Charmed Rewritten (Part 1)
Manor
Prue and Piper are in the attic looking through the Book of Shadows, "I'm telling you Prue. The book keeps flipping to the Call a lost witch spell." Piper explains as she looks at the page.
"Well, what does that mean?" Prue asks as she looks at the page
Michael walks in at that time and says, "Hey, what's going on?"
Piper looks up and says, "See even ask Mikey, the book always opens up to this page."
"Okay, Piper I believe you but what are we supposed to do? Cast the spell?" Prue asks.
Michael thinks and says, "Actually, I think so,"
"Okay," Prue says calmly, "Then let's do it,"
They join hands and begin the spell
Power of the witches rise,
Course unseen across the skies
Come to us who call you near
Come to us and settle here
Piper grabs a knife and they cut there fingers and drop a few drops of blood into the bowl.
Blood to blood we summon thee
Blood to blood return to me
They stare at the candle and nothing happens. "Damn it," Piper says "Didn't work," they walk out of the attic.
South bay social services
A beautiful young woman is sitting at a little area with a computer, "Printing," She says. There is a small wind and the candles blow out. She gets up and wonders what's going on. A newspaper suddenly appears in white orbs behind her and falls to the ground. She picks it up and reads it, At P3 there will be a celebration for the new member of the Halliwell family.
A tall dark man walks out of an office, "Paige, did you find that study yet?" He asks.
The woman, Paige, is still reading the paper, "Yeah, it's in the printer," She answers him. "I'm sorry, I have to go," She says grabbing her coat and starting to leave.
"What do you mean go? Go where?" Mr. Cowan asks her, "Paige," He calls before she is out the door, "hey Paige,"

Manor
Michael and Zeke are on their laptops, "No," Zeke says hitting a button, "No. no. no." he yells slamming it shut
"What? What's going on?" Michael asks.
"I finished that essay we have to do before break, but my laptop died before I could save it," Zeke explains.
"Oh," Michael says looking at his screen.
Zeke gets up and looks at Michael's screen, "What are you doing?" Zeke asks.
Michael gently closes Prue's laptop, "Nothing," He says.
He gets up and walks up stairs, Zeke follows him
Underworld
The Source flames in front of a shadowy figure known as the Oracle, "May I be seen?" The oracle asks.
The Source asks her, "Have you found Belthazor?"
The oracle says "No, something else..." the source considers that for a beat, then turns and waves his clawed hand at The Oracle. A creepy but sexy young woman, materializes from the depths, stroking her ever-present crystal ball. "Something more important, perhaps,"
The Source says "Nothing is more important."
Oracle says "Not even The Charmed Ones? Or Gonzalez?"
The Source says, "The Charmed Ones are pregnant,"
Oracle says "Not all of them."
The Source says "One pregnant starts a new threat. Of course, if you had foreseen that a white-lighter was going to help Belthazor save his witch, the next generation would be gone. Be grateful I don't turn you into a snake."
Oracle says "Yes, but then how would you see into the future without me?"
The Source says "Without the Charmed Ones to worry about anymore, I may not need to."
Oracle says "Mmm. Well, in that case, you'd better keep me around a little while longer." The Source turns back to the Oracle as she looks into her crystal ball, sees whips of smoke forming inside.
"What do you see?" The Source asks.
Oracle says "I see - a witch's call on the spirit winds. I see... another."
Cemetery
Michael and Phoebe are standing over Teresa Gonzalez's grave, "It's been three and a half years without her," Michael explains.
Paige is standing in the background watching them. Phoebe hugs Michael and says, "I know honey, come here," She pulls him into a tight hug.
Paige approaches them, "I'm so sorry for your loss," She says sympathetically.
Phoebe speaks for Michael, "Thank you." Paige nods and begins to leave. "How did you know Teresa? From work?" She asks curiously.
Paige lies nervously, "No. Just... just from around, you know. I just… needed to be here." She admits in a confused voice.
Phoebe says "Have we met before?"
Paige looks at Michael, "No. I don't... I don't think so. Anyway, my condolences."
"Thanks," he says.
Phoebe says "Thank you." Phoebe shakes Paige's hand - then gets hit with a powerful premonition
Premonition
Paige is on a skyscraper rooftop helipad. She screams as she squeezes her eyes shut in fear as the demon Shax and another demon. Shax gestures and sends a concessive blast toward her to kill her.
End of premonition
Phoebe stumbles to the floor after her premonition ends.
"Pheebs," Michael says catching her. "Are you all right?" He asks.
Paige leaves the cemetery.
"We have to find her, she is going to get attacked soon," Phoebe explains as Michael flames Phoebe and himself out.
Manor
Prue walks over to Piper, "Piper, I don't think this is the best way to help Michael let go,"
"Well, it's a shot right?" Piper asks. "Especially after 3 years I think he should move on and let go," She explains. "Here you go," Piper says to a woman at the pre-celebration or pre-baby shower. "When does Andy get here?" Piper asks.
Prue sighs at Piper's decision for the baby shower. "Not until his shift is over," she says.
Phoebe and Michael walk in from the kitchen, "I don't see her anywhere?" Phoebe says looking around. She stops upon seeing Cole . "You're back,"
"Who don't you see?" Leo asks her curiously.
"The girl from my premonition," She explains.
"Pheebs," Michael warns as people can hear her.
"You gotta be more careful, Phoebe," Leo warns
"Well, I'm sorry," She says.
Prue interrupts their scolding. "What kind of premonition?"
Phoebe eagerly replies to Prue's question. "The kind where an innocent is killed by a demon," she answers.
"So it wasn't one of us?" Prue presses in relief.
"No it wasn't. Try not to stress," Phoebe suggests.
"Did you recognize her at all?" Cole asks.
Phoebe sighs before saying, "Well, she did look familiar like I've seen her somewhere before. But somehow, we got to find her before nightfall, or else…"
"Did we know the demon?" Michael asks
"I don't know, maybe. One was definitely Shax and another was a demon with a cross on his arm," Phoebe explains.
"The demon that killed my mom," Michael realizes before storming off up to the attic.
"Phoebe, you said she was attacked on a rooftop?" Leo asks.
"Yeah. One with a heli-pad… but it wasn't a tall building, although, there were a lot of taller ones around it," Phoebe explains.
Leo says, "Okay, so we just need to figure out which building it was before Shax does."
"The police station probably has records of all the buildings with heli-pads," Prue states. "I'll call Andy," she offers.
"That would be perfect," Phoebe agrees. "It'll at least help narrow down the search."
"And do what exactly when we find it?" Piper asks. "Shax can only be vanquished by the Power of Three," Piper explains.
Prue narrows her eyes slightly. "We have the Power of Three," she points out.
Piper spun on her. "You cannot go," she says. Prue opens her mouth to argue but Piper continues to shake her head. "Don't even start arguing with me on this one," she insists.
"Well, You, Mikey and Steven did before," Phoebe reminds her. "There are other options besides using Prue."
"Pheebs, that's because they are powerful beings, trying to go up against Shax or this other demon without us will be suicide," Prue explains.
"Don't say Mikey either. I don't think he's in the best mood to go demon hunting right now," Piper says. "Besides, do you really expect him to keep doing this stuff after what happened to his mom? To keep risking his life? Do they?" She asks, her voice accidentally raising
"Piper, keep your voice down," Leo says softly.
Piper says "No, Leo, I won't. I don't want Mikey to do this anymore, okay? It-It's over! You can tell them that we buried their precious Wiccan One when we buried his mom." She spins and stalks up the stairs.
Leo starts to follow, but Phoebe stops him "No, leave her be. She needs to be alone with Mikey. Look, I don't know where we go from here, but I do know that I can't let that girl die…especially not by the same demon that killed Teresa."
"I agree. We have to do something," Prue says.
Cole says "The question remains, how are we going to stop Shax and the demon that killed Teresa without the Power of Three to say the vanquishing spell?"
"I think we know the answer to that," Prue begins pointedly.
"You aren't going, you're pregnant," Cole argues, quickly catching on to what Prue was going to suggest again.
Phoebe looks at Cole, "I'm hoping that a demon and a witch fighting together might be enough. Interested?"
Cole says "Why not? It's better sitting around waiting for the next bounty hunter to attack," Phoebe then moves off with Cole.
"Well, I guess I'll just call Andy," Prue calls after them while crossing her arms in frustration.
Phoebe and Cole approach Victor who is talking with one of the guests. Victor says "I appreciate you coming over. It means so much to the girls."
Phoebe says "Dad. Excuse me, Aaron." She pulls Victor over to her "We have to go. Will you be okay?"
Victor says "Go where?"
Cole says "Trust me, you don't want to know."
"Prue's staying so keep an eye on her," Phoebe adds.
Before Victor could react, they turn to see Darryl and Andy entering and approaching with Cortez, coat and tie, self-made, eyes never miss a trick.
Prue comes in at that moment and goes to Andy. "Andy, what are you doing here?" she asks in confusion as she was holding her cell phone ready to call him.
"Mr. Trudeau is taken off the case from personal involvement," Mr. Cortez answers so that eyes all turn to him. "He can return to working with Mr. Morris as soon as this case is over," he continues.
Andy leans toward Prue and gives her a quick peck on the cheek. "Standard protocol," he assures her to which Prue nods and turns her attention to Darryl.
Darryl notices and says "Prue, Phoebe, Victor. Sorry about this, but Inspector Cortez insisted on meeting today…"
Cortez says "I just wanted to extend my deepest sympathies."
Phoebe says "Thank you,"
Victor says "Thanks." Prue just nods stiffly.
Cole says "I'll get the car," He steps out of the Manor.
Darryl looks around, "Where's Piper? And Mikey,"
Phoebe says "Upstairs. She's trying to help Mikey get through this,"
Cortez says "Understandable. I lost someone once myself, I know how hard it is. We're going to find the monster who did this to your cousins mom, Ms. Halliwell. I promise you this." Phoebe and Darryl exchange a look while Prue looks up at Andy. Cortez notices this. "Something I said?" He asks.
Phoebe says "No, uh, it's just the word, monster."
"It strikes a chord," Prue admits.
Cortez says "Well that's what he was - how else do you describe somebody so vicious? We have to stop before he strikes again."
Phoebe says "I couldn't agree more. If you'll excuse me, Inspector…" She goes to leave, but Cortez stops her.
Cortez says "I know what a difficult time this is for you and your sisters, Ms. Halliwell, but we really need to talk."
Victor says "But not now."
Cortez says "Of course. Sorry," He holds Phoebe's look for an uncomfortable beat, then allows her to exit. Cortez then looks toward Prue but Andy gently took her wrist and pulled her towards the kitchen. Darryl, concerned, looks at Cortez.
Attic
Michael is angrily placing five lit candles in a lose circle on the floor in front of the Book of Shadows. Piper is trying to talk him out of doing what he's doing.
"Mikey, you shouldn't be beating yourself up over this," Piper says.
Michael ignores her and talks to himself, "I'm a witch, damn it. I've summoned people before and I'm gonna summon Mom now whether you like it or not! No more games, no more playing the good witch." He goes to the Book, which is opened to the spell. "I want to talk to my mother. I need to talk to my mother. At the very least, you owe me that." Piper takes a soul-cleansing breath, then glares at the Book. Okay, lets do it.
Here these words, Hear my cry
Spirit from the other side,
Come to me, I summon thee,
Cross now the Great Divide
Inside the circle, white magical lights, ever-so-slowly begin to appear. Piper looks up, Michael looks up his anger replaced by hopeful wonder as he steps closer, anticipating Teresa's appearance, but is, instead, surprised to see the ghost of Grams. "Grams?" Piper and Michael says together.
Grams' says "Hello, my darlings. How are you?"
Michael looks and says "How am I? Are you kidding? Do you guys not get the news up there?"
Grams says, "I meant, how are you holding up?"
Piper says "Not very well. I'm a little lost. Why didn't you come before? When we called after…"
Grams says "I couldn't, Piper. I was… busy."
Piper and Michael say, "You were busy?"
Grams says "I was with Teresa."
Piper says "Oh. Of course you were. Right. Well, that makes sense. Is she okay?"
Grams says "Your mother and I were helping her through this."
"Three years up there and you now are telling us this?" Michael asks.
Piper puts a hand on his shoulder, "But how is she?" she asks her grams
Grams says "I'm not allowed to tell you now… just like you're not allowed to see her, at least not for a while anyway."
"But, why?" Piper asks.
Grams says "Because seeing Teresa right now, speaking to her, keeps her alive for you. Which keeps you from being able to move on with your life, to continue with your destiny,"
Michael says "What destiny? Okay. It's over. It's done. Ma is gone. And I…"
Grams says "I know, sweetie. I know… but if there's one thing you've learned over the last three years, it's that there's a reason for everything… which means there's a reason for this, too. You're destiny still awaits. blessed be," She disappears in the same swirl of white lights that brought her to Piper,
Mikey…I need your help. Phoebe says telepathically.
Underworld
The Source materializes in a fiery display, "Anything?" He asks.
The Oracle, still coiled around her smoke-filled crystal ball, looks up from it. "Unfortunately since the last attack, Belthazor has been very elusive –"
The Source says "Leave Belthazor to the bounty hunters. What about the other?"
The Oracle confidently waves her hand over the crystal ball, "Her future's becoming much more clear. And, it appears, short-lived…" The crystal ball shows swirling smoke inside as it begins to form into the image of a dancing woman, Paige.
P3
Paige is dancing with her boyfriend, Shane. The club is hopping - a hot band lights up the place. The song ends, the crowd cheers, then Paige and Shane drifts over to their table and sit. Paige looks distracted, distant.
"You all right?" Shane asks her.
Paige says "Me? Yeah, why?"
Shane says "Well, you seem… a little quieter than usual. That's all."
Paige says "What makes you think I'm not like this all of the time."
Shane says "Well, we've been dating for a month now. So, I think I'd know." He turns to a passing waitress "Uh, hey, can we get a couple of long necks?"
Waitress says "Sure."
Paige says to the waitress, "Make mine a mineral water, please?"
"Mm-mmm." The waitress says.
Paige says "Thanks." The waitress notes the order and leaves. "So much for how well you know me cowboy, I don't drink. I used to have kind of a problem during liquids… lot of problems, actually, but that's all behind me."
Shane says "Do you want to go someplace else, or…?"
Paige says "No, no, no, I like it here. Gosh. I should. I've been coming to P3 for the last year or so, on and off. I mean, ever since that…"
Shane says "Ever since what?"
Paige says "Oh, never mind. It's boring." Pause. "All right, but if I tell you all about Paige and you use it against me, I will get out my voodoo doll and make you sorry you're a man." Pause. "So my sad story is that I'm adopted; only it's not so sad because I loved my parents, God rest. So after they died, I went searching for my birth mother, hoping to get some answers." She begins to doodle on a napkin. "I went to the police, found the church I got dumped at… I checked around. I figured she must've lived near here, you know? They even thought I might've been… related to the Halliwell sisters for a minute, but their Mom died a long time ago, so I gave up on that."
Shane says "Well, did you ever meet the sisters, ask them about it or…"
Paige says "Yeah right. 'Hi. I think your Mom might've abandoned me at birth. What's for dinner?' No. I don't think so." The waitress brings them their drinks, allowing Paige to lean back. She tries to end this painful topic. Shane, though, cares, and wants to know more.
Waitress says "Here you are."
Paige looks at her and says "Thanks."
Waitress says "You're welcome,"
Shane says "So that, that still doesn't explain why you keep coming here."
Paige says "Well, one of the sisters… owns it, so… I don't know. I guess I just kind of feel - connected somehow. That's why I went to the cemetary today. I just felt like I had to, I saw one of the sisters and a boy there. Okay. I sound certifiably insane. Good job, Paige. Way a go." Shane, touched, shuts her up by leaning in and giving her a kiss. She responds, then pulls back slightly, allowing her vulnerability to show. "Don't hurt me, okay? I can't handle anymore right now." His answer is another kiss, deeper, meaningful. She accepts it, returns the passion. They part, stare into each other's eyes. Hers are ablaze. "Come on. I have something to show you." Shane hurriedly tosses a twenty on the table. They leave. The cocktail napkin Paige was doodling on had a drawing of a rough version of the triquetra, the Power of Three.
Skyscraper building
Phoebe, bundled up in the observation room, is looking out through the binoculars. Michael is standing nearby. Cole approaches from behind, handing Phoebe a thermostat cup of coffee, "Here," Phoebe lowers the binoculars, turns to take the cup.
Phoebe says "Oh, thanks. I think this is the right place. But maybe we should try one of the other rooftops just to make sure."
Cole says "Or maybe we should follow your first instincts and stay right here."
Phoebe says "Okay. But, what if I'm wrong? That girl will get killed."
"She won't. Prue and Andy said that this was the only building that matched your description," Michael assures.
Cole says "You can't save every innocent, Phoebe, or stop every demon." He hugs her from behind.
Phoebe says "Yeah. Well, I have to stop this one. I just hope that by me and Mikey saying the vanquishing spell, it wounds him enough that you can take him out."
Cole snuggles from behind "I got a better idea. How about you and me go someplace? You know? Drop off the face of the earth together, disappear?"
Phoebe says "Hmm. Don't tempt me."
Cole says "Things have changed, Phoebe. We can't pretend we can go on like this. It's only a matter of time before The Source or Michael's father find me, which means every minute you're with me, you're in danger."
Phoebe says "I've lost too much already Cole. I'm not losing you, too." She holds his look, he's not going anywhere. Then, he kisses her and looks up past her, squints, seeing something.
Cole says "Ooh, looks like your instincts were right."
Phoebe says "We've gotta shimmer over there!" She turns and raises binoculars.
Cole says "And tell her what? That a demon's gonna attack? I think we should stay right here." They wait as Paige, oblivious to the looming danger, leads a reluctant Shane to the center of the heli-pad.
Michael, however, flames out, to behind the trash cans near the Heli-pad.
"Aren't you afraid that we're gonna to get caught?" Shane asks.
Paige says "I like an element of danger." She lets go of his hand, then spins around, arms out wide, looking up at the stars, free. "Oh. Look at the stars. They're so beautiful! They make me feel… free." She takes off her jacket slightly He kisses her.
Meanwhile, Phoebe lowers the binoculars and turns away. Cole is still looking, "All right, any ideas?" Phoebe asks.
Cole laughs and says "A couple."
Phoebe smacks him "I meant about what we do now. I mean, we can't just keep watching, it's not right."
Cole takes the binoculars from Phoebe and takes a look, "You're right. We shouldn't just keep watching."
Phoebe blocks his view, "Okay, very good."
A moving tornado materializes out of thin air and races toward the unsuspecting lovers. The demon, Shax, appears and fires a concussive blast.
The other demon appears too.
Look out! Michael tries to warn telepathically in the hopes the woman would hear him.
Paige opens her eyes at the last second and sees it over Shane's shoulder, "Shane!"
The blast makes Shane go flying backwards, knocking him out.
Paige screams. Shax throws another concussive blast at Paige. Paige screams and orbs out.
"Hey!" Michael yells to Shax, "Leave her alone,"
"There you are," the other demon says whirling over to Michael. "You aren't getting away from me this time," the demon says conjuring a knife.
"My liege," Shax says in his demonic voice. Throwing a concussive blast at the demon, but the demon whirls out and the blast hits Michael.
Paige orbs back in and realizing that she's still alive, somehow. Paige turns the other way and runs to the roof access tower.
Shax, surprised at her ability to orb, turns back into a tornado and follows. "Damn it," Michael says getting up, "Phoebe!" He yells flaming out.
Phoebe looks at the scene with wide eyes, "She orbed!" Paige runs away. "She orbed - did you just see that?"
Cole says "Come on!" Cole grabs her and shimmers out with her.
Paige is running for her life, scampers down the stairs onto the catwalk then stops as she hears the ominous sound of the tornado approaching. She slowly turns to see Shax standing there.
But before he can throw another concussive blast, he stops as he sees Cole and Phoebe shimmer in with Michael flaming in right behind them seconds later. Paige turns, just in time to see the tail end of the shimmer, shocked she says "What the hell?"
Phoebe says "Get outta here! Hurry! Go! Go!"
Cole fires an energy ball at Shax, but it barely fazes him. He fires another one as Paige, freaked out, takes off running up the stairs.
Cole says "Say the spell, damn it!"
Phoebe and Michael chant.
Evil wind that blows,
That which forms below,
No longer may you dwell,
Death takes you with this spell.
Shax, though, manages to get off a concussive blast at Cole, which knocks him over the stairway rail. Just as Shax, in agony, turns into a ghostly wind and streaks away from the scene. Phoebe, panic- stricken, runs to the edge. Cole plummets five stories, but just before he pancakes, he recovers enough to shimmer out. "Cole!" Cole shimmers next to Phoebe, who gasps and emotionally hugs him, afraid she almost lost him. "That was too close..."
Cole says "its okay, I'm all right. I just don't know about your innocent."
"Well, lets get out of here before the other demon shows up," Michael says as they join hands and flame out.
Manor: Kitchen
Leo, Andy, Piper and Prue are debating with Cole, Michael and Phoebe with what they say.
"Are you sure she orbed? Are you sure that it wasn't something else?" Leo asks.
Phoebe explains, "Leo, she disappeared. Bright white, shiny thingies came and then she reappeared. What else could it be?"
Leo says "It just doesn't make any sense."
"I've learned that not much makes sense," Andy points out.
Prue just shrugs. "There's always another secret," she agrees.
Cole says "I'm not sure I follow what doesn't make sense."
Leo says "Why would Shax want to kill a White-lighter?"
Cole says "Maybe he doesn't know she's a white-lighter."
Leo says "Right, the Source sends out his personal assassin, but doesn't know who he's after?"
Phoebe turns to Leo "Is it possible that she didn't know that she was a white-lighter?"
Leo says, "No. Why?"
Cole says "Because she acted as if she didn't. She acted just as surprised as we were when she orbed out."
Leo says "Well that doesn't make any sense either."
"You're not very helpful," Prue states with narrowed eyes.
Phoebe says irritably "Yeah, why don't you go up and ask the Elders what does make sense so we don't go risking our lives again?"
Leo looks at Piper "I'll be right back." He says before orbing out.
Phoebe covers her eyes, "You okay Mikey?" She asks upon seeing him stare into space.
Cole says "Maybe I should, uh, go to the other side and see what I can find out."
"That's a good idea," Prue agrees.
Phoebe looks at him after glaring at Prue, "No."
Cole says "I'll be careful. Nobody'll see me. Besides, it could be good to me to go back down, confused any bounty hunters that might be trying to track me. Don't worry. I won't disappear."
Cole kisses Phoebe on the cheek and shimmers out. Piper is hunched over the counter and Phoebe moves closer to her sisters.
Andy turns to look at Phoebe. "Do you know what this girl's name is?" he questions.
Prue recognizes the look in his eyes. "What are you thinking?" she prompts.
"Darryl can get information on her for us if we knew her name," Andy answers. Michael ignores the new conversation and flames up to the attic.
Hospital: Shane's room
He sits up from his bed, when Paige walks in, "Paige." He says.
Paige says "Hey,"
"What happened?" Shane asks her.
Paige says "Shane, I feel so bad. I just got scared and I ran."
Shane says "Of course,"
Paige says "Are you all right? What'd they say?"
Shane says "It's no big deal, just a little concussion."
Paige says "Oh, no."
Shane says "No, I'm gonna be fine. They wouldn't be releasing me if I wasn't, right? I'm just glad you're okay, too."
Paige says "Yeah, well, physically anyway."
Shane says "Did you talk to the cops yet?"
Paige says "No. Why?"
Shane says "Why? They want to find out who attacked us, that's why. I - I told them you saw him."
Paige says "You did what?"
Shane says "Well, you did. Didn't you?"
Cortez enters the room, "Did you?" He asks upon entering the room.
"Who are you?" Paige asks.
"Inspector Cortez, homicide," He shows his badge, "I'd like to ask you a couple of questions."
Shane says "Wait, homicide? No one was murdered."
Cortez says "Based on the MO, if it's the same perpetrator I think it was, that just makes you lucky. He killed a person last week and possibly three years ago, violently, one of them a young woman who looked a little bit like you."
Paige says "Teresa,"
Cortez says "Teresa Gonzalez, Did you know her? Or her Son and his cousins the Halliwell sisters,"
Paige nods and says "No. No, not really,"
Shane says "Well, in a way you did, right?"
Cortez says "What way was that? Were you friends of hers or friends of her sons cousins?"
Paige says "No, not friends."
Cortez says "Then what? Okay, look. I - I know you know something. I can see it in your eyes. Just like I know they know something, too. If you're trying to protect them in anyway, I'll find out."
Paige says "Well, in that case, I have nothing to worry about." She kisses Shane. "You rest up. I'll be back." She turns to Cortez "Excuse me," Paige leaves the room.
Manor
Prue and Andy are arguing when Jake walks in, "Excuse me," Jake says looking worried.
Prue turns to him, "Jake…what is it Honey?" She asks
"It's Mikey, I think something's wrong," Jake explains. "He's acting different; I believe he used the forbidden spell to turn back time,"
Prue turns to Andy, "We need to go talk to him,"
Living room
Phoebe sits next to the fireplace. Piper walks toward her and hands her a teacup, "Here, this should help. It's chamomile. I had three cups." Piper takes a seat on the floor beside Phoebe.
Phoebe says "Thanks." She takes a sip and sets it aside. "Doesn't seem real, does it?"
Piper says "No. What are we gonna do with the demons that are after Mikey?"
Phoebe says "I don't know," She holds hands with Piper. "He's gonna get through this, you know. We just have to stick together with him." Leo orbs into the room. "Well?" she asks.
Leo says "Well, they don't know anything about her, so she's definitely not a white-lighter."
Phoebe says "Then why can she orb, Leo?"
Leo says "They can't explain it."
Both Piper and Phoebe stand up, Phoebe says "Then how is it possible that they don't kn…" she's cut off by Cole shimmering into the room.
Cole says "Whew. Sorry I took so long. I had to dodge a couple of bounty hunters."
Leo says "Did you find anything out?"
Cole says "You have no idea what I found out. Turns out the Source doesn't think she's a white-lighter at all." He sits on the arm of a chair "In fact, he thinks she might be another… Charmed One. That's why he put Shax on it. He thought he ended the Power of Three or at least weakened it. Now he's worried that this girl may somehow add to it. Make it stronger,"
Phoebe says "No, but that's not possible. Is that possible?" Leo shrugs. Piper begins to take off. "Piper?"
Attic
Michael is in the attic looking at the spell he used to turn back time, when Jake walks in, "I assumed you would want to talk alone," Jake guesses.
"Well, you assumed right," Michael says. "Have you found anything on this case for the cops?"
"I have a few leads," He answers closing the attic door, "But there's something I need to talk to you about, something that's been on my mind,"
"I'm listening," Michael says.
"When you pled on my behalf to the elders, I understand you spoke with absolute certainty that I would protect magic, and risk my life doing it," Jake explains.
"I'm a good judge of character, so Phoebe says," Michael explains,
"Yes you are," Jake clarifies, "But are you also a good judge of demons?" He asks and Michael looks confused. "You quite suddenly knew that Shax would try to throw Prue through the wall, and precisely when it would happen," Jake explains. "It confused me at first but then the more I thought about it, the more I was convinced that it's the only explanation for your behavior lately."
"No it's not," Michael argues,
"You knew things the rest of us couldn't, because you perhaps were in the future and came back again," Jake argues back.
Michael sits down, fear in his eyes "You can't tell anyone," He warns.
"I already have told someone," Jake says sitting across from him.
"Oh my, what have you done?" Michael asks.
"I've shared my suspicions about you with the cop and the eldest Charmed One," Jake says. Michael looks even more fearful in his eyes "Mikey, I don't know why you wanted this to be a secret, but I believe you used the forbidden way to time travel,"
Michael is on the table in the Attic looking at a page in the book of shadows on Max, "Hello, Michael," A voice says as he quickly closes the book and turns around like nothing is happening, "Very clever, I could barely see the page," Prue says. "Now let's talk about Max,"
"Listen, I don't know what Jake may have told you," Michael begins.
Jake, Jenny and Zeke walk into the room, "About Max?" Jenny asks.
"Or you using the forbidden way to travel back in time," Jake adds.
"Ever since Shax tried to destroy the Power of Three, I've known that something had altered time, and that something appears to be you," Prue begins.
Jenny says looking at him, "Mikey, how could you be so careless of the consequences,"
"I had no choice," Michael blurts out, interrupting her, "Magic was exposed, the Power of Three was gone," He points to the door, "Piper was gone," he turns to Jake, "You too Jake, you saved Zeke, you saved Rosaline and me but you were killed,"
Jake just looks at Michael sympathetically, "That's why you pled to the elders on my behalf," He realizes.
Michael nods, "The demon leftovers?" Prue asks
"Gone," Michael says,
"What about the potion herbs?" Andy asks
"All gone," He looks at Prue and sighs, "Did I do wrong?" He asks.
"No, I would have done the same, but Michael, what are the repercussions," Prue asks
"The demon said I'd awaken an evil within me or has not been destroyed, that will haunt me for as long as I live," Michael explains as he shimmers to the living room.
Piper, Phoebe, Cole and Leo burst in, Phoebe says "What's going on?"
Piper says "I'm going to ask Grams what's going on, actually."
Phoebe says "Grams?"
Piper says "Mm-hmm. 'Your destiny still awaits,' she says. 'There's a reason for everything,' she says. So, it's time to summon her transparent butt back here and find out exactly what that reason is."
Prue exchanges a confused look with Andy. "Uh, why exactly are we summoning her?" she inquires.
Phoebe shrugs her shoulders. "Something about another Charmed One," she answers. Prue just looks shocked.
"Your innocent?" Andy guesses.
"So the Source believes," Leo states with a point at Cole.
"And he's very certain," Cole insists.
Phoebe ignores them as Piper begins setting up the spell "Okay, but what should…"
Here these words, Hear my cry
Spirit from the other side,
Come to me, I summon thee,
Cross now the Great Divide
Piper lets out a semi-satisfied sigh.
Grams appears in a bright light, "Piper? Why are you calling? P-Phoebe, Prue, Michael, Andrew, wha-what's going on?"
Piper says "Grams, why does the Source think that the Charmed Ones can be strengthened or added to?"
Grams says "I do - I don't know what you're talking about."
Piper says "You know what, Grams? You were a lousy liar when you were alive, and now as a ghost, you're worse."
Phoebe says "If you know something, Grams, you have to tell us. We deserve to know."
Grams says "I can't. I'm sworn to secrecy."
"Okay, then how about the innocent. Know anything about her?" Prue questioned and then glares at Grams in warning. "And don't even think of playing the 'I-don't-know-what-you're-talking-about' card."
"Prudence…" Grams replies.
Phoebe interrupts "Who swore you to secrecy?"
Patty's voice is heard, "By me." Patty appears right next to Grams in a bright light. "By me."
"Mom?" Piper asks.
Living room
Michael closes his eyes, "Okay, I know you can here me," He says not hearing the door.
"Mikey, who are you talking too?" Jenny asks him.
"Jenny? What are you doing here?" Michael asks but before she could respond they hear the door open. He grabs her and starts to flame out.
Cortez and Darryl enter the manor. Cortez is holding a flashlight upon seeing the flames disappear.
Darryl grabs his hand, "You can't just walk in here like this."
Cortez stops, "Search warrant says I can." He says
"What the hell are you looking for?" Darryl asks.
Cortez says "Do you really expect me to believe you don't know, Inspector? Follow me and keep your voice down." He continues searching.
Basement
Michael and Jenny flame to the center of the downstairs floor, "I got to hide this," Michael says putting the spell behind a shelf. He looks at Jenny, "I'll be back," he flames out.
Attic
Patty is explaining to her daughters as she paces, "We didn't tell anybody because we were afraid that there would be reprisals, afraid that, you girls would be denied your powers. Your birthright. It happened after your father and I were divorced, when Sam and I were together."
Cole turns to Leo, "Sam?" He asks
Leo says "Her white-lighter."
Cole says "Hmm. Apples don't fall far from the forbidden tree, I see."
"Shh!" Prue and Piper snap
"Go on." Piper says to her mother.
Patty looks at Piper and Prue, "You were both toddlers. Phoebe you were just a baby, You just thought Mommy got a little fat." She smiles. "You never knew I was pregnant."
Grams says "I was the only one who knew."
"And Sam, obviously," Patty adds.
Grams says "Right. Well, yes, of course."
Patty says "We wanted to keep the baby, of course. But mother..."
Michael flames in as grams starts to explain "Well, I - I knew it would be disastrous. You know, before you and Leo, Piper, it wasn't just forbidden. It was unthinkable for witches to be with white-lighters. I mean, let alone have children with them."
Patty says "So, that's why we had to - why we decided… to give the baby up. Sam and I took her to a local church as soon as she was born. And we asked the nun there to find a home for her, and she found one. A very, very good home."
Grams adds, "Yes."
Leo says "Explains why the Elders didn't know about her." He looks at the sisters.
"And you think that that was okay?" Prue demands in disbelief. "And to not tell us for twenty-odd years?" she adds until Andy takes her hand in order to calm her down some.
Patty starts to say something but Phoebe interrupts and says "All right, hold it. Wait just one minute. Are you telling me, that that girl, our innocent, is really… our sister?"
Patty says "Your baby sister."
"Their baby half-sister." Grams corrects.
"That you abandoned," Prue mutters.
"Prue…" Andy whispers.
Prue spins around to glare at him. "What? I don't care what circumstances there were. I'd have much rather given up these powers if it meant knowing I had another sister and being able to grow up with her too," Prue insists.
Patty smiles and walks toward Prue. "You're going to be a wonderful mother," she whispers, a hint of pride in her eyes. Prue looked away guiltily so Patty turned her attention to Piper and Phoebe. "She's a sister witch. Well, actually, not yet anyway. Not until all four of you are here together by the Book. Just like before."
"Charmed," Grams' says with a smile getting wider, "Again."
Cole says "And I thought my family was screwed up."
Piper gives Cole a look
Cortez walks into the attic, seeing the two ghosts there. Everyone is a bit stunned. Darryl is right behind him. "Well, I'll be damned." Cortez says.
Commercial Break
Attic
Piper looks at Darryl, "Darryl, do something!" She orders
Darryl says "He's a cop, Piper. And he's got a search warrant."
"A search warrant for what?" Michael asks.
Cortez says "And believe me, I've found what I've been searching for." Cole moves slightly towards Cortez but just far enough away from Michael, Cortez aims his gun at him. "Ah-ah-ah-ah. Don't move. I'll shoot."
Cole says "Then so will I. and so will he," Cole says looking ion Michael's direction.
Leo says "Cole…"
Phoebe says "Okay Inspector, just put the gun down. There is a very good explanation for all of this. Feel free to chime in anytime, guys."
Cortez says "My whole life, I suspected evil magic was real, that there was something more. I've seem too many horrible things in the job to suspect otherwise, not the least of which is the one murders that happened here and one that happened years ago,"
Andy steps up so that he's in between Prue and Cortez. "Cortez, my family is not…" Andy starts.
Cortez glares and switches his gun to point at Andy. "And you. I want your shield on my desk. You're suspended and you'll be fortunate if it stops there."
"You can't just fire him. You don't know anything," Prue snaps.
Piper says "Wait. Was he accusing us?"
Cortez says "I've just begun to accuse you, lady! I know enough."
Grams chimes in, "All right, fine. You caught us. Congratulations. So what are you gonna do about it? Shoot us?" She asks sarcastically.
"How about not?" Andy deadpans.
Phoebe says "Easy, Grams. Not all of us are dead or indestructible, remember?"
Leo says "All right, look, you can't arrest us, especially not them. Nobody will ever believe you."
Cortez says, "Maybe not at first. I'm putting this whole place under constant surveillance. I'm taping your every move. Sooner or later, I'll catch you doing something uh, supernatural, and then…"
Mikey do something, Phoebe orders telepathically.
"May I say something?" Michael asks. Cortez nods. "Your making a huge mistake," Prue squints her eyes and moves Darryl back a little bit. "Vase," Michael calls and aims towards Cortez. The vase shimmers in mid air and hits Cortez in the head knocking him out.
Darryl looks at Michael, "I think you've been through enough today, huh?"
Piper says "Thank you." Phoebe walks over to Darryl.
Phoebe says "Darryl, go, get out of here. We don't want you to take the fall for this."
Darryl says "No, it's okay."
Phoebe says "No, it's not. This is our problem. He wants to expose us, not you. Let us take care of this, please?"
"We've got it, Morris, thanks," Andy agrees with Phoebe.
Darryl says "If you need me, you know where to find me, huh?" Phoebe nods and turns to Cole. Darryl leaves the manor.
Cole says "It doesn't solve your problem. He's gonna wake up eventually. You've just bought yourself some time."
Leo says "Which is what you're gonna need, especially if you wanna save your…"
"Sister?" Phoebe concludes.
"Alright, so what do we do with him?" Prue asks.
Grams says "Well, what are you waiting for? Just write a spell. Get rid of him."
Phoebe says "Uh, get rid of him?"
Grams says "Well, you know what I mean. Dump him somewhere. Anywhere. With all the witches in this room, we oughta be able to do something with him. I mean, just start rhyming."
Uh, take him back, take him away.
Remove him now. Don't let him stay.
Grams gestures to Phoebe.
Phoebe says "Oh."
We call the spirits to help undo
and send him off to… Timbuktu.
Cortez vanishes from the floor "Whoa. It worked." She says
Piper says "Timbuktu? You sent him to Timbuktu?"
"Phoebe…" Prue groans.
Phoebe says "All right, well, it was the only thing I could think of that rhymed with undo."
Cole says "Don't worry. Uh, I'll find him." Cole shimmers out.
Piper says "Okay, well this is way too much for me to handle. Way too much."
Patty says "Nobody can blame you for being angry, sweetie."
Piper says "Angry? Yeah, I'm angry. Um, I'm confused and you know what? This - this is just crazy. You cannot float in here after all these years and go, 'Oh gosh, I forgot, by the way, you've got a sister.' Especially not today of all days."
Patty says "I know it's a lot, sweetie. More than anybody should have to deal with, but you're going to have to deal with it the best way you know how. Learning about another sister... this is your, path. This is your destiny. Get angry at it, cry about it, but don't fight it. Or it'll consume you."
Grams says "Come on, Patty. The rest is up to them." Grams and Patty disappear.
"Did I ever mention how I hate surprises?" Prue asks sarcastically.
"Once or twice," Phoebe admits.
Piper, Prue Andy, Michael, Phoebe, Leo head downstairs.
Leo says "I can't sense where she is because she's technically not a witch yet."
Phoebe says "All right, so all we have to go on is that church that Mom mentioned and the nun."
"There's only one major catholic church in the area. It has to be it," Prue points out.
"I can call Father Austin. See if he knows a Sister Agnes," Andy offers.
"Perfect," Phoebe agrees.
Piper says "Okay, let's get one thing straight. I am only doing this to save her. I'm not remotely interested in strengthening...The Charmed Ones." Piper is cut off to find Paige waiting for them. The door is left open.
Paige says "I, the door was open. I'm sorry. I shouldn't be here." Paige turns to leave but Phoebe stops her.
Phoebe says "No, no, no. No, no. We were just coming to look for you."
Paige says "You were?"
"In as noncreepy a way as possible," Prue adds. She narrows her eyes and closes the door.
Phoebe says "Yep. Come on in. Welcome. I'm Phoebe. And this is…"
Phoebe hooks her arm into Paige's and walks over to Piper and Leo, "Piper. I know. I've been to your club. Pretty great."
Piper says "Thank you."
"That is Prue, and her husband Andy, and our cousin Mikey," Piper explains shaking her hand.
Prue shakes Paige's hand as well. "It's nice to meet you," she offers with a slight smile.
"Sup?" Michael asks waving in her direction.
"And you are?" Piper asks.
"Paige. My name is Paige." Paige says.
Phoebe says "Hmm. Another P. Imagine that."
Piper says "Pleasure." Piper shakes Paige's hand as Prue stands next to Piper and Phoebe as a bright blue shines over the girls.
Paige says "Okay. What was that?"
Leo says "I think that means you're supposed to be here." The door slams open and a strong wind knocks Piper, Phoebe and Paige backwards while Prue disappears in a red flash and reappears next to Andy. Leo is knocked down on the stairs, and Michael and Andy shimmer out to behind the sisters. Shax materializes and walks closer. He is about to strike when Leo jumps on his back. "Run! Get upstairs!"
Piper says "Leo?!" Piper, Phoebe, and Paige run upstairs. Shax throws him off his back and Leo is knocked out. Shax then looks upstairs. Then to the remaining people.
Michael grabs Prue's hand and Andy grabs her other hand and they flame out.
Attic
Piper, Phoebe, and Paige enter and go to the Book, "What are we doing? What is that thing?" Paige asks.
Phoebe says "We'll explain later." Piper flips through the pages of the Book.
"Where's Prue?" Phoebe demands.
"Mikey!" Piper calls as flames begin to appear next to them. Paige jumps as the three figures become corporeal.
"Do you have the spell?" Prue asks, hurrying toward them.
Piper says "Yeah, here," Piper says and then glances at Paige "Okay, just say this spell out loud with us, okay?"
Paige says "Spells, what are you guys, witches?"
Phoebe says "And so are you. We hope."
"She is," Prue states.
Piper says "Well, we're about to find out."
The strong wind breaks through the attic door and Shax materializes. The girls recite the vanquishing spell.
The four sisters begin the spell
Evil wind that blows,
That which forms below,
No longer may you dwell.
Death takes you with this spell.
Shax moans in pain as he explodes, vanquished.
Phoebe says "It's not enough. Shax was just the messenger. We gotta get the Source."
Paige says "The Source of what?"
Piper says "Of all evil."
"You guys," Prue lectures with a look at Paige.
Paige says "What have you guys turned me into?" Paige turns and runs out the attic and out of the manor.
Piper says "Paige?"
Phoebe says "Wait." Piper and Phoebe start following.
"Wait for me," Prue calls.
"Careful with the stairs," Andy warns, rushing after them.
The demon from before whirls in, "You can never be safe," He says and whirls back out.
Everyone is at the kitchen table confronting Michael,
"Where were we?" Michael asks.
"Creating an evil within you, What exactly is this evil?" Jake asks
Prue paces back and forth, "Mikey I know you have theories,"
"Okay, well I cant be sure but I think the evil is, well, it could be, Rosaline," He explains
"Rosaline," Phoebe says standing up quickly.
"What makes you think this," Prue asks.
"This nightmare I have," Michael answers, "She's coming at me with a potion, then she throws it at me"
"Your mistaken trust me, if you'd created an evil in Rosaline I'd know it," Prue says.
"Then what is it what's the evil?" Michael asks
"Have you considered the man that has been stalking you this entire year, the one who's trying to hurt the people you care about, that this demon Max and the one that killed your mom, is the evil," Prue points out.
"It makes sense, he wanted you to lie…he wants you isolated and vulnerable," Jake explains
"But…for what purpose?" Piper asks.
"All I know is that they may want me to use the spell again to undo what I altered, but I cant…wont do it," Michael says
"I assume the spell is safe since its not in the book anymore," Jake says
"Yes of course it is," Michael says. "But if max and the other demon is the evil then why am I having these nightmares about Rosaline?"
"Michael, you and I both know that it is easy for Max to implant a subconscious thought," Prue explains
"Your right," Michael says "Maybe I was thinking to hard on something that won't even happen,"
"I'll take this up with the elders and Jared, maybe we can reach out to Max through other channels," Piper says. As they all leave and Michael and Phoebe flame to the attic to scry for the new witch.
Basement
Prue gets the spell from behind a shelf, "Luckily Jenny had seen where he'd hidden it," Prue says to Jake,
"I don't know how comfortable I feel not telling him," Jake explains.
"It's for his own safety, the less Michael knows about the whereabouts of the spell, the better it is for all of us," Prue says folding the spell and putting it into a Ziploc bag. "Take this and disappear,"
Jake opens up a bag, "I'd rather stay and help you guys with the demons after him,"
"We can't risk undoing what Michael did to restore the Power of Three," Prue says.
"Yes well, I suppose that wouldn't be to my particular advantage," Jake says.
"Nor mine, but that's not the point as you know," Prue says.
"I'll leave Jenny my research on the case for Andy, it's quite interesting," Jake says.
"We'll try to settle this between Michael and the demons after him," Prue says, "in the mean time you cannot communicate with any of us. The two demons will apparently stop at nothing to force Michael to use the forbidden spell again," Jake nods in understanding, "You can trust no one until I have astral projected to you,"
