yeah, thanks officer.
Phoebe: Oh my God, Nicholas.
Patty: I'm late. Thanks again. (She leaves.)
Phoebe: Excuse me. How do you get to Berkley?
Nicholas: Get outta my way.
(Phoebe kicks him and throws his keys on the road. She runs around the building to Prue, who is keeping watch on the other side.)
Prue: Phoebe, what are you doing?
Phoebe: Nicholas is here.
Piper: What? Where?
Phoebe: On the other side of the building! (They run into Buddies.)
Paige: Prue? Phoebe?
Phoebe: Nicholas is here!
Piper: Oh my God!
Phoebe: Run!
Scene: Paige, Prue, Piper, and Phoebe are walking down their street.
Piper: Is Nicholas wearing his ring?
Phoebe: I don't know. I don't think so.
Piper: It's a good thing you were there Pheebs, that's probably when Nicholas was gonna make his moves on mom.
Phoebe: I know I don't think so otherwise we'd be I our own time by now.
Prue: Hey, are you alright?
Phoebe: Yeah, uh, just seeing mom for the first time and talking to her, I just didn't expect to feel so...
Prue: Feel what, good?
Paige: Overwhelming?
Phoebe: Yes! Overwhelming! It's just so...
Paige: Wow.
Phoebe: Exactly. (They arrive outside the Manor.)
Piper: Well, mom's car is here, at least we know where she is.
Prue: Yeah, but the question is, how do we get to her? Grams must of told her about us by now. She probably thinks we're the warlocks.
Piper: Our only option is to wait for Nicholas to show. But what are we going to do without our powers?
Prue: Wait, Paige, can you orb?
(Paige closes her eyes and then opens them.)
Paige: Nope.
Piper: But remember what mom said on the phone?
Phoebe: She thought she orbed!
Paige: It must've been me!
Prue: But if Unborn Paige has her powers, then that must be why you don't have them.
Phoebe: Well, technically you still have your powers. If you count Little Prue and Little Piper. We need our powers and they have them. Come on.
Cut to them coming in the back door.
Phoebe: Coast is clear.
Piper: What if Grams catches us?
Prue: She'll kill us before Nicholas has a chance.
Paige: She won't catch us. Observe. (She opens the heating duct and they can hear Penny and Patty talking.)
Patty's Voice: You said yourself the girls are safe with you. Besides, I want to go.
Penny's Voice: You are making a big mistake Patty, The Elders are going to catch you and Sam!
Prue: How did you...
Paige: Heating duct to upstairs. I used to listen to you guys for hours. Especially when you used to sneak Andy up to your bedroom in high school.
Prue: Oohh...Okay, you stay here and keep tabs on them, we're gonna try and find the little girls.
Cut to other room.
Little Prue: That's my doll.
Little Piper: You gave it to me.
Little Prue: No I didn't. You stole it.
Prue: That's true. You did steal it.
Piper: I did not.
Prue: Yes you did.
(Little Prue uses her powers to take the doll from Little Piper.)
Piper: Hey, that's not fair.
Little Prue: You came back.
Prue: Yes, we did and we're gonna keep it a secret right?
Little Prue: Okay.
Prue: Okay.
Little Prue: (to Prue) You're pretty.
Prue: So are you.
Piper: Oh, give me a break.
Little Piper: Grams said you're bad people.
Piper: No, no, no. We're good people. We're uh, just like you.
Prue: Yeah, we're family.
Cut to Phoebe and Paige.
Patty's Voice: He sent me a note. He asked me to stop by his hotel after my shift.
Paige: My dad?
Penny's Voice: You know it was doomed from the start. Witches and whitelighters are forbidden to be together!
Patty's Voice: I love him!
Penny's Voice: It doesn't matter! They'll catch you and it will endanger us all.
Patty's Voice: Look, it can't hurt to talk right? In fact, I'll cast a cloaking spell, so The Elders can't see us.
Phoebe: It sounds like mom really loved your dad.
(Paige wipes a tear from her eye.)
Paige: Yeah..
Penny's Voice: Well just so you know, I'm one-hundred percent against this.
Patty: Noted, mother.
Cut back to Prue, Little Prue, Little Piper, and Piper.
Little Prue: We're not suppose to go places with strangers.
Prue: Yes, but we're not strangers, Prue. You're safe with us and I know that you know in your heart that you can trust us.
Little Piper: If you're really family prove it.
Piper: Prove it? How the hell are we suppose...
Prue: Piper!
Little Piper: Piper. Your name's Piper too?
Piper: Uh, yeah, and not only do we have the same name... (she hits and kicks the draw and it opens) but we also have the same secrets.
Prue: Okay, follow me.
(Little Andy runs in.)
Little Andy: Freeze!
Little Piper: Okay, Andy.
Piper: No, wait!
(Little Piper freezes Andy. Prue and Piper suppress the urge to burst out in laughter.)
Little Prue: I'm telling mom. You're not suppose to freeze people.
Little Piper: But he said to.
(Paige comes in.)
Paige: Prue, Piper, mom's coming down... (she notices that Andy's frozen) Oh, boy.
(Patty and Penny are coming down the stairs.)
Penny: Fine, if you must go, go. I can't stop you but I also can't promise I won't teach the a new spell.
Patty: Can't you bake cookies with them like all the other grandmothers?
Penny: The recipes they learn from me don't come from Betty Crocker, dear.
Patty: Bye girls, love you.
(Andy unfreezes.)
Little Andy: (to Paige) Whoa, where'd you come from?
Paige: Don't ask. Okay, we gotta go fast.
(Phoebe rushes in.)
Phoebe: Grams is coming!
Penny: Prudence. Piper.
Prue: Go, go, go, go!
Piper: Shh, shh, shh. (They run towards the door.)
Little Andy: I wanna go too.
Phoebe: No, Andy, you have to stay here.
Little Andy: No!
Piper: Okay, we got it, we got it.
Phoebe: Oh, Andy is so cute. (Phoebe, Prue, Little Prue, and Paige walk out the door.)
Piper: (to Little Piper) Alright, ready? Freeze him. (They close the door. Little Piper freezes Andy. They open the door again.) Okay, cool. Come on. Let's go, let's go.
Prue: Okay, maybe that's why Andy is so suspicious of us.
Piper: Okay, Grams keeps the keys in the same spot. Yes, good.
(Penny enters the room where Andy is.)
Penny: Oh, Andy. Did Piper freeze you again? Oh, you poor dear. You won't remember a thing. (He unfreezes.) Do you know where the girls went?
Little Andy: I think the strange ladies took them.
Scene: Park.
Prue: Okay, girls. If we see a bad guy what do we do?
Little Prue: She's gonna cry.
Little Piper: Am not. I'm gonna freeze him.
Little Prue: And then I'm gonna move him.
Prue: Okay, then we'll take care of him and then we will all...
Little Prue & Little Piper: Run like the wind!
Prue: Exactly. Alright, so let's give it a try. Ready?
(Prue throws a ball up in the air. Little Piper freezes it and little Prue moves it.)
Little Prue: Can we do it again?
Prue: Yes, yes. Okay, go try it.
Paige: Those girls have major juice. They have control, they can aim.
Prue: Yeah, well, they've had their powers a lot longer than we have. I mean did. I think.
Phoebe: What do you think happened to our powers when we were kids?
Prue: Well, we lost a lot growing up. Somehow we must of lost them too. (Piper comes up to them.)
Piper: I finally found a pay phone. Mom is at work until five and Nicholas is on duty until six.
Prue: Good, at least we know where he is. The girls are ready.
Paige: Well, I'm not.
Prue: Why not?
Phoebe: Mom died before I could grab onto enough to keep her alive in my head. And now she's here alive, pregnant with me. If we stop Nicholas we have to go back to our own time. And there's no mom.
Piper: We don't have much of a choice, Paige.
(A cop car pulls up.)
Cop: Ladies. Is this your car?
Scene: Patty is walking to Sam's room. She knocks on the door.
Sam's Voice: Come in.
Patty: Sam?
(Someone grabs her.)
Patty: Get off me.
(It's Nicholas. He handcuffs her hands together.)
Nicholas: I won't let you freeze me, Patty.
Patty: You!
Nicholas: Call me Nicholas.
Patty: Where's Sam?
Nicholas: Not here. Bait for the hook.
(Patty hits him in the stomach.)
Nicholas: Your blood is boiling, and then death will come.
Patty: What do you want?
Nicholas: What does any warlock want? I want your power Patty. At least I wanted it first. Till I realised you were the mother of The Charmed Ones.
Patty: No, no. You're mistaken. I only have three children.
Nicholas: Oh, but they'll be a fourth child. Why did you orb, Patty? If not from the unborn child inside you. I tapped your phone. And I heard you and your old witch talking about it. And before you try, I've protected this room from whitelighters' powers, so that half breed can't orb you out. (He gets his ring out of a drawer.)
Patty: I beg you. Don't hurt them!
Nicholas: There is another option, Patty.
Scene: Jail.
Piper: I can't believe we got arrested for kidnapping ourselves.
Prue: Yeah, well, it should make for a pretty interesting defence.
Piper: Do you think this is funny? Prue, we're not just stuck in jail, we're stuck in the past.
Prue: Yes, I know Piper, I've been following.
Paige: Uh, bright side?
Phoebe: Uhh, I dare go.
Paige: Well, maybe we could get to know mom better. Or, in my case finally. I mean, if we really are stuck here, we may as well take advantage of it. And maybe we can keep her from dying young this time.
Officer: Five minutes, ma'am.
(Patty comes up to them.)
Patty: How'd you know I was pregnant? Who are you people?
Paige: Your daughters.
Scene: Outside jail.
Patty: Okay, I bailed you out. You just better not be warlocks.
Prue: Well, we wouldn't of need you to bail us out if we were.
Patty: I've seen some magic in my life, but this is a miracle.
Paige: More than you know mom.
Piper: Where are the little ones?
Patty: Home with Grams. I called her before I came here. That's how I knew you were arrested.
Phoebe: Did you tell her about us?
Patty: No. I didn't know what to say. I didn't know who you were myself? You're all so beautiful. More than I ever would of imagined. Paige. Paige. Talk about miracles. I always loved that name. In fact, it probably would have been Piper's name, but Victor didn't like it. But, if you don't like the name I can always change it.
Paige: No. I love it.
Prue: Ah, mom. We cast a spell to come back in time to help you. Stop you.
Patty: To stop me from what?
Prue: From making a pact with a warlock named Nicholas.
Patty: Then you're too late.
Piper: What?
Patty: I thought I was going to see Sam, (to Paige) your father. But it turned out to be a trap.
Prue: Nicholas.
Patty: He tried to kill me. Paige too. I had to give him immunity to your powers in exchange for your lives. I'd rather love you as mortal daughters, than mourn you as dead witches.
Piper: But he's gonna kill us anyway to get our powers.
Patty: Not until Paige's born. And all your powers are complete. I bought us some time in hope that Grams could help us. Oh, she's going to be so thrilled when she sees you. The Charmed Ones. (They hug.)
Scene: Halliwell manor.
Penny: Where was I born?
Patty: Mom.
Penny: I'm still not convinced that they're not warlocks.
Patty: We have a pact to undo. We should be looking for a spell.
Prue: Boston. In a hotel room breach.
Penny: What was my husbands name?
Paige: Which husband?
(Piper and Phoebe laugh.)
Penny: Who's Melinda Warren?
Phoebe: The beginning of our family line. She gave us our powers. Our destiny.
Penny: What's the secret ingredient in my blueberry cobbler?
Piper: Honey and a splash of rum.
Penny: What's IBM selling at in your time?
Patty: Mom!
Penny: What?
Patty: It's not the time for personal gain.
Penny: If they could just nod their heads. Okay, forget it. Well, look at you. All four of you. Oh, Patty, I always knew I'd deliver The Charmed Ones. (Patty glares.) Once removed of course. Prue. (She nods.) Piper. (She waves.) Phoebe. (She gives the peace sign.) And...
Paige: Paige!
Penny: Oh, another 'P'. What a surprise. You're mother always loved that name.
(Little Prue and Little Piper run in. Little Prue is holding a bawling Little Phoebe.)
Little Prue: Mom! Phoebe smells!
(Patty gently takes Phoebe from Little Prue. Paige waves her hand in front of her nose.)
Paige: (to Phoebe) She's right, you know. You do smell. (She waves her hand again.) Whew!
(Phoebe goes to smack Paige, but Paige ducks, and then walks over behind Prue so Phoebe can't reach her.)
Patty: Shh, Phoebe, it's okay. Mama's here. (Little Phoebe's crying lessens, but she's still very upset.) I'll be right back. (Patty waves her hands at Little Prue and Little Piper.) Girls, why don't you go play in the living room, but be careful!
Little Piper: Okay! (Little Piper and Little Prue run off.)
Patty: I'll be right back. (She leaves the room and Paige waves her hand in front of her nose, again. Phoebe glares at her baby sister. Piper clears her throat.)
Piper: About the pact?
Penny: We must keep the girls safe until we can reverse it. I'll have to bind their powers.
Piper: Uh, bind our powers?
Penny: Strip them from the young ones. So Nicholas can't get a hold of them. It doesn't have to be done straight away. As soon as Paige's born. I'll cast a spell and suspend, uh, your powers.
Prue: Um, but that's exactly what you did...or do...will do... you know what I mean.
Piper: Well, that explains why we don't remember having our powers when we were younger.
Penny: What do you mean? Well, how old were you when you got your powers back?
Piper: We just got them.
Penny: What? I unbound your powers without having unbroken the pact? Why would I do that? I mean unless I died which of course automatically...unbind your powers. I guess I'm not going to make it to the next millennium, huh?
(Patty walks back in the room, holding Little Phoebe. Little Phoebe is busily guzzling a warm bottle.)
Paige: Uh, speaking of that, mom...
Penny: No. We mustn't know anymore about the future. You came back for one reason, to break the pact. You mustn't tamper with anything else. It's much too risky. Heaven knows what damage you've already done by coming back here.
Prue: We haven't done anything, we missed our chance to stop the pact.
Penny: And there's a reason for that. Destiny always gets its own way. It's not as easy to change the past as you think. If you do it incorrectly, everything will change. The evil you vanquished, the good that you've done, none of it may've ever happened.
Paige: Well, we have to change this, we can't go back and let him kill us.
Patty: The only way to vanquish him in your time would be for me to unless the ring and take away its immunity. It's in a drawer in his hotel room.
Phoebe: Okay, well, let's go to Nicholas' hotel room and steal back the ring. Hopefully it'll be there.
Patty: No, it's too dangerous, you don't have powers. I'll go.
Prue: If something happened to you, future history could be forever. Just like Grams said. We have to go.
Penny: Well, I'm glad you finally learned to listen to me. You better hurry. In the meantime, I'll write a new spell, so we can get you back to your own time.
Piper: Wait, you can do that?
Penny: We're witches, dear, we can do anything.
Paige: I wish that were true.
Prue: Okay, we need to go.
Patty: Be careful.
Scene: Hotel. Prue and Paige are in front of Nicholas' room. Paige is picking the lock.
Prue: Why am I not surprised that you know how to do this?
Paige: Let's just hope Nicholas isn't inside.
Prue: The concierge says he's not and Piper and Phoebe outside watching for him.
(Paige opens the door and turns on the light.)
Paige: Mom says it's in a drawer.
(Prue looks in a few drawers.)
Prue: Found it. Okay, we gotta get it back to mom.
Scene: Manor. Attic. Prue, Piper, Phoebe, Paige, Penny, and Patty are there.
Prue: We have the ring, here it is.
Piper: Okay, now what?
Penny: Go back to where you belong.
Patty: Then I will unbless the ring and get it back to the hotel before Nicholas finds it missing.
Penny: Now remember, there is no time to lose. You will return at the exact moment you left, which means Nicholas will be there too.
(Paigeis writing a letter. It says, "Mom, Be careful on February 28, 1978, or a warlock will drown you.")
Piper: Hopefully without immunity to our powers.
Prue: We'll be ready. Paige?
Paige: Okay, I'm coming.
Prue: I love you, mom. (Paige puts her letter in the Book Of Shadows.)
Piper: I'm never gonna learn to like lima beans Grams, but thanks for everything else. (They hug.)
Penny: (to Phoebe) You're going to be a handful aren't you?
Phoebe: You'll learn to love me.
Penny: (to Paige) You're a special one, I can tell.
Paige: Thanks, Grams. (They hug and a few tears fill Paige's eyes, then she goes and hugs Patty.) I'm gonna miss you.
Penny: "A time for everything, and to everything its place, return what has been moved, through time and space." (Nothing happens.)
Patty: Let me help. (They both repeat the spell. Twinkling lights encircle Prue, Piper, Phoebe, and Paige; they disappear.)
Penny: You did well, Patty. Oh, they're fabulous.
Patty: Just hope they're safe.
(Paige, Phoebe, Piper, and Prue reappear.)
Prue: Oops.
Penny: What happened?
Piper: We didn't go anywhere. We were just standing here and the next thing we knew...
Paige: We were just standing here.
Patty: I told you to use proper buds.
Penny: It's a perfectly good spell, I mean it moved them through time.
(Prue, Piper, Phoebe, and Paige exchange looks.)
Patty: Yeah, ten seconds.
Penny: I'm telling you, it's not the spell. It must be the power behind the spell, there's not enough power.
Piper: Maybe we need The Power Of Four?
Paige: The only problem is, it doesn't exist yet.
Scene: Grams is looking through the Book Of Shadows.
Penny: Nothing.
Paige: Maybe this is our destiny.
Penny: Not for The Charmed Ones.
Piper: We don't exist yet.
Patty: Yes, yes you do!
Prue: No, not with powers.
Patty: Yes, Little Prue and Little Piper have their powers and when I was pregnant with Phoebe I had premonitions all the time, so has hers. And today I orbed...
Paige: Which is my power...
Patty: So Paige must have hers! If we can teach the girls the chant, maybe the three of us can get you back to your time.
Prue: The Power Of Four, it's worth a try.
Nicholas: (from downstairs) Where are you witches? Where's my ring!
Patty: Nicholas.
Penny: You get the girls, we'll fend him off. (Everyone goes out of the attic except Paige who gets the letter out of the Book Of Shadows.) Come on, Paige!
Cut to the stairs. Nick starts walking up the stairs but Penny uses her powers on him and he flies through the air.
Prue: Oh, Grams don't get too close, his power.
Penny: I know, I know.
Phoebe: We can't risk you being hurt, go upstairs and help mom start the spell.
Prue: Phoebe and I will take care of him. Come on.
(Phoebe goes and kicks Nick in the head. Piper and Paige run into the other room where Little Prue, Little Phoebe, and Little Piper are.)
Paige: Hey, guys, we need to get to the attic! (She walks over to the playpen and picks up Little Phoebe, while Piper gets Little Prue and Little Piper together. Then they rush out of the room.)
Cut to the next room. Phoebe spin kicks Nicholas and he flies into the wall.
Prue: Come on, let's go! (They rush up the stairs.)
Cut to attic. Paige hands Little Phoebe to Patty.
Patty: (to the little girls) We're gonna play a little game okay. Now give me your hands. (She slightly pulls up her shirt, revealing her still flat stomach. She takes Little Phoebe's hand and presses it to her stomach.) Piper, take Phoebe's other hand. (Little Piper takes Little Phoebe's free hand.) Prue, take Piper's free hand and then place your other hand on my tummy. (Little Prue takes Little Piper's free hand and then places her other hand on her mother's flat stomach.) Good.
Piper: Okay, hurry.
Patty: Now, repeat after me. "A time for everything, and to everything its place..."
Little Prue & Piper: "A time for everything, and to everything its place..."
Patty: "Returned what has been moved, through time and space."
Little Prue & Piper: "Return what has been moved, through time and space."
(Prue and Phoebe enter the attic.)
Prue: Alright, we don't have much time.
Piper: What about his ring?
Penny: Don't worry about the ring now. Let's just get you back.
Paige: Well, but it is unblessed right?
Penny: Yes, but there wasn't time to test it.
(Paige gets a camera and takes a picture of Patty, Little Prue, Little Piper, and Little Phoebe.)
Prue: Then how will we know it works?
Penny: You won't. Not until you get back. The time will pick up right where you left off. He won't remember. Goodbye girls. (They all hug.)
Patty, Little Prue, & Little Piper: "A time for everything, and everything its place, return what has been moved, through time and space!"
(Twinkling lights encircle Prue, Piper, Phoebe, and Paige; they disappear and reappear in their own time.)
Prue: It worked, we're back!
(Nicholas is running up the stairs.)
Phoebe: Hurry. (They flip through the Book Of Shadows to find a spell. Nicholas barges through the door.)
Nicholas: Time is up. (Prue uses her powers and Nick flies through the air.)
Prue: Fine. The ring's unblessed.
(Piper freezes him.)
Piper: Paige, find anything?
Phoebe: How about the, "Nicholas Must Die" spell?
Piper: That wasn't there before.
Prue: Well, maybe it's just Grams' way of saying, you know, welcome back... or, or front.
Paige: Pouch included at no extra charge. (Phoebe gets a mortar and pestle.) Uh, "lavender, mimosa, holy thistle..."
(Phoebe pours powder from the pouch into the mortar. It goes up in a puff of smoke.)
Phoebe: Oh dear!
Paige: "Cleanse this evil from our midst, scatter its cells throughout time, let this Nick no more exist!"
(Nick spins around very fast and turns into dust.)
Prue: Wow. I'm really glad I never got on Grams' bad side.
Scene: Prue and Paige are looking at photos. Phoebe's making herself a sandwhich. Piper brings in the vase of flowers.
Paige: I can't stop thinking about mom. I lost her and then I found her again.
Prue: I'm just glad you finally have memories of her.
(Phoebe points to the flowers.)
Piper: What? I'm supposed to throw out perfectly good flowers 'cause they came from a creep? If that was the rule then we'd never have flowers in this house.
Prue: Well, they didn't just come from a creep, they came from a warlock who tried to kill us.
Paige: Still, if it weren't for him, I probably never would of gotten to know mom.
Piper: We all wanted to save mom, Paige, but both mom and Grams said we can't change destiny.
Paige: But, um, I still wrote her a note anyway.
Prue: You did?
Paige: Yes, I wrote her a note telling her to stay away from water on the day that she died. And then I put it in the Book Of Shadows.
Piper: I can't believe you did that!
Paige: You don't understand. Every time I've made a wish, I wished for time with mom. And I believed in my heart that someday, somehow, that wish would come true and when it finally did, I didn't wanna let her go. You know, but then I realized that I had to let her go, so I took the not out and put it in my pocket.
Phoebe: Maturity sucks, doesn't it?
Piper: So faith has its rewards.
(Phoebe shows them the picture that Paige took in the attic.)
Phoebe: It's a pretty good one of us, but once again, not a great one of you, Paige.
Paige: Are you kidding! That is the best picture of me I've ever taken!
