"I knew I didn't trust him." Buffy groaned.

"You don't trust any elders." Chris reminded her.

"Yeah, but it was the little things that didn't add up, the power stealing atheme, which being an elder he should have known wouldn't work on me." Buffy began.

"What do you mean?" Leo asked.

"Well, the slayer powers aren't something that can be taken, or stolen. They're nontransferable." Buffy explained. "I mean until the slayer dies but even then her powers aren't gone, not really, they're just awakened in another. Basically I was born with my slayer powers, I was a potential, there are thousands of them out there, and when a slayer dies a potential is called, activated as the next slayer."

"What if your never called." Leo asked.

"Then nothing, your just normal." Buffy replied.

"Paige is calling." Leo said orbing out.

Manor:

"What do you mean Phoebe was shot for parking her car in someone's driveway." Chris exclaimed as Paige tried to calm herself.

"I think we tipped the balance." Buffy said as she stared out the window. "Welcome to crazyville."

"Crazy and happy." Paige replied relived that Leo was able to heal Phoebe.

"So how do we fix this?" Phoebe asked sitting up.

"We restore the balance and the world should return to normal." Leo explained. "But, how I don't know."

"We need to find Piper." Paige said nervously.

"Ok, you guys go, but be careful, don't get shot again." Buffy began as the rushed out the door. "Chris you stay with Wyatt."

"Where are you guys going?" Chris asked.

"Leo and I are gona have a friendly chat with his coworkers." Buffy replied.

Bridge:

"Leo, thank god." The elder began. "We need your help, the world has become out of control."

"Where's Gideon." Leo demanded.

"Leo, you have responsibilities." The elder began.

"He tried to kill my son." Leo exclaimed furiously.

"Yes, we know but, it's not up to you to punish." The elder began.

"Do you know where he is?" Buffy demanded.

"No, we don't but, we have more pressing issues," The Elder replied.

"Do you know how to fix the world." Buffy asked.

"No, but the solution lies in us working together not, running off seeking revenge." The elder replied.

"So basically once again your useless." Buffy said rolling her eyes.

" I can't allow you to do this." He began.

"Well, first of all you can't interfere with what I do, remember." Buffy said grinning and secondly, I'd like to see you try and stop us."

"Leo." he began.

"No, she's right, I will do whatever I have to do to protect my son." Leo replied orbing them back to the Manor.

Manor:

"So?" Chris asked looking up from his scrying.

"Helpful as always." Buffy said sarcastically.

"What do we do now?" Chris began as Paige and Phoebe orbed in.

LEO: What are you doing here? Is Piper ok? (PHOEBE and PAIGE hurry to the Book of Shadows.)

PHOEBE: No, but she will be, thanks to us and our evil twins.

CHRIS: Wait, you saw them? Where? (PHOEBE opens the Book and starts flipping through it.)

PAIGE: In Gideon's office. Talk about your vanity mirrors.

PHOEBE: We have a plan.

PAIGE: Yeah, we're going to shift the world back from Gideon so he can't use it to his

advantage.

LEO: How?

PHOEBE: We're going to use a spell to ... (A white glow washes over PHOEBE and

PAIGE. (PHOEBE chuckles.

PAIGE smiles goofily. Not liking this one bit, CHRIS turns to look at LEO.)

CHRIS: What just happened?

LEO: I don't know. (to PHOEBE and PAIGE) Are you guys all right?

PAIGE: Yeah. Yeah. I've never felt better. (PHOEBE nods.)

CHRIS: Ok, so back to the plan. You were saying?

PHOEBE: Yeah, the plan was just to go see Piper in the hospital. (CHRIS' brow furrows.)

PAIGE: That's a really good plan.

PHOEBE: (giggles) I know. (PAIGE and PHOEBE leave the attic leaving LEO and CHRIS perplexed with what just happened. Any which way, it's not good.) (CHRIS and LEO exchange worried looks.)

CHRIS: Uh-oh.

"Ok, it's not just me right, they've finally lost it." Buffy said concerned.

PHOEBE: No time to dawdle. There's a baby on the way.

LEO: This is crazy. You can't leave like this. (PAIGE turns the corner as she follows PHOEBE down to the ground floor.)

PAIGE: Well, we can't very well ignore Chris' birth. We have to celebrate.

CHRIS: I'm the baby. I give you permission not to.

PAIGE: (o.s.) What? And miss all the excitement? (They all continue to head down the stairs to the ground floor.)

PAIGE: Seeing you for the first time, burping you, picking out a name?

CHRIS: I already have a name.

PAIGE: Oh, gosh. You do, don't you? (exaggerated gasp) Well, now would be the perfect time to change. (LEO walks past them to put WYATT in the playpen. PAIGE and PHOEBE turn around to look at CHRIS.)

PHOEBE: How did you get your name? It doesn't start with a "P."

CHRIS: It was Leo's father's name.

PAIGE & PHOEBE: (both gushily) Aww ...

PHOEBE: ... that is so sweet.

PAIGE: I can't wait to tell Piper. (She gasps.) I'm going to get her bag.

PHOEBE: It's in the kitchen, all ready to go. (PAIGE giddily turns and leaves the room, heading for the kitchen.) (PHOEBE turns to CHRIS.)

PHOEBE: Oh! You are going to be so cute! (baby talk) Yes, you are. Ooh! Yes, you are. Doo-doo, doo doo-doo doo. (She finally turns and walks away leaving CHRIS with an absolutely stunned look on his face.)

CHRIS: Ok. We need to snap them out of this ... fast.

LEO: Piper must have cast a spell. She's the only one who could do this to them.

CHRIS: Why would she do that?

LEO: She wouldn't unless ... Gideon wanted her to, to distract them like he did before, so he can go after Wyatt.

"We need to stop them." Buffy said watching them worriedly. "Do you guys remember Gideon?"

"Of Course, He's an Elder." Paige said smiling brightly.

"We need to stop him, before he kills Wyatt." Chris reminded them.

"Gideon's an elder, he wouldn't hurt Wyatt." Phoebe laughed.

"No he's crazy." Buffy replied.

"You two shouldn't say such things." Phoebe scolded. "Oh, there's the door."

"Don't open it." Leo exclaimed.

"Well why not silly." Paige said opening it and greeting their guest with a smile. "Hey Daryl."

"Hi girls, I'm here for Chris." He replied smiling brightly.

"Oh, I almost forgot he's a fugitive." Phoebe laughed.

"Well, he's right in there." Paige pointed as she and Phoebe left.

"This is not good." Buffy groaned.

DARRYL: Listen, young man, we can do this the easy way or the hard way. Your choice. CHRIS: I don't have time for this. (CHRIS motions with his arm telekinetically pushing DARRYL backward and out of the house.)

(DARRYL lands hard on the front porch. CHRIS walks up and looks down at DARRYL through the open door.)

CHRIS: Have a nice day. (He gestures and magically shuts the door in his face.) (DARRYL leans his head back on the porch floor.)

"Maybe if Gideon was at the hospital, I can follow his trail from there." Leo began.

"Good, you go we'll stay with Wyatt." Chris replied.

"What now Magic boy." Buffy asked.

"Let's Check the book." Chris replied.

Attic:

"We should be able to find a spell that." Chris paused listening. "What was that?" He asked.

"I don't know." Buffy said quietly moving slowly towards the source of the noise.

"We need to get out of here." Chris began going to get Wyatt.

Buffy sensed him lunging at the invisible figure. Gideon groaned as his form became viable waving his hand and throwing Buffy across the room away from him.

"Buffy." Chris exclaimed.

"Get Wyatt out of here." Buffy said jumping to her feet. Chris nodded but before he could reach him Gideon waved his hands throwing him into Buffy.

"We can't let him get Wyatt." Chris said groaning as he stood telekinetically throwing Gideon away from his brother.

GIDEON: (softly warning) Don't make me sacrifice you both. (From his position on the floor, GIDEON glares coldly at CHRIS. He holds out his hand and his athame appears in his grip.) (GIDEON vanishes from sight.)

"Get Wyatt and go." Buffy said trying to sense where he went. Chris rushes toward him about to grab him when Gideon reapers stabbing him.

"Chris." Buffy cried watching him crumple to the ground. Gideon pulls the athame from him stepping towards Wyatt as Buffy stood frozen in shock. Before she could recover he was gone. Buffy rushed to him falling to her knees next to him. "Chris, I'm so sorry, please, don't.."

"Dad." Chris began Shakily before passing out.

"LEO!" Buffy screamed frantically praying he'd be able to save him.
