Ex Libris
Manor: Living room
Piper is lighting candles. There is a bottle of wine in an ice bucket on the coffee table. Music is playing.
Prue says from the other room "Piper?" She walks in and notices all the candles. "Oh. Expecting company?"
Piper says "You think? Prue, what are you doing here? I'm supposed to have the house to myself tonight."
Prue says "Oh, God, I-I-I thought that that was tomorrow night."
Piper says "No, no, no. I put it on the kitchen calendar way in advance, that's why Phoebe's at the library studying with Michael and Zeke and you're supposed to be out on an assignment."
Prue says "Yeah, well, I was all day and I was just downstairs in the basement developing these shots that I took and actually was hoping to get your opinion on them. I guess now wouldn't really be a good time would it?" Piper shakes her head. "Although, Leo's not really here yet."
Piper says "Alright, make it fast."
Prue shows her the photos.
Prue says "Alright, so, so, the magazine asked me to capture faces in the city. So I went to the haight and I took these shots but look at this man." She points to him.
Piper says "Yeah, so?"
Prue says "So he is in every single one of my pictures. I-I-I mean, I didn't really focus on him, I didn't even notice him until I got home but there he is in all of them just hanging out."
Piper says "Well, maybe he's homeless."
Prue says "But handing out fliers? I don't think so. And look at his face. He looks so sad and determined." Leo orbs in. "Oh."
Piper says "Okay, bye, bye."
Prue says "Oh, oh. Alright, so, uh, I'm gonna go now and I'll be downstairs and work all night long and I'll be really quiet and you won't have to worry about me."
Piper says "Okay."
Prue hugs her and whispers in her ear "So, no sex without safe sex."
Piper says "Thanks." Prue starts to leave. "Oh, by the way, on the kitchen counter there's a birthday card for dad if you want to sign it."
Prue says "Um, I don't. 'Night Leo."
Leo says "Goodnight."
Prue leaves.
Piper says "That's weird. I wonder why she doesn't want to sign d..."
Leo says "Hi." He walks over and kisses Piper. "You wanna sit down?"
Piper says "Oh, why don't we go upstairs, since she's downstairs."
Leo says "Okay, I know a faster way."
Piper says "You do?"
They orb out.
Library
Phoebe's sitting at a desk highlighting pages in a book while Michael and Zeke are looking through the shelves for some books. Phoebe looks around, reaches in her bag and pulls out some potato chips. She eats them and a girl sitting at a desk beside her hears her crunching. She looks over at Phoebe.
Phoebe says "Oh, I'm sorry."
Charlene says "I won't tell if you won't." She shows Phoebe a packet of chips.
Phoebe says "Hey, hi, I'm Phoebe."
"I'm Mikey." He says walking up to them.
Charlene says "I'm Charlene. Actually we've met. We even carpooled. Metaphysics 301, remember?"
Phoebe says "Oh, that's right and your dad is the professor of that class, right?"
Charlene says "Yeah, dirty rat, he gave me a C. We don't get along in anything. Even metaphysics. But I'm, hoping that'll change when I finish my thesis, get published, he'll finally have to take me seriously. I'll quit before I start telling you about my mother."
Phoebe says "No, it's okay. I've been studying here for so long it's nice to have someone to talk to. So what's your thesis about?"
Charlene says "It's about the existence of demons in our world."
Michael's eyes widen in surprise.
Phoebe says "Demons?" while licking her fingers
Charlene says "Yeah, I've been researching for five years to prove that they're not just myths like my dad thinks, that they actually really do exist. I've got proof right here."
Phoebe says "It's very interesting."
Charlene says "But you believe in them too don't you? I mean, you seem to in class. Certainly know a lot about them."
Phoebe says "Uh, it's really late, um, and I really gotta go. Okay." She packs up her books. "It was really nice talking to you, Charlene. Take care okay."
Charlene says "Okay, see you around."
Phoebe says "Bye."
Charlene says "Bye, bye." Phoebe leaves dragging Michael and Zeke along with her. Charlene stands up and walks over to the book shelves. She walks down the aisle and picks the 'Encyclopedia of Demons' off the shelf. A face of a demon is there. "Sorry, you scared me."
She starts to walk away.
Libris says "Wait."
He grabs her and she gets sucked in the bookshelf.
Opening Credits
Manor
Prue walks in the bathroom. Someone's in the shower. "Hey, Piper, will you do me a favor and feed the cat?" Prue says wiping off the mirror "I want to get down to the haight." She gets her toothbrush and toothpaste. "You know, I wanna see if that guy is still on that bus bench. You know, I just couldn't stop thinking about him all night. I mean, there's no guarantee that he'll actually be there but if he is I wanna get a better shot."
She starts brushing her teeth and then Piper walks in "Prue, what-what are you doing in here?"
Leo pulls across the shower curtain "Piper, can you hand me a towel?" Then he sees Prue. "Prue!"
Prue's eyes widen "Leo." Piper throws him a towel. "Nice orbs."
Piper says "Bye." Prue continues to look at Leo. "Bye."
Prue walks backwards into the door.
Prue says "Ow."
Piper says "Let me help you, let me help you." Piper opens the door and Prue walks outside. "Alright, go on, sick-o."
Kitchen
Phoebe is asleep at the table with her head resting on her books and highlighter still in hand. Her mouth is open and glasses are on crooked. Michael and Zeke look up at Piper and Leo walking in.
"Shh." Michael says putting a finger to his mouth and points at Phoebe while he reads his school text book with Zeke.
Piper nods and walks up to Phoebe "Phoebe." She says gently.
She blows in Phoebe's ear and Phoebe jumps. She looks at the clock "It's 8:00, it's 8:00, I'm late for my finals." Phoebe says panicking.
Piper says "Phoebe, whoa, relax, it's Thursday. Your finals are tomorrow."
Phoebe says "It's Thursday?"
Piper reassures her "Yes."
Phoebe says "Today is Thursday. You sure?" Piper nods. "Okay, that's really good news."
Piper says "Please tell me you three didn't do another all-nighter."
Phoebe says "We can't."
Piper says "Phoebe."
Phoebe looks up at Piper and says "What? Piper, what am I supposed to do?" she looks at Leo "Hi, Leo."
Leo smiles and says "Hey."
Phoebe says "If I don't ace this final, I'm gonna flunk outta school because of all the demon hunting interruptions."
"Me too, that is why Zeke and I are working hard on passing our freshmen year." Michael says
Piper says to Phoebe "Still Phoebe, you have to take care of yourself. You have to get some rest."
Phoebe says "After. Piper, I did not go back to college to fail at it, okay. So what do I have to do?" She starts gathering her books and says "Okay, I'm gonna go change and then I'm gonna go to the library. Now, if any demon or warlock attacks, please just fend them off till Saturday." She then looks to Leo and says "I have a question for you. Is it possible for someone to find proof that demons really do exist?"
Leo says "Mmm, I don't know, maybe. But even if anybody did, nobody would ever know about it anyway."
Phoebe says "What do you mean?"
Leo says "Well, evil doesn't want anybody to know. It has a system for covering its tracks, protecting its identity. That's why demons disappear when you guys vanquish them."
"Well Zeke knows about demons and nothing happened to him." Phoebe says
"Well, Mikey is treated like a prince down there." Zeke says then puts a hand on his mouth "Never mind."
Piper ignores Zeke's suspicious attitude and says "Why do you ask?"
Phoebe says "Just curious. Okay, adios." Phoebe starts to leave.
Piper says "Wait, wait, Phoebe."
"Huh." Phoebe says turning around to face her sister
"Um, don't you wanna sign dad's birthday card?" Piper asks picking it up to show her.
Phoebe says "Why? He never sends me one." She leaves.
Piper says "She's right, he doesn't to any of us. So why do I keep trying? Am I just a sucker for punishment?"
"Give me that." Michael says taking it and grabs a pencil and reads what he writes "To Cousin Victor, Happy Birthday! Signed Michael and the girls." He shows Piper
Piper laughs and says "You are nuts."
Leo answers Pipers question "No. You keep trying because you never give up hope." He puts his arms around her. "That's one of the things I love about you. You never give up on us."
Piper asks Leo "Were you close to you dad?"
Leo says "Uhh, well, that was long time ago. A different life time. I prefer to focus on the present."
Piper says "I know Michael is close to his dad, I may not like him but…" She looks at Michael and smiles "It makes him happy. I prefer to focus on the present too, which means I have to go, I have a dentist appointment. How long can you stay?"
Leo says "Uh, until they call."
Piper says "Well, if they don't call before lunch, why don't you meet me at the club. I'll buy."
Leo says "Well, you'll have to. Whitelighter pay sucks."
They kiss and Piper leaves.
"Leo." Michael says "May I please talk to you about something for a minute?"
Leo says "For being polite I will give you two minutes."
"When you lost your powers I was assigned a new whitelighter did that change when you got them back?" Michael asks
"I believe so." Leo says.
"Ok." Michael says walking out of the room
Street
The man in Prue's photos is sitting on the bus bench and Prue walks up to him "Hi, uh, my name's Prue Halliwell." They shake hands.
The man on the bus bench says "Cleavant Wilson."
Prue gets her business card out of her pocket and hands it to him "I'm a photographer with 415 magazine and I'd just like to know if it's okay if I take your picture."
Cleavant looks at her and says "Why?"
Prue says "We're doing a feature called faces in the city and I would love to include yours."
Cleavant hands her the card back and says "Not interested." He looks through a stack of papers "Although I would appreciate it if you would include this one." He hands her a flier.
Prue takes the flier and looks at it "Tyra L. Wilson?" she questions
Cleavant says "My daughter. She was murdered six and a half months ago right here waiting for a bus. I'm looking for a witness."
Prue sits down beside him and says "That's why you were here all day yesterday."
Cleavant says "That's why I'm here every day. I have been, since the police quit on us. I'm not leaving until I find somebody who saw what happened."
Prue says "How can you be sure that you will?"
Cleavant says "I will. I have to be sure. So you gonna print that or not?"
Prue says "Actually it's not really up to me."
A bus pulls up in front of the bench. Cliff stands up and starts handing the fliers to people getting off the bus.
Cleavant gets up and hands people a flier "I'm looking for a witness, just looking for a witness. You don't have to be afraid to come forward" He sits back down. "What?"
Prue says "You two must've been very close."
Cleavant says "She was my daughter. It doesn't get any closer."
Prue says "You know, I have a, um, a friend, a really good friend, and a fiancé who are Inspectors, you know, maybe I can call them, see if they have any ideas who did it."
Cleavant says "I know who did it. The punk who owns that pawn shop across the street, Gibbs. He killed my little girl."
Prue looks at Gibbs and then back to Cleavant "Why?" she asks
Cleavant says "Wrong place, wrong time. Everybody knows he did it. The problem is he's got everyone too afraid to talk."
Michael's School
Michael and Zeke are in the hallway and Michael says "Zeke, lemme see your phone."
"Okay." Zeke says getting it from his pocket.
Michael grabs it and dials a number "Come on answer." He says
"Who are you calling?" Zeke asks
"Hello." Piper says on the other line.
"Piper, yeah it's Mikey, I was wondering if you could call me out because I am just way too tired to be around here at the school today." Michael asks
"Why don't you just flame out like you usually do?" Piper asks
"Because Prue chewed me out the last time I did that." Michael says.
"Ok I will call the school go to the club and I will pick you up there." Piper says hanging up.
"Ok then." Michael says
"Ok so how are we getting me out?" Zeke asks
Michael shrugs "Come on." And they flame out.
P3
Dan and Leo are punching each other up Michael and Zeke flame in at the back "Hey! Hey cool it." Michael says
Dan grabs Michael and tosses him into Leo as Piper comes down the stairs.
Piper says "Hey! Hey! Hey!" Dan pushes Leo up against the wall. Dan gets ready to punch Leo in the face but Piper freezes them before he can. "Alright, you first." She unfreezes Leo. Leo moves out of the way. "What the hell is going on here?"
Leo says "Don't ask me, he just came in here punching."
Piper says "Dan did? Well, what did you do to him?"
Leo says "What did I do? Nothing."
Piper turns and says "Mikey what happened?"
"I don't know I just got here." Michael says getting up.
Piper says "Oh, come on, Leo, he had to have a reason."
Leo says "Like losing you isn't an enough reason."
Piper says "Alright, back to your position. Go on."
Leo says "Are you kidding me? He's about to clock me."
Piper says "I'm sorry, I can't help you with that. Let's go, let's go."
Leo stands back where he was. Piper unfreezes Dan, Leo moves his head and Dan hits the wall instead.
Dan says "Ow!" He holds his hand in pain. "Piper, where'd you come from?"
Piper says "I'll be the one asking the questions. What the hell is going on?"
Dan says "I don't know, why don't you ask him."
Piper says "I did, I mean, I will. I'm asking you first."
Dan says "You know what? I just gotta go."
Michael walks up to in front of Dan "Don't throw me into Leo again." Michael threatens "Leo has been really, really great to me since I came to San Francisco 4 years ago." Michael says and Dan just leaves.
"Michael!" Piper snaps "Dan, wait." The Whitelighters call Leo. "Oh, no you don't. They can wait."
Leo says "I'm sorry, I have to go."
Piper says "Leo!" He orbs out.
"Me too." Michael says flaming out with Zeke.
Outside the college
Phoebe ties up her bike. She starts walking and notices the police near by. She goes over to them. There's a crowd of people around.
Phoebe says "Excuse me." She sees Morris and Andy kneeled down next to a covered body. "Darryl! Andy!" Morris and Andy walk over to her.
Morris says "Don't tell me. Demons right? Or is it warlocks this time?"
Phoebe says "What are you talking about, Darryl?"
Morris says "You're not here because of this?"
"No this is where her college is." Andy says.
Phoebe says "No, Darryl. Contrary to popular belief, not every crime in this city is demonically related or Halliwell related for that matter. I was on my way to the library. What happened?"
Morris says "A college student. She was decapitated and her body was dumped here."
Phoebe says "A college student? Any idea who?"
Morris and Andy say "Charlene Hughes."
Phoebe says "Charlene." She puts her hand on her head.
Morris says "You know her?"
Phoebe says "Yeah Michael, Zeke and I saw her last night in the library."
Later on in the library
Phoebe puts her bag on a desk and gets her books out.
Charlene is standing at the table next to Phoebe's and says "Hey, Phoebe." Phoebe looks up and her eyes widen. "Do you have an aspirin? I have a splitting headache."
Phoebe says "Charlene. Uh, you're supposed to be, uh..."
Charlene says "Supposed to be what?" A person walks straight through her.
Commercial Break
P3
Piper's cleaning up broken glass and talking on the phone "Okay, just tell Dan that I called again, okay. No believe me, he knows what it's about. Thank you." Piper hangs up. Phoebe comes down the stairs. "They're all ducking me."
Phoebe says "Who? What happened in here?"
Piper says "Dan, Michael and Leo. I found them in here beating the crap out of each other and saw Dan throw Michael right into Leo and none of them will tell me why."
Phoebe says "Whoa. Well, I hate to top that but I am dealing with a ghost who doesn't know she's a ghost. She thinks she's still alive."
Piper says "Huh?"
Phoebe says "Charlene. She's a student that I know... or knew. The police found her body behind the library. About twenty feet away from her head."
Piper says "Eww."
Phoebe goes on "So I went back to the library and I saw her ghost. You know, I tried to tell her but I-I just couldn't."
Piper says "You're right, yours tops mine."
Phoebe says "I just don't get it. How could someone not know that they're dead?"
Piper says "Uh, well, it takes them a while to accept, to get over the shock."
Phoebe says "Why today of all days? I have got to study. Hey, I know, maybe you could help me out with this one and then I can take the next two ghosts, k?"
Piper says "Nice try, Pheebs, but you know how this works. That ghost came to you for a reason and more than likely it's to get justice for her murder so she can move on."
Phoebe says "The other thing, I think a demon actually killed her."
Piper says "Oh and you were gonna pawn this off on me."
Phoebe says "Well, no, I was gonna tell you about the demon part sooner or later. Remember what Leo said about evil covering up its tracks? I think that's what happened to Charlene. She was convinced that she found proof that demons really do exist."
Piper says "Well, then you have to tell her that she's dead."
Phoebe says "I know, that's the problem. How do you tell someone that their life is over?"
"Michael I know you can hear me." Piper says trying to contact him again. "Ugh you call him." Piper says.
Phoebe gets up and says "Michael get your butt here right now or I will…" Her sentence was cut off by the arrival of a glowing shimmer of a materializing flame.
Michael flames in and says "What? I told you I don't know what happened."
"Are you sure?" Piper asks
"Yes." Michael says.
"Ok." Piper says and Michael helps her pick things up.
Police station
Prue walks up to the squad room door as Morris and Andy are walking out.
Prue says "Andy." And they look up to her.
Morris says "Oh, see, I knew I was right the first time. You guys don't give me nearly as much credit."
Prue walks with them "Credit?" she says wandering what they are talking about
Morris says "First Phoebe, now you. I've learned by now if it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck."
Prue cuts him off and says "Alright, Darryl. What are you talking about?"
Andy says "Demons. You're here to tell us what got Charlene, right?"
Prue says "Okay, number one - I have no idea who Charlene is, number two - I'm here to talk about Cleavant Wilson's daughter, Tyra."
Morris says "Tyra?" then he looks at her and says "She wasn't killed by demons."
Prue says "No, but you guys have an idea of who killed her, right?"
Morris says "We've got a pretty good idea."
Prue looks at him and says "Just a pretty good idea?"
Andy says "Alright, a very good idea. Why are you so interested?"
Prue says "Honestly, I'm not really sure. I just, I'm drawn to him for some reason and usually that means to help."
Morris says "Unless you can magically turn up a witness, I doubt there's anything you can do. You can't, right? Magically?"
Andy nods and Prue says "No, if I could do that, Darryl, Cleavant wouldn't be out there giving up his life trying to find one."
Morris says "You really wanna help? Convince him to give up trying, help him to move on. No one is ever going to testify against Gibbs. We've been down that road."
Prue's voice raises and says "He is never gonna give up trying, Guys. Alright, his daughter was his entire life and why are you guys so okay with giving up?"
Morris says "Look, Gibbs owns that street, okay. Tyra was probably gunned down because she saw something he didn't want her to see. And short of us finding a witness or him walking up on the street and confessing, there's nothing we can do."
Prue realizes something and says "Maybe there's something I can do." She starts to leave but Andy walks up behind her.
"Prue, wait." Andy says "It is too dangerous to confront Gibbs alone unless I'm there with you. Wait here." And leaves to go get his coat and they leave.
P3
Outside Piper and Michael are hanging up a poster on the window as Dan pulls up in his car and gets out. He's carrying some files and he walks over to Piper and Michael.
Dan says "I got your messages, all eight of them."
Piper says "So you wanna tell me what the fight was about?"
Dan says "Actually, I was hoping Leo would but I gather he hasn't."
Piper says He's, uh, unreachable apparently."
Dan says "You know, this is very awkward for me. I don't want to come across as the jealous ex but that's not what this is about. That's why I went to Leo first. See, I started it. I came at him very hard with this and..."
Piper says "With what?"
Dan says "Do you remember my brother in-law who works for the state department, when I asked him about Leo? Well, he found something that wasn't right with Leo's army records."
Piper says "Dan..."
Dan continues by saying "I know, I asked him not to go in any deeper than this, okay but he did and he sent me this anyway. Something very unusual." He hands her the files. "Leo isn't who he says he is. What you do with it is all up to you. You know I'm still here for you. I'm still your friend." He turns and looks at Michael "I'm sorry, you had nothing to do with this and you were trying to calm us down I guess it got out of control."
"Its all right man." Michael says as Dan walks away.
Later on in the club Piper and Prue are on their cell phones as Michael sits there doing his work for school.
Prue on the other line says "What? Leo's married?"
Piper says "Yeah, there's a picture of her in his army file, being presented his purple heart after he died. She's pretty. Her name is Lillian. Prue, why didn't he tell me about her? Why would he hide that from me?"
Prue says "I don't know, sweetie, you have to ask him."
Piper says "Well, I'd love to but he's conveniently out of the calling area at the moment. Leave it to me to fall in love with an angel who happens to be married. Prue, maybe he didn't tell me about her because he's still in love with her."
Prue says "No, come on. How do you know she's even still alive?"
Piper says "Well, I sorta had Michael do a little internet search. I was thinking maybe I should go have a chat with her."
Prue says "No, Piper, I don't think that that's a very good idea but, um, speaking of chats, Andy and I need to go talk to this pawn shop guy before he closes, okay. So we'll talk later?"
Piper says "Yeah, okay."
"Hey!" Prue yells before Piper hangs up
"Yeah." Piper says
"Have Mikey meet me and Andy here please." Prue says
"Ok I will send him." Piper says hanging up "Prue needs you now go." Piper says
Michael, without objecting, flames out to Prue
Pawn shop
Prue, Andy and Michael walk in and Prue starts jingling her keys.
"This place even gives me the creeps." Michael says as Gibbs walks out carrying a Computer screen.
"Tell me about it." Andy says
Gibbs notices them and says "We're closed."
Prue says "Well, it's only a quarter..."
Gibbs says "I said we're closed. Get the hell outta here."
"Do not talk to my cousin that way." Michael snaps
Andy Pulls Prue behind him and then does the same to Michael and then says "You know, you don't scare us."
Gibbs looks at the three of them and says "Well, then you are stupid. And stupid people don't last long in this neighborhood. Ask around."
Michael walks up to him beside Andy and says "Are you threatening us?"
Gibbs laughs and says "What are you? Reporters? Do you work for the D.A.'s office? What?" he points to Prue "I've seen you over there talking to that dead kid's old man. I know what you want."
"Is that right?" Prue retorts.
Gibbs says "Yeah, and you ain't getting it. Nobody's gonna mouth on me. Nobody. You're just wasting your time. And you're trespassing."
"Prue, Lets go." Andy says pulling her to his side.
Michael says telepathically 'Prue, Andy can probably get a warrant.'
Prue then says to Gibbs "You know, it must be something living off other people's pain." She walks to Andy and Michael by the door "I hope it doesn't come back to haunt you."
She uses her power and an accordion hits Gibbs. They walk outside and see Cleavant handing out fliers. He sees her and Michael, and Andy and he sits down on the bench.
Library
Phoebe walks over to a desk with books on it and then Charlene appears.
Charlene says "Phoebe." Phoebe gets a fright and gasps and the librarian looks at Phoebe but doesn't see Charlene "Sorry. Didn't mean to spook you."
Phoebe says "So to speak. Uh, Charlene, how are you feeling? Do you feel any different?"
Charlene thinks and says "Oh, my headache. Oh, I guess, yeah, I mean, I just feel kinda weird in general."
Phoebe says "I think that's to be expected." The librarian looks at Phoebe strangely as she can't see Charlene. "Oh, I-I think she's mad at us. Why don't we go over here so we can talk and not disturb anybody."
They walk over near the shelves.
Charlene asks "Is something wrong, Phoebe?"
Phoebe says "Um, yes, Charlene, actually there is something wrong. I-I think the reason that you've been feeling so weird lately is because you're, you're a ghost."
Charlene says in disbelief "Excuse me?"
Phoebe says "Yeah, I know that this sounds crazy and it's probably really hard for you to accept but think about it, Charlene. When was the last time you ate something, or were hungry for that matter, or slept? I mean, are you tired right now, Charlene? Are you even tired?"
Charlene says right away "What are you saying?"
Phoebe says "I am saying that I think a demon killed you last night. That's what I am trying to say. The only reason I can see you is because I'm a witch and I'm supposed to help you."
Charlene says "I think you're the one who needs help, not me."
Phoebe says "Look, you don't believe me, try picking something up. Now, you know as well as I do that neophyte ghosts can not channel their anger into moving material objects. Try picking up a book. See for yourself."
Charlene walks closer to the book shelf and raises her arm. She hesitates. She puts her arm back down. "This is ridiculous. I am not dead. I have a full life ahead of me and I will finish my thesis and I will be published." She storms off.
Phoebe starts to run after her "Charlene. Charlene, wait." Phoebe looks at Charlene's notes on the desk. She turns the page and has a premonition
Premonition
A demon attacking her with a sickle
End of Premonition
As the vision ends Phoebe gasps for air.
Librarian tired of the noise jumps up and says "Shh!"
Commercial Break
Manor: Conservatory
Phoebe's on the chair reading the Book of Shadows. Prue, Andy and Michael walk in.
Prue from the other room says "Anybody here?"
Phoebe says sitting on the chair "In here." Prue, Andy and Michael walk in.
Prue says "Hey. Oh, good, I was looking for that. Wait, what are you doing with the book?"
Phoebe says "Oh, I'm looking for the demon that's gonna kill me. I just love getting those premonitions."
"Huh?" Michael says
Prue says "Oh, okay, what premonition? When?"
Phoebe says "About an hour ago. Right after I was trying to tell Charlene that she's dead."
Prue has no idea what's going on "I'm lost."
"Me too." Andy says
Prue sits down next to Michael and Andy
Phoebe says "Oh, sorry." she laughs "Wrong sister. Okay, cliff notes version. She is a student who found proof that demons really do exist and this demon right here, Libris, chopped off her head and dumped her body behind the library because of it." She lets Prue see the page.
Prue reads the page "There are a whole bunch of Libris demons out there. 'Wherever humans have the potential to find unequivocal proof of the existence of demons.'"
Phoebe says "Yeah, talk about your conspiracy theories."
Prue says "Well, I mean, you just have to stop doing whatever it is you're doing, Pheebs."
"I don't think she can." Michael says.
Phoebe says "Right I can't. Charlene's spirit can't move on unless I get justice for her murder."
Prue says "So, what, by getting murdered yourself?"
"I wont allow my sister-in-law getting killed." Andy says.
Phoebe says "Well, hopefully not. On the bright side I won't have to suffer through flunking out of college. So how was your day?"
Prue says "Not as bad as yours but it's gonna get a hell of a lot better as soon as I find the truth spell."
Phoebe says "What do you need that for?"
Andy says "To catch a murderer who thinks he can get away with it."
Phoebe says "So you're gonna use the truth spell to make him confess?"
Prue says "Exactly."
Phoebe says "Not exactly. Prue, you can't do that. We can't use our powers to punish the guilty. We learnt that lesson the hard way, remember?"
Prue says "Yeah, but it's not the same thing, Pheebs. I mean, I'm helping a father with his grieving. I'm helping him to move on. It's more like protecting the innocent."
Phoebe says "No, it's not, honey."
Prue says "Phoebe, I see this man on the bus bench every single day and he's just waiting there hoping. Why was I drawn to him if I can't help him nail his daughter's killer?"
Phoebe asks "Why were you drawn to him?"
Prue says "The look on his face, the pain."
Phoebe says "The pain of a father's loss?"
Prue says "Maybe. I mean, I can't help thinking about dad and wondering if it hurts him as much not having his daughter's in his life."
Phoebe says "I think it does."
Prue says "Yeah, I wish I thought so too but you know, I keep bumping up against this whole theory that if it hurt him so much, where is he?"
"Back on topic, Phoebe we have been investigating this for six and a half months." Andy says.
Michael says "They need some sort of confession to arrest him."
Charlene walks through the wall. "Phoebe."
Prue, Michael and Phoebe get a fright.
Phoebe says "Charlene. That's Charlene."
Charlene says "You were right about me. I went home, I saw the folks crying, then I knew it was true. I've never seen my dad cry before. Not over me anyway. Then I got pissed. The demon did this to me. I wanna prove he doesn't exist anymore."
Prue says to Phoebe "Your friend obviously."
Phoebe says "Yeah, the dead one."
"Why is it that every time something happens here we blame demons? I am starting to feel offended." Michael says.
Lillian's apartment
She is getting a medal out of a small wooden box and shows it to Piper.
Lillian says "Leo's purple heart. He was a special man. He always went out of his way to try and help somebody, even before he shipped out. He was studying to be a doctor, you know."
Piper smiles and says "Yes, I know."
Lillian says "He would of been a great one too. You know, he had the most marvelous touch. It was gentle, sensitive."
Piper adds on "Healing."
Lillian says "Yes, exactly… A healing touch that was Leo. And they said that he was doctoring a wounded soldier when it happened. I'll never forget when they came to give me that news."
Piper says "It sounds like you still love him."
Lillian says "I'll always love Leo, in a certain way, for so many things. Including helping me to move on."
Piper tilts her head and says "Move on? How'd he do that?"
Lillian says "Well, one night, not long after he died, Leo came to me in a dream, and he was bathed in the most brilliant white light that you could ever imagine. He said I was not to worry about him, that he was in a good place. He also said that I was to let him go, that there was another love out there for me to find."
Piper says "Another love?"
Lillian says "Yes. Another doctor, as it turned out. A wonderful man. He gave me two wonderful children, grandchildren, even a great grandchild. Leo was right."
Piper says "Well, I think I've taken up enough of your time."
Lillian says "But you haven't found what you came for yet."
Piper says "Actually, I think I have. It's very nice to meet you, Lillian."
Lillian says "You too, Piper."
Manor: Living room
Prue, Phoebe, Andy Michael and Charlene are there.
Charlene says "So I was walking down the aisle and I heard strange voices, whispers, it sounded like Latin. And then I went to pull out a book and... I don't know. It all went dark until I was back in the library again with that terrible headache."
Phoebe says "And you didn't get a chance to see the demon?"
Charlene says "Don't remember."
Prue says "Alright, well, if it was Libris, he must have grabbed her in the aisle and taken her somewhere else to, you know..." She motions with her hand to show that her head was cut off. Charlene's eyes widen. "Sorry."
Charlene says "That's okay. I'm over the shock."
Phoebe says "The question is how did he grab her? And this vanquishing spell isn't gonna do us much good is we can't catch him first."
Prue says "Well, we're gonna have to do it in the library if we're gonna keep that premonition of yours from coming true."
Phoebe says "Maybe I can retrace Charlene's steps and that'll bring him out into the open."
Prue looks at her and says "Phoebe..."
Phoebe continues "And then just before he grabs me, you, Mikey and Piper can use your powers to stop him and then we can vanquish him, easy as that."
"No way." Michael says
Prue nods in agreement "No, that is way too risky."
Phoebe says "How is it risky with two witches, a demonic witch and a ghost to back me up? Prue, help me get my demon and I promise I'll do everything I can to help you get yours."
The door opens and Piper walks in "I'm home."
Prue, Michael, Phoebe and Charlene walk into the foyer.
Prue says "Come on."
Piper says "Where are we going?"
Phoebe says "We'll explain on the way there. Let's go, let's go."
Piper says "Who's that?"
Michael says "Oh, That's Phoebe's dead friend."
Library
Charlene's showing Phoebe her notes and Prue and Piper and Michael are sitting at another desk.
Charlene says "The last thing I wrote was under demonic acts. There."
Phoebe says "You know, this is pretty accurate. You were really onto something here."
Charlene says "Obviously."
Phoebe says "Sorry. Okay, what was next?"
Charlene says "I went to find the encyclopedia." Phoebe and Charlene walk over to the aisle and Prue and Piper follow. "There's the book."
Phoebe says "I don't hear any voices. Okay, here goes."
Phoebe raises her hand and pulls the book off the shelf. Nothing happens.
Charlene says "Maybe demons can see ghosts."
The demon appears and pulls Phoebe into a portal-like thing and she disappears in the bookshelf. Charlene jumps in after her. The portal closes.
Prue says "Where is she, where did she go?"
Basement
Phoebe, Charlene and the demon come out of the portal. A sickle appears in the demon's hand. He gets ready to swing the sickle at Phoebe.
Charlene yells "No!"
The demon turns around but can't see Charlene. The demon gets ready to swing the sickle again but Charlene grabs it.
Upstairs
Prue, Michael and Piper They hear noises through the vent.
Prue says "They're in the basement?"
Piper says "Uh, worth a try."
Prue astral projects in the basement just as Michael flames out
Basement
Michael flames just as Prue astrals in Prue says "Demon hide your evil face…" Libris swings his sickle and it gets stuck on an electricity wire. "…Libris die and leave no trace.""
Libris pulls the wire and gets electrocuted. He disappears and his sickle drops on the floor. Prue astral projects back in her body.
Charlene says "That was close."
Phoebe says "Yeah, thank God you were a quick study."
Charlene says "At least justice was served. So guess that means I'm moving on. Bye Phoebe. Thank you for this. Thank you for helping me."
Phoebe says "You're welcome."
Charlene closes her eyes. She waits and nothing happens. She opens her eyes and they look at each other confused. "Why am I not moving on?"
Phoebe says "I have no idea."
Commercial Break
Manor: Kitchen
Prue, Piper, Michael and Phoebe are there.
Phoebe says "I thought you said all we have to do is get justice for Charlene's murder."
Piper says "I said maybe that is all you had to do."
Phoebe says "You did not say maybe."
Piper argues "Yes I did."
Phoebe says "I did not hear the word maybe."
Prue says "Shh, shh." Charlene floats in the kitchen. "You guys aren't helping."
Charlene says "Are you sure that vanquishing spell really worked? I mean, maybe Libris isn't really gone."
Prue says "You know, you're really getting good at that." As Charlene is floating
Charlene floats to the ground "I'm just frustrated, that's all."
"You're not the only one." Michael says.
Phoebe says "I told you she was a quick study."
Piper says "Well, maybe Charlene's right. Maybe you didn't really vanquish him like the demon of Illusion."
Phoebe says "No, no, he is definitely gone. I mean, the spell was specifically written for Libris."
Prue says "Yeah, and he wouldn't of left his sickle behind if he were still alive."
Piper says "But the question still remains. If justice was served, then what is she still doing here?"
Charlene says "Damn it!" She pushes plates off the table and they crash on the floor at the same time Michael flames out and back in "Sorry."
The flier about Tyra Wilson falls on the floor.
Prue realizing something says "Wait a minute." Prue picks up the flier. "That's it."
Piper says "What? What is it?"
Prue says "Maybe she has to get justice for somebody else." She shows them the flyer
Pawn shop
Gibbs opens the door and walks in. He pulls up the blind and flips over the open sign. He pulls fliers about Tyra out of the mail slot and throws it in the bin. Charlene walks through the door then She locks the door.
Gibbs says "Who's there?"
She flips over the open sign. Gibbs gets his gun.
Charlene whispers "Gibbs."
She picks up a guitar and strums some strings. He shoots at the guitar and she drops it. She then types 'Tyra' over and over on the typewriter.
Gibbs says "Tyra." She knocks his gun out of his hand and then pulls the blinds up and down. "What the hell's going on?"
Charlene says "You know what's going on."
Gibbs says "Who are you?"
Charlene says "Who do you think I am?" She pushes him on the floor. "How does it feel to be pushed around?" She takes the flier out of the bin. "Murderer." She scrunches it up and puts it in his mouth. "I'm the woman you murdered."
Gibbs says "Leave me alone!"
He gets up and runs through the door. Glass flies everywhere.
Charlene says "Admit it. Admit you killed me or I will haunt every minute of every day of the rest of your miserable life."
Gibbs says "Okay, okay. Okay, I did it. I killed you."
Charlene says "Say it, say my name, damn it."
Prue, Piper, Phoebe, Morris, Andy, Cleavant and two other policeman walk up to them.
Gibbs says "Tyra Wilson. Tyra Wilson. I killed Trya Wilson. I admit it."
Cleavant says "I've been waiting a long time to hear you say that, Gibbs."
Prue says to Morris and Andy "Did you get that?"
Andy says "Yeah."
Morris says "I got every word." Morris grabs Gibbs.
Gibbs says "What the hell is this?"
Phoebe says "Justice."
Piper says "What's the matter, Gibbs? You look like you've seen a ghost."
Cleavant says to Gibbs "I hope you rot in hell."
Michael stands in front of Gibbs Andy walks up behind Michael and says to Gibbs "You have the right to remain silent…" Andy says walking Gibbs to the car.
The police take him away.
Morris says "How's this connected to Charlene again?"
Prue says "It's a cosmic thing, Darryl. Don't worry about it."
Morris walks away. Cleavant picks up a scrunched up flier of Tyra.
Phoebe says "Are you okay, Mr. Wilson?"
Cleavant says "Yeah, I guess. It's an empty feeling though, you know. This doesn't bring her back, it doesn't take away the hurt."
Prue says "No, but at least you can move on with your life. Tyra would've wanted that."
Cleavant says "I wish I could tell her how much I love her just one more time."
Piper says "I think she'll get the message."
Cleavant says "Thank you for however you made this happen." Prue hugs Cleavant. "Thank you." He walks away.
Charlene says "Well, even though I could never seem to please my own father, at least I could please someone else's."
Prue says "I know what you mean."
Charlene says "I think it's time." Charlene disappears.
P3
The Goo Goo Dolls are playing. Phoebe walks up to Prue and Piper.
Phoebe says "Hey. Ask me how I did on my finals."
Prue says "How did you do on your finals?"
Phoebe says "Oh, thanks for asking. I aced it. They just posted the grades."
Prue says "Yay, good for you."
Phoebe says "Thanks, although I did get some perspective in the test. After what happened to Charlene, I just didn't seem important anymore. Um, speaking of perspective…" She holds up their dad's birthday card. "I signed dad's card."
Piper says "Really?"
Phoebe says "Yes. Just in case he thinks of us too."
Piper holds out the card for Prue.
Prue says "No, I definitely don't need to sign that. I mean, I realize that dad is never gonna be the father that Cleavant is and I just need to accept that and stop thinking that magically somehow he'll change."
Leo walks down the stairs.
Piper sees him and says "Excuse me." She goes over to Leo. "How'd you get in? I thought Whitelighter pay sucked."
Leo says "I, uh, sort of didn't tell the bouncer I don't work here anymore."
Piper says "Hmm, imagine that. Like you sorta didn't tell me you were married."
Leo says "Uh, look, Piper, I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to get upset. It was literally a different life for me, one that has nothing to do with this one, with us."
Piper says "I know that and I'm not mad. But you can't not tell me stuff because you think it might hurt. If we're gonna have a normal relationship, at least as normal as possible, then you need to be honest with me."
Leo says "You're right. Sorry. Forgive me?"
Piper says "I'll think about it."
They smile.
Leo says "So, uh, how much do you think Dan really knows?"
Piper says "I don't know. We'll worry about it later."
They join Prue and Phoebe and watch the Goo Goo Dolls play.
Manor
Michael is in the attic reading his school library book when the Book of Shadows opens on its stand. Michael gets up to check it out.
'The ghost summoning spell.' He thinks to himself. "Hear these words hear my cry spirit from the other side come to me I summon the cross now the great divide." Swirls of bright white lights fill the room.
"Hello my darling." Grams says becoming corporeal.
"Hey Grams. Not that I'm great to see you again but what are you doing here?" Michael says.
"I've come to help you with your little problem." She says
"My problem?" He questions
"Yes, the threat or something." She says
"Wait how did you…?" He begins
"I watch after my family closely Michael." She says "And you are my family."
"Ok." Michael says
"I want you to know your not alone, Michael. Your mother and I are watching and waiting." Grams says.
"How is she?" Michael asks
"She's as good as can be watching over her son." Grams says
"If anything happens or if you find out anything say the spell and we'll be there to back you up." And with that she disappears.
Michael says to himself "Man she's awesome." He walks out of the manor as the books turn the pages to a shape shifter.
